1. Scope and Applicability

This rule describes one crop cycle of annual flax grown for harvested linseed at the farm gate. Its usable fixed reference is unprocessed oilseed grain, so this material PCR is narrower than the full CPC 01441 leaf. A separately declared planting-seed grade may share the field and harvest route, but requires additional seed-lot cleaning, purity and germination evidence, a distinct product-flow identity and a separate gate hand-off. It covers field preparation, sowing, crop care, harvest, first cleaning and sorting, and any aeration or drying required before hand-off. Direct combining and swathing followed by combining are alternate harvest routes. A lot may leave without powered drying when its measured moisture already meets the declared sale or storage condition. Oil extraction, flax fibre processing, or later industrial storage and transport are outside scope. A flax straw sale is a separate actual co-product, not an assumed output.

2. Product Category Identity

Field	Value
canonical_pcr_id	`pcr.agriculture-forestry-and-fishery-products.products-of-agriculture-horticulture-and-market-gardening.linseed`
classification_refs	CPC 3.0 `01441` Linseed; `narrower` material reference while generic planting-seed output identity remains unresolved; mapping relation: narrower
covered_products	Unprocessed harvested linseed or solin oilseed grain at farm gate. Planting-seed production is described as a conditional branch, but is unavailable as a validated reference until its own output flow is verified.
excluded_products	Pressed linseed oil and cake; processed flax fibre or textiles; a straw-only crop system
representative_product	Bulk cleaned linseed grain from an annual flax crop
production_route	annual field cultivation. Harvest technology is direct combine or swath then combine; the latter adds a swathing pass and time in swath. The routes are mutually exclusive for a field portion and can coexist across separately indexed fields. initial cleaning; sorting is a separate quality-state hand-off. Conditional aeration or drying adds electricity or fuel and moisture-loss accounting. A planting-seed lot adds seed-grade cleaning, purity/germination testing and separate identity at gate. These technology deltas require field, equipment, and lot records. [manitoba-flax-management] [cfia-common-seed]
market_state	Unprocessed oilseed grain with actual moisture, grade, variety or solin designation and farm-gate hand-off declared; planting-seed lots must use a separately verified reference flow.

3. Reference Flow

Field	Value
What	Farm-gate unprocessed harvested linseed grain
How much	1 kg net accepted grain
How well	For the oilseed reference, declare variety/solin status, measured wet-basis moisture, impurity grade, and whether cleaning and drying occurred; do not substitute a fixed 10% moisture mass for actual delivered mass. A planting-seed output needs a separate reference and verified seed-lot identity. [manitoba-flax-management] [cfia-common-seed]
How long or cycle	One documented annual crop cycle and its resulting grain lots
reference_flow_link	linseed_accepted

Field	Value
Reference amount	1
Reference product flow	Linseed `b5ee43d6-cd60-48df-8ac2-c3bc5ca9011f`
Reference flow property	Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`
Reference unit group	Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66`
Reference unit	kg
Required qualifiers	flax variety or solin designation; crop year and region; farm and field scope; measured wet-basis moisture; impurity or downgrade grade; oilseed market use; direct-combine or swath route; conditioning performed; farm-gate hand-off

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
`linseed_net_mass`	Reference and intermediate grain	Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`	kg	Record measured wet mass at each hand-off; deduct tare and segregated impurities.
`linseed_moisture`	Grain before/after conditioning	moisture fraction, wet basis	%	Record measured lot moisture and measurement method; if masses are compared across moisture states, convert with dry-matter conservation and disclose shrink and non-water losses.
`area_normalization`	Field inputs and emissions	area	ha	Convert field totals to kg accepted grain with harvested area and reconciled lot mass; never use a regional default yield as a measured foreground yield.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Prepared agricultural field at the start of the flax crop cycle, with previous crop and residue condition disclosed
starting_condition_role	The field is a receiving context; purchased seed, fertilizers, chemicals, energy, and water enter as product inputs with their upstream burdens.
product_classification_scope	Harvested oilseed linseed grain at farm gate; a qualified planting-seed lot requires a separate verified output flow and cannot use the fixed grain reference. Later oil or fibre conversion is excluded.
recursive_input_rule	Purchased or retained linseed used for sowing is an input to this crop cycle, not a zero-burden copy of the output; identify its distinct sowing-seed or grain source and prevent self-reference.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Link external inputs to representative upstream datasets with geography and time; separately report direct field emissions and land or residue assumptions.
disclosure	Disclose preceding crop, soil and irrigation context, tillage and harvest route, field area, crop year, actual grade/moisture, straw disposition, conditioning and any co-product allocation.

Boundary Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`boundary_field_gate`	Crop cycle	Include seeding through field management and harvest, plus on-farm first cleaning, sorting and required stabilization until the declared farm-gate lot is handed over. Include distinct seed-grade conditioning and testing when a planting-seed lot is sold. Exclude oil crushing, fibre processing and post-gate transport.	`manitoba-flax-management`, `cfia-common-seed`
`boundary_route`	Harvest	Assign either direct combine or swath-and-combine to each field portion; log desiccation if applied after physiological maturity. Do not charge both harvest alternatives to the same grain.	`manitoba-flax-management`
`boundary_straw`	Harvested biomass	Record straw left, removed for sale, or burnt and the associated operations and field-emission treatment; never assume a sale from the mere presence of straw.	`manitoba-flax-management`, `ipcc-2019-managed-soils`
`boundary_conditioning`	Grain	Include drying or aeration only if performed; identify pre- and post-intervention moisture, energy, and lot hand-off. Manitoba guidance distinguishes combining at about 10% moisture from safer long storage near 8–9%; use measured lot requirements, not a universal target.	`manitoba-growing-flax`

6. Process Inventory Structure

Process Map

process_id	process_name	inclusion	inclusion_condition	role	quantitative_reference
`flax_cultivation`	Managed annual flax cultivation	`required`	Each crop field	Prepared standing flax crop; managed inputs and field exchanges	Field and crop cycle
`flax_harvest`	Swath or direct combine and thresh	`required`	One route per field portion	Separates grain from standing crop; straw and field loss recorded	Field harvest run
`linseed_cleaning`	First grain cleaning	`required`	Record zero treatment when delivered directly as combine-cleaned grain	Separates chaff and foreign matter from raw harvested grain	Incoming grain lot
`linseed_stabilization`	Aeration or drying	`conditional`	Performed to reach declared usable moisture	Converts damp grain to stable grain; moisture and energy accounted	Conditioning lot
`linseed_grading`	Lot grading and gate hand-off	`required`	Every delivered lot	Separates accepted, downgraded, rejected and waste states	Gate lot
`linseed_seed_grade`	Planting-seed lot conditioning and gate hand-off	`conditional`	A lot is sold for sowing	Additional seed-lot cleaning, testing and distinct hand-off	Seed lot

Cultivation is a field-period operation. Harvest is separately indexed by field and machine run because swathing, combining, losses and fuel are observed at that hand-off. Cleaning, conditioning and grading are lot or batch operations. For shared equipment, meter or apportion changeover, cleaning and idle energy by documented run time or handled mass once, and reconcile field-to-lot links. [manitoba-flax-management]

Urea fertilizer (`flax_cultivation_agricultural_nutrient_inputs_urea`)

Collection scope and applicability for flax_cultivation_agricultural_nutrient_inputs. The following concrete identities have separate cards and apply only when use or generation is evidenced inside the original process scope. They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services.

Collect each fertilizer product separately. Preserve each actual product identity, quantity, formulation, nutrient composition, application event, and allocation; do not count a compound product more than once. Raw activity or stage basis: field and crop cycle.

Confirm identity, grade, state and unit from equipment, supplier and contemporaneous measurements; the product UUID does not establish actual use or upstream-provider compatibility. Count physical product mass once and retain moisture, N/P/K composition and application events; nutrient quantities are calculated attributes, not additional purchases of the same product. Give unlisted compound and organic fertilizers separate cards identified by formulation or feedstock.

Evaporated moisture (`linseed_evaporated_water`)

Calculate water removed from measured before and after mass/moisture, separate from dry-grain or spill losses.

Selected flow: Water vapour, elementary identity pending local flow convention
Flow property / unit: Mass / kg
Amount rule: Determine supported evaporation on a closed water-mass control volume: incoming material water + actual added water + opening water stock - water in all accepted/co-product/reject/residue exits - separate liquid discharge/exports - closing water stock. Use measured wet mass times wet-basis moisture for each material stream, and compatible density for liquid volumes. Internal recirculation cancels. Retain actual rain/rewetting where relevant; total fresh/dry mass difference is not all water. Independently support all terms and the evaporation pathway; investigate an unexplained or negative balance rather than force it into a vapour release or clip it to zero. Keep water quantities distinct from dry-solids loss and other volatiles. Attribute and normalize the evidenced water release once using the original matched final reference.

Electricity at the equipment supply point (`linseed_seed_cleaning_energy_electricity`)

Collection scope and applicability for linseed_seed_cleaning_energy. The following concrete identities have separate cards and apply only when use or generation is evidenced inside the original process scope. They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services.

Record energy for additional seed-grade cleaning by lot. [cfia-common-seed] Raw activity or stage basis: seed lot.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`allocation_single_grain`	Grain and straw	First document whether sold straw or separately sold downgraded grain exists. Retained straw and field losses are residues, not co-products. Keep accepted and downgraded grain masses distinct.	`manitoba-flax-management`
`allocation_biophysical`	Multiple sold outputs	Where a process has independent sold grain and straw, first divide separable collection, baling and handling directly. For inseparable field and harvest burdens, use a documented physically causal relationship if one is justified; otherwise use a crop-year revenue share based on actual gate prices and masses, report the shares, and test sensitivity to a mass share. Do not allocate residue returned to soil as a sold output.	`manitoba-flax-management`, `eu-pef-allocation`
`allocation_batch`	Shared runs	Index field portions, harvest runs and conditioning lots. Attribute common cleaning, dryer startup and changeover energy once using measured run time or throughput; reconcile totals before allocating to accepted, downgraded and rejected outputs.	`manitoba-growing-flax`
`allocation_rework`	Re-cleaned or downgraded grain	Re-cleaning adds its actual energy and losses to the linked lot; do not create extra primary grain production. Recovered sale grain is counted once at its final hand-off and discarded reject carries no product credit.	`manitoba-flax-management`
`allocation_seed`	Seed and oilseed outputs	Assign additional seed-grade cleaning, treatment and tests directly to seed lots. Share inseparable cultivation and harvest burdens only between the final sold seed, oilseed and straw outputs under the declared joint-burden method; a downgraded seed lot becomes oilseed only at its final hand-off.	`cfia-common-seed`

Concrete cards do not inherit numerical ranges from the former aggregate card. Determine quantities from original records, stock/meter reconciliation and the declared reference flow; no default quantity or numeric screen is supplied without evidence matching the identity, unit, period and boundary. Missing range evidence is a quality disclosure, not zero use or proof of completeness.

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Specific input identification before dataset completion

Identify the actual input for this operation from supplier specifications, equipment and primary records. This is a mandatory collection requirement, not an exchange. Before dataset completeness, represent each used material, formulated product, carrier or independently purchased service by one physically specific card with its native quantity/property; confirm a compatible UUID, or retain an explicit unresolved identity and do not claim a fully linked dataset. Do not substitute a conditional example for an unknown actual input, invent a recipe, omit required use or infer zero from missing records. Attribute shared use, reusable assets and inclusive services once; preserve the original stage/period and measured throughput link to final reference output. The former aggregate range is not a component limit or consumption default.

`linseed_seed_treatment_specific_input`	`cp_seed_grade`	Operation linseed_seed_grade: Record treatment material only when applied to the seed lot. [cfia-common-seed] Original quantity method: recorded product mass by lot

Retain raw site, lot, cycle and stage quantities and denominators in each collection protocol. Reconcile stocks, losses, moisture and co-product attribution first, then normalize: normalized exchange = attributable raw exchange × declared reference quantity / accepted hand-off product quantity on the same boundary and measurement basis. Apply perennial-establishment and shared-operation attribution before this normalization. Never set an internal-transfer quantity equal to the final reference quantity. Per declared reference flow means the amount, unit and product state in section 3; the data package must declare its actual route and gate.

Before dataset completeness, represent each used material, formulated product, carrier or independently purchased service by one physically specific card with its native quantity/property; confirm a compatible UUID, or retain an explicit unresolved identity and do not claim a fully linked dataset. Do not substitute a conditional example for an unknown actual input, invent a recipe, omit required use or infer zero from missing records. Attribute shared use, reusable assets and inclusive services once; preserve the original stage/period and measured throughput link to final reference output. The former aggregate range is not a component limit or consumption default. | kg, %, kWh | each seed lot | harvest-to-gate interval | each seed lot | per declared reference flow | signed seed test and sale records | | cp_phase1_environment_coverage | flax_cultivation | managed environmental coverage by actual node | site/activity/method ledger | site and actual managed nodes; area; dated occupation intervals; co-users; establishment/immature history; actual prior/current land classes and transformation dates/areas; carbon-method coverage; upstream land coverage | Collect original records by the actual responsible production node and matched lot/period; retain provenance, method applicability and uncertainty. Reconcile with existing protocols and provider coverage, do not add duplicate events. Explicitly document inapplicability; absent evidence is a gap. | native activity units; kg N or substance; area/time as applicable | event and annual/lot reconciliation | matched production/cohort period | all actual managed-production nodes | apply applicable coverage calculations then final normalization once | original records, method worksheets and applicability evidence |

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
`calc_lot_yield`	Each field	final grain output kg / harvested ha, retaining accepted, downgraded and reject states separately	gate masses, field links, area	yield by grade and field	`manitoba-flax-management`
`calc_moisture_balance`	Aerated or dried lot	dry matter = incoming wet mass × (1 − incoming wet-basis moisture); expected outgoing wet mass = conserved dry matter / (1 − outgoing wet-basis moisture), adjusted for measured dry-matter reject	paired masses and moisture, reject	water removal and mass-balance residual	`manitoba-growing-flax`
`calc_soil_n2o`	Managed field soil	apply declared region-specific or IPCC 2019 direct and indirect N2O method to documented synthetic, organic and residue N; subtract sold or burnt residue from returned residue pool	field N and residue records, method factors	kg N2O by pathway	`ipcc-2019-managed-soils`
`calc_allocation`	Co-product crop year	directly assign separable operations; allocate only remaining joint burdens by justified causal basis or actual sold value shares, with mass-share sensitivity	sold masses, prices, joint burdens	burden share per sold output	`eu-pef-allocation`
`chemical_species_mass_accounting`	`elementary_nutrient_emissions`	Final elementary exchanges use the mass of the identified substance and one actual receiving compartment. Keep nutrient/activity ledgers separate: species-specific N2O-N × 44/28 gives N2O, NH3-N × 17/14 gives NH3, nitrate-N × 62/14 gives nitrate, and phosphate-P × 95/31 gives phosphate. If the selected flow is elemental phosphorus instead, report kg P and convert phosphate mass by 31/95 only when that species basis is evidenced. Apply a conversion exactly once only when the method output is on the elemental basis; measured compound mass is not reconverted. Total nutrient losses cannot be assigned to a single species without a supported split, and residual/retained soil nutrient is not an emission. Keep direct/indirect pathway ledgers and avoid repeating a pathway already included in the chosen method or upstream inventory. Factor uncertainty ranges screen factors on their stated basis, not final compound amounts or admissible site emissions. Normalize the attributable compound mass once using the accepted reference quantity and the matched measured output. Unknown activity, identity or compartment remains an evidence gap and blocks a completeness claim.	`cp_soil_emissions`; species-specific activity ledger, method pathway and factor basis, matched accepted output	Identity-specific exchanges and reconciled activity records

Environmental Coverage Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
`calc_managed_land_coverage`	actual managed-production nodes	For each actual owned managed-production site, collect the occupied area and dated occupation intervals, including attributable establishment/immature and production periods. Occupation is area multiplied by actual duration, converted explicitly to the selected area-time unit (1 ha = 10,000 m2; time in years); hectares per crop-cycle alone are not an area-time result without duration. Partition or take the union of overlapping establishment/management intervals so the same area-time is counted once, with shares across actual co-users summing to one. Record evidenced land transformation separately by actual from/to land class, event area and date under the declared land-use method; transformation has area units and is not added to occupation. Planting, continued occupation or missing prior-land data do not establish a transformation or zero transformation. Preserve actual historical-event attribution and carbon-stock/emission method coverage where applicable; no invented land conversion or generic carbon credit. Instantiate separate compatible elementary identities with verified UUIDs or explicit unresolved identities; attribute once and normalize to the matched final reference. Purchased completed biological inputs inherit compatible upstream land coverage once instead of duplicating it locally. Missing applicable land identity, area, duration or prior-state evidence remains a completeness gap; documented no transformation is a valid absence.	cp_phase1_environment_coverage	attributed native environmental quantities per matched final reference

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
`dq_identity`	Reference product	Verify unprocessed linseed identity, variety, moisture and grade; oil, fibre or sowing-seed datasets cannot substitute.	gate ticket, lot assay
`dq_seed_identity`	Planting-seed branch	A planting-seed dataset requires its distinct platform flow identity, intended-use record, purity/germination tests and seed-grade hand-off; the oilseed reference UUID alone is insufficient.	seed certificate, sale ticket, flow-identity check
`dq_completeness`	Field-to-gate chain	Reconcile field area and grain lots, cleaning and moisture losses, accepted/downgraded/rejected outputs, straw and residues, and all significant applied products and energy.	field and lot balance
`dq_time`	Foreground	Use one documented crop year or disclose pooling years; each operation and output must link to a field, run or lot without shared-burden duplication.	dated logs and tickets
`dq_method`	Emissions and allocation	State factors, regional applicability, uncertainty and actual co-product prices or causal basis; do not silently mix residue return and burning assumptions.	method worksheet and sources

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`validate_identity`	Gate lot	Require linseed grain, actual moisture and grade, crop year and farm-gate hand-off; reject oil and fibre identities. Require a separate flow and test-backed grade for a planting-seed reference.	`manitoba-flax-management`, `cfia-common-seed`
`validate_routes`	Field and lot	Exactly one direct-combine or swath route per field portion; a drying or aeration node appears only when logged and must contain pre/post moisture, energy and hand-off.	`manitoba-flax-management`, `manitoba-growing-flax`
`validate_outputs`	Grain and straw	Reconcile accepted, downgraded, rejected, reworked and moisture-loss states to incoming lot; record each straw fate and any sale hand-off; do not count retained or burnt straw as a sold co-product.	`manitoba-flax-management`
`validate_runs`	Field, machine and lot	Link shared inputs, cleaning/changeover, outputs and rework to one run or period; assign each shared burden and final product once.	`manitoba-growing-flax`
`validate_residue_n`	Soil emissions	Show residue N returned, removed and burnt separately and avoid double-counting in N2O calculations.	`ipcc-2019-managed-soils`
`validate_seed_branch`	Planting-seed lot	Reconcile diverted grain into qualified seed, oilseed downgrade and reject; require purity/germination evidence, additional conditioning records and a verified seed UUID before a planting-seed dataset is validated.	`cfia-common-seed`

10. Published Dataset Profile

System boundary rules · 4

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`boundary_field_gate`	Crop cycle	Include seeding through field management and harvest, plus on-farm first cleaning, sorting and required stabilization until the declared farm-gate lot is handed over. Include distinct seed-grade conditioning and testing when a planting-seed lot is sold. Exclude oil crushing, fibre processing and post-gate transport.	manitoba-flax-management, cfia-common-seed
`boundary_route`	Harvest	Assign either direct combine or swath-and-combine to each field portion; log desiccation if applied after physiological maturity. Do not charge both harvest alternatives to the same grain.	manitoba-flax-management
`boundary_straw`	Harvested biomass	Record straw left, removed for sale, or burnt and the associated operations and field-emission treatment; never assume a sale from the mere presence of straw.	manitoba-flax-management, ipcc-2019-managed-soils
`boundary_conditioning`	Grain	Include drying or aeration only if performed; identify pre- and post-intervention moisture, energy, and lot hand-off. Manitoba guidance distinguishes combining at about 10% moisture from safer long storage near 8–9%; use measured lot requirements, not a universal target.	manitoba-growing-flax

Allocation rules · 6

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_single_grain`	Grain and straw	First document whether sold straw or separately sold downgraded grain exists. Retained straw and field losses are residues, not co-products. Keep accepted and downgraded grain masses distinct.	manitoba-flax-management
`allocation_biophysical`	Multiple sold outputs	Where a process has independent sold grain and straw, first divide separable collection, baling and handling directly. For inseparable field and harvest burdens, use a documented physically causal relationship if one is justified; otherwise use a crop-year revenue share based on actual gate prices and masses, report the shares, and test sensitivity to a mass share. Do not allocate residue returned to soil as a sold output.	manitoba-flax-management, eu-pef-allocation
`allocation_batch`	Shared runs	Index field portions, harvest runs and conditioning lots. Attribute common cleaning, dryer startup and changeover energy once using measured run time or throughput; reconcile totals before allocating to accepted, downgraded and rejected outputs.	manitoba-growing-flax
`allocation_rework`	Re-cleaned or downgraded grain	Re-cleaning adds its actual energy and losses to the linked lot; do not create extra primary grain production. Recovered sale grain is counted once at its final hand-off and discarded reject carries no product credit.	manitoba-flax-management
`allocation_seed`	Seed and oilseed outputs	Assign additional seed-grade cleaning, treatment and tests directly to seed lots. Share inseparable cultivation and harvest burdens only between the final sold seed, oilseed and straw outputs under the declared joint-burden method; a downgraded seed lot becomes oilseed only at its final hand-off.	cfia-common-seed
`allocation_rule_6`	foreground_burden_allocation	Concrete cards do not inherit numerical ranges from the former aggregate card. Determine quantities from original records, stock/meter reconciliation and the declared reference flow; no default quantity or numeric screen is supplied without evidence matching the identity, unit, period and boundary. Missing range evidence is a quality disclosure, not zero use or proof of completeness.

Validation rules · 6

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`validate_identity`	Gate lot	Require linseed grain, actual moisture and grade, crop year and farm-gate hand-off; reject oil and fibre identities. Require a separate flow and test-backed grade for a planting-seed reference.	manitoba-flax-management, cfia-common-seed
`validate_routes`	Field and lot	Exactly one direct-combine or swath route per field portion; a drying or aeration node appears only when logged and must contain pre/post moisture, energy and hand-off.	manitoba-flax-management, manitoba-growing-flax
`validate_outputs`	Grain and straw	Reconcile accepted, downgraded, rejected, reworked and moisture-loss states to incoming lot; record each straw fate and any sale hand-off; do not count retained or burnt straw as a sold co-product.	manitoba-flax-management
`validate_runs`	Field, machine and lot	Link shared inputs, cleaning/changeover, outputs and rework to one run or period; assign each shared burden and final product once.	manitoba-growing-flax
`validate_residue_n`	Soil emissions	Show residue N returned, removed and burnt separately and avoid double-counting in N2O calculations.	ipcc-2019-managed-soils
`validate_seed_branch`	Planting-seed lot	Reconcile diverted grain into qualified seed, oilseed downgrade and reject; require purity/germination evidence, additional conditioning records and a verified seed UUID before a planting-seed dataset is validated.	cfia-common-seed
