The Calgary Stampeders and the Toronto Argonauts ate the final teams remaining in the 2017 Canadian Football League playoffs.

The two squads will meet this Sunday in Ottawa, Ont. in the 105th Grey Cup to determine who is the best team in Canadian football.

While most football analysts use quarterback play, defensive stats and other personnel matchups to determine the winner, here at Farms.com we use the agricultural statistics from each of the represented provinces: Alberta and Ontario.

The information used is from Statistics Canada.
