Deal flow benchmarks - regional search?

by a searcher from Wilfrid Laurier University

Hi all, new to the community.

My search partner and I are in the early stages of a region-focused search in Ontario, Canada. GDP ~$900b, population: 15m. We're trying to get a grasp of some deal flow benchmarks (daily/weekly/monthly) to gauge the productivity of our search approach, and set some expectations/targets.

Would anyone familiar with a regional search have some deal flow metrics or insight to share from their own experience? Any other advice or connections for a regional search are also really appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Any interest in agribusinesses? Listowell might be a good place for that. Good luck!
