The County of Warner, in its objective to promote and develop agricultural policies that will meet the needs of the municipality, has constituted an Agricultural Service Board to advise and assist with respect to improving the economic welfare and sustainability of the agricultural community.
All Councillors serve on the Agricultural Service Board. The Agricultural Service Board, through consultation with local ratepayers, the local Salinity Survey and a Strategic Planning session, have identified the following goals:
Crop Protection: to enhance crop production through monitoring, control and eradication of agricultural weeds and pests.
Soil and Water Management: to enhance soil and water conditions and biodiversity for increased crop production and wildlife habitat in the County
General Management Plan: to have discretionary agriculture related service(s) which is responsive to the needs of County residents.
A.S.B. Operations: to increase efficiency and effectiveness through revised management systems of timing, scheduling and utilization of staff and equipment.
Grain Bag & Twine Recycling Pilot Program: The Agricultural Service Board now accepts grain bags and twine.
- Grain bags must be empty, clean, tightly rolled and tied.
- Twine must be clean, loosely placed in Cleanfarms recycling bags or bulk tote bags
You must schedule a drop off time in advance by calling 403-642-2255, so that staff and equipment are available.
The seminar series, led by industry experts, presents practical approaches to a wide variety of nutrient management topics, presentations are organized into four categories which include;
Soil Health,
Alternate nutrient management strategies,
New techniques, technologies, and precision agriculture, and
Effective immediately the County of Warner No.5 has downgraded the Fire Ban to a Fire Advisory.
Under the advisory permits are issued for activities that require them, but permit holders must use extra caution for safe and responsible burning. Permits can be requested by contacting your local Fire Chief.
Recreational fire pits, charcoal BBQ's, and fires that are contained in cooking or heating appliances fueled by fluids or gases (gas or propane fueled fire rings, BBQ's, stoves) are allowed.
The public is still reminded of the dangers that smoking materials can cause when they are discarded into dry vegetation, including ditches. Always dispose of smoking materials in proper containers and ensure they are completely out.
Off-Highway Vehicles and farm equipment can also start wildfires. Be sure to check that hotspots remain free of debris and that mufflers and spark arrestors are working properly.
The County thanks everyone for their cooperation in keeping the region safe from wildfires during this time..
This fire rating is for the County of Warner only.
