About the Board
The County Council and two farm members, together with
the Agricultural Fieldmen, address the current and local issues affecting
agricultural production, develop policies and implement programs for the
benefit of farmers and the environment.
The Agricultural Service Board was established
in Starland County in 1945, in accordance with the Agricultural Service Board
Act of Alberta. The Board is funded through a Provincial Service Board Grant,
fees from Sales and Service from Control Programs, Municipal Tax, and other
grants.
These funds are budgeted by the Agricultural
Service Board members and approved by Council. Board activities are
administered by the agricultural fieldmen. ASB meetings are held once a month on the first Tuesday of each month.
