Brazeau County

The Agriculture Department and the Agricultural Service Board work hand in hand to deliver agricultural based programming for the municipal ratepayer. The Agricultural Service Board is the policy recommending body to Council, while the Agricultural Department is the implementation and enforcement arm of the operations.

Priorities of the Agriculture Department include training landowners to control weeds, diseases and insects, to prevent the establishment of new weeds, roadside vegetation management, and to prevent soil erosion.

Please check back often for announcements of upcoming agriculture events and new programs. Don't forget to check out our Ag Kiosk or our Equipment Rentals page.

Residents in Brazeau County are especially proud of the work conducted by researchers at the Breton Soil Plots. To learn more about Brazeau Healthy Waterways, or to order your shelterbelt trees, visit our Conservation page.
