Breton Plots

The Breton Plots celebrated 75 years of research in 2004.The Breton Classical Plots were established in 1929 near the Village of Breton, 100 km southwest of Edmonton, by the Department of Soils, University of Alberta. These plots were originally designed to find a system of farming suitable for the wooded soil belt. Today, the Breton Plots provide a model of how diverse cropping practices affect typical Gray Luvisolic soils.

Wild Boar Bounty

New on the Pest Act list are wild boars which are moving south through neighboring counties. Currently, none have been found in Brazeau County.  We have joined the Wild Boar Bounty Program from Alberta Agriculture. The municipality pays the hunters $50 per pair of wild boar at large ears submitted and collects a signed declaration that states the animal was at large, was killed humanely and legally and the legal land location where the animal was killed.
