Agricultural Service Board (ASB)
The Agricultural Service Board (ASB) of Clear Hills County consists of four community members-at-large and two Councillors. Representing the agricultural interests of the county, the ASB leverages years of sector experience to advise the Council on how best to serve our producers. Their services range from providing pesticide recommendations to helping ranchers with veterinary costs, all aimed at supporting and enhancing our agricultural community.
Meeting approximately ten times a year, ASB members also attend tours and educational conferences to stay updated on industry developments. Members serve four-year terms, and those interested in contributing to the Agricultural Service Board are encouraged to complete a Member-at-Large Application.
The ASB is tasked with implementing and enforcing legislative requirements under various acts, including the Agricultural Service Board Act, the Weed Control Act, the Agricultural Pests Act, the Soil Conservation Act, and the Animal Health Act. Their work involves managing weeds and pests, conserving soil and water, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, controlling animal diseases, and developing municipal policies to support these initiatives.
