The province is looking at changes to the ACL Leases and Permits Regulation.

The province is looking for public input on their proposed changes to the Agricultural Crown Lands Leases and Permits Regulation.

Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson says agricultural crown lands are used by approximately 1,750 forage leaseholders on 10,750 leased land parcels, primarily for grazing and haying, supporting nearly 90,000 cattle for the grazing season.

"The Agricultural Crown Lands Program supports sustainable expansion of livestock herds, contributes to ecological goods and services, and provides mitigation and adaptation to climate change. In particular, many Indigenous Peoples use these lands for traditional purposes and to exercise treaty rights."

Putting The Pigs On Fresh Pasture

Video: Putting The Pigs On Fresh Pasture

We've been using our pigs as little bulldozers in our pasture; letting them root, rip, and till anything in their way. Well they've done the job where they're at and today we're putting them on fresh pasture.

Not only are they moving to the 3rd paddock in our roughly 1 acre pig setup, but we're running them on a completely different fence setup as we've been expanding along into our outer most part of the sheep pasture.

Lastly, we'll be discussing our future thoughts on our AGH/Hampshire cross. Not sure the direction we're headed with them as we love working with them but just aren't quite sure on the end product as we head into the last half of our 2nd season with them.
