New Publication For Owners Of Livestock Facilities

Alberta Agriculture has released its new Relocation of Livestock Facilities Planning Guide. Chris Ullmann, CFO extension specialist, says access to water was a major concern when many farmsteads were established and today producers are increasingly concerned with the impact their site has on the watershed, and the perceptions of their neighbours and other water users. Ullmann adds proactive producers may have questions about improving the site they have or how to move to a better location.
