Lac Ste. Anne County uses integrated pest management systems to control and eradicate noxious and prohibited noxious weeds. By putting grazing, mowing and herbicide pressure on these invasive species, we aim to maintain and enhance the level of native vegetation we have and, give crops the advantage they need to prosper and minimize weed establishment.
Pest Control Services
Inspections done annually on crops help to control the establishment and spread of various crop diseases (like clubroot), and crop pests (like high grasshopper populations). Our goal is to educate producers on these topics and build strong management plans should disease or pests threaten yields.

The County seeks agricultural producers to participate in our Alternative Land Use Services Program which helps sustain agriculture, wildlife, and natural spaces for the benefit of both landowners and the environment.
A number of bursary and award programs are offered each year to encourage producers to pursue further educational opportunities, and to enhance the ability of young people to make meaningful contributions to the agricultural community.
