Growing stewardship.

The Growing Stewardship program is attempting to identify agri-environmental issues relating to crop production. We are looking specifically at crop production issues because this relates directly to our organizations mandate and because the governments have already identified the key livestock production issues. The ultimate goal is to organize and prioritize the issues and associated BMP's into a form that is easy to access and comprehend by producers. This information will be used by Farming Smarter to direct our efforts in research and extension to better support producers in Southern Alberta.
