Our local municipalities saw this coming... Our local pasture butts right up against some very aggressive potato growers with deep pockets.
from the local news.....
The Community Pasture Conservation Easement Agreement Initiative undertaken by the rural municipalities of Langford and Lansdowne in Manitoba is the largest conservation easement agreement in Manitoba and the third largest in Canada, according to municipal sources.
Not only does this agreement protect a valuable aquifer running beneath the area's fragile prairie grassland, it ensures the preservation of the 9,822 acres of natural grasses in the Langford Community Pasture in perpetuity.
