About the Agricultural Service Board

Grassroots Guidance for Producers

ASBs were first conceived by Alberta Agriculture in 1945 to establish local grassroots bodies that would work with area agricultural producers on issues and concerns specific to each municipality. 

Every rural municipality in Alberta has an appointed Agricultural Service Board. Like all municipalities in the province, the MD's Agricultural Service Board (ASB) is appointed under the Agricultural Service Board Act of Alberta.
