Agricultural Service Board

The County of Warner Agriculture Service Shop is located just outside of the Village of Warner, on the same location as the Public Works Shop. As you come into Warner, turn right onto the old Highway 4 just before the railroad tracks.  Take the second right and you will see the ASB Shop and the Public Works Shop on your left. The address is 172008 Twp Rd 4-2.


The County of Warner, in its objective to promote and develop agricultural policies that will meet the needs of the municipality, has constituted an Agricultural Service Board to advise and assist with respect to improving the economic welfare and sustainability of the agricultural community. All Councillors serve on the Agricultural Service Board, and have recently reviewed and approved the Strategic Plan 2025-2029 and Situation Statement.

The Agricultural Service Board, through consultation with local ratepayers, the local Salinity Survey and a Strategic Planning session, have identified the following goals:

Crop Protection: to enhance crop production through monitoring, control and eradication of agricultural weeds and pests. 

Soil and Water Management: to enhance soil and water conditions and biodiversity for increased crop production and wildlife habitat in the County.

General Management Plan: to have discretionary agriculture related service(s) which is responsive to the needs of County residents.

ASB Operations: to increase efficiency and effectiveness through revised management systems of timing, scheduling and utilization of staff and equipment.

Grain Bag & Twine Recycling Pilot Program: the Agricultural Service Board now accepts grain bags and twine.
  • Grain bags must be empty, clean, rightly rolled and tied.
  • Twine must be clean, loosely placed in Cleanfarms recycling bags or bulk tote bags.
  • You must schedule a drop off time in advance by calling 403-642-2255, so that staff and equipment are available.

Conservation: landowners throughout the County are taking action to benefit the environment and their businesses. The County has information on a number of programs that support landowners in adopting practices that are good for the land, for the water, and for their bottom line. Visit the Agricultural Grant Opportunities and Support page by clicking HERE for the information!


County Policies: agricultural policies passed by Council to support these programs can be found in the Policy Handbook, which you can view by clicking HERE in the policy section of the website.


Provincial Regulations: the Agricultural Service Board is bound by the terms of the Agricultural Service Board Act, and delivers the required services for the municipality in accordance with other acts and regulations regarding agricultural pests, animal health, soil conservation, and weeds.

Public Awareness and Education: many programs that are part of the Agricultural Service Board are aimed at creating awareness and provide education to residents and visitors to the area. This includes a newsletter produced approximately twice per year, of which you can find online copies HERE! 

Notices of upcoming programming are also posted on our Facebook Page. Visit our Facebook page to see the latest news!

The department is also responsible for the parks owned by the County, and has created moments for people visiting these parks to learn more about the environment they are recreating in and the local community.
