Grazing Fees Waived on Leased Crown Land
Agriculture Minister Jim Downey announced no grazing fees for crown land leased by farmers this year. The move aims to help producers recover losses from distressed markets in 1977 while rents remain regulated by cattle market prices. Lessees still pay local property taxes at the same rate as similar private lands, with options to challenge via municipal council or court of revision.
