Experimental Station Lands Opened for Cattle Grazing
The federal government opens about 150000 acres of Suffield Experimental Station land for grazing to aid the cattle industry amid drought. The land, unowned grazed for years, will form a two mile west boundary along the South Saskatchewan River, creating a two by thirty mile pasture with water. PFRA will operate it as Alberta's first community pasture under a temporary one year plan. Local ranchers and officials praise the move as a life saver for cattlemen and the industry.
