Privatization fears over pasture program
There is a lot of talk between those people working on community pastures – they’ve heard that the program is the victim of federal budget cuts.
But, nothing has been confirmed leaving people wondering if they will be privatized or passed over to the provincial government, said Scott Sigfusson, who works at a community pasture near Davidson.
They run about 4,000 acres of pasture, which has almost returned to its natural grassland state, even with around 80 cattle grazing in it.
Keeping that area for the endangered species living there is important, said Sigfusson.
