Register Your Rented Land | County of Grande Prairie

If you farm rented land, weed notifications going to the landowner instead of you can delay action and cause unnecessary frustration. Registering your rented lands means our weed inspectors contact you (as the renter) directly if weed concerns arise.

If you are a landowner and prefer not to be the first point of contact for weed concerns, please encourage your renter(s) to enroll in the program.

Register Your Weed Management Plan

In addition to the Register Your Rented Land program, the County offers residents the opportunity to Register Your Weed Management Plan each year to help ensure weed notifications reach the right person.

This program gives landowners and renters the opportunity to share their weed management plans in advance, allowing the County to better understand when and how weeds will be addressed. By registering a plan, producers can help reduce unnecessary communication, while supporting a more efficient and cooperative approach to weed management.

Registered Plans Must:

Include all lands covered under the plan
List all crops and the weed control methods for each, including timing
Be submitted annually

Register Your Weed Management Plan

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why do I have to update my rented lands or weed management plan yearly?

Firstly, the County has no way to track when rented land changes renters. Secondly, as crops grown on a quarter change from year to year, so will the weed management plan, thus the need to register each year.

Will the landowner be contacted when I register my plan?

Yes, the landowner will be notified that their renter has registered a weed management plan with the County.

What happens if I don't follow my plan?

If there is no reasonable explanation for the plan not being followed (eg: too wet, too dry etc), the Agricultural Fieldman will contact the producer to discuss what is happening. Each case will be reviewed by the Fieldman, and every effort will be made to work with the producer. You can also call the office to register changes if needed.

Can I register my acreage?

No, this program is only open to agricultural producers.
