Association of Alberta Agricultural Fieldmen (AAAF)
Agricultural Fieldmen have always been central to the success of Agricultural Service Boards. They develop, implement, and control programs designed to carry out priorities and policies set by their Agricultural Service Board. While education and awareness are key tools Fieldmen use in their work, they are also appointed as inspectors or regulatory officers enforcing Alberta statutes such as the Agricultural Service Board Act, the Weed Control Act, the Soil Conservation Act, and the Agricultural Pests Act.
The full AAAF membership meet annually at “In-Service Training” to obtain updated technical training, discuss relevant issues, and conduct Association business. As some of the last agricultural and environmental generalists in a sector prone to specialists, Agricultural Fieldmen are often asked to share their uniquely wide perspectives on these issues. The motto of the AAAF is to work for a better agricultural industry in all parts of Alberta.
