MUNICIPAL DITCH MOWING & HAY SALVAGE (RM Road Ditches)…
 

The RM of Dufferin #190 has commenced a top cut of municipal road allowances.

Any landowner that wishes to hay municipal road allowances adjacent to their land after July 1, please contact the R.M. office at 306-638-3112.

HIGHWAY DITCH MOWING & HAY SALVAGE
Priority for cutting and baling highway ditches is given to the adjacent landowner before July 8. After July 8, anyone may salvage this material without contacting or getting the permission of the landowner, providing that salvage operations have not already begun. Non-adjacent landowners or lessees who want to harvest roadside hay prior to July 8 are encouraged to contact the landowner or lessee and make arrangements to become their designate. The hay must be cut at a uniform height leaving a neat appearance. Bales of hay must be at least eight (8) metres from the edge of the shoulder of the highway. All bales must be removed from the right-of-way by Aug 8.

Key Dates: July 8 – Prior to this date, a landowner or lessee nearest to a highway ditch has the first option to cut or bale hay. After this date, anyone may cut and bale hay or grass in a highway ditch without getting the permission of the adjacent landowner, provided salvage operations haven’t begun. July 15 to October 15 – Ministry contractors will begin mowing a four-metre cut adjacent to the highway shoulder. This progress will be dependent on the weather and ditch conditions. For more information, contact your nearest Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure office. For the R.M. of Dufferin , this is the Regina office: 306-787-4952
