Garton's Auction will host the Manitoba government's Crown land lease and permit auctions that begins on Monday, January 31.
A number of agricultural Crown land parcels will be available to rent for haying, grazing or cropping.
"There are about 170 parcels up for auction this year," said Larry Garton. "The initial bidding begins at $200. Some won't get any bids, plenty will get some and last year we even had some parcels of land go for upwards of $20,000,"
The parcels of land are all over the province and the auction will run until Friday, February 4.
The official listing of agricultural Crown lands available for rent can be found at land openings.
These leases and permits are available to farmers and ranchers to provide an additional land base to conduct agricultural activities. To take part, head to Gartons Auction.
