The AMCP is a producer-led not-for-profit organization governed by an elected Board of patrons from pastures across the province. It was first organized by concerned pasture patrons in Manitoba after the federal government announced it would discontinue operating community pastures (formerly the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration). The transition process is now complete and AMCP is operating 20 community pastures as of 2016.
