The relief is mountainous and the altitude increases rapidly as it progresses north of the MRC. The productions are diversified (vineyard, hatchery, hutch, etc.). New crops are also integrated into the landscape of the MRC, including hemp and the “soyer du Québec” milkweed. A cooperative of soyer producers has also emerged following the establishment of this new crop. The administrators of the Union of the UPA of Mékinac listen to the agricultural producers of their territory. For example, at a sector meeting, a producer pointed out that there was a lot of paperwork to fill out and that this situation was discouraging farmers. It did not take more to convince the Board of Directors to embark on the adventure of producing the "Logbook". This document allows a worker to find all the documents to be completed for a producer in the same place. They can therefore help them complete their numerous papers more easily. This mobilization of producers in the MRC subsequently made it possible to facilitate the implementation of mobilizing projects in the agri-environment, among others on the banks of the Des Envies and the Noire rivers.
