Anhydrous ammonia safety training updated By Murray Green
Agricultural producers will be able to renew their training on the safe handling and use of anhydrous ammonia fertilizer with Fertilizer Canada’s newly-updated educational manual and video that provide more recent and comprehensive information. The Anhydrous Ammonia Safety and the Farmer video and accompanying
training manual provide farmers with free, important information on how to transport, handle and use the product on their fields. Anhydrous ammonia fertilizer is a key source of nitrogen used by farmers across Canada to improve crop yields, and is safe to work with when stored, transported, and handled properly. Providing training to
end-users significantly reduces the opportunity for incidents to occur. “Fertilizer Canada is committed to providing relevant training materials to ensure the safe and secure use of fertilizer at all levels of the supply chain,” said Garth Whyte, president and CEO. “Anhydrous ammonia is a highly effective fertilizer that helps farmers feed our growing population and
replenish nutrients in the soil. Farmers who rely on anhydrous ammonia will now have the most up-todate information on the safe and secure handling of the product through these updated materials.” In addition to providing several training resources in the form of videos and online eLearning courses for various audiences from farmers to first respond-
ers, Fertilizer Canada and its members are certified through three codes of practice. Farmers interested in getting the most up-to-date safety training can find the video and training manual at fertilizercanada.ca. The fertilizer industry plays an essential role in Canada’s economy, contributing $23 billion annually and over 76,000 jobs.

Camrose County appoints its fire guardians By Murray Green
Camrose County named several representatives as fire guardians, those who can issue fire permits, at the regular meeting on March 12. Councillor Jack Lyle moved “That pursuant to Section 4 of the Forest and Prairie Protection Act, the following persons be appointed as fire guard-
ians for Camrose County for 2019.” That includes the manager of agricultural services, manager of protective services, assistant agricultural fieldman, seed plant manager, fire chiefs of the fire departments within the County, county administrator and councillors. Every year council must appoint fire guardians for Camrose County. A fire
guardian is defined as anyone who has the responsibility of issuing a fire permit for the disposal of burnable debris by open fire. Fire guardians are responsible to put conditions, such as having suitable equipment to control the fire on site, on the fire permits that are issued. With the implementation of the on-line fire permit in 2017, Camrose Coun-
ty Fire Guardians rarely issue paper copy fire permits. However, if paper copy fire permits are issued, they must be submitted to the protective services department as soon as possible. “The on-line permits have been working really well. This is the third year we have been on-line and we know instantly if a permit has been issued. If a hard copy is issued, then that per-
son that issues it has to get a hold of us to let us know,” said Mike Kuzio, manager of protective services. Each year before April 1 the council of a municipal district shall appoint, for a term not exceeding one year with effect from the beginning of April, a sufficient number of fire guardians to enforce this act within the boundaries of the municipal district.

Canadian budget positive for dairy farmers By Murray Green
While a lot of people are not happy with the Canadian budget that was sent down recently, it was positive for dairy farmers. Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) welcomed Budget 2019, which contains funding of $3.9 billion to compensate Canada’s dairy, poultry and egg sectors for the impact
of concessions granted in the recent Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). About $2.15 billion would be available for income losses and another $1.5 billion for a Quota Value Guarantee Program.
“The federal government recognizes the impact of trade agreements on our sector and is following through on its commitment to support our domestic dairy industry,” said Pierre Lampron, DFC’s president of the board of directors. The combined impact of concessions granted under CETA, CPTPP,
and the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) represent annual losses of 8.4 per cent of Canada’s milk production. “We also welcome the government’s commitment to continue the dialogue on the future impact of CUSMA on our sector,” added Lampron. Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) is the national
policy, lobbying and promotional organization representing Canada’s farmers. DFC strives to create stable conditions for the Canadian dairy sector, today and in the future. It works to maintain policies that foster the viability of Canadian dairy farming and promote dairy products and their health benefits.

Wheat sector increases export market share By Murray Green
Canadian grain growers exported about 20.5 million tonnes of wheat in 2017 and $21 billion in exports sales. Marie-Claude Bibeau, Canadian Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food invested up to $6.2 million to help the Canadian International Grains Institute (Cigi) expand the market for Canadian wheat through technical support, market research, employee exchanges and customized training for customers and commercial partners in over 50 countries. “The Canadian International Grains Institute has been successful in their sustained efforts to ensure buyers here and abroad have a better knowledge and trust in Canadian wheat quality. This investment demonstrates that the Government of Canada is committed to supporting the grains sector, improving their competitiveness and fostering continued economic growth for our middleclass and long-term prosperity for all Canadians,” said Bibeau. This project, funded through the AgriMarketing Program, under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, will enable Cigi to strengthen relations with buyers and prevent future market access issues, while expanding existing markets and developing new opportunities around the world. Minister Bibeau is meeting with farmers, processors and industry leaders, as well as
participate in local agricultural events, to highlight strategic federal agricultural investments and programs and how they will help to build an even stronger and more innovative sector for Canada. “The Government of Canada knows how valuable the Canadian International Grains Institute’s work is for the cereal grains sector. This funding will enable Cigi to reinforce buyers’ confidence in Canadian wheat quality to develop existing and new markets, spurring job creation and economy expansion,” said RobertFalcon Ouellette and Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre. “The Government of Canada has been a key contributor to Cigi’s success throughout its 47-year history. Over the next three years, this funding from the Canadian Agricultural Partnership program will be used by Cigi to maintain confidence in Canadian wheat quality in international markets, improve customer knowledge of the performance and functionality of Canadian wheat, and gather and share information on customers’ end-use requirements with the Canadian value chain,” said JoAnne Buth, CEO, Canadian International Grains Institute. The Canadian Agricultural Partnership is a five-year, $3 billion investment.

Develop sustainable practices By Murray Green
Agriculture producers know the importance of keeping the land, water and air healthy to sustain their farms from one generation to the next. The Government of Canada is investing in research that will help farmers and livestock producers have a beneficial impact on the environment, while continuing to grow the economy. Canadian Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lawrence MacAulay, announced support for three cutting-edge projects by researchers at the University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) College of Agriculture and Bioresources, School of Environment and Sustainability and the Global Institute for Water Security, to help the agri-
culture sector reduce its environmental footprint. These projects are being supported with a $3.4 million investment through the Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program (AGGP), to conduct research into greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation practices and technologies that can be adopted on the farm. Studies through this funding include researchers looking at different pasture management practices, and testing different mixtures of forage plants, that would reduce the amount of GHG’s released into the air. Another study will help farmers decide on the best options for planting shelterbelts, including both farmyard and field shelterbelts, to reduce GHG emissions. Researchers are also looking at ways to reduce
GHG released from water storage reservoirs, as part of an overall on-farm water management plan. “Canadian farmers are great stewards of the land and the environment. These new investments, through the Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program, are part of the government’s commitment to addressing climate change and ensuring our farmers are world leaders in the use and development of clean and sustainable technologies and processes,” said MacAulay. “Science and innovation are the greatest allies in helping the agricultural industry meet the challenges of climate change. Climate change and sustainability are key priorities for the Government of Canada, and these projects
I think it started with the sweater. It was knitted pale pink, with two brown antlers hanging off the hood, framing little black eyes and a brown moose nose. Our daughter was spending the day with family, and her auntie and uncle had entertained her throughout the car ride, playing with those antlers to make her giggle nonstop while they sang the “Pink Panther” theme song. Ever since then, she’s had a “thing” for moose. And apparently pink feline theme songs. Her favourite stocking stuffer this year was a moose figurine and it’s come with us everywhere from church services to restaurants. We made hand-painted moose gift tags for Christmas (as opposed to reindeer) and added a new moose ornament to our growing tree repertoire. Nearly every night she asks to read one of her two moose books – Franklin’s New Friend or a Look-and-Find book that has one page portraying a single purple moose, standing in the forest amongst the foxes and the skunks. But the best part is when she tries to imitate a moose call – a talent I can credit to my husband, the hunter. “Sweetie,” he asks with excited anticipation, “What does a moose say?” My little nearly-two year old throws back her head, purses her lips and nasals her voice with a most passionate, “Mooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwws.” It’s endearing, really. Like if a sick cow was to get run over by a truck. While blowing a broken horn. In the cold. And while I secretly wonder what she’ll think when she realizes that the meat in her spaghetti dish is actually moose burger, or that the leg Odie likes to drag around the yard was once one of her antlered friends, I can’t help but appreciate this little animal crush. What better creature for a little Albertan girl to get excited about than these tall, heavy-weighted mammals associated with rural Canada? They’re a part of her life as much as the cows out back, the chickens in the hen house, or the deer that continue to tempt their fate down the streets of our nearby town. And I can’t wait until she sees a real moose, up close and in the wild. Only a few years ago, we had been sitting in my in-law’s living room overlooking the back slough, as we looked up and saw a bull and his cow crossing right alongside the porch. They were so close we could see the matted dark fur and the bull’s dewlap, swinging from beneath his chin as they sauntered on. It was a moose sighting at its finest. But for now, in the evening, while I finish wiping off the kitchen counter and my husband has our little girl freshly bathed and pj’d on the bed, asking for her “Moosh book, pwease,” I put down the cloth and quickly sneak in to cuddle on her other side. There’s no way this mama is missing her moose call. with the University of Saskatchewan will help farmers adopt sustainable practices that will strengthen their businesses and protect the planet,” said Ralph Goodale, Canadian Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. “As a world leader in agricultural research for more than a century, the University of Saskatchewan is at the forefront of innovative research aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture, while keeping our farms economically viable and improving the quality and availability of highquality food and products for everyone. These investments enable our scientists to help find ways to capture more carbon dioxide and further reduce other greenhouse gas emissions–such
as nitrous oxide and methane–produced in farming. And they are using novel technologies–such as satellite mapping and sensors to do it,” said Mary Buhr, dean of the U of S College of Agriculture and BioResources. The $27 million AGGP covers four priority areas of research: livestock systems, cropping systems, agricultural water use efficiency, and agro-forestry, in partnership with universities and conservation groups. AGGP investments support the work of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases, which brings together 49 countries to find ways to grow more food without growing greenhouse gas emissions.

Time to make garden growing checklist By Murray Green
Now that March is here, it is time to plan for your growing. It is time to create a horticulture checklist and Robert Spencer, commercial horticulture specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre, has some good advice. Monitor crown health on strawberries and plan course of action if damage is evident. Plan plant pickup, field planting layout, and planting labour. Plan to thin floricane raspberries and remove spent floricanes. Mow right to ground and remove last year’s growth from primocane raspberries. Using row covers will increase earliness and yield of primocane raspberries. Set aside time to make first application of nitrogen at month’s end after snow melt and second application in mid-May. Prune or thin out your saskatoon berries by taking out dead, diseased, lowspreading branches before buds appear. If regenerating or renovating entire orchard, mow entire orchard. When planning new fields, which will eventually be mechanically harvested consider the lay of land – whether it is sloped or flat. You want the rows in line with prevailing winds or shelterbelts. Do not mix varieties, keep saskatoon berries and chokecherries separated. Use extra row spacing for machine harvesting and ensure sufficient headland area for turning harvesters around. Choose varieties that ripen uniformly. Think about irrigation set up, proximity to water, or delivery. Some vegetable transplants may be started this month, but only those that require six or more weeks to grow. Don’t get ahead of yourself. If you are thinking of expanding, take a look at existing product market outlets for each crop. Are they adequate, or should you make adjustments? Review pricing and determine if anything has changed to allow for price adjustments. If and when soil conditions permit it, carry out soil sampling, if not already done in fall. Calcium, magnesium, sulphur, sodium are important components, in addition to main macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Prepare rough summer schedule for planting, spraying and irrigation.

Peas, lentils no longer register exempt By Murray Green
The Canadian Grain Commission is changing the way peas and lentils are graded, to ensure that this country continues to provide buyers with a superior product. Starting Aug. 1, only registered varieties of peas and lentils will be eligible for No. 1 Canada, the highest grade available for Canadian crops. “The Canadian Grain Commission is committed to working with all stakeholders, to implement flexible solutions that maximize returns for producers and help grow the Canadian grain industry, while maintaining the integrity of Canada’s quality assurance system,” said Patti Miller, chief commissioner Canadian Grain Commission. In previous years, the Canadian Grain Commission exempted peas and lentils from variety registration requirements to allow producers to take advantage of new varieties that were not yet registered. The majority of the peas and lentils grown in Canada have now completed the variety registration process and exemption is no longer necessary. By growing registered varieties, farmers ensure that Canada maintains a competitive advantage by producing high quality crops with consistent enduse properties. The Canada Grain Act requires any deliveries of unregistered varieties to be assigned the lowest grade available for that crop, except where exempted by order of the Canadian Grain Commission. The commission consulted with sector stakeholders, through the Western and Eastern Standards Committees, prior to implementing these changes. All varieties of peas and lentils (both registered and unregistered), delivered on or before July 31, will be eligible for No. 1 Canada–the highest grade established by regulation. Beginning Aug. 1, unregistered varieties of peas and lentils will only be eligible for No. 3 Canada, the lowest grade established by regulation.

Rural residents assist in finding dangerous driver By Lori Larsen
Some rural Camrose County residents assisted the Camrose RCMP in an investigation of a suspicious vehicle that eventually led to a dangerous incident involving the suspect of a stolen vehicle ramming the patrol truck, March 4. Camrose RCMP Corporal Mark Cusack commended the quick thinking and safe response of rural residents who noted the suspicious vehicle and immediately contacted the RCMP. “The people who called in the complaints were very diligent in what they did,” remarked Cusack. “They didn’t interact with anyone, they safely took down the information and passed it on to us to deal with and we are thankful to both the complainants for being so aware of what was going on,
obtaining as much information as they safely could, then forwarding it to us in a very timely manner.” Upon receipt of the first complaint of a suspicious vehicle, Camrose RCMP members were dispatched to the area to investigate information provided to them by the complainant that included a description of the suspect vehicle and partial license plate number. “Members (Camrose RCMP) patrolled the area in the County and were able to quickly locate a vehicle that fit the description of the vehicle and partial license plate given,” explained Corporal Cusack. “The members attempted to stop the suspect vehicle, but it proceeded to leave the area.” Approximately 15 minutes later, the RCMP
member located the suspect vehicle in another rural area where it was situated down a gravel, dead-end road. While waiting for backup to arrive, the officer on scene blocked the exit of the dead end road with the police vehicle. “The suspect vehicle, which was identified as being a stolen vehicle, ended up coming back down the gravel road towards the police vehicle at a high rate of speed and rammed the police vehicle,” said Cusack. Due to quick thinking and training, the RCMP officer was able to avoid injury and officers began a pursuit of the operator of the stolen vehicle for committing an assault on a police officer by ramming the police vehicle with the suspect vehicle. The pursuit continued
out onto Highway 21 and upon observation by the RCMP members of erratic and dangerous driving of the operator of the stolen vehicle, a decision was made to discontinue the pursuit. “There was a definite danger to the public,” remarked Cusack. The suspect vehicle was located approximately one hour later, abandoned in another rural area of Camrose. “It was another conscientious rural resident who observed the suspicious vehicle and called it into the RCMP,” said Cusack. “Police work is inherently dangerous at times. These situations are highly volatile and unpredictable.” Cusack added that the complainants in both situations did exactly what they should do to assist the police
in these investigations, by remaining safe, responding in a timely manner and obtaining as much information about the suspect(s) and vehicle as possible without confronting the suspects. Cusack commented that the quick action and use of proper training by the RCMP members resulted in no injuries to officers or members of the public. The RCMP are asking anyone who may have information regarding this incident to contact either the Camrose RCMP detachment at 780-672-3341 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, to contact Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.tipsubmit.com.

County preparing for summer dust control applications By Murray Green
Camrose County is planning to get a handle on dust control problems this summer. They have hired Dust Control to provide services for 2019. “I move that Camrose County council award Dust Control Services the contract to provide Camrose County with the calcium chloride product and the application at various road locations throughout Camrose,” motioned councillor Trevor Miller. It will cost the County about $43,706 plus GST, with funding to come from the 2019 operating budget. Two other companies also bid on the contract to provide services. “As part of the request for quote (RFQ), it is required that the contractor supply Camrose County a complete chemical analy-
Trevor Miller
sis of the material specifications, which includes the percentage of dust suppressant. The product that is applied to the road is a solution made up of water, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, sodium chloride, and potassium chloride,” explained Jeri Smith, construction and design coordinator. Public works requested that the solution be a minimum 32 per cent solution, which includes cal-
cium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium chloride. All three companies met those standards. Dust Control offered the lowest price and is a local company. Public works indicated that the Kortech products might perform better as they are more concentrated, but the overall price provided by Dust Control was lower. “We recommend Kortech because of the concentration, but we have Dust Control Services as an alternative,” added Smith. Councillor Jack Lyle asked if the little more concentration makes a difference and it was stated that it wasn’t much of a difference. “Dust Control Services have increased their concentration and applied it twice at times last year

Call Jim Olson
780-679-7316 to provide better service,” shared Miller. Councillor Cindy Trautman added that extra jobs from residents should be handled sooner by a local company. Quotations submitted were to include a complete chemical analysis of the material specifications including specific gravity and percentage of calcium chloride. The price submitted was to include on site supervision, delivery and application. Application must be by proportionate metering with calibrated controls to the satisfaction
of the manager of public works. All controls must be operated in the interest of safety and operated from the cab of the unit. A mechanical device must be used for a uniform rate of application. The application will be made towards the end of May and the beginning of June with weather and site conditions permitting. The contractor agreed to provide dust control applications to individual locations as directed by manger of public works or his designate at the per litre unit rate.

Canada invests in agriculture sector By Murray Green
Canada’s agriculture and agri-food system contributes more than $114 billion to our gross domestic product, and provides safe, nutritious and sustainable food for the world, while creating well-paying jobs. The sector is working hard to find innovative approaches to respond to growing domestic and global demand, while addressing emerging challenges and maintaining its environmental sustainability. While celebrating Canada’s Agriculture Day with farmers, ranchers, food processors, industry leaders and youth in Ottawa, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lawrence MacAulay announced the new Canadian Agricultural Strategic Priorities Program (CASPP), an investment of $50.3 million over five years. Funding available through this program will help facilitate the sector’s ability to address emerging issues and capitalize on opportunities. “Canada’s agricultural sector is strong and growing. Our farmers know that to stay competitive and on the cutting edge, we need to continue to adapt and develop new and innovative approaches to agriculture. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting the sector to find new ways to respond to new and emerging issues, and seize new market opportunities,” said MacAulay. The CASPP focuses on four priority areas: adoption of new technology; environmental sustainability; strategic development and capacity building; and, emerging issues. Examples of potential projects could include those addressing artificial intelligence technology, tools to assess future labour and skills needs, bio-crops, environmentally sustainable farming techniques and strategies to help the sector adapt to changes in consumer preferences. The program also builds on other Government of Canada initiatives to support competitiveness and sustainability in the agricultural sector. These include the $3 billion, fiveyear Canadian Agricultural Partnership, $70 million announced in Budget 2018 to support agricultural discoveries in science and innovation to address climate change and soil and water conservation, the $25 million Agricultural Clean Technologies

Killam RCMP charge two men for theft By Murray Green
Killam and Viking RCMP responded to a break and enter in progress at an oil field site in Flagstaff County at 6:53 p.m. on March 6. Two males were arrested following a search in an open field for a white Dodge truck. The arrest would not have been possible without the assistance of three Flagstaff County people. A male from Red Deer was charged with three counts of Break and Enter to commit, five counts of Mischief over $5,000, one count of Theft over $5,000, one count of Theft under $5,000, two Attempted Thefts, one count of Possessing break-in instruments, one count of Prowling at a dwelling house, five counts of Breaching conditions of his recognizance, one count of Breach of probation order and five counts for trespassing. A male from Grande Prairie was charged with one count of Breaking and Entering with intent to commit an indictable offence, one count of Possessing break-in instruments for the purpose of committing an indictable offence, one count of Trespassing and three counts of Breaching conditions of his recognizance. Both suspects were held for a bail hearing and remanded to custody shortly thereafter. The white Dodge Ram had been the subject of many complaints from Jan. 11 until March 6 for causing damages, stealing fuel and stealing copper wire at four different locations involving oil lease sites and business and residence. Furthermore, the subjects also attempted to steal fuel at a residence and completed the offence of fuel theft at a business. The estimated value of damages caused is between $100,000 and $200,000. Killam RCMP thanked the public for actively being on the lookout for this vehicle and suspicious activity over the past two months. The arrest of these two individuals would not have been possible without all of the public’s tips, calls of suspicious activity and assistance in apprehending them safely.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects and programs, such as those at the Allan Johnstone School, in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

As UCP critic for property and surface rights, I was delighted to have made an announcement on Sunday, March 10, which demonstrated the commitment of the UCP to strengthening the property rights of all Albertans. Many believe property rights is a topic only of concern to those fortunate enough to own significant tracts of land or buildings. It does not. It touches everything from pipelines to cellphone towers and to pruning branches on your neighbour’s tree if they hang into your yard. I cannot stress enough the importance of property rights to every person not just in our province, but also throughout the entire civilized world. Happily, I do not need to, eminent people having performed this task before me. The English philosopher, John Locke, widely regarded as one of the most influential of enlightenment thinkers wrote: ‘Private property, the bedrock institution of capitalism, is essential for the preservation of individual freedom.” Few would equate personal freedom directly to the owning of property. Yet the connection is both direct and inseparable. Sadly, with the passage of time, our society has lost sight of the importance of property rights. Insensibly successive governments, of all stripes, have pared away at these rights. This has invariably been in the form of ministerial regulation rather than bills and acts presented honestly to both the Legislature and the people for approval. These regulations have led to many bizarre and unjust acts against ordinary citizens. The more egregious of the two cited is the situation Bill Nilsson, a farmer in Edmonton, found himself in 1975, a situation that dragged on for 29 years culminating in both his death and his family being awarded $9.1 million in compensation. The purpose of my statement was to introduce eight commitments to be contained in a new Alberta Property Rights Protection Act that will further entrench the right not to be deprived of enjoyment or use of property without due process of law. This legislation will include a proposed amendment to the constitution to enshrine property rights. This would require a referendum of Albertans planned for the fall of 2021; amending the Land Titles Act to bar adverse possession claims, so that Alberta is no longer the only province that allows squatters to make legal claims to someone else’s property; following the lead of many developed countries by treating government regulation in the same way as government expropriation for the purposes of compensation; preserving the right of governments to expropriate and regulate for the public good, while ensuring that government regulation is treated in a similar fashion to government expropriation when it comes to compensation for private property owners. The UCP plan to protect property rights also includes tasking a Legislature committee with reviewing relevant legislation and government policies to determine whether changes are needed to ensure compliance with property rights; ensuring government departments and agencies, boards and commissions account for any potential costs and/or loss of value to private property in new regulatory proposals; creating a property and farmer’s rights advocate office out of the existing two offices to reduce duplication of roles and operations, and to provide more focused support for Albertans, particularly in rural areas. I am conscious of sounding somewhat dramatic as I write these words. However, my investigation into this topic on behalf of Albertans informs me that a very real problem exists which will only get worse if the responsible representatives of the people fail to take action. Having attended a number of meetings of the Alberta Surface Rights Federation, and other concerned groups; I know the depth of frustration that exists. Their issues are, in fact, everyone’s issues. I am delighted that my party is prepared to address this vital issue and place Alberta as world leader in the protection of property rights and our freedoms.
