Itʼs an ʻall in the familyʼ fire department You know how there is always that picture that you meant to take but didnʼt? Well Dawn Minne decided it was time to take this one of her family of firefighters and wanna-bes. Pictured from left: Ron Minne (husband/father/grandpa), Tyson Minne (son), Joey and Jase Spence (grandsons), Carson Spence (in-law) and Marlys Minne (daughter). Dawn says Joey and Jase are crazy about the fire truck. She jokes that she sometimes thinks they think it is theirs! Joey is wearing his personalized fire outfit that Grandma Dawn made him.

Odds & Ends Attention: All little (and big) goblins and ghosts, you are invited to tour the “Dead & Breakfast” (Country Garden Inn Bed & Breakfast) for a “Fractured Fairy Tale” tour on October 29, 30 and 31. Every year, for many years, Jim and Peggy Sanders and helpers open up their transformed Bed and Breakfast to everyone. It is their way of community spirit and generosity. Each visitor receives yummy treats and a tour of the “haunted house”. There will be a silver collection this year with all money going to the Curling Club project. A big shout out to Peg, Jim and company for creating so much fun for all and providing an opportunity to raise some funds for a great cause! • • • Congratulations to Jenn More who got her first professional hockey goal on September 28. Jenn is in Switzerland and plays hockey in the Swiss Pro Women’s Hockey League. Her team is called Ev Bomo Thun. Jenn’s first goal was in the first game played in Reinach, Switzerland. She said they had nine skaters and a goalie and it was a big adjustment for her lungs after not playing for a few months. They won the game 6-0 and Jenn also posted two assists. Way to go, Jenn! • • • So the 2015 election is over and Canada has a Liberal majority. Larry Maguire was re-elected for Brandon-Souris and will be in an opposition position. He says, “I was in opposition during my time as an MLA in the Manitoba Legislature and I know what it takes to work with people to get results and that’s what I plan to do for BrandonSouris in working with the new Liberal government.” Conservative Leader Stephen Harper announced he’ll be stepping down as party leader following the defeat. • • • Are you interested in learning to play an instrument, being part of a community band or community choir? There will be an Information/ Sign-up Session about a Deloraine Community Band and Deloraine Community Choir on Monday, October 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the Music Room at Deloraine School. Be sure to check it out. • • • I just read some good news about the winter forecast from AccuWeather: “El Nino to Promote One of the Warmest Winters on Record” What’s in store for us? AccuWeather says dry, mild conditions will dominate the season in the Prairies as the polar jet stream gets displaced farther to the north. This pattern will greatly limit the amount and duration of Arctic air masses that normally impact the region. Average temperatures could be as much as 3°C (5.5°F) above normal this winter in cities such as Edmonton, Calgary, and Regina. Significant snowfall events will be few and far between across the region as the primary storm track will generally remain farther south across the central and southern US. • • • Trivia anyone? Hope Floats - Friends Fighting Cancer is hosting a Trivia Night on Saturday, October 24 at the Deloraine Legion. Call your friends and head on over - it’s a fun evening and you won’t believe the trivia that’s just floating around in your head. Most people think they don’t know much, but it’s quite the opposite. In fact those who think that way often answer the most questions. So don’t be shy - come out and support a great cause.

Questions about canola meal? submtited by Canola Council of Canada (CCC) The updated “Canola Meal Feeding Guide” should be your go-to resource. October 15, 2015 – As livestock nutritionists expand their ration formulation options to develop the best rations possible based on current research, many may have questions about canola meal as a protein ingredient. These questions may include: • What is the nutrient profile of canola meal? • What is the recommended inclusion level for different species? • How does the protein degradation of canola meal in the rumen impact milk production? The answers to these questions, and more, can be found in the 5th edition of the “Canola Meal Feeding Guide,” published by the Canola Council of Canada (CCC). Last updated in 2009, this comprehensive resource for nutritionists was recently updated to provide current information on feeding canola meal to different livestock species and represents the latest findings from recent industry research studies. Copies of the feed guide are available as a pdf online. Printed copies will be available at trade shows and by request. The Canola Meal Feeding Guide is just one of many resources available at the newly revamped Canolamazing.c

om. A one-stop, go-to resource for anyone with questions about canola meal and its applications in livestock feed, the website includes recent research, a dairy feed calculator for protein ingredient options and canola feeding information for multiple livestock species. Canola meal is a coproduct of the canola oil crushing process, and is approximately 36 percent crude protein with a considerable portion of that protein bypassing the rumen — as high or higher than many other common protein sources. Visit Canolamazing.com to learn more. The CCC is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. Keep it Coming 2025 is the strategic plan to ensure the canola industry’s continued growth, demand, stability and success – achieving 52 bushels per acre to meet global market demand of 26 million metric tonnes by the year 2025.

Canada’s largest indoor farm show gives back Manitoba Ag Days Inc. is pleased to announce their Community Giving Program. Manitoba Ag Days is a three day agricultural show bringing together all levels of the industry and highlighting the newest products and innovations. 500+ exhibitors and 50,000+ patrons gather in Brandon every January to take in Canada’s largest indoor farm show. Branded as 100% Pure Farm, the organization has taken it one step further by launching the Manitoba Ag Days Community Giving Program. “As a not for profit organization we want to continue to positively impact the lives of our exhibitors and patrons”, stated Dave Laudin, board chair. In the past, Manitoba Ag Days has supported the educational component with a number of scholarships available through the University of Manitoba, Assiniboine Community College, and the Manitoba chapter for Agriculture in the Classroom. “The educational component is still very important to our organization and we will continue to support our youth in the industry. We are now taking our commitment to agriculture one step further and have added a Community Improvement category. We want to share some of the show’s success with the individuals who make it successful by allowing communities

and organizations the opportunity to apply for funds to help support valuable projects and initiatives in the heart of our agriculture industry,” said Laudin. In 2013, the show started the 50/50 raffle which has raised over $34,000 in the last two years. Proceeds from the raffle have directly gone to organizations such as STARS Air Ambulance, 4-H Manitoba, Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup, and to the Manitoba Rural and Support Services. The community improvement category is made up of Capital and Upgrade Projects, Agriculture and Heritage and Safety and Emergency Services. “As a Board, we felt these were three areas that are necessary for rural communities to continue to grow and thrive,” identified Laudin. If your community has projects such as playgrounds, renovations to recreation facility, emergency services needing new equipment or an annual fair or event that need supports, please apply. For further details, please visit www.agdays.com. Over the next six weeks, organizations throughout the prairies will have an opportunity to apply for the proceeds raised from the 50/50 funds. Interested candidates for both categories (Education and C o m m u n i t y Improvement) can visit www.agdays.com for further information on the application process. “Over the last 10 years approximately $200,000 has been given to a number of different organizations and individuals and we look forward to further growing that value! We will continue to pay it forward in agriculture,” stated Laudin.

Farmlink Marketing by Marvin Mills What does the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) deal mean for Western Canadian grain and oilseed farm operations? It is being touted as the most comprehensive trade agreement in the world. There is no doubt the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will deepen Canada’s trade ties in the Asia-Pacific region and will add opportunities with NAFTA partners. The deal includes 12 countries (Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam), collectively a market of nearly 800 million people and a GDP of $28.5 trillion. With the new partnership Canada has now concluded free trade agreements with 51 countries, with access to 60 percent of the world’s economy. The agreement has a number of facets, but the true winner in this deal is canola. In Vietnam, tariffs of 5 percent will be eliminated within five years.

The most significant agreement was the elimination of Japanese tariffs on canola oil of up to 13.20 yen/kg also within five years. Japan has been taking an average of 2.250 million tonnes of Canada’s canola per year over the last five years. They are the second largest export market for Canadian canola, however, the 15 percent tariff on canola oil has discouraged Canadian canola oil exports. As canola oil tariffs are eliminated, it’s expected that they will continue crushing 2.2 to 2.3 million tonnes of canola seed per year from Canada and we will also begin exporting canola oil. The volume of potential exports in unknown, but it will undoubtedly be higher than current volumes. In respect to barley, feed barley in Japan will now be duty-free and quota-free upon entry into force. Food and feed barley moving into Japan previously fell under a quota system with tariff costs. Japan imported an average of 355,000 tonnes from Canada per year over the last five years, with the majority being feed barley. Japan is the largest buyer of Canadian feed barley and the sec-

ond largest overall export destination behind China, who mainly import Canadian malt barley. The mark-ups applied to the price of food barley by Japan will be reduced by 45 percent within eight years. Canada will also have access to a TPP-wide quota for food barley which starts at 25,000 tonnes and grows to 65,000 tonnes within eight years. Although the quantity is not remarkable, it is a start at improving market

access. Feed wheat to Japan will also become dutyfree, quota-free upon entry into force. Vietnam, another important wheat market, will have tariffs of up to 5 percent on all wheat eliminated upon entry into force. Any deal that reduces or eliminate tariffs and increase access for Canada, generally puts NOW THAT’S A LOAD - Jagger McMechan went pumpkin more money in grain and shopping at Dustin Vandoorneʼs pumpkin shop and he oilseed farmer balance went home with a load!
