That’s the 4-H motto, but a little persistence also helps sometimes. Young Mason Mack of the Benson 4-H Club showed that he had a positive stubborn streak too as he managed to persuade this young steer into the show ring this past summer as part of the club’s annual Achievement Day activities. Agri-news salutes all the 4-H clubs in the district with this month’s special edition.

It was a good year for everything but canola By Norm Park for Agri-news

Everything went well this year, everything other than the canola that is. No records set, but no hearts broken, either. With prices pretty high and stable, it seems as if this past crop year in southeast Saskatchewan spelled a complete turnaround compared with last season’s flood-filled and stunted production record. Even the overall disappointing canola crop that looked fantastic going in but not so great coming off, wasn’t a complete disaster. Modest yields of five to 10

bushels per acre didn’t send hearts aflutter for sure, but then other producers managed to bring in 25 to 30 bushels per acre, which was a pretty decent return on time and investment with current prices. It was all a matter of timing, said Shannon Friesen, crop specialist for the Ministry of Agriculture out of their Weyburn office as she spoke with Agri-news in late October. “Earlier seeded canola crops didn’t do as well,� she said. Those who seeded winter wheat, which a lot of farmers did, seeing as how they couldn’t get on their land earlier in the

year due to the spring floods, came through with some fine quality crops with yields of between 45 and 60 bushels per acre. Lentil production was average across the southeast, said Friesen, as prices stayed below normal in some instances. Soybeans, a relatively new experiment for local farmers, did very well this year in the few fields where they were tried with average yields somewhere between 30 and 50 bushels per acre. “Soybeans need heat and dry conditions after they catch, and they got that this year,� said

Friesen. Quite a bit of flax was sown in this corner of the province too, with results being fairly average. “The average was brought down because some got hit with frost and that downgraded things,� said Friesen. The changes brought to Western Canadian farmers due to the loss of the Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk monopoly for grain handling, transportation and shipping has created a new environment for Saskatchewan producers and they seem to be handling the new era of marketing wheat and barley, said Friesen.

“The farmers are moving with the change. Some are getting it to elevators, others are not being able to get cars so that means a little backup at times, but overall wheat seems to be flowing well.� With dryer conditions heading into winter, Friesen said overall moisture conditions still aren’t bad since there was such a surplus of water from the previous year. Some late fall rain, wet snow and drizzles helped alleviate the problem a bit. Besides the early heat that reduced the canola yields, Friesen said a lot of those particular crops were also

hit by sclerotinia and aster yellows, and fusarium also made an appearance in the southeast this year which all led to a downgrade in yields. Some other crops were destroyed or reduced thanks to hail and wind as well as the aforementioned heat. Friesen said the best advice for farmers now, as they store their grain, and wait for shipping opportunities, is to ensure that the grain is aerated in the bins to prevent spoilage. “If you’re keeping it for awhile, keep checking it regularly and aerate it regularly, you don’t want to lose it now,� said Friesen in conclusion.

Agribition is bigger, better and bolder It’s the 42nd annual edition and as in the past, it continues to grow in size and stature. The Canadian Western Agribition just keeps on growing and it remains Canada’s largest livestock event. Cattle entries are up more than 10 per cent from 2011 and youth entries in events like the Junior Beef Extreme are also up by more than 10 per cent which highlights the strength and depth of young cattle producers in the industry. United States entries have also reached a high since pre-BSE with over eight states bringing cattle from across the American Midwest. “Canadian Western Agribition is known as the best beef show in North America. Increased cattle entries and a resurgence of youth in the cattle industry is something all sectors of agriculture can celebrates,� said Marty Seymour, Agribi-

tion’s CEO. To facilitate the need for improved show and sale space, Agribition has built a new commercial cattle sales arena. This building will feature Canada’s largest show and sale of bison as well as Agribition’s famous bred heifer sale. “We are thrilled to offer this new space to allow exhibitors to show off the best livestock. We are anticipating 2012 livestock sales to be stronger than ever,� said Seymour. Entries are also up by 20 per cent in Agribition’s signature event, Canada’s Premier Select Ranch Horse Competition, and sheep and goat entries are up 37 per cent and seven per cent respectively. International interest is also on the rise. International guest pre-registration is up 30 per cent with buyers travelling to Regina from countries like Argentina, Finland, Russia and China. Agribition will host more

than 800 international guests from about 75 countries this year. The event continues to expand its profile as a multifaceted marketplace for all aspects of the agricultural industry. Trade show space has broken a new record with close to 500 exhibitors taking part in this year’s event. The trade show will feature three main areas: Agri-Business Marketplace, Everyday Living Marketplace and Machinery Mall. Additional features include the new Grain Expo on Nov. 20 and 21. To top it off, the Canadian Cowboys’ Association Finals Rodeo has also seen an increase in pre-event ticket sales with expectations that the attendance will surpass last year’s recordsetting 20,000. All the activities begin Nov. 19 and will continue through to Nov. 24 in Regina. More information is available at www.agribition.com

Hay heading eastward The HayEast2012 program just got a little stronger. The project that is seeing Western Canadian hay being shipped to drought stricken cattle producers in Eastern Canada received a boost recently from the federal government and the government of Ontario. The move will probably generate over $5 million to transport donated hay, a lot of it from Saskatchewan, to the east. HayEast 2012 follows up on the HayWest program in 2002 that saw the reverse happen ... when Eastern Canadian farmers shipped hay and forage west to ease the pain of Western Canadian ranchers who were trying to feed their herds. The two governments committed $500,000 to help ease the transportation costs for the donated hay that is being trucked and shipped by rail. They said they will also match cash donations up to $2.5 million in total. Ontario ranchers have indicated they will need up to 60,000 bales of hay to sustain current livestock numbers and keep them through the winter. Thousands of bales have already been shipped east with the first load arriving in mid-October. The signs are currently pointing toward pretty broad support for the program from the western side of the country and corporate donations from companies such as Agrium ($20,000) and Farm Credit Canada ($50,000) have helped spur the movement. With the additional commitment from the two governments ,which will be aimed at transportation efforts, the project is expected to gain even more momentum heading into the second half of November. Donations do the HayEast 2012 program may be made at any Scotiabank branch. Other details regarding the movement can be accessed at www.hayeast2012.com

Saluting 4-H Month 4-H approaching 100 with exciting ideas The 4-H movement is fast approaching its 100th anniversary, which will be celebrated in just two months, with the start of 2013. Plans are in place to make that year a very exciting one for the 4-H program. Rob Black, president of the Canadian 4-H Council, knows how close that launch date is. Part of the 100th anniversary festivities is an exciting E-History website. This will be a customized site rich with history and images. 4-H members will be able to upload photos, video and content onto the site to help celebrate. The website will include a d e d i c a t e d Yo u Tu b e section and it will also include a commemora-

tive 10 minute video. It will be an alternative to a traditional history book. The site will live on as a record of the 100th anniversary and a living site to showcase ongoing history as 4-H moves into the future. The Canadian 4-H Council said they are looking for material from all over the country so that everyone’s club and 4-H experiences are recorded in history. They said they want the website to be dynamic so are looking for materials from both the past and present as well as concepts, images and ideas for tomorrow. “We are looking for pictures, videos, artistic works, stories and anything else that you find,�

they said in a release issued to clubs across the country. 4-H history items of all elements may be submitted to: Canadian

4-H Council, Central Experiment Farm, 960 Carling Avenue Building 26, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0C6. Attention to Ken Lancastle.

The 100th Anniversary E-History Website Committee e-mail address is: klancastle@4h-canada.ca and the 4-H phone

number in Ottawa is 613234-4448. Materials may also be submitted through regional 4-H staff members or a provincial 4-H office.

4-H public speaking program gets a major sponsor The 4-H clubs across Canada announced earlier this year that Farm Credit Canada (FCC) has signed on to become the major sponsor for the 4-H Centennial public speaking program and contest. Public speaking has always been an important element of 4-H program-

ming and education and to celebrate the 100th anniversary of 4-H, FCC said they’ve planned a special public speaking program. 4-H and FCC said they have worked out a list of 22 suggested topics for 4-H members to choose from and further stated the winner in each age category

Recognizing 4-H Month in Saskachewan

at provincial competitions will be awarded $500 from FCC. Speeches will be recorded and the winning entries will be uploaded to 4-H Canada’s website. The winners may also be invited to present their speech at FCC events. The topics that have

been selected include such items as a member’s favourite thing about 4-H, people in agriculture that they look up to, the importance of agriculture, favourite farm jobs, growing up on a farm, exciting 4-H projects, impact of technology on farming or looking forward to the next 20 years.

Saluting 4-H Month 4-H age limit is upped to embrace new concept The change began earlier this fall. 4-H members in Saskatchewan can now retain their membership until the age of 25. The change was made by the Saskatchewan 4-H Council at their general session held in May of this year and put into effect this past month. The change was implemented as part of their Embrace the Future initiative, in an attempt to standardize 4-H age requirements across Canada, to improve recruitment and retention and to smooth transition of 4-Hers from members to leaders. With that target in mind, 4-H Canada recommended that the age range for 4-H members in Canada be six to 25 years. Quebec

was the only province that had members in the 22 to 25 year-old age group. Saskatchewan became the second, followed by Manitoba. The new age grouping of 22 to 25 year olds is called Future Leaders. The name was coined by the Canadian 4-H Council Youth Advisory Committee made up of senior 4-H members from across Canada who were charged with the task of studying the older age group and making recommendations. The Youth Advisory Committee agreed with the concept of Future Leaders, and suggested roles for the new age group could include supporting existing clubs, promoting agriculture and exploring career opportunities and networking.

Matthew Tweedy, former chairman of the Youth Advisory Committee, said that “as the committee members are primarily post-secondary students, we have witnessed first-hand the need for a program to facilitate the teaching of career skills.� 4-H members in this new age category have the options of remaining in their home clubs or forming or joining a Future Leaders Club. The provincial 4-H is piloting the new Future Leaders age group beginning this year to help provide direction to other 4-H organizations in Canada.

4-H Saskatchewan is a project-based youth organization, dedicated to the growth and development of their members, leaders, volunteers and staff using the motto Learn to Do by Doing. Before the age change, the membership age limit in Saskatchewan was 21. The Saskatchewan 4-H Council serves about 3,600 members and more than 1,000 leaders.

Cymri 4-H member on provincial judging team Logan Martinson of the Cymri 4-H Beef Club is one of eight members of the Saskatchewan 4-H judging team that will be competing for a national team title at the Canadian Western Agribition in Regina next week. A total of 36 4-H members participated in the provincial 4-H judging competition in mid-August and the eight first-place winners formed the Saskatchewan team that advanced to the national competition. Joining Logan on the Saskatchewan team are the following members and

Four alternate judges were named in the event one or more of the original team members are unable to compete. The alternative members are: Kyle Ashworth, Lomond; Jamie Kinzie, Saskatoon; Rosalynn Meyer, Ernfold and Shyla Rothwell, Wild Rose. To get to the provincial finals, the young judges had to qualify through one of six regional judging competitions held throughout the province. The provincial competition consisted of a written exam, judging yearling beef bulls, market lambs, poultry, silage and a mystery class (woodworking) plus oral presentations and reasoning for each class.

SOUTHEAST AGRI NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2012

Agribition and Farmfair form partnership The officials in charge of the Canadian Western Agribition which is scheduled to get underway Nov. 19 in Regina, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Farmfair International Show in Edmonton that will take effect in 2013. The effort is being made to collaborate their marketing and promotional activities to attract international buyers to both events. Marty Seymour, CEO of Agribition and Richard Andersen, president and CEO of Northlands, were at the Northlands facility on Nov. 8 to sign the memorandum. “This MOU demonstrates the strong working relationship between Agribition and Farmfair,” said Seymour. “Working together provides a greater opportunity to develop international markets for the betterment of

the industry.” “We believe this is a great opportunity for our shows to work together and it sets the stage for future opportunities,” said Andersen. “Through collaboration, we’re building a larger contingent of international buyers, creating commerce and making it more attractive for exhibitors to attend both events.” In 2013, CWA in Regina will take place Nov. 11 to 16 and Farmfair International in Edmonton, is scheduled between Nov. 3 and 10. With both events showcasing top quality livestock and taking place so closely together, there is a natural collaboration opportunity. The main objective of the move is to co-operate in international marketing and promotion as well as enhance a joint inbound buyers program for international buyers

and representatives who have an interest in attending both shows. Agribition is the largest livestock show in Canada and it is anchored by beef cattle

while also featuring shows and sales of horses, bison, sheep, goats as well as showcasing extensive agricultural products and agribusiness trade shows.

Farmfair has been an integral part of the Alberta scene for 39 years and last year boasted an attendance of 93,000 guests at the Edmonton Expo Centre. They also

feature about 17 beef breeds as well as equine events and other competitions just like Agribition with its rodeo and other features such as fashion shows and demonstrations.

Saskatchewan to host summit The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture will be hosting a summit in Regina on Feb. 5 and 6 next year to generate ideas on how to improve public perception of the agriculture industry and promote its benefits. “Agriculture is a vital part of our province and will be essential to our future growth,” said Lyle Stewart, the province’s agriculture minister. “Our industry has a great story to tell and this summit will generate ideas on how to better tell that story and dispel misconcep-

tions about agriculture.” Participants in the summit will include government representatives, industry leaders, producers, communicators and other partners involved in agriculture. Discussion will include a scan of current agriculture awareness efforts, ways to better educate the public about agriculture and how to encourage people in the industry to tell their positive stories. The summit will result in a more co-ordinated, collaborative strategic plan going forward. Saskatchewan is ideal-

ly suited to host the summit with nearly half of Canada’s arable farmland, 30 per cent of Canada’s agriculture biotech industry, and the second largest beef cattle herd in the country. In addition, in 2011 Saskatchewan became Canada’s top agri-food exporting province, with more than $10 billion worth of agri-food exports. The Saskatchewan government has made agriculture awareness a priority by being the first provincial government to sign on to the Agriculture More Than Ever initiative. “This province has be-

come a hub of agricultural innovation and research and an economic leader, all due to the hard work of farmers and ranchers,” Stewart said. “Saskatchewan is growing and agriculture contributes to a better quality of life for everyone. This summit will bring our industry together to help deliver that message.” The summit will be followed by annual updates for participants to share experiences, adjust messages and directions, note accomplishments and further discuss agriculture awareness.
