Plugged drainage outlets have led to overland flooding, even if most major rivers have yet to spill their banks BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

ultiple municipalities are fighting overland flooding, even as flood outlooks in many areas have decreased from initial projections. The problem is widespread, with five states of local emergency declared. Swan River declared an emergency when ice jamming caused the river to rise, threatening the town. The municipalities of Dufferin, Grey, La Broquerie and Two Borders faced similar challenges. In Carman, ice along the Boyne River and its diversion around the community have caused some of the worst flooding in decades. Carman Mayor Bob Mitchell said flooding has affected as many as 400 people and flooded about 40 basements. Schools were closed April 3 due to flood conditions. He said about 150 volunteers turned out April 2 to sandbag, See FLOODING on page 7 »

Nebraska researchers say grazing, even at excess rates, isn’t a major contributor to soil compaction

Grain Markets Weather Vane Classifieds Sudoku

t makes sense that a 1,200pound cow would place quite a lot of pressure on the ground on which it walks. But a new study shows that even these heavy animals can’t do much to compact common soils — if they’re grazed responsibly. Those are the results of a 16-year-long study, established in 1997 by Terr y Klopfenstein, a professor of animal science at the Un i ve r s i t y o f Ne b ra s k a Lincoln and carried on by soil scientist Humberto Blanco. The study was examining soil ecosystems and how changes in soil properties affected subsequent corn and soybean yields. “We did not see any negative effects of grazing resid u e s o n s o i l p ro p e r t i e s except compaction,” Blanco said. “Compaction increased with grazing as expected, but it was not high enough to reduce yields. The level of compaction was too small to adversely affect corn or soybean yield.”

Researchers found that grazing crop residue could actually improve certain soil properties and that compaction concerns were overblown. PHOTO: UN-LINCOLN/MARY DREWNOSKI

This is good news, Blanco said, especially as the team performed a “worst-case scenario” in their springtime condition with more than usual cattle on the field. The researchers stocked cattle in cornfields after harvest in the fall and in spring before planting and found soil compaction was only slight. The compaction was slight even with more cattle than what experts would recommend on wet spring soil.

Fall and winter grazing, when the ground was frozen, did not compact soil. “We did not see many negative effects,” Blanco said. Blanco said that it appears grazing cattle on corn residues in the field could have a slightly positive impact on soil quality, such as soil microbial community structure. Compaction was still seen in high-traffic areas like around water and feed sources.

On-farm water collection key to drainage management Other farming practices such as enhancing soil health and better design and maintenance of surface drains can also help BY LORRAINE STEVENSON

“(A real flooding) is a massive economic problem for agriculture that is largely ignored. It is probably the biggest limitation to agriculture in this province.”

Co-operator staff

educing run-off and improving soil health a re t h e b e s t p a t h t o address flooding and excess n u t r i e n t s , a c c o rd i n g t o a University of Manitoba expert on watershed management. These strategies include more collection of surface water before it leaves the farm and adoption of soil management practices that build soil structure and help water infiltrate, says David Lobb, senior research chair with the Watershed Systems Research Program at the University of Manitoba. The program, part of the agriculture faculty’s department of soil science, has overseen a wide range of studies exploring and testing integrated approaches to water management. Their work includes identifying environmental and socio-economic benefits of various farm practices that help both reduce the risk of flooding and protect the quality of surface water. Lobb recently shared a list of best practices that have e m e rg e d f ro m t h e s e m u l tiple studies, which could benefit both farmers and the environment. Collecting sur face water before it leaves the farm ranks near the top of that list. That requires retaining more wetlands in Manitoba’s pothole country and the use of small dams in regions along the escarpment. In the flat country of the Red River Valley it would mean construction of more on-farm ponds into which water flooding the farm could be directed, held, used as required, with the excess released. Collecting sur face water would help address one of agr iculture’s biggest prob-

lems, which is area flooding, said Lobb. This is the gradual buildup of water on farmland every ye a r re s u l t i n g f ro m e x i s t ing drainage systems he says he’ll “politely refer to as suboptimal.” He calls the loss of productivity from flooded farmland occurring each year “the biggest limitation to agriculture in this province.” And it’s not getting nearly the attention it needs, he said. “This is a massive economic problem for agriculture that is largely ignored,” he said. “It is probably the biggest limitation to agriculture in this province.” Meanwhile, studies show collecting and holding water not only gives farmers more control over drainage, but also controls run-off, therefore reducing the phosphorus loading downstream.

“Some have suggested we a l l ow a g r i c u l t u ra l l a n d t o flood. The problem is when you flood ag land it releases phosphorus and the load downstream becomes ele vated,” he said. However, it’s not just fertilized cropland releasing phosphorus, and that’s actually the crux of the matter. Phosphorus comes off all rural land and that also includes municipal practices such as dumping effluent into streams, and the presence of natural vegetation including riparian vegetation on the landscape he said. “It’s a l l re l e a s i n g p h o s phorus,” he said. “It’s not so easy to link it to agricultural practices.” That’s where other practices such as better designed and maintained surface drains, play a role, he said.

“Not an insignificant quantity of nutrients” move downstream produced by all the vegetation contained in this province’s thousands of km of roadside ditches, Lobb said. “Massive vegetation in these ditches is also a problem for the original design to convey water,” he said. “And just mowed down and left, it becomes a nutrient source.” Another BMP on the list calls for enhancement of subsurface drainage. Yes, it’s admittedly controversial to talk about tile drainage as part of the solution, Lobb said, but this isn’t about using tile to send more water downstream. “It’s to encourage drainage to go into the collection ponds.” Other farm practices include enhancing infield

waterways and edge-of-field waterways, using landforms to slow surface run-off. However, topping the BMP list is the use of low-disturbance field equipment, a practice that both improves soil structure and enhances soil health. “This is something we don’t spend enough time talking about,” Lobb said. Healthy soil with high levels of organic matter and biological activity increases infiltration and interception of water, allowing soil to store water rather than wash over it. Soil conservation practices and nutr ient management practices are important, but when it comes to reducing run-off they don’t really have an impact, he said. “Soil conser vation prac tices as we know them currently increase residues on the soil surface and they can also result in a tremendous amount of soil disturbance,” he said. “You may have soil conservation practices which increase tillage erosion which is bad and actually increase nutrient losses. “Focusing on run-off is the most efficient way to deal with water quality problems, flooding and eutrophication.” lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

By the numbers

tatistics Canada says there were just over 13.3 million households in Canada at the time of the 2011 census, a number that has surely grown since then. The numbers crunchers at the agency rather dryly define the term as “... a person or group of persons who occupy the same dwelling and do not have a usual place of residence elseGord Gilmour where in Canada or abroad.” Editor Drilling down a bit further of course, it becomes apparent that most of these are families of one type or another, in all the variation that modern society encompasses. There are traditional nuclear families, childless couples, single-parent households and so forth. In Canada, one thing these households all share is that a number of their most basic foods are produced under the supply management system. In those sectors, there are far fewer families involved in producing this bounty. In the dairy sector, for example, the federal Agriculture Department says just over 11,000 farms shipped milk in 2016. It’s when those numbers are broken down that it becomes truly impressive. Each of these operations furnishes the dairy needs of 1,200 Canadian households. The dairy industry should be very proud of that accomplishment. It produces healthy and wholesome products that nourish the nation. A very similar trend can be seen running throughout the supply-managed sector, with a comparatively small number of farms helping to feed an enormous number of households. Within this efficiency are a few dangers to the sector, however. One is the lack of political clout to advocate on its own behalf. Another is the danger that the intricacies of how the prices of supply-managed products are set will be ignored for political purposes. A recent article by Glacier FarmMedia writer John Greig highlights this danger (Bernier makes supply management an issue, Mar. 30). In this article he reports that Conservative leadership candidate Maxime Bernier is raising the issue in new and unapologetic ways, promising to axe the system if he is elected party leader and then forms government. It is Bernier’s right to hold this position, and it’s important to note that while he wants to do away with supply management, he doesn’t appear to want to see the affected farmers undergo undue hardship. His policy calls for a special levy that would over time build up enough funds to compensate farmers for their earlier purchase of quota. Dairy farmers don’t like the idea much, of course, and in the article they’re seen organizing in opposition, taking out party memberships to vote for others. But Bernier, ironically representing the largely agricultural heartland of Quebec known as Beauce, where supply management is well represented, seems unswayed. He notes more citizens would be positively affected by the move than negatively. He admits there are about 5,000 people in the riding under supply management, but says the loss of about 3,000 votes, based on his results in the last election, will be more than offset by the voters who find their grocery bills lowered. This is a political gamble for Bernier, but also a move that is true to his own world view. Many of his policies are well into the Libertarian end of the political spectrum, and it would be surprising — and inconsistent — to see him support supply management. It brings to mind an old political metaphor that “only Nixon could go to China,” referring to that former president’s role in normalizing relations with Red China in 1972 with a historic state visit. Nixon was an ardent anti-communist and therefore had the luxury of taking this action without the risk of being painted as soft on Communism as someone like Jimmy Carter may have been. Here in Canada some pundits have suggested that, similarly, only the NDP could significantly reform our health-care system because of that party’s perceived role as the stalwart defenders of it. Perhaps only a politician from the Beauce could lead this conversation, for better or for worse. Anyway one looks at it, it’s going to be a challenge for the sector, and one producers can’t afford to ignore. A steady drumbeat calling for change getting louder. In recent months, there have been a spate of opinion articles calling for action; political support also appears to be building. Bernier is simply the most recent — and high-profile — symptom of it. If supply-managed farmers want their system to continue, and are as certain of its benefits as they seem to be, they’re going to need to be especially articulate at spelling out its advantages to all Canadians, not just themselves. These are dangerous times for supply management as the sector tiptoes through a minefield. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

The auctioneer’s song BY ALAN GUEBERT Farm & Food

or someone who rarely attended auctions, my father somehow managed to host or co-host four different auctions in the last 20 or so years of his long life. The first, held in the mid-1990s, was a dispersal sale for the 100 or so Holstein cows, heifers, and calves that had remained on the dairy farm of my youth after Dad had downsized. The sale was a winner because local milk prices had spiked to more than $15 per hundredweight earlier that year and dairy farmers near and far came to buy. If memory serves, the average price for old or young, milking or dry was a pleasantly surprising $800. By the time of his farm equipment sale the following spring, however, milk prices had curdled and dairy farmers were in no mood to buy anything. Most stayed away and a soggy, pre-sale snow added to their inertia. That meant his high-mileage silage wagons, tractors, and 1,000-gal. stainless steel bulk tank were carted off for dimes on the dollar. If the poor prices stung, my father never let on. He thanked everyone for coming and shook every buyer’s hand. A couple of years afterward, the widow of a neighbouring farmer was planning a farm and household auction before moving to town. My father and mother joined her to do the same: sell everything they could not take with them to town. The lovely Catherine and I drove south to witness the event and, we promised each other, not buy a thing. We, after all, didn’t need a butchering kettle, Lincoln arc welder, or a too-heavy-to-lift anvil. As it turned out, we weren’t alone. The locals came to buy cheap or not buy at all. It

OUR HISTORY:

was hard to see items so valued by my parents bought by others who valued them so little. For example, a hand-cranked sausage stuffer, worth its weight in gold the one day a year we needed it, sold for under $10. Bedroom sets, tired, sure, went for less than the price of firewood. A set of jumper cables had to be “thrown in” to a box of cookware to bring, finally, an embarrassing $1. My father saw it all and never once commented, grimaced or looked away. My parents’ fourth and final auction sold the remainder of their modest household after they moved, years later, to a nearby assisted living centre. This auction was smaller, quicker, and grimmer. I didn’t attend because, by all estimates, it would be over in less time than it would take me to drive there. The sale of two items, my father’s 12-gauge Marlin shotgun and his .22-calibre Winchester pump rifle, did silence the small, milling crowd for a few moments. Bidding for both was rapidfire and, together, the cash they brought equalled nearly one-half of the sale’s total receipts. Again, if disappointed by the thin take, my father, now frail and seated on an about-to-besold chair, never let on. He visited with friends, family, and neighbours until the front yard — his front yard — was as empty of the last items of his and Mom’s lives as the long-sold farm was empty of old cows and young children. “It was,” he explained afterward when I telephoned, “just stuff and mostly used-up stuff at that.” Indeed, I said, invoking his favourite word of agreement; it was just stuff. Maybe that’s why the auctioneer’s song never sounded bitter or sad to him: In the end, no amount of “stuff” could ever equal his good health, abiding friends, deep faith, and 89 years to enjoy all.

he Farm-Eze manure spreader advertised in our April 6, 1967 issue offered efficiency, dependability, simplicity, versatility and economy. It was available in 130- and 170-bushel sizes. At the Royal Winter Fair in Brandon, Agriculture Minister Joe Greene announced that there would soon be new federal legislation providing for low-interest loans for the proposed construction of an upgraded Keystone Centre. At the annual meeting of the Manitoba Flying Farmers in Brandon, members expressed concern about proposed new federal regulations which restrict private pilots working as sprayers to within a 25-mile radius from home. At the International Wheat Council in Geneva, members agreed to a one-year extension of the International Wheat Agreement, which provided for exporters to sell within a range of $1.62-1/2 and $2.02-1/2 per bushel. Canadian representatives were pressing for the range to be increased, but the extension was welcomed in order to prevent the possible price reductions if wheat returned to a full free market. At the annual meeting of the Manitoba Farm Bureau, Manitoba Broiler Producers Association president Bert Hall sought and received approval of a motion supporting the establishment of a provincial broilermarketing board. Similar boards had already been set up in six other provinces. MFB delegates also supported an increase in the price for fluid milk. However, they withheld support for a proposed resolution calling on a “march on Ottawa” to protest low milk prices.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Cinderella crop is the child of immigration Early Polish settlers were the first to grow rapeseed, near Shellbrook, Sask., spawning the multibillion-dollar industry of today BY LAURA RANCE Editorial director

uch of the attention focused on newcomers to Canada these days is laced with fear that they will bring change. What is often overlooked however, is that change can bring good things to a country — including economic growth. Canada’s canola story — a stunning success by any measure — is a case in point. It was Polish immigrants who first introduced the early relatives of the yellow-flowered oilseed now known as “Canada’s Cinderella crop” to the Canadian Prairies. A historical timeline posted on the Canola Council of Canada website to commemorate its 50th anniversary credits Fred and Olga Solvoniuk, who started planting Brassica rapa in their garden near Shellbrook, Sask. in the late 1920s. Some say they brought those seeds from Poland in a handkerchief. Others say they borrowed a few seeds from another neighbour. Soon they were handing tobacco cans filled with the seed to their neighbours and acres of what came to be known as “Polish rapeseed” grew. However, it remained not much more than a novelty on Prairie farms because of its limited use. Traditional rapeseed contains high levels of eru-

cic acid, which makes the oil taste bitter, and glucosinolates, which remain in the meal, rendering it unfit for livestock feed. Its commercial uses were limited to industrial lubricants. But the crop was clearly suited to Prairie climate at a time when cropping options were limited to cereals and forages. That attracted the interest of plant breeders, initially during the Second World War when demand surged for industrial oils. Then came the “what if?” moment, thanks to two plant breeders who became known as “the fathers of canola.” B a l d u r St e f a n s s o n , t h e s o n of Icelandic immigrants, was at the University of Manitoba and Keith Downey was with the federal Department of Agriculture in Saskatoon. Both started work in the late 1950s to breed those undesirable traits out of rapeseed. You could characterize their relationship as one of competitive col-

laboration. Both wanted to be the first to achieve that goal, yet they routinely shared germplasm that might help the other one get there. Both have been honoured for their contributions to Canadian agriculture and to Canada. In 1974, Stefansson released the first variety of “double-low rapeseed,” later branded as canola, with a line that had a slightly better yield potential than Downey’s first effort. But not long afterwards, Downey released the first early-maturing variety, which vastly increased the range of acreage that could grow canola on the Prairies. From there, canola’s story has been one of steady growth to where its impact on the Canadian economy is now calculated at $26.7 billion. The industry generates 250,000 jobs and $11.2 billion in wages, in large part due to the development of a domestic processing sector, a newly released economic analysis commissioned by the canola council says.

The crop is grown on most Prairie crop farms, with last year’s 20 million acres creeping ever closer to wheat at 23.2 million acres — a notion that would have seemed incredible even a few short years ago. As the Canola Council of Canada gathered in Winnipeg to celebrate its Golden Anniversary earlier this month, there were lots of plays on the word “golden” to describe its growth since the first varieties were introduced in the mid-1970s. More than anything, it is the story of a value-chain approach. W h e re a s t h e f o r m e r Ca n a d i a n Wheat Board played a key role in value-chain collaboration for the grain sector, the canola council was the first to emulate that for a nonregulated crop. Under its umbrella, plant breeders, processors, farmers and exporters have had to come together to determine the best path forward for the crop even though their perspectives on the best genetics, technologies and market opportunities can be quite different. Fred and Olga had no idea what they were starting when they sowed those first few seeds of hope. Like many others, they were just looking for a better life.

Growing pains for Canada’s agri-food sector The federal budget injects some new life into Canada’s agricultural industries, but not enough funding or clarity BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS Dalhousie University

anada’s agri-food sector has underachieved for too long. The new federal budget gives the sector the opportunity to reimagine its potential. Finally, Ottawa wants to make the agri-food sector a place to invest and foster innovation. The Liberal government aims to increase Canada’s agri-food exports to at least $75 billion annually by 2025 (from $56 billion now) and make our country a trading powerhouse. That target is modest but it’s a start. Innovation was the overarching theme in the budget delivered last week. Some funding was allocated to genomics research and a modest sum goes to research more broadly. And climate change was mentioned as an innovation driver. However, the budget document was unclear on how funding could motivate the agri-food sector to better connect what we produce and what consumers want, domestically and abroad. Such connections need to be achieved despite our most

significant disadvantage – our Nordic climate. Most importantly, developing new products for an increasingly diverse con sumer base is problematic. Mo r e c o m p a n i e s h a v e re c e n t l y s o u g h t i n n ov a tions. Loblaws, Agropur and a few others have had great p ro g re s s w i t h f re s h p ro grams. Ottawa can act as a catalyst to entice more companies to follow suit. The budget also puts important focus on logistics and supply chains. Moving products across the country is our greatest challenge to expanding the agri-food sector. More than $12 billion will be invested in gateways, ports, bridges and roads to make trading more efficient. While this isn’t a great sum, it does demonstrate support for agri-food producers. This follows former prime minister Stephen Harper’s decision in 2005 to invest in the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor initiative. The Conser vatives drew our attention to Canada’s logistical deficiencies and now the Liberals are continuing the work. Connectivity is also impor tant. Following the Canadian Radio-Television

To give Canada a similarly powerful vision, the next instalment of Growing Forward should be worth at least $100 billion over the next several years.

a n d Te l e c o m m u n i c a t i o n Commission (CRTC) recommendation a few months ago, Ottawa intends to invest $500 million to expand r ural broadband connections. This is excellent news for market-savvy farmers. Markets can change in an instant and it’s important to make every trading minute count. The elimination of tariffs – on a long list of ingredients, including cereals and grains, fats and oils, fruits a n d v e g e t a b l e, a n d f o o d preparations and chocolate products – is also good news for the agri-food sector. This

could save Canadian processors more than $200 million a year and strengthen their competitiveness at home and abroad. But the budget was not all good news: • It didn’t suggest any timelines or framework to increase trades between provinces, which is a significant challenge. • There was no mention of the crisis state of supplymanaged sectors, like dairy, poultry and eggs. • It didn’t provide any suggestions on how Ottawa intends to update the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, which is critical for the agri-food sector, particularly in processing. • A n d i t d o e s n’t m e n tion how Ottawa intends to grow the industry for northern communities. The budget document makes Growing Forward 3 a priority for 2018. Typically, we e n d u p w i t h a va g u e f i ve - ye a r p l a n f o r f u t u re programs. And that’s more about growing pains than growing forward. Pa s t f r a m e w o r k s h a v e been supported by a budget rarely exceeding $5 billion. By comparison, the uncompromising 2014 U.S. Farm

Bill frames a massive enterprise worth almost US$1 trillion. There are many things wrong with the Farm Bill, but at least Americans have a vision for their agri-food sector that combines production with consumption. To give Canada a similarly powerful vision, the next instalment of Growing Forward should be worth at least $100 billion over the next several years. The sector needs that kind of commitment if it’s to make a difference in the world. Certainly, some funding help is coming to the innovation and infrastr ucture p o r t f o l i o s. Bu t i f Ot t a w a really wants to make the agri-food sector a leading economic engine, the $75-billion export target should be just a starti n g p o i n t . He f t y g ov e r nment investment is needed, but we should realistically e x p e c t t o re a c h e x p o r t s around $100 billion by 2025. It’s time to reimagine and then realize the potential of Canada’s agri-food sector.

Growers like himself are just days away from beginning to start transplants, and are now out of pocket for seed and other inputs purchased for this year, Wiebe said. “I’ve already spoken to one grower who is contemplating bankruptcy,” he said March 30. “I don’t think that’s going to be in every case but it’s certainly going to set everyone back.” Their predicament includes being left with no market for acres they’d dedicated to supply CPG in 2017, he said. “We’ll be scrambling about what to do with them. We don’t really know at this point. It’s tough to find a replacement on this short notice.” It was, indeed, short notice. Wiebe said news the company was in financial trouble really came out of the blue. “We’ve certainly had some questions sometimes,” he said. “But we just believed that everything was fine.” Wiebe said growers are also owed considerably more than

what court documents indicate as outstanding invoices owed them. “There’s about eight or 10 farmers on that list who haven’t been paid,” he said. He didn’t have precise numbers as of last week but the amount could be about $1.5 million between them. “We’re trying to get accurate information,” he said. “I’ve asked the growers to send me their real numbers and already it’s quite a bit higher than what’s on the list.” In court documents detailed secured creditors are owed a total of just over $6.1 million, with unsecured creditors owed just over a further $3.6 million, for a total of $9,783,270 of liabilities.

What’s owed farmers doesn’t even include their significant investments made over the last couple of years in specialized washing and harvesting equipment, and in farm buildings bought and built to service this business, said Wiebe. “I know a guy who built a greenhouse and spent over $100,000. I know one farmer who’s spent about $70,000 in equipment that’s now useless to him,” he said. “The real cost on the farm is higher. You can always sell some of that equipment, of course, but a lot of this specialized equipment goes down in value pretty quickly. ” The impact of this will be felt well beyond the farm gate too,

At least 10 employees at the processing facility, housed i n t h e Fo o d D e v e l o p m e n t Centre, were also given layoff notices on March 22. Wiebe would not speculate how many acres would have been dedicated to production for CPG overall. Their only recourse may be to sow them to a commodity crop like wheat this spring. “And these were high-value acres,” he said. However, last week intense discussions were also underway about the potential for growers to assume ownership of the company. “We’ve been meeting,” he said, adding he’d like to hear from potential investors in such a venture too. “We would like, if it’s going to be sold off, to keep it going here in Manitoba, if possible,” he said. “If we can have some part in that as growers, in part ownership, we’d be very interested in that.”

However, the window of opportunity for that to happen is exceedingly small, and if things don’t move quickly a whole year of production is at risk of being lost, he added. “Spring is coming very, very quickly.” They’ve relayed their predicament to both provincial Finance Minister Cameron Friesen and Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler and to Candice Bergen (MP PortageLisgar), Wiebe said. When CPG was launched in 2012 it was as the first project in Canada to receive a $2.5-million repayable federal loan under the former Harper government’s Agricultural Innovation Program. The company was recognized as a promising venture for job creation in the processing sector, while creating new markets for Manitobagrown fruits and vegetables. The business has been widely recognized for innovation and has received numerous awards for its product. Reached by email, Kelly Beaulieu, the company’s founder and chief operating officer, said she could not comment further on CPG’s situation, except to repeat her hope that the business will prevail. “The only other thing that the company can say is we are ‘hopeful’ the ‘business’ will be back in operation as soon as possible,” she wrote in an email March 31. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

FLOODING Continued from page 1

while the region’s emergency centre is currently on standby in case of evacuations. Flooding in the community significantly dropped since the diversion was installed about 30 years ago, Mitchell said. “I don’t think they anticipated these types of ice jams. We’ve never seen that,” he said. “In the 35 years I’ve lived here, I have never seen water like this in the sense that it’s in places where you normally don’t see it.” Residential developments and roadways along Provincial Road 245 were under water this week, an area Mitchell says rarely floods. Three sections of the community were without water April 3 due to water line breaks and Carman’s water treatment facility had been shut down due to water quality thresholds. The community has drawn additional water from the Pembina Valley Water Co-op, which Mitchell says has put pressure on the co-op’s daily capacity and has resulted in low water pressure. Water levels receded slightly overnight April 2, good news for a community that is expecting a second surge this week as ice floes to the west break up. “We’re hoping that the water levels here drop sufficiently so that we can take in this water and it won’t flood anything,” Mitchell said. Keeping drainage infrastructure clear of ice, as well as ice damming on smaller-drainage tributaries, now appears to be the most significant flooding challenge. A n d r e w We r e m y, c h i e f administrator for the Municipality of St. Andrews, says crews have been working non-stop for three weeks clearing ice from culverts and ditches. The municipality had about 200 drainage-related service requests as of March 31. “With this weather, it’s kind of been a blessing and a curse,” he said. “I guess the blessing is that as it’s been cold over the last couple of weeks. It has really slowed down the flow coming off the fields and the lands and the yards. However, there’s been a little thawing and more freezing and thawing and freezing, so a lot of the water work that we’ve had to do has had to be redone.” In the March 30 flood forecast, the Province of Manitoba warned that, “... a combination of rapid melt, ice jamming and blocked culverts may lead to a rapid rise in water levels on tributaries and may cause l o c a l i z e d ov e r l a n d f l o o d ing. Municipal and provincial crews are thawing culverts on a priority basis.” The Red River was expected to crest April 5-6. A flood warning was put in place on the lower Red River March 31 due to ice jamming north of Selkirk while both Red River and Assiniboine River tributaries were “significantly increasing,” according to the March 30 provincial flood forecast. All flood mitigation measures are in place in the RM of St. Andrews, Weremy said. “ We have an emergency operations centre set up ready to be enacted if needed,” he said. “Right now, it is a waitand-see approach. We do have some of our gates and control structures in the closed position and there may be some

pumping required, but right now the river is not causing us much concern.” “ T h a t c a n c h a n g e ,” h e added, saying that the municipality continues to watch weather and flood forecasts. The Municipality of D e l o r a i n e - W i n c h e s t e r, i n southwestern Manitoba, has also reported ice-jammed culverts and water running over roadways. Creeks in the area are running at full capacity, according to Reeve Gord Weidenhamer, although he added that the Medora Creek, the main flood threat to the town of Deloraine, will likely not see significant flooding without rainfall. “Our flood outlook a week ago was very pressuring,” he said. “There was a lot of water, a lot of ice buildup, but as the days progress, our immediate area is actually lessened as far as severe flood outlook.” The municipality remains concerned about Whitewater Lake, which drains into the Medora Creek and has been a perennial drainage issue in the region. “I suspect that, with no controls, there will be a substantial amount of water running from

that Medora Creek system, which is, of course, something that we are trying to make a plan trying to prevent, trying to hold it during peak times and trying to release during non-peak times, but at the same time, until we can get an answer to that problem, it runs uncontrollably,” he said. Potential or existing ice jams meant flood watches for the Turtle, Woody, Swan, Whitemouth and Whitemud rivers and Pipestone Creek, while flood warnings were also in place for the Fisher, Morris and Pembina rivers as of March 31.

Pembina River rises In south-central Manitoba, the dike surrounding Gretna has been partially closed as the Pembina River rises. International travellers south of Gretna were diverted to ports at Emerson and Walhalla March 31, after flood waters f r o m t h e Pe m b i n a R i v e r swamped the crossing between Manitoba and Neche, North Dakota. The RM of Morris has also reported higher-than-average overland flooding from the Pembina Hills.

“We spend time reassuring people that we believe everything is under control and manageable and if you see that there’s a significant impact on your home and property, then we do respond,” Reeve Ralph Groening said. The Red River is not currently a major concern, Groening said, although the RM is watching flood forecasts closely. The Red, Roseau, Morris and La Salle rivers reported rising water levels while Souris River flows were beginning to increase in the last provincial flood outlook of March. The Por tage Diversion opened March 31 to manage ice and water levels on the lower Assiniboine River. The same day the Red River Floodway diversion gates were raised to protect Winnipeg from rising waters. The province also increased flows from t h e Sh e l l m o u t h Re s e r vo i r for the second time this year to accommodate spring runoff. Outflow was increased to 600 cubic feet per second on March 29, with further increases expected in the following days. Flood-fighting gear such as

pumps, steamers and backhoes have been deployed in southwest Manitoba and other high-risk areas. M a n i t o b a’s m a j o r l a k e s reported above-average water levels, while remaining ice covered. The province expressed continuing concern over Dauphin Lake, which was expected to be at major risk of flooding even with favourable weather as of March 24. “At this point we’re just dealing more with culverts freezing up,” Laura Murray, chief a d m i n i s t ra t o r f o r t h e R M of Dauphin, said. “We’re not really dealing with flood issues. We’ve been told that as long as everything stays normal with normal precipitation, that we should be OK, so we’re hoping for good weather to continue.” Up d a t e d f l o o d i n f o r m a tion can be found at www.gov. mb.ca/flooding/ or on Twitter at @MBGov.

Police still searching in want to stay on farm animal mutilation case Youth The project will look at how new farmers make it work Six animals have been found with their ears removed in the same rural area south of Brandon “It’s awful. Honestly, it just makes us sick.”

By Alexis Stockford Co-operator staff

he discovery of six mutilated animals, including a goat and miniature pony, south of Brandon has raised concern with residents and outrage among animal advocates. “It’s awful. Honestly, it just makes us sick,” Tracy Munn, shelter manager with the Brandon Humane Society, said. All six animals were found dead along the same stretch of rural road with their ears cut off, while one, the goat, was reported to have had its back legs tied. The humane society sees many “ugly” cases of animal cruelty, according to Munn, including one case where a dog’s back was burned with what they believe to be poured hot oil, but ear removal is new. “To do this and just leave them there, they don’t even care if somebody sees what they’ve done. They want somebody to see what they’ve done,” she said. The humane society is involved in most animal cruelty cases in the area. The report has sparked a police investigation. Const. Tyler Schryvers of the Brandon RCMP says all six animals were found by an area resident. The woman, later identified as Heather Eagle Bears by CBC, reported the body of the miniature pony March 26 after discovering the goat several days earlier in roughly the same area. “She didn’t think too much about it,” Schryvers said. “She was a little bit worried, but thought, ‘No, it could just be a random, one-time occurrence.” That opinion changed with the discovery of the second carcass. Following her report, she discovered the bodies of three coyotes and one raccoon, also with their ears missing. “After finding the first two, she just got a bit more vigilant — really, really checking, and that’s

Tracy Munn

when she found the other stuff,” Schryvers said. Police are unsure when the bodies may have been dumped in the area. Bodies have been taken by the Chief Veterinary Office in the hopes of determining cause of death, general health at the time of death and any ownership of the two domestic animals. Neither the RCMP or Brandon Humane Society have heard of anyone missing a goat or miniature pony. “We have no idea why anybody would do this,” Schryvers said. “There’s a whole bunch of theories out there, but until we get, you know, some better evidence back from the post-mortem exam and after we finish speaking with everybody and going through all the leads, then we can’t really speculate.” The Brandon RCMP hope to have information from the Chief Veterinary Office in the near future. Munn encouraged any members of the public with information on this, or any other case of animal abuse, to come forward. Personal information of anyone leaving a tip with the humane society will not be shared, Munn said. “If you’re watching abuse go on and you know it’s going on, it doesn’t matter if it’s a child or an animal, you’re an accessory to that,” she said. Anyone with information can reach the Brandon RCMP at 204-726-7522 or Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477, online at www.manito bacrimestoppers.com or by texting “TIPMAN” plus their message to 274637. astockford@farmmedia.com

ew research aims to debunk the idea that young people want to leave the family farm and move to the city. Annette Desmarais of the University of Manitoba is one of nine researchers involved in the study, which will look at barriers young farmers face in multiple countries, including Canada, India, China and Indonesia. Titled, Becoming a young farmer: young people’s pathways into farming in five countries, it will take five years to complete. “The reason that we decided to do this research is that there is this really strong message out there at a global level and at many international development institutions... that people don’t want to continue to farm, that the youth who have lived in rural areas and who come from rural areas are actually completely intent on moving

out and moving into cities,” said the Canada Research Council Chair. “But what we have found, however, in the research that we’ve all been doing already, is that individually that wasn’t the case.” She added that many governments and government organizations also make the argument that young people leave farming for an urban life because they don’t want to farm, but Desmarais said she believes many youth who leave the farm do so because they feel the barriers to farming are too high. “Young people actually do want to farm and many of them are farming and many new people are getting into farming as well,” she said, adding the research will also examine what enables young people to successfully enter the field, especially if they don’t come from a farming background. “What we wanted to do was understand that better,” Desmarais said. “How is it that people who have never

far med have made their way into farming and for those who come from farming families, how is it that they were able to stay, what kind of arrangements were made within the family or the extended family, how did they get access to land? What were some of the major factors that helped them set themselves up as farmers?” F u n d e d by t h e S o c i a l Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada, Desmarais will speak with 50 participants in Manitoba between now and the end of July. This fall, Sharada Srinivasan at the University of Guelph and Agha Akram-Lodhi at Trent University will follow suit, interviewing new and aspiring farmers in Ontario. A conscious effort has also been made to include both men and women in the study, as well as those who might be working in farming, but don’t yet have an operation of their own. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Twice the beef at Brandon winter fair

The youth-focused show drew a record number of competitors from both Manitoba and Saskatchewan BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

attle show numbers doubled in 2017 at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair. Shannon Carvey, cattle show committee co-chair, says about 100 head entered the ring from March 27 to April 1, up from the 50-60 head and 20-30 entrants the show normally claims. “We are about twice our numbers that we have been for the last few years, so that’s really fantastic and much in part to a group of kids from Saskatchewan who have come to our show this year, which is really nice for the first time,” she said. “That’s really increased our numbers and we do have a few local people who showed here when they were kids and now they’ve brought their kids back to the fair for the first time this year, so that’s really exciting too.” The cattle show committee was required to add splits and lengthen competition to deal with the influx. The Ag Action stage, largely devoted to cattle showing in the latter half of the fair, is also shared with other exhibitors and shows, further challenging time requirements.

The Don Mitchell Memorial Showmanship competition, open to youth under 21 years of age, saw 17 entries in both junior and intermediate classes and 16 in the senior age bracket. Justin Carvey of Alexander was named grand champion after winning the senior showmanship class, followed by Orianna Hyndman of Hamiota. Twenty-eight entrants made up the prospect steer competition while the market steer show became a five-way fight for the ribbon. Madison Petracek of

Whitewood, Sask., showed the top prospect steer with Rein Man, weighing in at 1,058 pounds, while Hayden Bigney of Carnduff, Sask., was reserve champion with Kong (955 pounds). In market steers, Tim Davey and M&M of Westbourne, Man., took grand champion, followed by Kyle Williamson and Bones of Brandon in reserve. Calf-feeding competitions, Carcass Calcutta Awards and live sale, and heifer shows also took place over the week. “The quality of cattle and kids is just absolutely amazing,” Carvey

said. “You look at the animals and there’s lots of depth in quality there, but it’s the kids who really matter to us as the organizers. We have a really, really good group of kids who come each year and the new kids who come too are great kids. They work really, really hard and this is a big deal for them and we just want to make it the best show and have them really enjoy themselves here.” Carvey estimates that upwards of 98 per cent of participants are 4-H club members. The winter fair is the first of the spring round of cattle shows for many competitors. “It exposes their steer to lots of activities and things,” Carvey said. “You will get your calf quiet by bringing them to something like this because they see absolutely everything.” Bailey McCormack of Grenfell, Sask., was one of the out-of-province names to earn honours in the ring. McCormack showed both a steer and heifer, paternal siblings, taking reserve champion in the intermediate showmanship category of the Don Mitchell Memorial with her heifer. The heifer had previously been shown at Regina’s Agribition, although it was McCormack’s first time in the ring with her steer. Also one of the participants to claim a 4-H background, McCormack has shown cattle since the age of six.

“It’s something that my parents have done, so I tried it and I’ve just always really enjoyed it and I see lots of kids, they really benefit from it because they have a better work ethic than some other kids that you might meet because they have a lot of chores and stuff that they have to do and they have the responsibility of taking care of their animals,” she said. The Falconer family of Sweet Grass Ranch, near Hartney, Man., also made up four competitors on the list, ranging from 10 to 16 years old and showing three steers and two heifers collectively. All but one of the children showing this year also showed at last year’s winter fair, their father, Glen Falconer, said. “All their friends come and it’s a pretty good outing and it’s a little advertising for the farm. It’s kind of our winter holiday,” he said. His two eldest daughters, aged 14 and 16, have been showing approximately since the age of four. The Falconer family accounted for two third-place finishes in the Don Mitchell Memorial. Katie Falconer walked out of the ring with a ribbon in the intermediate, while Grace Falconer took third in the senior class.

he last week of March was a busy one for most auction marts in Manitoba as just over 12,200 animals made their way to the stockyards. “We’re getting very good volumes at the market,” said Rick Wright of Heartland Order Buying Co. “We’re getting a lot of light cattle weighing under 800 lbs.” Most of the lighter cattle are expected to go on grass. There are big hopes for these long-terminvestment animals, Wright said. “The guys are hoping we’ll see what we saw last year, where once we get the third quarter out of the way and we get into the back half of the fourth quarter and we’ll see a little better pricing on the fed cattle,” he said. The animals that are being bought now almost look oversold, he added. “There’s no way that you can tie them up on the futures at even a break-even. Certainly the cattle that are being bought now are in a risk position.” Heifer trade is booming, Wright said, with about 3-1/2 to four heifers sold for every steer, which he described as about seasonal for this time of year. “The market on the good-quality cattle has increased considerably in the past two weeks.” A downturn could be coming, he added. “It looks like we’re maybe seeing a peak for where things are going to be and we’re going to see numbers dropping in the next one to two weeks.” Demand is strongest from Ontario and other

eastern buyers right now, followed by Alberta and the local market. “It’s seasonal (the good demand) but we didn’t expect the way the futures have been and the way the dollar’s behaving, we didn’t expect to see this big an increase in cattle price,” he said. Sales to the U.S. are still slow and some animals, those over 800 lbs., are slower to move than the rest, Wright said. As for weather, ranchers in the province’s southwest are going to see wetter conditions than others. “So we’re going to be a little wetter than what we’d like to see off the start.” Still, Wright said, the pasture situation for most of the province looks OK at this point. “There’s been lots of hay around, lots of feed around; silage crops were really good last year; everyone has lots of silage left,” he said. Producers this year may want to check out the Western Cattle Price Insurance Program ( WCPIP), he added, “because the coverage has come up in the past week… Premiums are fairly reasonable and we have no idea what’s going to happen to this calf run in the fall.” WCPIP runs from Feb. 1 to May 31 and is available across the Prairies.

Brazil’s JBS accused of violating Amazon rainforest protection laws By Anthony Boadle BRASILIA / Reuters

The world’s largest meat packer, Brazil’s JBS SA, has for years knowingly bought cattle that were raised on illegally deforested land, turning a blind eye to illegal clearing, Brazil’s environmental regulator has alleged. The accusation comes even as JBS and other meat packers in Brazil, the top global exporter of beef, are reeling from a corruption scandal. Police allege bribery of health inspectors to overlook unsanitary conditions and forgo

inspections. JBS has denied wrongdoing and sought to assure consumers that its products meet rigorous quality standards. Earlier this month, the e n v i r o n m e n t a l a g e n c y, IBAMA, ordered the suspension of two JBS meat-packing plants and 13 others in southwest Pará state for buying cattle raised on pastures cleared by slashing and burning the forest. It fined the company 24 million reais ($10.3 million). JBS denied purchasing livestock from ranchers on land blacklisted by IBAMA and won an injunction from a federal judge allowing its plants to continue buying cattle. The agency is appealing the ruling. Brazilian authorities have long said cattle ranching is responsible for more destruc-

tion of the Amazon than any other activity. The world’s largest rainforest is considered one of the best natural defences against global warming. JBS is the only major Brazilian meat packer involved in both the inspection scandal and the rainforest protection probe. IBAMA said no other big meat packers are targeted in its Amazon operation. IBAMA said JBS bought 49,438 illegal cattle between 2013 and 2016, half of those directly from embargoed pastures and the remainder by three-way “laundering” transactions to disguise the source. “They knew what they were doing,” said Hindemberg Cruz, IBAMA’s executive manager in Marabá, a badly deforested area of Pará.

Commodity News Service Canada,

peculation ahead of a muchanticipated dataset from the U.S. Department of Agriculture had ICE Futures Canada canola chopping around a wide range in the week ending March 31. USDA released its prospective plantings and grain stocks reports on March 31. The department’s seeding estimates often act as a major mover in markets, leaving values with doubledigit gains or losses. This year’s estimates were projected to be bearish for soybeans at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), and lived up to expectations. U.S. soybean-planted area for 2017 is estimated at a record-high 89.5 million acres, up seven per cent from last year, USDA said. The less anticipated, though still important, stocks report added to the bearish tone in soybeans. Soybeans stored in all positions in the U.S. on March 1 totalled 1.73 billion bushels, up 13 per cent from the same time frame a year prior, the U.S. agency said. Soybean futures were also feeling the bearish effects of competing supplies emerging from South America. Brazilian producers are finishing harvest and will be taking supplies to ports throughout April. Those weaker soybean prices pressured canola, moving the market lower on the week. Canola is feeling the consequences of ample soybean stocks, though the supply situation in the Canadian market is tilted toward bullish. Traders expect canola supplies could be tight moving into the spring. Crops that were left to overwinter will soon be coming out of fields, revealing the amount and quality of those supplies — which some expect will not be good. Those expectations are lending canola some independent strength, but not enough for the market to shrug off the bearish effects of supplies south of the border. The Canadian dollar was mostly rangebound

The expectation for a lower amount of corn to be seeded this year allowed the CBOT corn market to advance on the week, though heavy stocks limited the market’s upside. Corn seeded in the U.S. in 2017 is expected to reach 90 million acres, down four per cent from the year prior, USDA said. Stocks of corn as of March 1 totalled 8.62 billion bushels, up 10 per cent from last year. That tempered gains, along with competing supplies from South America.

Wheat CBOT wheat futures also edged up on the week, as U.S. seeded area is expected to decline on the year. All U.S. wheat planted area for 2017 is estimated at 46.1 million acres, down eight per cent from 2016, USDA said. However, heavy stockpiles of the grain, amid a bearish supply-and-demand situation, limited the market’s upside and could further pressure values moving forward. All wheat stored in all positions on March 1 totalled 1.66 billion bushels in the U.S., USDA said, up 21 per cent from the same time frame a year prior.

Wheat bids soften in Western Canada A stronger Canadian dollar helped drag on cash wheat prices BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN CNS Canada

pring wheat bids in Western Canada were steady to lower during the week ended March 31, as a softer tone in U.S. futures and strength in the Canadian dollar weighed on pr ices in the countryside. Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were steady to down $2 per tonne across the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of delivery points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about $220 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $240 in northern Alberta. Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but generally

Average CWRS prices ranged from about $220 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $240 in northern Alberta.

held steady to range from about $24 to $44 per tonne above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollar-denominated futures and Canadian dollar cash bids. When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$165 to US$180 per tonne. That would put the currencyadjusted basis levels at about US$16$31 below the futures.

Looking at it the other way around, if the Minneapolis futures are converted to Canadian dollars, CWRS basis levels across Western Canada range from $21 to $41 below the futures. Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were down $3-$4 per tonne, with prices ranging from $151 to $166 per tonne. Average durum prices were down by $8 to $15 per tonne, with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $252 to $255 per tonne.

The May spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts in Canada are based, was quoted March 31 at US$5.3425 per bushel, down by 1.5 U.S. cents from the previous week. Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The May K.C. wheat contract was quoted March 31 at US$4.205 per bushel, down 7.5 U.S. cents compared to the previous week. The May Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled March 31 at US$4.265, down by about 2.25 U.S. cents on the week. The Canadian dollar settled March 31 at 75.19 U.S. cents, up by roughly half a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart compared to the previous week.

There are at least 150 reasons to visit the Manitoba Agricultural Museum In celebration of the country’s anniversary, the MAM has gone through its collection and made a list BY ALEX CAMPBELL Manitoba Agricultural Museum

he year 2017 is the 150th anniversary of our great country. In celebration the Manitoba Agricultural Museum (MAM) decided to identify the top 150 artifacts in the collection. This list is too long to be published here but the list can be found in the MAM website under the button marked “150 Reasons.” One problem that MAM faced in this project is that the museum has so many artifacts, it was difficult to identify the top 150. The list is divided into categories which also had the benefit of MAM not having to identify the top artifact in the collection. This would be a difficult chore as there are a number of criteria that one could use to identify potential top artifacts; rarity, connection to Manitoba, historical significance, role in agriculture and so on. It is easy to identify the criteria, but a lot harder to apply them! The tractor and gas engine category demonstrates the problem. While the Versatile prototype tractor known as Big Roy is one of the MAM’s most popular artifacts, attracting people from all over the world as well as from North America, it is not as historically significant as the Sawyer Massey 11-22 or 25-45 tractors in the collection. These tractors are early Canadian-built tractors and relatively successful designs for their time, 1910-20. These tractors are just two of the tractors in the collection and the list shows a number of other tractors with just as good a claim to importance. The steam categor y also demonstrates the same problem. The collection contains a rare Petersen engine built in Canada and even more rare in that it was never operated after it was built until it came to the museum in the 1960s. The collection also contains an L.D. Sawyer portable engine which was made in Canada and sold in some numbers in the pioneer era along with an American Able engine, which despite its name was a Canadian manufacturer. Again, American Able engines were sold in some numbers. This American Able engine is even rarer in that it is fitted with a “Kitchener” boiler. A lot of the engines at the museum have a long history with Manitoba which makes more difficult the decision to include an engine on the list. MAM also has a wide selection of far m implements, including some odd implements such as the Ellard potato digger which used revolving forks to dig the potatoes. There are also some common implements that

The Manitoba Agricultural Museum’s Goold Shapely and Muir “Beaver” tractor. Goold Shapely and Muir were a very early Canadian manufacturer of tractors, having begun to manufacture the “Ideal” line of tractors in 1907. In 1918 GS&M replaced the Ideal line with the Beaver tractor which used a Waukesha engine and a friction drive transmission. PHOTO: MAM

One problem that MAM faced in this project is that the museum has so many artifacts, it was difficult to identify the top 150.

were important to Manitoba, such as the CCIL pull-type combine built in Manitoba. And some unrealized treasures such as the Steward Sheaf Loaders which, until recently, were not known to be built in Manitoba. Steward had a plant in Elmwood and judging from the number of photographs of Stewards in the field which have surfaced, they were a sales success. Besides implements, tractors and steam engines, the list contains a homemade beehive made from a section of tree

trunk. Items such as this beehive often did not survive as they were either used until they fell apart or were simply discarded as no one realized their value or even realized what the item was. Also on the list are a 120-yearold “log cabin” quilt and the Canada Packer quilt collection. The log cabin quilt also falls into the category of an item that would have been used until it fell apart. So it is rare for a quilt of this vintage to have survived. The Canada Packer quilt collec-

tion contains quilts that were made for show and display and so were never meant for everyday use. They are outstanding examples of the art of quilt making. So have a look over the list of top 150 artifacts in the MAM collection or even better, see the museum in 2017 to examine these artifacts and others in the collection! The staff and volunteers would love to see you in 2017. The Manitoba Agricultural Museum is open year round and operates a website at http://agmuseum.mb.ca/ which can provide visitors with information on the museum and the reunion including location and hours of operation. Alex Campbell is the executive director of the Manitoba Agricultural Museum, in Austin, Man.

Prairie fare Be aware of grocery store psychology Plan menus and make a list before going to the store BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

“

think I will curl up by a pallet of baked beans and take a nap,” my husband commented. I think he was in a “food coma.” My husband and I had just completed a hearty breakfast at a nearby restaurant. We followed our breakfast with a trip to a warehouse-type grocery store. “I don’t think I need this huge cart. Nothing looks appealing right now,” I noted as I slowly pushed the jumbo grocery cart around the store. The cart was large enough to fit my tired hubby. That would have been photo worthy, but he gradually awakened as we shopped. I often recommend that people have a snack before shopping, but we went overboard with our breakfast. We still needed to buy some food for the week, despite our disinterest in food. We practically ran away from the people offering food samples throughout the store. I thought I might never be hungry again. However, after a few laps down the long aisles, I managed to pick out some groceries to get us through the week. Have you ever thought about the psychology of grocery stores? These businesses are not random displays of foods. Warehouse food stores are a little different from regular grocery stores, and food sampling plays a fairly significant role in promoting food sales. When people have the opportunity to taste a food, they are more likely to purchase that item. We usually shop at “regular” grocery stores, especially when we need only a small amount of specific items. In many warehouse stores, you do not have the option of buying one can of beans, for example. You usually need to buy a multipack of most foods. Large grocery stores have thousands of items. The store layout is designed to promote buying more food, sometimes more than you plan to buy. Usually you arrive at the produce aisle or bakery first. These departments offer sensory appeal with colourful fruits and vegetables or the aroma of freshly baked items. You might find bouquets of fresh flowers near the front of the store, too. I have been enticed to fill a vase for myself, on occasion.

Grocery stores are designed to make you buy more than you need. Being aware of this can prevent it. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK

If music is playing, you may walk more slowly based on the tempo of the music. At least one study has shown that music enhances sales; the more you dawdle, the more you buy. If you want to buy some milk and eggs, you probably need to walk through all the aisles and temptations to reach the dairy case. If you’re like me, a trip through the store often inspires more than milk in my cart. You might be tempted by the “end caps.” These items are parked at the ends of aisles, which are premium spots that encourage shoppers to purchase foods. Food-marketing researchers have shown that setting a limit on the number you can buy often prompts people to buy the larger number of items. Be aware that when a grocery store sign lists “Two for $1,” you usually can buy one item for 50 cents, unless the sign says “must buy two.” If you have raised children or are in the process of raising them, you also might have noticed that the smiling cartoons on the front of cereal boxes often are at kids’ eye level.

Look at the eyes on the cartoons. When children make “eye contact” with the characters, they are more likely to use their “pester power” to get you to buy the cereal, snack or other item. My oldest child had more success with asking for food than his younger siblings; parents can learn, too. When you reach the checkout stand, be aware that all the gum, breath mints, magazines, soda pop and assorted items are there to promote impulse purchases as you wait for the person in front of you to unload and pay for his or her groceries. Be aware of supermarket psychology so you can be a savvy shopper. Plan menus and make a list so you are less likely to need to run to the store for just one or two items.

ose Jackson opened her eyes as the phone on the arm of her chair buzzed suddenly. She picked it up, but for a moment contemplated just letting it ring and resuming her nap. The warm spring sun shining through the sunroom windows was almost enough to make a human being purr. She turned the phone face up so she could see the display. Jennifer. All right then. Rose touched the screen. “Hi sweetheart,” she said. “Hi Mom,” Jennifer's voice came over the line. Another voice chimed in from the background. “Hi Jennifer’s mom!” said Jennifer’s roommate Kendra. “Hi Kendra,” said Rose. “Mom says hi Kendra,” said Jennifer, away from the phone, then put the phone back to her ear. “How are you Mom?” she asked. “Fine, fine,” said Rose. “Just having a nap. Getting rested before grocery shopping.” “Ugh,” said Jennifer. “I hate grocery shopping so much. And sorry for ruining your nap.” “Don’t worry about it,” said Rose. “You’ve woken me up from way more important sleeps than this one in your lifetime.” “I suppose that’s true,” said Jennifer. She paused. “Hey,” she said. “I have something very important to tell you. Is Dad there?” “He’s in the study,” said Rose. “Should I call him?” “Yes, you probably should,” said Jennifer. Rose moved the phone away from her head, and heard Jennifer say something to Kendra which she couldn’t quite make out as she did so. “Andrew!” she called out. “Jennifer’s on the phone! She has something important to tell us!” It was a matter of moments before Andrew appeared from the study. “This had better not be bad news,” he said. “I’m going to put you on speaker,” said Rose into the phone. She touched the screen again and then placed the phone on the arm of her chair. “OK hon,” she said. “Go ahead.” “Is Dad sitting down?” Jennifer's voice came clearly across the line. “I am now,” said Andrew, settling into the chair

Andrew’s blank look was no help. “OK, I don’t know exactly how to say this,” said Jennifer. She paused. Rose found it impossible to tell from her voice, whether her daughter was being serious or not. “OK,” said Jennifer again. “You know how Randy and Jackie’s first baby was a girl, and Brady and Amanda’s first baby is also a girl right?” “Well yeeess, of course we know that,” said Rose. There was a long silence and then suddenly... “My first baby is going to be a boy,” said Jennifer.

There was a shocked silence in the Jacksons’ sunroom. Andrew looked as if he was going to speak but nothing came out of his mouth. Rose stared at the phone — mouth open. “Just let me say one more thing before you say anything,” said Jennifer, at length. “OK.” Rose managed to force the word out of her mouth. “April Fools!” said Jennifer. Her words were followed by gales of laughter from her and Kendra. Andrew rested his forehead on his hand and shook his head. Rose picked up the phone and appeared to be looking for something to throw it at. “Very funny,” she said at last, putting the phone down. “I know!” said Jennifer. “Hilarious, right? I wish I could have seen your faces!” “You really don’t want to see my face right now sweetie,” said Andrew, although there was a hint of a smile forming at the corners of his mouth. Jennifer’s laughter was infectious. “I thought we raised you better than that.” “Nope,” said Jennifer. “It wasn’t my idea!” Kendra called out from the background. “Of course it wasn’t,” said Rose. “Your parents raised you right.” She shook her head. “I almost had a heart attack. Worst April Fools’ joke ever, Jenn,” she said. “Agree to disagree,” said Jennifer. “It’s the only April Fools’ joke I’ve ever pulled so I thought I’d make it a memorable one.” “I’ll never forget it I’m sure,” said Rose. “Try as I might.” “Oh, hey,” said Jennifer. “Kendra is coming out to her parents’ place tomorrow. I thought if you guys weren’t busy I’d catch a ride and come have dinner with you. If I’m still welcome!” “Of course,” said Rose. “OK, see you tomorrow then. Bye!” Rose and Andrew looked at each other. “I’m going to kill her,” said Andrew. “Not if I get to her first,” said Rose.

How to choose the right tree Size, shape, function, foliage and bark are just a few considerations By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

any people plant trees in the spring to beautify their landscapes and choosing a tree is no easy task. The size and shape must be taken into consideration as well as what the foliage and bark are like. Size is important because the tree must be able to fit into the space allocated for it even when it reaches its mature size. A massive Basswood tree will not fit between two houses that are only a few metres apart, while a small Mayday tree might seem out of scale and be easily overwhelmed by large neighbouring trees. Too many trees are planted without taking their mature size into account and then gardeners have to cut and prune — often with little success. Before purchasing, read the tree’s tag carefully and take note of the mature height and width. Shape is also important, and often governed by the function the tree will provide in the landscape. Shape can sometimes dictate how much space it will take up (e.g. a columnar tree such as a Brandon columnar cedar will take up much less space than a wider ornamen-

tal crabapple). A tree used to screen an unsightly view should have a thick growth habit and perhaps be evergreen so that its function can be served all year round. It should also have branches right to the ground and not be bare trunked for several metres. A tree used for shade must have a suitable shape so that its canopy will provide adequate shade; one that is umbrella shaped, not tall and thin, is desirable for this. If the tree is to be located near a driveway or patio, it must not constantly shed twigs and branches, like willow trees and many fruit trees often do. Consider the bark of the tree to provide more interest in the landscape as many have interesting bark colour and/or texture. This is doubly important in winter as is the shape since both are very visible when the tree has no leaves and the architecture is exposed. Amur cherry trees have lovely cinnamon-coloured bark which has the added feature of peeling just like paper birch does. The almost-white bark of birch trees can also be stunning. Many maples and elms have deep grooves in their bark which create wonderful texture. Note whether the tree has flowers or fruit, and how showy and long lasting they are. A mountain ash has significant

white bloom, and its big clusters of berries are a prominent feature from soon after the flowers fade until well into the winter — or at least until the

birds get them. An “Ivory Silk” Japanese tree lilac will provide bloom when most other trees and shrubs have finished blooming.

Read what the tree tag says about the foliage. Consider the size and shape of the leaves. Are they round or triangular? Simple (one leaf per stem attached to the branch), like those of a Basswood tree, or compound (several leaflets attached to a stem that is then attached to the branch), like the leaves of a mountain ash tree? Are the leaves shiny, dull, or perhaps hairy? Are the edges wavy, lobed or serrated — and are they deeply serrated or jaggedly toothed? Are the tips of the leaves pointed or blunt? All of these leaf features will affect the tree’s texture and appearance. Leaf colour is also important. Some have foliage which is very deep green, while others have leaves that are bright green or even slightly yellow. A few, such as the Schubert chokecherry, do not have green leaves so the tree has a very different effect when added to the landscape. Fall leaf colour is also a consideration. Birch trees have lovely goldenyellow fall colour, while others provide orange or red fall colour. Find out if the tree loses its leaves early in the fall, like the ash, or later, like the Japanese tree lilac. Indeed, there are many things to consider when shopping for a tree!

Reena answers more questions Plus, some ideas from readers reena nerbas Household Solutions

Dear Reena, I b r o u g h t m y s o n’s s o c cer cleats out of storage and noticed that the shoelaces are frayed. I can’t feed the laces through the holes, and I don’t have time to search for new laces. Any quick-fix ideas? — Maddy Dear Maddy, There are a couple of different methods for repair ing shoelace aglets. You can purchase shrink wrap tubing at electronic stores, and fuse the shrink wrap onto the ends. But if you are heading to a store anyway it makes more sense to purchase new laces. Some people secure frayed laces with thin transparent tape; this is very temporary. A really smart quick fix; tightly wrap frayed aglets with dental floss and knot.

will stay cleaner longer. Coat both sides of the vents with a soft cloth and Turtle Wax. The job takes a little time, but the results are worth the effort. Dear Reena, I live in an area with limited access to stores. Can you give me advice on how to make a homemade aromatic diffuser? Thanks. — Ben Dear Ben, Find a small glass bottle with a narrow opening (a narrow opening traps the aroma better and the fragrance lasts longer). Pour 1/4 cup almond oil into the jar (use cooking oil if almond oil is not available). Add 1 tsp. 90 per cent-strength rubbing alcohol. Put four or five wooden reeds (or kabob skewers) into the jar and stir the oil and alcohol together. Add 15 drops of your favourite essential oil. Turn the reeds upside down every few days to activate the fragrance.

Reader feedback Dear Reena, The vents in my kitchen are once again caked with grease. I used your advice and cleaned them in the dishwasher. When I took them out, they looked brand new. Is there any way to prevent dust and grease from quickly building up, so that I don’t need to clean them as often? — Jada Dear Jada, Reduce the amount of frying in your home and your vents

Re: Uses for paper clips Dear Reena, Paper clips can be used as guitar picks. Another item you can use in a pinch are the plastic clips which come with bags of bread. When I taught guitar to junior high students I would save the clips and was able to amass a class set in no time. Some clever person at Lee Valley Tools has also fashioned guitar picks out of used gift cards. — Karen

This Old Elevator

n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba. Today, there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the legacy of these disappearing “Prairie sentinels.” The Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Co-operator it is supplying these images of a grain elevator each week in hopes readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other elevator they know of. MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has developed a website to post your replies to a series of questions about elevators. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that have served the farm community. Your contributions will help gather historical information such as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and agents, rail lines, year elevators were built — and dates when they were torn down (if applicable). There is room on the website to post personal recollections and stories related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one not included on that list. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the farm community's collective knowledge of what was once a vast network of grain elevators across Manitoba. Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at: http://www. mhs.mb.ca/elevators. You will receive a response, by email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received. Goldsborough is especially interested in determining when elevators were demolished. Readers with photos of elevator demolitions and dates of when these occurred can contact him directly at gordon@mhs.mb.ca or call 204-782-8829.

The last remaining wooden grain elevator in Killarney was built in 1953 by United Grain Growers. Seven years later, its initial 100,000-bushel capacity was expanded to 192,000 bushels with the construction of a crib annex on its east side. In late 1999, with newly opened inland terminals nearby that were several times its size, the elevator was sold to Paterson Grain. The building is slated for demolition later this year.

WEATHER VANE “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.” Mark Twain, 1897

Warmest temperatures of the year expected Issued: Monday, April 3, 2017 · Covering: April 5 – April 12, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Spring is often the toughest time to try and forecast the weather, and this year is no exception. The overall pattern for last week’s forecast played out as expected, but missed out on most of the details as the timing and placement of major weather systems quickly deviated from what was forecast. This forecast period should begin with sunshine on Wednesday as a weak area of arctic high pressure builds in from the north. This high will bring slightly cooler air with it and even with strong spring sunshine, highs will likely only climb into the mid-single digits. This high will quickly slide to our south on Thursday and Friday. At the same time a broad area of low pressure will be slowly organizing to our west. Together these two features will combine to produce a warm southerly flow across our region. We should see temperatures warm by several degrees each day, with highs by the weekend pushing the mid- to upper teens. The split upper-level flow looks to continue over the week-

end with the western low splitting into two features. The northern low is expected to track across north-central Manitoba on Sunday, bringing showers to northern regions and a mix of sun and clouds to southern regions. Temperatures should start off mild on Sunday before a cold front gets dragged through sometime late in the day. The weather models then hint at a change in our current split flow pattern for next week. It now looks as if the northern stream will become dominant, placing us in a northwesterly flow. A fairly large area of arctic high pressure is forecast to drop southeastward during the first half of next week. While this high should bring plenty of sunshine, temperatures will be quite cool, with daytime highs only expected to be in the +2 to +5 C range and overnight lows in the -4 to -7 C range. On the positive side, it looks like the winds will be on the light side, so it shouldn’t # feel too bad. # for Usual temperature range this period: Highs, +1 to +13 C; lows, -10 to +2 C.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies this winter (November to March) as a percentage of the average long-term precipitation amounts.

Northern Alberta and central Saskatchewan saw a fairly dry winter.

A milder-than-average extended winter Precipitation this winter was near to above average around Winnipeg and Brandon BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

ith winter officially over, it’s time to take a final look back at March’s weather and how the extended winter panned out across all three Prairie provinces. Hopefully, this year Mother Nature will agree as to how we define winter and not surprise us with any spring snowstorms! L e t’s b e g i n by t a k i n g a q u i c k l o o k a t h ow a l l t h e weather numbers added up for March. It was an interesting final month of winter across the Prairies. March began on the cold side across all three Prairie provinces, with overnight lows dropping down into the mid-minus 20s, with even a few -30s in some locations. The weather then turned mild during the second half of the month, and while it was nice, we didn’t see any big-time heat move in. St ar t i n g o ur look in the west, the mild end to the month wasn’t enough to overcome the cold start, with all three regions (Calgar y, Edmonton, Peace River) reporting below-average temperatures for the month. The

… it is looking more and more like mid-April will be a pivotal point for spring weather.

coldest conditions compared to average were in the Peace River region, where the mean monthly temperature was a good 2.5 C below average. The Edmonton region saw mean monthly temperatures about 1.5 C below average. In the south it was a little warmer, l i t e ra l l y a n d c o m p a re d t o average, with Calgary reporting a mean monthly temperature about 1 C below average. Precipitation was light in the north, average in the south and above average in central regions. Of course, things aren’t this simple when it comes to precipitation, so for a better look at actual amounts please check out this issue’s map. Looking at the extended winter for Alberta, the Calgary region saw near-average temperatures with slightly above-average precipitation, thanks to a wet February. The Edmonton region saw a mean extended winter tempera ture about 1 C above average along with near-average pre-

cipitation. The Peace River region reported a mean winter temperature about 1.5 C above average, with precipitation amounts below average. Overall, in Alberta this winter, temperatures were near average in the south, warming to above average as you moved northward, and it was dr y in the north with increasing moisture as you moved south. Moving into Saskatchewan, March also began cold, with mild weather moving in around the middle of the month. This time the warmer end to the month was just able to counteract the cold start, with mean monthly temperatures at both Regina a n d Sa s k a t o o n c o m i n g i n about 0.5 C above average. Precipitation was below average over the two main centres, but was above average in the far southeast thanks to the powerful early-March blizzard. Looking at the extended winter, it was generally warm and dry across Saskatchewan

with both Regina and Saskatoon reporting a mean w i n t e r t e m p e ra t u re a b o u t 2.5 C above the long-term average. Precipitation was light in most regions of Saskatchewan, with both areas reporting well-belowaverage amounts.

Mild in Manitoba In Manitoba, March saw the same general trend as the rest of the Prairies with a cold start followed by a fairly mild end to the month. Over western regions, that brutal blizzard that paralyzed the area for several days during the first week took its toll, and even with the warm end to the month the overall mean temperature for March was below average. The Dauphin region was the cold spot, with a mean monthly temperature 2.5 C below average. The Brandon region was a little warmer, with a mean monthly temperature 1 C below average. The Winnipeg region, which missed out on the early-March storm, was able to warm up a little more and ended up coming in a little above average, with a mean monthly temperature 0.5 C above average. Looking at the extended winter for Manitoba, the cold

end wasn’t able to overcome the overall mild weather exper ienced dur ing November, January and February. When all of the numbers were added up, both the Brandon and Dauphin regions saw mean winter temperatures about 2.5 C above the long-term average. Winnipeg was only a little bit cooler, with a mean winter temperature about 2 C above average. Precipitation was near to above average for the winter in the Winnipeg and Brandon regions, thanks to a snowy December and the big March blizzard. The Dauphin region and areas to the northeast were a little drier than average over the winter. Taking a quick look ahead to see what the latest models show for April and early May, it is looking more and more like mid-April will be a pivotal point for spring weather. The medium-range weather models point toward a potential shift back to a cooler and wetter pattern. Confidence in this is very low at this point, but is definitely something to keep an eye on. Personally, I feel this will only be a short week or so of cooler weather before above-average temperatures move back in. Hopefully that’s just not wishful thinking on my part.

Soybean cyst nematode likely already in Manitoba “I can only speculate but there is very high probability that SCN exists in Manitoba.”

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff / Morris

rop advisers in North Dakota are keeping a watchful eye on the northward advance of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) — and so should Manitoba growers, said a cropping systems specialist. SCN, a round worm that parasitizes roots of soybean and can reduce yields anywhere from 15 to 30 per cent before ground symptoms are present, has been in the neighbouring state for at least a decade and much longer in other parts of the U.S., said Greg Endres, area cropping specialist with North Dakota State University Extension Ser vice, while speaking at a Northstar Genetics’ grower information day in Morris March 23. Endres shared survey data showing the incidence and evidence of SCN’s steady migration in a northward and westward direction from the southeastern portion of the state. Maps reveal its documented presence in North Dakota counties including Cavalier, Towner, Rolette and Renville. It’s at a point where it’s likely crossing into Manitoba, Endres said. “I can only speculate but there is very high probability that SCN exists in Manitoba.” The good news is that there’s still plenty of time to monitor and manage the disease here. That essentially means not waiting to see the above-ground symptoms present before deciding to do something about it, he said. SCN which causes yellowing in the plants can be confused with drown-outs or iron chlorosis. The right approaches include a mix of basic prevention and continuous monitoring with soil testing, the specialist said. Prevention means keeping it out using clean equipment. But those activities in reality are “easier said than done,” said Endres, adding that wind, water and waterfowl commonly transport the disease. It’s monitoring that’s key to identify SCN presence and the far most effective way to detect it is by soil testing. The recommendation is to

do this around harvest time, or just before and take a soil sample from right in the root system of the plant where you have the best chance of finding SCN eggs. Sampling is best done on suspected areas such as field entrances, fencerows, flooded areas or alkaline areas. “Soil sampling is by far the best way to give us an early alert so SCN can be effectively managed,” he said. Managing SCN involves avoiding tight rotations, including edible beans, and using resistant varieties. Crop rotation can help to reduce the egg levels but be mindful that rotation won’t eradicate SCN, said Endres. There are also seed treatments available and more products are being tested and entering the marketplace all the time. But the debate continues as to how effective these are, Endres said. “We don’t want those used alone as a strategy for cyst, but in combination with resistant varieties they may be useful.”

Other diseases While SCN is a new disease, it’s far from the only one growers grapple with. Endres said phytophthora, a disease that develops with wet and warm soil conditions is North Dakota’s No. 1 root rot concern. “And it probably will be yours sometime in the future,” he added. Field scouting is very important, said Endres. “The disease can occur throughout the soybean growing season. Signs of phytophthora are water-

soaked lesions at the base of the stem which will move upwards. Another sign it may be present is if the plant is dead but the leaves remain attached. It will occur in patches or sometimes single plants, he added. Varietal selection is the key management strategy for phytophthora. “The key is to use varieties with resistant genes as a major way to manage this disease,” he said. Seed company and university information includes resistance genes present (or not) in soybean varieties. “There are many different races of phytophthora so if the disease is present at substantial levels in the field, then it would be good in the future to change varieties, that have a different type of resistance in them, also selecting varieties having good field tolerance to the disease.” Endres said there is one race of phytophthora present right now in N.D. for which there are no genes to combat it. It’s been detected in the extreme southeastern portion of the state. “We’re concerned about that.” There are effective seed treatments for phytophthora, but protection only lasts during early plant establishment, not season long.

Sclerotinia Endres also spoke about the use of fungicides and how various row spacing scenarios can impact sclerotinia or white mould. Growers should be aware that only fairly high levels of the disease

merit the use of fungicides from an economics perspective, he said. With dryland soybean, the disease does not consistently occur each year in N.D. at levels warranting economic use of fungicides. It is challenging figuring if fungicide should be applied or not because incidence level must be predicted prior to disease symptoms present in the field, Endres said. A reference he offered growers at the Morris meeting is that a 20 to 40 per cent sclerotinia incidence in a non-treated check would indicate it would have been economical to use a fungicide Endres also presented detailed research related to row spacing to manage for sclerotinia. Commonly, growers will opt for the wider 30-inch rows to reduce disease incidence, he said. However, widerow soybean without white mould will have lower yield potential across years. “With the disease and narrow rows, the disease likely will bring yield potential down but probably just to the yield level of the wide rows without sclerotinia,” he said. “It’s a balance you must consider.” Researchers in N.D. recommend, with a potential of moderate sclerotina incidence, going with 21- or 22-inch rows. “I really question going to wide rows only because of sclerotinia management because in the long run I would speculate that you’re going to lose yield and ultimately profit.” More information can be found on the website of the North Central Soybean Research Program at www.ncsrp.com/.

Carbon tax effects could undermine rural support for PCs Somerset farmer Gerry Demare proposes farmers pay the tax on inputs if they get the money back like they do with the GST BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff / Altona

anitoba’s coming carbon tax must not hurt farmers or the governing Progressive Conservatives (PC) could face a new right-wing party next election. Local farmer and PC supporter Danny Penner delivered that blunt message to Emerson MLA Cliff Graydon here at a carbon tax meeting March 30. “I am disappointed in Brian Pallister and his government,” said Penner, while chairing the event attended by around 200 people, including farmers and farm suppliers. “Cliff, Mr. Graydon, we need you to stand up for us in your caucus and say ‘stop being liberal-conservatives.’ “We waited so many years under a socialist government... and this leadership doesn’t seem to be wanting to stand up and do the right things by us. So let’s make sure that our views are known to them. “We don’t want to be pushed to a point where we have to do what Saskatchewan did and create another right-wing party.” Under the Paris agreement to mitigate climate change, Canada agreed to cut its greenhouse gas emissions 30 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030. To that end Ottawa says every province must have a $10-a-tonne price on carbon dioxide starting in 2018, rising to $50 by 2022. The revenue is the province’s. If a province refuses to bring in a plan, Ottawa will impose one. Agriculture accounts for about 30 per cent of Manitoba’s carbon emissions. The rest is split between mainly home heating and transportation. Penner and Somerset-area farmer Gerry Demare fear a carbon tax will add costs farmers can’t pass on.

“We don’t want to be pushed to a point where we have to do what Saskatchewan did and create another right-wing party... ” Danny Penner

A $30-a-tonne carbon tax will cost farmers an extra $25.38 an acre, based on applying 89.2 pounds of nitrogen per acre, Demare said, citing a story in Grainews based on information from University of Manitoba soil scientist Mario Tenuta. However, that number is wrong, Tenuta said in an April 3 interview. The correct number is half that — $13.49 an acre. The reporter made an error converting Tenuta’s data from metric to imperial. And of that, only $2.49 would come from taxing the natural gas used to make the nitrogen. Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler says a made-inManitoba carbon price will not make farmers uncompetitive. Demare says farmers could pay a carbon tax on inputs such as fuel, fertilizer, chemicals and transportation at the time of purchase, but would apply for a rebate as they do with the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST). Tax on the carbon emitted by farmers would be “dealt with in the same manner... and settled at the same time…” said a paper Demare distributed. Attendees were asked to sign a petition asking the government to implement the plan. Demare said without a rebate the farm community can’t escape bearing the full brunt of the tax because unlike other industries it can’t pass on the increased

costs to consumers either here at home or internationally. If farmers’ profits fall they, their communities and the economies of Manitoba and Canada will suffer, he said. “Any type of carbon tax that comes forward and lands at the feet of agriculture destroys it,” Demare said. The plan, developed by about 90 farmers at a meeting in Bruxelles, Man., has been presented at several events around the province and more are planned. “We are not stopping,” Demare said. It’s unclear how much of the carbon tax will be passed on to farmers. Presumably, it will vary with competition. The Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) wants farmers exempted from paying a tax on carbon emitted directly from farm production, which would include emissions from burning fossil fuels, applying fertilizer, as well as methane from livestock and manure storage. However, KAP acknowledges farmers would likely pay carbon taxes indirectly when buying products such as nitrogen fertilizer because companies will pass it on if they can. According to Demare a rebate is harder for a government to cut than an exemption. But Graydon was critical of a rebate.

“I don’t believe there is any benefit in collecting (a carbon tax) and paying bureaucrats to send the money back,” Graydon told the meeting. “That’s job creation and it doesn’t benefit society. So in saying that think about what you want to put on paper and what you want to put in a letter or what you want to put on a website that you can live with.” A rebate doesn’t fit with the government’s plan to cut red tape, KAP president Dan Mazier said in an interview March 31. Mazier also doesn’t think the government will take one per cent from the eight per cent provincial sales tax and call it a carbon tax, which also was suggested. Taxing carbon is to discourage emissions, which a sales tax doesn’t do, he said. But Penner said Australia’s carbon tax, which it abandoned after three years, didn’t reduce carbon emissions and neither will Canada’s. “If you need to appease Mr. Trudeau, here is an option,” Penner said, referring to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s championing of the policy. Farmers already have a financial incentive to get the most out of their inputs, Penner added “We have all bought technology to help us avoid overlap with sectional control shutoffs on our sprayers and fertilizer applicators,” he said.

Penner and Demare said they were disappointed David McLaughlin, the official getting feedback on a carbon tax for the Manitoba government, wasn’t present, even though his office said he would attend. McLaughlin met with KAP, its commodity group representatives and Manitoba Beef Producers, March 31. Mazier praised the Manitoba government for seeking farmers’ views. Not surprisingly there was some confusion about carbon taxation at the meeting, given plan details haven’t been announced. “I’m sorry I don’t have all the answers you would like,” Graydon said. The MLA said he would take what he heard to the legislature, but also urged people to write their MLAs. “If you are throwing wet Kleenex at the wall to see what sticks that isn’t going to solve anything,” he said. “What you have to do is come up with what you think are solutions that you can live with. “Saying that Mr. Pallister needs a backbone, that isn’t helping anything.” Demare said if the public wants to mitigate climate change it must fund farmers to do so. “If it doesn’t believe it wants to fund the benefits agriculture can bring forward, then this debate ends,” he said. “It doesn’t need to be talked about. “The people should pay for what they actually want to move forward as an idea.” KAP wants some of the carbon tax farmers will pay indirectly used to fund innovations to help farmers emit less carbon. The Manitoba Forage & Grassland Association and Manitoba Beef Producers say forage and pasture sequester carbon and want incentives to encourage both. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Disgruntled Progressive Conservatives voters take to social media BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff / Altona

It’s not just a carbon tax that irks Danny Penner about the current Progressive Conservative government. Penner, who farms near Altona, is unhappy the government elected a year ago after almost 17 years of NDP rule, hasn’t removed education taxes on farmland and property. Many farmers faced a huge jump in property taxes (municipal and education) last fall, reflecting a significantly higher property assessment. Penner wants other unhappy Progressive Conservatives to express their concerns on a new website (www. makembgreatagain.com), in hopes it will get the government to act. “This PC government is not listening to the ones who voted for it,” Penner posted on the site March 13. “Carbon tax could be a lot bigger than you think. It’s time education tax comes off farmland! We need this PC government to address this.”

Altona farmer and Progressive Conservative supporter Danny Penner is rallying other Conservatives to push the government to make changes Conservatives voted for in the election last year. PHOTO: ALLAN DAWSON The way Penner sees it the Progressive Conservative government isn’t conservative enough.

“We have in government right now, it seems to me, someone who wants to lean towards the left of centre to appease some people who will not vote for him (Premier Brian Pallister) anyway,” Penner told a meeting here on a carbon tax March 30. “We need to all stand up, take our pens out and write letters to the people who matter and make the decisions that affect our communities and our farms and make them accountable for what we have done when we X’ed their names on that box in the last election.” Penner said a Manitoba government survey on helping the environment angered him. “It was completely lambasting agriculture for its part in how poorly we are treating the environment,” he said. “We need to make sure we take the time — write letters, make phone calls, make our views known. Take the time to go on the website that was created... the government is watching and it is paying attention.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

No answers on $20K canola theft near Glenboro

The brazen thieves brought their own auger to siphon seed from a bin in a producer’s farmyard BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

Manitoba farm calculates it lost around $20,000 in a grain theft after a substantial amount of canola disappeared from a bin late Mar. 19. Carberry RCMP are investigating the theft, which took place in the RM of GlenboroSouth Cypress, about 10 kilometres west of Glenboro. Police repor t that an unknown number of suspects removed the canola with an auger they, themselves, had transported to the farmyard and then abandoned. Tara Seel, RCMP media relations officer, said the investigation is focusing on the canola, although police are exploring whether the auger may have also been stolen. “It doesn’t belong to the property, so we’re assuming that it’s stolen,” she said. Sara Smith, a family member, posted a message to Facebook warning residents to watch for suspicious activity the following day. “Needless to say that is a considerable amount of money that someone has stolen from us,” she posted in part. “Please be vigilant for any vehicles driving back roads, etc., that look suspicious as they may be scouting out farmyards to hit.” RCMP have described the theft as “unusual,” while Seel added that neither she nor local officers she has spoken to have seen cases of grain theft before. “That’s why it’s so unusual, that and the fact that the auger was brought to the property and left there. That’s unusual in itself, that you bring such a big tool of the trade,” she said. Kevin Swidnicki, insurance broker with MIG Insurance in Portage la Prairie, said most producers are insured for grain theft, although he has not seen a claim in his eight years with the company. The company does not instruct farmers on minimizing risk of theft, he said. “Because it’s such a low risk, it’s never really something we go over,” he said. “The only thing we discuss in grain is that you have to insure the value.” Theft insurance must be provided by private brokers, as the Manitoba Agricultural Services Co r p o r a t i o n i n s u re s o n l y against natural crop and production losses. While unable to disclose exact details of the case, Seel said the investigation is active. There have been no updates in the case thus far and the RCMP are actively seeking the public’s help in finding the thieves. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Carberry RCMP at 204-8342905 or contact the Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477, online at www.manito bacrimestoppers.com or text “TIPMAN” and their message to 274637.

While rare, southern Manitoba has seen cases of grain theft before, with canola often the target. In 2011, 2,200 bushels of the oilseed worth about $26,400 were stolen near Rathwell, while a Somerset producer lost 5,000 bushels worth $45,000 in 2004, part of a rash of grain thefts in the area at the time.

Securing bins, adding tracking mechanisms such as crop confetti and removing or disabling unloading systems near any bins have been among the common strategies suggested by experts to mitigate the risk of theft. astockford@farmmedia.com

Beware power pole fires

The Manitoba Co-operator | April 6, 2017

Heavy reliance on inputs diverts cash Nitrogen use can’t keep increasing if greenhouse gas emissions are to fall BY SHANNON VANRAES

STAFF

Even wooden power poles can short circuit. Warmer spring weather brings humidity, when combined with winter grime on power line insulators, can cause shorts. These can cause pole fires and outages. If a fire burns through the pole, the power lines can drop and be a safety hazard. If you see a pole fire or a downed line, call Manitoba Hydro at 1-888-624-9376 so it can deploy repair crews. What causes a pole fire: • Winter salt and grime can build up on porcelain or polymer insulators. • In the spring, during high-humidity weather conditions the dirt combines with moisture and can create a pathway for electricity to travel to the wood pole, causing fire. • The fire can burn through the pole and leave the cross-arms and insulators suspended by the wires. • A damaged pole can be very dangerous. If you see one, stay away from the area and call emergency services and Manitoba Hydro.

“We’re not going to get rid of nitrogen fertilizer, but we probably need a lot more diversity.”

Co-operator staff / Portage la Prairie

here is no way around it, according to Darrin Qualman, reducing carbon emissions will require a hard look at the use of nitrogen fertilizers. Speaking via Skype at the regional conference of the National Farmers Union (NFU) in Portage la Prairie last week, Qualman said the role of agricultural inputs can’t be ignored when it comes to addressing either greenhouse gas emissions or stunted on-far m income. “A fundamental truth around agriculture and greenhouse gas emissions is that agriculture doesn’t actually produce greenhouse gas emissions, it’s agricultural inputs that produce greenhouse gas emissions,” he said. “That might seem a little counterintuitive, but if you take a long view, sort of a long-term look at agriculture, we’ve had agriculture for... about 10,000 years and for 99 centuries there was no net emissions from agriculture, agriculture was low input and solar powered.” It was almost 100 years to the day that lightweight tractors, built with innovations developed during the First World War, first appeared on Canadian fields, he noted, adding the pace of development only picked up steam following the Second World War — as did

Darrin Qualman

producers’ reliance on synthetic inputs. “Those high emissions are really just a reflection of the inputs, we’re maximizing production on our farms and one of the ways we’re maximizing production is by maximizing the inputs that we push into that food system,” said the researcher, who has been working with the NFU in Manitoba to identify strategies for emission reductions. “Most of those inputs are fossil fuel products and nitrogen is notoriously fossil fuel expensive to produce.” While the official report won’t be finalized until funding uncertainties are resolved, Qualman said there are some broad conclusions that can already be gleaned from the work done so far. “One of the things we’re concluding in our report is that any low-emission farm and food system is going to be a lowinput farm and food system, low-input agriculture, organic agriculture, agroecology, a lot of these approaches is where we’re going to have to focus, we’re going to have to reduce input use,” he stressed.

But the idea of asking farmers to forgo nitrogen wasn’t a hit with everyone. “I don’t think that’s going to fly very well, perhaps we should encourage industry to develop forms of nitrogen that aren’t going to emit as many emissions,” said Wilf Harder. However, Qualman was quick to clarify his comments. “Nobody is saying that nitrogen has to be eliminated, just the opposite, it probably will be with us for quite a long time... what has to be eliminated is this steep upward trend in the use, where it’s been doubling every 20 or so years,” he said. Lydia Carpenter of Luna Field Farm, and the NFU’s first vicepresident of policy, added that the decoupling of livestock and cropping has contributed to emissions by pushing farmers towards synthetically produced inputs. “I think when we say nitrogen, we’re talking about synthetic nitrogen,” she said. “So we’re not talking about not using nitrogen, we’re talking about accessing it in a way that’s profitable.”

Qualman elaborated, adding that the current reliance on synthetic inputs and technology diverts money away from farmers’ pockets, and into the pockets of big business, while also increasing carbon emissions. “If you have a farm income graph of Manitoba, what you find is that since 1987 till now, farm input corporations have captured 98 to 100 per cent of farm revenue,” he said. “The reason you don’t notice, perhaps, on your farm that those agribusinesses are capturing between 98 and 100 per cent is because those figures are calculated before we take into account government- and taxpayer-funded farm support programs.” At the end of the day, lower emissions and higher incomes will both require a more diverse farm landscape, Qualman said. “We’re not going to get rid of nitrogen fertilizer, but we probably need a lot more diversity, we need more people doing polycropping and holistic resource management and intensive grazing, and then on the other end of the spectrum, we need people who continue to do zero till and use nitrogen,” he said. “But in the middle we need a lot more diversity, because we’ve really devoted most of the acres in Western Canada to one kind of agriculture and that’s a very high-emission form.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Demand, rejections from grain giant Egypt shrouded in speculation The nature of this key wheat market appears to be evolving very quickly BY JADE MARKUS Commodity News Service Canada

h e w o r l d ’s b i g g e s t buyer of wheat, Egypt, rejected three cargoes of the grain recently, the first time since overhauling its inspection system and following laxer import policy. Inspectors rejected three cargoes of wheat purchased by grain buyer GASC at the port of origin, two Russian and one Argentinian, citing quality issues. Those rejections are the f i r s t u n d e r E g y p t ’s n e w inspection system, which comes after the country moved its ergot policy closer to international standards. Egypt has increased its buying to the highest level this time of year since about 2012 to 2013, data from Bloomberg said. The country is trying to stockpile wheat, doubling its reserves from three million tonnes before the country’s harvest, expected in April, local media said, translating a statement from Egypt’s Supply Ministry. That indicates the coun-

tr y is becoming savvy in purchases essential to its citizens as it accumulates stocks, one U.S. trader says. “They don’t want any bad cargoes. They want highquality wheat that they can stockpile for a long time in their state reserves, and not have to worry about it,” said Terr y Reilly, senior com modity analyst at Futures International in Chicago. “In my opinion, they’re just getting more savvy in the way they buy wheat.” However, Jay Roddy, editorial manager for Washington, D.C.’s Tahrir Institute Middle East Policy, says there are other issues at play. “But it’s not quite clear what they are,” he said in an emailed statement. “Wheat has featured heavily in Russian-Egyptian relations, but despite deepening ties, the Egyptian government has rejected several Russian cargoes,” Roddy said via email. He added that as a U.S. dollar shortage heated up last year, there was speculation that shipments were rejected so the government wouldn’t have to pay, and

it’s not clear if that’s still an issue. The country has implemented a number of austerity measures, which caused domestic prices for food to soar, and the Egyptian pound to drop sharply. But those measures also set the country up to receive a multi-year U S $ 1 2 - b i l l i o n l o a n f ro m the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which may have propped up the country’s purchasing power. On Mar. 7, the same day as the cargo rejections, an Arabic hashtag emerged on Twitter, which translates to “supply uprising,” after the government made changes to its bread subsidy program, which feeds millions of Egyptians. Middle East Eye reported protests as news emerged about changes to the way bread rations are managed. Last year, Reuters released a report which says in some cases bakers were overstating the amount of bread sold, at a heavy price to the government. “The government seems to have backed down on one of the most substantial issues of the bread subsidy reforms

— namely, the government is keeping intact the amount of wheat bakeries can buy on their ‘gold cards’ — in hopes of placating popular frustration with food prices,” Roddy said. Though there are mixed repor ts on the rationale behind Egypt’s demand, the pickup in buying from Egypt has provided much-needed support to wheat futures at the Chicago Board of Trade and highlighted the affordability of America’s wheat. In a tender from Egypt on Wednesday, Mar. 15, on an f.o.b. basis, U.S. wheat was the most affordable offer. “The U.S. is now a little bit more competitive against the world,” Reilly said. Though when considering shipping and insurance, Ukrainian wheat beat out America at US$208 a tonne. “But the fact that the U.S., on an f.o.b. basis, was actually mentioned, is monumental,” Reilly said. He added that he expects the wheat market to trade sideways moving forward, as any further decline in futures prices should be met with increased demand.

Cool, dry canola keeps best when left alone, study finds

A PAMI study gauges whether to aerate, turn, or leave it be STAFF

or farmers who plan to keep canola in bins through the hottest months of the year, a new Prairie study suggests that to manage bin temperature, less handling is better. Having set out to study how best to manage higher-moisture canola over the spring and summer, a team from the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI) has also found that dry canola — at moisture below 10 per cent — going into a bin cool was at the least risk of spoilage when just left alone. “Over the course of two separate studies conducted in 2014 and 2016, we found little to no risk of spoilage when canola was just left alone, provided it was cool and dry at the start of spring,” PAMI research scientist Joy Agnew said in a release. Farmers are becoming more likely to keep canola in bins during the summer months as they take on year-round delivery contracts, bin capacities rise and both canola production and market demand increase, Humboldt, Sask.based PAMI said in a release March 13. Stored canola is at greater risk during the spring and summer when warm outside air warms the grain nearest the bin wall, allowing it to pick up free moisture, the PAMI team said. When that warm, moist air passes through cooler spots in the bin, the moisture can be deposited in the cooler grain, creating a high-moisture zone and posing a higher risk of spoilage. With that in mind, the PAMI team compared three approaches to managing bin temperature and moisture: leaving it alone, with no han-

dling; aerating the bin; and “turning” the canola, removing it and putting it back to spread out temperature distribution. The study’s first phase, in 2014, was done to find the best practice for spring and summer storage of canola with relatively high moisture content. The 2014 findings were revisited in 2016, using canola bins with an average of nine per cent moisture content. Compared against leaving the bin alone, the PAMI team wrote, “turning the bin resulted in the lowest average bin temperature, while aerating resulted in the most uniform temperature distribution.” In both cases, though, “turning and aerating helped to equalize the temperature distribution, but resulted in potentially unstable conditions that could increase the risk of spoilage.” Both turning and aerating created spots within the bins where cold grain sat directly

beside warm grain for short stretches — a problem which “may have resulted in condensation due to the temperature differential.” Fo r t u n a t e l y, t h e s t u d y team said, that didn’t happen in either 2014 or 2016 in this study. When the grain was unloaded, there was “no indication of wet spots or spoilage.” By comparison, the team wrote, “leaving the grain alone resulted in the most stable and favourable storage conditions.” The 2016 study results helped to broaden the “leave it alone” recommendation to canola with moisture content up to nine per cent, from the previous seven per cent level as monitored in the 2014 study, Agnew noted. Past that, she said, the 2016 results “confirm our observations from our 2014 study.”

Monitoring important Either way, the team cautioned, “monitoring the tem-

perature of canola during storage is recommended, due to the potential for spoilage” over the warmer storage period. Monitoring, Agnew said, is important “particularly in the spring and summer when temperature differences are most likely to occur... There are many variables that can affect the temperature and moisture in the bins, and producers must monitor the grain conditions on a regular basis.” The study involved monitoring canola temperature during June, July and August in three 3,500-bushel bins at one location — near Annaheim, Sask., about 140 km east of Saskatoon — using sensors installed inside the bin. The study team also “intermittently” monitored five other bins with temperaturesensing probes at different nearby locations, to collect data from different initial grain conditions in different sizes of bins.

he grain company formerly known as CWB has picked sites and plans to start construction next month on two new grain elevators in Saskatchewan. G3 Canada on March 28 announced it will build primary elevators about five km north of Melville on Highway 10 and seven km west of Saskatoon on Highway 14, to be ready for the 2018 harvest. The new elevators, which will have 34,000 tonnes and 42,000 tonnes of storage capacity respectively, will both be built on Canadian National Railway (CN) lines with 134-car loop tracks and high-capacity drags under their drive sheds, “enabling trucks to unload quickly.” The sites are expected to give Winnipeg-based G3 “excellent rail access to its Thunder Bay and St. Lawrence River terminals, and to G3 Terminal Vancouver once it becomes operational in 2020.” “Growing our origination footprint in Saskatchewan is the next step in G3’s plans to build a highly competitive coast-to-coast grainhandling network,” G3 CEO Karl Gerrand said in the company’s release. The Melville site will be G3’s easternmost facility in the province, sited on CN’s Yorkton subdivision just north of its junction with CN’s main line at Melville. The Saskatoon elevator will be on CN’s Watrous subdivision, which also connects at Melville with the railway’s eastbound Rivers subdivision running into Manitoba. G3, a joint venture between Bunge and Saudi Arabian ag investment firm SALIC, has owned the former Canadian Wheat Board and its grain-handling assets since 2015.

Agriculture major contributor to Lake Erie algae blooms Better on-farm management would go a long ways towards solving the problem By John Greig Glacier FarmMedia

here are two easily identifiable solutions to the Lake Erie algae blooms, said an American researcher, but success will require the co-operation of thousands of farmers. Jeffrey Reutter, a researcher at the Lake Erie island-based Ohio State University Stone Lab research station, has seen both the 1970s sewage-driven algae bloom, and the current blooms that are driven by excess phosphorus from agricultural run-off. “I honestly think we could s o l ve t h e p ro b l e m i f e ve r yo n e s o i l t e s t e d a n d d i d n o t a p p l y m o re p h o s p h orus than is needed,” he said at the Innovative Far mers Association of Ontario annual conference recently in London, Ont. The second practice is incorporating the fertilizer when it is spread. “If we can do that the problem will go away,” he said. There’s up to 60 per cent reduction in phosphorus loss when the fertilizer is incorporated, he said. After a long presentation on the extent of the challenge of algae blooms and their causes, Reutter made his statement about the simplicity of the solution in an answer to a question about far m production practices with the most impact. The solutions would, in fact, be profitable for farmers. Applying less fertilizer would save on costs, and incorporating the phosphorus would make more efficient use of the resource. The reality is that among thousands of far ms, there are many different production practices that have made sense for generations, and applying more fertilizer than needed makes sure that there’s always enough. More precise application would require investment in equipment and regular testing, which not all farms are able to do. Reutter said about 30 per cent of farmers are already using production practices that reduce phosphorus. Another 30 per cent will likely move to those practices. The question is how to convince the other 40 per cent. Research shows that 42 per cent of acres are responsible for 78 per cent of phosphorus and sediment loss. “It’s probably not going to happen only voluntarily,” he said.

Sewage in the ’70s The 1970s algae blooms were mostly due to the almost complete lack of sewage treatment by U.S. cities along the lake. That was fairly easily solved with more regulation and the imposition of standards. The lake rejuvenated. Reutter calls the 1970s cleanup “the greatest example of ecosystem recovery in the world.”

“The vast majority of this phosphorus is coming from the U.S., not the Canadian side.” Jeffrey Reutter

Fish returned, as did fisheries and tourism. However, by the late 1990s, the re-eutrophication of Lake E r i e h a d b e g u n , a s m o re phosphorus from various sources, including agriculture, made their way to the lake. By 2014, the problem was acute enough that Toledo, a city the size of London, Ont., had to stop drawing municipal drinking water from the lake due to toxins created by algae blooms.

Of the five Great Lakes, Erie is the only one with serious pollution issues. That’s because it’s by far the shallowest. The deepest point in the lake is 64 metres deep, whereas Lake Superior reaches depths of 405 metres. In the western basin of Lake Erie, it is only 7.5 metres deep. However, the water does change over rapidly in the lake due to the large flow in from the Detroit River and out through the Niagara

River. That means that when changes are made, improvements occur relatively quickly. Reutter said there is not much doubt that agriculture is a major contributor to the phosphorus problems in Lake Erie. There are very precise and regular measurements taken of rivers such as the Maumee River in Ohio. Similar measurements will be in place on the Thames River in Ontario by this summer. The major algae blooms are highly correlated with heavy ra i n f a l l ye a r s, w h e n m o re phosphorus is washed into water courses that run to the lake. Storm activity has also increased in ferocity, which means more nutrients washing to the lake. Annual storm discharge into the lake is up

53 per cent since 1960, said Reutter. The use of more bioavailable phosphorus sources for fertilizer has also meant g re a t e r m ove m e n t o f t h a t phosphorus, said Reutter. Canadian farmers have a role, but Reutter said the problem is largely one for Americans to solve, as their rivers are contributing significantly more to the problem than those in Canada. For example, the Maumee River in Ohio contributes between five to 10 times more phosphorus to the lake than the Thames River, which is the largest Canadian source. “The vast majority of this phosphorus is coming from the U.S., not the Canadian side,” he said.

Ontario growers aim to open hay export markets A grower co-operative hopes to compact hay for export via container BY JOHN GREIG Glacier FarmMedia

n Ontario hay co-operative hopes to have a double-compaction facility running by 2018, giving it access to global markets for hay. Ontario hay has traditionally been at a shipping cost disadvantage compared to most competitors, as hay headed for Asia or the Middle East has had to be shipped by rail to the West Coast. According to Fritz Trauttmansdorff, chair of the board of directors of the Ontario Hay and Forage Co-operative, the expansion of the Panama and Suez canals has lowered the cost of shipping from the East Coast to Asia — and that’s changed the game for Ontario producers, who have been at a $100-per-tonne disadvantage. “The situation before Christmas was that it was cheaper to ship to China than to truck to Florida. This is a very real

possibility now,” Trauttmansdorff said. Ontario has some of the most reliable growing conditions for hay in the world, with the climate rarely too wet or too dry, compared to drought-prone Spain or California. The challenge in Ontario is the lack of hay drying and packing capacity to efficiently fill containers to get them to foreign markets. There are some lower-capacity hay dryers in Ontario, Trauttmansdorff said, but the European models on the market are generally too expensive to import, with less capacity than Ontario growers need. As a result, there are Ontario and Quebec farmers and companies working to build dryers that could be commercialized and efficient in Ontario. Trauttmansdorff said the projects look promising, including an Ontario project with the Martin family and Reist Industries that’s expected to have working prototypes running this year.

The dryers are critical to reduce the hay’s moisture level to 12 per cent, the level required to ship hay in containers around the world without spoilage. Being able to harvest hay in two days, then artificially dry it to the right moisture, could revolutionize hay production in the province, said Ray Robertson, manager of the Ontario Forage Council. It currently takes up to five days to dry hay — and it’s much easier to predict the weather two days out instead of five, Robertson said.

‘Go big’ Once the hay dryers are available, the next step is to create a co-op-owned facility to compact the hay. Double-compacted hay means you can put 25 tonnes in a shipping container instead of 15, for a significant advantage in shipping, Robertson said. A double compactor would need to process 100,000 tonnes

a year, according to a feasibility report created for the co-op, which has previously estimated such a compacting facility would cost between $10 million and $15 million. “In very few words, go big or go home,” said Trauttmansdorff. That means a co-operative is necessary to fund the large double compactor — and to get the financing for the project, there will need to be enough members of the co-op who have committed supply to make the project feasible. A co-op would buy the hay from farmers, then market it — but creating that logistics and marketing infrastructure would also create more expenses for a new co-op. Farmers will have to figure out whether shipping to a double-compaction facility, likely to be located in the Kitchener area, makes sense for them. Trauttmansdorff said the cooperative has seen interest from

farmers as far away as Timmins, where they grow one cut of timothy hay efficiently. Pr o d u c i n g m o re h a y i n Ontario also offers growers the potential to add a perennial crop to their current rotations. The loss of soil organic matter is significant each year in Ontario and is driving the current expansion of cover crops — but growing more hay also has to make financial sense for farmers. “The risk profile for hay needs to be similar to corn and soybeans,” Trauttmansdorff said. That can be achieved with hay dryers, double compactors and proven logistics to reach global markets. Hay prices are decent, with recent auctions around 13 cents per pound, Robertson said. “It makes it really competitive, hay versus cereal crops,” he said. “Extra markets make hay more attractive as a cash crop.” More information can be found on the co-operative’s website at ontariohay.ca.

U.S. processing firm Grain Millers Inc. is pressing ahead on the second phase of a previously announced expansion at its Yorkton, Sask. oat-processing plant. The company on March 24 announced the “initiation” of the second phase of the expansion, which overall is expected to cost $100 million and boost the plant’s annual output by 80,000 tonnes of oat products. The plant, which today includes storage capacity for over 13,000 tonnes of oats, has undergone multiple expansions since Grain Millers bought what was then known as Popowich Milling in 2001. The latest expansion, when completed, is expected to create about 25 jobs at the plant, which produces conventional, organic and gluten-free oat products such as rolled oats, instant oatmeal and oat bran. Grain Millers said it expects the new milling capacity to come online late next year. “Yorkton is in the heart of oat country and, with the skilled workforce we have here, it is a great location for us to continue growing our milling business,” Terry Tyson, director of grain procurement for Grain Millers Canada, said in a company release. “Our team is experienced, motivated and ready to build upon a competitive and proven infrastructure.” Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, in the company’s release, noted the expansion is also expected to provide 110 construction and engineering jobs during the build. The Yorkton oat plant is one of three in the company’s grain division, also including facilities at Eugene, Oregon and St. Ansgar, Iowa.

Cattle show clinic reveals tricks of the trade Kirk Stierwalt returned to Brandon for a three-day chute clinic March 27-29 before the start of the annual winter fair cattle show BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

oung cattle showers were looking to jump-start their skills with a three-day chute clinic March 27-29, before hitting the ring at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair. Shannon Carvey, cattle show committee co-chair, said 2017 was the latest in a line of Brandon winter fairs to host clinician Kirk Stierwalt. The clinic launched the cattle portion of the fair and sold out well before the gates opened in the last week of March. “It’s amazing to see the growth of the kids who have maybe been to one or two demos or clinics and whatnot and even the growth in the kids from the first day they started clipping to the second day,” Carvey said. “It’s amazing the confidence that is built and they’re really just learning a tremendous amount of knowledge.” The owner of Stierwalt Cattle and Clinics in Leedey, Oklahoma, the clinician stopped in Brandon for what will be one of about 40 similar clinics planned throughout Canada and the United States in 2017. In Brandon, attendees to two public demonstrations heard about the importance of skin care, monitoring for hard water stress on the skin, hair-care solutions such as conditioner or vinegar rinse, and washing and grooming techniques. Improper parting near the tail can add the illusion of an undesirable hump from a side view, attendees heard, while scrubbing in circles, a technique Stierwalt himself said he was initially taught, may hamper proper rinsing due to the direction of the coat. “Something as simple as washing and drying a calf, a lot of times, to me, gets overlooked because they either don’t use the right kind of soap, maybe not strong enough. They maybe don’t necessarily scrub them or do what they need to do to get that soap down in there,” he said. “A lot of times, it’s just that little bit of extra time to kind of get something done.” Equipment, types of washing product and breed-specific advice (such as combing the coat flat near the back and letting it air-dry on curly haired breeds to encourage straightening) were also touched on during the public shows. For full participants of the clinic, topics became more in-depth once the crowds had left. Clipping, hoof trimming, showmanship, feeding (including proper feeding on show day, when the stress of a new environment may put animals off their feed), training and competition day preparation were among areas covered.

They maybe don’t necessarily scrub them or do what they need to do to get that soap down in there. A lot of times, it’s just that little bit of extra time to kind of get something done.” Kirk Stierwalt

“We’re trying to do the good skin care, good hide care, good hair care and stuff like that to benefit the animal, but I think a lot of times we’re also trying to let the calf know what to do — their job,” Stierwalt said. “When you’re working on them a lot and you’re taking care of animals, they just get a little bit smarter and you kind of work together as a team.” Daily care was placed alongside showmanship and show day techniques in Stierwalt’s lesson plan. It should take about 100 days to prepare an animal to show, he said, time which may also allow an animal to adjust to any change made in their training partway through.

Clinician Kirk Stierwalt touches on different wash products and shampoos during one of two public cattle-showing demonstrations March 28.

Stierwalt added that the clinics include updated information in an industry that consistently evolves. For Dylan Frey, it was the first time he has participated in a clinic of this type in his six years of cattle showing. “I wanted to learn more about clipping so I could clip my own calves instead of my parents,” he said. Frey’s father, Jason Frey, said he also saw the benefit to the clinic, citing the range and practicality of topics covered. The young cattle shower from the Alameda 4-H Beef Club was

one of many clinic attendees to get their start through 4-H, including Stierwalt himself. “These kids are awesome and these 4-H families and these 4-H kids and just this whole show program in whole is something that I’m thankful to be a part of,” he said. “I’m just trying to give them some push, give them some help, but I’m a product of that whole system, so it’s important for me to give back.” The Royal Manitoba Winter Fair cattle show took place after Stierwalt’s clinic, running March 30 to April 1. astockford@farmmedia.com

Carbon taxes should be like income taxes — with credits

PED pops back up in southern Ontario

Diverse management systems are the key to putting more carbon back into the soil, and possibly more money into farmers’ wallets

New cases hadn’t been seen since last June

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff / Brandon

lain Hjertaas says that if you tax use, you should reward storage. “I believe that if we, as a society, are going to value carbon and tax carbon as a bad behaviour… then we need to reward those who solve the problem and take the carbon from up here and put it back into the soil.” Hjertaas, a holistic management farmer and educator, told a recent Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association grazing club meeting here that rather than a straight carbon tax, there should also be credits drawn from carbon tax revenues. He argues that his farm in Redvers, Sask. has seen an average 6.19-tonne-per-hectareper-year increase in carbon sequestration between 2011 and 2014 through “regenerative agriculture.” Hjertaas says he now sequesters a total 22.88 tonnes of carbon per hectare per year, more than Canada’s annual 20.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per capita reported by Environment and Climate Change Canada in 2014. Pointing to Alberta’s carbon tax, set to increase to $30 per tonne this year, Hjertaas argued that the 22.88 tonnes sequestered in his soil should be worth an equivalent $686.40.

Making a difference The argument struck a cord with workshop attendees, many of whom are concerned about a carbon tax. Dave Bettschen, whose southern Saskatchewan farm has transitioned from grain to forage over the last 20 years, said he was “very doubtful” before the meeting but now intends to implement intensive grazing and rotation into his operation. “I found this to be very interesting today, very informative,” he said. “It’s really changed my opinion on a lot of things. I came here thinking the carbon tax was a waste of time and, actually, I still think the carbon tax is a waste of time, but I see now that there are some farmers out there doing some things that really can make a difference to sequester carbon.” Minto-area grain producer David Rourke described carbon sequestration and regenerative agriculture as a “grassroots solution that deserves a lot of merit.” “I keep getting amazed by how fast things are changing and what the potential for agriculture to have a positive influence on global climate is,” he said. Sequestering carbon played a role in the recently released carbon policy recommendations from Manitoba Beef Producers. The group recommended six points to the government, including tax exemption for its industry, research investment in advanced forages and grazing practices, incentive for farmland to be returned or maintained as pasture, tools to help producers weather climate change and recognition of agriculture for its role in greenhouse gas reduction.

Producers has also called on the province to exempt livestock and crop production from carbon tax and to defer a portion of tax funds back into research or initiatives to help producers cope with climate change. Rourke, also the founder of agriculture research company AgQuest, said the current policy on carbon sequestration is based on hay, a mechanism he argues is not an efficient vehicle for carbon storage. “Hay is a nutrient-export business,” he said. “It doesn’t return anything back. The cutting doesn’t stimulate the growth the same way that grazing does.”

‘Four ecosystem processes’ Regenerative agriculture, a series of management practices meant to not only sequester carbon but also rebuild soil health, was the main topic of Hjertaas’s address. He said “four ecosystem processes” are key: maximizing s o l a r e n e r g y c a p t u re by maximizing time plants are actively photosynthesizing, maximizing water infiltration, maintaining soil ecosystems and regaining environmental diversity. “Most of our annual cropping systems only capture energy for about 70 days of the year,” Hjertaas said, adding that he believes capturing up to 220 days’ worth of solar energy should be possible in Manitoba. “If we really want to be successful in agriculture, we need to capture energy from the time the snow melts to the time the snow comes.” The argument ties into the themes at previous grazing club workshops, which have stressed maintaining green growth or cover crops to build organic matter as well as increase water infiltration and reduce compaction. “The way a lot of the surface of the land is farmed today, the water cycle is ineffective,” Hjertaas said. “That’s why we have such massive flooding when we have a three- or a four-inch rain. The agricultural practices have taken a lot of the organic matter out of the soil so the water cannot infiltrate the soil anymore.” Lack of organic matter, plus

“If we really want to be successful in agriculture, we need to capture energy from the time the snow melts to the time the snow comes.” Blain Hjertaas

removal of the “litter layer” consisting of old growth from previous seasons, also contributes to excess run-off rather than soil infiltration, he said. Hjertaas criticized contemporary agricultural practices, which he accuses of being overly focused on chemistry rather than biology. “The only way that we will ever produce nutrient-dense food is we need to have fungi, bacteria, soil particles and plant roots working in symbiotic relationship, and the chemical system prevents that.” He argued for systems with more crop diversity, either through intercropping or more complex rotations including perennials. “They’re not as easy to manage, but they make the whole system power up and become regenerative.”

Livestock are essential Hjertaas substantiated his argument with real-world “success stories,” including an Arizona copper mine which was recovered from barren, unfertile land through regenerative management and livestock, which break up the compacted soil and add nutrients. “Livestock are critical to longterm regenerative agriculture,” he said. “I do not believe you can be truly regenerative without livestock part of the time.” However, he said continuous grazing is not necessarily beneficial. “The tool of livestock can be destructive to land or it can be regenerative to land all by how it is managed.”

Hjertaas said livestock should be moved regularly, creating a system where a parcel of land may be grazed intensively, then left to recover after being fertilized by the grazing animals. He cited another hypothetical example of a field seeded to forage and grazed in spring, followed by a second seeding of a diverse seed mix meant to address deficiencies in the soil, followed by a second grazing. The hypothetical field was then moved back to regular monoculture corn the following year. Using a real-world example, Hjertaas showed profit margins of a North Dakota cornfield managed under regenerative agriculture in 2012, compared to the county average. The field saw 34 bushels per acre more yield and over $180 less per acre in input costs.

orcine epidemic diarrhea has appeared on two hog operations in southern Ontario, after nearly eight months with no new cases in the province. Ontario Pork reported t h e p r ov i n c e’s 1 0 0 t h and 101st cases of PED on Feb. 22 and March 7, at finisher barns in Middlesex County and in the Haldimand-Norfolk district respectively. Ontar io — home to most of Canada’s onfarm PED cases since the virus first appeared in the country in January 2014 — hadn’t seen an outbreak since June 30 last year. That case, at a nursery-finisher operation in Huron County, was the last of 14 confirmed in the province in 2016. On-far m cases have also been reported in Manitoba and Quebec, though not since last fall and 2015 respectively, plus one in Prince Edward Island. No clinical onfarm cases have yet been recorded in Canada west of Winnipeg. The PED virus causes severe dehydration and diarrhea in pigs and is generally fatal in very young animals, while older animals generally recover. The virus doesn’t transmit to humans or other animals and is not a food safety risk. The virus is believed to spread relatively easily during colder weather.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
