looding was on the decline in parts of Manitoba late last week, but the Assiniboine River was on the rise. Simultaneous peaks of the Souris and Assiniboine rivers raised concern downstream. Flow into the Portage Reservoir was expected to reach 41,000 to 44,000 cubic feet per second April 12-14. The region between Portage la Prairie and Headingley remained under flood warning into the weekend, as flows were expected to reach 15,000 cubic feet per

second downstream of the diversion by April 10. “(That’s) getting towards the upper limits of the Assiniboine River, but still within its capacity,” Kam Blight, RM of Portage la Prairie reeve, said. “It also means that there’s going to be high flows going down the Portage diversion.” Blight estimated that between 26,000 and 29,000 cubic feet per second might be seen along the diversion. “Naturally, that’s a concern as well as there’s lots of homes and residents and farmland along the diversion, plus the impact that it has on Lake Manitoba,” he said.

The river remained well in its banks at press time, although river tributaries had backed up, creating overland flooding. Ice jams along the Assiniboine River had subsided, although the RM of Portage la Prairie reported an influx of water previously backed up by ice. “Basically what’s happened is it’s stopped normal waters from being able to get into the Assiniboine River that would normally disappear before the high river levels came through. The ice jams created artificially high levels and local water cannot get away,” Blight said. See WATER RISES on page 6 »

Palmer amaranth resistance more complex

Bison bigwig The bison industry recently honoured Jamie Moran

Two new mechanisms for herbicide resistance have been found in Palmer amaranth STAFF

CROPS Fertility challenge A tough fall means more spring applications this year

FEATURE Seeding start Every farmer wants an early start, but not too early

cientists are continuing to discover just what a difficult foe the weed Palmer amaranth can be. It can cause yield losses as high as 80 per cent for soybean growers and has already developed resistance to six classes of herbicide since its discovery in North America 100 years ago. It’s recently been found in North Dakota, likely after being brought there in conservation seeding mixes. Now researchers at the University of Illinois say it appears to have two new tricks up its sleeves. They were using a common test designed to screen for a common type of resistance, only to find it wasn’t present, despite field observations of resistance, said molecular weed scientist Patrick Tranel. “We started to suspect there was another mechanism out there,” he said. Tranel and his colleagues decided to sequence the affected gene in plants from Tennessee and Arkansas to see if they could find additional mutations. Sure enough, they found not one, but two. Almost all of the resistant plants tested had either the known gene deletion or one of the two new mutations, he said.

“None of the mutations were found in the sensitive plants we tested,” Tranel said. Tranel says it is too early to say what that could mean for those plants. In fact, there is a lot left to learn about this resistance mechanism. The team is now growing plants to use in followup experiments. Tranel hopes they will be able to determine how common the three mutations are in any given population. “That way,” he says, “when a farmer sends us a resistant plant... we will be able to tell him how likely it is that he’s dealing with another one of these mutations.”

SRDC puts crosshairs on innovation The Southwest Regional Development Corporation is looking to get creative with rural development BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

he two words used most at a regional development meeting in Brandon last week were “innovation” and “challenges.” The Southwest Regional Development Corporation (SRDC) met in Brandon April 6 for its annual conference. The organization is still recovering from funding cuts in 2012, when the provincial government cut off funds to seven rural and northern development corporations. The result, according to SRDC president Jon Lewis, was a restructuring of the organization, pulling back on granting and a refocus on two projects, succession planning awareness and a rural innovation initiative. “Innovation was the toughest because we didn’t know where we were actually going to go with it,” Lewis said. The SRDC has delved into zerowaste management, which it says will lower costs for municipalities that are currently transporting their waste to landfills. The SRDC, partnering with Celtic Power and Machining, hopes to implement a pilot project on waste gasification, reducing solid waste to synthetic gas using temperatures in excess of 700 C. Gas may then also be run through a turbine to generate electricity. The SRDC has argued this will significantly decrease waste volumes and the ash, metal and glass resulting in the process may be recycled. The project went before the Federation of Canadian Municipalities April 6, which will determine whether it received funding to move forward.

Population and opportunity According to the 2016 census, the population of southwest Manitoba increased from 2011-16, but was eclipsed by Brandon’s 6.1 per cent growth and Neepawa’s 27 per cent increase, although other communities and municipalities showed “moderate changes in population.”

Population in the RM of Two Borders decreased 10.3 per cent, while the RM of Brokenhead increased by 10.5 per cent and other regions, such as the (now amalgamated) RM of MintoOdanah, Cornwallis, SourisGlenwood, and North CypressLangford ranged between flat and five per cent growth. Despite overall numbers however, Lewis says the SRDC remains concerned about the bleed of people and businesses toward urban centres and what he says is a persistent attitude building urban centres up as an environment of success at the expense of smaller towns. “My small community I came back to had everything when I was growing up. Now we’re down to a quarter of the businesses there because everyone (thinks), ‘Oh, it’s better to go elsewhere.’ We didn’t have the foresight to say, how do we keep those businesses here? How do we make them viable?” he said. The challenges resonate with Lynn Hennigar, a conference speaker who is a member of NOW Lunenburg County, a group promoting development in their region with a population of 48,000 in rural Nova Scotia. Hennigar says population decline, resident apathy and a perceived lack of opportunities are prevalent enemies to her organization’s goals. Population growth has become the focus of NOW Lunenburg County and the organization hopes to attract 150 new families to the region. The organization will travel across Canada through July and August this summer to promote the area. Likewise, 42 residents have agreed to be “illuminators,” responsible for connecting newcomers to the community. “The cross-Canada tour, we started without funding and basically said, ‘We’ll drive the trailer as far as we can drive it based on the support we get, because if we wait until the funding is in place, we are never going to leave,’” Hennigar said. Perhaps of more interest to the SRDC, given its funding challenges, NOW Lunenburg County does not derive funds from the government, something Hennigar says is largely intentional.

The organization hoped to differentiate itself from the “traditional economic development, provincially funded, group that in our area doesn’t have a huge success rate,” she said. “ They’re not necessarily viewed as innovative. They’re kind of stuck in a very prescribed way of doing things and, much like here, the government has reinvented regional development over and over and over again, so they just get their house in order and start to do something and suddenly the rules all change and whatever they started stops and they have to start again.” Despite that stance, Hennigar says her group would have appreciated government funds during their first days and would still like to see support for their cross-Canada tour. The group partnered with the Lunenburg County Community Fund, also a young organization at the time, early in its development. The joint effort provided exposure and direction for the young community fund, Hennigar said, while providing seed money for the development corporation. The group has also derived funds from private foundations and community donations, but currently holds no legal status, an obstacle for municipal partnerships, which often require a paper trail. There has been some discussion of becoming a legal entity, Hennigar said, but the group is wary of losing the administration services currently provided for free by the Community Foundation of Nova Scotia. Lewis said the SRDC also hoped to detach from government funding for its innovation initiative. “Our problem is that you do that and government regulations and policies could stop you right there, so we thought, OK, we at least need to have support,” he said. The SRDC has been in contact with the province and gained the support of the Association of Manitoba Municipalities on the project. astockford@farmmedia.com

Research hopes to bolster rural agri-food business The study by the Rural Development Institute mixed in-depth case studies with public opinion BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

Agriculture and food has a role to play in rural development in Manitoba. That’s the conclusion of researcher Gillian Richards, of Brandon University’s Rural Development Institute, presenting at the Southwest Regional Development Corporation last week in Brandon. Richards’ study, “Rural Innovation in Manitoba: Reducing Barriers to commercialization and Growing Capacity in the Agri-Food Sector,” included five case studies of unique products, a survey of 400 residents in southwest Manitoba and an inventory of local business supports. “This inventory is an important thing,” she said. “I think a lot of times

people don’t realize what help they need and even if they do realize what help they need, they don’t know where to find it and that’s where we hope to fill a gap.” Amber birch syrup, produced by The Canadian Birch Company, sea buckthorn berry purée, produced by Solberry Incorporated, quick wild rice, produced by Floating Leaf Fine Foods, low-acid purées by Canadian Prairie Garden and cricket-based protein powder, produced by Crik Nutrition, were included in the study. Research explored the process by which each was brought to market. One of those companies, Canadian Prairie Garden, was forced into receivership in March. The 400-response survey focused on the region’s business atmosphere

and any perceived flaws that might prevent product development and commercialization. Some agri-food stakeholders were included, although Richards said the survey was not specific to the sector. Physical distance, lack of infrastructure, Internet availability and quality, accessing funds and, in the case of agri-food businesses, transitioning from small-scale to large-scale production, were identified as potential obstacles by the survey. “Food processing is a possibility,” Richards said. “There is help out there for anybody who wants to get a foodprocessing business going and they should try and assist anybody who’s trying to do that.” astockford@farmmedia.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Too small to bother?

here’s been lots of talk in the news lately about financially troubled corporations and how their plights are handled by governments. For example, the Quebec-based aerospace and mass-transit company Bombardier has been the subject of controversy after it proceeded to give 50 per cent pay increases to senior executives shortly after receiving yet another Gord Gilmour taxpayer-funded bailout, this time in Editor the amount of $3.7 billion. It doesn’t help, as columnist Andrew Coyne noted in a recent article in the National Post, that its board of directors is fairly stuffed with family members of executive chairman Pierre Beaudoin. He stood to gain $5 million personally, until the compensation was deferred a couple of years in the face of public outrage. Much of the outrage was fuelled by the fact that, as it was preparing to open the money taps for its executives, the company remained mired in the muck and was shedding thousands of rank-and-file employees. It speaks to a certain arrogance that large companies cultivate over time, especially those that are, for one reason or another, deemed ‘too big’ to fail by the political class. It’s a variation on that old saying that “If you owe a bank $100, that’s your problem. If you owe a bank a million dollars, that’s their problem.” Consider the curious case of the Big Three automakers during the 2008 financial crisis. Two of the three companies were actively circling the drain at the time, and only Ford had any time on the clock through the blind luck of having finalized a long-term credit deal only days before the wheels came off the financial system. Calling for a bailout, the CEOs of all three companies were called before the U.S. Congress to testify on the need for public funds. All three arrived, separately it is worth noting, in private jets. Apologists for this sort of behaviour will attempt to brush it off as the cost of attracting the top talent it takes to run a modern business. What they also brush off is the fact that if they’re appearing, hat in hand, before government seeking a handout, these ‘leaders’ might not be all they’re cracked up to be. By contrast, consider the plight of Canadian Prairie Garden Purees, a small startup company with big ideas, based in Portage la Prairie. Recently, that company’s secured creditors requested and were granted court protection and the future of the company remains in doubt. Affected growers say that not only will their farms take an immediate hit from loss of market and unpaid accounts receivables, but the sector itself will be knocked off stride. Many have noted that this company has come up with a truly innovative process that shows big promise. It creates a high-value food-processing ingredient from vegetables that would otherwise go to compost. It potentially adds value to the farm economy as well as the rural economy through job creation. In fact, it is so novel, that a case study on the company conducted by the Rural Development Institute at Brandon University concluded “that it was a disruptive innovation that required other innovations along the supply chain in order to make it successful.” “In order for Canadian Prairie Garden to reach its long-term production goals it must build its own facility. This is a very expensive and time-consuming process, which will balance increasing sales with production capacity,” the study said. In other words, it’s one thing to have a good idea and product. It’s another to finance the development of it and the growth of a company. The idea of public involvement has been floated but it seems when it comes to support for agriculture and food, governments are reluctant to invest. That raises the prospect of the company shutting down altogether, or its technology being swooped up by outside interests and taken someplace else. Farm income support programs, for example, are constantly being tweaked to ensure they offer income protection in the face of uncontrollable circumstances but not personal enrichment. Spend much time around these discussions and sooner or later you’ll hear about the need to protect the public purse from “moral hazard,” a term that almost certainly has never been applied in consideration of support to the likes of Bombardier. Rather, it seems these small startup companies are viewed by politicians as ‘too small to bother.’ Yet, these small- to medium-size enterprises are vital to this country’s economic growth. They will be key to the federal government’s much-hyped target to grow the Canadian economy through the agriculture and food sector. A relatively small investment to help this company through its growing pains could pay off in spades over the long term. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

There goes the neighbourhood BY ALAN GUEBERT Farm & Food

armers and ranchers pride themselves on neighbourliness, and rightly so. Rare is the season, after all, when the local newspaper or radio station doesn’t carry a lump-inthe-throat story explaining how neighbours of an ill or injured member of a farm or ranch family gathered for a day or two to do a month or two’s worth of planting or harvesting, rebuilding or hauling, vaccinating or milking, baling or feeding. And that aided neighbour would do the same; in fact, probably already has. That’s how it works where folks are neighbours and neighbours are a community. A generation or so ago, it worked that way with farm, ranch, and commodity groups, too. Most preached unity, the need for all to join together so that all moved forward together. No one got ahead unless we all got ahead. That culture of togetherness, however, hasn’t aged well in the age of Big Ag and Big Agbiz. Farm and ranch groups, just like the urban and political world, are now less social and more tribal. Many tightly grip a “we’re-right, you’rewrong” view of farm and food technology, policy, and their customers. Some have moved from representing the middle-ground consensus of their farmers, ranchers, and neighbours to advocating for individual “production links” in the “supply chain.” For example, reported DTN, on March 24 “(m)ajor livestock and meat-packer groups,” asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture “to withdraw proposed rule changes to the Packers and Stockyards Act.” One of the rules these groups asked USDA to kill “... would ensure packers cannot retaliate against producers who show their contracts to legal counsel.”

OUR HISTORY:

Why would any livestock group oppose a sensible, necessary rule that allows American cattle and hog growers to seek legal advice without fear of retaliation? Leaders of the groups, “the NCBA (National Cattlemen’s Beef Association) and the NPPC,” explained DTN, said the rules would lead to meat packers paying one price for all U.S. cattle. That’s an absurd and ridiculous claim with no factual basis — other than a bought-and-paid-for study that went unchallenged. Roger Johnson, president of National Farmers Union, however, supported the Farmer Fair Practice rules and labelled today’s opaque, contract-dominated poultry, cattle, and hog sectors a “system of indentured servitude...” Just a few days earlier, the biggest farm group in the U.S., the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), quietly endorsed a House of Representatives’ plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare. The AFBF announcement didn’t mention that several of its state affiliates own and operate regional, rural-focused insurance companies that might benefit, some handsomely, if the entire ACA was repealed and no federal replacement took its place. After receiving the AFBF announcement, one Capitol Hill observer forwarded it with the note, “AFBF to Rural America: drop dead.” Hyperbole aside, the quip stings because it hits too close to home. There was a time when what was good for rural America was good for farmers and farm groups. We’ve now flipped that to read: What’s good for farm groups might be good for farmers and rural America. Many farm and commodity groups are often viewed as anti-customer, anti-environment, and anti-neighbour bottom-line grubbers. Are they? Ask your neighbour.

April 1997

his photo of earthmoving equipment heading to shore up dikes south of Winnipeg ran in our April 24, 1997 issue, which was three weeks after the record April 5 blizzard that led to “The flood of the century.” A less well-remembered effect of that blizzard was its effect south of the border. We reported that more than 100,000 cattle in North and South Dakota had died from being trapped in snowdrifts, and more losses were expected for the calf crop. Wheat futures prices had jumped due to an eightmonth high due to a hard frost in Kansas the previous week, with losses estimated at 150 million bushels (four million tonnes). U.S. farmers had other concerns. We reported on a meeting of 350 farmers in Minot, North Dakota who were concerned about imports of Canadian grain and cattle. There were complaints from farmers who said they had to wait in line behind Canadian trucks at their local elevators. Many blamed the problem on the Canadian Wheat Board, and they were supported by some Farmers for Justice members who held another meeting with U.S. farmers to say they also opposed the CWB. We also reported that Saskatchewan Wheat Pool was in expansion mode, announcing construction of a grain-handling facility at Northgate, North Dakota and the later ill-fated terminal at Manzanillo, Mexico. It also had plans, which were never completed, to jointly build a terminal at Roberts Bank near Vancouver.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Healthy soil is the real key to feeding the world It’s sustainability, not one production system or the other, that is the real solution BY DAVID R. MONTGOMERY University of Washington

ne of the biggest modern myths about agriculture is that organic farming is inherently sustainable. It can be, but it isn’t necessarily. After all, soil erosion from chemical-free tilled fields undermined the Roman Empire and other ancient societies around the world. Other agricultural myths hinder recognizing the potential to restore degraded soils to feed the world using fewer agrochemicals. When I embarked on a six-month trip to visit farms around the world to research my forthcoming book, Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life, the innovative farmers I met showed me that regenerative farming practices can restore the world’s agricultural soils. In both the developed and developing worlds, these farmers rapidly rebuilt the fertility of their degraded soil, which then allowed them to maintain high yields using far less fertilizer and fewer pesticides. Their experiences, and the results that I saw on their farms in North and South Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ghana and Costa Rica, offer compelling evidence that the key to sustaining highly productive agriculture lies in rebuilding healthy, fertile soil. This journey also led me to question three pillars of conventional wisdom about today’s industrialized agrochemical agriculture: that it feeds the world, is a more efficient way to produce food and will be necessary to feed the future.

Myth 1: Large-scale agriculture feeds the world today

Letters

According to a recent UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) report, family farms produce over three-quarters of the world’s food. The FAO also estimates that almost three-quarters of all farms worldwide are smaller than one hectare – about 2.5 acres, or the size of a typical city block. Only about one per cent of Americans are farmers today. Yet most of the world’s farmers work the land to feed themselves and

their families. So while conventional industrialized agriculture feeds the developed world, most of the world’s farmers work small family farms. A 2016 Environmental Working Group report found that almost 90 per cent of U.S. agricultural exports went to developed countries with few hungry people. Of course the world needs commercial agriculture, unless we all want to live on and work our own farms. But are large industrial farms really the best, let alone the only, way forward? This question leads us to a second myth.

Myth 2: Large farms are more efficient Many high-volume industrial processes exhibit efficiencies at large scale that decrease inputs per unit of production. The more widgets you make, the more efficiently you can make each one. But agriculture is different. A 1989 National Research Council study concluded that “wellmanaged alternative farming systems nearly always use less synthetic chemical pesticides, fertilizers, and antibiotics per unit of production than conventional farms.” And while mechanization can provide cost and labour efficiencies on large farms, bigger farms do not necessarily produce more food. According to a 1992 agricultural census report, small, diversified farms produce more than twice as much food per acre than large farms do. Even the World Bank endorses small farms as the way to increase agricultural output in developing nations where food security remains a pressing issue. While large farms excel at producing a lot of a particular crop – like corn or wheat – small diversified farms produce more food and more kinds of food per hectare overall.

Myth 3: Conventional farming is necessary to feed the world We’ve all heard proponents of conventional agriculture claim that organic farming is a recipe for global starvation because it produces lower yields. The most extensive yield comparison to date, a 2015 meta-

What’s in a definition? The provincial government is changing the rule book for new hog barns. In sneaky ways. One such example is the proposed change to the definition of “surface watercourse.” The rule book tells us that “thou shalt not build a hog manure lagoon within 100 metres of a surface watercourse.” That makes sense since if it leaks you don’t want that stuff in the creek. Currently this definition includes any river, stream, creek, field drain, slough, dugout, reservoir, wetland, marsh and so on, whether containing water full time, seasonally or once in a while, that crosses the barn owner’s property line. This is a very wellcrafted, precise and all-encompassing definition designed to protect surface water to the greatest extent possible.

analysis of 115 studies, found that organic production averaged almost 20 per cent less than conventionally grown crops, a finding similar to those of prior studies. But the study went a step further, comparing crop yields on conventional farms to those on organic far ms where cover crops were planted and crops were rotated to build soil health. These techniques shrank the yield gap to below 10 per cent. The authors concluded that the actual gap may be much smaller, as they found “evidence of bias in the meta-dataset toward studies reporting higher conventional yields.” In other words, the basis for claims that organic agriculture can’t feed the world depends as much on specific farming methods as on the type of farm. Consider too that about a quarter of all food produced worldwide is never eaten. Each year the United States alone throws out 133 billion pounds of food, more than enough to feed the nearly 50 million Americans who regularly face hunger. So even taken at face value, the oft-cited yield gap between conventional and organic farming is smaller than the amount of food we routinely throw away.

Building healthy soil Conventional farming practices that degrade soil health undermine humanity’s ability to continue feeding everyone over the long run. Regenerative practices like those used on the farms and ranches I visited show that we can readily improve soil fertility on both large farms in the U.S. and on small subsistence farms in the tropics. I no longer see debates about the future of agriculture as simply conventional versus organic. In my view, we’ve oversimplified the complexity of the land and underutilized the ingenuity of farmers. I now see adopting farming practices that build soil health as the key to a stable and resilient agriculture. And the farmers I visited had cracked this code, adapting no-till methods, cover cropping and complex rotations to their particular soil, envi-

The consultation document on the proposed changes to the rule book, speaks of needing to change this definition of surface watercourse. But it does not tell us how. Unless you ask, which I did. Turns out the proposal is to remove “whether continuously or intermittently” and to add “and does not include ephemeral field drains that can be cropped.” Small change with a large and dangerous potential impact. The “intermittently” part of the current definition is the part that brings in the seasonal and once-in-a-while watercourses. They don’t have to be flowing full time to transport leaked manure off the property. Then the plan is to exclude “ephemeral drains that can be cropped.” You know those ephemeral drains – the ones you sow right through in a dry spring, and stay well away from when the place is like a swamp. I don’t like this proposed change.

ronmental and socio-economic conditions. Whether they were organic or still used some fertilizers and pesticides, the farms I visited that adopted this transformational suite of practices all reported harvests that consistently matched or exceeded those from neighbouring conventional farms after a short transition period. Another message was as simple as it was clear: Farmers who restored their soil used fewer inputs to produce higher yields, which translated into higher profits. No matter how one looks at it, we can be certain that agriculture will soon face another revolution. For agriculture today runs on abundant, cheap oil for fuel and to make fertilizer – and our supply of cheap oil will not last forever. There are already enough people on the planet that we have less than a year’s supply of food for the global population on hand at any one time. This simple fact has critical implications for society. So how do we speed the adoption of a more resilient agriculture? Creating demonstration farms would help, as would carrying out systemscale research to evaluate what works best to adapt specific practices to general principles in different settings. We also need to reframe our agricultural policies and subsidies. It makes no sense to continue incentivizing conventional practices that degrade soil fertility. We must begin supporting and rewarding farmers who adopt regenerative practices. Once we see through myths of modern agriculture, practices that build soil health become the lens through which to assess strategies for feeding us all over the long haul. Why am I so confident that regenerative farming practices can prove both productive and economical? The farmers I met showed me they already are. David R.

Why would you throw out a perfectly clear and irrefutable definition as it is now, that provides maximum environmental protection, for a wishywashy one that is open to all kinds of interpretation?

FROM PAGE ONE WATER RISES Continued from page 1

He noted that dikes were frozen, increasing holding capacity. Farther west, sandbagging was underway in Brandon ahead of the Assiniboine River’s expected crest. The City of Brandon’s Emergency Response Team was monitoring water levels, which reached 1,178,68 feet above sea level as of mid-morning April 9. The river is expected to reach 1,180 feet above sea level at its peak, the province has said. Flood protection was put in place along Provincial Road 459 and the eastern end of the city along the river. Less sandbagging was required this year than in previous flood years, Greg Brown, volunteer co-ordinator, said. About 35 volunteers spent over two hours placing about 3,000 sandbags on a property on the easternmost limits of the city April 9. “This was one of the only properties in Brandon that was at risk,” Brown said. “It’s outside the primary dike system, so we had to build a sandbag dike around it.” The temporary wall was about three feet shorter than in either 2014 or 2011, Brown said. Temporary dams were also placed on the city’s First Street river crossing. The city does not anticipate any evacuations due to flood water.

“Basically what’s happened is it’s stopped normal waters from being able to get into the Assiniboine River that would normally disappear before the high river levels came through. The ice jams created artificially high levels and local water cannot get away.” Kam Blight

The City of Brandon also warned the public to stay away from the river and off dikes, as it might obstruct heavy machinery and construction crews. Flood warnings remained in effect along the upper Assiniboine River from the Shellmouth Dam to Holland and on all points along the Souris River through the weekend. The town of Souris saw falling water levels April 5-6 as ice floes subsided. Souris Mayor Darryl Jackson said the town was told to expect the river to crest between April 8-10, earlier than the initial April 9-13 forecast. “At this point, we’re in good

shape,” he said. “We’re watching a couple of homes along the river, but at this point the water is well below threatening.” All flood watches along the Plum Creek were lifted April 7, although Souris’s Victoria Park remained under water as the creek backed up from the Souris River.

High water on lakes Cottage owners on Pelican Lake were keeping a wary eye to the water as outflows hit capacity late in the week. “Inflows to the lake have crested,” the province reported April 7.

“However, there is still a large volume of water to come and the lake is projected to rise high enough that flood protection will be required for properties around the lake.” Rock, Oak and Dauphin lakes also remained under flood warning into the weekend. The Pembina River, which made headlines in late March when flood waters closed the international border between Gretna and Neche, was expected to crest a second time over the weekend. Equipment was on standby as of April 7 in Gretna in case another partial dike closure was required.

RM of Portage la Prairie reeve

Wes Unrau, chief administrator of the RM of Pembina to the west, said some sandbagging was required in La Rivière and the municipality saw some overland flooding, which has subsided. “It went across a couple of roads, nothing too terrible,” he said. “I understand that the Pembina has crested over the banks in a couple of spots.” Flows along the Red River crested April 5 while flood warnings and watches were lifted along the La Salle and Morris rivers soon after. astockford@farmmedia.com

VALUES Continued from page 1

GIC, according to Farm Credit Canada. Land prices here, which have been rising steadily since 1992, on average gained 12 per cent in both 2015 and 2014. But after four years of annual double-digit increases, Manitoba farmland appreciated 8.1 per cent last year, just slightly higher than the Canadian average increase of 7.9 per cent, FCC says in its 2016 Farmland Values Report. “The rate of increase continues to slow down and we continue to think about that soft landing that we have been talking about for a number of years now,” FCC’s chief agricultural economist J.P. Gervais told reporters during a technical briefing April 6. Farm cash receipts, the main factor driving farmland prices, have fallen from peaks set in 2012 and 2013. Those years saw 19.5 and 14.3 per cent increases in the value of Canadian farmland and a jaw-dropping 25.6 per cent increase both years in Manitoba. Although the final numbers aren’t in, FCC expects 2016 Canadian crop receipts to be up two per cent; Manitoba’s and Alberta’s are forecast to rise 14 and six per cent, respectively, despite challenging growing conditions. Saskatchewan’s 2016 crop receipts are predicted to drop six per cent as bad weather downgraded crops and prevented farmers from harvesting some crop last fall.

Still buying Despite the less bright outlook for Saskatchewan, FCC has been doing a brisk business lending money for farmland purchases so far this year, said Scott Sahulka, FCC’s senior director of valuation and environmental risk. While he couldn’t say if Saskatchewan land values will rise as much in 2017, so far “things aren’t selling any cheaper.” A year ago FCC predicted Canadian farmland values would rise two to four per cent in 2016. Gervais said while he was surprised they turned out to be twice that, it fits with the higher-than-forecast crop receipts farmers are expected to earn. FCC predicts Canadian farmland values will, on average, rise three to four per cent in 2017, assuming stable crop receipts and interest rates and a 75-cent Canadian dollar. FCC monitors farmland in 51 regions, estimating market value using comparable arm’s-length sales. Because land prices vary significantly, FCC measures land value trends using a percentage instead of price per acre. In 2016 just seven regions didn’t see land values rise, Gervais said. While FCC pegs the average increase in Manitoba farmland values at 8.1 per cent in 2016, it breaks down the province into five regions. The biggest increase — 11 per cent — was in Central Plains-Pembina Valley, despite weather challenges. “The increase was mainly due to private land transactions between landlords and renters, along with some tendered sales,” the FCC report says. Values were up eight per cent in the Interlake, mainly based on sales in the southern part of the region. Land values in the north Interlake were unchanged. “The increase in the south was influenced by some supply management sector expansions, while larger producers accounted for most of the land sales in the north,” the report says.

“Sales throughout the region were supported by good growing conditions for soybeans, wheat and canola.” In Westman land values rose 7.3 per cent driven by increased acreage for higher-priced soybeans, as well as good-quality corn and potato crops. The Parkland and Eastman regions saw a 6.8 and 4.3 per cent increase, respectively. Although the increase in Manitoba’s farmland value last year is lower than in 2015, 12.4 per cent, it’s still a strong result given provincial comparisons are a weighted average, Gervais said. “It is actually quite significant, that 8.1 per cent (increase), and part of the reason is the expansion of soybeans,” he said. “I would say that it is still a fairly, fairly strong market for farmland in Manitoba.” Manitoba farmland value increase was the fifth highest in Canada. The biggest jump — 13.4 per cent — was in Prince Edward Island, followed by Alberta, Nova Scotia and British Columbia with increases of 9.5, 9.1 and 8.2 per cent, respectively. That was followed by Quebec, Saskatchewan, Ontario and New Brunswick at 7.7, 7.5, 4.4. and 1.9 per cent, respectively.

“The rate of increase continues to slow down and we continue to think about that soft landing that we have been talking about for a number of years now.” J.P. Gervais

There wasn’t enough data to assess Newfoundland-Labrador land values.

Future bright Despite the slower increase in Canadian farmland values, Gervais is still upbeat about Canadian agriculture. “I believe the demand for Canadian ag products remains really strong both at home and abroad,” he said. “That is supported by a low Canadian dollar, low interest rates as well. From a producer’s standpoint you don’t want to be overly confident about what the markets are going to bring.

“The bottom line is we also have realistic expectations... We’ve basically doubled cash receipts mostly across the country... but I think it would be a little bit unrealistic to expect the next 10 (years) are going to be like the last 10. Yes, I am absolutely confident that we can sustain farmland values that we have seen and recorded in 2016 if indeed we are able to sustain farm income. That is the critical variable to monitor as we move forward.” In contrast, farmland values in the United States have been falling. Gervais blames a 30 per cent drop in U.S. farm income in

three years. And based on current price projections American farmers won’t be profitable in 2017, he said. Canada’s lower dollar has helped shield Canadian farmers, he said. Although western Canadian farm income has been weakening, farmers are still generally financially strong, Gervais said. The debt-to-asset ratio is lower than the long-term average, which means farmers will have more flexibility with lenders should revenues fall more than expected. “So I think we are still in a very strong financial position, liquidity position, if you look at working capital as the first line of defence, is very strong on the Prairies given the amazing years we have had over the last five, six, seven years. I think that is reassuring from the standpoint if we do indeed see the Canadian dollar appreciate... or a bit of a softening from an income standpoint given our strong financial position.” FCC doesn’t expect a higher Canadian dollar or rise in interest rates in 2017, although borrowing costs could increase later this year, Gervais said. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Most Canadian farmers saw higher farmland values Prince Edward Island saw the largest annual increase in the country BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

rovincial farmland values, on average, were all up in 2016, except for Newfoundland-Labrador, where there was insufficient data. Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) saw the largest jump at 13.4 per cent. “The main reason for the increases was farming enterprises wanting to gain additional acres to supplement crop rotation cycles and for additional feed production,” Farm Credit Canada says in its 2016 Farmland Values Report. “The large amount of land sold, as well as the prices these sales generated, placed continued pressure on farmland values. Increases were even seen in marginal or outlying areas, as well as parcels that were difficult to work or had an inferior soil type.” FCC says some farmers from other provinces sold their operations to buy entire farm operations in P.E.I., to take advantage of less expensive land prices. “This may be an indication that P.E.I. land prices were still relatively low compared to other Atlantic provinces, prior to the sharp 2016 increase.” Although P.E.I. saw the big-

“The 17.7 per cent increase was due to continued expansion by local producers, as well as some demand driven by increased interest in rural property. Moderate commodity yields and prices later in the season tempered the farmland market.” FCC report

gest jump in land values provincially, the biggest regional jump was 17.7 per cent in B.C.’s South Coast region, which includes the Fraser Valley. The region saw an aboveaverage number of farmland sales in the first half of the year, the FCC report says. “The 17.7 per cent increase was due to continued expansion by local producers, as well as some demand driven by increased interest in rural property. Moderate commodi-

ty yields and prices later in the season tempered the farmland market.” Alberta saw the secondhighest increase in farmland values in 2016, driven mainly by sales in the northern region, which saw values increase by 11.8 per cent, the report says. “Land sales took place mostly through auction sales or sealed bids, as grain producers continued to compete for less productive land,” the report says.

Land values in Alberta’s south region jumped nine per cent. “Larger farms continued to expand, creating strong demand for all types of land in all areas of the southern region,” the report says. “Irrigation in the southern region also provided contract opportunities for specialty crops and investment by non-typical buyers, who commonly lease back to area growers.” The Peace region saw the

province’s smallest average increase at 7.7 per cent. “Some adverse weather, as well as depressed oil and gas prices, placed downward pressure on farmland values, while large farm expansion and competition between beef and grains sectors in some areas helped boost the value of marginal cultivated forage or pasture acres,” the report says. While on average Saskatchewan farmland values rose 7.5 per cent, the southwest region saw land appreciate by 16.6 per cent, in the wake of steady demand. “Although there were challenges with the lentil harvest, the resulting yields and quality ended up being better than expected,” the report says. The northwest region continued to see strong demand and increased prices throughout the year, resulting in a 10.3 per cent increase in farmland values, the report says. “Areas with larger farm operations continued to compete for land that came up for sale, causing land values to increase.” Land prices in the eastcentral and southeast region didn’t change in 2016, the report says.

Four-year-old passenger dies in ATV accident

Science gets profile, few details, in budget

Incident underscores the risks associated with carrying passengers and driving uneven terrain, say safety officials

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

four-year-old’s death in an ATV accident this spring is a warning for others how unsafe riding one of these vehicles on uneven t e r ra i n c a n b e, s a y s a f e t y officials. Steinbach RCMP received a report April 5 that a female child had been taken to local hospital by her father with injuries sustained in an offroad vehicle collision. The 32-year-old father told officers his daughter had been seated in front of him while they were travelling up a hill on an ATV, when it flipped over backwards and continued rolling down the hill. The father was unhurt but the child later died from her injuries, The incident occurred in the Marchand area, off o f Tw i n R i v e r R o a d a n d Provincial Road 210. Larr y Redmond, director of road safety with Manitoba Safety Services, which offers educational programs for safe handling of ATVs, said this is the kind of thing he and his colleague brace to hear about every spring. People want to get out and enjoy riding their machines but so many things can go wrong, said Redmond. Incidents involving passengers are all too common, he said. “It’s ver y tragic. We hear about it a lot.” Manitoba Public Insurance notes that many injuries occur from multiple riders because passengers disrupt the balance and stability of the machine. This particular incident also points to the heightened risk associated with driving hills and rough terrain, Redmond said. “You have to be a very experienced rider to know how to handle a hill,” he said. MSS offers courses in safe handling of ATVs that covers things like braking and balancing, traversing hills and riding on uneven terrain, he said. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Any attention paid to research is good for agriculture, says the CEO of the Agriculture Institute of Canada BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

he recent federal budget gives science and research more attention than usual — but details on new funding remain to be decided on, says Serge Buy, CEO of the Agriculture Institute of Canada. The budget did allocate $80 million over five years to replace the Centre for Plant Health in Sidney, B.C. with a new research facility to support agri-food safety. It will assist trade and national economic growth and Buy said the move is good news for agri-food. At the same time, questions remain about the long-term future of other research facilities that were underfunded by the previous government, he said. “Overall, the budget contains some very good news,” he said. While it will take time for the decisions on many announce-

ments to be reached, “things are shaping up well.” While a lot of funds were announced in the budget, there will still have to be plenty of discussion and consultation before the money is spent, Buy said. “Choices will have to be made before we see who gets what,” Buy said. The AIC will be ready to pitch its ideas once the budget bill is passed. Among the decisions is an independent review, announced last year, on funding for fundamental science and research. It will report sometime this year. Then the government will decide which of its proposals it will implement. Then there’s the appointment of a Chief Science Officer announced in 2016 and still to be filled. The CSO will have a secretariat and a $2-million-a-year operating budget. The government has decided the CSO will advise the prime minister and minister of science instead of reporting directly to

“Overall, the budget contains some very good news.” Serge Buy CEO, Agriculture Institute of Canada

Parliament as originally proposed. That means the CSO won’t have the independence of the Parliamentary Budget Officer. Also in the works for this year is a new federal science infrastructure strategy for the government. It will review existing federal labs and related facilities and recommend what’s needed for the future. No timeline for that report was set. Also in line for a review is the National Research Council’s funding and its innovation support activities. The science innovation strategy will examine the existing federal science infrastructure, “including federal laboratories

and testing facilities, and provide a road map for future investments. The strategy will offer a more integrated and effective approach to federal laboratories, information technology and human resources in the federal science community, and will seek to ensure that federal scientists have access to the worldclass infrastructure, innovative equipment and computer networks they need to produce the best results for Canadians.” The National Research Council will have its funding set at $59.6 million for the current fiscal year to support its business innovation initiatives. “As part of the review, the government will also examine what future role the NRC could play in supporting innovation, creating more opportunities for women researchers and innovators, and supporting mission-driven, breakthrough research in collaboration with the new Impact Canada Fund,” the science strategy reads.

ids on Manitoba cattle remained strong during the week ended April 7, as farmers cleaned out their pens and took leftover cattle and other animals that had been backgrounding to market. Roughly 11,500 head were shown at the province’s eight major stockyards. “We’re seeing cattle that were small in the fall; now it’s time for them to go,” said Allan Munroe of Killarney Auction Mart. “It’s the time of year those odds and ends sell better than any other time.” Bids for feeder cattle remained particularly strong, with lighter animals continuing to enjoy a lot of interest. “The lightweights have certainly gone higher percentage-wise than the big cattle,” said Munroe. However, slaughter animals drew strong bids as well. Butcher cows were $2-$3 higher per hundredweight, with top-end cows ranging as high as $107. “Hamburger season must be coming up because cows have come up dramatically and bulls have really taken on a new life,” he said. At the Killarney stockyards, Munroe said, bulls went as high as $137/cwt during last week’s auction. “It’s certainly nice to see when guys are in bull season and start getting more value out of them than they were expecting,” he noted. However, Munroe said, it’s tough to say for sure what is driving the market these days. He pointed out the move higher comes at a time when many analysts expected it to head the opposite way.

allan munroe Killarney Auction Mart

One thing that might be helping out, he said, is the scandal that’s gripped the Brazilian beef market. In late March, a criminal probe was launched into allegations some food safety inspectors in the country were given bribes to allow the sale of poor-quality meat. At least two dozen countries temporarily halted imports of beef from Brazil as a result. Canada doesn’t service the same markets as Brazil, Munroe said, but it could still open new markets for Canadian beef. Still, he said, the factors behind the rise are murky. “I don’t know for sure if it’s anything to do with Brazil; the climb was happening before the Brazil issue came to light.” As for weather, heavy snow over the winter and spring rain have soaked much of southwestern Manitoba, with flood warnings given to some regions. Munroe said the area around Killarney is also damp but he thinks it’ll be OK. “Right around here, if we don’t have any significant rainfall, we’re going to be in pretty good shape,” he said. “If you get farther west, you’re hearing different stories about multiple roads washed out.” Some of the pens in the region are still a bit muddy as well, he said.

To meet increasing demand for meat raised without certain antibiotics, top U.S. chicken company Tyson Foods Inc. and rival producers are turning to sanitizing wipes, bacteria-reducing fog and even oregano to keep birds healthy. Some have spent years of trial and error on new techniques to figure out replacements for human drugs, part of a fight against the rise of dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria in people.

the door for smaller chains to follow KFC’s move, he told Reuters. KFC, which sells more than 65 million buckets of chicken a year, estimated that one-third of its suppliers were already transitioning to chicken raised with fewer antibiotics. The company said it was late to shift away from human antibiotics because it had to persuade suppliers of bone-in chickens it uses to make the change. The chain typically only buys up to one-third of birds in a flock because the others do not meet its specifications. That meant its suppliers needed to find other buyers before being able to curb use of the drugs to satisfy KFC, the company said.

Yum Brands Inc.’s KFC became the last of the big three U.S. chicken restaurants to move away from antibiotics important to human medicine in an April 7 announcement. McDonald’s and privately held Chick-fil-A had already made similar commitments. Nationwide, more than 42 per cent of the U.S. chicken industry has already committed to reducing the use of antibiotics, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. With KFC’s move, that number is set to grow. KFC U.S. president Kevin Hochman called the chain’s move a “major milestone” that should significantly increase the supply of bonein chicken raised without medically important antibiotics.

Canola remains rangebound as new-crop outlook fuzzy

Average quotes as of April 10, 2017 ($/tonne)

Charts suggest U.S. soybeans are still pointed lower Phil-Franz Warkentin CNSC

CE Futures Canada canola contracts fell to their lowest levels in more than six months on April 3, but bounced off those lows and were higher overall by the close on April 7. A bearish reaction to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s prospective plantings and quarterly stocks reports sent soybeans in a tailspin lower, and that selling spilled into canola. Soybeans received added pressure from the advancing South American harvest and the consistently rising production estimates out of the continent. USDA forecast U.S. soybean seedings this year at a record 89.5 million acres, which would be up from 83.4 million in 2016. In addition, old-crop stocks as of March 1, at 1.73 billion bushels, were considered large. While the big-picture issues of big world oilseed supplies may cast a bearish pall over the canola market, the commodity still has a few supportive influences of its own. Demand remains very strong, with both exporters and domestic crushers running well ahead of the year-ago level. At the same time, supplies are tightening, with market participants still unsure just how much canola that was left to overwinter across the Prairies will be salvaged. Statistics Canada releases its own acreage projections on April 20, and early trade guesses place canola acres at anywhere from about 20 million to 22 million acres. That would com-

pare with the 20.4 million acres seeded to the crop in 2016. The seasonal uncertainty ahead of spring seeding should keep canola relatively rangebound over the next few weeks, until market participants get a better handle on the newcrop situation. From a chart standpoint, the May canola contract hit a six-month low of $473.70 on April 3. On the other side, the psychological $500-pertonne level marks a nearby upside target. In the U.S., May soybeans touched a contract low of US$9.365 per bushel during the week, but managed to consolidate right above that level. The path of least resistance likely remains pointed lower for soybeans, with the weekly charts suggesting a move to US$9 or lower is possible. On the other side, if there is a corrective bounce, US$9.50 should provide nearby resistance, with the next upside target at US$10. Corn futures trended lower during the week, as an initial bullish reaction to USDA’s acreage report gave way to ideas that actual corn seedings may not end up as small as the government agency reported. USDA forecast U.S. corn acres in 2017 at just under 90 million, which would be down significantly from the 94 million acres seeded in 2017. However, there is still time to swing some area from beans into corn. Wheat, meanwhile, is looking at record-low acres in the U.S. However, improving crop conditions across most of the winter wheat-growing regions of the country kept prices trending lower in all three U.S. wheat futures markets.

CWRS bids continue downward slide across Prairies Winter wheat futures in the U.S. have been holding steady BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN CNS Canada

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada continued to trend lower during the week ended April 7, posting losses for the third straight week as declines in Minneapolis futures weighed on prices. However, other wheat classes posted gains, as winter wheat futures in the U.S. held steady. Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were down by $2-$4 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 $218 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $237 in northern Alberta.

The July spring wheat contract in Minneapolis was quoted April 7 at US$5.2625 per bushel, down 16 U.S. cents from the previous week.

Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but generally improved to range from about $28 to $47 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$162 to US$177 per tonne. That would put the currency-

adjusted basis levels at about US$13$28 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 $17 to $38 below the futures. Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were up by $2-$5 per tonne, with prices ranging from $156 to $169 per tonne. Average durum prices were up by $2-$4 per tonne, with bids in

Saskatchewan coming in at about $254-$258 per tonne. The July spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts in Canada are based, was quoted April 7 at US$5.2625 per bushel, down 16 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 July K.C. wheat contract was quoted April 7 at US$4.3425 per bushel, up 0.5 U.S. cents compared to the previous week. The May Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled April 7 at US$4.3625, up by about 2.75 U.S. cents on the week. The Canadian dollar settled April 7 at 74.57 U.S. cents, down by roughly half a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart compared to the previous week.

Manitoba Bison Association awards industry leader honour Jamie Moran has been named this year’s Bill Lenton Memorial Award winner by the Manitoba Bison Association BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

amie “Malone” Moran is the latest recipient of the Bill Lenton Me m o r i a l Aw a rd f ro m t h e Manitoba Bison Association. The Russell-area bison producer, fittingly, entered the business 20 years ago by purchasing his first animal from Lenton himself. He currently keeps 60 breeding cows and 50 yearling heifers on his ranch, and he says the tough animals are uniquely suited to the challenging climate of this region. “It’s way different than any cattle operation,” Moran said. “I think it’s more efficient. The animals are suited to the area more.” Fellow bison producers say there’s little doubt in the industry why Moran was tapped for the honour, as he’s a perennial fixture in the business, bringing his own unique twist to things. “Jamie is a unique person,” said Len Epp, MBA past president, during the award presentation. “He likes to have a lot of fun. He’s always got a sense of humour to lighten the load or not make things seem so bad, but he kind of is the epitome of starting as a young producer, starting off on his own and building his herd to an award-winning bunch of animals that have performed really well. There’s never a bison event that Malone’s not at.” Based near Russell, Man., Moran has travelled across Canada to show bison and accrue breeding stock. Over the years he’s racked up a number of awards for his work. In 2009, Moran swept the bred two-year-old category at the Canadian Bison Association Show and Sale. In 2010 his animals were judged both male and female grand champions and female reserve champion at Manitoba’s provincial show. In 2012, he took home two trophies and a grand champion female title from the Canadian national show. More recently, in 2015 he won gold with his yearling heifer at the National Bison Association Gold Trophy Show in Denver, Colorado, following it up with wins in the yearling class and a grand champion yearling at the Great Spirit Bison Show and Sale in Brandon. Drawn to bison for their self-sufficiency, Moran credits Lenton with also teaching him the basics of bison production after selling him that first animal. “The quality of breeding stock has tremendously changed,” he said, thinking back to those first days. “Back when I got into it, every female was a breeding animal and so people were getting into it and prices were high and certain bison producers were selling animals that technically shouldn’t have been breeding stock.” Since then, he said, knowledge and better management practices have improved the quality of bison in Manitoba.

Moran was one of several young bison producers to be taken under Lenton’s wing.

Award recalls pioneer The Bill Lenton Memorial Award is meant to not only honour a current producer, it also keeps the memory of an early industry pioneer alive. Lenton began his bison herd near Miami, Man. and later expanded to a second location near Moosehorn, Man., when the herd grew past his ability to house it, eventually reaching 280 head. He was one of the first in Manitoba to raise domestic bison commercially, vocally promoted the fledgling industry and spearheaded both the Canadian and Manitoba Bison associations. He was called on for industry advice both in Canada and internationally, judged bison shows from Saskatchewan to Quebec and down into the United States and was instrumental in getting federal certification for bison slaughter that opened the gate for international shipping.

“He likes to have a lot of fun. He’s always got a sense of humour to lighten the load or not make things seem so bad, but he kind of is the epitome of starting as a young producer, starting off on his own and building his herd to an award-winning bunch of animals that have performed really well.” Len Epp

It was those accomplishments that drove the Manitoba Bison Association (MBA) to name an award after him following his death in 2004, and the winners have been among the industry’s top drivers of the last 13 years. It is given to “Manitoba Bison Association members who have shown dedication and commitment as well as given of their time to promote the bison industry and the MBA,” according to the MBA. “Nobody will ever be like Bill Lenton,” Epp said. “But when you’re

given an award that’s representative of his name, the industry takes note of that and they see that and they recognize that this producer has the same goals and the same drive to make the bison what Bill wanted, to be successful, an animal that’s on a comeback. We’re producing what we consider to be one of the best red meats in the country as far as healthy and flavour. We’re not trying to compete with beef. It’s just an alternative for other consumers.” astockford@farmmedia.com

Activist misrepresentations slammed by chicken farmers Chicken Farmers of Canada says video purported to be of Canadian barns appears to be recycled footage from elsewhere BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

hicken Farmers of Canada has hit back at an antianimal agriculture group’s “outrageous and unsubstantiated claims” about brutal practices on poultry farms across the country. At issue is a video distributed by Mercy for Animals, a U.S.-based group that purports to show abuse on chicken on Canadian farms. “We believe that this video footage isn’t from a Canadian chicken farm and appears to be recycled from previous propaganda campaigns that have taken place in other countries,” says CFC chairman Benoit Fontaine. “Canada’s chicken farmers are appalled by the inaccurate and irresponsible portrayal of Canadian chicken production that is being used to target retail and food-service companies.” Mercy and other groups opposed to animal agriculture practices have been using questionable information to fuel their campaigns and push an agenda to eliminate animal agriculture and shutter Canadian farms, he said. “These tactics are shameful, inaccurate, deliberately misleading, and undermine the hard work and animal welfare standards of local Canadian farmers throughout the country,” Fontaine said. Meanwhile Mercy attacked a newly released Care Code for laying hens because it doesn’t immediately phase out battery cages. It accused the National Farmed Animal Care Council for flagrantly disregarding the interests of Canadian taxpayers, consumers, grocers, and food producers, who all agreed to eliminate cruel cages years ago in developing the code. It said its undercover investigations found abuse of laying hens at factory farms across Canada, “such as Kuku Farms and Creekside Farms — suppliers to Burnbrae Farms — and Gray Ridge Farms. Confining hens in cages is one of the cruelest forms of institutionalized animal abuse in existence. Responding to caring consumers, nearly every major Canadian food company, including Tim Hortons, McDonald’s, Loblaw, Metro, Sobeys, and Walmart, has recently pledged to switch to cage-free eggs.” Egg Farmers of Canada didn’t respond directly to the charges. However, Barbara Cartwright, CEO of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies, which participated in the development of the Care Codes, said the cages are being phased out under the new Care Code. “Barren battery cages will be a thing of the past,” she said. “We’re relieved to see the tide turning on these practices even though the timeline is much longer than we’d like. But the change is actually starting right now – not in 15 years. With every year that passes, fewer and fewer hens will be in these cramped, inhumane cages.”

The current date for completing the phase-out is 2036. “The new code provides progressive standards for hen welfare in Canada,” said poultry welfare expert Dr. Ian Duncan, who is representing the Federation of Humane Societies in its development. “We worked diligently for almost four years to secure these important new welfare commitments.” EFC chairman Roger Pelissero said, “Canada’s more than 1,000 egg farmers are deeply committed to and strive for continuous improvements when it comes to the care and well-being of their hens.” The new code will “serve as a key building block to our national Animal Care Program.”

“Canada’s chicken farmers are appalled by the inaccurate and irresponsible portrayal of Canadian chicken production that is being used to target retail and food-service companies.” Benoit Fontaine Chicken Farmers of Canada

Chicken Farmers administers its Care Code through a mandatory, third-party-audited Animal Care Program across all 2,800 chicken farms in Canada. “Canadian chicken farms are run by hard-working men and women who take to heart their responsibility to uphold animal health and welfare on their farm

and share Canadian values,” Fontaine said. “They are proud ambassadors in promoting and defending their good management practices, and believe that there is no defence for the mistreatment of birds.” About 90 per cent of Canada’s chicken farms are family owned and operated and as they’re only

paid for every bird that goes to a processor, it’s good economic sense to care for their birds, CFC said. “If birds were treated in the ways described by activists, it would result in significant economic losses to the farmer,” CFC said. “The chickens are not caged and are raised without the use of steroids or hormones. The number of chicks placed in the barn is predetermined to ensure that density limits are not surpassed and as they age they continue to have room to roam. “Chicken health is continually improving. Bird mortality, condemnations, lameness, and ascites have decreased significantly over the past decades.”

Easy treatments for young calves? Modern treatments can minimize stress and handling of calves ROY LEWIS DVM Beef 911

ver the years many of the effective treatments for bacterial scours and some for pneumonia in newborn calves have been taken away from us. Other antibiotics used in conditions such as viral scours are simply precautionary to prevent secondary bacterial invasion. You all remember products such as synergistin, gentomycin and baytril which have either been discontinued or they are highly frowned for us as veterinarians prescribing them for a number of reasons I won’t get into here. Some newer veterinary products allow us to be effective in our treatment, they generally have a wide spectrum of effectiveness, most times are subcutaneous and most recently much longer-acting products have been developed. It can never be stressed enough the importance of that calf’s first suck in the first six hours of life for the transfer of immunoglobulins and natural protection from disease. We all know calves that get sick for any reason in early life even if they don’t carry forward chronic problems are often 100 or so pounds lighter than herdmates at weaning. In the past most products (antibiotics) given for sickness were daily intramuscular shots. This often meant to complete the treatment calves had to be run down and snared, cornered, trapped, leg snared, jumped or whatever means possible to give the final treatment. This alone can be stressful enough and impede the calf’s recovery. Today by selecting the right treatment regime most times the initial treatment is all that is given. If a second treatment is necessary it is given several days later depending on the efficacy of the initial treatment. Less handling results in the calves doing better and it is much easier to control biosecurity. You as the medicator are not spreading disease by handling the calves so much. Depending on the disease situation your veterinarian may or may not recommend segregation or isolation to minimize the risk of spreading it to others. Calf scours would be an example of a disease where isolation or segregation would be practised whereas navel infection is often an individual event and the calf is treated and left with its herdmates. Navel infection could point to a problem in the calving area where cleaning and disinfection could be necessary. Most of the longer-acting products give at least four days’ protection and are given subcutaneously. Newborn or young calves are often hard to find much muscle on anyways. Giving shots subcutaneously supports “Verified Beef Production” guidelines and we avoid the muscle damage intramuscular shots cause. Even some of the injectable selenium is approved for subcutaneous application nowadays. One antibiotic product “Excede” has seven days of effectiveness and

for now is approved in Canada for application at the base of the ear. One must talk to your veterinarian as with all these products it is an extremely long time before they would enter the food chain and the risk of residues affecting meat withdrawal. Meat withdrawals are then really a non-issue when treating these young calves. Specific conditions such as coccidiosis require a diagnosis as treatment is fairly specific consisting of sulfa products and intestinal protectants such as kaopectate or activated charcoal. Keep a good veterinary clientpatient relationship with your veterinarian so they can keep you updated on the latest products for treating calf issues so survival rate can be kept high. One case may lead to prevention on the rest of the herd. There are now vaccines for certain diseases such

Meat withdrawals are then really a non-issue when treating these young calves.

as pneumonia or scours which can be used on penmates to prevent spread. Good bedding and keeping the calves from being chilled also helps to ward off disease. Calves having a creep area allows them to avoid stress and find a quiet place where they can rest when the need arises. Your veterinarian may or may not prescribe prophylactic antibiotics at birth. This will depend on the disease prevalence, the confinement the calves are born under, weather conditions and many other variables too numerous to mention here. This is why you and your herd

veterinarian are the best to collectively come up with prophylactic medication if it is necessary. The most common antibiotic given prophylactically is tetracycline to try and prevent navel infection if it is a problem. As with all disease conditions of neonatal calves if incidence rises you and the herd veterinarian need to look at forms of prevention. This may encompass such things as disinfection, stricter biosecurity, immunizing the cow so protection is passed down in the colostrum, moving the calving area and/or starting a new location for recent pairs.

The big issue of calves getting sick besides the obvious death loss is, as already mentioned, calves’ weaning weight will be much lower than herdmates and that is dollars lost. They may have permanent lung or intestinal damage and are much more likely to reoccur with the same disease at a later date. This has been proven time and again with colostrum-deficient calves. Watch closely those first few weeks as many major infectious problems have been eliminated by recognizing the clinical signs early followed by aggressive treatment. The reward is healthy salable large calves come weaning time. Roy Lewis was a practising large-animal veterinarian in Westlock, Alta. for more than 30 years.

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

Low confidence in weather models Issued: Monday, April 10, 2017 · Covering: April 12 – April 19, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

urprisingly, last week’s forecast turned out to be pretty good, despite the inconsistencies in the weather models. I think the biggest problem with the forecast was the timing of the cold front that swept through the region over the week. After a nice warm day Saturday, the cold front, which was originally forecast to move through late Sunday, rushed through early Sunday bringing a very cool day with daytime highs staying below freezing in most areas. Besides the first few days of this forecast period, overall confidence in the weather models is very low. The reason for this is the lack of consistency in the model runs. The weak arctic high pressure that brought the cool start to the week will be sliding off to our east on Wednesday, while a weak area of low pressure moves in from the west. The weather models show this low falling apart as it moves across central Manitoba late Wednesday. Expect a few clouds with maybe a few light showers over central regions. This weak low should help to boost

temperatures back toward more average mid-April values. The weather models then show a much stronger area of low pressure forming to our west and tracking through north-central Manitoba late in the week. A warm front ahead of the low will bring clouds along with showers or light rain on Friday. Sunny to partly cloudy skies should prevail over southern and central regions on Saturday and Sunday, along with fairly mild temperatures. Expect daytime highs in the midto upper teens. Weak arctic high pressure will then skirt by early next week, bringing more sunshine but slightly cooler temperatures. Attention then turns to a developing area of low pressure over the western U.S. Currently, the weather models are keeping most of the precipitation from this system to our south, but we will have to keep an eye on this system#for the middle part of next week. # Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, +1 to +13 C; lows, -10 to +2 C.

This week’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies over the 30 days ending April 6. Our region has been extremely lucky as the areas with the greatest snow cover (western Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan) saw the least amount of precipitation. The only “wet” area of Manitoba was the Interlake, where near-average amounts of precipitation were recorded.

Split flow makes forecasting difficult So far this spring, our region has been dodging storm system after storm system BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

ve r t h e p a s t s e ve ra l weeks I’ve mentioned s e v e ra l t i m e s i n m y forecasts just how difficult it is to try and figure out the weather during this time of the year. Forecasting on its own is tough enough; add springtime to the mix and it begins to get darned near impossible! This is true for almost every spring, but this spring in particular is turning out to be tougher than usual to forecast. T h a t ’s n o t t o s a y t h e weather has been bad and the weather-forecasting models are not catching it. Actually, it has been the opposite. If you have been checking out the weather models on a daily basis, you might understand what I’m talking about. It’s not just Environment Canada that has been calling for sunshine tomorrow only to see a totally cloudy day and vice versa. S o, j u s t w h a t t h e h e c k is going on? Well, before I go into some of the details and try to make some sense of things, I thought I would plug my favour ite website (tropicaltidbits.com/ analysis/models). I wrote

“… forecasting is easier if we have big weather systems that help control the overall weather pattern.”

an article about this website quite a few months ago and this is still one of my go-to sites. Even my oldest son is now routinely using this site to tr y and figure out what t h e w e a t h e r w i l l b e l i k e. There are two main pieces of information I primarily use on this site. The first one is found under Precip/Moisture, and it is called MSLP + Precip (Rain/Frozen). These graphics s h ow y o u t h e l o c a t i o n o f surface highs and lows (mean sea level pressure) along with the expected amounts of precipitation in rain (green) or snow (blue) for every sixhour period out to 384 hours, or 16 days. The second one is found under Thermodynamics and is called 2m Air Temperature. This one is a little more self-explanatory as it basically shows the forecast temperatures expected near the surface — your daily highs and lows. As I pointed out earlier,

spring is traditionally a tough time of the year for forecasting. Areas to our north are still cold, while areas to our south are starting to heat up and we are stuck right in the middle. Spring is when we often see truly epic battles between these two opposing air masses and these battles can create some really big storm systems. In the past I have pointed out that forecasting is easier if we have big weather systems that help control the overall weather patter n, but in the spr ing t h e s e b i g we a t h e r m a k e r s often become very unpredictable, and due to the extreme difference in temperatures even a deviation of a few hundred kilometres can make the difference between cold, snowy weather or sunshine with nice warm temperatures.

Potential for precipitation Why am I making this such a big deal this year? Well, if

you have been following the weather models then you would know that, at least f ro m t h e we a t h e r m o d e l’s point of view, we have been dodging major storm system after major stor m system. Take last weekend, for example. As late as last Thursday most of the weather models and associated forecasts were calling for a significant storm s y s t e m t o b r i n g ra i n a n d then snow to our region late in the weekend. Even cautious Environment Canada was beginning to talk about the potential for significant precipitation over our region. Then Friday rolled around, and by the end of the day the weather models had correctly changed the forecast, calling for the storm system to once again split into two pieces, with one low crossing northern Manitoba and the other staying to our south. Over the weekend, as I watched the weather models trying to figure out the forecast for the upcoming week or two, once again the weather models were showing several strong storm systems affecting our region. These systems would start off with rain and then transition to snow as they pulled away and cold air would work in from the north. At one point it was

truly looking like we were in for a very miserable second half of the month. Late on Sunday the weather models once again started to shift these systems, keeping most of the heaviest precipitation to our south. The problem the weather models and forecasters have is with the split flow we now see across our region. There is a strong single flow coming in off of the Pacific, helping to bring storm system after storm system, but the models just can’t figure out the split flow. Usually, strong storms will wipe out the split flow, but so far this hasn’t happened. The few times it has happened, the southern stream has captured the storm, keeping it away from our region. I guess the question I have is whether we’ll continue our luck of dodging storm system after storm system, or will we finally get hit? After all, we have been about as lucky as we could be so far this spring, as far as the snowmelt goes. I know I don’t have any power over this — otherwise I would be a wealthy man — but I am keeping my fingers crossed that our luck continues. While we may not be having perfect spring weather, it could be much worse!

Farmers adjust fertility plans after tough fall W

hile spring banding of fertilizer has become more popular recently, there’s still plenty of growers putting it down in the fall. That is, unless they run into a season like last year. Many farmers throughout Manitoba struggled to just get the crop off, never mind getting their fall work done. Now they’re left with the challenge of adjusting practices to apply it this spring. It’s a challenge, but not an insurmountable one, according to Manitoba Agriculture’s John Heard. “There are a number of options for people who normally put their nitrogen on in the fall,” the soil science specialist told the Co-operator during a recent conversation. One strategy that will kill two birds with one stone is for the farmers who are facing the reality of rutted fields after a wet fall. They’re likely going to have to do at least some tillage to smooth things out, which presents an opportunity. “If they’re going to have to do some tillage to fill in the ruts, maybe banding N is part of one of those passes to level things off,” he said. “For some farmers, it’s going to be the reality this spring that they’re doing some amount of tillage.” That would be the ideal solution, Heard said, because it places the product into the soil where it’s more accessible to the crops, and prevents losses through volatilization into the atmosphere. “It also reduces immobilization through interaction with crop residue that’s on the surface,” Heard said. “As the bacteria and microbes break down and decompose the residue, they take the N and use it to break down straw. You eventually get it back, but not soon enough for crops like wheat and canola that need N early in the spring.”

Banding

Manitoba Agriculture’s John Heard says many farmers are being forced to adjust their fertility strategy after a tough fall. FILE PHOTO

Broadcasting Another well-known option is a surface application either immediately before seeding or just after. This is a fast way to get N on, with applicators able to get down as much as 1,000 acres in a single day. Of course there is the potential for loss to the atmosphere until the fertilizer is either incorporated or moved into the soil with precipitation, particularly in the case of granular applications. “Nitrogen on the surface still needs rainfall to get into the soil,”

Heard said. “That’s never a problem in Manitoba... except in 2016, when we didn’t see any rain from April 1 to after the May long weekend at Carman. It doesn’t always rain in Manitoba.” Timing is also important. For farmers looking to maximize yield potential, applications should be made on the earlier side — before the third-leaf stage or any significant elongation for cereals and prior to significant bolting for canola. Heard says he expects most farmers will use a combination

Many producers have already made the investment in sidebanding equipment that allows them to place nitrogen beside and below the seed. These include simple systems where liquid nitrogen is dispensed through a tube on the seed opener and mixed with the soil as it falls back into place over the seed, boots that apply fertilizer in a separate band and systems with a completely separate boot for fertilizer applications at the mid-row. “For the people who have this equipment, spring applications were always Plan A, and they’ll continue on with that,” Heard said. For producers considering taking the plunge now that they’re forced into shifting their applications, there are a few wrinkles that should be taken into account. First and foremost, a 1x1-inch separation between seed and fertilizer might not be large enough to ensure crop safety under Manitoba conditions. Mi d - row b a n d i n g b e t we e n ever y second row at seeding demonstrates the most reliable crop safety. Disc-type mid-row banders can achieve it with less

of methods to get their fertilizer down this season, including more in the seed row. He said most farmers are well aware there’s a tight limit to what can go down without the risk of damage to seed and seedlings. However, there may be a technological element that eases that risk. “Environmentally safe nitrogen (ESN) allows some flexibility to apply more,” Heard said. “It has a physical coating on it, that helps protect the crop. If they want to do this, and get more in the seed row, that’s an option. It’s built in some flexibility. They can’t meet all the crop’s needs, but it’s a good safe way to place it, and it’s an option we didn’t used to have.”

Tax treatment of deferred cash purchase tickets under review ‘No clear rationale’ is seen to continue grain growers’ tax deferral option STAFF

rain growers in Canada who take deferred cash purchase tickets for crops are being asked whether it’s time to get rid of the rule that allows income from those tickets to be put off to the following tax year. Tucked into federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s budget on March 22 was an announcement of public consultation, running until May 24, on the income tax deferral available to farmers holding deferred cash purchase tickets. When listed grains (wheat, oats, barley, rye, flax, canola, rapeseed) are delivered for payment at a licensed elevator, an elevator operator can issue either a cash purchase ticket or a deferred cash purchase ticket, payable in the year following the year in which the grain is delivered.

Under current tax law, a farmer who opts for a deferred cash purchase ticket is then able to include the amount of the ticket in taxable income in that following year. In its consultation announcement March 22, the government noted the tax treatment of deferred cash purchase tickets “is a departure from the general rule with respect to taxpayers (including other farmers).” Non-grain-growing taxpayers, the government said, are instead required to include the amount of a “security or other evidence of indebtedness received as payment of a currently payable debt” as income in the tax year in which it’s received. The “historical rationale” for the tax treatment of deferred cash purchase tickets “relates to international grain shipment agreements and the Canadian Wheat Board’s former position as

“Grain would end up sitting in storage on farm rather than being sold into the marketplace.” Kevin Auch Alberta Wheat Commission

the sole purchaser of listed grain in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,” the government said March 22. With the CWB’s assets now sold and the single-desk grainmarketing regime deregulated, the government said, delivery of listed grains “is now the responsibility of private business rather than the federal government.” Thus, the government said March 22, “there is arguably no longer a clear policy rationale for maintaining the tax deferral accorded to deferred cash purchase tickets received as payment for listed grains.”

Comment sought The consultation announced in the budget calls for comments from farmers and other stakeholders on “the ongoing utility, and potential elimination” of the tax deferral rule. Comment is also sought on “any appropriate transitional period or rules” that would be required if the tax rule were to be eliminated. The government asked for comments to be sent by email to consultation_tax_2017@canada.ca. The Alberta Wheat Commission on March 27 described the deferral options as

an “important cash flow management tool” which allows farmers to balance income throughout the year, avoid swings in taxation levels and deliver grain into good market opportunities. “Many farms use this tool to avoid having to choose between losing a sale that might bump them into a higher tax bracket that year, or lose the ability to maximize their revenue due to severe taxation swings,” commission chair Kevin Auch said. If farmers can’t deliver grain when market opportunities arise because of tax swings, the commission said, “Canada will miss out on sales to international competitors due to a lack of available inventory.” “Grain would end up sitting in storage on farm rather than being sold into the marketplace,” Auch said. “This disruption in cash flow is not only a loss to farmers but to the entire value chain.” fertility Continued from page 17

soil disturbance and greater moisture retention, compared to knife type. Liquid fertilizers are easier to work with than granular or ammonia applications because the equipment used to apply them is often easier to work with and simpler to modify. Anhydrous can be safely applied with side-banding and mid-row-banding equipment, so long as separation from the seed is maintained, and is a relatively low-cost source of nitrogen. One issue to watch for, however, is the risk that the gas travels through soil pores and fractures to the seed, where it can cause damage. A new tactic that’s starting to gain currency among innovative producers is banding nitrogen immediately following seeding. Years back researchers did this on a plot scale and got good results, but only lately has the technology caught up to the strategy, Heard said. “An increasing number of innovators are actually running coulter units into established cereal crops and putting down N when the crop is up because of the availability of good guidance systems,” Heard said. “It’s kind of like what they do with corn and is very interesting.” Heard noted both the late Guy Lafond of the Indian Head Research Far m and Byron Irvine of the Brandon Research Centre looked at this 10 or 15 years ago, with good results. But they flagged some technical challenges. “Now we’ve arrived,” Heard said. “The technology is at the stage that innovative farmers are doing it.” For more information on this topic, check out a fact sheet on spring fertility co-authored by Heard and University of Manitoba soil science professor, Don Flaten that’s online at the Canola Council of Canada’s CanolaWatch Website. http:// www.canolawatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/SpringN - o p t i o n s - f o r- M B - c e re a l s oilseeds-2017.pdf.

New Jersey Democrat, said Ross told lawmakers in the closeddoor session that the administration was still aiming to complete NAFTA renegotiations by the end of 2017. That time frame is viewed by some members as “ambitious,” especially because it is not clear when the administration will formally notify Congress of its intention to launch NAFTA renegotiations, Pascrell said. The notification will trigger a 90-day consultation period before substantial talks can begin. Tuesday’s meeting was a legal requirement to prepare the notification and preserve the “fast track” authority for approving a renegotiated deal with only an up-or-down vote in Congress.

“I wouldn’t exactly call this meeting as moving the ball forward very much.” Ron Kind representative, Wisconsin

President Donald Trump has long vilified NAFTA as draining millions of manufacturing jobs to Mexico, and he has vowed to quit the trade pact unless it can be renegotiated to shrink U.S. trade deficits. Lawmakers said Ross and Vaughn discussed broad negotiT:10.25” ating objectives, but did not get

into specific issues such as U.S. access to Canada’s dairy sector or rules of origin for parts used on North American-assembled vehicles. Ho u s e Wa y s a n d Me a n s Committee chairman Kevin Brady told reporters that market access, modernizing NAFTA and “holding trading partners accountable,” were key objectives articulated by Ross and Vaughn “They were very clear, they want to open access in ag, manufacturing and services as well, so they want this to be a 21stcentury agreement,” Brady said. Spokesmen for the Commerce Department and USTR were not immediately available for comment on the meeting.

Lawmakers said the administration has not settled on the form of the negotiations, whether NAFTA will remain a trilateral agreement or whether it would be split into two bilateral trade deals. “My sense is that they are not prejudging the form, they are focused on the substance of the agreement itself with Mexico and Canada,” Brady said. Some lawmakers expressed frustration that the Trump officials were short on specific answers. “I wouldn’t exactly call this meeting as moving the ball f o r w a rd ve r y m u c h ,” s a i d Representative Ron Kind, a Wisconsin Democrat.

Tech giants should join global land rights campaign Treating land insecurity like a disease will help eradicate it in the same way BY PAOLA TOTARO

“Although insecurity of tenure is not a disease, its impact is devastating...”

Thomson Reuters Foundation / WASHINGTON

lobal technology giants such as Google and Facebook must join the battle for land rights and help spearhead an international campaign to eradicate insecurity of tenure as if it were an infectious disease, land experts told a World Bank conference. Stig Enemark, professor emeritus of Land Management at Denmark’s Aalborg University, and British land reform expert Robin McLaren said only 30 per cent of the world population is protected by official land administration systems leaving the vast majority vulnerable to eviction and displacement. They said the land sector needs to be more ambitious in its goals, calling for a campaign to seek security of tenure for 80

High-tech solutions Facebook has already used artificial intelligence software to scan 14.6 billion satellite images to identify human-built structures in countries across Africa. The social media network plans to use this information to determine where drones offering Internet connections could be best deployed. The data, say experts, if shared could also be applied to property rights projects. The digital platform, Tomnod, is also using artificial intelligence (AI) powered by crowdsourcing to automatically identify features of interest in satellite and aerial imagery. Tomnod, owned by Coloradobased satellite company DigitalGlobe, has led crowdsourcing campaigns that have attracted tens of thousands of

Enemark and McLaren said at a time when some countries are turning inward and ignoring the global challenges of the 21st century, sparking renewed attention on communication and solving global land issues has become even more important. “Land professionals must not be complacent and need to rethink and reshape their message, providing clearer evidence to politicians on the benefits of their land interventions and investments,” McLaren told a panel discussion. “Global technology players such as Facebook and Google, for example, need to be encouraged to support this campaign

The United Nation’s latest set of global goals, adopted in 2015, contain six goals relating to land, including a target for all men and women to have equal rights to ownership and control over land and other forms of property by 2030. “This new agenda presents a historic and unprecedented opportunity to bring the countries and citizens of the world together to decide and embark on new paths to improve the lives of people everywhere,” McLaren said. “The perfect storm of change has arrived. The time is right to launch a global security of tenure campaign, but it requires strong political will.”

Montreal logistics firm specializing in loading pulses and grains into containers for export out of Vancouver and Montreal plans to set up shop at Prince Rupert. The Pr ince Ruper t Por t Authority on March 21 announced Ray-Mont Logistics is developing a logistics and container-loading facility at the south end of the West Coast port’s Ridley Island site, to export crops in ocean containers through Prince Rupert’s Fairview Container Terminal. The Fairview terminal is already in the midst of an expansion, due to be completed in August, meant to boost its annual volumes to 1.3 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) from 850,000 currently, the port authority said in a release. The Ray-Mont operation is expected to handle lentils, peas, beans, soybeans, flax, wheat and other crops, railed in via hopper car from Western and Central Canada and the U.S. Midwest. Ray-Mont’s 10-acre facility, when complete, is expected to employ about 40 people and will include a rail loop corridor with capacity for over 100 rail cars and a grain dumper pit. “Agricultural shippers” in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and “farther inland” are expected to send crops via rail to the RayMont site, where they would be unloaded and transferred to containers using a conveyor unloading system. Contractors are expected to start clearing the site this week at Ridley Island to have the new facility up and running this fall for the 2017-18 crop year, the port authority said.

Province ‘optimistic’ vegetable processor will reopen Receiver is working on a marketing package to pitch to potential new owners, says government spokesperson BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

he provincial government is hopeful a Manitoba vegetable processor may soon be back in business. Canadian Prairie Garden Puree Products (CPG) ceased operations March 22 when it was forced into receivership, resulting in layoffs at its Portage la Prairie plant and throwing into question the entire 2017 season for farmers supplying it. Last week a Manitoba government spokesperson said in a statement that “government staff from departments of Manitoba A g r i c u l t u r e a n d G r ow t h , Enterprise and Trade have been in contact with Canadian Prairie Garden Puree Products as options to proceed are considered.” “The receiver of the business is working with them on a marketing package that will be marketed to new potential owners,” it also said. “We remain optimistic that the company will reopen under new operation and can utilize technology invested in by the Manitoba government.” However, the timeline to get a deal in place is exceedingly short for farmers, who are not only owed money for previous years’ deliveries, but were poised to start production again this spring. Ve g e t a b l e g r ow e r s w h o bought seed and dedicated acres for producing for the company in 2017 are just days away from starting to seed transplants. They can’t easily find alternate buyers for large volumes of grown-in-Manitoba vegetables, including large volumes of organic production, and also don’t know what may now become of harvesting equipment, buildings and other investments made to service the company. In a news release last week Vegetable Growers Association of Manitoba president Roland Jeffries said the impact is extensive. “Jobs that have been created on the farms to support this are now being lost. Our producers were all ready with their seed and land to begin planting for CPG as soon as they could get out there,” he said. “They are now scrambling, not knowing what to do.” Jeffries added later in an email

that growers are waiting to hear more details from the receiver about how the company would be sold at this point in time. “Our hope is that someone is able to pick it up and want to keep it in Manitoba,” he wrote. “If proper arrangements could be made, then the producers are willing to plant this coming season for the company. There is not a lot of time left but we are trying to remain optimistic.” Both provincial and federal levels of government have made significant investments in CPG including $582,000 put into the company in January 2016 to help it invest in new equipment and expand operations. CPG has earned multiple awards for its use of innovative technology which steam cooks and sterilizes vegetables such as

U.S. soy acreage forecast at all-time high despite plentiful stocks USDA spring report calls for bigger bean planting and falling corn acres BY MARK WEINRAUB Reuters

.S. farmers plan to seed a record amount o f s oy b e a n a c re a g e this spring, even with supplies trending near all-time highs, the government said March 31. Growers will dial back their cor n seedings this spr ing despite signs of firm demand as record stocks have cast a bearish tone over the futures and cash markets this year, threatening profitability for farmers. The U.S. Agriculture Department said in its prospective plantings report that U.S. soybean plantings were expected at 89.482 million

acres. If realized, that would top last year’s soybean acreage of 83.433 million, which is the biggest to date. Corn plantings were seen falling 4.3 per cent, to 89.996 million acres. Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures fell sharply after the report was released, sinking to 5-1/2-month lows. Corn futures dipped briefly before moving back into positive territory and trading near pre-report levels. “It is a bearish report for beans on all sides, the stocks are higher and the switch away from corn was bigger than anyone figured,” said Jack Scoville, analyst at The Price Futures Group.

“It is a bearish report for beans on all sides, the stocks are higher and the switch away from corn was bigger than anyone figured.” Jack Scoville The Price Futures Group

Analysts had expected the report to forecast soybean seedings of 88.214 million acres and corn seedings of 90.969 million, based on an average of estimates in a Reuters poll. Wheat seedings were seen at 46.059 million acres, down from 50.154 million and the lowest on record. The average of analysts forecasts was 46.139 milT:10.25 in lion wheat acres.

On the supply front, USDA said that domestic soybean stocks as of March 1 stood at 1.735 billion bushels, the second biggest on record and the biggest March 1 reading since 1.787 billion bushels in 2007. A year ago, soybean stocks were 1.531 billion bushels. Corn stocks as of March 1 were a record 8.616 billion bushels, topping the 8.248 bil-

lion bushels reported in March 1987. A year ago, corn stocks were 7.822 billion bushels. USDA said that users burned through a record 3.770 billion bushels of corn from Dec. 1 to March 1. The soybean drawdown during that time was 1.164 billion bushels, the third biggest ever but lower than 2015 and 2016. Wheat stocks stood at 1.655 billion bushels, the biggest since 1988. The bearish supply picture pushed wheat futures to two-month lows. Analysts, on average, had expected soybean stocks of 1.684 billion bushels, corn stocks of 8.534 billion bushels and wheat stocks of 1.627 billion bushels.

Gilbert Farm still at the reins after 60 years at the Winter Fair Gilbert Farm near Brandon, well known in Hackney pony-showing circles, marked its 60th anniversary at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair in 2017

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

he first time Fred Gilbert walked into the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, Elvis was an exciting and controversial young performer and the baby boomers were in their teen years. He has warmed horses up for the evening show by car headlights, next to the now demolished Wheat City Arena, competed in rubber boots at the Manex Arena, when his animals were stabled in racehorse barns and more vulnerable to the weather, saw the first days of the Keystone Centre, and is one of a dwindling number who remember tr ick r ider Buddy Heaton and his jumping buffalo, “Old Grunter.” Gilbert and his family-run operation, Gilbert Farm, located a mile south of Brandon, marked 60 years of the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair this year, more than half the fair’s 110-year history. Gilbert grew up attending the fair, watching horse shows from the sidelines of the old arena, now home to Brandon’s police station. “I got the hook on the smell of the place,” he said. “The shavings and the smell of horses and I just wanted to participate in the fair.”

Family affair At seven years old, he got his chance. His uncles, Stan and Don Gilbert, bought two horses and decided to try their hand in the ring while their nephew borrowed a pony from a neighbour. The following year, Fred Gilbert’s mother followed him into the ring, and he was soon joined by his sister, Bev. About 15 Gilberts have taken up the family pastime since then, including Gilbert’s wife, Alice, his daught e r, We n d y ( n ow We n d y Gi l b e r t A r m s t r o n g ) , h i s s o n , D e re k a n d Wendy’s two sons, 18-year-old Trace and 13-year-old Parker, all of whom showed this year.

“We have so many great memories and it’s just a great thing to do with your family,” Gilbert-Armstrong said. “We’re all so close together because we do this as a family.” For Ron Kristjansson, general manager of the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba, stories like the Gilberts are a sign of success. The fair has marketed itself as a family tradition and about 100,000 visitors come every year, many of them familiar faces. “ We’ve got a lot of multi-generational exhibitors that the parents showed and then the kids showed and now the grandkids are at an age where they’re showing, so those kinds of things are very special to us as an organization,” Kristjansson said. Ev e n a m o n g re p e a t a t t e n d e e s , h owe ve r, t h e Gi l b e r t s s t a n d o u t . Kristjansson says Fred Gilbert is perhaps the longest-running horse show exhibitor, although some cattle-showing families might claim the title of longest-running exhibitor overall. Over the course of decades, the Gilberts have competed in both riding and driving, and have been frequently involved in planning and setting up in the lead-up to the fair. At the age of five, Gilbert-Armstrong first entered the ring leading a show pony, later moving up to junior driving classes, western pleasure, line classes and gymkhana before returning to what her family’s name has become synonymous with at the winter fair, the Hackney pony. “As a kid, the classes were all open by size,” Fred Gilbert said. “They went by size, so all the ponies that did all the winning then were pretty well Hackneys. The Hackneys won all the driving classes, so it wasn’t much fun showing my old pinto pony and getting beat by the Hackneys all the time.”

the time, Bert Blake, an associate and horse trainer for newspaperman and horse racing enthusiast, John Sifton. Sifton had been diagnosed with cancer, a condition that would eventually claim his life, and was looking for someone to take his two champion Hackney ponies. The Gilberts, of course, were interested, but were war y of the price t a g w i t h s u c h a n e l i t e p e d i g re e. Unbelievably, Fred Gilbert said, the two ponies were offered for free. “We never taught them: They taught us,” Gilbert said. “They were a very intelligent pair of ponies that were professionally trained and we had a blast with them for many years.” Now the trainer for Gilbert Farm, Fred Gilbert has watched his wife, children and grandchildren consistently bring back ribbons at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair. Lovie Smith, named affectionately after the former Chicago Bears coach, brought Gilbert-Armstrong first-place finishes this year in the ladies’ cart and pleasure driving championship and third in pleasure driving regular competition. Her son, Trace, drove to second in two youth driving events. Sharp Shooter, another Gilbert Farm champion, claimed the title in three of four events, coming second only in the single harness pony open championship. In at least one instance, Gilbert Farm claimed both champion and reserve champion when GilbertArmstrong, driving Clydes Dale, was beat out only by her brother and his horse The French Connection. “I love it,” Derek Gilbert said. “This is our big show of the year, of course, because it’s our hometown.” A jockey for the family’s standardbred harness racehorses, Derek Gilbert did not show at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair until about five years ago, when his father bought a feisty pony from Quebec and asked the younger Gilbert if he would take up the reins. Accustomed to the much larger, and often equally hotheaded, standard-

breds, Gilbert agreed, and has since consistently joined his family both in Brandon and at the many other horse shows the Gilberts attend.

Counting costs The Gilberts are still devoted to their hobby — and it is a hobby, not business, Fred Gilbert stresses — but the costs of horse showmanship have increasingly been felt. The family once attended between 15-20 shows a year, but has since cut back as the cost of animals, travel, entry fees, stall space and even decorations have become a hindrance. It costs up to $200 to shoe an animal, Fred Gilbert said, while travel brings the risk of injury to his increasingly costly ponies. The family will still travel to Minnesota, Omaha and various stops in Manitoba this year, but they now limit their trips to three-day fairs or longer, hoping to get more bang for their buck. This year, they will add Des Moines, Iowa, to their list of stops. Despite becoming inter national horse show travellers, however, their season starts in their hometown every year in the dying days of March. “I guess the main reason we do it is we love the people,” Fred Gilbert said. “This is our horse show family. Basically, whether it be the draft horses or whatever, we all kind of travel the same circuits.” The Royal Manitoba Winter Fair ran March 27 to April 1, 2017. astockford@farmmedia.com

Prairie fare How much food do you toss? Here are eight tips to help you avoid food waste BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU

few years ago, I found a container of frosting in my cupboard that required a ladder to retrieve. I had completely forgotten that I had it. When I opened the container, the frosting had the consistency and colour of a tire. The rich brown chocolate was now black. That container ended up in the trash, of course, especially when I saw the “use by” date was two years in the past. I bought a shelf to store extra food in our basement after that. Now I can see what I have. Ha v e y o u e v e r f o u n d a c o n t a i n e r of leftovers tucked in the back of the refrigerator? If this has happened to you, you may have been surprised by the fuzzy, colourful appearance. Perhaps the contents did not have a delicious aroma, either. Or maybe you weren’t sure what the dates mean on the package, and you chose to throw the food to be safe. Most of us “lose” a little food now and then. Recently, I gave a workshop about avoiding wasted food, and I acknowledge the Midwest Dairy Council for providing me with these compelling statistics. “Food loss” can happen through cooking loss, spoilage or inadequate temperature control. On the other hand, “food waste” occurs when still-edible food is tossed in the trash by retailers because of issues with colour or appearance. Maybe the carrots are “crooked” instead of straight. Perhaps the food has some minor blemishes. Many consumers want the food to look close to perfect upon purchase. Food waste also occurs at home. In fact, wasted food in homes accounts for 45 per cent of the total food waste disposal. Maybe you or a family member took too large a serving, and the leftover food ended up in the trash. Eventually, much of wasted food ends up with municipal solids. Although we hear more about paper and plastic as contributing to solid waste, food makes up 21 per cent of solid waste. Plastic trash makes up 18 per cent and paper makes up 15 per cent. In fact, people are throwing away 50 per cent more food now than in 1970. The average consumer wastes 1.1 pounds of food

per day, or 401.5 pounds of food per year. That’s like throwing money in the trash. What foods do you think are tossed frequently? If fruits and vegetables come to mind, you are correct. However, dairy is the No. 1 food group “lost.” Here are some tips to trim food waste in your house: • Develop a meal plan. Creating a menu or meal plan can help eliminate food waste by ensuring you only purchase what you need. Use leftovers as other meals, such as breakfast or lunch. • Shop your refrigerator. This means taking a close look at what foods you have available. Instead of planning foods you need to buy to start your meal, plan to make a meal with what you have and pick up added ingredients. • Try to keep on hand a well-rounded selection of food and food ingredients, such as pasta, flour, sugar, bread, canned vegetables, vegetable oils, eggs, spices and other canned goods.

• Create grocery lists. After you shop your fridge, you are ready to make a list. Shop sales and write down everything you need. • Repurpose food. Try making a dish into something else: Use leftover meat as a pizza topping or make a breakfast omelette with leftover veggies. • F reeze the excess. Visit https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/food and click on “Food Preservation.” • C onsider frozen versus fresh. If you are not using fresh produce before it spoils, try frozen instead. Out-of-season fruit and vegetables may spoil quickly, but frozen can be stored for a few months, on average. • O rganize cabinets with the first-in, firstout system. Know what “Use by” and “Sell by” dates mean. Sell-by dates are for the grocery stores and a use-by date is for best quality. The food usually can be eaten beyond the dates.

Picture this project: Downsizing your photographs Here’s some good ideas for what to do with all those photos you’ve collected over the years By Donna Gamache Freelance contributor

re you at a stage in life when you’re thinking of downsizing in the nottoo-distance future? If so, one of the items you’ll need to deal with is all those photographs you’ve collected over the years — especially if you have children, or take a lot of photos when travelling. M a y b e y o u r p h o t o s a re already arranged in albums. If you’ve been saving them in albums for a long time, as I have, the oldest ones will be the kind with plastic sheets that become brittle as the years pass. The photos will start to slip out when you open a page, and often they have started to fade. You’ll probably find that a lot of the pictures, while they may have been interesting at the time, are now meaningless. Some are likely not well focused, or just not worth preserving. If you’ve simply thrown photographs into a drawer in the past, then you have an even bigger undertaking on your hands. You’ll have to decide whether you want to take the time and energy needed to sort through them, arranging them by year or topic, and only then deciding which ones to keep. You might wonder if you should simply toss them all in the garbage. H e r e’s a n a l t e r n a t i v e . You won’t be throwing away all your clothes, or all your dishes, will you? The key word

A “Family” album was created for each son and a “Memories” album for my husband and me.

is downsizing. Photos should b e i n t h e s a m e c a t e g o r y. Choose the more meaningful ones and save them for someone to whom they are important — yourself, as well as your close relatives. Most adult children will be interested in pictures from their growingup years. If they aren’t, usually grandchildren will be keen to have pictures of what their parents looked like or did in their early years. I created a “Family” album for each of our three sons

and their families, beginning about the time when my husband and I married, though I also included photos of our own parents and of the farms where we grew up — so that our grandchildren have an idea of their heritage. Then for my sons, I started around the time of each one’s birth, with several baby pictures. From then on I added about six to 10 photos per year, including pictures from birthday parties or special holidays or events. I labelled what year the pho-

tos were taken, or how old the child in the photo was, so younger generations can discover comparisons with themselves. I also decided which photos I definitely wanted a copy of for my own new “Family Memories” album. If my old albums included special photos which I felt more than one son would appreciate, I set them aside to have duplicates made.

Rhubarb season is almost here There’s nothing better after a long winter than that first taste of rhubarb from the garden Use lots of rhubarb early in the season as it is a coolweather crop and suffers a decline during the heat of midsummer.

By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

e all eagerly look forward to the first tastes of spring from our gardens, keeping our eye on the asparagus patch, the chives and that clump of winter onions. Another plant that we watch carefully for is rhubarb. There’s nothing more tantalizing than that first bowl of stewed rhubarb — unless it is a delicious rhubarb crisp! Rhubarb has been grown in Prairie gardens for years, and was once a mainstay of the winter diet. Canned rhubarb was a staple dessert in my home when I was a child and rhubarb conserve, a jam-like product, was also plentiful. It was also canned without syrup to be used in pies and puddings. Now, rhubarb is simply frozen to be used for this purpose. Rhubarb is a tough plant that is easy to grow. Its basic needs are: moisture, good drainage, fertile soil, and sunshine. Although it will be more productive if it is watered during dry spells, it is quite tolerant of drought and established plants rarely need to be watered as rainfall usually supplies enough moisture. It does demand good drainage and a rhubarb plant will not flourish — and may even be killed — if its

These stalks are not too thick so will be very tender. PHOTO: ALBERT PARSONS

roots are repeatedly subjected to sodden soil. The plants can be left in place for years; in fact, rhubarb objects to being disturbed and a new plant typically takes a year or two to get established. Only divide your clump if the stalks become noticeably small and crowded. When first planted, a large hole should be dug and lots of compost or well-rotted manure should be added as rhubarb likes a rich soil containing lots of organic matter. Even when grown in rich soil, it doesn’t hurt to fertilize in the spring, particularly in a small urban garden where tree roots might be depleting the soil of nutrients around the plant. Rhubarb likes lots of sun. A clump will

tolerate a partly shaded location, but it will not be as productive or as robust as it would be in full sun. Because it is usually grown in a sunny spot, it puts forth new growth quite early in the spring. Although you might be anxious to have the first taste of rhubarb, wait until the new stalks are at least 30 cm high. Whether they are red or not depends on the variety, not on the level of ripeness. Don’t think that you have to wait for the new stalks to ripen up by turning red as they will not do so unless the variety is a red one. Rhubarb is a hardy perennial that needs no winter protection. When heavy fall frost turns the leaves limp, the old stalks should be removed; do not harvest these stalks as the frost will have forced some of the oxalic acid in the leaves to migrate into them. Light fall frost — or

early spring ones — will not have caused this to happen if the leaves and stalks do not appear damaged. At least two-thirds of the stalks should be left on in the late summer/early fall to ensure the plant builds up its nutrient supplies to enable it to endure the winter. In the spring and summer, two-thirds of the stalks can be harvested without damaging the plant. Harvest stalks by grabbing them near their base and pulling. Start with the most mature stalks near the outside of the clump and work in, leaving the smaller ones at the centre. Use lots of rhubarb early in the season as it is a cool-weather crop and suffers a decline during the heat of midsummer. It will rebound somewhat when cooler autumn temperatures arrive. Give it a rest starting in early July and perhaps top dress the soil around the clump with some compost and give it some water if the weather has been dry. If you have rhubarb in your garden, enjoy! If you don’t, add a clump of this wonderful plant to your landscape — its large crinkly leaves and red stalks are quite attractive so it need not be hidden in a back corner. If you plant rhubarb this spring, you too will be eagerly awaiting those first tender stalks to emerge in future springs. Albert Parsons writes from Minnedosa, Manitoba

Children who play outside more likely to protect nature Development of environmental awareness necessary for next generation to care for the Earth UBC release

niversity of British Columbia researcher Catherine Broom says children who play outside are likely to care more about nature as adults than kids who don’t spend time outdoors. Research by Broom, assistant professor in the faculty of education at UBC Okanagan, shows that 87 per cent of study respondents who played outside as children expressed a continued love of nature as young adults. Of that group, 84 per cent said taking care of the environment was a priority. “Developing positive experiences in nature at a young age can influence our attitudes and behaviours towards nature as adults,” says Broom. “It is important to study these childhood experiences in order to develop environmental awareness and action in the next generation.” The study interviewed 50 university students between the ages of 18 to 25. Of the group, 100 per cent of females stated that they loved or somewhat loved nature and 87 per cent of males responded the same. While further research is needed, Broom believes that environmental awareness programs like Girl Guides, Boy Scouts, or the Duke of Edinburgh awards may help develop children’s environmental awareness and action, aligning with environmental priorities such as Canada’s goal to cut emissions by 2030. “Our findings imply that providing positive childhood experiences in nature, such as outdoor school programs, may help to develop care for the environment in adults,” Broom says. “However, these may not be sufficient unless programs are building knowledge and self-awareness of environmental stewardship.” Broom believes that schools and early-childhood classroom activities should connect positive experiences in nature with mindful learning and reflection that help empower students to take a personal role in protecting the envi-

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.

A small wooden elevator at the railway siding of Argue, southeast of Hartney on the long-abandoned CNR Hartney Subdivision, was built around 1918 by the Ogilvie Flour Mills Company. Closed in 1946, the elevator was sold and used for private grain storage by Somerville Brothers Farms from 1951 to 1965. It was still standing at the site as recently as the mid-1990s.

Getting cracking That early start to seeding is desirable, but not without some risks to manage BY GORD GILMOUR Co-operator editor

here’s little doubt that in recent years Manitoba farmers have been getting the crop in earlier and earlier. More tracked tractors, different seeder designs, management changes such as getting more work done in the fall and the ability to place more fertilizer at seeding time, has all added up, says Rejean Picard, a farm production adviser with Manitoba Agriculture based out of Somerset. “Ma n i t o b a f a r m e r s h a ve been around awhile now, and they’ve developed a fair bit of experience with early seeding,” he said. “I think generally they’ve got a pretty good handle on it.”

Spring fever Even the most experienced operator can, from time to time, jump the gun though. There are advantages to taking a deep breath and stepping back to wait just a bit longer, making sure the land is ready, Picard said. Going too early can make a

mess and offset the potential yield gains, to say nothing of the wear and tear on equipment and the added stress to the farm operators. “Trying to muck a crop in doesn’t often pay off,” Picard said. “But again, I think most farmers know this pretty well at this point.” If the land is ready to go,

then the greatest risk is a latespring frost that will hit yields hard, and again, most farmers are doing what they can to manage that risk. “Most are very conscious of it, and are planting the crops — their cereals mainly — that are less susceptible to damage earliest,” Picard said. “They’re avoiding the more susceptible

crops like canola, soybeans and flax, until later in the spring.”

Sensible Nobody doubts why the annual spring rush happens — years of research show earlier planting makes for higher-yielding crops. Manitoba crop insur-

ance data shows a clear yield advantage for almost every crop when it’s sown earlier. One of the most important reasons for this is better utilization of soil moisture, and not just early in the season when the snowmelt moisture i s p re s e n t . Cro p m o i s t u re needs and average rainfall seem to mesh better when a crop is seeded earlier. Early seeding also often lets crops get the jump on weeds, though in a season with earlyseeding conditions, weeds can at times get an early start too. At times early seeding also allows crops to escape the worst of insect pressure. For example, wheat is only susceptible to wheat midge between heading and flowering, and the insects typically emerge in late June or early July. If the crop heads and flowers before this, damage is unlikely. Ma n y c r o p d i s e a s e s a re similar. For example leaf rusts typically come to Manitoba f ro m l a t e Ju n e t o m i d July, with that date varying depending on weather and the development of the crops See SEEDING on page 29 »

The risks T h e re a re t w o m a i n r i s k s for growers to remain aware of, according to Manitoba Agriculture literature — sowing into too-cold soils and the elevated risk of frost damage. If the soil is too cold, the seed won’t germinate until i t w a r m s. T h e re s u l t c a n be uneven or inadequate emergence. While the risk of crop damage from frost is well understood, it can be unpredictable at times. In part that’s because there is some evidence that some early-seeded crops will “ h a rd e n o f f ” a n d b e c o m e more tolerant to frost. There are two ways this mechanism seems to work. The first seems to rely on repeated exposure to cooler weather, leading up to a frost, allowing the plants to become ‘accustomed’ to lower temperatures. The second mode seems to revolve around plants accumulating more ‘solutes’ which are either soil nutrients flowing up from the roots or food coming from the plant leaves. As Manitoba Agriculture explains in an extension release they are “much like antifreeze in your truck’s radiator.” Their presence actually raises the freezing point of the liquid present in these plant tissues. Environmental conditions also play a role in determining the severity of frost damage. Moist soils can reduce the impact of mild frost because wet soil changes temperature more slowly than dry soil. The free water in soils outside the plants also helps buffer the plants because it will freeze before the water in the plant cells. What happens after a frost counts too. If the temperatures slowly warm following a frost event, that can help minimize the impact on the crop. Rapid warming, dry conditions, wind and high evaporation all have the opposite effect, aggravating frost injury.

Soil temperatures key Not all crops are created equal when it comes to germination STAFF There can be a lot of variation between crop types when it comes to how warm the soil needs to be when planting. Some typical minimum germination temperatures for major Manitoba crops: Wheat 4C Barley 3-5 C Corn 10 C Canola 10 C Soybeans 10 C

How early is too early to seed canola?

There are better options for early seeding, especially in wetter areas where soil moisture isn’t an ongoing worry CanolaWatch

ields may have soil temperatures adequate for canola establishment and enough moisture for emergence, but should growers seed canola in early to mid-April? Past experience would suggest that starting on peas and maybe

some cereals in mid-April would be the preferred early-seeding choice, with canola going in late April and early May. Growers may see value in experimenting with one early-seeded canola field, but other crops tend to be better options for seeding in mid-April. For any canola fields seeded on the early side, growers may want to consider a slightly higher seed-

ing rate. Look at the target plant stand. Factor in lower seed survival and/or the extended emergence window with early seeding, and set a seeding rate accordingly. Early seeding may work better in moisture-challenged parts of the Prairies, like in southern Alberta, where dry soils and warm and persistent winds are the norm.

There, early-seeded canola may go into more moisture t h a n l a t e r- s e e d e d c a n o l a . April seeding has shown benefits over May seeding in dry

years in the brown soil zone of Alberta, according to the Alberta Agriculture yield results shown in the accompanying graph.

counts of last year’s crops crossreferenced with yield results and input costs for those fields may help determine the ideal stand for this year. • Scout for winter annuals, perennials and canola volunteers. How will these influence your pre-burn decisions? Also look for patches of weeds that weren’t well controlled last year. How early is too early for weed spraying? • Check out the residue situation. Have an idea whether you’ll be able to seed through it — especially in fields planned for canola. Alberta Agriculture has a new fact sheet with tips for fields that still have crop to harvest. • Reassess clubroot. Muddy equipment and moving water after a wet fall had the potential to spread clubroot and for growers outside Alberta, the issue hasn’t been top of mind, even though it’s present in those provinces too at lower levels. Keeping the disease in mind now will help you detect the problem early and keep it under control. • Manage ruts. Use shallow tillage to fill in ruts, keeping in mind that if compaction is the bigger target, compaction might not be as bad as you might think. Soil fully saturated with water is at lower risk for compaction. Action taken this spring to manage ruts might actually cause more compaction than last fall’s work in saturated soils. • Consider check strips. Start with a question you want answered, such as: Will 50 per cent more nitrogen increase my canola yield and profitability? Use replicated strips. Take it to yield. • Put together a scouting tool kit. With good snips, sweep net, plant-count hoop and more in hand now, you’re ready for a good year of stand and pest assessments and the improved decision-making these provide. Read more. • Test soils. With the late harvest, growers may have run out of time for a fall soil test. Wet conditions in some fields over the past few weeks and months may have also changed the soil nutrient levels for mobile nutrients such as nitrogen and sulphur.

What’s your canola-seeding rate? New online calculators can help get this key decision just right CanolaWatch

hen it comes to putting in canola, few decisions are more important than getting the seeding rate right. Now there are two new online calculators that you can find at www.canolacalculator.ca that will help determine the correct plant stand for an individual field. The calculators determine target plant density and seeding rate, and allow farmers to customize this decision for individual fields.

Stand density Users position sliding scales to determine the level of risk for various factors that influence plant stand targets. If weed competition is very low, for example, the calculator will set a lower target stand. But if spring frost risk is high, the calculator sets a higher target stand to compensate.

Seeding rate This tool has three modes. In seeding rate mode, users input 1,000 seed weight, target plant density and estimated seed survival, and the calculator computes the required seeding rate. In plant survival mode, users enter the number of plants per square foot that emerged along with known seed weight and seeding rate, and the calculator gives the seed survival rate. In plant density mode, the calculator takes 1,000 seed weight, seeding rate and estimated seed survival to give the number of plants that should emerge. Studies show that survival can vary widely and that 50 to 70 per cent is fairly typical, so the default seed survival is 60 per cent. If yours is different, change the value given in the calculator.

Two online calculators are available to help you get your canola stand just right this spring. GRAPHIC: www.canolacalculator.ca

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!
