Provincial budget makes no cuts to municipal funding

NAFTA negotiations key for farmers, say commentators In separate speeches Andrew Coyne and Sylvain Charlebois predicted while supply management is under the gun, there’s more at stake

unicipal leaders are relieved there will be no direct cuts coming to local government funding in 2017, says the head of the province’s municipal lobby. Provincial funding for municipalities will remain at the same level in 2017 as it was last year, said Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) president Chris Goertzen shortly after hearing details of the provincial budget last week. “There’s a few positives we can take out of this,” he said. “Obviously they have a fiscal challenge in front of them, and they aren’t balancing the books on the backs of municipalities, which we think is favourable.” Provincial Finance Minister Cameron Friesen laid out a 2017-18 budget April 11 with an overall $840-million deficit, based on a four per cent increase in revenues at $16.1 billion and a 3.1 per cent increase in expenditures at $17.06 billion compared to its 2016-17 budget.

U.S.-led effort to renegotiate NAFTA could see supply management scrapped, but that’s just the beginning, say two Canadian commentators. Speaking separately at the Canadian Global Crops Symposium April 12, the National Post’s Andrew Coyne and Dalhousie University’s Sylvain Charlebois both said the North American Free Trade Agreement could provide the pretext for major changes in agriculture and the economy at large. NAFTA, which includes Mexico, took effect in 1994, superseding the Canada-U.S. Trade Agreement of 1988. “(NAFTA) is probably the biggest single,

short-term issue facing this (Canadian) government,” Coyne told the conference of more than 200 grain industry members. “If the Americans demand we get rid of supply management, I for one will not be shedding many tears.” Sylvain Charlebois expects that’s exactly what the Americans will do. “They know right now supply management is under a lot of stress,” Charlebois, Dalhousie University’s dean of the faculty of management said in his end-of-conference address. “Supply management now is a mess just because of the tensions going on around NAFTA, around protein dairy coming into the Canadian market, CETA (European Union trade pact) is creating a breach in the quota system,” he said. “There’s no direction, there’s no strat-

egy and the Americans know that. They want to take advantage of that I think. “NAFTA will become a major catalyst for change.” When running for president, Donald Trump threatened to “tear up” NAFTA if a better deal for the U.S. isn’t reached. After the election Trump said the trade agreement would only be “tweaked.” But depending on who is speaking in the Trump administration there could be a “fundamental overhaul,” Coyne said. Charlebois says it’s the latter, based on U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’s comments last week. “We are starting to see that NAFTA 2.0 is not just going to be a change on the cover, there is going to be more,” he said. “It is going to be more substantive.” See NAFTA on page 6 »

nimal nutritionists have long known that plant-based protein sources are less expensive for swine feed rations. But until recently they’ve worried over some anti-nutritional factors that can negatively affect gut health and growth performance in weanling pigs. Recent research from the University of Illinois has shown that soy protein concentrate (SPC) may be partly or fully substituted for animal protein with no adverse effects. “We determined digestibility of crude protein, amino acids, and energy in SPC ground to three particle sizes,” Hans H. Stein, an animal sciences professor said. “We also investigated the effects of substituting SPC for animal proteins on weanling growth performance.” Soy protein concentrate is derived from defatted soy flakes by removing soluble carbohydrates and other non-proteins. In the group’s first experiment, pigs were fed diets containing soybean meal, fish meal, or SPC ground to one of three particle sizes. Diets with SPC more finely ground had greater crude protein digestibility than the traditional protein sources. In a second experiment, weanling pigs were fed corn mixed with each of the protein sources used in the first experiment. The goal was to measure apparent total tract digest-

ibility of gross energy and the digestible and metabolizable energy in each diet. Again the SPC diets performed well, especially at finer particle sizes. “Results of this experiment indicated that diets based on soybean meal and SPC can be fed to weanling pigs without negative effects on growth performance during the initial four weeks after weaning,” Stein said.

Ergot an ongoing problem for cattle producers Wet weather, low-till and uncut ditches all help create an environment where ergot can thrive BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

rgot is an issue for cattle feeders this year, and even the best testing may miss it. Dr. Barry Blakely, a professor with the University of Sa s k a t c h e w a n’s ve t e r i n a r y biomedical department, says the good news is more feed c o m p a n i e s a re r i g o r o u s l y testing for it. The bad news is even the best testing could miss it because the nature of the infection means it will be unevenly distributed in the infected crops. The problem is widespread and in particular feed pellets seem to be a factor in ergot poisoning cases. Blakely said that ergot is impossible to detect in pellet feed without laboratory analysis. A problem further compounded by the fact that feed pellets are made with screenings, which may be more likely to contain elevated levels of ergot. Broken, ergot-infected grain kernels are often mistaken for weed seeds, then end up in screenings. “Two years ago, with 75 per cent of the diseased cattle that had ergot toxicity the history was that they were feeding them pellets that contained screenings,” said Blakely. “It’s high energy and good protein and it’s fairly cheap so a lot of guys want to feed that, but the problem is, all you need is a little bit in there and it really messes things up, so that is impacting on the feed companies because they can’t get rid of their cheap screenings it you

want to call them that, the way they used to.” There’s evidence the testing is working too, but that’s cold comfort to affected producers. “The number of clinical disease cases has actually gone down,” Blakely said. “But the amount of contamination is still pretty high.” The Manitoba Co-operator has confirmed a report at least one cattle producer in the province whose herd is showing symptoms of ergot toxicity after consuming contaminated feed pellets. However, the affected family declined to be interviewed for the story, citing ongoing negotiations with the feed manufacturer. Blakely said it’s not surprising, given how widespread the problem is. “We are seeing lots of it all over Manitoba, as well as Saskatchewan and Alberta, and we’re seeing it in all types of different grass-type crops, so it’s not just in rye... we do see it in wheat and barley and occasionally in oats, as well.” Blakely said ergot is also appearing in native pastures, which is highly unusual. “ What happens with the native pastures, typically, is that the animals... graze it down to near the ground level so the crop or the grass never heads

out, and that is where the ergot invades,” he said. “But this year, in many provinces like Manitoba, with a little more rainfall, they had nice lush crops that all headed out, so the chances of ergot infection were increased.” And while successive wet years have created an ideal habitat for ergot, some management practices are also facilitating its spread. “What’s happened is that when the ascospores are on the surface of the ground, or the ergot sclerotia and so forth, then the next year they germinate,” Blakely said. “But if you let them sit on the top of the soil they spread all over the place and invade.” That means that no-till or low-till fields are more susceptible because soil microbes break down the ascospores when they are buried below the surface, rendering them unviable, he said. Uncut ditch grass can also provide habitat for the fungal disease. Crop rotation plays a crucial role in keeping ergot under control, but Blakely noted it takes at least three years of non-susceptible crops to get rid of the fungus. “And some guys are saying, ‘I can’t go that long without making any money and maybe sort

of breaking even,’” he said. “But the crops that are making them money are the ones that contain ergot... and if your neighbour doesn’t rotate, you’re wasting your time, because it spreads.” In cattle, ergot poisoning can lead to lower performance, reduced milk production, inability to lower body temperature, muscle spasms, reduced circulation and the sloughing off of tails, ears and hooves. New research has also found that some strains of ergot have greater toxicity than others, calling previous ergot guidelines into question. Blakely said that ergot contamination guidelines developed in warmer climates don’t always fit with conditions on the Canadian Prairies either. Brian Lemon, general manager of the Manitoba Beef Producers, said that while he hasn’t heard of any specific problems with feed in the province, ergot has become more of a concern in recent years.

“Be vigilant and recognize that ergot is a lot more prevalent in the grains on the Prairies these days,” he said. “As producers we need to be vigilant about making sure we work with feed companies that we know and that we’re comfortable working with.” Lemon would like to see government regulations updated more regularly to accurately reflect new findings and current research. “ I f y o u’r e m a n u f a c t u r ing feeds there are requirements under the Feeds Act... so there are standards, but one of the things we would ask is, is the standard appropriate given what we know about the research that is going on. These standards are 30, 40 or 50 years old,” he said. “One of the things we would like to see the government looking at more often is, are these standards all appropriate?” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Fresh crocus photos to get prizes at Arden Entry deadline is closing in for the annual spring photography contest STAFF

“We expect to see some stunning photography, and a lot of good-natured discussion in the new crocus photo gallery.”

t’s time to sort through your spring photos and pick the best crocus shot. The village of Arden is once again organizing its spring crocus photo contest and the entry deadline is midnight, Saturday, April 29. More than $500 in prize money is up for grabs, as well as the honour of capturing one of the top slots in the various classes. Photos will be printed, judged and displayed at Arden’s Crocus Festival on Saturday, May 6. Lansdowne Heritage Resources & Tourism Committee (LHRTC) sponsors the annual contest in conjunction with a photography store. This year’s commercial sponsor, Don’s Photo, will print the entries. Contest photos must be as fresh as the season — taken in April, anywhere in Manitoba. Photographers usually focus on open, full blooms. Crocus buds also can make a captivating photo, says John Dietz, event organizer. Prairie crocus can be found at many scattered, unmarked patches in Manitoba. The fragile, mauve-coloured wildflower prefers sandy, sunny and undisturbed native grassland. Arden still has a few acres at the north end of the village where thousands of crocus blooms can be found normally for a few days. They also bloom close to the CPR tracks. Visiting photographers are welcome.

John Dietz

A group of crocus blooms show the first signs of spring life near Arden, Manitoba.

Arden is located six km north of the Yellowhead Highway, about 160 km northwest of Winnipeg. The photo contest is open for all residents of Manitoba, except professional photographers. Sponsors put up cash for 16 prizes in four categories, with separate competitions for youth and adults. It is free to enter the photo contest, and free to attend the Crocus Festival in Arden’s Community Hall. Entry rules can be obtained from the municipal website www.ardenmb.ca. Previous winners are displayed on the site. There are two events that photographers can enter.

For the first event, a University of Manitoba honours degree graduate in photography will judge the entries on artistic merit. The popular second event is a People’s Choice competition. All of the printed photo entries are displayed in the Arden hall. Crocus Festival visitors participate by selecting a favourite youth and adult photo. In 2016, the gallery displayed approximately 180 entries. The People’s Choice Award is sponsored by the Manitoba Co-operator and the winners are published in the Co-operator and awarded $50 each. Entries are made in four classes: portraits of a single crocus flower, portraits

of crocus clusters (three or more flowers), portraits of crocus in its natural prairie habitat, and creative crocus portraits that don’t fit the other classes. Entries are only being accepted in digital format. They must be submitted by email before midnight, April 29 to: crocusphotocontest@gmail.com. The crocus photo contest is a ‘natural’ for Arden, says Dietz. “People love to photograph the Prairie Crocus,” he said. “This contest gives them a chance to display and share their photos. We expect to see some stunning photography, and a lot of good-natured discussion in the new crocus photo gallery.” The Arden Crocus Festival began in 2001. It is held on the first Saturday in May. The Crocus Photo Contest began in 2009. Crocus Festival visitors can take in a pancake breakfast and other familyoriented activities. It ends with a selfserve supper and local entertainment. Photo contest winners are announced after supper.

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Hope springs eternal

hat would possess someone of the pioneer era to try to farm here? This thought was much on my mind the past Easter weekend as I drove to the family farm in Saskatchewan for a holiday gathering. In mid-April, when the winter wheat is already well on its way in Kansas and Nebraska, here the Canadian Prairies Gord Gilmour are still fighting off the grip of winter. Editor Snow flurries continue to blanket the fields unexpectedly and a cold night can still freeze the muddy fields hard enough for a tractor to pass over them without leaving a mark. It’s a place where, in a good year, a farmer might hope to get a third of the calendar without frost. Torrential rainstorms, hail, drought, insects, crop disease, all line up to take a healthy bite from a farm’s productive capacity. It’s a place of isolation, of hard work and too frequently, of little reward. Were they a little crazy or driven to it from sheer desperation? Or were they simply endless fonts of misplaced optimism? Likely the answer is yes to all three in varying proportion depending on the individual. It took a very special kind of person to carve a life in this “Last Best West” as the marketing materials of the time breezily described it. In the early decades, there was wave after wave of new arrivals. First the Ontarians, steeped in the British traditions, and the English and Scottish. Some concluded upon their arrival that this land would support agriculture in the style of the British countryside. Perhaps the best known of these follies is Cannington Manor, near Kenosee, Saskatchewan. It was an attempt to recreate that society here complete with fox hunts, dramatic societies, poetry clubs, croquet, cricket and tennis. For a short time it was a merry life, funded in no small part by remittances from wealthy families back in the U.K., but by the turn of the 20th century, reality had caught up with this foolhardy experiment. Manorial homes were hard enough to heat in the comparatively balmy climate of the British Isles, and all but inhabitable in the depths of a Prairie winter. Despite these early failures there was no turning back. The completion of the transcontinental railroad, the Dominion Lands Act of 1872, the formation of the famed “Mounties” of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, all set the stage for the settlement of the region. It was Sir Clifford Sifton, Canada’s minister of the interior from 1896 to 1905 who was the animating force behind much of this settlement. With a wary eye on the encroaching Americans, he set about to fill the west with non-traditional settlers who, nonetheless, would be loyal to the British Crown. Sifton shifted the focus of recruitment efforts to mainland Europe and particularly to central and eastern Europe where he was certain there were potential settlers who would be better suited to this harsh region. He wanted settlers with more than a romantic idea of agriculture and the rural lifestyle, people long used to coping with a harsh climate. Sifton famously observed that the region required “... a stalwart peasant in a sheepskin coat, born on the soil, whose forefathers have been farmers for 10 generations, with a stout wife and a half-dozen children...” As well as seeking settlers already acclimatized to similar settings, Sifton also consciously chose to court rural people. He didn’t want urban populations settling the region, and gathering in cities, rather than developing homesteads and the rural economy. This led to waves of immigration from groups that still make up many of the core members of the farming community in Western Canada: Ukrainians, Hungarians and Mennonites, just to name a few. While some in the Canadian establishment fretted over the influx of these ‘foreigners’ over more ‘desirable’ British immigrants, Sifton stayed the course, convinced it was the right path. The results were quickly evident as the Prairie population exploded. In 1886, Winnipeg was a scant 20,000 people clinging to the banks of the Red River. By 1911 it was home to 150,000 and the “Gateway to the West, with fortunes to be made supplying the flood of new arrivals. There’s little doubt the less-than-holy trinity of mild insanity, desperation and optimism played a role in bringing each to the region. Not all stayed, but those who did built a new society, one that continues to evolve and grow and welcome new arrivals. At some point every January, I suspect most of us have paused to wonder what life might have been like had our great-grandparents decided to settle Australia. But then we zip up our parka and get on with life. After all, this place has become home, seeping into the souls of all who live here. As our winter finally winds down, the optimism will win out. After all, if this is next-year country, next year is here. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Courting courage BY ALAN GUEBERT Farm & Food

n April 10, Art Cullen of the Storm Lake Times was awarded the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in Editorial Writing. His work, explained the Pulitzer board, “... successfully challenged the powerful corporate agricultural interests in Iowa.” Cullen, who co-owns the tiny, twice-weekly Times with his brother John, won journalism’s highest honour for a series of 10 tough-worded editorials last year that demanded and got answers on why Iowa, a mostly rural state, “has the dirtiest surface water in America.” The question arose after the Des Moines Water Works sued the drainage districts of three northwestern Iowa counties for the high level of nitrates it said was contaminating the Raccoon River, the source of drinking water for its 500,000 central Iowa customers. The ensuing court fight was bitter, costly, and secretive. Cullen, through the Times’ editorial page, doggedly asked two questions. First, how were the three counties paying their legal bills, estimated to be upwards of $1 million. And, second, why today’s ag production system of “farming into the ditch and over the fenceline” should be defended at all. It had played the key role, he noted, citing Iowa State University research, in delivering the dirty water at the centre of the lawsuit. He had Iowa’s public behind him and Iowa’s biggest ag groups in front of him. Almost every public poll supported the lawsuit and almost every farm group and local government group opposed it. If the public wanted the dirty water cleaned up, reasoned the small-town editor in print, why were public officials fighting? After months the Times — meaning Cullen, his reporter son Tom, and other family members — finally uncovered the source of the money

OUR HISTORY:

underwriting the counties’ status quo defence. In typical fashion, he announced the funders in a Sept. 16, 2016 editorial: “Buena Vista County officially is a Farm Bureau county. The Farm Bureau and Iowa Corn Growers have pledged to cover the legal bills (of the three defendant counties so, now) at least we know who our boss is,” he opined. “The Farm Bureau and the commodity groups. “… Fair enough,” Cullen went on. “Everything is above board.” “Except,” he added in a one-word paragraph. “We did not elect Farm Bureau to define our interests. We elected five county supervisors and a county attorney.” Were Cullen’s sharp words directed at Farm Bureau and its Big Ag allies, or were they meant as an admonishment to the weak-kneed Buena Vista County public officials? Maybe all three. In the end, however, it didn’t matter. Three weeks before Cullen was awarded the Pulitzer, the federal judge overseeing the lawsuit dismissed it by noting Iowa’s county drainage districts were immune to damage claims. In short, said the judge, no money no lawsuit. The farm groups and Iowa’s ag-dependent politicians declared victory and moved on. Editor Cullen, who remains in Buena Vista County, conceded nothing: “We still have a surface water problem in Iowa,” he said in one post-Pulitzer interview. Will it take another 25 years for agriculture — for us — to acknowledge and act on the growing threats to our rural environment and the world’s food-growing future? Clearly, we have the money and talent to delay any legal and legislative efforts. What we need more, however, is the courage and foresight to invest that money and talent in ensuring the future rather than litigating the past.

April 1887

dvertisements in the April 1887 issue of The Nor-West Farmer and Manitoba Miller included the Acme Pulverizing Harrow, Clod Crusher and Leveler as well as Sedgwick Woven Steel Wire Fence and Gates. The issue contained an extensive article on dairying, beginning with plans for a creamery, which could be built for an estimated $1,800. However, it recommended that before construction, the potential operator should canvass the area to “see how many cows you are reasonably sure of getting.” It was recommended that tanks to hold cans should be built near a well or spring for cooling. There were also instructions on skimming and tempering cream, and suggestions for resolving the problem of cream not being churned successfully into butter. Another article encouraged Manitoba farmers to follow the example of U.S. counterparts and to get more into the poultry business. “It is frequently said, and often with good reason, that times are dull, and if people would better their condition they should work diligently to that end... our American cousins keep their eyes open and are ready for any opportunity to make money and better their condition. We commend them for this.” One tip for successful management was “See that your birds have a good run, so that they may be able to take sufficient exercise. Idleness leads to mischief in the case of hens, as in the case of a ‘higher class of bipeds.’”

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

The case for a carbon tax (and refund system) Only with a well-structured refund mechanism will a carbon tax be fair to farmers BY DARRIN QUALMAN Co-operator contributor

arbon taxes are controversial. Especially contentious is the question of whether such taxes should be applied to farmers. Before farmers make up their minds about carbon taxes, it’s important that they encounter a clear explanation of how a well-structured agricultural carbon tax could work, and how such a tax could help increase net farm incomes. What follows is such an explanation. A carbon tax is coming. Canada has pledged to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30 per cent by 2030. Ottawa has instructed all provinces to implement a price on carbon, and this probably means a tax. Manitoba’s agricultural sector is responsible for about 40 per cent of the province’s total emissions, so cutting emissions overall means cutting emissions from agriculture. Because a carbon tax is almost certain, farmers should work with governments to structure a tax in a way that not only reduces on-farm emissions, but increases net farm income. How can this be done? First, such a tax must embody the realities of the farm sector, especially the imbalance in market power between farmers and input manufacturers. Because of this imbalance, farmers will be forced to pay nearly all the carbon taxes in the food system, including taxes levied on the natural gas to make fertilizer and the energy to make steel. The carbon taxes levied on farm input makers will be passed forward to farmers in the form of higher input costs, and the taxes levied on truckers, railways, processors, etc. will be passed back to farmers in the form of lower farm gate prices. Farmers will pay it all. An exemption for farm fuel use will be of little help. Rather, a well-structured agricultural carbon tax must include a comprehensive refund mechanism for all carbon tax dol-

Graphic: supplied

lars collected in the agri-food chain. Such a refund system is at the core of the proposal detailed here. Another consideration is that carbon tax rates must rise to high levels. Proposed tax rates — $10 to $50 per tonne — work out to just three to 13 cents per litre of diesel fuel or gasoline. No one will make large changes or large investments to avoid relatively small costs. To change behaviours and help achieve our emission-reduction targets, carbon taxes must rise well above $100 per tonne. The third reason why all carbon taxes paid by farmers must come back to them is that agriculture is export dependent. Farmers cannot shoulder large new taxes that international competitors may not face. Therefore, because farmers will pay all the carbon taxes in the agrifood system, those taxes must rise to high levels, and farmers here must not be disadvantaged relative to competitors, 100 per cent of carbon taxes collected — at both the farm level and the input-manufacture level — must be refunded to farmers. Such refunds would not, however, be based on the amounts each farmer paid. Rather, refunds would be spread proportionately

across the farming sector, perhaps paid back to farmers on the basis of gross margins. Farmers would pay taxes based on the carbon emissions related to their operations, but receive carbon-tax refunds based on the relative size and production of their farms. Farmers with below-average emissions for an operation of their size would come out ahead, while farms with above-average emissions would pay some net taxes. Overall, though, all the money farmers (and input makers and others) pay in would come back to farmers. An independent auditor could certify that this occurs. There’s one more reason farmers shouldn’t reject a carbon tax: If they do, it will be impossible to successfully argue for carbonc re d i t p a y m e n t s f o r i m p r ov e d grazing or cropping techniques. Farmers won’t get paid for sequestration if they refuse to pay for excessive emissions. T h e re’s a l s o t h e c o n n e c t i o n between agricultural emissions, input use, and farm income. First, consider this: farming does not produce GHG emissions — farm inputs produce emissions. Humans h a v e p ra c t i s e d a g r i c u l t u re f o r

about 10,000 years. For 9,900 of those years, farming produced zero net emissions. It is only in the past century, as farmers were encouraged to multiply their use of fuels, fertilizers, and other inputs that emissions became an issue. The GHGs coming out of Manitoba farms is a direct function of the quantity of fossil fuel-intensive inputs agr ibusiness pushes in. Thus, emission-reduction efforts must be input-reduction efforts. We’re not going back to horses, and only a portion of our farms can be organic. Nonetheless, any lowemission food system will be a lowinput food system. And reducing input use can increase net incomes. The graph shows per-acre Manitoba farm income from 1926 to 2016. The black, upward-trending line is gross farm revenue. The bottom, grey line is net farm income. All figures are adjusted for inflation, with government payments subtracted out. Note how gross revenue climbs but net income slumps toward zero, and recovers only modestly in recent years. Most important, note the greyshaded area expanding between t h e t w o l i n e s. T h i s re p re s e n t s M a n i t o b a f a r m e r s’ e x p e n s e s : the amount they spent on farm inputs. Between 1987 and 2016, i n p u t m a n u f a c t u re r s c a p t u re d 98 per cent of Manitoba farmers’ revenues. Over that same period, half the farmers in Manitoba were pushed off the land. The far m income crisis is the result of wealth extraction by powerful agribusiness corporations. Farmers have two problems: high emissions and high costs. Curbing input use can help solve both.

Government support for agricultural innovation vital With the agriculture policy framework up for renewal, 2018 promises to be a critical year for the future of research BY MARIE VERSTEEG CFFO

he federal government has been applauded by leaders in agriculture, research, and agribusiness up and down the value chain for the promises contained in the 2017 federal budget, released just over two weeks ago. The government’s goal is to increase Canada’s agri-food exports to at least $75 billion annually by 2025. With such an ambitious target, it’s encouraging to see that funds will be specifically directed toward innovation. The government has earmarked $70 million over six years to sup-

port agricultural research, innovation, and discovery science. This is up from last year’s commitment of $30 million over six years toward ag research. In our increasingly globalized world, the competitive edge is razor thin. Future commitments on the part of both the federal and provincial government toward innovation will be crucial to the growth of the sector. Existing funding agreements already illustrate the benefits of injecting resources into research and innovation. Growing Forward 2, for example, has provided the sector with significant growth opportunities.

Take the exper ience of N a t u r e F r e s h Fa r m s i n Leamington, Ontario. Through Growing Forward 2 funding, this greenhouse operation has developed supplemental lighting systems that enable wintertime pepper harvests. Ordinarily, such production would be impossible due to a lack of sunlight during Ontario winters. Research like this benefits the whole sector, increasing farm profitability, food security, and operational efficiencies. It also benefits the consumer by putting Canadian produce on Canadian plates year round. Looking forward, 2018 will be an important year for the future of ag research. We look

to the upcoming new policy framework for the ag sector, which will shape federal-provincial funding priorities for the future. Fortunately, one of its major objectives is the goal of “enhancing competitiveness and strengthening competitive advantages by advancing science and innovation capacity and encouraging the adoption of products, practices and processes.” Let’s hope the federal budget’s current show of support for innovation in agriculture will positively influence the outcome of these future agreements. Continued research funding is vital to the flourishing of the agriculture sector and government investments

in innovation will lead the way to greater success in the industry. CFFO hopes to see both federal and provincial governments across the country continue to have a strong role in research and innovation within the agriculture sector. But no matter how significant government contributions are in this direction, industry and producer organizations still have a key role to play in seeking innovation through research and partnerships as well.

FROM PAGE ONE NAFTA Continued from page 1

Former prime minister Brian Mulroney delivered a similar message to the federal cabinet April 6.

Get ready Charlebois and Coyne agree Canada must be prepared. “It is not inconceivable that we could get demands at that (negotiating) table that we can’t accept,” Coyne said. “And if we can’t accept them then we’ve got to be able to walk away from the table. And if we walk away from the table they may call our bluff and abrogate the agreement. So we’ve got to decide what’s worth keeping in NAFTA. Is it worth keeping at any price?” For example, Peter Navarro, who heads the White House’s new National Trade Council, has said in any future American trade agreements the U.S. should be able to trigger renegotiations the minute the U.S. goes into a trade deficit, Coyne said. The U.S. might demand Canada put a floor under its exchange rate or press Canada into a customs union to create a common trade policy, preventing it from making its own trade deal with China. Trump bombed Syria to make a statement, Charlebois said. “That’s the kind of presidency we are dealing with right now,” he said. “So if we are not careful we can pay dearly. I know you guys aren’t in livestock but still it’s going to affect your business down the road for sure. “So NAFTA matters a lot. I think it matters a lot more than what Mr. Trudeau envisions. I think there’s more at stake.”

BUDGET Continued from page 1

“Some of our provincial neighbours are pursuing different paths involving stark decisions, choosing either higher taxes or pursuing increased spending,” he said in a release, while his budget “avoids such drastic measures.” Goertzen said municipalities were also watching for signs the province would follow through on a pledge for a ‘fair say’ for municipalities. The way funds will now flow to local government is evidence of that happening, he said. “We also see them increasing some flexibility for municipalities through unconditional grants to municipalities, rather than conditional grants,” he said, adding past grants have often been so narrowly focused it limited access or use of them. “It’s a small move but we think it’s a good omen for the future discussions we’ll have about basket funding,” he said.

Canada needs to know what its bottom line is going into NAFTA renegotiations, National Post columnist Andrew Coyne, told the Canadian Global Crops Symposium in Calgary April 12. PHOTOs: ALLAN DAWSON

Canada’s ability to negotiate the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) with the European Union, in part, came from having all the provinces involved, Charlebois said. The same should occur with NAFTA. “We need to be clear about what we need to sacrifice,” he said. Mo s t e c o n o m i s t s a g re e NAFTA has been overall good for all three signatories, including Mexico. The federal government says merchandise trade, as measured by the total of each country’s imports from its other two NAFTA partners, exceeded $1

Municipalities were also closly watching to see what the province would allocate for infrastructure investment and local economic development, and signs for looking for a “continued partnership” between the all levels of government. Goertzen said AMM will need to take a closer look at how the $370 million the province is allocating for municipal and provincial infrastructure will be divied up. They’ll also be looking for clarification on where the Building Canada Fund for Manitoba is at. “It wasn’t mentioned. It has been crucial for us tackling our infrastructure needs. We want to continue to see infrastructure continue to be addressed collaboratively with the provincial and federal governments.” Last week’s budget included a 3.4 per cent boost to overall infrastructure spending, allocating $747 million for roads, highways,

trillion (U.S.) in 2015 — more than a threefold increase since 1993. Canada-U.S. trade in goods and services alone was nearly $881 billion last year.

Reform not abolish Charlebois said supply management has prevented Canada from becoming a global player in world agricultural exports. But unlike Coyne, Charlebois says it needs to be reformed not scrapped. “Abolishment would be a travesty I think,” Charlebois said. Instead of basing returns to dairy farmers on average production costs, use top performers, he said.

bridges and flood protection, $641 million for health, education, and housing infrastructure as well as the $370 million. The budget speech also highlighted $60 million in investments specifically in flood protection, drainage and other water control infrastructure. Local governments also face all kinds of red tape headaches which have made government hard to deal with, Goertzen said. So they welcome the introduction of Bill 22 — The Regulatory Accountability Act — which aims to reduce administrative burdens on local government as well as non-profit groups and citizens. Municipalities have been especially hurt by administrative delays, particularly related to processes with the Municipal Board processes and Public Utilities Board, which have cost both time and money, Goertzen said. “It (red tape reduction) is re-

The Americans know supply management is under siege and will use NAFTA renegotiations to get at the policy, Sylvain Charlebois, Dalhousie University’s dean of the faculty of management, told the Canadian Global Crops Symposium in Calgary April 12.

Canada has 11,000 dair y producers and some are inefficient, Charlebois said. Un d e r C E TA C a n a d a i s required to allow imports of 18,000 tonnes of cheese. Because of that and other c h a n g e s t h e Wo r l d Tra d e Organization should allow Canada to export dairy products, he said. In the past the W TO h a s re f u s e d o n t h e grounds that supply management is seen as a type of subsidy. Although the money doesn’t come from government, the policy restricting dairy imports, which keeps prices up, does. Canada would need 18 to

ally key for efficiency of municipalities,” said Goertzen. “Delays are our biggest challenge. Those delays have cost municpalites a lot of money over the years.” They will need to continue asking questions about the province’s overall plan to spur economic growth in Manitoba, Goertzen added. The 2017-18 budget speech mentioned economic growth for northern Manitoba, working with indigenous communities and boosting tourism. “What we were looking for was clearly a plan from this government on economic development,” Goertzen said. In 2016 AMM tabled a draft report called The Rural Economic Development Strategy, citing need for improved economic development service delivery and concerns about an overly bureaucratic mode of service delivery.

20 years to wind down supply management, Charlebois said. “There is $30 billion worth of quotas out there,” he said. “A lot of it is financed by us — FCC (Farm Credit Canada) is one creditor so you have to be careful.” After 45 years of supply management, it’s time Canada realized it can’t be protectionist and pro-trade, Charlebois said. “Either you commit to trade or you don’t. “The problem with Canada is we want to talk on both sides of our mouth.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

“Obviously they have a fiscal challenge in front of them, and they aren’t balancing the books on the backs of municipalities, which we think is favourable.” Chris Goertzen AMM president

New investments make provincial budget good for agriculture, says KAP A few less used agriculture tax credits were axed in the recent provincial budget, but were more than offset by added investments BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

eystone Agricultural Producers is giving the p r ov i n c i a l b u d g e t a thumbs up from the agriculture sector. Producers can expect few changes to how agricultural policy is funded in Manitoba, following the release last week. The province’s general farm organization said the budget is good for agriculture, with no cuts and some improvements on offer. “It does not chip away at the agriculture industry’s foundation,” said Dan Mazier, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers. “And in fact, the new livestock initiative, the additional resources for weather

and data forecasting, and the investment in the Manitoba Grain Innovation Hub are all designed to help agriculture grow.” Provincial Finance Minister Cameron Friesen laid out a 2017-18 budget with an overall $840-million deficit, based on a four per cent increase in revenues at $16.1 billion and a 3.1 per cent increase in expenditures at $17.06 billion compared to its 2016-17 budget. Increased funding for innovation in agriculture included in the budget will be offset in part by an immediate end for several of the less popular tax credits available for farm use. “Some of our provincial neighbours are pursuing different paths involving stark decisions, choosing either higher taxes or pursuing increased

spending,” Friesen said in a release, adding that his government’s budget “avoids such drastic measures.” The province’s odour control tax credit, the riparian tax credit and the nutrient management tax credit effectively ended last Tuesday for farmers and agribusiness. Overall, the province’s 201718 operating budget for agriculture is pegged at $191.51 million, a 1.7 per cent increase from the 2016-17 budget, mainly on a 2.9 per cent increase in “risk management, credit and income support” funding. Manitoba Beef Producers noted it was pleased to see plans to grow the provincial beef herd in the budget. “It’s encouraging to see the government is committed to

growth in the province’s livestock sector,” said the organization’s president Ben Fox. “Since (Agriculture) Minister (Ralph) Eichler’s comments about growing the provincial beef herd, MBP has been hard at work gathering the thoughts of our members on how best to achieve that goal... we now look forward to working with the government as part of this new strategy.” However, there was some disappointment that this year’s budget didn’t fully address the issue of education tax reform. “We are pleased the government has put an additional $5 million into the farmland school tax rebate because that will offset increased land values. However, because of these high land values, more farmers will be reaching the program’s

$5,000 cap,” said Mazier. “We continue to call not just for a removal of the cap, but for a complete overhaul of the way education tax is funded in the province, so a disproportionate amount of school taxes does not continue to fall on farmers.” Keystone Agricultural Producers would also liked to have seen an indication of how the province intends to introduce carbon pricing. “KAP is calling for the necessary measures to keep farmers competitive, and I sincerely hope the province will address this as it works on the plan. As well, I urge the government to do more consulting with Manitobans, and in particular, Manitoba farmers,” Mazier said. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com — With files from Dave Bedard

Saskatchewan ends purple gas program The province leans harder on consumption taxes for revenue STAFF

“Purple gas” is about to become a quaint old figure of speech for Saskatchewan farmers as the provincial fuel tax exemption on bulk gasoline for farm use ends April 1. The provincial government on March 22 rolled out a budget designed to dial back the province’s reliance on resource revenue in the face of slumping markets for oil and potash, while substantially boosting provincial revenue from consumption taxes. For farmers, one of the biggest changes in Finance Minister Kevin Doherty’s budget is the elimination of the tax exemption for bulk purchases of gasoline starting April 1, along with a cut in the related exemption for bulk diesel, down to 80 per cent of the purchase. That measure alone, the province said, “impacts farmers and other primary producers and increases fuel tax revenue by $40.2 million.” The cuts to farm fuel exemptions, the province said, “reflect the changing nature of farming and primary production operations and on-road and personal use of this fuel.” In a move affecting all Saskatchewan residents, provincial sales tax (PST) will rise to six per cent, from five, and various PST exemptions — such as for construction and renovation services, restaurant meals, snack foods and children’s clothing — will also end, effective April 1. A PST exemption for insurance premiums will also end starting July 1, the province said. Effective April 1, the value of a trade-in will also no longer be deductible in determining PST on the purchase of a new vehicle, though the PST exemption for used vehicles will continue.

Doctors push disease prevention as tick season begins in Manitoba The bloodsuckers are back and experts are once again offering advice on tick-borne disease “We tend to see more cases this time of year because, No. 1, the ticks are out, but also they’re quite small at this time of year, but they’re at a stage where they can transmit.”

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

octors and government are sounding the alarm on tick-borne diseases as the first blacklegged ticks of the season have been discovered in Manitoba. Lyme disease, the illness most associated with the blacklegged tick and a growing villain in the minds of Manitobans, once again tops the province’s tickrelated health concerns. Last year saw the highest rate of Lyme disease since statistics were first collected in 2009. There were 62 potential cases in Manitoba in 2016, up from 39 in 2015 and 48 in 2014. The infection, often typified by a bull’s-eye-shaped rash (although not present in all cases), first causes headache, fever, aches and pains, stiff neck, swollen lymph nodes and fatigue before manifesting more serious symptoms. Left untreated, the disease has been known to cause joint, heart and nervous system problems and, even after successful treatment, symptoms can persist for years. Dr. Michael Routledge, medical officer of health with the Southern Health Region, says the disease is commonly contracted early in the tick season, as ticks are less likely to be removed during the 24-hour grace period before disease transmission.

Dr. Michael Routledge

“We tend to see more cases this time of year because, No. 1, the ticks are out, but also they’re quite small at this time of year but they’re at a stage where they can transmit,” he said. Less than one-third of Lyme patients recall being bitten by a tick, the province has said, while blacklegged ticks may be active as soon a temperatures rise consistently above 4 C. The Pembina Valley, Red River Valley corridor and southeast Manitoba, all areas with known blacklegged tick populations, lie within the Southern Health Region. Nineteen cases of Lyme disease were reported in the Southern Health Region last year, up from 14 in 2015. Routledge identified both growing tick populations and growing awareness of Lyme disease as reasons for the increase. He noted however, that the condition is still comparatively rare. While Manitobans have long been used to dog ticks, which are not known to carry Lyme disease, the blacklegged tick is a relatively recent interloper. The

province has seen a westward spread of the pest in recent decades. In 2011, the province first confirmed populations in the Pembina Valley Region, now a hot spot for the pest. At the time, over one-third of tested ticks in the region were positive for Lyme-causing bacteria. Blacklegged tick risk zones now run through south-central Manitoba, as far north as the Interlake and as far west as Brandon. See TICKS on next page »

TICKS Continued from previous page

Dr. Amy Frykoda, officer of medical health for the Prairie Mountain Health Region, says four cases of Lyme disease were reported last year, up from two in both 2015 and 2014. “The general message is that we are seeing a steady increase in case numbers of the blacklegged tick risk areas than we’ve seen in the past,” she said. There was an average 1.2 Lyme disease cases per year in the Prairie Mountain Health Region from 2011 to 2015. “It is possible to find blacklegged ticks in areas outside the known blacklegged tick risk areas of Manitoba because ticks can attach to migrating birds and be carried over large distances,” Manitoba Health, Seniors and Active Living has said. “However, the disease risk is relatively low because the chance of encountering infected blacklegged ticks is less likely outside of these risk areas.” Interestingly, Routledge has said, many Lyme cases seem to stem from those living in urban centres rather than farms. Little comprehensive data has been collected on patient career, but Southern Health has not seen any ties between Lyme disease and agriculture, which takes place mostly outdoors, he said. “Anybody who’s spending lots of time outdoors is at risk, but it’s not surprising in the sense

that where we tend to see these populations is more away from what I would call agricultural areas. It tends to be more in a wooded area,” he said. He acknowledged that some aspects of agriculture would put producers in contact with Lyme disease risk zones. Frykoda says cases to the west have been largely balanced between rural and urban populations. She noted that some producers may live in towns, but contract the disease on rural farms. “The other thing that could be happening when you’re finding this information surprising, but it may not be surprising, is just that there are higher population numbers in an urban centre,” she said. Two other tick-borne diseases, anaplasmosis and babesiosis, have also warranted public alerts this year. A record 17 potential cases of anaplasmosis and the province’s first potential case of babesiosis were reported last year. Anaplasmosis, which causes fever and flu-like symptoms, generally appears between five and 21 days after an infected tick bite and generally resolves itself within 30 days. For the elderly or those with compromised immune systems, however, the risks are higher. Severe cases of anaplasmosis have caused respiratory and neurological problems, infection, kidney failure or even death.

Babesiosis, typically manifesting one to six weeks after the bite, proves a particular challenge as most cases will develop no symptoms. For those who do, fatigue is a common first indicator, followed by any of the following: chills and sweating, severe appetite loss, anemia, headaches and weakness, joint pain, nausea or a persistent, unproductive cough. Like anaplasmosis, babesiosis may require hospitalization, while fatigue, weakness and anemia may persist for months after treatment. An online tick checker tool has been introduced this year in an effort to better track the blacklegged tick population. The public is asked to submit p i c t u re s a n d i n f o r m a t i o n at http://forms.gov.mb.ca/ tickSubmission/. Information will be used to direct tickscouting efforts. “Certainly, over the last number of years we’ve often had people asking about how they can submit a tick for assessment,” Routledge said. “This is just another sort of tool that we developed and Manitoba Health has developed in order to be able to facilitate that.” There have been no cases of anaplasmosis in the Prairie Mountain Health Authority, although Frykoda says that may change as tick populations continue to spread. astockford@farmmedia.com

Tips for avoiding ticks BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

Information taken from Manitoba Health, Seniors and Active Living • Perform daily tick checks, particularly after spending time in areas with known blacklegged tick populations. • Remain on paths and away from long grass. • Wear appropriate tick repellant. • Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts and closed-toe shoes. • Tuck pants into socks. • Wear light colours to more easily detect ticks. • Check clothing and other items for ticks. • Bathe soon after coming indoors to easily check for ticks. • Check pets for ticks.

Landscaping advice for preventing tick bites • Install a mulch, rock or gravel border between a yard and any surrounding woods. • Limit habitat for tick carriers such as mice. • Keep woodpiles and other tick habitat away from the house. • Mow lawn and prune trees and shrubs frequently. • Keep playsets away from bushes or woods. • Avoid ground-hugging plants in often-used areas. astockford@farmmedia.com

when first responders had to text ground forces or rely on cell ser vice wherever it actually was available. When it failed completely, firefighters resorted to yelling on street corners to get people to evacuate in the village of Vita. Swidersky has given provincial officials an earful on the matter ever since. “It’s important to have one dedicated reliable source of communication,” he said, adding they hope the proposal process proceeds quickly. T h e p r ov i n c e s a i d i t s intent is to outsource t h e p r o c e s s t o a c q u i re a replacement ser vice through a qualified, independent third party and the request for proposals is expected to be issued within 60 days. FleetNet is 26 years old and has reached the end of its service life. Replacement par ts for the system have not been manufactured since 2003. The proposal will include requirements for a modern digital encrypted communications system that meets current technical standards, deployment on a radio frequency reserved for public safety and public service use, and additional towers to expand coverage in currently underserviced areas. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

rices for cattle at auction marts in Manitoba were sharply higher last week, buoyed by strength in the futures markets — though seasonal weakness could kick in moving forward. While volumes were about average for this time of year, prices for cattle at Gladstone Auction Mart advanced on the week, auctioneer Dave Nickel said. Increases were seen most notably on steers between 500 and 700 lbs., which advanced around five to eight cents per pound. “I think the futures played a big role in this one,” Nickel said. Cattle futures at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange advanced in the week ending April 13. Markets were closed April 14 for Good Friday. “The market’s been on a really strong run here,” said Brian Perillat, manager and senior analyst for CanFax, a cattle-marketing division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, based in Calgary. Tight cattle numbers are one source of strength in the short term, he said. Carcass weights in the feedlot sector have been dropping rapidly, which means packers need to pay increasing amounts to get cattle bought. “And they’re seeing pretty good demand, too,” Perillat said. For another supportive feature, Canada’s beef sector of late has had strong domestic demand and rising exports, most notably to the U.S. Though exports have been slow year over year, they picked up at the end of March and into early April, partly due to U.S. ranchers backgrounding feeder cattle in Canada, then pulling them back south.

brian perillat CanFax

The rise in exports may also be partly caused by strong U.S. markets, which makes Canadian cattle more affordable. While the cattle market has seen short-term support, it’s not uncommon that by the end of April prices have seen a spring high, Perillat said. “I’m not sure there’s too much more upside here. “As we move forward into summer, we’re probably going to see a typical price decline for cattle.” There are several key factors for which traders will be watching. Ample supplies of cheap feed are supportive for feeder cattle values. “They (traders)] are probably going to watch how weather and crop prospects are looking going forward here,” as U.S. producers start seeding, Perillat said. Ranchers and traders will also look to currency fluctuations, which dictate the affordability of cattle and, to an extent, export demand. The Canadian dollar advanced almost a full cent against its U.S. counterpart in the week ending April 13, which makes the country’s cattle less affordable for international buyers. Ultimately, on the demand side, “we know more cattle are coming — just how good is the demand going to be, both from exports and domestically?” Perillat said.

Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest pork producer, has established a separate bioscience unit to expand its role in supplying pig parts for medical uses, with the ultimate goal of selling pig organs for transplantation into humans. Routine pig-human organ transplants are years away, but recent scientific advances are breaking down barriers that frustrated prior attempts to use pigs as a ready supply

of replacement parts for sick or injured people, making it an attractive new market. “Our bread and butter has always been the bacon, sausage, fresh pork — very much a food-focused operation,” Courtney Stanton, vice-president of Smithfield’s new bioscience unit, told Reuters in an exclusive interview. “We want to signal to the medical device and science communities that this is an area we’re focused on — that we’re not strictly packers,” she said. Smithfield, the $14-billion subsidiary of China’s WH Group, in its first move has joined a public-private tissue engineering consortium funded by an $80-million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense. Smithfield is the only pork

producer, joining health-care companies including Abbott Laboratories, Medtronic and United Therapeutics Corp. Tra n s p l a n t s a re u s e d for people diagnosed with organ failure and who have no other treatment options. Transplants from animals could help close a critical gap to help those in need. The United Network for Organ Sharing estimates that, on average, 22 people die each day while waiting for a transplant. Smithfield already harvests materials for medical use from the 16 million hogs it slaughters each year. The company owns more than 51 per cent of its farms and hopes to sell directly to researchers and health-care companies, which now typically buy from third parties.

Fears of short supplies sustain canola values

Average quotes as of April 17, 2017 ($/tonne) Future

Alberta managed to harvest some of last year’s crop DAVE SIMS CNSC

CE Futures Canada canola contracts chopped around for much of the holidayshortened week before fund positioning pushed the front-month contracts up $5 on April 13. The spike left the May contract perched at the technically important $500-per-tonne mark. One of the main factors underpinning the canola market continues to be the idea that stocks of old-crop canola are beginning to disappear, and shortages could be an issue before the new crop is ready. Combines had been rolling across Alberta during the early portion of the week taking off crops left over from the fall, before rain and snow ground that to a halt on Thursday. Long-range forecasts also indicated more wet weather could be on the way before the month of April is over. Intermonth spreading was a key feature too, as farmers rolled out of May and into July. Spreads were narrowing, which could be an indication that supplies are tightening. Slow farmer selling added to the upside and cash basis levels were said to be improving slightly across Western Canada. On the other side, weakness in Malaysian palm oil weighed on the market, along with the rapidly advancing har vest in South America. Some questions were also raised

about falling crush margins in China and what that could mean for future demand. On Friday, Statistics Canada is scheduled to release its first acreage projections for the year. Trade guesses generally range from 20 million to 22 million acres for canola. Last year 20.4 million acres were seeded. While a few analysts may think more acres will be planted than most expect, one participant said he thinks that will be difficult as many farmers are leery of over-rotating canola. It was a volatile week for U.S. soybeans as the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s latest monthly supply/demand report projected larger-than-expected world and U.S. soybean ending stocks. Prices temporarily plummeted before correcting higher. The front-month May contract finished roughly 14 cents per bushel higher. Corn futures also posted gains to end the week, climbing four cents per bushel. Wet weather in portions of the U.S. Midwest delayed planting in certain areas, which was supportive for prices. It also raised ideas that farmers may switch out acres to other crops if the season does become shortened. Wheat prices on the Chicago Board of Trade finished a cent higher as record-low acreage in the U.S. kept prices supported. However, wet weather in the U.S. southern Plains has helped replenish soil moisture levels in several parched regions, which was bearish.

Prairie wheat bids rise, tracking U.S. futures Cash durum and CPSR wheat prices in the West held steady on the week BY DAVE SIMS AND PHIL FRANZWARKENTIN CNS Canada

ard red spring wheat bids i n We s t e r n C a n a d a w e re slightly stronger during the week ended April 14 as advances in U.S. futures pointed the way higher. Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were mostly higher, rising by $1 to as much as $9 per tonne across the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of deliver y points compiled by PDQ (Pr ice and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about $217 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $239 in northern Alberta.

Average (CWRS wheat) prices ranged from about $217 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $239 in northern Alberta.

Quoted basis levels varied from location to location and ranged from about $31 to $44 per tonne above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollar-denominated futures and Canadian dollar cash bids. When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$163 to US$179 per tonne. That would put

the currency-adjusted basis levels at about US$16-$32 below the futures. Looking at it the other way around, if the Minneapolis futures are converted to Canadian dollars, CWRS basis levels across Western Canada range from $21 to $42 below the futures. Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were steady, with prices ranging from $1 56 to $1 69 per tonne. Average durum prices held steady,

with bids ranging from C$253 to C$258. T h e Ju l y s p r i n g w h e a t c o n tract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts in Canada are based, was quoted April 13 at US$5.3875 per bushel, up by 11.75 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 13 at US$4.3925 per bushel, up by five U.S. cents compared to the previous week. The July Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled April 13 at US$4.4275, up by 6.5 U.S. cents on the week. The Canadian dollar settled April 13 at 75.03 U.S. cents, up by nearly half a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart compared to the previous week.

Don’t write off animal welfare advocates as ‘crazies’ Most consumers now believe animals have rights and livestock producers have to respond to their views, says bioethicist

BY ALEXIS KIENLEN

“When you dismiss people as extremists when they believe animals have rights, you’re making serious tactical errors.”

STAFF / LEDUC

he growing emphasis on animal welfare and animal rights is part of a societal shift, and the livestock sector needs to embrace it. That’s the view of a philosopher who is also a professor of biomedical sciences and animal sciences at Colorado State University and author of several books on animal rights. “Too many people in agriculture, if you say the phrase ‘animal rights’ or even ‘animal welfare,’ what comes to their mind is a small group of crazies, malcontents, radicals, extremists, and vegans who do not appreciate that North America has the most inexpensive, safe, wholesome food supply in the world,” Bernie Rollin said at the recent Livestock Care Conference put on by Alberta Farm Animal Care. But it’s much larger than that, said Rollin. As far back as 2004, polls found 70 per cent of the American public wanted farm animal welfare legislated. That number is now well north of 90 per cent, he said, and many have gone well beyond that. “Seventy to 80 per cent of Americans believe animals have rights, and it’s higher in Britain. So when you dismiss people as extremists when they believe animals have rights, you’re making serious tactical errors.” Being blind to those concerns will only hinder agriculture’s ability to manage the issue, he said. Rapidly growing social concern for

Bernie Rollin

animal treatment is an example of the large number of social and ethical revolutions that have taken place over the past 60 years, including civil rights, feminism, LGBTQ rights, and children’s rights. As larger society has encompassed the needs of minorities, it has also included animals in this definition. “We all live under a social consensus ethic,” he said. “If we didn’t have one, if everything was restricted to your personal ethic, we’d have chaos. “Failing to accord with the social ethic in a pre-emptive way can cost you customers, and more importantly, freedom.” Rollin urged his audience to think of social ethics as an ox cart going to Toronto. “You as an industry are chained to that ox cart. You’ve got two choices. You can walk when the ox cart walks and rest when it rests. Or you can fight it, in which case you’ll get there broken, bleeding and wounded.” Voluntarily managing issues is easier than waiting for the government to regulate.

“If you have the choice — self-regulate.” The livestock sector also makes a tactical error when it talks about animal welfare in terms of “sound science.” Instead of asking if a particular practice is supported by science, ask whether it is something that should be done, said Rollin. He also challenged the frequently cited view that high animal welfare standards are a given because productivity and taking care of livestock go hand in hand. That’s not always true, he said. “Productivity is an economic notion — predicated by the entire operation — while welfare is predicated on individual animals,” he said, noting a caged laying hen operation can still be profitable even if it is overcrowded. It disturbs consumers if they believe producers and scientists ignore issues such as fear, pain, and distress unless they impact the bottom line. Instead, Rollin prefers another definition of welfare, which focuses on moral obligations to the animal. “Science does not determine the con-

cept of welfare — your welfare determines the science,” he said, adding his definition of animal welfare is based on preventing suffering and allowing animals to express their nature. And sometimes animal husbandry and animal science conflict. “Animal husbandry talked about how you put the animal in the optimal environment for which they were suited biologically and socially, and then augmented their ability to thrive and survive with food, water, and medical attention,” he said. “Animal science gave us feeding bone meal to herbivores, which gave us mad cow disease.” In Rollin’s view, the last supporters of animal husbandry are western ranchers. “They still have the ethic of animal husbandry,” he said. A rancher will stay up all night to care for a marginal calf — not because there’s an economic benefit, but because it’s what they owe the animals, he said. “The great virtue of husbandry is that it was a fair contract. Both sides benefited. We did well only if the animals did well. There was a close unity between animal welfare and producer welfare. That’s the key point. We didn’t need animal ethics. We didn’t need any laws because self-interest is the most powerful contract.” Like it or not, there is now a social contract between livestock producers and consumers. “The industry should look to what people want and then try and meet it. It’s common sense.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Bison industry considers video auction The Manitoba Bison Association hopes a video auction will open doors for public engagement, should the suggestion become reality BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

h e 2 0 1 7 G re a t Sp i r i t Bison Show and Sale might be one of the last to run a sales ring. The Manitoba Bison Association is eyeing video auctions to improve safety and public engagement during sales. The system would replace the sales ring with video taken of animals within their pens and then uploaded online. Online bidding would also be available. No l a n M i l l e r, p r e s i dent of the Manitoba Bison Association, said animals would still be transported to Brandon for the sale, as in previous years. “ T h e re’s z e r o s t re s s o n t h e a n i m a l s,” Mi l l e r s a i d . “ B a s i c a l l y, r u n n i n g t h e m through the sales ring for people to bid on them is, to me, kind of pointless. If the animals are right there in the pens for the buyers to look at, I don’t see the need to run them through the sales ring. You run the risk of injuring the animal or, also, one of the handlers.” Bison may return to the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair under a video auction system, the association has said. With about 100,000 visitors expected this year, the association hopes participation in the fair would increase public awareness and education of the industry. The Great Spirit Bison Show and Sale usually coincides with the final days of the fair. “The winter fair, they want us there, but it just doesn’t work out for penning space to have bison physically there. This was kind of, maybe a way to please everyone,” Miller said, adding that bison require more space than horses or cattle traditionally stalled during fair week. With video auctioning, stock could be housed at Heartland Livestock Services, current home of the Great Spirit Bison Show and Sale, several kilometres away. Ron Kristjansson, general manager of the provincial exhibition, said bison were once integrated in the fair, but moved to a separate event once the sale grew too large. The exhibition would be open to returning bison to the schedule, he said. “We do get a lot of people from all walks of life through the fair and lots of farmers are there and lots of people who might have a connection to the bison industry, but I think, even for the general public or people who haven’t first-hand experienced a bison sale, it might be pretty interesting to watch part of it while they were at the fair,” he said. This year’s Great Spirit Bison Show and Sale featured 35 show animals and 150 head in the commercial sale.

“There’s zero stress on the animals. Basically, running them through the sales ring for people to bid on them is, to me, kind of pointless... You run the risk of injuring the animal or, also, one of the handlers.” Nolan Miller

should the video auction be pursued here. “I think the price would’ve been the same either way if we would’ve run them through the ring or by video,” he said of the association’s experiment last year. “The prices held up real good and everyone we talked to thought it went well. I know before the sale there were some people who were concerned that it might not go as well, because there’s always people who are leery of change.”

Miller acknowledged that a video auction next year may cost more than it did in Regina. Last year, the association used a video auction provider who was already on site for the Agribition cattle show, which also integrated video. It would likely be a greater cost should a similar company be called in specifically for the bison sale, Miller said. The success of the sale will be reliant on the quality of the video, he added.

Horse euthanasia: making ‘the’ decision

The strong bond most horse owners develop with their equine companions makes this a very difficult choice Carol Shwetz

No one really knows for sure the answer to the question, “When is the time right?”

DVM

Horse Health

ometimes the decision to euthanize a horse and end suffering is clearly obvious. This can occur when a horse has a severe injury or an unrelenting and non-responsive illness such as laminitis or colic. However, all circumstances are not so straightforward and many times horse owners are confronted with situations of illness, injury or aging that slowly taints the quality of a horse’s life. Such scenarios have become increasingly common within an aging equine population. Horse owners faced with the dilemma regarding the timely euthanasia of their beloved equine companion often agonize and anguish about the decision in an attempt to do their best to make a wise and timely choice to put their horse down. Given the affection that develops between the owner and horse, these experiences affect many horse owners in intensely emotional ways. The decision to euthanize the horse is equally taxing whether the horse is a sport champion or a child’s pony. Veterinarians can act as a guide, informing and educating owners about their animal’s conditions and present available options. Ultimately however, the decision rests with the horse’s guardian. Certainly there are written guidelines outlining animal suffering and pain, yet quality of life is perceptual. Horses, as sentient beings, have varying abilities to tolerate illness and pain as well. Clear decision-making is further blurred by advances in medical treatment and costs, for this often compounds the emotional burden of owners who want to know that they have done everything they pos-

sibly could for their equine companion. No one really knows for sure the answer to the question, “When is the time right?” Mindfully looking at the horse itself will bring the most genuine of answers regarding the horse’s quality of life. “Can the horse move and/or does the horse move comfortably?” Movement is inherent to the nature of a horse and thus intimately linked with its quality of life. Horses that no longer share in the companionship of other horses while eating and moving together, and grooming one another distress mentally and physically. Eventually they separate themselves from others and no longer engage in the movement of life. The next questions to ask are, “Does the horse eat well?” and, “Can the horse maintain an appropriate body weight throughout all the seasons?” Often aged horses that are den-

tally challenged can no longer maintain their body condition well enough to remain comfortable when the winter season arrives. A moderate body condition is necessary to stave off the bitter cold of winter. These horses generally show their struggle with weight loss in the late winter/early spring. If they make it through to spring they temporarily seem to rebound making a recovery when green grass returns. Although appropriate dental care and dietary management can be of value to these horses they often gradually fail over time. Not all horses rationed to special diets are content about these changes. Horse owners aware of such a declining pattern may elect to euthanize their horse on a beautiful fall day after a “good” summer’s life, sparing the horse the hardship of another winter season. The next question, although more subjective in its answers

Goat milk producers voting on mandatory checkoff Ontario is the largest goat milk-producing jurisdiction in North America By John Greig Glacier FarmMedia

n t a r i o’s g o a t p r o ducers will be voting from Feb. 27 to March 10 on a proposal to create a producer association under the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Act. The designation would allow Ontario Goat to collect a mandator y licence fee of $0.005 per litre of goat milk marketed from licensed goat farms. The $0.005 is the same as the voluntary checkoff currently in place that funds Ontario Goat.

There is no intention to collect a mandatory fee from non-licensed goat milk, goat meat and goat fibre producers at this point, although they can still belong to the organization under a voluntar y membership structure. Ontario is the largest goat milk-producing jurisdiction in North America, producing a third of the goat milk on the continent. It is one of the fastest-growing agriculture sectors in Ontario and produces 79 per cent of the goat milk in Canada. L a rg e d a i r y p ro c e s s o r s have moved into Ontario goat milk processing over

the past several years, creating more long-term stability. “In all our consultations, it is clear that ever yone in the industry agrees we must have a representative organization with a permanent governance and funding structure in place before we can move forward on any other objective or priority,” said OG president Anton Slingerland. In 2012, a more ambitious plan by Ontario Goat to attain marketing board status and charge a higher checkoff fee on both milk and meat failed in a producer vote.

is equally valid. “Has the horse’s approach and attitude to life changed?” As the horse’s body becomes weary with chronic illness such as laminitis, arthritis, or heaves, the horse itself becomes dull, disinterested, and indifferent to the happenings surrounding it. “Does the horse require caretaking and financial commitments that are beyond the owner’s capabilities and bank account?” This is not a question of judgment, but one of high pragmatic and practical relevance. Financial and caretaking responsibilities that become burdens can have far-reaching consequences for the family and the animal. When the decision to euthanize a horse is made, the next question is, “Do you want to be present when the euthanasia is done?” Despite the humane methods being used, euthanasia of a horse can be a difficult and disturbing experience

to witness. The most common method of euthanasia is via lethal injection of barbiturate anesthetic. Generally the horse is sedated with a tranquilizer prior to lethal injection. The process is similar to placing the horse under anesthesia as the barbiturate overdose induces a coma-like state of the brain. When the nerve centre that controls breathing stops functioning so does breathing. Another method of euthanasia that is considered humane — if it is performed correctly — is a penetrating captive bolt or gunshot by a highly trained individual. The final question to consider is, “What will be done with the horse’s body?” Many owners prefer to have their horse buried on the farm. In most circumstances arrangements will need to be made with a backhoe operator to dig the necessary hole. On-farm burials need to comply with appropriateness of zoning or municipality ordinances. In some areas, the option may be available to have the carcass rendered. Presently cremation of such a large carcass is difficult and generally unavailable. Under the stewardship of nature a horse’s fate is clearly deter mined. When human beings become stewards and guardians of horses, much of their care and fate is determined from our perspective. All aspects of their care, including euthanasia are best done in honour of their dignity and quality of life. Carol Shwetz is a veterinarian focusing on equine practice in Millarville, Alta.

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

No big warm-up before end of month Issued: Monday, April 17, 2017 · Covering: April 19 – April 26, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

ast week’s forecast once again turned out to be pretty good. A strong area of low pressure did form late last week and tracked through the north-central Prairie provinces over the weekend. Southern regions ended up seeing nicerthan-expected weather last Friday and Saturday, but a small fairly strong upper-level system brought some unwanted rain early on Sunday. For this forecast period it looks like we will be mostly dry as the main storm track stays to our south. A strong area of low pressure will track through South Dakota on Wednesday and Thursday and indications are that all of the rainfall from this system will remain well to our south. The weather models are then developing a pattern that has us squeezed between arctic high pressure to our north and low pressure to our south and west. The first arctic high is forecasted to slide by over the weekend. At the same time, an area of low pressure is forecast to form over

Alberta and move southeastward into North Dakota on Saturday. Currently, the weather models show this low quickly weakening as it moves into our region, so we should only expect a few showers or flurries depending on the exact timing of this system. Expect temperatures to be a little on the cool side with daytime highs around +10 C and overnight lows near 0 C. This pattern looks to repeat itself during the first half of next week. A fairly strong area of arctic high pressure will slide through northern Manitoba while an area of low pressure tracks through the Dakotas. Confidence in the track of this system is low, with the latest weather model keeping most of the precipitation just to our south. Temperatures look to remain near to slightly below average with no big warm-ups expected before the end of the month. Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 6 to 18 C; lows: -5 to +5 C.

Thunderstorms: Starting with the basics Let’s first look at how the energy from the sun gets back up into the skies BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

ith temperatures slowly starting t o h e a t u p a c ro s s the Prairies, thoughts turn towards summer and summer weather, and in my case, I begin thinking about thunderstorms. After a very active summer last year, I thought it might be time to start looking at this topic again. I also thought it would be a good idea to take a more detailed look at the topic this year. With that in mind, I’m going to start with the basics: what happens when solar energy is absorbed and how this energy eventually results in the development of thunderstorms. When solar energy is absorbed by an object, the molecules in that object are excited, which causes them to vibrate quicker. The faster they vibrate, the warmer the object. It’s fairly apparent why objects will get warm, but now the question is, how does this heat energy get transferred from the object to the atmosphere? The answer lies within four different processes: conduc-

Since it takes a lot of heat to evaporate water, it releases a lot of heat when it condenses.

tion, convection, advection and latent heat transfer. Conduction is the simplest process to understand as it is the transfer of energy from one molecule to the next. As solar energy strikes a surface, the molecules in that object gain energy and they begin to vibrate faster and faster — the object warms up. If you were to put your hand on that object, the molecules on the surface of the object would be vibrating next to the molecules on your hand and some of that energy would be passed onto the molecules in your hand. Now, because the molecules in your hand are vibrating faster, your hand will begin to feel warm. This is conduction of heat. S i m i l a r l y, s o l a r e n e r g y str ikes the Ear th’s sur face causing the molecules to vibrate and heat up. The molecules in the air immediately over the ground surface begin

to vibrate faster, too, as they come into contact with molecules in the ground, thus the air heats up. This process will only be able to heat about the bottom two centimetres of the atmosphere, so now the question is, how does this heat get transferred throughout the atmosphere? You guessed it: this is where convection, advection and latent heat transfer come in. Basically, convection and advection are very similar. They both refer to the physical mixing of the atmosphere. Convection is when the mixing occurs primarily in a vertical direction and advection is when it occurs in a primarily horizontal direction. How convection takes place has to do with density and the fact that less-dense objects are more buoyant. When part of the atmosphere heats through conduction, the molecules are vibrating faster and that faster

motion also means they need more space around them. Taking up more space means there will be fewer molecules in a given area. Since density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, fewer molecules (less mass) in a given volume of air would result in a lower density of that air. Since the air is now less dense than the air above it, that air will begin to rise, taking heat energy from the surface of the Earth and moving it into the atmosphere. Once this heat energy is in the atmosphere, currents of air, or wind, can move the heat horizontally from one area to another. This is known as advection.

Unrealized heat The final process for moving heat energy around is by latent heat transfer. The term latent means that something potentially exists, but is not currently in existence or realized. In latent heat, we have heat that exists, but is not actually present yet as heat. So how does this work? It has to do with water and the fact that it takes heat energy to turn water from a liquid to gas. As water absorbs solar energy,

the molecules get excited and vibrate faster and faster. Eventually, the molecules at the surface of the water will vibrate fast enough to break free from the rest of the water molecules and float away; they are now a gas. What’s interesting is the heat energy it took to cause the liquid water molecule to become gas molecules is still contained within those gas molecules; the potential energy is there. The gaseous water molecules float away from where they acquired their heat energy and at some point begin to lose some of their energy and cool down. As they cool, they eventually condense back into liquid water and, at that point, release all of the heat energy they absorbed to become a gas (or evaporate) in the first place. Since it takes a lot of heat to evaporate water, it releases a lot of heat when it condenses. This is one of the main driving forces behind the major storm systems that we see, and plays a huge factor in the development of thunderstorms. We’ l l e x p l o re t h i s m o re in future articles as we continue our annual look at thunderstorms.

CROPS h u s b a n d r y — t h e s c i e n c e , S K I L L O R ART O F F AR M IN G

Canola Council of Canada sticks to 2025 production goal T

he Canola Council of Ca n a d a s a y s a d v i c e t o lengthen rotations will not change its 2025 yield goals of 52 bushels an acre for a total 26 million tonnes. Typical wheat-canola rotation has fallen out of favour with agronomy experts, who argue that longer rotations are needed to manage disease such as blackleg, verticillium wilt or clubroot. Curtis Rempel, Canola Council of Canada vice-president of crop production and innovation, said the goals are demand driven, based on market projections. “I don’t think there’s much reason when we’re looking at the landscape right now to really change that demand number, so then the question is, can we supply that demand? When we factored in our analysis, we knew that the number has to come from increasing yield per acre,” he said. “From our perspective, it’s increasing yield per acre, increasing profitability, increasing sustainability and reducing production risk. It’s not yield at all costs.”

Longer Anastasia Kubinec, acting manager of crop industry development with Manitoba Agriculture, is among those advising longer rotations. Manitoba producers took off 40.3 bushels per acre on average in 2015, according to data from the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC), but Kubinec says pockets of producers have hit a yield ceiling due to blackleg and are no longer seeing the increases they previously enjoyed with new varieties. “Farmers have seen that they’ve had reduced canola yields or they’re seeing higher disease pressures or disease pressures regardless of the tools that they’re using,” she said. “They’re not able to just kind of deal with it the way that they used to be able to deal with some of those disease issues, but they are finding if they throw in another crop and have

a bit longer crop rotation, then they are getting a handle on the disease.” According to the 2016 Manitoba Canola Disease Survey, blackleg was the second most common canola ailment and was present in 80 per cent of tested fields with a severity ranging between 1.5 and 1.6 out of five. Blackleg has been noted in resistant crops in recent years, something Kubinec has also tied partially to tight rotations. “Resistance for blackleg isn’t immunity; it’s resistance. It can be broken,” she said. “What we have been finding is what resistance is available in the varieties and what the actual races or pathotypes are in the field aren’t always necessarily matching up.” It is Kubinec’s view, however, that yields may still meet the Canola Council of Canada’s goals even with more acres tied up in longer rotations. Canola may be added into rotations with other crops that are also looking for longer rotations, she said, while longer rotations may bolster yield during years when canola is grown.

Roadblocks Rotation was considered in the Canola Council of Canada’s road map to 2025, Rempel said. The

council recommends at least one year between canola crops, with two or three years preferred. Kubinec acknowledged that lengthening rotations may be problematic depending on crops added, whether the producer has the knowledge and equipment needed to produce the new crop, and proximity to the new market. L o n g e r r o t a t i o n s a re a l s o unlikely to affect sclerotinia, as spores may remain active in the soil for seven years or more. Additionally, Kubinec pointed out, other crops in the rotation may be equally vulnerable to the disease. Last year’s Manitoba Canola Disease Survey showed sclerotinia was present in well over 90 per cent of the 105 fields tested with a record severity rating of 3.2 out of four.

Road map to 2025 The “52 by 2025” strategy expects to add eight bushels an acre of yield due to genetic improvements, three additional bushels from improving seeding practices, another three from fertility management, and two additional bushels per acre from both integrated pest management and harvest management. Straight cutting, harvest timing, pest control thresholds, encouraging beneficial insects and 4R nutri-

ent management (right source applied at the right rate at the right time and in the right place) are among the practices advocated by the canola council. “We’re really working at biodiversity and what is the dollar value of conserving wetlands and headlands and those sorts of things in terms of building up beneficial insects,” Rempel said. Chuck Fossay, chair of the Manitoba Canola Growers, says yields in Manitoba are already meeting or on track for 52 bushels an acre in some areas and may increase as producers weed out lesser performing varieties. “It doesn’t require more acres,” he said. “It’s basically saying that t h ro u g h g o o d m a n a g e m e n t , whether it’s better fertilizer, better harvesting techniques and also new varieties, that we should be able to increase the production without bringing more land seeded to canola.” The canola council has pointed to yield variability across the Prairies to justify the goals. Most canola acres in Manitoba reported “moderately high” yield variability, according to the council, with pockets of “high” or “veryhigh” variability near Dauphin and southeast Manitoba. Gregory Sekulic, sustainability specialist with the Canola Council of Canada, pointed to breeding advancements, which he says will bring increased ability for plants to absorb environmental stress. “What we’re really seeing is increases in yield potential, absolutely, but also huge increases in how these cultivars and varieties deal with weather-related stress and weather- and insect-related stress as well. So I think more what we would be looking at in the variability across the Prairies is more of an increase in consistency than an equalization of yield across the Prairies,” he said. Over 3.1 million acres of canola were grown in Manitoba in 2016, down 1.6 per cent from the previous year, with an average yield of 39 bushels per acre, according to Statistics Canada.

Carbon tax more efficient than regulations: Coyne And just because the Americans don’t have one doesn’t mean Canada will be less competitive, according to the National Post columnist BY ALLAN DAWSON

“Carbon pricing I guarantee you is cheaper by multiple factors than the alternatives that are often proposed.”

Co-operator staff / Calgary

f Canadians want to cut carbon emissions to mitigate climate change, a carbon tax is the most efficient way to do it, says National Post, columnist Andrew Coyne. “My economics training tells me that’s the best way to approach this,” Coyne told the Canadian Global Crops Symposium April 12. “Carbon pricing I guarantee you is cheaper by multiple factors than the alternatives that are often proposed,” he said. “Subsidizing people to use less carbon is really a cost-ineffective way to do it. And regulation is impossible to enforce. I know people are having to grapple with the challenge that it presents, but if we are going to do something about this international problem well then that’s the way to go.” Under the Paris agreement to mitigate climate change, Ca n a d a a g re e d t o c u t i t s greenhouse gas emissions 30 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030. To that end Ottawa says every province must have a $10-a-tonne price on carbon dioxide starting in 2018, rising $10 a year to $50 by 2022. Revenues collected remain with the provinces. Coyne, who espouses marketbased solutions, said provincial governments can make a carbon tax revenue neutral. If governments collect more revenue when people fuel up their cars, governments can cut income taxes, he said. “If you use the revenues from a carbon tax to lower other taxes maybe it could be salable,” he said. Coyne disagreed with Alberta Wheat Commission chair and farmer Kevin Auch when he

said a carbon tax would make Canadian farmers uncompetitive with the United States. “I ’m n o t o f t h e s c h o o l that says we can’t do it if the Americans don’t,” Coyne said. In 1988 some argued Canada couldn’t enter into a free trade deal with the U.S. because Medicare would make Canada uncompetitive. “This is simply not true,” Coyne said. “Countries with different cost structures can still trade and still compete and the thing that guarantees it is the exchange rate. If you’re not competitive at 78 cents you will be at 75 cents or 72 cents. There is a level at which costs get evened out. And all you can really do as a society is to make sure that you’re not overly burdening one sector. What is really

involved with trade protectionism is not pitting one country against another country. It’s pitting one sector against another.” Moreover, Trump is unpredictable and is floating a trial ballon, hinting at a carbon tax, while some states are introducing their own carbon taxes, Coyne said. Coyne also disagreed with Auch’s contention that the carbon tax is similar to the manufacturer’s tax replaced by the Goods and Services Tax. The manufacturer’s sales tax, which put Canadian manufacturers at a competitive disadvantage to imports, only affected the manufacturing sector, Coyne said. “(Pr icing carbon) is the cheapest way to do it from the perspective of the country as

a whole,” Coyne told another questioner. “It’s going to have a larger impact on some sectors than others and maybe you can lobby as an agricultural sector to try and have some of that alleviated... but then it’s going to fall on somebody else. And if you’re in government your job is to balance those interests and do it the fairest way possible.” Coy n e s a i d h e b e l i e v e s Canada should fulfil its international commitments to reduce carbon emissions and if it doesn’t it “may face penalties...” But being a free rider and not meeting the targets is an option, he added. “We’re 1.6 per cent of world emissions,” he said. “The fate of the planet does not rest on what Canada does.”

Environmental policy doesn’t necessarily have to override policies to encourage innovation, Coyne said in answer to a question from Stuart Symth, the industr y-funded Agr iFood Innovation chair at the University of Saskatchewan. “I am more struck by the commonalities...” Coyne said. “They are both ultimately a b o u t m i n i m i z i n g w a s t e. Whether you want to minimize waste to save the planet or to minimize waste to get rich it is ultimately the same idea.” Increasing trade with China is a thorny issue, Coyne said in response to Soy Canada executive director Jim Everson. China is a major buyer of Canadian agricultural products and is pushing Canada for a free trade agreement. But China has one of the worst human rights records in the world, Coyne said. “Do we want to have free trade treaties with governments with such terrible policies? But they are also the world’s largest country and if we don’t trade with them other countries are going to,” Coyne said. “We can’t change China, but what we can do in these negotiations is to not allow them to change us.” Justin Trudeau’s economic advisory panel, chaired by management consulting firm McKinsey’s global managing partner Dominic Barton, has concluded agriculture and food processing can be key drivers in the Canadian economy. That’s good news for an important sector that sometimes feels overlooked, Canadian International Grains Institute CEO JoAnne Buth told Coyne. But Coyne said he wasn’t pleased by the report. “The notion that the government should pick certain sectors as being key sectors and should target industrial aid, or what have you, to those sectors I think is a fallacy,” he said. “Nobody knows what the industries of the future are going to be. For your sake I hope agrifood is a big one, but I don’t know and frankly neither do you. Nobody knows.” Many of today’s biggest industries didn’t exist 20 years ago, Coyne said. And some of the important industries of the future don’t exist today. “That’s the nature of an economy,” he said. What governments should do is remove policies that hold industry back, Coyne added. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Pollinator support program coming to Manitoba this summer

The North America-wide initiative between General Mills and the Xerces Society aims to establish 3,000 acres of pollinator habitat in Manitoba by 2021. The program will host demo workshops here this summer BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff / La Riviere

ative bees play a crucial role in a healthy environment but they need our help. T h a t ’s t h e m e s s a g e a n Agr iculture Canada staffer had for farmers and other r u ra l l a n d ow n e r s m e e t i n g here earlier this month. Melanie Dubois is a senior riparian and biodiversity biologist, based at Agriculture a n d A g r i - F o o d C a n a d a’s Brandon Research and Development Centre, who has been assessing the specific habitat needs of native bees. These native pollinators play an important role in a healthy functioning ecosystem, yet we don’t give them much attention, Dubois t o l d t h e P e m b i n a Va l l e y Conservation District. Much of that has to do with the difficulty calculating the value of native pollinators versus managed honeybees. “They’re sometimes a forgotten part of our ecosystem,” she said. Many are even surprised to know there’s such a thing as a native bee. Across Canada there are 797 species of native bees, of which 231 are found right here in Manitoba. They range in size and colour, and some wouldn’t even be recognizably a bee to an untrained eye. About 80 per cent of Manitoba’s native bees are ground nesters, meaning they require tracts of undisturbed soil to establish small colonies. These native bees also evolved within an ecosystem of specific floral mixes. Both can be scarce in agro-Manitoba. “Some of the pressures on our native bees in Manitoba and specifically agro-Manitoba have to do with habitat fragmentation and habitat loss, and pressures from tillage and pesticide use,” she said. Dubois’ ongoing research is testing pest management and habitat enhancement practices and how these impact n a t i ve p o l l i n a t o r s. It n ow intersects with a new program coming to Manitoba later this year. L a s t Nov e m b e r G e n e r a l Mi l l s , t h e X e rc e s So c i e t y, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a joint partnership to restore and protect pollinator habitat on farmland across North Amer ica using a five-year, $4-million financial commitment between General Mills and USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). By 2021 the aim is to establish 100,000 acres of habitat, including 3,000 here in Manitoba, through providing farmers with seed sources and technical assistance. Naturally, the main question that raises is, ‘does it mean taking land out of production?’ said Dubois. It doesn’t. “Really what it all comes down to is flowers,” she said,

adding that establishing habitat for pollinators can take many forms including tracts of undisturbed ground, flowering hedgerows, cover crops and filter strips. The program is aimed specifically at oat growers and will provide seed sources for floral resources, which can otherwise be expensive and h a rd t o f i n d , a n d t e c h n i cal advice needed to establish and maintain these plantings.

SOIL CO N S E RVAT I O N W E E K — A P R I L 1 6 - 22

Planning for a bumper crop of underwear The Soil Conservation Council of Canada is hoping underwear will be neither tight nor white after two months in the ground BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD

“When you put that underwear in the soil, immediately it triggers a little bit of laughter and so laughter then triggers the memory reflex, so it all ties together so nicely.”

Co-operator staff

otton underwear should be the latest tool producers use to measure soil health. Soil Your Undies, a campaign pushed by the Soil Conservation Council of Canada as part of its 30th annual awareness week April 16-22, encourages Canadians to bury a pair of cotton underwear for two months. If soil is healthy, with a healthy portion of microbial life, insects, carbon and biological activity, there shouldn’t be much left when the underwear is dug out. “When you put that underwear in the soil, immediately it triggers a little bit of laughter and so laughter then triggers the memory reflex, so it all ties together so nicely,” Blake Vince of the Innovative Farmers of Ontario said. Vince was one of a handful of producers to found the campaign. The group based the test on previous experiments measuring cotton degradation after being exposed to soils. They soon hit on the idea of burying pure cotton underwear, which is easily available and attention grabbing. The results were a striking visual difference between underwear buried in conventionally tilled fields, with some degradation, and Vince’s own no-till, cover-cropped acres, which reduced the briefs to almost nothing. The group created the hashtag, #soilyourundies, filmed YouTube videos, and sponsored a contest encouraging producers to bury underwear on their own land. Soon after, the experiment caught the eye of seventh grader Michael

Jones, who adopted it for a 4-H science project that eventually won him the 2016 4-H Canada Science Fair.

Cross-country With the Soil Conservation Council of Canada, the grassroots campaign is about to go national. “We’re all pretty happy that they’ve picked up on it and they’re willing to take it to another level,” Vince said. “That’s what it’s all about. Across Canada, soil needs to be seen as a non-renewable resource and that we need to do a better job at the farm level of managing soil and realizing that it is the most precious resource that we have as farmers.” J i m To k a r c h u k , S o i l Conservation Council of Canada executive director, said the campaign is an effort to branch out to Canadians as a whole. “You can do that on your farm, in your home garden, in your flower bed, anywhere there’s soil... it’s just a chance for everybody, regardless of where they come from, to do a little bit of an experi-

ment that will tell them about soil health,” he said. The campaign is the main event of the week. Participants are asked to post the experience to social media with the hashtag #soily ourundies. Highlights will be presented at the Summit on Canadian Soil Health in Guelph, Ont., this summer. Instructions and information on the Soil Your Undies campaign is available on the council’s website, www.soilcc.ca. “The whole purpose of national soil conservation week is to inform Canadians of the importance of soil health, soil conservation and to remind them that the productivity of our soils is the foundation of our food supplies and that agriculture is a significant contributor to our national economy and that all of that is founded in us maintaining soil health in Canada,” Tokarchuk said. “We traditionally have done a pretty good job with dealing with soil erosion and building organic matter across Canada, but it’s something that requires ongoing diligence.” According to a 2015 report by the

Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, soil degradation in the Canadian Prairies decreased from 1991 to 2006 due to a drop in tillage summerfallow, a shift that also reduced salinity risk. Prairie soils at “verylow” or “low” risk of salinity grew 19 per cent between 1981 and 2011, while “high” or “very-high” risk soils declined from 15 to eight per cent. Most of Manitoba rated in the lowest-risk categories, with patches of moderate risk in southcentral and southwest Manitoba. Soil organic levels were, likewise, increasing through the ’90s and into 2011 across the Prairies due to farm practice improvements, according to the report.

Still challenges Michael Thiele, grazing club co-ordinator with the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association and Ducks Unlimited, welcomed the message of the week. Past grazing club events have focused on carbon sequestration, cover crops, biodiversity and land reclamation. Unlike Tokarchuk, however, Thiele was more bleak about the current status of Canadian soil. “I think this is really the fundamental issue in agriculture

and I don’t think we’ll make a lot of progress until we appreciate the significance of the problem, because our soils are degraded,” he said. The same 2015 report found no increase in soil carbon in much of south-central and southeast Manitoba, although large portions of western Manitoba saw anywhere from 25 to over 90 kilograms more organic carbon per hectare per year. Residual nitrogen levels also put most of southern Manitoba in the red, with over 40 kilograms of residual nitrogen per hectare. Most of southern Manitoba, likewise, rated a “high” or “moderately high” risk of water contamination by excess phosphorus. Both Tokarchuk and Thiele noted that the conversation around soil health has grown in agricultural circles. “I think that the interest, certainly, in using soil as a source of carbon sequestration is rising,” Tokarchuk said. “There’s a lot more activity and interest about that in Canada and I think we’re seeing a resurgence at grassroots levels with farmers in making themselves more aware and then actually practising reduced tillage.” astockford@farmmedia.com

A ‘new conventional’ approach to crop production

Organic and no-till farmers, once polar opposites on the farming spectrum, are finding common ground — in their soil BY LAURA RANCE FBC editorial director / Regina, Sask.

erek Axten can cite a long list of advantages to incorporating cover crops, companion planting and intercropping into his farm plan. He has practically eliminated the use of insecticides and seed treatments, his herbicide and fertilizer use is dramatically reduced and the need for fungicides almost nil. Yet his yields have never been better, his crop quality is good and his weed populations are dropping. “I’m having more fun, I know that,” the Minton, Sask. farmer said in an interview. “I think a lot of it is reduced risk and reduced stress. I don’t have to get all that money back.” The Axtens began transitioning away from tillage on their clay loam soils in the mid-1990s. “Our land is so fragile we don’t want to till ever,” he said noting that even though he’s reduced inputs he’s not keen on going organic. “I don’t want to give up the tools; I don’t want my

decisions to be driven by that paradigm. “But it’s funny, we’re getting closer to organic a little bit every year.” Close enough that Axten was one of the keynote speakers at this year’s SaskOrganic annual meeting. “We are still conventional farmers,” Axten told the 150 farmers in attendance. “But I haven’t had the need to use insecticides or seed treatments on the farm for six years.” The one exception has been pre-treated chickpea seed.

Soil sense It seems organic and no-till farmers, once polar opposites on the farming spectrum, are finding common ground — in their soil. By improving the health of their soils, no-till farmers are finding they use fewer herbicides, pesticides and fungicides. Organic farmers are finding they don’t need to plow as much. “The point is, that they are both trying to do the same thing. They are both trying to have healthy biologically active soils. They are just choosing different ways to get the same end point,” soil scientist Jill Clapperton said in an interview.

She describes Axten’s approach as the “the new conventional” in agriculture. “I’m talking about the farmers who are choosing not to be organic but also choosing to reduce or not use chemicals,” the former Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada researcher says. “They are looking to create an agro ecosystem in their farming practices. “They are trying to meet in the middle where they are saying, I want every tool in the tool box just in case, but if I don’t need to use it, I’m going to choose not to,” she said. While organic farmers will find it difficult to eliminate tillage

Soil scientist Jill Clapperton met with farmers at the SaskOrganic annual meeting in Regina March 31.

entirely, the less disturbance they do to their soils the better their soil quality will become. Axten told his audience he is always a little stumped by the frequently asked question: what is your crop rotation? “I don’t have a rotation,” he said. He plants lots of different crops. “In 2016 we had 16 crops, but that’s way too much.” His goal is to keep his soil covered with growing plants for as much of the year as possible, and with as much biodiversity as he can muster. “Living roots and diversity are what we are shooting for,” he said. The objective is to keep nature

guessing. “So we’re making sure there’s no pattern.” He has started intercropping pulses and oilseeds after hearing about fellow Saskatchewan farmer Colin Rosengren’s experiences with it. He’s been equally pleased with the results. He’s worked with Clearfield canola and peas, as well as lentils and brown mustard and says yields are routinely 110 per cent of normal yields. “We’re spending less and getting more,” he said. Organic farmers don’t typically grow canola because GMOs are not allowed in the organic system. But they might mix brown mustard with a pulse crop. “I really like the idea of permaculture, where something is growing all the time,” he said. “Plants will sequester five to 50 per cent of the carbon they synthesize into the soil,” he said. “That’s our goal. Carbon is what drives the system. We want to get more into the soil.” Axten said there’s a lot of things going on in his soils that he doesn’t yet understand. “We just need to keep pushing the boundaries to find out where those lines are,” he said.

The four factors that are changing agriculture Don’t look back, the world is changing far too fast, says an American author and farmer

Jump in: Ag needs more women leaders Attendees at Advancing Women Conference told their voices are needed — and they need to encourage each other to speak up

If you’re not ready to adapt and communicate with the public, you could lose your place in agriculture. “In agriculture, we tend to hang out to the best of the past,” said Jolene Brown, farmer, author and well-known speaker. “You’ve all heard the phrase, ‘If you always do what you’ve always done, you will get what you’ve always gotten.’ “I disagree. I think if you always do what you’ve always done, then you’ll be out of business.” There are four “Ps” affecting both producers and their customers: pace, people, processes, and product, Brown said in a keynote address at the recent Advancing Women conference. The pace of life has greatly sped up, she said. “People want what they want and they want it right now,” said the Iowa farmer, who admits to grocery shopping online herself. “Technology is making this possible. Technology is everywhere. You cannot hide from it. Some of you have grown a new appendage, and it is your smartphone,” she joked. People have also changed. A big portion of the large majority who don’t farm use YouTube, social media, and their buying power to influence how the few remaining farmers go about their business. “We have to learn how to communicate with people,” said Brown. “It might be in a casual conversation or it might be with a microphone in front of your face. You never know when.” Know the hot-button topics of the day and if you belong to an ag organization “don’t you dare leave a meeting without the last item on the agenda being, ‘So what questions might we be asked this month?’ “You’ve got to prepare. You and I can truly anticipate 75 per cent of all questions we will be asked. You have got to know the hot topics that relate to your job, what you do, and to all of agriculture.” And you may find yourself speaking for another farm sector — whether that’s cattle producers asked about GMOs or crop producers being queried about inseminating cows, she said. Know the key messages and how to tell those stories. “If you aren’t going to stand up and speak on behalf of agriculture, you darn well better be supporting the people who speak on your behalf,” Brown said to applause. Another people change she highlighted deals with succession. The older generation has to hand the next generation the reins, she said. Third, the processes used in agriculture have changed — everything is now monitored and measured. Consumers want to know everything about their food and every process that occurs along the way. Producers need to be able to answer questions without talking down. “As you go through the process, can you educate and not humiliate? This is extremely important,” she said. Finally, agricultural products have also changed. “The value of what you do is in the eye of the purchaser, not the producer,” she said. An often-forgotten part of adding value is your attitude, she added, noting people like doing business with people who enjoy what they do. In fact, customers aren’t just buying products but also additional attributes, she said. Everyone wants to save time, nobody wants to get old, and nobody wants to get sick. People are very interested in safety, and they want to purchase experiences. Finally, Brown advised her audience not to be victims, or to wish for the past. “If you spend all your energy looking back for the good old days, you have no energy to stand up and speak up and be in agriculture today,” she said. akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

omen are still a minority in farming but they can — and should — play a leading role. That was a recurring theme at this year’s Advancing Women Conference, where attendees were told their leadership and communication skills are badly needed. “Women’s voices are needed, that’s my underlying message — your hard work, your commitment, your dedication, whether you’re in an office or in the field, no matter where you are in the value chain,” said Krysta Harden, who has been a deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and chief of staff to former ag secretary Tom Vilsack. Although Harden, who grew up on a peanut farm in Georgia, became a top power broker in Washington, she said women can influence the future of agriculture in a variety of roles. She highlighted the power of effective communication. People may not remember the exact words you used, but will never forget how a compelling story made them feel. And there is real power in agriculture’s story when properly told, she said. “It’s not for the pay, it’s not for the glory — it’s for the sheer love of it,” said Harden, now public policy and chief sustainability officer with DuPont. “How do we tell that story? That’s the story that no one does better than women.” That’s especially important when connecting with today’s consumers, she added. “When the consuming public — who doesn’t understand what we do on the farm or ranch, and who doesn’t understand your role in agribusiness — when they see your face, and you talk about your family and your kids and your worries, they perk up. They want to know more.” Harden urged her audience to speak up, whether that’s at the kitchen table, in a boardroom, or at a meeting of a community group. “This is not about taking away voices or diminishing our enlightened male colleagues,” she said. “It’s about adding your chair. Adding your voice to it. Adding your understanding of things.” That’s exactly what one of Canada’s best-known farm leaders did a decade and a half ago — although taking that plunge was daunting, said Cherilyn Nagel. “I admit that there were times on my journey when I felt intimidated,” said Nagel, who began by volunteering and serving on boards like the Grain Growers of Canada and the Western Canadian Wheat Growers. “I felt inadequate, and I felt inexperienced. I was 22 and had never sat on a formal board before.” In 2004, Nagel became the first female president of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association and a leading advocate of ending the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board.

“I wasn’t an expert on wheat markets, but I had a passion to make a change,” she said. She urged conference attendees to trust in their ability to make a difference. “Many of you have been asked to let your name stand for election on a board, and are interested in getting involved in a particular issue, but you haven’t done it yet,” she said. “Maybe that’s because you feel inadequate or inexperienced — don’t let that stop you.” She said she soon learned that her young male colleagues also felt as inadequate, intimidated, and inexperienced as she did. She also discovered how to overcome those fears. “The best way to overcome intimidation is to know your stuff,” said Nagel, who farms near Mossbank, Sask. “Learn the files and surround yourself with men and women who can help you navigate. Knowledge and networking will give you the confidence to assert yourself, but only time will give you experience.” In addition to being a director of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers, Nagel also works with Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan to raise awareness and appreciation of agriculture. Farmers need to be leading that effort, said Harden. “What’s so special about our industry — and different than so many others — is that it is based on your passion and your commitment,” she said. “Your love of the land. Your commitment for caring for or feeding others. “Whether you’re a small shareholder farmer in southern Africa or a large commercial farmer in Canada, the things you have in common are what make this industry strong.” She then challenged attendees to “make sure you help each other.”

“Maybe that’s because you feel inadequate or inexperienced — don’t let that stop you.” Cherilyn Nagel

“Women have to help women. You’ve got to have each other’s back,” Harden said to applause from the room. “Think about who you can help, who you can be there for, who you can support, who you encourage to say, ‘Ride with me to this meeting’ so you won’t be the lone voice." Helping other women can mean taking the time to teach, showing that you care, and hiring or promoting them, she added. “It’s making sure you help each other because your voice is needed. It’s demanded. It is required at this point to tell that story about who we are as an industry, who we are as a people, and the difference that we make, either here or around the world.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Prairie fare Table etiquette 101 It’s a rare thing in this busy era, but try to have a dining experience now and then BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

“

om, just because they put it on your plate doesn’t mean you have to eat it,” my 12-year-old commented as we sat at a table at a culinary college in another state. Every time I finished a slice of fresh bread, one of the attentive culinary students placed another slice on my plate. I finally asked them to remove the plate. My husband, our daughters and I were having fun in a fancy student-run restaurant complete with white linen tablecloths and napkins, but without the fancy price tag. Our daughters giggled when the students arrived with the small table-cleaning brush to remove the bread crumbs. We don’t have that type of tool in our home. Only one item did not agree with my palate during our three-course meal. A student came by with a platter of beautiful appetizers, but she was very soft-spoken and I did not catch what she said when she placed one on my plate. It had a base of bread, a tan-coloured filling and some tiny pieces of chopped beet on top. “What did she say this is?” I asked my husband quietly. “I have no idea,” he replied. We both took a bite simultaneously. I wish I could have seen the grimace on my face because my family laughed. We still didn’t know what we ate. I asked the next attentive student who came by with our soup course. “That was duck foie gras,” he replied. I recognized the term. I had just eaten the puréed liver of a fattened duck, and it is considered a delicacy to some. Spoiler alert: Duck liver will not be featured in a recipe in this column now or ever. Having taught many food classes, I was entertained by the instructors walking by to check if the students had placed the utensils properly on the table. The students served from the left and removed plates from the right. Class was in session around us and we also were instructing our daughters about table etiquette. “We should have dressed up for lunch,” our older daughter commented. She and her sister were dressed in shorts and T-shirts because this was a spur-of-the-moment plan. Our daughters were studying us carefully, so I was trying to be on my best behaviour. My elbows never touched the table. I put my napkin in my lap, and they dutifully

followed suit. This was fun, sort of like a pantomime version of “Simon says.” We had an entire lineup of utensils to use and a variety of glasses, which was more complicated than the average meal in the Robinson household. “Just work from the outside to the centre when you are using the utensils,” my husband noted. “The salad fork is on the left side farthest from the plate and the dinner fork is closer to the plate,” I added in a quiet voice. “Your soup spoon is the farthest utensil on the right. Be sure to scoop your soup away from you and don’t slurp.” We had a “dining experience” as we enjoyed our meal. Eating more slowly allows time to enjoy food and provides an opportunity for your brain and stomach to connect. I cut a couple of bites from my roasted chicken and asparagus main course. Mealtime etiquette varies a bit depending on where you live. According to some standard meal etiquette rules, the napkin stays in your lap until the end of the meal and then gets placed to the left of the plate. You do not need to refold it. Using a cellphone at the table is considered bad etiquette, so I curbed my desire to do some quick checking about etiquette. The way that forks and knives are managed at the table varies by location. Most people in North America use “American-style” handling of knives and forks. When cutting meat, righthanded people hold the fork in their left hand

and cut with their knife with their right hand. Then they swap the position of the utensils to eat. In “continental-style” dining, the fork remains in the left hand, tines down, and the knife in the right hand. You do not switch hands, and you do not set your utensils down. To me, this would be like eating “left handed,” which might be a good diet plan because the food would fall off the fork before reaching my mouth. I probably wouldn’t starve. In continental style, when you need a drink of water, you put both utensils down, crossing the knife over the fork. I could not remember the exact position the knife and fork needed to be on my plate to signal we were done. I looked over my shoulder at the people at the next table and followed their lead. Their utensils seemed to be at about the 4:20 position, if you think of plates as a clock face. (They knew what they were doing.) Signalling you are “resting” before continuing to eat can be shown in many ways, but the knife and fork are kept on the plate. If you like to host fancy dinner parties, you can find “rules” in many cookbooks, especially older cookbooks with an entertaining guide. For example, passing the salt and pepper together is a good rule. Technically, you should not salt and pepper food without tasting it first. I recommend having a dining experience now and then. Here’s a recipe fairly similar to my main course at the culinary school.

2-1/2 hours, until juices run clear and the internal temperature is 165 F. Baste the chicken a couple of times during roasting with the juices in the pan. A 3-ounce portion of roasted chicken (about the size of a deck of cards) without skin and without added salt has 150 calories, 7 grams (g) fat, 20 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate, 0 g fibre and 80 milligrams sodium.

“

randma! Look what I got!” Little Allison Jackson burst into the front door of Andrew and Rose’s house holding up a brightly coloured basket for her grandmother to see. Rose bent down to look. “Oh my goodness,” she exclaimed. “What are those, my dear?” “Easter eggs!” said Allison excitedly. “The Easter bunny was in our house and hided them everywhere and Daddy said I could have all the Easter eggs I could find and these are the ones I finded.” “Found,” said Rose, laughing. “The ones you found.” “Yup. I finded them,” said Allison. “Are we going to have them for dinner?” asked Rose. “No, of course not. That’s silly. Eggs are for breakfast,” said Allison. “And these are not the right kind of eggs. ’Cause they’re chocolate!” “Chocolate? My word! A bunny was in your house hiding eggs made of chocolate? How strange.” Rose picked her granddaughter up and gave her a big hug. “Will you share one of your eggs with me later? After dinner?” “It was the Easter bunny,” Allison explained. “You can have one. Or two. I’m not sure.” “One will be enough I think,” said Rose. “OK.” Allison sounded relieved. “Did the Easter bunny leave any eggs for your brother?” Rose asked. “If he didn’t you would have to share yours wouldn’t you? Otherwise it wouldn’t be fair.” “Of course he did,” said Allison. “He leaved some for everybody. Except Daddy doesn’t like Easter eggs so he gave his to Mommy. But I got the most because I’m very good at finding eggs.” “Are you now?” said Rose. “So tell me. If the Easter bunny had come to this house and hidden Easter eggs here, do you think you could find those Easter eggs?” “Did the Easter bunny come here?” Allison asked, wide eyed. “What do you think?” asked Rose.

“Maybe he did,” said Allison hopefully. “If he did, I can find the Easter eggs for you. If you want me too.” “Well, I think he did come here,” said Rose, “but you can’t start looking for eggs until your brother comes inside.” “OK!” The little girl squirmed out of her grandmother’s arms and dashed back to the door. She threw it opened and yelled out, “Hurry up everybody! The Easter bunny was here! We have to help Grandma find the Easter eggs! Hurry up!” Allison’s mother Jackie appeared in the doorway. “Calm down honey,” she said. “Those eggs are not going anywhere.” “I’m going to need a bigger basket,” said Allison. “Mine is almost full.” “You could put some of your eggs in Andy’s basket,” suggested Rose. “Then you would have more room in yours.”

“That would not be a good idea,” said Allison. “I tell you what,” said Rose. “I’ll find a special bowl for you to put the eggs from your basket into, and then you’ll have room for the eggs you find here. Oh look, here’s Grandpa! He can help you with your hunt.” “Hi there munchkin!” Andrew had appeared from the sunroom to greet the visitors, and reached down to tousle Allison’s curly blonde hair. “And there’s the little fella!” he added as Allison’s little brother Andy appeared in the doorway with his father. “Andy! The Easter bunny was here too! We have to find the eggs!” Allison explained excitedly. Andy held up his own little basket for his grandparents to see. “Eggs,” he said simply. “I see that,” said Andrew. “Yummy?” Andy jumped up and down on the spot several times and then nodded. “Yummy,” he agreed. “Well, I think,” said Andrew, “that we need to find the eggs in this house. Because if we don’t they’ll spoil and that will make the house smell bad and then we’d have to come live in your house and we don’t want that do we?” “No we don’t!” Allison was sure of that. “Let’s go!” she dashed through the kitchen and disappeared into the sunroom, with Andrew and little Andy following more slowly. “Wow,” said Jackie. “That’s way too much excitement at 11 o’clock in the morning.” “I need a nap already,” said Randy. “It’s like Christmas all over again.” “Except without the shopping,” said Rose. “Thank goodness for that,” said Jackie. “Religious holidays are all fine and dandy, but they sure can be a lot of work.” “Tell me about it,” said Rose. She paused as the excited sounds of the children’s Easter egg hunt moved from the sunroom into the living room. “But the sound of happy children makes it all worthwhile,” she concluded. “Can’t argue with you there,” said Jackie. “Truer words,” said Randy, “were never spoken.”

Pink flowering almond This early-blooming shrub will put on a display of solid colour By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

ink flowering almond provides a unique and sensational burst of colour in the spring garden. Usually blooming at the end of April or in early May, it creates a stunning cloud of pink bloom. The shrub is not a big one, growing less than two metres tall, and not getting much wider than a metre and a half, but it packs a big punch in the landscape. It is multi-stemmed and has a rather irregular form if allowed to grow naturally, so most gardeners prune it to obtain a more pleasing shape. Pruning should be done immediately after it has bloomed because flowers are produced on the previous year’s growth, so if the shrub is pruned later in the year, next year’s buds will be removed in the process. The stems are thin and produce a lot of side branches, and flowers cling to every available space on the branches and twigs, creating a solid block of colour. Blooms appear before the shrub produces leaves. After blooms have faded (they fall off naturally so no need to deadhead) medium-green, finely serrated leaves appear. Each leaf is less than eight cm long

with an oblong shape and a sharp point. The shrub is not a particularly noticeable specimen when not in bloom, having little fall colour and not producing fruit. Because it sheds its spent blooms and does not produce fruit, it requires little summer maintenance. F l ow e r i n g a l m o n d g o e s by several names; it is often referred to as dwarf flowering almond or dwarf double flowering almond. Nursery tags will probably have Rosea Plena or Prunus grandulosa on them. It is a tough, hardy shrub that will flourish in Zone 2, even without winter protection. It is quite a fast-growing shrub, so one planted this spring will most likely put on a decent display of bloom the following spring. The flowering almond can be used in a number of ways in the landscape. Often, it is used in a location where it can be viewed from the street and from the house because of its wonderful spring display. Here, it is usually pruned to create a nice rounded specimen. Also, stems that are just ready to burst into bloom can be snipped off and brought indoors to create arrangements. It can also be incorporated into a shrub border, where it will be comfortable shoulder to shoulder with other shrubs. It should be planted near the front of the border so that its

Besides being tough and hardy, flowering almond does not seem to be bothered by disease or insect pests.

bloom can be appreciated and will not be partially hidden by other shrubs. The shrub can also be used as an informal hedge along a fence or to separate garden rooms. Because it is relatively small with a mostly upright growth habit, it might even be used along pathways or beside hardscaped areas like patios and decks. The branches will not encroach too much on

the hardscaped areas, and any errant branches can be easily trimmed. I have seen flowering almond trained as a standard and it makes a wonderful accent when in full bloom. The rounded form atop a single trunk, absolutely covered with double pink bloom, looks like a giant lollipop, or a huge round cotton candy. I have also seen it used by city landscapers to cover

hillsides and boulevards. When mass planted this way, the shrubs are breathtaking when they are flowering — a sea of pink. Besides being tough and hardy, flowering almond does not seem to be bothered by disease or insect pests. It likes adequate moisture, but once established, it will endure all but the most severe dry spells without needing to be watered. Viewed from a distance, the shrub is quite stunning, but up close the individual flowers are quite exquisite; double, three cm in diameter, and light to mid-pink; they are gorgeous. Consider adding a flowering almond to your landscape this spring so that next year you can enjoy one of the earliest of the flowering shrubs. Albert Parsons writes from Minnedosa, Manitoba

COUNTRY CROSSROADS

Long-distance flyers

Many migrating birds travel an astonishing number of kilometres and some even make the trip non-stop By Donna Gamache Freelance contributor

t’s migration time, not just for “Canadian snowbirds” returning from a winter in the southern U.S. or Mexico, but for actual birds returning north for the nesting season. April and May are prime months for migrating birds to reach Manitoba, although a few early species may appear in March, and late ones in June. Horned larks have been known to arrive in January, although some ornithologists suggest that perhaps they never left. Some of the birds arriving back in our province have travelled only a short distance, having gone just far enough south to find open water or a needed food source. Canada geese arriving here in March might come from the northern or central U.S. states. Robins and crows, also early arrivals, have perhaps flown only a few hundred kilometres. But other migrants fly mind-boggling distances. O n e l o n g - d i s t a n c e f l ye r which often nests in southern Manitoba is the Wilson’s phalarope. It migrates here from South America — sometimes all the way from its southern tip. Other phalaropes nest farther north in Canada, but the Wilson’s variety nests on the Prairies. This species is also unusual in that the females have brighter plumage than males, and they leave the males to hatch the eggs and feed the young once the egg laying is complete.

Canada geese are among the early arrivals in the spring. GAMACHE PHOTOS

One species most famous for long-distance migration is the Arctic tern which passes through southern Manitoba in spring on its way to nesting grounds along Hudson Bay or even Greenland. It has flown all the way from the Antarctic seas. The yearly round trip may total over 70,000 km a year (approximately 45,000 miles), considered the longest migration route in the world. The American golden plover is another amazing traveller. These birds nest in the Churchill area, and nestlings leave on their own, just six or eight weeks after hatching. Their flight pattern on the way south is strange. They fly southeast from Hudson Bay, travelling either by the Labrador coast or coastal New England in the U.S. From there they fly non-stop over the Atlantic Ocean to Brazil, a distance of 3,800 km (2,400 miles). This is without the adult birds, which

leave three or four weeks before their offspring. The birds’ route north in the spring is shorter, flying more directly through the central U.S. Some smaller birds also have fascinating flight patterns. Most travel over land, often via Mexico and Central America, making stops along the way. But a 2015 study showed that the blackpoll warbler, a small songbird weighing about 12 grams, flies non-stop across the Atlantic from the eastern U.S. coast to wintering grounds in South America. Researchers in Vermont and Nova Scotia attached tiny geolocator “backpacks” to a number of birds. The packs were too small to fit transmitters but had instruments to measure data. The following spring five birds were recaptured and the data showed they took journeys across the Atlantic of 2-1/2 to three days, travelling non-stop about 2,500 km (1,550 miles) until

The ruby-throated hummingbird migrates from Central America — a distance of up to 6,000 km.

they could land in Colombia or Venezuela. To accomplish this feat, the birds eat enough to nearly double their weight before taking off. For more information about this amazing flight, check out: outhttps://www.theguardian.com/sci ence/2015/apr/01/bird-backpacks-help-scientists-discoverthe-longest-oversea-migration. O n e w e l l - k n ow n t ra v e l ler is the ruby-throated hummingbird. Because of their tiny size, there used to be a myth that hummingbirds migrated by riding on the backs of Canada geese, but this is completely false. The ruby-throat weighs only two to six grams, but migrates here from Central America, a distance of up to 6,000 km. Most fly non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico, about 800 km, from the Yucatan to the U.S. coast. It is believed that they typically leave at dusk and take 18 to 22 hours, depending on the weather, with the males

normally leaving first. The migration is spread over three months — nature’s way of preventing a total disaster if bad weather occurs. After hummers reach the U.S., they continue migrating north at a rate of about 30 km per day, corresponding to the gradual blooming of their preferred flowers. Studies have shown, through bird banding, that they usually return to the same place they hatched, perhaps even the same feeders. Studies also show that in fall migrations, more hummingbirds follow the Texas coast back into Mexico instead of taking the route across the Gulf. The migration of birds is an intriguing phenomenon. This spring as you watch for our returning migrants, stop to think of how far some of them have flown. Donna Gamache writes from MacGregor, Manitoba

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.

This squat little elevator at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum was built at Austin in 1901 by the Western Canada Flour Company. With a capacity of just 20,000 bushels, it was sold to Manitoba Pool in 1950 and converted into an annex. In early 1976, in commemoration of the company’s 50th anniversary, the elevator — one of the oldest survivors in Canada — was moved to the museum and restored as part of the Homesteaders’ Village. photo: Historic Resources Branch

Small square bales are one of the highest demanded form of bales used across North America. Unfortunately, they are also the most expensive to produce. Until now. The Bale Baron by Marcrest Manufacturing takes regular 14 and 16 inch bales and packages them into time saving bundles of ease. Our Bale Packs are designed to stack efficiently into van trailers, are tightly bound using regular baling twine and are easily handled by loaders and forklifts.
