Manitoba hits record numbers of PED virus Three more were confirmed in the fourth week of May BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

ight cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) have been confirmed in Manitoba in the last month, making this the worst year on record for the virus. Last year, five cases of the disease were reported. Two of the eight cases were found 20 kilometres away from the initial infection area, whereas the initial cases were reported very close to each other. All reported cases are in southeast Manitoba.

estern Canadian grain farmers saw the gap between the export price and their price narrow in 2015-16, reaping the benefits of an efficient and competitive grain-handling and transportation system (GHTS). Despite 2015’s near-record 64.7-million-tonne crop, there was no repeat of a grain shipping backlog that followed

record production in 2013, Derek Brewin, a University of Manitoba agricultural economist said. “It looks like the planning worked better this time and they (grain buyers) were able to give the farmer a better return all through 2015 and 2016,” Brewin said in an interview May 23. “It looks like competition is back in our grain supply chain. It’s good news for farmers.” In 2013-14 Canada’s grain monitor reported the average wheat basis — the difference between the export price in

Vancouver and what farmers were paid at the elevator — hit a record $132.41 a tonne. Economists say the wider-thannormal basis is a signal to farmers not to deliver grain. However, some grain was delivered and shipped, and according to Brewin, farmers collectively were shorted, on average, $80 a tonne or $3.5 billion. “We are suggesting the grain companies pocketed most of that difference,” he said during a lecture Oct. 19, 2016.

t seems most people buying free-range or cagefree eggs are doing so because they think the eggs are better, according to a recent study. While they understand animal welfare issues, consumers appear to have linked welfare and product quality, feeling that “happier” chickens produce a better-tasting egg. In a study, conducted by researchers at the University of Adelaide and published in the journal Anthrozoös, the most often reported motivations for buying free-range eggs included reasons such as the eggs were of better quality, more nutritious, and safer to eat, and that they allowed purchasers to avoid “industrialized” food. Despite participants describing caged-egg production as “cruel,” they did not tend to emphasize welfare reasons as critical for their purchases of free-range eggs.

This finding suggests that consumers are more likely to purchase a food product if it is both “ethical” and viewed as being of better quality, rather than for ethical reasons alone. The study also revealed that there were high levels of awareness among participants of caged-egg production, when compared to other types of animal farming, said lead author Heather Bray.

“ Taste and quality are strong motivations for purchasing and may be part of the reason why people are prepared to pay a higher price,” said Bray. “These findings suggest that consumers think about animal welfare in a much broader w a y t h a n we p re v i o u s l y thought, and in particular they believe that better welfare is connected to a betterquality product.”

The Manitoba Co-operator | June 1, 2017

Window opens on first forage cut of 2017 The Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association has estimated the province’s ‘Hay Day,’ when forage quality begins to hit the cut-off for optimum quality at May 30 this year BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

ay Day is on the horizon, according to the first Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association Green Gold reports. Between May 18 and May 23, eastern Manitoba forage stands had dropped 34 points, although growth had slowed due to cooler temperatures, with plants adding only 1.3 inches in height. The east averaged 221 relative feed value points (RFV ) as of May 23, still above the 170 RFV recommended cutting target. The association has said some stands may drop below 150 RFV, optimal levels for finished hay, after May 30. Green Gold results from previous years have put first cut times between May 29 and June 22 on average. Reports for central and western Manitoba and the Interlake had not been released at the time of printing. “Parts of the western area are very similar in height and crop staging as to what we are in the eastern area,” Green Gold coordinator John McGregor said. “As we go up farther north, like north of Brandon and stuff like that, we are seeing that the crop is a little bit shorter than what we have here. They could be one week later than maybe what the eastern region will be.” The Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association estimates that a crop loses five RFV points per day under normal drying conditions and that another 15 to 20 points are lost during harvest. “If we’re looking at putting something up at that 150 relative feed value, we kind of recommend that if you’re baling it, you cut it at 170,” McGregor said. “You’ve got about a fourday dry-down window and therefore you’re looking at probably pulling off something that’s close to 150, but if you get rain on it, that will leach out a lot of the carbohydrates in the feed and therefore the energy levels will go down and therefore the feed quality will go down.” A producer may not be able to cut at optimal levels due to weather or equipment issues, McGregor acknowledged, but maintained that the program improves planning ability for producers. “They will start to see alfalfa declining in their area by a certain level and, if they look at the weather and they see a threeday window that’s available, they could go out and they’ll cut their hay early and get it up and it won’t be at 150, it could be at 170 or 180,” he said.

Science says For McGregor and his colleagues, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) test results are the gold standard, although values calculated through a PEAQ ruler

“Parts of the western area are very similar in height and crop staging as to what we are in the eastern area. As we go up farther north, like north of Brandon and stuff like that, we are seeing that the crop is a little bit shorter than what we have here. They could be one week later than maybe what the eastern region will be.” John McGregor Green Gold co-ordinator

system (Predictive Equation for Alfalfa Quality) are also reported through Green Gold. The lab-based NIR test determines levels of indigestible and digestible fibre, while the PEAQ ruler uses a function of growth stage and plant height to estimate quality. “The NIR one is more of an exact type of science, whereas the PEAQ stick that we also talk about, that’s something producers can have on their farm and they can just go out into their alfalfa fields and just get a rough idea as to how it’s advancing,” McGregor said. He added that PEAQ results may become skewed if alfalfa is under stress and may be of limited use in early- and late-stage alfalfa. “It’s a ruler,” McGregor said. “It’s a type of guideline. What we like to see guys do is they will use the PEAQ stick. They go out into their field; they get an idea of what (their RFV) is and then, if they want to get a more accurate measure of it, then they can send a sample into Central Testing.” Green Gold samples have a 24-hour lab turnaround, the association has said.

Holtmann also uses the program to anticipate loss should harvest be delayed past “Hay Day,” when values are expected to hit 150 RFV. “It actually gives us a more detailed look at how much protein there is in that plant and then how much it decreases as it gets older, so even though the plant looks like it’s lush and it’s growing, you can’t tell just by looking at it what the quality’s like,” he said. Farmers growing a forage mix will have to take that mix into account when planning for RFV, McGregor said. Green Gold reports test pure alfalfa and do not reflect the impact of grasses within a crop. The high fibre of the grasses lowers protein and RFV and may speed up the timeline to cut. “What I’ve found is there could be a 25- to 35-point spread between the pure alfalfa and the grass/alfalfa mix,” McGregor said. Adjustments may not be as significant with soft grasses such as orchardgrass, according to Manitoba Agriculture. The more digestible grasses may be undercut by RFV testing, the province has said.

Dairy quality

Volunteers wanted

Manitoba’s dairies have once again thrown their weight behind the program as a sponsor this year. The industry has some of the highest requirements for high-quality forage, with feed quality and animal diet highly linked to dairy productivity. He n r y Ho l t m a n n , v i c e chair of the Dairy Farmers of Manitoba and one of the dairy producers to use the Green Gold program, said he prefers forage values between 150 and 170 RFV on his own operation. “This is where we get our forage, our protein source, to feed the cows for the year and if we can do this really well and get the best quality possible, it actually reduces our feed costs to our cows and we can get more milk per cow,” Holtmann said. Holtmann says he generally finds the Green Gold program accurate, but stressed that adjustments are necessary for each farm to predict how closely their fields will reflect reported values. His operation for example, he said, falls several days behind the Green Gold sampling farm south of him.

The Green Gold program is actively looking for recruits. About 16 producers are contributing samples this year, McGregor said, consistent with previous years, although he noted that some producers opted out of the program this year due to forage winterkill. Six fields are being tested in eastern Manitoba, one of the worst winterkill regions, ranging from Steinbach and Grunthal to Stonewall. The association is targeting stands mainly consisting of alfalfa and relatively recently established. Participants in the program submit samples twice weekly, which are then couriered or hand delivered to the lab that day. Delivery costs are covered by the association. The association says the consistent, real-time information on alfalfa quality provided to program participants lays down a firmer foundation for them to make management decisions. Producers wishing to join the program may contact McGregor at john@mfga.net.

Conference board issues provincial food ‘report card’

Manitoba rates high on food safety but low on security and manufacturing growth BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

askatchewan has earned nearly all As for industry prosperity, household food security and other areas in Canada’s Food Report Card 2016. Funded by the Conference Board of Canada and released last week, the report is a series of provincial report cards looking at domestic food by comparing the 10 provinces against each other. The report grades each province according to metrics within five elements of the Canadian Food Strategy, including industry prosperity, healthy food and diets, food safety, household food security, and environmental sustainability. Saskatchewan was the only province to earn an ‘A’ for industry prosperity, due to its large and profitable farming industry coupled with a strong foodmanufacturing sector. Manitoba and Alberta earned C grades in the same area, with Manitoba downgraded for its slower growth in food manufacturing and Alberta for fewer high-revenue-earning ($500,000-plus) farms. Both Saskatchewan and Manitoba were noted in the report for having seen aboveaverage increases in farm size since 2006. The three Prairie provinces all earned Bs with respect to dietary, health, and food consumption metrics, but Canadians across all provinces are consuming less than the World Health Organization’s 10 per cent recommended limit for daily dietary energy intake from added sugar and saturated fat.

Manitoba — safety high, security low Manitoba and Saskatchewan earned As and stand out among their provincial peers for some of the lowest incidences of food-

borne illness in the country. Alberta earned a C on that front. Saskatchewan also earned an A for household food security, cited as a province where people are least likely to worry about running out of domestic food supplies and also least likely to use food banks. Alberta also earned an A for household food security, however, Manitoba received a D in the category — the lowest grade of any province — due to its citizens’ wider-spread use of food banks as well as a lack of domestic food emergency preparedness. Adult food banks usage was also highest in Manitoba, the report said. The report card shows a varied picture on air quality, water contamination, soil health, and farm environmental planning across the country, with half of the 10 provinces registering a small increase in greenhouse gases (GHGs) over a 30-year period. Alberta and Ontario are the largest emitters of agricultural GHGs. Saskatchewan again was the only province to receive an A for environmental sustainability, but the report also noted Saskatchewan needs to improve on its agriculturally related air quality emissions. Manitoba earned a B for environmental sustainability with the report noting that Manitobans “are more likely to waste food due to cooking and food preparation.” Manitoba also lags other provinces with regard to greenhouse gas emissions reduction and nitrogen balance in soil, the report said. Alberta earned a C on that front, due in part to its lack of household organic waste diversion efforts, the report said. This is the second annual Canadian food report card. A 2015 report assessed Canada against 16 other OECD countries. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Thanks coach

hat seems like a lifetime ago now, I was a reporter with a small rural weekly in northwestern Saskatchewan. As one does when staffing a small media outlet, I wound up covering a bit of everything, including the local senior hockey team. They were a fun bunch of mill workers, mechanics and local farm kids, who laboured under no illusion the stands were Gord Gilmour stuffed with NHL scouts. They were there Editor to play hard, try to win, but ultimately to have fun too. The same couldn’t be said for their coach, a certified (or is that certifiable?) Type A personality, given to high-volume, expletivefilled rants. That might have been ignored, if he’d been a coach who otherwise inspired his players or made them better. But his idea of coaching appeared to be periodically leaning out over the boards to shout, at the top of his lungs, “Come on! Get a goal, you guys!” At the end of that long, frustrating season with few red lights behind the opposition goal, one of his star players had finally had enough. After the umpteenth “get a goal you guys,” this player stopped dead at centre ice, pivoted around and fixed his coach with a steely glare and barked out, “Thanks coach. That had never occurred to me,” to the delight and hilarity of the assembled spectators. It’s starting to feel a bit like that frosty hockey rink these days, as everyone talks up the potential to grow the agriculture and food sector. One of the recent examples of this was Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler, who made what appears to be an off-thecuff remark about growing the province’s beef herd, decimated by the BSE crisis in the early ‘aughts.’ A longtime advocate of the agriculture sector generally and the beef business in particular, Eichler is really guilty of nothing more than overenthusiasm. What has become apparent however, is there wasn’t a defined strategy. Manitoba Beef Producers has, to the outside observer, since been politely nudging the provincial government seeking programs to meet this goal, and in particular it would like to see policies that encourage young producers to enter the business or grow their existing operations. At the national level is where this trend can truly be seen however. There, after decades of being viewed as a poor cousin, the Trudeau government is suddenly slathering the sector with attention. First the high-profile Advisory Council for Economic Growth tagged agriculture and food as a major growth opportunity. Then the federal budget hit the table with the goal of adding nearly 50 per cent to Canada’s agriculture and food exports, taking them from $56 billion a year today to $75 billion annually by 2025. It’s good the federal government sees the sector as an opportunity. But it certainly doesn’t seem to have a clear picture what it’s going to do to facilitate this desired growth, at least not if the budget itself is any guide. It was long on platitudes and short on substance, making a few soothing noises about investing in innovation and putting a few more dollars into agriculture research. It also touted removing barriers to growth and opportunities, but that’s about it. Setting growth goals without clearcut policies behind them is, to be frank, a bit insulting. It insinuates that the agriculture and food sector hasn’t already been doing its best to capture markets around the world and grow them here at home. It also presupposes that somehow these rubes down on the farm just need a bit more help to get over the top. In fact, much of the trouble Canada’s agriculture sector faces can be traced back to a mishmash of policies with no clearcut end goal. For example, we want to be a swashbuckling trading nation, but we simultaneously want to protect our supply-managed industries. Or we want to grow local food, but at the same time there are countless regulatory barriers to entry for smaller operations looking to direct market or further process. We also have agriculture policies that don’t clearly define what a farm is. Is the $10,000 in gross farm sales to be considered a farm at all reasonable in this day and age? While it’s true small operations often meet niche local markets and shouldn’t be ignored, does a one-size-fits-all policy for them and a large Prairie grain operation make any sense? There’s also a real reluctance, it seems, to have a meaningful look at our agriculture support programs such as AgriStability, and determine if they’re effective. The falling participation numbers suggest farmers are voting with their feet, and this needs to be addressed if government wants to see the sector grow and thrive. In general, government needs to sort out what it wants and become a better coach. Otherwise it’s just hanging over the boards yelling, “Come on you guys! Sell more!” gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Trump’s butcher shop BY ALAN GUEBERT Farm & Food

onald Trump may want to “Make America Great Again” but his just-proposed 2018 budget contains no plans to make rural America great again. In fact, according to the Trump administration’s budget blueprint, American farmers, ranchers, and down-on-their-luck citizens must achieve greatness with trillions less so it and Congress can bestow a trillion-dollar tax cut on the already great. Specifically, the 10-year, Trump budget plan for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) proposes to: • Slash crop insurance subsidies by 36 per cent, or $28.1 billion, by capping subsidies at $40,000 and eliminating the “Harvest Price Option,” a program used across three-quarters of 2016 crop policies; • Lop $191 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, a 25 per cent hit aimed at reducing its 42 million beneficiaries; • Cut conservation spending by $5.7 billion; • Slice Agricultural Research Service funding 25 per cent, or $360 million, and shutter 17 research centres; • Wipe out the $447-million Rural Economic Development Program; • Eliminate $263 million from the Agricultural Marketing Service to effectively shut down USDA’s principle export promotion efforts, the Foreign Market Development Program and Market Access Program, just a week after USDA boss Sonny Perdue created the post of undersecretary of trade; and • Require USDA to cut its “discretionary” budget by 21 per cent, or another $4.6 billion. While almost everyone in Congress with a farmer or a SNAP recipient in their district — that would be 100 senators and 435 House

OUR HISTORY:

members — declared the Trump budget dead before it sucked its second breath, its ag committee chairmen issued a fence-straddling, three-sentence joint statement that failed to mention even one USDA cut. House ag boss K. Michael Conaway and Senate ag chief Pat Roberts, both Republicans, did rise like hungry trout to take the SNAP bait offered by the White House. Each promised “to take a look at our nutrition assistance programs to ensure that they are helping the most vulnerable in our society.” That’s GOP aggie-speak for “SNAP funding will be cut before we cap farm program payments or cut crop insurance subsidies, government commodity export programs, conservation efforts...” House Ranking Minority Member Collin Peterson had a different take on Trump’s budget proposal. “By all accounts,” noted the Minnesota Democrat who is also an accountant, “this budget is going nowhere on Capitol Hill but it is still a statement of priorities and should be of concern to all rural Americans. Going down this path all but guarantees there will be no new Farm Bill.” Despite these steep, program-gutting cuts to farm and rural programs — and, incredibly, the hokey, double accounting the budget proposal contains to make it balance — the administration sees its budget as a serious starting point to spending talks. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue said as much May 23 when he noted, “It’s my job to implement that plan.” In fact, no, it’s not. Perdue’s job is to develop and implement sustainable farm and food policies to ensure all Americans have access to an abundant, safe supply of reasonably priced food and fibre. That requires a builder, not a butcher. The Farm and Food File is published weekly through the U.S. and Canada. www.farmandfoodfile.com.

he Waterloo Champion thresher advertised in the June 1928 issue of The Scoop Shovel was offered in seven sizes, and could be seen at that year’s Provincial Exhibition in Brandon, also advertised in that issue. It featured a monster midway, new dog show building, a new nursery and rest room for women and children, and five days of horse racing. Immigration policy was apparently in the news at the time, and the editorial in the previous issue took exception to the Bishop of Saskatchewan’s statements to the press about “mongrel Canada.” The bishop reportedly objected to the government encouraging immigration of “Germans, Poles, Ruthenians, Scandinavians and other non-British stock.” The editor said: “It is the individual qualities that country; if these are satisfactory Canada can afford to welcome every kind of immigrant. Not, of what race is he? but, what kind of man is he? should be the test for immigrants. If he will make a good, useful, industrious and intelligent citizen, we needn’t worry about the flag he was born under, nor about mongrelizing the country.” Classified ads were beginning to appear in The Scoop Shovel, later named the Manitoba Co-operator.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

China’s wheat hoard masks tightening in global market Without China’s politically motivated stocks in the equation, supply would actually be tightening BY KAREN BRAUN REUTERS

Letters

orld wheat supply is expected to hit record levels in 2017-18 for the fourth year in a row, but remove China from the equation and next year’s global wheat carry-out would be the lowest in four years. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently projected world wheat ending stocks would rise to 258.29 million tonnes in 2017-18, slightly larger than its revised 2016-17 target of 255.35 million tonnes, but well above the new-crop trade estimate of 246.15 million. China has been notorious over the past decade for producing and storing large quantities of grain in its effort to be self-sufficient. Wheat stockpiles have now grown to staggering levels, but government support prices for the grain ensure that farmers continue to produce at the same rate, thus worsening the problem. The East Asian country is the world’s largest wheat producer, but it barely participates in the global marketplace. USDA expects China to import three million tonnes of the grain in 2017-18 and export 0.8 million — quantities that pale in comparison with the 131 million tonnes it will harvest. China’s wheat stocks-to-use ratio — which measures both supply and

Fair taxation In a recent issue of the Manitoba Co-operator, Keystone Agricultural Producers president Dan Mazier suggests farmers pay too large a proportion of the taxes collected by municipalities. He calls for their taxation rate to be reduced from 26 per cent of assessment they now pay to something lower. I’d like to know who he expects to pick up the slack? Should it be seniors on a fixed income? Young couples trying to raise children and purchase a home? Or another group? He seems to forget that the farmers of today work land that may have previously been farmed by 10 or 20 families. In all likelihood, over 100 people have been eliminated from the local economy of the area for each large, modern farm. With these 20 families, the RM would have collected tax on 20 houses — at the going rate of 45 per cent of assessment. Where are these houses now? They’ve been absorbed by the larger farmer, and in most cases bulldozed and the land they sat on brought into crop production. In recent years the assessed value of

demand — will climb above the 100 per cent mark in 2017-18 for the first time ever to 110 per cent. This means the country will have enough wheat in storage to fulfil total demand for more than one year, assuming it is all still usable. By comparison, the United States — which is currently considered to be in a wheat excess situation — has an estimated stocks-to-use of 52 per cent for 2016-17, but it is expected to fall to 42 per cent in 2017-18. The world still has a lot of wheat with or without China. But without China, world wheat supply is actually tightening instead of expanding. At the end of 2016-17, China will be left holding 43.4 per cent of the global wheat supply. USDA predicts this percentage will shoot to 49.6 in 2017-18, which would be China’s largest-ever share. Given that half of the world’s wheat supply is locked up in China and inaccessible to the world market, it is safe to remove the country from the world

farmland has risen in parts of the province by as much as 45 per cent. But the taxes levied by most municipalities hasn’t increased at a rate anywhere near this. The farm community also needs to remember that the roads, built by our forefathers to accommodate a twoton truck, cannot be expected to hold up to the load of a “Super-B” of today. Someone has to pay for the upkeep and maintenance of these roads. If an entrepreneur were to buy up property in any city or town, that individual would be required to pay taxes on that property at the going rate — 45 per cent of assessment. If that town suddenly became a hot commodity and the property in question doubled in value as was so assessed, they would have to bite the bullet and pay at the new value. I live on a 19-acre property in an agricultural area, and I pay the 45 per cent rate on my home and most of my property. How can farmers justify this request for lower rates, based on the idea that they’re currently paying too high a rate? I will also note that we are a community that was recently amalgamated, incorporating a town with a mil rate of 58 per cent and an RM with a mil rate of 28 per cent. The 2017 budget has been put forth with a mil rate of just over 16.5 per cent and user fees, where applicable, to cover certain services. People, whether they live in an urban or rural environment, use some of the same amenities such as libraries, hockey and curling rinks, community halls and streets. As such, they must also help to pay for them. I can only add that we must be very fortunate in where we live, as our local farming community does not seem to think that they are paying more than their fair share. Brian Brown Rossburn, Man.

balance sheet in order to better examine effective wheat supply. As it stands, world wheat carry-out is set to increase three million tonnes on the year in 2017-18, but when subtracting China’s portion, carry-out would actually decrease by more than 14 million tonnes and represent the smallest volume since 2013-14. With China still in the picture, world stocks-to-use is 28.3 per cent, the heaviest since 2001-02. Removing China’s details from the balance sheet yields an effective ratio of 16.4 per cent, which would be the lowest in a decade. The 2016-17 ratio currently sits at 18.2 per cent, and the 10-year high of 22 per cent was notched in 2009-10. In 2016, China removed minimum price supports for several crops including corn, which has also been running up total world supply in recent years. The policy was discontinued in order to let prices self-regulate in the marketplace and to reduce the burdensome stockpiling. But Beijing did not axe support

prices for wheat or rice at that time. Back in March, the government announced plans to improve the policy for setting support prices for the two grains and that state grain stockpiles will be cut down, though the strategy is not yet apparent. As such, farmers have no incentive to produce less wheat. Planted area in China has been very steady over the years and that trend has continued into the 2017-18 harvest. USDA predicts Chinese farmers will harvest the largest area in five years, just a sliver above last year. USDA also projects that China’s total domestic use will fall 2.5 million tonnes on the year, rendering the slight bump in production totally useless. This further demonstrates how badly the country’s broken support price system needs reform. The corn policy fix seems to have made some headway, as planted area will fall to a six-year low this spring and total domestic use should rise substantially. USDA expects that these adjustments will cut China’s corn carry-out by 20 per cent on the year. China will be holding 42 per cent of the world’s corn stocks by the end of 2017-18, which is a seven-year low and a notable reduction from the recent 2015-16 high of 52 per cent.

Public support enables public trust All eyes are on agriculture, but farmers still have to make a living By Marie Versteeg CFFO

he present public climate certainly has a lot of people in the ag industry wondering which way the wind is blowing. For example, the Ontario Feder ation of Agriculture has linked media scrutiny during the pig trial to noticeable chips and dents in agriculture’s social licence. Likewise, the Ontario government’s next Policy Framework lists “securing and growing public trust in the sector” as one of its six major objectives which suggests public scrutiny of agriculture. But the decline of public support for agriculture potentially creates a problem for urban communities as well. Many are looking at the case of New Zealand. Despite having lost all government supports for agriculture about 30 years ago, its dairy industry now boasts a booming output. But on the flip side, the pressure to increase production just to stay in business has changed the rural landscape: a lot of undeveloped land in New Zealand has been repurposed for agricultural use, with the result that dissatisfied urban New Zealanders are now pushing for more regulation. As farmer and writer Clair Doan has observed, “When economic rule

drives change, other factors such as social or environmental concerns become secondary.” In other words, if there isn’t public support for farmers to make a sustainable living, it’s that much harder for farmers to keep environmentally sustainable farms. Recent information from Stats Canada’s Census of Agriculture suggests that Canada is also showing signs of economic pressures on farming. Though total farmland is down from 2011, the amount of cropland has risen, thanks to a shift in land use: “Farmers have converted land formerly used as pasture, summerfallow...” A trend like this might suggest to Canadian urbanites that farmers undervalue their important role in land stewardship. Healthy land stewardship is a visible way for farmers to continue demonstrating care and maintain public trust. But sweep the rug of support out from under farmers, and they’ll fall headlong into the hole of economic drivers. The problem is circular, and that’s what makes consistent public support for agriculture so vital. With public support behind them, farmers can preserve their prized role as creation’s caretakers. Marie Versteeg is manager of board and committee services for the Christian Farmers’ Federation of Ontario.

FROM PAGE ONE GRAIN MOVE Continued from page 1

Controversial The Western Grain Elevator Association disputed Brewin’s claim then and still does, executive director Wade Sobkowich said in an interview May 25. Brewin now believes the companies are investing those profits into expanding their export capacity at Vancouver, benefiting the whole grain sector. The data shows it. “More grain moved through the GHTS in the 2015-16 crop year than at any other point in the history of the GMP (grain monitoring program),” the grain monitor’s 2015-16 annual reports says. The average wheat basis fell 34 per cent in 2015-16 to $81.53 a tonne, Brewin said. The canola basis is down to $65.24 a tonne. Both are close to the long-term trend, if you ignore the very tight basis for wheat in 2012-13 — the first year of the open market for wheat following the repeal of the Canadian Board’s single-desk selling authority. The current spot difference for prices in Winnipeg, according to Manitoba Agriculture and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, are about $77.50 and $41.51 a tonne for wheat and canola, respectively, Brewin said. “That’s pretty good news given how bad it had got the two previous years,” he said. “And farmers are getting really pretty good prices. The spot prices in Winnipeg right now are as good as we’ve seen compared to the export price. The export price is down from two years ago and we’re still seeing pretty good returns.” The railways partly blamed a record grain crop in 2013 for

“I think it would be worthwhile to say that the rail supply chain is actually working pretty well. It’s not very broken. Don’t change it very much.” Derek Brewin University of Manitoba

contributing to the grain shipping backlog that crop year. They also blamed the coldest winter in 100 years. “The thing about those really high margins (in 2013-14), is it encouraged grain handlers to expand their investment in capacity,” Brewin said. “It’s very hard to build another railway, although there is some capacity (expansion) they would do, especially in the Port of Vancouver and maybe in rolling stock. But it’s a lot harder to build the next railway than it is the next terminal.” That’s why Brewin recommends caution when tinkering with the grain transportation system, which is what’s planned in C-49, the Transportation Modernization Act (see sidebar). “I think it would be worthwhile to say that the rail supply chain is actually working pretty well,” he said. “It’s not very broken. Don’t change it very much.”

Stay vigilant Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevators Association, agrees the grain pipeline performed well last crop year and grain is moving well now too, but adds

Western Canada’s grain pipeline performed well in 2015-16, despite near-record levels of grain stocks, rewarding farmers with lower basis levels compared to 2013-14, University of Manitoba agricultural economist Derek Brewin says. PHOTO: ALLAN DAWSON

the grain sector must not be complacent. “Nothing has changed in the competitive environment and nothing has changed in the policy environment since 2013 when it comes to the railways,” Sobkowich said. “What has changed is the railways have been put under the microscope and they have been moving less from other industry sectors so the grain industry has benefited from that. We have seen more capacity come to us because they are hauling less oil and gas, minerals, et cetera. So when those industries recover and we don’t have the proper backstops in place, nothing will have changed to stop us from reverting from the same set of the circumstances that we saw in 2013-14.”

That’s why passing C-49 is important for grain farmers and shippers, he said. Harvey Brooks, general manager of the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, shares that view. “The suggestion that all the problems have gone away is wrong,” he said in an interview May 26. Sobkowich also disputes Brewin’s claim that the wide basis earned grain companies excessive profits at farmers’ expense. “He’s just wrong,” Sobkowich said. “The basis number offered by grain companies does not necessarily reflect the price that’s paid for deliveries to be made to elevators because some grain is delivered and sold under

terms of an advanced contract. The contracted prices are almost always different from the price offered because they are based on futures prices that existed when the contract was undertaken.” Grain companies, like farmers, are price-takers, Sobkowich said. Companies must meet the prices offered by competitors when buying from farmers and selling to end-users. “Grain companies are investing because they are trying to increase their market share and their returns,” he said. “They aren’t doing it because they have a bunch of money sitting around from 2013-14 and they are wondering what to do with it.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

Railway costing review risks, benefits A review was a Liberal election promise but the government hasn’t announced one despite proposed changes to the maximum revenue entitlement BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

University of Manitoba agriculture economist warns regulations cutting how much the railways are allowed to earn hauling grain could discourage them from investing to be more efficient. “I don’t know if you want to mess with the system too much,” Derek Brewin said in an interview May 23. “They’ve (western farmers) got a competitive rate (compared to northern U.S. farmers) and they’ve got an incentive for the railways (under the current maximum revenue entitlement) to make money and incentives to invest in grain movement.” Brewin was responding to calls by some farm groups that the federal government determine railways costs for grain hauling before changing the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE) formula. The MRE, implemented by the federal government in 2000, gives the railways the flexibility

to set freight rates to encourage grain shippers to be more efficient; more efficient shippers pay lower rates. However, the policy also protects farmers from the railways charging what the market will bear, setting a limit on the total revenue railways can collect hauling western grain to export ports. The railways’ annual grain shipping entitlements are based on a formula that in 1992, the last time rail costs were reviewed, gave them a 20 per cent contribution over variable costs. Regulators believed it was fair and reflected what would occur in a competitive market. Although the MRE is adjusted annually for inflation and the volume of grain and distance moved, the railways have said it discourages investments. Travacon, a consulting firm hired by four Saskatchewan farm groups, including the Sask atchewan Wheat Development Commission, estimates in 201314 the railways earned a 61 per cent contribution because of increased system efficiency. “This was $322 million, or $8.36 a tonne, in excess of the

contribution level of 20 per cent that was deemed fair and adequate under the Western Grain Transportation Act, and which Travacon believes is the maximum that could be earned under effective competition,” Travacon said in a March 2015 study. During the last election the Liberals promised a costing review before changes to the MRE. May 16 the Liberal government introduced Bill C-49, the Transportion Modernization Act, which proposes amendments and additions to the Canada Transportation Act to make grain shipping more efficient. It also proposes modifying the MRE to reflect individual railway investments — something grain farmers, shippers and the railways support. However, Ottawa is mum on a costing review. “Why would they ever invest again in improving their efficiencies if they are never going to be able to capture any of those gains? It’s a dangerous signal,” Brewin said. “I don’t think that’s a sustainable signal to send to the railways in the long run.”

A costing review is needed to make the right policy decisions, Sask Wheat general manager Harvey Brooks, said in an interview May 26. “We want profitable and thriving railways to maximize grain throughput, but we also want producer protection from undue (railway) pricing,” he said. “We just want to know what is fair.” That extra $8 a tonne Travacon says railways are earning, could help pay for new hopper cars, he said. “I don’t want the people managing the constraints (in the transportation system), benefiting from the constraints,” Brooks said. The Western Grain Elevators Association, which supports keeping a modified MRE, wants Ottawa to focus on making C-49 law, its executive director Wade Sobkowich, said in an interview May 25. “Down the road if adjustments to the MRE are needed that’s fine, but if you open that up now it wouldn’t be the right time,” he said. “To me it’s not a slam dunk that a costing review would end up in reduced freight rates

Railways need to be properly compensated for hauling grain, but farmers also must pay a fair price, Harvey Brooks, general manager of the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission said in response to concerns about reviewing rail grain shipping costs. PHOTO: ALLAN DAWSON

and less costs paid by shippers and producers because you can’t even imagine all the arguments the railways are going to raise on the other side.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

PED Continued from page 1

The Manitoba Pork Council has said the finisher barn most recently confirmed positive for PED received animals from an infected sow operation. The investigation into infections this year is ongoing. “Four of the cases, they’re in the same management group,” Manitoba Pork Council general manager Andrew Dickson said. “They’re separate barns, but it’s run by the same company and so the question is, did something happen in that company and then it spread to the four barns? We’re not sure. Two of the barns are separate operations — nothing to do with those four. Somehow they got it and this new one, we’re not exactly sure how the sow barn got it, but it spread to the other barn.” PED causes severe dehydration and has been known to cause 80 to 100 per cent death losses of suckling pigs. Herd losses this year are unknown at this time. Initial reports of the disease came this year after symptoms were noticed in a sow barn May 2. Another two reports quickly followed, bringing PED cases up to three by May 8. Another two cases were reported a week later, with both a feeder and sow barn testing positive

May 16 and May 18. On May 25, another finisher barn was confirmed infected, followed shortly by two PED confirmations May 26. Most recent cases bring Manitoba’s PED record to 18 since the virus was found in the province in 2014. Dickson says he does not expect barns infected this year to be officially cleared of the disease for several months. “This isn’t like a flu where you get better and ‘poof,’ you’re all done and then you go about your daily life. It’s not like that at all,” he said. “These barns retain the virus. It’s inside the barn. It takes a lot of work and effort to try and clean it out of the barn.” Both the pork council and Manitoba’s chief veterinary officer have called for tighter biosecurity on farms in the area. Veterinarians within five kilometres of an infected farm, or with clients within that area, have been informed of PED-positive locations. All farms in the area have been strongly advised to limit traffic, move parking off site, move garbage and deadstock pickups off site, as well as other biosecurity measures. Signed waivers allowing veterinarians to share information between each other to stem the virus’s spread are also strongly encouraged.

A total of 18 cases makes this the worst year ever for PED in Manitoba. PHOTO: jeannette greaves

“It’s important that all the veterinarians in the province know what this disease is because you get a barn in southeast Manitoba supplying baby pigs to a barn in western Manitoba. The vets need to know what’s going on,” Dickson said following the May 16 PED confirmation. “When a person deals with the provincial government, your information is protected, so the province can’t divulge that information to a veterinarian who doesn’t have

a direct business relationship with (an) operation.” Dickson expects older animals to be shipped to the United States once cleared of symptoms while gilt shipments have stopped in infected sow operations until symptoms have cleared. “In the meantime, of course, they’re cleaning the barn down to get rid of all the viral matter in the barn,” he said.

“This isn’t like a flu where you get better and ‘poof,’ you’re all done and then you go about your daily life. It’s not like that at all. These barns retain the virus. It’s inside the barn. It takes a lot of work and effort to try and clean it out of the barn.” Andrew Dickson Manitoba Pork Council

Food strategy consultations announced

The federal government is seeking input to formulate a first-of-its-kind national food policy Canada has never before had a national food policy.

STAFF

h e f e d e ra l g ov e r n ment is launching consultations aimed at developing a national food policy for Canada. Lawrence McAulay, the federal agriculture minister, announced the move early this week which i n c l u d e s a n o n l i n e s u rv e y a t w w w. c a n a d a . c a / food-policy. The government says the food policy will cover four key areas: • Increasing access to affordable food; • Im p rov i n g h e a l t h a n d food safety; • Conser ving soil, water and air; and • Growing more high-quality food. Canada has never before had a national food policy and the Trudeau govern-

ment says it reflects both the importance of food to the health and well-being of Canadians and the desire to take a broad-based and collaborative approach to addressing food-related issues in Canada. Ottawa will play host to a food policy for Canada summit June 22-23, designed to provide a space for stakeholders, experts, and key policy-makers to share views on the development of the policy. There will also be other consultation events in the coming months.

The art and science of farm marketing There are no pat or easy answers for marketing commodities as each commodity is different David Derwin Hedging your bets

REVENUE COMPARISON

Let’s look at the current market to see why flexible option strategies are such a practical marketing tool for managing price uncertainty.

arm marketing like most aspects of a farm business is a mix of art and science, of theory and practice. And, it’s important to understand and apply both. This reminds me of a quote by American playwright Wilson Mizner: “Art is science made clear.” I’ll try to combine them both so you gain a better awareness and appreciation of the power of exchange-traded option strategies for farm risk management. My Farming Big D ata research study shows that the numbers support options as a proven marketing tool. We know that options are an ideal marketing tool for producers with three unique advantages compared to a delivery or forward contract: • No production commitments or delivery risk; • Not locking in prices: downside price protection you need and the upside revenue potential you want; • Minimal capital needed and minimal futures contract margin requirements. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, the chart is what a revenue payoff using options looks like: potential upside price, revenue protection against the downside all without committing your commodity for delivery. T h e re v e n u e p a y o f f s o f option-based strategies speak for themselves, but what are

other real-world benefits of option hedging applications? Let’s look at the current market to see why flexible option strategies are such a practical marketing tool for managing price uncertainty. There are a lot of varying and conflicting factors that will affect your thinking and pricing decisions. Take canola for instance. Issues like strong crush demand, canola carryout falling to the lowest level since 2013 and a weak loonie, down five per cent from the high this past winter, are all supportive of canola prices. Some of the negatives include nearly 23 million seeded acres of canola, as well as large potential U.S. and South America soybean crops. Associated external price pressures include U.S. soybean futures down around 10 per cent from recent highs with palm oil prices 20 per cent lower since the beginning of the year. And weather... always a m i x e d b a g . Fo r i n s t a n c e, w h i l e we’ve h a d a s n ow y and very wet spring in many parts of Alberta, just recently Accuweather was forecasting drought in central and northern Alberta. All in all, a lot to analyze, research and think about.

Precision marketing Just like precision ag is very data driven and field specific, farm marketing needs to be specific to each farm and commodity to address all the unique uncertainties for the crops you produce. Your marketing plan needs to be flexible enough to take into account current market price conditions, farm storage capacity and crop rotation, among other things. There are many things you can do to fine-tune your marketing strategies to reduce risks but also give you the upside potential from rising prices. So don’t just sell off the combine or use delivery contracts. As we saw in last month’s article, there are opportunities to separate your commodity and currency strategies when selling your grain or livestock. You should differentiate between your basis and your future pricing decisions. Right now, new-crop canola futures are sitting above $500/ton but basis levels, according to www. PDQinfo.ca, are still in the negative $30 under range across the Prairies. You can also look at what spreads between the various futures months are doing. Are there opportunities to store your grain and earn the carry?

Farm sales to co-ops to count for small-business deduction Rule changes from 2016 budget wouldn’t apply to farm income from co-ops STAFF

hanges to federal tax law that are meant to block “multiplication” of the small-business deduction for corporations aren’t expected to apply to farmers’ sales to co-operatives. The federal government on May 5 released draft amendments to the Income Tax Act, which would allow qualifying farmers and fishers selling to agricultural and fisheries co-operatives to be eligible for the small-business deduction on income from those sales. The small-business deduction cuts the rate of corporate income tax from 15 per cent to 10.5 per cent on the first $500,000 of business income earned by a Canadian-controlled private corporation. Changes made to the smallbusiness deduction in the 2016 budget affected the rules around “specified corporate

income,” preventing a corporation from applying income to the small-business deduction if the income comes from sales to a company in which the corporation, or one of its shareholders, has a direct or indirect interest. The 2016 changes were meant to “address concerns about partnership and corporate structures that multiply access to the small-business deduction.” The amendments announced May 5, however, are meant to make sure the rules don’t “inappropriately deny access” to the small-business deduction for a farmer’s or fisher’s corporation selling farming products or fishing catches to an arm’s-length agricultural or fisheries co-operative. The new amendments, which have been released in draft form for public comment, would apply for taxation years that begin after March 21, 2016. The amendments set up a new definition, “specified

co-operative income,” under which certain income from sales to farming or fishing coops is excluded from “specified corporate income.” “Specified co-operative income” will have to come from sales of farming products or fishing catches of a corporation’s farming or fishing business. These sales must also be made to a co-operative — or a business in which the cooperative has a direct or indirect interest — that qualifies as a “purchasing corporation.” However, patronage dividends paid out by a co-operative wouldn’t count as income from the sale of the farming products or fishing catches of the corporation, and wouldn’t qualify as “specified co-operative income.” “This is in keeping with the principle that a single business, including a co-operative business, is entitled to one business limit only,” the government said in explanatory notes on the proposed rule.

In some of the cereal markets like wheat and corn, the answer is yes. In oilseeds like canola and soybeans, since the futures forward curve is much flatter, the answer is no. As for weather, options can help you manage that risk. If you don’t want to sign a delivery contract when yields are uncertain in a very dry or very wet year, option-based strategies provide you with a delivery-free alternative. These all factor in to the specific hedging and risk management strategies you develop for each commodity. What is best in one market is not necessarily the best in another. Different markets require different strategies. For example: • A straightforward put strategy for canola works well given current conditions; • A delivery contract for wheat may be the best approach, if you have a good basis; • An option spread strategy may make the most sense for soybeans; • Cattle has moved up significantly recently and is very

volatile so dictates a different approach than just a month ago; and • For the time being, you may not want to do anything on the Canadian dollar as it drifts lower. Bottom line, with constantly changing chart patterns, uncertain supply-and-demand figures and ever-present summer weather risk, we don’t know for sure where prices are headed. However, if you spend some more time on the art and science of marketing like you do on the theory and practice of growing your crop, you can reap bigger returns over the long term.

With cattle moving out to pasture, a shot of rain was appreciated during the week as the moisture helped the hay and pasture land green up, said Hill. U.S. futures prices didn’t do much to provide direction during the week, but the strengthening Canadian dollar was being followed closely, he said. The currency gained roughly a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart over the course of the week, settling May 26 at 74.32 U.S. cents, which weighs on Canadian cattle prices. In other news, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Cattle on Feed report during the week showed the largest number for April in 14 years. The inventory in large feedlots on May 1, at 11 million head, was up two per cent from the previous year after placements in April ran 11 per cent ahead of the year-ago pace. The large U.S. number will be bearish for prices, as demand may back off slightly. Phil Franz-Warkentin writes for Commodity News Service Canada, a Winnipeg company specializing in grain and commodity market reporting.

he Victoria Day long weekend limited activity at Manitoba’s cattle auction yards during the week ended May 26, but the market was steady for the animals that still moved. “I didn’t see any change from the previous week. Everything was fully steady on the feeder cattle,” said Robin Hill of Heartland Livestock Services at Virden. The butcher cattle market was down in Alberta during the week, he said, but that weakness had yet to make its way to the Manitoba feeder sector. The reduced volumes did limit some of the buying interest, as it’s getting harder for buyers to get a load together to move east. “The small volume takes some of the bigger players out,” said Hill, adding that the slowdown was normal for this time of year, as most of the major marketing is done for the time being and ranchers are now just cleaning out pens. “We’re seeing a few local guys on the marketplace, poking away on some cattle for grass,” said Hill. However, those buyers are only looking for small volumes, which aren’t enough to really sway the market. In addition to feeder cattle, open cows and feeding-type cows going out to grass account for much of the animals moving at this time of year.

EXCHANGES: May 26th, 2017

Ranchers placed 11 per cent more cattle in feedlots in April than a year earlier, the most for the month in 14 years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported May 26, beating average forecasts. Higher cattle prices paid by packers last month enhanced profits for feedlots, allowing them to buy more less costly calves for fattening. The demand prompted ranchers to drive cattle into feedlots ahead of schedule. Cattle that entered com-

mercial feeding pens in April will start arriving at packing plants around late summer, which could help keep a lid on beef prices at that time, said analysts. After the report’s release Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle futures slumped more than two per cent, partly because of the largerthan-expected April placement, said analysts and traders. The USDA report showed placements at 1.848 million head, up from 1.664 million in April 2016 and above the average forecast of 1.777 million. It was the most for the month since 1.870 million in 2003. The government put the feedlot cattle supply as of May 1 at 10.998 million head, up 2.0 per cent from 10.783 million a year ago.

Analysts, on average, forecast a 0.8 per cent gain. USDA said the number of cattle sold to packers, or marketings, were up 3.0 per cent in April from a year ago, to 1.703 million head. Analysts had projected a 1.8 per cent increase from 1.658 million last year. “This report highlights the idea that we’re going to have a few extra cattle waiting for us,” said Allendale Inc. chief strategist Rich Nelson. The highest prices for cattle in more than a year, in some parts of the U.S. Plains, have returned bullish enthusiasm to feedlot operators, he said. Hopes of U.S. beef returning to China, and fallout over the Brazilian beef scandal, contributed to that enthusiasm, said Nelson.

Seeding pressures run up against low canola stocks

Average quotes as of May 29, 2017 ($/tonne) Future

Wet weather also helps support Minneapolis wheat DAVE SIMS CNSC

anola contracts on the ICE Futures Canada platform were chopping around for much of the week ended May 26, buffeted by weather issues and downward action in soy. Wet weather in Alberta and parts of Saskatchewan has created a soggy mess for many producers trying to get onto their fields. Some haven’t started seeding canola yet while others are still trying to harvest last year’s crop. As a result, producers will almost certainly be seeding into June, which was supportive as it raises the chance of frost damage later on. The latest crop report from the province suggests at least five per cent of Saskatchewan’s crop won’t get seeded. That also helped to underpin canola prices. On the other hand, weather forecasts for the next few weeks suggest drier weather is on the way, which should provide some relief for watered-out areas. It also has created some bearish action for values. Low commercial stocks of Canadian canola were another factor helping to underpin values. Stocks had fallen below one million tonnes, considered tight for this time of year. That support is tempered, however, by the belief that Canadian farmers are sitting on a significant amount of old crop in search of better prices.

The Canadian dollar continues to improve slightly, which also kept values in check. U.S. soybeans are in vogue right now as farmers in the U.S. Midwest increasingly switch acres intended for corn into the oilseeds. Excess rain in much of the Midwest has caused many corn farmers to search for alternative crops. On May 10, the dominant July contract touched a nearby high of US$9.89 a bushel but closed at US$9.2650 by May 26. Co r n f u t u re s r o s e d u r i n g t h a t s a m e time period, but didn’t climb as drastically as one might expect. The corn that was already planted before the rains began in the Midwest emerged rapidly due to the moisture, which pressured prices. July corn closed May 26 at US$3.7425 per bushel, right in the middle of the 20-cent range in which it has traded for the past two months. Wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade Complex and Kansas City Board of Trade have mostly been chopping around the last few weeks, showing few signs of wanting to head lower or higher. However, wet weather and concerns over the tight supply of high-protein wheat has helped pushed wheat futures on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange higher. The July contract climbed over 12 U.S. cents during the past week alone. Dave Sims writes for Commodity News Service Canada, a Winnipeg company specializing in grain and commodity market reporting.

Prairie wheat bids rise, shrug off bearish currency Cash durum prices were up $2-$6 on average, seeing bids around $259-$268 BY DAVE SIMS CNS Canada

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada posted solid gains during the week ended May 26, as supportive action in U.S. futures offset the bearish influence of the Canadian currency. Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were up $4-$6 in the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of delivery points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about $237 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $256 in northern Alberta. Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but generally

ranged from about $29 to $47 per tonne above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollar-denominated futures and the Canadian dollar cash bids. When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$176 to US$190 per tonne. That would put the currency adjusted basis levels at about US$19$33 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 $26 to $44 below the futures. Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were up 20-50 cents, with

Average (CWRS) prices ranged from about $237 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $256 in northern Alberta.

prices coming in between $160 and $178 per tonne. Average durum prices were up $2-$6, with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $259-$268 per tonne. The July spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted May 26 at US$5.6875 per bushel, up by 13 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 May 26 at US$4.375 per bushel, down by half a cent compared to the previous week. The July Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled May 26 at US$4.3825, up by nearly three U.S. cents on the week. The Canadian dollar settled May 26 at 74.32 U.S. cents, up by roughly half a cent compared to its U.S. counterpart in the previous week.

Training critical for new beekeepers to avoid disease woes Beekeepers stress the need for industry newcomers to be trained in disease and pest management BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

anitoba’s honeybee population has recovered from 2013, when a harsh winter saw hives drop almost eight per cent, but commercial apiarists say that growth could have risks if it doesn’t come with disease management training for new beekeepers. “Education is very important in those regards and I think probably one of our largest concerns is how many small-scale beekeepers on the Internet want to preach treatment-free beekeeping, which is not a recommended practice at all,” said Allan Campbell of the Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association. “We’d like to see bees’ health looked after more than anything because they are essentially a herd animal, so you need to protect that. There’s a lot of socalled ‘gurus’ on the Internet who preach to go this treatmentfree route and if you don’t know what you’re looking at, you can spread disease very quickly.” Advocates of treatment-free beekeeping often cite concerns with pesticide residue, antibiotic levels in honey or treatment resistance in common pests such as the varroa mite. Varroa mite and American foulbrood are of particular concern to the beekeepers’ association. The mites have gained a reputation as one of the honey industry’s most notorious pests, feeding on bee fluids, weakening bees and transferring viruses. Mite-born infections have been known to cause deformed wings. The bacterial American foulbrood targets larvae and is “nearly impossible to kill,” according to Campbell. “The only thing that’ll kill that bacteria is fire,” he said. In many cases, equipment must also be burned to stem the spread. John Sochaski of Bee Out fitters in Tisdale, Sask. also raised the alert on foulbrood, which he says can be prohibitively expensive for a hobbyist who suddenly needs to burn equipment. “We’ve started this from Day 1, telling them that they have to treat for mites and different diseases,” he said. The Saskatchewan company runs a beekeeping workshop on hive management and provides backyard beekeeping kits to major retailers.

More joining the ranks In 2013, hive numbers in Man itoba dropped from 80,000 to 74,000. By 2016, numbers had climbed up to a record 102,000, at least partly due to an influx of new beekeepers.

“There’s a lot of socalled gurus on the Internet who preach to go this treatmentfree route and if you don’t know what you’re looking at, you can spread disease very quickly.” Allan Campbell Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association

The 2016 Statistics Canada annual report on honey production said Manitoba beekeeper numbers have grown from 517 in 2012 to 662 in 2016, although the province still made up only about seven per cent of all beekeepers in Canada. Of the 698 beekeepers registered with the province this year, 487 are hobby farms with 50 hives or less. Beekeepers must be commercial apiarists (over 50 hives) to be full members with the Beekeepers’ Association of Manitoba, although associate memberships are available for hobbyists. Disease information is offered both through the association’s website and through the provincial apiarist, Rhéal Lafreniere.

For many hobbyists, that education is coming from Rob Currie of the University of Manitoba. He runs a twomonth non-credit course covering bee anatomy and behaviour, hive management, regulations, marketing and management of pests and parasites. Two of the course’s eight nights are devoted to pathogens and pests, Currie said, although the topic permeates the course. Like Campbell, Currie identifies varroa mites and American foulbrood among the most serious beekeeping threats in Manitoba and stressed the need for monitor ing both before and after treatment. “Usually when beekeepers get into big trouble, it’s because their mites got out of control,” he said. “They either weren’t monitoring or they applied acaricides and assumed that the mite levels were low and then they had a problem with resistance so they ended up losing a lot of colonies as a result. “Without question, varroa mite is the No. 1 issue in terms of staying on top of it and making sure that you have good treatments in place and good monitoring in place.” Resistance to chemical treatment has been noted with both mites and American foulbrood, Currie said. His course also

covers fungal nosema infestations, tracheal mites and European foulbrood. He has also fielded questions about treatment-free beekeeping from his students. “We try and tell them that, although you can avoid using sort of the hard chemicals, that you would have to be very diligent in terms of using cultural controls and physical controls and we circle through those in class,” Currie said. While adver tised with a 60-student cap, Currie has said that class sizes have ranged between 100 and 125 over the last three years. The jump has been in line with a similar rise in beekeeping nationwide. Statistics Canada estimates there were about 9,900 beekeepers in Canada last year, 19 per cent more than in 2012. The industry produced $157.8 million worth of honey, of which $21 million came from Manitoba.

Prescription needed Sochaski has said he often reminds customers to educate themselves on disease when they call looking for medicines, but federal changes will likely pull those products from his shelves. Health Canada’s Antimicrobial Use Initiative would limit some antibiotics, such as those used to prevent the spread of foul-

brood, to distribution by a veterinarian. The move is part of federal efforts to address antibiotic resistance in humans and animals. In 2015, Canada was among the countries to suppor t the World Health Organization Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance, of which national action plans were a part. Ca m p b e l l , h owe ve r, h a s expressed concern over the changes. “Virtually every veterinarian knows nothing at all about bees, so on the one hand, yeah, they know drugs; they know antibiotics, but if they don’t know the animal, then it’s kind of disturbing,” he said. Beekeepers in other provinces have also protested the move. In a 2016 letter to Health Canada, the Ontario Beekeepers Association warned that “any restrictive access to antibiotics, such as requiring beekeepers to obtain a prescription from veterinarians, would be counterproductive and harmful to Ontario’s already fragile honeybee health and beekeeping industry.” The letter further recommended mandatory certification that would train new beekeepers in proper antibiotic use within five years of obtaining hives. astockford@farmmedia.com

Still a lot to learn about hog nutrition Ideas for small but significant changes may be difficult to incorporate into large-scale operations

“If the payback is in dollars per pig, I can’t ignore it.”

BY JOHN GREIG Glacier Media staff

s the hog industry b e c o m e s m o re i n t e grated, small changes in nutrition can have significant financial impacts across large systems. That means that swine nutritionists and academics are challenged to think about what level of proof is needed for changes to be implemented in the barn. That is one of the conundrums facing swine nutrition, says John Patience, a professor in the department of animal science at Iowa State University. Patience was raised in Ontario, c o m p l e t e d h i s b a c h e l o r’s and master’s degrees at the University of Guelph and was a research leader at the Prairie Swine Centre before moving to the United States. He was the presenter of the Kees de Lange Memorial Lecture at the university’s Swine Research Day held recently in Guelph, Ont. De Lange was a well-respected swine nutritionist who died in August 2016. Patience called him the “global thought leader in swine nutrition.” The university also announced at the research day that a scholarship will be created in de Lange’s name.

The manual gets longer Kees de Lange’s work in fact shows how much has been learned in swine nutrition over the past 50 years. The National Research Council (NRC) based in the United States sets the global standard for animal nutrition with its guidelines, which are the manual for livestock nutrition. The first one in the 1960s was about 80 pages. The latest update, led by de

John Patience Iowa State University

Lange in 2012, was more than 400 pages. “It needed greater detail because fundamentally that was the level the industry was operating at,” says Patience. Despite those 400 pages, Patience says there are significant limitations to what nutritionists can do, and the future of nutrition will be to overcome these challenges: • Feed mills are based on high throughput, especially those in the U.S. Midwest. Patience says a nutritionist might have a great idea to save $2 per hog, but there may be no way to get that ration change through a feed mill. • Nutritionists need better information about what is going on in barns in real time. With tight biosecurity and farmer concern about information sharing, it is difficult to have the information to make nutritional changes quickly on farms. • Energy systems have significant practical and technical limitations. Digestibility requirements change with age. Net energy is a measure used in feed formulation, but it can be calculated in several ways. • Pigs vary greatly in their biological capacity, and nutritional models have challenges taking that into consideration. Does a ration aim at the average, the top, or the bottom performers? • Academics define successful experiments by their repeatabil-

ity. How much can the results be trusted? Academics talk about P-Value, and an experiment with a lower P-Value than 0.05 is usually considered not repeatable enough. However, Patience says he’s had to challenge his own assumptions about repeatability in the real world of hog production in Iowa. A P-Value of 0.02 means something will still be right four out of five times. “If the payback is in dollars per pig, I can’t ignore it,” says Patience. If an employee tells their boss they can save $1 to $2 per pig, and the repeatability is four out of five, the boss will want to know why they shouldn’t do it. Ten cents per pig saving is worth a lot of money to farms selling hundreds of thousands of pigs per year, he says. • The rapid growth of feed additives makes for more decisions by nutritionists, some that have to be made with scant research available. As the use of antibiotics for growth promotion becomes limited, the need for understanding novel additives will be increasingly important. • Improving feed efficiency means pigs that need to use less energy for maintenance. As unhealthy pigs need more energy to fight infection, the value of maintaining a healthy herd will only increase in the future, when less energy goes to maintenance.

ational farm groups are beginning to gain traction with a united voice calling for better business risk management (BRM) programs for producers. The AgGrowth Coalition (AGC) is a response to national farm leaders recognizing, about a year ago, that the federal and provincial governments were avoiding a serious discussion about overhauling AgriStability and the other business risk management programs as part of upcoming Agriculture Policy Framework, due to start in April 2018. The farm groups had little success in getting recognition of the BRM shortcomings even though the economic potential of the agri-food sector was growing. During this time, the Barton Report appeared urging the federal government to fully recognize the potential for the agrifood sector to lead economic growth in eight key sectors. This year brought the federal budget setting an ambitious target in agr i-food export growth, and then the Powerhouse Report from the Canadian Agriculture Policy Institute and the Public Policy Forum, which put more ideas on the table for boosting agriculture. The farm groups quietly created AGC in January to press governments on a BRM review because of declining farmer participation in AgriStability and other programs. However, the AGC remained in the background until a May meeting of the federal and provincial ministers that saw little movement other than Ontar io Agriculture Minister Jeff Leal calling on his fellow ministers to launch a full BRM review. It fired off its first public statement expressing disappointment “that federal and provincial governments have not yet made a clear commitment to undertake a comprehensive review of business risk management (BRM) for Canadian farmers.” B e f o re t h e m e e t i n g , i t asked Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay to share its request for a BRM review of business risk management programs. After the meeting, it said, “it remains unclear whether a BRM review will in fact be part of the next Policy Framework.”

Ron Bonnett president, Canadian Federation of Agriculture

AGC will continue to seek a commitment on the review in advance of this summer’s meeting of the federal and provincial ministers at which time they hope to finalize the next APF. So far AGC consists of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, Canadian Canola Growers Association, Grain Growers of Canada, Grain Fa r m e r s o f O n t a r i o, t h e National Sheep Network, and the Canadian Horticultural Council. In addition to farmers dropping out of BRM because it wasn’t protecting them from fluctuating commodity prices, CFA president Ron Bonnett says the next iteration of BRM needs to be able to deal with trade disruptions such as the termination of NAFTA. It also needs to have better provisions for dealing with weather-created disasters. “We need to get the right mix of programs for the future,” he said. Mark Brock, chair of Grain Farmers of Ontario, said the lack of a clear government commitment means “we as farm groups need to continue our work with government in driving towards comprehensive modernization of our BRM programs, ensuring they keep pace with the 21st century business of farming – this isn’t about new money, it’s about more effective use of the existing funds allocated for risk management.” Ja c k Fro e s e, p re s i d e n t , Canadian Canola Growers Association, said, “Farmers are frustrated with the current state of risk management and want to see government and industry work together to find the right fit. Agriculture, like every sector, is continually changing and adapting to remain competitive and sustainable.” Alvin Keenan, president of the Canadian Horticulture Council, said, “Solid risk management is needed to help farmers navigate the risks that are beyond their control, while also providing a foundation to make the investments required for continued success.”

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

Quiet early-summer weather expected Issued: Monday, May 29, 2017 · Covering: May 31, 2017 – June 7, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

nce again an upper low took control of our weather, bringing the forecasted clouds and showers over the weekend. The slow movement of the low resulted in the clouds and showers sticking around longer than forecasted, and brought temperatures that were colder than expected. For this forecast, the weather is looking much quieter, with no major storm systems expected. This forecast period will begin on the sunny side, with high pressure sliding by to our south. Under the strong sunshine, temperatures will quickly moderate, with daytime highs climbing back into the low 20s and overnight lows around 10 C. As this southern high slides off to the east, another large area of high pressure is forecast to develop to our north. This high should help to keep away any precipitation from a weak low that is forecast to track through North or South Dakota over

the weekend. Extreme southwestern regions may see some clouds and possibly a stray shower late Friday or early Saturday. This large northern high looks as if it will control our weather over the weekend and into the first half of next week. We should see plenty of sunshine along with nice warm temperatures. Expected daytime highs are between 22 and 25 C, with overnight lows in the low teens. Northern regions will be the warmest, with some areas seeing highs approaching 30 C. Looking further ahead, the weather models show a lowpressure system quickly tracking through southern and central Manitoba late next week, bringing with it showers and thundershowers. High pressure is then forecast to build back in for the weekend. # Usual temperature range for # this period: Highs, 17 to 28 C; lows, 4 to 14 C.

Upper-level lows and cut-off lows

The latest such low spun into northwestern Manitoba, then dropped southeast BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

o o k i n g b a c k ove r t h e last couple of years, it’s beginning to seem like our spring weather is being defined by large upper-level lows. I know I was supposed to finish our look at severe thunderstor ms and tor nadoes, but with the cool thunderstorm-free weather we’ve been having, I thought we’d take a break and look once again at upper-level lows. So far we have had to deal with two large upper-level lows, with both lows behaving like, well, annoying upper-level lows! More on that later in the article. The first upper low affected our re g i o n ove r t h e Ma y l o n g w e e k e n d . T h i s l ow d e v e l oped over the central U.S., then followed a typical northeastern track ending up over northwestern Ontario. The low then spun for a day or two in this region before dropping straight south into Minnesota. The second upper low hit us last weekend. This l ow f o r m e d ov e r c e n t r a l Alberta, then slowly moved i n t o Sa s k a t c h e w a n , w h e re it dropped into southern regions before drifting northeast and ending up in northwester n Manitoba. At this

point the low spent a day or two spinning in place before dropping southeastward into Minnesota. I’ll have to admit, whenever I hear mention of an upper-level low or a cut-off low, I kind of cringe. Unless yo u a re i n a d ro u g h t a n d praying for rain, upper-level lows are never a good thing. They are tough to forecast, they tend to move very slowly and, because of that, they can stick around for days or even weeks! This slow movement then results in plenty of chances for rain or snow. Sometimes, depending on the nature of the upper-level low, we will see widespread rains, while other times the rain will come in the form of scattered showers or even thundershowers, which is what we saw from this latest upper low.

Between air masses What are upper-level lows and cut-off lows, and what causes them? Upper-level lows are often associated, at least at first, with strong surface lows. Surface lows can form for a number of reasons, but a vast majority of them form along the boundary between two different air masses and are associated with the jet stream. I f y o u re m e m b e r b a c k t o some of the articles I’ve writ-

The current positioning and strength of the jet stream is such that it is now helping to intensify the Pacific lows as they cross the Rocky Mountains.

ten about the jet stream and waves, you might remember that areas of low pressure tend to form in the turbulent flow along the edges of the jet stream. This is kind of like watching eddies form in the water when two different currents meet. These eddies or lows, if they stay along the edge of the two different currents or jet stream, tend to move along fairly quickly. Occasionally, these features c a n b re a k a w a y f ro m t h i s region and when they do, they tend to meander around until they either slowly weaken or get caught up in the main current once again, then quickly move away. This is what we see happen when extreme loops o f h i g h a n d l ow p re s s u re d e v e l o p, w h i c h i s s o m e thing that brought the cold weather over the last couple of weeks. The current positioning and strength of the jet stream is such that

it is now helping to intensify the Pacific lows as they cross the Rocky Mountains. As they strengthen, cold air in the upper atmosphere gets pulled into the low, creating a pool of cold air above the low. This helps to reduce the height of the atmosphere over that region, which lowers the pressure in the upper atmosphere, creating an upper low. Upper lows in themselves are not that unusual; having them break away and become a cut-off low is. If the jet stream is strong enough, or the curving around the area of low pressure becomes very exaggerated, the upper low can break away from the main flow of the jet stream. Once this happ e n s, t h e u p p e r l ow d o e s not have any strong steering currents and it tends to just meander or wander around. In the summer, because these upper lows are pools of cold air in the upper atmosphere,

we tend to see a lot of showers and thunderstorms develop. During the day the sun tries t o w a r m t h e s u r f a c e a re a under these lows. The warming air starts to rise as it finds a cold atmosphere around it. This allows the air to continue to rise, creating showers and thunderstor ms, usually by mid- to late afternoon. These showers and storms tend to weaken overnight, only for the whole cycle to begin again the next day. To sum it all up: upper-level lows on their own are not necessarily a bad thing. Things get bad when they break away from the jet stream or become cut off from it, forming a cutoff low. These lows move very slowly and meander around, which means they bring prolonged periods of unsettled weather and, because of their s l ow m ove m e n t , we o f t e n see large amounts of rain, or snow if it is cold enough. Typically, we only see one or two of these cut-off lows impact our region, so hopefully this latest one will be the last one we see this spring and summer. Next issue we’ll look back at May’s weather, then look ahead to see what the latest long-range summer forecasts say. We will finish up our look at severe thunderstorms and tornadoes after that.

Growers profit from ‘drink local’ movement Staff / Penhold

Wade McAllister

Having a more direct connection with end-users is “more exciting” than just selling a commodity product, says Penhold-area producer Wade McAllister. PHOTO: Jennifer Blair

Malting has noticed a growing trend toward end-user relationships between breweries and producers, said Kevin Sich, grain department manager for Rahr. “We’re seeing more and more that the brewers want to know the farmers,” said Sich. “Everybody wants to eat and drink local, so a lot of these brewers are identifying with that, too. “Five or 10 years ago, no brewery even cared where their malt came from. But now we’re finding that they’re coming out to do a plant tour here and they also want to see a couple of farmers, too.” And while the trend may have started with the craft brewers, the big guys are also jumping on board with the growing consumer interest in where their food — and drink — comes from. “It all started with the craft guys — that drink local, eat local movement. That’s just resonating with everyone now, and it’s really becoming a big part of the industry,” said Sich. “The major accounts are waking up to this too. They’re seeing that this is important. I’ve been here

eight years, and I’ve never seen such a connection.”

‘Not just a commodity’ In many ways, malt barley is “the first real true connection” that the conventional agriculture industry has with its end-users, Sich added. “You don’t see that with wheat yet. You don’t see Robin Hood saying, ‘Where’s our flour coming from?’ he said. “Barley is the first one that’s really testing that, but I think we’re going to see more and more of the industry going that way. “Malt barley is not just a commodity anymore.” And producers are benefiting from these direct relationships. The McAllisters have seen roughly a 30 per cent increase in the price they can get for their malt barley since the single-desk system was abolished, in part because of the price premium they receive from direct contracting. “I don’t think I’d be farming if the wheat board still existed,” said McAllister. “Knowing what we do now, it would be impossible to run an operation.”

But the price premium comes at a cost — namely, more paperwork. Major companies want records from seeding to harvest and everything in between — “they want to know everything you do to that crop.” “The guys at Sapporo and New Belgium want to look back and see exactly where and how that barley was grown,” said McAllister. “It’s no problem for us. We’re not hiding anything. We get a bit of a price premium for doing this, but we’d do it anyway.” Traceability is a key part of Rahr Malting’s program. That is, after all, what end-users expect in 2017. “We have full traceability. We can trace a kernel of barley from the field through the plant and right out the back end,” said Sich. “You are getting paid extra for doing that work for us. Our producers go the extra mile for us, and we want to reward them for that.” But for McAllister, it’s not all about the money. As much as consumers want to know where their food comes from, McAllister wants to know where his food is going. “We like having those relationships with the end-user — being able to sell our product to a brewer and having it use 100 per cent of our product,” said McAllister. “With our canola, we don’t have a clue where it ends up. Our wheat is shipped all over the world. But to have the barley stay local in our province and be used is awesome. “It’s more exciting for us as producers to see where it goes.”

*Post-infection protection varies by disease.

ade McAllister didn’t expect to be a direct marketer when he returned to his family’s grain farm in 2010. But with the demise of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, McAllister found a whole new market open to him — direct contracts with breweries for his malt barley. “Ever since the wheat board was dropped, we’ve noticed a huge increase in end-user relationships,” said McAllister, who operates Antler Valley Farm near Penhold, Alta. with father Wayne and brother Scott. “We never had these close relationships because it was all sold through the wheat board. A truck would come in and get it, and maybe it went to Rahr or maybe it went to Canada Malt, but we never knew that. “Now that the wheat board is no longer in place, we’re able to market our grain on our own, and we’re able to develop these relationships and see where the product is going.” McAllister is one of a growing number of Alberta producers who are direct contracting their malt barley crops to breweries — and not just small-scale local craft brewers, either. More and more, major international breweries — such as American craft brewers New Belgium and Lagunitas or Japan’s Sapporo — are looking to create connections with Alberta producers, in part because of the quality of the province’s malt barley but also because of the growing ‘drink local’ movement. “Ever ybody wants to know where their food comes from these days,” said McAllister, who currently contracts malt barley to New Belgium through Rahr Malting and Sapporo through Canada Malt. “I think that’s definitely where agriculture is going.” Producers like McAllister aren’t the only ones seeing this shift. Over the past five years, Rahr

What’s in your field? Planting a pair of tighty whities can help you find out BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff/Near Roland, Man.

oug Wilton is curious about how much soil “wildlife” is in his fields. That’s why the Roland-area farmer is participating in the “s o i l y o u r u n d i e s” d e m o n stration launched during Soil Conservation Week in April. “The Soil Conservation Council (of Canada) decided this would be something kind of fun and exciting and different to do in order to bring some awareness to the issue,” Marla Riekman, Manitoba Agriculture’s land management specialist, said April 18 on a sunny, but cold, windy day in Wilton’s zero-till field. Riekman planted tighty whities in several Manitoba fields this spring. She will dig them up midsummer for an inspection. “What we are trying to show is the microbial activity,” she said. “What happens is the microbes can’t tell the difference between cotton or a piece of crop residue. It’s all carbon to them. They are going to chew that up over time. “There are times when all you have left are the seams if there is a lot of activity.

tle grain of salt as to what the actual results mean.” Wilton hopes the underwear test will show his field has lots of soil microbes after 25 to 30 years in zero till. “The soil is full of life and I’d like to see how lively mine is,” he said. “Soil is a living thing and we need to watch that we have this to get the organic breakdown. “I know I have lots of worms out there but it would be nice to see what works to get the organic material.” When Wilton and his dad bought this parcel of heavy clay land in 1966, hard soil made it difficult to work. A plow would skim the top or go too deep. The previous owner routinely burned the crop residue following harvest.

“We felt we needed to do something with it so we put it down to alfalfa... and that helped a lot, but still the organic matter wasn’t up to where I’d like to see it,” Wilton said. “So I started zero tilling back in the mid- ’70s. “I felt that through zero tilling I could get that organic matter back up to where I’d like to see it. I think I am achieving that.” Salinity at the west end of the field also disappeared. Tile drainage is increasingly popular with farmers in this

area, but Wilton says this field doesn’t need it. “I feel that my tile drainage is in the worms that develop in my soils,” he said. “I get a good soilwater mix. I don’t find puddling in the fields after a rain.” Wilton was initially discouraged when he started zero tilling this field. The soil was so hard it wouldn’t cover the seed during planting so it had to be harrowed, he said. But with time the soil improved and continues to get better, Wilton added.

Not all Wilton’s fields are in zero till. He handles grain cornfields, which produce a lot of tough-to-manage residue, differently. “We minimum till those fields through a rotation and we will drill directly into, say, a soybean field with our corn and then rotate oats back in there,” he said. “To get rid of that corn stubble we have trouble to zero till that.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

Bringing back flowers to the field Operation Pollinator is asking producers to set aside two acres for pollinator-attracting plants this summer BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

n initiative to increase biodiversity and pollinator habitat on golf courses is making its large-scale farm debut this summer. Operation Pollinator, spearheaded by Syngenta, was introduced in Canada in 2012 after first appearing in the United Kingdom over a decade ago. The program first approached golf courses, providing seed for outof-play areas to be planted with pollinator-attracting plants. “(We) have seen a tremendous benefit to native pollinators — butterflies and bees — increasing in these plots, so you do see a tangible benefit,” Paul Hoekstra, Syngenta Canada senior stewardship and policy manager, said. “Even small spaces can make a big difference to native bees and other pollinators.” Syngenta followed up the golf course program with pilot projects on select farms before partnering with the Soil Conservation Council of Canada (SCCC) this year, to roll out the program across the Prairies. The program will provide enough seed for up to two acres of pollinator-friendly plants per farm, agronomy advice and financial assistance to offset planting costs. “From the Soil Conservation Council of Canada’s point of view,

This summer will be the first producers across Western Canada can access free seed for pollinator-friendly plants through Operation Pollinator. Photo: Alexis Stockford

Operation Pollinator is very close to our interests and mandate in helping to sustain the viability of the agricultural landscape, including soil,” SCCC executive director Jim Tokarchuk said. “We see that having a good, healthy population of pollinators working with us on the landscape is good for producers; it’s good for crop production. It’s generally a positive thing on the landscape and it’s just an exciting opportunity to work with some of our provincial partners and with a company like Syngenta in bringing this kind of program to Canada.” The Manitoba Conservation District Association, Agriculture Research and Extension Council of Alberta and Saskatchewan Conservation Association are provincial partners and direct farm contacts with the program.

The mix Both perennial and annual species make up the seed provided to producers, including three types of clover, phacelia, birdsfoot trefoil and timothy grass, chosen for its quick growth to discourage weeds while slower-growing plants become established. “The mix was selected for a variety of reasons,” Hoekstra said. “First of all, you want to make sure that the mix provides a good season-long bloom for native pollinators and other insects. It’s good forage for these animals, these insects, as well as a habitat for them to live, so that’s the first criteria. The second is, really, we want to make sure that this is compatible with commercial operations on the farm, so we want to

make sure that the seed mix is readily available, that the seed types are not rare and certainly not difficult to source commercially. We want to make sure that things are also available to be scaled to a larger farm size with planting equipment, etc. And we also wanted to make sure that the seed mix was developed so it could be utilized across a broad range of geographies and conditions.” Operation Pollinator hopes to register 100 sites throughout the Prairies this year and is about one-third of the way to that goal. “One hundred acres across Prairie Canada is a very small amount and I think, in general, we’ve been very well supported because I think this shows another additional commitment by agricultural producers towards biodiversity and the environment,” Tokarchuk said. Producers are encouraged to plant solid patches of at least one acre under the program, a stipulation the SCCC has said will encourage habitat density. Most producers signed on so far have opted for a single two-acre patch, Tokarchuk said. Manitoba Agriculture also applauded the program. David Ostermann, industry specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, cited the role of both native and managed pollinators in agriculture and the benefit of longerblooming plants to pollinator populations.

“Smaller pollinators in particular often have a relatively short habitat range, so more areas for them can increase their distribution and benefits they provide,” he said. “Untilled areas are good for pollinators that nest in the ground, such as many native bees in the province.” Increased biodiversity may also contribute to more pest insect stability, he said. Provincial entomologists have advocated buffer strips — unharvested, biodiverse areas neighbouring fields — to encourage pollinator and beneficial predator and parasitoid populations. Ostermann said such buffers should be at least 20 to 30 feet wide. “Relative to the arable farmland in the province, seed for one to two acres may not be a lot, but these initiatives can be quite popular on their own or with other activities, and can raise a lot of awareness at the same time,” he said. Operation Pollinator currently runs in 13 countries and includes research and public education on biodiversity and pollinator health on top of its habitat building programs. Anyone wishing to participate in the project can register through the SCCC website or through the Manitoba Conservation District Association. astockford@farmmedia.com

Minimal canola damage after mercury dips Canola-growing regions in Manitoba will largely recover from any damage suffered during a mid-May period of frost, agronomists say “Certainly, at this point it’s not a big concern. There are some claims for sure but I think, largely, not a lot of canola was up when that frost hit.”

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

he third week of May was a frosty one, but so far it seems the canola crop is largely fine. Producers are reporting minimal damage after temperatures dropped below freezing across the province for several successive nights. “Certainly, at this point it’s not a big concern,” David Va n De y n ze, M A S C v i c e president of insurance operations, said. “There are some claims for sure but I think, largely, not a lot of canola was up when that frost hit.” The Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC) has received 43 canola claims this year, including those that are not frost related. Claims are largely scattered through southcentral Manitoba and select areas in the northwest. Van Deynze noted delayed seeding may have saved some acres, which otherwise would have been more developed and vulnerable to frost. Canola seeding ranged from 40-60 per cent complete in western Manitoba and 80 to 100 per cent complete in central Manitoba as

of May 23, although central Manitoba crops were not advanced in the south and eastern areas of the region, according to the provincial crop report. Justine Cornelsen, agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada in western Manitoba, also cited low emergence for the lack of damage.

Farm Progress Forum presented by FCC

“We’ve got the odd report of some people needing to reseed because of the damage, but very, very minimal just because most canola acres weren’t seeded last week, so they weren’t up and out of the ground yet to be affected by the frost and, because of the cooler weather leading up to the frost date, any of the plants

that were up were accli matized to it,” she said. “In fields, you would see frost damage in areas where there was maybe a lot of residue where that soil just hadn’t warmed up enough. Producers would have lost the odd plant, but nothing worth reseeding by any means.” A “very limited” number o f a c re s f a c e d re s e e d i n g after the frost, according to the May 23 provincial crop report. Cornelsen also noted that most damaged acres were showing signs of recovery. “With frost on canola, it is best to check a few days after the event,” she said. “That allows whatever damage to be caused to really s h ow i t s e l f . W h e n yo u’re looking at canola plants, m o s t o f t h e m a re a t t h e

cotyledon stage, so you’re actually going to look at the growing point on the plant to assess damage. So, when you come back four days later, if that growing point is green and healthy and looks good, that plant will pull through.” Assuming their crops survived the frost, Cornelsen reminded producers to be on the lookout for flea beetles. The province has noted both striped and crucifer flea beetle presence in central Manitoba. “You do lose a few (plants) to other events throughout the year, so just make sure y o u’re t a k i n g y o u r p l a n t counts right now to see what you’ve got to work with for the rest of the season,” she said. astockford@farmmedia.com

Funding available to collaborative projects Government aims to push agriculture to industry value of $75 billion by the year 2025 By Shannon VanRaes Co-operator staff

he federal government has announced it will spend $950 million on what it’s calling an “Innovation Superclusters Initiative” to advance sectors like infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and agriculture. While Innovation, Science and Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains made the announcement near Ottawa last week, Finance Minister Bill Morneau was at the University of Manitoba to “highlight” the role agriculture and agri-foods will play in the initiative. “Agri-food, agriculture is absolutely one of those places where we know that a focus on creating more innovation can make an enormous difference over the long term,” he said, noting his advisory council on economic

growth has reported on the benefits of collaboration in industries like agriculture. “We made the observation over the course of our research... that there are places in the world that are significantly more successful because they combine the effectiveness of research through universities and other kinds of institutions with large anchor firms and smaller vibrant firms and they come together to actually create much more than the sum of their parts,” Morneau told those gathered in a lab at the Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals to hear him speak. Noting that agriculture and agri-foods currency accounts for six per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product, the minister then set a goal for industry expansion. “We think that we can increase this sector to $75 billion by 2025,

we know that that’s a very, very aggressive target, and we know that in order to do that we need to actually do some things to make it happen,” Morneau said. To assist in this, the minister added that agri-food enter-

prises will also be eligible to access funding from the government’s $1.26-billion, fiveyear Strategic Innovation Fund. There will be funding available for those looking to better protect waterways, including the

Lake Winnipeg basin as well, he said. First noted in the Liberal’s 2017 budget, the superclusters will allocate “a small number of high-value, strategic investments in the form of non-repayable contributions to industryled consortia through a twophase application process,” according to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. Those contributions could be as large as $250 million and will be matched by private sector investment. “So by bringing together innovators, collaborators from an academic standpoint, from a business standpoint, we can have a real impact on growing sectors that are so important for the future of our country,” Morneau said. “Today is the day we are starting down that path.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

CROP REPORT

Seeding nears 90 per cent completion, weather cooler Manitoba Agriculture crop report issued May 29, 2017 Provincial Summary There were moderate to coolerthan-normal temperatures last week. Strong southerly winds on Wednesday caused soil blowing and drifting on soils with dry topsoil and poor crop residue. Low to moderate rainfall amounts were reported in most regions with the highest precipitation in the northwest where some fields are excessively wet and will require days of good drying conditions before field operations resume. Seeding is nearing completion in Manitoba with about 90 per cent of cultivated acres seeded. Many growers are already done. Seeding is lagging most in the Northwest and Southwest regions with 70 to 85 per cent completed respectively. Earliest-planted cereals are in the three- to four-leaf stage and post-emergence herbicide applications are going on as weather conditions allow. Low insect pressure generally reported at this time on earlyemerging crops.

Southwest Region Five to 20 mm of rainfall over the past week has slowed down seeding operations. The highest rainfall was recorded in Russell and the surrounding area. The southwest corner received very little precipitation this week, where crops could benefit from some rainfall. Cool, windy weather has slowed emergence. There have been some reports of wind damage to seeded crops. Higher temperature will be very beneficial at this stage. Winter wheat and fall rye continue to progress well with few fields at the early-boot stage. Weed control applications have been completed in most winter cereal fields. Overall seeding is about 85 per cent complete with south of Highway 1 at 95 per cent while areas to the north

are 75 per cent done. Field peas are 100 per cent done seeding with very good emergence. Most of fields are at second- to thirdnode stage. Producers are planning for herbicide application. Cereal crops are about 90 per cent complete with only wetter fields and some silage or greenfeed acres to be planted. Some of the early-seeded cereal crops are in the three- to fourleaf stage. Canola is about 75 per cent done seeding with early-planted canola emerging. There are some reports of light flea beetle feeding on canola. Corn is about 80 per cent done planting with some early fields emerging. Sunflowers are emerging as well. Soybeans are about 80 per cent planted with some early fields just starting to emerge.

Northwest Region Te m p e r a t u r e s w e r e c o o l through the week, however, seeding progressed until rain mid-week halted operations. Rainfall amounts varied from 15 to 25 mm. The Pas area received over 35 mm. Soil moisture is generally adequate throughout the region with the exception of those areas that received higher rainfall amounts. Fields in the northern part of the region are inundated and will need extremely good drying conditions. Most of the region made progress with seeding. Overall seeding is estimated to be 70 per cent complete. The exceptions are The Pas and Lenswood/ Birch River areas where inundated fields are curtailing field operations. Approximately 90 per cent of the wheat crop has been seeded and about 75 per cent of it is emerging. Emergence has been uniform. Fifty to 60 per cent of the canola crop is seeded with emergence varying from 15 to 50 per

cent. There was some frost in the Roblin area, but it has not caused significant damage. Good progress has been made on seeding of soybeans, however, recent rainfall is causing some producers to rethink their seeding plans. Most acres of field peas are seeded and emerging uniformly.

Central Region We a t h e r c o n d i t i o n s w e re favourable for seeding operations to progress with the majority of the crop seeded in most areas. Seeding is considered to be 95 to 100 per cent completed in the region. The St-Claude area is lagging behind for seeding progress with 50 to 60 per cent complete due to wetter soil conditions. Dry beans are almost all planted in the region with about 90 per cent in the ground. The region received some rainfall this past week, with amounts received ranging from five to 15 mm. Dry topsoil conditions prevail in lighter-textured soils in the southwest part of the region and germination is impacted as a result. Strong southerly winds on Wednesday caused soil blowing on fields with poor crop residue cover. A few fields of canola were reseeded from last week’s frost that impacted the western side of the region. Most emerged frost-sensitive crops survived the sub-zero temperatures. The recent rains have been beneficial as uneven germination was seen in fields with poor seedbed conditions. The majority of cereals are emerged and growing well. Most cereal crops are in the three- to four-leaf stage. Canola acres are considered all seeded at this time. Slow emergence and growth due to cooler temperatures as well as dry soils has allowed

for flea beetle injury to occur. Insecticide applications are being made to headlands, and in a few cases, entire fields. Canola fields are in the cotyledon to two-leaf stage in eastern areas. The field peas are emerging well, as is corn. Cornfields are in the one- to two-leaf stage and growing slowly due to the cooler temperatures. Sunflowers and flax are emerging. Soybean planting is considered complete. Some soybean fields are starting to emerge. Winterkill has been a concern in some winter wheat and perennial ryegrass fields in eastern parts of the region. Post-seed and pre-emergent herbicide applications and now post-emergent applications are a challenge due to windy conditions.

Eastern Region Small amounts of precipitation fell this past week with amounts ranging from two to nine mm reported. The rain slowed the seeding progress but most welcomed the moisture as seedbeds on the whole were on the dry side. Soil moisture conditions on cropland across the region were rated as adequate to slightly inadequate. Soil moisture conditions of hayfields and pastures were rated at 10 per cent surplus, 80 per cent adequate to 10 per cent short. Producers made good pro gress last week with almost all cultivated acres seeded. Across the region an assortment of crops are left to be seeded. In certain situations, dry seedbed conditions are still a concern. This is particularly true of crops seeded last week into dry seedbeds including heavily worked fields or terminated hay stands that were direct seeded. These hay stands had suffered extensive winter damage and were

terminated and direct seeded. Pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide spraying goes on in several crop types. The most post-emergent applications have happened in cereals as early-seeded fields are the most advanced. There has been some very early post-emergent spraying in soybeans where there are concerns about already present weed pressure. The number of field sprayers out on the land increased steadily as last week progressed. Across the region it is estimated that 90 to 95 per cent of spring seeding is complete.

Interlake Region Cool temperatures and muchneeded showers were experienced this past week. Most of the Interlake received between three to seven mm of rain. Seeding is near completed in the Interlake region with two to five per cent left to seed. Most cereals have emerged and are nearing the stage for spraying herbicides. Some spring-seeded fields in the south Interlake have been sprayed for weeds, but little post-emergent spraying was done in the north Interlake. In the south Interlake, producers have been able to seed fields corner to corner and have had small showers to enhance crop emergence. Frost, cutworm and flea beetle damage has been minimal throughout the region so far. Soybean development varies in the area from cotyledon to unifoliate stages. Warm-season crops such as soybeans and corn are slow to emerge and grow. Forage seed fields continue to grow well and will be sprayed to control weeds in the weeks to come. Diamondback moth counts have been monitored for the last two weeks and low counts have been reported.

The Bergen Cut-Off A long-abandoned rail bridge is one of the few remaining artifacts of a forgotten grain line BY ALEX CAMPBELL Manitoba Agricultural Museum

h i l e c ro s s i n g ove r the Kildonan Settlers Bridge in Winnipeg, if you look south, you catch a glimpse of a disused railway swing bridge perched on its pier in the middle of the Red River. At this point, many readers will be thinking, “My sainted aunt! Writing an article about an abandoned bridge in Winnipeg! How does this relate to agriculture? They must have lost their minds at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum! What is next?” However, the readers will be astonished to learn the disused bridge has an agricultural connection. It is a remnant of the CPR’s Bergen CutOff which was a rail line meant to reroute grain traffic around the CPR’s yards and main line in Winnipeg as these facilities were quite congested in the pre-First World War era. The rapid expansion of cultivation on the Prairies in the period 1895 to 1910 posed huge problems for the CPR, Canadian Northern Pacific (CNoP) and Grand Trunk Pacific (GTP) railways which struggled with the grain traffic these railways were expected to handle from the Prairies to the Lakehead in the fall. This congestion continued as the railways, after the freeze-up at the Lakehead in the late fall, were then faced with a winter movement of grain to the ice-free ports on the St. Lawrence and on the Eastern Seaboard. The three railways added more boxcars and locomotives in order to handle the exploding grain traffic. As well as western grain traffic, the Canadian railways in this time also enjoyed a substantial “bridge” traffic resulting from the need to move goods from Pacific ports to Atlantic ports and vice versa. The Canadian railways were the only railways in North America to run from the Atlantic to the Pacific and so were ideal to handle the substantial volume of goods moving between Asia and Europe. While some cargoes moved by vessel from Europe to Asia and vice versa, for various reasons European and Asian shippers felt it was advisable to move a significant volume of goods by vessel to a Canadian port and then move it by rail to the other coast for reloading onto a vessel and its final destination. This route was probably faster than an all-water route at the time. But whatever the reasons this traffic was considerable in volume and was very profitable to the CPR, CNoP and GTP. The CPR faced enormous pressure in 1911 as a result of the above factors. Winnipeg posed problems for the CPR

Some 100 years after it was constructed and 80 years after it was abandoned, the Bergen Cut-Off rail bridge remains spanning the Red River. The photo shows clearly the swing portion of the bridge which has been left in the open position so as to allow vessels on the river to move through. However, it has been a number of years since any vessels big enough to warrant the bridge being open have operated in this area of the Red River. Given it has been probably decades since the bridge saw any maintenance, it appears to be in good condition and is a tribute to the contractors who built the structure.

as its main line, rail yards and facilities in the city were congested with traffic but were also surrounded by a rapidly growing city which constrained the CPR’s ability to improve its facilities. The CPR came up with an ambitious plan that would see the CPR bypass Winnipeg to the north with a rail line plus the plan would also result in a thoroughly modern rail yard by 1910 standards, set up to handle large numbers of boxcars every day. This plan would ease greatly the CPR’s problems in Winnipeg with its congested Winnipeg facilities. Work on this plan actively began in 1911. The Bergen Cut-Off ran between a point called Norcan on the CPR’s Keewatin subdivision, east of Winnipeg, and Woodman Tower on the CPR’s Carberry Subdivision which is west of Winnipeg. The line was well north of Winnipeg at the time and ran through what was largely farmland in 1911. The new rail line required a bridge over the Red River which, being a navigable river at the time, meant the bridge had to include a swing section to allow vessels to pass. The line was double tracked, including the bridge. Just east of Norcan, the CPR constructed the North Transcona yard. The yard was a complicated affair which can be best described as double sided. One side consisted of an

“Winnipeg posed problems for the CPR as its main line, rail yards and facilities in the city were congested with traffic but were also surrounded by a rapidly growing city.”

eastbound receiving yard with 20 tracks and an eastbound classification and departure yard with 20 tracks. Each track could hold 72 cars. A 35-foothigh hump track separated the receiving yard and the classification and departure yard. Cars in the receiving yard were pushed over the hump and rolled down into the classification and departure yard and were directed to various tracks in this yard to make up trains going to a single destination. A “car rider” rode the car down the hump to operate the car’s brakes and prevent the car from rolling too fast into the cars already in the track. The other side of the yard was identical, except this side handled the westbound traffic. In between the east- and westbound yards were repair, icing, transfer, caboose storage and coal storage tracks. This area also held a “ready for service” locomotive yard, a 44-stall roundhouse, a coal dock to fuel locomotives, water tower and other locomotive servicing facilities.

The facility could be expanded in a second phase to a total of 30 tracks in both receiving yards and 40 tracks in both classification/departure yards. The capacity of the yard in the first phase was 7,500 of the standard 36-foot boxcars with an ultimate capacity of 13,136 boxcars with the addition of the second phase. An early one-day record for the North Transcona yard was the handling of 2,000 boxcars during a fall grain “rush.” However, the second phase was never built for several reasons. The opening of the Panama Canal resulted in the CPR losing the “bridge” traffic moving between the Atlantic Coast and Pacific Coast as the canal substantially eased vessel movement between Asia and Europe and made vessel movement more economical than the previous vessel-railvessel route. The CPR experienced a substantial downturn in traffic as a result. As well, the First World War resulted in a substantial decrease in

grain moving through the Lakehead to Europe. After the war, Vancouver opened up as a grain export port, resulting in a long-term declining demand for grain movement to the Lakehead. A further problem surfaced with the soil conditions in the area of the North Transcona yard proving unable to support large structures. The CPR i m p rov e d i t s f a c i l i t i e s i n Winnipeg which, when combined with the reduced traffic through Winnipeg, resulted in the Bergen Cut-Off seeing much less traffic than expected. The economic Depression of the 1930s resulted in a severe downturn in traffic with the result that the cut-off was surplus to needs. The CPR removed the line sometime after 1933 but left in place the bridge over the Red River. The yard was not completely removed at the time with the remnants serving as a storage facility however, at this time, little remains of the yard. For some reason, the rail bridge was left spanning the river other than having its heavy creosoted timber deck removed.

Prairie fare Reap the benefits of family mealtimes Regular family meals can strengthen relationships and help children do better in school BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

“

hould we go see a hawk?” my son asked after we finished eating dinner with the rest of our family. He was about 11 at the

time. “Sure. Maybe we will see Spock on the way,” I replied. Back then, my son and I had to be a little devious about using words that rhymed with “walk” when we went on regular walks around our neighbourhood. My younger daughter, who was three at the time, wanted to go along with us if she heard the word “walk.” However, she wouldn’t walk, ride in a stroller or drive a tricycle. She wanted to be carried on our back or shoulders. We sneaked out of the house to avoid carrying her for two or three miles. We usually brought her to the park when we returned. Thinking back, my daughter had this process figured out. She liked the playground at the park. Back then, my son was barely up to my shoulders. Then he grew to be “nose high.” Reaching my height was a significant milestone. We would stand back to back so he could show me that he was catching up with my height. Then he grew taller than both of us parents, and suddenly all his jeans were “high-water pants.” Yes, we were providing nutritious food at all those family meals, but I began wondering just how tall this kid was going to get. He stopped growing at six foot three, about eight inches taller than I am. Now we mark another significant milestone in our household: our son’s college graduation. We are proud of the young man he has become. In looking back, those regular family mealtimes and after-dinner walks were beneficial in many ways. Eating together was a family tradition that allowed us to take a break to catch up with our three kids and their busy lives. You can learn a lot about your child’s life by going on walks, too. On the nutrition front, meals eaten with family members include less fat, less pop, and more fruits and vegetables. Family meals also tend to be higher in calcium, fibre and other essential nutrients. Children who eat balanced meals with their families are less likely to become overweight.

Having a meal together as a family provides countless benefits to children and adults alike. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK

Research published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) shows that children in families who share three or more meals together per week are 24 per cent more likely to consume healthful foods. Additionally, the AAP researchers showed the odds of being overweight or obese decrease 12 per cent for children who eat at least three family meals together weekly. Regular family meals can strengthen relationships. Gathering as a family creates structure and acts as a protective factor, especially for teens. As a result of this family connection, children are less likely to engage in risky behaviour such as smoking, drinking alcohol or trying drugs. Family meals can promote better academic performance. When children get proper nutrition, their brains and bodies are fuelled. They are better able to pay attention in school and learn. When they eat with their families, young children learn new words and expand their vocabularies. By the time they are teens, children who eat regularly with their families do better academically than their peers who do not. While meals eaten together in a restaurant “count” as family meals, making meals at home can save money. In many cases, you can prepare a meal for a family for the same price as one entree in a sit-down restaurant.

It includes monthly challenges, an e-newsletter and recipes. Visit https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/familytable for more information. Join the family meal challenges with prize drawings for participation. Videotape your favourite family table memory and post it on the Facebook site. Regardless of your household size, you may find some tips and recipes to enjoy. Despite living on his own, my son still texts me in the afternoon and asks me, “What’s for dinner?” I think he would be over to join us in no time if I told him that beef kabobs are on the menu. Maybe we would top off this family meal by “looking for a hawk.” However, we’d let my younger daughter lead the way. Here’s a delicious recipe and nutrition analysis courtesy of the North Dakota Beef Commission. Enjoy with a tossed green salad, whole wheat rolls and milk for a balanced meal.

Grate peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from orange; reserve juice in a separate bowl not in contact with raw meat. Combine grated orange peel, cilantro, paprika and ground red pepper, if desired, in small bowl. Cut beef steak into 1-1/4inch pieces. Place beef and 2-1/2 tablespoons cilantro mixture in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Place remaining cilantro mixture and fruit in

ose Jackson pulled the brim of her hat down to shield her eyes from the bright morning sun. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the bright-orange flash of an oriole flitting from tree to tree in the neighbour’s yard as she walked by. Something glinted on the sidewalk by her feet and she stopped to bend over and pick it up. A shiny new quarter. The moment took her back to the childhood memory of a day much like this, when, as a little girl she had gone to town with her father. Walking along the sidewalk in front of the old hardware store that day, she had found a dime hiding in a crack in the concrete. “Can I keep it?” she had asked her father. “I guess so,” her father had replied. “Not much else we can do with it. Just don’t spend it all in one place.” Rose smiled at the thought. There was a time when one could have a dime and actually not spend it all in one place. A penny would have got her a single bubble gum at the grocery store, four pennies would have bought a toy whistle at the hardware store and she would still have had a nickel left to spend on candy at the pharmacy. But she remembered that she hadn’t taken her father’s advice. She had followed him into the store and while he searched for the particular tool he was looking for that day, probably a vice grip, (he seemed always to be needing another vice grip) she had wandered over to the cooler in the corner, and taken out a bottle of Orange Crush. She could still feel the shape of the bottle and the coldness of the glass in her hand as she had reached up to place it on the counter by the cash register. The boy behind the counter had taken her dime and, reaching under the counter for a bottle opener, had popped the cap off of the bottle for her. She had never had a carbonated drink before and the sweet orange flavour of it, combined with the delicious fizz of the carbonation had been a revelation. Back in the present, a few minutes later, Rose had covered the few blocks that took her to the door of the café on Main Street. A lone car idled past, old Albert Johnson’s Cadillac.

The

Jacksons By Rollin Penner

Rose waved but Albert didn’t wave back. Rose stepped into the café and immediately spotted her friend Karen at the table by the window. She headed over and sat down.

“I can’t believe Albert Johnson still has a driver’s licence,” said Karen, who had apparently been looking out the window. “I know,” said Rose. “I just waved at him and he didn’t wave back. I’m pretty sure he couldn’t actually see me.” “He told Grant last week that when he pulls off of his driveway onto the road he has to open his window and listen to make sure there’s no traffic,” said Karen. “It’s crazy.” “Oh well,” said Rose. “He never goes anywhere except to the Co-op, and everybody knows his car so they can take appropriate precautions. Nothing anyone can do but hope for the best, right?” “I guess,” said Karen. She turned her gaze away from the window. “What’s new?” she asked. “Not a thing,” said Rose. “Everything is old. Which is just the way I like it. Maybe I’m old myself. I was daydreaming about the good old days on my walk over here. That seems like an old person activity, doesn’t it?” “Depends,” said Karen. “Sometimes the good old days can be like, last Friday.” “I was thinking more 1963-ish,” said Rose. “Back when things at the Five and Ten Cent Store actually cost five and 10 cents.” “Yeah that’s going back,” said Karen. “That’s a few years before my time. But you’re not old, my dear. You are in what’s known as your prime.” “I may be a year or two past that,” said Rose, “but I appreciate the thought. I certainly don’t feel old. I don’t know what would make me feel old on a summer morning as beautiful as this one.” Karen glanced out the window. “Maybe rolling down the window of your car to listen for traffic you can no longer see,” she said. Rose laughed. “Thank goodness I can still see,” she said, “as long as I have my glasses.” “Can I get you something to drink?” The waitress had appeared at last. “Coffee.” Rose smiled. “No coffee today. I think I’ll have an Orange Crush,” she said. “In the bottle.”

Growing vegetables in containers

Some types are more suitable than others but it’s still possible to enjoy some homegrown produce By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

here’s nothing like the taste of homegrown vegetables picked fresh right from your own garden minutes before they are consumed. People who can no longer manage a garden or who have moved into accommodations that do not provide garden space can still grow some vegetables by using containers. Certain vegetables are better for this than others. The extensiveness of the root system, how much top growth is produced, and yield per plant must all be taken into consideration. Corn, pumpkins and squash — even summer squash such as zucchini — and members of the brassica family, such as cabbage and cauliflower, may not be good candidates to be grown in containers; they simply demand too much space. Choose plants that don’t grow very large and that produce a fair bit of produce per plant. Peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and green beans are good choices (the last two because they can be grown vertically). Strong lattices or supports can be installed in a container and the cucumbers and beans will grow upward, reducing the space they take up. Some root vegetables can also be grown in containers, such as radish, baby car-

rots, and onions (particularly multipliers and shallots). Salad greens are ideal container plants. They are fast growing and several crops can be produced in a single growing season. Lettuce — including the mesclun mixes — and kale will grow well and also herbs like cilantro, parsley, dill and basil. Fast-growing herbs such as dill and basil can be reseeded a couple of times as older plants are consumed or deteriorate from having their foliage continuously harvested. There are a few tricks to growing vegetables successfully in containers. Most important is the choice of container and planting medium. Choose large containers with good drainage. Terra cotta pots tend to dry out more quickly than plastic or fibreglass ones and most vegetables have a low tolerance for dry soil. The larger the container the less often the plants will have to be watered and the more room the roots will have to spread out collecting nutrients from the soil — producing more luxurious growth. The planting medium should have enough humus to keep the soil from becoming compacted. A good soilless mix will work but could be supplemented with a few handfuls of goodquality compost to make it less “fluffy” and more substantial. Adding a slowrelease fertilizer will do away with the need to constantly fertilize the vegeta-

bles. Alternately a couple of times a week when the plants are watered, a soluble plant food can be added to the water. Most vegetables require lots of sun. Leaf vegetables such as lettuce will tolerate a bit of shade but peppers, tomatoes, most herbs, and cucumbers will not produce to maximum without being in full sun. Hot-weather vegetables like tomatoes and peppers would benefit from being located against a south wall or in

a similar microclimate where heat units are highest. Plants that require support should be provided with some sort of trellis and fastened to the support as they develop. They will suffer if they are allowed to sprawl for a period of time and then are gathered up and tied to a stake. Stems of some plants, such as cucumbers, can be easily damaged. Space in a container is limited, so although plants that require support should be given this treatment, yield from a container can be increased by allowing the plants at the edge of the container to tumble over the edge of the pot. This works well for tomatoes. I grow an early tomato called “Tumbler” and plant three plants around the outside of a 16-inch pot and allow them to hang down over the edge. The plant located in the middle of the pot is supported with a sturdy stake and kept securely fastened as it grows. Plants grown in containers can develop the same insect and disease problems as plants grown in the ground, with the exception of soil-borne diseases which are minimized. Being vigilant to catch any outbreak in the bud and taking immediate action will ensure that your containers of vegetables remain healthy and productive during the entire growing season.

Closeness of families spurs on interest in rodeo Hartney teenager says cowgirl lifestyle is everything to love

Reena answers more questions Plus, some household tips of the week reEna nerbas Household Solutions

nspired by Rachelle Boyes, who not only excelled at high school rodeo but also at professional barrel racing aboard her horse Chico, it wasn’t hard for a fellow Deleau family to get interested in rodeo. “Growing up close to Rachelle it wasn’t hard to fall in love with riding and of course, barrel racing,” said Kally Bodin, a Grade 9 student at Hartney Collegiate. “Another great rodeo person I look up to is Sherri Ross of Elkhorn. Both of them encourage efforts, and assist wherever needed.” Parents Robyn and Kari Bodin bought the family’s first horse — a Welsh pony — for their daughter at the age of five, with larger mounts being added. It was a natural thing to do for Robyn, who was born and raised on a cattle farm in the southwestern region of Manitoba, where horses were regularly used and the cowboy life was lived. This way of life was passed on to his children. Kally remembers watching her brother Reiden compete, and dreaming of the day she could join as a Grade 6 junior high member. “Reiden was the Canadian champion for chute doggin’ in the summer of 2010 with the finals held in Virden,” said Kally. “Today, he is among the alumni, who have their parents to thank for backing our rodeo endeavours.” With close to four complete years, Kally presently competes in four of five events of which females are eligible to compete in. To her, she has no one favourite, but says breakaway roping is a little higher in the standings than barrel racing, pole bending and goat tying. Timed events take a team — a horse and rider — and for this MHSRA member, she says that Lucy, her quarter-horse, loves her job, so it makes her task much easier to accomplish. Heading into the second half of the 2016-17 rodeo season, Kally sits within the top 10 in the HS Girls All Around standings, and third in breakaway roping. Overall results can be found at www.mhsra.ca.

“Competition in the Cinch Division of the MHSRA plays an important role in my life… I love what I do,” said Kally. “Being around horses teaches responsibility and it takes hard work to reach one’s goals.” Earning the Rookie of the Year Runner-Up title in 2013-14, Kally says this about the sport: “In the arena we are all there to compete and do our best, but outside of the arena we are best of friends. I love everything about rodeo life, as it is making myself a better person. Rodeo friendships and the many lessons I have learned are a very important part of my future.” Kally has also enjoyed four years with the Horses R Us 4-H Club, prior to joining the MHSRA. School sports include volleyball, basketball and curling, and she also does figure and synchronized skating. Known for her sportsmanship, Kally plans on furthering her education in equine science after graduation, at a rodeo college out west. Darrell Nesbitt writes from Shoal Lake, Manitoba

Dear Gail, Into a mixing bowl combine: 3 tbsp. dish soap, 2 tbsp. white vinegar and 1/2 cup water. Beat until foamy. Using a white cloth, wipe the rust stains with the foam. Cover the area with plastic wrap and place a heavy book on top. Leave for 12 hours, give it one more scrub and air-dry. Or scrub the rust with Head and Shoulders dandruff shampoo or shaving cream, and rinse with water. Dear Reena, What is the fastest way to peel a kiwi? — Leon Dear Leon, Here are two great tricks for p e e l i n g k i w i f a s t ! Sl i c e a half-inch off of both ends of the kiwi. Insert a tablespoon inside the kiwi between the flesh and the fruit. With the concave side facing the peel, move the spoon around the kiwi to loosen the fruit. Let the kiwi drop out of its peel. An even faster option is to slice the kiwi in half lengthwise. Using a glass cup, hold the bottom of the kiwi onto the edge of the cup (the fruit should be facing inward). Push the fruit downward and use the edge of the cup to force the kiwi to slide off of its peel and into the glass!

Dear Reena, I would like to make a static ball. Sometimes you call it a “wool” static ball. Does that mean you must use wool and not yarn? — Faye Dear Faye, You can use either 100 per cent wool or wool yarn to make felted dryer balls. These are great because they reduce drying time, soften clothes and reduce static cling. Wrap wool or wool yarn tightly to make a ball, a little larger than a pool table ball. Tuck the loose strand inside ball. Fill a sink with hot water and dish soap. Soak the ball in water and remove. Cover the ball with a thin layer of your favourite laundry detergent. Wash the ball and rinse with water. Allow wool to dry. To add fragrance to dryer balls, add a few drops of your favourite essential oils to wool balls. Put five or more dryer balls in your dryer at the same time. Another option is to make several tight balls of wool. Place all the balls inside a pair of pantyhose. Use rubber bands to secure and separate each ball in place. Wash the nylons (which now look like a caterpillar) in the washing machine and toss in the dryer. They are now felted. Separate and use.

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 interested in hearing all sorts of experiences about the elevators — funny, sad, or anything in between. Readers willing to share their stories can leave messages at 204-474-7469.

A steel-reinforced concrete grain elevator in Swan River, the first such structure in Western Canada, was constructed for Searle Grain by the Gertz Construction Company of Winnipeg. It replaced an earlier wooden elevator. Standing 130 feet high, its 31 bins provided a total capacity of 100,000 bushels. The elevator opened officially on November 29, 1961. Repainted in 1966 following the merger of Searle with Federal Grain, it was painted again six years later when it was purchased by Manitoba Pool, becoming its fourth elevator at this point. Major renovations were made between 1975 and 1976, and a 24-bin wooden crib annex built in 1950, formerly attached to the Pool A, was moved beside it in 1982. The entire complex was demolished sometime between 2006 and 2013. Does anyone know the exact year? Source: Bernie Freeman (May 2007)

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