et ready, beef producers, you’ll soon see yourself on a Jumbotron near you. Alberta Beef Producers unveiled a new marketing campaign and new marketing and education manager Brad Dubeau at its semi-annual meeting.

hile farmers have been waiting impatiently for equipment designers to commercialize the driverless tractor, Prairie inventor and entrepreneur Norbert Beaujot has found a way to ditch the tractor altogether. And he’s rolling it out for the first time in July 18 to 20 at Ag in Motion (AIM), Western Canada’s outdoor farm show now in its third season. “Everyone else is working on adapting the tractor technology to be autonomous, where this takes a grassroots look at it and says, why do we need a tractor?” says Beaujot, president and founder of SeedMaster, which has been developing the concept over the past three years through sister company Dot Technology Corp. Not only does the DOT autonomous field implement platform eliminate the need for the hefty drawing power of a four-wheeldrive tractor, it eliminates axles, wheels and hitches on most field implements by essentially turning them into self-propelled units. “The main reason I wanted to avoid having a tractor is if you take a 500-horsepower tractor and you drive it through the field, between 20 per cent and a third of its power requirement is to move itself. It has to have all the weights on it for the traction to pull whatever is behind,” Beaujot said in a recent interview. “In this case, the weight of the implement and weight of the grain, or seed or fertilizer — whatever you put into it — satisfies the traction requirement.”

SeedMaster’s Norbert Beaujot sees DOT technology as one solution to a shortage of skilled operators. Photo: Michael Raine It takes only seconds for the U-shaped ‘prime mover’ operating on four independent hydrostatic wheels to sidle up to a specially designed implement such as seeder, sprayer or grain cart and hydraulically lift it onto its platform. By carrying the implement instead of pulling it, it provides the same mobility — while being ‘driven’ remotely. Beaujot says it potentially reduces the capital costs farmers have tied up in equipment, in addition to offering double-digit cuts in the cost of fuel and labour.

“I suspect that we would be looking at a 20 to 30 per cent saving per foot of implement,” he said. The autonomous platform can be controlled by a remote operator or programmed through GPS with a ‘flight plan’ for the field or part of the field. The unit shuts itself off if it deviates from its programmed path or if it encounters obstacles. The operator can monitor and adjust the programming for several units operating simultaneously through a mobile device.

Strong meat demand spells bright future for goat industry Demand is far outstripping supply for Canadian goat meat — and enterprising producers can capitalize on this trend

Agri-News

While the rate of increase appears to be slowing, average farmland values in Alberta continue to rise. “Farmland values rose rapidly in the 1970s but were met with a substantial decline in the 1980s,” says Aaron Lawson, program assistant, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF). “For the most part, prices recovered by the mid-’90s, and farmland as an asset class has performed well ever since. Average farmland values across the province in 2016 were over $2,500 per acre. It’s been a strong run when you consider that the last major peak in 1982, prices topped out around $470 per acre.” According to Farm Credit Canada, the national rate of growth in farmland values in 2016 was 7.9 per cent. P.E.I. had the highest rate of growth followed by Alberta at 9.5 per cent. “The higher-valued land is generally along the Edmonton to Calgary corridor and into southern Alberta,” says Lawson. “Counties such as Taber and Lethbridge held the highest average farmland values in 2016, reaching over $5,800 per acre. One of the main reasons for this is that these areas are mostly in the black soil zone. More productive soil can be higher valued. There are other spatial factors that influence the value of farmland as well, such as proximity to city centres and main thoroughfares as well as access to irrigation.” Lawson says that market factors have a major impact on farmland values. “We sometimes overlook the most obvious things. Simple supply and demand plays a large role in determining the price of an item in the marketplace. There’s only so much land in Alberta and the supply of farmland available for sale each year is limited, as indicated by our data on number of acres transferred. Less supply often means more upward pressure on prices. Lawson says the per-acre revenuegenerating potential is also an important driver of farmland values. “The decision to purchase land is often a strategic one. Producers may be expecting stronger commodity prices in the future. On the other hand, they might be trying to scale their land base to their equipment, or purchase land close to their existing holdings where they might be able to farm at a lower cost. “Interest rates have also had an impact on farmland values. Interest rates have been generally declining since the 1980s making land purchases more attractive and potentially more feasible for producers.”

hen Myrna Gisler moved back to the family farm near Innisfail, her parents decided it was time to branch out into something a little different — ostriches. That lasted all of two weeks. “I didn’t want a thing to do with them,” said Gisler with a laugh. “Those things are evil. They’re miserable creatures. I said, ‘Either they go or I go, because one of us will end up dead.’” Luckily, another new type of livestock was gaining a foothold in Alberta at the time, and this one turned out to be decidedly less miserable for the Gislers. Boer goats. “I love them. They’re my babies,” said Gisler, who had 150 at one time but is now down to a more manageable 40. “That’s a good number for me just to keep active.” And while Gisler loves her animals, they’re not pets, but rather part of a small but growing goat industry in Canada. “In North America, most people aren’t too familiar with goat meat, but outside of that, it’s extremely popular with the rest of the world,” said Gisler, adding that roughly 75 per cent of the world’s population eats goat meat. Gisler mainly sells her animals as breeding stock, but her lesser-quality animals go into the growing market for goat meat. But as a small industry — there are only about 6,000 goat farms raising 225,000 goats across Canada and slaughtering only about 57,000 head of that — marketing has proven to be a challenge. “When BSE hit, they closed everything. They opened it for the beef, but they didn’t worry about it for the goats,” said Gisler. “We’re still fighting our way back into the export market. We’re not a high priority.” That’s “frustrating” for goat producers like Gisler, who are trying to supply a growing population of immigrants who grew up on goat meat. “There are so many people coming into Canada who want quality goat meat, but 90 per cent of the goat meat that’s consumed in Canada is imported from Australia,” said Gisler. “If people can get good-quality meat that hasn’t been frozen for six months, they’re really eager to do that.”

Growing immigrant populations mean that demand for Canadian goat meat is on the rise. PHOTOs: Jennifer Blair

“If people can get goodquality meat that hasn’t been frozen for six months, they’re really eager to do that.” Myrna Gisler

In Canada, growing Filipino, Muslim, and Jamaican communities are “always looking for product,” and while Gisler works with Sungold Specialty Meats in Innisfail, new abattoirs catering to those communities have popped up in Edmonton and Calgary. “We don’t have the numbers to export. There’s so much demand that there’s no way we can possibly meet it,” said Gisler, adding that goat meat and milk are also becoming popular with “the health conscious.” “The market is there, and there’s definitely room to grow.” And it’s proving to be profitable for producers as well — so much so that

Myrna Gisler has seen significant growth in Canada’s goat industry over the past 20 years. some cattle producers are adding Boer goats to their operations to complement their cattle herds. “When I first started in goats, if you got 50 cents a pound live, you were doing great. At Easter, it was about $3.50 a pound live,” said Gisler. “I can’t see any other industry that has grown like that in the last 20 years. Growth has been steady all along.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Hop in: Growing craft brewery market drives demand for local hops The startup costs are significant, but demand for Alberta-grown hops is growing fast, and there’s money to be made for enterprising producers BY JENNIFER BLAIR AF staff

visit to an old grape orchard in the heart of B.C. wine country last summer has inspired two southern Alberta producers to try their hands at a different kind of viny crop — hops. “That was really the seed that started it all,” said Randy Adams, who owns and operates Pair O’ Dice Hops with his brother-in-law Spencer Peterson. “It immediately struck a chord as something that’s completely viable in Alberta — especially in southern Alberta with the climate and access to irrigation. “And the more you read about it and talk to brewers, the more compelling the story becomes.” The pair began their foray into hops — the buds of a vine-like plant that add flavour to beer — last fall when they planted a test plot of 100 plants on Peterson’s acreage near Vauxhall. Neither were farmers before planting those first test plants, but both come from fifth-generation farming families. With Peterson’s 20 years of agriculture experience and Adams’ business and marketing expertise, they figured they could make a go of it. So far, they’re right. “We’ve had pretty good success and fantastic feedback from local brewers,” said Adams. “We went ahead this spring and planted an additional 1,000 hop plants on one acre. Things are going along pretty well.” And that’s good news for the duo, who has invested $15,000 so far in getting the operation up and running. But they see the “massive opportunity” for local hops that has come with the recent boom in craft breweries across the province. Right now, there are 59 small breweries operating in Alberta, with “at least that many more in the planning stages,” said Adams. Those breweries need more than 100,000 pounds of hops per year, and that number is “growing exponentially.” “All of those brewers have to import their hops from Washington, Oregon, or Idaho, where the bulk of worldwide hop production is — but you lose any sort of semblance to local as soon as you go that far away,” said Adams. “All the brewers that we talk to have really identified with the idea of local, and a couple have made a firm commitment already to take our hops and want to partner with us in an ongoing way.” And with a price premium that is 10 to 15 per cent above open market prices (last year’s average price in the U.S. was $5.72 a pound), producing for the craft brewery market is proving to be profitable for local hops growers. “There are some advantages to buying local, as well as profitability for selling local.”

A costly venture

It’s a good thing too — the startup costs were “fairly significant” for the pair. “To put an acre of hops in, just for the trellis and irrigation and plants, is roughly $15,000 an acre, which is only a small portion of

Brothers-in-law Spencer Peterson (l), and Randy Adams have started small with one acre of hops, but they plan to grow up to 10 acres within three years. PHOTOs: Supplied the total capital requirements to be in the hops business,” said Adams. A large part of the costs were the trellis system they had to install — a series of 38 telephone poles, each topping out at over 18 feet to accommodate the 18- to 20-foot vertical growth of the plants. “They need something to climb on, so there’s a system of poles and cables above the hop yard trellis, and then we use heavy coconut twine from each of the cables down to each plant as the mechanism they use to climb,” said Adams. The plants themselves are $5 to $15 per plant, depending on whether you purchase an established plant in a pot (which runs $10 to $15 per plant) or a root crown called a rhizome (around $5 a rhizome), which is what the pair did. Right now, the most popular hops varieties are Cascade and Centennial, which make up most of their planting, but they also have 11 other varieties — “some that are proven in our climate, some that are really experimental.” “It’s a fairly significant part of the overall costs, but that $15,000 an acre would be inclusive of the plants to get started,” said Adams. Hops will naturally propagate themselves, so after the initial startup costs for the plants, growers are able to grow their own. “Next year, we’ll be in a position to cut our own rhizomes from our own plants and then continue to expand our hop production.” After planting, it’s roughly $1,500 an acre to fertilize the crops, as hops are “fairly nitrogen intensive.” “We haven’t applied fertilizer this year, but next year and going forward, we’ll supplement with fertilizer based on soil test results,” he said.

Growth potential

“I suspect most will be scared off by the capital costs, but those who can see through that will see there’s a great opportunity here.” Randy Adams

Hops are a relatively new crop type for Alberta, but so far, they seem well suited to southern Alberta’s growing conditions. Harvest and processing

Then it takes about three years for hops to “ramp up” to the plants’ full yield potential. “A typical acre would produce about 1,200 to 1,500 pounds of dried hops. This year, we’re expecting somewhere in the area of 300 to 500 pounds of dried hops.” There’s also “significant capital requirement” to purchase harvesting and drying equipment for the hops, and then to process and pelletize the hops into a format that the brewers can use. “The $15,000 an acre to get started is just to start growing the plants,” said Adams. “It’s likely in the area of another $200,000 required to get basic harvest and processing capabilities in place.” Harvesting by hand is a timeconsuming and labour-intensive process, with a rate of one plant per person per hour. “We’ve got roughly 1,100 plants, and 1,100 hours is just

not viable,” said Adams. “Even at the smallest scales, you need some mechanization. This year, because the plants are still emerging and new, we expect that we’re going to build something homemade to strip the cones and leaves from the plants. “By doing that, we expect we can improve that number to 10 plants per person per hour to bring our number of hours down.” Down the road, the duo will be looking at commercial hop harvesters, which range from about $20,000 to $60,000. And once the hops are harvested, they have to be dried down to about eight to 10 per cent moisture and then pelletized so that they can be used by brewers. “The vast majority of brewers will only use pelletized hops, but there are many who can use unpelletized hops, and for this year, that’s our primary market,” said Adams. “We were going to experiment with pelletizing this year, but there’s likely a large capital investment that’s required to get all of the components in place. That will be a next-year project for our full production.”

But even with all the upfront costs, the pair believes they’ll recoup their initial investment by next year. “As we work on our business plan for the full complement of harvesting and processing equipment, we think that if we’re doing 10 acres, within two years we can hit a breakeven point and we’ll be cash positive beyond the second year.” The first year has really been a “proof of concept” to make sure that the crop is viable in Alberta and that the market demand is there. And so far, their first growing season is bearing both those things out. “The crop is completely viable here — there’s growers as far north as Edmonton producing crops that are equal in quality and yield as what we’re seeing out of the United States,” said Adams. “From a market growth perspective, there’s been tremendously positive feedback from brewers. With 59 brewers today, we probably can’t supply all of the hops for one brewery.” That means there’s plenty of room to grow Alberta’s hops production. In February, Adams and Peterson formed the Alberta Hop Producers Association, and so far, the association has about nine members — all but one in their first production season and none larger than one acre. But with another dozen producers expressing interest, the local hops industry is “coming along.” “People see the boom in the Alberta beer market, and they’re looking for opportunities to get involved,” said Adams. “I suspect most will be scared off by the capital costs, but those who can see through that will see there’s a great opportunity here.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

he recent images from poultry operations in B.C.’s Fraser Valley are fresh in the minds of many Canadians. That’s not good news for the livestock sector. What they’ve revealed is unflattering, shocking and immoral. Contract ‘chicken catchers’ were caught on video stomping on birds, simulating sex acts on them and ripping limbs from living animals. It’s true these individuals weren’t farmers themselves, and weren’t even directly employed by farmers. Nonetheless, their actions are now firmly ingrained in the minds of many with livestock operations. Mercy for Animals, the activist group behind the video, is surely happy with that development. Six people have subsequently lost their jobs, including the supervisor who should have prevented these actions. That’s a good start, but what really needs to happen is for the industry to understand the new rules it’s now operating under. These aren’t the formal rules of government. They’re the unwritten rules of societal expectation and self-preservation and the new reality that information is now all but impossible to withhold.

achs, though they’d no doubt prefer not to dwell on that either. It’s the casual and needless cruelty they find objectionable. Until recently, the livestock sector has been able to relax, knowing that most people love meat and there weren’t any meaningful alternatives. That appears set to change, however, as major agriculture companies have begun to pump serious money into alternative protein production systems like plant-based ‘meats’ and even laboratory-grown meat. It will no doubt take time for the products to be perfected and the processes scaled up to become economical. But that’s just a question of time and investment. Livestock producers have also long thought the ‘yuck factor’ would prevent adoption of meat alternatives, especially of the test-tube variety. That only works if their own products don’t have a similar association in the minds of many. It would be interesting to know how many Canadian consumers went to the store the day after they saw that video, looked at the cooler case full of chicken and thought “yuck.” Protecting this market means preventing that association. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Barn operators also can’t simply seal their operations off to outsiders. They’re always going to need tradespeople, service providers and labourers to enter the buildings. Any one of them may be there to plant a camera. And the nature of some of the work means help will always be hard to find and often the first warm body willing to do it will be hired. That means barn operators need to act like there’s a camera in the corner of the barn at all times. They should also consider employing this technology to monitor animal welfare standards. Elite Services, the company at the centre of this particular scandal, says that’s its plan. It’s pledged to equip at least some of its staff with body cameras, much like those worn by many police officers. It’s true that at least some of the animal rights activists who engage in this sort of activity hold a world view that wants to see animal agriculture disappear entirely. But they’ll likely never be large enough in numbers to ever cause that to happen. The real risk is in the less committed middle ground. These are people who enjoy animal protein and want to continue to consume it. But they’re not comfortable with some of the things they’ve heard, and they’ll be really uncomfortable if they see it. It’s not the idea of chickens being caught and caged for slaughter that turns their stom-

In an era of near-unfettered communication you can’t hide anything from the public, no matter how hard you try. Take the example of the U.S. government, an organization few would argue doesn’t take information security seriously. In the past few years a slow drip of leaks has turned to a steady flow as one classified document after another has hit the Internet: Wikileaks, Edward Snowden, the release of secret documents and videos from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq — the list goes on and on. If the U.S. Army and the U.S. State Department can’t keep a secret, what chance does a chicken or hog producer stand? Doubly so with the explosion in cheap and readily available surveillance technology. These days you can buy a hightech, low-light security camera on Amazon for $28 that would be impossible to find with anything short of a strip search of everyone entering a barn and can be hidden nearly anywhere. The size of a couple of matchbooks stacked on each other, it can capture high-resolution video for hours on a tiny card the size of a fingernail and operate for days on a single charge. Just a few more dollars can get you a camera that has similar capacities but is disguised as anything from a fire alarm to a USB charger.

hen Canadian, American and Mexican agriculture ministers got together last month in Savannah, Georgia, they weren’t there to discuss what U.S. President Donald Trump has described as “worst trade deal in the history of the world.” On the contrary, they talked about the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as though it was about the greatest thing since sliced bread. “It was stated quite clearly at the meeting that we don’t want to fix something that’s not broken,” Canada’s Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Lawrence MacAulay told reporters following his meetings with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and Mexican Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food José Calzada. Nor was MacAulay interested in enlightening reporters about the apparent disconnect between Trump’s posturing and how they see the deal. “It’s fair to say, we didn’t dis-

cuss our bosses at all really,” he said. “We sat down to discuss the issues and the great value of NAFTA and what small changes might be made in order to make sure the great growth that has been experienced over the past 23 years or so is continued.” Reporters asked, “what issues?” MacAulay hedged, saying there are always “irritants” but nothing worth fighting over. “It’s well understood with the North American ministers and secretaries that NAFTA has been a very valuable asset to the three countries and what we wish to do is make sure it continues in that manner,” he said. “In fact yesterday (June 20) was a very collaborative effort on the part of all three countries. There was no specifics as to what will be on the table or not on the table.” MacAulay pointed out that agricultural trade between the NAFTA partners has quadrupled since the deal came into effect in 1994. More than half of Canada’s $62.5-billion agricultural and food exports goes to its NAFTA partners. Economists Al Mussell and Doug Hedley at the University of Guelph’s Agri-Food Economic

Systems division recently analyzed the agricultural trade patterns among NAFTA partners. They found that Canada is the leading source of foreign bulk material for agri-food processing in the U.S., to the tune of US$1.67 billion annually. Canada is also the leading imported source of intermediate product for agri-food processing, a market of about US$6.5 billion annually. Canada is the leading foreign market for consumer-oriented food products produced in the U.S., selling goods worth US$16.2 million in 2016. Mexico is the second largest at US$8 billion. In other words, Canada ships commodities such as wheat, oats, hogs, and cattle to the U.S. and buys the processed goods back, which gives lie to Trump’s assertion that NAFTA has been bad for manufacturing jobs in his country. However, Canada’s exports have also been the source of some of the major “irritants” in the past because they are perceived by grassroots farm organizations in the U.S. as either stealing or depressing domestic markets. The cattle farmers’ group

R-CALF is suing the U.S. government to have country-of-origin labelling laws reintroduced. But that’s not even covered under NAFTA. Canada and Mexico had successfully challenged that law at the World Trade Organization. Likewise, even though Trump has identified Canada’s supply management dairy policies as an issue up for negotiation, that’s not covered by NAFTA either. The one thing MacAulay was specific about was that it’s not going to be either. “We have indicated quite clearly that we are the party that fought to put supply management in place and we’re the government that’s going to defend it. That’s pretty well known across North America,” he said. When asked what agricultural trade agenda Canada will pursue when negotiators do start reviewing the agreement, MacAulay said that will be for others to decide. “I can’t speak for what Americans are going to do and negotiators are going to do. We’ll have to see how the table is set,” he said. “We’re just waitin’ and seein’.” From the sounds of it, all three ministers are waiting and seeing — and hoping it all goes away.

Innovation with the most unlikely material shows all is possible Human waste has always been a problem, but it is increasingly seen as a resource and that’s spurring the creation of new technologies By BRENDA SCHOEPP AF columnist

still spend a lot of time in airports and love to use that time to read interesting stories on people, places, politics, science, and technology. It brings to light all that is possible in our world. A little writeup caught my eye in regards to human waste which is a growing problem. In many countries in which I have travelled, waste is abundant and in open sewers that run past food stalls, homes and schools. Yet governments in developed and developing countries have the opportunity to invest in technology or infrastructure to start addressing the human waste dilemma and implement solutions. New technology has been introduced that converts human waste into fuel through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) or as we know it in laymen’s terms, pressure cooking. The process has been used before on other biomass such

as food waste, which fuels city trucks in urban areas such as Calgary, and in methane capture, which is used as a fuel in Edmonton. For the purpose of our discussion today, the biomass is human waste turned into crude oil and then processed into other fuels such as jet fuel, gas, or diesel fuel. It is a proven technology and process but, until this decade, very few governments wanted to dirty their hands in converting human waste. Metro Vancouver will install the first human sewage HTL plant in Canada as part of its sustainability effort. The process subjects raw human sewage to pressures of 3,000 psi before cooking at 660 F. The city will incorporate the HTL technology as it moves toward zero waste, zero odour (which has been accomplished in Europe), and zero residue. The city views the technology as a cost saving as there will be a massive decrease in waste water treatment. Human waste is already

used, in part, in Grand Junction, Colorado to create biomethane, also known as renewable natural gas. This fuels the city’s fleet of 40 service trucks. A success story also comes out of Kenya where the city of Nairobi was fighting with the ‘flying toilet’ problem of human waste thrown out of the window in a bag because of the lack of facilities for the 2.4 million persons living in slums. A non-profit began by creating a “bio centre” in the slum of Kibera — a building with public toilets and disposal facilities for human waste with a biodigester that produces biogas to be used for heat and power. South Korea has developed a waterless toilet that uses waste as fuel. It is also tied to a phone app. This will determine a value to waste and your contribution can be traded for real or digital currency. (Wouldn’t this make an interesting social experiment model for equal distribution of government funds?) The way I see it, this sort of

technology is really taking an abundant resource and creating fuel that takes thousands of years to produce in nature. Is this our newest disruptive technology? How do we protect it going forward so it is not buried by resource industries? Will it be enough and how will we offset potential economic impacts? There is more to manure than meets the eye (and nose). Jalila Essaïdi is a Dutch designer from Eindhoven who has taken cow manure and made beautiful fabrics. The material, which she named Mestic, incorporates cow manure to create a degradable bioplastic. It is soft, flowing material and very strong. (Watch a pair of YouTube videos at www.youtube. com by searching for ‘mestic dress’ and ‘mestic.’) The global Swedish retailer H&M will start carrying the manurebased clothes and also has an interest in clothes made from grape skin leather. (We had explored grape skin flour in an earlier column.)

Manure has many applications and as a base for bioplastic can be adjusted from super strong to quickly biodegradable. It has become a design superstar and made appearances in Milan from furniture to flooring. Manure and waste have long been used for fertilizer, energy, and fuel, but the refinement in technologies allows societies to address two very pressing issues: handling human waste and the expense of fossil fuels. How we transport our newfound fuel is still an infrastructure challenge, but the fact that we can use both human and animal waste for multiple purposes is encouraging. Essaïdi says “manure is gold” and with the new technologies of the day we can start to imagine all that is possible.

Conflict, drought, push 81 million into food aid The UN says it has so far received only a quarter of the $23.5 billion needed for humanitarian assistance programs BY UMBERTO BACCHI / ROME

People in 45 countries are unable to feed themselves, said the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), which issues alarms about food shortages to the U.S. government.

Thomson Reuters Foundation

rolonged conflicts and droughts have left an unprecedented 81 million people needing food aid in 2017, a specialist U.S.-based agency said June 21, revising up its earlier estimates. People in 45 countries are unable to feed themselves, said the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), which issues alarms about food shortages to the U.S. government. Furthermore, it said there is still a risk of famine looming over Somalia, Yemen, Nigeria, and South Sudan, despite the international community committing about $2.2 billion to address the various crises since January. “Additional contributions to emergency appeals, particularly in these four countries, are urgently needed to prevent large-scale loss of life,” FEWS NET said in a statement. The United Nations says it has so far received only a quarter of the $23.5 billion needed for humanitarian assistance programs worldwide this year. “However, famine risk will not fully recede until substantive efforts are made to resolve ongoing conflict and improve access,” FEWS NET added. The agency said it had increased the number of people it expects to need emergency food aid over the course of 2017. Its estimate rose to 81 million from the

This map from FEWS NET shows current and potential areas in need of food aid assistance this year. 70 million it predicted in January, due to a series of factors, including below-average rainfall in the Horn of Africa. The new estimate was up 20 per cent on last year and 70 per cent on 2015, it said. Other causes included access to new data, continuing wars and outbreaks of cholera in Somalia, Yemen and South Sudan. Separately on June 21, the head of the

International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) said the situation in the three countries was “rapidly escalating downwards and out of control.” “Without treatment for malnutrition, more people will fall ill. And a child who survives cholera will be even further malnourished,” IFRC Secretary General Elhadj As Sy said in a statement.

“It is the most vicious of vicious spirals,” he added. Earlier, a UN-backed report said conflict-ridden South Sudan was no longer classified as being in famine although the situation remained critical. In Yemen, war has killed more than 10,000 people, displaced more than three million others and ruined much of the impoverished country’s infrastructure, pushing nearly half its provinces on the verge of famine, according to the UN. In Nigeria, some 1.5 million people are on the brink of starvation in the northeast regions, hit by an eight-year insurgency by Boko Haram Islamists. In Somalia, more than three million people do not have enough to eat as the country suffers the effects of repeated rain failures and decades of conflict.

no tractor } from page 1 The unit is powered by a 160-hp Cummins diesel engine, which Beaujot said is more than adequate for operating a 30-foot seeder at speeds up to six m.p.h. The company plans to conduct field tests throughout 2017 and make the first units available to a select number of farmers in 2018. Full commercialization will follow. It also plans to make the platform accessible to all implement manufacturers for development of DOT Ready implements.

“The main reason I wanted to avoid having a tractor is if you take a 500-horsepower tractor and you drive it through the field, between 20 per cent and a third of its power requirement is to move itself.”

Better and safer

Beaujot has seen the trends to larger farms continue on the Prairies, which has coincided with fewer experienced operators available to do the work. He said this technology is part of the solution. “I am convinced that if we put side by side any operator and a machine like this that is properly set up and you run them both for 17 hours, like farmers try to do at seeding time, that it will not only operate better and safer, but it will do a better job.” The DOT autonomous field implement platform will be featured in live demonstrations at 2:45 p.m. daily at the AIM show site located 15 minutes north of Saskatoon on Highway 16. It’s just one of many new innovations and hundreds of exhibits at this 325-acre site showcasing new developments in crop or livestock technology, equipment and agribusiness services.

Other innovations at AIM

Other new innovations being launched include: • Michelin North America’s EvoBIB tire, a ‘two in one tire’ that adapts its profile and footprint according the farmer’s requirements. At ultra-low pressures, the contact patch increases to reduce soil compaction, while enabling the power transmission to be increased. At higher pressures, the tire transforms so that only the central continuous band grips the road, giving a smoother vibration-free ride, fuel savings and improved safety.

• Farmers Edge will showcase its FarmCommand Scouting system — an appbased tool for monitoring and addressing field conditions. It is the first mobile scouting app that’s integrated with the FarmCommand, giving growers an integrated and seamless experience. It is also launching Corn Manager and its NextGen FarmCommand farm management tool. • In the livestock sector, there is Libra TMR by AgriMatics, a tablet-based livestock ration weighing and data management system. It measures the exact weight of ingredients going into a feed mixer, tracks and measures what has been fed to each pen and allows users to export data from the app through email. • Northern Strands Co. Inc. is launching its Grain Bin Fall Protection system, which is designed to protect a worker from a fall while inspecting or repairing a bin. • P olyWest will introduce Safe-Fill, designed to prevent cross-contamination between water fill stations and the user’s tank. • A groliquid is releasing the Flavanol Polymer Technology, which is designed to optimize a grower’s fertilizer investments by providing a product that doesn’t tie up in the soils. Virtually all of

DOT approaches the implement, attaches and then heads off to do its job on a pre-programmed ‘flight plan.’ Photos: supplied what is applied is taken up by the plant. An added benefit of this technology is that nutrients are protected and resist the losses that can happen when applied in stressful environments. • D irectSpray Nozzle is introducing an

innovative pressure washer attachment designed to quickly reach where a normal pressure washer nozzle can’t. You can change the nozzle from straight to 45, to 90 degrees on the fly. No tools are needed.

Website identifies your insect friends WGRF works with Prairie Pest Monitoring Network to develop online and social media sites WGRF release

Not all heroes wear capes. That’s the message behind a new communications campaign to increase awareness of some unsung heroes — beneficial insects. Recently launched by Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF), the ‘Field Heroes’ campaign encourages growers and agronomists to consider beneficial insects in crop production recommendations and decisions. “Beneficial insects play a vital pest control role in cropping systems. It’s time to give them more awareness and attention,” explains Pat Flaten, research programmer with WGRF. She notes that the need to promote the importance of beneficial insects was identified at a Prairie Pest Monitoring Network working group meeting. Producers and agronomists have been asking members of the network for more information. Allowing beneficial insects to help control yield-robbing pests is an important part of integrated pest management. Beneficials can reduce spraying, lower cost of production, save time in the field and protect the environment. “Healthy populations of insects like lady beetles, ground beetles, lacewings, damsel bugs, and many parasitoids can often keep crop-feeding insects at insignificant levels,” says entomologist John Gavloski of Manitoba Agriculture. “With good management decisions and the proper environment, this free biocontrol can help maximize the value of a crop.” Beneficial insect photos, scouting techniques and best management practices are available from various sources across Western Canada. WGRF has compiled key information online at www. fieldheroes.ca. A series of print and online ads will also run throughout the 2017 growing season to get the word out. WGRF is asking other stakeholders to get on board and support the beneficial insects awareness campaign by visiting FieldHeroes.ca and following @FieldHeroes on Twitter (like, share and comment) for great agronomic information and timely, relevant content.

beef producerS } from page 1 “The problem for marketing to solve is how to ensure consumer and producer confidence for beef production in Alberta to 2020 and beyond,” said Dubeau, who has been with ABP for six months. Dubeau, who worked for the Canadian Hereford Association before joining ABP, has partnered with WS, a Calgary-based marketing agency. The ABP used research from Canada Beef, Alberta Beef Producers and social listening from WS to determine its marketing messages. Key messages were that beef is perceived as better tasting and more flavourful than other proteins, and that Alberta beef is seen as a quality product. Even though consumers might not trust farming operations, they see producers and ranchers as good, honest, hard-working people. Producers can build a rapport with consumers by sharing values rather than feeding facts. “Once trust is established, facts are more likely to be accepted. Positive conversations about beef versus defending negative comments has seemed to have

a positive impact on sales,” said Dubeau.

Different targets

From the findings, Alberta Beef has determined the primary audience is the “well-intentioned consumer,” who makes up about 40 per cent of the urban population. “We want this crowd to believe that Alberta beef is the best choice for their family,” said Dubeau. The secondary audience is the “beef hedonist,” who makes up approximately 25 per cent of the population. This is followed by the “socially conscientious” and “millennials.” As the campaign progresses, ABP will try to capture the secondary audience. But right now, it’s focusing on the first group. The primary goal is to communicate to consumers that Alberta beef sets the standard. The new marketing campaign is called “All for the Beef,” and it’s meant to highlight the incredible talent of the Alberta beef industry. As of 2017, ABP has already signed contracts with the Calgary Stampeders and the Edmonton Eskimos to run video and digi-

ABP has also signed contracts to appear at the Calgary Stampede. Messages will appear on eight Jumbotrons throughout the park. “The events that take place in the Agrium, that draw the largest consumer or urban audience, Calgary Stampede has agreed to put us in those venues. So again,

we’re going to be hopefully talking to the producer and the consumer at the same time,” said Dubeau. ABP will also have videos along the cattle trail in Stampede Park, has signed with Edmonton’s Northlands, and will be on the Jumbotrons in the Coliseum throughout CFR as well as the rodeo at K-Days this year. “We’re going to be in the Northlands Expo Centre on its TV screens. I think there are about 15-20 TV screens through there. And our presence will run on those screens, basically through the middle of July until the end of November. So, any event that is taking place at the Expo Centre at Northlands Park, people will have the opportunity to see some positive messaging about Alberta Beef,” Dubeau said. Further plans include a campaign landing site that will be linked to the Alberta Beef Producers website. Alberta Beef is also looking into partnerships with the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames, both of which have expressed an interest, as well as teams in the Western Hockey League. akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Machine guns, helicopters, and feral hogs go together in Texas Animal rights activists are appalled and it’s not reducing the herd, but helicopter hunting has really taken off By Michael Hirtzer Reuters

In Texas, pigs don’t fly but the hunters do. Tourists are taking to the skies above Texas to shoot wild hogs as part of the state’s effort to limit the spread of an invasive species that annually causes millions of dollars in damage. For up to US$50,000, people can hunt the feral hogs from a helicopter and even use a machine gun to mow them down. “There’s only so many places in the world you can shoot machine guns out of a helicopter and no one shoots back,” said Chris Britt, co-owner of HeliBacon, one of the companies offering hunts. HeliBacon says its customers alone gunned down about 10,000 feral hogs in the last 18 months, but that barely makes a dent in the Texas population of more than two million. There were 2,752 helicopter hog hunts in Texas last year, up 81 per cent from 2011, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department data. About 34,400 hogs were killed in those hunts. The total U.S. population of the hogs is estimated at more than six million. There are nearly 150 companies and individuals permitted to hunt invasive feral hogs from helicopters as part of the Texas so-called pork chopper bill passed in 2011. State legislators last month sent a bill to Governor Greg Abbott that would allow hog hunting from hot air balloons. Animals rights activists are not fans. “The Humane Society of the United States opposes the use of aerial gunning – whether from a helicopter or a hot air balloon,” said Samantha Hagio, a director at the agency. However, aerial hunting is one of the most effective ways to eradicate hogs in open areas such as Texas fields, said Jack Mayer, manager of environmental sciences at Georgia’s Savannah River Laboratory and author of Wild Pigs in the United States. Even so, hunting and trapping are not keeping up and the feral herd continues to grow.

U.S. blocks imports of Brazilian beef Canada and the EU have also rejected some shipments in recent months BY TOM POLANSEK AND MARCELA AYRES Reuters/Chicago/Brasilia

razil scrambled to shore up its beef industry’s reputation June 23 after the United States blocked shipments of fresh cuts, saying it found abscesses in the meat and signs of systemic failure of inspections in the world’s largest beef exporter. Officials in Canada and the European Union also said they had rejected some shipments of Brazilian beef in recent months. Brazil’s government and meat industry said most problems stemmed from vaccinations and were being addressed. The U.S. Department of Agriculture described repeated import violations involving raw beef from seven Brazilian facilities, indicating a “system-wide problem,” according to a letter seen by Reuters explaining the reason for the ban. While fresh beef shipments

to the United States represent only one per cent of Brazil’s beef exports, the ban there and scrutiny elsewhere threatens to tarnish the country’s powerhouse protein industry, which has suffered a series of recent scandals. “If you look at the financial aspect, it’s important for the country but the bigger damage is to our image,” said Antonio Camardelli, head of Brazilian meat exporters association Abiec. He said USDA approval for Brazil’s fresh beef, which was only granted last year, was expected to open the door to bigger fresh beef importers such as Japan and South Korea. “We worked a long time to open the U.S. market because it’s a passport to other markets,” Camardelli said. Brazil Deputy Agriculture Minister Eumar Novacki said the problems laid out by the USDA posed no risk to public health. Novacki told reporters at a news conference that some cattle had adverse reactions to certain vaccines.

Various issues

Among the violations the USDA detected were abscesses, unidentified foreign material and “ingesta,” which can include any food, drink or medicine that cattle consume. Brazilian beef exports to the United States from companies including Marfrig Global Foods SA and Minerva SA also have been missing shipping marks and had labelling problems on containers, according to USDA data. Novacki recognized there were flaws in Brazil’s inspection system but suggested there could be “commercial motivations” for the U.S. ban. He said U.S. and European authorities had stepped up inspections of Brazilian beef in recent months. Since March, the USDA has rejected 11 per cent of Brazilian fresh beef products, compared to the rejection rate of one per cent for shipments from the rest of the world. The shipments, totalling about 1.9 million pounds, raised concerns about public health, animal health and sanitation, the USDA said.

Camardelli said about 120 containers with some 3,000 tonnes of Brazilian meat currently are at sea headed to the United States. European and Canadian officials also described issues found in inspections of imported Brazilian beef. The EU said it had rejected some shipments of Brazilian beef due to the presence of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. Some Brazilian poultry shipments were refused because of salmonella. Canada has rejected six shipments of Brazilian beef out of 191 meat shipments since April 10, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. The Canadian agency said it recently blocked imports from one JBS SA plant in Brazil that did not meet food safety requirements, but is accepting meat from plants that meet its standards. Novacki said Brazil was working with European officials to allay concerns and declined to comment on issues in Canada.

An Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) water specialist has a warning about the dangers of blue-green algae. “Blue-green algae is actually cyanobacteria, and can produce toxins that can be very dangerous,” says Shawn Elgert, agricultural water engineer, Barrhead. Elgert says the first and most important step is to identify the type of growth. “Blue-green algae can look like blue-green scum, pea soup or grass clippings suspended in the water. You should start watching for it when the temperatures increase.” If blue-green algae is suspected in a dugout, it is best to be cautious, says Elgert. “You should contact a water specialist to diagnose the growth to determine if it is potentially a toxic growth. You should also remove your livestock from the water source in the interim and prevent them from accessing it. One rule of thumb is that if you can grab it as a solid mass in your hand that is not bluegreen algae.” If blue-green algae is present, the dugout can be treated using a copper product registered for use in farm dugouts. “Once you treat it, consumption should be restricted for up to a month. The use of copper will break the cells open and release the toxins, if present, into the water all at once, so it’s important that you stop using the water during this time so the toxins can degrade. You can follow up with aluminum sulphate and/or hydrated lime treatments afterwards to remove the nutrients from the water to prevent regrowth.” Elgert says there are also preventive measures that can be taken to try to avoid the problem.

Most EU crops seen lower

Egypt ergot row erupts again

European Union crop-monitoring service MARS lowered its 2017 yield forecasts for most crops June 26. In France, the EU’s largest grain producer, a dry May and hot June resulted in unfavourable conditions, and dry weather also affected crops in Spain, western Germany and Poland, MARS said. It now sees the average EU soft wheat yield at 5.86 tonnes per hectare (88 bushels per acre), down from 6.05 t/ha forecast in April. In contrast, MARS raised its rapeseed yield to 3.22 t/ha from 3.17 t/ha after a sharp cut in May, but this remained below the five-year average. It also cut its outlook for the total barley yield to 4.7 t/ha from 4.76 t/ha.— Reuters

An Egyptian court ruling in June raised the possibility that a new wheat import system could be reversed. The new system allowing an international standard of 0.05 per cent ergot was introduced after imports were stalled because traders said it was impossible to guarantee zero presence of the fungus disease. But an Egyptian court ordered that the new system be suspended, although the government said it would appeal that decision and keep its inspection system in place as it did so. After last year’s trade row, Egypt moved the inspection process away from the quarantine service to the Trade Ministry’s General Organization for Export and Import Control. — Reuters

Canola futures plummet ahead of StatsCan report Traders’ acreage estimates lean toward bearish levels By Phil Franz-Warkentin

CE Futures Canada canola contracts dropped hard during the week ended June 23, hitting some of their lowest levels in months. The biggest losses were in the new-crop months, with improving crop weather and declines in the U.S. soy complex behind some of the selling pressure. The nearby July contract lagged to the downside, as tightening old-crop supplies provided some support and investors worked to exit the front month ahead of its expiry. The tight old-crop supply situation means that any weather scare for the new crop could spark a rally. However, in the absence of such a catalyst, the trend appears to be pointed lower. Statistics Canada releases updated acreage estimates on Thursday, June 29, while the U.S. Department of Agriculture will put out its own acreage numbers the following day, June 30. Adjustments from the previous estimate are inevitable, but the extent of those adjustments could sway the nearby direction of the futures markets, especially as adverse spring weather in

parts of the Prairies likely left some land unseeded. For canola, trade estimates range from about 21 million to 22.7 million acres, with most analysts leaning toward the higher end of that range. After seeding 20.4 million acres last year, the likelihood of record-large canola area should be bearish on paper. However, yields are still very much in the air. In the U.S., soybeans and corn were both lower on the week, as good Midwestern weather helped ease any nearby concerns for the developing crops. Entering into the heat of summer, weather will be the key market moving factor over the next few months for the Chicago futures. Wheat arguably saw the most excitement during the week, as the key spring wheat-growing regions of the U.S. in North Dakota and Montana continued to miss out on any significant precipitation. Crop ratings for U.S. spring wheat declined to only 41 per cent good to excellent, as of June 18, and were expected to have worsened over the course of the week. Minneapolis futures continued their month-long rally, hitting fresh 2-1/2-year highs in the process. Chicago and Kansas City winter wheat

futures were pulled higher as well, but the advancing harvest in the southern Plains did temper the gains. With the run-up in Minneapolis spring wheat, the Canadian wheat acreage number from Statistics Canada will be closely watched by the global wheat trade. The spring wheat futures rally likely came too late to alter Canadian seeding plans. Average guesses are calling for a downward revision in the all-wheat number from the previous report. Trade estimates place total Canadian

wheat seedings at about 21.5 million to 23.2 million acres, which would compare with the 23.2 million seeded in 2016. Of that total, durum area is forecast to be down considerably on the year, with estimates ranging from about 4.9 million to 5.1 million. Canadian farmers seeded 6.2 million acres of durum the previous year.

JRI expands geographic footprint with U.K. oat plant Purchase makes Winnipeg-based company one the world’s top five oat millers BY ROD NICKEL Reuters

ichardson International, one of Canada’s largest grain handlers, said June 26 it had purchased European Oat Millers in a deal that expands its geographic reach. The acquisition of European Oat Millers, the second-largest oat miller in Europe, closed on June 15, Richardson said in a statement. Both companies are privately owned. Winnipeg-based Richardson intends to increase manufacturing capacity of European Oat Millers, which is based in Bedford, England, and look for other opportunities to expand globally, CEO Curt Vossen said. “It was a tremendous fit for us,” said Richardson spokeswoman Tracey Shelton. “We are positioning ourselves as a global player.” The company could expand further in Europe, in the U.S. or elsewhere, she said. With the purchase, Richardson is one of the world’s five biggest oat millers by capacity, she added.

Shelton declined to disclose terms of the deal or the production capacity Richardson acquired in the purchase.

Shelton declined to disclose terms of the deal or the production capacity Richardson acquired in the purchase. Richardson, a handler of canola, wheat and other crops, expanded into oat milling in 2013 when it bought Viterra’s Can-Oat Milling arm, operating three oat-processing plants in Canada and one in the U.S. Oats complement Richardson’s bigger canola business, which includes producing vegetable oil, margarine and shortening, Shelton said.

May feedlot placements reach 10-year high

China takes first U.S. beef in 14 years

U.S. ranchers during May drove 12.0 per cent more cattle into feedlots than a year earlier, the most for the month in a decade, the USDA reported June 23. Higher prices paid by packers last month generated more profits for feedlot operators, allowing them to buy more calves. USDA showed May placements at 2.119 million head, up from 1.889 million a year earlier and above the average analyst forecast of 2.085 million. It was the most for the month since 2.159 million in 2007. The USDA put the feedlot cattle supply as of June 1 at 11.096 million head, up 3.0 per cent from 10.804 million a year ago. — Reuters

China let through the first shipments of beef from the United States in 14 years on June 23, after the two nations agreed to resume the trade in May, state media reported. The imports were brought in by Cofco Meat Holdings Ltd. from U.S. meat processor Tyson Foods Inc., China National Radio (CNR) reported. Under a new rule, boneless and bone-in beef from cattle under 30 months of age will be eligible for imports. Beef destined for China must also be from cattle that can be traced to its birth farm. Cofco’s imports will be sold on its online sales platform, CNR reported. — Reuters

Sheep industry struggles to match supply with demand Many people want to get into sheep, but don’t have necessary animal husbandry skills BY ALEXIS KIENLEN AF STAFF

he law of supply and demand may usually prevail, but it’s having a bit of trouble working in the Canadian sheep industry. “The No. 1 challenge we face is a shortage of supply,” said Miles Kliner, general manager of Sungold Specialty Meats in Innisfail. “That has been going on for 15 to 16 years. We have fewer sheep market lamb inventory in this country now than we did in 2001 and yet we are in a demand market, which is continuing to grow.” Lamb is the only red meat protein which has grown in consumption in Canada over the last 10 to 12 years. One reason why is the changing nature of Canada’s ethnic population. Millennials and the population at large are also looking to try new types of proteins that are healthy, and more environmentally sustainable. “As Canada becomes more diverse, ethnic immigrants are for sure driving demand, and I think there are more foodies, more people who are becoming aware of what is produced locally,” said Darlene Stein, chair of the Alberta Lamb Producers (ALP). “I think there is a bigger push from that sector as well.” Stein, who raises a commercial flock with her husband near Barrhead, said Canada is not able to meet even 50 per cent of its market demand. The other 50 per cent is currently being filled by New Zealand lamb. “In order for us to expand, we have to be able to compete. It’s great that consumers are becoming more aware of ‘buy local’ but a significant portion of the population is looking at price,” said Stein, who lambs out about 500 to 600 grassbased ewes every year.

The scale problem

Canada needs to compete with New Zealand, but unfortunately, Canadians can’t graze their sheep year round like the New Zealanders can. “There are a lot of expenses

Lamb is the only red meat protein which has grown in consumption in Canada over the last 10 to 12 years. Photo: Thinkstock that they just don’t incur,” said Stein, who has been in the sheep industry for 10 years. One of the challenges for Albertan and Canadian producers, is being able to raise enough sheep so farmers can earn their livelihood from their flocks. Sheep require far more hands-on work than cattle. “A lot of cattle producers will grow their herd and then get a second job. When you’ve got 300 sheep, it’s very difficult to go get a second job, but that’s still not enough sheep to live on,” said Stein, who used to be in the cattle industry. Most ALP members are small producers. Stein estimates 70 per cent are under 100 head, and probably at least 50 per cent are under 50 head. The industry continues to attract new entrants, both in Alberta and Canada. As part of its goal to grow the industry, ALP has joined with sheep organizations in Ontario and Quebec to make its voice more powerful. There is also a sheep representative sitting on the committee for business risk

Miles Kliner management for the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. But there’s lots of incentive to get into the sheep industry. “The demand curve for lamb looks very good,” Sungold’s Kliner said. “If you read or follow or listen to so-called experts who are economists and study these things in detail, the suggestion by all reports is that lamb will continue to grow in per capita consumption in this country over the next five to 15 years. You couldn’t really ask for a better situation,” he said. While lamb is exported to other nations, most lamb

raised in Alberta is still consumed domestically. Most sheep that enter Kliner’s plant are raised by producers he considers hobbyists who don’t have the scale to support themselves. Stein agrees that there are a lot of new entrants joining the industry, but they are mostly small scale, and may be new to livestock production or farming in general. Many people join, but can be discouraged because sheep death losses can be high, due to predation or animal husbandry errors. Kliner is looking to develop business relationships with

producers who want to make the sheep industry their primary business. “As time goes on, we’ve already made some significant inroads. Next year will be much different for us than this year from a supply standpoint,” he said. Stein doesn’t know if Canada will ever have all-Canadian lamb, just because of all of the challenges of the sheep industry. “It would be nice to see a time where we are filling 80 per cent of our market,” she said. akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Microbiome research an important step in beef cattle research Cattle’s internal microbiome another place where diseases develop BY ALEXIS KIENLEN

“When animals get sick and then we treat them, they’re partly recovering from the diseases, but they’re also partly recovering from the antibiotics as they try to re-establish healthy bacteria.”

AF STAFF/EDMONTON

icrobiome research could help answer a lot of questions about respiratory and liver abscess disease. The microbiome, a collection of bacteria, could be another place where diseases develop. “When we’re talking about respiratory diseases, a lot of the bugs that cause respiratory disease are there all the time,” Beef Cattle Research Council science director Reynold Bergen said at the Alberta Beef Producers semi-annual meeting. Humans and cattle can both carry viruses for diseases like staph and influenza. “You’re probably carrying lots of bugs that make you sick. But as long as they stay in the nose, you’re probably just fine,” he said. But when an animal gets stressed or disrupted, the bad bugs start to proliferate, displace other bugs and move further into the respiratory tract. Once these bugs establish themselves in the lungs, respiratory disease can flourish. And unfortunately, some of the basic stresses in the lives of beef cattle can cause bacteria to develop further. Weaning calves and mixing them with others can cause stress. Cattle can also be stressed when they’re transported long distances when they’re off feed and water, or stuck with a new diet when they’re trying to battle bad weather. It’s a special risk for feeder calves.

Reynold Bergen

Beef Cattle Research Council science director Reynold Bergen says we could drastically reduce our total antibiotic use if we could feed fewer antibiotics to avoid liver abscesses. “Those are the ones that will typically get mass medicated on arrival at the feedlot,” he said. “Until recently, I have thought of things like antibiotics as kind of a sniper. We’ve given that antibiotic to kill the disease-causing bacteria. Drugs aren’t snipers.” Bergen said drugs can wipe out both the good and the bad bacteria in a calf’s system, much like a grenade. “When animals get sick and then we

treat them, they’re partly recovering from the diseases, but they’re also partly recovering from the antibiotics as they try to re-establish healthy bacteria.” The emphasis on the reduced use of antibiotics could be positive for the maintenance of healthy bacteria. “If we can find an antibiotic alternative, whether it is the management or whether it is an actual pharmaceutical, there could be some improvements in the recovery time, if it’s that effective,” said Bergen.

Liver abscesses

Liver abscesses are another serious problem for cattle health and growth. “We could drastically reduce our total antibiotic use if we could feed fewer antibiotics to avoid liver abscesses. Those

are typically associated with high-grain diets, but beyond that, there doesn’t seem to be an awful lot we know about liver abscesses,” said Bergen. At this point, scientists don’t know which bacteria cause liver abscesses. There are a few bacteria which constantly show up, but they might not cause the infection. “If you see a dead animal in your field with a bunch of crows on it, the crows probably didn’t kill it,” Bergen said, to laughter in the room. Similar bacteria can be found in liver abscesses, but it’s not actually known if they are responsible for the diseases. “We don’t really know when the feeding period of infection starts,” said Bergen, adding that once scientists learn more, they may be able to get more strategic about which antibiotics can be fed. Liver abscesses could be caused by animal genetic factors. Bergen said feeding wheat, which is a hotter starch source, is also a concern. “If we’re trying to reduce antibiotic use at the same time, that might be challenging,” he said. “The point of this, is that probably in the future, we’ll be doing a fair bit more microbiome-oriented research. If we can understand those bugs better, we’ll understand the disease and hopefully identify more effective alternatives to antibiotics.” When producers are trying to reduce antibiotic use, this often means that they will have to change their management practices, Bergen said. akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Care of the nursing foal Mother Nature, their own mother and human caretakers all have a profound effect on the wellness of young horses Often the connection between early overnutrition, excessive growth rates and developmental bone diseases fails to be made. Such developmental bone diseases include the numerous presentations of osteochondrisos dessicans and/or osteochondritis (OCD), various arthritides, and wobbler’s syndrome which is the clinical presentation of improper cervical bone formation. Therefore, supplemental feeding of the nursing foal, also known as creep feeding, requires careful consideration. Industry standards pressure the young horse to “look its best” at a young age. This unrealistic expectation represented in futurities and yearling sales often dictate feeding protocols that reflect short-term gain which are at odds to long-term soundness of the horse. Decisions to creep feed the nursing foal are complex and complicated and must take into account the nursing mare’s productivity, forage availability and the growth rates desired by the horse owners. Optimal growth rates for a sound five-year-old horse can be very different from industry standards for growth. Many young foals may have crooked-looking limbs for the first days of life. So long as the foal can travel alongside the

rom the time a foal is a week old and healthy until it is weaned, its physical, mental and emotional development is influenced by many caretakers. Mother Nature and Mother Horse are the foal’s primary caretakers, however, human caretakers can also have a substantial influence on the foal’s development. Many events that occur in the life of a young foal shape the nature of the horse it will become. By the time the foal is six months old, it will have already attained about 80 per cent of its mature height and be at over half of its mature weight. Much of its attitude and behaviour toward humans and other horses, as well as its ability to learn will have been affected. Gentle, yet firm and correct, handling of the young impressionable foal is essential to a healthy relationship with humans. Oftentimes the nature of this relationship determines the fate of the young horse. One of the most important considerations in foals from one week old to weaning is healthy physical growth and development. This critical stage of growth for the foal is strongly influenced by nutrition, and nutritional mistakes made early

A nursing foal relies on its own mother, Mother Nature and its human caretakers to ensure good health. PHOTO: CAROL SHWETZ in life can lead to structural problems that limit a horse’s soundness in the future. A foal generally cannot consume enough grass or hay alongside the mare to cause a problem.

However, foals supplemented with additional grain, alfalfa or processed feeds are predisposed to overnutrition and excessively rapid growth. As a result, the foal’s developing musculoskel-

etal system is susceptible to a number of problems. The discovery of these problems can be delayed until the young horse begins training or is placed into hard work.

hanges to farm safety regulations are expected soon — and that might not be a bad thing for Alberta farmers, says the president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture. “Workers’ compensation or private insurance really is a great risk management tool for farms nowadays,” said Lynn Jacobson. “That protection against litigation is one of the big selling fac-

tors for workers’ compensation.” Oneil Carlier, the new NDP agriculture minister, has vowed to extend workplace safety regulations to farm workers who aren’t currently covered by workers’ compensation or Occupational Health and Safety regulations. Today, only around seven per cent of Alberta farm employers voluntarily carry workers’ compensation for their operations. But offering that protection — both for employers and employees — is one of the realities of farm-

ing today, said Jacobson, who farms near Enchant. “There’s getting to be more and more hired help on the farm and we’re employing more people,” he said. “It gives protection from litigation and other advantages, and if you don’t have it, there can be some serious consequences.” And farm workers today “aren’t just interested in a paycheque,” he said. “They’re starting to realize, ‘If I get hurt on this job, where’s the protection for my family?’ When it comes down to it, a farm that has some type of

protection for those people is going to have a lot easier time hiring people.”

senior executive with CP Rail says the com company is “well positioned” to move this year’s g ra i n c r o p d e s p i t e re c e n t cutbacks in staff and locomotives. con Grain is, was and will continue to be Canadian Pacific Railway’s biggest cargo, John Brooks, vice-president of sales com and marketing for bulk commodities, said in an interview Aug. 6. And the historic railway founded in 1881 is investing to move even more in the future, he said. “Make no bones about it, grain is king at CP,” he said. “It is our life-bread. There is nothing we want to do more than move a lot of grain. “I think we feel pretty good about our handling capacity… to move this new crop.” see ee CP Rail on page 7 »

High tunnel production has potential to extend the Manitoba grower’s season, says MAFRD’s fruit crops specialist Anthony Mintenko.

There are “some misconceptions” about workers’ compensation that have made Alberta farmers reluctant to offer coverage to their workers, said Jacobson. “Some people don’t like that administrative role and the paperwork that is associated with the program at this point in time,” he said.

production system that extends the growing season, offers growers a competitive edge in the marketplace and potential to make more money sounds mighty tempting. That’s why fruit and vegetable growers were out in large numbers at Hort Diagnostic Days in late July to hear more about construction of high tunnels. This is the first year a variety of fruits and vegetables has been planted in the high tunnel built in 2014 at the Agriculture Agri-Food

Canada location in Portage la Prairie. Growers are keen to hear what Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) specialists are learning. High tunnel production is commonplace in other parts of Canada and in northern and central U.S. where nearly every type of fruit and vegetable is now grown, even tree fruits. MAFRD staff are researching how high tunnels work in Manitoba growing conditions. “We have a lot of recommendations from other places like Minnesota and Ontario about what to grow in a high tunnel but nothing for under Manitoba conditions,” said fruit

crop specialist Anthony Mintenko, who is evaluating day-neutral strawberries, early-season June-bearing strawberries, fall-bearing raspberries and blackberries at one end of the 100x15x7.5-foot tunnel. Provincial vegetable specialist Tom Gonsalves is experimenting with vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers at the other. High tunnels are like greenhouses, except they don’t have a double layer of poly, and no permanent heat or electricity. But they have a similar function — they keep cold out and, conversely, heat in. see ReseaRCheRs on page 6 »

More cops, more cameras or more common sense? What’s the best way to fight crime in rural Saskatchewan? Questions related to rural crime generated plenty of discussion during the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities’ annual convention in Saskatoon last week, and some controversy as well. SARM is one of the best barometers of public sentiment in rural Saskatchewan. At its annual convention March 14-16, the organization welcomed more than 1,000 delegates — mostly elected reeves and councilors — from 296 RMs across the province. And according to delegates attending the event, rural people are fed up with what they see as threats to their property and personal safety. “For a lot of (rural people), I think it’s a concern about RCMP coverage itself,” said SARM president Ray Orb, when asked about delegates’ frustration. “They don’t feel safe because there aren’t enough police out there to cover the whole province.…It’s (about having) the confidence that the RCMP are there and that when they’re called, they’ll be able to (show up) in a timely manner. Added another delegate, who spoke on the condition of anonymity: “Policing in rural Saskatchewan is inadequate and the criminals know it.… People in remote areas have had enough.” SEE PROTECT PROPERTY, PAGE 4

Farm groups are excited that Canada has launched exploratory free trade agreement talks with China. The Asian country accounted for $5.6 billion in Canadian agri-food exports last year, making it Canada’s second largest market after the United States.

A study commissioned by the Canola Council of Canada found that eliminating tariffs could increase exports of seed, oil and meal to China by up to $1.2 billion per year. That would be the equivalent of shipping an extra 1.8 million

tonnes of canola per year to that market, or 10 percent of annual production. “We see incredible opportunity for grow th in China and part of that opportunity hinges upon better market access,” said Brian Innes, vice-president of government relations with the council. SEE TRADE TALKS, PAGE 5

nursing foal } from page 14 dam easily and comfortably, the majority of these abnormalities will self-resolve. After six to eight weeks crooked limbs in a foal are of much greater concern, particularly those that are acquired and progressively becoming worse. If the afflicted foal appears to be sore and stiff with visible swellings associated with the joints, then the concern is even greater. Careful observation and the ability to recognize normal “correct” conformation are key to monitoring the growing legs of a foal. Flexural and angular limb deformities are deviations from correct limbs. Flexural deformities refer to abnormalities most evident when viewing the limbs from the side and relate to the flexor tendons. Angular limb deformities are abnormal angulations at joints when viewed from the front or the back with the limb deviating to the inside or the outside. Early recognition of development limb problems is key to their successful management. Treatment for flexural deformities and angular limbs depends on the individual case and may involve dietary modification, exercise restriction, specific hoof care, medications, surgery or a combination of these treatments. Lameness is always a red flag in the young foal and needs immediate attention. Young foals with a sudden onset of severe lameness require prompt veterinary attention. A common cause of severe lameness in foals is septic arthritis. An infected joint is a life-threatening problem and must be treated correctly as quickly as possible for the best prognosis.

Young foals may be born with or acquire an umbilical hernia within the first four to six weeks of life. The majority of hernias smaller than the length of three fingers will likely self-resolve. However, umbilical hernias larger than three fingers will generally require surgery in the future for complete closure. Generally it will not be necessary to vaccinate a foal prior to weaning. The immune system of a foal that consumes sufficient colostrum at birth from a vaccinated mare is competent and resistant to infectious diseases. A mare with vaccinations up to date and vaccinated four to six weeks before parturition will ensure the foal is provided with good levels of protective antibodies in the colostrum. While any worm can affect the nursing foal, the most significant parasite is the ascarid, also known as the roundworm. Young foals are at a particularly high risk for ascarid infestations whenever their rearing grounds repeatedly occurred in the same location for a number of years. Ascarids can cause depression, respiratory disease, stunted growth, diarrhea, constipation and potentially fatal colic. Heavy burdens of adult roundworms can cause a lifethreatening impaction in the foal’s small intestines. Deworming with fenbendazole (Panacur) is highly effective against ascarids and is an extremely safe product for foals. Deworming the mare shortly after foaling is recommended as the first step in protecting the foal from an overwhelming load of parasites.

CAA building bridges for Angus breeders The Canadian Angus Association has launched a mentorship program aimed at new breeders BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Staff/Brandon, Man.

hat kind of advice can an Angus breeder in the Maritimes give to a breeder in Alberta? If their management practices are similar enough, they might be about to find out. Participating long-term breeders will be paired off with industry newcomers this summer in a mentorship program announced at the Canadian Angus Association’s annual meeting here in early June. “This isn’t one where perhaps you qualify, perhaps you don’t,” association CEO Rob Smith said. “It is as simple as, if you want someone to help provide you with management expertise, spiritual guidance, the way forward to help you become one of those greatest Angus and seedstock producers in the country, we will help to put you with someone who can help you take those initial steps.” The association has said the program will support breeders during their critical first five years, increase social ties within the membership and provide member resources to support long-term health of the industry. Nathan Marin, CAA new-generation breeder development director, says operational matches

will be prioritized over distance between farms, although the association hopes farm visits will be possible. “It’s basically just a resource for young breeders to go down the road that they want to go down,” Marin said. “If there’s maybe somebody who’s a little more interested in, say, grass-fed cattle, low-energy-type cattle, we’ll try and match them up with somebody who’s running the same program.” The program will include professional development workshops and resources for up-and-coming breeders. Participation is currently limited to association members, although Smith has said he hopes to eventually open it to commercial producers. “We recognize the, not only responsibility, but the obligation that Canadian Angus has to play in our national herd and in support of our national cattlemen,” he said. A 2016 study by Canfax on behalf of the association estimates that between 64 and 67 per cent of Canada’s cow herd is at least half Angus.

Industry growth

The focus on mentorship has been at least partly driven by a sudden increase in membership.

The jump ends a five-year declining trend. From 2010 to 2015, membership fell from 2,634 to 2,225, recovering to 2,346 in 2016. The association also hit a sixyear record in registered cattle in 2016. About 62,400 calves were registered last year, up from 55,400 in 2010. Transfers fell to 21,200 in 2016 from 21,700 the year before. Smith noted, however, that bull transfers had remained largely the same, and attributed the drop to members keeping their registered females. This has fed into herd increases, he said. The association plans to pursue a brief needs assessment with each of its new members over the next year and will include information on the mentorship program. The program is still in its first stages, Marin said, although CAA members have expressed some interest. “It happens right now,” he said. “There are young people who go to older breeders right now and get advice from them all the time. I’ve got lots of friends in the industry my age who have been doing that with older, successful, breeders forever. There’s maybe just some younger folks who are new to this industry who, maybe, don’t have access to those people.” astockford@farmmedia.com

Heat wave may cut French wheat

Low protein in U.S. winter wheat

A June heat wave in France left analysts with mixed views on the impact on the wheat harvest this year, with some strongly reducing forecasts while others saying it came too late to cause major damage. Consultancy Strategie Grains had already slashed its soft wheat harvest estimate by 1.6 million tonnes to 35.6 million June 15, before the severe heat wave hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we have such hot weather, we see yields fall sharply every day,â&#x20AC;? an analyst said. In contrast, a Thomson Reuters Agriculture Research team coming back from a crop tour said in most places the hot spell came too late to cause much damage. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reuters

Reports in late June showed average protein levels in the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop are the lowest in years, heightening concerns about quality as the harvest progresses in top producer Kansas. Premiums for high-quality HRW wheat with protein of 12 per cent or more have swelled to levels unseen for nearly a decade, while prices for spring wheat are at their loftiest in 2-1/2 years. Plains Grains Inc. said on June 23 the average protein of its first 133 samples was 11.1 per cent, below last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unusually low average of 11.2 per cent. U.S. Wheat Associates put the average protein of the 2016 HRW crop at 11.5 per cent, the lowest since 1999.

Thunderstorms, wall clouds and tornadoes Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading into what is usually the peak month for thunderstorms BY DANIEL BEZTE AF contributor

eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue learning about thunderstorms in this issue by taking a look at a few spectacular images of thunderstorms that I have on file. I believe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used these images before, but that was at least five or six years ago. While the cool weather we have seen across the Prairies over the middle part of June might have put a bit of damper on thunderstorm activity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the really severe stuff, at least â&#x20AC;&#x201D; July is usually our peak month for severe storms. Most of us have seen severe thunderstorms and probably have some great tales and possibly images of storms. For me, it seems I often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a camera or phone with me when I see these types of storms. Sometimes I get so caught up in the storm that I forget to try and take pictures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or, when I do have a camera and remember to take pictures, they often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out that great or do the storm justice. In Photo 1 we see a classic textbook example of an approaching thunderstorm. This is a super cell thunderstorm. You can see the central area of convection with the nice smooth band of cloud in the middle of the picture. The low clouds pushing out in front of the storm are a result of the outflow of air from the storm. This outflow of air helps to lift the warm air surrounding the storm as it is being pulled in. You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be nervous seeing this storm coming. In Photo 2 we see another perfect textbook example, but this time it is of a wall cloud. You can easily see how it gets its name. A large portion of the thunderstorm has lowered significantly compared to the rest of the storm. The little tails of clouds on each side of the wall cloud are again showing the rapid inflow of air into the storm. This whole cloud formation will often be rotating and it is from this feature that you expect to see a tornado form. While the tornado in Photo 3 has yet to become fully visible from the parent cloud to the ground, you can already see the effects of the tornado on the ground. The swirling at ground level indicates the funnel cloud has now extended to the ground and become a tornado. As with a large majority of tornadoes, they often form outside of the main rain area of the thunderstorm. Photo 4 is a beautiful example of a green thunderstorm. Personally, this is the type of severe thunderstorm I have probably seen the most. Reading up on why we occasionally see green thunderstorms, I have still not come across any definitive reason for the green colour. The latest research using spectrophotometers to measure the intensity and colour of light coming from green thunderstorms has shown it is not simply the reflection of green vegetation, but is more likely the effect of sunlight being scattered and refracted by large amounts of water and ice within the storm. With green thunderstorms one thing is almost always a sure bet: youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get torrential rains and/or severe hail. So, if you see a green storm coming, take cover!

Pea leaf weevils — the danger comes from below Adults chomping on leaves aren’t the problem with these pests — it’s their offspring feeding on root nodules By Sarah Redekop

AF contributor/Lethbridge

ea leaf weevils are on the move and are now being reported in crops as far north as Edmonton. The pest first appeared in Alberta in 2000 and they have become a huge threat to fababean and field pea growers in the province. Originally nesting in the south, they have migrated and are now appearing in high numbers in south-central Alberta. All it takes is one adult female, and in one shot, thousands of pea leaf weevils are dispersed into a crop waiting to wreak havoc. Once these critters come out of their shell, the real damage begins to occur. It is the larvae of the pea leaf weevil that cause the greatest damage by feeding on the nodules of the plant. Adult pea leaf weevils feed on leaves, which can greatly affect the appearance of a crop as they can consume as much as 20 per cent of the foliage. But looks can be deceiving, said Hector Carcamo, an entomologist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Lethbridge centre. “The damage caused by the adults is very rarely an issue in terms of yield,” Carcamo said at Farming Smarter’s ‘plot hop’ last month. Rather, growers need to be concerned about the larvae, which can eat up to 70 to 80 per cent of the nodules, he said. Without the nodules to provide the nitrogen fixation to the plant, growth and yield will suffer.

Hector Carcamo discusses the pea leaf weevil at Farming Smarter’s ‘plot hop’ last month. PHOTOS: Sarah Redekop Growers who have used seed treatments on their pea crops will still see foliage damage. The insecticide only kills about 30 per cent of the adults and Carcamo said studies have found they provide only a 50 per cent reduction in foliage damage. But the primary way insecticide works is by reducing the amount of eggs. Fababeans seem to respond better to seed treatment than peas and Carcamo said seed-treated fababean crops saw very little damage and had consistent yield responses. Seed treatment remains the best

method in preventing yield loss in both pea and fababean crops, he said. Growers who have not used a seed treatment, and are experiencing extreme seedling damage, may have an alternative. Carcamo has been experimenting on test plots by adding nitrogen to the soil. Although this method defeats the purpose of growing a pulse crop, he said it is a last resort. “If the pea leaf weevil is having a major impact on the field, and it’s mediated through the nitrogen relationship, then you don’t have any other option,” he said. “It’s a desperate measure, basically you want to protect your crop and have some yield.”

No results from insecticides

Using foliar sprays on fababean and

pea crops is something Carcamo recommends against. He has compared several chemicals and the results of foliar insecticides did not produce significant results. “None of the foliar insecticides actually had an impact on protecting the yield in peas,” he said. Foliar insecticides also kill natural predators such as the carabid beetle, which feeds on the pea leaf weevils’ larvae. New management strategies for pea leaf weevil prevention are continually being researched and analyzed by Carcamo and his team. In areas where compost has been added to the field, the larvae will starve because the crop will not produce many nodules. The damage from the adults will still be visible, but if there is a good level of nitrogen in the soil, the pea leaf weevil larvae will not be a threat. “That might be a way to control the weevil in the future,” he said. Trap crops are another method of control Carcamo is hoping to test. “I have this crazy idea,” he said. The idea is to add fertilizer along the border of a fababean or pea crop in hopes pea leaf weevils would lay eggs there. The extra nitrogen would result in fewer nodules and that, in turn, would deprive larvae of their food source and result in higher mortality rates. Growing winter peas could also be another solution. “If you had winter peas, that would be an ideal crop in terms of managing the pea leaf weevil, because you would actually escape the insect in time,” said Carcamo.

With great protection comes great yield.

The verdict by a federal jury in Kansas City was announced by lawyers for the farmers, who blamed the company for causing catastrophic damage to them after Chinese officials began refusing U.S. corn shipments containing Syngenta’s Agrisure Viptera insect-resistant corn in 2013. Thousands of other producers and traders also are seeking damages. Syngenta said it will appeal the verdict. “We are disappointed with today’s verdict because it will only serve to deny American farmers access to future technologies even when they are fully approved in the U.S.,” Syngenta said in a statement.

Fusarium risk map launched in Alberta Available on weatherdata.ca, the information is a tool to help producers decide whether fungicide is needed BY JENNIFER BLAIR AF staff

he provincial government has launched a mobilefriendly tool that will allow cereal producers to measure their fusarium head blight risk. “Fusarium became a huge issue in Alberta last year,” said Brian Kennedy, grower relations and extension co-ordinator at Alberta Wheat Commission, which also worked on the tool. “It’s been sneaking up on the province for a number of years, moving north and west. There were a lot of economic consequences to fusarium head blight last year in the province of Alberta. “We want to have this tool available to growers to help them manage the economic risk.” In 2016, fusarium head blight shot up significantly in both inci-

dence and severity, with almost one-quarter of all crop samples in Alberta testing positive for the disease, up from about six per cent in 2015. Prior to this tool, Alberta didn’t have a fusarium risk model like the ones available for Manitoba and Saskatchewan growers, said Alberta Agriculture and Forestry agrometeorologist Ralph Wright. “Each and every day, both those provinces are putting out a map showing you what the risk for fusarium is,” said Wright. “What we did was develop a mobile-friendly website that gives you an hourly graph of what fusarium is doing.” The tool draws from over 375 weather stations across Alberta that report hourly and then looks at the number of hours of precipitation and the number of hours the temperature was between 15 and 30° over the last seven days. “It will get the fusarium disease severity value from the closest weather station,” said Kennedy. “Then it comes up with a gauge of the current disease severity index of low, moderate, and high risk.”

Risk assessment, not a forecast

But this isn’t a forecast, he added. “A forecast is predicting that something is going to happen,” said Kennedy. “This is just showing the risk of whether these conditions are favourable for the development of fusarium head blight. Then it’s up to growers to be aware of the other factors.” And the No. 1 risk factor is timing. “If their crop is not heading out yet, there’s basically no risk.” But growers also need to be aware of what variety they planted, whether a seed treatment was used, whether they planted infected seed, what was on their field last year and how much fusarium there is in their county, among other things. “Using that information, this is one more tool that will help growers make a decision on whether or not they need to take some action to control the risk of infection,” said Kennedy. “When growers see that the risk is elevated in their area, this will help them to determine the economic value of applying the fungicide.” Because this is the first year the tool is being used, and because it’s based on Manitoba’s model, researchers will be refining the tool over the coming year to ensure its accuracy. A Prairiewide study is also being initiated to develop a standard model for the Prairies and “tweak” the maps going forward. “It’s another tool that helps growers in decision-making,” said Kennedy. “We think it’s pretty accurate, but we need to continually validate and ground-truth it in the hope that someday it will be possible to have a forecast like the wheat midge maps.” To access the tool, visit www. weatherdata.ca and click Alberta Weather Station Data and Graphs.

Saskatchewan herbicide resistance a heads-up for Alberta More than half of fields surveyed had a resistant weed, with Group 1-resistant wild oat at the top of the list BY JENNIFER BLAIR AF staff / Lacombe

lberta’s herbicide-resistant weed survey is underway this summer, but the results from Saskatchewan paint a grim picture of what to expect here. “Since 2009, there’s been an 89 per cent increase in the land area affected by herbicide-resistant weeds,” said federal research scientist Breanne Tidemann. “We are in a fairly steep incline in terms of herbicide resistance in the Prairies.” While Alberta’s survey results won’t be available until next year, Saskatchewan researchers have surveyed 400 fields across the province to evaluate Group 1 and Group 2 herbicide resistance. “Out of those 400 fields that were randomly selected, 57 per cent of them had a herbicide-resistant weed. Over half of the fields they looked at had a herbicide-resistant weed,” said Tidemann. “If you extrapolate that to the actual number of fields in Saskatchewan, that’s over 60 per cent of fields. “We expect to be quite similar to Saskatchewan.” Wild oat remains the No. 1 resistant weed, she added. “Of the fields surveyed, 49 per cent of them had a herbicide-resistant wild oat. Basically one in two that they looked at had a herbicideresistant wild oat.” In those fields, 45 per cent had a Group 1-resistant wild oat, 21 per cent had a Group 2-resistant wild oat, and 16 per cent had resistance to both. “We expect some of those numbers to be similar or higher in Alberta. That’s how they’ve been in the last couple of years,” said Tidemann. “And in the fields with Group 1 and 2 resistance, there’s a whole lot fewer options available in some of those fields.”

Winter cereals can outcompete spring annual weeds. “When you already have an established crop in the spring, those spring annual weeds have a much harder time establishing because they’re already facing more serious competition,” said Tidemann. “The canopy is less open so it’s harder for them to get light. The root systems of the winter cereals are more established, so it’s harder for them to get nutrients. It’s harder for them to compete with those winter cereals.” In Australia, harvest weed seed management is another tool gaining traction, and it too works best with winter cereals. For harvest weed seed management to be effective, the seeds need to be on the plant at the

time of harvest. For weeds like wild oat in spring crops, the seeds are generally gone by that point. “With a crop that you harvest a lot earlier, there’s a lot more seeds on those plants at the time of harvest. It makes some of those technologies more viable.” But that’s not to say winter cereals don’t come with their own problems, she added. “Something like cleavers could be a real problem in winter cereals because they come up and establish at the same time,” said Tidemann. “We have herbicides to manage those right now, but with the way our herbicide resistance is going, that could be a concern.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Producers battling herbicide-resistant weeds will need to add diversity to their rotations, says federal research scientist Breanne Tidemann. PHOTO: Jennifer Blair

LESS WAITING. MORE REAPING. The only way to get faster dry down and easier harvesting.

Cleavers a question mark

Despite the increase in Group 1-resistant wild oats, Group 2-resistant cleavers didn’t increase from the last survey in 2009. They were found in about 20 per cent of fields, Tidemann said. “That really surprised me, and I’d be really surprised if we saw the same thing in Alberta, just because of the sheer number of cleavers that we’re seeing and a lot of them with Group 2 resistance,” said Tidemann, adding that redroot pigweed, shepherd’s purse and stinkweed are three new Group 2-resistant species that were found in Saskatchewan. “I expect us to be increasing in terms of Group 2 resistance.” And once producers lose those modes of action to manage weeds, their control options are relatively limited. One option is winter cereals, said Tidemann. “One of the biggest messages you’ll hear right now in terms of managing weeds — and in particular herbicide-resistant weeds — is that diversity is key,” she said. “Diversity in your crops, diversity in your rotations, diversity in your weed management tools — it’s all about diversity. “What winter cereals do is bring diversity into your cropping rotation.”

stem, the Yellow clematis vine grows rapidly on almost any surface — bare ground, trees and shrubs, up fences, etc. Drought, nutrient-poor soils and cold temperatures don’t seem to hold this invader back. Unfortunately control can be difficult as cultivation is not known to be successful and grazing controls are not recommended. Herbicides are also not registered for use on Yellow clematis at this time. Mechanical control, or repeated hand pulling prior to seed set seems to be the most effective way to manage this pest. For more information on this or any invasive plant, contact your local agricultural fieldman (www.aaaf.ab.ca) or the Alberta Invasive Species Council (www. abinvasives.ca).

NEWS Get involved in a national food policy: Alberta Barley Staff

Alberta Barley is encouraging farmers to make their voices heard in development of a national food policy. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau listed a food policy as one of his priorities in a mandate letter to Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay when he was appointed in 2015. In May this year, MacAulay announced a national consultation process, including an online survey. “We are pleased to see the federal government engaging with stakeholders across the food industry,” Alberta Barley chair Jason Lenz said in a release. “The input of farmers in particular will add perspective

to this complex policy objective.” A Food Policy for Canada will be the first of its kind for the Government of Canada and will, in part, explore the agriculture industry’s relationship to food. This includes producers’ commitment to conserving soil, water and air and growing high-quality food. “Providing feedback on our use of environmentally sustainable practices, as well as the ability to adapt to changing conditions, will show the federal government our contribution to the long-term, reliable and abundant supply of safe, healthy food,” Lenz said. Alberta Barley said it will be engaged in the consultation process and sees this as a policy priority in the coming months. Individual Canadians including farmers can participate in the online survey at www. canada.ca/en/campaign/foodpolicy.html.

Former ag minister Fjordbotten passes STAFF

emorial services were held June 25 in Claresholm, for LeRoy Fjordbotten, who served as Alberta’s agriculture minister from 1982 to 1986. Fjordbotten, who died June 8, farmed northeast of Granum, about 60 km northwest of Lethbridge, and was a member of Flying Farmers of Alberta before running for the Progressive Conservatives in 1979 in the Macleod riding. Fjordbotten served as minister of agriculture from 1982 through to 1986 under then premiers Peter Lougheed and Don Getty. He later served stints as minister for tourism (1986-87) and forestry, lands and wildlife (1987-92). After leaving provincial politics in 1992, he set up Silverwood Consultants, a private sector consulting firm, and stayed in farming until 2015. Memorial donations may be made to the Salvation Army, the Alberta Cancer Foundation or Granum Lutheran Church.

eona and Blaine Staples produce a bit of a different kind of commodity on their operation near Penhold. “We really farm people,” said Leona Staples, who has been running the Jungle Farm with husband Blaine since 1996. “One of the passions in our life is sharing our farm with the rest of the world. We really believe our job here is to create really goodtasting food, to educate families, and to create memories for the families that come to visit us.” The original farm was homesteaded by Leona’s great-grandfather in 1897 and named the Jungle Farm owing to the brown bear that lived nearby. He couldn’t have known then how truly apt the name would turn out to be: since those early days, the Jungle Farm has evolved from a grain and livestock operation to what it is today — a sprawling operation that is one-part U-pick, one-part agritourism and one-part education. “When we came back to the farm, we started with 3,000 strawberry plants, and we’ve grown from there,” said Staples, who is a member of Innisfail Growers, a local marketing co-operative. “When we sent the very first of our strawberries in 1997 to the farmers’ market, we had people on our doorstep looking to pick strawberries. That’s when our world started to change.” They started out with a simple goal — “that people could come at any time, and as long as strawberries were in season, we would have strawberries for them to pick.” From there, they expanded into producing flowers, offering school tours, selling vegetable boxes, preparing pies and preserves, and drawing families to the farm for activities, events, and workshops.

Leona and Blaine Staples have grown their U-pick operation to a full-blown agritourism venture. PHOTO: Jennifer Blair starts in April, when they open the farm to the public for custom planting. In May, the greenhouse opens with traditional bedding plants and hanging baskets, and school tours begin. July and August are U-pick season, and in addition to the U-pick strawberries, customers can pick any of the vegetables they grow for their vegetable boxes. In the fall, their “world changes again” when they open up the back play area, which features a 60-foot slide, eight-acre corn maze, farm animals, pumpkin patch, and gnome walk. And through it all, the Staples take their wares to farmers’ markets across central Alberta, including Edmonton and Calgary. “We try to do whatever we can to get our vegetables to the market quicker,” said Staples. “That’s always the trick with farmers’ markets — being the first on the block to have it.” All of this growth has been possible thanks to “significant

changes” in consumer shopping habits, including the growing trend toward buying local. “When we first opened up, we had lovely grannies who were 60 to 90 years old who came and picked 10 or 20 baskets,” said Staples. “Now we have a ton of families. But they buy more things. And most people are coming for fresh eating, so they come multiple times.”

When the Staples first started doing U-pick about 15 years ago, they found that people weren’t willing to walk if fields weren’t close to the barn, they weren’t willing to pick anything other than strawberries, and they “drank a lot of pop.” “Today, for young moms, it’s no problem,” said Staples. “They’ve got these strollers with big wheels, and they will walk a quarter-mile without batting an eye. They will pick anything and everything. And we go through more water than you can imagine. “The world has really changed, and that has happened only in the last probably five to eight years.” And with that change has come the opportunity for Staples to help people reconnect with where their food comes from. “I was not put on this earth to farm,” said Staples. “I was put on this earth to share agriculture — to make it touchable and make it human.”

RCMP and Citizens On Patrol make it official Volunteers provide extra eyes and ears to help prevent crime STAFF

he RCMP and Alberta Citizens On Patrol Association (ACOPA) have officially teamed up. An Alberta RCMP release said the two have co-operated for many years, but deputy commissioner Todd Shean and ACOPA chair Beverley Salomons recently signed an official memorandum of understanding (MOU) which outlines their partnership.

Citizens On Patrol is a police-supported, communityled program aimed at reducing crime in the community through the active participation of citizens in crime prevention and patrol activities. When a crime or suspicious behaviour is observed, Citizens On Patrol members will immediately contact their local RCMP detachment. “Citizens On Patrol members help us see a little farther, hear a little more and ultimately help make our communities safer,” Shean said. “While today’s MOU signing formalizes our co-operation, it’s the countless

volunteer hours spent by community-minded citizens that are most vital to this program’s continuing success.” Citizens On Patrol may also be involved in crime prevention activities relating to the awareness and prevention of community safety issues. “Today is a step forward in sealing the relationship between the RCMP and ACOPA,” Salomons said in the release, “and the continued opportunity for citizens in communities to volunteer as extra eyes and ears in keeping their communities safer.”

SPECIAL EVENT FEATURE

Now in its third year, Ag in Motion is Western Canada’s only major outdoor farm show, where you can see, hear and feel the latest in ag technology. It will be held July 18-20 at Langham, just 15 minutes northwest of Saskatoon. For more information or the full program, visit www.aginmotion.ca. photo: farmboy productons

Seeing results where they count More than 25 companies will showcase their products in more than 100 acres of crop plots

t Ag in Motion, seed, crop protection and fertilizer companies, as well as grower associations and industry members will showcase field crop products as they should be seen — in the ground. Ag in Motion is home to over 100 acres of crop plots from over 25 companies and organizations, with both numbers growing every year. This number is the highest of any outdoor show in Western Canada. “Not only is this a great way to see a large number of companies in one place, it also provides an excellent opportunity for demonstrations to take place from individual companies and organizations. It’s the best place for conversations and education to take place,” says Dan Kuchma with Ag in Motion. “We give farmers the chance to see for themselves the different options available to them, and the tools to make the most informed decisions.” New for 2017 are expanded plots for a number of companies, including an enormous 500x170-foot plot from Crop Production Services, as well as the addition of eight companies and associations to the lineup. Saskatchewan Pulse Growers is among the expanded exhibitors this year, and has added largescale pulse crop plot demonstrations for attendees to learn about growing pulses in addition to the main site where varieties will be showcased. The pulse demo area will feature weed control in peas, lentils, and soybeans, showcasing

Eight new companies and organizations will have displays at this year’s show. PHOTo: farmboy productions herbicide layering options for increased weed control and a demonstration on pulse fertility, which will examine the nutrient requirements for pulses. “Weed control is the No. 1 concern with pulse growers and we wanted to showcase the options that are available to them,” says Sherrilyn Phelps, agronomy manager, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers. “The fertility project is more of an educational demonstration to show growers that

nutrients are still important for growing pulses and management of phosphorus is something that we should be paying more attention to. Phelps adds, “Our demos will help attendees gain a better understanding of how to manage weeds and resistance using an integrated approach combining agronomics and herbicides, and will help them implement what they learn on their own farm. Understanding nutrient require-

ments for pulses is important for optimizing yields and maximizing returns. A healthy crop can better fight off disease and withstand stress, and a balanced approach to nutrient management will help ensure sustainability of a rotation.” Ag in Motion welcomes FP Genetics, Yara, Farmers of North America, Thunder Seeds, Sask Canola, Taurus Ag, Northern Quinoa Production Corp. and Gowan, all featuring crop plots

for the first time at the show in 2017. Returning companies include Alliance Seed, ATP Nutrition, BASF, Bayer CropScience, BrettYoung, CANTERRA SEEDS, Cargill, Compass Minerals, Crop Production Services, DEKALB, Dow AgroSciences, Engage Agro, ESN Smart Nitrogen, Monsanto Canada Inc., Rack Petroleum, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, SeCan, Stroller Enterprises and Union Forage.

Livestock Central adds exhibits and programming

Managing herbicide resistance

Cattle farmers can not only take a look at the various systems on offer, they can actually see them in action

Gowan Canada will host a speaker series on Wednesday and Thursday

ivestock Central at Ag in Motion has expanded the scope of experience for visitors this year. This is sure to be a marked stop for livestock producers on their visit to the expo. BMO Financial Group is proud to present Livestock Central this year as it celebrates its bicentennial. “We are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm we have seen to expand this area of the expo from exhibitors and industry stakeholders alike,” says Michael Hargrave, livestock co-ordinator for Ag in Motion. “Livestock Central will have exhibitors and events to pique the curiosity of every visitor coming through.” New this year, Wednesday, July 19 will be “Beef Day.” As part of Beef Day, a new speaker series organized in partnership with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture will focus on topics specific to the production and care of beef cattle. A key feature of Beef Day in the Livestock Pen will be a low-stress cattle-handling demo featuring internationally recognized stockmanship instructor Curt Pate. “With the growing public scrutiny of livestock production, improving our livestock-handling practices will help the sustainability of the cattle industry,” Pate says. Be sure to mark down the start of Pate’s demos in the Livestock Pen at 12:30 p.m and 3:30 p.m. The livestock-handling demo has grown this year to include more handling systems from 2W

A soil residual will remove around 80 per cent of weeds before they emerge, drastically reducing exposure to the post-emergent mode of action. If you are already incorporating Group 3 and Group 8 in your plans — great job. If not, start now — before resistance becomes too costly. Like for farmers in Australia, the U.K. and U.S. who now spend over $100 per acre on herbicides in some cases or are paying people to hand rogue weeds in others. Gowan’s message is straightforward: change your approach before you are forced to! Learn more about resistance management from technical experts from the U.K. and Australia during your trip to Ag in Motion. On Wednesday, July 19 and Thursday, July 20, Gowan Canada will be hosting a speaker series. Rob Plaice, technical manager for Gowan United Kingdom and Ireland will provide an overview of herbicide-resistance issues in the United Kingdom. Next up will be Craig Hole, an Australian farmer and agronomist at Landmark, one of Australia’s largest distributors. He will provide an overview of herbicide-resistance issues faced by Australia’s agriculture industry. These educational sessions begin at 9:30 a.m. in the AgriTrend Knowledge Tent (Booth 645). Seating is limited, and priority will be given to preregistered guests. To register, visit www.aginmotion.ca/ managingresistance.

iversity is defined in the dictionary as “the condition of having or being composed of differing elements.” In weed control, diversity means using multiple strategies, or an integrated weed management approach. For herbicides, this means using all of the modes of action available to reduce the risk of weed resistance. This may be obvious, but we aren’t doing great when it comes to diversity in our herbicide choices. The latest estimates are that as much as 50 per cent of the crop area in Western Canada could be affected by Group 1- and/or Group 2-resistant wild oats. Market research shows 74 per cent of wheat acres, 61 per cent of barley acres, 100 per cent of pea acres and 42 per cent of canola acres saw a Group 1 or Group 2 in 2015. This is compared to Group 3s and 8s which were used on less than five per cent of acres. The imbalance exists because of the ease of use of post-emergent herbicides compared to soil residuals. Also, the use of post-emergent herbicides fits no-till and min-till systems very well. However, in some cases the exclusive use of post-emergent herbicides has resulted in resistance. And with increased use of glyphosate we are now seeing resistance to some weeds and researchers warn that glyphosateresistant wild oat could be on the horizon. It is time to get a more balanced approach. Increased use of Group 3 and Group 8 is a good component of a weed-resistance management strategy. A benefit of adding a soil residual is the major-

SPECIAL EVENT FEATURE

Live WeatherFarm demo to be on display at AIM W eatherFarm will be on full display at the 2017 Ag in Motion Farm Expo. Two permanently installed weather stations will be showcased around the site, along with a demo station and the WeatherFarm.com online platform available in the booth for visitors to see up close. One weather station has been operating at the Ag in Motion site since 2016, providing the exhibitors and plot growers with

real-time weather, forecasts and historical data. WeatherFarm continues to provide unique tools to farmers, offering real-time temperature, wind and rainfall data right from a station on their own farm. Glacier FarmMedia has been working on updates to the WeatherFarm program with new features such as improved weather alerts and crop tools, predictive radar and advanced detailed forecasting. It also plans to offer com-

mentary and analysis on the impacts of weather events to farming operations. Make sure to stop by and visit the Glacier FarmMedia booth to check the weather and discuss all the decision-making tools available through WeatherFarm and a weather station on your farm. You will be able to sign up on the spot and by purchasing a weather station, join the largest on-farm weather network in Canada.

The Right Choice for Every Job.

New Ride ’n’ Drive feature: self-propelled sprayers Sprayers will be lined up and driven one at a time by interested buyers

hoosing the right machine the first time saves growers time and money – in the purchase and in the application. Investing in a sprayer is a large financial commitment, so it’s important to know what’s on the market to truly meet your farm’s needs and to understand how the different models compare in performance. That’s why a new Sprayer Ride ’n’ Drive will be featured for the first time ever at Ag in Motion this year. “One of the great features of an outdoor show is the ability of attendees to test out and learn about equipment, no matter how big or small, before they buy,” says Paul Roper, Ag in Motion demonstration coordinator. “The Sprayer Ride ’n’ Drive is a great chance to learn about different equip-

ment makes and models, and speak to the people who know them best.” Taking place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily in the Demonstration Field, each company will have its own “pit” area in the large demonstration space. Sprayers will be lined up and driven one at a time by interested buyers for a maximum of 10 minutes; however, serious buyers will have the opportunity for further testing following the Ride ’n’ Drive’s conclusion. It will be ongoing throughout the day with no appointments, so interested attendees should arrive early to try out any equipment they may be interested in purchasing. Attendees can expect to see and test equipment from manufacturers like Massey, New Holland, John Deere and Versatile.

AIM features first-ever combine demo Six machines will make daily passes through a field of fall rye

here’s never been anything like this in Western Canada before. See, first hand, how a fall rye crop feeds into and passes through six machines as they line up side by side to harvest in the Ag in Motion demonstration field. Fall rye has been seeded at the Ag in Motion site and has been growing all summer long in order for it to be as mature as

possible for July’s demonstrations and to best simulate fall harvest conditions. The 15-acre plot will be straight cut by the participating combines. This demonstration will feature examples of these monstrous machines from manufacturers like Claas, Versatile, New Holland, John Deere and Massey. Redekop will also have a presence in the demo, show-

casing its unique combine header. The combine demonstration will kick off the Ag in Motion field demos at 12:30 p.m. Directly following, at 1:30 p.m., the tillage demonstration will highlight and compare equipment for one-pass seedbed preparation. An interactive Sprayer Ride ’n’ Drive will be ongoing daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. as well.

g in Motion is different from other farm shows because it is the best place to see demonstrations live in the field. Large equipment, large crowds and an abundance of information create the high-energy environment that surrounds the large-scale field demos each year. It’s the perfect setting to compare machines like combines or planters. But Ag in Motion’s outdoor setting also allows for exhibitors to host their own demonstrations throughout the show. These allow a more handson, close-up approach and are a great option to maximize your time learning about new technology with an exhibit that is very relevant to your operation. Exhibitors often have machinery, tools, or technology to demonstrate, and attendees are encouraged to get a handson, personal feel for what they’re interested in. Attendees can find experts in what they’re looking for at each booth space, giving them the perfect chance to ask questions and learn. From tire inflation to ditchers and fertilizer equipment to truck test drives, there are many different individual demonstrations

happening this year. Check out these exhibitors for more details: • Titan • Michelin • ABF Machines • Western Mulching & Crushing Equipment • Leon’s • Neeralta • Agri Spread • Salford • RAM Trucks • Toyota • NextGen • New Leader Don’t miss the field demonstrations at Ag in Motion, but don’t miss seeing exhibitor demonstrations either — they’re a great way to tailor the show experience to best fit your farm, get close to the latest innovation and technology, and talk to the experts about your farm’s needs.
