ith a flurry of press releases and a ceremony at the Port of Montreal, a new chapter in Canada’s economic history has begun to unfold as Canada’s trade deal with Europe came into effect. The Canada-Europe Trade Agreement (CETA) took provisional effect Sept. 21, even as the third round of the NAFTA renegotiations kicked off in Ottawa. While the agriculture sector welcomed the news, industry representatives also expressed reservations about the pace of efforts to now clear non-tariff barriers and other unfinished segments. Brian Innes, president of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance urged Ottawa to press ahead on unresolved issues with the EU. Innes cited the slow progress the EU is making to allow real, commercially viable access to the EU for agri-food exporters. This includes progress on meat-processing protocols, crop protection products, country-of-origin labelling and the timely approval of biotechnology traits. “Our growing export-oriented agri-food sector relies on access to markets,” he said. There is also apprehensions about recent protectionist initiatives in Europe such as Italy’s country-of-origin labelling of Canadian pasta provisions. “These measures

are not in the spirit of CETA and threaten to fragment the common EU market. Still the potential for Canada making greater trade inroads in EU markets is huge, Innes said. It is the fourth-largest export destination for Canadian agri-food

products and when fully implemented, the deal will eliminate EU tariffs on almost 94 per cent of Canada’s agri-food products. See CETA on page 6 »

group of Quebec researchers, at that p r ov i n c e’s In s t i t u t National De La Recherche Scientifique, say they’ve identified an effective way to remove the pesticide atrazine from surface water. Atrazine, widely used as a weed killer, is known to have harmful effects on aquatic wildlife and presents a risk to human health by altering the action of certain hormones, according to some studies. In a s t u d y p u b l i s h e d recently in Water Research, a

team led by INRS professor, Patrick Drogui compare various processes used to degrade atrazine. A process known as photoelectron-Fenton (or PEF) seems particularly effective for removing low concentrations of atrazine and its byproducts in surface water sampled from agricultural areas. More than 99 per cent of the atrazine was removed following just 15 minutes of treatment in prepared samples, reducing the concentration of the product to below detectable levels. In natural surface water samples where the product

was found, the results were very similar, with reductions ranging from 96 to 99 per cent. The findings pave the way for more work that could see the technique leave the lab for real-world application, Drogui said. “The challenge is to develop low-cost industrial technologies that can be used to treat large volumes of water and simultaneously remove micropollutants like pesticides and their metabolites, which can be more toxic than the original compounds,” he said. Although PEF is a clean, effective technology, it will take some more work to combine it with a biological treatment process in a water treatment plant and make it more energy efficient.

Otterburne dairy is Manitoba’s largest solar-powered farm The off-grid option has upfront costs but locks in energy costs for the foreseeable future

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON

“Putting solar on the farm means I’ve prepaid my hydro bill for the next 25 years.”

Co-operator staff

southern Manitoba dairy is just days away from flipping the switch on the largest solar-powered farm in Manitoba. Optimist Holsteins Ltd. near Otterburne is in final stages of setting up a newly installed 175-kilowatt, solar photovoltaic (PV) system. When operational it will begin producing enough power to meet all the farm’s electrical needs while earning credits to offset the farm’s hydro bills when they do have to dip into the grid. The newly installed 540 ground-mounted, solar panels line about an acre of farmland. It puts an end to their yearly $25,000 hydro bill, says Hans Gorter who owns and operates the farm with his wife Nelleke, son Albert and his partner Chelsea Enns. “Putting solar on the farm means I’ve prepaid my hydro bill for the next 25 years,” said Gorter. The farm’s own investment in the system was about $250,000 with another $175,000 in rebate from Manitoba Hydro helping cover the total cost of $400,000. Their farm’s energy requirements made it a very good fit for rebates through Manitoba Hydro’s Power Smart Solar Energy Program of $1,000 per kilowatt up to a maximum of $200,000.

“We just fell into that category where we could maximize the incentive,” said Gorter. Hydro’s rebate was the final push they needed to go solar, he continued. Originally from the Netherlands, their family came to Canada in 1987. They’ve kept in touch with friends in Europe who regularly talk about their own switch to solar energy systems, Gorter said, but so long as hydro rates remained low in Manitoba there never was much incentive to switch themselves. Then they met representatives of Sycamore Energy Inc.’s Solar Manitoba who had a booth at Ag Days in Brandon. “They were telling us about

Manitoba Hydro doing the rebate. I got interested. We did the numbers and we started to see that it was time to move on this,” said Gorter. Justin Phillips, the company’s president said their firm’s main focus is on farms and agricultural businesses. “We have over 100 farms that we’re working with to install solar across the province,” he said. That’s still a small fraction of the total farms but they anticipate a big uptake this fall after harvest. “Ultimately, this is the only piece of equipment that a farmer’s going to buy that doesn’t break down and makes money,” he said. Many farmers are eyeing

solar power as a hedge against future electricity prices. “They see the opportunity to help eliminate the need to be dependent on hydro and offset their hydro needs with solar,” said Phillips. “They’re locking in their electricity rates themselves by using solar rather than succumbing to the inflation rates of Manitoba Hydro in the years to come.” Manitoba Hydro’s offer of its substantial rebates plus the prospect of rising hydro rates ahead are the main drivers. Manitoba Hydro is asking the Public Utilities Board for a 7.9 per cent rate hike each year for the next four years. The PUB approved an interim increase of 3.36 per cent, with a ruling on the original hike application to come later this year. Phillips said Manitoba is very well suited for solar energy systems due to the intensity of solar radiation here. The majority of solar energy — 85 per cent — is produced during the spring, summer and fall months, then drops down

through winter when the sun is lower and the days are shorter. The surplus energy produced in the warm months on the farm is fed back into Hydro’s grid. “In the summer months Hans will be turning his meter backwards, for lack of a better way of describing it, or feeding back into the grid, creating a credit on his account, ” said Phillips. Gorter said he’s had many calls and inquiries from those interested to see the installation and he’s pleased to showcase a dairy farm trying to reduce its environmental footprint. “I hope the farm community looks at this as I do,” he said. “We are in food production. We have to reduce our footprint and we have to make it sustainable for the next generation.” Hydro has received applications for other even larger solar installations but to date Optimist Holsteins remains the largest, Hydro officials said last week. To date 460 applications have been received, 408 approved, and 103 installations completed for a total of $1.26 million paid out in rebates. T h e t w o - ye a r p i l o t p rogram is scheduled to end in May 2018, with no discussions having yet been held regarding continuing or expanding it further. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

All hands on deck

t was a dreary fall afternoon this past Sunday at Argyle, as rain lashed the countryside and soaked stubble fields. Inside the local community hall and curling rink, however, there was a clear sense of warmth and community. The hamlet had pulled out all the stops to host its annual fall supper — the 135th iteration of the annual event — and it was a textbook case of a community pulling Gord Gilmour together for a common cause. Vehicles Editor packed the parking lot and lined the highway leading through town. Down at the community hall, the cooks were cranking out a delicious turkey dinner with all the fixings and filling both takeout orders and thermal boxes that were efficiently transported down to the curling rink, where locals and visitors alike piled in for the fall feast. At the curling rink itself, the volunteer force drew everyone from kids in their early teens to retirees as they served up pie, poured coffee, tea and juice and just generally made a smoothly operating machine out of what could have just as easily slid into chaos as a first-come, first-served event. But with everyone pulling together the lines moved quickly, tables were seated, served and cleared with good humour and grace. The sight caused a bit of reflection on the nature of volunteerism in a smaller centre and the unique dedication it takes. That’s not to say there isn’t a similar commitment in larger towns and cities like Winnipeg — but as a part of the function of the larger population base, those efforts are generally more specialized. Small groups of like-minded citizens who care deeply about an issue such as feeding hungry kids a nutritious breakfast at school or helping the city’s homeless population navigate another frigid winter band together and do great service to their communities too. But those efforts tend to draw on a limited pool of volunteers from a much larger population base. The sort of all-hands-on-deck efforts seen in small towns is rarer, confined generally to something such as a spring flood that draws volunteer sandbaggers rallying to help strangers. In the smaller centres of Manitoba however, there isn’t the luxury of that larger pool of helping hands and it’s frequently the same group of community-minded volunteers that pull together again and again. These are the helping hands that keep hockey and curling rinks operating, the local museum open and the like. Without them these communities would struggle to be true communities, and their efforts daily weave the social fabric of rural Manitoba. One can only hope this proud tradition continues throughout the province in the coming decades, giving us all, country folk and city dweller alike, the occasional opportunity to experience it and even lend our own helping hands. By doing so we build and support communities.

Sweating the details

s the Canada-Europe Trade Agreement was negotiated over the last few years, it’s been touted as a game-changing deal that opens up a potentially massive market. That may well be, but it would appear for most agricultural commodities, that’s going to be an ‘easier-said-than-done’ scenario, at least for the foreseeable future. Ottawa has made much of the fact that, to quote Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s website, “With CETA’s provisional application, almost 94 per cent of the EU agricultural tariff lines are now duty free...” However, as our Ottawa correspondent Alex Binkley reports (see front page of this issue) it’s not quite so simple as all that. While a lot of tariffs may have been eliminated, it would seem plenty of barriers remain. Over the next six years Canada’s annual quota for beef shipped to Europe will grow from 15,000 tonnes to 65,000 tonnes annually. Over the same period, pork quota will grow from 6,000 to 75,000 tonnes. However, production issues such as the Canadian use of growthpromoting hormones and meat-processing protocols promise to cap that number at a far lower level until they are ironed out. In grain and oilseed production, there are similar promises that duties such as a $190-a-tonne tariff on high-quality durum wheat, to cite just one example, will disappear. What that fails to address is the reality that a lack of harmonization in pesticide and biotechnology approvals still promises to raise hurdles to trade for the foreseeable future. Another issue for grain producers is the recent move in the major durum market of Italy to introduce country-of-origin labelling for pasta and rice there, throwing up yet another roadblock to enhanced trade. In the meantime, Ottawa’s attention appears to have moved on to cutting new deals with China, the U.K. and NAFTA renegotiations. That’s worrisome. Without a concerted effort to resolve these issues, Canada may never gain its promised market access. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Are changes to Canada’s tax code being driven by job churn? BY DERRICK RANCOURT Cumming School of Medicine

any Canadians think the recently proposed changes to the tax code are a money grab. But it could also be related to the changing face of work. Just less than a year ago, Finance Minister Bill Morneau began warning Canadians about “job churn.” This is insecure and unprotected employment that often doesn’t support a household. More and more companies are forgoing hiring long-term employees in lieu of short-term contracts offered to freelancers. Companies prefer to get employees off their books to eliminate the costs of benefits and pensions. In the new ‘gig’ economy, precarious workers often rack up several short-term contracts to pay the bills. As a result, they often set up sole proprietorships or other forms of small business in part to pay for their benefits, long-term savings, etc. This activity known as consulting was once the domain of white-collar workers. However, now many non-professionals are forced to form consultancies. Of course, this change is being enabled by internet applications and the ‘sharing economy,’ which can be a source of short-term work. Of course, forming a small business based on a series of short-term contracts has its benefits from a tax perspective: • Company profits are taxed at a lower rate (10 to 15 per cent) instead of up to 50 per cent for a regular wage earner. • Savvy small-business owners use income sprinkling, distributing the company’s profit as earnings to family members, who are taxed at a lower rate. • Remaining profits can be invested outside the business. Any revenues generated by these investments are capital gains that are also taxed at a lower rate.

OUR HISTORY:

While small-business owners argue that this ability to invest profits helps shore up companies through lean years, Morneau calls this and the other strategies unfair tax dodges. For years, the Canadian government has been turning a blind eye to the tax loopholes that small businesses have leveraged. This is because many of these tax dodges are practised by physicians and other professionals. Canada has always been at risk of losing these professionals to other jurisdictions, including the United States. However, with the relatively unfriendly climate in the United States, the Liberal government thinks that now may be the time to tighten up Canada’s small-business tax code, without fear of a massive brain drain. While this may be the case, there may be more to this. Soon, half the Canadian workforce will be self-employed, compared with 20 per cent now. This means Canada is at risk of losing a considerable amount of its tax base. Compare a future 15 per cent tax rate for consultants to a 50 per cent tax rate for current wage earners. While the government argues it’s unfair to tax wage earners at a higher rate than small-business owners, changing work demographics may have more to do with it. Morneau simply wants to get in front of this parade. Consultancy was once limited to well-paid professionals but now, because of job churn, it’s being forced on working families. The government needs to recognize that these workers struggle to assemble short-term contracts, while protecting themselves with self-paid benefit plans and managing pseudopensions through investments outside the proprietorship. Some distinction needs to be made between highly paid professionals and working families forced into this new work arrangement.

he Delco-Light generator advertised in the September 1927 issue of The Scoop Shovel could provide light for buildings and power for the separator, grinder, pump or saw for only a few cents per day. In a lengthy article, Manitoba Wheat Pool manager R.M. Mahoney discussed grain grading, a subject on which he said, “I have a rather sinking sensation, very much as if I were juggling a couple of sticks of dynamite.” He addressed what were apparently numerous complaints of unfair grades from members, and defended the system of government grading. “Manitoba 1 Northern, 2 Northern or 3 Northern is a trademark, backed by the Dominion of Canada, and when a miller or importer buys Canadian wheat he is buying the guaranteed article.” Some farmers around Birtle had complained about discounts on Axminister wheat, which they said had good yield and quality. Mahoney explained that this was a white spring variety, so it had to be discounted at 30 cents a bushel under Marquis. A report from United Livestock Growers in Winnipeg said Toronto hog prices were still too high to be justified by the current bacon market in England. Prices were quoted on the basis of 88 to 92 shillings per hundredweight. In the cattle market, the British market was out of the question, with no immediate likelihood of Canadian shipments being resumed. But things looked better for the U.S. market, which had recently reached an all-time high of $16.90/cwt.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Ritz leaves lasting legacy The colourful and often controversial agriculture minister undoubtedly left his mark BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

n time Gerry Ritz will receive his due for his accomplishments as federal agriculture minister, an eight-year stint that marked the agrifood sector’s emergence from obscurity to growing recognition as a powerhouse of the Canadian economy. Although Ritz handily held his riding in the 2015 election and switched to being international trade critic, being in opposition after a long run as a cabinet minister is not easy. Especially when your party could be out of power for at least two more years and, judging by the polls, even longer. So like a number of other members of the former Conservative cabinet, Ritz has moved on — but it’s not likely we’ve heard the last of him. His retirement as MP for the Saskatchewan riding of BattlefordsLloydminster came after 20 busy years in politics including serving as the Opposition agriculture critic and chairman of the Commons agriculture committee, culminating in his 2007 appointment as agriculture minister. It was in early 2008 that international food agencies warned of a looming global grain shortage triggering a rise in international grain prices that brought long-overdue prosperity to the agriculture sector. In his time he introduced legislation that wound up the Canadian Wheat Board, played a leading role in encouraging Europe to negotiate a free trade deal with Canada, worked

Unlike most of his cabinet colleagues, Ritz always remained approachable to members of the media and the public.

hard for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal and led the protracted fight against the American COOL legislation. He travelled extensively promoting Canadian agri-food exports, the equivalent of circling the globe numerous times. He played a major role in legislation to improve rail transportation of grain and undertaking a serious review of the Canada Transportation Act, which led to the Emerson Report that provided the blueprint for the Liberal government’s Transport 2030 plans W h e n F i n a n c e Mi n i s t e r Bi l l Morneau announced in the spring budget the government’s goal of boosting agri-food exports to $75 billion by 2025, Ritz deserved no small credit for helping the stage. Ritz noted in an interview that Canada’s agri-food trade grew 77 per cent to the current $55 billion during his time in the portfolio. “It’s just a tremendous success story with more to be done.” Unlike most of his cabinet colleagues, Ritz always remained approachable to members of the media and the public. He has a marvellous sense of humour includ-

ing his controversial quip during a conference of government officials during the 2008 listeriosis crisis, which he said was “like a death by a thousand cuts. Or should I say cold cuts.” When told someone had died in Prince Edward Island, he asked if it was Liberal MP and farm spokesman Wayne Easter, a persistent critic of Conservative policies. Even Easter laughed when asked about the comment. Jeff Neilsen, president of Grain Growers of Canada, said Ritz has had a lasting impact on Canadian agriculture. “From his tireless efforts to expand markets for our products around the world, to fulfilling his promise to western Canadian farmers, marketing freedom for their wheat and barley by ending the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly, he is one of the most respected and effective ministers of my time. As a farmer himself, Gerry was always available because he truly understood the needs of our industry.” Chris Kyte, president of Food Processors of Canada, said, “Ritz was one of the most capable and articulate agriculture ministers this country

has ever produced. He was a tough task master and demanded much from the bureaucracy — I am sure that the bureaucracy was happy to see him go after the last election.” Carla Ventin, vice-president of Food and Consumer Products of Canada, said Ritz “was dedicated to growing the agriculture industry and recognized the important role that food manufacturers play for thousands of Canadian farmers and communities across the country.” Conservative MP Randy Hoback from Prince Albert said Ritz “made the lives of Canadian farmers better and brought about the structural change needed to make agriculture a profitable and lucrative career for Canadians young and old. The marketing freedom that he secured for wheat and barley, in addition to the many trade agreements that he helped negotiate, have enabled young entrepreneurs to embrace agriculture again. Fellow Conservative MP David Anderson from Grasslands said Ritz’s successes as agriculture minister “have changed Canadian agriculture for the better and will be long lasting... He led more than 30 trade missions, which resulted in dozens of free trade agreements with various countries.” With a legacy like that, Ritz’s mark will remain in Ottawa and across the country for many years. Alex Binkley writes about national agriculture issues for the Manitoba Co-operator from Ottawa.

Proposed tax changes for corporations poorly structured The current proposals will stifle business and create unfairness BY TERRY FEHR Co-operator contributor

n July the prime minister of Canada and the federal finance minister introduced proposals that, if enacted, will fundamentally change how small business in Canada operates. Since that unveiling of proposals, debate on the merits of each point has been impassioned. Debate has since polarized along ideological dogma. Canadian society must decide where they wish small business to be and what role it is to play in our future. Canada was built by entrepreneurs investing their ingenuity and physical effort to get ahead in a new nation. As a nation, we have done a complete “180” from that time. Today small businesses (many are incorporated) that make up 98 per cent of firms in Canada and 88 per cent of private employment growth nationwide have been called tax cheats and utilizing “loopholes” to circumvent taxes. This is a stark change over the past century. We need to understand and appreciate that small business creates wealth for all Canadians while government recycles and redistributes it. Without small business we would have

a shortage of wealth for government to redistribute. We should encourage wealth creation by small business for our collective well-being. Proposals put forth would curb income splitting with family members of Canadian controlled private corporations (CCPC) and curb passive investments in CCPCs. There appear to be more CCPCs being formed in recent years due to an expanding economy and a widening tax rate between personal and the small-business rate. The proposal to curb income splitting would require a family member to prove their worth to the CCPC before a dividend could be paid. A spouse who has an off-farm job may not qualify despite being a shareholder in the farm business. The decision will be left to CRA to determine if the dividend paid is “reasonable.” I cannot imagine who among us wishes to prove to CRA our family member actually did contribute to the business. If there are abuses let’s stop them while leaving legitimate businesses alone by limiting dividends by age of shareholder. Completely absent in this debate is the recognition of risk in the management of a CCPC. Risk is priced into every market. It exists whether we recognize it or not. If a person is a higher risk to lend money to, the lender

demands a higher interest rate. There must be a premium available for someone to take the risk of beginning a business; a chance to do well and earn more than would normally be available by working for a wage. If that premium is taxed away, (curbing passive investing) then the elevated risk is no longer worth the effort. Who then do we work for? This proposal is valuing risk at zero, an illogical situation. To clarify the concept of passive investments in a CCPC, we need to understand that, if small business earns a profit there are choices a manager has for that profit. Either a wage could be paid to the manager/owner (they always get paid last and only if there is a profit), new equipment could be invested in or the profit could be retained in the company. Profit retained by the company would attract taxation at the small-business tax rate. The after tax money is either paid out to shareholders as a

dividend or invested passively for use in future to cover operating costs or any number of expenses that occur even if there is no profit (including maternity leave, medical insurance, vacation time, statutory holiday pay, sick time) none of which are part of the self-employed pay package. Let us be clear: any wage or dividend paid out to an employee or shareholder faces that person’s marginal tax rate. Any passive investment income inside the CCPC faces the highest marginal tax rate which in Manitoba is 50.4 per cent. Anyone with a personal taxable income below $202,800 would have every incentive to pay out dividends from a CCPC to avoid the high tax rate (50.4 per cent) inside the CCPC. Tax integration ensures passive income received within a CCPC and paid out to a shareholder will be taxed at the same rate as if received by that shareholder on investments held outside a CCPC. Curbing passive investing in a CCPC is problematic as without surplus cash available, what happens in a poor year? After a number of years and a profitable business, retained earnings may accumulate providing a source of funding for expansion or for the owner’s retirement. Changing the rules

to affect retained earnings and the return on them after decades of planning is unfair to those retiring or nearing retirement and will cause many CCPCs to be collapsed. The proposal to affect passive investing in a CCPC should be scrapped, or simply eliminate the small-business tax rate entirely. There is a problem with income splitting by too many Canadians within the CCPC structure and that should be dealt with to ensure fairness in the tax system. Triple taxation of dividend capital passively invested (eliminating refundable dividend tax) is outrageous, punitive and entirely unnecessary. Tax law already provides strong incentive to pay out passive income from a CCPC. The proposals as they stand make establishing a new corporation questionable from the outset, although new businesses would benefit from the corporate structure by limiting personal liability. If a wage earner feels the selfemployed incorporated business owner is the panacea they search for, then establish your own business. Go for it, and find out for yourself.

While the results won’t be immediate for some agri-food sectors, the agreement presents the potential to drive additional exports of up to $1.5 billion per year, Innes said. “This includes $600 million in beef, $400 million in pork, $100 million in grains and oilseeds, $100 million in sugar-containing products and a further $300 million in processed foods, fruits and vegetables,” he said. Chris White, president and CEO of the Canadian Meat Council, said that critical technical barriers to increased meat shipments to Europe still have to be resolved. One provision pertains to the location at which the EU health mark label is applied to boxes of meat. This could be resolved quickly in Canada, he said. The other issue involves antimicrobials used to treat livestock. The meat industry and the Canadian government “are collaborating on supplemental

It is the most progressive trade agreement ever negotiated by both parties, confirming the sovereign right of governments to regulate in the public interest and reinforcing strong environmental and labour protections.”

waterhemp Continued from page 1

Jeanette Gaultier

Mature waterhemp plants tend to be more branched than redroot pigweed. And unlike redroot pigweed, which has male and female flowers on the same plant, waterhemp has separate male and female plants, the site says. Waterhemp inflorescence (complete flower head, including stems, stalks, bracts, and flowers) are long, slender and vary in colour compared with the compact, prickly inflorescence of redroot pigweed.

A second case of waterhemp has been found in Manitoba, this time in the RM of Rhineland. The first case was found last fall in the RM of Tache. It’s a concern not only because it’s a new weed for Manitoba, but because in places in Ontario and the United States waterhemp is often resistant to glyphosate, Group 2 herbicides, or both.

ing concern from weed specialists and agronomists, who say in many parts of Ontario and the U.S. the plants are resistant to glyphosate, Group 2 herbicides, or both. Waterhemp, which resembles redroot pigweed and is in the same family, was first found in a Manitoba soybean field in the RM of Tache last fall. The latest discovery is in the RM of Rhineland, Manitoba Agriculture weed specialist Jeanette Gaultier said in an interview Sept. 20. While it’s unclear how the waterhemp seeds got there, goose droppings is one theory. “You just have a few plants in one spot,” Gaultier said. North Dakota State University has been investigating whether waterhemp is spread by geese that eat the seeds. Although disappointing, the discovery isn’t unexpected, given waterhemp has been spreading north through North Dakota and Minnesota, she said. Plants from both Manitoba municipalities are being tested for herbicide resistance. “I would say we should be treating all waterhemp as if it’s Group 2 and glyphosate resistant,” Gaultier said. “The fact that they were both found in Roundup Ready soybean fields at the end of the season makes them fairly suspect, I would say.” Early in the season waterhemp can be easily mistaken for redroot pigweed, she said. However, waterhemp has a distinctive seed head. The plant is often tall and will grow higher than the soybean crop, which is what probably drew the farmers’ attention to them, Gaultier said. “I don’t even know if people will start noticing it until later (in the growing season),” she said. “It often comes up a little bit later, so that also makes it a little harder to deal with.” And like redroot pigweed, waterhemp can produce a lot of seed. “If it doesn’t have a lot of competition, and under ideal conditions, it can produce upward of a million seeds,” Gaultier said. If farmers encounter suspicious weeds they should contact their local Manitoba Agriculture office, she added. Both redroot pigweed and waterhemp thrive in agricultural fields where they compete with crops for nutrients, moisture and light, Manitoba Agriculture’s website says. Waterhemp has no hairs on its stem or leaves, which can be used to distinguish it from redroot pigweed when plants are small, she wrote. The lack of hairs give waterhemp leaves a ‘glossy’ look unlike that of the ‘dull’ green leaves of redroot pigweed. Also, waterhemp leaves are lanceolate in shape (longer than they are wide) compared to the more ovate leaves of redroot pigweed. Colour is not a reliable identifying characteristic since both species can be green, red or variations of the two colours.

“If it doesn’t have a lot of competition, and under ideal conditions, it can produce upward of a million seeds.”

anitoba cattle auctions are gearing up for a busy fall run following a slow summer with feedlots coming off eight to 10 months of successive profits. Feeder cattle prices were fully steady to a bit higher during the week ended Sept. 22 with more than 9,000 animals being sold at the province’s eight major auction yards. Yearling steers saw good returns with some 800-pound animals bringing in prices near the $200-per-hundredweight mark. Herb Lock of Farm$ense Marketing in Edmonton said the brighter financial picture at feedlots brings an overall sense of optimism to the marketplace, especially as it compares with the previous year when the fall run followed eight to 10 months of consecutive losses. “This week, we expect to handle 100,000 calves ( Western Canada-wide). It’s just exploded out of the gate,” he said, adding a good portion were for late-October or earlyNovember delivery. “The calf prices are up probably $25/cwt from a year ago. So there’s nothing wrong with that.” Lock said he has seen few yearlings arrive at auction sooner than usual as some analysts predicted following extreme dry conditions in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Most of Manitoba and central and northern parts of the Prairies have enough moisture to keep pastures productive and provide ample feed, he said. While Lock said some yearlings in the north moved early, most of those were sold in June and July for late-August/September delivery.

Herb Lock Farm$ense Marketing

Yearling prices were sitting around $1.85-$2/ lb., which is probably not too far off what producers paid for them last fall, he said. “So they get to put on 500 lbs. at ($1.85 or $1.90). They’d think they’d died and gone to heaven.” If there were price pressure points, he said, it would be on calves around 550 lbs., those destined for feedlots next spring. Some producers got burned with low returns on overwintered calves last spring, so they may be reluctant to wade in again. On the upside, Lock said he has seen some light calves in the 400-lb. range sell for $2.50/lb. “One of the front-and-centre issues is that our fed cattle here are operating somewhere in that three to five cents above the value they are landed in Nebraska. “We’re floating a foot and a half off the water, enjoying the action,” Lock said. Normally, western Canadian cattle sell for six to eight cents below the Nebraska landed value, he added. South of the border, packers were low on slaughter-ready cattle last week, which caused prices to take a turn higher late in the week.

U.S. cattle placements spike in August BY MICHAEL HIRTZER Reuters

Ranchers placed 1.93 million cattle in U.S. feedlots in August, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Sept. 22, in a strongerthan-expected report that was seen as likely to weigh on futures as the market digested the information. Cattle placements rose about three per cent from August in 2016, USDA said. Analysts polled by Reuters had predicted a decline of nearly three per cent. The placements were

the largest for August since 2012 and the largest overall since May of this year, when 2.119 million cattle moved into feedlots, according to USDA data. “It means there’s more beef ahead of us,” said Linn Group analyst John Ginzel, who had predicted a placement spike of 104.3 per cent when most other analysts anticipated a decline. Cattle placed on feed in August should reach slaughter weight in the first quarter of 2018. “It’s a negative report... and most negative for the February and April time slots,” said U.S. Commodities analyst Don Roose. Roose predicted Chicago Mercantile Exchange cattle futures would open as

much as a cent lower (all figures U.S. funds) as a result of the report. USDA said a total of 10.5 million cattle were on feed as of Sept. 1, up four per cent from a year ago. That also was more than pre-report estimates for 10.409 million cattle, or 102.7 per cent of last year. Marketings of cattle in August totalled 1.98 million head, up six per cent from a year ago but near forecasts for an increase of 5.8 per cent. In a separate monthly cold storage report, USDA said 476.26 million pounds of beef were in storage as of Aug. 31. That is up from 431.84 million pounds at the end of July and estimates from a few analysts for 426.5 million pounds.

Minneapolis wheat suggests protein will be in short supply Phil Franz-Warkentin CNSC

CE Futures Canada canola contracts trended higher for the past two weeks, despite seasonal harvest pressure, although the bigger picture remains sideways and rangebound. The November contract briefly traded above the 200-day moving average of $497 per tonne on Sept. 22, on the back of some fund buying triggered by a rally in Chicago soybeans. However, that key chart point held as resistance, and the contract finished the week closer to its 20-day average, at $494.80 per tonne. The contract finds itself right in the middle of a broad range from about $475-$525 per tonne. The canola harvest saw setbacks in Alberta during the week, with cool and wet conditions including snow in some cases. However, farmers continued to make good progress elsewhere across the Prairies, and the market remains focused on a large crop. Producer deliveries into the commercial pipeline topped half a million tonnes for the third straight week in the latest Canadian Grain Commission data, which should leave end-users with little reason to bid up the market. Statistics Canada on Sept. 19 released an updated model-based production estimate that uses satellite imagery, rather than farmer surveys, to gauge the size of the crop. The modelbased number for canola, 19.7 million tonnes, would be a new record, and compares with the August survey of 18.2 million. While that’s already a large number, many analysts are still looking

higher, pencilling a ‘20’ in their supply/demand calculations. However, even with a record-large crop, world demand for oilseeds remains strong as well and any production issues elsewhere in the world could provide the spark that would break canola out of its sideways range. The U.S. soybean harvest is just getting started, while South American farmers will soon be seeding their next soybean crop. Early U.S. soybean yields reports are beating expectations, but only four per cent of the crop was in the bin in the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture report. In South America, traders are watching dry conditions in Brazil and excessive moisture in Argentina, with both extremes likely to cut into the crop prospects. With actual U.S. yields still up in the air as the harvest progresses, traders may be reluctant to push soybeans or corn too far one way or the other. In wheat markets, futures trended higher over the course of the week, with the Minneapolis spring wheat contracts outpacing the Chicago and Kansas City winter wheats to the upside. Concerns over tightening supplies of higher-protein wheat accounted for some of the relative strength in Minneapolis, while relatively favourable winter wheat seeding conditions in the southern U.S. Plains limited the upside in those contracts. Reports of large Russian wheat supplies also weighed on prices to some extent, although those big crops were countered by dryness concerns in Australia and the excessive moisture in Argentina.

Wheat bids improve in Western Canada as loonie dips MGEX December spring wheat was up 13.25 U.S. cents a bushel from the previous week BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN CNS Canada

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada moved higher during the week ended Sept. 22, as gains in Minneapolis futures and weakness in the Canadian dollar provided support. Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) 13.5 per cent wheat prices were up by $2 to $3 per tonne across the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of delivery points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes).

tion to location, but generally held steady to range from about $9 per tonne below the futures to $9 above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollardenominated futures and Canadian dollar cash bids. When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$181 to US$197 per tonne, unchanged on a U.S. dollar

basis on the week. That would put the currency-adjusted basis levels at about US$36 to US$52 below the futures. Looking at it the other way around, if the Minneapolis futures are converted to Canadian dollars, CWRS basis levels across Western Canada range from $44 to $64 below the futures. Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were up by anywhere from $1 to $16 per tonne, with prices ranging from $166 to $182 per tonne. Average durum prices held relatively

steady, with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $264 to $267 per tonne. The December spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted Sept. 22 at US$6.3475 per bushel, up 13.25 U.S. cents from the previous week. Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, which are now traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The December K.C. wheat contract was quoted at US$4.5025 per bushel on Sept. 22, up 4.25 U.S. cents compared to the previous week. The December Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled at US$4.495 on Sept. 22, up 0.5 U.S. cent on the week. The Canadian dollar settled Sept. 22 at 81.19 U.S. cents, down roughly one cent on the week.

Opening eyes with Open Farm Day Manitoba’s agriculture industry opened to the public Sept. 17 for the 14th annual Open Farm Day BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

arm work doesn’t stop when it rains, and neither did the province’s Open Farm Day Sept. 17. The 14th annual event, run by the Manitoba Association of Agricultural Societies, opened 46 venues on schedule this year despite a rainy, cold forecast in several regions. “We’ve had excellent feedback from the host sites that were involved,” co-ordinator Wendy Bulloch said. “Some of them were disappointed. I guess I would say a small amount of them were disappointed because of the attendance, but we attribute that to the weather.” Other locations, however, reported higher-than-average participation. T h e B r u c e D. C a m p b e l l Fa r m a n d Fo o d Di s c ove r y Centre in Glenlea, a longstanding staple of the program given its proximity to Winnipeg, saw 682 visitors, the centre’s manager, Myrna Grahn, said, up from last year when about 500 made the trip. About 26 volunteers and six staff were needed to handle the influx. “It definitely is a big deal,” Grahn said. “That’s the highest number of people we’ve ever had here in one day.” The centre normally draws between 60-70 per day during university or corporate events, 120 per day through summer daycare groups or up to 350 per day during Agriculture in the Classroom’s Amazing Agriculture Adventure.

Group effort T h e c e n t re was a hub for commodity groups like Ma n i t o b a Po r k , Ma n i t o b a Egg Farmers, the Manitoba Canola Growers, Manitoba Beef Producers and the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers during this year’s Open Farm Day, as well as a travelling canola exhibit from the Canadian Agriculture and Food Museum in Ottawa. Piglets were also on display, while dairy cows, laying hens and chicks, a demonstration b e e h i ve a n d t ra c t o r t o u r s rounded out the schedule. “It was actually quite exciting. One sow was farrowing when our guests were here, so they got to see piglets being born,” Grahn said. To the west, the Farmery Estate Brewery in Neepawa got attention as the only b re w e r y o n t h e s c h e d u l e while, farther west, Hunter Family Farm drew about 200 visitors, well over the 120 the Rapid City venue welcomed last year. Attendees drove from nearby Brandon, Ann Hunter said, noting an uptick in ethnic groups looking for a taste of rural Manitoba although more locals from Rapid City and Rivers also attended. “We also had a busload of international students from Brandon University too,” she said. “They went to Neepawa first to the Farmery Brewery and then they came here.”

New experience Some of the visiting children and adults had never been on a farm before, she added. “It was a good feeling that you’d given something to people that they didn’t necessarily have access to,” she said. “We take it for granted, living on a farm, but when you stop and think, most people in a town, unless they’ve got relatives (on a farm), just don’t have the opportunity.” Hunter partly attributed the attendance jump to expanded promotion efforts. She has previously brought brochures to local farmers’ markets, but branched out to schools this year. Little has changed since the mixed farm first joined Open Farm Day several years ago, the Hunters said, although wagon ride turkey tours were added last year. Horse grooming, sheep shearing, equipment displays all returned to the schedule, as well as the L i t t l e Sa s k a t c h e w a n R i ve r Conser vation District. The farm has typically invited the district to highlight projects and integrate activities like critter dipping. “It’s sort of showing where agriculture is trying to work with the conservation people,

rather than working against each other — trying to find common ground to work with, and we thought that was a good thing to show to the public,” Colin Hunter said. Kim Dyck of Hundredfold Farms said she was also pleasantly surprised at the day’s turnout. It was the first year she and her husband have hosted with their alpaca farm near Stephenfield, Man. “We were actually asked to do it by a neighbour who was also participating for the first year and she tried to get a few farms in the area so that if people came out they’d have a few places to go see,” she said. About 120 people visited the farm, ranging from Pe m b i n a Va l l e y l o c a l s t o groups from Winnipeg and across the international border into North Dakota. Attendance was less dense in the north.

Weather woes Despite being one of the only bison operations on the schedule, normally a draw as both rural and urban residents jump on the chance to get close to the iconic animals, Overby Bison saw only 60 visitors, something Ken Overby attributes to the weather.

It is the four th year the ranch west of Teulon has put its stock on display, running hour-long tours through the herd. Questions about the species are common, Overby said, ranging from the breed’s winter hardiness, to hair coats, shedding and grazing habits. “I do tell them about our rotational grazing program and our bale grazing program in the wintertime and usually go through the life cycle of the bison on our ranch sort of from conception to consumer, and then I talk quite a bit about the grass and how we’re actually harvesting the sun and how bison are very good converters of our natural grass that occurs here on our marginal land,” he said. Despite the less than re c o rd - b re a k i n g n u m b e r s, Overby said visitors ranged widely in both age and geography, with some driving the hour from Winnipeg. Both the Hunters and Overby noted several return attendees from last year.

Wide support Organizers are still waiting for final visitor estimates, Bulloch said, but noted the wide range of sectors represented this year.

Three sheep farms, a honey farm, a number of orchards or U-pick operations, beef and dairy farms, chicken barns, a range of mixed farms, five museums (including St. C l a u d e’s M a n i t o b a D a i r y Museum, which drew 175 visitors to the small town an hour west of Winnipeg), conservation districts and research farms were among the event’s cross-section. The Manitoba Association of Agricultural Societies ramped up promotion efforts this year, including a concerted push on social media. The event’s Facebook page boosted advertisements and showcased host sites in the weeks leading up to Open Farm Day, while the site was later used to share pictures, answer questions and distribute news such as schedule changes. “For us to just manage all the different social media pieces, it’s a little hard, so we just focused on Facebook t h i s y e a r,” B u l l o c h s a i d . “We wanted to really push Facebook and we were actually quite pleased at the reach.” The program will likely give more attention to its Twitter account next year, she added. astockford@farmmedia.com

Hog production faces opposing ideologies Hog Watch holds events opposing legislative changes, Manitoba Pork responds BY SHANNON VANRAES

“... we want animal care, we want food safety, we want environmental protection, we want workplace health and safety and if a producer is not doing that, he will hear from us.”

Co-operator staff

anitoba’s pork industry found itself treading on hostile ground this past week, at the University of Winnipeg. Manitoba Pork Council chairman George Matheson stood up at a Hog Watch Manitoba event last week to refute some of the claims made by the activist group, including assertions that hog production is inhumane and poorly regulated. “Gestation stalls, let’s talk about that,” he told the 100 or so people gathered at the university’s Eckhardt Grammatte Hall. “There’s a regulation, come 2024, that gestation stalls will not be allowed to be used in Canada in the future. I realize that is seven years away — the change will take half a billion dollars to do, so these things will not happen overnight.” The chairman added he favours the eradication of gestation stalls and noted some very large hog producers have already successfully moved to loose sow housing, before emphasizing the stringent regulations Manitoba pork producers must adhere to. “Regulations that aren’t followed very often,” according to Janine Gibson, a Hog Watch board member and chair of the Organic Food Council of Manitoba, who challenged Matheson on the issue as he spoke. “There are always going to be regulations set and people who unfortunately do not follow them,” Matheson responded. “But I’ll tell you this... the group of hog producers that we have in Manitoba that are on the board of directors, we want animal care, we want food safety, we want environmental protection, we want workplace health and safety and if a producer is not doing that, he will hear from us.”

‘Day of action’ The exchange followed a day of action by Hog Watch, which first formed in 1999 with the aim of monitoring the expansion of Manitoba’s hog industry. After a moratorium on new hog barns was introduced by the previous NDP government the group disbanded. Now, proposed amendments to the Environment Act under Bill 24 — other-

wise known as the Red Tape Reduction and Government Efficiency Act — have breathed fresh life into Hog Watch, which is concerned about a possible weakening of environmental protections. The group is also concerned about rural depopulation, food security, intensive livestock production, exportbased economies and other government policies as they relate to the pork industry, with members repeatedly expressing the fear that pending legislative changes will allow for the winter spreading of manure in Manitoba. “It’s not an accusation at this point that farmers are spreading in the winter, but we have a great deal of concern about why it would be removed from the Environment Act, even though it’s in regulations somewhere else, because it’s much easier to change regulations without a lot of public scrutiny,” said Vicky Burns, founder of the Save Lake Winnipeg Project and Hog Watch member. That fear is unfounded, said a spokesperson for Manitoba Sustainable Development. “ Winter application of manure will continue to be prohibited for all livestock o p e ra t i o n s i n Ma n i t o b a under the Livestock Manure and Mortalities Management Regulation. The act and the regulation currently duplicate this requirement,” they said. “The Livestock Manure and Mortalities Management Regulation will continue to require all operators to have manure storage facility permits, prohibit winter spreading of manure, and require

annual submission and approval of manure management plans.” But even without winter manure spreading, Hog Watch believes expanding pork production is a threat to the province’s rural communities and waterways. “In Manitoba we have a number of sources for nitrogen and phosphorus,” said Eva Pip, a retired biology professor who spoke at Hog Watch’s “Pork and Pollution from Land to Lake” event in Winnipeg. “In rural Manitoba factory farms have become a ubiquitous sight… and many of them are at unbelievable density, for example in Hanover municipality, which is completely supersaturated now with hog barns,” she said. Pip added that while all types of intensive livestock production contribute to nutrient run-off, hog operations create a disproportionate impact on the environment. “When you have thousands of animals in a very small area, they generate a lot of waste and pigs are especially prolific in terms of the amount of waste that they produce,” she said.

Hot topic How much of a role intensive livestock operations and hog farms in particular have played in dictating water quality in Manitoba has been hotly debated over the last decade. “The challenge with Lake Winnipeg phosphorus loading is that it is coming from a lot of small contributors distributed across the whole watershed and not just from one major source,” said

Don Flaten, a University of Manitoba professor who has studied the issue. “There’s not one major scapegoat that could be blamed for the lake’s problems.” He acknowledged that nutrient management can be a bigger challenge with larger livestock operations, but added they can also create opportunities for producers to install more sophisticated manure management systems due to the economies of scale. Larger operations also tend to attract more attention and oversight from regulators, Flaten said. If passed, Bill 24 will effectively end the so-called moratorium on new hog barn construction in Manitoba by eliminating requirements that new barns process manure using an anaerobic digester, although some in the industry have indicated most hog producers aren’t in economic circumstances allowing them to embark on expansion projects. “Our government has chosen to stop singling out hog farmers from other livestock producers and saddling them with unfair barriers that limit growth and development,” said Rochelle Squires, provincial minister of sustainable development. “We have proposed changes that will end Manitoba’s hog barn moratorium and reduce unnecessary red tape while maintaining strong environmental protection and enforcement.” But the minister emphasized that hog farmers will still have to submit manure management plans, provide soil samples and obtain building code approvals.

“I would also note that a report produced by University of Manitoba experts in 2014, which was commissioned by the previous government, had found the anaerobic digestion system to be unnecessary, elaborate, and costly,” she said.

Different views Matheson believes that much of the disagreement over hog production in the province stems from diametrically opposed world views. “To tell you the truth, I think a lot of them come from a vegetarian background, I think a lot of them are animal rights activists and they realize that they can’t get a lot of traction out of society in regards to those two issues,” he said. “I think they feel that if they can try and pin some environment irregularities on us then they can get society backing them as far as making production in our industry difficult.” Matheson took the opportunity to ask Pip, who noted she doesn’t eat pork or beef, what would have to change to make hog production acceptable to her. “The intensive confinement operations, those are an issue, it is not the smaller producers, the farmers who have their hogs on pasture… the hoop barn type of production, those are much more sustainable, they are much more environmentally friendly, it is the confined animal feeding operations that are the problem because they generate enormous amounts of waste on a very small amount of land,” she said. “I’m not against hog production, per se, if the animals are produced humanely and sustainably.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

4-H beef program aims at breeding over butchering A small number of 4-H’ers in the Interlake are turning their heifer projects into purebred herds “Now the kids are able to sell heifers. They’re able to sell purebred bulls.”

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

t’s all about the ladies at Ashern’s Lakeside 4-H Beef Club. Unlike other clubs, and their focus on finishing cattle for market, this group is concentrating on breeding heifers, and senior members are aging out with a purebred herd already in hand as a result. Steers, ordinarily a 4-H staple, are in the minority, making up only two projects out of the club’s 10-12 regular members, according to Ross Jermey, a veteran 4-H leader with 20 years of experience. “Everybody likes to win the steer show, but unfortunately, that money is spent and quite often nothing is tangible out of it,” Jermey said. He argues that breedingfocused heifer projects create deeper, longer-lasting ties to the farm that are harder to dislodge when a former 4-H’er leaves for university or work. Those ties help retain an active role in the farm when many are opting for off-farm careers and those who are interested in agriculture face an uphill battle, with high land prices and capital investment costs, he said. “They have breeding season for these heifers, initially. They have a calving time. They watch their calves grow. They help make winter feed. They’re more connected to the farm and it’s easier for them to go out and, I find with our kids, they’re always wanting to go now and check the cows because they have an attachment to the cow herd,” Jermey said. All three of his children, now ranging from Grade 11 to university age, have built small herds of eight to 10 females, drawn largely from their former 4-H projects. His youngest son, Will, is the only remaining child in 4-H, while both 21-year-old Jennifer, now an education student at Brandon University, and 19-year-old Chris, enrolled in the University of Manitoba’s preveterinary program, have turned to their cattle to help fund their education.

genetics, either frozen or live, 4-H is just a small way to be able to show those genetics off. Having a heifer, you get to learn the responsibilities of taking a bred heifer and then later on taking her to calf and then getting something out of the end of it, whether you’re selling progeny for breeding stock or whether you’re just going to sell the progeny to go to the auction mart and then later on go into the feedlot and then later the food chain.” Steer programs, alternately, teach how to maximize meat quality and develop end product, he added. “With the steers, you learn how to properly feed cattle,” McIntosh said. “Steers have to be fed third rations to be able to be finished in time — and as finished, I mean, have the right fat cover and the right weight in order to be able to be killed and hung up for quality carcasses and it has to be done in a timely manner because there is the show date and usually the steers are killed within 10 to 14 days after that show date.”

The Eriksdale breeder ran simultaneous steer and heifer projects each year during his decade in the club. Eight times, McIntosh returned one of his females to the ring alongside a calf.

Herd foundation By the time he left 4-H near the end of high school, McIntosh had the backbone of what is now a 45-head purebred and commercial herd. “A large asset to me was when my family did disperse their cattle in 2008, I did have my own herd of cattle to retain so I could still stay in 4-H and participate,” he said. “That’s a big asset with being able to show not just steers but heifers as well. You get something to show for it two, three, four, 10 years down the road. I still have some of my first 4-H females still in production today and they’re pushing 12-13 years old.” The club has seen similar stories from a number of former members, Jermey said. Some have gone into breeding pro-

Skill shift The club maintains core 4-H skills such as public speaking or youth leadership — aspects common to every 4-H club regardless of focus — but is branching out from other beef clubs. Members learn how to plan breeding, navigate the genetics market rather than the meat market, explore reproductive technology and evaluate for hereditary traits. In the same vein, the club offers artificial insemination services to members. “They can select the best bulls in the industry to use and just improve the females that they have and stack genetics and that’s what we’ve seen some of these kids do with heifer projects,” Jermey said. Kolton McIntosh, an alumni of the program and Simmental breeder, says he sees the benefit in both heifer and steer programs. “The way I see it, the purpose of it is to start off with one female and then to expand,” he said. “Whether it’s purchasing new genetics or buying new

fessionally, while some work off farm while maintaining their animals or, like his own eldest children, attend school. The herds have been longtime projects for all three Jermey children. During their first school years, Jermey promised his children a bred Angus heifer for every 5,000 book pages they read, a promise that backfired, he now laughingly admits, when the avid readers not only met that goal every year, but in some cases doubled it. “We would let them pick the heifers, but what we were doing is when they were coming out and helping us feed and things and we’d be walking through the heifers all the time, I’d always be pointing out, ‘Boy that’s quite a heifer there. She’s probably the best one in the pen,’ so we were giving them, actually, our best purebred heifers to use as 4-H projects to be the foundation of their little herds,” he said, using the example of one former 4-H animal which is now a foundation stone for his daughter’s

herd and is being considered for embryo transfer. After raising and showing the animal, attention turned to breeding traits for the next generation. “ We would have all the semen, AI (artificial insemination) catalogues and we’d have a list of bulls that we were maybe interested in using and I would narrow it up for them,” Jermey said. All three siblings are active members of the Canadian Junior Angus Association and have garnered awards and scholarships outside of 4-H for their work as breeders. 4-H hopes to embrace more “outside-the-box” thinking on beef. Shannon Carvey, Manitoba 4-H Council club support coordinator, hopes recent changes will expand 4-H to more sectors of beef production. The provincial body integrated a “Pick a Topic” option into beef program manuals this year. “My personal opinion, and I think we’re kind of all on the same page at 4-H, is that we’re missing out on a big group of kids that like beef farming, but don’t necessarily enjoy the showing part of it,” she said. The Ashern club’s programming may fit under the new option, Carvey said, along with other experimental beef projects, such as a group feeding project brought forward by the Stoney Creek Beef Club near Hartney last year. T h e n e w d i re c t i o n m a y require a different end-of-year achievement, since most beef projects culminate in a show, she added. astockford@farmmedia.com

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

Mild and dry weather returns Issued: Monday, September 25, 2017 · Covering: September 27 – October 4, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

ver the last week or so we saw our first period of unsettled wet weather in a long time. The forecasted system brought some late-season thunderstorms to several regions late last Friday. We then saw another area of light rainfall move through on Sunday. This second system was forecast to stay well to our south, but a stronger-thanexpected area of high pressure to our east forced the system to take a more northerly track. For this forecast period, it looks like we are going to move back into a warm and dry pattern, which should help to dry things out a little bit. The weather models show an area of high pressure beginning to build across central North America starting on Wednesday. This high will be centred over Manitoba on Thursday, bringing sunny skies and light winds. We will see the coolest temperatures on Thursday morning with overnight lows in the 2 to 4 C range. At this point it doesn’t look like we will see widespread frost, but a few isolated areas may see some freezing temperatures. The area of high pressure is then forecast to begin drifting off

to the southeast on Friday. This will place us in the warm southerly flow on the back side of the high. Temperatures will warm up a little each day, with daytime highs expected to be in the upper teens to low 20s by Saturday. Late in the weekend, the models show a weak area of low pressure sliding through central regions, bringing some clouds along with the odd scattered shower. Weak high pressure will build in once again early next week as an area of low pressure deepens to our west. The counter-clockwise flow around this low will continue to pull warm air into our region. Expect daytime highs to stay near the 20 C mark with overnight lows in the 7 to 10 C range. The western low is then forecast to track across the northern Prairies during the middle of the week. It currently looks like it will drag a cold front behind it, which will cool things down a # little bit before warmer air moves back in during the second half # of next week. Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 10 to 21 C; lows, -1 to +8 C. Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies during the two weeks ending Sept. 21. It has been a fairly wet period across agricultural Manitoba, with most regions recording more than 35 mm. Add in the significant rains that occurred last weekend and it is ending up as a pretty wet month.

Fall frosts and the frost-free season

The number on your thermometer may not accurately reflect what’s happening on the ground BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

very year around this time the weather discussion starts to centre around the first fall frost. Some years, when we see an early-fall frost, the topic is at the forefront of conversations. This year, with only a couple of locations experiencing a fall frost as of Sept. 25, there hasn’t been much discussion. The first question I’m usually asked about fall frost is when the different areas of agricultural Manitoba should expect to receive their first fall frost. To analyze this, we must first determine how frost is to be measured or recorded. The typical measurement we use to record whether or not frost has occurred is when the temperature recorded by a thermometer hits or falls below 0 C. As some of us have already had the unfortunate first-hand opportunity to realize, frost can occur even when the thermometer shows temperatures above the freezing mark. In fact, research has shown ground-level frost can occur at thermometer readings as high as +2 C, and in some cases, as high as +5 C! This can occur for a number of reasons, which largely depend

on where the thermometer is located. As most thermometers are placed above the ground, they record air temperature several feet above the ground and may not accurately reflect actual ground temperature. If you can remember back to previous discussions about frost, you may recall that air near the ground can cool to a greater degree than the air several feet above. The reason for this is that cold air is denser than warm air, so it tends to settle or flow to the lowest points. If the area is relatively flat, then the coldest air settles around the ground, resulting in groundlevel temperatures that are cooler than the air several feet above. While this is the norm, there are occasions when temperatures measured above the ground, at the level of the thermometer, are actually cooler than those recorded at ground or crop level. Also, as some of us have seen this year, a frost with temperatures near the freezing mark may not severely damage or kill a crop. It will often take temperatures lower than -2 C to kill off most crops. For these reasons we will look at a few different temperatures — namely, +2.0 C, 0.0 C, and -2.0 C — to determine when we may expect the first fall frost. Looking at the data for the

three main stations we obtain the results shown in Table 1. These are the average dates that these temperatures may be anticipated, based on the entire record of climate data for each location. Now, we need to remember that this is the average date and the standard deviation around these dates is somewhere around three to five days, depending on the location. This means that while most locations should not see any frost until early to mid-September, it would not be that unusual to see a frost in early September at most locations. So far this year, these three sites have not experienced a fall frost. In fact, looking at the data for all the agricultural sites I was only able to find six sites that have seen frost. Two of them (Moosehorn and Narcisse) are in the Interlake region, with the other four (Grandview, Minitonas, Rorketon and Swan Valley) in the northwest region. All these frosts occurred overnight from Sunday, Sept. 17 to Monday, Sept. 18. The next piece of frost data to look at is the length of the frost-free season. Last year most parts of the Prairies saw frost-free seasons that were a little bit longer than the longterm average. Winnipeg ended

up having the longest frost-free season, with a remarkable 144 days, which put it in the top 10 per cent. Listed in Table 2 is this year’s data, showing the dates for the last spring frost (LSF), first fall frost (FFF), and the length of the frost-free season (FFS). I have also included the 1981-2010 averages. The bold values indicate that the finals numbers are not yet in for this year. The final two columns give us a range of expected lengths for the frost-free season: the 90 per cent value means 90 per cent of

the time, we should have an FFS no shorter than this; the 10 per cent value means 10 per cent of the time we could see an FFS that long. Edmonton and Regina are the only two locations that had a shorter-than-average frost-free season, while Peace River has a much longer-than-average season thanks to an early LSF. For our region, all three major locations have now seen a longerthan-average frost-free season. The question is, just how long will it end up being?

CROPS Summer-like heat ripens U.S. crops By Karl Plume Reuters

Unseasonably hot U.S. weather is accelerating corn and soy crop maturity after months of concerns that lagging development could drag down yields or put some lateplanted acres at risk of damage from frost. Farmers around the U.S. Midwest are racing to harvest crops under mostly clear skies and temperatures more indicative of midsummer than early autumn, with highs in the 90s and 100s F (32-38 C) speeding up in-field grain drying. Cash bids at several elevators and processors around the Midwest weakened in anticipation of an influx of grain in the coming days and weeks, while costs for shipping supplies by barge to Gulf Coast export terminals are surging. The unseasonable heat is almost certain to add bumper bushels to an already burdensome global grain supply that has weighed down crop prices and pressured farm incomes for four years. The strong finish to the U.S. growing season comes after a cool, wet spring stalled planting and mild summer weather slowed crop development. “It’s been a really good harvest so far. Things definitely matured quicker with this heat,” said Kirk Liefer, a farmer in Red Bud, Illinois, who had the majority of his corn harvested. A key concern now for Liefer is getting soybeans that he grows for seed harvested quickly before the crop’s moisture drops too much. Drier soybeans can be lost in the field during harvesting and are more prone to cracking. The U.S. corn crop was just 34 per cent mature as of Sept. 17, more than eight points behind the prior 10-year mid-September average, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. “To have the highest temperatures for three days in a row in the second half of September is very strange,” said Emerson Nafziger, agronomist at the University of Illinois Extension. “This dry pattern is expected to continue for a while. People are happy.”

KAP concerned over unfilled weed specialist position Jeanette Gaultier, who had the position, left to work for BASF BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

eystone Agricultural Pro d u c e r s ( K A P ) w a n t s M a n i t o b a A g r i c u l t u re’s weed specialist position quickly filled. Jeanette Gaultier, who held the job for the last two years, left the position Sept. 20 to become BASF’s new senior technical service specialist for Manitoba starting Sept. 25. Previously Gaultier, who has a PhD in pesticides and soil science, was Manitoba Agriculture’s pesticide specialist working on minor use pesticide regulations and related topics. “In today’s environment the weed spectrum is changing,” KAP president Dan Mazier said in an interview Sept. 21. “There are weeds we are seeing that are resistant to our long-term arsenal and then there are the new weeds that are coming in. You can never have too much outreach on something like this.” The Manitoba government was vague about filling the weed specialist position when asked about it Sept. 21. In an emailed response a n o f f i c i a l s a i d : “M a n i t o b a Agriculture is currently utilizing expertise from across the department to support the role of weed specialist while we look at options for filling the position.” The province, which is looking for ways to cut its $764-million budget deficit, had not responded by press time to a request for clarification. However, industry observers said they expect the position to be filled given weed management is core to crop production. One industry official also noted the new Progressive Conservative government is filling Manitoba Agriculture vacancies faster than the previous administration, including recently filling the cereals specialist position.

“In today’s environment the weed spectrum is changing. There are weeds we are seeing that are resistant to our longterm arsenal and then there are the new weeds that are coming in. You can never have too much outreach on something like this.” Dan Mazier

“I wasn’t looking to leave (Manitoba Agriculture), but a great opportunity presented itself and it’s a good fit for my family where we’re at right now,” Gaultier said in an interview on her last day as weed specialist. “But I am not leaving because I dislike my job. The weed specialist, the pesticide specialist positions, have been great jobs. It sounds cliché but I’ve worked with

so many great people, including my colleagues here at Manitoba Agriculture. If anyone is interested in the position, keep their eye out because it’s a great place to work.” Gaultier, who has children and lives in rural Manitoba, said her new job is home based, giving here more flexibility. “I’ve never been actually able to put the kids on the bus or get them off the bus,” she said. “They’ve always gone to (a relative’s) place.” Mazier compared weed management to fire prevention — prevention is best. “It’s usually too late by the time the fire department gets there,” he said. With water entering Manitoba from the south and west, and with Manitoba on the flight path of migratory birds from the south, the province is susceptible to new weeds, Mazier said. “Something that’s going on in North Dakota or Minnesota can impact Manitoba’s agriculture,” he said “That’s why we need those positions.”

You know farming. We know corn.

From farm gate to China’s plates

Joining the Junior Team Canada mission to China provided invaluable opportunities to promote agriculture BY FIONA JOCHUM Co-operator contributor

his summer I decided to work full time on the family grain farm. But my summer plans took a turn when I applied for, and was selected to be a member of Junior Team Canada (JTC) trade mission to China. From July 26 to August 13 I joined 30 young Canadians, representing various industries, on a mission to promote Canadian businesses, foster cultural awareness, and build global relationships. The program that created this opportunity is called Global Vision and I was selected to represent Canada’s agriculture industry. Since returning home, I have had some time to reflect on my experience while bringing in the 2017 crop. We are always doing our best throughout the year to make the proper agronomic and marketing decisions for our farm and determine

areas for improvement in the coming year. A lot of time and effort is dedicated to the operations of the farm, but I have learned that this is only part of the equation. I think, as a young farmer, it is our responsibility to ensure the sustainability and profitability of the agriculture industry. In doing so, it is just as important to look beyond the farm gate

and contribute to initiatives that strengthen our industry. While in China I learned two important things: 1) To be successful in the Chinese market building relationships and trust is key. 2) C hinese consumers have the same questions and concerns about food quality and food safety as North American consumers.

One end use for Canadian wheat in China is in dumpling making, a favourite food in the region.

Throughout my networking I had the opportunity to meet with both Canadian and Chinese government representatives, and Chinese businesses working in a variety of industries. While some individuals were very familiar with Canadian products and doing business with Canada, others were not. I re a l l y e n j oy e d s p e a k -

ing about life in Manitoba, my family, growing up on the farm and answering questions about Canada’s agriculture industry. I think this is step one in building a relationship and spreading awareness of what Canada’s agriculture industry has to offer. It also became apparent to me the emphasis Chinese consumers place on quality and food safety. When I was sharing photos of farming in Manitoba, the picture of the high-clearance sprayer in a soybean field always brought on questions about pesticide use. When I spoke about producing canola on my farm, individuals asked about GMOs. These questions led to conversations and understanding of the technologies we use on our farm, responsible farming practices and how we ensure that the end product is safe for consumers. Consumers are asking about how food is produced. It is so important for producers to share our story locally and globally, understand and address consumer concerns, and emphasize the value we place in ensuring our crops and livestock are produced in a responsible manner that fosters food safety. I was the sole representative of the agriculture industry, and many of the JTC members came from the GTA or other cities in Canada. They had little to no connection with farming. This proved a great opportunity to connect with and spread awareness among my peers on an industry that is so important to our country. They were pretty amazed at the technology and business management it takes to operate a farm. One of the JTC members said, “I thought you just put some seed in the ground and wait for it to grow, but farming is clearly a lot more technical than that!” I value any opportunity to speak about agriculture and answer questions about farming practices and that is what made this mission trip a success for me. Not only was I able to spread awareness in China, but I was also able to increase awareness among Canadians. As a young farmer I think it is so important to be an advocate for agriculture and also be involved beyond the farm gate in some capacity. I am so thankful for the support I received from my community, fr iends, and family; and the Manitoba Pulse and Soybeans Growers, the Manitoba Canola Growers Association, Monsanto Canada Inc., Manitoba Agriculture, the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, Viterra, MNP, Bourgault, AgWest, and Canterra Seeds. It allowed me to open my eyes to a foreign country and culture, impressed upon me the importance of building global relationships and connecting with all consumers, and gave me the opportunity to take one step towards strengthening Canada’s agriculture industry.

CROP REPORT

Cool, wet weather stalls harvest Manitoba Agriculture weekly Crop Report: issued September 25, 2017 Southwest Region Cool and wet weather conditions did not allow for much harvest progress during the last week. Rainfall amounts ranged from 13 to 75 mm. Dry, windy weather will be needed for harvest to resume. Spring cereal harvest is 95 to 100 per cent complete. Yield and quality of cereal crops are very good to excellent. Canola harvest is 60 to 70 per cent complete. Most canola left to harvest will be straight cut, and producers have been waiting for plants to dry down. Canola yields are reported to be average to above average with good quality. Soybeans are in the R7 to R8 stage of development and most early varieties are mature. Sunflowers are in the late-R8 to early-R9 stage and are very close to being ready to desiccate. Corn silage has begun and yields look to be average to above average.

complete. Spring cereal yields are reported as: hard red spring wheat 55 to 100 bu.; northern hard red wheat 80 to 110 bu.; barley 75 to 120 bu.; oats 110 to 180 bu. In western areas 95 per cent of canola is harvested, 100 per cent is harvested in eastern areas. Some standing canola has lodged with the heavy rains. Yield reports to date are in the 40 to 65 bu./acre range. Harvested seed moisture levels have been lower than normal due to dry harvest conditions. Flax harvest is underway; yield reports range from 27 to 40 bu./acre to date. Soybean harvest continues, ranging from 40 to 50 per cent complete across the region. Early yield reports are in the 17 to 45 bu./acre range; average yield is expected to be in the 30to 35-bu. range.

Edible bean harvest is estimated to be 65 per cent complete.

Eastern Region Last week’s weather was not conducive to harvesting and other field operations. Rainfall events occurred throughout the week, with total rainfall accumulations ranging from 35 to 90 mm. Hail events occurred on Friday in the RMs of St. Andrews and Springfield. Average soil moisture conditions on cropland across the region were rated as 50 per cent surplus 50 per cent adequate in most of the region depending on rainfall amounts. Soil moisture conditions on hay and pasture land were rated at 60 per cent adequate, 20 per cent short and 20 per cent very short with the driest soil condi-

tions occurring in southern districts. Sp r i n g w h e a t h a r ve s t i s nearly complete and yield averages are in the 65 bu./acre range. Wheat protein averages 11 to 13 per cent. Oat yields have been reported in the 150 bu./ac. range. Canola harvest is ongoing with approx. 95 per cent of the crop harvested. Yields range from 45 to 55 bu./acre. Winter wheat seeding is complete, with acres down an estimated 30 per cent from last year. Limited soybean harvesting did occur in some areas with producers being selective about which fields and which areas of field harvested based on seed moisture content and presence of green seed.

wet conditions continue to stall harvest. Rainfall amounts ranged from 33 to 53 mm. There were non-killing (-1 C) frosts reported in Moosehorn and Narcisse. Canola harvest in the south Interlake is complete with excellent yields. In the north Interlake canola harvest is 80 per cent complete, with yields ranging from 30 to 50 bu./acre. Soybean harvest is approximately 50 per cent complete in the south Interlake, with average yields in the 30 to 35 bu./ acre range. Soybean harvest in the north Interlake is only two to five per cent complete; however, yields look more promising. Sunflowers are being desiccated in the south Interlake. Grain corn is in the black-layer stage, indicating close to 100 per cent maturity.

Interlake Region Intermittent rains and cool,

Northwest Region Temperatures were cooler this week and rainfall events, sometimes heavy, were common throughout the region mid-week resulting in harvest delays. Roblin received 10 mm of precipitation, Swan River 10 to 20 mm, Dauphin area 25 to 75 mm, and The Pas 65 mm. There have been hard frosts in the northern part of the region. Spr ing wheat har vest is nearly complete with 90 to 100 per cent of the crop harvested throughout the region. Spring wheat yields of 75 to 80 bu./acre around Roblin, and 60 to 90 bu./ acre around Swan River have been reported. Harvest of barley and oats is generally complete with reports of oats yielding 150 bu./acre and barley yielding 100 bu./acre in the Roblin area. Until rainfall mid-week, the canola harvest had been progressing steadily throughout the region; some operations were able to resume by the weekend. Approximately 65 per cent of canola fields have been combined around Swan River, and 95 per cent around Roblin. Yields range from 50 to 60 bu./acre. Canola harvest in the Dauphin, McCreary and Ste. Rose areas is nearing completion. Soybeans and fababeans are nearing maturity. Harvest of soybeans, fababeans, and flax is just starting. Corn silage harvest is underway. Annual forages affected by earlier frost in the northern part of the region are being tested for nitrates.

Getting a jump on fall fertilizer Recent rain may alter farmers’ plans, just like a dry year to date has BY DON NORMAN Co-operator contributor

ecent rains in Manitoba w i l l b e we l c o m e d by agronomists taking soil samples and farmers looking to do fall tillage work and fertilizing, according to one provincial soil specialist. John Heard, of Manitoba Agriculture, says fall soil tests remain the gold standard, in determining fertilizer needs for the crop. Agronomists often like to get a jump on soil testing right after the combine since soils are generally better to sample to depth before the soil is tilled. But with the very dry soils this year, it has proved challenging for some to take full cores to 24 inches. Sometimes the soil is crumbling to dust and is not fully retained in the tubes. Recent m o i s t u re m a y reduce this nuisance. In speaking to souther n Manitoba agronomists, early reports suggest that residual soil nitrogen (N) is very low in many fields, yet there are still some in the medium range (residual of 40-60 lbs. N/ac., Heard says. Many factors are known that may impact residual nitrate-N levels. “In excessively wet years we can experience high losses but in the moist, warm year of 2016 we observed much mineralization from soil organic matter,” he said. “For this past very dry year we might expect little to no losses from leaching or denitrification, yet less mineralization because the soil was so dry. The main factor in residual nitrogen is always crop uptake, so when we have high yields of cereals and canola, as many have, the soil’s N is generally depleted.” In fact, the relatively dry year that we’ve experienced is likely going to have some impact on how farmers are approaching their fall nutrie n t p r o g r a m . He a rd s a y s that far mers may be consider ing a “Swift Current” mentality about fertilizing. Saskatchewan far mers are much more attuned to soil moisture reserves as a guide to yield expectations and subsequent fertility rates. But our Manitoba soils are historically better recharged with moisture and more regular seasonal rainfall. Technical challenges can also accompany dry soil moisture conditions. When the soil is dry and hard it’s very difficult to band, apply and seal nitrogen without losses, Heard said. Just this past week (before the rainfall) we were hearing complaints from neighbours that farmers applying ammonia were gassing off too much nitrogen and causing a nuisance. When too much gas appears to be escaping, the suggestion is to either apply deeper or wait for better, moister soil conditions that allow proper slot sealing. With most nitrogen applications, farmers should wait for the soil to cool down to 10 C or less. With early nitrogen application, there is an increase of conversion of the ammonia-form fertilizer to nitrate prior to winter. It is

this nitrate form of nitrogen that is at risk to leaching and denitrification losses under wet conditions. A 2003 study conducted at University of Manitoba found that wheat y i e l d re s p o n s e f r o m f a l l banded N was improved by as much as 40 per cent by delaying application from September until late in the fall, when soil temperatures had declined to 5 or 6 C. Heard says that for the most part, the first fields being soil tested are for manure-managed fields. Because of the volumes involved, farmers have to find candidate fields and start getting manure on the fields as soon as possible. Still, putting manure on this early in the fall is subject to similar losses that chemical fertilizer is subject to but there may be ways to get around that. To d a y t h e re a re q u i t e a number of enhanced efficiency products that either c o n t ro l N re l e a s e o r h e l p

conserve the nitrogen in the ammonium form, says Heard. One of these products can also be used for manure and could be considered for manure

applied very early in the fall. Heard is talking about a D ow A g r o S c i e n c e s p r o d uct called eNtrench. Bl a i r Mu t c h e r, w i t h C r o p Production Ser vices (CPS) Canada in Carman says that usually farmers will wait until the ground cools before applying manure, but when we apply the eNtrench to the product, it stabilizes the fertilizer in the soil, he says. It holds it in the form where it

isn’t going to leach into the ground. The active ingredient in eNtrench is called nitrapyrin. According to the Dow AgroSciences website, nitrapyrin slows the activity of the bacteria that converts ammonium to nitrites for up to 10 weeks in warm soils (>10 C), reducing the risk of loss due to leaching and denitrification allowing the nitrogen to be available during peak periods of need by the crop. “It definitely opens a bigger window, said Mutcher. He says they’ll start applying it in midSeptember, which is a good two weeks earlier than they would be able to if they had to wait for the soil to cool. While many farmers may not deem it as necessary because the time constraints aren’t as pressing as with manure, nitrogen stabilizers can also be used with chemical fertilizers and will also widen the window for those applications.

Rural Women’s Day to focus on mental health and wellness The Manitoba Women’s Institute is hosting two separate events bringing together a broad range of speakers on the theme ‘A Healthy Mind is a Treasure to Find’ BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

ural and farm women face the same day-to-day pressures and stress as those who live in urban areas, but they also face unique challenges when it comes to staying well mentally. For one, there are fewer services and supports available to those who juggle not just dual but triple roles of family, work and a farm to manage. And rural life can be lonely if you’re not well connected to others. “One of the biggest issues for women is the pervasive sense of isolation if they don’t intentionally work on healthy connections, says Elaine Froese, a renowned farm family coach, author of several books and columnist for Grainews. “And that’s regardless of how far you live from town, or if you live in town.” Froese will be one of the keynote speakers during two events next month that will bring together a wide range of expertise in health and wellness with a focus on support for rural women. This is a second year for Manitoba Rural Women’s Day scheduled for two Saturdays including October 14 in Minnedosa and October 28 in Komarno. The event is being hosted by the Women’s Institute as a day to connect rural women for learning and resource sharing with sessions focused on mental health and wellness around the theme ‘A Healthy Mind is a Treasure to Find.’ “The intention is to give women an opportunity to get together and learn and share ideas that are of common concern to most rural women,” said Deb Melosky, chair of the planning committee with MWI and resident of Woodmore, Man. Their roster of speakers are almost all women who also live rurally and therefore understand very well what rural women face when it comes to keeping in good mental health, said Melosky. Froese, widely known for

her work helping farm families develop farm succession plans and her writing on how to establish and maintain healthy relationships, is well acquainted with issues that also impact rural people’s mental health. Her presentation will be a message about living an intentional healthy life and realizing we choose our thoughts, emotions and set intentions for our days, she said. Women often will continuously add to their responsibilities not realizing the toll that takes on their mental health. The result can be much stress, anxiety and a feeling of being completely overwhelmed, said Froese. “But it can be managed if you pay attention to the decisions that you’re making.” It’s also important to connect with the resources that are available to you in your region, she added.

“One of the biggest issues for women is the pervasive sense of isolation if they don’t intentionally work on healthy connections.” Elaine Froese

Other speakers at both events will include Vicki Olatundun, e x e c u t i v e d i re c t o r a t t h e Steinbach Family Resource Centre, and Keith McPherson, a wellness coach and yoga instructor. The two days also feature ‘fireside chat’ speakers with Minnnedosa’s lineup including Roberta Graham, a therapist and associate professor in psychiatric nursing at Brandon University, Deborah Tacan, a prevention education consultant with the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, and

Nora Chant, peer support facilitator at the Brandon-based 7th Street Health Access Centre. In Komarno Cheryl Cohan, a therapist with a specialization in horticultural therapy, Carole Teatrault, owner of a healing retreat near Steinbach, and Judy Dunn, outreach manager for the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba will be speaking. T h i s y e a r ’s t h e m e w a s selected after input through evaluations from last year’s Manitoba Rural Women's Day, Melosky said. Focus groups the MWI has done also reveal the

dearth of services available for mental health care rurally. “We often don’t realize what others are going through,” she said. Last year’s inaugural Rural Women’s Day was a resounding success so MWI is now making it a yearly annual event, she added. “We think this is a good way to get women together.” The two days are being held October 14 in Minnedosa at the Community Conference Centre at 63 Main Street North and October 28 in Komarno’s Community Hall. Those wishing to attend are asked to register in advance.

Prairie fare Favourite tomato salsa recipes

It’s the perfect way to preserve extra tomatoes from the garden BY GETTY STEWART Co-operator contributor

ome people love this time of year because of the changing colour of leaves, the rumble of the combine or the kids going back to school. I love it because of the fresh garden tomatoes and homemade salsa. If you’ve never made your own fresh salsa, stop everything and make a batch right now; you’re going to love it. Simply mix together your favourite combination of tomatoes, onions, peppers, hot peppers, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper, cumin and lime juice. That’s all there is to preparing a delicious batch of fresh salsa or pico de gallo. Enjoy it with tortilla chips or in various recipes, but never ever can it. In order to safely can salsa at home, it is important to use a recipe that has the correct level of acid (pH) and is heat processed for the correct time. The combination of acid and heat ensures potentially dangerous micro-organisms are deactivated and do not

Classic pico de gallo

pose any health risks. Improper canning of salsa greatly increases the risk of foodborne illness including potentially fatal, botulism. The easiest way for home canners to ensure the correct pH and processing time is to follow a recipe from a credible source that regularly tests their recipes. Three such sources are the National Center for Home Food Preservation (http://nchfp.uga.edu), Bernardin Canada (https://bernardin.ca) and Ball Canning (https://freshpreserving.com). Between these three sites there are well over 20 different salsa recipes to choose from. When you find a tested recipe that matches your preference, it’s important not to alter the ratio of low-acid (onions, peppers, garlic) and high-acid (vinegar, lemon or lime juice) ingredients. To personalize your recipe and keep it safe, here are some things you can and cannot change. • You can change the amount of dried spices and herbs, but do not add additional fresh leafy herbs like cilantro, oregano, basil or parsley. • You can choose whatever type of tomatoes you wish including green tomatoes or tomatillos, but do not use any affected by frost.

• You can mix and match any type of sweet or hot peppers, but do not use more than the total amount called for in the recipe. • You can change the variety of onion used, but do not add more. • You can add or remove sugar or salt as desired. • You can use lemon or lime juice instead of vinegar, but you cannot use vinegar instead of lemon or lime juice because vinegar is less acidic than bottled lemon or lime juice. • You can use less vegetables like onions, hot peppers, peppers, garlic and cilantro, but you cannot use more. • You cannot change the cooking method or processing time specified. • You cannot drain or squeeze out extra liquid before canning. This removes necessary acid. If you want, drain extra liquid just prior to serving your salsa. With these tips for safe canning in mind, here are some of my favourite salsa recipes.

Take a hike up the ‘Turtle’s Back’

Be sure to take binoculars and a camera. You’ll be glad you did as you enjoy the views from the tower By Donna Gamache Freelance contributor

ith the arrival of autumn, it’s time to try some of those hikes you might have put off during the heat of summer. One interesting hike, which my husband and I recently took, is the one in William Lake Provincial Park that takes you to the top of the “Turtle’s Back.” This small park is associated with, but east of, the main Turtle Mountain Provincial Park. It is known for its fishing (mainly brown trout, smallmouthed bass and small perch), its beach and its campground, but also for the interesting Turtle’s Back Hiking Trail that takes you to the summit of a peak locally called the Turtle’s Back. The Turtle’s Back is located on the southwest side of William Lake. It is a prominent feature, rising about 84 metres above the lake, and giving a spectacular view of the surrounding area — plains to the north, and the hills, trees and lakes of the Turtle Mountains to the south. The summit was likely used as a lookout by various native tribes in the distant past, perhaps as long as 10,000 years ago when the last of the glaciers melted away. It was definitely used as a point of reference in the 18th and 19th centuries for explorers, settlers, and Métis buffalo

hunters. Today, it is still quite noticeable above the surrounding landscape, if you are arriving at William Lake from the east or north. A hike on the Turtle’s Back trail can be started at two spots: at the south end of William Lake or at the northwest side, at the west end of the campground. Distance to the summit starting and ending at the south point is about five km; distance there and back from the north end is seven km. To hike up one section and down the other (about six km), you’d need to walk around the east side of the lake to get back to your starting point — an additional two km. Alternatively, you can leave a vehicle at one end of the lake and find alternate transportation back to the other. (That’s

what we did, using a bicycle to retrieve our vehicle from the starting point.) The trail passes through the Turtle Mountain Community Pasture, using old-fashioned stiles to climb over the fence, so hikers need to be on the lookout for livestock (we saw only a few, in the far distance). If there have been recent rains, there may be muddy spots, but most are easy to bypass. Wear good hiking boots or walking shoes and take a hiking stick if you use one, as the trail is classed as moderate. (As seniors, we were glad we’d taken ours.) As you near the summit the trail becomes fairly steep, but don’t give up, as the view from the top of the tower is very rewarding. Be sure to take binoculars with you, and

a camera as well to take some panoramic photos. To the north, the town of Boissevain can be seen; to the northwest, the waters of Whitewater Lake are visible through binoculars; and to the northeast one can pick out Killarney. In between are miles and miles of flat farmland, stretching into the distance. When looking to the south and southwest, the rolling hills, forests and lakes of the Turtle Mountains — stretching south towards the American border and into North Dakota — offer a surprisingly different view. Scan towards the southeast to see the many windmills which are just over the U.S. border, and be sure to read the interpretive signs that describe the history of the hills.

To reach William Lake, drive 11 km south of Boissevain on Highway No. 10 to Highway No. 341 and follow the signs 6.5 km east, and then south about eight km. Allow at least a couple of hours for the hike, or more if you want to walk more slowly and/or spend some time at the top. Remember that William Lake is a provincial park — entry pass required. Carry water with you, especially if it’s a warm day, and perhaps a snack. By the time you’re back to the bottom, you may want to stop for a picnic along the lake. If you choose a sunny day and the right time of autumn, the coloured trees will add a real bonus to your visit to the area. Donna Gamache writes from MacGregor, Manitoba

Now is the time to watch out for mildew In the fall ideal conditions can be created for it to develop and attack plants By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

n the fall mildew starts to appear on susceptible plants. If there are an unusually high number of days with moderate temperatures and very high humidity combined with many calm days with little air movement, ideal conditions are created for its development. Recognized by the development of white or grey powdery spots or patches on leaf surfaces, mildew eventually, if unchecked, will cover entire leaf surfaces as well as stems and flowers. Mildew is what scientists call host specific, meaning that certain species attack specific plant families. This is a great advantage for gardeners because the disease does not spread from plant to plant; for example, mildew on lilac leaves will not spread to neighbouring rose bushes as they are different plant families attacked by different mildew species. On perennial plants, mildew is rarely fatal. Some plants, such as common lilac, get mildew every year with no apparent negative effect on the overall health of the plants, but it does detract from its attractiveness. On annual vegetable plants, attacks of mildew can be fatal; it causes foliage to curl, turn yellow and brown, and the plants will prematurely defoliate. Fruit production stops and the plants eventually die. On decorative plants, flowers will be deformed, bud drop will occur,

and new growth, which is especially susceptible to attack, will wither and die. New plant growth may become disfigured and distorted. Some plants are more susceptible to mildew than others. Two shrubs that get mildew almost every year are lilac and Virginia creeper. In the vegetable garden, vines such as cucumbers, zucchini, and peas seem to be the least immune to infection. Several perennials, including delphiniums, perennial phlox, monarda, and roses are more likely to get mildew. Annual flowers are less likely to get mildew, although begonias and other shade-loving annuals can be prone to attack. Their susceptibility may be due to the fact that they are often grown in shade locations with little air movement and higher humidity levels. Although it is almost impossible to completely eradicate mildew at this

time of year, there are some precautionary measures that can be taken to mitigate its destructiveness. Reducing the conditions that favour its development — high humidity and poor air circulation — will cut down the chances of attack. Although high humidity and outdoor temperatures are beyond our control, air circulation can be increased by the way features are positioned in the landscape, both vegetative and non-vegetative. Also, don’t crowd plants, allowing more air movement between them. Clearing away plants that are finished production will open up the garden even more, allowing for more air movement. Reducing the amount of shade by trimming branches to allow more sun and air into all parts of the garden will make it less prone to mildew attack. New growth is particularly susceptible to mildew so overfertilizing is not a good idea, particularly in the fall when mildew is most apt to strike. Using a slow-release fertilizer rather than a high-nitrogen one in a single big dose will make plants less susceptible. Another strategy is to select mildewresistant cultivars. Hybridizers have developed mildew-resistant varieties of monarda, lilac, and perennial phlox. Read labels, catalogue descriptions, and seed packages to see if mildew resistance is mentioned. Early detection is important because damage cannot be undone. There are things that can be done, however, even if mildew is present, although some

remedies do not work as effectively if it is too far advanced. Fungicides are the best defence, and these can be either homemade or commercial products. Usually homemade fungicides have baking soda or potassium bicarbonate as a key ingredient, while commercial ones are often copper based, with the main ingredient being copper sulphate. You might think that spraying plants with water would not be a good way to reduce mildew, but in fact if plants are sprayed with water at the appropriate time — just when the mildew spores arrive on the plant — the spray will dislodge the spores before they have time to get established. Mildew spores are most likely to attach themselves to dry leaf surfaces, not wet ones. Because high humidity is mildew’s friend, plants should be sprayed with water early in the day so the excess moisture can evaporate and dissipate from around the plants during the day. However, because it doesn’t take the spores long to get established on leaf surfaces, this control method has limited success. On some plants, such as on shrubs such as lilacs, you might just let nature take its course as there will not be any long-term negative effects. On ornamental plants and in the vegetable patch, a line of defence will be necessary if you are going to continue to enjoy the fruits of your labour and not let mildew ruin the appearance of them.

Safe cooking of tenderized meat It’s all about internal temperatures and flipping

READERS’ PHOTOS

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada release

id you know that about 20 per cent of Canadian meat is mechanically tenderized? Mechanical tenderization is performed by cutting through the muscle fibres and connective tissues with small blades or needles to improve meat tenderness. While this might bring pounded, Swiss or Salisbury steak to mind, modern tenderizing equipment can pierce meat so finely that customers don’t even notice it. In Canada, mechanically tenderized meat has to be labelled as such, because without proper cooking, the process can introduce bacteria, like E. coli, deep into the meat, which might not be cooked to as high a temperature as the exterior of the cut. “If the work we do to identify safe cooking conditions prevents one person from getting sick from eating undercooked meat, I would feel well rewarded for our team’s efforts,” said Dr. Xianqin Yang, research scientist, food safety and processing, meat microbiology Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). Yang and her team at the AAFC Lacombe Research and Development Centre have studied how to best kill E. coli in three cuts of mechanically tenderized meat: steaks, roasts and minute steaks. It turns out the evenness of the cooking plays a big role. For steaks, in addition to reaching an internal temperature of 63 C, the team found that flipping the steak at least twice while grilling eliminated

more bacteria than a single flip did. Multiple flips create a more even cooking temperature, and as a bonus, the “eating quality” was improved too. Yang’s team also studied tenderized roasts cooked in conventional ovens, convection ovens and slow cookers. They found no difference in bacteria levels of the roasts cooked on high or low in the slow cooker, as long as the meat was cooked to an internal temperature of 63 C. However, for full-size ovens, both the temperature at which the oven is operated and the internal temperature of the beef roast were found to be important to food safety. Recommendations for cooking mechanically tenderized roasts in either a conventional or convection oven are very clear: meat should be cooked at 140 to 180 C oven temperature to an internal temperature of 63 C. For minute steaks, also known as cubed steaks, a 63 C internal cooking temperature is not

enough! Research shows that the internal temperature of this cut of meat should reach 71 C (the same internal temperature recommended for hamburger), and that the meat should be turned twice during cooking. For this project, Yang partnered with several other beef industry groups to promote the results of their findings, including Canadabeef.ca, Canadian Cattlemen's Association and the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency.

This Old Elevator

n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba. Today, there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the legacy of these disappearing “Prairie sentinels.” The Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Co-operator it is supplying these images of a grain elevator each week in hopes readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other elevator they know of. MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has developed a website to post your replies to a series of questions about elevators. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that have served the farm community. Your contributions will help gather historical information such as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and agents, rail lines, year elevators were built — and dates when they were torn down (if applicable). There is room on the website to post personal recollections and stories related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one not included on that list. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the farm community's collective knowledge of what was once a vast network of grain elevators across Manitoba. Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at: http://www. mhs.mb.ca/elevators. You will receive a response, by email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received. Goldsborough is interested in hearing all sorts of experiences about the elevators — funny, sad, or anything in between. Readers willing to share their stories can leave messages at 204-474-7469.

A 40,000-bushel grain elevator at Mentmore, southwest of Neepawa in what is now the Municipality of North Cypress-Langford, was built in 1927 on land donated by Thomas Drayson. Operated by the Mentmore Co-operative Elevator Association, the first agent was Ken McDougall of Russell, who later purchased the local store. A crib annex was built beside the elevator between 1957 and 1959. The facility closed in December 1978 as the railway line was abandoned. The tracks were removed in June 1979. In the fall of 1980, the annex was moved to Franklin and, the following spring, the elevator was sold to Drayson descendants who used it as storage for their seed business. It appeared to be unused when this aerial photo was taken earlier this year. Source: Gordon Goldsborough

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