Ottawa allocates $349 million for voluntary CWB The money, similar to what the former directors estimated, will cover open-market transition costs

T

he federal government will spend up to $349 million to cover the Canadian Wheat Board’s (CWB) extraordinary costs as it moves to an open market Aug. 1.

“The CWB must be as nimble, flexible and efficient as possible without being encumbered with costs related to the past,” Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said at a news conference at the CWB’s Winnipeg headquarters in Winnipeg June 28.

“We want to make sure it is a strong, viable option to allow western Canadian farmers and now all farmers across Canada with all commodities to make use of this and help drive their own economies.”

The former farmer-elected CWB board of directors asked for transition funding last fall, arguing since farmers didn’t vote for an open market farmers shouldn’t have to pay the extra costs.

The money will cover such things as employee severances, pensions and expenses related to fixed costs, such as the CWB’s upgraded computer system, which isn’t needed now that it

f farmers along the Assiniboine River are wondering where all that water came from this spring, Peter Onofreychuk believes he has a pretty good idea.

On a giant aerial photo unrolled on his kitchen table, the farmer from MacNutt, Sask., shows where drainage ditches have been dug on land upstream from him by a 12,000-acre farm corporation.

Local Ducks Unlimited staff provided him with the map, which marks the directional flow of the ditches on each quarter section with little green arrows.

“They drained 28 quarters of land illegally into me,” said Onofreychuk, who runs a 1,000-acre mixed grain and cattle farm with parcels on both sides of the border.

The area, once home to small cattle and grain farms amid poplars and marshes is being transformed quarter by quarter into wide-open fields of wall-to-wall canola by trackhoes, bulldozers and scrapers, he said.

The fields look impressive, but with no sloughs left, the land has lost its water retention capacity. Run-off now sloshes unchecked down the Blackbird

Creek that courses through six quarters of his land before joining up with the Assiniboine near the Shellmouth Dam. “They drain the water and they don’t care what happens downstream,” he said.

Complaints to Saskatchewan Watershed Authority officials in Yorkton about the situation have been ignored for years, said Onofreychuk.

“They drain the water and they don’t care what happens downstream.”

Peter Onofreychuk

“You can’t move a spoonful of dirt in Manitoba,” he said. “But it’s a broken system here in Saskatchewan.”

The problem is getting worse because corporations are continuing to clear, drain, and level marginal land, he charged.

“You look on Google Earth. It’s all been drained out from Wadena to Kelvington,” said Onofreychuk. “If all this illegal water wasn’t going into the

Assiniboine, I don’t think there would be a big problem at Shellmouth.”

Drainage efforts are intensifying, said Chuck Deschamps, a conservation specialist with Ducks Unlimited Canada in Wadena.

Deschamps recently took aerial photos of the headwaters Assiniboine River watershed near Rama and Invermay, and they show wetlands drained by an interconnected pattern of ditches that flow into tributaries of the Assiniboine.

The same thing is happening in many areas, he said.

“Especially in the last couple of years, it’s progressed from simple v-ditches to guys going out there with big equipment like trackhoes cutting into the sides of hills and digging ditches that are 10 feet deep in places,” said Deschamps.

There’s no way of knowing whether the drainage is legal or illegal without making specific inquiries to the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority, but Deschamps said he suspects most of it is being done without permits.

“Very few farmers apply for permits in Saskatchewan in general,” he said.

“It’s much easier to dig the ditch and then beg forgiveness later.”

armland values in Britain will rise 37 per cent by 2016, beating forecast growth for gold, oil, 10-year British government bonds and homes in London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, according to data compiled

by Oxford Economics and the research arm of property consultant Savills.

Savills director Alex Lawson cited the need for increased global food production to meet growing population and demand created by increased wealth in developing countries. “Combined with that there are income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax advantages to putting your money in farmland,” Lawson told Reuters, referring to the higher levels of tax relief for farmland owners. Farmland will even outshine offices in London’s West End district, where prices are kept high by companies like hedge funds and technology firms competing to rent a limited supply of space, the data showed.

organization that promotes the sustainable use of the world’s resources, last year estimated that between $5 billion and $15 billion of pension fund money was invested in global farmland, a figure it said would double by 2015.

The average value of British farmland has trebled over the past decade to about 6,000 pounds ($9,300) per acre, though prices of 10,000 pounds and upwards can be paid for larger tracts of land.

Last year, farmers buying land to expand accounted for 61 per cent of purchases.

Savills director of residential research Yolande Barnes said wealthy individuals and institutions are attracted to farmland’s safe annual agricultural yields of about three to four per cent.

“There is nothing flashy about the income performance,” Lawson said. “But unlike an Icelandic bank, farmland is not going anywhere.”

WTO conclusion tests U.S. commitment to international trade deals

SUMMER SPLENDOR

COOL has caused sales to the U.S. to drop 50 per cent

By Alex Binkley CO-OPERATOR CONTRIBUTOR / OTTAWA

T

he U.S. commitment to fair trade will be put to the test by the World Trade Organization ruling that the American country-of-origin labelling (COOL) measure discriminates against Canadian livestock and is inconsistent with international trade rules.

T h e l a t e - Ju n e d e c i s i o n shouldn’t have come as a surprise based on last fall’s WTO panel ruling against the U.S. measure.

Stalling for time, the U.S. waited until the last minute before appealing the ruling in March.

The final WTO verdict was as solid as the 2011 decision.

Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz told a meeting of farm leaders in Dundurn, Sask., that Canada would push the U.S. to end the discrimination COOL restrictions against its livestock.

Since the start of COOL’s labelling and tracking system in 2008, Canadian livestock and meat sales to the U.S. have dropped by about 50 per cent. Canada tried consultations with the U.S. in 2009 and when that failed to resolve the impasse, took the issue to the WTO. President Jean Guy Vincent of the Canadian Pork Council said the WTO ruled that COOL

“amounted to arbitrary and unjustifiable discrimination against imported livestock, such that they cannot be said to be applied in an even-handed manner. After all this time and after so much damage to our interests, this is such sweet music to our ears.”

The CPC didn’t oppose labelling for consumer information purposes as long as it doesn’t restrict trade, he said. “This decision will require the U.S. to change its legislation in order to comply. The condemnation of discrimination against Canadian feeder pigs and slaughter hogs, as well as beef cattle is confirmed.”

COOL has cost hog producers at least $1.4 billion during the last five years in terms of lower sales and prices, he added.

C P C a n d t h e Ca n a d i a n Cattlemen’s Association have worked with the government to oppose COOL. CCA president Martin Unrau said the WTO ruling was “an important victory for Canadian cattle producers and we are hopeful that the U.S. will amend the COOL legislation to eliminate the discrimination.

“This is the result that we have been seeking,” Unrau added.

“Going forward, the CCA will be working with its U.S. counter-

parts to develop a solution that eliminates the discrimination of Canadian cattle in the U.S. market.”

COOL has affected billions of dollars of commerce in cattle and beef products since it was implemented in 2008. At a cost of $25 to $40 per head, the current impact of COOL to Canadian producers is approximately $150 million per year.

Canadian Meat Council president Ray Price described COOL as bureaucratic, costly and unnecessary without any contribution to food safety and of little or no benefit to consumers.

At the same time, it jeopardized North American competitiveness in the global marketplace and weakened economic growth, investment and job opportunities on farms and in meat-processing facilities across Canada and the United States.

The United States should “act quickly to bring its meat labelling regulations and practices into full conformity with international obligations.”

He noted that COOL ran counter to the spirit of an agreement signed by Prime Minister Harper and President Obama last year on “removing unnecessary regulatory requirements that add costs for manufacturers and for consumers.”

China to end anti-dumping probe on U.S. distillers grains BEIJING / REUTERS / China is ending an anti-dumping probe on imports of U.S. distillers dried grains, opening the gates for more

purchases of the feed ingredient.

China’s Commerce ministry launched the probe 1-1/2 years ago at the request of four Chinese ethanol makers.

The companies withdrew the request recently, the government said.

China’s imports of DDGs fell 47 per cent last year because of the probe.

Natural gas, natural solution: Devine It’s good for the environment, economy and food security, according to a former Saskatchewan premier

he move is on to switch heavy vehicles to natural gas, and that will benefit farmers and enhance global food security, says former Saskatchewan premier Grant Devine.

There’s an abundance of cheap natural gas across the country, and new extraction technology is adding to the surplus here and abroad, he said.

“We have no end to natural

gas,” Devine said at the recent Farming for Profit conference.

Plunging prices mean compressed natural gas costs half as much as petroleum to power vehicles and produces 30 per cent fewer emissions, he said.

Switching to natural gas on the farm will make food cheaper to produce and doing the same for transportation will lower export costs, he said.

The main roadblock to using compressed natural gas is access to it, Devine said.

Natural gas filling stations, which use large compressors

to ensure natural gas refuelling times are similar to those for gasoline, are relatively rare, he noted. Moreover, fuel providers are reluctant to build more until there are more vehicles powered on natural gas, while companies and consumers are reluctant to buy natural gaspowered engines until there are more filling stations.

The alternative is “return to base” fuelling, which allows for slower, overnight filling, and many truckers, rural municipalities, and other heavyequipment operators are con-

sidering doing just that, said Devine. That’s an option for farms with natural gas service, which is the case in much of Alberta and Saskatchewan, he noted.

Overall, the trend towards natural gas is building, he said.

E q u i p m e n t m a n u f a c t u re r s , i n c l u d i n g C a t , Vo l v o and Cummins, are building engines that burn natural gas, some natural gas filling stations are being built in B.C. and Washingto, and Shell is planning to build stations in Red Deer and Medicine Hat,

said Devine. There’s also talk of stations along the TransCanada Highway as far east as Winnipeg, he said.

According to Wikipedia, there were 14.8 million natural gas vehicles in the world in 2011, with Iran, Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, and India all having from one million to three million such vehicles on the road.

Lowering production and transportation costs would significantly boost food security, said Devine. allan@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Supply management is in trouble

G

ood news. Canada is joining talks for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which will open lucrative new trade opportunities — if we give up supply management.

Or so you’d think by reading national newspapers these days.

Ever since Canadian participation in the TPP talks was announced last month, columnists in the Globe and Mail and John Morriss National Post have been delivering a Editorial Director relentless attack on supply management, and last week were wriggling like puppies following an op ed by Liberal leadership hopeful Martha Hall Findlay. She wrote: “Dairy farms are governed by a byzantine system that prices milk based on intended usage, locks out most foreign products with exorbitantly high tariffs and even determines how much farmers can produce. Everyone suffers. First in the line of people harmed by supply management are consumers — Canadians are forced to pay two to three times as much for whole milk as Americans.

“It is simply untenable that Canadian families pay upwards of $300 more a year than they need to, for milk alone, let alone higher prices for other products like cheese, yogurt and ice cream, to subsidize a tiny number of relatively welloff farmers. Worse, it’s regressive, which means that the ones who suffer most are the low-income families — the very ones who most need affordable access to nutrition.”

Ms. Hall Findlay continues: “In contrast to the fewer than 15,000 supply-managed farmers, there are more than 10 times that many — over 210,000 farmers (92 per cent of the total number of Canadian farmers) — that are directly dependent on export markets; they either export their products or sell them domestically at prices set by international marketplaces.”

So, not only are wealthy supply-managed farmers depriving poor children of food, they’re depriving their fellow farmers of a decent income. Case closed, or so it would seem.

There are a couple of reasons for this relentless assault.

One is that high milk prices are easy column fodder on a slow news day. The other is that the TPP is important and the columnists need to write about it, but don’t know what’s in it.

In fact, hardly anyone knows what’s in it. The TPP is a U.S. initiative, but the U.S. Trade Representative’s (USTR) office has signed a confidentiality agreement with participating countries and the details are not being shared with anyone else, including the U.S. Congress.

Last week 130 members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to the USTR asking for more transparency. That followed a similar letter from a group of U.S. senators: “Indeed, the negotiations USTR is pursuing will create binding policies on future Congresses in numerous areas where there is significant public interest, including policies related to labour, environment and natural resources, land use, food, agriculture and product standards, intellectual property rights, state-owned enterprises and government procurement policies, as well as financial, health care, energy, telecommunications and other service-sector regulations.”

You mean to say that these items are also in the TPP? You wouldn’t know it from reading the national media.

Sure, some competitors have a wish list, but that doesn’t mean each item is a deal breaker. Fonterra, New Zealand’s dairy quasi-monopoly, and some U.S. dairy processors say they want access to the Canadian market. Well, yeah.

Fonterra wants access to the U.S. market too. If you think that’s going to happen, then you’re…, well, a columnist for a newspaper in Toronto who hasn’t figured out the dilemma: the U.S. isn’t going to drop its dairy program, or its indirect support of the poultry industry. If Canada drops border controls, then it either matches the U.S. programs, or loses the industries. That’s the key point that SM producers need to emphasize.

TPP or not, they have a big public-relations problem. Traditional arguments won’t get them out of it. Trying to claim that milk and poultry in the U.S. aren’t cheaper won’t work, nor will talking about how Canadian product is safe. “It won’t make you sick,” is not a good marketing pitch.

When SM was introduced, farmers in effect made a deal with consumers — “Give us a fair price and we’ll stay out of your pocket as a taxpayer, and not ask for U.S.-style subsidies to dump our overproduction.”

Most consumers today are probably willing to make a new deal to ensure their milk doesn’t come from Wisconsin, Minnesota and California, and their chickens and eggs from Georgia. Often, neither the farmers, the workers or the animals are well treated in the U.S. system. Canadian farmers need to explain that, and demonstrate that their system is better, not just for them, but for the cattle and birds in the barn. Otherwise they’re going to lose support for supply management, with or without the TPP. john.morriss@fbcpublishing.com

Looking for that amazing tree Is it the biggest, oldest or most striking?

Red River Basin Commission (RRBC) release

I

n these first days and weeks of summer here in the Red River corridor, our basin’s trees are fully decked out in their leafy finery. Not only do they protect living areas, fragile lands and riverbanks, but they provide glorious scenes for our winter-weary eyes.

But how often do we take these grand living structures for granted? Rather than just walking, biking or driving by and not noticing, what if we sought out the grand trees of our basin? Wouldn’t discovering an incredible tree be considered a “find?” How do we share this knowledge, so others can marvel at their glory as well?

Both Minnesota and North Dakota have compiled lists of the largest trees in their respective state and have websites devoted to their programs. The North Dakota Forest Service maintains the records for the Champion Tree Program. The link to their web page is http://www.ndsu.edu/ndfs/champion_trees_ of_nd/. Minnesota’s native big tree registry is found at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/trees_ shrubs/bigtree/index.html. Several of these amazing trees are located in the Red River basin.

A Manitoba non-profit, Rivers West Red River Corridor, is currently sponsoring its Second Annual Amazing Tree Quest, with the help of the Manitoba Forestry Association. Entrants are invited to nominate the tree they find most amazing. This might mean the biggest tree, the oldest tree, the most striking tree — perhaps a community favourite. Winning trees will be announced during Canada’s National Forest Week, Sep-

OUR HISTORY:

tember 22-29, 2012. Details about the contest can be found at http://www.riverswest. ca/.

Whatever state or province we live in, any of us can add such a quest to our summer plans for enjoying the outdoors. What better way to explore the basin than to visit these champion trees or to search out a grand tree that has been overlooked, perhaps for a century or more, to be discovered?

However we carry it out, an amazing tree quest will further several important goals. It will increase awareness of the role of trees in our basin’s history. And it will promote stewardship of the basin’s trees, which, withstanding extremes of weather, continue to protect our land and water resources and amaze us with their splendour.

ur July 4, 1957 issue reported on an expected record wheat carry-over of 640 million bushels (17.4 million tonnes), which compares with only six million tonnes expected this year.

At the annual meeting of the Agricultural Institute of Canada, a Vancouver doctor “laid down the gauntlet” in an address encouraging members to do more to improve the welfare of farmers. “If so much emphasis is being placed on soil resources to the utter exclusion of human resources, agriculture has lost its sense of values,” said Dr. Lawrence E. Ranta. “It’s time we recognized that the producer and his wife and his children are more important than the products that they produce.

“The farmer, the farm labourer, their families and the rural dweller in general do not share equally with the urban dweller in the real socio-medical advances of the 20th century,” he said.

In other news, Grandview farmer Herb Schulz had hired Winnipeg lawyer Sidney Green in an attempt to set aside all resolutions of the annual meeting of the Manitoba Federation of Agriculture and Co-operation the previous month.

The meeting had featured a highly contentious dispute over delegate credentials, and led to Mr. Schulz being fired from the MFAC board

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Producers must speak up on trade Politicians must hear from more than the special interests on vital trade issues

rade negotiations. I can almost hear the pages turning as people turn to other things that seem more relevant.

For years everyone involved in agriculture has been subjected to the strong arguments on both sides of this issue. And yet, very little seems to change. For example, since 2001, the World Trade Organization (WTO) Doha round of negotiations has tried to break through the entrenched interests, to no avail. Many find this rather tiring.

Why should I pay attention? Do these negotiations have anything to do with what happens on my ranch or farm? Is there anything I can do about it? These are three of the most common questions I hear from producers when trade negotiations are discussed.

The fact is trade negotiations matter a great deal and we are seeing progress. Perhaps not at the WTO, but we are seeing results through bilateral deals and entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations. These deals are very important to producers.

We should be paying attention and we should ensure that our politicians are hearing the voices from the end of the gravel roads.

Trade is vital for the beef sector in particular because approximately 50 per cent of Canadian beef production is destined for export markets. Beef producers have always understood the significance of international trade.

However, the importance of open markets was hammered home in 2003 when a case of BSE slammed our borders shut. The loss of markets was devastating to our industry and has cost the Canadian economy billions.

The industry is only now recovering from the impact of that sick cow.

Cosmetic ban would divide farmyard and fields I understand Manitoba may be considering a ban on “cosmetic” pesticide usage, similar to the one in Ontario. Rural Manitobans may be interested in observations from a rural Ontarian familiar with how the Ontario ban occurred and what it has meant.

The Ontario ban was announced by the premier during a 2007 provincial election campaign stop with no external consultation, even with the province’s own government-appointed Ontario Pesticide Advisory Committee. The Ontario announcement may

Either we are part of these new agreements and we embrace the opportunities, or we sit on the sidelines and see our markets wither because others have negotiated preferential treatment.

Open trade strengthens the industry as a whole creating opportunity for renewal and growth. This is true for both established operations and for young and beginning producers.

Stable and open access to international markets not only supports the value chain but sustains jobs in rural communities and urban Canada.

Strong, stable, liberalized trade represents an opportunity for growth and rebuilding for Manitoba’s beef producers. But it is not just beef that benefits. Freer trade will generate new opportunities for our grains and oilseed farmers, our hog producers and likely new areas of production and food processing that we have not even thought about.

There is one resounding fact to remember when discussing trade.

Manitoba’s economy is always better off with open borders and it always suffers when trade barriers are imposed. But not everyone understands these basic facts. Manitoba’s ranchers and farmers should all be concerned if the only voice politicians hear on this issue comes from the opponents of open borders.

Agriculture should also be concerned about being left behind — again. Producers should be con-

have won some urban votes in 2007, but undoubtedly contributed to the strong anti-government rural vote in 2011. Rural Ontarians have rebelled against what they see as regulations imposed for political benefit in the Greater Toronto Area, at the expense of rural ridings.

Whether city lawns have dandelions or not is of marginal concern to rural people. But they do object when they cannot use the same materials on their lawns, ornamentals and gardens as they or their neighbours use on farm fields only a few feet away.

Legally, farmers cannot spray their own lawns to prevent weed seed contamination into adjacent fields, or use fungicides for disease control on garden vegetables — even with the same products used on their farm crops.

My wife has several century-old Hansa roses around our farmhouse.

To prevent them from being killed by the disease black spot, we spray them illegally with Folicur also used for fusarium control on our wheat.

While not of direct personal concern, Ontario farmers have sympathy for urban friends forced to pay outrageous prices for “alternative” pest control products which control weeds poorly and for very dilute solutions of the few synthetic pesticide products (e.g. Roundup) for which usage is still allowed.

Saddest of all are the sights of 1) very elderly people on their hands and knees trying to remove lawn weeds when a dollar’s worth of Health Canada-approved products

Trade negotiations may seem irrelevant but they are vitally important to Canada’s beef sector.

cerned that Canada may reach comprehensive new agreements that fail to include significant gains for agriculture. Agriculture depends on trade.

We depend on open access. We cannot afford to be left out of any new agreements.

This would not be the first time that agriculture gets left behind. The last successful round of world trade negotiations, which were completed back in 1994, largely ignored agriculture.

All attempts to correct this deficiency within the WTO have failed.

Our competitors, such as Australia and the U.S. are not standing still.

They are working to negotiate greater access. For example, Australia is negotiating freer trade with Japan, one of Canada’s most important agricultural markets.

The status quo is not an option for Canada. Either we are part of these new agreements and we embrace the opportunities, or we sit on the sidelines and see our markets wither because others have negotiated preferential treatment.

For the benefit of anti-pesticide friends who may attack my message as “yet another contribution from the pesticide industry,” I have no connections financial or otherwise with the pesticide industry nor have I ever.

Where is the vision?

It’s essential that Manitoba’s agriculture minister provide a strong voice during the federal-provincial-territorial negotiations for the new five-year Growing Forward 2 (GF 2) program.

However, I have serious concerns about his lack of any long-term strategy for this important sector.

During a committee meeting in the recent legislative session, I asked Minister Ron Kostyshyn about his vision for agriculture in Manitoba for the next five years. He said that he “would love to see good prices... and, hopefully, Mother Nature behaves with us.”

Needless to say, I was somewhat surprised by his answer. Agriculture contributes millions of dollars

Trade negotiations are in the news again. Now is the time for your voice to be heard. Politicians are paying attention. So are others. There are special interests in Manitoba, and across the country, which do not recognize the potential benefits coming out of trade negotiations, such as the recently announced Trans-Pacific Partnership or the nearly completed Canada/EU trade negotiations.

Special interest groups and individuals opposed to open markets are in regular contact with your MLAs and MPs, telling our elected leaders to “stop.” Politicians must hear from more than just the special interests.

They need your voice.

When you meet your politicians on their summer barbecue circuits, at your local fair or even in the coffee shop, let them know that trade matters. Ensure your voice is heard this summer.

annually to Manitoba’s economy and creates thousands of jobs. I was expecting considerably more depth than the minister’s lightweight response.

Matters under consideration during the GF 2 discussions include business risk management programs, environmental programs, and ways to enhance market access for our agricultural products, among others.

The goal is to help ensure future prosperity for Manitoba’s producers and agribusinesses. Our agriculture minister must advocate strongly on their behalf, but I fear this won’t happen.

There is simply too much at stake for Manitoba in Growing Forward 2 than for our agriculture minister to be basing his negotiations on hopes for good weather and strong commodity prices.

Unfortunately, this latest NDP agriculture minister simply seems to be repeating the history of his predecessors by again failing to outline a strong, growth-oriented, long-term vision for Manitoba’s agricultural sector.

Expert says climate change may be driving floods Patterns suggest flooding may increase

By Daniel Winters CO-OPERATOR STAFF

The Saskatchewan Watershed Authority isn’t proaactive about enforcing the rules, and only investigates if someone downstream complains, Deschamps said. Disputes are handled via an informal, farmer-to-farmer process, then, if that fails, it moves to the formal level where damages are assessed by officials.

Deschamps said downstream problems with regulating the Shellmouth Dam are likely to get worse because the rate of wetland loss upstream increases every year.

Patrick Boyle, a spokesman for the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority, said that drainage in the province requires approval, and the SWA investigates unauthorized works in response to complaints.

The two-step process calls for aggrieved parties and their counterparts to work out an informal solution first, then if that fails, a formal complaint is filed. SWA then decides if the drainage works require closure, and in cases of non-compliance, the cost of closing it is forwarded to the party that built the drain.

In central Saskatchewan, there are four investigators, and about 20 in the whole province.

“In the last two years, we have seen an increase in the number of complaints, obviously due to the flooding,” said Boyle, adding

that more consultants have been hired to investigate the backlog of over 150 active complaints.

Boyle couldn’t say how many landowners had been fined, the total amount levied for closing drains, or what percentage of the province’s wetlands have been lost.

“I don’t even know if we track something like that,” said Boyle.

He cited a study undertaken by the government of Manitoba and Saskatchewan on the upper Assiniboine basin following the 1995 flood that found that the effect of wetland drainage had “little” effect on major flood events.

But Lyle Boychuk, a Reginabased geographic informations systems manager from Ducks Unlimited, said that the study was based on obsolete technology and the results were “laughable.”

“Obviously, the work in the 1990s had some serious problems and there have been many advances since then,” said Boychuk, adding that a new three-year study in the works on the Smith Creek watershed north of Langenburg due to wrap up in 2013 will see more definitive conclusions.

As of press time, the owner of the far m identified by Onofreychuk had not responded to requests for comment. daniel.winters@fbcpublishing.com

Climate data suggests w e a t h e r p a t t e r n s a re changing and flooding on the Assiniboine River may become more frequent, says John Pomeroy, director of the University of Saskatchewan’s Centre for Hydrology.

It’s not just the three consecutive years of heavy spring rains that concern the professor, who is also a Canada research chair in water resources and climate change.

A recent study of 100 years of rain and snowfall data on the Prairies shows smaller, one-day rainstorms are giving way to multiple-day intense events covering a vast area.

“Those larger storms are the ones that cause the flooding like we have seen on the Assiniboine t h i s s p r i n g ,” s a i d Pomeroy.

“The change has been occurring over a long period of time, but it appears to be accelerating over the last little bit since 2004.”

The range of recent events, he added, has been “completely off the scale” of historical norms based on measurements that began in the 1890s.

Recent papers by atmospheric scientists have shown a northward m ov e m e n t i n t h e j e t stream in the summer, and greater penetration of moist air from the Gulf of Mexico into the eastern Prairies. That is causing large, more intense storm fronts.

“We didn’t have that occurring as much a few decades ago. So eventually we are going to have to adapt how we manage our water to that,” he said.

A g ov e r n m e n t o f f i cial says the province is aware of the data and an analysis of April to June rainfall data going back to 1970 found this year was the wettest in modern times.

“Shellmouth Dam has never experienced such wet conditions in these three months since it started operating in 1970,” said a spokesperson for Manitoba Water Stewardship. daniel.winters@ fbcpublishing.com

CWB CASH Continued from page 1

won’t be marketing as much grain, said CWB CEO and president Ian White.

The CWB expects to have around 100 employees in the end, down from 400.

“These items will actually be further identified and worked on and we will be trying to make sure that we keep the costs as low as possible but obviously we’ve had to identify realistically what these costs could be,” White said.

The one-time federal payment doesn’t cover the CWB’s cost to buy two grain-hauling lake vessels ordered last year for $65 million, an official in Ritz’s office said.

Last summer then CWB chair Allen Oberg predicted winding down the CWB would cost “hundreds of millions of dollars.” Later the former board estimated, based on a study prepared by KPMG, it would cost between $276.3 million and $475.3 million. Ritz accused the board of exaggerating the expense to discourage moving to an open market.

“This shows our numbers were bang on,” former CWB farmerelected CWB director Stewart Wells said in an interview June 29.

While pleased farmers aren’t on the hook, Wells said it’s an unfortunate expense for taxpayers.

“If you were going to an open market in an evolutionary way and the farmers had voted in favour of doing it I’m not sure all these costs would accrue,” he said.

There’s a possibility the federal government could get the money back. If the CWB is sold or wound down its assets go to the Crown.

The CWB is ready for business thanks to having a capital base (money from the CWB’s contingency fund), transition funding and handling agreements with a growing number of elevator companies, White said.

“It ensures the CWB will start off with the strongest possible footing under the new business model,” he said.

But Wells disagrees, arguing had the government not covered the costs farmers would have through the CWB’s pool accounts.

“This is not money that’s going to help the organization move forward,” he said.

The Western Grain Elevator Association opposes special treatment for the CWB. However, it understands Ottawa’s decision,

said executive director Wade Sobkowich.

“We’re looking for an ultimate goal, which is an open marketplace without government assistance to any one entity,” he said.

“The government has decided to do this. We understand it’s a transition period. Obviously we don’t like situations that give a leg up to a competitor but they’re also partners with the grain industry so we understand what’s happening here.”

The Western Barley Growers Association (WBGA) and Western Wheat Growers Association (WCWGA) support the funding too.

“We take this as another positive sign that the government, like farmers, wants a viable and competitive CWB,” WBGA president Doug Robertson said in a news release.

This one-time cost to taxpayers will be recouped quickly because farmers will make more money in an open market, said WCWGA president Kevin Bender.

At a conference in Moose Jaw June 25 University of Manitoba agricultural economist Brian Oleson predicted a voluntary CWB will not survive. “(There are) 10 reasons why there is no life after death for the Canadian Wheat Board,” he said.

“Well, the single desk is dead and the other nine reasons don’t matter.”

According to Oleson the CWB can bring little value to farmers because it can not extract premiums.

“The CWB can operate effectively in a market-choice environment with the right people and the right attitude,” former We s t e r n C a n a d i a n W h e a t Growers Association president Cherilyn Jolly-Nagel said.

White says the board can be of value by providing farmers with a pooling, a form of risk management and through its long-term relationships with customers around the world.

During a telephone meeting with 2,000 farmers June 29, 57 per cent said they would do business with the new CWB, said spokesperson Maureen Fitzhenry.

The CWB called 45,000 farmers last week to see if they’d participate in the hour-long meeting during which the CWB explained its new marketing options and took questions, she said. allan@fbcpublishing.com

New CWB focuses on Western Canada But it can now extend its reach

By Allan Dawson CO-OPERATOR STAFF

Starting Aug. 1 the new CWB will be able to buy and sell grain of any type from anywhere in Canada, but its immediate focus is its traditional territory — Western Canada.

“We have no immediate plans to do business in other parts of Canada,” CWB spokesperson Maureen Fitzhenry said in an interview June 29.

However, the CWB does want to add canola marketing to its operations this summer, she said. The CWB could eventually add pulse crops too.

Fitzhenry acknowledged the CWB has a lot on its plate with downsizing staff and striking handling agreements with grain companies it will also be competing with.

Observers agree getting access to country and port terminal handling facilities is key to the new CWB’s survival. It has made arrangements with eight companies, including big players, Cargill and Viterra.

CWB president and CEO Ian White says more handling agreements are coming. allan@fbcpublishing.com

cil of Canada. When spraying the same field a second time, a different group should be used to delay the onset of fungicide resistance, he added. Cases of sclerotinia resistance to benomyl (Benolate) have been detected in Western Canada, Turkington said.

Pioneer brand Soybean varieties

In most cases, a properly staged and applied application is sufficient, said Derksen.

Some canolas are sclerotinia tolerant, but none are currently resistant, Turkington said. Those varieties should be sprayed with a fungicide when exposed to a lot of disease under conducive weather conditions, he said.

Sclerotinia-resistant canola is the “Holy Grail” and Agriculture Canada is making progress — such varieties could be available in five to 10 years, Turkington said.

In the meantime, he recommends an integrated approach to control, including good seed, fertility and proper seeding depth.

Some varieties are more subject to lodging and lodged crops can harbour more moisture and the disease can spread faster.

With sclerotinia so prevalent in Manitoba, including in some weeds, crop rotation alone cannot usually prevent it.

Pedal kits are available to help farmers assess their crop’s risk to sclerotinia.

The canola council also had a photographic guide and checklist farmers can download and use in the field to assess the risk. It’s available at: https://canola-council.merchantsecure.com/canola_ resources/product11.aspx.

here’s little point spraying canola at 50 per cent bloom or later for protection against sclerotinia, says a plant pathologist with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives.

“You may see a visual difference (less disease) but there won’t be a yield difference,” said Holly Derksen.

If conditions warrant, the ideal time to apply a fungicide is at 20 to 30 per cent bloom. The right conditions include the presence of apothecia (the small mushroomlike structure that spew disease spores), high in-crop moisture, and moderate growing temperatures. If it’s dry and hot — 30 C or warmer, the sclerotinia risk is reduced.

Many farmers in Manitoba’s Red River Valley routinely spray because sclerotinia is ubiquitous and weather conditions are usually right for the disease. A lot of that spraying has already occurred, Derksen said.

However, in western Manitoba many canola crops are just coming into the right stage for spraying.

Farmers can assess their canola fields’ moisture while scouting for apothecia. If your pant legs are wet after walking through the crop at 9 a.m., then there’s probably enough moisture for the disease to grow.

If the farmer gets wet walking the crop in the afternoon there’s almost certainly enough moisture for the disease.

Finding apothecia adds to the risk, but not finding them doesn’t eliminate the risk, said Kelly Turkington, with Agriculture and AgriFood Canada in Lacombe, Alta.

Apothecia could be in part of the field that wasn’t checked, and can also be present in adjacent fields — even if not seeded to canola.

When in doubt, consider a split application, but only if the fungicide is registered for that, Turkington said during a webinar sponsored by the Canola Coun-

Spring wheat posts its highest price of open-market era Watch for rising wedges in bear markets and falling wedges in bull markets, where they are most apt to occur David Drozd Market Outlook

R

ed spring wheat grading No. 1 13.5 per cent protein reached $8 per bushel for the 2012-13 crop year. This is the highest price farmers have been able to lock in, since the open-market era was announced in midDecember 2011.

True to form, wheat prices began their seasonal tur n higher, just as the U.S. winter wheat harvest approached its midpoint. Also not surprising was the fact wheat prices put in a contract low just before turning back up.

Technically, spring wheat prices on the December 2012 MGEX futures contract exceeded the upper boundary of a falling wedge in May 2012. Prices then had a downward correction, held support, and reversed back up after a two-day reversal (buy signal) materialized on June 14.

Spring wheat prices quickly gained $1.12 per bushel in the following 10-day period, with prices achieving the falling wedge objective of $8.32 per bushel.

A wedge is an upward or downward slanting formation which contains all price activity between its converging boundaries. The essential feature distinguishing a wedge from any of the various triangle formations is the accentuated slope of the pattern.

Wedges are classified as either rising or falling (sloping

up or down). The wedge pattern implies a minor or intermediate turn. A rising wedge occurring in a major downtrend is bearish.

Conversely, a falling wedge is bullish. The pattern is completed when prices break out from their converging boundaries. For a rising wedge this means a decline through its lower boundary and for the falling wedge it’s an advance t h ro u g h i t s u p p e r b o u n d ary. Wedges occur with a fair degree of frequency in the futures markets.

One should be on the alert for rising wedges in bear markets and falling wedges in bull markets, as this is where they are most apt to occur and are most reliable.

As a rule, after the pattern is completed prices should re t ra c e a l l o f t h e ve r t i c a l movement compr ising the wedge. This is reflected in the accompanying chart, with the recent rally back up to $8.32 per bushel.

Market psychology

Often, wedges will begin with a high-volume day marking at least a temporary end to the current price move. In the case of a falling wedge, which is illustrated in the accompanying chart, this move will have been up. Typically, the market’s rally has had the speculative shorts on the run.

The wedge begins to form as their buying exodus peaks.

With the weakest shor ts now out, additional buying pressure at prevailing prices is absent. All remaining shorts in the market have made the

financial and psychological commitment to at least hold for a downturn. With buying abated, prices begin to slip lower.

Progress is slow but the pattern is clear as prices put in a series of lower minor highs and lows. At first, nor mal profit-taking by the longs triggers the decline, but soon hedgers and short speculators make their presence felt by selling on the now small bounces in price. The market’s inability to rally to higher minor highs attracts additional sellers.

Highs begin to erode faster than the lows, giving the pattern its narrowing shape. The converging boundaries of

Don’t miss the boat

the wedge signify its limited duration. Speculative selling continues to erode the market, but volume fails to grow, which is a reason for caution.

There is no great quantity of contracts for sale above the market, so each time the selling diminishes the market is able to bounce back up. The decline will progressively gain less ground until all the potential sellers have been satisfied. At this point, instead of simply backing off, the market longs begin to go bargain hunting. New longs, as well as existing shorts now comprise the buyers.

A penetration of the upper boundary of the falling wedge (point A), confirms

the breakout and resumption of the uptrend. Thanks to the falling wedge objective, farmers and traders alike were able to anticipate the recent rally to $8.32.

familiar face in canola research has joined the Canola Council of Canada as its new vice-president of crop production.

Curtis Rempel, who has been serving as acting director of the Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals at the University of Manitoba, will join the council July 17.

Rempel is stepping into the position previously held by Denise Maurice, who died accidentally late last year.

“We are very fortunate to have an individual of Curtis’s calibre to lead our crop production team,” said canola council presid e n t Pa t t i Mi l l e r. “No t only does he have a deep understanding of all fac-

tors related to crop production, but he also has a strong science background and close connections with the agriculture research community.”

Rempel grew up on a far m near Landmark, Man. He holds two master’s degrees in business administration (University of Guelph) and plant science (University of Manitoba), as well as a PhD in environmental biology and biotechnology from University of Guelph.

He has been both adjunct professor at University of Ma n i t o b a a n d re s e a rc h and development manager at the Richardson Centre.

Previously he was involved in marketing, business strategy and development with Monsanto Co.

CROP REPORT

Dry heat helps fields recover from excess moisture Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives – Report for July 3, 2012 Weekly Provincial Summary

• The continuing warm and dry weather conditions are advancing crops, allowing producers to make good progress with haying operations, and permitting herbicide and fungicide applications to continue.

• Strong weather systems passed through parts of the Southwest, Northwest and Central Regions causing damage to trees and farm infrastructure. Only impact to crops noted to date is temporary lodging of the more advanced crops and some hail damage.

Southwest Region

All cereal crops are advancing well with the earliest crops heading and the later crops in the flagleaf stage. Producers have been applying fungicides. Early-seeded canola crops are bolting and in some areas are being sprayed for disease. Damage from flea beetles,

cutworms, and excess moisture is evident in some fields. Corn and sunflowers are progressing well.

Producers started haying over the past week with several starting early due to alfalfa weevil. Yields are average to below average.

Quality is rated as good.

Pastures in most areas are rated as good.

Northwest Region

While fields have dried, the laterseeded canola is showing symptoms of excess moisture including drowned-out areas and poor crop development. Cereal crop yellowing has improved significantly.

Herbicide applications are complete. Fungicide application is general on cereals and canola. In The Pas, spray conditions are difficult with wet fields and advanced weed staging.

Hay and pasture growth has improved. Haying operations are more general with the favourable

conditions. The yields of first cuts are average.

Central Region

Winter wheat is in the milk to soft-dough stage. Towards the end of this week, application of preharvest glyphosate may occur on the most advanced fields. Staging of the spring wheat ranging from heading to early-milk stage. Barley and oats crops range from stem elongation to early-milk stage.

The warm-season crops are generally looking good as a result of the warm weather.

Producers are focusing on spraying canola for sclerotinia.

Some reports of flower loss due to hot, dry conditions may impact yield.

Hay crop yields are average to slightly below average. Moisture is needed for regrowth for a second cut. Livestock water supplies are tight and dugout levels are below average.

Eastern Region

About 70 per cent of the winter wheat crop is in the dough stage.

The majority of spring wheat is in the heading/flowering growth stage. Across the region most of the canola is flowering and fungicide applications for sclerotinia are occurring. The most advanced canola is transitioning to pod filling. Flax is flowering, as are field peas. Sunflowers and soybeans are in the vegetative stages. Corn is in the V6 to V13 growth stages. In general, the condition of annual crops is rated as good.

First-cut haying has been proceeding across the region with at least 60 per cent of the crop cut or baled.

Overall quality is rated as good. Hay yields are lower than expected in areas that experienced drier conditions.

Pasture conditions are generally rated as fair to good.

Interlake Region

Crops are advancing rapidly with warm, moist weather. Corn is generally “knee-high” while soybeans are at the second- to fourth-trifoliate stage with some flowering.

Canola and flax are flowering.

Fungicide application on cereal and canola crops was general.

Leafcutter bee release on alfalfa seed crops is complete. Insecticide application on timothy seed to control army worms has been reported in the Riverton area.

High humidity on the weekend did cause delays in hay drying.

Some producers are reporting hay yields below expectations.

Dry conditions and the need for forage restoration are the main causes.

Alfalfa weevils are quite active and causing some damage to hay crops.

Pasture production is excellent.

Dugout levels are below average for this time of year.

Table: Cattle market schedules Ashern Now closed until August

T

he cattle auction yards in Manitoba continued to operate in a holiday-reduced atmosphere, but values for the cattle market held fully steady levels during the week ended June 29.

The fully steady levels came despite the “significant” drop seen in U.S. livestock futures over the same week, an industry official said.

“We had an increase in the grains, especially in corn prices in the U.S., and there was just some selling by speculators that pushed the U.S. cattle futures prices down,” said Rick Wright, a buyer with Heartland Order Buying Co. Cattle prices in Manitoba managed to remain steady, he said, because offerings during the week were “very” light as there were only a few markets open.

Many cattle auction markets are slowing down sales, or shutting down for the summer because they don’t have enough volume to justify holding sales. For a schedule of what markets will be closed as part of the summer slowdown at cattle auction marts, please see the schedule table.

The Ste. Rose Auction Mart was supposed to hold one last sale before closing for the summer on June 28, but didn’t have enough animals on hand to hold the sale. It will reopen in the fall.

Strong demand, especially locally, also contributed to some of the price strength at Manitoba cattle auction marts during the week, Wright said.

“The projected markets in Manitoba for August, September and October are extremely strong and with that in mind, the cash price then looks like it could be stronger than it is now,” he said. “So, locally a lot of producers are buying up stock to put in their pastures, just speculating that the market will get better.”

“Phenomenal”

Demand for slaughter cattle was also very strong, he said, especially in the U.S. because

more people are eating cheaper cuts of meat such as hamburger during the barbecue season.

A neighbouring auction in Yorkton, Sask. saw over 600 slaughter cattle at auction during the week, Wright said. He said that’s “phenomenal” and sales saw a larger-than-normal number of cattle at auction, because of steady demand from the barbecue sector in the U.S. Values and demand for slaughter cattle in Manitoba also remained above seasonal norms, he said. However, they weren’t as strong as they were in the week prior.

Most of the selling of cattle that happened in Manitoba this week was local and not for the export sector, he said. “There was very little exporting out of the province because there just weren’t enough cattle to build any herds.”

Wright predicts Manitoba cattle auction marts won’t see a lot of activity over the summer as producers send cattle out to pasture to fatten up.

Cattle farmers are probably going to wait to sell until the fall, he said, when prices are expected to be even stronger than they are now.

“It’s going to be a very quiet summer by the looks of things,” he said.

Canadian dollar within reach of U.S. parity

Toronto ($/cwt) 16.00 - 39.15 30.55 - 48.98

The Canadian dollar has shown some weakness over the last month, largely as a result of concerns over the European economy. But analysts are still expecting to see the Canadian dollar reach parity with the U.S. greenback by the end of the year.

After reaching parity with the U.S. dollar in May, the Canadian dollar fell in June, trading in the 97- to 98-cent range.

The European financial crisis kept Canadian commodity prices low during June. Declines in oil and gold pressured values lower as investors shied away from trading in commoditylinked currencies like the loonie, said Shaun Osborne, chief FX strategist at TD Securities.

Osborne added that European financial uncertainties forced the Bank of Canada to push back its interest rate increase from some time during 2012 to early 2013, which caused weakness in the dollar as well.

Osborne also said investors are looking for long-term solutions to solve the debt crisis that could strengthen the Canadian dollar.

“There’s no silver bullet here. What investors really want to see is a move toward mutualization of European debt,” said Osborne.

In order for the loonie to rebound, concerns about a global slowdown need to ease, so that commodity prices can begin to climb again, Paul Ferley assistant chief economist at RBC Economies said. More actions like the one recently announced by European Union leaders to provide bailout money and reduce austerity measures in indebted countries could contribute to commodity prices and boost the dollar’s value.

U.S. weather rally buries bearish acreage reports Speculators are still keeping an eye on Europe’s woes Phil Franz-Warkentin CNSC

P

arts of Western Canada may have seen some heavy rain during the week ended June 29, but it was the lack of moisture south of the border that was behind most of the sharp gains in North American grains and oilseeds during the week.

The majority of the U.S. Midwest’s cornand soybean-growing regions could really use a drink, and the longer the forecasts remain hot and dry, the longer the weather rally could continue. New contract highs were hit in CBOT (Chicago Board of Trade) soybeans, corn and wheat during the week — with the largest gains in corn, which is most susceptible to yield reductions at this time of year.

For three-times-daily market reports from Commodity News Service Canada, visit “ICE Futures Canada updates” at www.manitobacooperator.ca.

Canadian canola futures came along for the ride, hitting new highs as well before running into some upside resistance. The November contract finished the week just a few dollars below the psychological $600-per-tonne level, and a break above that chart point could set the stage for a rally into the $650 level if U.S. fundamentals remain supportive in the background.

The U.S. weather rally was so overpowering that a couple of relatively bearish acreage reports on both sides of the border were quickly swept to the sidelines. Statistics Canada released updated acreage estimates on June 27 pegging canola area at a record 21.3 million acres. While the headline number was in line with trade estimates, it still represented a significant jump above the previous record of 18.9 million acres set only last year.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture raised its acreage expectations for both soybeans and corn in that country to levels at the high end of trade guesses. However, declining yield prospects were taking precedence over how much land may or may not have been seeded.

U.S. corn acres were estimated at 96.4 million, which compares with 91.9 million in 2011. Soybeans were pegged at 76.8 million,

from 75 million last year. Overall U.S. wheat acres were also up on the year; however, the total spring wheat number could be seen as slightly supportive for prices. USDA estimated U.S. spring wheat area at 12 million acres, which would actually be down from the 12.4 million seeded in 2011.

The weather is really the only thing anyone in the agriculture markets is talking about these days, but European economic issues also continue to percolate in the background.

The global equity and currency markets saw some wild price swings during the week in response to the latest news out of the region.

As of Friday, the most up-to-date news was that European leaders had come up with a plan to deal with the debt crisis, which triggered a round of speculative buying in many markets. Crude oil jumped by over US$7 per barrel, the Canadian dollar gained more than a penny relative to its U.S. counterpart, and stock markets rose around the world.

However, if the past couple of months are any indication, any optimism out of Europe may prove short lived. Agriculture markets may be in the midst of a weather rally, but it’s worth noting that the speculative money could easily find someplace else to go if global financial jitters come forward again.

Closing time

In other news, Canadian traders, and those who follow the markets, were forced to work an extra 45 minutes a day during the week, as ICE Futures Canada bumped its daily close back to 2 p.m. Winnipeg time from the traditional 1:15 p.m. close. The move was made to put the Canadian hours in line with the recently expanded U.S. markets. While it may be too soon to pass judgment on the longer hours, the volumes in canola could best be described as somewhat subdued during the week. Two key acreage reports were released and prices may have hit new highs, but actual activity in terms of contracts traded was not that much different than the previous week.

As a percentage of open interest, volumes were actually a little softer than the same period a year ago.

Milling wheat, durum and barley futures at ICE Futures Canada saw no actual trade during the week, but the rallying U.S. grain futures were enough to generate bids and offers to pull the wheat and barley prices quoted by the exchange higher during the week. With only one more month until the shift to a total open market for wheat and barley, time may be running out for the Canadian grain futures if trade doesn’t pick up soon.

CBOT, grain traders face off in court chicago / reuters / CME Group faced off with a group of traders in Federal Court June 26 over new rules for settling end-of-day grain prices that the traders fear will put them out of business.

The traders, who work in the open-outcry pits at CME’s Chicago Board of Trade, are fighting to preserve a century-old tradition of settling futures prices for crops like corn and soybeans based on transactions executed on the historic trading floor.

They sued the exchange to reverse its decision to incorporate electronic activity into

settlement prices, worried the change will shift volume away from the pits. The new settlement rules took effect June 25.

As a result of the change, floor traders “are going to sustain serious, irreparable injury,” Richard Goldwasser, a lawyer for the traders, told U.S. District Judge John Darrah.

Darrah said the issue was complex and admonished the traders for waiting until the last minute to file their lawsuit.

CME submitted details on the new rules to the CFTC on May 24.

“I acknowledge that there is an emergency,” Darrah said. “The question is, who caused the emergency?” The court scheduled another hearing for Aug. 14.

Manitoba’s only lizard is being protected and studied The Northern Prairie Skink has made Manitoba’s endangered species list

Species now protected

The Northern Prairie Skink is Manitoba’s only true lizard. It, along with 27 other species of plants, animals and birds will now be protected under Manitoba law. PHOTO: B. STILWELL

By Bill Stilwell FOR MANITOBA HABITAT HERITAGE CORPORATION

V

ery little is actually known about the skink, and as a result a skink-monitoring project is underway. It is being carried out by a volunteer, Devon Baete, on behalf of the Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation.

For the past two summers, Baete has talked to landowners who have Northern Prairie Skinks (skink) on their property. With their permission, he places out small pieces of plywood on the ground and skinks will crawl under these during the heat of the day. He goes back and monitors these locations to record skink sightings. Last summer he documented 30 skinks.

The skink is Manitoba’s only true lizard. It is endangered and found only in the sandy regions of southwestern Manitoba, with the largest concentrations located between MacGregor and Shilo. It is a smooth, shiny, olive-green lizard with dark stripes. Adults range in length from 127 mm to 204 mm (five to eight inches).

While protecting sandhill habitat is important for protecting the endangered Northern Prairie Skink, this is far from the only type of wildlife that makes its home here. In fact, different reptiles are frequently observed while monitoring the skinks, according to Baete. In his recent travels, he has noted hognose snake, red-bellied snake, smooth green snake and garter snake.

Skinks are an elusive little lizard that is hard to find and when you do, they are gone in the blink of an eye. They make their home in the sandhills and very few people ever get the chance to see one.

Sigried Johnson lives on a Glenboro-area farm.

“Skinks are good things; they like eating crickets and grasshoppers.”

ROSALIE SIGURDSON

Sightings of skinks are very rare, she says and when you do see them, it can be brief. “Last summer I saw one in my tomato plants down in the garden,” Sigried said. “It is very hard to catch a glimpse of one as they move at a heck of a rate.

They take you by surprise and then are gone.”

Like other landowners, she enjoys having them around as they do no harm and she enjoys seeing them.

Her neighbour agrees. “Skinks are good things; they like eating crickets and grasshoppers,” said Rosalie Sigurdson. “There’s no problem having them around.” Rosalie noted that she most often finds skinks in openings along the south-facing side of hills on their property.

Recently, the Sigurdsons and Johnsons took an extra step and permanently protected their farms’ sandhill habitat with a Conservation Agreement (CA) to ensure the skinks’ future well-being.

While the skink’s exact habitat needs are not fully understood, habitat managers know that protecting sandhills is beneficial. Ensuring that sandhill areas remain in their natural condition is one way of ensuring the long-term survival of this rare, yet ecologically important reptile.

As more and more of this land gets converted from its natural state, protecting the remaining tracts of suitable habitat becomes even more important. As a result, the Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation (MHHC) actively works with landowners to protect skink habitat on private land.

The Johnson farm is typical sandhill topography and in addition to finding a range of snakes similar to Baete’s observations Sigried notices many birds. Some of her recent observations include indigo bunting, eastern phoebe, owls, hummingbirds, and in their small wetland, a variety of ducks.

The Sigurdsons appreciate the other sandhill critters, especially the frogs. Rosalie’s keen ear regularly captures the calls from wood frog, boreal chorus frog, grey tree frog and leopard frog.

Sigurdson recommends the use of Conservation Agreements to protect habitat.

“They are particularly good for people interested in preserving land for animals and other wildlife,” she said.

CAs are a form of easement and a tool that allows landowners to permanently protect the habitat on a portion of their property for future generations. They continue to hold title to the land and enjoy all the other benefits of landownership.

For more information on Conservation Agreements contact a Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation office at 204-729-3502 or visit the website at www.mhhc.mb.ca.

Twenty-seven species would be declared as extirpated, endangered or threatened under the proposed Endangered Species Act, Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh said. This includes one mammal, 13 birds, one lizard, six moths, one butterfly, one snake, one mussel and three plants.

The newly protected species range from the once mighty Plains bison, which now only exists in captivity to the tiny poweshiek skipperling, a small brown butterfly, which is found only in the native tall grass prairie of southeast Manitoba, making this one of the last remaining populations in the world.

The trumpeter swan was previously listed as extirpated, but is being upgraded to endangered due to the return of a small but recovering breeding population documented in Manitoba since 2002. There are at least four Manitoba breeding locations observed each year. Here is a complete list:

Extirpated: Plains bison Endangered: Canada warbler (Wilsonia canadensis) Chestnut-collared longspur (Calcarius ornatus) Dusky dune moth (Copablepharon longipenne) Ferruginous hawk (Buteo regalis) Gattinger’s agalinis (Agalinis gattingeri) Gold-edged gem (Schinia avemensis) Ivory gull (Pagophila eburnean) Least bittern (Ixobrychus exilis) Mapleleaf mussel (Quadrula quadrula) Pale yellow dune moth (Copablepharon grandis) Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) Prairie skink (Eumeces septentrionalis) Red knot rufa subspecies (Calidris canutus rufa) Rough agalinis (Agalinis aspera) Smooth goosefoot (Chenopodium subglabrum) Trumpeter swan (Cygnus buccinator) Verna’s flower moth (Schinia verna) Western ironweed (Vernonia fasciculata) White flower moth (Schinia Bimatris) Threatened: Chimney swift (Chaetura pelagic) Common nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) Golden-winged warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) Red-headed woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) Short-eared owl (Asio flammeus) Western hognose snake (Heterodon nasicus) Whip-poor-will (Caprimulgus vociferus)

Strawberry Amaretto Pastries

Black Currant and Orange Coffee Cake

This recipe is found on the home page of Good Earth Gardens and Berries, a four-acre strawberry farm near Glenboro owned by John and Pam Griffin. This is the Griffins’ fourth harvest year and they hoped to have strawberries ready to pick this week. You can find the strawberry farm on Highway 2 near Glenboro, two km east of the junction of Highways 2 and 5.

I have made this wonderful, moist and incredibly delicious cake several times and vouch for it as a perfect cake for a special occasion. Even if black currants aren’t a fruit you typically consume, you will love these berries after sampling this cake. This recipe comes from Stonelane Orchard, located just east of Steinbach and owned by Kim Shukla and Richard Whitehead. Stonelane Orchard specializes in Prairie-hardy trees and shrubs, gourmet vegetables (over 25 different types) and Prairie fruit such as raspberries, black currants, grapes and saskatoons. They also do landscape consultation and planning.

O

pening soon!

That’s what most fruit farmers were saying early last week when I checked the Prairie Fruit Growers Association website.

By now, many will be open — unless we’ve had an unexpected turn of weather recently.

This year you may spot on pails, aprons or baskets a bright reminder of why you eagerly anticipate sampling the first Manitoba-grown berries local farmers grow.

“It’s the Taste” is the slogan growers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are beginning to adopt this year as part of a new fruit branding program in effect.

The slogan will be affixed to pails, signs, baskets, maybe even hats and vehicles as growers voluntarily sign on to the branding program.

Cobbler Buckle Crumble Riverbend Orchards Inc. is the new name for a familiar company in Portage la Prairie. In spring 2009, Philip and Karen Ronald purchased Linden’s B B Farm. The Ronalds and their five children hope to continue the tradition of providing locally grown fruit for consumers in the central plains region of Manitwoba.

Riverbend Orchards grows saskatoons, raspberries, blackberries, sour cherries, apples, gooseberries, plums, rhubarb and blackberries.

They’re also a licensed propagator of cherry and haskap plants. I found the following recipe from Alberta Farm Fresh Producers Association on a link via the website of Riverbend Orchards (www. riverbendorchards.ca). It’s listed as a cobbler buckle crumble because it’s dessert with several different names. Warm, it is a pudding, and cooled, it is a cake. Either way, it’s delicious and served with ice cream it’s heavenly!

1/4 c. butter or margarine 1/2 c. granulated sugar 1 egg 1 c. flour (1/2 whole wheat) 3 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/3 c. milk 3 c. saskatoons

1 c. unsalted butter 2 c. granulated sugar 4 eggs 2-3/4 c. all-purpose flour 1-1/2 tsps. baking powder 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 2 c. fresh black currants 1 c. slivered almonds 1 tbsp. orange peel, coarsely grated 1 c. sour cream Glaze: 1/4 c. orange juice 1/4 c. granulated sugar 1 tbsp. orange liqueur (optional)

Grease a 9-inch tube pan and set aside. Preheat oven to 325 F. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and cloves. Stir in the black currants, almonds and orange peel. Stir into the batter in three parts, alternating with sour cream in two parts. Scrape batter into prepared pan, tapping pan lightly on the counter to release air bubbles. Bake for 1-1/2 hours or until the cake has come away from the sides of the pan and a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto rack and set right side up.

GLAZE: In a small saucepan, heat together juice

and sugar until syrupy. Stir in liqueur if using.

While cake is still warm, use a skewer to make about 25 holes about 2 inches (5 cm) deep in the top of the cake. Drizzle orange syrup over top of cake and let cool completely. Serve immediately or freeze. Serves: One large cake that can be cut into approximately 20 pieces.

Topping: 1/3 c. sugar 1/2 c. flour 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 c. butter or margarine

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat. Add dry ingredients alternatively with milk. Mix well and pour into well-greased baking dish. It may be baked in a 9-inch square pan for a thick dessert or in a 9x12-inch pan for a thin dessert. Sprinkle saskatoons over batter. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter and spread evenly over berries. Bake in a 350 F oven for 40-45 minutes.

Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Horse expedition to raise awareness Albertans pass through Manitoba to help support survivors of exploitation

Even when these children are removed from the abusive situations, their ordeal is not over.

T

wo horsemen riding along a ditch in this neck of the woods may not be out of the ordinary, however, the two Albertans on horseback who passed through Shoal Lake in early June were on a mission.

Leaving Edmonton on May 9, Alick Brooke and Guy Bourassa, passed the 1,000-km mark as they reached Russell travelling east en route to Halifax, N.S. if they and their three horses — two sevenyear-old quarter-horses and an eightyear-old Shire — hold out.

Riding 35 to 40 km per day depending on the horses’ moods, energy and the weather, the pair are riding for the Angel Express Society, a non-profit organization, which supports the survivors of child exploitation.

“We are striving to raise awareness

and generate funds to support programs that benefit these youth,” said Brooke, a retired chief information officer of Alberta Children’s Services. “Canadians must realize child sexual abuse is a large problem in this country. One in three girls or one in six children will be sexually abused.”

“Riding day in and day out is harder than anything I have done,” said 46-yearold Bourassa, a former professional bareback and bull rider. “I retired from the rodeo circuit a year ago, and upon dealing with the weather — rain, snow, wind — the ride has been an amazing challenge.”

Bourassa said while they have met some great people, financial donations have been slow to come by, a third of the way into the expedition.

“As a society we have failed these kids the first time around and can’t forget the second,” said Brooke, who is the ride’s

founder. “Youth who find themselves in this situation feel they are second-class citizens and a lot don’t report the abuse.

Their lives can be changed if we can get to them soon enough,” added Brooke, who has worked with children in one way or another for over 38 years.

Takes many forms

Child exploitation can take many forms such as child abuse — physical or sexual — child labour or child trafficking.

In recent years the Internet has added a complexity to the problem of child exploitation by making access to child abuse images more readily available.

According to The Canadian Press there are more than 60,000 Canadians, and 600,000 Americans involved in the distribution of child abuse images. With numbers this large, it is the responsibility of the people in both countries to do what they can to put a stop to this. Most

important is to provide the appropriate support that these children will need to move on with their lives.

A portion of the funds raised by Angel Express will go to those organizations that deal with the criminal aspect of the problem, but the majority will go to those programs that deal with providing support to the children who are victims of exploitation. So much of the attention given to this issue is focused on the criminal aspect. The Angel Express funds will focus primarily on the children impacted by these abusive acts.

Even when these children are removed from the abusive situations, their ordeal is not over. The impact of the experiences that they have gone through will leave emotional scars that these children and their families could deal with every day for the rest of their lives.

Brooke said there are three ways of aiding their cause to find a new normal for these youth. Donations can be passed along with Brooke and Bourassa on their expedition, directly to sexual abuse centres in care of Angel Express, or by visiting the organization's website theange lexpress.com.

Child sexual exploitation is really the sexual abuse of a child. No child decides to be violated physically, emotionally and psychologically. The devastating results of child sexual exploitation and abuse are long lasting and far reaching. The lost potential for a child who may not be recovered costs every one of us. The time to recognize, speak up against and intervene on this heinous form of abuse which can occur in any community and crosses all social, economic and cultural backgrounds, is now.

Be sun savvy this summer We all need vitamin D but be smart about getting it

By Julie Garden-Robinson NDSU EXTENSION SERVICE

On the nutrition and health side, exposure to sunlight helps our body manufacture some vitamin D. However, according to some studies, we need only about 15 minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen twice a week to make enough vitamin D. Adequate vitamin D helps build and maintain strong bones, plus it may help protect us from heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Many people are deficient in vitamin D, especially during our long winter months when standing outdoors for 15 minutes is not very practical.

Few foods naturally contain vitamin D. Some that do are salmon, tuna and eggs.

Fortified foods, such as milk, some types

of orange juice, yogurt and cereal, also provide vitamin D. As we enjoy the warmth of the summer sun and stock up on vitamin D, we also need to take a few precautions. Try this true/false quiz: 1. True or false: You can get sunburned on a cloudy day.

2. True or false: Vehicle windows do not block the rays of the sun.

3. True or false: The majority of people diagnosed with melanoma are white men more than the age of 50.

All these statements are true. While everyone is at risk for skin cancer, some people are at a higher risk. If you use a

tanning bed, you are at higher risk for skin cancer. Tanning beds are on the list of “known carcinogens,” according to the Food and Drug Administration.

Having a family history of skin cancer, lots of moles or freckles, fair skin, blue or green eyes and/or naturally blonde, red or light-brown hair also puts you at a higher risk. If you do not use sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30, you are at a higher risk for skin cancer.

Just one severe sunburn doubles your risk of developing skin cancer. That is why covering up in the sun is so important. Hats with three-inch brims all the way around, long-sleeved shirts, sunglasses and sunscreen are a must.

Be sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen 20 minutes before sun expo-

sure and reapply every two hours. You also need to reapply your sunscreen after sweating, getting wet or towel drying.

Be sure to do regular self-skin exams and remember “ABCD.” Look for “asymmetrical” spots, “borders” that are irregular and a “colour” that is uneven or that has changed. Look for moles or suspicious spots with a “diameter” larger than the size of a pencil eraser.

Be sun savvy. Protect yourself from skin cancer. Visit http://www.cancer.org for more sun-safe tips.

Take walking to the next level Pole walking will use more muscles and burn more calories

By Candy Irwin Freelance contributor

N

Pole walking reduces the impact stress on joints and allows for a better workout than regular walking. PHOTO: CANDY IRWIN

Sunrise serenade

ow that summer’s here, why not consider “Pole Walking,” also known as “Nordic Walking” or “Urban Poling.”

My introduction to pole walking was two years ago, when on a trip to Iceland I spotted several people using what I thought of as “hiking poles.” Back in Winnipeg, I saw a pair of walking poles in a running store, so I purchased them, brought them home to my Lake Audy ranch and began doing my research.

First, you customize the pole length so that when gripped and placed in a perpendicular position, your elbow is bent at 90 degrees and your forearm is parallel to the ground. Like Nordic ski poles, there is a wrist strap, so that you can relax your grip without losing your poles. Most poles have a telescoping two-piece twist lock or pin lock system.

I chose the pin lock system to eliminate the worry of the pole loosening and collapsing, which could perhaps cause a stumble and fall. Also, I thought the ease of use of the pin lock adjustment would be better, should I one day have arthritis in my hands or wrists.

Overall, this system has worked well, except for one small problem. On a breezy day, the graduated holes in the aluminum tubing that aren’t in use tend to make random sounds, like the sound made when one blows over the opening of a bottle. This was remedied by putting a strip of reflective tape on each pole.

The poles come with removable tips, so you can choose the correct one for the surface on which you’ll be walking.

There are hard rubber tips for surfaces such as concrete, carbon fibre tips for walking on gravel and trails, and even baskets for use in sand or snow.

While regular brisk walking promotes good health, poling takes walking to the next level. When you walk with poles, it

is simply an enhancement of your normal arm swing, but can be compared to the difference between two-wheel and four-wheel drive. Regular walking doesn’t allow the upper body to get much of a workout, but when you add walking poles, 90 per cent of the body’s muscles are engaged.

Once you get the hang of it, you begin to apply downward force to the poles, resulting in a springier step and elongated stride. European studies in the late 1990s showed that pole walking increased cardiovascular activity, enhanced muscular and aerobic fitness and improved overall vitality. Your chest, lats, triceps, biceps, shoulder, abdominals, spinal and other core muscles become significantly engaged, and one study found that pole walking can consume 400 calories per hour, as opposed to 280 per hour for regular walking.

This all sounds very athletic, but it really isn’t. Pole walking can be a kinder, gentler way to exercise than jogging.

If you have arthritis, pole walking will reduce the impact stress on hips, knees, ankles and heels. The poles promote proper posture and body alignment and bone density can be increased through this mild type of resistance training, making it an activity suitable for all ages.

Please don’t use your cross-country ski poles to give this a try. Besides being much shorter, walking poles are specifically designed to promote this activity, and good-quality ones can be purchased for around $50. The only other equipment you need is a pair of comfortable walking shoes.

Before beginning, I would suggest attending a demonstration clinic or watching instructional videos such as those found at www.keenfit.com, and don’t forget to stretch before setting out, to prevent injury. Go on — get moving!

After years of hoping for wrens to take up housekeeping in a fancy birdhouse our son had given me, just one wren arrived early this spring. I suspect it may have been a lovesick bachelor intent on attracting a mate. No moonlight serenading for this guy, however. He was an early riser — 4 a.m. to be exact. Awakened one morning by his incessant singing just outside the bedroom window, I decided to tally up the repeats of his song. At a continual rate of 10 times a minute, that meant 600 times an hour and 1,500 times in 2-1/2 hours before calling it quits.

“That was some rehearsal!” my music conductor husband said when I complained. “If only all singers were that dedicated to practice.”

Rabbit co-op formed to boost supplies

There is demand for rabbit meat but inconsistent supply makes it tough to secure processing A pair of Killarney-area rabbit producers has launched a co-operative to help members get their meat to market.

By Shannon VanRaes CO-OPERATOR STAFF

R

abbit Producers Co-op Ltd. was formed at a meeting in late May, spearheaded by Luc Laflamme and his wife Linda Filteau, owners of Ecuries Paulyphipas Ranch.

“We had a meeting where about 56 people came out; there was a lot of interest,” said Laflamme, adding the new co-op will stretch across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

He said the group has already secured a contract with a processor in Minnesota, and a new plant set to begin operation in Alberta has offered an exclusive contract to the newly formed co-op.

“They are both looking for 3,000 rabbits a month, so we are talking about 6,000 rabbits each month,” said Laflamme.

The role of the co-op will be to secure larger contracts, garner favourable rates on equipment, and in time, possibly promote rabbit meat as a healthy alternative to more traditional fare, such as pork, chicken and beef, he said.

Although there is demand for rabbit meat, Laflamme said it has been difficult for Manitoba producers to get their products to market.

Lauri Zwarich of the Manitoba Poultry, Rabbits and Pet Stock Association, said she noticed a downturn in Manitoba’s rabbit industry about six years ago.

At that time feed prices began to increase, and higher fuel prices made shipping rabbits to slaughter facilities, or taking them to locations as live food, more expensive, said Zwarich.

Although rabbits can survive on forage, most commercial operations rely on formulated pellet foods, not unlike what a pet rabbit might be fed.

“It would be really great to see the industry up and going again,” she said. “It’s a really neat business, and the meat is one of the healthiest you can eat, very low fat and low cholesterol.”

The rabbit grower noted there is still a market for the meat locally, especially in Winnipeg, but without a federally inspected slaughter facility in the province it’s difficult to move beyond a niche product.

“That’s been the biggest problem

over the years, and I’ve been doing this for 20 years,” said Zwarich, who still keeps 36 commercial does, down from 60 a few years ago.

“We’ve always had to transport ours down to the States, as far away as California, for processing,” she said, adding although she isn’t a member, she hopes the new co-op is successful.

At one time, a plant in Swift Current processed rabbits, but an inconsistent supply made the facility non-viable. Rabbit stocks increase over the summer months, but can drop by about 50 per cent over the winter, Zwarich said.

Some provincial slaughter facilities do process rabbit in Manitoba, but not on a large scale.

Josef Krieger and his younger brother Jonathan are just starting out raising and selling rabbits in Steinbach, but would like to be able to sell to a wider market.

“Right now, we are just doing it locally, a lot of one here and some there,” Josef said.

But he knows if there was a place to slaughter them conveniently he could sell more, noting he has received inquiries from as far away as the Northwest Territories.

Like many, the brothers were drawn to the business because you can start small.

“My grandpa in Germany always had rabbits, and we were always eating rabbits, so this seemed right,” he said.

But don’t expect a gentlemanly Peter Rabbit, or heroic Hazel in your

rabbit hutch. Raising rabbits means contending with a host of personalities and social issues.

“If you put too many bucks together they might castrate themselves, and I have been bitten a few times by the rabbits; you just take precautions,” said Laflamme. “But they are not too difficult to raise.”

Zwarich agreed that raising rabbits can present challenges, especially as little research has been done on them compared to other livestock.

“There is a lot of learning that needs to be done, I’m still learning,” she said. “All these animals are individuals; they are really fascinating that way, you almost have to have a black heart to work with them sometimes.”

But despite the challenges, Zwarich said it is possible to make a living raising rabbits.

“You can do it, but you need an awful lot, and the number would be even higher today,” she said, estimating it would take about 500 commercial does to make a primary income.

“All these animals are individuals, they are really fascinating that way, you almost have to have a black heart to work with them sometimes.”

shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com Rabbit production economics Rabbit meat sells for about $1.40 per pound and rabbits usually go to market when they reach between five and six pounds, producers say.

Ontario Rabbit, which represents producers in that province, puts the cost of raising and keeping a production doe at around $165 per year, with meat sales from one doe ranging from about $300 to $350 per annum.

A safe product for grazing alfalfa Returns to the market after licensing issues are resolved Roy Lewis, DVM Beef 911

A

n effective prevention for frothy bloat is back on the market. Alfasure was pulled over a licensing issue (whether to be classed as a feed additive or a drug), but requirements were met and it has been relicensed as of June 2012.

In the past, producers have understandably been reluctant to plant and graze alfalfa because of the losses encountered with frothy bloat. Mortality on grazing alfalfa can get as high as 10 per cent and this can be reduced to almost zero with this product. Trials done in Alberta have confirmed this where controls had an almost 40 per cent incidence of bloat and medicated cattle with this product were at zero.

This product is administered through the drinking water so we can be confident all classes of cattle will consume it, including young calves on a daily basis. Producers must ensure no other water source is available, including streams or sloughs or dugouts. This may require some fencing to eliminate these water sources, but this adds the environmental

bonus of preserving the riparian areas.

Alfasure acts as an antifoaming agent and when administered at a dosage of six to 20 ml (depending on weight and the risk of bloat) again is almost 100 per cent effective.

Alfasure can even be used as a bloat treatment by giving 30 ml in 200 ml water so it can be used as a substitute to any bloat medications currently on the market.

To be cautious it is best to start the cattle on it for 48 hours before introducing to a risky situation. Continue medicating as long as the risk of bloat is present. The medication has a dye in it so producers can tell if adequate mixing has occurred in the tank or watering bowl.

Once mixed in water it always stays in suspension.

Mixing techniques

Several methods of mixing have been tried. Large watering tanks can be mixed as they are filled. There are good charts out there to predict water consumption so amounts can be easily calculated. One can use a good rule of thumb of water consumption being roughly 10 per cent of body weight daily.

Therefore a 1,000-lb. animal will consume about 100 lbs. or 10 gallons (water weighs

close to 10 lbs. a gallon). Keep in mind summer will see consumption slightly higher and conversely winter slightly lower than this but in our country Alfasure will primarily be used on grazing animals.

Other water ing systems, which are easiest to adapt, are large tanker trucks producers fill and move to different locations.

The whole tank can be mixed and then gravity fed into the watering tanks or bowls. Many producers use solar-powered pumps, wind pumps or nose pumps to water cattle from dugouts and other water bodies. Several models are available which accurately dispense the Alfasure directly into the waterline. Most of these are based on a venturi effect whereby for every gallon or litre that flows, so much product is dispensed.

If an economical, simple system could be developed this would marry up well with the current pumps now on the market.

Based on reliability and the extra gains realized with grazing alfalfa, Alfasure should gain wide acceptance. Veterinarians will have to fine tune water consumption based on ambient temperature, taking into account the feed source.

For example, after a good rain

on lush alfalfa, bloat risk is highest and yet water consumption may be low since lots of moisture is being derived from the feed source so dosage will need to be increased slightly.

Over the years several avenues have focused on reducing bloat. Some have concentrated on varieties with a lower bloat incidence, but with that came lower production. Other species of legumes such as sanfoin are very low risk for bloat but again production or hardiness is limited.

Ionophores such as rumensin will help to reduce bloat, which is why a bolus containing rumensin was developed.

It dispenses a set amount of rumensin daily over a 90-day feeding period. It has been found to be about 80 per cent effective in preventing bloat.

The advantage is that if other sources of water are available to cattle it may have been the right choice to use. The disadvantage is the labour necessary to give them plus you’re committed to the whole treatment period.

Effectiveness is 80 per cent so some deaths still occur. With Alfasure essentially eliminating bloat it’s like an almost for-sure insurance policy.

I’m convinced it may revolutionize the way cattle are pastured in Western Canada. By

Calculating the dose

By using highyielding varieties of alfalfa and rotational grazing we can substantially increase stocking densities of our pastures plus realizing tremendous weight gains.

using high-yielding varieties of alfalfa and rotational grazing we can substantially increase stocking densities of our pastures plus realizing tremendous weight gains. We will better be able to graze second or third cuts of alfalfa, which are not worthy of harvesting. If you want to pasture alfalfa this summer (summer of 2012) definitely give this product a look. Try some for the treatment of bloat before deciding for yourself. As I said, it was on the market four to five years ago and has been caught in licensing issues since.

Sadly, animals have probably needlessly died of bloat because it was not available or cattle were held off grazing lush pastures where gains could be phenomenal.

Mystery ahoof as U.S. cattle dying after eating grass

A cool retreat

A rare combination of conditions is being blamed

By Carey Gillam dallas, texas / reuters

A

mystery is ahoof in Texas farm country where cattle have dropped dead while grazing, puzzling scientists who say it appears an unusual combination of circumstances have turned pastures toxic.

Texas animal scientists said a type of grass known as “Tifton 85” bermuda grass is to blame for the poisoning of 15 head of cattle on an 80-acre ranch east of Austin. The animals went into convulsions and were dead within hours of being released into the pasture to graze. Only three cattle in that small herd survived.

“It’s a bermuda grass that nobody ever thought of as potentially having this problem,” said Gary Warner, a cattle veterinarian in Elgin, Texas, who autopsied the animals.

“We don’t know probably all we need to know currently. We do know the cattle died from prussic acid poisoning and we know the grass tested positive for prussic acid,” said Warner.

“It is the same as cyanide poisoning, the same as they used in the gas chambers in Germany.”

Warner said drought conditions likely helped predispose the field to this event. The grass in question was heavily fertilized with nitrogen but was not balanced with other needed compounds, which could have contributed to the development of the toxic grass, he said.

Because the Tifton 85 is planted broadly across Texas, agricultural officials around the state are scrambling to investigate the causes and what can be done to avoid more deaths.

Other fields have reportedly tested positive for the poison, but no other cattle have died.

Larry Redmon, a state forage specialist with Texas A&M University, said in a blog posting that the situation was considered unprecedented.

The hybrid Tifton 85 bermuda grass was introduced by government plant breeders in 1992 and no problems like this have been reported before, scientists said. In a separate incident in western Kansas, several calves on a droughtstricken ranch also succumbed suddenly to what investigators have determined to be liver toxicity.

Gregg Hanzlicek, director of Investigation Unit with the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Kansas State University, said June 26 that investigators were blaming a Senecio species of weed that causes acute to chronic liver toxicity. Cattle normally will avoid dangerous weeds, but drought had destroyed much of the normal grass in the area, said Hanzlicek.

Dairy and poultry farmers slam critical report by prominent Liberal But Liberal leadership prospect Martha Hall Findlay says poultry and dairy farmers have limited political clout and can safely be ignored

By Alex Binkley

“There are now few, if any, ridings where dairy votes could plausibly swing elections — particularly compared to the votes of all those in those same ridings who would benefit from dismantling supply management.”

s soon as the announcement appeared that former Liberal MP Martha Hall Findlay would release a report critical of supply management, well-worn wheels were set in motion.

The marketing boards prepared their defences while newspaper columnists and open-market supporters readied their supportive arguments.

The news conference in the Chateau Laurier, a floor up from where Dairy Farmers of Canada holds its annual policy conference, could have almost been written up in advance.

Hall Findlay labelled supply management in dairy “a Byzantine system” in which “everyone suffers.”

“Canadians are forced to pay almost three times as much for four litres of whole milk as Americans,” she charged.

Moreover, supply management is hampering efforts to strike trade deals and hurting livestock and crop producers who “are being denied lucrative access” to foreign markets, added Hall Findlay, who may run for the Liberal leadership.

Dairy Farmers of Canada predictably slammed her report.

“It’s extremely unfortunate that Ms. Hall Findlay would make such potentially damaging statements without first making sure she had her facts straight,” said DFC president Wally Smith, noting that just days earlier Canada joined the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade talks.

“It’s also impor tant to remember that consumers in

other places where the dairy industry is subsidized, like the United States and the European Union, pay twice for their dairy products — once at the store and again through their taxes.”

Hall Findlay is just the latest person to perpetuate myths about supply management, said Chicken Farmers of Canada chairman Dave Janzen.

For example, Canada is the 16th largest importer of chicken in the world and imports more chicken than seven of the nine TPP members combined, he said.

“Our market is much more open than many countries in the world including some TPP members such as New Zealand, which blocks all chicken imports,” said Janzen.

And New Zealand dairy farmers haven’t exactly left themselves open to unfettered

free-market forces — Fonterra, the farmer-owned co-operative, processes 95 per cent of the milk in the country, DFC noted.

Janzen said Hall Findlay, despite her leadership ambitions, is taking a position contrary to her party.

“All political parties in our country have made it clear that their support of supply management is unwavering,” he noted.

But Hall Findlay said Canadian politicians should stop and think about how much political power that dairy and poultry farmers actually have.

“There are now few, if any, ridings where dairy votes could plausibly swing elections — particularly compared to the votes of all those in those same ridings who would benefit from dismantling supply management,” she said.

Quebec beef processor bankruptcy claims mount

By Jim Romahn Co-operator contributor

A Manitoba company is among several creditors seeking payment from the Ontario Beef Financial Protection Program in relation to the bankruptcy of Levinoff-Colbex of Longueuil, Que. on May 31.

So far 11 claims totalling $950,000 have been filed, including one from P. Quintaine and Son Ltd., of Brandon for $137,150.

Quebec farmers pressured Levinoff to sell them to a plant after an export ban on Canadian cattle following the discovery in May, 2003, that an Alberta cow died of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

The farmers there, in Ontario and Western Canada, wanted to own packing plants to have a place to market their cull cows.

None of the ventures has been able to survive against resumed competition from packers in the United States.

Levinoff-Colbex owes far more than its assets, starting with $7.2 million to Bank Nationale de Canada and followed in order by the Federation des Producteurs de Bovine du Quebec at $20.8 million, employees at $600,000 and others at $5.3 million.

Among those “others” are several livestock auction markets in Ontario that are licensed under the beef financial protection program. The receiver is R.S.M. Richter Ltd.

Antibiotic-free choices lacking in U.S. grocers new york / reuters Four U.S. store brands — Food Lion, Sam’s Club, Food-4-Less and Save-ALot — only sell chicken, beef, turkey and pork products raised with antibiotics, according to a Consumer Reports study released June 20.

Stores with high amounts of antibiotic-free meat include Trader Joe’s, Publix, Giant, Shaw’s and Stop & Shop, it said.

Whole Foods only sells food raised without antibiotics, it said.

Consumer Reports said it went to 136 stores of almost three dozen supermarket chains for its study.

Antibiotics in meat can lead to health hazards, including antibiotic-resistant illnesses and reduced ability for immune systems to fight off disease, it said.

Also, 86 per cent of consumers thought customers should be able to buy antibiotic-free meat at their local supermarkets, a Consumer Reports survey of 1,000 people found.

A July heat wave is possible Issued: Monday, July 2, 2012 · Covering: July 4 – July 11, 2012 Daniel Bezte Co-operator contributor

S

ummer weather definitely arrived last week with plenty of heat, humidity and even a few thunderstorms.

It looks like this pattern will continue for much of this forecast period. Fortunately, it looks like we may miss the extreme heat the U.S. is experiencing during this forecast period, but it still looks like it will be fairly warm.

We d n e s d a y l o o k s t o b e the hottest day of this forecast period as an area of low pressure pushes through the northern Prairies. We could see a few thunderstorms late Wednesday as a weak c o ld f ro n t s l i d e s through.

On Thursday and Friday we will see slightly cooler conditions, with high temperatures expected to be in the mid-20s.

Along with the cooler temperatures, humidity values should be a little lower.

High pressure looks to dominate the weather over the weekend and with the strong July sunshine, we’ll see high

t e m p e r a t u re s c l i m b b a c k towards the low 30s. Along with the increasing heat we will also see an increase in humidity. This will lead to some scattered thunderstorms late on Sunday.

High pressure looks as if it will also be in control for at least the first half of next week.

This means that the warm/hot temperatures will continue, with highs once again expected to be in the low 30s and overnight lows in the upper teens to around 20 C. The area of high pressure bringing all the sunshine and heat will slowly move off to the East by midweek. This will place us in a southerly flow that will bring in more moisture by around Wednesday. This will help set the stage for slightly more active weather for the second half of next week.

Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 22 to 31 C; lows, 10 to 18 C. Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W. He operates a computerized weather station near Birds Hill Park.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies during June. A fairly large portion of the Prairies saw significant amounts of rain during the month. The only regions not receiving significant amounts of rain were the south-central parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, along with northern Alberta.

Should we expect a record-setting July?

June would have posted about average temperatures, if it had ended a week early

By Daniel Bezte co-operator contributor

A

nother month has come and gone. Those of you who felt June 2012 was actually a little warmer than average, were pretty much right — at least for most areas.

The results of my June number crunching are below.

June started off warm across most of southern and central Manitoba, with temperatures climbing near and into the low 30s during the first week. Temperatures then began to cool down as a very active weather pattern developed that brought plenty of clouds along with rain nearly every day over the next two weeks. The coolest day was June 12, when temperatures bottomed out just a degree or two above zero at most places.

While this two-week period seemed to be really cool and wet, when you look at it closely you’d see that on most days the high temperatures still made it into the low to mid-20s and the cloud cover helped keep temperatures from getting too cool at night. If the month of June ended a week early, then it would have come in right around average, but during the last week of the month the heat was turned on once again, and we saw high temperatures climb

back up into the upper 20s to low 30s, with overnight lows in the mid-teens. When this last week was added in, June 2012 actually came in above average for temperatures, with the Winnipeg region recording a mean monthly temperature of 18 C, which is a full degree above the long-term average. It was a little cooler over western regions, with Brandon recording a mean monthly temperature of around 17 C, or about 0.5 C above average.

Precipitation during June came in near to a little below average over southern regions and above average in the northern regions. Winnipeg reported a total of 62 millimetres of rain, which was nearly 30 mm below average. Brandon reported 59 mm of rain in June, about 15 mm below average.

Thunderstorms are the main rain producers for our region in summer, and a number of locations saw some significant amounts of rainfall from thunderstorms in June. In the table you’ll see a list of places that recorded more than 100 mm of rain.

Who called it?

Overall, most of agricultural Manitoba saw near- to slightly above-average temperatures during June, with either

below-average, near-average, or above-average amounts of rain! Looking back at the predictions made at the beginning of June it looks to be a toss-up between Environment Canada, the Canadian Farmers’ Almanac and us here at the Co-operator. Environment Canada predicted a warmer- and drier-than-average month. The Co-operator predicted a near- to slightly above-average month for temperatures and a near- to slightly below-average month for precipitation. The Canadian Farmers’ Almanac called for above-average temperatures along with above-average precipitation. It also called for a hot end to the month. So, I will leave it up to you to decide who called it the best.

On to the July forecast: according to Environment Canada, the warm/hot and dry weather will continue into July.

It shows all of Western Canada should expect above-average

temperatures along with belowaverage amounts of rain during July. The Old Farmer’s Almanac also calls for temperatures to be slightly above average during July. Along with the warm temperatures it calls for nearaverage amounts of rain — that doesn’t sound too bad! The Canadian Farmers’ Almanac, if I can decipher it correctly, appears to call for above-average temperatures (they mention hot periods a couple of times). It also looks like it calls for aboveaverage amounts of rain as it mentions stormy weather several times.

Finally, here at the Co-operator, I am calling for temperatures to be slightly above average with a small chance of seeing well-above-average temperatures. Much of the U.S. has been cooking under an extreme heat wave over the last couple of weeks and there is a chance that during July, this heat wave could redevelop and

push farther north. If this were to happen we could see a few temperature records fall, but currently no weather models show this.

As for precipitation, it is always a tough call. My gut tells me precipitation amounts will be much like June. Most regions will see near- to slightly below-average amounts, but some places will get hit by strong thunderstorms and they will record well-above-average amounts.

Overall, I think I’m rooting for the Old Farmer’s Almanac to be right!
