Liquid nitrogen splash puts KAP president in hospital Doug Chorney was burning up with a runaway fever that doctors initially didn’t know how to treat By Allan Dawson co-operator staff

eystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney got a crash course in farm safety this spring after a seemingly benign splash of liquid nitrogen landed him in hospital with severe dehydration. The Selkirk-area farmer was decoupling a pressurized hose May 15 when he was sprayed with liquid nitrogen. Sunglasses protected his eyes and he washed it off his hands and face, but he didn’t bother to change his clothes or shower. Chorney was well aware of the dangers of anhydrous ammonia, which burns skin on contact. But while liquid nitrogen doesn’t irritate the skin, it draws moisture from the body, which can result in serious illness. By noon the next day Chorney said he was almost delirious and “sweating buckets.” After changing a flat fire on his air seeder he returned to his tractor cab and cranked up the air conditioning. Chorney said he quit seeding at 7 p.m. but had no appetite, and had to be helped to bed by his wife Michelle, who is a nurse. “Then she took my temperature and

said ‘holy... this is not good, we better take you to the hospital,’” he said. When he arrived at Selkirk General, Chorney had a fever of 39.3 C, a heart rate of 135 beats per second, very low blood pressure and severe diarrhea. Repeated blood tests, a urine test and X-ray revealed no signs of infection. “These two doctors were just dumbfounded as to why I had this runaway fever and no way to treat it,” Chorney said. “They were running IVs in me wide open as fast as it would flow for two full litres and then they slowed it down.” Chorney was also prescribed powerful antibiotics. Instead of worrying about delayed seeding, he worried he might never seed again. Chorney left the hospital the morning of May 17, but was in bed at home until Saturday night, having still eaten almost no solid food. But by May 19, he was feeling better and returned to seeding. By May 20 he felt normal again. After leaving the hospital, Chorney said his fertilizer suppliers told him his sudden illness was caused by exposure to liquid nitrogen, which like other forms of See CHORNEY on page 6 »

Ottawa again turns to the WTO in battle over U.S. labelling law Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says he’s considering ‘all options’ By Alex Binkley co-operator contributor / ottawa

anada will go back to the World Trade Organization — rather than impose sanctions — to try and get Washington to change or scrap its country-of-origin labelling law rules that discriminate against Canadian beef and pork. “There is a W TO process we intend to follow that takes time,” said Agriculture M i n i s t e r G e r r y R i t z . “ We will comply with the proc-

ess regardless of how long it takes.” Ritz has previously suggested Ottawa was ready to slap retaliatory tariffs on American products coming into Canada, and he didn’t rule out doing that in future. “We’re not backing down, this is not a game of chicken,” Ritz said from Kazakhstan, where he is on a trade mission. “We will do everything in our power to make the U.S. understand that its policy violates trade rules. Canada will consider all options at its disposal, includ-

ing, if necessary, the use of retaliatory measures.” The WTO ruled last year that the country-of-origin labelling (or COOL) law is discriminatory and ordered the U.S. to change it, but those changes have actually made the rules more onerous, say industry officials. The USDA will now require meat labels’ origin designations to include even more specific information about each stage of the production process and won’t allow commingling of muscle cuts.

“U S D A’s s t a t e m e n t t h a t their amendment complies with the WTO is absurd,” said Martin Unrau, president of t h e Ca n a d i a n Ca t t l e m e n’s Association. “It will require additional segregation by eliminating the ability to commingle cattle of different origins.” While supporting the government’s move to go back to the WTO, Unrau said Ottawa should state what retaliatory measures See LABELLING on page 6 »

More than 1,900 species of insects are eaten around the world, mainly in Africa and Asia, but people in the West generally turn their noses up at the likes of grasshoppers, termites and other crunchy fare. The authors of the study by the Forestry Department, part of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), said many insects contained the same amount of protein and minerals as meat and more healthy fats doctors recommend in balanced diets. “In the West we have a cultural bias, and think that because insects come from developing countries, they cannot be good,” said scientist Arnold van Huis from Wageningen University in the Netherlands, one of the authors of the report.

Danish restaurant Noma, for example, crowned the world’s best for three years running in one poll, is renowned for ingredients including ants and fermented grasshoppers. As well as helping in the costly battle against obesity, which the World Health Organization estimates has nearly doubled since 1980 and affects around 500 million people, the report said insect farming was likely to be less land dependent than traditional live-

stock and produce fewer greenhouse gases. It would also provide business and export opportunities for poor people in developing countries, especially women, who are often responsible for collecting insects in rural communities. Van Huis said barriers to enjoying dishes such as bee larvae yogurt were psychological — in a blind test carried out by his team, nine out of 10 people preferred meatballs made from roughly half meat and half mealworms to those made from meat.

Study says municipalities need 3,000 people Rural Development Institute has released two reports to aid merger talks By Lorraine Stevenson CO-OPERATOR STAFF

unicipalities need at least 3,000 residents and a hefty tax base in order to prosper, according to a new study by Brandon University’s Rural Development Institute. The study used census data from Manitoba to look at factors such as population gain, an expanding tax base, favourable demographics (such as a rising percentage of females aged 20 to 39), and municipal debt levels. The strongest communities have anywhere from 3,200 to 3,500 residents, plus taxable assessment levels of $130 million or more, said Bill Ashton, the institute’s director and principal researcher. “There are minimum thresholds that we need to have for a rural municipality,” he said. “Three thousand is what we’re seeing as the threshold for going forward and for ensuring that rural municipalities have enough people.” The report identifies three municipalities (Lac du Bonnet, Rhineland, and Killarney-Turtle Mountain) and two towns (Neepawa and Swan River) that make the standard set out by the study. But it’s a tall order for most others. Only 51 of Manitoba’s 197 municipalities have 3,000 or more residents and just 47 meet

the recommended assessment threshold. Alongside economic indicators, a second report from the institute lays out a series of “functional economic areas” that frame a new way of thinking about geographic regions in rural Manitoba. Eighteen distinct rural regions were identified using census data that mapped people’s commuting patterns, or how far afield people travel from homes to workplaces. This second report aims to provide a new sense of where geographic boundaries are beyond existing municipal boundaries, Ashton said. The two reports could help local government leaders in their amalgamation deliberations and give them new ways to think about where future boundaries could be, he added. “We don’t want to change boundaries every 10 or 20 years, so can we get it right now? That’s where the geography linked with the population thresholds and assessment kind of come together. “Our research indicates that strong rural municipalities are not islands but rather engines of growth and economic development.” Both reports were funded by the provincial government and can be found at: http://www. brandonu.ca/rdi/publications/ rural-adaptation-and-change/. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Bus ad compares cows and pigs to household pets

Ads like this one form the basis of a new campaign by Mercy For Animals. By Shannon VanRaes CO-OPERATOR STAFF

n animal rights group that made headlines last year with an undercover video of a Manitoba hog barn is now urging Canadians to think of farm animals as pets and stop eating meat. “Pigs, cows, and chickens are remarkable beings just like the animals we shower with affection and consider family,” said Stephane Perrais, director of operations for Mercy For Animals Canada. “The ugly truth is that there is horrible suffering behind every burger, omelette, and hotdog.” An bus ad campaign running in Winnipeg and other major Canadian cities pictures dogs next to calves or pigs with the question, “Why love one but eat the other?” His group makes no secret that

it favours what it calls a “compassionate diet,” and wants all Canadians to become vegetarians or vegans, Perrais said. And they’re ready for that message, he added. “Most Canadians today live in urban centres, and have been doing so for a long time now, so they don’t have the opportunity to connect with these animals first hand,” said Perrais. “I think most of these Canadians still live with the conception that these animals are raised on open pastures and are grazing outside, and so forth. So what we’re trying to do basically is show them the reality of today’s farming systems.” The organization first garnered publicity in Manitoba last year, after undercover footage shot in an Interlake weanling facility brought national attention to pork production practices. The grainy footage showed sows in gestation stalls, castra-

tion, tail docking and piglets being slammed into cement floors. But the group is not looking to reform livestock production practices and also opposes non-intensive or small-scale livestock production, Perrais said. The MFA ads can be seen on Winnipeg transit buses for the next three weeks. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com CORRECTION Our story on the McConnell 4-H Beef Club in the May 23 issue erroneously stated that the Roland 4-H club is no longer active. 4-H is alive and well in Roland, which is hosting 100th anniversary celebrations May 31.

OPINION/EDITORIAL

4-H something to celebrate

he March 14 ‘status’ on my 20-yearold daughter’s Facebook page said it all: “Got a shout out from a prof for being a very “clear and confident speaker and presenter.” Second one this year. All those years of hating 4-H speaking competitions are finally paying off!” Reading that took me back a decade to the time I was confronted with a defiLaura Rance ant 10-year-old who saw no value at all in Editor standing up in front of a bunch of people and opening your mouth — hoping words would come out. Public speaking had nothing to do with riding horses, which is why we got involved with 4-H in the first place, or rather, why she got involved in 4-H. What would she speak about? My suggestions met with disdain. She couldn’t do it. She wouldn’t do it. “I am NOT doing a speech!” she said. “Fine!” I replied, tired of trying to explain why she’d be grateful for the experience one day, tired of reminding her I felt exactly the same way about 4-H speeches when I was her age — and just plain tired. “It’s your choice. But no speech, no 4-H; no 4-H, no horse.” It was one of those parenting moments when you wish you could take back the words as soon as they left your mouth. They hung there like laundry on a hot, humid day and for a moment, it looked like the feisty little carrot top would call my bluff. “Fine!” she said. She wrote a speech. For the life of me, I don’t remember what that first speech was about (another parental lapse). But neither does she. I do remember that after that speech, she wrote another, and another. At first, it was simply about getting the job done. But then, despite what she said, you could see her putting out more effort — wanting to do it well. Over the next six years, she grew to enjoy the challenge of competition, trying to make it to the next level in speeches and her pursuit of riding. She didn’t have a clue how much she was learning in the process. Anyone who has experienced 4-H as a member, parent, leader — or, as is often the case, all three — can identify with this story. Each year, the young speakers traipse to the front of the room and work their way through what seems like an excruciatingly long few minutes. Their relieved sighs are audible as they plunk back into the safety of a chair amongst their peers. Each year around this time, those darned project books have to be completed, which of course meant, the “project” is nearing its completion too. Whether it is beef, sewing, equine, cooking, sheep, photography or any one of the dozens of projects youth pursue under the guidance of leaders from their community, they are oblivious to the life lessons those efforts deliver. Projects are about setting goals. Deadlines are about the discipline to work towards those goals. Achievement isn’t about perfection. It is about finishing a task on time and to the best of your ability. Being a senior member in 4-H is about being a mentor to the juniors. It happens quite naturally. The juniors look up to the seniors and the seniors tend to rise to the challenge. The “club” gives youth an alternative social sphere to school; it’s a place where they feel accepted when other places they might not. Learning to do by doing, invariably results in mistakes. But mistakes are another opportunity to learn. And you are never done with the learning, because the way to keep life interesting is to continue seeking new challenges. And if you find yourself bucked off, you dust yourself off, climb back on and keep on riding. What better life lesson can there be? Thousands of young adults have discovered having 4-H on their resumé means something to a prospective employer, not because it is some kind of status symbol like an Ivy-league education. It is because it means they are “doers” who aren’t afraid to tackle something new for fear they might fail. It means they might not like talking in front of the group, but they can get the job done. It is because they have been exposed to ethics beyond the “I’m only in it for me” psyche through the head-heart-healthhands 4-H pledge. The fact that these ideals have been part of a youth development program in rural Canada for a century is truly something to celebrate. But as the 4-H community enjoys these celebrations, it’s also important to look to the future. The rural population, the core base of membership, continues to decline. Efforts to reach out to urban youth are underway and need to be aggressively pursued. Many youth today risk becoming disengaged from the real world, finding it easier instead to connect through the virtual reality of social media. The hands-on, face-to-face value 4-H delivers to our youth is more relevant than ever. May it continue to find new ways to be part of their lives. laura@fbcpublishing.com

U.S. ranchers asking: Where’s my cow insurance? By Alan Guebert

t was evident from the hello that the South Dakota rancher had practised his pitch before he dialed my office. “I’m (so and so),” he said in a clipped, clear voice, “an independent cow-calf producer west of the (Missouri) river with 500 cows. I’m calling with one question: Where do I go to sign up for revenue-based cow-calf insurance?” I’m sorry, did you say “revenue-based cowcalf insurance?” “I did,” replied the cowboy. “You know, like revenue-based federal crop insurance. Farmers get that now and they’ll get even more when Congress passes the Farm Bill, right?” Probably, yes, but I’m sure you know there’s no such thing as revenue-based, federally subsidized cow-calf insurance. A long, tired sigh came across 750 miles of cellular ether. “Well, yeah,” he said finally, “but somebody needs to ask why taxpayers are guaranteeing my neighbours $300- and $400-an-acre profit through federal crop insurance to farm ranchland when I can’t buy any insurance — let alone subsidized insurance — to lock-in one-tenth of that by doing the land right and ranching it.” It was my turn to sigh. No argument; you’re right. “Being right won’t mean much when my neighbours rent or buy the land I rent to plant more corn and beans while you, me and taxpayers buy most of the insurance to guarantee them a profit and me a smaller ranch.” That was late March and this is late May and being right still won’t matter because each version of the 2013 Farm Bill that cleared its respective congressional ag committee earlier this month includes expanded versions of today’s generous federal crop insurance programs.

OUR HISTORY:

In fact, some of the liveliest debates on the bills centred on how to grow the federal crop insurance program while keeping ag outsiders — mostly environmental, nutrition and conservation groups — from either placing restrictions on the expanding program or poaching some of its funds. Each bill is far from any finish line, though. The Senate bill (soon to be voted on by the full Senate), for example, includes compromise wording that links conservation compliance with the new, bigger insurance program. The House Farm Bill does not. Some Farm Bill watchers now suspect the conservation part of the deal won’t survive the Senate-House conference to marry the two bills. They see the House version — no conservation compliance, no limits — gaining traction. If so, my ranching pal’s future will sport more tractors and combines than cows and calves. Landlords and farmers, unleashed from any conservation requirement and able to buy cheap crop insurance that virtually assures a profit, will plow under more grass to plant more corn and beans. But even if the Senate’s conservation linkage remains in the final bill, the rancher is headed for an almost equally woeful future because farm program benefits, be they direct payments or insurance subsidies, end up being capitalized in land. That’s the biggest reason his cows and calves can’t compete with corn and beans now; the land has been made too valuable by the federal crop insurance guarantees paid for, in part, by American taxpayers. In fact, that puts taxpayers in the business of pretty much putting this rancher out of business. The Farm and Food File is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America.

May 1979

his advertisement in our May 17, 1979 issue gave farmers some information on a new chemical that they “may already be familiar with.” Farmers are certainly familiar with it 34 years later. Elsewhere we reported that except in areas affected by the severe flood that year, seeding was expected to be in high gear in two weeks. The Canadian Wheat Board had proposed a two-centper-bushel incentive to grain companies to improve protein segregation at country elevators. The Manitoba government had issued a new series of savings bonds at 9-1/2 per cent for 10 years. Another story and photo market the shipment of the last train from Miniota, ending 80 years of rail service to the community. Among the items for sale in our classified section were a 1978 JD 8630 tractor for $55,000 (will take grain in trade) and a new 1979 MF 760 combine for $69,800.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

A closer look at Canadian Grain Commission user fees There is an inherent conflict of interest when a regulatory agency operates on a complete cost recovery basis By Wade Sobkowich and Kevin Hursh

Letters

he Canada Grain Act was enacted in 1912. The last set of significant amendments was made in the early 1970s. Since then, there have been vast changes in farm operations, grain handling, marketing, exporting and the global marketplace. The time is exactly right to modernize the Canada Grain Act. The federal government passed Bill C-45, which contained the following three main amendments: • Allows the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) flexibility in ways to have elevators post security; • Removes mandatory nature of having the CGC do inward weighing and inspection; • Moves the CGC to monitoring on outward weighing. T h e s e a re g e n e ra l l y p o s i t i ve changes that will result in cost savings, but to whom? Government funding to the CGC is decreasing from approximately $37 million to $5.4 million, or down from 50 per cent to nine per cent. Meanwhile, outward inspection costs are more than tripling from $0.51 per tonne to $1.60. Elevator licensing fees are increasing from approximately $100 per elevator per year to a staggering $3,300 per year. In both cases, the increased cost does not come with any change in the nature of services provided by the CGC. Looking then at outward inspection which will now be the CGC’s most significant revenue stream, the cost of a single Certificate Final for a 50,000-tonne vessel will increase from $25,500 to $80,000. The annual cost to an export terminal handling five million tonnes of grain per year will now be $8 million. To put this into perspective, other operating costs including union labour costs at this same terminal with over 100 employees would be approximately $14 million. As one can see, the outward inspection cost is much too high in proportion to this business’s operating budget in order for this Canadian terminal to stay competitive. Other regulatory agencies such as those that deal with border services, policing, vehicle weight restrictions, etc., are deemed to be for the good of Canada and paid for by the taxpayers of Canada. It is worth noting that in the U.S., one of Canada’s major competitors, the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) receives government funding at a 37 per cent level.

Why, as an industry, have we seemed to accept the notion that the CGC needs to be completely funded through user fees?

Having the CGC provide outward inspection should be optional. It should be available for customers who require it, but other third parties could provide the same service as well. Certain buyers who require an export certificate do not necessarily require that it be provided by the CGC, and other customers accept third-party inspection regardless of the CGC certificate, resulting in a duplication of costs. Qualified third parties can provide an export certificate at considerably less expense, approximately $0.40 per tonne, which is similar to what

Ancient greens taste just as good today I would like to express my appreciation for the article by Shannon VanRaes in the May 9 issue “Manitoba’s ag history started long before the sodbusters arrived.” It gives a partial look into past history, and how people lived. Being a bit of a prehistoric manifestation myself, and being convinced that past human experience is not fatally hindered by the

U.S. exporters pay for a Certificate Final. Assuming more than 30 million tonnes of grains and oilseeds are exported from Canada, requiring the industry to use the CGC for these certificates will add more than $36 million of cost to the grain-handling system in order to maintain a document that is sometimes of little or no value to the buyer. The root of the issue is that the CGC performs some functions for the good of Canada, and is being required to include the costs for these other functions in its cost calculations for user fees. There is an inherent conflict of interest when a regulatory agency operates on a complete cost recovery basis. Rather than being primarily motivated to undertake activities that are in the best interest of the Canadian grain industry, the primary interest becomes one of seeking to create and apply regulations, policies and procedures in a way that generates the most revenue for the commission itself. As a regulated service provider, the CGC should not be burdened with

trying to find ways to extract enough revenue to cover its operating costs. The CGC should be focusing on providing the right services most appropriate in a rapidly changing industry, which may or may not be the optimal path for procurement of funds. The bottom line is, as of August 1, 2013 the cost of the CGC is increasing from about $1.25 to $1.80 per tonne, again assuming 30 million tonnes of exported product. At one-tonne-peracre yield, this is an added cost of $2,750 over a 5,000-acre farm. Why, as an industry, have we seemed to accept the notion that the CGC needs to be completely funded through user fees? Some CGC functions will always be essential, but the costs associated with “Good of Canada” functions should be removed from the calculations of the remaining services. This will ensure the CGC provides a competitive quality of service at a competitive price.

inability to “tweet” and to “friend” via my “smartphone,” and that life often had a richness to it that is impossible to replicate sitting in an air conditioned cab, and having my human tendency to drive crooked corrected by GPS, makes me greatly appreciate such articles. I recall one instance, in 2011, when my land was too wet to seed, walking around one quarter assessing the situation. Among other things, an abundance of lamb’s quarters was growing on the field. Having always been of the opinion

from my first experience of it as a child, that boiled lamb’s quarter was far superior to spinach and being somewhat hungry, I began to pick and eat leaves from the abundant growth on the field. I was gratified to find that in my opinion, it tasted as good raw as cooked, an example, I suppose, that humans, if I qualify for that designation, are not all that different in the 21st century than they were in the 10th, or whenever.

Mexico blasts U.S. for not respecting WTO ruling on meat labelling Minister says refusal is hurting producers MEXICO / REUTERS The U.S. refusal to respect a World Trade Organization ruling on meat labelling is hurting Mexican livestock producers, says the country’s agriculture minister. “We can’t understand why once the very WTO... issues a ruling, the government of the United States does not respect it,” said Enrique Martinez. “We have talked with beef producers in the United States and Canada, and totally agree this is an arbitrary decision and means discrimination against Mexican beef, which we will never agree with and as a government will defend against.” The country-of-origin labelling law has seen cattle and hog shipments slump by as much as half since it was enacted four years ago. Ottawa has threatened a possible retaliatory strike against U.S. imports, and is hoping Mexico will join it.

“This is simply unacceptable and it must stop now,” said Trevor Atchison, president of Manitoba Beef Producers. “Our governments and our industry have invested substantial resources in trying to resolve this matter without retaliation, to no avail. But Canada must protect itself if the U.S. refuses to comply with international trade law.” That view was echoed by Jean-Guy Vincent, chairman of the Canadian Pork Council. “The U.S. is gaming the system at our expense,” said Vincent. “Their behaviour and the bad faith reflected by the new COOL rule is appalling.” He, too, called for Ottawa to spell out what retaliation it is prepared to take. Ritz has said Canada is looking at imposing retaliatory tariffs on products other than meat shipments because most U.S. farmers and processors also oppose COOL.

Ottawa begins to roll out new food safety measures and rules

DODGING THE RAIN

New rules call for more timely and detailed reporting of problems and labels to let consumers know when meat has been mechanically tenderized By Alex Binkley co-operator contributor / ottawa

lmost a year after announcing its intention to overhaul national food safety rules, the federal government has unveiled the first of many measures it plans to implement through 2014. Among the new measures going into effect on July 2 is mandatory labelling of steaks and roasts that have been mechanically tenderized — a process that increases the risk of E. coli contamination. But consultations, which began after last fall’s pass a g e o f t h e Sa f e Food for Canadians Act, are still ongoing. On June 4, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency will hold a food safety regulatory forum for consumer groups a n d t h e f o o d i n d u s t r y. A number of members of the Canadian Supply Chain Food Safety Coalition has signed up, and the CFIA may organize webinars to brief organizations that can’t attend the June gathering. Under the new E. coli prevention rules, meat plants must develop plans for reviewing and reporting any instances of the bacteria found in a facility or the p r o d u c t s p r o d u c e d t h e re, and must “immediately t a k e a c t i o n” i f a n y t re n d or unusual activity occurs. Production of ground beef or beef patties will require additional testing, and the CFIA will also step up its testing. The agency will also increase training for its inspectors and give them more authority to halt unsafe operations. As well, if contamination results in foodborne illness, companies have to provide t h e a g e n c y w i t h re l e v a n t information in a timely fashion and in a usable format. One of the problems discovered in the XL Foods’ E. coli outbreak last fall was that CFIA officials were presented w i t h b ox e s o f i n s p e c t i o n reports which didn’t highlight any problems. The measures are a step forward, but there’s another key step that needs to be taken, said Martin Unrau, president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. “Ir ra d i a t i o n , w h e n u s e d with food safety interventions already in use, could essentially eliminate E. coli-related illness associated with ground beef,” he said.

Spring road restrictions end early Spring road restrictions introduced in April to protect Manitoba’s paved road system ended May 24, the province announced last week. Normally, spring weight restrictions are introduced in mid-March, but this year was one of the latest recorded start dates. Restrictions began April 10 in Zone 1, in the southern part of the province, and April 13 in Zone 2, the northern region. Normally roads are restricted for a 56-day period or about eight weeks. With the removal on May 23, the restriction was about six weeks this year. Zone 1 was restricted a total of 44 days, while Zone 2 was restricted for a total of 41 days.

The painful BSE crisis has led to a major overhaul of Canada’s food safety system The food safety system has changed dramatically since the so-called mad cow crisis grabbed headlines and closed the border a decade ago By Alex Binkley co-operator contributor / ottawa

en years have passed since Canadians learned that bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), better known as mad cow disease, had been discovered in an Alberta dairy cow. It was a bombshell that closed the border to beef exports, and caused painful financial losses to cattle producers even though Canadians kept buying domestic beef. While BSE didn’t cause the damage and dislocation that it did in Great Britain, it was a costly exercise to purge it from the national cow herd and reassure foreign customers that Canadian beef was safe. In the end, only 18 infected cows

were found among hundreds of thousands of cattle tested for BSE. But it ushered in a decade of change to government food safety programs, subsequently tested by avian influenza and swine flu, the deadly listeria outbreak of 2008, and last year’s XL Foods fiasco. Food safety experts agree that the big lesson from all these incidents is the need to focus on risk management by identifying and tackling the biggest threats to safe food. That’s led to the new Safer Food for Canadians Act and recently announced regulatory changes imposing tighter controls and inspections of beef processors to prevent E. coli contamination of meat. But it’s not just Ottawa that has stepped up its game. The

Alberta Prion Research Institute has opened a Biosafety Level 2+ containment lab at the Centre for Prions and Protein Folding Diseases, where the brain-destroying disease is studied along with its human variant, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. As well, provincial and municipal public health officials are now linked into a reporting network for foodborne illness outbreaks. (It was Toronto public health officials who discovered the listeria outbreak that killed more than 20 people.) The campaign to eradicate BSE went pretty well as officials with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, including then chief veterinarian Brian Evans, predicted it would. With downer and dodgy cattle barred from

rendering, tough new feed rules and expanded testing for BSE in place, a trickle of infected cattle was found, with the last one coming in 2009. While it’s possible a few more cases of BSE might still be discovered, there have been no reports of a human case in Canada of CJD from eating BSE-infected domestic beef. The CFIA has concluded BSE likely entered the country through cattle imported prior to 2000. A 1997 ban on using rendered meat and bone in animal feed combined with a 2005 ban on transporting downer cattle and a 2007 prohibition on rendering of nervous system tissue and other cattle parts, is “expected to lead to the eventual eradication of the disease,” the CFIA says.

Ranchers hit by wall of water demand post-flood answers Water Stewardship confirms investigation underway into Gilbert Plains flash flood By Daniel Winters co-operator staff / gilbert plains

itting as it does on a kind of plateau north of the highlands of Riding Mountain National Park, it’s hard to believe that this area could be flooded at all. But a flash flood did sweep through the century-old farmyard of cattle producers Karen and Craig Von Bargen on April 28 — causing six-figure losses and creating divisions in the community. The Von Bargens say lax enforcement of drainage regulations is to blame, with grain farmers uphill from them using heavy equipment to gradually erase the wide, shallow water courses that formerly carried spring meltwaters away at a gentle pace across their fields. Instead, water now races through ditches and quickly becomes the problem of somebody downstream. “We are the only ones who have left a visible, natural run, so all these farmers think that all the water should come through our yard,” said Karen Von Bargen, who runs 200 head of cattle on 12 quarters in the area with her husband. The couple estimates the flood was one-eighth of a mile wide and about three to five feet deep. They live two miles away from the Wilson River and are about 45 feet above it.

Water Stewardship officials aren’t commenting — except to say they are investigating — but that hasn’t stopped accusations from being made. The Von Bargens have photos that show a clear boundary where the flood waters were stopped by a dirt dam from proceeding east overland into a field and instead were channelled north to the Von Bargen’s yard. Red flagging tape and wooden stakes could be seen marking the spot last week. Karen Von Bargen said the municipality has ordered the structure removed. The landowner, Dale Gryba, declined to comment. “I’m personally involved, so I can’t comment — call the RM, call Water Stewardship,” said Gryba. The Von Bargens said their relationship with their neighbour has soured, but added the larger issue is a lack of enforcement of drainage rules. That view is shared by another neighbour, Kate Storey. What happened to the Von Bargens is a microcosm of a problem developing across the province, said Storey, chair of the Manitoba Organic Alliance and a Green Party candidate in the last federal election. “The water comes off that escarpment from the park and there used to be a whole series of sloughs and bits of bush all

Flags placed by Water Stewardship officials mark the spot where natural flows were altered to divert water into a municipal ditch. Karen Von Bargen claims a shallow rock and earthen berm in that spot is partially responsible for flooding her family’s property, visible in the top left corner, during a flash flood on April 28. photos: Daniel Winters

through the area that held the water back,” said Storey. “The problem is that all those sloughs have been drained and all the water is coming down in one big, fast flood.” In past decades, most farms in the area pastured cattle in the patches where overland flows tended to accumulate, and seeded crops on less flood-prone areas, she said. But high grain prices and the availability of heavy equipment for flattening out the landscape changed all that, said Storey, who charged that Water Stewardship has “dropped the ball.” B:10.25” “Farmers want to farm and they T:10.25”their land, but are going to drain

the permit system is supposed to tell them what they can and can’t do,” she said. “If Water Stewardship is allowing the drainage water to create a problem downstream, then obviously they aren’t doing their jobs.” Some of those problems are falling on the local municipality. A backhoe operator who was patching a washed-out culvert last week said as many as 130 culverts have had to be repaired in the RM this spring. A spokesperson for Water Stewardship would not give a timeline for when the results of its investigation would be made public. daniel.winters@fbcpublishing.com

A municipal worker points to where unusually fast water flows washed out a culvert upstream from the Von Bargen farmyard.

he amounts of cattle moved to markets across Manitoba during the week ended May 24 varied by region, with northern markets seeing strong numbers and yards in the south seeing fewer cattle. Farmers in the south were busy with field work and seeding, so fewer individuals were marketing their cattle and numbers were down during the week. In the northern parts of the province, farmers were just starting to seed and still managed to market some cattle during the week, which resulted in stronger numbers at those auction yards, said Buddy Bergner with Ashern Auction Mart. The strong volumes will come to an end soon, though, as producers in the north start working hard to catch up on already-delayed seeding. Once things slow down enough, many auction yards across the province will reduce the number of sales they hold and some will close for the summer months. Some, such as Gladstone Auction Mart and Killarney Auction Mart, have already moved to biweekly sales. Bergner said Ashern will hold two more sales — May 29 and June 12 — and will then shut down until August. The cattle that came on to the market during the week yielded “barely steady” prices, as values continued to be pressured by “very high feed costs,” said Bergner. Slaughter cattle yielded steady-to-strong prices during the week, and volumes continued to be good at most yards across Manitoba. Good demand helped to keep prices on the stronger side, while volumes stayed good because some producers don’t have enough feed supplies to carry them through.

Some producers are also choosing to send their cows and bulls to market as a form of cash flow, said Bergner. “The cow market is about the best for profits, so some producers are keeping heifers and selling the cows.” Most of the demand during the week came from the eastern and western parts of Canada, with a small amount of buying from the U.S. The Canadian dollar fell to fresh multiyear lows during the week, which helped to encourage some buying from the U.S., as it made cattle less expensive for them. Bergner noted local demand was few and far between in Ashern, adding that “hardly anybody is buying grass calves here.” Many pastures in and around the Ashern area, in the northern Interlake region, are still suffering from the flood of 2011. “We can’t find any pasture up here,” he said. “There are so many people whose land is not usable because of past floods.” Bergner noted there aren’t any flooding concerns this year, but pastures are “kind of swamped” from previous floods and it’s going to take awhile to recover. “Producers will be taking their cattle to other pastures, so they won’t be using that land very much,” he said, “except maybe this fall sometime when they bring the cattle home.” Terryn Shiells writes for Commodity News Service Canada, a Winnipeg company specializing in grain and commodity market reporting.

Japan cuts import tariffs on some Australian beef reuters / Japan is set to agree to reduce import tariffs on Australian frozen beef from 38.5 per cent to around 30 per cent as part of a bilateral economic partnership agreement, the Nikkei said. Tariffs on chilled, grassfed beef from Australia will also likely be brought down from 38.5 per cent to roughly 30 per cent. But those on chilled, grain-fed beef will remain unchanged, as this type of Aussie beef competes against some Japanese offerings, the paper said.

Frozen Australian beef is usually used by restaurants for such dishes as hamburgers and is not expected to directly compete with domestic beef, according to the business daily.

U.S. feedlot numbers rise as feed costs subside chicago / reuters / The number of cattle placed in U.S. feedlots last month was up 15 per cent from a year earlier, as reduced feed costs encouraged fattening of cattle for slaughter. April placements were at

1.750 million head, or up from 1.521 million a year earlier, the USDA reported. Chicago Board of Trade corn futures last month averaged $6.70-3/8 per bushel, down from $7.143/4 in March, and well off the record high of $8.43-3/4 set last summer. As well, tight hay stocks — a carry-over from last year’s drought — forced more cattle into feeding pens. But the rise in feedlot numbers isn’t expected to dampen prices. “Overall cattle numbers will remain tight, which does not change the outlook for higher beef prices ahead,” said U.S. Commodities analyst Don Roose.

Traders optimistic for successful seeding on Prairies USDA’s report shows a strong planting push in U.S. corn Dwayne Klassen CNSC

eather issues played a role in determining the price direction of the Canadian and U.S. grain and oilseed markets during the week ended May 24 and it looks like this influence is still in the back of everyone’s mind. Canola values on the ICE Futures Canada trading platform trended higher in the latest reporting period, with tight supply concerns and the absence of farmer deliveries helping to generate some of the strength. The lack of country movement was a direct reflection of farmers in Western Canada concentrating on getting various crops into the ground. A downswing in the value of the Canadian dollar also added to the friendly price tone in the market. The grain and oilseed industry was especially paying attention to planting progress on the Prairies and at one point was a bit fearful of acreage intentions falling short due to the lateness of spring seeding operations. Those concerns have certainly eased as farmers have reportedly been making some excellent progress. There were estimates circulating that over 50 per cent of Western Canada’s acreage base has been seeded. There were some naysayers worried about rain delaying remaining seeding operations, but there were more individuals confident that, given another week of reasonable conditions, Western Canada’s crop will have been put into the ground. In some regions of the Prairies, farmers who have finished seeding are now hoping for precipitation to alleviate dry conditions. Granted, southern Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan remain a bit wetter than necessary and could use some drying out. Western Canada will need to produce a canola crop no smaller than 15 million tonnes this summer in order to meet the expanded domestic processor demand that has come on board, as well as the exports that have been lined up for the fall period. As for the milling wheat, durum and barley contracts on the ICE Futures Canada platform, the fact that there is no open interest in any of the contracts might suggest their time is limited. Officials from ICE Futures Canada have not returned requests for comments on the future of these contracts.

Trade (CBOT) also experienced some price strength with some of the upward action in the nearby months associated with tight old-crop stocks and strong usage from the export and domestic sectors. Some support in the deferred months came from reports that farmers in the U.S. had been aggressively planting corn and it wouldn’t be necessary to switch some of the corn acreage to soybeans. However, the upside in those soybean values was being capped by sentiment that if farmers can catch up to corn plantings in less than one week, getting the soybean crop into the ground will also not be much of a problem. The cheap availability of ample South American soybean supplies on the global market was also tempering any upside price push in values. Corn values at the CBOT were also up on the week, but the upside was tempered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s crop progress report on May 21, which revealed U.S. farmers had made significant progress in planting the crop. Strong export demand combined with fresh speculative demand helped to fuel some of the upside. The advances were also helped along by the weather outlook, with some forecasters already predicting drought in some areas of the U.S. Corn Belt this summer. Wheat futures on the CBOT, MGEX and Kansas City Board of Trade experienced some movement to the upside during the week, with concerns about unfavourable weather for spring seeding and development of the U.S. winter wheat crop linked to the advances. Overall seeding of the U.S. spring wheat crop has been catching up to where it needs to be and few individuals expect the intended area will not be seeded. The day-to-day weather situation keeps changing for the U.S. winter wheat crop. Rains that have hit the region of late have reportedly improved growing conditions. However, on the same token, worries about freezing temperatures also keep popping up.

Monsanto plans Ukraine non-GM corn seed plant Local laws bar farmers from growing GM crops kiev / reuters

onsanto Co., the world’s largest seed company, plans to launch a non-GM (genetically modified) corn seed plant in Ukraine, one of the world’s leading producers of the grain, the company said May 24.

“Monsanto is planning to build a seed plant in Ukraine to produce conventional corn seeds,” Vitaliy Fedchuk, corporate affairs s p e c i a l i s t a t Mo n s a n t o Ukraine, told Reuters in an email. “The seeds will be for the Ukrainian market and for export.”

Ukraine, which harvested about three million tonnes of maize 10 years ago, threshed 20.9 million tonnes of the commodity in 2012 and might increase the output to 21.8 million tonnes this year, analysts say. In i t i a l i n v e s t m e n t i n the project “is intended

to be about $140 million,” Fedchuk said. “ We plan to have the plant operational as of August 2015, provided we finalize the land acquisition by mid-August 2013. We have several preferred locations, one of them is Vinnytsya.” Ukrainian laws bar local

f a r m e r s f r o m g r ow i n g genetically modified crops. Asked whether Monsanto expected changes in regulations, Fedchuk said: “Indeed, in Ukraine only c o n ve n t i o n a l s e e d s a re allowed for production and importation, thus we will be working with conventional seeds only.”

Rapidly growing forages could cause deadly grass tetany Lactating cows and ewes grazing fresh pastures may need magnesium supplements

Tight feed supplies have some herds heading out to soggy pastures Lots of snow and a late spring have left many pastures wet, but those conditions should lead to a good hay crop By Terryn Shiells COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

NDSU release

ufficient rainfall (greater than average in some regions) has many North Dakota pastures set for abundant, rapid forage growth this spring. “With this in mind, producers with cattle on pasture or planning their spring pasture turnout need to be aware of the possibility of grass tetany,” says Carl Dahlen, North Dakota State University Extension Service beef cattle specialist. Grass tetany is caused by a magnesium deficiency. It’s most common when cows and ewes in heavy lactation graze lush spring growth. Rapidly growing forages have low levels of magnesium, and high levels of protein and potassium in the forage further reduce the availability of magnesium. Animals with grass tetany may experience excitable and erratic behaviour, blindness, muscle tremors, a staggered walking pattern and, ultimately, death. The onset of the condition can be very rapid, and the first symptom producers may see is a dead animal. Forages most likely to induce grass tetany are cool-season grasses (crested wheat grass, bromegrass, bluegrass and timothy) and annual cereal grasses (wheat, rye, oats). Tetany also can occur in native range pastures when grass growth is rapid and lush. Producers should consult their veterinarian about a treatment if they observe symptoms, Dahlen says.

TETANY PREVENTION

Here are some techniques to prevent the disease: • Encourage daily intake of magnesium. Magnesium oxide is the most common source of supplemental magnesium. Keep mineral boxes filled and in several locations in the pasture. • Make sure lactating cows receive 0.20 per cent magnesium in the diet on a dry-matter basis. This is equal to 18 to 21 grams of magnesium intake daily. • Use salt mixtures containing magnesium oxide as a magnesium source. To be effective, the mineral mix should contain at least 10 per cent magnesium. • Mix magnesium oxide with other supplements because it is unpalatable. • Graze legume or mixed legume-grass pastures first because early, lush grass growth is more problematic than more mature forages. • Graze less susceptible animals on problem pastures. Dry cows, heifers, stocker cattle and cows nursing calves more than four months old are less susceptible to tetany than cows in heavy lactation.

A feed shortage is forcing some Manitoba and Saskatchewan producers to put their cattle out to pasture earlier than they should. “Feed is really expensive these days, so producers are not going to purchase more,” said Glenn Friesen, forage specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives. “It’s a bit of a perfect storm with short feed supplies and a late pasture. Producers are trying to find alternative ways to feed the animals or are dealing with the consequences of sending to pasture a little bit too soon.” Some fields are being damaged because they’re still too wet for cattle to be out, he said. “The water is there underneath the surface, so it’s a little bit soft and spongy in areas,” he said. “We’re precautioning people to be a little bit careful about that.” The situation isn’t as bad in Alberta, said Ken Ziegler, beef and forage specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “There are always those who are a little bit shy on feed, and then there is, of course, pressure to get them out sooner in the spring,” he said. Those producers who continuously graze are still feeding hay to their cattle, and they should have enough supplies to hold them until the next crop is harvested, Ziegler said. Saskatchewan and Manitoba are hoping for a good hay crop this year to replenish tight inventories — and the early signs are promising. Kevin France, provincial forage specialist in Saskatchewan, said he hasn’t heard of any reports of winterkill damage yet this year. There have only been a few reports in Manitoba, largely because of good snow cover, which also recharged soil moisture levels. The late spring may have some adverse effects on yields, but it will all depend on what happens during the summer growing season. “It’s hard to tell now if the late spring is going to be a problem,” said Friesen. “One would think that that should reduce the yield but I’ve been around long enough to know that once the heat comes, the hay crops can catch up fairly quickly.”

Honeybees hit hard over winter With the Canadian border closed to U.S. honeybee imports, Manitoba honey producers are relying on overseas shipments to rebuild hives By Shannon VanRaes CO-OPERATOR STAFF

a n i t o b a’s b e e k e e p e r s a re f e e l i n g t h e sting of high winter losses, coupled with the pain and expense of overseas bee imports. Early reports indicate average bee loss across the province is above the 30 per cent mark, with some apiarists losing as many as 80 per cent of their hives. “We don’t have a lot of concrete numbers yet, but based on the information we have, basically about 32 per cent of the colonies did not make it through the winter, and this is before spring dwindle... these are outright losses,” said provincial apiarist Rhéal Lafrenière. “ We generally anticipate that spring dwindle numbers would increase that percentage.” The harsh, long winter is one, but not the only, factor. “We really don’t know why these losses are occurring, there doesn’t seem to be any one indicator of what is going on at all,” said Allan Campbell, president of the Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association.

He added many surviving hives are very weak, which makes splitting them problematic. But getting replacements isn’t easy. High honey prices will encourage producers who fared well to hang on to extra hives this summ e r, a n d Ca m p b e l l n o t e d Canadian beekeepers have been banned from importing American honeybees since 1987. “Right now we can import bees from New Zealand, Chile and Australia, but for three times the pr ice,” said the Dauphin-area beekeeper. Bee packages — a queen and about a kilogram of w o rk e r b e e s — f ro m Ne w Zealand currently cost about $150 versus $55 in the U.S., said Campbell. A g r i c u l t u re, Fo o d a n d Rural Initiatives Minister Ron Kostyshyn said he has been in contact with both the Manitoba Beekeepers Association and federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz to discuss reopening the Canadian border to U.S. honeybees. “ We’re well aware of the urgency and that’s why we’ve moved forward as fast as we could,” said Kostyshyn. The Canadian Food Inspec-

tion Agency is conducting a r i s k a s s e s s m e n t t o d e t e rmine if American bees pose any threat to the Canadian industry. The ban was originally imposed to try to stop the spread of the varroa mite. Although it is now present on both sides of the border, some American mites have been found to be pesticide resistant, Campbell noted. But even if the Canadian border does reopen, honey producers will still be faced with mounting and mysterious bee deaths. “I think it’s a combination of things, but there is still this u n k n ow n f a c t o r o u t t h e re that seems to be affecting bees almost worldwide,” said Lafrenière. Lafrenière and Campbell cite last year’s dry fall as a factor, as it depleted nectar and pollen supplies. Last year’s early spring may have also allowed virus levels to build up in hives, said Lafrenière. “In some cases, I suspect varroa mite may have gotten to high levels and even if you control them, there can be a lag period,” said the apiarist. “When levels get high enough, there seems to be this vectoring of viruses.”

“There’s definitely going to be a big question mark around how well the province is going to be pollinated this year. There won’t be enough bees available to cover everything.”

ALLAN CAMPBELL

A pesticide used to coat corn seed has been linked to bee deaths in Eastern Canada, the U.S. and Europe, but Lafrenière said it’s not known how much of an impact pesticides might be having on bees in Manitoba. Whatever the cause, the drop in bee numbers will have an impact on crops which

require pollinating, Campbell said. “There’s definitely going to be a big question mark around how well the province is going to be pollinated this year,” he said. “There won’t be enough bees available to cover everything.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Vaccine licensed for Schmallenberg virus LONDON / REUTERS / British farmers will be the first in Europe to get a vaccine against Schmallenberg virus, a new livestock disease that hit the continent in 2011. A division of Merck has been issued a licence for the new vaccine after an accelerated assessment to make it available this summer.

As a result, farmers will be able to vaccinate sheep and cattle before most of them become pregnant. Schmallenberg virus — named after the German town where it was first detected — infected sheep and cows on at least 2,600 farms in eight EU countries in 2011. It is particularly harmful to the offspring of animals infected during early pregnancy, resulting in stillbirths and malformations such as brain deformities, twisted spines and locked joints.

Officials aren’t sure how porcine epidemic diarrhea reached the U.S. By Ros Krasny WASHINGTON / REUTERS

potentially fatal hog virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea, has been found in the United States for the first time, government and private industry officials said May 17, posing a new threat for the country’s struggling pork producers. PEDV, an incurable condition that causes diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration in hogs, has been identified in Iowa, the largest producing state, and possibly beyond. The severity of the outbreak is not yet known. The virus exists in much of the world but has not previously occurred in the Western Hemisphere. The USDA’s National Veterinary Services Laboratories has detected the virus in the Iowa hog population, a Department of Agriculture spokesman said. Cindy Cunningham, spokeswoman for the National Pork Board in Des Moines, Iowa, said, “It may be a little bit more widespread than just with Iowa at this point... we’re still trying to understand that and determine where it all is.” PEDV is not a food safety concern and does not affect humans, the USDA spokesman said. Officials with USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) held a call with livestock industry representatives May 17 to discuss the situation. There are currently no interstate trade restrictions related to PEDV for U.S. hogs and pigs. PEDV has been seen in England, much of Europe, China, Ta i w a n a n d So u t h Ko re a , according to Iowa State University. “We don’t know the orientation of this particular disease (PEDV ) and how it first got here to the United States,” Cunningham said. To m B u r g e r, e x e c u t i v e d i re c t o r o f t h e A m e r i c a n Association of Swine Veterinarians, said his group was getting “conflicting reports” on how the virus might have arrived. There is no effective treatment for the virus other than good care and the provision of adequate water to combat dehydration, according to the university. Sanitary and quarantine measures can help to slow the spread of the virus. “All ages of the swine can be affected. But the most severe clinical signs are seen in the very young and nursing baby pigs, the baby pigs that are still nursing,” said Burger. The current outbreak could be short lived. Pig herds typically develop a strong immunity to the virus over two to three weeks, at which point the virus disappears spontaneously. Depending on how wides p re a d t h e i n c i dence, the virus could tighten U.S. pork supplies in about five to six months by causing the deaths of baby pigs, said Steve Meyer, president of the consulting firm Paragon Economics.

China steps up inspection of meat trade A series of scandals has prompted the government to step in with increased enforcement BEIJING / REUTERS

hina has begun a crackdown on the sales of f a k e, d i s e a s e d a n d tainted meat products after a series of scandals that have further dented public confidence in the food industry, the official Xinhua news agency said May 16. It said the State Council, China’s cabinet, recently ordered local government departments to step up checks on meat and processed meat products, and carry out detailed inspections of rural factories, workshops and warehouses as well as private slaughterhouses. “The current water-injected meat, fake beef and mutton, dead livestock and other types of toxic and hazardous meat has aroused widespread concern,” said the report. “Local governments at all

levels should strengthen their organization and leadership, to severely crack down on fake beef and mutton and other illegal and criminal activities.” Pork and poultry prices have suffered this year as a result of a series of food safety scandals, a bird flu outbreak and crackdown on expensive government banquets. China has long been plagued by poor food safety standards, but many of the recent scares have involved its meat trade. Earlier this month, the police said it had uncovered a crime ring that passed off more than $1 million in rat and smallmammal meat as mutton. It came after pictures of thousands of dead pigs dumped in rivers supplying Shanghai caused widespread outrage. A media report last year uncovered excessive levels of hormones and antiviral drugs in

chicken meat supplied to KFC, whose parent company is Yum Brands, and McDonald’s. Beijing has repeatedly called for greater inspection of foodprocessing facilities to tackle food safety problems, but such actions appear to have done little to improve standards.

The latest clampdown will encourage local governments to offer rewards to people who inform on illegal activities. The government also called for implementation of measures for the proper disposal of livestock that had died from disease.

Get ready for another cut-off low Issued: Monday, May 26, 2013 · Covering: May 29 – June 5, 2013 Daniel Bezte Co-operator contributor

t looks more and more likely that the second half of this week will be fairly wet across most of southern and central Manitoba. The main questions are just how much rain, where will it fall, and how long will it last? The weather models have been fairly consistent with developing another cut-off low over North Dakota or Montana by Thursday of this week. What they can’t seem to agree on is just where the rain will fall and how long the low will stick around. The current trend is for widespread rain to develop across souther n Manitoba sometime on Thursday and then lift northward into central Manitoba by Friday. This would give a break in the rain for southern regions on Friday. Temperatures will not be that cold, but with heavy cloud cover and rain, highs will only be in the mid-teens. The next tricky part is just how quickly or slowly this sys-

tem will move. The last cutoff low took over three days to decide to move out. Fortunately, this low looks like it will start to pull off to the East late on Friday, pulling most of the rain with it. We’ll likely still see some scattered showers on Saturday before clearing works its way in from the West. Saturday night into Sunday morning will be fairly cool, but it doesn’t look like we will have to worry about frost at this time. Sunday and Monday look to be sunny, as high pressure builds in. A developing area of low pressure to our west will start to pull in some fairly warm air and increasing humidity by mid-week. While this will make it feel quite summer-like, with highs expected to be in the mid-20s, it will also bring with it an increasing chance of thunderstorms. Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 16 to 27 C; lows, 4 to 13 C. Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies during the seven-day period ending May 23. This was the period when southern regions of Manitoba saw all that rain over the long weekend. You can really see how rainfall amounts increase the closer you get to the border between Manitoba and North Dakota, with amounts pushing close to 100 mm in some areas.

Loopy jet stream brings wet weather At least this cut-off low kept cold arctic air out of the region By Daniel Bezte co-operator contributor

n the last issue I indicated we would continue our look at severe summer weather, but sometimes Mother Nature has different plans. You might be thinking now would be a good time to talk about tornadoes, after the devastating tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma, but I think I will leave that discussion for another time. Don’t worry; we’ll continue our look at severe summer weather in a couple of weeks. What I’d like to look at in this issue is the unique system that affected southern regions of Manitoba over the May long weekend. For those of you who live in the southern half of southern Manitoba, the May long weekend ended up being one of the wettest on record. The tables give you a summary of some of the rainfall totals for the three-day period covering Saturday, May 18 through to Monday, May 20. Across the border in North Dakota amounts were even greater, with many locations reporting over 110 mm, and an unofficial total of nearly 240 mm reported! What brought all this rain and why did it last for so long? The answer lies with the jet stream, and in particular, how amplified it has been this spring. You may remember back to some of my earlier articles where we’ve discussed how amplified or loopy the jet stream has been this spring. When

the jet stream loops northward we get a region of high pressure and when it loops southward we get a trough of low pressure. If the jet stream is not that amplified or loopy, then these ridges or troughs migrate from west to east. The less amplified, the faster these troughs and ridges tend to move. As the jet stream amplifies, the eastward progression tends to slow down. If the jet stream gets

really amplified, we can actually see the loop break off from the main flow, creating what’s known as a cut-off low. Since these cut-off lows are no longer connected to the eastward-flowing jet stream, they tend to move very slowly or not at all, sometimes even moving westward in what is known as retrograde motion. You can see something like this happen if you watch the current in a fast-

flowing river or stream. Little eddies or whirlpools will often form and then break away from the main flow where they will slowly meander around or even just sit there. This is exactly what happened over the long weekend. A large cut-off low formed over North Dakota and South Dakota on Friday before the long weekend, and just sat there spinning in basically the same spot for the whole weekend. What was particularly interesting about this cut-off low was just how big it was and how much moisture it was able to pull north from the Gulf of Mexico. While this cut-off low did bring too much rain to extreme southern regions, the fact that it broke off from the main jet stream kept us from getting too cold. If you remember the forecast I made before the long weekend, I was calling for this strong area of low pressure to move through, not breaking off. If this would have happened, it would have pulled down the jet stream, allowing cold arctic air to move in. Instead, the low broke off from the jet stream, which kept the cold arctic air well to our north. I have often talked about how the atmosphere tends to get into certain patterns and sometimes acts like it has a memory, repeating the same pattern over and over again. Well, you might want to check out the forecast, as there is a chance of another cut-off low developing in roughly the same area later this week.

Advice for those farmers struggling to fertilize wet fields Plan A should be to apply ahead or at the time of seeding, but there are Plan Bs

Ideally nitrogen fertilizer should be applied before or during seeding, but there are other options.

By Allan Dawson CO-OPERATOR STAFF

anitoba farmers struggling with fertilizer applications because it’s too wet have options, says provincial soil fertility specialist John Heard. Ideally nitrogen should be banded ahead, or at the time of seeding, but that’s not always possible, he said. For example, a farmer might have a supply problem or fields too wet to support a loaded fertilizer tank. Nitrogen can be banded soon after a crop has been seeded. It’s even possible to apply anhydrous ammonia immediately after a crop is seeded, Heard said. Use narrow knives to avoid soil disturbance and apply before the crop germinates.

“Limited research has indicated that post-seeding banding of anhydrous ammonia may have some advantages over top dressing in terms of cost and efficiency,” says Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiative’s website (http://www.gov.mb.ca/ agriculture/soilwater/nutrient/ fnm03s01.html). “Also, ensure that the anhydrous ammonia is applied at the recommended depth (at least four inches deep) to minimize the potential for seedling damage.” Solid or liquid forms of nitrogen can be broadcast and harrowed in immediately after seeding. “Harrowing can provide some incorporation and reduce the risk of volatilization or gassing off,” the website states.

Top dressing allows for quick seeding. It’s also an efficient method if it rains soon after application, which is common in the spring in the Red River Valley, the website says. “However, if conditions favour volatilization (dry, warm and windy weather), loss of urea N or UAN solution N may be very high.” That’s when farmers should apply nitrogen treated with Agrotain, Heard said. Volatilization occurs when urea comes in contact with moisture and urease, a naturally occurring enzyme in the soil and crop residue that breaks down urea and releases it as ammonia into the air. Agrotain delays losses from volatilization by blocking the urease enzyme.

crop report

Winter wheat acres reseeded due to winterkill Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Initiatives crop report for May 27, 2013 Weekly Provincial Summary

• Producers made good seeding progress over the past week in many areas of Manitoba. Seeding is estimated to be 75-80 per cent complete in the Southwest Region, 80 per cent complete in the Northwest Region, 70-85 per cent complete in the Central Region, 85 per cent complete in the Eastern Region and 75-80 per cent complete in the Interlake Region. • In areas that received higher amounts of precipitation, many producers are modifying their initial seeding plans to account for seeding date, particularly with long, season crops such as grain corn and soybeans. • The earliest-seeded crops are emerging; growth is slow due to cooler conditions. • Reseeding of winter wheat is occurring throughout the province due to poor plant stands. • Pasture and hay growth continues to improve but growth is slow. Many producers moved cattle to pasture.

Southwest Region

Much of the Southwest Region continues to experience excellent seeding progress, with the

exception being areas in and along the Manitoba-U.S. border where an additional five to 10 mm of rain fell late last week. The remainder of the region received accumulations generally less than five mm. The overall per cent seeded for the Southwest Region is estimated to be approximately 80 per cent complete. Initial estimates are that 75 to 80 per cent of last fall’s winter wheat crop will be reseeded. Pasture and hay growth i m p rove d ove r l a s t we e k , depending upon localized rainfall. However, growth continues to be delayed due to the cooler temperatures. Water levels in sloughs and dugouts are at 75 to 80 per cent capacity in northern regions and 80 to 90 per cent in southern regions.

Northwest Region

Temperatures were below seasonal later in the week with some light frost reported on May 23. Generally soil moisture remains adequate; however, there are some localized areas where rain would be welcomed. Seeding progress through Roblin to Swan River areas is

most advanced at 80 to 85 per cent complete. In areas east of the escarpment, producers are at 75 to 80 per cent complete. Field-by-field assessment of winter wheat indicates wide variation of stands; some producers are considering termination and reseed options. Perennial weeds are growing rapidly and annual weeds are germinating. Forage and pastures are in fair to poor condition. Warmer temperatures are needed for adequate growth. Dugout water levels remain adequate.

Central Region

Rainfall amounts were minimal last week with one to three mm in southern areas and three to six mm in northern parts of the region. Areas that received 200 to 275 mm are still waiting for soils to dry. The majority of the region reports 70 to 85 per cent complete. Some cropping plans may now change, dependent on when producers can get back into the fields. Producers in areas with AgriInsurance seed-

ing deadlines of May 30 (full coverage) for corn and soybeans are focusing their efforts on those crops. Winterkill in winter wheat and fall rye is more of an issue in western parts of the region where up to 40 per cent of the acres will be reseeded. Perennial weeds are growing rapidly and annual weeds are germinating. Forage fields continue to improve. Pastures are improving on a daily basis and rated as fair to good. Dugouts are full or close to full in much of the region, with the recent rains.

Eastern Region

Most of the northern areas of the region received only a few mm or less over the whole week, while the southern areas received between five and 35 mm of precipitation. Temperatures dipped down close to freezing on Thursday and Friday but no evidence or reports of crop damage or actual frost occurrence. Seeding in the Eastern Region is estimated at 85 per cent complete.

Hay conditions in the region are rated as 75 per cent good to 25 per cent fair. The condition of pasture lands in the region is rated as 75 per cent good to 25 per cent fair. Most livestock in the northern part of the region are on pasture and continue to be supplemented with hay. In southern regions, 75 per cent of cattle are on pasture. Availability of livestock water, including dugouts, is rated as 100 per cent adequate.

Interlake Region

Frost throughout the region was reported on Thursday and Friday night. Plant damage was noticeable on alfalfa and canola in the Arborg/Teulon area. Seeding is 75 to 80 per cent complete in the Interlake Region. Winter wheat plant stands were rated as fair to poor with some acres being reseeded to canola. Hay and pasture acres are improving; rain and warm temperatures would accelerate plant growth in the North Interlake. Most cattle are on pasture but still needing some sort of supplement feed. Dugout conditions are good.

lear and reasonable rules for low levels of genetically modified grains and oilseeds need to be part of any Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, Canadian farm leaders told their counterparts from Peru and other c o u n t r i e s d u r i n g a re c e n t trade trip to Lima. “It was a great opportunity to explain to negotiators and other stakeholders why the TPP needs to include provisions that will give all farmers better market access,” said Richard Phillips, executive director of the Grain Growers of Canada. “ It ’s i m p o r t a n t t h a t a n a m b i t i o u s T P P a g re e m e n t includes a strong commitment to regulatory coherence and language for a low-levelpresence policy.” Phillips and Brian Innes, market access manager for the Canola Council of Canada, made that pitch during a forum organized by the Peruvian government. The duo said science-based policies related to maximum residue levels of crop protection products and biotechnology will help improve both trade and international food security. “The reality in the world today is that biotechnology is playing a central role in crop production, and we need strong policies that facilitate trade and avoid unnecessary non-tariff trade barriers,” said Innes. Biotechnology will be key to meeting global food demand in the coming decades and can help reduce excessive cultivation to control weeds and pesticide use, they said. Their presentation highlighted the need for countries to approve new traits at the same time to facilitate trade. Currently, for example, Canada, the U.S. and Australia could approve a new trait, which then might take several years for registration in other countries. This has the effect of creating an artificial trade barrier due to the possibility of very low levels of dust or commingling in other grain shipments. In addition to the formal presentation, Phillips and Innes met with a number of negotiators and stakeholders involved in the talks.

This handicap will be selfinflicted and is, we believe, entirely avoidable. After years of observations and a decade of integrative research convened under the Ear th System Science Partnership (ESSP) and other initiatives, water scientists are more than ever convinced that freshwater systems across the planet are in a precarious state. Mismanagement, overuse and climate change pose long-term threats to human well-being, and evaluating and responding to those threats constitutes a major challenge to water researchers and managers alike. Countless millions of individual local human actions add up and reverberate into larger regional, continental and global changes that have drastically changed water flows and storage, impaired water quality, and damaged aquatic ecosystems. Human activity thus plays a central role in the behaviour of the global water system. Since 2004, the Global Water System Project (GWSP) has spearheaded a broad research agenda and new ways of thinking about water as a complex global system, emphasizing the links that bind its natural and human components. Research carried out by GWSP and its

partners has produced several important results that inform a better global understanding of fresh water today. Humans are a key feature of the global water system, influencing prodigious quantities of water: stored in reservoirs, taken from rivers and groundwater and lost in various ways. Additional deterioration through pollution, now detectable on a global scale, further limits an already-stressed resource base, and negatively affects the health of aquatic life forms and human beings. At a time of impending water challenges, it remains a struggle to secure the basic environmental and social observations needed to obtain an accurate picture of the state of the resource. We need to know about the availability, condition and use of water as part of a global system through sustained environmental surveillance. History teaches us that failure to obtain this basic information will be costly and dangerous. Humans typically achieve water security through shortterm and often costly engineering solutions, which can create long-lived impacts on socialecological systems. Faced with a choice of water for short-term economic gain or for the more general health of aquatic ecosystems, society overwhelmingly chooses development, often with deleterious consequences on the very water systems that provide the resource. Traditional approaches to development are counterproductive, destroying the services that healthy water systems provide, such as flood protection, habitat for fisheries and pollution control. Loss of these services will adversely affect current and future generations. Sustainable development requires both technological and institutional innovation. At

present, the formulation of effective institutions for the management of water lags behind engineering technologies in many regions. Research from the GWSP and elsewhere confirms that current increases in the use of water and impairment of the water system are on an unsustainable trajectory. However, current scientific knowledge cannot predict exactly how or precisely when a planetary-scale boundary will be breached. Such a tipping point could trigger irreversible change with potentially catastrophic consequences. The existing focus on water supply, sanitation and hygiene has delivered undoubted benefits to people around the world, but equally, we need to consider wider Sustainable Development Goals in the context of the global water system. Ecosystembased sustainable water management, a pressing need that was reaffirmed at the Rio+20 Earth Summit, requires that solving water problems must be a joint obligation of environmental scientists, social scientists, engineers, policy-makers, and a wide range of stakeholders. These realities motivate the water community assembled in Bonn for the Global Water System Project Conference “Water in the Anthropocene” to make a set of core recommendations to institutions and individuals focused on science, governance, management and decision-making relevant to water resources on Earth. Given the development imperatives associated with all natural resources at the dawn of the 21st century, we urge a united front to form a strategic partnership of scientists, public stakeholders, decision makers and the private sector. This partnership should develop a broad, communityconsensus blueprint for a realitybased, multi-perspective, and

multi-scale knowledge-to-action water agenda, based on these recommendations: 1) Make a renewed commitment to adopt a multi-scale and interdisciplinary approach to water science in order to understand the complex and interlinked nature of the global water system and how it may change now and in future. 2) Execute state-of-the-art synthesis studies of knowledge about fresh water that can inform risk assessments and be used to develop strategies to better promote the protection of water systems. 3) Train the next generation of water scientists and practitioners in global change research and management, making use of cross-scale analysis and integrated system design. 4) Expand monitoring, through traditional land-based environmental observation networks and state-of-the-art earth-observation satellite systems, to provide detailed observations of water system state. 5) Consider ecosystem-based alternatives to costly structural solutions for climate proofing, such that the design of the built environment in future includes both traditional and green infrastructure. 6) Stimulate innovation in water institutions, with a balance of technical- and governancebased solutions and taking heed of value systems and equity. A failure to adopt a more inclusive approach will make it impossible to design effective green growth strategies or policies. The recommendations above, taken collectively, can constitute the centrepiece of a blueprint to promote the adoption of science-based evidence into the

formulation of goals for sustainable development. Stewardship requires balancing the needs of humankind and the needs of nature through the protection of ecosystems and the services that they provide. Without such a design framework, we anticipate highly fragmented decisionmaking and the persistence of maladaptive approaches to water management.

Humanity’s effect on the global water system The Global Water System Project (www.gwsp.org) looked at how humans are changing the global water cycle. Among its finding: An area the size of South America is used to grow crops and an area the size of Africa for raising livestock. On average, humanity has built one large dam every day for the last 130 years. Tens of thousands of large dams now distort natural river flows. More rock and sediment is now moved by human activities such as shoreline in-filling, damming and mining than by the natural erosive forces of ice, wind and water combined. Evaporation from poorly managed irrigation has rendered many of the world’s rivers dry. Due to groundwater and hydrocarbon pumping in lowlying coastal areas, two-thirds of major river deltas are sinking, some of them at a rate four times faster on average than global sea level is rising.

ou are busy. That’s probably as much of a sentence as you have time to read right now, rushing to keep up with spring seeding. Right to the point — here are a few easy, nutritious recipes to keep everyone going — and going and going. One comes from CanadaBeef Inc.’s Clever Casseroles collection of “old-but-new” recipes, or made-over healthier versions of dishes we love. Two are courtesy of Manitoba Chicken Producers, including a “one-pot” chicken pasta and an utterly no-fuss, quick-to-make, crispy fried chicken. The other is out of a cookbook many of you will recall from a few years back called Pasta from the Prairies - 70 Great Recipes from the Farm Kitchens of Western Canada and published in 2006 during the CWB’s 70th anniversary. This recipe’s taste tester was a Saskatchewan farmer who vouched for it as a good meal-to-the-field dish. True, all these will take a little time to prepare and cook, but not too much time. And let’s face it, you need to take care of yourselves at all times of the year; eating well is important no matter how busy you are. If you have time to crack me an email (thanks in advance!) I would love to hear from readers about meal preparation and what you’re sending out to the field at this hectic time of year.

One-Pot Chicken Pasta 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, chopped 2 tsps. EACH dried oregano and basil 2 small zucchini, cubed 1 can spicy pasta sauce (700-ml size) 3 c. milk 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar 1 tsp. EACH salt and pepper 1 tsp. hot pepper sauce 3 c. whole wheat or brown rice macaroni 1-1/2 c. shredded Italian cheese blend

Cut chicken thighs into bite-size pieces. In a large pot over medium-high heat, stircook chicken, garlic, onion and herbs until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in zucchini, pasta sauce, milk, vinegar, salt and pepper, hot pepper sauce and pasta. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for 18-20 minutes or until the pasta is tender. If the mixture is getting too thick, stir in up to 1/2 cup hot water. Remove from heat and serve topped with cheese. Prep time: 15 minutes

Preheat oven to 400 F. In a resealable plastic bag, mix together flour, chili powder, salt and pepper. Add the drumsticks, close the bag and shake it until the drumsticks are completely coated in the seasoned flour. Dip each drumstick in beaten egg and roll it in the crushed corn flakes. Put drumsticks on a foil-covered baking sheet and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the largest drumstick reads 170 F. Variation: For a lower-fat version, remove the chicken skin before coating the drumsticks in flour. Source: Manitoba Chicken Producers PHOTO: CANADA BEEF INC.

Mediterranean Beef And Pasta Bake This recipe makes hearty and healthy go hand in hand. Those pressed for time can skip the baking and make this as a stove-top dish. For a potluck affair, the recipe can easily be doubled, baking in a 13x9-inch baking dish. 2 c. whole wheat rotini or penne pasta 3/4 - 1 lb. extra-lean or lean ground beef 1 medium onion 1 c. sliced mushrooms 1/2 EACH diced sweet red and green pepper 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 jar (700-ml jar) fat- and salt-reduced pasta sauce 1 c. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese 1/2 c. feta cheese 1/4 c. chopped pitted Kalamata olives 2 tbsp. prepared basil pesto

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, cook ground beef, onion, mushrooms, red and green peppers and garlic in large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat for eight to 10 minutes or until meat is cooked thoroughly and any liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat. Stir in pasta sauce, half of the mozzarella, feta, olives, pesto and cooked pasta. Spoon into 8-inch square baking dish and top with remaining mozzarella. Tent loosely with foil and bake in 350 F oven for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for five minutes. Makes: 6 servings.

Cooking time: 20 minutes. Serves: 6.

Souper Casserole This recipe was submitted by Helen Nemeth of Winnipeg to the Pasta from the Prairies cookbook in 2006. 2 to 3 slices bacon 2 stalks celery, chopped 3 lbs. ground beef 1 can (10 oz.) tomato soup 1 can (10 oz.) cream of chicken soup 1 can (10 oz.) mushroom soup 1 can (10 oz.) cream of celery soup 1/2 pkg. spaghetti or spaghettini Crushed potato chips

Crisp bacon and set aside. Cook celery and ground beef until done. Add all the soups. Cook pasta. Combine with meat mixture and mix well. Top with crushed potato chips and bacon. Cook at 350 F about 30 minutes. Serves 10 to 12. Taste-tester’s note: “This was a souper-easy meal to make,” according to Bonnie Werdal, an Aylesbury, Saskatchewan farmer. The ingredients were easy to find and she gave it a three out of five for taste, although noted it could use more seasonings. With just three pounds of beef it fed four adults and three kids and there were leftovers. Bonnie described it as “good for lunch, a plain dinner or a meal to the field.”

Want a good thrill? Choose the right plant and you’ll be sure to have one By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

ardening gurus are great at coming up with terms to describe groups of plants or a certain plant that serves a very specific purpose. So it is that we have “dazzlers” — those plants that act as eye-catching focal points in containers; they are usually placed near the front centre of an arranged container of plants. Another term we often see is “thrillers” to describe large plants positioned at the back of containers to add drama and colour. They are usually big, bold plants that have unique foliage, unusual shape or fascinating blooms. A thriller plant will be an uprightgrowing one, as it will act as a backdrop to the shorter plants in front of it. It will also have to co-ordinate with the colour combinations of the other plants and perhaps echo the colour of the focal point plant at the front of the container. The plant will also have to be robust and yet controlled enough so as not to overwhelm the accompanying plants either by size or growth habit. You do not want this one plant to overgrow the container so that the other plants do not have a chance to develop properly and contribute maximum interest. What are some plants that make good thrillers? Mystic Spires salvia is a tall, Victoria-like salvia that grows almost a metre tall and blooms all summer. The bright-blue spikes are held well above the foliage to provide a perfect background for the other plants in the con-

tainer. Argyranthemum — those lovely chrysanthemum-like plants — are perfect thrillers. Most of their bloom is produced on the tops of the upright plants so that it isn’t hidden by the other plants in front of it. The yellow or white blooms will combine well with a large number of other plants. Grasses of all kinds make great thrillers because of their interesting texture and unique seed heads. Although annual grasses like purple fountain grass are very appropriate, even perennial grasses like ribbon grass or Karl Foerster feather reed grass will add drama to any container. If you want something a bit more unusual, you might erect a small trellis at the back of the container and plant a vine such as Mandeville or Thunbergia to climb up to provide a unique backdrop for the container. More exotic and dramatic plants, such as cannas and elephant ear are also useful as thrillers. Care must be taken with such large plants, however, as they may grow to be out of scale with the container arrangement or their wide-reaching stems might be hard to keep from encroaching on the space occupied by other plants. Whatever thrillers you finally end up using in your containers, they will be sure to provide drama and excitement with their bold flowers, unique structure, or awesome foliage. Everyone who views your containers this summer will be thrilled! Albert Parsons writes from Minnedosa, Manitoba

Not all additives are bad Often thought of as a negative, some food additives are beneficial By Julie Garden-Robinson NDSU Extension Service

“

have been reading the long ingredient lists on food packages. I’d like to consume fewer food additives, so can you send me a list of all of them and what they do?” the person asked me. I wasn’t sure how to respond because our food supply includes hundreds of additives. Because my client didn’t use the Internet, I found a handout that explained the basics of food additives and provided it to her. A list of all of the food additives probably would have been overwhelming for both of us. Technically, any substance added to food is a “food additive.” Check out the ingredients on the nearest food p a c k a g e. So me additives have complicated names that seem to require a chemist to pronounce. The term “food additives” sometimes carries a negative connotation. However, if you preserve your own food, the salt and vinegar you add when making pickles would be con-

sidered food additives. The sugar and pectin you add to fruit to make jelly or jam also would be termed food additives. When you add baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to your cookie dough, the chemical acts as a leavening agent. You guessed it: It’s a food additive.

“If you have milk in your refrigerator, most likely you will see “vitamin D fortified” on the label.”

We consumers expect safe, high-quality food that tastes good and stays fresh for a while at home. Food additives serve many different functions. “Enrichment” nutrients are added to replace the vitamins lost during processing.

“Fortification” nutrients are added to enhance the nutritional value of the food. If you read the ingredients on a package of enriched flour, you will see B vitamins, including niacin and riboflavin, and iron on the list. If you have milk in your refrigerator, most likely you will see “vitamin D fortified” on the label. Vitamin D helps our body use the calcium in milk to build strong bones. Other additives help retain the quality and freshness of foods. For example, bread will grow fuzzy mould fairly quickly, so many bread products contain preservatives so they last longer. Other preservatives, such as tocopherols (vitamin E), act as antioxidants to prevent fat-containing foods from becoming rancid. Several food additives enhance the flavour of foods. For example, you might see “hydrolyzed vegetable protein” or “monosodium glutamate” added to soups or dinner mixes. Flavouring additives can be “all natural,” too. Spices, such as cinnamon, enhance the flavour of foods.

Most consumers prefer their food to look attractive. Natural and artificial colourants are used in a wide range of foods, including soft drinks, candy, baked goods and gelatin products. Would you buy a bottle of white maraschino cherries to top a sundae? Would your grape or orange soda taste right if it were clear? Food gums, such as guar gum and xanthan, are added to frozen desserts to keep them smooth and creamy. Other foods contain emulsifiers that help keep particles of one food suspended in another food. Without an emulsifier, salad dressing ingredients, such as vinegar and oil, will separate into layers. Are all these additives safe? Food additives have been regulated for many years, and sometimes they are removed from the food supply if new research shows safety issues. Other additives are returned to the food supply when researchers demonstrate their safety. Some additives are safe in small doses but may carry

some risk in higher amounts. However, don’t be afraid of food additives. They have a purpose in our food supply. Perhaps you might want to simplify your diet for a variety of reasons, so consider these tips: • Read food labels, including the ingredient list and the Nutrition Facts label. A shorter ingredient list means fewer additions to the original food. • Prepare food from scratch more often instead of using packaged mixes. • Shop the perimeter of the store. Often, the perimeter includes fresh produce and fresh meat without long ingredient lists. • Grow a garden and preserve its bounty. You will know exactly where the food was grown and how the food was prepared.

A BOOK FOR ALL Brandon student collects books to be included in food hampers By Alison McEvoy Murray FREELANCE CONTRIBUTOR

eanut butter and jelly. Ham and cheese. Kids and books. What do these all have in common? Apart from the kids, they could all have been found in hampers from the Samaritan House in Brandon, Manitoba, this past January. And it was a kid who made sure a book was in each hamper. Katie Wilson, a Grade 6 student, recognized how important it was for children and people everywhere to have “literacy nutrition.” “It’s so much fun to read and I want people to enjoy books and it’s something special to have your very own book,” said Katie. So she

began a book drive to collect books. But where does a sixth-grader even get an idea like this one? K a t i e’s i n s p i r a t i o n f o r the book collection came from her fifth-grade teacher Lynn Nicol, who believes in the importance of “presenting issues in class and having (students) look at them,” and in doing so empowering others. That sense of empowerment was the impetus for Katie’s book drive. “Ms. Nicol told me about the idea,” said Katie. “She never got it started so I put it in motion.” Putting it in motion meant sending a letter home with the youngest child in each family in her school, having an article writ-

ten about Katie in the local paper, an ad on ebrandon. com and a radio interview with CBC Winnipeg’s Marilyn Maki. Katie’s goal was to collect 1,150 books. In the end, a total of 2,674 books were available to be distributed by Samaritan House. One of the main participants in Katie’s project was Samaritan House Ministries, a Brandon-based Christian organization whose mission statement reads, “labouring together with one vision... to help those in need.” Because of Nicol’s previous work with Samaritan House, Katie chose the organization to help with the distribution of the books. Marcia Hamm-Wiebe, p ro g ra m c o - o rd i n a t o r a t

Samaritan House, says that her organization gives out 1,200 to 1,400 food hampers monthly to families in need. In the January food hampers, books from Katie’s book drive were also included. Books were also available to be given out to people who came to Samaritan House to access the other services it provides such as employment assistance, education upgrading and emotional and spiritual counselling.

Our bodies need the proper food to keep them healthy and strong. Our minds also need nutrition in order to grow. Katie Wilson’s project to help people in the Brandon area have their minds nourished was a great success, and hopefully those who benefited from the book drive will have had their lives enriched. When that happens, the whole community benefits. Alison McEvoy Murray writes from Brandon, Manitoba

MBA promotes regional band activity By Candy Irwin FREELANCE CONTRIBUTOR

he 20th Community Band Festival was held at the Pinawa Community Centre last month. Presented by the Manitoba Band Association (MBA), Ken Epp, MBA executive director, explained that band music is different than orchestral music in that all the musicians are wind and percussion players, and generally, there are no stringed instruments. Five bands were part of the event — Assiniboia Community Band, Regimental Band of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, Eastman Community Band, Northwinds Community Concert Band, and the Westwood Community

Band, with city and rural members ranging in age from high school students to senior citizens. MBA is a not-for-profit organization promoting the growth and development of band in Manitoba. Besides the Community Band Festival, it also sponsors a variety of regional and provincial activities including concert and jazz band festivals, a solo and ensemble festival, summer band camps and provincial honour bands. There are community bands throughout Manitoba in Winnipeg, Brandon, Dauphin, Pinawa, Somerset, S w a n R i v e r, W h i t e m o u t h a n d Thompson. For more information go to www.mbband.org.

Make some teacup candles By La’Costa Godbout FREELANCE CONTRIBUTOR

f you have china teacups that you never use but just can’t part with, this idea may be just for you — or perhaps for an inexpensive gift.

Supplies:

• Two old pots, similar in size or an old double boiler • Candy thermometer • Wooden skewer • China teacups • Several old candles (can be partially burned) • Wicks (length will be approx. the width of the cup)

PHOTO: CANDY IRWIN

Reader’s Photo

• Newspaper • Tongs

Instructions:

Arrange cups on newspaper close to stove. Fill one pot with water and put candles in the other pot and place on top. Heat on low. Insert candy thermometer and keep wax temperature between 160 F and 185 F. As the wax melts, remove the old wicks with tongs. Using the new wicks, dip the ends of the wick sustainers (metal part attached to bottom of the wick) into the melted wax, place into the teacup, and use wooden

skewer to push to bottom of cup. Repeat for remaining cups. Once all the wax has melted, remove thermometer and pour wax into teacups to approx. 1/2 inch below top of cup. Let set for about 45 minutes. As the wax cools it will cave in slightly around the wick. Prick holes about 1/8 inch deep around the wick with skewer end. Reheat remaining wax and pour to fill cup to 1/4 inch below top. Let cool for about two hours. Trim wick to 1/4-inch height and admire! La’Costa Godbout writes from Winnipeg

Arena 6 – 60101 • Hit N Hitch Pintle Benefits farmers and construction people when hooking up their farm trucks to pintle hitches. Our new Hit N Hitch Pintle works exactly the same as Power Pin’s Drop Pin for farm tractors. From the cab of the truck the hitching operation can be achieved, it is one trip from cab for truck/trailer hitching but one safe trip. Our new design eliminates many of the problems associated with the current pintle that manually had to be locked down onto the trailer ring. It has a swivel locking plate vertically so there is no room for gravel, ice or salt build up.

The Force line has incorporated the skid and legs into what has become a very effective aeration system. The ease in which the fan can be mounted onto the bin is one of the features our bin presents, however it is the broader skid formation and aeration system that really make our bins stand out in the market place.
