Forage litter is not a waste of feed by Nadia Mori, MSc, PAg, Regional Forage Specialist Watrous Regional Services Office Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Whether you call it litter, mulch, or simply the dead stuff between the growing vegetation, this material is an important part of your pasture’s long-term health. Forage left behind after grazing because it was not eaten or maybe just trampled by the animals may seem like waste but. it will turn into litter which is like a deposit into your forage bank account, allowing your forage stand to grow richer over time. Litter is an important component of a healthy pasture, be it tame or native forage. Litter keeps the soil surface cool in the heat of summer and

insulates the soil against extreme cold during the winter. Because litter helps regulate soil temperature there is less moisture lost to the air and more soil water available to plants during dry growing conditions. At the same time, litter can protect your soil surface through minimizing the physical impact of falling rain drops. Water will be slowed down and given a chance to infiltrate the soil. Litter along with live plant roots slows runoff and creates a pathway for water to flow into the soil. This greatly reduces the potential for soil erosion by water. Keeping the bare soil between plants covered with litter also reduces wind erosion and the opportunities for weeds to grow or insects like grasshoppers to lay eggs. As soil mi-

croorganisms break down the litter to humus, nutrients are recycled to support and fertilize growing plants. Can you ever have too much litter? In rare occasions where a pasture has seen little or no use for a number of years, it may be possible that litter temporarily reduces forage production because of too much shading. Overall though, the benefits of litter retention far outweigh any potential risk of forage production loss. So how do you measure the amount of litter on your pasture? In an area about 50 cm by 50 cm, use your hand to rake up all readily available litter material and form it into a ball or clump. Set the ball of material on your hand. If the amount of material covers your palm and the

entire length of your fingers you have around 450 lbs of litter per acre. If the material on your hand covers your palm and only half of your fingers your pasture averages around 250 lbs of litter per acre. Minimum litter amounts for a healthy tame pasture in the dark brown soil zone range from 350 to 450 lbs of litter per acre and 400 to 550 lbs per acre in the black soil zone. Keep in mind that this is a quick and rough method of estimating your litter. If you would like to learn more about pasture health assessment and litter measurements on your pasture, please contact your local Ministry of Agriculture Regional Forage Specialist or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre (Toll-free 1-866-457-2377).

Weed Free Hay Certification Potential for Saskatchewan by Nadia Mori, MSc, PAg, Regional Forage Specialist Watrous Regional Services Office Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Weeds know no borders and they like to spread.

Transportation of hay containing viable weed seeds is a major cause of spread throughout the countryside. The Saskatchewan Forage Council and industry partners are taking the lead in a province wide initiative on invasive plant species management strategies. The project involves increasing awareness of the impact of invasive plant species but it also includes a pilot program for weed free forage. In Alberta and the United States, weed free forage certification is already implemented and avail-

able. This year, a group of 15 to 20 producers in the Wood River area in southern Saskatchewan are taking part in this pilot to assess the potential feasibility of a weed free forage certification program in Saskatchewan. Many forage and livestock producers have already had costly experiences with the control and eradication of invasive weeds on their land. Whenever producers need to purchase hay from an offfarm source there is a risk of introducing new and potentially troublesome weeds to their land. If there was certified weed free hay available on the market, a producer could take comfort in knowing that the purchased hay was inspected before harvest and that the hay crop contained no undesirable weeds. On the other hand, the certification would also provide hay producers with the opportunity to prove to their customers that their hay is weed free. This project has been designed to develop solutions for the forage and livestock industry to deal with the ever-growing threat of invasive plant species. For the industry to respond to this challenge, it is important that a proactive approach be taken to develop the capacity and tools to manage this issue and to pilot the practical application of these measures on the ground with producers and the forage industry. The one year pilot project is designed to find answers to questions related to producer cost, program implementation and local market potentials This project was made possible through the participation of many partners including the Saskatchewan Forage Council, Frenchman – Wood River Weed Management Area, Saskatchewan Forage Seed Development Commission, Crossing the Medicine Line Network, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. If you are interested to learn more about the project please contact Coy Schellenberg, Project Coordinator, at (306) 244-2447 or Nadia Mori, Ministry of Agriculture, Regional Forage Specialist in Watrous at (306) 946-3219.

by Brenda Stefanson, PAg Farm Business Management Specialist Regional Services, Ministry of Agriculture Watrous Regional Office At this time of year, you may be surveying your crops, anticipating a promising harvest and wondering if you have enough storage capacity. What is the most cost effective way to increase your storage capacity? Ministry of Agriculture staff have made some calculations to help inform your decision. This article provides a cost comparison on three types of storage options: (1) steel hopper bottom bins with steel foundations and aeration, (2) steel flat bottom bins with concrete floors and aeration, and (3) grain bag system. The calculations are based on pricing information gathered in early 2011. The actual investment costs will vary based on the prices you negotiate with your supplier. To enable a cost comparison, several assumptions are made. It is assumed that the farm requires 120,000 bushels of storage capacity, based on 4000 seeded acres with an average yield of 30 bushels per acre. The cost of augers for loading and unloading is included in the cost of bins. The cost of the grain bag system includes the cost of a loader, un-loader and grain cart. The cost of spoilage in bins is not included but spoilage is included in the cost of the grain bag system because it can be a significant cost especially when storing a commodity with a high market value. Let’s look at the total investment cost of the different storage options. To store 120,000 bushels, you will need approximately 22 hopper bins with a capacity of 5390 each. With the cost of foundations, aeration and auger included, the total investment is estimated to be $459,184.60 or $3.83 per bushel of storage space. You will need just 9.6 flat bottom bins with 12,500 bushel capacity, to store the same amount of product. Including the cost of concrete floors, aeration and augers the total investment cost would be approximately $293,500.00 or $2.45 per bushel of storage capacity. Grain bags can also store up to 12,500 bushels so 9.6 bags will store 120,000 bushels of grain. The total cost of the bags

would be $7,584.00 but this purchase must be made yearly. You won’t need foundations or aeration but you will need a bagger, un-loader and grain cart. Including these costs, your total initial investment is $112,584.00 or $0.94 per bushel. Assuming that bins will last approximately 25 years and augers, grain baggers, un-loaders and grain carts around 10 years, we can calculate the annual cost of the various storage options. The annual cost calculations include depreciation, opportunity cost, repairs and maintenance and interest on investment. The annual cost of the grain bag option includes the yearly cost of bags and an allowance for spoilage. The total annual cost of steel hopper bins with steel foundations and aeration is approximately $70,437.32 or $0.59 per bushel of storage capacity. Flat bottom steel bins with concrete floors and aeration show an annual cost of $45,916.00 or $0.38 per bushel. The annual cost of the equipment (bagger, un-loader and grain cart) necessary in a grain bag system is $24,360. This comes in at just $0.20 per bushel but adding in the yearly purchase of bags and cost of spoilage, the estimated annual cost of the bag system is $0.37 per bushel. This does not include the cost of the tractor required to power the equipment. This analysis seems to indicate that grain bag systems and flat bottom bins are lower in initial investment costs and annual costs. However, there may be other factors that influence your decisions on grain storage. You might also be considering the ease of unloading hopper bins or the convenience of on-field storage provided by grain bags. Environmental factors may also be of concern and you will want to watch for information from the grain bag recycling pilot project currently underway.

Programs to help your farm by Leroy Bader, PAg Regional Farm Business Management Specialist Regional Services, Tisdale Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Growing Forward is a commitment to Canada’s agriculture sector and delivers programs that are tailored to local needs. The current Growing Forward programs are costshared by the Government of Canada and Saskatchewan on a 60/40 basis. Growing Forward is the FederalProvincial framework that is broken into two parts: Business Risk Management (BRM) and Non-Business Risk Management programs. The BRM suite of programs replaces the Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization (CAIS) program with programs that are intended to be more responsive to farmer’s needs. These programs help farmers manage risk by providing insurance, disaster relief and security against income losses. The programming includes AgriStability, AgriRecovery, AgriInvest and Crop Insurance (AgriInsurance). Non-BRM programs focus on helping farmers build their business by supporting innovation, commercialization and sustainability, and enabling profitability. Key programs include: FRWIP: The Farm and Ranch Water infrastructure Program supports the development of secure water sources in Saskatchewan to expand the livestock industry, encourage rural economic activity and mitigate the effects of future drought. Wells, dugouts or water pipelines can be

eligible for funding assistance. FBDI: The Farm Business Development Initiative helps farmers improve their practices in nine areas of farm business management. Financial support is provided on a cost-shared basis up to a maximum of $4,000 per eligible farmer or up to $10,000 for farmers under the age of 40. SAVI: The Saskatchewan AgriValue Initiative helps in the development and expansion of small to medium-sized enterprises involved in value-added processing of agricultural products such as food, feeds or bio-products. The program will provide information services, business assessment tools, and financial assistance in key business management areas. ADOPT: The purpose of the Agricultural Demonstration of Practices and Technologies program is to accelerate the transfer of locally relevant knowledge to the Saskatchewan farming community. The ADOPT program provides funding to help local producer groups in evaluating and demonstrating new agricultural practices and technologies. The results of successful trials can then be adopted by farming operations in the region. In addition to these popular programs, there are other programs that address environment, food safety, biosecurity and livestock traceability. To obtain more information on any of these programs contact the nearest Ministry of Agriculture Regional Office or check the Ministry website at http://www.agriculture.gov. sk.ca/GrowingForward.
