Model-Based Principal Field Crop Estimates, August 2024
Statistics Canada, September 16, 2024
The September publication of the Field Crop Reporting Series is a joint release between Statistics Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Statistics Canada, in collaboration with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, has relied upon proven satellite technology to model preliminary crop yields and production since 2016. These methods have successfully been used for the past nine years to produce August yield estimates, and they replaced July survey yield estimates beginning in 2020.
In 2024, Canadian farmers are projected to produce more wheat, oats and soybeans, but less canola, corn for grain and barley, compared with 2023, according to recent yield model estimates using satellite imagery and agroclimatic data.
Across parts of the Prairies, lower-than-average precipitation and prolonged high temperatures have resulted in a decline in crop conditions from the beginning of the season, although conditions were up in some areas compared with a year earlier. In Alberta, provincial reports indicated that conditions decreased throughout the month of August, with 43% of the total crop rated as being in good to excellent condition at the end of August, down from 51% at the end of July, and below the ve-year average. n as atchewan, some areas have been impacted by hot and dry conditions, especially in southern parts of the province. Provincial reports from Manitoba indicated that precipitation at this time remains above average, while temperatures have been in line with normal.
In Ontario and Quebec, crops appear to be progressing well, but some areas of Ontario may have been impacted by excess moisture and high temperatures. The
Atlantic provinces have experienced warmer weather and less rainfall than average since the beginning of the growing season.
easurements of the ormali ed ifference egetation nde produced using satellite data indicate that overall plant health in the Prairie provinces ranged from much lower than normal to higher than normal at the end of August. This suggests the possibility of yields much lower than normal to similar to normal.
Crop development in Eastern Canada generally ranged from lower than normal to similar to normal in August.
WHEAT PRODUCTION IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS YIELDS RISE
Nationally, wheat production is projected to grow by 4.1% year over year to 34.3 million tonnes in 2024. The increase is expected to be led by higher yields, which are anticipated to rise by 5.7% to 48.4 bushels per acre. Harvested area is expected to decrease by 1.6% to 26.0 million acres.
pring wheat production is e pected to fall by 1.0% to 2 .3 million tonnes. pring wheat yields are anticipated to increase by 2.5% to 50.1 bushels per acre, while harvested area is expected to decrease by 3.4% to 18.5 million acres.
The anticipated increase in total wheat production is largely attributable to durum wheat. Harvested area is expected to increase by 5.3% to 6.2 million acres, while yields are anticipated to jump by 40.2% to 35.9 bushels per acre, contributing to higher anticipated durum wheat production (+47.6% to 6.0 million tonnes). heat harvested area in as atchewan is projected to decrease by 0.6%, while yields are expected to rise by 9.8% to 42.5 bushels per acre, resulting in a 9.0% increase in production, to 16.0 million tonnes.
Wheat production in Alberta is projected to increase by 10.7% to 10.3 million tonnes, compared with 2023. This rise in 2024 is anticipated to result from higher yields (+12.1% to 0.1 bushels per acre) offsetting lower harvested area, which is expected to fall by 1.1% to 7.6 million acres.

How to Determine When Your Aerway Shattertines Need Replacement
Taken from the website of the Salford Group, salfordgroup.com, October 18, 2024
Monitoring the condition of your AerWay hattertines is crucial to effective soil aeration, which impacts your crop’s performance. This step-by-step guide will help you determine when your tines are worn out and need to be replaced. n this post, we will, e plain how different soil types impact wear plus, how to measure your tines for optimal performance.
UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF SOIL TYPES ON TINE WEAR
er ay hatter ines wear out at different rates depending on the type and condition of the soil:
Sandy soil: Sandy conditions cause tines to wear faster due to the abrasive nature of sand particles.
Heavy soil: n heavier soils, the wear rate may be slower, but the increased resistance can impact overall performance.
Damp soil vs. Dry soil: Dry soils, especially hardpacked dry soil, will accelerate wear compared to moist, softer soils that provide less resistance.
MEASURE THE REMAINING LENGTH OF THE TINES
The most accurate way to determine if your ShatterTines need replacement is by measuring their length: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Locate the clamping ring: This is the metal ring that secures the tines to the drum.
2. Measure from the clamping ring to the tip of the tine: Use a ruler or measuring tape to check the distance.
3. If the distance is six inches or less, the tine is considered worn and should be replaced
4. Check for Lean and Twist Loss: It is important to assess the lean and twist of the tines. These characteristics help with soil fracturing and lifting, which are essential for proper aeration.
• Observe the twist: Healthy ShatterTines have a distinct twist, which helps with the rotational force needed to fracture soil.
• Check the lean: Tines should also lean slightly forward when functioning correctly. This forward lean enhances the aeration process by increasing soil lift.

Introduction
The key to a successfulcropis to plant the right number ofhealthy seeds to achievea goodplantstand.A crop’s overall per formance isinfluenced by bioticandabiotic factors, such assoilhealth,moisture content (whichaffectsgermination), seeding depth,andthequality of seeds (which shouldbe disease-free, bold, anduniform). Under favourable conditions, adopting certainagronomicmanagement practices can lead to promising results
Determiningtheoptimum seeding rate for the specific cropiscrucialinestablishing a good plant stand. Under optimal conditions, the seeding rate directlyinfluencesthe plant stand, whichimpactstheestablishment of a healthy crop. A vitalaspect ofthisisthecrop’s ability tocompete effectivelyagainst weeds and diseases,afactor significantly influenced by theseeding rate It alsoaffects growth parameterssuchas flowering, maturity, andharvest
For example, the dense growthof cerealcrops can hinder theproductionof tertiar y andlate tillers, resulting in a more uniformfloweringand maturity period Thisuniformity helpsachievea disease -freecropthat can beharvested on time(Beresetal.,2021). Additionally, itminimizesthe effects of adverse weather conditionsduringthe crop’s maturity, particularlyinnorthern regionswhere the growingseasonis shor ter thaninotherpartsoftheprovince (Briggs & Aytenfisu, 1979; O’Donovan etal.,2012). The practical implications ofthis researchare significant, asit canprovide farmers andagronomistswithactionableinsightsinto the optimal seeding rates for popularwheat varieties, empoweringthem to improve crophealthand yields
Numerousstudies have examinedthe impact of variousmanagement practiceson cerealyields and other economicallysignificant traits Someofthese studies were conducted under irrigated conditions (McKenzieetal.,2011), whileothers focusedon rainfedor dr yland conditions(Briggs & Ayten-Fisu, 1979). The effects of increased seeding rates onyieldandtraitssuchasprotein content have notbeen consistentlysignificant. Researchhasindicated that optimal seeding rates often produce higher yields thanlower and higher seeding rates (Collieretal.,2021).Similarly, in20192020, AlbertaGrains(then Alberta Wheat Commission) partneredwith four Applied Research Associationsinthe Peace region to assesstheper formance ofpopular wheat varieties under different managementpracticesinNorthern Alberta.
The current study presents an overviewof a two-year evaluation conducted at the Mackenzie Applied Research Associationin Fort Vermilion, Alberta, during 2023and2024. We anticipated that variationsinwheat varietiesand seeding rates (measured by thenumberofplants per square foot) wouldsignificantlyimpact grainproductionandother related parameters We selected fourpopularwheat varietiesfromthe Peace Region:AAC Brandon, AAC Wheatland, AAC Redberry, andAAC Viewfield. These varieties were testedagainst four seeding rates:25,30,35,and40plantsper square foot We evaluated severalparameters, including plant height, protein content, thousandkernel weight, test weight, and yield, acrossthewheat varieties sown atvarious seeding rates.
Materialand Methods
The trial was conduc ted at the MARA researchfarm in Fort Vermilion(SW-13-108-W5)from2023 to 2024. As shownin Table1, fourwheat varieties were planted at varying seeding rates usingarandomized complete block design. Table 2 detailsthe dates for sowing,flowering, maturity, andhar vesting. The fertilizers were appliedbased on recommendations asperthe soil test repor t. Throughout the growingseason, data were collectedon various agronomicparameters, including plant stand, daysto flowering, plant height, and lodging Yield, protein content, moisture, andthousandkernel weight wererecorded at harvest The protein content, moisture, and test weight (T W) were measuredusing NIR FOSSspectroscopy The analysisof Variance (ANOVA) was done usingthestatistical package “agricolae” in R studio (Mendiburu & Yaseen,2020). The Duncanpost-hoc test was used tocompare themeans.
Results & Discussion
The weather conditions presenteda stark contrast betweenthe years2023and 2024. In 2023, we experienced a very dr y star t, which led to patchy germinationandpoor plant stands, ultimately affectingthe overallyield ofall varieties In contrast, the springof 2024 was relatively cool and wet, resulting inimprovedgermination,betterplant stands, andhigheryields Althoughthere wasa localized hail incident inJuly2024, followed by a two-weekperiodof hotand dr y weatherthat causedsomedamage, the rainsin Augusthelpedtheplants recover.
Analysisof variance (Table3) revealed significant differences inplant height across replicationsin both years Protein content andthousand kernel weight (TKW ) showed significantdifferences in2024and2023, respectively Varietal differences were significant for plant height and protein content inboth years, while differences inTK W and yield were significant only in2023.
Plant Height
The height oftheplant was measuredfromthebase ofthestem to thetipofthe spike onthemain tiller. The seeding rate hada significant effec t (p < 0.05)ontheplant height of Redberry in2023,while nosignificant effects were obser ved inother varieties In Redberry, thetallestplants wererecorded at thelowest target seeding rate, while theshor testplants were found at a density of35plants persquare foot However, in2024,theanalysis of variance did not indicate any significantimpac t of the seeding rate ontheheight of the four varieties tested The varieties exhibitedsignificantdifferencesinheight (p < 0.05in2023 andp< 0.01in2024)when averagedacrossthe different seeding rates. Redberry was the tallest variety, measuring 62 cmin2023and77cmin2024. In contrast, Viewfield was theshor test, withheightsof56cmin2023and67cm in 2024,asillustratedin Fig. 1a(2023)and1b (2024). The averageheights for Brandon were 61cmand71cm,while Wheatlandmeasured60cmand 70cm for 2023and2024, respectively
The shor ter growthofallthe varietiesin2023canbe attributed to very earlyheading due to heat stress.
Yield
In 2023, average yields (Fig 2a) were lower due to drought conditions and poorgerminationoftheseed varieties.Whiletheeffec t of different seeding rates was not statisticallysignificant, yieldsdid vary acrossthe various rates. For instance, Redberry achieveditshighestyieldof 42.98bushelsperacre (bu/ac) at thelowest seeding rate of 25 seeds persquare foot It recorded a 36.7bu/acyield at 30 seeds persquare foot seeding rate Viewfield reached itshighestyield at a seeding rate of30 seeds per square foot, whileBrandon andWheatlandhadtheirhighest yields at 35 seeds persquare footand30 seeds per square foot, respectively
In 2024,althoughvisibledifferencesinyield(Fig.2b) were obser vedamongthe variousseeding ratesand varieties, thesedifferences were stillnotstatisticallysignificant. Overall, Redberry exhibitedthehighest averageyield at 50.81bu/ac, followed by Brandon at 46.10bu/ac, Wheatland at42.03bu/ac,and Viewfield at 38.32bu/ac. Theseeding rate of35seedspersquare foot resultedinthehighestyield for Brandon, Viewfield,and Wheatland,while Redberry achieved itshighestyield at 40seedspersquare foot.
Protein content (%)
In 2023,wheat’s protein content (Fig 3a) was notably higher due to lower cropyields caused by moisture stress andearly heading The averageprotein content for that year ranged from20.77% for the Wheatland variety to 21.60% for Redberry In contrast, in2024,theprotein content (Fig 3b) decreased,rangingfrom18.64% for the Viewfield variety to 19.86% for Redberry Furthermore, in2023,both seeding rates and varietiessignificantlyimpac ted overallprotein content, whilein2024, seeding rates did notaffec t the protein content.
Thousand Kernel Weight (TKW
)
The seeding rates inboth years did notaffec t the thousandkernel weight (TKW ).However, the averageTK W variedsignificantly(p<0.05)among the different varietiesin 2023(Fig4a). That year, Brandon exhibitedthehighestTK W at 38.31g, followed by Redberry at 37.05g,Wheatland at 37g, and Viewfield withthelowestTK W.
In 2024,theTK W values(Fig. 4b) were generallyhigher. Brandon again recordedthehighestTK W at 44.5g, followed closely by Redberry at 44g, Viewfield at 43g, andWheatland at 42g The increaseinTK W in2024can be attributed to improved grainquality and texture compared to 2023, where moisture stress resultedinshrivelled grains
Conclusion
The datapresented here pertains to a singlelocation, and a comprehensive analysisacrossall fourlocationswill be conduc ted andpublishedinfuture research reports andpublications The unpredictable weatherpatterns over thepast few yearshave created significant challengesin assessingtheimpac t of seeding rates onthese varieties Further studies are necessar y to determinethesignificance ofchanging seeding rates andthepotentialeffectsof varying seeding dates onthe variousagronomictraitsof springwheat inNorthern Alberta.

Veterinary Equine Dentistry
Dr. Mike Ross
There is an old saying that the key to equine health comes down to three things. These are Teeth, Feet, and Worms. I’m sure we all agree that there is considerably more to e uine health than that, but it signi es the importance of e uine dentistry. uine entistry has been around for centuries. t was practiced by the hinese as early as 600 . ., and even ristotle gave an account on periodontal disease in horses in his boo , istory of nimals (333 . .).
uine teeth differ from what we as humans have for dentition. orses have what are called hypsodont teeth and humans have what are classi ed as brachyodont teeth. few dentistry modalities can be ta en from human dentistry, but most have little direct application to the hypsodont dentition of the horse. ypsodont teeth are also called high-crowned and have many fold-li e creases of enamel. hey have a different structure than human teeth, and continue to grow and wear throughout the horse s lifetime. ome e amples of animals with hypsodont dentition are cows, horses and deer all ani-

mals that feed on gritty, brous material. orse s teeth can continue growing until they are up to 28 years of age.
orses can have a total of 36 to 44 teeth. his depends on age, se , and presence of rudimentary teeth li e wolf teeth . hey usually have 12 incisors, 4 canine or bridle teeth (in geldings and studs), 0-4 wolf teeth, and 24 premolars and molars. he incisors are the teeth used most commonly in which age is determined by observing when adult teeth erupt and wear patterns.
ental disease can present due to many causes. ome symptoms of e uine dental disease are abnormal eating behavior li e head tilt, uidding (dropping balls of feed), slobbering and e cess salivation. ometimes you may notice discharge or foul odor from their mouth. efusal to eat or selective eating, combined with chronic weight loss can be noted. ome horses with poor teeth can have long hay particles in their feces which may predispose them to conditions li e colic. ou may also notice problems with training li e head shaking, resisting turns, resisting bridling, mouthing or chewing the bit. Facial or jaw swelling can also be an early indicator of root infections or abnormal dentition.
he most common routine procedure we perform is called a oat . loating teeth is done by reducing the sharp enamel edges on the molars which may develop. he upper rows of chee teeth in the horse are wider apart than the lower rows. herefore sharp enamel points develop usually against the chee on the upper teeth and against the tongue on the lowers. n fact the word oat is derived from a atin word meaning bevel . herefore, we are beveling the edges of the molars to ma e the horse more comfortable and help balance wear that will occur in the future.
ther procedures we perform routinely are incisor reduction and alignment, rounding canine teeth, hoo and ramp reductions, step mouth and wave mouth reductions, chee tooth e traction, and bit seats. e routinely do dental procedures on young horses before training which includes e traction of wolf teeth, e traction of loose caps (baby pre-molars), and performance oats. his ensures no bad habits will develop during training due to oral pain.
uge advances in e uine dental science have been made in the last 20 years. here have been more rigorous scienti c studies done in the last 10 years than the last 100 years. t is a very e citing time to be an e uine dentist now days.
commonly as ed uestion is, ow often do need to get my horses teeth done or e amined his is very simple and depends on the degree or level of performance of your e uine. f they are a pasture pet or brood mare you may want to have them e amined once to determine if they have any major problems, and after that only as they show signs of dental disease or become elderly should they be e amined and treated. igh level performance horses whose livelihood depends on ero ris of dental disease will probably need chec ups and oats every si months. oderate wor type horses probably get away with a routine oat every two years. uines with problems identi ed early, sometimes need dental wor done every si months to one year.
ou may wonder why your horse needs so much intervention when a wild horse needs little or no attention. orses in the wild gra e predominantly on grass which is high in silica and acts to wear the animal’s teeth in a normal way. Their head is always down in the natural gra ing position and they gra e for 18 hours a day. n a stable they are sometimes fed two meals, morning and night, consisting of a dense caloric ration which contains a number of other feedstuffs. ur domesticated horses also have bridles, halters, and bits to contend with, that come into contact with the soft tissue around ra or sharp enamel points. n the wild the horses with developmental dental disease probably succumb to other ature at an early age.
here are preventative measures you can ta e to eep your horse from developing dental disease. irst, feed your horse on the ground when possible. his is the normal graing position of the animal and will help prevent abnormal wear. hen possible, feeding should be spread out to get your horse foraging for as much time as his diet permits. ave your horse s mouth e amined for major problems early, for e ample before training to ensure they do not have a problem that may be corrected early. outine oats and dental wor can also add years to your horse s life. ore comple diagnostics are also available at your veterinarian. ental -rays ( radiology), endoscopy, and even can be performed. omple procedures li e e tractions that involve the head, sinus, and other intricate structures are also performed in a veterinary setting by octors highly trained in e uine dentistry. e also have e tensive nowledge of many types of anesthesia which ma es dental procedures painless and safe for your horse. hether you need a performance dental oat to increase your e uine athletes comfort and success, or a major procedure to , we are here at the awson ree eterinary linic to help you with all your uine entistry needs

Keeping Treated Seed Out of Grain Deliveries
Treated seed residues can present a serious ris to human and animal health at certain levels, so grain elevators must maintain a ero tolerance for treated seed in grain deliveries. ealth anada has set ma imum residue limits for many chemicals in grain, including those used to treat seed. ny grain that e ceeds these limits may need to be condemned and destroyed.
PREVENT TREATED SEED CONTAMINATION

Fines for Illegal Slaughter and Uninspected Meat
In response to the increase of illegal slaughter and sale of uninspected meat, Alberta’s government is increasing penalties to protect
The sale of uninspected meat is illegal in Alberta. Illegal slaughter and food safety non-compliance poses a risk to human and animal health and could harm Alberta’s entire livestock and meat processing industry. If passed, the eat nspection mendment ct would increase nes from a ma imum of 10,000 to 100,000 for each offence.
lberta s government is proposing to increase these nes to ensure there is a signi cant deterrent, so offenders are motivated to comply with the eat nspection Act. The proposed changes would support food safety for Albertans without increasing consumer costs for inspected meat or operating costs for industry. The changes propose increased nes for those who commit an offence under the eat nspection Act and would bring Alberta in line with other jurisdictions.
e are ta ing action to maintain public con dence in our food system. strongly encourage all Albertans to buy their meat from licensed operators and retailers, and while buying meat, ask your retailer where the meat comes from and if it’s inspected.” RJ Sigurdson, Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation
n addition to increasing nes, amendments would e tend the amount of time to investigate and lay charges for the illegal slaughter and sale of uninspected meat. urrently, the act allows inspectors one year after the offence to investigate allegations of illegal slaughter or sale of uninspected meat. If passed, the investigation timeframe for a complex case would be extended to two years from the date the offence came to the attention of an inspector.
“Food safety is something that most Albertans take for granted because Alberta has some of the best people in our province and country looking out for our health.
Both the federal and provincial regulatory bodies truly have the best interests of all Albertans in mind when they go out each day to do their jobs. That is the reason why changes are needed and made, to improve overall food safety and strengthen our provincial acts and regulations, to protect the health and safety of all Albertans.”
Mike Bouma, general manager, Family Meats
s a meat safety and uality researcher, applaud the lberta government for their proposed amendments to the Meat Inspection Act. The substantial increase in penalties for contravention of the Meat Inspection Act will help to ensure that the meat that is available to consumers is safe for consumption.” Lynn McMullen, Professor Emeritus, University of Alberta Quick Facts
• The sale of uninspected meat is illegal in Alberta.
• Any meat or meat product that is sold or distributed in Alberta must come from an inspected slaughter facility (abattoir) or processing facility.
• Alberta government meat inspectors are on site in provincially licensed abattoirs to ensure the meat produced is safe for consumption.

Bourgault Introduces Huge Productivity Gain
Bourgault Industries is proud to announce the release of its latest innovation in customer productivity. At the Bourgault Seeds for Success product introduction in Phoenix, AZ dealers were introduced to the new 7-plex folding 3545 Paralink Hoe Drill™. This new family of products from Bourgault comes in common widths from 80 to 100’ and folds conventionally into an ultra-narrow transport envelope. The 3545 is unique as it combines optimized transport dimensions, without sacri cing options, productivity, application rates, otation, or trash ow. This is Capacity without Complexity.
“When we decided to design the new 100’, we knew the demand for a 100’ was still there, and for that matter the demand is only going to grow, especially with the improvements we introduced. There are customers that are currently expanding their farm size, and that is not an easy task. If they get enough acres that warrants a second drill, or maybe a third drill, now you are talking about another tractor, another operator, and of course you have to pay for, maintain, store and depreciate all this extra equipment. We had producer cooperators that were hitting 56 acres per hour productivity including their ll times last pring. ommented urtis inrichsen, Territory Manager with Bourgault.
“One important area of customer concern was that to go to a larger drill to gain that productivity was that they would sacri ce transport dimensions and having room to get this drill down the road. ourgault offers 2 models an 84’ 7-plex, and a 100’ 7-plex. The 84’ comes in a transport dimension that’s a similar size as our 66’ 3335. The 100’ 3545 7-plex is very close to our most popular si e 76 333 .
Expect the highest degree of durability with a robust frame construction that is built now to achieve even better inter ran trash ow. he ourgault eam also ensured this drill unfolds simply and quickly like every other conventional drill on the market, making transitions from the road to the eld with ease.
One of the key features that went into the design of this unit was to have the ability to recon gure the si e of the 100’ 3545 unit for the total life cycle of this product. When dealers take this drill on trade, they have
the ability to remove the outer wing sections, which allows this drill to be sold as an 80’ drill. That’s within 4’ of the size of the drill that most dealers sell almost 50%+ of the time. On the used side that opens up the size of the market. Dealers can then resell the drill as a 5-plex 80’ which is starting to become the width preference in most areas for PHD units.
A key customer concern by producers was that they wouldn’t have the HP to pull the new 100’ 3545 even though they all want to do more acres per day. “Bourgault has designed this unit to be as easy to pull as you possibly can for a 100’ drill. The new larger high oat main frame tires have an ama ing amount of otation. ith 900 6 32 s on the main frame, and 600 0 22 on the wings the 3 4 will stay on top the ground. ays arren ec er lead engineer on the 3 4 project. ot only is the performance and otation
in the eld e ceptional but the ability for this unit to road long distances is unmatched for the si e.
This newest family of PHDs from Bourgault are available with all the same exceptional options that producers have come to expect from the manufacturer. Single-shoot, Double-shoot, and TriMax™ congurations are available on all units as well as id ow anders and 10 or 12 row spacings. inally an updated and streamlined air kit ensures that those high rates of product per acre that our customers demand are met at operating speeds.
This is Capacity without Complexity. The 3545 7-Plex PHD will be available for order on Bourgault’s upcoming model year 2026 release.

When the lean and twist are mostly lost, it is a clear sign that the tines have worn down, even if the length is still slightly above six inches.
5. Replace Worn Tines: If your tines are under six inches or their lean and twist have diminished, it is time to replace them. Replacing them at the right time ensures that your er ay continues to function efficiently, ma imi ing soil fracture and lift.
Tips and Troubleshooting:
• Always replace all tines on a single drum to ensure balanced performance. egularly inspect your tines if you fre uently switch between different soil types.
• Inspect the clamping rings and other mounting hardware for wear during the replacement process.
egularly clean and inspect your tines to minimi e soil build-up, which can accelerate wear.
• If you often work in sandy or dry conditions, consider more frequent inspections to catch wear early.
• Consult the Operator’s manual, if you don’t have the manual on hand, you can easily download it by clicking the link here.
COMMON ISSUES WITH
WORN
TINES:
• Problem: ou notice your er ay is not aerating as effectively.
• Solution: This is often caused by worn tines. Replace them if they are six inches or less in length or if the twist and lean are no longer present. Properly maintaining your AerWay ShatterTines ensures they provide optimal soil aeration and last as long as possible. By regularly checking the length, lean, and twist of your tines, you can replace them at the right time for the best results.
