Hundreds still stranded in rural areas MIKE CARTER Staff Writer While the worst is over for residents in Chetwynd and Dawson Creek, many living in rural areas across Northeast B.C. are still stranded in their homes, cut off from the rest of the region by washed-out roads caused by flooding.

Peace River Regional District staff spent the weekend flying supplies by helicopter to Hasler Flats, Moberly Lake and Willow Flats near Chetwynd—as well as Tupper and Tomslake near Dawson Creek.

“We flew in fuel and propane,” said Fran Haughian, a spokesperson for the regional district.

“We’re planning on taking more supplies out as they need them.”

Over the weekend, water had receded back to near-normal levels in Chetwynd. All flood advisories had been cancelled, except for the Moberly River.

Regional District staff drove to homes in the Moberly Lake area over the weekend to check on situations there.

“Some people have damage,” Haughian said.

As of June 20, northern B.C. remained cut off from the south— except via Alberta’s Highway 40— as large sections of Highway 97 were washed away.

Sections of the Tumbler Ridge

Highway, Highway 52, were also washed out in several areas.

Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone said crews were working “night and day” to restore the main connection south in time for the tourist season.

Overall, six numbered highways and 38 side roads were affected by washouts, according to the ministry.

It’s not only B.C.residents who rely on the road. Many Americans drive the Alaska Highway from Dawson Creek to Fairbanks also travel north via Highway 97 through Chetwynd.

Over 150 pieces of equipment are at work this week repairing the damage, Stone said. Highway 97 was expected to open to single lane traffic by the end of the week.

Damage still being tallied in Chetwynd There are no firm estimates as to how much damage was done.

But for the Peace Christian School, a private school in the rural hamlet of Dokie Siding west of Chetwynd, the damage could search have been much

worse if not for the rapid response of heavy equipment owned by friends of the school.

“Our board chair is a road maintenance contractor,” principal Darren Shankel said.

“I had a river running right at the school at one point” Damage to the school was minimal, with only a bit of mud and water coming through the front doors.

Parents and students worked through the weekend to get the school grounds back in order so that it could reopen this week.

OIl and gas infrastructure west of Chetwynd also took a hit with the flooding.

Several of Spectra Energy’s nature gas pipelines were exposed in washouts, causing the company to suspend operations at the Pine River Gas Plant.

As of Monday, the plant remained closed. Also as of Monday, CN Rail’s mainline between Prince George and Fort St. John remained closed. The company says it does not know when the lines will be repaired. dcreporter@dcdn.ca

Farmer not optimistic about insurance for crop damage JONNY WAKEFIELD Staff Writer

200 acres of Ray Piper’s crops flooded during rainstorms last week. He said crop insurance typically doesn’t come close to covering his losses. JONNY WAKEFIELD PhOtO

Ray Piper has been farming for more than 30 years, and has seen his share of floods.

He’s also made his share of crop insurance claims, a process he’s not optimistic about after last week’s deluge.

“History has a way of repeating itself,” Piper said in an interview with media at his washed out canola field north of Dawson Creek June 17.

Piper grows canola, wheat, barley and fescue on around 3,500 acres that have been in his family for 100 years.

Flood waters washed away at least one of his fields along 219 Road, which he said does not properly drain due to design issues.

He lost around $100,000 in crops during the 2011 floods, and said he received little crop insurance.

This time, he expects his losses will be higher.

“The rain started and within about a day it started to flood in this valley. There’s a delayed reaction, but when the water comes, she comes hard.”

He said his biggest concern is the 219 Road, which he said prevented 200 acres of canola from draining.

“I won’t go broke farming, but it hurts a lot,” he said of the crop losses.

“It’s really frustrating. You put your crop in and do your best, then the government builds a dam, essentially, is what it is.”

He said crop insurance pays on a farm-wide basis, instead of field by field, which means his claims typically don’t pay out.

According to the ministry of agriculture, around $1.7 million in crop indemnities were paid out after the 2011 flood. reporter@dcdn.ca

‘We have to adapt’: Christy Clark links floods to climate change

JONNY WAKEFIELD Staff Writer

The federal government must be more generous with disaster relief as climate change-linked floods and fires pound communities across B.C., Premier Christy Clark said on a tour of washed out bridges and flooded basements in Dawson Creek Sunday.

“When I was up in the Peace two months ago, the place was on fire,” she said.

“And now it’s under water. Really, we have to, across Canada, get used to the fact that weather events are getting more extreme. Climate change is having a big impact.

The premier toured three damaged roads and a flooded home on a brief visit

to Dawson Creek June 19.

She said B.C. has earmarked around $65 million in flood mitigation funding this year, but said the previous federal government’s changes to eligibility for disaster assistance should be reversed.

“The previous federal government raised the threshold for eligibility, they reduced the amount of money available overall,” she said. “They need to fix both of those things.”

She said more focus should be placed on mitigating flooding.

“What I would argue is we need more money before the floods and before the fires happen so that the clean up and the impact is lessened.”

“From the federal government’s perspective, it’s a big economic question.

When a road goes out, the economy stops.” reporter@dcdn.ca

Program enables British Columbia food processors to thrive British Columbia’s entrepreneurs in the foodprocessing sector have an exciting opportunity to receive tools and expertise, enabling them to innovate and capitalize on emerging markets with the new BC FoodWorks Program, funded by Growing Forward 2 (GF2).

The BC FoodWorks Program is investing up to $400,000 into the province’s agrifood industry. The program is designed to provide guidance to British Columbia’s new and rapidly growing group of entrepreneurs seeking to commercialize innovative food and naturalhealth products. These efforts will lead to the creation of new jobs, while strengthening agrifoods business networks and promoting the growth of the B.C. food processing sector.

Entrepreneurs participating in the program will receive support through customized workshops as well as one-on-one coaching and mentoring from a network of seasoned professionals in the food processing industry who can assist in helping processing ventures and overcoming identified challenges. The program focuses on empowering new or early-stage B.C. agrifood processing companies that have high-potential growth and are seeking to grow their market presence.

The BC FoodWorks program provides food processors with business advisory services and structured training that can help businesses succeed in domestic, national and international markets.

The program funding is provided under GF2 through the Provincially Significant Projects Program – Innovation Program. GF2 is a five-year agreement, launched in 2013, that provides a $3-billion, federal-provincial-territorial government investment in innovation, competitiveness and market development.

Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food says with BC’s goal of making the agri-food sector a leader in innovation and job creation, the Government of Canada is thrilled to support startup and upand-coming agri-food businesses in British Columbia.

“By helping entrepreneurs produce and market their innovative food products, we are helping to ensure a prosperous future for all Canadians.”

Norm Letnick, B.C. Agriculture Minister says the program supports.

“By offering them guidance and opportunities to succeed in a very competitive market. The future of agrifoods is bright and with BC FoodWorks, the industry here in B.C. can continue to thrive.”

AgCoalition hosting meetings aimed at strengthening producer voice The AgCoalition will host three meetings across Alberta this month to engage farmers, ranchers and their employees on farm and ranch safety-related subject matter. The meetings are intended to gather input and strengthen the producer voice in preparation for the Government of Alberta’s consultation sessions.

The AgCoalition’s producer representation, known as the Industry Leadership Advisory Committee (ILAC), will host the meetings. ILAC representatives will invite producer peers and their employees to join them as meeting participants.

Agriculture groups external to the AgCoalition will also be invited to send farmer and rancher representatives to further broaden industry consultation.

“This legislation will have its greatest effect on farmers, ranchers and their employees,” said Page Stuart, AgCoalition Co-Chair. “Our intent is to ensure that this community has an opportunity to be part of the process and support our industry’s representation at the consultation tables.”

Meeting participants will collaboratively determine priority issues for each topic and will develop consensus-based positions that will work best for farmers, ranchers and their employees. Input garnered from the meetings will in-turn be communicated to producer nominees participating in the government consultation sessions. Where required, the meetings will follow the same format as the consultation sessions with one working

table per topic.

“We look forward to working together as a sector to develop key positions to ensure our consultation nominees are fully equipped to represent their industry,” said Kent Erickson, AgCoalition Co-Chair.

Meetings took place in Lethbridge on June 22nd, Leduc on June 27th and Grande Prairie on June 30th. An independent third party will facilitate the meet-

ings. The AgCoalition will compile the producer input to develop briefing notes for producer nominees at the Governments consultation sessions.

The AgCoalition was established on January 22nd, 2016 with a mandate to unify the farm and ranch community in an effort to foster a culture of farm safety in Alberta.

The AgCoalition was established earlier this year.

Working group assesses farmer preparedness to meet standards

Making the Grade returns for a second year Alberta Barley, Alberta Canola Producers Commission (ACPC), Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC) and Alberta Pulse Growers (APG) once again invite producers to a grading workshop following last year’s successful event.

This year’s Making the Grade workshop will take place July 26 at Lakeland College in Vermilion and will include sessions from experienced industry speakers on barley, wheat, canola and, new for this year, pulse grading.

“Last year’s Making the Grade proved to be a valuable tool in addressing knowledge gaps in grain grading,” said Terry Young, AWC and ACPC director and member of the Western Grain Standards Committee’s wheat subcommittee. “Understanding grain grading and factors affecting quality is important for all crop producers as it affects their bottom line.”

Producers will participate in hands-on grading workshops for barley, canola, wheat and pulses. Speakers representing organizations such as the Canadian Grains Commission (CGC) and the Canadian International Grains Institute (Cigi) will guide participants through the details of grading parameters and practices.

Complete registration information and details are available on each host commission’s website or at www. making-the-grade-2016.eventbrite.ca.

A group in Alberta is hoping to determine how prepared farmers are to meet internationally recognized sustainability standards.

“The Alberta Farm Sustainability Extension Working Group is a very new project, and its continuing on the work from the Alberta Crops Sustainability Certification Pilot project that was completed in the spring of 2015,” says Jolene Noble, AFSE extension coordinator.

“And our Working Group is comprised of Alberta Pulse, Alberta Wheat, Alberta Barley and Alberta Canola.”

Last year’s pilot was a survey that went out to directors on the four commissions.

Though it wasn’t a representative sample, it paved the way for this year’s survey, which, Noble says, will assess grower readiness to meet sustainability standards in the future.

“The survey will be coming out in the latter part of June and it will take approximately 25 minutes for growers to go through. Of course the majority will centre around environmental questions — everything from waste disposal to soil health to crop inputs — but there will also be some things on the social and economic side of things.”

AFSE has hired Ipsos Reid to help develop and conduct the survey, and expects the final report by this fall.

“Our project moving forward after the survey will be looking at areas that producers did really well in, but also areas where we have opportunity for improvement,” says Noble, adding that the focus is to increase awareness of sustainability standards and preparing to meet them.

The entire project is set to conclude in the first quarter of 2018.

Temple Grandin urges better communication with consumers about cattle handling Animal-behaviour expert Temple Grandin says cattle handling has improved and that message needs to be better shared with consumers.

Grandin told the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association’s annual meeting that it makes her angry when people don’t know anything “about a lot of the good stuff we’re doing.”

“I’ve worked all my life to improve slaughter plants,” she said Monday after her speech.

“The ‘80s and the ‘90s were horrible. It was horrible back in the bad old days, absolutely horrible, and now things are so much better. People don’t know

about it.”

Grandin, a professor of animal science at Colorado State University, specializes in calm, lowstress environments. She teaches courses on animal behaviour and consults with the livestock industry on facility design, livestock handling and animal welfare.

Grandin wouldn’t talk specifically about standards in Canada, but she noted that there is a code of practice which she calls “a baseline standard” for producers to follow.

Standards need to be clear and measurable, she said.

“We’ve got to get away from all the vague wording like ‘adequate

space, handle them properly, just keep cattle clean.’ I don’t know what that means.”

Standards for treating cattle came under the spotlight in April when the Earls restaurant chain said it would only serve “certified humane” beef from U.S.-based slaughterhouses designed by Grandin.

There is no equivalent certification in Canada.

But the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association says most beef producers have adopted the National Farm Animal Care Council code of practice as the minimum acceptable standard.

Earls backtracked after facing

a social media storm, but a past president of the association said industry needs to be more proactive as well.

“We can ... say we made a mistake too by not doing as good a job as we should have of talking about our humane animal handling ... and our code of practice and our standards that are world class, so we’ve got work to do,” said Dave Solverson, who also spoke to the stock growers meeting.

The Canadian system isn’t “certified humane,” but standards “are similar or even exceed the requirements for American certified humane,” Solverson said.

The beef code of practice is being integrated into the verified beef production-plus program, which records producer practices in animal care and welfare, sustainability and environment.

Solverson hopes that will “fill the gap” for markets that require verification and audits.

“Even though our producers are doing the things and we have the code of practice ... a lot of the retailers and food service people are trying to differentiate from others and they want their verification.”

That day is March 21, 2017.

“We all eat food yet many people don’t automatically

make the connection between what’s on their plate and the commitment and care that goes into raising livestock, growing crops or processing food,” said

In the 1930s, more than 90 per cent of Canadians had a connection to agriculture. Today, it’s less than three per cent, according to Statistics Canada census information.

“Every link in the food production chain – from the farm to the grocery store and restaurant – plays a vital role in bringing food to your table every day,” said Mackay, whose group organized the summit.

“Canada’s Agriculture Day is an opportunity to get involved, celebrate and be a part of the conversation about food and farming.”

Candace Hill, manager of Agriculture More Than Ever, said Canada’s Agriculture Day complements the industry-led initiative that has attracted over 470 partner organizations and 2,100 individuals committed to creating positive

perceptions of agriculture.

Launched more than four years ago, Agriculture More Than Ever’s goal is to encourage those involved in agriculture to speak up and speak positively about the industry.

“It’s all about showing our love, pride and passion for an industry that puts food on our tables,” Hill said.

“We want to give everyone the opportunity to have a voice in the conversation and celebrate the industry that feeds the world.”

Hill encourages the industry, organizations and individuals to mark the date on calendars and come up with their own ideas and activities to promote and celebrate Canadian agriculture.

Drug reactions in cattle and horses; have your emergency kit ready

by Dr. Mike Ross Imagine you are in this situation. Its branding time, you and your crew are processing your calves. Following your herd health immunization recommendations from your veterinarian you administer a vaccination to a calf carefully and correctly. Moments later you notice it start to stagger, breath heavily, and collapse. What you do in the next moments could save your animals life.

Some of you may recognize that this is a type of “reaction” to the medication. I am going to describe what happens with these type of reactions and what to do to treat them in an emergency.

What happened to this calf is called an anaphylactic reaction or anaphylaxis. What this is an allergic reaction to the medication which mostly results in shock and pulmonary edema. Shock is a term which means circulatory inadequacy. During shock the peripheral blood vessels dilate pooling blood, heart rate and blood pressure decrease, and airways in the lungs close down. This all leads to oxygen deprivation and circulatory inefficiency.

Pulmonary edema happens when fluid accumulates in the lung. Edema in the throat region can also restrict

breathing. All these things can happen very fast and can lead to death.

The primary symptom is acute respiratory distress.

In other words very quickly after administration of the medication they have a hard time breathing. They may also have pale or blue lips, gums and bloodshot whites of eyes.

Epinephrine or adrenalin is the initial treatment of choice. It acts by reversing the effects of the anaphylaxis.

It dilates airways, contracts blood vessels, increases heart rate and blood pressure. It can be given intramuscularly so administration is easy. Once given to the animal keep it calm, quiet, and cool. Any increased stress at this point could cause collapse and death.

Occasionally there is pharyngeal and laryngeal edema (in the throat) which may require anti-inflammatory treatment with a NSAID like Metacam, or a corticosteroid like Dexamethasone. In extreme cases a tracheostomy is required.

Any medication given to your animals has the potential to cause anaphylaxis. Bacterial vaccines probably have the highest risk.

I recommend everyone who has livestock and immunizes them at home to have epinephrine handy and an emergency drug kit ready. It may save your animals life. So when you pick up vaccines or medications at the veterinary clinic don’t forget to stock up on epinephrine.

Rural residents in Tupper, Swan Lake stranded by flooding JONNY WAKEFIELD Staff Writer

Flooding has stranded at least a dozen people in rural communities southeast of Dawson Creek.

At least four bridges are washed out or destroyed in the Tupper, Tomslake, Gundy and Swan Lake area, leaving 36 properties stranded, according to the Peace River Regional District.

The rural area has been reeling from a storm that dumped more than 100 mm of rain on Peace Region communities in a span of 48 hours.

“We live right by the bridge and this is the worst flood we’ve ever seen,” said Gina Goad, who lives on Tupper River in Tomslake near the Alberta border. “This surpasses (the 2011 floods) easily.

There’s a substantial amount of damage on our prooperty.”

She knew of five homes that were still cut off by flood waters Friday afternoon.

“We can’t leave right now,” she said.

PRRD officials surveyed the area by helicopter June 16, assessing the damage in Rolla, Doe River, Tupper, Tate Creek, Swan Lake and Kelly Lake. Several creeks in the area were “flowing overland,” according to a release. At least 20 residences in the Hasler Flats area west of Chetwynd were also cut off.

“We are assessing whether there are any residents who are stranded due to access issues – we believe there to be at least 36 civic addresses at this time,” officials said in a release. “There are a number of properties who have sustained flood damage.”

Dawson Creek moves past flooding and into recovery City stakeholders, businesses, and the community-minded are moving past the flood waters and now work towards dealing with the fallout – be those washed out transportation routes, homes, or any other collateral damage from the last 48 hours of flooding.

Lt. Ian Rabourn said the Dawson Creek Salvation Army is in the midst of putting together a plan with the city and fire department for people displaced from homes.

“We are currently working through the coordination of the flood situation with city and fire departments on how to set up further recovery into the mix.

We’re in the midst of hammering out some specifics today,” said Rabourn

“We are in the midst of figuring out what the fallout looks like, getting initial victims into hotels and now asking bigger questions after initial recovery and clean up. When people can’t go back to their home or are without all of their belongings, there is still lots of work to be done.”

Dawson Creek Wal-Mart manager Aisan Khan said his parking lot – a traditional stop for RVs and campers, was quite a bit fuller with displaced campers from both Chetwynd and surrounding DC areas.

“We encourage campers to take advantage of our lot and free parking situation,” he said.

“We just had a few more units in the lot for a few days.”

Khan says the Wal-mart itself had to move quickly

during the flooding to deal with issues.

“We found ourselves without power. We have to rent some freezers for all of our frozen items. It is all going back into the store over the last day,” he said Friday.

Trudy and Steve Collicot from Alberta says they were simply playing it safe by rolling into the Walmart parking lot.

“We had come to town and heard about a couple places already flooded and then simply looked for the Wal-Mart lot. Luckily it wasn’t underwater too,” Collicot noted. editor@dcdn.ca

Grain handler Richardson creating new $15M research farm

A 180-hectare demo farm is being created.

Grain-handling giant Richardson International has announced plans to create a $15-million research farm in Saskatchewan.

It says Bennett Farm will help put the latest seed varieties, crop input products and equipment to the test in real growing conditions.

The 180-hectare demonstration farm and training centre is to be located in Richardson, outside of Regina.

The Winnipeg-based Richardson has operated Kelburn Farm, a 200-hectare research farm just south of Winnipeg, since 1997.

The company says the Saskatchewan research farm will allow it to gather more accurate information on how crops and products perform in different growing environments.

Initial site work began last fall and the first crop was planted this spring.

“Bennett Farm will be much more than a research facility,” said Richardson president and CEO Curt Vossen.

“We are committed to making a significant investment in the province of Saskatchewan and creating a prominent education and training centre for students of all ages.” sustainability production practices in Alberta.

Earls restaurant chain says Canadian beef is back in its Alberta and Saskatchewan outlets after an outcry from consumers.

The company said Thursday that it has supplier deals with Canadian ranchers who raise cattle without antibiotics, steroids, or added hormones and who are regularly audited for animal welfare. In April, Earls announced it would be sourcing all of its beef from a U.S. supplier that had a Certified Humane designation.

Earls says it now has supplier deals with King City, Ont.,-based Berretta Farms and Vegreville, Alta.,-based Spring Creek Ranch and continues to develop relationships with new suppliers.

Loss of Snake Pit Road, Pine Pass was blow to trucking Two local business associations say to expect shipping delays and heavier truck traffic through Dawson Creek after flooding wiped out roads and railways in the Pine Pass and a crucial bypass route east of the city.

Flooding after heavy rainfall that began June 15 has hobbled the regional highway system, cutting off the route between Prince George and the Peace Region—forcing day-long detours though Alberta.

Flooding also destroyed a bypass east of Dawson Creek known locally as Snake Pit Road. The winding, hilly two-lane stretch is notorious with truckers and is part of the city’s dangerous goods bypass.

Now, that traffic will be forced to travel through Dawson Creek.

Kathleen Connolly, director of the Dawson Creek Chamber of Commerce, said the loss of both routes is already having an impact.

“It’s going to have a huge impact, because how do you get all that heavy equipment through here onto the Dangerous Goods (Route)?” said Connolly, referring to the bypass road for truckers hauling oversize loads or hazardous substances.

She added that at least one local grocer’s produce section has been impacted by the Pine Pass damage.

Gary McLeod of the Northern B.C. Truckers Association said there is one bright spot in the loss of the Snake Pit Road.

“You’re going to see more traffic having to come through town now,” he said. “On the plus side, they were looking on straightening that road out and doing something with it to make it more driver friendly.

There’s a good chance they’ll be able to do something with it now.”

He said the local oil and gas industry—a heavy user of the road—will be Bull forced to adapt in the days 3rd Annual Sale after the disaster.

The total number of roadside sites needing repair was 186, all in the South Peace.

Although a number of roads are reopening “there is much work to be done to restore them to pre-flood conditions,” the ministry said. “Crews are assessing damage to bridges and roads and will be doing the work necessary to reinforce them for the long-term against another event of this nature.”

Extending rail provisions maintains an important tool tenance of the extended interswitching limits of 160 kilometers. Interswitching is a tool that allows the shipper to effectively choose their rail carrier despite having physical access to one. This provides an element of competition between major railways, and has emerged as an effective tool in establishing more competitive rates and service levels.

“With 90% of Canadian canola exported internationally, there’s no question that growers rely on rail transportation to get their grain to market,” says Halstead. “Extending these provisions means farmers will continue to have competitive options, and we thank the government for listening to farmers’ concerns.”

In addition to supporting service levels, the extension provides more time to fully assess the recommendations presented in the report from the Canada Transportation Act Review Panel. A more long-term or permanent solution is expected to be tabled for consideration by Dugout/Lake Compressors the Government prior to August 1, 2017.

Canola farmers are pleased that the Government of Canada has approved a one-year extension of Canada Transportation Act provisions that were enacted in 2014 by Bill C-30, the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act. The announcement of the extension was made by the Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport, and the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, shortly after being approved by the House of Commons and the Senate.

“For many months, canola farmers have been talking about the importance of these provisions and asking for them to be extended,” says Brett Halstead, President of the Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA). “We are pleased that the provisions will be maintained while the industry continues to work with government on building a long-term plan for efficiently shipping our production by rail.”

Of particular importance is the main-

ahead,” says Steve Pratte, Policy Manager at CCGA. “We want to ensure that the farmer voice continues to be present during decision-making, with the goal being to rebalance the shipper-railway relationship on a long-term basis.”

To spray or not to spray fungicide, that is the question As the cereal crop’s flag leaf stage approaches, many producers are wondering if a foliar fungicide application is worth their time and money.

“Most farmers want to know if they will get a yield and economic benefit from a foliar fungicide application,” says Dr. Sheri Strydhorst, agronomy research scientist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Barrhead. “Fungicide applications can be costly but, under the right conditions, can increase yields more than 30 per cent.”

Strydhorst is leading a province wideresearch project to help producers make fungicide management decisions. She says that, based on field research data from 2014 and 2015, they have come up with some helpful findings. “Our 10 site years of data show that a foliar fungicide application on AC Foremost wheat significantly increases yields when there has been at least five inches of rain from the time of seeding to end of June.”

However, she cautions, it might not be that simple.

“For foliar diseases to infect crops and cause yield reductions, we need three things. First, we need a susceptible host.

Second, we need the pathogen. Third, we need environmental conditions suitable for disease development.

“Our detailed foliar fungicide work was done with AC Foremost. It is an old cultivar that does not have the best genetic resistance to foliar diseases. Without the genetic resistance, this cultivar needs ex-

tra help to battle disease pressure.”

However, not everyone is growing AC Foremost. In another study, Strydhorst found that Stettler wheat showed a yield increase with dual foliar fungicide applications in only one of nine site years; AC Foremost in seven of nine site years and AAC Penhold in four of nine site years.

“Some cultivars are responding to fungicide applications while others are not.”

This certainly complicates the decision making process, she says. “Producers should check disease resistance ratings on the cultivar they are growing. For example, AC Foremost is rated as susceptible to stripe rust and moderately susceptible to leaf spot while AAC Penhold is rated as moderately resistant to stripe rust and intermediate to leaf spot.”

Dr. Kelly Turkington, research scientist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lacombe, says that, “in a continuous wheat rotation, residue-borne diseases such as tan spot and septoria are likely present, so it is reasonable to expect a fungicide response with a susceptible cultivar the majority of the time, especially when the weather is favourable.”

Strydhorst’s research found yield increases with AC Foremost in response to fungicide applications when there was 1.9” of rain from seeding until the end of June.

In this instance, winter wheat fields in the area were showing high levels of stripe rust. She says that with high levels of dis-

Fungicides can contribute to yield increases.

ease in the environment, fungicides can contribute to yield increases.

Turkington says each disease has specific conditions that favour development.

“Stripe rust does not necessarily need a lot of moisture. Heavy dew can be enough to promote stripe rust. More rainfall facilitates inoculum production, dispersal (in the case of rain splashed pathogens) and host infection.”

With the timely and frequent rainfall seen in much of the province, Strydhhorst suggests environmental conditions are right for tan spot and septoria pathogen growth.

“Our research shows that the more rain we have had, the bigger the yield benefit from the fungicide. For example, with 10” of rain from seeding until the end of June we observed a 26 bu/ac yield increase. But

CARGILL AG Photo

with 7” of rain the yield increase was reduced to 20 bu/ac. We still have one more year of research to conduct, but our initial findings suggest that more frequent and timely rains lead to bigger benefits from fungicide applications.”

Turkington says stripe rust is a different pathogen and warm days with heavy dew resulting in several hours of leaf wetness per day can provide suitable environmental conditions for disease development in June. “However, rainfall and/or heavy dew in July can contribute to stripe rust development including on the head and peduncle also contributing to yield reductions.”

While Strydhorst’s research aims to simplify decision making, she says, as we all know, nothing is ever simple.

Verified Beef Production Plus Program The new Verified Beef Production Plus (VBP+) program has been officially launched.

The new, national VBP+ program includes training and auditing for animal care, biosecurity and environmental stewardship along with on-farm food safety practices within the cow-calf and feedlot sectors.

Through validating sustainable practices at the primary production level, VBP+ enables producers to publicly demonstrate their commitment to responsible stewardship of both cattle and resources.

The level of transparency VBP+

offers on a range of key production practices provides retailers and consumers with the knowledge that the beef they purchase is from a healthy animal raised with appropriate oversight and care on the farm, ranch or feedlot. These essential attributes are applicable throughout the beef production supply chain.

VBP+ is an expansion of the former Verified Beef Production onfarm food safety program. Work began in late 2013 to expand the program to include production practices validation in all areas of the beef production supply chain. National deliv-

ery and oversight of VBP+ maintains a conformance system and streamlines delivery of information, training, online tools and resources. Like the initial program, VBP+ remains voluntary and industry-led.

The VBP+ program has demonstrable and credible threshold levels producers must achieve to become, and maintain, registered status on the program. This progressive, audited program promotes continual improvements at the beef farm, ranch and feedlot level.

When it comes to turning cows onto pastures that contain a mixture of legumes and grasses, there is always a risk of bloat.

“There needs to be a bit of planning before cows are actually turned out into these mixed pastures,” says Barry Yaremcio, beef/forage specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Stettler.

“Feed the cows a mixture of alfalfa and grass hay for three or four days beforehand so the bacteria in the rumen adjusts to the alfalfa in the ration. This way, when you turn the animals out into the pasture, there’s

not that big a change in their diet.”

There are also a couple of products available that can help lower the risk of bloat.

“One is Bloat Guard, which is a powder mineral that can be put on pasture and that the cattle will eat free choice. There is also an additive for water called Alfasure you can get from a veterinarian that can work if the cows only drink out of a tank that contains the Alfasure.”

Yaremcio suggests turning cattle out in mid-afternoon when they are full. “The biggest meal of the day is first thing in the morning. Wet

plants, especially alfalfa, increase the risk of bloat. If you turn the cows out at 2 p.m., they will have a smaller meal and the plants are drier.”

When cows do get a sore stomach, they look for something to reduce the discomfort. “You can put out a bale of straw in a round bale feeder and leave it. They will eat a pound or two and this will reduce the chances of them bloating.”

“You always have to be vigilant and watch the animals, to make sure you don’t run into a problem.”

Informative general session at beef producers semi-AGM ABP delegates, directors, staff members and a large audience of guests came together in Edmonton this week for a successful 42nd Semi-Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the organization.

The Semi-AGM comes near the end of a busy time for producers and not all of our delegates are able to attend it, but we did have a strong contingent of committed delegates who participated actively in discussions of ABP operations and plans for the coming year.

The delegates reviewed the strategic objectives that had been approved by the Board of Directors in the areas of Bill 6 regulations and standards, industry funding, crown land grazing dispositions, enhanced perceptions of Alberta Beef, added value from research programs, and improved policies and programs for managing impacts of wildlife on cattle producers. The delegates thought the objectives were ambitious and challenging, but were aligned well with industry priorities and certainly worth pursuing.

The two keynote speakers at the meeting provided excellent presentations that were well received by the delegates and guests. Dr. Sangita Sharma, of the University of Alberta, spoke about her work on nutrition for children, seniors, and disadvantage people.

She told the audience that her research is finding that many children are not meeting their basic requirements for es-

sential nutrients, all of which are found in abundance in meat. Dr. Tim McAllister, from the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre in Lethbridge, presented the findings from the first phase of his project assessing the environmental footprint of beef production.

His research indicates that our industry can produce the same quantity of beef as 30 years ago using 29 percent fewer cattle in the breeding herd, 27 percent fewer slaughter cattle, 24 percent less land, and with a 15 percent reduction in carbon

footprint.

Chief of Staff, Tony Clark, attended the In addition to the keynote speakers, the Semi-AGM banquet. delegates were engaged and informed by The Minister brought greetings from the National Check-off Agency, Canadian the government in a short presentation to Cattlemen’s Association, the Beef Cattle the delegates, and was able to stay at the Research Council, Canada Beef, and Can- banquet for several hours. We see our two fax. general meetings as important opportuniAlthough cattle prices have come far ties for our delegates to get together and off the record levels of a year ago, they are talk about our industry, the perspectives still higher than they have been for most of grassroots producers, and the work that of the last decade.

Poor cell reception could impact land value: report Yield history, soil type, fertility, drainage, irrigation potential, and cropping options — those have traditionally been some of the main factors considered when assessing the value or rental rate for a parcel of farmland. But with telematics and data collection capabilities of farm equipment expanding rapidly, there’s another field characteristic that should probably be considered: wireless internet access.

“Farmers who expect to utilize telematics may not be willing to pay similar rental rates for farmland tracts without adequate wireless connectivity,” says a report published by Terry Griffin of Kansas State University and seven other U.S. agricultural academics in the 2016 Journal of American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers.

All else being equal, a piece of land with a good data connection will be (maybe already is) more valuable than a field in a location without internet access.

“Although the gaps in wireless broadband connectivity are likely to decline with technological improvements, it is expected that farmland values may be affected by connectivity lags until that time,” says the paper, which delves into some of the rural property value implications from the shift toward “big data” in agriculture.

Providing historical geospatial data and other grid map information, not just historical yield averages and soil test information, could be worth a premium in the short-term. In the longer term, the authors suggest there will be a penalty when land is sold without this data. A poor connection only makes it more difficult to accumulate this data.

It’s an interesting consideration, both from an individual farm business perspective and from a larger policy angle. Many farms already have cell-phone boosters on yards. Will we see increased investment in private infra-

structure to achieve the adequate wireless connectivity?

There’s been plenty of discussion about whether government or telecom companies have a public role in providing cell service in rural areas. Has the potential impact on property values been considered in these discussions?

Next time you’re looking at a new piece of land, it probably pays to not just use your phone to take photos

of how the water runs off the field or other physical attributes. The number of bars in the top right corner of the screen might be significant too.

The Cotillian Ladies Club was started in the fall of 1962

by Ruth Travis The Cotillion Ladies’ Club was started in the fall of 1962 or in early 1963 by Thelma Ferguson, Karen Marshall, Grace Diesel, Doris Clisby, Shirley Marches and Ruth Travis. A charter was made out with rules and regulations.

The original name was “Ladies’ Friendship Club” because, at the time, this neck of the woods was not named. We didn’t name the school district until later. The recreation association was formed on July 15, 1963, and was named Cotillion Butte Recreation Association. Then the school district became the Cotillion School District with the Ponderosa District just south of us.

I’m not sure when the Friendship Club changed its name. I believe it had something to do with the bank. They said if someone else decided to name their club by that same name it would be easy to make a mistake, so the name was changed to “The Cotillion Ladies’ Club.”

In the beginning we formed this club

to try to get a playground set up for our kids and to have one social afternoon a month so we wouldn’t get too bushed.

Cabin Fever was a real potential hazard in those days. There was no power, phones or T.V. and only battery radios, so those monthly get-togethers were really our only entertainment. Over the winter, we held card parties that went from house to house, weekly.

We’ve held raffles, baby showers, bridal showers, dances, Chinese Suppers, as well as catered to Mel Marshall’s rodeos and numerous weddings, over the years. We also have an annual Father’s Day picnic at the Cotillion Hall, a Christmas bingo and we have had a Horseride Poker Derby for the last two years. The club regularly donates to the heart fund, cancer fund, Salvation Army, Christmas fund and other worthy causes.

CLINTON McCOY REMEMBERS COTILLION (as told to Leslie and Jeanie Bouck)

Clinton, an old-timer living north of Bonanza, ran cattle in the early 50’s in what is now called Cotillion. A sizable herd of about eighty head were trailed north across the Teepee onto fresh pasture.

Water was found in the many sloughs that dotted the area. Salt Block Hill, a high knoll west of Elmer Rushfeldt’s, offered a scenic vantage point and an ideal spot for the salt block. Any crops seeded at the time were fenced (hot-wired) to keep the cows out.

He describes the country around Ferguson’s as wide open and burnt, so flat “you could see a blackbird sitting on the ground a mile away.” The small burnt stumps remaining were hard on horses’ feet and there was always a lame on in the bunch. One fall while threshing at Bonanza, Clinton remembers seeing that fire. He said that because of harvesting they weren’t called upon to help fight it, but a friend of his, John Clisby, was. After the fire, the sod was easy to turn; just adjust the plow and go.

Ferguson and Peters were the very first farmers to settle in the area. They crossed the Teepee north of Banser’s, followed the canyon past where Leo Lefebvre now lives, continued to Rushfeldt’s and then angled northward to their destination. In the early 60’s many new farmers filed on homesteads and the area quickly changed. Anyone going to town always came back with supplies and mail for his fellow neighbors – likely the highlight of the week.

One spring Clinton delivered a catalogue mail order to Ferguson’s and in it were a pair of rubber boots. Wes tried them on, later went to bed, and awoke the next morning still wearing them!

This draft is available for public review at the address below. The woodlots covered by this plan are: Woodlot W0604 located at Mile 85 (Kitt Road) and Mile 92.

Woodlot 1165 located at the junction of Highway 52 and the Kelly Lake Road Woodlot 1912 located at 11 km and 25 km on the Beatton River Airport Road Woodlot 1924 located at 15 km on the Mile 98 Road Woodlot 1953 located at 8 km on the South Puggins Road The use of pesticides is intended within the areas to which this Pest Management Plan applies. Under this PMP, Amuri Forest Management Ltd. will use a combination of selective and broad based techniques, alone or in combination with one another, to suppress and control competitive vegetation. Our approach to prompt reforestation with quality seedlings on the best microsites enhances our efforts towards reducing the circumstances where vegetation control is needed. Where vegetation control treatments are required in order to fulfill legal obligations for stand establishment, one or more of the following treatment options may be selected based on detailed site assessments: • Mechanical & Manual treatments such as Hand Girdling, Brush and Chain saws, (brushing & weeding), Site Preparation; • Herbicide Application with ground foliar spraying, selective or spot treatment.

46 The Northern Horizon, July 1, 2016

Belt Drive Betty is still driving the Fort Mac road There are some actions that speak so loudly as to character that you bond to that person who took the action in the most profound of ways.

I hope my penmanship will allow you to understand and feel just how deep these experiences were.

I want to back up to the day that I decided I wanted to get into Fort Mac with supplies.

I made this decision in a snap, no thinking, no second guessing, it became a rock hard resolve in my heart. I was prepared to rent a truck and trailer if I had to that’s how hard the resolve was set in me.

When I called Lynda Klouth, my Grande Prairie & Region publisher for the BKC News Bytes and told her what I wanted to do, there was no hesitation in her.

I had already adopted this woman as a sister of my soul and her actions on May 4th, 2016, well, they have forever cemented her position in my heart.

When I talked to my

team of two, contractors, and told them I needed them to help and support me in this decision, I got immediate support. Again no second guessing, no comments of don’t go - it was “you tell me what you need and I will do it.” Suzie and Dave helped me with communications, Suzie did my banking and answered emails for me.

I trust this woman with my life - she has been my right hand for 11 years she is my ROCK in this business called Belt Drive Betty Media.

My company is so much better for having Dave Trerice handling event communications and postings - he’s a trooper and guess what - our pay day is on the 6th of the month and these good folks had to wait for me to get home to do payroll before they could get paid.

NO WHINING - NO BITCHING - they were sooo damned patient.

Suzie and her husband were among the first to send me a donation as well!

How’s that for loyalty and support?

My “son” Darren Burry with the Iron Order Motorcycle Club was also among the first to donate and in all he donated three times. His club all stepped up to help him, help me.

I call Darren my son because he is one of those very special young men that moved my soul. He and his wife Em are two of the sweetest people in the world with hearts that are so generous, so genuine, well I fell in love with them the first time I met them and time after time they have proven to me the quality of their souls through their actions. I want to thank all of the members of the Iron Order who helped Darren help me. One Albertan, Canadian and motorcyclist to another - YOU ROCK. Then there was Jeremy Hall who called me to help coordinate the effort. He started collecting donations, cleared his schedule so that he’d be able to come and pitch in. He

sent me some money to help with supplies, and then he showed up in Fort Mac with more supplies, the donation from Nicole in Slave Lake and Will Skinner. He also is the one who called me and asked me if we could take Grovedale Fire Fighter Jessica Kappel with us into Fort Mac. I watched Jeremy Hall work tirelessly. When he wasn’t on the BBQ he was shifting supplies and getting them palletized and sorted, running a water truck or a hoe, hand balming supplies off of the SaveOn Foods truck that came in on Thursday because no one could find a key to the forklift.

I watched him texting for supplies like windshield washer fluid, DEF Fluid for diesel trucks and making calls to rally his network of people.

How about Will Skinner - that man’s story can’t be told enough. Will was in a wheelchair just 6 short months ago. Two broken legs, two broken arms and a broken neck thanks to a

texting driver who crossed the centre lane and hit him on his motorcycle head on.

Now many know I am crippled up from a car crash, two buggered up feet, knees, low back, 4 compressed disks in my neck etc...and yes, there are a lot of things that I have had to learn to do creatively because I refuse to give in.

But seriously - 6 MONTHS AGO Will Skinner was in a wheelchair.

I witnessed the fatigue and pain in his face. I witnessed a man who no matter what, put a smile on his face and just kept on flipping burgers and dogs, cooking potatoes and SERVING OTHERS. If that does not SPEAK VOLUMES of the character of the man, I seriously don’t know what else could unless of course you also consider that Will slept in his seat in Jeremy’s truck.

That’s where both men slept. In a 3/4 ton Dodge flat deck pick up.

Honeybee celebrated Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick was joined by Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux at the Honeybee Centre in Surrey to celebrate the occasion.

The provincial government recognizes the vital role honeybees play in British Columbia’s food production and environment and is working to support and expand bee habitat and health throughout the province. Potential initiatives could include enhancing bee habitat at government buildings by planting bee-friendly plants and looking into the potential of placing bee hives at appropriate government buildings, including the Parliament buildings, in the future.

The B.C. government will also work with stakeholders to promote the inclusion of bee friendly plants at farms, and increase the sales and public planting of bee forage plants.

Belt Drive Betty the adventure continues Grovedale Fire Fighter Jessica Kappel with us into Fort Mac. I watched Jeremy Hall work tirelessly. When he wasn’t on the BBQ he was shifting supplies and getting them palletized and sorted, running a water truck or a hoe, hand balming supplies off of the SaveOn Foods truck that came in on Thursday because no one could find a key to the forklift.

I watched him texting for supplies like windshield washer fluid, DEF Fluid for diesel trucks and making calls to rally his network of people.

How about Will Skinner - that man’s story can’t be told enough.

Will was in a wheelchair just 6 short months ago. Two broken legs, two broken arms and a broken neck thanks to a texting driver who crossed the centre lane and hit him on his motorcycle head on.

Now many know I am crippled up from a car crash, two buggered up feet, knees, low back, 4 compressed disks in my neck etc...and yes, there are a lot of things that I have had to learn to do creatively because I refuse to give in.

If that does not SPEAK VOLUMES of the character of the man, I seriously don’t know what else could unless of course you also consider that Will slept in his seat in Jeremy’s truck.

That’s where both men slept. In a 3/4 ton Dodge flat deck pick up.

Then there were the others behind the scenes, the ones that no one in the main stream media wants to give any cudos to; the Hells Angels, the Syndicate, the Nomads and others - they set up a warehouse and supported the Redwater evacuee centre filling it three times and offered me help to garner air masks and filters the minute they heard of the need.

100 sets of air filters were taken to Fire Hall 3 in St Albert - courtesy of the men that so many hate.

When I told them of the need in Wandering River and Boyle - they were already all over Boyle and are now also taking up donations to Wandering River.

WHY? Why would these men that society hates and reviles so badly do that? Because it’s what they always do in the time of need - they run by the same code that “bikers”, “riders” everywhere follow, they are the ones in our community who taught this code to the rest of us - NEVER EVER LEAVE A BROTHER OR SISTER BEHIND. They just never get any credit for the good things that they do, so most people only know to fear and hate them.

Then there is the flip side of that coin - the Wetaskiwin crew of the Alberta Sheriffs who ride.

In an unofficial capacity, Kevin O’Conner and his crew, Malik, Lacy, Jeff Roblin (A1 Supply) and so many others in their network loaded up supplies donated by the Hutterite colonies in both Wetaskiwin and Camrose. Pine Colony in particular went way above and beyond in the quality

and quantity of the things they donated. Fresh eggs, potatoes, onions, baking, home made sausage and so much more. They also had donations from John Deere, Coop and many individuals.

The crew from A1 Supply who donated the truck, trailer and fuel to deliver the supplies - are you starting to get the picture here?

Did you know these good people almost left after a 6 hour drive and a herculean effort to gather stuff without eating? Their responses were “I feel like we would

be taking away from the first responders”. I insisted they have a hot dog or something that driving all those hours without food was as dangerous as working without food. They capitulated finally when I ORDERED them to eat.

If you are blessed to be riding today, please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you!

AB barley applaud government investment Alberta Barley is applauding the provincial government’s $10-million capital investment into the Agrivalue Processing Business Incubator and Food Processing Development Centre (FPDC) in Leduc.

“With an investment like this it’s clear that agri-food processing in Alberta is both a top priority of the government and a driver of industry,” said Mike Ammeter, Alberta Barley chairman and region three director. “We hope this capital injection will be a catalyst for further innovation

from the Food Processing Development Centre.

By adding 2,350 square metres of capacity, the centre will ensure the facility has long-term growth potential and can accommodate modern equipment to allow small businesses to run test pilots and potentially scale up production into commercial production.

“Our agri-food entrepreneurs employ tens of thousands of Alberta workers and every year the Food Processing Develop-

ment Centre helps as many as 100 new and existing businesses grow and succeed,” said Darren Bilous, minister of economic trade and development.

“Expanding this facility means more jobs and a more diversified economy that builds on our strengths. This is the Alberta Jobs Plan in action.”

Alberta Barley has funded research at the Centre throughout the years, including a recent study related to the incorporation of barley ingredients in a range of

food products that would meet Health Canada’s barley health claim. By consuming three grams of barley soluble fibre per day, a person can help reduce blood cholesterol and decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Alberta’s food and beverage industries form the province’s second-largest manufacturing sector, employing approximately 25,500 people with sales of more than $13 billion.

Bov-innovation workshop providing producers with extension experience The Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) is pleased to help power a new extension event for producers, titled BovInnovation. Bov-Innovation will be held as part of the inaugural Canadian Beef Industry Conference, which will take place from August 9-11, 2016 at the Grey Eagle Resort and Casino in Calgary, Alberta.

“The BCRC has a great track record of sharing meaningful science-based information to Canada’s beef producers online and in print, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to partner on this inperson session,” explained Tim Oleksyn, a cow-calf producer based out of Shellbrook, SK and the Chair of BCRC. “ BovInnovation will bring leading research and expertise to producers in a unique format that encourages producer participation,” Oleksyn added.

Bov-Innovation will feature innovative and emerging production practices that feedlot and cow-calf operators may want to consider implementing in their operations. The session format itself will be engaging and unlike mainstream producer events, with experts delivering information in a fast-paced lightning-round style. The audience will be able to choose between six topics presented during two concurrent sessions and participants will be able to discuss the recommendations with presenters and fellow producers. The BCRC will provide additional resources to producers on-site.

Bov-Innovation will take place on August 10 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm and include sessions lead by industry leaders with input from producers who are actively incorporating some of the featured

practices on their own operations. Topics will include: • The economic benefits associated with preconditioning, as presented by Brenna Grant of Canfax Research Services, with Dr. Oliver Schunicht sharing his producer perspective on why he chooses to precondition.

• Using cover crops to maximize soil health while providing forage for grazing cattle, as shared by Dr. Jill Clapperton of Rhizoterra.

• Antimicrobial usage and resistance and effective prevention measures, as discussed by Dr. Cody Creelman of Veterinary Agri-Health Services.

• The increasing challenge of sustainable internal parasite management in beef cattle, as presented by Dr. John Gilleard of the University of Calgary.

• Pain management methods and techniques, as explained by Dr. John Campbell with Tamara Carter providing a producer perspective.

• Demystifying genomic selection tools, as covered in a tag-team presentation by Dr. John Crowley of the Canadian Beef Breeds Council and Dr. Kim McLean, the provincial beef specialist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture.

This unique extension event is possible because of funding through the NationalCheck-Off and the Beef Science Cluster, and collaboration with other industry stakeholders through the National Beef Strategy and the organizing committee of the Canadian Beef Industry Conference.
