Market access for pulses from Canada to India The Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, and the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of International Trade, today issued the following statement on continued access for Canadian pulses to India: “Since 2004, India has granted Canada a series of exemptions to an import regulation regarding mandatory fumigation for pulses. Another exemption has been granted which will allow continued access to the Indian market for Canadian pulse exporters. Exports leaving Canada on or before September 30, 2017, will not require fumigation in Canada. We will maintain on-going trade while officials on both sides

continue to work towards a longterm, systems-based solution.

Pulses are a large part of Canada’s contribution to two-way trade between our two nations: In 2016, pulse exports to India were worth over $1.1 billion and accounted for 27.7 percent of Canada’s global pulse exports. Canada is a safe and reliable global supplier of pulses, with exports of more than $4 billion annually.

The Government of Canada has worked together with industry to secure this exemption with the Government of India, which will benefit Canadians and Canadian farmers.

This is a short term remedy and we continue to work on a long-term, commercially viable solution.”

Investments making beef sector more sustainable Canada’s beef sector is an important driver of economic growth, contributing $2.69 billion annually to the Ontario economy and supporting 61,000 jobs in the province. The Government of Canada continues to invest in innovation and the overall productivity and competitiveness of the livestock industry.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister, Lawrence MacAulay, today announced a $2 million investment with the Beef Farmers of Ontario to enhance the genetic profiling of eastern Canada cow herds to improve feed efficiency. The research will take place within the Elora Beef Research Centre, which is being expanded through a provincial investment announced by Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal at the same ground-breaking event.

This federal investment is expected to have a direct benefit for producers by reducing the amount of feed needed for every pound of beef, with each cow producing less methane and less manure. Feed costs account for 25 per cent of beef input costs. Industry studies have shown that a one per cent improvement in feed efficiency can result in annual savings of $11.1 million for the sector.

“The federal government is proud to partner with the Province of Ontario to support research at a state-of-the-art beef research centre serving all of eastern Canada. This investment will make the beef industry even stronger and more competitive, supporting jobs and economic growth in Ontario and across Canada,” says Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay.

The Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO) represents the interests of the province’s 19,000 beef farmers, including all sectors of the industry.

The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has contributed $12.4M to expand the Elora Beef Research Centre.

Farmers know the importance of keeping the land, water and air healthy to sustain their farms from one generation to the next. They also know that a clean environment and a strong economy go hand-inhand.

Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence and Member of Parliament (Calgary Centre) Kent Hehr today announced a $1.1 million investment with the University of Lethbridge to study ways to reduce methane gas emissions in cattle.

This project with the University of Lethbridge is one of 20 new research projects supported by the $27 million Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program (AGGP), a partnership with universities and conservation groups across Canada. The program supports research into greenhouse gas mitigation practices and technologies that can be adopted on the farm.

“Canadian farmers are great stewards of the land and the environment. These new investments are part of the government’s commitment to addressing climate change and ensuring our farmers are world leaders in the use and development of clean and sustainable technology and processes,” noted Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Ag-

riculture and Agri-Food.

“The government is committed to help address climate change and this investment will help farmers adopt sustainable practices that will reduce the amount of methane gas produced, while maintaining a productive herd and strengthening farm business,” chimed in Kent Hehr, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence and Member of Parliament (Calgary Centre).

Dr. Erasmus Okine, University of Lethbridge Vice-President (Research), said reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced by the cattle sector is important both environmentally, economically and helps build public trust.

“Producers want to operate in a sustainable fashion and our study results will help them do that.”

The AGGP is a $27-million initiative intended to help the agricultural sector adjust to climate change and improve soil and water conservation.

The study led by the University of Lethbridge will investigate whether the use of biochar, a feed supplement, in beef cattle diets improves the efficiency of digestion and reduces the amount of methane gas produced.

Why BBQ season matters to cattle producers Canadians are firing up their grills and enjoying their favourite cold beverages.

Warm weather means barbeque season, and thus a seasonal peak in the demand for beef products.

Strength in export markets along with lower beef retail prices for consumers that have boosted overall beef demand in Canada means cattle producers are likely to enjoy strong profit margins throughout the summer.

The value of Canadian beef typically peaks in June Canadian beef cutout values are an indication of consumers’ demand and industry’s available supply of beef. It measures the value of the carcass using a weighted average of primal cuts. It typically increases through the spring and peaks in mid-June, in response to high consumer demand for the July long weekend.

The elevated beef cutout value so far in 2017 is the result of tight supplies and strong demand, as prices for Canadian beef remain higher than the 5-year average.

Interestingly, retail prices for beef were 5% lower in April 2017 as compared to April 2016, according to Statistics Canada. This is mostly the result of intense competition

among food retailers. In response to the lower average retail price for beef, consumers demand has increased, resulting in stronger prices for Canadian cutout values.

Cutout values dictate movements in cattle prices Strong retail demand and cutout values usually support the fed cattle market. Fed cattle prices generally reach seasonal highs in late April or early May as packers’ demand for cattle is strong in anticipation of consumer demand for the barbeque season. This year, prices of fed cattle have not been following this trend, remaining strong longer through May and June. The current drivers of fed cattle prices are pretty clear: strong consumer demand, and to a lesser extent the limited supply of cattle. The market could change in the fall as cattle on feed numbers signal the potential for a larger supply of cattle and thus softer prices.

Seasonal trends in cattle slaughters Cattle slaughters follow a very distinct seasonal pattern.

Monthly cattle slaughters have trended very close to the 5-year average in 2017. This normal production pattern suggests consumers’ demand for beef in the domestic and export markets is strong.

Kelly Sutherland on pace to relax at 65 How does one who’s seen it all – won it all – know when to call it quits?

When do you give up passion, after 20 years, maybe 40? Especially if you’re an athlete, the window does not last too long.

For chuckwagon driver Kelly Sutherland of Grande Prairie, it took 50 years for him to say “enough”.

“I think 50 years is enough for me, I have some other things I want to do and I’ve been around the sport for a long long time. It’s just time for me to exit, it’s getting a lot more difficult on my body to stay in shape, and I think time to move on.”

That’s it. He’s ridden enough and it’s time to move on, as if 50 years is no big deal. But what Sutherland has accomplished is a very big deal.

He has been declared the World Professional Chuckwagon Association (WPCA) World Champion 12 times. He has won the legendary Calgary Stampede Rangeland Derby 12 times as well.

There is really nothing he hasn’t accomplished in the sport. This year is a bit of a challenge for the cowboy, as he is 21st in the WPCA standings.

“Well, I’ve been about middle of the pack in the association so I’m supposing that’s good,” he said sounding happy to be able to still race., while also OK with the end of his career drawing near.

However, his voice perks up when asked about an upcoming race.

“Should be fine, I’m on an outside barrel with some tough competition. So you know I’m not sure I’ll win the race but the important thing is to stay close and when you get the advantage to try and make it pay. Got to beat all 36 guys, so it’s just important to be clean in our association

and to be tough every time you head out there,” Sutherland said.

You can hear it in his voice – the passion is still there. And yet, he’s got some plans made already for the future.

“I’d probably go riding in the mountains a little bit, do some guiding and stuff. And just to take the summers off. I haven’t seen a summer in the Peace country for 50 years, so maybe have a look around and see what it’s like, see if it’s the same as when I was a kid or not.”

What is most evident as we talk is his passion for the Peace Region. Living in Grande Prairie and racing in places like Dawson Creek has been important to him. Especially because DC is where he got his start in 1968.

“Dawson Creek is kind of special to me because that’s the first ever time I was in a race was the 1968 Fall Fair. I’ll be pretty much ending my career where I started it.”

This year, the Dawson Creek Exhibition is the second last race of the WPCA’s season, so it’s a pretty true statement.

“I think it’s just fitting to end things at that end where I’d been up to Dawson Creek riding race horses since I was about nine years old. You know I spent a lot of time in the peace country when I was a kid.”

Sutherland took time to reflect on his career and what the sport of chuckwagon racing has meant to him and his family, and it’s clear how fond of it he still is after all this time.

“I think it’s just been a fantastic sport for me you know, me and my wife Debbie raised all of our kids in the sport. I entered it when I was 14 years old working and so, I don’t think I could ask

11

for anything more successful for me. I won a lot of stuff and was highly competitive and the sport was very rewarding to me.”

He said that his first love was for thoroughbred horses and he’s managed to spend 50 years of his life working with them. He knows the fact that he’s never had a job he didn’t like is a unique situation and one he is thankful for.

It is easy to get lost in a daydream imagining what it would be like to have your dream job for 50 years. Just think of what it must be like to have that come to an end.

He appears to remain grateful as he lists off accomplishments and how honoured he is to have been chosen to host the royal couple at the Calgary Stampede and carry the torch for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.

For now he is just looking forward to the “Cowboy Christmas”, the three stretch that features the Ponoka Stampede, the Calgary Stampede and the Bonnyville Chuckwagon Championship, in hopes that he can “win some money here.”

He may not win a race this year, but he knows how fortunate he’s been to have that much success.

“I was very fortunate to gain that confidence early that I knew I could win, and therefore ended up winning Calgary 12 times. You know when I won the first time I thought I’d just be very happy to win it once because a lot of people have tried their whole life and never got the job done,” he said.

“So I don’t think I could ask for a better career or a better life.” sports@dcdn.ca

Equine lacerations- the good, bad, and ugly

Spring has sprung, summer has arrived with some of the most enjoyable weather and outdoor activities. Along with this comes another season for us in veterinary practice. This is also cut horse season. Horses become more active, not only being enjoyed and ridden by us but also behaviorally busy out on pasture “just being horses.” Mares are in heat, dominance hierarchy’s are established and re-made, and activity levels increase. In the mist of this horses like to get in fights with fences, sticks, and basically any inanimate object in which they tend to lose the battle!

There are some basics every horse owner should be aware of when dealing with equine punctures, cuts or lacerations.

Generally you can assume the seriousness of the laceration by the location on your horse’s body. For example, lacerations which heal well occur on places like the head and face or the upper body. The head and face has extremely good blood supply which promotes healing, and upper body lacerations occur where there is lot of flesh and low skin tension. The most serious lacerations occur in areas around joints, tendons, major vessels and eyes. Emergencies are triaged (or prioritized) based on this and your veterinarian can help to come up with the most appropriate action. Essentially when a wound is observed the most immediate action is to control hemorrhage and keep clean. This is done primarily by cleaning and bandaging the lesion

if possible, and getting them seem immediately by your veterinarian. Avoid excessive cleaning with house hold “cocktails” as most can do more harm than good. You usually have 6 hours to get a wound sutured before exponential bacterial growth prevents a successful laceration closure. Wounds that are in high mobility regions or with excessive swelling and skin tension also may be difficult to suture and keep closed. These wounds are not sutured and managed by other means to let them heal and mend on their own.

The most serious lacerations we see involve a joint or tendon. These can be life threatening and should be seen by a veterinarian immediately. Joint or tendon sheath infections are very serious situations. Usually these are on the lower limbs or on the back side of the limb where the vital structures are located. Luckily, as veterinarians, we have an amazing treatment for these infected areas called regional limb perfusion. This is where we place a tourniquet above the area on the limb, a vein is catheterized, and an antibiotic solution is infused and allowed to saturate the area for up to 20 minutes. Successful outcome is highly dependent on early intervention.

As a laceration heals, proud flesh is always a concern. Proud flesh is an extra production of a normal healing tissue called granulation tissue, or pink to red colored tissue that grows in a wound. It provides a bed for skin to close across and is normal and good in most instances. Excess production of granulation or proud flesh

occurs in areas where there is high skin tension, poor blood supply, or high motion. It appears as a pink bulge that protrudes above the skin level.

This always occurs on the lower limbs as proud flesh never occurs in the upper body. A general rule of thumb is that proud flesh only occurs from the knees and hocks down. Fortunately, there are several treatments we have to combat excess granulation. Also, immobilization of a lower leg wound is beneficial and accelerates healing. We routinely place casts on the foot for wounds in the heel area.

Throughout history, there are thousands of topical products that have been used on lacerations. Most have been proven from veterinary research to have little or no affect on outcome and the majority actually has negative effects on wound healing. There is a thought that states: if you wouldn’t put a substance in your eye, you should NOT be putting it on a wound. Hydro therapy or water flushin has been used successfully for years and is still used for cleaning and mechanical debridement of wounds. . An even better recommendation we make is using saline for wound flushing instead of water. Saline has the same salt concentration as blood and mechanically debrides the same as water, while not killing the healthy wound-healing cells. This can be made with table salt and boiled water placed in a clean weed sprayer and then pumped, and used for irrigation and cleaning of the wound.

Please talk to us about the recipe for this easy, homemade saline! You can also increase the salt concentration to make the flush “hypertonic” for very swollen, infected, or edematous wounds.

Most very catastrophic flesh wounds can be healed up with this saline therapy.

Puncture wounds are also very common and occur mostly in the chest and groin. A lot are as a result of horses running through the bush and impaling themselves on sticks. Veterinarians prefer if you leave the stick or foreign body in place until they arrive. We will remove them when proper hemorrhage control tools are available. Punctures are notorious for becoming extremely infected and resulting in copious amounts of discharge. If this discharge persists more than a few days suspect a piece of stick still remaining and seek veterinary attention. These dirty, anaerobic wounds are also highly prone to promote Tetanus and should always accompany a tetanus vaccination booster.

The most important take home message is to consult your veterinarian immediately who will happily help you assess the severity, course of action and management to lead you to a successful outcome!

Style, class, and athleticism

For example, if we were to pick up one rein or two we should be thinking about the horse giving his head and neck to the rein or reins, not turning or stopping. Turning and stopping is secondary to allowing for and looking for softening of the head and neck. It isn’t something you make happen. It is something you allow, look for or try to access. When we do what we call a 9-step backup, the rider should be thinking about the feel they offer the horse and the feel they get back from the horse. The rider should be looking for the horse to tuck the nose, round the topside of it’s neck and soften to the reins as the rider goes through the first 7 steps. Then the rider can look for a stop at step 8 and finally backup at 9. This type of thinking and softening of the horse helps them lift their backs so they can lift their feet and backup. The rider will have to be very careful not to make backing up more important than the softness, willingness and understanding. The rider will also need to be very careful not to keep taking rein when the horse is trying find release or softness. Anyone that has rode in my clinics knows exactly what I’m talking about. All people are born with an incredible desire to pull and when a horse tries to give to reins or a lead line, us humans feel we have to pull some more. This dulls the horse and causes them to not try to look for release because there isn’t any. As I was learning all this, if I had a dollar for every time I pulled

and wasn’t aware that I did, I would be retired.

I see it now as I teach people and we truly are oblivious to how many times we are pulling on a horse, which only creates problems. It takes time to realize we are doing it, and then it takes more time to curb and change the habit.

It is important to be thinking about what style, class and athleticism might look like and that it comes from a mental and emotional willingness. Your goal should be working towards this sooner rather than later, accessing as much as we can each time, we ask something of our horses. Of course, it doesn’t always look this way and doesn’t always happen. It is more difficult when doing things at speed, but if it never looks like this even slow then something is very wrong.

We may not even be looking for these 3 ingredients but the horse sure is. Rest assured that we are missing the best parts of a horse and the best parts of ourselves. All horses have the capacity for these things but it doesn’t magically happen we need to have it first. All horses are not the same but all horses are also very much the same in many ways. Some want to run all the time some don’t want to hardly move. That’s a difference that can be good in some areas and bad in another. We need to work with the horse we have and help guide them towards being the horse we would like. The excuses of my horse is different, abused, came this way from the previous owner, had a trailer loading/unloading accident only last so long and then it is our horse and is a mirror of what we do and don’t know.

Think about getting something done and doing it with style, class, and athleticism. It will access more of us and more of our horses.

Everything we do with our horses could be approached with this thought: how could we achieve or work towards what we do with our horses looking stylish, classy and athletic? Of course, whatever we expect of our horses we should expect of ourselves. These 3 things come from a mental and emotional willingness, a softness, and understanding in the horse and the human. Pretty much anything we do with our horses, even slow, should be done with that in mind.

If we don’t think about it when things are slow we surely will not when things get fast. Whatever we practice slowly needs to be done really well because it seems to get worse when we go faster.

If it is not so good slow, it gets real bad the faster we go.

This is the Alberta top sirloin beef tostada th lean grilled beef and market-fresh veggies, this crispy crunchy main-course salad has all the satisfaction of a nacho platter with a fraction of the fat and a BIG boost of nutrients. Using oventoasted whole wheat flour tortillas as the tostada base is a healthier choice than traditional fried corn tortillas.

WHAT YOU NEED: 1 lb (500 g) Beef Top Sirloin Grilling Steak, about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick 8 7-inch (18 cm) whole wheat flour tortillas ¼ cup (50 mL) Chopped red onion 2 Cloves garlic, minced 2 cups (500 mL) EACH quartered mushrooms and grape tomatoes, halved 2 cups (500 mL) Fresh or thawed corn

U DO

kernels 1 cup (250 mL) Shredded lettuce 2 tbsp (30 mL) Minced fresh coriander or parsley Pinch Salt and pepper Marinade/Dressing: 1 tbsp (15 mL) Grated lime rind ¼ cup (50 mL) Lime juice (about 2 limes) 2 tbsp (30 mL) Minced fresh coriander or parsley 1 tbsp (15 mL) Chili powder 4 Large cloves garlic, minced INSTRUCTIONS: Marinade/Dressing: In bowl, combine lime rind, lime juice, coriander, chili powder and gar-

lic. Set aside 3 tablespoons (45 mL) into a large bowl for dressing. Rub remaining mixture over both sides of steak. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, toast tortillas (see Cook’s Notes).

Pat steak dry; season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high, about 5 minutes per side, for medium-rare. Let rest before slicing.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until all liquid is released, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add tomatoes and corn. Cook, stirring just until softened, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk remaining oil into reserved marinade to complete the dressing. Thinly slice steak; add to dressing along with mushroom mixture, lettuce and coriander, tossing gently to coat.

Pile 1/2 cup (125 mL) beef mixture on each tortilla to serve.

B.C. beef & herb-stuffed zucchini

by Judie Steeves This looks quite dramatic so it’s great for company. You can use any size of zucchini, but I think this is a good recipe for those ones that got away on you from the garden. There’s not much room for stuffing the little guys and we treat this as a complete meal.

1 foot-long zucchini 1/2 lb. (227 g) lean ground B.C. beef 1 small onion 1 clove garlic 1 tbsp. (15 ml) chives 1 tbsp. (15 ml) parsley 2 tsp. (10 ml) lemon thyme 1 tsp. (5 ml) fresh oregano 1 tsp. (5 ml) fresh tarragon salt and pepper to taste 3 tbsp. (45 ml) white wine grated Swiss cheese Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise to form two long ‘boats.’ Use a spoon to remove the pulp from the centre of the vegetable, making sure you don’t pierce the outer skin. Leave a shell of at least a half-inch all around. Chop the pulp, onions and mince the garlic. Use whatever herbs you have fresh that sound as if they’d be good. It’s important there be a total of at least three tablespoons of fresh herbs, though. Mince them. Gently heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frypan or wok and add the ground beef and onions, then the garlic.

Cook until the beef has changed colour and the onions are limp, adding the chopped zuc-

chini pulp part way through. When the pulp has cooked down and there’s little juice left in the pan, add the herbs and wine and continue stirring and cooking until there’s just enough moisture left for the stuffing to stick together. Salt and pepper each shell and stuff with the meat mixture. Grate Swiss cheese, or a combination of Swiss and mozzarella over the top and place the zucchini ‘boats’ in a pan with about a half-inch of water in the bottom. Roast for about half an hour, until the cheese has browned on top.

Serve on a platter or serving board.

For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and substitute any other vegetables you’d like, including lentils or black beans, more onion, chopped celery or tomato, and combine it with cooked rice before stuffing.

For a richer version, add a thick bechamel (white) sauce to the top of the meat stuffing before the grated cheese.

carrots and celery. Bring to bubbling, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for a couple of hours, either on the stove or in a medium oven. When the meat is tender, stir in minced jalapeno peppers and cornmeal and bring back to bubbling, simmering for a half hour longer, until the sauce is nice and thick.

Trim meat and cube it or cut it into thick strips. Heat oil in a Dutch oven and brown the meat and onion, adding the minced garlic, then the broth, herbs and spices, except the hot peppers. (You could leave them out if you’d prefer.) Add sliced

This could also be cooked in a slow cooker all day on low, then the peppers and cornmeal added for the last half-hour of cooking. This is good served on squares of cornbread or on brown rice.

This is suitable for those who cannot eat wheat, because it’s thickened with cornmeal instead of flour.

It’s excellent cooked in a slow cooker all day, then thickened at the end.

It heats up deliciously for a second meal a couple of days later.

Classic Saskatoon rhubarb pie Nothing says summer in Manitoba like a Saskatoon berry and rhubarb pie. The wild berries and herbaceous perennials are a perfect pair in this perfect pie. Saskatoons—deep purple berries that grow wild on bushes—look a lot like blueberries and have a sweet, nutty, and slightly “wild” taste. Serve this pie warm with vanilla ice cream for maximum decadence. For an authentic Tall Grass Prairie pie, use organic white and whole-wheat flour.

INGREDIENTS 4 cups Saskatoon berries 2 cups rhubard (fresh or frozen), chopped 1 cup granulated sugar ¼ cup all-purpose flour (add 1 Tbsp extra flour if using frozen fruit)

1 small egg ½ tsp white vinegar Cold water DIRECTIONS 1. Filling :In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Set aside until ready to use.

1. Crust: Preheat oven to 350˚F. 2. In a large bowl, combine flours and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles small peas.

3. Add shortening and stir until chunks of shortening are dispersed throughout. Set aside.

4. In a liquid measuring cup, combine egg and vinegar. Fill measuring cup with cold water until it reaches the 1/2-cup mark. Whisk to combine.

Wetaskiwin winter forage and an Arras tale Andrew Tschetter WETASKIWIN It was a treat to spot this flock of Canadian Arcott ewes and lambs on their winter feeding grounds while on a tour of Pine Haven Hutterite Colony north of Red Deer in Alberta’s Westaskiwin County where I stayed to visit friends. The sheep were munching away on an alfalfa and grass mixture which as my host Mark Hofer tells me – is cut at prebloom stag or ideally when sugar reading is at its highest; then dried to 20% moisture, baled usually from 12 to 24 hours after cutting and wrapped completely air tight. The finished product is a soft leafy mass of nutrient dense forage. It almost looked as though the sheep were on green grass in the dead of winter! Mark points out that this winter feed strategy has contributed to better weight gain and the overall health of the sheep who aren’t fed any grain. The Colony butchers and processes lamb at their on-site provincially inspected slaughter facility – where they also process beef and pork. Lamb is available seasonally through ‘The Meat Shop’ website. (info@phmeatshop.ca) Arras Todd and Kari Bondaroff make

sheep production look easy on their picturesque hill farm in Arras, B.C., a 20 minute drive south of Dawson Creek. I pop by one balmy winter afternoon for an Ovine viewing (A warning readers – this shepherd is prone to showing up at sheep farms for general viewings and discussing the merits of apple cider vinegar, Wendell Berry and local marketing).

Shepherdess Kari Bondaroff kindly organizes a summons of her small flock of commercial ewes wielding a bucket of oats. Before one could say ‘apple cider vinegar’, a group of heavily pregnant thick meat ewes who at first glance look like they could qualify as All Canada Sheep Classic show champions – suddenly materialize around the corner of a bright red New England-style barn. Leading the charge is 6-year old ‘Mary”, a Suffolk cross who according to Bondaroff rose from a bottle baby to become Mountainview Acres’ most productive and all round best ewes. Affectionately known as the ‘Fetcher’, Mary is always out front and in command as per the wishes of Bondaroff who sys, “Mary is amazing! She’s one ewe that can successfully raise triplets to full weight and size. She had triplets four consecutive year, one of which quads were born, whose birth weights were all over 12 pounds.”

Since introducing the sheep in 2002, Mountainview Acres has been adept at the local marketability of lamb both for meat sales and selling breeding stock. “This year my ewe lambs have all been sold and they haven’t been born yet.” Says Bondaroff. The ewes are due to begin lambing the start of February.

Although the ewes are selected primarily for meat, Bondaroff strives for a balance in breeding ratios and easy lambing to shorter, medium framed uniformity, but opts

for heavy front ends and nice long backs in the ewes “I am for a dress out percentage of 60%,” says Bondaroff.

An adorable family of Boer goats bids me farewell as I leave … they appear as the ewes cease their milling from an oat induced clamour to enamour us with their characteristic caprine personalities. Courtesy of Harmony Boer Goats from Cecil Lake, they are good natured – making the heart of this shepherd glad!

Hmmm … Boer goats.

32 The Northern Horizon, July 21, 2017

Can the B of C lift a key interest rate?

Three factors behind the possibility of seeing rates trend up Current inflation is low at 1.3%, and at the lower end of the BofC target of 2%. This is one of the reasons why the BoC could wait before lifting its key interest rate. Inflation forecasts to be released Wednesday will say a lot about the future paths of interest rates. Higher projected inflation would mean higher rates.

While crude oil prices remain low, the Canadian economy definitely made adjustments to this new reality. The 2015 rate cuts helped remove some excess capacity in the economy. But unemployment has now declined and business invest-

ment rebounded.

Canadian GDP growth has been strong and it is expected the BoC will reaffirm its positive forecasts of last April when it stated that economy would grow by 2.5% in 2017 and near 2% in 2018. I expect the BofC will raise growth projections for 2017 and 2018.

The Canadian dollar has averaged US$0.749 in the first half of 2017.We expect the dollar will average slightly above US$0.75 for the remainder of the year. Messages to the effect that economic conditions warrant higher interest rates in the near future have already lifted interest rates in financial markets.

Flaten, “so no general bumper crop potential in those areas, regardless of improved growing conditions.”

Dryness has delayed crop development and damaged crops in southwest Saskatchewan, as well as east- and west-central parts of the province this year.

“Hay yields in those areas are already set, so more moisture wouldn’t help boost yields,” Flaten says.

Provincial crop development is also behind normal in areas beset by saturated conditions.

Cool temperatures have slowed things down as well, with strong winds having blown throughout the province.

Across the province, farmers’ wish lists are a mixed bag, depending on where they are.

Growers in the southeast, northwest and northeast particularly have dealt with excess moisture conditions.

“The best weather conditions going forward will vary depending on the location in the province,” Flaten says. “Warm growing conditions would be beneficial — not too hot though — along with drier conditions where there is surplus moisture, and wetter conditions where there is a moisture deficit.”

Yield reductions are almost guaranteed in the northeast, northwest and Peace River parts of Alberta thanks to very late seeding and wet weather, says Agriculture Financial Services Corporation risk analyst James Wright.

Also impacting crop output will be unseeded acres.

Wet fields barred heavy machinery, and Wright guessed farmers up in the northern and Peace regions were only able to plant 90 per cent of intended acres, leaving as much as one million acres unseeded.

Contrast weather to impact prairie crop production

The Northern Horizon, July 21, 2017

Weed pressure mounting after tough spring Weed pressure is mounting in some parts of Ontario after a mostly wet, windy spring prevented many farmers from applying preplant herbicides.

The potential for spray drift stopped herbicide applications for about a 15-day period in May, particularly in the southwest. As a result, some farmers now face weed control issues, including herbicide resistant weeds.

“We have a battle on our hands,” says Dale Cowan, senior agronomist with AGRIS and Wanstead co-ops. “We have to try to kill those weeds, but because of the weather conditions after planting, we will have to live with some weed escapes. There are very few options.”

That’s but one of the maladies facing Ontario farmers this season, a year that so far can be described as spotty, frustrating and sometimes overwhelming.

For example, areas in the Holland Marsh, one of Canada’s best vegetable producing regions, have been flooded with relentless rain. Farmers there have been pumping their fields to try to salvage crops.

The Peterborough area too, which last year was struck by drought, was likewise soaked with rain.

“It’s 180 degrees from last year,” Cowan says.

It’s not as bad in the southwest. Still, 60 millimetres of rain fell between May 1 and 15, more than 20 millimetres above normal and nearly a month’s worth of rain in 15 days. This rainfall delayed planting on heavy clay and poorly drained soils.

Then into June, rainfall tapered off apprecia-

bly. Normal rainfall is around 84 millimetres, but this year it ranged all the way from 11 millimetres to 83 millimetres.

Nearly 90 per cent of the crop was planted for the first time by end of May. But the weather stopped farmers from planting their last few fields, or wiped out some fields entirely.

Replants began in June on soybeans and finished last week. Cowan says there is a wide range of crop growth stages, even in the same field.

With the large amount of rain, plant disease outbreaks were expected. But the spottiness of the rainfall curbed widespread disease.

THE BIG BEND A short tribute to the Caterers of Blueberry The Big Bend book would not be complete without contribution of the Caterers to the growth and deveopment of Blueberry Mountain.

Margaret (Milldrum) Caterer came to the area with her family in 1918 In the early days, anyone who went to town would pick up the mail, and George Milldrum and his family sorted it at their home where settlers picked it up. Milldrum was named postmaster in 1924, and Margaret was the assistant postmaster. The office continued in the home until a separate building was created to house the post office.

Jesse Caterer came to the area in 1922, marrying Margaret in 1928. Jesse owned one of the first trucks in the district, and by 1954 hit Jesse and Margaret’s farm was chosen by the Experimental Farm Service for an Illustration station and in ‘55 work began. A well -attended field day was hosted every year and the station was closed down by 1970.

In 1975 the pair retired and moved to Vernon for retirement.

These clean duds along with some suds and scrubbing opens the door on a fresh, bright and cheerful feeling. Usually this new cheerful feeling comes with a trip to

the neighbors or town. However, as you go out the door the faithful canine companion is ready to send you off with an exuberant good-bye. He manages to firmly implant paw prints before you traverse to the waiting carriage. Good-bye fresh clean look and cheerful attitude. The trip that looked so promising has now been relegated to an ordinary day. This scenario can be easily pre-

vented with a bit of work on our part. The dog needs to have some class time learning manners.

If the dog is older, using your knee is the easiest way to teach the dog to stay down and not jump up.

As the dog comes towards you {be sure you are facing the dog head on} bend your knee and bring it up towards the sky just as he jumps up. Poshfoning your knee and teg this way causes the dog to run into your knee which is uncomfortable for him. This can be done silently or a quiet verbal reprimand can accompany the discipline action.

The purpose is to allow the dog to understand that jumping up is an undesired approach and it will have uncomfortable consequences.

A young pup can be taught to stay down by firmly pushing him downward using your hand.

The discomfort from hand pressure will usually be enough to discourage him from jumping up.

Often, we teach our pups to jump up without realizing we are doing so as it is a human’s reflective instinct to pick up a cute puppy wher he runs toward us and jumps up. This behavior on our part teaches him that jumping up produces great results. Rather than picldng him up immediately he needs to learn to sit quietly at our feet and then he will be picked up for good behavior.

A dogs manners are a reflection of human actions. We need to discipline ourselves first and then discipline the dog if he is to team good manners.

Keep your farm working even if you can’t What would happen to your farming business if you were disabled by injury or illness? According to Canada’s ombudsman for health and life insurance, one in three people, on average, will be disabled for 90 days or more at least once before they reach age 65.

“If you can afford to retire and you are just working because you enjoy it, then maybe you don’t need disability insurance,” says Bill Allen, a certified financial planner with Sun Life in Regina, Sask. “You might be able to just rent out your land and do just fine financially.”

A personal disability policy can replace up to 85 per cent of earnings from all sources. Traditionally, this was calculated from reported taxable income. Since that doesn’t always work well for farmers, companies have started letting producers include some of the income they have deferred through capital cost allowances.

Farm corporations have additional options they can use to protect themselves if someone who owns at least 25 per cent of the business becomes too sick or injured to perform their normal duties, Allen says. For example, business overhead expense disability ensures the company can always pay its bills. It will cover some employee wages, land rent, utilities, equipment lease payments, scheduled loan payments and interest on a line of credit. Premiums might be tax deductible as a business expense.

You also can take out additional coverage with business loan protector disability if you’ve maximized your business overhead coverage, Allen adds. This type of policy will cover loan payments, but not line of credit, up to the insured amount.

“The costs will vary depending on the quality of coverage,” Allen says. “For example, the definition of disability, how long the income will last and how soon it would start paying out are three ways you can adjust [the costs]. Premiums are

based on risk, so an older person will pay more.”

Critical illness insurance is another option, Allen says. It provides a lump sum payment that can be used as needed if you are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s, stroke, or one of the other covered medical conditions. It could also be used to fully or partially fund buy-sell agreements, and could provide a timely way for companies to pay out a sick or injured shareholder.

Many different insurance options are available for farm operations, and the right product will depend on the size of your farm and the

39

ownership structure. It is valuable to consult with industry professionals. For more information, check out Insurance coverage: How much do you really need?

You’ve put everything into your business – and you have a lot of people depending on its success. But sometimes an accident or untimely death could put your business and your loved ones at risk if you’re not insured with Loan Insurance. It’s flexible, convenient and will give you the confidence of knowing you’re covered.

Spring wheat leads grain market rally

Weather market silly season is now underway. There’s heightened grain price volatility drawn from the June 30 United States Department of Agriculture acreage and grain stocks reports and the Statistics Canada acreage report on June 29.

The release of both reports followed by national holidays both in Canada and the United States results in disrupted market action to start this week.

Of course, weather is the driving influence on markets to the end of June and now starting into July.

Leadership in the overall grain market rally at this time remains unequivocally with spring wheat.

Minneapolis spring wheat futures have charged an astounding $2.40 a bushel higher since this upturn began in mid-May to the American Independence Day holiday on July 4. Hot/dry, drought-like conditions across an expanding territory of the Northern U.S. Plains and now into the southern Canadian Prairies have spring wheat prices hitting new four year highs in aggressive rally action that leads all other grain markets.

On July 4, spring wheat futures are tapping US$8 a bushel. Depending on delivery location on this side of the border, we are now seeing grain company cash bids for new crop No. 1 Canadian Western

Red Spring 13.5 wheat soaring up to C$8.75 to just over $9 a bushel for fall delivery! No one - myself admittedly included - dared think such an opportunity possible two months ago, but that’s the power of a weather market.

Winter wheat futures are also trending higher, but those markets (Chicago and Kansas City) are essentially playing catch-up with Minneapolis. Anecdotal yield and protein numbers for this year’s U.S. winter wheat harvest have varied.

With a parabolic rally in spring wheat well under way, there is plenty of discussion about where the top could be. The honest answer, at this time, is that no can know.

The latest U.S. National Drought Monitor shows drought conditions have worsened across the Dakotas and Montana over the past week, and the forecast offers little hope for meaningful near-term rain relief.

Temperatures climbed to the mid to upper 30 C range in some areas.

In North Dakota, extreme drought (D3) now encompasses 25 per cent of the state, compared to 7.7 per cent last week. In South Dakota, 90.7 per cent of the state is now covered by some form of drought, compared to 83.7 per cent last week and a state of emergency has been declared.

It should be noted that dryness

issues are now creeping up into Saskatchewan. Dryness has been confined mostly to the southwest region of Saskatchewan until now, but the July forecasts suggest a move to warmer/drier conditions into the 14-day outlook across a broader territory to encompass more to the north and east in Saskatchewan and west into southern Alberta.

However at this time, conditions in Western Canada are not as dire as just south of the border.

Still, with emotions and perception hyper-sensitive, much depends on local subsoil, winds and actual temperatures. If the latest forecast bias verifies, timing is poor because crop status across the southern Canadian Prairies would be in its prime reproduction phase - a time of high moisture requirement.

As a result, traders are adding more weather premium into prices, and the dramatic rally has triggered further technical-based buying in the futures markets as well.

It’s impossible to pick tops in such a market condition. As long as sentiment continues to believe the U.S. spring wheat crop is getting smaller, positive price action will continue. But in the next two weeks or so, it will probably be too late to revive crop conditions for U.S. Northern Plains - a time when trader sentiment shifts from “crops

getting smaller” to a realization of “the crop is what it is.”

If crop conditions in Western Canada stabilize this month and the northwest U.S. crop disaster reaches a point where it can’t get any worse because plant vegetative life has expired, perhaps it will be time for this explosive bull market to at least correct lower. But in these wild weather markets, honestly, price trend is up until it stops.

Beaverlodge brings in Sykes to Phil the gaps on the ice A Dawson Creek native has come home to the Peace Country after a long time away. Former NHLer Phil Sykes is the new head coach of the Beaverlodge Blades in the NWJHL. Sykes left the area when he was 18 years old to go play college hockey for the North Dakota Fighting Sioux. He went on to play in the NHL, and then stayed in the states coaching teams at a number of levels, all over the states.

He lived primarily in the Minneapolis area, but his last job was coaching a high school team called the Northwest Icemen, a combination of five high schools in and around Cumberland, Wisconsin.

Sykes decided to return to the Peace to help his sister with caring for his father, and saw coaching the Blades as an opportunity to continue what he had been doing.

“We just had a spring camp, I have no reference point to evaluate the players against and the competition they’ll be facing this season. We do have a assistant coach who was captain of Peace River’s cham-

pion run last year and he felt the nucleus that we decided to bring back can compete.,” explained Sykes.

The Blades return to the ice on August 3rd and 4th for their main camp. They are running camp a week or two ahead of the other teams because they have some catching up to do and Sykes wants to familiarize himself more with the team.

They will have three exhibition games before the season starts.

Sykes is really glad to be back home, and to be coaching young men in the area.

“I literally went for a drive a couple weekends ago, Prince George to Jasper and back, it’s been 40 years since I’ve had an opportunity to see the Pine Pass, such an incredible thing to see. Coaching young me n and young kids is very rewarding. Absolutely every day I learn something from the players and it’s just the best.”

In talking about his NHL career, Sykes said that there are so many influences that it’s tough to decide who influenced his coaching the most.

“Over the years there’s so many different influences, different locker rooms, different coaching staffs, even going to playing in North Dakota,” Sykes said.

He mentioned that he was a huge fan of the late Pat Quinn.

Although he was a member of the Kings when Gretzky was traded there, Sykes left the team 12 games after, and said that his job with the Winnipeg Jets was to chase after Gretzky.

One of the players he was around the most was Marcel Dionne, whom Sykes roomed with.

“It was interesting, he was such a superstar and French Canadian and almost out there on his own island, and I was coming out of college.

He started doing some things and hanging out with the teammates a lot more , it turned out to be a great experience for both of us.” sports@dcdn.ca

46 The Northern Horizon, July 21, 2017

Road trip rewards and a smarter way to ride When I started this little motorcycle media company 14.5 years ago, I dreamed that one day it would be like a TripAdvisor, CAA/AAA, Chamber of Commerce and a Tourism Office all rolled into one.

Well, we are a few steps closer to that happening now.

We have a number of media properties that make up Belt Drive Betty Media: The Busted Knuckle Chronicles, our national weekly newspaper, our TV Show, Ride Like a Local which airs both on EastLink TV and YouTube, our national events calendars, www.canadianmotorcycleevents.com and of course the international news feeds site, www.beltdrivebetty. com We also have the Rider Friendly Directory & the Rider Friendly Support Network.

The Rider Friendly Directory is comprised of all of the Busted Knuckle Chronicles’ advertisers and the various business partners that make it so we can afford to bring the news of our community and the event information to you the rider, FOR FREE. It used to be a part of the Busted Knuckle Chronicles site, but needed to be extricated and put into its own hosting environment.

The same with the Rider Friendly Support Network which used to be part of www.beltdrivebetty.com.

We combined the directory and the support network on one site in these fancy upgraded mobile programs that make it so handy and conve-

nient to find help if you break down on the road, to get the information on where to eat, play and stay like a local = NO APP NEEDED! You can use the directory without logging in, but when you log in, you get access to the social community, the Rider Friendly Support Network and a membership card that offers you a ton of savings and safety supports. Our program is not meant to take the place of your local riding club program, instead it’s meant to augment/add to it.

That is why we do not charge riders for any of the services we provide to them.

Our card is virtual, located in your profile page and therefor never far away.

We have mom and pop businesses that are offering you, the rider 5-15% discounts at their places of business.

We also have some chains like Holloway Lodgings and Choice Hotels offering deep 15% discounts on hotel stays and in the case of Choice Hotels, they are now offering our membership the 15-20% discount along with the chance to earn a $50 gift card when you stay two times by the end of July (you have to register for that) Check out the Special Offers page: https://riderfriendly.com/index.php/for-riders/special-offers Back when we started promoting and listing our advertisers for our national newspaper in a directory fashion, the directory had super limited functionality. Today, the directory offers the

business owner a way to market that is affordable and meaningful to their business and it offers the riders a ton of support and savings!

And now on to our big announcements: Holloway Lodging and Choice Hotels have both joined the Rider Friendly Business Association!

All 34 Holloway properties across Canada are now Rider Friendly offering a 15% discount to our members!

Choice is offering 15-20% discounts right around the world - that’s right all 6,400+ Choice Hotel properties are offering our members a discount!

Use Choice Hotels in the search function to find the one nearest you and use our booking code to get the discount!

Here is the official press release from Choice Hotels Canada: If you are blessed enough to be riding today, please ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you.

If you live in Grande Prairie come on out to our Cruise Night - Motley Cue BBQ will be on hand and there are great prizes up for grabs and a 50/50 draw all in support of the Afghanistan War Monument & Memorial Park.
