Province commits support for B.C. beef packing plant

Breakfast Brief “In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.” – Dalai Lama (Spiritual Leader) Grain Prices Rebound After Two-Day Sell-Off Grain prices this morning are mostly in the green as the complex starts to rebound from this week’s two-day sell-off. Thanks to some early morning travel, this morning’s Breakfast Brief will be a bit shorter and in a slightly different format. As Garrett discussed in yesterday’s Grain Markets Today column (May 30), wheat prices took a bit of a nosedive as profit-taking was accelerating by improving weather prospects. Winter wheat prices lost about 15 cents in both Chicago and Kansas City, while spring wheat prices on the futures board in Minneapolis dropped 16.5 cents. Spring wheat prices are still sitting above $6 USD /bushel though! Corn prices fell thanks to the solid start to the growing season, as mentioned in yesterday’s Breakfast Brief which reported on the weekly USDA crop progress report. Weather in a couple of provinces that have been drying out, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, trended a bit wetter yesterday. There also looks to be more thunderstorms through the weekend across the Canadian Prairies. In the East, 90% of Ontario corn and about 70% of soybeans have now been seeded. Soybean prices continued to pull back with ongoing uncertainty around what sort of trade deal might come out of Beijing this week with US Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, there. For our GrainCents readers, we recently dug into how the Chinese market for food-grade soybeans is evolving. We also looked yesterday at why Ethiopia is an interesting market for peas, lentils, and especially chickpeas. Given some of the elevated geopolitical risk and better weather conditions, watch your email for GrainCents sales recommendation updates over the next week. In Brazil, the Real continues to trend lower against the US Dollar, thanks to the truck driver strike down there. With the strike ongoing, Brazilian cash grain sales stalled; after all, with no trucks to move grain, why sell? The strike has now stopped as a deal has been signed, but even so, farmers in Brazil are waiting for better premiums to increase their sales of soybeans that they just harvested a few months ago.

The Government of British Columbia is supporting further development for a beef packing plant project in northern B.C. that will strengthen the provincial food system. If the Prince George plant becomes fully operational, the North would gain an estimated 80 fulltime, good-paying jobs in the plant by 2020, and an additional 620 spinoff jobs. “I am excited to support the amazing people who work in our ranching sector in the North and throughout the province,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “This project has the potential to ensure B.C. cattle are bred, raised and finished in our province, providing retailers, suppliers, restaurants and consumers with great quality B.C. beef. This can provide an economic boost to rural B.C. and give consumers what they want.” Popham announced a funding commitment of up to $450,000 at the BC Cattlemen’s Association (BCCA) annual general meeting in Smithers on June 1, 2018. The funding will support the next step in the development of the B.C. Beef Packing Plant, a major milestone in the goal of bringing a federally inspected meat packing plant to Prince George.

The next step for the proposed meat packing plant is to develop the partnerships to organize and build the plant. The funding will be used to develop an industry-led co-operative business model, to support B.C. ranchers, and determine what role they could have in the plant’s ownership and operation. A similar co-op was implemented for Ontario’s pork industry. The B.C. beef plant project proponents will be looking at the best practices and lessons learned from that co-op as the plant is developed in B.C. “As beef producers, we know that keeping cattle close to home provides the best opportunity. Having a packing plant here in the province would allow us to market our beef as B.C. beef — something we know consumers want,” said Kevin Boon, general manager, BC Cattlemen’s Association. In 2016, B.C. beef producers brought nearly 174,000 cattle and calves to market, amounting to almost 81,500 tonnes and generating close to $219 million in farm cash receipts. The B.C. cattle industry is primarily cow-calf operations, and located mostly in the ThompsonOkanagan, Cariboo, Nechako and Peace River regions.

Side note: on the FarmLead Marketplace, it doesn’t matter if you’re making spot grain sales, movement over June/July before Harvest 2018 starts, or even new crop 2018/19 sales. Also, you can post grain for sale under many different types of offers: • A straight cash deal; • A basis only (and price the futures later); • A firm offer (this is like a target with the entire market and becoming a popular option); • A delivered deal to a city/town you’re normally selling into; and, • An offer with no price on it (show the amount of grain you’re looking to sell).

The Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is seeking nominations for the 2019 Environmental Stewardship Award (ESA). The ESA recognizes cattle producers whose natural resource stewardship practices contribute to the environment and enhance productivity and profitability. ABP encourages cattle producers to either enter or nominate another producer who is taking

strides towards sound environmental production practices. Nomination forms are available on the ABP website or from the ABP office. The competition is open to all cattle producers. Deadline for nominations is July 15, 2018, and the winner will be announced in December, 2018. For more information, contact Alberta Beef Producers at 403-2754400.

All prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne Market Comments - Corn, feed wheat and barley prices remained stable across the Prairies although ongoing uncertainty in the world wheat markets continues to apply upward pressure on these commodities. Corn DDGS prices remained unchanged to slightly lower depending on truck availability for bringing back product from the US. Protein values (soybean and canola meal) continued to be volatile but ended this pricing period down by $10-15/T across the Prairies. Feed peas and faba beans continued to trade in the 255-260 range in Saskatchewan, 265 in Alberta, and 265-270 in Manitoba. * Models have been updated to reflect the latest nutrient compositions of feed ingredients, which is done periodically.

Feed Pea / Faba Bean Benchmark - The feed pea/faba bean feed benchmarks are intended to be used as a pricing reference. This benchmark provides a consistent and unbiased estimate of the feeding value of peas and low tannin faba beans in the three regions shown. Feed peas and faba beans will trade at various differentials to the benchmark based on local supply/demand, quality differences and other contract terms. Feed Pea / Faba Bean Feed Benchmark Calculation - The feed pea/faba bean feed benchmarks are an estimate of the feeding value of dry peas/low tannin faba beans in Western Canada, based on the value of competing feed ingredients in swine rations. Bi-weekly, tradable prices for the major feed ingredients are collected for the three regions shown above. These prices are then entered into a least cost feed formulation that is typical for grower-finisher swine in Western Canada. A feeding value is then derived for feed peas/ faba beans based on their nutritional characteristics and the prices of the competing feed ingredients. The least cost feed formulation was developed in consultation with the Prairie Swine Centre. In addition to the feed ingredients shown above, the feed formulation also includes canola oil, synthetic lysine, synthetic methionine, synthetic threonine, synthetic tryptophan, mono-dicalcium phosphate, limestone, salt, vitamins and minerals.

The Northern Horizon, June 8, 2018

Agricultural equipment dealers are working with Saskatchewan high schools to find a new generation of employees. Many of the 125 farm dealerships in the province have at least a couple openings for agricultural equipment technicians. “Where dealers use to get people walking in the door looking for jobs, now they are having to go search for them,” says Larry Hertz, vice-president, Canada for the Western Equipment Dealers Association. The association anticipates additional openings in the future as current employees begin to retire. Finding the new generation Discussions started last spring between WEDA and the Sun West School Division to develop an online elective program for Grade 11 and 12 students across the province. The school division now offers the program through its established distance learning centre. The Agricultural Equipment Technician program has three components: 50 hours of online instruction, a 40 hour practical work study at a local agriculture dealership and a two-day boot camp at Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Saskatoon, where the post-secondary training occurs. Attracting student attention Darren Gasper, a Sun West superintendent, says more students are looking at the trades as an alternative to university. “I think students are realizing there are some well-paying careers in the trades,” Gasper says. “They certainly have an appeal for kids that real-

ize that they can get a great career right in their local community. That’s a real plus for them.” The school division held a career fair in Rosetown and more than 40 students expressed an interest in the program and toured a local dealership. Various career opportunities The new course is not restricted to students with farm experience or rural backgrounds. Those with an interest in computers, electronics and new technology are an excellent fit, says Tyson Friend, the service manager at a farm equipment dealership in Outlook, Sask. “There are computer-controlled engines and transmissions, advanced electronics, onboard GPS,” Friend says. “We use computers and diagnostic software to solve problems with all kinds of equipment. In addition to agricultural equipment technicians, dealerships also need parts and sales people. The new course covers all aspects of the business.

Hertz says agricultural equipment dealerships remain a male-dominated industry, but he would like to see that change. “I know well over 50 per cent of students in university agronomy and agribusiness programs are female and I would like to the same thing happen in the farm equipment industry,” Hertz says. Hertz also wants the Saskatchewan program to become a model for school districts throughout North America. Online opportunities The Sun West DLC offers a number of online agricultural-related courses on food production , cow-calf production and equine studies. Bottom line High school courses like the Agricultural Equipment Technician program provide great opportunities to enjoy a fulfilling career at an agricultural equipment dealership while earning an above average income in your local community or in a major centre.Article by: Neil Billinger

Canada’s pork and beef exports climbed higher in 2017 and 2018 looks to be another good year. Canada’s pork exports rose 3.1 per cent to nearly 1.3 million tonnes in 2017, while beef and veal exports increased 5.7 per cent to 380,021 tonnes, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada reported earlier this month. “Data for the first two months [of 2018] shows Canadian beef exports up eight per cent and pork exports up just under one per cent on a tonnage basis,” says Jason Wood, livestock market analyst with Alberta Agriculture. Pork outlook Wood is bullish about Chinese demand for Canadian pork. He explains total Canadian pork exports, including offal, to China broke 300,000 tonnes in 2017, “which more than doubled exports from a few years ago.” “I would agree that China has the greatest potential given the current world trade context,” says Tyler Fulton, director of risk management for Hams Marketing Services. Beef view Wood also likes China’s potential beef appetite. Canadian beef exports to China were up 34 per cent to over $82 million in 2017, and Chinese market access for beef is likely to keep growing thanks to expanded market access for Canadian frozen bone-in beef, and a pilot project for Canadian chilled beef, Wood says. But China isn’t ready to throw its doors open just yet, adds Brian Perillat, senior market analyst of Canfax. China still doesn’t allow for some widely used growth promoting feed additives. Trade Trade negotiations are also being monitored for possible impact on the red meat industry. The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership opens the door to new and emerging Asian markets like Vietnam and Malaysia, and major markets like Japan. And, since the United States is Canada’s top export destination for pork and beef, the NAFTA discussions are of interest, however, Perillat says the U.S. has a strong appetite for beef that Canada currently helps fill, with exports up 14 per cent in volume and 21 per cent in value. Bottom line World demand for Canadian beef and pork is strong and analysts are optimistic about continued strength throughout the year. Article by: Richard Kamchen

Report and recommendations on electoral reform referendum David Eby, Attorney General, has released a report detailing the results of the citizen engagement on electoral reform, which informed his 18 recommendations to cabinet for how the fall 2018 referendum should be structured. The public engagement ran for 14 weeks, ending Feb. 28, 2018, and drew 180,000 visits to the “How We Vote” website, with a record 91,725 questionnaires completed. Another 1,101 questionnaires were completed by a panel selected to represent B.C.’s demographic mix to provide a base for comparison to the website respondents. Substantive written submissions were received by 46 organizations and 208 individuals. The report released today contains a comprehensive breakdown of results, and analysis of the recommendations by the attorney general. “British Columbians made their voices and their values heard, and it

was important we gave them the opportunity to direct how this referendum should work,” said Eby. “This input has provided us a firm footing for the recommendations I am putting forward to cabinet. While the engagement marked a first step in involving the public more meaningfully in our democratic process, ultimately, British Columbians, through the referendum, will determine how we vote in B.C.” The attorney general’s recommendations to cabinet cover all aspects of the fall 2018 referendum, which will decide whether B.C. keeps its current First Past the Post (FPTP) voting system or moves to a system of proportional representation (PR). The report recommends that the referendum ballot include two questions: 1. Which should British Columbia use for elections to the Legisla-

tive Assembly (Vote for only one.):

The current First Past the Post voting system A proportional representation voting system 2. If British Columbia adopts a proportional representation voting system, which of the following voting systems do you prefer? (Vote for the voting systems you wish to support by ranking them in order of preference. You may choose to support one, two or all three of the systems.): Dual Member Proportional (DMP) Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) Rural-Urban PR If a majority of responses to the first question vote to adopt a proportional representation voting system, then responses to the second question would determine which system is implemented in British Columbia. The report’s key recommendations also include that: The referendum campaign period begin July 1, 2018, and end by Nov. 30, 2018. The referendum voting period (by mail-in ballot) run Oct. 22, 2018, to Nov. 30, 2018. The chief electoral officer, who is independent of government,

provide neutral and factual information to voters about the referendum, including voting systems on the ballot. The chief electoral officer select one designated group to advocate on behalf of retaining the current FPTP voting system, and one to advocate on behalf of PR, using a selection process similar to the 2009 referendum on electoral reform. If voters decide to adopt a proportional representation system, a second referendum be held following two general elections, where voters would decide to keep the new system or return to FPTP. The report describes the three proportional representation systems to be included on the ballot, which correspond to the engagement with British Columbians. If a proportional system is adopted, it must include a set of features, including: No significant increase in the size of the legislature. No region of the province having fewer MLAs than it currently has. No political party being eligible to receive a seat if they receive less than 5% of the overall vote in the province or region. Eby presented the report with recommendations to the public, prior to delivering it to cabinet for deliberation.

Planning farm land ownership in Alberta? According to Farm Credit Canada’s Annual Farmland Values Report, values are up 7.3 per cent across the province. “Moving into the growing season, producers may be examining their situation and considering upcoming purchases of farmland,” says Joel Bokenfohr, manager of business structures and financial policy with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF). “With farm land prices continuing to appreciate, a wellresearched financial and ownership plan will guard against ill-prepared land purchases. With the increases it is even more important to do your homework before making a final decision that will be right for both you and the farm.” AF’s webpage has three documents designed to help producers make the decision on a land purchase. These documents are: 16 Questions to Consider before Buying Farmland Why do you want to buy farmland? This question relates to the business plan and overall farm or investment strategy, and should fit with planned goals to expand, bring in a new partner, ensure control of productive acres, etc. Determine if the decision is a business decision or an emotional decision, and if business partners are in agreement. What is the financial condition of the farm business? Consider needed investments, expected expenditures, and crop conditions to determine if buying land is the best use for your cash, or if other opportunities would provide a better return. Be sure that the farm is financially healthy enough to handle the increase in debt and decrease in cash from the proposed purchase. Have you created a pro-forma cash flow? Research the expected revenue of the potential land to determine if the purchase fits into your plans. It is important to confirm that the potential return will meet your goals and objectives, and that the farm can service the additional debt. Know the risk this purchase will put on your current equity. Given your revenue forecast, are you overpaying? If you are paying a premium land price, calculate how long it will be until you recoup your investment. Determine how much debt your farm can prudently service, and the total revenue required to service that debt. Be sure to stay within your limits, land purchase is a long-term commitment and investment. A Legal Guide to Plan Farm Land Ownership and Sale in Alberta What is land - What is included and excluded, forms of ownership and the rights of a landowner. Buying and selling considerations - Are there

restrictions, purchase and sale contracts, methods of selling, whom should I consult about buying or selling, and what are the tax considerations for the buyer and the seller. Understanding the sale process - Determining a price and the terms, listing with a real estate agent, understanding the purchase and sale contract and what are the requirements of a valid sale contract, and understanding the roles and responsibilities of all the professionals involved in the sale. Frequently asked questions - Dower rights, foreign ownership, existing leases, why list with a real estate agent. A Guide to Agricultural Security Agreements in Alberta Land Mortgage - understand the nature of mortgages, registration, priorities and terms. “Buying land is an important investment decision, ultimately affecting the working capital, profitability, and equity of your farm business,” says Bokenfohr. “The more highly levered you are through debt, the greater the impacts of market fluctuations can be to your business. Be sure to scenario plan and use all of the resources available to do your ownership, financial, and cash flow planning. Speak to your banker, your accountant, or your farm advisor. Speak to your lawyer regarding issues that could affect title ownership. A strong purchase plan will aid in making the purchase of land a good investment.” For more information, visit the Farm Manager Homepage or call the Alberta Ag-Info Centre tollfree at 310-FARM (3276).

“Putting feel on the line” when you are Considering the Horse

Having feel, working with feel with horses isn’t something you are born with. Feel is learned over time, if the right circumstances arise, or quicker

with help and the right exercises. Horse would be much happier if we could quickly get some feel. Another way I’ve said it is “Don’t be a big jerk on the end of the line.” The example I often use in clinics is: if you had a ring in your nose, which a lot of people do these days, and I had a rein or lead line hooked to it, how would you want me to handle the rope or rein? It is easy enough to learn, but many do not realize that they are being a big jerks. They are not meaning to, but it accidentally happens over and over again. If, by accident or otherwise, your nose ring got jerked over and over what might your response be? There are a couple of things that we can try to remember when we have a horse on a rope or rein. Practice being able to slide your hands down the rein or rope as well as letting it slide through your hands. The greener the rider is the less often you will see their hands move on the rein. Many just squeeze tighter and pull. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen people come off a horse that turned or stopped because when they went to use the reins they squeezed tight on the rein and then lifted their arms in the air over their head until they got contact. It’s hard to stay on with both your hands above your head. You would look as if you were in a bank hold-up or were lifting your nightie. Above your head is no place for hands when you’re riding. You’ve seen it at times when the hand just gets up under their chin - still too high. Other times someone might get their hands behind the saddle before there is contact, that’s no good either. Hands that are able to slide up and

down the rein are hands that can offer a feel to the horse. Another thing to think about is when you slide your hand down the rein or lead line, pick up all the slack before moving your arm. If there is any slack, drupe or belly in the rope, it is difficult to not accidentally jerk the horse as the rope or rein comes tight. You can try an exercise on yourself or with a friend. You need a lead line. One person hangs onto each end. Leave slack in the line and then move your arm until the rope tightens and you will feel a jerk even when moving your arm slowly. Then slide your hand down the rope until the slack is gone. Hand on top of rope, little finger closest to horse then close your pointer finger, then your middle finger then your ring and finally your little finger and then move your arm. Done correctly the other person feels each finger close and there is a distinct feel on the rope before moving your arm that will eliminate the jerk. Remember if you have a ring in your nose hook the lead line in it and try the two different techniques and you will quickly know which you prefer and which your horse prefers. The better our feel can be, the better results we will achieve with our horses. If they could talk they would thank you for any practice time you put in before going to see them. Putting the horse first makes us better. Happy Horsemanship, Glenn Stewart

Internal worms and creepy crawlers: parasites infecting pets By: Dr. Katrina Barth, DVM Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic Dogs and cats are wonderful companion animals for their human amigos.. but they can also be the preferred host and carriers of other, unwanted, parasite friends! As the sun shines and spring weather flourishes, many folks and their pets are able to finally enjoy the great outdoors again with their pets. However, one many notice creepy crawlers also thaw out from our cold (and extra-long) winter and things, like bugs, can actually exist in our previously very frigid environment too. Parasite infections rise this time of year and it is imperative you protect not only your pet, but yourself as well, so let’s reflect on some parasites and their prevention. Internal parasites that infect animals include roundworms, tapeworms, whipworms and hookworms. These infections can be very serious in dogs and cats, and unfortunately, the worms shed by your pets can even infect you, causing various zoonotic diseases! For young puppies and kittens, these worms often infect the intestines, and are passed from their mother in utero (before birth) or after birth from consuming infected milk, or eggs from the environment. Specifically roundworms can cause a characteristic ‘pot-bellied’ appearance, which represents a large worm burden in a puppy/kitten—stunting their growth, and causing digestive upset. It is imperative to have new puppies/kittens seen by a veterinarian for vaccination and deworming for this reason as they are often infected unbeknownst to their human owners! Infection of roundworm eggs in humans can cause a zoonotic disease, in which larvae to migrate within our bodies to our eyes or liver/lungs, termed “ocular/

visceral larva migrans”. Parasites infecting humans most commonly occurs in kids as they spend more time playing in sand/dirt and with animals. Sometimes worms are not worrisome and zoonotic diseases rare in the Peace Region, but to protect against them, teach children to wash their hands after they play outside, prevent them from eating soil/sand and ensure they are using shoes and gloves when handling soil. Avoid sitting directly on the sand and wash fruits and veggies before consumption too. If intestinal parasites are suspected in your pet, as adult dogs and cats are just as susceptible as young animals, you may see symptoms such as: diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, dehydration, anemia or a poor hair-coat. If diarrhea is chronic and other causes are ruled out, a fecal float may be required to diagnose parasites in the feces, in which eggs and larvae are discerned using microscopic analysis. This can be done at our clinic or sent out to the lab, depending on what type of parasite the veterinarian suspects. Though, in many cases, your pet may not show signs of infection and be shedding microscopic parasitic eggs into the environment via their feces! Summer season is also when external parasites, such as ticks, become more prevalent. Ticks aren’t as common as internal worms in the Peace Region, and pets here are at a low risk of tick-borne diseases, like Lyme Disease, but if travelling outside the area, be aware: heavily wooded, forested areas or areas with tall grass harbor these pesky (and utterly disgusting) bugs, and may jump onto your pet. Fortunately, cats groom often and self-exterminate ticks before they bite, but unfortunately for dogs—especially hunting or working dogs—ticks may attach and

bite, so using tick protection may be warranted. Bravecto is a product specifically for dogs that offers protection up to 12 weeks (basically all of summer, yay). Fleas, lice and mites may also cause itchiness, and result in skin issues; external parasites are often the first thing ruled out in any case of dermatitis, or skin infections! Deworming your pet is vital to prevent the spread of parasites to people, or to other animals. The risk level of your pet, and travel, dictates how often you should have them dewormed. If your pet is a jet-setter, going to areas where heartworm, a parasite transmitted to dogs/cats via mosquitos in places like Ontario, Manitoba and Southern BC, is endemic, or enjoys camping, be cognizant as to what types of critters they could take home! Annual deworming is recommended for pets at a low risk— even indoor cats can be infected by household animal companions who may transfer parasite eggs to them, or by clingy bugs on the bottom of your outdoor shoes. At the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic, we can help you decide what parasite treatment is best for your pet as many tick and deworming medications are available. Other mediations at the pet store labeled for ticks and fleas exist, but as veterinarians we cannot say how safe or well these products work, so we recommend using veterinary labeled products only. If you have further concerns regarding these unwelcome friends, or any other questions about parasites, feel free to stop in or call the clinic! (pictured: roundworms)

It’s a seller’s market for independent red wine grape growers in British Columbia. As B.C.’s wine industry continues to grow, so does the demand for grapes. According to the BC Wine Institute, there are about 280 licensed grape wineries in the province, up from 17 in 1990. Overall, the province is seeing less red grape production by volume. “There’s definitely been increasing demand for the last few years,” says Mason Spink, president of the BC Grape Growers’ Association and winemaker at Dirty Laundry Vineyards in Summerland. Limited red grape land Part of challenge is the finite amount of land in very warm areas suitable to grow red wine grapes. Growing conditions in much of B.C. favour white wine grapes instead. However, Spink explains that when consumers think of visiting a winery, their expectation is sampling white and red wine. “A lot of wineries are seeing increased sales in reds,” Spink says. Spink says price increases are fairly significant. “Two or three years ago, you were probably paying about $2,500 a tonne for reds and now I have seen it as high as $3,200 or $3,300 a tonne for some reds.” Manfred Freese has been growing Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes on five acres near Osoyoos since 2000. “The vineyard I have is very warm. It’s probably one of the warmest sites here,” says Freese, who’s in the middle of a three-year contact with a winery to produce grapes. While he’s not unhappy with his contracted price, he’s aware that it could have been higher. He says predicting the market for red grapes is tricky because red wine usually takes two years to age in oak barrels before it’s sampled and sold. Freese sees a couple other factors contributing to the price increase – the addition of grocery store wine selling and grape overproduction a few years ago that resulted in no price increases for grapes between 2010 and 2015. “In 2014, we had a surplus of grapes and people pulled out. Growers pulled out some of their vines and went back to cherries. Now, things have reversed a little bit and some new plantings have gone in,” he says. Some of the plantings are by wineries themselves to have more control over production. Small wineries also need to increase their production if they want to move to the next level, again requiring more grapes, but land prices are high. Dirty Laundry recently purchased 16 acres of apple orchard a little higher up in elevation at Summerland which they’ll be converting to grapes. Spink points out that some land is selling for as high as $200,000 an acre, and when grapes sell for only $2,500 a tonne, the return on investment is low. However, Spink adds that higher grape prices are good for growers and acceptable for wineries. “We’ll have to charge a little more for our wine, but to keep the industry sustainable, I think we do need to pay our growers a bit more for the resources, so we can have independent growers and they can still make a good living,” Spink says. Bottom line Understanding market conditions and timing sales or contractual agreements takes research and knowledge. As more B.C. wineries open, there may be an opportunity for independent growers to shop around for the best contacts. Article by: Myrna Stark Leader

Dangers of blue-green algae Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) water specialist has a warning about the dangers of blue-green algae. “Blue-green algae is actually cyanobacteria, and can produce toxins that can be very dangerous,” says Shawn Elgert, agricultural water engineer with AF. “It can cause organ damage or even death if ingested by livestock or pets. If you are trying to determine the cause of poisoning, there are other potential toxins on the farm that can also cause damage to cattle such as poisonous plants. An example of this is water hemlock.” Elgert says the first and most important step is to identify the type of growth. “Blue-green algae can look like blue-green scum, pea soup or grass clippings suspended in the water. You should start watching for it when the temperatures increase.” If blue-green algae is suspected in a dugout, it is best to be cautious, says Elgert. “You should contact a water specialist to diagnose the growth to determine if it is potentially a toxic growth. You should also remove your livestock from the water source in the interim and prevent them from accessing it. One rule of thumb is that if you can grab it as a solid mass in your hand, it is not blue-green algae.” If blue-green algae is present, the dugout can be treated using a copper product registered for use in farm dugouts. “Once you treat it, consumption should be restricted for up to a month. The use of copper will break the cells open and release the toxins if present into the water all at once. It’s important that you stop using the water during this time so the toxins can degrade. You can follow up with aluminum sulfate and/or hydrated lime treatments afterwards to remove the nutrients from the water to prevent regrowth.” Elgert says there are also preventative measures that can be taken to try to avoid the problem. “Temperature is an important factor in the growth of blue-green algae, so a deeper dugout with slopes that are not too flat would help make the dugout water cooler.”

Nutrients are required for growth of blue-green algae. “We have information on how to reduce nutrients from entering the dugout in our Quality Farm Dugoutsmanual. Buffer strips and grassed waterways are examples of how you can reduce nutrients. Dugouts should not be built in the waterway, as sediments can bring more nutrients into the dugout and depth can be lost quickly. Aeration of the dugout can also help improve the water quality. Also, a dye packet can be thrown into the dugout to help prevent photosynthesis from occurring, thereby reducing the growth of blue-green algae. However, one action alone may not be enough to prevent growth.” Elgert also notes that the wind can push the blue-green algae into highly concentrated pockets where the risk of harm is higher. “Since blue-green algae can rise or fall in the water column, inspection of the dugout should include peering into the deeper part of the water. Always be safe around the dugout by going along with another person and have a rope with a flotation device attached.” For more information or assistance, contact an AF water specialist at 310-FARM (3276). AF also has a factsheet on this subject entitled Blue-Green Algae (Cyanobacteria) in Surface Water Sources for Agricultural Usage.

“The Cowman’s Choice” R0011493093

The Northern Horizon, June 8, 2018

Plan before moving farm equipment on public roads When it comes to moving farm equipment on public roads, a little planning can go a long way toward preventing accidents. “Farmers should check their route prior to transporting farm equipment to be sure their equipment will fit on all roads and bridges, and to note the locations of power lines especially where they cross over the route or field approach,” says Nicole Hornett, farm safety specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “If equipment is too wide to fit safely into one lane, approaching traffic could clip the machinery or become blocked while crossing a bridge. Equipment that is too tall could come in contact with a power line. Use a pilot or escort vehicle as a guide for large machinery and to warn motorists of oncoming large equipment.”

For the safety of all motorists, it is highly recommended that farmers move equipment during high-visibility daylight hours and during periods of light traffic. “Moving farm equipment on public roads during the least congested daylight hours helps to increase road safety and to avoid frustrations for both farmers and motorists,” says Hornett. “If your route takes you across a rural railway crossing, be aware that some crossings have poor visibility. Always stop and make sure the way is clear before crossing.” Anyone moving equipment, particularly on public roads, should be trained how to operate the equipment. Says Hornett, “Training and orientation are essential for new operators before

heading out onto the roads, as is a refresher and review of the operator’s manual for experienced operators. It takes time for an operator to become familiar with the speed, blind spots, large dimensions and maneuverability limitations of farm equipment.” As well, Hornett says it is important drivers never take extra riders on equipment. “Extra riders on farm equipment are a distraction to the operator and are at risk of falling off the machinery and being run over. Each person in the machine should be secured with a seatbelt.” Farm machinery operators can make road travel safer for themselves and others by observing safety precautions. Travel at a speed that will allow the operator to maintain full control at all times. Slow down when making turns or rounding curves. If needed, pull over when there is a suitable area to allow backed-up traffic to pass. Make sure the area is sufficiently wide and solid enough to handle the equipment. “Once on a public road, obey all traffic laws and signs,” says Hornett. “Always wear your seatbelt and use signal lights when turning. Never use a cell phone while in the process of transporting equipment. The distracted driving law, along with all other rules of the road, is in full effect while driving farm machinery on public roads and highways.” Additional information about visibility requirements and moving farm machinery on public roads is found in Safe Transportation of Farm Equipment in Alberta, the publication available free of charge from Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

CATTLE MARKET REPORT FOR JUNE 8/18

The Northern Horizon, June 8, 2018

Rethink field windbreaks

Changes in farming over the last 30 years has reduced soil erosion through zero tilling, the use of larger equipment, and improvements in technology and crop genetics. Bozic says there is a feeling that windbreaks are not really needed anymore. “However, as this long winter and the spring melt has shown us, surface field run-offs in many parts of the province damaged culverts and bridges, caused roads to wash out, and flooded property. We need

to rethink the importance of field windbreaks.” “Planting new windbreaks needs be considered,” Bozic adds. “They reduce the cost to our infrastructure, increase yields, and provide great environmental benefits to crops.” Field windbreaks work by preventing high winds from blowing snow or water into ditches or onto roads. They are designed to keep and spread snow evenly across the fields. When that snow melts, the moisture soaks in and does not just run off the field. “Choosing particular shrubs or trees, as well as proper spacing, controls the density and height of these windbreaks,” explains Bozic. “The snow is evenly distributed though the field and spring runoff is reduced with a low density windbreak. With higher density planting, the snow will not accumulate evenly. Instead, the snow will be trapped on the leeway side of the windbreak. These dense windbreaks are planted to avoid snow drifting onto roads and highways, to protect livestock, and to recharge our dugouts.” Field windbreaks are also valuable to flora and fauna. Says Bozic,

“Their environmental value is measured by the amount of wildlife species using these areas for food, cover, and shelter protection, as well as many beneficial insects, bacteria, viruses and fungus that greatly contribute to the overall health of our crops.” Bozic adds that he recognizes the inconvenience that windbreaks

could cause with larger equipment, “But, because of technologies like GPS, cameras, and drones, that inconvenience is overstated. I have seen many older windbreaks that function well in large fields with large equipment. Those producers say the benefits outweigh any inconvenience, and that is why they aren’t clearing windbreaks or old natural fences.”

Think field windbreaks no longer serve a purpose in this age of zero till practices and improvements in technology? Toso Bozic, bioenergy and agroforestry specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry explains why there needs to be a rethink about their importance. Previous generations learned that leaving trees along fence lines or in their fields helped reduce soil and water erosion, says Bozic. “After the so-called Dirty Thirties, provincial and federal governments launched incentives for farmers to plant trees. Countless trees were planted around farm yards as well as field windbreaks to keep moisture on the land, avoid snow drifting, protect livestock, as well as to increase crop yields and physically protect sensitive crops from high winds.”

NEWS FROM THE GROUNDBIRCH 4-H MULTI CLUB (SUBMITTED BY CLUB REPORTER, ASHLEY HARTNELL) Hunter Jacklin Clipping Clinic On May 20th, the Groundbirch 4-H Multi Club held a field day/clinic at Shellie Wolfe’s farm north of Dawson Creek. The field day started with a clipping clinic lead by Hunter Jacklin, who began the course with an instructional session followed by a hands-on demonstration. Following Hunter’s demonstration, the members used the information they had just learned to start clipping their project animals. The senior members took the lead by helping out the club’s younger members. After the clipping was done, we all took in a potluck lunch while enjoying the beautiful day. Lunch was followed by a weigh-in of the project animals and then pictures to be used in the sale-day catalogue.

Raquel Isaac of the Kleskun 4-H Multi Club would like to thank

For the support of 4-H through the purchase of her steer

Do you know where your food comes from? Traceability makes the connection It is a fascinating journey. As an agriculture product moves through the food production system, there are many British Columbians who have worked hard to get that product on the shelf, so it is proudly displayed for consumers at the local farmers market, fishmonger or grocery store. Traceability systems closely follow the movement of animals, plants, food products or ingredients through all points of production, from the original source to the consumer. Traceability is paramount in the protection of animal health, public health and food safety. The Traceability Knowledge Transfer program, funded under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, is now available to agriculture and seafood industry organizations, to educate their memberships about traceability systems, practices, infrastructure and technologies, through events such as workshops, seminars, presentations or demonstrations. Reimbursement funding is available to support traceability speakers at key indusCall us today

try events for B.C. agriculture and seafood organizations, focusing on one or more of the following traceability components: General traceability Premises identification Movement reporting Product identification The funding supports up to 100% of costs associated with the traceability speaker’s expenses, to a maximum of $3,500 per event, or $10,000 per sector. Funding is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications and program criteria are available at: https://www2.qa.gov.bc.ca/ gov/content/industry/agriculture-seafood/programs/traceability-knowledge-transfer The program will run for the duration of the five-year Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a federal-provincial agreement that includes $2 billion in costshared strategic initiatives delivered by the provinces and territories, and $1 billion for federal programs and services through March 2023.

Consider Creep feeding calves for the summer grazing season

Emerson Trail & Range Road 62, Sexsmith, AB

LEARN MORE >

The potential of hotter and dryer weather across Alberta could create issues with pastures and forage crops this summer. Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre, explains how creep feeding calves could be part of the solution. “Stress on plants from last summer and fall, as well as this spring’s weather across most of Alberta has slowed forage growth in pastures and hay fields,” says Yaremcio. “If it stays dry, the amount of growth will be limited, and it is possible that pastures will run out much earlier than normal. In general, 70 per cent of total forage growth occurs before July 15. If significant amounts of

rain do not come soon, total growth could be compromised.” One strategy to stretch limited forage supplies is to creep feed calves throughout the summer. Calves that are 45 to 60 days old can digest grains and use the nutrients to improve growth rates. Says Yaremcio, “An Ontario Ministry of Agriculture factsheet indicates that on poor pastures, for every 5 pounds of creep feed consumed, calf growth rates improve by 1 pound. A second advantage of creep feeding calves is that the amount of grass consumed by the calf is reduced which stretches the amount of grass available for the cow.” Yaremcio adds,

“Ohio State University Extension found that calves under 700 lb. eat grain slowly and chew the material sufficiently that processing is not required.” Average daily gain and feed conversion efficiency is equal to that of processed grain. Using whole oats or barley as the sole ingredient in a creep ration for small calves does not work, explains Yaremcio. “A creep ration requires 14 to 16 per cent protein to “frame out” the skeleton properly and to develop muscle. Intakes generally are in the 2 to 3 lb. per day range for 350 lb. calves and can get as high as eight pounds per day when the calves are 600 to 700 lb.” “A recipe for a home grown creep feed is to include peas at 35 per cent of the mix with oats or barley, or a combination of the two grains,” says Yaremcio. “Check local grain prices to determine if the mix is less expensive than a commercial product.

Western grain markets nervously watch for rain springs, the current situation is record-setting. Phillips explains that since last autumn, soils recharge, rebuilding moisture, as are the lakes and reservoirs, so there is a reserve during the warmer months. “But this dry period, this drought, whatever you want to call it, began back in October,” Phillips says. “It really stopped precipitating in October. The recharge this year has been the worst in history, which means the situation is potentially more disastrous.” OK, that sounds rather perilous, and I can understand grower reluctance to undertake forward contract pricing of new crop production given that level of uncertainty. If - and when - it rains Much depends not only on if, but also when rain comes. If no notable rain falls in the next two weeks in the drier areas, serious concerns would emerge as temperatures are not on the rise, which in turn could damage plant count with uneven germination. In speculative terms, the area of concern of Western Canada percentage-wise encapsulates about a quarter of the canola, spring wheat, oats areas; about half of the flax, 10 per cent of peas, 20 per cent of durum, and 90 per cent of the Prairie region’s soybeans. In extending the outlook, Ac-

cuWeather’s summer forecast for temperatures across most of Alberta and Saskatchewan and a small portion of western Manitoba are expected to be above normal. As well, precipitation is forecasted to be below normal in essentially the same areas - mainly central Saskatchewan - that suffered through drought last summer. AccuWeather says the ongoing drought over the southern Prairies is expected to worsen through the summer. Additionally, an above average number of hot weather spells, especially during the second half of the summer, are forecasted across Alberta and Saskatchewan. A hot, dry summer could be problematic for Prairie producers given that last year’s drought already depleted subsoil moisture reserves. With exhausted subsoil moisture, this year’s crops could be especially vulnerable to potential dryness. Markets calibrate The lack of subsoil moisture across the southern half of the Prairies is going to make for a potentially tense growing season. Grain markets will be calibrating Canadian growing conditions into the global crop production

picture. With the early stages of the 2018 Western Canadian growing season now under way, the slightly later than normal start to planting should be caught up by the end of the month. At that point, approximately half of Western Canada will likely be characterized to be in good or okay conditions, about a quarter shall be needing rain badly (an area that likely suffers weaker germination), while crops across the final 25 per cent of the region nervously limp along. The lack of subsoil moisture across the southern half of the Prairies is going to make for a potentially tense growing season where timely rains will be regularly required. Bottom line It’s too early to push any panic buttons, but a drier than normal winter and spring across much of the Canadian Prairies could be a precursor to a dry summer growing season.

The North American crop outlook is certainly not perfect. Stateside, spring planting delays are happening across the western side of the upper American Midwest, though for every acre of planting delayed, there are two more off to a great start. Rains moved across the United States’ corn belt earlier this week, stalling fieldwork and benefitting recently planted crops. Rain is forecasted to be frequent at least until the end of May, but traders are not overly concerned about U.S. planting progress. Long-mounting dryness Meanwhile on the Canadian Prairies, previous to the general sweep of precipitation late last week across the region, dryness issues have been mounting. Here in Manitoba, the Winnipeg Free Press ran a story last week noting the city’s drought has created bone-dry, tinder-like conditions. Ongoing since the beginning of April, the drought is now officially in the history books as one of the top five driest starts to the spring season. Such problems extend across Manitoba and into eastern and southern Saskatchewan. Even with rain potential in the forecast for later this week, dryness issues are not about to go away. Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips says while this region has experienced drier

Early season weed control has many benefits; as weeds will compete “Research on weeds germinating before the crop emerges as compared to crop emerging before the weeds shows a very significant drop in yield loss when the crop emerges prior to the weeds,” says Harry Brook, crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “A pre-seed burnoff with a herbicide or final cultivation should be as close to the seeding activity as possible to prevent weeds getting the jump on the crop.” All crops have a critical weed control period, which is the time when the crop is susceptible to significant yield loss from weed competition. The critical weed control period for canola is around 17-38 days after emergence. Peas can be as early as two weeks after emergence. “Other, more competitive crops, like the cereals, have a less defined critical period,” says Brook. “Corn’s critical period depends more on nitrogen availability than anything else. If you can keep the weed pressure down until the critical period is passed, you minimize yield losses from weed competition.” Field scouting is essential to giving an edge battling weeds, notes Brook. “Field scouting tells you what weeds are present and their density. Once a field has been scouted and a weed problem identified, the degree of threat needs to

be assessed. An example of an early, non- yield threatening weed is whitlow grass. It’s a very slow growing, small plant that bolts and goes to seed, usually before seeding. It’s not a direct threat to the crop. However, if other weedy plants are also present in sufficient numbers and are a threat to yield, you can choose an appropriate control measure.” Winter annual weeds like stinkweed, narrowleaved hawk’s-beard, shepherd’s purse, scentless chamomile, and many others can start growing in the fall. They overwinter as a small rosette but are then quickly able to go to seed once spring arrives. “Control of them in the spring requires very early action. You need to know the weeds present to choose the best control method. Crop volunteers from previous years are also an increasingly problematic weed obstacle. Volunteer canola is one of our top weed control issues every year. These and other problem weeds will require additional products when applying a spring burnoff with glyphosate.” To get the best result from any early herbicide application, Brook says the herbicide must be applied when the weeds are actively growing. “Under cool or cold conditions you can expect poor results from the spray as the target weeds are either dormant or growing too slowly. They

REMINDER:

cannot absorb and translocate enough active ingredient to kill them. Weeds also have to be large enough to absorb enough herbicide to be killed, yet not too large to have already affect crop yield from competition. Low spray volumes and coarse sprays can lead to insufficient herbicide landing on the plants. Best temperatures for application should ideally be above 12 to 15 C, when the plants are actively photosynthesizing. If it was frosty in the morning, waiting until a warm afternoon will improve efficacy.” Another tool in the weed control toolbox is the competitive nature of the crop itself. “Highly competitive crops can reduce the effects of weeds on yield. Once a crop canopy has covered the soil, sunlight no longer can penetrate to the ground and weeds stop germinating,” adds Brook. “Heavier seeding rates can also squeeze out weeds. Hybrid canola and barley are our two most competitive crops. You still have to choose a competitive variety. Semi-dwarf barleys are less competitive than regular barleys. Heavier seeding rates always increase the crop’s competitive nature against weeds. Thin crops allow light to hit the ground, stimulating more weed growth.” For more information, contact the Alberta AgInfo Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

Collie Corner By Carol Nelson

Can working dogs be loose in the yard? by Carol Nelson For the majority of people who want a working dog they are basically looking for help with chores and the moving of stock. While this requires good listening and obedience from the dog it is not usually too serious if they take an extra step here or there after they receive instructions. With this being said, there is certain requirements expected from the dog and these take a process to reach. A young pup will gain many benefits running free in the yard as he grows. He will learn to be bold and curious and rely upon his own initiative while experiencing his surroundings. A pup learns to take tumbles, explore and look forward to humans appearing and making a fuss over him. This is a good time to help him climb stairs, ride in a vehicle and partake of all the other daily activities that happens in life. Going with the handler and being around livestock at this age is also appropriate if the handler makes sure to keep the pup safe and away from harm. As the working instinct kicks in the pup will start to chase or herd the stock depending on what his instinct dictates. Usually his first moves will start tentatively and then build as he gains confidence and realizes that the stock will move away the closer he gets to them. Once he starts to gain confidence he will start following the stock farther away from the handler and usually pick up speed. When this happens, it is time to confine the pup for a while or he will start going to stock on his own. There is a time space here of about a year when a young dog cannot be left to his own devices or

SADDLE HILLS TRAILER SALES 1.800.340.1192

his instinct will tell him to go to stock regardless of what or where the handler is. If the handler cannot be supervising the pup, then it needs to be contained and prevented from going to stock by himself. I say about a year but this varies with how strong the working instinct and how the dog and handler spend their days. If the dog is being trained every day and is generally with the handler while having good obedience such as lying down and waiting as the handler goes about his jobs, then the dog will be used to watching and paying attention to the handler. If the dog is with the handler but allowed to run around and do his own agenda, then he will tend to go find stock on his own. Handler awareness with consistent supervision is the biggest determining factor in how quickly the pup matures and becomes responsible enough to turn loose in the yard.

Weed control methods; herbicides not always the best method Although herbicides are the most common control measure for weeds, they are not always the best method to control some weeds. Other methods that are available have their place. “Depending on the circumstances, cropping systems or crop types (row crops), cultivation is still a valid way to kill weeds,” says Harry Brook, crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “Biological controls are being developed and registered that can target specific problem

weeds. A crop rotation with a mix of spring and fall seeded crops can also be effective in managing problem weed populations. Heavy crop plant populations, seeding early, silaging the crop, and patch control are all options available for weed control. Weeds must be immature enough to be controlled by the method you choose. Once weeds have gone to seed, the damage to crop yield has been done and you end up with a bigger weed seed bank in the soil.”

Brook says it is important that weeds are dealt with as soon as possible. “There are many methods that help to reduce the effects of weeds on crop yield. Use all of the tools in the week control toolbox, and don’t restrict yourself to using only herbicides. Most important, however, is no matter the method you choose, deal with weeds while they are small and easy to control to best preserve your crop yield.”

AB livestock and the Census of Agriculture for Canada What did the most recent Census of Agriculture for Canada discover about livestock in Alberta? Austin Leitch, research analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, takes a closer look at the data and compares the differences between the 2016 and 2011 census years. First off, says Leitch, “Statistics Canada defines a census farm as an agricultural operation that produces at least one of the following products intended for sale: crops, livestock, poultry, animal products, or other agricultural products such as Christmas trees, greenhouse or nursery products, honey and others.” Key highlights include almost 20,000 Alberta farms reported having cattle and calves on May 10, 2016. “That was just over a 9.0 per cent decrease from 2011,” says Leitch. “However, of those farms, 5.2 million animals were reported, an increase of 2.0 per cent from 2011 to 2016. Alberta farms reported more than 41.5 per cent of the national total of cattle and calves, an increase from just under 40.0 per cent in 2011.” More than 1.6 million calves were reported in 2016 in Alberta, an increase of over 3.0 per cent from 2011. Beef cows reported also increased 3.0 per cent, from just over 1.5 million in 2011 to almost 1.6 million in 2016. Alberta farms reporting pigs increased by more than 41.0 per cent or more than 1,200 in 2016, an increase from 857 in 2011. The number of pigs reported also increased from almost 1.4 million in 2011, to about 1.5 million in 2016.

56253

The number of farms reporting hens and chickens in the province increased by 27.0 per cent in 2016 to almost 4,000. There were just over 3,000 such farms in 2011. More than 14.0 million birds were reported in 2016, an 18.0 per cent increase from 2011. The number of turkeys reported also increased in 2016, up almost 9.0 per cent to about 770,000 birds. Almost 1,700 farms reported sheep and lambs, about 4.0 per cent less than in 2011. More than 195,500 animals were reported on those farm, a decrease of just over 3.5 per cent from 2011. The number of farms reporting goats increased by 3.0 per cent to 963 farms in 2016, up from 933 in 2011. “However,” adds Leitch, “The number of animals decreased by more than 3.0 per cent to just under 28,000 animals reported. Farms reporting bison decreased by just over 22.0 per cent in 2016 to 445 farms.” Alberta farms reporting horses and ponies decreased just over 14.5 per cent to under 13,000 farms. The number of animals also decreased, down 22.0 per cent, or around 108,700 animals. Farms reporting colonies of honeybees increased more than 83.0 per cent to 708 farms in 2016, up from 386 in 2011. The number of colonies of honeybees also increased to more than 29.0 per cent in 2016, or just under 305,000 colonies. Statistics Canada classifies farm types according to the predominant type of production using the North American Industry Classification

System (NAICS). “This is done by estimating the potential receipts from the inventories of crops and livestock reported on the questionnaire,” explains Leitch, “And then determining the product or group of products that make up the majority of the estimated receipts.” Beef cattle ranching farms, including feedlots, represented 97.0 per cent of the cattle ranching farms in Alberta. “That number increased by more than 2.0 per cent, or almost 12,300 farms in 2016, from just over 12,000 farms in 2011,” adds Leitch. Dairy cattle and milk production farms decreased about 15.0 per cent from 485 farms in 2011 to 411 farms in 2016, representing about 3.0 per cent of Alberta cattle ranching farms. In 2016, 166 hog and pig farms were reported, down by almost 14.0 per cent from 2011. The number of sheep and goat farms also fell by more than 19.0 per cent, to almost 400 farms in 2016. Over that same period, poultry and egg production farms increased by 10.0 per cent to 373 farms. Farms reporting horse and other equine production fell 20.5 per cent in 2016 to just over 3,100 farms, but, says Leitch, “Alberta remained the highest reporting province in Canada.”
