Survey reveals impact of grain backlog on producers FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 9, 2014

by Trudy Kelly Forsythe FCC Market Insights recently released the findings of an FCC Vision survey it conducted in early April with more than 800 Canadian cash crop producers.

The survey was done to determine the impact of the recent grain backlog and to offer recommendations to help growers move forward.

Key findings of the survey revealed a far-reaching impact.

Eight in 10 (81 per cent) Prairie producers said the current grain backlog is having a negative impact on their operation. Despite contracting nearly half of the 2013 harvest, the average producer has the majority of the crop (58 per cent) still sitting in the bins.

Moving grain early helped ease the pressure, with some producers indicating the timing of delivery in their contracts determined how they were

impacted. Producers not impacted by the grain backlog moved nearly twice as much of their harvest before November (25 per cent) compared to producers who are negatively impacted (13 per cent).

As one Saskatchewan producer said in the survey, “We were warned already in August-September that we would not get all of the 2013-2014 crop moved.

When we came from the previous year where it was an inverted market, a lot of producers didn’t believe that it could change that quick and they weren’t in touch with the marketplace.”

Purchasing plans are severely altered for the 2014 season, with over one quarter (26 per cent) of producers’ crop input financing plans altered in the short-term. In the long term, many producers, including 60 per cent of large producers -- defined as those with $1 million or more in gross annual sales receipts -- are considering adding more permanent storage facilities as a result of the backlog.

“What this survey shows is that, despite the difficulties of the backlog and the negative impact it’s had on producers, there’s an opportunity to learn from it,” Graeme Crosbie, Insights Specialist at FCC’s Market Insights team says.

“Learning from it can mean different things for different producers, anything from learning what kind of financing

is available for adding storage space to learning where producers can get the best information regarding market signals.”

Slightly Worse Than Expected

Trade panel topples vegetable oil ban FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 9, 2014

by Christina Franc with files from the Canadian Press Quebec’s restrictions on certain margarines, coffee whiteners and dessert toppings go against the panCanadian Agreement on Internal Trade, according to an April 30 ruling by a dispute resolution panel.

Saskatchewan requested, with support from British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba, that the trade agreement panel investigate Quebec’s restrictions on the sale of dairy substitutes in the province. The Western provinces allege the restrictions impede interprovincial trade and favour dairy producers and processors in Quebec over producers and manufacturers of oilseeds in other provinces.

According to the panel report, Quebec argued their restrictions were in line with the Codex Alimentarius general standard for use of dairy terms, established by the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in

1963. Quebec also argued the ban protects the choice of customers.

The panel reviewed the case in January and released its decision last week. It ruled that Quebec must cease enforcement and repeal or amend restrictions that prohibit the production, sale and marketing of vegetable oil food products by Dec. 31, 2014 at the latest.

A news release from the Agreement on Internal Trade stated Quebec may appeal the panel decision, which could take several months to review.

The Vegetable Oil Industry of Canada applauded the decision, confident it would be upheld in an appeal.

“The elimination of Quebec’s restrictions will open a new national market for innovative, healthful products for Canadian consumers,” says Sean McPhee, president of VOIC in a news release.

VOIC requested Saskatchewan put in the challenge after Alberta won a similar case against Ontario in 2011.

Emergency Preparedness Week AGRI-NEWS MAY 12, 2014

Emergency Preparedness (EP) Week runs from May 4-10 and is a national awareness initiative and a collaborative event undertaken

by Canada’s emergency management organizations in supporting activities at the local level.

“These activities are undertaken in concert with Public Safety Canada and partners,” says Doug Forge, emergency management officer, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Edmonton. “EP Week encourages Canadians to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face a range of emergencies.”

The three steps are to know the risks, make a plan and get an emergency kit.

“In Canada, we face a number of natural hazards, which can vary from region to region,” says Forge. “Knowing what to do is an important part of being prepared. Find out about risks in your area and how to prepare for different situations.”

Having an emergency plan will save time and make situations less stressful.

“A good plan should be simple and have a step-by-step method to respond to a situation. If an emergency happens in your community, it may take emergency workers some time to reach you.

You should be prepared to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of 72 hours.”

The third step is get an emergency kit.

“You may have some

of the items already, such as food, water and a battery operated or wind-up flashlight,” says Forge.

“The key is to make sure they are organized and easy to find.”

We’re starting to see planting conditions improve as field activity is increasing on both sides of the border.

Tensions in Ukraine remain relatively high as proRussian separatists are amplifying their voice in noneastern parts of the country, such as Odessa, which is Ukraine’s third-largest city and a major grain export port. The U.S.D.A.’s May W.A.S.D.E. report showed that they’re expecting significant decreases in production in Ukraine. On the flipside, the government agency is expecting U.S. crop production in 2014/15 help replenish domestic stocks but also reinforce global supplies as other countries see lower output. While the 2013/14 carryout for corn and soybeans came in below pre-report expectations at 1.146 billion and 130 million bushels respectively, 2014/15 ending stocks for the two majors are seen growing significantly to 1.726 billion and 330 million bushels. If the predicted El Nino event surfaces late this summer, it could prove positive for the U.S. corn crop though. On that note, Environment Canada is forecasting a bigger chance of a cooler May, June, & July for most of the Canadian Prairies. While they admit there is some chance for warmer temperatures too, it’s less likely that scorching Celsius numbers will be seen (you should still be able to get that farmer’s tan though!).

Statistics Canada put out the March 31st grain stocks report and wouldn’t you know it, there’s a lot of Canadian grain available. Total wheat inventories totalled 21.25 million tonnes, up 47 per cent from a year ago, while available canola came in at a whopping and new all-time high of 9.02 million tonnes, way up from last year’s number of 4.53 million tonnes. All cereal grains supply is notably higher while decreasing available stocks is seen in rye (-39 per cent to 80,000 tonnes), canaryseed (-54 per cent to 39,000 tonnes), soybeans (-13.6 per cent to 1.2 million tonnes), lentils (-41 per cent to 648,000 tonnes).Granted, this numbers have likely dramatically changed since the survey was taken as railroad movement has improved thanks to the government’s prodding. U.S. railroad company Burlington Northern is spending one billion dollars in its Northern Corridor states, including $560 million for North Dakota and Montana (this is important for Canadian grains’ access via railroad into the U.S.).

One of the grains we’re seeing going across the border more is wheat as the U.S. winter crop is having a heck of time developing. However, the U.S. is not the end of the line when it comes to wheat production and Informa Economics recently put their 2014/15 world wheat crop estimate at a record 713 million tonnes, despite smaller crops forecasted for Russia, Ukraine, & the U.S. (the U.S.D.A.’s estimate is 697 million tonnes comparably). One region seeing pretty good conditions right now though is the E.U. with crop development ahead of schedule (especially wheat and rapeseed).

Combine this with the large carryout here in Canada and what looks to be a trendline crop coming off in the Prairies, it unfortunately sets up more a bearish scenario through til next spring versus anything definitively bullish. Of course, keep in mind that this is all speculative as we’ve barely put any seed even into the ground and any poor weather could quickly change this outlook.

Spring warm up for stored canola AGRI-NEWS MAY 12, 2014

Canola to be stored on farm through summer will be safer if warmed up before outside temperatures get hot.

“The goal is to reduce the temperature differential between stored canola and the outside air,” says Angela Brackenreed, agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada. “This reduces the amount of moisture movement within the bin, and can prevent the concentration of moisture that can lead to spoilage and heating.”

Cold grain should be turned or aerated to raise the grain temperature to between 5°C and 10°C. Joy Agnew, a grain storage researcher with the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI), says now is a good time to warm up dry grain. “If you use air that is more than 10°C warmer than the grain, the air will lose its ability to hold its moisture as soon as it hits the cool grain. This means it will condense on the grain and possibly freeze — which would cause major airflow issues,” she says.

Agnew recommends turning the grain after it has been warmed. “If possible, entirely empty the bin and put it into another aeration bin,” she says. “If this is not pos-

sible, pull out several loads and put them back on top of the same bin. The goal here is to try to mix the grain to help even out the temperature variations and help warm up the grain a bit more.” She recommends that stored canola remain below 15°C. The larger the bin, the greater the risk of spoilage if canola is not warmed. “Bins larger than 5,000 bushels are more susceptible to moisture migration because there will be a greater temperature differential between the outer edge and the core of the bin,” Agnew says.

Canola that went into the bin with moisture above 10 percent, even above eight percent, deserves extra attention this time of year. “Tough canola is at much higher risk, and it should be dried if it can’t be delivered right away,” Brackenreed says.

A hot air dryer will do the job quickly.

Natural air drying with aeration fans can also work, but the ideal conditions for this technique are when outside air temperature is higher than 15°C and humidity is lower than 65 percent.

Agnew adds that canola dried with a hot air dryer should be cooled to 15°C for storage.

Market Focus: Cold, slow start to seeding FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 9, 2014

by Mike Jubinville of Pro Farmer Canada Seeding is progressively, though slowly, getting underway in much of the southern regions of Western Canada and it’s expected to pick up speed over the next week to 10 days.

It looks like another slow start to spring, similar to last year. Still, a lot of areas in the Prairies did not have quite nearly the same amount of snow cover as seen last year.

Temperatures have been fairly similar -- below normal through most of April and into the early part of May -- and that trend doesn’t seem to be changing.

The nearly persistent cold continues to slow farm fieldwork and keeps soil temperatures low, which will likely delay when full scale seeding can begin.

During April, temperatures were again below normal across the region, ranging from one to three degrees below normal across Alberta to as much as three to five degrees below normal across Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The recent episodes of rain and snow along with cloudy weather, have done us no favours since we need more sun to help raise soil temperatures. Unfortunately, the news is not great for the near future either, with another period of mostly cloudy, cool and damp weather likely through the early part of this week.

Where’s the Progress?

In terms of fieldwork, not surprisingly, the furthest ahead are parts of southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan -- especially the southwestern corner of Saskatchewan. Those areas are now seeing some seeding going on. In the next week or so, those areas should probably see good progress as long as they don’t receive too much rain, which is forecasted for this week.

In the central and northern Prairies, it’s rather slow going right now. Most of the fields are too wet and soil temperatures are too cool to make significant progress. We expect activity will pick up rather significantly during the next week to 10 days.

Here in Manitoba, on the eastern side of the Prairies, cold, wet weather has slowed the start of the growing season.

There’s been some limited seeding progress made in the southwest and central regions of the province, while warm, dry weather is needed in all areas to get things rolling.

The growth of winter cereal crops has been slow due to the cool temperatures, and while crops are breaking dormancy, it’s a bit early to comment on winter survival and crop establishment rates.

Soil moisture reserves are reported to be fairly good this year. Dryness has been a concern in the northern Prairies and, while there wasn’t a lot of snow cover to begin with, precipitation picked up in the latter part of winter. The good rains in the early spring that moved into the northern and central Prairies significantly improved the situation.

Why so cold?

There remains a strong blocking pattern across the Northern Hemisphere and weakening is only expected to be slow during the coming weeks, according to DTN meteorologist Doug Webster.

Also, there continues to be an upper level high forecast for northwest and northern Canada which leads to cool surface high pressure across western and northwestern Canada and a southward displacement of the main polar jet stream.

For the Canadian Prairies, Webster contends that these two factors combine to bring cool air southward from the north from the surface high, while the now more active jet stream coming inland from the Pacific along the American/Canadian border supplies episodes of wet weather.

We can only hope that the future turns out like last year when a pitiful weather pattern that lasted well into May eventually gave way to a very favourable pattern for summer crops.

Will our luck be good two years in a row? Only time will tell, but some of the model forecasts are not so optimistic.

The May forecast continues to show more of what we have been dealt lately.

A generally cool weather regime is forecast to continue for Western Canada, along with the seasonal increase in precipitation. The first look at June is not so good either, with an early take being cool and sometimes damp for the Western Canadian crop zones.

Webster says forecasts of an impending El Nino event developing this summer would most likely help our situation if one were to get going.

The problem is that the high latitude blocking patterns we have endured during the past 14 months appear to be more dominant and have a greater impact on our weather than the tropical ocean oscillations. The key is likely associated with how fast the polar blocking patterns last and when they weaken enough to allow for more warmth.

Egg program updated FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 9, 2014

by Allison Finnamore Canada’s egg industry is implementing an all-in-one certification program that includes food safety, traceability and animal care.

The federal government made the recent announcement of $100,000, via the AgriMarketing program of Growing Forward 2, going to the Egg Farmers of Canada to integrate its existing assurance systems into a single program. The new program will be the national quality code for eggs.

The streamlined program will provide egg producers and graders with an all-in-one certification program.

Once implemented, the federal government says the code could enhance the competitiveness of the poultry sector by strengthening its capacity to make credible and verifiable claims.

“This new quality assurance system will help industry meet growing consumer expectations and will enhance the competitiveness of the industry overall,” says agriculture minister Gerry Ritz.

There are about 1,000 registered egg producers in Canada. In 2012, egg farms generated $880 million in total farm cash receipts.

Advice offered for battling late blight risk of spore survival and distribution • cull piles may need to be desiccated by spraying with a top killer if growth occurs • minimize the number, size and depth of cull piles to encourage easy spreading and freezing in winter • killing potato tops can help to minimize tuber infection, as this encourages tuber skin set and stops top growth • tubers can be harvested a couple of weeks after the tops are killed • tubers should be heavily graded and culled before storage in an attempt to prevent entry of the disease into storage.

Alberta has struggled with late blight for the past three years following years of late blight-free status -- a status only briefly interrupted in the early 2000s when one outbreak came and went.

“What we are doing is trying to help people understand what late blight looks like, what it might do and what we can do to minimize the impact on our farm and other growers in the area,” Spencer says. “How can we eliminate the disease so we can return to late blight free status?”

FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 9, 2014

by Trudy Kelly Forsythe Alberta’s potato industry continues its aggressive attack on late blight.

An extensive awareness and education campaign targeting industries, businesses and the public is underway.

The posters, information brochure and frequently asked questions document are the latest additions to the education campaign.

Rob Spencer, a commercial horticulture specialist with the provincial government, says given the wet conditions and repeat appearance of the disease in recent years, they expect late blight will be back this season.

“Late blight is a community disease, and will require the concerted efforts of everyone to get rid of it.”

The department offers the following advice for dealing with potato cull piles or diseased materials: • infected plant material should be disposed of as soon as possible after detection, either by burying or freezing • if infected crop debris is composted, or for cull piles, cover with a tarp or soil until it has frozen to minimize the

George Richardson, patriarch of prominent Winnipeg family, dies George Taylor Richardson, the patriarch of the powerful Winnipeg-based Richardson family, died on Wednesday. He was 89 years old.

For nearly three decades, Richardson was president and CEO of James Richardson & Sons, Limited, one of the oldest privately-owned companies in Canada.

“The shareholders, directors, personnel and retirees of James Richardson & Sons, Limited and its affiliated companies are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of George Taylor Richardson. He was a proud Manitoban and a proud Canadian,” a company statement reads in part.

A private family service will be held, according to the company.

The Richardson family has been synonymous with the grain industry in western Canada from the early days of settlement. James Richardson came to Canada from Ireland in 1823, starting in Kingston, Ont., with a tailor shop. He eventually went into the grain business and with his two sons formed James Richardson and Sons in 1857.

George Richardson, who was president and CEO of James Richardson & Sons Ltd. for nearly three decades, died on Wednesday. He was 89 years old. (Manitoba Museum) George T. Richardson was the greatgrandson of the company’s founder.

He was also a Canadian Governor of the Hudson’s Bay Company from 1970 to 1982 and was influential in the decision to transfer extensive archival collections of the company to the Archives of Manitoba.

Jim Carr, former president and CEO of the Business Council of Manitoba, said Richardson loved Winnipeg and proved you could do anything from here.

“When you are nourished by your roots and you enrich them yourself by your actions, your philanthropy and your value system, that can be recognized internationally,” he told CBC News on Thursday.

Carr said Richardson was a very humble man and a lot of what he did to help people was on a one-to-one basis, quiet and away from the spotlight.

“He never looked for personal credit or glory. He just did his job, whatever job was in front of him, and did it very well and without any expectation of a reward or public acclaim,” he said.

“There’s so much that people will never know because much of the philanthropy and much of the help given to individuals was very quiet and very personal.”

Lawrie Pollard, chairman of Pollard Banknote Ltd., said he can attest to that. Richardson helped him out in the 1970s when no one else would give Pollard a mortgage to move his business.

“The next thing I knew I got a phone call from George who said, ‘don’t worry about it, I’ll take care of it.’ So he was the one that gave me a start,” Pollard said. r002787210

“He’s been that kind of a guy to people all his life.”

Headquartered in Winnipeg, Pollard Banknote prints tickets for government lotteries in Canada, the United States and the world. The company has five facilities with about 1,200 employees. $4.45B net worth Canadian Business Magazine ranked the Richardson family in 2013 as Canada’s ninth-wealthiest family with a net worth of $4.45 billion.

With investments in aviation, agriculture, food processing, financial services, oil and gas exploration and property management, the company is more than a family firm, according to the book Just Common Sense: The Life and Times of George Taylor Richardson, by Tim Higgins.

“And George was more than just a company president. Like his father, James Armstrong Richardson, George was a dreamer but like his mother, Muriel, whom he succeeded, he was also a realist,” the book states.

“Combining their talents, he led Canada into international grain sales with communist China, brokered deals with unions with a hands on appreciation of their work and brought the world’s oldest business enterprise, the Hudson’s Bay Company from London to a new home in Canada.

“He also investigated to the very roots of every venture the firm undertook during his tenure, and as a pioneer civilian pilot, flew all over North America in his own helicopter to see company operations for himself.”

Legacy of success Sandy Riley, CEO and president of the Richardson Financial Group, said Richardson did a lot for the community but didn’t seek out public acclaim.

“This was a man who was engaged

in all aspects of his life and the people he dealt with, whether it was hunting or at the farm or in business or at the lake, he just was a down to earth, thoroughly decent, thoroughly admirable person.”

Riley said Richardson’s biggest legacy was shepherding Pioneer Grain through difficult times and building it into being one of the prominent grain companies in the world.

“It was his steadfastness in the businesses that the family, Richardson family, has owned for many years — the grain business in particular — I think is his greatest legacy,” Riley said.

“It is a world-class, leading enterprise in agribusiness now but it went through many tough years that George had to kind of keep it focused and keep it going. Now it’s one of the leading companies in the world and something we all in Winnipeg should be very proud of.”

Supported community organizations Richardson was a founding member of several community organizations, including Junior Achievement of Manitoba, the United Way of Winnipeg and the Manitoba Museum.

He helped bring a replica of the Nonsuch, a 53-foot ship originally built in 1668, to the museum in 1970 for Manitoba’s centennial and the Hudson’s Bay Company’s 300th anniversary.

Richardson also supported arts organizations like the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, said artistic director Andre Lewis, who described Richardson’s death as a huge loss.

“The Richardson family as a whole has supported the arts scene in Winnipeg signficantly…. I mean, in the millions of dollars,” Lewis said.

Lewis said Richardson talked about taking ballet classes as a boy and attended many RWB performances over the years.

“He said, ‘Well, Andre, you had a choice with me: either I clap or stand up,

because I can’t do both,’ because he was using a cane at the time. So you see the humour in him,” he said.

Bob Puchniak, who first started working with the Richardson family’s companies in 1969, said employees are feeling sombre about the magnate’s death but are remembering his commitment to charitable works.

“Putting back into the community has always been part of the fabric and in many cases … done anonymously,” he said. “It sets such a good example for not only the public, but also for employees.”

Puchniak described Richardson as a down-to-earth man with a sense of humour who loved the outdoors.

“He was a man’s man. I mean, he was a big, tall, strapping individual [who] liked to hunt and fish, and so he could deal with people of all different types, and successfully so,” he said.

Richardson was a member of the Order of Canada and received honorary doctorate degrees from the University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg.

An avid helicopter pilot, he was an honorary director of Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame, an honorary Patron of the Western Canada Aviation Museum and honorary colonel of the 402 “City of Winnipeg” Squadron.

Colt Starting: Building Confidence PART 1

People needed a different picture of what a relationship could be. That is when I came up with war and going to the mall.

Colt Starting Part 1 – Building Confidence The first time I started a young horse I was 13 years old, and then I started doing quite a few when I turned 17. For years I started horses for people and I didn’t get paid much, which was good, because I wasn’t getting much accomplished. Of course, I was doing the best I knew at the time, I just didn’t know that what I knew wasn’t much. My main goal was to be able to ride the horse without getting bucked off.

I had no plan or course of action, and I never thought of it as trying to develop the horse. I didn’t even know that how the horse turned out had more to do with me than the horse. I thought that if things didn’t go well it was just that particular horse. I never thought about preparation and that everything I did with them was interconnected. Well, I have come to find out there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. I have a plan now with every horse, steps that I follow, and I now know that if two different people could start the same horse there could be drastically different results.

The overall objective I have is to develop confidence, respect and understanding. In the beginning, generally speaking, the main objective I put the most time into is confidence building. If the horse for some reason is disrespectful, then that will have to

be addressed first or while your building the confidence. For the purpose of this article we will focus on ways to begin the process of creating a braver, more confident horse, earning their trust and accepting the human.

The reason I like to start here is because a scared, untrusting horse has a very hard time learning. They are too busy worrying about their survival to think about whatever it is you are asking them to do. I need to mention as well, that horses need to what I call “learn to learn” from us. They have been learning from the herd, their mother, the environment they live in, but don’t yet know that we have something to share or offer that is of value to them. If we can present things in a manner that makes sense to the horse, you will see them realize that you are there for their benefit. When they realize that you are communicating with them, their confidence grows immediately and they start looking to you for answers or solutions.

There are very few tools needed to get started. I prefer a soft rope halter, 12’ foot lead, horsemen’s’ stick and string, flag, and an 8X8 or 10X10 plastic tarp. I also often use an Australian Stock Whip and 45’ Lariat, but neither piece of equipment is a must, and both take a bit of practice to use. I find that these

few items used correctly prepare horses for much more than most realize. The halter and lead is for having a line of communication to your horse. It’s to help the horse understand what it is you are trying to tell him, making it easier for the horse to find the answer.

It can help cause the right thing to be easy and the wrong thing to be difficult. You also use this as an opportunity to start teaching them to follow a feel.

The halter is not for making the horse stand still.

You can use the halter to make it difficult to move but not to make them stand. Be sure to spend an equal amount of time or more on the right side of the horse.

That is the side that usually gets the least help and it causes the horse to get very out of balance. They might be comfortable with things on the left but not on the right, don’t forget about the right, get them and keep them balanced.

Doing a good job of building a horses confidence means that the horse has made the decision to stand still and relax because he has become braver and more confident and doesn’t feel the need to run or flee. I’m not in a big hurry to start moving their feet, which is respect-getting, until I have achieved some rapport and confidence. Waving a stick and string,

Grass Founder

by Dr. Christa Harder Now that summer is almost here, and the green grass is finally growing, our horses are very eager to get out on pasture and enjoy some fresh feed. As much as we love to see our horses out on pasture, to some horses, this can result in a devastating condition known as grass founder or laminitis.

Laminitis is a condition in horses that causes foot pain. The pain comes from inflammation of the laminae. Laminae are the sensitive layers of the foot that provide attachment between the hoof wall and the bone within the hoof (coffin bone). When a horse founders, the laminae are damaged, become inflamed and swell. Being encapsulated within the hoof, the laminae do not have room to swell, making the condition very painful. In severe cases the laminae die and separation between the hoof and coffin bone can occur resulting in rotation or sinking of the coffin bone within the hoof. In severe cases this loss of support may actually result in the coffin bone penetrating through the sole of the hoof.

Laminitis can affect all four feet but more commonly both front feet are severely affected. A mild case will look like a horse that is stiff and painful when moving and shift their weight when standing.

In more severe cases horses will “rock back” on their hindquarters (to off load weight from the painful front feet), they will be very reluctant to walk, especially on hard ground. Often their hooves will be hot and throbbing and some horses will just lay down and not rise for long periods of time.

At this time of year, one of the most common causes of laminitis is lush pasture or grass founder.

Grass is high in simple carbohydrates or sugars and some horses (particularly overweight horses and ponies) are very sensitive to high carbohydrate feeds.

Certain types of grasses contain more carbohydrates.

In addition, each species of grass will have variable carbohydrate content depending on season and other environmental conditions. For example grasses that NATION/WINDSOR, ONT.

are stressed (due to freezing temperatures, disease, overgrazing, etc.) generally have higher carbohydrate content. This is important to consider when choosing pasture for horses that are predisposed to founder.

There are also a variety of other conditions which can cause laminitis including: over feeding, excess carbohydrates (i.e. grain), toxins in the blood or infection, adverse reaction to some drugs, excessive weight bearing on one limb (i.e. when the opposite limb is severely injured), extreme concussion (fast work on hard ground) and metabolic disorders such as Cushing’s disease.

Laminitis is diagnosed by examining the horse for classic signs as well as x-raying the hoof. X-rays are useful to assess the degree of rotation/sinking of the coffin bone and determine course of treatment and prognosis.

Removal of the cause of laminitis (if possible) should be the first mode of treatment. For example, in the case of grass founder, horses should be taken off grass immediately. They also benefit from anti-inflammatory treatment, being placed in an environment with soft footing (i.e. deep bedding or sand), being maintained on a low carbohydrate diet, restriction of their movement as more movement can cause more damage to the laminae, and weight loss (if overweight). Hoof trimming is often very helpful and in more severe cases corrective shoeing and the use of support boots/padding is also required.

However, the best treatment for grass founder is prevention. Sudden increases in concentrate/high carbohydrate food should be avoided. Some horses that are naturally overweight cannot handle any pasture turn out. In others it may help to gradually introduce your horse to lush spring grass. If you have a horse that has foundered in the past, keep in mind that they are more likely to founder again. Wishing you all a wonderful summer but be aware of the lush green pastures and killing your horse with kindness.

Hand found in train yard Windsor police have a baffling mystery after a train conductor found a detached human hand that could that have come from any of several dozen cities across the continent.

Police said it looked like it could be a woman’s hand, but have been unable to use fingerprints or any other means to determine where it came from.

But possibilities are endless. The rail line connects to Michigan through the underground train tunnel. From there, the tracks stretch out across most of North America. – Star

Alberta spends $5B on highways The Alberta government says it is investing $5 billion over the next three years to “expand and rehabilitate” provincial highways in the North.

According to the transportation department, more than 2,500 kilometres of existing provincial highways will be worked on as part of the plan.

The government said Monday the plan is intended to prepare for anticipated population growth, focusing on routes that connect with Highway 43, which runs through Grande Prairie to the B.C. border. – Postmedia

“The pork industry’s tremendous response shows how seriously everyone is taking this disease, as well as their commitment to protecting themselves and the entire sector,” says Allan Mol, president of the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association.

“Best of all, the biosecurity measures taken under this program will protect against any disease, so its effects will be felt for years to come.”

The federal and Saskatchewan governments made a similar announcement last week. The federal and provincial governments will contribute $200,000 for a contingency fund, with Sask Pork contributing an equal amount.

by Allison Finnamore, with files from the Canadian Press The federal government is teaming with several provinces to help keep porcine epidemic diarrhea virus out of the hog barns -- including investments of $8.8 million in Ontario and $1.35 million in Alberta.

There are now 60 farm premises that have tested positive for PED across Canada, including one in Manitoba, one in Prince Edward Island, one in Quebec and 57 in Ontario.

While no cases of PED have been found in Alberta, Agriculture Minister Verlyn Olson says the cash will be used to improve biosecurity at pig farms and facilities. The Alberta government says the province’s 380 pork producers raise about 2.3 million market hogs each year.

“This funding for the pork sector is a proactive step to help the industry fight pig diseases and improve biosecurity measures across the province,” Olson said in a recent news release.

Biosecurity measures can include thorough cleaning of transport trucks and equipment used at farms.

In Ontario, producers are tackling more than 85 per cent of the biosecurity projects, which include building or improving wash stalls, buying pressure washers for barns, and/or buying water heaters for existing pressure washers.

Other farm projects include: building or improving Danish entry systems (which have distinctly clean and dirty sides to maintain sanitary conditions inside the pig barn) constructing separate driveways for incoming and outgoing vehicles improving deadstock-handling systems, including pouring concrete pads for composting.

by Neil Billinger The North American cattle market is setting new price records as strong consumer demand puts pressure on tight supplies, says an industry expert.

The value of a 500 to 600 pound feeder steer in Western Canada has jumped nearly $35 per hundredweight, or 18 per cent, since the beginning of January. A cattle producer with a 550-pound steer is receiving over $400 more than the total price paid for the same steer in May 2013.

“We had some catching up to do coming out of last fall,” says Sandy Russell with Spring Creek Land and Cattle Consulting in Outlook, Sask. “That it sustained into May is most unusual for the traditional trend of the feeder market.”

A large number of Western Canadian feeder cattle have been going to the United States as the buoyant market outweighs the discriminatory impact of mandatory country of origin labelling legislation. Sales exceeded 17,000 head per week in March -- numbers

that haven’t been seen in more than five years.

“They are importing cattle from Canada in spite of COOL,” says Harold Martens, president of the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association. “The Canadian dollar in the 90 cent range gives U.S. buyers an advantage as well.”

Beef consumption usually hits a high in May as the temperature rises and barbeques are taken out of winter storage. In previous years, consumers may have switched to pork to avoid paying more for hamburger and steak.

That’s not an option this year because pork prices are also at record levels. There are fewer pigs due to losses caused by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in the United States, where an estimated seven million piglets have perished in 25 states over the past year.

“There is always that question of when will the consumer decide to back off a little bit, but with pork prices doing what they are doing, that helps the beef market as well,” Russell says. “At the end of the day, when the grills fire up, I still truly believe that people prefer burgers and steaks.”

preservation of agricultural land, encouraging farming and enabling farm use on agricultural land. All other factors would follow in descending order of priority.

This change is intended to confirm the ALC’s priority remains preserving farming and ensuring panels make decisions in the best interests of agriculture.

“B.C. is a large, diverse province with different agricultural practices, different population and development pressures and different social and cultural realities in our different regions. A one-size-fits-all approach to regulating farmland does not reflect this reality.

“While it is very difficult to reach complete consensus, I want to thank British Columbians for conveying their thoughts and vision to me. I believe these changes improve the existing act, maintain the preservation of agricultural land as the number one priority, and continue to support farmers and the growth of the agricultural sector as was always intended.

“British Columbians want the commission to continue making independent decisions, with preservation of farmland as its number one priority. These amendments to Bill 24 ensure those views are clearly written in law.”

Statement from Agriculture Minister on Agricultural Land Commission Act changes May 6, 2014 VICTORIA - Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has released the following statement on Bill 24, the Agricultural Land Commission Act: “Today I am introducing amendments to Bill 24, which take into account the written feedback of British Columbians and following input gained from meetings with leaders in B.C.’s agricultural sector. The comments expressed are as diverse as the province itself and have been very useful in my deliberations.

“The amendments allow the ALC chair or regional panel to refer applications to the ALC’s executive committee, if the chair determines that a decision could have substantial impact on the ALR. The executive committee consists of the chair and the six vice chairs, one from each region.

“Criteria will be clearly defined in regulation and could include, for example, applications with interregional significance, major land or large infrastructure considerations, new types of applications that have not been considered before or when the local panel determines it is best heard by the provincial committee.

“Bill 24 also is being amended to clearly outline, in priority order, the criteria the commission must consider in all land-use decisions in zone 2 (North, Interior and Kootenay). This priority list will begin with whether the ALC considers the proposal to meet with the purposes of the commission, namely the

CANADIAN PEDIGREED REGISTERED BLACK ANGUS

By: Monika Benoit As producers and members of industry, we spend a lot of our time very engaged in doing what we do best: raising beef animals; from balancing rations, improving grazing techniques, calving out the cow herd, keeping our records, baling hay…and this list goes on. Most beef producers eat a lot of beef themselves, but how often do we think about the great benefits of eating beef?

It’s also very important to be well-versed in beef facts when talking to the consumers who are choosing to buy or not buy beef every day. A few neat facts on the Canadian Beef Industry: • The average Canadian consumers 44.2lbs annually, to reach a total of 946,977 pounds of beef consumed in 2011! (June 2011, Statistics Canada).

• As of June 1, 2012, there are approximately 1,660,000 beef cows in the province of Alberta, which is 39.3% of the Canadian total of 4.23 mil-lion head (Source: www.canadabeef.org).

• Western Canada finishes 75% of all cattle in Canada (source: Canfax).

• Beef production contributed $25.96 billion to Canada’s economy in 2011 (Canfax, Statistics Canada).

When you’re biting into a tasty beef burger, prime rib, a Sunday dinner roast, what is the breakdown of what you’re eating? Beef is a great source of fourteen essential nutrients including protein, zinc, selenium, niacin, iron, phosphorous, riboflavin, vitamins B6 and B12, and vitamin D. To the right is a snapshot of what is in 100 grams of cooked lean Canadian beef. Beef is a part of the Canada Food Guide and a great way to take in protein and other nutrients. The process to digest beef involves the protein being broken down into amino acids which are then absorbed by our small intestine. Protein is essential for growth, immunity and the building and repair of muscle and other tissue; our bodies are built to digest and absorb beef.

Protein can even help to shed extra pounds as it helps us to feel fuller longer, our bodies burn more calories

while digesting protein compared to other nutrients and it helps us maintain muscle while losing more fat.

In comparison to the protein found in plant protein sources, beef contains all of the essential amino acids, whereas plant sources (such as soy, nuts, and beans) do not (source: www.beefinfo.org).

eating from different sources, including health care professionals. However, this is misleading and dieticians are encouraging us to eat red meat, including beef as part of a well-balanced diet. There are things we can do to help make even better choices when we’re eating red meat, including choosing leaner cuts and draining the fat out of pan fried beef. An-other common myth about choosing meat is that chicken and turkey are leaner meats, how-ever, when it comes to the labelling systems for meat, the same guidelines for maximum fat content apply to all ground meats.

Therefore, lean and ex-tra lean ground beef have the exact same maxi-mum fat content as lean and extra lean ground tur-key, chicken, or pork (source: www. beefinfo.org). It is also important to watch the intake of pro-cessed meats, such as lunch meats, sausages and other pre-packaged meats; they generally have higher levels of fat and sodium and won’t have the same nutritional qualities as unprocessed beef (source: www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/choosechoix/meat-viande/tips).

Grass Finished vs Grain Finished Beef A recent debate going on amongst industry and consumers is the difference between grain and grass finished beef. For many years, grain finished beef has been the norm in North America due to the lower cost to put on pounds using grain versus grass and the taste, due to marbling of grain fed beef. Grass fed beef is more popular in other parts of the world, such as Australia and Brazil where they have grass available on a year-round basis. The ques-tion is: Is grass fed beef more nutritious than grain fed beef? According to the Canada Beef www.beefinfo.org website ‘Eating Smart FAQ,’ “All beef provides 14 essential nutrients plus energy. Preliminary studies have shown that grass fed beef has elevated levels of Omega 3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). More research is required to determine whether these increased levels are high enough to provide positive health benefits.”

A recent review of research on the nutritional values of grass finished beef was included in Meat Science (the Journal of the American Meat Association), and the reviews concluded that more research is needed to truly understand the nutritional differences between grass and grain finished beef (reference cited on the left). The review found that there is more fat in grain finished beef compared to grass finished, however, it is at the expense of monounsatu-rated fatty acids, which are recognized to lower bad cholesterol and can help in the preven-tion of heart disease and stroke (source: www.beefinfo.org). The review stated that both types of beef contain omega-3 fatty acids, however neither are a significant source and eating salmon would be a better choice to boost the omega-3

r001692234

Along with being an ideal source of protein, beef is also a great natural source of iron. The iron in the foods we eat is in two different forms: heme iron and non-heme iron; heme iron is more readily digested and absorbed by our bodies. Red meats such as beef, poultry and seafood are excellent sources of heme iron. The iron found in the plant foods we eat such as spinach is non-heme iron, therefore a vegetarian would need to consume almost twice as much total iron to reach their daily requirements compared to a person eating meat (source: www.beefinfo.org). Eating foods rich in vitamin C will also help to increase iron absorption (source: http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/ Iron-HealthProfessional). Iron is very important because it helps to build red blood cells, boosts our body’s immune system and it carries oxygen from our lungs to the rest of our body, which keeps our energy levels high. Pregnant and breastfeeding women need extra iron in their diets to facilitate the development of their baby. Iron is also important for young children as it assists in the growth and development of the brain and helps with memory, concentration and learning (source: www.beefinfo.org).

Next on the list for the super nutrients of beef is zinc; it is an essential nutrient for humans. Zinc is in every cell in our bodies and is involved in metabolism and our immunity (source: Health Canada www.hc-sc. gc.ca). Zinc is best absorbed from meat and other animal prod-ucts, such as beef and other meats. There are some foods that limit our body’s ability to ab-sorb zinc, including soy products, whole grains and lentils, so it is important to include animal protein sources with zinc that are easily absorbed such as beef in our diets. Young children and pregnant and breast feeding women have higher requirements for zinc to facil-itate growth and protect against infection (source: www. beefinfo.org).

Eating beef is an excellent way to get our daily dose of vitamins, notably vitamin D and the B vitamins, including B6, B12, niacin, thiamine and riboflavin. Vitamin B12 is especially important to consider as it is naturally in meats, poultry, fish and other animal products such as eggs. According to a fact sheet about vitamin B12 put to-gether by the Beef Information Centre, a shortage of vitamin B12 can lead to weakened mental capacity in children, heart disease and stroke, osteoporosis, un-healthy pregnancies and neural tube defects, as well as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Vitamin B12 is very important for healthy aging, as it contributes to maintaining a healthy nervous system and healthy bones. The good news for beef eaters is that a 100g or a 3.5 oz serving of a lean beef flank steak provides you with 125% of your daily requirements of vitamin B12 (source: www.beefinfo.org)!

Over the years, there have been many recommendations to cut back on the amount of red meat we’re

levels in our diets (source: www. healthycanadians.gc.ca/health-sante/ pregnancy-grossesse/omega-3-eng. php#a1). It was interesting to note that in this review, it was stated that forage variety and cattle breed had a significant impact on the nutritional profile of the beef. With consumer demand for pasture raised and grass finished beef increasing, we will likely be seeing many more studies and trials in this area over the next few years. Many people who normally aren’t beef eaters have shown interest in eating grass finished beef over the past few years, and this has opened up another market for beef, which is always a positive for the business.

The On-Farm Stewardship program in Growing Forward 2 now includes a shelterbelt component.

“The Growing Forward 2 On-Farm Stewardship Program helps producers implement projects and management practices that have a direct and positive impact on water quality, and improves management of inorganic agricultural wastes,” says Diana Bingham, stewardship coordinator with Growing Forward 2. “As of April 1, 2014, we now have funding for field shelterbelts for livestock shelters and assisting with reducing erosion.”

Bingham says the program will assist with shelterbelts around confined feeding operations to help reduce odour, but doesn’t help with shelterbelts around farm yards for energy efficiency or beautification.

“The cost share for shelterbelts is fifty per cent to a maximum of $10,000,” says Bingham. “These shelterbelts work best with a large number of trees so we have capped the funding allowed per tree at $5 to encourage using a large

number of trees to fill out the shelterbelt.”

The project will also help fund drip irrigation systems, plastic or wood mulch, and fencing around the shelterbelt to keep livestock out.

“If you’re looking for more specific project and expense information, it’s best to consult the funding list on the onfarm stewardship website,” says Bingham. “It has a lot more details about eligible and ineligible costs for this and other projects under the program.”

Bingham emphasizes this project, as well as with all projects under the On-Farm Stewardship program, is not retroactive. “You need to get your application in before you start purchasing anything. The program will not cover anything purchased before the program application is received.”

For more information on this or any other Growing Forward 2 project or program, go to www.growingforward. alberta.ca, or call the Ag-Info Centre at 310-3276.

WHAT'S NEW

Dead whale auction pulled off of eBay Lauren Strapagiel Postmedia

TC Equipment 8704 99th Street Clairmount, AB T0H 0W0

r001781410

Frustrated by a lack of help from the government, a town on Newfoundland’s west coast tried to auction off a sperm whale carcass on eBay. The gigantic dead mammal washed up in Cape St. George a week ago, Mayor Peter Fenwick told Canada.com. In Newfoundland, animal carcasses are the responsibility of the municipality they wash up in, even if they’re 12 metres long and weigh 25 or 30 tons like this one does.

Disposing of a dead whale is no easy task and whether its buried, towed out to sea or sliced up to preserve the bones, it requires equipment and funds the town just doesn’t have. Although Fenwick said he’d like to preserve the bones, “it’s just not within our financial capability.”

That’s when he turned to eBay. “Since we weren’t getting much help from either the provincial or federal government, and we were told that it’s our responsibility, we decided that this was probably the most efficient way to get rid of it,” said Fenwick.

Bidding started at 99 cents and was past $2,000 by the time the auction was taken offline. Although quite accurately

placed in the “really weird” category, the auction violated eBay’s rules which state “items made from marine mammals regardless of when the product was made” are prohibited.

However, that was only one of the wrinkles in Fenwick’s plan. The second came in the form of a call from the federal government on Monday afternoon.

“I received a call from the federal department of the environment saying that you’re not allowed to sell any parts of sperm whales, even if they’re dead,” said Fenwick.

“So I said, ‘Oh that’s very good, I’m glad to hear that, now can you send somebody over here to get rid of it for us?’”

They said they could not.

“They’ve got to sort it out somehow.

The uncertainty means it just sort of sits there and rots,” said Fenwick.

“I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a whale that’s been rotting on the beach for a couple of months – actually sometimes you can’t see it for the clouds of flies around it – but you can smell it for about a mile.”

B.C. grants $1.6 million to fight invasive plants WILLIAMS LAKE - The provincial government is providing over $1.6 million in new grants to control the spread of invasive plants, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson announced today.

The 29 grants are being given to local governments, regional invasive species committees and the Invasive Species Council of B.C. to assist their activities and support the objectives of the provincial Invasive Plant Program. This funding is in addition to the $809,000 already earmarked by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations for invasive plant control and management in 2014-15.

Regional invasive species committees, the Invasive Species Council of B.C., local governments, provincial government ministries and stakeholders all work together to raise public awareness of invasive plants, survey and map invasive plant populations, and actively treat high-priority sites to control the spread of invasive plants.

Funding has also been granted to the Invasive Species Council of B.C. to assist with provincial collaboration, coordination and communication, development of best management practices, and expanded methods to increase awareness and reporting of invasive species. The Invasive Species Council of B.C. is based in Williams Lake.

Regional committees are non-profit societies that serve as forums for land managers and other stakeholders to co-ordinate invasive plant treatment activities and participate in outreach and educational opportunities. There are currently 13 regional invasive species committees

CHETWYND - Fourteen thousand juvenile trout were released today into Moberly Lake at Spence Tuck Regional Park, as part of a six-year project launched in 2010 to recover lake trout in Moberly Lake.

The release is a partnership between the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC to help rebuild a declining lake trout population in Moberly Lake, north of Chetwynd. This hatchery release is intended to be the second of three over the six-year period, with the goal of increasing the number of trout in the lake to at least 5,000 adult fish. Fourteen thousand trout were previously released in 2012.

Extremely low numbers of lake trout had been confirmed in Moberly Lake less than 400 fish - with overfishing and resulting poor survival rates being the main contributing factors.

In fall 2012, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC collected eggs and semen from spawning lake trout in Moberly Lake.

The fertilized eggs were transported to the society’s hatchery in Clearwater where they were incubated and grown into yearlings, approximately 20 centimetres in length - large enough to be released into their natural habitat.

Rehabilitating a lake trout population takes an extensive amount of time and effort. Now four years into the project, ministry staff will begin work

Two case IH patriot models deliver more power & new options

RACINE, Wis. (August 27, 2013) Performance and flexibility are key for timely, high-quality application.

That’s why the Case IH Patriot® 3240 and 3340 sprayers offer more horsepower and new options for spray control.

“Our Case IH design engineers always match machine size to the engine and horsepower to ensure optimum in-field performance,” says Mark Burns, Case IH Application Equipment Marketing Manager. “In addition, we’ve worked hard to put the best technologies available to work to enable timely, consistent coverage – at the right rate and droplet size – while also reducing overlaps, skips and drift.”

Improved Spray Control One new option in particular gives operators improved spray accuracy across the field.

“With the new AIM Command PRO™ spray system, operators have the advantage of individual nozzle control,” says Burns. “This advanced spray technology builds on the features found on the AIM Command® spray system, such as constant rate and pressure over a wide range of speeds.

At the same time, the system provides the capability of turning on and off nozzles one at a time, rather than entire boom sections, which minimizes skips, overspray and overlaps, preventing over-application and the resulting crop damage.”

These exclusive spray technologies help operators better manage drift, control droplet size and ensure consistent coverage by controlling boom pressure independent of chassis speed.

The Case IH Patriot sprayer lineup, including the 2240, 4430, and the new 3240 (pictured) and 3340, were designed with fundamental agronomic principles in mind. The cab-forward, rear-engine configuration helps operators get in fields sooner and minimize soil compaction and rutting while there, ultimately helping producers maximize their yield potential.

The system also automatically compensates for turns, ensuring the accurate target rate is applied even while the inside corner of the boom is travelling at a much slower rate than the outside corner. AIM Command PRO accounts for how the boom travels and applies product at equal rates, regardless of speed.

Increased Horsepower Performance The new Patriot 3240 and 3340 boast 6.7-L Case IH FPT Tier 4 B/ Final-compliant engines with 250 hp and 285 hp, respectively. All Case IH high-horsepower engines use Selective

Agronomic DesignSM Case IH Agronomic Design is at work across the full line of Patriot sprayers, helping make the most of sometimes challenging environments where crops grow. The cab-forward, rear-engine configuration provides balanced weight distribution and reduces compaction and rutting, allowing operators field access earlier than conventional designs.

Best-in-class trailing-link suspension and a large, comfortable Surveyor™ cab make long days in the field feel effortless.

“The new Patriot 3240 and 3340 models are the high-quality, efficient and comfortable sprayer operators expect from Case IH,” says Burns.

“They build on the strengths of the Patriot family, just like our industryleading Class 2 Patriot 2240 and Class 4 Patriot 4430.”

Catalytic Reduction (SCR)-only emissions control technology without the complexity of an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve or Diesel Particulate Filter.

“More horsepower gives operators more power to handle tough conditions,” says Burns. “Both owners and operators will also appreciate the extended maintenance intervals and enhanced fuel economy that are synonymous with the Case IH Efficient Power family.”

By exclusively using SCR emissions technology, Case IH FPT engines are kept simple and add fuel efficiency.

They are proven, with more than 30,000 Case IH SCR-only engines at work across North America.

“Case IH is the only equipment manufacturer dedicated to using SCRonly emissions technology across all of our high-horsepower equipment,” says Burns.

Virtually the entire working population of Winnipeg walks off the job in what would become the largest general strike in North American history. Although it was suppressed, and violently so, it indirectly led to major labour reforms.

Colt Starting: Building Confidence CONTINUED FROM 14

are scared of them. The goal is to get them over the perceived danger of the tools and have them understand that you are trying to teach them to think, rather than react.

Being smooth and having a rhythm to what we are doing is much easier for the horse to accept than jerky one-time type movements.

Just last week I helped a fellow with his horse and he said he used to do some of this but stopped because it made one of his horses more scared and attack the flag.

I’ve seen this happen before with the stick and string and tarps as well. So what was going on, did they all get a bad tarp or a faulty flag, maybe the horse was just different? Maybe it only works sometimes?

With the right approach I have never seen it not work, and work very well.

You must make it easy for the horse to do the right thing, which is to think, and show some signs of trying to relax. Look for small changes and reward the change.

Too much pressure such as being directline in your thinking and approach, poor timing, and not recognizing or rewarding a try will make your horse worse rather than better. I will use the flag as an example, our flags come with a stick and the flag is about one square foot in size. The direct-line approach would be to get one and start waving it around to see what the horse does. A better approach would be to tie the flag around the stick until it was very small and then offer it to see if the horse would smell the little ball of tied up flag. From there, start to rub whatever part of the horse it will allow to

be rubbed. Take the flag away when you see a try or a bit of acceptance and then bring the flag back and proceed getting to more and more of the horse. Once you can rub the whole horse and take the flag away and come back with it and the horse is accepting of that, then untie one knot and start again. Follow that procedure until the flag is completely open and you can wave it wildly anywhere around the horse and the horse is comfortable with the sound and movement. I like to be able to stand anywhere, in front, at the side, behind and wave the flag with the horse accepting all the commotion calmly. Be sure not to wave your tools at the horse, you are not trying to move them, just help them get over the perceived danger. Most horses would be scared of something like this until they are shown that there isn’t anything to be scared of.

More than getting your horse to accept a flag waving around, your real goal is to teach them to think rather than react. I try and use this approach and thought pattern with all the tools and in all situations. Your timing of the release is what will teach them to think or to become more reactive. Too much pressure, poor timing or over exposure to anything can create more problems and cause a horse to become defensive, braced and even go on the offensive and go after the handler. With the tarp I would want the horse to comfortably accept me waving it, putting it on them and having them carry it as well as have them walk over it. With the stick and string be able to wrap it around their legs, spank the ground, swing it over their backs and

be able to do it from every zone (all areas) as well. Before using the string I would rub the horse everywhere with the stick while hanging onto the string. Most horses can be fairly comfortable with the stick and string, flag, tarp and stock whip faster than it took me to type this article. The fellow I helped had a very unconfident horse and within an hour the flag, whip, stick and string were being accepted very well.

The horses head was down, eyes half shut and soft, leg cocked and standing still. As well as confidence throughout this process the horses is also learning respect and understanding. When you make the wrong thing difficult, such as tipping his nose in and making it difficult to run or wander off, and easy and comfortable to stand, by leaving the lead line hanging loose they start to see the pattern. You cause your horse to think which actually makes them smarter. A horse handled in this manner learns to think their way through situations rather crash their way through.

Every time we switch sides and walk away and then approach the horse and he gets a rub they gain confidence and acceptance of the human.

Besides being able to rub the horse everywhere with your equipment you should also be able to rub every hair on the horse with your hands. It is not complete until you can see the horse has mentally accepted and enjoys all of it. The horse can be physically standing still but that doesn’t mean they have accepted it mentally or they are enjoying it. Getting good at this can save your horse from years of carrying around needless worry and fear. This

is something that any horse, of any age should be able to handle and understand.

It eliminates countless hours of training and frustration for the rider and the horse.

Have fun with it. For anyone wanting to see a horse learning to learn and building their confidence which is a big step in starting the young horse, we have put together a short video clip of some of the processes from our Colt Starting DVDs up on our website at www.thehorseranch.com look at “Articles” under “Happenings”.

Enjoy the video clip, and good luck.

For more in-depth perspective on the concepts contained in this article, you can view a special video-clip enhanced version at http://www.thehorseranch.com/articles/ Glenn Stewart travels extensively conducting clinics, demonstrations, and colt starting sessions, and also offers Camps and a 3 month Horsemanship Course at his home The Horse Ranch, as well as the Horsemanship Learning Adventure Series; two completely different experiences, High & Wild in the Northern BC Rockies, and Working Equitation with Lusitanos in Brazil. He rides 30-60 client horses per year, including young horses, restarts, challenging horses, and foundation training.

On the open road

Quebec: Riding like a local CONTINED FROM MAY 9 ISSUE After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasn’t long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing.

Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean.

From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is.

We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day.

Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical, a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion.

The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall. The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats, 2 piano rooms, a bistro, terrace and exhibition hall. The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness, joy and music.

The acoustics, even when you are just speaking, well, stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality.

Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity. We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama. Breathtakingly beautiful, you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics.

After our tour of the camp was done, we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert, Canada’s BEST preserved Ghost Town! I couldn’t wait.

When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier. Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide!

She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome.

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction.

You see, this town was the dream of one man, Damase Jalbert. He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill here. The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-deOuiatchouan, named for the river and the falls that powered the mill. The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913, in honor of the man whose dream it was.

Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living.

He died suddenly three years after opening the mill. The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904. In 1909, the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it.

From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities.

The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power.

In 1923, the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the work-

ers had been laid off.

On August 13th, 1927, all operations ceased and over the next few years, the village became abandoned.

In 1942, the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970, Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction. In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre, put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements.

Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today! The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job!

Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met “Mother Superior”, who took us through the school and answered our questions. She was stern, but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she “disciplined” us on proper etiquette.

There was the most amazing art display in one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in. The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp.

After touring the school we headed towards the post office. The “postmistress” was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard. It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day!

We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street. You have to see these places to truly appreciate them. Imagine, 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights, turn a tap

and have water, flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse.

These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well.

We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms.

Rustic and yet modern, these rooms are spacious, well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques.

All of the modern appliances, Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible. It makes for a very appealing décor.

The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers.

From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the “ruins”. Although many of the duplexes have been restored, Michelle explained to us, that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that the newer houses had collapsed on themselves. Some of the buildings are slated for restoration, but many are too far-gone. The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was.

Our next stop was the Mill.

The food served here complimented the atmosphere – IMPECCABLE! The chef, Carl Murray, has a great reputation that he totally lives up to.

The service, the food, the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer.

After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls.

The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region. The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls and the power of them is palpable. The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck.

From the falls, we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced. In the underbelly of

P A R T

2

the once abandoned mill, amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts, the lights go dim, you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people.

It is absolutely captivating; you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers.

The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by.

My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine. The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder, but I wasn’t experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding.

Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour.

He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory. 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here.

The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the family’s history in cheese making, including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese.

The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar.

Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perron’s and see all of the period specific furnishings.

Along with guided tours, you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese, which we did, and oh my, I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich.

After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour, we headed off.

By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home. I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot, pounding shower; I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep.

And that’s where I will leave you, until next week…Belt Drive Betty

Why U.K. doctors read about Peace River

Famous medical journal weighs in on effects of oilsands emissions SHEILA PRATT EDMONTON JOURNAL

The health problems that Peace River-area farmers say are caused by oilsands emissions are again drawing international attention, this time in the U.K. The prestigious British medical journal, The Lancet, ran a story last week on the plight of seven families forced to leave their homes between 2011 and 2014 due to ill health they say is caused by emissions from heated bitumen tanks in the Reno oilfield south of Peace River.

Brian Labrecque, spokesperson for the families, said they were “surprised” to see the piece in the April edition. He says his father, who worked for Baytex Energy, was forced to leave his farm after getting seriously ill from fumes coming off heated bitumen tanks on his farm.

The British journal’s attention to the three -year- old emissions problem comes just a couple of weeks after U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer invited the Labrecques to Washington to testify on the health impacts of Alberta oilsands production as part of the debate over the proposed Keystone pipeline.

“It’s on the radar outside Alberta and outside Canada, that’s for sure,” said Labrecque, adding that The Lancet contacted the families in February.

The article is a summary of the Labrecques' battle to get rid of the emissions, the January public hearing and notes, at the end, that there are concerns among some

groups in the U.S. about high sulphur emissions from upgrading and refining Alberta bitumen.

Keith Wilson, lawyer for the families, said the Lancet article is not helpful to Alberta’s effort to convince its international customers that the province supports “responsible energy development.”

The Alberta Energy Regulator earned a lot of credibility when, in March, it gave Baytex until Aug. 15 to install vapour recovery units on its 86 tanks to contain the polluting emissions, Wilson said.

But the company will continue to release the emissions into the atmosphere until then, even though the regulator has acknowledged they are a potential health problem – and that’s wrong, he said.

“The prolonged situation is doing damage to the reputation of Alberta,” Wilson added.

Calgary based Baytex Energy has said repeatedly it is complying with the conditions and deadlines set down by the regulator for installing pollutioncontrol equipment.

Labrecque said the families in Peace River would be “very reluctant” to testify in the U.S. because they are not against the oil industry in general — they just want one company, Calgary-based Baytex, to stop the pollution that has caused health problems.

“The U.S. debate is so complex and we don’t want to be used as pawns in their political games,” said Labrecque.

Also, the New York Times business section on the weekend featured an

article on CNLR’s four leak sites on its Primrose lease on Cold Lake air weapons range.

Last week, Premier Dave Hancock in Calgary stressed Alberta has “a very good environmental record” and the “best environmental regulation relative to the oil and gas industry.”

Meanwhile, the families are hoping desperately that an Alberta court will rule, possibly this week, in favour of their application to shut down the wells temporarily until the vapour recovery system is installed.

Labrecque said he would like to go into his father’s abandoned house to sort through his parents’ possessions, most of which have to be thrown out. His father is so sensitive he could not go back.

“We’d like to get at that this summer, but not if the emissions are still being vented,” he said.

THAT’S A FACT The weight of all the people on Earth is about the same as the weight of all the ants on Earth. Ants outnumber us by at least a million to one, but we're at least a million times heavier than the average ant.

The Millennial

How next generation will change work as the rest of us know it Ray Williams Financial Post

By 2015, 75% of the world’s employees will be young people (ie., the Millennial Generation or Generation Y).

The prospects for economic prosperity for this gen-

eration are not particularly encouraging, and yet this development has high and positive expectations.

If we could point to one trend that paints a rather dark picture, it is the coming boom of large numbers of young males with few prospects for economic success. According to a Bank of America/Merrill Lynch report, market turmoil is coming in 2015 due to an underappreciated huge male youth boom (ages 15-29), and the problem is there aren’t enough jobs globally to employ them (180 million in India, 170 million China, 160 million in Africa).

SALE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS

The report goes on to conclude that the more angry young men there are who can fight over opportunities (and marriageable women), the greater the negative impact on economic and social structures.

Some key findings in Deloitte’s third annual Millennial Survey of nearly 7,800 Millennials from 28 countries across Western Europe, North America, Latin America, BRICS and Asia-Pacific about business, government and innovation are: • While most Millennials believe business is having a positive impact on society and increasing prosperity, they think business can do much more to address society’s challenges in the areas of most concern: resource scarcity, climate change, income inequality and ethical business practices; • Millennials believe the success of a business should be measured in terms of more than just financial performance, with a focus on improving society among the most important things it should seek.

Deloitte concludes, as a result of the economic pressures to flatten organizations, they must build “corporate ‘lattices” rather than corporate ladders for Millennials.

These young people in their 20’s would like new jobs and new assignments every 12-24 months and won’t wait for 3-5 years for a promotion.

The study also points to Millennials preference for organizations that have open, transparent and inclusive leadership styles; and they thrive on fairness and performance-based appraisals, not tenure and seniority. Millennials would prefer to have access to a number of peers and other leaders, rather that be limited to working with one leader or manager, and finally; Millennials thrive on innovation and change.

The Pew Center’s massive new report on the state of affairs for the Millennial generation is full of contradictions about them. For example: • Economic conditions for Millennials are atrocious, with high unemployment, yet they are the most optimistic of any generation; • The Millennial generation is the most educated generation in history and the deepest in debt for their education; • While the economy has been the most prosperous in history, the Millennial generation will not likely live a better standard of living than their parents; • Millennials say they care about the environment, but

invasion very different perspective and expectation of the role and behavior of managers, seeing them more in an encouraging, coaching and peer capacity, something that is currently at odds with the current generation of Baby Boomer managers who see their role as one associated more with power and position.

Ray Williams is president of Ray Williams Associates, a Vancouver-based firm that provides leadership training, executive coaching and speaking services.

don’t consider themselves environmentalists; • Millennials have few attachments to traditional political and religious institutions.

The Millennial Compass Report completed by the MLS Group and the Ashbridge Business School in the U.K. recently completed a study entitled Truths About the 30-and-under Generation in the Workplace.

The study highlights issues of relevance to today’s employers, with the some conclusions that may be startling to some.

As many experts have observed, Millennials are very different from previous generations. The Millennial Compass Report, which surveyed 1,293 employees in the U.S., India, China, the U.K., France and Brazil shows that Millennials “are focused on achieving through personal networks and technology; having good work-life balance; and getting high levels of support from their managers. They don’t want to be tied to an organization, a timetable or a hierarchy, and they’d rather avoid the stress they see their senior leaders shouldering.” Other conclusions of the report that are noteworthy: • Millennials are ambitious to move up in their careers. More than 40% of this generation expects to be in a management position within two years.

• Millennials say they have a strong work ethic, but redefine the term to include good work-life balance; • Loyalty to the organization is not a particularly strong value for Millennials. Nearly 50% of those surveyed say they plan to depart from their employer after 2 years; • While Millennials worldwide say they expect to be in senior management positions and/or running their own companies within a few yeas of graduating, and international experience was not of high importance; • Millennials want to view their boss or manager as their “friend,” viewing them more as a peer, coach or mentor. Millennials are not concerned with titles, and strongly admire those with experience or knowledge over position or power; • Millennials believe their skills are better utilized than those whose managers are from the Baby Boom generation. Millennials want a manger who is very supportive, on their side and has their best interests at heart.

Clear from these studies is Millennials’ different definition of loyalty to the organization and expectations for frequent career or job changes. Millennials have a
