2019 Blue Book now available

Your

One of the most widely requested publications from Alberta Agriculture and Forestry is the Crop Protection publication, also known as the “Blue Book” in industry circles. “An important part of the annual update includes newly registered pesticide products,” says Mark Cutts, co-editor of Crop Protection 2019 and crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “This year’s edition includes new additions to the four main pesticide types: herbicides, insecticides, seed treatments and foliar fungicides. In addition to including new products, previously registered products are updated. Significant changes in some products, crops covered and usage instructions give producers more options than ever.” “For 2019, there are new products registered for foliar fungicides, seed treatments and insecticides. These newly registered pesticide products will provide producers more control options on a variety of crops when managing insects and diseases.

“There are a couple of new herbicide products, but there are many more minor changes to existing registrations,” adds Harry Brook, co-editor of the Blue Book and crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “The most significant change in herbicides this year is that quinclorac has an international maximum allowable residue level. It is in a number of products specifically to control cleavers in canola. Up until the fall of 2018, there was no recognized safe level and these herbicides could not be used in canola.” When using pesticides, it is important to be aware of pesticide resistance. It is recommended that pesticide products be selected based on chemical group and active ingredient. All pesticide products presented in the Blue Book have their chemical group and active ingredient listed. By using this information, the risk of developing pesticide resistance can be reduced or at least delayed. Call 780-427-0391 to order.

Breakfast Brief THE NOAA EXPECTS MAJOR FLOODING; SHOULD YOU? (March 22, 2019 FarmLead.com) Grain prices are mostly in the green this morning following a bullish NOAA report, but canola exports being stopped by China has that oilseed’s prices dropping again like a baby giraffe out of the womb.Yesterday, the NOAA released its updated three-month forecast, indicating extensive flowing through the Red River Valley down to Nebraska and Iowa. Add in the expectations from the NOAA for above-average rainfall through June, one NOAA director literally said that “this is shaping up to be a potentially unprecedented flood season.

Government of Canada helps the wheat sector increase export market share

To say the damage caused to the Midwest already to date is significant would be an understatement.The expected bill to fix the damage so far from this month’s weather activity in Nebraska alone is expected to top $1.5 Billion USD!I and many others are expecting this number to climb as the rest of this winter’s heavy snowpack melts off. U.S. Corn Exports Slowing? From a grain markets standpoint, railroads crisscrossing the Midwest that are covered with water will severely impact grain supplies getting to export and domestic end-user positions.On that note, yesterday’s exports report from the USDA showed that U.S. corn exports are slowing up a bit with 27.82 MMT shipped out through Week 28 of the 2018/19 crop year (or 1.095 billion bushels if converting metric tonnes into bushels). U.S. wheat exports are picking up a little bit, with 17.37 MMT (or 638.2 million bushels), now shipped out through Week 41 of its crop year.Worth mentioning is that Brazil is opening up its doors to duty-free wheat imports of up to 750,000 MT (or about 27.6 million bushels).However, this comes as this year’s wheat crop in Brazil is looking pretty good, not only from a crop development standpoint but also on the balance sheet. For soybean exports, things are still relatively slow-moving as long as China isn’t at the table. It’s expected that the U.S. and China are pushing for a new round of trade talks with a goal to have a deal signed, sealed, and delivered by late April.If that’s the case though, this would likely be on the late side of things for American farmers who have opted to plant wheat – namely in the Northern Plains – switch back over into soybeans. Of course, as I’ve mentioned many times over the past few weeks, the wet weather that we’re seeing could easily push back the start of Plant 2019. EPA Overruled on Glyphosate I spent over half this week in San Francisco at the World Agri-Tech Investment Summit. While the event brings together a who’s who of AgTech CEOs and executives and major decision makers from pretty much any company that touches agriculture, there was a bit of buzz about what else was happening in San Francisco at the same time: a court case between Bayer and a California man diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The former was found guilty as a jury determined that using Roundup caused the gentleman’s cancer.This is a bellwether judgment as there are 11,000 other lawsuits against Bayer from others who blame the company for their sickness. Now, I’m not at all interested in taking anything away from an individual’s sickness – I sit on the board of the Mandi Schwartz Foundation and I know first-hand that cancer is terrible. However, what I am trying to pick at is how the decades of research and review of glyphosate and approval by governments and international organizations are suddenly superseded by five days of deliberations between jurors who are not scientists or experts on subject matters ranging from biomolecular chemistry to urology.For the record, I am also not the expert on these subject matters, but when I am not the expert in something, I defer immediately to those who are. Sidenote: a senior Democrat from Connecticut has introduced a bill that would ban pre-harvest application of glyphosate on oats.This is a result of a pretty good job by the Environmental Working Group who augmented the fact that traces of glyphosate were found in oat products. Ironically, what the EWG reported on was levels that were still at least 100 times above the EPA’s exposure limit to be considered non-threatening for human consumption.However, if you create an emotional headline about food safety, it’s hard for today’s news organizations to not jump quickly on the reporting of it.Never in the history of the world has fiction had a chance to be spread so quickly.Worth the supplemental reading is by Saskatchewan farmer Jake Leguee who has written what I think to be the best take on the subject on the use of glyphosate. It’s worth you reading and sharing as well. China Suspends Canadian Canola Exports While we know of at least one emergency meeting by the Canadian International Trade Committee, made up MPs from all sides of Parliament, it doesn’t seem like it’s done much good.Late this week, we’ve found out that China is now refusing purchases of all Canadian canola exports, regardless if it’s from Richardson or any other player.For perspective, China’s imports account for about 40% of all Canadian international shipments of canola seed, oil, and meal. This includes at least 20% of all Canadian production of canola seed. As I understand it, the Canadian government is trying to have a technical conversation with the Chinese on the subject of canola exports, but the latter has no interest in talking scientific facts. What else would there be to talk about?Politics.Thus, it’s another issue where emotions will rule the day, and not fact. Ultimately, while today’s FarmLead Breakfast Brief might be a bit less specific to grain markets happenings like it normally is, the issues discussed above have more of a long-term/tailwind impact on the industry and it’s healthy to bring them up here and there. I inherently trust in the forecast from the NOAA and manage risk exposure in terms of what could happen to grain markets accordingly. Namely, I think the reporting from NOAA is supportive of grain prices in the short-term, and if the NOAA proves to be correct, likely in the long-term as well. Intuitively I ask the question then: if society is willing to trust the NOAA, why don’t we trust other experts and/or other scientific facts?

The grain sector is a key driver of Canada’s economic growth, exporting 20.5 million tonnes of wheat in 2017 and $21 billion in exports sales. Today, Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood announced an investment of up to $6.2 million to help the Canadian International Grains Institute (Cigi) expand the market for Canadian wheat through technical support, market research, employee exchanges and customized training for customers and commercial partners in over 50 countries. This project, funded through the AgriMarketing Program, under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, will enable Cigi to strengthen relations with buyers and prevent future market access issues, while expanding existing markets and developing new opportunities around the world. Today’s announcement is part of Minister Bibeau’s first agricultural tour. Minister Bibeau is meeting with farmers, processors and industry leaders, as well as participate in local agricultural events, to highlight strategic federal agricultural investments and programs and how they will help to build an even stronger and more innovative sector for Canada. The tour began on March 11 in Vernon, British Columbia and ends today in Winnipeg, Manitoba with stops in Kelowna, B.C. and Calgary, Alberta. “The Canadian International Grains Institute has been successful in their sustained efforts to ensure buyers here and abroad have a better knowledge and trust in Canadian wheat quality. This investment demonstrates that the Government of Canada is committed to supporting the grains sector, improving their competitiveness and fostering continued economic growth for our middle-class and long-term prosperity for all Canadians,” notes Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood.

“The Government of Canada knows how valuable the Canadian International Grains Institute’s work is for the cereal grains sector. This funding will enable Cigi to reinforce buyers’ confidence in Canadian wheat quality to develop existing and new markets, spurring job creation and economy expansion for this region,” chimed Robert “The Falcon” Ouellette and Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre “The Government of Canada has been a key contributor to Cigi’s success throughout its 47-year history. Over the next three years this funding from the Canadian Agricultural Partnership program will be used by Cigi to maintain confidence in Canadian wheat quality in international markets, improve customer knowledge of the performance and functionality of Canadian wheat, and gather and share information on customers’ end-use requirements with the Canadian value chain,” added JoAnne Buth, CEO, Canadian International Grains Institute The Canadian Agricultural Partnership is a five-year, $3 billion investment by federal, provincial and territorial governments to strengthen the agriculture and agri-food sector. In 2017, Canada’s grain sector exported 20.5 million tonnes of wheat. The Canadian International Grains Institute (Cigi) is a not for profit organization established in 1972 to work with the grain and field crop value chain throughout Canada and internationally to drive the development and increase the use of Canadian agricultural products. This funding was made under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership’s AgriMarketing Program: National Industry Association (NIA) Component, a five-year, up to $121 M federal initiative that aims to increase and diversify exports to international markets and seize domestic market opportunities.

Feed Pea & Faba Bean Feed Benchmark Pricing

Beware of these early grazing pitfalls

Week of March 15 - March 19, 2019

Central Southern Saskatchewan Manitoba

Market Comments -Feed barley and feed wheat have maintained firm prices over the past couple weeks with concerns about availability during road bans and planting season in April and May. Proteins have remained relatively flat. Feed peas have remained fairly flat at the $275-285. AB: $309 SK: $306 MB: $288 * 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.

Feed is low and the snow is melting... how soon is too soon for early grazing? Tweet this “Livestock should go out on pasture when grasses have developed three to four new leaves,” says Christine O’Reilly, Ontario Minis-

“If livestock are turned out too early year after year, weeds that begin their growth later in spring than grasses may be able to outcompete the plants producers want in their pastures,” adds O’Reilly.

IGNITES2 SOIL STARTER AND SUPPLEMENT START STRONG... FINISH STRONG • Makes NPK more available to plants. • Improves crop quality and yields. • Improves natural resistance to pests and drought. • Suppresses soil borne pathogens reducing the need for chemical pesticides and fungicides. • Minimizes the impact of pH extremes. • Improves water management within soil.

It’s not all about the NPK

• Earlier maturing crop. • Foliar spray application. • Mixes with all herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides for one pass application.

continued - grazing pitfalls, pratfalls

For those pastures, it will be that much more important to get adequate rest in the spring to reestablish their root reserves. “In general, we’re probably putting our cattle out too early even in the good years,” MacLeod says. Shortages and cold Winter hasn’t been kind to producers with low supplies, and Alberta Agriculture’s beef and forage specialist Barry Yaremcio points out cold in his province has caused increased feed consumption. Hay shortages and extreme cold have challenged many Prairie producers this winter. They worry if they’ll have enough feed to hold their animals over till pastures are ready, says Lindquist. Options

Licensed • Insured 17 Years of Experience

Farmers may have to resort to buying more feed and/or custom feeding. Alberta Agriculture’s CowBytes software program can assist in ensuring livestock receive a balanced ration of nutrients. Lindquist adds creep feeding can provide supplemental feed for calves. That can be onethird peas mixed with two-thirds oats and barley, or corn.

Cattle in areas that experienced dryness and feed shortages last fall may have stayed on fields longer than ideal, meaning those pastures went into winter overgrazed, says Cedric MacLeod, executive director of the Canadian Forage and Grassland Association.

MacLeod says another option is reducing inventory. “If guys are holding heavy calves, if there are cows out there that should be culled from the herd, now is the time to do it, as opposed to limiting your forage production into the future,” he says. The downside is depressed cull cow prices, but the risk of not selling is inadequately feeding your herd, MacLeod says. Bottom line Cattle farmers are facing hard choices amid feed shortages but are urged to consider other options such as custom or creep feeding or even reducing inventory before early grazing. Putting livestock on pasture too early can damage both plant and animal health. Article by: Richard Kamchen

The Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario have heard farmers’ concerns and are responding with new steps to improve the corn production insurance plan. A new tiered corn salvage benefit will be introduced in support of requests from farmers who dealt with deoxynivalenol (DON) in their corn crop last year due to wet weather.

The new tiered salvage benefit will more accurately reflect the additional costs associated with harvesting and handling corn affected by DON and help producers trying to find a market for it. The support, provided under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, will begin in the 2019 crop year for eligible corn farmers, and the salvage benefit is expanded to include organic corn producers. This new corn salvage benefit builds on previous government responses to DON-impacted Ontario farmers, including: Establishing a partnership with the Grain Farmers of Ontario on proposed research into such areas as developing best management practices for in-season mitigation of DON and for effectively managing the storage of highDON corn. The provincial government extending its Commodity Loan Guarantee Program loan repayment deadline, giving producers affected by DON additional time to market their corn. The Ontario government also increased the maximum guaranteed loan limit, on a pilot basis, from $120 million to $200 million for the 2019 and 2020 program years. Launching a cost-share program through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership to provide special assistance to farmers experiencing revenue loss over testing for DON. In addition to the supports to help manage the impacts of DON, the Ontario government also hosted two roundtable sessions with industry representatives to work on connecting farmers with mental health supports and to provide solutions to help the sector find alternate markets for high-DON corn.

14 The Northern Horizon, March 29, 2019

Finally, spring weather in Canada B.C. emerges from a cool, wet winter The cold, wet winter weather conditions are transitioning to spring with temperatures expected to be above normal through the end of March. Rainfall is expected to be close to normal in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, the warmer temperature will increase the chances of flooding in the interior mountain passes. This may cause some disruptions to grain movement to the West Coast. Canada

The forecast during the last half of March is calling for above normal temperatures across the country. Although the winter has not been that severe in parts of eastern and central Canada, the warmer

Precipitation has also varied from blizzards to heavy rain. The warmer conditions should also keep the precipitation in liquid form for the rest of the month. This change in conditions should help farmers get into the fields in a timely manner in April. The warmer temperatures will also help with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The lower seaway is scheduled to begin operations before the end of March and the warmer temperatures will help melt the existing ice on the Great Lakes. Prairie temperatures begin to climb

Ashford 30

Temperatures across Western Canada have been well below normal from mid-January through midMarch. During this period, the forecasts and actual weather has been consistently below normal. Temperatures in the last two weeks of March are expected to reach normal to above normal values across the Prairies. This warm spell should melt the existing snowpack and allow planting to begin in a reasonably normal time frame. The rapid turn to above normal temperatures will increase the chances of flooding in southern Manitoba as a heavy snowpack in the Dakotas and Minnesota will melt rapidly. The main concern in the central and southern Prairies is the lack of subsoil moisture. Snowfall across the southern and central Prairie re-

gions has been well below normal over the past three months. Timely rains are going to be needed this growing season due to the lack of subsoil moisture in the southern two-thirds of the Prairies. Bottom line Despite the cold conditions over the winter, it appears spring is just around the corner. The largest concern for planting is that many areas of Western Canada did not receive normal precipitation this winter. This will increase the need for timely rains this growing season. Warm temperatures should keep precipitation in liquid form for the rest of the month. Bruce Burnett is the director of markets and weather at Glacier Farm Media.

The Northern Horizon, March 29, 2019

Get ready - most of the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame ballots farm’s history. Alain continues to train a few of the homebreds, as well as yearling sale purchases, racing primarily in the Québec market. Veilleux sits on the board of Standardbred Canada, currently as a Breeder Director for Québec and has been instrumental in operating the fair circuit of racing in Québec (Le Circuit régional) The 2019 Standardbred Driver Ballot features Luc Ouellette, Trevor Ritchie and Larry Walker Driver Luc Ouellette, winner of the 2004 O’Brien Award, was successful in Canada and the United States. In addition to being the twotime leading driver on the Woodbine Entertainment Group circuit in 2004 and 2005, he was the leading driver at the Meadowlands in 1999, 2000, 2002, and 2003. A winner of 8,589 races and almost $137 million in earnings, he won 10 Breeders Crown races during his driving career with horses including Anndrovette, Brigham Dream, and Armbro Amoretto. Before retiring from driving in 2014, Trevor Ritchie won many premier races in North America including the North America Cup, Meadowlands Pace, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Prix d’Ete, Provincial Cup, Metro Pace, Canadian Pacing Derby, Trotting Classic Final for mares, and Champlain Stakes. During his career he had 3,710 driving wins and drove horses to over $70 million in purse earnings. Ritchie enjoyed a career year in 2000 when he won the Hambletonian with Yankee Paco, marking the first time a Canadian-sired horse won that event. Later that year he won three Breeders Crown Championships, tying him with John Campbell as the only other driver in history at the time to accomplish that feat, and he was voted Canada’s Driver of the Year. During his driving career Larry Walker, son of Hall of Fame Allan Walker, accumulated 2,394 wins and $21,116,465 in earnings in 16,925 starts. Born in Owen Sound, ON, Walker won his first race at Mohawk Raceway in 1963 and later earned a reputation as a trotting specialist. In the Standardbred Trainer category voters will select from John Bax, William Robinson and Jimmy Takter Trotting specialist and 2001 Canadian Trainer of the Year, John Bax’s most prominent pupil to date is Hall of Fame gelding Goodtimes, a winner of 50 races and over $2.2 million in earnings, making him the richest Canadian-bred trotter of all time when he retired. Other Bax trainees include 2001 Breeders Crown winner Duke of York, Define the World – the Ontario Sires Stakes (OSS) 3-year-old trotter of the year in 2008, Riveting Rosie – OSS Super Final winner and O’Brien divisional winner in 2013 and 2014. In the 2014 Peaceful Way Stakes a trio of

Bax trainees — Stubborn Belle, Juanitas Fury, and Southwind Champane — swept the triactor. John’s training stats include 822 wins and $22.8 million in earnings Trainer William (Bill) Robinson of Caledonia, Ont., is a four-time winner of the O’Brien Award as Canada’s Trainer of the Year (1993, 1994, 2002, 2003). During his career he amassed earnings of $54.8 million in 8,998 starts (27381380-1081). Horses successfully campaigned under Robinson’s tutelage included Hall of Fame members Mach Three and Precious Bunny, along with Riyadh, Presidential Ball, Art Major, Cams Card Shark, Dragon Again and Western Dreamer. Swedish-born, U.S.-based Standardbred trainer Jimmy Takter has seen tremendous success on Canadian soil. With 1,325 starts in Canada, he has visited the winner’s circle 266 times and collected purse earnings of more than $34.2 million. Takter has won 103 stakes races on the Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG) circuit. Horses trained by Takter have won a total of 19 O’Brien Awards, including at least one O’Brien Award in 15 of the 19 years between his first award in 1999 with Moni Maker and his most recent with The Ice Dutchess in 2018.

The Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame is pleased to announce its 2019 ballot. A total of 30 people and horses comprised of 15 Standardbred and 15 Thoroughbred candidates, have been selected to appear on the voting ballot. A 20-person Election Committee for each breed will determine the winners in their respective categories. Results will be announced Tuesday, April 9th. The five categories selected by the Standardbred nominating committee to appear on the 2019 Standardbred ballots are Builder, Driver, Trainer, Female Horse and Male Horse. For the first time, the Driver/Trainer category has been divided into two separate categories. Standardbred Builder Category candidates include Ian Fleming, J. Hugh Proudfoot and Alain Veilleux Ian Fleming’s career in the horse racing industry began as race secretary at his home track in Clinton, ON. That evolved into managing the racetrack and from there he went on to create a centralized Race Office for several Ontario tracks in the 1990s, which now services racetracks across the province. Fleming was also the Racing & Gaming Manager at Western Fair Raceway for a number of years. In addition to his racing related responsibilities, he continues to find ways to give back to the industry and his community through fundraising initiatives such as the bi-annual Legends Day at Clinton Raceway. The 2017 edition of Legends Day hosted harness racing fans from across North America to witness John Campbell’s final career race. Ian was also an important part of the fundraising efforts following the Classy Lane Fire. J. Hugh Proudfoot, born in Fort Coulonge, Que. in 1912, was an active harness racing participant as a breeder, trainer, owner and executive. His Pontiac Farm was a successful racing operation for decades throughout Québec and Ontario. Proudfoot was a leader when it came to sponsoring races at Fort Coulonge, Chapeau, Shawville, Pembroke and beyond. As an executive he served as a Director of the Canadian Trotting Association (C.T.A) for 11 years, as Vice-President for seven before becoming President of the C.T.A. in 1959. He had great vision as evidenced by his belief that the C.T.A. and Canadian Standardbred Horse Society (CSHS) should amalgamate. He also believed that the C.T.A. should provide insurance for drivers and advocated licensing women drivers. Alain Veilleux of St-Hughes, Que., the son of CHRHF honoured member Gerard Veilleux is a second generation horseman who is involved in all aspects of harness racing. The family’s Standardbred operation, Ferme Drummond, continues to breed, with an estimated 600 plus horses carrying the Drummond name throughout the

16 The Northern Horizon, March 29, 2019 Great Memories, by Apaches Fame and out of Armbro Emerson daughter Save the Memories, was bred by Glengate Farms and is now owned by Ontario Standardbred nursery Warrawee Farm. Among Great Memories’ offspring are two world champions: Warrawee Needy, and Warrawee Ubeaut. Warrawee Needy was a winner of 29 races and more than $1.25 million. He took a mark of 1:49.4s at age two, was faster still at three (1:48.4s) and at four was the fastest in the world (1:46.4). Warrawee Ubeaut, won the 2018 Breeders Crown for two-yearold pacing fillies, has a lifetime mark of 1:48.3 and earned $646,995 in 12 starts. In total Great Memories’ nine racing age progeny have earned over $2.66 million, with three breaking the 1:50 barrier (the third being Big Bay Point) Put On A Show, a daughter of Rocknroll Hanover, earned over $2.4 million, with 31 wins in 50 starts. On Canadian soil during her twoyear-old season she won the Eternal Camnation as well as an elimination and final of the Shes A Great Lady, and was second in both the twoyear-old filly pace elimination and final of the Breeders Crown at Woodbine. At three she won the Simcoe Stakes, as well as an elimination of the Fan Hanover and finished second in the final. Tricky Tooshie was bred and owned during her racing career by Laurent Bergevin of Québec. Trainers included her co-breeder Jean L. Deblois, followed by Rick Zeron and then Linda Bedard. In seven years of racing she made 142 starts for a 44-29-24 record, posted a mark of 1:52.1 at Woodbine Racetrack and earned $1,005,566, becoming the first Canadian-sired mare to reach $1 million in earnings. As a broodmare, 11 of her 13 foals made it to the races to earn over $3 million for average earnings per starter of $284,000. Her richest foal was True North Hanover, a winner of $732,912. Nominated in the category of Standardbred Male Horse are Angus Hall, Earl and Shadow Play As a racehorse Angus Hall earned $830,554 in 26 lifetime starts and set a mark of 1:54.3. To date his offspring have earned over $102 million, including six millionaires: 2008 CHRHF inductee Peaceful Way, Majestic Son, Elusive Desire, Winning Mister, Frenchfrysnvinegar and Laddie. His contribution to trotting bloodlines continues through top broodmares whose offspring have earned over $45 million. Earl, a winner of 35 races and over $984,000 in his career, was the first horse in Canadian harness racing to three-peat as an O’Brien Award winner. When he retired, he was the Canadian record holder on a seven-eighths mile track (1:54.2s), a five-eighths mile track (1:55f) as well as the co-holder, with Mack Lobell, of the world record on a half-mile track (1:56h). As a stallion, Earl sired two millionaires — O’Brien Award winner JM Vangogh (1:52.4s;

$2,285,500) and trotting mare Earl Of My Dreams (1:55; $1,016,611). His North American sire stats show 351 starters from 490 foals, with total progeny earnings of $32.7 million. Shadow Play earned $1,559,822 with 20 wins, 9 seconds and 5 thirds in 49 lifetime starts and took a record of 1:47.4 as a four-year-old. The son of The Panderosa, trained and co-owned by Dr. Ian Moore along with R G MC Group Ltd., and Serge Savard for most of his racing career, won several stakes events including the 2008 Little Brown Jug. As a sire standing at Winbak Farm in Ontario, and now owned by the Shadow Play Syndicate, he has sired the winners of over $28.9 million including three-time O’Brien Award winner and double millionaire Lady Shadow and millionaire Percy Bluechip. The five categories selected for the 2019 Thoroughbred ballot are Builder, Jockey, Trainer, Female Horse, and Veteran Horse A Thoroughbred Builder ballot comprised of Phillip Kives, Sam Lima and Bory Margolus is offered for voter consideration. The late Phillip Kives, based in Manitoba, known worldwide as the owner of K-Tel and the inventor of the info-mercial, became involved in thoroughbred racing in 1977 with the launch of K-4 Stables (later changed to K-5) to recognize the addition of his son to the Kives family. His passion for racing continued for four decades until his passing in 2016. Kives owned and bred horses were of multiple stakes races at Winnipeg’s Assiniboia Downs as well as in Kentucky, Florida, New York, Ontario, and Alberta. As owner, Mr. Kives won every single stakes race at Assiniboia not just once but multiple times each, including two Manitoba Derbies, (best 3-year-olds) eight Gold Cups (race for top older horses) three Winnipeg Futurities, (best 2-yearolds) and five Matrons (top filly/mare). The late Sam Lima’s involvement in racing spanned 57 years as an owner, a promoter of the sport through the Toronto Thoroughbred Racing Club and in the many positions he held with the HBPA, where he was a leader and advocate for the services and resources available to track workers, not only while they were in the industry, but following their time on the backstretch. Sam was also the first Chairman of the Fort Erie Advisory Board from 1985-1994 and advocated diligently for the continuation

Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic Colostrum Bank

The Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic has a colostrum bank where horse owners can donate colostrum from mare’s that have lost their foals to help save an orphan foal.

of racing at Fort Erie. In 1992, Sam played an important role in establishing a simulcasting policy that still remains today. Mr. Lima, who recently passed away was recognized in 2018 by the Jockey Club of Canada with the E. P. Taylor Memorial Award for his lifetime contributions Alberta-based Bory Margolus was a successful business executive who would also become a leading force in Western Canada’s thoroughbred racing industry. From the time he purchased his first horse in 1952 until his retirement from the industry in 1986, Mr. Margolus and his Elmbrook Farm near Edmonton were dominant in Alberta as leading money-winning owner for nine consecutive years. He also received national racing recognition in the form of two Sovereign Awards – in 1975 as Canada’s Oustanding Owner and in 1977 as Outstanding Breeder. Gary Boulanger, Richard Dos Ramos and Mickey Walls have been selected to appear on the Thoroughbred Jockey ballot Edmonton, Alberta born Gary Boulanger began his riding career in 1987, spending his early years at tracks in the U.S. and earning leading jockey status at Longacres Racetrack (1989, 1990, 1991) and Calder Race Course (1994, 1995). In 2000 Boulanger returned to Canada, riding primarily at Woodbine. In 2001, the top money winning year of his career, he rode Hall of Fame filly Dancethruthedawn to wins in the Canadian Oaks and Queen’s Plate Stakes. Despite suffering what could have been career ending injuries from a racing accident at Gulfstream Park in 2005, Boulanger fought back and continues to ride, splitting his time between Florida and Woodbine. The 2017 Avelino Gomez Award recipient has to date won 3,578 races, including 41 grades stakes and has earnings of over $78 million. Richard Dos Ramos retired from riding in 2013 as the senior statesman of the Woodbine Jockey’s Room following a career that began in 1981 at Greenwood, where a total of 142 wins garnered him the Sovereign Award as Canada’s top apprentice jockey. He won a second Sovereign in 1982. During the 1990’s the Trinidadian born jock experienced some of his top career highlights including his 1992 upset aboard Benburb over legendary A.P. Indy in the Molson Export Million and a 1999 longshot victory in the $1.5 million Canadian International aboard Thornfield, both trained by CHRHF honoured member Philip England. His success continued through the millennium when he was the distinguished recipient of the Avelino Gomez Memorial Award in 2002 and followed up the same day with a win in the Canadian Oaks with Ginger Gold. Dos Ramos’ career stats include 2,159 wins in 18, 645 starts and almost $61 million in earnings. Mickey Walls, born in Vancouver, BC to a horse racing family, he was destined to be involved in the racing industry. In 1990 at age 16, Walls won his first Sovereign Award as Canada’s outstanding Apprentice Jockey. The following year he won both the Outstanding Apprentice Jockey and Outstanding Jockey Award, and the Eclipse Award in the U.S. Following time off to recuperate from injuries in 1992 he returned in 1993 to once again be Woodbine’s leading rider. After competing in the US at various tracks, he returned to his homeland in 1996, winning the final two legs of the Canadian Triple Crown. In 1999 he won the Queen’s Plate aboard Woodcarver. Wall’s career stats over his 12 year career include 1,453 wins in 8,868 races and earnings of $37.3 million. The Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame 2019 Induction Ceremony will be hosted at the Mississauga Convention Centre on Wednesday, August 7, 2019.

The Northern Horizon, March 29, 2019

Weed experts watching spring melt conditions Mother Nature is throwing another curve ball this spring at weed forecasts, thanks to appreciable snowfall in some parts of the country’s farming areas that may spark flooding. If that happens, weed seed distribution can be extended significantly by floodwaters. This is an immediate concern in Ontario’s southwest, where snow melt and ice jams on the Thames River cause problems, and in Manitoba, where eyes are fixed on the Red River basin. “A lot depends on the snow melt right now,” says Rob Gulden, a weed ecologist at the University of Manitoba. “Some overland flooding is expected in Canada and the U.S., and that may result in a wider distribution than normal of weeds, including some encroachment from resistant weeds from the U.S. Flooding will also influence weed emergence times.” Weed pressure expected to be high Observers like Gulden were already expecting a flush of some weed species such as green foxtail and pigweed. That’s because the weed seed bank for these seeds was well replenished last summer and fall, owing to the dry weather. Now, when the heavy snow accumulation melts, soil moisture levels will be high. That will provide that replenished seed bank an opportu-

nity to take hold once the weather warms up.

Weeds are hiding in plain sight

“These are good conditions for early weed recruitment,” Gulden says. Ontario’s watchlist

Bilyea says waterhemp is an example of “a weed that hides in plain sight,” with its close resemblance to native pigweeds.

In Ontario, weed science technician Dave Bilyea at the University of Guelph’s Ridgetown Campus compiled a list of a dozen weeds to watch for this season in the province, along with other problem weeds and noxious weeds.

The same goes for dog strangling vine, another weed on Bilyea’s watch list. In eastern Ontario, some pastures have been beset with this weed, which develops in nearby woodlots amid other weeds such as poison ivy and wild grape. It too hides in plain sight until it starts creeping into fields and pastures.

Half of them have already developed some measure of herbicide tolerance: Annual bluegrass Northern willowherb Kochia Scouring rush Yellow evening primrose “They’re not widespread yet, but they’re upand-comers we need to watch,” Bilyea says. One of them, waterhemp, is a huge problem in the United States, he says, where it’s developed resistance to more than three modes of action. Now, it’s creeping northward and already arrived in parts of Ontario. Another weed from the U.S. to watch is palmer amaranth, which is found in the United States around the Great Lakes and will inevitably arrive in Canada.

Bilyea says early detection of any weed species is key. “It’s all about scouting and awareness,” he says. “Knowing what’s regular in your fields will help identify new weeds that need to be addressed. But even the ones to watch aren’t everywhere. If we know they’ve arrived, we have a chance to control them before they spread.” Bottom line Weed forecasts are influenced greatly by significant snowfall in many of the country’s farming areas that may spark flooding. Field scouting will be critical this spring for weed monitoring and staying on top of any possible problems, especially from herbicide resistant weeds. Article by: Owen Roberts

Northern Rockies launches emergency alert system Residents in the Northern Rockies are being encouraged to sign up for the municipality’s new emergency notice system. The Voyent Alert system will alert residents of emergencies such as wildfires and floods, and other critical incidents, according to the NRRM. “The Northern Rockies has a great new tool to inform people in the case of an emergency – in this connected age, the municipality is able to convey information at a critical point in time, using the most popular communication methods available,” Mayor Gary Foster said in a news release. Residents can register to receive alerts through their mobile or landline phones, or through email or text messaging.

The Northern Horizon, March 29, 2019

SHEPHERD’S DIARY

by Andy Tschetter

A new columnist to catch while looking at the Northern Horizon

Andy Tschetter is in charge of the sheep operation at the Peace View Hutterite Colony and provides a diary account of wintertime experiences with the sheep, as well as highlights from the past years travels in the Peace region. FEBRUARY 1 The day dawns with snow. Tiny flakes falling thick and fast with wind from the north; adding extremity to brutish -30°C greeting the start of our shortest month of the year. With the early morning death grip on the air feeding my desire to get food to the sheep, I make my way to the hilltop with fresh hay. My first priority on cold days. A pair of crows sit motionless near the top of the brushpile. Muffled banter between the two bloodless critters offers some semblance of life as the stiff legged sheep venture from the natural wind shelter to feed on good alfalfa/bromegrass put aside especially for colder days like this given added energy requirements the elements demand of the sheep. Oh the snow! FEBRUARY 2 A near crisis duly averted today while visiting the local Tim Horton’s in Dawson Creek in search of a sour cream glazed donut – a royal accompaniment to coffee laden with cream & sugar, doubly so. The tray was empty! Zero glazed donuts. Zilch! None! And this was only 1:00 p.m., early enough in the day for the store to wield sufficient supply. Alas the fact that there prevailed in the cooking area of said establishment a tray of fresh baked sour cream glazed donuts awaiting at least a partial stiffening of the icing and subsequent authorization of sale – was information unclassified as the sympathetic store employee scuttled to the back to retrieve the baked treats. Whew! A full half dozen sour cream glazed donuts! FEBRUARY 3 The cold front is firmly set and hunkered right down this Sunday. A pristine winter sun is out, with masterful artistry embracing the

trees and snow. Our lone Border Leicester ewe is a positive nuisance. A dainty creature, her magnificent coat of wool is curly with a soft Mohair-like sheen and ears pointed straight in the air, this one succeeds time and again in getting wither the oat bucket or mineral tray stuck upside down on her head, showcasing her panicked antics to the other ewes, parading madly about in the snow – her vision obliterated with the bucket atop her head. The Bible’s John 10 springs to mind as I free the perplexed creature, restraining myself from renaming her after Wallis Simpson. (official look-alike) I digress; though our old Dorset ram – “Diefenbaker” did bear a striking resemblance to the man himself. Our Lord likens Himself as the Shepherd of the Church or ‘flock’. In like manner depicting the seemingly humble and adoring ovine as characterizing His kindred subjects (mankind, that is) The Shepherd makes provision for all the different sheep. For the regal Suffolk, the levelheaded Texel; the stubborn Dorset; the diplomatic Southdown; the bug-eyed Cheviot; even the unsightly Norfolk Horn – our Lord makes no distinction for better or worse. As he put it in verses 14 and 15, “I am the good Shepherd and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.” Alas, I beg to conclude here that Madame Leicester deserves the same love and attention as the sheep all do and take consolation that our dainty subject showed no apparent reaction to being told she could be sent to ‘Freezerland’. FEBRUARY 4 The sheep are wintered out in the open fields from November through to mid-April, when their 147 day gestation period draws to a close. From there they meander closer to homequarters near the barn where a yearly allotment of royal treatment awaits them as we move closer to lambing where the pregnant ewes lounge in the barn upon fresh straw and birth their young with relative ease, each animal enjoying a twoday ‘hospital stay’ in the lambing jugs set up

for the birthing mothers. In the fall after the lambs are weaned, separated and organized for sale as feeder lambs or possible grain finishing, depending on prevailing prices – the ewes are then moved to what looks to be our best quality pastures the late summer can provide, to help them regain body condition after having subsequently been wormed in preparation for late November breeding. By this time with deepening snow being a detriment to the ewes getting adequate winter greenery by pawing in the snow, it is time to commence winter hay feeding. Paddocks that were overgrazed during the summer as well as areas in immediate need of fertilizer make for ideal places to winter feed the ewes. The tight proximity of the animals feeding together leaves a wide swath of manure and straw clippings in the field, helping to regenerate the soil. Better yet, a hungry springtime ground is happy to ‘swallow up’ the added organic matter. I’ve noticed lush new growth in these areas otherwise sparse from overgrazing. A word of caution here – keep feeding on new ground every day to avoid buildup of too much matter, it’ll suppress spring growth. Unless these ‘compact’ spots can be raked over, it’ll take until the following year for grass to poke through. Our soil is a life force amazing enough that the extra organic matter isn’t too big a dose of enzymatic pulp for there to rebound sufficient growth the following year. The human equivalent could be an overload on Kefir perhaps, or yogurt. Mmmm. So there’s tremendous benefit for all involved. We also talk about overgrazing, we all want to avoid it, but it certainly happens; more often than not by inadvertent sanctioning of this shepherd, given the ewes’ preference for bedding down at the top of a hill or corner of the field closest to home base. The woolly, grass-loving ovine never quite relinquishes her built-in eternal drive for home. All that manure deposited naturally out there on pasture is time and money saved not having to haul it there mechanically come spring. Hence a squeaky clean home base when the sheep come in for shearing and lambing. Sauerkraut anyone??

Budget 2019: helping Canadians find and keep good jobs and stuff Since 2015, the Government of Canada has focused on strengthening and growing the middle class, and offering real help to people working hard to join it. This plan is working: since November 2015, hard-working Canadians have created more than 900,000 new jobs. Budget 2019 is the next step in the Government’s plan to make sure middle class Canadians benefit from Canada’s economic growth. That includes helping more Canadians find an affordable home, prepare for good, well-paying jobs, retire with confidence and afford the prescription drugs they need. Today, in Plessisville, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Marie-Claude Bibeau, highlighted how investments in Budget 2019, Investing in the Middle Class, would help Canadians find and keep good jobs in a rapidly changing job market and in an increasingly competitive global economy. Through Budget 2019, the Government is taking concrete action for students and workers of all ages by: Helping workers gain new skills with the creation of the new Canada Training Benefit, a benefit that will give workers money to help pay for training, provide four weeks of income support during training every four years, and, with

the cooperation of the provinces and territories, ensure that leave provisions are introduced so that workers can take the time away from work to pursue training without risking their job security. Providing more on-the-job learning to young Canadians by creating up to 84,000 new student work placements per year by 2023-24, a significant step toward making sure every student who wants to gain relevant, real-world experience can find a work placement. Enhancing support for apprenticeship, encouraging more people to consider training and working in the skilled trades. Creating meaningful opportunities through the Canada Service Corps for young Canadians to learn new skills, gain leadership experience and contribute to their communities. Supporting Indigenous post-secondary education with measures designed to help First Nations, Inuit and Métis students obtain the skills and experiences they need to succeed, leading to stronger economic growth for all Canadians. Creating opportunities for young Canadians to travel, work or study abroad and gain skills needed to succeed in a global economy. Canadians are among the mostskilled, highest-educated workers

in the world, and through Budget 2019 the Government is ensuring Canadians can keep their skills relevant so that they can build good careers and benefit from Canada’s growing economy. “Jobs today demand more skills, and workers need to be able to adapt throughout their careers. With Budget 2019, our Government is helping Canadians get the skills and experience they need to find and keep the good jobs that are being created each year. We are supporting workers in Quebec like those at Fruit d’Or which relies on a skilled labor force so it can continue to grow and contribute to the prosperity of the Plessisville area,” says Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development estimates that about one in ten Canadian jobs are at high risk of automation, with about one in three jobs likely to experience significant change as a result of automation. The Government has already introduced a number of measures to help Canadian workers find and keep good jobs today, and prepare for the new good jobs of tomorrow: Budget 2016 grew Canada Student Grant amounts by 50 per cent and expanded eligibility criteria,

making it possible for more students to receive assistance they don’t have to pay back. In Budget 2017, the Government introduced its Innovation and Skills Plan – an agenda that focuses on people and addresses the changing nature of the economy. Skills Boost, a series of measures announced in Budgets 2017 and 2018, plays a key role in ensuring the Government is able to provide skills development programs that help adult learners succeed in the workforce. Budget 2018 introduced the new Pre-Apprenticeship Program, which helps people who are currently underrepresented in the trades – including women, young people, Indigenous Peoples, newcomers, and people with disabilities – prepare for an apprenticeship. Budget 2018 also introduced the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant for Women to support women entering, progressing and completing their training in Red Seal trades where women are underrepresented. The Government makes significant investments in skills development – close to $7.5 billion annually.

What are your fertilizer requirements for spring?

Doon Pauly, agronomy research scientist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, looks at spring fertilizer considerations. Soil tests are still the best way to determine levels at the beginning of the season. “We can determine where we’re starting from as far as the nitrate that is present in the soil and what’s there for the plant at the start of the year.” “Phosphorus, potassium, and salinity don’t change much year to year. However, the tests show you trends over time that gives clues about your fertilizer management,” he adds. “If your phosphorus is gradually improving, that is a sign you’re doing a pretty good job of matching at least what you are taking off the land.” Nitrogen “We hear lots of concern over nitrogen loss, so you need to consider your risk,” explains Pauly. “Your loss potential over winter is fairly low if you are in an area where you don’t typically have saturated conditions in the spring. If your normal practice in the spring is banding ahead of time, your loss potential is relatively low. We seldom have the conditions in a lot of 32nd (and final) the province where we have saturated soils after a spring fertilization event. are not at a NOWe FOOLS high risk for nitrogen lossesBULL every year.” SALE

R0011683774

Saturday, April 27, 2019 He adds that there is not a lot of loss difference between a two-pass and aYearling one-pass sys35 Red Angus Bulls • 50 Commercial Heifers tem. “However, the one-pass system should be comparable as long as the soil is sealing behind your application Lloyd equipment, and it is giving you & Donna the seed soil separation that it is designed to.” 1-800-667-2251 www.clearriverredangus.com “If you don’t want to handle a huge amount of

dry fertilizer during the seeding operation, you can design a system where you are surface applying a little bit of nitrogen or a portion of that nitrogen early in the growing season and have it work very well. Short season crops are grown here. As long as the nitrogen is in the root zone by mid-June in most of the province, you can do a lot of different application strategies.” Phosphorus How the phosphorus is placed in your field depends on what has been previously done to the land. “You will tend to see a larger effect from seed-placed phosphorus if your land is more deficient or if your phosphorus use has been less that what you have been pulling off in crops,” he adds. “You can get away with having phosphorus a little farther away from the seed if your soil tests higher, or if you have been applying a reasonable amount of phosphorus over time.” Potassium

Gaging sulphur levels in soil test samples can be difficult to determine as it is mobile and can accumulate in so-called hot spots. “That’s why typically I suspect most producers who are growing canola are putting down about 15 lb. of sulphur per acre regardless what is found in the soil test,” he says.

Pauly says that the soil test for potassium is fairly reliable. “If you are above 300 lb. of potassium based on zero to six-inch sample, the chances of you seeing a benefit from fertilizing with potash are pretty slim. But, if you are below 200 lb., then the chances of you seeing a response to your potassium on your cereal crops is actually pretty good.” “Potassium can be a benefit to land that has been silaged or had a lot of hay production. Where you are taking a lot of biomass off, potassium levels can be drawn down to the point that a chance of seeing a benefit from potassium fertilization is pretty good.” Sulphur

Century Farm and Ranch Award 125 Year Recognition Program Farm families who have continuously owned and actively operated the same land for 125 years or more are encouraged to apply.

Antler Valley Farm, north of Innisfail, received the 125 Year Recognition last summer. Ephriam McAllister started the farm in 1890. “On July 10, it will be 129 years,” says Wade McAllister, who along with his brother Scott are the fifth generation running the farm. “The farm was started by a man I will never know, but I think if he were to look at us now he would be pretty proud.” EXT:png:END EXT “My grandpa will be 87 this year, and he still

comes out to the farm quite frequently. My dad is still here, and my brother and I are fifth. I have two daughters, so the sixth generation is well on its way. Three of the six generations all live in the same yard together so that is pretty special, too.” The prerequisite for the 125 Year Recognition is that the family has previously received the Century Farm and Ranch Award, and the family continues to own and operate the same land.

Belcarra couple and corporation sue over farmland mega-mansion row A couple from Belcarra and a corporation are taking the City of Richmond to court over farmland building permits they say were unjustly cancelled prior to new, more restrictive, home size regulations being adopted by city council in December. The two separate cases filed in BC Supreme Court this week both claim the city negligently deemed their building permits to have expired because of a lack of construction activity on the respective properties. Fu Li Yu and Jing Yang of Belcarra applied to build a large home at 8551 No. 5 Road in “early 2017,” according to their claim. On Aug. 30, 2017, they were issued permits on

their five-acre property, and by that September, they claim, construction had started and never ceased. But in October 2018, city inspectors deemed otherwise and cited Bylaw No. 7300, which states permits will be discontinued if construction is suspended for more than 180 days. A similar fate befell Minster Enterprises, whose principal is Tie Jun Li. Minster’s permits were applied for in March 2017 but were cancelled by the city in September 2018 after the city claimed that no construction had taken place within 180 days. Minster has filed a more detailed account of its construction activity, noting the five-acre site at 14160 Westminster Highway first required preloading with sand to compress

CropChoice$, the crop planning and risk management software program, has been updated with current crop insurance information from Agricultural Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) along with projected crop costs. “Producers can also adjust individual crop costs and evaluate the effects that different risk management strategies will have on their operation – such as purchasing crop insurance and renegotiating land rental agreements,” explains Manglai, production crops economist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. Cropping plan probability The program also provides probabilities for achieving margins for various cropping plans and scenarios. Manglai says that typically with traditional budgets, a single

estimate of yield and price is used which only gives a simple average. “However, CropChoice$ recognizes that future crop yields and prices cannot be precisely known. Based on that, it takes the revenue calculation one step further to include your own price and yield expectations. It does so by allowing you to enter high, low and most likely price and yield values.” The program then calculates the likelihood of achieving every possible profit outcome based on those price and yield expectations. Value for producers Manglai explains the program’s value for producers. “It narrows down cropping options to find the mix of crops that gives the highest possible profitability while maintaining agronomic stability and taking into account personal risk

to the soil. As well, a drainage ditch was excavated in May 2018. The court proceedings add to a multi-year saga swirling around farmland speculation in the city’s portion of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and council’s attempt to curb mega-mansions with a new bylaw. In July 2016, when there was no practical limit to house sizes, Richmond staff brought to council’s attention an application for a 3,900-square-metre home on the ALR. Staff denied the application. Richmond passed a bylaw in December 2018 that limits ALR houses to 400 square metres, while the provincial government mandated in February a new provincewide limit of 500 square metres. The problem for the couple and

Minster appears to be that their permits were cancelled and new ones were not, or could not be, issued until after the new building regulations came into effect. Coun. Harold Steves said permits could take days or months depending on the complexity of the project. He said he wasn’t aware of the lawsuits and staff would not comment, as the city had yet to file a response. Steves said six other ALR home applicants were recently prevented from building 1,000-square-metre homes due to filing issues, but he understood their concerns have been remedied. The court documents filed this week don’t explain why the applicants did not apply for or receive new permits before the new regulations came into force.

CropChoice$ 2019 now available to download preferences.” He says that a bonus of creating a primary crop plan is that it helps producers figure out their second best option. “Once you are in the field, you don’t have time to evaluate last minute options. The wrong option can be costly.” “You can also use CropChoice$ scenarios to evaluate your crop insurance options,” he adds. “The software includes AFSC’s current offerings for risk coverage levels, insurance premiums and spring price endorsement. Use the software to evaluate your crop plans with different crop insurance scenarios before the April 30 deadline.” What to grow “The program has up to 40 dry land and irrigated crops depending on location.

MLAs talk BC politics with PRRD works – but with no timeline. “Work is being done on a business case for the Taylor Bridge, for either revitalization or replacement. “While under review, replacement is the strongest option,” said Davies. “It isn’t on the horizon yet, but a four lane option makes sense.” Work to replace Greyhound is also still ongoing, said Davies. “We are working on trying to find a local carrier.” Bernier said cross border medical issues are also rearing their heads more. “This is something we need to work on. For example STARS Air Ambulance in Grande Prairie doesn’t have a relationship with Northern Health. We need to work on that.” editor@dcdn.ca

Bernier noted while unemployment in the region at 5.5 percent was higher than the 4.5 provincial average, numbers were still strong. “Eighty one percent of people who do work are full time, while 41 percent of new jobs are from resource sectors,” he said adding caribou still gives him concern. “We’re getting to the point where the landowner is no longer considered a person, only local and provincial groups and Aboriginal groups are considered. This really gives us concern.” North Peace MLA Dan Davies said a new Taylor Bridge was in the

The risks from high canola frequency By Autumn Barnes Clubroot and blackleg management are key reasons behind the recommended minimum two-year break between canola crops. This article explains the science behind the minimum one-in-three, and shows further rationale for crop diversity. Clubroot. Research shows that clubroot pathogen spore load, disease risk and yield loss increase substantially when canola is grown frequently on clubroot-infested fields. Growing resistant varieties is an effective management tool,

but crop rotation that provides at least a two-year break must be used to maintain the effectiveness of the clubroot resistance gene on those fields. Evidence from three rotation studies done in Canada (two at Normandin, Quebec, one in Alberta) suggests that two years between host crops is the minimum to manage clubroot spores in a field. Longer breaks between canola crops are important to help protect clubroot resistance. A 90% reduction in spores in a heavily-infested field or patch still leaves a significant spore load for infection to occur

and potentially render clubroot resistance genes ineffective. Read more about clubroot management at clubroot.ca. Blackleg. Research shows that a one-year break between canola crops significantly reduces the carryover of the blackleg fungus on canola stubble, which reduces blackleg severity and the risk of yield loss. Two full years between canola crops reduces the risk even further, and a three-year break can effectively eliminate the yield loss risk from blackleg. Short breaks between canola crops will increase the risk of selecting for races of the blackleg pathogen that can overcome current resistance genetics. Canola growers should rotate blackleg-resistant (R) genetics and scout for increasing blackleg severity. Read more about R-gene rotation and blackleg management in general at blackleg.ca. Other factors Cabbage root maggot. The late Lloyd Dosdall, entomologist with the University of Alberta, worked with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) on a rotation study showing quite high root maggot damage in continuous canola. Dosdall found that a one-year break between canola crops significantly reduced yield loss as a result of root maggots. Sclerotinia stem rot disease and flying insects, such as flea beetle, bertha armyworm moth, diamond back moth, cabbage seedpod weevil and lygus bugs, do increase in severity as canola frequency and overall acres increase. However, these pests can be highly mobile and only a region-wide reduction in canola and other host crops will reduce their risk significantly. Long rotations on an individual farm will have little risk management benefit

for sclerotinia stem rot and flying insects. Volunteer canola and weed management. A recent study led by Christian Willenborg with the University of Saskatchewan found that volunteer canola is the major weed associated with continuous canola cultivation. Volunteer canola presents various risks, including yield reduction, unwanted competition to the seeded crop, increased disease build up and reduced harvest quality. This last factor occurs if volunteers mature later and increase green seed counts in the harvest sample. Yield. Crop rotation improves yields, as crop insurance data has shown. AAFC also has evidence from a long-term rotation study comparing continuous canola, canola in a two-year rotation with wheat and canola in a three-year rotation with peas and barley. When all sites and years are averaged, canola yield improved five bu./ac. with a one-year break (onein-two rotation) and another five bu./ac. with a two-year break (onein-three rotation). Crop nutrition. Higher fertilizer rates can compensate for some of the yield loss from shorter canola rotations, but as AAFC research showed, more fertilizer cannot completely close the yield gap.

Do you feel that movement afoot? Although I have not had a chance to interview the feisty Brit who started the Women Riders World Relay (https://womenridersworldrelay.com/), I can get a great sense of who Hayley Bell is by watching her videos and reading the words on the Relay website. Hayley is like so many of us gals who ride. She’s tired of riding gear that would fit if you had no hips, no chest. She’s tired of being an afterthought in this market place. She’s strong, capable, passionate, caring, and wanting to exercise her inner strength and feel beautiful while doing it. More and more, as lady riders take up motorcycling in record breaking numbers, small manufacturers, largely lady owned companies, are attempting to answer the growing call from lady riders to have gear that feels good, flatters them and protects them. Women rider - entrepreneurs Debra Chin, Ginger Damon and Aliki Karayan are three such ladies; all attempting to get more flattering, more comfortable, more functional clothing and accessories out there for this growing market. Like you, they ride and they were so frustrated that they decided to make clothing and accessories that work for the women’s work day, her playtime and her relax time. A lot of ladies commute, and having a functional bag that is also attractive is a rather important bit

of gear for the working gal. Along with the Lauren Bag that offers all kinds of smart pockets for gear, and can double as a backpack, Debra of MotoChic Gear (www.motochicgear.com) offers stylish performance socks, small purses, tees etc., and she cross markets with Gigi Montrose (Ginger Damon) and VnM Sport (Aliki Karayan). Ginger Damon of Gigi Montrose (https://gigimontrose.com) custom makes ladies riding jackets. She has two styles of denim jackets, the Fearless and Speed that are tailored and styled to flatter and yes, protect. With elements like a wax coating that makes the jackets water resistant, in a stretch denim fabric for comfort, the luxurious inner liner belies the fact that there is a full DuPont Kevlar lining throughout. The French cuffs on Fearless and longer sleeves on Speed, longer back, backpocket for your cell phone and keys are all coupled with high quality zippers and buttons. The red signature stitching finishes the jackets off beautifully. Last but not least is VnM Sport from Alili Karayan (https://vnmsport.com/) Performance clothing for racers that translate to the every day rider and are YES, MADE for the female shape! These are technologically designed articles of clothing, created from fabrics that amplify cooling, dry quickly, and are designed to improve your movement and comfort.

Ladies riding around the world in the largest relay in the world (potentially), ladies, changing how the industry views our bodies, shapes and our spending power. Ladies - women, girls, gals, sisters, mommas, we are changing the face of riding. We are the future of riding as more and more women are competing, participating, grab-

bing life by the handlebars. As a woman who rides who has been part of the community since the late 70’s, I am gratified to see so many women proudly proclaiming their femininity, their humanity, their strength by climbing on a motorcycle. Everyday a girl can ride, is a GREAT DAY!.

How much water is used to make a pound of beef?

WILLOWVIEW AUCTIONS LTD. Sunday, April 14th – 10:00 a.m.

COMPLETE INVENTORY & EQUIPMENT DISPERSAL FOR MAJESTIC TIRE – GRANDE PRAIRIE

How much water is used to make a pound of beef?

11013 – 100th Ave., grande prairie

Yes, it takes water to produce beef, but in the 2.5 million years since our ancestors started eating meat, we haven’t lost a drop yet.

Saturday, April 20th – 11:00 a.m.

SMALL ANIMAL SALE

(poultry, pigs, Sheep & goats) at the Willowview Auction yard in Beaverlodge

Based on the most recent science and extensive calculations of a wide range of factors, it is estimated that the pasture-to-plate journey of this important protein source requires about 1,910 US gallons per pound (or 15,944 litres per kilogram) of water to get Canadian beef to the dinner table. That’s what is known as the “water footprint” of beef production.

ANNUAL GRANDE PRAIRIE RCMP BIKE SALE Behind the Towne Centre mall 11801 – 100th St., grande prairie

That may sound like a lot, but the fact is it doesn’t matter what crop or animal is being produced; food production takes water. Sometimes it sounds like a lot of water, but water that is used to produce a feed crop or cattle is not lost. Water is recycled – sometimes in a very complex biological process— and it all comes back to be used again.

BROCHURE IS OUT EARLY APRIL

Water requirements vary with animal size and temperature. But on average, a 1250 pound (567 kg) beef steer only drinks about 10 gallons... (about 38 litres) of water per day to support its normal metabolic function. That’s pretty reasonable considering the average person in Canada uses about 59 gallons (223 litres) per day for consumption and hygiene. And according to the most recent Statistics Canada data, Canada’s combined household and

industrial use of water is about 37.9 billion cubic meters annually (a cubic meter equals about 220 gallons or 1000 litres of water) — we humans are a water-consuming bunch. But back to the beef industry — agriculture in general and beef producers specifically have often been targeted as being high consumers, even “wasters” of water, taking its toll on the environment. However, there’s a lot more to this story – it’s not as simple as 1,910 gallons of water being used for each pound of edible beef produced. If the beef animal itself only needs about 10 gallons of water per day to function, what accounts for the rest of the water (footprint) required for that 16 oz steak? Often in research terms the water measured in the total water footprint is broken into three colour categories. The footprint includes an estimate of how much surface and ground (blue) water is used to water cattle, make fertilizer, irrigate pastures and crops, process beef, etc. And then there is a measure of how much rain (green) water falls on pasture and feed crops, and finally how much water is needed to dilute runoff from feed crops, pastures and cattle operations (grey water). Adding these blue, green and grey numbers for cattle produced throughout the world produces a global “water footprint” for beef. It is worth noting that more than 95% of the water used in beef production is green water — it is going to rain and snow whether cattle are on pasture or not. And it is important to remember of all water used one way or another it all gets recycled.

CCA connects with Canada’s new Agriculture Minister

CCA President David Haywood-Farmer took a short break from calving at the ranch at home to meet with Minister Bibeau at an event in Vernon, B.C. The meeting followed a phone conversation Haywood-Farmer had with the Minister in the days following the cabinet shuffle. Last week, CCA representatives including executive vice president Dennis Laycraft and communications manager Gina Teel, and Beef Cattle Research Council Executive Director Andrea Brocklebank, met Minister Bibeau at an event hosted by the Calgary Chamber. The CCA and the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food have traditionally enjoyed a close working relationship when dealing with matters of importance to the long-term competitiveness of the Canadian beef industry. We look forward to building an equally positive relationship with Minister Bibeau and are excited to be working with the first female agriculture minister in Canadian history.

R0011667769

In Vernon, B.C., Minister Bibeau and B.C. Minister of Agriculture Lana Popham announced they’d triggered the late participation mechanism under the AgriStability program for the 2018 program year, a move that will benefit more B.C. producers and farmers impacted in 2018 by the wildfires. At that event, Kevin Boon, general manager of B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, and Haywood-Farmer had the opportunity to speak with the Minister about a range

TOLL FREE

of matters of importance to the beef industry. At the event in Calgary, Minister Bibeau talked about her first week on the job and the priority focus on trade, infrastructure and transportation, food guide and food policy and sustainability. Minister Bibeau noted she is from a Quebec riding with a lot of agriculture including dairy and beef, and understands that farmers are not shy to share their ideas and views. She added that she prefers to be in the field and make connections with people to understand what their challenges are and hear the solutions they suggest over briefing notes. Indeed, on her first trip through Western Canada as Agriculture Minister she visited with several farmers to hear their issues first hand. The CCA is pleased with our interactions with the Minister thus far and appreciate her interest in speaking with CCA and openness to hearing our priority issues. On Thursday, the Minister announced new funding of up to $31 million to increase the number of detector dogs at Canadian airports to help prevent illegally imported meat products from entering into Canada. The CCA had written a letter to the Government of Canada highlighting the need for increased detector dogs and heightened biosecurity at airports due to the outbreak of African Swine Fever in China. Illegally imported meat and meat products from countries affected by ASF present one of the greatest risks for introducing this animal disease to Canada. Detector dogs are the best available method to intercept meat products currently. The CCA thanks Minister Bibeau and the Government of Canada for proactively addressing the urgent nature of this animal disease matter. In addition to protecting Canada

against ASF, this investment will help address the on-going risk of highly contagious diseases like Foot and Mouth Disease entering Canada.
