Breakfast Brief WILL CANOLA EXPORTS IN 2019 ECHO 2018 SOYBEANS? (April 18, 2019, FarmLead.com) Grain prices this morning are mixed ahead of the Easter long weekend, which gives us a moment to reflect on some macro trends, namely canola exports today. Overall, the complex is trying to rebound a bit from yesterday, in addition to squaring up positions ahead of the three-day weekend. On the geopolitical front, the next round of U.S.-China talks are expected to take place in late May or early June, albeit US Trade Representative Lighthizer is expected to be in Beijing next week. At the Black Sea Grains conference last week, AgriCensus reported that the likelihood that China buys 10 MMT of U.S. corn as part of the trade war talks is practically nil. This is because 7 MMT has already been allocated for Chinese corn imports, and unless the quota is amended in a trade deal between Washington and Beijing, it’s more likely that China will continue to buy 4-5 MMT of US corn in 2019/20. Some have suggested that any increase in U.S. corn exports to China would offset more soybean exports the People’s Republic. However, at this point, the African Swine Fever disease might have more of an impact on global soybean prices than the continuation of the U.S.China trade war does. As indicated in last week’s April WASDE report, we know that China is willing to import more sunflower seed and palm oil to help make up for less soybean and canola imports. In Ukraine, the USDA’s attaché there suggests that planting rapeseed and sunflowers are providing the best profitability for farmers out all crops by a long shot at 44% and 41% ROI respectively. Staying in the Black Sea, SovEcon increased their estimate of the Russian 2019 wheat harvest to 83.4 MMT, a significant jump from their previous estimate of 80 MMT. As a reminder, Russia took off a record wheat crop of 85 MMT just 2 years ago. Nearby, a German farm co-op suggests that the wheat harvest there this year come in at 24.44 MMT. This would be about a 21% jump after last year’s dry harvest than lowered production totals. What’s Up in the Land Down Undaa? Recently the USDA equivalent in Australia, ABARES, suggested that, regardless of the hog-culling virus in China, global demand for oilseeds are only going to go up, and that China will continue to be the main driver of that! While the majority of the canola produced in Australia goes to food markets in Asia or biofuel markets in the EU, namely Germany and Belgium. The USDA’s office in Australia has matched the estimate from ABARES, suggesting that canola production in the Land Down Undaa will rebound by 68% year-over-year to 3.7 MMT in their 2019/20 crop year, which starts December 1st. This is a result of harvested acres jumping 42% from 4.7M acres last year to 6.67M in 2019. The USDA’s Aussie attaché also expect canola exports to rebound by 29% to 2.4 MMT, with Europe accounting for about 2/3s of that volume. However, should the political spat between Beijing and Ottawa continue (and Canadian canola exports remain in the middle), Australia canola exports to the People’s Republic could increase and, in turn, Canadian canola might go into those other Asian markets that Australia has normally traded with, namely South Korea, Japan, and Malaysia. This game of musical chairs would help support canola prices for both markets as it would help maintain some export demand. To verify if this is possible, just look at what U.S. soybean exports have done this year, taking up demand that Brazil, Argentina, and/or others would usually fill (but those countries were busy exporting to China). This, of course, is all on the assumption that Australia gets some much-needed rains and temperatures pull back from their above-average averages (yes, you read that correctly). The Australian Bureau of Meteorology is expecting average precipitation across the country over the next 3 months, but soil moisture in the eastern states continues to be a major concern. The problem is, especially in Eastern Australia, above-average temperatures are expected to be realized this calendar quarter, which intuitively means that the growing conditions won’t be ideal again this year. What Will Support Canola Exports, Prices? Staying in canola production, there are some farmers in Western Canada who are thinking about not even planting any canola this year because of the risks associated with China not really sitting at the trade table anymore. As mentioned in Monday’s and yesterday’s FarmLead Breakfast Briefs, I think that thanks to feed barley prices and pea prices, some lost canola acres could go into peas, flax, barley, and other cereals. Earlier this week, Agriculture Canada came out with its most recent estimates of Plant 2019 expectations. As a reminder, Statistics Canada will put out its own estimates of Canadian acreage intentions next week on Wednesday, April 24th. Canadian canola buyers are looking at doing more refining into canola oil and selling the finished product to countries that don’t have processing capacity. Mexico is already one of the top destinations for Canadian canola exports but the USDA’s attaché down there suggests that soybean crush margins are more attractive than canola. This is an example where instead of sending more straight canola exports to Mexico, sending the actual canola oil might be of more interest. While we’ll get the updated numbers from the CGC later this afternoon for Week 37 of the 2018/19 crop year, canola exports through Week 36 are tracking 7% behind last year’s pace. Also, the Canadian biodiesel industry is optimistic that some government help could increase their demand for canola and that could help boost canola prices. Currently that demand is less than 500,000 MT per year but that could grow to nearly 3.2 MMT if Environment Canada publishes its Clean Fuel Standard in 2020 with Advanced Biofuels Canada’s recommendations. While this would certainly be supportive, fewer canola acres in Plant 2019 might be the main contributor to canola prices finding $500 CAD/MT again soon.

Shovelling some fertilizer news 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 the province where we have saturated soils after a spring fertilization event. We are not at a high risk for nitrogen losses every year.” He adds that there is not a lot of loss difference between a twopass and a one-pass system. “However, the one-pass system should be comparable as long as the soil is sealing behind your application equipment, and it is giving you the seed soil separation that it is designed to.” “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 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 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.

This investment enables the maple syrup sector to expand and diversify exports, and seize opportunities for Canadian maple syrup in existing and emerging markets in the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and China. In United Kingdom, advertising and promotion activities will be developed, including new recipes to help raise awareness about maple products. The partnership established with the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts, including renowned chefs, and the academic network will allow the link of maple products and gastronomy. Similar promotional activities will be developed in Germany. A feasibility study on electronic commerce will be conducted in Japan in order to put an action plan in place. As well, a market research survey will be conducted in China to identify on-line marketing practices and strategies to promote regular consumption of maple products. “Canada’s maple syrup producers are known throughout the world for producing delicious, high-quality products. This investment will further strengthen existing markets and create potential to expand into new international markets, while growing our economy and creating well-paying jobs for our middle class,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.

All prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne Market Comments - Grains are softening further on the prairies with the expectation of reduced canola planting this spring and increased barley and wheat acres. Soybean meal has remained flat despite downward pressure with reduced trade to China, while DDGS price has also softened. As we get into planting season in May, prices may have some firmness in the short term but with downward pressure over the medium to long term. Still a lot of variables at play though with a lot contingent on weather and trade spats! Feed peas have continued to soften with prices in Saskatchewan of $260-265 and Alberta of $265-270. *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.

Plant diversity plays a significant role in flourishing pastures. Diverse forage stands offer numerous advantages, including having plants able to withstand different weather and soil conditions, says Jane Thornton, Manitoba Agriculture forage and pasture specialist. That adaptation will mitigate against drought and flood, as well as hot and cool conditions, she says.

Diversity also provides plants that are available for grazing at different times of the year, Thornton says. “When you pair species like orchard grass – a quick spring starter – and tall fescue – which will push

growth deep into the fall – with a productive legume, you spread your production throughout the entire season,” explains Cedric MacLeod, executive director of Canadian Forage and Grassland Association. Diversity Mixtures of grasses and legumes are common in Ontario, says the province’s forage and grazing specialist, Christine O’Reilly. She says forage mixtures should be selected to suit the soil — taking into account drainage, pH, and fertility — climate and management conditions where they will be grown. Thornton notes that in tame forages, some species have a high degree of adaptation and will crowd out other species. That may not do well if the weather changes and

all times, farmers need to prevent overgrazing to give their pastures rest, MacLeod says.

When he’s designing mixes for tame, reseeded pastures, MacLeod encourages producers to start out with at least 50 to 60 per cent legumes, knowing that level will diminish over time, and should not be allowed to drop below 30 per cent.

Animals seek the tastiest plants, and without a rotational grazing program, they’ll graze them down to a point from which they can’t recover.

“Common forage legumes in Ontario tend to have deep taproots, and so can reach water during dry spells that grasses may not have access to,” O’Reilly says. They don’t, however, stand up well to flooding, although MacLeod notes there’s a rhizomatous alfalfa that’s been bred in the Maritimes to help make legumes there more resilient to the region’s wet conditions. The introduction of branch rooted varieties has also increased resilience. Livestock Legumes also contain higher protein than grasses, which can help meet the dietary requirements of growing or lactating livestock, O’Reilly says.

Tips to revitalize your grasslands is to provide it rest, says agronomist and Canadian Forage and Grassland Association executive director Cedric MacLeod. Cross-fencing can provide that, splitting a pasture into paddocks. “The more paddocks you have, the longer those get to rest,” says Lardner. University of Guelph plant scientist Ralph Martin favours a system of grazing at high density for as little as a day, to help control weeds and restore conditions for desirable grasses and legumes. “The best way to restore pastures is to graze them, i.e., with high density for short periods and then allow enough recovery time before grazing that paddock again,” Martin says. Utilize the biomass down to a certain stubble height, leaving, approximately half to 40 per cent, Lardner says. “And with that high stock rate, you get the effect of manure nutrient cycling, you get the effect of hoof impaction, so you’re speeding up the recycling, decomposition process,” Lardner says.

Pastures can become unproductive after successive years of continuous grazing with little to no rest or recovery time, but they can also be rejuvenated through grazing management, specialists say. Animals will tend to selectively graze the most palatable species, but left unrestricted, they will graze those plants down, leading to bare patches welcoming to invasive, less nutritious plant species and even grasshoppers. “Overgrazing is the biggest thing leading to moving in of invader species - species that tolerate a lot of grazing and are very competitive - that can out-compete productive species for nutrients and moisture,” says Bart Lardner, beef production research scientist at the University of Saskatchewan. If the plant community suffers, so too will livestock, which aren’t receiving their energy, protein, fibre, vitamin and mineral needs. “It’s a balance between the needs of your plant community and your objectives for animal performance,” Lardner says.

Janice Goldsborough, a human resources consultant with the consulting company The HR Basics in Manitoba, recommends producers take their time to ensure they find the right people the first time. “Turnover can be very costly for anyone so taking more time to get the right people on the first try helps farms be more profitable,” Goldsborough says. “When you have the right people working in the right positions, farms become productive and can expand and grow.” Key steps Jade Reeve, manager of AgriJobs with the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council says the recruitment process includes several key steps starting with developing clear, realistic job descriptions. “Quality job descriptions help employers identify the key tasks, duties and responsibilities of a particular job and communicate that information effectively to potential applicants,” Reeve says. “A detailed and organized job description makes it easier to attract qualified workers and compare their skills and experience to the job requirements.” Other steps include writing a compelling job ad and placing it where the candidates being sought are likely to see it. During the selection process, producers also need to ensure they are compliant with Canadian laws and regulations by checking the Human Rights Act and Employment Standards. Recruitment tips

Goldsborough stresses that producers need to take their time when hiring and not just settle for the first person who comes along. Here are her top three recruitment tips:

The Northern Horizon, April 26, 2019

LEN’S TREE SERVICE LTD. • Dangerous Tree Removal • Pipeline, Right-of-Way & Lease Site Clearing

• Tree Removal & Disposal • 25 Years Experience • Now with two 65’ Reach Bucket Trucks • 12” Chipper • Stump Grinding • Fully Insured ($5 Million Liabilty) • Free Estimates • Prompt Service • Fair Pricing • Fully Equipped Seismic Line Cutting Crews Available with all Tickets & Equipment (side by side, saws)

Make sure to ask the appropriate questions during the interview. Ensure questions relate to the candidate’s ability to do the job and aren’t illegal by violating human rights. Check references if possible. They can help determine if someone is suitable for this particular farm. Have questions ready before the interview and make sure to ask each candidate the same questions. This helps to ensure an informed decision at the end when comparing answers for the same questions. To learn more on how to recruit and retain

workers, producers can visit the CAHRC website to access the AgriHR Toolkit. Bottom line Despite labour market shortages and the challenges of recruiting new employees, it’s important producers hire the right people to ensure the success of their businesses. Take time when hiring, avoid settling on the first person who comes along and access HR tools and experts to help with the recruitment process. Article by: Trudy Kelly Forsythe

Know you location, and role It began late Sunday night, October 8, 1871. Blamed on a cow that kicked over a lantern in the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary barn, the fire quickly got out of control. Within two days, the fire had killed 250 people, left 90,000 homeless, and destroyed nearly a third of the city. People said debris from the fire fell from the sky like red snow, covering the prairie for miles around. Many legends surround the Great Chicago Fire, but the truth is that emergencies often turned into tragedies in those days. In 1871, fire departments hauled their own water by horses and pumped it by hand. People reported emergencies by sending someone to the fire department. Many responders were volunteers not trained to fight fires. It is difficult to imagine a fire of such size happening today. Many homes have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, and are connected to public water systems. Public buildings have automatic sprinkler systems and quick communication with people trained to fight fires and provide first aid. One of the biggest changes in handling emergencies began in the late 1960s. Telephone systems were developed that could automatically route 9-1-1 emergency calls to local responders (police, fire, and ambulance services). In 2001, almost all counties in the United States had the 9-1-1 service from their traditional telephones. Counties without 9-1-1 service generally are rural areas with few people. In the 1980s, many areas began to adopt an enhanced 9-1-1 system. This system auto-

matically tracks the source of the telephone call. A dispatcher sees the telephone number and address of the caller on a computer screen as soon as the 9-1-1 call is received. For this system to work in rural areas, all homes must have a standardized address (street name and number). Many areas of the United States still do not have enhanced 9-1-1 service. It is always a good idea to know your address and phone number in case the dispatcher needs it. Wireless telephones, such as cell phones and mobile phones, can be a problem in emergencies. Although they are convenient, wireless telephones in most areas do not have enhanced 9-1-1 service. All family members must know their location and cell or mobile phone number whenever they use a wireless telephone for an emergency. In 1999, Americans made 190 million 9-1-1 calls. One of every four of those calls came from a wireless telephone. The dark side Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rescue systems still have a weak point: they rely on people to respond in the right ways. A good emergency response cannot prevent a tragedy from occurring, or make the ambulance arrive sooner. The best thing you can do in an emergency is to keep a cool head and know what to do.

The Northern Horizon, April 26, 2019

Don’t forget to protect your horse against core equine diseases by Dr. Mike Ross In my experience when many of us horse owners think about horse vaccination, we tend to think about respiratory disease vaccines like Flu (influenza), Rhino (rhinopneumonitis or herpesvirus), and Strangles (equine distemper). However, surprisingly enough these respiratory agents are not considered “Core” vaccine components. The definition a core vaccine is: a vaccine containing components to protect against diseases that are of high consequence and fatality in horses. Moreover, core vaccines are very effective and foster a high degree of protection to the disease as it challenges the horses immune system readily. There are also human health concerns and possible zoonosis associated with some of these core diseases. The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) identifies the following core diseases: Tetanus, Sleeping Sickness, West Nile Encephalitis, and Rabies; and are briefly described below. Tetanus is a disease caused by a bacteria found in the soil. This bacterium, Clostridium tetani, is usually introduced to the horse by a puncture wound and can be found all over Western Canada. Once in the body, the bacteria releases a potent neurotoxin which causes intense muscle contraction and spasm. Unfortunately, tetanus is 75% fatal in horses and a huge concern especially when open wounds are present. For instance, we recommend and inject every horse castrated with tetanus anti-

toxin to ensure protection against this bacteria. Furthermore, the next core disease more commonly called “sleeping sickness”, or Eastern/Western Equine Encephalitis, is caused by a virus which is spread by mosquitoes. Transmission is mainly by mosquitoes, but other bloodsucking insects have transmitted it to horses from wild birds or rodents, which are the viruses’ natural reservoirs. Once a horse is bitten by the mosquito, it transmit the virus which travels to the brain. It causes a type of brain infection called encephalitis and can result in fatality rates up to 90%, and 50% when afflicted with Eastern and Western Equine encephalitis, respectively. The exposure risk of this disease and geographical distribution varies from yearto-year depending on distribution of mosquitos and reservoirs. West Nile Encephalitis is caused by a virus which is fairly new to Canada. West Nile can afflict humans as well as other animal species. It causes a similar type of disease to sleeping sickness and is also transmitted by mosquitoes. However, this disease has rebounded in Alberta recently with a large increases in the number of cases last year. In horses, West Nile has a 33% case fatality and 70% if the horse ever becomes recumbent (goes down). The horses which recover from West Nile are reported to never be the same mentally, or may never reach the same level of athletic coordination. Finally, Rabies is a well-known disease which affects many mammalian species. It is caused by a virus and spread by an infected [rabid] animal usually via bite wounds as the virus

is harbored in saliva. Usually rabid wildlife, including raccoons, skunks, fox, and bats, are the vectors. The virus travels from the bite wounds to nerves where it migrates to the brain resulting in an encephalitis and is 100% fatal. As you may know, humans are at a high risk of obtaining this zoonotic disease so recommendation is vaccination to work towards possible eradication of the virus. This time of the year is the perfect time to begin to think about vaccination. Vaccination of your horse with a core vaccine now will ensure that your horse immune system is boosted prior to mosquito season, performance season, or regular springtime fun. It is especially important if you are traveling with your horse to southern competitions, or destinations, to have them protected against these potentially fatal diseases. Yet, that being said, a horse all alone out in pasture can get all these diseases and may be at risk as well. Luckily, there are several vaccines that include parts or all of the above mentioned diseases and recently a new vaccine has been innovated in which protects against all of the above for mentioned core diseases in one needle! If you would like to make an immunization plan to optimize your horses’ health, consult your veterinarian or call us at the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic!

Alberta Beef Producers has sent a briefing note on election priorities to the parties running in the upcoming provincial election. We encourage all parties to consider the issues important to cattle and beef producers when reviewing policy positions that impact agriculture. Grazing leases and rental rates Grazing on public lands Rangelands, which include grasslands and forest areas used for grazing, are the foundation of the province’s cattle and beef industry and grazing on Crown land under agricultural dispositions is an integral part of our industry. Grazing leases are a fundamental component of a Crown land use strategy that provides benefits to the people of Alberta and the leaseholders while maintaining our province’s rangelands as functional, working landscapes. Our objectives for functional rangelands are that these lands support efficient and economical cattle production while also meeting the environmental and social objectives of Albertans for protecting land, water, plants, and animals. Security of tenure on both private and public lands is essential for maintaining or improving health of the grazing lands. On most Crown lands under agricultural disposition, the leaseholders have relatively secure tenure. This security of tenure provides a strong incentive for leaseholders to manage the land sustainably. Secure tenure and sound oversight by Alberta Environment and Parks staff are key reasons why the land, water, and biodiversity on these lands are in good health. Secure tenure for grazing dispositions serves Albertans and leaseholders well and does not preclude the use of the land for other compatible activities or land uses. ABP recognizes Canada’s commitments to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity to achieve targets of 17% of land conserved for biodiversity in Canada by 2020, where Alberta can play an impor-

tant role in achieving these targets. However, while parks (like the Castle and Bighorn, for example), could contribute to this goal, they are not the only way to conserve lands. Under UN guidelines for Other Effective Conservation Measures (OECMs), we believe that public lands under grazing dispositions that are healthy and well managed for stewardship will be able to contribute greatly to the 17% without the necessity of becoming protected parks. If grazing dispositions are accepted as contributing to this target, this recognition will also support our interest in valuing the ecosystem services that raising cattle provides such as clean water, abundant wildlife, and carbon sequestration. In addition, this will help build public trust by demonstrating how raising livestock can play a very significant role in environmental sustainability and health. Modernizing the Grazing Rental Rate Framework A source of extreme frustration for ABP is the refusal of government to implement the proposed Grazing Lease Rental Rates Framework that was developed and supported by all grazing organizations in the province, including ABP, the Western Stock Growers Association (WSGA), the Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Association (AGLA), the Northern Alberta Grazing Association (NAGA), the Central Alberta Grazing Association (CAGA), and the Rocky Mountain Forest Range Association (RMFRA). We are all deeply worried about a countervail challenge from the U.S., especially with a strong protectionist sentiment and the completion of the CUSMA, and we know that the current grazing lease rental rate framework leaves us extremely vulnerable in this area. We know that producers will not unanimously support the proposed framework, but there is widespread support for it in the industry and unanimous support for it among grazing organizations.

Fresh flour mills nurture connection between consumers, farmers

In a small warehouse near the southern edge of Vancouver, a man scoops freshly milled flour into brown paper bags stamped Flourist that will soon ship out to customers hungry for fresh, additivefree baked goods. Farmers building connections Flourist and other fresh flour producers have seized on rising demand for whole, traceable baking ingredients, as well as a stronger connection between consumers and farmers. Flourist’s cofounders wanted to make fresh flour — the type without any additives and that needs to be stored in a fridge — available to Canadians. “Flour should be consumed fresh after milling and it just wasn’t something we had access to in grocery stores at all,” says cofounder Shira McDermott. She and her business partner purchased a custom-built stone mill from a family-owned company in Austria in 2014, but it wasn’t

until the spring of 2017 that they managed to overcome regulatory hurdles and start fulfilling orders. They now mill about a dozen varieties and ship to customers across North America, including dozens of restaurants, mostly in Vancouver. They plan to open a bakery later this year. Food trends Recent health trends, like the shift toward gluten-free and anticarbohydrate diets, pushed Canadians to eat less bread and turn to more premium varieties, according to a recent industry report from market-research firm IBISWorld. But Dara Gallinger, co-founder and CEO of Brodflour, a mill and bakery in Toronto, says there’s a market now — albeit a small one — for artisanal bread. Garret Jones, who runs Vancouver-based Lakehouse Foods, a bread subscription service, recalls that five years ago when he tried to sell fresh milled flour at the farmers’ markets, there wasn’t much

interest. Now, the general awareness around how food is made is growing, he says, and the demand for artisanal bread is likely to increase. Alternative markets for farmers These companies also provide an alternative buyer for farmers. Will Robbins is one of three partners operating the family farm he grew up on about an hour west of Saskatoon, Sask. He was looking to shorten the supply chain for his crops, and develop closer relationships with bakeries and flour mills. He learned about Flourist and now sells his French lentils and red spring wheat to the company. He wanted to make the shift because he thinks it’s important people understand where their food comes from. A cartoon sketch of his face graces the Flourist boxes containing his products. It’s also a financial benefit to him. Direct relationships

“The more as a farm we can get out of the commodity markets and into direct relationships with people the more we sort of protect ourselves from the swings of the commodity market pricing,” he says. The farm currently sells about five to 10 per cent of its crops outside commodity markets, he says, but he hopes to grow these direct relationships to 25 or 40 per cent in the near future. “I’m rooting for those companies to do well and they are for me too... It’s gratifying on a personal level.” Bottom line With growing consumer awareness about where food grows and who grows it, opportunities for farmers open up, such as selling grain and pulse crops directly to bakeries. These niche markets tend to buy at a premium and hold potential for farmers to increase profits.

Signs of pressure

In past articles, we have talked a bit about what pressure was, some places where it may appear from and how it can negatively or positively affect the dog and its training. Recognizing the signs of pressure is used in determining if the dog is understanding the message that the handler is trying to convey. If a handler is scolding or reprimanding a dog the dogs body

indicates his understanding or lack of. When being reprimanded, if a dog is working, the dog may stop and quit moving forward. More pressure may make him look or tip his head away from the handler. Applying even more pressure will cause the dog to move away from the stock and handler. At this point if the handler does not ease up and release the pressure the dog may leave or go to the house. Signs of pressure on the dog when working is the dog working slow or reluctantly. He may show no keenness or passion for his work. If this is happening the handler needs to ease up on the dog and work with more â&#x20AC;&#x153;feelâ&#x20AC;? and sensitivity for how the dog is responding. The handler needs to

adjust the amount of pressure he is applying to the dog. The dog may need to be encouraged to work quicker and push on the stock to release some pressure. A dog who is working while feeling no pressure will work quickly with a lot of enthusiasm and have quite a bit of speed. Their bodies will look lively and animated showing the enjoyment they derive from working the stock. Ideally a dog should be keen and focused, while working calmly on the stock, as he takes directions from the handler. When this happens, the handler has found the correct balance of pressure and release for working and training the dog.

See, this is why spring fencechecking is important Cochrane, Alta. rancher Morrie Goetjen says when doing routine maintenance, producers should start by checking the corner post. “If your corner posts are rotting or they are lifting then you are never going to keep your wires tight,” says Goetjen, adding it’s important to build a proper corner and a brace. Trochu, Alta. farmer Charlie Christie says when checking fences for any downed wires or missing staples, keep a sharp eye on where snow drifted over the fence. “As the snow melts, it weighs on the fence and it can pull fence down quite a bit,” Christie says. He adds to check posts where water is laying as the frost may have forced them up. Christie, who is the chair of the Alberta Beef Producers, says fenceline treed areas are also prone to damage. “We look for deadfall that has fallen on a fence and try to knock down anything that

might come down throughout the year,” he says. Be proactive Both farmers say it’s important to stay ahead of the curve by building new fences regularly. Christie says he has a schedule on his farm where he builds a mile and a half to two miles of fence every June. He believes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs offers tips on selecting the right fencing system for the task and livestock. Page wire, barbed wire, smooth wire suspension, barbed wire suspension and electric fencing are detailed, as are estimated costs of building supplies. Bottom line Damage such as rotted posts, weighed down wires and frost heaves may happen on fencelines over the winter. Make those anticipated repairs and consider establishing a rebuilding schedule for fences. Article by: Craig Lester

And this is how to help microbes improve your soil There’s an entire ecosystem in your soil that’s as complex as the Serengeti. Among the teeming life underground are microbes, which aid in nutrient and carbon cycling, improving soil structure and suppressing plant disease. Benefits “Your soil microbial communities cycle the nutrients that plants need for growth. Without them, you wouldn’t have that,” says Lori Phillips, a research scientist in soil microbiology with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Microbes break down carbon and continually cycle it in the system. A diverse and abundant soil microbiome will sequester more carbon. “And more carbon in your soil means more nutrients, better water holding capacity and better structure,” Phillips says.

Tillage, for instance, can be a catastrophic event for microbials as it destroys their habitats.

“I believe that the key to increasing soil health and the microbial population of the soil revolves around keeping live roots in soil at all times,” says Manitoba farmer and soil health advocate Ryan Boyd. A healthy microbiome can help resist damage, be that from tillage, high levels of fertilizer and herbicide, and even floods and droughts. “We also try to limit our use of seed treatments and insecticides, and use fungicides in crop sparingly,” Boyd adds. Monoculture Monoculture is another detriment as it typically causes a decrease in microorganism diversity. Recovery from a catastrophic event would take longer because some of the system’s functional resilience would have been lost, Phillips says. “We try to grow pastures that are diverse in species and manage grazing as to have green growing plants as long as possible throughout the year, feeding the soil biology with root exudates,” Boyd says. Diversity also goes for his annual crops. “We have a diverse crop rotation and will occasionally grow a forage mixture of annual species for grazing or stored feed,” Boyd says. Cover crops and manure Any practices that can increase diversity and carbon in the system will promote healthy microbiomes. Cover crops increase the types of carbon, or food, entering the system, thereby boosting belowground diversity, Phillips says. She adds that manure and compost also increase the types of food available for microorganisms. Bottom line Microbial abundance and diversity are keys to soil health. Farming practices such as crop rotation, increased crop diversity and cover crops help build microbes, experts say. Article by: Richard Kamchen

The Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) is looking for nominations for the Canadian Beef Industry Award for Outstanding Research and Innovation. The award, established by the council in 2015, recognizes a researcher or scientist who has contributed to the competitiveness or sustainability of the Canadian beef industry, the council’s website states. Eligible nominees include citizens or landed immigrants actively involved in research within the last five years. Research must benefit the beef industry and align with industry priorities. Areas of research can include anything from ag economics to genetics to social licence.

Any stakeholder in the Canadian beef industry can submit nominations. The BCRC assembles the selection committee, which includes retired beef researchers, beef producers and industry experts. If a nominee isn’t selected, the BCRC will keep the nomination on file for up to two additional years. Nominators may revise and resubmit the nomination. The nomination deadline is May 1. Email nominations to info@beefresearch.ca. For more information visit the Beef Cattle Research Council website.

The Northern Horizon, April 26, 2019

The Great Round-up When I think of the last great round-up, On the eve of eternity’s dawn, I think of the past of the cowboys Who have been with us here and are gone. And I wonder if any will greet me On the sands of the evergreen shore With a hearty, “God bless you, old fellow,” That I’ve met with so often before.

For the trail that leads down to perdition Is paved all the way with good deeds, But in the great round-up of ages, Dear boys, this won’t answer your needs. But ways to green pastures, though narrow, Leads straight to the home in the sky, And Jesus will give you the passports To the land of the sweet by and by.

No maverick or slick will be tallied In the great book of life in his home, For he knows all brands and earmarks That down through the ages have come. But along with the tailings and sleepers The strays must turn from the gate; No road brand to gain them admission, But the awful sad cry of “too late.”

I think of the big-hearted fellows Who will divide with you, blanket and bread, With a piece of stray beef well roasted, And charge for it never a red. I often look upward and wonder If the green fields will seem half so fair, If any the wrong trail have taken And fail to “be in” over there.

For the Saviour has taken the contract To deliver all those who believe, At the headquarters ranch of His Father, In the great range where none can deceive. The Inspector will stand at the gateway And the herd, one by one, will go by,— The round-up by the angels in judgment Must past ‘neath His all-seeing eye.

Yet I trust, in the last great round-up, When the rider shall cut the big herd, That the cowboys shall be represented In the earmark and brand of the Lord; To be shipped to the bright mystic regions Over there in green pastures to lie, And led by the crystal still waters, In that home of the sweet by and by.

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 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 op-

tions,” 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. Each scenario handles up to 32 fields and producer can run up to eight scenarios that directly compare and contrast the risks and returns of each crop plan. A producer can then choose a crop plan that works for their operation based on their results.” Download a free copy of CropChoice$.

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

Government of Canada working group on canola collaborating to restore market access for Canada’s canola seed to China The Government of Canada working group on canola held its inaugural meeting to work together to resolve the market access issue affecting Canada’s canola seed exports to China. At the first meeting of the working group on April 4, 2019, representatives discussed the importance of focusing on a sciencebased solution to resolve this issue. The group also touched on future opportunities to expand into new markets for canola, and reviewed support available to affected producers.

Co-chaired by the deputy minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the president of Canola Council of Canada, the working group membership includes the president of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the president the Canadian Canola Growers Association, deputy ministers from the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba as well as other senior government and industry officials. Canada is the number-one producer and exporter of canola in

the world. Canadian canola has an international reputation as being of the highest quality, while its inspection system is known as being robust and world-class. As Canada’s largest crop, canola accounts for approximately $11 billion of the country’s exports each year. In addition to creating the working group, the federal government also recently called for in-depth technical meetings with Chinese officials, proposing to send a delegation of Canadian plant health experts to China – led by the President of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency – to meet face-to-face with their counterparts in order to identify a science-based solution to this issue as quickly as possible. The working group will continue to meet regularly to closely monitor the situation and collaborate to resolve this issue. “Canada’s farmers can rest assured that we understand the importance and the urgency of this issue, and that we stand with them and are working hard to secure unrestricted market access for Canada’s high-quality canola.

The newly formed working group brings together the canola industry and producers to work together to resolve this issue,” parlayed MarieClaude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “Canadians right across the country understand the importance of canola farming families to our economy — particularly those of us who come from the Prairies. I’m glad that the important efforts of this working group are moving ahead, and we will continue to stand with Canadian farmers and to work alongside them until these issues are resolved,” said Jim Carr, Minister of International Trade Diversification. “It is imperative that we find a science-based solution to this issue and we look forward to getting a response from Chinese authorities regarding the proposed Canadian delegation. Resuming canola seed exports with China is the canola industry’s top priority. It is essential for our farmers and their families, and for our entire agricultural industry,” piped up Jim Everson, President, Canola Council of Canada.
