British Columbians back making Northern Horizon school bus seatbelts mandatory Your

Team

One of many pending issues that may be derailed by the outcome of this year’s federal election is a task force that is currently studying the possibility of having all school buses in Canada fitted with seatbelts. Discussions about this idea multiplied in October of last year, following a report on the CBC’s investigative program The Fifth Estate, which pointed to a defective Transport Canada1984 study that claimed children would be safer inside a school bus that was not equipped with seatbelts. The report’s flaws are now unmistakable. In any case, relying on a document more than three decades old to settle a 21st-century safety issue seems ill-advised. Our vehicles and our roads are different than they were in the year Brian Mulroney became prime minister. This is one of the reasons for federal Minister of Transport Marc Garneau to have ordered the creation of the task force. Several provincial governments have also started to look into whether school buses

should have seatbelts. Parents and school bus drivers are gathering signatures to petition lawmakers – at all levels – to take a serious look into this matter. Canada appears to be lagging when it comes to legislation and action. In the United States, eight jurisdictions – Arkansas, California, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Texas – have made seatbelts mandatory on school buses. But establishing rules and regulations is only a first step. In some of these American states, the definition of a seatbelt is not clear. Some buses have to rely on lap belts, while others have been equipped with lapshoulder belts. Other countries have managed to implement the changes quicker. In Singapore, retractable three-point seatbelts have been mandatory for all new school buses since April 2009, and all other school bus models had to be retrofitted by the end of 2011. In Scotland, the bill to install seatbelts in all school buses passed in a 102-0 vote in 2017.

Government releases independent report on revitalizing ALR, ALC

“I want to thank the committee for its dedication and the thoughtful recommendations made in this report,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “Our government is committed to helping farmers farm. We asked the committee members to provide advice on how the ALR and ALC can provide the best support for farmers, ranchers and producers to ensure B.C.’s agricultural sector continues to thrive, and they delivered.” The committee, consisting of eight British Columbians with diverse agricultural backgrounds and experience, proposed 32 recommendations to support agriculture in the province. The final report is available here: https://engage.gov. bc.ca/govtogetherbc/impact/agricultural-land-reserve-results/ More than 2,300 British Columbians responded to the committee’s online discussion paper and survey,

and the committee also received over 270 written submissions. The committee held engagement sessions with local governments and agricultural stakeholders in nine communities throughout the province and met with the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the ALC. Following the committee’s interim report of 13 key recommendations for legislative change, the B.C. government took action. Bill 52, passed into law in November 2018, implemented changes to keep farmland affordable for farmers and crack down on the illegal dumping of construction waste and unauthorized fill on farmland.

made-in-B.C. products; a Feed BC initiative to increase the amount of B.C. food in hospitals, bringing new opportunities for producers and better hospital food for people; and helping more people start farming through Grow BC with a new Land Matching Program that has already connected 29 new and young farmers with farmland throughout B.C. The release of the final report completes the committee’s work that began in January 2018.

Breakfast Brief WHEAT EXPORTS UNABLE TO HELP WHEAT PRICES (April 29, 2019, FarmLead.com) Despite some decent export numbers – namely wheat exports – grain prices are mostly in the red this morning, following last week’s down performance. Traders went more short on grain prices, sitting a record short position of more than 322,000 contracts in corn! They’re also now sitting at nearly 130,000 short positions in soybeans! On the trade front, Chinese and U.S. negotiations continue this week in Beijing. There has been more optimism from both sides of the table, but nothing about a leadership get-together between Presidents Trump and Xi has been announced. Conversely, President Trump is headed to Tokyo in May as the U.S. and Japan continue to talk their own trade deals since the U.S. is not part of the CPTPP. A lot of Alberta got some snow over the weekend, bringing in some last-minute moisture just as farmers are getting ready to start seeding. There are already more than a few outfits that are running full-tilt closer to the U.S.-Canada border, but the weekend weather system also slowed them down a bit. Granted, temperatures dropped a bit across Western Canada over the weekend, but warmer weather is mostly expected in the month of May. China or Weather the Saving Grace? With no lasting reversal having been seen for what seems like months, Jerry Gulke notes that there is some fear setting in and asking the question, “How low can we go?” Between a fairly snowy winter, flooding in the Midwest, and a seemingly endless amount of rain, where do the bulls stand up and grab some traction? This is especially true for soybean prices as the complex is starting to recognize that, even with a trade deal made between the U.S. and China, any beans bought in the short-term will just go into China’s reserves.

Northern B.C. Rec Association announces scholarship The Northern B.C. Recreation Association announced the release of their annual scholarship today. The association, which exists to foster awareness and ideas for sports and liesure activity in Northeast B.C., is offering a $1,000 scholarship to students pursuing post-secondary education in recreation, physical education, leisure studies, and kinesiology. Applicants must be from Chet-

wynd, Dawson Creek, Fort Nelson, Fort St. John, Taylor, Hudson’s Hope, Mackenzie, Tumbler To apply, send a cover letter, as well as a 500-1,000 word essay on what you’ve done for your community and your plans for after education to NBCRA Treasurer Naomi Gallant at ngallant@fortstjohn.ca. The deadline to apply is June 15, 2019.

In Friday’s FarmLead Breakfast Brief, I spoke about this weather, but also the pork issues in China. Demand for meat is strong in China’s growing middle class, but they won’t be able to come close to meeting it themselves this year with the African Swine Flu culling herds left, right, and centre. This may mean for pork imports from the likes of the U.S., Canada, and South America, which in turn, means more feedstuffs demand from a domestic sense. That possibility isn’t enough, though, as some U.S. farmers are hesitant to make the bet on soybeans this year. Looking over at corn prices, there haven’t been a lot of opportunities to get some hedging in above that $4 USD/bushel mark on the futures board, but there have been some moments. Put more simply, $4 hasn’t come around all that often, but in deferred contracts, there are still some opportunities worth considering. While this is a long-term strategy, Bryan Doherty of Top Farmer notes that you should be selling in small, 5% to 10% increments up to about a third of total production and not over commit sales too far in advance. Put another way, Bryan says that in these current grain markets, “sell early, sell often, and cover with calls.” Ultimately, I continue to think that weather premiums will start to creep up into grain markets but it needs to see more rain and not a whole lot of planting activity. That said, there is more rain in the forecast this week for the Midwest, which should keep the planting pace behind the normal average. Going into today’s USDA crop progress report, traders are looking for corn planting to be at 15%-17% complete, close to last year’s pace but behind the 25% seasonal average. For soybeans, the market is expecting 5% (which would match last year and the average) while hard red spring wheat exports is expected to come in at just 15% (36% average). Wheat Exports Shining Bright While I said last week that wheat prices could be in a tough position for 2019/20, strong export volumes to end 2018/19 are hard to ignore. Canadian non-durum wheat exports through Week 38 are tracking 15% higher year-over-year with 13.2 MMT shipped out. Barring a significant geopolitical turn of events, it seems more and more likely that Agriculture Canada’s target of 18.7 MMT for the whole of the 2018/19 crop year will be eclipsed. Comparably, both U.S. hard red winter wheat exports and soft red winter wheat exports have picked up considerably over the last few months. Through their week 46, SRW wheat exports are tracking nearly 30% higher-year over-year, but HRW wheat exports have been dealt with some tougher competition, now tracking nearly 18% behind last year’s pace.

Of course, we’re at the time of year where the flip-flop between old and new crop grain prices is continuous so it’s worthwhile to ignore the noise where applicable. For example, if you’re sold out of old crop, why bother looking at old crop wheat prices?

ADVERTISE

On a logistical note, I have some travel and time away from the office the next few weeks so don’t expect the next FarmLead Breakfast Brief until next Friday (which will be right before the May WASDE report from the USDA at 11AM CST on May 10th).

Elsewhere in the world, Russian old crop wheat prices dropped more than 1% last week, now sitting around $221 USD/MT (or about $6 USD and $8.10 CAD per bushel if converting metric tonnes into bushels). This is mainly a result of a strong Russian Ruble and a slowdown in old crop demand. This was referenced by SovEcon last week as they lowered their estimate of 2018/19 Russian wheat exports by 200,000 MT to 34.9 MMT. For new crop Russian wheat prices for delivery in June/July, values are sitting closer to $187 USD/bushel (or $5.09 USD and $6.85 CAD per bushel).Worth considering is that this more than $30 USD/MT below current U.S. HRW wheat prices for the same movement.

B.C. Land matching program brings opportunities for young farmers

After launching as a pilot in Metro Vancouver in 2016, the program expanded across southern B.C. in July 2018. Since 2018, the B.C. Land Matching Program has helped 19 new farmers and farming families connect with landowners in the province to sign farming agreements, with a total of 26.71 hectares (66 acres) brought into, or maintained in, agricultural production. The Province has committed $375,000 in funding to build on the success of the program for the 2019-20 fiscal year. Land matchers assigned to Vancouver Island, Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, the Okanagan and Columbia Basin have been working closely with farmers, landowners, local governments and agricultural organizations to help facilitate agreements between farmers and land owners. Tucked away between orchards and wineries overlooking Powers Creek in West Kelowna, Popham visited Alpine Roots Farm to meet with farmer Eoin Carey and landowners John and Anne Whittall, as well as their land matcher Tessa Wetherill, for a tour of their property. She announced the results of the B.C. Land Matching Program there, as well as additional funding for the program for 2019-20. The land owners and the farmer signed their lease this past January, and Carey and his family have already started to till the land for what will be a 0.80-hectare (twoacre) market garden, selling to community-supported agriculture members. They also plan to partner with local restaurants throughout Kelowna and the region and are excited to offer chefs the option of having grow-to-order unique, or hard-to-find, varieties of produce. For the Whittalls, both retired, this was an opportunity to see the

The B.C. Land Matching Program falls within Grow BC, a mandate commitment of the Ministry of Agriculture that supports young farmers and food producers seeking a career in B.C. agriculture and addresses major challenges for new farmers, such as gaining access to land in regions around the province. The program is part of the Province’s larger New Entrant Strategy, a framework for increasing the number of new and young farmers working in B.C.’s agriculture sector. Quotes: “I had been looking for suitable land on and off for a few years. I found it next to impossible to find anything. The main issue was overpriced lease values and a complete shortage of anything being advertised on the classified ads or local agriculture publications. I believe overall the B.C. Land Matching Program has accelerated my business development by at least a year, maybe more. I found answers to all my questions and more when I got involved with Young Agrarians. I really hadn’t expected the level of help I received and am forever grateful for it,” said Eoin Carey, farmer, Alpine Roots Farm.

“Our smaller acreage is well suited for farming, but we are no longer active in that. Young Agrarians seemed like a wonderful way to see the land used productively, helping us regain our farm status and give an opportunity to a younger, aspiring farmer. Making a ‘match’ went very smoothly. We are confident that it is an excellent one and now we are excited for the growing season to begin,” added John and Anne Whittall, landowners. Tessa Wetherill, Okanagan Young Agrarian land matcher, said she’s been honoured to facilitate negotiations and open discussions that have led to successful land matches. “It’s an incredible thing to witness people coming together, being honest about their needs, values, roles and responsibilities. It is ultimately this foundation, along with a spirit of collaboration, that carry these folks forward into mutually beneficial, long-term relationships.”

“The challenge for young and new farmers entering the agricultural industry is acquiring affordable farmland that they can farm,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “Since expanding the B.C. Land Matching Program last summer, we’ve seen successful matches throughout the province, ensuring more B.C. farmland is in production and helping secure our farming industry and food security for future generations.”

All prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne Market Comments - Wheat and barley have softened in Alberta while maintaining prices from the previous 2 weeks in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. DDGS is starting to drop and there was a recent drop in soybean meal although the weakened Canadian dollar today that resulted from the lack of interest rate movement yesterday firmed prices a little. Feed peas have continued to drop in price across the prairies – by about $5 per tonne from the previous period. The outlook is that it may continue to soften. * 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 growerfinisher 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.

BERNIER: the fight is not yet over Congratulations to the people of the Peace for raising your voices, expressing your concerns the caribou protection plans being rolled out by the government, and having those concerns heard in Victoria. It’s a long way to deliver a message, but you did it. The voice of the Peace was so loud because of the incredible work by the Concerned Citizens for Caribou Recovery. They collected more than 30,000 signatures on their petition. For comparison, remember that the entire population of the Peace is just over 65,000. It was one of the highlights of my entire time in public life to deliver that petition on the floor of the Legislature on April 10. That petition called on the government to halt the process, conduct broader consultations, begin economic and socio-economic impacts of the caribou recovery proposals, and provide base line scientific data for the closures. We’ve got some of what we were looking for when Premier John Horgan finally came to Dawson Creek April 15 to acknowledge the concerns of the region and so much of rural British Columbia. But the Premier only extended the on-going consultation of the existing draft caribou recovery plans by a month and appointed my predecessor as MLA (and current Dawson Creek Councillor) Blair Lekstrom as a liaison to the Premier on the issue. What was missing? Any commitment to taking our concerns seriously, or any further stakeholder input being allowed. The Premier

created this mess and tried to blow it off by just saying “my bad.” To me his quick fly in and fly out was only a political stunt to try to turn down the temperature on how own government’s ham-fisted approach that has generated so much across rural BC. I’m worried because the extra month appears to only give the environmental groups more time to cuddle up to this Government in their quest to shut down our back country. Also troubling is the Premier’s failure deliver on what we need from any recovery plan: • more science included in the plans, • a commitment to zero job losses, • references to predator management, • a commitment to hear from local groups. There’s plenty still to hear on all of these topics. They are issues the people of the Peace have been begging to be heard on since long before the draft agreements were released and my caution is it is late in the game for the input to come and there are so many warning signs in what’s missing. All of this is why it’s clear to me that even though the Premier thinks the first battle is over, the fight is far from won. What’s at stake is enjoyment of the lifestyle that is the reason why so many of us call the Peace our home, as well as and the resource activity that builds our communities, supports our families, and sends tax dollars to be spent far away in Victoria.

Being prepared is the best way to manage risk on the farm There are many risks that can impact a farm’s bottom line, and long-term success. Some risks are within a farmers’ control, however, many, like extreme weather events, increasing both in frequency and intensity; disease outbreaks; cyber threats and power interruptions are just a few risks over which farmers have no control. Farm experts say being prepared is the best way to manage these uncontrolled risks and note help is available. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has several resources on its website to help producers plan for an emergency. One of its newest is the Agriculture Emergency Management Bulletin. Producers subscribe to the email-based bulletin to receive bi-monthly bulletins filled with news and information about agricultural emergencies, emerging issues, information about key risks to the agriculture sector and resources to support emergency planning. “In an environment of increased global trade and a growing number of extreme weather events, it is essential that producers be equipped to protect their animals, property and business,” says Frédéric Seppey, assistant deputy minister

with AAFC’s Market and Industry Service Branch. “The information in the bulletin encourages producers and processors to take a closer look at their risks and raises awareness of best practices and the various elements to consider when creating a farm emergency plan and emergency kit,” Seppey adds. Producers can subscribe to the AEM bulletin, and/or share information for future bulletins, by contacting AAFC emergency management. There are business risk management programs and tools available to help producers minimize the impact of income and production losses. Three popular ones are AgriStability for large market declines, AgriInvest to help manage income declines and AgriInsurance to reduce the financial impact of losses due to natural hazards. Bottom line Extreme weather, disease outbreaks and power outages are everyday threats for farmers across the country over which they have no control. A variety of resources, such as federal emergency bulletins and funding programs, are available to help proactively mitigate risk and assist in risk management.

The Northern Horizon, May 10, 2019

Top 3 takeaways from the 2018 FCC Farmland Values report J.P. Gervais Canadian farmland values increased at an average annual rate of 6.6% in 2018. This is the lowest growth rate recorded since 2010. Trends varied across the country, highlighting the truly local nature of the farmland market. I draw three main conclusions from the FCC 2018 Farmland Values Report. 1. Beware the average The pace of increase in farmland values slowed in 2018 at the national level. This is also true at the provincial level, with British Columbia the only province bucking the trend. There, the increase in land values was significantly stronger than last year. There was a noticeable trend in 2018 land transactions: in many regions, lower-valued farmland recorded higher-percentage increases than the land with above-average values. These subtle patterns tell a story about price trends that a simple average, as seen in Table 1, can’t account for. 2. Farmland: They’re not making it anymore Many have cautioned about the effects of a limited supply of farmland, a fact that contributed to fewer 2018 transactions, and higher average prices. Supply is critical to land values. However, the two most significant drivers of those values are farm income and interest rates. We estimate that cash receipts declined 1% in 2018, which, coupled with higher farm expenses, led to a decline in net income. Interest rates climbed in 2018 with an average gain of 75 basis points. Softer income and higher borrowing costs usually weaken the demand for land more than what we saw last year. The unusually strong demand may have been prompted by the need for efficiency gains made possible by adding acres, especially of less expensive farmland. 3. No two regions are alike The importance of local trends in land supply, farm income and interest rates shows up clearly in the value of land transactions at the regional level. Of the 51 regions reported in the FCC study, eight regions recorded an average annual increase of more than 10%. At the other end of the spectrum, eight regions showed little or no annual change. Four regions in Nova Scotia

and New Brunswick recorded a decline. Alberta as an example I’m highlighting Alberta’s result here, because it serves as an example of the regional variation in the growth of values. Alberta farmland values increased 7.4% on average in 2018, following a 7.3% increase in 2017. Several factors explain variations across the province: There was strong demand for farmland throughout southern Alberta, mostly for irrigated land suited for potato production. The oil and gas industry showed some signs of recovery at the beginning of 2018, heightening demand for land temporarily, which then softened. Smoke from B.C. wildfires throughout much of the summer and significant harvest challenges in the fall reduced the number of transactions in the Peace region.

Farm income supports farmland values Farm income and land prices go together. I expect the trade issues that loom large in 2019 will bring more volatile commodity prices and pressure farm income. Here’s a positive trend: interest rates probably aren’t going to rise. Here’s a positive trend noted in FCC Farmland Values Report: interest rates probably aren’t going to rise. See what else ag economist @ jpgervais is predicting. Tweet this Now is the time for producers to assess their overall financial positions in light of those pressures and adjust business plans to reflect them. A focus on increasing productivity will be key in managing the changing economic landscape.

What kind of rider are you? If we were to just look at two types of riders, confident and unconfident, which would you think possibly is more crippling to your growth and/or health? Do you think it is the confident or unconfident riders that are more likely to get in a wreck? Is it the confident or unconfident riders that are more likely to seek advice? Often, a confident rider might just go for it because they believe it can’t be that hard, where as the unconfident rider might hesitate as it looks too scary and they couldn’t imagine where to begin. Who would these riders approach when they need advice? Do they do their homework and approach the person they believe to be the best in that field? What are your criteria for what the best is? Would you call a complete stranger and ask for advice because you believe them to have the most experience in this area? For example, if you were going to put on a music festival, would you seek some advice or just go for it? If you did ask for advice, who would you approach? Would you ask a neighbor, a friend, your parents or maybe the plumber because they organized the local Christmas concert each year? Or, would you seek out a top entertainer like Corb Lund or the organizer of the Big Valley Jamboree? Personally, I would ask the Big Valley Jamboree or something equivalent for their advice because that is their business and they are one of the biggest and most successful outdoor concerts in Canada. I think it’s clear that the advice we received would be vastly different coming from an expert versus someone with no experience in that field.

of sources: the carpenter, plumber, truck driver and all because they also rode horses. What if we had known professional horsemen? I’d like to think we would asked them for their opinion, but what if we didn’t? This would be somewhat similar to asking a neighbor or friend about putting on a music festival simply because they had helped with the community Christmas concert. I know we have to start somewhere but I also know that you can sure save a lot of agony, money and time by getting good advice from the right sources from the start. I proved this to myself by getting lots of bad advice and then seeing the difference when I finally received good advice. How will you know where to find good horsemanship advice? Do your homework and take a hard look at their horsemanship skills. An easy place to start is search for the individual’s website. Does their website provide free information and does it make sense? What can you learn about the individual on the site? What have they done in that industry? How long have they been around? Where have they been? If they compete, what areas do they compete in? Do they have a wide range of experience? What

can they do with their horses? What is their schedule like? See if you can attend an event and watch them give a demo or audit a clinic. Often people are drawn to someone that looks like them, talks like them or rides like them. That might be the exact wrong person. You might get more of what you already have which could prevent you from making progress. If you have been getting lessons for 6 months, can you see an unbelievable difference in your horse and yourself? You absolutely should. Do they have a program to follow so you can map your progress? There is a lot to learn and you deserve the best information you can get when you are spending your hard earned money. A few stories of unfortunate advice that my students have received include some wonderful people that spent a bunch of money on new saddles that didn’t fit and were unsafe to ride. Some of these people had bought as many as 3 saddles! These students used a trainer that had their horse in for 6 months of training or longer and the horse continued to run over them and had yet to be ridden. They were also getting lessons each week and had only been on their

If we relate this back to horse people it seems to me confidence can sometimes be as crippling as a lack of confidence to our personal growth and/or health. I have been around horses and horse people all my life. In earlier years, I was overly confident which made me think I kind of had it all figured out. I practically had to be run over with information before I realized how much I was missing. If it had not been for some good luck that came my way, I could easily have gone the rest of my days doing and thinking the same thing as I did when I was 20. Back then, I was doing what I think most of us are guilty of and taking horsemanship advice from all sorts

R0011639533

The Northern Horizon, May 10, 2019

At another facility, the trainer had a bunch of clients that had been taking lessons for several years and they were not yet able to trot or canter their horses. Yet, they were encouraged to ride through a river and told to simply let their horses go wherever they wanted while crossing because ‘horses know rivers’. I asked the student if her horse had ever even seen a river, let alone if they knew where every big rock was situated in every river. These are true stories that would make me want to pull my hair out if I had any. The cheapest trainer in these two very real stories charged $60 per hour and gave 6 hours of lessons per week. Do the math. That $360/week! Let’s multiple that by 30 weeks and you’re looking at $10,800 per year in lessons alone. For that kind of money, you had better be getting extraordinary results. Last piece of advice I’ll give you is do not believe or get caught up in a name. If someone uses Canadian or International in their busi-

ness name, is it really? They can name a business anything they’d like but that doesn’t make it so. If their business is successful and people come from all over Canada or the world, then their name is closer to the truth. Often, a fancy title is a fancy marketing ploy that does trick some folks.

Hockey Canada, along with representatives from Dawson Creek, Fort St. John and participating communities, officially announced the World Junior A Challenge this morning in Dawson Creek. The best Junior A players in the world will battle each other at the Encana Events Centre, December 7 to 15. “The City of Dawson Creek is thrilled to once again host the world at the Encana Events Centre, bringing some of the best young hockey players from around the world to our community for a week of amazing action. It is very special for us to be able to share this event with our neighbouring Peace Country communities and our First Nation neighbours, the Saulteau and West Moberly First Nations, and to work with Chetwynd, Fort St. John and Grande Prairie as pre-tournament hosts,” said Dale Bumstead, mayor of Dawson Creek.

Prior to the start of play, the World Junior A Challenge will head to three surrounding communities for a slate of pre-tournament games on Thursday, December 5. Team Canada West will play Russia at the North Peace Arena in Fort St. John. Team Canada East will take on the United States at the Chetwynd Rec Centre in Chetwynd, B.C., while the Czech Republic will match up against the Grande Prairie Storm of the Alberta Junior Hockey League at Revolution Place in Grande Prairie. District of Chetwynd councilor Jocelyn Disher said it was an exciting time. “It is really an unbelievable opportunity for the district and area,” she said. Robin Fuller with West Moberly Council said hockey was a part of life in the community. “The is an amazing chance.” Tickets will go on sale later this week.

SHEPHERD’S DIARY

by Andy Tschetter

Diary notes from the shepherd

(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 level-headed 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 sub-

sequently 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?? FEBRUARY 5 Coffeetime! Brewed here in the cabin it is strong and quite organic with an extravagant dose of farm-fresh cream topped with honey of the same caliber. The warm recipe-less concussion a nice fixture for this shepherd’s chilled bones with the cold weather prevailing this week. Extreme cold during the night! Gave the ewes a third hay bale.

Government of Canada Canola working group On April 1, 2019, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) announced the formation of the Government-Industry Canola Working Group. This is a forum where industry can exchange views on a coordinated and collaborative approach towards resolving the issue of restricted access to China’s market for Canadian canola. At the same time, the group will explore options for alternative markets in

the short and long-term. The working group is co-chaired by the Canola Council of Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. It includes representatives from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Global Affairs Canada, Canadian Canola Growers Association, Richardson, Viterra, and the Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan governments.

BC food and beverage processors learn to lean Two British Columbia (B.C.) processing companies providing unique beverage products are among 14 companies that have participated in the B.C. Lean for Food Processors Program, which helps businesses improve production capacity, labour productivity and operating margins.

vinegar. Its objective was to scale up production and deal with production waste. Its success included: improved food safety, record keeping and recall programs; and optimized commissary and bottling processes by standardizing their workflow and training staff to improve consistency. B.C.’s food and beverage processors produce approximately $9 billion worth of food per year, representing 70% of total agrifood revenues. Over 30,000 British Columbians are employed in the food and beverage processing industries.

The B.C. Lean for Food Processors Program is being delivered to small, medium and large processing companies throughout B.C. The cost-shared program includes three days of formal training for managers and key production staff that focuses on applying lean tools and approaches. This is followed up with two days of on-site training and coaching.

Funding for the B.C. Lean for Food Processors Program is provided through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a federal-provincial-territorial investment that includes $2 billion in cost-shared strategic initiatives delivered by the provinces and territories, and $1 billion for federal programs and services through March 2023.

A wide range of B.C. processing businesses have participated in the B.C. Lean for Food Processors Program, including dairy, pet food, health foods, meal kits and beverages. The companies have ranged in size from three to five employees, to more than 100, and are looking for ways to improve efficiencies in their production processes.

“Our Government is proud to support British Columbia’s food processing sector through the B.C. Lean for Food Processors Program. This investment provides the knowledge and skills B.C. processing businesses need to improve efficiencies in their production and operations to remain competitive, and ensure their continued growth,” adds Federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-food, Marie-Claude Bibeau. “There are more than 2,500 food processing companies in B.C. providing us with some exciting value-added products including, meat, seafood, dairy, fruit and vegetables, wine, beer, soft drinks, condiments and bakery items. These innovative folks do it all. The B.C. Lean for Food Processors Program is a great resource to help our sector streamline efficiencies to remain competitive and ensure their continued madein-B.C. success stories,” says B.C. Minister of Agriculture, Lana Popham

Squamish Water Kefir, brewed by self-described nutrition nerds Sabrina and Kristin, has provided a tasty, fermented drink to its customers since 2015. The primary objective of its lean project was to reduce the bottling time to meet demand. Its improvements included: reduced bottling time, increased throughput and improved productivity of the process; eliminating the motion involved in handling the bottles by streamlining of the production process; and establishing clear business goals and increased staff engagement by including them in the problem-solving process. In Surrey, Route 18 Real Food produces and sells a line of drinking vinegar concentrates from unpasteurized apple cider

Collie Corner By Carol Nelson

On those dogs that lay but just will not stay A young man just called to discuss how to get his dog to remain in one place until the dog was called. The dog would lie down but would not stay for long. He would get up and then go chase stock on his own without the handlers consent. This dog is started on the right track but he needs further work to grow and mature into becoming more responsible. Teaching a dog to stay is done through a series of steps designed to communicate what the handler is asking and his expectations from the dog. Prior to teaching a dog to lie down the dog should understand to walk quietly on a leash by the handlers side. The dog should not be pulling on the handler but rather walk with looseness in the line. The beginning phase for teaching a dog to lie down is done by having the dog wear a choke chain

with a short leash. Start by asking the dog to lie down and then stepping on the leash quite close to the dog while holding the other end of the leash firmly. This will put pressure on the dogs neck and he will be more comfortable lying down than standing up. Once he lies down immediately remove the foot off the chain and give the dog praise. Walk a few steps with the dog to let his mind get free and then repeat this process until the dog lies down on his own without the chain being stepped on. Do this for a few days until the dog is content and comfortable to lie down as soon as the handler asks. The next step is to start getting further away from the dog while having him remain lying down until the handler asks for him to come when called. Put the dog on a longer line and ask him to lie down and then back up a step or two. The

dog will usually try and get up to follow the handler. In a firm voice ask him to lie down. If the dog lies down thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great: if he does not, take a step toward him and ask for a lie down. If the dog is resistant to laying down or wants to leave then step on the leash again. As soon as the dog lies down back away once more. Start this distance work by backing away one or two steps and then start walking a circle around the dog while he lies there. Gradually over a few days make the circle bigger and farther away from the dog. As the dog starts to understand what is being asked, leave the leash loose on the ground so the opportunity is there for the dog to make choices. If his choices are

wrong then there is enough time to step on the end of the leash and say â&#x20AC;&#x153;lie downâ&#x20AC;? before he gets far. This helps him to understand that no matter where he is the handler has the final say. These daily lessons should be kept short. No more than 5 minutes at a time. If the dog grasps the concept quickly then even shorter lessons will be more effective than long lessons. Short sessions keeps the dogs mind fresh and he will develop a good attitude toward work. If you make the lessons a drudgery he will dread working rather than look forward to and anticipate spending individual time with the handler while learning.

Government of Canada invests in co-operative cheese factory Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Marie-Claude Bibeau, announced an investment of up to $1.5 million under the Dairy Processing Investment Fund to StAlbert Cheese Co-operative while visiting the Cheese Factory Co-op today. The funding will be used to modernize equipment that will help the company improve its productivity and competitiveness. This investment is part of an upgrade to St-Albert Cheese’s fa-

cilities, which will include stateof-the-art equipment that will enhance plant operations and help optimize the value of its by-products. This new equipment will help reduce the impact of power outages and effectively manage the performance of ventilation and humidity levels so refrigeration in the warehouses runs efficiently, enabling the company to increase the volume of milk product it processes while reducing production costs.

“The government is proud to support St-Albert Cheese Co-operative in their efforts to modernize their operations. This investment will allow them to increase production and respond to rising consumer demand for their excellent products, while contributing to maintaining the economic vitality of the region thanks to the creation of good jobs for the middle class,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-

Food. “Canada’s growing dairy sector plays an important role in Ontario’s economic growth. With modern equipment designed to boost processing efficiency and production, St-Albert Cheese Co-op will be well positioned to seize new market opportunities and respond to the growing demands of the sector,” added Francis Drouin, Member of Parliament for GlengarryPrescott-Russell.

Navigating spring cash flow management Keeping a sharp eye on cash flow is important year-round, but the importance heightens during the spring. Lance Stockbrugger is a Saskatchewan farmer and a chartered accountant. He estimates producers spend about 80 per cent of their budget for the year in a three-to-five-week period at this time of year, adding the importance of sticking to a plan. “Make sure we have cash in the bank enough to cover off as many inputs as we EXT can, then also have a EXT:png:END line of credit as well,” Stockbrugger says. Jonathan Small, chief research officer of Global Ag Risk Solutions echoes the comment, pointing out a lot of money goes into the ground in a very short period of time.

Have a plan Stockbrugger says planning cash flow for this spring started last year. “We were already starting last fall when we were combining, or even as far back as a year ago,” Stockbrugger says. “We are starting to think about the rotation for next year already, just kind of what fields we are going to put in.” Small says farmers need to have a realistic plan. He adds one common pitfall he sees is farmers using other producers’ numbers. “Don’t use standard costs for things, or what the neighbour says his equipment costs,” Small stresses. He says when that happens, farmers aren’t fully understanding their own costs, which prevents

them from foreseeing cash flow problems and identifying solutions. MNP Business Advisor Glenn Dogterom says a producer’s plan should include an annual review of the balance sheet and income statement, which will help the farm identify cash flow issues long before they happen. “This isn’t something that all of a sudden happens,” Dogterom says, adding revisiting these numbers annually gives farmers the best options and solutions. “We don’t have a crystal ball,” Stockbrugger says. “We don’t know exactly what is going to happen, but we plan for the worst and hope for the best and not have any surprises.” Communicate Small says while having a plan

is important, communicating with whoever is supporting that plan, such as a lender, is key. Stockbrugger says it’s key to have those talks early with a banker to avoid surprising them, which can lead to a scramble in the case of a financial jam. Bottom line It’s important to have a spring cash flow plan created as much as a year ahead time, which can be done by sitting down annually with a financial expert such as an accountant and going over the balance sheet and income statement. Build a strong relationship with lenders by frequently communicating farm plans for moving forward. Article by: Craig Lester

Governments extend 2019 AgriStability enrollment deadline Farmers form the backbone of rural communities across Canada. They are integral to expanding our middle-class and strengthening our economy. Federal-provincial-territorial (FPT) governments remain committed to growing Canada’s agricultural sector by ensuring all farmers have the tools they need to manage significant risks that threaten the viability of their farms.

As of April 21, 2019, approximately 51,000 producers across Canada were enrolled in AgriStability for the 2017 program year (the last year for which data is available). Farmers experiencing financial challenges are encouraged to access assistance available under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership’s suite of business risk management (BRM) programs to help them manage risk due to severe market volatility and disaster situations that are largely beyond their capacity to manage. Farmers enrolled in AgriStability may receive support should they experience a large margin decline. Farmers can also draw on their AgriInvest account balance at any time to help manage income declines or access cash flow. On April 1, 2019, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada announced the formation of the Government of Canada Working Group on canola, made up of representatives from both industry, and provincial and federal governments to exchange views on a coordinated and collaborative approach towards resolving the issue of restricted access to China’s market for Canadian canola. The group is also exploring options for alternative markets in the short and long-term.

“We continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Canadian farmers and farm families. Together with farmers and our provincial-territorial partners, we’re looking for the best ways to support the sector and to ensure our programs provide farmers with the support they need. Extending the enrolment deadline means more farmers can join and benefit from government support in times of need,” says Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.

The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, today announced a two-month extension to the AgriStability enrollment deadline for the 2019 program year without penalty, from April 30th to July 2nd, 2019, allowing farmers more time to sign up and benefit from the program. This exceptional step agreed to by FPT governments will enable the program to help more farmers manage the impact of current market disruptions and production challenges facing many farm operations.

Action for Canada’s canola sector Canada’s canola producers are key drivers of jobs, economic prosperity and growth for the middle class, exporting $11 billion in canola to more than 50 countries in 2018. The Government of Canada is committed to maintaining full market access for Canadian canola seed exports to China, while supporting Canadian producers and their families to meet the challenges ahead and grow their business. Today, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Marie-Claude Bibeau and Minister of International Trade Diversification Jim Carr announced actions to support Canadian farm families. Minister Bibeau announced that the Government intends to amend the Agricultural Marketing Programs Regulations to temporarily increase loan limits under the Advance Payments Program (APP). These changes will help ease cash flow pressures that farmers are facing and help them manage the impacts of market disruptions in key export countries. The regulatory amendment would change the loan limits for the APP for the 2019 year as follows: Advances of up to $1 million

will be available on all commodities, more than double the previous limit of $400,000. The first $100,000 will remain interest-free on all commodities, except canola. Canola advances will be eligible for up to $500,000 (total) interest-free. As part of the Government of Canada’s trade diversification strategy, Minister Bibeau also announced that she will be heading to Japan in May to participate in the G20 Agriculture Ministers’ Meeting. While in Japan, she will meet with Japanese industry leaders and officials from several countries to advance Canada’s agricultural trade. Minister Carr announced that he will be leading a canola trade mission to Japan and South Korea in early June. Minister Carr’s outreach will build on his work to engage other high-potential countries including: UAE, Thailand, Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Mexico, Germany, and France. Trade missions open doors and provide onthe-ground support so that companies can compete and succeed on the international playing field.

sive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), Canadian farmers and producers now have preferential market access to an estimated 1.5 billion consumers in more than 50 countries. The Government of Canada stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Canadian producers and wants to ensure they have the support they need. The Government is prepared to respond to support producers of other commodities should further trade actions occur. Strong and stable markets for our high-quality Canadian canola means more money in the pockets of our farmers and supports good, middle-class jobs for Canadian farm families. The Government of Canada will not rest until this issue is resolved for our Canadian producers, workers and communities. “Farmers deserve our support as we work to maintain full market access to China and create new opportunities for them to grow their business. We are ensuring that farmers have the security they need leading into this year’s season to help manage their cash flow, giving them the flexibility to sell their canola at the best time and at the best price. Our government will always stand up for Canadian interests and support hardworking farmers as we work closely with

the grains sector, exporters and provinces to secure unrestricted market access for Canada’s highquality canola,” says Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “For the last three years our government has been focused on diversifying our trading partners and opening new markets to highquality, Canadian-made products, including canola. Through our new trade agreements, Canadian businesses—including exporters and agri-food producers—now have preferential market access to an estimated 1.5 billion customers around the globe. This trade mission will give us another opportunity to open new doors for our canola farmers in both Japan and South Korea,” adds Jim Carr, Minister of International Trade Diversification. “The Canola Council of Canada continues to work on behalf of the entire canola value chain with federal and provincial governments to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. We are pleased that the federal government has listened to our recommendations and announced additional support to help producers through these uncertain times, and we will continue to advocate in the best interest of our sector,” chimes in Jim Everson, President, Canola Council of Canada.

Now that you’ve gone over your baby with a fine tooth comb and you are ready to climb on board, what’s your first order of business? For me it’s a parking lot 2 blocks from home where I can spend a half hour reacquainting myself with my motorcycle’s weight and my clutch and brake. A little bit of parking lot time helps me make sure that everything about my bike is performing as expected during a fast/hard stop, during some cone weaving and obstacle maneuvers. A Half hour of reacquainting yourself after 5-7 months off is definitely worth doing in my books. When you head out, make sure you are watching for those who are not watching for you. You need to ride like every-

one around you is blind and can’t see you. They aren’t looking for you. They are reading texts, scolding their kids, eating lunch, and basically doing everything but driving. If you accept that fact and roll with it, you are less likely to fall prey to an inattentive human being. A rider needs to be like a coyote , always looking for a way out. When I took my rider training course they drilled into our heads SIPDE - Scan, Identify, Predict, Decide and Execute. Your head should be on a swivel, constantly scanning the road ahead as well as ditches and sideroads. When you identify a potential hazard or danger, like a car that is pulling up to a stop sign on a side road, you need to predict what that driver is going to do and then decide how you are going to handle things when they pull out in front of you. Then you execute on your decision. All of this will transpire in the space of seconds. Be on the lookout constantly, stay focused and aware and enjoy your riding season.
