For the third year in a row, the Dawson Creek Festival of Trees ramps up - this year at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery on November 23. “Last year we raised just over $28,000 bringing our two year total to nearly $60,000,” says organizer Janine Cumberland.

DC Festival of Trees is back again

97 Riders continue helping people in the community At their 2019 year end dinner and fundraiser, 97 Riders Motorcycle Association provided a rebuilt wheelchair accessible van for local resident Jeanette Dutton. “You don’t know how much this means to me, I now have my independence to get around again.” says Jeanette who has been battling Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) for many years and is currently residing in Moberly Lake. “This is one of the most rewarding giveaways we have had.” says Robby ‘Yoda’ Randell, President of the group. “She (Jeanette) was so emotional and it felt good to help her out.” The rebuilt van, estimated to be worth about $8,000, was made possible through contributions from Southern Alberta resident Kayla Jaeger and family, local resident and retired firefighter Terry

Fraser and Celtic Construction C. Chandler. A special thanks to Arvin Huitema and his team at Minute Muffler & Brakes who donated parts and a thorough mechanical/electrical out of province inspection to ensure the van was 100% road safe. The 97 Riders have also raised another $1,000 to help a local resident Teressa Van Tassel, who simply needed a leg up and 97 Riders are there for her and her family. This bike riding association continues to be a reliable contributor and helpful hand in the community. Going forward, the group continues to work toward becoming a registered non-profit association and asks for local support in continuing to help those people directly in need. For more information, contact Vice President Gordy (Sluggy) Parker at 250-719-8226.

Breakfast Brief CANOLA PRICES POISED TO FINALLY BREAK OUT? (FarmLead.com, October 4, 2019) Grain markets this morning are mostly in the green, with canola prices notably breaking through a key level of resistance yesterday and still inching higher. After some of the tough travel I’ve had the last few days, we’re back in the saddle for the first FarmLead Breakfast Brief in a week! Last Friday, we were looking forward the USDA’s quarterly stocks report, which was released on Monday. The USDA ended up providing some bullish support to grain markets as both corn and soybean inventories as of September 1st came in below prereport expectations. On the macro front, broader equity markets tumbled a bit this week, finding new monthly lows. This was partially driven by the weakest U.S. manufacturing quarter in a decade. The debate amongst investors now is whether this is just a warning sign of an oncoming recession, or is it just a hiccup? Rain vs Frost vs Harvest vs Planting It looks like weather across the Midwest will trend drier over the next week, after the wet start to October. This should give those crops still working on getting to a mature state a few more days to do so. That said cooler temperatures are rounding the corner here, with Northern Plains and Great Lakes states getting closer and closer to that freezing mark. The I-states aren’t expected to see frost for another 2 weeks or so, a little beyond when frost usually shows up in the Corn Belt.

56617

While American farmers have been, for the most part, watching it rain over the last week or so, Brazilian farmers are waiting for some moisture to get their soybean planting campaign going. The state with the most amount of soybean production, Mato Grosso, has only 2% seeded while #2 producer, Parana, is at 10%, the slowest start in the past 7 years. The problem is that both the near and long-term forecasts aren’t really calling for an abundance of rain: one model has fairly dry expectations for the next week while another is forecasting 75% of normal precipitation over the next 2 weeks. That said, the USDA’s attaché in Brazil is forecasting a 2019/20 soybean harvest in Brazil of 123.5 MMT, with exports estimated at 75 MMT. Compare this to the USDA’s official estimate in the September WASDE of 123 MMT in production and 76.5 MMT of exports. On a related note, Rabobank said earlier this week that China’s hog herd was cut in half in the first 8 months of 2019, thanks to the ASF virus and they’re expecting that number to top 55% before the calendar year is done. A few weeks ago, I asked if the African Swine Fever could ever be solved and there’s limited evidence available today that suggests it can be. That said, it’s likely that we’re going to see some long-term ramifications to this significant reduction in the pork supply chain in the People’s Republic. On the flipside, the U.S. pork value chain has room to grow and it’s likely that the industry could be coming up more in trade talks between Washington and Beijing. Canola Prices Break Resistance on Weather Canola prices finally broke through some resistance levels as traders are starting to recognize the negative impact all the recent snow in Western Canada could have on the size of Harvest 2019. Canola prices on the futures board gained for its fourth straight day yesterday as less-than-ideal weather continues to plague the progress of Harvest 2019 for the oilseed (let alone other crops). Supporting canola prices a bit has been strong soybean values, mainly thanks to stronger export sales, including yesterday’s numbers of a little more than 2 MMT, which beat the pre-report expectations. Historically, canola prices start to find some strength as we move in the fourth quarter of the calendar year, with values starting to temper out towards the end of November. Thereafter, canola prices are a bit stagnant in December before usually finding a little more momentum to the upside in January. This year, we’re likely seeing a fall rally in canola prices taking place a little earlier than usual given the headache that the snow has created. The “white headache” has been in every single province across the Canadian Prairies, grinding combining progress to a halt. In talking to a few producers over the past week, I’ve heard their remaining fields left to be harvested described as “soup”, “muck”, “disgusting”, and “slop”. Like canola prices, hard red spring wheat prices have also started to find some strength, something I explored further in this week’s Wheat Market Insider for the Alberta Wheat Commission. Overall, many areas will need to see sunshine and wind for a few days to get the combines back in the field. We certainly know that grain dryers are going to be going full tilt again until at least Christmas as grain tries to get dried down before delivering it to market. That said, we also know that, despite natural gas prices being relatively low, the Canadian carbon tax is ticking the bill higher on said drying costs.

Producers urged to engage local candidates The countdown to the Federal General Election on October 21st is officially underway. The CCA is encouraging all producers to reach out to their local candidates (whether or not they are likely to win, as their party may end up governing) and share CCA’s recommendations to further position Canada’s beef industry as a key sector of sustainable growth. Ways to engage include: a face-toface meeting, attend a debate or candidate’s event, email candidates’ offices, and ask them questions pertaining to CCA’s priorities.

What is your Party’s view of the economic and cultural significance of the beef cattle sector to Canada? Does your Party support the sustainable expansion of the Canadian beef heard as part of growing Canada’s agri-food industry? How will your Party create the conditions to foster sustainable expansion of the beef cattle herd in Canada? How will your Party increase market access and boost Canada’s agri-food exports into the Asian marketplace? What other specific priorities will your Party have to create Examples of questions, which new market access opportuniwere taken from CCA’s Election ties for Canadian beef access?

Mutilated horse died of natural causes

“They were very thorough with their autopsy ... but I still question things,” Amanda Babock told CBC News about the necropsy performed on her 21-year-old horse named Kelly. “There wasn’t a mark on him other than he was missing his penis and he had a small piece of skin that was missing around it.” It happened 10 days after a bull was also found dead and missing its genitals in Cecil Lake. Both incidents have renewed concerns among farmers in the region after similar incidents happened in the region five years ago. Babcock said Friday she still has many unanswered questions, and that too many coincidences don’t seem to add up. Babcock had been keeping her horse at her mother’s home, and noted the fence had been cut. Babcock also questions why a scavenger would go after the genitals, removed with minimal tearing and little blood, instead of the hind end, where there’s more meat. “How many coincidences does there have to be, before they are no longer coincidence?” Babcock asked. The BC RCMP Livestock Section is assisting Fort St. John RCMP with the investigations. Police have said it’s unclear whether the two animal deaths are related, and that there was no

evidence to indicate the animals were killed by predators. RCMP have advised farmers to check their livestock regularly and to ensure their properties are properly secured. They are also encouraging farmers to report suspicious activity and compare notes with one another, and to install wildlife cameras that can

be used for video surveillance. Babcock is also encouraging residents to keep a close eye on their animals and their neighbours. “Be aware,” Babcock said. Anyone with information about the two incidents is asked to call RCMP at 250-787-8100, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A horse found dead and mutilated north of Fort St. John this week reportedly died from natural causes. Veterinarians have ruled the horse died from a perforated bowel, and that scavengers were responsible for the mutilation of the animal, which was found missing its genitals after its owners discovered the dismaying scene in Rose Prairie on Oct. 1.

What is your horse - pet, partner, couch potato or athlete? Let me explain. This is a diagram I sometimes use at clinics. A REACTIVE horse is one that is scared and worried about it’s surroundings or people or one person in particular. They are unconfident about our requests or the way we ask. Their movements are usually quick and they do more or go faster than asked. A RESPONSIVE horse is one that responds to our requests not more or less than we’ve asked. NONRESPONSIVE is a horse that doesn’t respond or react, very dull and unmotivated. You would like to do something but they are busy eating grass or smelling poop. A PET is like the dog that blocks the door when you try to come or go, or when you call them it appears like they didn’t hear so you yell louder but he still keeps chasing the horses or barking all night. He might come if there is the promise of food but not if he has ate recently. A PARTNER is like the dog that tears off the deck after some deer in the yard and when you call “quietly”, he slides to a stop and comes running back. When you are riding on your horse and your dog is laying patiently in the corral waiting for you to be finished and as you ride by you again “quietly” say their name and point to the outside of the corral. They jump up wag their tail and lay down right where you pointed. An ATHLETE is the horse that has lots of life and stamina, is fit, and enjoys moving. A COUCH POTATO is unfit, probably over weight, if it was asked to move fast it might just pull a muscle. Probably hasn’t moved quickly for any reason for years. Everything is done at a snails pace. Now for interest sake, chose the two you think would be the least desirable qualities to have in a horse. Then, pick any of the two qualities that you would most desire. Finally, pick the two that best describe what you have with your horse now. Once you have picked the combination that best suits your situation, circle whether it is nonresponsive, responsive, or reactive. The combination of two qualities I would least want in a horse is a pet/ athlete. The

reason is, I then would be riding a horse that wants to move his feet and I would have no say in where they are going. He does what he wants, when he wants, and I would be like a frog on a rocket. At least with a couch potato/pet we would be going slowly where they wanted to go or just standing still. The two that I would most desire is an athlete/partner. Now, I can do and go where I want as fast or slow as I want and I’m on a horse that is able and willing to do it. Which in short, would also be a responsive horse. For some people they only want a couch potato/partner. So he does what they want just slowly with no chance of there being a mix up and suddenly receiving unintentional speed or quickness. The good and bad news is a person can take any horse and turn them into a couch potato, pet, partner, responsive, reactive or nonresponsive. All horses are born fairly athletic, some much more than others but kept fit and healthy most are capable of more than enough for most situations. When you play with your horse what are you trying to create. What are you working towards? The horse or horses we have at the moment do not need to stay the way they are unless we like the behaviors they have. They can always become more and improve with the right kind of help. There are three things we can look at and question how these behaviors or traits in ourselves might effect what kind of horse we create. If we were to draw three lines on a paper, parallel to each other and equally spaced and call the first line “passive”, the middle line “assertive” and the last line “aggressive”. Somewhere on this graph our personality fits. What experience has shown to date is that the closer I can stay to assertive with my horses, the better our relationship is, and the closer to having a partner I will get. Having said all this, being assertive is great but we can never forget about the amount of feel, timing and understanding we have, which plays equally as much

to the outcome we have with our horses. If our feel, timing or understanding in any given situation is off, our horse very easily could perceive us as something other than what we wanted. Focus and the ability to stick to the job at hand cannot be over looked as well. If we didn’t have the focus to stick with it until there was improvement in some small way the horse does not understand what it was all about or that we were even looking for a change. Then the next time out, the horse thinks: “Here we go again, we are going to do stuff and finally they will put me away.” They zone out and wait for their shift to be over, instead of trying to figure out what it is you are looking for. A person can teach their horse to be present and learning or just enduring another session or ride. Horses can only be as good as the handler. Frustration when working with a horse on occasion is inevitable, but we can work on ourselves and keep the frustrating sessions fewer and farther between. How we handle the frustration is what is the most important. Keep it fun, and after each session ask yourself from the horses’ perspective “How did I do?” Have fun, and enjoy the time you spend with horses.

The Northern Horizon, October 11, 2019

Talking about chronic kidney disease in dogs and cats is increased drinking, increased urination, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or sudden blindness. All of these signs can be seen for different reasons, so further investigation by your veterinarian is important. You can help your veterinarian by providing an accurate history with the abnormalities you have seen in your pet. As many of the signs seen with kidney disease can be seen with different illnesses, diagnostics are important in finding kidney disease. Bloodwork and urine analysis are both crucial in diagnosing chronic kidney disease but other diagnostics will aid in ruling out other illnesses. Bloodwork is also helpful to evaluate how severe the kidney disease is and aids in directing appropriate treatment. Abnormailites we see on bloodwork is elevation of kidney enzymes while the urine is not concentrated. We also look for elevation in phosphorus as the kidneys lose the ability to clear it from the body.

As our pets age, we often see behavioural and physical changes in them – some of these may be normal signs of aging while others may indicate that there is a medical problem. Today I will discuss chronic kidney disease, one of the illnesses we see relatively commonly that can be mistaken for old age changes and unfortunately can be hard to manage. Chronic kidney disease means there has been longstanding damage to kidney cells that has led to irreversible damage. Most commonly, kidney disease is seen in older patients but rarely it can be from a hereditary condition and in those cases are seen earlier in life. We often never find out what causes the damage as it happens much before we see the effects. The kidneys have a large reserve capacity, meaning it takes a large loss of cells until we see the effects of it. Unfortunately, this means we often don’t find the disease until it has progressed significantly. This highlights the importance of yearly geriatric exams and regular bloodwork as it allows to catch diseases earlier.

Treatment can vary greatly depending on how severe the chronic kidney disease is. Chronic kidney disease is a progressive disease so treatment can only slow the disease down, and not cure it. Treatment is generally lifelong. If your pet is very ill and dehydrated, intravenous fluid and other supportive care is initiated until they feel better. One aspect of treatment is a diet change. The best option is to start on a prescription renal diet – these are low in phosphorus and protein which improves kidney function. A down side of this diet is that it is not very palatable so when dogs and cats aren’t feeling very good anymore they sometimes refuse this food. If this is the case, another diet with high quality protein can be tried. If phosphorus is high, we start medication that binds the phosphorus and reduces it. Another medication we often choose reduces high blood pressure often seen with kidney disease which is helpful as high blood pressure can lead to further damage to the kidneys. Additional medication may be prescribed if there is vomiting or other effects from the kidney disease. Regular follow up bloodwork is very important with these medications, as we need to know if the dose is right and if our values are improving. With medication and regular follow up, this disease can become very intense to manage.

Common signs we see with chronic kidney disease are generally not specific such An important aspect of chronic kidney as weight loss, inappetence, poor haircoat disease is changes at home to improve the and lethargy. Other signs that can be seen welfare of the pet. Having unlimited access

to fresh water at all times and encouraging water intake in your pet is crucial. You may need to play around with what kind of water source your pet prefers to encourage them. This is especially important in cats as they can be quite picky. Try different water bowls and even filling it up to different levels. Water fountains can increase water consumptions in many cats. Switching to canned food and adding some additional water is another way to get more water into our pets. For our feline friends, also make sure there are plenty of litterboxes in different spots of the house, preferably in quiet places they like to go. Again, cats can be picky with what type of litterboxes they like and what kind of litter they prefer, so play around with this if they are not wanting to use the litterbox. In a multi-cat household, there should be the same number of litterboxes as cats plus one extra. If you have a cat or dog that has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, keep in mind this is a condition we can only manage and not cure but pets can continue to live happily, especially if diagnosed early on. Regular check ups and bloodwork especially as your pet ages are crucial for diagnosing kidney disease, as well as other illnesses, early on.

New film explores role of cattle in preserving Canadian grasslands Native prairie grasslands are iconic landscapes in Canada providing vital habitat for over 60 at-risk species and offering much of the carbon capture potential for our country. However, they are disappearing at an alarming rate – even though considered one of the most endangered ecosystems in the entire world. A new short documentary, Guardians of the Grasslands, looks at the integral role cattle play in maintaining and preserving grasslands for the plant and animal species calling these grasslands home. Created in collaboration with local ranchers and wildlife and conservation groups, the film will have official media release events across Canada this fall and is available by request for group film screenings.

Fort St. John Senior Flyers to take one-year leave of absence from NPHL There will be one less hockey team to watch at the North Peace Arena this winter. The Fort St. John Senior Flyers announced Monday they have requested a oneyear leave of absence from the NPHL due to a lack of player availability. The Flyers expressed regret with the decision in a press re-

lease, saying it was not one taken lightly. “On behalf of the FSJ Senior Flyers Hockey Club, I offer my sincere apologies to all of our faithful fans, sponsors, volunteers and alumni who have stood by this storied team for over six decades,” said Flyers President Paul van Nostrand.

Dealing with these fall harvest farm fires “This plan needs to detail what happens on the farm should a fire start,” says Blaine Metzger, project technologist manager at the Farm Stewardship Centre. “This includes an evacuation plan, a list of numbers to call, and mustering point. It’s vital all farm family members and employees are aware of this plan and what it contains.” “You should also limit vehicle access into harvested fields. Trucks can easily start fires when crossing fields especially in tall stubble. If limiting access isn’t realistic, you can at least cut a pathway on your first harvesting round for vehicles to use, especially where they might park.” If a fire does break out, Metzger says to always ensure safety first. “Everyone needs to get out of the fire area to a muster point and to make sure 911 has been called. If there is a water source nearby, such as a pumping truck or tank with

a pumping system, you can try and contain the fire if safe to do so. If you have a tillage unit available you can also try and till ahead of the fire to create a fire break, again, if it’s safe. Of course, make sure you don’t drive through the fire.” Metzger adds that tilling a fire break around a field is the first preventative measure in a high risk area. “It can help keep a fire from spreading or at least slow it down. However, any tilling at any time can create other issues.” He says to be aware of your surroundings in a fire. “If there’s a dugout or creek, you may be able to set up a pumping system there with a long hose you can use as a fire extinguisher. And, if absolutely sure of your safety, and there is time, you can try and unhook your equipment, such as a fuel tank on your tractor, so that it doesn’t catch fire and make things far worse.”

Post-harvest perennial weed control “In annual cropping systems, one option for perennial weed control in the fall includes a postharvest glyphosate application,” says Mark Cutts, crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “A fall application of a glyphosate product results in the herbicide being moved down into the root system and generally provides very good control of these weeds.” He says that producers need to evaluate a number of factors to achieve perennial weed control in the fall. “An important component of post-harvest weed control is ensuring there is sufficient leaf area present on the target weeds. Weeds that grow up into the crop canopy, such as Canada thistle and quackgrass, will be removed during harvest, leaving minimal plant material. As a result, a regrowth period is required so enough leaf material is present.” He notes that Canada thistle requires 3 to 4 new leaves that are several inches in length while quackgrass requires a plant height of 6 to 8 inches and a minimum of 3 to 4 new leaves. “For dandelions, the removal of plant material during harvest typically benefits control. The removal of the crop canopy allows for improved access to dandelions and better herbicide cover-

age will occur.” Another factor to consider is the impact of frost on the growth of the target perennial weeds. Frosts can terminate the growth of perennial plants, so it is important to evaluate the plants after a frost. “Assessing the impact of frost is best achieved 1 to 2 days after a frost event,” he adds. “If the majority of the perennial weeds consist of leaf tissue that is green - greater than 60% - a glyphosate product can be applied.” He adds that perennial weeds vary in their ability to tolerate frost and knowing their frost tolerance helps with their control. Typically, dandelions are the most tolerant to frost, quackgrass has moderate frost tolerance and Canada thistle is considered the most sensitive. Harvest management can also affect the success of a post-harvest glyphosate application. “Leaving higher stubble heights will increase the leaf area remaining after harvest and reduce the time required to reach the proper re-growth stage,” he explains. “Removal of straw or the even spread of straw and chaff will allow for consistent re-growth of perennial weeds throughout the field and also allow for good spray coverage of target weeds.”

Perennial fruit orchards are long-lived, long-term investments which require regular maintenance and upkeep to ensure that they retain their youthful health, vigour and productivity for an extended period. “Ensuring that crops survive the harsh prairie climate can be challenging, as the weather is hard on orchards,” says Robert Spencer, commercial horticulture specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “If they are handled correctly, our orchard crops should handle most of what Mother Nature throws at them and the investment will be protected from loss.” A big part of managing an orchard in the off-season starts with lots of in-season and pre-off-season management, involving keeping plants healthy, active at the right time of year, and productive. Generally, over-wintering of all plants revolves around the same basic guidelines. Provided you have started with hardy plant material that is suited to your area and those plants enter winter healthy, they should be able to handle most of what is thrown at them. “However, the work doesn’t stop there,” explains Spencer. “The dormant season is a time to monitor and assess orchard health at a higher, general level, as opposed to specific, in-season production monitoring and management. It is a time to make adjustments based on the previous growing season and make any corrections.” Winter is also a time for pruning, with dead, diseased or damaged branches removed, as well as larger sized branches. “Thin and shape the canopy as required, ensuring that the plants have younger wood and aren’t too tall,” says Spencer. “Intensive rejuvenation pruning activities may also be undertaken in older orchards in the dormant season and can be done up until mid-March, as long as the plants are still dormant.” “Another aspect of off-season management is done largely in your mind and on paper,” adds Spencer. “Assess what worked and what isn’t working in your orchard. Evaluate the productivity and profitability of the orchard and make adjustments as required. Make plans for various situations, and assemble the necessary tools in advance, to make you more nimble in-season.”

Province seeks feedback on growing farming, protecting farmland in BC

People are invited to an engagement session in Prince George on Oct. 3, 2019, to have their say on how best to encourage farming and protect farmland throughout British Columbia.

The denser the bale, the better the feed.

for residential options while prioritizing agriculture in the ALR. Since there have been recent changes by government to strengthen the ALR and Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), the ministry, along with the ALC, is hosting in-person sessions throughout B.C. to discuss the purpose and context of these changes. The sessions will also focus on gathering input from people on the three challenges with the goal of supporting B.C. famers and ranchers. The first three sessions have taken place on Vancouver Island and in Delta and Dawson Creek. Additional meetings are scheduled in Kelowna on Oct. 10 and Castlegar on Oct. 30.

The Roll-Belt™ 560 Round Baler produces bales that are 39% more dense than the competition. A denser bale is naturally higher in crude protein and feed value, while providing improved palatability. It adds up to higher quality feed that can increase average daily gain in your cattle. See all the advantages a New Holland Roll-Belt™ Round Baler provides at betterbaling.com.

In response to feedback heard at the 2019 Union of BC Municipalities Conference, the ministry will be adding additional sessions. When meeting details are confirmed, further information will be available online: https://engage.gov. bc.ca/supportingfarmers/

Farmers are facing increased risks and unpredictability related to climate change, rising land prices and pressure to use farmland for non-farm activities. Input is needed so the agriculture industry in B.C. can continue to grow and thrive.

source – their land, now and for generations to come,” said Jennifer Dyson, chair of the ALC. “I look forward to continuing to hear from farmers and ranchers and everyone who cares about the incredible capacity of B.C.’s agricultural land base to produce a bounty of food and farm products on ways to do so.” The engagement period runs from Sept. 19 to Nov. 15, 2019. An engagement summary report will then be prepared and made public. Quick Facts: The ALR was established in 1973 because thousands of acres of the province’s limited farmland were being lost to development every year. The ALR includes 46,159 square kilometres of B.C., which are preserved for agricultural use. This area is equivalent to only 5% of B.C.’s total land base. The ALR is administered by the ALC, an independent tribunal mandated to preserve and encourage farming on agricultural land. The ALC looks at many factors when carrying out its mandate. Each application has its own set of circumstances and is considered on its own merits. Learn More:

Collie Corner By Carol Nelson

Set yourself up for success My grandma had a couple of sayings that she often liked to quote as I grew up. One was “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and the other was, “if a job is worth doing then it is worth doing well.” As a young person, these quotes perhaps didn’t carry quite as

much meaning to me as her but never the less they stayed in my mind and as the years have gone by they have been good words of wisdom. They have certainly carried over into training dogs. Providing a good set up before starting will avoid a lot of wrecks and bad habits from

beginning. The single most important criteria is to have dog broke sheep when introducing and starting a pup to work. The breed of sheep should have a naturally quiet nature so they are not flighty and trying to run away. One of the best breeds for this is the Scottish black face as they are both calm and relaxed when close to dog and handler if they are used to being worked. They are a smaller sheep that travel at a slow pace as they are not very athletic. A smaller pen with no square corners will allow the dog room to get behind the sheep to bring them to the handler while still being contained enough that the handler can step into the dog and guide his movements around the sheep. The sheep should understand to move and turn for the dog as it approaches. This scenario prevents dog and sheep getting out of control and sets the stage for a positive work session. The handler can focus on the dog rather than

runaway sheep. At clinics, I always tell people to get good dog broke sheep before starting. Very few people follow through and do this but as time goes on they all say if they started again this would be their first step, so this is a chance to learn from others and prevent making the same mistake! Find dog broke sheep!!! The next step is to find assistance from someone you feel comfortable with. Learning should be enjoyable and you should feel free to ask questions. After the day is done sit back, relax and write notes on the days activities so that down the road you can go back and review as it is easy to forget small bits of advice while focusing on the big picture. These three specifics have a large impact on starting a working dog. Taking the time and putting effort into preparation will ensure that the handler and dog get off to the best possible start in a working career.

Balisky - always supporting and pleasant about it Lexi Balisky grew up Ranching alongside her parents and siblings in Lloydminster, Ab. After graduating from the high school in Marwayne, she went on to earn a degree in Agriculture Business, majoring in Finance from Olds College. After marrying her husband Todd, the two moved and settled to the Peace Country, just west of Sexsmith. Twenty-one years later, on their ranch, they run a cow/calf operation with their 4 children, Emma, Luke, Heidi and Wyatt. Lexi does her share on the farm by helping wherever is needed, including running equipment, using horses to pull bulls to load into the trailer, among other things. April and May are their busiest seasons, usually full days of calving and the things that come with it. When it comes to the Ranch lifestyle, there is nothing else Lexi would rather be doing. She explained Ranching is unique in the way that it’s a family effort and the kids are involved right away. It can be hard work, but it’s with your family, and your kids learn a lot of responsibility they might not otherwise learn. Among many interests, Lexi is actively involved in her church, Dominion City Fellowship, and clubs such as the La Glace Community Booster Club. She is also a supporter of 4H. She believes it’s a great

teaching tool as it teaches responsibility, and everything from growing animals, such as cattle, to managing and budgeting. Lexi herself is a judge, and judges all three divisions – conformation, showmanship and grooming. She has also done presentations with the Rotary about the positive impact 4H has on youth and agriculture. Currently, Lexi is also the General Leader of the Valhalla Beef Club. When it comes to the current agriculture industry, Lexi sees potential. “I see opportunity for myself, my family and the future of others. Keep passing opportunity on.” She goes on to say that through learning and direction, opportunity was passed to her by her parents, and that’s how they want to raise their own children. “Opportunity is a key word and keeps it rolling through family dynamic and passed down through generations.” One opportunity Lexi sees in the future for agriculture, is for the industry to better present and educate how they raise food, feed and cash crops. She feels it’s very important to narrow the gap of understanding between the people supplying the food and the people purchasing the food. If she could make one thing happen, it would probably be “helping to educate the general public in the business of raising

beef.” When asked if she could have prevented one thing from happening, she responded “Avoid having perceptions that are unrealistic when it comes to balancing profit, humane treatment and ethical methods.” She goes on to say it’s important to help people understand that in the grand scheme, there are a small amount of negative cases when it comes to farming and ranching. That for the most part, Farmers and Ranchers want what they produce, such as their animals, to be healthy and clean because their business depends on that. Where does Lexi see herself in 10 years? “Helping Todd provide opportunity for our children to continue in agriculture if they wish.” When it comes to ranching, Lexi can’t imagine doing anything else. “I’m thankful to have a husband I can help in this business. It’s really important for me to say that, because it’s because of him that I get to do what I do. Some days are harder, it can be cold, windy and wet, but this is the lifestyle we want for us and our family.” Below - Balisky family left – right: Todd, Lexi, Emma, Luke, Heidi and Wyatt. - Amy Ressler

Jacklin - a whole future in agriculture ahead Born and raised in Elmworth, Alberta, Hunter Jacklin is now rolling into her last year of high school. Olds College for Ag management and agri-business may be in the cards. Also Jacklin has five of her own cattle on the larger family farm. “I have always wanted to run my own Black Simmental Pure Bred herd,” she says talking about her family’s TYF brand. “I learned early on that a family farm and ranch is a business like any other - you have to know how to run it,” she says. Jacklin says 4H has been a key cog in her education thus far. Learn to do, by doing; has been a key mantra of 4H and Jacklin.

“I’ve made lifelong friends and public speaking for almost everyone gets easier each time out. You learn if you are grooming and taking care of an animal how much time and hard work is required. There are rewards for it, but you have to put in the work first. She sees the agriculture industry in a bit of a reload. “There is a bit of a clean slate - people in previous years have created this approach - the business end, veterinarians, ranches, there are many ways to get into agriculture.” Like anything else, Hunter knows there there are high and lows that are a part of agriculture, the industry and more. Jacklin turns 17 this month. - Rob Brown

McLachlan - aiming to save the planet with cattle Livestock Club for 8 years. “Thanks to Fancy and my 4-H cows, my herd grew, and after graduating from Fairview High School in 2011, they helped immensely in putting me through postsecondary education. I attended Lakeland College in Vermillion AB, graduating with a diploma in Agribusiness in 2013.” Since graduating from Lakeland, she has worked for AFSC Crop Insurance, ATB Agriculture, and Peace Country Beef & Forage Association, where she is currently. “I have been with Peace Country Beef & Forage Association off and on since I was a summer student in 2012. I am currently the Environmental & Communications Coordinator – helping coordinate extension events and materials as well as being quite involved in the Association’s research activities at the Fairview Research Farm. I am very passionate about the work we are doing currently in the regenerative agriculture space.” Currently, her work with Peace Country Beef & Forage Association keeps her very busy and on the road. “In addition, I am farming with my brother and mother on the family ranch near Dunvegan. We started our regenerative agriculture journey in 2015 when we seeded our first cocktail cover crop for silage. We started growing cocktails as a way to get more yield out of our limited land resources, but have since realized the importance of soil health, and how focusing on our soils will help to ensure we get a crop every year.” This year, she was selected as a semifinalist for the Cattlemen’s Young Leaders program through the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. she headed to Calgary for selections at the Canadian Beef Industry Conference August 12-15th. Katie McLachlan was born in Fairview, AB and raised on her family ranch near Dunvegan. “My dad gifted me my first cow when I was six years old. She was a blue roan heifer that I named ‘Fancy’. She and her heifers helped to solidify the ‘cow crazy’ in me, insisting I join 4-H as soon as I could.” She was a member of the Fairview 4-H

living no sane young person would go into. However, now we are seeing a surge in Ag Schools, more kids are coming back to the farm, and we are seeing a lot more firstgeneration farmers entering the industry.” She thinks the ag industry is on the cusp of ‘the next big thing’ in agriculture – Regenerative Ag. Intercropping, cover crops, adaptive – not just rotational – grazing. “More and more research is being conducted across North America on multi-species crops and high-impact grazing management and the results are staggering. We can sequester huge amounts of carbon in the soil in short periods of time, while producing double or triple the forage matter. I think we will see cows go from being the enemy and seen as the reason for climate change, to being one of the single biggest tools the world has for combatting climate change and desertification. #CowsSaveThePlanet!!” The future is simple - she would like to be farming and making a good living at it. “There’s an old native saying – ‘Once you drink the water from the Peace river, you will always return,’ The Peace Country is my home, and I do not see that changing anytime soon.” If she could make one thing happen it would be to give every farmer and rancher the courage to talk about their mental health struggles, as well as give people the patience and ability to listen. “If I could have prevented one thing from happening it would have been BSE! I saw a lot of good ranchers lose everything. Sacrifices were made, families torn apart, people lost too soon due to the stress. It was a hell of a time to grow up in.”

When McLachlan looks at the current Ag industry - she sees opportunity. In ten years her vision is simple. “There is hope in the agriculture sec“Making a good living farming in the tor again. Even when I was in high school, Peace Country, while saving the planet when we were coming out of the worst of with my cows.” BSE, I was questioned by so many people why the heck I would even consider going to school for agriculture.

Amber Carter - passion for horses, cattle and ranch life Amber Carter was born in Grande Prairie, AB and raised in the small hamlet of Grovedale. She graduated in 2007 with her LPN diploma. At this time, she met her husband Jarin, and “we both knew right away our passion for cattle, horses, and the ranch way was meant to be.” After marrying in 2010, they formed J Lazy A Ranch. “We run about 350 Purebred Red and Black Angus cattle, ranch horses and cattle dogs.” “As a young girl growing up, I was always interested in horses, our farmyard animals and making sure I could be outside to help with the cows. As I got older, I played competitive woman’s hockey, and was proud to be on one of the first female rep hockey teams in Grande Prairie. With being so busy now, I enjoy just being able to spend time in my garden, riding our horses and playing with the kids. With the kids getting older, it is fun to be able to watch them enter the odd barrel racing or mutton busting competition over the summer.” Amber has a large and active role in the running of their ranch. Doing everything from their purebred bookwork, bull sale and catalogue, to all of the other day to day stuff involved

with the animals and running a busy ranch. “Our goal each year with our cattle is to produce good quality functional bulls and heifers that are built for our Peace Country and can go out and work for the buyers. We are always striving for great quality feet and udders in cattle. We take pride in our cow herd and are constantly looking and creating genetics to keep improving,” she says. “When I look at the current Agriculture Industry, I see how great of a life it is for families and their children. Everyone in this Industry should be proud of themselves and the hard work they put in. It is not an easy life, but it is rewarding, and we need to keep promoting the positivity of raising cattle and how it benefits us and the environment. There has been a lot of negativity in the news and social media and we need to keep pushing through and do what we can to keep promoting our Industry.” She says education is key between the producers and consumers and I think we need to keep educating that the beef we raise is healthy for people and the environment.” “I see lots of opportunities for the younger gen-

erations coming up. It starts now with children being involved and being connected in the industry. If we can keep promoting beef and the cattle industry, there are lots of opportunities for the younger generations with raising and selling cattle. My hope is that in families, the children can keep the farm or ranch going and pass It down from generation to generation. I also see the woman’s voice in agriculture growing which is great for the next generation of young girls; it starts now with educating and encouraging them to have voice.” Amber hopes to keep learning and focusing on animal agriculture. “To raise our children in a positive ranch way of life. Teach them to advocate that animal agriculture is a great way of life and good for people and the environment. Have our kids actively involved in 4H and rodeo. It is so rewarding getting to work so close with my family every day, and seeing our kids getting to live in this lifestyle,” she says. “They are exposed to life lessons and responsibilities, and I think it is the best way of life for the kids, and I am so thankful every day.”- Amy Ressler

Canada’s most rider friendly community - last year it was in SK

For the last four years we at Belt Drive Betty Media have been holding contests to find the Most Rider Friendly Communities in Canada. Working alongside our presenting sponsor Community Futures, we have been working to connect rural Canada to the services that Community Futures can bring to bare in economic development. Riders love having rural places to visit, away from the hubbub of the big cities and the heavily congested highways. Away from so many of the potential dangers, construction zones and, texting drivers to name a few. Rural Canada will not survive without tourism. Farming alone isn’t enough with the family farm becoming the monster corporate farm. Riders and rural Canada need each other. So what is it exactly, that makes a community Rider Friendly? Well it takes a few things. Number one, you want the ride to get to your community to be one that people can enjoy. Number two, when they get there, you want them to have something to do. Number three, while they are

there, you want to make them feel so welcome, that they feel compelled to come back. Hafford Saskatchewan is the reigning champion from the 2018 riding season. This small Saskatchewan town of 400 won the Rider Friendly Community Contest for the 2018 riding season. Like many rural communities Hafford is fighting for survival but unlike some of the rural communities out there, Hafford has a couple of aces up its sleeve. For one, it has a unique flavour in that it celebrates its Ukrainian heritage in a way few towns celebrate their heritage. The street signs are in English & Ukrainian. There are three churches in this small town, St. Solange Roman Catholic Parish, the Speers Pioneer Memorial United Church but the most celebrated is the Descent of the Holy Spirit Orthodox Church, Hafford, Saskatchewan pictured to the right. You see, at one time, Hafford was the largest Ukrainian settlement in Saskatchewan. In between, and all around Hafford, there are many things to do. There is Redberry Lake, and the Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve, the Crooked Bush, The Popoff Tree, the

Doukhobor Dugout House National Historic Site, The Sesula Mineral & Gem Museum in Radisson. All of these very interesting things are literally in Hafford’s backyard. In their front yard are bilingual signs, the interesting churches, the Hafford Co-op, Supreme Motorcycle & Auto Repair and the AM Bistro and Bakery. What most rural communities forget is that they have two commodities that can sometimes be hard to come by in other areas. REALLY, really good home cooked food and customer service that is friendly, genuine and heartfelt. The AM Bistro & Bakery is run by a local family, the food is amazing, and you cannot complain about the service. It’s attentive even when they are swamped busy! In small towns, the pace is a little slower so the big picture is easier to see. For me the first draw was immediately evident with that first sip of corn chowder soup. Customer service and good food are two big draws to get riders to come out and guess what all of those riders also drive vehicles. The very fact that there are so many other attractions in the

area, is a huge bonus! Then I met Heather and Larry Dale (left) from Supreme Motorcycle & Auto Repair and I saw the next draw. Two big hearted people who want to make a difference for their communities where they live in Hafford and for the riding community. And then there are their secret weapons. Elk Burgers and INCREDIBLE music. The Brothers G. A local band made up of 2 - 18 year olds and one 22 year old, whose voices belay ancient, old souls. The Ride for Dad and other big events have used Hafford as a stop point, but Hafford also now has its own show ‘n’ shine that was a huge hit. Everyone that attended had a blast. Rural does not mean boring anymore than Saskatchewan equals flat land. You need to get off the beaten path of the Trans Canada Highway to discover the real beauty of the rolling hills, rivers, valleys and coulees that are Saskatchewan. Hafford Saskatchewan IS Canada’s MOST Rider friendly Community and deservedly so. Belt Drive Betty, Editor & Rider

Elm pruning ban in Alberta ends this month borders are being pressed from two sides, Saskatchewan and Montana, both of which are battling the disease. “Once an elm is infected with DED there is no cure and it must be removed and destroyed immediately,” says Feddes-Calpas. “We must stay vigilant to keep our elms healthy. DED can be prevented.” For more information, call the STOPDED hotline at 1-877-837-ELMS or see Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease. To find an ISA Certified Arborist, see International Society of Arboriculture Prairie Chapter. Contact Connect with Janet Feddes-Calpas: Phone: 403-782-8613

“With the annual ban about to be lifted, it’s time to start taking the dead wood out of your elm trees,” says Janet Feddes-Calpas, executive director, Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease (STOPDED). “To help eliminate elm bark beetle habitat, elm sanitation is essential to an integrated Dutch elm disease (DED) prevention program to keep Alberta DED free.” The only time it is legal to prune elms in Alberta is between October 1 and March 31. “This is when the elm bark beetles, responsible for spreading the deadly DED fungus, are not active,” says Feddes-Calpas. “Elm bark beetles feed on healthy elms and breed and overwinter in dead and dying elm trees. If elm trees are pruned between April 1 and September 30, beetles will be drawn to the scent of the fresh pruning cuts, potentially infecting an otherwise healthy elm.” Having your tree pruned properly is important, says Feddes-Calpas. “STOPDED recommends that all trees be pruned by a professional arborist such as an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborist. They will determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance and safety of your trees. Improper pruning, topping or removing an excessive amount of live wood is not recommended, as this type of pruning will weaken the tree’s structure and shorten its lifespan. It is essential that all pruned elm wood be properly disposed of by burning, burying or chipping by March 31. And, it’s illegal to store elm firewood since it could be harbouring elm bark beetles.” While Alberta is still free of DED, its
