The kids of 4-H British Columbia will put on aprons and get into the kitchen this summer to participate in a new challenge to get creative with B.C. ingredients.

THE NORTHERN HORIZON

“The province’s agriculture industry produces so many fantastic, great tasting local ingredients that the options are endless for 4-H to choose from,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “Our government is committed to investing in the next generations of B.C. farmers, and I can’t wait to see what the participants cook up!”

“The Field to Fork Challenge is a new competition designed as a unique learning opportunity for 4-H members to express their passion and further their knowledge of B.C. agriculture. I am very excited to see what these youth will create,” said Aleda Welch, manager, 4-H BC. “4-H BC is grateful to the BC Investment Agriculture Foundation and the Ministry of Agriculture for their commitment and support. Together we work to advance positive youth development in B.C. by providing the skills and tools necessary for youth to become responsible, caring and contributing youth leaders in their communities.” Beginning June 1, 2020, 4-H members will create and submit videos of themselves preparing a recipe highlighting a B.C. ingredient, such as produce, meat, dairy, grain or honey. The video will include information about how the

ingredient was farmed, raised or processed and how it can be used in culinary creations. Winners from two categories, junior and senior, will be awarded cash prizes. Winners from the senior category will also go to Vancouver to attend the Field to Fork Challenge Weekend, along with some special guest participants from the Agriculture in the Classroom Take a Bite of BC program. The trip includes four days of touring farms, meetings chefs, participating in a cooking challenge and spending a day at the Every Chef Needs a Farmer, Every Farmer Needs a Chef 2020 event, giving them an opportunity to interact with leading chefs and farmers from around the province. Ministry of Agriculture youth development staff guide 4-H club members in farming by providing expertise and hands-on experience in organizational management, agriculture and community leadership education. The ministry also works closely with registered 4-H volunteers who dedicate their time to mentor and inspire young British Columbians. Quick Facts: The 4-H To the Extreme event is a regional one-day event in the Fraser Valley. The first half of the day has the young participants attending four one-hour workshops on 35 different agriculture, youth development and leadership topics. In the afternoon, they will get hands-on learning on topics such as internet safety, outdoor survival and hiking safety.

Grain Markets, Equities Rout, and If It’s Irrational exporters. That said, canola exports have started to improve a bit recently with shipments tracking only 4.3% behind a year ago now through Week 31, with 5.55 MMT sailed. Further, domestic use (read: Canola crush) continues to be strong with 6.22 MMT used up so far, good for a 13% jump from the same week a year ago.

(March 13, 2020, FarmLead.com) Grain markets this morning are mostly in the green alongside equity markets as they rebound after yesterday’s major sell-off in global markets. The situation in both grain markets and global markets is quite fluid and so here’s a quick Coles Notes of the last 36 hours or so: • S. suspends travel between them and Europe for next 30 days. • Federal Reserve injects $1.5 Trillion (yes, with a “T”) into funding markets to prevent “unusual disruptions” in markets.

• Despite the increased liquidity, investors ran to the sidelines yesterday as the Dow Jones lost nearly 10% in Thursday’s trading, the 5th largest drop in its history and the largest since 1987. A quick reminder though that U.S. stock markets are up about 5% this morning.

Will Grain Markets See Panic Too? While the sell-off seen in equity markets is significant, • Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau’s wife, Sophie, tested positive for coronavirus and so she and he will the question many farmers and grain buyers are asking remain in self-isolation for at least the next 2 weeks. me is whether a similar rout can happen in commodity markets. Further, is the sell-off in broader markets • Pretty much every single sports and entertainment in the world has been suspended complete? The best lens to look at all this through is with behavioural economics, or the psychology of for the next 2 months. how people are acting. As Dan Hubeber puts it, “have • The Italian healthcare system is having to enact wartime-esqe decision making. we reached the irrational, ‘I want out at any price’ stage With this last point, it marks a stark warning that, unless you enact strict protocols to prevent the spread of the yet?” He also notes that, despite the fear in broader coronavirus, hospitals and the healthcare system in general will be overwhelmed (mainly because they already equities, grain markets are still trading in the same are; my fiancé is a nurse and so I hear about it regularly!). Here at FarmLead, we’ve initiated a remote work policy range that we’ve seen for the last 5.5 years! as a means to reduce unnecessary travel. We’ve done this to assuage anyone who might feel unsafe, but also doing our part to be good citizens of our communities by limiting the transferability of the coronavirus to others, The fear of contagion has pushed people to increase their preparedness levels, including buying up more especially those more susceptible to serious illness. Specific to grain markets, it’s likely that we’ll close this week lower than we did a week ago, but as a reminder, this food, which will obviously drive up food prices (there’s is the time of year when grain markets find seasonal lows. The difference being that the rout in broader markets more demand but the same supply). Nowhere is this more evident than in China where food prices jumped are causing additional volatility in grain markets and so the move lower is a bit more pronounced. Perhaps there’s some sunny days on the horizon though in the form of returning to normal. The Baltic Dry Index 22% in February compared to the same month in 2019. This is even higher than the 20.6% food price is now sitting at its highest level since late January as inventories in exporting nations is starting to build and increase seen in January. The clear take-away here is the that people still have to eat, food will continue product competes to get moved, such as steel in China. However, at least 80% of the freight industry says that to be transported, which, in turn, grain markets will still be active with companies have to buy grain! their operations are being negatively impacted by the coronavirus, according to a recent Morgan Stanley survey. Given the major drops recently, one could argue that, yes, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, Soybean Exports and that Other Virus In China, while they’re still working on containing the coronavirus, they still are dealing with lagging effects of African Swine Fever. Live hog prices in China are nearly triple what they were a year ago and retail pork prices are up 135% year-over-year as the slowdown in economic production has resulted in a slower-than-expected rebuild of pig inventories.

Rabobank is expecting pig production to fall 15% – 20% in China this year, which would be on top of the 20% reduction in 2019. The bottom line is that while the world focuses on one virus, there’s another one still lurking out there that continues to have major disruptions in the pork market. It’s worth noting that the USDA released its own action plan to combat the African Swine Fever should it make landfall in the U.S., including a 72-hour national standstill of pork production and transports.

but I’ll float another theory: normalcy won’t show up until at least April. This means that volatility will continue in equity and grain markets and what we used to consider “normal” daily life will be sidelined for a few more weeks. Ironically, numerous studies have concluded that “fear and stress weaken our immune system, leaving us more vulnerable to infection,” something Barry Glasner reminded us this week in an LA Times op-ed (and he’s an expert in this field, as a sociologist and author of the book, The Culture of Fear). Whether or not irrationality will spill over into grain markets is yet to be seen. The point is, you, yourself cannot control any of this, especially where grain markets go! Instead, during this time of near-hysteria, focus on what you can control. This might be getting a head start on your Plant 2020 preparations. Maybe it’s a review of what your cost of production will look like this year. Another big one is having a deep discussion with your banker about refinancing as there’s plenty of better options that have opened up recently. Lastly, work on building up your connections of trusted trading partners on Combyne. This is a much more rational and effective use of your time versus scanning your phone and getting caught up in the anxious headlines that the media is pushing.

As the Chinese hog markets battles to rebuild their herd, the obvious question that grain markets are asking is when might demand for feedstuffs start to improve. One of the hard datapoints we know is that soybean exports sales to China continue remain depressed with recent sales sitting. More generally though, actual U.S. soybean exports shipments have been slowing, tracking only 10% ahead of where we a year ago with 30.2 MMT sailed through Week 27 (or 1.11 Billion bushels if converting metric tonnes into bushels). Compare this to a few Have a great weekend! weeks ago when soybean exports were roughly 25% higher than the pace seen in 2018/19. To growth, Worth also noting is that CONAB raised their estimated of the Brazilian soybean harvest to 124.2 MMT. This Brennan Turner echoes the USDA’s higher forecast in this week’s March WASDE report to 126 MMT. As a reminder, based on what CEO the USDA said in Tuesday’s WASDE, Brazil and Argentina will grow 53% of the world’s soybeans this year. The two South American nations are also quite large corn producers but the highlight in corn markets yesterday was FarmLead the 1.6 MMT in U.S. corn exports sales. For this specific week in the crop year, it’s the second-largest weekly sale TF: 1-855-332-7653 of all time. However, from an actual shipments perspective, U.S. corn exports are tacking 42% behind last year help@combyne.ag with just 15.2 MMT sailed or, In a similar vein, it’s been one year since China revoked licenses of Canadian canola @Combyne on Twitter

Some 2020 cropping alternatives for you “Cropping alternatives crop budgets are soil zone specific and cover a variety of dryland and irrigation crops,” explains Manglai, production crops economist at Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF). “Estimated costs for the 2020 growing season are included, but they can be modified to better represent production, prices and costs specific to a farming operation.”

QUALIFIED ALBERTA PULSE GROWERS ELIGIBLE FOR 32.5% TAX CREDIT FOR INVESTING IN RESEARCH (February 24, 2020, albertapulse.com) The Alberta Pulse Growers Commission has confirmed that 32.5 per cent of eligible producers’ 2019 check-off payment is eligible for the Scien�fic Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit for their investment in APG-funded research and development projects. For example, for producers who paid $100 in check-off to APG in 2019, $32.50 is eligible to earn tax credits. Producers who have paid check-off this past year and have not asked for refunds are eligible claimants for this year’s credits. For more detailed informa�on about the SR&ED Tax Credit, APG advises you to contact an accountant or the Canada Revenue Agency. For a history of SR&ED with Alberta Pulse Growers visit h�ps://albertapulse.com/growing-pulses/ sred-tax-credit/ . A summary of APG research investments in 2018-19 is available at h�ps://albertapulse.com/ research/. The federal SR&ED tax program is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and encourages businesses to invest in and perform research and development in Canada. The SR&ED Tax Credit applica�on form can be downloaded directly from the CRA website at h�p://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ txcrdt/sred-rsde/clmng/clmngsrd-eng.html. Individual producers need to apply using the form T2038 (IND) and Canadian controlled private corpora�ons should u�lize the form T2SCH31. The Alberta Pulse Growers Commission represents 6,500 growers of field pea, dry bean, len�l, chickpea, faba bean and soybean in Alberta. Our vision is to have Alberta pulses recognized by consumers as environmentally friendly, healthy, nutri�ous, and recognized by all producers as being an essen�al element in a sustainable cropping system.

er lines along the route.” “If equipment is too wide to fit safely into one lane, approaching traffic could clip the machinery or it could get caught up while crossing a bridge. Equipment that is too tall could come in contact with a power line. Use a pilot vehicle as a guide for large machinery and to warn motorists of oncoming large equipment.” For the safety of all motorists, Lubeck highly recommends that farmers move equipment during high visibility daylight hours and during periods of light traffic. “Avoid busy roads whenever possible, even if travel time will be longer. If your route takes you across a rural railway crossing, be aware that some crossings have poor visibility. Always stop and make sure the way is clear before crossing.” Training Anyone moving equipment, especially on roads, should be trained how to use it, and they must be at least 14 years of age. “Inexperienced operators can make mistakes when they are not familiar with the speed and maneuverability limitations of farm equipment. We advise to read the operator’s manual for each machine and observe any precautions indicated for road travel. Some tractors freewheel in higher gears, which can be very dangerous when travelling down a hill. Use lower gear ranges when climbing or descending hills.” “Never take extra riders on equipment. Extra riders on farm equipment are a distraction to the operator and are at risk of falling off the machinery and being run over. Each person in the machine should be secured with a seatbelt.” Safe driving tips Farm machinery operators can make road travel safer for themselves and others by observing safety precautions. Travel at a speed that will allow the operator to maintain full control at all times. Slow down when making turns or rounding curves. If needed, pull over when there is a suitable area to allow backed-up traffic to pass. Make sure the area is sufficiently wide and solid enough to handle the equipment. “Once on a road, obey all traffic laws and signs,” she adds. “Always wear your seatbelt and use signal lights when turning. Never use a mobile phone while transporting equipment. The distracted driving law, along with all other rules of the road, are in full effect while driving farm machinery on roads and highways.”

Make it safe “Maintenance is a contributing factor to the safety of transporting farm equipment,” says Kenda Lubeck, farm safety coordinator with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. Poor maintenance of equipment such as brakes or tires can lead to loss of control of the vehicle. “Check all tires for air pressure, cuts, bumps and tread wear. Always lock brake pedals together for highway travel. Sudden braking at high speeds on only one wheel could put the tractor into a dangerous skid. Equip heavy wagons with their own independent brakes.” She adds that the number one cause of farm-related fatalities in Canada is machinery rollovers. “To minimize the risk of severe injury or death to the operator, all tractors need rollover protective structures (ROPS). In addition, operators should always wear a seat belt as ROPS are ineffective in a roll over without this restraining device.” Make it visible To avoid traffic collisions between motorists and farm equipment, farmers should ensure their equipment is clearly visible and follows all regulated requirements for lighting and signage. “That way, approaching traffic has time to react to a slow moving vehicle,” she says. Use reflective tape and reflectors on large equipment that may need to be moved when light is dim. In Canada, reflective material should be red and orange strips. Purchase tape in kits or by the foot at local farm or hardware stores. Lubeck adds that dust covered signage and lights make farm machinery less visible to motorists, and dust covered machinery causes poor visibility for the operator who may not see oncoming traffic. Be sure to clean farm equipment prior to transportation to minimize the risk of collision due to poor visibility. “It is important to note that regulated requirements for lighting and signage on roads include the use of a slow moving vehicle (SMV) sign. The SMV sign must be properly mounted, clean and not faded. It must be positioned on the rear of the tractor or towed implement and clearly visible. SMV signs must be used on equipment travelling less than 40 km per hour.” Plan the route “Farmers should check their route prior to starting out with farm equipment,” she explains. “They can see whether their equipment will fit on all roads and bridges and that there are no low-hanging pow-

“The crop budget calculator helps producers with quick budgeting to estimate the cash cost of producing field crops on their farm,” explains Manglai, production crops economist at Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “When farmers put all crop production costs together and then calculate break-even price and yield, decisions about selling at a most profitable margin can be made.” The calculator incorporates:

break even prices, used to examine the relative profitability and competitiveness of a farm’s enterprises and the development of marketing plans break even yields, used to compare new crop or variety potential with current crops He adds that it’s easier for producers to understand crop production costs when they know their capital, cash flow or profitability.

Should all forages be valued the same “There have been many articles written over the years - Agri-News included - that have indicated that feed testing is a good way to minimize winter feeding costs,” says Yaremcio. “But, how does over-mature, rained-on or poorer quality forage impact lactating cow feeding costs. Is there a need to adjust forage prices based on quality?” When forage prices are low, he adds that overfeeding may not be as much of a concern for some producers. “This year however, even with an abundance of hay, bale silage, or swath grazing in many parts of the province, quality is much lower than the 5-year average. Protein is down 20 to 40% compared to normal, and energy content of the forages is down 10 to 20%. It impacts the amount of energy and protein supplemented to keep the cows in good condition.” One recommendation is that a lactating mature cow receives a ration that contains 65% total digestible units (TDN) and 11% protein on a dry matter basis as published in the factsheet, Beef ration rules of thumb. Yaremcio looks at how that impacts the amount of grain that is needed to meet energy require-

ments when feed test results have energy contents between 55 and 63% TDN. He uses a 1,500 lb lactating cow offered forage on a free choice basis as an example. “The temperature is in the -20 C range. Energy content in the forage varies between 55 and 63%. Barley grain is valued at $230 per tonne, or $5 per bushel, and has an 83% TDN value.” Using CowBytes to balance the ration, Table 1 indicates the amount of grain that is required to meet the 65% TDN requirement. He notes that lower quality forages tend to have higher fibre content than a higher quality feed. “It takes longer for the low quality forage to pass through the digestive system, so feed intake increases as the quality increases. That is why the amount of grain required is not a linear function of TDN value.” “The higher quality forage requires less grain supplementation than the lower quality feed. It could be a difference of 10.5 lb of grain per head per day at an additional cost of $1.09 per head per day for the extra grain.” Hay can be sold by the bale or cents per pound, and no differential is factored in for quality.

The Northern Horizon, March 20, 2020

Yaremcio looks at whether lower quality feed should be discounted with the different supplemental feeding costs. He points to the Beef Cattle Research Council’s Feed Testing and Analysis for Beef Cattle webpage that includes a tool to evaluate the economic value of feeds based on nutrient content. Barley and canola meal are used as the base to estimate the value of energy - barley - and protein - canola meal. After entering the current prices for barley and canola meal, and the feed test results for the feeds in question, the calculator provides a relative value for each forage. He uses barley valued at $230 per tonne, or $5 per bushel in Lethbridge, and canola at $293 per tonne - the price at the crushing plant - as an example. The relative value of each forage can be determined. Prices are quoted from Alberta Agriculture and Forestry’s February 14, 2020 Weekly Crop Market Review. “Hays of different TDN and protein contents are evaluated based on feed test results. We need to look at the relative value of the forages containing different quality,” he explains.

12 The Northern Horizon, March 20, 2020

What should I look for when horse shopping? This is a question I think people should ask more often. I forever see people with horses that are definitely not a good match for them. They are not having fun, are not safe, or have bought the wrong type or breed of horse for what it is they want to do and then they don’t do anything at all with their horse because of it. Some things I would suggest when looking for a horse (that has already been started) would be to make a list of what you want to do with your horse. Do you want to for example pleasure ride, jump, work cattle, reining, dressage, race, pull a cart, or take it to the mountains through muskeg, rivers and mountains. Some breeds have a larger capacity to do many things than other breeds. Here are some other considerations: 1. What kind of horse do you need for your skill level, so you don’t end up with something you can’t handle. 2. Is the horse easy to catch? 3. Does it have too much go or too much whoa? Look for sellers that can’t wait to show you all the great things they can do with their horse. If they can’t show you much or not anything and tell you to get on and ride without seeing the owner ride it first; I would be concerned. 4. Can they easily pick up all the feet and hold them to be trimmed. 5. Does the horse load and how well? Can you lead and send the horse into the trailer? Does the horse stay in without being tied or held. Can you back the horse out, or lead them out and stop calmly anytime you like? 6. Does he stand still to be saddled and to get on, or does he need to be tied for saddling and starts jigging around when you mount? 7. What do they use on the horse’s head to ride? 8. What gaits are they willing to show the horse at? How pure are the gaits? Does the horse appear impulsive or dull or just right? 9. Is the horse confident or scared? Does the seller demonstrate where the confidence level of the horse is? 10. Do they show you what they can do with

the horse both on the ground as well as in the saddle? 11. Has he been rode outside in the bush, hills, creeks, rivers, and mud? 12. Does the horse appear to be happy and willing or barely hanging in, resentful and/or mistrusting? 13. Is he free moving and athletic or stiff and sore moving? 14. What kind of a foot does the horse have? Does it have a foot that will carry its weight with a good thick wall? 15. Check the horse’s teeth. I had a friend that bought a great looking horse that passed all the above criteria but the horse was missing its front teeth. 16. Is the horse bred to ride or pull, run or goslow? Do your homework and learn what the different breeds of horses were bred to do. Don’t let someone tell you that a horse that has been bred for a certain job is suddenly going to be able to do something completely different. If they are bred to pull, for example, don’t think that they are going to be great riding horses and that you are going to be winning the reining class. Don’t fall into the “Flavor of the Month Club”; know the breed and what it was meant and bred to do. Generally speaking if the horse is cheap, there is usually a reason. On the other hand, if you fall into the Flavor of the Month Club, you might pay an extremely high price for a rusted out station wagon that when you step on it, it backfires, stutters and stalls leaving you in the middle of the intersection. When with a little research you could have bought a shiny new Ferrari or Cadillac for half the price and actually got a horse that is capable and has the capacity to ride at any level you are capable of or become capable of in the future. If you need a one-ton Dually, don’t buy a scooter and try to hook your horse trailer to it (figuratively speaking!) If you buy a horse that athletically is at or below your present abilities you have nowhere to go with that horse. If you want to improve as a rider it may be very difficult if you choose the

wrong breed for the things you hope to do. If all these criteria check out and you are thrilled and amazed at all you have just witnessed then it might be time to try the horse yourself to see how he feels to you. Then there is the conformation aspect, and age of the horse. Conformation is an essay in itself. It can take years and real effort to be able to develop an eye for good conformation and is sometimes much easier if you know someone who is knowledgeable in this area to give you their opinion. Getting help from a professional farrier that knows what a good foot might be is also an idea worth considering. If all these areas check out maybe it is time for you to try the horse out yourself. Hopefully you have noticed that I haven’t mentioned the colour of the horse or how much hair they have. Hair has no bearing on safety, trainability, athleticism and what your riding experience will be. We are very visual beings and the less knowledgeable buyer might get caught buying hair. Leaving the hair out of it, the price of the horse can’t be considered until all these other areas are looked at. Only then can you get an idea what the true value of each horse you look at should be. Watch out for that Flavour of the Month Club, do your homework, know the breeds and what they are meant to do. Ask someone you respect that has rode many breeds and use their knowledge and advice. The horsemen I know would happily share what they have learnt over the years with you good and bad, and second hand gold is as good as new. Make a logical choice when buying a horse, not an emotional one, so you can ride for many years and have fun doing it.

First aid and the farm. Safety! “Farms are often in remote areas where help for a medical emergency can seem like an eternity,” says Kenda Lubeck, farm safety coordinator with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “Many times a quick response is critical. If you know first aid, you could greatly improve an injured person’s chance of survival.” She recommends taking a first aid course or going one-step further and organizing a course for a group of your family members or coworkers. “Get information on first aid courses in your area that are specifically farm-related. You will be trained to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to deal with wounds, burns, fractures and shock.” Minimum basics for first aid on the farm include: getting first aid training and updating when needed placing well-labeled first aid kits in farm buildings and machinery listing emergency numbers at each phone or in each worker’s mobile, along with legal land locations or rural addresses to give to the emergency operator if possible, having a mobile phone when working in the fields staying calm in an emergency, administering first and then seeking proper medical attention

as necessary “Detailed and current information is readily available on the internet,” she adds. “Many websites list several types of first aid kits. They take into account the number of workers and distance from the main work site along with other helpful information to help you get prepared for your specific operation.” She adds that every farm family should have several first aid kits. “By having a complete first aid kit in each busy work area, such as in the tractor, shop or kitchen, you can be prepared to save a limb or even a life should an incident occur.” “Putting together your farm first aid kit begins by looking around your home. Use your imagination. Make dressings and bandages from old sheets, and hockey tape can be substituted for adhesive tape. Items can be stored in a protective container such as a clean toolbox or a small picnic cooler that latches shut. Start your search for these items today.” Contact To connect with the Alberta Farm Safety Program: Hours: 8 am to 5 pm (open Monday to Friday, closed statutory holidays) Toll free: 310-FARM (3276) Email: farm.safety@gov.ab.ca

Atopic Dermatitis in dogs A common presenting complaint we see in Veterinary medicine is itchy animals. There are many reasons for pets to itch: parasites, allergy to flea bites, environmental allergies, and food allergies. Atopic dermatitis/Atopy is also known as allergic dermatitis due to various allergens. Majority of allergies seen are flea bite allergy, where the dog’s immune system reacts to the flea’s saliva, environmental allergies, chemical irritants or food allergies. Frequently people blame their dog’s itchiness on food as it is a very popular trend, but food allergies make up about 10% of allergy cases and will generally present as gastrointestinal signs, therefore a proper diagnostic work up is required to rule out the other causes. What is atopy/environmental allergies in pets? Majority of canine allergies are due to environmental allergens that they encounter daily. In humans, we all know that after inhaling airborne particles such as pollens, dust, molds, etc. we soon begin to sneeze and sniff. In our pets, it was believed that the airborne allergens were inhaled and then they become itchy. Recent studies show that the allergens do come from the air, but the reaction of itchy skin is not due to inhaling the particles. Airborne allergens gain entry into the skin through a defective skin barrier and from there the proteins of the allergens (pollens, dust, etc) are presented to the animal’s immune system where it leads to an inflammatory response. Cells of inflammation then migrate back to the

skin and soon the itching and scratching begins. Who gets Atopic Dermatitis? Allergies usually develop in breeds that are genetically programmed to do so. Breeds including; Boxer’s. Pugs, Shih Tzu’s, Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Shar Pei, Dalmatians, Cairn terrier, Lhasa Apso, and West Highland white terriers. Commonly, with atopy, the onset of signs of itching may occur between the ages of 1-3 years old who spend majority of their time indoors. In areas where climates are not ambiguous, we tend to see itching become seasonal. We may see a lot of secondary infections occur due to the physical trauma to the skin from scratching such as yeast infections or secondary bacterial infections.

What are the common environmental allergens in dogs? Mold spores inside/outside (#1 allergen) Pollen Dust mites

Animal dander Grass Common areas affected on the dog’s body (picture): Ears (80% of cases have inflamed ears) Groin Between the toes Armpits Belly Around anus How can we diagnose an environmental allergy? Unlike other diseases where a test can be performed, atopic dermatitis is a clinical diagnosis, meaning the diagnosis is based on symptoms and ruling out the other causes (parasites, fleas, food allergy). Intradermal allergy testing can be done at a veterinary center that offers it. It does not establish a diagnosis, but can help with identifying what type of allergen is causing the reaction. How do I manage a dog with environmental Atopic Dermatitis? A big factor in managing environmental allergies is to control the itch and to manage the environment: Managing the environment: Remove dog from room when vacuuming Change your furnace filter regularly; especially in fall before the heat goes back on Wiping your dog off when coming inside to physically remove pollens, weeds, grass, etc. Using air conditioner in the summer opposed to open windows Controlling the itch: Medications: talk to your vet about the various anti-itch medications Omega 3’s are a great supplement for the skin/coat health Hypoallergenic or medicated shampoo Food trial with hypoallergenic food only to rule out food allergy

New barley and triticale varieties

Agriculture and Forestry’s Field Crop Development Centre has 6 new barley and triticale varieties available to be licensed this spring. The 6 new varieties include: reduced awn winter triticale - WT0006 2 malting barleys - TR14617 and TR17635 nitrogen efficient feed and forage 6-row barley - SR18524 2-row feed and forage barley - TR18647 general purpose barley - TR18645 “A nitrogen (N) efficient variety takes up more N from the soil or utilizes N more efficiently to maximize yield,” says Yadeta Kabeta, research scientist at the Field Crop Development Centre (FCDC). “This can mean lower input costs, more stable yield and less N lost to the environment. Our new variety SR18524 has 6 to 10% more N use efficiency than check varieties.” Agronomically, this line is a smooth awned semi-dwarf type, with 3% higher grain and forage yields than the available semi-dwarf 6-row vari-

eties Amisk and Vivar. The two 2-row feed and forage varieties to be released this spring, TR18645 and TR18647, were the 2 highest yielding lines in the 2-row pre-registration Cooperative tests in the 2018 drought year. TR18647 was bred specifically for feed and has superior forage production and quality. Over the 2 years of testing in the Cooperative trials, TR18645 and TR18647 had about 4% and 6% higher grain yield than CDC Austenson. Also available is the only non-glycosidic nitrile (non-GN) malting barley in Canada. “GN is a precursor to ethyl carbamate, a carcinogen, which can concentrate during distillation to undesirable levels,” explains Pat Juskiw, plant breeder at the FCDC. “This isn’t an issue for non-GN barley, like TR14617”. FCDC is accepting applications for marketing rights until March 27, 2020. Visit apply for a seed variety licence for more information and to apply for a licence.

The Northern Horizon, March 20, 2020

Grain price slump attracts bargain-hunting Reuters reports the collapse in grain prices caused by concern about the global impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus has generated some bargain-buying by importing countries, traders said on Tuesday. But they said the extent was still limited and there were no signs importers were making especially large purchases to expand stocks. “We are seeing bargain buying this week by countries which need grains and can make big savings by moving into the market,” one Euro-

pean trader said. “But inventories are not being expanded.” The brisk international grain purchase tender market on Tuesday included Tunisia buying wheat and durum, South Korean buyers NOFI and FLC both purchased corn and Algeria bought barley. Jordan sought wheat but failed to buy, while Egypt also issued a new tender for soyoil and sunflower oil. South Korea’s NOFI was also in negotiations about buying soymeal.

FALHER’S ROGER DICKNER CALLS IT A CAREER AFTER 39 YEARS AT ROSSAG/MARTIN DEERLINE Submitted by Val Towpich

Roger Dickner has always been innovative, a hard worker and loyal. As we look back on his achievements and his life in general we can see he has had a very successful career and family life.

Secretary. There were 2 mechanics, Gordon Dalgetty and Claude Turcotte. Roger was able to complete his parts man training by the beginning of 1983 and became a Journeyman Partsman at this time.

He graduated from G.P. Vanier School in Donnelly in 1978 and went on to take Business Admin at Grande Prairie College from which he graduated in 1979. This was an exciting year for Roger as he started a job as Service Manager for Lambert Motors (Ford Dealer) in Falher on November 1st and married his high school sweetheart, Paulette Roy on November 17th.

Over the next two years Roger & Paulette added two sons to their family. In the spring of 1985 Roger was awarded a trip to Las Vegas. This was from John Deere for having top sales in parts. In 1986 Daniel Fontaine was hired on to the parts department. Roger went on his first tour of the parts warehouse for John Deere in Moline Illinois. In 1987 Roger became a Salesman for Dave Ross Equipment and he thought this might be the career for him ……..

Roger’s career was just starting to take off as he continued to look for his niche in the workforce. He went to work for Chalifoux Motors GMC and Versatile Dealer in Falher and went on to take his first year Apprentice Partsman at Fairview College in the autumn of 1980. In the spring of 1981 he was hired by Dave Ross Equipment as the Parts Manager. This was the beginning of Roger becoming a John Deere man. There was a staff of 3 in the front which included Roland Turcotte as Sales manager, Roger as Parts Manager and Paulette Dickner as the

In 1988 Dave Ross Equipment added a new 8400 sq ft building to the existing one in Falher. In 1990 Roger once again proved he was destined for big things in the John Deere world. He received an award for Grand Master Top Combine sales in Western Canada. January of 1991 saw Roger leaving DRE to pursue a business with members of his family. This endeavor did not last long as in June of 1992 he came back to DRE as a Salesman. When Dave Ross passed away

in 1999 the business saw many changes not the least of which was that Al Ross, who was Dave Ross’ son became partners with his sons Brad & Warren, Roger Dickner, Daniel Fontaine and newcomer to the parts department Dennis Brochu. In March of 2003 Ross Ag held a grand opening for the new service shop which also brought the total building size to 26,000 sq ft…… this event was also the 60th anniversary for the business. In May of 2013 Ross Ag was sold to Martin Deerline and Roger, Daniel and Dennis were no longer partners in the business but stayed on as department managers. Over the years Roger has received many accolades for his position in the sales department. His two sons Robert & Marc have also worked at the business for summer jobs. Roger & Paulette have 5 grandchildren and have been enjoying them immensely. In February of 2018 Roger gave his notice to Martin Deerline that he would be retiring in March of 2020 when he turned 60 years old. Martin Deerline in Falher will not be quite the same without Roger in the sales department.

30 The Northern Horizon, March 20, 2020

COVID-19 impacts economy and agri-food markets Governments around the world are taking steps to control the speed at which the virus spreads, but the economic impacts are only starting to materialize. Proper risk management strategies start with understanding these economic trends: Weaker economic growth Necessary restrictions on the movement of people and workplace policies are disrupting supply chains. An economic slowdown is inevitable, but questions remain around its magnitude and length. The U.S. Federal Reserve brought its policy rate close to zero. The Bank of Canada has taken

steps to mitigate the risk of a major slowdown. It lowered its overnight rate and took steps to ensure financial markets have liquidity. The government of Canada also announced a series of measures to support business financing and is working towards other stimulus measures. Weaker Canadian dollar Tumbling oil prices and overall economic uncertainty are weakening the loonie. Oil is pressured on two fronts: travel bans cutting the demand outlook for fuel, and oil-producing countries fighting a price war. Investors are also turning toward the greenback as a safe haven currency given the uncer-

tainty. The Canadian dollar was at C$0.76 per U.S. dollar at the end of February and closed slightly over C$0.71 on March 16th. Downward pressures on commodity prices The weaker loonie partially offsets the generalized decline in commodity prices since the beginning of the year. Cattle and hog prices are down 20% and are below the levels observed when China stopped importing beef and pork in September. Canola, soybeans and wheat are down around 8%. Corn prices are down 2%. We project tighter profit margins in 2020, given the signals sent by futures markets. Returns for some crops are now projected under break-even levels. Livestock profitability is also pressured even if the gap between the supply and demand of animal proteins due to ASF supports margins. However, there’s a real risk that margins will decline if demand weakens, considering the large meat supplies expected to be available in North America. Takeaways Agriculture and food are resilient economic sectors. After all, people still need to eat. But food purchasing patterns at home and abroad will be influenced by economic fluctuations. Demand in emerging markets may weaken, given foreign consumers’ food demand is sensitive to income. Domestic spending can shift from indulgencetype food to more basic food staples, from food away-from-home to at-home prepared foods, for example. While an economic slowdown is inevitable, the economy will rebound. Sound cash flow management and HR planning are useful strategies to be ready for the coming economic disruptions.

34 The Northern Horizon, March 20, 2020

2020 machinery sales are down Real Agriculture reports that machinery sales for 2020 have started off on a much weaker tone than 2019, according to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers. The current agricultural profitability outlook is bleak due to market access concerns, a bearish tone to commodities in the face of trade disruption, and rising protectionism elsewhere in the world.

Without extra disposable income farmers have clearly pulled back on machinery purchases in January and again in February. “Not one category is in positive territory for year-to-date sales at the end of February 2020. For tractors, 2WDs are down 10.7%, 4WD tractors are down 52.2%, and combines are down 36% year-to-date compared to the same period in 2019.”

Collie Corner By Carol Nelson

Dogs can contribute to personal safety There seems to be a trend in the modern generation of ranching where cattle and handlers do not interact the same as they did in the past. I believe one of the influencing factors to this scenario is that many people now have off farm jobs that prevent them from spending a lot of time with their stock. In days past the rancher spent a good part of the day feeding and working around the stock during each day so he would stop and visit or scratch a cow as he went by. This daily interaction made the cows quiet and they learned to look forward to human contact. Now days cattle are often fed for a few days at a time and just checked daily with an eye towards the time clock. This does not apply to everyone but is getting quite common with peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedules and work load, so the cattle do not necessarily look toward humans with quite the

same enthusiasm or trust as in the past. Cattle that are not handled often may initially desire a larger flight zone distance from people when they are being worked or moved. This is where the dogs can be a tremendous help as the handler can keep a good distance back from the stock while still controlling their direction with the dog. A dog can often quietly and slowly work cows into a smaller area much better than a person if the cows are a bit suspicious or fearful, as the cow does not get the same trapped feeling from the dog as they do from a person. A cow that is a bit apprehensive of people may feel less threatened if the person keeps a good distance away and the dog is the one to get in closer and direct her movements. If the cow is extremely suspicious the person can stay outside

of the pen or behind a gate so they are not as visible and use the dog to slowly ease the cow in the direction she needs to travel. If the cow is a bit raunchy a dog is far more agile on its feet than most humans and can duck underneath corrals or get out of the way quicker. This keeps the handler away from the cow who may acquire dishonorable intentions toward the person! A dog should not be put into a dan-

gerous position either but his safety zone and agile ability to move is different from a human. One is always hearing about accidents with livestock that often have debilitating or fatal results. The safer a person can set up circumstances to prevent wrecks the better. Using dogs in a constructive manner can increase the working safety for people around livestock.

Calgary Stampede postpones annual chuckwagon canvas auction over COVID-19 health and safety of guests, volunteers and employees from the threat of the novel coronavirus. “We are in very close contact with Alberta Health Services and CEMA and will do our part,” said Stampede CEO Warren Connell in a statement. “We know our community is strong, resilient and pulls together in times such as these. The Stampede is extremely grateful for the ongoing support and understanding of our community.” The auction is considered a bellwether for the health of the Calgary-based oil and gas industry, as many of the sponsors who pay to have their company names on the horse-drawn wagons in the July races are energy industry players. Sponsorship bids for the 36 rigs competing last year totalled $3.29 million. The record was set in

2012, with just over $4 million pledged. About 80 per cent of the tarp auction proceeds go to the driver; the rest is used for prize money, safety and other chuckwagon initiatives. The auction has not been rescheduled, as the situation around COVID-19 continues to change. The Stampede also cancelled its annual Aggie Days, which teaches students about agriculture and food production. Roughly 8,000 students and teachers were scheduled to visit the event April 1-5. The event will not be rescheduled this year. Planning continues for the Stampede this year, but officials say they will react and adapt the event in co-ordination with the Calgary Emergency Management Agency.

These are the perks of riding with CMTA Road Team This year we have will polls and surveys for you to take and when you take them, we will have some sort of reward or perk that your name will go in a draw for. It might be an extra ballot for a chance to win one of the Ultimate Motorcycle Vacation Packages that we are giving away, it could be a gas card or a meal, you just never know! These will be short 1 - 3 question polls and surveys to help us target in on various sectors of the travel and tourism industry and how they interact with riders. Our aim will be to take this information, create a training course/seminar, have you good folks help us make sure that we help the travel industry better understand the needs of we riders. We will also have small polls from our presenting sponsor Braithwaite Boyle White Knights Injury Law Team. Ken Braithwaite has been a crash victim. He understands all too well the pain, frustration and challenges of being injured in a crash. He wants to ensure that he and his team provide you with everything you need in the event of a crash. Again prizes will be on the line! We also have our wonderful call centre - The Rider Hotline presented by Intercon Messaging

in Drayton Valley Alberta. Intercon Messaging not only offers you a way to connect to members of the Rider Friendly Support Network, but they can also offer you the NEVER RIDE ALONE PROGRAM. This program is based on the never work alone program and very simply you call the hotline and ask to use the Never Ride Alone Program. They ask for your membership number, the make, model and colour of your bike, and the route you are travelling. They ask about what you know of the road conditions, construction, weather and the line. Then you decide where you are stopping for fuel. When you get there, you dial the toll-free number and let them know you arrived. If you are continuing on your way, call them back and let them know the next fuel stop. If for any reason (belt, chain, tires, engine issues, wildlife etc.) you don’t arrive at the prescribed time, they will wait a certain amount of time (agreed upon previously) and then they will attempt to call you at the numbers you have left them. If they still can’t raise you, they will contact 911 and someone will be on their way to find you from your last fuel stop. It’s a FREE service offered to CMTA Road Team members and members of the Rider Friendly Support Network.

You can use this service every day of your trip if you wish. I know I use it a lot when I am in the mountains and places I know cell service is bad. My husband has MS and can’t take calls at work. It’s nice for him, as he knows I always have an angel for Intercon Messaging, riding with me. Peace of mind for him, and it allows me to really enjoy my ride. Our community at motorcycletourism.ca is now ready for our members to engage in. It comes complete with groups, personal walls and news streams, and it will be here that we ask for your assistance and support. It is here that we will be announcing our monthly prizes and the locations that the CMTA Road Team membership booth will be at. Want an extra ballot to win the Ultimate Motorcycle Vacation Packages???? Come to one of the 17 events we will be at in 2020 and show us your card for your chance to win an extra ballot! Become a member at www.motorcycletourism.ca where riding is very rewarding!

2020 Blue Book now available One of the most widely requested publications from Alberta Agriculture and Forestry is the Crop Protection publication, also known as the “Blue Book” in industry circles. “An important part of the annual update includes newly registered pesticide products,” says Mark Cutts, co-editor of Crop Protection 2020 and crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. Cutts says that this year’s edition includes new additions to the four main pesticide types - herbicides, insecticides, seed treatments and foliar fungicides. “As well as new products, the Blue Book updates previously registered products,” adds Cutts. ”Significant changes in some products, crops covered and usage instructions give producers more options than ever.” When using pesticides, it is important

to be aware of pesticide resistance. It is recommended that pesticide products be selected based on chemical group and active ingredient. All pesticide products presented in the Blue Book have their chemical group and active ingredient listed. Harry Brook, co-editor of the Blue Book and crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre, adds that the publication also includes a table that lists herbicides by their mode of action. “This is an excellent resource to use to ensure you are varying the modes of action and, hopefully, delaying the presence of herbicide resistance on your farm,” Brook notes. “It links to the herbicide group numbers listed in the title bars of every pesticide. There is also a current list of the weed species where resistance has been found.”

HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON.

Newspaper ads, both print and online, play a key role in helping people make their banking and investment decisions. Newspapers and their sites outperform all other media in

engaging Canadians, including high-income Canadians, boomers, moms and even young adults. All of which makes advertising in newspapers a very smart move.

Why change your crop rotation

excellent break for crop diseases and insect pests. A varied crop rotation can help diversify a farm operation, reducing financial risk. It also spreads out machinery use, making them more efficient.” Moisture use efficiency also improves with a varied crop rotation, and he notes that canola, wheat, and peas all root to different depths and extract moisture and nutrients from different parts of the soil. “A planned crop rotation can utilize soil moisture more efficiently. Permanent forages in rotation can also address soil problem such as soil salinity or acidity. Seeded in a field for 3 to 5 years, they are an excellent break from annual crops and add to the soil organic matter, which is your soil nutrient bank account. They can even reclaim some soils from salinity over time.” “A diverse crop rotation also naturally varies the pesticides used and reduces the chance of resistance developing to pest control products,” he adds. “Conversely, a tight rotation can quickly develop weed, insect or disease problems, requiring greater expense to control the issue. In the case of clubroot of canola, the only answer is

resistant varieties. Reliance on that genetic resistance has already caused it to break down.” UNRESERVED AUCTION

“A good crop rotation is one with an adequate variety of crops grown so that any one type of crop is grown only once every 3 or 4 years,” explains Harry Brook, crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “A rotation like this can reduce pest costs, prolong the usefulness of pest control products and improve the bottom line. Limiting or shortening the rotation may provide short-term financial benefits but in the long-term, could severely limit future cropping options.” One example that he uses is clubroot. “It converts the canola root into a massive spore factory. It is spread through infected soils, but each year we see it found in more Alberta fields. Once you have clubroot, it is there for the long haul. These soil borne spores can remain viable in the soil for up to 20 years. If you have it, many counties will require the land be put on a 4 or 5 year canola-free crop rotation. Under short crop rotations - wheat then canola, for example - create ideal conditions to multiply spores and spread the disease.” A variety of crop types can add to the health of the soil. He adds that pulses in a rotation improves soil health and reduces fertilizer costs. “Peas, lentils and faba beans all capture nitrogen from the air and encourage beneficial bacteria and fungi that can benefit following crops. There is a nitrogen benefit left in the soil that extends up to 3 years after the pulse crop.” Permanent forages in the crop rotation provide even more benefits, reducing the weed seeds present in the soil by depleting the weed seed bank. “They also increase organic matter and are an

Government of Canada research investment to help manage costly potato disease The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food spoke to growers from across the country at the Canadian Horticultural Council AGM today in Ottawa and announced a federal investment of over $2.3 million to support the Canadian Horticultural Council’s research into managing the Potato Early Dying (PED) disease. The horticulture sector contributed an additional $991,918 towards this research, for a total investment of over $3.3 million. The purpose of the project is to provide potato growers with the knowledge, tools and technologies they need to manage Potato Early Dying, which results in premature aging, limiting potato yield by as much as 50 per cent. As part of the project, the Canadian Horticulture Council will survey potato fields to determine the levels of PED and evaluate the control of PED through growers’ cropping systems, best management practices and control products. With this new funding, the federal government has invested a total of $13.8 million in Canada’s

horticulture research cluster, which is giving farmers cutting-edge technologies and practices for better pest management, better handling of produce, and improved soil health. The research cluster is also developing new sustainable practices to reduce the environmental footprint as well as new crop varieties to keep our growers competitive. In her speech, Minister Bibeau expanded on her Government’s plan to support growers and help them grow their businesses. Beyond the significant investments into research and science, this includes helping farmers get the qualified workers they need in a more timely way. It also includes working with the provinces and territories to improve our business risk management programs, and helping producers take full advantage of all the market opportunities that have resulted from the Government’s strong agenda for trade. “Canadian horticulture growers face a competitive marketplace and increasing environmental changes. Our Government believes in the strong role of science, and we are investing in cutting-edge tools and practices our growers need to develop sustainably. We are excited to team up with the Horticulture Council on this project which will help growers avoid the unwelcome burdens which come from this costly disease,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “CHC is thrilled about this additional funding, which reinforces our valued partnership with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada on its AgriScience Cluster Program, which now has a total value of over $20 million dollars. Today’s announcement of funding for the Canadian Potato Early Dying Network project will act as an important support for the Canadian potato industry. Altogether, AAFC’s Cluster program is helping to ensure Canadian farmers can continue to grow fruits and vegetables of the highest quality, while supporting the sector’s competitiveness in an ever-changing world,” added Brian Gilroy, President Canadian Horticultural Council

Elm pruning ban starts April 1 To help keep Alberta Dutch elm disease (DED) free, the Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease (STOPDED) encourages everyone to pay attention to the provincial elm pruning ban between April 1 and September 30, 2020. To help eliminate beetle habitat, it is important to properly prune all dead wood out of your elms and dispose of all pruned elm wood and elm firewood by burning, burying or chipping by March 31. Stored elm wood can harbour the elm bark beetles that can carry DED. “Elm bark beetles are responsible for spreading the deadly DED fungus. They feed on healthy elms and breed in dead and dying elm trees,” says Janet Feddes-Calpas, STOPDED executive director. “If elm trees are pruned during the pruning ban period, beetles that are active at this time can be attracted to the scent of

the fresh wound and possibly infect an otherwise healthy elm with DED. Once an elm tree is infected with DED, it will die within that year.” Having your tree pruned properly is important. Many trees are killed or ruined annually from improper pruning. Pruning like any other skill requires knowledge and should be done by a professional certified arborist who can determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance, and safety of your trees. Topping or removing an excessive amount of live wood is not recommended on any variety of trees and will weaken the tree’s structure For more information, call the STOPDED hotline at 1-877-837-ELMS

Avoid farm work-related fatigue this spring The nature of much of today’s precision farm work requires a high degree of alertness and the ability to react quickly in certain circumstances. With spring work and the go-time it brings, often farmers push themselves to get the maximum out of a day’s work.

Farm workers pushing their capabilities to the limits to increase production run the risk of serious injury due to fatigue. Turns out, fatigue is a major factor in causing farm-related injuries. “Too many farmers push themselves, especially during the really

all about equipment and guards,” she adds. “But, the most important safety tool a person can have is their attitude and subsequent decisions. That could mean taking a 15 minute break and stretch to refocus or having a drink of water and a quick bite to eat.” Lubeck offers the following suggestions to ward off fatigue: Get adequate sleep. Park your worries at the bedroom door and regularly get a good night’s rest. Eat nourishing food to keep your mind and body sharp. Stay hydrated with plenty of water. Incorporate some healthy activity in your day’s work. If you find yourself doing one continuous job for hours on end, be sure to stop periodically and go for a walk to stretch out your muscles.

Eliminate slips, trips and falls on the farm “In Canada, more than 42,000 workers are injured annually due to incidents of falling,” explains Kenda Lubeck, farm safety coordinator with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “Statistics show that slips and trips cause the majority of falls, and the rest are falls from a height.” She adds that injuries from slips, trips and falls on a farm are preventable, as long as the hazards that cause them are removed and workers take the time to do their job safely. Slips Slips happen where there is too little friction or traction between the footwear and the walking surface. Common causes of slips are wet or oily surfaces, weather hazards, loose or unanchored rugs or mats and

flooring or other surfaces that do not have the same degree of traction in all areas. Trips Trips occur when a worker’s foot collides with an object, causing a loss of balance and followed by a fall. Common causes of tripping are poor vision - an obstructed view or poor lighting - clutter, uneven surfaces and ropes or hoses or cables lying uncovered and unsecured. Another common cause of trips may be worker fatigue or prior injury leading to restricted and tight muscles. “Both slips and trips result from an unintended or unexpected change in the contact between the foot and the ground,” says Lubeck. “It is important to keep work areas clutter-free and to keep items in a

consistent location to prevent unfamiliarity. Select proper footwear with adequate tread and maintain an appropriate pace when walking.” She notes that good housekeeping is the first and most important step when preventing falls due to slips and trips. Some points to consider are: Clean all indoor spills immediately. When indoor footing is slippery, be sure to mark the area. Mark all slick surfaces outside. When possible, move to higher ground to work in a dry area. If the footing is frozen or icy, use a de-icing product such as salt to improve traction. Remove obstacles from walkways and always keep work areas free of clutter. Secure - by nailing, tacking, taping, etc. - mats, rugs, floorboards and other work surfaces that do not lay flat. Cover and secure cables, ropes and hoses that are being used for any length of time. Ensure proper lighting in work areas. This includes replacing burned

out light bulbs and repairing faulty switches. Maintain all indoor flooring and highlight any changes in elevation, such as steps or landings. When working from heights, use sturdy scaffolding with guardrails and properly fitted fall arrest equipment to protect workers from serious injury or death. Lubeck says to choose the proper footwear for the job. “Since there is no footwear with anti-slip properties for every condition, research what manufacturers have to offer. Properly fitting footwear increases comfort and prevents fatigue, which in turn, improves safety for the worker.” Finally, workers should adjust their pace, stride for the footing conditions and take into consideration any personal factors such as stress or fatigue. “Slips and trips are quite personal incidents,” she adds. “However, they can happen to anyone and are easily preventable. Be sure to identify potential hazards and take action to eliminate them.”

Annual forages for grazing, silage or greenfeed “By seeding annual pastures, producers can give stressed perennial pastures a rest,” explains Karin Lindquist, forage and beef specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “If those pastures are rested early in the spring and following rain, they can produce good amounts of growth later in the summer. However, if used early in the spring, those stressed pastures will be a huge disappointment this grazing year.” Annual forages can also be used for high quality silage or greenfeed to add to next winter’s feed supply. She says that seeding annuals needs to be done as early as possible if the goal is to graze the field. They need about 6 weeks to grow before they are ready to graze. “We advise producers to hold off grazing annual cereals until the seed rows have filled in to ensure the plants are well established. Barley or oats will give the fastest growth and the earliest grazing readiness. Winter cereals are slower to establish for grazing, but they have the benefit of growing more uniformly all summer and fall.” She adds that winter cereals may even be used next spring in some areas, depending on grazing management and over-wintering conditions. “You can add to this mix or replace the winter cereal with some

of the other annuals offered - forage rape, annual legumes, warm-season grasses, turnips and radishes for later or even fall-winter season use for silage or grazing in dry conditions.” “Seeding a mixture of spring and winter cereals may work the best as they are often easy to find,” she explains. “A properly balanced seeding mixture of spring and winter cereals for grazing can increase dry matter yield. It’s the same case with other annuals in place of winter cereals.” With each year’s growing conditions varying from the last, having a diverse forage mix ensures a more stable yield, but only if the forage mix is properly balanced to grow what’s desired. Lindquist says that most forage seed companies now carry these diverse annuals but booking early is the key to getting what will work best for your particular goals. “Talk to them and ask for information so you can make the correct mix decisions for your purposes.” If a producer is seeding a springwinter cereal mixture for grazing, she recommends that the seeding rate is about 150% of a normal stand. “In a 1:1 spring-winter cereal mix, seed three-quarters normal seeding rate of the spring cereal and

three-quarters normal seeding rate of the winter cereal. Alter the mix accordingly to promote earlier or later forage growth. The same principle would follow with the diverse annuals or cocktail mixes.” She says to keep the brassicas low enough that nitrate issues or too-high sulphur levels are not an issue. Italian ryegrass needs more moisture than winter cereals, so it will not work as well in drier areas. Consider soil test results, moisture potential and projected yields when planning fertilizer application. Fertilizing after each grazing will increase yield. Grazing rotationally allows rest and recovery time for the plants, which will lead to higher yields in annual pastures. Lindquist mentions that it is important to supplement livestock with a high calcium mineral that contains magnesium when grazing cereals, especially as the pasture matures. “Magnesium is not highly palatable, so its consumption needs to be carefully monitored. We suggest starting the animals on the mineral at least 1 week before going out to graze. That way, the animals have adequate levels of magnesium in their system to prevent tetany, which can be triggered by the lush vegetative growth.” “Calcium deficiency can be an is-

sue with cattle herds grazing cereal forages and when grain is fed,” she explains. “The brassicas and annual legumes address the need for a high quality forage that has higher calcium levels. Cereal feedstuffs tend to be higher in phosphorus, so the calcium-phosphorus ratio is thrown out of balance. Calcium and magnesium supplementation is crucial.” She adds that if a cow herd only eats a cereal-based forage diet during summer or winter-feeding, they will need a balanced mineral supplementation for rebreeding and to prevent grass or winter tetany. “A balanced trace mineral supplementation is important if brassicas are being fed to offset potential high sulphur levels.”

Spring termination of hay land

“Traditionally, forage stands have been terminated in the fall by using 1 of 3 approaches - tillage only, herbicide application combined with tillage and herbicide application followed by direct seeding into sod,” says Mark Cutts, crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “The main advantage of fall termination is the ability to establish a good seedbed with tillage, or in the case of direct seeding, allowing the sod to decompose.” While spring termination of hay land is an option, producers should be aware of a number of factors that will affect its success. “One factor that must be managed properly is soil moisture,” he says. “In many areas of the province, conservation of spring moisture is essential for crop establishment.” Utilizing multiple tillage operations to prepare a seedbed will reduce available soil moisture. The preferred method of establishing annual crops in springterminated stands is a herbicide application followed by direct seeding into sod. Cutts says that producers also need to be aware that spring termination of hay land will delay the date of seeding. He adds that sufficient plant material must be present for herbicide applications to be effective. Grasses should be at the 3 to 4 leaf stage, and legumes need to be actively growing to allow sufficient herbicide uptake to occur. Delay seeding by 3 to 5 days after the herbicide application to allow for translocation of the herbicide. Compared to a fallterminated stand, this process

will result in seeding delays of 2 to 3 weeks. Control of the forage species in the hay stand is essential to reduce yield loss due to competition with the growing crop. A high rate of glyphosate, up to 720 g of active ingredient per acre, can be applied to the hay stand once sufficient growth is present. If regrowth of the forage species occurs after emergence of the annual crop, producers then need to assess the weed spectrum and determine if a suitable in-crop herbicide option exists. “Establishing good soil-toseed contact is critical to the success of the seeded crop,” he explains. “With sod seeding, the most consistent results have occurred with cereal crops compared to a smaller seeded crop, such as canola. The larger seed size associated with cereals allows seeds to be placed beneath the thatch layer into soil where good soil-to-seed contact occurs.” Cutts adds that evaluating the fertility of the soil is important, as nutrient levels are commonly deficient on older hay stands and will need to be addressed when seeding an annual crop. He recommends producers collect a soil sample to properly evaluate fertility requirements. “Seeding annual crops into spring terminated hay land poses a number of challenges and is a riskier option as compared to seeding into fall terminated hay stands,” he says. “To manage these risks, producers need to recognize these challenges and adopt the appropriate crop management techniques.”
