Northern BC hunter produces wildlife documentary

A Prince George-based filmmaker has produced a short film called “Through Our Eyes,” which illustrates the lifestyle of a hunter, but through a wildlife documentary.

Tanner Dannish, who grew up in Dawson Creek but now lives in Prince George, always had the idea to show the nature and beauty of how a hunter tracks on the landscape through a documentary style-film.

He had a limited entry tag to go caribou hunting in northern B.C. and took the opportunity to finally make the film.

“I thought it was a good opportunity to highlight the magnificent of that area in and the caribou that really need a lot of effort to help recover.”

The nearly 30-minute film follows Dannish and his friend Jeff Augustino as they traverse the landscape near Atlin, B.C.

Dannish funded the film through his handmade sporting goods company called Frontiersman Gear, with the support of a conservation organization called Blood Origins and the Wild Sheep Society of B.C.

“As hunters we are conservationists first,” said Dannish.

“We as hunters, we use a resource which is this land and the waters on it, and because of that we want to conserve it.”

Dannish said the film attempts to show the way of life as hunters, interactions with animals, and the beauty of nature and how conservation and hunting can work together.

“We all have to work together to make sure that this planet is even around in the next 50 to 100 years, and that there’s animals on it and a healthy place for us to live.”

Dannish said he hopes the film can provide some education and insight into hunting.

“Growing up in Dawson, and even a lot of the smaller communities, hunting is pretty commonplace. If you don’t hunt, you know somebody that does,” said Dannish.

“But the adventure of hunting is a weird concept for somebody that has grown up in an urban landscape or a city.”

Dannish said he was pleasantly surprised by the positive feedback from the film.

“My biggest thing is that we all need to work together for a bigger cause.”

2023 Crop Reporting program

NEvery year from May until the end of harvest (October or November), Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation (AGI) in partnership with Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) and the Alberta Agricultural Fieldmen, delivers the Alberta Crop Reporting program.

“The Alberta Crop Report captures timely information related to crop production in Alberta during the current crop season,” says Brooklyn Wong, crop statistician with AGI. “Data collected through the surveys, along with the information from other sources are

used to compile the weekly crop reports at both provincial and regional levels.”

Information is gathered through weekly surveys which collect data on moisture, crop conditions, seeding and harvest progress, insect and disease outbreaks, yield potential and crop quality.

“Crop reports help producers make informed management decisions and are used by the Ministry, industry and other stakeholders for various purposes, including drought

monitoring and forecasting of production insurance payments,” explains Wong.

Both AFSC and AGI will be taking turns writing the Crop Reports. The first report for the 2023 growing season will be publicly released on May 5. Weekly reports will be published thereafter, until the end of the crop year. Reports for the months of July and August will be bi-weekly.

Farmer partners with scientists in breeding

The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (The Treaty) is the first binding international agreement that explicitly recognizes farmers’ rights. Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB) is the process by which farmers are routinely involved in a plant breeding program with opportunities to make decisions. There are many forms that farmers’ involvement in PPB can take place and some of which are

(1) Defining breeding goals and priorities

(2) Selecting or providing sources of germplasm

(3) Hosting trials ion their lands

(4) Selecting lines for further crossing

(5) Multiplying and commercializing the seeds of the selected lines

Participatory Variety Selection (PVS) is the process whereby farmers are involved in selecting lines that they judge to be most appropriate for their own uses from among a range of fixed (stable) lines that are being field tested. On the other hand, PPB involves a higher and more complex degree of involvement of farmers, as they are engaged in decision-making in earlier and more fundamental stages of the variety development chain. PPB therefore, has a higher empowerment effect than PVS (Whitcombe 2005). Participatory plant breeding, can therefore be considered as successful example of local technology innovation and adaptation by combining knowledge of traditional farmers and modern scientists. Previous research conducted at the University of Manitoba has demonstrated that performance of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in organic systems is improved if the plant breeding process occurs under actual organic field conditions.

Mackenzie Applied Research Association (MARA) collaborated with University of Manitoba, facilitated and funded by Organic Alberta, on a PPB program in evaluating field performance of farmer selected spring wheat and compare them with some registered varieties. The trial was conducted in year 2022 at the long-term organic site of MARA Research Farm in Fort Vermilion. The plot size was 9.6m2 in this replicated trial and seeded at 320 seeds/m2 using a 6 – row Fabro seeder to a depth of 3.8cm and 20cm apart on May 20th, 2022.

Data were collected throughout the season which included, average height, days to heading, days to maturity, protein content (%). Thousand kernel weight (TKW (g), test weight (kg/hL) and yield (Bu/ac).

Figure 2. Farmer selected wheat populations compared to the conventionally selected check varieties for (A) plat height, (B) days to maturity, (C) thousand kernel weight (TKW), (D) test weight and (E) yield. A p value of <0.05 indicates a significant difference between the farmerselected populations and conventionally selected check varieties.

As a group the farmer selected populations were taller than the conventionally selected check varieties, though the difference was insignificant (Fig. 2A). The average height of the farmer selected populations was 3 cm taller than the conventionally selected check varieties. There were no significant differences across treatments for days to maturity. As a group the farmer selected populations matured two days later than the conventionally selected check varieties and this difference was significant (p<0.05) (Fig. 2B).

There was no noticeable lodging in both farmers selected and conventionally selected check varieties. There were significant differences in thousand kernel weights across treatments (p<0.05) but there was no significant difference between the farmer selected populations and the conventionally selected checks (Fig. 2C). Test weight differences were not significant between farmer selected populations and conventionally selected check varieties, test weight of check varieties was marginally higher, though (Fig. 2D).

breeding crops

The yields were different between farmer selected varieties which ranged from 64.00 –to 91.13 (Bu/ac) (Fig. 3) but the differences were not significant (p>0.05). As a group the farmer selected populations yielded little higher than the conventionally selected check varieties by a margin of 3 Bu/ac but this difference was not significant (p>0.05) (Fig. 2E).

The results of this preliminary study shows that farmer selected populations are better adopted to organic crop production than conventionally selected varieties. As a group the farmer selected populations were taller than the conventionally selected check varieties and matured later. The characteristics of populations changed depending on the selection environment and the preferences of the person making selections, showing that a population can be tailored to the growing environment and needs of an individual farmer.

Heat Stroke is No Joke

BY: DR. JOANNA VARGA Dawson Creek Vet Clinic

With the record highs this summer, heat stoke is something to talk about. Heat stroke is known as overheating. This occurs when your pets core body temperature rises above normal. Normal body temperature in a dog ranges from 37.5 to 39.2 degrees Celsius. Normal body temperature in a cat 37.839.5 Celsius. Humans will normally sweat when hot, but animals compared to humans have fewer sweat glands. The majority of the sweat glands in a dog and cat are located in the paw pads. Sweating through the paw pads is actually a secondary method of selfcooling in dogs. Cats regularly sweat through their paws. Obese, flat-faced breeds, heart disease patients, and senior animals are at higher risk of heat stroke.

How do dogs primarily cool down?

The main mechanism a dog’s body naturally cools down is by panting. Panting allows for evaporation of heat (in the form of water) from the tongue, mouth, and upper respiratory tract. Panting is a very efficient way of cooling and takes up very little energy thanks to the elasticity of a dog’s lungs and airways. Another way dogs can lower their body temperature is through dilating their vessels (vasodilation) in order to bring blood flow to the surface of their skin. This method of cooling is not as efficient as panting and can indicate overheating is occurring.

What about flat faced breeds?

Flat faced breeds, known as Brachycephalic breeds such as pugs, French/English bull dogs, Shih Tzu, Boxers and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels tend to have smaller nares (nose holes), longer soft palates (obstructing airway), and smaller trachea sizes than other breeds. This makes it difficult for them to breathe normally or get adequate oxygen with each breath. With high temperatures outside, it can cause their upper respiratory tract to swell, thereby partially or completely closing the airway blocking their main mechanism of cooling.

What about cats?

Besides sweating through their paw pads, cats will combine a few techniques to dissipate body heat. Cats will stretch out their bodies, seek out shade, and drink cool water. Cats will lick/groom their coats more frequently in summer to cool down. When their saliva evaporates from their fur, it provides a cooling effect (similar to humans sweating). As a last resort, cats will pant. Excessive panting is not normal and may be a sign your cat is dangerously overheated.

Signs of heat stroke in your pets:

Dogs: the most telling sign is excessive panting with drooling and thirst. Other signs include, vomiting, fast heart rate, red colour of gums and tongue, bloody diarrhea, mental dullness, staggering or collapse.

Cats: Initial signs of heat stroke in cats include heavy panting, drooling and excessive grooming. Further signs

include redness of tongue, vomiting and staggering/ collapse.

Managing heat stroke

If your pet is suffering from heat stroke, call your veterinarian immediately. One thing that we may tell you before getting to us is to have you wet down your dog in cool water. Do not wrap your dog in a wet towel, this actually traps in body heat!! Once at the clinic, treatment is targeted at cooling down your animal, supporting their blood pressure with drugs and fluids, fluid volume necessitation, and monitoring blood changes. Cooling techniques done by your vet can include, cool intravenous (in the vein) fluids to help with dehydration and blood pressure, oxygen therapy, cool or cold-water baths, cold water enemas or even cool water safely injected into the abdomen in severe cases. If an animal’s body temperature is too high for extended periods of time, it can be very detrimental to their blood causing it to break up/destroy the red blood cells ultimately leading to death.

Tips on being safe or preventing heat stroke: In dogs, exercise can be done in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler, offering lots of water, shade or a pool to play in. Keeping them where there is air conditioning if helpful during the day. Avoiding hot pavement, hot cars and direct sunlight. In cats, it is important to keep their fur brushed to be free of mats and remove excess hair in the warmer months. Making sure there is plenty of water around and a space for them to find a cool, shady spot. Offering wet food or tuna juice to increase water intake, or even offer ice cubes for them to play with. Enjoy the summer and be safe out there!

In March we had a meeting and it went well. Everyone’s projects are doing very well, the leading is a slow process but everyone is having fun with it. Some have even started introducing their animal to the show stick.

Sadly the weather hasn’t been that great, a little cold and a little windy but that hasn’t stopped us from working with our animals. We are working very hard to get ready for the show.

We even have some adorable baby calves and one left to be born.

On April 14th the clover buds in the horse club learned helmet safety with a little help from the older members, they even decorated their own helmets, and they look really good guys! Keep up the good work.

This year Green Valley helped sell 50/50 at the spring rodeo in Dawson Creek, The selling went great and everyone had fun. We sold a lot of tickets and raised a lot of money, so thanks to all that helped. The Cloverbuds even

got to meet Miss Rodeo Canada Mackenzie Skeels. Our next meeting is May 10th. We will be weighing our animals and I am so excited to find out how much my own animal weighs. Thank you for taking the time to read my report and also thank you to our page sponsor. Until next time.

New program strengthens crop production, food security

A new program will revitalize hazelnut, grape, berry and treefruit production and increase the competitiveness and resiliency of B.C. farm businesses while supporting food security.

“The Perennial Crop Renewal Program is about renewal and ensuring our farmers are profitable and have sustainable production in the long run,” said Pam Alexis, Minister of Agriculture and Food. “Our producers have faced recent challenges, such as extreme weather and disease, and by supporting them so they can plant more resilient, climatefriendly crops, we will improve their bottom line and strengthen both the food economy and food security in B.C.”

The Perennial Crop Renewal Program will provide as much as $15 million to support multiple sectors with potential agronomic and market opportunities. Funding will help farmers adapt to environmental and market conditions by supporting the removal, diversification or planting of perennial crops, ensuring British Columbians enjoy local produce for years to come.

The amount of funding and project goals will vary by sector. Examples of crops eligible for the program include apples, cherries, grapes, raspberries, blueberries and hazelnuts.

“The Perennial Crop Renewal Program will provide welcome support to the B.C. wine-grape industry, which contributes $3.75 billion annually to the province’s economy,” said Miles Prodan, president and CEO, Wine Growers British Columbia. “The strength of our industry rests on the resilience of our vineyards, especially in the face of our changing climate.”

Tree-fruit growers will also benefit from an additional $1 million of tree-fruit market development support to increase the competitiveness and profitability of B.C. apples in domestic and export markets.

“Tree-fruit growers in B.C. appreciate the investment in food security and ensuring that growers have the resources to renew their orchards,” said Sukhdeep Brar, vice-president, BC Fruit Growers’ Association. “The BC Fruit Growers’ Association

thanks Minister Alexis for this vote of confidence in the local production of high-quality, B.C.grown produce.”

The Perennial Crop Renewal Program and the tree-fruit marketdevelopment funding will be administered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of BC (IAF).

“IAF has built a strong relationship with B.C.’s perennial crop sectors since our inception more than 25 years ago,” said Jack DeWit, chair, IAF board of directors. “Using our administrative expertise, we look forward to continuing to work with and support the sectors to deliver these complex programs.”

Quick Facts:

The Perennial Crop Renewal Program will replace individual programs, such as the raspberry replant program and hazelnut renewal program, previously funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

Applications and more details for the Perennial Crop Renewal Program are available online: www.iafbc.ca/pcrp

Local Food Infrastructure Fund announced

Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, while visiting RideauRockcliffe Community Resource Centre with the Honourable Mona Fortier, Member of Parliament for Ottawa–Vanier and President of the Treasury Board, announced $10 million for a new phase of the Local Food Infrastructure Fund (LFIF).

LFIF is a 5-year, $70-million initiative, ending on March 31, 2024. It was created as part of the Government of Canada’s Food Policy, a roadmap for healthier and more sustainable food systems in Canada. LFIF supports community-based, notfor-profit organizations to improve food security by strengthening local food systems and improving access to nutritious food.

This new phase of LFIF will provide rapid-response funding in the range of $15,000 to $120,000 per project to help improve food security in communities through investments in equipment and infrastructure needs. Project impacts must be targeted and immediate, and must be directly

related to addressing food security and increasing the accessibility of healthy, nutritious and ideally local foods within communities. For example, a project could help purchase and install a walk-in refrigerator or storage units for donated food.

Program details and requirements are available now. Eligible applicants from across Canada will be able to submit applications for this intake from May 4 until May 31, 2023. Organizations who have received LFIF funding in the past will be eligible to apply to this new funding opportunity.

During their visit to RideauRockcliffe Community Resource Centre, Minister Bibeau and Minister Fortier toured the facility and learned about the organization’s support of community food security in Ottawa. Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre received a total of $71,502 through past phases of LFIF to purchase a refrigerated vehicle and vertical growing racks and towers. These

community projects have allowed the organization to increase food production, while also improving distribution to community members.

“Now more than ever, we must support the work of organizations and food banks that help those who need it most. With today’s launch of this new phase of the Local Food Infrastructure Fund, our Government takes concrete and direct action, which will allow them to continue to ensure access to healthy and nutritious food,” said Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food

“Food security is a priority for the people of Ottawa–Vanier and for communities across Canada. Through the Local Food Infrastructure Fund, our Government is supporting food banks and local organizations, like the Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre, by enabling them to acquire equipment that is essential to providing food services to those who need it most,” said Mona Fortier, Member

of Parliament for Ottawa–Vanier and President of the Treasury Board

“Thanks to the Local Food Infrastructure Fund, the Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre has been able to significantly expand and enhance its Social Harvest and Good Food Box programs, which play a vital role in promoting food security, expanding access to affordable and nutritious fruits and vegetables for community members, supporting and expanding local agricultural production, and building more resilient communities. The support from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has allowed us to greatly enhance and expand our programs, offering healthy, nutritious, and affordable food options, while also supporting local food production and strengthening our local food systems, particularly during difficult times,” said Sebastian Gaissert, Executive Director, Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre.

Spring wildfire hazard

Nearly all spring wildfires in Alberta are human-caused, which means that they are 100% preventable.

The spring wildfire hazard is highest after seasonal melting has left fuels like trees and grasses extremely dry and flammable. Under these conditions, wildfire can ignite easily and spread quickly.

During the high-hazard time in spring, and throughout the wildfire season, it is critical that

people take care to fully extinguish campfires, frequently check offhighway vehicles (OHVs) for smouldering debris and conduct agriculture burning projects safely.

At any time of year, Alberta Wildfire’s online dashboard is the trusted source for real-time wildfire information, including the latest on fire bans and advisories across the province.

Canada moves forward with plant breeding

Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, announced updated guidance for seed regulations that will provide clear direction for plant breeders so that Canadian farmers can access new seed varieties, enhance sustainable food production and be more resilient in the face of today’s challenges. The Government of Canada is also strengthening transparency measures for products of plant breeding innovation and investing in the Canadian Organic Standards to protect the integrity of the organic sector.

Plant breeding innovations allow new plant varieties to be developed more effectively and efficiently than through conventional breeding. This can benefit farmers and consumers by providing them with access to plants and seeds that are both safe for humans, animals, and the environment. These varieties can also be more resistant to extreme temperature, precipitation, and insects, helping us adapt to climate change, feed a growing population and keep food costs down for consumers.

Through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)’s updated guidance for Part V of the Seeds Regulations, seed developers will be able to confidently invest in new products while maintaining the high standard of safety that Canada is known for domestically and internationally.

This update builds on a similar update last year to the Novel Food Regulations by Health Canada.

To help maintain the integrity of organic certifications, which allow the use of conventional seed but not gene edited seed, the government is announcing a series of measures to ensure transparency in how the seed is produced. Firstly, the creation of a Government-Industry Steering Committee on Plant Breeding Innovations Transparency to facilitate ongoing discussions as gene-edited products are introduced in the marketplace. Secondly, the expansion of the Seeds Canada Canadian Variety Transparency Database to provide transparency around individual seed varieties. Thirdly, federal

oversight of the Canadian Variety Transparency Database to ensure the completeness and robustness of the database.

These measures are informed by the recommendations and the work of the Industry-Government Technical Committee on Plant Breeding Innovation Transparency, which is comprised of members from the organic, conventional, and seed sectors, as well as officials from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Health Canada. Their continued engagement will enable the Canadian Variety Transparency Database to succeed, ensuring the transparency of seed innovations in Canada.

In addition to these measures, Minister Bibeau announced that the Government will once again provide funding to support the review of Canada’s organic standards, which are updated every five years and due for renewal in 2025.

The United States, Japan,

Australia, Argentina and Brazil have clarified the pathway for gene-edited products. New Zealand, the UK and the European Union (EU) are in the process of doing so.

The Government of Canada is committed to protecting the health and safety of Canadians and the environment through science and evidence-based decisionmaking, and recognizes that new plant breeding innovations, including gene-editing, allow new plant varieties to be developed more efficiently than conventional breeding.

“The Canadian Federation of Agriculture supports the release of CFIA’s new guidance on plant breeding innovation and ongoing commitment to transparency for producers. This will ultimately help Canadian farmers access new plant varieties that are more resilient to pests and extreme weather events and support our food security and sustainability objectives,” said Keith Currie, President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.

Vilna is naturally inviting! - and welcoming!

Vilna is one of those hidden gems in Alberta that deserves more recognition. Their historic main street will take you back in time with wooden sidewalks, 1920’s style storefronts and an operational pool hall built over 100 years ago. Even old-fashioned kindness is still prevalent in Vilna, as they became “Alberta’s Most Welcoming Community” in 2022, by receiving an overwhelming number of nominations through the Rumble Alberta Best of Alberta contest.

This community spirit has a long history. The region was settled, primarily by Ukrainian and Polish immigrants, around 1907. Between then and when the town was named in 1920 the Great War was grinding to a bloody halt and the Russian revolution was in full swing. It was in the years of Prohibition and moonshining was a profitable but dangerous business in Vilna. Still, amongst all of the turmoil, globally and locally, the local residents chose the name “VIlna,” which means peace in Ukrainian.

In addition to mainstreet, Vilna is home to the largest metal sculpture mushrooms; a popular selfie spot and part of the Alberta Big Icon tour on the TravelING On / History Check app. In addition to this piece of art, the village has numerous murals and

sculptures.

Vilna is also one of the Iron Horse Trail communities. You can access the trail in Vilna and take in nearly 300 km of trail east and west of the Village. OHV’s are allowed within village limits to access their services and attractions.

Other attractions and nearby activities include the Vilna Golf Course, Bonnie Lake for camping and boating; Saddle Lake Cree Nation Museum and Metis Crossing. Another unique stop is GoodVibes Cannabis, the first educational cannabis store in Alberta.

You will find all of the services you need in Vilna for living and travel including a pharmacy, the health centre, an ATB for banking services, school, an antique store and eclectic restaurants including Porky’s Side Street Cafe and Black Cat’s Cauldron Tea & Herb

House. Their signs alone should make great selfie stops.

A variety of seasonal markets take place throughout the year in Vilna and the surrounding communities. The Vilna Farmers’ Market is open on Sundays from May to November. If you are planning a late summer trip, Boomtown Days takes place during the 3rd weekend in August. The Smoky Lake Pumpkin Fair, Waskatenau Fair Days, Smoky Lake Stampede and the Randy Russ Memorial Barrel Racing (Bellis) are annual events across the Region.

Combined, it is easy to see that you can spend a day or several exploring Vilna and the surrounding region. You can camp at the Bonnie Lake Campground or soon, stay in the historic hotel.

Today, the Village of Vilna boasts a population of 300. Still a

rural community surrounded by farms the outlying areas bring the number up to 4,500. Vilna is located in Treaty 6 territory and the village’s Indigenous neighbours include Whitefish Lake First Nation, Saddle Lake Cree Nation and Kikino Metis Settlement.

Vilna is a 90 minute drive from Edmonton and both the Town of Smoky Lake and the Town of St. Paul are within 30 minutes of Vilna. For the flyers out there the closest airports are St. Paul, Bonnyville, and Edmonton.

Most Scenic Route:

Highway 28 rolls through parkland and agricultural land. Also, Highway 15 to Highway 45 and north on Highway 857 to Hwy 652 east and then north on 859 to Vilna is very scenic.

Best Motorcycle Route:

Highway 15 to Highway 45 and north on Highway 857 to Hwy 652 east and then north on 859 to Vilna.

Best Family Route:

Highway 28 – lots of service points along the way

Best Visitor Route:

Highway 15 to 45 from Edmonton area, then north on Highway 855 to Metis Crossing on North Saskatchewan River, into Smoky Lake and then east on Highway 28.

Grazing framework recognizes longstanding contributions

Crown rangeland is public land leased or permitted to ranchers for grazing livestock. The new framework provides clarity about how grazing fits into Crown Land and integrated land management practices.

“Our ranchers have long been stewards of our rangelands, and their input into the creation of this framework and their ongoing efforts with land management are important to supporting livestock production, maintaining healthy ecosystems and creating

economic prosperity,” says Todd Loewen, Minister of Forestry, Parks and Tourism.

The Rangeland Grazing Framework also provides the agriculture industry with the continued opportunity to use the forage production of the rangelands for grazing while keeping biodiversity top of mind. Alberta’s rangelands have long depended on grazing, with cattle now following in the footsteps of bison to help maintain ecological benefits such as watershed health, carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat, diverse plant and wildlife populations and aesthetic beauty.

“The framework supports the important work of ranchers to sustain and enhance the function and productivity of Crown

land rangeland ecosystems in a way that promotes biodiversity and ecological goods and services,” adds Sonya Savage, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas.

“The Rangeland Grazing Framework is a significant step forward in recognizing the vital role that ranchers play in managing Crown rangelands. By providing clarity on grazing practices and emphasizing the importance of biodiversity, the framework ensures that ranchers can continue to produce highquality beef while upholding Alberta’s reputation for ecological sustainability,” says Nate Horner, Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation.

“Grazing dispositions on Crown land are a proven conservation measure, as seen by the long history and the resulting health of the grasslands under grazing leases. The framework supports long-term conservation by solidifying the role of the leaseholder and supporting the partnership between the leaseholder and the province,” says Kyle Forbes, chairman,

Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Association.

To reinforce the spirit of the framework and support the ongoing contributions and ranchers, the Rangeland Grazing Framework sets out a process for involving leaseholders when proposed land-use changes are being considered.

Alberta has more than eight million acres (3.3 million hectares) of grasslands, forests, riparian areas and wetlands on Crown land that can be used to graze livestock.

These areas are held under grazing dispositions, which are lease agreements, or permits between the province and agricultural producers.

Crown rangelands support 14 per cent of Alberta’s beef herd. Rangelands support multiple land uses, including agriculture, industrial activities, cultural practices and recreation.

Lil Cloverbud Girls meeting Miss Rodeo Canada

$383,714 in agricultural grant funding

BC Hydro’s Peace Agricultural Compensation Fund (PACF) board of directors has dropped some cash on the Peace. The board approved $383,714 in grant funding to support agricultural production and related economic activity in the Peace Region.

From large to small, no project too short or tall. $100,000 for the BC Grain Producers Association to conduct field research to $1,715 for a gardener in Taylor to construct a fence around an organic field, the varying projects will financially support 12 organizations and provide far-reaching benefits to the agricultural community and beyond.

Talon Gauthier, area director with Bear Mountain Grazing Association said receiving this grant through the PACF allows Bear Mountain Grazing Association to invest in much-needed upgrades to the community pasture without financially burdening members. The association picked up $28,860 to install approximately 3.7 kilometres of fencing around a community pasture on Crown grazing land.

“The association realizes the need for new fencing to keep livestock safely contained on the pasture and prevent cattle from accessing neighbouring properties.”

Other recipients

Jedidiah Franklin (Peace River Regional District): $50,000 to build a pellet mill to produce organic alfalfa pellets to be sold as livestock feed. Before the project, Franklin produced and shipped alfalfa to Vancouver. By transitioning to providing pellets, the farm will reduce its fossil fuel footprint by approximately half as it takes less fuel to transport pellets.

Julian Napoleon (Peace River Regional District): $28,320 to assist with investing in equipment such as a greenhouse and caterpillar tunnel to extend the growing season. Napoleon operates as an independent farm business start-up under a sole proprietorship structure on Amisk Farm on East Moberly Indian Reserve 169 (Saulteau First Nations). This project will allow Napoleon to capitalize on shoulder season marketing opportunities and the ability to produce high-value heat loving crops..

Peace Region Forage Seed Association (Peace River Regional District): $60,745 for the Peace Region Forage Seed Association (PRFSA) to build on and improve pest surveillance activities in the region. PRFSA will gather surveillance data on key pest species (insect, pathogen and invasive plants) for forages seed, forage, pulse, horticulture, oilseeds and grains.
