BC Parks reaches milestone for specialty licence plate sales

support of Autoplan brokers,” said Sharon Craver, interim vice-president of insurance strategy, product and pricing, ICBC. “We look forward to seeing how many more plates are sold now that they’re available for fleet customers. ICBC is proud to be doing our part to support B.C.’s beautiful parks and conservation areas.”

Available at ICBC’s Autoplan broker offices, the specialty licence plates cost $50 for the initial purchase, and $40 for each annual renewal. All net proceeds from the sale and ongoing renewals of the specialty plates are being re-invested back into provincial parks through the Park Enhancement Fund. This fund is a special account, where revenues enhance programs or services in provincial parks beyond the core services provided by government.

More programs and projects funded from the proceeds of license plate sales will be unveiled in the coming year.

The licence plate program is a partnership between the Province and ICBC. Motorists can choose one of three specialty plate designs depicting scenes from B.C.’s parks and protected areas. The designs include the Kermode bear, an elusive white version of black bear found on B.C.’s coast, the snow-capped Purcell Mountains, symbolizing the province’s Interior region, and Porteau Cove, overlooking Howe Sound.

The Kermode bear design has been the most popular with 36,936 plates sold, followed by the Purcell Mountains, with 35,030 sales, and Porteau Cove, with 29,102 sales. Starting in summer 2018, customers with a fleet insurance policy will be able to purchase plates for all their fleet vehicles.

“Selling more than 100,000 BC Parks plates this quickly is a significant accomplishment. We could not have been this successful without the

The fusarium watch is on

Breakfast Brief

Fusarium levels may increase significantly in parts of Manitoba from last year’s low numbers, but the rest of the Prairies aren’t projected to experience major outbreaks.

“Fusarium was extremely low in 2017,” notes Manitoba Agriculture field crop pathologist Holly Derksen. “I expect there will be pockets in the province this year that will see significantly higher levels than they did last year.”

Warm, humid conditions, or rain events, that occur during cereal flowering favour the development of fusarium head blight, the

GRAIN PRICES HEAD FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN GREEN Grain prices this morning are almost all in the green, led by soybeans, as the complex looks to end its second straight week in the green. It’s been a highly volatile week of trading, be it new announcements from the White House, updated wheat estimates, and the weather (per usual) playing a role.

Wheat Prices Rally on Smaller Crops The last two days of market activity have been largely highlighted by the moves of the wheat market.

On Wednesday, Garrett walked us through the Grains Market Today column as to why we saw a nearly limit-up day for spring wheat prices. Very concretely, lower production estimates in Europe and worsethan-expected yields on Day 1 of the North Dakota spring wheat tour were bullish catalysts that couldn’t be ignored.

On Thursday though, Garrett again explained in Grain Markets Today why wheat prices retreated a bit.

However, I have to note that, between my meetings and travel, in the morning, we did see spring wheat prices up about another 20 cents USD / bushel in Minneapolis, before some sellers came in and contracts closed basically where they started the day.

On the second day of the spring wheat crop tour though, tour participants estimated yields at 41.3 bushels per acre. That figure is 5.5 bushels higher than what we saw in last year’s drought-riddled crop.

However, it’s still 3.4 bushels below the five-year average of 44.7 bushels per acre.

The crop tour wrapped up yesterday with the Wheat Quality Council announcing a final yield estimate of 41.1 bushels per acre. While this is 3 bushels above last year’s final yield, it’s almost more than 4 bushels below the five-year average of 45.4 bushels per acre. It’s also a stark contrast from a record 48 bushels per acre that the USDA is currently forecasting for average spring wheat yields in North Dakota. Full disclosure: we’ve sent out a more detailed note to our spring wheat GrainCents readers this morning.

Worth also noting is that the tour projected an average durum yield in North Dakota of 39.3 bushels per acre. This is even lower than last year’s 39.7 yields and the five-year average of 40.5 bushels per acre.

We do have to take the estimate with a grain of salt though as just 17 durum fields were sampled. Drier conditions are something we’re watching very closely for durum prices.

province reports.

Manitoba Manitoba’s FHB risk increased with more moisture across the province since the beginning of July, with some areas seeing rain even earlier, Derksen says.

But recent hot days in the province might have offset rain and heavier dews somewhat, as temperatures above 30C aren’t conducive to pathogen development.

FHB risk was low in south-central Manitoba, where wheat was flowering the last week of June.

“Conditions were extremely dry and be-

SUNSET CUSTOM HARVEST

A Flurry of Soybean Activity This week, we’ve seen some heavy-handed external influences on soybean prices. First, earlier in the week we saw the US government announce $12 Billion in farm aid to help compensate farmers for losses trade.

I argued in Bloomberg this week that the aid might not come enough. That echoes a lot of the sentiment of American farmers wanting trade, not aid. In fact, we read a report in the Wall Street Journal this week about a group of farmers who went to China directly to meet with soybean buyers there!

Straight cut and pick up headers Serving the Peace Country Region

Then we saw a more collaborative conversation between the White House and the European Union as they announced more open trade, including the EU buying more American soybeans. However, the deal

may appear to be on the rocks as the Europeans are worried that their very-protected farming industry might be part of the deal that US President Trump wants.

This price action has helped support canola prices, albeit some weaker soyoil activity has capped any rally. Further, a stronger Canadian Loonie is offsetting some patchy weather across Canada.

In Brazil, AgResource is reporting that there are ships waiting at Brazil ports to load about 7 MMT of soybeans. Last week there was 7.34 MMT in the lineup. This time a year ago, just 5.9 MMT worth of ships were waiting. It’s expected that Brazil’s July soybean exports will come in around 10.3 MMT. That’s well above the official number of 6.96MMT shipped out in July 2017 Clarifying Artificial Grain Prices I got some feedback that there was some confusion over Wednesday’s FarmLead Breakfast Brief, titled “Are We Seeing Artificial Grain Markets?” Why are they artificial? More than anything, when you see government intervention like today, the market becomes a mirror version of itself, but at a higher or lower step function than what it should be. For example, soybean prices in Brazil are much higher today than they were when there were no tariffs on US soybeans. Conversely, US soybean prices are much lower today than they were without Chinese import taxes. Since soybean prices are one of the major drivers of grain prices, there are effects that it can have on other grain, including corn prices and wheat prices.

Len Chartrand President

1-250-794-2041

There may be some readers who can preach back to me the saying that even I’ve used, “the market is the market is the market.” Indeed, we pay the game in front of us, not the one we’re hoping for. The point, more than anything though, is that because the event that’s driving current soybean prices lower is not a natural supply and demand factor, but government action said government policy could change tomorrow for we know it. Then, the market will do a knee-jerk correction back to where the real variables of supply and demand are putting the price equilibrium. This is why it’s called artificial.

Have a great weekend!

cause of the dry spring, the wheat was quite short,” Derksen says.

“In addition to not receiving rain, there was also no microclimate for pathogen development.”

Alberta FHB risks in Alberta aren’t as high some previous years, says provincial crop specialist Neil Whatley.

FHB reached record proportions in 2016, but became far less problematic in 2017 as rainfall dropped off by the end of June, except for some areas in northeast and northwest, he says.

Winter cereals will be out of the danger zone soon, but spring cereals haven’t advanced far enough yet.

Although east central Alberta’s moisture levels increased this year, Whatley doesn’t expect it’ll be enough to cause an outbreak, especially as the typically drier zone lacks an FHB history.

FHB incidents are more likely in areas with more moisture, like southern parts under irrigation, he says.

Saskatchewan Saskatchewan cereal crops were still in the heading stage last week, so no incidences of fusarium were reported at that time, according to provincial plant disease specialist Barb Ziesman.

“In early July, we see a higher risk in the northeast part of the province, but when we move farther south, it’s typically a lower risk, just because it’s been hotter and drier,” Ziesman says.

Bottom line Prairie cereal growers in warm, humid zones will be on the lookout for fusarium outbreaks in the flowering stage.

All prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne Market Comments - Feed wheat, barley, and corn prices remained largely unchanged in Manitoba while barley and wheat prices in Saskatchewan and Alberta softened by $10-15/T. Protein prices meanwhile remained unchanged from the previous two week period. Corn DDGS values dropped by another $20-25/T as they continue their slide over the past two months, and are now priced on par or below the per tonne value of corn. Feed pea prices softened as well, trading for $255/T in Manitoba, $240/T in Saskatchewan, and $250/T in Alberta. * Models have been updated to reflect the latest nutrient compositions of feed ingredients, which is done periodically.

Feed Pea / Faba Bean Benchmark - The feed pea/faba bean feed benchmarks are intended to be used as a pricing reference. This benchmark provides a consistent and unbiased estimate of the feeding value of peas and low tannin faba beans in the three regions shown. Feed peas and faba beans will trade at various differentials to the benchmark based on local supply/demand, quality differences and other contract terms.

Feed Pea / Faba Bean Feed Benchmark Calculation - The feed pea/faba bean feed benchmarks are an estimate of the feeding value of dry peas/low tannin faba beans in Western Canada, based on the value of competing feed ingredients in swine rations.

Bi-weekly, tradable prices for the major feed ingredients are collected for the three regions shown above. These prices are then entered into a least cost feed formulation that is typical for grower-finisher swine in Western Canada. A feeding value is then derived for feed peas/ faba beans based on their nutritional characteristics and the prices of the competing feed ingredients. The least cost feed formulation was developed in consultation with the Prairie Swine Centre. In addition to the feed ingredients shown above, the feed formulation also includes canola oil, synthetic lysine, synthetic methionine, synthetic threonine, synthetic tryptophan, mono-dicalcium phosphate, limestone, salt, vitamins and minerals.

Federal, provincial, and territorial ministers of agriculture helping the sector grow, innovate, and prosper Canadian farmers, ranchers and processors across the country work hard every day to ensure that Canadians and consumers around the world have access to high-quality and healthy food. Canada’s agriculture and agri-food system contributes over $110 billion of our gross domestic product, and last year our agriculture, food and seafood exports hit an all-time record of $64.6 billion.

Topics critical to the growth and continued prosperity of the sector were the focus of discussion at the annual meeting of federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) ministers of agriculture, co-chaired by Lawrence MacAulay, federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, and Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture for British Columbia.

Ministers discussed how they can collaborate to create more jobs and support economic growth in the agriculture and agri-food sector. Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector was recently identified in the Barton Report as one of six sectors with high potential for economic growth. An AgriFood Economic Strategy Table was created as part of the federal Innovation Skills Plan and serves as a forum for industry leaders to explore opportunities and challenges facing the sector. The Table engaged FPT ministers on their views to drive growth in the sector.

Ministers noted the significant work that

the Table has undertaken and committed to work collaboratively with industry.

Ministers acknowledged the importance of trade. They discussed on-going trade negotiations to maintain and grow market access for Canada, and the importance of working together to help the agricultural sector expand their businesses in key global markets. Ministers also reiterated their strong support for supply management. Ministers agreed that an appropriately skilled and increased labour supply in the short and long term is critical to future growth, and also agreed on the importance of ensuring the effectiveness of temporary foreign workers programs.

FPT Ministers noted the successful launch in April 2018 of the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year, $3-billion investment to help the sector grow, innovate and prosper. The Partnership provides ongoing investments to support leading edge discovery and applied science, spur innovation, and promote international trade, while ensuring that producers continue to have access to business risk management (BRM) programs.

The Government of Canada provided an update on progress toward legalization of cannabis. The cannabis industry is eligible to apply for federal programs under the Partnership. Provinces and territories have the

discretion to determine eligibility for cannabis production for cost-shared programs.

For BRM programs, income from cannabis (including both medicinal and recreational) are not eligible for support under AgriStability and AgriInvest. Governments agree to monitor this over the coming years as the cannabis industry matures and stabilizes.

After significant effort over the past year, the external panel of experts presented its recommendations on BRM programming.

Ministers thanked the panel on concluding their work and directed officials to move forward with additional work required on the recommendations and to report back on progress to Ministers in 2019.

Topics at the meeting also included identifying areas for increased collaboration to streamline regulations, reduce regulatory burden and continue to uphold the safety and high quality of agricultural products. In addition, Ministers had the opportunity to hear about Indigenous agriculture activities currently underway in British Columbia and received an update from the federal government on the continued development of A Food Policy for Canada.

The next annual meeting of FPT Ministers will be held in Quebec City in July 2019.

Government helps young Canadians become stewards on the farm

The Government of Canada is committed to helping farmers implement sustainable practices to keep the land, water and air healthy, while providing Canada’s youth with the tools they need to gain skills and work experience in the agriculture and agri-food sector.

Celebrating an event at the Dean Farm today, Member of Parliament Lloyd Longfield (Guelph), on behalf of Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay, highlighted an investment of $48,000 to Ontario Farmland Trust to hire student interns under the Agricultural Youth Green Jobs Initiative. This investment helped support the expanding ‘Ontario Farmland Education and Preservation Program’ across Ontario.

Over the last three years, the students have been involved with many aspects of the Program such as identifying farmlands for protection, developing environmental stewardship recommendations, helping to coordinate various outreach and education events, taking part in research activities with farmers, writing technical reports and delivering presentations to urban audiences.

“This funding will allow the Ontario Farmland Trust to reach more landowners interested in protecting their farmland with conservation easements. The investment by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, alongside support from our other partners and funders, will help us to double our impact of farmland protection over the next two years,” added Kathryn Enders, Executive Director, Ontario Farmland Trust The $7.1 million Agricultural Youth Green Jobs Initiative was announced in 2016 and 2017 as part of the government’s Youth Employment Strategy.

The initiative helps youth aged 15 to 30 get the career information and gain the skills, work experience and abilities they need to find and maintain employment.

Ontario Farmland Trust actively protects farmland by working directly with landowners who have a desire to see their farms permanently protected for agriculture.

Since the initial launch of the Agricultural Youth Green Jobs Initiative in April 2016, 591 new jobs have been created nationally, both on the farm and with organizations engaged in the agriculture and agri-food sector.

“Our government is committed to providing youth with the knowledge, tools and training needed to succeed. This support to the Ontario Farmland Trust has helped create opportunities for youth to work alongside farmers and rural land owners, learn how to become good farmland stewards, and foster a love for the agricultural lands that put safe, healthy and sustainable food on the tables of Canadians,” said Lloyd Longfield, Member of Parliament for Guelph.

Agriculture in the Classroom Canada has launched the new online resource, snapAG. This series lets students to explore the hot topics affecting the agriculture industry.

These downloadable two page factsheets cover more than 40 different topics under farming basics, animal health, animal care, farming and the environment, pesticides, food, growing crops, and organics.

CANOLA Futures Nov-18 Nov-18 Nov-18 Nov-18 Nov-18 Jan-19 Jan-19 Mar-19 Mar-19

“Ag in the Classroom develops resources for teachers and students,” says Karen Carle, ag education consultant with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “In this case, snapAG is factual information that is not necessarily curricular-linked. It is bite-sized, easy to digest amounts of information, and a helpful resource that can also be used by producers, parents, and anyone interested in agriculture. Producers who are involved in Alberta Open Farm Days may want to print these PDFs and have them available for those visiting their farms and ranches in August.”

For more information about snapAG, contact Ag in the Classroom at info@aitc-canada.ca or 1-833-248-2226.

Minister MacAulay to attend G20 and promote trade in South America The Government of Canada is committed to working with all our global partners to expand market opportunities, so that it can reach its goal of $75 billion in annual agri-food exports by 2025. Argentina and Chile are important partners in helping us achieve this goal. In 2017, Canada exported nearly $300 million in agriculture and agri-food products to these two countries.

On Wednesday, Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister, Lawrence MacAulay, departed for Argentina and Chile to create new market opportunities for Canadian farmers and processors.

During his time in Buenos Aires, the Minister

will participate in the G20 Agriculture Ministerial Meeting, which will focus on healthy soil management. Finding ways to help the agriculture sector adjust to climate change and better address water and soil conservation along with development issues is a priority for the Government of Canada. As such, the Minister will work with Agriculture Ministers at the G20 to find ways to accelerate the development of new and sustainable agricultural practices and technologies around the world.

Minister MacAulay will travel to Chile, an important member of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partner-

ship (CPTPP), to advance industry’s interest in this key market. While in Argentina and Chile, the Minister will hold bilateral meetings with his counterparts, promote Canadian agricultural products including canola, wheat, beef and pork, and meet with industry leaders to bolster bilateral trading relationships.

“The Government of Canada is not only creating tremendous trade opportunities for Canadian exporters of agricultural goods in both Chile and Argentina, we’re helping farmers here at home, strengthening the middle class, and growing our economy,” said MacAulay

The AgriRisk Initiatives program is now available Canada’s agriculture and agrifood system contributes $110 billion to Canada’s economy, with more than $64.6 billion in exports.

Agriculture risk management is important to the sector – it helps stabilize farmers’ incomes, strengthens farm businesses, and encourages growth in the agricultural sector.

Under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, governments continue to support the development of new risk management tools that reflect the changing nature of the business.

Building on the successes of Growing Forward 2, the AgriRisk Initiatives Program has been renewed under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Lawrence MacAulay today announced that the $55 million program will encourage partnerships between agriculture industry stakeholders, researchers, and federal, provincial and territorial governments to proactively explore and develop new risk management products and services for the agricultural sector.

Funding is available under two components: Research and Development and Administrative Capacity Building. In response to recommendations received from the BRM

Review Expert Panel, priority will be given to proposals for industry-led projects to develop new and innovative business risk management tools.

“Canada’s hard-working farmers constantly face volatility and unpredictability in their business.

Our Government is launching this renewed AgriRisk program to help protect our hardworking farmers from the risks they face so they can continue to grow the economy and create good, well-paying jobs. This announcement responds to what we heard from the external advisory panel on business risk management, said MacAulay.

The AgriRisk Initiatives (ARI) program supports the development of new risk management tools for use in the agriculture sector. ARI is a Canadian Agricultural Partnership Business Risk Management (BRM) initiative.

The Research and Development component provides funding for the research and development of potential new private sector or industry-led, tools to assist the industry in addressing risks. Applications for the Research and Development component are now available, and

INTRODUCING THE LG900 WOOD PELLET BARBEQUE

will be accepted until September 28th, 2018.

MicroGrants, a new category under the Research and Development component, will provide up to $25,000 per year in funding for academic research proposals that explore the development of alternative risk management tools or, propose different ways to address issues with existing BRM programs.

The Administrative Capacity Building component provides fund-

ing to build administrative capacity for the delivery of new risk management tools. Applications are now available and being accepted.

The BRM Review External Panel of Experts presented a series of recommendations to FPT Ministers, including a recommendation to support the development of industry-led “top-up” tools to provide farmers with flexibility in addressing losses not currently covered in the BRM suite.

Twenty-five fun and fantastic facts about horses Horses have been called the noblest of creatures, and it’s easy to see why. Depending on which scientific accounts you believe, they’ve been man’s original best friend since anywhere from 4000 to 2000 B.C. They’ve taken us wherever we’ve asked them to including the fields of battle.

Yet here we are in the 21st Century, and there are still plenty about these noble creatures you still don’t know. Want proof? Here is our list of the 45 Most Random, Amazing and Bizarre Facts about Horses that we’ve managed to gather.

Which is your favorite?

1. Horses have the largest eyes of any land mammal.

2. Horses can run within hours after birth.

(Source: ScienceKids) 3. When horses look like they’re laughing, they’re actually engaging in a special nose-enhancing technique known as “flehmen,” to determine whether a smell is good or bad. (Source: Dictionary) 4. At one time people thought horses were colorblind. They’re not, though they are better at seeing yellows and greens than purples and violets. (Source: The Horse) 5. A horse’s teeth take up a larger amount of space in their head than their brain. (Source: LiveScience) 6. You can generally tell the difference between male and female horses by their number of teeth: males have 40 while females have 36 (but honestly, most us are going to use the much “easier” way).

7. Horse hooves are made from the same protein that comprises human hair and fingernails.

(Source: Ker) 8. The horse trailer (“horse box”) was invented

by Lord George Bentinck, a U.K. man who needed a more effective transport for getting his six horses from one racetrack to another.

9. In 1872, Leland Stanford (1824-1893) made a bet that at some point in the gallop all four of a horse’s legs are off the ground at the same time.

Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) proved him right by using a series of 24 cameras and photographing a racehorse named Sallie Gardner.

(Source: HorseswithAmie 10. Horses are more secure and comfortable when trailering if they can face the rear, but they prefer openings. (Source: Animal People News) 11. Horses can sleep both lying down and standing up. (Source: ScienceKids) 12. A 19th century horse named ‘Old Billy’ reportedly lived 62 years. (Source: Manchester Museum) 13. From 1867 to 1920, the number of horses shot up from 7.8 million to 25 million. Experts believe this was due to the rise of the automobile.

(Source: HorseswithAmie) 14. Because horse’s eyes are on the side of their head they are capable of seeing nearly 360 degrees at one time. (Source: ScienceKids) 15. The fastest recorded sprinting speed of a horse was 88 kph (55 mph). Most gallop at around 44 kph or 27 mph. (Source: Purely Facts) 16. The Przewalski’s horse is the only truly wild horse species still in existence. The only wild population is in Mongolia. There are however numerous populations across the world of feral horses e.g. mustangs in North America. (Source: Onekind)

19. Vocalizations are highly important to horses. Examples: Whinnying and neighing sounds are elicited when horses meet or leave each other.

Stallions (adult male horses) perform loud roars as mating calls, and all horses will use snorts to alert others of potential danger. (Source: Onekind) 20. Approximately 4.6 million Americans work in the horse industry in one way or another. The US horse industry has an economic effect of $39 billion annually on just nine million American horses. There are approximately 58 million horses in the world and the vast majority are cared for by humans. (Source: American Horse Council) 21. An adult horse’s brain weights 22 oz, about half that of a human. (Source: The Equinest) 22. Horses still hold a place of honor in many cultures, often linked to heroic exploits in war, China being one of those countries. (Source: National Geographic) 23. Horses can not vomit. (Source: The Equinest)

17. Horses use their ears, eyes and nostrils to express their mood. They also communicate their feelings through facial expressions. (Source: CBS News)

24. There is only one species of domestic horse, but around 400 different breeds that specialize in everything from pulling wagons to racing. All horses are grazers. (Source: National Geographic)

18. Horses will not lie down simultaneously because at least one will act as a look-out to alert its companions of potential dangers. (Source: EquiSearch)

25. A horse can see better at night than a human. However, it takes a horse’s eyes longer to adjust from light to dark and from dark to light than a human’s. (Source: Cowboy Way)

Pets for seniors; good for companionship and well-being

By Dr. Mira Kelada Animals can be wonderful companions, especially for senior citizens. Pets provide emotional support and encourage their owners to exercise.

Studies have shown that pet-owning seniors undergoing health problems heal much more quickly than those without pets. However, not all pets are created equal and it is important to consider the kind and type of pet when looking for a companion for a senior citizen.

Both dogs and cats can be excellent companions for an elderly person. However, both kinds of animals can harbour diseases and parasites, which can be transmitted to people. Infectious agents such as mites, and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) can be transmitted from animals to people. Many seniors are at an increased risk of contracting diseases due to being immunocompromised. It is important to ensure that pets are healthy and free from disease if they are going to be a companion animal for a senior. Diagnostic testing as well as a veterinary examination can minimize the concern for zoonotic (diseases that pass from animals to humans and vice versa) disease from travelling from a new pet to a senior citizen.

Dogs will need to be walked every day. For someone with extremely limited mobility, this

might be a challenge unless they can have someone help them exercise their dog. In cases like this, a cat may be a more appropriate pet. Though they don’t need to be walked, cats will need their litter box cleaned every day. Family members can be very helpful to a senior citizen in the care of their pet.

Everyone loves to dote on their animals but it is important to remember that too much doting can have negative health affects for pets. Overfeeding, especially of human table scraps, can contribute to both obesity and to pancreatitis (which can be triggered in many dogs by feeding human food). It is devastating for an owner to see their animal suffering from a painful pancreatitis attack or obesity related illnesses such as decreased mobility and respiratory difficulties. It is possible to love our pets to death, and as hard as it is, showing restraint when giving treats is key to promoting health and a long life in our animal companions.

It is important to consider breed when finding a companion animal for a senior citizen.

Though small dogs are typically thought of as the right size pet for a senior, it is important to think about the extra care that they might need.

Any small dog with a flat nose (brachycephalic) face may have respiratory problems within their lifetimes. Pugs, bulldogs, and Boston terriers can

all suffer from respiratory issues. Some breeds are more pre-disposed to certain illnesses, and researching a breed before buying one is a good idea. Large, high energy dogs can be difficult for seniors to handle. It can be helpful to evaluate the temperament and energy of the dog’s parents when determining what a dog may be like as an adult if buying a puppy. Investing in obedience training is key for any dog to ensure that a dog is well behaved and manageable for a senior.

Small dogs also have a much higher tendency to have serious dental issues within their lifetimes compared to other larger breed dogs.

Small dogs often suffer from severe periodontal disease at some point in their life unless they are seen frequently by the veterinarian and undergo dental treatment. Dental treatment can be an expensive veterinary endeavor, but it is vital to the health and wellbeing of a small dog. Dental and emergency medical care for a pet can be expensive so it is helpful to consider pet insurance and/or to set aside money to be prepared to handle the costs of care.

Pets can be a wonderful help to the health and wellbeing of a senior, but it is important to think carefully about the right kind of pet for a senior. If you have any questions or concerns about finding an animal companion for a senior person, do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian.

Companies invited to Canada Food Expo Japan and Korea 2018

What is the Canada Food Expo tabletop event?

Canada Food Expo is a traveling trade show event held in Osaka, Tokyo and Seoul. This initiative is designed to provide a cost-effective opportunity for export-ready, small and medium-sized food and beverage producers to showcase their products to Japanese and Korean businesses.

Japanese and Korean food and beverage buyers, importers, wholesalers and distributors will be invited to view and sample Canadian prod-

ucts and meet with exhibitors. In addition to the one-day tabletop event in each of the three cities, Japan and Korea-specific exporter training and market tours will be arranged.

for greater food variety, lower prices, and convenience food products. Canada exported $652.3 million in agri-food and seafood products to South Korea in 2017.

This mission will provide opportunity to showcase your products, meet face-to-face with potential buyers, test the response to your products, and learn more about export opportunities in the Japan and South Korea markets.

Learn more about the Canada Food Expo and find the downloadable application form under Events. Deadline to apply is August 3, 2018. For more information, contact Katie Meredith, trade and relations officer with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry at 780-427-6057.

Why attend the Canada Food Expo?

Japan and South Korea are important overseas markets for Canadian agriculture, food and beverages. Japan has the world’s third-largest economy, a large population and is heavily reliant on agriculture and agri-food imports, making it a high priority market for Canada. Japan is Canada’s third-largest export market for agri-food and seafood products, worth about $4.2 billion in 2017. Likewise, South Korea imports over 70 per cent of its food consumption requirements, relying on imports to satisfy consumer demand

The Saloon-Style Western Omelette INGREDIENTS 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 1/4 cup (1/4” cubed) ham steak (about 1.5 ounces) 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color) 3 large eggs 1 tablespoon whole milk 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 1 ounce) PREPARATION

Heat oil in a medium (preferably 10”) nonstick skillet over medium. Cook ham, onion, and bell pepper, stirring often, until softened and beginning to brown, 5–7 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

Reduce heat to medium-low and shake pan so that ham and vegetables form a single layer.

Pour egg mixture over ham and vegetables, then sprinkle cheese over. Cook, tilting skillet and gently running a rubber spatula around edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until eggs are mostly set, about 5 minutes. Fold omelet in half, cover, and cook until set, about 1 minute.

Slide onto a plate to serve.

Peace Region Pest Update – Wheat Midge Hey everyone! We are approaching a time in the growing season where you may start to see issues regarding Wheat Midge in your wheat crops. Wheat Midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana), is an orange Midge that is about half the size of a mosquito. They have four stages in their lifecycle: eggs, larvae, pupa, and adult. The adult midge emerges from the Pupa stage in the soil over a period of 5-6 weeks from mid-June to mid-July and live for a total of about 7 days once fully grown.

For identification and scouting purposes, it is best to look for Wheat Midge between the heading and flowering crop stages and after 8:30pm when they are most active. This is when the females come out of the crop canopy to lay their eggs on the newly emerged wheat heads. All conventional wheat varieties are susceptible to Wheat damage; however, some are more likely than others. Crop damage occurs during the larval stage, as they feed on the developing wheat kernel after hatching. Symptoms of damage can often be mistaken for frost or drought to someone who has never been exposed to Midge damage before. There are minimal visible changes to the external wheat head, but the kernel will be

shrivelled, cracked, and deformed if there has been wheat midge damage.

There are a few natural progressions that can help reduce the chances of a Wheat Midge infestation! Biological control of Wheat Midge includes parasitoid wasps that lay their eggs inside of the Wheat Midge larvae, ultimately consuming them as they grow. Seeding dates may also be a prevention method, it has been discovered that early seeding dates can result in less Midge damage as the crop matures before the Midge emerges from the soil. If prevention methods fail however, and the threshold of 1 adult midge for each four or five heads is met, chemical control may be warranted. Insecticide should be applied in the evening when the female Midge is most active at the top of the canopy.

Good luck with your Wheat Midge scouting and please, feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding what you are seeing. Tune in next week as we explore the Bertha Armyworm.

SHEEP, GOAT AND HOG PRODUCERS!!

Cattle Alley Banter

VJV WESTLOCK HAS AN EXCLUSIVE MARKET ON TOP QUALITY EWE LAMBS, GOATS AND HOGS!

Gary Jarvis

General Manager, Vold Jones Vold Westlock, AB

Wow! I know, I know! Smaller run, but the market is steaming hot! Right from the lights to heavies - they're all in big demand. Now, for how long? That is the question of the day, but for the here and now ... get those yearlings in and take advantage of an "up market"!! Even the cows were up 5 - 8 cents ... though it's about time that happened! No big volumes of feeder cattle anywhere, which really helps support the market, but that can change. There are areas that are quickly drying out and those cattle will be pulled when the grass runs out. The cow calf pairs sold well. We had some good younger cows with good April / March calves at $2,500 which we don't usually see. By now, pairs are usually bringing "split price".

All in all, it was good. On another note ... Mr. Dress-up is in the news again saying that Canada will stand with NATO partners. Really? What does Canada have to offer? One submarine, but West Edmonton mall is using it at present. Our armed forces are distributed around the world, but keep in mind that we have a very small contingent in relation to the size of Canada. The liberals have always maintained we don't need a large armed force and have been cutting the size to the point - - I hope we never get attacked, especially when the PM and President Trump are on the outs. President Trump is not making many friends outside the U.S., but he is doing a great job for the economy in the U.S., which is the reverse of any media crap coming out in public. He is no good for us, but great for the U.S. and that is what he promised - - to make the U.S. great again. Have a great week, folks!

If you have lambs, goats or hogs for sale, call us for an updated market report and to arrange delivery.

VJV Westlock holds sheep, goat & hog sales on the 3rd Tuesday of each month!!

Free feed and water upon delivery. Be sure your sheep are ear tagged before marketing.

The Northern Horizon, August 3, 2018

Scouting for Fusarium head blight symptoms in a developing crop grades of cereals.”

Whatley says that to limit the impact of FHB, grain producers must use a combination of disease management strategies throughout the growing season. “The first step in this strategy

is realizing whether the disease is present in a developing crop by searching for disease symptoms.

Additionally, learning whether Fusarium graminearum is the dominant FHB species under observation and

becoming aware of its prevalence and severity contribute to this first step toward potentially reducing its negative impact.”

FHB symptoms become visible in a cereal crop during the later heading stage. While disease infection takes place a few weeks prior at the flowering stage, symptoms appear when the plant reaches the late milk to early dough stage.

“For spring seeded cereals, this typically

occurs during the last part of July or early August,” explains Whatley. “Once symptoms are present, it is too late to apply a fungicide, however, this information is valuable for your FHB disease management plan in subsequent growing seasons.”

The most apparent FHB disease symptom in wheat is premature bleaching of one or more infected spikelets in the cereal plant’s head, which

is visibly apparent on green heads. Orange, pink or salmon coloured fungal growth may also appear at the base and edges of the glumes on these blighted head parts.

Symptoms in barley are much less distinct and the brownish discolouration of FHB infected barley spikelets can easily be confused with hail damage or the extended symptoms of other barley diseases like spot blotch, i.e. kernel smudge.

Scouting for fusarium head blight (FHB) symptoms is key to realizing whether a field is a candidate for the application of a FHB plan. Neil Whatley, crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre, explains its importance and what to look for when scouting.

Fusarium head blight is a fungal disease of cereal crops that affects kernel development.

“While caused by one or more species, Fusarium graminearum is considered the most important FHB species due to its aggressiveness and production of a toxin called deoxynivalenol (DON),” says Whatley.

“This mycotoxin is a fungal chemical that affects livestock feed, the baking and milling quality of wheat, and the malting and brewing qualities of malt barley. Canadian Grain Commission grading standards allow very little tolerance of Fusarium damaged kernels (FDK) in the top

Alberta Beef Producers seeking producer delegates

Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is currently accepting nominations for delegates to run in its 2018 fall elections.

Producers in each of the nine geographic zones in the province can elect up to five delegates and one cattle feeder delegate to serve two-year terms. In order to ensure continuity and experience in its delegate body, elections are staggered.

This year, two producer delegate positions are open for election in each zone, and one cattle feeder position open in zones 2, 4, 6 and 8 with a few additional vacancies.

ABP delegates are producer representatives that connect ABP to local producers and bring forward their ideas and issues. Delegates are also responsible for communicating ABP’s priorities and activities back to producers.

Download the ABP delegate nomination form or call the ABP office at 403-275-4400. Deadline for nominations is August 31, 2018.

Contact: abpfeedback@albertabeef.org 403-275-4400

Oilseed market feels summer price pressure Farm incomes in the United States and even here in Canada could feel the pinch as the negative effects of emboldened tariffs and counter-tariffs affect global trade.

After declining $20-plus per tonne since peaking at the end of May, Winnipeg canola November futures contract has somewhat stabilized into a range between $506 and $514 per tonne.

Impacts on canola prices The dramatic decline in the Chicago soy complex remains the primary weight on our canola market, though seasonally canola does tend to retreat this time of year unless real crop production threats emerge. Canola is also still looking expensive on a relative basis to other oilseeds, notably U.S. soybeans.

Losses in Malaysian palm oil and U.S. soyoil have also been a drag on canola prices.

The Statistics Canada acreage report (June 29) offered an additionally modest bearish influence.

The agency pegged 2018 canola plantings in Canada at 22.7 million acres, well above the previous estimate of 21.4 million, but was in line with trade expectations. With a trend yield expectation averaging 42 bushels per acre, 2018 Canadian canola production could total near 21.5 million tonnes.

Shifting market attention Ultimately, the higher canola acreage number probably does not change the price outlook as market attention now shifts back to sum-

mer weather and emerging global oilseed trade patterns punctuated by the U.S.-China conflict.

Farmers at this time are generally not interested in cash sales on either old- or new-crop. We are probably going to need at minimum 25 to 50 cent rallies in cash canola before grower interest can once again be piqued.

But the $1.80 per bushel break in Chicago soybean futures since the end of May high due to China soy tariffs are unlikely to be recouped soon, especially if U.S. soybean crop ratings continue to track above normal.

Price spread Meanwhile, the canola less soybean futures price spread has jumped by $40CDN per tonne in the past month. China remains a key buyer of Canadian canola and Brazilian soybeans, despite needing to pay a price premium for it. But because a premium on price relative to U.S. soybeans is already in place, Chinese buying doesn’t mean canola flat price needs to trend higher at this time.

However, if we throw out all the daily news nattering on weather and global trade tensions, we still see the broader view of the canola market remains sideways as it has been the case for the better part of the past three years. No change there: one to three months up, one to three months down, and on and on we seem to go.

I would like to thank

40 The Northern Horizon, August 3, 2018

Producers welcome changes to wheat grading system Separating tests A year into research on how to modernize the way grain is graded, the Canadian Grain Commission has made some small changes. A minor one is separating the test between mildew-and-heat stress and frost stress.

Daryl Beswitherick, the program manager of National Inspection Standards for the CGC, says they are replacing the standard samples with the frost and mildew guides, which is currently a combination of both.

“Our research has shown that the two grading factors don’t compound each other so we are going

to assess them individually, not in a combination,” says Beswitherick.

Beswitherick explains the frost guide has a slightly higher frequency of frost than the standard sample would have. The same goes for mildew.

“At the end of the day, it will allow a little bit more grain that has been impacted by frost and mildew into a higher grade,” Beswitherick explains.

Good for producers Matt Sawyer, a director with the Western Canadian Wheat Growers, says separating them out is a really good thing for producers, while not affecting the end product.

He adds that looking at easing some of these standards, while not affecting milling or the bread, is a win-win for the whole system since it increases revenues for producers and takes the next step toward modernizing Canada’s grain system.

The farmer from Acme, Alberta says it should also lower farmers stress when it comes time to take grain off the field, especially if it may have been touched by light frost.

“Maybe if there was a little bit of frost on your grain, you might be able to save that grade and put more money into farmers’ jeans,” Sawyer says.

Beswitherick and Sawyer stress

this will have no effect on the product for the consumer. It may also encourage farmers to grow more wheat, says Sawyer who believes this is a great first step in modernizing the grain system and making it more competitive globally.

Bottom line Changes to how grain is graded that come into effect on Aug. 1 will include testing for mildew and frost individually rather than in combination. The changes are expected to relieve and increase revenues for producers while having no effect on the end product.

Loblaws Inc., the Canadian retail grocery giant, recently announced its intention to help Canadian farmers produce exotic and traditionally imported fruits and vegetables for its stores.

Intended to total $150 million each year by 2025, Canadian farmers say they are excited the grocery company is showing increasing interest in product from Canadian sources. They also, however, see the investment as an opportunity to highlight long-established innovation trends within Canada’s farm sector.

Loblaws announces intention to support Canadian producers by purchasing more locally grown exotic fruits and vegetables.

“It’s an awesome piece to be making headlines,” says Kevin Howe, a field vegetable and fruit farmer from southwestern Ontario.

“It ties well with most farm business plans.”

More access for consumers On the field crop side, Howe believes changes at the large retail level – as opposed to small enterprises like farmers’ markets and roadside stands – are the only way most people will be able to access more Canadian produce. The Loblaws’ investment, he says, might promote season extension at the farm level to fill customer demands in off-peak times of the growing season.

He adds the conversations generated by the Loblaws’ investment decision could help raise awareness for trade issues like product dumping – where imported products are sold to domestic markets below the cost of production, thus undercutting local growers – and contextualize how prevalent the demand for Canadian-sourced food is among retail customers.

“It’s more of a political issue we face,” Howe says. “The true impact may not be a dramatic increase in

farm profitability.”

Valuable commitment Joe Sbrocchi, general manager for the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers’ Association, and Linda Delli Santi, executive director of the BC Greenhouse Growers’ Association, both say the corporate commitment is very valuable, though essentially a continuation of the innovation already expressed by Canadian greenhouse growers.

In the B.C. greenhouse sectors, Santi says growers continue to experiment with exotic crops such as bok choy, Asian eggplant and middle-eastern cucumber varieties.

This is in direct response to the diverse markets available and accessible to growers in the region.

“Loblaws is actually very supportive of the greenhouse sector,” Santi says. “Of course, we’re always changing and adapting to consumer demand. It’s our nature to be innovative.”

Responding to consumer demand Sbrocchi, too, says Ontario growers have been actively incorporating new crops and systems into their operations in response to significant consumer demand. Greenhouse strawberries, hot peppers, herbs and more are already widely grown and sold to large retailers.

“We’re always looking for ways to be more cost-competitive. There’s a lot of work being done in the greenhouse sector and in field crops,” Sbrocchi says. “You have to let the farmers do what they do best.”

Bottom line Loblaws’ intention to purchase traditionally imported fruits and vegetables for its stores from Canadian farmers will benefit producers and consumers. It will increase farm profitability, potentially increase the growing season and give consumers greater access to local product.

Lingering China/U.S. trade spat could have spin-offs for Canada As the United States and China ramp up tariffs or threats, both say each other’s action lack justification. At one point, sentiment was biased to this, expecting it to blow over, but the markets are now adjusted to the likelihood of this spat is unlikely getting better anytime soon.

The U.S. sees intellectual property theft as core root of action and, until China addresses it, the U.S. appears unlikely to show weakness. China says U.S. tariffs are basically illegal and shows no sign of weakness either.

It’s possible this won’t find resolve until spring 2019 at the earliest. At roughly that time, the World Trade Organization is apt to rule on China’s intellectual property theft allegation. If so, it’s likely China would appeal, a process that typically drags on for another three months. The point is, we need to keep an open mind to this process possibly lingering another year or more.

Thinking ahead While most are busy gearing up for harvest or focusing on agronomics, we should also think about what a lingering trade spat might directly

mean for a Canadian grain, oilseed and pulse farmers. Led by a 25 per cent tariff on imported U.S. origin soybeans, China is likely going to refrain from buying most U.S. origin agricultural products. Think about what might happen into 2019. How will the world: shift trade flows away from or to U.S. origin commodities? substitute into other commodities or other origins? add or lose demand, either outright or via substitution? do so with futures or basis or both? do it in a way with or without new government support programs? For example, will the U.S. choose to implement new policy to subsidize U.S. soybean farmers or will China do same but to subsidize importers? alter 2019 acreage patterns due to shifted relative economics?

And then there’s the link to Canada. As an example, if U.S.-origin soybeans are priced at the bottom of global oilseed hierarchy because the biggest oilseed buyer – Chine - is willing to pay $50 to $75 per tonne more for soybeans from another source, how fast will those countries plant more soybeans, and what type of soy acreage contraction will occur in the U.S.? If they take five to 10 million acres of U.S. soybeans and plunk that into corn, cotton, sorghum and any crop that soy has recently displaced in U.S. Northern Plain states (like wheat, durum, barley, oats, pulses), it doesn’t take long to shift the supply/ demand of those crops.

If South America adds five-plus million acres of soy, incremental area might come out of corn there, but much if it should be new land and

should not contain the area loss directly from crops that Western Canada grows.

Canadian trade already engaged Canada has already seen more interest from China for canola and field peas, so trade flow and basis change is already engaged. On July 12, the United States Department of Agriculture released its monthly World Agriculture Supply Demand estimates. China’s 2018-2019 soy import assumption was dropped from 103 million metric tonnes to 95 million metric tonnes, while crush dropped from 102 to 96.5 million metric tonnes.

This reflects incremental demand destruction and substitution. Unless driven by political change, the U.S. seems destined to become a more prominent residual oilseed supplier to the world. China looks poised to buy soybeans and different substitutes elsewhere at a speed that is faster than would be for buyers of South American soybeans to go to the U.S. instead.

Minimum impact This is a fast-moving story, but the impact on Canada in 2019 can be modest. Why? Canada has many smaller acreage crop choices whose competitor shifts can be more pronounced if a major producer starts shifting millions of acres of one crop to other commodities.

Bottom line There’s a lot to sort out as 2019 planning season unravels. Be agile and watch the crop acreage changes.

Demand drives the outlook for Canada’s red meat sectors for 2018

The Canadian hog sector was generally profitable in the first half of 2018, as we forecasted in January.

It was a mixed bag though: rising feed prices led to tight margins on finishing operations, while farrowto-finish operations recorded profits close to $20 per head on average. Those margins will be tested throughout the rest of 2018, largely because of trade tensions and growing pork supply in the U.S. Our forecast for the cattle sector has also held so far in 2018. Cowcalf operations have been profitable all year, a trend that’s likely to continue into 2019. Backgrounders and feedlots recorded negative margins in the first six months, with little relief in sight. Live cattle futures show a small increase between now and December, while feeder cattle futures look to hold steady.

The US$0.78 loonie helped boost Canadian revenues in both sectors during the first six months, offsetting increases to interest rates, and other farm input costs such as fuel and feed.

Hogs With hog inventories at January 1, 2018 up 2.7% year-over-year (YoY), and seasonal highs still expected to come, Canadian hog production continues to grow in 2018.

As of June, hog slaughter in Canada was down 1% YoY, but it’s expected to pick-up in the second half of 2018 with expanded processing capacity.

Canadian exports of feeder hogs to the U.S. declined 6.4% and slaughter hogs declined 9.6% YoY as of June 1. Increased U.S. hog production and slower-than-expected growth in slaughter expansion there helped produce the slowdown. The

U.S. is likely to see a further expansion in hog supply between June and December, bringing hog prices in the second half of 2018 down from the current level.

Canada’s pork exports to the U.S. also declined YoY between January and May 2018. While Canadian exports picked up a healthy 19% YoY growth to Mexico, and they’re growing in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines, an expected gain in exports to China failed to materialize in the first six months, perhaps because the Chinese hog herd’s continued growth has led to weaker import demand. Over the next six months, China’s production growth is expected to slow as Chinese hog profits face challenges.

Costs should stabilize throughout the remainder of 2018. Feed costs rose more than expected in the first half of the year, but with plenty of corn coming to market, feed barley should settle slightly over CA$5.00 per bushel. Any variation in Canadian profits in the hog sector will therefore most likely come from hog prices. Escalating trade tensions between the U.S and Mexico, and the U.S. and China and the resulting tariffs on U.S. pork exports may disrupt markets. Around 40% of U.S. exports typically wind up in those two countries. Fewer trade opportunities for U.S pork

may open the door for more Canadian pork exports, but also result in reductions in the hog price that Canadians receive.

Cattle As of January, the Canadian herd hadn’t seen any serious expansion.

2017 prices for fed heifers had continued to encourage processing over retention. There were 562,000 heifers for beef replacement onfarm, a small YoY decrease to start 2018.

At the end of June, Canadian slaughter at federally inspected plants was boosted 4.2% YoY. Fed steer (Alberta) prices exceeded same-month 2017 levels early this year but they’re not likely to maintain that pace throughout the rest of the year, as more cattle come to market. A decline in Canadian live animal exports to the U.S. so far in 2018 has also helped to boost Canadian beef production. That’s likely going to increase further by December, which would surpass the 0.2% increase for 2018 production cited in our January Outlook .

Beef demand continues to be strong, both domestically and globally.

Feed costs shouldn’t rise in the next six months, if expected increases to both Canadian and U.S. corn production occur. U.S./China trade tensions may indirectly influ

Outlook for Canada’s red meat sectors for 2018 continued ence profitability, via lower feed prices, as will dry weather conditions across prairie pastures and U.S. plains.

With more pork possibly hitting Canadian retailers in the next six months, beef prices may

be put to the test. Stocks of all frozen and chilled meats in cold storage were up 22.3% YoY in April.

Frozen beef stocks increased 12.6% and pork stocks rose 13.8% in the first four months of 2018.

The good news is that demand continues to be

strong, both domestically and globally. Canadian beef prices have come down 0.6% YoY in May. That trend may last until December and this is good news for the cattle sector. Global markets continue to buy Canadian beef: beef exports increased 86% in the last five years, with the U.S. leading the growth. Japan, Mexico and China have also stepped up their imports of Canadian beef.

Interest rates slowly trend up while the loonie hovers at US$0.78 Global market forces played a big part in Canadian competitiveness and the profitability of our agricultural sectors in 2018-to-date. Several macro factors did too – and while we didn’t get everything right, our forecasts in January help explain those trends.

Our January forecast of a US$0.78 loonie was right on the money up to mid-June (see illustration). But the Canadian economy relies on the strength of export sectors. Trade tensions, currently pushing the CAD lower, could continue to pressure the loonie below the $0.78 projected 2018 average.

Dealing with problem employees Your problem employee may just need a bit of support. Meet with this employee to review the situation and clarify what you expect. Explain the ways their current actions aren’t meeting the requirement and give them some help (show them what to do, give them guides or tools to assist).

Listen to the kinds of questions they have; these can give you a clue about what is going wrong.

During this meeting, be specific about what you expect, explain what the consequences will be if you don’t see improvements and set a date for your next discussion. Be sure to provide these details to the employee in writing during this meeting to avoid any confusion. A warning letter may be appropriate.

Closely monitor their work and document what you see. Getting the most out of your employees takes time and energy.

Put the effort in at this stage to help get a problem employee back on track by re-stating expectations, providing support, monitoring progress and communicating results. It may help you

avoid firing an inexperienced or uncertain employee, and speaks volumes to everyone in the business about your values.

However, if your problem employee doesn’t show progress, your next meeting will be to follow through on the stated consequences. Firing an employee is a last resort, one that should only come after extensive effort and careful planning by management.

From an administrative perspective, an employer wants to increase legal defensibility – ensuring their employee knows what is required of them, measuring performance fairly and accurately, documenting poor performance, providing continuous feedback and providing an opportunity to improve (including sufficient time and guidance). However, motivating the problem employee and all other employees who watch how you handle the situation is just as important.

Employers want to be perceived as being fair and ensure the employee has everything needed

to do the job. Ensure the problem employee has a high level of self-efficacy. Not the same as selfesteem, self-efficacy is job-specific – does the employee believe they can do the job? An employee’s level of self-efficacy can be affected by many things: has the employer told them what is expected? Do they have the skills, tools, resources and time they need? If an employee is not performing well, it is often because they lack self-efficacy.

Perceptions of fairness, specifically procedural fairness, is also extremely important. Procedural fairness refers to how performance is measured, how discipline is applied, who gets what, etc. The procedures used to handle this situation will be closely scrutinized by all employees, so ensure they’re transparent as well as fair.

A problem employee can lead to a toxic work culture. Sometimes, letting an employee go is the only way to deal with the situation, but only after sufficient attention has been spent on a fair and legally defensible discipline process.

An important and key anniversary On Saturday May 5th, I was blessed to be the only reporter and the only female in attendance at the 10th Anniversary Cpl. Michael Starker Graveside visit by the Veterans MC Canada.

Killed in an ambush by the Taliban 10 years ago on May 6th, 2008, Cpl. Michael Starker was a Calgary Paramedic and a co-founding member of the Veterans MC Canada.

I’d known Mike for a little over a year before he was killed, and I had attended his deployment party, a party where Haley and Dave got engaged, and two other members were also getting ready to deploy. Over the course of our friendship, I had learned to appreciate Mike’s unique sense of humor and it cracked me up how he could push the buttons of Anthony, the other co founder of the Veterans MC Canada. Those two could not have been more different from one another if they tried and they provided countless hours of amusement and entertainment for those who knew them!

I was honoured to be the person to capture the graveside visit and to be allowed to share it with everyone else in our community. This is a rare glimpse into the Veterans MC Canada and the brotherhood that exists because of the rigorous vetting and mutual histories and hobbies that these men share.

Bright and early on Saturday morning, I was picked up at my friends place in Airdrie by Sean Ellis, a man who has also become my friend and who happens to be a prospect in the Veterans MC Canada.

We arrived at the clubhouse in Calgary and the smells wafting out of the back yard had my mouth watering. Fozzy, another prospect was serving coffee, eggs, sausage and pancakes.

Fozzy is an interesting character; he speaks with an English accent but spent a good amount of his time with the Veterans MC Netherlands and it was him that I was directed to talk to find out more about the history of the Veterans MC and the various chapters around the world and their involvement in an alliance called the Brothers in Arms.

After a big scarf and being introduced to a

good number of the 24 club members who would be attending at the graveside, it was time to head out for Queens Park Cemetery.

I rode with Prospect Sean who had all of the graveside amenities already loaded into his SUV. I came down by car with hubby for his birthday celebration at a friend’s place in Airdrie – his bike isn’t ready to ride just yet so I wasn’t riding either, not if I wanted some time with hubby :( We pulled into Queens Park Cemetery, and walked over to Michael’s grave.

A bouquet of green and white flowers from the club was placed on his marker.

A lot of the men who are a part of this MC today never met Mike. They didn’t experience his brand of friendship, loyalty, mischievousness etc.

Telling the same stories year after year, making sure that each new comer to the club learns about its co founder and his values, is a task left to people like the National President, Kris Dlouhy.

Every year he does his best to educate the newcomers about the philosophy & sense of brotherhood on which this club was founded.

Like every other year, Kris spoke of Mike and his values and while his voice cracked, he held his composure together for the most part.

After some tears, some cheers and a few photos, everyone headed back to the clubhouse. One of the wives had made spaghetti sauce and that was the first smell that hit you when you walked in the door. Instantly people were ready for a late lunch and so it was decided that we’d go to a local pub for growlies.

Unfortunately the food and the service were as Kris put it, “A Sh$t Show”.

After the luncheon disappointment, it was back to the clubhouse and by now you could smell the spaghetti sauce out in the back yard too. I didn’t think I was going to make it until suppertime!

Some of the gents had to head back home as they had to work the next day, but in their stead came more club members, many of whom brought their significant others. The back yard was full, so was the front yard and the house itself. There were people everywhere.

After an amazing supper, (and Melanie, that was amazing spaghetti sauce…), many of the different riding clubs that make up the fabric of the Calgary Motorcycle scene started dropping in.

The show of respect was evident from every RC that showed up.

The prospects, all 8 of them were busy ensuring that every guest was being looked after. They kept the yard clean, the beverages flowing and were offering all of the new comers a bite to eat should they be hungry.

I spent a lot of time hanging back when I could, just people watching.

I watched young men like Pork Chop work his way through the guests and make sure that everyone was taken care of and he did it with such joy and reverence that I had to smile. Likewise, Matt was just as considerate and efficient in taking care of the club’s guests. They all were.

If Mike was alive today, I think he’d be some proud.

The quality of the young veteran, or serving member that comprises this club is really remarkable. I watch the way they work together, ride together, move together and I can’t help but think that the training these folks undergo, no matter the division, makes it so that they can work side by side in a precise fashion even if they have never worked together before.

I hear a lot of people throw that word brotherhood around, but I am here to tell you that the average person that thinks they know what brotherhood really is, probably doesn’t have a clue.

“Brotherhood is an unconditional love that I feel for my brother. I would do anything to support or help my brother, anytime, anywhere. If this (prospecting) doesn’t work out for me, then I will become a lone wolf because I don’t want to be a part of any club. I want to be a part of THIS CLUB because of what it represents.” Pork Chop.

Digital tools are making the inroads easier on farms

Veteran Saskatchewan grain producer Kleven MacDougall says it’s both physically and mentally

exhausting to manually control switches on booms when spraying for disease control.

“It’s a real pain,” says MacDougall, who farms 3,800 acres of wheat and canola with his brother Larry in Langbank, 180 kilometres east of Regina. “You can never relax. By the end of the day you’re played out.”

All changed two years ago when the brothers switched to spraying canola fungicide using a new digital farming tool.

Zone Spray, a feature of Bayer’s Field Manager suite of digital or precision farming tools, uses satellite imagery and other data to provide producers with field-level control over when, where and how much fungicide to apply using technology that is already available in their equipment cabs.

“It makes spraying so much easier,” MacDougall says, one of roughly 300 canola producers in Western Canada who began using the tool as part of a pilot project in 2016.

Growing use of precision ag tools The MacDougall are not alone.

Across Canada and around the world, producers are turning increasingly to the many networked precision agricultural tools being researched and developed to make farms more efficient, productive and sustainable. FCC Express recently reported that in its second annual survey of field data management software on Canadian farms, Stratus Ag Research found just over 34 per cent of the 700 farms surveyed are using one or more of the 20 field data management software solutions available in Canada.

Many of those ideas and products were on display in recent weeks at two major international digital farming events, including the International Conference on Precision Agriculture in Montreal, Que. and the InfoAg Conference in St. Louis, Mo. “There are so many data points and variables in agricultural production,” says Chris Paterson of Bayer Canada’s CropScience digital farming arm. “Everything from time of planting, variety and the type and time and amount of fertilizer or fungicides to apply to weather patterns and rainfall.”

Paterson says precision agriculture helps correlate information with soil test results, drainage and other factors that influence yield to help producers make the right decisions at the right times. He says digital farming will continue to make inroads into the everyday reality of modern farming.

Hicham Bencharki agrees – to a point.

“The technology of precision farming is moving well, but I think the adaption by producers is still a little slow,” says Bencharki, director of digital products and innovation at La Coop fédérée.

The Coop fédérée has three main precision agriculture products: digital field record keeping, scouting, an in-season pest monitoring mobile app, and the Portal, a new interface that easily connects growers with the company.

According to Bencharki, producers with a half-million acres of crops in production in Eastern Canada have already signed on the new tool since it went live in February.

He says the Coop fédérée’s goal now is to continue developing and integrating precision agriculture tools in an effort to create a single “end to end” digital solution.

“Growers need user-friendly solutions and help to manage all the data they get,” Bencharki says, pointing to an in-house survey that found 45 per cent of growers who use precision agriculture do so profitability.

“The need and desire are there, but it’s up to companies like ours to provide the user-friendly tools growers need to take full advantage of PA.” Bottom line Digital farming continues to make inroads into the everyday reality of modern farming, while ag tech companies are working to create user-friendly solutions to increase uptake.

Ag tech experts predict digital farming will continue to make inroads into the everyday reality of modern farming.
