The Northern Horizon, July 20, 2018

Advancing innovation in Canada’s beef sector with $14 million The Canadian beef sector is a strong economic driver, accounting for $9 billion in farm cash receipts in 2017. Exports of Canadian beef and cattle totalled nearly $2.41 billion in 2017.

Canadian beef producers are working hard to ensure they continue to create good, middle-class jobs while expanding markets for their safe, high-quality products.

While attending the Calgary Stampede, federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lawrence MacAulay, announced an investment of up to $14 million to the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC), a division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA), under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, AgriScience Clusters.

The BCRC will contribute up to an additional $7.6 million, for a total investment of up to $21 million.

Funding for the Sustainable Beef and Forage Science Cluster will be used for activities focussed on improving the sustainability of Canadian beef and forage production, growing beef exports and supplying high-quality Canadian beef to people around the world. The Beef Cluster was funded under two previous agricultural policy frameworks.

The previous research activities, which looked at genetics, feed efficiency, forages and animal health, have contributed to a strong and more competitive beef sector and sustained producer profitability.

The Minister is meeting with farmers, processors and industry leaders, and will also participate in rural agricultural events, to highlight

strategic federal agricultural investments and programs - including those recently launched under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership—and how they will help to build an even stronger and more innovative sector for Canada.

“Canadian farmers and ranchers

know the importance of innovation in maintaining their competitiveness, and that’s especially true in Canada’s beef sector. Investments in research deliver real results, and help to ensure our beef farmers continue to raise top quality beef,” says MacAulay.

Breakfast Brief

“Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen.”

– Pete Carroll (NFL Football Coach) JULY WASDE PROVIDES MIXED SUPPORT FOR GRAIN MARKETS Grain markets this morning are mixed after the USDA released its July WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates) report yesterday (July 12), which, as per usual, provided a reset of the goalposts when it comes to global agricultural supplies and demand. This report stood out mainly because it gave a strong indication of just how the implementation of a trade war is influencing flows of commodities around the world.

Our Garrett Baldwin provided real-time analysis of the July WASDE report as it came out. Corn prices and soybean prices were higher after the report, suggesting that maybe a bottom was priced in!

This was part of the thesis in yesterday’s FarmLead Breakfast Brief, as I wondered out loud if the July 2018 WASDE could stop the bleeding in grain markets. However, we’re seeing lower corn prices and soybean prices this morning, and canola prices are also trending lower.

Specifically for corn, the USDA’s July WASDE report showed the market that American farmers would produce 14.23 billion bushels of corn in 2018. This figure is 190 million bushels higher than June but still below last year’s crop and the five-year average. Most eyes were glued to demand numbers in the July WASDE, but the by-product of this is ending stocks: US 2018/19 corn carryout will come in at 1.55 billion bushels. This would be a 23% decline from last year’s carryout of 2.03 Billion bushels!

Bullish Canola, Bearish Soybeans in July WASDE? For soybeans, the July WASDE report showed the market that American farmers would produce 4.31 billion bushels of soybeans in 2018. This figure is 30 million bushels higher than what the USDA reported in June 2018. Compared to the five-year average of 3.98 billion bushels, 2018/19 American soybean production is 8.2% higher.

The big surprise for American soybeans, though, was in the ending stocks number. Average trade expectations before the report were 471 million bushels still left in the pipeline as of the end of 2018/19. However, the USDA said there’ll be 580 million bushels available. This is up 51% from the June report and 25% more than where the 2017/18 carryout ended up!

For canola/rapeseed, US production was increased, but globally, production was felled by 2.63 million tonnes in this July WASDE report from last month’s. The decline of world rapeseed production was mostly attributed to production cuts in EU (down 9% year-over-year), Canada (down 2% year-over-year), and China (down 1.4% year-over-year).

Comparably, India’s 2018/19 rapeseed production is expected to increase by 11% year-over-year.

Cereals Earn Neutral-to-Bearish July WASDE Conversely, spring wheat prices and winter wheat prices are trying to stick around in the green this morning.

For winter wheat prices, we’ve known for a while that US and global production has been trending lower.

Granted, the US winter wheat harvest this year of 1.12 billion bushels will be bigger than last year; it is 18% lower than the five-year average.

For hard red spring wheat, US production is expected to jump nearly 52% year-over-year to 584 million bushels. For all colours of spring wheat, US production in 2018/19 was pegged at 614 million bushels, 15 million more than what the market was expecting and 48% higher year-over-year.

The US barley balance sheet also had some notable changes to it, especially around ending stocks, which more than doubled from the June report to this, the July WASDE report. This contradicted what was seen on the international stage as global ending stocks were lowered for both 2017/18 and 2018/19 crop years.

Overall, this WASDE report seemed to be fairly neutral across the grain markets. Yes, there are some changing trade winds, which the USDA accounted for a bit in this report, but the question I’m asking now is might we see even more changes in the next WASDE report, out on Friday, August 10.

Producers welcome changes to wheat grading system Farmers say changes coming in the way Western Canadian wheat is graded should relieve a bit of stress come harvest time.

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-andheat 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.

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.

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.

Hello folks, we’re here this edition with some information on an interesting pest we have been monitoring, the Click Beetle. Many producers in the region have encountered Wireworms/Click Beetles of the family Elateridae, and potentially have had Wireworm damage to their pasture land, forage crop or even cereal crops. As of June this year the BC Prairie Pest Monitoring has placed out 64 Vernon Pitfall traps at 7 locations throughout the BC Peace monitoring Click Beetles. We are working closely with Federal Entomologists Jennifer Otani from Beaverlodge and Wim Van Herk from Agassiz on this project over the coming years to identify species that are present and their abundance here in the region.

Wireworms are a soil pest that will generally feed on the root system of grasses, forages and cereal crops in the Prairies. They have a complex life cycle which makes both control and research of them difficult. A wireworm is the larvae (Figure 1) of the adult Click Beetle (Figures 2-3); in layman’s terms the Wireworm is the equivalent of a human from birth through to adolescence.

From there the Wireworm undergoes a change to a Click Beetle (its adult form). As seen in figures 2-3, size varies greatly from specie to specie with a range of millimetres to a couple centimetres.

Wireworm issues; signs would be similar to drainage problems as shown in Figure 4 inside the yellow circle. Plants will be stunted in growth and will start to yellow a bit, the heavier the feeding the greater increase in yellowing and stunting. Wireworm movement in soils is temperature dependant and so you may see patches affected of varying size as they move vertically through the soil based on soil temperatures. Wireworms tend to feed at two key times of the year, one being spring and the other being fall. For next season if you have concerns the general time to start scouting is when you see Dandelions starting to flower. As we have just begun to monitor in this region we are seeing click beetle presence across the region and have much more work to do in the coming years.

We hope that you have found todays Pest of the Week interesting and will check out our Facebook page Peace River Forage Seed Association - Pest Monitoring for further seasonal updates.

Here’s a view: barns and arenas from the horse perspective an open concept: the horse in the stall will get upset when a person rides by or the horse being ridden will be distracted, worried and hard to handle. Yes, maybe, sure shouldn’t be, but the horse will remain that way unless they can be exposed to it.

Horses prefer to be in as open a space as is available. The best barns and/or arenas you could build are the ones that are as open as you can build them. For example, have the riding area of your barn open to the box stalls. This way you and all the horses in the indoor arena are able to see from one side to the other. Seeing as much as possible - preferably the length of the arena - is the best design. For the horse and rider it seems like you’re riding in a much bigger area than you actually are.

In an arena that is built in this manner it allows all horses to see and hear all the things that are going on in the arena. Some would say that would upset the horse. I would say then that if that was all it took to upset your horse much work is needed. The more horses are sheltered and hidden away from noises and activities the worse the horse becomes. Horses should gain more and become better because of human involvement not worse. The more they are exposed to things

WILLOWVIEW AUCTIONS LTD. RACE BRED QUARTER HORSE

Go stand in your bathroom and leave the door open a bit. Stay there all winter, except for an hour a day, and see if by spring you start chewing on the sink. Mentally and emotionally it would be much tougher than being able to see out three or four sides of your bathroom, visit with the person on either side of you, watch TV, watch supper being made or watch someone vacuuming. Even if you couldn’t participate, at least this gives your mind something to do. Horses in the open stalls get to watch the other horses canter by, the arena groomed with the tractor, the watering system turned on, the alleyway cleaned, maybe a tractor in the alley with a wagon hauling manure, hay coming and going, the farrier, the shavings truck, the jumps being set up, the ropers galloping by, someone getting bucked off and so on. Which is much better than looking at a wall.

- noise, movement, activity, sights - the calmer and smarter they become. They will be getting used to all kinds of things without you going near them. You are, in reality, to some extent training every horse in the barn without going near them.

I have seen it happen over and over again, the barns where the horses are segregated, with closed- in stalls, that see and hear little to nothing other than the opening at the front of their stall, are the horses with the most problems. The more they are sheltered and caged the more issues that develop and the less they can handle because they never get to see or experience anything.

The things I’ve heard in regard to not having

If the rider can’t get their horse to stay with them then that is big red flag to many issues.

Avoiding the area or getting everyone else to stop what they’re doing is not the answer to the problem. If only enhances the problem. If a horse gets upset by other horses moving around or by a noise in the arena, then someone has spent a lot of time sheltering this horse and he needs help.

Seeing and hearing things, is exactly what the horse has been missing.

The other one I hear is that dust gets to the horses in the stalls. If it is so dusty in the arena that it is affecting the horses in the stalls then it is also really bad for the horses cantering around in it breathing heavily. So water it!

Like everyone else, it seems that I just do not have the time I would like to ride all my horses and the young ones we have coming up. However, when they are in our arena they are all getting to see everything that is going on, so I’m able to accelerate all the amazing things a horse should know. Anything that will help them become calmer, braver, smarter more athletic is of interest to me. As I said earlier horses should become more because of us. We are doing a real disservice to them if they become less because of us.

Alsike clover poisoning in the Peace country Dr. Christa Harder Every summer we treat horses for alsike clover poisoning. It can be a very serious toxicosis and depending on the amount eaten can lead to the death of a horse. Not every horse on a pasture will be affected as some will selectively eat alsike clover over other forages.

Alsike clover contains a pyrrolizidine alkaloid that causes liver damage. Alsike can have a white, pink or red flower. It can be differentiated from red or white clover as alsike clover leaves do not usually have a white water mark and the flower stem originates from the main stem off the main stalk as separate leaflet stems. Unfortunately most of the clover you see in the peace area is alsike clover.

The most common symptoms that people see and are aware of are the sunburn or “photosensitization”. Often people think their horses have “scratches” as they get scabs and sores on the backs of their heels. The scabs are actually a result of sunburn and usually

are seen on white feet. Sometimes white faces and noses will scab and peel and in severe cases, we have seen white patches on paints bodies burn and peel. Unfortunately this is just the surface and what is going on inside your horse as a result of the clover poisoning is much worse.

Liver damage causes the symptoms that we see.

Not every horse will show photosensitization, and not every horse has white skin. Another sign of clover poisoning is weight loss for no obvious reason. When the liver is damaged it cannot convert the digested products into the sugars that the body needs to survive. Sometimes we will also see horses that act a little bit colicky (like they have a stomach ache).

If the liver damage is severe the horse can develop encephalitis or brain swelling. These horses may show altered behaviour (sleepiness, aggression), are weak, and sometimes can have seizures.

Diagnosis is based on the symptoms, a history of clover in the diet,

and blood work that demonstrates liver damage. Mucus membranes (gums) and the sclera (white area on the eyes) are often yellowish tinged. Unfortunately there is no magic treatment for liver damage so we do our best to make it easier for the liver to function. The liver is unique in that it has an amazing ability to regenerate itself, however if the liver is very severely damaged it may not be able compensate. In severe cases horses can die.

If you suspect your horse is suffering from clover poisoning, contact your veterinarian. An important first step in treatment is to remove the source of the alsike clover. Take them off pasture or remove contaminated hay source.

Feed grass hay, no clover or alfalfa as they are high in protein and create unnecessary work for the damaged liver. Get your horse out of the sunlight to minimize the damage to his skin. There are medicated creams available to help the skin heal and to treat any infections that might set into the damaged skin. At the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic we can provide some recipes and

15

ideas for homemade diets to feed to horses with liver disease.

Pasture management is very important and often involves spraying to kill broad leaf plants. Some products have residual effects and can work for a few years. Consult with your agro chemical specialist about which product would work you.

There is a common misconception that clover is fine once it is dry and in hay but it can still have toxic effects in this state. When buying hay inquire about clover and look through the bales.

If caught early the prognosis for most horses is great. More severe cases require a lot of extra care and time to see if they will recover. Unfortunately alsike clover is growing all over the Peace Country. Please check your pasture and hay and watch for any signs of alsike clover poisoning in your horses. If you have any further questions about alsike clover poisoning please contact us at the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic.

20 The Northern Horizon, July 20, 2018

These are some words on SARDA Ag Research summer programs

As always, SARDA has a busy year planned full of interesting new trials and outreach events dedicated to informing the public.

In 2018, we are running 71 trials across 5 different municipal districts so that our information can be as relevant to farmers as possible. This totals up to a staggering 3082 individual plots that much each be seeded and carefully maintained while applying the proper treatments at the proper times and collecting data relevant to the study. We have a full crew of summer students ready to get their hands dirty: Joseph and Joshua Sylvain, Tyler Yoder, Robyn Simoneau, and Dave Cloutier. You can see their full introductions in our June edition of the Back Forty.

We have a few new additions in those 72 trials that promise some interesting results. This year we are starting two long-running trials testing crop sequence strategies. In our Novelty Rotation, we are testing a crop sequence that features crops not commonly seen in the Peace Region, such as flax, fababeans, quinoa, and hemp, along with more common crops such as wheat, barley, canola, and peas. This will provide farmers with information on how novelty crops could potentially fit into their current crop rotations. We are also trialling a crop rotation meant to manage fusarium head blight by featuring non-host crops.

The rotation features wheat, barley, canola, peas, corn, and flax.

We are also starting a deep banding trial that tests the deep banding of fertilizer once every 3 years with the more traditional annual fertilization at the same time as seeding. We are testing various fertilizer types on canola, peas, and wheat. Deep banding means that fertilizer is placed at 5-6” depth compared to the usual 2” or less depth. The hope is that deep banding of fertilizer will help prevent the deficiency of active root zones resulting from long-term direct

GEN

ETIC

S TH

seeding. We hope that this information will help farmers decide on a strategy that works the best for their farm.

Our SARVTs also make a return this year.

These trials compare varieties of wheat and peas that are commonly grown in the area to new and upcoming varieties. The goal is for farmers to be able to look at a variety they might grow on their farm currently and compare it to a variety they are interested in growing. We are testing 21 wheat varieties and 7 pea varieties in 3 different municipalities: Smoky River, Spirit River, and Greenview. Farmers can view the SARVT trials for themselves through our footprints self-guided tour, or visit our website for the report and published data.

Speaking of our website, SARDA is now focusing on a greater distribution of information through the Internet. Our membership is now completely free. Signing up via our website gets you subscribed to our newsletter, where we share interesting articles and agricultural news, along with information about upcoming events and links to digital copies of our publications. This year we’ve added a digital archive of our annual report to the website, divided by year and trial.

This is an easy way to see our data from previous years, including our 2017 year, so check it out at http://sarda.ca/annual-research-reports. Our website also features a list of upcoming events from us or from our partners and sister organizations across Alberta. Watch our Events page to find information sessions near you.

We’re getting ready for our biggest event of the summer, the Summer Field School. This year we’re shaking things up quite a bit! Rather than a day event, we’re shifting to an afternoon and supper event, featuring barbequed rib-eye steak!

We will host several presentations in field: Becky Devaleriola will speak about the Alternative Land

Use Services program; NorQuin will share information about quinoa using our quinoa plots; and our own agronomy experts will talk about our deep banding trial and will be on-site to explain numerous other trials and plots. After the information sessions, you’ll be bussed back to our shop for its grand opening and supper, where you’ll be free to look around at our equipment along with informational displays, all while listening to the Small Town Drifters perform! Our displays include municipal representatives talking about their unique programs, Bear Smart, the Environmental Farm Plan, the Farm Energy and Agri-Processing Program, and many more. We’re incredibly excited about this event, especially because we’ve radically dropped the price: you can get all this for only $20.

If you can’t make it to the Summer Field School, it’s still possible to see our plots. Every year our trial sites are open to the public, and this year’s no exception. At each site an information booklet will be provided, featuring a map of the site and detailed information on each trial and the treatments within the trial. All the trials will have signs to tell you what they are, and our SARVTs will feature detailed information for each variety within the trial. You can get the directions to our trial sites on our website www.sarda.ca on the right hand side of our homepage.

We’ll also be hosting Crop Walks on August 14 and 15, from 2-4 pm. These Walks will feature our SARVT Wheat trial, with seed representatives presenting on the unique properties of their variety. It’ll be an incredibly informational look at how different varieties grow in the region, and it might help you make decisions for next year’s season.

We’ll be announcing and hosting other events throughout the year, so be sure to check www. sarda.ca or sign up for our newsletter!

Bacon pancakes. All you need to know about this breakfast of champions INGREDIENTS 1 lb. thin bacon cooked & crumbled 6 large eggs separated into egg whites and egg yolks 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon 4 teaspoons, total baking powder ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon kosher salt 3 cups whole milk ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon almond extract 12 tablespoons ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted 2 tablespoons butter for cooking Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place a cooling rack over a baking sheet to use to keep the cooked pancakes warm.

Cut bacon into 1/8 inch pieces and fry until crisp (or to your liking). Transfer crisp bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set it aside until ready to use. The bacon can be cooked up to 4 days prior to using, but keep the cooked bacon in the refrigerator. Pour the bacon grease in a heatproof dish to cool, then place it, covered, in the fridge to use in other recipes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently transfer the beaten egg whites to another large bowl and set them aside until ready to use.

In the same mixing bowl, combine egg yolks,

milk, melted butter and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated – about 2 minutes.

Add the flour mixture to the egg yolk mixture and stir just until all flour is wet. The batter will be lumpy.

Gently fold half of the beaten egg whites into the batter. Now, fold in the remaining half of the beaten egg whites. The egg whites should NOT be fully incorporated into the batter.

Heat a griddle until hot and add 1-tablespoon butter. Pour 2 tablespoons batter, per pancake, onto the griddle. The griddle should hold 4 pancakes at one time.

Sprinkle cooked bacon pieces over the pancakes while the batter is still raw. When bubbles form on the top of the pancakes (about 2 minutes), check the undersides to see if they are golden brown. If ready, flip the pancakes over (*Do NOT flip the pancakes over until the tops have bubbles) and continue cooking about 1-2 min-

The Northern Horizon, July 20, 2018

$6.3 million to keep Canadian crop farmers on the cutting edge change, improving the sustainability of crops in multi-crop, whole-farm cropping systems, and knowledge and technology transfer. This is the first AgriScience Cluster focussed solely on agronomy research.

Today’s announcement is part of Minister MacAulay’s “Growing Canadian Agriculture” tour, where he will meet with farmers, processors and industry leaders, as well as participate in rural agricultural events across the country, to hear ideas on how to capture new growth opportunities for the sector.

“Research and innovation are vital to growing and sustaining Canadian crop production. Demand for our grains and other field crops continues to grow around the world and the Government of Canada is working hard to help farmers meet that demand, today and for years to come, through strategic investments in science and cutting edge research,” says MacAulay.

“Producers face many agronomic challenges that cut across multiple crops. The focus of this Cluster is to use an integrated approach to study agronomic issues for everything from soil health, crop rotations, adapting to climate change and dealing with threats such as weeds, insects and

disease. The research projects included address many of these agronomic challenges and will aim to find solutions to production threats, as well as further develop sustainable and resilient cropping systems,” chimed in Dr. Keith Degenhardt, Chair of the Research Committee, Western Grain Research Foundation.

Canadian field crops accounted for 158.7 million acres in 2016, with 2017 crop receipts totalled $34.1 billion.

The Canadian Agricultural Partnership is a five-year, $3 billion investment by federal, provincial and territorial governments to strengthen the agriculture and

agri-food sector. The Partnership builds on Growing Forward 2, the previous five-year agreement that ended on March 31, 2018.

Canada’s productive agricultural lands are an important asset for our hardworking farmers, a strategic resource essential for maintaining global food security and the sector’s continued profitability. Over the last 35 years, Canada’s average crop area per farm has doubled, accounting for over 90 million acres in 2016, or nearly 60 percent of total farm area. Research plays a critical role in sustaining and managing Canadian crop production.

Today, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lawrence MacAulay, announced an investment of up to $6.3 million in funding to the Western Grains Research Foundation for a five-year Integrated Crop Agronomy Cluster under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, AgriScience Program. With an added industry contribution of up to $2.7 million, up to $9.0 million will be directed to agronomy research into multi-crop, integrated crop production that will help keep farmers on the leading edge.

Agronomy, or the science and practice of crop production and farmland management, brings together knowledge of how plants, soils, insects, microorganisms and climate interact with each other in a given area. Research completed under this science cluster will focus on resiliency to climate

POWERFUL COMFORTABLE AND BEST OF ALL AFFORDABLE.

When it comes to hay and cattle farming, there’s never a moment’s rest.

But there can be a lot more comfort. The Kubota M6S series was built to be easier on its operator, with a fully loaded cold climate cab, more manoeuvrability in tight spaces and a more ergonomical design. It was also built with the power and performance you come to expect from Kubota and a little something you didn’t expect: an affordable price tag.

40 The Northern Horizon, July 20, 2018

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.

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 un-

less 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.

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

Stacking your bales

When it comes to stacking bales, a little forethought can go a long way to ensure a better product. Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre explains why some methods are better than others.

“Storage losses from improperly stacked bales can be anywhere from 15 to 20 per cent of the dry matter yield while protein and energy losses can be anywhere from five to ten per cent,” says Yaremcio. “It takes a lot of time and money to put up a good quality hay, so why risk losing 10 to 15 per cent of your

productivity by just not stacking the bales properly?”

Before bringing the bales home, Yaremcio recommends mowing the grass that is already present in the feed yard. “This helps reduce a lot of the moisture and soil-tobale contact, and it helps prevent bottom spoilage. If possible store the bales in a high area, so the bales don’t end up sitting in water after a rain.”

Leave two to three feet between the rows of bales, and stack them from northwest to southeast to allow

the prevailing winds to blow through them.

Says Yaremcio, “This space allows the wind to blow the snow from between the bales, so the snow doesn’t melt and water accumulate between the bales come spring.”

Different methods for stacking bales in the field can affect their quality.

best method, however, if you have the space, is to put single bales in rows with the individual bales separated by about six to ten inches so they don’t touch.”

If using a tarp, leave the ends open so air can blow between the

tarp and bales. “Build the stack so it aligns with the prevailing wind. That way, the wind can carry any moisture away that has evaporated out of the bales and condensed on the inside of the tarp away from the bales so before it drops

back onto the bales and causes damage,” adds Yaremcio.

For more information, call the Alberta Ag-Info Centre at 310FARM (3276).

The pyramid style - with three bales on the bottom, two in the middle, and one on the top – is the poorest way to stack hay, according to Yaremcio. “When it rains or when the snow melts, all the moisture moves from the top down between the bales and through the stack. It causes spoilage wherever the bales contact each other.”

The mushroom stack - with the flat side of the bottom bale flat on the ground and the second one on top - is better than the pyramid but still will end up with a lot damage, says Yaremcio. “The

Latest interest rate rise shows economic and business optimism cant risks to the Canadian and global economies.

Higher interest rates are going to raise farm expenses for operations that have a significant portion of their debt under a variable rate. Interest rates remain historically low, and it is still possible to insure against future rates hikes by locking in interest rates. While we cannot rule out the possibility of another rate increase before the end of the year, economic uncertainty looms and it may prove difficult for the BoC to go ahead with another hike in 2018. There is no single right answer when it comes to interest rates, do what’s best for your operation.

of the loonie’s value. The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to continue raising interest rates, at a slightly faster pace than Canada, lowering the probability to see the loonie appreciate against the U.S. dollar.

Despite improvements to the Canadian economy, the BoC issued a cautionary outlook for the remainder of 2018, meaning this could be the last rate hike in 2018. The BoC indicated that concerns over high household debt have eased as household debt has slowed in relation to disposable income and the Canadian housing market is beginning to stabilize. However, the BoC indicated that trade uncertainty and global trade tensions remain the most signifi-

On July 11th, the Bank of Canada (BoC) raised its key interest rate by 25 basis points and released their quarterly Monetary Policy Report. This is the second increase in 2018 after the January rate hike.

The decision to raise Canada’s key interest rate 25 basis points is backed by stronger economic growth and inflation remaining higher than BoC’s 2% target.

The decision to raise Canada’s key interest rate is backed by solid economic growth and inflation remaining higher than BoC’s 2% target (annual inflation rate in May 2018 was 2.2%). Canadian average wages continue to grow, as the labour market remains tight. The BoC also cited widespread optimism towards the economy from businesses that believe it will be harder to supply the demand they face without further investment.

The risk of a rising loonie have eased since January 2018 given projections of U.S. economic growth. The spread between interest rates in Canada and the U.S. is a major driver

Peace Region Pest Update – Growth Regulator ` Hello Peace Region! This week’s pest update is taking a slightly different angle than usual as we discuss the ins and outs of Plant Growth Regulator (PGR). Within the last few decades, it has become increasingly more common to use PGR as a means to increase crop yield and manage the stand. In fact, a three-year project was conducted locally by the Peace Region Forage Seed Association (PRFSA) exploring the effects of the PGR’ trinexapac- ethyl (TE) and chlormequat chloride (CCC) .

TE is a foliar spray used post emergence and is moved through the plant via the phloem to areas where the plant feels it is needed. Chlormequat chloride (CCC) is commonly packaged in the form of a salt and is water soluble in the plant. Alsike, and Red Clover plants where used to observe the effects of those two PGR’s for the purpose of the project in the peace. To read more about this study, see the link: http://www.peaceforageseed.ca/forage_fact_sheets.html So, what exactly is a Plant Growth Regulator?

Growth regulator is a naturally occurring process within plants where a chemical response (much like a hormone) is released to produce an effect to help the plants overall health. For many, as soon as they hear of a hormone or chemical being used on products, they immediately think that it is harmful in some way. We are here this week though to ease your worries on the topic and explain the many positive uses and outcomes of it. PGR is different from the often-feared Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) because it does not change the DNA of the plant in anyway.

It simply regulates the natural growth processes within the plant to achieve optimal growth and therefore, yield.

What would warrant the use of a Plant Growth Regulator? It is used to control the development of a plant so that it reaches optimal growth standards. The PGR chemical applicant TE and CCC that were studied in the peace region particularly affect the hormone in the plant called Gibberellic acid, which is responsible for promoting elongation of the tiller (the tiller is the part of the plant

which develops to flower and eventually seed).

This can be used on several types of plants including cereals, legumes and grasses.

Results of the Clover study in the Peace region show that TE reduced stem length, the effect of lodging (when the plant gets to tall and falls in on itself), and plant desiccation. PGR is applied as a foliar spray, and application timing/rates vary depending on the species of plant and growth regulator used. As a rule of thumb though, it has been found to be most effective when applied at early stem elongation (growth stage 30-32) or as a split application between growth stages 32 and 50 (stem elongation – heading) in the case of clover as seen in the study.

That’s all for this week, hopefully we have eased your worries on the topic of Plant Growth Hormones. If you have any further questions you’d like answered, please feel free to contact us. See you next week where we will introduce Wheat Midge!

Stories and recollections from the settlers of Cotillion, Silver Valley & Fourth Creek

When Flossie Haugland got We moved from SK and arrived at Blueberry Mountain on April 2, 1953 where we stayed with Herman Hindmarch until school finished in June. We moved to our Fourth Creek homestead on November 1,

1953. Seven of us lived in a 12 x 14 granary until a log house was built.

We moved into the log house on December 23, 1953 and we felt like we’d moved into a mansion!

Collie Corner

By Carol Nelson

Thoughts on the Pink Mountain Stock Dog clinic Participants in the weekend clinic in Pink Mountain saw a few rain showers as well as some sunshine and clouds over the two days. The cool weather provided comfortable working temperatures for dogs as well as sheep and cattle.

Participating in a clinic is a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle. It is a place where handlers can find new information and fit this info into their daily work and training. It is an opportunity to view other dogs working tactics and how handlers shape and grow each individual dog to the next level.

One of the main focuses for handlers was learning how to take stock to a specific destination while only asking the dog for a start command and a lie down if needed to help control the speed of the sheep. The focus was on moving the handlers body in such a way that the dogs direction could be controlled easily without any verbal commands.

A handlers body sends a multitude of messages to the dog so it is important that the handler be aware of how he is moving and where his position is in regard to the dogs body. A step or two in either direction can make a substantial difference to how the dog reacts. It is important to understand how subtle movements on the handler’s part can

alter the dogs positioning on the livestock.

The last two dogs on Sunday worked on moving heifers in a calm and orderly fashion. Once again, the emphasis was on the handler moving his body and having the dog use its natural working instinct to bring the cattle to the handler with minimal verbal commands. The goal was to send the dogs around the stock for a gather and have them approach the cattle slow and easy so the cattle moved off at a walk and proceeded calmly to the handler.

It was a great group of dogs and handlers who all use their dogs for cattle at home on the ranch.

These dogs are an integral part of making the ranch more efficient by moving stock and making it possible to get a job done with just the dog and handler rather than a group of people. The more these dogs and handlers learn the more jobs they can accomplish themselves. It is commendable that they see the value in spending time to advance the training of both themselves and their dogs.

The next clinic will be sometime in the fall. To get on a list or for more information call: Carol Nelson 250-772-5315 or text message 250-2634223
