Breakfast Brief CANADIAN SOYBEAN EXPORTS NEXT ON CHINA’S HIT LIST (May 17, 2019, FarmLead.com) Of course, the week that I come down with a bad a fever and infection, the grain markets make some incredible volatile moves. While I’m about 80% of normal, the likes of soybean prices are also still in progress of getting back to where they started the month of May. Grain markets this morning are mixed as the complex tries to extend its short-covering run, despite some more rain in the forecast. This would put pressure on corn getting planting, suggesting that more soybeans could instead get seeded. As the USDA’s May WASDE Report on Friday showed, there’s certainly a lot grain still in the U.S. and around the rest of the world. The USDA also asterisked their 2019/20 crop forecasts, acknowledging that U.S. planted acres are likely to change for corn and soybeans. As I mentioned in my weekly grain markets recap on RealAgriculture.com, the bearish tough love from the WASDE report may be outlasted by the declining yield potential of this year’s American corn crop.

Getting a big corporate first, the new CEO at Bunge says that they will downsize before trying to build the company back up.“This is about simplification, accountability, and speed,” said Gregory Heckman, who joined Bunge’s board back in October, but was most recently the CEO of Gavilon. Heckman also noted the impact on feed prices and meat tradeflows from the African Swine Fever epidemic happening in China will last for years. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture said earlier this week that pig herds in the People’s Republic are 21% lower than same time a year ago.

Trade War is “Game On” Like after moving the hockey nets on the street to let a car go through, put the nets back in place because the trade war is “Game On!” The trade war between the U.S. and China is capturing most of the headlines again, with accusations and tariffs being handed out left, right, and centre.

John Deere’s stock price is taking a hit this week thanks to the trade war, as the tractor-maker is seeing its status downgraded by a lot of the analysts covering the company. In fact, John Deere CEO Samuel Allen declared that, “ongoing concerns about export-market access, near-term demand for commodities such as soybeans, and a delayed planting season in much of North America are causing farmers to become much more cautious about making major purchases.”

On Wednesday, President Trump signed an executive order barring U.S. firms from using telecommunications gear made by companies deemed a national security risk, which could easily include a lot of Chinese firms. Further, the U.S. government will be screening the purchase of Huawei equipment by American companies. Additionally, they effectively put Hauwei and 67 of its global affiliates and subsidiaries on an export blacklist, in addition to banning the telecom giant from participating in the development of America’s 5G network. It’s expected that Hauwei will also be put on an “Entity List” which means that any U.S. company will need a special license to sell products to the world’s largest networking gear maker and second-largest smartphone brand.

The White House maintains that the pursuit against Huawei is separate from the trade war negotiations.

However, if we’re being honest, they go hand in hand. If you need proof, just look at China’s reactions the Huawei CFO, Meng Wanzhou being detained in Vancouver and the subsequent impact on Canadian canola prices and exports. One could argue that China knows very well that they have a formidable American opponent in President Trump and company, especially when compared to the actors in Ottawa.

North American Soybean Exports Taking Big Hit With China likely not buying much American soybeans thanks to the trade war back on, it’s likely that we’ll continue to see U.S. soybean exports suffer.

Conversely, soybean prices in Brazil are starting to creep up from their harvest lows, albeit Agri Census is reporting that sales have slowed: about 72% of Mato Grosso soybeans had been contracted through April, down from 80% at this time a year ago. Brazilian farmers are very aware that China may not need as much of their soybean exports this year.

Beefy day at the Parliament Buildings: recognizing the sector that puts beef on people’s plates The mouth-watering smell of barbecued beef was in the air outside the Parliament Buildings as the B.C. government and industry celebrated B.C. Beef Day. “This is the perfect setting to get together with our industry partners and look at ways we can continue to grow ranching and beef processing in our province,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture.

“The smiling faces and sounds of satisfaction are legendary on B.C. Beef Day, as hundreds of people enjoy this incredible product.

Thank you to all the people working in our beef sector for making this day such a success.”

The Province has proclaimed May 14, 2019, as B.C. Beef Day. The annual event showcases British Columbia’s tasty, high-quality beef while recognizing the partnership between government and the BC Cattlemen’s Association, BC Association of Cattle Feeders, BC Breeder and Feeder Association, BC Association of Abattoirs and the BC Dairy Association.

The beef, supplied by the BC As-

sociation of Cattle Feeders, was from Fraser Valley’s Meadow Valley Meats and grilled to perfection

by Brian Misko, barbecue pitmaster, and his team from House of Q. The B.C. Beef Day menu included B.C. sirloin tri-tip slices and beef on a bun.

“Today, ranchers from across B.C. are gathering in Victoria to share our great story about raising beef in the diverse ecosystems of British Columbia,” said Larry Garrett, president, BC Cattlemen’s Association. “Through the careful stewardship of land and environment, ranchers are committed to raising beef that exceeds the expectations of our fellow British Columbians, and we encourage you all to enjoy beef on the barbecue.”

The B.C. beef industry is primarily cow-calf operations, with close to 80% of beef cows located on farms in three regions of the province: Thompson-Okanagan, Peace River, Cariboo.

Below, open air at the Peace Region Petroleum Show last week in GP.

Soy Canada sent a memo out earlier this week to its members suggesting that Chinese custom authorities are cracking down on Canadian soybean exports. Inspections are happening at a slower pace but are also more intense, with officials on the other side of the Pacific are now looking for contaminants that Canadian food inspectors are not testing for in the export process. We all know the impact that Chinese inspections have had on Canadian canola exports, namely the price being drug the gutter.

This intensified inspection process is a big deal considering that China has been the destination for 91% of all Canadian soybean exports (via licensed facilities) in the 2018/19 crop year through March 2019.

Literally, 9 out of every 10 boats of Canadian soybean exports in the 2018/19 crop year have gone to China! Worth also noting is the total volume of Canadian soybean exports to China, as, through March, they’re tracking 132% higher year-over-year. More acutely, through March 2019, 3.056 MMT of Canada soybean exports have gone to China, versus the 1.315 MMT shipped in the 2017/18 crop year through March 2018.

Politics Ruling Grain Markets?

Complicating the relationships between Beijing and Ottawa was the former arresting two Canadian citizens yesterday on espionage charges. Technically, the two have been detained for months but no formal charges had been laid until now. Overall, the political interference in grain markets has been augmented, notably, with the U.S. government announcing an additional $15 Billion in trade war financial aid to American farmers, the second round of support for lost incoming due to the trade war.

This week, the Grain Growers of Canada called on the Canadian federal government to support Canadian farmers in the “increasingly unpredictable trade environment”.While the Prime Minister’s Office has provided more dollars for cash advances for Canadian canola farmers, that money has to be paid back; the American farmers’ aid does not.

Overall, with the federal election less than 6 months away in Canada and more presidential candidates appearing every day for the 2020 run for the Oval Office, politics are intertwining with grain markets more and more. As much as I’m against political interference in markets, it’s clear that the governments of both the U.S. and Canada have to figure out how to help their farmers. As such, I don’t expect political involvement in grain markets to slow down and you shouldn’t either.

Have a great weekend!

How to select and hire an agronomist or crop advisor Crop production in Alberta has become more complex and technically challenging. It has become increasingly difficult to balance the many demands of a successful farming operation, including the agronomic management of a number of different crops, crop scouting of all fields, long-term crop planning, input planning and purchasing as well as crop marketing.

It can be hard to keep up with and evaluate the latest opportunities, innovations, research and technologies that could benefit the bottom line of your farming operation. There are many factors to consider such as changing cropping opportunities, crop varieties, equipment innovations, fertilizer management options, changing disease and insect populations as well as new pest control options.

Background External influences, such as the environment, regularly complicate the decision making of farmers every year. Challenging years with unusual weather conditions often bring unusual crop production problems and even more challenging questions on crop management. As a farmer, where do you go for reliable crop management advice or answers to complex crop problems:

Do you need an agronomist?

Here are the first questions you should ask: 1. Are you satisfied with your crop yields and the crop management on your farm?

2. Are you achieving crop yields that reflect your level of inputs?

3. Are you comfortable with your crop management knowledge and the decisions you make on most aspects of growing crops on your farm? If you answered “yes” to these questions, then perhaps you may not benefit personally or financially from hiring an agronomist. However, if you feel you are not optimizing your crop yields and there is opportunity to enhance your level of crop management, or you do not have time to spend in the field to assess crop conditions, you could benefit from an independent source of technical expertise.

The best fields start with the best seed.

• your local Ag retailer?

• chemical company representatives?

• the internet?

• crop production club or group that shares knowledge and experiences?

• direct contact with government specialists or research scientists?

• neighbours?

• farm magazines or newspapers?

• the coffee shop?

The Fair Motto is: Share what you know Show what you grow

Hello again from the Sunset Prairie Recreation Commission

Kiskatinaw Fall Fair

With the arrival of Spring in the Peace Country farmers are out on the land getting their crops planted, and many people are heading to the local nurseries to take advantage of plants that have already been started, whether they be flowers, vegetables, shrubs or trees.

Others have started their plants from seeds and watched them grow inside the warmth of their homes or greenhouses.

Whatever method you choose spring is a wonderful time of growth and greening up. While you are busy with your planting, why not consider a few extra plants that might produce the winning floral arrangement or vegetables at the Kiskatinaw Fall Fair that is 3 months from now, on August 16, 17 & 18.

The governments of Canada and British Columbia (B.C.) are investing in the B.C. strawberry, blueberry and raspberry industries to help market competitiveness in berry production through innovative genetics and practices in the province.

The Lower Mainland Horticulture Improvement Association is set to receive $200,000 in annual funding a year for the next five years to improve berry genetics.

Results from the research will support a plant breeding program that produces superior berry varieties that are suited to the local climate.

The program is expected to lead to improved crops, higher fruit quality and increased pest and disease resistance.

The berry plant breeding program is supported by the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. The Partnership is a five-year, $3 billion investment by federal, provincial and territorial governments to strengthen the agriculture and agri-food sector.

“Our Government is committed to ensuring our berry producers have the tools they need to succeed and be competitive. This in-

During the last two wildfire seasons, the Premises ID program helped more than 130 livestock owners in evacuation zones access their ranches to care for their livestock. Data made available by the program was instrumental in helping first responders, farmers and local governments in B.C. keep farmers and ranchers connected to their animals.

“Wildfires and flooding have become a devastating annual occurrence in many B.C. communities,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “Traceability programs like Premises ID have proven to be an invaluable resource in reconnecting farmers with their livestock during and after a natural disaster. It’s important for ranchers and livestock producers to register their premises to protect their animals and their businesses.”

“The summers of 2017 and 2018 will never be forgotten in many parts of British Columbia, due to wildfires,” said Donna Barnett, MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin. “I am pleased that the Ministry of Agriculture is continuing to support our ranchers and farmers through the Premises ID and traceability programs. Registering for Premises ID is a step that farmers can take to prepare for the 2019 fire season.”

“While Premises ID was originally designed for animal health traceability, we have found through recent fires and floods that it is helpful for any emergency regarding livestock,” said Kevin Boon, general manager, B.C. Cattlemen’s Association. “Only livestock producers are eligible to register for the unique identification number, which allows for quick verification that they are a livestock producer and that their services are critical for addressing the welfare of livestock. Premises ID has become a priority when considering access to livestock during emergencies and has proven valuable for ranchers beyond its original intent.”

In 2017 and 2018, a wildfire emergency operations centre in the Cariboo Regional District relied on the Premises ID system to provide:

contact information for livestock owners within evacuation zones; minimum estimates of livestock impacted by evacuation alerts and orders; and base data that supported efforts to identify premises impacted by wildfires and road closures to assist in the evacuation of animals and the distribution of feed.

The Province opened registration for the program in 2011 and created a free online registration process in 2016 to make program registration more accessible. With climate change making extreme weather, such as wildfires and flooding, increasingly common, producers are encouraged to register land where animals, plants or food are grown, kept, assembled or disposed of.

Slower increases in land value may heighten risk Producers should be mindful that the slowdown in land value growth could increase their risk and that land values must be in synch with variables such as net income, interest rates, commodity prices and productivity, experts say.

Farm Credit Canada’s annual farmland values report, released April 29, said farmland values increased an average of 6.6 per cent nationally.

That’s the lowest growth recorded in eight years.

And there’s speculation the 2019 increase rate could be reduced by as much as half, mostly as a result of various trade agreements in the works and the ripple effect on Canadian agriculture.

So what happens if farmland values outpace the productive capacity of the land?

Understand the implications “Fundamentally, if rising farmland values reflect higher profitability in Canadian agriculture, it’s a positive trend,” says Canadian Federation of Agriculture President Mary Robinson. But, she says, if farmland values begin to diverge from the underlying productive capacity of the land, “some producers may face a difficult situation.”

Robinson says the federation encourages farmers to make purchasing decisions based on a clear understanding of their cost of production and profitability implications.

Land values and productive capacity that are out of synch “can create real challenges for expanding operations in a rising interest rate environment,” she says.

Lower-value land attractive to buyers Land values – and their implications and underlying causes - vary across the provinces. For example, in Saskatchewan, farmland values increases were above the national average, at 7.4 per cent. While that increase remains healthy, it’s down from last year, when Saskatchewan led the country with a 10.2 per cent jump.

Tim Hammond, owner of the province’s largest agricultural real estate company, Hammond Realty, of Biggar, says the lower 2018 values point to a situation found there and in other parts of Canada – that is, more buying activity on lower value land.

“In 2018, the market was hot for high value land, but there was little of it for sale,” he says.

“So buyers started looking for less expensive land that they were prepared to improve. It’s a strategic investment.”

For example, land values are lowest in east central Saskatchewan, at $1,321 per acre. But interest from buyers saw values increase more than 11 per cent to $1,475 per acre.

High values slowed realtor activity In Saskatchewan, that strategy by farmers is keeping the market active. Hammond says that through the first quarter, he and his nine agents experienced 20 per cent more sales volume than during all of 2018.

“When values were high, sales were down,” Hammond says. “Many sales were going directly from owner to farmer. Now, we’re being asked to get more involved, to bring more buyers and sellers together.”

Some of those buyers are from out of province – Alberta, specifically, where farmland costs 80 to 120 per cent more on average than Saskatchewan.

A different story in Ontario In Ontario, farmland values are already among the highest in Canada. So, there’s not as much room as in other provinces for prices to move higher, especially if commodity prices aren’t keeping or setting the pace.

That means the 2018 farmland value increase in Ontario of just 3.6 per cent – well below the

national average – may not be as dramatic as it sounds, says agricultural economist Brady Deaton at the University of Guelph.

Deaton says there is considerable variation in farmland values within Ontario, depending on the location and the quality and quantity of farms coming up for sale in their area.

Price pressure from Golden Horseshoe Many Ontario farmland owners are non-farmers, particularly in regions close to the Golden Horseshoe. In these areas, the appreciation of farmland values is entangled with the growth and wealth of urban areas.

As well, many Ontario farmers rent a significant portion of the land they farm. Deaton found changes in rental rates appear to be relatively stable when compared to price changes.

Deaton conducts an annual survey of farmland value and rental value. Nearly half of the 1,550 respondents to a question about projected farmland values in 2019 say they expect values to stay the same.

Bottom line Farmers’ experience with changes in farmland values and appreciation varies considerably across and within provinces. Experts recommend farmers be aware of a general slowdown in land values since the softening of markets could heighten financial risk. Net income, interest rates, commodity prices and cost of production are some of the areas in which to keep an especially sharp eye.

Strip-grazing underutilized but effective Annual crops or perennials are options for strip-grazing, a technique that allows farmers to provide their livestock fresh vegetation by moving temporary fences every few hours or days, says Saskatchewan’s Lorne Klein.

Advantages “You can almost eliminate trampling loss and get the most number of cow days per acre,” says the provincial range management extension specialist.

Other advantages include uniform manure distribution across fields, and increased ability to manage animal health risks when grazing alternative forages, such as annuals and cover crops, says Ontario’s forage and grazing specialist, Christine O’Reilly.

She explains strip-grazing is most commonly used for livestock requiring high quality forage to maintain production, such as lactating dairy cows — most typically on organic farms — and grass-finished beef cattle.

Disadvantages Time and labour are strip-grazing’s main drawbacks.

Strip-grazing often requires a moveable water system, which can come with implementation challenges, says O’Reilly.

“Water wagons are a common solution, though they are often labour-intensive. In fields where infrastructure can be left in place, some producers run a water line with quick connection points all along it,” she says.

Not moving the water could see animals trample over previously grazed ground to reach a water source, resulting in pasture not getting the rest it needs, Klein points out.

Timesaver O’Reilly says livestock should be moved at least once every three days, the frequency being partly determined on strip size.

“Depending on the crop, the livestock, and the manager’s goals, they may move more frequently,” she adds.

Technology can reduce the amount of time farmers spend on fence moving.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada research

biologist John Duynisveld notes automatic gate release timers allow farmers the flexibility to open gates whenever they choose without having to be there.

Adoption “Strip-grazing is the best technique for grazing cover crops and standing corn, so as these practices are adopted the use of strip-grazing increases,” O’Reilly says.

Klein, however, rarely observes strip-grazing utilization, and believes it probably pays off best in the case of large herds.

Duynisveld adds the adoption rate of grazing management in general is low. He thinks part of that reflects farmers’ reluctance on spending the time necessary, but also possibly on mistakes committed by first-timers.

Bottom line Strip-grazing is a top technique in providing fresh plants to livestock. Technology can ease implementation it also takes time and repeat attempts to fine-tune the practice, specialists say.

Government of Canada invests in 4-H Canada to support the next generation of agricultural leaders Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food MarieClaude Bibeau announced an investment of up to $3 million under the AgriCompetiveness Program for 4-H Canada while meeting with a group of youth taking part in the 47th annual 4-H Canada Citizenship Congress in Ottawa.

The funding will allow 4-H Canada to continue to deliver impactful national programming that will empower youth to be responsible, caring and contributing leaders.

With this investment, 4-H Canada aims to reach even more youth across Canada through relevant youth leadership programs and initiatives in the areas of sustainable agriculture, food security, science and technology, the environment, health and nutrition, and community engagement. Through the delivery of exchanges, internships, hands-on learning activities, and conferences like the annual Citizenship Congress, 4-H Canada will provide youth with opportunities to develop knowledge and capacity in these areas, advance their leadership skills, and explore various career paths.

In support of these activities, 4-H will deliver social media content, publications, and other communications materials and resources to a diverse spectrum of audiences in order to further expand the reach of 4-H clubs in rural communities.

One of the world’s largest youth organizations, 4-H can be found in more than 70 countries across the globe. 4-H in Canada has more than 25,000 members and 7,700 volunteers.

Started in 1913, 4-H Canada is one of the country’s longest-running and most well-respected positive youth development organizations. In 2018, more than 114 new 4-H clubs were formed in Canada.

“4-H Canada helps prepare generations of leaders, including girls, to take leadership positions in the agriculture sector and our government is committed to support this important work. Young farmers across Canada must have a public voice and play an active role in shaping the future of our agriculture industry to ensure our rural communities continue to thrive and that all Canadians have access to healthy food,” says Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.

“4-H Canada is thankful to the Government of Canada for their continued investment in the development of youth leaders from Coast to Coast. This funding under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, ensures that 4-H’ers are empowered to develop relevant skills and knowledge, and explore career paths in the areas important to their generation: agriculture, science and technology, environmental sustainability, and health and nutrition.

Producers mitigate business risks with HR training bers pointed out it takes time to find and hire the right staff and once that’s done, they want the employees to stay.

“There are a lot of people from different backgrounds working on farms today and things can get difficult; if they aren’t getting along, managers want to know what they can do,” Goldsborough says.

Consider HR as risk management

Human resources are important in a farm operation and producers know it.

Jade Reeve, manager of AgriJobs with the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council, says HR training helps producers manage their workforce, especially important when the business depends on the people hired.

“Having some HR training in place helps to ensure consistency and fairness when it comes to managing your workforce - including family and non-family workers - and the policies set in place for

the business, whether it’s compensation and benefits, health and safety policies or even policies on workplace wellness,” Reeve says.

Top issues for producers Manitoba Pork Council’s Industry Performance and Services Committee surveyed members at its fall producer meetings to determine HR priorities and with the goal of developing the mostrequested training. Performance management and conflict resolution topped the list.

Janice Goldsborough, HR and training co-ordinator with the Manitoba Pork Council, says mem-

Mary Robinson, president of Canadian Federation of Agriculture, says HR training should be considered business risk management on a farm. For instance, HR training addresses risks associated with labour shortages through improved recruitment practices and unforeseen productivity losses due to improved employee retention.

“HR training is increasingly important to many farms, as the average Canadian farm continues to increase in size and complexity, requiring greater reliance on hired help in many instances,” Robinson says. “People are at the heart of any successful business and farming is no different.”

She says that along with managing risk, HR training is another means of improving overall business performance and enabling a

business to move forward without undue labour constraints.

“HR management in isolation won’t necessarily address the structural issues that create labour shortages in many remote rural areas, but it does help ensure that farmers understand and have access to the best tools available to them,” Robinson says.

Tools to help CAHRC’s AgriHR Toolkit provides a wide range of resources to assist with HR management.

Manitoba Pork also offers training seminars. It recently held sessions on conflict resolution and performance management and expects additional sessions later this year. Details, including dates and locations, will be posted on its webpage.

Bottom line Hiring and retaining the right people is vital to a farm’s success. Producers recognize that HR training, particularly in the areas of performance management and conflict resolution, needs to be a priority. Experts recommend farmers consider HR training as business risk management for their operation.

Farmers form the backbone of rural communities across Canada.

They are integral to expanding our middle-class and strengthening our economy. Federal-provincialterritorial (FPT) governments remain committed to growing Canada’s agricultural sector by ensuring all farmers have the tools they need to manage significant risks that threaten the viability of their farms.

The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, today announced a two-month extension to the AgriStability enrollment deadline for the 2019 program year without penalty, from April 30th to July 2nd, 2019, allowing farmers more time to sign up and benefit from the program. This exceptional step agreed to by FPT governments will enable the program to help more farmers manage the impact of current market disruptions and production challenges facing many farm operations.

“We continue to stand shoulderto-shoulder with Canadian farmers and farm families. Together with farmers and our provincialterritorial partners, we’re looking

for the best ways to support the sector and to ensure our programs provide farmers with the support they need. Extending the enrolment deadline means more farmers can join and benefit from government support in times of need,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food As of April 21, 2019, approximately 51,000 producers across Canada were enrolled in AgriStability for the 2017 program year (the last year for which data is available).

Farmers experiencing financial challenges are encouraged to access assistance available under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership’s suite of business risk management (BRM) programs to help them manage risk due to severe market volatility and disaster situations that are largely beyond their capacity to manage. Farmers enrolled in AgriStability may receive support should they experience a large margin decline.

Farmers can also draw on their AgriInvest account balance at any time to help manage income declines or access cash flow.

Labour legislation could cost our kids islation will impact farm families here in the Peace and across the province. Farms and the agriculture sector are the largest employers of youth. After school jobs. Summer jobs. The chance for youth to earn their own money and get ready for life after high school.

es.

As parents, two of our biggest jobs are protecting our kids and preparing them for the future.

We want them to be safe, we don’t want them to take unnecessary risks, but we also want them to have the chance to learn new skills, learn about responsibility, and get the chance to expand their horizons.

One area where this is abundantly true is when our kids enter the working world. Sometimes it comes after high school. For others it starts with helping on the family farm or restaurant. Others taking on an after-school job or land a summer job.

But any of these working opportunities could be erased because of the government’s plans to change the Employment Standards Act this month.

The government has introduced amendments in the name of protecting young people from dangerous work. That’s something we can all get behind. But the problem is the same kind of challenge we have seen again and again from this government – they bring bills to the Legislature that only give them power to make changes – but there are no details on the chang-

SADDLE HILLS trailer sales

For instance, they are saying that young workers aged 14 and 15 will be able to take on light work. But there is no definition of light work in the bill.

We all agree, young workers deserve special protection. But they also deserve a chance to work if they can and if they want to. And we know how much an after-school or summer job can change a young person’s life for the better.

I’m especially worried about how this leg-

I’ll be watching this issue and keep you posted of any developments – including possible consultation by the government on the restrictions it will impose.

The changes for youth get more confusing.

The Minister has said that this bill won’t prevent kids from getting their chores done as long as they’re not getting paid for them. So, your daughter can run the tractor on the family farm if it is a chore, but not at a paid job? More uncertainty – something legislation should reduce rather than increase.

CALL RON TODAY!

One thing we I can tell you is parents deserve more of a role in determining if kids are ready to work – something way better in protecting them than prohibitions based simply on age. That approach by the government take a Victoria-knows best stance – and ignores the fact that many teens are mature and are more than capable of handling themselves appropriately and safely in many workplaces.

For 16- to 18-year-olds, the legislation will restrict them from doing hazardous work. But what kind of work is hazardous, that explanation is not in the legislation. So it leaves the rules to be cooked up in offices in Victoria, rather than being informed by parents or debated by elected officials. They have promised a consultation, but here in the Peace we’re right to be skeptical with all we are going through on caribou protection.

But with the lack of details in this legislation we just don’t know what the impacts will be for young people and for farmers and their families.

Will youth be allowed to babysit or stock shelves? Can they run a lawn mower or a snowblower? Is working in a restaurant – say on the cash register in a family restaurant – or busing tables, acceptable?

SHEPHERD’S DIARY

by Andy Tschetter

Continuing entries from the diary...

(Andy Tschetter is in charge of the sheep operation at the Peace View Hutterite Colony and provides a diary account of wintertime experiences with the sheep, as well as highlights from the past years travels in the Peace region.)

FEBRUARY 6 Besides being everyone’s grandfather, former Alberta politician and Lieutenant-Governor Grant MacEwan was many things. Although he had been a historical author, statesman and politician, it seems his personal qualities of integrity, determination and humour appear to have made him legendary. Of Scottish lineage, MacEwan was born on August 12, 1902 and grew up in a farming community in Manitoba. His vested interest in farming and agricultural sciences included livestock judging and led him to write over 50 books. Grant’s contribution to writing extensively as he did about the history of the Canadian West led him to write a book on sheep! Spending countless hours as he did with numerous other assignments in his beloved Calgary Glenbow Museum and Library, MacEwan penned the title “Highlights of Sheep History in the Canadian West”, incredibly, at over 82 years of age, back in 1986 at the behest of the then Alberta Sheep & Wool Commission, who organized the project with the goal being to pay tribute to the pioneers of the sheep industry in Western Canada, and ultimately realized with MacEwan delivering on a most enjoyable book! Detailing the arrival of the very first sheep in the West, the apparent largesse of the early sheepmen strikes most where bands of over 2,000 sheep on many farms seemed the norm. An important read, available at Alberta Lamb Producers. $15 FEBRUARY 7 Consistent winter cold continues. Depending on who makes coffee in the cabin, java formulations differ with a rancid edition, from being muddy to extra light. Worst case scenario being the ‘flicking the “ON” switch’ edition, merely heating the brew from the morning. Or previous day in which case a dollop of honey might serve to alleviate the acidic recoil and is meant to be ‘eaten’ fast.

FEBRUARY 8 The operations foreman here on tiny Peace Ewe Farm is deserving of mention. This fellow is dependable. Tasked with the heavy lifting of day to day operations, the ingenuous Mr. John Deere 6125R is superbly adept at multitasking and uniquely qualified for the role, delivering hay for the ewes who find him adorable as he is the provider of oats for them every other day. The small, but mighty 4.5L / 4-cylinder PowerTech engine boasts 2 turbochargers in series – one a low pressure fixed, the other a high pressure VGT, allowing it to operate at peak efficiency through

different RPM with a fast response rate. Air-toair aftercooled, along with HPCR injection allows the tractor to run all day at 120 hp with a temporary power bulge of 10% above it for short periods of time. With no particular affinity for coffee whatsoever, there’s virtually no rear implement the diesel and grease loving tractor can’t power, with a choice of 2 mechanical, all the way up to 5 electronic SCV’s, with the pressure/flow compensated closed center hydraulic system that puts out 30.1 gpm and 2900 psi – multifunctioning on the loader is usually no problem. Alas the question begs. One ponders whether company founder, John Deere, born February 7, 2804, envisioned his product to evolve as drastically as it did into the bolder style of tractor, enhanced with numerous technical applications. It is more certain he would have had faith in his company’s goals, whose underlying base was one of the virtually solid steel. As he himself put it, “I will never put my name on a product that doesn’t have in it the best that is in me.” He passed away at his home in Moline, Illinois on Mat 17th, 1886. John Deere was 82.

FEBRUARY 9 British Columbia’s Highway 97 serves well as a vanguard in connecting some of the rich geographical tapestry and diverse regions of the province. Back in December I took the drive down this oftentimes lonely trail with my colleague Jacob Tschetter, shepherd at nearby South Peace Colony, who was hauling a load of lambs to Meadow Valley Meats in Pitt Meadows and wanted me to assist him with the drive. I obliged with his assurance of us having sufficient coffee breaks along the way. We found the southerly route almost bare, with the province’s autumnlike lower half bathed in sunlight. Though leaving behind relative snow cover in the Peace the only other express sign of winter proved to be the Pine Pass which was heavily clad in snow. Splendor beyond diminishment as we made out way south through the epic cattle and ranch terri-

tory near William’s Lake, through to Clinton and Cache Creek. Here the blowing tumbleweed a wistful harbinger to the achingly lonely desertlike plain, a sporadic assortment of painfully abandoned farm buildings dotting the flat. We made our way into the Fraser Canyon with the evening sun hugging the towering fortresses of granite. An awesome canyon, which starts at the junction of the Thompson and Fraser rivers extending to Hope at its mouth. The reddish rocks near Lytton rise toward giant peaks, some over 7,000 feet before culminating in heights of treacherous recoil that form Hell’s Gate. Towering walls of rock stand resolute with the waters of the Fraser churning below finally emptying into the forgiving open plain that is the beautiful Fraser Valley. We arrived in tiny Pitt Meadows in soft warm rainfall.

FEBRUARY 10 Production manager and purchasing liaison, Ashiq Saeed of Meadow Valley Meats is a slight, bearded man of medium height, whose genteel warmth and ever-present smile belies an otherwise keen understanding of the lamb industry and marketing unique in his role at the small abattoir in Pitt Meadows. “Local sourcing of lamb is priority for us”, he says. Something, he adds, can be challenging with fewer provincewide sheep farms in recent years resulting in his sourcing lambs from Alberta certain times of the year to meet demand. The plant slaughters over 100 lambs per week with preferred lightweight lambs ranging from 65 – 105 lbs and distributes whole carcasses mostly to bur=tcher shops in the Lower Mainland.

FEBRUARY 11 High winds with mist sprinkling the canyon walls as we made our way towards Cache Creek and home. The coffee was good at the lone Tim Horton’s situated in the high country near Ashcroft.

Collie Corner

By Carol Nelson

Traits of a good working dog Every handler will have certain preference in a dog after they have worked a number of different types and styles. Part of this selection will depend on the type of personality the handler is and how much interaction they want to contribute while working the dog.

It is important to recognize the qualities that are suited to each individual person and the type of work that is predominant to them and their lifestyle.

To have a good working dog there must be enough instinct in the dog to want to work even

though he may not agree with all the rules. He needs to have that desire to get in there and work until the job is done.

A dog that would rather go to the house instead of work when life gets a bit tough is not much help. However, the exception to this is a handler who is shouting or expecting the dog to be responsible for work that he does not have the training or experience to handle. If this happens it is a handler error and not a fault of the dog.

The natural ability to “read” or “feel” the stock will be an asset

that makes the handlers job much easier. Often these dogs will have a certain amount of “eye” which will provide them with a moderate pace on the stock. Too much eye will make them sticky and not want to move into the stock to get it travelling but a bit of eye will keep them from charging the stock.

A good grip or bite on the nose and the heels is needed to be able to move stock that refuse to co-operate. This should be a controlled bite and not done in a fit of temper or fear. The dog that walks up

calmly to the face of stock, pauses to give the animal time to turn and leave, and then grips the nose if the stock refuses to go, will be a great asset.

Willingness to heed and work with the handler rather than run his own show will make the dog an enjoyable helper.

The next issue of the Northern Horizon comes out on:

The Northern Horizon, May 24, 2019

Ministry, health authority working to optimize duplicated bus services Finding efficiencies in duplicated northern bus services remains under discussion for B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the Northern Health Authority, Minister Claire Trevena says.

“We continue to talk with Northern Health to ensure we are being cost effective,” Trevena said. “We don’t want to duplicate services.”

A Glacier Media investigation published May 1 found B.C. taxpayers have paid more than $31 million since 2012 to subsidize almost-daily northern bus services by a private company on runs Greyhound ran at market costs but abandoned last year partly due to subsidized competition.

It was the Northern Health Connections (NHC) service run by the health authority since 2007 that Greyhound cited as an example of unfair, taxpayer-subsidized competition when it abandoned its western Canadian services in 2018. Greyhound said NHC fares for routes significantly undercut its own.

Between 2012 and 2018, Diversified Transportation, a subsidiary of Calgary-based Pacific Western Transportation, which operates both BC Bus North and NHC, re-

ceived $21.3 million from Northern Health, vendor payment documents show.

Greyhound said subsidies to NHC covered 80% to 90% of fare costs, competition Greyhound cited as unfair.

Greyhound’s final one-way fare from Prince Rupert to Vancouver was $213 compared with the $40 NHC currently charges. NHC riders are supposed to present valid medical certificates for travel.

The province pumped $2 million into BC Bus North last June at Trevena’s direction to have an interim solution between Greyhound’s departure and the establishment of a full service.

The provincially funded BC Bus North partially duplicates or fills gaps in the NHC service.

Health authority spokesman Steve Raper said while the two services cater to different passengers, work is underway to optimize the two.

“The idea is that you’re not going to have the buses operating at the same times,” he said.

Raper explained that the health bus operates to dovetail with the health system and to get patients to appointments during office hours.

He said the service tries to keep

overnight medical trips to a minimum.

Raper said routing has also changed as services become available in different communities. He said it was once the case that anyone needing an MRI in the north would need to travel to Prince George. With that technology now available in Fort St. John and ter-

race, travel needs have shifted.

“It really is built around the medical system,” Raper said.

He said work continues to extend the health bus services to those over 60.

“It helps keep seniors healthy longer in their hones and out of hospital,” he said.

Both services run from Prince Rupert to Prince George and Prince George to Fort Nelson. The NHC service also runs into Vancouver with stops along the route.

Pacific Western director of business development John Stepovy said the two services are different, and that there is potential for BC Transit and Northern Health to work the services together.

Raper supports the idea of Diversified finding efficiencies to make both services better.

“I know BC Bus does use our call centre,” Raper said. “The feedback we’re getting on that is fantastic.”

Trevena said northern transportation is important as many people don’t have any options to cover large distances. She said getting people to where they receive medical care is vital.

“We’re a very vast province,” she said.

History of South Peace Rural crime watch The spring of 1992 saw the formation of the first Rural Crime watch in the Peace, if not the first rural crime watch in British Columbia. During the fall and winter of 1991 meetings were held and concept gained momentum.

An executive was elected, constitution drafted operating under the umbrella group the Tomslake Recreation Commission. The spring of 1992 saw the formation of the first Rural Crime watch in the Peace, if not the first rural crime watch in British Columbia. During

the fall and winter of 1991 meetings were held and concept gained momentum.

An executive was elected, constitution drafted operating under the umbrella group the Tomslake Recreation Commission.

The commission began fundraising to raise money to purchase radios for patrols and signage from the AB RCW (who the group became a member of).

Our direction from the local RCMP was through liaisons officer Cst. John Vetter. He was very enthusiastic about the new program and was very instrumental in setting up our patrols and other logistics.

Our area is the Block Line Road and the North to One Island Lake Rd. in the south. We patrol into Alberta on the East Side of Gundy - as it is situated on both sides of the AB and BC border.

Our early executive members were Bruno and Cora Pohl, Art Seidl, Harry Fister, Eric Schindler, Boyd Christianson, Ingrid David, and Joyce Derow. Encouraging statistics from the first year included a reduction in rural crime by 42 percent. Our efforts were significant and crime was reduced.

The success was prompted to formation of the DC District Rural

Crime watch under the guidance of Vetter as well. Six areas because activated - cutback, Joe River, Kilkerran, South Dawson, Pouce Coupe and Tomslake. A new radio system was purchases and a call out system enabled all members to received up to date information related to sus-

pected and real criminal activities taking place as well as with assisting local RCMP in solving crimes with related information and potential tips.

Different methods of patrols have been employed and adopted by the six areas. An area patrol coordinator keeps records and patrols active as well as the local executive.

The main body of the DC district RCW is government by an elected executive as wells as area directors from respective areas.

Over the past 27 years, thousands of kilometres have been logged and countless hours spent on Crime Prevention. all costs incurred for the patrols borne out of the patrol members. Attempt have been made to obviation charity status which tax receipts could be issued however se have been unsuccessful thus car.

Our patrol are not only limited to crime prevention nut incorporate senior range patrols, as well as general observations of well being and citizens concerns over the years.

How productivity gains affect farm income – part 1 Planting is in full swing. If the weather cooperates, we expect record or near record yields for Canadian crops because yields trend upward. Agriculture has long experienced productivity gains.

Innovations such as GMOs and precision agriculture are transforming today’s agriculture. CRISPR gene editing technologies are expected to soon make positive contributions.

Productivity gains are desirable to society, but their economic impacts aren’t shared by all. This week and next, we’ll explore how productivity gains affect farm in-

and 1960s. Although quiet and often forgotten, it was one of the most transformative events of the 20th century.

documented on my Twitter feed other examples of productivity gains in Canada agriculture:

Figure 1 shows the remarkable increase in yields for wheat in Canada. Yields vary from year to year because of weather, but generally trend up. Wheat yields in the 1920s were about 15 bushels per acre. Today, they’re about 50 bushels per acre, making land more than three times more productive than it was 100 years ago.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the farm sector saw the introduction of synthetic fertilizers, hybrid crops and pesticides. The development and the adoption of these technologies helped feed a rapidly growing population and caused the number of farms to decline as they grew to adopt productivity enhancing technologies.

continued from previous tions for 2019. Farmers’ planting decisions are based on the expected revenues per acre (expected yield times expected price). Let’s see how productivity gains affect a farmer’s expected revenue per acre.

on income isn’t obvious. On one side, productivity gains increase revenues per acre by augmenting output. On the other side, as yields trend up for all farmers, they increase total supply and put downward pressure on prices.

Productivity gains affect a farmer’s expected revenue per acre but not always positively. Tweet this

Whether crop revenues per acre increase depends on yields increasing at a greater pace than the price tends to decline, and whether demand increases.

What’s coming?

As yields trend up, farmers expect increasing output under normal growing conditions and thus higher revenues.

At planting time crop prices will be a function of anticipated supply and thus projected yields.

The effect of increased

Next week, we’ll examine how productivity gains at the farm affect consumers and farmers. We ask how farmers can stay ahead if farm income stalls because of productivity gains.
