Breakfast Brief JULY WASDE REPORT JUST POINTS US TO AUGUST (FarmLead.com, July 12, 2019) Grain prices on the futures board are quietly mixed following yesterday’s July WASDE report, which the market sort of yawned at and instead, circled Monday, August 12th on their calendars. Grain prices are recoiling from yesterday’s finish in the green, but analysts and traders are looking already to the date that the August WASDE report will be published, when it’s expected to include updated acreage data from the USDA. Right on cue, there was more shouting from the rafters about how irrelevant some of the USDA reporting has become. That being said, grain markets all finished in the green yesterday, including wheat prices climbing double digits. Also on the reporting front, the quarterly financial results for the likes of Bunge and ADM are starting to show the impact that the U.S. trade war and spring flooding as had. The shares for the aforementioned companies are hovering just above the three-year lows seen this past spring, and with demand for U.S. corn seemingly weakening (as suggested in yesterday’s July WASDE report), there are questions if a quick share price rebound is even possible. While Cargill still made $235M in profit last quarter, that’s a 67% drop from the same quarter a year ago. International July WASDE Report Data Globally, corn ending stocks were raised in the July WASDE report by nearly 8.5 MMT to just under 300 MMT, mainly because of bigger production in the United States and Argentina. It was the opposite though for soybeans as global carryout was lowered by 8.13 MMT, mainly because of the 8.3 MMT reduction for the 2019/20 American soybean harvest. In South America, the corn crop is looking bigger. While Brazil’s corn harvest was stayed at a record 101 MMT, Argentina’s 2018/19 corn harvest was raised by 2 MMT to 51 MMT. I mentioned in Wednesday’s FarmLead Breakfast Brief ahead of the July WASDE that the country’s official corn production estimate in Argentina was raised to 57 MMT, so maybe the USDA will make further additions?

Panzcak, Fowler Band: the Beatton River Round Up Music Fest in Baldonnel The Horse Ranch is super excited to announce the 1st Annual Beatton River Round Up Music Festival. It doesn’t get more Peace region country and rockin’ than this. A family friendly event that goes for two days July 19 and 20 at the fabled Glenn Stewart horse training facility and ranch in Baldonnel: two days of music & entertainment, fair food and unforgettable fun! “Join our wagon ride and follow our music experience ... there are three pit stops for you to jump off

and enjoy,” says organizer Janine Cumberland An artesian artisan market is in the planning, as well as various Kids Zone activities from bouncy castles, face painting and more are all slated for youth while beef, beer, chili and more will be available in adult zones. Saturday’s main stage event is Trevor Panzcak (8pm show time) with The Travis Fowler Band in support. For more information, call 250-219-4756

For South American soybean production, nothing changed for 2018/19, but it’s worth reminding you that the USDA is currently expecting next year’s harvest to come in at 53 MMT in Argentina and a record 123 MMT in Brazil. Digging into the oilseed complex further, the USDA literally titled their global oilseed report, “Market Uncertainties of 2018/19 Haunt 2019/20 Prospects.” This is an obvious reflection of the U.S.-China trade war, notably how many South American soybeans have been heading to China, instead of boats from the United States. In fact, the USDA increased Brazilian soybean exports for 2019/20 by 1 MMT to 76 MMT. Conversely, the USDA lowered 2019/20 U.S. soybean exports by 2.041 MMT (or 75 million bushels) to 51.03 MMT. As it relates to canola for the current 2018/19 crop year, Chinese imports were dropped in the July WASDE report by 150,000 MT to 3.85 MMT, with the USDA noting a “slowing pace of trade” for the oilseed to the People’s Republic. Australian 2019/20 canola exports were lowered by 400,000 MT to 1.9 MMT, indicating an opportunity that either Black Sea rapeseed or Canadian canola could take advantage of. That said, 2019/20 Canadian canola production is still pegged by the USDA at 20.1 MMT, a number that I think is about 1.5, maybe 2 MMT too high, given the canola crop’s condition in Western Canada right now. On that note, the heat has been noted by the USDA for wheat production in Canada as they lowered their forecast in the July WASDE report in the Great White North, as well as in Australia, Russia, and the Ukraine. On the trade front, we saw a bit of an update for wheat exports, with Australia’s 2019/20 shipments lowered by 1 MMT to 12.5 MMT, while US wheat exports were increased by 1.37 MMT to 25.9 MMT. Europe’s wheat exports were also increased by 500,000 MT to 27 MMT, but Russia was dropped by 2.5 MMT and Ukraine by 500,000 MT, a reflection of the expected lower wheat production in the Black Sea. July WASDE Report Shows Little Update for U.S. For corn in the United States, 2019/20 ending stocks came in above pre-report guesstimates, thanks to larger-than-expected production and a bigger carryover from 2018/19 than what the market was expecting. U.S. corn yields in the July WASDE report were stayed at 166 bushels per acre, but the average American soybean yield was dropped by 1 bushel per acre to 48.5, which significantly downgraded production to the tune of 305 million bushels. U.S. wheat yields were raised by 1.3 bushels per acre to 50, but some stronger demand, both domestically and internationally (as mentioned) should offset the increase in production. As such, 2019/20 U.S. wheat ending stocks were lowered by 72 million bushels (or 1.96 MMT if converting bushels into metric tonnes). It’s worth mentioning that both U.S. durum and spring wheat production will be lower than last year, thanks to a lower harvested area. For HRS wheat production, 542M bushels (or 14.75 MMT) forecasted for the 2019/20 harvest would be down nearly 8% year-over-year. For durum wheat production of 58M bushels (or 1.579 MMT), this would be a 25% decline from last year’s harvest! Overall, while grain prices finished the day in the green, yesterday’s July WASDE report should be taken with a grain of salt. This is mainly because of the inaccurate data in it, especially for the U.S. side of things. We know seeded corn acres will be lowered from the 91.7M suggested in the June acreage report. There is also a good chance that corn yields will also be lower. On the flipside, soybean acres are likely to increase, but, given the current quality conditions, we should probably expect yields to be reduced from the 48.5 bushels per acre that was suggested by the USDA. What this all does is point to Monday, August 12th.This is when we’ll see the August WASDE report published, and with some major acreage changes in the U.S., it’ll be pretty hard to yawn at it.

All prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne Market Comments - Grain prices spiked across the prairies late June although the rain over the last few weeks has softened pricing by a few dollars. The WASDA report on Friday gave a brighter outlook for corn supply which led to some weakening of corn futures although these increased prior to the American holiday. Proteins backed off some with weakening futures as well but have risen a few dollars the last day or so again due to buyers taking positions before the long weekend. Pea prices have firmed a little but as we get closer to harvest, it will be interesting to see if this backs off with larger planted acreage than the previous year. * Models have been updated to reflect the latest nutrient compositions of feed ingredients, which is done periodically. Feed Pea / Faba Bean Benchmark - The feed pea/faba bean feed benchmarks are intended to be used as a pricing reference. This benchmark provides a consistent and unbiased estimate of the feeding value of peas and low tannin faba beans in the three regions shown. Feed peas and faba beans will trade at various differentials to the benchmark based on local supply/demand, quality differences and other contract terms. Feed Pea / Faba Bean Feed Benchmark Calculation - The feed pea/faba bean feed benchmarks are an estimate of the feeding value of dry peas/low tannin faba beans in Western Canada, based on the value of competing feed ingredients in swine rations. Bi-weekly, tradable prices for the major feed ingredients are collected for the three regions shown above. These prices are then entered into a least cost feed formulation that is typical for grower-finisher swine in Western Canada. A feeding value is then derived for feed peas/faba beans based on their nutritional characteristics and the prices of the competing feed ingredients. The least cost feed formulation was developed in consultation with the Prairie Swine Centre. In addition to the feed ingredients shown above, the feed formulation also includes canola oil, synthetic lysine, synthetic methionine, synthetic threonine, synthetic tryptophan, mono-dicalcium phosphate, limestone, salt, vitamins and minerals.

Government of Canada investing in the future of Canadian beef Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, attended the Calgary Stampede where she announced an investment of $8.3 million for six projects that will help support Canada’s world-class beef industry. Today’s investments will help producers become more competitive and provide them with the tools they need to remain sustainable and innovative. Through these projects, organizations such as the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and Canada Beef will develop and strengthen international market opportunities for their high quality products, bolster Canada’s global beef brand, and ensure the highest standards in animal welfare and sustainability are maintained. The largest portion of this investment, $5.3 million, is going towards Canada Beef to grow beef sales in important international markets, by expanding programs with retail partners and increase foreign consumer confidence in Canadian beef. This funding will help the Canadian beef sector further capitalize on the trade agreement the Government of Canada has advanced with Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and North America. This also includes an investment of $1.7 million to the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association to offer producers new tools to build public trust in their product around the world. This funding will help all producers take full advantage of the Verified Beef Production Plus Program. “Our Government is proud to be working with industry to ensure Canada’s beef sector remains a strong driver of our nation’s prosperity and continues creating good jobs for our middle class. This investment will help grow markets, increase public trust in beef products, and harness the full power of the Canada beef brand here and around the world,” said MarieClaude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “By diversifying Canadian trade and encouraging innovation in the beef industry, we continue to promote Canada as world leaders in cattle production and to create new opportunities for the agriculture industry to grow the economy,” added Jim Carr, Minister of International Trade Diversification. “I’m incredibly proud to be from a region of Canada so well known for its high quality beef products.

With an export value of $2.75 billion, the beef industry is a key driver of the agricultural economy here and across the country,” said Kent Hehr, Member of Parliament for Calgary Centre. “Canada Beef is pleased to partner with the Government of Canada through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership program to fund and deliver important international Canadian beef market development programs that will help ensure the continued growth and success of the Canadian beef industry. Canada Beef shares the Government’s vision for significant growth in agricultural exports over the next five years. International markets add over $600 per head in additional value to the beef animal and helps the beef industry to be a significant driver for economic growth,” added Michael Young, President, Canada Beef. “The investments administered through the CCA will support the work of both the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) and the Verified Beef Production Plus (VBP+) Program, which, taken together will maintain Canada’s global leadership position in beef sustainability. This will facilitate continual improvement in the Canadian beef industry by measuring and tracking sustainability outcomes and support implementation of our Certified Sustainable Beef Framework. VBP+ will provide more tools to Canadian beef producers through enhanced producer training, improved database management and industry equivalencies with similar programs, and assurances for buyers that certified beef cattle operations adhere to the highest standards of food safety, biosecurity, animal care and environmental stewardship,” wrapped Anne Wasko, Chair of CRSB and Cecilie Fleming, Chair of the VBP+ Management Committee.

Supporting grains and oilseeds exports around the world

The best fields start with the best seed.

Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, announced an investment of more than $13 million for a variety of projects that will help to strengthen, diversify and grow Canada’s grains and oilseeds exports. These investments will help Canada’s agricultural and agrifood exporters in their efforts to diversify markets, positioning them to take full advantage of new opportunities created through the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Combined with Canada’s other free trade agreements, Canadian farmers and producers with preferential market access to an estimated 1.5 billion consumers in more than 50 countries. This funding will help the sector to strengthen its market access and development strategies, enhance promotional efforts, and gain a deeper understanding of the growing demands for new and existing markets. The projects are funded through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership’s AgriMarketing Program, which helps industry increase and diversify exports to international markets and seize market opportunities. The program supports industry-led promotional activities that differentiate Canadian products and producers, and leverage Canada’s reputation for high quality and safe food. “By helping our grain and oilseed industries increase international demand for our high quality products, we are creating opportu-

nities for our hardworking producers to take full advantage of new trade agreements with key markets,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood. “Our government is committed to diversifying trade and opening new markets for Canadian exporters - including Canada’s farmers. Our high-quality agriculture and agri-food products are in demand around the globe and we want to help our farming families to make the most of that,” added Omar Alghabra, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade Diversification. “This announcement is another encouraging step towards building our brand of higher protein Canadian feed barley in the Chinese market. We would like to thank the federal government for their commitment, and reiterate our enthusiasm for building upon our past successes,” said Zenneth Faye, Chair, Barley Council of Canada.

Of course you’ve heard about those herd bound horses As usual the best question is: “Why can’t I ride my horse away from the herd?” The answer is the horse is more comfortable, trusting, secure, interested, and feels safer with the herd than with the rider. We need to switch this around so that the horse feels these things with us instead. A herd bound horse has a lot of anxiety and usually carries more issues than just being herd bound. Some of the other issues that might show up are hard to load, spooky on the if you can get on the trail, argues about going forward, kicks out or rear, trouble being tied unless other horses are near, nervous if the wind blows, hard to handle in general when they are away from the herd. This occurs because the horse does not view us as the leader and someone that they feel is captain of the ship. Their leader is in the field back at the ranch. The quickest way I have seen or ever used to be able to get on any horse and ride off into the sunset by yourself is to earn their trust, confidence and respect. The better you get at these skills the faster you will be riding anywhere you want on any horse calmly without the whinnying. Not only does your horse forget about being herd bound, everything improves. When the horse sees you as a leader they go when and where you want willingly, enjoying the outing as much as you do. It only takes two or three sessions with an unstarted horse to get it to where it will go out on a trail and ride willingly away from the herd. In the meantime there are some other things you can do that will help. Slowly separate the herd bound horse from the field and horses it id used to living with. Splitting one group into two groups or introducing one new horse to another and have them learn to live with a horse or horses they don’t know. Separating a horse

out of the herd and area it has been living in and moving it to another area or pen without any of it’s pasture mates it very stressful for the horse. They can get so worked up that if they are in a pen that they think they can jump out of they may try. They can pace back and forth in the pen hardly eating or drinking losing weight daily. The more gradual that we can make the transition, the safer and less chance that injuries will occur. Moving the horse from the herd helps somewhat with the herd bound issue however it doesn’t get the horse to see the owner/rider as the leader. The worst example of herd bound horses I have witnessed was a bunch of Warmblood horses I was starting in the US that were destined for a jumping career. Many were getting to be 6, 7, even 8 years of age. The older they get the worse they get, because every year that goes by the worries they have become more real and ingrained in their minds. The horses were very sheltered from everyday things that go on around a ranch. The more we protect and shelter horses, the more issues you can expect them to have. If a tree moved in the wind they would run sideways for a hundred yards trying to get back to their pens. No horse could be tied, and horses had to be moved from the area if there was going to be a noise in the barn. This kind of thinking causes horses to get worse instead of better. When a horse is exposed to something new they may get agitated, anxious, worried. Open their worlds to the possible things that may go on (don’t avoid) and it will go a long way to some more positive behaviours in our horses. I will mention again that your horse needs to see you as a leader and that does not happen only by exposing them to things. We need to know how to earn their respect and build their confidence in a way that horses respond to and understand. The higher the level in these areas the less troubles we will have with our horses. Stage 1 of the Master Horsemanship DVD series is a good place to start. There are 7 patterns on the ground that transfer into the saddle. There is 7 elements in the saddle that are directly tied the 7 patterns on the ground so one is always

encouraging and building the other. There is no confusion from the horse’s point of view because we are not changing the messages when we get on or off. Using phases, feel, timing, talking to the correct zone, reading the horse - the more of these things done correctly, or the closer we get to what correct might be, then with some consistency comes confident, respectful, understanding horses. We must have control of the horse’s feet. To some that means they can make the horse stand still by hanging unto the bottom of the halter. To me that looks like the horse has made the person stand still, because he can’t move without the horse moving because he has to hold the horse by the chin hairs (Bottom of the halter). Then what happens next is the horse starts moving the person, because if the person doesn’t move they will get stepped on. In this scenario the horse is learning the opposite of confidence, respect and understanding because they are in charge, doing the leading. We need to be able to have our horses stand or lead, go slow or fast, beside us, behind us, away from us, either side of us and whether our feet are moving or not, one step or many, forwards or backwards, forequarters or hind, responsive and soft without a tight lead. These skills are proof that many good things are starting to get established and the horse is beginning to see you as a leader. Enjoy your horses and the wonderful opportunity they give us to learn.

Small ruminants as pets: basic care By Dr. Carmen Schneider In recent years, the practice of having livestock as pets rather than as a production animal has increased dramatically. We love to see this as we encourage human-animal bonds of all types, however, it is important to know how to take care of these animals and their specific needs. In this article I will focus on sheep and goats and what they need to live a happy healthy life, focusing on keeping just a few as pets. Shelter and Fencing: Your sheep and goats should have plenty of room to display their natural behaviours. There should be shelter within their enclosure for protection from extreme weather (both hot and cold). Ensure that you have very secure fencing especially for goats as they like to escape. Environmental enrichment such as objects to climb on is helpful to keep them active and busy. If you are breeding your sheep and goats, you need a warm place to put them for lambing/kidding such as a well-insulated barn. Nutrition: It is important to keep in mind what kind of digestive system sheep and goats have: they are ruminants so they are similar to a cow. This means their diet should mainly consist of grass or hay. The amount and quality of hay partially depends on outside temperature and whether they are pregnant can have a large effect on how much they require. Grass/hay that is predominantly grass is better suited than one very rich in alfalfa. In fact they can be used to clean up weeds as well but always make sure they have other good quality grass available at the same time. Grain should only be used where needed depending on their energy demand. If your sheep/goat does not get much exercise and isn’t having lambs/kids then they should not need any additional grain. If you are breeding them, they will need supplemental grain. It is crucial that they always have mineral and salt supplements available throughout the year as their regular diet of grass/hay does not provide them with all the essential minerals. It is very important to have mineral specific to sheep or goats or it can be toxic. It is important to learn how to body condition score your animals to be able to prevent them from becoming too thin or fat. There is computer software that can be purchased called SheepBytes that will create a balanced diet with the food resources you have at hand which is very useful in keeping them nutritionally balanced. Vaccination and Deworming: The most important vaccine is for clostridi-

al diseases. This should be done before lambing so that antibodies get passed down to the lambs/kids. There has been a lot of resistance to dewormer in small ruminants, so it is best to bring in fecal samples before deworming to ensure they really need it and after deworming to make sure what we are using is working. We are happy to help you with your herd specific deworming plan. Reproduction: If you are wanting to breed your sheep and goats, make sure you have enough time to invest for lambing/kidding season. Sheep and goats have a specific time of the year when they cycle and generally can only be bred during this time. Each breed can have slightly different time of the year and length of time when they cycle. It is very important to ensure that the animals get proper nutrition throughout pregnancy and especially in the last part of the pregnancy. Lambing or kidding season requires a very close eye on the animals around the clock and can be very labour intensive. Be sure to plan ahead for this. Be sure to contact your veterinarian prior to lambing/kidding season for more detailed information on when intervention is necessary, what to do in emergencies, and proper care of lambs/kids. This has been a very quick, superficial overview of the care of small ruminants. They are great animals to have around the property but I encourage you to get educated prior to acquiring them as they do require very specific care. We are happy to help you out with all your sheep and goat questions!

Land matcher to help new farmers in remote communities New and young farmers in northern and central British Columbia will have access to support and services to enter the farming sector following the expansion of the B.C. Land Matching Program (BCLMP), delivered by Young Agrarians. “I am so excited to be part of this initiative providing land access support to new farmers, and landowners, as they endeavour to grow food and community across north and central B.C.,” said Jolene Swain, the new dedicated land matcher for central and northern B.C. “Having lived and farmed in the North for almost five years, I grow ever more appreciative of the resourcefulness, ingenuity, self-reliance and generosity of our rural communities, and look forward to promoting the ready opportunities that our region provides for aspiring new farmers.” Through the BCLMP, Swain will connect farmers looking for land with landowners wanting to lease their land for farming. Residing in New Hazelton and a farmer herself, Swain has a master’s degree in biology and a love for the natural world. Her past field work ranges from studying pikas — a small mountain-dwelling mammal — and plants, to biodiversity surveys in the boreal forest, to researching caterpillars and climate change in the organic orchards of the Similkameen Valley. “Land matchers are making it much easier for young people and aspiring farmers to find affordable, suitable land and enter British Columbia’s vibrant farming sector,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “Their work to connect farmers and landowners in more remote areas will help ensure farmland is being farmed and secure the industry and land for fu-

ture generations.” Swain’s experience will help in leading landlinking workshops in the fall, developing relationships with landowners, land seekers and community leaders, and working with parties to negotiate land leases. She will also conduct a land access needs assessment in the region

by engaging with farmers, landowners, local governments and ministry staff. Expanding the program into the central and northern regions of B.C. will also include “land socials,” events that provide opportunities to view available farms and connect communities to resources for leasing land.

SHEPHERD’S DIARY

by Andy Tschetter

BC Historic Timeline: Down Sheep Memory Lane By Andrew Tschetter It was humid. It was hot and the weather was beautiful the last time the ALL CANADA CLASSIC was held in this province. Tiny Barriere, BC, nestled into the North Thompson River valley, proved a fitting locale in representing the rugged beauty of BC. A social vanguard of sort to the gathering of purebred sheep breed-

ers from across Canada as it hosted the national purebred show back in June of 2013. Judges Doug Higginson from Mill Bat, BC and Raymond Read from South Africa had their work cut out for them when it came to the final showdown. They had to ponder how to pick the best of the 15 breeds of sheep that came in all shapes and sizes. Ultimately, both judges

agreed that a Charollais ewe and a Suffolk ram should be the Supreme Champions at the show, both saying they liked the femininity of the ewe and the meatiness of the ram. The ram came from Keith Todd of Locknow, Ontario who made his first trip to BC. This Classic was also a first for John & Cathy Hope of Langley, BC, who brought the winning Charollais ewe. The Supreme flock title went to Don and Deborah Wyntinck of Nanaimo, whose North Country Cheviot sheep won out over strong classes of Dorset, Hampshire and Suffolk among others. The Classic Sheep Show & Sale is the Canadian purebred sheep breeders’ yearly premier event and is held in a different province each year, alternating from east to west, sponsored by the provincial sheep association, allowing producers to see different breed and what level of development purebred sheep have attained. The 2019 All Canada Classic was held July 18 – 21 in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. Left; Suffolk sheep are of regal bearing and have demonstrated winning qualities with their natural flair over the years. This yearling Suffolk ewe consigned by Jordan Livestock of Rimbey, Alberta at the Barriere Classic.

Grandfathering extended for manufactured homes for immediate family in ALR The grandfathering period for manufactured homes for immediate family members in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) has been extended to February 2020. This is a result of a regulatory change brought into force July 4, 2019, as work continues to protect farmland and support farmers. “Less than 5% of B.C.’s land is in the ALR. We need to protect this farmland to support farmers, encourage agriculture jobs and strengthen food security in B.C.,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “As we’ve worked to make long-overdue changes to help farmers farm, we heard from people living in the ALR, many who said they aren’t farming but

purchased ALR land for residential use. We understand that some have been caught in the transition. We’ve listened and have given people a bit more time to get their permits in place.” Landowners in the ALR will now have until Feb. 22, 2020, to obtain all the required permits and authorizations to place a manufactured home for immediate family on their property. “We are happy about this change as it gives our son and his family the opportunity to have a home on our ALR property,” said Kris Welk of the Comox Valley, “It provides us with the flexibility we need so we can age in place with our family.”

Better baling starts

with a cleaner cut.

Government will engage with B.C. farmers, agricultural associations and local governments as work continues to help B.C. farmers farm. “We appreciate the Ministry of Agriculture listening to the township’s concerns regarding recent changes to the Agricultural Land Commission regulations,” said Christine Fraser, mayor, Township of Spallumcheen. “This interim plan will help families who were already in process with their second residence when the changes occurred. We look forward to consulting with the ministry next year on future regulations that will provide more flexibility for families that are farming in our community.”

hurt our producers,” said Popham. “The ALR has been around for over 40 years, and there’s a lot of work to do to modernize it so it works for farmers today. We now have updated legislation in place, and we’ve been working on regulations. As part of that, we’re looking at how we can provide farmers with more flexibility in their businesses, while continuing to preserve the valuable farmland they rely on.”

The change is part of ongoing work on regulations for Bill 522018 and Bill 15-2019 to protect farmland and support farmers. Farmers in the ALR continue to be able to build additional residences to support farm use, including manufactured homes, by application to the Agricultural Land Commission. “When the old government made changes to the ALR, they took a piecemeal approach that

“Everyone at the Table!” the Food Policy for Canada

Get a Better Bale

Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, along with Randy Boissonault, Member of Parliament for Edmonton Centre, visited MacEwan University to highlight a $24.4 million investment through the recently launched Food Policy for Canada to help the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) crack down on food fraud. The funding will help the CFIA tackle the mislabeling and misrepresentation of food products in order to protect consumers from deception and companies from unfair competition. This investment includes the revamping of the current food fraud program, conducting more inspections and collecting more samples to uncover sources of food fraud, and gathering surveillance data for additional intelligence. The funding will also support the development of new detection methods and tools to help identify food fraud, and enhance efforts to bring awareness to partners to improve food authenticity.

By tackling food fraud, the Government of Canada is also protecting domestic producers, such as honey producers, from unfair competition. On July 9th, the Government released a report announcing that surveillance and enforcement actions by the CFIA prevented nearly 12,000 kg of adulterated honey, valued at close to $77,000, from entering the Canadian market.

The Food Policy for Canada is the product of consultation and collaboration with Canadians across the country. The Government of Canada heard from more than 45,000 Canadians, including food producers and processors, experts in environment, health and food security, Indigenous groups, non-government organizations, and community advocates. The vision for the Food Policy for Canada developed through these consultations is: All people in Canada are able to access a sufficient amount of safe, nutritious and culturally diverse food. Canada’s food system is resilient and innovative, sustains our environment, and supports our economy.

To realize this vision, the Government of Canada is investing $134 million through Budget 2019, to support new initiatives in key action areas, including: a Local Food Infrastructure Fund designed to support community led project that improve access to safe, healthy and culturally diverse food; a new Canada Brand and Buy

Canadian promotional campaigns that will aim to increase pride and consumer confidence in Canadian food; support for community-led projects like greenhouses, community freezers, and skills training that address food challenges and food insecurity in Northern and isolated communities; a challenge fund to support the most innovative food waste reduction ideas in food processing, grocery retail, and food service; taking the first steps to work alongside provinces, territories, and not-for-profit organizations towards the creation of a National School Food Program; and the creation of a Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council to bring together the expertise and diversity needed beyond government to address the food challenges of today, as well as challenges in Canada’s food system in the future. The Food Policy for Canada aligns with the objectives of initiatives across the Federal Government, such as the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, the Heathy Eating Strategy, and the Poverty Reduction Strategy, among others. “Our Government is committed to addressing food fraud, which is an emerging issue resulting in consumers and food business not getting what they are paying for. It can pose a potential health risk to consumers, reputational risks to our world-class Canadian food industry, as well as unfair competition for our producers. Through the Food Policy for Canada, we will address those risks and ensure our food system can prosper and grow,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood. “I am proud to join Minister Bibeau here in Edmonton to announce important investments that will help Canada tackle the issue of food fraud, and help crack down on mislabeling and misrepresentation of food products,” added Randy Boissonault, Member of Parliament for Edmonton Centre. Food fraud can be found in all different types of food but may be most often reported in olive oil, honey, dry spices, fish, and organic food products. In certain cases, food fraud can be a health risk if someone has food allergies and/or when a hazardous material is added to food, such as melamine in milk. Food fraud can occur at any step in the food processing continuum (raw product, processing, packaging, etc.).

Task force to boost B.C. agriculture through tech, innovation The Province has created the Food Security Task Force to find new ways to use technology and innovation to strengthen B.C.’s agriculture sector and grow the economy by helping farmers farm and processors become more productive, now and in the future.

Jobs, Trade and Technology. “It will also make recommendations to support our agritech companies as they scale up and anchor their operations here at home, creating clean jobs for British Columbians and contributing to a sustainable economy for the future.”

idly changing how we grow food, it is more important than ever that we make sure B.C.’s agritech sector has the support it needs to thrive. On behalf of the task force, we look forward to preparing a report for the government on how B.C. can help make that happen.”

“By helping farmers put more B.C. farmland into production, our government is supporting the province’s agricultural industry and strengthening food security for all British Columbians,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “We are always looking for new ideas as we continue to help farmers produce more, grow new crops and develop thriving businesses. I know the task force will identify further innovations to support the sector and I’m looking forward to receiving their recommendations.”

Raghwa Gopal, president and CEO, Innovate BC, will participate on an invited basis as an ex-officio member of the Food Security Task Force.

The task force will speak with stakeholder groups and provide a final report to the ministers of Agriculture and Jobs, Trade and Technology by Dec. 31, 2019.

“B.C. has an opportunity to be the best in the world when it comes to innovation in our agricultural sector,” said Peter Dhillon. “At a time when climate change and technology are rap-

The public is invited to provide comments online: https://engage.gov.bc.ca/foodsecuritytaskforce/

The three-member task force, led by Peter Dhillon, chair, with Arvind Gupta and Lenore Newman as members, will assess and provide strategic advice on opportunities to: apply agri-technologies to help farmers and producers enhance productivity, increase economic competitiveness and sustainability, reduce waste and help make sure B.C. farmers are growing the food needed to meet demand; expand the emerging agritech industry in B.C. as a standalone economic sector to produce technologies that will be in demand globally; support the objectives of CleanBC, both through the adoption of technologies and practices that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and increase access to fresh, healthy food and support local economies in communities throughout B.C. “This task force will evaluate ways of innovating in this important sector with the goal of improving access to quality, healthy food for everyone,” said Bruce Ralston, Minister of

“This partnership means more support for our agricultural industry and reaching new markets and consumers all over the province,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “Working alongside White Spot and Triple O’s will help highlight the Buy BC brand, which encourages British Columbians to purchase products grown or produced here at home.” Popham was joined by Warren Erhart, White Spot president, suppliers and industry members to kick off the Buy BC campaign at the White Spot home office in Vancouver. This partnership highlights

White Spot and Triple O’s continuing commitment to supporting local farmers and producers and to raising awareness of the Buy BC brand. White Spot and Triple O’s are the first restaurant chains to join the Buy BC program.

White Spot will allocate a portion of the Buy BC partnership program funds to support internal initiatives that take graduates of its in-house Red Seal training program on tours of farms, fields and pastures around the province to further their learning on the importance of supporting and buying B.C. products.

Starting on July 8, 2019, blueberry milkshakes made with B.C. berries and Island Farms ice cream will be available at 102 Triple O’s and White Spot locations, and starting on July 15, White Spot will begin featuring its popular B.C. blueberry pie. The Buy BC logo will be featured on menus and point of sale materials, reaching as many as one million guests visiting the restaurants located around the province each month.

“We are excited to enter into this partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture,” said Erhart. “It not only reinforces one of our core beliefs in supporting the many people and companies in B.C. that provide us with fresh, local ingredients, but also gives our Red Seal

Established in 1928, White Spot has been leading the way in serving its guests more fresh, locally grown ingredients than any other full-service restaurant chain in the province. Its menus feature B.C. produce and products, such as chicken, artisan greens, eggs,

FCC Drive Away Hunger supports school meal programs Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is contributing $100,000 to school meal programs across Canada as part of FCC Drive Away Hunger. For a third year in a row, FCC is supporting meal programs offered at 100 schools across Canada. Recipient schools are selected based on need by local FCC offices. “When children have enough to eat, they can focus on learning, which sets them up for success,” said FCC president and CEO Michael Hoffort, in announcing this year’s goal to collect the equivalent

of five million meals for Canada’s food banks. “We are proud to be a source of support for school meal programs and local food banks that have a significant impact on the lives of Canadian youth and their families each day. We couldn’t do it alone, our customers, partners and school communities are key to the success of that campaign.” One of the more visible activities of FCC Drive Away Hunger involves driving a tractor and trailer through communities to collect food and cash donations for food

banks across the country. The tractor tours will take place between October 8 and 18 across Canada to collect food and cash donations from individuals and organizations, including industry partners and schools. FCC offices are also now collecting food and cash donations until October 18. One hundred per cent of donations go to Canadian food banks, and anyone can visit fccdriveawayhunger.ca to make a monetary donation. “Canada’s agriculture industry is

generous and hard-working,” said Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau. “Those qualities are reflected in the success of FCC Drive Away Hunger which gives local food banks a much-needed boost each year. I applaud FCC and the agriculture community for coming together to put meals on the table for Canadian families in need.” Since 2004, FCC employees, customers and community partners have raised over 50 million meals through FCC Drive Away Hunger.

How does your farm vision lead to success?

Farm business planning experts and farmers themselves agree: a business vision is a critical element to success. Michelle Painchaud, president and CEO of the consulting firm, Painchaud Performance Group, is a firm believer in vision. “It is motivating, inspiring and aligns everyone to one common goal or destination,” Painchaud says, explaining a farm vision is the desired destination where a farm wants to be. “It is like a travel destination when one is planning a special trip.” The value of vision A clear vision provides focus and helps farms make better decisions, Painchaud says. That’s because choices are made to ensure they align with the farm vision. It’s also valuable when a farm is transitioning management or ownership. Painchaud says whether a farm consists of three, 25 or 300 peo-

ple, a vision gets - and keeps - everyone on the same path. “The older generation has been doing this for a long time, so they know what they are thinking,” Painchaud says. “A son or daughter may wonder, ‘what’s my role? How am I going to be involved?’ Without vision, they will be scattered and doing different things,” Painchaud explains. “Vision brings alignment.” Strong vision, strong farm When Wayne Rempel became the CEO of Kroeker Farms in Manitoba in 2002, he knew the importance of having a strong vision for the farm. “Vision is the long-term goal of where you want to be some day,” Rempel says. “If don’t have a long-term goal, you won’t do it.” He developed a vision statement for the farm when he started in his role, and when the farm rebranded a few years ago, a marketing firm

The Northern Horizon, July 19, 2019

was brought in to assist, in part with development of a new vision. The new vision captures the same goals as the first and maintains the company’s commitment to healthy food and the environment. But Kroeker Farms’ vision statement does more than guide the farm’s strategic plan. “The marketing company really felt our vision statement could help do the marketing of our story that we could tell the rest of the world,” Rempel says. “Before it was internal for our employees; now it’s external as well.” Bottom line A clear farm vision provides focus and helps guide daily decisions, no matter the size of the operation. Experts recommend making the time to create a farm vision and ensuring it’s used once it is created. Article by: Trudy Kelly Forsythe

Watch and observe Daily life provides many practical lessons in knowledge if we have the astuteness to step back, scrutinize and learn rather than just crash forward and miss indications that are before us. Some of the subtlest moves have the greatest consequences if we are perceptive enough to grasp their significance. This scrutiny readily applies when travelling the road to becoming a good dog handler. It is important to work dogs with an eye towards what they are doing but the bigger picture is why they are reacting the way they are. Primarily a dogs actions are usually based on movements from the handler. Handlers may not be aware of sending subtle messages to the dog because they are so focused on the job at hand. For example: the handler may be directing livestock towards a gate. The dog is helping the handler by being off to the side and holding enough pressure to keep the stock going straight. The dog is basically working on his own using his instinct and working off the handlers body language. Things are going well until the stock decide to make a break and run. The handler makes a quick move to block the stock which triggers the dogs instinct to cover the stock by going to balance and not letting it run away. This reverses the direction of the stock and so causes the stock to miss the gate. At this point the dog usually gets in trouble and tempers get short. If the handler would have been watching the stock closely there were clues to say that the stock were ready to bolt. A simple lie down to the dog or a bit of a flank to keep the stock aware of the dog may have been enough to prevent missing the gate. This bit of communication with the dog would have prevented the dog from resorting to instinct moves as he would have been working in partnership with the handler rather than deciphering and acting on his own. Watching for small movements and being aware of how the dog will perceive these movements can dictate how smooth a job goes. If there is ever any doubt in a dogs mind as to what needs to be done he will revert back to natural instincts which is to go around and bring the stock back to the handler. It is the handlers responsibility to be aware of his personal positioning and actions and how these will affect the dogs movements.

Chicken demand should keep broiler sector happy for 2019 competing animal protein retail prices climbed on average at similar rates: 1.4% for pork and 2.5% for beef. During this period, Canadian overall food prices climbed 3.5% YoY, higher than overall inflation at 2.4%. Disposable income is also a major driver of animal protein consumption. Canada’s unemployment rate fell to 5.4% in May 2019 (the lowest level since 1976) and average hourly earnings grew at a 2.8% annual pace. One potential downside to monitor: plant-based proteins represent an increasing risk to continued growth in retail demand for chicken. We estimate that feed costs declined 1.8% YoY in the first six months while chick costs rose 0.8% YoY. Energy and interest expenses also climbed. The average farm price climbed on average 4.5% YoY in the first four months of 2019, pushing cash receipts 5.8% higher in the first quarter of 2019 relative to 2018 Q1. Feed costs are projected higher for the second half of 2019. Unfavourable seeding conditions in the U.S. have lowered 2019 seeded acres and corn yields. The USDA projects an average 2019-20 corn price of US$3.80, higher than the 2018-19 average of US$3.60. Futures markets are currently signaling that this price projection is too low. Dry conditions in Prairie provinces and an excessively wet Eastern Canada could also lower the available supply/ quality of feed. Projections are for feed costs to climb 7.3% YoY in the second half of 2019. Chick costs are expected to climb at the relatively slower pace of 2.2%. The spread of African Swine Fever (ASF) through the Chinese hog herd will cause significant disruption in the global animal protein market. China’s meat consumption represents 27% of global meat consumption, around 60% of

which is pork. The USDA expects China to import a record amount of pork (+41% YoY), beef (+15% YoY) and chicken (+68% YoY) this year. These projections are based on a 10% projected decline in Chinese 2019 pork production.

FCC Ag Economics is doing a mid-year checkin on our January 2019 Outlooks. Throughout July and August, we’ll update our expectations about profitability across seven Canadian ag sectors (dairy, broilers, red meat, food processing, horticulture, agribusiness and grains, oilseeds and pulses). We’ll describe what’s happened in 2019 to-date and what we think you should monitor in the next six months. Growth in Canadian broiler production slowed in the first five months of 2019, falling under the 3% pace we’d anticipated in our January outlook. Even with the farm price increasing at a slightly faster pace than input costs, broiler operations recorded positive profitability. We expect positive profit margins for the remainder of 2019 along with stronger growth in broiler production. Trends for broiler operations to watch Strength in retail demand for chicken High chicken meat inventories Rising feed costs African Swine Fever in China and the balance in global demand and supply of meat Expansion in plant-based protein consumption Higher interest expenses despite no change in the Bank of Canada policy rate Broiler production (measured in eviscerated weight) climbed 1.6% year-over-year (YoY) in the first 5 months of 2019. Canadian stocks of frozen chicken meat averaged 54,000 tonnes over the first five months of 2019, representing a 14.2% YoY increase. Despite such high stocks, broiler quota allocation will continue to grow to meet anticipated strength in consumption. Chicken remained competitively priced at the retail level between January and April. Despite a retail price increase of 2.5% YoY in May,

Board CARIP Report

Water Advisory Group Tour

The Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) is an annual report on the conditional grant program that provides funding to local governments that have signed on to the B.C. Climate Action Charter equal to 100% of the carbon taxes they pay directly to support local government. The 2018 report can be found online at prrd.bc.ca/services/ planning/plans-guidelines/.

Tours of the Electoral Area B Water Stations were held at Boundary and Feye Spring on June 28th as well as at Prespatou and Buick on July 2nd for the water advisory group. Representatives from Aquatech and Urban Systems were on hand to demonstrate the system and answer questions from the Water Advisory Group and members of the public.

ALR Applications The Regional Board supported the following ALR applications to proceed to the ALC: The Kosick Holdings application for non-farm use within the ALR, to permit the use of the property to stockpile pipe, store equipment and maintenance materials, and to provide a small parking lot and chain up area. The Jerome application for subdivision within the ALR, to subdivide the subject property into two parcels resulting in a 3 ha (7.4 ac) property and a 126.6 (312.8 ac) remainder. The Thorpe application for subdivision within the ALR, to subdivide the subject property along Saskatoon Creek, resulting in a 7.4 ha (18.2 ac) property and a 58.1 ha (143.6 ac) remainder.

June Delegations Watch delegation presentations and read presentation materials: https://prrd.bc.ca/ agendasminutes/peace-river-regional-district-prrd/ Morrison Hershfield The PRRD Board invited leading Waste-to-Energy consultant, Konrad Fichtner, P.Eng, of Morrison Hershfield, to present to the board and provide information regarding waste-to-energy systems and potential applications for the Peace Region. Fichtner summarized the ways of recovering energy from waste with details on feasibility and cost implications. Mr. Fichtner noted during his presentation that to ensure successful operation, waste to energy systems require reliable waste supply and markets for the produced energy. Canadian Petroleum Producers Association (CAPP) CAPP shared a presentation with the PRRD Board regarding current issues impacting the oil the oil and gas sector, with an update on large projects and legislation that may be coming forward with implications affecting oil and gas activity. CAPP represents large and small petroleum producers and their members produce approximately 80% of Canada’s natural gas and crude oil. Farmer’s Advocacy Office A local landowner presented to the PRRD Board regarding the role of the Farmer’s Advocacy Office as an agency to advocate for land owners in dealings with oil and gas companies. The delegation suggested the renewal of the Farmer’s Advocacy Office for a period of at least 5 years in order to allow landowners to continue to receive the valued service. The Farmer’s Advocacy Office will be closed as of June 28th as the PRRD continues to discuss the future of the program and its funding with provincial government partners.

Enjoy the summer months and ride Six years ago Gary Sartorio purchased the Calgary Harley-Davidson dealership from the Wild family. Gary is the president of Shaganappi Automotive and was born into a family owned automotive business. This has become a trend in Canada, that automotive dealerships and consortias across the country are buying up Harley-Davidson dealerships. Calgary Harley-Davidson became another of those buyouts. The move by automotive dealerships to run Harley-Davidson dealerships has been a great thing for the industry on many levels. Training and skills are more of a focus now than ever before in Harley-Davidson dealerships that are run by automotive dealers. The key in any buyout and transformation is to find the right person to take the helm, Gary was that person in the beginning! Gary had a team that had won Platinum Bar & Shield Awards back to back. Gary’s leadership had that team just rocking and then some dynamics changed and Gary was needed elsewhere within the family company. He knew that the team needed a strong and committed leader and Gary knew that Trevor was the right person for this job. Gary Sartorio had been attempting to get Trevor Madore to work for him for a while when finally Trevor and his wife had a discussion based on the fact that they were about to become parents. Trevor didn’t want to be on the road even though he loved his job travelling around the world for Imperial Oil and the substantial wage that it brought with it. Being a Dad who is present in his kid’s life is important to him.’ After a discussion between Gary and Trevor, Trevor became the General Manager of Calgary Harley-Davidson. In the last two years since Trevor took the helm, a lot has changed in the dealership. Trevor’s oilfield background paved the way

for empowering and growing his team. Trevor expressed to me in a recent telephone interview that educating and empowering your people are two of the most critical things any “leader” can do if he wants the business he leads to be a success. “Train them to take over your job and you will always get the best out of your team,” that’s Trevor’s mantra. It’s a simple concept really when you think about it, everyone wants to be able to grow and excel in their jobs and if you give them the room and tools to grow with the whole team flourishes. Under Trevor’s leadership, the team is tight like a well oiled machine. It is why Gary Sartorio hired Trevor in the first place, his talent for pulling the best out of people. The original plan for the dealership when Gary bought it was to build a new one, but then the economy started to shift and wisely Gary decided that a really magnificent renovation would suffice. The building needed some major upgrades to infrastructure. Trevor worked closely with Gary and the vision for a reimagined dealership became clear. The dealership which is 46,000 square feet has been overhauled from front to back and it is as magnificent as Trevor imagined it would be. An old file room and storage room were turned into a barber shop and a tattoo studio, making cooling your heels while you wait for your motorcycle to come out of the quick lane service a whole lot more rewarding. The dealership is beautiful, open and inviting. The creativity in the shop has also skyrocketed and the dealership just won the Canadian National Title for the Battle of the Kings and they now get to compete on the world stage. For those who don’t know what the Battle of the Kings is: Battle of the Kings is a Harley-Davidson custom competition featuring the very best Custom Kings from across the globe. Their challenge is to take our standard Harley-David-

son model and turn it into something unique. Over 200 dealers from more than 30 countries will compete to create bespoke, ground-breaking Harleys, using only their imagination, skill and a budget no bigger than half the cost of the original model. Trevor Madore is proud of the team that he and Gary have groomed. The dealership he leads is growing by leaps and bounds and service for riders in the Calgary area, and those travelling through the province is better for it. The team takes pride in what they do and it really does show. Check out their newly renovated digs at: Calgary Harley-Davidson 2475 Pegasus Rd NE Calgary, T2E 8C3 Phone: (403) 250-3141 Web: www.calgaryharleydavidson.ca Find them on Facebook too!

A caribou misfire? The Lekstrom report on caribou recovery public “engagement” has been filed with Premier Horgan and Minister of Forests Doug Donaldson. For caribou, the news is not good. Blair Lekstrom, a long time northeast B.C. Liberal politician, is eminently unqualified to pass judgment on the urgency of enacting an aggressive long term caribou recovery plan; he lived up to expectations and punted a permanent plan down the road two years. The (more) sad aspect of this? Premier Horgan fell for it!

Locals inevitably systematically and deliberately exclude the vast majority of British Columbians from decision making. They characteristically, as Lekstrom did, pander to local industrial, corporate and special interests like snow-machine promoters, collectively known in civil service lexicon as “stakeholders”; the very ones that fueled the over-logging crisis that drove caribou population declines (and several extinctions), and then piled into caribou high elevation winter range with their essentially unregulated motorized “playthings”.

What Lekstrom does know is local people politics. But he still doesn’t grasp the significance of giving all citizens the legal right to be heard in a legally constituted process, whereby citizens take some ownership of that process and subsequently become more accepting of the decision. It is here the NDP and Ministry of Forests Land and Natural Resources seriously, and consistently, misfire.

Perpetuating the nonsense that “locals know best “is not new, but it only continues the unproductive and destructive tug of war between local self interests – loggers, millworkers, snowmobilers, and local Indian Bands - and the broad interests of the majority of British Columbians. Getting torn to pieces in the middle of this century long impasse are mature forests and caribou.

Horgan aggravated this “talk and stall” fiasco with his choice of a “local” – Lekstrom - to sort out what he and regional officials tried desperately to isolate as a “local” engagement problem.

Near everybody agrees that caribou should not be (deliberately) driven to extinction, but the tune changes when recovery means local mills will close or lose shifts, some jobs will disappear, and extreme free wheeling recre-

RHYTHM AUCTIONS Specializing In:

ation will be scaled or shut down. Scientifically, technically, or socially reconciling caribou recovery with unregulated logging of their habitat and motorized playthings harassing and displacing them in winter, is a fairy tale no matter what Lekstrom, or locals, including Indian Bands, say.

comment and participation; it rears its ugly head as divisive and exclusionary, even picking some Indian Bands over others. It also happens to be anti science and undermines the urgent need to have qualified public professional management of the entire recovery agenda, although Lekstrom avoids that call.

He wants government to compensate snowmobilers for loss of riding areas, the timber industry for corporate upset and locals who lose a job! He fails to discuss how 50 years of private sector timber company profits, gained from stripping caribou habitat, should be factored in. He conveniently overlooks the 45,000 jobs lost through timber industry overcutting and subsequent forced shutdowns. He expects taxpayers to pay again! And that doesn’t even broach the enormity of loss – to the entire world - from extinct caribou populations.

The reality is caribou recovery is far too serious for “lets all hold hands and dance around the May-pole” make-work, spread the cash around, reconciliation politics.

Lekstom partially redeems himself by exposing the insider federal and provincial dealing with Native Indian Bands that partly created this fiasco. The blatant ideological fervor to cater to indigenous notions of reconciliation short circuited pubic opinion,

Legitimate, honest caribou protection needs an emergency order mandating caribou recovery, a full-accounting environmental impact assessment that lays out environmental costs, a quick round of legally constituted public hearings, appointment of a provincial-federal professional recovery team, and designation of a team leader with legal and/or scientific credentials to ride herd on this. Dr. Horejsi is a wildlife and forest ecologist. He writes about environmental affairs, public resource management and governance and their entrenched legal and social bias.

The Northern Horizon, July 19, 2019

Forestry families fear the future For the past few weeks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been travelling around the Peace talking to forest families and folks from forest communities about how things are going. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard is concerning. Familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;those with someone working in the forest sector, and those with someone working in the businesses and services supporting the sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are worried about their futures. They have already seen temporary shutdowns triggered by a wide variety of factors. Now they are troubled, wondering if what is a temporary shut down today could turn into permanent closures without a concentrated effort to bolster the sector. Forestry has rightly earned its place as a backbone and a builder of British Columbia. Our forests have filled public coffers with immense revenues. These dollars helped pay for the infrastructure and services that have benefitted each and every British Columbian, no matter where they live. Forestry has helped build communities in every corner of B.C., including the Peace. The financial impact stretches far beyond local families. Forestry generates between 30% and 35% what B.C. earns exporting its products. Just one segmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;softwood lumberâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has exports totalling $6 billion a year. By comparison, the exports from B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clean tech sector are one tenth the size. But the industry is facing tough times, and

thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generating a lot of worries for forestry families. The amount of fibre available has been declining, a lot of it driven by the pine and spruce beetle infestations. Mills have shutting down, sometimes for a few weeks, sometimes forever. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve felt it here it in the Peace with the temporary shutdowns of the Taylor and Chetwynd mills. Instead of helping, the provincial government seems to be taking steps that are having the opposite effect for the families and businesses that depend on our forests. The government has increased taxes on the forest sector. They have imposed new rules that will impose increased bureaucracy and costs on a sector that is already struggling. The carbon tax is piling on new costs. Forestry families also told me they are worried about the actions being taken on mountain caribou recovery. They want the caribou protected. But they want their livelihoods protected too. They are concerned about there being no expansion of forestry for the next two years under the current plan, which translates into a slow shrinking of the timber available for local mills. And there remains an underlying concern that the entire sector may ultimately be tossed out of large swaths of forest lands, something that would kill hundreds of jobs in our region. More needs to be done to help our local forest sector remain strong. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential for families. And it is critical for our communities. If you have ideas or suggestions, send an email to my office at mike.bernier.MLA@leg.

bc.ca or call (250) 782-3430 or 1 (855) 582-3430. Your ideas and your voices will help me, and my colleagues, deliver the message to Victoria that more needs to be done. The forest industry built our province in the past, and can keep building it for decades to come, if the Province acts today.

programs or lowest-cost products to keep costs as low as possible. • Always use highest label water rates to get the most coverage and best efficacy. • If perked-up fields are to rebound and achieve target yields, they will likely have to branch out and flower for longer. In this situation, ‘full flower’ (50 per cent flower) could last a week or more. This can be an effective time to spray, especially in a situation where moisture changed dramatically for the good and the crop canopy is slowly filling in. Farmers in this situation may choose to wait a little longer to assess crop recovery before making the spray decision. • Generally, early infections cause more yield loss than later infections, which is why the economic benefit of a fungicide application is usually higher with early applications. • Consider an ‘on-off’ or zone-spraying approach, basing it on previous yield maps or current NDVI maps. Fungicide application could be turned ‘on’ for areas with high yield potential and ‘off’ for typically low-yielding areas. • If you need to spray so you can sleep at night, then spray. But leave a few test strips to compare disease amounts and yield. This can help with future decisions. Conditions where a grower may want to spray more than once: • Variable crop staging that extends the flowering period. • Thin stands mean branchier plants and an extended flowering period. • Note that continued rain throughout flowering will add to the yield-loss risk for the first two scenarios.
