Breakfast Brief

Game Speed Picking Up

With an early spring, we’re hitting that time of the month where field activity is picking up steam. The most recent U.S.D.A. Crop Progress shows that the seeding pace in the U.S. is ahead of pace on the cereals but a little behind on corn because of cooler/ wet weather. More analysts are starting to agree that whatever corn acres are lost in the Delta will be made up for eventually in the Midwest. However, soybean prices have held up with decent crush numbers and above-average export numbers. Accordingly, just like N.H.L. players have to step their game up for the playoffs, the relatively strong domestic soybean demand may swing some American acres over to the oilseed that were initially pencilled for corn. On that note, the first legitimate estimates are starting to come in more regularly now as analysts and companies have more data to go off of to improve their prediction models. The U.S.D.A.’s European attaché says that the E.U. will take off 151 million tonnes of wheat this year, down 5.4 million tonnes or 3.5 per cent from last year’s record crop, but that number would actually be number two in terms of the largest harvests on file. The forecast is amongst the highest out there but growing conditions are relatively favourable across Europe albeit some insect issues that are emerging. In the Land Down Undaa, the U.S.D.A.’s Aussie attaché says 24 million tonnes of wheat will be taken off in 2015/16, thanks to 34.35 million acres and average yields of 25.3 bushels/acre. This is lower though than the most recent forecasts from A.B.A.R.E.S. (the Aussie version of the U.S.D.A.) who says 24.5 million tonnes will be harvested this year, with 26.2 bu/ac yields. The more important debate though in my opinion will be exports, with A.B.A.R.E.S. estimating almost 18 million tonnes while the U.S.D.A.’s Canberra office says it’ll be only 17 million tonnes. Coming back home, the U.S.D.A.’s Ottawa office says that canola production will be 15.55 million tonnes off only 20.33 million acres, as current prices aren’t buying any additional acres. Keep in mind that this time of year can be fairly bearish on the futures markets as crops get planted, but between currency, basis, deferred delivery, etc., what’s happening on the futures board doesn’t necessarily translate well to the cash markets. (i.e. cash corn prices in Western Canada right now). Further, a futures board comparison is only available for a handful of crops! Not to say using futures & options doesn’t have a benefit of protecting and/or adding to the bottom line, it has become extremely speculative though & there are a lot of big fish swimming in the same bowl as the individual producer. Another big fish just got added to the bowl as a Saudi Arabian ag investment arm and Bunge joined forces to buy 50.1 per cent of the Canadian Wheat Board. Ultimately, there are still some unanswered questions out there but the underlying fact is that this move does bring even more experience to the C.W.B., thereby increasing its competitive position in not only Canadian agriculture (with potentially more investment/expansion soon), but the global game as well.

million for work on northern Alberta branch lines, investing in infrastructure upgrades and safety improvements, including heavier rail, crushed rock ballast and new ties, to ensure the network can efficiently accommodate future freight volume growth in the Peace River region. Claude Mongeau, president and chief executive officer, said: “CN is building for the future with large capital investments in long-term safety and capacity improvements to ensure it continues to play its role as a true backbone of the economy. “CN sees significant long-term potential in its customer base located on its Western Canada feeder network. We want to provide our customers with the capacity for continued efficient freight transportation services that increase their competitiveness in North American and global markets, as well as ensure our rail infrastructure is as safe as possible.” CN continues to see rising freight volumes in Western Canada, which have increased by more than

50 per cent in the past five years. Given this growth, CN has also invested significantly in its EdmontonWinnipeg main line corridor, installing sections of double track, extending sidings to accommodate longer more efficient trains, and improving major classification yards. CN’s major investments in Western Canada are

CCGA welcomes increased transparency on rail transportation issues Winnipeg, Manitoba – March 31, 2015 The Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) is encouraged by the government’s continued action to bring more transparency to the grain supply chain following Monday’s announcement by the Honourable Lisa Raitt, Minister of Transportation and the Honourable Gerry Ritz, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. In the announcement, the government noted that more grain monitoring statistics are now publically available. A summary of the grain volume shipped by rail from August 2014 to January 2015 is on the Grain Monitor’s website at www.grainmonitor.ca and new weekly and monthly reports will be forthcoming. In addition, mandatory minimum volume requirements continue to be an option as the data is evaluated on an ongoing basis. “Availability of public grain supply chain data has been long-identified as an area that required improve-

ment and we are pleased the government has taken this step to put more information in the hands of farmers,” says Brett Halstead, President of CCGA. The upcoming weekly and monthly reports will now include data on the corridor traffic and other important shipment measures. This will work to address the critical ongoing data gaps identified by stakeholders, including the Ag Transport Coalition, of which CCGA is a member. The Ag Transport Coalition will continue to provide an additional source of important weekly information, from a Western Canadian grain shipper’s perspective. Reports are available on Tuesdays at www.agtransportcoalition.com. CCGA will continue to monitor all available data on rail service performance and advocate for solutions to the chronic service issues that directly impact the profitability of canola farmers.

Canola Council of Canada, April 2, 2015 Canola Watch Canola seeded early usually has higher yield and quality than canola seeded late. But the yield benefit from early seeding often depends on adequate stand establishment and uniform plant populations. If field conditions are not sufficient for proper drill function, seed placement and seedling survival, then early seeding will not have the same benefit as it would under good seeding conditions. While waiting for field conditions to improve or the frost risk to drop, growers could use the extra time to perform the following pre-seeding tasks. Pick up seed and fertilizer. Check with the retailer to see if pre-ordered seed and fertilizer are available. If yes, you may want to take this opportunity to bring it home and have it ready to go. Save a minimum 500 ml (2 cups) from each seed lot in a seed lab bag. Record seeding date and rate, keep the blue seed tag, and store samples in a cool, dry place in a rodent proof container. In the rare event that stand establishment is inadequate, determining the cause will be a process of elimination. Properly stored samples may provide valuable information. Your local retailer may help with the sampling. Know the TSW for each seed lot. Many seed lots will have the thousand seed weight (TSW) printed on the bag or on a sheet of paper shrinkwrapped with the pallet. Use these TSWs to calculate a seeding rate for each seed lot (or go to http://www. canolacouncil.org/canola-encyclopedia/ crop-establishment/equipmentmanagement/#calibrate-the-drill-foreach-seed-lot). When TSWs are within one gram of each other, the grower may not notice a difference in plant stand when these lots are seeded at the same pounds per acre. But seeding rates should be readjusted when TSWs are more than a gram apart. A seed lot with a TSW of 5 grams applied at lower seeding rate of 4 pounds per acre

may not achieve the minimum plant stand for top yield potential. A typical seeding rate of 5 lb./ac. with a normal TSW of 5g and 50% emergence results in 5 plants/ft2. In this typical scenario, many Prairie canola fields are unlikely to hit the recommended target of 7 to 10 plants per square foot. (The relationship between seed weight, seeding rate and plant stand for a typical 50% seedling survival situation can be found at http:// www.canolacouncil.org/canola-encyclopedia/crop-establishment/seedingrate/). Give the drill a complete inspection. Find a flat dry place to work, and get the drill leveled. Follow the instruction manual. Also inspect openers, hoses, tank gaskets, meter rollers and manifolds for wear. Check that the electronics work properly and are calibrated. Get a soil analysis. Soil nutrient levels will be unpredictable this year given the moist conditions in many fields last year and this spring. Nitrogen could be lower than expected. And a Saskatchewan soil test lab said sulphur levels, in general, are very low. If soil test results don’t come back until after seeding has begun, in-crop applications can effectively top up sulphur and nitrogen to required levels. For more on soil testing go to http://www.canolacouncil. org/canola-encyclopedia/fertilizermanagement/identifying-fertilizerrequirements/ Check fields. Some fields may still have pools of water. Others may be better drained and ready sooner. Check them all. This may be a year to seed based on which fields are ready first instead of which crops you want to seed first. Reassess whether the varieties you had chosen for each field are still suitable. If a long-season variety was planned for the field with pools of water, the variety may provide better results in a field ready sooner. While checking fields: —Monitor soil temperature. Crop residue, shelterbelts and slope will make some soils cooler than others.

Warmer fields may be ready to seed first. Use a soil thermometer to compare soil temperatures at seeding depth. Because soil temperatures fluctuate widely, take readings at 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. over a few days and average the results. Canola can germinate in soils as cool as 2 C, but it can take a long time and produce an uneven stand. A good starting point for seeding is when the three-day average is 4-5 C. Alberta Agriculture’s weather site (http://www.agric.gov.ab.ca/ acis/alberta-weather-data-viewer.jsp) shows how soil temperatures fluctuate throughout a day. Manitoba also provides soil temperature readings. —Scout for cutworms and wireworms. Dingy cutworms overwinter as larvae and will start feeding as soon as plants start growing. This is one cutworm species to look for this time of year. For more on cutworms, including scouting tips, identification, and management measures go to http://www.canolacouncil.org/canola-encyclopedia/insects/cutworms/. Wireworms will also feed on canola, and numbers could be especially high in fields recently taken out of forage or pasture. Use bait balls to scout for wireworms. Mix a cup of flour and a bit of water and form into golf-ball sized rounds. Bury bait balls 4-6” deep at 20 sites per targeted acre. Balls give off CO2, which attracts wireworms. Make sure to place bait balls in areas with no other food source, such as weeds, within a 3’ radius. Mark where the balls are buried and check after a few days. Bring a magnifying glass to help identify wireworms and cutworms. —Assess weed growth. Are weeds emerging? A pre-seed application can provide economical weed management. A post seeding/pre-emergence glyphosate application also works. Remember that MCPA and 2,4-D are not registered for use ahead of canola. There is a significant risk of crop injury even if growers have had successful experiences using these products in the past, because different conditions will affect breakdown rates (e.g. cooler temperatures, inadequate moisture, etc.). These are good jobs to do every year before seeding starts. With a little extra time, growers can cover these tasks thoroughly and be ready to seed in full force when conditions allow.

Alberta Canola Producers Commission April 14, 2015 - In 2003, the canola industry in Alberta changed drastically when clubroot was discovered in a field near Edmonton. Since that time, clubroot has continued to spread and has now been confirmed in fields across Alberta as tracked on this map: albertacanola.com/news/clubroot-infestedareas-in-alberta-in-2014/ Crop rotation, sanitation and the use of clubroot resistance varieties are the foundations of the Alberta Clubroot Management Plan. Since new data indicates some forms of clubroot resistance are no longer functioning well against new clubroot pathotypes in some of the heavily infested fields, we encourage you to consider a comprehensive management plan that includes all of these aspects of clubroot management on your farm. The following article from the April 2 issue of Canola Watch provides an update on the new clubroot pathotypes that have been identified as well as the recommended management practices for Alberta farmers The best management option left is the four-year rotation. Discovery of different clubroot pathotypes in central Alberta will change the rotation plans for some growers. No current varieties have strong resistance to these pathotypes. If growers have used resistant canola two or three times already on fields that were moderately to highly infested with clubroot, these fields are at high risk for having one or more of the different pathotypes. Resistance breakdown is a numbers game, and with the number of spores a serious clubroot patch contributes to the soil, most bets would be placed on clubroot’s ability to adapt. Longer rotation is necessary to slow the pathogen shift that is occurring in these fields. Canola every two years instead of every four years gives science only half the time to work on solutions. A fouryear rotation is a good disease management standard — especially when

genetic resistance is not available. Update on clubroot pathotypes: Stephen Strelkov with the University of Alberta tested soil samples from 27 fields in Alberta that were seeded to resistant varieties in 2014 and showed more than expected levels of gall formation. Of those 27 fields, 16 have clubroot pathotypes that suggest the clubroot population in those fields had shifted to overcome the resistance trait in the variety grown. Preliminary testing indicates there may be more than one different pathotype, as scientists are not able to confirm all are 5x. (5x is the first pathotype identified capable of overcoming Canadian clubroot resistance.) Further testing is underway to determine this. These fields are at very high risk of developing high spore loads of a new pathotype that current resistance won’t control. The patches currently range from 10 acres to a few square feet, but can spread quickly without immediate rotation action, reduced tillage and equipment sanitation. Even with a fouryear break, these fields could still be at risk of increasing spore loads leading to an economic level of infection. What the four-year break provides, in the case of these fields with the new pathotypes and those with heavy spore loads, is time for a solution to come forward — hopefully. This experience should encourage continued vigilance in growers who have been fortunate enough to have kept clubroot out or at low levels on their farm, and also remind them how important sanitation is and will continue to be. With these different pathotype(s) now present, the following management steps bear repeating. Here are ways, in addition to rotation, that will reduce the risk of selecting for the different virulent pathotypes in areas known to have clubroot: Keep a close watch. Look for unexpected levels of clubroot in fields seeded to resistant varieties. This is a sign that pathotype shift has reduced the effectiveness of the resistance trait in

ta: When genetic ger works… your fields. Sanitation. Few growers are taking time to disinfect (final misting with bleach, EcoClear, or HyperOx) equipment because of the time it takes. But growers in these higher-risk zones must at least knock the dirt off equipment before leaving fields. At least 90% of clubroot spores that move from field to field can be stopped by scraping off dirt. Avoid tillage as it moves a lot of clubrootinfested soil around the field and from field to field. Control host weeds and canola volunteers that provide a bridge for

clubroot galls and spore build up even when canola is not produced on a field. Continue using resistant varieties and look for new genetics in the future. Never use susceptible varieties on clubroot-infested soil or in areas with a high prevalence of clubroot. Growers who do not yet have clubroot in their fields are encouraged to use the following practices: • Scout vigilantly for signs of clubroot. • Avoid the introduction of clubroot by cleaning and monitoring equipment entering fields.

Although 20 C is the optimal soil temperature for canola to germinate quickly and evenly, 10 C is a reasonable soil temperature to seed canola, and the general recommendation is that 5 C is a good place to start. Weather forecasts for the week after seeding will help indicate whether the seedbed will be warming or cooling during germination. Canola can germinate at soil Continued on page 16

Very early seeding increases the frost risk and may not provide a yield advantage over your regular early seeding date. Early seeding usually improves canola yield potential and quality, but these benefits depend on survival of a sufficient plant population — ideally 7 to 10 plants per square foot, and a minimum 4 to 5. An earlyseeded crop that is thin and uneven because of a damaging frost will not meet yield and quality expectations. Typically, the maximum yield benefit comes when canola is seeded in late April to mid May. The exact window depends on the region and the season.

Is It Too Early To Seed? Before making the decision to seed earlier than usual, consider: Typical date of last killing spring frost. Canola seedlings can typically withstand some light frost (e.g. -2 C to -6 C) without signiﬁcant mortality, but crop development may be delayed in those situations. Higher mortality occurs when the frost happens the morning after warm to hot spring days. (Go to http://www.canolawatch. org/2015/04/02/frost-average-date-of-last-springfrost/ to check out the

Cattle Market Report

14 The Northern Horizon, April 24, 2015

Always Finish What You Start How simple or challenging that maneuver can become has a lot to do with horsemanship skills and/or what level of horse we are trying to develop. Many riders just turn and if the horse goes south when he was headed north they are very satisfied. However, there is a lot of uncertainty in that for the horse because of how he was asked to turn. The way he turned could be different every time because there was so little thought that went into a plan of how the turn was to be done. Turning and going the other way is not much of a plan. It is like saying to your friend I’ll meet you at Tim Horton’s in Saskatchewan and you both jump in your vehicles the next morning trying to find each other somewhere in Saskatchewan. Here are some questions or ideas we should be asking ourselves, or a plan we might consider if we want more than to just turn and go the other way. First of all, we want our horses to go with us in the turn - not before and not after. Good horsemanship is good partnering and is done together as a unit, where neither the horse nor rider feel pushed, pulled, held back or in a struggle. We will never have the true freedom and unity that is possible with a horse without a plan and then finishing what you start. There will be struggle in the beginning because the unity with a horse is built through consistency and the certainty of exactly what you want. Here is a possible list of things to look for in a turn. Do you want to turn on the forequarters or hindquarters? Which foot do you want him turning on, there are four of them to pick from. Or, do you want to have the horse reaching equally in the turn, which means his back feet follow the tracks of the front feet. What do you want his head to be doing through the turn? Of course he must be soft, but do you want his nose tipped right or left? Are you expecting vertical flexion through the turn or not this time? What are you doing in the saddle? Where have you placed your weight? What leg are you using? What are you doing with your seat? Where are you looking? What are you doing with the reins? Which hand is higher? Which rein is shorter? What side of the spine are you sitting on? As you can see

The CODE of the WEST

Ten Principles to Live By 1. LIVE EACH DAY WITH COURAGE 2. TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR WORK 3. ALWAYS FINISH WHAT YOU START 4. DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE 5. BE TOUGH, BUT FAIR KEEP IT 6. WHEN YOU MAKE A PROMISE, 7. RIDE FOR THE BRAND 8. TALK LESS AND SAY MORE S 9. REMEMBER THAT SOME THING AREN’T FOR SALE LINE 10. KNOW WHERE TO DRAW THE Na t u r a l Ho r s e m a n s h i p w i t h G l e n n S t e wa r t

This is the third article in a series I am writing inspired by The Code of The West, Ten Principles to Live By. They are strong core principles that bring power and meaning to anything worth doing. Since horsemanship and becoming a horseman is worth doing, I thought I would apply these principles in a few articles. Horses want certainty. As I have mentioned in the past, they also find security in knowing who the leader is and, it has to be the human. It is very unsettling for horses to be uncertain about who is the leader. Hopefully, leaders make, or try to make, good decisions and then follow through with those decisions. What we decide to ask of our horses should be thought out with a specific goal in mind and how to get to that goal. That’s why it’s called a plan. There needs to be thought that goes into what we are about to ask of our horses and ourselves before it happens. This allows us to follow through with our plan and finish what we start. The clearer and more specific we can be with our plan, the further along we can get in our horsemanship and the further we can bring our horses in their development. Let’s take something that appears to be a very simple request or maneuver: “turning and going the other way”.

r001949948

the list is large. Our depth of knowledge about riding and horses will answer all these questions and you can choose the best ones for the type of turn needed for the situation or what needed to be worked on. To add to the list, we must learn to be able to feel if the horse actually did what you asked. For example, if planned, did he turn on the right hind, nose down and to the left, soft through a round neck, crossing over in front and leading with the shoulder? If it didn’t happen, help him find the answer rather than giving up and riding off. Sometimes the answer or result we are looking for is seconds away if we just stuck with it a moment longer. Only ask what you and the horse are ready for and do things progressively. We have to learn it before we can ask it of our horses. Each one of the questions above is a separate exercise and there are many more that need to be learnt and taught in a specific progressive order. Then when they can be done well, it’s time to start asking for two of the exercises together then three at one time and so on. Before long, it becomes part of how you ride and how your horse operates. The unity and connection you will have with your horse is well worth the journey. The habit of finishing what you start also becomes something to admire. I love homemade bread but not if it’s half cooked.

Most common cause of lameness in cattle: foot rot Submitted by Mike Ross It is approaching the season when we will start seeing one of the most common causes of lameness in cattle, Foot rot. Muddy conditions with nighttime freezing, creates a perfect storm where soft wet skin is exposed to abrasive uneven ground. Foot rot is a disease caused primarily by the bacterium Fusobacterium necrophorum. This bacteria is a normal inhabitant of the bowel of cattle and is found in large numbers in manure. It gains access into the foot through an abrasion or injury to the soft tissue that is between the claws or around the top of the hoof. About a day after the infection is introduced, the classical signs of foot rot develop. Typically, swelling of the tissue between the claws is seen ﬁrst, followed by diffuse swelling of the entire foot and coronary band. The swelling can become so severe it can extend above the fetlock and can cause severe non-weight bearing lameness. The interdigital tissue can split and cause foul smelling grey to yellow tissue to protrude. If not treated the infection can invade deeper structures such as tendons, joints, and even lead to a bone infection. Treatment of Foot rot is usually very successful if done early enough. The bacterium F. necrophorum is very sensitive to most antibiotics and as some say, “a weak fart will blow it over”. In fact penicillin is

all that is needed in the earlier stages of the disease. If you ﬁnd a more advanced case that appears more chronic, talk to your veterinarian about other more ﬁtting options. You can also apply a copper sulfate solution between the claws and around the foot as an astringent. If the disease has gone on for too long and deep vital structures in the foot are infected, it is impossible to treat medically and surgical amputation of one claw is usually needed. The clinical presentation of these chronic cases includes major swelling of one claw, coronet, and pastern region usually containing a draining tract. In highly valuable cattle, joint surgery can be performed to fuse the infected joint. There are many other conditions that cause lameness that should not be confused with foot rot. Examples are corns, fractures, sole abscesses and ulcers just to name a few. Remember that if the foot does not have swelling and the animal is very lame it is probably not foot rot, and it does not need antibiotics. All lame cattle do not need antibiotics. Do not assume all lameness is Foot rot. All lame animals should be carefully examined and appropriate treatment instituted. Prevention of foot rot revolves around footing management. Practically it may be hard to do, however try to limit exposure to mud or uneven ground as much

Canada blocking poultry from Montana, South Dakota

Canada is blocking cross-border shopping for raw poultry, eggs and live birds from another border state, after H5N2 avian flu was confirmed in central Montana on Friday. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) on Friday expanded restrictions that block travellers to Canada from H5N2-positive states from bringing in live birds, hatching eggs, eggs, yolks, egg whites, feathers, poultry manure, poultry litter, laboratory materials containing poultry products or byproducts, and any poultry meat other than “fully cooked, canned, commercially sterile meat products.” As of Friday, Canada’s restrictions apply to such products from both Montana and South Dakota, on top of previously announced restrictions on those products from the border states of Minnesota, Washington and Idaho, and from California, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri and Oregon. The restrictions also apply to commercial imports of live poultry, birds and raw or untreated poultry products from the specific quarantine zones within the affected states until further notice, CFIA said. Live pet birds may be brought into Canada if they come with official APHIS certification. CFIA again emphasized Friday there is no food safety risk with the products in question and its restrictions are in place to keep H5N2 from spreading into other parts of Canada. “Increased mortality”

The restrictions on Montana follow confirmation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of highly pathogenic (“high-path”) H5N2 in a backyard mixed-poultry flock in Judith Basin County, between Great Falls and Billings. APHIS’ national lab in Ames, Iowa tested samples from the flock after it “experienced increased mortality,” USDA said Friday. State officials quarantined the farm and birds on the property will be “depopulated” to prevent the spread of the disease, the agency said. Federal and state officials are working jointly on additional surveillance and testing in the nearby area, APHIS said. APHIS on Friday also announced confirmation of highpath H5N2 in a commercial turkey flock in Nobles County in southwestern Minnesota; in a second commercial turkey flock in Stearns County in central Minnesota; and in a commercial turkey flock in Beadle County in eastern South Dakota. Both South Dakota and Montana are in the Central flyway, a flight path for migratory birds running from Texas up through the Plains states into Saskatchewan, northeastern Alberta and western Manitoba as well as the Northwest and Yukon territories. – AGCanada.com Network

as possible. High trafﬁc areas such as watering and feeding areas should be key to focus on. For example you may want to spread bedding around watering bowls in poor weather condition times. In the summer mud around dug outs and high bush areas can be the primary areas where the soft tissues of the feet may be damaged. Pumping water out of the dugout into watering tanks and fencing off dugouts can be an option for some ranchers. Other preventative measures include footbaths or feeding supplements containing organic iodine (EDDI). There is a vaccine available for foot rot. It is called Fusoguard®. It may have applications in certain situations to decrease the incidence of foot rot in cattle. We have many producers that opt to use this vaccine on bulls prior to turnout to breeding pasture. A lame bull in the middle of breeding season can be an expensive problem to have. Vaccination offers an antibiotic free way of helping to prevent this disease in your herd. If you have any questions about foot rot and how to manage the disease please contact one of our professional staff at Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic. www. dcvet.ca

Highly productive pastures are the biggest key to high profitability of most beef, and other grazing ruminant operations. The Alberta Tame Pasture Scorecard is a quick and easy way of doing a pasture assessment. “Determining if pastures are functioning at the desired potential can be determined quite easily,” says Grant Lastiwka, forage/livestock business specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD). “Pasture assessments will help producers decide if a pasture needs to be rejuvenated and if so, how best to rejuvenate it.” Pasture assessments look at key indicators to measure pasture productivity and vigor. Indicators such as plant population, plant density, plant vigor, ground cover, soil damage and severity and uniformity of use are assessed. The Alberta Tame Pasture Scorecard uses farm level indicators and descriptions to describe pasture health and productivity, and is designed to be simple and straightforward to use, with or without special training. “Pasture assessments provide producers with information needed to make decisions on grazing management, timing of grazing, cross fencing and pasture fertility,” says Lastiwka. “Assessments size-up the condition of the pasture and identify strengths and weaknesses so management can be targeted to produce specific

results. Regular pasture assessments along with pasture use records can be used to optimize forage production and evaluate the sustainability of pasture management systems.” Pastures should be assessed at least once a year, during the growing season. Pastures that are more intensively managed should be assessed more frequently. These pasture assessments allow producers to look closely at the pasture and identify specific areas where management improvements may be profitable and effective. Assessments allow targeted, specific management. Once problems are identified, a rejuvenation method can be selected to fix the problems. “In spring, one of the most effective rejuvenation techniques is to delay the onset of grazing until after the plant 3 1/2 leaf stage or longer,” says Lastiwka. “This gives plants time during a very active growth period for recovering vigour that was lost from overwintering and also if overgrazing occurred in the previous year. With renewed vigour plants will produce more forage and their deeper root system will access more soil nutrients. These healthy plants are also more drought tolerant.” For more information contact the Alberta Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276). The Alberta Tame Pasture Scorecard is available from ARD’s website.

Is It Too Early To Seed? Continued from page 9

temperatures of 2 C, but seeding into soils that are too cool can add significant stress to seedlings, extend the germination period, and reduce seedling survival. Determine average soil temperature by taking readings at 2.5 cm (1”) depth at 8:00 am and 4:00 pm over several days. Alberta growers can also find soil temperature information at http://www.agric.gov.ab.ca/ acis/alberta-weather-data-viewer.jsp Soil type. Making use of available spring moisture may be more critical on coarse textured soils with less water holding capacity. Potential for compaction from heavy rains following seeding, which can increase stress on seedlings emerging in cool conditions, is lower on sandier soils. Seed treatment. Seed that takes 2-3 weeks to emerge may not have much seed treatment protection left, so scout often for flea beetles.

Quality seed. No. 1 certified seed has a guaranteed germination rating of 90% at the time of purchase. High germination ratings tend to coincide with higher vigour, so seed quality is rarely a concern if seed is treated gently and placed well. Accurate seed placement. Seed at a speed that achieves uniform seed distribution and depth, and proper fertilizer separation in single-pass seeding systems. Set a seeding rate that targets higher plant densities, perhaps 10 per square foot, if seeding very early. This cushions the impact of spring frost or diseases by allowing some plant mortality without an immediate effect on yield potential. Use this time to control weeds. University of Saskatchewan research has shown that early application of preseed herbicide treatments provide greater yield benefits for later seeded crops than waiting until immediately prior to seeding.

When you look closely at a professional rodeo in Western Canada, beyond the rough rides, past the gates loaded with steer and somewhere behind a horse trailer— that is where the true story of rodeo starts. It’s those young kids playing behind trailers, who follow their families around to rodeos all across the west that are gearing up to become the next rodeo legend. It is a tradition that starts at a young age, and in Fort St. John on Saturday and Sunday, Junior Rodeoers (kids from grades 6-8) in the BC High School Rodeo Association (BCHSRA) took over the Babcock Arena to perfect their craft and blaze a trail to rodeo stardom. One of those kids is 13-year-old Hannah Pederson, who leads the point standings for all-around cowgirl this season and last year qualified for nationals. She’s been on a horse ever since she can remember. “Ever since I was six months old I’ve been riding horses, we’ve just grown up around it,” she said. And an example of that family tradition came a few minutes before, when her younger brother Tyler, who is not yet old enough to compete in the Junior Rodeo, explained how he first got his start. “I got into rodeo from my sister, and my mom and dad both rodeoed so they just kind of eased us into it… we got started a long time ago, so it’s been fun,” said the ten-year-old who first got on a horse with his mom when he was one. He wasn’t the only one hanging on the rails eager to compete after watching a number of family members take to the arena. 11-year-old Kali Atkings is waiting in the wings too. “My mom has worked in high school rodeo for many years, she was in high school rodeo and my nana is the northern director of high school rodeo and I’m just looking forward to joining high school rodeo in the fall because it will give me something to do over the summer,” she said. Down the line and all across the arena, over 80 kids (and many more itching to compete) showed up from as far as little Elmswirth, Alberta to compete and take

rock Valley t a l F

away the important values that high school rodeo can teach. It’s something these kids do over the course of the school year and they will continue almost every weekend for the next six weeks. It is a huge responsibility to be in the high school rodeo, and there’s a lot of value in that according to Provincial director for the BCHSRA Dave Jeffers. “I think it’s really important for these kids,” he said. “It gives them a lot of traits that they will use for the rest of their lives. They do their own chores, they handle their own disputes in the arena. If there’s anything that goes wrong they take it to their own event rep, they don’t take it to an adult, they discuss the issue, they resolve it themselves.” While Jeffers recognizes the deep tradition in rodeo as he watched his daughter follow in his own rodeo footsteps, he also knows that new families are always getting involved. “There’s a lot parents here that don’t actually ride themselves but recognize the value in it,” he said. “It’s a great family event and it usually lasts the whole weekend. It’s a lot of fun for the whole family, it Simmental Cattle

WPCA auctions tarps for Grande Prairie Stompede and Battle of the North

Billy Melville (wpca.com) - April 10, 2015 The third chuckwagon canvas auction for the 2015 professional chuckwagon season took place at the Great Northern Casino in Grande Prairie, Alberta on Thursday, April 9, 2015. The canvas’ of the 36 best chuckwagon drivers in the world were up for sale at two of the elite shows on the WPCA Pro Tour - the Grande Prairie Stompede and the Battle of the North in Dawson Creek, British Columbia. A number of drivers were pre-sold prior to Thursday’s auction, and overall the sales prices were down, but as was the case at Tuesday’s sale for the bulk of the shows that will make up the 2015 WPCA Pro Tour, there was a great mix of new advertisers combined with the continued support of many long time loyal tarp sponsors. The combined total of the sale for the two shows was $431,550.00, down $26,450.00 over their 2014 totals. The final canvas auction of the year will take place on Friday, May 1, 2015, at the Stagecoach Saloon in Ponoka, Alberta for the Ponoka Stampede. The first stop on the 2015 WPCA Pro Tour will go in Grande Prairie, Alberta from May 27 – 31, 2015 with the running of the Grande Prairie Stompede.

Carcass data im seedstock deve Beef Cattle Research Council www. beefresearch.ca Access to carcass data as well as other production information through the Beef InfoXchange System (BIXS) will be an invaluable tool for cattle breeders, geneticists and beef researchers in their efforts to build a better beef animal. Information is the key, and carcass data along with other information from the production chain will not only guide cow-calf producers, but seedstock breeding programs as well, says Jennifer Stewart-Smith, president of Beefbooster. Michael Latimer with Canadian Beef Breeds Council says the information will be useful if it can be connected to a specific breeding program on the farm. And as a geneticist Dr. John Crowley of the University of Alberta says the carcass data will be a useful tool in understanding how the complex world of genetics influences traits in individual animals. Carcass data is the real report card on the efforts to develop breeding stock by the seedstock operator, the time and commitment of cow-calf operators to produce a healthy weaned calf, and

the management of feedlot operators in taking an efficient animal to market weight. “BIXS is all about information and the value of that information will help in the development of EPDs (Expected Progeny Differences),” says StewartSmith. “But first we have to have the information. If all goes as planned with the flow of information it will be invaluable. We need to get that information back to the producer, and ultimately back to the seedstock operator as a guide for breed development. “We can use a number of tools now to develop animals with expected breeding values — desirable traits — but it is getting the carcass data on a large number of animals that really tells us which bulls have the proper traits to produce what the market wants.” EPDs are numbers that predict the genetic quality of future offspring or progeny of a particular bull, cow or heifer. Stewart-Smith has been a long-time supporter of BIXS, seeing the potential it has to benefit seedstock development, improve production and feeding efficiency, and foster consumer confidence in a humane and safe-food beef

GOOD SELECTION OF BULLS FOR SALE AT RANCH.

mportant for elopment research production system. “BIXS has the potential but it needs the whole industry to get involved,” says Stewart-Smith. “There needs to be a meaningful flow of information back and forth through the production chain involving seedstock breeders, cow-calf producers, cattle feeders and packing plants.” As a beef seedstock developer, Stewart-Smith says carcass data is valuable to the Beefbooster breeding program, but she also needs other information from the production chain to properly analyze and manage genetics. Along with individual cattle I.D. numbers, information most useful to her includes birth-date specifics — was it the actual birth date or the start of the calving season; gender of animal; feedlot intake date; feedlot in-weight; slaughter date; and carcass quality information such as carcass quality grade, rib eye area, backfat depth, marbling, hot carcass weight, yield grade and lean meat percentage. “From these pieces of information we can calculate numbers that are important,” says Stewart-Smith. “For example, using feedlot in-date, feedlot in-weight, kill date and hot carcass weight we can estimate the average daily gain of a group of cattle and average daily gain is an indicator of efficiency. Also, using birth date, feedlot in-date and kill date we can calculate days to harvest — birth date to kill date — or days on feed.” Back at the breeding level, StewartSmith can use this data to improve and expand the EPDs associated with any bull. Beefbooster has developed EPDs for key production traits. “And using a selection index we weight those traits according to their economic relevance,” she says. “With carcass data and other production information we can develop EPDs for all carcass traits and rate those for their economic importance.” Stewart-Smith says while carcass data is important, information on efficiency from the cow-calf and feedlot sectors may be more useful in developing EPDs. “Carcass information will be the icing on the cake, not the cake,” she says. “Too many carcass traits are antagonistic to cow-calf efficiency.” She notes it becomes a balancing

act. As they fine-tune breeding programs to select for one trait, they don’t want it to be at the expense of another desirable trait. “We don’t want to select for one carcass trait and have it affect fertility, or some other feature. That’s where we consult with researchers at Livestock Gentec to help us in the process.” Michael Latimer, executive director of the Canadian Beef Breeds Council agrees BIXS has potential to provide very useful information across the beef industry production chain, but that information has to be properly applied. “It will be valuable information for the cow-calf producer and ultimately purebred operations to receive carcass data, but it has to be made relevant to a breeding program,” says Latimer. “A producer can receive carcass that tells them which calves had certain grades and other carcass quality characteristics, but they have to be able to connect that to a specific bull in the breeding program. If they have five or 10 bulls out on pasture during breeding season, for example, they have to be able to identify which ones are producing the most desirable carcass traits.” Latimer says for the information to be truly useful for the commercial cowcalf producer he believes it may require DNA testing of animals to match sires and dams with individual calves, or more segregated breeding season management and record keeping which identifies one or two bulls with a group of females. And further, to be of value to the purebred operator, the cow-calf producer has to be willing to share that breeding information with the seed stock producer. “So BIXS has potential to provide very useful information in managing the on-farm breeding program, but it may require some important management changes by cow-calf producers to make it truly useful, ” he says. Dr. John Crowley says carcass data will be an important tool for all sectors of the beef industry and help direct research. “This information is useful to the producer to guide them in their breeding program on the farm, but also has value to the seed stock producer,” he

says. “There are so many links in the production chain from the producer, then sometimes to a backgrounding operation, then to the feeder and ultimately to the packing plant and it turns out we are not always producing the end result product that everyone wants.” Crowley is a research associate with the University of Alberta’s Livestock Gentec centre and is involved in genomics research as part of the Alberta Bovine Genomics Program. He is also director of scientific and industry advancement with the Canadian Beef Breeds Council. While researchers are understanding and mapping the genetic makeup of beef cattle the real value is in learning how that relates to the various traits within the animal. Crowley repeats a quote by Dr. Mike Coffey, a genetics researcher at SRUC – Scotland’s rural college. “In the age

of the genotype, the phenotype is king.” “And that means even though we are beginning to understand the genotype – the genetic makeup of an animal, it is the phenotype or the traits of animal that can be measured that are really important,” says Crowley. Having access to carcass data, from large number of animals across different breeds will confirm to researchers whether they are on the right genetic trail. “But the information will also tell us where research has to head,” says Crowley. “A much larger database will enable new genomic research. The key is having data on carcass type to get a better understanding of genetics. “BIXS is an excellent framework for connecting the whole industry and providing data flow to help us achieve breeding objectives.”

What beef producers need to know about antimicrobial use and resistance Beef Cattle Research Council www.beefresearch.ca There’s no avoiding the topics of antimicrobial use (AMU) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) these days. We often see headlines like “Agricultural folly spawns superbugs”, “Antibiotic Resistance Declared A ‘Serious Health Threat’ By CDC As Use In Meat Industry Skyrockets”, and “Doctors call for ban of antibiotic use in farm animals as drug-resistant human infections hit ‘dangerous level’” in the mainstream media. Headlines like that are alarming for most of us – consumers, government officials, and people who make a living raising livestock. Flip through your favorite industry publication and you’re bound to find stories on the latest release of AMR reports by influential organizations, regulatory moves by the Federal government to restrict the use of various antimicrobial drugs, announcements by grocery and restaurant chains to source meat produced with particular practices, or articles that encourage producers and industry groups to be transparent about why and how antimicrobials are used on farms. At the heart of it all, we know three things: • AMR is a real threat. If antimicrobials become less effective, then human health and animal welfare

will suffer. • AMR is a natural and very complex phenomenon, but improper use of antibiotics favors the development of AMR. • AMU is necessary in beef production, and prudent AMU will slow the development of AMR. To learn science-based facts about Canadian beef producers’ impacts and responsibilities related to AMR and to ﬁnd an excellent short new video, visit www.beefresearch.ca/AMR and talk to a veterinarian. The webpage includes a list of tips on how to avoid illness in cattle to reduce the need to use antimicrobials, and how to responsibly treat cattle when antimicrobial use is necessary.

When it comes to vertical tillage we were, so to say, a little late to jump on the bandwagon. We waited a few years after the rst VT tools were launched before we brought out our own. And our delay was not without good reason. Our system lifts more soil, incorporates more residue and keeps a sharp working edge in a true vertical tillage function. It’s true. We took our time developing our vertical tillage tool. Just enough time to get it right.

John Deere expands 6 family tractor l

New 6M and 6R models offer more power, control and comfort; OLATHE, Kansas (April 1, 2015) – John Deere has expanded its lineup of 6M and 6R Series Tractors for model year 2015 to offer producers a wider range of horsepower, frame sizes, transmissions, hydraulics and other options. “Our objective is to continually expand our tractor line to meet a wide variety of customer needs, yet be able to offer the same proven performance, reliability and service standards in every 6 Family model,” says Kory Ross, mid-tractor product manager for John Deere. “The new models in our 6M and

6R Series continue that tradition, with tractors ranging from 110 to 215 engine horsepower, and build commonality in horsepower and other features within the 6 Family.” Tractors in the mid-specification 6M Series are well-suited for such chores as haying and field work; loader, feeding and material handling; mowing roadsides; and maintaining orchards and vineyards. Operation can vary from creeper speed for working in specialty crops to 40 km/h for faster transport. The closed-center pressure and flow-

; new loader also released • Up to 30 degrees of right-hand seat swivel allows easier operational view of rear-mounted implements. • A recessed hydraulic valve stack provides straight-line drawbar pin visibility, along with lever disconnect for quicker coupling and uncoupling of implement hydraulic hoses. • Efficient IVT™, Direct Drive and AutoQuad+ ECO transmissions that operate at lower engine rpm while improving fluid economy. • Intelligent Power Management has increased to 40 hp on the 6145R to 6215R models to provide additional power when needed. • The E-PTO conserves fuel while maintaining rated PTO speed when operating a mower-conditioner or baler. “Now more than ever, producers expect to see a positive return on investment as well as superior performance,” Ross says. “The new 6M and 6R models from John Deere provide both, with more horsepower options and operational features than ever to meet the needs of more customers, and at a specification and price level that’s right for them.” New R-Series Front Loaders for Unrivaled Performance and Reliability

Along with the expanded 6 Family Tractor lineup, John Deere introduces the new R-Series Front Loaders. This new loader is designed to match with all Final Tier 4 6M and 6R Series Tractors and builds on the successful H-Series Loaders. Features of the new R-Series Front Loaders include: • Automatic mast latch system that makes attaching and detaching the loader much easier. • Implement automatic latch and remote implement latch to allow operators to switch attachments faster and more conveniently than ever before. • Side-slung leveling links that improve operator visibility and the ability of the loader to level itself through the full range of loading operations. • An enhanced version of the industry-exclusive Return-to-Position with Electronic Self Leveling technology that makes loader work as easy as a ﬂick of the wrist.

Stronger CWB increases competition in grain sector Deal marks final step in Marketing Freedom April 15, 2015 – Winnipeg, Manitoba – Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Today Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz announced Government of Canada approval of a deal reached between Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) and G3 Global Grain Group which ensures CWB becomes a fully private and global competitor in the Canadian grain

sector. With this deal, the Government has fully delivered on its commitment to Marketing Freedom by increasing marketing choice for Western Canadian grain farmers. The deal will see the investor, a new Canadian company headquartered in Winnipeg, invest $250 million in CWB, with plans to develop a coast to coast

grain processing and shipping network across Canada. Once fully realized, the growth associated with this deal is expected to increase Canada’s grain export capacity and add hundreds of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars of economic growth across the Prairies. The stronger CWB will offer farmers the opportunity to build significant equity in a growing grain company by delivering their grain. Canadian farmers have the opportunity to financially participate in CWB through the continuation of the Farmer Equity Plan. This deal will benefit Canada through increased competition in the Canadian grain market and significant Canadian ownership through the farmers trust. Marketing Freedom and the commercialization of CWB is part of the Government’s broader modernization of Canada’s grain sector supporting the creation of jobs and economic growth for farmers and Canadians. It includes an aggressive trade and market access agenda, grain transportation and supply chain improvements and investments in science and research. Quick facts The Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act, which received Royal Assent in December 2011, allowed the CWB until August 2016 to present a plan for commercialization to the Minister of Agriculture. G3 plans to build a coast to coast Canadian grain enterprise that will lead to increased job creation and economic growth across Canada. Farmers will benefit from this deal by having another major company competing for their grain. Canadian farmers will also have the opportunity to own equity in the CWB through the Farmer Equity Plan. Quotes

“Our commitment to Marketing Freedom and increasing marketing choice has always been about giving farmers the right to sell their own grain to a buyer of their choice. The removal of the CWB monopoly attracted numerous investors wanting to expand Canada’s grain capacity and supply chain. This investment deal offers Canadian farmers access to a new global player to compete for their grain and more delivery points for farmers to sell their grain. The result of these new investments and jobs will provide a huge economic benefit to the grain sector and Canada’s overall economy.” - Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz “This deal will enable the CWB to continue to expand its network. CWB’s investments to date translate into hundreds of millions of dollars in new investment and hundreds of jobs across Canada. It also establishes a major new player in the Canadian grain industry well into the future, and we look forward to furthering our relationships with farmers across Canada.” - Ian White, PTresident and CEO, CWB “It is a dynamic time for Canadian agriculture. As global demand for agriproducts grows, consumers continue to demand the high quality grain produced by our Canadian farmers. Our vision is to establish a highly efficient coast to coast Canadian grain enterprise that provides stronger market access solutions for growers and delivers value to our stakeholders and the Canadian agriculture industry as a whole. We welcome the CWB team and farmer equity owners, and look forward to working together to build a new and dynamic company.” - Karl Gerrand, CEO, G3

Natural disasters may be beyond our control, but there are ways to reduce the risk and the impact of whatever emergency we might face - whether natural or human-induced. Emergency Preparedness Week (May 3-9, 2015) encourages Canadians to be prepared to cope on their own for at least the first 72 hours of an emergency while rescue workers help those in urgent need. This week is a national effort of provincial and territorial emergency management organizations, and Public Safety Canada. By taking a few simple steps, you can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies – anytime, anywhere. It is important to: Know the risks – Although the consequences of disasters can be similar, knowing the risks specific to our community and our region can help you better prepare.

Make a plan – It will help you and your family know what to do. Get an emergency kit – During an emergency, we will all need some basic supplies. We may need to get by without power or tap water. Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours in an emergency. For more information on emergency preparations, go to http://www.GetPrepared.ca “This week, I encourage you to take concrete actions to be better prepared,” says Brad Andres, director of emergency planning, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Edmonton. “Experience has shown that individual preparedness goes a long way to help people cope better - both during and after a major disaster. Get an emergency kit now - it can make a world of difference.” Contact: Brad Andres 780-638-3204

by Trudy Kelly Forsythe Snow damage to agricultural infrastructure in Nova Scotia is adding up to millions of dollars in losses. The Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture and Greenhouse Nova Scotia report heavy snowfall amounts during February and March resulted in more than $8.5 million of damage to agricultural structures. More than $3.5 million of that is to greenhouses. The cost of efforts to reduce the amount of damage done by snow - like shovelling snow off roofs - is not included in the $8.5 million tally. Yvonne ThyssenPost, GNS coordinator, says the additional mitigation costs for the greenhouse sector is around $140,000. Maxine MacLean of NSFA says some greenhouse operators cut the plastic of their greenhouses in order to save the frames. In some cases, even the bare frames couldn’t hold the weight of the snow. There were also some losses of animals due to structural damage.

“Early reports didn’t indicate any animal losses, but since then there were 48 mink, over 50,000 chickens and 10 cows reported as lost from structural damage,” MacLean says. The agricultural associations gathered the data via snow damage reporting systems they initiated in March. Information will be used to advocate on behalf of farmers for ﬁnancial support from government. GNS representatives met with agriculture minister Keith Colwell earlier this week to discuss the losses and the impact. “It will mean less employees this spring as production will be reduced, less income, less proﬁt, less HST revenues and HST economic spin-off,” Thyssen-Post says. “Our biggest risk is structural, and in too many cases insurance coverage for wind, snow and rain damage is not attainable because insurance companies see it as too risky, and/or the premiums are outrageous.” Thyssen-Post expects the provincial government to work with GNS to explore options currently available through industry risk management programs.

Canola Council of Canada, April 2, 2015 Canola Watch Weeds may start re-growing and emerging sooner this year if the weather stays warm. The more weeds up and growing ahead of the crop, the bigger the return from a pre-seed burnoff. Research conducted at the University of Saskatchewan in wheat suggests that a burnoff conducted early in the growing season provides more yield beneﬁt than waiting until just prior to seeding for crops seeded later in May. The short list of products approved for use ahead of canola are: • bromoxynil in a tank mix with glyphosate • glyphosate • CleanStart

The Northern Horizon, April 24, 2015

On the open road WE WERE ON VACATION!! Here in Canada we have two major airlines, Air Canada and WestJet. If you live in the north of Alberta, unless you drive to Edmonton or Calgary, you are limited in your flight options. We chose to fly with WestJet and had booked flights for our vacation on line. We did not go through a travel agent as we are members of the Palace Elite Vacation Club and get incredible rates on our all inclusive resorts so why pay an agency fee! Our flight down was awesome and I expected the same for our return trip. On March 17th, the day before our departure home, I did our online check in to print our boarding passes and check on our flights status about mid day. On the morning of March 18th, my husband and I, along with some friends checked out of our rooms at Isla Mujeres Palace at 7 am. We arrived 3 hours early to the airport as required. Our flight 2213 was supposed to leave Cancun at 11:40 am. Well, it got delayed, first by 2 hrs, then three, then five and then 9 and a half hours. Apparently a storm in Halifax was the reason. We had not known our plane was coming from Halifax or about the storm there. We had not been watching the news at all - WE WERE ON VACATION! Once the flight was pushed back by 9.5 hours, we called to our resort and they made arrangements for our group of 4 to spend time at their sister resort, the Moon Palace in Cancun. They even paid our taxi there and back! All day long we checked the flight boards at the resort. We also checked our emails and called the airport a couple of times to ensure we were in the know. When we called the airport at 5 pm, for the last time, we were told the flight was

still leaving at 9:30 pm. We then called guest relations to see what was going to happen in Edmonton because we would obviously be missing our connecting flight. This is when the first disturbing thing transpired. The agent whose name I don’t know because the gal at the resort who called for us, did not give me the name and I never thought to ask his name when I spoke to him, told me that our flight had been changed and the we were supposed to leave at 6:30 on a flight to Kelowna and that they had sent us all emails. None of us got emails. In fact, I checked again today (March 20th) just to be sure and still NO EMAILS! After being on hold for over 20 minutes, while the agent went to look into things, we decided to simply hop in a cab and head to the airport and I hung up without getting anywhere with guest relations. We checked in at the desk and there was no mention of us being re routed through Kelowna. We asked about what would happen in Edmonton and were told we’d have a room and not to worry but that we’d best head through security soon. We headed to security and while they held us up saying we should have already been gone, they finally let us go to the boarding area when they found out our flight had been delayed. At 9:30 pm we finally began to board the plane. My husband and I along with our friends waited to be among the last to board as we were up front in Plus seats. As we went towards the cabin down the jetway, my husband says: “Yeah! We are finally on our way home” and this male steward made a rude comment about how his days off were screwed up because of this situation. He was very angry and had nasty tone of voice. He had 64 passengers whose lives have

been equally disrupted but he could only focus on how his life had been inconvenienced. That disturbed me greatly, but I said nothing, just shook my head. As my husband and I turned to enter the cabin and go to our seats, we discover two other people in our seats. They had boarding passes for the same seat numbers! OH GREAT. Now what? The male steward puts us in two other Plus seats, but then the people those seats belonged to came aboard and we were moved to coach. When I voiced that these were not the seats we had paid for, I was told by David, the male steward that we would still get plus services, I expressed that plus is about more than meals, it’s about leg room. I got told if I didn’t like it, I could always leave the plane. I was flabbergasted. The lady whose seat we had to vacate, exclaimed that she felt he was out of line and the comment totally inappropriate but when asked later, she would not step up to actually file a statement. She just didn’t want to get involved. I hope she never needs someone to step up and help her right a wrong against herself! The captain addressed all of us passengers and he told us he appreciated all of us being patient and that it had been a rough day for all concerned. He expressed he didn’t really know what caused the delay but that it was probably costing WestJet between 25 and 35 thousand dollars. I took that comment as his way of saying that everyone, including the company was paying a heavy price because, I thought at this time the company was going to be putting we connecting flight passengers, up in a hotel. After the captain’s speech, I asked the female stewardess, Marylin for the steward’s first and last name as I was documenting what happened a got told “we don’t give out last names.” She asked

r001919588

why I wanted to know and so I explained to her our situation. She asked for our boarding passes and then went and talked to David who then became livid and came to our seats. He grilled me about why I wanted his name and wouldn’t let me answer him, he just kept over talking me. He went straight to jerk mode and told me that he, David, had 54 other customers whose safety he was in charge of and that if I didn’t quit disturbing the other passengers with my complaints, I would be removed from the plane as a security threat. At that moment I knew I was dealing with a bully. Not wishing to be removed from the plane I agreed to not speak of our situation again and behave like a good little girl so that David would allow me to stay on the plane. When I found out he would be in charge of serving our part of the cabin, I talked to Marylin again and expressed I had no desire to have this man serve me after the way he had spoken to me, she told me to press the call button and she or the other female stewardess would assist me. Well, when I needed something I did this, only to have David start coming down the aisle, I shut the light off and turned my back to him. He went back up front. I then put the light on again and Marylin served me. For the rest of the ﬂight, whenever David came down the aisle for any reason, I just turned my back to him and would not interact with him in any way. I pointed out our tv’s weren’t working and Marylin said she’d have them looked at but at no point did anyone offer to move us to any of the other vacant seats and I did not dare ask to be moved for fear of reprisals from David. I cried pretty much the whole way to Edmonton I was that insulted, frustrated and tired. I truly felt violated as a customer and so did my husband. Now the reason we booked plus seats, in spite of what I feel is an outrageous price, is that my husband has MS and the little bit of extra room that Plus seating offers is something his body well and truly appreciates. While we were still at the terminal in Cancun, there had been a problem with the manifest. There were 64 passengers on board but only paperwork on 54. Well, after about a further half hour delay,

48 The Northern Horizon, April 24, 2015

WE WERE ON VACATION!! CONTINUED FROM PAGE 45

David chewed on the poor gate agent, he had spoken to her like she was a dog. I felt so bad for her and many commented on it but again, no one wanted to step up to report his behaviour. The bully had spoken vocally and notice was taken by most passengers who had no desire to get tossed off the plane. At the end of the flight, we waited until pretty much everyone was off the plane and my husband went to talk to David and with his Frenchman’s hands going he told David he would not tolerate the way he had spoken to his wife...me. Immediately David went on the offensive and I grabbed my husband and told him we weren’t going to get anywhere this way and let’s wait for the captain. We spoke with Captain Eric Grossman and he told us to ensure his name was registered in the complaint that he

recommended we file. When we got through customs, we could not get anyone to truly help us or give us the hotel room we were promised would be waiting for us by the agent in Cancun. We were told that because the delay was weather related there would be no hotel help from WestJet and that Cancun had no right to tell us otherwise. We were told that although we bought trip cancellation and interruption insurance with our flight, it is third party run and they - the WestJet staff refused to help us. We had no idea what the process was supposed to be as we’d never used this insurance before. It is something I intend to fully investigate and learn about for future trips. I am totally disappointed however that WestJet personnel do not know anything about a product that WestJet sells through their site while booking online. Although we did not want to fly home from Edmonton to Grande Prairie with WestJet, we could not find a car

rental agency that would do a one way rental. Our only options were fly with WestJet or Air Canada. That meant either waiting at the airport until 1:30pm to go out with WestJet, this was now 6 am, OR spending more money with the other carrier and being left out of pocket. Neither option was terribly appealing. After speaking to a customer care agent named Suzette on the phone, she helped me lodge my complaint and she got us on an earlier flight than the 1:30 pm one that had been presented to us as our only option to fly home, by the WestJet agents who met our flight earlier in the morning. The rest of our trip was pleasant from that point. At around 3pm a gal from the WestJet Customer care team who called to discuss the situation said we wouldn’t get an apology from the steward and we’d never know the discipline if any that would take place. She offered a company letter of apology, but that does not hold the flight attendant responsible and I expressed that that was not satisfactory to me in any way shape or form. She told me their standard policy is to offer customers $100 WestJet dollars for each of us but felt that that was too low given the situation. I was asking for a refund from the difference between coach and Plus for the leg of the trip we had been short changed on.. So she then offered me 250 dollar per person flight credit and I told her that was an insult after all we had gone through. I again told her I wanted a refund to my husbands credit card. She said they don’t generally do that but she’d see what she could do and so I waited for her to find out. She came back with an offer of $215 per person refund or a four hundred dollar per person flight credit (WestJet dollars)...so either $430 refund or $800 in flight credits....I am not sure yet how I feel about that considering we paid $2,942 for the round trip flights and were told that we had paid for the middle of the road Plus fare! I told her I was too tired to think anymore and I would consider my option after a good nights sleep. At this point I was working on 40 hours with no sleep. Shortly after that conversation, I got a call from the Executive Vice-President, Sales, Marketing and Guest Experience, Bob Cummings. He called me because of an email that I had sent to the company VP Clive Beddoe. Hope Lexa on Facebook had reached out to me and gave me his email address and told me to contact Clive and that I would get results for sure. After speaking with Mr. Cummings, who promised me he would call back next week after having this situation investigated, I feel much better about WestJet, but am still skeptical about what the refund/compensation/ resolution will finally look like. The current standard company policies make a customer feel like they really have to fight to get appropriate compensation/resolution but I feel like Mr. Cummings truly heard my concerns. At the end of the day if I can get a letter of apology from an RCMP officer over his conduct and the way he spoke to me. Why should I not be able to get one from the employee at WestJet? If I can be told what discipline an RCMP officer is going to receive then why can’t I be told of the same regarding a WestJet employee, especially in a situation that is as over the top as this one is? I am advocating for all passengers that might find themselves experiencing this kind of deplorable treatment - the standard rules need to change! There needs to be personal accountability! Apology letters and certain disciplinary information should be deliverable and it is absolutely wrong that it is not! This saga is not over, and I intend to keep you informed of my experience and how this turns out, so that if you ever find yourself in the position of having to advocate to get what you paid for and and ever feel you are owed an apology from an employee, you will know what your chances of any kind of real resolution are! I look forward to sharing with you a bit about my Mexican vacation tomorrow! Have a great day and is you are fortunate to live where you can be riding, please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you. Belt Drive Betty Editor & Ride

also helps reduce and control oil and blemishes) • ½ mashed banana (Bananas have antiaging skin beneﬁts, but are also good for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Because of anti-bacterial properties, bananas help blemishes heal) • 1 beaten egg (Egg whites draw out excess oils and the yolk moisturizes. Some people like to use just the egg whites in masks for skin toning) • 2 tablespoons of unsweetened yoghurt (Yogurt contains anti-inﬂammatory properties that can help reduce red swellings caused by acne or rashes but also have mild anti-astringent properties that help tighten tissues. Also yogurt helps regulate oil production. Lactic acid, one of the key ingredients in yogurt, helps smoothen rough skin, exfoliate skin and moisturize dry skin) Directions: Mix water, oats and the 2 ingredients, if needed add more water. Apply onto clean skin and leave for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

52 The Northern Horizon, April 24, 2015

Deciding on a business structure AGRI-NEWS APRIL 20, 2015

“When deciding to start a business, or to expand your current business, you should examine which business arrangement would be most beneficial to your operation,” says Abby Verstraete, farm business analyst, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD), Edmonton. “This decision should not be a permanent one; you may have to think and re-think your structure as your business grows, and your strategy changes.” When it comes to business options there are many to choose from, all with different legal and tax repercussions, and each has its benefits and limitations. “The easiest arrangement is a sole proprietorship. A sole proprietor is anyone who engages in business to seek a profit. You are automatically a propri-

etor as soon as you engage in business to make profit and no files or registering is necessary. Therefore, the greatest advantage to a sole proprietorship is that it is simple. It can also be more efficient as only one person runs the business. An important benefit of this structure to farmers is the use of cash base accounting, so any losses incurred from your business operations are eligible to be applied against other sources of income. For an example, check out Selecting a Business on ARD’s website.” A partnership is when two or more individuals engage in business to seek a profit. A partnership is, like a proprietorship, automatic. “It is created as soon as the members engage in business to profit,” says Verstraete. “It doesn’t have to be registered; however, it is very strongly recommended that a partnership agreement should be drafted. It’s popular to see spousal partnerships or parent-child

partnerships in the industry. Often, spousal partnerships are set up to create tax savings, as explained in Selecting a Business.” Partnerships are also useful for succession planning as they can help ease a new generation into the business. “However, with benefits are also costs. A partnership could require separate bank statements, and accounting records. For more information on this, go to Partnerships.” A corporation is generally created when a business grows substantially and it is no longer practical to remain as partnership or sole proprietorship. “The corporation is a single legal entity,” says Verstraete. “As such, liability falls on the corporation and not the owners or managers. Once a business reaches net revenue of approximately $75,000 it should consider incorporating for tax benefits.” There are many key decisions to be

made when incorporating, such as keeping the land in or out of the business, what classes of shares to create, and how to draw earnings. “According to Statistics Canada, the majority of farms in Alberta are operating as sole proprietors or farm partnerships. Most corporations are complex and require more professional advice. For more information on how incorporating would affect your business go to Corporations..” For more information on selecting a business structure for your business, or to re-examine your current structure, see Selecting a Business Structure for Your Farm Business. For more farm management information go to Farm Manager. Contact: Abby Verstraete 780-422-1834 www.agriculture.alberta.ca/farmmanager
