DULUTH, Ga. (Aug. 4, 2015) — AGCO Corporation (NYSE:AGCO), a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment, announces the arrival of the SOLO™ AGCO EDITION Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Utilizing intuitive mission planning and cloud-based, high-resolution mapping software, the UAV is easy to use and can increase farmers’ efficiency. With the SOLO AGCO EDITION, farmers are alleviated from waiting on slow and lowresolution satellite imaging and scouting the fields by foot or vehicle, making their lives and crop yields incrementally better. Unlike many other specialized UAV’s, the SOLO AGCO EDITION provides operators with hardware, software, service and support all in one package. The UAV can fly in up to 25 mph winds and has a max speed of 55 mph. Each fully charged, smart battery is capable of covering up to 60 acres, depending on conditions and user-defined settings, with an average flight time of 20 minutes, fully equipped. The

kit comes with four batteries, providing the ability to scout up to 240 acres in one trip. “We thought through everything a farmer needs to not only scout their fields, but also collect useful data beneficial to managing their farm and improving yields and efficiency,” says Jeff Punter, manager of purchasing for AGCO Parts. The SOLO AGCO EDITION is built on 3D Robotics Solo platform and designed to evolve with the times. This UAV utilizes a three-axis Solo Gimbal, accessory bay and swappable motor pods, allowing for easy integration of future technology and features. With simple mission planning and fully autonomous flights, this is a UAV that is easy to use and control. It is equipped with auto takeoff and landing, as well as emergency in-air brake and return-to-home features. The product includes in-app training and configurable settings in order to accommodate varying operator skill levels. The SOLO AGCO EDITION UAV brings farmers into the future. The kit includes two cameras, customized for aerial imaging — an RGB camera for color imaging and a near-infrared camera for monitoring photosynthetic activity, or plant health. These cameras, paired with the included one year of Agribotix imaging software, produce high-resolution Orthomosaics, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and Field Health and Management Zone maps to provide farmers insight into their fields and help them find potential yield-limiting problems early. “The SOLO AGCO EDITION is our field mapping solution for the everyday farmer,” says Darren Parker, director of sales and marketing for AGCO Parts. “You do not need to be tech savvy to operate this UAV, you just need to be able to press launch.” Image processing history, maintained in the cloud, allows for comprehensive field condition comparison, making it easier to have precise placement of fertilization and irrigation resulting in improved yields. Live flight data — including the battery life, altitude and distance from home — are all streamed to the operator’s controller for real-time flight control. The SOLO AGCO EDITION is available exclusively to customers in the US through AGCO Parts and North American AGCO Parts dealers.

The Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC) has announced a total investment of $970,000 over five years in 13 wheat related research projects focusing on agronomic and genetic improvements. Projects are taking place at research stations across Western Canada and target on-farm challenges and improved profitability and productivity for farmers. “Investing in research is one of our key priorities as it ensures farmers have consistent access to new and better varieties as well as advanced agronomic knowledge,” said Kent Erickson, chairman, AWC. “Access to innovation is integral in building the Canadian wheat brand and maintaining our competitive edge in the international marketplace.”

Projects include topics such as the effectiveness and appropriate timing of Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs), Fusarium Head Blight resistance in spring wheat, development of Soft White Spring (SWS) and General Purpose (GP) spring wheat with higher yield potential, influence of genotype, weather and the growing environment and crop management on gluten strength and the sustainability of CWRS as a premium wheat class, fighting rust fungal crop threats through integrated genomics research, and a province-wide survey to assess the extent of Fusarium graminearum infestation, among others.

TPP agreement will increase canola exports and support communities October 5, 2015 – Today in Atlanta, Georgia, trade ministers from 12 pacific countries announced the conclusion of a landmark Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement that will allow canola exports to grow substantially. By eliminating tariffs and bringing new disciplines to non-tariff barriers like those related to biotechnology, the agreement will improve the competitiveness of the Canadian canola industry. “Eliminating tariffs on canola oil in Japan is a huge benefit to the canola industry,” says Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada. “Once the agreement is fully implemented, the TPP will put us on a level playing field in one of our most valuable export markets.” Japan is a long-standing and consistent market for canola seed, but tariffs of approximately 15% have prevented oil exports. Through the TPP, the canola industry estimates that when tariffs are fully eliminated in Japan and Vietnam over five years, exports of canola oil and meal could increase by up to $780 million per year.

In 2014, more than $1.2 billion in canola seed was exported to Japan. As tariffs are eliminated, the canola industry estimates that exports will shift increasingly to value added oil and meal, while maintaining the overall volume of canola that is exported. “Canada has a globally competitive canola processing sector,” says Miller. “By eliminating tariffs on value added products, the TPP will increase the value of our exports and bring benefits to the whole canola value chain. This increased value will flow through communities across the country.” The inclusion of commitments to prevent biotechnology related measures from being trade barriers in the TPP could also be beneficial to the canola industry. Commitments around approval processes of new biotech products and measures to minimize the impact of low level presence incidences could benefit the canola industry. Biotech canola has been an important tool contributing to the competitiveness of Canadian canola growers. With 12 countries participating in the TPP,

and several more expressing interest in joining, setting a new standard of rules will help the Canadian canola industry continue innovating. “Leadership shown by the Government of Canada to make sure that Canada benefits from this landmark agreement will help the canola industry to continue growing and supporting communities,” says Miller. “We congratulate Minister Ed Fast and the Canadian negotiators for obtaining a deal that will grow canola exports and hope all parties will recognize the importance of implementing this agreement as quickly as possible so that the benefits can be realized.” Implementing the agreement quickly is important for the canola sector as Australia currently has preferential access to ship canola oil to Japan through their bi-lateral free trade agreement implemented earlier this year. Once the TPP is fully implemented, Canadian canola will be on a level playing field with other oils into Japan. As a regional agreement that allows food processors to use ingredients from

12 countries and then have preferential access to ship the finished product to any of the 12 countries, the agreement could also help boost exports of processed oil products containing canola, like margarine and shortening. This would further increase the demand for canola oil from domestic processors, and bring more value to the canola industry. The CCC is a member of the Canadian Agri-food Trade Alliance that advocates for fair and open trade in agriculture and agri-food products. For more information about the importance of trade to #canolacountry, please visit www.canolacountry.ca. The CCC is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. Improving market access for canola by eliminating tariffs and nontariff barriers is part of the canola industry’s strategic plan, Keep it Coming. The TPP is a necessary step to achieve the industry’s goals of 26 million tonnes of production and 14 million tonnes of processed products by 2025.

The Natural Health Products and Functional Ingredients (NHP/FI) Building Success Conference takes place on October 21-22, 2015, in Edmonton. “The event aims to bring those interested in the growth of the natural health products, functional food ingredient and/or cosmetic ingredient sectors,” says Margurite Thiessen, value chain specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF). “Focused on building success within the industry, the planning team selected four business themes for the conference: the marketplace, finance, regulations and getting your product or ingredient to the market.” On day one, participants will hear from Lindsay Sutton, market development specialist with AF. Lindsay, who has experience in the food and biotech industry, will start things off with a session on consumer demands and trends from the global natural health marketplace. “Following Lindsay is Bev Stangeland, from AgWest Bio, to narrow the focus and bring you closer to home,” says Thiessen. “Bev will present the Canadian consumer perspective of healthy foods and ingredients and share the results of a recent study conducted across Canada.” Lisa Rodwin, nutritional brand manager with American International Chemical, has several years of experience building successful partnerships that enable her to provide her customers with a consistent source of quality nutritional ingredients. Lisa will focus on the sales and marketing of functional ingredients in her talk. AF’s international relations and marketing branch will close the marketplace theme and highlight some key elements of doing business internationally. In the afternoon, participants will hear from three financial speakers on financing for success. “The day will be capped with a welcome reception offering a great opportunity to network with the other delegates,” says Thiessen. “Participants will also be able to check out the ingredient showcase.” The second day begins with Carol Culhane, president of International Food Focus, who will deliver a short workshop on the new food and natural health product regulations. Brenna Boonstra, with NHP Consulting Inc., will close out the morning with the practical tips for overcoming the challenges of applying these regulations. “Matthew James, president of Purity Life, will then discuss how to get to the market with distribution,” says Thiessen. “Matthew’s experience spans all aspects of the supply chain including manufacturing, distribution, brand marketing and export. His company is a national distributor of natural health products with over 200 brands being distributed to health food, grocery and drugstore chains as well as mass retailers across Canada.” Following Matthew will be a panel of four speakers who share the challenges and tips of getting to market with international distribution, international selling, going direct and using e-commerce. The conference will also feature an opportunity for businesses to showcase themselves either at a booth or by participating in the “buyer” or “supplier” showcase on the agenda.

3 contradictory trends in food consumption

Breakfast Brief

Chasing Headlines

Grains ended the month of September and the third quarter of the year a bit mixed as the market was chasing weather, export trade data, and harvest headlines. We ended the trading quarter and oats was the biggest loser, dropping 15% over the course of it, followed by Chicago wheat (-12.8%), soybeans (-12.1%), canola (-10.6%), and corn (-10.5%). From a currency perspective, the Canadian Loonie fell 5% for the quarter, a bit better than the Australian Dollar’s almost 8% loss, while the Eurodollar actually gained 3/4s of a percent. Oilseed prices continue to be pressured by lower vegetable oil prices (and more broadly, oil prices), albeit canola has been able to buck the trend the last few days thanks to a lower Canadian Loonie and better crush margins in Western Canada. Given the drop of prices since the end of June, further price declines may be limited (albeit I find it hard to argue against some more short-term downside risk in the oilseeds). We recently got the got the U.S.D.A.’s September 1st grain stocks report, which could be viewed as more supportive than negative for grain prices, with the numbers coming in below pre-report expectations. U.S. corn stocks were seen slightly lower than what the market was expecting at 1.731 Billion bushels, but the supply will be the largest since 2006. Similarly, soybean stocks as of September 1st were seen a bit below prereport expectations, coming in at 191 million bushels. On the wheat front, stocks sat at 2.089 Billion bushels, again slightly below the trade’s expectations of 2.149 Billion bushels. Interesting data point though: on farm wheat stocks dropped 9.3% from a year ago, despite stocks being 9.5% higher than a year ago. On that note, given the bit of rains that fell in mid-September, more than a few Canadian grain buyers and analysts are saying the stuff take off since the wet period is likely getting downgraded into the lower-grade tiers. The early harvested stuff is all ranking with good protein and milling qualities, suggesting that there could be more blending going on but more of those laterharvested cereals going into the feed market (hence, FarmLead’s recent calls to make some sales on feed grains). We also got StatCan’s most recent Canadian crop production estimates (phonecall survey-based) and expectations were that, with Harvest 2015 cruising along, the crop is surprisingly bigger than what was previously guessed at. For wheat, total production is forecasted at 26 million tonnes, again up from the July estimate of 24.6 million, but still below last year’s 29.4 million tonnes taken off. Breaking it down further, durum output was pegged at 4.7 million tonnes, down from last year’s 5.2 million tonnes, oats production is set by StatsCan at 3.3 million tonnes, up 10.5% from last year, and barley up 7% at 7.6 million tonnes. In the oilseeds, Statscan said 14.3 million tonnes of canola is getting combined this year in Canada, well above July’s 13.6 million tonnes, but down 13% from last year’s 16.4 million tonnes. Flax and soybean production is relatively unchanged from last year at 869,000 and 5.9 million tonnes respectively. Canaryseed & chickpea production is both expected to be lower this year by 5.6% and 18% respectively (albeit Aussie production might make up for it) while lentils production is seen jumping by 8.6% to 2.16 million tonnes but field peas production is expected to drop 17% to 3.16 million tonnes. All in all, today, the last day of the month and quarter for trading could see some quick moves but the market will continue to mostly listen to North American harvest activity and Southern Hemisphere weather headlines.

Not every day will you find top executives from four of the largest food retailers in North America (Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys and Whole Foods Market) sharing the same stage to discuss food trends. I had the pleasure recently to moderate their discussion at the Business Strategies Forum (link in French) organized by the Quebec Food Processors Association. The lively exchanges among food retailers focused on evolving consumer trends, emphasizing what they expect from their suppliers. As they spoke, I realized current major food trends have created some important contradictions: 1. Local vs. global Consumers increasingly want to know the story behind their food. The number of farm-to-consumer direct marketing outlets has grown in the U.S. and Canada, connecting consumers with their community. Yet, consumers want to be able to experience flavours from around the world. This global trend is not only driven by the emergence of a strong ethnic food segment as immigration climbs, but is also the result of globalization and the many interconnections our world now offers. 2. Health vs. indulgence Obesity and cardiovascular diseases are major health issues facing the Western world. Consumers are reacting to the issue by changing their food habits to include fresher, healthier food. Yet, food retailers’ research consistently shows a strong demand for indulgent, calorie-intense foods (i.e., sugar and fat). 3. Price vs. quality This contradiction is nothing new. Consumers prefer only high-quality ingredients in the food they eat. But

quality comes at a cost. And Canadians remain very perceptive shoppers, forcing retailers to work with their suppliers and offer frequent price promotions to attract customers. So what are these retailers doing to rise to the challenge of these contradictory trends? They’ve decided to focus on: · Simplicity: offering clear choices to consumers – the best food vs. the most affordable · Efficiency: cutting costs aggressively to gain a competitive edge vis-à-vis their competitors · Speed: quickly reacting to consumers’ needs in order to build loyalty in their consumer base Make these trends work for you In the future, the most successful food processors and agricultural producers will be the innovators those who offer new food products aligned to at least one of the emerging food trends. Giving consumers what they want requires connections with producers. After all, the whole process begins with the right farm product. Connections remain important throughout the whole process too. It’s no surprise that marketing and production contracts are now more widely used in the livestock and crop sectors. Contracts facilitate the efficient distribution of products most demanded by Canadian consumers and help to build efficient supply chains. And it’s only the coordination across the entire supply chain that will enable Canadian agriculture to leverage the tremendous opportunities our domestic consumer base offers. J.P. Gervais, Chief Agricultural Economist

Keeping your backgrounders healthy Written by Dr. Mike Ross If your fall marketing decision involves retaining weaned calves, keeping heifer replacements, or purchasing calves for feeding there are simple ways to ensure maximum feeder health. Basically we need to think of these calves as walking immune systems that have to be nourished in order to fight off diseases which are common throughout the weaning and initial feeding period of the animal. First, calves are only as strong as the cow herd in which they originated. Excellent cow vaccination programs, cow herd nutritional status, herd genetics and general husbandry are all very important factors which affect the immune status of the weaned calf you plan to feed successfully. Calves purchased from well vaccinated cow herds have been protected in gestation from diseases and receive colostrum rich in antibodies. The herd nutritional status also affects the quality of the colostrum and vigor of the newborn. Numerous studies have confirmed that calves receiving too little colostrum at birth are far more prone to succumbing to feedlot disease. Once again we see how important nutrition is. Stress is another detrimental factor when dealing with post weaning sickness in calves. Studies have shown the most profound stress on these calves is mixing. The weaning process itself, transportation, feed changes, and new environment are all consider-

able stresses. However, removing a calf from its herd mates and mixing him with other calves has been proven to be the largest contributor to stress. Therefore, those of you whom are retaining your own ranch raised calves are already winning and if you are purchasing calves try to buy single source calves from a well fed, highly vaccinated herd. A good vaccination program for the calves is also very important. Ideally calves should receive two sets of vaccines prior to weaning. Processing these calves at branding and pre-weaning is probably the Cadillac program that can fit some operations. If a preweaning round-up and processing is not possible the second ‘booster’ can be put at weaning. However the stress factor comes into play again and these newly

weaned calves may not respond as well to a vaccine during this very stressful time. Prevention programs and stress management will help decrease shipping fever, and antibiotic use in these calves. A good nutritional program is vital to allow these calves to consume enough energy during a low consumption period to maintain a healthy immune system. Also, low stress handling and weaning techniques may fit into your program to help minimize the shock of weaning and feeding. Our veterinarians will be more than happy to consult you with the appropriate program which fits your needs. Please give us a call and we will set up a herd health plan with you.

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry’s (AF) 2015-16 Workforce Development Initiative is still accepting grant applications from employers interested in reducing their worker turnover or improving the productivity of their food processing or primary agriculture operation. “The retention grant provides a grant to cover 50 per cent of the costs of having a consultant develop a plan to reduce worker turnover, to a maximum of $25,000,” says Gerard Bos, workforce retention specialist, AF, Leduc. “The productivity improvement grant provides a grant to cover 80 per cent of the costs of having a consultant come in to do an assessment of your facility, to a maximum of $25,000.”

Kent Shafer of Botaneco says his company benefited greatly from the productivity improvement grant. “Thanks to the grant, we were able to do an assessment that showed automation was a key area in which to integrate our production line. We now have a defined road map to ensure the next step of the project’s success. This grant has put our company in a position to succeed.” For more information about programs and grants available under the agri-industry workforce development initiative, go to AF’s workforce strategy webpage.

Native plant nursery going green

MIKE CARTER PHOTO

The Twin Sisters Nursery in Moberly Lake received $150,000 from the province's First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund to convert the nursery's heating systems.

Mike Carter

Alaska Highway News

A plant nursery producing plants native to areas where development has taken place for the purpose of reclaiming the land just got a little greener. The Twin Sisters Native Plant Nursery in Moberly Lake, a joint partnership between the West Moberly and Saulteau First Nations, received $150,000 in funding support from the B.C. First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund to convert the nursery’s propane heating system into one that burns biomass. The upgraded biomass system will heat two greenhouses to start with, but has the capacity to heat two additional greenhouses if they are built. “Although some carbon emissions are caused by wood-burning, biomass heating systems, these are much lower than the emissions from fossil fuels such as propane,” the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation said in a release. The nursery reclaims land from deac-

tivated mining and oil and gas sites. “By upgrading the nursery with the new heating system, they are showing real leadership in the development of cleaner energy options,” Peace River South MLA Mike Bernier said in a statement. Saulteau Chief Nathan Parenteau said he is pleased that the project will help reduce the facility’s dependence on fossil fuels. “(It will) increase the sustainability of the project, protect the environment and reduce operating costs,” Parenteau added. “As well, the project directly supports the Saulteau First Nations key community economic development priority: working towards the goal of energy self-sufficiency.” The First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund has provided $6.9 million in funding to First Nations in the province since 2006. It supports First Nations participation in ocean and wind energy, biomass, solar, run-of-river hydroelectric power, clean energy planning and other related projects.

to address the gaps found in the environmental criteria,” says Watson. Criteria included in the EFP are developed in consultation with provincial agricultural associations. The comparative study on sustainable sourcing standards is one of the latest initiatives to emerge from these collaborations. “We were pleased to partner with Alberta EFP on this initiative,” said crops representative and Alberta Wheat Commission government relations and policy manager Erin Gowriluk. “We see the importance of sustainably sourced crops growing in the marketplace, and making necessary program improvements to improve the EFP are the next steps in improving that process for farmers.” As demands for sustainable sourcing grow within the agro-food industry, it will become increasingly important to demonstrate that sound environmental practices are followed.

October 2, 2015 (Alberta Beef Producers) Alberta Environmental Farm Plan (Alberta EFP) is making changes to better align the program with international sustainable sourcing standards for environmental practices. The changes will streamline the process of certifying on-farm sustainability practices and will better fulfill end-user requirements. These improvements emerged from a recent comparative study conducted by Alberta EFP, Alberta Wheat Commission and Alberta Barley. The study compared Alberta’s Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) to three international sustainable sourcing standards including the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification Plus Program, the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Farmer Self-Assessment and Unilever’s Sustainable Agriculture Code. These three programs comprise criteria related to environmental, social and economic issues, and were the same programs used to build the framework for the Alberta Crops Sustainability Certification Pilot project, the first phase of this study. The results of this study indicate that Alberta’s EFP includes most of the environmental criteria outlined in all three international programs, but also demonstrated where change would better align its EFP to meet criteria. “Overall, our EFP does a good job of covering agroenvironmental concerns, regardless of which international standard we are compared to,” said Paul Watson, Alberta EFP Director. “There are some criteria identified in these standards such as habitat and species-at-risk protection that could be further developed in Alberta’s EFP.” Watson will seek guidance on next steps from Alberta’s EFP Stakeholder Advisory Committee, which has representation from ag industry associations and government, when they meet later this month. “The committee has already indicated that their priority will be

I stopped in to say hello to Glen and Mel at the Wembley Livestock Exchange on Wednesday, September 9th and to congratulate them on their first full year of operation. Since starting as a small calf backgrounding operation, Glen and Mel have slowly increased the size of their operation and offered me a quick walk-through while bringing in a trailer-load of young calves. The trailer was brought in to the drop-off area where the youngest calves were separated from the rest of the livestock who were then herded to a series of sorting pens. Once there, the heifers were separated from the steers and then each group was brought

into the scale area for weighing. Glen and Mel take great pride in their weighing area, utilizing a government certified state-of-the-art cattle scale kept at a height of three feet above ground to eliminate ground, frost and snow interference. Once weighed, cows, bulls and calves are moved back into holding pens while the paperwork goes to the office so that the customer can be paid. The whole yard operation, from customer drop-off to sorting, to weighing, to finish took less than an hour; a quick and easy operation from start to finish to payment.

winter due to a lack of fall grazing opportunities and to give pastures time to recover from lack of moisture. If good quality hay costs about $200 per ton, the total cost of the hay will be $750 per animal. Shipping charges to transport the hay to the farm need to be added. According to Alberta Agriculture and Forestry’s custom rate survey, freight charges are approximately $6 per loaded mile. If hay is picked up 100 miles away, the cost will be $600 per load. Assuming 18 tons per load, the freight cost is $33 per ton or $59 per animal for the 6 months. Yardage charges on the farm include the cost of operating equipment, corral cleaning, utilities, and wear and tear on facilities. Using approximately $0.70 per head per day for “at home” yardage, the total cost of hay delivered to the farm is $959 per animal for 215 days. This example assumes that there is less than 15 to 20 percent of wasted hay per day and that the farmer has no opportunity cost for labour. That is, if the owner can use the labour to generate alternative in-come, then the opportunity cost of not feeding cattle must be added to the cost of purchasing and haul-ing feed. The second step is to calculate the cost of moving the animals to a custom operator and pay for the feed and care there. This is the sum of (1) shipping the animals to and from the lot; (2) the cost of feed at the facility; and (3) the yardage charge by the feeder to care and feed the animals. If the price of hay is the same at the custom feeder, r001931634 the cost of feed would be $750 per animal. However, the cost of freight for moving the cattle to and from the feed yard has to be factored in. The average custom rate for hauling cattle is about $5.50 per loaded mile with 50 cows per load. A 100 mile round trip cost will be $22 per head, making the total cost of hay and hauling $772 VISITORS ALWAYS WELCOME per head for 215 days. If the feeder charges $0.85 per Bill Bentley - (250) 843-7575 head per day in yardage, the total cost will be $954 per head for 215 days, or $5 per head lower than the cost of Doug Bentley - (250) 843-7364 buying feed. 20 miles West of Dawson Creek BENWYN FARM LTD.

Dean Dyck, P. Ag. (Farm Business Management Specialist, Alberta Agriculture & Forestry) from Forage Facts, October 2015, Peace Country Beef & Forage Assn Lack of moisture curtailed pasture and hay production in many ar-ea of Alberta this year. As a result, feed and hay prices have risen dramatically from a year ago. Producers are faced with either buy-ing expensive feed or moving their livestock to feed if they want to keep ownership and equity in their animals. Choosing an option depends on the economics of each alternative. The first step is to calculate the cost of putting feed into the feed bunk. This is the sum of (1) the cost to purchase the feed, (2) ship-ping costs, (3) yardage charge on the farm, (4) the opportunity cost of labour for feeding the animals, and (5) shrink and waste. For example, if each cow needs about 35 pounds of hay per day to maintain her, it will take about 7,500 pounds or approximately 3.75 tons of hay over 215 days. Feeding days are suggested to be longer this coming

Alberta Sheep Symposium agri-news october 5, 2015

The 2015 Alberta Sheep Symposium takes place October 15-17 at the Holiday Inn and Suites South in Red Deer. “The Alberta Sheep Symposium is jam-packed with interesting sessions, a tradeshow, and chances to meet and mingle with other sheep producers,” says Susan Hosford, sheep industry specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Camrose. “The symposium is held every two years and is hosted by the Alberta Sheep Breeders’ Association (ASBA). The first symposium was held in 1969 and has run consistently every other year since. Over the years the topics have evolved with the industry and the symposium remains the signature event for the Alberta sheep industry.” The theme for this year’s symposium is The Value of Health. “Some of the wide range of topics include managing healthy flocks, improving long term profitability, benefits from grazing, how sheep behaviour impacts lambing, what impact internal parasites have on health and productivity, how drug resistance will change your management and, genetics as a tool to

Workshop —

improve your flock health and productivity. In short, there is something for every lamb producer.” The full agenda is available on the ASBA website, as is a list of speakers. “The 2015 Symposium kicks off Thursday, October 15 at noon with four great sessions that are free to all,” says Hosford. “There will be presentations and time to talk with people in key Alberta markets and who are looking at issues that impact lamb feeding. The Thursday evening session is an interactive one on Farmworks flock management software. Experts will answer questions and show how to use advanced features to select replacements, to auto-link to GenOvis and to build ewe productivity reports. You will need to pre-register for the FarmWorks session as space is limited.” To register for the FarmWorks session, contact Ronald den Broeder at 780-674-9564 or via e-mail.

ity BMPs at the field and watershed scales.” Most of the field work was carried out in two watersheds: one near Pincher Creek and the other near Lacombe. The field design included a two- to four-year preBMP monitoring period followed by a two- to four-year post-BMP monitoring period at selected farm sites. “The BMPs we tested can be placed into three groups - livestock management, field nutrient management, often involving manure, and surface-water management,” says Olson. “We found that almost all of the BMPs were effective in improving the surfacewater quality that left the farm. In some cases, nutrient loss in surface water, such as for nitrogen and phosphorus, was significantly reduced.” To register for this webinar, go to WebEx.

More feed coming; testing is vital By Richard Kamchen Hot, dry growing conditions in Alberta and Saskatchewan this summer have led to more farmers making use of less common feeds. This will boost the availability of feed for livestock, but also make feed testing more important than usual. Alberta Agriculture beef and forage specialist Barry Yaremcio says crops being salvaged for silage and green feed include canola, faba beans, malt barley and wheat. “The amount of feed available now compared to the first of July has dramatically changed and availability is up, there’s no question about that,” he says. “And with the amount of rain we’ve had in the last three weeks, we’re getting a lot of sprouted barley and sprouted wheat in swath and standing, so there’s go-

ing to be lots of feed grain available this fall as well.” Localized feed shortages, though, still exist and he predicts a drop in cow numbers in western Canada next year. Farmers using less common feeds should be more vigilant about testing than usual to ensure what they’re feeding their livestock is safe and nutritious. Canola typically is more heavily fertilized than other crops, leaving it with higher nitrate and sulphur levels. High nitrate levels can kill, and too much sulphur can cause polio. The hot, dry growing season in Alberta and Saskatchewan has resulted in forages maturing two to three weeks earlier than normal, which can leave plants with higher fibre content but lower protein and energy. Insufficient protein levels will reduce fibre digestion. This causes a cow to look full and yet be underfed, causing it to lose condition. Feed testing can

prevent not only over feeding, but more importantly, under feeding a herd. Murray Feist, ruminant nutrition specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, stresses the importance of feed testing every year. “If you don’t know what you’re dealing with, how do you plan ahead?” Farmers submitting forage samples for testing need to collect what’s representative of their supply, and a hay probe is the ideal tool, collecting both stems and leaves. The forage sample submitted should be described in specific detail. “Any time you can take any of the guesswork out, you get more and more accuracy,” says Feist. Farmers can plug their feed test numbers into a program called CowBytes, a ration balancing program available from Alberta Agriculture. Problems that weeds and plants can cause are listed at the Canadian Poisonous Plants Information System database.

Investing in hay and pastures pays off farm credity canada SEPTEMBER 25, 2015

By Richard Kamchen Improved returns for hay and feed create prime opportunities for rejuvenating hay and pasture fields, says an Alberta Agriculture specialist. Hay yields were reduced this year not only by hot, dry weather but by a greater number of older stands, which hadn’t been replaced due to funding shortfalls, says Alberta Agriculture livestock and forage business specialist Grant Lastiwka. He says returning some of the profits from this year’s high hay and feed prices by way of a fall fertilizer program would aid longevity, early spring productivity

and water use efficiency. “We know that if we put some phosphorous with nitrogen, it really does encourage the broader grasses to grow and it improves water use efficiency,” Lastiwka says. He notes that a nitrogen/phosphorous blend application at moderate rates can produce a 120 per cent increase in water use efficiency, which will be evidenced by increased yield. In considering a ratio of fertility, Lastiwka points out that for every ton of grass hay, around 30 pounds of nitrogen, 10 pounds of phosphorous, 40 pounds of potassium, and four pounds of sulphur are taken out. And a ton of legume hay takes off 15 pounds of phosphorous, 60

pounds of potassium and seven pounds of sulphur. Growing export markets for hay are contributing to an upward trend in profitability potential and provide added incentive to get an early and favourable start for next spring. Before winter, farmers should also leave four to six inches of stubble, as well as strips in fields. “The growth we get early in the spring is extremely dependent on the health of the plants going into winter,” Lastiwka says. “If we’re looking for strong growth early in the spring, we need to manage for plant nutrient stores and snow catch where it is possible.” Just as in the case of hay fields, farm-

ers should consider fertility for grasses in pasture. Pastures are a lot cheaper than feeding, and every day extra grazed represents about half the cost of a feeding system, he says. Also avoid re-grazing pastures that aren’t ready for it. Lastiwka says if plants are not past the three-and-a-half leaf stage in fall, they should be left to become “productive early spring growth pastures that grow early, that grow dense and have the potential to have a higher yield over the whole season.” “The cumulative effect of a vigorous plant in the fall becoming vigorous plants in the spring and summer,” he says.

Know your crop quality agri-news october 5, 2015

The first step to marketing a crop is knowing its quality. And, in many parts of the province, this is more important this year than ever. “Due to late rains that have spotted the northern portion of the province grain quality may be different than first expected”, says Todd Bergen-Henengouwen, market analyst, ag inputs, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Edmonton. “The first step is knowing what quality you have in the bin. Then you can move forward and start exploring potential markets for your grain.” Obtaining a representative sample of your product is an essential part of marketing. The goal is to have a sample that has the same characteristics as the large volume of product that it represents. Taking samples as the grain is placed into storage is a practical way

to obtain a representative sample for each bin. Taking a consistent number of samples from each load will help give the best representation of grain in the bin. Once the bin is full, collected samples should be mixed together and sealed in bags or containers that can be distributed to different graders. The container should keep out rodents and insects and preserve representative moisture content to maintain sample integrity. Bergen-Henengouwen says there are several options for determining grain quality. “You can have your grain graded by your local grain company or from a neutral grain grading source such as the Canadian Grain Commissions harvest sample program,” says Bergen-Henengouwen. “This is a voluntary program that the Canadian Grain Commission provides for free.” The harvest sample program will provide those who submit samples with an unofficial grade and quality

result that includes: protein content on cereal grains and pulses oil, protein content and iodine value for flaxseed oil, protein and chlorophyll content for canola oil and protein for mustard seed and soybeans “Samples will be accepted up until November but it is encouraged to send the samples in as soon as harvest is complete,” says Bergen-Henengouwen. Once you have gathered the grade information, you can then work on determining the best outlet for that crop from a grade point of view. For more information about the harvest sample program and to submit a sample, search “Harvest Sample Program” or contact the Canadian Grain Commission at 1-800-853-6705.

As with the other engines in the no-DPF generator drive lineup, this new 13.5L engine employs a John Deere Integrated Emissions Control system with cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. “Since the introduction of our constant speed generator drive engines without DPFs earlier this year, we have been working to implement this solution in our generator drive engine lineup,” said Darrin Treptow, manager, worldwide marketing for John Deere Power Systems. “With this addition we are able to offer our customers both the power ratings and performance they need for their power-gen applications.” The new PowerTech PSL 13.5L generator drive engine is rated at 473 kWm and, in addition to generator sets, can be used to provide power to select constant speed applications. With low idle speeds, dual frequency ratings and easy paralleling, the engine will help

customers better serve the prime power market. “Our engines are designed to perform reliably in a variety of operating conditions, making them ideal for prime power solutions,” Treptow said. The new PowerTech PSL 13.5L generator drive engine model joins the existing lineup whose models and power ratings includes: • PowerTech PWL 4.5L: 69 kWm, 80 kWm and 99 kWm • PowerTech PSL 4.5L: 128 kWm • PowerTech PVL 6.8L: 160 kWm and 192 kWm • PowerTech PSL 6.8L: 216 kWm and 240 kWm • PowerTech PSL 9.0L: 273 kWm, 326 kWm and 345 kWm John Deere plans to begin production of the PowerTech PVL and PSL 6.8L generator drive engine in late 2015 while the PowerTech PSL 4.5L, 9.0L and 13.5L generator drive engines will enter production in early 2016. “Our experience working with generator set manufacturers has helped us better understand the features and services necessary to meet today’s challenges. We think our PowerTech engines meet those challenges by offering our OEM customers compact generator set packaging, easy operation and reliable performance,” Treptow said. John Deere offers an extensive lineup of standby and prime generator set engines that meet emissions regulations while delivering quick-starting, cleanrunning and fuel efficient performance. The full lineup of John Deere generator drive engines ranges in displacement from 2.9L to 13.5L and covers generator drive ratings from 31 to 563 kWm (42 to 755 hp). These engines include non-emissions certified, EU Stage II and Stage III A, EPA Tier 3, Interim Tier 4 and Final Tier 4 models. PowerTech™ PSL 13.5L generator drive engine

THE BIG BEND Blueberry Creek Kushneryk (Hrisook) Family

By Mary Kushneryk My dad John Hrisook immigrated to Canada in 1913 from White Russia to the small mining town of Coleman, Alberta in the Crows Nest Pass, where he worked in a coal mine for many years. In 1922 my mother, a young girl of eighteen from Czechoslovakia, also came to Coleman and met dad. In August 1923 they were married there, and Dad continued working in the mine. Things were pretty good then. In 1924 their first child was born, my brother Bill, who is still farming in this community. I was born three years later in March 1927, and our family continued living there. Dad and Mom managed to keep a cow, and a bull, some chickens and at last got some horses. By the spring of 1930 things were not looking so good. The depression was around the comer, coal mines were closing down, and no jobs in sight. My dad heard of the Peace River Country and decided to come out here. Dad, Alex Cot, and John Loshko packed their bags and left for Spirit River, to file on homesteads. When they got to Spirit River there was no road across the creeks to Blueberry Creek, except through Blueberry Mountain, which was a distance of 40 miles. This was too far for them to walk, so they took a short cut across the creeks marking trees with their axes. They each picked a quarter of land that they later filed on. It cost only $5 to file on a quarter section of land. They built a small shack of logs, then they went back to Coleman. At the end of April 1930 they loaded a box car with their belongings, also the horses, cow, bull, and chickens, and headed for the Peace River Country. My mother, my brother and I came at that time and I was only three years old. John Loshko, Alex Cot, also Tom and Annie Nikiforuk who had filed on homesteads here, came with us. When we got to Spirit River the men unloaded everything into a wagon, hitched the horses up, and started out through what they called “Cache One” to Blueberry Mountain. The trip took four days as the roads were very bad. Water was all over the place. Our first stop was at “Cache One” near where the old railroad bridge stood on the route from Spirit River to Pouce Coupe. The next night we all stayed overnight near Blueberry, and the third at Bateman’s, where Bill Lindsay once lived, and at last Earl Hoover. The trip was very hard, and the horses were extremely tired as the load was heavy. Stops were very necessary to feed horses and rest up. Most of the men walked behind the wagon to make it easier for the horses . I remember Annie Nikiforuk telling me she walked behind the wagon most of the way. My mother walked some and rode some, as she had to stay With my brother and me in the wagon as we were too young to walk. When we finally arrived at the homesteads the hard life began. The men cleared land with an axe and broke it with a breaking plow and eight horses. For heat we used an airtight heater, a cast iron wood stove, and for lights a coal oil lamp. By next spring Mother managed to plant a garden, and that helped. There were always plenty of wild fruits, saskatoons, raspberries, dewberries, and wild gooseberries. From rose hips my mother made vinegar, and she also made jam from carrots. Dad dug a well by hand, and mother used to lower the milk in a cream can down the well with a rope during summer. It kept cold there, and from the cream she made butter. Later on they built a bigger house, and mother plastered it with mud and straw, then later whitewashed it inside. Our chicken coop was made of logs and plastered with mud or a mixture of horse manure and mud. There were no schools close. The closest one was Blueberry Mtn., and that was too far for us to go. About 1934 the first Blueberry Creek School was built and

we started going, a distance of 3 1/2 miles. Our first teacher was Mr. Knight. Very few of the children could read or write, and only a few children could speak English. This made it very hard for our teacher. The majority of the children were of Ukrainian descent and couldn’t speak a word of English. As time went on the children gradually learned their a,b,c’s and soon started reading and writing. I’ll never forget the first song we learned at school. This is the way it went: “Good Morning to you Good Morning to you Whatever the weather, We’ll all be together. For this is the way We start a new day.” The school was one room, built of hewn logs, with moss filling the cracks. We had a long heater in which we burned long pieces of cord wood. The older boys and girls had to help bring in the wood and keep the fire going. In winter, snow was melted in pails on the heater. There were outdoor toilets then. I remember the first year at school. Just before Christmas the Salvation Army brought a big box of clothing to school, and Mr. Knight distributed the mitts, socks, scarves, sweaters, jackets, pants, toques, etc. among the children. We were all so happy to get something, as our parents could not afford to buy too much. Acre by acre the parents managed to clear some land and seed grain: With that little bit of grain they could buy very little, as wheat was worth about 25 cents a bushel. This grain had to be hauled to town with a team of horses, a distance of 35 miles, so the trip took two days. During the winter months the horses had to be shod (horseshoes had to be put on so they wouldn’t slip on ice). The first Post Office was at Blueberry Mtn., so we had nine miles to go to get our mail. The Post Office was operated by Mr. Milldrum. The first store was also at Blueberry Mtn., owned by Nick Baduik, later by McCormicks, then McCluskeys, then Jack Bird. We always drove by team to Blueberry to buy groceries, a distance of 9 1/2miles. In 1935 John and Dora Waknuk opened a Post Office at Ksituan, only 4 1/2 miles from our place, so we got our mail there. His trips were made with horses and a buggy in spring and summer, and with a sleigh and caboose in the winter. It was a long route as he hauled the Ksituan, Blueberry Mtn., Whitburn, and Gordondale mail. Another mailman would meet him at Whitburn and take the mail from Whitburn to Gordondale. All this mail was picked up at Spirit River, and this was always a two day trip. Usually, late Friday or Saturday we would go and get our mail at Waknuk’s. Lots of times we picked up the mail for neighbors, the Symchuks, Nikiforuks, Wawrenuiks. Next time they would go and would bring ours. People ordered a lot from Simpsons and Eatons, so there was always something to carry on your back in ·a sack, especially in the spring when the roads were under water. Dora and John Waknuk operated the Post Office from 1935 to 1964, twenty-nine years in all. The first radio in our area was bought by K. Pronyshyn. There was a lot of excitement, and most ·of the neighbors gathered there and listened. My parents brought with them from Coleman a gramophone with a lot of records, so neighbors would gather and play records for entertainment. Annie Nikiforuk brought a mandolin from Coleman which she played very well. On Saturday nights she would play her instrument at her little house, and the few neighbors would gather to dance, sing and have a real nice time. After going to Blueberry Creek School for two years over muddy roads, sloughs, through thick bush and heavy snow in winter, a distance of 3 miles walking, Yellow Creek School was opened and we went there. Our teacher now was Edward Rockarts. This time we only had 2 1/2 miles to walk. At first our teacher boarded at Victor Almonds, then later at our place. He paid $20 a month for board and room. His wages were around $60 a month, and at the end of the month the local school had no money to pay him so there was always a waiting period. For games at school we played “Hide and Seek”, London Bridge, Bear and Deer, and also had a lot of Spelling Matches, which really helped us with our school work. Every evening for about two hours our teacher would correct children’s papers and prepare work for next day. Of course in winter this was done by the light of a coal oil lamp. As more and more people kept coming in to the district we had more children at school. In 1937 we got the Bill Kushneryk family. One boy Peter, (my husband now) and his four

He worked all through Saskatchewan and Montana during the depression, (lots of times just for room and board). In 1922 he met Peter’s mom Jean and they were married in Cudworth, Saskatchewan. Peter, my husband now, was born in Cudworth in March 1923, and when just an infant they moved to Greenway, just northeast of Rycroft where they started farming. As years went by, all his sisters were born in Rycroft, and attended school at Greenway. In 1937 they moved across the creeks to Yellow Creek. They lived only a mile from our place so we walked to school together. Edward Rockarts our teacher, now had about 48 kids to teach. He taught at Yellow Creek for about seven years and we had some wonderful Christmas Concerts. We got our parts to study about the middle of November, and everyone worked hard. We devoted our recess and noon hour to practising our plays and singing carols. About a week before our concert the older boys and girls built a stage out of boards, planks and blocks. The girls brought sheets and pins for curtains. Our costumes were all hand made. We used charcoal to color our faces when we had a negro play, and we had lots of those. On concert evening our school would be packed with people. Extra benches were made from planks and blocks, and the desks were all used. When the concert was over Santa would give out candy bags and all kids exchanged gifts in the range of 25 to 50 cents, and they were really nice. After all this, there would be a dance with free music supplied by the local homesteaders.

Hauling pulpwood. The ladies brought lunch - cakes and sandwiches, and they were served free. Coffee was made in cream cans on top of the heater, by some ladies of the community. In 1939 the war broke out, and young men were drafted into service. Edward Rockarts left to teach elsewhere and we got young Normalities to teach (they were young boys and girls out of Normal School who were going into the teaching profession). They were wonderful too. In about 1940 quite a few young boys were drafted into the service, and there would be farewell dances for them. In those days, admission was 25 cents for gents, and ladies brought lunch. Music was supplied by Continued on 43

The Northern Horizon, October 9, 2015

On the open road 8th annual Run to the Hills Rally Two Hills, Alberta is a small north-eastern community of around 1,500 people. There is a motel, gas station, grocery store, pharmacy and a number of restaurants and convenience stores. They have a hospital, an active fire department, an RCMP detachment and pretty much any other amenity you could ask for. Two of those amenities are Geleta Park and the Ag Society fair grounds, the home of the Run to the Hills Memorial Rally. Campers started showing up 6 days early for the rally as they wanted to stake their claim to the campsite they wanted, nestled in among the trees! When I arrived on Thursday night before the rally, I was amazed to see over 100 people already there, all anticipating the fun and memories they would be making. Friday was brutal, high winds and rain, but true to form the die hards just kept rolling in and over 200 people bellied up to the table for an incredible pig roast. Porky’s BBQ from Ashmont Alberta cooked those pigs to absolute perfection! The beer gardens was filled with people enjoying the music from Black Crimson and The Marshall Lawrence Band and the beverages being served by a group of local ladies with wonderful senses of humour. There was an unusual scavenger hunt that took place as well and those who took part had to do some crazy things like kissing Bob Ross’s arse! It was all a part of the stag and stagette for a couple who had met at the rally the year before. Laughter and smiles filled the arena. Saturday morning dawned with beautiful sunshine and the riders just kept coming in. The show ‘n’ shine was a marvel with lots of motorcycles and antique vehicles for people to ogle, but one motorcycle and rider stole the hearts and minds of every rider there. 10-yearold Scott Mackenzie and his Honda 50! This little man was the first one entered in the show ‘n’ shine and the pride he exhibited in that handed down motorcycle was palpable. He spent about 20 minutes cleaning and shining it up and then he talked to other riders about their motorcycles. Not one rider present wasn’t impressed with this young man as he rode his motorcycle out of the show ‘n’ shine taking away three trophies! After the Show ‘n’ Shine, Pastor Wes took the pulpit and said a prayer over the riders and their machines that were going to be participating in the poker run. He also delivered the roll call of 17 names of riders who had fallen in the last year be it to motorcycle crashes or medical issues. Out of those 17

names, 4 of them were friends of mine. Pastor Wes soberly reminded the riders as to why we were gathered for this rally, to build a monument to all riders who have lost their lives. So many riders have their ashes scattered to the wind and there is no marker of their lives other than the memories we carry in our hearts. The monument and fallen riders is why this rally is held and he wanted to ensure that fact was not lost in amongst the good times and laughs. The poker run takes people throughout the county of Two Hills and the small businesses that support the poker run were appreciative of the 75 or so riders who participated. When everyone returned to the grounds, the bike rodeo started and the fun began in earnest with riders and their passengers showing off their skills in competitions like the slow race, the keg push, honey I’m home, the pantyhose race and the burn out pit. The stands were filled with spectators and the howls of laughter and cheers of support were loud and raucous. After the rodeo, Casey Werney and Laurie Ellison became man and wife in the first wedding to ever be held at the rally. What a hoot that was! Casey was delivered to the ceremony site via a hearse supplied by the Forsaken Souls RC and yes; he was in a coffin! Laurie was delivered to the ceremony site on the back of Shawn Hamel’s motorcycle. During the exchanging of rings, everyone noted the little balls and chains that were attached to the rings and that brought a lot of giggles from the crowd. The maid of honour, Josee Milroy had cooked up a fabulous turkey dinner that cost $10 a plate with the proceeds being donated to the memorial. When I found out how much money was still needed to be raised to get the memorial built, I offered to have my head shaved if we could raise the $10K needed to make a serious dent in the construction of the memorial and getting the park ready for visitors. I had told everyone the minimum I would shave my head for was $2,000. We were all slated to be on stage for 11 pm. At 7 pm, after that big turkey dinner, I went and laid down in the camper I was staying in, supplied by Robbie and Ian of the Dark Horse Café in Dewberry. I had had too much sun and was sick to my stomach. No one came and got me and so I missed seeing Ted from the Protection for the Unprotected get his head shaved for kids with cancer. I had only raised just shy of $1,200 because of having to lie down. When I woke up to a quiet campground around 1 in the morning, I grabbed the bag of cash and beetled down to the arena with a pounding headache. The band on stage when I got there was that Wayne Allchin band, sadly I missed the Tom Hammered band. I donated the cash I raised to the memorial but did not shave my head. I took some flack for that but at the end of the day, I had set a goal and did not meet it. I will be hosting an online fundraiser where I will shave my head and donate my hair once again to Locks of Love. The last time I shaved my head, 5 years ago at the Grande Prairie Toy Run I raised over $2,000 and donated enough hair to make three wigs for little girls. I intend to donate it again – but, the goal truly is to help see this memorial and the gardens get built and so after Bob Ross figures out how much more he needs to get the job done; that will be the goal I set. I personally have over 25 names I

want to see on the memorial, friends who are no longer with us. I want a place where I can go and reflect on their lives, the memories and the meaning their loves brought to mine. I am determined to help Bob reach his goal. It will be filmed for airing on YouTube so that people will be able to see that the hair really did go! Sunday was a day of mixed emotions. Unlike previous years where people packed up and were gone from the campsite by 10 am, this year many campers stayed until well into the afternoon, no one wanted to have to say goodbye. I stayed on in Two Hills as Bob and I had meeting with Community Futures and a few other stakeholders in the region that also want to do what they can to see the memorial become a reality. You see the first 5 years of the rally, Bob lost money; money he had to put in from his own pocket to ensure all of the bills got paid. It took 4 years to negotiate the lease for the Wayside Park on the edge of town. It’s been a long road. In the last two years, new roofs were put on the outhouses and the old cook shack that is being converted into a chapel and the buildings have gotten a coat of paint. Bob has amassed a ton of sidewalk paving bricks, the concrete culvert that will serve as the base of the monument, the arch for the gate and a number of other items that will be used like folding chairs and tables, but there is a ton of work to do to the grounds. Bob wants the landscaping done, flowers and trees planted, a deck on the chapel where people will be able to host BBQ’s and meals to support memorial services and then of course there is all of the brickwork for walk ways and the paving of the driveway to be done. The last big ticket item is the metal 伀瘀攀爀 sculpture for the top of the monument ␀ 㘀 Ⰰ 䴀愀爀欀 that needs to be done and the bronze 攀 plaque to commemorate the park. 戀礀㄀㈀琀椀渀最琀漀戀攀椀渀挀漀洀眀漀渀 I was so proud of the people who at洀甀渀椀甀渀搀攀 tended the rally – they left their camp琀椀爀 sites immaculate and the only clean up 椀渀瀀漀㄀㈀㔀Ⰰ 攀猀 that needed to be done was picking up 瀀甀氀愀琀椀漀渀℀ garbage that the high winds from Friday had scattered along the fences and to have all of the equipment put away and the concessions scrubbed down.

local fellows for a few dollars each. The musicians were usually the Solomiany’s and the Juzwishin’s. The Yanishewski Orchestra came in later years. It was in the forties the American Army came to Dawson Creek, then there was the Dawson Creek explosion. Many young girls from our area went to work in Dawson Creek as it was booming then. Many married Americans and left for the States. One of my girl friends started working in a cafe for $25 a month, which was considered a good wage then. In the early forties there were a few cars and trucks around. Bill and Sophie Melenchuk bought a truck, and my husband’s dad Bill Kushneryk also got a truck. People would hire them to haul grain or cattle to town. Of course the short cut across the creeks to Spirit River was made, and that made the trip much shorter. About the end of 1942 Peter and I started getting interested in each other more and more, although we had known each other since they moved here from Rycroft. We were friends and neighbors, played together many many times, and went to school together for a few years. On June 22nd 1945 Pete and I were married in Westminster United Church, Spirit River by Rev. George Spady, whom I hear still resides in Edmonton. We lived for a few years with my parents and farmed one quarter of land.

Pete, Mary and family Betty, Ken and Ron. During winter Peter drove a truck for Sanduls Transfer for extra money, and in the summer he farmed with an Allis Chalmers cat. In spare time he worked for Public Works, now Department of Highways, with his Cat. His wage was $3.25 per hour, which was considered good in those days. My brother and Pete bought a threshing machine together and a binder was pulled by a Ford tractor by this time, which made it much easier than horses. On Oct. 14th, 194 7 our first child was born, a girl we named Elizabeth (Betty for short). We still lived with my parents, and Pete would work out every winter. One winter Pete and my brother cut pulpwood and hauled it into Spirit River from Blueberry, as they each had a truck. Things were getting more modern. Pretty soon the horses at the threshing machine were replaced by a stook sweep mounted in front of a Ford tractor. One man could do the job of hauling the bundles to the machine instead of using horses, hay racks, and men.

Continued from 41

Usually we managed by ourselves, as by now my brother was married. His wife and I, my brother, Peter and my dad, did the harvesting while my mother cooked the meals and looked after our little daughter. In 1951 Peter bought another quarter of land from Harry Andruchiw, and the following spring we moved there. A year later Pete and my brother traded the threshing machine for a Cockshutt Combine. Mike Skoworodko was a Cockshutt dealer in Spirit River then. More and more combines were seen on the fields each year and threshing machines were very rare. The fall of 1953 our daughter, then 6 years old, started school at Blueberry Creek. We lived 3 miles from school. It was a long walk for a little girl, but she always had the George Dolhan kids for company. There were Tom, David, Dan and Louise. When it got real cold, George would take the children to school with a sleigh and a team of horses. They had to bundle up well, and even wrap themselves in quilts. On February 3, 1954 our second child was born. We named him Ken. In those days we had a district nurse stationed at Blueberry Mtn., and we either took our children there or the nurse came out to the home when someone was sick. Those nurses went through some real rough times too. I recall the first nurse coming out to Yellow Creek School about 1936. Her J. Hrisooks with Bill and Mary Kushneryk. name was Miss Sage. Bob Hewitt brought her in a sleigh and caboose, with a team of horses with bells on the harness. Some they bought a home and they have been there for three years now. of the nurses I can remember were Miss Routledge, Mrs. Gunn Del is still with the R.C.M.P. as Corporal. Betty is working (now Mrs. Bird), and Miss Ferrier. They were wonderful, and part time in a drug store and their son Dwayne, our only granddevoted a lot of their time to the people of this community, going child, is in grade six at school. from school to school regardless of the weather.

As years passed, all our children went to Blueberry Creek School and later to Spirit River.

8th annual Run to the Hills Rally

Did you realize that he has NO help to do the cleaning and putting away of equipment? Neither did I, so I am glad I was able to stay and help him over two days to get everything whipped back into shape. This rally has become one of the best rallies in Alberta with close to 400 people attending a far cry from its humble start 8 years ago when 40 people came out. It’s well run with events taking place on a reasonably tight schedule that ensures no one is bored! It’s a true riders event, one that is pure in its intent and purpose: To see riders have a place of reflection!

The Northern Horizon, October 9, 2015

The Run to the Hills Memorial Rally is a MUST attend event that gives back to the riding community, a community that is too often wrapped up in helping everyone else but themselves. Plans are already well underway for the 9th Annual event and it is my hopes that the numbers swell to 800 or a thousand so that the memorial can become a reality and the riding community can celebrate the lives of those we have loved and lost.
