CCGA begins issuing 2015-16 cash advances under an improved Advance Payments Program Winnipeg, Manitoba – April 1, 2015 The Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) ofﬁcially begins issuing cash advances today for the 2015-16 Advance Payments Program (APP). This year, there are changes to the program that will make it more convenient and ﬂexible for farmers.

On Monday, the Honourable Gerry Ritz, Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood announced major enhancements to the APP in Saskatoon, highlighting how Canada’s producers will remain competitive with world markets thanks to reduced red tape, ease of access, and ﬂexible repayment options.

“These changes provide greater access to operating cash flow for our farms,” says Brett Halstead, President of CCGA. “At the same time, they make accessing that cash flow less cumbersome, and that’s very important for today’s agriculture operations.” Under the improved APP, farmers will have access to cash advances on more commodities in one place – an important convenience for farmers. CCGA’s commodity lineup has expanded significantly, and now includes all major field crops and livestock, including oilseeds, cereal grains, coarse grains such corn, pulse and specialty crops, cattle, hogs, and more. All 45 commodities are on one application, with one low administration fee. Other important changes that farmers will experience immediately include the removal of withhold and added flexibility for repaying grain advances. Farmers who apply for an advance through CCGA are eligible for a cash advance of up to $100,000 interestfree and an additional, interest-bearing $300,000 at CIBC prime.

“With over 2,000 pre-applications received in March, we’ve already seen great uptake on the program changes,” says Rick White, CEO of CCGA. “We’re excited to begin issuing funds today as the growing season will soon be in full swing.” Farmers wanting to apply for a cash advance are encouraged to call CCGA’s Winnipeg ofﬁce at 1-866-745-2256. Applications can also be downloaded or completed online at CCGA’s website, www.ccga.ca. Application forms will soon be available at elevators across Western Canada.

(“Viterra”), Canada’s grain industry leader, is pleased to announce it is launching an improved version of its ‘myViterra’ mobile application for its North American farm customers in April. The new version will be an easier to use tool that will provide enhanced grain pricing information for all of Viterra’s grain handling facilities, and will begin to introduce further functionality that is currently only available on the ‘myViterra’ desktop site. Adding to its flexibility, the new myViterra mobile friendly site will be available for use on all devices.

Quebec must open to canola-blended products as ruling upheld Canadian Canola Growers Association Winnipeg, Manitoba – March 2, 2015 An Appeal Panel under the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) have upheld a decision made last year that opens the Quebec market to canolabased dairy alternatives and creates new opportunities for processing and marketing Canadian-grown canola. The initial challenge was made by the Government of Saskatchewan in 2014 regarding Quebec’s Food Products Act. Saskatchewan challenged that the Act restricted the production, sale, and marketing of vegetable oil-based dairy alternatives in the province and contravened the country’s internal trade rules. In March 2014, AIT ruled in favour of the Saskatchewan challenge, which was supported by the Governments of Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia. Quebec appealed the panel’s decision, and hearings were held in Regina on October 27, 2014. It was announced on February 25, 2015 that the initial ruling would be upheld.

5 201

Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) has been a ﬁrm supporter of this challenge. “We thank the Government of Saskatchewan for initiating this dispute and are pleased to see the ruling upheld,” says Rick White, CEO of CCGA. “Canola and other oilseed-based dairy alternatives have faced signiﬁcant barriers to entering the Quebec market. Canola farmers believe eliminating these trade barriers, whether domestic or abroad, are key to our farms’ success.” CCGA also acknowledges the leadership provided by the Vegetable Oil Industry Association (VOIC) in identifying this internal trade barrier and providing a strong rationale for presenting the case to the AIT. “VOIC has been a strong advocate for the entire Canadian vegetable oil industry, including the farmers who grow canola seeds that are crushed into Canada’s healthiest cooking oil,” says White. A ruling on similar restrictions in Ontario was also upheld by AIT in 2011.

horse. Not every horse on a pasture will be affected as some will selectively eat alsike clover over other forages. Alsike clover contains a pyrrolizidine alkaloid that causes liver damage. Alsike can have a white, pink or red flower. It can be differentiated from red or white clover as alsike clover leaves do not usually have a white water mark and the flower stem originates from the main stem off the main stalk as separate leaflet stems. Unfortunately most of the clover you see in the peace area is alsike clover. The most common symptoms that people see and are aware of are the sunburn or “photosensitization”. Often people think their horses have “scratches” as they get scabs and sores on the backs of their heels. The scabs are actually a result of sunburn and usually are seen on white feet. Sometimes white faces and noses will scab and peel and in severe cases, we have seen white patches on paints bodies burn and peel. Unfortunately this is just the surface and what is going on inside your horse as a result of the clover poisoning is much worse. Liver damage causes the symptoms that we see. Not every horse will show photosensitisation, and not every horse has white skin. Another sign of clover poisoning is weight loss for no obvious reason. When the liver is damaged it cannot convert the digested products into the sugars that the body needs to survive. Sometimes we’ll also see horses that act a little bit colicy (like they have a stomach ache). If the liver damage is severe the horse can develop encephalitis or brain swelling. These horses may show altered behaviour (sleepiness, aggression), are weak, and sometimes can have seizures. Diagnosis is based on the symptoms, a history of clover in the diet, and blood work that demonstrates liver damage. Mucus membranes (gums) and the sclera (white area on the eyes) are often yellowish tinged. Unfortunately there is no magic treatment for liver damage so we do our best to make it easier for the liver to function. The liver is unique in that it has an amazing ability to regenerate itself, however if the liver is very severely damaged it may not be able compensate. In severe cases horses can die. If you suspect your horse is suffering from clover poisoning, contact your veterinarian. An important

ﬁrst step in treatment is to remove the source of the alsike clover. Take them off pasture or remove contaminated hay source. Feed grass hay, no clover or alfalfa as they are high in protein and create unnecessary work for the damaged liver. Get your horse out of the sunlight to minimize the damage to his skin. There are medicated creams available to help the skin heal and to treat any infections that might set into the damaged skin. At the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic we can provide some recipes and ideas for homemade diets to feed to horses with liver disease. Pasture management is very important and often involves spraying to kill broad leaf plants. Some products have residual effects and can work for a few years. Consult with your agro chemical specialist about which product would work you. There is a common misconception that clover is ﬁne once it is dry and in hay but it can still have toxic effects in this state. When buying hay inquire about clover and look through the bales. If caught early the prognosis for most horses is great. More severe cases require a lot of TLC, supportive care and time to see if they will recover. Unfortunately alsike clover is growing all over the Peace Country. Please check your pasture and hay and watch for any signs of alsike clover poisoning in your horses. If you have any further questions about alsike clover poisoning or any other animal disease please drop by the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic and talk with one of our professional staff. www.dcvet.ca

Railways’ mandatory minimum grain handles ending Staff, AGCanada / Commodity News Service Canada March 28, 2015, Canada’s big two railways can resume moving grain at their own pace as the federal government’s order in council setting mandatory minimum grain traffic quotas is set to expire unrenewed. Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Transport Minister Lisa Raitt announced the federal government won’t renew the mandatory minimums, which are due to expire Saturday. The order in council, which was launched last March, extended in May, renewed in August and extended in November, “has done its job and can be reinstated if required,” Ritz said in a release Saturday. The government, he added, will “continue to monitor performance and encourages the full supply chain to be more collaborative in the long run.” Since the mandatory minimum weekly requirements were introduced in March last year, the government said, “Canada’s overall grain exports have improved and (Western Canada’s) projected carry-out going into this new crop year is within the average range historically,” at 10 million tonnes. Specifically, the government said, grain shipments out of Western Canada through ports are 31 per cent higher than last year, and 25 per cent higher than the five-year average. Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Railway (CP), during the periods covered by the order in council, moved over 50 million tonnes of grain, exceeding the total mandatory minimums by 5.5 million tonnes, the government added. The government’s order, Raitt said, “had its intended effect and that the movement of grain by rail is once again running at a rate that contributes to strong economic growth.” Mandatory minimums will remain an option” if the grain supply chain compromises farmers’ livelihoods, the economy or Canada’s international reputation as a reliable shipper,” the government added. CP and CN, meanwhile, were urged “to continue to address shipper-specific issues so shippers across Canada can grow and build their businesses.” The Ag Transport Coalition, with federal backing, continues to report by corridor on weekly rail car supply “to help individual shippers make business decisions,” the government said. With input from grain industry stakeholders through the Crop Logistics Working Group and Ag Transport Coalition, the government said Saturday it will review its Grain Monitor program before the new crop year, “to determine how more effective data can be collected to find efficiencies in the supply chain.” Before the end of the year, the government added, its Canada Transportation Act review will bring out recommendations to “help inform long-term supply chain improvements.” More grain monitoring statistics are now publicly available, the government noted Saturday. A summary of the grain volume shipped by rail from August 2014 to January 2015 is now available on the Grain Monitor’s website, where new weekly and monthly reports will also be posted. “Missed opportunity” The Ag Transport Coalition’s weekly reports, which include data covering 90 per cent of grain movement originating in the West, continue to paint a less than rosy picture of grain car deliveries and shipments. In its latest report, released Wednesday and cover-

ing shipping week 30, the coalition said CN and CP supplied 2,302 of the 6,228 hopper cars ordered for delivery that week, plus 4,202 cars filling orders from previous weeks. In week 30, traffic destined to West Coast bulk terminals got a higher percentage of cars (41 per cent) than traffic destined to other corridors such as Canadian domestic buyers, Vancouver transload sites and delivery points in the U.S. and Mexico, which combined got 26 per cent of cars ordered for delivery. “Each order not filled in the week it is requested can represent a lost or deferred sale for the shipper, and missed opportunity for a farmer to deliver their grain, which is particularly relevant as spring weight restrictions come into effect,” the coalition warned in Wednesday’s release. Grain sales deferred or lost due to weekly unfulfilled rail car demand can result in extra costs to the supply chain, the coalition said. Among those costs, it said, are “higher inventory carrying costs, payment of contract penalties by shippers, payment of container detention fees, payment of demurrage for waiting vessels, risk premiums charged by downstream supply chain partners and ultimately, loss of future sales to customers.” In the crop year to date, the coalition said, the accumulation of each week’s unfulfilled demand for hopper cars has reached nearly 24,000 cars — representing the total volume of missed and deferred shipper orders. Net unfulfilled demand now sits at 9,539 orders, the coalition added.

Bearing the weight of marketing risks ahead is a lonely road,

Around the Watertrough With Ryan Copithorne President, Cows In Control Marketing Group The oil market and its impact on cattle ranching Oil prices in 2014 were literally crushed from over $100/barrel to under $50/barrel and dropping. So what does this mean to cattle producers? I have a few thoughts:

Canadian $: As goes oil, so does the Canadian dollar. The CDN$ is dropping with oil which is good for cattle prices as 77.5% of our exports are to the U.S. A cheaper CDN$ means the US can afford to pay more for our cattle. Labour: finally labour costs may cool off in Western Canada as demand for oil patch labour will stop. We may see more young people looking to agriculture as a career.

Land/Real Estate: slowing activity in the oil sector is going to be hard on real estate prices in the main oil regions, especially Calgary, Edmonton, Lloydminster, Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie. A lot of land priced at speculative levels will return to agricultural values as excess recreational spending will drop.

Government: Watch out for big brother government becoming more interested in agriculture. This is good and bad. The government will look to agriculture as its cash cow now meaning more programs and support available, but be fearful of the impact of subsidies in agriculture! No such thing as free money. Also watch for the government trying to protect agriculture lands, mind your property rights!!! Did You Know? Cows are red/green colour blind.

When feeding cereal silage, greenfeed or swath grazing to pregnant cows, there can be a concern with a lack of calcium and magnesium. An added product can often be the solution. “In this situation, an added product should have more calcium than phosphorus,” says Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist, Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “Most block and tub products along with some minerals have equal amounts of calcium and phosphorus or generally 2:1 calcium to phosphorus ratio. In many situations, the calcium to phosphorus ration in a mineral product may need to be 8:1 or higher (similar to a feedlot type mineral) to bring calcium and phosphorus levels into line. “Tub or block products have lower calcium and phosphorus levels compared to a dry mineral. It’s difficult to have minerals stay in suspension during the manufacturing process.” To successfully register a feed product the Canadian Food Inspection Agency requires that the nutrient content in the first block must be the same as what is found in the last block in a batch. Calcium and phosphorus are difficult to keep in solution during the mixing and manufacturing phase; thus,

the lower concentration in the final product. “It’s generally more efficient and more economical to feed a dry mineral to provide calcium or phosphorus in a ration rather than using a tub or block,” says Yaremcio. In a swath grazing situation where the feed contains 0.32% calcium and 0.2% phosphorus and the calcium content in the tub or block is 4.7% calcium and 1.75% phosphorus, it would require 3.9 pounds of the block product to achieve 2:1 calcium to phosphorus ratio in the final feeding program. Cost would be $0.63 per head per day (at 17.5 cents a pound). “There would be other nutritional problems if this feeding program was followed,” says Yaremcio. “Some nutrients would be excessive and it could cause a reduction in performance. A second option would to be to feed 0.067 pounds (30 grams) of limestone (38 % calcium) to achieve the 2:1 ratio. The cost would be one to two cents per head per day. If a feedlot type mineral with 24% calcium and 8% phosphorus is used and fed at 0.25 pounds a day, the cost would be roughly 8 cents per head per day. The key is to minimize expense but provide a proper ration.” Contact: Barry Yaremcio 310-FARM(3276)

With BSE derailing the Canadian beef market in 2003, Johnston began producing more commercial cattle and finishing them himself, running about 240 head. “We actually began doing more on the commercial side before the BSE crisis,” says Johnston. “But once BSE hit we stepped up our commercial program and began to retain ownership of the steers. I believe you can always make money on good cattle and I had enough data on this herd that told me if I finished these cattle properly I could still make a few pennies on each one, or at least not lose my shirt,” says Johnston. “And that approach came true— we were still able to make a few dollars on these cattle.” Relying on the genetic potential of his cattle, Johnston was consistently able to finish and market steers with a good mix of AAA and AA carcass grading for a price premium. Whether it was on younger purebred cattle that were culled, or on his own finished steers, he always sought out carcass data from the packing plant to

through the Beef InfoXchange System (BIXS) is a valuable confirmation of whether his breeding program is on the right track. Johnston, who owns Nisku Land and Cattle Inc. near Fillmore, Sask has farmed between both the purebred and commercial cattle industries for the past 40 years. He focused on purebred Simmental cattle for many years, when the BSE crisis developed in early 2000s then switched to producing and finishing mostly commercial cattle, and although he has been downsizing in the past year, still runs a smaller purebred as well as commercial beef herd. But whether it is the commercial or purebred side he has always been interested in learning as much about cattle performance as he could. “Basically it comes down to you can’t fix what you don’t know,” says Johnston. “We have always been interested in seeing carcass data even before BIXS came along, but now it becomes a much easier process. “ On the purebred side he began using ultrasound technology to measure marbling on replacement cattle in 1990s. “We were really impressed where the Simmental breed was headed, but because the registry hadn’t been developed yet, we couldn’t identify the genetics we needed. We actually had to turn to Red and Black Angus to find the genetics to produce the carcass quality we wanted.” In the early 2000s he began DNA testing bulls, and continues with that today. The DNA testing confirms genetic lines in the purebred herd and also is a check against ultrasound readings of carcass quality factors. An ultrasound reading provides a measure of ribeye area, marbling and back fat thickness on a particular animal. Depending on the amount of information the producer wants, a DNA test, made from a hair sample, can also reveal its potential for ribeye, marbling and backfat as well as carcass grade, yield

most money,” he says. Johnston says when marketing on the grid he found the difference in price between a good AA animal and AAA could be very minor. “Unless you can negotiate a very good premium for cattle sold on the grid, a AA carcass with high lean meat yield can often provide as good a return as anything. The goal is produce a AAA, but at the same time maintain a lean meat yield of 59 per cent or higher.” The grid maximum at the time sought a hot carcass weight no heavier than 925 pounds, so he targeted his program to produce steers achieving an 840 to 900 pound carcass weight. And his breeding program selection over the years, has been on target — selecting bulls that produce the proper sized animal with desirable carcass traits. “In all the time we have been doing this before and now with BIXS we have only had one single A animal,” he says. Johnston says the potential information ﬂow that BIXS offers across the production chain is valuable information to any producer who is serious about ﬁne tuning their breeding program to produce quality cattle for the market place.

“And it reduces the risk,” he says. “You can ﬁnish and market your own cattle to get carcass data, but then you are carrying all the risk of feeding those cattle. With BIXS, any producer can produce a nice bunch of calves, sell them to a feedyard and then in a few months get the carcass data delivered to them. It takes a bit of learning to know how to read and understand a carcass report, but it can be an important tool in guiding your breeding program. Johnston admits that genetic selection is only part of the equation in producing a market animal with top carcass quality — the feedlot feeding program also plays an important role too. “But genetics is most important part of the equation,” he says. “As one of the leading beef industry experts, Charlie Gracey, says ‘you can’t make a poor carcass better, if the genetics aren’t there. But, with poor management you can certainly wreck a good carcass. ‘ As producers, I believe it is important to know who is feeding your cattle and how they are feeding them,” he says. “I do my best to ﬁnd out where my calves go and follow up with the

guide his breeding program. “The carcass data from the packing plant was able to tell us generally how the herd was performing, but it wasn’t able to narrow it down to the individual genetics of an animal,” he says. “That is where BIXS is an improved information tool. We are able to get carcass data speciﬁc to each tagged animal. We have 11 breeding pastures on this farm, so with that I.D. number I can know with almost certainty the dam and the sire of that animal, and then evaluate how those genetics are performing.” Johnston says by being able to connect the carcass quality information of an individual animal with its sire and dam he can decide which bulls are producing the most desirable carcass traits in steers and select accordingly. “With our breeding management and record keeping system, once I get that carcass data back from the packing plant and it is associated with an RFID number, I can easily check the records and know exactly the sire and dam of that animal. And if for some reason that sire and dam combination isn’t producing a calf that produces a desirable carcass it doesn’t mean I have to cull them. I can just look at the genetic information I have for the herd and perhaps just put that cow with

a different bull next year to improve the traits in the next calf.” While Johnston, in the past couple years, is no longer retaining ownership of steers, he can still receive carcass data reports on his cattle. Calves marketed last fall, for example, are being backgrounded at a feedyard in Saskatchewan and then will be finished at a feedlot in Ontario. If finished cattle are processed at the Cargill plant in Ontario “those carcass data reports will eventually arrive back at the computer in my office,” he says. When he was marketing his own steers Johnston was selling them on the grid. That required that at least 60 per cent of the steers grade AAA, with the rest hopefully producing AA carcasses. “And really it is the AAs where we made the

HERD BULLS:

Launched in 2014, the veterinary service had about 30 clients sign up for the app last year and more are expected in 2015. Producers have the app on their cell phone or tablet and can enter as much information as they want into BIXS. The key pieces of information along with CCIA tag number are date of birth (birth date method — either actual or calving start date) and sex of calf. But, the app can be used to enter a wide range of information including notes on calving difficulty and any treatment protocols. “Along with the basics they can enter as much information as they want,” says Jelinski. “And they can do it right there in field or later if it is more convenient. And then with a couple of simple steps that information can be sent directly to BIXS.” Recognizing that BIXS is really just getting established as an a conduit for information back and forth through the beef production chain, Jelinski says they offered the app as a way to get producers familiar with providing information to BIXS. As the flow of information matures, he says there will hopefully be value in helping producers better manage or fine-tune their breeding programs, and search out market opportunities. “It may be of value to go to an auction mart or feedlot with records that include a vaccination certificate on all your calves,” he says. “And with a record of animal health protocols there may be more opportunity to access markets looking for natural beef, or hormone free, or antibiotic free cattle. So the app is a value added service to help clients get on board early and become familiar with BIXS, and the process of collecting this information.”

No one in the world was ever you before, with your particular gifts and abilities and possibilities. It’s a shame to waste those by doing what someone else has done. - Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)

feeder if I can. But at the same time, most of these feedyards are doing their best to optimize their rates of gain and produce a quality animal. It is in their best interest to market good quality cattle. And if the genetics are there to begin with, those cattle will finish properly.” “One important caution is not to let your herd get too far to one extreme or the other because then it becomes too hard to bring it back. If the reports start to show that animals are getting too big, for example, bring different genetics in to your breeding program. You may have to swallow your ego and buy a different breed altogether, but it will keep those cattle in the range that the market wants.” App for BIXS Recognizing the importance of having more information to make better decisions, is one reason an Alberta veterinary clinic has developed a mobile app to help clients connect with BIXS as a value added service. The app, developed to work with all Android phones, is intended to make it easier for producers to enter calving and other relevant information onto the BIXS system, says Dr. Mike Jelinski with Veterinary Agri-Health Services Ltd. in Airdie, just north of Calgary. It is available to clients for a nominal fee. “We knew that certainly some of our clients were interested in having access to carcass data, and we felt by developing this app it would make it easier for them to access BIXS and be a value added service,” says Jelinski.

How are biocontrol agents like James Bond? As the public grows more concerned about chemical use, many growers struggle with how to keep their product saleable while using fewer pesticides. As such, some growers are turning to a new kind of ‘undercover operative’ to deal with crop pests. “Biological controls or biocontrol agents attack and ‘neutralize’ or reduce pests in a cropping system and can be used to manage insects as well as weeds

and diseases,” says Dustin Morton, commercial horticulture specialist, Alberta Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “These increasingly popular agents are just one aspect of a good Integrated Pest Management program.” Beneficial Control Agents (BCAs) or “natural enemies” include beneficial bacteria, fungi, nematodes and insects that feed on harmful organisms. BCAs are often introduced into an area like

will actually control the pest by eventually killing it, as opposed to parasites which may just slow it down. Common examples of these agents are parasitic wasps or fungal pathogens.” With herbivory, “assassin” insects or diseases are imported from a problematic weed’s native range to deal with a weed problem. While these agents are not as common in Canada, there are successes, as with the black dot spurge beetle controlling leafy spurge or the root-crown weevil on knapweed. Given the options available, growers need to consider these important, not-so-secret agents as part of their IPM program, adds Morton. “By incorporating these into their cropping systems, growers can reap the benefits of a diversified pest management plan and truly give these agents a license to kill.” Contact: Dustin Morton 310-3276(FARM)

a greenhouse or field, or can be native natural enemies that are encouraged to proliferate or colonize, as in many field situations. “Most growers are familiar with predation as a control method,” says Morton. “Predation can mean one insect feeding on another, such as ladybugs on aphids, but can also include mites and flatworms feeding on nematodes or soil dwelling animals dining on fungi. BCAs that control through predation might be specific (they only control a certain life-stage or certain species) or they may be more generalist like a true ‘00 agent’ and eat a number of different species.” More specialized than predation, parasitism involves an agent living in or feeding on a pest. “Parasites, however, should not be confused with parasitoids which tend to be more common in biocontrol,” explains Morton. “This differentiation is important as parasitoids

Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development’s (ARD) livestock research branch has launched its own website. “Ever wondered if you can feed faba beans to pigs?” asks Miranda Smit, technical writer and co-developer of the website, ARD. “Or camelina meal to poultry? Interested in using synchronization protocols to improve your dairy herd’s reproductive performance? Or want to know more about genomics in beef production?” The answers to these and many other questions can be found at the new website, says Smit. “It’s a portal to information from each research group within the livestock research branch, those being poultry, beef, dairy, aquaculture,

animal welfare, monogastric feed and feed quality.” Each research group has its own page with information on who they are, projects they’re working on, presentations, published results, factsheets, and other interesting information, says Smit. “If you’ve seen a presentation by a member of the livestock research branch and would like to have a look at the PowerPoint presentation or poster later, there’s a good chance you’ll find it on the website. It’s really convenient.” The website is at www.agriculture. alberta.ca/livestockresearch. Contact: Miranda Smit 780-427-8409

Sniffer dogs lend a nose to mandatory boat inspections AGRI-NEWS MARCH 30, 2015

As Alberta introduces mandatory boat inspections, inspectors will be happy to have the help of sniffer dogs to speed up the inspection process. “Aquatic Invasive Species are one the largest threats facing Alberta’s waterways and biodiversity. The inclusion of mandatory boat inspections and sniffer dogs to our Aquatic Invasive Species program are essential tools in our arsenal against a zebra and quagga mussel infestation.” - Kyle Fawcett, Minister of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Once Bill 13, the Fisheries (Alberta) Amendment Act, is proclaimed into law, watercraft inspections will become mandatory and inspection stations will be located at commercial vehicle weigh stations throughout the province, as well as main points of entry. Following a successful pilot last summer, Working Dogs for Conservation will provide Wicket, Lily and Orbee to carry out inspections, while Alberta works to train its own permanent team of canines. The dogs will be focusing on Albertans returning home from the mussel-infested southern United States. “We must all work together to ensure we protect our vital water environment and our economy in southern Alberta. Our partnership with the Government to fund these dogs and their handlers, together with mandatory boat inspections, will protect the more than 4,000 kilometres of irrigation pipelines in southern Alberta.” - Ron McMullin, executive director, Alberta Irrigation Projects Association Zebra and quagga mussels can spread quickly and

live out of water for up to 30 days. Once introduced to a waterbody, they are virtually impossible to eradicate. The province estimates that an infestation of invasive mussels in Alberta could cost the province more than $75 million annually – including damage to infrastructure and recreational opportunities.

National Bee Health Action Plan released OTTAWA, March 18, 2015 – On March 5, 2015, the National Bee Health Roundtable (BHRT) held its third workshop since its inception in March 2014. The industry members of the BHRT were pleased to report on the achievements of the first year. The roundtable, a coalition of stakeholders with a direct interest in the health of bees, is taking action to improve bee health and has several areas of significant progress. This includes the development of a National Bee Health Action Plan which presents key objectives and factors that contribute to the health of bees. “The collaborative approach of the Roundtable, which brings together a wide array of stakeholders, regulators and experts, has proven to be an invaluable tool in the examination and protection of bee health,” said Rod Scarlett, co-Chair of the BHRT and Executive Director of the Canadian Honey Council. “We are able to draw upon the expertise of members from across Canada and develop a viable national framework for the protection of bees.” The National Bee Health Action Plan identifies priority issues, fosters collaborative and innovative activities that help maintain a healthy honeybee population in Canada, and supports a competitive Canadian apicultural industry. The BHRT heard about achievements in three priority areas: reduction of Varroa Mites; the development of Best Management Practices (BMPs); and pesticide risk mitigation. It was recognized that significant progress had been made in moving closer to providing additional tools for beekeepers to control one of the biggest threat to bee health, the parasitic Varroa mite. The BHRT has requested that Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada place a high priority, as part of their minor use programs, on a new Varroa control product and an antibiotic for treatment of serious hive disease. “Honeybee health is important to the entire agriculture and agri-food value chain”, said William van Tassel, First Vice-Chair, Fédération des Producteurs de Cultures Commerciales du Québec “Having all parties working together in a productive manner has led to real progress in a positive environment.” The next National Bee Health Roundtable meeting is scheduled for October 2015.

On the open road BIG LIVES and the women who live them! Right across this magniﬁcent country called Canada, spring is attempting to land We riders are twitching with anticipation. Some of us have gotten out for our ﬁrst brain clearer of the season, others have been riding almost all year (Vancouver Island) and yet others are still buried in snow.

The anticipation that longer days bring, the viewing of photos of others who have been able to ride make a person even more twitchy and anxious. Everyone says they are ready to ride, but, are you, really? Beyond having your motorcycle checked over; lights, oil, seals, bearings, tires, brakes, cables etc... Are YOU REALLY ready for riding

season? Have you looked your gear over? Is your helmet ready to be replaced? Are your gloves, boots and jacket, pants or chaps in good repair? How about your rain gear? Heated gear? And what about your ﬁrst aid kit? I can’t tell you how many riders I have met that do not carry a ﬁrst aid kit.

Like my bike, my ﬁrst aid kit is something that I go through at the beginning of riding season to ensure that everything is still useable and not expired. The ﬁrst aid kit that the Hotel Port Aux Basque gave me has alcohol swabs (replaced with fresh ones every year), rubber gloves, scissors, tweezers, band aides of various sizes, gauze, tape,

iodine swabs, pins and an emergency response card that guides you through the basics of emergency care. I have always carried one. You just never know when it might come in handy. I added to that kit by adding a small bottle of Polysporin, Advil, eye drops, Reactine, more Bug Bite after care, extra hand sanitizer, Rub A535 and some ice rub, some emu oil which is also great for burns, after sun care as well as some prescription pain killers that I had left over from a dental procedure. I also added a small folding knife/saw blade and some good nail clippers. (the folding saw blade and knife is great if you need to make a splint) Aside from that I also carry a foil

r001919588

blanket. I put the first aid kit and the extras I carry into a small RED “lunch bag” that I bought at the dollar store and marked First Aid on it. I keep that handy in my top box and I put it in the same spot all the time so that I always know where it is. I also generally keep a few granola bars with jam in them and a bottle of water in the top box. This gives me some sugar to prevent/reduce shock and water to rinse wounds with. I have had to use my first aid kit several times, once when friend burned his leg on his pipes moving his bike in his camping spot, another time a friend got something in their eye and then there was my crash in Ireland where it was also put to good use. Several times I have dolled out band aids and or gauze pads. All of the gear I just described takes up a very tiny amount of room on my bike and I feel better knowing I have some tools to help myself or someone else should the need ever arise. Are you prepared? Do you carry a first aid kit? If not, how come? If so, what do you include in your kit? Have a great day everyone and if you are blessed to be riding, please ride like everyone around you is blind and can ot see you. Belt Drive Betty, Editor & Rider
