The closing price of the Ridley shares on the TSX on April 22, 2015 was CAD $33.94. The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the merger. “This transformative transaction that combines two industry leaders allows Alltech to deliver better performance and value to livestock and poultry producers across the globe,” said Dr. Pearse Lyons, founder and president of Alltech. “With Ridley’s leading animal nutrition supplements, block products, extensive livestock and poultry producer distribution network and on-farm presence, we will be able to bring our advanced nutrition technology to market faster and more effectively. This

Improved animal nutrition is a pressing need for the productivity of the world’s livestock and food chain. Feed costs comprise the majority of livestock production costs. By improving nutrition, livestock and poultry producers are able to realize a signiﬁcant increase in efﬁciencies and return on investment. Alltech’s continued commitment to tailoring nutrition and health programs with a focus on natural, antibiotic-free ingredients allows livestock and poultry producers to raise healthier animals through a process that is better for animals, consumers and the environment. The combined company will have a presence in over 128 countries and 4,200 employees worldwide. Alltech has more than doubled its sales in the last three years and is on target to achieve USD $4 billion in sales in the next few years.

Both companies are industry leaders committed to investing in sustainable nutrition solutions and advanced feeding programs that optimize physical and ﬁnancial performance on farms, leading to increased efﬁciency and value. Alltech spends approximately 10 percent of its gross revenue on R&D, more than any other company in the industry. Ridley has a strong technical team with over 40 advanced degree staff who have produced some of the industry’s best-selling and most widelyrecognized blocks and nutrition supplements and will now be working side-by-side with Alltech’s team of approximately 150 Ph.D.s. This deal will further enhance Alltech’s primacy in science and allow it to deliver this to a broader range of livestock and poultry producers in the U.S. and bring more advanced animal nutrition solutions to countries across the globe.

China agri-food trade mission a success FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 1, 2015

by Owen Roberts Three significant agreements worth an estimated $9 million have resulted from Ontario’s recent 10-day agri-food trade mission to China. The agreements stemmed from the mission, led by provincial ministers Jeff Leal (agriculture, food and rural affairs) and Michael Chan (citizenship, immigration and international trade).

Twenty delegates took part, including University of Guelph president Franco Vaccarino, promoting trade opportunities in Ontario to more than 300 Chinese agri-food companies and government officials. “This mission represented an important step forward for Ontario’s agriculture and agri-food sector,” says Leal. “It set the stage for future growth, both in terms of increased investment in Ontario and increased exports and trade with China.” The agreements involve an Ontario maple products supplier and two popular Ontario wineries. The first agreement, between Futurevic Global Sourcing and China’s Shijiazhuang Junlebao Dairy Company, is a two-year, $2-million program to supply the company with Ontario maple syrup and maple products, including maple butter, taffy, candy, sauces and maple sap drinks. Pillitteri Estates Winery and Hare Wine Company of China signed a $6-million agreement for more

Ontario icewine. The investment from Hare Wine Company will establish a new vineyard and winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake. As well, as a result of the mission, Vineland Estates Winery announced a new wine retailing and distribution agreement with its long-term Chinese partner, L’Huillier Wine Company. The agreement will see more than $1 million of the winery’s products sold in China in the coming year. “Chinese consumers are increasingly aware of the world-class wines made in Ontario,” says Leal. “This demonstrates the significant opportunity for export growth in Ontario’s wine and grape sector.” Ontario considers China a priority market. It’s one of the province’s key Asian markets, representing Ontario’s second-largest export market for agri-food products.

“Producers should consider seed treatments like an insurance policy for establishing the best crop possible given the growing conditions at the time,” says Bill Chapman, crop business development specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Barrhead. “If conditions are good for crop establishment, seed treatments may not be needed. However, if growing conditions at establishment are not ideal, the benefits of using a seed treatment will often more than pay for themselves. Good crop establishment is one of the most important stages in a crop’s development. Any negative impact at this stage will affect the stages after this and at the end, could impact yields.” Chapman says that, most importantly, seed treatment helps in controlling disease. “Your seed may be infected with a disease that was in the crop it originated from. A good seed treatment will prevent most seed borne diseases, like fusarium and smuts, from developing. If you bought pedigreed seed, the seed certificate of analysis should tell you if any diseased kernels were found and of which disease.”

Chapman says a lot of areas in the province, especially in central Alberta with the snow and cold last fall, had problems with germination. “There were reports of 40-80 per cent germination on some cereal crops which is way too low. Seed treatment won’t cure this, but if you’ve checked your seed and are ready to go, treatment will help control diseases as they come in, and to keep the roots clean for the first 10-14 days after seeding. Treating your seed helps ensure your crop is getting as good as a start as you can give it.” Chapman says it is critical to check the root systems for problems. “When you look at the primary and secondary roots you can see what the cleaner seed that was treated looks like. You should get out there every three to five days to make sure nothing is going on that can cost you, and to check for germination and emergence.” He adds you should also keep an eye out for are things like common root rot, which will be a darker brown discolouration on the plant, and which can affect a plants ability to uptake nutrients and water.

Growing global middle class good for Canada’s Farmers FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 1, 2015

by Neil Billinger A new wave of consumers is changing the world economy and Canadian farmers are poised to reap the benefits. There are currently two billion people in the global middle class. The World Bank defines the category as those earning above $10,000 per year. Projections estimate 4.9 billion people will have that much income by 2030, making it the largest increase in overall affluence since the Industrial Revolution. Living standards are improving quickly in Asia and South America – regions where the Canadian government has signed, or is negotiating, free trade agreements. During an address at Feeding the Global Middle Class, a symposium in Saskatoon in late April sponsored by the Canada West Foundation, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz cited Chile, Peru, Colombia and

Mexico as examples in Latin America, but added the big numbers are in large population countries in Asia. He said China’s middle class is growing by the population of Canada each year. “We are seeing our exports to China grow exponentially when it comes to grains and oilseeds,” Ritz said. “We are doing about two per cent of China’s imports right now and we know that we can grow the market to ﬁve or 10 per cent, but it is going to take some hard work.” As incomes rise, consumption increases and also changes. People want to expand and improve their diets by consuming more protein, fats and oils. This means opportunities for beef, pork, canola oil, peas and lentils. Canadian farmers grow or raise all of these commodities in large quantities. Murad Al-Katib is the president and CEO of AGT Food and Ingredients. The Saskatchewan-based company is a world leader in value-added pulses, selling to more than 100 countries. He says pulse crops are an

excellent ﬁt for the growing global middle class. “The lowest income earners are consuming pulses and vegetable protein and so are the higher income earners,” Al-Katib says. “Middle class spending in Asia is expected to grow from $21 trillion to $56 trillion by 2030. China and India will be the drivers.” Al-Katib says Canada needs to leave low-cost grain production to countries like Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan and focus instead on higher-value products. “I think that’s where the returns for Western Canadian farmers will continue to come and where the returns are for the agri-processing industry.” The Canada West Foundation’s discussion paper is available on its website.

Cargill Limited contest gives back to communities

“We are looking forward to learning about all the great charitable work that is going on in the communities we serve,” says Vassart. “This is one contest in which everyone can participate – whether you are nominating an organization or voting for a cause that is meaningful to you. Help us invest this money where it’s needed most.” The contest runs from April 15 until June 30, 2015. Winners will be selected by a panel of Cargill judges based on ﬁnancial need, the quality of submission, the impact the project will have in the community, how well the applicant shares Cargill’s values and the number of online votes received by the applicants. Winners will be announced in August, 2015. To learn more about the Together We Thrive contest visit: www.togetherwethrive.ca

Stripe rust in South and Central Regions AGRI-NEWS MAY 4, 2015

Stripe rust continues to be reported in southern and central Alberta. Eric Amundsen at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Lethbridge surveyed winter wheat fields for stripe rust last week and reported finding the disease in five of 12 fields (two in Cardston County, one field in each of Lethbridge County, County of Warner and M.D. of Taber). Stripe rust was also reported in Mountain View county by Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) researchers, Drs. Kequan Xi and Krishan Kumar. “It appears that the stripe rust fungus

may have overwintered in both southern and central Alberta because all reports are on lower leaves and no striping yet on new leaves,” says Mike Harding, plant pathologist, ARD, Brooks. “Additionally, Eric Amundsen reported the ability to recover viable stripe rust spores from winter wheat in southern Alberta on March 30, 2015.” Two of the five positive fields in southern Alberta had symptoms on more than one plant per square meter indicating that scouting for stripe rust in winter wheat should remain a priority.

MILLING OATS

The International Grains Council came out with their most recent estimate for the 2015/16 crop year with global grain and oilseed production pegged at 1.95 Billion tonnes (three per cent above the fiveyear average) and demand estimated at 1.97 Billion tonnes, just 1 million tonnes short of the record from the 2014/15 crop year. We need to keep in mind that there is a big carryout that is still being worked through, which is why prices remain generally depressed. However, there are more and more analysts who are looking at the amount of bears in the wheat market as the catalyst to push things higher (Disclaimer: this does not mean we’re getting back to $10 wheat any time soon). Hedge funds continue to be very bearish on corn and wheat, sitting at record short positions in the futures markets. While there has been some resiliency behind this short call by the managed money sector, if the market remains range-bound between lines of support & resistance, then traders may start dumping their short positions, a move that would support prices to the upside. Many analysts (including yours truly) agree that the world bearish fundamentals have already been priced into wheat and corn. With that in mind, any upside in the futures markets may be just incorporated into the basis (i.e. a 40 cent move to the upside in the futures, but 20 cents could be taken by the basis!). Take into account that Canadian Loonie has been appreciating against the U.S. Dollar, that’s just more price action that the basis will likely account for (versus just straight cash). The market is generally believing that North American production will be marginally below the 2014/15 harvest but I was always told not to count my chickens before they hatch. M.A.R.S., the agronomy division of the European Commission, is of the same mindset as while they upped their estimates for average wheat yields in Europe to 87.6 bu/ac, winter barley, to 103.5 bu/ac, and rapeseed to 57 bu/ac, they did put out a warning that most of the continent would be in need of some good precipitation soon or their yield forecasts would drop (this includes parts of Russia & Ukraine). Here in Western Canada, with StatsCan suggesting less canola acres this year, the 2015/16 caryyout could be a little tight, especially with a new crush plant in Camrose, AB, but I’m still looking at Europe as more of the price leader over the next six weeks or so. For wheat, StatsCan’s estimate of 24.8 million acres (up almost four per cent from 2014) doesn’t help anyone who’s expecting prices to go higher. Barley acreage up 10 per cent to 6.45 million acres is more an indication of growing international demand but oats prices certainly aren’t buying acres like Statsan is suggesting at 3.65 million (up almost 30 per cent year-overyear). As for the pulses and flax, whose numbers came in below expectations, you still shouldn’t be using 40 cent/lbs for lentils and $10 yellow peas for your cashflow projections because that is more of a hope than a legitimate plan. Prices remain above their 10 year averages for most lentils and yellow peas, and with the acreage numbers a little lower than people were expecting, some optimism for higher prices is warranted but just like hope, greed is not a good marketing strategy either (locking in a profit is though!).

(Contributed by Frances Bogner, May 4, 2015) The Alberta Women’s Institute Peace River Constituency Conference was held at the Senior Centre in Berwyn on April 10, 2015. Constituency Convener, Diane Smith, introduced Berwyn Mayor Ron Longtin, who brought greetings from the Village. Diane then led the opening ceremonies, and introduced the head table: Faye Mayberry, Provincial AWI President from Red Deer; Frances Bogner, District 1 Director; and Mona Flett, Secretary for the day. A memorial service led by Zella Pimm was held for WI members Mary Johnson and Edna Whittleton, who passed away since the last Conference, and for all deceased WI members. Paul Ramer played the piano for “O Canada” and “Blest be the Tie That Binds”. AWI President Faye Mayberry showed articles that may be purchased from the AWI Office. She then brought forth several matters of importance, including the resolutions to be voted on at the AWI Provincial Convention being held June 1 – 3 in Camrose.

Can you get sick from your animals? Zoonotic disease Dr. Zoe Ross DVM Zoonotic diseases are diseases that people can “catch” from animals. There are over 200 zoonotic diseases in the world. We are very fortunate in this area because some of the most severe zoonotic diseases do not exist here – partly because of control measures and vaccination programs in animals and partly because of the climate. Diseases such as rabies, brucellosis and tuberculosis all have high control measures in place in Canada. There are zoonotic diseases that peace area residents should be aware of and preventative measure that can be taken to protect you and your family. Some of these include: Ringworm - this is a fungal skin infection that can be passed from animals to people and also from people to animals. Typically not life threatening, ringworm is more likely to affect young, old or immune compromised people and animals. In animals it can result in circular areas of hairloss and irritated skin and in people it can cause irritated skin. Salmonella, E. coli, Campylobacter and Cryptosporidium – these are all examples of bacteria (and a parasite) that can cause gastrointestinal illness in both people and animals. They are usually spread by the fecal oral route. So contaminated food, water or hands can result in people getting these diseases. These diseases can be quite severe and cause severe diarrhea and dehydration. Farm animal babies (foals, calves, or lambs) can be infected with these pathogens

and get “scours” or diarrhea and then the people that are caring for these sick animals can become infected if they are not careful with washing their hands. Turtles are also known carriers of salmonella so it is very important for kids to wash their hands very thoroughly before and after handling turtles. Parasites – there are several different types of parasites that animals can be infected with that are zoonotic. Toxocara canis and Toxocara felis are two common types of parasites that can infect dogs and cats that can infect people. People are infected by ingestion of the eggs of these parasites which are found in animal feces. The larval stage of them can migrate through people’s bodies and cause tissue damage and illness. It is very important to deworm your pets on a regular basis, consider having your pet’s feces tested for parasites and also make sure to have appropriate hygiene measures around your pets. Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a parasite that cats can carry and it is a disease that pregnant women should be aware of and discuss with their physician if they have cats in their house. The purpose of this article is not to instill fear into people but rather to remind people to take common sense measures to help protect themselves from zoonotic diseases. 1) Wash your hands before and after handling animals (some of the diseases you may have can also sometimes be transmitted to animals) 2) Keep your animals current on veterinary care

Leave newborn wildlife in the wild With fawning and calving season underway, provincial biologists are reminding people that newborn deer, elk or moose should not be touched or moved when encountered. People who ﬁnd these newborns alone often mistakenly believe they have been abandoned, but usually their mother has only left them temporarily, and will return. It is normal for mother deer, elk and other ungulates to leave their young alone for long periods, returning a few times a day to nurse, and relying on the newborn's lack of scent to protect them from predators. While professional wildlife rehabilitation facilities in some areas of B.C. can successfully rear these newborns, there is no maternal care and their chances of survival are far less than if they had been raised by their true mother. This is true not just for deer; many mammals leave their young alone for long periods of time, only to return to feed them at regular intervals.

So, if you encounter a young deer or calf in the wild at this time of the year, appreciate the experience, but don't approach or intervene. If you ﬁnd a fawn or calf that you think may be orphaned, here's what you should do: - If it is lying quietly, leave it alone and leave the area. Your presence will discourage the mother from returning. - Keep all children and especially dogs away from the area. - If you think the fawn or calf is not being cared for by its mother, return the next day to check. If it is in the exact same spot, it may be injured or orphaned. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator as soon as possible, but do not touch, feed or move the animal. To ﬁnd a wildlife rehabilitator near you, visit the Wildlife Rehabilitators Network of British Columbia at www.wrnbc.org. — Prince George Citizen

Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic

– regular parasite control and monitoring, vaccination (rabies vaccination is very important in the control of this zoonotic disease), and examinations if you think you animal is unwell are all important steps in controlling disease. 3) Feed your pets cooked or processed food – E. coli and Salmonella infections can be a result of feeding a pet improperly handled or stored raw meat. 4) Keep litter boxes clean and disinfect them occasionally. Gloves should be worn when cleaning litter boxes. It is typically recommended that pregnant women do not clean litter boxes. 5) Cover children’s sandboxes when they are not in use (cats often see these a giant litter boxes) 6) Wash food (fruits and vegetables) before eating them 7) Cook meat properly prior to eating it 8) Insect control – mosquitoes and ticks can spread disease between animals. There are many resources on the internet regarding zoonotic diseases – one good one is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) website also has some information for animal owners on zoonoses (as well as other useful information on animal care). If you are concerned that you may have a zoonotic disease, consult your physician and if you animal is unwell, then consult your veterinarian.

A few hiccups couldn't stop the show as the Dawson Creek Exhibition and Stampede put on what was, according to the head official for Pro Rodeo Canada, one of the best rodeos in the country. The eight-inch layer of dirt on the Encana Events Centre arena floor didn’t hold up Friday night, which caused some problems for a few different events. "We had a few mistakes," said co-organizer and Pro Rodeo Canada head official Terry Cooke. "We had a little problem with the ground and stuff down there and the rodeo went a bit too long on Friday because we had to fix some stuff up." Despite that, the consensus among competitors and

organizers was that these annoyances didn’t hamper the overall product. Pouce Coupe's Clayton Moore, who brought down the house last year with a tie for the top time in the steer wrestling event, didn’t do as well this year. It was "not very good," he said. "Actually I had a terrible weekend, but that's the way it goes." Moore failed to place in any of his events. Moore's sister, Chelsea, also did not fare well in the barrel racing event, ﬁnishing well off the prize list. "She had no luck," he said. RODEO from A1 Moore has been in the United States all winter, already competing in about 20 rodeos in 2015. But none of them

No PBR Invitational in 2015 B yron Hackett

Alaska Highway news

For bull riding fans in the North Peace, the Daryl Mills PBR Invitational always showcased some of the top talent the sport has to offer. Unfortunately in 2015, the third installment of the event has been put on hold. Spokesperson and bull riding legend Daryl Mills told the Alaska Highway News last week there were several reasons why the event didn’t come together this time around. “We put off ﬁnalizing our contract from last year long enough that when we did get our agreement in order, they [the City of Fort St. John] had booked another event overtop of our weekend,” Mills said. “Our scheduling around other bull riding events and high school rodeo wouldn’t allow us another date that would work very well… Secondly with the big oil scare— that was part of the reason. Not only a little more difﬁcult from sponsors but also maybe the spectators.” Mills made the announcement quietly on the event Facebook page in February and noted that since then he has heard from sponsors and fans alike, all expressing disappointment the event isn’t a go this year. “Oh I know lots of them are,” Mills said about potential disappointment from fans with the event not returning this year. “I’m part of the high school rodeo

club too, my daughter competes actively in it. We’re part of the fundraising and other events and we have really had to do double time and double duty trying to make other fundraisers work to make up for what we lost. It had a big impact on our fundraising.” That’s a major sticking point for Mills, who said over the two years they hosted the event it raised $54,000 for the BC High School Rodeo Association. A lot of that success came from the ﬁrst event in 2013, one that he said went ‘quite well’, before experiencing a drop off in attendance the second time around. “Our ﬁrst year did go quite well, and we thought the second year should have. I made a mistake booking the event over Easter Weekend,” Mills admitted about the 2014 event. “That had a larger impact than I had realized it would. I know there’s a huge following and a huge support group that want to see it go and I enjoy doing it. The bottom line is we have to make it feasible and work for everybody.“ Mills is optimistic about a return in 2016, providing the economy stabilizes and a deal can be reached with the city to rent the arena. “The arena was costing us too much money,” he said. “I’m hoping to have a little more time to go over it with the city and hopefully we can make a more enticing agreement I guess to keep us there. I’d love to do another one— I want to do more.” sports@ahnfsj.ca

After some of the world's best bull riders came to Fort St. John in 2013 and 2014, the 2015 Daryl Mills PBR Invitational will not go forward. Organizer Daryl Mills reached the decision not to bring the event back earlier this year.

Rotational Grazing Recommended for Pastures by Richard Kamchen Rotational grazing is a low-cost investment that provides healthy pastures for cattle and reduces farmers’ cost of production. “We like to have the animals on a piece of land, defoliate it fairly significantly, and then stay off of it for a long time,” says Martin Entz, a professor of natural systems agriculture at the University of Manitoba. “When you do crowd the animals onto a piece, they are competing for feed and they’re going to do a better job of utilizing the pasture or the rangeland. “And part of that means also putting some pressure on the weeds that are there,” he adds. “They may not graze all of them, but they’ll certainly trample them.” One rule of thumb is to limit cattle to six or seven days on a paddock to avoid them re-grazing material they recently fed on. Another is to give pastures long rest periods. That can vary from 30 days for tame pasture to at least a couple months for native rangeland. The plants then have a chance to restore their root systems and improve their drought resistance. A healthier grass/ legume plant community can also compete better with weeds. Farmers are finding rotational grazing allows them to keep their cattle on pasture for longer durations. “Whereas it used to be on a particular farm 110 days on pasture, now it could be easily 220 days,” says Entz. “It’s really saving the farmers money and it’s reducing their cost of production.” The cost of maintaining an animal in a dry yard versus a pasture is about double, he notes. But over-grazing, where plants aren’t given the chance to fully recover from a previous grazing, remains a significant problem. “The percentage of ranchers and farmers that are using rotational grazing is still less than 50 per cent,” says Entz. In pastures inadequately rested, the cattle will graze out palatable species, which are replaced by unpalatable species like sage, leafy spurge and thistle. Some farmers will spray herbicide to solve the problem, but it’s a two-edged sword. “They’re taking out all of their broadleaf plants, and most pastures have a whole host of broadleaves in there, including native legumes,” says Entz. “Herbicides, unless you have a poisonous weed, they’re really a last choice.”

Attention Cattlemen!

Breakup Rodeo brings Canada's best are more special than this one, which allows him to come home and perform in front of a home crowd. “They’ve got a few kinks to iron out,” he said of the event which is now in it’s second year. “But it’s getting better and better. I had better luck here last year so I mean, sure I was a bigger fan [then]. But, it’s still a good rodeo and it’s sure nice to get to come home and compete.” Moore echoed comments from other competitors that the arena floor didn’t have much give, leaving more than a few cowboys banged up and bruised, one of the few problems with simulating an outdoor rodeo grounds inside. “There is not a lot of footing for barrel horses and calf horses to stop... just not a lot for them to get a hold of. That is something that they should definitely look at for next year,” Moore said. “But, it is what it is. It’s a great committee and they’re trying awful hard.” Final numbers were not available by press time, but organizers said all indications were that Saturday night’s crowd should boost the show’s total attendance numbers above where they were last year, which is a good sign for the growing event. However, Connie Patterson, president of the Dawson Creek Exhibition and Stampede isn’t quite sure yet what the future of the Spring Breakup Pro Rodeo looks like. “What’s frustrating for us right now is that this is a beautiful building, but it costs a lot of money and that doesn’t count anything else that we have to pay for. The announcers, the judges, the band,” Patterson said. “We bring the best, but we have trouble filling the seats. If we can’t fill the seats then there is not much point

It’s such an opportunity for the people in this north country to get to watch what they are seeing.” Four time Canadian Pro Rodeo announcer of the year Brett Gardiner said that out of the 125 events he announces each year, he may not see a better set of bareback events than the one he saw this weekend. Gardiner believes it was the combination of bringing in the best livestock from the Calgary Stampede ranch in central Alberta, and the best cowboys that Canada has to offer which made the event world class. “They’re the best that you can get,” he said. “When you have the best ingredients and you put them all together with this great building, you can’t lose.” dcreporter@dcdn.ca

Canada’s annual inflation rate reached 1.2 per cent in March, which is up from the 1.0 per cent rate seen in both January and February, according to Statistics Canada. The price of food in Canada grew 3.8 per cent over the past year. Food from stores cost 4.2 per cent more, with a 11.8 per cent jump in meat prices and a 6.4 per cent increase in the cost of fresh vegetables. Food purchased in restaurants grew 2.8 per cent over the same period. In British Columbia, prices grew slightly less than they did nationwide, with an increase of 1.0 per cent after climbing 0.8 per cent in February. Low gasoline prices continuing to be the biggest downward contributor to Canada’s inflation rate; in the 12 months to March, gas prices were down 19.2 per cent, which was lower than the 21.8 per cent year-over-year drop in February. The transportation index, which includes gasoline, saw the fifth year-over-year drop in as many months, falling 3.9 per cent. Prices fell 0.1 per cent in Alberta, driven by a 42.4 per cent plunge in the price of natural gas. “The year-over-year decline in natural gas prices in March reflected a spike in Alberta's natural gas index in March 2014, when prices rose 49.6 per cent on a monthly basis,” Statistics Canada said in a release. “In addition to paying less for natural gas on a yearover-year basis in March, consumers in Alberta paid

12.4 per cent less for electricity.” Removing gasoline from the equation, core inflation was up across the country was 2.2 per cent for the year. This was the same increase as in February. “Core inflation showed surprising vigour, up a seasonally adjusted 0.4 per cent in March,” RBC Economics’ Nick Exarhos said. “Core price resilience suggests that the Canadian economy had less slack prior to its deceleration in Q1 than the central bankers believed, a reason why the Bank is likely to sit through a one-year slowing in growth without delivering a further rate cut.” TD Economics economist Leslie Preston referred to the Bank of Canada’s latest rate announcement and points out that the central bank did upgrade its core inflation forecast, expecting it to remain near 2 per cent over the near future. “The opposing forces of the pass through of a weaker Canadian dollar to many consumer prices and softer economic growth – which dampens price pressures – are expected to roughly offset each other,” Preston said. “As such, we don't expect today's release will move the Bank of Canada from its current patient monetary policy stance.” The Canadian dollar was all over the map on the release of this data as it coincided with the announcement of the inflation figures from the United States, with both countries announcing stronger-than-expected CPI readings. The dollar rallied to 82 cents.

April 27, 2015 (Christine Buchanan, BSc Agriculture A.I.T., Gateway Research Organization) Continuing the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization 2015 International Year of Soils (IYS) celebration in Alberta, the Agricultural Research and Extension Council of Alberta (ARECA) has released the schedule for the Soil Carbon Challenge tour with Peter Donovan. Peter will be touring in his school bus to six locations in Alberta, conducting soil carbon workshops. Peter establishes baseline measurements for soil carbon in dedicated plots from Mexico to Canada, Vermont to California as part of the Soil Carbon Challenge. He wants to help people move from a problem-solving orientation around carbon cycling, soils, water, and climate, to a creative one. “Peter Donovan will conduct workshops on soil carbon and will set baselines for quantifying how land managers can transform atmospheric carbon into water-holding, fertility-enhancing soil organic matter (SOM) to improve soil health” said Dr. Yamily Zavala, Crop and Soil researcher for Chinook Applied Research Association (CARA) at Oyen. “Participants will learn how to measure soil attributes and document the changes under their own management strategies.” Workshops will be held at the following locations:

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

WOODSTILLERS TILLERS • • • •

We didn’t develop the first vertical tillage tool, which is exactly why we should be your first choice.

Peace Country Historical Facts

The meat packing industry had its beginning in the Peace area in the early 1800’s. The meat, mainly buffalo, red deer and moose, was dried in Indian fashion and shipped east to the larger centres there. In 1830 a total of 37,268 pounds of pemmican was shipped from Fort Dunvegan alone.

The staff at Sexsmith Used Farm Parts have some visitors who have taken up residence on the waterhole beside their property; probably just for a short time, but who would mind if they stuck around for a while?

The Northern Horizon, May 8, 2015

Beef is often portrayed as environmentally unfriendly due to concerns about greenhouse gas and manure production, and the amount of water, feed and fossil fuels consumed in the production, processing and transport of cattle and beef. However, cattle also make positive contributions to the environment through their ability to convert low-quality forages into high-quality protein for humans, as well as grassland’s contributions to carbon sequestration, maintenance of watersheds, wetlands, and habitat to support plant, animal, bird and insect biodiversity. Changes in production practices over the decades have improved production efficiencies that have allowed Canada to become internationally competitive have also had environmental benefits. While there is a general understanding of the beef industry’s potential environmental impacts (both negative and positive), the available data has never been

pulled together into a reliable summary of the industry’s true environmental footprint, or how it has changed over the years. Funded by the National Check-off and Canada’s Beef Science Cluster, researchers are currently working to gather and assimilate information to define the Canadian beef industry’s environmental footprint. This information will provide the beef industry with balanced, factual information to justify the environmental attributes of the Canadian Beef Advantage, assess the environmental goods and services provided by Canada’s beef industry, and identify ways in which different sectors of the industry can improve their environmental performance. The study will also enrich the Economic, Social and Environmental Sustainability Assessment being done by the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.

An Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) specialist is recommending three tools he says can be a big help with controlling fertilizer costs. “Soil testing is one of three tools you can use to make your fertilizer dollar stretch farther,” says Harry Brook, crop specialist, ARD, Stettler. “The other two tools in the box are the Nutrient Use Calculator and the AFFIRM fertilizer program, both available free from ARD. Fertilizer costs are one of the most expensive inputs for annual crops. Shouldn’t you do everything within your power to improve your bottom line?” Brook says a sound management decision on what to spend on fertilizer needs good information. “A soil test, in the spring, can give you a good understanding of the average level of nutrients in your field. It’s important to get a good, representative sample to accurately predict the average supply of macronutrients in the soil. This means multiple samples taken from the field in different locations and mixed together. The sample sent to the labs is taken from this larger, mixed sample.” Any farm commodity sold off the farm is composed of nutrients that are exported. A big crop of canola or wheat removes a lot of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur as well as small amounts of trace minerals. “Knowing how much goes into a crop

can be used as a guideline to decide how much fertilizer you’ll need to provide to get your target yield of a crop this year. The Grains, Forage and Straw Nutrient Use Calculator on ARD’s website easily gives you that information, breaking down nutrients for the straw and the grain. You fill in the expected yield and it will give you the macronutrient use in that crop. If your crop takes out 100 pounds/acre on nitrogen and you’re only putting 60 pounds on, then the rest is coming from the organic matter in the soil and will have to be replaced some time.” The AFFIRM software program is also on the ARD website under Decision Making Tools. “It’s a free download where you put in the soil test results, last year’s crop and yield, this year’s crop and expected yield, and it generates a soil fertilizer recommendation. It also allows you to adjust the moisture conditions, fertilizer budget and minimum return expected per dollar spent on fertilizer, and then generates a nutrient blend that meets those conditions. “Combine the soil test, the Grains, Forage and Straw Nutrient Use Calculator and AFFIRM together to help make the wisest fertilizer decisions and get the biggest bang for your fertilizer investment,” adds Brook. “You’ll be glad you did.” For more information on fertilizer costs call the Ag-Info Centre at 301-FARM (3276).

B.C.'s oil & gas land sale nets 20-yearlow $203,000 Richard Macedo Daily Oil Bulletin

The B.C. government attracted just $203,532.72 at its April land sale held this week, the lowest at a single auction for at least 20 years, according to statistics tracked by the Daily Oil Bulletin. Industry acquired 2,526 hectares at a very low average price of $80.58 — that average was also at least a 20-year low. Year-to-date, the province has collected $4.73 million on 14,640 hectares at an average price of $322.91. To the same point of 2014, the industry had paid $62.89 million for 38,729 hectares at an average price of $1,623.78. This was the lowest bonus at a single sale, according to DOB statistics that date back to Jan. 1, 1995. The only other

sale that came close was the May 2012 auction, which generated just $402,393. Likely factors into lower sales this year in B.C. include the fact that there’s not much good Montney land available, and companies have chopped their land budgets. “It’s a perfect storm of low gas prices — especially for Station 2 and Alliance — capex cuts this year, especially related to exploratory land purchase, and lastly, this [April] sale had very few parcels to bid on where the land parcel held rights for prospective resource,” noted Jeremy McCrea, an analyst with AltaCorp Capital Inc., adding that the sections are a long ways away from any Montney/Doig/Halfway activity. “As seen, out of the 11 packages to bid, only four received acceptable bids.”

Tammi Leader Fuller, 55, is outdoors most of the time, running her Malibu, Calif.based sleepover camps for grown-ups. Yet, she knows she does not get enough of D, the “sunshine vitamin,” because it requires ultraviolet rays to be absorbed. “I’m always covered with sunscreen because I’ve had skin cancer,” said Leader Fuller (www.campowerment. com). “So I’m in the sun, but my D level was way low. Now I take a 10,000 IU supplement a day and eat vitamin D foods, and my level is almost normal.” Vitamin D deﬁciency is not unique to people in cloudy Northern states, said METRO PHOTO Kim Larson, a registered dietitian/nutritionist in Seattle and a spokeswoman for There are other ways to get vitamin the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

indoor lifestyles, bodies crave vitamin D the “Ozzie and Harriet” days when almost every meal included milk. About 42 percent of adults are Ddeﬁcient, according to the most recent National Health & NuReal Estate Listing trition Examination Survey. The percentage varies a lot by race: Blacks have the highest rate, 82 percent. Most people she tests in Seattle lack

enough vitamin D, Larson said, and it is especially prevalent among teens. “They complain of being sore and tired, and you think it’s because of their busy sports schedules,” she said. “But they aren’t getting enough D.” Half of the 60 adults in his 2014 study did not have enough D, said Peter Horvath, associate professor of exercise and nutrition sciences at the University of Buffalo in New York state. “You might not see the effects for years, though, so you don’t know it,” he warned. D is the closest thing to a magic bullet in the vitamin world, affecting our health from every angle. It maintains our calcium and phosphorous levels, which in turn strengthen our immune system, keep us sharp and help prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, Type 2 dia-

betes and many types of cancer. D helps prevent osteoporosis (weak bones) and osteomalacia (bone pain). Doctors prescribe high D levels for the treatment of a range of ailments from autoimmune disorders to multiple sclerosis. Getting the right combination of food and sunlight, though, is complicated. Dark-skinned people are at greater risk for D deﬁciency because their skin shields them from sunlight. Older people’s skin is less able to process sunlight.

Being overweight means D is jailed by your fat tissues instead of being used efﬁciently. Many common medications, including diuretics and anti-seizure drugs, counteract vitamin D. Ask your doctor to give you a vitamin D test, which may not be part of an annual exam, Larson said. Then a dietitian can prescribe a custom combination of foods and supplements.
