With the snow beginning to disappear and April just around the corner, the birds that migrate south to avoid a Canadian winter will be returning.

And that means seeking nests for the business of raising a family, like this well created one that must have been built last year, but appears ready for summer occupancy.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 77-year-old man in good health except for irritable bowel syndrome for 35 years. Six months ago, I started taking two low-dose aspirins daily as a preventive, and since then all IBS symptoms have disappeared. Stools and frequency are now normal and without any intense cramping, gas or urgency, which I had for all those years. Frankly, I’m pleasantly shocked, since I thought IBS had no cure. I take no other medications or supplements, so it seems likely that the aspirin has alleviated or maybe cured my IBS. I thought other readers might be interested.

Any thoughts? — B.C. ANSWER: Yours is

Six wins during a threeweek span in March (and a little bit of April) wins you a college basketball championship.

Sounds easy, right? Isn’t the NCAA Tournament the great equalizer? You pick 68 teams out of the 1,281 institutions in the NCAA, put them into brackets, sit back and watch. After all, isn’t this what people are clamoring for on the football side of things? A tournament?

But as we all know, college is supposed to educate you and prepare you for life. Unwittingly, the NCAA Tournament succeeds in that respect because when you really drill down and analyze what’s going on, you find out a few things.

Things like: Duke will probably win it all. As long as Mike Krzyzewski is the coach, this will always be the team I pencil in to my bracket’s final blank space. Also, those teams that are so psyched up to get into the “play-in” game? They have zero shot of ever winning the tournament. For one thing, no No. 1 seed has ever lost to a No. 16 seed, and that

a very unusual but not unheard of response to aspirin. Most people with IBS find that aspirin and other anti-inflammatories worsen IBS symptoms. I have read of others who have the same response you seem to, however.

Aspirin remains controversial as a preventive in people without heart disease, but I believe the benefits outweigh the risks in people at high risk for heart disease, even if they are undiagnosed. Always speak with your doctor before beginning a course of aspirin, even if it’s lowdose.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have taken the same dosage of Synthroid for several years. Since this dose successfully maintains my thyroid level, is it still necessary for me to have my bloodwork done once a year, or could I either stop having bloodwork done or have the test performed every other year? — R.M. ANSWER: In general, the dose of replacement thyroid remains roughly constant over the long term. However, the dose

may need to be adjusted for several reasons, including weight change, other medication use, change in absorption due to gastrointestinal developments or pregnancy. Also, even normal aging alters the metabolism of thyroid hormone, so I’d recommend continuing to check levels once yearly at a minimum.

The booklet on thyroid disorders provides insight into the various forms and treatment of this disease.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Several weeks ago, I contracted a bad cold with much congestion.

I have received an antibiotic plus nasal spray, and most of the congestion is gone. I have no pain.

My concern is that my ears are still partially blocked.

I can clear them by pinching my nose and blowing,

might actually be a statistic you take to your grave.

While it is, of course, conceivably possible that a team like Mythical State one day sinks the shot to beat Duke or UNC, it’s very unlikely.

It gets better (or worse): No team ranked lower than the eighth seed has ever won the tournament and, again, don’t hold your breath to see things change there, either. While it’s conceivable that a 10th seed can make a six-game run, it’s improbable. It’s also conceivable that monkeys can fly out of your posterior, but I wouldn’t wait for that, either.

So go ahead and fill out your brackets. I always do two of them. One always has Maryland (my alma mater) winning it all, but my real money is always on Duke. Funny how Duke was given a No. 2

seed this year, too ... No. 1 seeds have won 60 percent of the time, but Duke since 1980 has won five NCAA Championships, 12 Final Fours, 12 Atlantic Coast Conference regular season titles and 13 ACC Tournament championships.

Go ahead and pick Oregon or Michigan or any other team. You will lose. Gonzaga, Villanova, Kansas, North Carolina, Duke or Kentucky will win it all this year. No play-in game can change that ... no quirky back-door offense can take it to the bank.

Trust me on this.

Don’t get mad at the NCAA for March Madness.

The madness you create is your own, and it’s a proven fact ... Cinderellas only exist in the movies.

such as one does in an aircraft, but I must do this frequently. I am worried about hearing damage. I don’t know what else to do. — R.F. ANSWER: The Eustachian tube connects your middle ear with the back of the throat and equalizes the pressure in your ear. It is common for congestion to linger.

Fortunately, it does not permanently damage hearing, and usually goes away by itself. Decongestants can help, but do not use a decongestant spray such as Afrin (oxymetazoline) for more than three days.

The Bra Lady Is coming to Size You Up

Yorkton, TUESDAY, APRIL 11TH

to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said.

“What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

IN BRIEF

Ducks get new homes thanks to Boy Scouts

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Boy scouts from Yorkton and Melville had the chance to learn a bit about nature and help out some ducks in the process.

The group built and installed nests for mallard ducks at the Ravine Ecological Preserve.

Jesse Nielsen with the Assiniboine Watershed Authority explains that the program came about thanks to a grant called the Go Wild grant, to celebrate Canada’s 150th. The purpose of the grant was to do some wildlife related project and get some community involvement in the process.

The scouts built the nests themselves, rolling out the wire and the flax, putting it together and getting the structures built.

The scouts were a natural fit for the project, Nielsen says, because they’re also about getting outdoors, and it was a way to

teach kids about nature and do an outdoor project.

The nests are a tunnel, designed to reduce the amount of predation. The other advantage over a traditional nest is that only mallard ducks actually like to use, so there’s no risk of other birds also trying to use the nest for their own. An added advantage is that it’s a way to keep predators away.

“The crows and that, they haven’t figured out that there’s something inside the tunnel.”

One of the scouts was Ethan Latimer, who thought the program was “pretty awesome.” Latimer learned how to make the nests, as well as more about nature in Saskatchewan, including how rivers are connected in the province. It was a good day for the scouts, and Latimer was happy to participate in the program.

“I think many people should do this, it’s quite an experience.”

Yorkton’s Boy Scouts put finishing touches on their mallard duck nests. The scouts built and installed the nests as part of the Helping Our Feathered Friends project. Scouts from Yorkton and Melville participated in the project, with the two communities collaborating on construction while the Yorkton group did the installation at the Ravine Ecological Preserve. The project was done with the Assiniboine Watershed Authority.

• “Here’s my tip: Fasten all buttons, snaps, fasteners and zippers on your clothes before washing and drying. It will help them keep their shape.

Turn socks insides out, too.

It will help prevent them from getting fuzzballs.”

— M.W. in Saskatchewan, Canada • “If you are training a puppy or your fur baby has an accident on the carpet, here’s how to prevent a reoccurrence in the same

spot: Blot up urine, then saturate the spot with club soda. Allow it to sit for five minutes, then blot with paper towels.” — S.S. in Arkansas • “In this day of recycling and reusing, before I discard an item, I look to see if any part of it can be reused. I removed wire from a broom that can now be used to hang a picture on the wall. I also remove any reusable screws or nails from items I toss. I put them in plastic jars.”

— B.B. in Maine • Here’s one for hamster owners out there, from C.H. in Utah: “If your dwarf hamster makes much noise when running in its wheel (especially metal wheels), just lube it with a little

olive oil. Just a drop or two will make the wheel turn smoothly and silently, without posing any harm to the little ones in case they lick it.

• “Put battery-operated lights on each wall in the main rooms for when there are power outages.”

— M.W. in Iowa • W.T. from “The Road”

(he’s an RV traveler) is looking for suggestions to remove the smell from the lid of glass jars to make them reusable — say, salsa jars or peanut butter jars.

HOLLYWOOD — Now that the Oscars are over, nominees can get back to work. Best-actor winner Casey Affleck (“Manchester By the Sea”) has “A Ghost Story,” with Rooney Mara (which screened at Sundance Jan. 22). He’s currently shooting “Light of My Life,” which he wrote, directs and stars in, with Anna Pniowsky.

He’s currently shooting with “La La Land” director Damien Chazelle in “First Man,” about Neil Armstrong, the “first man” to walk on the moon.

Andrew Garfield (“Hacksaw Ridge”) has

“Breathe,” with Claire Foy and Hugh Bonneville, and the thriller “Under the Silver Lake,” with Riley Keough (Elvis Presley’s granddaughter) and Topher Grace, in post-production.

Best actress winner Emma Stone (“La La Land”) is slated for “The Battle of the Sexes,” about the tennis competition between Billy Jean King and Bobby Riggs, along with a reboot of “A Hundred and One Dalmatians” and “Love May Fail.”

Along with “Song to Song,” Natalie Portman (“Jackie”) has “Planetarium,” with LilyRose Depp (daughter of Johnny Depp); the sci-fi film “Annihilation,” with Jennifer Jason Leigh, Oscar Isaac and Gina Rodriguez; and the Canadian drama “Death and Life of

Three thousand of his friends, neighbors and anyone he ever met showed up at Barnes & Noble, which was so overwhelmed it ran out of books. Tyler signed every book and talked to everyone he met there. Tyler must have seen that coming, but is too modest a guy to blow his own horn that way.

PICKS OF THE WEEK “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (PG-13) — A band of folks who’ve been kicked around by the evil Empire join up with the Rebel Alliance to secure secret plans revealing the weakness of the new imperial super-weapon.

Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) lost her father (Mads Mikkelsen) when he was kidnapped and forced to engineer the Death Star.

Jyn and crew — including Diego Luna as a brooding Rebel captain, Donnie Yen as a blind mystic and an endearing droid (voiced

by Alan Tudyk) — go on a daring-but-necessary mission that sets up the events of the original “Star Wars” trilogy.

As a one-off story set in the “Star Wars” universe, but adjacent to the main

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat “Sheena” has had horrible bad breath for the past six months, and nothing seems to help. She is almost 14 years old, spayed and in good health. I supplement her diet occasionally with a pill — brewer’s yeast and garlic — crushed up in her food. I also use special dental-care dry foods and dental-care

Felicity Jones in “Rogue One” heroes, this story has a darker-but-still-hopeful tone, and it works. “The Force Awakens” was fun, but felt cramped for following its predecessors too closely. I saw a thrilling and emotional sci-fi epic, a welcome addition to the “Star Wars” canon, and one that doesn’t entirely revolve around Skywalker family dysfunctions threatening the galaxy.

“Office Christmas Party” (R) — When an uptight CEO (Jennifer Aniston) plans to shut down the failing branch treats. I brush her teeth (when she lets me) and massage her gums. I also put parsley in her wet food occasionally. What else can I try? — Deborah W., via email DEAR DEBORAH: From your email it appears that Sheena sees the vet regularly, which is important for senior pets in particular.

While bad breath (halitosis) often is due to dental problems like gingivitis — where bacteria builds up in the mouth around the gums and contributes to a foul odor — other conditions like diabetes, digestive disorders, cancer and even sinus inflammation

Did you know?

Halitosis, or bad breath as it’s commonly known, can result from any number of factors. While food can be a culprit, some additional factors may be contributing to mouth odor as well. Poor dental hygiene is a particular concern.

According to Colgate and the American Dental Association, failure to brush and floss teeth regularly leads to the accumulation of food particles in the mouth. This food can collect bacteria and begin to break down, causing a bad aroma. Dry mouth is another condition that causes bad breath.

Without adequate saliva production, particles of food that may cause odor are not swept away regularly. Bad breath also may be an indication of a medical condition elsewhere in

the body. Upper respiratory infections and gastrointestinal disturbances may contribute to halitosis.

run by her braggadocious brother (T.J. Miller), there’s only one thing to do: throw a party to woo a wealthy client, but not just any party — it must be wild, “buck wild.” That’s the general logic and tone of this film. Jason Bateman and Olivia Munn also are on the party-planning committee, but fail to cut memorable characters from the blank page. SNL’s Kate McKinnon managed to get some laughs out of me as the most uncool H.R. lady ever.

With the ensemble cast, have bad breath as a symptom. So make sure cats with chronic halitosis get a complete exam to rule out other underlying issues.

As for home solutions to simple halitosis: You’re doing all the right things.

However, as Sheena ages, her immune system might make her more vulnerable to gum disease. Keep it up, especially massaging her gums and trying to brush her teeth. Instead of a brush, you could try swiping her teeth with a cotton ball or very soft cloth soaked in warm water, a gentle swipe from the gum line downward.

Additionally, be careful with the amount of brewer’s yeast and garlic you give her daily, because garlic is toxic to cats. Follow the right dosage for her weight.

and T.J. Miller’s ongoing success with “Silicon Valley,” I had some hope for this one. Instead, it seems like directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon figured a solid combination would be to have funny people improvising in between crazy set pieces that keep the energy up.

Solid logic, but it doesn’t really come together.

“The Bounce Back” (PG-13) — Matthew Taylor (Shemar Moore) is a hunky relationship guru pushing his new book about getting over the past and starting anew (just guess what it’s called). While promoting away, gorgeous therapist Nadine (Kristin Peralta) calls him out, refutes his philosophies and the two statuesque beings begin an amiable public feud.

It’s a conventional and cute romcom — attractive people despise each other until they realize they’re in love, a funny friend (Bill Bellamy) gives bad advice and a precocious child or matron (in this case,

Matthew’s teen daughter, played by Nadja Alaya) cupids them along.

“Paterson” (R) — A bus driver (Adam Driver) named Paterson, drives the Paterson bus down Paterson Avenue, central line of Paterson, New Jersey. He has a beautiful supportive wife named Laura (Golshifteh Farahani), a journal full of original poetry, and an English bulldog. Directed

by Jim Jarmusch, the film follows Paterson through his daily routines, observing life and articulating the beauty of it through his poetry. While Paterson’s

days follow a clear track, Laura is driven to constantly explore new things – baking, painting, music.

There isn’t a lot of high drama, but a lot of success showing the everyday in new ways, slowing things down for a while.

Universe Satellite wins Canadian ATV dealer of the year award

by Kara Kinna

Universe Satellite Sales in Rocanville has been named the Arctic Cat Canadian 2017 ATV Dealer of the Year.

The award was presented to Universe Satellite owner Stan Langley at the Arctic Cat dealer show in St. Paul, Minnesota at the end of February.

Langley, who attends the dealer show each year, says he was shocked to find out he was getting the award. All of the Arctic Cat dealers from North America, as well a few dealers from other countries, were in attendance. About 1,500 people were on hand for the awards.

“My rep came and saw me. He said ‘Put up your hand Stan, I need to know where you are,’ and he said ‘sit by the outside edge of the row,’ and I thought ‘Something’s happening,’ ” says Langley.

“And then a little way through the business meeting they announced all their award winners. They announced all the American winners and then the two from Canada. There was one for snowmobiles in Canada and myself for the ATVs. We were the top ATV dealer for Canada.

“When they started naming people off and people were going up on stage I was thinking ‘holy, we must be going to get something.’ And then they called my name.

“I was pretty pumped and it didn’t really settle in until on the way home. I was thinking ‘holy crow there are a lot of ATV dealers in Canada for Arctic Cat and we were picked number one so we must be doing something right.’ I’m still thinking about that.

“But I’ve got good staff and we have good customers. We have a ton of good customers that make things like this happen. Because without them saying good things about me, this probably wouldn’t have happened either.”

Langley says there are a number of reasons why his dealership was chosen for the award.

“It was based on market share and your customer satisfaction information. When they

send out a sheet to a customer that we’ve sold something to, that customer says things about it. The reps also probably have a fair bit to say about it. We have our open houses, we do demo days, we advertise lots, we’ve grown our business from the ground up to be one of the higher selling dealers in Canada.

“I think we’re certainly recognized around the area and it’s something we can use for promoting ourselves a little more,” he says. “If we are the Canadian dealer of the year, we must be doing something right and hopefully we can use this to bring more people into the shop to sell more product as well.”

“They’ve gone away from just giving it to the guy who just sells the most ATVs. I’m in a town of under 1,000 people and we got that award. I guess we did everything right to keep all of our customers happy and we’ve got tons and tons of repeat customers.”

Langley started selling snowmobiles in 1991 and started selling Arctic Cats in 1993—for almost 25 years now.

Langley also gives a lot of credit to his staff for winning the award.

“I’ve got good people working in the back, I’ve got the girls here up front, I’ve got really good staff. I think when people come here and shop, they get an experience as well as buying something. We always have fun. I do a lot of deliveries in the evenings. You sit down with the customer and have a coffee or something with them after you’ve delivered that piece of equipment to them and they are quite happy with the service.

Universe Satellite has grown tremendously over the years and is one of the main dealers for snowmobiles in Southeast Saskatchewan and Southwest Manitoba.

What is the secret to their success?

big part of the community as well.”

Langley says, aside from the odd change to his business here and there, he plans to continue doing what he’s doing.

“I’d sooner do a good job at what we are doing now and continue doing a good job than getting bigger and bigger and bigger,” he says.

“I know there are a few other things coming down the line we will be looking at. Arctic Cat has been bought by Textron and Textron manufactures Easy Go golf carts. That is something we are probably going to expand into—the golf cart business, sales and servicing them. But other than that nothing extraordinary coming down the line, because what we are doing now is obviously working.”

“Small town businesses I think always do extremely well,” says Langley. “There is a lot more customer service when you go to a small town, The staff at Universe Satellite Sales with their award. that’s what I think. And we look after the peoFrom left are Randy Stanhope, Dylan Springer, ple that buy from us. We go, I think, above and Savanah Langley, Ian Langley holding Mason beyond looking after people’s needs out here.

Langley, Garry Birkenshaw, Joe Mitchell, owner Stan And we are part of the community. Everybody Langley, Dawna Kingdon, and Tanis Stanhope. knows everybody that works here, so we are a

“This award also goes by what you have for trained staff. We have our people who are Cat Masters. They have all their training through Arctic Cat for the mechanics, and we’ve got all those people who are qualified to do these jobs, and that was another thing you get points on.”

Universe Satellite has won awards from Arctic Cat before, but nothing this big.

“We’ve gotten Diamond Dealer awards—we’ve gotten a lot of awards since we’ve started,” says Langley.

“There have been district awards. But all the dealers have a chance to become Diamond Dealers and that is based on numbers, whereas there is only one Canadian dealer of the year for 2017. And that’s us.”

Langley says getting the Canadian ATV Dealer of the Year Award means a lot to him.

A 2016 study from researchers at the University of Eastern Finland found that it is possible to slow down and even temporarily stop the progression of global warming by increasing atmospheric aerosol concentration. The study found that, when injected into the stratosphere, aerosol particles were highly efficient in cooling down the climate. That injection can happen naturally when volcanoes erupt and send particles into the stratosphere, where the particles reflect solar radiation back into space, thus cooling down the climate. While this method of climate engineering appears promising, the study’s authors note that restricting greenhouse gas emissions must remain a priority.

If greenhouse gas emissions continue to grow, a larger number of aerosol particles would need to be injected into the stratosphere, resulting in larger relative particle sizes that would not be as effective at cooling the climate.

By Cindy Elavsky Q: I read that Lacey Chabert recently had a baby. How is she doing, and will she be taking a break from acting? — Janet Y., via email A: The “Party of Five” and “Mean Girls” alumn did indeed just become a new mom. She and husband David Nehdar welcomed Julia Mimi Bella in September. However, earlier this year, Lacey was back at work — filming the Hallmark Channel’s “Moonlight in Vermont” — with 4-month-old Julia in tow. I spoke with her recently about the being on set with her daughter.

“This was my first project back as a new mom, and my baby was only 4 months old when we filmed it. We

Lacey Chabert are so attached; she was with me when we were in Vancouver and then on set most days, and it was a whole new experience.

And my work has become even more important to me.

I’m just madly in love with her.”

Regarding the movie, which premieres April 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Hallmark, Lacey could relate to the busy, careerdriven woman that she played: “I’ve been working since I was 7 years old. I am very driven and very ambitious, but especially since having a baby. The baby has really taught me to take a step back, slow down a little bit sometimes, and really just enjoy the moment. It’s great to be ambitious and it’s great to be driven, but I think there needs to be a happy balance. If you’re constantly on the go and don’t ever sit back and enjoy what’s happening, then what’s it all worth?

Q: I am addicted to Tom Hardy’s new series “Taboo.” Please tell me there will be another season. — Nick B., Port St. Lucie, Florida A: Tom Hardy himself has confirmed that there will be an “explosive” new season of “Taboo,” which just completed its run on FX. Season two will pick up with Delaney (played

by Tom) and his ragtag group of criminals as they head over to America. For those of you who haven’t had the chance to watch it, you can stream it for free through your cable provider or you can purchase individual episodes or the entire season to stream from Amazon.

Q: Will there be more episodes of “Making a Murder”? — Mike R., via email A: A Netflix representative has confirmed that series creators Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi are currently in Wisconsin’s Manitowac

Grain Millers investing $100 million locally

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Grain Millers Canada Corp. (GMCC) has announced the initiation of the second phase of a project to add 80,000 metric tonnes of oat product production capacity at its mill in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

The project, totalling $100 million when completed, reinforces the company’s leadership in the sourcing, milling, and delivery of safe, responsible and identity-preserved ingredients to customers in the food and beverage industries.

“We’ve spent the last three or fours discussing, deliberating, debating about when to expand,” said Terry Tyson, Director of Grain Procurement for GMCC, in an interview with Yorkton This Week.

Tyson said the company also has an aging plant un Eugene, OR., its first, that was under consideration for an investment, but in the end Yorkton was seen as a more logical choice.

“We looked at where expansion made the most sense business wise, and it was here,” he said.

Tyson said the local area has a number of advantages, including access to oats.

“We’re right in the sweet spot for oats supply,” he said.

Tyson said typically oats supplies for the Yorkton mill have come from farms within 100 kilometres, and that is likely to continue, even with the expansion.

And more oats will be required. When complete, expected to be in late 2018, the expansion will basically double the plants capacity north of the city from its existing 80,000 tonnes annually.

The plant, which was originally built in 2001, had a start-up capacity of 25,000 to 30,000 tonnes.

“We last did a product capacity expansion in 2013,” said Tyson.

Adding a second mill is a major commitment, said Tyson.

“That was part of taking the time we took. It is a big step,” he said.

The second mill will allow greater versatility within the overall facility, including isolating organic production to a sin-

gle mill flow through.

The new mill will also help the mill with its gluten free lines, said Tyson.

Phase two will include construction of a second mill at the site, said Tyson, adding phase one work has focused on expanding associated capacity needs such as warehousing, and work-in-progress storage.”

Once operational, Tyson said they will be looking at adding about 25 additional staff, bringing the overall employee base to 160.

This expansion is the latest in a series of capacity and capability investments for GMCC and Grain Millers, Inc., GMCC’s parent company. said Steve Eilertson, President of Grain Millers, Inc., “Investments in our people, processes and operational technologies demonstrate our commitment to delivering safe, consistently-good food that helps people live healthier lives. We succeed when our customers succeed. We go out of our way

to make sure we’re in the best position to support them— each and every day,” he said in a release.

“Our government welcomes this large $100 million investment and the 25 new, permanent jobs and the 110 construction and engineering jobs that will be created during the construction phase of this project,” said Premier Brad Wall in the same prepared release. “Our government has worked hard to strengthen the Saskatchewan Advantage and we will continue to ensure we have a competitive environment for projects like this one.”

The company expects the new milling capacity to become operational in late 2018.

Tyson said work is just now wrapping up on phase one, and phase two will launch soon.

“We’re in the very final steps of planning,” he said.

The bulk of product out of the Yorkton

plant, 75-80 per cent, heads to the United States.

The bulk of the remainder is domestic,” said Tyson, adding they do export around the world as well including, the Pacific Rim, Asia, South America, Mexico, and now China.

Tyson said breaking into China with product is a big step, as the market could be significant.

“We’ve found if it’s labelled Canadian it’s desirable, aspirational almost, for people over there,” he said.

Grain Millers, Inc. is a privatelyowned food manufacturer specializing in the sourcing, handling and processing of healthy cereals and grain-based ingredients. Founded in 1985, the company operates four oat mills and various other grain, milling and food facilities across North America. For more information, visit www.grainmillers.com.

Management crisis expected

The single biggest labour challenge for the dairy, poultry and egg commodities will be finding skilled and experienced farm managers, including owner-operators. For these commodities, management and ownership jobs account for almost two-thirds of the current workforce, and between now and 2025, they will account for the majority of the jobs going unfilled due to a lack of domestic workers.

The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC) has completed a three-year study and released the Dairy: Labour Market Forecast to 2025 and Poultry and Egg: Labour Market Forecast to 2025. These studies examine two of Canada’s most significant agricultural industries, which together account for 55,500 jobs, or 15 per cent of the total agricultural workforce.

Through consolidation, automation and other efficiencies, the dairy-cattle industry has shed more than a third of its workers since 2009, employing 39,900 as of 2014. However, despite this reduction in the size of the workforce, an additional 3,400 jobs went unfilled due to a lack of available domestic workers. This labour shortfall cost an estimated $71 million in lost sales.

While the labour demand is expected to continue to decline as a result of a stable market for the industry’s products, the labour supply is also predicted to shrink. As a result, the industry will continue to experience a labour shortage, with manager and owner-operator jobs at the greatest risk of going unfilled. Of the 1,100 jobs forecasted to go unfilled by 2025, 90 per cent will be jobs at the manager and owner-

operator level, which will result in a skills shortage as well as a labour shortage.

For the poultry and egg industry, the research included farm operations engaged in breeding, hatching and raising poultry for meat or egg production, including chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, pheasants, partridges and pigeons. Similar to the dairy industry, a leveling of demand for poultry and egg production and improved industry productivity will limit the demand for labour, while a shrinking supply of domestic labour will widen the industry labour gap. In 2014, 15,600 people were employed in the poultry and egg industry and an additional 250 jobs went unfilled due to a lack of domestic labour. These shortages cost the industry an estimated $6 million in lost sales. By 2025, 15,900 workers will be required, and 1,100 jobs are at risk of going unfilled. As with the dairy-cattle industry, manager and owner-operator jobs will be the most difficult to fill.

Both industries will be significantly impacted by retirement, with nearly one-third of the dairy workforce and nearly onequarter of the poultry and egg workforce expected to retire by 2025. Finding Canadian workers with the right skills and experience is the greatest barrier to recruitment for both industries, despite the fact that they often offer attractive work conditions, including full-time, year-round employment located relatively close to urban centres. Both industries also have voluntary turnover rates that are below the sector average, which means that fewer employees choose to leave their jobs.

tries can find additional sources of labour with the right skills and experience, they will suffer from a critical gap at the managerial and leadership levels that could inhibit their ability to thrive.

To address the labour issues identified in the research, CAHRC has developed agriculturespecific human resource (HR) tools designed to support modern farm operations to manage their workforce. CAHRC offers Agri Skills, online and inperson training programs, and the Agri HR Toolkit – an online resource guide and templates to address the HR needs of any business. For agricultural organizations there are customized labour issues briefings that apply the new research to specific commodities and provinces, to explore the labour implications within their specific area.

Herbicide resistance on the increase

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Herbicide resistance in a growing number of weeds is becoming a problem producers must be aware of.

The first herbicide tolerant weed was discovered in 1975 BASF Technical Marketing Specialist Bryce Geisel told those attending a BASF Knowledge Harvest event held in Yorkton last Thursday.

Since then the number of herbicide tolerant weeds has shown â&#x20AC;&#x153;a pretty strong trajectory going up,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure the line will

keep going up as years go on.â&#x20AC;?

At present the United States is showing the greatest problem with 132 different weeds being identified as being herbicide tolerant to at least one product, said Geisel.

Australia shows the second highest concentration of herbicide tolerant weeds, with Canada third in the world with some 62 identified.

The three Prairie provinces all have herbicide tolerant weeds, said Geisel. In terms of the local Yorkton area he referred to the 2014/15 Agriculture Canada Weed Survey which showed the

most prevalent herbicide tolerant weed is volunteer canola from varieties genetically bred with a tolerance.

Second on the list are wild oats, followed by green foxtail and wild buckwheat, each showing tolerances to certain herbicides in some populations.

Geisel said not all herbicide tolerances are the same.

The simplest resistance has a population of weeds evolving to resist a single active ingredient used in herbicides, he said.

The second level has plants developing cross resistance, or to two active

ingredients, which reduces the options in terms of how to control the weeds.

And then there are weed populations with multiple resistance, an issue being seen â&#x20AC;&#x153;primarily in wild oatsâ&#x20AC;? in Western Canada.

Multiple resistance â&#x20AC;&#x153;really starts limitingâ&#x20AC;? what farmers can use in terms of herbicides for effective control, said Geisel, adding they are seeing that happening more and more in the U.S..

The problems of herbicide tolerance â&#x20AC;&#x153;start when using the same herbicide over, and over, and over again,â&#x20AC;? said Geisel.

While, Geisel noted

â&#x20AC;&#x153;herbicides do not induce herbicide resistanceâ&#x20AC;? when it begins to occur repeated use of the herbicide allows resistance weeds to mature, and set seed, which over time increases resistant populations.

Of course the problem is identifying resistance before it becomes a major issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you see herbicide resistance in a field itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there a number of years. You just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice it,â&#x20AC;? said Geisel.

Geisel said the best prevention is to vary things so resistance populations have a much hard time becoming established.

That means rotating crops which facilitate a more varied herbicide package being used.

In extreme cases resistance weeds could facilitate more drastic changes in farm techniques, including more tillage, or the use of cover crops which add costs and time to managing a field.

How to keep Canada from being Trumped

by Jan Slomp Over the decades since the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and later, NAFTA, was signed, Canadian agriculture has undergone a significant shift. There was once a multitude of diverse local and regional economic drivers, but now we have a “one size fits all” exportdriven, low-priced commodity production model.

Farm capital needs have sky-rocketed as illustrated by the massive $90 billion farm debt. Off-farm investors control more and more of Canada’s farmland.

Production — per farm, per acre and per worker — continues to go up. And that production became increasingly export and transport dependent as NAFTA-driven deregulation accelerated consolidation and transnational ownership of handling and processing facilities. Farmer numbers are ominously declining, yet governments, and most farm commodity groups and agri-business corporations remain euphoric over each signed trade agreement and growing exports.

What is missing in this picture is a few very sobering facts.

The once mighty farmer cooperative handlers and processors have been dismantled and absorbed into a handful of transnational corporations. 80% of Vancouver’s terminal capacity used to be owned and operated by prairie Pools. Now the private trade owns it all.

With the Canadian Wheat Board gone there is no real economic participation by farmers beyond the farm gate, nor any referee to discipline the railroads.

Prairie farmers, who once ran the majority of Canada’s grain industry, no longer have a direct connection to the customers and end-users that pay the real market value for their product.

Under NAFTA, Canada’s regulatory system facilitated North American integration of pork and beef slaughter, processing and marketing at the expense of regional and local processors, marketers and the jobs they provided. Despite trade agreements, Canadian exports are still disadvantaged due to transportation costs Apart from supply management sectors and a brief spike after 2009, overall inflation-adjusted net farm income is dismal.

Farm communities across Canada are suffering from chronic economic decline.

This was camouflaged by off-farm manufacturing jobs in Central Canada and resource sector jobs in Western Canada, but those jobs are no longer easy to get. The decline of Canada’s rural economy is not often discussed, but four decades of loss — of elevators, rail service, machinery dealerships, manufacturing, processing, input suppliers, essential community services and retailing outlets — has steadily diminished the quality of rural life. Government cutbacks to agricultural research facilities, public plant breeding, the PFRA and government extension services have further aggravated prospects. The decline of rural Canada is stark and given little attention compared to the rural quality of life in other developed countries.

Canada’s growing dependence on food imports is another sobering fact. We can grow many of these products, but have lost our own market because trade agreements help integrated food companies operate across borders, depressing prices for producers while

controlling the consumer price. Trade agreements also reward over-processing of foods by substituting basic ingredients with cheaper fats, vegetable oils, soy lecithin, corn starch, fructose and modified milk ingredients, hence North America’s infamous over-consumption of processed foods. If free trade facilitates efficiency, as claimed, why is the spread between prices at the farm gate and the grocery store constantly getting larger?

President Trump vilifies Mexico for the loss of US jobs, but fails to mention the American companies that flocked to the Mexican maquiladoras to take advantage of low labour and environmental standards. NAFTA allowed the US to flood Mexico with its heavily subsidized corn, pork, chicken, beef and dairy, destroying the livelihoods of millions of Mexican farmers. Many subsequently migrated (often illegally) to become super-exploited labour in American fields, factories and meat packing plants.

President Trump will likely find reasons to reject Canadian product

coming across the border, so it is very important that Prime Minister Trudeau is prepared for the worst and applies the utmost diplomacy in dealing with the Trump administration.

It is important to understand that NAFTA was never the golden egg its promoters pretended it to be, and neither are the other free trade agreements signed since. NAFTA has caused a lot of damage to the Canadian rural economy and President Trump is likely going to add more trouble. The last thing rural Canada needs is more give-aways to the US in an attempt to persuade the Americans not to back out of the deal. It is time for our Prime Minister to stop trading away the livelihoods of Canadian farmers and to start repairing the damage these deals have done so our domestic and international markets can function in a way that will make farming profitable again.

makes rural quality of life and viable family farms the priority.

President Trump creates uncertainty

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Donald Trump as president of the United Stated certainly creates some unknowns in terms of trade and its impact on the Canadian economy.

That was the message from John Gormley, guest speaker at an agricultural producer appreciation night held in Yorkton Thursday.

“The man takes unorthodox to levels John Gormley most of us can’t understand,” said the longical elite system, and that time radio talk show host, became a key element and former Member of of his success, offered Parliament.

Gormley. “… He turns every Trump also came with a single assumption on its message about not apolohead.

Gormley said whatever In that regard Gormley one thinks of Trump he is said, “Donald Trump is iconic to the current age. a symbol, a canary in the “Donald Trump is a coal mine.” man who I find fascinatAll the uncertainty may ing,” he said, adding “I have an effect on the econcan’t remember a time in omy of North America. my life when there was not And that is at least cona Donald Trump.” cerning to Canada as this Gormley said for dec- country and the U.S. do $2 ades Trump has made billion per day in trade. headlines, sometimes for “Seventy-five per cent hugely successful business of Canadian exports go to deals, other times for mas- the United States,” said sive business failures, and Gormley, adding U.S. trade others simply for being with Canada is second only flambouyant, but he has to their trade with China. always been in the news.

“Are there challenges? You bet there are challenges,” said Gormley.

Canada and the US have had a trade deal since 1982, with Mexico brought into the North America Free Trade Agreement a few years later.

“Mr. Trump says he wants to tweak NAFTA in regards to Canada,” said Gormley, adding that there is no way of knowing what the US president means with the word tweak.

Trump has also said he wants to see more “drastic” changes to NAFTA in terms of trade with Mexico.

But Gormley suggested a wait-and-see approach.

“My take away message is don’t freak out,” he said, adding much will hinge on what tweaking might mean.

And of course there remains the question whether anyone will risk re-opening the NAFTA deal.

Gormley suggested to do so would be to open “a Pandora’s Box,” because many groups would be lined up to have significant changes made. He pointed to environmental groups as an example, noting their power and vision is quite different today from when NAFTA was inked.

Even without opening NAFTA there are trade issues at play, including tariff and non-tariff barriers that have always been a factor even with a trade deal.

Country of Origin Labelling (COOL) has been one example, but at least with NAFTA there are dispute resolution mechanisms in place, said Gormley.

But NAFTA, or not, Trump is certainly talking greater protectionism,

even referencing Abraham Lincoln’s stand from 1865, noted Gormley.

“I worry about Mr. Trump and what he wants with protectionism,” he said.

That worry is why Canada must be cautious in dealing with Trump.

“Advocacy has never

been more important,” said Gormley noting that the US president has shown signs of being egocentric and that plays into relations with the president.

Gormley did add he feels Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did a good job in his first meeting with the

new president.

“The Prime Minister hit the right notes with his first meeting with Donald Trump,” he said.

But again Gormley suggested caution in any reaction to Trump, and “not to see in the Trump administration shadows, or fears, that don’t exist yet.”

A medical check-up for health of the planet On World Wetlands Day, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is bringing attention to the plight of Canada’s wetlands.

Since settlement in Saskatchewan the province has lost 70 percent of its original wetlands in settled areas of the province. We need to become better stewards of these ecosystems as they face threats from climate change, population growth and development.

Wetlands cover about 13 percent of Canada and these make up approximately one-quarter of all the wetlands left in the world.

Wetlands are special in Saskatchewan for several reasons: • Saskatchewan has more migratory birds nesting in our wetlands than most other provinces in Canada.

• This is largely due to the area of our province called the Missouri Coteau, stretching from South Dakota and diagonally crosses the middle of the province to just past Lucky Lake.

• Saskatchewan has a lot of prairie surrounding our wetlands, which is ideal habitat for migratory birds.

NCC’s conservation scientists, Michael Burak and Cameron Wood, say wetlands matter, and we have a collective obligation to ensure their protection. Wetlands support our economy and well-being.

They protect and filter our drinking water, provide fish and wildlife habitats, buffer communities from property damage by storing floodwaters, and also maintain surface water flow during droughts.

“We see the decline of wetlands affecting species at risk such as the endangered piping plover,” says Burak. In Saskatchewan, the 2006 International Piping Plover Breeding Census counted 440 pairs and 1,464 birds (circumcinctus subspecies) in the prairie regions. In 2016, only 278 pairs and 801 birds were detected.

Remarkably, 20 percent of the world population of piping plover migrates to southern Saskatchewan on an annual basis starting in late April, staying until August.

Piping plover numbers on the prairies have dropped by 40 percent drop since 1996. Other species at risk affected by wetland loss include the yellow rail (special concern), northern leopard frog (special concern), Great Plains toad (special concern), buff-breasted sandpiper (special concern), horned grebe (special concern).

“Conserving wetlands is a big way we can stop that loss,” says Burak.

Our wetlands are disappearing. The global loss of wetlands is staggering.

Since 1900, more than 64 percent of the world’s wetlands have been lost with about 50 percent of this

loss occurring since 1970.

Conservation is a defence against the loss of more wetlands. To date the Nature Conservancy of Canada protected and restored wetlands nationally equivalent in size to the City of Toronto, and more than 16,000 acres (6,475 hectares) in Saskatchewan.

“Wetlands affect the health of surrounding forests, grasslands, and cities,” says Wood. “It is in all of our best interests to protect them.”

Facts: • Saskatchewan has lost 70 percent of its original wetlands in settled areas of the province.

• As part of the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s

150,000 acres of conserved habitat in Saskatchewan, we have protected over 16,000 acres (6,475 hectares) of wetlands in areas with high densities of waterfowl and shorebirds in the province.

• Many species of birds rely on wetlands to feed and raise their young. Many of Canada’s Important Bird Areas (IBAs) occur in wetlands, including IBAs that are significant from a global and continental perspective because they provide critical feeding and nesting habitat for migrating birds.

• Wetlands, particular-

ly peatlands (often called muskeg in Canada), play a major role in global carbon storage. Despite covering only three percent of the Earth’s land surface, peatlands store more carbon than all of the world’s forests combined. It’s been estimated that a Canadian peatlands hold approximately 147 gigatons of carbon; the equivalent of onefifth of all the carbon in the atmosphere today. If this carbon vault was opened and released, there would be major consequences to the world’s carbon budget.

It would also magnify the impacts of climate change across the planet.

Learn More: The Nature Conservancy of Canada is the nation’s leading land conservation organization, working to protect our most important natural areas and the species they sustain. Since 1962 NCC and its partners have helped to protect 2.8 million acres (more than 1.1 million hectares), coast to coast. In Saskatchewan, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) has conserved over 150,000 acres (60,700 hectares) of ecologically significant land through land donations, purchases and conservation agreements.

Seed of the Year West awarded Seed of the Year West is pleased to announce that Strongfield was selected as 2016-17 winner. Strongfield was developed by Dr. John Clarke and the wheat breeding team at AAFC Swift Current. Stongfield was available for the first time as Certified seed for the 2006 season. By 2007 it was the number one durum in acres in western Canada. At its peak (2011) Strongfield held two thirds of all durum acres in western Canada.

The commercial launch of Strongfield came at a critical time when the Canadian market was under pressure from Europe to reduce cadmium concentration in durum exports.

Strongfield was the first commercially successful

durum variety with low cadmium, essentially saving the Canadian durum industry from potential European non-tariff trade barriers related to heavy metals in food products.

“Strongfield has been SeCan’s number one selling durum for the last 10 years, and up until 2016 was still the number one durum in western Canada,” said Todd Hyra Business Manager, Western Canada SeCan. “The fact it has maintained a large acreage for so long, and the fact that newest durum varieties have Strongfield in their parentage demonstrates the impact that the variety has had on the market from breeding programs right to the durum grower. Products like this don’t come around very

often – Strongfield is certainly a very worthy winner of Seed of the Year.”

Seed of the Year is designed to provide recognition seed varieties that have made a significant contribution to the economy, agriculture, and the Canadian public in general. Although the name, Seed of the Year, indicates the contribution in a particular year, the program is much broader reaching and considers total lifetime achievement and contribution. Seed of the Year believes it is important to recognize the value of our plant breeding programs, as well as encourage the entry of new plant breeders to the industry.

This year due to added sponsorships, Seed of the Year West was able to

New canola calculator Two new tools at canolacalculator.ca will help canola growers set seeding rates and plant counts that align with seed size, field conditions, profit targets and risk tolerance.

New seeding rate and plant stand calculators from the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) will help canola growers set an accurate seeding rate that balances the good start canola needs with their profitability goals and appetite for risk.

“The tools at canolacalculator.ca aim to drive a deeper understanding of plant density and seeding rate targets, and will assist growers in making decisions that improve their yield in a profitable, tangible way,” says Ian Epp, agronomy specialist with the CCC. Why build them? Growers often default to seeding rates of 5 lb./ac. or lower, regardless of seed size or field conditions. These tools will help growers as well as agronomists and seed retailers make more refined decisions.

“Growers often recognize a disconnect between what they should be doing and what they end up doing in the time crunch of spring seeding,” Epp says. “These simple and intuitive tools provide a quick and clear indication of how seed survival, seed size and target stands influence the required seeding rate.”

What do they do? With the target density calculator, users position sliding scales to determine the level of risk for various factors that influence plant stand targets. If weed competition is expected

to be very low, for example, the calculator will set a lower target stand. But if spring frost risk is high, the calculator sets a higher target stand to compensate.

The seeding rate calculator has three modes. In seeding rate mode, users input thousand seed weight (TSW), target plant density and estimated seed survival, and the calculator computes the required seeding rate. In plant survival mode, users enter the number of plants per square foot that emerged along with known TSW and seeding rate, and the calculator gives the seed survival rate. In plant density mode, the calculator takes TSW, seeding rate and estimated seed survival to give the number of plants that should emerge.

“The CCC has been recommending plant density of seven to 10 plants per square foot,” Epp says, “but emerging research which can account for equipment change, seed costs, seed size and improved vigour of hybrids indicates that growers may find situations where lower plant densities can still meet their goals.”

Because yield potential is known to drop off with stands of around four plants per square foot, the CCC recommends at least six plants per square foot to provide a buffer against season-long plant loss.

Canada’s canola industry has a goal to reach average yields of 52 bu./ac. by 2025.

The CCC estimates that improvements in seeding and plant establishment alone can contribute three bu./ac. The tools at canolacalculator.ca can help.

Azam Nikzad, a PhD candidate and plant breeder at the University of Alberta and James Tucker a PhD candidate at the University of Manitoba and barley pathology for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada were selected as these year’s scholarship recipients by Dr. John Clarke.

“I am very proud to have the support of the sponsors of this scholarship. Recognition of my research as a winner for Seed of the Year scholarship is very encouraging for me to get closer to my goals.” - Azam Nikzad “I am very honoured to receive this award and am

Grain quality management helps manage risk A challenging growing season, followed by a gruelling harvest. For many prairie farmers, 2016 has been a case study in the risks of crop production and a reminder of just how much is beyond the farmer’s control.

On a cool day in early November, Siegert Wenning was looking forward to getting harvest wrapped up.

“We still have 350 acres of canola in a swath,” says Wenning, who farms 4,500 acres of canola, peas and oats near Yorkton, Sask.

Despite the harvest headaches, he’s taking things in stride. In recent years, Wenning has been fine-tuning his ability to manage the condition of his stored grain. In some ways, this has given him back some of the control and managed some of the risk posed by the year’s punishing farming conditions.

The grain management system he wanted Wenning arrived in Saskatchewan from Holland in 2005. Just seven years later, a windstorm tore through his farmyard and levelled most of it, destroying the farm’s grain bins. Wenning decided to build a new grain management system with the most current technology.

In previous years, he’d learned a lot about grain quality management, the hard way. Grain quality can change so quickly

that monitoring must take place around the clock, without fail.

“You might be planning to go in there with your hand-held, but something comes up and you don’t,” Wenning says. “You could have some cold weather, but there’s snow on the roof and so you’re feeling pretty comfortable about what’s in the bin. You find out later that it heated up and the quality goes down.”

Constant monitoring, hourly reporting Wenning settled on the OPI Blue system that automatically monitors the temperature and moisture of grain in a bin. These values are gathered by means of two vertical cables that run through the bin, with sensors located at 4-ft. intervals. This allows the system to take precise temperature and moisture readings at many different places within the bin.

That’s something you just can’t do when sampling grain from limited access points, and when many parts of the bin are simply out of reach.

For Wenning, the real magic is what happens next. OPI Blue wirelessly delivers hourly data on temperature and moisture for each bin to either desktop or mobile devices, anywhere in the world.

Last winter, Wenning travelled back to Holland for a visit. With a delivery date to his elevator coming

up fast, he was concerned about the condition of the canola in one of his bins. He kept an eye on the bin through OPI Blue on his iPad. Even though Wenning was 4,000 miles from home, he didn’t miss the critical moment when it came.

“I could see the temperature in the bin was starting to take off,” he says.

“I phoned my son on the farm to turn the fans on, and that saved the grain in that bin.”

Return on Investment How does Wenning know he’s making money on his investment in grain quality management?

He considers the math

“That’s a lot of money sitting in that bin. You can buy quite a few OPI systems for that. Look at how much money is in the bin, and compare that to the system cost, it’s peanuts.”

cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. Some strains of cyanobacteria are potentially dangerous and in the right conditions will produce deadly toxins that act on the nervous system and/or liver. There are multiple water treatment products available to Saskatchewan producers to try and mitigate the deleterious effects of poor quality water however, there is limited research surrounding the efficacy of these products.

During the 2016 grazing season, Regional Livestock Specialists in Moose Jaw, Outlook and Watrous conducted a project through the Agriculture Demonstration of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) program to study water quality and the efficacy of four treatment products that are available to producers. Four dugouts in each area were treated with one of the four treatment products and monitored for quality throughout the grazing season.

The four products used in the study were Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pond Conditioner, Pond Boss, Ponder and a product new to Saskatchewan, AquaSpherePRO by Bioverse. During this study, it did not appear that any of the products were effective at improving water quality or removing contaminants from the water. In addition, none were seen to be effective at killing cyanobacteria and preventing its regrowth.

While most surface water sources are frozen solid this time of year, it is a good time to start planning ahead and thinking about water supplies for the 2017 grazing season. Water is the single most important nutrient for livestock, and is the most abundant component in the body. Poor water quality may affect animal performance.

Sometimes the effects will go unnoticed until larger scale herd symptoms can be seen such as conception problems or even animal deaths in extreme cases.

Other less obvious symptoms include decreased milk production, weight gains and immunity that will lead to reduced feed efficiency and increased treatment costs. All of these effects will have a negative impact on the producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottom line.

One common mineral issue in Saskatchewan water sources is sulphates.

Elevated sulphates typically do not present a visual change or produce an odor. High sulphates cause a variety of effects that are often difficult to identify. Typically surface water evaporates as the summer progresses, which results in concentration of the sulphates.

Another common issue in Saskatchewan dugouts is

These products were also more expensive than copper sulfate products that are known to be effective at treating dugouts for cyanobacteria.

In many cases, changing management can help to reduce the impact of poor quality water. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t measure, so testing is the first step in determining water quality. Both surface and ground water

can and often will change quality over time, therefore routine testing is recommended. Feed testing is also recommended so that the complete diet can be examined and to ensure the correct mineral package is being supplemented.

ing Gormley said, many city dwellers will never fully understand.

As a result of farmer efforts from the 1950s through to the 1980s â&#x20AC;&#x153;as well agriculture, we Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Since that time economic sectors such as oil and gas, and mining have certainly gained importance, but the farm sector remains vital.

Gormley said today the provincial economy is diversified along the lines for the three â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;?; food, fuel and fertilizer.

But â&#x20AC;&#x153;farming still punches well above its weight in Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? he said.

In many instances Saskatchewan is a world leader in agriculture

including producing 65 per cent of lentils exported in the world, 54 per cent of peas, 34 per cent of durum, and 32 per cent of flax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The province is so diverse in agriculture we are a critical food producer,â&#x20AC;? said Gormley.

The strength of agriculture has now expanded to other sectors.

Gormley said the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resource base in areas such as potash and uranium are certainly positive for the long term.

In general terms the economy has slowed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a challenging two years,â&#x20AC;? said but Gormley suggested with a now more diversified foundation, the future is still good.

Producers deciding on crop options

By Lyndon Hicks, Regional Crop Specialist, Yorkton The 2017 planting season will soon be upon us.

Producers are making final decisions about the types of crops to be grown this year. Although spraying season is a little further away, this is also a good time to think about the weed control measures that can be used to prevent the build up of herbicide resistant weeds.

For some time now producers have been aware of the potential for weeds to develop resistance to

specific herbicide groups/ modes of action. The first documented cases in western Canada were wild oat and green foxtail that exhibited resistance to Group 1 herbicides. More recently we have seen the development of many more resistant weeds to other herbicide groups such as wild oat, kochia and wild mustard with Group 2 herbicides.

Resistance develops as a result of repeated use of the same herbicide groups over extended periods.

There may only be one plant in the initial population that has resistance.

This plant will increase with repeated use of herbicides of the same group and after several years show up as a small patch of plants that were not controlled by herbicide application. By the time it is visible as a patch in the field, it could be a little as three years before the whole field is infested.

It is important to recognize that, of all the herbicides available, there are only 30 groups or modes of action and only 18 of these are available in Saskatchewan (many are used on crops we don’t grow here). As well, rough-

ly 8 of these modes of action dominate the majority of applications made by Saskatchewan crop producers. Breakthroughs with new modes of action have

There are some organizations that don’t like modern agriculture. I really don’t understand why. My personal hero is Dr. Norman Borlaug who led the green revolution, which lifted millions of people out of poverty and provided food for millions of more who would have otherwise starved.

The green revolution and the many innovations that have followed are the product of science.

Because of this most of us involved in agriculture tend to rely on scientific arguments to counter those who want to shut down modern practices and tools. However, the language of science does not lend itself to telling our story, and agriculture has a fantastic story to tell. We need to adjust our approach.

We can’t dismiss those who want to turn back the clock just because we might not understand them.

Campaigns aimed at eliminating crop protection products like glyphosate, or inputs like fertilizer, are tapping into an emotional appeal that is real and is driving consumers.

Pulling out science to say “you’re wrong” does give some personal satisfaction.

However, the approach does little to counter the activists.

Instead we too need to reach beyond just science and talk to consumers in their day-to-day life. To do this we need to stand up and talk about what agriculture has delivered.

A Monty Python bit asked “what have the Romans ever done for us?” To paraphrase, what has modern farming done for us? Well there is all this food of course. The developed world spends less time and energy putting food on the table than any other group of people in the history of the planet.

Food has never been safer or cheaper.

Activists say we could feed the world without modern agricultural practices. But reverting to the time before Dr. Borlaug would mean less, but more expensive, food, and greater hunger for many that

have abundance today.

Agriculture should stand up and be proud of the food we deliver.

But what about the environment? Isn’t all this food coming at an environ-

Former NHL star respects farmers

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer

sity everywhere,” he said, adding whether in sport, or faming there needs to “be incredible work ethic, incredible passion,” if you are to be successful.

In the case of farming, Coffey said he appreciated a video shown at the event where farmers talked about their family operations.

“They did it for love,” he said, noting they were often following in the footsteps of their fathers, and their father’s fathers. “…

They love the land.”

After the formal presentation Coffey told Yorkton This Week he was trying to absorb as much about farming as he could as he makes four stops on the BASF tour.

“I got here, and listened. I tried to get a feel for farmers,” he said, adding growing up near Toronto farming was not part of his background.

In listening, Coffey said he quickly learned farmers have lots to deal with

There are more similarities between being a successful farmer and a successful hockey player, suggested former National Hockey League star Paul Coffey.

“I have a lot of respect for the farmer,” began Coffey, speaking at a BASF Knowledge Harvest event held in Yorkton last Thursday. “…You feed the city. You feed the country. You feed the world.”

Coffey, who was drafted by Edmonton sixth overall in 1980, and would play in the NHL for 21 years, (1980-2001), playing for nine teams, admitted he did not know a lot about farming, but he does understand that day-to-day farmers face challenges.

“It’s no different than sport, there is adver- Paul Coffey. left signs autograph in Yorkton.ß

in doing what they do.

“There’s lot of stuff they have to go through,” he said.

Coffey said as a hockey player, much like farmers, it is about loving the game and then devoting lots of effort to being as good as they can be.

In Coffey’s case his best was among the bestever among defencemen.

of Saskatchewan is the exception. The snowpack in the southeast is near normal, increasing to well above normal in the very southeast corner. Above normal runoff is expected in the lower Souris River Basin below Rafferty and Alameda Dams, including the Antler River, Gainsborough Creek, and Lightning Creek basins.

This is a preliminary outlook and the snowpack could continue to develop for another 6 to 10 weeks.

Also, it is important to note that a majority of the province was wetter than normal going into freeze-up in November of 2016. Higher than normal precipita-

it came without effort.

“Talent only takes you so far. You have to have a strong work ethic,” he said.

And even with effort, it does not always work out.

“Hockey is a very humbling sport,” he said. “We had a saying in Edmonton, you’re only as good as your last shift.”

Below normal snowpack impacting spring runoff The Water Security Agency (WSA) recently released the 2017 preliminary outlook for spring runoff.

Most of the province received below normal snowfall resulting in a below normal runoff potential across most of Saskatchewan. Many areas saw the snowpack almost completely melt or lost to sublimation in January due to above normal temperatures.

This melting of snowpack would have saturated the soil surface, reducing the infiltration capacity available for the melt of any late season snow.

As many milestones as Coffey has, he said none of

tion going forward and/or a rapid spring melt could significantly increase the runoff potential.

Although the snowpack in most areas is below normal, even a below normal runoff could compound flooding issues in regions with closed basins as many of these areas are at well above normal or record levels following several high runoff years.

The Water Security Agency will be coming out with the 2017 Spring Runoff Forecast in March.

Animal safety on the farm With the final days of winter stretching into the first vestiges of spring, farming season can’t be too close behind. Farm owners and workers across the country are starting to ramp back up to full operating power, dusting off the machines and preparing for the industry’s busier seasons.

This year, as part of National Farm Safety Week, March 14–20, the Canada Safety Council wants to remind farmers to be careful and attentive while out in the fields, especially when it comes to handling livestock.

According to Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting, there have been 65 animal-related fatalities between 2003 and 2012, accounting for 8 per cent of all fatalities.

This is the largest nonmachine-related factor in farm deaths. Of these fatalities, more than half involved horses, stallions and colts, with another 45 per cent involving cows, bulls, steers and calves.

Each animal is different, and has its own distinct personality and attitudes. Being familiar with the animal you’re handling is of paramount importance to reduce the risk. If you have a general sense of how an animal is expected to react, it will make it much easier to detect when something feels wrong or the animal is uncomfortable, anxious, or even aggressive.

Additionally, take care

to always operate efficiently calmly around animals. Many creatures will take their cue from you, the worker. If you’re agitated, nervous or tense, the animal will reciprocate. Being confident and calm will likely elicit these responses in return and make your task much easier.

Horses are by nature inclined to ignore their confines and seek to escape when startled or fighting amongst themselves.

This makes it important to always ensure their enclosures are well kept.

This includes high fences – at least 4.5 or 5 feet – to discourage any jumping attempts, as well as strongly reinforced fence posts that are sturdy and braced to resist any attempts by the horse to push on them.

When attempting to lead a horse, always use a lead rope and halter.

Do not attempt to lead a horse simply by holding the halter, especially not

if the horse in question has a known bad temperament. Remaining to the side of the horse, rather than in front of it, will prevent getting trampled on.

You should also take care not to lead a stallion past mares, as this may result in an agitated reaction that will make the horse much more difficult to lead safely.

Of the 55 per cent of horse-related fatalities, approximately one-third of them were non-workrelated, and often involved horseback riding. When riding, ALWAYS wear a helmet.

Exercise caution when a horse is exhibiting any of the following behaviours: Swishing its tail. This means irritation. Often times, this behavior is exhibited when there are bugs nearby, but the animal could just as easily be irritated with you.

Ears flat against the head. This signals aggression. Ears that are peak-

ed forward indicate that the horse is focused on something ahead of it, while ears that are peaked backward indicate there’s something behind the animal that has piqued its interest. In all cases, exercise caution.

Tense body. If the horse is tense, it’s because it’s on alert and unsure of something. If it’s tense and has its leg cocked, it could be taking aim at something.

Watch out. Alternatively, if its leg is cocked but its muscles are not tense, the animal may just be resting.

When dealing with cattle, it’s important to remember above all that they are herd animals.

This naturally provides a problem for dairy bulls, who are often kept in isolation by necessity and can result in negative behaviour patterns being formed. When it’s possible, limit the time in which the cattle are separated from their herd. Keep the herd nearby if you absolutely have to move the animal.

The most important things to avoid around cattle are loud noises and sudden movements, especially near the rear of the animal. Instinctively, a cow will kick back and to its sides, in an area known as its kick zone, to defend itself. Avoid this by approaching the animal at its shoulder and using a low, confident tone to speak to it or to others.

Be aware of the animals’ positioning. When multiple bulls share a

common area, they establish a hierarchy of sorts.

A bull may bolt unexpectedly to avoid the superior animal. Awareness is the key so you can avoid putting yourself in such a circumstance.

Farm-related fatalities typically start trending upward around April, making it that much more important to be aware of safety issues early and to educate yourself on them often. Happy farming!

Not the lesser of two weevils

Wendy Schatz Leeds, PAG, CCA Lead Agronomist, Sharpes Soil Services This coming summer you might want to dust off the insect sweep net buried in the back of your shop. According to Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food forcast map, Cabbage Seed Pod Weevils are creeping closer to our geography.

Like many of the pests that bug us, the Cabbage Seed Pod weevil was introduced from Europe 70 years ago. It lived happily on the west coast until 1995 when it was discovered in Southern Alberta. I was fortunate/unfortunate enough to be a crop specialist there at the heat of its infestation. Since this time the weevil has been spreading in its geography both in Alberta and Southern Saskatchewan.

Adult weevils are an ash grey color about 3-4 mm long. They have a prominent curved snout indicative to the weevil family. They also have the weevil characteristic of “playing dead” when disturbed. The Cabbage Seed Pod weevil host plants are Brassica species plants that belong to the mustard family Adults overwinter under soil surface and emerge when soil temps reach 15 C. When they emerge, they will seek out flowering Brassica weeds and volunteer canola. Movement to the canola crop occurs in June at bud to early flowering stage. Adults mate and females lay eggs in developing pods.

Larvae develop over 6 weeks and during this time consume 5 to 6 canola

seeds. Mature larvae exit out and pupate in the ground, emerging as new generation adults 14 days later. Majority of the damage occurs from larvae in the seed pod but adults also can blast flowers.

Larvae exiting seed pods leave a hole in the pod. These holes can provide an entry point for fungal infections and make the pod prone to shattering at harvest time.

Your dusty sweep net is the key to determining threshold of the weevil.

Chemical control is recommended when

3-4 adults are collected per one sweep at 10-20% flowering.

This number is an average of 10 sites across the field where 10 - 180 degree sweeps have been counted.

Options for control can be chemical

and cultural – for instance trap cropping around field edges. There is also a small effect from predation from 5 families of Hymenoptera (wasp) species.

Environment can also play a factor in Cabbage Seed Pod weevil survival. Cold winter soil temperatures do not support survival. Survival will decrease from 5 C to -5 C with insect death at -7 C soil temps.

If you have a concern you may have collected a Cabbage Seed Pod Weevil, stop in and we will help you with a solution. Happy Sweeping!!!

Record crop insurance coverage Recently, the Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart announced details of the 2017 Crop Insurance Program. Once again, Saskatchewan producers will have access to the highest coverage in program history as the Crop Insurance Program continues to strengthen and provide effective risk protection for Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers.

“Crop insurance remains the most cost effective tool farmers have to protect their farm business against weather related damage to their crops,” MacAulay said.

“The Government of Canada is working closely with provinces and territories to ensure producers continue to have access to a comprehensive suite of business risk management programs.”

“More than ever, Saskatchewan producers need access to relevant and reliable risk management programming,” Stewart said. “The 2017 Crop Insurance Program provides the coverage and options that producers need to effectively protect their farm while providing the flexibility to be innovative and make the best decisions to be successful.”

On average, Crop Insurance coverage levels are increasing to a record $217 per acre, up from $216 per acre in 2016. The improved coverage is a result of the continuation of strong forecasted crop prices and increased long-term yields. Due to an increase in coverage, the premium per acre is going up slightly to an average of

$8.51 per acre from $7.84 per acre in 2016.

The effectiveness of the Crop Insurance Program for farmers was evident in 2016. A challenging growing season that included many storms and excess moisture across the province stretched into a delayed harvest. Quality downgrading occurred to many crops and approximately 1.3 million acres of crop was unable to be harvested last fall.

While Crop Insurance claims will be finalized into spring, the compensation for producers’ yield and quality losses due to last year’s challenging growing season is estimated to reach $650 million; however, more than $300 million was delivered before the end of 2016.

The Crop Insurance Program includes individualized coverage for each farming operation.

The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) also provides a range of coverage options and program features that allow each farm to personalize their insurance. Producers should visit their local Crop Insurance office before the March 31 deadline to review the coverage options available and to make sure the selections they make are providing the right risk protection for their farm business.

Changes to a Crop Insurance contract or new applications need to be made by March 31, 2017. Producers who prefer to do their business online are encouraged to use CropConnect where reviewing coverage, options and making selections can be conducted from their computer, laptop or mobile

device. Detailed program and contract information is available at any local Crop Insurance office, at www.saskcropinsurance. com or by calling 1-888935-0000.

Crop Insurance is a Business Risk Management program supported through Growing Forward 2.

Under Crop Insurance, premiums for most programs are shared 40 per cent by participating producers, 36 per cent by the Government of Canada and 24 per cent by the Government of Saskatchewan.

Administrative expenses are fully funded by governments, 60 per cent by Canada and 40 per cent

by Saskatchewan.

Pulse sector sees bright future Recently, the Advisory Council on Economic Growth released its second wave of recommendations to the Government of Canada. Canada’s ag food sector ranks high with the potential for substantial growth and export improvement. In setting the tone for unleashing the growth potential for the ag sector, the Council offers a bold vision that Canada will become the trusted global leader in safe, nutritious and sustainable food for the 21st century.

To achieve the vision, the Council recommends a more integrated, collaborative approach to sector growth and one where the private sector is engaged to lead strategy development. “The Canadian pulse industry welcomes the opportunity to work with government to define the action plan, lead ag

food pilots and revamp the approach to value chain roundtables to establish both top down and bottom up category targets, says Lee Moats, Chair of Pulse Canada. “And the approach we take has to go beyond addressing obstacles. The approach must also focus on opportunities that will foster growth through innovation. The opportunity for Canadians is to fulfil the urgent need for an integrated agenda that connects food to health and sustainability along with economic prosperity,” says Moats.

The Canadian pulse industry is an advocate of a multi-disciplinary, multistakeholder approach in order to take full advantage of future food opportunities where measures of diet quality will include social indicators

like health outcomes, environmental indicators like greenhouse gas emissions and economic indicators such as affordability. “The next generation brand will deliver on a range of societal values and economic returns.

Consumers and the food industry are looking for food and ingredients that are healthy, sustainable and affordable. That’s not a fad – for a growth segment of the market that’s an expectation that the ag food industry can meet.

And meeting that expectation creates new business,” says Gordon Bacon, CEO of Pulse Canada.

“When we successfully reach the goals set out in the report we will have done so because we are viewed as the trusted global leader in safe, nutritious, sustainable and affordable food

and ingredients. The pulse industry vision is aligned with the vision laid out in the Council’s report. We encourage the Government of Canada to begin working with industry immediately to develop and implement the growth strategy,” says Moats.

Pulse Canada is the national association representing growers, traders and processors of Canadian pulse crops (peas, beans, lentils and

chickpeas).

Pulse Canada Pulse Canada is the national industry association that represents growers, processors and traders of pulse crops in Canada.

Aaron Hershmiller, manager of East Central Regional Services for the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency talks water.

WSA cautions landowners on drainage

By Thom Barker Staff Writer As Saskatchewan moves toward spring, attendees of an R.M. of Orkney ratepayers meeting March 1 received an overview of the provincial Agriculture Water Management Strategy.

Aaron Hershmiller, manager of East Central Regional Services for the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA) outlined the plan starting with the basic premise that all drainage must be controlled to mitigate downstream impacts.

Hershmiller stressed the fact that all drainage works—ditches, culverts, pumping tile etc.— must be approved. And that includes pre-1981 works. There is no grandfathering, he said, because regardless of age a poorly designed drainage work can cause negative downstream impacts to water quantity, water quality and habitat.

“Drainage is not a right, it is a privilege,” he said.

Turning to particular local concerns,

Hershmiller advised that the approval process requires land control to the “point of adequate outlet.” That means landowners must work together on easements, joint applications and landowner-tolandowner agreements.

To facilitate this six watershed associations in the East Central Region, including the Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association here in Yorkton, have Qualified Persons (QPs) to provide direct assistance to landowners.

Residents shared concerns about the City of Yorkton discharging flood waters into the R.M., but Hershmiller said the City generally does not discharge to the R.M. because it has its own collection areas for flood water. If it does, however, it works with the WSA to drain

the water to a point of adequate outlet.

Alternative land use program working

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A new program provides area farmers with a different option to garner annual value from marginal wetland areas.

Alternative Land Use Services (ALUS) is a community-developed, farmer-delivered program that provides support to farmers and ranchers to enhance and maintain nature’s benefits.

The ALUS vision has a simple, yet revolutionary goal … create a healthy landscape that sustains agriculture, wildlife and natural spaces for all Canadians.

Locally, through ALUS, the Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association (AWSA), has been involved with the ALUS Saskatchewan Assiniboine Project (ASAP), explained Jesse Neilsen manager of AWSA.

“The strength of the program sort of lies in the simplicity of it,” he told the AWSA annual general meeting held in Yorkton Friday.

ALUS Saskatchewan Assiniboine Project (ASAP) aims to provide agricultural producers an incentive to see tame forages around their pothole wetlands as an alternative to struggling to continue to crop those areas through the use of drainage and cultivation. In doing this, producers are contributing to the conservation of those wetland ecosystems and are providing a means of achieving long-term carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas reduction across the agricultural landscape.

“It’s an alternative to trying to crop that land,” said Neilsen.

Through ASAP producers can receive funding of $42.50 per acre to seed

fringe acres to grassland.

An annual payment per acre for the seeded acres, and some adjacent protected wetlands, are then eligible for annual per acre payments.

Neilsen said in general the acres funded are small areas of fields that are generally best left natural rather than battling to crop it.

“We’re not looking to convert whole quarters of land,” he said, adding it is an alternative for smaller parcels within a field.

In 2016, the first year for ASAP, 281.43 acres of habitat were ASAP enhanced and conserved on 11 quarters of land in the watershed, involving seven different producers.

Neilsen said they hope to more than double those acres in 2017.

“We’re looking for about 350 acres this year,” he said.

Canola a true Canadian success story Canola is a uniquely Canadian success story and a key agricultural market that contributes $19.3 billion to the national economy each year.

With its culinary properties and benefits for human health, the global demand for the crop continues to grow. Canola is the world’s only “Made in Canada” crop. Developed in the 1970s by researchers from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the University of Manitoba, canola was bred to reduce the levels of erucic acid previously found in rapeseed varieties.

Due to canola’s profitability and resilience, the crop’s acres are on the rise. In Canada, acreage has grown by more than 50 percent in the past decade. This growth has led to a significant presence of canola throughout Western Canada.

With a growing global demand for canola, crop rotations are tightening and disease pressures are increasing. Growers know that under these conditions, protecting crops from weeds, volunteer species and diseases are key to a successful crop.

Non-GMO canola allows growers to increase profitability and address rotational concerns by providing flexibility and choice. Developed using traditional breeding methods, Clearfield canola is a non-GMO, herbicide-tolerant system that works with Ares herbicide to control grassy weeds, volunteer canola and flushing weeds, including cleavers, wild buckwheat and lamb’squarters. As a part of the Clearfield system, Ares is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed through roots and leaves, moving quickly throughout the plant to stop weed growth.

Beyond moving throughout a weed to provide effective herbicide action, Ares provides two modes of action for consistent and reliable postemergent flushing weed control, including subsequent flushes. In fact, the Clearfield system is the only production system that offers control of flushing weeds in one pass.

With multiple modes of effective action, the system also provides resistance management by creating less reliance on a straightglyphosate system.

Andy Keen is a grower from Manitou, Manitoba, who uses Ares on his Clearfield Canola.

“Clearfield is the most profitable canola system for us, hands down. A few years ago we had a field where I knew we had some big weed pressure on, particularly with buckwheat.

I’m very happy with how Ares absolutely smoked my buckwheat,” he said. “I was also a little concerned for the grasses, but we had very good control and they were annihilated. It’s also great that Ares is easy to handle.”

In addition to providing weed control and resistance management, the Clearfield system helps growers maximize their

savings. As Clearfield is developed without the use of genetic engineering, Clearfield varieties are considered non-GMO, and growers can earn substantial premiums with the Clearfield system.

Clearfield Canola yields are comparable to the yields of other herbicide-tolerant varieties.

Clearfield also provides disease and weed control, and has strong vigour and standability. These traits make harvest efficient, and optimize both yield and profit potential.

Chad Koscielny is a canola breeder at DuPont Pioneer in Carman, Manitoba. He is responsible for developing new canola hybrids, and screening and testing canola. He notes that DuPont Pioneer

has a long history of breeding Clearfield Canola.

“Right now we’re working to include new traits, including an increase in shatter resistance, club root and Sclerotinia resistance,” he said. “Further down the line, we’re looking to include cold and frost tolerance. But overall, Clearfield Canola is a mid-maturing, high-yielding product that offers growers a great choice in the marketplace.”

The Clearfield herbicide-tolerant system protects canola crops and increases yield potential, while also offering growers opportunities to earn substantial returns.

Straight cutting canola an option

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Straight cutting canola for harvest is an option, and it has become a better option because of technological advancements.

That was at the heart of a presentation by Watrous area producer David Vanthuyne at a BASF Knowledge Harvest event held in Yorkton last Thursday.

“I’ve been straight cutting canola on my farm for over 20-years,” he told a packed National Bank Convention Place room at the Gallagher Centre.

While straight cutting does not work on every acre on Vanthuyne’s fourth generation farm, and is not without its challenges, it is now what he termed “a valuable tool”

in managing harvest.

“We target half to two-thirds of our (canola) acres to straight combine” he said, adding they typically plant 2000-3000 acres, so 1000-2000 acres would be straight cut.

The biggest reason for turning to additional straight cutting has been manpower.

Vanthuyne said he operates three combines in the fall, then has a man to run the grain cart and another for the grain bagger, making a crew of five. He said if he was to swath every acre he would “need nine guys,” and finding good harvest help is a challenge.

So “straight cutting canola has been a very good fit for us,” he said.

Vanthuyne noted that the decision to straight cut has been made easier since he started two decades ago.

New varieties which are bred specifically to be straight cut (pod tolerant types which resist shattering), and better combine headers have both enhanced straight cutting potential, he said.

But even with the new technology Vanthuyne said to straight cut canola does require planning, and that planning starts at planting.

“When you start in spring make sure you get the right plant density,” he said, noting having enough plants helps plants handle straight cutting better in the fall.

“The crop stands tighter.”

And come fall, straight cutting requires time management.

“When you straight cut, when it’s ready to go you have to go,” said Vanthuyne.

Agriculture benefits from lower dollar Canadian agriculture benefited from a relatively low dollar throughout 2016 and this trend is expected to continue into 2017, according to J.P. Gervais, Farm Credit Canada’s chief agricultural economist.

“There are certainly other factors that could influence Canadian agriculture, such as the global economy, the investment landscape, commodity and energy prices,” said Gervais, speaking to his top five agriculture economic trends to watch in 2017. “The Canadian dollar, however, has been a major driver for profitability in the last couple of years and could have the biggest influence on the overall success of Canada’s agriculture industry in 2017.”Gervais is forecasting the dollar will hover around the 75-cent mark and will remain below its five-year average value relative to the U.S. dollar in 2017, potentially making the loonie the most significant economic driver to watch in Canadian agriculture this year.

The low dollar not only makes Canada more competitive in agricultural markets relative to some of the world’s largest exporters, but it also means higher farm cash receipts for producers whose commodities are priced in U.S. dollars.

Producers A low Canadian dollar will keep the demand for Canadian agricultural commodities healthy, which is especially important considering the higher projected supply of livestock and crops. This means potential revenue growth, especially considering a likely rebound in livestock prices off the weakness observed in the second half of 2016.

“A lower Canadian dollar makes farm inputs more expensive, but the net impact in terms of our export competitiveness and cash receipts for producers is certainly positive,” Gervais said. “Given the choice, producers are better off with a low-dollar than one that’s relatively strong compared to the U.S. dollar.”

Food processors Food processors are also better off with a low Canadian dollar, which is partly the reason behind the strong growth in the gross domestic product of the sector over the past few years. Canadian food products are less expensive for

foreign buyers, while it is more difficult for foreign food processors to compete in the Canadian market, according to Gervais.

“The climate for investment in Canadian food processing is good, given

the low dollar and growing demand in the U.S.,” Gervais said.

He projects that exports of food manufactured products to the US could climb 5 per cent in 2017.

Agribusinesses A lower-than-average U.S. per Canadian dollar exchange rate supports foreign sales of agribusinesses as more than 90 per cent of all exports are made to the U.S., and

compensate for a weaker demand due to the recent downturn in the U.S. farm economy.

“The dollar’s impact on agribusinesses is complex and not as consistent as it is on producers and food

processors,” said Gervais, noting that strong farm cash receipts due to a weak loonie are generally good news for agribusinesses, since they can expect sales to producers to increase with rising revenues.

CCC agronomy team priorities for 2017

By Warren Ward The Canola Council of Canada’s team of 11 agronomists spends a lot of time in fields and talking to farmers and agronomists.

They know which issues are most important to canola profitability and overall farm sustainability, and each year try to identify key issues that are new and important or old but need reinforcement. Here are our priority messages for 2017.

Match varieties to fields. Look at traits that would benefit each field, such as herbicide resistance to suit the weed mix, disease resistance, lodging resistance for high-nutrient situations, and pod shatter tolerance or shorter maturity to suit harvest plans.

Think economics.

Consider all associated costs to calculate potential return on investment with agronomic practices.

Business management and crop production choices can’t be viewed in isolation.

Tech must pay. When spending money on technology, have an idea how old technology is lacking and whether new technology will improve profitability and provide a solid return on investment.

Set plant density targets. Consider individual field conditions and one’s appetite for risk when setting a plant count target for canola. In general, a minimum of six plants per square foot is a pretty safe way for most growers in most situations to balance risk and profitability.

Don’t forget phosphorus. Phosphorus applications are still below removal rate for many canola growers. With soil sampling and a balanced fertility program, growers can target rates that reflect canola’s yield potential.

Control volunteer canola. This “weed” reduces the benefits of crop rotation by allowing canola pests to thrive in noncanola years. It helps to tank mix herbicides with glyphosate, target early effective in-crop control, create stale seed-bed conditions in the fall, grow competitive crops with good herbicide options and rotate canola herbicide packages.

Never “throw one in”.

Consider tank mixes carefully. Applications made below economic thresholds for insects, diseases and weeds waste money, increase selection pressure for resistance, increase the ecological footprint and devastate populations of benefi-

cial insects and natural enemies.

Monitor disease levels… even in healthylooking fields. Look for clubroot galls and signs of verticillium stripe. Before swathing, clip stems to check for blackleg. Use results to prepare disease management strategies.

Look for new insects.

Cabbage seedpod weevil continues to spread in Saskatchewan and northward in Alberta.

Swede midge remains an unknown for Western Canada. Keep a look out for these and other

pests. Look for management advice and consider thresholds before spraying anything new or familiar.

2016 new crop mission: A Farmer’s Story

By Kevin Bender, Producer from Bentley, Alberta This January I went on a much-anticipated trip to Maui with my wife. Twenty years ago, we committed to spending the rest of our lives together and thought this was a good way to celebrate such a milestone (sans children, of course!). One month prior to this celebration,

AWC warning The Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC) warns the Federal Government that eliminating deferred cash purchase tickets for grain sales as outlined in the federal budget released last Wednesday would severely hurt farmers’ income.

This important cash flow management tool allows farmers to defer income on grain sales to balance income throughout the year, avoiding excess swings in taxation levels and encouraging farmers to deliver grain into good market opportunities.

“Many farms use this tool to avoid having to choose between losing a sale that might bump them into a higher tax bracket that year, or lose the ability to maximize their revenue due to severe taxation swings,” said Kevin Auch, AWC Chair.

Losing this tool would cause a ripple effect throughout the agri-food value chain since the lack of cash flow management could result in farmers’ inability to make business purchases year round. Canada’s agriculture industry’s competitiveness would also be affected: If farmers are not able to deliver grain when market opportunities arise because of tax swings, Canada will miss out on sales to international competitors due to a lack of available inventory.

“For many farmers, eliminating this tool also eliminates the option to sell grain when there is a good price for it. Grain would end up sitting in storage on-farm rather than being sold into the marketplace. This disruption in cash flow is not only a loss to farmers but to the entire value chain.”

The 2017 federal budget outlines that a stakeholder consultation is in the works with submissions due on May 24, 2017. AWC will be developing a submission and encourages farmers to reach out to us with their input. Farmers can send their input to Erin Gowriluk, Policy and Government Relations Manager at egowriluk@ albertawheat.com.

I was over the Indian Ocean heading to Asia as part of a small group from Western Canada, all with the same goal of promoting Canadian wheat to those who buy it from us.

In the very early morning hours of December 3, 2016, I headed for the Red Deer Municipal Airport for the first of many legs of a trip around the world. Upon arriving in Vancouver, I met up with the rest of our “Team Canada” — half of them for the first time, as a member of one of four new crop mission teams travelling to customer countries that have been, and continue to be, significant purchasers and users of Canadian wheat.

The teams consisted of a representative of Cereals Canada, an exporter/handler, a producer, and technical experts

from the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) and Canadian International Grains Institute (Cigi).

Each of us had distinct and important roles to play in the seminars we gave in each of the markets we visited. Our team began in Manila, Philippines then continued to Jakarta, Indonesia; Dubai, United Arab Emirates and finally completed our mission in Lagos, Nigeria. The other teams that went out, beginning in the middle of November, covered markets in Central and South America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa.

The seminars delivered a consistent message around the world. They were made up of several presentations — the producer presentation opened each seminar, followed by Cereals Canada and the exporter who pre-

sented on the growing season and Canadian supply and disposition, and then Cigi and CGC representatives providing data on the technical and processing qualities of the 2016 crop.

On our mission, I was of course the producer.

I realized why it was so important for a producer to be on the missions when I saw how intently focused the attendees were when I showed them pictures of my family, my farm, some of the machinery we use, a GPS map from my combine and SNOW! (I always got a reaction when I presented a slide of the forecast at home showing daytime highs around -24°C.) They were quite interested to see an aeration fan and floor and hear about how below zero temperatures can be effective in preserving and maintaining wheat quality. They heard how

crop rotations benefit both soil and wheat quality along with minimizing levels of pathogens such as DON and ergot. They saw a picture of my soil probe and heard about soil tests that guide us in applying only the right nutrients and the right amount of nutrients to grow an optimal and high- quality wheat crop. They heard about reduced tillage and direct seeding that has resulted in significantly less soil erosion from both water and wind along with increased soil organic matter. Then they asked an array of questions such as, “What is the capacity of a 13” auger, what percentage of my crops are wheat, how do I decide which variety to plant and do I bin different varieties of the same class of wheat separately and sell them as such?”

Meeting a producer,

and seeing and hearing how the wheat they are buying is grown, stored and delivered are essential parts of our customers’ need for information in a competitive global marketplace — one where consumers are increasingly demanding more information about where their food comes from. Our competitors are active in these markets too and we need to maintain and grow our presence. Fostering relationships with our customers is paramount to our continued business with them. As I reflect, twenty years of marriage did not happen by doing nothing.

It took effort. It took work.

Fruitful rewards require investment. I’ve got a good thing going with my bride. Canada’s got a good thing going with wheat. My intent is to keep them both that way. Aloha!

of our sustainability record.

What does sustainability mean to you?

To me, it means growing food in a way that gives a good living to farmers and leaves the land and water in better shape for those who will be farming after us.

Canadian farmers are doing just that.

Did you know that in the last twenty years the amount of fuel used to produce a tonne of wheat has gone down by thirtynine percent? At the same time, farmers are producing more grain from every acre of land. This is an incredible story, especially in a time when governments around the world are searching for policies and programs to reduce energy use. Every year Canadian farmers are increasing soil organic matter. Why does this matter?

Because every bit of that increase in soil organic matter is sequestered carbon.

Farmers are locking away carbon while improving soil health. They do this without any government regulations forcing them to action. How many sectors of the economy can say this? Modern agriculture is also reducing soil erosion. Google â&#x20AC;&#x153;1930s dust stormsâ&#x20AC;? to get a picture of the environmental impact of farming the old way. Saskatchewan does not blow into Ontario anymore and we have modern agriculture to thank. This is a good news

story that we should be shouting from the rooftops. Who should be telling this story? Our best spokespeople are farmers themselves. Producers are trusted by consumers. The public wants to know why farmers do what they do. And the interest is genuine. Why do you treat your seeds to protect your crop against insect infestations? What would it mean to the sustainability of your farm if these pesticides werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used? How has glyphosate facilitated conservation tillage? What does this mean to the health of your soils and the water around you? Why do you test the fertility of your land and how does this contribute to more efficient nutrient use? Reaching out to our customers and consumers and telling your good news story should now be part of every farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business plan. If you (and we) are not telling our great story, there are others who will speak for agriculture. And they may not like what you do. Some want to take away modern farming tools. By proudly standing up and speaking up we will not only preserve the gains of the past but help drive forward to a more sustainable and profitable future. Social media gives farmers an outlet to tell their story, an outlet that did not exist just a few years ago.

This should become a tool as familiar on the farm as a tractor.

PRODUCERS Continued from Page A21 through preventative practices.

There are a number of practices that can be used to prevent the development of resistant populations.

For example; increasing crop diversity by rotating 3 or more types of crops (such as: cereals, oilseeds and pulses) will reduce the risk of developing herbicide resistance over less

diversified rotations.

As well, tank mixes of different groups for control of the same weeds can reduce herbicide resistance risks.

While rotation through various modes of action or groups of herbicides has been promoted as a way to slow resistance from developing, recent research has found that resistance evolution will continue under rotation

strategies, just at a much slower pace.

If you suspect that you have some patches that are resistant you should ensure that you prevent those plants from setting seed by either herbicide or mechanical means.

For more information on management of herbicide resistance, contact your local Saskatchewan Agriculture regional office.

• It was the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who made the following sage observation: “Government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob.”

• You might be surprised to learn that Helen Keller, best known as the first blind and deaf person to earn a bachelor’s degree, loved performing.

She spent years on vaudeville tours, and in 1919 she starred in “Deliverance,” a silent film about her life.

• In the Canadian town of Churchill, Manitoba, most people don’t lock

West Coast spring. I picked the “California gold” and put a few lemons with leaves in a pretty bowl for a table centerpiece, squeezed one in hot water with grated ginger for a morning wake-up, and by evening, doused another

their car doors. The primary motivation for this practice isn’t trust (although, of course, trust is required), but public safety: A pedestrian who unexpectedly encounters a polar bear will be able to find refuge in any car along the street.

• With warmer weather approaching, you might want to consider heading to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, to witness an annual rite of spring. Students at Lake Superior State University gather on (or near) the first day of spring for the annual Snowman Burning.

Started in 1971 by a campus club known as the

Unicorn Hunters, the tradition involves setting alight a 12-foot-tall “snowman” — usually built of recycled paper, wood and wire — to celebrate the end of winter.

• If you haven’t listened to any new music in a while, chances are you’re over 33. Those who study such things say that’s the age at which Americans would rather stick to what they know than try out new tunes.

• If winter seems to be dragging on endlessly, be glad you don’t live on Uranus; there, winter lasts 21 years.

Thought for the Day: “I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.” — Dame Rebecca West

Improve alertness A long workday can be both mentally and physically draining. As a result, office workers and professionals whose jobs are more physically demanding than office work may find themselves less alert at the end of the workday than at the beginning.

A loss of alertness as the workday draws to a close might be unavoidable. But professionals whose sense of alertness begins to dwindle in the thick of the workday might need to take steps to improve their alertness to protect themselves from injury and to ensure the quality of their work does not suffer.

• Avoid caffeine in the late afternoon. Some professionals rely on caffeinated beverages such as coffee or energy drinks to combat afternoon drowsiness. While that afternoon caffeine fix might provide an immediate, if temporary, jolt of energy, it might also affect a person’s energy levels the following day. A 2013 study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that caffeine consumed as early as six hours before bedtime can significantly disrupt sleep.

Professionals who reach for a cup of coffee in the late afternoon might get a sudden boost of energy, but their energy levels the following day might be lower due to a poor night’s sleep.

• Avoid high-fat foods at lunchtime. Foods that are high in fat should always be avoided thanks

to their connection to a host of health problems.

Such foods also negatively affect energy levels when consumed in the middle of the day.

The University of Rochester Medical Center notes that the body digests and absorbs high-fat foods very slowly. That means workers who eat high-fat foods for lunch won’t get the afternoon energy boost that low-fat, healthy lunches will provide.

• Snack healthy.

Professionals who find themselves needing a snack in the mid- to lateafternoon can sate their hunger and give themselves an energy boost by snacking healthy.

Avoid snacks like potato chips that tend to be high in fat and low in nutrition. Foods that are high in fiber and/or protein can provide a longer energy boost and quell the afternoon hunger pangs at the same time. Fresh fruit and Greek yogurt fit the bill.

• Change your workout schedule. Regular exercise improves short- and longterm health while also increasing daily energy levels. Professionals who include exercise in their daily routines yet still suffer from a lack of alertness in the afternoon may need to alter their workout schedules. A 2011 study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found that participants who were assigned afternoon exercise programs during work hours report-

ed increased productivity versus those who were not assigned afternoon workouts. If working out in the afternoon is not feasible, avoid working out too late at night, as the National Institutes of Health note that exercising within two to three hours of bedtime can disrupt sleep, ultimately having a negative impact on energy levels the following day.

Professionals who find their alertness levels waning in the afternoons can combat such drowsiness in various ways.

spread out the easy-to-mix crust layer on the baking dish while another zests and squeezes the lemons, you’ll be on the home stretch to pop it in the oven.

Bake, cool and bring in the kids to sift the powdered sugar on top before you slice it into squares.

Sloshing through snow at Minnesota’s Twin Cities airport, I eagerly anticipated a spring break from a Midwest winter super chill — a real R&R at our cabin in the coastal California redwoods.

Upon arrival, I discovered a mini crop of bright, ready-to-pick Meyer lemons growing on our deck, a reminder of why I love a

on fresh fish I picked up at the wharf for supper.

What was next?

Lemonade? It wasn’t summer yet. How about keeping it simple and making a favorite dessert from my childhood, I thought: Lemon bars. To update the taste of the traditional recipe, I added lots of lemon zest to the batter for extra kick.

Lemon bars are a classic and a perfect little “sweet” to serve for a snack or dessert to remind us of sunny springtime. It’s an ideal recipe for involving kids in the prep, too.

Put a healthy spin on an old family favorite Meatloaf is a dinnertime staple for many families. A favorite of adults and children alike, meatloaf can be prepared however cooks see fit, making it a versatile dish for family dinners. Parents who want to enjoy meatloaf with their families and do so while promoting healthy diets can try the following recipe for “Turkey, Vegetable & Oat Mini-Meatloaves with Marinara Sauce” from Michelle Dudash’s “Clean Eating For Busy Families” (Fair Winds).

Turkey, Vegetable & Oat Mini-Meatloaves with Marinara Sauce Serves 6 Auctions

• E x p e l l e r- p r e s s e d canola oil spray •1 8-ounce package crimini (baby bella) mushrooms (about 2-1⁄2 cups) •1 small yellow onion, cut into eighths •4 cloves garlic, minced •1 tablespoon extravirgin oil •1 cup dry rolled oats •2 large eggs •1 pound lean ground turkey (or beef or bison) •1-3⁄4 cups pasta sauce, divided •3 tablespoons red wine vinegar •1 tablespoon Italian herb seasoning •1⁄2 teaspoon salt •1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Preheat oven to 375 F.

Place a large frying pan over medium heat and add oil. When oil is shimmering, add vegetables and sauté for 7 minutes or until water releases and evaporates completely, lowering the heat as necessary. Set aside.

Process the oats until they are of a fine consistency. Whisk the eggs in the bowl used for the vegetables. Add processed oats, turkey, 3⁄4 cup of pasta Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan or 6 mini loaf pans with spray. Pulse mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped and add them to a large bowl. Repeat with onion and garlic.

sauce, cooked vegetables, vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and stir together with a fork until blended.

Scoop the mixture into 6 mounds on the pan or into each mini-loaf pan, about 3⁄4 cup each. Shape each mound into a 4x2-inch loaf.

Spread remaining 1 cup of pasta sauce on top of the loaves, distributing evenly.

Bake on middle rack for 25 minutes, turning pan mid-

way through cooking, until loaves are firm or a thermometer inserted in the middle reads at least 165 F. Allow loaves to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes: You can finely chop vegetables with a knife rather than using a food processor if you prefer. W

Whole oats can be added to the meat mixture for a more rustic texture.

Isolation a concern for seniors Feelings of loneliness and isolation are common among the senior population.

This is due, in part, to the large percentage of seniors who end up living alone later in life. U.S. Census Bureau information from 2010 indicated around 28 percent of people ages 65 and older lived alone at the time the data was collected.

As people get older, their likelihood of living alone only increases, as many have fewer family members or friends around to provide company and care. Despite the large numbers of Baby Boomers living throughout North America, senior isolation is still a concern. According to the senior housing resource A Place for Mom, the following situations can result from

senior isolation.

• Studies from the National Center on Elder Abuse show a connection between social isolation and higher rates of elder abuse.

• Feelings of loneliness can be linked to poor cognitive performance.

• Loneliness is associated with more depressive symptoms among seniors.

• A 2010 study published in Psychology and Aging indicated a direct relationship between loneliness in older adults and increases in systolic blood pressure over a four-year period.

Visiting with seniors and promoting social connections can help them avoid feelings of isolation.
