Sask Party gets massive majority again

By Thom Barker Staff Writer As polling stations opened Monday morning, the eventual result of the Saskatchewan election was never really in doubt. All indications were the Saskatchewan Party would form a majority government; the only question was how big the win would be.

The answer ended up being about as big as it gets. With 61 seats up for grabs, three more than in 2011, the Saskatchewan Party gained two for a total of 51 and the NDP grabbed one more to finish with 10.

The biggest news of the night, perhaps, was Cam Broten, leader of the NDP, losing his own seat in Saskatoon Westview.

That race was a nail-biter all night long, but in the

end the Sask Party’s David Buckingham edged Broten out by just 232 votes.

Unlike Broten, Brad Wall, whose personal popularity may be greater even than that of his party, had a cakewalk in his riding of Swift Current where he crushed the NDP Green and Liberal challengers with 82 per cent of the vote.

None of the other four leaders of the six total registered parties were ever even in contention in their local races. Darrin Lamoureux (Liberal), Richard Swenson (Progressive Conservative) and Victor Lau (Green) were all distant thirds with only 958, 686 and 387 votes respectively. Western Independence Party leader David Sawkiw was last in Canora-Pelly, one of the only constituencies with a full slate of six candidates.

He picked up just 51 votes.

In Yorkton, Sask Party incumbent Greg Ottenbreit was never in doubt as poll after poll reported with big margins on the way to a 4,707 to 1,454 win over the NDP’s Greg Olson.

With polls going into voting showing the Sask Party with an insurmountable lead, the media was left searching for compelling narratives, but the electorate did not oblige.

Finance Minister Bill Boyd, for example, was supposed to be in tough against former Sask Party MLA Jason Dearborn in the Kindersley riding based the minister’s involvement in scandals surrounding the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) land deal, huge travel expense claims and exploding Smart Meters.

A popular uprising for Dearborn, who ran as an independent, never mater-

ialized, however. He came in a distant second with 18 per cent of the vote to Boyd’s 68 per cent.

Locally, all of the surrounding ridings went Sask Party green in a big way.

Terry Dennis won CanoraPelly with 68 per cent of the vote. Kevin Phillips took Kelvington-Wadena with 70 per cent. It was 62 per cent for Glen Hart in Last Mountain-Touchwood.

Warren Kaeding rounded out the sweep with 72 per cent in Melville-Saltcoats.

All three of the newlycreated constituencies went to the Sask Party.

In Regina-Pasqua it was a close race between Muhammad Fiaz and Heather McIntyre with Fiaz prevailing by 275 votes.

Neither of the Saskatoon ridings was close. Paul Merriman, who repre-

sented the former riding of Saskatoon-Sutherland in the legislature won in Saskatoon SilverspringSutherland while Bronwyn Eyre, a public school trustee, took Saskatoon Stonebridge-Dakota.

Across the province voter turnout was an abysmal 57 per cent, eight per cent less than the previous record of 65 per cent set in 1995.

Meanwhile, results of the Student Vote—a parallel mock election in which elementary and high school kids cast ballots last week—were also reported Monday. They mimicked fairly closely the actual

results with the Sask Party winning 48 seats to the NDP’s 13.

In Yorkton, Ottenbreit took 77 per cent of the student vote, but provincially the Sask Party only got 53 per cent compared to 62.5 from the actual electorate.

Students were much kinder to the Liberals and Greens giving those parties each 11 per cent compared to 3.6 and 1.8 per cent respectively from actual voters. Those gains did not just come from the Sask Party, but also from the NDP, who only garnered 23 per cent of the student vote compared to 30 per cent in the real election.

Helping new parents track kids’ growth

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Yorkton Family Resource Centre lives up to its name, giving families in the region resources as they raise their children. Two initiatives at the centre have been designed to help new parents as their child grows and develops.

One of the projects was a way to track progress, which wound up being represented by the Watch Me Grow tree that parents can use to see milestones, keep track of events in kids’ lives, and create a fun way to update the old fashioned growth chart on a door frame. Twyla McPhee with the Family Resource Centre says that the goal was to see be able to see how kids are growing, rather than set goals to hit.

“As baby grows, the tree grows, with everything they did for the baby. It’s like a baby book for the family, they record everything and date everything.”

Beyond tracking the progress of the kids, McPhee says it’s meant to be something which the kids are interested in and want to interact with. The design is built to be kid friendly and durable and choices like building many achievements around animals were made to make the tree a learning tool as well as a way to track achievements. She notes that they made an effort to put every colour they could on the tree as well, for example.

“It’s meant to be a communication tool for the child too. When kids start growing up and pointing, there are animal sounds, because that’s the first form of communication when they start to talk... It’s supposed to be their first communicator.”

Part of the project is to give a physical representation of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, or ASQ. Parents can take part in the ASQ each Thursday, as a way to see how the kid is developing

and learn what the kid is ready to work on. Parents get a tree when they start doing ASQs. McPhee says the ASQs are a tool, especially for new parents, to see what their kids are ready for and what they can be doing as parents.

“We are not all child development experts...

This is how we can see what their brain is ready for, and what they can be working on.”

New parents also had the chance to see what resources were available as well as meet other new parents as part of the annual baby shower hosted at the centre. The event is a way to connect, McPhee explains, with KidsFirst and Public Health coming on board to give information to parents.

“A big part of it is they can find answers to questions about early learning. They can find someone, everyone they ask here, even if they don’t know, will know someone who knows.”

Finding information about programs is one

THE FAMILY RESOURCE CENTRE has unveiled the Watch Me Grow tree, which is designed to keep track of a child’s progress and help them learn at the same time, using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire. Pictured are (l-r) printer Garth Sapara, designer Miyoung Cho, and Kim Gelowitz and Twyla McPhee with the Family Resource Centre.

McPhee notes that the Family Resource Centre

is connecting parents of kids in the same age range together through many different programs, and that part of the goal

is to get parents whose babies in the same stages are able to meet each other and provide support.

Parkland Outdoor Show aims for variety

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

The Parkland Outdoor Show and Expo has become one of the big outdoor events in the province. The 2016 event, taking place from April 16-17, is aimed at giving something for everyone who spends time outdoors.

Nolan Johnson with the show says that between

the over 100 exhibitors, different guest speakers and events at the show.

They are focused on the outdoors, but want to cast a wide net, as they recognize that represents many different hobbies, whether that means hunting, fishing, camping, hiking or other activities.

“We really tailor our show to the outdoor enthusiast.”

The goal with the speakers is to hit as many subjects as they can. Fred Eichler, with two shows on Wild TV, is probably the biggest name they have, Johnson says, with presentations at the banquet on Saturday as well as on stage at the show. There will also be Les Johnson, with Predator Quest, who will be at the lunch on Saturday. Brooke Thomas

is someone Johnson describes as a “different catch,” a deep sea fisher who breaks down stereotypes of fishing women.

“We’re looking to bring the biggest names we can in the outdoor industry.

From the shows we’ve been to across Canada and in the United States, in Canada for sure there’s no show that brings this big of guest speakers.”

One of the regular highlights is the 3D Archery Shoot, taking place at the Agri-Pavillion. The show gives people the chance to test their bows in the shoot. There will also be the chance for kids without bows to try it out for the first time.

Archery is also why the show exists, explains Johnson, as it began as a way to raise money for archery programs for kids in the city. That continues to be a big part of why the show exists, and it has donated back over $100,000 to programs in the surrounding area.

They are also supporting Access to the Outdoors, a program which takes peo-

The growth of the show makes sense because this is an outdoor-focused community, Johnson believes, making an outdoor show something that people would be naturally inclined to support.

“We’re a hub and we’re an outdoor centre. We’ve got a lot of bird outfitters

who call Yorkton home, bear outfitters and deer outfitters, and a lot of people who hunt around the community. It was definitely needed, and I think we hit it out of the park.”

The show kicks off with a party at the Painted Hand Casino, starting at 7:00 p.m. on April 15. The show itself runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday at the Gallagher Centre.

Businesses upset with Canada Post closure Canada Post has left downtown Yorkton. With the closure of Dowie’s Quick Print at the end of March, the postal service is going to reduce the number of service outlets in the city to two.

“After an extensive review of how Yorkton residents are using our services and looking at mail volumes, we determined that the market will be well served by the postal services available at the Parkland Mall Shoppers Drug Mart and Canada Post retail counter on Ball Road. The Shoppers Drug Mart has expanded their postal outlet space to more than accommodate the increase in volume,” says Phil Legault, Manager of Media Relations with Canada Post.

Joelle Bohn of Joey’s Children’s Apparel hopes that Canada Post will change their mind about losing a downtown location. The business owner had hoped that she would be able to take over the postal franchise. Her plan was to keep the same staff and location, and she says she contacted multiple people within Canada Post to try to get the franchise, before being told that the service would be moved to the Shoppers Drug Mart location. While she wanted to take over the franchise, Bohn would be happy with any downtown postal franchise.

“If it stays anywhere downtown, whether in my location or anywhere else, it would be beneficial.”

The loss to the downtown will be a blow to

local businesses, Bohn says, whether it’s the convenience of having a nearby postal outlet or having something to draw people into the downtown area. She notes that for her own business and other businesses with an online presence, they would use that location for all of their shipping needs, but it was also a benefit even if a business did not have to do a lot of shipping.

“Just traffic-wise, getting people, the traffic downtown was always busier with the post office there. Whether it was just them picking up a package and going to a downtown store, it was benefitting all of our businesses with that being there.”

While the official word is that there will no longer be a downtown location for Canada Post, Bohn remains optimistic that these plans will change and there will be a new outlet set up in the downtown again.

The Yorkton Business Improvement District (YBID) also wants to see a downtown postal location kept, and wants to put pressure on Canada Post to reopen a franchise. Phil De Vos with YBID explains that the city has been served well

by the locations downtown and in the mall, and they want to see the same level of service maintained, with both locations operational.

“We’ve always had two facilities, the one at the Parkland Mall which has been operational for a long time, and the one at Quick Print which has also been around for a very long time. We’d like to see that maintained.”

The concern for YBID is the very small businesses, those with very few employees who will have greater difficulty with a postal location located further away.

“For example, we do have a lot of mom and pop operations where sometimes there is only one person in the store.

If they are relied on Canada Post to get their mail, or their parcel, which hugely involves the product they sell, or they’re shipping via

Canada Post, they have to close their store, walk to their car, drive down to the mall, do their business with Canada Post there, drive back and reopen their store. The closure of the store is the thing that seems to worry some people.”

YBID has contacted Canada Post representatives and the local MP Cathay Wagantall about the issue. The organization is now looking at

finding out how the closure will affect people and businesses in the city, and is seeking input at yorktonbid@sasktel. net.

Less voters, more democracy Another election is in the books and the obligatory task is upon us in the editorializing class of congratulating all of those who put their names forward, winners and losers. We do so without reservation. Being a candidate is no easy endeavour, especially in the age of social media. And while we often criticize, according to our role, we do commend all those who contest elections for their service to democracy and in this case our province.

But while the next few days may be a time for congratulations and condolences, the next four years are a time for reflection and action.

In the election Monday, only 56.8 per cent of registered voters exercised their democratic right. That is down approximately 10 per cent from 2011 when it was 66.7 per cent. Those ratios, however, are misleading.

Prior to the writ period, Elections Saskatchewan registered nearly 92 per cent of the estimated 815,000 eligible voters, which is a 24 per cent increase over 2011. That year, the organization only registered 76 per cent of an estimated 797,000.

In real numbers, the elections authority registered more than 150,000 more eligible voters—kudos for that— but just less than 23,000 more voted.

Factoring in population growth, to get an accurate idea of political participation, we have to compare the percentages of eligible voters who voted. In 2011, it was 51 per cent, this year 52 per cent. Accounting for the inherent margin of error, those are pretty much identical results.

To put it in further perspective, the Saskatchewan Party just won an 84 per cent majority of the seats in the Legislature with approximately 33 per cent of the eligible vote.

Now, the standard answer to that for winners is something along the lines that people who don’t vote don’t matter. On the other side, the answer is democracy is broken.

Both of those views are wrong-headed. Every citizen of this country and province has a right to good government. The fact that half of the electorate feels so disenfranchised, or so complacent, or so angry that they don’t even bother voting, is irrelevant.

And the fact is, the ratios are more likely to go down than up because studies indicate the percentage of people who vote is greater among old people and lesser among young people. Since the voting habit develops early and is lifelong, we could very quickly be electing governments with less than half the voting age public.

Potential solutions that have been proposed include mandatory voting, proportional representation and online voting. These can only be effective, though, if people care and all indications are we have entered an era in which they don’t. Just 20 per cent of Canadians say they trust our political institutions ‘a lot.’

So, why don’t Canadians trust political institutions?

Part of the problem is we view politicians as self-interested. There have been so many cases in which politicians have been just as likely to discourage the vote as encourage it when it suits their purposes. Encouraging voting in general has given way to pinpoint targeting of supporters and getting out the specific vote.

Then there are the high profile breaches of ethics and even criminal activities of elected (and appointed) officials. Whether it is fair or not, all get tainted by those instances.

But maybe we are looking at this all wrong. The assumption is low voting rates are a problem. Perhaps the assumption is incorrect. The strange thing, or maybe not, is that while voting rates are at an all-time low, civic engagement is at an all-time high.

More people are members of groups or organizations in their communities or engaging in other ways—online, for example—than ever before. Perhaps democracy is evolving away from politics. Is it possible people may be exerting influence in ways other than with ballots? Is our future less voting, but more democracy?

Loyalty to political parties has been declining for decades. Could it be people are simply more inclined to work with whomever gets elected rather than concern themselves with for whom to vote? After all, elections only happen every few years, whereas governing takes place every day. And honestly, when you get right down to it, how much difference is there really between most of our mainstream candidates?

It is a thought. Sometimes we need to turn a thing on its head to see it right side up.

Getting supporters out to polls In the mix of reactions to the recent provincial election, one person I know asked why his vote even matters. Apparently he was not a supporter of Brad Wall and the Sask Party, given that they cruised to an easy third majority, but it’s a question that deserves an answer. Why does the vote of the individual actually matter?

Looking at the numbers in the provincial election, at least locally, something interesting stands out. Yorkton’s MLA, Greg Ottenbreit, has had a consistent number of votes over his three terms in office, hovering around 5,000 votes each time. His share of the vote, however, has increased dramatically, going from around 60 per cent to the low 70s.

He has benefitted from a lower voter turnout because it wasn’t his support base that didn’t turn out – between 2007 and 2011, there were 900 fewer votes cast in Yorkton, but Ottenbreit saw an increased number of votes overall, leading one to assume that all of the people who stayed home voted for the NDP previously. What is apparent is that people who support Ottenbreit vote for him, while people who do not apparently have decided to simply not vote.

Credit to the Ottenbreit campaign, they recognize that getting their supporters to the polls is how elections are won, and they have effectively done that for three straight elections. On a provincial level, that’s also what his party has done overall, and as a result they have won for the third time in a row. They have a healthy majority in the polls, and part of that is simply getting their supporters out to vote for them, something which their primary opponent has not managed to do. It’s no coincidence that the Sask Party continues to win, their supporters believe their votes matter, and as a result they actually vote.

This is why an individual vote matters. It’s not because elections are decided by a narrow margin, because they usually are not, but because you’re relying on the movement of crowds. In this case, you have one crowd that believes their vote matters, and one crowd that is getting disillusioned with the process. As a result, one of those crowds wins with little difficulty, while the other can barely maintain seat totals after each election. It’s not so much a matter of one person deciding their vote doesn’t matter, it’s when a large group of people agree with that person, and wind up staying home instead of actually voting.

As a post-mortem, one can make different guesses about why this is the case. In this particular campaign, the NDP seemed, to these eyes, to be deliberately tanking it, being ghosts outside of the two major cities and generally not doing much to

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger hold the incumbent’s feet to the fire. The opposition did have material to work with, and then didn’t use it effectively, and as a result couldn’t increase their support – while also seeing their leader lose his seat. There was nothing inspiring about the NDP campaign, and in the process of giving up on rural voters they might as well have gift-wrapped a number of rural seats for Sask Party candidates. And now their supporters are feeling disenfranchised, because they lost by such a big margin.

The Sask Party campaign was basically a greatest hits album, Brad Wall toured the province with old records, playing to a devoted fanbase, without giving much new and exciting. There was deliberately little in the way of new promises – it was, in some cases, a point of pride, given that the campaign made a point of rejecting the NDP platform’s new spending – but it was something that resonated with their support base. It’s like how everyone’s happy when the Rolling Stones tour. They might have a new album every once in a while, but nobody cares about that, they just want to hear Paint it Black and will turn out to hear it. Sask Party supporters didn’t need new spending, they like what they’ve seen over the past eight years and want more of it. The repeated mantra of “Keep Saskatchewan Strong” was the Paint it Black of the election season, the only thing the fans actually needed to hear.

If the NDP wants to be an effective opposition party, let alone a real candidate to govern the province, they have to be able to energize their supporters. On that count, they’re failing, and as a result they’re failing to actually count as a force in the provincial election. Love them, hate them, or somewhere in between, the Sask Party wins because their supporters understand the value of actually making the trek to the polls.

People can argue that one vote doesn’t make a difference, but when one group believes their vote is important and a second group does not, the former group’s cause is going to win. In the case of the provincial election, the former group was made up of Sask Party supporters.

Spring is here, take time to look at the sky planets. While always there, it is most prominent at the equinoxes, just after sunset in spring and preceding sunrise in the fall. Not all that easy to see this far north, the Zodiacal light is sometimes mistaken for ‘the lights of a town just over the horizon’, an experience I can vouch for.

But, for country and city dwellers alike, the ‘star’ of the evening is not a star at all: Jupiter dominates in the dark south east sky, at least until the Moon gains prominence by mid-month. It’s twice

We also get a bit of a bonus this week: Mercury appears just above the western horizon shortly after sunset.

Very bright when it’s visible, Mercury’s a little hard to view as it always lies very close to the Sun; we can only catch it just before sunrise or just after sunset when all the math works out. Get out shortly after 8pm as it’s low on the horizon and sets 90 minutes after the Sun.

An especially nice view occurs when it’s joined by the crescent Moon on the 8th.

Your letter of the Week No-fee Liberal membership sets party up for disaster Hey, folks! Have I got a deal for you.

Want to join one of Canada’s oldest political parties . . . for free?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced at a national board meeting in Halifax recently his intentions to modify the Liberal Party constitution. If it’s passed during the national convention in May, you’ll be able to join and not have to pay one (Liberal) red cent.

According to an April 3 piece by the Canadian Press’s Joan Bryden, “There would no longer be any party members.

Instead, anyone willing to register with the party - for free - would be eligible to participate in policy development, nomination of candidates, party conventions and the selection

of future leaders.”

This constitutional amendment would be “aimed at transforming the federal party from an exclusive club,” wrote Bryden, “into a wide-open political movement.”

Well, then. In light of such fanfare for this spirited move, what could possibly go wrong?

Oh, that’s right. Just about everything.

Removing membership fees would ultimately create a hornet’s nest that no political party should ever want to willingly dive into.

Political parties have historically used annual membership fees and/ or dues as a means of establishing baselines of support and loyalty.

This type of registration creates a commitment to a party on a shortterm basis.

It doesn’t always succeed.

The fees are infinitesimal. The vast majority of people let their party memberships lapse after a year or two.

There have also been cases of some political candidates improperly purchasing party cards - before or during nomination meetings - for individuals who hadn’t expressed an interest in joining.

Even with low fees, there’s a significant difference between paying a few bucks for a party membership card - and paying absolutely nothing.

The important concept of party loyalty would be thrown out the window. Yes, it’s great to get average people involved in the democratic process, and enable them to help

set a course for certain issues and ideas.

At the same time, the members deciding a party’s fate should be loyal to the core, rather than potentially rotten at the centre. By paying a token amount of money for membership, the chances are more likely the former than the latter.

If the Liberals open the floodgates to potentially include every single Canadian for free membership, it would be the equivalent of political pandemonium. You could potentially have enormous warring factions of proand anti-free traders, public health care and private health care supporters, climate change activists and climate change skeptics, and so on. Is this really what Trudeau and his senior

advisers want to deal with now?

As well, there could be increased levels of mischief within the party ranks. For instance, there would be absolutely nothing to prevent loyal Tory, New Democrat, Green and Bloc supporters from joining the Liberals en masse to help shift policies in a particular direction that ultimately aids their parties.

The sky’s the limit for damage they could potentially do to future leadership races.

If the PM believes that a no-fee Liberal Party is the best way to go, and increases the amount of democracy, reform and transparency in Canadian politics, it’s his choice. If his supporters back this proposal, it’s their decision. If this monumen-

tal shift in the party’s constitution causes massive short-term and long-term problems, as it likely will, it could be the government’s funeral.

Hence, Trudeau’s proposal for Canadians to join the Liberal Party for free doesn’t benefit his own party. It would benefit the other political parties - and they’re all privately hoping it passes.

Chamber of Commerce promotes ag business

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Yo r k t o n Chamber of Commerce has long been an ally to the local agriculture industry. They view it as so important to the city of Yorkton that they have enshrined it in their constitution, making promoting agriculture one of their objectives.

Juanita Polegi, executive director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce explains that they do this by sponsoring and promoting agriculture programs.

That includes things like the Pizza Farm program, which teaches kids where a pizza comes from starting with the raw ingredients, working with the Ministry of Agriculture.

Another example is the Crops of the Parkland display near the Chamber office, which educates people on the different crops that are raised in the region.

It also includes Harvest Showdown and the Grain Expo, with the Yorkton Exhibition Association, as well as through different publications

that give information to local farmers and businesses.

“We try to recognize our ag businesses for their accomplishments and achievements wherever possible.”

The city of Yorkton is built on agriculture, and Polegi says that businesses in the city are all affected by the way the agriculture industry moves. Good years can result in business expansion and development, as has happened with ag equipment dealers in and around the city.

Bad years also affect everyone, as the spin off of ag business can hit a wide spectrum of businesses.

“We’ve got a huge trading area made up primarily of rural people, and Yorkton is very fortunate that farmers and ranchers in the area continue to support the businesses in and around Yorkton.”

She notes that the impact is not necessarily obvious. While there are many businesses that directly support and supply farmers – agriculture equipment dealers, feed suppliers and so on – there are many

others that people might not immediately associate with farm sales, such as small engine repair businesses, fuel and other support businesses.

The net goes wider than that for a city like Yorkton, as many other businesses benefit when a farmer and their family come into town to handle that end of the business, whether they’re taking advantage of the city’s hospitality industry or buying clothing or eyeglasses.

“The agriculture community contributes to the entire business community.”

Because of that wide impact, Polegi says that the Chamber recognizes the impact agriculture makes within and around the city of Yorkton.

“I’ve heard from businesses over and over that when the farm community struggles, ultimately the business community struggles. So I think that the Chamber and it’s member businesses have a real appreciation for the contributions that farmers and ranchers make to the local economy.”

Crop variety selection part of the process With spring here, a lot of decisions need to be made regarding cropping choices for the upcoming field season. Deciding which crops to grow is usually a simpler process than deciding on which varieties to grow.

Care should be taken to select a variety suited to your farm operation and caution should be taken at times to not always grow the same variety as your neighbour for the sake of simplicity.

It is very tempting to select a crop variety based solely on yield as yield pays the bills. A variety should be selected based on the location of your farm and production practices. Maturity is important and can impact seeding and harvest dates and the risk of frost.

An early maturing variety can be seeded late and have a good chance at maturing, while a later maturing variety requires an early seeding date or else the crop may not be mature when the first frost takes place.

Disease resistance is another important factor as it may reduce reliance on fungicides, but when combined with a fungicide provides very good disease control, which lessens the buildup of inoculum and lowers the chances of a pathogen or fungus developing resistance to a fungicide or certain mode of action. This is similar for varieties with insect resistance such as wheat midge tolerant wheat and the development of solid stemmed wheat varieties to

minimize saw fly damage, which leads me to lodging.

Lodging directly influences how enjoyable harvest time is and can’t be prevented in certain situations. Typically, a shorter variety will lodge less than a taller one, but the tradeoff is competitiveness with weeds.

A taller variety has a better chance of intercepting sunlight for photosynthesis and being able to choke out and smother weeds, showing how crop variety choice can influence weed control.

The 2016 Varieties of Grain Crops is a very useful tool in variety choices as it provides information about crop varieties and characteristics such as yield, maturity, disease resistance, seed size, and lodging. In contrast to the 2016 SaskSeed guide, includes information on variety availability among pedigreed seed growers in the province and shows the 2015 Canola performance trials. I would strongly encourage any producers to use these resources as they are very informative. The variety guide uses variety testing information based on four main production areas in Saskatchewan and these areas are classified by their agro-climatic conditions, similar to our soil zones. It is also a useful tool for comparing new varieties to old ones as yield for example will be based on % of a check variety such as Carberry for wheat, 7375 RR for canola, and CDC Golden for field pea.

Healthy soil important

As a new planting season approaches, decisions regarding what crops will be planted and where they will be planted are being made. A wide pool of scientific literature is piling up on the connection between a healthy population of arbuscular mycorrhizae in your fields and increased yield. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form a close interaction with plant roots.

Studies show they improve the uptake of nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Zinc and Copper in soils that are deficient in these elements. Data also exists which indicates that the pathogen protection benefits of AM fungi might be as significant as the nutritional benefits to many plants. Crop rotations will affect AM species diversity and some studies also show certain pesticides can have a detrimental effect on AM and interfere with nodulation formation.

The number of different AM fungi species varies with the type of crop and the crop rotation. Crops that belong to the Brassicaceae (canola), Chenopodiaceae (quinoa) and Caryophyllaceae (buckwheat) families do not form associations with AM fungi.

It has been suggested that including non-mycorrhizal crops in rotation might affect the concentration and viability of indigenous AM fungi in soil thereby affecting the growth of AM-dependent crops following in the rotation. It has been reported that both the growth of corn including shoot weight, grain yield and AM formation were enhanced when the previous crop formed mycorrhizae.

On the other hand, canola has been reported to inhibit AM fungal growth. AM fungi colonization of flax was 3.5% larger after wheat (a highly mycorrhizal crop) than when canola was the previous crop. Seed yield of flax was increased by threefold when grown after safflower versus a flax after flax rotation.

Continuous monocultures can both decrease populations of AM spores as well as shift the AM species composition of the community toward species which may not be beneficial to the crop.

Studies done on corn and soybeans both indicate that certain AM fungi species that become numerous with continuous monocultures may contribute to the yield declines over time noted for such crops.

The percentage of roots that are mycorrhizal is low in young plants but later increases to a high level.

In soybean the rapid increase in mycorrhizae begins as the third trifoliate leaf becomes fully expanded and continues until about 8-12 days before flowering in field-grown plants, and until early pod stage in plants grown in controlled environments.

Inoculum of AMF exists in soil in three forms: spores, soilborne hyphae and colonized roots.

The presence of nonmycotrophic plants, such as members of the Cruciferae, (such as canola) decreases the inoculum of AMF. As AM fungi form there beneficial relationships with live plant roots, studies have shown fallowing land substantially reduces their numbers. In fact, this reduction has been shown to be as great as forty percent with just one season of fallow.

If you have additional questions in regards mycorrhizae, please contact your local Regional Crops Specialist or the Agricultural Knowledge Centre.

New program a reality

The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) is pleased to announce partnerships with Manitoba Canola Growers Association (MCGA), Alberta Canola Producers Commission (ACPC) and SaskCanola to help build and operate a mobile grain entrapment demonstration unit in the three Prairie Provinces.

“We are incredibly grateful to have these three canola producer organizations as our founding partners of this new program,” says Marcel Hacault, Executive Director of CASA. “This grassroots support means that we have a solid start to this new and vital program.”

CASA plans to build and operate three units throughout Canada. “The next step is to secure funding to build enough units to serve all of Canada’s agricultural community,” says Hacault.

“Each of these units would serve communities at fairs and tradeshows, train first responders in grain rescue techniques and be used by commercial grain farmers for training agricultural

workers.”

MCGA, ACPC and SaskCanola have committed to make this program a reality. Each organization has agreed to contribute $30,000 over three years.

“Projects like the mobile grain entrapment demonstration unit are important to our organization and our industry,” says Jack Froese of MCGA. “They provide opportunities for agricultural workers, farmers and farm families across the prairies to learn about the importance of grain safety and spread awareness of the dangers of grain entrapment.”

Organizations like the three canola producer groups understand the importance of raising awareness and providing training to prevent farm injuries and fatalities. “It is imperative that farm safety remain a top priority for our industry,” says Stuart Holmen of ACPC. “We all feel strongly that educational opportunities are the most effective way to improve safety for farm families and their employees.”

CASA is looking for more farm safety champions to help make this program a reality. “The more organizations get involved and support farm safety initiatives, the more we are able to raise awareness for all farmers and farm families to mitigate risks they encounter on a daily basis,” says Dale Leftwich of SaskCanola.

For more information on the mobile grain entrapment demonstration unit program, please contact CASA at 877-452-2272 or at info@casa-acsa.ca.

The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and safety of farmers, their families and agricultural workers. CASA is funded in part by Growing Forward 2, a federal, provincial and territorial initiative and receives additional support from the agricultural and corporate sectors.

FCC adding $500 million to Young Farmer Loan Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is adding $500 million to its ongoing commitment to a loan program aimed at helping young farmers become established in the industry.

Launched in March 2012, FCC’s commitment to the Young Farmer Loan has grown to $2 billion over four years, with almost 6,000 loans worth more than $1.3 billion approved, as of Dec. 31, 2015.

“FCC is proud to support the next generation of farmers through every stage of their career,” FCC President and CEO Michael Hoffort said.

“Products like the Young Farmer Loan can make a real difference for producers looking to enter the industry or grow their business.”

The Young Farmer Loan provides qualified producers, under age 40, with loans of up to $500,000 to purchase or improve farmland and buildings. The loan includes variable lending rates at prime plus 0.5 per cent, a special fixed rate if producers choose that avenue of repayment and no loan processing fees.

Shawn Paget, owner of Riverview Farm Corporation,

used a Young Farmer Loan three years ago to acquire more land for his Hartland, New Brunswick-area potato farm.

“FCC’s Young Farmer Loan was exactly what we needed to expand our operations in order to grow a wider variety of cash crops, such as soybeans, corn and cereals,” Paget said. “Access to flexible financing is very important when you are starting out or trying to become more established in the industry.

It’s more than a loan – it’s an investment in the future of farming.”

Enabling young producers to borrow with no fees at affordable interest rates helps them develop a solid credit history and build their business.

“The long-term success of Canadian agriculture relies heavily on our ability to attract and retain young, innovative people to the business of agriculture,” said Lawrence MacAulay, minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

“By helping the next generation become established in this vital industry, FCC is fulfilling an important part of its mandate and a key commitment of this gov-

ernment.”

To find out more about the demographic impact of young farmers on Canadian agriculture, read the latest Ag Economist blog post at www.fcc.ca/ AgEconomist.

The Young Farmer Loan enhances FCC’s suite of existing products and services that support young producers, such as the FCC Transition Loan, FCC Ag Knowledge Exchange events, FCC Publications, FCC on Campus, and FCC Management Software for both accounting and field management.

In 2014-15, FCC approved more than $2.4 billion in financing to farmers under age 40, representing more than one-quarter of the $8.6 billion in disbursements last year to help customers expand or start their operations.

For more information on the FCC Young Farmer Loan, visit www. fcc.ca/youngfarmerloan or producers can call the local FCC office at 1-800387-3232.

FCC is Canada’s leading agriculture lender, with a healthy loan portfolio of more than $28 billion. Our employees are dedicated to the future of Canadian agri-

Tops in food exports

Saskatchewan is once again leading the nation, holding strong as Canada’s top agri-food exporting province. For the fifth straight year, the province has set a record with total sales of $15.1 billion.

In 2015, Saskatchewan exceeded the ambitious target laid out in the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth. The provincial goal was to export $15 billion of agricultural and agri-food products by 2020. A total of $15.1 billion worth of agriculture products left our province in 2015, meeting the demand of 145 countries around the world. This is an increase of eight per cent from 2014 and a 136 per cent increase since 2007.

“Agriculture is the foundation of our province and remains a prominent economic driver, supporting our provincial finances as we deal with the downturn in the resource sector,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “We were confident the industry would meet our Growth Plan target by 2020 but our farmers, ranchers and agri-businesses have once again exceeded our expectations and reached the target five years ahead of schedule.”

Saskatchewan produces a number of agriculture and agri-food products that are in demand across the globe.

The Government of Saskatchewan remains focused on market

culture and its role in feeding an ever-growing world. We provide flexible, competitively priced financing, management software, information

munities where our customers and employees live and work. Visit fcc.ca or follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, and on Twitter @FCCagriculture.

COMING EVENTS

The Bra Lady Is coming to Size You Up Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? As you've probably seen on Oprah or read in women's magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Due to overwhelming response to the last clinic, Barb Chapman is coming to: YORKTON, THURSDAY, APRIL 14 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 running or jumping?

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

1-800-254-3938 She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible. Although Chapman enjoys coming to your area, she is looking for someone to train for the business.
