Local Watershed awarded for excellence Premier Brad Wall and Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Minister responsible for the Water Security Agency Ken Cheveldayoff have announced the Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association (which is based out of Yorkton) will be presented with the Council of the Federation Excellence in Water Stewardship Award. The award for Excellence in Water Stewardship recognizes outstanding achievements, innovative practice and leadership in water stewardship. The Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association will be presented the 2014 award at the Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds and Saskatchewan Conservation and Development Association annual conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased to recognize the Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association for the innovation they have shown in reaching out to landowners and demonstrating the
advantages of beneficial management practices and the impact on watersheds,â&#x20AC;? says MLA for Saskatoon Eastview Corey Tochor on behalf of Premier Wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people of Saskatchewan are very fortunate to have groups like this who are dedicated to protecting and preserving the quality of water in our lakes and rivers.â&#x20AC;? In 2009, the Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association began implementing Agricultural Environmental Group Plans. These plans allow all farmers in the plan area to qualify for financial assistance to implement beneficial management practices which protect water. Tochor says the Association has shown strong innovation and administration, leading to very successful implementation of its plan. Continued on Page 2.

Area skier awarded first at Sask. Cup Final Submitted by Warren Todosichuk It was a busy year with many successes for the Kamsack Ski Club which is getting set to wrap up a season fun and activity. Among the highlights, 13 year old Tori Todosichuk, who has been skiing since the age of three and races in the U14 (under 14) category took home a top award. At the Sask Cup Finals held recently she was awarded 1st Place Overall Points in the Sask Cup Series. This is her second year in
a row to receive the award. About 16 girls compete in this age category from around the province from six different clubs. During the Sask Cup Series, sponsored by SaskTel, athletes compete in a variety of events in and out of province. The best results from three out of five eligible Slalom events (SL) and best one out of two eligible Giant Slalom events are determined. Points are awarded based on their placing at those “starts.” The highest total points for the year earns the distinction of
Highest Overall Sask Cup Points for the category. Tori’s consistency
throughout the year paid off in the points standings. The U14 ladies category was extremely close this season with any one of the top five girls being “podium buddies” on any given day. Hundredths of a second often separated gold, silver, and bronze. Tori was no stranger to the podium this season with multiple medals now on display on her award shelves. Her season included participation at the Sask Winter Games in PA where she earned medals for Team Parkland Valley including a silver medal in Slalom and a Gold medal in head to head dual Slalom. Besides the Sask events she also raced in
Manitoba Cup events where she also medalled. Travel to four ski hills in Saskatchewan, and others in Alberta, BC & Manitoba has kept Tori and her team mates on the road since November. The season is set to wrap up mid-April after travel to the Whistler Cup, an international event, the first week of April and then training and trials for the Canada Winter Games at Nakiska, Alberta the week following. The Kamsack Ski Club, based at Duck Mountain Ski Area, has been supportive of the entire Duck Mountain Alpine Race Team (D.A.R.T.) again this season helping those
athletes that have taken their skiing to the next level.

A Special Salute to Saskatchewan’s Largest Industry
Page 6A - THE NEWS REVIEW EXTRA - Saturday, March 29, 2014
A message from Saskatchewan’s Ag. Minister Last year’s record crop production is testing the limits of the grain handling and transportation system. The grain movement backlog is a very serious situation for farmers and the entire province and it is a high priority for the Saskatchewan Government. We have been working on this issue for months with meetings and correspondence with the major players in the supply chain (grain companies, railways, and Port Metro Vancouver) and the federal government to raise the urgency of resolving this grain backlog in a timely manner. We initially asked for service agreements with reciprocal penalties between the railways and the grain companies, with the federal government overseeing these negotiations. But as time has passed with no agreements in place and no improvement in grain movement, we had to consider other options. On March 7th, the Government of Canada took a step in the right direction when it announced new mea-
“Thank you to all our farmers and ranchers and I wish you all the best in 2014.”
sures forcing our country’s railways to get serious about moving grain. The federal government issued an Order in Council which states if CN and CP fail to move a minimum amount of one million tonnes of grain (or 11,000 cars) each week, the railways will face fines of up to
$100,000 per day. Further, federal legislation addressing the current backlog in grain transportation will be announced when Parliament returns March 24th. This is something that we have been calling for and we are certainly pleased to see that it is
Proud to Salute Agriculture
being introduced. While it is a last resort for our government to call for additional regulation of any industry, it became clear that this action would be necessary to get the backlog cleared and avoid this issue in future years. Our input on forthcoming legislation includes raising minimum weekly car deliveries to 13,000 or face fines of at least $250,000 per day. We have also asked for mandatory service level agreements and reciprocal penalties for grain shippers and railways. Ensuring the timely and efficient movement of grain through the system this year is crucial to the industry’s longterm success as we must maintain our reputation as a reliable exporter. We will keep pressing all
of the grain transportation supply chain stakeholders on this issue until it is resolved. We also continue to improve our programs for producers. We recently launched the Agricultural Operator Program to help producers address labour challenges on Saskatchewan farms. Current farm-employees, or individuals interested in farm employment, can take part in the pilot program and gain the skills needed to work in the agriculture industry. The program is broken into three modules: a seeding module that will run from March 24 to April 16; a spraying and scouting module that will run from May 26 to July 4, 2014; and, a harvest module that will
run from July 7 to August 15, 2014. This pilot program will be offered at the Parkland Regional College in Yorkton and we hope to expand the program to include livestock modules in the future. We have also introduced a Livestock Price Insurance Program to help cattle producers protect themselves against unexpected price declines. Insurance coverage options will be available in the near future. The Crop Insurance Program has also been improved to include: a pilot program to provide yield-loss coverage for corn, increase in yields for durum and barley, a bee mortality insurance pilot program, increasing the base grade for flax, adding field peas to the contract price option and expanding the number of crops eligible for vegetable insurance. Thank you to all our farmers and ranchers and I wish you all the best in 2014.

We grow more than you think! Why ag. is so important AAFC – Why is the agriculture and agrifood sector so important? It’s a colossal contributor to the lives of all Canadians. It feeds us, as well as our economy. It employs us, and depends upon the environmental stewardship of our farmers. It is fuelled by innovation and ingenuity. In short, it grows a lot more than you may think! The agriculture and agri-food industry contributes $100 billion annually to Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP). (That’s more than the national GDP of 2/3 of the world’s countries).
products contain oats? The list goes on! Agriculture also has a major impact on the economy. Canola – now the oil of choice for millions around the world – was developed by Canadian scientists and planted by Canadian farmers. Today, Canada contributes nearly 40 per cent to global canola imports. No wonder our beef gets all dressed up Agriculture’s meaty contributions. There are approximately four million beef cows in Canada. In addition, roughly 26 million pigs are raised in Canada each year, making us the world’s third-largest exporter of pork products.
Why agriculture is a big deal
What makes agriculture king? Canada is the 5th largest agricultural exporter in the world, and the agriculture and agri-food industry employs 2.1 million Canadians (that’s one in eight jobs). We produce about 85 per cent of the world’s maple syrup, and we’re the world’s largest producer and exporter of flax seed, canola, pulses and durum wheat. Agriculture’s hidden marvels. Think agriculture only produces things that you eat? Think again! Did you know the airbag in your car contains cornstarch? That diabetic test strips contain an enzyme found in horseradish? Or that some shampoo and skin care

Hats off to Sask. farmers!
AITC – Did you eat today? Somewhere a farmer is responsible for growing the food you ate! Every single day we are dependent upon farmers! Most importantly farmers grow food for us to eat and although some of us may not realize it, many of the products we use in our daily life also contain products that are from the farm. Did you wash your hair this morning? The shampoo may have had wheat or oats in it! Did you brush your teeth this morn-
ing? Your toothpaste may have contained glycerin from cattle! Did you ride in a car recently? The paint on the car may have had flax oil in it! In Saskatchewan, there are 36, 952 farmers (census 2011) who are working diligently to grow food to feed Saskatchewan and the world. Farmers are also stewards of the land – we trust them to take responsible care of our land and water so the land will continue to produce food forever.

Who knew? Sask. agriculture is big business
Gov’t of Sask. – Agriculture is the root of Saskatchewan’s economy and accounts for over one-third of the province’s total exports. We have over 40 per cent of Canada’s farmland totaling more than 60 million acres. Approximately 33 million acres of agricultural land is used for crop production each year. Wholesome roots
Saskatchewan is known worldwide as a consistent and reliable supplier of safe, highquality grains, oilseeds, pulses and livestock. In 2013, we produced: • 99 per cent of Canada’s chickpeas • 96 per cent of Canada’s lentils • 87 per cent of Canada’s durum wheat • 82 per cent of Canada’s flaxseed • 76 per cent of Canada’s mustard • 64 per cent of Canada’s dry peas • 50 per cent of Canada’s canola Feeding the world
Saskatchewan exports over $1 billion in each of the four key product sectors: cereal grains (wheat, oats, rye and barley), oilseeds (canola and flax), pulses (peas and lentils) and edible oils (canola). In 2012, Saskatchewan was responsible for: • 49 per cent of the world’s lentil exports • 37 per cent of the world’s pea exports • 24 per cent of the world’s flaxseed exports • 37 per cent of the world’s durum exports • 22 per cent of the world’s canola seed exports • 26 per cent of the world’s mustard exports • 20 percent of the
world’s canola oil exports In 2012, Saskatchewan was also the leading Canadian exporter of 13 of the following agri-food products: • Non-durum wheat $2.03 billion • Canola Seed - $2.7 billion • Lentils - $673 million • Canola Oil - $1.7 million • Pea - $626 million • Durum - $1.2 billion • Canola Meal - $600 million • Flaxseed - $213 million • Oats - $234 million • Barley - $254 million • Canary Seed - $78 million • Mustard Seed - $61 million • Chickpeas - $33 million Building on our strengths – moving crops to the next level The Ministry of Agriculture collaborates with industry organizations, producers and research institutions to increase competitiveness, production, new crop development, product development and value-added processing in Saskatchewan’s crop sectors with the goal of increasing overall profitability throughout the value chain. This includes introducing new crops, increasing returns on existing crops, and adding value through processing opportunities: • Camelina – it’s estimated that camelina production will reach 100,000 acres by 2015, with a value of $16.8 million. Camelina biobased products include fish feed, bio-lubricants, healthy oils and jet fuel.
• Vegetables – there’s a potential for highvalue vegetables like onions and small potatoes, particularly for irrigation farmers (net return $3,000 to $5,000 per acre). Saskatchewan has the growing conditions, land and water resources, minimal pest pressure and expertise necessary for growing high-quality vegetables. • Wheat – wheat has been the cornerstone of Saskatchewan agriculture since farming began in the province. Varietal development, through the stacking of traits to create superior varieties is needed to ensure that this crop can compete with other crop types and is profitable for growers. • Honey – honey producers in the province are getting the help they need to keep their colonies healthy and the honey production per hive the highest in Canada. Research to develop best management practices to control mites and reduce winter mortality in honey bees is underway. • Fruit processing – Saskatchewan growers produce approximately five million pounds of fruit per year on 2,000 acres with strong potential to increase acreage with the expansion of irrigation districts and agri-tourism.

Wide-open spaces Saskatchewan has over six million hectares of pastureland and large quantities of high-quality feed, making it an ideal place for livestock development. Saskatchewan has 1.2 million beef cows, or just under 30 per cent of the Canadian beef cow herd, making it the second-largest beef-producing province in Canada. In 2012: • Saskatchewan’s total cattle and calf receipts were just over $1 billion. Saskatchewan’s hog industry generated over $265 million. • Saskatchewan had approximately one third of the Canadian bison
herd. Research and development The Government of Saskatchewan supports the creation of a knowledge-based economy. The Ministry of Agriculture invests in progressive and relevant research, innovation and commercialization to benefit the agriculture sector. Saskatchewan is home to 30 per cent of Canada’s agricultural biotechnology, providing expertise in biofuels, bioproducts, crop research and nutrition, and health and wellness.

Grain movement the focus system that gets agricultural products to market more efficiently. The Government continues to call on all parties in the grain supply chain to play constructive roles to ensure the timely movement of grain, and to continue working together on medium and long-term solutions. Quick Facts • This year’s Western Canadian crop, at 76 million tonnes, is 50 per cent higher than average. This volume is putting significant pressure on Western Canada’s grain handling and transportation system. As the Government continues to work with farmers to invest in research and innovation, higher yields will continue to be the new reality across Canada. • The recent action
builds on previous steps the Government has taken to improve the performance of the entire rail supply chain in order to help farmers get their crops to market, which include: • pursuing enhancements to the Grain Monitoring Program to improve the frequency of reporting and to expand the performance data collected; • investing $1.5 million, matched by industry, in a Pulse Canadaled multi-sector collaboration project of the pulse, oilseeds and grains industries to improve supply chain efficiency and reliability; • investing over $73.6 million in innovation through grain research groups; and, • implementing marketing freedom for western Canadian wheat and barley growers.

Canada’s Transport Minister Lisa Raitt and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz have announced measures being taken by the Federal Government to move more grain through the transportation system and maintain Canada’s reputation as a supplier to world markets. Minister Raitt announced an Order in Council (OIC) to take immediate effect, setting out minimum volumes of grain that Canadian National Railway Company and Canadian Pacific Railway Company are each required to move. The Order, under section 47(1) of the Canada Transportation Act, also requires the railways to report to the Minister of Transport on weekly shipments. The railways will be required to increase the volumes carried each week, over a period of four weeks, to a combined target of 1,000,000 metric tonnes per week – more than doubling the volume currently being moved. The Order creates direct legal obligations on railways and will result in penalties for non-compliance of up to $100,000 per day.

Practices of Sask.’s top barley producers Saskatchewan farmers seed more than two million acres to barley every year. Overwhelmingly, farmers choose to plant varieties that are eligible for malt, yet only a small portion of what is planted is selected for malt. Some farmers may find that getting selected for malt is a goal that is
hard to reach. Unlike other grain crops, malt barley must be delivered to the customer in a living state, which requires meticulous care and management of the crop. There are several other factors that are important in malt production, such as plump and uniform
kernels, 95-per-cent germination, disease-free grain and more. The brewing industry recognized that farmers growing malt barley may benefit from the knowledge of their peers. For a few years, industry ran an Elite Barley recognition program. The program identified farmers
who are able to consistently achieve malt selection and shared their practices with others. While the program no longer runs, the lessons are still valuable and worth reviewing. Top barley producers seed barley early, practice good crop rotation and increase seeding rates. These practices have been confirmed by research in Western Canada. The research showed higher quality in barley that was seeded early. Seeding early avoids intense summer heat at sensitive times and allows for more optimum harvest conditions. Optimum yield and improved kernel uniformity was achieved at a seeding rate of 300 seeds per square metre. Disease incidence decreased and yield increased with barley grown on canola or pea stubble over barley grown on barley stubble.
– In 2012, Saskatchewan was the leading Canadian exporter of 13 of agri-food products including $254 million worth of Barley
Additionally, variety selection is an important aspect of malt production and potential acceptance. When selecting other crops, yield potential, disease resistance and other agronomic factors may be primary considerations. For malt barley, the demand of that variety for malt must also be considered. In addition, at harvest, top barley producers reported that adjusting equipment when conditions change
– such as in the evening – and using slower auger speeds can decrease the chances of peeled or cracked kernels. These are only a few of the management decisions producers make to successfully grow malt barley. Now is a good time to read more about malt barley production, talk to industry representatives such as your malt buyer or agrologist, and make plans for successful malt barley production in 2014.

Optimal organic seeding: a balance of economics, yield and weed control
Optimizing organic seeding rates requires a balance between economics, crop yield and weed control benefits. The standard recommendation for most organic crops is to increase seeding rates between 1.25 to two times the conventional seeding rate. The right seeding rate is not always easy to find and will be unique to each system. Using increased seeding rates generally has a positive effect on weed control in all cropping systems, and is especially important for organic growers who have limited weed control options. Seeding at higher densities increases crop competition with weeds for sunlight, nutrients and water resources and is also important for maintaining stand densities if post-emergent weed control operations are planned. Recent research has developed approximate guidelines for organic seeding rates. Recommended rates for wheat are between one and 1.25 times the conventional seeding rates (240 seeds per square metre) under lower weed competition and 1.25 to two times the conventional at higher weed pressure. Similarly, doubling the conventional barley seeding rate (240 seeds per square metre) resulted in less than 12 per cent weed biomass and was economical depending on the selling price of the crop. Organic pulse crop seeding rates largely depend on the crop end use, variety competitiveness and seed costs. Organic field pea and lentil grown as a harvestable seed crop have recommended seeding rates between 1.5 to two times the conventional seeding rates (88 and 130 seeds per square metre, respectively). Competitive forage pea (leafed) varieties and small-seeded black lentil varieties are also used as green fallows for nitrogen fertility and weed control purposes in organics. Recommended forage pea seeding rates for green fallow are equivalent
to the conventional rate (88 seeds per square metre) or slightly less, depending on weed competition. For smallseeded black lentil, the recommended seeding rate for green fallow is two times the conventional seeding rate (130 plants per square metre). Green fallow seeding rate guidelines were developed by including weed competitiveness, seed costs and subsequent soil nitrogen fertility factors. Similar to lentil, organic flax is less weed-competitive, and increasing the seeding rate to two times the conventional seeding rate (500 seeds per square metre) may be economical, depending on the flax market price. As a general guideline, consider increasing seeding rates to the higher end of the range with non-competitive crops and higher weed pressure, and, alternately, to the lower end of the range with competitive crop varieties and lower weed pressure. Variety selection, seed cost, and crop end use are key factors to consider in optimizing seeding rates in organic systems.

A better way to produce bioethanol As the world’s population continues to grow, the demand for fossil fuels is beginning to reach unsustainable levels. The need to invest in alternative sources for fuel is apparent. As demand for non-renewable energy throughout the world continues to grow, especially in economies such as India and China, it is important to think about sustainable fuel alternatives as oil becomes less available and more expensive. The abundance of resources such as coal, natural gas, uranium and petroleum has transformed Saskatchewan into a “have” province; however, these resources are finite and cannot be relied upon as a long-term economic solution. With 40 per cent of Canada’s agricultural land, the province has the potential to produce sustainable forms of energy-rich biofuel crops. Saskatchewan is seizing the opportunity to be an international leader in biosciences by investing in innovative research. With Western Canada’s abundance of wheat, it is much more economical to use that instead of commonly used raw materials such as sugar cane in the production of bioethanol. A 2009 study conducted at
the University of Saskatchewan, with the help of the Agriculture Development Fund, explored using genetically modified common baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to convert starch particles directly to bioethanol. There are generally two major steps in the production of bioethanol from starch. The first step is referred to as hydrolysis. This process involves crushing raw materials such as wheat kernels and mixing them with water to form a mash-like substance. After the mash is formed, it is cooked at high temperatures to separate the starch particles from the mash and turning them into a gel. After this process is complete, the starch is cooled and further hydrolyzed by another starch called glucoamylase. The second step is fermentation and involves mixing the glucose-filled mash with yeast, which results in the sugars being fermented into ethanol and carbon dioxide under anaerobic conditions. While this is the most common process to maximize the yield of ethanol, it is not without its disadvantages. Large amounts of energy are required to gelatinize
the starch granules in the hydrolysis step. This step eats up about 30 to 40 per cent of all energy spent during the ethanol production process. Also, a large amount of alphaamylase is used in starch hydrolysis, which can account for up to 11 per cent of the total annual operating expenses of a cold starch hydrolysis plant. In addition, during the pre-cooking process, special equipment such as heat exchangers, steam jet cookers and holding tanks are required. These combined factors make the production process complicated and expensive, thereby limiting bioethanol’s ability to be an inexpensive and reliable alternative to fossil fuels. During the last 30 years, researchers have looked to reduce the costs associated with the production of bioethanol. As an example, the development of cold starch hydrolysis has greatly reduced the thermal energy used in the precooking step mentioned above. Researchers have also taken advantage of the rapid development of DNA recombinant technology to develop genetically modified yeast strains with amylolytic activity that use starch
for proliferation and fermentation, greatly reducing the operation, equipment and enzyme costs associated with bioethanol production. For the purposes of this study, recombinant yeast was developed that secretes highly active barley alpha-amylase enzyme into a growth media, leading to starch hydrolysis in areas surrounding the yeast. This enables the yeast to both convert starch into sugars and use these sugars. Researchers also used garden fertilizer and a blended yeast nutrient solution to develop a new liquid medium formulation that was 10 per
cent of the cost of standard yeast media currently used to produce ethanol. The new, recombinant yeast was compared to wild yeast in terms of the amount of biomass and ethanol it produced under fermentation. The researchers found that their new, inexpensive medium combined with the recombinant yeast produced a comparable quality and quantity of ethanol as the expensive medium with wild yeast. The Agriculture Development Fund provides funding to institutions, companies and industry organizations to help them carry out research,
development and valueadded activities in the agriculture and agri-food sector. The results produce new knowledge, information and choices in technologies, techniques and varieties for farmers, ranchers, processors and input suppliers, to improve the competitiveness of Saskatchewan’s agriculture sector. In 2013, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada committed $9.9 million in new funding for 61 ADF research projects through Growing Forward 2, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative.

Calves, cold and colostrum
The weather tends to be unpredictable during calving season, and most livestock producers can count on some cold, wet weather. Several management techniques can help ensure that calves stay warm and dry. Wet and cold can be a deadly combination, especially for newborn calves. Cold stress can increase a calf’s susceptibility to diseases like scours, pneumonia and navel infection. Portable windbreaks or permanent shelterbelts in your calving area provide protection. Adequate bedding encourages cows to lie down, and can also help reduce frozen ears, tails and feet on newborns. Checking the cows frequently during cold weather makes you aware sooner of any problems that may be brewing. If calves become hypothermic, they need to be warmed up. Once the calf is warm and stable, it should be returned to the cow and monitored. Calving difficulties during cold weather mean more stress on the cow and calf. Newborn calves do not have fully developed immune systems. Colostrum, the first milk, is rich in proteins and antibodies required for immune function and disease resistance. Older cows tend to have greater colostrum antibody
concentration due to greater disease exposure; however, good nutrition before calving increases the quality and quantity of colostrum and subsequent milk production. Vitamin E is important because it improves colostrum quality, immune function and reproductive performance. A deficiency can result in retained placentas, reduced fertility and poor growth rates. Vitamin E is expensive but necessary, especially six weeks prior to calving and through to re-breeding. One of the best ways to prevent chilling in calves is to make sure they have nursed shortly after birth. The calf must nurse and receive colos-
trum within the first 12 hours of its life; after 24 hours, the calf’s digestive system is not able to absorb the large proteins and antibodies in the colostrum. During cold, wet weather, pregnant or lactating cows will require more feed for fetal growth, milk production and maintenance as well as staying warm. Calves born to undernourished cows have fewer energy reserves than those born to well-fed cows in good condition. Newborn calves need to be dried off and allowed to nurse soon after birth in order to maintain an adequate core temperature and have sufficient energy.

Changes make vaccines important In 2012, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that, effective April 1, 2013, its staff would no longer provide disease control or response activities for anthrax. In addition, CFIA staff would no longer conduct risk assessments, collect and submit samples or continue animal control activities such as quarantines for rabies cases effective April 1, 2014. Both these diseases can be transmitted from animals to humans. Both diseases can also be prevented with vaccination. There is a risk of anthrax throughout most of the province. Producers should discuss this risk with their veterinarians and vaccinate as needed. Herds on pastures where anthrax has occurred before should always be vaccinated. Since the CFIA no longer covers the cost of proper carcass disposal, vaccination has become even more cost-effective. Bison producers, in particular, can experience very high losses from anthrax, making vaccination even more critical in this species. The provincial anthrax control program, introduced last year, will continue. Rabies vaccination is prudent for any pets or animals having regular

contact with people. This includes cats, dogs, horses and even 4-H animals. Rabies virus is transmitted through saliva, usually by bites. Wild animals such as skunks, or sometimes bats, can infect unvaccinated domestic animals. Rabid dogs and cats can infect people via bites or scratches or even licks on broken skin. Rabid horses, cows and sheep are less likely to transmit the rabies virus, but because a common clinical sign is choking or trouble swallowing, people can become exposed when they examine the animal’s mouth. The best rabies prevention is vaccination. No one should approach animals that are behaving strangely. Gloves should always be used when examining sick livestock. Most importantly, any animal bite should be reported to public health so that the risk of rabies can be determined. Quick postexposure treatment can prevent rabies in people; once clinical signs develop there is no cure. Watch for more information on a replacement provincial rabies program, but meanwhile contact your veterinarian to arrange for rabies vaccination of animals with which you are in close contact.

Canada-Korea Free Trade deal good for Sask. Canada’s Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood, Gerry Ritz recently held an event in Saskatoon to highlight the many benefits the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement will bring to businesses and workers in Saskatchewan. He also announced his intention to lead a large delegation of agriculture groups on a trade mission to South Korea next month. Earlier, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Park Geunhye of South Korea announced the conclusion of negotiations on this new free trade agreement. The Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement
will make Canadian exports more competitive in the South Korean market by levelling the playing field for Saskatchewan businesses that are competing against exporters from countries that already have preferential access. Saskatchewan stands to benefit significantly from preferred access to the South Korean market. Saskatchewan’s agricultural exports to South Korea were worth an annual average of $149.5 million from 2010 to 2012, and were led by wheat, canola oil, un-roasted barley malt, animal feed, rye and pork. The Canada-Korea Free Trade Agree-
“Both Canada and Saskatchewan stand to prosper by being well positioned in Asia.” ment will eliminate tariffs on 86.8 percent of agricultural tariff lines, including rates of up to 30 percent on pork and pork products. The Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement is a landmark achievement: it is Canada’s first free trade agreement in Asia, one of the fastest growing and most dynamic regions
in the world. South Korea is not only a major economic player and a key market for Canada; it also serves as a gateway for Canadian businesses into the AsiaPacific region. Quick Facts Canadian agricultural exports to South Korea currently face
high tariff rates, which averaged 52.7 percent in 2012. South Korea is an important economic partner for Canada, with an economy of $1.1 trillion and a population of 50 million. The Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement is projected to boost Canada’s economy by $1.7 billion and increase Canadian exports to South Korea by 32 percent. On the day the agreement comes into force, Canadian businesses will immediately benefit from South Korea’s removal of duties on 81.9 percent of tariff lines. Once the agreement is fully imple-
mented, South Korea will have removed duties on 98.2 percent of tariff lines. Canadian businesses will benefit from the same access to the South Korean market as their competitors, notably those from the United States and the European Union. Quotes “Both Canada and Saskatchewan stand to prosper by being well positioned in Asia. This trade agreement will tap unrealized potential and create jobs and opportunities for our businesses and workers, particularly in the agriculture sector here in Saskatchewan,” concludes Ritz.
Foraging into the future Country Gov’t of Canada – What are the best combinations of native and introduced forage species for enhancing forage production on the Canadian Prairies? Researchers at AAFC’s Semiarid Prairie Agriculture Research Centre (SPARC) are looking to answer that question. Led by Dr. Mike Schellenberg, a Range and Forage Plant Ecologist, the team aims to find ways to use perennial forage plants that have a proven track record in surviving the extremes of the prairie climate. The Goal One of the priorities of the recently announced Beef science cluster is to help cattle producers raise more beef with fewer resources – in part by reducing production costs and increasing feed efficiency. In an effort to increase forage and grassland productivity by 33%, Dr. Schellenberg’s research will seek to increase yields and nutritional quality of perennial forage species through plant breeding, as well as improve pasture, forage and grazing management techniques. The project builds on previous species selection work and will evaluate a number of native and tame species combinations to identify ones with improved seed yield and forage value. Dr. Schellenberg’s team will evaluate a number of species, including nodding brome, blue bunch wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, side oats gramma, little blue stem, purple prairie clover and white prairie clover - all of which were developed through AAFC’s breeding program. Several species that have never been examined before, including ascending milkvetch, slender milkvetch and American vetch, will also be included in the study. In addition to the native species, introduced species such as hybrid brome and alfalfa will be selected for improved drought and production characteristics. Side oats gramma is grown in
SPARC’s greenhouse and then evaluated for its ability to withstand various environmental conditions. Benefits of Native Species Fittingly, many of the species studied in this project were initially of interest as reclamation species, and are only now being examined from a forage standpoint. This makes sense, since native grass species are inherently more resilient to changes in their environment. They’re already suited to the environment, and their plant populations have great genetic variability. This increased variability allows some plants in the population to survive even under extreme conditions, such as prolonged periods of drought. Native species can be as good as, if not better than, introduced species both from a biomass production and nutritional quality perspective. Integrating these species into modern grazing and forage production systems could provide more stable forage production and pasture management. The perennial forage species mentioned above, along with a few others from greenhouse trials, will then be combined into various groupings and assessed at several locations throughout the prairie region. The researchers will also determine benefits of purple prairie clover for nutritional value for optimizing herd health. This portion of the study will use ongoing grazing trials at SPARC using yearling steers. The results of the study will lead to recommendations for better forage mixtures for greater genetic diversity and a more resilient landscape. The Beef Cattle Industry Science Cluster is a partnership between Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) to ensure that applied beef research funds are allocated to research priorities and activities that have the greatest potential to benefit the competitiveness of Canada’s beef cattle industry.

Fight cholesterol with flax
Gov’t of Canada – Don’t let the tiny size of flaxseed fool you, big things truly do come in small packages! Making flax a part of your daily diet can help reduce cholesterol, a major risk factor for heart disease. This new health claim, based on scientific evidence, has just been accepted by Health Canada making Canada the first country in the world to permit food labels to state that the daily consumption of 40 grams of ground (milled) flax is shown to help lower cholesterol. The review and analysis of this evidence was petitioned by the Flax Council of Canada and commissioned by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Touted for its health benefits as far back as 3,000 years ago, this blueflowered plant which grows in the cool, northern climates of the western Canadian prairies has long been a staple of human diets in many regions of the world. Loaded with omega-3 fatty-acids, vitamins and a unique combination of fibres, flax has quickly become a
preferred choice among those demanding healthy, nutritious and delicious food options. This wide-reaching popularity has helped Canada become the international leader in the production, processing and export of high quality flax seed — a position it has held since 1994. Statistics Canada reported that Canadian flax production totalled 489,000 tonnes in 2012 of which it exported about 86% to 61 countries. Recognition of flax as a heart-smart choice could help spur even further development and export of new products containing flax. The flax plant is harvested for its seeds which can then be ground and eaten, offering many nutritional benefits. While whole flax seeds are used in many foods, grinding or milling makes their nutrients easier for our bodies to absorb. Sprinkling ground flaxseed on your morning yogurt, oatmeal, and cereal, or adding it to your smoothies and muffins are all easy and tasty ways to get a major health boost!

Biomass Furnace - a landmark innovation in energy Gov’t of Canada – Heating the farm just got a whole lot greener! Researchers at the Agroforestry Development Centre in Indian Head, Saskatchewan are about to unveil the woody biomass furnace, a landmark innovation in alternative energy, July 7 at the Agroforestry Development Centre’s 2011 Open House. “We’re really excited about this new technology and what it means for farmers across Canada,” says Ian Pickering, project manager at Agriculture and AgriFood Canada’s Agroforestry Development Centre. Along with his colleagues, Pickering will be studying the biomass furnace over a three-year period in hopes of determining its viability as a heating option for the farm. The furnace uses woody biomass – trees and shrubs grown in agroforestry systems as fuel for heat. The Agroforestry Development Centre is currently growing and harvesting
willows to be used as fuel. Willows are a renewable energy source harvested every three to five years and grow back without replanting. The willows are harvested using a modified baler that cuts and bales the willows in a single pass. The bales are then allowed to dry, and after six months are ready to be processed. They are dropped into a haybuster tub grinder to be made into chips. The resulting chips become fuel for the furnace. Here’s how it works: Wood fuel is combusted in a biomass boiler that heats the water. The hot water is then transferred from the biomass boiler to a heat exchange which the existing system uses to heat the building. If there is insufficient heat in the water coming from the biomass boiler, then the natural gas systems will provide supplemental heat. The biomass boiler will offset 90 per cent of the natural gas used in the
existing boiler. This furnace is the first of its kind at Agriculture and AgriFood Canada, and is the product of over six years of planning and research. Ultimately,
researchers hope to use the biomass furnace as the main source of heating for the 43,000 square-foot Agroforestry Development Centre, with natural gas as a back up. The fur-
nace has the potential to offset $40,000 worth of natural gas usage and approximately 300 tonnes of carbon dioxide. “We’re hoping one day that rural communities will be able to use biomass furnaces to heat multiple buildings at the same time,” adds Pickering. “For the agricultural sector, producers will be able to heat their entire farm operation.” In the end, the biomass furnace is another means of investigating the long-term sustainability and management of agroecosystems. The results of this research will determine how farmers can balance economic objectives while managing their land in a sustainable manner. Although an initial investment is required, between $200,000 and $300,000 depending on size, farmers will be able to incorporate biomass utilization into their farm operation using existing tractors to bale, and hay grinders
to chip the wood. In the end, farmers will benefit environmentally and economically in the long term by reducing their natural gas bill and their carbon footprint because woody biomass fuel burns cleaner. The biomass furnace was built by the Viessmann Group, a family company based in Austria where they have been building and using bio-energy heating systems for over 30 years. The remaining components of the system were manufactured and installed into the shipping container by Fink Machine Inc, a Canadian company based in Enderby, B.C. This pilot project is just one innovation among many at the Agroforestry Development Centre, which has been planting trees in agricultural landscapes for 110 years. The centre promotes environmental and economic benefits of integrating trees with agricultural systems through agroforestry research and development.
Wind study to give farmers more management options Gov’t of Canada – Nitrogen is an essential nutrient required by all crops so Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) scientists are exploring innovative ways to make sure crops can access more applied nitrogen to help them grow and thrive. A comprehensive, multi-year AAFC project is using wind tunnel technology to better understand, predict and prevent nitrogen loss from soils and increase the amount available to crops. Lead scientist, Dr. Craig Drury, of AAFC’s Greenhouse and Processing Crops Research Centre (GPCRC), is looking at two of the most common sources of applied nitrogen (urea granules and urea-ammonium nitrate), in combination with and without nitrogen inhibitors, and various methods of application (broadcasting, stream-
ing and injection) to determine the best way to make nitrogen available and accessible to the crop. Dr. Drury will study the distribution and fate of applied nitrogen in the crops, soil and air under the nine combinations of source and method application. “The wind tunnels enable us to compare different treatments while maintaining a consistent and average wind speed that is typical for the region. They also help to direct the path of wind so that we can take a sample of air before it goes over the soil surface that has received nitrogen fertilizer and after it passes over the soil surface,” explains Drury. “This is the ‘gold’ standard by which ammonia volatilization, or nitrogen loss, is measured at a plot scale.” Nitrogen loss is not only detrimental to both the crop and environment
but represents a major economic loss to the farmer. Providing innovative management options will not only improve nutrient use but will increase profitability of crop production. “Nitrogen fertilizers account for over 70 per cent of the fertilizer used in Canada,” explains Drury. “It is extremely important that we investigate and promote new strategies to decrease nitrogen losses from agricultural soils and increase the amount of nitrogen available to crops to provide food and fiber for a growing population.” The second phase of this project will include identifying ideal timing and optimal rates of nitrogen application. “The knowledge that is generated from this project will aid farmers and agri-businesses in their day-to-day decisions regarding nitrogen manage-
ment. It will explain how, why and under what conditions options are effective,” notes Drury. “This information has the potential to change management practices at the farm level.” One of the key goals of AAFC research is to enhance the environmental performance of the Canadian agricultural system while optimizing productivity, including the development of best management practices. The GPCRC is part of AAFC’s national network of research centres. Located in Harrow, Ontario, the Centre develops and transfers new technologies for the production and protection of greenhouse and field crops and conducts research to improve the quality and sustainable use of Canadian soils; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and prevent nutrient losses in soil from agricultural fields.

Microorganisms: an eco-friendly way to grow Gov’t of Canada – Dr. Chantal Hamel is passionate about organisms humans can’t see with the naked eye. Her goal is to improve crops by managing tiny microorganisms found in soil and the plants themselves. These organisms have the potential to increase crop yields while allowing for a reduction in the use of fertilizers. Dr. Hamel, who earned her Ph.D. in crop physiology from McGill University, has performed her research at the Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre (SPARC) in Swift Current, SK since 2003. Her area of expertise is plant microbiol-
ogy, the study of how microscopic organisms harm or benefit plants. The world’s population is now at seven billion and growing and demand for food is growing with it. Farmers use fertilizers to increase yields, but the resources used to make fertilizers – phosphate and fossil fuels – are nonrenewable and their use can pose environmental challenges. “In nature, you have plants that do perfectly well and they aren’t cared for with fertilizer or pesticide,” comments Dr. Hamel. “They are not planted in rows, protected, or irrigated. How come our crops are not more efficient?”
Dr. Hamel is working to answer that question using endophytes, bacteria and fungi that live in the plant without causing disease. Endophytes are diverse, and can potentially stimulate crop growth. Most of them have not yet been identified by scientists, so their full potential remains to be discovered. Once an endophyte is identified as beneficial, it is called a “plant-growth-promoting microorganism.” Dr. Hamel and her colleagues at SPARC have already identified three types of bacteria with promising results. When a chickpea plant is stressed due to drought, flooding, dis-
ease, or excessive heat, it produces ethylene gas, which hinders growth. However, with the addition of the three bacteria the plants produce less ethylene when they’re stressed, so growth is less likely to slow. The three bacteria recently discovered by Dr. Hamel and her colleagues are not yet well understood by scientists. There are, however, soil bacteria, such as Rhizobia, that have been studied thoroughly and are well recognized for their contribution to cropping systems. Rhizobia helps legumes, crops such as lentils, chickpeas, and alfalfa, access nitrogen more efficiently, which leads to
improved nitrogen levels in soil. This encourages crop growth. Some scientists suggest using soil inoculants, adding bacteria or fungi to the soil, to improve crop growth. Others, like Dr. Hamel, believe there are plenty of microorganisms already present in the field. We simply need to learn to better manage them. “Plants are amazing organisms,” adds Dr. Hamel. “They can’t walk away when there’s danger so, instead, they produce lots of phytochemicals – naturally occurring chemical compounds. That’s why lots of medicine comes from plants. They produce different chemicals to
repel foes and call upon microbial friends.” This is why the SPARC wheat breeding program is looking at developing genotypes that have the special ability to benefit from, and multiply beneficial microorganisms in the soil. Farmers wouldn’t have to purchase inoculants to add to the soil because the benefits would already exist in the planted seeds. Similar research is also being conducted using chickpeas. “Before, it was not necessary to worry beyond fertilizer,” says Dr. Hamel. “But now, we must find something else. Now, we have to think of something new.”
