T

he Canadian Grain Com­ mission has announced that as of August 1, 2017, 29 varieties will no longer be eligible for Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) and Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat classes. The list (below) of 25 CWRS and four CPSR varieties includes for­ merly popular varieties such as Katepwa, Harvest and Kane as well as Neepawa, which was once the check variety for the CWRS class.

“In an evaluation of variet­ ies against the revised quality parameters for the CWRS and CPSR classes, the Canadian Grain Commission determined these varieties do not meet the quality characteristics of their current designated class,” the CGC said in a release.

It also said that it would start a review of up to two years of CWRS and CPSR varieties for which more quality data is need­ ed before a decision about their class designation. They will re­ main in their designated classes unless the evaluation shows they do not meet the revised quality parameters. At least two

isplaced bales, crushed crops and chunks of metal scatter fields in the southwest as the area recovers from one of Manitoba’s largest tornadoes in recent years.

A low-pressure system that moved in from Montana sparked the extreme weather, which also doused the Virden area with nearly 75 mm of rain.

Quarter-sized hail was also reported in the Pierson region.

“Debris is being reported from Tilston, all the way to V irden.

According to imagery and a number of reports we received, the tornado was on the ground for at least 2-1/2 hours, maybe even three. This is extraordi­ nary,” said Natalie Hassel, warn­ ing preparedness meteorologist with

Environment Canada. “Tornadoes are generally only on the ground for a few minutes so this was quite the active system.”

No recovery time Area residents were still reeling from the last bout of dramatic weather when the twister ripped through the area.

“We still have water in our base­ ment from the last storm we had so we had to sit on the basement stairwell when it started to look really bad,” said Anne Raynor, owner of a farm that was severely damaged in the storm. “You see storms all the time in the paper or on TV but you never think it’s going to come right through your house.”

Raynor and her husband, Fred were visibly distraught as they looked over the devastated property they had built over the past 50 years.

“You spend your whole life building this and just that quickly it is all gone.

But then you remember that you could be gone too,” said Anne. “We are very lucky.”

Anne was born and raised on the property, located just east of Tilston.

The couple has farmed on the prop­ erty for a number of years while rais­ ing their six children, 17 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

These days the couple’s farming consists of sheep, cattle and chick­ ens, while renting cropland to their son-in-law.

“There is a strip about a quarter-mile wide in my son-in-law’s cornfield that looks as if someone cut it bare,” said Anne. “I had 27 cattle in the corral and after the storm the corral was com­ pletely gone. The cattle were all over See EXTREME WEATHER on page 6 »

CROSSROADS Harvesting the rain Reducing run-off and lowering costs

ith Congress currently debating the repeal of mandatory country-of-origin labelling (COOL) for meat and poultry — federal law in the U.S. since 2002 — new research from the Sam W. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas shines a spotlight on how COOL labelling affects consumers’ purchase decisions.

In “A COOL Effect: The Direct and Indirect Impact of Country-of-Origin Dis­ closures on Purchase Inten­t ions for Retail Food Products,” appearing in the September issue of the Journal o f Re t a i l i n g , Ma r k e t i n g Professors Elizabeth Howlett a n d S c o t Bu r t o n , a l o n g with doctoral candidates Christopher Berry and Amar­ adri Mukherjeeshow, show that consumers are more likely to buy meat that is identified as a U.S. product.

However, in experiments tha t i d e n t i f i e d m e a t a s Mexican in origin, study participants found COOL labelling more acceptable if they were assured that standards for handling meat in Mexico

are equivalent to those in the U.S. According to Professor Howlett, “Given consumers’ limited knowledge of meat-processing procedures and systems, meat products labelled as having been born, raised, and slaughtered in the U.S. are perceived to be safer, tastier, and fresher than products from Mexico.”

The authors suggest that retailers could utilize this information to design promotional programs, either to boost sales of meat sourced in the U.S. or to inform con-

sumers that another country’s standards are equivalent to those in the U.S. They also point out that if the goal of the COOL legislation is to benefit consumers, then it is only partially meeting that objective: “If the USDA is truly striving to help consumers make more informed decisions, it should consider educating con sumers about the outcomes of its international processing system audits,” either through more information on packaging or public service announcements.

Spotted wing drosophila an unwelcome visitor to fruit farms this summer MAFRD began monitoring for SWD in 2013 and this is the worst year yet, says provincial fruit crops specialist

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

A

ltona-area fruit grower Waldo Thiessen knew what was wrong immediately when his U-pick customers started calling back a few hours after their first day in his raspberry patch in mid-July.

“They said they’d started to make jam, and, well, there was a lot of protein (in the raspberries),” he said.

It was larvae of spotted wing drosophila, and an “uh-oh” discovery for the Thiessens, who promptly shut down their raspberry U-pick.

This isn’t the first time they’ve had this tiny fruit fly that lays its eggs in mature, healthy fruit crops show up, but it’s the earliest, said Thiessen, executive director of the Prairie Fruit Growers Association.

“We were not really looking for it at the beginning of July,” he said. “It kind of caught us flat footed. We had a lot of damage.”

“We” isn’t just themselves either. Growers across Mani­ toba have been reporting the same unwelcome visitor.

Spotted wing drosophila (SWD) is a vinegar (fruit) fly of East Asian origin that can damage many crops by piercing healthy fruit and laying its eggs. Early detection is critical because symptoms often do not appear until after the fruit is harvested.

Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development fruit crops specialist Anthony Mintenko said this is the worst year yet for SWD since MAFRD started monitoring for it in 2013.

In 2013 and again last year it showed up in early August after most fruit crops were already harvested. It was also reported only in south-central Manitoba in areas such as the Red River Valley and the Pembina Valley.

This year SWD has been expanding northward and westward since the second week of July.

“This year it’s everywhere and it’s three to four weeks early,” said Mintenko.

“We’ve just kept finding it.

Last week it started showing up in the Brandon area, as far west as Elkhorn, far south as Deloraine and all the way through Glenboro. It’s shown up this week in Grunthal,” he said July 30.

“It hasn’t shown up north of the city (Winnipeg) yet, but I suspect it will be there soon.”

But if your fruit crop harvest is near completion, or you suspect what’s left is already infested, Mintenko is not advising producers to spray at this point in the year, he added.

The key is avoiding another year like this one in 2016 and that means being on watch for it earlier next year, he said.

Growers can monitor for SWD using simple cider vinegar traps, and there are a number of insecticide options for producers to use if they’re detected next year.

MAFRD will continue its surveillance for SWD again next year.

“From here on in it’s going to be a matter of monitoring to determine when people maybe do need to start doing control practices.” lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

We might need 100-bushel canola

T

he Canola 100 Agri-Prize for the first to achieve 100-bushel canola (see last week’s issue) makes for an interesting challenge. Despite a favourable lingering PR image as the “Cinderella crop,” a look at the numbers suggests canola is showing signs of middle age. A few patches in a good growing year might even approach 80 to 90 bushels now, but the Prairie five-year average yield from 2010-14 was 34 bushJohn Morriss els, up just 5.9 per cent from 2005-09. In Editorial Director contrast, yields for boring old spring wheat were up 15.6 per cent over the same period.

Through the Canola Council, the industry has announced a “Keep it coming” initiative — 26 million tonnes and 52 bushels (1.18 tonnes) per acre by 2025. But to achieve that, there would still need to be a one-in-three-year rotation in Western Canada, contrary to the recommended maximum of one in four. At that level, average yields would need to more than double to 70 bushels by 2025. At the current rate of improvement, they’ll only be at 38 bushels.

So farmers and their agronomic partners need to get to work, especially since canola might have problems finding a home on even a quarter of Western Canada’s 65 million crop acres over the next few years. Some of those same agronomic partners have other ideas for those acres. In 2003 Monsanto announced a $100-million breeding program for corn in Western Canada, saying it could occupy eight million to 10 million acres by 2025. And as we reported last week, Pioneer has the same idea, and has launched six new corn hybrids for the Prairies, of which three are ultra-early.

Both those companies are also looking to introduce soybean varieties across the Prairies.

Where are those acres going to come from? Clearly, many will — and should — come from canola. In discussing the launch of the new corn and soy varieties, DuPont Pioneer vice-president Neal Gutterson noted that they will give growers the option of managing canola rotations more sustainably.

And no matter the crop — or its management practices — the word “rotation” is one that we hear more of these days. At one time farmers only needed to rotate crops. Today the need to rotate herbicides, insecticides and fungicides has to be factored into the rotations. In part because crops are now so heavy and high yielding, disease pressure is higher than ever, and new diseases are emerging — especially clubroot, which is a particular threat to canola.

It’s also becoming apparent that just rotating annual crops and their inputs may not be enough to fend off herbicide resistance, so winter cereals and even perennial forage may need to be brought into rotations.

So there’s going to be lots of competition for acres, and canola yields will need to get much higher in order to reach the Canola Council’s ambitious goals. The council and others in the industry have been providing some excellent agronomic support to growers, but to meet those goals, they will need to provide a lot more.

Bad rap for dairy farmers

T

he proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement involves 12 countries representing about 40 per cent of the world’s economy, but some of Canada’s national media coverage would have had you believe that there is only one issue holding it up — access to Canada’s dairy market.

The Globe and Mail was the worst offender — TPP negotiators have done a pretty good job of keeping the talks secret, so in the absence of details or whenever they were stuck for a column topic, writers would fire off a piece on how Canada’s ‘overprotected’ and ‘politically powerful’ dairy farmers were the main sticking point for the deal.

When the talks failed to meet a July 31 deadline last week, it finally emerged that there were other issues at play, such as auto parts and drug patents. The U.S. has done a masterful job of portraying Canadian dairy access as the main sticking point, but it now turns out that virtually every other country opposed the U.S. position on the length of time for drug patent protection. And when it comes to protected agricultural markets, the granddaddy of them all is U.S. sugar, and the U.S. was unwilling to budge on Australian requests for more access.

Whether or not the TPP talks continue, there will be pressure on supply management, especially for dairy. In the short term, Dairy Farmers of Canada has been doing its best to fend off attacks through advertisements and press releases. In the long term, one of the best arguments is that when it comes to herd size, animal welfare and government support, we don’t want the U.S. system.

Maintaining public support for supply management depends on demonstrating that on all those points, our system is better. john.morriss@fbcpublishing.com

GMO labelling may not discourage consumers: Vermont study Study finds labelling actually increased support in some demographic groups University of Vermont release

A

new study reveals that GMO labelling would not act as warning labels and scare consumers away from buying products with GMO ingredients.

The five-year study of Vermont residents focuses on the relationship between two primary questions: whether Vermonters are opposed to GMOs in commercially available food products; and if respondents thought products containing GMOs should be labelled.

Results showed no evidence that attitudes toward GMOs are strengthened in either a positive or negative way due to a desire for labels that indicate the product contains GM ingredients. On average across all five years of the study, 60 per cent of Vermonters reported being opposed to the use of GMO technology in food production and 89 per cent desire labelling of food products containing GMO ingredients.

Responses var ied slightly by demographic groups. For example, given a desire for positive GMO labels, opposition to GMO decreased in people with lower levels of education, in single-parent households, and those earning the highest incomes.

Opposition to GMO increases in men and people in the middle-income category. No changes were larger than three percentage points.

“When you look at consumer opposition to the use of GM technologies in food and account for the label, we found that overall the label has no direct impact on opposition. And it increased support for GM in some demographic groups,” said Jane Kolodinsky of the University of Vermont.

Proponents of the U.S. Senate-bound bill, which if enacted would nullify Vermont’s GMO labelling law that has yet

OUR HISTORY:

to take effect, argue that mandating labels on foods containing GMOs is misleading, because it suggests to consumers that GMOs are somehow risky to eat. Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., co-sponsor of the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act, disagrees, saying, “the consumer can decide whether he or she wants to purchase that product. It’s the market that ultimately decides.”

Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, said the GMO labels were never intended to be a warning, and that Kolodinsky’s study demonstrates that they will not act as such. “But they will provide important information so that consumers who have legitimate health or environmental concerns about GMOs can make informed purchasing decisions,” he added.

Kolodinsky said the findings provide evidence, that in Vermont, GMO food labels would provide consumers with information on which to base their purchasing decisions. Consumers who wish to avoid GMO ingredients would do so, she added, and those who either want GMO ingredients or are indifferent can also make that choice.

“The label would not signal to consumers that GMO ingredients are inferior to those produced using other agricultural production methods,” she said.

“We need more evidence to determine which position is correct,” Kolodinsky said.

“This study adds to the GM labelling evidence by showing that, in the only U.S. state that has passed a mandatory positive GM labelling law, the label will not act as a ‘warning label.’ When only the label is considered, it has no impact on consumer opposition. And there is some evidence that the label will increase consumer confidence in GM technology among certain groups.”

August 1888

T

hese fine specimens of livestock were on offer in the August 1888 issue of The Nor’-West Farmer and Manitoba Miller . Among the topics in that issue was a list of 27 hints for judges of livestock, such as, “Make no scruples in discouraging a purposely overburdened udder; remember you are appointed as teachers,” and, “Discourage a wedgy muzzle and narrow nostrils anywhere.”

Another article suggested the use of Galloway cattle hides as a replacement for buffalo robes, “which can no more be got.”

According to an editorial reprinted from the Ottawa Journal, Ontario Agriculture Minister Drury had delivered a speech in which he worried about the tendency of “higher education” to encourage farmers’ sons to stray off to the cities to earn their living. This was “simply one feature of the present age to materialism — to the worship of money and self-indulgence. The rugged independence which is the glory of the farmer is becoming less enviable to men than it used to be.”

The editorial writer took some exception, observing that there was no reason that farmers could not live the life of a gentleman. He suggested the problem was due to the average farmer working harder than his hired men, and suggested Mr. Drury encourage education in management skills so farmers would realize “the full value of the principle which successful businessmen keep in view — the management for themselves, the drudgery for others.”

The issue also reported the death at age 55 of John Ogilvie, who had managed the branch of the family milling company in Winnipeg.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Life wasn’t necessarily quite that bad There were some better aspects of farming in earlier times, says John Beckham, who still farms near Baldur

By John Beckham

U

sually, when I read something written by Cam Dahl, I have a sense of irritation but his offering in the July 30 (“Agriculture’s best days are ahead, page 4) issue irritated me to the point of a response.

He starts by throwing all those who have nostalgia for the past into the discard. According to him, there was nothing in farming worth mentioning prior to the advent of what is obviously his god, namely science. I have news for him. Science has always been part of farming, in whatever stage it had reached in the society of its time, sometimes good science, and sometimes bad.

Science is merely any body of knowledge systematized and hopefully, verified beyond mere hypothesis. Dahl makes the further outrageous statement that the farm scene prior to his definition of science, “was filled with poverty, hardship, and reduced life expectancy.”

What absolute rubbish! My grandfather homesteaded in 1880, passed through the experience of living in

a soddy, hauling wheat for 20 miles with oxen, survived the ’30s and died at age 86. And he was not unique.

After the searing experience of the ’30s, many farmers by 1950 had new cars and were beginning to acquire tractors and even combines.

The early ’70s were more prosperous than any subsequent time. Dahl writes the way many people nowadays seem to think. Anything prior to the year 2000 is ancient history.

As one who was born at the very dawn of the ’30s, actually put my backside day after day on the hard seat of a two-bottom mouldboard plow at the age of 17, and with nothing but the nodding rumps of five horses for my horizon and plowed all fall, I think I am qualified to comment on the farm community of the time, and I assure you, it was nothing like Dahl says it was. Was there a lot of hard, physical work? You bet there was, and at 85, I still have the muscles to prove it. Dahl makes much of modern farming practices, such as zero till. Certainly, there are some good things to say about such methods. But it cannot be classified as being problem free.

A s I d r i v e by f i e l d s b e i n g farmed zero till, I see large areas

“What the farm community of my youth was full of was people.”

taken over by foxtail barley. Zero-till farming depends heavily on the use of glyphosate, and it is far too soon to classify it as being totally benign.

Indeed it, and a whole honey bucket of other chemicals keep most farmers in a frenzy of spraying from the time they stop seeding until they start combining.

Finally, to the social side of Dahl’s brave new world. I reject his assessment of the state of society, and life, prior to the advent of “science,” whenever he thinks that was. What the farm community of my youth was full of was people. In the part of the country in which my early years were spent, I would guess there were two farmsteads on every section. Many could not be described as anything but prosperous, according

to the meaning of the word in the era it refers to. It is true, there were no 20,000-bushel bins, no gigantic machine sheds, no mountainous tractors or combines, no 100-foot sprayers or air seeders.

But there were handsome barns, beautiful horses and lots of good neighbours. Town, on Saturday night, was the weekly gathering of the community. Those little towns are now becoming ghost towns.

Many have neither a store or a filling station. The countryside is empty.

Many former farmsteads have been obliterated. That the farmers left have become paper millionaires, in no way lessens the frantic treadmill they occupy, to maintain the cash flow that is required to function in Cam Dahl’s utopia. It is interesting that he nowhere refers to some happy representative farmer. Most of his references are to corporations of various kinds. The truth is, farmers have become little more than conduits of wealth, retaining only a very small percentage of the wealth they produce. And I won’t even start on the topic of the ridiculous run-up in farmland prices, and what those prices mean for any young person of limited means, hoping to farm.

Chinese slowdown could affect grain demand After several years of stratospheric growth, China’s economy has hit a rough spot AgResource Company

CHINA’S PORK PRODUCTION

I

t’s a n i s s u e o b s e r v e r s h a v e talked about for years. But in recent weeks it seems to have re a c h e d a t i p p i n g p o i n t — a t least according to general consensus from a cacophony of commentators.

China is slowing down. Its stock market has fallen sharply since mid-June and the government is panicking, leaping into action with a host of supportive measures like closing some share trading for upwards of six months.

A government halting trading is unprecedented, and would never occur in a more free market-oriented economy. Moreover, China has lowered its lending rate four times since the start of the year and cut its reserve requirements in an effort to boost the economy.

Despite all the drama, the actual drop in the Shanghai compos ite does not have a significant wealth impact on all of China.

Nevertheless, our concern is that near-emergency measures offered by the Chinese government may be seen as a signal that it is no longer able to manage GDP growth. The concern is Chinese debt has risen to unsustainable levels, offering new risk to China, which has been trying to shift its economy from one based on exports to one led by consumption.

China has roughly had 1.3 billion people since it installed the “onechild policy” in the early 1970s.

The world agricultural community has been counting on China’s huge population to be the saviour of agriculture. But it was not until

the early 2000s that China became a WTO member and a significant importer of a host of commodities. This growth in Chinese import demand correlates with China’s rapid increase in GDP rates beginning in 2001-02. When China’s GDP rates went from $1,000 per person to nearly $8,000 today, China’s demand for soybeans and a host of other commodities exploded.

The question is whether China’s soaring per-person GDP rates can be sustained for the next five years.

This is the issue everyone involved with global commodity markets should be looking at very closely.

The IMF, in its latest outlook, projects a decline in the rate of growth of China’s total GDP and

in per capita GDP in the coming years. Per capita GDP is projected to increase 7.5 per cent in 2015 and just over six per cent in 2016.

Growth will still occur, but this is notable change from annual boosts in income of 10-30 per cent seen since the early 2000s.

Declining marginal economic growth, coupled with farm policies that encourage production — but also imports — has triggered a huge surplus of commodities in China, most notably in wheat and feed grains. Chinese corn and soymeal futures — solid agricultural indicators — have been in retreat in recent months, with corn having plunged some 20 per cent since early May.

China’s growing appetite for meat during its unprecedented rise has been a boon to global grain and o i l s e e d m a rk e t s, m o s t n o t a b l y soybeans. In recent years, strong Chinese import demand for soy has been the only thing supporting and driving prices higher. But discouraging signals are starting to appear.

According to the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics, pork production in the country fell by five per cent in the first six months of 2015.

The classic assertion that as per capita income continues to grow (albeit at a slower pace) and more people come to urban areas, meat consumption will increase likely still holds true in the case of China.

T h e f i v e p e r c e n t d e c re a s e i n pork production perhaps clouds the larger picture, as some of the decrease can be attributed to natural losses in the pork sector and e v e n a g ov e r n m e n t - l e d c ra c k down on the Chinese tradition of wasteful overconsumption at banquets. Pork prices have recovered recently, and we very well may see a recovery in pork production and consumption over the next six to 18 months.

Still, the unsustainable growth of recent years, along with simply too much supply, has triggered questions surrounding China’s demand for raw materials over the next one to two years.

AgResource Company’s thesis since 2012 has been that adverse weather or much-improved Chinese demand is needed to sustain any lasting agricultural commodity rally.

Weather, of course, is unknown. But increasingly it looks like China will not be a driving factor in 2015 or 2016.

“There were a bunch of dead chickens laying all over the ground. The kids did pick up about 40 that were half-alive and I have about 15 that are living, but I am not sure if they will survive,” said Anne.

years’ notice will be given before any of these varieties are designated to another class, the CGC said.

The changes are part of a “Canadian wheat class modernization” consultation started by the CGC last February. During the consultation, the Prairie Recommending Committee for Wheat, Rye and Triticale, at its annual meeting, changed the check varieties for Canada Western Red Spring wheat and Canada Prairie Spring Red wheat. Changes came into effect on Feb. 26, 2015.

CWRS check varieties now, depending on region, include Glenn, Carberry, Splendour, BW 965, PT 472 and PT 772. CPSR checks are Glenn, AAC Foray, HY537 and 5700 PR. The CGC earlier announced creation of an interim wheat class for Faller, Prosper and Elgin ND wheat varieties, effective Aug. 1, 2015. The CGC said it will consult with stakeholders before deciding whether the class is permanent.

A high-end EF-2 Environment Canada crews were on the ground early on Tuesday to begin surveying the tornado’s path to determine the severity of the storm. “ We do know that a lot of farm buildings have been damaged on the path between Tilston and north of Virden.

We have also seen some pavement that has been ripped up in that same area but I don’t have more details on that right now but those are the things we are looking to investigate,” said Hassel.

Since that time Environment Canada rated the twister a high-end EF-2, on the EF-1 to EF-5 scale. Winds were measured between 180 and 220 km an hour and damage was considerable, including torn-off roofs, snapped trees and damaged cropland.

No i n j u r i e s h a v e b e e n reported and most damage was contained to the Raynor property as well as a neighbouring resident.

“It picked the big shed right up and took it off the top of the machinery and dropped it again. It is wild what these storms can do,” said Fred.

“The bright side is that nobody got hurt. But, it is just weird how things can just disappear.

I have never seen anything like this.”

More than a dozen large trees were brought down at the Raynor residence, with six landing on the couple’s home.

“Some of the tin on the siding has bent and we will have to check to make sure none of the framing is cracked. A few people have said that the weight and the shelter of the trees really protected the house,” Anne said.

A lack of power A number of communities within the southwest were without power as the storm removed miles of hydro cables and toppled a number of poles.

“Manitoba Hydro has done an amazing job in getting here and trying to get power back to us as quickly as possible,” Fred said. “It has put in two miles of powerline just near us.”

He added that community support has been a saving grace, as more than 45 people showed up the morning after the storm to help take down trees and begin the process of rebuilding.

“Everybody has been unbelievable in offering support.

We have had people stop in from all over. The response has been amazing. Things like that mean a lot and make this whole thing more bearable,” said Fred.

Isolated events Keystone Agriculture Producers’ District 1 representative, Bill Campbell said that recent extreme weather events seem to be fairly isolated with damage varying pretty dramatically from field to field.

“We managed to miss the storm on Monday night but we did get one through our area on Sunday night,” said Campbell, who farms near Minto. “Around here there have been some buildings lifted and bins knocked over, roofs off of cattle sheds and things like that.

These storms have been pretty spotty and even the rains have been spotty.”

Campbell says most of the damage in his area has been caused by hail.

Corn market plummets after rallying to a one-year high Faced with the realization that a weather market can end as quickly as it began, farmers have the daunting task of figuring out when to sell David Drozd Market Outlook

I

t took the cor n market three weeks to rally 75 cents per bushel and only two weeks to plummet just as far. When markets go down faster than they go up, farmers may have a difficult time taking advantage of a steep market rally like this.

Farmers get busy and may not have got around to checking the markets. After all, the news was bullish, grain prices were rising and the crop was not in the bin, so marketing may not have been foremost on their minds.

However, the market does not wait for anyone. An opportunity to sell can come and go at the blink of an eye, so having a disciplined marketing plan is essential. I realize it may not be easy selling something you don’t have, but this is when opportunities arise. The fact crop conditions were deteriorating was the reason for the weather rally.

Once the weather outlook turned more favourable and crop conditions began to improve, the speculative longs in the market began liquidating their positions.

At first they sell to take profit and preserve capital, and as the market falls further they sell to limit their losses. In this environment the market nosedives regardless of the news.

So faced with the realization that a weather market can end as quickly as it began, farmers have the daunting task of figuring out when to sell their grain. Far mers faced with less-than-average production will have a much higher break-even price per bushel, so innately they are reluctant to sell if the market price is below their cost of production. However, the market doesn’t always provide them with the price they need to be profitable.

In this situation emotions run high and it becomes difficult to make a sound marketing decision. However, by taking a disciplined approach, which involves setting realistic price objectives, farmers can make the most of a difficult situation.

Fibonacci retracement, used in charting and technical analysis, is an invaluable tool for setting reasonable price objectives.

Fibonacci retracement Fibonacci retracement is a method of technical analysis for determining support and resistance levels. It is based on the idea that markets will retrace a predictable portion of a move, after which they will continue to move in the original direction.

After a decline, fibonacci ratios define retracement levels, which forecast the extent of a counter-trend bounce.

To calculate the fibonacci retracement levels, start by finding a significant high to a significant low, which I’ve

illustrated as point A and B in the accompanying chart. From there, prices often retrace the distance by a ratio of 23.6 per cent, 38.2 per cent, 50.0 per cent, 61.8 per cent, or the 76.4 per cent retracement. I tend to focus on the 38.2 per cent, 50.0 per cent, and the 61.8 per cent retracement.

In a declining market, the 61.8 per cent retracement is often the most a market will rebound before resuming the downtrend. This area of resistance can be a good place to make a sale.

I ’v e o b s e r v e d ov e r t h e years these retracement levels often correspond with pre-

I M P O R T A N T N O T I C E

vious areas of support and resistance. The 38.2 per cent retracement level ($4.18), coincides with a previous area of resistance at point C. The 50 per cent retracement level ($4.34), corresponds with a rally high (D). The 61.8 per cent retracement level ($4.51), was once an area of support (E). It is important to note that old levels of support, once breached, tend to become resistance on future rallies.

This is exemplified with the recent rally in corn.

Fa r m e r s w h o i d e n t i f i e d the 61.8 per cent fibonacci retracement level as an area of resistance, took advan-

tage of the opportunity to sell corn before the market turned down.

VIDO-InterVac to develop vaccines against TB and Johne’s Researchers plan release within two years of the project’s completion VIDO-InterVac release The Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac) at the University of Saskatchewan has received $2.9 million from Genome Canada to develop vaccines against bovine TB and Johne’s disease.

Bovine tuberculosis affects the lungs of cattle and bison, and wild species such as deer and elk. It also can be transmitted to humans. Johne’s disease, caused by a related species of bacteria, results in chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract in cattle. It is a particular problem for dairy herds, causing the animals to sicken and sometimes die.

VIDO-InterVac researchers and their collaborators in Canada and Ireland aim to deliver two new vaccines for these costly mycobacterial diseases. The funding, awarded through Genome Canada’s Genomics and Feeding the Future program, is part of a $7.4-million project over four years.

The researchers plan to develop and bring to market vaccines for these costly diseases within two years of the project’s end.

G3 Global Grain Group officially completes CWB deal CWB name is retired as its assets are combined with those of Bunge Canada

BY ROD NICKEL Reuters

G

3 Global Grain Group said July 31 it has closed its investment in CWB, becoming its majority investor, and has renamed the company G3 Canada Ltd. The move clears the way for G3 Global, a joint venture of U.S.-based Bunge Ltd. and Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co., to build new grain-handling facilities at Port Metro Vancouver on Canada’s Pacific Coast and on the Canadian Prairies.

G3 Canada combines the assets of CWB, including a few country elevators, eastern Canadian grain-handling facilities and rail cars, with Bunge’s Canadian grain assets.

“There’s not a lot of overl a p ,” s a i d G 3 C E O K a r l Gerrand. “It’s actually very complementary.”

The company is also developing plans to build a port terminal at Hamilton, Ontario with storage capacity for 50,000 to 60,000 tonnes of grain, he said.

G3 Global’s C$250 million ($192.65 million) purchase of a 50.1 per cent stake in CWB, announced in April, removes a name that long dominated t h e w o r l d g r a i n i n d u s t r y.

t was another quiet time for cattle sales across Manitoba during the week ended July 31. Three auction marts were open for buyers, that saw just 736 head make their way through the rings. Participants said recent rains over the western portion of the province helped improved pasture conditions and may also have convinced ranchers they didn’t need to bring their animals to auction quite yet.

Prices were fully steady, though, for the cattle that did make their way to market, according to Robin Hill of Heartland Livestock at Virden.

“Butchers were a little stronger (due to) the Canadian dollar being under 78 U.S. cents.

With small volumes, they probably shouldn’t be as high as they are. But because of the dollar, Americans are putting really nice trade on the feeder cattle,” he said.

A lot of the plainer bulls showed up last week, according to one of the managers, who noted the majority of the animals sold briskly.

He also said butcher cows traded $4-$5 higher per hundredweight compared to the previous week. A lower-quality offering of Holstein steers also drew heavy interest.

Right now, Hill said, very few producers still have yearlings, due to strong prices offered this spring.

“I think we’re still a month away from volumes increasing. I feel that August is going to be very quiet with the moisture situation pretty good in most spots.”

Virden, he noted, received in excess of three inches of rain after a violent thunderstorm, including a tornado, earlier in the week. Some grain farmers reported losing barns due to extreme winds, but Hill said most cattle producers came through OK. “There were definitely some bins and openfront cattle sheds that were in the wrong spot.”

U.S. expansions A market watcher said he believes the moisture Manitoba has received should allow ranchers to hang on to their animals slightly longer than their western counterparts will.

“I think things are a lot more active farther west than they typically would be, because of the drought and the pasture conditions,” said Tyler Fulton, director of risk management for H@ms Marketing and owner of a cattle operation near Birtle.

Fulton said he sees the path of the Canadian dollar as the biggest short-term factor influencing cattle prices.

“What could affect even a five to seven per cent decline in Canadian cattle prices is if we saw the Canadian dollar pop back up to 82 or 83 U.S. cents,” he explained.

While the U.S. industry continues to forge ahead with expansion efforts, Canadian producers are simply trying to make sure they don’t run out of pasture.

“The biggest margin is on those younger calves, as opposed to the grassing sector. So the first thing that will hit the market is those yearlings, and I think we’ve definitely seen that,” he said.

Until that happens, he said, North American supplies will stay tight, which will keep prices strong.

“I remain optimistic for another six months — it may be closer to a year — after which I think we may see some weakness.”

Longer-term pressure will come from heavier supplies in the U.S. as animal numbers grow, but he estimated that could take as much as two years to really shape the market.

“I’m not convinced we’re seeing a significant shrinking of the Canadian herd just yet,” he concluded.

ew Zealand’s competition regulator said Aug. 4 it had started legal action against two livestock companies and five individuals for price fixing over the introduction of a national animal identity tracing scheme three years ago.

The Commerce Commission said it was alleging that PGG Wrightson Ltd., the local unit of Australia’s Elders Ltd., and five current or former employees of the companies, agreed to fix prices to tag animals and raise associated fees when the scheme was introduced.

PGG Wrightson and Elders were not immediately available for comment.

PGG Wrightson said last month it was facing a possible fine which would be “significant but not materially price sensitive.”

PGG Wrightson, half owned by China’s Agria, is New Zealand’s largest listed agribusiness company and has forecast a rise in operating earnings for the year to June 30.

A mandator y animal identification scheme was set up in 2012 to track electronically all cattle and deer from farm to processing plant for animal health and food safety reasons.

Canola advances ahead of expected market weakness

Average quotes as of August 3, 2015 ($/tonne)

Prairie farmer selling is expected to add pressure Terryn Shiells CNSC

T

he last week of July, and of the 201415 crop year, was a volatile one for the canola market, with prices dropping sharply on Monday and recovering later in the week.

The week started with an $18-per-tonne drop on Monday, followed by modest gains on Tuesday, a mixed market on Wednesday and advances on Thursday and Friday.

Monday’s move brought prices below the key $500-per-tonne level, and the market struggled to move back above it on Thursday, but staged a late-day rally ahead of the long weekend on Friday, bringing the two nearby contracts slightly above $500 per tonne. Canadian markets closed for Terry Fox Day on Aug. 3 while U.S. markets remained open.

There is potential for the canola market to see some further weakness going forward, as heavy farmer selling is expected at harvest time.

With wheat prices so weak, and canola prices still in the more attractive $10- to $11-per-bushel range, canola will be the “cash crop” this fall, as farmers will sell canola to make enough profit to cover their fall and winter expenses.

The long-term market outlook could also be depressed by weakness in the global vegetable oil sector.

In the shorter term, values could spike if the Chicago soy market moves higher. Funds may also start to cover their recently built large short position after the market managed to break and settle above key support on Friday.

Weather leading up to, and during, harvest across Western Canada will be important for

the Canadian market, and help determine price direction in late summer and early fall.

U.S. traders will also be watching U.S. Midwest weather, which has seen some improvements over the past week or two. The return of beneficial warm, dry weather pushed values lower during the week ended July 31.

Soybeans dropped 10 to 25 U.S. cents per bushel, while corn was down 13 to 22 U.S. cents.

Wheat values were also down about 12 to 22 U.S. cents, as the good weather was helping harvest move along for winter wheat, and yield prospects for spring wheat are nearly record large, according to findings from a northern U.S. crop tour.

Export demand news was also important for all three U.S. commodities during the week.

The weekly export sales report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture showed strong demand for corn, wheat and soybeans.

On Friday, a fresh export sale of U.S. wheat was announced by the USDA for an unspecified destination, which prevented further losses in the market.

But China cancelled an order of U.S. soybeans on Friday, USDA said, which was behind some of the week’s total losses in the soy complex.

Going forward, the focus will remain on weather in the U.S., with export demand, domestic demand and weekly crop condition reports also important for market movement.

Economic news will also be watched, as problems in China could lead to softening demand from the country. Furthermore, a strong U.S. dollar would make U.S. commodities more expensive on the global export market.

Western CWRS cash bids soften U.S. futures markets have been trending down

BY TERRYN SHIELLS, COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

C

anada Wester n Red Spr ing (CWRS) wheat cash bids across Western Canada were we a k e r d u r i n g t h e we e k e n d e d July 31, as the U.S. futures markets plunged once again.

Av e ra g e Ca n a d a We s t e r n Re d Spring wheat prices were down by $7 to $26 per tonne over the week, with bids ranging from about $203 per tonne in the Peace Region of Alber ta, to as high as $217 per tonne in Manitoba, according to price quotes from a cross-section of delivery points across Western Canada.

Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but generally held steady, to average about $21 above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between the U.S. dollar denominated futures and the Canadian dollar cash bids.

When accounting for the currency exchange rates by adjusting the Canadian prices to U.S. dollars ($1=US$0.7645 as of July 31) CWRS bids ranged from US$155 to US$166 per tonne. That would put the currency adjusted basis levels at about US$25 to US$35 below the futures.

Looking at it the other way around, if the Minneapolis futures

are converted to Canadian dollars, CWRS basis levels across Western Canada range from $33 to $46 below the futures.

Av e r a g e C a n a d a P r a i r i e R e d Spring (CPRS) bids were weaker as well, with bids $4 to $7 per tonne weaker. CPRS prices came in at about $164 per tonne in Man­i toba, $174 to $175 per tonne in Saskatch­ ewan, and $182 to $187 per tonne in Alberta.

Winter wheat prices were mixed.

Values were up $2 to $6 per tonne to $178 to $180 in Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan, as basis levels improved enough to move prices higher. Weakness in U.S. futures weighed on values in other parts of Western Canada, which were down

by $1 to $3 per tonne to $174 to $187 per tonne.

The September spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, which most CWRS contracts in Canada are based off of, was quoted at US$5.2350 per bushel on July 31, down 21.50 cents from the week prior.

The Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, which are now traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPRS in Canada. The September Kansas City wheat contract was quoted at US$4.9225 per bushel on July 31, down 15 cents from last week.

The Canadian dollar closed at 76.45 U.S. cents on July 31, which was down about a third of a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart.

Rain garden makes wiser use of run-off, beautifies urban areas Rainwater capture takes the load off the drainage system, and provides lower-cost water for gardens

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff / Morden

A

s trip of newly planted trees and shrubs on the east side of the recreation centre in Morden might look merely like landscaping. Wait until it starts to rain.

Then it’s an example of how towns and cities can also help overland flooding and nutrient run-off.

The site at the east side of the Morden Access Event Centre is the city’s first official rain garden, installed this spring in a partnership with the Pembina Valley Conservation District.

A rain garden is a perennial planted area specially designed to harvest or capture and use rainwater that otherwise runs off and can contribute to local flooding.

At the end of Morden’s rain garden is a 2,500-gallon (11,365-litre) tank to serve as a gigantic rain barrel.

Over a season of summer rains, city officials have calculated it will collect roughly 27,000 litres of rainwater, to be used by public works to water all the flowers and other trees and shrubbery around Morden.

That’s water that doesn’t need to come from the tap, said Cliff Greenfield, PVCD manager.

“This is captured rainwater they’ll be using, instead of expensive high-quality potable water,” he said.

The other benefits of the rain garden include groundwater recharge, improving water quality and increasing biodiversity and carbon storage. It looks far better than a barren arena wall and parking lot.

They’re one more way we can begin to drought-proof our communities, says Greenfield, adding it’s hoped the project will inspire homeowners and business owners too.

Wider adoption of rain capture and rain garden projects also means urban areas are contributing to water-management solutions rather than to the problem.

Capturing rainwater is a conservation activity urbanites can become involved with, says Pembina Valley Conservation District manager Cliff Greenfield. PHOTO: LORRAINE STEVENSON

No infiltration through concrete Whether they realize it or not, cities and towns play a role in both run-off and surface water contamination, with their built-up hard-surface areas and general compaction that leave nowhere for rainwater to infiltrate. Instead it’s being sent downstream to overload storm sewers, drainage ditches and streams. That run-off carries its own share of nutrients and sediments, not to mention, oil, gas, and heavy metals.

Adoption of ways to capture and infiltrate water — and use it more wisely — is a way to help prepare for a more sustainable future in drought-prone areas, said Greenfield.

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Morden was part of a Pembina Valley-wide initiative three years ago, when the Blue Water of 2012 looked at long-term prospects for water demand and supply in the region.

The three-year study of water use and supply in municipalities in the PVCD concluded that even though residents use significantly less water than the average Manitoban, their frugality alone won’t prevent a regional water

shortage by 2040. (Area residents use about 30 per cent less water compared to other Manitobans, or 160 litres of water a day compared to a provincial average of 227 litres and the Canadian average of 339.)

But if the region keeps relying on various lakes and reservoirs, groundwater wells and aquifers and while increasing population, it will run short. And prospects of finding new water sources are remote given the potential for a

drier century ahead, the study said.

Morden’s rain garden is one of a series of conservation practices the study recommended, as well as stopping water leakage in homes and industry, introducing efficient appliances and changing public behaviour and practices around water use.

Water conservation also means a longer infrastructure lifespan and lower costs of providing water.

In 2010 the Public Utilities Board mandated municipalities to charge a fee on their utility bills for wear and tear on infrastructure, and earmark the cash in a reserve fund for future repairs.

A practice like a rain garden would have made perfect sense to a previous generation whose use of a cistern to capture water was commonplace, say other PVCD officials.

“Our grandparents understood the value of water and trying to use what resources they had to the utmost and best use. That’s why they had cisterns to capture rainwater,” PVCD chairman and Darlingford-area farmer Murray Seymour said in a news release.

“This rain capture and rain garden project is something we are already doing in rural areas with small- to medium-size dams that hold water back and reduce downstream flooding, and improve water quality downstream as well,” he added.

Morden’s rain garden is not unique, and elsewhere in Manitoba municipalities offer rain garden programs with rebates to those constructing them.

These kinds of demonstration projects are a way conservation districts can work with urbanites to involve them in water management too, Greenfield said. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Prairie fare Try a new sandwich during August which is ‘Sandwich Month’ julie gardenrobinson Food and Nutrition Specialist NDSU Extension Service

A

s I was eating a “fancy” grilled cheese sandwich the other day at a hotel restaurant, I thought of the grilled cheese sandwiches of my childhood. The hotel sandwich had some kind of cream sauce, about five kinds of cheese and sliced tomatoes inside. I paid way too much for it.

Although I usually eat almost anything, I scraped the cream sauce to the side because it was kind of a strange addition that made the bread mushy. The tomatoes were a nice addition, although I would have preferred them in soup.

When I was a kid, my favourite grilled cheese sandwiches were made with homemade bread cut fairly thin and buttered on the outside. We called them “toasted cheese sandwiches,” which is common in older cookbooks.

We cut slices of cheese from a threepound block of cheese and cooked them in a 1950s-style electric frying pan until the bread was crispy and light brown on the outside. When I cut the sandwich in half to form two triangles, the warm, melted cheese formed long strings that stretched from the plate all the way to my mouth.

Along with our sandwiches, we always had tomato soup, home-canned peach sauce and cups of homemade cocoa with little marshmallows. We drank the steaming cocoa from special brown mugs. I guess the cocoa was my mom’s special touch on a simple menu.

What’s your favourite sandwich? August is National Sandwich Month and an excellent time to try some different sandwiches.

Sandwiches have been around for centuries. Most people give John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, credit for naming our popular menu item in 1765, according to food history information at http://www. foodtimeline.org. This busy man wanted an easy way to eat at his desk.

By the early 1900s, sliced bread was available in American bakeries, and this made sandwiches a portable meal.

I always thought my mother invented the menu of grilled cheese sandwiches paired with tomato soup. Turns out, this sandwich combination became popular post-Second World War in school cafeterias because the tomato soup was the source of vitamin C on the menu. Tomato soup and cheese sandwiches also are easy to prepare and the flavours work well together.

Some people like hot sandwiches and others prefer cold. Maybe you enjoy peanut butter and jelly, grilled cheese, a pita stuffed with tuna salad, a bacon, lettuce and tomato (BLT), a “Po Boy,” a French dip or a veggie and cheese panini pressed in a grill. The options are endless.

Sandwiches usually consist of bread with fillings, but some people use lettuce as the outer layer. Save some money by bringing a sandwich to work instead of going out to eat.

Here’s how to create a sandwich with healthful ingredients: • Begin with a whole grain base, such as whole wheat bread, tortillas, pita bread or buns.

Whole grains provide fibre, vitamins and minerals. Try to make at least half of your grain choices whole grains.

• Add a spread to your bread if you like. Try some mustard, hummus, guacamole or light mayonnaise. Go easy on the butter or regular mayonnaise because these ingredients add calories without much nutritional value.

• Add your favourite fillings. How about some chicken salad made with leftover grilled chicken? Choose lean proteins, and compare the sodium values of deli meats using the Nutrition Facts labels.

• Pile on the veggies and/or fruits. Add some spinach, cucumber and tomato slices, chopped onion or grated carrots. Try sliced bananas on a peanut butter sandwich. Add

some dried cranberries to a chicken salad sandwich.

• Want more inspiration? Visit https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/food and type “7 Steps to Creating a Sandwich” in the search box.

Check out our other resources, such as the free online newsletter at our Nourishing Boomers and Beyond website (https://www. ndsu.edu/boomers).

If you regularly have sandwiches for lunch or dinner, you can save time later by freezing some sandwiches. However, some popular sandwich ingredients (eggs, jelly, tomatoes, pickles, onions, mayonnaise) do not freeze well. Sandwiches made with peanut butter, cooked meats (chicken, roast beef, turkey), shredded hard cheese (cheddar, Swiss) and canned meats (tuna, salmon) freeze well.

Add fresh veggies and toppings right before eating.

You can prepare the sandwiches and place them in zip-top freezer bags. Be sure to label the bags with the contents and date. Next, freeze the sandwiches in a single layer on a tray. When solidly frozen, place the individual bags in a larger freezer bag and freeze. Thaw the sandwiches in your refrigerator and enjoy.

Here’s a tasty sandwich my students tried in our food lab. They were a hit, and you can use fresh local produce from farmers’ markets or your own garden.

Thai Chicken Wraps 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 4 oz. Thai peanut sauce 8 whole wheat tortillas 4 c. lettuce, shredded 2 large carrots, cut into thin strips or julienne 1 cucumber, seeds scraped out, cut into strips 4 tbsp. cilantro leaves 4 to 8 tbsp. peanuts, chopped Salt and pepper, to taste

Pound the chicken, until flat, in a zip-top bag or between two pieces of plastic wrap. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then grill or sauté until done. Slice into thin strips. Lay a whole wheat tortilla on a cutting board. Add lettuce, chicken pieces, carrot and cucumber strips and cilantro leaves. Drizzle on a good amount

of peanut sauce, then sprinkle on some peanuts. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Roll up the tortilla tightly, slice in half and serve.

Combating garden pests — Part 2 Home remedies to aid in the fight

By Albert Parsons

Stran Dunham credits his parents for his love of the sport

Freelance contributor

B

esides good cultural practices, gardeners can combat pests in the garden without using synthetic chemicals by creating some homemade remedies. These concoctions are effective; they just take a bit of time and effort to make.

They are, however, pesticides — albeit natural ones — and will kill beneficial insects as well as pests, so they should be used judiciously and only on the plants suffering an infestation.

Many gardeners use commercially produced insecticidal soap and many home remedies are similar in that they contain a natural insecticide, water, and either mineral oil and/or dishwashing soap as the ingredient that allows the remedy to stick to the insects and kill them by smothering. The simplest recipe is: add 1-1/2 teaspoon of liquid dish soap to 2 litres of water; mix well and spray on intended targets. Most of these natural remedies are contact insecticides and the liquid must come into direct contact with the insect to kill it.

A pyrethrum-based remedy can be made by soaking some crushed, dried pyrethrum flowers in water and using the resulting liquid as a spray.

Another effective insecticide uses garlic. Combine 2 tablespoons of finely crushed garlic with 2 teaspoons of mineral oil, 1/4 teaspoon of liquid dish soap and 1/2 litre of water. Strain and store in a tight-lid container. Use 4 tablespoons of the concoction in 1 litre of water to create an effective spray.

Ni c o t i n e - b ased insecticides also work well. Soak 1/4 cup of tobacco (tobacco from old cigarette butts works fine) in 1 litre of water; add a couple of drops of liquid dish soap and strain. Use the

mixture as a soil drench to combat slugs, root maggots and fungus gnats or spray on the foliage of infested plants.

The spray should not be used on the edible parts of plants.

The tomato is a member of the nightshade family, whose members are often poisonous. Make a spray to combat aphids by soaking 1 cup of crushed tomato leaves in 1 cup of water. Strain the mixture and add another 1/4 cup of water and use as a spray.

A mixture of 2-1/2 cups of strong coffee with 1 cup of liquid derived from soaking 1 cup of crushed yarrow leaves in 1 cup of water will produce another home remedy. A few drops of dish soap added to the strained mixture will allow the liquid to adhere to the insects.

Old coffee grounds scattered on the carrot row will deter carrot fly.

For waging war against slugs: soak 1 cup of crushed artemisia (silver mound will do) in 1 litre of water for a day or so. Add 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap and strain. Use 1 part concentrate and 4 parts water and spray it on the soil.

Do not spray plants with this as it may damage them.

In the fight against insect pests, keep in mind that close observation and diligence will go a long way in preventing serious infestations. If lily leaf beetles or Colorado potato beetles are found in the garden, hand-picking the adults and leaves that have eggs on their undersides will effectively control the invasion. An infestation of aphids can often be terminated by spraying the affected plants with a strong jet of water from the garden hose. Handpicking slugs in early morning and placing traps or boards under which they will gather will assist you in controlling these awful pests.

Remember — prevention and early intervention are key to controlling insects in the garden.

Albert Parsons writes from Minnedosa, Manitoba

tran Dunham — a rookie in the Junior High division of the Manitoba High School Rodeo Association (MHSRA), had his excitement for ropes and rodeo carved into him, thanks to his parents, Sheena and Kevin Dunham of Souris.

His mom was among the first high school rodeo competitors from Manitoba to cross over into Saskatchewan in the early 1990s, and made the team going to Oklahoma City to compete in the National High School Rodeo Finals.

“I’m very proud of my mom and dad, as they both have competed at high school, amateur and professional rodeos in their events of barrel racing, tie-down roping and team roping,” said Dunham. “Thanks to them rodeo is a blessing in which I have grown up around and now, as a Grade 7 student at Hartney, am able to compete in a number of boy’s events.”

Those events don’t only require a lariat (breakaway roping, ribbon roping and team roping), but also quick hands with goat tying being his favourite.

Stran Dunham has a passion for goat tying.

“At this level, striving to do my personal best, I find goat tying to be a lot of fun,” said Dunham. “Rodeo allows me the chance to hook up and compete with friends my own age.

“I h a v e t w o f a v o u r i t e competitors — my dad, a p a s t C a n a d i a n C ow b oy s Association champion and Tuf Cooper, a world champion tie-down roper,” said Dunham.

By watching his parents cherish the sport of rodeo, Dunham has come to realize that rodeo is more than an athletic event. It’s a show that allows camaraderie to be developed between participants, personal goals to be made and met, and a lifestyle that highlights an impression of the western heritage.

Education on roping and riding has come through his parents, but other points in life’s lessons and sports involvement come from teachers and coaches.

Dunham is an all-around athlete, involved in hockey, baseball and badminton.

He is also an avid outdoor sportsman, involved in hunting, trapping, and fishing.

Stylish, affordable entertaining Decorating for a special event doesn’t have to be expensive CONNIE OLIVER Around the House

M

y husband and I recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, and our decorating ideas were stylish and affordable that could be used for any special event.

Invitations I didn’t want to invite guests by email or text to this event. At the dollar store I found a wedding invitation set embossed with a silver design. It included invitations with silver-lined envelopes, programs, and place cards on good-quality paper for $3. I printed on the invitations on my computer in a light-grey (silvery) font, and used the programs to print photos of us over the years, which went on each dinner table.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for at the dollar store check out a local thrift store. There are often unopened packages of party invites for various events.

People often buy more than they need and end up donating new packages to the thrift store. You can also purchase decorative printer paper and use your computer to create a great invitation.

Tables If you are using a large rented room you’ll want the tables to be dressed in a similar fashion. I used round plastic tablecloths from the dollar store — not very heavy — but once all of the tables were draped they did the trick. If you’re entertaining a smaller affair at home, use linen cloths if you have them and they fit the event. Even items like inexpensive white shower curtain liners could work.

You’d have to trim off the top grommets/ holes and put the curtains briefly in the dryer to get out the fold marks.

Centrepieces were created from items from the thrift store and silver lids from take-out food containers.

Centrepieces For centrepieces I collected 25th anniversary dishes from the thrift store for a few months prior to the party and put a tea light inside each one. I placed these centrepieces on a silver disc, which were actually takeout food lids! (Anything silver was fair game.)

Around some of the centrepieces I draped vintage silver necklaces, which I also found at the thrift store for a few dollars. Any decorative items you have on hand could work, such as old jewelry, Christmas decorations (silver balls and bells for a 25th celebration), small game pieces or children’s toys for a baby shower.

For a wedding or baby shower use vintage matching teacups and saucers in a mix of patterns and styles, place a fresh flower or tea light in each, and set on a paper doily.

I happened to find a few bags of silver, star-shaped confetti at the thrift store, which I also put around some of the centrepieces for our anniversary.

Another fun idea is to use large mason jars filled with water and pussy willow branches. Mason jars can be found in

I might have spent $30 to $40 on all of these items, and I donated the dishes back to the thrift store once the party was over.

abundance at the thrift store and you don’t have to worry about needing lids.

Use food colouring in the water if you have a specific colour scheme in mind.

Guest book table For our party I bought a leftover roll of silver foil wrap at the thrift store and used it to drape the guest book table. In the centre of this table I placed a large ceramic Hershey Kiss-shaped dish that I bought at a second-hand shop for 10 bucks and filled it with silver Hershey Kisses. The dish sat on a silver tray that I got — you guessed it — at the thrift store.

We had a light lunch including punch served in a punch bowl from the thrift store. At the dollar store I purchased a plastic, silver ladle to serve the punch. I found silver-accented paper plates, cups and napkins at the dollar store that went with the theme. We had coffee and tea and I just happened to find a creamer, sugar bowl and tray set with a 25th anniversary on it at the thrift store. Sugar cubes with silver tongs from the dollar store finished the look.

At the thrift store I also bought 25th anniversary silver balloons and a new seven-foot silver anniversary banner to help with the decorations.

I might have spent $30 to $40 on all of these items, and I donated the dishes back to the thrift store once the party was over.

Entertaining friends and family can be an enjoyable endeavour. Plan ahead and start gathering items. You’d be surprised what you can find once you have an idea in mind, and I proved that it doesn’t have to be expensive.

Co-operator barn series revival Do you know this barn?

I

f you do, a Manitoba historian wants to hear from you. In early 1981 the Co-operator worked with provincial Manitoba Historic Resources Branch staff to photograph and publish a series on rural buildings in Manitoba. Each week a photo and a story were published about why each of the buildings were rare or unusual.

Now Gordon Goldsborough, webmaster and journal editor with the Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is looking for Co-operator readers’ help to relocate these barns. He has looked for them during road trips in rural Manitoba, but because the site’s location details are scant, he has been unable to find them. He wants to include the buildings, with their GPS co-ordinates on a map of historic sites being prepared for the MHS. This photograph was taken by now-retired Co-operator editor Bob Hainstock who took the photo in the 1980s for the earlier project. Many of the photos were eventually included in Hainstock’s 1986 book Barns of Western Canada: An Illustrated Century.

We are including the original “caption” that ran with his photo, hoping a reader can answer these questions: 1. Does the building still stand?

2. If so, where is it?

3. What are its GPS co-ordinates?

4. What other information can you provide on its state of preservation or other details about its history since the original story in the 1980s?

Please send your responses to Gordon Goldsborough at: email: gordon@mhs.mb.ca Telephone: (204) 474-7469 Mail: 2021 Loudoun Rd. Winnipeg, Man. R3S 1A3.

Like either barns or people of a similar vintage, this structure starts to show its age by changing colour “up top.” In this case, the telltale rusting of shingles has become fairly general after 65 years of rapidly changing climate and dry-set conditions. Built by David McNaughton in 1916, the 80x54-foot barn carries enormous storage capacity for livestock feed. McNaughton came to the district in 1889 and took over property from a mortgage company. He later became a substantial farmer in the district, with the village of Brookdale built on former McNaughton land. The large loft area could hold sufficient feed to winter 100 head of cattle. The cathedrallike upper level shows the strong 8x8-inch beams which frame the barn and were railed to the area from Fraser Valley, B.C. According to original records, the estimated cost of the barn in 1916 was about $3,000. John D. Ramsay currently owns this farm which is little more than a cream can’s throw north of the village.

WEATHER VANE “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.” Mark Twain, 1897

General weather pattern remains the same Issued: Monday, August 3, 2015 · Covering: August 5 – August 12, 2015 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

hile this summer’s weather hasn’t been the easiest to figure out, the weather models have been doing a pretty good job of getting the big picture right.

This was the case once again for last week’s forecast as the upper low stalled out over Hudson Bay as expected, and brought cooler air and afternoon clouds to at least eastern regions over the weekend.

This forecast looks to continue with the slightly coolerthan-average temperatures, as the general upper-level flow remains out of the northwest. Weak high pressure will be in place to start this forecast period, bringing plenty of sunshine along with daytime highs in the low 20s. As this high slides off to the east we’ll see a bit of a rebound in the upper-level ridge on Thursday and Friday that should allow warmer air to move in. An area of low pressure is also forecast to overtop this ridge, bringing increasing clouds along with some showers and thun-

dershowers. The best chances for measurable rain look to be late Friday and into Saturday morning.

Surface high pressure will build in later in the day on Saturday, bringing clearing skies. These clear skies should stick around on Sunday and Monday, with daytime highs expected to be in the mid- to upper 20s.

A t r o u g h o f l ow p re s s u re is expected to develop to our west on Monday, which should result in increasing southerly winds along with a return to more humid values.

This trough is then forecast to push through on Tuesday, bringing the chance of more thunderstorms.

Looking further ahead, there are some signs of the western upper ridge building and pushing eastward, bringing a return to above-average temperatures late next week.

Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 20 to 30 C; lows, 8 to 15 C. Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W. He operates a computerized weather station near Birds Hill Park.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies during July as a percentage of the long-term average.

Thanks to several strong rounds of thunderstorms late in the month, a large part of agricultural Manitoba and Saskatchewan ended up seeing above-average amounts of rain with a large area reporting more than double the average amount (dark blue). The only really dry area during July was in far-northwestern parts of Alberta, where less than 40 per cent of average rainfall was reported.

July continues an above-average trend Let’s expect that persistent western ridge and eastern trough to stick around Who called it?

nother month has come and gone, so that means it’s time to do our monthly look back, then look ahead to see what might be in store for us in August.

As I pointed out at the end of June, during the summer months — or more specifically, our main growing season — a number of us are interested in what’s going on weather-wise right across the Prairies. So, once again, I’ll do a summary of the weather across the Prairies, beginning in Alberta and moving eastward, then we’ll look ahead to see what August might have in store for us here in Manitoba.

The Calgary region reported a mean monthly July temperature of 18.1 C, about 1.5 C above average. Rainfall in this region was around 55 mm, slightly below average. Farther north, in the Edmonton region, the average monthly temperature was 17.2 C, 1.0 C above average. Rainfall was right around average, with about 95 mm falling during the month.

Over in Saskatchewan it was also a warmer-than-average

The Winnipeg region experienced aboveaverage temperatures in July and had the highest mean monthly temperature of all of the Prairies’ stations.

July, with Regina reporting a mean monthly temperature of 19.3 C, about 0.5 C above average. In the Saskatoon re g i o n t e m p e ra t u re s we re about the same, with a mean monthly reading of 19.4 C, almost a full degree above its average. Rainfall amounts were fairly generous thanks to heavy thunderstorms late in the month. Saskatoon had about 84 mm, around 25 mm above average, while Regina reported 129 mm, more than 60 mm above its long-term average.

Now on to Manitoba where, d e p e n d i n g o n w h e re y o u lived, July was either perfect, a little dry or way too wet, thanks to several rounds of thunderstorms. Some areas got just the right amount of rain from these storms and some missed out on pretty much every storm, while other areas either saw way

too much from one storm or experienced several strong storms.

St a r t i n g i n t h e Da u p h i n re g i o n , t h e a v e ra g e m e a n m o n t h l y t e m p e ra t u re w a s 19.8 C, a good 1.1 C above average. Rainfall was also above average, with 94.9 mm reported during the month, about 20 mm above average. Heading down to the Brandon region, it reported a mean monthly temperature of 19.2 C, about 0.7 C above average. Rainfall was right around average, with about 65 mm recorded. The Winnipeg region also experienced above-average temperatures in July and had the highest mean monthly temperature of all of the Prairies’ stations at 20.2 C, about 0.5 C above the long-term average. Like the Brandon region, rainfall was around average, with 65 mm reported.

How did the different longterm forecasts measure up to the real thing? Looking back, it appears that it’s a pretty close call between all the forecasts. All of the long-range forecasts called for aboveaverage temperatures, with only Environment Canada’s call for near-average temperatures across extreme southern Manitoba being a little off. Looking at rainfall, the Old Farmer’s Almanac predicted above-average rainfall, while the Canadian Farmers’ Almanac and Environment Canada called for near-average amounts. My precipitation forecast called for neart o s l i g h t l y b e l ow - a v e r a g e a m o u n t s. W h o s h o u l d b e declared the winner? I’ll leave it up to you to decide.

Now, on to the August forecast to see if anything has changed from the last time we looked at it. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, our warmer-than-average weather will continue, but we’ll see drier weather move in with below-average rainfall. The Canadian Farmers’ Almanac calls for a warm start to the month, with average temperatures during the second half — which means overall it will be near to slightly above aver-

age. Precipitation will also be near average during the month. Environment Canada calls for near-average temperatures over western and central regions, with below-average readings in far-eastern regions of Manitoba. As for precipitation, it’s being safe and calling for near-average amounts.

Finally, here at the Co-oper­ ator, I am still sticking with the prediction that the overall pattern in which we’ve been stuck for several months now will continue, with a persistent western ridge and eastern trough. This means we should continue to see the same type of weather, with p e r i o d s o f a b ov e - a v e r a g e temperatures broken up by periods of below-average conditions. The big question is whether the warm weather will occur more often than the cool weather. I think we’ll end up seeing slightly aboveaverage temperatures overall.

Precipitation, as you probably know by now, is the hardest part of the forecast. I’m going to roll the dice and go with near- to slightly below-average amounts of rain.

As usual, no matter what ends up happening weatherwise, I hope your weather is exactly what you need!

CROPS Potential growers get a look at the ins and outs of growing hemp The PCDF has been testing 10 varieties and four sites in Manitoba and two in Saskatchewan

BY JENNIFER PAIGE Co-operator staff / Melita

A

Variety trials PCDF grew hemp variety trials at four locations in Manitoba in 2014, including Arborg, Carberry, Melita and Roblin as well as two locations in Saskatchewan.

Ten varieties were grown at each test site, including Canda, CFX-1, CFX-2, CRS-1, Debbie, Delores, Finola, Joey, Silesia and X59.

“CRS is a Genetics International variety. It probably has the most acres in Manitoba right now,” said

Jeffery Kostuik, diversification specialist with Parkland Crop Diversification Foundation, shed some light on industrial hemp production at the Westman Agriculture Diversification Organization field day in Melita on July 22. Photo: Jennifer Paige

“Growth on the marketing side is anywhere from 20 to 40 per cent, mostly into the American market.”

Kostuik. “Canda is a variety out of Ontario and probably a little bit more suited for Ontario conditions. We have had it in plots a few years back and we just got it back in this year as they have shown some interest in us growing it.”

Kostuik says while there is no official data on the X59 variety, it has a really tight head and the bract hangs on to the seed well, which is good in windy regions but is more difficult to harvest than comparable varieties.

The Joey variety has been noted as the highest-yielding variety in all locations and Finola was consistently the lowest yielding.

Unleash the power of T Series

Seeding and harvest “Hemp would rather be seeded late into warm soils, around 10 C. The end of May is when we are recommending seeding,” Kostuik said. “Hemp doesn’t like its feet wet when it is young but once it gets established, it is a beast and will take a lot of moisture.”

Seeding is recommended at half an inch and 25 pounds per acre. Hemp is nutrient hungry and flourishes in well-manured fields.

There are currently no pesticides registered for hemp and in recent years PCDF noted susceptibility to sclerotinia.

“In Roblin we are doing a seeding date trial and we found that the later we went into the year in seeding we were actually able to have less incidence of sclerotinia and they still matured at approximately the same time,” Kostuik said.

Producers should aim to harvest hemp while the plant contains a bit of moisture, as it will m ov e t h r o u g h t h e c o m b i n e easier.

Currently there are two marketers in Manitoba, which have both undergone extensive expansion in the past two years — Hemp Genetics in Ste. Agathe and Manitoba Har vest out of Winnipeg.

rapidly growing market and attractive payoffs have some producers considering diversifying into industrial hemp production.

“Right now hemp is trading at about 85 to 95 cents per pound.

Last year, I think the provincial average on yield was around 1,100 to 1,200 pounds. It makes it to be a fairly attractive crop to grow and thus we do have more acres this year,” said Jeffery Kostuik, diversification specialist with Parkland Crop Diversification Foundation (PCDF), which has been working on hemp agronomy since its legalization in 1998.

Canada exports $40 million in hemp products annually. They include the grain, exterior fibre a n d t h e i n t e r i o r by p ro d u c t , most commonly used for animal bedding.

“Currently there is no real fibre processing in Canada, so most of the focus on hemp has been for grain and grain has carried the industry to what it is today. Crop insurance has about 84 per cent insured acres keyed in and we are at about 20,000 acres in Manitoba right now,” Kostuik said.

A licence from Health Canada is required to grow industrial hemp and testing for the narcotic compound THC may be required on some varieties.

In 2014, there were 292 industrial hemp commercial licences issued in Manitoba and 1,135 across Canada. Just over 27,000 acres were cultivated in Manitoba in 2014, with the CRS-1 variety the most commonly grown.

Black earth doesn’t mean warmer soil Spaces went fast for this year’s Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers SMART Day

BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff / Carman

agons were filled to c a p a city and then some at the Ian N. Morrison research farm near Carman late last month, as the Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers held its annual SMART Day for soybean producers and agronomists.

“Programs like this are hugely beneficial, especially for guys like myself, who are just realizing that I know enough to know that I don’t know anything,” said Rauri Qually, who is preparing to take on his family farm and is new to soybeans.

“Free days like this are hugely beneficial,” he added. “I’ve learned more here than probably what I learned in a month at university.”

Participants were able to take in sessions on soybean grading, weed management, iron deficiency chlorosis, crop residue management and other topics. They could also speak directly with researchers and tour test plots to see results for themselves.

University of Manitoba graduate student Greg Bartley shared his research on the effects of soil preparation on yield.

“It turns out black earth doesn’t really have much of an effect,” he said, explaining that soil temperatures with other tillage methods, such as strip till, or planting into short or tall stubble, or even a cover crop of fall rye, all result in similar spring soil temperatures.

They also result in similar yields, with strip till showing a slight lead, he said.

Gil Martel farms near St. Leon

and said that information could change the way he plants his soybeans next spring.

“It’s helpful to know that, it certainly opens up new ideas,” said Martel. He added the crop to his rotation two years ago. This season he’s got about 1,500 acres and if things go well he may plant more in 2016.

“The most surprising information so far today was the difference in soil temperature, that it was the same for black soil as the others, that was pretty surprising,” he said.

Producers observe aggregate stability during a soil demonstration at the Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers annual SMART Day for soybean producers and agronomists.

The idea of strip tillage also caught the interest of Tim Johnson, who at 13 might have been the youngest SMART participant.

“Me and my dad were actually talking about that with my uncle,” he said. “We took some pictures of the strip till today and I think we’ll be talking about it some more.”

Johnson said he’s wanted to follow in his dad’s farming footsteps as long as he can remember, and asked to tag along on his first field day a couple of years ago. This summer he’s also working on the family farm.”

“He’s the future,” said his father, James Johnson.

Organizers were pleased with the turnout, and thanked producers for taking time out of their busy schedules to take part.

“We know that you have a lot of field days to choose from,” Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Grow­ers production specialist Kristen Podolsky told producers.

“So we’re glad you’ve chosen this one.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Higher seeding rate needed for organic soybeans Transitioning to organic soybeans is possible with strategic planning

BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff / Carman

t’s a simple question, one that Martin Entz hopes producers will seriously consider.

“Why not grow organic soybeans?” he asked producers gathered at the Ian N. Morrison research farm near Carman late last month for the Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers’ annual SMART Day. “So m e t h i n g f a r m e r s a re always looking for is on-farm diversification, so we’ve been working with farmers to help

them shift part of their farm operation to certified organic as a form of diversification,” said the University of Manitoba plant science professor. “Doing this is possible; it works.”

Research on organic soybean production has been ongoing at the site for about a decade, and over the last eight years the average yield has been 28.7 bushels an acre using OAC Prudence, Entz said.

And while those yields are lower than conventional soybeans, he added that the premiums for organic beans make the venture worthwhile.

“The price for organic soy-

beans right now… is about $26 to $30 a bushel, depending on if it’s food grade or feed,” he said, adding that demand is also high.

An ongoing project backed by the university, the Western Grains Research Foundation and the pulse growers’ association assists interested farmers in transitioning a portion of their farm to organic by providing guidance and individual, oneon-one farm plans.

“Soybeans are our most consistent organic crop, so there is potential here,” he said. But he added that success requires management practices that might be new to producers, such as in-row flame weeding.

Inter-row tillage is also effective for managing weeds in organic soybeans, he said.

“If you’re not using herbicides, the danger of wide-row soybeans doesn’t apply,” he explained, referring to the development of resistant weeds in conventional row crops. “If you’re growing them organically, you should use inter-row cultivation, so space them as close as you can, while still allowing for that cultivation.”

Effective crop rotation also plays a crucial role in organic soybean management, Entz said. And while some might think corn isn’t an option in organic rotations, Entz told producers to think again.

Holding up a lengthy corn plant, he said, “some of you who grow soybeans are also interested in growing corn, and there are corn alternatives as well.

This is actually an open-pollinated food-grade corn.”

Variety selection Choosing the right soybean variety is also important. Student researcher Michelle Carkner is working to identify which varieties are best suited to Manitoba,

using plots at the research farm as well as at producer sites.

“We’re still learning things about growing soybeans conventionally, we’re learning even more about growing organic soybeans,” said Carkner.

Trials have looked at the effectiveness of OAC Petrel, Toma, Tundra, Krios, Jari, Auriga, Savannah and SK0007 plus new and unregistered varieties in the hopes of finding the right fit for organics in Manitoba’s shorter growing season.

Michelle Carkner is looking at varieties and seeding rates for organic soybeans.

One thing that’s become apparent is that higher seeding rates increase yields and decrease weed pressure in organic beans.

“And because the price of organic soybeans is so high, growers can get their money back when they increase seeding rates,” she said.

Some producers at the demonstration were concerned about the 36-months transition to organic, a period when crops must be produced organically, but can’t be sold for a premium.

Entz said that by doing a farm plan, and looking at transition strategies that could be managed, and Carkner agreed.

“That’s why people might want to look at starting with part of their farm, maybe putting it into a green manure first, there are ways,” she said, adding some buyers will also offer premiums during the 36 months to bring more organic production online. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Soybean cyst nematode co-evolved with crop They are tiny world travellers and Manitoba’s Red River Valley could be the next stop on the soybean cyst nematode’s global tour

By Shannon VanRaes CO-OPERATOR STAFF / Carman

I

n the middle of the Ian N. Morrison research farm near Carman, an unlikely scene is unfolding as farmers and agronomists crowd around what looks like an old jam jar.

“Careful, we don’t want this to break,” Mario Tenuta stresses, with a bit of a chuckle.

But what’s inside the tightly sealed jar is no laughing matter.

Hidden in a tangle of soybean roots is a tiny organism that has the potential to become soybean growers’ next nemesis should it be unleashed in Manitoba.

To date, no cases of soybean cyst nematode have been identified in the province, but the University of Manitoba soil ecologist said it’s only a matter of time before it arrives.

“My take-home message is that soybean cyst nematode is geared biologically to be with soybean and wherever we move soybean around the world, guess what… soybean cyst nematode will eventually follow, and that’s where we are today in Manitoba,” Tenuta told producers during Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers’ annual SMART Day late last month.

As soybeans developed in ancient China, so too did the nematode, he explained. And as soybeans moved beyond the Asian continent, the tiny pest went with it.

“They have co-evolved, folks, co-evolved to the point where the soybean cyst nematode really needs soybeans to survive,” the soil ecologist said.

On the move since 1954 First introduced to North America in the 1760s, soybeans were largely considered a forage crop until the time of the Great Depression when other uses were explored and promoted.

The search for better production methods led to the importation of soil inoculum in the 1940s and ’50s, a move that likely stamped the nematode’s passport, ushering it onto North American soil.

It was first officially identified in the Carolinas in 1954.

Today, soybean cyst nematode is present across the U.S., including in North Dakota. It’s also found across Ontario and in some areas of Quebec.

It can travel in soil, with birds, on plant material and in flood waters, making the Red River Valley a likely place for the soybean cyst nematode to appear, he said.

“It has been moving northward up the Red River Valley, and it’s really well documented. In North Dakota, they’ve followed the progression closely, and in the last 15 years it’s worked its way basically into all the soybean-growing areas,” said Tenuta. “Canada customs are tough to get through — they ask about liquor and they take my venison sausage… they do a really good job. But they really suck when it comes to keeping nematodes and other pathogens out of Canada, so the nematode will come over.”

Rauri Qually, who farms near Dacotah, said he’s “deeply” concerned about a possible incursion of nematodes following the presentation.

“It doesn’t sound like we have much of a defence against these things,” he said, but added that he’s still meticulous about biosecurity, washing all equipment before it moves to a new location.

Tenuta said that’s the right

attitude, adding that producers should keep up biosecurity, making sure equipment coming onto and off the fields is free of soil, especially if it’s travelling between farms or across borders.

As for what the soybean cyst nematode actually does, Tenuta

said it essentially hijacks the plant to create its own food factory.

“The nematode life cycle goes as follows: the female has died and she’s packed with eggs inside her, as that soybean root comes up close to that dead female, and she’s called a cyst at this point, the eggs are stimulated to hatch… then they migrate towards the root,” Tenuta said.

“They poke a hole into the roots, gain entry into that root, and they just stick their head into the root and just start feeding.”

Presence of the nematode can reduce yields by as much as 20 to 30 per cent, and is often difficult to diagnose.

Rotation and resistant varieties However, it can be managed by crop rotation and resistant varieties.

“And no, snow doesn’t count as crop rotation,” said Dennis

Lange, a crop specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development.

He added that other edible beans and some weeds can also play host to the soybean cyst nematode.

Gil Martel of St. Leon has only grown soybean for a couple of years, but said the information was helpful, adding he’s going to take another look at his rotation schedule.

“It certainly gives you something to think about,” he said.

Producers will also have much to consider when it comes to variety selection, as even resistant varieties break down over time, losing their effectiveness.

“I encourage growers to use them, but it is a cat-and-mouse game,” Tenuta said. “Because if the soybean has restart genes, guess what? The nematode evolves.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Harvest begins amid storms and spotty showers Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development crop report for Aug. 4, 2015 Weekly Provincial Summary Winter wheat and fall rye harvest is underway in Manitoba.

Preliminary reports indicate winter wheat yields range from 60 to 85 bu./acre, with low levels of fusarium-damaged kernels in harvested samples.

There are also a few fields of spring wheat, barley and field peas harvested last week.

Sw a t h i n g o r p re h a r v e s t applications in the earliestseeded spring cereal fields has started.

The majority of springseeded crops is either grain filling or podding, with some of the later-seeded crops finishing up flowering.

Southwest Region A large storm system that moved from Pierson to Hamiota on July 27, resulted in varying amounts of precipitation; rainfall amounts ranged from 25 to 125 mm across the region. The storm system also resulted in an EF-2 tornado that tracked from south of Tilston to north of Virden, spending approximately three hours on the ground. Crops such as corn, sunflower and oats were severely lodged in the path of the tornado, whereas areas farther from the path location also sustained heavy crop lodging. Some hail damage in Souris, Wawanesa and Minto areas was reported as well.

Most winter cereals are close to physiological maturity. Low fusarium head blight levels in winter wheat and low ergot levels in fall rye continue to be reported. Initial winter wheat h a r ve s t h a s b e g u n i n t h e Brandon and eastern areas of the region, with average yields reported.

The earliest canola fields are at the pod-filling stage of development. Some earlyseeded barley, wheat and oats are also nearing maturity, whereas late-seeded cereals are still in hard-dough stage.

Flax fields are coming out of flower and are experiencing some lodging due to the recent heavy thundershowers.

Some pea harvest has begun in the Rivers area with average to slightly above-average yields reported. Increased levels of mycosphaerella are being reported in later-seeded field peas as a result of the cooler and wetter conditions.

Lygus bugs are affecting some sunflower stands.

Hay and pasture conditions across the Southwest Region continue to be variable.

First-cut hay is complete and native hay is being harvested.

Generally, yields are 50 to 75 per cent of average.

Northwest Region A major weather system moving through most of the Northwest Region over the past week resulted in 38 to 51 mm of rain reported for most of the area, and 101 to 152 mm reported in the McCreary and Ste. Amelie areas.

Cro p s i n t h e No r t h we s t Region are reported to range from good to poor condition.

Some of the heavier crops lodged as a result of the heavy rains and winds experienced last week, particularly canola.

Approximately 10 per cent of the winter wheat crop is in the dough stage of development and 90 per cent is mature.

About 10 per cent of the spring wheat crop is at the milk stage of growth with the remaining 90 per cent in the dough stage.

Some rye and barley has been

har vested in the southern part of the region. Preharvest glyphosate applications have begun.

Canola improved significantly over the week as the crop continues to develop rapidly.

Crop insect pest activity throughout the region has been low, and producers continue to monitor crops closely for any signs of insect pest activity.

It is estimated that 75 per cent of first-cut hay is comp l e t e w i t h b e l ow - a v e r a g e yields in most parts of the Northwest Region. Cutting of native hay has begun.

Central Region War m and humid weather conditions continued in the early week. Most areas have adequate moisture and heavy morning dews are common.

Unsettled conditions remain and showers and thundershowers continue. Rainfall amounts varied from a few millimetres to as much as 35 mm.

Cereal crops throughout the region look good and some of the lodged cereal fields have recovered to a certain degree. However, harvest will be a challenge in many spring wheat fields and yield loss of some degree is expected.

Fusarium head blight levels appear to be much lower than last year in both winter and spring wheat.

Harvest of winter wheat and fall rye has begun. Early yields of winter wheat are reported in the 60 to 85 bu./ac. range. Some spring wheat is harvested.

There is a wide range in canola development due to the varied seeding dates.

Some canola fields have been

opened up with a swathed round or two; the odd field has been swathed. Many fields are lodged due to heavy winds.

Sunflowers are flowering.

Mo n i t o r i n g c o n t i n u e s f o r insects, and staging is being done for fungicide application.

Sunflower beetle numbers are low. Corn is growing rapidly.

Fields are silking with cobs starting to form.

Soybeans continue to flower and form pods. Some fields are showing increasing damage due to excess moisture and subsequent root rots.

Edible beans are flowering, and fungicide applications continue. Environmental conditions are conducive for white mould. Bacterial blight is reported in cranberry and kidney types; other varieties can also be affected.

Di a m o n d b a c k m o t h a n d bertha army worm trap counts are average to low for the season. Lygus bugs are found in canola fields, but numbers are below threshold levels. Wild oat plants are emerging above the crops in patches, as are other later-emerging weeds in thinner areas of fields. Weed growth is noticeable in lodged cereal fields.

Hay harvest continues in the Central Region but has been difficult with the high humidity and recent rains. Greenfeed is being cut for forage.

Eastern Region The weather was highly variable. Cool temperatures with drizzle alternated with sunny weather or significant rainfall that sometimes included isolated severe weather events.

Rainfall accumulations ranged from trace amounts to over 30 mm. Some isolated, severe hailstorms occurred

in southern districts. Across the Easter n Region, fields continue to show evidence of standing water and areas where crop is drowned out and is more prevalent in central and southern districts.

Winter wheat is mature and some harvesting and swathing started over the weekend.

Canola is pod filling. Soybeans range from R3 to R5.

Across the region, the majority of hay and pasture lands are in good condition. Haying was back to full swing with 30 to 50 per cent of the feed being put up. Quality is rated as good.

Interlake Region Precipitation and cooler temperatures were experienced in the Interlake Region last week. Rainfall amounts varied throughout the region.

Moosehorn received the most precipitation with just over 40 mm. Cool temperatures moved in with daytime highs between 20 to 25 C and nighttime temperatures dipping below 10 C. Harvesting of winter wheat and barley has begun. Winter wheat crops are coming in with reports of yields in the 65 to 70 bu./ac. range with little to no fusarium-damaged kernels in samples. Barley yields are ranging from 70 to 80 bu./ac. with good quality.

Canola fields are nearly finished flowering with some early-seeded fields starting to show coloured seeds in the bottom pods. Lygus bugs in canola are being monitored as populations are approaching thresholds. Some spraying is occurring in alfalfa seed fields for weevils and lygus bugs.

Clearer weather allowed some much-needed progress with haying.

Where farmers and Research meet

C

a n a d i a n Fo o d g r a i n s Bank (CFGB) has re c e i ve d $ 1 4 m i l l i o n from the federal government to scale up conservation agriculture programs in three African countries.

The funding provided on a three-to-one matching basis, will enable the organization to assist 50,000 farmers in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania, up from 5,000 farmers it is currently assisting, it says in a release.

CFGB member agencies will be able to provide training, technical assistance and support for farmers who want to learn how to use conservation agriculture to increase the productivity of their farms.

The total budget for the program is $18.67 million: $ 1 4 m i l l i o n f r o m Fo re i g n Affairs, Trade and Develop­ ment Canada and $4.67 million from Canadian Food­ grains Bank.

Conser vation agriculture is characterized by the three

linked principles of minimizing soil disturbance, permanently covering the soil, and including crop rotations and associations. It has proven e f f e c t i v e a t re s t o r i n g s o i l health and fertility, improving the capture and use of rainfall, and increasing crop yields and farm profitability.

In addition to directly a s s i s t i n g f a r m e r s t h ro u g h training, CFGB will also work with farmer groups, non-governmental organizations, government and the private sector to promote conservation agriculture systems for smallholder farmers more broadly in East Africa, and work to i m p r ov e t h e q u a l i t y a n d implementation of national and regional agricultural policies and programs supporting conservation agriculture in the region.

Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of 15 churches and church agencies working together to end global hunger.

In the 2014-15 budget year, CFGB provided $41.6 million of assistance for 1.1 million people in 39 countries.

Prairie towns lack settlement services for immigrants Rural Development Institute study surveyed 29 towns across Prairies and B.C. Growing trend

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

R

ural towns exist because of immigration, but they aren’t easy places for immigrants to move into nowadays. Lack of employment or foreign credentials going unrecognized are only part of the problem, according to a new report released by the Brandonbased Rural Development Insti­ tute. Newcomers go wherever language training, affordable housing, child care, public transportation, and other social supports are available, and these are generally lacking in smaller centres.

The study focused on 29 communities across Manitoba, Sask­ atch­ewan, Alberta and B.C., asking questions of settlement service agencies about what language and other services they could offer to help immigrants integrate.

Neepawa, Arborg, Brandon, Virden, Thompson and Dauphin

were selected in Manitoba, with participants from all six communities reporting they have “mixed perceptions” of how easy it was to settle and find work.

The report says that more could be done even in Neepawa, where nearly one in four (23.6 per cent)

residents is a recent newcomer and where a wide range of settlement services is now offered.

Language skills, credential recognition and understanding Canadian workplace culture were cited as key to people finding work in Neepawa.

The report defines “newcomers” as those who’ve been given permanent resident status but are not yet citizens, refugees or refugee claimants, temporary foreign workers, naturalized citizens and international students.

More immigrants are choosing to reside in rural communities and 94 per cent of the participants reported seeing more newcomers living in their communities. The report says employment is the major reason people move there, but presence of family or ethno­ cultural community and the lifestyle of smaller centres are others. This work has attempted to create an inventory of services for immigrations, with a look where improvements can be made, said RDI executive director Bill Ashton.

“Despite the increase of newcomers choosing to reside in rural areas, there is no welldocumented evidence of the

availability and types of settlement and integration services offered to them. This research sheds some light on the situation newcomers face when trying to settle in rural areas,” Ashton said.

The study included four provincial reports summarizing findings from all communities sampled.

Just over 37,000 new residents made their homes between 2009 and 2013 in the 29 communities studied.

The repor t recommends expanding settlement services across Western Canada, and making more people eligible for them.

A strong settlement sector especially in small rural communities is a key asset for the community to attract, welcome, and retain newcomers, and more core funding to support it is needed, the report said. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Scholarship available for CTEAM program Two-year program enhances farm business management skills Farm Management Canada release The second annual Robert (Bob) L. Ross scholarship program is open for applications until Sept.

15. The scholarship is offered

by Agri-Food Management Excellence (AME) in collaboration with Farm Management Canada, Family Farms Group and the Ross Family.

The successful recipient will receive free tuition to the CTEAM (Canadian Total Excellence in Agricultural Management) program (valued at $7,500) as well as up to $4,000 towards travel expenses. New this year, the recipient will also receive an extra $2,500 towards an additional farm team member’s tuition to CTEAM or other AME educational seminars, thanks to support from Family Farms Group.

CTEAM provides farmers and ranchers with the opportunity to enhance their farm business management skills and practices. Over two years in four sessions, participants work with their own farm data to develop a strategic business plan for their operation.

The scholarship was formed last year in memory of Bob Ross, a dairy farmer and passionate farm business consultant from St. Marys, Ontario, who lost his courageous battle with cancer in March 2014. Bob was instrumental in the creation of the CTEAM program.

Last year’s scholarship was awarded to Roger Lepp of Riverdale Grain in Rivers, Man. For more information visit www.agrifoodtraining.com.

Last week's answer

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

The new world of ‘sustainable’ beef

Rancher Cherie Copithorne-Barnes has dealt with the movers and shakers in the sustainable beef movement

BY BRAD BRINKWORTH Meristem Land and Science

W

ho’s driving this bus?

Amid ‘grocery wars,’ Jamie Oliver, ‘hormone free,’ Walmart, and a storm of related debate, this is the core question many producers and others in animal agriculture have about the new swath of expectations and ‘sustainability’ programs taking hold in the industry and the marketplace.

One person with a unique, up-close perspective on what’s happening at both the ranch and the boardroom level, is Cherie Copithorne-Barnes, a fourth-generation rancher and CEO of CL Ranches, which grazes around 28,000 acres near Jumping Pound, just west of Calgary.

Copithorne-Barnes grapples daily with the practical realities of today’s rising pressures on animal agriculture and has also dealt directly with many of the movers and shakers behind initiatives at Sobeys, A&W, McDonald’s and others.

She also has a front-row seat to developments both nationally and internationally, through her role as chair of the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.

Copithorne-Barnes spoke at the 5th Annual UCVM Beef Cattle Conference in Calgary in June and offered a number of insights.

Undercover visit In July 2013, unbeknownst to her, a marketing representative of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver posed as a member of the Sobeys meat team out for a tour of the ranch, asking questions about animal welfare and videotaping her answers.

“I thought it was a little odd that he was adamant about seeing our feedlots, even though we had emptied them out about the third week of April. He wanted to see the pens. And when we got there one of the questions he asked was, ‘Why would you put all of these calves into these backgrounding pens when you have these big, beautiful open fields?’

“I was beginning to get a bit suspicious of the line of questioning and I said, ‘Think of yourself being here in the middle of January when it’s 40 below, the wind is blowing, and there’s a foot of snow on the ground.

Where would you rather be?

In these pens with the protection of the fence, clean bedding and adequate food, or out in the open field, facing that wind?’”

A month later she learned the truth about the covert mission — Oliver’s team was evaluating beef suppliers to help Oliver decide if he would participate with Sobeys on what has become the “Sobeys and Jamie Oliver Partnership,” a high-profile marketing initiative built around the “Certified Humane” concept.

She may not agree with all parts of the approach, but Copithorne-Barnes said it’s hard to fault Sobeys from a purely business perspective.

Cherie Copithorne-Barnes has had a front-row seat as global giants like McDonald’s and Walmart move to selling ‘sustainable’ beef. PHOTO: MERISTEM LAND AND SCIENCE

“How do you say this was a wrong move for Sobeys to make?

Jamie Oliver has 4.5 million (Twitter) followers. This is a man of incredible influence.”

‘Better Beef’ The next group to visit was A&W, which was considering a “Better Beef” campaign, which promises beef with no added hormones and steroids.

“Before A&W rolled out its marketing plan, its executives actually took the time to come out and visit a number of operations,” she said.

“The questions they asked were real, genuine, and they really tried to learn and understand. But we all know the reality of their marketing when they rolled this program out. I am no way endorsing the fact that to call this better beef was responsible. Thankfully, even they eventually started to realize the negative impact this was having at the producer level. That’s why you don’t see the words better beef in the slogan anymore.”

Despite the damage caused, again it’s hard to argue the business rationale, she said.

“A&W decided that the hormone-free concept was something its consumers were asking for. It needed to learn how to supply it and it became the very first national hormone-free burger available to Canadians. Business is business whether we like it or not.

It had to follow consumers’ dollars and this is where A&W decided to go.”

‘Verified sustainable’ Arguably the most important retailer initiative is McDonald’s pledge to begin purchasing “verified sustainable” beef in 2016, with Canada selected for the company’s first verified sustainable beef pilot project.

“Business is business whether we like it or not. It had to follow consumers’ dollars.”

Cherie CopithorneBarnes

Copithorne-Barnes said the inclusive and collaborative approach McDonald’s has chosen is encouraging and arguably the best among the big retailers.

“It’s really been a driving force in bringing together a multi-collaborative platform in order to ensure that sustainable beef will be defined in a way that everybody can define and accept.”

That multi-stakeholder pro­ cess stands in contrast to the opportunistic approaches of some companies, she said.

“You look at one of the more extreme examples, such as what Chipotle in the U.S. is doing, where it’s clear it has decided to drive consumers’ thinking for its own gain, whether there’s truth or not to how it is representing things,” she said.

“McDonald’s, on the other hand, wants to make sure that everyone involved in this concept has a voice at the table and it gets it right.”

This means working with the

Canadian Cattlemen’s Associa­ tion, the Canadian roundtable, Alberta Beef Pro­d ucers, and many other industry players. It also includes a strong science basis.

This shows in McDonald’s position on antimicrobial use.

Rather than promote antibiotic free, it supports ‘judicious decision-making.’ Bruce Feinberg, McDonald’s global animal health and welfare officer, has simply stated: “McDonald’s believes that animals deserve care and we still support the treatment of sick animals.”

It’s important for producers to have clear, science-based criteria that aren’t unfairly restrictive, said Copithorne-Barnes.

“This is more likely to happen when industry is part of the decision-making team.”

The road ahead Copithorne-Barnes’ take on Walmart is an interesting one.

The company recently urged its meat and egg supplier to curb antimicrobial use, which garnered massive media coverage.

“The press called this absolutely earth shattering and a game changer, which made me laugh because it was about the last one in the game.”

But she was still relatively happy at where Walmart landed.

“What I was most proud of with Walmart is that for once it was a recommendation. Walmart has a tendency to send out prescriptive edicts. ‘You will or else we won’t.’ This was the first time when it comes to a sustainability factor that Walmart has said we ‘recommend,’ and the reality is I think a lot of that has to do with McDonald’s and others making a lot of headway through the concept of collaboration.”

But there are other issues to deal with.

“For example, I know first hand that antimicrobials are just the first step. We will be facing more questions about Ractopamine and hormones coming up very soon.”

Bu t t h e re c e n t s i g n s o f progress are also encouraging, she said.

“If we can keep what we’re doing open and transparent, at both a national and global level, hopefully these companies such as Walmart, Unilever, Nestlé, that are all walking down this path right now, will pay attention to this and we will have approaches we can live with.”

It’s important for the beef industry to work together, reach out to consumers and retailers, and “continually come up with new and creative ways to influence and deliver our messages.”

Social media will be a key part of that, but old-style communication is, too.

“One of the most productive things I’ve been able to accomplish in the past year and a half is to have people come out to the ranch so I can show them what we’re doing,” she said. “It’s one thing to have a 400-page document explaining what we’re doing. It’s another if you can see it or if I can tell you in my own words.

“We don’t need to get complicated. Just talk about the simple things we do every day and why we do them. That can go a long way.”

Bringing the advantages of hydrotherapy to your horse It is soothing as well as therapeutic when dealing with wounds or injuries Carol Shwetz

DVM

Horse Health

If an injury is left to heal as an open wound, hosing the wound for 20 minutes daily encourages further healing. This process can be repeated every day for weeks after the injury depending on the wound’s progress.

ne of the most valuable allies in the “doctor’s” kit of every horseman ought to be water — simple, soothing, inexpensive, and most often readily available. The application of water, a.k.a. hydrotherapy, to encourage healing brings plenty of advantages in many equine injuries. In spite of the many advancements in veterinary medicine, hydrotherapy remains a solid therapeutic modality on the front lines of first aid treatment as well as extending benefit into the healing period thereafter.

Veterinarians frequently counsel horse owners to cold hose an injury for a duration of about 20 minutes. Many horse own-

ers quickly realize the benefits of this practice and will often have hydrotherapy well underway even before the veterinarian has arrived to tend to an injury.

Initially hydrotherapy serves to cleanse an open wound of dirt and debris. A clean wound is not only the first step to effective healing, it is also valuable therapy for ongoing healing.

This first step in cleaning will be important whether the wound is sutured or left to heal as an open wound.

If the injury is left to heal as an open wound, hosing the wound for 20 minutes daily encourages further healing. This process can be repeated every day for weeks after the injury depending on the wound’s progress.

The beneficial effects of hydrotherapy extend beyond cleansing the injury. Hydrotherapy is also remarkably effective at controlling and regulating the three

main symptoms of inflammation — heat, swelling and pain.

These three processes are natural and functional responses to injury, yet they can overwhelm and slow the healing process.

Hydrotherapy appears to modulate the horse’s natural mechanisms to heal an injury by capitalizing on the stimulating effects of improved circulation.

Both the immune system and tissue regeneration appear to be enhanced as well. The timely application of cold hydrotherapy to a laceration, blunt trauma, or strained and/or sprained soft tissue constricts and decreases the permeability of blood vessels at the injury site and thus reduces the amount of fluid accumulation.

Cold therapy reduces the tissue’s demand for oxygen and so limits the triggers for hypoxic injury. Contraction of the vessels due to the cold also encourages the movement of fluid from the affected area, further reducing swelling. One of the often overlooked benefits of cold hydrotherapy is that of analgesia and pain relief.

Invariably the afflicted site shows noticeable improvement and appears less painful for the horse. Horses quickly learn to accept and enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy. Owners often comment on the favourable influence hydrotherapy will have on their horse’s overall attitude.

There are numerous variations on the theme of hydrotherapy.

Cold therapy is recommended until the initial inflammation has subsided. Once the injury feels cool to the touch, heat can be applied to encourage blood circulation to the affected area.

Hosing with warm and/or tepid water can be done if such is readily available. Hot compresses can also be utilized to accomplish this end. When heat is applied to the surface of an injury it causes the blood vessels to dilate and increase blood flow to the site bringing nutrients and oxygen to the injured tissue.

Although dry heat from lamps or heating pads can be helpful, moist heat from compresses are better able to penetrate deeper into the tissues. However, if heat is applied too early after an injury the heat can spur undesirable inflammation. Therefore, as a general rule one would apply cold if the injury is warm and/or hot and apply heat if the injury feels cool/cold. The change of therapy from cold to hot can take from days to a week depending on the nature and severity of the injury.

Contrast baths are another practice that can be used to stimulate healing. An alternating series of warm (not hot) and cold applications are used to encourage the movement of nourishing fluids into the affected area and removal of stagnant fluids out of the healing site by cycling dilation and contraction of blood vessels.

It is important not to overlook the inexpensive nature and extremely wide margin of safety hydrotherapy offers. As such, it presents strong arguments in its favour, bringing a multitude of advantages to horse owners when presented with acute injuries or wounds.

SHEEP & GOAT COLUMN

Summer auctions continue to support demand Quality and condition continue to be factors for both sheep and goat prices

BY MARK ELLIOT Co-operator contributor

P

roducers provided 630 sheep and goats for the July 8 sale at Winnipeg Livestock Auction. There was a good selection, allowing buyers to fill their demand.

The ewe classification was well represented. There appeared to be no price differences between wool and hair ewes. The apparent price differences were between young and older ewes. Quality and health-management practices — which were noticeable — played major parts in the bidding as well. Whether ewes were sheared was not a price factor at this sale.

A herd dispersal of Dorpercross ewes continued with average price bidding.

The selection for rams was ver y limited. A 235-pound Suffolk-cross ram brought $0.95 per pound. A 230-pound Rideau-cross ram brought $0.90 per pound.

The heavyweight lambs were represented by a group of 21 114-pound Dorset-cross and Blackface-cross lambs.

This group brought $1.95 per pound.

T h e m a r k e t l a m b s we re judged/viewed upon the immediate condition by the buyers’ bidding. Quality and soundness brought higher prices. There were no price differences between wool and hair lambs.

Demand for the feeder lambs was strong at this sale.

A group of pastured lambs brought $2.25 per pound. The bidding continued with this strong influence throughout most of this classification.

The price ranged from $2.16 to $2.275 per pound for the majority of the feeder lambs.

The lightweight lambs continued the high demand from the buyers. The price ranged from $2.07 to $2.29 per pound for lambs in the 70-pluspound range. There appeared to be no price differences between the wool and hair lambs.

Ev e n t h e l a m b s i n t h e 60-plus weight range continued some strong bidding, with no price differences between wool and hair lambs. The price ranged from $2 to $2.36 per pound.

The price ranged from $2.23 to $2.35 per pound for the 50-plus-pound lambs.

The demand for dairy goats created some stronger bidd i n g . T h e yo u n g a g e a n d quality characteristics of the goats are still major issues.

Alpine-cross goat does represented the dairy selection.

There appears to be a limited number of goats being brought to the sales and this creates

high interest and high bidding.

However, proper health management must be shown.

The goat bucks of lower weights and age brought higher bids compared to older bucks.

The dairy goat buck selection was represented by Alpinecross goats.

The goat kids are in major demand by all buyers. This interest keeps the bidding in a more constant price range.

Even the lightweight goat kids are being purchased for future purposes. The dairy goat kids were represented by Alpinecross and La Mancha-cross kids.

Over the last month, the Ont a r i o St oc k ya rd Rep o r t showed similar traits as the local market, with a combination of high and low prices. However, the goat bidding/prices remain constant throughout the month.

briefs

Stubble-burning ban back in force as of Aug. 1 Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Develop­ ment (MAFRD) reminds producers who choose to burn crop residue that authorization is required between Aug. 1 and Nov. 15. Authorizations are issued daily by 11 a.m. based on weather, mois­ ture and favourable smoke dispersion conditions.

Night burning is banned year round.

Producers may also require a burning permit if located within the city of Winnipeg or in a burning permit area. Permit appli­ cation forms and infor­ mation are available by calling the toll-free infor­ mation line at 1-800-2651233. Information is also available from MAFRD GO offices and online at www. gov.mb.ca/agriculture under Quick Links.

Manitoba’s controlled burning program is part of the Burning of Crop Residue and Non-Crop Herbage Regulation. The program was introduced to protect public health and safety while allowing farmers to deal with dif­ ficult straw management problems.

Stubble-burning regula­ tions are enforced by envi­ ronment officers and the RCMP. Failure to follow the regulations could result in fines of up to $50,000.

A FIELD FULL OF BALES IS NO LONGER THE DREADED CHORE IT ONCE WAS

The MFGA wants to know about your hay crop The Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association says there is a wide range of hay quantity and qual­ ity across the province this year, and it’s asking pro­ ducers to fill out a quick online survey to help quantify the situation.

“We saw Mother Nature’s influence this year as alfalfa was at the optimum stage in some areas, yet the window of cutting opportunity was fairly narrow to enable producers to harvest the forage in good condi­ tion,” the MFGA says in a newsletter. “The other curve Mother Nature threw at us was dry condi­ tions that slowed the crop and delayed first cut in the north and southwest areas of the province.”

The MFGA said the information will be used in its fall and winter eBulletins to provide an overview of the hay situ­ ation in various parts of the province, an indica­ tion of hay prices and guidelines as to where hay is available or in demand.

Questions include dates of first and second cuts and whether you will have hay available for sale this year. A link to the survey is on the MFGA web page at www.mfga.net. — Staff
