Staging critical for pre-harvest glyphosate The crop must be mature before applying the non-selective herbicide BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

lyphosate is not a desiccant.” And just to be sure listeners got the message Manitoba Agriculture cereals specialist Pam de Rocquigny repeated the statement again during the Westman CropTalk webinar July 27: “Glyphosate is not a desiccant. “I no longer want to see anyone referring to when they are applying a pre-harvest glyphosate application... that they are desiccating their crop,” she added. “They are not. It is not a desiccant.” While applying glyphosate to cereals can result in earlier harvesting, it does not cause kernels to ripen faster, de Rocquigny said. Glyphosate shouldn’t be applied to wheat until it’s in the hard-dough stage and kernel moisture content is less than 30 per cent. Earlier applications can result in lower yields and bushel weights and glyphosate residues exceeding approved See GLYPHOSATE on page 7 »

undreds of volunteers donned overalls and heaved sheaves on Sunday to re-enact a Prairie harvest scene on the grandest scale the world has ever seen. More than 148 antique threshing outfits rattled, hissed and ‘chuff-chuff-chuffed,’ tended by 700 participants, in the Guinness World Record attempt at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum for the most threshers operating at once. By evening organizers of Harvesting Hope: A World Record to Feed the Hungry were tweeting that 139 of the machines had remained operating the required 15 minutes to break the official record. That’s more than the 111 used at St. Albert, Ontario in 2015 when organizers of a festival there broke the world record during a fundraiser for breast cancer research.

“What we’ve just witnessed is the largest gathering of threshing machines we’ve ever seen. There were more machines here and more machines running than we’ve ever seen anywhere else in the world any time in history,” said Elliot Sims, one of the five co-ordinating chairs for the event, also held as a fundraiser for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Most of these century-old threshers and tractors ran for the solid 15 minutes after the record attempt began promptly at 4 p.m. “Some of the machines were a little tired and shut down right at the 15-minute mark,” he said. “But most of the machines continued to go until their piles were gone.” Some were still separating a half-hour after the event had officially concluded. Sims said organizers have estimated the operating capacity of the scene would be at about 17,000 bushels an hour, enough to fill about a dozen rail cars per hour. He didn’t know offhand how many modernday combines could do the same job in

the same amount of time but some were guessing on Sunday it would be around 10. “I’m not sure of those numbers exactly,” he said. Altogether, 75 acres of winter wheat was bound and 30,000 sheaves were cut to be threshed during the event. Equally impressive was the crowd watching the mass threshing scene from the sidelines. It was possibly a record breaker for the MAM too, or at least not seen in decades. The MAM doubled its membership this year to 1,400. The event was a joint fundraiser, with a portion of proceeds of all ticket sales, plus donations going directly to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Jim Cornelius, CFGB executive director called the event a celebration of farming. “It’s been a great partnership working with the museum,” he said. “We don’t know at this point what sort of fundraisSee HARVESTING HOPE on page 6 »

The new finding helps shed light on when and why humans first became farmers

Weather Vane What’s Up Classifieds Sudoku

ice farming is a far older practice than we knew. In fact, the oldest evidence of domesticated rice has just been found in China, and it’s about 9,000 years old, about 4,000 years before the earliest previous estimates. The discovery, made by a team of archeologists that includes University of Toronto Professor Gary Crawford, sheds new light on the origins of rice domestication and on the history of human agricultural practices. “Today, rice is one of the most important grains in the world’s economy, yet at one time, it was a wild plant... how did people bring rice into their world?” said Crawford, an anthropological archeologist. Working with three Chinese researchers, Crawford found the ancient domesticated rice fragments in what was probably a ditch in the lower Yangtze Valley. They observed that about 30 per cent of the rice plant material — primarily bases, husks and leaf epidermis — were not wild, but

showed signs of being purposely cultivated. This study builds on Crawford’s previous research into early agriculture in China, in which he has examined the ancient settlements, tools, and plant and animal management efforts that occurred in different regions of the country. He is interested in better understanding the forces that compelled our human ancestors to transition from hunters and gatherers to farmers.

“The question I ultimately want to answer is, what pushed them to move wholeheartedly into the farming regime? Why did they reduce their emphasis on hunting and expand into crop production?” Crawford says. “People did what they needed to do to make their lives more manageable and sustainable, and the unintended consequence was farming. With this rice discovery, we’re seeing the first stages of that shift.”

New Canada Northern Hard Red wheat class took effect Aug. 1 The West’s ninth milling wheat class is the new home for Faller, Prosper and Elgin ND BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

ig changes to Western Canada’s wheat class system took effect Aug. 1, the start of the 2016-17 crop year, and more are coming over the next three years. T h e y ’r e d e s i g n e d t o e n h a n c e Canada’s reputation for high-quality, high-gluten-strength milling wheat, while giving farmers the opportunity to grow higher-yielding wheats that have slightly lower strength, Daryl Beswitherick, the Canadian Grain Commission’s (CGC) program manager for quality assurance standards, said in an interview July 29. For starters, the CGC has added a new wheat class — Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR). American Dark Northern Spring varieties Faller, Prosper and Elgin ND, currently in the Canada Western Interim Wheat class, will move to the new CNHR class and the interim class will end. These three varieties have slightly lower protein than wheats in Canada’s premiere, Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) class, but are higher yielding. Changes are coming to the CWRS and Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) class but not until Aug. 1, 2018 when 25 CWRS and four CPSR wheats will move to the CNHR class. Among the CWRS wheats there are some popular varieties including Harvest and Kane. (See the list below.) The CGC had initially planned to move them in 2017, but delayed it a year to give the industry more time to adjust. Aug. 1 the Canada Western General Purpose (CWGP) and Canada Feed Wheat classes were eliminated and the varieties in them transferred to the new Canada Western Special Purpose class. Like the CWGP class, the special purpose class does not require end-use quality assessment as a prerequisite to registration. The CWGP class was created in 2008 for wheats suited for ethanol produc-

tion and livestock feed. But it’s also become home for some higher-yielding varieties that don’t meet the milling and end-use requirements of other wheat classes. Marketability also played a role in the switch, Beswitherick said in an earlier interview. “General purpose” doesn’t sound as appealing as “special purpose.” Elwin Hermanson, the CGC’s former chief commissioner, announced the wheat class review at the Manitoba Seed Growers’ Association’s annual m e e t i n g i n D e c e m b e r 2 0 1 4 . He explained the goal was to protect and enhance the CWRS and CPSR classes following several years of complaints from some customers about weakerthan-normal wheat gluten strength. An investigation concluded that some new CWRS wheats with gluten strength close to the minimum allowed were among the most popular with farmers. In addition poor weather had resulted in even lower gluten strength. Industr y consultations last year resulted in support for the class changes, aimed at providing farmers with more flexibility in the wheats they grow without compromising Canada’s wheat quality, Beswitherick said. The industry also agreed to tighter standards for CWRS wheat.

“If you travel around the world and mention CWRS, people in the wheat industry they know exactly what it is,” he said. “That brand is so strong we didn’t want to impact that. We wanted to enhance it by getting more consistent. But we also want to allow the producers the flexibility to grow different types of wheat for different markets. Different opportunities could come forward. That is the idea behind the Canada Northern Hard Red.” While wheats identified as not meeting CWRS and CPS quality don’t start moving to the CNHR for another year, Beswitherick stressed it’s important for farmers to know what varieties they are growing and what class they belong to so they properly declare when delivering to the elevator. Canada’s wheat quality control system depends on it because in 2008, kernel visual distinguishability ended. It required new wheats to visually match the kernel type of others in the same class allowing for visual class segregation.

As of Aug. 1, 2016 the following CWGP varieties move to CWSP class: AAC Proclaim, AAC Innova, AAC NRG097, Accipiter, Broadview, CDC Clair, CDC Falcon, CDC Harrier, CDC Kestrel, CDC NRG003, CDC Primepurple, CDC Ptarmigan, CDC Raptor, Minnedosa, NRG010, Pasteur, Peregrine, Pintail, SY087, Sunrise, Swainson and WFT 603. As of Aug. 1, 2018 the following CWRS varieties move to the CNHR class: AC Abbey, AC Cora, AC Eatonia, AC Majestic, AC Michael, AC Minto, Alvena, Alikat, CDC Makwa, CDC Osler, Columbus, Conway, Harvest, Kane, Katepwa, Leader, Lillian, McKenzie, Neepawa, Park, Pasqua, Pembina, Thatcher, Unity and 5603HR. As of Aug. 1, 2018 the following CPSR varieties move to the CNHR class: AC Foremost, AC Taber, Conquer and Oslo. As of Aug. 1, 2019 the following CPSR variety moves to the CNHR class: AC Crystal. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Farmers dismayed over Port of Churchill closure With a bumper crop in the works, farmers need all the export outlets they can access, one farm leader says Staff/ CNS

he Keystone Agricultural Producers is calling on the federal government to keep the Port of Churchill operating until the end of the 2016 shipping season and beyond. Workers at the Port of Churchill were told July 25 there would be no grain shipments going through the port this season, leaving approximately 10 per cent of Churchill residents out of work. “This is a major blow to us, especially when there appears to be an exceptionally large crop coming,” said KAP president Dan Mazier. “The last time we had a large crop, grain movement through the port was up 50 per cent over the previous year. “We’ve had so many issues shipping our grain east and west to port, and this was an excellent option. If ever there was a case for government intervention, this is it.” Mazier says he is ver y surpr ised because OmniTrax, the por t’s owner, indicated ver y recently that the coming season was looking good. “And now the company is saying there isn’t enough grain coming in — something doesn’t add up,” he said.

Mazier is also asking the federal government to come up with a plan that will ensure the port continues to operate. “We don’t want to lose this facility permanently, and the longer it stays shut, the more possible that scenario becomes,” he said. The Churchill facility was owned by the federal government until the mid-’90s, when it was sold to OmniTrax. OmniTrax, the Denver-based company running the port, gave no inclination of the closure, said Eldon Boon, president of the Hudson Bay Route Association and a farmer from the Virden area, adding he was in communications with officials no more than a few weeks ago. “It was business as usual. They had some potential customers that were going to utilize the port and were working toward shipments, so we were not expecting this whatsoever,” Boon said. The port saw drastically lower tonnage last year, 184,000 tonnes of grain compared to the 500,000 to 700,000 tonnes expected, said Boon. When the association brought up concerns for the 2016 shipping season, he said OmniTrax responded positively, telling them this season would be better. “They assured us they had some new customers come forward and were looking at some good shipments, but apparently that’s not so,” said Boon.

As of August 8, the port will be completely shut down and all employees terminated, right at the start of shipping season through Churchill, Boon said. “( There are) loaded rail cars destined for Churchill and they’re sitting on the side, loaded, with nowhere to go,” Boon said. “They’ve cancelled everything.” Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister has come out swinging over the dust-up, linking the closure to an attempt to leverage more public dollars to keep the port open. He told media the company had been threatening government with the closure if it didn’t cough up more dollars. I want to be very, very clear that I don’t respond ever to threats,” Pallister told media. Boon said he has been in contact with provincial and federal government officials, hoping a combined effort can recover some of the shipping season. “I’m not sure what (OmniTrax’s) thought process is... but there are huge implications here, not only for Churchill but the whole supply chain,” Boon said. The Port of Churchill is Canada’s only Arctic p o r t , ra i s i n g c o n c e r n s f o r t h e p rov i n c e o f Manitoba as well, Boon said. When reached on Tuesday, OmniTrax spokesperson Ron Margulis would not comment on the layoffs, but said the company would be releasing more information in the near future.

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Consumer divorce

T Gord Gilmour Associate Editor

alking to far mers these days about their relationship with consumers is like talking to a jilted lover. They can’t understand what’s just happened. In their minds, things were going so well. They’ve done what consumers asked, provided cheap and safe food, produced with the most modern technology. Everything was going along swimmingly, farmers thought. True, there wasn’t a lot of conversation lately, and things had seemed a bit,

well, distant. Now farmers find themselves blindsided. Suddenly consumers are saying they’ve been doing some thinking, and ‘we need to talk.’ They want to know why farmers use so many antibiotics in livestock barns and why beef couldn’t be produced without hormone supplements that promote growth. And why can’t chickens run free? They don’t think the pesticides you use are safe. In essence, farmers are finding that consumers seem to have gone off to ‘find themselves,’ and returned as a pack of gluten-hating, farmer-doubting, New Agers. Farmers’ reaction has been predictable — confusion, hurt and anger. Unfortunately however, the collective reaction hasn’t been to try to understand why. It’s been more akin to running to their room and slamming the door to sulk. Let me make this clear, as I torture this analogy just a bit further, I don’t think either side is to blame for this situation. As they say, ‘it takes two to tango,’ and we’ve all been dancing pretty hard. Consumers are fickle and two faced. They say they want quality and are increasingly demanding more specific attributes. But they also want the cheapest food possible and in perfect cosmetic condition. They make all sorts of outlandish and ill-informed claims, often cribbed from the Internet. One example is the notion that canola oil is related to mustard gas. Or another, their insistence GMO products must by definition be somehow unsafe. While it might be comforting to tell yourself it’s all their fault, that they’re the ones who changed, that’s not entirely accurate. Farming has changed dramatically too even as the industry embraces its old image whenever it is politically expedient. Section farms have been replaced by sprawling operations spanning in some cases tens of thousands of acres. The modest 400-head farrowing-to-finish hog operations of my youth have been replaced with massive and efficient production units that resemble biological factories. Even the cattle business has seen upheaval and change with huge feedlot operations becoming the key final stage in production. Farmers have been very comfortable with letting large companies be the direct intermediary with consumers. But when those same companies try to set up supply chains that meet perceived consumer trends, it’s met with open hostility from the farm community. All this has happened while agriculture has talked from both sides of its mouth. On the one hand it’s a business, never to be fettered or put at a competitive disadvantage. On the other hand it’s a special sector deserving of special treatment, such as exemption from labour laws and worker health and safety legislation. It all boils down to a situation where we’re looking at a relationship in crisis, and if we don’t want to see it break down entirely, we need to take some steps to save it. Why, you might wonder, should you care about saving it? Because divorce, even the metaphorical kind, is expensive and disruptive. If farmers can’t figure out a way to patch up and even strengthen their relationship with consumers, they’re unlikely to like the fallout. To put it bluntly, a small number of farmers may control the landscape, but a large number of consumers controls the ballot box, and that’s where the rules are set in a democratic society. As a farmer you can’t either individually or collectively force consumers to appreciate you. One of the buzz-phrases we’ve all become interested in is the need to “educate consumers.” It would be fine if that’s what we were actually talking about, but it has become apparent that what that really means is we need to “re-educate” consumers, with all of the negative Maoist baggage that term brings with it. In a capitalist society, the market rules and it has zero tolerance for one of the prevailing attitudes in agriculture today — that people gotta eat and therefore they’ll take what we make. If we’re honest with ourselves, we know that is not true. Consumers can import food, they can impose conditions on food that farmers might not like but will have little choice but to accept, or any number of options. Rather than settling into adversarial roles, now might be the time to sit down for a heart-to-heart talk. One that involves as much listening as talking. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Record debt levels threaten western Canadian agriculture By Sarah Pittman Canada West Foundation

or the 23rd consecutive year, Canadian farm debt has hit a new record. In the West, the debt load is particularly severe, raising questions about the future. Farmers in British Columbia are faring best, with only $6 billion in debt. Manitoba and Saskatchewan are middle of the road, with more than $8 billion and $13 billion respectively. Alberta’s farmers, however, carry an eye-popping $20 billion in debt. In Alberta and Saskatchewan, outstanding farm debt has increased more than $5 billion in the last five years. The only thing of more concern than those numbers is that no one is talking about them. Growing up in a farming community, I learned early on that debt was just part of the game if you want to grow, or even maintain, your operation. But it was only recently that I learned just how much debt western farmers are carrying. There are several reasons for this, but a few stand out as particularly important. As the debt load of each western province has increased, the number of farmers in each western province has decreased substantially. In other words, farms are being bought, sold, and consolidated into massive farms. Debt is often a necessary evil. You need capital to buy the land, animals, and equipment for expansion, which increasingly means taking on more debt. Debt is often required for operations of all sizes. Another factor, perhaps the most important, is the prime interest rate. This rate is established by the Bank of Canada on eight predetermined dates per year. The prime interest rate will be changed if the Bank of Canada thinks it will help fight inflation in the long term, or will help a

OUR HISTORY:

number of the bank’s short-term goals, such as fighting unemployment. Therefore, even though farming can have influence on the prime interest rate, it has no greater influence than any other industry in Canada. The prime interest rate can and will rise. In the past 23 years, we have had mercifully low interest rates. The payments that a farmer makes on his/her operating loan is based on their credit score and the prime interest rate. As a result, farmers have had lower interest rates than they would have had in the past, enabling them to go deeper into the red than they would have in the past. At what point do we need to decide that we are in way over our heads, and, sooner rather than later, we are going to be in serious trouble? Any farmers active in the early 1980s will surely remember the debt crisis. In the 1970s, prime interest rates were low. However, the prime interest rate skyrocketed in the early 1980s, from 8.5 per cent four years earlier to an average of 19.29 per cent by 1981. While the prime interest rate isn’t expected to make that kind of jump any time soon, it is bound to change, and with it the interest rate on farmers’ operating loans. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. While the staggering amount of debt that western Canadian farmers are in is an important part of the story, what is even more important is how farmers are dealing with it. The Canada West Foundation is trying to understand that part of the story. We want to hear from the people who are the centre of this story — farmers. Go to www.cwf.ca/currents, and tell us what you think, or tweet us @CanadaWestFdn. Sarah Pittman is an intern at the Canada West Foundation, a public policy think-tank focused on the four western provinces.

August 1952

e’re not certain whether the “Big Stinky” fly trap advertised in our Aug. 7, 1952 issue lived up to its claims, but we hope the bottles of fluid were well packed when being mailed from Toronto. The ad was below a story which said that while some mosquitoes in the U.S. had developed resistance to DDT, none had been reported in Canada. A representative of chemical manufacturer CIL said resistance would take two or three years longer to develop in Canada, and if so, other chemicals would be available. This may sound familiar, but our front page reported that the Canadian Federation of Agriculture was warning that a large crop was on the way, and that action was needed to keep grain moving, especially because of competition from heavy shipments of other products. Another story said that beef demand could increase following a 20 to 25 per cent drop in retail prices. It said that some feeders were facing “ruinous losses” following a sharp drop from record cattle prices in 1951, due in part to embargoes on shipments to the U.S. It would be another two years before the Salk polio vaccine was available, and another item in the issue said that while the current epidemic had not reached the panic stage, it would be wise to take precautions such as avoiding excessive swimming and getting a chill.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Analysis: Canada needs Churchill, but do grain farmers? The port and bay line are vital to the northern economy, but so little grain moves the impact on the grain sector would be minimal BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

anada’s grain industry doesn’t need the Port of Churchill, or its railway — but Canada does. Both are important to Canadian sovereignty in the North and are vital to the economies of Churchill and other northern communities From a farmer’s perspective the more shipping options available the better. But if Churchill — Canada’s only northern deepwater port — ceases to export grain it won’t have much impact on the grain business because the volumes are so low. Last calendar year just 186,000 tonnes of grain were exported from Churchill by OmniTrax, the American company that in 1997 bought the port and rail line that runs 810 miles from The Pas. In the 2014-15 crop year, ending July 31, 2015, Churchill exported 472,000 tonnes of grain. The Port of Thunder Bay, which is where most of that grain would move otherwise, handled 8.2 million tonnes. Bottom line: Thunder Bay could’ve handled all Churchill’s traffic in just two weeks. The West moved 37.86 million tonnes of grain. Churchill saw just one per cent of it. Moreover, those exports were subsidized. Still, many farmers have a soft spot for Churchill and rightly so. Traditionally, Churchill, which is closer to some European, African and South American markets than Thunder Bay, has given grain farmers a freight advantage of up to $30 a tonne. But the ability to capture those savings disappeared Aug. 1, 2012, when the previous federal gov-

ernment ended the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly. Economic theory holds savings will be captured by grain companies and OmniTrax because farmers in the Churchill catchment area don’t have cheaper alternatives to force companies to share the benefits. Cheap ocean freight has also eroded Churchill’s advantage. More ‘salties’ (smaller ocean-going ships that can navigate the St. Lawrence Seaway’s locks) are coming to Thunder Bay, reducing the handling costs associated with moving grain via lakers to the lower St. Lawrence where it is unloaded, only to be loaded later on larger oceangoing ships. The double handle costs money. Wheat board supporters predicted Churchill’s demise, but it didn’t take great insight. Grain companies — even the farmer-owned pools — repeatedly said they preferred to ship grain through their own terminals. It makes sense to maximize your own assets and capture the value earned from grain blending and screenings. Before OmniTrax bought the 140,000-tonne-capacity Churchill terminal, it was owned by the federal government. The wheat board told grain companies where to deliver board grain. OmniTrax lacks a country elevator system to feed its northern facility and grain companies aren’t excited about the prospect of feeding it. “Of course we want to ship as much into our own terminals as we can,” Richardson International spokeswoman Tracey Shelton said in an interview July 28. “We want to use our facilities that we are investing money into and we

are continuously upgrading. And certainly Churchill does have some disadvantages.” The list of disadvantages is long: • The port has a short, three-month season, due to ice. The wheat board held grain back filling Churchill in late winter giving the port a running start when its season began in August. • The terminal, opened in 1931, is old, but has had some upgrades. • The rail line to Churchill, built on shifting permafrost, is in poor shape. Sometimes trains can only travel nine m.p.h. Derailments and delays are common. “ We j u s t c o m p l e t e d a m a s sive expansion (of our terminal) in Vancouver where we nearly doubled storage capacity,” Shelton added. “We are putting through grain and setting records for unload and loading times and really turning the facility many, many, many times a year.” Their 170,000-tonne terminal moves five million tonnes of grain a year and Richardson expects to crank it up to six million. The Port of Churchill has never had it easy. Getting it built was a struggle. The Canadian Northern Railway started to lay track from Winnipeg to Hudson Bay Junction in 1908, but declined to go north, despite federal government aid. With more government funds the next year, the railway headed to Nelson, which is farther south than Churchill, but work ceased during the First World War. When construction resumed it was decided to go north to Churchill where the water was deeper. The Hudson Bay line was completed in September 1929 at a cost of $45 mil-

lion, but it wasn’t until 1931 that the grain terminal began operating. When the news broke last week that the port, which is up for sale with the railway, wouldn’t ship grain this year, a lot of people were surprised given it’s easier to sell a “going concern.” It looked like a tactic to pressure governments. Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister later confirmed that it was. Governments have already spent $130 million on the port and railway and Pallister said July 28 he wouldn’t give in to a private, American company seeking more bailouts. The Port of Churchill and the railway are much more than the sum of their parts. They account for an estimated $40 million in economic activity. It’s unthinkable that the Manitoba and federal governments would abandon the line. And without the 70 or so direct jobs the grain terminal provides, employing about 10 per cent of the town’s population, some question Churchill’s viability. Sinclair Harrison, the former president of the Hudson Bay Route Association, which has lobbied for the northern port longer than it has existed, believes Churchill can succeed if it handles a million tonnes of grain a year. Climate change is already making the shipping season longer, but also makes the rail bed less stable. Former prime minister Stephen Harper pledged to establish an Arctic naval port. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should consider building it in Churchill. It would be a better use of government money than subsidizing grain exports from a port grain companies don’t want to use. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Keep an eye on the customer while on the combine Incredibly low tolerance levels and better testing make pesticide label adherence more important than ever BY CAM DAHL President of Cereals Canada

arren Buffet, once quipped, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.” This is something worth thinking about as we start to prepare for harvest. Canada has a strong reputation for consistently delivering safe, high-quality grain to our customers both here at home as well as offshore. The Canadian grain industry, including farmers, depends on this reputation to gain access to international markets. Every part of the value chain must do all that it can to preserve this hard-won reputation. Individual farmers play a critical role in preserving the “Canada brand,” especially at harvest. Some things that impact quality, like the weather, are outside of a farmer’s control. But many key grain safety factors are

100 per cent within a producer’s control. We can’t forget this as we rush to get the crop into the bin before rain and frost. We need to keep an eye on our customers while we are on the combine. There are two critical grain safety areas that farmers need to pay attention to this time of year, both related to the pre-harvest application of pesticides. The top 10 rules for pesticide application are all the same: “follow the label!” It is critically important for farmers and their staff to know and understand what is on the label for every product they apply. There are no conditions where it is acceptable to not follow the label. Shipments will be rejected if samples of vessel shipments contain residues that are above maximum limits. Fortunately this is a rare occurrence, but it’s an entirely preventable problem and it should simply never happen. There are two important elements of the label that require

special attention this time of year – applying too early and applying too late. Some products, like glyphosate, should not be applied while the crop is too green. The label for glyphosate indicates that application should not occur if the seeds are 30 per cent moisture or higher. And yes, this does include the low spots that are greener than the rest of the field. Application when seed moisture is above 30 per cent will result in absorption by the seed and consequently residues. Glyphosate is of particular interest because it has come under fire from those who do not support the use of pesticides for any reason. This despite the fact glyphosate has been repeatedly shown to be one of the safest agricultural chemicals in use. Farmers’ rigorous adherence to the science-based label will help blunt the criticism of the activists and keep this important product in our tool box for years to come. Each product

label also has a pre-harvest interval. This is the amount of time required in between pesticide application and harvest to ensure that the potential for residues is minimized. Some farmers might think to themselves, “combining a few days before the pre-harvest interval is up won’t really make a difference, right?” Or perhaps, “this is just one field, it won’t make a difference in the big picture.” This sentiment couldn’t be more wrong. Shipments of Canadian grain are tested for pesticide residues in parts per billion or even parts per trillion. Albert Einstein might have grasped the meaning of a part per trillion, but most of us can’t wrap our minds around this number. It might help to think of a part per trillion as one second in 32,000 years. Testing sensitivities at these minute levels means that even one producer not following the label can in fact result in customer concerns or even the rejection of shipments.

This brings up a final important point on pesticide application. There are times when a new product is approved in Canada but not approved in our export markets. If our customers have not approved a chemical they may adopt a zero tolerance for any residues. One part per trillion is a mind-numbingly small number, but it is bigger than zero. So before you use a product for the first time, talk to your grain buyer to make certain that there are no market concerns with its use. This conversation may prevent difficulties when it comes time to deliver. Individual producers can’t control everything that goes into our international reputation and brand. But they do control some of the most important factors. Think about this reputation as you meet the demands of getting a crop through to harvest and into the bin. Adhering to these guidelines will not just protect your reputation, it will ultimately protect the entire Canadian grain industry.

ing will emerge from it, but an event like this is about creating awareness... that’s a big part of it for us.” Sims said pulling off Sunday’s event has helped expand the community of those who love old-time threshing. “Many of us have this passion, as we found out when we started this event. We weren’t sure how many threshing machines were out there. But so many families, tractor clubs, ag societies had a machine.” Crews brought their machines from all over Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Alberta and Ontario, and several northern U.S. states including Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota. “We met so many new people working with these machines that will be lifelong friends and we will continue to be working with them,” Sims said. Paul Bourbonnais, visiting from St. Albert, Ont. and carrying the official Guinness World Record flag, said earlier in the day they were prepared to cede St. Albert’s record. “But then we’ll have to beat it again,” he said with a laugh. Prior to their record event in 2015, the Olde Tyme Harvest at Langenburg, Sask. had earned it in 2013 with 41 continuously operating threshing machines. Ian Down of Swan River, Man. remembers Langenburg. He was at Sunday’s event in Austin too He travelled with family members and brought the separator and a 1914 steam traction engine that’s been part of their family since the 1950s. “My grandpa restored them. Steam was in his blood,” said Down. His grandfather was one of the founding members of the Manitoba Agricultural Museum. His parents met here. “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for this place,” he said. First-time visitors to Austin were Larry Strandquist, Stan Eichhorn and Dave McCourt

who travelled 14 hours from Stettler, Alberta last week, bringing with them the oldest unit in the crowd, an 1887 ‘Little Giant.’ The wooden, hand-fed machine in its day would have been powered by a two-horse treadmill. It has lasted this long because it was indoors most of the last 129 years, explained Strandquist, a member of the P & H Elevator Restoration Society. The trek to Manitoba is the farthest afield the ‘Little Giant’ has ever been, he added.

harvesting hope

More than 7,000 spectators crowded the Manitoba Agricultural Museum site at Austin July 31 to observe a successful attempt to set a new record for the largest simultaneous threshing event. Harvesting Hope was also a fundraiser for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Of 148 machines that started the event, 139 completed the 15-minute run time required to count towards the record. There were 762 registered team members, who harvested 3,750 bushels of wheat using vintage farm equipment ranging from steam engines to early gasoline tractors. The most common threshing machines were various models of McCormick Deering, totalling 42 of the machines at the event.

“There were more machines here and more machines running than we’ve ever seen anywhere else in the world any time in history.” Elliot Sims

Nearby the Stettler crew was Adam Held with his crew from Egeland, North Dakota and another hand-fed machine antiquity, the 1890 ‘The Champion #1,” out of the local museum there. This was his first time visiting Austin, Held said, plus the first to see ‘The Champion #1” actually running, but he’s admittedly “got the bug” for old-time threshing, he said, and at age 23, he and his young crew were a sign enthusiasm for old-time threshing spans generations. “It’s fun and it’s a nice hobby to have,” he said, adding that Canadians visiting their show at Egeland last year urged them to be at the July 31 world-record attempt. This is the 62nd year of the Manitoba Thresherman’s Reunion and Stampede, which ran from July 28 through July 31.

Five tips for ‘Keeping it Clean’ from Cereals Canada With increased scrutiny from end-users farmers need to be vigilant to ensure their crops aren’t rejected 1. ALWAYS FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS WHEN USING CROP INPUT PRODUCTS Stick to the pre-harvest interval (PHI). The PHI (or Spray to Swath Interval) is the number of days that must pass between the last application of a pesticide and swathing or straight combining. Read labels carefully and check out the provincial Guides to Crop Protection or consult your local provincial agronomist for more information. After applying glyphosate wait seven to 14 days before harvesting. 2. DO NOT USE UNREGISTERED CROP INPUT PRODUCTS AND CONSIDER SPECIFIC MARKET RESTRICTIONS All herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and growth regulators must be registered for use by the Pest

Management Regulatory Agency before farmers can apply the product. Canada sets maximum residue limits (MRLs) on a crop-by-crop basis. In some cases, a product is registered in Canada without a maximum residue limit (MRL) established in our major export markets. This means that cereal crops treated with these pesticides may not be in compliance with the regulations of the importing country. In addition, customers may have their own restrictions. Check that your buyer accepts grain treated with the pesticides used (e.g. glyphosate on malt barley or oats). Ensure that the grain will meet the export requirements in the destination country. 3. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE CEREAL STORAGE RECOMMENDATION Best practices in cereal storage will

help avoid the downgrading of your grain due to cross-contamination, chemical residues, loss of vigour or the formation of harmful mycotoxins such as ochratoxin A (OTA). OTA forms during storage of grains at higher moistures and is a potent toxin. A number of countries have strict regulations for residues in food and feed. Ensure your storage bins are free of treated seed (which contains pesticides) and animal protein such as blood meal and bone meal. Clean bins thoroughly prior to storing grain and only use approved bin treatments such as diatomaceous earth. Ensure that crops are harvested or dried to a safe level for storage. Keep grain in a bin that is cool, dry and well ventilated. Check bins regularly for heating, spoilage, insect infestations or other storage problems.

4. GROW DISEASE-RESISTANT VARIETIES AND USE PRACTICES THAT REDUCE INFECTION 5. DELIVER WHAT YOU SAY YOU’VE DELIVERED When you sign a Declaration of Eligibility affidavit at the elevator you are making a legal assertion that your grain is of the class to which you declare and correctly states whether your grain may contain residues of any crop input product that is specified in the declaration. It is a legally binding document. Any intentional or unintentional mistake in declaration traced back through retained samples will expose individuals and their farms to significant liability. We raise these concerns to ensure that individual producers and the reputation of Canadian export sales are each protected and preserved. Source: Cereals Canada

levels, which could prompt buyers to reject the crop. “Staging for pre-harvest (glyphosate) is really critical,” de Rocquigny said. “You are actually applying it when the crop is physiologically mature. “The final yield has been determined at that point.” Farmers should also check with buyers before applying pre-harvest glyphosate, she added. Most maltsters don’t want barley treated with the non-selective weed killer and some oat buyers have the same policy.

Seed growers shouldn’t apply pre-harvest glyphosate either because glyphosate can reduce germination. Swathing is an alternative to pre-harvest glyphosate and done when wheat is also in the hard-dough stage, de Rocquigny said. “There are pros and cons to swathing,” she added. “Grain in the swath can be more prone to pre-harvest sprouting under adverse weather conditions. A standing crop will weather a little bit better, but swathing is still an option out there available to producers.” If glyphosate is applied before the crop is mature the herbicide taken into the plant can be transferred to the seed resulting it glyphosate levels exceeding the allowed maximum residue limit — a concern that’s growing among end-users and grain companies. “Any time... things are on the radar they tend to check a little bit more closely,” de Rocquigny said. “So if you are planning a pre-harvest glyphosate application... you definitely have to make sure you are applying it at the right staging. It’s better to go a little late than a little too early.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

German agriculture under the microscope Farmers are pursuing sustainability against a backdrop of increasing public scrutiny BY LAURA RANCE Co-operator Editor, Rommerskirchen, Germany

“

ere are our ‘plant protection’ products,” Willi Kremer Schilling told a delegation of foreign journalists as they entered the fortress-like warehouse at the BuirBilesheimer Agricultural Co-operative. “I never say ‘pesticides,” he said. “These are ‘medicines’ for plants.” Willi is one of the 1,150-member coop’s farmer-directors and he proudly hosts tours of its new grain-handling and farm supply facility located about an hour outside of Bonn in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state. But he’s better known in his home country as Bauer (Farmer) Willi after he dived into the deepening chasm between farmers and consumers with a “Dear Consumer” letter he posted online in January 2015. “I was very, very angry, and when I’m angry, I write,” he told his visitors. He saw red after seeing the payment stub for a load of non-contract potatoes his neighbour delivered to the french fry factory. The farmer received one euro cent per kg. “I’m completely fed up today,” starts his rant against low prices, tightening regulations, increasing paperwork, and fickle consumer perceptions about modern food production. “You, dear consumer, only want one thing: cheapness. And you also have demands. Your food should be GMO free, gluten free, lactose free, cholesterol free, low in calories… and if fertilized, then organic. But it shouldn’t stink, and when the fields are organically fertilized, it shouldn’t be done near you. “Of course, it can’t be sprayed with pesticides, but it has to look tip-top, with no spots — most likely you’d prefer that we plow the fields with horses... and then the tractors wouldn’t be in your way when you go jogging down our farm paths... “... Why am I writing all of this? To give you a sense of how it feels to be in my situation... Yes, we are running a business. But we are not locusts: we can’t, (and don’t want to), just move somewhere else after it’s all been eaten away.” It goes on for two pages, single spaced.

Viral By morning, his tirade had received 8,000 views. Within two weeks, it had been read by 300,000. Views are now at six million and rising. His letter has been translated into other languages. Then came radio and television interviews, and most recently, a book. “I used all the bad words I know — pesticides, glyphosate, genetic engineering,” he said with a grin. “But I show my point of view as a farmer, and that is very different from the city citizens.” Bauer Willi regularly dialogues with non-farmers on his Facebook page by outlining the dilemmas farmers face. One of his latest posts talks about the

trade-offs between herbicides and tillage when controlling weeds in the field post-harvest. “Do I spray it with glyphosate or drive three times with the tractor over it?” he said, noting tillage means more emissions, more fuel, more time and more field compaction. “The city people say, ‘don’t spray glyphosate’; the farm guys say, ‘don’t drive the tractor,’” he said. He makes no apologies for the choices farmers make. “I am not ‘explaining’ anything, I am telling stories and those stories are emotional,” he said. “I don’t want to reach the brain, but the heart.” Bauer Willi’s frustration is widely shared among German farmers, who number only one million in a country of nearly 82 million. The need to accommodate consumers and governments, while adjusting to a shrinking share of their spending, permeates all aspects of agriculture.

“I am not ‘explaining’ anything, I am telling stories and those stories are emotional. I don’t want to reach the brain, but the heart.” Bauer Willie

Face to face Information provided by the German Ministry of Food and Agriculture notes despite the country’s dense population, half of its territory is in agricultural production. It is one of the top four agricultural producers in Europe. So the interaction between farmers and non-farmers is constant and intensifying as the focus shifts towards sustainability. In Neuss, about an hour outside of Bonn, Berd Olligs has combined his sixth-generation crop farm with the Bayer ForwardFarm program, one of 22 sites in the country at which Bayer researchers and farmer co-operators explore ways to make modern farming more sustainable. Olligs feels farmers’ every move is watched with suspicion. For example, farmers spray when there is little wind,

Toy tractors, and games tables have replaced cows in an old dairy shed on the Victor farm. Opening up their farm to vacationers has proven far more lucrative than cows.

“We can stop point source from the farmyard 100 per cent.” David Lembrich Bayer CropScience Deutschland

Researcher Patrick Lind explains how biodiversity on German farms can be improved with pollinator havens — small areas of land that provide wild pollinators with flowering plants and places for them to rest and nest.

David Lembrich of Bayer CropScience discusses the Dutch-designed Phytobac, which uses straw and soil to remove herbicides from water used to wash out sprayers.

which often means spraying into the evening or before everyone else is up in the morning. “People think that if you are spraying when most people are sleeping then you are doing something illegal,” he said. Part of the research on his farm involves planting demonstration plots of weeds, a travesty to his father who remembers hand pulling those same plants in a bid to reclaim food security in the postwar years. In a part of the world that has known hunger, modern crop protection products represent much more than improved incomes. There was a time when controlling the pests meant having enough to eat. A host of projects underway at the Olligs’ farm tests strategies and technologies that improve water and soil management, increase biodiversity, increase the precision of using chemical inputs and provide pollinator havens.

Innovations Those projects include some remarkable innovations, such as the Phytobac, a Dutch-designed remediation system for water contaminated with pesticides that uses only soil and straw. Crop farmers in Germany are required to capture the water used to wash out sprayers, which has been identified as a primary source of waterway contamination. “Fifty per cent of pollution comes from farmyards, and the rest from the fields,” said David Lembrich of Bayer CropScience Deutschland. Preventing run-off from the fields is problematic, but “we can stop point source from the farmyard 100 per cent.” Using units that cost between 8,000 to 10,000 euros (C$11,500 to $14,500) the farm operator can flow the contaminated water into an open-air container filled with the right mix of dirt, straw and at the correct temperature. The moisture evaporates and the microbes break down the herbicides. Sustainable solutions for agriculture are out there, but the inescapable reality for farmers is that each layer of sustainability comes at a cost, either through upfront investment in new technology or reduced income because of changes in how they farm. Meanwhile, governments are getting more stingy with taxpayer support and markets are sagging under the weight of too much supply.

Dairy crisis The dairy sector has been particularly hard hit since the European Union ended its quota system in April 2015. Many farmers had expanded their production in anticipation of new markets in Russia, China and perhaps even Canada under its new trade deal with the EU. Those markets have yet to materialize. Instead, the market crashed under the weight of surplus production. Today, milk is selling in supermarkets at less than the cost of bottled water, well below the cost of production. The EU Common Agricultural Policy recently stepped up with 500 million euros (C$720 million) in support for farmers who voluntarily curb milk production. Many would like to see a return to supply management. Markus Legge has some advice for Canadian dairy farmers contemplating a deregulated market. “It would be the greatest mistake farmers can do,” he said. “Keep it.” Legge is surviving what’s commonly referred to as the “dairy crisis” because he switched his 80-ha dairy farm to organic production. Most of his farmland is only suitable for forage so it’s tailor-made to the organic way. As well, he bought two robotic milking stations and took them to the paddocks. The mobile robotic milkers, which reduce the amount of hired labour he needs, are set up in his paddocks for three seasons when the cows are on pasture. They are then moved to the yard for the winter, when the cows are off the fields. He has lower production costs and he receives a higher price for his milk, more than double what conventional dairy farmers receive when premiums for quality and subsidies for sustainable farming practices are considered. But even the organic market goes through volatile price swings relative to available supply. Organic suppliers are routinely asked to limit their deliveries to their processor until markets recover. Legge is working with two other local farmers on a plan to build their own dairy-processing facility as a means of securing a stable market for their milk. Elmar and Iris Victor, another dairy farming family in the area, opted to convert their old dairy shed into vacation apartments instead of increasing their herd.

German farmers feel squeezed between intensifying pressure on their production practices and tightening margins.

“It was a question of what we would do because the income was not sufficient from 40 cows,” Iris said through an interpreter. Offering urbanites a week on the farm where the kids can ride ponies, play in a forest and milk a pretend cow surrounded by the aroma of a working dairy farm has proven far more lucrative. They enjoy an 80 per cent occupancy rate with many repeat customers.

Attractive alternative If there was any doubt as to how deeply influenced German agriculture is by the linkage between farming, sustainability and social licence, one only need visit the Campus Klein-Altendorf, where lead researcher and CEO Ralph Pude oversees a portfolio of projects focusing on renewable energy. He is particularly excited about Silphium perfoliatum, also known as the “cup plant,” a sunflower-like perennial native to Missouri. “My opinion is that in the future, this would be a substitute for corn or maize,” Pude said. For starters, it is bee friendly, providing both a rich source of pollen and high yields of honey. As well, the leaves of the plant form a cup around the stem that holds water for pollinators and birds. The cupping makes it drought tolerant too. Secondly, it is a prolific perennial that provides an ongoing source of biomass for energy or livestock feed. The square stalks contain a fibrous material that shows promise as a natural source of insulation. But then Pude mentions an attribute that wasn’t even on the radar when assessing new crops for agriculture a generation ago. It’s pretty. “Corn is not flowering, and the public recognizes it as a wall of just plants,” Pude said. “This is pleasing to look at.” laura@fbcpublishing.com

Biomass researcher Ralph Pude says Silphium perfoliatum, also known as “the cup plant” could be an alternative to maize in the future.

ust a few hundred cattle made their way to market in Manitoba during the week ended July 29. Many stockyards remain closed for the summer season or have turned to biweekly offerings due to a lack of activity. Out of the nine major auction marts in the province, just one had a sale with enough animals to record a full market report. Prices continue to hover at low levels, largely due to action in U.S. futures. One market analyst says there are some bright spots emerging, however. “It has been a better week ( July 25-29) in the U.S. from a futures market perspective. That’s significant because we’ve seen futures market (all of 2016) low cattle prices, some of the lowest in four years,” said Anne Wasko of Gateway Livestock Marketing at Taber, Alta. According to reports out of Chicago, feedlot operators across much of the U.S. haven’t been selling a lot of cattle in the cash market recently, due to the softness in futures. Howe ve r, p a c k e r m a rg i n s h a ve b e e n climbing, which has spawned ideas that increased bids at cattle auctions could be coming soon. “Hopefully with the stronger futures market, we’ll see that follow through into cash trade in the U.S.,” she said. Retail sales also need to be better, Wasko said. “We’ve got to sell more beef and we’ve got to get that done at the lower prices.”

During the past winter and spring, she said, the market was cleaning out an excess of cattle and since then, supplies have tightened up. “We know operators in the feedlot are going to need to recoup some margins; it’s been a disastrous 12-18 months for them both in the U.S. and Canada,” said Wasko. One good thing for Canadian ranchers is that feed grain prices in the U.S. and Canada will likely stay low as the market heads into fall and winter. “So even though the crop guys might not be excited about what’s happened on that front, that has some better implications from a cost perspective to livestock producers,” she said. With prices falling off the highs of 2015, it begs the question of whether cattlemen will take fewer animals to market this fall. “We always have those kinds of questions when we head into an uncertain time frame. As we head closer to when producers make those decisions, market expectations will be a factor,” Wasko said.

McDonald’s USA has removed antibiotics important to human health from its chicken supply chain months ahead of schedule, the company announced Aug. 1. McDonald’s had previously planned to stop buying chicken raised with antibiotics important to human medicine from its suppliers, Tyson Foods Inc. and Keystone Foods, by March 2017. It completed the change earlier due to quicker-

than-expected work by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which helped to verify that birds were not given the drugs, said Marion Gross, senior vicepresident of McDonald’s North America supply chain. Some health experts have raised concerns that the overuse of antibiotics for poultry may diminish their effectiveness in fighting disease in humans. Company president Mike Andreas also said the company is replacing corn syrup with sugar in its hamburger buns and eliminating artificial preservatives in its Chicken McNuggets and several breakfast items including scrambled eggs.

The changes will affect about half the chain’s U.S. menu items, with more changes to come, all a result of a shift in consumer tastes toward healthier, more natural foods and to compete with other restaurants that are overhauling their menus to feature items free of processed ingredients. Some consumers have turned away from products containing highfructose corn syrup, which is derived from cornstarch, because of concerns it may be linked to obesity. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said it is unaware of any differences in the safety of either sweetener.

reports and more from Commodity News Service Canada,

CE Futures Canada canola contracts fell to their lowest levels of the past year during the last trading week of the 2015-16 crop year. However, once the lows were in on Monday, canola spent the rest of the week correcting higher. Funds had built up a rather sizable net short position in canola, leaving the door open for a profit-taking bounce. End-user demand also came forward at the lows, with both exporters and domestic crushers taking advantage of some highly profitable margins. Crush margins, as calculated by ICE Futures Canada, were sitting at over $120 per tonne relative to the November futures as of July 29. That’s roughly double the levels seen at this time a year ago, when processors were only making about $60 for every tonne of canola crushed. While the posted margins don’t necessarily tell the full story of what end-users are making, they are a good indicator of the trend. Grainhandling data posted by the Canadian Grain Commission shows canola exports as of July 24 hit 9.989 million tonnes, up by over 1.7 million tonnes from the same point the previous year, with only one week left in the 2015-16 crop year. The domestic crush pace also remains very strong, with 8.698 million tonnes crushed to date. That’s well above the 6.536 million tonnes processed during the same 51-week period the previous year. The solid demand is cutting into supplies, with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada pegging ending stocks as of July 31 at 1.35 million tonnes — about a million tonnes tighter than supplies at the same point in 2015 — and many industry participants remain of the opinion that actual stocks may be smaller still. With a carry-over of at least a million tonnes lower than the previous year, and with both exports and the crush expected to remain

strong, all eyes now are on the current production prospects. The Canadian canola crop is generally thought to be in good shape overall, but there are areas of concern and the nearby price direction will depend somewhat on weather heading into harvest. In the U.S., soybeans moved higher during the week, while wheat was down and corn narrowly mixed. Soybeans saw a pattern similar to canola’s, dropping initially and then correcting higher, with weakness in the U.S. dollar index contributing to the eventual correction. U.S. weather is the big thing to watch for in soybeans these days, with shifting forecasts leading to big moves in the futures. The weather should provide direction for corn as well, but that market remains a bit more subdued, with losses in wheat putting some spillover pressure on the market. The U.S. winter wheat harvest is wrapping up, with yields beating expectations for the most part. The spring wheat harvest is just getting started, and seasonal pressure is at play in the futures. Wheat crops elsewhere in the world are a mixed bag. Problems in France were deemed supportive, but reports out of Russia and Eastern Europe are pointing to decent world production overall.

Western Canadian wheat bids tick downward Cash wheat prices slip on some strengthening in the Canadian dollar BY DAVE SIMS CNS Canada

pring wheat cash bids across We s t e r n C a n a d a r e c o r d e d minor losses during the week ended July 29. The declines were traced to weakness in U.S. futures and some minor strengthening in the Canadian dollar. Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were down $3 per tonne, according to price quotes from a cross-section of deliver y points across the Prairie provinces compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about $197 per tonne in southeastern Saskatchewan to as high as $209 in parts of Alberta. Quoted basis levels varied from

location to location, losing anywhere from $1 to $4 on average to range from $18 to $30 per tonne above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollar-denominated futures and Canadian dollar cash bids. When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$150 to US$160 per tonne. That would put the currency-adjusted basis levels at about US$19-$29 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 $27 to $39 below the futures. Average Canada Prairie Spring

Average durum prices were down $1-$7 per tonne, depending on the location.

Red (CPSR) bids came in at about $160 per tonne in Saskatchewan, and $168-$171 per tonne in Alberta. Average durum prices were down $1-$7 per tonne, depending on the location, with bids in Saskatchewan ranging from roughly $249 to $253 per tonne. The September spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts in Canada are based, was quoted at US$4.8825 per bushel on July 29, down seven U.S. cents per bushel from the previous week.

Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The September K.C. wheat contract was quoted at US$4.0975 per bushel on July 29, down 9.25 U.S. cents compared to the previous week. The September Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled at US$4.0775 on July 29, down by 17.5 U.S. cents on the week. The Canadian dollar closed July 29 at 76.59 U.S. cents, up nearly half a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart on the week.

McDonald’s backs Manitoba research project Newly established beef and forage research farm recently opened its doors to showcase value to sector

Minister of agriculture, Ralph Eichler photos: supplied

cDonald’s Canada sees itself as a longtime partner of the Manitoba beef industry. It contributed $25,000 in February to the Manitoba Beef and Forage Industry for a collaborative project of science-based research to enhance ecosystems, producer profitability and build awareness of the beef and forage industry. One McDonald’s executive says the now-completed pilot is just the beginning. “Now that the pilot is over we are looking at initiatives like the Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiative (MBFI) that will help us to support and aid the industry get to the next level,” said Jeffery Fitzpatrick-Stilwell, senior manager of sustainability for McDonald’s Canada. “Things are really good in the Canadian beef sector. But, they can always get better and we want to support that.” He added the restaurant chain is interested in engaging the beef industry in a meaningful and transformational way, and goes beyond simple marketing window dressing. “This wasn’t just a sponsorship to get our logo on something, we really saw the value in this initiative specifically,” Fitzpatrick-Stilwell said. “This will add real value and we see the long-term benefits.” The contribution to MBFI came on the heels of the conclusion of the McDonald’s Canada’s sustainable beef project, which was the corporation’s single-largest global investment in sustainable beef. “We are honoured to be selected for this contribution,” said Ramona Blyth, chair of the MBFI board. “McDonald’s and MBFI are both working on the same goal of strengthening the sustainability in our industry so to have its support is huge.” On July 26, MBFI hosted a McDonald’s Day

Ramona Blyth, chair of the MBFI board

Production Tour at its Brookdale research farm to recognize the contribution and give producers and the public a chance to get on site. “This research farm was just a base thought 18 months ago. We have put a lot of sweat equity into getting here today,” Blyth said. “Infrastructure is up and running, cattle are on the landscape, and our key projects have been started.”

Collaborative mindset Fitzpatrick-Stilwell says the MBFI project drew McDonald’s Canada’s attention because of its collaboration with industry stakeholders and its holistic approach to improving both the beef and forage sector. “When MBFI started discussing how it was bringing non-government organizations, government, academic and other groups all together, it was just music to our ears,” Fitzpatrick Stilwell said. “That is how we want to work. We are not the experts, we want to work with those who are and we want to be a part of that story.” MBFI’s four core partners include Manitoba Forage and Grasslands Association, Manitoba Beef Producers, Ducks Unlimited and Manitoba Agriculture, but the organization also strives to partner with research and education facilities and other stakeholders with interest in advancing the industry. “We have learnt over time that not one person can do all, so if we bring different groups together that are looking for the same outcome, we have more power in numbers,” Blyth said. Fitzpatrick-Stilwell says that McDonald’s Canada has not committed to any further monetary support to MBFI at this time but will certainly keep tabs on the initiative’s progress. “Part of why I am here today is to see what is being worked on and the support that is being shown by other groups as well as the provincial government,” Fitzpatrick-Stilwell said.

Jeffery Fitzpatrick-Stilwell, senior manager of sustainability for McDonald’s Canada

Provincial support Provincial Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler was on hand at the production day tour and says the province is highly supportive of MBFI and he thinks the research being conducted at the farm will be a critical vehicle in rebuilding the province’s cattle numbers. “We want to see our cattle numbers grow and this initiative will help us do that,” Eichler said. “This is just a fantastic opportunity for producers to learn through shared partnerships, and at the end of the day, that is what it is all about, what we can learn and take back to the farm.” Eichler says there are approximately 450,000 beef cattle in the province and he wants to see those numbers grow back to where they sat before BSE, around 750,000. “It is a significant gain. I see it probably taking eight to nine years. I know that it is ambitious but... I want to see those numbers grow,” Eichler said. Eichler adds that the government certainly has a role in creating growth in the beef sector but in the instance of MBFI, a supportive role is best. “This should not be run by government but certainly supported by government. When we look at the partnerships that are involved in this initiative, it is a win-win for everyone,” Eichler said. Blyth believes there is great value in having applied research conducted on Manitoba soil and knows MBFI can play a part in strengthening the sector’s numbers. “As national leaders have told us from time to time, research is the critical component of the National Beef Strategy and we want to see more of that research done on the ground here in Manitoba so that our producers can use the information on their operations,” Blyth said. jennifer.paige@fbcpublishing.com

Hoof care isn’t all about the hoof A horse’s lifestyle and diet can make a major difference in hoof health Carol Shwetz

Horse Health

By Carol Shwetz, DVM Co-operator contributor

he hoof responds to everything it experiences in its environment as well as everything going on within the body. Inseparably tied to the body, a sound foot depends on more than a correct trim. This in no way dismisses or diminishes the importance of a proper hoof trim, rather places the trim in its rightful place. More and more professionals of horse care are broadening their focuses to include animal health and welfare for solutions to hoof problems. Horses need suitable feeding to grow healthy hooves. Critical attention to the diet c a n d ra m a t i c a l l y i m p r ov e hoof form. When the diet of a horse contains a disproportionate amount of grains, processed feeds, processed supplements and high in sugars and starches the majority of horses’ hooves will not be healthy. When a house is built, the quality of materials and resources used in structuring and assembling the house matters greatly towards the value of the final product. This simple principle is equally applicable to the growth and development of a horse’s hooves. The majority of raw materials offered in the horse’s diet for structural growth of the hoof needs to come from long-stem forages, otherwise structural integrity and attachment of the hoof capsule suffers. Due to the physical demands imposed on the hoof by carrying a 1,000lb. animal, vulnerabilities in its structural integrity are quickly revealed and exposed if proper care, feeding, and management are not present. The distinctive crosslinks and molecular binding between substances of the hoof matrix demand a level of exactness in the minerals provided by the diet. Silica, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, sulphur, and selenium, to name but a few. The ratio of minerals to one another also has a direct influence on the bioavailability of any one mineral. The bioavailability of a mineral is of great importance because it determines the value the mineral itself has towards the horse’s health. If the diet offered to the horse is not of proper quality, quantity and balance it derails structural integrity and resilience of the hoof matrix and creates a “weak” -footed horse. No trim mechanics will “fix” such. Growth and development of the hoof is very dependent upon the level of sugars, mineral profile, and antioxidants derived from the diet. Quality forage is of the greatest value to the diet of the horse and when well chosen, will meet the majority of nutrient needs. Then, abundant fresh clean

water, free-choice loose salt, and minerals will generally balance out the remainder. Another important consideration for hoof health is the horse’s body weight. Hooves function to absorb the concussive forces of impact upon we i g h t b e a r i n g , t h e re f o re if a horse is carrying body we i g h t b e yo n d i d e a l , t h e hooves become burdened. Furthermore, adipose and/or fatty tissue is no longer considered to be just a source for storing energy, rather it is now recognized to be an organ with the ability to produce hormones and inflammatory proteins. As such, this generalized inflammation in the body has numerous ill outcomes, one of which is laminitis and/or founder. The concept that the body is nourished by the diet is widely accepted. It is also becoming

“More and more professionals of horse care are broadening their focuses to include animal health and welfare for solutions to hoof problems.”

increasingly evident that movement is equally nourishing to the animal’s body and as such, movement is coming to be recognized as a necessary and essential nutrient to health. Recent scientific studies in the rapidly expanding area of epigenetics is revealing that physical expression of form is strongly linked to mechanical stimulation. Although not readily obvious to the naked eye, the expansion, contraction, and distortion cycle of weight bearing on the hoof is necessary for creating and maintain-

ing a healthy foot. The hoof relies on movement and/or physical stimulation to maintain its healthy elasticity and blood flow. Movement influences the form of the hoof that is expressed and is crucial for health and healing. The hoof is the end point of a moving lever — the leg. Therefore the kinematic nature of the horse’s stride or the way the horse moves its entire body does make a difference to how the hoof impacts the ground. Irregular leg movement can be a source of imbalanced wear

to the hooves. Dental work, ill-fitting tack such as a poorfitting saddle, and horsemanship whether via groundwork or riding, all influence the horse’s movement. The hoof must respond accordingly. Saddle fit and rider balance can have dramatic effects on the growth and development of hooves. The source of difference between a “good” -footed horse and a “weak” -footed horse can come from surprisingly and seemingly unrelated areas of a horse’s lifestyle and environment. Embracing these possibilities creates a broader understanding, connecting the whole horse to the health of the hoof — revealing how truly inseparable the two are.

Dolly sheep clones reach ripe old age The study results are reassuring after Dolly’s early death By Ben Hirschler London / Reuters

he heirs of Dolly the sheep are enjoying a healthy old age, proving cloned animals can live normal lives and offering reassurance to scientists hoping to use cloned cells in medicine. Dolly, cloning’s poster child, was born in Scotland in 1996. She died prematurely in 2003, aged six, after developing osteoarthritis and a lung infection, raising concerns that cloned animals may age more quickly than normal offspring. Now researchers have allayed those fears by reporting that 13 cloned sheep, including four genomic copies of Dolly, are still in good shape at between seven and nine years of age, or the equivalent of 60 to 70 in human years. “Overall, the results are suggesting that these animals are remarkably healthy,” said Kevin Sinclair of the University of Nottingham, whose team reported their findings in the journal Nature Communications on Tuesday. It is the first time experts have made such a detailed agerelated health assessment of cloned animals, looking at factors such as blood pressure, diabetes risk and joint damage. W h i l e n o a n i m a l s w e re lame, there were signs of mild osteoarthritis in some sheep and one had moderate disease, which scientists said was to be expected at their age. Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, using a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This involved taking a sheep egg, removing its DNA and replacing it with DNA from a frozen udder cell of a sheep that died years before. The egg was then zapped with electricity to make it grow like a fertilized embryo. No sperm were involved. Dolly’s creation triggered fears of human reproductive cloning, or producing genetic copies of living or dead peo-

ple, but mainstream scientists have ruled this out as far too dangerous. In s t e a d , t h e h o p e i s t o develop “therapeutic cloning,” in which cloned cells could be used to regenerate faulty tissue. Dolly’s healthy heirs offer encouragement for regenerative medicine, although the SCNT process remains tricky and many would-be clones still fail to develop properly, despite technical advances since Dolly’s birth. “This shows cells can undergo complete reprogramming and it’s reassuring to know that cells can be perfectly normal,” Sinclair said. “The challenge going forward is to increase the proportion of cells that undergo this complete reprogramming or better select for that.”

Parkinson’s disease The four sheep cloned using the same genetic material as for Dolly — called Debbie, Denise, Dianna and Daisy — have just had their ninth birthdays and, together with nine other clones, are part of a unique flock based in Nottingham. Un l i k e D o l l y, w h o w a s housed indoors for security reasons, today’s clones live mainly outside, which may be one factor behind their relative health, since sheep kept in barns can be susceptible to infections. Cloning is already used in some U.S. food production, although not in Europe. But the big hope is to produce human stem cells that could

replace damaged tissue in devastating conditions like Parkinson’s disease or spinal cord injuries. Work on stem cell medicine has been hobbled in the past by technical challenges as well as ethical issues but it received a boost three years ago when biologists finally c re a t e d h u m a n s t e m c e l l s using the same process that produced Dolly. Until then, the most natu-

Another approach involves adding genes to adult cells to turn back their biological clocks, creating so-called induced pluripotent stem cells that behave like embryo n i c o n e s. T h e l o n g - t e r m safety of these cells has still to be established.

Rapid, low-temperature process adds weeks to milk’s shelf life Process rapidly heats and then cools milk by 10 C STAFF

urdue University researchers say they have developed a milkpreservation system using a lower temperature than pasteurization, but providing a longer shelf life. The researchers found that increasing the temperature of milk by 10 C for less than a second and then cooling it rapidly eliminates more than 99 per cent of the bacteria left behind after pasteurization. “It’s an add-on to pasteurization, but it can add shelf life of up to five, six or seven weeks to cold milk,” associate professor, Bruce Applegate said in a Purdue release.

The release said the lowt e m p e ra t u re, s h o r t - t i m e ( LT S T ) m e t h o d s p r a y e d tiny droplets of pasteurized milk inoculated with lactobacillus and pseudomonas bacteria through a heated, pressurized chamber, rapidly raising and lowering their temperatures about 10 C but still below the 70 C threshold needed for pasteurization.

Applegate said the process could be tested without pasteurization to determine if it could stand alone as a treatment for eliminating harmful bacteria from milk.

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

Only a slight chance of thunderstorms Issued: Monday, August 1, 2016 · Covering: August 3 – August 10, 2016 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

e finally saw some sustained dry weather during this last forecast period, but as forecast, thunderstorms did make an appearance late in the long weekend, bringing some rain to our region. For this forecast period, it looks like the drier weather will stick around as high pressure once again dominates. Just like the last forecast, that doesn’t mean there’ll not be any thunderstorms kicking around. In fact, this forecast period will begin with an area of low pressure tracking quickly through our region, bringing more clouds than sun, along with the chance of some showers and thundershowers. This system should be off to our east by Thursday, with high pressure building in for the rest of the week and over the weekend. This high will bring mainly sunny skies and lower humidities and typical midsum-

mer temperatures, with highs expected to be in the mid- to upper 20s and overnight lows in the mid-teens. The weather models show this high slowly moving off to the east by Monday or Tuesday of next week. This will place us in a southerly flow that will help bring a return to high humidities. It will also allow a weak area of low pressure to slide through our region, bringing with it a mix of sun and clouds along with the chance of the odd shower or thunderstorm. Temperatures look to continue warm, with high pressure building back in by Wednesday. Looking further ahead, the weather models show relatively dry and warm weather continuing right through to at least the middle of August. Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 23 to 31 C; lows, 13 to 18 C. Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies during the 30 days ending July 28. Across Manitoba very few areas reported below-average amounts, with most areas seeing near- to above-average amounts. Farther west, it was a very wet period across much of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Hot, dry weather to end the summer? July saw a cool start, followed by warmer air, for near-average temperatures overall BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

or me, when I look back at the weather of July 2016, all I can think about is just how cold and wet the first half of the month was — but that was because I was away for two weeks, camping in the mountains where it was very cold and wet. Being on top of the weather while I was away, at least to the best of my abilities, I was also aware that I was not suffering alone; it was also fairly cold and wet across most of southern and central Manitoba during the first two weeks of July. Luckily for everyone, I came back from camping around the middle of the month, which allowed temperatures to warm up nicely, and we saw average to above-average temperatures during the second half of the month. Seriously, though, after the c o l d a n d we t s t a r t t o t h e month, I think everyone welcomed the warm yet somewhat humid weather that moved in for the second half of the month. The only problem with the warm and humid weather was that it helped to trigger some pretty strong

thunderstorms, which ended up bringing even more rain. When all was said and done, just how did July turn out weather-wise across our r e g i o n ? S u r p r i s i n g l y, t h e month overall was not as cold as many people made it out to be. After the fairly cold start to the month the warm/hot air finally did arrive for the second half of the month. When you put these two together, they basically cancelled each other out and we ended up with near-average temperat u re s f o r t h e m o n t h . T h e Brandon region was the “hot spot,” at least compared to average, with a mean monthly temperature 0.1 C above average. The Dauphin region came in at 0.2 C below average and the Winnipeg region was the “cold spot” with a reading 0.4 C below average. Precipitation dur ing the month was above average

across all three of our main regions, with the Brandon region seeing the wettest conditions and the Dauphin region the driest. Brandon, during July, reported nearly 100 mm of rainfall, about 25 mm above average. Winnipeg reported about 85 mm of rain, about 10 mm above average, and Dauphin reported 75 mm of rain — pretty much right on the average of 73 mm. So, as you can see, while it was a wetterthan-average month, it was not overly wet. The question then is, why did it seem like such a wet month in some places? The answer to that question is threefold. First of all, some areas received much more rain in July than what our three main locations reported. Secondly, the first two weeks of July were cloudy, cool and wet, which meant evaporation rates were low. Thirdly, in a number of areas, this cool, wet start to

the month followed a fairly wet end of June that had already saturated the ground, leaving no room for more rainfall.

Who called it? All in all, it turns out July 2016 saw near-average temperatures with average to above-average amounts of precipitation. Now the fun part: Who was best able to predict the weather? Looking back it would appear I will have to give the nod to the Canadian Farmers’ Almanac. Its forecast did call for several rounds of showers and thunderstorms, which to me meant above-average precipitation. It also only talked about fair weather or cooler weather, which to me meant near- to slightly below-average temperatures. I did correctly forecast a switch to warmer and drier weather during the second half of the month, but I was pretty noncommittal when it came to a final forecast, so I had to count me out. Now, on to August’s forecast. Environment Canada is sending out a few mixed signals with its three-month Augustto-October forecast, calling for above-average temperatures, but its one-month August forecast calls for below-avera g e t e m p e ra t u re s. It o n l y

produces a three-month precipitation forecast and it calls for near- to below-average amounts of rainfall. So, I guess its August forecast is for nearto below-average temperatures and precipitation. The Old Farmer’s Almanac calls for well-above-average temperatures and fairly dry conditions in August. The Canadian Farmers’ Almanac appears to call for a hot start to the month, with more average temperatures during the second half. Precipitation looks to be near average, with only a few mentions of showers and thunderstorms. Finally, here is my forecast for August, and I will try not to be as wishy-washy as I was last month. The current medium-range weather models show fairly warm and relatively dry conditions continuing through to at least the middle of the month. I feel that if this does pan out, we have probably seen a switch in our weather pattern and the warm, dry weather will continue. So, I am going to go with above-average temperatures in August along with near- to below-average amounts of rain. Now I just need to cross my fingers and see what actually happens.

There’s an economic case for strip till The technique can save time and organic matter when it comes to soybean production BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff/Carman

hile strip till has long been shown to have ecological benefits, a recent field day at the Ian N. Morrison Research Farm suggests there are also economic ones for producers to consider. “We have basically made a case study where we compare one pass, versus two passes,” said Patrick Walther, speaking to a group of farmers during the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers annual SMART day in Carman last week. He noted conventional systems generally involve two passes with the disc, whereas strip tillage uses a single pass. “So fewer passes will save a little bit,” he said. The University of Manitoba graduate student has been studying the effects of corn residue management in soybean production for the last year and a half, but said producers should also look at the value of their time when making tillage decisions. “With strip till you can save on time and a little bit of fuel as well,” Walther said, adding two passes with a disc burns about 5.1 litres of fuel per acre whereas one pass with strip till uses only two litres per acre. Those using vertical tillage will consume a little bit more fuel than discing, but will spend less time behind the wheel. “Vertical till is very fast... you are just flying over the field,” he said. Of course the biggest drivers for producers are still emergence, stand health and ultimately, yield. While it’s far too early to make any conclusions based on the corn residue project, Walther noted that final plant stand after emergence was basically the same across all tillage treatments at the four test sites. In 2016, MacGregor and Haywood only had a slight lag in the discing plots. “But I don’t want to say that discing has a slower emergence, by any means, because this year you have to look at the conditions behind it and they were really dry… and it dried out the discing treatment far more than the strip till,” he explained.

No difference in soybean yield was observed at the 2015 Winkler plots after corn residue treatments, but that same year MacGregor plots with high-disturbance vertical tillage yielded a little higher than strip till. However, both of these treatments were statistically equivalent to double-disc and low-disturbance vertical-tillage treatments. When it comes to soil temperature, strip till had the highest daytime temperatures and the lowest nighttime temperatures — at least until it was rolled. Walther believes that one reason for larger fluctuations in strip till is that corn residue is pushed out of the zone of tillage, while a fluffy soil berm full of air pockets is formed.

“But there is still a lot more research to be done on this,” he said, adding the program is also looking for farmers to partner with as they plan next year’s test plots. He also noted that tillage is only one small factor in the larger economic and agronomic matrix. “My key point is that tillage decisions have to be made in a broader perspective including thoughts about soil erosion, fuel consumption, time requirements and machinery costs,” he said. But he added that strip tillage continues to yield interesting information and possibilities.

CROP REPORT

Warmer and drier weather kicks many crops into overdrive Manitoba Crop Report issued August 2, 2016 Southwest Region A week of warm, dry conditions was followed by a weekend of weather that brought heavy rains, hail and wind. Precipitation amounts varied, with reports of 10 to 60 mm of rain or more. The Russell, Shoal Lake and Oakburn areas show crop lodging. Winter wheat and fall rye harvest has begun with initial reports of winter wheat in the 60to 70-bu./acre range and fall rye from 40 to 50 bu./acre. Quality is reported as good with low levels of fusarium-damaged kernels. Spring cereals are maturing and some early-seeded crop is a couple of weeks from pre-harvest application. The majority of the canola crop is done flowering and in pod-fill stage. Sclerotinia is evident in several fields but it remains too early to estimate amount of damage. Peas are starting to turn colour mostly due to maturity, however, excess moisture conditions have been favourable for disease infection. Flax is done flowering. Sunflowers are flowering and are benefiting from warm weather. Corn is tasselling and is also benefiting from heat and moisture. Most soybeans are done flowering and are in the pod-fill stage. It was a good week for livestock producers to put up feed. Yields reported throughout the region are above average.

Northwest Region There was thunderstorm activity throughout over the weekend. However, actual rainfall amounts were variable, from 15 mm north of Roblin to 23 mm in parts of The Pas to minimal amounts in the Swan Valley. Some crop lodging due to rain and/or wind is evident throughout the entire region. There was some light hail north of Roblin and severe weather in the Dauphin area. Soil moisture conditions are variable, ranging from adequate

in most areas to excessive in some parts of the Swan Valley, The Pas and south of Ste. Rose. Crops in these areas, especially canola, are showing the effects of excessive moisture. In general, most field crops throughout the region continue to advance nicely and are in relatively good to excellent condition. Fall rye and winter wheat crops are starting to mature and some winter cereal harvesting began in the Dauphin area. The perennial ryegrass harvest is also underway. Most spring wheat is in the dough stage with some colour change. Some areas have potential for high-protein wheat. Canola continues to develop rapidly with roughly 10 per cent of the canola flowering and 90 per cent podded. Field peas are also advancing quickly with reports indicating that approximately 95 per cent are podded with some excellent yield potential in the Roblin area. Most soybeans are in the R7 to R8 stage. Low levels of aster yellows are reported in canola in the Swan Valley. Some oat blast has been reported in the Roblin area. Reports of disease and insect activity are minimal but producers continue to monitor crops closely. Favourable weather conditions last week finally allowed for good progress with haying operations. Some first cut was still being put up and second-cut harvest has begun as well.

Central Region Average temperatures prevailed much of the week, increasing over the weekend. Much of the region saw eight days and more without rainfall, the longest stretch since late May. A major storm system blew through the region on Monday, with high winds. Western areas

of the region received little or no rain. Higher amounts were reported in Carman at 15 to 25 mm, Altona and Rosenort 30 mm, Sewell 40 mm, Letellier, Morris and Osborne 50 mm, and south of Winkler/southwest of Morris received 75 mm and higher. Hail was reported near Headingley. High humidity limited drying conditions, increasing potential for disease infections in crops and interfering with haying operations. Standing water is still a concern. Yellowing and crop thinning due to excess moisture are evident. Field access is still an issue for many. Cereals continue to advance and early-seeded crops are close to maturity. Pre-harvest applications will begin soon. Lodging is reported in some of the earliestseeded fields. Dieback from root rots is evident due to saturated soil. Premature ripening is also noticeable. The later-seeded canola is growing rapidly and flowering is almost complete. Earlyseeded canola is fully podded with slight seed colour change in lower pods. Swathing may start as early as next week. Lodging is evident, due to high winds and soft field conditions. Sclerotinia infections are becoming more evident, especially in fields that didn’t receive a fungicide application. Corn is growing rapidly. Cornfields that have had good growth and received reasonable amounts of rain are measuring over 1.83 metres high. Tassels and silk are emerged, and pollination is occurring. Soybeans continue to flower and pod. Many fields range from R3 to R4. Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is still noticeable in a number of fields. Bacterial blight is evident in many fields. Sunflowers are flowering, and are being monitored for head insects.

Many pea fields are close to harvest and pre-harvest applications will begin this week when field conditions allow. Boll formation is complete in most flax fields, and colour change is evident. Some perennial ryegrass has been cut. Fall rye and winter wheat harvest continues. Pre-harvest applications and swathing continues. Fields are in good to excellent condition, although water damage is evident in many. Some symptoms of fusarium head blight are noticeable. Winter wheat yields are 70 to 95 bu./acre to date. Early yield reports for fall rye range from 75 to 90 bu./acre with some ergot present.

mid-flowering stages. Corn is tasselling and silking. There are reports of soybean aphids and cereal army worms but insect numbers are most often below economic thresholds. A very limited amount of spraying for cereal army worms in wheat occurred last week because of head clipping. The majority of hay land and pasture land is rated in good condition. With this past week’s weather, there was a lot of hay cut and baled and some producers made 25 per cent of their feed. With the rain on the weekend, haying is at a standstill for a couple of days until fields dry up.

Eastern Region

Interlake Region

For most of last week, the weather was sunny and warm, which allowed fields to dry. Standing water was minimal for the most part and symptoms of moisture stress on plants were becoming less evident. Development in warm-season crops accelerated. On Sunday, severe thunderstorms with strong winds and heavy downpours occurred. Rainfall amounts varied from five mm to over 60 mm with many districts receiving between 25 and 45 mm. Some instances of lodging in crops because of these storms were noted. Standing water in fields is widely evident again. Winter cereals are mostly mature with the remaining crop in the late-hard-dough growth stage. Pre-harvest applications were completed last week. Harvesting began with yields in the 50- to over 80-bu./acre range. Spring cereals are in the soft-dough to hard-dough stage and some pre-harvest applications on early-seeded crop may begin later this week. Canola and field peas are pod filling. The soybean crop is at the R4 growth stage. Sunflowers are in early to

Warm temperatures and humid conditions were felt last week, leading to thundershowers on Monday and 20 to 40 mm of rainfall. Spraying has slowed as the majority of fungicides has been applied. Winter wheat harvest has started. Spring cereals vary from soft- to hard-dough stages. Some late-seeded cereals are starting to head but will be cut for greenfeed. Pre-harvest applications should commence toward the end of the week. Canola fields are mostly podded with a few still blooming. Soybeans are in the R3 stage, corn is in the tasselling and silking stage, and sunflowers are in the flowering stage. Pea fields are starting to turn colour. Forage grass seed fields continue to be harvested and swathed. Alfalfa seed fields continue to flower and set pods as the leafcutter bees enjoy the hot weather. Fields are being monitored for insect pressure to ensure levels remain below threshold levels. Second cut on hayfields is ongoing. Some producers would like a rain to get some dry pastures to produce again.

New soybean offerings coming in 2017 New soybean varieties are in full bloom at Syngenta’s Elm River research farm BY JENNIFER PAIGE

“If you were low on heat units you would want to start with M2. It has really opened a lot of doors for growers to put soybeans on their farm and differentiate their rotation.”

s soybean acres rise across Western Canada, new soybean varieties are keeping

pace. “We have been really ramping up our soybean portfolio over the last number of years and we have been able to put some pretty exciting products in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan, especially as the acreage has been increasing,” said Wayne Bennett, product market manager with Syngenta. A leader in the soybean market, Syngenta will be coming into 2017 with two proven varieties and three new additions to its lineup. “This past year we had four varieties and we will be dropping two and implementing three new varieties for 2017,” Bennett said. “From a portfolio perspective, this is probably one of the broadest portfolios in the industry, if we include Eastern Canada.” Syngenta will be returning with S007-Y4, which has been on the market for three years and boasts strong emergence and dependable sclerotinia white mould resistance. “The S007-Y4 variety is popular with growers in Manitoba but the M2 is certainly gaining popularity, especially as soybeans advance farther west as this soybean really fits those conditions,” Bennett said. S0009-M2, which was launched this year, maintains medium plant height across variable environments and has tested well against iron deficiency chlorosis. “If you were low on heat units you would want to start with M2. It has really opened a lot of doors for growers to put soybeans on their farm and differentiate their rotation,” Bennett said. “We continue to expand more and more in terms of numbers, so I would imagine growers are very happy with how it is performing.”

ciency chlorosis, especially in the Red River Valley, as it is a big abiotic stress on the soybean,” Delheimer said. The final addition to Syngenta’s 2017 soybean lineup is S006-W5, a variety with solid standability that is well suited for highly productive soils. “Overall we start with over 100 varieties and start to narrow them

down based on performance and yield or maturity and then look at what the portfolio and customers need,” Delheimer said. The new varieties have been established in demonstration plots at the company’s 160-acre research farm located in Elm River near Portage la Prairie. “We have seven locations, six internally and one externally,

where we look at all new lines coming down,” Bennett said. “We have variety field evaluation trials taking place here and in Saskatchewan to demonstrate the new varieties.” Bennett adds that he is pleased with the portfolio Syngenta has achieved. “If you look at some of the adaptation trials, some of our

varieties are leading some of those independent research trials. So, I would say we are pretty confident with where we are. Especially coming into the 2017 portfolio, we have filled a few gaps and there are some exciting new products coming forward,” Bennett said. jennifer.paige@fbcpublishing.com

New additions In 2017, Syngenta will be offering three new soybean varieties. All of which have outdone their departing counterparts. “Growers are always looking for something that will give them more or better protection or higher yield outcomes. Generally, we won’t exchange something out of our portfolio unless it exceeds the current standard. So, it is always about moving the peg forward or fitting a niche,” Bennett said. New additions will include S001-B1, a medium-tall plant with dependable standability with the Rps1c gene for phytophthora root rot protection. “Our variety development probably takes three to four years for yield testing,” said Jake Delheimer, soybean breeder with Syngenta. “Phytophthora root rot resistance is a big trait that we look at and one that is a pretty easy trait to breed for. We use a lot of molecular markers and DNA technologies to ensure the new varieties will have resistance to that particular pathogen.” The new S003-L3 will also hold strong phytophthora field tolerance but specifically for cool soils. It is also designed to be broadly adapted across all yield environments and brings strong iron deficiency chlorosis tolerance. “We really look at iron defi-

North American farmers top up rye plantings as whiskey sales soar Canadian acres are their largest in seven years as consumers’ taste for whiskey grows By Rod Nickel

Many believe that China is trying to restrict imports until its own stockpile of oilseeds is reduced

Winnipeg / Reuters

orth American farmers are turning back to a neglected crop, sowing fields with the largest rye crop in years partly as consumers satisfy a growing thirst for whiskey. Rye, planted in autumn and harvested in midsummer, fell out of favour during the past decade as other crops produced bigger profits. But whiskey demand as well as new varieties of rye that offer greater yields have renewed interest. U.S. farmers planted 1.76 million acres (712,250 hectares) for the 2016-17 season, the biggest area since 1989 and a 12 per cent year-over-year increase, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture. In Canada, a major rye exporter along with the European Union and Russia, farmers sowed 405,900 acres, the biggest rye area in seven years, Statistics Canada reported. “In our area, no one would have even considered rye,” said Manitoba farmer David Hamblin, citing its unprofitability compared to other crops. “I think it’ll be a fixture for years to come.” Rye is also used in animal feed and as a “cover crop” to prevent soil erosion. Demand from bread millers and distillers has been a main driver of the crop’s resurgence, said coarse grains analyst John Pauch at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, who expects Canadian exports to nearly double in 2016-17. U.S. whiskey sales rose nine per cent on the year to June 18, to $4.1 billion, topping the six per cent demand growth for total spirits, according to Nielsen data provided by Beam Suntory Inc., distiller of Jim Beam whiskeys. Rye whiskey’s 33 per cent growth outpaced both categories, albeit at a more modest $94 million. Consumer demand for whiskey has left distillers such as Brown-Forman Corp.’s Jack

Daniel’s hustling to keep up, given whiskey maturation can take four to seven years. “Years ago, we probably underestimated the market,” said Jeff Arnett, master distiller at Jack Daniel’s. Distiller Jim Beam has added several new rye whiskey brands recently, including a 100 per cent Canadian Club rye whiskey. The pickup in supplies has already diminished prices and may limit farmers’ enthusiasm for planting rye this autumn, said Blake Gamroth, a Canadian rye merchant at Scoular. The average U.S. farm price of rye has declined two years in a row, although the $6.52 per bushel farmers earned in 2015-16 was still 26 per cent higher than five years earlier, according to USDA.

Proposed Chinese canola dockage rules worry Canadian industry

4/2/14 12:03 PM

t’s a n e r v o u s t i m e f o r Canada’s canola industry as it lobbies the Chinese government over a plan to impose new dockage rules on imports of Canadian canola on Sept. 1. That’s when China’s quarantine agency, AQSIQ, says the dockage allowances for Canadian canola will be pegged at one per cent, down from the old mark of 2-1/2 per cent. China has said worries over disease are the reason for the new rules. However, the president of the Canola Council of Canada says she doesn’t buy that. “There’s absolutely no reason from a disease perspective to reduce dockage, that really should be a commercial negotiation,” said council president Patti Miller. “Blackleg won’t be transmitted through dockage.” Many in Canada believe the decision is prompted by China’s desire to limit the flow of oilseeds imports while it gets rid of existing rapeseed stockpiles. Whatever the case, it has definitely caught the attention of the market, according to a trader in Winnipeg. “It’s certainly a big negative and might be adding to some of the selling in here too because people are saying, ‘it’s still not done, it’s still not done,’ which is giving speculators some confidence that this thing (canola market) is still going down,” noted Keith Ferley of RBC Dominion Securities. Another analyst, Mike Jubinville of ProFarmer Canada in Winnipeg, suspects China may decide to delay the deadline, essentially kicking the can down the road. “I suspect there will be hype about it in the next six weeks and then all of a sudden it will go away,” he said. Jubinville adds China needs the canola just as badly as Canada needs it to be a buyer, which is why he’s confident something will get done. “Every year they need just as much, usually more, than the year before,” he said, adding canola was relatively cheap compared to other vegetable oils and soyoil. Canola was trading below $450 per tonne the morning of July 26. The last time it was that low was in March. Statistics Canada estimated this year’s canola acreage at 20.02 million tonnes, which is roughly the same as last year’s acreage. While excess water was causing a few problems for canola plants on the Canadian Prairies there were still expectations of a very large harvest. Both of Canada’s major railways, Canadian Pacific Limited

and Canadian National Railway Company have been warned by agricultural leaders to make sure they have enough cars available for what should be an extremely large crop. The advice comes just two years after a bitterly cold winter snarled rail traffic and significantly delayed canola exports. Miller says Canada exports $2 billion worth of canola seed to China every year with the U.S. and Mexico also taking large shipments. Canada exported four million tonnes of canola to China in 2014-15, accounting for nearly half of the 8.9 million tonnes of total exports, according to Canadian Grain Commission data. China accounted for 3.2 million tonnes of the 8.5 million tonnes of canola exported during the 10 months to date of the current crop year. Miller stresses she’s hopeful a solution will be found but wants people to know how big a deal it will be if the new dockage requirements go into place. “If we don’t find a solution by September 1 there’s going to be significant consequences,” she said. Ferley says China is also able to take the canola during key marketing windows. “The other thing about China is we’ve always had this window of opportunity (with them) when we’re going to move product at a certain time frame,” he said. Miller says the issue touches everyone in the supply chain too, from the producer through to the grain-handling business. Another question is whether all of the companies have the ability to get down to one per cent. “Each company will make its own decision of course, but the industry at large, does not believe one per cent can be achieved,” she said. A farmer near Winnipeg says he’s been told much of the socalled dockage that is refused is in fact, just cracked canola. Miller says she has heard that same comment but knows whatever the case, China will be the ones deciding what can be allowed. “Neither China or Canada want canola trade to stop. Ever yone is committed to working through this,” she said. For his part, Jubinville says an agreement could come at the 11th hour but he doesn’t know for certain. “I could be wrong and the Chinese dig in their heels on this issue and it stops the flow and that would be very bad. But I suspect they really need it and will start buying,” he said. The Chinese Embassy in Ottawa said in July experts from its Agricultural Department were talking with their Canadian counterparts about the issue and how to solve it.

No spoofing — you’re off to jail Chicago / Reuters / A U.S. judge sentenced futures trader Michael Coscia to three years in prison on July 13, a lighter punishment than prosecutors had sought for the first person criminally convicted of the manipulative trading practice of spoofing. Coscia also was sentenced to two years of supervised release from jail, in a case that was closely watched by traders who want to avoid similar charges and market regulators. Spoofing involves placing bids to buy or offers to sell futures contracts with the intent to cancel them before execution. By creating an illusion of demand, spoofers can influence prices to benefit their market positions. Prosecutors and regulators hope Coscia’s prison term will discourage other traders from trying to spoof markets. His prosecution was the first under an anti-spoofing provision of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform. Coscia was accused of using computer algorithms to quickly place large orders that he never intended to execute into markets run by CME Group and Intercontinental Exchange. The markets involved are alleged to have included soybean meal and soybean oil as well as copper, gold and currencies.

Mosaic idles potash mine REUTERS / Fertilizer producer Mosaic Co. has idled production at its Colonsay, Sask. potash mine for the rest of 2016, and temporarily laid off 330 workers, the company said in a statement July 13. Potash prices are hovering around the lowest levels seen in a decade, amid excessive output capacity and delays in setting annual supply contracts with Chinese buyers, weakening miners’ profits. “Lower global potash demand and market prices require that we curtail production,” said CEO Joc O’Rourke. The mine at Colonsay, about 50 km east of Saskatoon, has annual production capacity of 2.6 million tonnes. Mosaic said its other lower-cost Saskatchewan mines, at Esterhazy and Belle Plaine, would continue production. Mosaic had previously trimmed its Colonsay workforce by 46 people and reduced output at the mine last year.

AIC discusses disseminating agricultural research Communicating about research is often neglected in policy plans Staff

he Agricultural Institute of Canada (AIC) says the next suite of Growing Fo r w a rd p ro g ra m s s h o u l d include funds dedicated to communicating about research to the general public. Its 2016 Conference Report (the Report), summarizes the need for the agricultural sector to better disseminate research results to producers, farmers, industry, academia, consumers and among the research community. “Last year, we broke new ground by releasing Canada’s first-ever agricultural research policy, a long-standing objective for the sector and for AIC,” said AIC CEO Serge Buy. “This year, we are continuing our

work by raising awareness of the need to better communicate and disseminate agricultural research. We need to collectively ensure that gamechanging results have the impact that they deserve in Canada and internationally.” A key finding is that research dissemination has often been neglected in past policy development or is left until the end of the project cycle. This needs to change in order to increase stakeholder engagement and allow for greater impact of results, the AIC release says. It suggests including funds for knowledge transfer and extension activities in the n e x t Fe d e ra l - Prov i n c i a l Territorial Policy Framework, noting “enhanced collaboration across the sector can enable the environment

needed to implement new participatory research methods and enable effective knowledge transfer.” Another is that the sector needs to find new ways to encourage and support knowledge transfer activities. The report also discusses the role that intellectual property (IP) has to play in the dissemination of research outcomes. Although the commercialization of research results can certainly lead to a positive rate of return on investment, IP management is often debated or misunderstood and not recognized as a potential dissemination route for Canadian innovations. “Intellectual property rights (IPR) affect nearly every part of the research process from initial development to the

sharing of results with other researchers. It is also an area of great debate and misunderstanding not only in agricultural research but also in other areas of scientific research,” the report says. It promotes making that protection stronger. “Stronger IP agreements and partnerships can also help Canadian agricultural research achieve a competitive advantage at the international level.” A subsequent, in-depth Best Practices Report for Research Dissemination that highlights a number of best practices from across the sector will be released by AIC in late summer 2016.

Did you hear about the bull that fell off the mountain? His name was canola A surge in lightning strikes in Bangladesh has caused a record number of deaths. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK

Bangladesh declares lightning strikes a disaster as deaths surge Warmer temperatures lead to more evaporation and rainfall and more potential violent storms, scientists say By Syful Islam DHAKA/Thomson Reuters Foundation

angladesh has seen a nearrecord number of deaths this year from a phenomenon that appears to be worsening with climate change: lightning strikes. So far this year, 261 people have died from lightning in the country, putting the South Asian nation on track to beat last year’s 265 deaths. Most lightning deaths usually occur during the warm months of March to July. India has seen a similar surge in lightning deaths, with 93 people killed just in the past two days, officials said. The problem has prompted Bangladesh’s government to add lightning strikes to the country’s list of official types of disasters, which include floods, cyclones and storm surges, earthquakes, drought and riverbank erosion, among others. As a result, the government now compensates lightning strike victims or their families with sums between 7,500 and 25,000 taka (C$122 to $398). Through midMay the government had paid 1.5 million taka ($23,636) in claims this year to families of 81 people who died because of lightning.

Scientists say warmer conditions associated with climate change are causing more water evaporation from the land and ocean, increasing clouds and rainfall and the potential for lightning storms. “The months of April, May and June are the hottest in Bangladesh and the moist air quickly rises upward to meet with dry northwesterly winds to cool and form large storm clouds,” Dipen Bhattacharya, a physics and astronomy professor at Moreno Valley College in California, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. “S o m e s p e c i a l i s t s t h i n k that as the world warms up, we should expect more explosive lightning events — rather t h a n a g ra d u a l i n c re a s e,” he said. During the three-day period of May 12 to May 14, 67 people died from lightning strikes in Bangladesh. Altogether, 132 people died in May after being hit by lightning, according to the Foundation for Disaster Forum, a Dhaka-based disaster preparedness network. A l t o g e t h e r, 1 , 4 7 6 p e o ple have died from lightning in Bangladesh since 2010, Bangladesh Meteorological Department data shows.

Knowledge of technical trading signals helped some producers avoid the recent downturn in the canola market David Drozd Market Outlook

ome market par tici pants may have been surprised by the sudden downturn in the canola market, but others were prepared for it. Were you? Te c h n i c a l a n a l y s i s i s akin to reading a road map. The patterns which form on the charts represent the road signs. Over the years, a number of rather classic formations have been identified which will either point the way, signal caution, or even tell you to turn around and go back the other way. Experience and a study of historical charts are important for understanding the signs. From my experience, I have found that tracking the canola market is often similar to a journey up and down a mountain. This particular journey up the mountain began on March 2, 2016 when canola turned a corner at the seasonal low of $448 and began to hike out of the valley. Canola looked forward to this climb every spring and by early June 2016 canola had made it up to an area of resistance at the $528 level. At this height, canola wondered if his three-month journey and $80-per-tonne climb up the mountain had come to an end. Canola figured he could still go further and all that was needed was a little more momentum. Therefore, canola backed up to an area of support at $500 to take

another run at it. However, canola had grown tired and did not have the energy to go higher, so he once again pulled back to the $500 area to look around and decide what to do next. Although near exhaustion, canola doggedly decided to give it one more try. On this attempt canola mustered just enough energy to get to the $530 level, which was slightly higher than his previous attempts. However, this was not good enough, so canola began pulling back to reassess the situation. At first, canola seemed to be reversing down the mountain in an orderly fashion, just as he had done before. Unfortunately, the numerous failed attempts to go higher caused him to be weak in the knees. Without warning, canola missed a step and went tumbling down the mountain. Now out of control and rolling down at an alarming rate, canola fell off the cliff at the $500 level and plummeted to the valley floor below. Fortunately canola was a very tough and resilient bull, so although he suffered minor injuries, canola slowly got up, brushed off the debris and began the slow journey back up the mountain, still determined to get to the top.

Then a two-week reversal materialized at the height of a major move up in both price and time. This was a very important formation to pick up on, as it is a reversal pattern which indicated the canola market was about to turn down (U-Turn). Prices breached support at $500, which was an uptrend line drawn across the reaction lows. Trendlines are a valuable tool for determining the trend (road). Sell stops were triggered when the market fell below $500, which drove futures lower. The selling came from shorts wishing to add to positions acquired near the top of the trading range as well as from longs who bought in the upper portion of the range, now seeking to cut their losses. Long liquidation was at the fore, as losses mounted for the bulls. In this environment nothing else matters and the market will not stop going down until the selling has been satisfied. Canola producers who recognized these important signs were able to sell canola before the market turned down. Send your questions or comments about this article and chart to info@agchieve. ca.

The rally in canola ran into resistance at $528 (Stop Sign). Support and resistance areas are extremely important, as they illustrate where future rallies and declines are likely to fail. This is a classic example of prices rallying into a resistance area, only to turn around and proceed lower.

Three Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame inductees named

Agricultural Hall of Fame Four Manitobans were inducted into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Portage la Prairie July 14. We’re featuring each one with their citations in successive issues

Horticulture, beef and farm events earn new members positions STAFF

h e C a n a d i a n Agricultural Hall of Fame (CAHF) will soon have three new names in its membership rolls. O n Nov e m b e r 6 , a t t h e Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, they’ll be inducting the late James Bartlett, R o b e r t Sw i t z e r a n d Jo h n Willmott, all noted industry leaders who pushed the s e c t o r f o r w a rd, says Herb McLane, CAHF president. “This year’s three inductees all channelled their passion, whether for horticulture, beef cattle or industry organizations, into advances and opportunities to make agriculture matter even more,” McLane said. “They dreamed big, advocated tirelessly and have left indelible marks on t h e Ca n a d i a n a g r i c u l t u ra l landscape.” James Bar tlett, who was f r o m B e a m s v i l l e, O n t . , i s being honoured for his work in the Canadian horticultural industry. Born into the family business, N.M. Bartlett Inc., he led the company to b e c o m e t h e only national horticulture crop protection distributor. He also advocated for policies affecting importation of U.S. crop protection products and championed the minor use registration of crop protection products to keep the Canadian hor ticulture industry competitive. He also helped create, and later chair, the precursor organization to CropLife Canada. Ro b e r t ( B o b ) Sw i t z e r, a c h a m p i o n A n g u s b re e d e r, helped create several strong brands for the industry that is keeping Angus the No. 1 breed in Canada. From his Sandy Bar Ranch in southern Saskatchewan, Bob was i n s t r u m e n t a l i n i n t ro d u c ing the Certified Angus Beef b ra n d t o t h e e n t i re va l u e chain, from the cattle industry, Canadian hotel and restaurant trade, and ultimately consumers. His vision for a sustainable cattle business led to the creation of Red Coat Cattle Feeders — a community-based feedlot project. John Willmott has served Canadian agriculture for decades to bring about changes and advances for countless organizations, including the Canadian Western Agribition and the Farm Progress Show, serving as president of both, as well as the Canadian Angus Association. He also helped create the first regulations for artificial insemination and a standard Record of Performance (ROP) program for the Canadian beef industry.

Gordon McPhee, Dauphin 1935-

or most of his career, Gordon McPhee has played a major role in preserving one of our most precious resources, the soil and working with the agricultural industry towards sustainable development. Together with his wife Mary, Gordon has always been able to look at what was happening on farms and then be quick to acknowledge that there had to be a better way. He saw that farms were getting so big that he realized he needed to get his work done with less effort. Renowned for his determination, he also realized the significant responsibility he had in ensuring soil conservation. As one of the pioneers of zero tillage in Manitoba, Gordon was a believer in the economic benefits of working with nature instead of against it. Gordon was involved in the formation

of the Manitoba-North Dakota Zero-Tillage Association (ManDak). Man-Dak has recognized Gordon for his work with the organization both for the association’s formation and for contributions he made to two of their Zero-Tillage Manuals. He has played an integral role in establishing that association’s Zero-Tillage Research Farm near Brandon. Gordon has been instrumental in several environmental and sustainability committees and has served as co-chairman of the Crop Protection Advisory Committee of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. As one of the founding executive members of the Keystone Agricultural Producers in 1984, Gordon has extended his involvement in agriculture to the Dauphin Agricultural Heritage Club.

Gordon views good farm management as always balancing the benefits of particular procedures and methods against their risks. While he recognizes that for some farmers zero tillage is an uncomfortable risky change he notes that to do nothing is maybe even more risky. For his belief that to be sustainable, agriculture must meet the community’s needs for a variety of competitively priced goods and services while producing an adequate economic return all while protecting the ecosystem, he received the L.B. Thomson Conservation Award in 1997 for outstanding work promoting soil conservation and pioneering zero tillage. Gordon is known as a true innovator, an inventor, a thinker and a question-asker. But most of all never content with the status quo.

Lifescience and chemical companies eye greener fields as farm profits shrink Ag-tech startups are gaining support from industry blue chips aiming to offset shrinking profits from farm bust BY TOM POLANSEK AND P.J. HUFFSTUTTER CHICAGO / Reuters

uPont and Bayer have teamed up to invest in a new fund that will back agricultural technology startups, becoming the latest companies to pile into the multibillion-dollar industry as farm profits shrink. The two chemical and seed companies along with venture capital firm Finistere Ventures and two others have launched a C$19.25 million (all figures Canadian dollars) accelerator fund, called Radicle, that will back early-stage agriculturaltech companies, the fund said in a statement on Wednesday. Of the $19.25 million, $7.7 million has been initially committed but the fund did not identify which companies would receive the cash. While small in size, it marks the second time DuPont’s investment arm has taken a stake in the ag-tech arena since launching in 2003, according to fund officials. DuPont and Bayer did not respond to calls for comment. The companies are joining a burgeoning industry of ag-tech investors hoping to profit from ever-more sophisticated tools in the food supply chain, from

plant genomics and seed traits, to drones and weather sensors for crops. For seed and chemical companies, such ventures can bring access to new research that may complement — or fill gaps — in their product pipelines. For venture capital firms — some of which have bought up land in recent years — it is also a way to try to ease the economic sting of falling farmland values.

Plunging prices Returns on commodity farm products have declined as grain prices have dropped for

the past three years due to global oversupplies. Corn futures are down about 40 per cent from three years ago due to large global harvests. For startups, reaching out to funds can help them gain access to cash for research and new product testing without having to sell the whole company. “There’s nothing like commodity prices halving to focus your mind on how else you can make money,” said Finistere partner Arama Kukutai in a recent interview. Finistere has invested in companies including CropX,

which is working on irrigation, and ZeaKal, which is trying to boost soybean yields. In Apr il, the fir m par tnered with farmland owner In t e r n a t i o n a l Fa r m i n g Corporation (IFC) to launch a different ag-tech fund. In that case, tech companies can test their products out of the lab and in the real world, said Kukutai. The other members in t h e Ra d i c l e f u n d i n c l u d e OurCrowd, an Israeli venture capital firm, and Californiabased pr ivate equity fir m Cloud Break Advisors. Wednesday’s launch comes after Bayer, Syngenta AG and other investors last month rolled out an $11.5-million fund called AgTech Accelerator to start new agricultural technology businesses and help keep them running. On Monday, Kellogg Co. launched a corporate venture group called Eighteen94 Capital (1894), and announced plans to invest $128 million in food and food-related tech startups. Kellogg follows similar moves by rival consumer packaged goods companies General Mills Inc. and the Campbell Soup Co.

Getting crowded While the sector holds promise, blockbuster products are few and far between, and

the ag-tech space is increasingly crowded, say critics and analysts. Finding customers can be tough, too. Farmers and some agribusiness customers have been reluctant to pay for data services, particularly with farm income down by half since its 2013 high. But that has not cooled investor interest. So far this year, the pace of investments in agriculture technology startups is about on par with a record $5.9 billion in 2015, said Rob Leclerc, chief executive officer of AgFunder, an online food and agriculture investment platform. That is double the amount seeded by venture capitalists and others in 2014. “A lot of people are gravitating to technology because they see this as a better way to institutionalize an investment in food and agriculture,” Leclerc said. Concerns about how to feed a growing global population and uncertainty over food supplies amid shifting weather patterns have spurred investor appetite. Corporate asset managers and large farmers are increasingly finding that “to really make land an attractive return basis, you have to leverage technology,” Kukutai said.

Temporary foreign worker program gets reprieve WHAT’S UP Employers who have been in the program the longest are being exempted from further reductions in the proportion of their workforce that aren’t citizens By Alex Binkley Co-operator contributor

eat, fruit and vegetable processors are welcoming a recent announcement that reductions in the temporary foreign workers programs have been frozen for now. Employment Minister MaryAnn Mihychuk recently said employers registered in the Temporary Foreign Worker Programs (TFWP) prior to June 2014 will be able to continue to use up to 20 per cent non-citizens in their workforce — if they can’t find Canadians to fill the jobs. Employers who hired foreign workers after June 2014 will still have to reduce their foreign workforce to 10 per cent, under rules brought in by the former Harper government. “While very far from offering a solution to the widespread and chronic labour shortage that exists in the meat industry,

most particularly in rural meatpacking establishments, the minister’s announcement will be of some assistance to those establishments in which foreignorigin workers today constitute between 10 and 20 per cent of the total number of workers,” said Ron Davidson, a spokesperson for the Canadian Meat Council. As a result, the companies won’t have to further cut purchases from farmers or reduce exports because of additional worker shortfall, he added. “The meat industry welcomes every reconsideration of the severe constraints that were imposed on access to labour in 2014,” he said. “All of these consequences would have resulted from the previously scheduled government-imposed requirement to slash the workforce in these establishments by an additional 10 per cent.” Meanwhile Trevor Eggleton, spokesperson for the Canadian Horticulture Council, said the

association’s labour committee believes fruit and vegetable processors need special consideration when it comes to foreign workers. “In some cases, it has not been possible to source an adequate number of reliable Canadian workers to perform seasonal work,” he said. “These same jobs make it possible for Canadians to work in longer full-time, permanent positions involving storing, packing or processing of produce and value-added products.” Mihychuk called her action a prudent step while the government works on a plan it will announce later this year to address the problems with the program. “We want to ensure that the rights of those working through the program are protected, that it is not undermining job opportunities for Canadians and that there is a pathway to permanent residency for eligible applicants,” she said.

“Ev e r y e m p l oy e r a p p l ying to the TFWP will still need to meet all program requirements, including making efforts to ensure that Canadians and permanent residents have first access to available jobs.” Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay recently told the Senate that he was working “as hard as I can with the minister responsible to make sure that we have the temporary foreign workers we need. It would be unfortunate if we had the product and the facilities but do not have the workers and the workers are available. That’s hard to swallow.” He went on to say he is confident the government will address the issues and added that despite the problems, the program meets a real need for the industry. He said he was well aware of problems in Western Canada “where in fact there are not enough temporary foreign workers in order to process meat in some meat plants.”

A long and interesting history for Hutterites in Manitoba Few realize the challenges faced by early Anabaptist groups like Hutterites and Mennonites which brought them to North America

The late Selma Maendel was recently the first Hutterite inducted into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame for her many long-standing contributions to agriculture in the province. Among other things she was a popular columnist for this publication, developed the Field History Manager software to computerize field record-keeping and worked with the medical industry to understand the genetic basis for many disorders found in Hutterite children and adults. Her sister Dora Maendel offered a historical perspective of the Hutterites in North America at the induction ceremony. A group of Hutterite women returns from the fields at sunset. PHOTO: Rainer Mueller/Creative Commons BY DORA MAENDEL Co-operator contributor

n behalf of our late sister Selma Maendel, I want to share some historical background, much of it taken from the Chronicle of the Hutterian Brethren: Vol. I and II Hutterites originated in the Germanspeaking countries of early 16th-century Europe — particularly Germany and Austria. It was shortly after the Reformation, which had resulted from — and was actually a manifestation of — the Renaissance, specifically in the area of religion. It was a time of tremendous economic extremes and social upheaval, for example, the Peasants’ War (152425) which historians have termed an economic revolt. It was the result of grassroots desire and thwarted efforts at improving the lives of society’s most marginalized and vulnerable. The Peasants’ Revolt — after a hundred thousand casualties — convinced some of its survivors that violence is not an effective way to improve people’s economic circumstances. Soon, the Anabaptist Movement commenced. Radical and new, it was fuelled by humanistic ideals, emphasizing believer’s baptism, brotherhood and non-violence. Believer’s baptism offended the state church and in 1526 was declared a criminal offence punishable by execution. Nevertheless, the movement spread rapidly and when persecution

intensified, the baptizers — as they were nicknamed — fled to Moravia, part of the Czech Republic today. In the process of developing a clear creed, but more particularly in response to dire human need, one of the Anabaptist groups in Moravia commenced living in what is known as “community of goods” — pooling all available resources and sharing them according to members’ needs. A remarkable survival tactic, it morphed into a faith tenet for this group — an expression of Our Lord’s command to “love one another.” Eventually it became their most salient tenet. Due to the unusual degree of religious tolerance in Moravia, the Anabaptists flourished. At one point there were some 40,000 Anabaptists in Moravia. The Hutterites experienced good years of growth and building, as well as an era which historians term “the golden years.” Craftsmen and tradesmen, the Hutterites engaged in pottery, spinning, weaving, tinsmithing and clockand wheel-making among others. They developed a reputation for honesty and there is evidence of skilled barbersurgeons, one of whom successfully treated the emperor. They developed an excellent school system and played a significant role in the art of pottery — refining and preserving the process through turbulent, dangerous times. Sadly, “Wars and rumours of wars” caused the Moravian lords to expel their Anabaptist tenants in 1622. The Hutterites sojourned for a time in

Hungary and later in Rumania. Their communal lifestyle rendered them more visible than other Anabaptists, such as the Amish and Mennonites, so that, in addition to the hardships of persecution and natural disasters, their communities were frequently raided and plundered by marauding armies. In 1770, Count Rumiantsev invited the remnant of Hutterites to settle on his estate in northern Russia. Secretly, travelling mostly at night, a group of 60 adults made the journey over the Carpathian Mountains — a dangerous trek that has been described as the Hutterites’ Red Sea. Despite the accidental plunge of one wagonload of goods, there was no loss of life and they arrived safely to settle at Raditschev. Unfortunately, by this time they were completely demoralized, unable to thrive: “Spiritually and economically bankrupt” our Chronicle states. Finally,

they asked the Russian government for help and after the situation was assessed, a Mennonite from southern Russia was given responsibility for them. Arriving in Russia decades earlier, the Mennonites were successfully “dry farming” in the Chortitza area, so Johann Cornies, whose role was similar to that of agriculture minister, taught them to farm by placing Hutterite young people on Mennonite farms. A hundred years later, the Russian government revoked the privileges granted to Mennonites and Hutterites: no more freedom from military service and no more German as the language of instruction in their schools. In 1874, the Hutterites immigrated to North America. “We are farmers,” they told President Grant and he invited them to settle in Dakota Territory. For the next 40 years, they engaged in agriculture, producing grain, sorghum, broomgrass and silage corn, as well as livestock, including milk and egg production. Harassed during the First World War for refusing to participate in the military effort, Hutterite leaders petitioned the Canadian government about immigrating to Canada and were welcomed to the Prairies, settling in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Today there are 105 Hutterite colonies in rural Manitoba, situated as far north as Fisher Branch and Riding Mountain and as far south as Altona and Lauder — just minutes from the Canada-U.S. border.

Prairie fare How to stay cool and hydrated in the heat Extreme heat can have dire health consequences for every organ of your body BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON Food and nutrition specialist NDSU Extension Service

figure my distant ancestors spent most of their time in cold climates with little exposure to the sun. They probably slogged through snowdrifts to reach their recreational icebergs, where they could dip their toes in freezing water. When the sun came out, they probably retreated to cold, dark caves. Therefore, I think I have the genetics to tolerate cold better than heat. I know how to layer clothes to tolerate the cold. You can remove only so many articles of clothing in public. Lately, the hot weather has made me want to retreat to a cold cave or dip my toes in ice water. I spent a week in Washington, D.C., in midJuly, when the temperature climbed above 100° and the humidity was equal to a sauna. I was guzzling water constantly, and I still couldn’t stay fully hydrated. “I can’t handle heat!” I exclaimed to my patient trip companions as we walked on the white-hot marble and concrete around the national monuments. My face was red as a tomato and my hair was wet from perspiration. I was not photo ready. Irritability is the first sign of dehydration. They probably realized it, too, by my example. We stayed inside highly air-conditioned buildings most of the time. At least they didn’t have to carry me inside or call an ambulance. When I returned home, a heat wave hit the Midwest. Where’s my cold cave? Extreme heat can have dire health consequences on every organ of your body. Water makes up about three-fourths of the body weight of infants, making them very susceptible to dehydration. On average, an adult’s weight is about two-thirds water.

Even mild dehydration has immediate effects. Besides feeling thirst, you might get a headache and swollen feet, and feel sluggish. Staying well hydrated is especially important for heart health. When you become dehydrated, your heart has to work harder to push the thicker blood throughout your body. Maintaining hydration in your body helps with management of your body temperature. Water is essential to protect your tissues and keep your joints lubricated. Staying adequately “watered” at all times helps your body rid itself of wastes. Thirst is one gauge for hydration level but not necessarily the best one. As we get older, our “thirst meter” usually doesn’t work as well. Some medications and medical conditions also can affect how we perceive thirst. A better gauge for hydration level can be assessed in the privacy of your bathroom. Yes, the colour of the urine we produce is a good indicator of hydration level, unless you are taking medications that colour the urine. Pale yellow (straw coloured or weak lemonade coloured) urine indicates you are well hydrated. As your urine gets darker yellow, you should rehydrate soon. If your urine reaches the point of dark amber (orange yellow), you are probably severely dehydrated and should contact your health-care provider immediately. Staying hydrated is necessary for survival. We can survive without food longer than without water. In fact, we would survive only a few days without water. In hot weather, stay inside as much as possible, especially during the heat of the day. Heat exhaustion or heat stroke can be life threatening. If you are working outside, drink water often and wear lightweight clothing. When you get inside, take a cool bath or shower and rest. Drink plenty of fluids and eat water-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables. Many

fruits and vegetables are 85 to 95 per cent water by weight. Keep in mind that alcohol-containing beverages, such as beer, are not as hydrating as water. You probably do not need a “sports drink” to recover, either. Consume a healthful meal to replace lost electrolytes (minerals lost in perspiration). Chocolate milk often is used as a workout recovery or sports drink because it provides fluid, electrolytes and carbohydrate. Here are some additional tips about staying hydrated that are adapted from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: • Carry a water bottle for easy access when you are at work or running errands. • Freeze some water in freezer-safe water bottles. Take one with you for ice-cold water all day long. • Choose water instead of sweetened beverages. This also can help with weight management. Substituting water for one 20-ounce sugar-sweetened soda will save you about 240 calories. • Choose water when eating out. Generally, you will save money and reduce calories. • Add some flavour to your water by adding a wedge of lime or lemon to it. Or try adding some cucumber slices or strawberries. This can improve the taste and help you drink more water than you usually do. Stay cool and hydrated during the warm days of summer. Because we don’t have any icebergs handy to lounge upon, here’s a frozen treat to enjoy. Milk and juice provide nutrients as well as fluids, and this treat has just 45 calories. It might remind you of a childhood summer treat.

ndrew Jackson set his beach chair down in the sand and adjusted the back to his liking. Kicking off his sandals, he sat down and pulled the brim of his hat down to shield his eyes from the blazing sun. He turned to look at Rose, who was already ensconced on her new, well-padded lounger staring out over the hazy blue of the lake. “Well, here we are,” he said. “Back in our natural habitat at last.” “Indeed,” said Rose without turning her head. “What a cruel irony that I, who was born to lie by the sea, should be born in the middle of the world’s largest prairie.” “Cruel indeed,” said Andrew, “and I empathize with you in your suffering. Although not right now, since you are currently, as just stated, in your natural seaside habitat on a very nicely padded lounger. And you have to admit that for most creatures, natural habitats do not include padded loungers.” “Well they should,” said Rose. “Padded loungers should have evolved like trees or dandelions. They should be everywhere. There should be forests where people could go harvest their own padded loungers in an assortment of styles and colours.” “You just described Canadian Tire,” said Andrew. “Canadian Tire,” said Rose, “where you can find, and buy, your own natural habitat.” There was a brief pause during which a pair of perfectly matched white pelicans swam by, each keeping one eye out for fish and the other suspiciously trained on Andrew and Rose. “Did you see that?” said Rose. “Pelicans. They act as if they own the place. They’re so condescending. They’re always looking down on you, even when you’re higher up than they are. I don’t know how they do that but I find it rather rude.” “Oh, they can’t help it,” said Andrew. “It’s that huge beak they have. It gives them a naturally haughty look. Like Jake Rempel. He looks down his nose at everything but that’s because, given the size of his nose and the placement of his eyes, there’s no other way for him to look. But he’s actually quite humble, which anyone would be with a schnozz like that.”

“You’re probably right,” said Rose. “But still. They could try to be a little less supercilious.” She heaved a happy sigh. “This is where I belong,” she said. “On a beach in a padded lounger in the hot sun, complaining about pelicans. It’s perfect.” “I’m glad you’re happy,” said Andrew, “and I’m sure there will be many other things to complain about that are at least as annoying as pelicans.” “I don’t need anything to complain about to be happy,” said Rose. “But it helps.”

“Perhaps a group of young people will come and set up a few yards away and play their hippity-hop music at us all afternoon,” said Andrew. “Between that and the pelicans, it will be a perfect day for you, my dear.” “Don’t call it music,” said Rose. “It’s just young people banging on pails and shouting lousy poetry at each other with very bad diction so they’re impossible to understand.” “Maybe they know the poetry is lousy so they don’t WANT people to understand,” said Andrew, “because deep down they’re kind, thoughtful people.” “I’m sure they are kind, thoughtful people,” said Rose, “but their hippity-hop still does not qualify as music in my book. And my book is the only one that matters. Speaking of which, can you hand me my book from the bag there next to you?” Andrew rummaged through the bag briefly and came up with a paperback, the cover of which featured a muscular half-clad man with long flowing locks and a remarkably chiselled chin embracing a beautiful woman who appeared to be either on the verge of fainting or just waking up from a nap. “The Dawn of Desire,” said Andrew. “Sticking with the classics I see. Does it have pictures?” “Hey, I just read The Poisonwood Bible,” said Rose. “I need a break. And no, there’s no pictures. Except the one on the cover.” “They say you can’t judge a book by its cover,” said Andrew. “Well in this case, they are wrong,” said Rose. She opened the book and read the first paragraph. “Ah yes,” she said. “No eight-letter words in this one. It’s going to be a good week.” “If that’s all it takes,” said Andrew, “then every week with me is a good week.” Rose turned and looked at him over the top of her sunglasses. “Every week with you IS a good week,” she said with a smile. Andrew closed his eyes. “When should I wake you?” asked Rose. Andrew grinned. “At dawn,” he said. “Wake me at dawn.”

Using ornamental millet in the landscape Millet is one of the oldest cultivated grains but one of the newest ornamental plants By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

tatuesque plants that have an architectural quality to them are invaluable in the landscape. They can be used in beds and borders or in containers to create accents, to add vertical dimension to an arrangement, and to provide textural contrast. The ornamental millets (Pennisetum glaucum) are good examples of this kind of plant. Millet is one of the oldest cultivated grains, but it is one of the newest ornamental plants. The foliage and the seed heads of grain millets are usually both green, while the foliage and the seed heads of most ornamental millets are usually purple. Although plant breeders are continuing to develop new cultivars, the two varieties most commonly found in garden centres — or the seeds in catalogues — are “Jade Princess” and “Purple Majesty.” “Jade Princess” is shorter than its counterpart, growing only about 65 cm tall. Its leaves are green while its seed heads are dark purple. Although all millets have long narrow leaves, the foliage of “Jade Princess” is more fountain grasslike than other decorative millets, which tend to have corn-like leaves. The dark-

The foliage of “Purple Majesty” will become a more intense purple when exposed to full sun. Note some seed heads have matured to dark brown/purple while immature ones are covered with tan pollen. PHOTO: ALBERT PARSONS

purple spikes of this millet make a great addition to a container and the plant will continue to produce seed heads all summer long if the more mature ones are cut off when they start to form seed. “Purple Majesty” is a much larger plant than “Jade Princess,” growing to a mature height of 1-1/2 metres. Its large, corn-like leaves are deep burgundy and the dark seed heads can appear almost

black. In their infancy, the seed heads are covered with attractive tan-coloured pollen. This variety of ornamental millet does not produce as many seed heads so it is usually not deadheaded. The plant is often used as a vertical accent in a large container, but it also looks great at the back of a large border. While a single specimen can be used in a mixed container, when used as a grouping in a bed or as a background plant in a border, several plants grouped together will look best. Ornamental millet demands lots of nutrients and a consistent supply of moisture. If the plants appear scrawny, usually they have been deprived of nutrients or their planting medium has been allowed to dry out. Because of their demand for water, millet is best used only in large containers that will not dry out too quickly. It prefers a good loam planting medium — add some compost or sea soil to a soilless mix when planting. For best performance, plant millet in full sun. Besides being used to create backdrops or accents in the landscape, they also attract bees, butterflies and birds to the garden. When the seed heads mature, seed-eating birds will be drawn to the plants. The bottlebrush-like spikes can also be cut and dried for use in dried

designs; the dark-purple colour will become even more intense as the seed heads dry. Ornamental millet is not bothered by a lot of insect or disease problems, which makes it a relatively easy-care plant. It is easily started from seed, although some people have difficulty getting a good germination rate from the seed, so it is best to plant more seeds than the number of plants you will need. One disadvantage that ornamental millet has is that the tips of its leaves might brown — this is more apt to happen if the planting medium has been allowed to dry out. Watch for these eye-catching plants as you are out and about this summer and perhaps you will add them to your “next year” list. Albert Parsons writes from Minnedosa, Manitoba

Farm machinery of the past Steward Sheaf Loader offered ability to load sheaves faster and with less physical labour

‘Dimestore Fishermen’ comes to Shoal Lake Television program is based on 50/50 format — half community, half fishing By Darrell Nesbitt Freelance contributor

The Black family in the field with their Steward Sheaf Loader. For some reason a number of ladies has come out to the field. Perhaps the loader was new and they wanted to see it in operation? They are not likely there to deliver a meal as that many would not have been needed to take refreshments. PHOTO: COURTESY

Manitoba Agricultural Museum release

ruce Black of the Brandon area has allowed the Manitoba Agricultural Museum to copy negatives of photographs taken around 1920 on the farms operated by the Black family. This photo shows a sheaf loader. The handling of sheaves was a large enough problem that a number of pieces of equipment were developed to ease this. The Steward Sheaf Loader was one such machine and offered the ability to load sheaves on a wagon faster and with less physical labor. It was a fairly simple machine — ground driven and operated with a four-horse team. The machine had a slatted chain pickup that gathered the sheaves off the ground and carried them up to a cross elevator that was also fitted with a

slatted chain. This cross elevator carried the sheaves higher and dropped them into a wagon. The frame of the Steward Sheaf Loader was made of square steel tubing and flat iron. Galvanized steel sheet formed the floors of the elevators with wooden boards forming the sides. In the photo, it appears the upper part of the high side of the sheaf wagon was made of page wire rather than wooden boards, perhaps to reduce the weight of the body. The Steward Sheaf Loader Company Ltd. owned an office and plant in Winnipeg operating sometime between 1910 and the mid-1920s. It has been suggested that many veteran sheaf pitchers who loaded wagons by hand did so in a pattern so the pitcher would know where to stand when pitching sheaves into the thresher and not be attempting to pitch a sheaf

that he was standing on. With a wagon loaded by a Steward, the sheaves were loaded helterskelter onto the wagon so the pitcher could have more work unloading the wagon. The museum has three Steward Sheaf Loaders in the collection including one early machine which features a wooden deck on the pickup elevator. Because they were built with a frame of square steel tubing and flat iron, they would have been a very handy source of useful steel for repairs when the machine was no longer needed. So for three machines to have survived intact for donation to the museum indicates Steward Sheaf Loaders were sold in respectable numbers. The Manitoba Agricultural Museum is open year round. For location and hours of operation go to: http://ag-museum. mb.ca/.

he camaraderie shared by two Shoal Lake guests in June will go far in promoting the community, attractions and above all — well-stocked lakes in the region. “Attracting the ‘Dimestone Fishermen’ show, based out of Calgary, Alta., to feature one of its half-hour shows on Shoal Lake and area, will indeed be beneficial,” said Kelly Shurvell, leisure services co-ordinator. Show host Jim Hoey and master cinematographer Tom Barker were guided by Shurvell from a community standpoint, and local couple and fishing enthusiasts, Brent and Sandi Allen, on the open water. “Filming for approximately 3-1/2 hours, it gives us enough detail for a half-hour show that is broken down into a 50/50 format,” said Hoey. “Half is community based and the other half touches on the fishing.” The show, brought to Shoal Lake through the Council of the Rural Municipality of

Shoal Lake, and the Shoal Lake Community Development Corporation, is featured on various television stations including Video on Demand for Shaw, and Bell Express. For a full lineup of channels go to www. dimestorefishermen.com. Hoey is the creator/originator of the “Dimestore Fishermen” outdoor television program. After 200 episodes, only ever filmed in Canada, he continues to host and produce one of the longeststanding wholly owned and independent television programs in Canada’s history. He is world renowned as a cinematographer/ filmmaker, explorer, outdoorsman/fisher and journalist, and likes to spend time with charities, non-profits and different causes domestically and globally. Hoey lives in Calgary with his wife and children. “Efforts of the ‘Dimestore Fishermen’ are helping to ensure fresh water for a clean future,” says Trout Unlimited Canada, a national, not-for-profit charitable conservation organization.

This Old Elevator

n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba. Today, there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the legacy of these disappearing “Prairie sentinels.” The Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Co-operator it is supplying these images of a grain elevator each week in hopes readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other elevator they know of. MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has developed a website to post your replies to a series of questions about elevators. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that have served the farm community. Your contributions will help gather historical information such as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and agents, rail lines, year elevators were built — and dates when they were torn down (if applicable). There is room on the website to post personal recollections and stories related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one not included on that list. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the farm community’s collective knowledge of what was once a vast network of grain elevators across Manitoba. Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at: http://www.mhs.mb.ca/elevators. You will receive a response, by email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received.

A grain elevator and annex at Myrtle, on the CNR Miami Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Roland, was built in 1928 and operated by United Grain Growers. Seen here in 1966, the complex was closed and demolished in 1984 after a new, larger elevator was opened at nearby Roland.

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!
