Reviving a symbol of Canada’s agricultural past

CP Rail raring to move expected bumper crop A company executive says the grain-handling and transportation system learned lessons from the 2013-14 shipping backlog

Built in 1912, the Dominion Exhibition Building No. II is being refurbished to resume its place as a host for community events

BY JENNIFER PAIGE Co-operator staff / Brandon

O

nce a hub of agricultural activity, in recent years Brandon’s Dominion Exhibition Building No. II has been left idle and close to disrepair. Fearing loss of the valued landmark, in 2009 the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba took on the challenge of restoring the building to its former glory.

“As both an organization and a community we have a lot of history here. It would be a shame to see this building be knocked down,” said exhibition chair Stan Cochrane.

The building, which sits on the Keystone Centre grounds in Brandon, is one of few remaining buildings from Canada’s Dominion Fair era and a rare surviving example of the country’s agricultural exhibition history.

“Back in the early 1900s the federal government designated a city to host a Dominion Exhibition Fair every year and then money was given and buildings were built for every fair,” Cochrane said. “This was the last building and last fair of its kind ever held in 1913. After that the world war broke out and they cancelled them and never started the program again.”

Cochrane says the Dominion Exhibition Fairs, which were held across Canada from 1879 to 1913, were similar to events like Manitoba Ag Days.

“That is how they spread the word. If there were new things coming out in agriculture, the fair is how they promoted it. The first day of the Dominion Fair in Brandon in

1913, there were 100,000 people here. They came on trains and lived in tents. Fairs were a big deal back then.”

Unlike today with the convenience of Google and Twitter, if you wanted the latest industry news, you had best not miss the Dominion Exhibition Fair.

“Going to the fair was how you learned about new things and networked with people who were trying to do similar things that you were,” Cochrane said.

Brandon was designated to hold the

Dominion Fair in 1912, and the building was designed by Walter H. Shillinglaw and David Marshall, two prominent architects from Brandon.

“It is just amazing what they did back in those days because they never got the money allocated or got the fair approved until sometime in 1912 and they had this building all built and ready to go in 1913,” Cochrane said.

esearchers at Purdue University say a new process could extend milk’s shelf life to as long as nine weeks.

Bruce Applegate, an associate professor of food science, says he and other researchers rapidly heated and cooled mik, which significantly reduced the number of harmful bacteria.

Applegate and collaborators from Purdue and the University of Tennessee published their findings in the journal SpringerPlus.

They used milk inoculated with bacteria and quickly raised the milk’s temperature by 10 C, then just as quickly lowered it, without reaching the 70 C threshold that’s considered pasteurization. They found increasing the temperature of milk by 10° for less than a second 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,” Applegate said.

Purdue University researcher Bruce Applegate and other collaborating researchers developed a process that extends the shelf life of milk.

The treatment lowered bacterial levels below detection limits, and extended shelf life to up to 63 days. “ With the treatment, you’re taking out almost everything,” Applegate said.

“Whatever does survive is at such a low level that it takes much longer for it to multiply.”

Phillip Myer, an assistant professor of animal science at the University of Tennessee

and a co-author of the paper, said the process uses the heat already necessary for pasteurization.

“The process significantly reduces the amount of bacteria present, and it doesn’t add any extra energy to the system,” Myer said.

Myer said the promise of the technology is that it could reduce waste and allow milk to reach distant locations.

Cigi course highlights customer relations The reliability of Canadian wheat is the theme of Cigi’s annual international program

“Sometimes you cannot go to a certain part of the country because of the fight, sometimes roads are closed for battles that happen suddenly.”

BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

T

hey come from 16 different countries, but have one thing in common — Canadian wheat.

Participants in the 49th annual International Grain Industry Program at the Canadian International Grains Institute, better known as Cigi, are in Canada to learn more about where the grain they buy comes from, how it is grown and how it is shipped.

“Partly we’re saying thank you to them for being good customers, but the big piece is just reassuring them again about the quality system in Canada,” said Rick Morgan, special projects adviser at Cigi. “We want to make sure they see how government and industry work together to ensure that what the customer receives is what they are expecting to receive.”

For Haitham Al-Khshali, director general of the Grain Board of Iraq, the two-week-long program has only helped to solidify his appreciation of Canadian wheat.

While he would like to see more grain harvested in his home country, the current political situation has generated many pitfalls for agricultural producers there.

“They have a lot of obstacles, as you know they have a fight against ISIS, this fight is really a great conflict between Iraqi people and terrorists and this takes a great effort,” Al-Khshali said.

“Sometimes you cannot go to a certain part of the country because of the fight, sometimes roads are closed for battles that happen suddenly.”

The so-called Islamic State or Daesh has also been aggressively targeting grain silos in the war-

ravaged country, either razing them or capturing them.

“These people are crazy and they have destroyed everything in the country... this is not logical for any person,” said Al-Khshali, adding that ongoing military conflicts have also destroyed generational knowledge in Iraq.

Youth may go off to fight, people are also killed at home, forced off their land or internally displaced, he said, leaving either no one to teach the next generation about farming or no one to learn.

Education systems have also been disrupted.

As a result, Iraq depends heavily on foreign imports of wheat, particularly from Canada.

“We are really happy that we deal with Canadian wheat, we have dealt with it for a long time,” he said, noting Iraq had purchased 100,000 tonnes of wheat from Richardson only three months earlier and had made an order for that same amount three months prior to that.

Canada, China canola talks end without deal

He said that the kind of training provided by Cigi is exactly what his country’s millers and growers are looking for, and that he hopes the relationship between the institute and Iraq continues to be a strong one.

Nigeria has also been increasingly reliant on Canadian wheat in recent years, although for very different reasons.

“Canadian wheat is not new to Nigeria, but we have seen the import of Canadian wheat into Nigeria double in the last couple of years, to be precise, I think from 2008 the import value of Canadian wheat was about C$12.3 million, which rose to about C$160.5 million by 2013,” said Emmanuel Mshelia of Royal Mills and Foods Limited in Karu Abuja, Nigeria. “And if you look at the figure for exports of Canadian merchandise to Nigeria in 2015, it stood at about C$469 million, which is a lot of growth.”

Demand for high-protein wheat, which is usually blended

with lower-quality wheats, has been driven by a growing and increasingly urban population.

That same population is also seeking convenient foods that require little preparation, Mshelia added.

Instant Asian noodles are one of the most popular choices for consumers and the main product produced by Royal Mills.

“Asian noodles were introduced into the Nigerian market I think about 22, 25 years ago, and it has gained acceptance by almost all category of people,” he explained. “Because of the convenience of cooking, it’s very fast… lifestyles have changed.”

Royal Mills plans to double production in the next year, tripling it with the next five years, importing more Canadian wheat as it expands. However, due to low oil prices and a deepening recession, overall wheat imports to Nigeria are expected to shrink in 2017.

“We are aggressive as a company and we have been able to come out with a very good product, which is very, very fast taking over the market,” Mshelia said, adding the characteristics of Canadian Western Red Spring wheat is particularly well suited to instant noodle production.

Morgan said that presentations on noodle making, milling and baking were all a part of the program, which allowed customers to really get to know the Canadian system of production.

I M P O R T A N T

“There were many questions asked and many questions answered,” he said, adding that the program has been adapted many times since its inception nearly five decades ago. The end of the Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk has also changed the interactions participants have.

“We have a bit more opportunity to introduce them to some other Canadian crops as well, and some of their countries are also importing other Canadian crops, like canola and pulses and things like that,” Morgan said. “So we spend a little bit of time on those kinds of crops as well, and have presentations by groups like Pulse Canada and the Canola Council that didn’t happen in the past.”

There was also a presentation

by Grain Farmers of Ontario, before the group headed to Vancouver to see wheat being loaded onto ships.

“When the wheat board was around, it was pretty focused on western wheat and now we have the opportunity to include something about eastern Canadian wheat as well,” he said.

Some of the participants had been in Canada before, but it has been decades since a representative from Iraq has participated.

For others it was their first trip to Canada.

“This is my first and I hope it won’t be my last,” said Mshelia. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

alks between Canadian and Chinese officials ended in Beijing without China backing down from plans to toughen its inspection standard for canola, threatening $2 billion in Canadian exports of the oilseed ahead of a visit by Canada’s prime minister.

Discussions will continue between the two governments, and resolving the issue is a priority for Ottawa, Guy Gallant, s p o k e s m a n f o r C a n a d a’s Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay, said Aug. 12.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to visit China before September Group of 20 (G20) meetings there. Trudeau, elected last year, pledged to expand trade with China, although relations between the countries have been testy at times.

Canada is the world’s biggest exporter of canola, used mainly to produce vegetable oil.

Exporters including R i c h a rd s o n In t e r n a t i o n a l , Viterra and Cargill stand to lose sales to Canada’s biggest canola export market, and the dispute may also hurt China’s push for a free trade deal with Canada.

“China and Canada have been seeking to find a solution to this issue through consultations,” said Yang Yundong, spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Canada, referring other questions to the Canadian government.

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Safety first

BY GORD GILMOUR Co-operator Associate Editor

A

few years ago I had what I now ruefully refer to as a series of unfortunate events.

It began innocently enough with a phone call one Saturday morning from a friend, wondering if I could help him Gord Gilmour move a couch.

Associate Editor An hour or so later, on a frosty March morning, we were wrestling it out of the side door of his house when I suddenly felt both feet slip out from under me and one ankle jammed against the foundation of his house so loudly I heard a pop.

Being a man I insisted it was just a really bad sprain and hobbled back to my place to ice it. After a couple of days it hadn’t got any better. In fact, the bruise was so pronounced the whole foot was turning black. Upon seeing the damage first hand, one friend announced, “Gord, that looks like a corpse’s foot. I’m taking you to the hospital.” Turns out I’d broken the ball off the big bone in my lower leg and required surgery to repair it.

A couple of days later, I got surgery and an overnight hospital stay, and was released to the world hobbling around on my crutches.

If the story ended there, you’d think, “so what?” But of course there’s a punchline.

About three days later, clumsy fellow that I can be, I managed to fall off the crutches and sever the connection between my patellar tendon and kneecap on the other leg.

Back to the hospital I went for a second, and even larger and more invasive, surgery to fix this new problem. For those of you keeping score at home, this left me with one leg I couldn’t put weight on for six weeks and another that I couldn’t bend for about the same length of time.

A good friend put it best when he came to visit me in the hospital and inquired, “So, basically, you’re just a really mouthy paperweight for the next while?”

All I could do was agree. I certainly couldn’t chase him down and make him take it back.

I don’t tell this story looking to garner any sympathy. It’s years in the rear-view mirror. I’ve made a near-total recovery and picked up some new weather prediction skills while I was at it. And the perspective of time has turned the whole experience into a bunch of funny stories and a few valuable life lessons on important topics like patience and empathy.

Still, if I could go back to prevent it from happening I would. It was painful, disruptive and that knee will never quite be the same. And doubly so because I know with crystal clarity I could have prevented both injuries if I’d just slowed down for a few seconds and made sure I was progressing safely.

I saw the patch of ice I slipped on when moving the couch, but it looked like it was well out of the way of the path. I recall thinking, “we should put something on that,” but of course we didn’t. Then the reality of moving an eight-foot-long piece of furniture forced me off the path and right onto it so my friend could clear the door frame. The rest is very painful history.

As for falling off my crutches, I knew that I was struggling to adapt to them. I also knew there was better technology available for rent, such as knee scooters. I just hadn’t got around to getting one yet before it all caught up with me.

I do tell this story to you as a cautionary tale. Every accident that’s ever happened always has multiple points when the whole chain of events could be stopped dead. It’s the reason safety advocates and even some law enforcement and emergency responders are loath to call events “accidents,” because baked into that wording is the assumption nothing could have possibly prevented it — when nothing is further from the truth.

The fact of the matter is Manitoba farms are just entering one of their busiest seasons, as the hard work of the spring and summer culminates in harvest.

The days will be long, the pressures high and too often inclement weather will loom. There will be a terrible temptation to cut corners. Fatigue will catch up with you. Sometimes risks will flat out be missed in the hustle. I know all of this and I know little can change this reality.

But taking just a bit longer can often be the most efficient way to accomplish your work. After all, an injury is at best a time waster and at worst a crisis. And I suppose a fatal accident would free you from the tyranny of the calendar but I don’t think I’m putting words in anyone’s mouth when I say we’d all probably be happy to give that option a pass.

Accidents always spring from error of the human kind. They can happen very quickly and are irrevocable. Once they happen, all the wishing in the world won’t take away the effects.

With harvest underway in parts of Manitoba and right on the verge in others, I just want to wish you all the best for a smooth, profitable and safe harvest.

You deserve it — and so do your families. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Consumers need to manage food packaging waste

BY PAUL BOOTSMA CFFO

S

ince early in May Tim Hortons has been removing garbage bins from drivethrough lanes. Some have been placed in less obvious locations on the store properties.

Tim Hortons is concerned customers don’t have enough time to properly sort their garbage into bins placed alongside drive-through lanes, so it has taken the trash cans away.

They were also finding too much trash from other sources, which is one reason given for the changes.

“The recent changes we’ve made to the placement of our exterior waste and recycling units are meant to improve the accuracy and efficiency of our waste diversion programs,” the company said in an emailed statement to the Globe and Mail when the changes began this spring. “Our goal with the new waste and recycling unit locations is to provide our guests with enough time to sort materials into the appropriate compartments, which can be difficult in a quick-moving drive-through lane.”

I have often observed that these waste and recycling bins are messy. It takes time for employees to clean up and hopefully they will not get stung by a bee in the process. This is a cost to the franchise and therefore it makes sense (cents) to make changes. So people will need to go out of their way to dispose of their garbage. This puts the responsibility of garbage disposal onto the consumer.

Because consumers purchase a good

amount of processed food as part of their weekly diets, we end up with a significant amount of packaging that is typically thrown out. Throwing out this garbage is very easy to do. It gets picked up for us and delivered to the landfill site. We pay for the cost of this through our taxes. If more responsibility for garbage disposal is placed on the consumer, would they then in turn opt for less packaging with their purchases?

Waste is a big topic lately, and here in Ontario, the government has upcoming ‘Waste Free Ontario’ legislation. Food waste is certainly a big part of the equation in the food sector, but packaging needs our attention as well to reduce environmental pollution. As landfills are filling up to their maximum use and less land is available for these sites, work needs to be done on reducing the waste that goes to landfill sites in the first place. We need to keep our agricultural land for food production and often landfill sites take up this asset.

What needs to be determined is the most efficient and environmentally friendly process to dispose of garbage and then society should encourage government to support that process.

Perhaps Tim Hortons has it right. If you purchase products with throw-away packaging, it’s your responsibility to dispose of it properly. If you don’t like to, don’t purchase it. As for coffee cups, bring your travel mug next time you order a coffee through the drive-through.

OUR HISTORY: August 1986

C

anadian Co-operative Implements Ltd. (CCIL) started in 1940 as a co-op to market equipment and later manufacture its own. In 1973, CCIL built a large plant in Winnipeg to manufacture combines, swathers, discers, cultivators, harrows and other equipment. The decision turned out to be a poor one for the company, and it struggled for several years. In 1986 it merged with Vicon Manufacturing, keeping its former logo but renaming the company as Cereal Implements, as seen in this ad in our Aug. 14, 1986 issue. However, it continued to struggle and was placed in receivership in 1991.

As a reminder of how communication has changed, the NFU had sent a message to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney asking him to take action against the U.S. for its grain export subsidies. The message was sent by telegram.

Manitoba Crop Insurance had announced extension of winter wheat coverage to the Red River Valley if growers used Dithane (mancozeb) to control rust. Cost was said to be expensive at $15 an acre. Meanwhile the new fungicide Tilt was being tested in the province, and manufacturer Ciba-Geigy hoped to have it registered in 1988.

The Winnipeg Commodity Exchange had rejected appeals of three members who had been expelled and fined $375,000. Two of the traders were later prosecuted and jailed for fraud.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Biofuels are mankind’s greatest blunder Proponents of biofuels are simply refusing to count their true environmental cost

By Gwyn Morgan TroyMedia

A

re biofuels really greener than the fossil fuels they displace?

In a recent column I pointed out that electric cars are only as green as the fuel used to generate the electricity they consume.

For internal-combustion-powered vehicles, much of the focus has been on trying to reduce carbon emissions by adding ethanol to gasoline and vegetable oil to diesel.

These biofuels are sourced mainly from cereal grain and vegetable oil.

Ethanol is manufactured by fermenting and distilling grain, while vegetable oil comes mainly from palm trees.

Biofuel has become an enormous global industry, producing some 100 billion litres annually.

Mandatory ethanol and vegetable oil standards have been enacted in 64 countries.

But biofuels fail on several fronts.

First we need to correct the popular misconception that burning biofuel produces significantly lower emissions than gasoline or diesel.

In reality, there’s little difference.

Essentially, all of the hypothesized emission reduction relies on the premise that, since plants consume carbon dioxide to grow, the carbon they remove approximates the carbon released when burned. This is the basis for the biofuel industry’s claim of zero net emissions.

But just as the zero-emissions electr ic car fallacy ignores the

environmental impacts of electricity generation, the zero-emissions biofuel myth ignores the environmental impacts of production.

And there’s a lot of evidence that these production impacts cause very serious environmental damage, while exacerbating global food shortages and creating price escalations.

Let’s star t with ethanol fuel.

The United States and Brazil are by far the largest producers. In the U.S., some five billion bushels of corn are used annually to produce 49 billion litres of ethanol fuel through the same highly energyintensive fermentation and distillation process used to produce whiskey. That 49 billion litres of ethanol are enough to fill 65 billion standard whiskey bottles.

Mu l t i p l e s t u d i e s , i n c l u d i n g by the International Institute for Sustainable Development, conclude that the fossil fuel used to p r o d u c e c o r n e t h a n o l c re a t e s essentially the same carbon emissions as the gasoline and diesel displaced.

But that’s only part of the environmental impact. Rising cor n prices have led to the draining and tillage of ecologically important wetlands. And increased fertilizer use has sent nutrient-rich run-off into streams and rivers, resulting in weed-choked, oxygen-starved water courses devoid of fish and other aquatic life.

Meanwhile in Brazil, almost one million acres a year of carbondioxide-absorbing tropical forest are clear cut and replaced by

“... the zero-emissions biofuel myth ignores the environmental impacts of production.”

Gwyn Morgan

sugar cane for ethanol production.

Studies show that the net effect is about 50 per cent more carbon emissions than by fuelling automobiles with fossil fuels.

Then there’s the food-or-fuel issue. The cereal grain required to produce enough ethanol to fill the fuel tank of an average-size car would feed one person for a year.

In 2000, some 70 per cent of global corn imports came from the U.S., but that important global food supply has largely been redirected to ethanol production. So while U.S. Corn Belt farmers buy bigger tractors and more expensive pickups, international food-focused nongovernmental organizations such as Oxfam cite biofuels as contributing to food supply shortages and price increases that disproportionately hurt the world’s poor.

What about the environmental impacts of producing palm oil for biodiesel?

Indonesia is the world’s largest producer of palm oil and the island of Borneo, in particular, is a great place to produce it, provided you first burn one of the world’s most important rainforests. A visit to this land is a depressing lesson in

the unintended consequences of actions taken by politicians half a world away. I have witnessed the lung-choking smoke as hundreds of thousands of square kilometres of rainforest were burned to create huge industrial palm tree farms. The same scenario is playing out in remote parts of Indonesian Sumatra.

How ironic that decisions aimed at environmental benefit are permanently destroying the lungs of our planet, obliterating the way of life of aboriginals who have lived in harmony with nature for centuries, and wiping out habitat for endangered species like orangutan.

A Na t u ra l G e o g ra p h i c a r t i c l e entitled biofuels: The Original Car Fuel, states “Gasoline and diesel are actually ancient biofuels... made from decomposed plants and animals that have been buried in the ground for millions of years.”

Trying to replace these ancient biofuels with fuels made from plants grown today is one of mankind’s greatest environmental blunders.

Manitoba cosmetic pesticide ban is healthy public policy The new provincial government’s move to reopen this debate is poorly considered

By Kim Perrotta MHSc and Dr. John Howard Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment

M

a n i t o b a’s g ov e r n ment has reopened the public debate on cosmetic pesticides.

T h e p r ov i n c i a l re g u l a tions, which banned the use of chemical herbicides on lawns and public properties used by children, came into effect less than two years ago.

On July 20, the province launched a public consultation process on the ban with a Twitter post that posed the question, “Pesticide free or weed free?” It seems an unfortunate way to engage residents in an important discussion about a public policy that is directed towards the protection of public health.

Municipalities and provinces began banning the use of cosmetic pesticides two decades ago, in response to concerns expressed by their citizens about the serious health impacts that appeared to be associated

with them. While companies do conduct laboratory tests on active ingredients in pesticide products in order to get them approved for sale, those tests are far from perfect. They do not always pick up on chronic health impacts associated with long-term exposures.

They do not pick up serious health impacts that can result from subtle changes in the hormone or immune systems of humans. They are seldom conducted on the mixture of chemicals contained in each pesticide product. They do not reflect the cumulative exposures that humans experience from many different sources.

For this reason, epidemiological studies, conducted on populations of humans, are used by health scientists to identify health impacts from exposures that people experience in real life.

Thousands of epidemiological studies have been directed at pesticides. In 2002, Toronto Public Health conducted a systematic review of 300 scientific studies conducted on pesticides used on lawn and gardens.

Thousands of epidemiological studies have been directed at pesticides.

When the reviewers examined studies of occupationally exposed workers, they found that pesticides were associated with moderate increases in the risks for some cancers, some reproductive effects, and some neurological disorders.

When they examined the long-term studies directed at children, they found that p re - c o n c e p t i o n , p re n a t a l and postnatal exposure to pesticides were associated with moderate increases in the risks from some cancers and some birth defects.

In 2012, the Ontario College of Family Physicians conducted a systematic review of pesticide studies published after 2003. These reviewers closely examined 142 well-designed studies and found that pesticide exposures were associated with adverse reproductive

effects (e.g. low birth weights in babies), measurable deficits in the neurodevelopment of children (e.g. deficits in their mental and/or motor development), and respiratory diseases (e.g. asthma).

In many of these studies, the adverse effects observed in children were related to the exposure of their mothers during pregnancy or to exposures early in life.

The reviewers concluded that steps should be taken by individuals and communities to minimize pesticide exposures for all members of society, and for pregnant women and children in particular. They also noted that previous bans directed at pesticides that had heavy health burdens were effective in reducing both, the health risks in children, and the frequency with which pesticides were detected in

samples collected from children and the environment.

When health professionals look at these results, we weigh the health risks against the health benefits associated with their use. We recognize that there may be times when the health benefits associated with the use of a pesticide may outweigh the health risks associated with them (although even in those cases, we would ask ourselves if there were safer alternatives). However, in the case of cosmetic pesticides, where the purpose is to guarantee a beautiful lawn or garden, we feel that the health risks to our children must take precedence. This is the thinking behind municipal and provincial bans of cosmetic pesticides. It is to apply the precautionary principle; to decide to act for the protection of our children in the face of scientific uncertainty.

The 1913 fair opened on July 13. It was held for 10 days and saw 200,000 visitors. The Dominion Exhibition building went on to host community events for several decades.

“In the 1980s we stopped using the building for fairs and started to use it for storage. Then it began to deteriorate and started to leak, so we had to decide what we were going to do with it,” Cochrane said.

Heritage designation In 1984, the province listed the building as a provincial heritage site and in 2009, the Heritage Canada Foundation listed the building as one of the most endangered structures in the country.

“Heritage Canada actually listed the building on its top 10 endangered places list. It was definitely in poor condition and something needed to be done. It was estimated to collapse within five years at that time,” said Daryl

Knight, project manager with the Provincial Exhibition.

Parks Canada listed the building as a rare surviving example of the late-19th- and early-20thcentury-type of exhibition halls.

By 2009, the Dominion Exhibition building was the only surviving building in Canada that had been constructed for the Dominion Exhibition Fairs.

“At that time the building was

being maintained by the Keystone Centre, but it could not afford the necessary repairs,” Cochrane said. “And, because of the heritage designation, it wasn’t able to have it torn down.”

Restoration progress With the history of the building in mind, the exhibition began envisioning the restored building to be a cultural and tourism asset for WestMan that would house an agriculture display, contain office

space and include an outdoor agriculture-themed park.

The restoration began in 2009 and since then sewer and water lines have been dug in, a fire-suppression system installed, the roof replaced, windows restored, the perimeter foundation replaced and interior windows added.

“There are over 100 windows in this building. The old original windows were really rotted and the original glass was broken,” Cochrane said. “So, we took them

The word on Clearfield canola is spreading. And so are the acres.

As canola rotations continue to tighten, it’s no wonder more growers are using it. Because rotating to the Clearfield® Production System for canola gives you exceptional control of volunteers from other systems. It’s also the only system that delivers long-lasting control of flushing weeds. And with exclusive production contract premiums, Clearfield canola is the ideal way to maximize the potential of your crop.

up to the Air Training Museum in Brandon where they have a good woodworking shop and they were willing to work with us to restore all of the windows.”

The interior posts were in great condition with only one having to be replaced, but the exterior doors were a little bit more of a challenge.

“The doors were pretty much all gone, so we just went with pictures of what the doors are supposed to look like. We had them installed this spring,” Cochrane said.

Local contractors have done more than 90 per cent of the work.

“We work through the tendering process and through that you can really see the community support,” Knight said. “When they submit for the tenders they will come in with affordable rates because they want to be a part of the project. We have had some very strong support that way.”

Project challenges The project’s biggest obstacles have been bringing the building up to code while adhering to the heritage designation allowances.

“The outside of the building is 100 per cent heritage and we had to follow some very strict rules and regulations there,” Knight said.

“With the interior we don’t have to but we are still trying to preserve as much of the original structure as possible because it is the right thing to do.”

And then of course there is acquiring funding.

“A lot of people are in favour of heritage buildings but not a lot of people are in favour of spending any money and heritage buildings are really expensive,” Cochrane said.

The budget is $7.2 million and so far the project has raised $3.5 million through federal and provincial cost-sharing programs, public and private donations and funds from the Provincial Exhibition.

Cochrane says the goal was to have the building completed by July of 2017 in order to take part in Canada’s 150th anniversary.

“I feel as though we will complete it to a certain point. It may not have the glossy finish that we wanted it to have but we will get there one day,” Cochrane said.

Currently, the project continues to press forward with restoring the exterior entranceways, the dome towers, insulation, electrical and communication lines as well as finalizing the interior details.

The agriculture display will include interactive displays and activities that will incorporate both the history of the building, history of local agriculture as well as details of modern local agriculture activity.

The Provincial Exhibition has plans to move its staff into the office space area and will also have additional space for other not-forprofit agricultural groups.

Cochrane says they will continue to push forward with the goal but have been holding back on some work in order to have enough funds to match a few applied-for cost-sharing programs.

“Most of the grants that we are applying for and have applied for are cost sharing so we need to be cognizant of that and able to produce our portion of the funds,” Cochrane said.

CP Rail Continued from page 1

“We have been idle in terms of cars in service really since about May,” John Brooks, CP’s vice-president of sales and marketing for intermodal and grain said in an interview Aug. 11. “So the network has a lot of unused capacity that has been ‘wasted’ here the last three or four months.”

Railways, grain companies and farmers learned lessons after a record crop backed up on the Prairies in 2013-14, Brooks said. One is to move out as much old crop as possible to make room for the new one.

“I know it may not be optimal prices (for grain)… but use the idle capacity when you can because there is going to come a day probably in the next two weeks that there will not be anymore,” Brooks said. “Unfortunately we have not seen that materialize to the level that we had hoped. But we will see.

“Our biggest issue right now is the delay. It has been a slow start to the harvest because of this moisture. We are ready to get it amped up.”

Equipment coming back CP is bringing locomotives, cars and staff back into service. It had more than 700 locomotives and 4,000 cars parked.

“So the network has a lot of unused capacity that has been ‘wasted’ here the last three or four months.”

John Brooks

hours and then once delivered unloaded in 24 hours. Brooks said the round trip for a dedicated train is nine to 11 days.

The key to increasing CP’s capacity is faster and longer trains, Brooks said. More grain is getting moved with fewer assets.

Buffer for problems That’s fine on paper, Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the WGEA has said in previous interviews, but every business needs extra capacity for when things go wrong, as they did in 2013-14. Not only was there a record crop to move, but it was the coldest winter in 100 years. Sobkowich, who speaks for Western Canada’s biggest grain companies, says the railways need capacity for when disaster strikes. He also argues the railways are near monopolies immune from normal market forces that would normally compel a business to have emergency capacity.

That’s why the WGEA wants

regulations penalizing the railways for failing to meet service commitments.

Brooks said the railways do compete, but it’s unreasonable to expect them to move the entire crop in three or four months during the peak demand.

“Hopefully there is an improved realization that the more we can do to work together to move maximum levels the better, but also be smart about how we move that grain into different corridors, utilizing Thunder Bay and over… a longer portion of the crop year,” Brooks said.

“The other component I think is we need everybody disciplined. It (system) has got to be working 24-7 collectively.

However, Brooks is optimistic about prospects for improved movement.

“Based on my discussions with the grain companies I think we all better understand what it is going to take. We have learned lessons.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

PROOFREAD

Brooks acknowledged it’s not unusual for grain movement to drop off at the end of one crop year and start slow in the new one, but with another big crop expected the grain system needs every bit of capacity.

In June the Western Grain Elevator Association (WGEA) estimated Western Canada would produce 63 million to 72 million tonnes of grains, oilseeds and pulse crops. Brooks said one grain company’s latest estimate is 72 million tonnes — not far off the 2013 record of 76 million and well above the five-year average of 61 million tonnes.

CP’s network is better equipped to handle a big crop now than it was three years ago, having added or extended 35 sidings, giving system operators more flexibility.

“The net result of that is we are seeing train speeds 25 to 30 per cent faster than our historical train speeds through these corridors,” Brooks said. “When we look at our network we feel good… coming into this crop year.”

About 80 per cent of CP grain moves is in unit trains of 112 to 134 cars, Brooks said.

Meanwhile, CP’s ‘dedicated train’ program has increased 15 per cent this year. Grain companies book trains for the entire crop year. The companies tell the railways where to spot the cars and where to deliver them.

The cars must be loaded in 24

More than just bumblebees A new research project at AAFC is assessing habitat for the 231 different species of native bees in Manitoba

BY JENNIFER PAIGE Co-operator staff / Brandon

H

ow pollinator friendly is your farm?

A new study being conducted at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Brandon Research and Development Centre is looking to gather data on the province’s native bees and create an on-farm habitatassessment tool.

“We don’t have a lot of information on native bees in Manitoba but we are starting to get better information,” said Melanie Dubois, senior riparian and biodiversity biologist at AAFC. “For the first part of this project we have 12 different fields set up around Brandon, generally within a 15-km radius, and we are doing sampling in those areas to find out which pollinators are present.”

To get a better understanding of which insects are populating the area, the researchers have placed a number of plastic cups in field margins, which attract the bees due to their colour.

Once the bees enter the cup they drown in a solution of propylene glycol and dish detergent and are collected a week later.

“We are focusing on the native bees simply because those are ones that do a really good and efficient job of pollinating,” Dubois said.

Honeybees have not been included in the study as they are non-native and are considered to be livestock.

They live in the soil Dubois says there are approximately 231 different species of

Manitoba has approximately 231 different species of native bees, including 24 different species of bumblebees. Photo: Jennifer Paige

The tool, called Pollinator Habitat Assessment Form and Guide for Farms and Agriculture Landscapes, focuses on landscape features, year-round resources, nesting habitats and farm practices.

Dubois and her team have been using the tool to assess habitat within one kilometre of their sampling sites.

The long-term goal of the study will be to train individuals to come onto the farm, determine which bees are in the area, assess the local habitat and provide recommendations on ways to bump populations.

Habitat species bees in Manitoba, including 24 different species of bumblebees.

“About 80 per cent of the bees in Manitoba live in the soil, and they need undisturbed soil,” Dubois said. “How much undisturbed soil do you think we have in Manitoba? Not a lot, so when we talk about habitat destruction for native bees it’s not just losing the flowers and food that they eat but it is nesting material too.”

The goal of the project is not only to understand the current state of native bees in the province but also to develop an assessment tool to identify the quality of the local habitat and pinpoint areas of improvement.

T h e X e rc e s S o c i e t y f o r Invertebrate Conservation in Portland, Oregon developed the assessment tool that Dubois is using for the study.

“It should work well here because it was designed for the upper Midwest but we are tweaking it a little bit and adding in a few more components on the actual vegetation,” Dubois said.

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

Dubois has been working closely with her AAFC counterparts to select appropriate plant species and establishment techniques for Manitoba.

“We are looking to determine not only what species you put in but what is the best way to get them established and then how do you maintain it so it doesn’t turn into a mess of weeds?” Dubois said. “There is no point of coming up with an expensive mix that then attracts weeds. We are hoping to come up with something that is practical to do on a farm scale.”

According to the Xerces assessment tool, there are a number of cover crops and crops that provide pollen and nectar for native bees.

Examples include alfalfa, alsike clover, buckwheat, crimson clover, corn, Dutch white clover, fababeans, red clover, sainfoin, soybeans, sunflower and purple vetch.

Dubois says that when looking at what is available to the bees, it’s important to consider how far they are likely to fly.

“When you are getting into the mid-size bees, they can fly about a kilometre but when you are looking at the really small bees, they might go 15 metres.”

The size of the bee and space between their shoulders is what determines how far they are able to fly.

The bumblebee can fly up to two kilometres, which is the farthest of all native bees.

“So that is when you start to get an idea that if you want to have a healthy and diverse pollinator species, you have to think about what habitat is available to them because they will only fly so far,” Dubois said.

Local producers sought The study is slated to continue through next year. Dubois is currently looking for 10 to 12 Brandon-area canola producers who would be willing to take part.

“We would be looking to set up a number of cups in and around your canola fields. We would place them at the time of bloom, check them about once and week and remove them at the end of the season,” Dubois said. “What you will get is pictures for your bees, maybe one or two samples and a report that tells you all about your habitat in the area, a list of plants that are there that are good for your bees and break it all down for you.”

For more information, contact Dubois at 204-578-6646.

here was a slight increase in activity at auction marts across Manitoba for the week ending Aug. 12, but the summer slowdown is expected to stick around another two to five weeks before picking up, said one local auctioneer.

“We’re going to get started on some small volumes of the yearlings in the next few weeks before the big sets of yearlings come out, but we’re still probably a month away from the busy time,” said Robin Hill, manager of Heartland Livestock Services at Virden.

Lower feed costs, combined with a higher futures market and the lower U.S. dollar, are pushing feeder cattle higher, one of the auction yards reported.

There has also been an increase on the feeder trade as the Chicago Board of Trade strengthened, Hill said.

“When (the CBOT) goes up it’s almost like the Bible; it makes everyone feel comfortable paying what they’re paying and sometimes paying more,” he said. “We’ve definitely seen the feeder cattle and the live cattle strengthen these past two weeks, but that might change by next week.”

The butcher trade has been steady all summer, with activity in the currency markets adding some support, he said.

“The cows and bulls have been pretty full and steady… Good cows are 92 to 98 cents (per pound), with the odd cow bringing in a buck a pound, which isn’t too bad for a cow that’s done her job for many years.”

Demand from out west and down south is very good, but smaller volume makes it harder to build loads, Hill said.

Robin Hill Heartland Livestock Services, Virden

“Once we get into some volume yearlings and some volume calves, Ontario and Quebec could be big players in the game again.”

Feed and corn crops have been doing excellent in Manitoba, contributing to the slow season now, but will lead to some decisions in the fall, Hill said.

“The feed situation is plentiful in Manitoba, which is great to see; the combines just started rolling here, and if the combines are roaring we’re probably going to stay sort of quiet until that’s done,” he said.

“If the (cow-calf ) producers aren’t happy or satisfied with the cow prices, they can grow them into next year, put some feed into them that’s not going to cost them a whole bunch of money.”

Pastures across Manitoba are in good condition, with abundant grass growth being reported in some areas, according to the province’s latest crop report. The Interlake has experienced some flooding due to excessive rain, but otherwise water supply in pastures remains adequate.

A charity looking to fight the rise of dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria is asking the public to help convince McDonald’s restaurants around the world to stop serving meat and milk from animals raised with routine use of medically important antibiotics.

A week after the world’s biggest fast-food company took that step with poul-

try at its U.S. restaurants, U.K.-based ShareAction launched an online campaign enabling people to email McDonald’s Corp.

CEO Steve Easterbrook.

The group, which promotes socially responsible investing, wants Easterbrook to prohibit the use of antibiotics important to human medicine in McDonald’s global chicken, beef, pork and dairy supply chains, for purposes other than disease treatment or non-routine control of veterinarian-diagnosed illness.

“We hope this action will encourage McDonald’s to supersize their ambition,” ShareAction chief executive Catherine Howarth said.

Scientists have warned that regular use of antibiotics to promote growth and prevent illness in healthy farm animals contributes to the rise of antibiotic-resistant “superbug” infections, which kill at least 23,000 Americans each year and pose a significant threat to global health.

McDonald’s referred Reuters to an earlier statement that said it was premature to set a timeline for curbing antibiotic use in meats other than chicken, due to varying agricultural practices and regulations around the world.

“We continue to regularly review this issue,” that statement said.

he ICE Futures Canada canola market climbed to a new support level during the week ended Aug. 12. The front-month November contract started the week just below the $450-per-tonne mark. However, it wasn’t long before values climbed by more than $10 to settle around the $460-per-tonne level. Contracts chopped around that mark, for the most part, with the exception of the Thursday session, when values temporarily plunged $5 before recovering.

Advances in U.S. soybeans came as a welcome surprise to many who predicted (correctly) that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s monthly world agricultural supply-and-demand estimates ( WASDE) would paint a bearish picture of the soybean market. USDA pegged soybean production this year at 4.06 billion bushels, with yields of almost 49 bushels an acre. That was above analysts’ expectations and pushed down soybeans and, by extension, canola.

However, the deadline on China’s plan to impose stricter dockage allowances on imports of Canadian canola is looming on the horizon (Sept. 1). The Canadian dollar also firmed roughly half a cent during the week, which put a drag on the market.

In the U.S., corn futures declined slightly during the week due to a confluence of factors. USDA predicted this year’s corn crop would exceed an astounding 15.1 billion bushels, which weighed on the market.

Western Canadian wheat bids rise with U.S. futures Gains in U.S. wheat futures offer up some support

BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN CNS Canada

S

pring wheat cash bids across Western Canada showed some strength during the week ended Aug. 12, with gains in U.S. futures providing some support.

Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were up by $4-$7 per tonne, according to price quotes from a cross-section of delivery points across the Prairie provinces compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes).

Average prices ranged from about $199 per tonne in Alberta’s Peace River region, to as high as $216 in southern parts of that province.

Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but held steady overall to range from about $10 to $27 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 the Canadian dollar cash bids.

When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$153 to US$166 per tonne. That would put the currency adjusted basis levels at about US$22$35 below the futures.

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

to Canadian dollars, CWRS basis levels across Western Canada range from $28 to $45 below the futures.

Bids for Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat reported by PDQ were up by anywhere from $1 to $15 per tonne over the course of the week.

Average CPSR prices came in at about $160-$173 per tonne in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Average durum prices were down by $1-$5 per tonne, depending on the location, with bids in Saskatchewan ranging from roughly $239 to $244 per tonne.

The September spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts in Canada are based, was quoted Aug. 12 at US$5.1375 per bushel, up 18.75 U.S. cents per bushel from the previous week.

Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, which are now traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The September K.C. wheat contract was quoted at US$4.1625 per bushel on Aug. 12, up 4.5 U.S. cents compared to the previous week.

The September Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled Aug. 12 at US$4.225, up by 6.5 U.S. cents on the week.

The Canadian dollar closed Aug. 12 at 77.15 U.S. cents, up by over a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart on the week.

Six limiting factors in your soil that will make or break your operation Without these six key ingredients, your soil — and your farm — could be in trouble

By JENNIFER BLAIR Staff

F

arms and grazing operations — organic or otherwise — are only as good as their worst resource, according to Oregon-based grazier Abe Collins.

“Soil is our primary infrastructure on the farm,” said Collins, who spoke at the recent Organic Alberta conference.

“Biologically, chemically, and physically, you need to be looking at the limiting factors in your soil.”

In the Canadian Prairies, water tends to be a key limiting factor when it comes to growing crops and forages — but there are others as well, said Collins.

This checklist covers off six other important factors that could mean the difference between success and failure on your farm. While Collins was speaking to an audience of organic producers, there’s plenty of good ideas for conventional growers to borrow too.

Year-long green The first rule, says Collins, is “100 per cent covered soils 100 per cent of the time — never bare soil.

“Bare soil is a burn victim,” he said.

“If we’re maintaining our land like that, we’re maintaining our loved one in a hospital bed with no skin.”

That means growing a variety of crops all throughout the year, through intercropping, incorporating winter crops into the rotation, and exploring cover crop mixes.

“We need to be growing during the growing season, growing in the winter, and growing when other people’s fields might be sitting under standing water.”

Soils need both aerobic — or oxygen-rich — and anaerobic — or oxygen-free — conditions, but overall, soil is an aerobic system. “It needs to have airflow through it.”

Warmth

Physical permeability Compacted soils are one of the biggest barriers to crop and forage growth, so dealing with compaction is “step one.”

“If I’m looking for the major limiting factor, nine times out of 10 it’s compaction,” said Collins.

“Air, water, gas, roots, microbes, and macro-organisms like worms have to be able to move through that soil. If it’s packed, that all shuts down.”

Minerals Having adequate fertility in the soil is a key factor in plant growth, and in many cases, that simply means “unlocking” minerals that are already there.

“It’s amazing how much lockedup minerals there are in soils,” said Collins.

“Soil tests will come back and say that you need a lot of fertilizer, and yet there’s often 30,000 or 40,000 pounds of potassium, for example, in the top six inches, but it’s all locked up.”

Oregon-based grazier Abe Collins regularly speaks to farmers about how to improve their soil and productivity. PHOTO: Carbonfarmingcourse.com

But at other times, that means applying fertilizer that comes from a bag.

“When I try to turn land around that’s severely depleted, I don’t feel embarrassed about using any kind of fertilizer that is available and allowable to get that system rolling.”

Air Air is essential for all life, says Collins, and “critical” in promoting healthy plant growth.

“If there’s no air, there’s a critical limiting factor,” he said.

Plants need “war mth rather than heat,” says Collins. And the amount varies for each plant.

“We don’t need extreme heat, and we can’t live with extreme cold,” he said.

Soils need to be at about 70 per cent of air temperature in hot conditions to make full use of soil moisture, and producers can help with that by “modifying” their microclimates.

“It’s amazing what a one-inch layer of litter on the surface will do.”

Life in and on the soil Diversity of life in and on the soil is “a shortcut” to healthy crops and grazing lands, says Collins.

“Life is the key,” he said. “We need diverse life in and on the soil almost year round, and really focusing too on diversity of rooting structures — sinking as much underground as we can.”

“I’ve never gone wrong with diversity. Every time I add one species or 10 more, things get better.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Junior cattle producers work on show skills Cattle producers under the age of 25 from across Manitoba and Saskatchewan recently came together for a weekend of education and camaraderie

BY JENNIFER PAIGE Co-operator staff / Brandon

T

he annual Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup (MYBR) continues to strengthen the skills of young folks in the cattle industry.

“It is a great way for juniors of all cattle breeds to work together, learn new skills, and meet new people,” said event organizer Lois McRae. “Where else can you attend an event with 49 junior members all working together as teams and individual competitions, to learn the skills needed in the livestock industry?”

The ninth annual MYBR was held in Neepawa on July 29 to 30. Nearly 50 junior cattle producers under the age of 25 took part with 91 head of cattle.

The event included a number of workshops on photography, showmanship, artificial insemination, farm safety and grooming.

“This is not just a cattle show, it is an all-around event to promote and educate youth to continue on in the livestock industry,” McRae said. “The weekend

started off with a clipping and grooming workshop put on by the Roundup weekend mentors, Laura Horner and Jake Rawluk. Juniors learned the importance of proper hair care and blowing procedures.”

Along with the cattle show, participants also took part in timed competitions that included halter making, identifying parts of the animal and identifying different agriculture items.

“One of the highlights of Saturday was the cookoff event, where up to six members on a team created a theme and prepared the ultimate burger,” McRae said.

“Judges Brian Lemon, CEO of the Manitoba Beef Producers, Kelsey Dust, the Canadian Simmental youth co-ordinator and Mazer Implements representative Jake Rawluk evaluated this competition and were impressed with the taste of the steaks, presentation, themes and costumes.”

The event will run again next year in late July, cele b r a t i n g M Y B R ’s 1 0 t h anniversary. jennifer.paige@fbcpublishing.com

Sheep The quality of the Dorper-cross ewes that entered the arena suggested that they might be a herd dispersal, and the bidding indicated special interest. The price ranged from $1.11 to $1.16 per pound, while the average ranged from $0.85 to $0.99 per pound.

Ram prices ranged from $1.03 to $1.08, but two 155-pound Dorper-crosses brought $1.55.

No heavyweight lambs were delivered.

There was a limited selection of market lambs for this sale.

They brought $1.89 per pound.

The feeder lamb quality was also high, attracting some strong bidding. There appeared to be no price differences between wool and hair lambs.

The top price ranged from $2.08 to $2.11 per pound. The selection of feeder lambs allowed the buyers to fill their orders.

Generally, the lightweight lambs attracted similar bidding to the feeder lambs. The 70-plus-pound lambs ranged from $1.80 to $2 per pound.

Even a specialty breed ( Jacob sheep) kept within the bidding range. The young Dorpercross lambs — a product from the ewes — brought similar bidding, with good quality throughout the whole herd.

The 60-pound lambs had the buyers’ interest. Three 62-pound Cheviot-cross lambs brought $2.10 per pound.

Nineteen 63-pound Dorpercross lambs brought $1.88.

Overall, the Dorper-cross lambs showed quality and uniformity for each weight class.

E l e ve n 4 2 - p o u n d D o r p e rcrosses brought $1.73 per pound and 19 45-pounders brought $1.80 per pound.

A group of 43-pound lambs was judged more as culls and brought $1.02 per pound.

The lower-weight lambs were considered as culls requiring extra attention and the bidding became very slow.

Goats Past sales have had a limited selection of the various classification of goats, but this sale had a good selection of goat does.

There appeared to be similar interest in the meat and dairy goat does and buyers were taking advantage of purchasing the various goats delivered.

The meat goat does were not as high in quality compared to the dairy goats. In most cases, a little extra care and management will assist these animals.

The only goat buck delivered was a dairy breed. A 190-pound Alpine goat buck cross brought $1.84 per pound.

The number of goat kids was much higher than in the past few sales and the various buyers took advantage of this opportunity. The bidding remained fairly constant in each weight class, even with more goat kids available. Frequently, more animals within a class causes lower bidding. However, goat kid numbers have been very limited.

The Ontario Stockyard report showed higher bidding for lower-than-usual numbers of lambs and goats in all classes available. Buyers usually determine their bidding based upon the producers delivering the amounts of lambs and goats for each sale.

Olymel to pool Quebec hog-processing partnerships STAFF / A pair of hog-packing and -processing plants in Quebec’s Mauricie region is set to join forces through their common business partner for a major expansion.

Olymel, the meat-packing and -processing arm of Quebec’s Coop Federee, announced Aug. 9 it has sealed a partnership deal with livestock producer and processor Groupe Robitaille.

That deal, first announced last November, gives Olymel a 50 per cent share in family-owned Robitaille’s hog slaughter, butchering and processing arm, Aliments Lucyporc.

The two companies have now pledged an $80-million investment in the Lucyporc plant’s hometown of Yamachiche, about 20 km west of Trois-Rivieres. That investment, however, will go mainly into expansion and upgrades at Atrahan Transformation, another hog slaughter and porkboning and -cutting plant at Yamachiche.

Olymel and Atrahan reached a separate partnership deal in February last year. Following the expansion and reorganization at the Atrahan plant, expected to be complete within three years, a second shift will be introduced, doubling the plant’s production volume, the companies said.

On top of the 360 Atrahan staff and 430 Lucyporc staff, the expansion is expected to cre-

ate another 350 jobs, the companies said. Both plants are also expected to keep operating over the 36-month expansion period.

The Atrahan operation is already Quebec’s fourth-biggest pork-packing facility, processing almost one million hogs a year. Its expansion is to include “redevelopment” of its hog-receiving area, expansion of its slaughter section, cold rooms and butchering room.

The Atrahan expansion, Olymel said, “will create ideal conditions for sharing of expertise and maintenance and compliance with product specifications, thus enabling it to satisfy the customer requirements, especially in Japan.”

Lucyporc, which already specializes in products such as Nagano pork and the Mugifuji brand for the Japanese market, “will play a vital role in meeting the standards in product specifications,” the companies said.

The day shift at the Atrahan plant will be “mainly devoted” to the Mugifuji and Nagano brands after the expansion.

Olymel CEO Rejean Nadeau said Aug. 9 the company’s “analysis of market developments and partnerships concluded in recent years... has led us to develop a new business model designed to adapt to the challenges of today’s markets.”

The new model, he said, is meant “to put our fresh pork sector in Eastern Canada back on track to long-term profitability.”

Farm leaders say workers’ compensation coverage is a good thing Mandatory enrolment could be announced this fall, but leaders say cost and paperwork won’t be onerous

rop producers will have to wait until after harvest to find out if there is any government drought assistance, says the president of the Grain Growers of Canada.

hanges to farm safety regulations are expected soon — and that might not be a bad thing for Alberta farmers, says the president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture.

“Workers’ compensation or private insurance really is a great risk management tool for farms nowadays,” said Lynn Jacobson. “That protection against litigation is one of the big selling fac-

tors for workers’ compensation.”

Oneil Carlier, the new NDP agriculture minister, has vowed to extend workplace safety regulations to farm workers who aren’t currently covered by workers’ compensation or Occupational Health and Safety regulations.

Today, only around seven per cent of Alberta farm employers voluntarily carry workers’ compensation for their operations. But offering that protection — both for employers and employees — is one of the realities of farm-

ing today, said Jacobson, who farms near Enchant.

“There’s getting to be more and more hired help on the farm and we’re employing more people,” he said. “It gives protection from litigation and other advantages, and if you don’t have it, there can be some serious consequences.”

And farm workers today “aren’t just interested in a paycheque,” he said.

“They’re starting to realize, ‘If I get hurt on this job, where’s the protection for my family?’

When it comes down to it, a farm that has some type of

protection for those people is going to have a lot easier time hiring people.”

senior executive with CP Rail says the company is “well positioned” to move this year’s g ra i n c r o p d e s p i t e re c e n t cutbacks in staff and locomotives.

Grain is, was and will continue to be Canadian Pacific Railway’s biggest cargo, John Brooks, vice-president of sales and marketing for bulk commodities, said in an interview Aug. 6.

And the historic railway founded in 1881 is investing to move even more in the future, he said. “Make no bones about it, grain is king at CP,” he said.

“It is our life-bread. There is nothing we want to do more than move a lot of grain.

“I think we feel pretty good about our handling capacity… to move this new crop.” see CP Rail on page 7 »

High tunnel production has potential to extend the Manitoba grower’s season, says MAFRD’s fruit crops specialist Anthony Mintenko.

Cost and paperwork

Co-operator staff / Portage la Prairie

There are “some misconceptions” about workers’ compensation that have made Alberta farmers reluctant to offer coverage to their workers, said Jacobson.

“Some people don’t like that administrative role and the paperwork that is associated with the program at this point in time,” he said.

A

production system that extends the growing season, offers growers a competitive edge in the marketplace and potential to make more money sounds mighty tempting.

That’s why fruit and vegetable growers were out in large numbers at Hort Diagnostic Days in late July to hear more about construction of high tunnels.

This is the first year a variety of fruits and vegetables has been planted in the high tunnel built in 2014 at the Agriculture Agri-Food

Canada location in Portage la Prairie.

Growers are keen to hear what Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) specialists are learning.

High tunnel production is commonplace in other parts of Canada and in northern and central U.S. where nearly every type of fruit and vegetable is now grown, even tree fruits.

MAFRD staff are researching how high tunnels work in Manitoba growing conditions.

“We have a lot of recommendations from other places like Minnesota and Ontario about what to grow in a high tunnel but nothing for under Manitoba conditions,” said fruit

crop specialist Anthony Mintenko, who is evaluating day-neutral strawberries, early-season June-bearing strawberries, fall-bearing raspberries and blackberries at one end of the 100x15x7.5-foot tunnel. Provincial vegetable specialist Tom Gonsalves is experimenting with vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers at the other.

High tunnels are like greenhouses, except they don’t have a double layer of poly, and no permanent heat or electricity. But they have a similar function — they keep cold out and, conversely, heat in.

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

Seasonable late-summer weather Issued: Monday, August 15, 2016 · Covering: August 17 – August 24, 2016 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

F

or a change, last week’s u p p e r l ow e n d e d u p weakening considerably as it passed through our region, so instead of seeing several days with clouds and showers we only saw partly cloudy skies with only a few widely scattered showers and thunderstorms.

For this forecast period, for the first time in a long while, it looks like we won’t have to deal with any upper lows, but this doesn’t mean there will not be any surface-based lows to deal with. The first area of low pressure will be moving across nor ther n Manitoba dur ing the middle of this week. This low will not directly affect us, as it will be too far to the north. What we will see is a cold front slide through behind this low on Thursday, bringing with it the chance of some thunderstorms.

Co o l h i g h p re s s u re w i l l then build in on Friday and Saturday. This will likely bring clear skies in the mornings and partly cloudy skies in the

afternoons. Daytime highs look to be in the low 20s, with overnight lows around the 10 C mark. The weather models then show a weak low zipping through our region late on Sunday and into early Monday, bringing the chance for some showers.

Another larger area of high pressure is then forecast to move in by Tuesday, bringing plenty of sunshine along with nice seasonable late-summer temperatures. Expect daytime highs to be in the low to mid-20s with overnight lows in the low to mid-teens. This high will slowly pull off to the east by the second half of next week. Combine this with a developing area of low pressure to our west, and it looks like the latter part of next week will see warmer and more humid air move back in, along with the chance of more thunderstorms.

Can’t seem to avoid these upper lows A stalled area of low pressure over Louisiana tapped into near-record moisture

BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

T

hanks to what seems to be an endless procession of upper-level lows across the Prairies this spring and summer, the prospect of a hot and dry summer has pretty much fizzled away. While these upper lows have brought excessive rains to some areas, they have also brought much-needed rains to others. Some have experienced flooding, but even the worst rains and flooding this year were nothing compared to the historic rainfall event that hit a large portion of Louisiana late last week.

A stalled area of low pressure sitting over Louisiana was able to tap into nearrecord amounts of atmospheric moisture over the Gulf of Mexico and dump some unbelievable quantities of rain. Over a five-day period ending Aug. 14, Watson, La., northeast of Baton Rouge, recorded 739.3 mm of rain!

That’s not a typo; they actually received nearly threequarters of a metre! That kind of rainfall event would be estimated to occur only once in 500 years. Needless to say, several rivers in the region

… there is some talk that this current pattern is a precursor to a La Niña winter.

quickly hit record flood levels, with over 1,000 water rescues taking place.

This leads us back to a discussion on upper-level lows that we had in the spring. At that time I was hoping we wouldn’t have to take a look at them again, but it just doesn’t seem like we can avoid them this year. Luckily, for the most part, they haven’t been big rain producers as in the summer of 2009, when we saw not just plenty of rain but also plenty of clouds and cold temperatures. So far this year the upper lows have brought unsettled weather with plenty o f t h u n d e r s t o r m s, b u t n o prolonged per iods of cold weather.

I’ll have to admit, whenever I hear mention of an upperlevel low or a cut-off low, I kind of cringe. Upper-level lows are almost never a good thing. They are difficult to forecast, and if they form cutoff lows they tend to move

very slowly, and because of that, can stick around for days or even weeks!

Extreme loops So, just what are upper-level lows and cut-off lows — and what causes them? Upperlevel lows are often asso ciated, at least at first, with strong surface lows. Surface lows can form for a number of reasons, but a vast majority of them forms along the boundary between two different air masses and are associated with the jet stream. If you remember back to some of the articles I’ve written about the jet stream and waves, you might remember that areas of low pressure tend to form in the turbulent flow along the edges of the jet stream.

This is kind of like watching eddies form in the water when two different currents meet. These eddies or lows, if they stay along the edge of the two different currents or

jet stream, tend to move along fairly quickly. Occasionally these features can break away from this region and when they do, they tend to meander around until they either slowly weaken or get caught up in the main current once again and then quickly move away.

This is what can happen when we see extreme loops o f h i g h a n d l ow p re s s u re develop. The current positioning and strength of the jet stream is such that upper lows are for ming over the Pacific Ocean and are coming inland, mostly over B.C. and then holding together as they continue across the Prairies.

If the conditions are right, these upper lows can tap into colder air to the north and strengthen. If they get big and strong enough, they can sometimes break away from the main jet stream and then simply spin in place, often moving very slowly and erratically before they either slowly die or finally get caught back up into the jet stream.

In t h e s u m m e r, b e c a u s e these upper lows are pools of cold air in the upper atmosphere, we tend to see a lot of showers and thunderstorms develop. During the day the sun tries to warm the surface

area under these lows. This warming air starts to rise and it finds a cold atmosphere around it. This allows the air to continue to rise, creating showers and thunderstorms, usually by mid- to late aftern o o n . T h e s e s h ow e r s a n d storms tend to weaken overnight, only for the whole cycle to begin again the next day.

So far this year we’ve only seen a couple of upper lows get large enough to become cut-off lows. The rest of the upper lows have been relatively quick moving, taking only two to four days to move through a region, compared to one to two weeks for a cutoff low. Their faster motion gives these lows less time to pull in colder air, which is why our temperatures so far this summer have been near to only slightly below average.

What does this mean for the weather this fall and winter?

Well, there is some talk that this current pattern is a precursor to a La Niña winter.

The current forecast is for a weak La Niña to develop and continue throughout the winter. La Niña winters across the Prairies tend to have a greater chance of being cold and snowy, but as usual, winter is a fair ways off and a lot can change.

CROPS

Soil test right after the combine The tradition has been to sample for soil nutrients later in the fall, but there are compelling reasons to go sooner than later

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

I

t’s been the accepted wisdom to soil test as late as possible in the fall, but one soil test lab says it might pay to go earlier.

Agvise Laboratories, that has soil-testing labs in North Dakota and Minnesota and a large stable of Canadian customers, told growers in a recent email it may be a sound strategy to soil test right after the combine.

“Crop residue from spring wheat or other cereals is very high in carbon and takes a long time to break down,” Agvise wrote Aug. 9. “Since the wheat straw breaks down or mineralizes so slowly, soil nitrate levels from samples taken right after harvest change very little through the entire fall season.”

The company added it’s done several sampling date projects over the past 25 years, which show the soil nitrate level in wheat fields is very stable all fall.

Researchers from North Dakota State University also recommend soil sampling right behind the combine to get the best-quality soil samples, Agvise said.

Manitoba Agriculture soil fertility specialist John Heard agrees.

“Historically we have stuck to the ‘best’ principle, but the best principle is not always the most practical principle,” he said. “The best would be to wait until spring, closest to the time when the crop needs it (nutrients). But that is not at all practical.”

Agvise lists the following advantages for sampling cereal fields following the combine: • It provides very stable nitrate test levels.

• It gives the highest-quality soil sample before any tillage occurs.

• S ampling an undisturbed soil profile means accurate depth control.

• Sample depth control is important for getting consistent results for tests such as phosphorus,

potassium, zinc and organic matter percentage from year to year.

• It reveals the nitrate level in the soil profile before volunteer grain starts taking up nitrogen a few weeks after harvest.

• I t allows more time to make plans for variable-rate fertilizer applications.

• It ensures that each field gets sampled, avoiding bad weather, which can prevent sampling later in the fall.

Unleash the power of

Ideally sampling would occur in spring just before the crop is planted, but it doesn’t give farmers enough time to plan, Heard said.

If it’s a wet fall, which can result in nitrogen leaching, a farmer can adjust their fertilizer application rate, or resample, Heard said.

“Winter is not necessarily a downtime for farmers, it is planning time and they are far better to do their planning when they

have soil test values in hand so they can do their budgets,” he said. “There’s just no time to do sampling in the spring. Fall soil sampling is our competitive advantage.”

By starting earlier soil-testing services can also do a better job, Heard added. With more acres of soybeans and corn, which mature later and are harvested later, there’s less time to get all the sampling done before freeze-up.

Soil test results are just the start of the planning phase for farmers, he said. Farmers need to take other factors into account such as potential yield, whether the fertilizer will be applied in spring or fall and whether it will be banded or broadcast.

“It’s nice to wait until you are at the finish line to make your decisions, but you may not have time to do that so you have to sample earlier,” Heard said. “And that allows the soil test industry a head start.

“Going earlier allows farmers to make some fertilizer plans in the fall.”

Steve Barron, business development manager in south-central Manitoba for crop input supplier Double Diamond, is seeing more interest in earlier soil testing.

“A lot of our customers plan on applying fertilizer in the fall and need the results,” he said.

“When a guy takes a soil test core when the field has been worked the consistency and the depth of the core are so marginalized. If you can take it before the field is worked the depth and the consistency are so much more accurate and what you learn from it is so much better.

“It’s not just about nitrogen and phosphorus, but all the micronutrients. If you can be more consistent with that zero to six (inch) core it’s going to help a lot with your interpretation for your seedplaced micronutrients as well.”

Home gardeners could hold key to potato crop quality Home gardens can be a source of infection for the fungal disease that kills potatoes and tomatoes

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

M

anitoba gardeners need to scout for late blight in their tomatoes and potatoes, not just to protect themselves but the province’s 64,500 acres of commercial potato production.

Late blight was detected July 16 in a potato field near Carberry. Manitoba Agriculture plant pathologist Vikram Bisht said in an Aug. 10 interview more than 15 fields have been found, most near Carberry, but also near Sydney, Melbourne and Glendora. The most recent cases are near Carman and Winkler, and on tomatoes east of Portage and east of PTH 75.

“The message to home gardeners is if you... are seeing the (late blight) infection and have not sprayed fungicide the plants will go down and die very quickly,” Bisht said. “The fruit will also get infected and it will appear with brown spots.

They don’t store very well. If your leaves have infection harvest as many of the fruits as you can then destroy the plants. Put them in black garbage bags and keep them in the sun. After two to three days they should get cooked very well and that will destroy the disease. If you throw the plants in the compost pile the plants will not dry quickly enough and will continue to sporulate. Those spores will be a risk to commercial potato producers of Manitoba.”

Manitoba gardeners need to be watching for late blight in their tomatoes and potatoes. These tomatoes have late blight and should be destroyed to protect Manitoba’s 64,500 acres of commercial potatoes.

Late blight symptoms are similar on tomatoes and potatoes. Manitoba Agriculture’s website says to look for small, light- to dark-green, circular to irregular-shaped, water-soaked spots.

“During cool, moist weather, these lesions expand rapidly into large, dark-brown or black lesions, often appearing greasy,” the site says. “The lesions are not limited by leaf veins and as new infections occur and existing infections coalesce, entire leaves can become blighted and die within a few days. The lesions may expand down petioles and stems of the plant.”

The late blight strain found in Manitoba is US23, which is very aggressive in tomatoes and potatoes, Bisht said. He suspects the fungal disease spread in high winds during recent thunderstorms.

Although more than 15 cases of the disease have been found, in some cases only a few potato plants were infected, Bisht said.

The infected plants have been destroyed.

“The growers are trying to keep on top of it with a five- to seven-day (fungicide) spray schedule,” he said. “Commercial potato growers currently appear to be managing.

Infected volunteer potatoes could be a disease source and should be destroyed. Volunteer tomatoes come from seed, which doesn’t harbour the disease.

Late blight was found in Manitoba last year but not until September 11.

So long as the crop is growing it is susceptible to late blight infection.

Potatoes infected with late blight can rot in storage. Late blight doesn’t rot potatoes, but the damage it causes allows other infections that cause rot to develop.

Treating potatoes with phosphorus acid (Phostrol, Rampart and Confine) as they go into storage can protect them from rot.

Although some fields have suffered due to excess moisture and others have been damaged by hail, most were doing well as of Aug. 12, said Keystone Potato Growers Association manager Dan Sawatzky. allan@fbcpublishing.com

“It would be good to see some dry weather because every three or four days we have rain events and that is creating trouble. The commercial potato growers are at risk basically if the home gardeners do not do a good job (controlling late blight).”

Commercial growers can control late blight with fungicides that contain chlorothalolil or mancozeb.

Home gardeners can spray copper sulphate.

Garden tomatoes and potatoes are also more susceptible to late blight if plants remain damp, which can occur when plants are thick, preventing air circulation. As a result weedy gardens are more at risk, Bisht said.

Bisht also recommends gardeners buy late blight-resistant tomatoes.

Gardeners should buy new certified seed potatoes next spring and plant healthy-looking tomatoes.

CROP REPORT

Harvest operations are picking up steam Manitoba Agriculture Crop Report, issued August 15, 2016 Southwest Region Rainfall amounts varied again with some large storms in the middle of the week in the north around Rossburn, Russell and Angusville.

Winter wheat and fall rye harvest continues with reports of average yields and good quality. Producers are also harvesting peas, with average to below-average yields and quality. Several producers have started pre-harvest spraying of cereal crops. Some early-seeded cereal acres, mainly barley, have been harvested with average to above-average yields.

Sw a t h i n g o f c a n o l a h a s started with disease being a major issue in deciding when to cut. Soybeans are progressing and are in the R5 to R6 stage. Symptoms of sclerotinia are starting to appear in some sunflowers.

Corn is growing rapidly and some fields have advanced to milk stage. Soybeans continue to flower and pod. Bacterial blight is evident in many fields, and both phytophthera and white mould are showing up.

Edible beans are podded and the most advanced fields have some colour change.

Many pea fields have dried down. In most flax fields colour change is evident. Sunflowers are flowering and in the R4 to R5.5 stage, and some lodging and snapped stems are present.

Eastern Region The weather last week saw less rainfall. Southern districts received up to 15 mm of rain with most occurring early in the week. Central and northern districts experienced minimal precipitation. Overal improved drying conditions allowed for

greater field access with producers continuing with pre-harvest applications, harvesting, and haying.

Crop development in warmseason crops continued to accelerate given the seasonal to warm temperatures. Soil moisture conditions are considered ample to support continued development in warm-season crops.

Winter wheat harvest is almost complete with reported yields ranging from 60 to 95 bu./acre. Protein levels are often at 11 per cent or higher. Fusarium-damaged kernel levels are lower than expected based on pre-harvest field observations. Majority of spring cereals is mature with the remainder of the crop quickly moving from late hard dough to maturity. Harvesting of spring wheat is five per

c e n t c o m p l e t e. Ca n o l a i s mostly mature with pre-harvest applications about 60 per cent complete and swathing about 25 per cent complete.

Field peas are mature and harvest has started. The soybean crop ranges from the R5 (beginning seed fill) or R6 (full seed) stages. The frequency of reports of soybeans displaying potassium-deficiency symptoms, phytophthora wilt and sclerotinia increased last week.

Sunflowers are mostly at the R6 stage with the remainder of the crop at late R5. Corn is mostly at the R3 with the remainder of the crop at the R2 stage.

Interlake Region Warm temperatures with scattered thunderstorms were once again the weather pattern last week. Near Fisher Branch, producers received anywhere from

60 to 100 mm of rainfall in a short period. North of Arborg, producers received 35 to 45 mm, along with hail.

Winter wheat har vest is nearly complete in the south Interlake but is still ongoing in north Interlake. Yields range from 60 to 80 bu./acre with minimal levels of fusariumdamaged kernels. Spring cereal harvest has started with barley, wheat, and oats acres being combined. Canola development varies from 10 days since swather to just finishing flowering. Soybean crops are at the R5 stage, and sunflowers are in the mid-flowering stage. Some insecticides are being applied on alfalfa seed fields for lygus control. Pea fields in the region are being harvested with yields of 40 to 50 bu./acre. Flax fields are starting to dry down as the crops start to turn colour.

Northwest Region There was unsettled weather over the week, with intermittent showers and poor drying conditions and variable rainfall.

Fall rye, perennial ryegrass and winter wheat harvest continuing in the Dauphin and Roblin areas. Some barley has been harvested in the Ste. Rose area. Spring wheat is maturing and throughout the region with reports of some fields receiving pre-harvest herbicide application. Canola continues to develop with 100 per cent of the canola fields podding and some swathed in the Dauphin and Swan River areas. Field peas are also advancing, some fields are being desiccated and a small number of acres were harvested in the Swan River area.

Soybeans are at R3 stage.

Some crop lodging is evident and crop damage due to excessive moisture in lower areas in fields. Aster yellows is present at low levels in canola in the Roblin and Swan Valley areas.

Some oat blast in the Roblin area has been reported and fusarium head blight is present in spring wheat throughout the region. White mould and powdery mildew is reported in some pea fields, as well as sclerotinia in canola where fungicide was not applied.

COMPETITION + GLYPHOSATE DAY 21: re-growth occurs

EXPRESS + GLYPHOSATE DAY 21: complete burn ®

Central Region Warm temperatures throughout the week allowed for continued rapid crop growth. Unsettled weather remains, and the majority of the region saw some rain or thundershowers with amounts ranging from five to 25 mm. High humidity continues to limit drying conditions.

Fall rye and winter wheat harvest is nearly complete. Yields of winter wheat range from 65 to over 100 bu./acre. Protein is in the 11 to 11.5 per cent range.

Early yield reports for fall rye are from 75 to 95 bu./acre.

Spring cereals are maturing and pre-harvest applications continue. Spring wheat yields range from 40 to 60 bu./acre to date, and barley yields are in the 70 to 85 bu./acre range.

Oats are being swathed with some acres harvested.

The later-seeded canola is podded while early-seeded canola is seeing good seed colour change. Swathing continues.

Last week's answer

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

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

Low-tech, co-operative approaches support smallholder farmers A simple plastic sheet may not look like much, but it can change lives and communities

BY STEFAN EPP-KOOP Co-operator contributor

O

ver 70 per cent of hungry people in the world today are smallholder farmers. Those producing food are, ironically, the most likely to go without.

This summer I visited Kenya with Canadian Foodgrains Bank to explore what can be done to address hunger and support the smallholder farmers (farmers with less than 10 acres of land) who make up the vast majority of food producers in Kenya.

If we are to achieve a world without hunger, solutions will need to meet the challenges faced by these farmers. While innovations in agricultural science and technology are undoubtedly important — we had a chance to visit world-class agricultural research facilities in Kenya — I was frequently amazed by the power of simple solutions, using basic technology and community co-operation, that helped people produce more food.

Irrigation Lillian Wambui is a 50-year-old farmer who we met near Naivasha, a two-hour drive northwest of Nairobi. For the past 23 years she had grown maize and beans on her four-acre farm. But harvests were becoming irregular due to changing rains. Her maize was also affected by maize lethal necrosis disease, which led to regular crop failures. As a result, by 2009 Lillian’s farm was unable to sustain her family and she began receiving food aid.

Change for Lillian came in the form of a sheet of plastic and a local farmer group.

The plastic was used to line a pond that she dug to collect and store rainwater for irrigation. She uses a manual pump to pull water from the pond to use on her fields. Fruit trees and vegetables could now thrive where they had not before.

Together with other local farmers she was also trained to grow new crops such as sweet potatoes, pigeon peas, and cassava and establish fruit tree nurseries.

When you visit Lillian’s farm now, it is hard to imagine the years when her crops failed. The farm is lush and green, with passion fruit, bananas, and papaya growing abundantly. Young kale plants surround Lillian’s irrigation pond and a field of pigeon peas, a highly profitable crop, was nearly ready for harvest. Lillian now earns roughly $30 per week selling produce at the local market and her family has a nutritious diet. The farm also supports the school fees for her six children and there is enough money to make further upgrades to the farm. All this because of a sheet of plastic.

Storage bags Just down the road, a different sheet of plastic was solving another major challenge: how to ensure that maize does not spoil after harvest. In Kenya, weevils often get into maize while it is stored, leaving it inedible. As a result, smallholder farmers often lose the maize they were saving for their family’s consumption. Many farmers have to sell their maize immediately after harvest. This creates a glut on the market and lowers prices. Waiting even a few months can nearly double the price that farmers receive for their maize.

AgResults has mobilized the private sector to solve this challenge by providing a prize to the companies that can sell the most maize storage bags to smallholder farmers. These heavy-duty plastic bags are air tight, prevent pest infestations, are

affordable and easy to use. For the equivalent of $2.50, farmers can buy a bag that will last for three years and store 90 kg of maize, an affordable storage solution even for farmers with very limited resources.

One of the farmers who had bought a bag was Lucia Waringa Kamau. Lucia fled Kenya’s post-election violence in 2008 and now rents half an acre of land near Nakuru. This year she purchased a bag and was amazed at the results. While her neighbour’s maize turned into flourlike dust from weevil infestation within a few months, Lucia proudly showed us her maize that had been perfectly preserved for almost a year. For Lucia, this has meant being able to feed her family.

It also means that any maize she decides to sell will now fetch a much higher price.

For someone with only half an acre of land, the ability to store what she harvested makes a big difference.

Working together High on a hillside in a semi-arid region southeast of Nairobi, the Watema Fruit Growers has brought together 52 farmers to improve community resilience and farm livelihoods. As its name suggests, it began

with fruit, organizing a mango nursery to grow and sell mangos.

Since there is little rainfall in the area, the group has since worked on creating furrows and ridges to capture rainwater. As one group member said, “before we were not getting food because of land preparation. The water was just flowing away.”

They have also developed a shared field school where they are learning together about new crops to diversify production and more recently began working together on a plan to raise and market chickens.

The solutions – new crops, fruit trees and basic water preservation – were simple, but have made a marked difference in the community.

Creating change These solutions have had a profound impact on farmers and the communities in which they live: decreasing hunger, increasing income, sending kids to school, building a spirit of co-operation, and giving people a sense of pride.

Importantly, all these solutions are easily accessible to smallholder farmers. They are cost effective and create long-term change. These low-tech solutions are not

reliant on ongoing support or specialized technical knowledge, allowing them to continue beyond the lifespan of funded projects.

Canada can play a key role in this story.

Historically, our government has been a strong supporter of agricultural development around the world. However, the Canadian government’s support for agriculture has declined significantly since 2011. Canadian Foodgrains Bank’s Good Soil campaign is encouraging the Canadian government to reinvest in agriculture to achieve sustainable solutions that end hunger and improve livelihoods for farmers.

Wendy’s aims for antibioticfree chicken by next year The burger chain also plans to set new beef and pork goals STAFF

U

Wendy’s said it will commit next year to “specific goals” for reducing or eliminating use of medically important antibiotics in its beef and pork supplies. photo: dave bedard

.S. fast-food chain Wendy’s aims to source all of its chicken products from birds raised without the use of antibiotics “important to human medicine” by 2017.

Columbus, Ohio-based Wendy’s, the world’s No. 3 burger chain behind McDonald’s and Burger King, said in a blog post Aug. 3 about 50 per cent of its chicken supply already comes from such sources, and it will aim for 100 per cent “by next year.”

Also in 2017, the company said Aug. 3, it will “commit to specific goals for reducing or eliminating medically important antibiotics in our pork and beef supply.”

Eliminating the use of medically important antibiotics in cattle and hogs “is harder to do without compromising animal welfare,” the company said.

“Because these animals live longer than chickens, they’re more likely to need antibiotics at some point in their lives.”

But the company said it is “actively working with our suppliers, the academic community and industry experts to find antibiotic alternatives,” citing examples such as probiotics, vaccines and feed supplements to either treat infections or reduce the risk of such infections.

In its blog, authored by Wendy’s chief communications officer Liliana Esposito, the company acknowledged some people “may not like this approach.”

Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture Competition

Some consumers, the company said, “may prefer that we just pick a date in the future and announce a goal to eliminate all medically important antibiotics by that time, even if we don’t know exactly how we’re going to accomplish that.”

The company noted it recently published a new “ReplaceReduce-Refine” policy statement on antibiotics in meat animals on its website, describing the protection of human health as its “absolute priority.”

Antibiotics, the company said, should only be used to treat a meat animal that “has or is at high risk of developing a medical problem.”

‘Impractical’ Wendy’s suppliers, the chain said, are already “prohibited from using antibiotics that are important to human health to make their animals grow,” a practice which involves subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics, often in feed, to stimulate muscle growth.

Scientists in recent years have warned against such uses of antibiotics in animals, out of concern that pathogens could develop resistance to antibiotics and put human and animal health at risk.

“Withholding treatment from a sick animal is cruel and we won’t advocate for it just because it makes a good headline.”

Liliana Esposito

Join the young Canadians who are speaking up for agriculture.

A new U.S. federal standard barring such uses of antibiotics is due out later this year, Wendy’s added.

But the company also stressed that removing antibiotics immediately from all food production, “or trying to do so in the near future, is not only impractical but also inhumane,” the company added. “Withholding treatment from a sick animal is cruel and we won’t advocate for it just because it makes a good headline.”

The U.S. regulatory structure on withdrawal times following antibiotic use is “very specific,” the company added. “If an animal is treated with antibiotics, it cannot enter the food supply unless the antibiotics have completely worked through its system.”

Wendy’s rival McDonald’s, which previously said it would stop buying chicken raised using medically important antibiotics from its suppliers by March 2017, said Aug. 1 it had completed that transition ahead of schedule thanks to help with verification from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Olymel to consolidate Quebec ham work Ham lines will move into the company’s hog slaughter plants next fall STAFF

T

he meat-packing arm of Quebec’s La Coop federee plans to shut down major ham lines at one of its furtherprocessing plants in the province next year, cutting up to 340 jobs.

Olymel said Aug. 5 it will halt ham deboning at i t s St - Hy a c i n t h e p l a n t i n September 2017, eliminating 340 positions.

Ham deboning work, until now the St-Hyacinthe plant’s d e s i g n a t e d s p e c i a l t y, w i l l instead be done at plants with both slaughtering and butchering operations, Olymel said.

That move, the company said, will “improv(e) operational efficiency and reduce costs considerably, in terms of both fixed costs and shipping.”

Olymel’s Quebec hog slaughter and butchering plants — at St-Esprit, Yamachiche and Vallee-Jonction — are “now geographically closer to the further-processing plants they supply with raw materials,” the company said.

The St-Hyacinthe plant will remain open, but with about 70 staff handling frozen product storage operations and a rendering line for lard production.

Olymel said Aug. 5 it’s also “studying various options to find a new vocation for the plant, which would enable it to fulfil other needs for the company.”

Olymel in June announced expansion work at its St-Esprit hog plant, which it said at the time would begin to handle greater output of “value-added” products and chilled pork.

The company in June also announced a Quebec City-area sausage plant at St-Henri-deLevis would be repurposed for ham processing, after Olymel bought Trois-Rivieres sausage maker La Fernandiere and said it would move its sausage lines to that company’s plant.

The cut at St-Hyacinthe was “a difficult decision, but a necessary one if we are to achieve the conditions of efficiency and profitability that will enable us to maintain the bulk of other jobs across all our operations, and even create new ones,” Olymel CEO Rejean Nadeau said Aug. 5 in a release.

The job cuts, he said, were “deemed necessar y after a thorough analysis of processing costs with a view to making all our operations more efficient.”

Olymel’s St-Hyacinthe plant saw a work stoppage in 2009, with unionized workers reportedly protesting a proposed wage freeze following a major pay cut in 2005, when the plant was said to be under threat of closure.

“I have requested that everything be done to facilitate the transition for employees assigned to another position, or their relocation to another Olymel facility,” Nadeau said Aug. 5.

ack Marsden Parker began his working career in 1938 working for the Dominion of Canada Department of Agriculture where he served under Dr. Ellis as part of the team that completed the Soil Survey of Manitoba. After serving overseas in the Second World War, he was hired in 1946 as the province’s first soils specialist with Manitoba Agriculture. He travelled the province identifying soil-related issues and designing on-farm programs to solve them.

In 1954, the minister of agriculture established the Soils and Crops Branch and commissioned Jack to direct and supervise soils, crops, forage horticulture, and weed control services being delivered in Manitoba. Jack took it upon himself to organize “Save the Soils” clubs, and he engaged farmers in a variety of demonstrations including crop rotation, permanent grass cover,

tree cover, and field shelterbelt programs. As a result, hundreds of miles of field shelterbelts and thousands of acres of fragile and erosion-prone soils were planted with grass and trees. Under Jack’s direction, conservation activities combined with the need for improved municipal water management evolved into the establishment of the first two conservation districts — Turtle Mountain and Whitemud.

Today, the conservation district program encompasses most of rural Manitoba.

Jack played an important role in establishing potato and canola industries in Manitoba.

His representation and interest in both industries resulted in significant increases in production as well as the establishment of processing plants for both crops.

Throughout his career, Jack served on the board of directors of the Canadian Seed

Growers Association and was granted a National Honorary Life Membership for his contributions. He was a member of the Agriculture Institute of Canada, the Manitoba Institute of Agrologists, the Manitoba Horticulture Society and the Manitoba Society of Soil Science.

Shortly before Jack served in the Second World War as an artillery officer during the Allied invasion of Europe, he married Kathleen Wesson. They had four children: Kathleen, Mary, John and Nancy. After the war ended, Jack toured throughout Germany and the Netherlands, participating in a report on the state of farmland in the aftermath of the war as well as completing a course on Danish agriculture and co-operatives in Helsingore, Denmark in 1945.

Throughout his life Jack was very involved with his commu-

When Manitoba set the standard for tractors

A forgotten Manitoba competition tested early tractors for prospective buyers

BY ALEX CAMPBELL Manitoba Agricultural Museum

L

ittle known today, either in Manitoba or outside the province, the Winnipeg Light Agricultural Motor Contests were on the cutting edge of the new technology of the tractor.

In fact, the tractor was so new in 1908 that the word tractor had not even been invented. The Winnipeg contests were the first effort to scientifically quantify factors, such as horsepower, fuel economy, ease of handling and other factors which were important to tractor operators. The contests used newly invented devices such as the drawbar dynamometer and the de Prony brake, a belt-driven dynamometer, to achieve accurate measurements.

In 1908, people had barely begun to grasp the technology of the internal combustion engine and its possible uses.

Agricultural motors, as tractors were more commonly known as in 1908, were very complicated contraptions holding promise — but of what?

It is thought that less than 1,000 internal combustion tractors in total had been sold by 1908 worldwide, so tractors were still largely experimental at this time. While these early tractors were large, heavy and crude, they did contain delicate ignition, carburetor and oiling systems which needed precise adjustment for decent performance. Experts on these technologies were few and far between.

But whatever the drawbacks of tractors, there were people who believed in the future of tractors in agriculture or “power” farming. Two adherents were E.W. Hamilton, editor of the Canadian Thresherman and Farmer magazine and A. Burness Grieg, a machinery salesman, agricultural writer and a sessional lecturer at the Manitoba Agricultural College.

In 1907, Grieg and Hamilton came to the conclusion that a contest would be a useful tool to promote the new technology of the tractor.

It appears that Grieg originated the idea, as he was aware of the use of competitions in Britain to promote agricultural machiner y. Hamilton and Grieg managed to persuade the Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition to host the event and the two men organized the “Light Agricultural Motor Co m p e t i t i o n” a t t h e 1 9 0 8 Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition.

The revolutionary aspect of this competition was the scien-

tific measurement of the performance of the tractors as the tractor did real-life tasks such as plowing and hauling. Other important aspects of tractors such as quality of construction were also quantified in the competition. Points were assigned to each of the performance parameters assessed.

E a c h t ra c t o r w a s t o b e scored on these categories and Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals would be awarded to the tractors scoring first, second and third. Hamilton and Grieg secured experts in motive power to act as judges for the competition.

Seven tractors were entered in 1908, three from the International Harvester Company (IHC), one from the Transit Thresher Company (later became the Gas Traction Company) and one from K i n n a rd - Ha i n e s Co m p a n y (builder of the Flour City tractor line). English manufacturers were well represented, with a tractor entered from Marshall and Sons Company and a tractor from H.P. Sanderson and Company.

The 1908 event proved to be a great success. Results of the competition were carried in Canadian and American farm papers, plus distributed abroad. Farmers in large

numbers, as well as machinery company personnel from North America and abroad, came to Winnipeg to attend the event. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) even sent an observer to the competition.

The companies whose products had won medals in the competition immediately trumpeted their success in the farm newspapers by taking out advertisements. The KinnardHaines Company, winner of the 1908 Gold Medal, took out fullpage ads in various farm newspapers discussing the advantages of its tractor and making prominent mention of the tractor’s fuel economy as measured in the 1908 competition. Even Cockshutt, the maker of the plows used exclusively in the 1908 competition, advertised proudly its involvement in the competition.

With the success of the 1908 competition it was assured that the event would be repeated in the years ahead. The event was refined with further performance measurements being taken and steam engines were allowed their own classes in the trials.

However, by 1912 problems were apparent, such as the costs of the trials for tractor companies, the financial insta-

bility of the Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition, the lack in the Winnipeg area of virgin prairie sod fields for the plowing trials and the emerging use of field days by individual tractor companies, where farmers could actually operate the tractors plus avoid awkward questions the trials sometimes raised about a tractor’s performance.

A significant problem was that the trials were really a technical event being operated at an entertainment event, which is what the Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition really was.

Only three companies chose to participate in the 1913 trials, Sawyer Massey, J.I. Case and the Avery Company. These companies entered a variety of steam engines and gas tractors in the various classes of the trials. With such a low turnout of companies, 1913 was the last year for the trials.

However, the Winnipeg trials generated two important results. The trials served as a “hothouse” for tractor designers and manufacturers as they could see various tractors in action, doing the same work and being accurately measured while they did it. The manufacturers learned what worked and, perhaps more importantly, learned what ideas did not work. An official with the Avery

company reportedly admitted that the company learned a great deal about tractors by participating in the trials.

The Winnipeg trials also served as the pattern for the Nebraska Tractor Tests which are the yardstick tractors are measured by, from 1920 to this date.

The originator of the Nebraska tests had been slickered by a tractor salesman into buying a poor tractor and, being aware of the Winnipeg event, determined that scientific tests would aid farmers in buying tractors that actually performed as advertised. He talked the state of Nebraska into conducting such tests.

Recently the Manitoba Agricultural Museum completed a digital documentary of the Winnipeg Light Agricultural Mo t o r Co m p e t i t i o n s. T h e museum obtained digital copies of a number of high-quality glass plate negative photos of the trials from the archives at the University of Saskatchewan.

The museum also scanned a number of photos of the event from various papers, primarily the Canadian Thresherman and Farmer. The museum researched the event in order to write the narration to the photos in the video. Currently the video is being distributed to various community TV channels.

Prairie fare Be inspired by zucchini

BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON Food and nutrition specialist NDSU Extension Service

I

remember bringing home a zucchini in my purse. Someone had handed it to me at a gathering, and my purse became a makeshift grocery bag.

When I pulled the zucchini out of my purse, my daughter, who was preschool age at the time, looked at me in amazement. I think she wondered if I had a magic purse that grew long-necked, shiny green things.

After I set it on the countertop, she studied it and sniffed it. Then she helped me wash and grate it. Finally, she helped me transform it into some zucchini bread.

If you have a mass-producing zucchini plant, did you miss an opportunity? Aug. 8 was “National Sneak Some Zucchini Into Your Neighbour’s Porch Day.” If so, perhaps you can choose your own day to continue the recognition and distribution process.

Few foods are associated with as many good-natured jokes as zucchini. Zucchini plants are very easy to grow and, most of the time, produce an abundance of green fruit.

Yes, we consider zucchini vegetables on the menu, but technically, a zucchini is the fruit of the plant. Zucchini is a type of summer squash and also is known by other names.

The name “zucchini” comes from the Italian word for squash.

A botanist might call it by its scientific name, “Cucurbita pepo.” If you want to disguise the contents of your casserole, try renaming the dish. In France, zucchini is called “courgette.” In England and Ireland, zucchini is called “marrow.”

Would you like a slice of “marrow bread?”

Those alternate names make “zucchini” sound more appetizing, don’t they?

You need to keep an eye on zucchini in your garden or they will grow large. In fact, if you stood the largest zucchini on record on its end, it would have been more than five feet, nine inches tall. This record setter was a skinny fruit, though, at 65 pounds.

For best quality, select zucchini that are small to medium in size. Zucchini should have shiny skin and be free of bruises. The bruised areas are more likely to spoil rap-

idly. Try to use refrigerated zucchini within a week.

Nutrition-wise, zucchini is fairly high in vitamin C, provides fibre and is low in calories. To get more fibre, eat the skin.

Zucchini has inspired cooks to create recipes that range from traditional to the slightly unusual as they chop, grate and slice zucchini. Most of us have tasted zucchini muffins, cake, casseroles or salads. How about zucchini fritters or zucchini curry?

You might want to try to use zucchini as a “vessel” to fill with a favourite casserole, and after cooking, slice your zucchini boat into servings. Or try one of the more recent kitchen tools that allow you to make skinny zucchini noodles called “zoodles.”

Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes 3/4 c. brown sugar 1/4 c. canola oil 2 eggs 1-1/4 c. non-fat or low-fat milk 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 c. whole wheat flour 1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder 4 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 c. zucchini, puréed 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips Frosting of your choice, optional

Personally, I like to sauté sliced zucchini with onion and add some salsa from a jar to the consistency I like. I have a quick side dish without a real recipe.

If you enjoy surfing the web, a simple search for “zucchini recipes” will provide you with hundreds of ideas. Visit https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/food, click on “recipes” and search our database for zucchini recipes, too.

In the meantime, here’s a chocolatey treat made with antioxidant-rich cocoa powder and fibre-rich whole wheat flour, plus a not-so-secret ingredient. Add a thin layer of frosting if you’d like or simply dust with powdered sugar to keep the calorie count moderate.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Place cupcake cups in muffin tin and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk sugar, oil, eggs, milk and vanilla. In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.

Fold this mixture into liquid mixture. Then fold in zucchini and chocolate chips. Pour batter evenly throughout cupcake cups, each about half full.

Bake for about 30 minutes. To test readiness, poke one cupcake in the centre with a toothpick. If it comes out of the batter clean, the cupcakes should be ready. Let cool for 10 minutes on a cooling rack and top with your favourite frosting and sprinkles as desired. Serve within one to two days for freshness. Makes about 30 cupcakes.

Each cupcake has 110 calories, 4.5 grams (g) fat, 3 g protein, 18 g carbohydrate, 2 g fibre and 105 milligrams sodium.

“

S

o as I was saying...”

Roger Galbraith was in the middle of what appeared to be a long and detailed story as Andrew Jackson set his coffee cup down on the café table and seated himself next to Grant Toews and across from Bernie Brandt, who were well on the way to finishing their own first cups.

“As I was saying,” Roger repeated when the obligatory greetings had been made all around, “I’m at my computer at work, in the middle of an important project, when my phone rings. I look at the display and it’s my son Darren calling from home. Darren’s 19 years old,” he added, then paused to take a sip of coffee.

“So you answer it?” said Bernie, clearly engrossed in the unfolding tale.

Roger nodded. “I pause the cat video I’m watching and I answer the phone. ‘Dad,’ says Darren. ‘I need to talk to you.’ OK, I say. Is it an emergency? I cross my fingers. The kid thinks about that for a second and says, ‘yeah, yeah it is.’ Yesss! I think to myself, I get to go home early! As a parent, I’ve learned to look on the bright side.” Roger took another sip of coffee.

“There’s always a silver lining,” said Grant.

“When life gives you lemons,” said Andrew, “make the closest thing you can to a mojito, since life never gives you a lime.”

“Sure whatever,” said Roger. “Anyway, I finish watching the cat video and then I tell my boss I have to deal with an emergency at home and away I go.

“When I get home I head straight to Darren’s room, which I will confess, I haven’t been in for at least a couple of years. The first thing I notice when I step inside is the number of rats running around. Dude, I say. You have rats. No wonder you called me. ‘I didn’t call you about the rats Dad,’ says Darren. ‘I’ve had pet rats for three years.’

“You know,” I say, “when I was a kid the closest I ever got to a rat was when my brothers and I would sneak the truck in the middle of the night and go to the municipal dump.

When we got there we’d turn off the headlights and park in the middle. My brothers

The

would get in the back of the truck with their shotguns resting on the roof and then I’d turn on the headlights and there’d be 100 beadyeyed rodents staring straight at the lights. It was like shooting ducks in a barrel.”

“Shooting fish in a barrel is the saying, I think,” said Grant.

“Nobody shoots fish,” said Roger. “That would be crazy.”

“Why would you decide to tell your kid a story like that right when he’s trying to tell you something important?” said Andrew.

“Because as a parent,” said Roger, “I want to try to stretch this out long enough so I don’t have to go back to work.”

He set his coffee cup down and continued.

“So anyway, Darren finally says Dad, you know how I have serious social anxiety and I almost never leave my room and... here I interrupt him. If this is about your mother’s and my divorce, I say, we’ve been through that right? And we agreed, that was your own fault.”

The three listeners look at Roger askance.

“I know,” said Roger. “You want your kids to remember stuff on their own, but as a parent you have to keep reminding them. But anyway Roger says it’s not about that.

“I didn’t think so,” I say, “so go ahead sonny, I’m listening.”

“It takes a little while. The kid is having a hard time. But finally he blurts it out.”

Here Roger stopped to reach for the sugar and stir another teaspoonful into his coffee.

“Well? What did he say?” asked Grant.

Roger stopped stirring. “He said Dad, it’s because I’m gay.”

There was a short, somewhat awkward pause.

“Wow,” said Andrew. “And what did you say?”

“I said thank goodness,” said Roger.

“Your son told you he’s gay and you said thank goodness? Why?” asked Andrew.

Roger took a last sip of coffee and got up to go. “Because that’s what I’ve been telling people for the last two years,” he said as he walked away.

There was a long silence at the table.

“I can’t decide,” said Andrew.

“Can’t decide what?” asked Grant.

“Whether that man is the worst parent ever,” said Andrew, “or the best.”

There was another pause.

“I think he might be both,” said Grant.

“Amen,” said Bernie.

Growing nasturtiums There are many different categories so make sure you are getting the type you want The plants grow quickly — the reason they are usually grown from seed rather than bedding plants.

By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

A

t horticultural shows in August I always admire the nasturtium exhibits. Often the class calls for a “suitable container,” as nasturtium blooms do not look their best exhibited as “three blooms” or “five blooms.” Often an exhibit will include several blooms, some buds, as well as some foliage, all presented in a low bowl or other suitable container. The stems are rather weak and so the blooms and buds can be supported by the leaves to show to best advantage.

Nasturtiums are often grown from seed planted right into the ground in spring, but they are also sold as bedding plants in the spring at many garden centres. The plants grow quickly — the reason they are usually grown from seed rather than bedding plants. Either way, read the package or plant tag carefully as there are different categories.

There are dwarf nasturtiums, varieties suitable for use as edging plants or that can be planted toward the front of beds, climbing varieties that will need to be planted in front of a fence or trellis that affords support, and trailing varieties that are most suitable for use in hanging bas-

kets. All nasturtiums, however, have the same rounded leaves and brightly coloured blooms that are funnel shaped with a unique spur on the underside of each bloom. There are myriad bloom colours including vanilla, bright yellow, orange, fiery red, pink, and mahogany, and some newer varieties have two-toned blooms.

Nasturtiums produce a mass of foliage and the flowers poke out through the leaves like bright jewels. Most varieties have bright-green leaves but some are variegated that have marbled green and ivory foliage.

“Alaska” is a dwarf variegated variety, while “Jewels of Africa” is a variegated climbing type. Climbing nasturtiums need a bit of

training onto a support as they are not naturally as twining as some climbing plants.

Care must be taken when training them up a support system because the stems tend to be brittle and easily broken.

Trailing nasturtiums add both unique foliage and colourful bloom to a hanging basket or window box. “Alaska” adds a lot of interest to a hanging basket or a large container which is tall enough to allow the plants to cascade without reaching the ground. A wonderful wall of foliage and jewel-like flowers can be created at the back of a border with climbing nasturtiums, which can reach a height of 80 cm by season’s end.

Nasturtiums like rich soil; fertilize regularly if they are grown in soilless mix in a container. The plants soon deteriorate and do not look their best if they do not get enough water. They like consistently moist soil. Aphids like them but usually regular showers with the garden hose will deter these pests enough that their damage will be minimal. This is not the case with flea beetle attacks. They also love nasturtiums and in early spring and in late summer they are apt to attack nasturtiums in great numbers and ruin the plants within a day or two. The pests are easiest to control in the spring when the small plants can be covered with a protective covering. This is not as easily done in the fall when the plants have matured and resorting to chemical defences might be the only way to save the plants.

Some gardeners are willing to grow nasturtiums and enjoy them during the summer and then willingly give them up when flea beetles arrive in the fall — usually after the canola fields have been swathed — replacing them with something else that will keep the garden attractive until the growing season ends. Nasturtiums are such beautiful plants that many grow them in spite of having to battle insect attacks.

Reena answers more questions Plus, readers’ feedback and a tip

Hi Reena, I was wondering if you knew anything about using Dawn dish soap on front or back steps to keep ice from building up. We had problems last winter with ice buildup when it melted and I don’t know the portions to use. Could you please let me know if Dawn is used and how? It would certainly save me using ice melt products this winter which I’m not happy with. — Thank you, Charlotte

Hi Charlotte, Some love it, while others say it doesn’t work. I can tell you that the recommended proportions are to mix half-cup Dawn dish soap with half-gallon of warm water and pour it over your steps and sidewalk. Since Dawn dish soap has a high concentration of alcohol in it some people report that it does not freeze in minus temperatures. You can use plain old table salt as an alternative. Whatever you decide, test on an inconspicuous area first to avoid slipping.

Another interesting use for Dawn dish soap is to make your own ice pack. Fill a strong freezer bag halfway with Dawn Original dish soap (the blue kind, non-ultra). Double-bag for extra leak protection. These super-soft ice packs are great for all kinds of injuries. Note: Little ketchup packs kept in the freezer also work well as ice packs.

Hi Reena, I do hope you can help me. I was treating my arthritic hands in a paraffin wax bath and accidentally splashed some on one of my beige suede dining room chairs. I was able to scrape some of it off, but there is still a dark spot remaining. Do you have any solution to remove the stain? HELP! — Marlene

Hi Marlene, You want to be careful when cleaning the area not to scorch it. Place a single layer of brown paper on the wax area and move a warm iron over the paper.

Move the paper around to soak up all wax. Next, sprinkle baking soda onto the wax stain and brush the area with a damp stiff brush to restore the nap.

Readers’ feedback Hello Reena, I love all the household tips you give us. Now, with regards to smelly dish clothes, I would like to mention how simple it is to keep cloths clean. Boil them with a little soap and water on top of your stove for five minutes or less. Rinse, and if time permits, hang in the sun. Should a family member have a skin condition, boil their face cloth. If any wash item smells, wash with hot water and hang it outside. Thank you Reena and keep up the good work. Oh yes, I would like to mention that wonderful bar of “Sunlight soap,” from a long time ago; it cleans everything from shoes to socks. — With best regards, Astrid Dear Reena, Here is a suggestion for how to remove spider droppings from the siding on a house. I have found, through trial and error that GM Spray Cleaner sold

by General Motors dealers works very effectively. I spray it on, let sit for a few minutes, then wipe with a paper towel — works like a charm. Old deposits that have baked in the sun for a while need a little more effort. — Gil

This Old Elevator

I

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.

At one time, United Grain Growers had three elevators at Plumas, on the CNR Gladstone Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone. One of them dated from May 1926, replacing an earlier elevator from around 1912 that had been leased then purchased by UGG in August 1924. This elevator was destroyed by fire on December 28, 1974 and not rebuilt. A second UGG elevator, known as Elevator #1 (photo taken in 1962), was formerly owned by the Western Canada Flour Mills. Built in 1898, it was purchased by UGG agent J.F. Rogers and resold to the company in June 1940. The third UGG elevator, known as Elevator #2 (photo taken in 1981), was constructed in 1949. Renovated in 1976, an annex from Tenby was moved beside it in 1977. Photos: Agricore United Engineering Department, Tom Price (Mgr), provided by Glenn Dickson
