Another record for insured plantings of soybeans in Manitoba A prediction that soybeans could challenge canola for top spot doesn’t look so far fetched now

Bringing a community together for a cause In its eighth year, the Killarney Grow Project has seen tremendous community support for its Canadian Foodgrains Bank efforts

n 2013, grain market analyst Bruce Burnett predicted in five years Manitoba farmers would be planting just as many soybeans as canola. Back then just over a million acres of soybeans were planted, while canola acres were around three million acres, making it Manitoba’s highest-acreage crop. The intentionally provocative forecast was made to underscore how the combination of a warmer climate, improved soybean varieties and favourable returns can influence farmers’ planting decisions. But new soybean-planting records have been set every year since, including 2016, making Burnett’s prognostication less rhetorical and perhaps even possible.

Killarney charity project has resulted in a show of neighbourliness that will stretch around the globe. The occasion was the harvest of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) Killarney Grow Project, and it wound up being a display that impressed even the organizers. “It is amazing how the community came together. For the three swather operators to work until 10 p.m. to get their job done and then 20 combines to show up the following day, and have 200 people come to witness it, it was just overwhelming. We couldn’t do it without their support,” said Betty Turner, project board member and Killarney-area producer.

Fo r t h e p a s t e i g h t y e a r s t h e Killarney Grow Project has rented a piece of land, grown and harvested a crop all through volunteer labour and donation, and then donated the proceeds to the CFGB. “This will be year No. 8 that we have been involved in this and it kind of started off on my father’s land,” said Myron Peters, project field manager. “ We had a quarter section and he had retired from far ming and wanted to get this project up and running again. So, a small committee was formed. The first year we had maybe five combines out there and it has just grown every year.” This year, the CFGB Killarney Grow Project held its harvest event on Aug. 6 and saw a record number of participants. “This project is just a great way to

help people in need and bring the community together, because there are so many aspects of putting the crop in that different people can be involved in,” Peters said. At the event, 20 modern combines and one vintage 1957 model 35 Massey Harris, harvested 140 acres of Emerson winter wheat. With four grain carts and five semi trucks, the wheat quickly made its way to a neighbouring storage bin where it will rest until sale. “There were a ton of volunteers involved from start to finish. You could never do a project this size by yourself,” Turner said. “It was really fun and at the same time really moving.” The greater community of Killarney and area also played a See GROW PROJECT on page 7 »

U.S. study says kids are more vulnerable to food commercials — in fact their young brains “light up” after watching food commercials on TV. Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center say that’s a problem because kids also make quicker decisions to eat “tasty” food, leading to poor dietary decisions. “Our past work has shown that reward centres of the brain ‘light up’ in response to familiar food and nonfood logos,” said lead paper author Amanda Bruce. “What this study adds is that we now have evidence that children’s decisions are based more on taste (less on healthiness) after watching a food commercial.” Kids make decisions faster, and perhaps more impulsively, after seeing a food commercial, Bruce said. The researchers studied 23 children ages eight to 14 years who gave taste and health ratings for 60 food items. Afterwards, kids chose whether to “eat” or “not eat”

The scans measure changes in blood flow within the brain, which is thought to reflect the activity of brain cells. While the kids were making their decisions, they were per iodically shown TV commercials, some for fast-food outlets such as

Applebee’s or McDonald’s and some for non-food businesses such as Allstate Insurance and Comcast. Each set of commercials was followed by a set of 10 food choices. In general, kids did not choose foods based on their health ratings and chose based on taste. But after watching a food commercial, taste seemed even more important to them and they made their choices faster.

Manitoba’s soybeans progressing well Dennis Lange says by early September most fields will be mature enough to avoid yield loss from frost, although quality could be reduced Co-operator staff

“We have a saying in the dry bean business — ‘no mould, no gold.’ If you don’t have a little bit of a dense canopy you don’t have big yields either. Keep that in mind when you are out scouting as well.”

R1 — When the first flower is anywhere on the main stem. R2 — Flowers on the top two nodes. R3 — First pods starting to show on the first top four nodes.

BY ALLAN DAWSON

a n i t o b a’s s oy b e a n crop is looking good, Dennis Lange, Manitoba Agriculture’s industry development specialist for pulses, said Aug. 17, during the CropTalk Westman webinar. “From what I am seeing right now we will probably be somewhere around that 35- to 38-bushels-per-acre average,” Lange said. “They are looking pretty good. We’ve had good rains. The rains we’ve had lately, right after critical time for pod filling, there is potential for some very good yields this year.” Last year Manitoba soybeans averaged 38 bushels an acre just slightly below the 2013 record of 39. The five-year average yield is 35 bushels an acre. Most areas of Manitoba have been warmer than normal, which helps soybeans, he said. However, several diseases have been found in soybean fields. One is white mould, which is the same fungal disease sclerotinia that attacks canola. But it’s late enough in the season big yield losses are unlikely, Lange said. White mould symptoms include white mycelium in the lower part of soybean plants. “If you have 10 per cent infection in the field it can cost up to three to five bushels (an acre),” he said. “But when you think about it 10 per cent is a lot. In an acre if you have 140,000 plants that would be about 14,000 plants that would be infected. “Right now in the (Red River) valley we haven’t seen a lot of white mould yet. We have seen the odd field. Typically where we are going to see it is in areas of really dense canopies.” Given all the rain and high humidity and thick crops some white mould infection is expected, Lange said.

Soybean growth stages

R4 — Pods are threequarters of an inch long in the uppermost nodes of the plant counting down from the top. R5 — Flat pods on the top four nodes. Between R5 and R6 is when the plant reaches its maximum height and maximum number of nodes. The seeds at R5 are about an eighth of an inch long and fairly flat with a little bit of a bump in it. Hail damage at this stage can dramatically reduce yield. R6 — Full seed counting in the top four nodes. When the pod is split in half seed fills the entire pod cavity.

slightly reduced soybean plant population next year. Fungicides applied at the R1 to R2 stage will also help protect soybeans from infection. Some soybean fields are infected with septoria brown spot in the lower to mid-canopy, Lange said. “It’s not something that causes any economic damage, but when you are out there it gives you an idea of what level of disease you do have,” Lange said. “It may be something to watch for in the future.” Phytophthora root rot is also present in places. Look for a black discolouration at the base of soybean stems. Leaves on infected plants will wilt and

hang on to the plant, Lange said. Bacterial blight can infect soybeans. It’s usually in the mid- to upper canopy of soybean crops. This disease, which can’t be controlled with fungicides, usually follows crop damage caused by heavy wind or rain. Bacterial blight can be spread by travelling in infected fields when wet. Infected crops usually improve with the emergence of new growth. As of Aug. 17 most Manitoba soybean fields were in the R4 to R6 stage, Lange said. Crops at R6 stage have about 18 days to reach R7, Lange said. It takes another nine days from R7 to R8.

“Harvest is fast approaching,” he added. “Once we roll in September I think most of the (soy)beans will be safe from frost this year.” Frost at the R5 stage can cut soybean yields 50 to 70 per cent, Lange said. At R6 frost can reduce yields 20 to 30 per cent. Although there are many good soybean varieties available to Manitoba farmers, it’s important farmers select ones that fit the growing conditions, Lange said. “Most farmers are selecting varieties suited to their areas but one of these years there will be an early frost and (crop) damage,” he warned.

R7 — One normal pod has matured and turned brown and the leaves are starting to drop. Yield loss due to frost at this stage is minimal, but quality can be reduced. R8 — Full maturity is 95 per cent brown pod and the pods rattle when shaken and there are no leaves left. Crops at this stage are 10 to 14 days away from harvest. Seed Manitoba maturity ratings are based on days from seeding to 95 per cent brown pod.

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Prairie solitudes

hat is our country’s relationship with its indigenous citizens going to be in the coming

years? This is an important question and probably more important to you than many. First Nations communities are predominantly rural and frequently are your neighbours. But as a good friend Gord Gilmour of mine pointed out a while back, while Associate Editor following the coverage of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s report on residential schools, we’ve never wholeheartedly embraced this reality. On both sides there’s been a long-entrenched us-versusthem world view. Rather than seeing each other with respect, there’s always been deep suspicion. Just a few days ago this suspicion boiled over in a farmyard in Saskatchewan. None of us know exactly what happened there and it’s important to note the courts are now involved and will ultimately adjudicate. A farmer in his 50s has been charged with second-degree murder and Colten Boushie, a 22-year-old man from nearby Red Pheasant First Nation, is dead. The accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Here are the few facts we do have, mainly gleaned from RCMP releases. Boushie, a male cousin, their girlfriends and another male friend, had been swimming that day. During the journey home, their tire blew out and, running on the rim, then went to a nearby farmyard hoping to find help. While there, a verbal altercation broke out, a window of the crippled car was smashed and a shot was fired. Boushie, sitting in the rear seat with his girlfriend, was killed. Contrast this situation and the public reaction to another equally tragic situation a few years earlier. On June 20, 1999, a group of people unlawfully entered a farmyard near Trickle Creek, Alta., the home of a controversial figure known as Wiebo Ludwig. Ludwig was well known in the area for his long-running battle with the oil and gas industry, including allegations of sabotage. For local teenagers, entering the yard and driving erratically had apparently become an underground sport. On this particular evening, the vehicle veered dangerously close to a tent where some of Ludwig’s daughters were camping on the front lawn, and shots were fired. When the RCMP arrived they found 16-year-old Karman Willis dead and 19-year-old Shaun Westwater with a gunshot wound. The gun was never recovered and charges were never laid. What is interesting is the different way the local community perceived this situation. Despite the fact Willis and the others were clearly trespassing and there was a long-standing pattern of harassment, few it seemed ever doubted her status as a victim. As a newspaper article 10 years later said, “She should not have been out there, but she did not deserve to die for being out there.” I agree. Clearly the penalties for trespassing in Canada don’t include death by firing squad. Likewise, a young man didn’t deserve to die because he showed up in a farmer’s yard with a flat tire. Most of us never knew Colten Boushie. But truth be told, many of us have presumed he was guilty — of something — largely based on his heritage. Worst was the online reaction to this situation, a toxic hate brew of celebratory racism, as evidenced by the Facebook group “Saskatchewan Farmers.” Here the initial reaction was to unquestioningly laud the actions of the landowner, cast aspersions on the character of the dead and even suggest the shooter’s only sin was to leave any witnesses left to tell the tale. I have no doubt there are plenty of Saskatchewan farmers who aren’t members of this group and don’t share these views. In fact the National Farmers Union quickly issued a press release decrying the racism and expressing condolences to the Boushie family. That’s a good start and it would be good to see more farm groups add their voices to condemn this abhorrent behaviour. But what’s going to be even more important is what happens in the future. Indigenous Canadians are a quickly growing demographic, especially in rural Western Canada. Can we really afford to retreat back into functional apartheid, thinking nothing but the worst of each other? Or would we all be be better served by taking a newer and more inclusive approach? Indigenous people represent roughly 15 per cent of the population of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. They could be a vital and healthy part of our society. They could and should be our colleagues, employees and even employers. Frankly if we can’t find a way to be more inclusive and approach them as full partners, I find it hard to see how in the end we can still have a functional society. This is a pressing concern for all of us, indigenous and otherwise. Despite the way we may feel apart, we’re all in this together. These people are our neighbours — and I hope they might become our friends. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

U.S. economists don’t expect a commodity price climb soon BY J.P. GERVAIS Chief economist, FCC

attended the annual conference of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA), held recently in Boston. Conferences of this type are always tainted by the flavor du jour. Hence, no surprise that conversations were dominated by the current downturn in U.S. agriculture. I was left with a couple of key takeaway thoughts for Canadian agriculture. First, the next 12 months spell tighter margins across most sectors. For corn, demand is slightly growing, the potential for a record U.S. crop coupled with larger world production mean U.S. corn prices will trend lower than they are now. Meanwhile a large wheat supply means that a price rebound rests on future export demand strength. There are mixed opinions on whether this is likely to occur. For soybeans, anticipating South American production is difficult. Reforms at the end of 2015 in Argentina may reverse a long-term decline in seeded grain areas at the expense of soybeans. Meanwhile producers in Brazil face cash flow constraints that can limit their production potential. Hence, stocks are expected to tighten next year, supporting prices at very decent levels. Soybeans may be the only exception to tightening margins. For cattle, there are signs that U.S. herd expansion is slowing (e.g. higher heifer slaughters in June). Projections call for a four per cent growth in U.S. beef production, with an additional increase in 2017. The immediate future may be challenging for U.S. hog producers as projections call for break-even, or slightly worse, returns.

OUR HISTORY:

Dairy: Supply continues to grow in the U.S., with a potentially small increase in the price of milk coming in 2017. Skim milk powder prices are expected to remain low. Secondly, global food demand is growing. But so what? We know the story: Population growth and rising incomes (mostly in the developing world) mean agricultural output needs to grow to meet increasing food consumption. The most relevant issue for producers: What will the future trajectory of prices be? To answer this question, one must compare projections about the pace of growth in production versus demand. If demand grows faster, prices are bound to climb in order to trigger more resources (land, labour, etc.) into agricultural production. A study presented at the meeting argued that the pace of increase in crop productivity is where the uncertainty about future prices comes from. And the most likely scenario is that, despite global crop production projected to nearly double over the next 50 years, prices are roughly going to be equal in 2050 to what they are now (after adjusting for inflation). A similar story can be described for livestock prices, with the caveat that there is even more uncertainty with regards to long-term prices.

So what does this mean? In the long run, it looks hazardous to build long-term business plans on the notion that agricultural prices will climb. The level where prices are now is probably a reasonable reference point to project future pricing trends. In the short term, the lower Canadian dollar will continue to buffer some of the lower price pressures recorded in the U.S., supporting margins of Canadian producers.

August 2014

eather in recent years may have some farmers thinking almost fondly of the 1980s, which were even drier than the 1930s. This was our weather page from just two years ago in the August 28, 2014 issue. Daniel Bezte wrote about yet another unusually strong area of low pressure which had brought more rain. The Prairie weather map showed some areas with 200 mm of rain or more over the past two months, and a satellite image of the previous weekend’s storm looked more like a strong winter low than typical summer weather. We reported on feed shortages due to the persistent flooding in western Manitoba, and the headline for the weekly crop report was ‘Heavy rains bring harvest to a halt.’ Every region of the province reported excess rainfall, with amounts up to 125 mm for the week. Heavy rain had continued from the start of the season — we reported that MASC had paid almost $63 million in extra moisture insurance on almost 2,400 claims on 985,000 acres that were too wet to seed that spring. That still didn’t match the record 2.9 million acres which were too wet to seed in 2011, triggering $162 million in payments on 5,800 claims under the EMI program. MASC also reported on the most popular varieties seeded in 2014. It included Carberry red spring wheat, 5440 Invigor canola, 24-10RY soybeans, Conlon barley, Souris oats and CDC Bethune flax.

Mixed bag for long weekend Issued: Monday, August 25, 2014 · Covering: August 27 – September 3, 2014 Daniel Bezte Co-operator contributor

hings definitely got interesting last weekend as we saw yet another unusually strong area of low pressure affect our region. The low moved a little slower than first forecast and it also tracked a little farther west, but all in all it made for a fairly wet weekend. This forecast period begins with a ridge of high pressure building across the region. The weather models aren’t in total agreement as to how strong this ridge will be; lately they’ve trended toward a weaker ridge. Even with a weak ridge we should still see plenty of sunshine along with slowly warming temperatures. Daytime highs on Wednesday should be in the low 20s, with the high warming by a couple of degrees for Thursday and Friday. To start the long weekend the weather models show a cool arctic high sliding by beginning late on Friday. This will bring cooler air into our region for Saturday. At the same time, an area of low pressure is forecast to develop to our west and begin tracking across the central Prairies on Sunday. This

means we’ll likely see increasing clouds Saturday with showers and thundershowers moving in on Sunday. The best chances for rain Sunday look to be over central regions. High temperatures under the cloud cover will struggle to reach the 20 C mark. This low will begin pulling off to the northeast Monday, leaving us in a cool, unsettled northerly flow. As a result, Monday will end up feeling fairly fall-like, with a mix of sun and clouds and the high only reaching the upper teens. Looking further ahead the weather models show a ridge of high pressure slowly rebuilding to our west and a trough of low pressure deepening to our east. This will place us in a predominantly northwesterly flow for most of next week and should result in partly cloudy skies most days, with temperatures running closer to the bottom end of the usual temperature range for this time of the year. Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 17 to 28 C; lows, 6 to 13 C. Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W.

Southern and northern parts of Alberta have been fairly dry, with large areas seeing fewer than 50 mm of rain during this period. Northern and eastern parts of agricultural Saskatchewan and western Manitoba were fairly wet during this period, with a number of locations reporting 200 mm or more.

A break in the weather pattern before fall? Last Sunday’s storm system looked very much like a strong winter low By Daniel Bezte

summer upper lows are not that unusual; what has been unusual this year has been both the number and the intensity of these lows.

CO-OPERATOR CONTRIBUTOR

don’t know about you, but I’ve pretty much had it up to you know where when it comes to upper-level lows! Yes, the Canadian Prairies have once again been hit by an upper-level low. Oh, don’t get me wrong; as you’ve already heard from me this year, we are not unfamiliar with upper-level lows during the summer. The only thing is, we typically see just one or two of them, not five or six! If we had to put a defining point or influence on this summer’s weather across the Prairies, it would have to be the upper-level low. Since last June we’ve seen at least six large upper-level lows affect all or parts of the Prairies. I know I’ve already talked about this over the last couple of months, but I felt after this last system that we needed to revisit this, if only to understand them a little better. As I pointed out earlier this year, upper-level lows are not that unusual. What’s unusual are the size and strength of the systems that have been affecting us so far this summer. The latest moved out of the U.S. Midwest last weekend and brought showers, rain and thunderstorms to a large part of the southern Prairies.

Was this image from last winter or late last Sunday?

To see just how large this latest storm system was, I’ve included a satellite image of the storm as it gathered strength late last Sunday. You can see just how large it was, extending from southwestern Alberta all the way to northwestern Ontario. The low got wound up around the Montana-North Dakota border

region, then ejected northeastward during the first part of this week. If someone was to show me this image with no date on it, I would probably say it was from the winter rather than the late summer, as it looks very much like a strong winter low. As I’ve pointed out a couple of times over the last few months,

Heavy rainfalls Take the last low as an example. This low, at its greatest extent, stretched from southeastern Alberta all the way to northwestern Ontario. Areas to the east of the low saw warm, moist air move in, bringing scattered heavy rainfalls and warm temperatures. Farther west, on the back side of the upper low, northerly winds brought the first taste of autumn to parts of northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. These cool winds, combined with the moisture from the low, brought significant rains to a good part of extreme southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Now the big question on a lot of people’s minds this summer has been, “Why have there been so many upper lows?” At first, my initial reply goes to persistence — that is, the weather we see today will be the same weather we see tomorrow. But that wouldn’t explain the pattern of dry and wet weather we’ve seen, unless we look at the bigger picture. So far we seem to be stuck in a pattern of colderthan-average temperatures to our east and warmer-than-aver-

age temperatures to our southwest. We have seen some warm air move into the Prairies so far this summer, but these intrusions have been weak, only lasting a week or so at the most. The culprit has been the upper-level low. The weather pattern over North America has been such that areas of low pressure coming in off the Pacific have been meeting what seems to be a semi-permanent trough of low pressure over the eastern part of North America. As these lows approach this trough, they move into an environment that allows them to strengthen. If everything plays out correctly, this low breaks off the main jet stream and ends up “cut off” from the upper-level flow. It then takes its time moving out, lasting upward of several days. Persistence allows atmospheric conditions to remain in place and this year this has resulted in Pacific systems moving in, intensifying, and finally becoming strong enough to influence upper-level winds. The next big question is whether this current long-term weather pattern will continue, or El Niño conditions will overcome our current pattern and bring us nice continuous warm winter weather. Eventually this pattern will change — it’s just a matter of time.

Making 191 words count There’s no reason to celebrate falling internal trade barriers despite a recent ‘agreement’ among provincial leaders By Sylvain Charlebois Dalhousie University

t was interesting to see how a meagre 191-word document signed by all premiers on internal free trade was lauded as a major coup for our confederation. The Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) was signed recently at the annual premier’s summit in Whitehorse. It may take months before we know what products are included in the deal, and what is not. For years, restrictions amongst provinces prevent many food products such as dairy, wines, and beer to flow freely through our country. We can certainly celebrate the goodwill of our provincial leaders, but we should all remain cautiously optimistic. The intent of the deal signed in Whitehorse is meant to revitalize the ineffective Agreement on Internal Trade that was originally signed in 1994, at the beginning of the Chrétien era. After defeating the Conservatives who were in power for nine years, the Chrétien government was beginning a new mandate. There was a sense of rejuvenation within the confederation. The political atmosphere was different at the time and provincial leaders signed the agreement with confidence. A little more than 22 years later, under a

new Liberal government, we are witnessing the second coming of a serious determination to deal with our internal trade quarrels. In 1994 several events took place soon after the deal was signed that changed the political spectrum. People around the table changed and the overwhelming pleasant sentiment disappeared. Quebec elected a separatist government and transfer taxes were reduced to a point that Ottawa abruptly ended its honeymoon-esque period with the provinces. As the political landscape changed, so did internal economic priorities. Nothing can prevent something like this from happening again. This time around, with Brexit, Trumpism and continuing disturbing terrorist attacks affecting many countries, the world is a much more complicated place. One can easily see how CFTA can be forgotten. The hard truth is that Canada is simply not a trade-focused nation,

particularly in agriculture and food. We trade with the world despite ourselves. With our rigid quota-based schemes, tariffs on imports, provincially based marketing boards, and liquor boards, trading food products can be challenging in our country. Internal trade strains in Canada speak to a significant constitutional paradox. While our confederation is certainly complicated to manage, our constitution is fairly easy to interpret. In fact, our constitution, which was signed more than 149 years ago in Charlottetown, offers provisions for enhanced internal trades. Yet our forefathers never anticipated provinces to be in contempt of our own constitution. In Whitehorse this year the premiers basically agreed to agree, and nothing more. We may see an agreement in the future or we may not. Exploring options through a consultative process will bring us to where we need to be. However, we should not be sur-

prised that details coming out of working groups will likely become points of contention. Keep in mind that consultations related to this trade deal will be added to the 150 consultations on various issues that are already taking place in Ottawa. To say that Ottawa loves to consult these days would be an understatement. In recent years most of our traderelated attention was given to major international trade deals like CETA and TPP. Years of work were dedicated to the signature and potential ratification of both agreements. Yet due to uncontrollable factors both agreements now seem uncertain. Time can be better spent on interprovincial trades where the economic terrain is less choppy. More internal trade is desirable for all regions, all provinces, and a renewed economic focus amongst provinces is economically indispensable. A deal can provide a better chance for Terroir know-how to shine across the country. In fact, CFTA has the potential to create significant wealth in regions. It could even be more economically influential than our current equalization payment scheme, which has proven over the years to support fruitless policies.

Sustainability from a blend of crop and livestock production Beef producers and researchers need to think outside the box beyond strict production agriculture BY KRIS RINGWALL Beef specialist, NDSU Extension Service

or ward thinking is important in beef production. For some, beef production is fine in its present form with no need for alternative production models. Yet many producers are seeking production models that will stand the test of time. Where is beef going to go? Perhaps a look at agriculture in general would be good. Ideally, production agriculture will continue in its present role, but too often the words “sustainable” and “appeasement” are used side by side. The status quo is sufficient. However, given current data and trends, the sustainability of current systems is a subject of spirited discussion, particularly if community and population trends are added to the equation. Expandable and, we hope, more sustainable systems n e e d t o b e e va l u a t e d t o assess current trends. In a

word, that’s diversification. For the future, all avenues for additional revenue streams n e e d t o b e e x p l o re d t o enhance the economic viability for beef producers and the rural areas associated with beef production. This compensation may come from not only beef but also synergistic crop production. For example, smallgrain production systems can integrate rotational cropping practices, high-residue management and annual forages (with attention to wildlife habitat enhancement) to diversify income while opening the door to other valueadded opportunities for beef production in concert with crop production.

More than production ag Agriculture is no longer simply production agriculture; it involves increased urban and recreational components as well. This multiple approach to a dynamic agr iculture also provides opportunity for enhanced economic

In addition, marketing and obtaining a fair value for commodities produced from forage-based systems is key.

sustainability for rural producers. The Dickinson Research Extension Center, as part of North Dakota State University, takes seriously the need for sustainable beef systems in the world of agriculture. The centre is striving to develop sustainable and integrated production strategies that match conditions of western North Dakota and surrounding regions. The inclusion of forages into traditional cropping s y s t e m s c a n p rov i d e t h e resources necessary for the development of integrated production strategies that

increase sustainability and profitability. Forage-based cropping systems come closer to the native plant community present when homesteaders first arrived in this region. A need exists to develop agro-ecosystems that optimize the balance between forage-based and grainbased crop/livestock systems reflective of the many individual ecosystems. These integrated systems must be synergistic to, or enhance, the native and agronomic p l a n t c o m m u n i t i e s, t h u s providing the base for future beef production. In addition, marketing and obtaining a fair value for commodities produced from forage-based systems is key. Because the general population requires protein, a need met by meat and highprotein crops, meeting this demand is a unique opportunity that a forage-based system integrated with crop production can respond to in addition to current cropland use.

These thoughts are changing how the Dickinson Research Extension Center addresses the future. Previous work certainly has set baseline production for high-residue cropping systems, grassland systems and livestock systems. However, further definition, integration and refinement of these system efforts is critical. Beef production needs to think outside the box and the centre also needs to do the same. Challenging the limits of conventional thinking by linking the components of agr icultural management systems with value-added opportunities ensuring longterm sustainability of beef and cropping systems within the environment is critical. In response, a new approach — a concept of integrated agr icultural systems that truly entwine crop, beef and forage production as a working unit for the betterment of all — needs to be embraced. That betterment rests with the soil all systems are based on: sustainable soil.

FROM PAGE ONE SOYBEANS Continued from page 1

— shows Manitoba farmers insured a record 1.64 million acres of soybeans (including 78,600 acres of pedigreed seed), up 300,000 acres or 22 per cent from last year and up 65 per cent since 2013. Soybeans remain Manitoba’s third-highestacreage crop. Insured 2016 canola acres of 3.2 million are flat. The oilseed is still Manitoba’s top-acreage crop. Insured red spring wheat acres of 2.2 million fell 300,000 — the same number of acres that soybeans increased by. Red spring wheat accounts for the secondhighest number of acres in Manitoba. (All insured wheat totals almost 2.8 million acres.) “Soybean acres in Manitoba are going up at the rate I expected,” Burnett, who in 2013 was a weather and market analyst with the CWB and today has the same position with G3, said in an interview Aug. 18. “It would be a push to be equal to the canola area in another two years obviously, but it is going to be close.” Assuming a 22 per cent increase in soybean plantings in 2017 and 2018 it would bring insured acres to almost 2.5 million by 2018. If some of the 700,000-acre increase came from canola, the gap between the two wouldn’t be that large. “It does depend on the relative price of these crops,” Burnett said. “Under different price scenarios you could see it where soybeans would get close to canola in the total area in Manitoba.” Manitoba soybean acres could hit two million acres in two years, but getting much higher could be a challenge, said Dennis Lange, Manitoba Agriculture industry development specialist — pulses. Wheat and canola currently account for almost half of Manitoba’s 11.5 million acres of cultivated land. Soybeans’ gain will have to come from some other crops. “That’s tough to do after a while because certain crops have their niche,” he said. No matter what happens both Lange and Burnett agree soybeans have a strong foothold as a viable crop in Manitoba. That was far from certain when Burnett and others experimented with soybeans in the 1980s, with limited success. At the time Baldur Stefenansson, one of the fathers of canola, suggested farmers focus on that crop because canola was better adapted to Manitoba. Farmers did and canola stole King Wheat’s crown.

Manitoba’s insured acres of CPS wheat grow exponentially SeCan’s new AAC Penhold accounted for 99 per cent of the increase BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

anada Prairie Spring (CPS) wheat has not been popular in Manitoba because of disease issues, but this year insured acres jumped a staggering 1,419 per cent. That translates into an extra 55,547 acres — small compared to insured winter wheat (134,307) and feed wheat (374,131) acres, but it’s a huge jump when compared to last year’s paltry 3,914 acres of CPS varieties. And it’s all because of SeCan’s new variety AAC Penhold, which accounts for 99 per cent of Manitoba’s 2016 CPS acres. “There are three things that make it (AAC Penhold) a really neat fit and will probably encourage more growth (in Manitoba),” Todd Hyra, SeCan’s Western Canada business manager said in an interview Aug. 18. First there’s straw strength, which is even better than CWRS wheat varieties. Secondly, it’s short — shorter even than the varieties Carberry or Brandon. Thirdly, it has an MR (moderate resistance) to fusarium head blight.

“It’s the first-ever CPS to have all of those parts put together at the same time,” Hyra said. “Traditionally CPS didn’t work (in Manitoba) because the disease package wasn’t there. The overall disease package on AAC Penhold is very good and the anchor to that is the MR rating for fusarium.” Moreover, the new CPS wheats have higher milling and baking quality than earlier varieties. And AAC Penhold also has high yield potential. “I would give it a 10 per cent yield bump over CWRS wheats like Carberry,” Hyra said. MASC’s Management Plus shows on almost 2,200 acres of AAC Penhold harvested in Manitoba last year, yield averaged 64 bushels an acre. Carberry averaged 48 on more than 518,000 acres. A seed grower in Alberta saw AAC Penhold averaged 140 bushels an acre, Hyra said. Several American Dark Northern Spring wheats, now registered in Canada’s new Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR) class, are popular in Manitoba because of their high yield potential. Todd expects AAC Penhold can compete with them because of its resistance

to lodging and better tolerance to fusarium. “Often we are seeing now straw height and straw management and lodging resistance has become a more important characteristic than pure yield,” he said. “I think it (AAC Penhold) will find its

way into spec shipments because the CPS red is another premium class like CWRS and the protein on Penhold is actually quite high so any of it blended in CNHR shipments would improve it.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

Funds fight hunger Every CFGB growing project donation across the country is matched four to one by the federal government. Last year the Killarney Growing Project har vested 148 acres of canola and raised $90,000. “With the government being involved and matching anything that we can produce, times four, you can really get some substantial numbers up there,” Peters said. “Plus, the Foodgrains Bank isn’t just a handout.

So, it was kind of special in that way for us personally.” In Febr uar y of this year the Turners also took part in a CFGB tour that took them to one of the regions where donations are put to work, drought-stricken Ethiopia. “We have been to Ethiopia and we know that this makes a difference,” Turner said. “I think we knew in our hearts before that it was making a difference but now that we have seen it first hand, we know it makes a difference. We know that all the effort and the time that people take is making a tremendous difference in the lives of those who need it and they are just so thankful for it.” Ethiopia is currently experiencing the worst drought in decades and 80 per cent of its population subsists on rainfed agriculture. “For the Ethiopian people this project really just reassures them that other people care about their struggles and I think that the best part about this project is that we get such awesome community support and you know when you are organizing it that

put towards the organization’s overarching goal of fighting global hunger, reducing malnutrition and achieving sustainable food security. In 2015-16, the CFGB helped over one million people in 40 countries by providing food in times of crisis and helping people grow more food to better support themselves. Last year in Manitoba, 29 similar CFGB effor ts were held throughout the province, growing and donating approximately 5,750 acres. “This crop is not sold yet because it wasn’t 100 per cent dry but that is good. It gives us a couple more marketing options,” Turner said. “We have got around that 65 to 70 bushels an acre this year and with all the rain that we have had we are very happy with the outcome,” Peters said. “The disease level in the wheat is also next to none so we are very thankful for that as well.”

Pulse and soybean research position to bring industry to classroom

This unique position will aid to integrate the pulse industry into the university to a greater degree STAFF

he Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) and the University of Manitoba are teaming up to create a new applied research postion to help bridge the gap between classroom and real world. “We noticed a shortage in applied research capacity,” said Francois Labelle, MPSG executive director. “Our farmers are asking some great questions. This position at the University of Manitoba will help to address these questions, improving farm operations today as well as educating students to assure the future of the pulse and soybean industry is in the hands of well-trained, and highly qualified people.”

Wi t h $ 4 0 0 , 0 0 0 i n f u n d ing from the Government of Canada and the Province of Manitoba, along with matching support from MPSG, the faculty of agricultural and food sciences seeks to hire a research agronomist focused on pulse and soybean production issues. The position will also serve as an agronomist-in-residence, providing real-life dimension to the curriculum and bringing the expertise of a practising professional to the classroom. Digvir Jayas, vice-president (research and international) and a distinguished professor at the University of Manitoba, says the position will both give students a better connection to industry, which will have positive effects for years to come. “In turn we are generating a more contemporary and qualified workforce that will benefit

the Manitoba agricultural community,” Jayas said. The research agronomist will design a research program in collaboration with University of Manitoba researchers that addresses best management practices for soybeans, edible beans and field peas with practical relevance and commercial application to Manitoba pulse and soybean farmers, implementing field projects on crop management, input evaluation, pest management and plant nutrition. The job will also entail interpreting and sharing research results with farmers, extension staff, agribusiness representatives and crop commodity organizations. The job posting can be found on the University of Manitoba website. The posting closes on August 31, 2016.

Europe trade remains mired in uncertainty Ratification of the historic Canada-EU trade and investment pact is anything but a sure thing BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

ith just two months t o g o b e f o re t h e scheduled signing of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union, things are up in the air. There’s uncertainty over what the deal will entail, and nobody’s sure if ratification is going to happen. The U.K. is on the way out of the EU, at least three countries are quarrelling with parts of the deal and three others are seeking changes, according to one European news source. Politico Europe says six countries are either proposing amendments to the deal reached in 2015 or are seeking

changes to it. Other European reports suggest this deal and a similar pact under negotiation between Europe and the United States will become lost in the fallout from the British decision. If all somehow goes according to plan, the leaders of the 28 EU countries are scheduled to meet Oct. 20 to give final approval. If they do, Prime Minister Trudeau will travel to Brussels for a signing ceremony. Once the deal is signed, Canada and Europe are to launch the ratification process, which could take into 2017 or longer. Parliament and the provinces will have to ratify the deal for Canada while the European Parliament as well as the 28 EU member-states will each have to ratify it for its provisions to come into effect across Europe.

opposition to the deal. “Don’t expect these dissidents to simply abstain,” he said. “This is the first agreement of its type for the EU, so don’t expect the past to be a prefect indicator.” Be l g i u m , Ro m a n i a a n d Bulgaria have all said they can’t sign the deal in its present form, while Greece, Poland and Austria want modifications to details of the agreement. Whether their opposition will be enough to stall or scuttle the deal remains to be seen. Failing to ratify it would cast a dark shadow over the EU’s ability to negotiate agreements, as well as Europe’s interest in free trade with the rest of the world. Trade Minister Chr ystia Freeland hasn’t addressed publicly either the impact of Britain’s Brexit vote or the dis-

Belgium, Romania and Bulgaria have all said they can’t sign the deal in its present form, while Greece, Poland and Austria want modifications.

Late last year, Canada and Europe announced a legal scrub of the proposed agreement had been completed setting the stage for the October meeting. Ottawa trade guru Peter Clark says he’s receiving the same information from his s o u rc e s a b o u t Eu r o p e a n

satisfied European countries. Canada contends that 90 per cent of the deal could apply provisionally, once the EU Parliament ratifies the deal. As well, there has been no further word from Ottawa about British requests for a separate trade deal with Canada. Britain is Canada’s fourth-largest trading partner. Federal officials say Canada and Europe don’t want to tinker with the deal, which was negotiated on the basis of Britain being included, for fears it could unravel. The deal is of considerable economic importance to both sides even if Britain isn’t part of it. It’s also a precedent for other trade agreements and its collapse at this point would be a bad omen. Canadian officials say they don’t believe changes to the deal are necessary.

ctivity at auction marts across Manitoba for the week ending Aug. 19 was slow and steady, as auctioneers waited out the summer slowdown. The cattle market was stronger this week, benefiting from lower feed grain prices and as more yearlings becoming available, said Keith Cleaver, manager of Heartland Livestock Services in Brandon. “Feeder cattle have edged up a good five to seven cents… butcher cattle have remained fairly steady, $90-$98 on the good cows, and bulls have remained fairly steady as well,” Cleaver said. “Hopefully the trend continues up a bit here; I don’t think there’s going to be big volumes, at least not on calves, until the end of September.” Demand has been growing, coming from all three directions, he said. “There is interest coming from the south (U.S.), there’s also been some go east (Ontario) and also to the west (Alberta).” Feed and corn crops have been flourishing in Manitoba with harvesting underway, bringing feed prices down. Lower feed costs give cow-calf producers flexibility during the off-season. Pastures across Manitoba are in good condition, with abundant grass growth reported in some areas, according to the province’s latest crop report. The Interlake has experienced some flooding due to excessive rain; otherwise, water supply in pastures remains adequate. “There’s a lot of grass this year so there’s going to be yearlings coming fairly regular,” Cleaver said.

Forage crops continue to show good growth as well, according to the report. Late cutting of forage crops due to wet conditions in central Manitoba, however, has lowered the nutritional value and raised fibre content. Haying operations are also catching up in some areas of Manitoba after extremely wet conditions caused ongoing delays, the report said. Rains and high humidity are still causing problems, stalling haying progress in some areas. On the national front, new estimates show Canadian cattle producers hanging on to more breeding stock and holding more calves compared to last year, according to Statistics Canada. Livestock estimates as of July 1 showed 13.2 million cattle on Canadian farms, up 1.3 per cent from July 1 last year. This marks the cattle herd’s first year-over-year increase since 2012. Manitoba saw the second-biggest increase in its cattle herd, both percentage-wise and in the number of animals, rising 3.7 per cent, or 45,000 head, over the 12-month period to 1.25 million head.

t has taken Saskatchewan veterinar y researchers less than a year to develop, test and prototype a vaccine for PEDv, a devastating hog disease that has killed more than eight million pigs and cost pork producers $400 million worldwide. P E D v h i t t h e Un i t e d States in 2013 and spread to Canada in 2014. It was first discovered in Europe, and has become increasingly problematic in Asian countries. Occurring only in pigs, PEDv can kill up to 100 per cent of infected pig-

lets. PEDv is a coronavirus, a virus group which includes important emerging human diseases such as SARS and MERS. Using its new containment Level 3 facility, the University of Saskatchewan’s Va c c i n e a n d In f e c t i o u s Disease OrganizationInternational Vaccine Centre ( VIDO-InterVac) quickly launched a vaccine development project. “Our new facility, InterVac, provided us with the containment infrastructure to develop a vaccine and demonstrate it protected up to 100 per cent of the piglets,” said Volker Gerdts, VIDOInterVac’s research director.

With the support of the swine industry, the vaccine is now undergoing field testing in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, where it is being used to help protect piglets from a recent PEDv outbreak. Industry organizations representing pork producers say the new vaccine is a very positive development. “This is great news for the swine industry both in Canada and glob a l l y, a s P E D v c o n t i n ues to threaten unaffected regions and impact areas where it is already present,” said Sask Pork general manager Neil Ketilson.

Commodity News Service Canada,

anola gained ground alongside U.S. markets on the week, but bearish external factors tempered gains and could add pressure going forward. ICE Futures Canada canola contracts advanced in the week ending Aug. 19, following strength in the Chicago Board of Trade soybean market. C B OT s oy b e a n s m ov e d h i g h e r w i t h strong demand from China. That demand is expected to be reflected in tighter ending stocks data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture moving forward. While demand from China played a role in canola’s gains, it could also play a role in its declines. China is set to introduce a new dockage policy on Sept. 1, changing the amount of allowable foreign material in shipments from 2.5 per cent to one per cent. The Canola Council of Canada and Canadian politicians have met with Chinese officials to discuss the change. A number of rumours is circling the issue, with industr y groups saying the change poses a huge risk to Canada’s canola farmers and markets. Processors are able to clean canola to one per cent dockage and build it into their basis costs, as it takes a little more time and money. But some industry participants say as canola is shipped through the system, it can pick up additional dockage. “ They’re not so much worr ied about ‘Can they do it?’ — they’re worried about whether or not the quality will be respected once it arrives in China,” one Winnipegbased trader said. Advances in the Canadian dollar against its U.S. counterpart limited canola’s gains on the week, as a stronger loonie makes the commodity less affordable for international buyers.

The Canadian dollar moved above 78 U.S. cents during the week ended Aug. 19, closing at 77.78 U.S. cents, up by more than half a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart.

Bullish effects CBOT wheat futures advanced on the week, though the market is still saddled with a bearish supply-and-demand situation, which could pressure the market moving forward, especially as the U.S. wraps up harvest. Crop loss in the European Union has underpinned the market, but those bullish effects aren’t likely to last, as output from Russia is expected to supplement those losses. Spillover support from the nearby corn market was also a feature. CBOT corn futures gained more than a cent on the week, as strong demand perked prices up from a seven-year low. Demand for U.S. corn is strong, due to lower production from South America, which has prompted Brazil to import corn from the U.S. However, the expectation for a massive U.S. corn crop could push prices back down in coming sessions. U.S. corn production is expected to reach 15.15 billion bushels, according to USDA forecasts.

Prairie wheat bids continue upward movement September MGEX spring wheat rose 16.5 U.S. cents on the week BY DAVE SIMS CNS Canada

pring wheat cash bids across Western Canada kept creeping higher during the week ended Aug. 19, taking strength from advances in U.S. futures. Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were up by roughly $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 $209 per tonne in Saskatchewan’s southeast region, to as high as $222 in southern parts of Alberta. Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but held steady overall to range from about $15 to

$29 per tonne above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollar-denominated futures and Canadian dollar cash bids. When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$162 to US$172 per tonne. That would put the currency adjusted basis levels at about US$12 to US$23 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 $18 to $33 below the futures. Bids for Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat reported by PDQ were up by anywhere from $2 to $4 per tonne over the course of the week. Average CPSR prices came in

Average CWRS prices ranged from about $209 per tonne in Saskatchewan’s southeast region, to as high as $222 in southern parts of Alberta.

at about $163 to $176 per tonne in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Average durum prices were chopping around unchanged, depending on the location, with bids in Saskatchewan ranging from roughly $238 to $243 per tonne. The September spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts in Canada are based, was quoted Aug. 19 at US$5.3025 per bushel, up 16.5 U.S. cents per bushel from the previous week. Kansas City hard red winter wheat

futures, traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The September K.C. wheat contract was quoted at US$4.18 per bushel on Aug. 19, up 1.75 U.S. cents compared to the previous week. The September Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled at US$4.27 on Aug. 19, up by 4.5 U.S. cents on the week. The Canadian dollar closed Aug. 19 at 77.78 U.S. cents, up by over half a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart on the week.

Sainfoin potential tested Trials at the Brandon Research and Development Centre aim to see how the crop will measure up in a second-cut system compared to alfalfa BY JENNIFER PAIGE Co-operator staff / Brandon

o e s s a i n f o i n h a ve the potential to be a productive secondcut system, comparable to alfalfa? Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) researchers intend to find out. At the Brandon Research and Development Centre they have seeded two varieties of sainfoin, Melrose and AC Mountainview, in both pure stands and mixed with grasses. Mae Elsinger, an AAFC range management biologist says they’re looking at a variety of treatments to find the most productive options. “ We have all kinds of things that we are investigating with these sainfoin lots,” she said. “We are trying a new variety and comparing it to an old variety and trying different seeding rates. We are also trying different mixtures, like 30 per cent grass, 70 per cent sainfoin, and 70 per cent grass, 30 per cent sainfoin and a 50/50 mix.” A perennial forage legume, sainfoin can grow to a height of three feet or more and is usually taller than alfalfa. T h e s t e m s a re h o l l ow and the leaves are divided into a large number of leaflets, similar to vetch. It has a number of positive attributes but also some drawbacks. “We are interested in sainfoin because it is a nonbloat legume, however, we know from the past that it seems to go out of the stand under our normal management practices,” Elsinger said. The sainfoin plots were planted in May 2015 and fertilized with ammonium sulphate in May 2016. T h e p roject is funded through the Canada’s Beef Science Cluster, a partnership between AAFC and the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) and also involves collaboration with the University of Manitoba a n d t h e Un i v e r s i t y o f Sa s k a t c h e w a n , t h a t a re interested in the potential of making sainfoin a two-cut system. “For the purposes of this project we are working with the University of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and they are interested in cutting at the 50 per cent bloom stage,

which was very early this year in the second week of June,” Elsinger said, adding August 15 is the target for second cut. Sainfoin matures early and gives particularly good forage yields under a onecut system but does have a slower recovery than alfalfa and often yields less when grazed or cut twice or more in a season. Alfalfa has been included at the BRDC site for comparison. “It seems to me that the sainfoin flowers a lot ear-

lier than alfalfa. Maybe it has better potential for a second-cut system, hard to say. We are hoping to collect some data on that from this study,” Elsinger said.

Prairie forages AAFC researchers also have three other research projects growing at the same site, looking at the production potential of native mixtures and native varieties of grasses and legumes. “We have cicer milk vetch planted as a comparison to the other milk vetches,

some native milk vetches like slender milk vetch, Canadian and Amer ican milk vetch,” Elsinger said. The milk vetch was planted in June of 2016 along with pure stands and mixtures of western wheatgrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, nodding bromegrass, little bluestem, side-oats gramagrass, white and purple prairie clover. “We are testing out purple prairie clover. It is a very expensive seed but it may be valuable as a non-bloat legume,” Elsinger said. “It is a

native legume so it would be adapted to our environmental conditions. It might also be adaptable if we see any effects of climate change and it may even have medicinal properties that may reduce E. coli in the digestive track, which is of interest in regards to the food security of beef.” AAFC researchers will be focusing on measuring the production of the varieties and the University of Manitoba will be looking at digestibility. jennifer.pagie@fbcpublishing.com

NFU opposes ground beef irradiation Irradiation will allow large companies to benefit from regulation and puts up another barrier to smaller packers, the NFU says By Alex Binkley Co-operator contributor

h e Na t i o n a l Fa r m e r s Un i o n s a y s He a l t h Canada should kibosh its proposal to allow irradiation of ground beef and i m p r ov e m e a t i n s p e c t i o n instead. The department should also establish “appropriate and effective regulations that will support a diversified, regional f o o d - p ro c e s s i n g s t ra t e g y,” the NFU said. “These actions would increase Canadians’ confidence in meat packers to provide them with clean, wholesome ground beef produced by Canadian farmers.” In Ju n e, He a l t h Ca n a d a announced it had decided ground beef “treated with irradiation is safe to eat and retains its nutritional value, taste, texture and appearance.” It launched an electronic consultation that closes Sept. 1. The NFU says JBS and Cargill, two foreign-owned companies dominate the Canadian beef-packing industry. “Irradiation equipment is costly, thus we can assume that these two companies would be in the best position to benefit from the proposed regulatory change.” Ro n D a v i d s o n , d i re c t o r o f I n t e r n a t i o n a l Tr a d e , Gover nment and Media Relations with the Canadian Me a t C o u n c i l , s a y s b o t h large and small packers and processors “believe that i r ra d i a t i o n o f f e r s a we l l researched, internationally accepted, and long-proven methodology for further reducing the potential presence of harmful pathogens.” Irradiated fresh and frozen ground beef would be an option for processors and consumers, he added. It “would be applicable to only a limited portion of ground beef production that has a l re a d y s a t i s f i e d a l l f o o d safety criteria, constitute an added cost of production, and be of interest primarily to purchasers who may be particularly vulnerable to foodborne illness or who choose an even higher level of food safety certainty. “Health Canada approval of this scientifically validated t e c h n o l o g y w o u l d : re d u c e human illness and suffering; decrease health-care expenditures; improve confidence in Canada’s food safety system; benefit this nation economically; and, provide Canadians with the opportunity to exercise individual choice,” he noted. Davidson noted foodborne pathogens are not visible and food safety cannot be inspected into food products. It “is best obtained by the use of leading-edge technology, procedures, equipment, and monitoring.” The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association first requested approval for ground beef irradiation back in 1998. It and the Canadian Meat Council kept pressuring the departm e n t o n t h e i s s u e, w h i c h re g a i n e d p u b l i c a t t e n t i o n in the wake of the 2012 XL beef scandal. An investigation into it urged the depart-

ment to approve irradiation. It’s already used on potatoes, onions, wheat, flour, spices and seasoning preparations as well as medical supplies, food-packaging materials and cosmetic ingredients for many years. All irradiated foods have to be labelled with the Radura symbol. T h e N F U s a i d “J B S a n d Cargill would have the capacity to spread the cost of expensive irradiation equipment over their high volume of sales. This means they could choose to use irradiation to cut costs, which would allow them to undercut smaller companies and thereby increase their market domination by driving these competitors out of business. “With fewer abattoirs and packers, the options of both farmers and consumers would shrink, as they would increasingly be forced to sell or buy from JBS and Cargill. Reducing choices makes it easier for the

“With fewer abattoirs and packers, the options of both farmers and consumers would shrink, as they would increasingly be forced to sell or buy from JBS and Cargill.

two dominant meat companies to pay beef producers less for their animals and to charge higher prices to retailers and the consumers who ultimately buy and eat ground beef.” The NFU said it’s concerned processors would use irradiation “as a mop-up operation to compensate for unsanitary conditions and inadequate

procedures. Irradiation may also instil a false confidence in the meat’s safety. Any harmful toxins produced by dangerous bacteria that were living in the meat prior to irradiation would remain in the meat. Furthermore, once most or all micro-organisms are killed by irradiation, any pathogens that remain alive or come into contact with the meat

afterward would proliferate quickly, as they would not face any competition from harmless micro-organisms that would otherwise be present.” Canada’s food safety system “requires food processors to analyse their procedures and identify each point where a hazard could occur and to put in place control measures to prevent the hazard from being present when the consumer purchases the product.” Processors could use irradiation to control “fecal contamination of carcasses that occurs when processing high volumes at high speeds without adequate inspection of production lines.” It n o t e d t h e 2 0 1 3 a u d i t o r g e n e ra l’s re p o r t c r i t i cized government cutbacks to front-line meat inspection staffing levels and changes to procedures have resulted in food safety becoming “largely a matter of industry self-regulation.”

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 »

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.

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.

Selecting the right antibiotic

There are a lot of factors at play and all of them need to be considered in every case where antibiotics are an option ROY LEWIS DVM Beef 911

lthough a few very effective antibiotics have been removed from the marketplace over the years, the choice has never been greater. The challenge is there are so many factors hinging on the outcome, so deciding which antibiotic to use — or if one is necessary at all — can be a very difficult decision. Also with the ever-present possibility of antibiotic resistance, we as veterinarians need to decide what antimicrobials to stay away from or to only use in clinical cases when a lowerclass antibiotic is not efficacious. Hopefully after reading this article, the thought process will become clearer. One article can’t clarify every possible combination, so you need to work with your veterinarian to decide on a strategy and the choices for at least the common diseases. Reading the label is always beneficial as diseases for which clearance has been granted are written on the label. This alone gives you a start as to what types of diseases and subsequently what organ systems, the antibiotic will get into. The majority of antibiotics, especially new ones, requires a prescription from your veterinarian and so you need to know the conditions it is used for, dosage, method of administration, precautions, withdrawal, etc. The first decision is whether antibiotics are even necessary. If there is no bacterial infection present or expected in the future, antibiotics may be unnecessary (viral infections are one example). On large mature cattle or feedlot animals, withdrawal times definitely need to be considered. If

PHOTO: thinkstock

a condition becomes chronic, slaughter may be an option as we don’t want to burden ourselves and the critter with a long slaughter withdrawal. Other considerations will be the syringeability (especially important in winter), dosage amount, safety, means of administration (subcutaneous, oral, intravenous etc.), and the cost of the product per treatment day. Cost per day is really the way to truly compare treatment costs. The longeracting products will cost more because they last longer. The upside is less labour and less stress on the cattle. (This may be nullified if other procedures or painkillers must be given on a daily basis.) The main questions we as veterinarians (and you as farmers) face are: What are the conditions, what organ system is primarily involved, and is causative bacteria likely? The answers to these questions determine the most appropriate first-, second-, and thirdchoice treatment options. The best choice takes into account farmer preference, as well as past and current research. Veterinarians will

even have different ‘favourites’ for specific conditions. There is almost never a single choice. A few antibiotics are called broad spectrum, which means they work against a wide array of bacteria in different organ systems. The older sulphonimides as well as newer drugs like Nuflor, Resflor, or Excenel are fairly broad in their effect. Other drugs are very specific — for example, treatment of pneumonia. The macrolide antibiotics are a class of drugs which specifically get into the lungs. Drugs such as Zuprevo, Draxxin, Zactran, and Micotil are all macrolides, and are used primarily for bacterial pneumonia and only a few other things. All prescription antibiotics are fairly specific for pneumonia or only a few other conditions. Veterinarians may also prescribe them for very specific things, such as seminal vesiculitis in young bulls. There will never be a label claim against these oddball infections. A veterinarian’s experience is invaluable in writing an extralabel prescription. If we do see resistance against one drug in an antibiotic class it is usually

More cattle entered U.S. feedlots in July than anticipated — USDA

July placements are up two per cent over a year ago and that may hurt prices By Theopolis Waters CHICAGO / Reuters

attle placed in U.S. feedlots in July rose 2.0 per cent compared to a year earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Aug. 19, which topped most analysts’ estimates. Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle futures are at a wide discount to what packers paid feedlots for slaughter-ready cattle. That encouraged sellers to send animals to market earlier than they otherwise would have, analysts said. Cheaper feed lowered input costs for feedlot operators, they said, compelling some to buy more young cattle to fatten. Don Roose, an analyst with U.S. Commodities, also noted the number of cattle placed in commercial feeding pens typically

picks up in July before tapering off around October when grazing pastures are less plentiful. Heavier cattle that were placed in feed yards last month are expected to begin arriving at packing plants around late December, said University of Missouri economist Ron Plain. That could temper a seasonal rally in cattle prices while keeping a lid on demand. The USDA report showed July placements at 1.572 million head, up 2.0 per cent from 1.547 million last year. That was well above analysts’ average forecast of 1.555 million and the highest for the month since 1.698 million in July 2013. The government put the feedlot cattle supply as of Aug. 1 at 0.165 million head, up 2.0 per cent from 10.002 million a year ago. Analysts, on average, had forecast an increase of 1.4 per cent. The government said the

number of cattle sold to packers, or marketings, slipped 1.0 per cent in July from a year ago, to 1.713 million head. Analysts projected a 0.3 per cent decline from 1.725 million last year. There were two less days to slaughter cattle in July 2016 than in the same month a year earlier, analysts and economists said. “We’ve got an awful good corn crop out there and those prices have been coming down. And the cattle herd appears to be bigger than we thought it was so a few more animals are available to be placed than we might have expected,” said Plain. Analysts viewed the report as mildly bearish for CME live cattle after a 3.0 per cent drop the week prior to the report release. “The focus will be on whether the cash market can hold steady,” said Roose.

resistant to the other drugs in that class. There are two big classes of bacteria — gram positive and gram negative. Clostr idial infections such as blackleg or anthrax are caused by gram-positive organisms. We were always told at veterinary school: P for positive and P for penicillin. This older antibiotic is still quite effective against certain conditions and most veterinarians still use it. Diseases such as blackleg produce toxins and the animal succumbs quickly, so prevention in the form of vaccination is the only effective way to prevent this disease. To be effective, the right drug must be administered at the right time and right dosage. Weight must be estimated correctly. These antibiotics have been formulated to be effective at the appropriate dosage. Twice as much as necessary will not be more effective and will only cost you more and result in an increased drug withdrawal time. The safety rule of thumb is that if you double the dosage, you double the slaughter withdrawal. Always keep that in mind.

I would be remiss here if I didn’t mention supplemental drugs, such as painkillers, anti-inflammatories, and appetite stimulants. For specific disease, they are often given in conjunction with antibiotics to quicken or improve the response. Again your veterinarian can advise what works best. Selecting the appropriate medication for a specific disease takes some thought. The biggest step saver is recording what products you use (record either the active ingredient or trade name) and list the diseases it is effective against as well as the dosage. Have a first and second choice and your own specific farm SOP set up by the veterinarian. This will go a long ways to making sure the appropriate product is given especially by new workers. As well, put up drug dosage charts (available for most products) by the chute, and list withdrawal times. Have epinephrine handy (in case you get a drug reaction) and have the appropriate syringes and needles. Remember a lot of products you use require a prescription and only use products approved for cattle unless you have a written prescription from your veterinarian. Refrigerate the appropriate products and protect others from freezing. Doing all these things should maximize effectiveness of the products. The future will see more and more vaccines and immune stimulants used, but good management is required to minimize disease and antibiotic usage. The bottom line is we will always need them to a certain degree, so selecting the right one and using it appropriately will yield the best results.

SHEEP & GOAT COLUMN

Islamic holiday drives market at latest sale Upcoming sale likely to see higher local interest for the same holiday celebration GOAT DOES

By Mark Elliot Co-operator contributor

Ewes

n August 17 sale at the Winnipeg Livestock Auction saw 400 sheep and goats come to market as buyers and sellers sought to meet the opportunity of supplying an upcoming Islamic holiday, Idal Adham, or the Festival of Sacrifice. This sale was pr imar ily buyers supplying the eastern Canadian market, looking for enough lead time to transport the animals. The upcoming Sept. 7 sale will likely see a lot of interest for the same holiday, but from more local buyers. For sellers it means an opportunity to ship heavyweight lambs and older ewes. The buyers had a good s e l e c t i o n o f f e re d f o r p u rchasing at this sale. There appeared to be no price differences between the wool and hair ewes. Ewes that were older or had some physical problems saw lower interest and bids than quality ewes. Tw o 2 0 5 - p o u n d D o r s e t c r o s s ra m s b r o u g h t $ 0 . 6 1 per pound.

The lightweight La Manchac ro s s d a i r y g o a t k i d s s a w less interest, possibly due to the small frames of the animals.

A better canola tester

Pasta in Italy is made with durum – or else! The best pasta is made with durum wheat, just ask Italy. A decree from the President of Italy in 2001 declared that Italian pasta manufacturers are forbidden by law to use any wheat other than durum in dried pasta for domestic consumption. That’s a good thing for Canada, the world’s leading exporter of high quality durum wheat.

A Somerset-area farmer has garnered an award for the best new innovation at the Western Canadian Farm Progress Show. Gerald Devloo designed the Devloo Canola Crusher as a faster and simpler way to test canola samples for green seeds at harvest time. Devloo says he found the traditional method of testing canola tedious and time consuming, and therefore began designing a simple machine to do the job. “The goal was to offer a simple user-friendly, time-saving product that people would want to use,” he said. The first step was a prototype, then several working models, each one a further refinement, until many hours later a marketable model was the result. To operate the machine, seed is placed in the hopper, the hand crank is turned four times and the result is a crushed sample on tape, ready for inspection. PHOTO: Barb Devloo

CROPS Pea growers hit by crop disease and bad weather Manitoba Agriculture’s Dennis Lange has some advice on disease prevention and harvesting BY ALLAN DAWSON

“This particular disease causes issues with things like root rot as well as leaf and stem lesions and as well we are seeing some premature ripening.”

Co-operator staff

anitoba pea growers are getting a reminder of why they backed away from the crop in the first place. Field peas, once popular in the Red River Valley, declined in the area due to disease brought on by wet weather. However, plantings jumped this year due to attractive prices. The Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC) says farmers insured 162,078 acres of peas this year, up from almost 64,000 in 2015. Last year yields averaged about 43 bushels an acre, but this year with harvest underway yields are expected to be average, says Dennis Lange, Manitoba Agriculture’s industry development specialist for pulses. “Right now I’m saying around 35 to 40 (bushels an acre)...” Lange said during the Crop Talk Westman webinar Aug. 17. Manitoba’s 10-year average pea yield is 40 bushels an acre, says data collected by MASC. Excessively wet weather in parts of Manitoba hurt pea fields and have delayed, or made harvest difficult, Lange also said. “We have seen some lodging issues and premature ripening from disease,” Lange said. “Some of the peas have gone flat and with the recent rains we’ve had, the fields are very wet and not drying out. “Yields in the valley here, we’re p r o b a b l y l o o k i n g a n y w h e re from 20 to 30 bushels an acre. Out west we’re probably going to be looking more in that 35 to 40 bushels average yield.” The wet weather has brought on mycosphaerella blight, which is part of the ascocyta disease complex, he added. “This particular disease causes issues with things like root rot as well as leaf and stem lesions, and as well we are seeing some premature ripening,” Lange said. “It has been affecting yields to some degree this year. This particular pathogen is seed borne

but also air borne and spread by rain splash... it can really affect the yield and quality of peas as well. We do have fungicide options for it, but when the disease is very prevalent some growers have had to spray twice this year.” A fungicide should be applied at flowering and ideally before the disease is present, Lange said. A second spraying, if necessary, should follow 14 days later. “Symptoms initially appear as small purplish-brown flecks on the leaves,” he said. “Under humid conditions they can grow large, resulting in the entire leaf being blighted out. Fungicides can be effective but sometimes d i s e a s e p re s s u re i s j u s t t o o severe for the fungicides to get 100 per cent control. Next year if growers are looking at growing peas again, they should use disease-free seed. Treated seed will help things along as well. Try to bury the crop residue and avoid seeding next to previous year’s pulse fields, because that disease does overwinter and can infect crops in future years.”

Farmers can improve the quality and therefore the return from their peas by taking extra care at harvest time, Lange said. A preharvest herbicide application to reduce green material in the combine can prevent seed staining, he said. Peas are dry at 16 per cent moisture. “The ideal (moisture for combining) is between 14 and 17 per cent,” Lange said. “That would cause the least amount of damage (due to squishing wet seeds or splitting dry ones). Once you start getting below that the splits are going to be a lot more severe. “If you’re in that 14 to 15 per cent moisture you should still be able to harvest without too m a n y s p l i t s. On c e yo u s t a r t dropping down to that 11 or 12 per cent you will start seeing more splits in the sample and that’s when you will really have to start playing around with the cylinder speed and m a y b e ra i s i n g yo u r c o n c a ve up a little tighter to force those peas through the concave a little quicker.”

Before combining ensure the combine cutter bar is sharp. If peas are badly lodged and a flex header is not working because the ground is too wet, farmers should switch to a rakeup header if possible, because it has longer fingers that can pull in the crop, Lange said. If the farmer only has a flex header he or she might have to wait for the ground to firm up, he added. “Keep a constant speed when you are harvesting,” Lange said. “Keep an even feed into the combine. That will make the whole process a lot easier and allow that flex header to flow along the ground. You don’t want it too rigid. If you missed a few peas that is OK, but if you put too much pressure on it you’re pulling in too much dirt as well and that’s not a good thing.” Check the hopper for mud balls, which can smear the peas during unloading, resulting in a loss of food grade, Lange said. Also check for harvest losses at the header and at the back of the combine and make adjustments if necessary. “If you can limit losses to four peas per square foot (which equals about one bushel an acre) that would be great, but in some cases you might have difficulty getting to that low number,” Lange said. “It’s always good to check to see where you are at.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

Rolling wet soil leads to compaction Rolling dry soil can increase the likelihood of topsoil loss BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

hen to roll and when not to roll soybeans, that is the question. Speaking at the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers recent SMART day in Carman, provincial soil management specialist Marla Rickman said it’s important to wait for the right conditions to avoid topsoil loss. “Generally you want to be rolling right after seeding, but if it’s really dry — especially after going throughout that seeding pass... then it might be time to hold off,” she told producers at the Ian N. Morrison Research Farm. “As well, if it’s really wet you will want to hold off because then you have an issue with potential compaction from the

roller rolling over it,” she said. “And you might not have a very good-looking field by the time you’re done either, because you are also causing more compaction with the tractor going through.” During the last few springs, wind erosion has been the primary concern. “In terms of erosion risk, it’s when it’s really dry, and we’ve seen that in the last couple of springs where we’ve had no rain for a while after seeding,” she said. “And if there is no rain, we might want to hold off and try rolling when the plants have emerged, so that the crop can actually catch some of that wind and slow down the wind speed at the surface of the soil.” Soybeans are fairly resistant, Rickman added, noting the third trifoliate is a good time to roll if you are rolling post-emergence.

“But we don’t really want to see people rolling past the first trifoliate, because we are worried about some of that stand breakage,” she cautioned, adding very new plants may also be susceptible to breakage.

Farmers should also question whether rolling is really necessary, said Rickman, adding that even large dirt clumps tend to mellow out by the time harvest rolls around, especially if there have been a couple of significant rainfalls. “If you do really low-disturbance seeding and you have a nice table top, I guess my question is, do you need to roll? Do you already have a flat enough surface to have good harvestability? Or do you need to level that out?” she said. “Those are questions you need to be asking.” Anyone with stones in their fields will need to roll, but they don’t have to go overboard. “You don’t have to roll heavy, you just need to roll enough to anchor those stones into the ground a bit,” she said. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

2 UNFORGETTABLE VACATION EXPERIENCES IN 2017! - TAKE YOUR PICK!

Abandonment of some lentil acres likely Excess moisture in Saskatchewan may eat into above-average lentil area BY DAVE SIMS CNS Canada

As thunderstorms and wet weather continue across Saskatchewan, so grows the number of lentil fields being put at risk of yield loss and potential abandonment. “Certainly in that westcentral part of the province, Rosetown and other significant lentil-growing regions, we have seen some problems and crop failures due to too much moisture,” said Carl Potts, executive director for Saskatchewan Pulse Growers. Statistics Canada has pegged lentil area for the year at 5.8 million acres — up significantly from last year’s seeded area, of just under four million acres. Potts believes the moisture problem in Saskatchewan, where the vast majority of Canada’s crop is grown, could result in a 10 or 15 per cent reduction overall.

“A very high-seeded area, with lower yields than usual, will still produce a significant amount of lentils.” Carl Potts Saskatchewan Pulse Growers

“We’re expecting a higherthan-average amount of abandonment, or difference between seeded area and harvested area, than normal,” he said. Heat and dryness are sorely needed to remedy the situation in many fields but Potts said some crops still look really good, despite the moisture. “It’s really a year of significant differences with reports of very good, ideal growing conditions in some cases,” he said. The weather at harvest time will be critical, he said, as lentils need time to dry down before being taken off. “One of the other concerns about the moisture is disease,” he said. Despite the challenges posed by the excess water, Potts still expects a very large crop to be harvested this year; it just may not reach the lofty targets forecast in June. “A very high-seeded area, with lower yields than usual, will still produce a significant amount of lentils.”

Back to the future for local brewer

Farmery brewers are hoping to highlight the farm-brewer connection and show the ingredients that make beer to the public STAFF

farm-based beer maker is offering a unique agritourism destination that will show attendees the historical ingredients that were used to make beer. Neepawa’s Farmery Estate Brewery, run by brothers Chris and Lawrence Warwaruk, are showcasing the malt barley varieties ranging from a century ago to modern times on their operation, which also produces other beer ingredients like hops. Visitors can see the varieties, most of which haven’t been widely grown for more than half a century, up close and personal, says co-owner Chris Warwaruk. “We call it the ‘Walk Through The Ages’ malt barley tour,” he said. “We were thinking that it would be really interesting to see if we could grow the old heritage varieties of malt barley that my grandpa grew, side by side with more modern barley varieties, so people can see the change in varieties over the years.” The War waruks, inspired to make this idea a reality, approached the Manitoba Department of Agriculture to see if it was open to a collaboration. The Department of Agriculture also saw the opportunity to help educate the public, and helped to source the seeds from local seed companies and government organizations, and to seed and maintain the showcase plots on the Warwaruks’ farm near Neepawa. When it comes to the craft beer market, the growing trend is closer relationships between brewers and farmers, such as the Barley Project in Oregon. Oregon is an area that has one of the highest craft beer-drinking populations in North America, and yet is an area not conducive to grow industry-standard malt barley, in contrast to the Prairie provinces, whose malt barley is globally in high demand. Yet in Oregon, farmers and craft brewers are working together to create an Oregon “brand” for their beer, and there is even research being done at the Oregon State University to see if there is a relationship between malt barley variety and beer flavour apart from the malting process. By combining farm and brewery under one roof, Farmery highlights the connection between the two, Chris says. “It gives us the flexibility and freedom to have a farm where we can grow whatever variety of malt barley we want to make our beer with, and that’s a unique experience that we can provide to beer drinkers.” Lawrence Warwaruk concludes, “Back in the day, to have a local brewery meant it used local products. We want to get back to that local craft brewery experience, and invite people along for the ride.”

Brothers Chris and Lawrence Warwaruk hope a malt-barley variety demonstration featuring historical varieties will spark a discussion on the farmer-brewer connection. Photos: Farmery Estate Brewery

Farmery is also producing hops for beer production, something that’s unique to this farm-based brewing operation.

CROP REPORT

Harvest well underway across the province Manitoba Agriculture Crop Report, issued Aug. 22, 2016 Southwest Region Isolated showers over the past week brought 10 to 20 mm of rain to some areas. Some hailstorms were reported in the Oakburn and Menzie areas with some severe crop damage. There were also reports of some heavier rainfall events in the Deloraine area. Winter wheat and fall rye harvest is complete with average yields and good quality. Harvesting of spring cereals has begun. Yields to date for both wheat and barley are average with average quality. Oat harvest has also started, with average to above-average yields and good quality. Several producers are harvesting peas with some having difficulty due to lodging. Yields are average to below average and quality is average. Producers have started cutting canola; higher levels of disease are noted. Corn and sunflowers continue to develop under good growing conditions. Soybeans are in the pod-filling stage and have responded well to recent rains.

Northwest Region Scattered showers occurred over the week with approximately 10 mm of rainfall in Swan River and 25 mm in The Pas. Except for localized heavier showers, the warm weather

allowed for harvest operations to progress. Most field crops throughout the region continue to mature and are in relatively good condition. Crops are advancing with spring wheat harvest operations underway, with approximately 10 per cent complete in the Roblin and Dauphin areas, and around Swan River about 30 per cent complete. Canola continues to develop with 50 per cent of the canola fields podding and 50 per cent mature. Ten to 20 per cent of the canola is swathed in the Roblin, Dauphin and Swan River areas. Most field peas are at maturity and harvest operations have reached 90 per cent complete. Soybeans, for the most part, are podded. Haying continues across the region with the majority of first cut complete.

Central Region Warm temperatures through the week allowed for continued good crop growth. Much of the area saw rain and thundershowers, with precipitation amounts ranging from five to 50 mm. Hail was reported in the Notre Dame area. High humidity continues to limit drying conditions, increasing potential for disease in crops, and interfering with harvest and haying

operations. Significant ruts are being made by swathers and combines. Harvest is slow, as moisture levels in the grain remain high. Swath and preharvest timing is difficult due to variability. Fall rye and winter wheat harvest is generally complete. Yields averaged in the 75 to 85 bu./acre range and protein 11 to 11.5 per cent. Spring cereal crops are maturing and preharvest applications continue. Hard red spring wheat yields range from 40 to 75 bu./acre and varieties belonging to the Canada Prairie Spring wheat class have reported yields up to 90 bu./acre. Protein and fusarium levels are both variable. Barley yields are in the 70 to 85 bu./acre range; some has made malt, but reports of higher fusarium levels in most fields are a concern. Swathing of canola continues, and a few early fields have been combined. Pre-harvest applications are taking place in fields that will be straight cut. Sclerotinia infections are becoming more evident. Many pea fields have dried down. Corn is growing rapidly. Most fields are R4 (dough) to R5 (dent). Soybeans continue to flower and pod. Fields range from R4 to R5.5; with many closing in on R6. Cutting has

started in the most advanced edible beans. Fields are stressed due to excessive rainfall. There are reports of white mould showing up in fields where canopy is dense. Bacterial blight is evident in many fields. Sunflowers are flowering and as advanced as the R7 stage. Potato harvest continues. Good growth of forages continues, as does second cut.

Eastern Region Rainfall accumulations ranged from 15 to greater than 50 mm, with the highest accumulations coming from downpours. Rain interfered with harvest. Areas with higher accumulations also noted the presence of some temporary standing water. Winter wheat harvest is complete with yields ranging from 60 to 95 bu./acre with an average yield of approximately 75 bu./acre. Protein levels appear to often be at 11 per cent or higher. Fusarium-damaged kernel levels have been lower than expected. Spring cereals ranged from physiologically mature to kernel moistures suitable for harvesting. Harvesting of spring wheat is about 15 per cent complete. Yield average is 60 bu./ acre. Quality is good with much of the crop being graded as a No. 2 so far. Canola is mature with pre-

harvest applications or swathing completed on all but the later-seeded acres. Field pea harvest is ongoing. The soybean crop ranges from R5 to R6. Sunflowers are in the R6 stage. Corn is at R3.

Interlake Region S c a t t e re d s h owe r s s l owe d harvest progress. Most areas received five to 10 mm of precipitation but the Selkirk area received 30 to 45 mm. Warm temperatures and favourable winds allowed some producers to continue harvesting throughout the week and over the weekend. Harvest is five to 10 per cent complete. Winter wheat and fall rye have been harvested. Spring cereals continue to be swathed or pre-harvested. Spring wheat yields are ranging from 45 to 65 bu./acre with good quality. Oat fields are yielding 90 to 120 bu./acre with some fields going as high as 150 bu./acre. Some canola fields have been harvested. Swathing is still ongoing as crops reach proper cutting stage. Soybeans continue to fill pods and flower. Cornfields vary in development, with the most advanced acres at the milk stage. Haying continues with the challenges of intermittent rainfall.

Railways asking industry to all pull together To move the coming big crop efficiently will require better co-operation throughout the supply chain, say railway execs BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

ith memories of the grain-handling chaos of 2014 still fresh and another large Prairie crop looming, the railways are calling for greater collaboration in moving this year’s harvest. “To ensure success during this crop year, the broader supply chain must work together to collectively harness our energy so that the entire Canadian economy can reap the maximum benefit,” said CP CEO Hunter Harrison. “We have been preparing for this crop year for months and we are ready. “The grain supply chain in Canada, like most efficient supply chains, works best when demand is well distributed throughout the year. The rail supply chain has returned to normal since the extraordinary crop and winter of 201314 and CP has continued to move record amounts of grain. This means there is now excess capacity in the supply chain, including thousands of rail cars in storage ready to move the latest crop.” Meanwhile CN says it’s “fully prepared to move the coming Western Canada grain harvest safely and efficiently over the crop year. CN has the motive power, freight cars and people to do the job.

While railway executives say there’s now capacity to deal with a big crop, the grain industry is a bit more skeptical. PHOTO: CPR

“At the same time, the entire Canadian grain supply chain, from Prairie elevators to terminals at West Coast ports, will need to work collaboratively and at full capacity throughout 2016-17 to move the crop,” CN spokesman Mark Hallman adds. “CN will be operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week to do its part. “CN’s operating plan is designed to enhance rail network capacity and to provide efficient hopper car cycle times between origin and destination. With the assets, team and solid operating plan in place,

CN is ready to move its share of the coming crop to market.” Meanwhile Wade Sobkowich, We s t e r n G r a i n E l e v a t o r Association executive director, says overall grain shippers are entering this crop year with an optimistic outlook. “Many conditions are different than those which existed in 2013, such as less demand for shipping in other sectors and an early acknowledgment of the large crop size,” Sobkowich said. Back in June, the WGEA sent a letter to the railways and the federal government noting

that the Prairies were heading toward a harvest between 63 million and 74 million tonnes with more than additional eight million tonnes carry-over. “We felt it important to provide both railways with as much advance notice of these projections as possible, so you may ensure enough capacity is available to meet shipper demand for the upcoming crop year,” Sobkowich said. While the comments from CP and CN are encouraging, disconnects remain between the grain companies and the railways. Sobkowich points out while the railways call for 24-7 operation of grain terminals, that “will do nothing more than result in more sitting around and waiting for cars to arrive, and impose an unnecessary cost burden to the entire industry.” The important element is speedy unloading of rail cars once they are delivered. “Grain facilities do not sit idle unless it is because they do not have rail cars,” he says. “When rail cars are presented at port terminal facilities, with appropriate notice and with a regular and consistent cadence, they are unloaded by terminal operators in a timely way.” The grain companies communicate their delivery requirements “to both railways on a regular and frequent

basis, so the railways have a good understanding of grain shippers’ collective demand on a week-to-week basis.” The companies need to know “in advance the capacity it will be offering in the various weeks, in each of the corridors.” Grain companies face penalties from the railways if they fail to load and unload rail cars in a timely way, or if they do not use rail cars provided to the elevator, he said. “This places accountability on grain shippers to perform.” Currently, the railways are not held financially accountable if they don’t meet their delivery commitments, he added. Harrison urged the grain companies to make more use of Thunder Bay to relieve the pressure on the Port of Metro Vancouver. Sobkowich says grain companies make sales in a way that returns as much value for grains, oilseeds and pulse crops as possible and pointed out the delivery route should be a decision made by the shipper, who is the customer of the railways. “That is not for the railways to dictate, that is for us to decide,” Sobkowich said. Thus far, federal cabinet ministers say they are monitoring the situation but for now are leaving it to the railways and grain companies to deal with any issues.

Sunflowers can be frustrating but profitable Manitoba’s sunflower crop is holding its own but sclerotinia could still hit hard

“The crop that’s out there looks really good, the heads are nice and big, it looks like pollination was really good.”

BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

espite inclement weather and legions of lygus bugs, Manitoba’s sunflower crop is looking good this season — at least for now. “So far it’s OK, we’ll see about sclerotinia damage in the next while, I haven’t seen very much head rot yet, but we still have essentially six weeks to go for this crop,” said Anastasia Kubinec, an oilseed specialist with Manitoba Agriculture. “You can do everything right, then get two days of bad weather, and it’s out of your control.” If plants are hit with sclerotinia at the R-5.1 or the R-5.5 stage — the time between when the flower opens and when 50 per cent of the head has been pollinated — they can be treated. But once the plants are past the flowering stage, there is nothing that can be done to fight sclerotinia, she said. “That’s the time when you actually can do something for head rot, but beyond that, if we get a big rainstorm... there is really nothing producers can do,” Kubinec said. “It’s a very frustrating crop that way.” Producers growing confectionery sunflowers were able to spray for Lygus bugs earlier in the season, right at the time of flowering. “ We’re still not 100 per cent sure of the damage they caused, but that was one thing

guys had to look out for,” she said. The other issue has been weather, a combination of wet soil and strong winds has left areas in some fields uprooted. “We’ve actually had a lot of plow wind damage in sunflowers this year, which basically... kind of tips the entire plant over, either right at the roots, or breaks it right close to the roots, and that is just due to the

excess wind and the very quick growing conditions,” she said, adding that all the wet weather has left plants with less developed root system than in drier years. While seeds are still forming on the now horizontal victims of the plow winds, harvesting them with standard equipment would be impossible. “We don’t put the entire plant through the combine, you’re

taking the heads off — so it would be very difficult to pick up those heads that are lying on the ground,” explained Kubinec. Crops insurance isn’t an option for plow wind damage either, at least not in practical terms. “It would count within their production IPI (Individual Productivity Index) that they have with crops insurance, but

the thing about that is that if you have 700 acres of sunflowers and you get a decent yield on 600 acres of them, that other 100 acres just kind of gets averaged in there and it doesn’t really count for anything. It’s not hail, it’s not any sort of extra coverage you can get with that,” she said. Manitoba has seen a decline in sunflower acres this year, despite early predictions of a 100,000-acre crop. Only 70,000 sunflower acres were actually planted this spring, a decline of about 30 per cent from last season. Kubinec said the crop was a 50/50 split between oilseed and confectionery sunflowers. “So acres are down, but hopefully the guys who do have sunflowers have a successful year. It can be an extremely profitable crop, even if it can be a little bit frustrating,” said Kubinec. “But the crop that’s out there looks really good, the heads are nice and big, it looks like pollination was really good.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Testing soybeans in local conditions Researchers at Syngenta’s Elm River research farm are looking at ways Manitoba producers can optimize production methods to get the best value out of their soybean acres BY JENNIFER PAIGE Co-operator staff/Brandon

s more and more western Canadian producers introduce soybeans into their rotation, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered about how to best make them fit. Nobody is exactly sure how to best streamline production and determine ideal planting conditions, according to one seed specialist. “There are a lot of factors when it comes to seeding, seed care, what producers are using to put that bean in, and, of course, the weather,” said Brett Graham, seed care specialist with Syngenta. “So, we are looking at the best way to optimize these factors for growers and really help them get the best value from their seed and seed care.” Syngenta is currently conducting a few different soybean trials at its 160-acre research farm located in Elm River near Portage la Prairie. A trial on Syngenta’s soybean seed treatments, Cruiser Maxx Vibrance Beans has been underway for the past two years. The insecticide and fungicide seed treatment combination is said to offer growers protection from soybean aphids, seed corn maggot, wireworms, European chafer, bean leaf beetle, as well as seed- and soil-borne diseases, including, damping-off, seedling blight, seed rot and early root rot. “There are major phytophthora genes in most of the genetics that are brought to market and that is the disease we see a lot of, especially in the Red River Valley,” Graham said. “On top of genetics, that is where your seed treatments can tie in and really bring your control up to the next level and really help these growers in tough springs where there is a lot of moisture and weather events coming in.” With an on-site disease nursery, Syngenta researchers place the disease into the soil to make sure the pressure is present and then plant the treated seed. “It is basically a way for us to evaluate how effective the treatments are on disease and really get an idea for the advantages. We start with plant counts and of course yield at the end of the season to understand the value,” Graham said. He says phytophthora is the most present disease on the east side of the province. “On the west side you do get some phytophthora but you do get some rhizoctonia showing up as well. They have a lot of canola grown out there and usually minimal till which can help move that disease along,” Graham said. Syngenta will continue looking at Cruiser Maxx Vibrance Beans potential, but says trials from previous years have shown consistent performance under a wide range of adverse growing conditions and has improved yield potential due to better plant stands, root systems, uniformity and plant vigour.

Temperature over date When it comes to the ideal seeding date of soybeans,

Syngenta researchers say the date is not nearly as important as getting the right soil temperature. “When we are doing planting time, what we consider early is below 5°. We considered normal planting time would be 10°,” said Marc Brown, soybean research associate with Syngenta. “We aim for two consecutive days of temperature, which we measure at 10 a.m.” Graham explains that Syngenta has been looking at the productivity of different seeding dates for a number of years but has shifted focus t ow a rd s e a r l y s e e d i n g i n response to a growing trend in the industry. “We have seen a trend in the industry that growers want to seed in sooner. There are some risks associated with that so we are trying to help them understand where the risks are and if they do make that decision,

“On top of genetics, that is where your seed treatments can tie in and really bring your control up to the next level and really help these growers in tough springs where there is a lot of moisture and weather events coming in.” Brett Graham Syngenta

what do they need to look for and be doing to protect that investment in the seed to make sure they will have the best results in the end,” Graham said. This year’s trial saw seeding on April 22 and May 18.

“When you are planting near April 22 you can definitely see a reduction in stand due to a number of factors. Because that seed is sitting in the soil for a few weeks you are a little more susceptible to disease,” Brown said.

According to Brown earlier planting has shown greater lodging, potential for more disease and a higher risk of frost. jennifer.paige@fbcpublishing.com

Richardson cranking up crush at Lethbridge Added equipment and a new receiving system will cost $120 million STAFF

gri-food firm Richardson International plans to spend $120 million to dial up the processing capacity of its canola-crushing plant in southern Alberta by over 55 per cent. Privately held, Winnipegbased Richardson announced Aug. 17 that upgrades at its Lethbridge plant are expected to boost its peak annual crush to over 700,000 tonnes of canola per year, up from its current capacity of 450,000. Richardson telegraphed these upgrades in the spring of 2013 when it pledged to “more than double” the plant’s capacity — which then ran around 1,200 tonnes per day — but it hadn’t yet finalized the scope, design or costs for said upgrades at the time. The $120-million budget announced Aug. 17 includes new

processing equipment installed at the plant last year — part of its 2013 plan to “enhance efficiencies at the facility through upgraded technology and increased automation.” The budget also covers the construction, now underway, of a “modern” high-throughput canola-receiving facility, offering “quick turnaround” for farmers and truckers delivering to the plant, the company said. The new system is expected to be ready to accept deliveries at harvest in the fall of 2017, with capacity for 800 tonnes of canola per hour, which the company said will be a “significant increase” from the system’s peak intake today. Those upgrades will be completed with “minimal to no disruptions, to ensure the Lethbridge facility continues to serve both farm customers and end-use buyers,” the company said.

“Increasing the speed of the receiving plant is a top priority for us to better serve our customers,” Darwin Sobkow, the company’s executive vicepresident for agribusiness and processing operations, said in a release. In all, he said, the capital upgrades at Lethbridge will “create a state-of-the-art facility that is very efficient for its size, positioning us to compete with the most modern canola-crushing facilities in North America.” Expanding Lethbr idge’s crush to over 2,000 tonnes per day, combined with upgrades brought online in 2014 at its Yorkton, Sask. crush plant, boost Richardson’s total crush capacity to over 1.7 million tonnes of canola per year, the company said. The Yorkton plant’s upgrades raised its crushing capacity to about 3,000 tonnes of canola per day.

NFU decries racism following Saskatchewan shooting death

meridianmfg.com

The National Farmers’ Union is calling out racist online remarks following the shooting death of a 22-year-old indigenous man on a farm near Biggar, Sask. Colten Boushie and four friends had been swimming in the South Saskatchewan River that day and were returning to their homes on the Red Pheasant First Nation when a tire blew out. They went to a nearby farmyard, hoping to find help. According to the RCMP, a vehicle with five people entered the property at around 5:30 p.m. They were confronted by the owners and a verbal exchange happened between the parties. A gun was fired at some point, striking Boushie, who had arrived in the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene. In the wake of the shooting, racist remarks began to appear on a Facebook group called “Saskatchewan Farmers” including comments like, “His only mistake was leaving three witnesses.” That group has since been closed. “As farmers, we condemn the rampant racist remarks that have circulated since the death of Colten Boushie, including comments made on the ‘Saskatchewan Farmers’ Facebook group,” the NFU statement read in part. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall added his voice to the chorus of condemnation, calling the remarks “racist and hate filled.” Gerald Stanley, 54, is charged with second-degree murder.

Heritage group creates online cemetery guide A new online guide to local cemeteries will help bring the stories these sites tell to life, say its creators

Shirley Snider, treasurer with the Carman Dufferin Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee holds their new brochure bearing the QR code to public cemeteries. Committee member Ina Bramadat and Nedra Burnett, the group's chairperson, say they hope their new guide sparks interest in local history and the many varied symbols found on headstones.

eople once knew how to “read” those chrysanthemums, empty chairs, logs and other symbols on headstones when they visited cemeteries. It’s a visual language mostly forgotten now. But modern eyes instantly recognize a different symbol — a ‘QR code,’ those tiny blocks of black and white squares are for scanning with smartphones to learn something. Those codes will soon be affixed to cemetery gates and kiosks throughout the RM of Dufferin, as a way for visitors to link to a new online guide. It will help them know not just what those symbols mean, but will bring to life many stories these sites tell, say its creators. The Carman/Dufferin Municipal Heritage Committee has just posted its digital guide to nine local cemeteries, some dating to the late 1890s.

The QR code will help people visiting these sites digitally dig into the history of these places, say its creators. The inspiration for their project was A Guide to Funerar y Art in Manitoba, explains MHAC member Ina Bramadat. It was developed by a rc h i t e c t u ra l h i s t o r i a n David Butterfield, now retired from the provincial Historic Resources Branch, where he documents the shapes, styles, symbolic meanings and materials used for tombstones in cemeteries he visited throughout Manitoba. Br a m a d a t w a s i n s t a n t l y intrigued when she saw it. “I thought, ‘Isn’t this wonderful. These are things I never knew about,’” she said. “And then I thought, ‘Suppose we adapt it and do a little more with it in our own area.’” Their finished guide includes a map to locate each of the public cemeteries, plus links to helping understand the grave markers and designs of each,

and a glossary explaining traditional symbolic meaning of engravings on headstones. The largest cemeter y in the guide is the Greenwood Cemetery in Carman, described in the guide as “a time capsule of local heritage.” It encourages visitors to look more closely at the layout and craftsmanship of the site, as well as the changing trends and styles of the tombstones over time. Some of the near-forgotten cemeteries in the guide include the tiny Îlets de Bois cemetery where some 100 burials took place when it served a Métis community here in the early 1800s. Another small cemetery is the Broad Valley cemetery, where Mennonites settled in the mid-1920s. Many of the 21 headstones there mark the graves of young children. The guide also cites five abandoned burial sites in the RM too. These are located on private property and not accessible to the public.

The MHAC committee members say they hope this inspires more people to visit their local cemeteries and be able “see” so much more in them. “It brings the history out,” says Nedra Burnett, chair of the group. The guide also links to Butterfield's funerary art guide. He put it together because he was fascinated with cemeteries, and the shapes and styles and symbols on headstones. Communities’ cemeteries highlight so many compelling stories of our past and can help us learn more about what was important to our Victorianand Edwardian-era predecessors, he said. They also reflect changing sensibilities. Headstones engravings have become much more personalized over time, he notes. Nowadays you may see images like tractors or a favourite pet or a meaningful saying on them. What the Carman/Dufferin group has done is find an

excellent way to share its communities’ histories and make them much more accessible to the public, Butterfield said. “It’s a model for how other communities can get local people, local kids, visitors, people who have relatives there into the community and appreciate these places,” he said. “These smaller rural ones... you can spend an hour wandering through and it’s just so interesting to explore these places and get a sense of what was kind of going on in these people’s minds 100 years ago.” A Guide to Funerar y Ar t in Manitoba notes more than 30,000 cemeter ies in the province, according to the Manitoba Genealogical Society. Most are small plots containing the remains of a single pioneer family. At least 1,000 are large enough to sustain a high level of community interest. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Prairie fare Let’s get pickled!

This classic food preservation technique isn’t just for excess cucumbers BY GETTY STEWART Home Economist

t’s time to get pickling. While classic crunchy dill pickles probably come to mind, don’t stop there. Just about any fruit or vegetable can be preserved in a vinegar solution with added herbs and spices. Pickled veggies can be enjoyed as an appetizer, light snack or topper to main entrees. What’s a burger without pickles and hot pepper rings? To get you pickling safely this summer, here are some of my favourite recipes and pickling pointers.

Pickling pointers • C hoose quality vegetables — Use blemish-free, firm vegetables for best results. Avoid veggies with a wax coating.

•P ick and preserve right away — The longer vegetables are stored, the softer they become; process within 24 hours of picking. •U se proper ratio of vinegar — Vinegar (minimum five per cent acetic acid) is critical to preventing the growth of harmful pathogens in pickled products. Do not alter the proportion of vinegar in recipes. To cut the acidity, you can safely add sugar to brine (15-30 ml sugar to 1 litre brine). •U se non-iodized salt — Regular table salt contains anti-caking compounds that can turn brine cloudy and discolour vegetables. Use additive-free canning, kosher or pickling salt. •U se soft water — The minerals in hard water may cause discolouration, off-flavours or cloudy brine. If you have hard water, boil the water you use in your brine for 15 minutes and let it stand overnight before using. •P rocess jars in a hot water bath — Heat processing prevents spoilage, colour, flavour and texture loss due to yeast, mould or

enzymes present in vegetables. Processing allows you to store pickled products on the shelf for a year or more. If you choose not to heat process your pickled vegetables, store them in the refrigerator. •A llow to cure — Let pickled vegetables absorb flavours and mellow out for three to four weeks before eating. •U se within one year — While properly heatprocessed pickle jars are safe to eat for many years, the quality, texture and colour of pickled vegetables will deteriorate noticeably after one year. •U se non-reactive cookware — Avoid utensils or cookware made of aluminum, copper or uncoated cast iron that will react with the acid in the vinegar and lead to discolouration and off-flavours. •C ut blossom end of cucumbers — For crispier cucumber pickles, cut three millimetres off the blossom end of cucumbers, to remove the enzyme that can lead to softening.

What will you pickle this summer? Classic Dill Pickles

Homemade Hot Pepper Rings

A small batch of dill pickles that’s quick and easy to make in a large soup pot. Double or quadruple the recipe for larger batches. 3-4 lbs. small pickling cucumbers

We love these spicy rings on burgers, pizzas and sandwiches. Did you know it’s the ribs or inner membrane of hot peppers rather than the seeds that contain most of the heat? You decide whether or not to remove them.

2 c. vinegar

6 c. sliced hot peppers (any variety)

2 c. water 2 tbsp. pickling salt 8 heads dill 8 garlic cloves, peeled 2 tsp. mustard seeds 1 tsp. peppercorns 1/2 tsp. hot pepper flakes

Wash and scrub cucumbers lightly with a soft brush. Cut a thin slice from blossom ends to help prevent softening. Cut wide cucumbers into quarters lengthwise and long cucumbers so they fit in jars. Place in ice water bath while preparing everything else, up to 8 hours for crispy pickles. Fill large pot or canner with water so that jars are covered by 1 inch of water. Check jars for cracks, wash with warm soapy water, rinse well and place in canner. Heat jars in canner (no need to sterilize). In medium-size pot, combine vinegar, water and salt. Bring to boil and simmer 5 minutes. Remove hot jars from canner. Place 2 dill heads, 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp. mustard seeds, 1/4 tsp. peppercorns and 1/8 tsp. hot pepper flakes into each jar. Tightly pack cucumbers into jars to within 3/4 inch of rim. Add hot vinegar brine to cover cucumbers. Use a plastic utensil to remove any air bubbles and add more brine, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rim with clean cloth, seal with hot sealing lid, tighten screw band on top finger tight and process in hot water bath for 10 minutes for pint jars (500 ml) or 15 minutes for quart (1-l) jars. Makes 4 pint (500-ml) jars or 2 quart (1-l) jars. Source: www.gettystewart.com

3-1/2 c. vinegar

Multi-Coloured Pickled Cauliflower

2 c. water

Pickled cauliflower stays firm and can be enjoyed in salads or stir-fries. If using multicoloured cauliflower, can them in separate jars to prevent the colour from bleeding.

2 cloves garlic, quartered

9 c. cauliflower 3 tsp. canning/kosher salt 4-1/2 c. vinegar 1-1/2 c. sugar 1 c. onion, sliced thin 3/4 c. red pepper 1-1/2 tbsp. pickling spice 2-1/2 tsp. celery seed 1 jalapeno (optional)

Prepare canner, lids and boil clean jars for at least 10 minutes. In large pot, add salt to 4 quarts water (or litres) and bring to a boil. As the water is heating, clean and chop the cauliflower. Simmer cauliflower in salt water for 3 minutes (blanch different colours separately). Drain and cool. Combine vinegar, sugar, onion, pepper and spices in large saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat and simmer for 5 minutes. As the brine begins to heat, fill hot jars with cauliflower pieces. Distribute brine and solids in the boiling liquid between the jars leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe rims clean, apply lids and process in hot water bath for 10 minutes. Makes 4 to 5 pint (500-ml) jars Source: www.wellpreserved.ca

2 tbsp. pickling salt 2 tbsp. sugar

Wash and stem hot peppers. Remove seeds and inner membranes as desired. Slice peppers into even 1/4-inch-thick slices. (Wear gloves to keep your fingers from stinging.) Fill large pot or canner with water so that jars are covered by 1 inch of water. Check jars for cracks, wash with warm soapy water, rinse well and place in canner. Heat jars in canner (no need to sterilize). Mix vinegar, water, salt and sugar in non-reactive saucepan and boil for 1 minute. Place 1/4 clove of garlic in each jar and pack with pepper rings. Pour hot vinegar brine over peppers. Remove air bubbles and push peppers underneath pickling liquid as much as possible, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe rim with clean cloth, seal with hot sealing lid, tighten screw band on top finger tight and process in hot water bath for 10 minutes.

Running a dogsled business Couple offers the experience in Churchill as well as Asessippi By Joan Airey

Gerald’s formal education was to be a social worker but he chose to return to the North.

Freelance contributor

any people would like to experience a dogsled ride, so 15 years ago Gerald Azure decided to make that possible for those visiting Churchill during whale, polar bear and northern lightwatching seasons. One of his first customers was Jenafor, an X-ray and ultrasound technologist from B.C., who was filling in at Churchill for six weeks. Little did she know that her first ride would lead to a life helping run a dogsled business. Gerald grew up on a trapline near Cormorant, Man., a Métis settlement north of The Pas with his 10 siblings and parents. The dogsled was their main transportation until the 1970s when the snowmobile became available. “You do not mistreat dogs you earn their respect. If you need to discipline them you do it the way their mother would,” said Gerald. In the dog yard each dog has its own house, and all are eager for their turn to take a customer on a two-mile sled ride. When it’s warm they are given a rest after one mile. Gerald has no reins to the dogs and controls them only with a gentle voice. The sled is one he designed for summer use with wheels instead of runners, and as soon as the dogs are back in the yard they are watered and returned to their

houses so they can cool off in the shade. His dogs are treated with the respect a good horse person would their horse. “The cost of caring for dogs in the North is expensive compared to southern Manitoba. A bag of dog food you pay $50 for down south we pay over $100 for in Churchill and $35 for a small square of straw up here because of the cost of transportation. The straw is used for bedding for the dogs,” said Jenafor. In 2006 an acquaintance in Churchill convinced them to

purchase his bed and breakfast which they renamed Blue Sky Bed and Sled, where guests are given a hearty breakfast each morning before they set out on their ventures. “We pick over 100 lbs. of lingonberries and the same amount of other wild berries to make cookies and other desserts, and also black crow berries to make jelly. We always take Sony our bear dog along to warn us if a polar bear is approaching because a dog will sense a bear long before we will notice one,” said Jenafor.

“We were invited to move our operation to Asessippi in 2015 to give sled rides on snow which isn’t available in tourist season in the North. We loaded our dogs into a boxcar along with our belongings at the beginning of December and returned to Churchill at the end of ski season. Trails had to be designed at Asessippi for the rides and we set up a dog yard and pitched a tent there to live in for the months we were in southern Manitoba,” said Jenafor. “At home we offer two-mile rides, half-day and full-day

sled tours. At Asessippi we offer shorter rides for schools with an educational component. A standard dogsled has eight dogs to pull it and we have four dog teams with us,” said Gerald.

‘Traveller’s Joy’ clematis

This hardy plant is easy to grow producing clusters of delicate flowers having a light almond scent Its twining stems can reach lengths of six metres, so it is a useful plant to grow on arbours, trellises and over gateway arches.

By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

ometimes a particular plant is a true joy, and one such plant in my garden is aptly named “Traveller’s Joy.” It is a hardy clematis thought to be a cross between C. lingusticifolia and C. virginiana. It is one of many, along with the well-known C. alpine and C. macropetala varieties, that produce bloom on old wood. They do not die back in the winter but rather leaf out and produce flower buds on old wood. The only time these plants are cut back is to keep them in bounds; their long stems will be alive to the very tips at the end of even the coldest winter. The C. alpine and C. macropetala clematis begin to bloom in late May and produce an abundance of small flowers that are bell shaped and form a colourful coating over the mass of foliage that these plants produce. They are most commonly grown on sturdy fences and arbours upwards of eight feet tall. My attraction to “Traveller’s Joy” is that it has a different bloom time; it comes into bloom in early August. It is a fall bloomer. “Traveller’s Joy” has the same finely cut foliage as other hardy clematis and

it is extremely hardy — some rate it as Zone 1. Its twining stems can reach lengths of six metres, so it is a useful plant to grow on arbours, trellises and over gateway arches. I have mine planted beside one side of a wooden gate and it winds its way over the eightfoot wooden archway over the gate and down to the gate on the other side.

The blooms of “Traveller’s Joy” are more delicate than those of other hardy clematis — they are not bell shaped but small single flowers that fully open up. They are produced in clusters and each cluster contains many flowers with a delightful light almond scent. They can be used as filler in flower designs as they hold up well as a cut flower. I have seen “Traveller’s Joy” grown on a shorter support system where it takes on the appearance of a large shrub as the stems intertwine over the support, and when in bloom, provides a mass of foliage and flowers. “Traveller’s Joy,” like other hardy clematis, is an easy plant to grow. It is undemanding of soil and seems to be

quite resistant to drought. It requires no fertilizer and does well in full sun or semi-shade. The amount of bloom will be less as the amount of direct sunlight the plant receives is decreased. No pests seem to bother these plants when they are grown in Prairie gardens and the heavy canopy provides good refuge for nesting birds. The leaves do not always drop off in the fall so they can appear quite substantial in the landscape during the winter and early spring until the new leaves finally cover the old brown leaves. A nice combination is to plant a “Traveller’s Joy” and one of the C. alpine, such as “Blue Boy” in the same spot. The C. alpine will bloom in May and June, and sporadically produce blooms during the summer, and then in early August the “Traveller’s Joy” will burst into bloom. The two plants seem to be quite compatible and their long stems will intertwine so they appear as a single plant. “Traveller’s Joy” is indeed a joy to have in my garden. Perhaps you will add this lovely fall-flowering perennial vine to your landscape — and experience the joy of seeing it produce its lovely, fragrant white flowers in your garden.

A fond farewell

READERS’ PHOTOS

By Connie Oliver Freelance contributor

fter almost a decade of writing this monthly column I must bid you farewell. I have loved every minute of sharing ideas with you each month and I will miss it tremendously but am on to new adventures. We’ve covered a lot of ground over the years. From Country to Retro we’ve been through many styles and looks and have touched on everything from paint colours to flooring. I’ve enjoyed learning and evolving with each of you as styles and colours changed over the years. You’ve been there through some of my renos and redecorating projects and I feel that you are part of my circle of friends. Thanks for coming along for that ride. I’ve enjoyed getting emails from some of you either looking for advice or sharing your experiences and triumphs. I’ve met a lot of great people over the years who have opened up their homes to my readers and me and allowed us a glimpse into their private spaces. I thank them for sharing their experiences, which inspired us to make our own spaces beautiful. Thanks to the Co-operator for taking a chance on an unknown local writer those many years ago and letting me hang around so long. It’s quite a feat for a freelancer to have staying power like that and I owe that in big part to it. I am proud to have been a part of this local paper. Thanks to my husband who is my biggest fan. He did much of the work on those renos men-

tioned above and didn’t get a lot of credit for it. He’s been my sometimes photographer, chauffeur and proofreader. He’s my hero. We plan to do a lot of travelling now that we’re retired. We have such a lovely country to explore and want to see it from coast to coast. I’m looking forward to our new adventures. I can’t go without giving you at least one more bit of advice, which is to keep your décor evolving. I think that the home is so important in our lives. It’s our place to recoup and revive, to nurture and grow and to make memories. It needs to be as beautiful and comfortable as we can make it.

This Old Elevator

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

This 50,000-bushel elevator in Oakburn, on the CNR Rossburn Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Yellowhead was built in 1965 by Manitoba Pool Elevators. Its 22-bin crib annex, constructed 15 years earlier beside a smaller elevator that has since been demolished, was enlarged by 36,000 bushels in 1967. The facility was closed in April 1996 when the adjacent railway line was abandoned and it was sold by tender. The annex now has a large hole halfway up on its north side. Photo: Jean McManus (2015)

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

Chance of showers to start, then dry Issued: Monday, August 22, 2016 · Covering: August 24 – August 31, 2016 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

s summer slowly winds down, most regions felt the first little hints of autumn last weekend, as overnight lows dropped into the 5 C range. For this forecast period it looks like summer is going to continue to hang around. That means we’ll probably end up seeing a few hot days, the odd day with some showers or thunderstorms, then a couple of seasonable days, since that is what our summer has been like this year. This forecast period begins with an area of low pressure cutting through central Manitoba that will bring showers to most regions. The best chance of significant rains will be in central and northern areas, with extreme southern regions staying mostly dry. This low should pull out fairly quickly and we’ll see a return to sunshine on Thursday as high pressure moves in. This high will follow in the footsteps of the low and quickly move off to the southeast by Friday. Sunshine early on Friday will

give way to a mix of sun and clouds later in the day as a weak system moves through. Low pressure will then develop and deepen to our west over the weekend. This will put us in a southerly flow over the weekend, giving us plenty of sunshine along with daytime highs in the mid- to upper 20s and overnight lows in the mid-teens. This low is forecast to track well to our north, but confidence in this part of the forecast is not that high. There is a slight chance for some thunderstorms late Sunday as a weak cold front pushes through when the low slides by to our northeast. High pressure looks to build back in for the start of next week, bringing more sunshine and dry weather. Temperatures will be seasonable, with daytime highs expected to be in the low to mid-20s and overnight lows in the 8 to 12 C range. Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 18 to 28 C; lows, 5 to 16 C. Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies so far this growing season (April 1 – Aug. 17). With the exception of the High Level region in northern Alberta, nearly everyone has seen at least 200 mm of precipitation, with a good portion of the Prairies seeing over 300 mm. Extreme southern Manitoba, along with southwestern Saskatchewan and part of southeastern Alberta, have received amounts in the 400- to 550-mm range.

July 2016 was record warm despite predictions Arctic sea ice right now is around its third-lowest level on record BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

he first fall forecast is out and according to that, fall is looking to be fairly cool across the Canadian Prairies — but that is only one forecast. The rest of the forecasts for the coming fall should be out soon, so I’ll write a full fall forecast sometime in the next couple of weeks. Until then I thought it was time to once again look at what’s been happening weather-wise across the globe over the last month or two. Let’s start off looking at the Poles. As you may or may not know, those who understand what is going on with our world’s climate have been looking to the Arctic as an early indicator of the extent of global warming. Others, who are convinced that the current warming that the planet is experiencing has nothing to do with humans, have been pointing to the Antarctic to support their views. While I’m not going to once again dive into the differences between these two regions, I will take a look at what has been happening so far in the Arctic summer and the Antarctic winter. The National Centre for

… it would almost take record-breaking global cold weather between now and the end of the year to prevent 2016 from being the warmest year on record.

Snow and Ice (NCSI) is based in the University of Colorado, falls under the umbrella of NOAA and NASA, and has served at the forefront of cryospheric data management practices since 1976. For some people this just means it is a government agency that spews forth false data to push whatever agenda they don’t like. Personally, in this day and age, where raw data is being made available to anyone who wants to look at it, I can’t see how any big agency such as this can put forth false information and get away with it. By the way, no, I don’t believe that global warming is a big hoax and that all of the data is fabricated, as some who have emailed me recently seem to think. That said, do keep your questions coming. Anyway, according to the NCSI, current sea ice levels in the Arctic are at about 5.5 million square kilometres, a lit-

tle more than two standard deviations below the average of about seven million square km. This is around the thirdlowest level on record for this time of the year, but unless we see a large late-season melt, it doesn’t look like we’ll beat the record low of 3.4 million that occurred in 2012. Latest projections put this year’s minimum at around 4.3 million square km. The Northwest Passage is now open, while the Northeast Passage is still ice clogged. In the Southern Hemisphere, the maximum sea ice extent around Antarctica is approaching its maximum, and so far the amount of ice in this region has been right around average. On a s i m i l a r ye t d i f f e re n t n o t e, t h e g l o b a l Ju l y temperature records are in and were kind of surprising. With El Niño coming to an end a couple of months ago,

and a weak La Niña developing, it was looking like the string of record-breaking global monthly temperatures would be coming to an end in July, but this didn’t happen. According to both NOAA and NASA, July 2016 was the warmest July since accurate recordkeeping began in 1880. NOAA stated the mean July global temperature was 0.87 C above average, which beat out last July by 0.06 C. For those of you who prefer the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s values for the lower eight km of the atmosphere, it reported the second-warmest July in its database. This is the 15th straight month of recordbreaking global temperatures, according to NOAA, but with the advent of the cooler La Niña conditions across the Pacific, the chances of further consecutive months of recordbreaking temperatures are low. Even still, it would almost take record-breaking global cold weather between now and the end of the year to prevent 2016 from being the warmest year on record. I have to add a personal observation in here about this global heat. Some people have a hard time seeing or understanding what is happening globally when they don’t

see the same thing happening locally. I have to admit, I for one have been talking the big talk about a summer heat wave that will rival or even beat the infamous heat waves of the 1930s, yet once again, we saw a summer with only near-average temperatures and no big heat waves. Well, that is weather; things happen on short time scales. To understand what is going on with the climate you have to take a bigger look at things. For example, I spent some time this summer in the mountains of southern Alberta and B.C. and two things tied into climate change jumped out at me. The first one was when I was in Kananaskis and asked about a hike to the southernmost glacier in Alberta; the reply was that it was a good hike but they didn’t think the glacier was there anymore. Then I hiked up to Stanley Glacier. It was also a really nice hike with a great view of the glacier up near the top of the mountain. Then we bumped into a couple who had done the hike 20 to 30 years ago and who pointed out that back then, you could walk right up to the glacier. I’m just not sure what it will take to wake some people up about what is happening to our planet.

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!
