F

ive Manitoba commodity groups have signed a deal to spend the next year working towards a merger.

The Manitoba Corn Growers Association (MCGA), Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers Association (MPSG), Manitoba Flax Growers Association (MFGA), National Sunflower Association of Canada (NSAC) and the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Association (MWBGA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that took effect May 1 and runs until April 30, 2018.

“The MOU is a more formalized approach to going forward to maximizing profitability and sustainability for Manitoba farmers,” Pam de Rocquigny, who was recently hired as general manager of both the MWBGA and MCGA, said in an interview May 3. “We all recognize that we have a common grower base and we all have similar organization activities, so where can we find those efficiencies so we provide more value to our

a n a d a Tra n s p o r t a t i o n Ac t amendments will be introduced this spring before the House of Commons rises — but the grain industry is concerned key temporary provision may expire before legislation is passed.

The confirmation came after a query to Transport Minister Marc Garneau’s office.

“Minister Garneau is committed to introducing legislation this spring,” Marc Roy, Garneau’s director of communications said in a telephone interview May 5.

Garneau promised the legislation last Nov. 3 while speaking to the Montreal Chamber of Commerce.

Back then he said the proposed legislation will establish reciprocal penalties between shippers and railways in service level agreements, better define adequate and suitable rail service, improve access to the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) and improve the timeliness of CTA decisions. Garneau also said the government would “address the future of the maximum revenue entitlement and extended interswitching.”

Grain farmers and shippers praised the announcement, but many worry the amendments won’t be law before regulations to help grain shippers under the Fair Rail for Farmers Act (Bill C-30) expire Aug. 1. The House of Commons breaks June 23 and MPs won’t return until Sept. 18.

That’s why the Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC), Western Grail Elevators Associations ( WGEA) and Crop Logistics Working Group are asking Ottawa to extend C-30 in the interim.

“We appreciate the government’s commitment to introduce legisla-

tion that will ensure a more responsive, competitive and accountable rail system in Canada,” AWC chair Kevin Auch said in the release May 5. “But the current railway accountability measures (in place under C-30) must stay in place in the meantime. This will ensure we avoid a repeat of the transportation backlog that cost farmers billions of dollars in lost revenue during the fall and winter of 2013.”

Bill C-30, passed in 2014 to tackle a huge backlog in grain shipments,

extended interswitching distances to 160 km from 30 km to encourage railway competition. It also set a minimum volume of grain movement railways had to move every week, or face fines.

Interswitching allows a railway within 160 km of another railway to access traffic on the other railway’s line and is intended to stimulate railway competition.

hickens were domesticated from Asian jungle fowl around 6,000 years ago, but these early birds didn’t look much like the chickens of today.

They didn’t look the same, they were more agressive and they laid fewer eggs less often.

At some point this all began to change, but until recently researchers have never really understood when or why.

Now, an international team of scientists has combined DNA data from archeological chicken bones with statistical modelling to pinpoint when these traits started to increase in frequency, revealing interesting correlations.

“The problem has always been to link genetic evolution to potential causes. We now have timings that are precise enough to correlate them with ecological and cultural shifts,” says Liisa Loog, the first author of the study.

They found that this happened in High Middle Ages, around 1000 AD. Intriguingly these strong selection pressures coincided with increasing urbanization and Christian edicts that enforced fasting and the exclusion of four-legged animals from the menu.

Could medieval religious rules have increased the demand for poultry and thereby altered chicken evolution?

“With our new method we see that the time of selection coincides with an increase in the amount of chicken bones in the archeologi-

cal records across Northern Europe,” said coauthor Anders Eriksson.

That also coincides with several cultural and social changes, including a general increase in the popularity of Christian beliefs, new religious dietary rules and increase in urbanization which favoured traits that mean that animals could be kept in small spaces, Eriksson said.

Ground about to break in Killarney on HyLife feed mill Killarney will be the home of the newest HyLife feed mill after municipal council approved the site for building in mid-April

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

F

arm-to-fork pork producer HyLife has cleared the final hurdle before construction begins on a proposed feed mill in Killarney, Man. this month.

T h e K i l l a r n e y - Tu r t l e Mountain municipal council unanimously approved a conditional use order April 19, allowing the mill to be built in the northeast end of the community.

“We’ve been working with HyLife probably for the last six months on this,” Mayor Rick Pauls said. “We’re very pleased that it chose our community to build this in and we’re looking forward to the economic spinoff that it’s going to provide for us all here.”

According to HyLife president Claude Vielfaure, the community located 100 kilometres southeast of Brandon was chosen due to the large number of HyLife-run barns already in the area. The company produces about 1.69 million hogs annually, according to its website.

The Killarney mill is expected to create 20 jobs. Pauls further noted that the addition will not jeopardize current feed mill companies in Killarney, since the mill will be targeted for HyLife’s internal use.

“This is just a net win for us,” he said.

With an expected capacity 250,000 tonnes of feed per year, the mill will resemble the 12,800-square-foot facility

“We’re very pleased that it chose our community to build this in and we’re looking forward to the economic spinoff that it’s going to provide for us all here.”

Rick Pauls Killarney-Turtle Mountain mayor

opened in eastern Manitoba last year in the RM of Hanover, Vielfaure said.

The feed mill is part of HyLife’s ongoing expansion. In October 2016, the company announced $125 million in investment, starting with a 130,000-squarefoot expansion of its Neepawa processing plant.

“With that, we needed more pigs, so we also are building the feed mill out of western Manitoba and then we plan to build some pig barns to also be able to bring more pigs to our plant,” Vielfaure said.

At the time of the 2016 announcement, Vielfaure said the expansion would increase technological sophistication of the plant and address growing congestion concerns.

Work has since begun on the project, which is expected to be complete in March 2018.

HyLife is also exploring potential locations for its new barns, although Vielfaure said no decisions have been made.

A HyLife truck sits by the company’s current office in Killarney. The community will soon be home to HyLife’s newest feed mill.

“We’re defining the location right now,” he said. “We’re working hard on that and trying, obviously, to find the best location to build these barns.”

The mill will be the company’s sixth. The aggressive expansion has been welcomed by the Manitoba Pork Council.

“We’re very pleased that one of our members is excited to make a very significant investment in the industr y and it’s encouraging to others,” Andrew Dickson, Manitoba Pork Council’s general manager said. “It shows they’re prepared to put their money where their mouth is and invest

in the industry and we’ve got other producers coming to us and wanting to do the same thing and so we’re pleased that this is happening in western Manitoba. Local producers in the area should be pleased that there is going to be a major user of feed grains that is going to be opening up a new plant and it will be a big benefit to western Manitoba.”

The expansion will likely also mean increased revenue for the council, which earns an 80-cent levy for every pig finished in the province. Dickson has said that any additional money would be spent in accordance to the

Manitoba Pork Council marketing plan.

“The marketing plan that is approved by the province is very specific about where we spend our money and that includes spending money on developing the industry, supporting initiatives that would enhance the development of the industry, supporting research and promotion of the product,” he said.

Pauls said that three area residents attended the public hearing April 19 for clarification on the project, but offered no objections at the time of the vote. astockford@farmmedia.com

KAP alleges poor rail service in southwest Manitoba However, the grain monitor says on the whole grain movement this crop year has been decent

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff / Portage la Prairie

R

ail service for grain in southwestern Manitoba has been bad in recent months, Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) president Dan Mazier said during the farm group’s advisory council here April 20.

“I understand from talking to Manitoba producers that in some areas grain shipping is as bad as 2013-14,” Mazier said in his opening address. “Some elevators hadn’t seen a rail car since Christmas, and now the roads are flooded so it’s impossible for many farmers to deliver to their elevators.”

That was confirmed by Boissevain farmer Clifford McCallum.

“Boissevain (which is served

by CP Rail) had one train on Boxing Day and they were supposed to get one on April 9,” McCallum said. “It came on the 10th. But that is all the rail movement Boissevain has had.

Now they are supposed to get

a train, but roads are washed out and people can’t get in their yards. So there should be something done so they can move grain in the wintertime.”

Minto farmer Bill Campbell said he signed a contract to deliver grain in January but hadn’t been able to as of April 20.

“We need to keep lobbying and try to get it fixed,” he said.

A Foxwarren farmer said he had a contract to deliver grain to a buyer on a CP Rail line in February. Because of the lack of service he trucked the grain, at his own cost, to a buyer on the CN Rail line near Brandon.

Souris farmer Walt Findlay said some of the fault lies with grain companies. When cars are allocated grain companies pick which elevators get them, he said.

“This is not just a CP Rail problem,” he said.

Findlay also said he has heard the railways want to ship Manitoba grain east and might have been waiting for Port of Thunder Bay to open this spring.

“I understand from talking to Manitoba producers that in some areas grain shipping is as bad as 2013-14.”

Dan Mazier

KAP delegates passed a resolution calling on the federal government to review CP Rail’s performance in Manitoba.

KAP is also hoping for some relief through amendments to the Canada Transportation Act promised by the federal government expected to be tabled in June.

“This poor rail service is really frustrating,” Mazier said in an interview May 1.

“The grain needs to get moved in the winter before floods and road restrictions.

“I can’t get over how farmers can sign a contract to deliver in December and still not have months later.”

C P R a i l h a s d e l i v e re d numerous trains to southwestern Manitoba since December, Jeremy Berry, CP Rail’s director of media relations, said in an email April 28.

“The grain companies themselves decide how and where their dedicated train sets will be used,” he wrote. “That said, the Port of Thunder Bay winter closure may have played a role

in more infrequent service.

The individual customers are encouraged to call their local grain company or CP and we can look into their concerns.”

Overall, western Canadian grain has been moving well this crop year, says Mark Hemmes, the president of Quorum Corporation, which monitors grain shipping for the federal government. While CP Rail’s performance hasn’t been as strong as CN Rail’s, it’s much better than in 2013-14, he said.

The Western Grain Elevator Association ( WGEA), which represents the West’s major grain companies, agrees.

“Overall we are getting pretty decent service — excellent service from CN and good service from CP,” WGEA executive director Wade Sobkowich, said in an interview April 27.

“But that’s the problem with averages, there’s always a range. I don’t doubt there are elevators struggling to get rail cars from time to time.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Pigs and protests

A

ny changes to the rules governing the operation, permitting or construction of hog barns in Manitoba are always going to be controversial.

This is a well-worn debate with both sides set to battle over perceived risks to the environment or the industry, depending on the advocate’s point of view.

What is a little surprising is how Gord Gilmour quickly the debate seems to be flaring Editor up again in the face of a handful of proposed changes.

Already the industry’s old foe, HogWatch, has reformed and expressed concern over recent developments. Just this weekend a pair of anti-animal agriculture activists penned a rather onesided and alarmist call to action on the website Huffington Post (Bill would set Manitoba’s animal protections back by a decade, Twyla Francois, Olivier Berreville).

Both are longtime animal rights activists and their opposition to the relaxation of the construction moratorium should come as no surprise. But what should be a bit alarming is the way the article was being touted online and through social media later that weekend by many less committed, but still interested, readers in Winnipeg.

Just to recap, the hog industry grew rapidly following the death of the Crow rate in the 1990s. That change was supposed to make feed grains cheaper and give the region a competitive advantage in livestock production.

In reality, that advantage was short lived because in the absence of subsidized export freight, many farmers simply stopped growing barley. Hog farmers found it more cost effective to import corn from the U.S. The low Canadian dollar was the industry’s main competitive advantage.

At any rate, production surged to eight million hogs annually.

Many celebrated the growth while others fretted about the environmental impact. Just over 10 years ago, in the wake of a Clean Environment Commission report that raised questions about the industry’s sustainability, the NDP government of the day announced a limited moratorium on new applications to build barns in the province. In 2011 it went even further, announcing a total ban.

The government was rethinking that policy when it was voted out of office in 2015.

Now under a Progressive Conservative government, the ban is set to be lifted and the industry, just like its opponents, is ready to respond.

They point out the industry has significant room — and need — for expansion. They also note many of the existing barns are nearing the end of their useful lifespan and need to be replaced.

Seemingly, this sets the stage for yet another round of lessthan-helpful conflict.

This discussion shouldn’t be left to the radical viewpoints.

On one side are some activists who likely won’t be happy until animal agriculture is a thing of the past. On the other, are some who won’t be pleased with anything short of a regulatory footprint so light it allows hog barns to be built on floating platforms in the middle of Lake Winnipeg.

Here are some facts to keep in mind.

No one is well served by an unmitigated environmental disaster. Industry expansion must be done in a manner that doesn’t externalize costs to the environment. While it can’t be blamed entirely for Lake Winnipeg’s phosphorus problems, the industry did face phosphorus management issues.

However, hogs and other livestock are an important facet of agriculture. In addition to being a significant contributor to the Manitoba economy, they recycle nutrients, some of which are non-renewable.

Lake Winnipeg has a well-documented phosphorus problem.

Also well documented is the fact everyone living in the area which drains into the lake contributes to that problem. This includes crop production, livestock, industry and urban residents. Even HogWatch leader Vicki Burns stipulated this fact during a recent interview with a Co-operator reporter published last week, noting the City of Winnipeg is a major contributor to the phosphorus load.

If it’s a shared problem; it’s going to require a shared solution.

In the case of crop agriculture, that’s going to mean taking care with nutrient applications and following the 4 Rs of good stewardship. For livestock producers it means continuing to follow good manure application strategies and siting barns in the least environmentally sensitive areas possible.

In the case of cities and towns, it’s going to mean a number of behavioural changes too. Most important will be to stop sending the phosphorus produced by cities into water courses, and instead recycling those important plant nutrients to everyone’s benefits.

The simple truth is anyone who lives, eats, works, raises crops or animals or even so much as flushes a toilet in this drainage system bears some responsibility for the problem — and the solution. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Pig trial a PR disaster for industry

BY JOHN GREIG Glacier FarmMedia

I

t was never going to end well for animal agriculture.

When a farmer called the police after a protester fed a pig on a truck some water at a stoplight, it started a process that has been absurd and head shaking.

The process came to an end May 4 with the acquittal of Anita Frajnc, professional pig protester.

It’s a case that never should have got to trial — it was an unwinnable mischief charge — but it did and gave animal rights campaigners the biggest public platform they’ve ever had in Canada.

In the public relations world, they talk about ‘earned media,’ the number of stories you get on a topic that are positive to your area of interest. The animal rights people won this one by a landslide.

The question the animal agriculture world needs to ask itself is how it can keep from giving people bent on destroying their way of life such a pulpit again.

Perhaps someone should have had a stiff chat with the farmer, Van Boekel Farms, and laid it out. Maybe someone did. But once the wheels of the justice system are in motion, they grind on. I am sure the farmer’s frustration level was significant. He testified that his concern was around the safety of the food supply and for the people who too often crowd around his trucks.

“I don’t see what we could have done,” says Bruce Kelly, program manager with Farm & Food Care Ontario. “It wasn’t about us. We were bystanders trying to support the farmer.

As agriculture groups we had no ability to present evidence.

OUR HISTORY:

T

“The farmer felt his drivers were being harassed. He then went to police for support and what ensued, ensued.”

Kelly is right. The court system is about the victim being given the chance to prove their innocence. In this case, one had to wonder if the defence attorneys were even trying to prevent the conviction of their client on the mischief charge. Instead of working to prove her innocence, they used their time in court to push their agenda of the elimination of livestock farming.

In his decision, Judge David Harris dissected most of Frajnc’s witnesses. Some he said he wished he had never let on the stand.

Others he said even contradicted Frajnc’s own testimony. The judge should be commended for his patience, thoughtfulness and sense of humour in handling this case. He lamented that while his courtroom was jammed for a mischief trial, the murder trial next door was empty.

The trial did give animal agriculture a chance to tell a food safety story, but that’s a technical story and doesn’t match the power of the platform given activists or their emotional arguments.

“We see this as a very limited case, one person on a sidewalk in Burlington,” says Ontario Pork chair Eric Schwindt. “As the judge stated, the trucker did everything correctly and the pigs were dealt with humanely and safely.”

However, with blanket media coverage of the trial and the opinion pieces and media panels the case spawned, the public and media did not see it as limited. Animal rights activists see it as a watershed moment, the next step in their revolution.

The case was a gift and it was given to them.

The facility is now used by the Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiative.

According to a story below the photo, they weren’t finding much moisture. Manitoba Agriculture reported “dry to very dry” conditions for annual crops and forage across the province, and it advised farmers to minimize tillage to preserve moisture, and seeding directly into stubble if possible. A table showed the amount of residue left by different tillage implements.

Trade issues dominated the front page that week. The federal government had issued a notice allowing imports of packaged bees from the U.S., despite objections from provincial beekeeper associations and the Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists, who were concerned about importing varroa mites.

There was yet another chapter in what was described as an “endless dispute” over U.S. duties on Canadian hogs — a binational panel was formed to review on the legality of duties imposed in 1989-90.

We also reported that a last-minute agreement between governments and growers would allow planting of Manitoba’s 1993 sugar beet crop.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

El Niño conditions are developing in the Pacific We know La Niña and El Niño both have an effect on weather — but predicting it is still a real challenge

BY JOHN KEMP Reuters

E

Letters

l Niño conditions are developing across the Pacific with an increasing probability that a full-fledged El Niño episode will occur during the second half of 2017.

Pacific equatorial winds have slackened since the start of the year and a characteristic tongue of warm water has begun to form stretching from Peru towards the international dateline.

Both are consistent with the development of El Niño and are likely to strengthen during the second and third quarters.

The U.S. government’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) last month forecast El Niño conditions would prevail by the end of the Northern Hemisphere summer, but put the probability at only 50 per cent.

Most El Niño indicators have strengthened since then so the probability is likely to be revised higher when the CPC issues its next forecast later in May. But the strength of any future El Niño remains highly uncertain as does its impact on temperatures and precipitation across North America this winter.

El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO) describe closely linked oceanic and atmospheric processes that stretch across the Pacific and the neighbouring maritime continent of Southeast Asia.

The oceanic component sees cold water well up from the deep ocean off the coast of Peru and move west across

In support of supply management In Canada I believe supply management has done a lot of good for Canadian dairy farmers. Now they get a good price for their milk so they get a good return for all the labour they put into their dairy farms. They often work long days, such as 10 or 12 hours a day. It is a lot of work to run a dairy and to put up all the feed in summer when the weather does not always co-operate.

We certainly don’t want a collective farm system like they had in Russia for many years, which was a total failure.

In the United States, the price of milk was so low that some dairies had to give up because they could not meet their expenses.

I don’t think the government should run the farming in Canada. It should be the farmers themselves. Or the farmers could form a co-op.

Let’s support our dairy farmers and be glad we can buy good wholesome milk.

Anybody who earns a good wage can afford to buy milk, eggs and poultry and pay a good price for it.

Joseph Penner Elma, Man.

El Niño and La Niña episodes vary enormously in their intensity.

The winter of 2015-16 saw an unusually intense El Niño but it was followed by a very weak La Niña episode in 2016-17.

the Pacific carried on the surface equatorial current.

There is a return flow of warm water eastwards across the Pacific on countercurrents to the north and south of the equator and also on an equatorial undercurrent deeper in the ocean.

The atmospheric component sees warm, moist air rise over the maritime continent and western Pacific, then flow east through the upper atmosphere towards South America.

The air cools and sinks over the colder waters off South America, before returning towards Asia in a steady westward flow known to mariners as the trade winds.

The oceanic and atmospheric circulations are coupled, with the equatorial winds helping drive the surface equatorial current, and sea surface temperature differentials reinforcing the rising and falling air columns.

But the strength of the circulations and the degree of coupling varies at seasonal, annual and inter-annual scales.

When the circulations are particularly strong and tightly coupled, the equatorial winds accelerate, the equatorial current picks up and colder-than-average water is carried farther from the Peru coast towards the dateline.

When the circulations are weak and uncoupled, the winds slacken, the current slows and warmer-than-normal water extends from Peru to the dateline.

The stronger, cooler phase of this cycle is termed La Niña while the weaker, warmer phase of the cycle is El Niño.

The atmospheric and oceanic circulations that lie at the heart of ENSO involve very large thermal masses of air and water which means they exhibit a lot of short-term persistence.

The short-term stability (especially the thermal stability of the ocean) makes the ENSO cycle somewhat forecastable.

The trickiest time of year to make forecasts is during the first quarter of the year when ENSO effects are weakening and the possibility of a phase transition (from El Niño to La Niña or vice versa) is greatest.

While forecasters have had a fair amount of success in predicting phase shifts in ENSO, forecasting the strength of an El Niño or La Niña episode has proved much harder.

El Niño and La Niña episodes vary enormously in their intensity. The winter of 2015-16 saw an unusually intense El Niño but it was followed by a very weak La Niña episode in 2016-17.

ENSO has a major impact on temperatures and rainfall around the Pacific and Indian basins and a smaller impact on the Atlantic basin.

But the main effects are felt within the tropics, with a much more limited effect on weather outside the tropics in the mid-latitudes.

Researchers have found links between ENSO and temperatures and precipitation in some parts of North America owing to its impact on the position of the Pacific and polar jet streams.

ENSO’s impact on North America tends to be regional rather than national. Higher temperatures in some areas are offset by lower ones in others.

El Niño tends to be associated with a warmer-than-normal winter in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada, and a colder and wetter winter in the U.S. Southwest and Southeast.

La Niña tends to bring colder and wetter weather to the Pacific Northwest but dry and warm conditions to the U.S. Southeast and U.S. Southwest.

If El Niño develops later this year it should bring warmer temperatures to Washington state and neighbouring areas but colder, wetter weather to a belt of southern states stretching from California through Texas to Florida.

The exact impact depends critically on the strength of the El Niño phase and its interaction with nearer atmospheric and oceanic circulations, which remain impossible to predict this far out.

Recently, while accompanying newly minted Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue to an elementary school in Leesburg, Va., Senate Ag Committee chairman Pat Roberts, a Kansas Republican, endorsed Perdue’s swift action to “slow down” implementation of the nutritional — and controversial — school lunch standards promoted by former first lady Michelle Obama.

Said Roberts to his fourth-grader lunch mates, “Try eating a biscuit made with whole grains. It just doesn’t work!”

Secretary Perdue agreed, telling nearby reporters, “I wouldn’t be as big as I am today without chocolate milk.”

You can all but hear the conversations around Leesburg dinner tables that night, right?

Mother: “Eat your broccoli, son, it’s good for you.”

Son: “But, Mom, an old guy with glasses, a salesman or a senator or something, told me at lunch that I

should eat biscuits and then a round guy — he said he was a used DA or USDA or whatever — gave me a glass of chocolate milk and told me I could be big like him if I drink it every day!”

Mother: “What have I told you about making up nonsense? Eat your broccoli!”

So it goes in post-truth politics, where the new normal is two grandfatherly politicians dispensing personal nutrition advice and partisan political retribution to an audience of 10-yearolds who just want to go to recess.

It wasn’t much different back on Capitol Hill that day as both Republicans and Democrats claimed victory after a funding deal was announced to keep the federal government open through Sept. 30.

No one, of course, dared to mention that the deal covered just the five remaining months of the fiscal year because Congress and the White House had failed to agree on an annual spending plan for the 21st year in a row.

But this new $1-trillion-plus bill, they said, ensures the federal government will remain open through Sept.

30, a key element sought by midtermwary Republicans.

Fine, but the deal did not include money to fund new programs U.S. dairy farmers and cotton growers claim they need to make it through September, too.

The dairy lobby wanted changes in its almost completely ineffective Margin Protection Program, a government-sponsored revenue program similar to today’s crop insurance program.

Those changes will likely have to wait on the still-not-started 2018 Farm Bill.

The cotton growers, however, after being denied their “cottonseed-asan-oilseed,” $1-billion assistance program, were in no mood to wait. They immediately took a pitchfork to two Senate Democrats.

Senate Ag Committee members Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Patrick Leahy of Vermont, complained Ronnie Lee, chairman of the National Cotton Council, “chose to play politics at the expense of cotton producers and farm families...”

Why, pray tell?

“Because the senators’ desire to help dairy producers somehow became a prerequisite for whether Congress could provide a policy to cotton producers to help respond to the ongoing financial and trade policy challenges,” said Lee. “There was no rationale or justification for linking support between cotton and dairy producers.”

Sure there is; it’s called politics. It’s what political leaders used to do to arrive at policies — dairy policies, cotton policies, ag trade policies, federal farm budget policies, you name it — through committee hearings, open debate and, finally, through compromise to meet the nation’s crying needs.

In the post-truth world, however, political leaders bellyache about too many whole wheat biscuits and not enough chocolate milk to non-voting fourth-graders, rather than swallowing hard and doing their jobs.

membership and to our Manitoba farmers as well?”

One thing the groups aren’t anticipating are reduced farmer checkoffs, but rather that more of those funds will go towards research and market development, de Rocquiny said.

She also stressed nothing is certain yet.

“We don’t have any predetermination of what this will look like at the end of the process. I know there will be some hesitancy with some of the membership with the term ‘merger,’ she said.

She also promised the groups would have detailed member consultation before anything happens.

All five of the Manitoba commodity groups, except for the flax growers, are headquartered in the same office in Carman.

The Manitoba Canola Growers Association (MCGA), one of the original associations in collaboration talks that began in 2014, didn’t sign the MOU, but applauded the move and will monitor the process, it said in a news release.

The MCGA already works closely with sister organizations in the other Prairie provinces, nationally through the Canadian Canola Growers Association and the overall canola value chain through the Canola Council of Canada.

Winter Cereals Manitoba (WCM) and Manitoba Oat Growers Association (MOGA), which also participated in the talks, will stay on their own for now too.

WCM is a “lean” organization, which in co-operation with the Saskatchewan Winter Cereals Development Commission is one of the groups which makes up Winter Cereals Canada, its chair Doug Martin said in an interview.

“It seems to be working pretty well without a lot of cost,” Martin said. “But we may look at it again sometime in the future.”

Manitoba oat growers are likewise linked to oat organi-

zations in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, as well as the Prairie Oat Growers Association, MOGA chair Ray Mazinke, said in an interview. The oat associations also share the same executive director.

“We will be watching how it goes,” Mazinke said. “Things change and who knows, we might look at things differently down the road.”

By June the five groups that signed the MOU hope to have hired an adviser to assist a working group develop a merger plan.

By year’s end there should be a report on how to proceed.

Details will be shared with members during the annual CropConnect conference in February.

The groups are open to other like-minded organizations joining them, but not until after the current MOU expires, de Rocquigny said.

There are lots of questions,

“The MOU is a more formalized approach to going forward to maximizing profitability and sustainability for Manitoba farmers.”

Pam de Rocquigny MWBA/MCGA

including how a new merged organization would be governed and how it would raise money. All the groups have legislated refundable checkoffs.

Changes to that would require the approval of the Manitoba government, de Rocquigny said.

Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler supports a merger.

“Our province’s commodity groups face numerous pressures to effectively represent and advocate on behalf of producers in Manitoba,” Eichler said in an email May 4. “Our government supports this MOU as a means of ac-

complishing their mandate and better serving Manitoba’s ag sector. I look forward to continuing a strong working relationship with all commodity groups as we ensure their voices are heard and priorities are considered by our government.”

The Keystone Agricultural Producers also supports the groups, president Dan Mazier said in an interview.

“The intent is to do the best with the dollars they have,” he said. “I can’t see any drawbacks to that.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

he first talk of farm groups merging began in 2013 w h e n Ha l b s t a d t - a r e a farmer Danny Penner circulated a letter calling on commodity groups to merge nationally to save farmers money.

At the provincial level groups began exploring the idea quietly in 2014 with discussions between staffers at the various organizations.

Some of the interest stemmed from the formation of the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association. As a new organization it wanted to keep costs down, and in the end it contracted some of its administration to the corn growers. The two agreed later to share a general manager.

In April 2015 money from Manitoba Agriculture’s Growing Actions program funded a study on the “Operational Challenges of Manitoba Growers’ Associations,” conducted by Scott Wolfe Management. Wheat, barley, corn, pulse crops, soybean, canola and sunflowers were part of the initial discussions.

The project identified common challenges, best practices and opportunities for more formal collaboration. A provincial roundtable was formed and oat, flax and winter cereals joined the discussions bringing the total number of groups to eight.

Interested organizations have met monthly to discuss collaboration, which led to the MOU. The need for collaboration was raised by several groups at CropConnect in 2016, but leaders tiptoed around the word “merger.”

But at the 2017 CropConnect, merging was openly discussed

by Kelly Dobson, a Fairfax-area farmer and consultant hired to consult farmers on the issue.

In part at least some of the smaller groups admit they’re interested in the option because they’re struggling financially as plantings decline and their revenues follow.

It’s obvious from their financial reports some of the smaller commodity groups, such as sunflowers and flax, are struggling as plantings decline and revenue follows.

“The reality is for... small commodities, is if you want to do some useful work you have to make sure that you don’t just spend your whole budget on administering the organization,” flax association president Eric Fridfinnson told reporters Feb. 16 following the association’s annual meeting.

When it comes to mergers, members must not be indifferent, Canadian National Sunflower Association president and Virden farmer Mark McDonald told the association’s annual meeting Feb. 15.

“These are big decisions and they could have large ramifications going forward so we want to be your voice and get across what the grassroots wants,” he said. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Grain Farmers of Ontario an example of commodity group merger The group began by merging corn, soybeans and wheat into a single association, but has since added barley and oats

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

O

ne of the clearest examples of what merged farm groups might look like is the Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO).

It began operations Jan. 1, 2010 after Ontario corn, soybean and wheat farmers voted strongly to merge their individual commodity groups, GFO chief executive officer Barry Senft, said May 4.

In 2015 Ontario barley and oat farmers, who didn’t have a commodity group, voted to join.

There’s no question the merger has given Ontario farmers a bigger bang for their buck, Senft said.

“We don’t get calls, or people standing up at meetings, wishing for the good old days under the legacy groups,” he said.

“I might be biased, but it can be done and done more efficiently for farmer-members.

“Commodity prices aren’t where they were four or five years ago so the dollars have to stretch.

And the issues are getting more complex. I just think it makes sense to be working together on some of these issues.”

TRANSPORT Continued from page 1

The provisions were set to end Aug. 1, 2016, but were extended one year by Parliament. Farm groups, including AWC and Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP), and shippers represented by the WGEA, want the C-30 provisions extended for another year.

“In the absence of any longterm legislation, these provisions are the only measures the agriculture industry has to ensure that the service required to ship next fall’s harvest is in place,” the AWC release says.

“It’s critical that farmers can rely on Canada’s rail system to bring next year’s harvest to buyers here in Canada and around the world,” Auch said.

The WGEA, like the AWC and KAP, wants C-30 extended.

“We think it is important to keep the status quo until a new bill takes its place and not take a step backwards in the meantime,” WGEA executive director Wade Sobkowich said in an interview May 5.

KAP also wants C-30 extended, KAP president Dan Mazier said in an interview.

Roy declined to comment on whether the federal government will extend C-30.

However, a reliable industry source said the government plans to let C-30 expire. The source said by then the railways will know the changes coming to the transportation act, including interswitching, and the government expects railways to abide by what eventually will become law.

One industry observer suggested that’s like announcing the speed limit will be lowered and expecting drivers to slow down before the law is changed.

House of Commons rules require new legislation be placed on the order paper b e f o re a n n o u n c i n g w h e n l e g i s l a t i o n w i l l b e i n t roduced. But industry observers expect transportation act amendments will be tabled before May 18, when Garneau is scheduled to speak to the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce.

The WGEA says if the railways are subject to penalties for failing to meeting shipping commitments that should encourage better service.

Farm groups also want the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE) policy to continue, although most agree it could be improved. The WGEA does too.

“We feel quite strongly the MRE needs to remain in place and there are tweaks that can be made to encourage railway investment in their infrastructure, but the MRE needs to remain,” Sobkowich said.

Under the MRE the Canada Transportation Agency (CTA) calculates the total amount of annual revenue the railways can collect from shipping grain, based on a formula that gives the railways a fair return on investment.

The policy gives freight rate flexibility to encourage shipper efficiency, while protecting farmers from monopolistic pricing.

Some farm organizations, including KAP, also want the legislation to order the CTA to review railway costs for shipping grain. Mazier said the CTA’s for mula, which is adjusted for higher railway costs and grain volumes shipped, hasn’t been adjusted since 1992. As a result it

doesn’t take into account improved railway efficiency. As a result the railways are earning much more hauling grain than they would in a truly competitive market, according to a study commissioned by several Saskatchewan farm groups. allan@fbcpublishing.com

“I might be biased, but it can be done and done more efficiently for farmermembers.”

Barry Senft

Many issues affect all grain farmers, not one specific crop, Senft added.

GFO’s governance is based on electing delegates from 15 districts across Ontario. Each district is allowed a minimum of eight delegates. Additional delegates are allocated using a formula that accounts for local crop choice and planting levels.

Each district has a member sitting on the GFO’s board.

The creation of GFO was driven by grassroots farmers and that appears to be the case in Manitoba, Senft said.

There are other similarities, including the Ontario corn, soybean and wheat groups shared an office before merging.

“I think you want to start with a new vision for the organization that recognizes the priorities of the legacy organizations, but doesn’t dwell on it,” Senft said.

“There’s a lot of hard work discussing what the vision is and what people would like to achieve. You don’t get it done quickly, but as long as it’s moving forward I think that’s the positive of it.”

Start succession planning with a conversation — and then keep talking FOCUS

Trent Clark has heard many succession ‘horror stories’ and is making sure that everyone in his family is on the same page

Planning for Profits

Working on your farm management skills is like exercising… it pays big benefits, but it’s easy to push it off for another day. Only one-third of producers use business advisers or risk management tools, and fewer still do HR, succession, or strategic planning.

To help make your farm more profitable (and your life more enjoyable), this ongoing series from Glacier FarmMedia combines expert advice with insights from farmers who have gone down this road.

Many fears

BY ALEXIS KIENLEN STAFF

S

uccession planning all starts with a conversation.

Trent Clark hasn’t formalized his succession plan yet, but the 53-year-old has already had good discussions about succession with his three sons, all in their 20s.

The Vermilion, Alta.-area grain farmer isn’t ready to retire yet, but he’s already thinking about the topic. All three of his sons are living off the farm, none are farming full time, and while two have expressed interest in coming back, nothing has been set in stone yet.

“I’m not pushing them to make the decision,” said Clark, a fourthgeneration farmer. “They have to decide. That’s the tough part, waiting for them to find themselves or decide they want to come back.

“Any time I’ve seen kids expected or forced to come back, that doesn’t work very well.”

Elaine Froese, a farm family coach and succession planner, would support Clark’s reasoning.

In a presentation at FarmTech earlier this year, her talk focused on these sorts of tough issues.

One of the first things farmers need to do is think about what they want, she said. And it’s important to realize there are two systems at play on every farm — family and business.

“What I want you to think about today is how is the family doing and how is your farm business doing,” she said “And what is the plan for having that transition conversation around management, labour, and direction; basically succession planning?”

In Clark’s case, he still has a bit of time before he retires and his sons have to make the decision about who could take over the farm.

Clark has gone to many presentations about succession planning throughout the years, and wants to make sure he does things right so that he can avoid the wrecks he’s heard about.

“These experts have horror stories about what has happened.

It’s really easy to do a couple of things wrong and it can be an absolute disaster,” he said, adding that didn’t happen in his case as he was the only child who wanted to farm and the succession process proved to be an easy one.

The best way to alleviate a disaster is to have a conversation, said Froese, who also operates a seed farm with her husband and married son near Boissevain, Man.

There’s a lot of fear around succession planning, and not knowing who is going to take over, she said. The issue is further complicated when one generation’s vision does not match up with the vision of the next generation. Typically, the parents are concerned about protecting their own wealth when they pass on the farm to their children. There’s also a fair amount of anxiety about what to do with the non-farming siblings.

Froese urged her audience at FarmTech to ask better questions of each other, and set aside time to discuss the things that matter most.

That’s exactly what Clark and wife Judy have done — discussing succession with their children in a group, and then individually.

“I just need to explain the situation,” he said. “At some point, I need to make a decision. If any of them farm, the decision will go one way.”

And if none want to farm?

“The way I look at it is my dad gave me the opportunity. I owe the next generation an opportunity up to a point,” he said.

“But there comes a point where I want to downsize, or retire if I’m by myself.”

Clark would also like to be able to pass on his own farming knowledge to the next generation first hand, if they should continue to farm.

And if that happens, there will be more conversations — and everyone will be involved.

“If one or two of the kids decide they want to farm, you have to sit down with their spouses and you have to be honest about what to expect,” he said.

Again, this is exactly what Froese recommends: Don’t exclude your children’s partners in succession planning.

“Sons- and daughters-in-law have lots to offer and they want to be paid well,” she said. “They want performance feedback and they want your respect. They will work their butts off if they have a hope of an opportunity.”

And Clark has his own expectations. Currently, his sons like to come back to help with harvest and on weekends. But if they want to farm full time, they have to be all in, and so do their wives, he said.

Different attitudes Children often come back to the farm because they want the rural lifestyle or sense there’s an opportunity for them. But if they are treated badly or if their

passions lie elsewhere, they will choose to take a job somewhere else, Froese said in her presentation.

“Your kids have a choice to do something else, so stop treating each other badly,” she said.

Farm conversations are difficult, she added, and one of those big reasons why is because different generations have different perspectives.

In a recent blog, titled 10 Things Millennial Farmers Want, Froese wrote about how younger people want to “use their head more than their back,” how they will “reject a lifestyle that is all work,” and often find criticism hard to take.

Clark is interested in generational differences, and notes that he and his fellow baby boomers went through similar sorts of things with their dads.

Trent Clark and wife Judy have had many discussions about succession with their three sons — both as a group and individually — so everyone can talk about their hopes and plans.

“We’re a lot more about the quality of life than our fathers were. I think my generation might retire younger or semiretire younger than our parents did, especially in agriculture.”

Farmers his age will also handle succession differently, he added.

“The late boomers will be exiting and we will do it way differently than the generation before.”

Part of that is driven by the fact that the business side of farming is more complicated these days, with the majority of farms set up under a corporate structure. However, farmers are also more used to dealing with lawyers and financial advisers, and may be more willing to accept those kind of supports, Clark said.

Froese also strongly recom-

mends separating the family part of farming from the business side. She says every family member deserves to have some control in the business and in the succession process.

That’s something Clark agrees with.

“You have to give them their space. You still have to be there when they need you. If they are doing things you feel are detrimental to the operation, you have to give them your two cents’ worth, but you have to give them their space.”

There is money available through Growing Forward 2 to help people hire farm advisers.

Ontario farm groups weigh options after hog truck verdict

WHAT’S UP Please forward your agricultural events to daveb@fbcpublishing. com or call 204-944-5762.

A provincial judge dismisses a mischief charge against an animal welfare activist STAFF

O

fficials with Ontario farm groups plan to “discuss next steps” following the dismissal of charges against an animal welfare activist who gave drinks to hogs aboard a livestock trailer.

Justice David Harris of the Ontario Court of Justice on May 4 dismissed a charge of criminal mischief against Anita Krajnc of the self-described “grassroots, animal rights, vegan” group Toronto Pig Save, stemming from a June 2015 incident in Burlington, Ont. The charge alleged interference with farm animals in transit, as Krajnc gave what she said was water from a bottle to pigs through the vents in the walls of a livestock trailer stopped at a red light en route to the Fearmans Pork slaughter plant at Burlington.

Four Ontario farm groups, in a joint release, said May 4 they’re “extremely disappointed with the decision and are concerned that activists will be encouraged to engage in escalating activities that are a growing threat to animal welfare, food security and human safety.”

“This is frustrating for Ontario pork producers, who adhere to federal regulations and high standards of animal care, and are constantly evolving to further enhance their commitment to

healthy animals and communities,” Ontario Pork chairman Eric Schwindt said in the same release.

“Our concern in this instance was specific to the safety of food and people,” he added.

“Actions by Krajnc and activists like her should not be condoned by the courts as they threaten acceptable and legal farming practices and are a threat to food safety,” Bruce Kelly, program manager with Farm & Food Care Ontario, said in the same release.

The four groups, also including the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario, said in a separate statement May 3 they “support the right to peaceful protest, but not to interfere with farm animals.”

Asked May 4 about the possibility of an appeal, an Ontario Pork spokesperson noted the group attended Krajnc’s trial as an observer and wouldn’t be directly involved if an appeal is considered.

‘Not satisfied’ In his May 4 ruling, which followed hearings held last summer and fall, Harris said he’s “not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt” that Krajnc “interfered with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation” of the hogs or the business that owned them — as per the legal definition of mischief.

Harris rejected defence assertions that the hogs were “persons” rather than “property,” ruling that while Krajnc or others may believe so, “that does not, however, make it so.”

The judge also rejected defence claims that the pigs, being shipped from Van Boekel Hog Farms, weren’t being transported in compliance with governing regulations. The judge declared “any use of the property in this case was lawful.”

However, considering the Crown’s case that Krajnc gave the hogs an “unknown substance/ possible contaminant,” Harris said “that theory breaks down when one looks at the evidence.”

Harris said there was no evidence that Krajnc gave the pigs an unknown substance, only evidence from Krajnc that she gave them water.

Harris rejected the trucker’s testimony that he “did not know what (Krajnc) had given to the pigs,” noting the driver “did not turn around and drive the truckload of ‘contaminated’ pigs back to the farm,” but rather “straight to the slaughterhouse.”

Once at the Fearmans plant, the driver didn’t tell anyone the pigs might have been contaminated — not because he meant to sneak contaminated pigs in for slaughter, but “because he believed Ms. Krajnc had given them water, just like she

and other protesters had done before,” the judge said.

Furthermore, Harris said, Fearmans “did not refuse to accept the truckload of pigs” and “had never refused” previous loads of hogs after protesters gave them water.

“As far as I know, every pig on that truck went on to be slaughtered and processed and passed on to consumers in the usual fashion,” the judge said, also noting “no evidence” that Krajnc had wilfully intended to cause Fearmans to reject the load of hogs in question.

‘Colour of right’ However, Harris also rejected defence claims of legal justification for Krajnc’s actions, saying that if she had broken the law, she “did not act with legal justification or colour of right.”

If she meant to save a pig’s life, her actions “failed to accomplish that,” he said, and if she meant to provide “temporary relief to a pig,” all the hogs would have been given water a few minutes later at the packing plant.

Also, Harris said, if Krajnc had meant just to raise public awareness, she “did not need to break the law to do so.”

The judge also found it ironic that Krajnc’s actions “failed to increase public awareness until she was charged with this offence.”

arge price swings in the U.S. cattle futures led to similar activity in the Manitoba cattle auctions during the week ended May 5.

U.S. cattle prices rallied sharply the first few days of May, with unseasonal snow that killed thousands of cattle in key U.S. feeding regions behind some of the buying interest.

The resulting strength in the U.S. cattle sector spilled into Canada, with prices hitting some of their best levels of the past year at sales held May 2-3. However, the U.S. market turned the corner May 4-5 and the resulting activity at Friday’s Winnipeg Livestock Sales auction saw steady trade on the week.

“With so many longs in the market, ‘who’s left to buy?’” said Ben DiCostanzo, an analyst with Walsh Trading in Chicago. “At some point, there will be some profit-taking.

“I’m afraid to be a buyer up here, but I’m also afraid to sell,” he said, adding “it’s really rough to be short in these markets right now.”

Robin Hill of Heartland Livestock Services at Virden held his sale May 3, when U.S. prices were at their height.

“We’ve definitely seen the highest prices since last year’s calves this week,” said Hill, noting prices have climbed since the beginning of March.

“For anybody still looking for inventory, it’s costing them more ever y week,” he

robin hill Heartland Livestock Services, Virden

added. “I think we’ve seen the highs, and now we’ll see it back off.”

As prices back off, seasonal issues should also see volumes slow down at the auction yards.

In addition, the generally strong prices will likely see fewer cattle held back to go to grass than a year ago. When there’s money to be made today, “why take a chance?” said Hill.

“The feeder market is strong because the fat market is stronger than anybody ever predicted,” he said.

“It was less than six months ago that we were not making money on fat cattle,” he added, pointing to the cyclical nature of the cattle market.

Looking at the feed situation, Hill said there were ample supplies of grain and silage in the countryside.

However, while grain farmers were still waiting for fields to dry out in some areas, some pasture could use a half inch of rain, “to give the grass a wash-off.”

Cargill says it will exit the business of feeding cattle to direct capital toward other investments, the latest transformation for the global commodity trader.

Minnesota-based Cargill struck a deal to sell its last two feed yards to ethanol producer Green Plains Inc. for US$36.7 million, after selling other feed yards to Friona Industries last year, according to the companies.

Cargill’s withdrawal from the feeding business high-

lights a change in priorities at the company, which says it is the world’s largest supplier of ground beef.

Cargill wants to expand its North America-based protein business by exploring plant-based protein, fish and insects, along with other opportunities linked to livestock and poultry, spokesman Mike Martin said.

The sales of feed yards to Green Plains and Friona frees up hundreds of millions of dollars annually in working capital used to purchase cattle, he said.

Cargill in recent years has refocused its operations by exiting some lower-margin businesses and expanding into higher-margin endeavours such as food ingredients and aquaculture. It sold a U.S. agriculture-retail

business to Agrium last year and its U.S. pork assets to Brazilian meat packer JBS SA in 2015.

Other agricultural companies, including U.S. meat processor Tyson Foods, have also shifted toward higher-margin products to increase profits and distance themselves from gyrations in commodity prices.

“The driver from a Cargill perspective is how it can best deploy capital and it’s decided not in cattle feeding but in further processing,” said Jim Robb, director of the Livestock Marketing Information Center.

Last year, Cargill bought a ground beef-processing plant in South Carolina to target sales to retail and food-service customers on the east coast.

Concerns remain over canola still out on the fields DAVE SIMS CNSC

T

he ICE Futures Canada canola market’s dominant July contract finished roughly $5 higher during the week ended May 5, after fund buying and a bullish stocks report lifted values out of their doldrums.

Statistics Canada pegged domestic canola supplies at 6.567 million tonnes as of March 31, below most analysts’ expectations. That amount is roughly two million tonnes less than at the same time last year. The total still came as a relief to some participants though, who feared there was even less canola in the system.

Whatever the case, many market-watchers expect Canada to run out of supplies before the new crop is ready, meaning rationing will almost certainly be needed in the coming months.

However, the precipitation that fell in Western Canada over the early part of the year has raised concerns the quality of the canola still left in Prairie fields will be poor and the country could have fewer supplies than thought.

Weather conditions across the Prairies have turned warm and dry over the past 10 days, helping many farmers get back on the field.

However, soggy fields in Alberta are still

hampering producers who want to get crops off by early May. Crush margins continue to benefit from weakness in the Canadian dollar. The loonie softened by roughly a quarter of a cent between May 2 and 5.

Intermonth spreading was still a feature as traders swapped out old contracts in the early going.

Expectations that this year’s oilseed acreage in North America will be large, along with steady soybean exports from South America, kept values in check.

From a technical level, canola seems headed towards a range of $530 to $540 per tonne, according to Mike Jubinville of ProFarmer Canada.

De m a n d f ro m C h i n a i s o n e va r i a b l e though, as the country’s credit situation has some market-watchers worried.

Wheat values fell during the week as reports came in of higher-than-expected yields during a major wheat tour of the southern U.S. Weak export sales in the U.S. and spillover losses from the wheat market also weighed down corn prices, albeit to a lesser extent.

Slowing ethanol production was also bearish for corn.

Soybeans posted minor gains on the strength of solid weekly export numbers and wet weather in southern U.S. growing areas, which slowed field work.

Western wheat bids chop up and down Average prices for CWRS wheat ran around $232 per tonne in western Manitoba

BY DAVE SIMS AND PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN CNS Canada

H

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada saw volatile action during the week ended May 5, ultimately ending mixed in the face of competing influences.

Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were down by as much as $1.75 to up $2.25 per tonne across the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of deliver y points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average pr ices ranged from about $232 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $254 in northern Alberta.

Quoted basis levels varied from

location to location, but generally ranged from about $29 to $50 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$169 to US$185 per tonne. That would put the currency-adjusted basis levels at about US$19-$35 below the futures.

Looking at it the other way around, if the Minneapolis futures are converted to Canadian dollars, CWRS basis levels across Western Canada range from $26 to $48 below the futures.

tonne, with prices coming in at roughly $169-$185 per tonne.

Average durum prices were up as much as $9 per tonne, with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $255-$259 per tonne.

The July spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted May 5 at US$5.5425 per bushel, down by half a cent from the previous week.

Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, traded in Chicago, are more

closely linked to CPSR in Canada.

The July K.C. wheat contract was quoted May 5 at US$4.50 per bushel, up by 7.75 U.S. cents compared to the previous week.

The July Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled May 5 at US$4.4225, which was up by 10 U.S. cents on the week.

The Canadian dollar settled May 5 at 72.92 U.S. cents, down by a third of a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart compared to the previous week.

Nerbas Bros. Angus recognized for environmental efforts Grazing systems and forage are key for the winners of this year’s Manitoba Beef Producers Environmental Stewardship Award

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

T

he Nerbas family of Shellmouth, Man., isn’t interested in a whole lot of inputs for their forage-only Angus herd.

Arron and Shane Nerbas, along with their wives, Amber and Sacha, their children, and their parents Gene and Cynthia, run a 525-head commercial herd and 75 head of registered breeding stock under a mix of summer strip grazing and winter bale grazing.

Now the operation has been singled out by the Manitoba Beef Producers for that organization’s annual Environmental Stewardship award, and is headed on to the national competition.

“They have a process and a belief in off-site watering and bale grazing and seeding extra complementary pastures and extended grazing,” Manitoba Beef Producers general manager Brian Lemon said. “I think what really struck us was their commitment to try and ensure that they operate with those principals and they have very much a forwardlooking operation that takes the environment into account.”

The award is the “centrepiece” of the commodity group’s efforts to showcase its environmental aspects, Lemon added.

The award will launch the Nerbas family on to the national stage. As provincial winners, Nerbas Bros.

Angus will go up against similarly selected producers from across Canada at the Canadian Beef Industry Conference in Calgary August 15-17, 2017.

On the Nerbas operation, attention is paid to doing things the natural way and leveraging Mother Nature to the benefit of the producer.

Water troughs, when possible, run on alternative energy, synthetic fertilizers are passed over in favour of nutrient cycling and the family has developed a winter system they refer to as “pod grazing,” which centralizes up to three weeks of feed in areas they have singled out for a boost of organic matter or nutrients.

The herd is then rotated to another “pod.”

“We were always a bit of a lowinput-based operation, meaning that cows would just calf on their own in spring and everything was wintered out on the range and not in confinement or feedlots, so we just kind of evolved that to the next level when we took our holistic course and decided to kind of tweak and improve on it as we went,” Arron Nerbas said.

About 10 years ago, the Nerbas brothers attended a course with holistic management educators Don and Bev Campbell of Meadow Lake,

The Nerbas family runs 600 head of commercial and registered breeding stock at Nerbas Bros. Angus near Shellmouth, Man.

Sask., bringing back a more intentional system of grazing management. The following year, both Gene and Cynthia completed the course.

“We took the rest and recovery a little more seriously and documented the time of grazing and how long it recovered and tried to be just a little more stringent in how we monitored that,” Arron Nerbas said.

“And we also took our herd density, or grazing density, and we tried to put more animals on smaller acres to get a little more utilization. You get the hoof action, the trampling. It all helps in terms of rejuvenation of the soil.”

Today, Nerbas Bros. Angus operates about 100 paddocks in summer, with herds rotated regularly.

“We just have them on, for example, an 80-acre piece for three to five days and then move them to the next one and sometimes those paddocks will only get grazed once a year, sometimes twice a year, just depending on the moisture of that particular year, how it was grazed the previous year, a lot of different factors,” Arron Nerbas said.

Such “mob grazing” has been advocated by the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association and soil ecol-

ogy specialists as a tool for building organic matter and soil health.

In 2014, a similar 128-paddock system, run by Brian Harper of Circle H Farms, was highlighted through a partnership between the forage association and federal Commission of Environmental Cooperation.

More recently, the practice has been pitched for potential carbon sequestration, something the Manitoba Beef Producers has targeted in its official carbon policy.

In the winter, by contrast, the herd is moved less often. When they were first experimenting with bale grazing, Nerbas said, bales were laid out in a grid and cattle might remain in the same area for only three to four days. The constant shift of electrical wire quickly grew tiresome, however, leading the Nerbases to extend the period to 10 days to two weeks and, later, to 21 days.

The result, Arron Nerbas says, was some of the most dramatic improvements to their soil. Under the system, their naturally light and sandy soils have seen a dramatic rise in organic matter, nutrients, a thick layer of thatch and a higher rate of water infiltration in areas that were bale grazed.

“We were always a bit of a low-input-based operation, meaning that cows would just calf on their own in spring and everything was wintered out on the range and not in confinement or feedlots, so we just kind of evolved that to the next level when we took our holistic course and decided to kind of tweak and improve on it as we went.”

Arron Nerbas

“Through nutrient cycling, we don’t think that we’ll have to go back to those areas ever again potentially because we’ve rejuvenated so much that there’s now a fertility storage bank there and it has a way higher ability to retain moisture,” Nerbas said.

Over the years not only the production system has evolved — so has the product mix.

Solely a cow-calf operation at first, the Nerbases say they mostly s t u m b l e d i n t o t h e re g i s t e re d breeding business for their own farm’s needs. After failing to find bulls up to their standards, the Nerbases decided to develop their own.

The forage-only breeding stock have found a foothold among similarly minded producers in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan. astockford@farmmedia.com

A 10-point checklist for the newborn foal Tick the boxes to ensure your young foal is meeting developmental milestones and has no major issues Carol Shwetz

DVM

Horse Health

R

ecognizing healthy behaviour and development of the newborn foal is critical to identifying when something is amiss.

Initial stages of illness in young foals are subtle and unfortunately can be easily overlooked.

Therefore a checklist of 10 relevant questions can be a valuable resource when evaluating the newborn foal.

Each question represents a significant milestone in the life of a healthy foal and therefore the answer to each of the 10 questions must be a definitive “YES.” Each point on the list only requires keen observation skills and does not interfere with the activities of the foal.

1) Is the foal standing within one hour of birth?

2) Has the foal nursed colostrum within two hours of birth?

3) Has the mare passed the placenta and/or cleaned within three hours of the foal’s delivery?

Most healthy foals are high achievers and easily make the first two checkpoints. Ingestion of colostrum, or the mare’s first milk, within a critical time frame is crucial to the foal’s short- and long-term health. This colostrum

is energy and nutrient dense, most renowned for its ability to “jump-start” a healthy immune system. Although the third checkpoint does not require anything of the foal, its answer can be vital to the survival of the foal. Generally mares will “clean” within three hours of delivery. Mares that retain their placentas beyond eight hours are at serious risk for systemic illness and are considered a veterinary emergency.

4) Has the foal passed its meconium?

The meconium or first feces passed by the foal is a dark-green, very sticky/tacky mass that accumulates in the bowel during fetal life and is discharged shortly after birth. It is not uncommon to see tags of sticky greenish meconium on the foal’s hindquarters within six hours of birth. This is a good sign and is often evidence of a healthy ingestion of colostrum. A foal with retained meconium will experience abdominal discomfort, strain to defecate, swish its tail, act colicy and will eventually become reluctant to nurse. An enema is indicated in foals that have not passed their meconium within 12 hours of birth.

5) Does the young foal nurse often — very often?

Milk demand and flow from the mare is stimulated by the asking of a hungry foal. Young foals nurse frequently keeping the mare’s udder stripped, often nursing more than 20 times a day.

6) Does the young foal “shadow” the dam?

Healthy foals are alert, aware of their surroundings and have a strong affinity for the mare. They play and move a lot — even if at first only moving in tight circles around the mare. Foals lacking a vigorous, vibrant attitude or that wander from the mare or appear detached from her are a cause for concern.

It is not uncommon for a foal to begin life with weak legs. The

Each point on the list only requires keen observation skills and does not interfere with the activities of the foal.

foal may have laxity in the pasterns or fetlocks, contracted tendons or deviations of the distal limbs. These generally self-correct with moderate and modest exercise within the first few days of life as the soft tissues strengthen and adjust. Severe deviations, those not improving, or ones that prevent the foal from properly following the mare may require veterinary consultation.

7) Does the young foal lay down to sleep?

Young foals lay down and sleep a lot, most commonly in lateral recumbency, however, upon occasion in sternal. Foals that are fading, appear sleepy or hang their heads while standing are not resting properly and are showing early symptoms of illness.

8) Does the young foal urinate and urinate correctly?

When the young colt or filly postures to urinate, urine must come from the penis or the vulva.

If urine is seen to drip or stream

from the navel, veterinary attention will be necessary. Infrequent urination is not normal and may indicate that the foal is not nursing adequately or that the bladder has ruptured.

9) Is the young foal alert, sensitive and responsive to its surroundings?

Healthy foals are curious and inquisitive, constantly engaging in their environment. Whenever they become dull or lose their focus on the mare there will be a problem.

10) Does the foal keep the mare’s udder relieved?

Often one of the first “red flags” regarding the foal’s health will be the distended state of the mare’s udder as the foal falls behind in nursing. Weak or troubled foals that lose strength nursing will also have “milk nose” or dried milk on their face.

Other not-so-subtle signs of distress in a newborn foal are abnormal nasal discharge (including milk), abnormal respiration, coughing, watery diarrhea, lameness, and abnormal swellings of the umbilicus or navel or around the genitals. These are indications for veterinary involvement.

Since the health status of a young foal can change rapidly, recognition of both normal and abnormal signs of health during the first days of life are essential to a successful outcome.

SHEEP & GOAT COLUMN

Summer slows sheep and goat bidding It was buyer’s choice in many cases at the most recent sheep and goat sale

BY MARK ELLIOT Co-operator contributor

I

t w a s a c a s e o f d i f f e ring expectations May 3 at the Winnipeg Livestock Auction, as buyers and sellers gathered to trade the 233 sheep and goats delivered to this sale.

S e l l e r s w e re h o p i n g f o r decent prices, while buyers were looking for bargains.

In the sheep sale, ewes were of mixed quality and the bidding highlighted the differences. There appeared to be no price differences between w o o l a n d h a i r e w e s. Tw o groups of Suffolk-cross ewes were sheared, giving indication of uniformity and structure. The price ranged from $1.30 to $1.45 per pound for these animals. Other prices ranged from $1.01 to $1.08 per pound and another ranged from $1.15 to $1.25 per pound. More mature ewes were not present in the various weight ranges.

O n e 2 1 0 - p o u n d Su f f o l k cross ram represented this classification, and brought $216.30 or $1.03 per pound.

The heavyweight lamb class was represented by a 170p o u n d D o r p e r- c ro s s l a m b which brought $1.20 per pound. Another 170-pound Dorper-cross lamb brought $1.08 per pound.

There was still a demand for market lambs for immediate use. The price ranged from $2.06 to $2.30 per pound, for weight ranging from 98 to 102 pounds. An exception was four 95-pound Cheviot-cross lambs which brought $1.51 per pound.

A 90-pound Dorper-cross lamb represented the feeder lamb class, bringing $2.40 per pound.

The 70-plus-pound lambs continued the trend, ranging from $2.30 to $2.41 per pound. An exception was a 75-pound Rideau-cross lamb that brought $1.25 per pound.

The 60-plus-pound lambs c re a t e d a b u y e r’s c h o i c e, with plenty of selection.

Prices ranged from $1.80 to $1.94 per pound. A 60-pound Rideau-cross lamb brought $2.125 per pound. The 63and 64-pound lambs ranged in price from $2.56 to $2.59 a pound.

New-crop lambs were unif o r m i n s t r u cture in each group. Buyers were interested in the selection on offer, and many seemed to be heading back into buyers’ herds for building purposes.

The quality of the goat does was reflected in the buyers’ less-than-enthusiastic bidding. Some of these goat does did not show their distinctive characteristics.

One Boer-cross goat buck was slightly lean having the animal at a better weight that could have created stronger

bidding. As it stood in the ring, the animal did not draw attention or strong demand.

Five 80-pound Boer-cross goat wethers brought $2.13 per pound. These wethers showed uniform body structure and sheen coats.

Seven 86-pound Boer-cross goat wethers brought $2.08 per pound. Once again these wethers were of noticeable quality which was reflected in bidding.

GOAT DOES

No under-80-pound goat kids were delivered to this sale.

The Ontario Stockyard Repor t showed sheep and lambs suffered major price cuts. The bidding was much lower than in the past few sales. The bidding on the new-crop lambs was lower, creating low prices for quality lambs. The goats remained at a fairly constant price and more were delivered than the last sale.

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

Pleasant spring weather ahead Issued: Monday, May 8, 2017 · Covering: May 10 – May 17, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

L

ast week’s forecast didn’t turn out exactly as predicted, but it wasn’t due to a lack of trying by Mother Nature.

The broad area of low pressure formed to our west as predicted and we did see some low to even mid-20s for highs late last week.

Then a weak cold front moved through our region over the weekend dropping temperatures a little bit and keeping the really warm air off to our west.

For this forecast period it looks like we’ll start off with pleasant early- to mid-May weather with plenty of sunshine and slightly cooler temperatures. The cooler weather is thanks in part to the large storm system that brought the heavy rains to Eastern Canada last week. The remnant upper low associated with this system is forecast to do a retrograde loop; this will help to bring cooler air into our region. Expect daytime highs to be in the 10 to 15 C range with overnight lows a few degrees above 0 C. It looks like we will be in a predominantly northwesterly flow right through the weekend. With

weak high pressure in place, most days will start off sunny, but will transition to scattered afternoon clouds. Expect daytime highs to slowly inch up a degree or so each day, pushing the 20 C mark by Saturday or Sunday.

By early next week the weather models are showing a large area of arctic high pressure building southward. It is forecast to move fairly slowly, with some weather models sliding the high to our east while others have it coming right over the top of us by the middle of next week. The exact track of this high will impact our temperatures, with a more easterly track resulting in milder conditions. While we might see a bit of a cool-down initially with this high, the strong late-spring sunshine should help to warm things up, with daytime highs expected to be in the upper teens to low 20s.

Overnight lows will be on the cool # side, so don’t jump the gun with any outdoor planting! # Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 11 to 25 C; lows, -1 to +9 C.

Severe versus air mass thunderstorms Storms that don’t rotate or have any way to vent rising air rarely last long

BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

A

couple of weeks ago we talked about what it takes to form severe thunderstorms: heat, humidity, lift, and some way to vent the air at the top of the storm. This week we’ll take a look at what it takes to make a severe thunderstor m and tur n it into a thunderstorm that you just might want to forget ever happened!

Thinking back a couple of weeks, for a thunderstorm to form we need to have a hot, humid air mass in place; the air a few thousand feet up has to be very cold, providing for good lift; and we need a strong jet stream overhead providing the venting at the top of the storm.

If we have all of this in place there is good chance we will see a severe thunderstorm.

The question is, what can Mother Nature add to the mix to make things even worse?

T h e f i r s t a n d p ro b a b l y m o s t i m p o r t a n t “e x t r a” ingredient that can be added is to have a change in wind direction with altitude.

Remember that the atmos-

In a rotating thunderstorm, the source of warm, moist air is maintained, giving these storms a long life and a lot of moisture to produce heavy rains.

phere is three dimensional; that is, air can flow horizontally, but this horizontal direction can change as you move upward. Why would this have an impact on our storm?

To put it in a nutshell, this change of direction can cause the developing storm to rotate. Picture what would happen if you take a rising parcel of air and push on it from the south when it is at the surface. Then as it rises up a couple of thousand feet the wind switches direction and now blows from the east.

Then a few thousand feet farther up it is blowing from the northwest. What would happen to our rising parcel of air? It would get twisted; it would start to rotate.

Remember, if we can get air to rotate counterclockwise we will have an area of low pressure. As air flows inward in a counterclock-

wise rotation, it is then forced to move upward. One thing we get if we can get our severe storm rotating is a small-scale area of low pressure and that helps the air to rise even more than it would without the rotation.

The second thing a rotating thunderstorm can do is to nicely separate the area of updrafts and downdrafts.

This is important, since the d ow n d ra f t s, e v e n w i t h a severe thunderstorm, will eventually cut the updraft off from its source of warm, m o i s t a i r. I n a r o t a t i n g thunderstorm, the source of warm, moist air is maintained, giving these storms a long life and a lot of moisture to produce heavy rains.

The strong isolated updrafts can also help to produce hail.

Another aspect to the storm that a rotating column of air can provide is torna-

does. While we still do not fully understand how tornadoes are formed, we do know that rotating thunderstorms can produce tornadoes. It is believed that rotating columns of air can get squeezed into a narrower shape; as this happens, the wind speeds increase, eventually producing the tornado.

Like most things in nature, thunderstorms rarely behave l i k e a t e x t b o o k e x a m p l e.

Sometimes, even when all of the ingredients are present, no storms may form, or sometimes a key ingredient is missing, yet we get a really severe storm; this is what makes weather so interesting.

No overhead vent As we all know, not every thunderstorm that develops becomes severe; in fact, much of our summer rainfall comes from your garden-variety thunderstorm, or what we call air mass thunderstorms. These storms, as the name indicates, develop in the middle of a typical warm summer air mass.

Because they are in the middle of an air mass, a number of the key ingredients for severe storms are missing.

Usually, in the middle of an air mass, temperature

will not decrease that rapidly with height. The wind will usually remain constant with height, and there will probably not be a jet stream overhead. Nonetheless, we can still have enough heat and humidity for air to rise and thunderstorms will for m. Since these stor ms don’t rotate or have any way to vent the rising air from the top of the storm, they rarely last long. The accumulating air at the top of the storm will eventually fall back down as a downdraft; this tends to wipe out the updraft, essentially killing the storm. The whole process from the start of the storm to the downdraft killing it can be anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour.

While these stor ms are short lived they can provide brief periods of heavy rain and the occasional strong gust of wind, especially when the downdraft first hits the ground. These storms often provide us with just the right amount of precipitation just when we needed it during the summer. In the next issue we’ll continue our look at thunderstorms and what is arguably the most costly summer severe weather event: hail.

CROPS h u s b a n d r y — t h e s c i e n c e , S K I L L O R ART O F F AR M IN G

Winter wheat takes a beating in the east M

id-winter thaws hit hard at overwintering cereals in January and February, and farmers in eastern Manitoba are just now discovering the impact.

Jake Davidson, executive manager of Winter Cereals Canada, said winter wheat acres north, south and east of Winnipeg suffered significant crop damage when watersaturated ground later refroze.

Other growers who escaped that weather have fared far better.

“A s y o u g o w e s t t h r o u g h Manitoba and into Saskatchewan, it gets better and better and better and my people in central Saskatchewan are jumping up and down, their crops look so good,” he said.

Both eastern Manitoba and the Interlake have reported winter damage or patchy regrowth in winter cereals, according to the first Manitoba Agriculture crop report, issued May 1.

Manitoba Agriculture estimates that between 35 and 80 per cent of winter wheat in eastern Manitoba is damaged, although assessment is ongoing.

The same report noted significant winterkill in the Interlake and water stress in the far southwest corner of the province.

Over 50 per cent of winter wheat acres in the Interlake are up for reseeding, Manitoba Agriculture has estimated.

Producers have filed 200 winter wheat claims and 27 fall rye claims with the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation, MASC has reported.

David Van Deynze, MASC vicepresident of insurance operations, said the number of damaged acres are still being assessed.

Overall percentage of affected acres in Manitoba is also pending, as MASC awaits June’s seeded acreage reports.

“It’s a little bit anecdotal at this point, but certainly it does sound like the majority of the acres in eastern Manitoba seem to be in question at this point,” Van Deynze

said. “I won’t say producers have made up their minds entirely on all the fields, but they are concerned about them and will have some decisions to make in the next little while here, for sure.”

Van Deynze also speculated that some damage may have occurred during wintery weather in late April.

Doug Martin, chair of Winter Cereals Manitoba, is among the producers to lose crops this spring.

“Where we are, the ditches were running in February,” he said. “The field I am doing ditching on right now was a third covered in ice. At that point, I actually ordered seed because when you have that much ice covering, it doesn’t do much insulating and then we had cold temperatures after that. I think it was just too much — and the ice seals it off from oxygen.”

MASC gives consent to destroy a crop if yields are sure to fall beneath the farmer’s long-term average.

“It’s always the producer’s decision but we give them consent to destroy it and start over with a new crop because we don’t want people starting off this early in the season already knowing that their yield

is going to be less than what their long-term average is,” Van Deynze said.

The spring damage will further shrink already-low winter wheat acres in Manitoba. According to Statistics Canada, about 140,000 acres of winter wheat were seeded province-wide in fall 2016, down 19.9 per cent from the year previous. That decrease continues a trend that has seen yearly percentage drops in the double digits for the last five years. Statistics Canada reported 600,000 winter wheat acres seeded in fall 2012, a number that dropped to 434,900 acres in 2013, 235,000 in 2014 and 174,950 acres in fall 2015.

“We did not have a huge seeding last year because so much of the crop or stubble crop did not get taken off in the reasonable time or, in many cases, taken off at all,” Davidson said.

Wet conditions in fall 2016 put a significant obstacle in front of winter cereal seeding, Martin said.

“Whatever went in might have been stressed too with all the wet conditions we had last fall. It’s too bad, but that’s what Mother Nature

throws at you once in a while,” he said.

Cereals wintered well to the west, according to Manitoba Agriculture, but the extreme southwest is struggling with water, the fallout of spring run-off that led to flood warnings throughout the region.

“There was a lot of flooding in southwest Manitoba,” Davidson said. “There were hundreds of miles of closed roads from crosscountry flooding, so that affects us and it also means that the spring crops are going to be difficult to get out there because the ground’s going to be too wet.”

Van Deynze, however, noted that western producers are just beginning to assess winter crops.

“It’s pretty normal for the southwest and the western part of the province in general to be a little bit behind in terms of making assessments on winter wheat,” he said.

“It’s a few degrees cooler, the melt lasts a little bit longer than it does in the eastern part of the province.”

Despite initial reports of damage, Winter Cereals Canada is warning producers against giving up on fields for another several weeks.

“Don’t panic at this point,” Davidson said. “Get halfway through your spring seeding and then really take a good close look at your winter wheat crop and see what it’s done because you still have time to get rid of it and put in a new crop. Unless you absolutely know that you’re drowned out, give the crop a chance yet.”

Disc tillage not the only answer to corn residue

School of Agriculture sees large graduate class P

Recent research on the effect of corn on subsequent soybean crops suggests there may be other alternatives

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD

“If we think about soybeans, what they’re looking for, I’d say they’re more interested in accumulated temperature over time than they are a peak temperature during one hour.”

The University of Manitoba’s diploma program saw 75 graduate this spring STAFF

T

h e Un i ve r s i t y o f Manitoba’s School of Agriculture has graduated its largest class in more than 30 years.

S e v e n t y- f i v e s t u d e n t s received their Diplomas in Agriculture at the 2017 convocation of the School of Agriculture held May 5, at the University of Manitoba. This is the largest graduating class since 1986.

Brian Archibald of Killarney received the Governor General’s Bronze Medal, an award given to the graduate with the highest academic standing in the two-year diploma program in agriculture. Archibald was also the recipient of the President’s Medal, given annually to a student who combines scholarship with outstanding qualities of leadership.

Diplomas with Distinction, awarded to students who obtain a grade point average of 3.75 or better out of a possible 4.5,

were presented to Brian Archibald, Simon Cutler (Arborg), Ricardo Enguita (Zaragoza, Spain), Michelle Falk (New Bothwell), Joel Friesen (Mitchell), Celeste Giesbrecht (Miami), Renate Jochum (St. Francois Xavier), Laur yn Keen (Manitou), Ashley Kiansky ( Vita), Jennifer Mueller (Arnaud), Blair Reid (Lorette), Dawson Sawatzky (MacGregor), Bailey Sigvaldason (Arborg), and Philip Therrien (La Broquerie).

The faculty of agricultural and food sciences annually awards Certificates of Merit to those who have made significant contributions to the agri-food industry. This year’s recipients include organic researcher and educator Martin Entz and former deputy premier Jim Downey.

The Teacher of the Year Award was presented to Don Flaten in recognition of teaching excellence and contribution to the students’ program of study.

This award is selected by the graduating class of diploma students.

roducers may want to look beyond disc tillage to deal with corn residue, according to research co-funded by the Manitoba Corn Growers Association.

In a two-year comparison of four residue treatments and their effect on soybeans, Patrick Walther and Yvonne Lawley of the University of Manitoba found that low-tillage treatments yielded the same soybean crop as conventional disc tillage on sandy soils.

“That is already something that we, beforehand, didn’t quite know exactly,” Walther said.

Likewise, the study found little difference in accumulated soil temperature between double-disc tillage, high-disturbance vertical tillage, low-disturbance vertical tillage or strip tillage.

All four sites were on sandy soils and all but one site managed corn residue in spring.

Walther reported higher temperatures in tilled soils, compared to untreated soil, but temperatures between treatments varied only during the hottest and coldest periods of the day.

“What we saw is that management practices such as rolling and planting have influence on soil temperatures, especially in strip till,” he said. “You have to think that strip till makes a little bit of a berm and once you flatten this berm, the temperature changes within that berm, so whether you first go and roll or you plant when you have a planter that has some packing wheels behind it, then it really flattens down that berm and that changes soil temperature.”

Temperature differences evened out, however, once accumulated temperatures were calculated.

“It was interesting that strip till, in certain cases, showed this little higher peak and was warmer than other treatments, but also

cooler at night, but then if we accumulate that over time, we don’t have any differences. If we think about soybeans, what they’re looking for, I’d say they’re more interested in accumulated temperature over time than they are a peak temperature during one hour,” Walther said.

Moreover, all four treatments registered the necessary soil moisture to jump-start soybean growth at planting.

The study recorded 30 per cent corn residue coverage after two passes of disc tillage, 27 per cent coverage under high-disturbance vertical tillage, and 65 per cent after two passes of lowdisturbance vertical tillage. At the same time, one pass of strip tillage resulted in 63 per cent overall coverage, but only four per cent coverage within the strip where planting occurs.

The study found strip tillage cost significantly less, coming in at $19.31 per acre compared to vertical low-disturbance tillage at $29.72 and, on the high end, double-disc tillage at $32.25 per acre.

Walther also reported significant time saved with the onepass strip-till system.

He noted, however, that specialized equipment required for strip tillage may outweigh its lower operational cost, as the same equipment may not carry over to other crops.

“This is only an economic analysis for one year. If a farmer thinks about purchasing a certain unit, they should make the calculation over a rotation period at least,” he said.

Pam de Rocquigny, Manitoba Corn Growers Association

general manager, echoed the sentiment.

There are no hard numbers on the popularity of different tillage systems, although de Rocquigny, said strip tillage is less common in corn residue management.

“There’s interest in it from producers and I think that’s why it was a treatment that was included in the study,” she said.

“Obviously, strip tilling requires specialized equipment, so whether or not every producer is going to invest in strip-tillage equipment, I don’t know if that’s going to happen or not, but including the economic analysis was an important component that we wanted the researchers to look at because if it is something that could potentially increase profitability of producers, then that’s something we need to look at.”

The research covered common concerns to producers making management decisions, she said, noting the possible effect of temperature on germination in various crop and field work timing, given the province’s sometimes wet springs.

“We have some messages, but at the same time, it will vary from field to field, from soil type to soil type and from region to region,” she said. “It’s great research. It helps answer some questions, but it’s by no means going to be the answer for everybody.”

Researchers also hope to explore if Walther’s results hold true on clay soils and are currently looking for test sites for future research. astockford@farmmedia.com

Transportation bill to be ambitious package Despite a tight timeline the transport minister is still promising action before the summer recess

BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

W

hile offering no details, Transport Minister Marc Garneau says seven key issues for the grain sector will be included in a bill on rail service to be introduced in Parliament this spring.

In a letter to the Commons transport committee, Garneau said, “I look forward to presenting this legislation, which will support a more transparent, balanced, safe, and efficient freight rail system, for the benefit of all users.”

The bill will “advance a long-term agenda for a more transparent, balanced, and efficient rail system that reliably moves our goods to global markets.”

The bill will reflect discussions with shippers and carriers and recommendations in a report released by the committee last year, he said.

“We all agree on the importance of an effective and efficient rail transportation system for the

Riding Mountain road bans in effect Spring weight restrictions will prevent road damage during thaw STAFF

T

o minimize road damage during the spring thaw, Riding Mountain National Park has imposed restrictions on Highways 19 and 10 where they pass through the park.

Effective immediately, weight restrictions of 6,006 lbs. or 2,730 kg gross vehicle weight will be enforced on Hwy. No. 19 within the boundaries of Riding Mountain National Park.

As an approximate guide, the largest vehicle allowed would be an empty threequarter-ton truck or a loaded half-ton truck.

This limit will remain in effect until road and weather conditions permit restrictions to be lifted.

The closure to heavy truck traffic (three axles or more) on Highway 10 within the boundaries of Riding Mountain National Park remains in effect.

Advance signage will be posted to allow alternative routes to be used.

There will be unscheduled enforcement of these restrictions.

Vehicles with three axles or more will be allowed a c c e s s t o t h e t ow nsite, the Parks Canada Maintenance Compound, and the Clear Lake Golf Course from the south entrance of the park only for delivery purposes.

health of our economy, including the grain sector,” Garneau wrote.

Parliament is on recess until May 1. Garneau will have to act quickly after that to get the bill through the Commons and the Senate before the summer recess in mid-June.

Among the issues to be covered in the bill will be: • The future of the 160-kilometre extended interswitching limit in the Prairie provinces; • The requirement under the Canada Transportation Act to move minimum volumes of grain; • Clarification of adequate and suitable service; • Financial penalties in the context of service level agreements; • The future of the maximum revenue entitlement; • Shippers’ recourse to dispute resolution processes; and • Access to market data.

“In addition, the legislative package will propose other complementary measures for strengthening the freight rail policy framework,” Garneau said.

The committee proposed 17

recommendations for the bill, which is needed to preserve the minimum volume requirement for the start of the 2017-18 crop year next August. The thrust of the report was to establish a power balance between the railways and shippers.

In the letter, Garneau said, “Canada has a world-class freight rail system, which directly supports our economic growth and trade agenda. Freight railways are critical links in many supply chains, including in the grain sector. Grain farmers and shippers depend on the freight rail system to get crops to market, allowing them to compete globally. The continued accessibility and efficiency of the freight rail system is therefore essential for the longterm strength and sustainability of Canada’s grain-handling and transportation system.”

The committee proposed an expanded role for the Canadian Transportation Agency in monitoring the performance of the railways. That included giving it the power “to issue temporary orders

authoritative source of data and information on the transportation system in general,” Frayne said.

Transport and StatsCan “will work together with other stakeholders in the transportation sector to establish a comprehensive, authoritative source of multimodal transportation data and performance measures,” he said.

“Other participants would include other levels of government, other federal government departments, industry, educational institutions and others with expertise or data to share in the area of transportation.”

The goal would be to provide “high-quality, timely and accessible data and analysis to support innovations that will move goods more efficiently across supply and distribution chains, getting them from the manufacturer and into the hands of consumers more quickly, affordably and sustainably,” he said. It would have an open data portal. “As is the case today, data would not be released publicly if it is protected under statute.”

to respond to system-wide service issues.” The government should also ensure the full potential of producer cars can be achieved.

In his report on the state of Canadian transportation, former cabinet minister David Emerson called for an Integrated Data Platform and Multimodal Data Dashboard to facilitate transport collection and processing.

Consideration should be given to housing this new entity with the Canadian Transportation Agency, he said.

In the budget, the government said it would create the Canadian Centre for Transportation Data (CCTD), with $50 million in funding over 11 years. Peter Frayne, a spokesman for Statistics Canada, said the CCTD would be a partnership between his department and Transport. It would not be set up as an independent body like the Grain Monitoring Program run by Quorum Corp.

“The proposed CCTD would be a partnership of Transport Canada, Statistics Canada and other parties to serve as an

CROP REPORT

Warmer weather has helped land dry over past week Manitoba Agriculture crop report issued May 8, 2017 Provincial summary Warm, dry and windy weather conditions prevailed across the province allowing for favourable drying of soil surface.

More and more fields are accessible for field work and seeding operations to progress.

P l a n t i n g o f c e re a l g ra i n s advanced the most. Field peas, canola and corn are also being planted.

Many areas continue to report soil conditions too wet to allow access with field machinery. Soil surfaces have dried nicely but lighter-textured soils are getting too dry and could use some rain.

Se e d i n g p r o g re s s va r i e s across the province with the most seeding reported in the South Central Region. It is estimated that 20 to 25 per cent of seeding is completed across the province.

Southwest Region Water levels in water ways continue to recede in most of the southwest part of the province. Moisture conditions are variable from one area to another. Warm weather and high winds over the past week in the region assisted in the dry-down process. Provincial and municipal road segments that closed due to high water levels continue to be repaired and are reopened as the water levels drop. Topsoil temperature is increasing continuously with the above-normal temperatures experienced last week.

Rain on the weekend in parts of the region brought five to 25 mm with most of it falling in the northern areas of the region.

Highest amount of precipita-

tion received was recorded in the Minnedosa, Forest, Rossburn, and Ste. Rose areas.

Very little precipitation was received south of Highway No. 1 during the week. Field activities will be impacted with this recent rain in some areas.

Seeding is progressing with 10 to 15 per cent done in the Southwest Region. Most seeded acres are cereals field peas and and some canola. In areas north of Highway No. 1 only five to 10 per cent seeding is completed.

There are some areas close to Brandon which have higher percentages of acres seeded.

Winter wheat and fall rye are regrowing well in most areas.

Producers are planning for fertilizer and herbicide applications as conditions allow.

Weeds are growing well under the recent warm weather conditions. Pre-seed burn-off treatments are being applied to control weed growth.

Harrowing and field cultivation are taking place in most areas this past week. Parts of fields remain too wet to do field work. Warmer weather has accelerated forage growth over the last week.

Northwest Region The Northwest Region experienced warmer weather throughout the week with temperatures turning cooler by the weekend. There were high winds and showers over the weekend, with precipitation ranging from 13 to 22 mm in the Dauphin/Sifton area.

This brought a temporar y halt to most field operations.

Generally, soil moisture is rated as surplus to adequate through-

out the region. Only welldrained sandy soils are rated as drier.

Field operations are just beginning throughout most of the region as producers are challenged with determining which fields are dry enough to enter. Fields in The Pas remain wet with limited spring activity occurring. Many producers throughout the region are also challenged with management of unharvested acres of canola, peas and corn. Generally, field activity includes harrowing, fertilizer application, and preseed herbicide applications. So far the majority of seeded acres have been field peas and a good start of seeding spring wheat.

Relatively mild winter temperatures and adequate snow cover resulted in excellent overwintering of winter cereals.

Weed growth including stinkweed, dandelions and wild oats is general throughout the area.

Volunteer grain including cereals and canola is evident in many fields. There is minimal insect activity to date.

Forages have just begun to green up benefiting from last week’s warmer temperatures although growth is limited to date. Good progress was made last week fertilizing forage stands on drier fields. The significant rainfall in some areas has saturated pastures and ceased all field work likely for the remaining part of the week.

Central Region Much change was seen in the last week. Weather conditions improved significantly, and warm, sunny weather with drying winds rapidly improved

seedbed conditions. Daytime highs have been in the mid-20s, with overnight temperatures staying above freezing throughout the week. Seeding continues, with significant progress made in southern parts of the region. Minimal if any precipitation received during the week.

Much of the region reports wet conditions as a carry-over from last fall precipitation. As a result, a higher-than-average number of fields required heavy harrowing or cultivating prior to seeding. More spring fertilizer is being applied, as producers were unable to get onto fields in the fall. Normal fall cultivation wasn’t possible, and in many cases, rutted fields need to be worked and prepared for seeding.

Seeding overall ranges from 30 to 60 per cent complete, with most progress made in eastern and southern parts of the region. A few producers have wrapped up seeding operations.

In areas where field conditions allow, the majority of cereals are planted. The earliest-seeded fields are starting to emerge. There are some indications of lower-than-average cereal acres expected.

Canola acres range from 10 to 65 per cent seeded, with progress most advanced in areas to the east and south. A few flea beetles, both striped and crucifer, have been spotted during warmer periods, but no feeding evidence on volunteer canola to date.

The majority of field pea acres have been seeded. Corn continues to go in, ranging from 10 to 90 per cent complete, and sunflowers and flax are being seeded. Soybeans are at greater risk of frost damage once emerged. Soil temperatures are slowly increasing. Soybean acres range from 10 to 30 per cent complete, although some areas report higher numbers.

Winter wheat, fall rye and perennial ryegrass fields have been fertilized where possible.

Winter damage is a concern in some winter wheat and perennial ryegrass fields, ranging from minimal in the west and northwest, to 30 to 80 per cent in eastern areas. Hybrid fall rye has generally fared better. More snow mould reported, but at moderate levels.

Higher-than-normal level of winter annual and annual weeds are noted, including chickweed, shepherd’s purse, volunteer canola, along with dandelion. This may warrant either more cultivation or pre-seed burn-off treatment.

Annual weeds including wild oats, smartweed and wild buckwheat are emerging. Post-seed and pre-emergent herbicide applications are planned, but windy conditions are delaying spraying operations.

Pasture conditions are rated as fair; but range from poor to good. Excess moisture is a concern for some.

Eastern Region Precipitation received across the region this past week was minimal ranging from zero to 1.5 mm. Soil temps at five-cm depth ranged from about 8 to 10 C. Soil moisture conditions on cropland across the region

are rated as adequate to a slight surplus and varying from field to field. Soil moisture conditions on the majority of hay and pasture land are rated as adequate to surplus.

Winter wheat field assessments are nearing completion; it has been determined that very little of the crop has survived. Across the region, 75 to 95 per cent of winter wheat acres appear to be winterkilled.

Some producers are trying to get enough field area together to grow seed for next year. Most fields are being worked under and will be reseeded to another crop.

We a t h e r l a s t w e e k w a s favourable for drying of field surfaces. Some fields are still too wet but many are accessible allowing producers to keep busy. Soil moisture is excellent underneath the drier crust on top. Seeding progress throughout the region is rapid.

Across the region it is estimated that 30 per cent of spring seeding is complete.

Spring wheat and corn is nearing completion in the region w i t h t h e re m a i n i n g a c re s likely being planted this week.

Planting for other spring cereals, canola and soybean has also begun; more acres will continue to go into the ground as weather and field conditions allow. Producers are expected to make rapid seeding progress throughout this week if favourable weather continues.

Producers are fer tilizing hay fields and evaluating pastures for regrowth. Hog operations are applying their stored manure on pastures, hay fields and some cropland.

Interlake Region Mild temperatures enabled producers to get a good start on seeding operations this past week due to drying conditions and less than 2.5 mm of precipitation throughout the region.

Soil temperatures are warming up and are in the 5 to 9 C range at five cm.

Seeding progress in south Interlake is 30 to 40 per cent complete with spring cereals over 50 per cent seeded. About 20 to 30 per cent of the canola is seeded and a small amount of soybeans are already planted.

Seeding progress in the north Interlake is two to seven per cent complete with primarily just cereals in the ground so far. Fertilizing and field preparation are well underway. Some pre-seed burn-off applications of glyphosate on annual cropland and Velpar on alfalfa seed fields.

Winter cereal regrowth is patchy and many fields are being taken out of production and reseeded to spring crops.

Native and tame pastures are providing very little feed from new growth so far this growing season. It is best to hold off putting cattle on pastures for a couple more weeks. Grazing other than stockpiled grass would hinder forage production going forward.

Tame forages are growing actively; grasses are five to 10 cm tall and alfalfa is one to five cm tall.

Canada and Mexico now the two amigos The countries are teaming up to sell NAFTA to the U.S.

BY DAVE GRAHAM AND DAVID LJUNGGREN Reuters / OTTAWA / MEXICO CITY

F

rom launching a data-mining drive aiming to find supply-chain pressure points to sending officials to mobilize allies in key U.S. states, Mexico and Canada are bolstering their defences of a regional trade pact President Donald Trump vows to rewrite.

Trump has blamed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for the loss of millions of manufacturing jobs and has threatened to tear it up if he fails to get a better deal.

Fearing the massive disruptions a U.S. pullout could cause, the United States’ neighbours and two biggest export markets have focused on sectors most exposed to a breakdown in free trade and with the political clout to influence Washington.

That encompasses many of the states that swept Trump to power in November and senior politicians such as Vice-President Mike Pence, a former Indiana governor of Wisconsin representative and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Prominent CEOs on Trump’s business councils are also key targets, according to people familiar with the lobbying push.

Mexico, for example, has picked out the governors of Texas, Arizona and Indiana as potential allies.

Decision makers in Michigan, North Carolina, Minnesota, Illinois, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, California and New Mexico are also on Mexico’s priority list, according to people involved in talks.

Mexican and U.S. officials and executives have had “hundreds” of meetings since Trump took office, said Moises Kalach, head of the Mexican private sector team leading the defence of NAFTA. Canada has drawn up a list of 11 U.S. states, largely overlapping with Mexico’s targets, that stand to lose the most if the trade pact enacted in 1994 unravels.

phone did not stop ringing in (Commerce Secretary Wilbur) Ross’s office. It did not stop ringing in (National Economic Council director) Gary Cohn’s office, in the office of (White House Chief of Staff Reince) Priebus. The visits to the White House from pro-NAFTA allies did not stop all afternoon.”

Among those calling the White House and other senior administration officials were U.S. Chamber of Commerce chief Tom Donohue, officials from the Business Roundtable and CEOs from both lobbies, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Mexico has been the prime target of NAFTA critics, who blame it for lost manufacturing jobs and widening U.S. trade deficits.

Canada had managed to keep a lower profile, concentrating on seeking U.S. allies in case of an open conflict.

That changed in late April when the Trump administration attacked Ottawa over support for dairy farmers and slapped prelim-

labelling rules, Canada retaliated by targeting exports from the states of key U.S. legislators.

A similar policy is again under consideration.

Mexico is taking a leaf out of a 2011 trucking dispute to identify U.S. interests that are most exposed, such as $2.3 billion of yellow corn exports.

Mexico is also targeting members of Trump advisory bodies, the Strategic and Policy Forum and the Manufacturing Council, led by Blackstone Group’s Stephen Schwarzman and Dow Chemical boss Andrew Liveris respectively.

Senior Trump administration officials and Republican lawmakers in charge of trade, agriculture and finance committees also feature among top lobbying targets.

Canada has spread the task of lobbying the United States among ministries, officials say, and is particularly keen to avoid disruption to the highly integrated auto industry.

A core component of Mexico’s strategy is to argue the three nations have a common interest

“We said: talk to the governor, talk to the members of congress, talk to your ex-governor, Vice-President Pence, and explain that if this goes wrong, the company is done.”

inary duties on softwood lumber imports.

Effective strategy Despite an apparently weaker position — Canada and Mexico jointly absorb about a third of U.S. exports, but rely on U.S. demand for three-quarters of their own — the two have managed to even up the odds in the past by exploiting certain weak spots.

When Washington clashed with Ottawa in 2013 over meat

in fending off Asian competition and exploring scope to source more content regionally.

The defenders of NAFTA also say that it supports millions of jobs in the United States, and point out that U.S. trade shortfalls with Canada and Mexico have declined over the past decade even as the deficit with China continued to climb.

Part of IQOM’s mission is to identify sectors where NAFTA rules of origin could be modified to increase regional content.

For example, U.S., Canadian and Mexican officials are debating how the NAFTA region can reduce auto parts imports from China, Japan, South Korea or Germany, Mexican officials say.

“The key thing is to see how we can get a win-win on the products most used in our countries, and to develop common manufacturing platforms that allow us just to buy between ourselves the biggest amount of inputs we need,” said Luis Aguirre, vice-president of Mexican industry group Concamin.

Have you heard?

Targeting allies To identify potential allies among U.S. companies and industries, Mexican business lobby Consejo Coordinador Empresarial (CCE) recruited IQOM, a consultancy led by former NAFTA negotiators Herminio Blanco and Jaime Zabludovsky.

In one case, the analysis found that in Indiana, one type of engine made up about a fifth of the state’s $5-billion exports to Mexico.

Kalach’s team identified one local supplier of the product and put it in touch with its main Mexican client.

“We said: talk to the governor, talk to the members of congress, talk to your ex-governor, VicePresident Pence, and explain that if this goes wrong, the company is done,” Kalach said. He declined to reveal the name of the company and Reuters could not immediately verify its identity.

Trump rattled the two nations in late April, when his administration said he was considering an executive order to withdraw from the trade pact, which has been in force since 1994. He later said he would try to renegotiate the deal first and Kalach said the lobbying effort deserved much credit for Trump’s U-turn.

“There was huge mobilization,” he said. “I can tell you the

“While we know sector challenges exist, our industry is still in a very strong position,” he told the Commons agriculture committee.

However, he added, FCC wants to extend a cautionary message to the industry about the current trends and ensure individual producers have the knowledge and the tools they need to prepare for tighter and more volatile times.

FCC says producers should be flexible in their balance sheets, ensure they have sufficient working capital and be prepared to guard against unfavourable changes in economic and market conditions.

sue efficiency improvements in their operations to counter any potential drop in revenues and ensure their long-term profitability. While farm income dropped in 2015 and 2016, it’s still strong, he said.

“Minimal increases in farm input costs, as well as a low Canadian dollar, should continue to buffer producers from the impact of possibly lower cash receipts,” he said.

FCC focuses on risk management and as a result, “more than 99 per cent of FCC’s portfolio is performing and in good standing, which means customers are paying back their loans as per the agreed-upon terms.”

Hoffert also said they work to provide farmers with advice on managing their business and to plan for unexpected challenges, and how to work through them.

FCC holds about one-quarter of the national farm debt. More than 80 per cent of its customers are small- and medium-size farms.

Hoffert said farm asset appreciation in recent years has mostly kept pace with farm debt levels because of rising land values. While land values rose by 7.9 per cent in 2016, FCC’s Farmland Values Report shows “the substantial farmland value increases of recent years are losing steam.” The report also notes it is the third consecutive year the rate of increase declined year over year. FCC has stated it expects a “soft landing” for the farmland market.

“Strong income, increased profitability, and low interest rates have pushed up asset values, which in turn drive up demand for credit,” Hoffert said.

“As a result, in 2015 we saw an increase in farm debt that for the first time in many years exceeded farm asset appreciation. Yet, the ratio of debt-toasset values in 2015 remains lower than the 10-year average.

It is also important to emphasize that net worth in Canadian agriculture also kept rising, a sign of a healthy industry.”

Tom Rosser, assistant deputy agriculture minister in charge of the Strategic Policy Branch, said data gathered by the department shows 60 to 70 per cent of farm assets are in land and buildings.

“In recent years, we have seen significant capital investments in machinery and equipment,” he said. “Part of the debt that we have seen the agriculture sector take on over the past couple of years wasn’t simply to buy land, a significant portion was in productivity-enhancing investments and machinery and equipment and other things.”

With the government’s commitment to boost agri-food exports, officials are looking at federal policies and programs in terms of whether they support the goal of $75 billion in exports in 2025, he said.

“The attainment of the target, the growth in the value of our exports, will require significant amounts of capital, both in the primary agriculture industry as well as in the processing sector,” Rosser said. “As part of a broader consideration of the role of government in enabling the attainment of the target for exports, certainly access to capital is an important consideration.”

He also said an analysis of farm debt “showed, in general, that debt levels tended to be higher with larger, higher-revenue operations, and that a significant portion of the lower-revenue farms were actually debt free.”

Goat yoga makes Manitoba debut Yoga moves out of the studio and into the farmyard as enthusiasts flock to goat yoga

BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff / Anola

M

ove over Vancouver a n d l o o k o u t Ne w York, goat yoga is taking Anola by storm — but there is a Manitoba twist to the growing fitness trend.

“It’s goat yoga, but it’s also more than that,” said Tara McKean, owner of 10 Acre Woods near Anola, which recently added yoga sessions to its roster. “It’s goat-farm yoga, because it’s all the animals that are out there, not just the goats.”

Pa r t i c i p a n t s g ra b a m a t and head through two sets of gates before claiming a patch of ground atop a small hill.

Then, just as the yoga instructor guides them into their first pose, the ark unloads its bounty.

“I’ll put down some initial, thanks for coming because I called you grain, and then they just hang out. They walk in between them, the ones that can walk underneath them do, the ducks are even walking through them,” said McKean, who is on hand throughout the yoga classes, keeping a watchful eye on animals and humans alike. “Currently we have goats, sheep and an Alpaca, ducks, geese, pigeons, a peacock, chickens, turkeys, two different kinds of pigs, rabbits, dogs… and I think that’s about it.”

But it’s the goats that are the stars of the show, jumping on and off of participants, exploring, smelling and occasionally nibbling the odd shoelace.

“The babies are of course babies, so they chew on shoelaces and all that, but their attention span is about an hour — the animals, not the humans — and then they will just kind of lie down on this person’s mat or that person’s mat,” she said.

“It’s truly really neat to see.”

For Christine Collett, a yoga instructor used to teaching outdoor classes, the chance to lead goat yoga was too good an opportunity to pass up.

“A f r i e n d t a g g e d m e o n Facebook, asking me if I’d ever want to teach yoga with goats and I laughed, thinking that sounded pretty cool, like the best job ever, but also thinking it was in the States or somewhere else. Then I looked closer and I was like, wait a minute! I think this is in Canada!” she said. A few days later she had connected with McKean and was signed up as one of the six yoga instructors who teach at the animal rescue and petting farm.

“You’re not the centre of attention with goat yoga, that’s for sure, it’s more about the animals… people are more likely to be interacting with the animals than to be paying attention to the yoga,” she said, adding there has been n o s h o r t a g e o f h u m o ro u s

moments during the hour-long classes.

“We’ve have goats jumping on people’s backs, on their bums, roosters on people... I’ve had a goat fall asleep between my legs while I was in a pose, it’s random, but it happens often.”

But once the goats have a nibble and participants finish taking goat selfies, classes do begin to develop a calming rhythm everyone seems to enjoy.

“Even the animals feel it,” Collett said. “Usually when we start yoga it is really loud and then as soon as we get into the yoga flow even animals get quiet. It’s like everybody knows it’s calm time.”

McKean, who founded 10 Acre Woods two decades ago, said the yoga classes are as much as about connecting

with animals as they are about mindful stretching.

“I’m not a yoga person, but I mean I’ve always been a huge believer in animal therapy,” she said. “And to put it with a healthy, living aspect like the yoga, it just adds a whole other dimension. It is about the animals and animal therapy, but when you do yoga, you’re also getting into a meditative state, so now you are more open to the animal therapy.”

Whatever the draw, there has been no shortage of participants eager to add some goat to their downward dog. Andrew Bonden and Kendra O’Hearn drove out from Ontario for the day, just to see what the experience would be like.

“We came out from Kenora just because Kendra loves baby goats,” said Bonden, adding he’d been looking for something

unusual and fun to try over a weekend. When asked if he would do it again, his answer was a resounding, “absolutely.”

McKean, or “head momma” as she is sometimes called, doesn’t see interest in goat yoga slowing down any time

soon, adding even bachelorette groups have made inquiries in recent days.

“People like goats,” she said.

“People really like spending time with them.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Prairie fare The truth behind nutrition and health headlines Asking questions is a great start when it comes to sorting fact from fiction

BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

A

“

n intern was asking how many cans of pop you drink a day,” one of our program assistants commented a few years ago.

“She said you carry around a can of soda all day,” the program assistant continued with a laugh.

She knew the truth and was teasing me.

“It’s the same can!” I replied. “After I drink the pop in the morning, I rinse out the can and fill it with water twice because I wasn’t drinking enough water. Let her know I don’t drink several cans of pop a day.

“I recycle the can, too,” I added.

Carrying a can of soda was creating false perceptions, and I was feeling guilty about this indulgence.

I gave up my one-can-a-day diet soda habit. I switched to water in a water bottle.

I mostly was concerned about bathing my teeth with acidic fluid.

Media from Facebook to TV have been exploding lately with news of a “link” between diet pop and health consequences, including strokes and Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers, however, did not show this was “cause and effect.”

I think we all know that soda of any kind is not a “health food.” The results of the study most likely will prompt further research in the area of soda and health, and that is a good thing. Drink more water in the meantime.

Unfortunately, the short blurbs about scientific research that we read or hear about in the news do not provide all the details or indicate the limitations that the authors of the study disclosed in the article they published about their research.

The scientific details are not always interesting, but catchy headlines get people to pay attention. See https://www.ndsu. edu/boomers and click on “Finding the Truth” for more information on this topic.

I ’d l i k e t o s h a re p a r t o f a n N D S U Extension Service publication that lists some questions you should ask. With information coming at us from many directions, asking these questions will help you sort through what to believe. Think

Don't believe everything you see or hear. Asking a few questions and having a bit of healthy skepticism can let you make better decisions. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK

about these questions when you evaluate a product advertised in a magazine, on TV, on Facebook, by email or in a newspaper headline about the latest study: • Does the advice or product promise a quick fix? Complicated medical problems seldom have quick, effortless or simple solutions.

• Does the advice cast doubts about current food or lifestyle practices? Question whether you need the product to make you healthier, or can you make some changes for a healthier you? Often some changes in our lifestyle, diet and exercise habits are what could help us feel better and more energetic, not some “special” product or food.

• D oes it sound too good to be true? Be careful when a product is advertised as a “cure” for serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease or arthritis. Be careful when a product is being sold for many different conditions. Some of the conditions a product is supposed to cure run the gamut from migraine headaches, ingrown toenails and fatigue to allergies.

• Does the advice draw simple conclusions from complex studies? Stories on new research findings frequently omit details that would enable you to judge how the study could relate to your diet and nutritional needs.

• A re recommendations based on a single study? One study may not prove anything, but several studies in which evidence accumulates bit by bit can uncover the truth.

• Does the advice cast doubts about reputable scientific organizations? Do not be made skeptical or fearful by implication. Seek facts that support or counter accusations.

• D oes the advice provide lists of bad and good foods? Variety is not only the spice of life; it is the basis of a safe and healthful diet. Don’t exclude foods or food groups. What you don’t eat can affect your health, too. No miracle food or product is available, and healthy individuals have no forbidden foods.

• Is a product being sold as the solution to the problem? Keep in mind that the seller may be more interested in your money than your health. These people usually are very convincing, and many of them are true believers in what they are selling.

• Does the advice refer to studies reported in non-scientific sources? Publication in a peer-reviewed journal is a good indication that an expert panel has reviewed the claims. Success based on testimonials and case studies does not prove the usefulness or safety of any product.

• D oes the advice include recommendations drawn from studies that ignore differences among individuals or groups?

Animals and people are different. Men and women are different. Also, age, economics, race and many other factors are important.

Each “Yes” answer raises a red flag. Dig a little deeper and look a little further when the flags go up.

How about a game of pickleball?

It’s easy to learn and can either be played fast and competitive or slower and recreational

By Donna Gamache Freelance contributor

W

ith Canada’s 150th birthday coming soon, ParticipACTION is once again urging Canadians to make physical activity a vital part of everyday life. “Sit less and move more” is a motto we could all adopt. One way of doing that is to take up a new sport, and in our town there’s a new game — pickleball.

Pickleball is a racquet sport, combining parts of tennis, badminton and table tennis, which was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, not far from Seattle, Washington. Originally it was developed by three fathers as a backyard game for their children.

Since then, the game has become popular with adults and has been slowly spreading across the United States. According to a 2016 report by the U.S. Sports & Fitness Industry Association, there are over 2.5 million pickleball participants in the U.S. The sport is now growing in Canada and internationally, as well. In rural Manitoba, pickleball is often brought back by returning snowbirds who have enjoyed the game during a winter stay down south. Some secondary schools also have used this in gym classes.

It’s an easy-to-learn game that can be played at a fast and competitive level for young, athletic types, or at a slower, recreational level for children or seniors.

Where did the name come from? There are various accounts,

Pickleball paddles are smaller than a tennis racquet but larger than a ping-pong paddle. PHOTOS: DONNA GAMACHE

and one version suggests it was named from the term “pickle boat,” a somewhat derogatory term meaning a rowing team which has leftover oarsmen not chosen for other boats. Another version is that it was named after a dog belonging to one of the three inventors.

An official pickleball court measures 20x44 feet, the same size as a doubles badminton court. The net is a slightly modified tennis one averaging a height of 36 inches. There are right and left service courts, like tennis, and a seven-foot non-volley zone (called “the kitchen”) next to the net. For unofficial recreational purposes, the size can vary, using a court existing from another sport. It can be modified for indoor or outdoor play.

In our town, the game is played in the curling rink with two

courts marked out. Rules are similar to tennis but with a few modifications.

Players need a net, a pickleball and a pickleball paddle which is smaller than a tennis racquet, but larger than a ping-pong paddle. Today they are made from lightweight, composite materials, weighing about eight ounces.

The pickleball, about the size of a tennis ball, has holes through it, like a whiffle ball, and there are different ones for indoors or outdoors. For a recreational game, no special clothing is required (although an Internet search shows there is an official line of apparel available, and several websites selling specialty pickleball T-shirts). Equipment is also available online or at some sports equipment stores. The paddles cost about $40 each, or can go up to $100 plus.

The game can be played indoors or out.

Like tennis, pickleball matches can be either singles or doubles.

The ball is served underhand, diagonally, from below waist level, and points are scored if the opponent faults (doesn’t return the ball, steps into the non-volley zone, or hits the ball out of bounds). A win is the first to score 11 points, and leading by at least two. The receiving player(s) must allow the ball to bounce once before any volleys are allowed, and cannot spike from the nonvolley zone. Players announce the score each time before they serve, to keep track of their progress.

In Manitoba, several towns now have pickleball games and it seems to spread as more people learn about it. In MacGregor, since the curling rink is used, the sport starts up in April, after the ice is taken out. Last year only

one court was made, but this year, with increased interest, we have two courts, so eight people can play at a time. If more than that come, then players take turns. Our recreational program supplies the equipment for those who don’t have their own.

Fortunately we have a couple of players with some experience, who are able to explain the game to beginners like myself, and offer a few hints to improve our score. The game as we play it, isn’t too strenuous, since most of us are seniors or middle age. It’s an enjoyable way to socialize and get a little exercise at the same time. If your community has a facility where pickleball could be played, it’s definitely worth investigating.

Red Threads — a showy plant with burgundy leaves Whether in a container outside, in the ground, or even in the house, this plant will be a colourful addition It is an easy-to-grow plant, preferring moderate moisture and ordinary planting medium.

By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

l t e r n a n t h e ra f i c o i d e a Re d Threads is a showy plant with n a r r ow b u r g u n d y, a l m o s t grass-like leaves. Densely branched and compact, it is a wonderfully colourful plant, and its compact, tightly mounded growth habit produces solid masses of burgundy. I’ve seen it displayed as a single potted plant and also in large hanging baskets, so it can be used in a variety of ways.

T h e b u r g u n d y c o l o u r o f Re d Threads will be more intense in full sun but it can be grown in light shade as well. It grows about 25 cm tall but a single plant can get to be 40 cm wide. It is an easy-to-grow plant, preferring moderate moisture and ordinary planting medium. In containers it needs to be fertilized, but when planted in the ground it does not require any additional nutrients besides those in the soil, unless the soil is particularly lacking in fertility.

Red Threads is quite heat tolerant and will not wilt during hot days.

Besides being used in hanging baskets and containers, this colourful plant has other uses in the landscape. It can be used toward the front of a border, providing contrast to the

plants behind it. Either planted as an edging or placed here and there along the front of a border, its burgundy colour and fine texture make an effective display. Good companion plants are marigolds and “Zahara” and “Profusion” zinnias. It can be used to

echo other burgundy-leafed plants in a border to good effect. Because Red Threads can be clipped to maintain the desired shape, it might also be used in knot gardens and in carpet bedding designs, combined with “Lulu” marigolds, taller blue agera-

tum, scarlet sage, nicotiana, and other annuals with mounding, wellbehaved growth habits.

Red Threads can also be used as an indoor plant, where it will need to be located in as sunny a location as possible. Indoors, spider mites may be a problem so vigilance will be required to prevent these pests from getting established in the plant. In bright light the plants will produce flowers in the leaf axils but they are insignificant and almost indistinguishable from the foliage.

Alternanthera ficoidea Red Threads is a plant grown solely for its wonderful burgundy foliage, and perhaps one that will be seen used in many gardens this season.

Remembering the past

READER’S PHOTOs

By Shirley Christianson Freelance contributor

T

Arden and Shirley Christianson were married in 1944. COURTESY PHOTOS

his past Easter I was remembering where and what I was doing 73 years ago.

My husband Arden, and I were married March 29, 1944, and being in the air force he was slated to go somewhere overseas to join in the fighting to end the Second World War. We boarded a troop train in Portage la Prairie and arrived in Montreal on Good Friday.

Arden was stationed at Lachine, Que., but was on a two-week leave. We had enough money to stay for two nights at the luxurious Queen Elizabeth Hotel, so we rose early Easter Sunday to walk to Mount Royal and join in the Easter service and parade.

We were so happy to be married, but worried too. My brother, Mark Batters, a Spitfire pilot with 401 Squadron had been shot down and killed while flying over the English Channel to France on Dec. 4, 1942. He and his fiancée Barbara Gardiner, had planned to be married in 1943.

Our family’s hearts had been broken with the news of his death and my new husband and I were worried for our future together.

Thankfully, he returned two years later and we could celebrate 56 more Easters together.

Arden and his father and brothers became John Deere dealers in Portage in 1936 and sold to Enns Brothers in 1992.

This Old Elevator

I

n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba. Today, there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the legacy of these disappearing “Prairie sentinels.”

The Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Co-operator it is supplying these images of a grain elevator each week in hopes readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other elevator they know of.

MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has developed a website to post your replies to a series of questions about elevators. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that have served the farm community.

Your contributions will help gather historical information such as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and agents, rail lines, year elevators were built — and dates when they were torn down (if applicable).

There is room on the website to post personal recollections and stories related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one not included on that list.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the farm community's collective knowledge of what was once a vast network of grain elevators across Manitoba.

Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at: http://www. mhs.mb.ca/elevators.

You will receive a response, by email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received.

Goldsborough is interested in hearing all sorts of experiences about the elevators — funny, sad, or anything in between. Readers willing to share their stories can leave messages at 204-474-7469.

A 40,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at Elma was built in 1950 by the Canadian Consolidated Grain Company. Sold to United Grain Growers in April 1959, along with the rest of the company’s elevators, low grain-handling volume and increasing costs caused it to be closed in March 1964. The building was moved to Whitemouth and converted into an annex for an existing elevator there until the facility was closed in July 1979 and removed.

s Ag in Motion gains a whirlwind of momentum in its third year, attendees will see another site expansion to accommodate over 50 new exhibitors to the show this year.

This site expansion has created exhibit space for new companies like John Deere, Moody’s Equipment - New Holland dealer and Redhead - Case IH dealer. As a result, farmers will have even more selection when looking for the right equipment for their farming operation.

The new street, located on the East end of the show site, also makes room for companies to expand and bring more equipment than in

previous years. Look for returning companies with bigger spaces, like Brant, Full Line, Unverferth Mfg. Co., Co-op and Ag Growth International (AGI).

Ag in Motion continues to grow in size to keep up with its exhibitor and attendee numbers. In 2017, the number of Meridian People Movers will be doubled and new routes will be introduced.

Both attendees and exhibitors will be able to hitch a ride to and from the parking lots, as well as throughout the show site.
