lot of Manitoba farmers are hoping for a slow, soaking rain soon, especially those in the central region, which started off drier than many other parts of the province this spring.

Last week one local farmer said he was knifing more canola seed into fields where much of his earlier-seeded canola germinated but then died because it was too dry.

Record temperatures and high winds late last week, and aboveaverage temperatures expected this week, will only dry soils more.

Some fields were blowing in the Carman, Miami, Winkler triangle last weekend.

The region saw scattered showers the evening of June 2, but most areas didn’t get much rain. The University of Manitoba’s Carman research centre received just 0.4 mm.

As of press time Monday, scattered thundershowers were forecast for Tuesday but the probability of precipitation was low.

Thundershowers are notoriously ‘hit and miss.’

Not only is canola, a smallseed, shallowly planted crop, at risk due to dry soils, but so are soybeans.

The good news is subsoil moisture is good in most parts

of the province, Bruce Burnett, Glacier FarmMedia’s director of Markets and Weather, said in an interview May 31.

“Overall we planted the crop in decent shape… but I will say moisture now is a concern, especially for the people who had to reseed canola because it was hurt by the frost,” he said.

“It is probably critical that we do get some rain here by the middle of June for some of these crops, but having said that, in a lot of areas, especially some of the cereal crops that were planted earlier, look pretty good

right now — the ones that got good emergence.

“Certainly if you are on sandy soils… yeah, you are going to need some moisture pretty quickly.”

Forage crops and pastures in the central region also need rain.

While there might have been reseeding claims submitted due to dry soils, as of May 31 a crop insurance official said he wasn’t aware of any.

“We haven’t seen big (numbers of) reseed claims to this point,” the official said.

There were a few due to win-

terkilled winter wheat and fall rye in eastern Manitoba and a few following frost that damaged some canola fields, but in total reseeding claims, so far, are below normal, the official said.

Farmers can make reseeding claims until June 20, which is the seeding deadline for cereals and several other crops in Manitoba.

To qualify for a reseeding benefit farmers must first get the field inspected by crop insurance. If the field has some living crop the farmer may be required See RAIN on page 7 »

esearchers from Montreal’s Concordia University say they’ve found a way to process waste into resources in colder climes.

They’re using cold-tolerant bacteria to fuel the process.

In a study published in the journal Process Safety and Environmental Protection, authors Rajinikanth Rajagopal, David Bellavance a n d Mo h a m m a d S a i f u r Rahaman demonstrate the viability of using anaerobic digestion in a low-temperature (20 C) environment to convert solid food waste into renewable energy and organic fertilizer.

They employed the bacteria to break down food waste in a specially designed bioreactor, producing a methane yield comparable to that of more energy-intensive anaerobic digestion processes.

“There is enormous potential here to reduce the amount of fuel that we use for solid waste treatment,” Rahaman said.

“Managing and treating

Over 1.3 billion tonnes of food waste are created globally each year. A new process promises to make converting it to fertilizer and fuel more efficient in cold climates. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK

food waste is a global challenge, particularly for cold countries like Canada where the temperature often falls below -20 C and energy demands related to heating are high.”

He also said the most commonly used forms of anaerobic digestion require large amounts of energy to heat the bioreactors and maintain temperatures for the bacteria’s optimal performance.

“What we’ve learned is that

we can now use adapted psychrophilic bacteria to produce a level of methane comparable to those more common forms, while using less energy.”

Globally, more than 1.3 billion tonnes of municipal waste are created each year, and that number is expected to increase to 2.2 billion by 2025. Most of it ends up in landfills where it biodegrades over time, producing a powerful greenhouse gas.

Call-in town hall urges biosecurity in face of PEDv outbreak The June 2 forum gave producers and industry representatives an update on PEDv

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

M

ore cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) have been confirmed in Manitoba, despite increasingly strenuous calls for producers to ramp up biosecurity.

Ten cases of PEDv were confirmed from April 29 to June 1.

“It’s all very well having a document or a set of directions from your veterinarian, but you’ve got to carry them out,” Andrew Dickson, Manitoba Pork Council general manager, said. “I think it’s incumbent on the owners and managers to talk over with their staff and actually observe what happens on a daily basis and try and determine whether there might be deficiencies and what needs to be changed in order to ensure that this terrible disease doesn’t get into their farms, because once you’ve got it, it’s quite expensive to get it cleaned up.”

The continuing outbreak prompted a call-in town hall June 2. The event was organized by Alberta Pork, seeking to inform producers there of the problem, and open to farmers in both jurisdictions.

Cases are contained to southeast Manitoba, but have spread past the initial cluster of infected farms. Six barns within five kilometres of each other have been infected in the same area that saw a spring 2016 outbreak of the disease, Dr. Glen Duizer of Manitoba’s Chief Veterinarian Office told listeners. Another 33 unaffected farms lie in the same area.

“It’s all very well having a document or a set of directions from your veterinarian, but you’ve got to carry them out.”

Andrew Dickson Manitoba Pork Council

The virus was later found in a second cluster about 20 kilometres away. Three farms have been infected, all within the five-kilometre buffer. The area, likewise, has ties to previous PEDv cases in fall 2014 and fall 2016, Duizer said.

A 10th case has been confirmed outside the clusters, but was linked by animal movements to another confirmed infection.

All farms are at various stages of cleanup and animals will be shipped to the United States, if possible, to avoid future contamination of Manitoba facilities.

The Chief Veterinarian Office is investigating overlap between barn staff, transportation, crosscontamination in loading areas and external service providers to track the disease. Feed, feed movements and deadstock are not considered vectors at this time, although followup is expected.

Shipments between Canada and the United States, where the virus is more prevalent, have been investigated over the last two years and are considered a risk factor, but not the sole factor, in PEDv’s spread, Duizer said.

PHOTO: thinkstock

He noted that PEDv brought in via shipments from the United States is more likely to infect yards than find its way inside barns, putting more importance on biosecurity.

Biosecurity over convenience The Manitoba Pork Council has noted biosecurity gaps in several operations, listeners heard June 2.

“Everyone has a different scenario and different situation and we’re not being critical or anything, it’s just we’re not sure if, whether they changed their practice, would that have prevented the disease coming in? We’re not sure,” Dickson said.

Mark Fynn, Manitoba Pork Council manager of quality assurance and animal care programs, used the example of a Danish entry, a multi-stage procedure for changing clothes securely.

“People aren’t following it every time and that comes back to auditing of personnel at site,” he said. “Let’s make sure that we’re doing it every time and not just

for the main entrance, for every entrance to the barn.”

The council’s suggestions include off-site parking, thorough trailer cleaning, limited traffic on and off farms, designated barn clothing and limed driveways.

“No one’s ever said that biosecurity is convenient,” Fynn said.

“I’ve even heard that it’s not biosecurity unless it’s inconvenient, but these are important things because what’s more inconvenient is having a bunch of your pigs break with diarrhea and having to clean up a site and having to deal with all of the repercussions of that, let alone if it’s a sow barn that breaks and all the additional cost and loss of production that goes along with that.”

PEDv causes high mortality in suckling pigs, while older animals often recover.

Loading areas are a significant risk, Fynn said. Disease may enter on washing equipment itself and equipment should be cleaned or designated for loading area use only.

Fynn noted, however, that

barn staff generally avoid entering a trailer while transport staff do not enter the barns to limit contamination.

Cleaning trailers will be essential to preventing the virus, Fynn said. He suggested cleaning trailers between every load or, at minimum, between farms.

More control over farm entry is also necessary, he said. Deadstock and garbage pickup should be kept separate from parking areas and equipment transporting garbage or deadstock to the pickup should not come into contact with external service providers.

Likewise, listeners heard, biosecurity between barns on the same site may be as critical as biosecurity between farms.

“There are different ways of trying to cope with this, but it’s really important that you be very careful going from one barn to the next barn to the next barn so you don’t spread the disease,” Dickson said.

“You have to assume that the disease is in the actual environment that you’re walking across when you walk across the yard.”

Dickson noted that biosecurity has improved in the last 10 years, but largely evolved to manage other diseases.

“How we deal with PEDv is somewhat changing how we look at handling diseases and it’ll be a good lesson because if we can control for PEDv, we’re going to be able to control for a host of other diseases as well,” he said.

Audio of the June 2 town hall will be available on the Manitoba Pork Council PEDv website (http://www.manitobapork.com/ animal-care/swine-health/ped). astockford@farmmedia.com

U of M receives connectivity boost The Internet of things is set to make new inroads in agriculture

BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

T

he University of Manitoba will receive $500,000 from the newly merged telecom giant Bell MTS to fund a program aimed at developing an “Internet of things” in the agriculture and agri-food sector.

Bell Canada CEO George Cole made the announcement in Winnipeg last week, during a Chamber of Commerce luncheon, highlighting the company’s contribution to the university’s ongoing capital campaign.

While it’s still early in the development process, the university anticipates the Be l l M TS Innovations in Agr iculture Program will facilitate research that furthers precision agriculture, livestock and crop monitoring, as well as creating new mentorships and access to

new co-operative education opportunities.

“Working on IoT (Internet of things) solutions within the agriculture, food and nutrition sectors not only offers our students a unique skills development opportunity that will support their future career opportunities, it is critical to the advancement of our agriculture and food economy,” said Karin Wittenberg, dean of the faculty of agricultural and food sciences. “It’s a perfect match.”

Bell’s chief technology officer said that the company appreciated the contributions that schools like the University of Manitoba make to technology design and development. “ We’re ve r y p l e a s e d t o work with the University of Manitoba to create this opportunity for students and faculty to develop new and better IoT (Internet of things) solutions for a sector that

“Connectivity is a huge deal.”

Jared Carlberg

is a mainstay of Manitoba’s economy and important to all Canadians,” said Stephen Howe.

The company noted that there are links between its decision to fund connectivity in rural Manitoba and its planned $1-billion investment in expanded and improved networks in the province. “ W h i l e w e h a v e n’t announced all our plans for Manitoba, bringing state-ofthe-art broadband technology to rural and remote parts of the province is certainly a big part of what we’ve already committed to, including continuous broadband wireless coverage along Highway 75

in southern Manitoba,” said a spokesperson for the company. “The $500,000 Bell MTS Innovations in Agriculture Program at the University of Manitoba is certainly linked to our $1-billion capital investment plan for Manitoba in that the expanded and improved broadband netw o r k s w e’re b r i n g i n g t o Manitoba will provide the necessary backbone to truly leverage the kind of Internet of things applications students and researchers at the university will be developing.”

Jared Carlberg, associate dean of academics in the faculty of agricultural and food sciences, said that the reality is that students leave university and enter a wired world.

Increased Internet and cellular services in rural areas, along with new applications and research, will all benefit agriculture, he added.

“Connectivity is a huge deal,” he said. “It’s one of those things where great

strides have been made by Bell MTS and other providers in recent years. I don’t think that anybody would suggest the service is perfect, but I know everyone is dedicated to improving it... personally I am confident that Bell MTS and other providers will work very hard to make sure that happens.”

Students are also enthused about Internet of things and its applications in agriculture, Carlberg said.

“I am excited about the enthusiasm I see from the providers in improving this area of service for our agricultural producers, who are obviously the lifeblood of the province,” he said. “As someone who is very sympathetic to the farming industry and a former farm kid myself, I’m very sensitive to this need as well and I know many of our stockholders in the agriculture industry are as well.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Punching above their weight

A

nyone who feels farmers are a spent political force in Canada need only consult the results of the recent Conservative Party of Canada federal leadership race.

Farmers may make up less than two per cent of the national population, but that Saturday night, as delegates voted for a new leader, a relative handful of farmers clearly punched above their political Gord Gilmour weight.

Editor Supply-managed producers from Quebec and Ontario had organized to get out the vote against Maxime Bernier, who came into the convention a favoured front-runner.

The issue that galvanized these farmers into action was Bernier’s blunt repudiation of the supply-managed commodities as unfair to Canadians.

Organizing through word of mouth and social media, they quickly pulled together a good old-fashioned political ground game which included letters to the editor, attending leadership debates, lobbying other party members and taking out party memberships to vote.

It would seem that it worked in spades; Bernier even lost his own riding in the Quebec agricultural heartland of Beauce to upstart Saskatchewan MP Andrew Scheer by the end of the night.

Scheer captured 51.1 per cent of the vote from those representatives, compared to Bernier’s 48.9 per cent, according to CBC news.

By their actions, these farmers have influenced the political fate of the nation for years to come.

The Conservatives will head into the 2019 election not with a bilingual Quecbecois at the head of the party, but with a rockribbed social conservative from Saskatchewan. He is bilingual, but is unlikely to make major inroads into Quebec, political analysts say.

Scheer is, by many estimations, also a compromise ‘anyone but’ candidate who brings with him some electoral baggage.

Most notably he’s seen as a continuation of the legacy of Stephen Harper, something he’s never denied. What remains to be seen is if voters have any appetite to return to that camp after just four years. His social conservatism, pundits say, won’t play well in urban areas, which is where nearly 80 per cent of Canada’s population reside.

At least some are already conceding the 2019 election to Trudeau, and fretting future elections might also turn out to be more of the same.

Regardless of the long-term implications of how this will play out nationally, what’s immediately interesting is how supplymanaged farmers managed to make their voice heard loudly and clearly in the political process.

At least for now, supply management is once again the third rail of Canadian politics, one that no candidate wants to step on.

It was clearly an effective tactic — but over time, will it prove to have been an effective strategy? There are a few inherent dangers.

The first and most important is the risk of backlash. Will they be seen as having derailed the leadership contest as simply another special interest?

It would seem some are already seeing it that way. Financial Post columnist and comment editor Terence Corcoran, a noted supply management critic, was particularly pointed in his words: “Bernier would have won the leadership were it not for voterigging infiltrators from the farmers’ unions and associated backers of supply management.

“One source says that as many as 3,000 points went to Scheer, mostly in Quebec and Ontario, as a result of an organized campaign in which farmers temporarily joined the Conservative Party and then cast votes against Bernier.

“Bernier didn’t lose the leadership vote; it was stolen from him by a concerted campaign organized by members of Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA) and farmers in Ontario.”

Farmers indisputably had the right to participate in the campaign as they did, but playing the game may also make them ‘fair game’ for political criticism and action.

Perhaps the largest danger may come from the vanquished Bernier himself. He arrived at the convention with a comfortable, if not commanding, lead. He’s surely smarting from the defeat and, human nature being what it is, some resentment may creep in.

While supply management supporters have long painted him as hostile to their interests, it’s important to note he never called for farmers to be disadvantaged by policy changes and advocated for a planned and funded withdrawal from the system.

These farmers would do well to consider other Canadian political careers that were thought to be on the ash heap after leadership convention losses. They include names such as Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien, two of the longest-serving prime ministers in living memory.

Bernier could well return triumphant in a few years, and by then, his attitude towards supply management may have hardened.

It’s unexpected to see farmers play such a pivotal role in national politics again. Hopefully they won’t come to regret their actions. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

New vision for supply management

BY AL MUSSELL Agri-Food Economic Systems

S

upply management has proven robust in important respects. Regulating production, restricting imports and offering stable returns to producers at a favourable level are the foundational pillars for supply management.

The Canadian dairy industry has avoided drastic drops in milk prices, followed by prolonged low milk price periods and associated financial stress that has repeatedly occurred in much of the global dairy market.

Poultry and egg supply management has allowed for an independent, decentralized farm segment, and yet has accommodated forward integration of some producers, while pricing at the cost of production.

Supply management has not proven particularly frail or fragile in the face of trade liberalization.

Supply management continues to attract periodic attention, but there is no indication of the imminent public catharsis over supply management and high food prices.

This situation has been managed through a willingness to adjust elements of supply management to a changing market, policy, and technology context.

It is evident in the adjustments made to change from binding import quotas to tariffs and tariff rate quotas over 20 years ago, in how the concept of “cost of production” in pricing has changed over time and even in what aspects of supply-managed markets are actually covered by cost-of-production pricing.

It is also evident in marketing adjustments made to accommodate new technologies, such as whey recycling in cheese manufacturing and the use of concentrated skim products, and in the growth in further processed poultry and egg products.

OUR HISTORY:

U

Adjusting these instruments can be difficult.

Smooth adjustment is typically not an attribute of complex systems modulated by regulation.

But a basic question is, what objectives are we pursuing in adjusting the instruments of supply management?

The instruments of supply management we see today are artifacts of a past, honed over time, based upon past aspirations and fears.

This environment, in turn, generates the baseline or status quo conditions for supply-managed industries of today. These define the relative price levels in Canada versus elsewhere, quota values, and economically feasible scales of operation in Canada versus elsewhere.

Canadian farm prices in supply-managed commodities are relatively high and are broadly more stable than prices elsewhere.

Quota prices are high and stable to increasing in value as a capital asset.

Canadian farms in supply-managed products are relatively small in scale versus benchmarks elsewhere (notably the U.S.).

The number of farms in Canada producing supply-managed products is declining at a similar rate to that in other countries, at least in comparison with those in which the farm segment has not already been vertically integrated.

What are today’s aspirations and fears in supply management? By default they appear to be protection of the status quo in supply-managed industries — both a weak and probably untenable objective.

However, as market, technology, and policy factors continue to evolve, a renewed set of objectives for supply management is required to interpret its legacy instruments, and identify positive direction for change.

Al Mussell is research lead for the Agri-Food Economic Systems independent economic research organization and author of the policy paper Recasting a Robust Vision for Supply Management this column is excerpted from.

June 1984

niversal tractors advertised in our June 14, 1984 issue were available in two- and four-wheel drive in 35 to 100 hp.

The crop report in that issue said that as of June 12, most seeding was complete except in the northwest, where there had been heavy rain in the Dauphin, Ste. Rose and Swan River areas.

Concerns were being raised about the operation of the Vancouver rapeseed contract on the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange. Cargill reportedly had taken delivery of 1,700 of the 2,400 contracts and was being accused of cornering the market. While spokesmen for Cargill, the commodity exchange and the Canadian Grain Commission (which at that time supervised Winnipeg futures) denied there was manipulation, rapeseed futures had recently exceeded $700 per tonne compared to the previous record high of $467.40.

In stark contrast to today, with cream in high demand, the good news in 1984 was that “Excessive cream production shouldn’t be a problem” in the coming dairy year. Cream production had spiked after a cream shipper successfully appealed a marketing council ruling that cream shippers could not convert to milk production. After that, several raised production to have more milk quota when it transferred.

The Canadian Wheat Board was celebrating its anniversary in 1985, and had asked for suggestions on how to celebrate. In an editorial in its newsletter, the Kansas Wheat Commission noted Canada’s recent increase in wheat market share, and suggested the board celebrate by taking the year off.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Multinationals face new pressures in grocery stores

Consumers increasingly want fresh, unprocessed food. The middle of the store now sees less traffic and that’s clearly affecting sales for most grocery products

By Sylvain Charlebois Atlantic Institute for Market Studies

S

Letters

kippy peanut butter and Dad’s chocolate chip cookies are gone from the Canadian marketplace.

If you feel sad about seeing these iconic brands go, brace yourselves. It’s just the beginning.

Within days, two major U.S.-based food multinationals pulled well-known brands from the Canadian market.

Mondelez International discontinued the iconic Dad’s cookies and Hormel Foods pulled Skippy peanut butter from the Canadian market.

National brands are losing ground to private labels and fresh products. Grocery retailers revamp stores to expand the perimeters where produce, bakery, deli, meat and seafood occupy space. This means companies such as Sara Lee, Kraft Heinz, Hormel, Mondelez and Kellogg’s are losing ground.

Consumers spend about 74 per cent of their time in a store’s perimeter, where all the fresh products are displayed. This trend is increasing as more consumers look for fresh, unprocessed food. The middle of the store now sees less traffic and that’s clearly affecting sales for most grocery products.

Nurse practitioners good health-care option I am writing in response to Alexis Stockford’s article RMs looking for a few good medical recruits as doctors’ offices sit empty, in the May 18 issue of the Manitoba Co-operator. Thank you for acknowledging that nurse practitioners serve a vital role in primary health-care delivery in rural Manitoba.

I would like to elaborate on your description of their role. Nurse practitioners are autonomous and independent health-care providers that are able to treat clients of all ages in various settings including, but not limited to, personal care homes, admission and treatment privileges in hospitals (emergency), and in the community. In fact in Winnipeg, several nurse practitioners work in emergency departments. Similar to physicians we complete comprehensive assessments, order and interpret diagnostic tests, diagnose clients, arranging referrals to specialists (when applicable), providing treatments (e.g. medications and minor procedures), chronic disease management, screening for early disease detection, and healthy lifestyle coaching.

Manitoba nurse practitioners have the broadest legislated scope of practice across Canada.

Several Canadian grocers are pressuring multinationals by asking them to reduce wholesale prices.

Grocers are desperate to generate more business in the centre of stores.

They’re innovating and launching new product categories, some through their own brands.

But managing a food store is a merchandising nightmare compared to 30 years ago. The number of food items in a typical store has increased by more than 600 per cent over the last few decades. Consumers are bombarded with choices.

Recent food retailing miracles like coffee pods and gluten-free products have garnered some fascinating results. But such items can go only so far and both show signs they’ve reached their full potential.

Short of changing store design, what’s at stake is shelf space. Real estate in store aisles can be expensive for national brand owners. In addition to listing costs, companies pay a premium to effectively display their brands.

Meanwhile, grocers try to promote their private labels since margins are much

I believe it is essential to dispel the confusion surrounding where and when nurse practitioners can and cannot work.

Role clarity is essential to optimization of the nurse practitioner role in Manitoba’s health-care system.

Individuals unfamiliar with the work of nurse practitioners often have the notion that seeking care from these providers is second rate, and only reserved for instances when a physician cannot be obtained.

Research suggests otherwise and indicates nurse practitioners’ provision of care is comparable to their physician counterparts and can increase improved client health outcomes and reduce wait times at a substantially reduced cost to our evergrowing financial deficit in the public sector.

Given the increased stress placed on rural health care, I encourage individuals, communities, stakeholders, and all levels of government to consider innovative integration models of nurse practitioner care as a viable solution to our medical provider shortages.

Emphasis needs to be placed on recruiting or employing NP graduates to rural Manitoba. As an example, recruitment and retention in Ontario’s “Grow Your Own Nurse Practitioner” initiative allows for a vacant nurse practitioner position to be filled by sponsoring a registered nurse in their education to pursue a master’s degree in nurse practitioner studies. This is one solution for the community of Argyle that could enhance retention of its primary care providers.

The Nurse Practitioner Association of Manitoba feels strongly community members should be aware that nurse practitioners do not need physician oversight to provide care to their patients.

higher. Major food processors have had to pay more to get consumers’ attention.

Higher input costs and the will to build economies of scale have led to greater consolidation in global food processing, with more to come.

Several Canadian grocers are pressuring multinationals by asking them to reduce wholesale prices. Some of these requests have even been shared with media. They made the requests to reduce prices simply because they can. Unlike in the U.S., just a few players dominate Canadian food retailing.

That means the main grocers dictate pricing across the system. Still, profit margins remain modest due to higherthan-average logistical costs and demographic issues. So this vendor-grocer tug of war will likely continue.

The Canadian market is tricky for major processors. With barely 37 million consumers in one of the largest countries in the world, logistical costs can be prohibitive. Companies need a comprehensive portfolio of brands and

only large operations like Nestle and PepsiCo can afford to continue products in Canada while selling the same products elsewhere.

Smaller processors are becoming more strategic about what and where to sell. And a more targeted approach even has more merit for the big players.

Many multinationals, like food-service giant McDonald’s, have learned that the hard way.

Seeing major national brands leave the marketplace isn’t necessarily undesirable.

In fact, it could lead to greater opportunities for Canadian entrepreneurs.

Canadian-based food processors could fill the void with local food products.

If we can just embrace food innovation, make more venture capital available to entrepreneurs, get more skilled labour and improve market access, domestically and internationally, we should see more domestic food processors succeed.

This won’t happen overnight – we have a lot of work to do. A strong foodprocessing sector increases the chance for any nation to gain control of its food destiny. This is certainly worth pursuing.

CFA supports food policy The federal effort will spark conversations on the importance of food and agriculture

BY RON BONNETT CFA president

T

he Canadian Federation of Agriculture is pleased to see a clear commitment by the federal government toward developing a food policy for Canada, as this addresses a longstanding priority for farm groups.

C o n s u l t a t i o n s o n c re a t i n g a national policy for food will spark important conversations among Canadians. These conversations will help inform an overarching vision and drive a m o re c o - o rd i n a t e d , c ro s s departmental approach to foodrelated issues.

CFA is encouraged to learn that 16 departments and agencies will be involved in the food policy’s development, particularly central agencies like Finance Canada and the Privy Council Office, as they will be instrumental in ensuring a whole-of-government mandate.

CFA is also pleased to see that the food policy consultation website is linked to previous initiatives, from both governmental and non-governmental groups, such as the Towards a National Food Strateg y document published in 2011 by CFA. This allows participants an opportunity to build on the great work that’s already been done in pursuing this complex policy objective.

Farm leaders saw the need for a widely co-ordinated approach several years ago, and are looking forward to actively participating as the consultation moves forward.

While much of the detail is s t i l l t o b e d e t e r m i n e d , C FA commends the Government of Canada for reaching out to stakeholders and setting the direction to see this longtime request put into place.

CFA will contribute to both the online survey and discussions at the Food Summit on June 22 and 23. In addition, CFA will undertake several other activities to find common ground with the many organizations exploring a food policy in Canada.

On June 5, CFA was to host a gathering of diverse stakeholders from civil society, the agrifood industry, indigenous groups, academia, and government for a collaborative discussion.

Attendees would explore some of the challenges and opportunities that must be confronted in developing a food strategy, and seek consensus on some of the measures and actions that would lead to a successful policy implementation.

Ron Bonnett is president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. This statment was originally published on the CFA website in response to the government’s announcement.

of grain marketing, said in an interview May 17. “Each individual month from September all the way through April we’ve had a record month for (moving) Canadian grain. And that’s when grain wants to move.

“It has been a record month, eight months in a row.

“It has been a really positive story.”

Between Aug. 1, 2016 and mid-May 2017, CN hauled 195,600 cars of western grain, up 10 per cent from the threeyear average, Kate Fenske, CN’s regional manager of public and government affairs wrote in an email. That translated into CN moving 17.6 million tonnes — 11 per cent more than the three-year average.

Overall, grain movement has been good this crop year, Mark Hemmes, the president of Quorum Corporation, which monitors grain shipping for the federal government, said in an interview in late April.

Total grain shipping, including by CP Rail, was up 2.3 per cent during the first nine months of the 2016-17 shipping season, Quorum’s April report states.

The Western Grain Elevators Association (WGEA) is pleased with the rail service too, executive director Wade Sobkowich, said in an interview May 30. He hopes it continues.

That’s CN’s goal, Przednowek said, noting that since 2009 CN’s grain traffic has jumped 45 to 50 per cent, while grain shipments to the United States are up 75 per cent.

From 2006 to 2009 CN, on average, shipped 3,600 grain cars a week. This crop year it has averaged about 5,400 a week, Przednowek said.

“The railway wants to move grain,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s commercial rates or revenue cap regulated rate, we get paid when we move a car. So the more we can move it’s worth marketshare, carloads, it’s revenues. It’s good for us, it’s good for the farmer. It’s good for everybody.”

“It’s a grain supply chain where everybody has got to be doing their part to help pitch in and make it more efficient and that’s happening.”

There are lots of reasons for CN’s success this crop year, but a lack of other products to haul isn’t one of them, Przednowek said.

CN Rail is transporting more Canadian and American coal and intermodal shipments are up too, he said.

“It’s not just one thing,” he said. “It’s a little bit of everything.

“That’s one of those misconceptions that’s out there. We are moving a lot of everything and on top of that we are delivering record grain movement in the fall and winter when the farmer wants to move it, which is a good thing.”

The WGEA has complained grain shipping suffers, especially following a disruption, because of all the other products the railways haul.

A WGEA brochure says in 2015-16 the railways shipped 30,000 more grain cars than the crop year before. That same year the railways also shipped 500,000 fewer total cars.

“When shipping is down in other industries at the same time grain shipping has improved, a reasonable person draws the conclusion that capacity has shifted from these other industries to grain,” Sobokowich said. “If CN is saying that’s not the case and shipping grain has nothing to

do with lower demand in other industries, then when those other industries improve we look forward to the same level of service from CN that we are experiencing today.”

More unit trains, generally good weather this winter, new CN infrastructure and efficiencies introduced by others have all contributed to CN moving more grain this crop year, Przednowek said.

“This is a grain supply chain,” he said. “It’s not a rail supply chain. So in terms of efficiency and improving cycle times you have to have a lot of things happening from all of the players in the supply chain to get those empties back into the country faster. You have more efficient loaders out there so your loading time in the country is less.

Grain companies have been making a lot of investments at the ports to be able to take more traffic off.”

Some grain companies are investing in equipment to charge rail car air brakes in the winter. CN’s Winter Ready Program gives elevators a $50a-car credit from December to March for air charging unit trains. Air pressure for braking is a key limiting factor in winter railway movement in frigid Western Canada.

“It’s a win-win with the shipper, but it also creates network capacity because you’re not wasting six or 12 hours sitting there waiting for the train to air up,” Przednowek said.

CN has also invested in “repeater cars” to help maintain air brake pressure. The cars are

equipped with diesel-powered air compressors. Temperatures of -25 C or lower make it more difficult to maintain air pressure, forcing the railways to run shorter trains, reducing capacity.

And while unit trains of 100 to 112 cars, loaded at one elevator, add efficiency, Przednowek said, CN’s manifest trains also increase capacity.

“Once we get to Edmonton we accumulate traffic from our regions,” he said. “We build big trains. We probably run 170 to 200 car trains into Vancouver.

“It’s a mix. It might be two unit trains that you built at Edmonton to pull to Prince Rupert or it could be a 100car train that you pulled from origin, plus some other traffic that wants to find its way to Vancouver. So we build more of a manifest service. We’re not as focused in pure unit train shipments as some of the other carriers are.”

Manifest trains seem counterintuitive, but Przednowek explained it this way: “You only have so many slots in a given day (on the track) that you can run to the port. Think about it.

If you’re running a big train — 170 or 200 cars versus that single unit train — that’s the way I look at it.”

Communication within CN, and with shippers in the country and terminal, is also key, Fenske said.

CN’s infrastructure investments, including more and longer sidings and more powerful locomotives, are paying off, Przednowek said.

Meanwhile, grain companies are expanding export capacity at Vancouver, including finding ways to load ships in the rain, he said.

“All those things around the margins, they all add up,” Przednowek said. “It means more movement at the peak.

“It’s a grain supply chain where everybody has got to be doing their part to help pitch in and make it more efficient and that’s happening. That’s a good thing.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

H A R D WO R K M AT T E R S ON AND OFF YOUR FARM.

CN Rail says it’s fully meeting grain shipper demand

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

Most weeks this crop year CN Rail has delivered more than 90 per cent of the cars grain companies ordered, according to Ag Transport Coalition’s (ATC) weekly reports.

That’s pretty good service, says Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevator Association and one of the ATC’s members.

David Przednowek, CN Rail’s director of grain marketing, disagrees with the ATC statistics.

“We (CN) can be definitive and say we met all the demand that was being thrown at us,” he said in an interview May 17, noting this winter CN parked 1,500 cars because they weren’t needed.

“Suffice to say if we were only meeting 90 per cent of the demand and have 1,500 cars parked and we’re chasing customers for orders, there’s a disconnect there. That’s the bottom line.”

The ATC was established following the grain-shipping backlog in 2013-14 to measure rail performance shipping grain.

The ATC reports the number of cars the vast majority of grain shippers ordered for delivery in a specific week and the number delivered. Cars that don’t arrive during the specific week are recorded as unfilled orders, even if they show up the following week.

“I think it’s misleading as to what is actually happening in the supply chain,” Przednowek said. “We are chasing customers for orders. We can do more. We’ve got cars parked and we’re only doing 90 per cent (of the orders)? I don’t think so.”

It makes sense to measure rail performance by the number of car orders that are filled, Sobkowich said in an interview May 30.

“Taking exception to ATC data is kind of like a business taking exception to the results from a customer satisfaction survey,” he said.

Przednowek also complained the ATC reports how many cars aren’t moving, but doesn’t explain why. It’s not necessarily the railway’s fault, he said.

That’s true, but it’s still important to collect and report the data to measure how well the grain system is performing, Sobkowich said.

There are times when grain company requests exceed what the railway can deliver, Przednowek said. For example, last August harvest was delayed, which nobody can control.

“A lot of demand flopped into September out of August and then demand built,” he said. “There was a week I remember when I think we had 7,100 or 7,200 orders.

The supply chain can’t do 7,100 or 7,200 orders. So yep, there’s unfilled demand.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

New guide explains rules for direct marketing food Plain language guide lays out regulations for production, processing and selling STAFF

M

a n i t o b a Agriculture has released a new guide that explains in clear language provincial regulations for producing, processing and s e l l i n g f o o d d i re c t t o consumers.

The eight-page guide Direct Marketing Your F o o d P r o d u c t c ov e r s a l l ow a b l e p r o d u c t i o n levels, grading requirements, and processing s t a n d a rd s. Sa f e f o o d handling practices and labelling requirements are also explained.

The release of the document fulfills a recommendation of the Small Scale Food Report released in January 2015, calling for development o f a ‘p l a i n l a n g u a g e g u i d e b o o k’ t o c l a r i f y what was otherwise being experienced as a confusing array of regulation available through too many government departments.

The guide covers specifics around processing, handling and direct marketing fruit and vegetables, honey, meat and poultry, dairy, eggs, and meat and meat products.

It also includes a glossar y explaining ter ms such as what a nonp o t e n t i a l l y hazardous food means and a frequently-asked-questions section covering matters s u c h a s re q u i re m e n t s for nutritional labelling and selling uninspected chicken or ungraded eggs.

Direct marketing year round is on the uptick in Manitoba but gears up w h e n s u m mer arr ives and many direct-to-consumers sales are made at farm gate, through delive r i e s a t p re - a r ra n g e d locations, communitysuppor ted agr iculture ventures (CSAs), and at farmers’ markets.

The guide book can be downloaded at http:// w w w. g o v. m b . c a / a g r i culture/food-and-agprocessing/pubs/directm a r k e t i n g - y o u r- f o o d product.pdf.

to destroy it before reseeding.

While that might not make sense to farmers, crop insurance says not doing so could result in uneven crop maturity.

Potential fraud is also a concern. Farmers could say they reseeded into a standing crop without having done so, to collect a reseeding payment.

Manitoba Agriculture’s May 29 crop weather report showed since May 1 much of agro-Manitoba was cooler and drier than normal.

Above-normal temperatures this and last week were expected to put growing degree days back on track (Manitoba Agriculture’s June 5 crop report was issued after this story was written.)

As of May 28 most of Manitoba Agriculture’s weather stations in central Manitoba reported having received less than 50 per cent of normal precipitation since May 1 (see map). The driest station, Baldur, was 28 per cent of normal, while the Manitou station was near normal at 97 per cent.

Much of the Interlake and

southwest Manitoba were drier than normal too, while the northwest was close to normal or above normal.

There are pockets in the northwest that are very wet, including The Pas, which received 82 mm of rain between May 1 and 29 — 259 per cent above normal, according to Manitoba Agriculture’s May 29 crop weather report.

“They have hardly turned a wheel up there,” an official said.

Things can always be worse.

Many farmers in northern Saskatchewan and Alberta had to harvest some of last year’s crop this spring before seeding this year’s crop, Burnett said. Many were not finished seeding as of June 1.

As provinces go we are probably in better shape that way,” he said.

“If you were to ask (Manitoba) farmers on March 1 what they needed, they would’ve all universally said ‘a dry spring.’ We are sort of getting what they asked for, but as usual we don’t want it to become extreme.”

Consultations begin toward national food policy Online survey and Ottawa summit will capture Canadians’ ideas about access to food and sustainable food systems

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

C

anadians now have their chance to weigh in on what they think is essential for a nationwide food policy.

Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay announced late last month that national consultations toward developing the complex policy initiative will take place this spring and early summer.

The consultations, which include an online survey, will invite Canadians to share their views around four themes including increasing access to affordable food, improving health and food safety, conservation of soil, water and air, and growing more highquality food.

A Food Policy for Canada will set a long-term vision for the health, environmental, social, and economic goals related to food, while identifying actions to take in the short term, a federal news release stated.

It would also be the first of its kind for the country.

“Food plays a critical role in the health and well-being of Canadians, while also having a direct impact on our environment, economy, and communities,” MacAulay said in a news release.

“Developing this food policy is an exciting opportunity for Canadians to have their say about how government can help address those opportunities and challenges that exist in our food system.”

The consultions, which will engage both governmental and non-governmental groups, will continue through to July 27 and include a two-day food summit June 22 and 23 in Ottawa.

Multiple groups have called for a shared national vision and strategy to address opportunities and challenges related to food and are welcoming the news.

A national food policy has long been a priority for farm groups and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture is pleased to see gov-

ernment forging ahead on this, said CFA president Ron Bonnett.

Farm leaders saw the need for a widely co-ordinated approach several years ago, and are looking forward to actively participating as the consultation moves forward, Bonnett said.

In 2011 the CFA published Toward a National Food Strategy (NFS) highlighting a series of themes including proposing a longer-term vision for food production and a plan that takes a more holistic approach to promoting consumption of Canadian food and healthy lifestyles while sustaining economic growth and ecosystems.

“Consultations on creating a national policy for food will spark important conversations among Canadians,” Bonnett said in a release.

This week the CFA is also hosting a gathering of diverse stakeholders from civil society, the agrifood industry, indigenous groups, academia, and government for collaborative discussions.

A national food policy is also

what groups such as Food Secure Canada have long been asking for. In 2011 it released its own proposal Resetting The Table calling for a much more holistic approach to increasing access to healthier food, reducing waste and creating more sustainable food systems.

“Every Canadian should be able to put healthy, affordable, sustainably grown food on their table,” said its executive director Diana Bronson.

The FSC notes that Canada has ratified the UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, giving government the legal duty to guarantee its citizens the right to adequate food. About four million Canadians have trouble putting food on the table, a problem that’s worse in remote communities.

The Centre for Food in Canada has also weighed in on the matter, producing From Opportunity to Achievement: The Canadian Food Strategy in 2014 noting the key role food consumption and production plays in the econ-

omy, health, communities, and the environment. Its strategy also outlines a comprehensive, actionoriented framework for improving the overall food system.

All groups have noted the growing public appetite for more proactive approaches to food that moves society beyond responses to problems and threats.

Sixteen departments and agencies will be involved in the food policy’s development, including Finance Canada and the Privy Council Office.

The consultation will engage multiple organizations including both governmental and nongovernmental groups. Comments received during the online consultation will be summarized in a ‘what we heard’ report.

rices for cattle at auction marts in Manitoba were steady on the week, and holding strong overall, though seasonally low volumes mean fewer ranchers are reaping the benefits.

Manitoba auction marts are seeing strong cash prices, as profitability in the feedlot sector drives demand.

Prices for non-fed cows and bulls have stayed steady on the week, said Allan Munroe of Killarney Auction Mart.

“They’re still extremely strong; there’s not much for volume around right now. I think we had 250 feeder cattle, which is outstanding for the end of May,” he said.

“There are guys who want to have some inventory and they look to me like they’re still pushing off.”

Prices for feeder cattle are slightly lower, but are still profitable, “maybe a few pennies off, but overall, when you compare it back to a couple of months ago or especially last month, they’re still very strong,” Munroe said.

Seasonally, fed cattle futures have downward potential into the warmer months.

“We see more cattle on the horizon, more market-ready supplies coming down the line, and demand usually slows in the summer,” said Brian Perillat, manager and senior analyst at CanFax, a division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

The market may have already notched its spring highs, he added, which means values are likely to move lower.

He noted, however, that “the feedlots are still making really good money at these

prices,” which could keep demand, and therefore prices, strong.

Traders are watching political issues for near-term market movement indications, Perillat said.

U.S. President Donald Trump may make moves to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which could cut into the amount of beef Canada sells to the U.S. and Mexico.

China has reopened its border to U.S. beef, but uncertainty about the amount the country will buy could keep an element of turbulence in the market. The deal marked the first time China has allowed U.S. beef imports since 2003.

Locally, Manitoba ranchers are watching the weather for indications on how feed grains will fare this summer.

Munroe said the weather thus far hasn’t been good for getting grass growing.

“We never dreamed we’d be praying for rain, and I don’t know if we’re praying for it yet, but we certainly could use it,” Munroe said.

Markets are expected to be slow through the summer and into the fall run.

Activists call on In-N-Out Burger to join the superbug fight

BY LISA BAERTLEIN Reuters

Nearly three dozen consumer, environmental and public health groups are pressing privately held In-N-Out Burger to make good on its vow to set timelines for phasing out the use of beef raised with antibiotics vital to human health.

Some 70 per cent of antibiotics needed to fight infections in humans are sold for use in meat and dairy production. Medical researchers say overuse of the drugs may dimin-

ish their effectiveness in fighting disease in humans by contributing to the rise of dangerous, antibioticresistant bacteria.

Restaurant chains such as Chipotl, Panera Bread, McDonald’s and Subway already have joined the fight against superbugs by working with their meat suppliers to curb the use of important human antibiotics.

In-N-Out last year told Reuters it was “committed to beef that is not raised with antibiotics important to human medicine and we’ve asked our suppliers to accelerate their progress toward establishing antibiotic alternatives.”

The company did not set a timeline for that effort.

Company representatives were not immediately available to comment.

“In-N-Out can make a significant impact by eliminating all routine uses of medically important antibiotics by its beef suppliers in a timely manner,” the groups, including CALPIRG, Friends of the Earth and the Center for Food Safety, said in their letter to the Californiabased company.

They want In-N-Out to begin selling a domestically produced grass-fed or organic beef burger.

“It’s the fastest way that they can make good on their commitment,” said Kari Hamerschlag, senior program manager at Friends of the Earth.

On Jan. 1, California will implement a new law that limits the use of medically important antibiotics in livestock operations.

Canola under pressure as U.S. soybeans trend lower

Average quotes as of June 5, 2017 ($/tonne)

Soy futures outweigh canola market fundamentals, for now Phil-Franz Warkentin CNSC

I

CE Futures Canada canola contracts fell hard over the course of the week ended June 2, as fund selling and losses in Chicago soybeans weighed on values.

Speculators bailing out of long positions and putting on short positions in some cases were a feature of the activity during the week, with chart stops hit on the way down.

The declines came despite persistent weather concerns in parts of Western Canada, as rains in northern Alberta continue to cause problems with spring seeding and dr yness to the south has many fields in need of moisture. While Statistics Canada forecast canola seedings this spring at a record 22.4 million acres, that number is looking more and more unlikely, while yields for what was seeded are already being questioned due to the poor weather.

Visible canola supplies in the country fell to their tightest level in nearly three years, hitting 702,700 tonnes in the latest weekly Canadian Grain Commission report. Export demand does typically slow down at this time of year, as attention turns to the new crop, but the domestic crush is still running strong and some demand will need to be rationed or the market will run out of canola before the new crop is available.

While the fundamentals for canola are shaping up to be relatively supportive from a

pricing standpoint, the situation is the complete opposite for soybeans in the U.S. The window for planting corn in the U.S. Midwest is quickly closing, but there is still time to get more soybeans in the ground.

With wet weather causing delays for the final 10 per cent of intended corn acres in the U.S., some of that area will go into soybeans instead and the possibility of a very large U.S. crop is weighing on prices.

Bearish chart signals added to the declines, as beans fell to their lowest levels in 14 months during the week. While oversold price sentiment may slow the downward move, the overall trend remains pointed lower, with US$9 per bushel the next major support for soybeans.

Meanwhile, the grains found some support during the week. The lost corn acres kept that market well supported while quality issues propped up wheat.

Minneapolis spring wheat saw the most strength, widening its premium over Kansas City and Chicago winter wheats.

The U.S. winter wheat harvest is underway in the southern states, and early results point to lower-than-normal protein levels. Concerns over protein levels give the Minneapolis market a boost, as the contract specs are for higher-protein wheat.

Weather forecasts calling for hot and dry weather in the key U.S. spring wheat-growing regions added to strength in the Minneapolis futures, as the yields and quality of the spring wheat are starting to be questioned.

Prairie red spring wheat bids break out of doldrums MGEX and K.C. wheat futures were up on the week, supporting CWRS and CPSR wheats

BY DAVE SIMS CNS Canada

H

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada finished mostly higher during the week ended June 2, taking strength from advances in the U.S. futures.

Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were up $7-$10 in the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of delivery points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about $245 per tonne in western Manitoba, to as high as $265 in northern Alberta.

Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but generally ranged from about $31 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$181 to US$196 per tonne. That would put the currencyadjusted basis levels at about US$18$33 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 $24 to $45 below the futures.

Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were mixed, with small gains in some areas and losses in others. Prices ranged from $162 to $177 per tonne.

Average durum prices were down $1 to up $2, with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $260 to $270 per tonne.

The July spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted June 2 at US$5.8375 per bushel, up 15 U.S. cents 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 June 2 at US$4.375 per bushel, up roughly four U.S. cents compared to the previous week.

The July Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled June 2 at US$4.295, down by nearly nine U.S. cents on the week.

The Canadian dollar settled June 2 at 74.05 U.S. cents, down roughly a quarter of a cent compared to its U.S. counterpart in the previous week.

Expanded mandate means higher cost for VBP Plus audits The national beef certification program has expanded from on-farm food safety to include sustainability, biosecurity and animal welfare

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

T

he Verified Beef Production Plus ( VBP Plus) program will come with a higher price tag during its second year in Manitoba, but providers say the jump is needed to keep the program cost neutral.

Audit costs have increased from $200 to $300 as of May 20.

Manitoba Beef Producers general manager Brian Lemon says he believes the increase will cover costs on average, although the cost of providing audits varies between farms.

“Verified Beef (Production) Plus is a much broader program that includes more than just the onfarm food safety,” Lemon said.

“It includes animal welfare. It includes environmental sustainability and those sorts of other modules, which is why the ‘Plus,’ but also why the audits are a lot more involved and a lot more goes into an audit. That’s the unfortunate reality and, as the audits get more complicated, the costs for those audits have to go up.”

Although a national program, audit costs are controlled provincially.

The joint initiative between the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, Beef Cattle Research Council and federal government is in the midst of switching from the previous Verified Beef Production program.

The initial program was expanded last year with the launch of VBP Plus to include biosecurity, environmental stewardship and animal care.

“The main reason we’re doing it is to improve public trust,” Virgil Lowe, VBP Plus business manager, said. “We know that the production practices on farm in Canada are generally very good, but we can’t tell people that.”

Providing proof Lowe used the example of the Earls controversy last year, when the restaurant chain shifted from Canadian beef to an American supplier with “certified humane” meat.

The decision launched public backlash. Earls backed down after almost two months, but maintained its decision to buy beef raised without steroids, added hormones or antibiotics, according to Earls president Mo Jessa in July 2016. The chain said it would look for Canadian suppliers to meet its stipulations.

“VBP is designed to be the tool that gives the rest of the industry the ability to say, ‘This is how we

The beef sector says the Verified Beef Production Plus program is the “cornerstone” of their efforts to foster public trust.

raise our cattle and we know that because we checked,’” Lowe said.

No buyers currently require VBP Plus certification to his knowledge, Lowe said, but added that there is speculation that verification may become a requirement for some buyers or programs in the future.

Lowe was unsure how many new or transitioned members have registered with the expanded program. Collectively, 1,500 producers were registered with VBP and VBP Plus last year.

Lemon, likewise, said he was unsure how many Manitoba producers were registered.

“Our uptake is good in terms of people and producers taking the workshops and signing up. We would certainly like to see it better,” he said, noting that Manitoba Beef Producers would ideally like to see all producers in the province verified with the program.

A smaller number of producers have completed the audit process, Lemon said.

Making the shift Existing Verified Beef Production members will be able to transition into the new program as of their next renewal, while new registrants will enter the new program directly.

“VBP is designed to be the tool that gives the rest of the industry the ability to say, ‘This is how we raise our cattle and we know that because we checked.’”

Virgil Lowel VBP Plus business manager

VBP Plus training includes a s e r i e s o f w o r k s h o p s, w e b i nars, resource materials or callin conferences. Producers are then expected to implement that training on their own operations.

Existing VBP members must also be trained in the new modules and have provincial co-ordinators confirm “they have either done the training or demonstrated knowledge in those three new modules,” before transitioning, Lowe said.

“You attend training or do online training, which is not onerous,” he said. “The in-person workshops are all done in an evening, so sort of a two- to three-hours-type thing, or the online training can be done in about two hours.”

Provincial co-ordinators provide enrolment forms and self-evaluations following training.

“This is sort of where the rubber meets the road,” Lowe said. “As you go through self-assessment and see where your operation is in relation to VBP Plus criteria, then you would send that back into the co-ordinator; they would review it and maybe you would talk to them about some areas of improvement or further training.”

Record-keeping is often among the most significant changes, Lowe said.

Cow-calf operations are required to provide at least six months of records as part of the process, while feedlots must provide a minimum three months’ worth of records.

“Feedlots will be required to complete a feedlot cattle chute, side handling and pen condition assessment,” the latest Manitoba Beef Producers newsletter read.

Once criteria are met, farms are evaluated through a 3-1/2 hour audit. The time between registration and successful audit completion will vary from operation to operation.

Training comes at no charge, Lowe said, although a fee is being considered for online webinars to recoup costs. astockford@farmmedia.com

Coccidiosis affecting young calves in North Dakota Cattle producers in North Dakota have been losing young calves to coccidiosis this spring, an intestinal disease that affects several animal species NDSU release

C

attle producers in North Dakota have been losing young calves to coccidiosis this spring, according to Gerald Stokka, the North Dakota State University Extension Service’s veterinarian.

Coccidiosis is an intestinal disease that affects several animal species. In cattle, it may produce clinical symptoms in animals from a month to one year of age, but it can infect all age groups.

Coccidia is a protozoan parasite that has the ability to multiply rapidly and cause clinical disease.

“Coccidia are very host specific; that is, only cattle coccidia will cause disease in cattle,” Stokka says. “Other species-specific coccidia will not cause disease in cattle.”

The major damage to calves is the result of the rapid multiplication of the parasite in the intestinal wall and the subsequent rupture of the cells of the intestinal lining.

Several stages of multiplication occur before the final stage, the oocyst (egg), is passed in the feces. Oocysts are extremely resistant to environmental stress and are difficult to remove from

Early detection of coccidiosis is important for getting calves treated, NDSU Extension livestock specialists say. PHOTO: NDSU

the environment completely.

Oocysts must undergo a final process called sporulation before they are infective again.

Oocysts frequently contaminate feed and water. When the sporulated oocysts are ingested by other animals, they start their life cycle over in the new host.

Symptoms In young (three to six weeks of age), suckling calves, clinical signs of coccidiosis may develop following stressful events such as weather changes, or if the calves are in unsanitary conditions.

“Symptoms or signs of coccidiosis will depend on the stage

of the disease at the time of observation,” says Karl Hoppe, livestock systems specialist at NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Center.

In general, coccidiosis affects the intestinal tract and creates symptoms associated with it. In mild cases, calves only have watery diarrhea, but in most cases, blood is present in the feces. Straining, along with rapid dehydration, weight loss and anorexia (off feed), may be evident.

Animals that survive for 10 to 14 days may recover; however, permanent damage may occur.

The lesions associated with

coccidiosis that are found after death generally are confined to the cecum, colon, ileum and rectum.

Laboratory findings should be correlated with clinical signs for a diagnosis because other infectious diseases such as salmonella and bovine viral diarrhea virus also may lead to blood in the stool, Stokka notes.

The susceptibility of animals to coccidiosis varies.

“Coccidiosis frequently is referred to as an opportunist, which is a disease that will develop when other stress factors are present or in the young calves when exposure to the oocysts is overwhelming,” Stokka says.

“The life cycle of coccidiosis in calves is approximately 21 days,” he adds. “This means that if a three-week-old calf is showing signs and symptoms of coccidiosis, the calf was exposed to the oocysts at birth. The logical conclusion to young calf coccidiosis is that calving grounds are highly contaminated.”

Treatment Infected animals must be treated for the infection and to correct dehydration. Producers should select the proper drugs in consultation with their veterinarian. Sulfa drugs and a therapeutic dose of amprolium are

Interactive workshops for producers on production innovations, a tradeshow, market outlooks, and presentations about how we can work together to advance connectivity, productivity, beef demand and competitiveness in the industry PLUS excellent networking opportunities including a golf tournament and tour

Prevention Stokka and Hoppe suggest these steps to prevent coccidiosis: • M o v e c a l v i n g g r o u n d s t o a c l e a n a re a f re e o f contamination.

• Increase the amount of space per cow during the calving season.

• Feed an additive that can re d u c e t h e p re s e n c e o f coccidia.

“Fe e d i n g a c o c c i d i o s t a t (decoquinate) or an ionophore (monensin or lasalocid) to the herd prior to and during calving may help,” Hoppe says. “Be sure to follow label claims because monensin and lasalocid have slightly different label claims.

“Feeding an ionophore to the cows for reducing the overall coccidia parasites present in the environment also has the benefit of improving feed efficiency,” he adds.

available to treat coccidiosis.

Antibiotics may be necessary if secondary bacterial infections are suspected.

Products also are available for treating the entire group of calves, but the logistics of medicating all the calves in beef herds is difficult, Stokka says.

Treatment and prevention are most effective when started early.

Cattle prices jump to near-record highs The glory days of 2015 were a distant memory last fall — and then all of a sudden prices shot up again

BY MADELEINE BAERG Co-operator contributor

W

estern Canadian cattle producers are enjoying unexpectedly strong pricing this spring with both fed cattle and calf p r i c e s i n A l b e r t a ra l l y i n g almost 50 per cent since last fall’s painful lows.

“There’s always going to be someone who says they saw it coming. We didn’t,” said Brian Perillat, manager and senior analyst with CanFax, t h e Ca n a d i a n Ca t t l e m e n’s Association’s market analysis division.

“After the price correction we saw last year, you always expect a bit of a bounce. But we didn’t expect such a large price increase through the winter given how tough 2016, especially the fall, was.”

Fed cattle prices bottomed out at $128/cwt last fall.

Barely nine months later, they reached $191/cwt. The prices s e e n l a s t m o n t h we re t h e highest since mid-2015 and only about $12/cwt off the alltime highs set two years ago.

Calf prices for 550-pound steers made a big jump as well, rising from $168/cwt last fall to about $250/cwt ($2.50/ p o u n d ) . T h e s e p r i c e s a re the highest since early 2016, though still about $80 below 2015’s record high of $330/ cwt.

High cattle prices in 2015 s l ow e d b o t h e x p o r t s a n d

domestic demand, and as prices cooled, producers held on to cattle. The spring and early-summer holdback in 2016 translated to more supply than demand and largerthan-average carcasses by early fall. Carcasses reached near-record sizes by October, with average weights topping out at 936 pounds (almost 100 pounds heavier than today’s average weight of 839 pounds).

But as prices dropped through last fall, export and domestic market demand rebounded.

“The lower prices meant consumer demand i n c r e a s e d ,” s a i d Pe r i l l a t .

“Retailers saw good margins so there was more featuring of beef in sales fliers. Add in the fact that fed cattle supplies weren’t quite as abundant as we’d expected and, quite before we knew it, we’d worked our way through the glut of supply.”

Alberta bonus As quickly as prices had dropped, they suddenly began to rise again. Typically, C a n a d i a n p r i c e s a re d i s c o u n t e d c o m p a re d t o t h e price-setting lead of the U.S., and Alberta — and therefore western Canadian — prices generally equal or lag behind Ontario prices.

Not so this spring.

“At the end of 2016 and into 2017, our prices were actually at a premium to the U.S.

“Packers in Alberta had to pull hard on supplies to meet demand so our prices jumped.”

Brian Perillat

viduals and markets absorb, transfer and exchange information about supply and demand, whether globally or domestically, is very different than it used to be,” said Perillat. “Markets move rapidly because everyone reacts at the same time now.”

That’s certainly been the case the last two years, he added.

“The recent market ups and downs have been absolutely extreme. We have feedlots that in 2014-15 were making $500 or $600 a head. Six months later, they were losing $500 a head. Then six or eight months later they were making $700 a head.

“It’s tough. Risk managem e n t s t a r t s g e t t i n g re a l l y important when markets bounce like that,” said Perillat.

Prices will likely average out over the long run, but in the meantime expect “big and stressful swings in the market,” he said.

Who saw this coming? The recent 50 per cent rally in cattle prices far surpassed what most market analysts were expecting. PHOTO: CANADA BEEF

A couple of months back, Alberta had the highest cattle prices in North America,” said Perillat. “It’s supply and demand. Canada hasn’t seen the herd growth that the U.S. has, so we didn’t have big supplies. Packers in Alberta had to pull hard on supplies to meet demand so our prices jumped.”

What happens next is anyone’s guess.

Consumer demand for beef, particularly for higher-value cuts, peaks during barbecuing season in spring/early summer. The seasonality of demand is likely to depress prices somewhat as we move towards fall. As well, exports appear to be softening somewhat due to the strong pricing.

S o f a r, Tr u m p’s t h r e a t ened changes to the North A m e r i c a n F r e e Tr a d e Agreement (NAFTA) are helping Canadian beef by softening the Canadian dollar. Over the medium to longer term, however, retooling of NAFTA may throw a curve ball into Canadian beef’s pricing.

“There’s strong consensus across North American cattle organizations that NAFTA is good for all of us,” said Perillat. “Any talk about renegotiating or scrapping NAFTA is a concern but hopefully the cattle industry will be heard.”

Regardless of what happens politically, expect increased uncertainty, faster change, and unusually varied pricing ahead. “ T h e w a y s o c i e t y, i n d i -

You don’t have to go far to find hazards on a farm, and that’s why new workplace safety regulations are inevitable, say farm leaders. PHOTOS: COURTESY Canadian agRiCUlTURal SafETY aSSOCiaTiOn

C

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

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

Mike Millar

tors for workers’ compensation.”

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

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

ing today, said Jacobson, who farms near Enchant.

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

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

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

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

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

senior executive with CP Rail says the com company is “well positioned” to move this year’s g ra i n c r o p d e s p i t e re c e n t cutbacks in staff and locomotives. con Grain is, was and will continue to be Canadian Pacific Railway’s biggest cargo, John Brooks, vice-president of sales com and marketing for bulk commodities, said in an interview Aug. 6.

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

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

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

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

Cost and paperwork

Co-operator staff / Portage la Prairie

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

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

A

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

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

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

Canada location in Portage la Prairie.

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

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

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

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

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

High tunnels are like greenhouses, except they don’t have a double layer of poly, and no permanent heat or electricity. But they have a similar function — they keep cold out and, conversely, heat in. see ReseaRCheRs on page 6 »

More cops, more cameras or more common sense?

What’s the best way to fight crime in rural Saskatchewan?

Questions related to rural crime generated plenty of discussion during the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities’ annual convention in Saskatoon last week, and some controversy as well.

SARM is one of the best barometers of public sentiment in rural Saskatchewan.

At its annual convention March 14-16, the organization welcomed more than 1,000 delegates — mostly elected reeves and councilors — from 296 RMs across the province.

And according to delegates attending the event, rural people are fed up with what they see as threats to their property and personal safety.

“For a lot of (rural people), I think it’s a concern about RCMP coverage itself,” said SARM president Ray Orb, when asked about delegates’ frustration.

“They don’t feel safe because there aren’t enough police out there to cover the whole province.…It’s (about having) the confidence that the RCMP are there and that when they’re called, they’ll be able to (show up) in a timely manner.

Added another delegate, who spoke on the condition of anonymity: “Policing in rural Saskatchewan is inadequate and the criminals know it.… People in remote areas have had enough.”

A study commissioned by the Canola Council of Canada found that eliminating tariffs could increase exports of seed, oil and meal to China by up to $1.2 billion per year.

That would be the equivalent of shipping an extra 1.8 million

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

A couple of chances for precipitation Issued: Monday, June 5, 2017 · Covering: June 7 – June 14, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

L

ast week’s forecast didn’t quite play out as expected, but it was able to capture the overall pattern. The big surprise was just how warm it was able to get, even though the pattern wasn’t exactly set up to produce record-breaking heat.

This forecast period will begin with an area of low pressure tracking through northern Manitoba, with a trailing cold front slowly pushing through southern and central regions.

This front will likely kick off numerous showers and thundershowers during the day on Wednesday, with eastern regions possibly seeing these showers sticking around early into Thursday. Temperatures will be a little cooler with the cloud cover on Wednesday, with highs around 23 C. Temperatures on Thursday will continue on the cool side as cooler air works in behind the cold front, but under sunny skies temperatures will still be in the low to mid-20s.

High pressure will begin pushing in during the day

on Thursday and will quickly slide off to our east on Friday.

At the same time, a large area of low pressure will be developing to our west. The flow around these two systems, along with the strong summer sunshine, will help to quickly boost our temperatures back toward the 30 C mark on Friday and Saturday.

As the western low organizes and tracks eastward over the weekend, we’ll likely see several chances for thunderstorms. Currently, it looks like late Saturday and into early Sunday morning will be the best chance for rain, with some of the thunderstorms possibly being severe.

Hi g h p re s s u re l o o k s t o build back in for much of next week, bringing plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures.

Expect daytime highs to be in the mid-20s with overnight lows in the low to mid-teens.# Usual temperature range # for this period: Highs, 19 to 28 C; lows, 6 to 15 C.

wThis issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies during the 30 days ending on June 1 as a departure from the long-term average. You can quickly see that much of southern and central Saskatchewan and Manitoba have been dry during this period. The driest regions are in southern Manitoba, where a significant portion of the region saw departures from average that were greater than 35 mm.

Is it a warm or cool summer ahead?

May saw near-average temperatures, with below-average levels of precipitation

BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

M

ay across agricultural Manitoba could be described as a month that just couldn’t figure itself out. We had some warm days, but nothing really hot. We had a few cold periods, but once again nothing terribly cold.

It seemed like it was a wet month, yet we didn’t see any heavy rain events. The general talk by the end of the month was that it was a colder-thanaverage month, with nearaverage amounts of precipitation. While this might be what people thought about May, here are what the statistics say; I think they may surprise you.

Of our three main locations, one region reported slightly below-average temperatures for May, another region saw near-average temperatures, while the third region saw slightly above-average temperatures. The question is, which region was which? Well, if you guessed that the Brandon region was the area that saw slightly above-average temperatures, you were correct.

B r a n d o n’s m e a n m o n t h l y temperature for May came in about 0.5 C above the longterm average. The Dauphin

The wettest region was around Dauphin, where precipitation amounts were generally in the 30- to 35-mm range… about 20 mm below average.

region was the area that saw near-average monthly temperatures for May, with a reading that was bang on its long-term average. That leaves the cold spot to Winnipeg and the eastern regions. Winnipeg’s mean monthly temperature for May came in 0.3 C below the longterm average. This makes it a tougher overall call. Since one station was right on average and the two other stations were a little above and a little below average, I think overall we can say that May saw nearaverage temperatures.

Precipitation dur ing the month did not come in above average, as several people to whom I talked thought.

Precipitation amounts were actually below average across all three locations. The wettest region was around Dauphin, where precipitation amounts were generally in the 30- to 35-mm range. This is about 20 mm below average. Both the Brandon and Winnipeg regions saw between 20 and

25 mm of precipitation, which is between 35 and 40 mm below the long-term average.

So, overall, it was a drier-thanaverage month, which is a little unusual as dry Mays tend to be warmer than average.

Who called it?

Which of the long-range forecasts was closest to predicting this May’s near-average temperatures and below-average precipitation? Looking back, I would say no one was right on the money. Environment Canada called for near-average temperatures and precipitation, so it got the temperature part right. The Old Farmer’s Almanac called for above-average temperatures and below-average precipitation, so it got the precipitation part right. The Canadian Farmers’ Almanac called for below-average temperatures and above-average precipitation, so it struck out in both departments. Finally, my forecast for May was basically too

wishy-washy, as I never did give a final forecast for the month; instead I said the first half of the month would be warm and dry, with the second half of the month being cooler and wetter. While the second half of the month was cooler relative to average and we did see several days with light rain, most of the heavier rainfall occurred during the first half of the month.

Now, on to the June, July a n d Au g u s t f o r e c a s t s . A s usual I want to remind everyone that creating an accurate forecast for one to two weeks in advance is already tough, forecasts that go out one or more months beforehand are pretty much guesswork, or, as some like to call it, the art of forecasting. So don’t bet the farm on these forecasts!

Let’s start with Environment Canada. Looking at its summer forecast, it calls for a slightly higher-than-average chance of seeing war merthan-average temperatures in June, July and August. Along with the warmer temperatures, we will see near-average amounts of precipitation.

To me, that sounds like not too bad of a forecast, especially if we get the precipitation at the right time and in the right amounts.

Next up are our two alma-

n a c s . T h e O l d F a r m e r ’s Almanac forecast for the summer is not looking that great, with predictions of a cool and wet June followed by a nearaverage July, then a slightly war mer- and wetter-thanaverage August. The Canadian Farmers’ Almanac looks to be calling for a warmer and we t t e r- t h a n - a ve ra g e Ju n e to-August per iod. It men tions hot weather with daytime highs in the 30 to 35 C range several times over the summer, along with plenty of showers and thunderstorms.

Finally, my forecast or gut f e e l i n g f o r t h e s u m m e r. I think we will continue with our pattern of periods of warm or even hot weather being broken up with short p e r i o d s o f c o o l e r, w e t t e r weather. Overall this type of pattern would result in warmer-than-average temperature right through the summer. Precipitation is always the hardest thing to predict.

One or two heavy thunderstorms can take a dry summer and turn it into a wet one. I think most regions will end up seeing near- to slightly below-average amounts of precipitation this summer.

All in all, I hope ever yone gets just the right amount of rain and heat, whatever that amount may be.

DeRuycks keep rolling with organic cleaning and milling D

an and Fran DeRuyck’s organic grain-cleaning plant is one of the first things a visitor sees when they arrive at Top of the Hill Farm, south of Treherne, Man. The large shed dominates the west side of the yard, bordered by bins which, on any given week, might be filled with anything from wheat, oats, buckwheat, quinoa, mustard or spelt. Inside, a maze of pipes and blowers conveys grain through a line of cleaning equipment. The grain is filtered by size, density and, using a specialized electronic eye, colour. Buckwheat is dehulled with a stone grinder, as are oats.

Undesirable seeds are whisked away to another, smaller bin outside, while the cleaned grain is bagged for milling or, increasingly, returned to the customer after a custom cleaning job.

A few miles away, at Top of the Hill Farm’s milling facility, Fran DeRuyck pours buckets of grain into the computerized milling machine. The resulting flour is then packaged and shipped to bakeries, health food stores and dozens of other customers across southern Manitoba and from coast to coast.

It’s a far cry from 17 years ago, when Dan DeRuyck’s father, Gerry, began marketing organics to a few local bakeries.

The DeRuycks have been milling their own grains and marketing their own organic flour for years, but now their business once again looks set to expand.

Custom milling is on offer, but the DeRuycks say they would like to take on more, while their cleaning plant, reopened in February after almost 10 months of upgrades, opens the door for large-scale organic grain cleaning.

“They can bring their grains to us,” Dan DeRuyck said. “We can clean it. We can mill it and then they can try and market it themselves or whatever, and that way they don’t have to put this capital

Dan and Fran DeRuyck hope to expand their customer base with their upgraded organic grain-cleaning plant, reopened earlier this year

Dan DeRuyck

Larry Black, Manitoba Organic Alliance grain and oilseed director, said most buyers have their own cleaning plants, but he has seen an increased preference for clean grain due to freight considerations.

“I’m noticing in the last couple of years that the buyers are looking now for your grain on farm to be less than five per cent dockage and that didn’t used to be an issue,” he said.

He noted that producers located close to Top of the Hill Farm are more likely to derive benefit from the plant.

investment into their operation, because that’s usually the biggest thing in trying to get established — just trying to get the infrastructure into place. We didn’t have that and that was a big thing that would have been maybe a little nicer, if we had access to custom work available like that. That’s the direction that we want to go right away because I think there’s a lot of good ideas and people can put new products together.”

Growing scale

The couple has held out setting prices for their expanded services while they familiarize themselves with the plant’s capacity and operation.

Kate Storey, president of the Manitoba Organic Alliance, has said more organic seed cleaners are needed to fill a gap in the market.

The organization draws members from organic farmers, retailers, buyers, researchers and processors across the province.

In 2000, Gerry DeRuyck planted his first organic crop, a patch of only 20 acres.

“We were just finding that our input costs were rising and we were finding that the margins were getting thinner and with sprays, we were finding we were getting resistance to different sprays and things like that, so it just wasn’t pencilling out like we thought it would,” Dan DeRuyck said.

The Manitoba Co-operator | June 8, 2017

Few details as online risk management tool AgriShield is announced The federal government has thrown support behind a newly announced online risk management tool, but the project has only been described in general terms as development gets underway

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

F

arm Management Canada hopes to see the online risk management tool AgriShield up and running by April 2018.

The group recently announced it was developing the platform to help farmers determine what risks their operations face and how they can take steps to prevent damage and loss.

He a t h e r Wa t s o n , Fa r m Management Canada executive director, expects the pilot will likely be released to industry for a year before the tool’s full-scale launch.

“We’re seeing that risk management is something that has been brought to the forefront, especially with the BRM programs,” she said.

The phrase ‘business risk management’ is starting to become a readily understood concept in the business, Watson said. It’s good to see that higher profile, but fundamentally that’s come to mean financial risk, while a whole host of other risks are also ever present.

“We find that oftentimes that crowds out other opportunities for risk management and assessing different types of risk on your farm,” Watson said.

The tool, she stressed, will not be limited to insurance programming, something she says

conversation around risk management often becomes stuck on.

The federal government has said the program will include real-time assessment of risk impact, as well as possible means to mitigate risks such as pests, disease or environment.

Watson, however, has said the program may go deeper than common agricultural or financial risks and may include aspects of work-life balance, family dynamics and diversification strategies.

“It’s identifying the risks that are pertinent to your farm from a comprehensive basis and then having a mechanism to assess those risks based on, how frequently would this happen?

How severe would it be if it did happen and am I prepared for it? And then from there you’re able to prioritize, ‘OK, here are the things I want to put in my work plan this year for the risks that I’m going to start managing or manage better,’ or things like that,” she said.

Work began on the program in the last financial quarter and is still preliminary, Watson said.

Farm Management Canada is currently analyzing information gathered during a series of producer and industry stakeholder consultations.

That information will help the organization determine what areas need more research, and what’s needed to begin the actual design of the system.

I M P O R TA N T

“It’s identifying the risks that are pertinent to your farm from a comprehensive basis and then having a mechanism to assess those risks... ” Heather Watson Farm Management Canada executive director

“We haven’t started designing or developing yet. We’re still in the kind of consultative stage,” Watson said.

Few details around the online tool have been established.

Watson said some ability to customize the tool for regional risks is likely, although the exact degree of geographic specialization is unknown. Farm Management Canada hopes to provide depth of information without losing user friendliness, Watson said.

D a n Ma z i e r, p re s i d e n t of Keystone Agr icultural Producers, says the tool has the potential to cover gaps in the existing network of risk management tools, but also noted that there is little concrete information available on AgriShield.

“We have insurance, either through crop insurance or we have AgriStability,” Mazier said.

N O T I C E

“We have different programs available to us, but what holes are left open at the end of the day? If this program (answers) that, it could be a very interesting type of tool that we could use, but I think it’s still very much early in development.”

Mazier noted that some aspects of AgriShield’s promised scope already exist, using the example of MNP’s Ag Risk Management Projector, which assesses risk to determine the types and level of insurance a producer should pursue.

Keystone Agricultural Producers was among those to participate in a Farm Management Canada focus group on the tool earlier this year.

Government support The project’s $1.2-million development budget is jointly funded between the federal government and industry.

On May 26, Ontario MP Francis Drouin announced $786,921 in federal funds for the project through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s AgriRisk Initiative.

“Canadian farmers face risk every day and it is essential they have the necessary tools to better understand and manage risk,” he said in a release.

“The recent flooding in eastern Ontario and Quebec, for example, shows the need to help farmers more effectively manage risk, so that they can be

stronger, more innovative and more competitive.”

Farm Management Canada estimates less than a third of farmers have a risk management plan.

The concept of the tool was first floated after Watson and her colleagues attended a series of industry-led risk management events.

“We found that it was confined to talking about insurance programs and we just thought there is so much more out there to talk about when it comes to opportunities that we have to manage risk better for mitigating negative impacts but also making calculated risks and taking opportunity,” she said.

Farm Management Canada developed a guide to cover those perceived gaps, Watson said, but hopes the online tool will further spread the message.

Brian Lemon, Manitoba Beef Producers general manager, was pleased to see another risk management option announced.

The commodity group has said it would like to see flood and market risks, in particular, among the topics addressed by the new tool.

“Managing risk is becoming a very complicated thing and anything that we can do to help producers understand where their risks are and help them understand how to address those risks, I think that’s a positive,” he said. astockford@farmmedia.com

R

epresentatives from four Saskatchewan far mer organizations will sit on a new provincial advisory board on farm drainage policy.

The provincial government on May 16 announced the creation of two advisory boards: a policy development board and technical review board.

Specific members haven’t yet been named to either board, but the province said the policy advisory board will include members from Agricultural Pr o d u c e r s A s s o c i a t i o n o f Saskatchewan (APAS), the We s t e r n Ca n a d i a n W h e a t Growers, the Saskatchewan Farm Stewardship Association and the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commissions (SaskCanola).

The policy board will also include members from the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), the Saskatchewan Conservation and Development Association and Ducks Unlimited Canada, the province said.

The technical review board, meanwhile, is to be made up of experts with backgrounds in

water management, engineering and hydrology, the province said.

If a drainage project’s “proponent” believes a technical error has occurred, the province said, they can provide information to the technical board and ask for a review.

“For example, if there is a question on the adequacy of an outlet, this board would review it and provide technical advice.”

The creation of the two advisory boards comes as the provincial Water Security Agency Amendment Act, introduced in November, passes third reading in the legislature.

The amendments lay out a new process to deal with unauthorized drainage.

“Our government’s goal is to create responsibly managed agricultural drainage networks focused on controlling and organizing water management in the province,” Scott Moe, the provincial minister for the WSA, said in a release.

“This will ensure mitigation of impacts to downstream landowners while continuing to provide benefits to producers.”

The WSA is now working with “hundreds” of Saskatchewan landowners on organized drainage projects.

Within a few years, his son and daughter-in-law began to transition their own land to organic production. For two years, Dan and Fran DeRuyck planted land down to alfalfa to help the transition, surviving off the income of their cattle herd.

According to the organic production systems National Standard of Canada, prohibited inputs cannot be used on land for 36 months before a certified organic crop may be harvested off it.

By 2006, Top of the Hill Farm was a certified organic o p e ra t i o n a n d t h e g row t h began in earnest.

Over the following years, the family felt its way through the ins and outs of organic farming. They adopted a green manure crop once every three-year rotation to build nutrients and looked for alternatives to manage weeds.

“That’s part of what we’re doing with the processing plant too; we can take those weeds out and eliminate them that way, do it mechanically instead of through the sprays,” Fran DeRuyck said.

Driven by demand, the family began adding crops to their product line. Today, it includes wheat, flax, rye, oat and buckwheat flour.

Organic producers and businesses eventually began to approach them about custom work, although the process remained largely manual and small scale. “ We’d just take our little bucket and just dump it into each piece of equipment and kind of moved on from there, I guess,” Dan DeRuyck said. “It was a good learning process because then, that way, we learned how the product had to flow to different pieces of equipment or whatever — so then the demand kept growing, expanding from there; the phone kept ringing.”

Eventually, orders became too large to handle easily and the DeRuycks began to plan seriously for expansion.

The family assembled the plant piece by piece over the next nine years, picking up equipment at auction sales and later receiving support from Growing Forward 2 for the project.

In April 2016, the existing cleaning facility at Top of the Hill Farms shut down for the upgrades, reopening earlier this year.

Future plans By the end of 2016, the DeRuyck far m had shr unk from about 1,500 acres in 2000 to 700, mostly farmed

by Gerry DeRuyck. His son, meanwhile, has largely taken over cleaning and Fran DeRuyck has taken the lead in milling.

The family now contracts farmers to grow part of their g ra i n a n d To p o f t h e Hi l l Farm products are delivered through Manitoba three times a month. The farm has also j o i n e d t h e Ha r v e s t Mo o n Local Food Initiative, a sustainability-focused far mer direct-marketing group

spread throughout southern Manitoba.

Most customers are businesses and baker ies, Fran DeRuyck said, although the mill also provides for a niche of people newly enthused about homemade food and local sourcing.

“It’s strictly single product, just single ingredient, because once you start mixing things it starts to get a little more complicated in getting the different nutrient values and things like that. At this point, we just keep it simple,” she said.

The DeRuycks eventually hope to power their processing plant with the same weed seeds they filter out of crops. A planned refinery on farm property would press seeds for oil to be used in the plant’s generator. The facility is off grid and the couple has begun exploring alternative fuels, including used vegetable oil from the food-service industry. Both Fran and Dan DeRuyck admitted, however, that those plans will have to wait in light of the recent upgrades. astockford@farmmedia.com

The majority of yield potential is determined at flag-leaf.

This is no time to compromise.

Because up to 65% of cereal yield potential is determined at flag-leaf1, disease control is critical at this stage. Twinline® fungicide doesn’t stop there. Unlike other fungicides, in addition to exceptional disease control, it delivers the unique benefits2 of AgCelence® . In short that means greener, larger leaves and stronger stems, resulting in higher yield potential3.

So it’s no wonder growers surveyed in 2016 ranked Twinline as the cereal fungicide they’d most likely recommend to others4. Check it out for yourself at agsolutions.ca/twinline or call AgSolutions® Customer Care at 1-877-371-BASF (2273).

cience beat out commerce in one corner of the Brandon Shoppers Mall May 13 as the Assiniboine Hills Conservation District hosted its first home water festival.

Conservation district manager Neil Zalluski said the event focused on public awareness of conservation district operations, many of which are largely unknown to the general public.

“The kids are there learning about the stations, then we have the chance to talk to the adults about what we do and where they live and what we can help them with,” Zalluski said.

Beaver management, drinking water protection, drainage and shore stabilization, equipment and livestock waterway crossings, and rebates for forage seed, fencing, wells and shelterbelts are under the conservation district’s purview.

Small crowds The event was neither as large nor as well trafficked as the conservation district hoped, with between 130 and 150 attendees.

However, Zalluski said he thought the event was fairly well received. “I think we’ll think about changing the time of year we do it where (there’s) maybe more foot traffic in the mall. It was a nice day in the spring and I think everybody wanted to be outside.”

Two of five originally advertised activity tables were set up during the event. Attendees ran water through one station to mimic river flows and erosion, while a model watershed outlined the interconnection between groundwater, creeks, rivers and lakes as well as the spread of pollution.

“That was just to bring awareness that what you do in one area can affect people in other areas, so those were kind of the two stations we had. We had some other ones planned, but there wasn’t enough space,” Zalluski said.

Manitoba Conservation Districts Association executive director Shane Robins cited the educational role of the water festival and those like it.

“They have quite a few roles,” she said. “Firstly, and most obviously, they engage the youth in the area about the linkage of water within our watershed and then, also, the different players in the watershed that are working to improve soil and water quality. They also engage the parents and the adults who participate with the youth.”

Robins noted that adults are frequently surprised by the size of watersheds affecting Manitoba. The Lake Winnipeg watershed draws on one million square kilometres in four Canadian provinces and four U.S. states, but has a single main outflow through the Nelson River.

“We are at the mercy of what is in that water,” she said. “Any high water event, we’re there to receive it, so the first thing they say to me is they look at me and say, ‘Wow, what can we do?’ That’s the doorway open to say, ‘Well, the conservation program’s out there working to slow water and improve its quality and mitigate flood and prevent droughts, things like that.’”

Summer programming is about to hit its stride in conservation districts province-wide, although the Assiniboine Hills Conservation District focuses educational efforts during the school year. astockford@farmmedia.com

Watershed study shows overapplication of phosphorus Nitrogen rates are bang-on but this key water-fouling nutrient appears to still be overapplied

BY JOHN GREIG Staff

A

n Ontario research project suggests farmers aren’t treating all nutrients equally when managing applications.

Farmers in one Huron County, Ontario watershed are applying almost exactly the nitrogen needed by their crops, but more than 30 per cent more phosphorus than is needed.

University of Guelph researchers reached the conclusions by analyzing multiple years of data collected by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority during inperson interviews with farmers in the Gully Creek Watershed, near Bayfield.

Jennifer Leslie analyzed the data, which included 16 farms of various sizes over a six-year period, ending in 2011.

There is concern with phosphorus contributing to algae growth in Lake Erie and the International Joint Commission which works on Great Lakes health issues, estimates that agriculture is responsible for 44 per cent of phosphorus contribution. Most of the phosphorus comes from the United States, but there is significant work happening on the Canadian side to find best management practices to reduce phosphorus going into Lake Erie. Canada and the U.S. have set a goal of reducing phosphorus loads to Lake Erie by 40 per cent in the next decade.

Leslie points out that the Gully Creek Watershed, where the study was conducted, drains to Lake Huron, not Lake Erie. However, Lake Huron itself flows into Lake St. Clair and then into the western basin of Lake Erie, where there is most concern about algae.

Leslie did the analysis from a Lake Huron watershed because there was no similar depth of data available from a Lake Erie watershed. She says in order to create wide-ranging policy, a broader study is needed.

Leslie took how much nitrogen and phosphorus farmers applied to corn and winter wheat fields and compared it to the recommendations that would come from OMAFRA’s NMAN software, which helps determine what nutrient requirements should be supplied to a crop.

“In case of phosphorus in corn and winter wheat, there are statistically higher application rates.

In almost every case, on every farm, every field we saw a rate higher than NMAN rate,” said Leslie, who has completed her master’s degree and is now working as a research assistant at the University of Guelph.

In winter wheat, the overapplication of phosphorus compared to NMAN rates was 47.28 per cent and for corn, 37.83 per cent.

Larger fields also received higher rates of phosphorus than smaller fields. The same was true of larger farm operations.

“We couldn’t go talk to farmers, but I would assume that larger farms are sole income,” Leslie said. “They are relying on the crops for income, and so they took no risks with being low in phosphorus.”

The researchers looked to see if they could find a profit- and

yield-maximizing rate that justified more application, but did not find it.

In the case of nitrogen, however, farmers applied only slightly higher rate in corn and winter wheat than was recommended by NMAN, almost four per cent for corn and a bit more than five per cent for winter wheat.

Leslie, who has a background in agronomics, says that phosphorus is less expensive than nitrogen, it is applied in smaller increments and its correlation with yield is less understood than nitrogen. As a result, it costs farmers little more to apply insurance phosphorus.

Farmers apply 200 to 300 lbs. per acre of nitrogen on corn, but phosphorus application may only be 15 lbs. per acre. It doesn’t cost much more to add five more pounds, but that would be a 30 per cent increase. The extra phos-

phorus comes out of a farmer’s profit and it also comes at an environmental cost, so there’s little to encourage overuse of the nutrient.

However, farmers may say, “If my livelihood is based on this, then I’m going to go with my gut,” says Leslie.

Looking for a loan? Add in interest rate risk when deciding to borrow FOCUS

With Canada enjoying some of the lowest borrowing costs on record, it might be time to consider that expansion, but how do you avoid the landmines if interest rate shifts appear on the horizon?

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.

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

F

or borrowers in Canada over the last decade, low interest has been par for the course.

In May 2007, the Bank of Canada’s overnight rate was 4.25 per cent, a number that plummeted to one per cent by February 2009 and has yet to rise above one per cent since. In 2015, the rate fell twice, finally reaching its current 0.5 per cent.

Fo r f a r m e r s l o o k i n g t o expand, the lower interest and cheaper loans that came with it are good news and Canadian producers have taken advantage.

By 2015, farm debt had risen to $91.8 billion, up from $84.6 billion the year before, according to Statistics Canada.

J.P. Gervais, chief agricult u re e c o n o m i s t f o r Fa r m Credit Canada (FCC), has said low interest is at least partially responsible for the jump in farm debt, although farm income is a larger contributing factor, in his view.

“Almost year after year, we’re breaking records, growing income, growing farm income and at the same time we’re making investments, being more productive. That has been growing farm debts, which is obviously encouraged as well by low interest rates,” he said.

Realized farm income jumped 7.6 per cent in 2016, the third consecutive year of net increase, Statistics Canada says.

At the same time, asset appreciation has outstripped both debt and income increases, according to the 2016-17 farm debt and asset outlook from FCC. The organization reported that asset values increased 155.1 per cent from 2001 to 2015, above the 125.8 per cent increase in debt and 85.2 per cent increase in farm cash income.

The same report linked soaring costs of farmland and buildings with increases in farm debt. While debt increased 125.8 per cent from 2001 to 2015, farmland and building values appreciated 211.1 per cent. Farmland appreciation has also outpaced farm revenue nationwide over the last five years, the report said.

Managing the risk As with any loan, borrowing money for the farm comes with a risk that interest rates could rise.

Borrowers perform a delicate balancing act, trading between the risk of floating rates —

lower, but open to upwards pressure — with more secure, but expensive, fixed rates.

The Bank of Canada’s interest rate is expected to remain low, although at least one economist from the Bank of Montreal has told the CBC that rates may increase by April of next year. It’s important to remember the central rate is not the only thing that determines the rates you pay.

In particular, Gervais said, interest rates may be impacted by financial policy in the United States. In March 2017, the U.S. Federal Reserve increased key interest by 25 basis points.

“What customers need to understand is the rate that they pay is a function of the rate that the financial institution itself borrows some money (at) to lend it back to producers,” Gervais said. “If interest rates in the financial market — and I’m talking about government bonds, corporate bonds — and if all of these interest rates in the U.S. are moving up, it is likely that at one point it will be moving up as well in Canada.”

Te r r y B e t k e r, C E O a n d president of consulting firm Backswath Management Inc., says conversations with his customers often start with the reason behind their loan before moving into what terms and conditions the operator can afford.

“The advice that I give farmers is to look at their debt servicing ability, the term — how long they’re committed to the payments — the impact on their ability to generate cash flow and then, in a worst-case scenario, if they have to restructure, do they have the ability to do it?” Betker said.

Perhaps most importantly, Betker said, a well-managed loan should be flexible and producers should leave room for possible interest shocks or unexpected drops in income.

For those who are risk averse, a two-to-one ratio of earning ability for every dollar of payments is ideal, but often unattainable on the farm, Betker said. Most producers instead set a tolerance between $1.25 and $1.50 to $1.

“This depends a little bit on a function of cash flow,” Betker said. “A farm that’s in supply management, that has more stable cash flow, then they can, I think, afford to be a little tighter on their debt servicing. Farms that have more variability in income, like a grain farmer for example or a livestock cow-calf operation, perhaps they would like to get closer to 1-1/2 to one to be really more comfortable with the risk associated with borrowing the money.”

Borrowers through FCC, meanwhile, might be asked if they could afford products one rung higher than their preferred option.

“If the answer is yes, then we’re a lot more comfortable making that deal,” Gervais said, adding that a one per cent interest rate variance is generally considered “comfortable.”

Risk tolerance will be unique to each operation, Gervais said.

“If you’re a mature business that’s been established — you’re not looking to expand too much and you’ve got lots of equity — maybe you can put a little more risk on the table and say, hey, I’m OK to let my rates float and if they go up, I can live with that,” he said. “If I’m a young entrepreneur and just got into the industry and made a lot of investment decisions, maybe I like to have the security of knowing that ‘this’ is going to be my payment for the next five years, next seven years.”

Betker also pointed to farm size relative to the size of the loan. A large farm will have the ability to build more flexibility than a smaller farm taking out a similar-size loan, he said, as the loan to the bigger farm would be a smaller proportion of overall farm value. A large loan, meanwhile, will often open doors to multiple maturation dates and prepay options, allowing producers to further customize rates and terms.

Mixing and matching Should a farmer opt for a variable rate, they may save substantially, but may also face a financial hit if those interest rates rise. A farmer opting for the fixed rate, meanwhile, may end up losing out if the lower variable rate does not rise.

In most cases, producers with a floating rate may later lock it in, should interest forecasts turn stormy, Betker said, but pointed out that the process of locking in a rate comes with its own perils.

“Understand that the spread

between floating rates or variable rates and fixed rates widens before the floating rate goes up,” Betker said. “Lenders’ risk is not in the short-term money to interest rate, it’s in the longterm money. They don’t want to get on the wrong side of longterm interest rates, so if a lending institution thinks that there might be some risk to interest rates increasing, they’ll increase their long-term rates before they increase their variable rates.”

With this in mind, a farmer looking to lock in an interest rate might suddenly find longterm rates, which were only slightly higher at the time of taking out the loan, have outpaced the short-term rate in the interim.

For farmers who are risk averse but hope to take advantage of lower, but riskier, floating rates, Betker suggested a regimen of self-disciplined saving. Rather than spending the money saved by risking a floating rate, funds could be set aside as contingency in case of interest increases or used to pay back principal.

The “ultimate mitigation to interest rate increase” however, according to Betker, is the ability to term out an agreement should the worst occur and the loan becomes unaffordable.

“Do you have the ability to restructure the debt in your balance street?” Betker said.

“Principal is principal, but if interest rates go up and you can’t generate the cash flow in the business to make the payments as they are currently structured on a farm, what do you do?

Well, you could sell assets; you could try and be more efficient, but generally the action taken would be to term out the debt, to extend the payments.”

Such an option would require assets to put against the new deal, Betker said. For some highly leveraged farms, that ability to manage a worstcase scenario may be out of reach.

“If you’re a mature business that’s been established — you’re not looking to expand too much and you’ve got lots of equity — maybe you can put a little more risk on the table and say, hey, I’m OK to let my rates float and if they go up, I can live with that. If I’m a young entrepreneur and just got into the industry and made a lot of investment decisions, maybe I like to have the security of knowing that ‘this’ is going to be my payment for the next five years, next seven years.”

J.P. Gervais chief agriculture economist for Farm Credit Canada

What not to do Borrowing money may foster a desire to pay it back as quickly as possible, but overaggressive repayment is among the top mistakes that Betker has seen producers make, along with financing large purchases through operating loans or automatically using extra funds to pay off only high-interest loans. Instead, he suggested, producers should prioritize loans with the highest combined interest and principal.

“I think they could do a better job of putting some flexibility into how the loans are termed out and align their repayment with their ability to generate cash flow,” he said.

Ger vais, meanwhile, has linked success with a firm grasp of the link between a dollar of debt and expected monetary return from an investment.

Overall, he said, farm financial conditions have “evolved the right way.”

FCC’s 2016-17 outlook identified possible challenges as projected farm income and land appreciation flattens, and acknowledged that farmland values were outstripping crop receipts. “Financial risks remain manageable as the outlook for interest rates and net cash income are supportive of the balance sheet,” the report read.

“It remains prudent for agricultural operations to be flexible enough to amend business plans if the outlook for borrowing costs and/or profitability moves in a different direction.”

Should interest rates rise, Gervais expects both asset values and debt to slow down, although overall impact on farm debt would be hard to gauge. astockford@farmmedia.com

CROP REPORT

Hot and dry conditions spur need for rain Manitoba Agriculture crop report issued June 5, 2017 Provincial Summary Hot, dry weather conditions prevailed during the week with shower activity reported in most regions bringing very little precipitation.

An isolated storm event in the south-central part of the province brought an isolated rainfall of up to 75 mm. Most areas indicate that a moderate rainfall would be beneficial to improve topsoil moisture conditions.

Strong southerly winds during the week caused some soil drifting and blowing on fields with poor crop residue cover or growth.

Seeding operations are almost done in the province with about 95 per cent completed. The Northwest region reports delayed seeding in the The Pas area from earlier heavy rains.

Annual crops are developing and growing well with the warmer weather conditions.

Herbicide applications are progressing as crops are in the proper stage but challenging due to the windy conditions.

Flea beetle feeding on c a n o l a h a s b e e n re p o r t e d with some control measures a p p l i e d w h e re n e c e s s a r y.

Diamondback moth monitoring using pheromone attractants show low counts to date.

Hay and pastures are growing but could use a good rain.

Haying is expected to start this week for high-quality hay.

Livestock water supplies are considered adequate.

Southwest Region There was little to no precipitation over the past week. Winds continue to dry out soil surface leading to poorer germination and emergence of later-seeded crops. Much of the seed in those fields is sitting in dry topsoil.

Soil temperatures increased last week due to a short, late-week heat wave.

Most farmers are hoping for a decent rain to soften packed seeds and provide adequate moisture for germinating canola and later-seeded crops.

Overall seeding is 95 to 97 per complete, except for isolated wetter fields and some silage plantings.

Winter wheat is in the flagleaf to early-heading stage and most fall rye fields are heading.

Early-seeded cereal crops are in the three- to four-leaf stage with producers starting to apply weed control measures. Cereal growth is slow due to the lack of moisture.

Early-seeded canola is at the two- to three-leaf stage and producers are completing their first pass of weed control products.

Field peas are growing well and are in the two- to threeleaf stage.

E a r l y- p l a n t e d s oy b e a n s have emerged and entered the unifoliate stage. Later-planted soybeans are germinating.

Corn and sunflower growth are slow.

Flea beetles are a major issue in canola but are below threshold levels.

Diamondback moth counts remain at low levels.

Most producers now have cattle on summer pastures.

Northwest Region Warmer temperatures and strong winds contributed to dry down soil surfaces and allowed seeding operations to progress.

Rainfall was limited with 13 mm of rain received in The Pas. Soil moisture conditions are extremely variable with some soils rated dry, others excessively wet.

Overall seeding is estimated to be 90 per cent complete with the exception of The Pas where seeding is less than five per cent complete.

Strong winds are a challenge for herbicide applicat i o n s h owe ve r, o p e ra t i o n s have started and will continue as field conditions allow and as crops reach the proper stage. There are reports of spraying for flea beetle damage in some canola fields in the Swan River Valley. Injury caused is considered minimal in many cases. Diamondback moth monitoring trap counts remain low.

Central Region Temperatures reached 30 to 35 C on Friday, allowing for rapid crop growth. Seeding is essentially complete, with only a few fields left to be planted in areas that were wetter. The region received some rainfall this past week, with amounts received ranging from five to 10 mm. Cartwright and Glenboro areas received upwards of 25 to 30 mm; MacGregor reported 25 to 60 mm; an area by Belmont reported a downpour of 75 mm.

Dry topsoil conditions prevail in lighter-textured soils in the southwest part of the region and germination is impacted as a result.

St r o n g s o u t h e r l y w i n d s caused soil blowing on fields with poor crop residue cover.

Topsoil moisture conditions are just adequate for seed germination in lighter soil types.

The majority of cereals are emerged and growing well.

Most cereal crops range from three- to four-leaf stage to as much as five to six leaf and tillering.

Earlier cooler weather conditions and dry topsoils delayed canola emergence and growth allowing for flea beetle injury to occur.

Insecticide applications are being made to headlands, and in a few cases, entire fields.

Diamondback moths are monitored weekly; trap count numbers are low to date.

C o r n f i e l d s a r e g r ow i n g slowly due to the cooler temperatures. Sunflowers and flax are emerging; seed rows are evident. Soybeans are germinating to unifoliate stage, with some fields in the first trifoliate.

Post-emergent herbicide applications continue to be a challenge due to the windy conditions. There is a lot of both broadleaf and grass weed pressure in many fields, especially where early application attempts were thwarted by adverse weather conditions.

Dandelions, Canada thistle, wild buckwheat and smartweed are the predominant weeds in eastern areas. Wild oats seem to be more of an issue in western parts of the region. Barnyard grass is evident in low areas, and where crops were poor last year due to excess moisture. Purslane speedwell, an indicator of wet soil conditions the previous season, has been found in a number of fields in the eastern part of the region.

The majority of wheat acres in the east are sprayed w i t h h e r b i c i d e s , f o l l ow e d closely by canola acres. First pass in soybeans is underway, especially in fields that didn’t receive a pre-seed or pre-emergent herbicide application.

Some top dress nitrogen applications are being made.

Eastern Region Hot, dr y and often windy weather prevailed this past week. Forecasted rainfall events have not materialized and have been a disappointment.

Precipitation amounts across the eastern region this past week ranged from two to 10 mm. The warm, windy weather combined with little precipitation has affected topsoil moisture conditions on cropland across the region and are rated as 90 per cent adequate to 10 per cent short.

Everyone would like to see a meaningful rainfall event to stimulate crop growth. Some late-seeded crops and espec i a l l y f i e l d s t h a t re q u i re d

intense seedbed preparation (terminated fall-seeded crops or failed hay stands) really need rain to aid in crop germination and emergence.

Seeding is all but complete with the occasional seeding unit still out over the weekend. Most late seeding at this point is due to delayed decisions on ter minating fallseeded cereals or hayfields.

Pre-emergent herbicide applications are pretty much done. Post-emergent applications will get a big push this week. Windy conditions frustrated producers and herbicide applications opportunities are been very limited.

Some crops are very uneven in development stages leading to concerns about application timing when spraying as early as possible.

Some cutworm damage re p o r t e d i n s p r i n g w h e a t , canola, corn and sunflowers.

The damage is not considered widespread, there have been no report of post-emergent spraying take place. Flea beetle damage has been observed in canola, but we have not had reports of post-emergent spraying take place.

Interlake Region This past week, warm temperatures and scattered rainfall throughout the region resulted in rapid growth and development of crops. Rainfall varied from 0.8 to 19 mm, and temperatures was recorded as high as 34.8 C. In the south Interlake cereals are in the three- to five-

leaf stage and tillering. The first round of herbicide spraying is in full swing and about a quarter to a third complete.

There is a lot of wild oat pressure due to the cool spring weather conditions. Canola is in the cotyledon to fourleaf stage. There has been some spraying for flea beetles which have emerged during this last warm spell. Soybeans var y in development from emergence to second trifoliate stage. Corn varies from two- to four-leaf stage. Soil moisture conditions are considered good in the south Interlake. Topsoil moisture is considered somewhat dry and could use a moderate rain at this time.

Strong winds this past week and dry soil surfaces with little crop cover resulted in soil erosion on some fields in the region exposing some germinating seed. Rain later in the week helped to reduce the blowing of soils.

Crops in the north Interlake are lagging up to two weeks behind in the south Interlake.

Cereals are emerging to three-leaf stage, canola is emerging to two-leaf stage and soybeans are emerging to the first trifoliate. Fall rye and winter wheat crops are in flag-leaf stage and will emerge from the boot soon.

Soil moisture conditions range from dry to very dry in the top 7.5 cm. There is still a small amount of seeding to do in fields with low areas and fields with poor/slow drainage.

The John Deere ‘spoker’ Model D tractor This tractor had an epic production run of nearly 30 years and is the first tractor of many farms

The John Deere Model D was one of the most popular and versatile early tractors. This "spoker" model was donated to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum by early supporter Dan Campbell of Chater, Man. PHOTO: MANITOBA AGRICULTURAL MUSEUM

BY ALEX CAMPBELL Manitoba Agricultural Museum

T

he Manitoba Agricultural Museum has a number of John Deere Model D tractors in its collection ranging from a “spoker” Model D to late-model-styled Ds. John Deere built Model Ds over an astonishing production run of almost 30 years, beginning in 1924 and ending in 1953. After assembly line production had ceased, there were still orders coming in for Model Ds so John Deere built a number of Ds in late 1953 on a street behind its tractor plant, using D parts the company had in stock. Production of Ds totalled 159,083.

The “spoker” John Deere Model D tractor in our collection was donated to the m u s e u m i n 1 9 6 1 by D a n Campbell of Chater, Manitoba.

He purchased the tractor used in 1927 from the John Deere dealer in Brandon.

When the tractor was new, it had been purchased by a Mr. Spears who farmed at Alexander, who traded it for a new tractor in 1927. The tractor ss was used for field work on the Campbell farm such as plowing and harrowing, however, draft horses were still used for other work such as seeding and cutting hay.

Dan Campbell, along with his brothers who also farmed in the Chater area, operated a steam threshing out-

fit until 1939. After that date, Dan operated his own threshing machine, a 24-inch Woods Brothers machine, using the D to power it. In 1942, the tractor was rebuilt with a newer block featuring 6.75-inch-diameter cylinders, new rings and valves.

The tractor from the factory had a 6.5-inch bore block. The original Dixie magneto was replaced with a Wico magneto as the Dixie was worn out.

In 1947, Dan Campbell purchased a new D and the 1925 D was relegated to secondary duties such as harrowing and belt work. By 1957, the tractor was out of use on the farm.

After a period of inactivity, it was donated by Campbell, who was involved with the Manitoba Agricultural Museum almost from the very start. He served as a director in 1953.

The design featured a simple two-cylinder engine with pressure lubrication, a one-piece transmission case featuring two forward speeds originally and transmission gears that are substantial, to say the least.

Over the course of production various changes and updates to the D design were made. The first Ds came equipped with an open spoke flywheel and these early tractors came to be known as “spoker” Ds. By 1925 solid “disc” flywheels were being installed as the spoked flywheels were prone to cracking.

As production of Ds continued, improvements were made such as power takeoffs, an updated

Apparently some Ds in southern Alberta and Montana even burned light sweet crude oil for fuel.

transmission with three forward speeds, rubber tires, oil filters and updated steering gear.

In 1939 John Deere introduced styled bodywork and fenders which made the later Ds look significantly different from the unstyled Ds. However, under the tin, they were largely the same from a mechanical point of view. The last Ds built could be ordered with electric starting, electric lights and hydraulics.

John Deere claimed that the two-cylinder engine design made possible a short, properly heated manifold with both cylinders equidistant from the carburetor. The gasified fuel travelled only a few inches, each cylinder received the same charge, with combustion taking place immediately after the cylinder was charged. This meant there was no chance for the fuel to reliquefy. The Model “D” could successfully burn low-cost fuels such as distillate, furnace oil, fuel oil, Turner Valley naphtha, some grades of diesel oil, and other money-

saving fuels as well as gasoline or kerosene. When burning these fuels the tractor would be started on gasoline, warmed up and then switched over to the low-cost fuel. The gas tank featured two compartments, a small one for gas and a large compartment for kerosene or low-cost fuel. A three-way valve could switch between tanks as well as featuring an off position. Usually to shut the tractor down the operator just turned the valve to the off position and let the tractor run out of fuel, draining the carburetor in preparation for starting on gas.

John Deere further claimed, to help in the combustion of low-cost fuels, the relatively s l ow - s p e e d , t w o - c y l i n d e r engine allowed more time for the complete combustion of these heavier, slower-burning fuels. The combination of short, hot manifold with the gasified fuel travelling the same distance to each cylinder, and slower engine speed also reduced harmful oil dilution in a John Deere Model “D” tractor when burning low-cost fuels, resulting in far longer life of all engine parts.

Ap p a re n t l y s o m e D s i n southern Alberta and Montana even burned light sweet crude oil for fuel. When burning this fuel, a different manifold was used with the exhaust coming out on the right side of the tractor, not the left side. This manifold design was hotter than the standard manifold

and better vaporized the crude oil. It, apparently, was common practice when burning crude oil to drain excess oil out of the crankcase at the end of the day. Not all the crude oil was burnt in the cylinders and the unburnt “ends” were wiped off the cylinder walls and swept into the crankcase by the piston rings.

In the view of many tractor fans, John Deere hit a home run with the D and made the company a player in the tractor business.

The 175th anniversary of John Deere is 2017 and in celebration, the 2017 Threshermen’s Reunion and Stampede features John Deere as the Expo Feature. As well as the John Deere machinery in the museum collection, we are expecting a wide selection of John Deere machinery from outside collectors to appear at the John Deere Expo.

Prairie fare Does sleep evade you on some nights?

One out of three people experiences sleep issues at least on occasion

BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

I

opened the hotel room door and glanced around the room. I rolled my suitcase in and parked it by the window. Then I took some things out of the suitcase to bring to the bathroom.

On the way, I noticed an empty water bottle lying on the floor. Oh, the maid missed it, I thought. Then I noticed the bathroom sink was half full of soapy water and a used towel was on the counter. This was odd.

I walked out of the bathroom and noticed a key card on the dresser and the imprint of a person’s head on the pillow. My heart began beating quickly. Was someone hiding in my room? I opened the closet. Why on earth did I do that?

Fortunately, no one jumped out of the closet. Trust me, I didn’t check under the bed.

I watched many scary movies in my youth, and I could almost hear the “Twilight Zone” theme song playing.

I repacked my suitcase very quickly, zipped out of the room and hopped on the elevator.

When I told the woman at the desk I might have an unknown roommate, her eyes widened. A male guest had been upgraded to a suite and they hadn’t checked my room after transferring him.

My stoic, matter-of-fact “inner Norwegian” took over, and I found it a little amusing now that I was out of the room.

She apologized profusely and started handing me things: a gift card for the hotel gift shop, another bottle of water and a free dinner coupon. While I ate, the staff cleaned and rekeyed my room.

“Are you sure you changed the key, and no one else has the same key?” I asked. Needless to say, I slept even less well than I usually do in hotels.

When I am travelling, I usually am an insomniac the first night in a hotel, even in normal situations.

Sleep is a necessity. Sleep supports overall good health, brain function, everyday performance and physical health. A persistent lack of sleep can lead to a higher risk of heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Sleep is dependent on many factors, including good dietary choices. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK

Experiencing poor or not enough sleep is fairly common. One out of three people experiences sleep issues at least on occasion.

Many things can cause troubled sleep.

Side-effects of medications, excessive travel and shifting to different time zones, and a busy, stressful or irregular work schedule are among the issues that can affect sleep.

You probably are aware that beverage and food choices can affect sleep, too. Food choices that are low in fibre, high in saturated fat and high in sugar are linked with interrupted sleep. On the other hand, highfibre, high-protein food choices with less saturated fat are linked with better sleep.

If you can’t sleep, should you grab a turkey sandwich and glass of milk? Turkey and milk are sources of tryptophan, an amino acid, or protein building block, found in many foods. Our bodies use this amino acid to make melatonin, a hormone that aids people in falling asleep. You also can buy melatonin in pill form.

Melatonin may help people fall asleep, especially when suffering from jet lag or when they do shift work with variable scheduling, but the research results are

Lentil and chickpea burgers 1 c. lentils, dry (cooked according to package directions) 2 medium onions, sliced 2 tsp. curry powder 1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 3 tsp. fresh ginger root, grated 1 egg 1/4 c. parsley, chopped 2 tbsp. cilantro, chopped 2-1/4 c. Italian bread crumbs

This recipe is low in saturated fat, and high in fibre and protein, making it a good choice for an evening meal.

PHOTO: NDSU

Cook lentils. Drain well. Spray a pan with cooking spray or use a small amount of oil; add onions and cook until soft. Add curry powder; stir until fragrant. Cool mixture slightly. Place chickpeas, half the lentils, ginger, egg and onion mixture in food processor bowl. Process 20 seconds or until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, stir in

mixed. Some studies show that melatonin may help you fall asleep faster. Be sure to visit with your health-care provider before trying supplements or other over-the-counter sleep aids.

Practise good “sleep hygiene.” This doesn’t mean taking a shower before bed. The term refers to practices that may help you get to sleep and stay asleep. Be sure your bedroom is dark and at a comfortable temperature, not too hot or too cold. Invest in a comfortable mattress. Follow the same bedtime routine, even on weekends.

Refrain from using computers, tablets and smartphones before bed because the light emitted may trick your brain into thinking that you should be awake. In fact, leave phones out of your room because incoming text messages can disturb your sleep.

Avoid alcohol, nicotine and caffeinated foods and beverages for several hours before bedtime. Have a light snack if needed, and remember, a glass of milk won’t hurt, either.

This recipe is a little heavy for a bedtime snack but fits the bill when looking for a recipe that is low in saturated fat, high in fibre and high in protein. Try it for an evening meal with fresh fruit and milk.

remaining lentils, parsley, cilantro and bread crumbs; combine well. Divide mixture into 10 round patties. Note: If mixture is too soft, you can refrigerate for about 15 minutes or until you can handle the mixture. Place patties on hot, lightly greased grill. Cook three to four minutes on each side or until browned, turning once.

Serve immediately or allow to cool, wrap with plastic, then foil, and freeze. To serve, remove packaging. Reheat in the oven, microwave or a pan on the stove until warm throughout. Serve with your favourite burger toppings.

Elphinstone resident presented with service award Sylvia Dziver receives 2017 Premier’s Volunteer Service Award A special project of hers was the initiation of a Lord Elphinstone plaque, after whom the community was named.

By Darrell Nesbitt Freelance contributor

T

ruly committed, truly caring, and truly wonderful,” is how Sylvia Dziver of Elphinstone has been described.

“There will never be another person who will put in the volunteer time that Sylvia Dziver has over her lifetime,” said Elphinstone resident Bev Leganchuk, who nominated Dziver for the Premier’s Volunteer Service Award.

With plenty of examples to back up this claim, it’s not surprising that Dziver was presented with the 2017 Premier’s Volunteer Service Award at a private reception with Premier Brian Pallister during the Volunteer Manitoba’s Awards Dinner held in April.

“It was a very memorable and a very honourable experience,” said Dziver.

Born and raised in Elphinstone, the 76-year-old has a lot of pride in the community.

“I really like my little community and I like things neat and tidy and if I can help in any way, shape or form, that’s what I do,” she said.

Over the years Dziver has lent a hand planting flowers, putting up Christmas decorations, tak-

ing part in rink activities and the hall committee, and various other ways in which she could keep her community in tip-top appearance.

A special project of hers was the initiation of a Lord Elphinstone plaque, after whom the community was named.

“I did a lot of research,” said Dziver, explaining that the town, located just off Highway 45 in the RM of Yellowhead, came into being as a Hudson Bay Company Post, and was named for Lord Elphinstone of Scotland, who came to the area in the late 1800s.

She has also helped out at the

Ride for Life in Horod, and the community’s poker derby, and planted flowers in nearby Sandy Lake.

“It’s a c o n t i n u a t i o n o f Elphinstone,” said Dziver, who plans to keep on volunteering “as long as my two feet can carry me.”

Leganchuk is pleased that Dziver received some welldeserved recognition.

“From making sure culverts were flowing in the spring, dog licences were purchased, the gopher population destroyed, and above all, her home community was neat and presentable to fellow residents and those passing through, Dziver is rightly deserving for such high salutation,” she said.

The Premier’s Volunteer Service Award was established in 1986 and is presented annually in three categories — Individual, Youth and Community Groups.

Using containers in the landscape They can be used in a variety of ways to add additional accents around the yard

When creating a design, consider the container’s location so that the plants can be arranged to best advantage.

By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

T

he planting season is over but avid gardeners continue to tweak their gardens, adding additional accents here and there to provide even more pizzazz to their landscapes. And besides, who can resist some of the bargains now offered by the garden centres at this time of year? We always seem to be able to find a spot for just a few more plants!

Finally, when the vegetable garden and the flower borders are completely filled and cannot possibly hold even one more plant, we resort to filling a few more containers.

There’s nothing like a couple of containers to soften hardscaped areas. A barren driveway or a large patio can be dressed up with the addition of these spilling forth colourful displays of plants. A small number of large containers usually looks better than a large grouping of smaller pots to avoid a cluttered look.

When creating a design, consider the container’s location so that the plants can be arranged to best advantage. In a container to be viewed from all sides, position the tallest plants in the centre. If the container is to be tucked into a corner and viewed from only one side, then the taller plants are best planted toward the back with

the shorter plants in front of them.

Arrangements of plants are most attractive when they include spillers (trailing plants), dazzlers (plants that serve as focal points), and fillers (smaller plants that fill in the spaces between the larger specimens to ensure a nice full pot).

Besides dressing up hardscaped a re a s, c o n t a i n e r s a re u s e f u l a s entrance accents. Placing two large matching containers on either side of

A container can be used to fill a “hole” in the garden.

an entranceway to a path or garden room gives a sense that you are entering a defined area of the garden. When adding such accents at this time of year, the containers might have to be nestled into already existing plants, making them a part of the established design. Also, a large container near the entrance to the home adds a welcoming touch.

If you have an outbuilding or garden shed, add some interest and col-

our by placing a couple of containers on either side of the door of the structure, or perhaps construct a window box and fasten it to the building.

Where else can “extra” plants be used? By mid-June gardeners begin to notice “holes” in some of their flower borders. Perhaps a plant or two died or early perennials finished blooming and have been deadheaded and trimmed back. Inserting containers of bright annuals can fill in these gaps and add spots of colour all season long.

One advantage of containers is that they are portable. When they cease to perform a certain function in a particular spot, they can be moved to another location. They can be used in a variety of ways to add colourful accents here and there in the garden, and are a great way to grow just a few more plants!

History of Pilot Mound’s ‘Old Mound’ The hill from which the town gets its name is actually two km away

By Donna Gamache Freelance contributor

R

ecently, my husband and I drove to the south-central part of Manitoba to explore the mound near the town of Pilot Mound, in the municipality of Louise. This hill, from which the town takes its name, is actually about two kilometres away from the town’s present site. It is historically significant to the region and offers a scenic view of the surrounding area.

The mound — which was probably formed by glaciers — is a ridge 35 metres high.

It was a prominent landmark used by early travellers as it could be seen from across the prairie for up to 26 km. In 1908 archeological excavations on the hill found old pottery remains and evidence that on the top there was also an artificial mound which had been used as an Aboriginal burial site. It is believed that the pond at the bottom of the hill formed after the soil for this man-made part of the mound was removed.

Later, the place was used for buffalo hunters to meet and as a gathering spot for Aboriginals to hold ceremonial dances — for which it was called “Little Dance Hill” (Mepawaquomoshin). It is said that in the mid-1850s a major battle was fought on the northern slopes between the hunters and the Sioux — the second last major battle on the North American plains. ( The Battle of the Little Bighorn

The old bank vault. GAMACHE PHOTOS

in Montana in 1876 was the last.) Apparently the battle started because two buffalo hunters had been killed by the Aboriginals. The hunters, some 1,500 in number, retaliated by attacking the Sioux, almost completely wiping them out. Two escaped but 597 are said to have been buried on the western slope of the mound.

In more recent times, settlers from Ontario arrived in the region and made plans for a town named Pilot Mound to be established on the southern slopes of the hill. Hundreds of lots were organized and sold — most at a cost of $1.60 or $3.20 each. Soon many homes and various businesses were built, including several stores, a school, sawmill, grist-

mill and church. Sir John A. MacDonald even spoke at a political rally there in 1885. To see an actual plan of the lots laid out and sold, who bought them and what the price was, go to: http://www.pilotmound.com/history.shtml and click on the indicated line.

Soon, however there was a change. The Canadian Pacific Railway was being constructed and it was expected that the route would pass near the mound. Instead, it was built a mile farther south, so it was decided to move all the buildings south to the presentday site of Pilot Mound and it was reincorporated there in 1904. Just one item could not be moved — the stone vault of the town’s bank. Today, the only evidence that a town

It was a prominent landmark used by early travellers as it could be seen from across the prairie for up to 26 km.

once existed on the mound is this vault which remains partway up the slope.

On our visit we stopped to look inside the vault. The door is missing and shrubs now grow on top, but plans are underway to repair the structure. The mound today

is privately owned by Eric and Pamela McKay, and is used as a cattle pasture in summer, but they hope to hire a stonemason to repair the vault and put back the original door, which they still have. Then a fence will be put around the vault to keep the cattle away.

According to Eric McKay, the site is visited each summer by visitors from North Dakota, descendants of the warriors slain in the big battle. They hold special smudging ceremonies as a memorial to those killed. Others are welcome to join them during the ceremonies, or visit at other times, although the hill is fenced as pasture land.

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 railway track, overgrown with vegetation, runs beside an old elevator at Napinka. It was constructed in 1926 by the Ogilvie Milling Company. Its initial capacity of 35,000 bushels was expanded in 1957 with a 25,000-bushel annex. Taken over by Manitoba Pool in 1959, it became the B elevator at this point, used mostly for storing rye and oats. The Pool A elevator, with a 40,000-bushel capacity, was built in 1927 and expanded in 1951 with a 30,000-bushel annex. Later, Pool A was upgraded with a metric scale and larger driveway. The two elevators were operated by a single agent. The annexes were removed in the 1970s and the elevators were closed in July 1984, after efforts to sell them to another company failed. They were sold for use in private grain storage. Source: Gordon Goldsborough (July 2016)

Last week's answer

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

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