hile farmers have been waiting impatiently for equipment designers to commercialize the driverless tractor, Prairie inventor and entrepreneur Norbert Beaujot has found a way to ditch the tractor altogether.

And he’s rolling it out for the first time in July 18 to 20 at Ag in Motion (AIM), Western Canada’s outdoor farm show now in its third season.

“Everyone else is working on adapting the tractor technology to be autonomous, where this takes a grassroots look at it and says, why do we need a tractor?” says Beaujot, president and founder of SeedMaster, which has been developing the concept over the past three years through sister company Dot Technology Corp.

Not only does the DOT autonomous field implement platform eliminate the need for the hefty drawing power of a fourwheel-drive tractor, it eliminates axles, wheels and hitches on most field implements by essentially turning them into self-propelled units.

“The main reason I wanted to avoid having a tractor is if you take a 500-horsepower tractor and you drive it through the field, between 20 per cent and

a third of its power requirement is to move itself. It has to have all the weights on it for the traction to pull whatever is behind,” Beaujot said in a recent interview.

“In this case, the weight of the implement and weight of the grain, or seed or fertilizer — whatever you put into it — satisfies the traction requirement.”

It takes only seconds for the

U-shaped ‘prime mover’ operating on four independent hydrostatic wheels to sidle up to a specially designed implement such as seeder, sprayer or grain cart and hydraulically lift it onto its platform.

By carrying the implement instead of pulling it, it provides the same mobility — while being ‘driven’ remotely.

Beaujot says it potentially reduces the capital costs farm-

ers have tied up in equipment, in addition to offering doubledigit cuts in the cost of fuel and labour.

“I suspect that we would be looking at a 20 to 30 per cent saving per foot of implement,” he said.

The autonomous platform can be controlled by a remote operator or programmed

Ex s i l i o, a Fi n n i s h company, has developed a high-tech solution for cultivating crops like salads and herbs in urban environments.

Its EkoFARMER system is a modified shipping container, stuffed with growing equipment.

“Our solution is ideal for restaurants and institutional kitchens wanting to produce their own fresh ingredients,” Thomas Tapio, CEO of Exsilio, said. “The modules also serve as an excellent solution for farmers to expand their traditional greenhouses.”

The unit forms a closed system that is delivered t u r n k e y, re q u i r i n g o n l y water and electricity outlets. The level of humidity, water, and carbon dioxide can be controlled efficiently in order to produce the optimal yield and the best possible flavour, the company says.

In a d d i t i o n t o re s t a u rants and farmers, Tapio also envisions various other prospective industrial user groups for the modules, including research.

“EkoFARMER is an excellent option for business fields in need of salads, herbs, (edible) flowers or medicinal plants,” Tapio said. “The social aspect of urban farming is also prominent. For this reason, our solution is suitable for associations

wanting to earn some extra income, or societies wanting to offer meaningful activities for the unemployed, for example.”

With a small footprint, the module can be placed “almost anywhere” and is also movable, the company said, adding it’s also a very efficient production model, noting it’s expecting production levels approximately three times that of a conventional greenhouse.

Searching for high ground

Flooded out once again this spring, an RM of Kelsey rancher is seeking clarity in muddy waters

BY SHANNON VANRAES

“I don’t know if this is the new normal, or if it was designed to finish what was started last fall, like I said, it’s a weapon and I wish they would just inform people so they can make decisions.”

Co-operator staff

T

im Berscheid is calling on the province to step in and put an end to water management practices that he says have flooded his ranch.

“The provincial government licenses, regulates, operates.

I mean they can try and ditch it off to the municipality, but it’s their jurisdiction,” said Berscheid, who farms in the Rural Municipality of Kelsey, near The Pas. Berscheid and his wife Michelle have been in the area for nearly four decades and their struggles with excess w a t e r h a v e b e c o m e m o re dire with each passing year, he said. Last fall, high water left his cattle stranded as he turned to crowdfunding for assistance.

“We sold some of them, but we’ve also used our expertise to scratch stuff together to make the feed supply last and did what cattle guys do — we made the best of a bad situation. But nobody warned us that this is what we could expect at the end of that struggle as a reward,” he said.

This spring his cattle are again stranded on a patchwork of hills and highlands as water moves in.

“It’s a little different this time of year because you have a little bit of grass, but that grass is quickly getting flooded and disappearing,” he said, adding he has asked Manitoba Agriculture for assistance. “But the only assistance I got from the Agriculture Department is it wants to change my contract so it can take my land away, that’s the assistance I got.”

When questioned, a spokesperson for the Manitoba government said that the terms of Berscheid’s lease “are being honoured” by the province, but also noted the department can provide ranchers a list of alternate lands where cattle can be relocated.

What Berscheid wants, however, is for the province to step in and regulate the use of the water control structures he believes are inundating his land. While pumps are running at full tilt pushing water in his direction, the rancher said pumps that could be moving water off his land are sitting idle and a crucial culvert remains blocked.

“They have operating rules that they are supposed to follow that they are breaching, they have equipment that they are choosing not to use, they are making choices,” Berscheid said.

Not so, according to the province, which points the finger back at local officials.

“Ongoing operations of the Main Pump Station and Victor Jory Pump Station in this area are guided through regular interaction with a pumping committee made up of representatives from the Pasquia Growers Association, the RM of Kelsey and government officials to protect agricultural lands in the area,” said a provincial spokesperson.

“Extraordinarily wet conditions are prevalent through-

out the Pasquia area. Pumping operations are being conducted to minimize the impacts of excess water.”

B e r s c h e i d a c k n ow l e d g e s that it’s been an extremely wet spring, but said that doesn’t change the fact that water is being pumped onto his land.

“The area we are in has a plug in one end and pumps and a control structure in the other, which is up to the government to operate, the committee from the RM is just advisory,” he said. “We are kinda at the forefront... this water that they are sending this way has to be pumped twice, and they have allowed and turned a blind eye to complaints filed where culverts were collapsed or plugged that would allow a release of some of that water to go to other pumping stations and be pumped once, but they sit and do nothing about it.”

“They doubled the capacity of the Mile 14 pumphouse, they did a major upgrade on it and the reason for that upgrade was to be able to take water from Big Lake and pump it once, rather than pumping it twice, but they are choosing not to use that equipment for what it was designed for,” he said.

Illegal drainage, poor maintenance of culverts, failure to enforce existing regulations and self-interest among those charged with water management have all contributed to flooding, Berscheid said.

“It’s the cowboy way up here,” he added.

The Manitoba Co-operator reached out to RM of Kelsey reeve, Rod Berezowecki, but did not receive a response before press time.

Other community members who did not wish to comment on the record cited ongoing and past litigation and a lot of drainage in the region as contributing to the inability to resolve the issue.

For his part, Berscheid said he does feel like water is being used as a weapon against him and his family. In 2007 he was able to successfully lobby for the temporary shutdown of the pumps that flood his land, but as soon as the water stopped the death threats began.

“I d o n’t k n ow i f t h i s i s the new normal, or if it was designed to finish what was started last fall, like I said, it’s a weapon and I wish they would just inform people so they can make decisions, rather than wait till you got your cows out there and go, oh, yeah, by the way, we’re just going to let them flood ya,” he said, adding that if the rules established in 1997 for operating water control structures were abided by he wouldn’t be in the situation he is now.

“When everything is said and done, it’s provincial jurisdiction and it’s like they want to turn a blind eye,” he said. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Farm sector equity rises in 2016 The ag sector posts its smallest year-on-year increase CNS CANADA

A

griculture sector equity rose slightly in 2016, according to a Statistics Canada balance sheet on the industry.

Farm sector equity totalled $500.3 billion for the year ending Dec. 31. That’s a 4.5 per cent increase, or $21.6 billion, from the same period a year ago, according to the report released June 21.

Farm equity — assets used to produce agricultural products, minus the liabilities associated with those assets — for the previous four years reached $478.7 billion (2015); $449.1 billion (2014); $407.5 billion (2013); and $365.6 billion (2012).

The $500.3 billion for 2016 represents the smallest increase year on year since 2009, StatsCan said in the report.

Ever y province except Newfoundland and Labrador (down one per cent), and New Brunswick (down 3.1

per cent) posted farm equity increases.

Total farm assets were boosted by a $27.3-billion (7.3 per cent) gain in farmland values. Farmland values rose in every province, with Prince Edward Island recording the largest gain at 13.2 per cent and New Brunswick posting the smallest farmland value increase at two per cent.

Decreasing values for livestock and poultry kept a lid on potentially higher farm asset values, with those sectors showing a $3.6-billion fall in inventory values.

Cattle and calf prices were down 15.8 per cent in 2016 compared to the year earlier and were cited as the main reason for overall livestock and poultry decline.

To t a l f a r m l i a b i l i t i e s increased $6.3 billion (7.5 per cent) to $90.8 billion.

Farms’ debt-to-asset ratio was 15.4 per cent in 2016, up from 15 per cent in 2015.

That’s slightly below the fiveyear average of 15.5 per cent.

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Our country

I

t’s long been a national pastime, fretting over “Canadian identity.”

Does it exist? What is it? How do we define it? What does it say about us?

With Canada Day set for this weekend, and a milestone 150th birthday party celebration for the nation set to run all summer, we’re no exception here at the Co-operator.

In the coming weeks you’ll be seeGord Gilmour ing a serialization by the Manitoba Editor Agricultural Museum’s Alex Campbell, looking at the agricultural story of this part of Canada, as part of our own celebration.

Reading those words has been educational and illuminating.

In this issue you’ll read about the early and often-overlooked agriculture of the First Nations prior to, and at the time of European contact. You’ll also learn of the garden plots of the fur traders and the first true farming of field crops around the Red River Colony.

While these groups are very different, they’re the foundation upon which our province is built and continues to grow.

Considering their stories brings to mind the kind of pioneer tales familiar to most of us.

Life was undoubtedly nasty, brutish and short, as the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes once wrote.

For the First Nations residents, life may have been free, but it certainly wasn’t easy.

The Orkneymen of the Hudson’s Bay Company surely must have felt they were at the end of the earth, clinging to the thin soil at the frozen outpost of York Factory. It beat the alternative awaiting them in the slums of Glasgow and Edinburgh, however.

The Selkirk settlers had been pushed off their traditional lands in Scotland by aristocratic landowners who had decided sheep would make them more money than peasant farmers, only to find themselves in an inaccessible, frozen, mosquitoridden and flood-prone corner of the world.

In future weeks you’ll be able to explore the early homesteading, then the arrival of the railway and the flood of immigration. Successive waves of immigration all added their own notes to the song of our country and province, and will continue to do so. Many were fleeing oppression, hardship and terror at home, as many of our newest residents are today.

There were the Hutterites, the Mennonites, the Ukrainians, the poor and hungry from nations around the globe. At one point, Winnipeg’s immigration sheds were bursting at the seams with new arrivals speaking a multitude of languages.

Digging deep into this fertile soil that they could have for “free,” if you didn’t count the registration fee and the backbreaking labour to come, the most important thing they grew was a future for themselves and their families.

As these waves have arrived and built and grown, so has our home been built and improved. While it might be human nature to feel like the world is ‘going to hell in a handbasket’ few would argue that our lives are even approaching as difficult and drudgery filled as any of the early Canadian citizens.

We have inherited and are responsible for maintaining, fostering and improving, a modern democracy that, for all its faults, has rule of law, freedom, peace and prosperity.

It’s the sort of place where a radical firebrand can excoriate the government’s policies and actions and fear no government repression. Where one can practise or not practise any religious belief. Where we periodically have institutionalized revolutions that see the government thrown out by frustrated citizens, without any blood on the streets.

Years ago while writing for Country Guide magazine, I was charged with interviewing a farmer from western Manitoba for a series of portraits of influential farmers. This particular farmer was well known for his involvement in policy matters, including designing some of the better farm income support programs.

During our talk he related many facts and anecdotes that stuck with me, including a hilarious and trenchant observation that he’d initially thought some of the travel related to his work would be glamorous, only to find out it was “the equivalent of a bus trip in the air, with the added inconvenience of waiting for your luggage.”

As the interview was winding down, I asked him if he had any other thoughts on things which had been vital ingredients for his success, and was then presented with the key point I have thought of for years.

He paused a moment to ponder this, then leaned forward and said: “Canada has been a big contributor to my family’s success. My wife and I have been able to raise a family here and our kids have never missed a meal and nobody has ever shot at us.”

Perhaps that’s the most remarkable thing about our country.

That so many of us have come, from so many corners of the globe, to call this place home, and to do so in a largely peaceful manner.

That is our shared legacy, our Canadian identity. We can all only hope it continues for at least another 150 years. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Grocery getter

BY ALAN GUEBERT Farm & Food

W

hen Jeff Bezos, the founder, chairman, and CEO of giant online retailer Amazon.com, paid $250 million (all figures U.S. funds) for the money-losing Washington Post in 2013, market analysts saw a bored billionaire buying a hobby.

They were wrong. Bezos buys businesses, not hobbies.

By 2015, the Post had turned a profit. In 2016, the newspaper announced it would hire 60 more journalists, making it the third-largest newspaper in the U.S. Some of the same market analysts are now downplaying Bezos’ latest leap into another business known for low margins, steep competition, and fickle customers. These naysayers see Amazon’s purchase proposal for upscale grocer Whole Foods as a risky bet.

Maybe, but the “Bezos Effect,” the boss’s legendary Midas touch, helped turn the Whole Foods deal into gold in less than a day.

After Wall Street learned of the buyout June 16, Amazon’s share price rose from an alreadyfat $964 to an even fatter $988. The rise ballooned the company’s value by $15.6 billion, enough to effectively pay for the entire deal.

Now that’s bringing home the bacon.

Still, the retail grocery business is a minefield. Any time anyone, including Jeff Bezos, steps into grocery retailing, they confront unique problems.

As one market analysis firm told the Wall Street Journal while reviewing the deal: “The entire fulfilment process is more complex and time consuming from the moment a grocery shipment arrives... (There’s) the need for refrigeration and factors such as expiration dates, smell, and colour...”

Even if you successfully navigate the order-

OUR HISTORY:

T

ing, transporting, storing, pricing, and timeliness issues, there’s the customer issue: grocery selling remains an incredibly crowded and competitive business. Two years ago there were an estimated 262,800 food stores in the U.S., a 15 per cent increase in just the last decade.

Many of these “new” marketplaces are “old” stores — like retailer Target and pharmacy Walgreens — that now sell food basics.

Others, like Whole Foods, were upscale specialty retailers that expanded rapidly to chase a growing generation of affluent, urban shoppers.

And the crowded field is about to get more crowded. Earlier this month, German supermarket giant Aldi announced plans to add 900 stores to the 1,600 stores it already operates in the U.S. Its competitor, Lidl, just opened its initial 10 U.S. stores.

Still, Amazon bought Whole Foods because it sees a new path to profit. Already on that path is the 60 per cent of all millennial-aged Americans who use the e-platform to buy almost anything.

As such, Amazon doesn’t need to reinvent the grocery store, it only has to reinvent the grocery cart. Only two per cent of today’s $700 billion in annual grocery store sales are made online. Market experts predict that figure will explode to $100 billion by 2027.

Big food retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and Safeway hope to share in that growth. To date, however, none have had much success in figuring out how to get their customers to buy most of their groceries online.

Amazon might. Besides, having already paid for Whole Foods in one day on Wall Street, it has nothing to lose in trying. It only has billions to gain.

June 1983

he Crow rate was a hot topic in June 1983. Jean-Luc Pepin, transport minister in the Pierre Trudeau government, had tabled a bill providing for annual payments to offset the money-losing rate, but debate continued on whether the payment should go to the railways (therefore only on grain shipments) or directly to farmers (which meant it would also be paid to livestock producers). Manitoba’s NDP government opposed the changes, evidenced by this full-page ad in our June 16 issue.

The debate was against a background of a difficult time for farm income — we reported that month that an FCC fund of $150 million established for farmers in “grave financial difficulties” that year had been oversubscribed in the first two months.

Meanwhile, despite $850 million available in the Western Grain Stabilization Administration, a payout for 1983 was in question. WGSA payments were triggered when cash flow from grain sales fell below the five-year average, but this remained high because deliveries were much higher than the previous year.

Canadian Wheat Board Advisory Committee chair Roy Atkinson defended the CWB against criticism that it was not making enough use of Churchill. He rejected requests from CWB Minister Hazen Argue that the board guarantee minimum annual shipments before the government spent $50 million on upgrading the rail line. Atkinson said it was “an attempt to transfer responsibility for the port’s welfare to western grain producers, rather than to the country as a whole, where it belongs.”

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Corn sizzles, then fizzles A major buyback by speculative funds drove the recent market action

BY KAREN BRAUN REUTERS

S

p e c u l a t o r s a x e d a m a s s i ve short position in the corn market within 11 days earlier this month. And what do they have now to show for it? Lower prices.

Specs, usually hesitant to become buyers in such an oversupplied market, bought nearly one billion bushels of corn in the form of CBOT futures and options – equivalent to 200,000 contracts – between June 6 and June 16.

That buying among money managers reversed the 200,981-contract short position held as of May 30.

By June 13, the net short had dwindled to 17,929 contracts and fund buying activity in the days after strongly suggested that the net short no longer existed by the end of last week.

During the 11-day buying rally, July corn futures peaked on June 8, a five per cent gain in price. By the end of last week – which is when the funds had presumably evened out their bets – the total gains amounted to only three per cent.

Prices have fallen further since, as Tuesday’s $3.70 settle (all figures U.S. funds) was the lowest of the month.

This probably sets the record as the biggest fund buyback with the most pitiful price move, as gains were significantly less than those

“This probably sets the record as the biggest fund buyback with the most pitiful price move...”

produced by the spring and earlysummer short-covering rallies of the last two years.

In 2015, funds depleted a hefty short position within the last nine days of June, culminating in a 17 per cent jump in July futures. They did the same within nine days in mid-April 2016 for an 11 per cent gain in the July contract on increasingly unfavourable South American w e a t h e r. T h e 2 0 1 5 m ov e w a s sparked initially by U.S. weather concerns and capped off with bullish government stocks and acreage reports on June 30.

Balance sheets from the previous two years show ample domestic corn supply relative to previous years, but apparently not as ample as this year given the stubbornness in the futures market.

Corn futures finally broke above the relentless 20-cent range earlier this month, spurring action on the commercial side of the market, including U.S. farmers who have been hoarding last year’s crop in hope of better prices. CBOT corntrading volume broke records on

June 7 with help from intense selling by commercial handlers, which pushed against price gains from speculative buying.

Data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission suggests commercial corn hedgers had their third-biggest net sell-off in the week ended June 13, which suggests significant farmer selling.

Not surprisingly, the top spots are occupied by weeks in April 2016 and June 2015.

Weather the only hope?

It has been exactly one year to the day since front-month corn futures traded above $4. With lots of old supply still sitting in bins throughout the Midwest, prices may struggle to notch gains comparable to years past unless U.S. weather genuinely takes a turn for the worse.

Weather thus far in the 2017 growing season has not been perfect, which has been reflected in lower crop ratings than in the previous three high-yielding years.

Fo re c a s t s h a ve b e e n re l a t i ve l y benign this week, but the outlooks

will become even more important in the next two months as pollination followed by grain fill occurs – more chance for volatility should they call for hot and dry stretches.

Even if July and August weather is not glaringly adverse, crop shortfalls that may have arisen amid the wet and cold spring will come to light as soon as the combines begin to roll in September, which could give a late-season boost to futures.

A similar situation arose in 2015 a s d i s a p p o i n t i n g e a r l y h a r ve s t results and a cut in expected production from the U.S. Department of Agriculture sparked a 12 per cent futures rally in the first half of September.

Monstrous output in Brazil will also offer pressure to corn prices as the ongoing harvest could touch 100 million tonnes. This is 50 per cent larger than last year’s droughtstricken crop, which carried the original April 2016 futures rally into midJune with even bigger price gains.

In the past decade, funds were net short corn during July and August only twice. In 2013, the U.S. corn crop was on track to easily surpass the previous year’s disastrous harvest, and in 2016, the eventual record-large output appeared very likely by the midpoint of the summer under nonthreatening weather conditions.

Is the CPI having a really bad year?

A recent informal survey suggests Statistics Canada’s methodology might need some work

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS Dalhouse University

M

ost Canadians would accept that the consumer price index (CPI) is not entirely accurate.

Actually, given the complexity of assessing inflation, the CPI was never meant to be perfect. However, this year, with food inflation, the CPI seems off. According to recent reports, food inflation has run anywhere between 0.1 per cent to 0.3 per cent per month since January.

But with data from several price spot checks around the country, it appears food inflation in Canada could, in fact, be much higher than what is being reported by Statistics Canada.

CPI reports released since September 2016 suggest food prices have either dropped or have remained somewhat stable. Social media conversations suggest Canadians have barely noticed. Many have even become skeptical about what is being reported.

Back in January, Dalhousie University recorded prices of over 100 food products from several stores that may not normally be captured by the CPI. Given that we are in the middle of barbecue season,

meat products are generally higher by more than 11 per cent compared to January prices. Strip loin grilling steak, lean ground beef and pork sirloin chops and roast are all much higher.

In the fruit and vegetable section, in most stores, blueberries, lettuce, pears, and broccoli are more expensive by more than nine per cent compared to January.

Several grocer y products are also higher priced than at the beginning of the year.

However, prices seem to have softened for both dairy and fish products.

This non-scientific survey suggests food prices in grocer y stores may have increased by more than five per cent over the last five months or so, which is a sharp contrast to what is being reported.

These are obviously just approximations. The challenge is to understand why the CPI may not even be close to capturing what’s been happening in the Canadian market this year.

For food, Statistics Canada has interviewers operating out of regional offices across Canada reading data points for food products. Production selection is based on brands and varieties which sell in the greatest volume. It would

be interesting to know how St a t i s t i c s Ca n a d a k n ow s which products sell the most any given month.

Secondly, the average grocery store today carries anywhere between 30,000 and 40,000 different food products. Different brands, sizes, formats, and choices are multiplying, which makes any form of price indexing a challenge.

The paradox of choice has never been so predominant in the food business than it is now, which may skew results from Statistics Canada.

Statistics Canada does not publish the sampling design in detail, so it is difficult to tell.

It is impossible to appreciate where and how its measurements may have gone wrong. Again, this quick survey does not tell us, with any great accuracy, the rate of food inflation since the beginning of the year. But we do know that it is much more than what Statistics Canada is leading Canadians to believe.

There are exceptions, though. Prices in Alberta have not increased as much, or in Winnipeg where more stores have opened in recent months.

If the CPI has indeed largely misinterpreted food inflation so far this year, pinpoint-

ing the cause is imperative.

Assessing inflation is almost an art form. Nonetheless, Statistics Canada states that it reviews its methodology every now and then and does change its basket of food items every single year.

Perhaps what is happening is indicative that its methodology needs work, and a welcome refresh. This also speaks to how poorly we understand and appreciate the value of data and how it can influence policy. If our food inflation rate does not accurately reflect what is happening in the marketplace, with an acceptable margin of error, it just does not serve our popu-

lation well. In many parts of the country, food security is a challenge that can be handled.

In t h e e n d , Ca n a d i a n s deserve to know the real story behind food prices. Nobody is trying to mislead anyone, but food affordability is something most Canadians think about almost every day.

Second guessing what may be happening to their grocery bill is not something we should accept.

The Manitoba Co-operator | June 29, 2017

FROM PAGE ONE provincial soil Continued from page 1

Many decades have passed since he and his colleagues spent time there, digging and classifying soil samples nearby. But Poyser has extensive knowledge of the work that produced the Manitoba soil survey itself. He worked on it from the 1940s onward and has detailed recollections of criss-crossing rural Manitoba with township maps, gathering and documenting data that would ultimately become the soil survey’s extensive series of reports.

Young soil scientists working on that survey made Newdale the namesake of the clay loam which they’d identified across a wide area of western Manitoba.

“That was where the boys hit it and that’s where they decided they would name it,” he said in an interview earlier this spring at his residence in Winnipeg.

They were working under the direction of Joseph “Joe” Henry Ellis, head of the University of Manitoba’s soils department, who’d begun the provincial soil survey in 1927. The work continued through the decades, coming to a halt only between 1932 and 1934 when federal and provincial governments’ coffers dried up, then resuming in 1935 in the southwestern corner of the province where drought and soil erosion were most severe.

Information from the survey was initially made avail-

able locally in a preliminary form. Final reports and maps on southwestern and south-central Manitoba were published in the late 1950s. Poyser is widely credited with publishing some of the first reports — although he says that praise is due his mentor Professor Ellis.

Poyser can remember when the report material was still raw data.

“Joe had all this information and when I started working, one of my jobs, when land surveyors would want to know something...

I’d have to dig all this damned stuff out of his vault... and answer the letters,” he recalls.

“One day I said to Joe, ‘what we should do is get it published.’”

Poyser’s career, as a soils specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, was devoted to soil health and conservation. He was instrumental in establishing the first conservation district of Manitoba — the Whitemud Watershed Conservation District — and recently was honoured by the province when it named a protected area within WWCD’s wildlife management area the Edward A. Poyser Unit.

The Manitoba soil survey reports themselves remain an invaluable resource and foundational documents for ongoing soil science and research today.

In some parts of Manitoba these reports remain the only source of soil information ever collected, soil scientists of today note. They contain detailed

descriptions of surveyed areas’ physical features, factors affecting soil development as well as describe the potential of soil in a given region for various agricultural, engineering and urban uses.

“There’s a wealth of information in it,” said Elaine Gauer, a provincial land use specialist with Manitoba Agriculture. “It describes the general soil of the area, the texture, the limitations and challenges that farmers can face.”

It i s i n t h e R e p o r t o f Reconnaissance Soil Survey of Rossburn and Virden Map Sheet Areas (Soils Report No. 6) which covered 5,768 sq. miles and was published in April 1956, that the Newdale Association was documented.

There are many detailed and

intriguing references, including that ‘a complimentary livestock enterprise for farms on Newdale soils is not only desirable from the standpoint of suitability of the area to feed crops and utilization of wasteland...’ and how ‘prior to the development of early-maturing varieties of wheat this area was known as oat country...’

Many other soil associations, also bearing small-town names such as Miniota, Harding, Carroll, Rackham, and so forth appear in this report.

An association is a group of soils, explains Curtis Cavers, agrologist with Agriculture Canada.

“You’ve got ‘Newdales’ in the association, which is one particular soil type, but then you also have those that represent the wetlands, ones that represent hill-

tops and things like that. There’s similarities in other parts of the province but there might be slight differences in climates and vegetation,” he said.

“It’s kind of like a family of soils. There’s individuals and then there’s cousins and parents and siblings.”

Cavers is a member of the Manitoba Soil Science Society (MSSS) which in 2017 is marking its own milestone — its 60th anniversary. It’s an organization Poyser recalls the early days of back in 1957.

“No. 1, it was for communication,” he said. “We’d have the soil conservation guys talking about what they were doing, and the land assessors talking about the problems they were having and the fertility people talking about their fertilizer trials,” he said. “And then we’d have two or three students talking about something.”

Today members of the MSSS continue that conversation, sharing research with each other and strengthening their collaboration.

The proclamation of Manitoba’s official soil in 2010 was the cumulation of years of MSSS members’ efforts to have one soil named and serve as a starting point for talking about soil with all Manitobans.

A new sign on Newdale’s Main Street, plus two others along Hwy. 16, will now do that talking, and tell the story of its namesake village too. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

New report calls for new approaches to paying for infrastructure Current system is burdensome for small communities with limited resources “Right now rural communities feel they have to somehow fit themselves into a program not written for them.”

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

A

substantive overhaul in how infrastructure is funded would benefit all of Canada but particularly rural regions, according to a new report.

Infrastructure Impacts on Rural and Economic Development calls for a different more flexible approach so rural communities could match program funds to their unique needs, essentially linking spending to rural development.

The current model of conditional grants for capital projects neither meets needs nor responds to the challenges and diversity of rural communities, the document, prepared in part by the Brandon-based Rural Development Institute, says.

Ryan Gibson, a University of Guelph professor and member of the Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation and Rural Policy Learning Commons wrote the report. He presented it to the Senate Committee on National Finance in early May. Raised in rural Manitoba, and a graduate of Brandon University’s RDI, Gibson knows rural infrastructure needs well. And how they’re prioritized and paid for right now doesn’t work well in the rural context, he said.

“Right now rural communities feel they have to somehow fit themselves into a program not written for them,” he said.

The fundamental problem is dollars allocated on the basis that they generate the biggest return on investment and benefit the most people possible, he said.

That puts rural areas at several disadvantages, not only lacking the people to merit the investment.

The lack of infrastructure investment compromises the future of rural and northern communities, a new report says. PHOTO: LORRAINE STEVENSON

Often what they need is basic and essential services like clean water, he said.

“The disconnect for many rural communities is that the investment in infrastructure may not create new jobs, or create new opportunities, but create the conditions for quality of life,” he said.

“But in the current articulation of the infrastructure program it’s around economic productivity.”

The report calls for changes that would see funding approaches also help reduce what it calls the “price of distance,” or costs

related to infrastructure spread over wide geographic areas.

‘Access’ to services is a key policy issue for infrastructure, for example, air ambulance to the specialty hospital or telemedicine for a diagnosis at a distance by an expert,” the report notes as an example.

The report doesn’t specify how to create a new program, but says a more flexible approach related to budget timing, project types, funding types, and eligible recipients would be a better fit for rural areas.

“Flexible budgeting should allow for

funds to roll over multiple years, and allow money to be allocated based on construction schedules,” it also says.

Much of Canadian infrastructure such as schools, hospitals and water systems were built in the 1950s through to the 1970s. That was followed by a period of low investment from the 1980s to 1990s, the report says, noting much of that infrastructure is now nearing the end of its service life.

In the early 2000s, the federal, provincial, and territorial governments began reinvesting through various governmental transfer programs but the reinvestment is not matching the needs and the infrastructure deficit or gap is continuing to widen, the report said.

“The pronounced infrastructure deficit and gap in rural communities affects the whole of Canada,” it also says.

The report was jointly prepared between the Rural Development Institute, the Rural Policy Learning Commons, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

through GPS with a ‘flight plan’ for the field or part of the field.

The unit shuts itself off if it deviates from its programmed path or if it encounters obstacles. The operator can monitor and adjust the programming for several units operating simultaneously through a mobile device.

The unit is powered by a 160hp Cummins diesel engine, which Beaujot said is more than adequate for operating a 30-foot seeder at speeds up to six m.p.h.

The company plans to conduct field tests throughout 2017 and make the first units available to a select number of farmers in 2018.

Full commercialization will follow. It also plans to make the platform accessible to all implement manufacturers for development of DOT Ready implements.

Better and safer Beaujot has seen the trends to larger farms continue on the Prairies, which has coincided with fewer experienced operators available to do the work. He said this technology is part of the solution.

“I am convinced that if we put side by side any operator and a machine like this that is properly set up and you run them both for 17 hours, like farmers try to do at seeding time, that it will not only operate better and safer, but it will do a better job.”

The DOT autonomous field implement platform will be featured in live demonstrations at 2:45 p.m. daily at the AIM show site located 15 minutes north of Saskatoon on Highway 16.

It’s just one of many new innovations and hundreds of exhibits at this 325-acre site showcasing new developments in crop or livestock technology, equipment and agribusiness services.

Other innovations at AIM Other new innovations being launched include: • M ichelin North America’s EvoBIB tire, a ‘two in one tire’ that adapts its profile and footprint according to the farmer’s requirements. At ultra-low pressures, the contact patch increases to reduce soil compaction, while enabling the power transmission to be increased. At higher pressures, the tire transforms so that only the central continuous band grips the road, giving a smoother vibration-free ride, fuel savings and improved safety.

• Farmers Edge will showcase its FarmCommand Scouting system — an app-based tool for monitoring and addressing field conditions. It is the first mobile scouting app that’s integrated with the FarmCommand, giving growers an integrated and seamless experience. It is also launching Corn Manager and its Next-Gen FarmCommand farm management tool.

• In the livestock sector, there is Libra TMR by AgriMatics, a tablet-based livestock ration weighing and data management system. It measures the exact weight of ingredients going into a feed mixer, tracks and measures what has been fed to each pen and allows users to export data from the app through email.

• Northern Strands Co. Inc. is launching its Grain Bin Fall

“The main reason I wanted to avoid having a tractor is if you take a 500-horsepower tractor and you drive it through the field, between 20 per cent and a third of its power requirement is to move itself.”

Norbert Beaujot

Protection system, which is designed to protect a worker from a fall while inspecting or repairing a bin.

• PolyWest will introduce SafeFill, designed to prevent crosscontamination between water fill stations and the user’s tank.

• A groliquid is releasing the Flavanol Polymer Technology, which is designed to optimize a grower’s fertilizer investments by providing a product that doesn’t tie up in the soils.

Virtually all of what is applied is taken up by the plant. An added benefit of this technology is that nutrients are protected and resist the losses that can happen when applied in stressful environments.

• D irectSpray Nozzle is introducing an innovative pressure washer attachment designed to quickly reach where a normal pressure washer nozzle can’t.

You can change the nozzle from straight to 45, to 90 degrees on the fly. No tools are needed.

Jubilee Jottings — looking back at the first 60 years As they do today, farmers in 1927 reflected on how much easier life was than back in the old days In the midst of war in 1917, there was not much appetite for a 50-year celebration of Confederation, so the country was anxious to celebrate the “Jubilee” year in 1927. Former editor John Morriss prepared this look back at what we covered as those celebrations approached.

BY JOHN MORRISS

T

he Scoop Shovel, which published from 1925 until it became the Manitoba Co-operator in 1931, was an official “organ” and unabashed promoter of the wheat pool movement in Manitoba. Ed Russenholt, who later became CBC television’s first “weatherman,” was the Pool’s publicity director and also a talented cartoonist. He took advantage of Confederation’s 60-year Jubilee in 1927 to put in this plug for both national and farmer unity.

The issue also contained some “Jubilee Jottings” from pioneers looking back at the first 50 years of farming in Manitoba, and just as we do when looking back today, they reflected on how much things have changed.

We’ve posted images of all these pages on our website.

“Looking back over the years since I was born in Kildonan in 1862 the change is altogether startling,” wrote G.T. Sutherland of Clandeboye.

“In the early ’70s we used the Red River Plow, then the wooden harrow. In harvesting the grain, first came the sickle, the cradle, then the reaper which was drawn by one man while another forked off the grain to be bound into sheaves by hand.

Then came the self-raking reaper, and when the self-binder was introduced it was regarded as a wonder and a blessing.”

John Grover of Birnie wrote of the “striking contrasts” since he arrived from England in 1870 at age 20. “The crossing took 13-1/2 days in a sail-and-steam vessel of 5,000 tons as compared with the modern passage of about seven days, and vessels more than six or seven times that size,” he wrote.

He also commented on the change in land values.

“The old process, also, of filing on a homestead for $10 cash, and buying a pre-emption at $1 per acre with three years to pay, presents a distinct contrast to the land values at present varying from $25 to $50 per acre.”

Sheriff R.H. Home of Portage reflected on the “stormy scenes enacted after the birth of this province as the result of the Riel Rebellion,” and the arrival of a “body of virile men” (Northwest Mounted Police) to quell it.

He had special praise for the evolution of the grain-marketing system.

“Through the instrumentality

of our extensive railway systems, the organization of the grainmarketing system which makes it possible for the farmer to load his grain from the machine, and with the aid of the radio watch the movements of the market and keep in immediate touch with the world, he is indeed fortunate compared to those who struggled in the early days.”

The women’s perspective No first name or address was provided for Mrs. J. Munday, but she described her arrival from the U.S. by rail and vessel in 1866 and subsequent journey to farm in the Gladstone area.

“Reaching Winnipeg we stayed a few days in the emigrant sheds which were crowded with settlers, mostly like ourselves, from Ontario. We found quite a number of other settlers ready to start when we did, and it was quite a fair-size caravan which left Winnipeg on the Portage trail — now busy Portage Avenue — for the virgin lands farther west.”

She described seeing “some years after” Lord Strathcona’s herd of tame buffalo near his home in Silver Heights.

“The wild ones had all disappeared from those districts before then. I have eaten pemmican often enough, but cannot remember liking it particularly well.”

An ad from the June 1927 issue. One writer marvelled at how much easier life had become for the woman at home.

Mrs. E.M.A. George — also no first name or address provided — described her 62 years of life and the changes in home conveniences, including her mother’s first kerosene lamp in 1870.

“I think it was in 1877 that my mother bought a clothes wringer which was considered a very wonderful machine. Today when I step into a modern kitchen and see the up-to-date equipment, electric range, washing machine, iron, hot water heaters and all the little and great helps that electricity has brought to our assistance in the home, I feel like rubbing my eyes and wondering if I have come into a new world.”

Mrs. A. Tooth described her life in Canada starting in 1883, “just after the big land boom of ’82 collapsed, leaving desolation behind.”

“Then the struggle for existence commenced for many farm women, but they faced the problem patiently, with a fortitude that kept the home fires burning.”

Mrs. Tooth described how she supplemented the farm income by selling butter, eggs, lard, bacon and chickens in Winnipeg.

However, “Sometimes I think better prices and more livable conditions are somewhat deteriorating to the fibre of the present generation. Cream shipped and butter bought does not look right to me. I do not wish the young wives to work as the pioneer women worked, but there’s a medium — it should be a happy one — manufacture for use and ship the residue. Bakers’ bread is neither as healthful or as economical as homemade.”

Ca n a da 150

Manitoba’s earliest agriculture First Nations, fur traders and the Selkirk settlers all grew some of the earliest harvests in Manitoba As part of our celebration of Canada 150, the Manitoba Agricultural Museum’s Alex Campbell has written a historical review of agriculture in Manitoba.

The Manitoba Co-operator will be printing it as an ongoing serial over the next several weeks.

BY ALEX CAMPBELL Manitoba Agricultural Museum

W

hile Canada dates from 1867, the history of agriculture in Manitoba stretches much further back into history, well before the arrival of European settlers.

There is archeological evidence corn was being grown in the Lockport area in the 1300s.

When European fur traders moved into Western Canada, they saw agricultural activities carried out by First Nations groups.

In 1772 a trader noted a First Nations tobacco plantation, perhaps 500 square yards in size, in western Saskatchewan. Tobacco is a difficult crop to grow and this indicates the First Nations on the Prairies had agricultural expertise.

In the early 1800s, corn and potatoes began to be planted on a regular basis in the Netley Creek area of Manitoba by the Ottawa First Nations who had recently arrived in the area from their home area in the Upper Great Lakes area. They introduced corn production to the Ojibwa people who had also recently moved into the area from the east.

While the area under cultivation does not appear to have been extensive, it did serve as an important source of seed for the Selkirk settlers after their arrival in Manitoba in 1812. The Ottawa people in the Netley Creek area left for the Kenora area about 1812 as their fields at Netley were subject to theft, probably instigated by the fur trading companies who were very opposed to the introduction of agriculture to the area as they saw this as diverting the First Nations away from hunting and trapping. The Ottawa people resumed corn production at Kenora.

The Ojibwa people continued on agricultural production at Netley Creek and they also began to cultivate gardens in other areas of Manitoba, along the Assiniboine, the shores of Lake Manitoba and as far north as the Swan River Valley and grew corn, potatoes, turnips, squash, pumpkins and other items.

No one is quite sure what happened to First Nations agriculture between 1300 and the late 1700s, however, one possible answer is that the “Little Ice Age” period also negatively affected the Prairies, making growing corn and other crops unrewarding. Also there is thinking that the buffalo herds on

Selkirk managed to gain control of a large acreage in Rupert’s Land and began to bring settlers into the Red River area.

the Prairies increased in number in this period. In addition, the Spanish introduced horses to North America in 1519 and horses then spread to the Plains First Nations, greatly facilitating the buffalo hunt.

As well as the First Nations, the various fur trading posts on the Prairies also grew gardens plus some posts grew small acreages of wheat, barley and oats. Cattle, poultry and swine were transported to some posts to serve as the basis of breeding herds and flocks. The posts engaged in agricultural activities in order to reduce the volume of supplies to be freighted to the posts as this movement was expensive.

It is interesting to note the Selkirk settlers, while on their way to the Red River from Hudson’s Bay where they had landed, purchased a cow and bull at Oxford House.

From the First Nations and trading post’s agricultural activities grew the knowledge that the Prairies were capable of supporting agriculture.

When Lord Selkirk was looking for an area to settle Scots displaced by Scottish landlords clearing their properties to make way for sheep, one area he became interested in was the eastern Prairies. Selkirk managed to gain control of a large acreage in Rupert’s Land and began to bring settlers into the Red River area.

In addition to the settlers brought in by Selkirk, other

farmers appeared, largely people retiring from the fur trade and their offspring.

The early years were a struggle with floods, plagues of grasshoppers and mice plus a difficult climate with a short growing season. In addition there was conflict and violence with people who felt threatened by the appearance of the settlers.

The settlement was not selfsufficient pre-1830 and many settlers had to survive by hunting. Various schemes were tried to provide an economic base for the settlement such as buffalo wool and beef tallow schemes.

Collecting hair from buffalo proved erratic and the large number of beef cattle to support a tallow industry proved too difficult to maintain as the cattle needed shelter and feed for the winter beyond the capacity of the settlers to provide.

Many settlers left for the U.S. but those who stayed managed to adopt to the climate conditions and become successful farmers. Sheep and cattle were brought in to the colony along

with stallions to improve the quality of horses available as horses were being used for cultivation by the 1820s, as well as oxen.

Wheat, barley, oats and other crops were being produced. Wild hay was being cut for fodder.

However, it was largely subsistence agriculture as the market for agricultural commodities was limited in the Red River area, due to the limited population and absence of affordable transport to other markets.

Some observers of the settlement claim it was “smothering in its own fat,” as in some years production far exceeded consumption.

However, in other years, starvation stalked the community.

Drought occurred in 1863 to 1865 and returned in 1868 when even hunting and fishing failed.

Alex Campbell is executive director of the Manitoba Agricultural Museum.

His six-part series on the history of agriculture in Manitoba will run throughout the summer to celebrate Canada 150. Next week: A changing landscape.

T

he dog days of summer have arrived at auction marts in Manitoba, as just 827 cattle were sold during the week ended June 23, well down from the previous week when 1,890 animals were sold.

Prices stayed relatively firm, however, with some mild strengthening on a few of the light heifer classes.

For instance, heifers (400-500 lbs.) saw floor bids of $180 per hundredweight, which exceeded the previous week where some animals were going for as low as $193.

“Demand has stayed strong for feeder cattle,” said Brian Perrilat, senior analyst with the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s CanFax arm. “Prices held in reasonably well.”

Just 260 animals showed up on the slaughter market, with prices hanging relatively steady.

Younger cows that were suitable to be placed on pasture and bred were selling $10$15 higher than butchers. A few cow-calf pairs traded up to $2,550, according to an outlet.

Drought-like weather is also raising concerns among some ranchers in the northern U.S. Plains.

“In the northern U.S. there was some cattle movement due to drought,” said Perrilat.

“Those areas still appear to be quite dry.”

The feed situation on the Prairies could be slightly better in some areas, he added. Dry weather has made pastures spotty in a few

parts, but in general, conditions look pretty good.

Another factor that could boost the market is last week’s decision by the U.S. to suspend fresh beef imports from Brazil, following continued concerns over public health, sanitary conditions and animal health issues.

However, there could be some signs the market is preparing to weaken. The size of the U.S. beef herd is above 11 million animals for the first time since January 2013.

On top of that, the number of cattle in commercial feedlots increased by 12 per cent, to 2.1 million head. There are expectations that the overall supply will increase even further in August.

“The packers might have one of their biggest kills of the year,” said Perrilat.

Many of the big orders have already come in, he added, as companies prepare for Fourth of July festivities.

“Most of the holiday buying is probably done,” he added.

Manitoba ranchers are being reminded to get premises ID numbers sooner rather than later. In 2018, the measure becomes mandatory as part of the new National Traceability Program.

The first hay cut is well underway in several parts of Manitoba as favourable weather conditions set the stage for what could be a decent forage season.

“Generally speaking they’re (forages) all doing well,” said Pamela Iwanchysko, farm production extension specialist with the provincial government in Dauphin. “The rains were timely.”

What farmers could use now is some dry weather, she added, so they can get alfalfa into bale form.

“A lot of guys have put up alfalfa silage already,” she added.

According to the province’s latest crop report, some flowering has begun on some alfalfa fields while weevils have also been spotted in certain locations.

“I did actually see some weevils (on June 20) in the McCreary area; they’ve done some significant damage there,” said Iwanchysko. “The weevil is a definite concern.”

That’s why prompt cutting is important, she said,

as it eliminates the weevils’ food source, forcing them to move on somewhere else.

A lot of the alfalfa already suffered winterkill due to untimely frosts and low snow cover. Because of this, the hay yield potential in Manitoba is estimated to be lower than normal.

“There may have to be reseeding on newly established alfalfa fields if they haven’t already done so,” said Iwanchysko.

Aphids have also been spotted in alfalfa fields and spraying is underway, but at this point they’re not a real concern, she said.

CE Futures Canada canola contracts dropped hard during the week ended June 23, hitting some of their lowest levels in months.

The biggest losses were in the new-crop months, with improving crop weather and declines in the U.S. soy complex behind some of the selling pressure. The nearby July contract lagged to the downside, as tightening old-crop supplies provided some support and investors worked to exit the front month ahead of its expiry.

The tight old-crop supply situation means that any weather scare for the new crop could spark a rally. However, in the absence of such a catalyst, the trend appears to be pointed lower.

Statistics Canada releases updated acreage estimates on Thursday, June 29, while the U.S. Department of Agriculture will put out its own acreage numbers the following day, June 30.

Adjustments from the previous estimate are inevitable, but the extent of those adjustments could sway the nearby direction of the futures markets, especially as adverse spring weather in parts of the Prairies likely left some land unseeded.

For canola, trade estimates range from about 21 million to 22.7 million acres, with most analysts leaning toward the higher end of that range. After seeding 20.4 million acres last year, the likelihood of record-large canola area should be bearish on paper. However, yields are still very much in the air.

In the U.S., soybeans and corn were both lower on the week, as good Midwestern weather helped ease any nearby concerns for the developing crops.

Entering into the heat of summer, weather will be the key market moving factor over the next few months for the Chicago futures.

Wheat arguably saw the most excitement during the week, as the key spring wheat-

growing regions of the U.S. in North Dakota and Montana continued to miss out on any significant precipitation.

Crop ratings for U.S. spring wheat declined to only 41 per cent good to excellent, as of June 18, and were expected to have worsened over the course of the week. Minneapolis futures continued their month-long rally, hitting fresh 2-1/2-year highs in the process. Chicago and Kansas City winter wheat futures were pulled higher as well, but the advancing harvest in the southern Plains did temper the gains.

With the run-up in Minneapolis spring wheat, the Canadian wheat acreage number from Statistics Canada will be closely watched by the global wheat trade. The spring wheat futures rally likely came too late to alter Canadian seeding plans. Average guesses are calling for a downward revision in the all-wheat number from the previous report.

Trade estimates place total Canadian wheat seedings at about 21.5 million to 23.2 million acres, which would compare with the 23.2 million seeded in 2016. Of that total, durum area is forecast to be down considerably on the year, with estimates ranging from about 4.9 million to 5.1 million. Canadian farmers seeded 6.2 million acres of durum the previous year.

Prairie wheat bids rise amid concerns over U.S. wheat Conditions in U.S. spring wheat areas raise questions over quality and yield

BY DAVE SIMS CNS Canada

H

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada posted gains during the week ended June 23, as continued concerns about yields and quality in the U.S. spring wheat crop pushed the market higher.

Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were up $6-$8 per tonne across the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of deliver y points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about $272 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $289 in northern Alberta.

Quoted basis levels varied from

location to location, but generally gained $1 on average to range from about $29 to $46 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$205 to US$218 per tonne. That would put

the currency-adjusted basis levels at about US$25-$38 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 $33 to $50 below the futures.

Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were up by $1-$3 per tonne, with prices ranging from $183 to $196 per tonne.

Average durum prices held steady

with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $258-$266 per tonne.

The September spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted June 23 at US$6.6625 per bushel, up 19.25 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 September K.C. wheat contract was quoted June 23 at US$4.825 per bushel, down nine U.S. cents compared to the previous week.

The September Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled June 23 at US$4.735, down eight U.S. cents on the week.

The Canadian dollar settled June 23 at 75.37 U.S. cents, down by a fifth of a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart compared to the previous week.

National Angus breeders get a taste of Brandon Panel discussions and tours of the local area and cattle industry were on the agenda as Brandon hosted the 2017 Canadian Angus Association national convention June 8-11

BY Alexis Stockford Co-operator staff

T

he Angus breeding community descended on Brandon in June for its first annual convention in the Keystone province since 2011.

Outgoing president David Sibbald said he was excited to see so many attending the event, something that’s important because the industry needs to coordinate on a plethora of important issues including sustainability, the environment and even health-care issues.

“I think it’s very important for our members to hear from the most reputable people, experts and professors who are really tasked with helping us through this,” Sibbald said. “I’m really excited about the collaborative effort we’re seeing here from all aspects of our industry so that we drive to a single, clear message.”

Sustainability, branding and the value chain were repeat topics through the weekend. Speakers included Manitoba producer Joe Bouchard, TEAMAuctionSales. com developer Jason Danard, Fawn Jackson, founding executive director of the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, Dr. Ed Pajor, who spoke on public perceptions of the industry as it relates to animal pain and welfare, and keynote speaker James Bradbury, brand officer for Canada Beef.

Bradbury warned against “blanket” branding, arguing instead that messages should be targeted to specific segments of consumers using the specific mediums each segment is most likely to frequent.

Beef consumers, he reported, tend to be male and consumption peaks between 30-54 years of age.

Bradbury also pointed to market research that implies issues such as hormone use or environmental impact may not be the consumer driver that some retailers have come to think.

Canada Beef asked both Canadian beef industry stakeholders and consumers to rate agreement with 54 statements on the industry. The study reached 500 consumers in each of the four countries (Canada, Mexico, China and Japan) it was conducted.

Results showed 75 per cent of stakeholders agreed that, “Canadian beef is raised with unhealthy levels of hormones and antibiotics,” but only 15 per cent of surveyed Canadian consumers agreed. Internationally, the same statement received 17 per cent agreement in Mexico, 15 per cent in China and five per cent in Japan.

Likewise, 68 per cent of industry stakeholders agreed that “Canadian beef production is

harmful for the environment,” but only 12 per cent of surveyed Canadian consumers, 14 per cent of surveyed Mexican consumers, 10 per cent of surveyed Chinese consumers and three per cent of surveyed Japanese consumers agreed.

Those numbers are unlikely to stop retailers, however, who have increasingly stressed health issues and environmentalism, such as in the 2016 Earls controversy that saw the restaurant chain switch briefly to American beef.

“It wouldn’t ignore it, but we’ve got to recognize that with the funding that we have and the manpower that we have, that going up against a food-service organization on a topic, whatever topic that is, would zap a lot of those resources,” Bradbury said.

“What we’ve got to realize is that we’ve got our own strategy and our own brand to be able to get out there. We’ve got to do a better job of getting our positive messaging out there.”

Canada Beef has identified several major messages in favour of the industry: taste, patriotic loyalty, producers’ personal stories and beef as a “good time” product.

“How all that contributes to being Canadian, that’s the message that we need to forward and we can prove that 2-1/2 times more consumption can come from a message with that than it would trying to battle a particular issue,” Bradbury said.

Handing over the reins The convention marked a changing of the guard in the Canadian Angus Association as Sibbald handed his post to Brett Wildman of Alberta. Trevor Welch was named next in line as presidentelect and will take over in 2018.

The executive rotates on a three-year basis, with each member serving a year as president-elect, president and past president.

“Every good organization

builds and continues to assess through a governance model and so we’ve spent some time clarifying policy and procedure (to ensure) that we have good succession planning,” Sibbald said, adding that the system allows a smooth changeover when new board members are elected.

During his term, the association made changes to its governance model, undertook research into best farm management strategies and developed programming.

One of the most substantial changes, the Angus Cow Enrolment (ACE) program, was proposed last fall and will take effect January 2018. The program rolls association services into a single fee. Participating members will enrol all their breeding program cows, compared to the previous, per-calf system.

Wildman will preside over the continuing rollout for that program, as well as development of a three- to four-year strategic plan.

Outgoing president David Sibbald will spend the next year as past president of the association.

“We’re looking at development of a strategic plan over the next six to eight months, which is going to include our membership,” Wildman said. “We’re a member-driven organization and we’re going to gather information through town halls and surveys and one-on-one contact with our membership to see what their vision is.”

Starting in August, the association will also launch monthly evaluations to members.

“We’re real excited about this and getting closer to real-time evaluations,” association CEO Rob Smith said. “It will not matter so much when you submit your weights, because within that month you will get adjusted numbers.”

Black Angus will certainly be covered in the evaluations, while work is ongoing to include red Angus numbers as well, Smith told membership. astockford@farmmedia.com

long with the arr ival of the single-sale-amonth summer schedule June 7, came a more positive attitude towards the market between both buyers and producers.

There were 510 animals presented in the ring at the most recent sheep and goat sale at Winnipeg Livestock Auction.

The sheep sales saw more bidding from buyers and a positive trend to mark the start of the season.

There appeared to be no price difference between wool and hair ewes. The demand for the ewes ranged from religious holiday celebrations to producers taking advantage of great-quality animals in the ring to increase their herds.

Some producers had sheared their ewes to show the body development at a glance. This method appeared to spark stronger bidding and better prices.

T h e p r i c e s ra n g e d f ro m $1.11 to $1.27 per pound, for a weight range from 140 to 148 pounds. For comparison purposes, the weight range of 140to 164-pound sheared ewes saw a price range from $1.29 to $1.38 per pound.

Buyers noticed the quality of the rams and responded with strong prices. A 110-pound Suffolk-cross ram brought $242 ($2.20/lb.). That’s in comparison to much lighter rams in the 145- to 160-lb. range which brought just $1.34 to $1.40 a pound.

There was only one heavyweight lamb for this sale. A 160-pound Suffolk-cross lamb brought $198.40 ($1.24/lb.).

A group of 97-pound Dorsetcross lambs represented the market lamb classification.

These lambs brought $205.64 ($2.12/lb.).

Strong bidding was seen for the feeder lambs, mostly for local and immediate sales.

34 opment as the lambs entered the arena. The average bidding ranged from $2.16 to $2.45 per pound. Yearlings (older lambs) showed they could not compete with the younger feeder lambs. These yearling lambs brought $1.74/lb.

The lightweight lamb classification stuck with the strong bidding trend, as the demand for immediate purposes continued. The 70-plus-pound lambs brought a price range from $2.40 to $2.41/lb.

Once again, quality of even the lower-weight lambs kept the bidding. Buyers had the option for immediate sales or increasing the herd. The price ranged from $2.22 to $2.42/lb. for the 60-plus-pound lambs.

The 50-plus-pound lambs showed a great difference

$62.90 between the groups presented in the ring. Some groups of high-quality lambs maintained the strong prices but many groups could not reach this range. There was no price differences between the wool and hair lambs.

The 40-plus-pound lambs produced a higher price range from $2.08 to $2.23/ lb. The visual condition of these lambs was a great asset.

There was a price difference between the wool and hair lambs.

The 34-pound Katahdincross lamb was just too small to draw major bidding. This lamb brought $1.85/lb.

Heavier new-crop lambs still had interest from the buyers. A dozen 103-pound Suffolk-cross lambs brought $2.24/lb.

KIDS - Under 80

Turning to goats, the does showed strong bidding and prices across the board. There was strong bidding for both meat and dairy animals. The dairy goat does were Alpinecross does and La Manchacross does, and proved the demand was as strong as for the meat does.

T h e Bo e r- c ro s s d o e l i n g s from a herd dispersal were of top quality and excellent for increasing or starting a herd.

There was ver y noticeable buyer interest as soon as the

doelings entered the arena.

Prices ranged from $2.45 to $2.71/lb. — great condition and body structure goats were rewarded.

The buyers were interested in the goat bucks at this sale with many varied reasons for bidding and buying.

Once again there was high demand for goat kids. The Boer-cross doelings were of great buyer interest, and not just for the meat market. Many of these animals seemed destined for herd building.

New mentorship program looks to connect Angus breeders New Angus breeders will be given the opportunity to pick more experienced brains on industry concerns, business development and day-to-day decisions through a mentorship program

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

W

hat kind of advice can an Angus breeder in the Maritimes give to a breeder in Manitoba? If their management practices are similar enough, they might be about to find out.

Pa r t i c i p a t i n g l o n g - t e r m breeders will be paired off with industry newcomers this summer after the Canadian Angus Association launched its national mentorship program June 10.

“This isn’t one where perhaps you qualify, perhaps you don’t,” association CEO Rob Smith said. “It isn’t one that has a fee associated with it.

It is as simple as, if you want someone to help provide you with management expertise, spiritual guidance, the way forward to help you become one of those greatest Angus and seedstock producers in the country, we will help to put you with someone who can help you take those initial steps and maybe even those further steps.”

The association has said the program will support breeders during their critical first five years, increase social ties within the membership and provide member resources to support long-term health of the industry.

Nathan Marin, CAA newgeneration breeder development director, says operational matches will be priori-

“It’s basically just a resource for young breeders to go down the road that they want to go down. If there’s maybe somebody who’s a little more interested in, say, grass-fed cattle, low-energy-type cattle, we’ll try and match them up with somebody who’s running the same program.”

Nathan Marin CAA new-generation breeder development director

tized over distance between farms, although the association hopes farm visits will be possible.

“It’s basically just a resource f o r y o u n g b re e d e r s t o g o down the road that they want to go down,” Marin said. “If t h e r e’s m a y b e s o m e b o d y w h o’s a l i t t l e m o re i n t e rested in, say, grass-fed cattle, low-energy-type cattle, we’ll try and match them up with s o m e b o d y w h o’s r u n n i n g the same program. If there’s somebody maybe a little more focused on the show side of things, who is interested in showing cattle, going down that road, (we’ll) just be trying to hook them up with somebody who’s maybe a little more skilled or a little more focused, themselves, in that part of the industry.”

The program will include professional development workshops and resources for up-and-coming breeders.

Mentors will also be given guidance on what knowledge and experience might be helpful to pass on, the association has said.

Participation is currently limited to association members, although Smith has said he hopes to eventually open it to commercial producers.

“We recognize the, not only responsibility, but the obligation that Canadian Angus has to play in our national herd and in support of our national cattlemen,” he said.

A 2016 study by Canfax on behalf of the association estimates that between 64 and 67 per cent of Canada’s cow herd is at least half Angus.

Manitoba ties The mentorship program has its roots in 2011, when then Manitoba CAA director Lois McRae pointed to a programming gap between junior and senior breeders. A bridge for producers 20 to 40 years old would be beneficial, she argued.

“People are in school or they’re really beginning their careers. They’re beginning their families and their lives are, perhaps, more complex than they are at any other time of their lives,” Smith said.

McRae’s idea percolated over the next years and, in 2016, the association decided enough resources were in place to develop the concept.

The program began taking definite form after an October 2016 workshop, which invited breeders in the target demographic to share feedback and priorities.

“I’m just super excited and I think it will really help encourage those new members or new breeders who are kind of unsure what next steps to take or who to talk to,” Carmen Koning, CAA member value team leader, said. “We’ll help to be able to facilitate and foster those relationships and give them that avenue to ask those questions and get that advice and gain that kind of education for the success of their operations.”

Industry growth The focus on mentorship has, at least partly, been driven by a sudden increase in member­­ship.

The jump ends a five-year declining trend. From 2010 to

2015, membership fell from 2,634 to 2,225, recovering to 2,346 in 2016.

The association also hit a six-year record in registered cattle in 2016. About 62,400 calves were registered last year, up from 55,400 in 2010.

Transfers fell to 21,200 in 2016 from 21,700 the year before.

Smith noted, however, that bull transfers had remained largely the same, and attributed the drop to members keeping their registered females. This has fed into herd increases, he said.

The association plans to pursue a brief needs assessment with each of its new members over the next year and will include information on the mentorship program.

The program is still in its first stages, Marin said, although CAA members have expressed some interest.

“It happens right now,” he said. “There are young people who go to older breeders right now and get advice from them all the time. I’ve got lots of friends in the industry my age who have been doing that with older, successful, breeders forever. There’s maybe just some younger folks who are new to this industry who, maybe, don’t have access to those people.”

The program launch was part of the 2017 Canadian Angus Association national convention in Brandon June 8-11. astockford@farmmedia.com

WEATHER VANE â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.â&#x20AC;? Mark Twain, 1897

Summer looks to move back in Issued: Monday, June 26, 2017 ¡ Covering: June 28 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 5, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

W

ell, once again our weather was hijacked by not one, but two upper lows. The first one brought the cool and cloudy conditions late last week. That low then pulled off to the east as expected, but another upper low was captured in the northwest flow behind the first upper low and we saw a continuation of very cool and unsettled conditions right through the weekend.

For this forecast period it does look like summer will be making a comeback; it just looks like it will take until July for that to happen. This forecast period will begin with another area of low pressure slowly moving through our region starting Wednesday.

Most regions will likely see showers and thundershowers sometime Wednesday and into Wednesday night before the main energy pushes off to the east. A second weaker low will follow behind the main low, giving us a mix of sun and clouds on Thursday and Friday along with the odd shower.

Temperatures donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look as if they will be as cool, with daytime highs expected to be right around 20 C. High pressure is then forecast to build in over the weekend and into the first half of next week.

Under this high we should see mainly sunny skies along with warming temperatures. Daytime highs will start off in the low 20s on Saturday and warm up a couple of degrees each day, with highs expected to be in the upper 20s by next Tuesday or Wednesday. Overnight lows should be in the 11 to 15 C range.

Looking a little further ahead, the weather models show a couple of fast-moving systems during the second half of next week.

They should bring typical summer-like weather, with short periods of clouds along with a few quick showers before sunny skies move back in. Temperatures look # to remain warm.

Usual temperature range # for this period: Highs, 21 to 30 C; lows, 9 to 16 C.

Thunderstorms, wall clouds and tornadoes Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading into whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peak month for severe storms

BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

W

eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue learning about thunderstorms in this issue by taking a look at a few spectacular images of thunderstorms that I have on file. I believe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used these images before, but that was at least five or six years ago. While the cool weather we have seen across the Prairies over the middle part of June might have put a bit of damper on thunderstorm activity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the really severe stuff, at least â&#x20AC;&#x201D; July is usually our peak month for severe storms. Most of us have seen severe thunderstorms and probably have some great tales and possibly images of storms. For me, it seems I often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a camera or phone with me when I see these types of storms. Sometimes I get so caught up in the storm that I forget to try and take pictures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or, when I do have a camera and remember to take pictures, they often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out that great or do the storm justice.

In Photo 1 we see a classic textbook example of an approaching thunderstorm. This is a super cell thunderstorm. You can see the central area of convection with the nice smooth band of cloud in the middle of the picture. The low clouds pushing out in front of the storm are a result of the outflow of air from the storm. This out-

flow of air helps to lift the warm air surrounding the storm as it is being pulled in. You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be nervous seeing this storm coming.

In Photo 2 we see another perfect textbook example, but this time it is of a wall cloud. You can easily see how it gets its name.

A large portion of the thunder-

storm has lowered significantly compared to the rest of the storm. The little tails of clouds on each side of the wall cloud are again showing the rapid inflow

of air into the storm. This whole cloud formation will often be rotating and it is from this feature that you expect to see a tornado form.

While the tornado in Photo 3 has yet to become fully visible from the parent cloud to the ground, you can already see the effects of the tornado on the ground. The swirling at ground level indicates the funnel cloud has now extended to the ground and become a tornado. As with a large majority of tornados, they often form outside of the main rain area of the thunderstorm.

Photo 4 is a beautiful example of a green thunderstorm.

Personally, this is the type of severe thunderstorm I have probably seen the most. Reading up on why we occasionally see green thunderstorms, I have still not come across any definitive reason for the green colour. The latest research using spectrophotometers to measure the intensity and colour of light coming from green thunderstorms has shown it is not simply the reflection of green vegetation, but is more likely the effect of sunlight being scattered and refracted by large amounts of water and ice within the storm. With green thunderstorms one thing is almost always a sure bet: youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get torrential rains and/or severe hail. So, if you see a green storm coming, take cover!

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

Fairly average year for cutworms, flea beetles C

utworms and flea beetles continue to affect some canola fields in the province, but experts say that while cutworm damage may be marginally lower this year than last, beetle damage may have scuttled ahead of previous years.

Still, the margins are slim at best.

“I think every year is a flea beetle and cutworm year,” said Justine Cornelsen, the Canola Council of Canada’s agronomy specialist in western Manitoba. “It’s a tough thing to judge. Last year it seemed conditions were just a little nicer for the crop, it got up and out of the ground quick and we had moisture throughout, so that crop really advanced quickly.”

With dry conditions in much of the province early this spring, Cornelsen said canola was slow to emerge and slow to reach the fourth-leaf stage — the point at which canola can resist flea beetle and cutworm damage.

“It comes and goes, for some producers this may be the worst year that they’ve dealt with them and for other producers it wasn’t an issue at all,” said the agronomist. “But generally speaking for Manitoba, it seemed like there was a little more concern with flea beetles this year compared to last year.”

Scouting continues to be important for producers with concerns about flea beetles. Cornelsen said flea beetle damage appears as tiny holes across the cotyledons and any other leaves that have developed.

“They are very splotchy and patchy, but the feeding damage can be bad,” she said. “They will be able to take half a cotyledon or take out larger pieces.”

In most cases, however, damage is limited to little divots throughout the plant.

Seed treatments do target flea beetles, but only remain effective

for about three weeks. That means a slow emergence leaves canola vulnerable at early growth stages, Cornelsen said.

As for cutworms, anecdotal evidence suggests that damage is down this season.

“Last year there were lots of cases of cutworm damage, especially up in the Swan River area, still the odd case this year, but not as many as last year, just from what I can recall,” Cornelsen said.

“But it’s something else we can’t predict, we’re not sure how bad they are going to be or the numbers for them, so we don’t have a really good way of monitoring it efficiently.”

John Gavloski, an entomologist with Manitoba Agriculture, agrees cutworm problems can be sporadic, making them difficult to predict or track.

“It’s not like every field has them,” he said. “There might be a field or two that has them, and then a lot of fields that don’t.”

That said, the entomologist added there are “hot spots” in the province where cutworms are wreaking havoc.

“We’ve had a few bad cutworm years recently — and cutworms go in cycles where populations build up and then parasitoids and things catch up to them and levels go down — so I would say we

are still in a cycle of higher levels, but I don’t know if this year was quite as bad as last year,” he said.

“I know there are still people who are having issues and have had to spray, so we’re still into some higher populations overall, but I can’t say it was any worse than the last couple of years.”

Manitoba producers primarily deal with two species of cutworm, redbacked and dingy. Luckily their destructive phase is beginning to come to an end as they move into the pupae stage, but there are still enough larvae in some areas to do damage, Gavloski said.

“The main message I’d want to get out is that we are starting to see them turn to pupae, so that is something you want to consider,” he said. “Generally what we recommend is that if most of the cutworms in the field are greater than one inch, they will be pupating soon, and by the time you put a spray on it’s usually not worth while to try to control them.”

Cornelsen said that producers have to weigh the costs of applying foliar insecticides against potential yield loss before making the decision to treat an affected field. However, a higher seeding rate on Day 1 can help maintain yields in the face of insect predation.

“That’s why producers with canola want to aim for a little bit high plant stand, so they can lose a few plants to frost, to seedling diseases to flea beetles and other insect pests throughout the season,” she said. “If they were seeding at a very low rate and then started losing plants, then they are no longer going to be able to reach that 100 per cent of their yield potential, so that can have a huge effect come harvest time.”

Other than that, the best defence is having boots in the field.

“Get out there and see what is going on,” Cornelsen said. “These pests can happen and they can happen very quickly.”

As with all crop protection products, read and follow label instructions carefully.

IDC suspected cause of a lot of yellow soybeans this year Iron deficiency chlorosis can be mitigated by assessing a field’s risk and then selecting the appropriate variety, says Manitoba Agriculture’s Terry Buss

ennis Lange has had lots of calls recently from all parts of agro-Manitoba, about yellow soybeans, which in many cases was likely iron deficiency chlorosis.

“With the cool weather last week, and some areas have had a bit more moisture, many fields have been yellowing and we’re seeing those IDC symptoms,” Lange, Manitoba Agriculture’s pulse crop specialist, said in an interview June 21.

The bad news is farmers can’t do much now, but the good news is IDC can be mitigated with variety selection in future years.

“The first thing we can do is look at matching our fields (based on the IDC risk) to our (soybean) varieties,” Terr y Buss, Manitoba Agriculture’s Beausejour-based farm production specialist for pulse crops, said during CropTalk Westman’s June 21 webinar.

IDC occurs most years in Manitoba, but its severity can be affected by the weather, residual nitrates in the soil and the stress soybeans are under. Stresses include cool, wet weather, herbicide applications and crusted soil.

“In years when we have a lot of IDC it comes in early, it is intense and it lasts a long time and catches us really unprepared,” Buss said. “Yes, there are things we can do to help ourselves prepare for IDC years. But every year is different in terms of how intense IDC is.”

Some years soybean crops will quickly grow out of the problem, but when IDC is severe and present at the fifth to sixth trifoliate, American research has found it can significantly reduce yields, he said.

There are two main contributors to IDC — carbonate and soluble salts levels in the soil, Buss said. But another critical factor is variety. Soybeans are rated as IDC tolerant, semitolerant and susceptible, he said.

Hi g h - r i s k f i e l d s f o r I D C have carbonate and salt levels of more than five per cent and one millimho (a unit of electrical conductance) per centimetre, respectively. (Lowrisk fields have carbonate and salt levels of less than one per cent and 0.3 millimho per centimetre, respectively.) (See IDC risk table.)

In high-r isk fields far mers should select tolerant or semi-tolerant soybean varieties, Buss said. Seed Manitoba rates soybean varieties for IDC tolerance.

IDC can also show up where either just carbonate or salt levels are high, especially if the crop is under stress, he said. And some years, under ideal conditions, IDC symptoms might not show up, but farmers shouldn’t be lulled into complacency.

It’s also important to diagnose IDC. Yellow soybeans can also result from a lack of nitrogen. IDC symptoms begin with yellow leaves but t h e n l e a f v e i n s t u r n d a rk green, Buss said. That’s the classic symptom.

“We just can’t diagnose this one from the road,” he said.

“Patience and close observation are the key.”

Once IDC is identified Buss suggests farmers don’t look at the field every day.

“The plants do grow and as the plant gets bigger it overcomes this challenge of iron absorption and taking up iron from the soil and we start to see better plant health,” Buss said. “That is generally the scenario.”

The chemistry IDC symptoms often show up during the first trifoliate, when the plant is trying to get iron from the soil instead of the seed, Buss said. The plant does this by acidifying the rhizosphere (root area).

The plant lowers the soil pH significantly, using an ironreducing protein the plant secretes, along with acidify-

ing agents, which let the root oxidize iron into soluble ferrous iron that the plant can take up.

“When we have high carbonate levels in the soil, and the soil is getting wetter, that carbonate gets changed into bicarbonate and the bicarbonate reduces the acidity, raising the pH of the rhizosphere.

Then that iron-reducing protein can’t do its job,” Buss said.

High soil salinity makes IDC worse, but the reasons aren’t we l l u n d e r s t o o d , h e s a i d .

Salinity is associated with wet soils, which aren’t good for crop production. Soybeans aren’t saline tolerant either.

Experts used to link IDC with high soil pH, which is often associated with high levels of carbonate and salts, but IDC is also present in fields with low pH.

Other remedies American researchers have found foliar applications don’t cure IDC, although in some cases they alleviate the symptoms, Buss said.

“I would encourage producers, if they are approached about a foliar product, that t h e y re a l l y a s k q u e s t i o n s around replication and statistically analyzed research — in a climatic zone that is similar to theirs — that actually shows them that there is a real, statistically significant yield increase,” he added.

Heads-up on fusarium head blight Early flowering is the time to apply a prophylactic fungicide on wheat but first assess the field’s disease risk

BY ALLAN DAWSON

“If you spray at the time of main stem flower the tillers won’t be that much behind.”

t’s time to turn a weather eye on cereal crops for fusarium infections.

Fusarium head blight damaged a lot of Manitoba spring wheat last year and farmers should be assessing this year’s risk from the fungal disease that can cut wheat quality and yield.

Since wheat is most susceptible to fusarium infection at flowering, early flowering is the ideal time to apply a fungicide to help protect wheat a g a i n s t t h e d i s e a s e, A n n e Kirk, Manitoba Agriculture’s new cereal specialist, said in an interview June 23.

While there’s lots of fusarium inoculum around to potentially infect wheat crops in Manitoba, wheat has to be at the right stage to be infected.

The r isk var ies with the weather, Kirk said. Fusarium needs moist, warm (ideally 25 to 30 C) conditions to get established.

Last week most of Manitoba was moist and cool, resulting in a low to moderate risk.

The Manitoba government issues maps daily, rating the fusarium risk based on moisture and temperature conditions (http://tinyurl.com/ y8mkbbnx).

Deciding the right time to apply a fungicide can be tricky, especially if crop staging is uneven, Kirk said.

“Try to get an average,” she said. “Also take into account the moisture conditions. If your wheat is starting to head out but the next few days are going to be fairly dry then maybe take a step back and wait a couple of days until more of it is in flower instead of going too early if it is pretty stagey. Farmers should look at the main stem instead of the tillers.

“If you spray at the time of main stem flower the tillers won’t be that much behind.”

Under good growing conditions wheat flowers three days after heading, she added.

Winds or other things can delay spraying, but there can still be benefits from a later application, U.S. research shows, Kirk said.

Un f o r t u n a t e l y, s p r a y i n g before the wheat has headed d o e s n’t p r o t e c t t h e c r o p against fusarium.

Kirk said last week she had calls from farmers asking if applying a fungicide at the flag-leaf stage to protect wheat against leaf diseases would also stop fusarium. It won’t.

“Its (fungicide) is not going to be sticking around in the plant to protect when the head comes out,” she said.

“So for fusarium you really want to target flowering.”

Other ways to combat fusarium include variety selection — see Seed Manitoba for disease-resistance ratings — and taking steps to encourage even crop development including a higher seeding rate.

Manitoba’s wheat crop varies in maturity. Some earlyseeded fields have headed and flowered.

Kirk said she hasn’t had many reports of wheat leaf diseases.

“From my travels in the southwest part of the prov-

ince I haven’t seen anything yet,” she said.

“I think it is because it was dry for quite a while throughout most of the province until

last week. There hasn’t been a good chance to get things going.”

Kirk started as cereal specialist May 28, taking over

from Pam de Rocquigny, who left in February to be general manager for the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association and Manitoba Corn Growers Association.

Kirk was Manitoba Agr i­ culture’s pesticide minor use a n d re g u l a t o r y s p e c i a l i s t .

Before that she worked on the University of Manitoba’s participatory plant-breeding project. allan@fbcpublishing.com

CROP REPORT

Cool weather delays field operations Manitoba Agriculture crop report: Issued June 26, 2017 Southwest Region Cooler-than-normal temperatures with overnight lows in the single digits has been putting stress on crop and hay land.

Rainfall amounts ranged from three to 20 mm. The Oakburn area, which already had saturated soils, received 20 mm of rain and a severe hailstorm.

Wind and rain made it difficult for spraying to continue.

First application of herbicides is mostly completed and some soybeans are about to receive their second application.

Winter wheat and fall rye fields have finished flowering, most received a fungicide application.

Early-seeded cereals are advancing to the flag-leaf stage, and some fungicide applications have occurred.

Later-seeded cereals are tillering.

Early-seeded canola is starting to bolt with the majority of the crop having cabbaged out and covering the ground.

Sunflowers and corn continue to advance but cool, damp weather has slowed down growth. Soybeans are in the first- to third-trifoliate stage and cool weather has also slowed their growth. There have been several reports of iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) in soybeans and the cool, wet weather has made symptoms more severe. Warm weather will help to alleviate symptoms.

Field peas are progressing well, but are yellowing in low spots due to excess moisture.

Cool and wet conditions have slowed growth of pasture

and hay land. Some producers have started to cut alfalfa and first-cut yields look to be below average.

Northwest Region Showers throughout the week brought 13 to 20 mm of precipitation in Swan Valley and 25 mm in The Pas. Wet and cool weather throughout the week gave little opportunity for spraying.

Crops continue to advance, with the exception of The Pas, where prolonged excess moisture remains the main issue.

Soil moisture conditions are excessive with water at the soil surface and less than 10 per cent of the crop is seeded.

Producers who carr y crop insurance have submitted excess moisture claims. There are a few unseeded fields in the Laurier/McCreary area.

Canola ranges from 25 per cent at the seedling stage, 70 per cent at rosette, and a small amount of the earliest-seeded fields are starting to bolt.

Wheat is at 90 per cent seedling/tillering with 10 per cent of later-seeded crops at emergence. Soybean, pea and fababean crops are in the vegetative stage. Crops in the Laurier/ McCreary and eastern portion of the Swan Valley are starting to show signs of excess moisture stress. Many crops are also in need of heat. Diamondback moth and bertha army worm moth counts remain low in the northwest region and are of no concern at this point.

With the exception of a few fields, haying for beef operations has not started. Grasses

have been headed out for awhile and alfalfa fields are just coming into bloom. There have been reports of alfalfa weevil in the Ste. Amelie/McCreary area.

Corn silage fields would benefit from heat particularly after the weekend’s low nighttime temperatures.

For the most part, pastures are in good condition across the region apart from The Pas.

Central Region Cooler temperatures, with overnight lows in single digits, along with cloudy conditions and showers continue to hamper field activity. Rainfall amounts ranged from five to 20 mm for much of the region.

Some crops in areas with higher soil moisture are showing signs of excess moisture stress. Precipitation for the season is generally lower than normal; crops are affected by the residual moisture from wet conditions of the previous year. Some reseeding was done in the Crystal City area, as a result of an earlier hailstorm. The subsequent poor surface residue conditions left fields at risk to high winds last week, shearing off newly emerged seedlings. Drift soil has filled ditches. Growers affected by those extreme conditions are at a loss as how to proceed; attempts will be made to establish some crop growth to protect fields from further soil losses.

The majority of cereals are growing well. Most wheat fields are in early-flag to late-boot stage and the most advanced fields are heading out. Barley

and wheat are being staged for fusarium head blight fungicide timing. Some fungicide applications at flag-leaf timing have taken place; disease pressure has been low due to the earlier dry conditions. Oats are in the flag-leaf to early-panicle emergence.

Canola fields range from four leaf to early flower, although some canola was reseeded last week. Fields are being staged for sclerotinia fungicide timing. Many fields, particularly the earliest-seeded canola, are stagey due to uneven emergence. Some fields have yell owe d / p u r p l i n g a re a s d u e to high soil moisture levels.

War mer temperatures and good growing conditions will allow plants to recover from stress.

Corn is in the V3 to V8 stage.

Some fields look spindly, with narrow leaves and poor colour, and would benefit from warmer temperatures. Second herbicide applications continue. Top dressing of nitrogen is being done in some fields.

Sunflowers are in the V4 to V10 stage; flax ranges from 15 to 30 cm tall; peas are starting to flower. Iron deficiency chlorosis is showing up in flax.

Most soybeans range from first to fourth trifoliate. The majority of fields have had firstpass herbicide applications; second applications continue.

Growers are reminded that the window for herbicides will soon close, as flowering will begin shortly. Yellowing is evident in many fields, although some recovery is noticeable.

Fall-seeded crops in western areas with good winter survival are growing well; fall rye and winter wheat continue to flower, with the most advanced into the milk stage.

We e d g r ow t h h a d b e e n somewhat limited by lack of rainfall, but recent rains will bring on new flushes.

Forage growth in pasture and hayfields has improved due to the recent rains.

Cool and rainy weather prevailed again for most of the week, with precipitation amounts ranging from six to 25 mm. There is not much water on the surface or signs of moisture stress except in low-lying areas. Crop and weed development, particularly for warmseasoned species, has slowed considerably.

The first herbicide pass is wrapping up; the second pass is at about 15 per cent complete. Spraying progress was held up by wet and windy weather. There have been some concerns expressed about the speed of herbicide effectiveness for fields sprayed during cool conditions. Some producers are noting volunteer canola escapes after first herbicide applications in soybeans and adjusting product choices in preparation for second pass.

Early-seeded wheat is starting to head out with the remainder in the stem-elongation/flag-leaf stage. Some fungicides have been applied at flag leaf, while some producers have decided not to

spray due to the risk of making ruts and a limited return on investment. Early-seeded canola is in early flower and approaching fungicide spray stage by the weekend. Laterseeded canola is in the bolting stage. Canola has been noted to be in good to excellent condition. The pace of soybean development slowed last week due to the cool temperatures.

Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) has appeared in soybeans over the past 10 to 14 days, with rapid onset across large areas of fields. At this time soybeans are also under stress from herbicide applications and the initiation of nitrogen fixation which makes IDC symptoms worse.

Industry reports have been received of corn leaves showing symptoms of nutrient deficiency. The symptoms can most often be attributed to the cool, wet weather and slow development. Corn in rotation after summerfallow or canola is displaying the most symptoms.

With last week’s rain producers had a hard time putting up hay. Some producers were going to start this week rain or shine.

Interlake Region The Interlake received eight to 29 mm of rain this past week in scattered showers. Topsoil moisture levels in the region a re a d e q u a t e t o e xc e l l e n t resulting in some very lush crops with canopies closing in.

In the south Interlake some early-seeded canola is bolting and at 10 to 30 per cent bloom.

Barley and spring wheat are starting to head out and fungicide applications are starting on these crops as well.

Early pea fields are starting to bloom. Cooler temperatures have slowed war m-season crop growth, and the temperatures combined with wet conditions have made IDC more p ro n o u n c e d o n s oy b e a n s.

Second herbicide application is occurring on soybeans.

Insect pressure has been relatively light in annual crops so far.

In the north Interlake herbicide spraying of crops is about 90 per cent done. Winter cereals are headed out and have had fungicide applications.

Canola is still in the vegetative stage and enjoying the intermittent rains. Most soybeans affected by IDC are in the second- to early-third trifoliate. Warm, sunny weather will allow the crop to start growing at a more rapid rate, and green up; additional nitrogen is not recommended.

Warm temperatures and variable rains this past week have encouraged hay and pasture development and growth of forages. Alfalfa is in the lateve g e t a t i ve t o e a r l y- b l o o m stage. Alfalfa weevil larvae and aphids feeding on hay stands have caused delaying of flowering and yield and quality losses. Some alfalfa hayfields and most alfalfa seed fields have been sprayed for insects.

Pastures are rated in fair to good condition and are supplying adequate feed for this time of year.

Peony for your thoughts?

Food-for-art exchange aims to change how people think about food and poetry

By Shannon VanRaes Co-operator staff

A

riel Gordon has a proposal for you.

The Winnipeg-based poet and urban edibles aficionado is offering to write an original poem in exchange for food as part of her Poetry Barter Project, which is in its second season.

Last summer she bartered for dandelions, lilacs, rhubarb, nasturtiums, hyssop, deer sausage, grape leaves, zucchini flowers, cherries, apples, and pickerel, but has expanded to fiddleheads, spruce bud tips, nettles, burdock, caragana, chicken-of-the-wood and anything else edible that can be grown or foraged this year.

There have also been some outliers — like the painted lady butterfly caterpillars.

“I wasn’t going to eat them, I wanted to rear then,” Gordon said with a laugh. “So you know there were a few things that were offered that were sort of alternate.”

So far, the project hasn’t focused on more traditional food items, but the poet said she is open to “anything that could be food.”

“My goal is to be in a deeper relationship with people more generally, but also to talk about food,” Gordon said. “Often, say 90 per cent of the time, I would come to the person’s yard to give them the poem and pick up whatever, and they’d be like, ‘I didn’t know you could eat this, what recipe do you use?’

And this is something they’ve had on their property for however long that they’ve lived there.”

Gordon has also expanded her own cooking experiences through the barter project, adding recipes like dandelion marmalade to her repertoire.

“We’ve had a lot of trouble ideologically with dandelions in Winnipeg. People say, ‘oh, they are taking over and we’re not supposed to spray anymore, there’s been a commercial pesticide ban,’ but dandelions apparently are more nutritionally dense than most things we grow on purpose,” said Gordon.

“We’ve got these containers, you know, this is wild and this is tame, this is a pest, this is a weed and this is something we eat, and you know, sometimes I don’t think all of those barriers are very helpful.”

How people experience food is also of great interest to the writer, who has invited some barter participants into her own kitchen to share both knowledge and recipes.

“I had a woman who was of Lebanese background and her parents... grew grapevines, but not for the grapes, for the leaves. So she went to her dad’s

place, picked grape leaves, then came over and showed me her recipe for stuffed grape leaves, so that was pretty cool,” said Gordon. “So there are lots of times where I say, ‘yeah, we’re going to trade, but you’re going to show me how to do this thing if there is something you know and I don’t.’”

She said many people have edible plants in their yards, apple trees even, that they don’t consider to be food because the produce doesn’t look like what they find in the grocery store.

“So I thought, what would happen if I offer to trade poetry, which has low cultural value and essentially low economic value for urban food, which again has low economic value,” she said.

“So trading something that is not worth very much for some-

thing that people also think is not worth very much.”

Julie Kentner took Gordon up on her offer, trading nasturtiums for an original poem.

“She takes her time, she carefully places each word and she is a thoughtful poet. She wants to kind of capture something about the gift that you gave her and puts a lot of effort and time into it and I think that is what makes this barter special, because you’re giving of your produce, but she is giving of her time,” said Kentner.

“And I think that’s just a really creative way to get people thinking about the food we eat.”

Gordon asks all participants for five words they want included in the poem, and does extra research if necessary. In Kentner’s case that meant polling her Facebook friends about what

“My theory is that everybody needs a poem written for them.”

she would save from her home in case of a fire.

“My goal with a lot of this stuff is partly educational, but it has to be art too, it has to be interesting,” Gordon said. “I think literature in many ways is our way as humans of talking about the issues of the day, our way of talking about how we behave in the world.”

Gordon’s first book of poetry, Hump, won the Lansdowne Prize for Poetry, as did her second collection, Stowaways. She says her next book could very well be a collection of barter poems, although she is also working on creative non-fiction about Winnipeg’s urban forest.

“My theory is that everybody needs a poem written for them, and normally you have to date a poet to get a poem written for you, right?” said Gordon.

“This way I’m writing poems for people and they get to be a part of it.”

Prairie fare More burgers more often Summertime is burger time and the variety can be almost endless

BY GETTY STEWART Co-operator contributor

W

hen the days are long and the sun shines bright, burgers with fresh seasonal veggies and endless salads are the way to go. And with so many variations available, it’s easy to enjoy a different burger every week.

But, if your family is like mine, they may be hesitant to try new burger recipes for fear that you’re trying to replace their favourite burger forever. One way I got my family to try new variations was to promise that I wasn’t replacing their favourite burger, just looking for more burgers to enjoy. More burgers, more often? Now that was an idea they were willing to explore.

When introducing new variations, start small by simply adding a few extra toppings to the usual assortment. To come up with ideas, think of a cultural theme that can also help with planning side dishes. For example, a Mexican-inspired burger can be topped with salsa, avocado slices and hot sauce and served with a colourful quinoa salad.

To really shake things up, try making a different style of patty and serving it on something other

than a traditional hamburger bun. For example, a black bean or chicken patty served with tzatziki, tomatoes and lettuce in a pita.

Your family may not even recognize it as a burger, but that’s OK because they’re going to love it.

To help you enjoy more burgers more often this summer here are a few more ideas and recipes to try.

The patty While many of us grew up with beef or beef and pork patties, these aren’t the only options.

Add to your repertoire and try patties made with chicken, turkey, chickpeas, bison, tuna, crab, lamb, mushrooms, lentils, eggplant, quinoa, beans or some awesome combination of these.

The bun/bread The bun or bread surrounding the patty is very important. It has to be the right size and texture to suit the patty. While the soft, squishable bun works for many classic meat burgers, don’t be afraid to try something different. Consider pita bread, English muffins, ciabatta bread, toasted garlic bread, sourdough bread, bannock or even non-bread options such as grilled portabello mushrooms, cabbage or lettuce leaves to surround your patties.

Basic chicken burgers 1-1/2 lbs. ground chicken 1/2 c. bread crumbs 1 egg, beaten 2 tbsp. ketchup 2 tbsp. dried parsley (1/3 c. minced fresh) 1 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Combine all ingredients thoroughly. Shape into six patties. With the back of a teaspoon, make a dent in the centre of each burger. This helps the centre of the burgers cook faster.

Preheat barbecue on medium heat. Grill burgers with the barbecue lid down, until a meat thermometer inserted into the burgers reads 175 F (about 9 minutes per side). Serve on whole wheat buns topped with your favourite burger toppings. Coleslaw made with red and green cabbage goes very well with these burgers. Makes: 6 patties.

The toppings The toppings make burgers an ideal food for families where everyone has slightly different taste preferences. Offer traditional toppings for conservative eaters and spicy or unique toppings for adventurous eaters eager to try something different.

ose Jackson looked up from her section of the newspaper and turned her head to peer out of the kitchen window.

“Well, what do you know,” she said. “It’s the longest day of the year. Already.”

Andrew looked up from the sports section and followed his wife’s gaze.

“Winter is coming,” he said.

“No no no,” said Rose. “You are not allowed to say that. Not in June. Even if it’s true. And especially not if summer hasn’t yet begun. Which it clearly hasn’t.”

“I stand corrected,” said Andrew. “Summer is coming. Possibly.”

Rose heaved a sigh. “Well, it’s not the worst we’ve seen. Remember 2004? The temperature never went higher than 20° until July 18. Or 19 or whatever. We wore parkas to the Folk Festival.”

“And we were still too cold,” said Andrew.

“I remember it well.” He paused. “August and September were hot though,” he recalled. “And this year we’ve already had a day where it went to 33°, so let’s not forget that.”

“I guess you’re right,” Rose had to agree. “In the annual competition for worst summer ever, this year can’t come in better than second place. I guess that’s something.”

“There’s a silver lining behind every cloud,” said Andrew. “Although it’s hard to see that silver lining when the cloud extends from Churchill, Manitoba to Boulder, Colorado.”

“I wonder if it was a year like this that inspired what’s-his-name to write that ‘Unclouded Day’ song,” said Rose.

“Probably,” said Andrew. “Although I’m not sure that song was written by what’s-his-name. I think it might have been that other guy, who’s-it.”

“You’re probably right,” said Rose. “Or possibly someone else. Whoever it was, you have to admire their obvious talent for wishful thinking.”

“Maybe this is the year we have to go south in the summer,” said Andrew, “just to get a break from the cold.”

Rose pondered that for a moment. “I don’t know about that,” she said. “How far would we go? It was

117° in Phoenix this week. A hundred and seventeen degrees is not a break from anything. It’s more like a punishment.”

Andrew looked thoughtful. “Let’s think about that for a second,” he said. “So, if it’s 17° in Winkler and it’s 47° in Phoenix, and a comfortable temperature would be, say, 23°, and 23° is one-fifth of the way between 17 and 47, so logically if we go one-fifth of the way to Phoenix, we should be somewhere where the temperature is 23°.” He paused. “So what’s onefifth of the way between Winkler and Phoenix?”

Rose shrugged. “I don’t know. Gretna?” she said.

“Scranton, North Dakota,” said Andrew. “Gretna is only like one-twentieth of the way. It’ll only be maybe 18° in Gretna.”

“I thought Scranton was in Ohio,” said Rose.

“It is,” said Andrew. “But it’s also in North Dakota.

Which is a little-known fact to everybody except the people in Scranton, North Dakota.”

“Do you think there would be any reason to go to Scranton though?” said Rose. “Other than the fact that it’s 23°?”

“No,” said Andrew. “In that regard it’s similar to Gretna.”

“I can think of good reasons to go to Gretna,” said Rose.

“Really?” said Andrew. “Like what?”

“Well, for one thing, it’s only almost in the United States. And also it’s full of the nicest people you’ll meet outside of Schantzenfeld,” said Rose.

“Well, I don’t know about that,” said Andrew.

“There’s a lot of nice people outside of Schant­­z­enfeld.”

“All this talk of Schantzenfeld reminds me,” said Rose, “that we are out of farmer sausage.”

“We can pick some up on our way back from Scranton,” said Andrew.

“You know what?” said Rose. “You know what would make me even happier than going to Scranton, North Dakota?”

“No, what?” said Andrew.

“Not going to Scranton, North Dakota,” said Rose.

Andrew thought about that for a second. “But how will we get our Schantzenfeld farmer sausage then?” he wanted to know. “Do we have to go somewhere else then that we can pick it up on our way back from?”

“We could just put on our parkas and drive to Schantzenfeld,” said Rose. “And then we could drive back with our farmer sausage. I’m sure it’ll stay frozen in the back of the truck till we get home.”

“Obviously it will,” said Andrew. “But what about the weather? We still haven’t solved that problem.”

“It will solve itself,” said Rose.

“How?” asked Andrew.

“You said it yourself,” said Rose. “Summer is coming.”

Forest tent caterpillars Usually no long-term damage is done by them but they sure are annoying

By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

M

anitoba has experienced severe outbreaks of forest tent caterpillars. These insect pests are very annoying because they defoliate trees and shrubs, but they do not usually inflict lasting damage on trees unless there are infestations for three or four consecutive years. If this occurs, significant mortality of trees may result, along with considerable branch and twig mortality on surviving trees.

After being defoliated, trees do leaf out again in late summer but their window of opportunity to receive nourishment is severely shortened.

Forest tent caterpillars are about five cm long and are usually black or dark brown. They have blue and pale-yellow longitudinal stripes on their bodies and each abdominal segment is marked by a white spot. Their bodies have a spiky, hair-like material on them, which is a deterrent to predators. Although some reports say that birds such as blue jays, chickadees, nuthatches, orioles, blackbirds and some warblers eat forest tent caterpillars, this predation mostly occurs right

Forest tent caterpillars produce “tents” of silken material within which the worms grow to maturity. PHOTO: ALBERT PARSONS

after the eggs hatch while the caterpillars are tiny and more appealing. Few birds feed on the full-grown, hairy ones.

Mice, skunks and frogs are said to eat the worms but since the worms spend most of their time in the trees, this predation does not make a substantial dent in their numbers.

The worms hatch from eggs fastened to twigs and branches that adult moths lay in July and early August. The egg masses contain up to 300 individual eggs and are dark grey. They are stuck to branches when they are laid and then the moth covers

them with a gluey cement that both prevents desiccation and frost damage as the egg masses stay on the twigs until the following spring when they hatch.

Each mass completely encircles the branch to which it is attached. Once the eggs hatch the tiny caterpillars weave silken sheets within which the larvae stay during moulting. These are the “tents” that we associate with this pest. The large tent-like structures are fastened to trees — often positioned in the crotches — and the worms venture out from these protective refuges to feed.

The caterpillars feed during the day and return to their tents at night. They are gregarious and travel together in a co-ordinated fashion, leaving behind silken threads to help them find their way back to the nest in the evening. As they grow, the nests are gradually abandoned and large clusters of worms simply overnight on the surfaces of large branches, crowded together to stay warm. When they have defoliated a particular stand of trees the worms move as a group to a new food source.

As the worms reach maturity they become less social and they separate from the “hive” and build individual dull yellow-coloured silken cocoons.

One of the worst things about having a forest tent caterpillar infestation in a garden and house yard is that there a re i n n u m e ra b l e c o c o o n s on fences, under the eaves of buildings, and anywhere else that a worm might have built one. These cocoons are hard to remove and are often in inaccessible places, making removal even more difficult.

After the pupation process has been completed the darktan moths emerge from the cocoons, mate and lay their eggs. The eggs will hatch the

following spring — thankfully there is only one generation produced per year. Generally infestations occur about every decade and can last from two to four years. Severe outbreaks are brought to an end by disease, predatory parasites killing off the worms, or by the worms simply eating themselves out of food and succumbing to starvation.

During a severe infestation it is impossible to protect a home grounds from invasion without using chemical deterrents. In some years farmers hire pilots to spray their farm sites and shelterbelts, and some towns have employed the same tactic. For less severe infestations, collecting the worms by hand, selective spraying of clumps of worms, banding vulnerable trees with “Tanglefoot” bands, and removing cocoons as they appear will help to reduce their numbers. Careful examination of trees in the fall after they have shed their leaves, to find and destroy egg clusters will also be beneficial. Although not particularly harmful in the long term, they are indeed very annoying and cause devastation to landscapes in the short term.

Examining elder bullying

READERS’ PHOTOS

Research is finding peer-to-peer bullying in seniors’ homes

By Marg Sheridan University of Saskatchewan

M

en and women who were once mobile, busy and hard working often find themselves contained by the physical limitations of their aging bodies, a consequence of growing old.

And for some, living in a seniors’ community, an old problem may return again as they wind up facing down an opponent they hadn’t contemplated in years: the bully.

“This is like bullying occurring in your own home,” said Donna Goodridge, a professor in the department of respirology, critical care and sleep medicine at the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Medicine. “And you may not have any kind of supports because there are (minimal) supports offered in the apartment itself.”

The research being done in Saskatoon is revealing that incidences of peer-to-peer bullying in seniors’ communities is prevalent.

In her study, Goodridge and her team found that 39 per cent of respondents admitted to having seen a peer bullied within the past year, with nearly a third confirming that they were personally bullied. And those seniors who had been bullied were self-reporting the same health and mental-health symptoms that their youth counterparts were, with responses ranging from added stress and a sense of embarrassment, to a loss of sleep and sense of worry.

Several retirement communities in Manitoba have taken steps to encourage mindfulness and self-care by hosting workshops that help residents deal with issues that they do not always have control over.

And with a number of seniors fearful to leave their own apartments, they become susceptible to perceived loneliness or social isolation.

“Their home is (a) haven,” Goodridge continued. “When they’re not able to get out to their doctors’ appointments because they’re worried that they might be bullied, they become scared to come out of their apartments and become socially isolated. And social isolation causes all kinds of problems, like premature institutionalization, because they can’t support themselves.”

It’s an issue that Goodridge expects will only get worse, as Canada’s senior population continues to grow. That increase in the number of seniors who will move into retirement complexes could lead to more bullying as residents who may never have had to live in an

apartment-style community are forced to adapt to new social standards.

“This is something that we need to take a really proactive approach to and create those respectful environments where people do feel safe,” she said.

Outside of designing retirement communities with an understanding that this is an issue, Goodridge recommends visual reminders, like posters and flyers, encouraging respectful environments by stressing that bullying is not acceptable.

Creating community rules and standards that broadly define what behaviour is considered to be bullying can also have an immediate impact.

Several retirement communities in Manitoba have taken steps to encourage mindfulness and self-care by hosting workshops that help residents deal with issues that they do not always have control over.

Goodridge and the Saskatoon Council on Aging are currently working with Youville Centre in Winnipeg to develop a common strategy that combines a focus on creating respectful environments, along with developing a mindful approach to living.

“Engaging seniors, hearing about what other things they want to do, is really critical,” Goodridge said. “As outsiders we can come in and say, ‘This is the answer to your problem,’ but we really need to hear it from (them).”

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.

There were four elevators at Elgin when this photo was taken in 1981. The 30,000-bushel elevator in the foreground, built in 1928 by the Canadian Consolidated Grain Company, had two balloon annexes and fertilizer shed when it was sold to United Grain Growers in 1959. It closed in 1985 and was demolished. The 50,000-bushel Manitoba Pool elevator and annex beside it dates from 1926, while the side-by-side Paterson elevators in the background consisted of a smaller one built here in 1923 and a larger one brought from Wakopa in 1966. The Paterson elevators were sold to Pool in 1981. The following year, the smaller one was demolished as the larger one was renovated extensively and a modern crib annex was built beside it. Today, only the former Paterson elevator and its annex remain at the site, in private ownership. Photo: University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections

NEW TO THE SHOW?

Livestock Central, Presented by BMO Financial Group, Adds Exhibits and Programming

L Experience live demonstrations of field equipment, crops, livestock and services all together on 320 acres 15 minutes north west of Saskatoon in the RM of Corman Park.

DAILY EVENTS & DEMOS

■ FiELd dEMOs: Unparalleled opportunity to see the latest equipment in the field. This year’s highlights include the Tillage Demo, Combine Demo and Sprayer Ride’n’Drive.

ivestock Central at Ag in Motion™ has expanded the scope of experience for visitors to the show this July, near Langham, Saskatchewan. This is sure to be a marked stop for livestock producers on their visit to the Expo. BMO Financial Group is proud to present Livestock Central this year as they celebrate their bicentennial.

“We are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm we have seen to expand this area of the Expo from exhibitors and industry stakeholders alike,” says Michael Hargrave, Livestock Co-ordinator for Ag in Motion.

“Livestock Central will have exhibitors and events to peak the curiosity of every visitor coming through.”

New this year, Wednesday July 19 will be “Beef Day.” As part of Beef Day, a new speaker series organized in partnership with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture will focus on topics specific to the production and care of beef cattle.

A key feature of Beef Day in the Livestock Pen will be a Low Stress Cattle Handling demo featuring internationally recognized stockmanship instructor Curt Pate. “With the growing public scrutiny of livestock production, improving our livestock handling practices will help the sustainability of the cattle industry,” Pate says. Be sure to mark down the start of Pate’s demos in the Livestock pen at 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm.

The Livestock Handling demo has grown this year to include more handling systems from 2W Livestock Equipment, Stampede Steel Inc., Morand Industries, and Tuff Livestock Equipment. Starting every day at 11:00 am cattle farmers can not only take a look at the various systems on offer, they can actually see them in action,

providing a firsthand experience of what a new system can do for their operation. Eliminating handling frustrations, reducing processing time, and ultimately providing the best environment possible for working directly with animals is an interest to anyone working with livestock.

Visit Livestock Central, presented by BMO Financial Group, located on Manitoba Drive at the south end of the site.

g in Motion™ has bolstered the education portion of Livestock Central, presented by BMO, this July.

Working closely with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, the Livestock Speaker Series offers an array of industry knowledge to those in various livestock sectors.

With both a ‘Dairy Day’ on Tuesday, July 18 and a ‘Beef Day’ on Wednesday, July 19, the speakers have been targeted to address areas of interest pertinent to the theme of the day. The different speakers on each day are sure to enhance the experience of exhibitors attending the various demos also taking place around Livestock Central.

On ‘Dairy Day’ the Speaker Series will focus on the production of silage. Although a staple of the dairy sector, this will also peak the interests of other livestock producers passing through. The importance of testing silage moisture and the selection of bale silage plastics will be highlighted in the Speaker Series during ‘Dairy Day’ and producers will come away armed with knowledge to improve their feed quality at home.

‘Beef Day’ shifts gears in the Speaker Series to focus on topics relevant to the interests of beef producers.

The morning portion of speakers will kick things off with some insight on feeding corn silage to cattle. Following that there will be a feature on grazing corn. With the rising concerns around grazing corn and the challenges arising with this growing practice in beef production this is sure to be an informative learning experience for cattle producers.

The final day of the Expo will focus on cover crops and record keeping. The cover crop session will explain the importance of cover crops used on forage and grazing land. The afternoon session switches gears to record keeping, discussing new equipment that can be used to improve the ease of electronic records.

All three days of the Speaker Series will include tours of the cover crop plots around Livestock Central at Ag in Motion.

In the south end of Livestock Central at 3:30 pm, farmers can watch a baling and wrapping demo.

From learning about silage production in the Speaker Series to seeing equipment in action, the forage area of Livestock Central, presented by BMO has much to offer visitors.

Both ‘Beef Day’ and ‘Dairy Day’ are sure to provide some excellent and insightful education for cattle producers. Be sure to mark down Livestock Central as the place to be on your visit to Ag in Motion 2017.
