Hail damage in soybeans continues to rise MASC sees record hail claims after two of the worst years for hail damage in recent history

icamba drift appears to be causing damage to some Manitoba soybean crops, a provincial extension official says.

Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture’s farm production adviser based in Souris said July 26 that leaf cupping, which is a sign of dicamba damage in soybeans that are not bred to be tolerant, is showing up in some parts of the province.

oybeans are having a ‘hail’ of a time in Manitoba, thanks to two of the worst years for hail damage in recent memory.

Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation in 2016 paid soybean growers $5.2 million in hail damage claims, 12 per cent of its total hail payouts for that year, statistics show.

The year before, in 2015, MASC paid growers $5.7 million in soybean hail damage claims, 18 per cent of total payouts.

The increased payouts are a function of rapidly expanding soybean acreage in Manitoba.

But they also reflect a recent significant increase in hail claims, including the two worst summers for crop-hail losses since the late 1980s.

According to MASC hail insurance statistics, crophail losses to Manitoba farmers from all sources in 2015 and 2016 were estimated at $54.1 million and $77.7 million respectively. MASC alone paid out a record $44 million for crop-hail damage in 2016 and $31.1 million in 2015.

Payments for hail claims in 2016 were nearly four times

the previous 10-year average of $11.45 million.

As for soybeans, MASC’s allrisk crop insurance program is covering just over two million acres of the crop this year, up 35 per cent from 2016 and 55 per cent more than in 2015.

Doug Wilcox, MASC’s manager of research administration, said the agency in 2016 would have expected to pay $700,000 for hail damage to soybeans if acreage had remained at the 2005-14 historic average. Instead, MASC

paid out nearly 7.5 times as much because soybeans are expanding so rapidly.

Exactly why 2015 and 2016 were so bad for hail isn’t known.

iving in rural households decreases a person’s risk of developing inflammator y bowel disease (IBD), particularly for young children and adolescents, according to a new study by researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Research Institute, Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES), and the Canadian GastroIn t e s t i n a l Ep i d e m i o l o g y Consortium (CanGIEC).

“Our findings show that children, particularly those under the age of 10, experience a protective effect against IBD if they live in a rural household. This effect is particularly strong in children who are raised in a rural household in the first five years of life,” said Dr. Eric Benchimol, lead author of the study, scientist at ICES and a pediatric gastroenterologist at the CHEO Inflammatory Bowel Disease Centre, in Ottawa.

Benchimol said the number of very young children diagnosed with IBD, a spectrum that includes Crohn’s dis-

ease and ulcerative colitis, has jumped over the past two decades and this study supports the hypothesis that increased urbanization plays a role.

These lifelong conditions cause inflammation in the digestive tract, leading to chronic diarrhea, blood in the stool, abdominal pains and weight loss.

Canada has among the

highest rates of IBD in the world; it also has one of the highest rates of urbanization. The researchers suggest the intestinal microbiome is affected by different exposures early in life whether they are urban or rural, resulting in increased or decreased risk.

The study was published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.

Cigi’s first executive director dead at 97 Teaching himself as he went along, Victor Martens quickly rose through the grain industry STAFF

he man who conceived the Canadian International Grains Institute and was the organization’s first executive director has died.

Victor Martens was 97 and had a formidable career in the agriculture sector, all without the benefit of formal post-secondary education.

In 1938 he visited the Grain Research Laborator y in Winnipeg searching for a job. He quickly distinguished himself as an able technician and was noted for developing his skills and quickly moving up the ranks of the organization.

He was also responsible for many improvements in the ability to test and grade grain.

Among his many achievements he contributed to the invention of the official electronic moisture metre to test the moisture of grain in Canada and the U.S., he drafted and helped

In 1938 he visited the Grain Research Laboratory in Winnipeg searching for a job.

negotiate the passage of the Canadian Grain Act of 1971, he brought the International Cereal and Bread Congress to Winnipeg in 1978 and acted as the event chair.

While Martens was largely selftaught, he always regretted never attending university. However, that didn’t stop him from contributing to the academic world. He taught himself calculus so he could better work with cereal chemists and published a dozen academic papers and completed a further 56 for inter-

Martens’ career took him across the country and around the world, making the case for Canadian grain in more than 50 countries, including two early visits to China in 1966 and 1970, predating the famous visit of U.S. president, Richard Nixon in 1972.

Martens also contributed to the unique nature of downtown Winnipeg with the unusually shaped ‘mushroom’ building where Cigi is currently headquartered on Main Street.

Its unique design allowed the top two floors to be larger than those below to accommodate a full grain mill, while still fitting into the limited footprint at street level.

Victor married Anne Toews in 1942, and they had three children and later nine grandchildren.

KAP hopes improved checkoff ready for its next fiscal year Under proposed changes, partial checkoff fees would stay with KAP rather than being refunded

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff / Brandon

K

eystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) hopes Bill 35, legislation to amend its funding checkoff, will be law by the start of KAP’s new fiscal year Dec. 1, 2017.

“I’m very hopeful that these changes, while not a wholesale overhaul of the (Agricultural Pr o d u c e r s’ O r g a n i z a t i o n Funding Act) and the way our system functions, will make things a little bit easier for us to administer,” KAP general manager James Battershill told KAP’s advisory council meeting here July 13.

There would be two changes after amendments to the Agricultural Producers’ Organization Funding Act, which were given first reading at the end of the Manitoba legislature’s spring session.

Currently, designated persons or companies that purchase agricultural products are to collect 0.75 per cent of the gross selling price and remit the money to the province’s certified farm organization, which has been KAP since 1988. The

money goes towards KAP’s annual membership fee of $210.

However, now if the full fee isn’t collected all the money collected is automatically returned to the farmer.

If Bill 35 becomes law the money will stay with KAP, giving the farmer “supporter” status. Both supporters and full members could still apply for a refund.

KAP currently has a “supporter” category, Battershill said in an email.

The main difference is the eligibility to vote at meetings.

The second change is the certified organization — currently KAP — will have that designation for five years instead of two.

Only applies to KAP L ow e Fa r m f a r m e r Bu t c h Harder complained Bill 35 doesn’t extend a funding checkoff to the National Farmers Union.

“A lot of us belong to both organizations and both organizations have their place so I would hope that act could allow for both general farm organizations so we see the automatic checkoff as farmers choose.”

Lowe Farm farmer Butch Harder expressed concerns about changes to KAP’s checkoff legislation at KAP’s advisory council meeting in Brandon July 13. PHOTO: ALLAN DAWSON

Battershill said the Manitoba government isn’t interested in a major overhaul of the act.

“It would be effectively impossible to implement the existing checkoff for two independent (farm) organizations,” Battershill said.

“Well, it’s not impossible in other provinces,” Harder replied.

“Because they have vastly different programs that aren’t

dependent on at-sale checkoffs,” Battershill said.

Harder warned extending a general farm organization’s certification period to five years could breed complacency. “( T )he organization (KAP) does a lot of good for farmers, but tends not to deal with issues other organizations will deal with that are also very important to farmers,” Harder said, alluding to KAP’s tepid support for the Canadian Wheat Board retaining its single-desk marketing authority.

“Does that mean that you are planning on retiring soon and not holding us to account?”

Battershill asked.

“I think there are a lot of people who wish I would retire,” Harder replied.

Ba t t e r s h i l l re p e a t e d t h e amendments are meant to reduce the checkoff’s administrative burden.

Under the current act KAP doesn’t even need to reapply for certification, he added.

It happens automatically as long as KAP demonstrates it represents more farmers than other provincial general farm organizations.

KAP is the most accountable

Canadian farm group, holding four public policy setting meetings a year, he added.

“I think we are being pretty well held to account by our membership on a regular basis,” Battershill said.

KAP has long complained about its checkoff. Designated buyers — mainly elevators, processors and feed mills — are legally obliged to deduct and remit the money to KAP. Nevertheless, some buyers refuse to collect it. Some collect it from farmers who pay KAP memberships by cheque up front and some keep collecting after hitting the membership cap.

Farmers have to sell $28,000 worth of product before KAP collects its full $210 membership fee.

KAP’s membership is holding steady, despite a decline in total farmers. As of June 30 there were 3,377 paid-up members compared to 3,553 at the same time last year. When partially paid memberships are included, the number rises to 4,846 in 2017 versus 4,896 last year. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Chicken producers pleased with specialty quota ruling Both sides of the issue say they feel fairly treated

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

T

h e c o n t r ov e r s y ov e r Manitoba Chicken Producers’ (MCP) new annual specialty quota program has been resolved with both sides satisfied they were treated fairly by a ruling from the Manitoba Farm Producers Marketing Council (MFPMC).

In a ruling in early July the council told MPC to postpone charging administrative fees for 10 years among those participating in the program, recognizing the financial impact

the additional fees would have on existing participants. At the same time its ruling stated support for MPC’s move to adopt new policy seeing a need to modernize and update the manner in which chicken is regulated.

The specialty quota program was launched January 1, 2017 to improve opportunities for small-scale farmers to meet new consumer demands for different types of meat chickens, but raised many questions about the impact it would have on those raising specialty chicken.

Direct Farm Manitoba said it

“We believe the decision is fair and reasonable.”

Wayne Hiltz

was pleased with the ruling and said earlier this month it felt the MFPMC had heard its main concerns.

In a statement released July 17 the chicken producers also said their organization was pleased with MFPMC’s deci-

sion because, aside from ordering the administrative fees be postponed, it showed support for their new program and acknowledged the need for making changes to deal with marketing challenges in a changing industry.

“We believe the decision is fair and reasonable,” said Wayne Hiltz, executive director of MCP in the statement.

“A l l o w i n g t h e A n n u a l Specialty Quote Program to continue means more choices f o r c o n s u m e r s a n d m o re options for farmers.” lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Changing times, changing tastes

I

t’s not unusual for grownup kids to call ahead before coming home to give the resident cook time to prepare their special requests, usually for the likes of apple pie that fill the house with delicious aromas and the heart with warmth.

But this time, the request was unusual.

“If you’re bored this weekend, could you make me some sort of legume Laura Rance salad?” said the text.

FBC Editorial Director The easy out was to reply, “I’m never bored.” But I was intrigued enough to ask her why, after years of turning her nose up at most things leguminous, was she suddenly seeking them out?

“Trying to switch back to a plant-based diet, but I suck at cooking and don’t have time…,” came the response.

It turns out she’s been turned off meat by something she saw online. Oh dear.

This nutrition guru is a “real” doctor, she tells me. And he’s independent, as in, he’s referring to science not paid for by meat producers.

She says he says eating animal protein causes inflammation in the body, which leads to a host of poor health outcomes. In a nutshell, a plant-based diet that includes nuts, seeds, and beans is the only way not to die prematurely. Even eggs are out.

Curious, I Googled the guy. She’s right, he’s not paid for by vested agricultural interests. But he is paid by someone: the Humane Society of the United States. While that doesn’t mean he’s wrong, he does appear to interpret the available science somewhat selectively.

Although the meat sector continues to try, (more on that later) it’s getting harder to argue against a plant-based diet. In fact, the recently released Summary of Guiding Principles and Recommendations the federal government will use to rewrite Canada’s Food Guide encourages “regular intake of vegetables, fruit, whole grains and protein-rich foods, especially plantbased sources of protein.”

It goes on to say eaters should include “foods that contain mostly unsaturated fat, instead of foods that contain mostly saturated fat.”

The word “meat” is absent, but by inference, people who choose to eat meat should be choosing to eat a lot less of it.

That’s a big change for a culture that answers “what’s for dinner,” by naming a meat dish.

There are famous — and healthy — vegetarian role models, too. Take, for example, the Grand Slam queens Serena and Vanessa Williams in the world of tennis, who consume raw vegan diets during tennis season.

Pulse crop farmers will be delighted with this trend, livestock and dairy producers, not so much. Either way, consumers are still supporting farmers.

That brings us to another delicate question: should the welfare of farmers be a criteria for setting nutritional recommendations?

Again, the federal food policy consultations has already attracted more than 20,000 responses, only some of which will have come from farm groups.

Obviously, having a healthy agricultural sector is important to Canada.

But no one in agriculture should be surprised — or feel victimized — that as times change, so do people’s tastes and nutritional needs. We eat differently than my parents’ generation, who eats differently than their parents.

For starters, those of us with desk jobs need a lot fewer calories to get through our days than our grandparents, or even our parents did.

So how does agriculture respond to these changing times?

The meat industry has focused its efforts at high-efficiency production aimed at keeping the cost of meat affordable.

Meanwhile, the market it serves is becoming more diverse, less predictable and more concerned with ethics.

Newspaper inserts and campaigns designed to discredit the “eat less” or “go meatless” campaigns come across as shrill, defensive and self-serving, especially if one of the sources they target are government-sanctioned guidelines.

Perhaps a better strategy is to position what they produce as a specialty food with nutritional benefits that complement, rather than conflict, with other recommendations. Plus, livestock are an important nutrient recycler in agriculture.

Farmers should also pressure governments to ensure consumers are making the right choices — for the right reasons.

For example, I read another article recommending people shun meat that tells readers red meat is toxic because the animals were fed grain that was doused with cancer-causing glyphosate. Where do you start with that one?

While efforts such as Ag in the Classroom try to communicate about agriculture and food, it shouldn’t be up to industry volunteers to teach Canadian students about food.

A healthy food policy is one that commits to ensuring every child in this country, not only has enough to eat, but understands the basics of food production. laura@fbcpublishing.com

Rules for fools

By Alan Guebert

D

uring my first days of Lutheran grade school, I was surprised to learn that the world had only 10 rules. Sure, eight of them ordered what I “shalt not” do and just two told me what I must do. Still, no Lutheran worth his catechism ever had a problem with a negative four-to-one ratio.

But then Mrs. Kuring, my teacher, added more rules. No talking in school. No running in the hallway. No biting your classmates.

We quickly learned to follow Mrs. Kuring’s rules more diligently than the commandments because hers were backside tested; the Big Ten were merely time tested. Later, either through fear or faith, we learned to follow both because there would be hell to pay, either now or later, if we didn’t.

Presidents of the United States face the same trade-off: you can choose not to follow the rules but it can be a costly choice.

Donald J. Trump is a rule breaker. That was a key reason why the majority of rural voters chose him over his 2016 challenger. And he has kept his word.

Much of the president’s rule breaking, however, hasn’t yielded tangible results. In midJuly, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved its 2018 budget for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) which soundly rejected the deep cuts Trump had proposed for USDA only two months earlier. The Senate bill also restored the undersecretary for rural development that Trump previously had ticketed to eliminate.

The same week of his Senate rebuke, Trump nominated Iowan Sam Clovis, a former campaign official and radio talk show host, to be USDA’s undersecretary of research, education, and economics.

It’s an outrageous, rule-breaking choice. By statute, noted the July 24 San Jose (CA) MercuryNews, this “undersecretary is to be chosen from

OUR HISTORY:

T

‘distinguished scientists with specialized or significant experience in agricultural research, education and economics.’ By contrast... Clovis has never taken a graduate course in science and is openly skeptical of climate change.”

“Naming an anti-science blowhard to a job meant for a scientist would be like Ford picking a CEO who rides a horse to work.”

Despite that ringing denouncement, 22 of the most powerful, well-funded American farm and commodity groups offered Clovis a ringing endorsement in a flowery letter sent to Senate Ag Committee leaders.

“Some have suggested that Dr. Clovis is not qualified for this position due to his lack of hands-on science and research experience. We do not share this point of view,” it said. After all, USDA “already employs some of the finest and most dedicated scientists in the world. They do not need a peer. They need someone to champion their work…”

Three days after posting its We Love Clovis letter, Big Ag’s biggest ag groups learned — in a Senate Ag Committee hearing on farm credit and crop insurance, no less — that Clovis had labelled crop insurance, the central pillar of U.S. farm policy, “unconstitutional.”

When told of this Farm Bill heresy, the committee’s crop insurance-loving chairman, Republican Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas, announced to many of the letter-sending farm group leaders in the hearing room, “If there is some nominee coming before this committee who says crop insurance is unconstitutional, they might as well not show up.”

The farm leaders didn’t flinch. Why would they? The rules, they recently learned, do not apply and the truth is simply what the loudest, most persistent yeller says it is.

Which brings us back to Mrs. Kuring. You don’t have to follow the rules but, sooner or later, there will be hell to pay.

August 1963

his ad from our August 8, 1963 issue reminds of when Manitoba had an active sugar industry. And when you dropped in to see the new Farmhand multiple-row beet harvester, you could also check out an Owatonna windrower.

We reported that despite heavy losses from drought and rust, Manitoba’s wheat crop could reach 70 million bushels, considerably less than 82 million the previous year but 18 million above the previous five-year average.

At least some of the harvest would have a market — Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp had announced that “Mainland China” had signed an agreement to buy between 112 million and 186.7 million bushels over the next three years. In return Canada had agreed to relax duties on Chinese textiles. That drew a complaint from the executive director of the Canadian Apparel and Textile Manufacturers Association, who said that it was hard to understand why Canada continued to give away the domestic market and add to the serious unemployment situation.

Saskatchewan Wheat Pool announced it was entering the farm supply business, selling fertilizer, weed sprays, other farm chemicals and twine. It was also entering the seed business, having purchased the assets of the dissolved Saskatchewan Seed Grain Co-operative Limited.

Manitoba Agriculture Minister George Hutton said that crop insurance could be extended to all Manitoba farmers by 1966 if the federal government agreed to underwrite the program, which was still in deficit following the severe drought in 1961.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

If push comes to shove, Canadians will abandon supply management It won’t be high milk prices that kills supply management, it will be the prospect of better trade terms with the U.S.

By Carlo Dade and Andrew Enns

C

anadians’ support for supply management for dairy, eggs and poultry — which has been presented as rock solid — evaporates when confronted with the tough choices that must be made in the coming renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

This is critical information for the Canadian government and Canadians themselves to understand as the country prepares for NAFTA negotiations where special interests will be spending massively to demonstrate public support for their particular ‘ask’ at the negotiating table.

In the scheme of global trade, the future of Canada’s dairy industry may seem a small issue. But given Canada’s $2-billion-a-day dependence on the U.S. for trade, and the importance of NAFTA to all Canadians, fighting over the wrong bargaining chip would have severe negative repercussions.

Recent polling by NRG Research G r o u p a n d t h e C a n a d a We s t Foundation shows that the Canadian public understands this. Not surprisingly, given historic polling data, the majority of Canadians polled support the country’s dairy price support system and are willing to pay more for milk.

But when this support is placed in the context of upcoming high-stakes NAFTA negotiations, Canadians are

After being reminded that supply management is at the top of the Americans’ trade irritants list, a majority of Canadians (67 per cent of all respondents) were open to making concessions, while only 18 per cent favoured defending the current system at any cost.

ready to put supply management on the table to see what can be gained in exchange.

Recent news reports have made it clear to Canadians what is at stake.

Both the U.S. Congress and the Trump administration have identified opening Canada’s dairy and poultry industries as a top NAFTA renegotiation priority. The Americans will be entering the NAFTA talks loaded for bear — or in this case, cow.

Long before President Trump’s infamous Wisconsin dairy farm stop, Canada’s supply management system had been a cross-border irritant with state and federal politicians of the left, right and centre in the U.S. In fact, resentment of Canadian supply management is proba bly the only issue on which Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, Paul Ryan and California Governor Jerry Brown could all agree.

So it’s no surprise that dairy is going to be a top issue in NAFTA negotiations.

This would seem to be a prob-

lem for any Canadian government, given polling consistently showing strong public support for Canada’s dairy-processing industry and quota and price support system. It’s not, actually.

In our polling, just under half of respondents (44 per cent) favoured abolishing the current system in exchange for cheaper milk, while just over half (56 per cent) initially favoured keeping the current system with its higher prices.

Then came the NAFTA factor. After being reminded that supply management is at the top of the Americans’ trade irritants list, a majority of Canadians (67 per cent of all respondents) were open to making concessions, while only 18 per cent favoured defending the current system at any cost.

Of the majority that favoured making concessions, 36 per cent favoured entering NAFTA negotiations with dairy “on offer up front” to see what the Americans would offer in return, while 22 per cent suggested waiting

for the Americans to bring it up and then seeing what can be gained.

Nine per cent of respondents even offered to end supply management before negotiations begin.

These numbers should weigh heavily on Canadian negotiators and politicians before they start pushing chips across the NAFTA negotiating table.

The nuances in Canadian opinion toward the hot-button issue of supply management illustrates the value of approaching complex public policy issues with methodologically sound public opinion research — polling that goes beyond the immediate impact of splashy advertising campaigns and digs into the nitty-gritty of the issues.

For Canadians and the federal government, it’s not a black and white choice between supply management and no supply management. General support/oppose numbers on this topic do not reveal the true picture of Canadians’ opinion and aren’t helpful to the government as it considers its position on supply management.

Canadians’ opinions on dairy industry supply management only truly come through when people are asked questions that consider the context — and the consequences — of things that affect us all, like actual trade negotiations.

Facing up to the truth about climate change If we want consumers to accept the judgment of science, we need to return the favour

By Lisa Guenther

T

hose pants look terrible on you.

Perhaps you’ve experienced that awkward moment when you try to stop a friend from committing a fashion faux pas. If so, you may have agonized how to word your concerns to avoid offence, while still getting your message across.

It’s a potentially volatile moment that perfectly captures how I feel writing this column.

What I’m trying to say is this: If you tell consumers that they shouldn’t be worried about GMOs because science says they’re safe, but deny climate change in the next breath, you lose credibility outside the ag echo chamber.

Yes, there are scientists who claim climate change is a hoax, or not caused by humans. But quoting them is like quoting Dr. Oz to justify the latest food fad. The majority of climate change scientists say that our climate is shifting, and that shift is caused by us.

While the climate has changed

without our help in the past, that doesn’t rule out human causes this time.

I can understand why many in the ag industry view climate change activists with skepticism. They are often self-righteous, and that’s annoying as a restless cat at 4 a.m. Some use a particularly hot day or severe storm alone as evidence of climatic catastrophe, and that’s not necessarily correct. But neither is that recent cold winter evidence that things are OK. Climate change is more like the tide coming in than a tsunami crashing over us — a shift in weather patterns that unfolds over decades. It might not be apparent that there’s a problem until you find yourself up to your nose in sea water.

Insurance industry quote data I w a s b r ow s i n g a r o u n d Munich Re’s website, hoping to find some bit of info to win you all over. Munich Re is a global insurance company that provides both primary insurance and reinsurance.

The company is based in (you guessed it) Munich, Germany.

If yo u s e a rc h “c l i m a t e change” on Munich Re’s website, you’ll find some fascinating fact sheets. According to Dr. Eberhard Faust, head of Munich Re’s climate risks research, the melting ice in the Arctic will not cause sea level rises. He writes that the ice is in a state of equilibrium with surrounding water. If you’ve ever had a scotch on the rocks and waited long enough for the ice cubes to melt, you’d find the level of the fluid in the glass doesn’t change, he further explains. Same concept (basically).

It’s not all good news. Faust writes that if the climate warms by 2 C: • Central and Southern Europe are likely to see more flooding, due to more precipitation. Northern Europe will likely see less extreme flooding because there will be less snow accumulation.

• Europe will likely see more than double the number of heat wave days, and the Mediterranean will be even hotter.

• Losses from drought, storms, etc.… in France could nearly double by 2040.

On e t h i n g I l i k e a b o u t Munich Re’s information is that it tries to separate natural climate variability from man-made climate change.

For example, the site explains how the ocean and atmosphere affect Australia and New Zealand’s climate. We’ve all heard of La Niña and El Niño, and they cer tainly affect weather Down Under.

The Indian Ocean Dipole, which is all about sea surface temperature, has also had a big effect on droughts for centuries. In the positive phase, sea surface temperatures are low in the east and high in the west parts of the Indian Ocean. In positive or neutral phases, southern Australia (especially the southeast) is more likely to see big droughts. In negative phases, the same region gets more rain.

The Indian Ocean Dipole is a natural phenomenon.

But, according to Munich Re, recent precipitation drops in Australia’s cool season are “unlikely to be the result of natural climate oscillations alone. It is probable that climate change was already starting to take effect, reduc-

ing the frequency of the cutoff lows which bring rains to the southwest, south and southeast of Australia and to Tasmania.”

I don’t know how helpful a Canadian carbon tax will be, or how much it might harm our economy. It will depend largely on how it’s done. I think we should also be looking at adapting at this point, and I suspect many industries are doing just that.

The fact that the insurance industry is concerned about climate change makes me concerned (especially since I live on the edge of the flammable boreal forest). I doubt the insurance industry is unduly influenced by either activists or the fossil fuel lobby. Those people are all about risk and numbers.

Of course, you don’t have to believe any of this. You have a right to your own opinion.

All I’m saying is that climate change denial is not a good look, especially when the ag industry is pleading for science-based policy.

those years was certainly above the normal range. But other perils, such as drought and excess moisture, did not exceed historical levels.

Although some would probably blame climate change for the increase in hailstorms, Wilcox was noncommittal.

“Certainly, if you’re a climate change suppor ter, you would say that’s evidence of increased weather variability due to climate change, which may or may not be true,” said Wilcox.

“But it could be just one of those things that happens.

Weather varies.”

Wilcox gave an update on soybean crop insurance coverage during a recent tour at the Canada-Manitoba Crop Diversification Centre hosted by Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers.

Wilcox said MASC counted a record 69 hail days in 2016, one more than in 2015 and 28 per cent above average. Besides being more frequent, hails t o r m s w e re a l s o m o re damaging. The average crop loss on damaged fields was 20.4 per cent, two per cent above average.

Three hot spots for crop-hail storms stood out in Manitoba dur ing 2016. They were the RMs of Deloraine-Winchester, N o r f o l k - Tr e h e r n e a n d Lorne-Pembina.

Wilcox said there seemed to be more of a southwesterly shift in hailstorm patterns. Generally, according to MASC, most crop-hail losses in Manitoba tend to occur south and west of the Interlake. The Red River Valley is the worst region.

Historically, the majority of crop-hail claims are in August. However, Wilcox said MASC saw above-normal hail damage claims in June and the last half of August during 2015 and 2016, and below-average claims in the first half of August and September.

This is a reminder that producers should sign up for hail insurance earlier than they have traditionally done, said Wilcox.

But it’s easy to exaggerate the overall damage caused by hail. MASC says 23 per cent of its crop-hail claims do not result in significant damage. Only 10 per cent of claims account for 75 per cent of crop-hail losses.

As for the future, Wilcox said the message to producers is clear.

“Probably, rates will be going up due to high losses in the last couple of years,” he said. “Any deficits or loss experiences have to be

“It could be just one of those things that happens.”

DICAMBA Continued from page 1

“We’ve been noticing this (dicamba damage) a lot more in the Red River Valley, where we are seeing a lot of the Xtend (dicamba-tolerant soybean) varieties being grown and producers are… spraying dicamba on their soybeans and (it’s) drifting onto other fields that are not the Xtend varieties,” Kaskiw said, adding he has been getting calls about dicamba drift since July 20.

In severe cases the damage shows up on the new plant growth as it grows, he said.

“In lighter cases where you go farther out into the field where the drift isn’t as bad you will see some damage and the plants may outgrow it.”

A lot of soybeans are flowering now and have been for a week or so. That’s when dicamba drift can cause the most yield damage, Kaskiw said.

Kaskiw also said those spraying roadsides and ditches need to be more aware of nearby crops, especially soybeans because some of the weed killers used in ditches also kill soybeans.

Monsanto recommends applying dicamba with nozzles that produce coarse to ultra-coarse droplets such as Turbo TeeJet Induction and Air Induction.

Those nozzles require application rates of at least 10 gallons of water an acre.

Spraying should take place when wind speeds are three to 15 kilometres an hour and at sprayer travel speeds of no more than 24 kilometres per hour. Boom height should be no more than 50 centimetres, Monsanto says.

Farmers shouldn’t spray during inversions or when wind conditions are dead calm.

Cleaning all the dicamba out of a spray tank isn’t hard, but critical.

“We’ve been noticing this (dicamba damage) a lot more in the Red River Valley, where we are seeing a lot of the Xtend (dicamba-tolerant soybean) varieties being grown and producers are… spraying dicamba on their soybeans and (it’s) drifting onto other fields that are not the Xtend varieties.”

Lionel Kaskiw

If you see this don’t worry, the plant will grow out of it, says Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture’s farm production adviser based in Souris.

Monsanto recommends triple rinsing sprayers after applying dicamba. The first rinse is with water. All filters and screens should be cleaned with an ammonia- or detergent-based solution. The tank should get a similar solution and be agitated then flushed. Follow that with a third rinse with water.

Another symptom showing up in farmers’ fields is blistering on the soybean leaves. Kaskiw said the bubbling on soybean leaves is occurring in some areas where there’s good soil moisture and plants are growing faster than the leaves can keep up.

“It will outgrow this in a few days as the leaves start to get their full development,” he said. “You have extra growth in between the veins here and you see the bubbling effect. As the leaves get bigger these will disappear.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

Dicamba drift injury on non-dicamba-tolerant soybeans causes leaf cupping, says Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture’s farm production adviser based in Souris.

t’s time for 4-H members to find their footing with geographic information systems (GIS) technology.

That’s according to an extension 4-H program based out of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

“Geospatial thinking is a necessity and, with the new equipment, the new things that are coming out, the more education and understanding that you have, the better it’s going to be,” said Kim Bearnes, an educator from Nebraska’s Stanton County.

GIS, including global positioning system use (GPS), was one example of science and technology presented at the second Global 4-H Summit in Ottawa, July 11-14.

Joining up with GIS Day, hosted internationally by the National Geographic Society, Association of American Geographers and GIS software company ESRI each November, the Nebraska 4-H extension has introduced Grade 5-6 students from Madison County to the technology for the last 10 years.

In that time, the workshop’s attendance has grown from 125 in 2007 to 489 participants last year.

Agricultural impact GIS jobs, the basics of GPS and hurricane mapping are among the areas covered, but the integration of GIS with 4-H has implications on the farm.

GIS data is the basis for precision agriculture applications which can increase yields while

protecting the environment through precise application of fertilizer and chemicals.

“We want our kids to understand why agriculture is important,” Bearnes said. “We also know that not all kids are going to be farmers… but they may have a career in agriculture that will enhance our sustainability of agriculture in Nebraska.”

The technology is largely new to many of the 4-H members introduced to it through their workshop, presenters added, although some farm-based participants are already familiar with GIS. “Parents have farms that have tractors that have GPS units or they do precision agriculture with the technology and that’s really critical for children to learn, that these are already being used. This is not something that is a dream.

This is something that’s huge,” Stanton County educator Lee Sherry said.

Surface water management is one of the GIS applications highlighted in the Nebraska extension program. Students are asked to design a dam along the Snake River in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, and to map the contours of the river and estimate the impact of their dam.

The resulting environmental evaluation will include affected animals and archeological features, effects on landscape, including natural wetlands and forests, the financial viability of the structure and the potential benefits of the dam to the surrounding area.

Nebraska GIS specialist Norman Small said the same GIS technology that allows farmers to plan seed rows and engineers to evaluate dams can also be used to map roadways, to facilitate geocaching, to plan city layouts, crime scene mapping or even to map out the brain for neurosurgery.

Glenn Gress, president of the Saskatchewan 4-H Council, said he sees significant benefit to introducing members to the technology, as their clubs are based largely in rural areas.

“GPS is one of our main factors in Saskatchewan,” Gress said. “We use it on all of our farm equipment — our seeding equipment, our haying equipment, our spraying equipment and also in our hunting and stuff, so GPS was really a big factor in this and I wanted just to learn more about (how) to take it to the next level.

“We’re always looking for new things and projects and I’m definitely going to take this back to the board and see if we can turn it into a project for Saskatchewan kids,” he added. astockford@farmmedia.com

4-H finds fertile ground to tackle food security Vertical gardens and composting are among the 4-H projects to help African families produce their own food

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff / Ottawa

N

orth American 4-H m a y h a v e b ra n c h e d into everything from babysitting to robotics, but elsewhere it’s still back to the basics — producing enough food for the family.

Shannon Benner, CEO of 4-H Canada and chair of the Global 4-H Network, estimates that about 60 per cent of programs worldwide are focused on agriculture or food security. Food security is also high among the global network’s priorities, combined with sustainable agriculture to form one of the organization’s four “pillars” of youth leadership.

Kenya is among those countries where 4-H has taken a role in food security.

The countr y is expected to face “atypical high food insecurity” due to drought i n 2 0 1 7 , a c c ording to the Un i t e d St a t e s A g e n c y f o r International Development’s Famine Early Warning Systems Network. Already suffering from three years of unreliable rains, the failure of last year’s “short rains” season between Oc t o b e r a n d December is expected to cut maize production by up to 70 per cent below average.

In March, The United Nation’s Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported that over 2.7 million Kenyans were food insecure, with that number expected to reach four million by April.

Farmers in select regions of Kenya will also have more access to weather data as a result of 4-H this year, Mutemi said. A partnership with Globe Kenya and the Regional Centre for Mapping Resources for Development has provided five weather stations to be distributed to member schools. “ The good thing is that one weather station serves a radius of 10 kilometres, so all the schools within that radius are able to monitor online what the weather patterns are within the same ecosystem,” Mutemi said.

Testing the waters in Burundi Washington State University Ex t e n s i o n h o p e s 4 - H w i l l be similarly successful in Burundi, where the United Nations says over 417,000 have fled to avoid civic unrest since 2015. The violence has led Transport Canada to advise against all travel to the east African nation.

The university has partnered with staff in Burundi and nonprofit organization Trauma, Healing and Reconciliation Services (T.H.A.R.S.) to establish a school-based gardening program.

“They wanted to integrate a feeding system within the school program,” said Lauren

H r n c i r i k , a Un i v e r s i t y o f Washington Extension specialist. “There wasn’t a school feeding system. Nutrition is, obviously, one of the highest needs for the young children there in school and so this was a way to not only incorporate 4-H and life and livelihood skill development, but also

help them develop a school feeding program and teach some home gardening skills.”

The program’s curriculum was developed by USAID (the U.S. Agency for International Development) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

It includes concepts of composting, variety selection, field planning and other techniques to increase efficiency and yield.

Four schools have signed on with the gardening program since it was introduced in 2016 while Hrncirik and her colleague, Mary Katherine Deen, hope to eventually expand to all eight schools where T.H.A.R.S. has a presence.

“I think the thing that we’re doing that’s really unique is that I have been to visit Burundi, but we as an organization have never been to Burundi to tell them how to do 4-H. It’s definitely coming from the ground up,” Deen said. astockford@farmmedia.com

Vertical gardens In the midst of this concern, school-based 4-H clubs are carrying on with projects such as multi-storey vertical gardens, said Neema Mutemi, one of the Kenyan delegation at the recent Global 4-H Summit in Ottawa.

“If they water the top level of the garden, the water goes down into the second level and the third level… they design the gardens themselves and construct them, so they learn skills to innovate from that level,” she said.

Mutemi said such vertical gardens have popped up in low-income urban areas in Kenya, part of the “enterprise gardens” that each club is required to develop. Past “gardens” have focused on animal husbandry or other topics.

One of the more unique ideas introduced silkworm harvest.

“We try as much as possible to encourage them to develop the activities incrementally, so every year we want to see some progress,” Mutemi said.

“They should be doing something different than what they did in the previous year.”

To p p r o j e c t s a r e c h o sen by 4-H Kenya, with winning club members sent to tour a university agriculture department.

In 2016, 4-H Kenya signed an agreement with Njoro’s Egerton University to attach a g r i c u l t u re s t u d e n t s w i t h local clubs throughout the summer. The clubs will test agr icultural innovations introduced by the students and, if successful, those same projects will be published and introduced to local communities.

Study suggests ways to reduce soybean harvest losses Going slow and using an air reel are two important techniques

BY RON FRIESEN Co-operator contributor / Portage la Prairie

S

oybean growers can avoid major seed losses at harvest time by using air reels and driving combines no faster than four miles per hour, a new study says.

Air reels significantly decrease header losses, and between two and four miles an hour is the optimal ground speed for harvesting soybeans, says the study by the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute.

Of the two, ground speed is the more important, said Harvey Chorney, PAMI’s vice-president for Manitoba operations.

“If you go too fast, you miss too much,” Chorney said.

“You get a slight improvement with air reel versus no air reel. But the biggest factor that can affect what you’re leaving behind is your ground speed.”

Chorney spoke about the PAMI study during a recent tour at the CanadaManitoba Crop Diversification Centre sponsored by Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers.

The PAMI study estimates harvest losses in soybeans average around 10 per cent and can run as high as 15 to 20 per cent.

According to the study, 80 per cent of

soybean losses during harvest occur at the header. Soybeans are much lower on the stem than other crops and require slow speeds with flexible cutter bars and automatic header height control for reducing losses.

An auger header with no air reel can result in losses of 2.27 bushels an acre.

Running the combine at five m.p.h. instead of four m.p.h. can produce header losses of 2.18 bushels per acre.

With spot prices for soybeans currently running above $10 per bushel, farmers can lose a lot of money at the combine header, according to the study.

“This represents a significant profit loss and creates a large volunteer seedbed and additional management costs the following year,” it reads.

“Any effort to decrease the number of beans left behind in the field can make a substantial difference on the economic gain of the operation.”

The PAMI study says an air reel on a header can reduce seed losses by 1.25 bushels an acre, producing a saving of roughly $12.50 per acre when compared to an auger header without an air reel.

“This indicates that an auger header equipped with an air reel can provide substantial benefit in reducing losses and increasing profitability,” the study says.

As for ground speed, Chorney said the study found little difference between two, three and four m.p.h., although four m.p.h. was the “sweet spot” for minimizing seed losses.

But when ground speed exceeds four m.p..h, that’s where the difference happens, he said.

“You’re trying to get the pods over the knife into the back of the header. When you’re going up to four miles an hour, I like to use the analogy of scooping. You’re catching the pods with some velocity inside the header, which aids it crossing

the knife. That effect is good until four miles per hour. Once you get past four, what you start doing is stripping the pods off because you’re not cutting them cleanly.”

It’s also possible to lose seeds by going too slowly. Chorney said operating below two m.p.h. means you don’t have enough speed to get seeds caught within the header.

But maintaining ground speed at a certain level has to be balanced against practical matters, Chorney acknowledged.

He said he spoke with a grower who harvested soybeans last year at seven m.p.h. because he was in a rush and didn’t have time to go slower.

“I told him, do you realize what you’ve left behind?”

But the grower said he would have needed a million dollars for a second combine and couldn’t afford it.

“He realized he was leaving beans behind,” Chorney said. “But in order to get the crop off in the time window he had, he would have had to purchase a second combine. He needed 20 per cent more combine to get the beans off properly. But he was at that threshold where he would have needed two combines instead of one.

“I couldn’t argue with that.”

Federal government extends food policy discussions People now have until Aug. 31 to voice their views on national food policy Staff

C

iting a strong response from across the countr y, Agriculture and AgriFo o d Mi n i s t e r L a w re n c e MacAulay has extended the public consultations on a national food policy until Aug. 31.

“C a n a d i a n s’ re s p o n s e s to our online survey show they truly care about food issues. I encourage everyone to take advantage of the extended comment period, and I look forward to hearing from a variety of perspectives throughout regional consultations and c o m m u n i t y d i s c u s s i o n s.

Understanding Canadians’ priorities will be essential as we develop A Food Policy for Canada,” MacAulay said in a release.

The food policy process is designed to set a longterm vision for the health, environmental, social, and economic goals related to food, while identifying actions we can take in the short term, a federal release says. “We have reached out to Canadians to help shape the policy because we know that by working together, we can build a food policy that is a shared vision to address food-related opportunities and challenges in Canada.”

More than 22,000 Canadians have completed

the online survey launched on May 29.

The online survey is one of a number of consultation activities planned to engage with Canadians on this issue.

The federal government also wants community leaders and organizations to continue having food policy discussions in their own regions across the country.

A tool kit is now available online that can help organizers host discussions and gather feedback on what matters most when it comes to food policy.

Fo l l ow i n g a s u c c e s sful food policy summit held in Ottawa in June, the G over nment of Canada

w i l l b e h o l d i n g re g i o n a l engagement sessions across Canada throughout August and September.

Stakeholders, Indigenous groups, exper ts, and key policy-makers will be invited to attend these sessions and share their views on the development of A Food Policy for Canada.

A Food Policy for Canada, which will be the first of its kind for Canada, will help address food issues and pursue opportunities in areas related to four key areas: increasing access to affordable food, improving health and food safety, conser ving soil, water and air, and growing more high-quality food.

t was a slightly busier time for auction marts around the province as over 650 animals made their way to market during the last week of July. That compares to just 300 last week.

Feeder steers in the 400- to 500-lb. range fought to stay north of the C$200 (per hundredweight) mark. Steers in the 600- to 700-lb. mark were only slightly lower.

“There is a bearish tone to the U.S. market and we’re certainly going to feel that,” said Anne Wasko, a market analyst with Cattle Trends and Gateway Livestock.

She notes inventories in the U.S. are quite large right now which weighed on prices.

“Here in Canada, our Canadian dollar is strong, flirting with 80 U.S. cents which has played negatively into our local prices,” she added.

While the currency shows little sign of weakening any time soon, Wasko says the market isn’t ready to tank just yet.

She says the market has already come off the highs it saw this spring, so that might give prices a breather in the short term.

“As we head into August, the market, as far as fed cattle are concerned, could possibly chop sideways,” she explained.

However, looking into the fall, Wasko says the high herd numbers in the U.S., coupled with the currency and some other technical factors mean we will likely drift lower for a while.

Anne Wasko market analyst

“We have an idea on the direction,” she said. “I think the futures market has been trying to tell us that for a while.”

Feed conditions in Manitoba could be better as several areas need more rain for pasture and hay growth. At the same time, some parts of the province are reporting goodquality hay with average yields. According to the province’s latest crop report, pastures are showing some moisture stress with some ranchers having to move cows around or tap supplemental feed. Dugouts are over around 60 per cent full.

On the international front, Japan slapped a 50 per cent duty against U.S. beef on July 28. The move will only add to the problems facing U.S. companies which are trying to unload beef ahead of the fall run.

In turn, China halted meat imports from Australia temporarily, which prompted many countries to wonder who was next.

Prices for Australian cattle have fallen to their lowest levels since 2014 as farmers unload animals due to drought.

Organic ranchers eye Amazon distribution

BY ROD NICKEL Reuters

Amazon.com is seeking to expand distr ibution of organic and grassfed meats as it takes over Whole Foods Market Inc., according to the organizer of a meeting between the online giant and ranchers.

Analysts and investors have speculated that Amazon is aiming to combine its expertise in order fulfilment with the grocer’s facilities to build out delivery of fresh food, but the online retailer has not yet detailed its plans.

Amazon visited Georgia grass-fed meat producer W h i t e O a k Pa s t u re s i n March, 2-1/2 months b e f o re a n n o u n c i n g t h e $13.7-billion (all figures U.S. funds) Whole Foods

The retailer later asked the farmer to invite other U.S. livestock producers to discuss distribution of organic and grass-fed meat, Harris said.

Amazon declined to comment. “ We are excited about exploring possibilities with them,” Harris said. “It suggests that this niche in the market is becoming main-

stream enough that they feel their delivery system might have traction with it.”

U.S. sales of organic meat and poultry, worth $991 million, climbed 17 per cent last year, marking its fastest-ever annual growth, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).

White Oak and some of the other meat producers invited to the Atlanta m e e t i n g a l re a d y s e l l t o Whole Foods, Harris said.

T h e m e e t i n g b e t we e n producers and Amazon was confirmed by Carrie Balkcom, executive director of the American Grassfed Association.

White Oak workers pack frozen beef, duck and lamb into boxes at the Bluffton, Georgia ranch for couriers to pick up twice a day.

The drop reflected selling of long positions, the rally concerns over hot and dry weather Phil Franz-Warkentin CNSC

T

he ICE Canada canola market had a bit of a wild ride during the week ended July 28.

The November contract fell to its lowest level of the past month at one point before the brakes were hit on the drop and the market rallied $25 in three days.

Fund traders started the week sitting on a long position of about 30,000 contracts, and the early selling whittled that down to about 20,000 with some bearish chart signals adding to the declines.

However, concerns over hot and dr y weather mounted as the week persisted, and those fundamental issues brought speculators back to the buy side. Heat warnings were in place for much of Alberta and Saskatchewan, which should cut into the yield prospects.

The jury is still out on the size of the yet-tobe-harvested crop, but with expectations for a rather tight carry-out, best guesses say the market will need to work to ration about one million to two million tonnes of canola in the 2017-18 crop year.

With only a week left in the 2016-17 marketing year, the domestic crush just passed 9.0 million tonnes in the latest Canadian Oilseed Processors Association (COPA) report. That’s about 700,000 tonnes above the previous year’s total. The Canadian Grain

Commission data out during the week placed canola exports to date at 10.7 million tonnes, also about 700,000 tonnes above the 2015-16 pace.

As much as concerns over heat stress are underpinning canola, the situation is thought to be even worse south of the border.

A crop tour of U.S. spring wheat-growing regions during the week placed average yields at 38 bushels per acre, which would compare with the average of about 46 the previous year. The crop tour didn’t account for how many acres will be outright abandoned in the drought-stricken regions of North Dakota and Montana.

Canadian wheat crops are also dealing with some heat stress, but hard red spring cash bids in the countryside still lost ground as the Canadian dollar rallied sharply.

The currency settled at 80.34 U.S. cents on Friday, July 28, hitting its highest level in 25 months.

Soybeans and corn in the U.S. are also in the midst of the summer weather trade, with the day-to-day forecasts dictating the direction of the market. Forecasts calling for some much-needed rain and cooler temperatures were a bit bearish during the week, but both crops remain stuck in rather narrow trading ranges for the time being, with participants showing a reluctance to push values too far one way or the other until they get a better handle on production.

Canadian wheat bids decline with U.S. futures, rising loonie Both factors are weighing in to depress wheat prices

BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN CNSC

H

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada lost ground during the week ended July 28, as declines in the U.S. futures and strength in the Canadian dollar both weighed on prices.

Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were down by C$8 to C$11 per tonne across the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a crosssection of delivery points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about C$274 per tonne in western Manitoba, to as high as C$288 in eastern Manitoba.

Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but generally held steady to range from about $2 to $16 per tonne

Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were down by C$8 to C$11 per tonne across the Prairie provinces.

above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between the U.S. dollar-denominated futures and the Canadian dollar cash bids.

When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars (C$1=US$0.8034 as of July 28) CWRS bids ranged from US$220 to US$231 per tonne. That would put the currency adjusted basis levels at about US$41 to US$52 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 C$51 to C$65 below the futures.

Canada Prairie Red Spring (CPRS) wheat bids were down by C$13 to C$17 per tonne, with prices ranging from C$177 to C$188 per tonne.

Average durum prices were up

by C$2 to C$5 per tonne, with bids

in Saskatchewan coming in at about C$286 to C$316 per tonne.

The September spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, which most CWRS contracts Canada are based off of, was quoted at US$7.4050 per bushel on July 28, down by 25.25 U.S. cents from the previous week.

The Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, which are now traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPRS in Canada. The September Kansas City wheat contract was quoted at US$4.8100 per bushel on July 28, down by 15.00 U.S. cents compared to the previous week.

The September Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled at US$4.8100 on July 28, which was down by 18.25 U.S. cents on the week.

The Canadian dollar settled at 80.34 U.S. cents on July 28, which was up by roughly two-thirds of a cent on the week.

Producers explore the ABCs of do-it-yourself soil health tests The Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives has a few ways of determining potential problems that have nothing to do with a lab

By Alexis Stockford

“We have the ability to really investigate the soil ourselves.

You can use simple things like your senses — your sense of touch, your eyesight, your smell even, smelling the soil, listening sometimes for the presence of carbonates.”

Co-operator staff

T

he science behind soil health might be complex, but most of the tests showcased during the latest Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives workshop could be done with equipment bought from a dollar store.

“We have the ability to really investigate the soil ourselves,” Marla Riekman, land management specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, said. “You can use simple things like your senses — your sense of touch, your eyesight, your smell even, smelling the soil, listening sometimes for the presence of carbonates.”

Crop assessment and labgenerated test results played a part, but were not the focus of the June 27 workshop.

In one of the simplest tests for compaction, producers were instructed to take a spade of earth and drop it from waist height to see how it fractures.

Soil stability was met with a Slake test, wherein soil samples are submerged in a water-filled cylinder with a mesh basket, or an aggregate stability test, in which soil aggregates from different fields are separated into meshes (in this case, cheap colanders attached to a single handle) and dipped a set number of times into a waterfilled trough. Both tests compare sample breakdown and may indicate susceptibility to erosion.

Hydrochloric acid will fizz in the presence of carbonates and may be used to measure drainage, the group heard.

Carbonates in deeper soil have leached downwards with water and are thus a sign of proper drainage. Likewise, mottling (rust spots in the dirt) is a sign of frequent wetting and drying and may indicate improper drainage, Riekman said.

PVC pipe and plastic wrap also found their way onto the field to test infiltration. Plastic was placed inside a pipe entrenched several inches into the soil in order to stop splashing before water was poured in. Plastic was then pulled to expose water to the soil and infiltration was timed.

Riekman warned the test should be repeated several times, as the first will inevitably suck up water faster.

Producers may also add a second ring of PVC and saturate the space between pipes, she said, as this will ensure that water poured into the inner pipe must travel down rather than spread out.

Texture and soil type will influence water capac-

i t y re g a rd l e s s o f m a n a g e ment, she added. Sandy soils, for example, will not hold as much water as clay loam, although both can be managed to be a healthier soil within their type, she said.

Darker colours, the mark of high organic matter, may also be tracked through a Munsell Colour Chart, attendees were told.

“This is a new field, or a new interest that people have in trying to quantify health of the soil and we’re trying to go over a few of the simple tests that farmers or agronomists can do on their own,” John Heard, soil fertility specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, said. “The thing we’ve got to remember is that it’s different than other tests. It’s both chemical, which is like the traditional soil tests, but there’s also the physical aspects — so soil structure, compaction, prone to erosion, etc. — and then there’s the biological.”

While soil biology may start and stop at microbes for some, Heard also pointed to plant growth, types of weeds and insect populations.

Weeds may indicate different problems with the soil, attendees heard. Foxtail barley, one of Manitoba’s most common weeds, may actually be a sign of salinity while acidic soils may have a wealth of orange hawkweed, compacted soils may grow plants like pineapple weed, strawberries and dandelions may herald a lack of phosphorus and farmers with a pigweed or lamb’s quarters problem may want to cut back on nitrogen.

Showcased tests were relative measures, both Heard and

Riekman stressed, useful in comparing field-to-field samples or changes over time, but less scientific than lab tests.

“There’s no single measure for soil health and, for many of these, I think we don’t have standard book values for what a good number is,” Heard said. “We talked about 10 earthworms per square foot as a nice number, but we don’t have nice numbers for all these other practices.”

Growing on fungus In contrast, mycorrhizal fungi cannot be detected by the five senses, although organizers suggested that soil activity, including mycorrhizal activity, could be highlighted by burying a swatch of cotton and measuring decomposition — a nod to the “Soil Your Undies” campaign that spread through the Soil Conservation Council of Canada this spring.

The fungi have been tied to the ability of some plants to access phosphorus at early growth and have proven susceptible to soil disturbance, making them one of the often repeated arguments for reduced tillage.

Corn and flax, some of the most dependent crops on early phosphor us, may be stunted if they follow a nonmycorrhizal crop. The commonly termed “corn after canola syndrome,” occurs when fungi, dormant after a year under canola or other brassicas, do not activate in time to facilitate early phosphorus access.

Where are you testing?

While aimed at on-farm relative measures, topics also

veered into lab testing, proper testing procedure, an in-depth look at the services and methodology of various labs.

Attendees got a first-hand look at landscape variability as two holes less than 50 metres apart showed wildly different compaction, drainage, and black soil horizons.

“Measures like, say, soil carbon, organic matter, things like that, are extremely variable across the field and it takes a lot of samples in order to capture that variability,” Riekman said.

Researchers estimate that it would take 300-500 samples to eliminate all variability in a field, compared to the 15-20 recommended by Agvise Laboratories for composite sampling or benchmark sampling as suggested by the Manitoba Soil Fertility Guide.

Riekman advised sampling away from low-lying or saline areas as well as eroded knolls.

“L o o k a t t h e m i d - s l o p e.

What’s kind of most representative of the field?” she said.

“We still might want to know what’s happening at the top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill, but we might sample those ones separately.”

Tests for organic matter and nutrient levels are common, but a number of labs have begun to include microbial profiles, aggregate stability, root health, texture and pathogens, among other measures.

But while such tests give concrete numbers, both Riekman and Heard warned that results are not customized to Manitoba soils, which are young, glaciated, have slower mineralization rates and freeze for months of the year.

In one instance, she said, university researchers were advised not to apply additional nitrogen, but tests were based on soil far to the south.

The resulting crop failed.

“It’s not to say that these soil labs and things that are out there that do soil health testing aren’t useful,” Riekman said. “I think it’s still a bit of an immature science. We’re still working towards being able to have enough data coming from that side of information to really start creating recommendations, but we’re still a few years away from that.”

Organizers hope to bet ter translate test results for Manitoba in the future.

Wo r k s h o p a t t e n d e e s w e re encouraged to send samples t o va r i o u s e m e rg i n g l a b s.

Riekman says she intends to bring the group back together l a t e r t h i s ye a r t o a n a l y ze results.

Producer perspective “It’s just a lot to take in at one time,” Nathan Dmytriw said of the workshop.

Dmytr iw far ms nor th of Brandon and noted that discussions on compaction, microbiology, soil horizons and different testing techniques caught his interest.

Riekman and Heard noted that compaction risk was highest in moist, not wet, soils and that 80 per cent of compaction damage is caused in the first pass, giving credence to reduced traffic management plans, particularly on forage land which sees multiple cuts.

Linda Nielsen of Starbuck also said she found the day beneficial.

“We’ve got our son who’s going to farm probably someday. He’s doing a little bit of farming so we’ve got to take care of the land,” she said. astockford@farmmedia.com

Livestock premises ID participation strengthens Canadian agriculture Sites loading and receiving livestock will soon need a premises ID Staff

T

he Canad ian Food Inspection Agency is considering changes to the Health of Animals Regulations for livestock traceability, the agency announced during PremisesIDWeek July 26, a federal release says.

The changes would require all Canadian operators of premises where livestock may be loaded or unloaded from a vehicle to have a valid premises identification number for each site, and to report the number when receiving livestock.

“Being able to trace the movement history of an animal from one point to another will strengthen Canada’s ability to respond quickly to health threats and other emergencies. We encourage producers and stake-

holders across the supply chain to increase participation in livestock premises identification,” Lawrence MacAulay, minister of agriculture and agri-food said in a release.

The five Canadian provinces with mandatory premises identi-

fication are Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta – but all provinces and territories have systems in place to issue PID numbers.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), prov-

inces and territories, and members of the livestock industry are encouraging producers, farmers and operators in the Canadian livestock supply chain to participate in livestock premises identification.

Livestock traceability protects Canada’s livestock industry and the public’s well-being by strengthening the ability to respond quickly to disease outbreaks, food safety issues and natural disasters, the release said.

“Knowing where livestock are located and how to contact owners can reduce potential economic, social and environmental impacts to livestock operations,” the release said. Livestock traceability that uses valid premises identification numbers helps the industry to: • Rapidly notify registered livestock stakeholders;

• Prepare, manage and reduce the impact of animal health or food safety issues, such as diseases, fires or floods; • Track and trace animals in the event of an emergency; • Better manage emergencies to help maintain market access.

To get a premises identification number, operators need to provide the following information: location of the premises; animal species kept at the premises; the type of agriculture and food operations; and contact information.

Sectors such as poultry have already independently developed systems for collecting traceability information.

New or existing premises identification numbers should be shared with livestock traceability administrators, such as the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency or Pig Trace Canada, to initiate or complete registration.

BeefTalk: Precondition calves regardless of weaning time The well-prepared, preconditioned calf rewards the producer, the buyer and, most importantly, the calf

By Kris Ringwall NDSU Extension Service

N

ow is the time to start preparing calves for marketing with a sound preconditioning program developed in concert with your veterinarian.

Drier weather may mean selling this year’s calves earlier, so preconditioning your calves sooner rather than later makes good sense. Do not wait and, out of frustration, call the trucker and just send the calves to town.

Preconditioning calves prior to and at weaning is not a new concept. The North Dakota Beef Cattle Improvement Association’s “Green Tag” program from the late 1980s explained the need in a printed brochure.

“Preconditioning includes a complete health management program which prepares the calves to better withstand the stress and adjustment they need to undergo when they leave the home farm or ranch en route to the feedlot,” according to the brochure.

“Calves are castrated in most cases, dehorned, vaccinated against common shipping and feedlot diseases, treated for grubs and lice and have the opportunity to accustom themselves to water troughs and feed bunks. Additional practices are encouraged which include implants that stimulate the natural growth processes, complete herd health programs within the cow herd and strong relationships with professional veterinarians and animal scientists.”

During the last 30 years, none of these principles has changed (although I must admit the word “grub” does not come up very often in conversation anymore) because the common-sense benefits are real despite a list of excuses: lack of facilities, lack of labour and unwillingness to take on the risk.

In mid-July, the Dickinson Research Extension Center weaned a set of 45 calves, and today the calves are doing fine. The calves, while not happy, were in familiar surroundings with feed and water. During this critical acclimation phase, they slowly got on with life and were introduced to commercial feed to encourage good feed intake.

Walking past them just the other day, they were quick to run, but with a look back, they slowly came to the feeders.

This period is critical because every hour that passes when calves do not eat and drink increases the probability that they will descend into a sick pen. Whether vaccinated or not, the necessities of life must be met.

Calves will be stressed as they are moved through the marketing chain, so they need to know to stop and grab a drink of water and bite of hay to stay healthy. Scared, high-headed calves, unable

to slow down long enough to smell the feed and water, soon will become depressed, lowheaded calves on their way out.

The thought among some producers is if one moves the calves fast enough, the end destination will adapt the calves, as well as pay the bill for any loss. That may work for some, but the well-prepared, preconditioned calf rewards the producer, the buyer and, most importantly, the calf.

The principles in that old brochure are still the same today. Protecting calves is paramount. This protection focuses on preparing calves for a smooth transition to their new home, along with a good calf vaccination program to help the calf remain healthy once exposed to newly encountered pathogens.

Start with a pre-weaning vaccination protocol and revaccination at weaning.

Proper management enables cattle to withstand the daily issues of maintaining health and vigour, but a properly prepared and challenged i m m u n e s y s t e m t h ro u g h appropriate vaccinations is critical to total herd resistance to local pathogens.

The basic concept of immunity is relatively simple. The body reacts to foreign objects by d e ve l o p i n g d e f e n s i ve antibodies. The key to good health is to have the proper “antibody” response present within the living system to combat invading viruses, bacteria or other foreign substances.

Each antibody (or immunoglobulin, if you like big words) is very specific, only consuming or catching one type of invading substance.

This process is called vaccination and is the reason calves need to be vaccinated. All the vaccine does is prime the system so some day, in the event of a real invasion, antibodies are ready to be called into action. This priming vaccination generally is followed by a second booster vaccination to fine-tune the system into making very specific antibodies for each in scoming foreign substance.

With improved vaccinations available and more vaccination programs readily attainable, following the labels and protocols developed by the respective vaccine manufacturers is very important for producers. The end result is calves that can withstand the rigours of life without mom and adapt readily in whatever system the calf is placed.

No perfect preconditioning program, no perfect time to vaccinate, no perfect time to market exists, but as a producer, with the help of good professional health and management advice, the odds can be stacked in a favourable outcome for the calf.

Put antimicrobials, traceability, and biosecurity on your to-do list All three areas are undergoing changes that producers should be aware of, says the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association

T

here are things that beef producers need to look out for in the coming months when it comes to herd health and biosecurity.

“We do know that there are changes in play that will require all medically important antimicrobials to become prescription only,” said Rob McNabb, general manager of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

Some medically important products are still available over the counter — not just through veterinarians. This will change, although there are still ongoing discussions between the federal government and the provinces on some details. Ottawa has the authority to determine what is sold by prescription and what can be sold over the counter, but the provinces play a major role, too.

“It’s provinces that have the jurisdiction over the sale and distribution of veterinary pharmaceuticals,” said McNabb, who is based in Calgary.

Antimicrobials should be a major focus for all producers because of a growing public concern about antibiotic resistance and the threat that poses.

And while the beef industry does a pretty good job in using phar maceuticals the r ight way, there is always room for improvement, he said.

Veterinarians can be a big help in advising producers on the use of medications, and also in lowering the incidence of disease and health issues — but they need to know the operation, he added.

“We want people to be aware that if they don’t have a veterinary client/patient relationship, now would be a good time to get one,” he said.

Producers should also watch out for a finalized traceability system. Regulations governing mandatory premise identification and animal movement will be finalized next year.

“That’s a complex issue at the moment, because it requires both federal, provincial and industry collaboration in moving it forward,” said McNabb.

Another thing that producers should watch out for is biosecurity. It’s increasingly important to know where animals are coming from and their history, and to be cautious about introducing them to the rest of the on-farm herd, he said.

Biosecurity doesn’t stop with just the animal traffic, either — people are also important components of maintaining proper biosecurity.

Producers should be vigilant about who is coming to their farm, whether or not these people have taken proper precautions and might be bringing “problems” onto a rancher’s property, said McNabb.

“I think biosecurity is going

to be of huge importance as we’ve seen with other species that seem to constantly have something happening. A lot of it can be routed back to a lapse in biosecurity, whether it is PEDv in hogs or avian influenza in poultry.”

Biosecurity is a key part of the Verified Beef Sustainability Plus program (VBP+), which is going through another rebirth.

The program is also tied in with the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, which is expected to release the results of its pilot project this fall.

McNabb said the basic foundation of sustainability is in the VBP+ program, and that the program represents a minimum entry requirement to meet some of the demands of the global marketplace. akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

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

Models confident in high pressure Issued Monday, July 31, 2017 · Covering: August 2 — August 9 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

W

ith the exception of a few timing issues, last week’s forecast was pretty decent as high pressure dominated the picture, bringing with it the warmest weather of the summer. This forecast period looks to begin with a little break from the hot, muggy weather, though that break may be short lived as it appears likely that the hot weather will be moving back in.

This forecast period begins with our region under a predominantly northwesterly flow. An area of low pressure will be working its way to our southeast on Wednesday and should be out of our region by early Thursday. Behind this low we will see high pressure building in from the northwest, which will bring mainly sunny skies on Thursday and Friday along with seasonal temperatures and lower humidities.

Over the weekend this high will be well to our southwest, which will place us in a more westerly flow. A second area of high pressure is then forecasted to slowly move in from the west. Overall, we should see more sun than clouds

on the weekend, along with a continuation of seasonable temperatures. Expect daytime highs in the mid- to upper 20s with overnight lows in the low teens. We could see a few scattered showers and weak thundershowers over the first part of the weekend, as the southerly flow on the back side of this southern high pumps a bit more humidity into our region.

The western high will then move in by Monday bringing slightly drier air with it.

This second high will slide by and then stall out to our southeast early next week. It looks as though this will set up a fairly long period of warm, dry weather for next week. We’ll slowly see winds switch to the south or southwest during the week which will help to bring in warm air. Combine this with plenty of sunshine and we should expect temperatures to be in the upper 20s to low 30s # for much of next week, with little chance for any rain. # Usual temperature range for this period: Highs: 20 to 30 C, Lows: 10 to 16 C Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies during the 30-day period ending on July 26. Looking at the map you can see how the main storm track across the northern Prairies brought near-to above-average amounts of rain to northern agricultural regions. Scattered thunderstorms brought near-to above-average amounts to southwestern Manitoba along with south-central Alberta.

Elsewhere, hot and dry conditions prevailed with a large portion of southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and west-central Manitoba seeing less than 40 per cent of average precipitation during this period.

Textbook July, hot August?

Warm weather seems set to continue in August

BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

A

nother July has come and gone and overall, July 2017, was about as close as you could get to a textbook example of what July in southern and central Manitoba should be.

Most regions saw some heat during the month, but no really extreme heat. There were thunderstorms and showers scattered here and there, but with few exceptions we didn’t see much in the way of severe weather. We also had some cloudy and cooler days, though overall there were not very many of them as there were only a few days seeing overnight lows fall below 10 C. The first three weeks of July followed a pattern of cool upper lows and warm high pressure.

All three of our main regions experienced this pattern as a cool upper low would push through, bringing two to four days of unsettled and cool conditions. Then, high pressure would build back in allowing for temperatures to warm back up into the mid- to upper 20s, with the odd 30° day thrown in for good measure. Each time the heat built in we would see the odd thunderstorm roll through.

Not all regions or places saw

Adding up all the numbers and comparing them to the long-term average shows that the southeastern region of Manitoba, including Winnipeg, experienced near-average temperatures.

thunderstorms during July.

Likely the hardest-hit region was southwestern Manitoba, which saw several rounds of severe storms during the middle of the month.

When all was said and done for the month of July, it was pretty close to a perfect month.

Not too hot, not too cold, and timely rains (for the most part). Adding up all the numbers and comparing them to the long-term average shows that the southeastern region of Manitoba, including Winnipeg, experienced near-average temperatures. The airport readings for Winnipeg came in just below average for the month, while the downtown reading at The Forks came in a little above average. Farther west, the region around Brandon saw a mean monthly temperature for July that was about 0.5 C above the long-term average.

Temperatures in July were the warmest around Dauphin, with

a mean monthly temperature of 19.4 C, which was 0.7 C above average.

‘Average’ rainfall Precipitation during July was typical of summer rainfall, some regions saw just the right amounts of rain at just the right time, while other regions saw too much or too little rainfall.

Most of our summertime rainfall comes from thunderstorms and showers. Large outbreaks of thunderstorms will bring widespread rainfall, but smaller outbreaks of storms result in more spotty amounts.

If you look at this month’s precipitation map you can see that southwestern regions saw nearto above-average amounts of rain, thanks to several rounds o f s t r o n g t h u n d e r s t o r m s.

The north-central region also saw near- to above-average amounts of rain during July.

This is more due to this region’s close proximity to the main

storm track that cut through central Manitoba during much of the month.

When all amounts were added up for our three main locations, we see a bit of everything. The Winnipeg region received near-average amounts, with about 70 mm recorded.

The Brandon region was below average during the month with only 36 mm of rainfall. The region around Dauphin was the wet spot with a monthly total of over 100 mm.

Overall, if we had to summarize the month over all regions, I would say that we saw temperatures that were near to slightly above average with precipitation that was... I don’t know, near average in some areas, below in others, and above in a few other locations.

Looking back at the different long-range forecasts it would appear that every forecast got the temperature forecast correct as all of the different forecasts called for near- or aboveaverage temperatures. As for p re c i p i t a t i o n , t e c h n i c a l l y, depending on where you live, all of the forecasts were correct. The two almanacs called for a wetter-than-average July, Environment Canada called for near-average amounts, and the CanSIPS, CFS, and my forecast all called for below-average amounts.

Looking ahead Now on to August’s forecast.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac is calling for a warmer- and wetter-than-average August, but just by a little bit. The Canadian Farmers’ Almanac appears to be calling for nearaverage temperatures and precipitation as it mentions fair weather several times with only a couple of mentions of stormy weather.

Moving on to the CanSIPS model, it is calling for temperatures in August to be about 1.0° above average with southwestern regions being the warmest.

The heat will be accompanied by near-average amounts of rain. The CFS weather model is calling for a cool start to the month and then predicts the heat to build back in giving us above-average temperatures overall. Precipitation is forecasted to be below average.

Over at Environment Canada, it is calling for above-average temperatures and below-average rainfall. Finally, my forecast, or educated guess, is calling for the heat to build back in after a brief cool-down to start the month. Along with the heat will come several rounds of thunderstorms which will give us similar results as July – some areas will see just the right amounts of rain while others will be either too dry or too wet.

CROPS Dufferin’s tile drainage bylaw a ‘template’ for others The Red River Basin Commission is currently guiding development of a tile drainage bylaw template based on the RM’s work

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff / Carman

R

ural municipalities are responsible for controlling drainage, and a few years ago the RM of Dufferin realized that needed to include tile drains.

Former reeve, Shawn McCutcheon saw tiling becoming more widely adopted, and could see need for a made-in-Dufferin approach to managing it, said current reeve, George Gray.

“We knew it was going to take on a life of its own. He did research in Ontario and the U.S. and in the absence of a provincial plan we knew we had to do something.”

Gray spoke at the Manitoba Planning Conference earlier this spring about why Dufferin adopted its own tile drainage bylaw and described its effect on the municipality.

Theirs is a relative rarity, despite the fast-paced adoption of tile on agricultural land throughout the rest of Manitoba.

Gray said a webinar hosted by the Red River Basin Commission (RRBC) this past February revealed that perhaps about 15 per cent of municipalities actually have something in place to manage tile drains.

Those that have them have a longer history of installations, and they differ in scope and specific details.

The RM of Dufferin’s bylaw is comprehensive and lays out a clear set of rules and regulations.

Gray said it was not developed to put up hurdles to tiling agricultural land — quite the contrary.

“There are a number of misconceptions of tile drainage which initiate concerns around allowing tile to be installed,” he said. “But tile is one of the best tools farmers have at their disposal and it has a very positive future in agriculture.”

But it also needs to be carefully managed, he stressed. “Like all things in life, good policy and good management are the tools to success.”

Written plan needed Some of the specifics of Dufferin’s policy include the requirement that

anyone wanting to tile land must first provide a written proposal to the RM, citing where they plan to drain, be it municipal or provincial drains. Site inspections are done and agreements signed that state ditches will not be deepened nor altered, nor pipes liable to collapse installed beneath municipal roadways.

Licensees sign minor works agreements with the RM, rendering the landowner responsible for all ditch work in consultation with the RM. The bylaw also lays out guidelines for tile installation specifications.

This summer Dufferin has had as many as a dozen new applications to review.

Ultimately, what they’re trying to do is keep ahead of this while balancing the needs of farmers with those downstream landowners. The RM has obligations to all ratepayers, Gray said.

“We want to make sure the licensees know where the water is going

“We’re only too willing to share this with (other municipalities) to help them along.”

George Gray reeve RM of Dufferin

and that there are other ratepayers in the RM involved,” he said.

Gray told municipal leaders not to be afraid to formulate policies of their own.

“Anything that’s unknown is fearful and any time you fear something you don’t want to deal with it,” he said.

“We’re only too willing to share this with (other municipalities) to help them along.”

The RRBC is now guiding development of a tile drainage bylaw template that will be based on the

RM of Dufferin’s. The province’s Tile Drainage Interdepartmental Working Group will be one of several stakeholder groups providing input.

The group was formed last August and was put together because municipalities in Manitoba are looking for information about tile drainage and its regulation, said the group’s chair Sheri Grift, a land use specialist with Manitoba Agriculture.

The working group currently has eight members representing the provincial departments of Sustainable Development, Manitoba Agriculture and I n d i g e n o u s a n d Mu n i c i p a l Relations.

Its job is to co-ordinate provincial tile drainage initiatives, as well as knowledge across departments and assemble and communicate technical information, Grift said.

The theory of (price) relativity Truly understanding how the basis works can help you with your marketing plan DAVID DERWIN

AVERAGE CANOLA BASIS VERSUS PRIMARY ELEVATOR STOCKS: 10- YEAR AVERAGE

hile there are always opportunities in the d a i l y, w e e k l y a n d monthly price fluctuations of an underlying commodity, there are also potential profits in the less well-known fringe areas of the markets.

Last month’s article discussed the spread between different futures delivery months and how keeping a close eye on prices along the futures curve can improve your marketing decisions and hedging strategies. This month we look at the benefits of gaining a deeper understanding of basis levels and how it too can help enhance your marketing plan.

Basis and futures spreads react to similar market factors — essentially whether the market wants your grain now or in the future. Basis is just the difference between a local cash price and a futures price.

The local basis level is often a negative number since it reflects pricing differences between your cash commodity relative to the delivery specifications referenced in the futures contract including: • Local supply and demand factors; • Transportation and handling; • Grade or quality differences; and • Storage opportunities and carrying charges.

Just as the velocity of money is an economic term used to describe how quickly money moves around the economy, basis levels can be thought of as an indication of the velocity of grain moving through the elevator pipeline system.

When velocity is slow, grain stocks build and the basis price level decreases. When velocity picks up, grain stocks drop and the basis price level increases.

Seasonal patterns This grain velocity has its seasonal biases. Based on research from John DePape at FARMCo., the accompanying chart compares average 10-year primary elevator stocks to the canola

basis in the Par Region in central Saskatchewan. It illustrates the classic relationship between supply and price.

The chart shows a 52-week canola crop year from the beginning of August (Week 1) to the end of July ( Week 52).

As canola elevator stocks build at harvest, the basis (in blue) reaches its lows coming in to September/October (Week 10) and then gradually improves as elevator stocks (in red) begin declining near Week 13 of the crop year. From there, basis typically climbs as canola stocks dwindle until the next crop year when this process starts all over again.

While this basis behaviour is quite strong year after year, seasonal patterns are only tendencies and won’t necessarily work every year. However, being aware of basis levels at different times of year can help improve your selling process.

Basis volatility Not only does basis have its own seasonal pattern like many commodities, the basis price also has its own level of volatility. This basis level fluctuation

can have a significant impact on the overall price you receive for your grain. Once again using research from FARMCo., you can see that in the table called “Canola Basis Range as a % of Price Range,” the overall top to bottom price range for canola futures varied from as much as $148/tonne to as little as $87/tonne, with an average of about $177/tonne in the past few years.

Meanwhile, the canola basis fluctuated from as high as $58/ tonne to as low as $32/tonne, with an average $40/tonne over the same past four crop years. The basis volatility averaged around 36 per cent of the range of the underlying canola futures contracts. Clearly it pays to pay attention to the basis levels.

Keeping track So how can you best track your basis levels?

One method is to use your own historical data and track your own price experience to figure out if and when basis levels are high or low in your specific area.

A good third-party resource is www.PDQinfo.ca, which provides average cash and basis levels for five commodities across nine Prairie regions. I’ve always found it to be quite reflective of the basis levels when speaking with farmers across the Prairies.

Most of the commodities on PDQ have related exchange traded options and futures contracts: • Canada Western Red Spring, which is priced off the Minneapolis hard red spring futures contract;

• Canada Prairie Spring Red, which is priced off the Kansas City hard red winter futures contract; • Canola, with the associated futures contract on the ICE Futures Canada exchange.

The other two commodities are Canada Western Amber durum wheat and yellow peas, neither of which have any futures contracts.

Another important factor that is imbedded either explicitly or implicitly within the basis level is the C$/US$ exchange rate.

This is especially true when dealing with commodities like wheat or soybeans that have US$ based futures contracts.

This is where it can get confusing since different grain companies factor in the exchange rate in different ways.

However it’s quoted, just make sure you crunch the numbers yourself so it makes sense to you. And remember, you can use Canadian dollar options and futures contracts to manage some of the basis risk that results from the currency fluctuations.

Bottom line, it helps to think in relative terms. Compare the current cash or deferred delivery bid to the futures prices. Look at the steepness of the three-month versus the six-month futures curve.

Understand how currency is factored in to the basis. Always be aware of these opportunities to not only capture those extra profits in the basis or along the futures curve, but also to avoid poor price levels that aren’t in your favour. Sometimes it makes sense to get paid to wait by earning those carrying charges that compensate the farm hedger for storing grain or deferring delivery.

Canary seed prices might see modest rise Wild price swings based on the weather seem a thing of the past

By Terry Fries CNSC

W

ith canary seed prices languishing at around 22 cents per pound, Kevin Hursh said it’s no surprise that few farmers are taking buyers up on those offers.

Hursh, a canary seed grower and executive director of the Canar yseed Development Commission of Saskatchewan, said analysis done for the group

suggests on-farm supply is the big wild card that may yet affect prices.

Determining exactly how much old-crop canary seed remains in storage has always been difficult, he said.

Hursh said canary seed has traditionally been a speculative crop so many farmers have a tendency to hold on to it, waiting for price jumps before selling. However, that scenario no longer appears to apply.

“Canary seed is kicked around

somewhere between 20 to 30 cents (per lb.) most of the time during the past 10 years. It hasn’t seen any big spikes like we’ve seen previous to that,” he said.

“Previously, if we had a drought, there would be a spike, no question.”

Farmers may be waiting to see what’s happening with the crop in the field this year before deciding whether to sell.

Hursh said this year’s canary seed crop will be short. Canary seed is a surface-rooted crop

that doesn’t do well under dry conditions. However, he also pointed out that the worst-hit regions in the south of the province are not traditional canary seed-growing areas.

The largest growing area, the west-central region, went into this growing season with plenty of soil moisture, although conditions in some fields are starting to dry out, he said. The No. 2 growing area around Regina and Moose Jaw also had good moisture reserves, but the situ-

ation is worsening as each day passes without rain. In the northeast part of the province, there have been good growing conditions.

Still, Hursh said, there is good reason for farmers to hold out for better offers.

He points to high prices for many other crops, like durum and feed barley and dramatically higher spring wheat prices as an indicator that the market should be willing to pay for canary seed.

Soybeans looking volatile as U.S. weather improves The November contract price is softening as crop conditions improve

By Dave Sims Commodity News Service Canada

F

avourable rains may have eased concerns about heat stress on the U.S. soybean crop but the technical bias appears pointed lower, rather than higher, according to a market watcher.

“It looks like something north of $10 (a bushel) will be expensive (for the November c o n t ra c t ) ,” s a i d Br i a n Rydlund, market analyst at CHS Hedging in the Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

During the week ended July 26, the dominant November contract lost 12.25 cents to hit the US$10-a-bushel mark.

Rydlund says the market is feeling some pressure from recent rains in the U.S. Midwest and indications Au g u s t w i l l b e s o m e w h a t cooler and wetter than July.

“It looks like the trade has sold off on that idea,” he said.

He says in the near term, the November contract could fall to the US$9.50 mark. After that, it could hang around for a bit or drop even lower.

“If the weather breaks right I wouldn’t be surprised to see something in the low nines by the end of August,” he said.

He said the corn market is hanging around the lower end of its recently established range.

During the past week, the most-active December contract lost 10.25 cents to fall to US$3.86 a bushel.

Rydlund pegs major resistance in the December contract at US$4 to US$4.05 per bushel and floor support at US$3.75 to US$3.80.

“Farmers obviously don’t like the prices,” he added.

The market has a tough time getting bullish without the extreme heat to fuel it, according to Rydlund. He notes that whenever the rain falls, futures drop back into the lower end of their range.

Another feature in the m a r k e t h a s b e e n C h i n a’s recent auction of its state corn reserves. The sales have pushed a few million tonnes of corn into the Chinese market but Rydlund says it might not hurt the overall market too much.

“Over the long term, people could view it as friendly, if they (China) don’t have the stocks themselves they could have to turn to the (world) market for supplies,” he said.

Still, if the cor n market appears soft to some, Rydlund says it’s difficult to see the bottom coming out any time soon.

“We’re not going back to US$3.20 (a bushel) like last August,” he said.

Grain Transport Monitor to remain independent The function won’t be rolled into the Canadian Centre on Transportation Data for the foreseeable future

BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

T

ra n s p o r t Ca n a d a i s negotiating a new threeyear agreement that will keep the Grain Transport Monitor in operation separately from the new Canadian Centre on Transportation Data (CCTD).

T h e G r a i n Mo n i t o r i n g Program, operated by Quorum Corp. of Edmonton, was set up in 2001 to provide independent, third-party monitoring of the grain sector, a Transport Canada spokesman said. The department oversees it in partnership with Agriculture Canada.

There had been speculation the grain monitor would be folded into the CCTD, which would be doing similar work

on the whole transportation system. Shipper groups have supported the concept of transportation data collection to find the pinch points in the system.

Announced in the spring budget, Transport Canada will launch the CCTD this fall jointly with Statistics Canada to provide “high-quality, timely and accessible information” on the state of the transportation across the country. Other participants in the CCTD will be provincial governments, other federal departments, industry, educational institutions and others with expertise or data to share in the area of transportation.”

The Emerson report called for an Integrated Data Platform and Multimodal Data Dashboard to facilitate transport collection and

processing. It recommended the new agency be housed in the Canadian Transportation Agency.

Transpor t Canada said the CCTD will “serve as an authoritative source of data and information on the transportation system in general.”

Tra n s p o r t Ca n a d a a n d StatsCan “will work together with other stakeholders in the transportation sector to establish a comprehensive, authoritative source of multimodal transportation data and performance measures,” Transport Canada says. “Other participants would include other levels of government, other federal government departments, industry, educational institutions and others with expertise or data to share in the area of transportation.”

The goal would be to pro-

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

The government decided to create CCTD as a federal agency to foster information brokering, Transport said.

“This will be done by encouraging co-operation, data sharing and increased availability of authoritative and consistent data and information to relevant stakeholders to support decision-making on transportation.”

CROP REPORT

Harvest commences for fall cereals, grass seed Manitoba Agriculture crop report, issued July 31, 2017 Weekly summary Winter wheat and fall rye harvest is underway, as is grass seed harvest.

Many regions in the province are below-normal precipitation and would benefit from rain.

Most of the Southwest and Northwest received less than five mm of rain over the past week. Heat unit accumulation is generally near normal.

The majority of spring-seeded crops have finished flowering and are in the podding and grain-filling stage. Haying continues throughout the province.

Hay land and pastures are showing signs of moisture stress.

Southwest Region Temperatures were warmer than normal for much of the week. In most of the region rainfall ranged from zero to five mm, but upwards of 20 mm fell in the Mountainside and Ninette areas. Most of the region could use moisture.

Winter wheat and fall rye are getting close to harvest. Preharvest applications continue to be made this week.

Peas are starting to turn and the hot weather has caused some of the top pods to ripen prematurely.

Ce re a l c r o p s a re s h ow ing the effects of the heat and dry weather. Several fields are starting to ripen prematurely.

Fusarium head blight levels are very low this year.

In canola, 90 per cent of the fields have finished flowering.

There has been some flower blast.

through the region, although the high temperatures along with higher nighttime temperatures are expected to negatively affect yield potential. Crop condition ranges from good where adequate soil moisture exists to fair in drier parts of the region.

The majority of the spring wheat crop is heading and entering into the milk/dough stage. Some early-seeded spring wheat fields are turning.

Northwest Region

Ra p i d c ro p g row t h a n d advancement has been seen with warmer-than-normal temperature and high humidity. Rain and thundershowers were extremely variable throughout the region.

Clearwater had the most rainfall with 42 mm, but most of the region had less than five mm.

Some lodging remains in cereal crops from storms last week.

Some crops are ripening prematurely due to lack of rain, especially in areas with gravel and sand ridges, and areas with salinity. Rain is needed for grain fill in much of the later-maturing crop, especially corn and soybeans.

The Northwest Region had high temperatures through the week and while crops are advancing, the effects of heat stress are showing up. The hot weather brought thunderstorms over the weekend with precipitation amounts ranging from five to 20 mm across the Swan Valley, 17 mm around The Pas, and trace amounts through the Dauphin and Roblin areas. Some hail and high winds were reported southwest of Roblin and through Minitonas but damage has not yet been determined.

Crops are advancing quickly

Central Region

insects, very few insecticides have been applied.

Spring wheat is at the softdough stage. Corn is at the tassel stage. Canola is in the pod-filling stage with only lateseeded or reseeded canola still flowering. Canola condition remains good to excellent.

Forage seed crops are being swathed, and har vest has started. Stands look good, and average to above-average yields are expected.

T h e m a j o r i t y o f c e re a l s are growing well. Harvest has begun in fall rye and winter wheat.

Staging for pre-harvest applications in cereals has started.

Interlake Region Temperatures soared to as high as 32 C this past week.

Crops are advancing quickly with the heat. Corn heat units and growing degree days are near normal for the region.

Fungicide applications on canola and wheat are nearing completion, however, spraying on some late-seeded crops is still in process. Canola in many south Interlake fields has entered pod stage while most canola in the north Interlake is still at late-flowering stage. In early-seeded canola the seeds are green but firm.

Soybeans are mostly in lateflowering to early-pod-development stage (R2-R3). Soybeans are being closely monitored for aphids.

Eastern Region Rainfall accumulation varied with 10 to 15 mm of rain in central and northern districts while only isolated showers with minimal accumulations occurred in southern districts. Warmseason crops advanced rapidly with the warm weather. Soil moisture conditions on cropland across the region are rated as 10 per cent surplus, 80 per cent adequate and 10 per cent short. Soil moisture conditions on hay and pasture land are rated at 60 per cent adequate, 20 per cent short and 20 per cent very short. The driest soil conditions are in the southern districts.

KAP wants U.S. farmers held accountable for misrepresented grain Delegates want to know if the same penalties apply to U.S. farmers who break the rules

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff / Brandon

T

he Americans are pushing for their wheat to be graded the same as Canadian wheat when delivered to a Canadian elevator.

That prompted a resolution to the Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) to investigate the consequences and possible penalties for American farmers who misrepresent grain they deliver to a Canadian elevator.

“The reason we brought this to KAP is there is another organization out there in Western Canada — it seems like it wants to open up the border to all American wheat,” Ridgeville farmer Les Felsch told KAP’s advisory council meeting July 13.

“If we want to continue the integrity of our Canadian quality in our hard red springs and all of our wheats, we have to have some way of not necessarily discouraging American wheat from coming in, but guaranteeing that any wheat that is delivered into the class that they claim it is they have the same penalties… as we have.”

Canada has a reputation for selling high-quality milling wheat. Maintaining that reputation requires the quality and consistency of Canadian wheat classes be protected.

To t h a t e n d , w e s t e r n Canadian farmers must sign a declaration pledging the wheat they deliver is eligible for the class of wheat for which pay-

ment is being requested. If a farmer breaches the declaration, the grain company can sue the farmer.

Same rules KAP wants to know if American farmers who deliver wheat to Canadian elevators are subject to the same rules as Canadians delivering south of the border.

“When I deliver grain to the U.S. it’s a little different scenario. I get a lesser price for my product than what the U.S. producer can get for his, due to the fact that they claim they can’t come after me on this side of the border if I misrepresent what I deliver to them.”

Currently American wheat c a n b e p u rc h a s e d by a Canadian elevator, but it’s ineligible to receive a Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) grade, even if the wheat variety is registered for production in Canada. The new Canada Hard Northern Red (CHNR) wheat consists of several American Dark Northern Spring wheats registered for growing in Canada, including Faller, Prosper and Elgin ND. American wheat is only eligible for the lowest CGC grade in the CHNR class, which is feed.

However, the Canadian government and Canadian Grain Commission say there are no rules blocking Canadian elevators buying American wheat and paying the full value based on its specifications.

Ca n a d i a n p r i m a r y a n d terminal elevators are not required to segregate

American wheat, the CGC’s manager of corporate information services, Remi Gosselin, has said in previous interviews. But Canadian wheat exports that include American wheat must be declared as such.

The U.S. Wheat Associates claims disqualifying American wheat varieties registered to grow in Canada from getting a CGC grade is illegal under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) because it unfairly discriminates against American wheat.

T h e We s t e r n Ca n a d i a n Wheat Growers Association (WCWGA) and Cereals Canada agree. Both are urging the federal government to amend the Canadian Grain Act to accommodate the U.S. They fear not doing so could disrupt Canadian wheat exports to the U.S., which is a major market.

The previous Conservative government included the necessary amendments twice in bills that never were passed.

Lowe Farm farmer Butch Harder said it doesn’t make sense to want more foreign wheat to be imported into Canada.

“I think the real reason is they (WCWGA)… always have to discredit our quality control system and kind of neuter the grain commission,” Harder said.

KAP debated a total of nine resolutions at its July 13 meeting, passing eight of them.

The seven others that passed are as follows: • K AP will lobby the Public Utilities Board to review feasibility test requirements to create more opportunities for rural natural gas expansion.

• KAP will lobby the Manitoba gover nment to increase

crop damage compensation from waterfowl to 100 per cent. KAP will also lobby for increased hunting bag limits on geese and/or ducks to enable proper population control.

• KAP will lobby the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to re-establish the protocol that livestock trucks coming from the U.S. are sealed at the border and sanitized at a facility in Manitoba with the equipment and expertise to combat porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv). Since the protocol was lifted, PEDv has spread in the province and more than 50 cases have been reported.

• KAP will lobby the Manitoba government to find alternatives for weighing trucks transporting pigs, or to initiate a system of cleaning and sanitizing scales as they could be a source of PEDv infection.

• KAP will lobby the Manitoba government to allow tendering for ditch mowing on specific stretches of road for multiple years.

• K AP will seek to work with its sister organizations in Manitoba and Saskatchewan to investigate poor tire quality.

• K AP will present a summary of its financial reports at advisory council meetings rather than going over them line by line. However, an indepth review of financial statements will continue at KAP’s annual meeting. allan@fbcpublishing.com

4-H kitchen heats up at Manitoba Summer Fair

Junior and intermediate cooks had already proved themselves with regional wins by the time they donned their aprons at the provincial championships in Brandon

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

F

fion and Nia Devonald are award-winning chefs, and they aren’t even in high school yet.

The pair — and their herb and tomato rendition of the grilled cheese sandwich — took the junior title during the inaugural 4-H Manitoba Food Challenge Provincial Championship June 10 in Brandon.

“We’ve baked with our family for a while, but only for the last year or so we’ve actually started cooking on our own, like meals and stuff on our own,” 11-yearold Nia Devonald said.

The pair beat out Andrea Rousson and Dylan Williment from the Oak Lake Busy Buddies Club for first.

For the duo from the Laurier Lucky Charms 4-H Club, the we l l - k n ow n cooking show “MasterChef,” which the competition was modelled after, was among their major reasons for competing.

“We both like challenges,” her nine-year-old par tner said of the competition. “We thought it would be fun and we got a lot of advice from a whole bunch of cooking shows that we usually watched.”

The 2017 Manitoba Summer Fair formed the backdrop for the competition as six junior teams and four intermediate teams went head to head in the kitchen, each fresh off a win at the regional level.

Taking inspiration from its reality cooking show inspiration, 4-H provided a feature ingredient to be included in all dishes. All teams were required to use Smak Dab Mustard, produced by Carly Minish of Swan River, herself a 4-H alumnus.

Winners were judged on teamwork, communication, taste and presentation.

“We thought that it would be a good way to have our members learn some different skills and, for those who are taking part in food projects, to give them a chance to show off what they’ve learned,” program coordinator Courtney Newton said.

For the Devonald team, cooking is something that has, until this year, been separate from 4-H. Nia, who joined the club five years ago, has focused her efforts on horsemanship while Ffion was attracted to beef.

Intermediate winners In the intermediate category, Ashlyn Whetter and Lauren McEvoy were the hometown heroes, hailing from Alexander, Man., about a half-hour to the west.

The pair’s vegetable beef soup beat out Souris’s Alysa Remillard and Emily Speers of the Stoney Creek 4-H Beef Club.

“I didn’t really know what to prepare for,” McEvoy said. “I wasn’t really prepared to make a soup, but that’s what we ended up doing, so it was kind of just a big surprise going in.

We didn’t know what to expect because it’s the first time either of us had gone to a provincial competition like this.”

“We both like challenges. We thought it would be fun and we got a lot of advice from a whole bunch of cooking shows that we usually watched.”

developed their cooking skills at home and decided to join forces when news of the competition broke.

“We’re really encouraged in our 4-H club to get involved in the events surrounding the area and to try new experiences, so we thought, ‘why not?’” McEvoy said.

Newton claimed the challenge’s first year as a success and said that 4-H Manitoba hopes to make the food challenge an annual event.

Brainstorming on potential changes and recipes has already begun, she said.

Art challenge While the Manitoba Summer Fair hosted the end of the

food challenge, the provincewide 4-H art competition has just got underway. Clubs have been asked to submit canvases focused on 4-H and its evolution as part of Canada 150 celebrations.

“So far, we’ve had good response from our clubs,” Newton said.

The public voted on canvases in both Brandon and Lundar over the second weekend of June. The Roseland South Brandon 4-H Club, Poplar Hill 4-H Club, Lundar 4-H Beef Club and Lundar Happy Hands will move on to the provincial championship, to be decided at Brandon’s Ag Ex in October. astockford@farmmedia.com

Prairie fare Be creative with zucchini You can make a lot of different menu items with zucchini

BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

“

M

om, there’s a cucumber,” my daughter noted. “Here’s another one and another one.”

I was a little surprised at her comment because I hadn’t planted any cucumbers.

I had planted the prolific cousin of the cucumber.

You definitely can see the family resemblance when they are hiding under some foliage.

“They’re zucchini,” I said. “And here’s another one.”

I was thinking these dark- and light-green summer squash would grow to the size of inflated baseball bats if we didn’t harvest them soon. In fact, zucchini can grow to three feet in length. As they grow larger, their flesh becomes tougher and they have more seeds.

Cucumbers and zucchini belong to the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae. If this plant family had a reunion, it would occupy a produce warehouse with hundreds of family members.

Zucchini season has arrived, so let the jokes begin. You might want to lock your car or you might find some green gifts on the passenger seats.

Ladies, don’t carry a big purse or you might discover it is heavier when you get home.

Although developed in Italy, zucchini also has a French name: “courgette.” That’s sounds more exotic and appetizing than yet another name: “marrow.”

Accept zucchini gratefully. You can make a lot of different menu items with it.

Zucchini is very low in calories because it is made up of 95 per cent water. One cup of chopped zucchini has just 21 calories, 1.5 grams (g) protein, 0.4 g fat, 4 g carbohydrate and 1.2 g fibre.

Try these different ways to use zucchini: • Add zucchini to your grilling menu. Rinse, then slice zucchini into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Place in a bowl, then add a small amount of canola or olive oil. Mix. Sprinkle with your favourite seasonings, such as garlic powder, pepper or Italian seasoning.

Grill zucchini over medium-low heat for three to four minutes per side. Use a perforated grilling pan (so the zucchini doesn’t fall through the grate). You also can slice zucchini lengthwise, brush with oil and cook over the grates.

Zucchini doesn’t always get the respect it deserves, considering what a prolific nutritional powerhouse it is.

Zucchini season has arrived, so let the jokes begin. You might want to lock your car or you might find some green gifts on the passenger seats.

• Fill the zucchini. Slice larger zucchini in half to form long “boats,” then remove the seeds. Cook in boiling water until tender.

Drain well, then fill the cavity with your favourite leftover casserole or taco meat and bake until heated through. Top with cheese and return to the oven until the cheese melts.

• Make zucchini noodles. Rinse but do not peel two small zucchini. Make zucchini noodles by slicing into thin strips with a knife or vegetable peeler. Discard seeds.

You also can purchase special equipment such as a “vegetable spiralizer” to make zucchini noodles.

Zucchini bread 3-1/4 c. all-purpose flour 1-1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. ground nutmeg 2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 3 c. sugar 1 c. vegetable oil 4 eggs, beaten 1/3 c. water 2 c. grated zucchini 1 tsp. lemon juice

1 c. chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Heat oil in a skillet. Use 1 tablespoon oil for 2 cups of zucchini noodles. Sauté for a couple of minutes. Add 1/4 cup of water and cook for about five minutes.

• Use it in baking. Use grated zucchini in baked goods, such as bread and muffins.

• Extend foods. Add grated zucchini to meat loaf or meatballs to keep the recipe moist.

Use about 1 cup of grated zucchini per pound of ground meat.

• Preserve the zucchini. Freeze zucchini by slicing or grating. Blanch in boiling water for one minute if grated or three minutes if sliced. Allow to dry, then package in freezer containers. Label with contents and date.

Note that zucchini may become watery during the freezing process. After thawing, drain the excess liquid.

• E at the squash blossoms. Zucchini blossoms can be added to soup, salads, quesadillas and many other foods. You can dip the zucchini blossoms in tempura batter and deep-fry them; however, this adds a significant amount of calories.

However, if you eat the blossoms, they won’t form more zucchini!

Here’s an old favourite that makes a tasty breakfast with scrambled eggs, orange juice and a cup of coffee.

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine oil, eggs, water, zucchini and lemon juice. Mix wet ingredients into dry and add nuts. Bake in two standard loaf pans, sprayed with non-stick spray, for one hour.

Stockton, Man. cowgirl wins MHSRA Queen title Growing up with horses, Milagh Sattler drawn to rodeo

By Darrell Nesbitt Freelance contributor

F

inding her way into the high school rodeo family made Milagh Sattler of Stockton, Manitoba feel like she had a place to belong.

Growing up with horses, the little farm girl, now a Grade 10 graduate from Glenboro School, has always had a passion for rural life, sharing farm duties with her parents, Mike and Sheilagh Sattler, and her four siblings.

Si n c e 1 9 9 5 , the Manitoba High School Rodeo Association (MHSRA) has provided an area to not only ride horses, but also excel in competition in and out of the arena. Now, Sattler has set her sights on reigning as the MHSRA Queen, as the provincial 2016-17 season comes to an end on home soil, but opens to a whole new world at the National High School Rodeo Finals (NHSRF) down south.

If one can’t ride, there’s really no purpose in being in the competition, as horsemanship plays a key role.

“Our horsemanship has to be as good as any cowboy’s,” Sattler said.

“Striving to get an upper edge, I ride daily with sister and mentor Mikaela, practising horsemanship requirements to excel in barrels, poles, breakaway roping and goat tying.”

The former horseshow participant with jumping in the mix, she captured the rodeo bug, finding that the MHSRA has been so much more than what she thought it would be. Having met so many amazing people with the same interests, it has allowed Sattler to reach many goals.

Although the Canadian queen com-

petition doesn’t reach the richness and royalty as it does throughout the U.S., it takes a special person to earn the title each year. Being involved in the queen competition, it takes more than athleticism, as the contest involves so much more.

“When I joined the MHSRA, Sarah St e m m e r o f Mi n n e d o s a , w a s t h e queen,” said Sattler. Conversations with Stemmer prompted Sattler to look at the other side of rodeo, gaining confidence with each smile, each wave and each discussion with fellow members.

MHSRA not only promotes rodeo at the high school level, but also junior high, and recently introduced the Lil Buckaroo program welcoming students from K to Grade 5 to become a cowboy by riding a calf, tossing a lariat or tying a goat.

Fo r Sa t t l e r, ro d e o h a s b l e n d e d her into a hard worker, with school, chores and competition, being among the responsibilities, and says, “My dad and mom play a huge role, helping me through the bad runs and cheering loudly through the good ones.”

Bachelor buttons — an old-time favourite Years ago these bright flowers could be seen in almost every rural garden

By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

W

hen many people hear the term “bachelor button,” they imagine a summer-flowering annual with true, clear-blue flowers. It has long been a favourite in rural gardens and bright patches could be seen growing here and there among the vegetables or in drifts in flower borders.

While today’s bachelor buttons — like so many other common annuals — have undergone extensive hybridization so that the plants you now see hardly even look like the original old varieties, happily the old type of bachelor buttons (centaurea cyanus) can still be grown from seed.

In fact, seed them once and you may never have to buy seed again as this is an annual that likes to self-seed prolifically. The plants grow about 60 cm tall and have narrow green leaves. The flowers, which can be pink or white as well as blue, are borne on thin sturdy stems held above the foliage.

Bachelor buttons demand full or almost full sun locations and will get rangy and require support if they are subjected to very much shade.

They are resilient plants that keep going during dry spells and are not easily damaged by wind or rain. They can tolerate some frost so will not be harmed by late-spring frosts or early-fall cold snaps. They are best planted in clumps or drifts; in large rural vegetable gardens, patches of seedlings can be left when spring tilling is done so that the garden will have bright patches of colour all summer long. All bachelor buttons attract pollinators, which is very beneficial in the vegetable patch.

Besides the annual bachelor button, there are also a couple of perennial bachelor buttons.

One is centaurea montana, a plant that produces flowers that are similar to those of the annual, except that they are about three times the size. The flowers are deeply fringed and spidery in appearance. They are dark blue with violet centres and are borne on sturdy stems that are somewhat thistle-like in appearance.

The plants are rather coarse looking and grow close to a metre tall. The foliage appears downy and the leaves resemble those of the thistle.

Centaurea montana is a tough plant that self-seeds but can also be propagated by root division. It is a very

forgiving plant and will grow in some of the most inhospitable spots in the garden as long as there is lots of sun.

Deadheading will prolong the bloom period, which occurs in early summer and lasts about a month. The flowers emerge from brown artichoke-like buds that are held well above the foliage. After the bloom period the plants become rather unattractive and many gardeners cut them back, which sometimes results in a second blooming in early fall. Perennial bachelor buttons make good cut flowers —

Centaurea macrocephala (Yellow Puff).

as do the annual types. Some people might recognize these plants by one of their common names: mountain bluet or blue cornflower.

Another perennial bachelor button, not quite as common as the blue one, is what many call “Yellow Puff.”

Officially named centaurea macrocephala, this plant produces round fluffy flowers composed of deep-yellow petals. The flowers emerge from large, intricately bracketed buds and after the flowers have gone past, the seed pods, dark brown in colour, remain

attractive. Many gardeners leave the seed pods on the plants to add interest to the winter landscape but they also can be cut and used in dried flower designs. Yellow Puff likes the same growing conditions as other members of the bachelor button plant family.

They are tough, easy-to-grow plants that are drought resistant and undemanding of soil type. The plants have deep taproots, develop into large clumps but are not invasive; they do self-seed.

Both of these perennial bachelor buttons are rather coarse plants that do not look their best late in the season.

Grow them where they will be viewed from a distance or will be hidden from view by other perennials later in the season — perennials whose foliage remains attractive well into the fall.

Bachelor buttons of all kinds are easy-to-grow plants that demand little maintenance.

They produce good colour and can be used in locations where many other plants may not flourish. Consider including bachelor buttons, either annual or perennial, in your landscape next year.

Reena answers more questions Plus, S’mores with a twist reena nerbas Household Solutions

Hi Reena, I am having a problem with a squirrel that persists in digging in my flowerpots and has even managed to overturn one of my geranium pots. Is there anything I can use to discourage the squirrel from doing this, like garlic buds or something of that order? Thanks ve r y m u c h f o r y o u r h e l p.

— Susan Dear Susan, What works for one will not necessarily work for all squirrels; here are the most effective solutions to try. Begin by d i s t r a c t i n g y o u r f u r r y friends with a bowl of storebought food made specifically for them. Place the bowl far enough away from the pots but close enough that they will see their food. Wrap chicken wire over plant pots and make holes for the plants. They are unable to chew through the wire. Or secure large rocks over the soil making sure that they cannot lift the rocks.

Human hair, blood meal, dog fur and fox urine are options but seem to lose their effectiveness after a few weeks.

Here is one of my all-time favourite solutions for squirrels that like to dig; push the handle of several plastic forks straight down into the soil — squirrels don’t like the feeling of plastic fork tines on their cute little feet.

Hi Reena, I have maple hardwood flooring (approximately one year old) and along one wall in my dining room the hardwood is feeling a bit tacky. I was wondering if you have a suggestion for removing this. I have used a very damp cloth to clean and Roberts Multi-Purpose Flooring Cleaner a couple of times. The floor is not exposed to the sun and I am baffled as to why this only happens in that one area of the room. I appreciate any solutions you can offer. — Margaret Hi Margaret, The most common cause of sticky hardwood floors is high humidity or improper ventilation. As the room becomes humid the coating on the floor softens; therefore, investing in a dehumidifier is a smart idea.

With regards to floor cleaner — look for a product that specifies that it is formulated to remove buildup on floors.

Dear Reena, I am in desperate need of some advice to deter rabbits.

Someone told me that you said vinegar and mouthwash are needed to get rid of garden pests. Will this work for rabbits?

Thanks. — Kim Dear Kim, The best way to repel rabbits from chewing your plants is with a two-foot (or higher) fence or wrapping at least the trunk of plants with chicken wire. When it comes to the garden, here are a few hints to try. Surround the garden with milk jugs lined with

out of a milk carton or jug to protect each plant.

Lastly, keep rabbits from eating your garden by scaring them.

Fill mason jars three-quarters full with water; add a drop of dish soap to each jar. Line jars along garden one to two feet apart and place on top of foil pie plates. The water reflects the sun off the jar and the foil. The dish soap changes the surface tension of the water so that mosquitoes cannot lay eggs.

S’mores with a twist Add excitement to the basic combination of graham wafer cracker, melted marshmallow and chocolate with these adventurous ideas!

sand. The idea is that rabbits will chew on the jugs instead of your plants. As well, suspend aluminum pie plates around plants to keep rabbits away.

Or sprinkle one of the following around plants or shrubs: bags of human hair (from your local hair salon), or bone meal or shave bars of Irish Spring soap or add turkey manure in with the soil.

Homemade Rabbit Repellent: Into a spray bottle mix 1 tbsp. baby shampoo and 1 tbsp. household ammonia and 1 quart water. Spray plants every three days.

Or soak corncobs in vinegar for five minutes and then place them throughout the garden or under shrubs.

Resoak corncobs in vinegar after two weeks.

When planting your flower beds, mix thyme, spearmint, daffodils and/or eucalyptus in with your flowers. Rabbits don’t like the smell and often won’t pass by to get to your yummy flowers. Some people had success with burying fabric softener sheets under plants. Around newly planted vegetables, bury a collar cut

• Instead of using graham wafer crackers for S’more treats try store-bought chocolate chip or Oreo cookies or York Peppermint Patties.

• Most S’more fans like a solid piece of chocolate between graham wafer crackers, but here are a few more options: Consider almond chocolate or caramel chocolate or bananas, blueberries, strawberries, Hershey’s Kisses or Hugs, mini M&Ms, peanut butter cups or mini Kit Kat chocolate bars as substitutes. ***NOTE: Every user assumes all risks of injury or damage resulting from the implementation of any suggestions in this column.

This Old Elevator

I

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A wooden elevator at Holland was built in 1927 by a local co-operative working with Manitoba Pool Elevators. Its modest 50,000-bushel capacity was enlarged with a squat 75,000-bushel balloon annex in 1952 and a taller 85,000-bushel crib annex in 1958. The elevator was renovated thoroughly in 1982 and the balloon annex was removed around 1994. It survived the transfer to Agricore in 1998 but closed in early 2001 and was demolished in December 2003.
