estern Canada’s grain industr y moved a re c o rd vo l u m e o f grain in the 2016-17 crop year that ended July 31 and is gearing up to ship this year’s crop, expected to be the smallest in four years.

Export terminals at Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Thunder Bay put through 35.945 million tonnes of grain last crop year, according to the Grain Monitor’s week 52 report, exceeding the 2014-15 record of 35.76 million.

The number doesn’t include domestic consumption or shipments to the United States.

The final number could change, but a new record is certain, Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corporation, the firm hired to monitor Western Canada’s grain-handling and transportation system, said in an interview Aug. 18.

“Overall I think it’s the biggest year we’ve seen in tonnes moved,” he said.

Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Thunder Bay terminals unloaded a record 399,203 cars shipped from country elevators versus 384,782 in 2014-15.

The Western Grain Elevators Association (WGEA) is pleased with the rail service its members, which include the West’s

major grain companies, received, executive director Wade Sobkowich said in an interview Aug. 16.

“The railways need to remain on their game whereas before (when rail service suffered) we might have said they needed to get on their game,” he said.

CN Rail did an excellent job moving grain to export all last crop year, while CP Rail struggled earlier, but picked up the pace the last half the year, he said.

“We would expect the railways to continue servicing the grain industry as they have been,” Sobkowich said.

“They have been performing well and we are looking at a crop that is smaller than it was last year so we have greater confidence that they are going to do that. In addition we have C-49, (federal legislation) which we expect to pass in the early fall, hopefully, and then shippers will h a v e m o re t o o l s t o h o l d

the railways to those service standards that they have already been achieving.”

The WGEA estimates Western Canada’s crop at 60 million tonnes, down from last year’s 76 million tonnes — the West’s second-biggest crop behind the 77-milliontonne record set in 2013.

Railway officials said last week they are ready to move the 2017 crop.

new study suggests breeding plants with a thicker layer of leaf wax is the key to greater drought tolerance and growing crops in more arid regions.

Sarah Feakins, a scientist at University of Southern California who has studied leaf wax in the context of climate change, teamed up recently with researchers at Texas A&M University to research and develop d ro u g h t - re s i s t a n t c ro p s.

During tests growing winter wheat the team found that the cultivars in a high and dry area of Texas generated more protective wax on their leaves as a measure to protect themselves against more extreme conditions.

The results mimicked what scientists have found in leaves in natural ecosystems: Those that survive in dry climates have higher concentrations of wax. “ Wa t e r c o n s e r v a t i o n depends on innovation, and in this case, we are hoping to find one solution by identifying the traits in this important food crop that would enable the wheat plants to

tolerate drought and still produce plenty for harvest,” said Feakins.

The study was published in the journal Organic Geochemistry.

All plants produce wax that helps their leaves repel water and shield the plant from insects and the elements, said Feakins, who has studied climate history of the Earth through the geochemistry of leaf wax in sediments.

F o r t h e s t u d y, t h e researchers grew test plots of winter wheat in two different areas of Texas. They found a trend where moisture stress caused greater leaf wax generation — an increase of nearly 50 per cent in one plot.

“We see a strong effect in the higher and drier location,” Feakins said. “We see the plants adapt to their environment.”

Dairy to be contentious As the first round of NAFTA talks wraps up, government reaffirms commitment to supply management

BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

C

anada’s minister of agriculture says concessions in non-supply-managed commodities will not be offered up to U.S. negotiators as a way to ensure the security of Canada’s dair y industr y during the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

“I’ve never heard that said except in the media,” said Minister Lawrence MacAulay, following an announcement at the Un i ve r s i t y of Manitoba last week. “We’re all aware of what NAFTA has done for the agricultural sector in particular — quadrupled the trade — and there’s no question when you travel and you talk to people in Canada and the U.S., they want to m a k e s u re t h a t N A F TA continues the expansion of trade within the three countries.”

American President Donald Trump has taken aim at Canada’s supplymanaged dair y industr y in the past, indicating he believes Canada is taking advantage of far m ers in the U.S. and that Canadian dair y policies are a “disgrace.”

While aspects of those comments concern MacAulay, he reiterated his government’s commitment to and support of supply management.

“The government supports it, the Ministry of Trade, the prime minister, foreign affairs minister

and we’ve got able negotiators at the table,” he said.

“I would certainly expect that supply management will do quite well.”

Manitoba’s agriculture minister also commented on the newly launched trilateral talks, acknowledging that dair y is always a contentious issue when it comes to trade negotiations. “ We know it’s a large part of our economy and one that’s very important t o u s ,” M i n i s t e r R a l p h Eichler said. “We have a good relationship with the United States and I think we can build on that relationship. It wasn’t perfect before and it won’t be perfect when we finish but we certainly always gotta be ready to have that conversation to benefit trade.”

airy research in Ma n i t o b a h a s g o t a $1.4-million boost.

Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay a n d Ma n i t o b a A g r i c u l t u re Minister Ralph Eichler made the announcement at the University of Manitoba last week, indicating the cash will be used to retrofit an existing hog barn for dairy research at the Glenlea Research Station, just south of Winnipeg.

“It’s about the research and the technology,” Eichler said.

“The world is changing each and every day so we want to make sure we’re always ahead of the curve... to make sure we modernize in a new way so that the students and that the dairy sector are in tune with what those changes may look like.”

G over nment funding for this project will be provided through the Growing Forward 2, Growing Innovation, but Dairy Farmers of Manitoba is also making contributions to the barn renovation project.

“Dairy Farmers of Manitoba is proud to invest in the renovation of the Glenlea Research Station dair y barn, to further expand our support of dair y scientific research i n Ma n i t o b a ,” s a i d He n r y Holtmann, vice-chair of the producer organization. “We have long understood the value of investing in research to advance our industry by continually providing milk of the highest quality, excellence in animal care, and improving environmental stewardship.”

Kees Platzier, professor of dairy management and nutrition, said the existing dairy barn at Glenlea was opened in the 1960s and no longer represents what a modern dairy barn looks like.

“We’ve been able to do very g o o d a n d we l l - re c o g n i ze d re s e a rc h i n t h e re, b u t o f

course for our research to be representative and of benefit to the industry we need... upto-date production facilities,” Platzier said. “We’ll be working with milking robots and especially in Manitoba that is technology that is being used a lot and advanced very quickly.”

Precision monitoring and feeding systems will also be studied in the barn, which will provide students with hands-on learning and re s e a rc h o p p o r t u n i t i e s a s well. “ We’r e w o r k i n g w i t h a variety of companies to do research on that too, so we

can give management recommendations to the dairy industry,” he added. The barn will also include free stalls for dairy cattle, dedicated spaces for calves, milk collection tanks, above-ground manure s t o ra g e, n e w f l o o r i n g a n d related laboratory equipment.

The ministers added that the new equipment will help e n s u re t h e f a c i l i t i e s m e e t industry standards and supp o r t t h e g row t h o f va l u e added dair y processing in Manitoba, noting the dairy industry in Manitoba generates over $250 million in farm gate revenues.

“Our gover nment understands the key importance of science and food research to keep our agricultural sector on the cutting edge,” said MacAulay. “This investment will contribute to a robust Canadian dairy industry and help meet growing demand for high-quality, sustainable food, while strengthening the middle class.”

The project is expected to go to tender later this year. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

The taxman cometh

C

anadian farmers could soon be swept up in a looming taxation crackdown.

The Trudeau government has promised to lower the boom on what it characterizes as the abuse of private corporations by high-income individuals to avoid taxation.

Doctors have been especially vocal in their condemnation of the move, saying they have forgone fee increases in negoGord Gilmour tiations with provincial governments in Editor exchange for the right to incorporate and lower their tax burden.

Now they’re decrying that what one level of government gave, another took away. With somewhere around two-thirds of Canadian doctors incorporated, it promises to fundamentally alter the economic reality of many doctors.

Lost in the busy summer season, however, has been the potential impact on farmers — about one-quarter of farms are incorporated. Edmonton-based accountant Allan Sawiak, of Kingston Ross Pasnak LLP, has been sounding the alarm in a recent letter to clients and farm groups.

In the document, Sawiak notes what he describes as “shocking” changes that will affect various strategies an increasing number of farms use to manage their tax burden.

There’s “income sprinkling” which sees a corporation gain revenue, rather than an individual, and then splitting that income among family members in the form of salary or dividends, which serves to lower the overall tax bite.

The government says that in the future these payments will only be valid if family members are shown to have earned it either through their labour or through capital investments in the corporation. In particular, they’ve said they’ll be watching very closely payments made to children between the ages of 18 and 24.

So-called ‘passive investments’ are also under the gun, which refers to making investments in stocks and bonds through a business, rather than individually, and therefore paying a lower tax rate in the end.

The feds also say they’ll be cracking down on the use of the lifetime capital gains exemption, which shelters more than $835,000 of capital gains in qualifying small-business shares. Currently business people and their financial advisers are able to use the exemptions of many family members to protect capital gains from taxation. Once again, younger family members seem to be the target of the proposed changes.

Sawiak also notes that a proposed grace period for capital gains exemption may provide some relief, but will also create issues of its own, including boosting the amount of tax paid under the ‘alternative minimum tax’ system.

Perhaps most troubling for farmers is that the government appears to be proposing to crack down on the very concept of incorporating a small business like a farm. The federal government is proposing a crackdown on transactions that would prevent any transaction that creates income at a lower tax rate.

Sawiak notes in his letter to clients that the proposals “... are broad enough that they could apply to common situations like selling farm assets to a corporation.”

It’s clear, according to financial professionals, that these changes aren’t small potatoes. They’re a fundamental alteration in the way that professionals and small business owners can use incorporation to manage their affairs.

Alan Acton, an Ontario-based financial adviser to doctors and finance columnist, recently noted the proposals fundamentally call into question whether there will be any benefit in the future to incorporation.

That would seem to dovetail nicely with the government’s goal and may placate some who feel the wealthy are given tax advantages that most Canadians cannot access. But it’s a simplistic analysis of the situation.

The truth is most of the people setting up a corporation are operating in a far different environment than most salaried and hourly employees.

They’re taking more risk. They’re funding more for themselves, such as retirement saving and other benefits like medical care.

They therefore claim they need the structure of incorporation to do so.

Critics of the move warn of the risk of pushing out well-trained and mobile professionals and the chilling effect on entrepreneurship. They also note many of the affected may simply close up shop and move — something that’s not an option for a farmer.

For farmers perhaps the greatest risk is that the proposed changes now throw a lot of doubt on succession plans set up under the old rules. Many of these will now need to be revisited and perhaps revised.

The changes are set for this fall and farmers need to understand them, respond to government, and make sure their financial houses are in order.

The government is currently seeking input up until an Oct. 2 deadline.

While the timing is terrible, this might be important enough to park the combine long enough to write a letter. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Let me translate

BY ALAN GUEBERT Farm & Food

N

o one you know says “John Deere” when they mean “tractor.”

Of course, you might get away with these vague and misleading substitutes when talking to the non-farming public because most people don’t know Deere & Co. makes a lot more than tractors.

Intentionally doing so, however, is neither vague nor misleading. Intention makes it lying, and lie is what the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) now recommends employees do when discussing climate change.

According to internal memos published Aug. 7 by the British newspaper The Guardian, the government agency would like some staff members to refer to “climate change” as “weather extremes” and “climate change adaption” as “resilience to weather extremes.”

These less-than-subtle suggestions sound harmless to a casual consumer. To scientists they are loaded with ambiguity and political misdirection.

Interestingly, The Guardian story appeared the same day the New York Times published a draft report from 13 U.S. government agencies on climate change that stated without equivocation, “Evidence for a changing climate abounds ...”

The Times story all but put a spotlight on the USDA effort to downplay and mislead the public about climate change and its impact on American agriculture.

Perhaps acknowledging how foolish USDA looked by doing so, Tim Murtaugh, a USDA “spokesman,” told the website Politico “... it was unclear why career officials behind the memos had raised the issue to staff.” What may have been “unclear” to Murtaugh appears quite clear to others.

For example, here’s how Politico explained

OUR HISTORY:

T

what it saw the day after the USDA story broke: “President Donald Trump has long questioned the existence of climate change, once calling it a ‘hoax’ perpetuated by the Chinese...”

The Trump White House, Politico added, also “pulled the U.S. out of the Paris climate deal and changed climate change-related web pages for EPA and other government agencies to reflect its skepticism...”

Those actions might not constitute a clear “directive” but they clearly show which way the wind blows.

There’s another unmistakable link between the Trump administration’s view and USDA’s misleading terms in discussing it with the public: Sam Clovis, Trump’s nominee to be USDA undersecretary of research, education and economics.

Clovis, you may recall, labels “climate change ‘junk science’ and ‘not proven.’” He also has spent most of the administration’s first 200 days at USDA as “Trump’s top political operative” there, reports veteran ag journalist Chuck Abbott.

Whether that’s a complete coincidence or not, Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue was feeling enough heat over all the steamy USDA climate news that he interrupted his trip around the Midwest to, once again, “fully support” the Clovis nomination despite his controversial statements around race, trade unions and former president Obama.

Linking the former president to communists, labour unions, and progressives likely would earn Trump, Perdue, and Clovis a cup of coffee at most farm town cafés.

Denying climate change, however, and whitewashing its lasting effects will earn them nothing but scorn from our grandchildren because, as farmers and ranchers well know, the climate has changed even if folks at USDA, the White House, and the local café lack the integrity to admit it.

August 1891

he front page of the August 1891 issue of The Nor-West Farmer, And Miller featured this engraving of milking on Dr. Barnardo’s farm near Russell. Dr. Barnardo was founder of a controversial British organization to help destitute or orphan boys by sending them to work on farms in Canada, but was later seen as a cruel program that took advantage of them as cheap labour. A website run by British Home Children in Canada, also known as “Barnardo Boys,” says the Barnardo farm was about 3-1/2 miles from Russell along the Assiniboine. The farmhouse was built in 1887-88 and could house 100 boys with rooms for officers and offices, laundry, bathrooms, hospital, store and kitchen.

Today’s Manitoba government apparently has similar objectives to the government in 1891, but the editor was not impressed, perhaps for self-serving reasons. “While everyone wishes to see economy in the public service, there is no need for penuriousness. Last year the Manitoba Government supplied each of the crop correspondents with a dollar agricultural paper. This year each correspondent is to get a book, the retail price of which is 40 cents.”

He then when on to write about the regrettable participation of young men in farmers’ institutes.

“It is sage to say that the ablest institute lecturer in Canada could not hold some of these young men in their seats for two minutes... “No opportunity should be let slip by the directors of institutes to do all in their power to attract their sons and younger neighbours to these meetings, and ‘compel them to come in’ until their ranks are filled.”

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Protect supply management Dairy and poultry products are subsidized in some way or another the world over

BY ED FAST Member of Parliament

W

ith negotiations on a new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) presently underway, it is appropriate for Canadians to ask: Whither supply management? Supply management ensures that producers receive a reasonable return on their investment, and that consumers have access to a steady supply of safe and healthy dairy, chicken, turkey and egg products, at a reasonable price, that takes into account the farmers’ costs of production.

Supply management has regulated the production and sale of these products for over 40 years, and there is little, if any, evidence that the system has made dairy, egg and poultry unaffordable for the average Canadian. Admittedly, supply management focuses on regulating domestic production, and as such, is not necessarily synonymous with free trade. Yet most of Canada’s international competitors who produce these products, including the U.S., European Union, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand, also protect their industries to one degree or another.

The United States, for example, provides billions of dollars of subsidies to its dairy industry, providing an unfair advantage over other dair y-producing countries. The European Union, as another example, recently reinstituted price control mechanisms to counteract a dramatic decline in global dairy prices – which

came on top of an already generous subsidy to its dairy farmers under the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy.

Even in countries such as Australia and New Zealand, governments have been forced to bail out farmers who risked going bankrupt due to declining world market prices.

The bottom line: There is presently no level playing field which ensures that everyone plays by the same rules and prevents protectionist policies from being used to provide some countries with an unfair trade advantage. The only forum within which a fair and level playing field can be assured is the World Trade Organization (WTO), which is comprised of 164 countries. Until and unless all of the world’s major economies work together at the WTO to provide a clear and enforceable set of rules governing the international trade in dairy and poultry products, Canada’s competitors will continue to seek unfair advantage over our own farmers. Supply management prevents those competitors from doing so. And to be clear: our supply management system fully complies with all of the current rules set out by the WTO. In the run-up to NAFTA renegotiations, U.S. President Donald Trump has recently referred to our system of supply management as a “disgrace,” no doubt wishing to “soften up” our trade negotiators. And yet, there is absolutely no reason for Canada to put its supply management system in play during these negotiations. The U.S. has no intention of eliminating its subsidies to its own farmers,

and simply wants to gain additional market access in an attempt to deal with its own problem of overproduction, to the detriment of Canadian farmers. Indeed, Canada is already the second-largest importer of American milk, importing five times the volume of dairy goods it exports to the United States. The massive size and clout of the American dairy and poultry industries is such that many Canadian farmers fear an Americanization of our farms and the products they supply.

It is true that in recent free trade negotiations with the European Union and within the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Canada did make minor concessions around the margins of supply management to provide modest increases in imported dairy and poultry from those countries. While they did come with some impact on Canada’s farmers, these concessions did not measurably impair the overall security and viability of supply management. In return, Canada received commensurate concessions in other elements of our trade relationship with those countries. At no time did Canada ever place its system of supply management on the table. Indeed, prior to Canada joining the TPP, the U.S. aggressively sought to impose preconditions for Canada’s entry into those negotiations which would have seen us sacrifice our system of supply management forever. We assertively, and quite successfully, resisted those efforts and joined the TPP without prenegotiating any elements of the final agreement.

Canada’s supply-managed farmers have a right to be concerned about the future of their farms. During her remarks to the Standing Committee on International Trade on August 14, 2017, Minister Freeland studiously avoided any assurances that Canada’s system of supply management would not be on the negotiating table with the Americans. The Liberal government also recently appointed former Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney as an envoy to the Trump administration, primarily to promote Canada’s interests in the renegotiation of NAFTA. Mr. Mulroney has not disguised his dislike of supply management and has mused that perhaps it’s time to end the system. Similarly, other luminaries within the governing Liberal party, such as former deputy prime minister John Manley and Martha Hall Findlay, have advocated for the dismantling of supply management.

Despite Prime Minister Trudeau’s past lip service in support of supply management, he has yet to confirm that dismantlement of Canada’s system of supply management will not under any circumstances be on the table for negotiation. I call upon him to now make that commitment to our farmers and to the millions of Canadians who want to continue to enjoy a steady, affordable and healthy supply of Canadian-produced dairy, chicken, turkey and eggs.

‘Group think’ let market watchers down Markets were surprised by the latest optimistic yield expectations for corn and soy from USDA

BY KAREN BRAUN Reuters

F

armers, traders, and analysts alike were left shocked after the U.S. Department of Agriculture published its optimistic corn and soybean yields earlier this month, though the market’s narrow expectations going into the Aug. 10 report may carry some of the blame.

Analysts were looking for USDA to lower the U.S. corn yield to 166.2 bushels per acre (bpa) from the long-term trend of 170.7 bpa.

They also predicted a decline in soybean yield to 47.5 bpa from the trend of 48 bpa.

The agency did reduce corn yield – to 169.5 bpa – above the highest of the 22 estimates collected by Reuters. However, USDA somewhat blindsided the soybean market by increasing yield to 49.4 bpa.

But should anyone have really been surprised? This is the third year in a row that USDA’s August corn and soybean yields blew out the top end of the trade range of estimates for both crops.

Otherwise, that had only happened one other year in recent decades – 2001.

The ranges of analyst estimates were very narrow and specific,

which is suggestive of a “group think” heading into the report.

The soybean range was just 1.1 bpa, the smallest in at least 15 years. The corn guesses were the least variable in several years, and the top end of the range indicates that analysts were sure of a yield cut larger than two bpa.

Analysts are generally better at predicting USDA’s yields for its September update rather than the August one, but before they submit their soybean number next month, they might want to ask themselves: ‘am I too low?’

September Historically, analysts miss the September number to a lesser degree than they do in August, but they have been missing the September soybean yield by increasing margins over the last several years, yet another hint that soybeans are being underestimated.

In the last 10 years, USDA reduced soybean yield in September four times. But all four of those reductions also followed cuts in August – clearly not applicable to 2017. And final soybean yields have not been lower than the August estimate since 2010.

Further, final bean yields over the last three years came in five per cent, four per cent, and 12 per

cent, respectively, above USDA’s trend. Considering all these factors, the hesitation of analysts to push their estimates of the final crop over trend is a bit bizarre.

There is absolutely valid reason to believe that U.S. soybean yields will not break records this year – but to not anticipate any upside from the trend seems somewhat negligent. In fairness, one of the 19 estimates provided in this category was above 48 bpa and one other matched 48 bpa, but the remaining 17 were below.

As I write this column, most of the U.S. Soybean Belt needs a good, soaking rain and weather forecasts suggest these rains may be on the way for many places over the next several days. If the moisture comes to fruition and the pattern stays wetter for the rest of the month, analysts might want to put a placeholder for record soybean yields in 2017 in the back of their minds.

Based on the later stage of the corn crop relative to soybeans and the current conditions, USDA may actually realize some downside to corn yield next month.

The agency has reduced yield in September six out of the last 10 years.

And final corn yields have been higher than USDA’s August number only three out of the last

10 years – completely different than the tendencies for soybean yields.

Avoidable surprises?

The weather has been highly variable across the U.S. Corn Belt and Soybean Belt this summer and crop condition scores are at the lowest levels since the droughtravaged 2012 season. This perhaps explains the mob mentality of market participants heading into the USDA report.

As of Aug. 6 – the Sunday before the August report – some 60 per cent of each crop was in good or excellent shape, a few points below the normal amount. But these ratings are not alarmingly low, nor do they indicate that USDA will definitely cut yield or that the final yield will fall below trend.

The U.S. agency had twice before increased corn yield in August with crop conditions lower than the current ones, so there was some precedent for a higher bias. And the fact that weather forecasts were firm on a favourably cool bias for the first half of August should have also been a signal for analysts on both corn and soybean possibilities.

It must be considered that the root of the issue may not lie with market analysts, but rather with

USDA. If the agency’s estimates have topped all market predictions three years in a row now, is it setting the initial trend expectations too low, suppressing analysts’ guesses and making the August projections look higher than they really are?

The long-term trend yields that USDA publishes are derived by the agency’s World Agricultural Outlook Board. In August, the agency’s statistics arm, National Agricultural Statistics Service, begins producing yield estimates based on both field and farm operator surveys.

Both of these groups have a tall task every year, especially now, considering soybean yields have broken records in the United States for four years in a row and the last three corn yields were also the largest in history. It may be possible that these two yield-estimating procedures have stepped out of sync.

But in the nearer term, the market should avoid the mob mentality approach to estimating both USDA’s moves and the final numbers, because it will reduce the shock effect to the market and add more value back into the polls.

FROM PAGE ONE grain industry Continued from page 1

“CN is aware of the variance in crop size from the different organizations that forecast this,” Doug MacDonald, CN vice-president of bulk, wrote in an email.

“From discussions with our customers, CN expects a similar number of orders on its network as the prior crop. We are ready to move it.”

CP Rail is also ready.

“At CP, moving grain is embedded in our DNA and has been for more than a century,” the company’s senior vice-president and chief marketing officer, John Brooks, said in a news release Aug. 21.

This is the second grain movement record in the last three years and comes just four years after a massive backlog in grain shipped by rail that prompted the federal Conservative government to order the railways to meet weekly shipping targets or face fines. That unprecedented action, which the railways criticized as draconian, but welcomed by farmers and grain companies, was followed up with the Fair Rail for Farmers Act, an early review of the Canadian Transportation Ac t a n d C - 4 9 , t h e G ra i n Modernization Act, tabled earlier this year by the current Liberal government.

CN moved a record 21.8 million tonnes of grain in 2016-17 — seven per cent more than the prior three-year average, beating the one-year record set in 201415 by two per cent. And that’s despite more -25 days and more snow than 2015-16 or the threeyear average and a slow start to grain movement due to a wet fall, CN said in a summary of the last crop year.

In addition CN set six new monthly shipping records between the peak months of September and March when grain prices are highest.

CN is calling for federal infrastructure investment for Vancouver’s congested North Shore. “ We gave our customers what they were looking for by significantly expanding our commercial product offering,” MacDonald said. “CN expanded commercial agreements that guarantee car supply in advance to our customers both large and small. This commercially driven innovation includes reciprocal penalties which drive accountability for both shippers and CN, and allows our customers to make market-based decisions.”

Last crop year, customers secured about 70 per cent of CN’s car supply in advance under commercial agreements subject to car commitment guarantees, he added.

CN credits its record performance on a combination of fac-

“We would expect the railways to continue servicing the grain industry as they have been.”

tors, including investing $3 billion in infrastructure the last five years, having crews, cars and power ready, a fair and predictable car allocation policy, which saw CN communicate a maximum weekly supply chain capacity of 5,500 carloads during the fall and spring, and 4,000 carloads during the winter.

CP Rail moved about the same amount of grain last crop year as in 2014-15 and two per cent more than the five-year average.

CP Rail’s Dedicated Train Program (DTP) has improved grain movement and will be even more important this crop year, accounting for more than 75 per cent of CP’s grain service, Brooks said.

C P i s w o r k i n g t ow a rd s 8,500-foot-long trains with a minimum of 134 cars of export grain in Canada, moving 20 per cent more than traditional 112car trains. “ T h ro u g h i n f ra s t r u c t u re investment and collaboration with grain companies and port operators, this enhanced train model allows railways, elevators, and ports to increase throughput and better utilize resources,” CP said in a release.

“The end result is more grain transported to market more efficiently than ever before.”

Improved communications and infrastructure investments, contributed to a new grain movement record, Hemmes said.

“Richardson... is almost like a new terminal (in Vancouver),” he said. “Viterra has spent a ton of money on both Cascadia and Pacific.

“The money put into Alliance — and they are putting in more — is really starting to show positive results.

“Prince Rupert... just keeps getting better and moving more and moving it faster. Those kind of efficiencies are just as important as anything and probably more important than what the railways are doing because they are turning cars faster. The grain companies are getting better between co-ordinating between the country and the ports. So things are moving smoother that way. I would attribute it as much to capital investment by the grain companies and communication between all of the stakeholders.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

early 2017, something experts blamed on a mid-winter melt.

“In eastern Manitoba, there was a huge amount of crop loss,” Jake Davidson, Winter Cereals Canada executive manager, said. “I keep hesitating to call it winterkill.

Winterkill is traditionally when the soil is not covered; the top layer of soil freezes really hard because it’s really cold; there’s high winds and so on. What we lost last winter was (due to) January and March rains, which flooded fields and then froze solid back into skating rinks and basically the crop was deprived of oxygen under the soil and it was killed off by the ice. It was not a typical winterkill.”

Winter wheat yields in the Interlake have been low thus far, Manitoba Agriculture says, although fall rye has fared better, with yields ranging from average to good.

High survival areas in the east have reported between 80- and 100-bushel-per-acre yields in fall rye, Davidson added.

In the central region, winter wheat has yielded 50 to 80 bushels per acre compared to 75 to 110 bushels per acre of fall rye, according to the last provincial crops report.

Despite overwinter damage, both quality and test weight have been promising, the province said.

Manitoba Agriculture reported slightly below-average yields but average quality for both winter cereals in southwest Manitoba.

“It’s j u s t re a l l y g e t t i n g started in western Manitoba and it’s kind of hard to say because there’s huge geographic differences north and south of No. 1 Highway,” Davidson said.

“In eastern Manitoba, there was a huge amount of crop loss.”

Jake Davidson Winter Cereals Canada

Dodged drought Winter Cereals Canada says conditions generally improve from east to west across the Prairies this year, despite abnormally dry conditions.

As of the end of July, most of Saskatchewan south of Saskatoon was in some type of drought, with the majority of land south and west of Regina registering either severe or extreme drought.

In Manitoba, everything south of the Interlake was c o n s i d e r e d “a b n o r m a l l y dry,” while patches of moderate drought cropped up south of Winnipeg and along the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border.

“The majority of (winter cereal) moisture is spring moisture, so they were not as impacted by the dryness as some of the other crops,” Davidson said. “ Where it might get us is there was a lot of unseeded acreage. There has been quite a demand for seed this fall and it might have a bit of an effect on fall seeding. If we don’t get a nice fall rain between now and Sept. 15, there might be a little bit of germination problem.”

Davidson does not expect any trouble with seeding timing, assuming farmers can harvest their early canola to clear fields.

Manitoba’s dr y spell hit

a reprieve in some regions as rain moved in during the first weeks of August. Areas measuring between 40 and 60 per cent average precipitation this growing season decreased in August.

Excluding small patches, only the region directly south of Winnipeg to the U.S. border still hit that category, while most of agricultural Manitoba had received 60 to 85 per cent of normal rainfall and some regions of the Interlake had climbed to 115 to 150 per cent of average precipitation.

Southwest Manitoba, which had previously marked the same dry conditions as the Red River Valley, saw moisture improve, while pastures in the east continued to dry out. As of Aug. 16, 60 per cent of hay and pasture land reported adequate moisture, while 20 per cent was short of water and the final 20 per cent was “very short.”

“It hasn’t affected us to any great extent,” Davidson said.

“The rains that came a week, 10 days, ago were just ahead of harvest and I’m not sure that a rain at that point is going to do us any good... but I don’t think it’s doing us any harm because the fields are not unmanageable. It’s not like you can’t go out with your combine and drive across.” astockford@farmmedia.com

a n Wr i g h t , of Monsanto Canada, has been named the 66th president of the Canadian Seed Trade Association, the association says in a release.

Wr i g h t h a s b e e n involved with the CSTA for a number of years. In that time, he has served on the board of directors for two years and on the executive for three years.

Wr ight has a strong connection to agriculture, a foundation that was laid in childhood a t h i s f a m i l y ’s c a s h crop farm and farm equipment dealership.

During his career he has held several roles with Monsanto Canada since 2000.

Cu r re n t l y, he is the Canada corn and soybean portfolio lead, which includes introducing new traits and the expansion of corn and soybeans in Western Canada.

f you grow flax in Manitoba, it will have pasmo.

The fungal disease, also known as Septoria linicola, can be found in every western Canadian flax field, every year.

But the severity varies, making it tricky for farmers to decide whether to apply a fungicide, says Rachel Evans, the Flax Council of Canada’s extension agronomist.

“We’ll see anywhere from five to 30 per cent yield loss (from pasmo),” Evans said in an interview during the Crop Diagnostic School at the University of Manitoba’s Carman research station July 5. “But in severe cases it can be much higher than that.”

Pasmo scouting should start at the seedling stage when the flax is about four inches high until flowering, Evans said.

Early symptom Brown lesions on flax leaves are an early symptom. That can lead to leaves turning yellow and dropping making early detection important, she said.

“Under more severe cases of pasmo… spores will move onto the stem of the plant and then you’ll see the banding show up and that will be the really obvious symptom of pasmo,” Evans said.

That happens in mid-August.

Then infection can move up the plant, infecting the pedicels — branches that hold the flax seed bolls. That can result in the bolls falling from the plant, cutting yields.

It can also result in lodging.

Two fungicides — Headline EC (pryaclostrobin) and Priaxor (fluxapyroxad and pryaclostrobin) — are registered to control pasmo in flax.

Both products are recommended for application at the early- to late-bloom stage, Evans said.

Rachel Evans

An early pasmo symptom is brown lesions on flax leaves.

“What we recommend to growers is to be out early in the morning looking for their first flowers in their flax fields and then counting seven to 10 days after those first flowers show up,” she said. “Keep in mind that those flowers do drop off in the afternoon so going in the morning is going to be important.”

Fungicides effective Fungicides are effective in controlling pasmo and can easily pay for themselves depending on the price of flax, the price of the fungicide and the severity of the disease, Evans said.

For example, if applying a fungicide increases yield 10 per cent in a field averaging 24 bushels an acre, that’s an extra 2.4 bushels an acre. If flax is earning $11 a bushel that’s an extra $26 an acre in revenue, she said.

But there are currently no yesno tools to help farmers predict the potential severity of a pasmo infection, because some of the factors, such as future weather, are also variable, Evans said.

“Farmers should be considering their crop history and if flax has been grown before or in their area,” she said. “They should be considering environmental conditions. Has it been dry? Has it been wet and humid? ( Wet and humid conditions

can make pasmo worse.) They should be scouting. Are there symptoms showing up early in the season because then you are predisposed to having those symptoms move through and having an effect later.”

If a fungicide is applied, check treated fields one to two weeks later, especially if there have been frequent rain showers and warm weather during flowering.

If lesions are observed on new growth, consider making another fungicide application, the Flax Council of Canada website recommends.

To delay pasmo developing resistance, the second application should be a fungicide with a different mode of action, Manitoba Agriculture’s Guide to Field Crop Protection says.

To best manage pasmo, farmers should take an integrated approach, Evans said.

Fungicides are just one tool, which should be used along with other measures such as planting disease-free seed.

“Seeding early can be beneficial,” she said. “That’s because you are avoiding some of those hot, humid conditions later in the season when the bolls are forming…

“Crop rotation is probably going to be the most important

line of defence because our primary source of inoculum with pasmo is infected straw so maintaining a crop rotation of at least three years is going to be very important. Weed control, although flax benefits from good weed control regardless, it also keeps the humidity in the stand down and so that prevents good conditions for the disease to move around from the soil surface up on the leaves and stem into the boll.”

The 10-year Manitoba flax yield is 22 bushels an acre and has been for years. Pasmo is believed to be one of the reasons yields have plateaued.

Some research is being done into applying a fungicide earlier to control pasmo, Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture’s farm production specialist in Souris, said during the July 26 CropTalk Westman webinar.

But pasmo isn’t the only factor.

Often flax is an afterthought and doesn’t get the same attention as other crops.

Last year flax averaged 22.5 bushels an acre on almost 60,000 of crop insured acres Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation data shows. But in the RM of Roland, where 1,253 acres of insured flax were grown, the average yield was 38 bushels an acre — 69 per cent higher than the provincial average. allan@fbcpublishing.com

lax has become a rarer sight in Manitoba — covering only 85,000 acres last year, down from 125,000 in 2015 — but Rachel Evans, extension agronomist with the Flax Council of Canada, hopes more agronomic knowledge will help reverse that trend.

Fl a x Co u n c i l o f Ca n a d a agronomy trials are now in their third year at sites ranging from the Kelburn Research Farm near Winnipeg, to Melita in the far southwest corner of the province and Arborg to the north.

Plots compared factors such as planting depth, planting date, row spacing, seed treatment, use of fungicides and herbicides, and interaction with stubble. Each site includes an “ideal” plot, which combines estimated best management practices, as well as a line of plots each missing only

one “ideal” factor so the yield effect of that practice can be measured.

Ideal plots were seeded into cereal or pulse stubble, fertilized to a 45-bushel-per-acre yield target, used seed treatment, seeded before the May long weekend at a 45-poundper-acre rate, less than an inch deep, and sprayed with herbicide and fungicide as necessary.

“Some of those are validated and some of those are not,” Evans said.

Four planting dates, three

seeding depths, three seeding rates and two row spacings are being put to the test at the Westman Agricultural Diversification Organization site near Melita this year and highlighted during a July 25 field tour.

Data from previous years found that flax was not susceptible to planting date within the first three weeks of May, although crops planted after that time showed yield decline up to 20 per cent.

Evans noted, however, that

early seeding may act as a buffer against bad weather in the fall as flax is a late-maturing crop.

The project has also shown surprising results in seedling survival, with a 75-80 per cent survival rate this year.

“Right now, if you look at the Manitoba government website for growing flax, we’re assuming (a) 50-60 per cent seedling survival and I think that we still do see those numbers sometimes, but when we have very good growing conditions that are conducive for emergence, we can see higher,” Evans said. “I think that, like other agronomy factors, there always comes a time where I think it’s important to re-evaluate and look at repeating some of that previous research that we’ve done to reassess if it’s still valuable or still valid.”

per cent germination into account when choosing seeding rate.

“In terms of deciding about seedling survival on a farmer’s particular field, I would still

suggest starting at that 60 per cent when you’re doing that seeding rate calculation and then go from there,” she said, noting that the above-average seedling survival in her own tri-

als is an observation and has not been validated by other research at this point.

Seed treatment increased plant stand numbers, although effect on yield is yet to be vali-

dated, and deeper-seeded flax took longer to emerge.

“That makes sense because flax is small seeded,” Evans said.

Ev a n s e s t i m a t e s t h a t a 22-bushel-per-acre target yield will remove 15 pounds of phosphorus per acre throughout the season, a number that increases to 29 pounds in a 42-bushelper-acre crop. Flax will remove similar amounts of potassium at 22 bushels per acre, increasing to 25 pounds at 42 bushels per acre.

A reliance on early-season phosphorus underpins recommendations that flax be grown after a cereal or pulse, both of which also encourage the mycorrhizal fungi colonies that help flax access the nutrient after seeding. Other crops, such as canola, cause fungi to go dormant and may stunt flax the following year.

Flax is also a heavy nitrogen user, Evans said. Using the International Plant Nutrition Institute web calculator, Evans estimated that a 22-bushelper-acre flax crop will remove 55 pounds of nitrogen per acre, while a 42-bushel-per-acre crop will remove 105 pounds. astockford@farmmedia.com

Heartland Order Buying is starting to get calls from producers looking to price cattle for September delivery and wanting to know current market conditions, Wright said.

“The cow market is under a little bit of pressure; a lot of that is exchange related and a bit is a heavy-duty supply of fed cattle available to the packers.”

Packers aren’t motivated to pay premiums normally seen for cows this time of year because of that heavy supply.

Manitoba producers have little incentive to move cattle early, with pastures in decent shape, but Wright said some producers might pull some October calves forward into September if drier pastures don’t receive rain in the next couple of weeks.

But it wouldn’t be a major rush, he added.

“We’re basically encouraging the guys, other than slaughter cattle, to hang on to them until there is a bit more volume around.”

ost Manitoba cattle markets are still a few weeks away from opening after the summer slowdown, with low numbers being reported at locations that are open.

Rick Wright, a broker for Heartland Order Buying Co., said markets that have been open are generally selling fewer than 200 head.

Of those, he said one-third to one-half are cows. A few yearlings are also coming in but not due to feed or pasture shortages caused by drought. They’re being sold by producers trying to generate a little extra cash flow, he said.

“We really haven’t had enough volume to establish a market,” he said.

A little over 550 cattle made their way through auction yards at Brandon and Virden last week, down slightly from the week previous.

There was no sale this week at Winnipeg Livestock Sales, the only other auction operating in the province through the summer, although a butcher and feeder sale is planned for Aug. 25.

In Wright’s area, he said, a few light “wetnosed” calves attracted more than $200 per hundredweight, 900-lb. steers sold for about $180/cwt and 600-lb. steers sold in the mid-$90s.

Hundreds of ranchers in the drought-stricken U.S. Northern Plains are embracing what organizers say is the first lottery designed to provide some much-needed relief to their operations.

The prize? Tons and tons of hay.

Ranchers in North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana have been suffering through the region’s worst drought in 30 years, which has caused a severe spike in the cost of hay.

While the ranchers search for affordable hay,

some have been selling off cattle they cannot afford to feed. If the drought persists, cattle and beef prices will rise, livestock economists said.

“Thousands of producers who have invested their lives in their operations are being financially affected by the drought.

It will change how they’re going to operate for the next several years in order to get through it,” Greg Lardy, head of North Dakota State University’s (NDSU) animal sciences department, said.

The Dakotas and Montana represent 13 per cent of the U.S. beef cow herd and 26 per cent of hay acres, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

In response to the drought, the North Dakota Department of Agriculture

(NDDA) and NDSU helped organize a “hay lottery.”

Farmers can register online for a chance to win a semitruckload of hay — roughly 30 bales (https://www. nd.gov/ndda/hay-lottery).

The lottery is the first of its kind in North Dakota, state officials said.

Participants must register by Aug. 31 and the drawing is tentatively scheduled for early September. Entry is free.

Additional lotteries are possible if donations continue to pour in, officials said.

The United States is the largest producer and exporter of hay. Even so, only four per cent of U.S. hay is exported, with the rest used domestically.

The lack of adequate moisture in the Northern Plains this summer sent prices skyward.

U.S. wheat futures slip on improving conditions DAVE SIMS CNSC

I

t was a choppy time for canola contracts during the week ended Aug. 18, but underlying fundamentals have pushed the front-month contracts above the psychologically important $500-per-tonne mark.

Questions are growing about next year’s carry-out, as current trade guesses put the crop somewhere between 17.5 million and 19.5 million tonnes. A lot of the crop was late seeded too, which means it could still benefit from mid-August rains or be threatened by an early frost.

At the same time, a large proportion of canola fields, particularly in Manitoba and northern Saskatchewan, is looking good.

Some harvesting has begun and the early returns from southern Manitoba are solid.

Although the dominant November contract has climbed above the $500 mark for now, the crop is still subject to price pressure in the near term. Off-the-combine deliveries could be just around the corner, along with the daily pressures in the soybean market.

Crush margins continue to dwell at their lowest point since last summer while the market does its best to ration existing supplies.

One factor acting against the market is

the growing strength of the Canadian dollar.

Friday’s inflation report sent the loonie rising toward the 80 U.S. cents mark. Weakness in the U.S. dollar has also contributed to the loonie’s rise.

It was a bearish week for the corn market as milder conditions in the U.S. Midwest and expectations of a massive U.S. harvest weighed down the market. Crop conditions, which had been stressed in July due to the heat, actually improved. The U.S. Department of Agriculture pegged yields at 169.5 bushels an acre, which surpassed traders’ estimates.

Soybeans chopped around for much of the week as solid demand for oilseeds offset some of the bearish weather factors facing the crop. As well, a group from China travelled to the U.S. for a crop tour, after which came an agreement to purchase 3.8 million tonnes of soybeans. U.S. export sales were also higher, which limited the losses.

However, reports of bird flu outbreaks in the Philippines and China dragged on corn and soybeans.

The wheat market sunk lower as cooler weather and scattered rains brought relief to key sections of the U.S. Plains. Technical selling was also a feature. On the international front the news wasn’t any better, as many analysts say this year’s Russia wheat crop will likely be bigger than expected.

Prairie wheat bids continue downtrend A rising loonie and falling U.S. wheat futures drag on cash wheat values

H

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada during the week ended Aug. 18 moved l ow e r f o r a f o u r t h c o n s e c u t i v e week as declines in U.S. futures and strength in the Canadian dollar weighed on prices.

Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were down by $1-$4 per tonne across the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of delivery points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about $253 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $267 in eastern Manitoba.

Quoted basis levels varied from

location to location, but generally held steady to range from about $7 to $21 per tonne above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollar-denominated futures and Canadian dollar cash bids.

When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$201 to US$212 per tonne. That would put the currency-

adjusted basis levels at about US$34$45 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 $43 to $57 below the futures.

Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were down by $13-$14 per tonne, with prices ranging from $150 to $160 per tonne.

Average durum prices were steady

to down by as much as $15 per tonne, with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $303-$314 per tonne.

The December spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted Aug. 18 at US$6.825 per bushel, down 5.75 U.S. cents from the previous week.

Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The December K.C. wheat contract was quoted at US$4.4225 per bushel on Aug. 18, down 27 U.S. cents compared to the previous week.

The September Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled at US$4.425 on August 18, down 24.5 U.S. cents on the week.

The Canadian dollar settled Aug. 18 at 79.45 U.S. cents, up roughly twothirds of a cent on the week.

CRSB verification turns to processors as framework consultations continue The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef has turned its eyes to the processing industry as development on its incoming verification framework continues

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

B

eef processors are being asked how their sustainability should be graded when the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Be e f ( C R S B ) ve r i f i c a t i o n framework is released later this year.

The CRSB has released a draft of its processing sustainability indicators and invited the public to comment online from June 29 to Aug. 29.

Comments will be refined before a second, more specialized, round of consultations in fall.

The two-tiered consultation echoes a similar process with beef producers earlier this year.

“They’re a good measure,” said Brian Lemon, Manitoba Beef Producers general manager. “They certainly show, I think, a lot of what our producers already, for the most part, are doing. There wasn’t anything there that was really sort of 180-degree opposed to where our industry is wanting to go already. Our industry is some of the most environmentalist-thinking producers out there and we’re good stewards of the land and we want to do this for generations to come.”

The sector’s public perception has taken hits in recent years, including greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and use of antibiotics.

This spring, Manitoba Beef Producers released a carbon policy covering, in part, maintaining grasslands and exploring carbon sequestration through grazing systems. Soil health and grazing management have also taken a lead in Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives research, partially sponsored by Manitoba Beef Producers.

Nationally, the industry has enhanced or introduced verification programs.

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef is one of the latest efforts to meet increased public concern, and carries a mandate to connect interest throughout the value chain. The multi-stakeholder organization counts producers, processors, retailers, researchers, and agribusiness among its members.

Lessons learned Over 100 comments were born out of the first round of producer consultation this year, a number Monica Hadarits, CRSB programs and verification director, hopes to see

matched now that attention has turned to processing.

“We have learned a lot from the beef production side of things in the two previous rounds that we’ve done,” she said. “We’ve incorporated a lot of the higher-level feedback or general feedback that we’ve got — for example, incorporating the levels in each indicator to provide clarity on what we’re looking for in each of the indicators. So given that we have taken a lot of that feedback and incorporated it in and learned the lessons from the first two iterations, we do anticipate maybe a bit less.”

The organization has outlined 19 processor indicators ranging from natural resource management, people and community, animal health and welfare, food security and efficiency and innovation in the draft.

Currently, indicators would grade participating facilities out of three on issues like air impact and water use, land and ecosystem health, worker safety, community involvement, career development potential, animal housing conditions, efforts to minimize animal pain and stress, management of sick animals, food safety programming, waste reduction, energy efficiency and efforts to improve further.

Grades may be based on existing management plans or emergency protocols, invoices to measure energy or water

use, interviews with staff, unit measurements such as the amount of carbon dioxide produced per head or water used per kilogram of beef, available first aid training and personal protective equipment, injury tracking, professional development opportunities, employees training, research investment, and technology scouting, among others.

Like existing verification programs, the framework will require an on-site audit and followup to track improvement.

“Hopefully, it fits in very well with the landscape of what’s already out there and hopefully it dovetails together really well because I think when you talk about sustainability, nobody is interested in sustainability of one step,” Lemon said. “I think we recognize that everybody is going to be more interested in sustainability of the overall production process right from farm to fork, if you will. So it’s going to be important that this work be sort of respectful, I guess, of the work that’s gone ahead.”

Recognition Hadarits said the CRSB plans to compare its program with existing verification programs.

“One of the pillars of work that we’re doing as part of our verification framework is also looking at equivalency and developing a process for recognizing other programs because we realize that there are already a lot of programs out there, potentially, that address one or more of the indicators that we’re looking at,” she said.

The draft does not consider secondary processors, something the CRSB says is largely because such facilities do not handle live cattle.

Economics, likewise, had no direct mention, but instead will form an underpinning theme of the entire framework, Hadarits said. The topic is reflected in the grade scheme of multiple indicators rather than having an indicator class of its own.

“We’ve kind of explicitly called that out, especially in level three of most of the indicators where opportunities for improvement are really great,

but they also have to be balanced with economic sustainability as well,” Hadarits said.

T h e C R S B h a s a l re a d y anticipated a number of challenges, including more cost and investment for processors looking to meet standards and the risk that indicators may actually work to cross-purposes. Food safety, for example, may run up against efforts to lower water use while increased automation may bolster innovation, but cause job loss.

“One of the things that we found with testing our beef production indicators is there’s a lot of overlap or crossover and we’ve actually found that they’re more complementary than contradictory,” Hadarits said. “That (cross-indicator conflict) was identified as a challenge because, of course, one indicator that is not explicitly incorporated into our framework is the economics, so we always kind of have to keep that in the back of our minds and that’s why we’ve incorporated it as an overarching theme across all five pillars of sustainability.”

Now in the consultation’s final weeks, Hadarits said feedback has come from a wide geographic range. The CRSB is specifically reaching out to stakeholders in any under-represented areas.

The framework will be released in early December. astockford@farmmedia.com

Herbicides may restrict crop use as livestock feed

Bales left in the field can be costly

Drought is causing some producers to eye grain crops as livestock fodder

I

NDSU release

S

ome producers are turning to small-grain crops as feed for their livestock because this year’s drought is causing a severe shortage of grass and hay.

However, herbicides applied to those small-grain crops may make them unusable as livestock feed.

“Most herbicides have grazing and feeding restrictions stated on the label that limit the use of the crop for livestock feed,” North Dakota State University Extension Service weed specialist Rich Zollinger says. “However, the labels are often vague regarding specific information on use of grain crops as forage for livestock because this is not the normal use.”

Pesticides, which include herbicides, insecticides and fungicides, have contributed to substantial increases in crop yields during the past five decades.

Grazing and harvesting a crop for feed following herbicide use often is prohibited because research on residue levels in the crop is inadequate, Zollinger notes. Researchers may not know how the chemical or the products resulting from its breakdown affect livestock or whether the chemical or its breakdown products stay in the animal’s body.

“Livestock that consume crops treated with such herbicides probably would not become ill from the chemicals, but they could retain the chemicals in their system,” Zollinger says. “The concern is that herbicides could be passed in the milk of lactating animals or cause abortion in pregnant animals. The chemical also may have potential to be retained by the animals and be present in the slaughtered carcass.”

He adds that although these problems are not likely to occur, the restrictions listed on pesticide labels are enforceable under state and federal law and producers need to adhere to them.

Milk or animal meat with residues in them can be confiscated and destroyed, resulting in a loss of income to the producer.

Producers who violate label restrictions may face monetary fines and loss of certification, and may not be able to sell their livestock into the marketplace, according to NDSU Extension veterinarian and livestock stewardship specialist Gerald Stokka.

Extension publications, including NDSU’s North Dakota Weed Control Guide can provide producers with guidance, as can product labels.

Get those bales off the field as quickly as possible following the final cut

BY JOHN MCGREGOR MFGA

n late summer, we see many bales scattered among recently harvested fields across the province. While hay bales may make the countryside more scenic, there is a cost to leaving hay on the field longer than necessary. And while it’s convenient to leave bales in the field after the final cut of the year, delaying removal can be harmful and cost future yields when more harvests are expected.

One problem is that the forage plants directly under the bale or stack will be smothered until the bale is removed. The longer the bale stays in one spot, the less likely the forage will recover.

Plants are often killed if covered for more than a week or two. This may not hurt yield too much, but it makes for a great place for weeds like dandelions to get started and quickly spread.

Greater damage, though, is due to wheel traffic on the

Leaving hay bales in the field has quite a few hidden costs.

regrowth. Even when bales are removed immediately after harvest before regrowth starts, yields could be about five to seven per cent less at the next cutting.

This gets much worse if you wait to remove bales. By delaying removal just seven days after cutting, when regrowth shoots have started to grow, yield could be reduced by over 25 per cent and fewer plants may survive.

Further damage occurs if you are removing bales when fields are wet. Wheel traffic will cause compaction and yield loss exceeding 30 per cent.

Hayfields must be driven on to remove bales after harvest, but you can lessen damage and future yield loss by controlling where, when and how often you drive.

Minimize the amount of driving done on wet soils and follow the same wheel track when removing bales or stacks from fields to limit the total area damaged.

Another potential loss is damage to the bale. Bales left in the field often flatten out and soften.

Loading, handling and hauling those bales can be difficult as some of the bales will fall apart and dry matter losses will

increase. A bale left in the field is exposed to the elements in all directions. If three inches of the outside surface of a 5x6 bale is spoiled, it represents about 30 per cent of the hay in that bale. In a 1,500-pound or (682-kg) bale, a 30 per cent loss represents 450 pounds (204 kg) of hay. Storing bales reduces the number of exposed surfaces and can reduce losses, especially if shelter can be provided.

Once the bales have cooled, the bales can be taken to the feed yard and stacked. Unless the bales are used for bale grazing, leaving that hay out in the fields until freeze-up can prove expensive.

In many parts of the province, most of the cost of a hay bale is in cutting and baling, not the forage itself. There are definite benefits of baling and removing bales from hayfields as quickly as possible after cutting.

Manitoba Youth Beef Round-Up release

O

n August 4-6, 69 enthusiastic Manitoba and Saskatchewan junior cattle producers attended the 10th annual Manitoba Youth Beef Round-Up in Neepawa.

Excitement in the cattle industry brought out a top-notch group of interested cattle producers and 78 head of cattle.

Where else can you attend an event with 69 junior members all working together as teams and in individual competitions, to learn the skills needed in the livestock industry?

This is an all-round event to promote and educate youth to continue in the industry. Our show would not happen without our dedicated sponsors and committee members who have stood behind this Junior All Breeds Show and helped to make it a success.

The weekend started Friday morning with a presentation from Liz Carey on cattle handling. In the afternoon, the juniors had a chance to try what they learned with a hands-on cattle sorting demonstration and clinic. Friday evening all juniors participated in the Ag Challenge — a fun, hands-on challenge where teams work together to complete 10 stations related to the cattle industry. This

competition is sponsored by Mazer Group and is a great way for juniors to work together, make new friendships, learn something new and have fun while doing it.

On Saturday, the juniors were busy with many different events. In the morning they participated in public speaking, individual judging and attended a presentation on advocacy

by Carmen and Donna Jackson. In the afternoon, the juniors took part in team judging, team fitting, the stockman’s knowledge competition and the peewees had a demonstration by Blair McRae. On Saturday, ambassador and scholarship interviews also took place. Saturday evening was

wrapped up with the cook-off competition sponsored by Enns Brothers and a slip n’ slide to cool off for the day!

Sunday was show day. Thank you to our show day judges, Levi Jackson and Jared Glasman. Juniors participated in showmanship classes in the morning and then conformation classes in the afternoon. We rounded the day off with a parade of champions and a parade of 4-H champions then finished the evening off with awards. Each and every year Round-Up is a weekend filled with friendships, learning, skills and knowledge. It was once again another successful weekend!

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

Warm and dry to start; cooler next week?

Issued: Monday, August 21, 2017 · Covering: August 23 – August 30, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

L

ast week’s forecast — at least the first part — wasn’t too bad, but things kind of fell apart on Sunday and into the first part of this week. I had pointed out that confidence in that part of the forecast was low. The disappointing part for some people was the weak system that came through on Monday, bringing clouds and putting a damper on the eclipse.

For this forecast period we’ll see a ridge of high pressure rebuild across our region, bringing with it more sunny skies, light winds and dry weather. Wednesday looks to be the calmest day as the main area of high pressure will be directly over Manitoba. The high will then slowly drift off to the east on Thursday and Friday.

At the same time a broad area of low pressure is forecast to develop over western and northwestern Canada and will begin to try and push eastward. This will slowly increase the pressure gradient across our region, a fancy way of saying it will start to get a little windy. Expect south winds to develop Thursday and strengthen Friday. These winds will help to boost temperatures, with daytime

highs on Thursday and Friday expected to be in the mid- to upper 20s.

Over the weekend the weather models show some of the energy from the western low tracking across central and northern Manitoba. The best chance for showers and thundershowers will be on Saturday as a weak cold front moves through. Skies should clear out by Sunday. Temperatures will cool down a little bit, with daytime highs forecast to be in the low 20s and overnight lows in the upper single digits.

Once again the confidence in the forecast for next week is low.

Currently, the weather models show a shift in our pattern.

They predict the northern low that brought the cold front over the weekend will stall out near Hudson Bay. This would place us in a cooler north to northwesterly flow for much of next week. With surface high pressure in place it looks as if it will remain dry, but we should expect temperatures to feel a little more fall-like.

Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 18 to 28 C; lows, 5 to 14 C. Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W. He operates a computerized weather station near Birds Hill Park.

WEATHER MAP - WESTERN CANADA

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies during the 90 days ending Aug. 17. The “wettest” regions have been along the northern edge of the agricultural Prairies, with the exception of northwestern Alberta.

First glimpse at fall and winter weather outlook July 2017 is reported to have been the warmest or nearly the warmest July on record

BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

H

ere I am in beautiful Riding Mountain National Park in western Manitoba and after three days of camping I have yet to smack a single mosquito; how nice is that?! I am keeping my fingers crossed that the sky conditions will work out for the eclipse on Aug. 21, more for my son than me. I’m old enough to remember the total solar eclipse that was visible across part of Manitoba back in 1979. If you are not planning to ever leave Manitoba, you and anyone in the next few generations, will never see a total eclipse. For those of you who wouldn’t mind travelling a little bit, or you are lucky enough to live in Alberta, then you only have to wait until 2044 to see an eclipse. That eclipse will be visible over much of Alberta and parts of southern Saskatchewan. Or, if you feel like travelling even farther, you could head to the East Coast in April 2024.

Once again, there is not a lot of weather news coming out of the Prairies that we haven’t already covered. So, for this article, I figured we would take an early look at the fall and winter forecasts. Before we do that I thought we should look at the

With neutral ENSO conditions expected across the Pacific this winter there is no strong driving force for our weather.

monthly global temperature data for July that was released last week.

July 2017, according to NASA, was the warmest July on record, which meant it was the warmest month ever recorded. NOAA (the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) registered this July as the second warmest in its database, coming in just behind last July.

Globally, according to NOAA it was the third warmest July over the oceans and the warmestever July over land. For those of you who don’t trust these data sources, the average temperature of the lowest eight km of the Earth’s atmosphere, as measured by satellite and reported by the University of Alabama Huntsville, was the fourth warmest in its 37-year-long database.

What has raised some eyebrows is the fact that it was a record- or near-record warm month with no El Niño taking place. In other words, there were no naturally occurring cycles or events that historically help to boost global

temperatures in July, yet it was extremely warm.

Supermodels OK, now on to our first look at the fall and winter forecasts.

Since the almanacs have recently been advertising that their winter forecasts are ready, let’s start off with them. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac we will see near- to slightly below-average temperatures this fall, with nearaverage amounts of precipitation. Then things will get cold to start off winter with belowaverage temperatures in both November and December, along with near- to slightly above-average amounts of precipitation.

Then the Old Farmer’s Almanac has the winter flipping around beginning in January, with above-average temperatures and below-average precipitation right through until spring.

Jumping over to the Canadian Farmers’ Almanac, it appears to call for a colder- and wetter-thanaverage fall as it mentions unsettled and wet conditions several

times along with cool or cold conditions. It even mentions the chance for wet snow and flurries in early October, which is not that unheard of, now that I think about it. Moving on to its winter forecas t, it calls for above-average temperatures along with near-average or “moderate” amounts of precipitation. That doesn’t sound too bad, at least for the winter part of its forecast. By the way, according to its website, part of its formula for long-range weather prediction uses the position of the moon.

The logic is that since the moon influences the tides in a predictable way, the moon can also influence the atmosphere and should be predictable. Not too sure about this, but it is still fun to look at these forecasts.

The latest forecast out of NOAA calls for near-average temperatures over the central and eastern Prairies with slightly above-average temperatures over Alberta.

Precipitation will be near average across all three Prairie provinces.

The U.S. Climate Forecast System (CFS) weather model predicts warmer-than-average temperatures right through to January across Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan, with nearaverage temperatures over western Saskatchewan and Alberta.

February is then forecast to be well below average over the northern and eastern Prairies, with the southwestern Prairies

continuing to have near-average temperatures. As for precipitation, it calls for near- to slightly above-average amounts this fall, with near-average amounts over the winter. The CanSIPS weather model shows temperatures that will be above to well above average both this fall and winter along with near-average amounts of precipitation.

E n v i r o n m e n t C a n a d a’s probabilistic forecast calls for above-average temperatures right across the Prairies this fall and into the early winter.

Temperatures are then expected to transition toward more average values later in the winter. Its precipitation forecast calls for a drier-than-average fall across much of Alberta with nearaverage amounts elsewhere. All regions are forecasted to have near-average amounts of precipitation over the winter.

Finally, my kick at the forecast.

With neutral ENSO (El Niño– Southern Oscillation) conditions expected across the Pacific this winter there is no strong driving force for our weather. This means the long-range forecast for this winter will be a tough one to figure out. So to be safe, at this point I will go with near-average temperatures and precipitation across all three Prairie provinces.

Now we’ll just wait and see how much things change in a month or two.

CROPS

Heat LQ approved for pre-harvest

Maximum residue limits have been set for Heat LQ applied on wheat, durum and barley

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

B

ASF’s Heat LQ herbicide can now be used pre-harvest in Canada on wheat, durum and barley without potentially hurting export markets, BASF Canada said in a news release Aug. 17.

Maximum residue limits (MRLs) for Heat LQ as a harvest aid in cereals has been set by the CODEX Alimentarius Commission (CAC), a United Nation’s agency that establishes food safety rules.

“This allows BASF to establish MRLs in all major export markets to support the use of Heat LQ as a pre-harvest herbicide in wheat and barley with glyphosate,” the release said.

“Canadian wheat and barley growers can now use Heat LQ as a harvest aid with full export market access,” said BASF Canada’s cereal crop manager Dan Packer in the release.

Until now Heat LQ, although registered for use in Canada, was on a list of products Canada’s grain industry didn’t want used because of the lack of MRLs. Without MRLs there’s a risk buyers could reject treated crops.

“With the recent establishment of CODEX MRLs for Heat LQ as a pre-harvest herbicide in wheat, durum and barley, grain companies will now omit those crops from the 2017-18 (crop year) declaration forms,” Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevator Association (WGEA), said in an interview. “Growers can now use Heat LQ as a pre-harvest application on wheat, durum and barley and these grains can be marketed to Canada’s major export countries.”

Before farmers can deliver grain in a new crop year to WGEAmember companies, they must sign a form declaring the crops they deliver have not been sprayed with certain products.

However, the WGEA still doesn’t want farmers applying Heat LQ to flax pre-harvest, Sobkowich added.

Cereals Canada welcomed the change.

“This will now allow Canadian (cereals) farmers to have access to this technology,” president Cam Dahl said in an email.

Heat LQ provides wheat and barley growers with another tool to dry down tough broadleaf weeds including volunteer Roundup Ready canola, redroot pigweed and wild buckwheat, BASF said.

A pre-harvest application of glyphosate and Heat LQ will provide complete and rapid dry-down of tough weeds to improve harvest efficiency, the company said.

Heat LQ can also be used as a pre-seed, pre-emergent and chemfallow herbicide.

Other products remain on the WGEA’s prohibition list: • chlormequat (Manipulator plant growth regulator) on wheat or any other cereal, • quinclorac (including Clever Dry Flow Herbicide) on canola, • m etconazole (including Quash fungicide) on canola, • f luoxastrobin (including Evito fungicide) on soybeans, and

• b enzovindiflupyr (Solatenol) (including Elatus Co-Pack or Trivapro Co-Pack fungicide) on soybeans.

Farmers are also being urged to follow label directions, including rates and timing when applying pesticides that grain end-users allow to avoid exceeding permitted residue levels. That includes glyphosate, Cereals Canada’s website says.

“Glyphosate has come under increased scrutiny, when compared to other pesticides, due to recent media attention generated by those who do not support the use of pesticides for any reason,” Cereals Canada’s website says, “Unlike many products applied in fall, applying glyphosate when kernels are too green — 30 per cent moisture or above — can result in residues that are greater than the maximum allowable limit.”

Farmers can reduce glyphosate residues by following label directions, which include not applying glyphosate to cereals when kernels are 30 per cent moisture or greater

in the least mature areas of the field.

Farmers should also abide by the pre-harvest interval.

“Some customers have contract limitations on fall application of glyphosate,” Cereals Canada says.

“Talk to your grain buyers to ensure they know what crop protection products you intend to use, and to confirm that none of these products will cause concern for export or domestic customers.”

Farmers can get more information on preventing pesticide residues on cereals, canola and pulse crops at the Keeping it Clean website http://keepingitclean.ca.

Pulse crops are more complex with some pesticides being allowed on some pulses and not others.

Find detailed information on that at the Keeping it Clean website or go directly to: http://www.pulsecanada.com/uploads/90/95/9095 c39a853d267d04832cb87abcc578/ CropProtectionProducts-2017-0718.pdf.

Pea protein under the microscope ahead of Roquette plant in Portage la Prairie

Roquette will begin contracting for its protein-based plant next year. Meanwhile, researchers are on the hunt for ways to bolster protein content in yellow peas

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator contributor

P

ea researchers have a new focus on protein as plans for the world’s largest protein-based pea-processing plant move ahead in Portage la Prairie.

The Roquette plant has been big news for Manitoba’s pea industry. In January, the Frenchbased specialty food and pharmaceutical excipient supplier announced $400 million for the plant, expected to employ 150 people and process up to 125,000 tonnes of peas each year, according to Gwenole Pasco, category specialist with Roquette.

“In that plant, we will use a wet milling process in order to separate the protein from the starch and other byproducts of the seeds,” Pasco said.

The plant is Roquette’s latest move into the alternate protein market. The company has already marketed pea-based protein as an option to dairy, soy or meat in specialized diets, vegetarian, meat reducer or vegan lifestyles, health food products and for those with dairy or soy allergies.

The product may also be used for its thickening and binding effects, Pasco said.

Contracting soon Construction is on track to begin later this year and the plant is expected to open in late 2019 and reach full capacity over the next two years.

Roquette will start contracting pea acres as early as next year, Pasco said, although the exact number of acres is unknown. Moisture guidelines are, likewise, still on the table.

“We would like to develop some new varieties that would be good from the farmer’s point of view, which means a good yield, a good disease resistance, easy for harvest — which means

standing well at harvest — and also that is good for the enduser, (which) we are, point of view, which is a high protein level,” Pasco said.

A range of Roquette’s pref e r r e d y e l l ow p e a s w e r e included in Manitoba Agriculture variety trials this year, as well as protein counts along with the usual yield data, Dennis Lange, pulse specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, said.

“We’ve been doing these pea trials for a number of years, but we haven’t really been focusing on protein because the market has maybe required more starch product. Now they’re looking more at the protein side of things,” he said. “We’re trying to have these trials in different locations to see if we’re going to see any environmental differences between growing peas in Morden, Man., versus growing peas in Carberry and seeing what kind of difference we see with some of the different varieties.”

Bucking trends Lange’s interest is compounded by data showing pea protein content has declined in Western Canada.

The Canadian Grain Commission reports that protein content has been in general decline since at least 2007, according to annual Quality of Western Canadian Peas report.

In 2007, mean protein in western Canadian peas (both yellow and green) peaked at 24.7 per cent, a number that fell to 23.9 per cent by 2010, 23.5 per cent by 2012 and sat at 22.1 per cent by 2016.

In 2016, the commission found mean protein was lower in both No. 1 and No. 2 yellow peas than the year before. No. 1 yellow peas tested at 21.5 per cent mean protein content, 0.4 per cent lower than 2015, while No. 2 yellow peas tested 0.5 per cent lower than the previous year.

“We’ve been doing these pea trials for a number of years, but we haven’t really been focusing on protein because the market has maybe required more starch product.

Now they’re looking more at the protein side of things.”

Dennis Lange Manitoba Agriculture pulse specialist

“One of the things that we kind of have to address is why that’s happening,” Lange said. “Is it due to environment? Is it due to variety selection? Maybe we’ve been focusing on things like yield and maturity and disease tolerance and protein hasn’t been as high on the merit list as maybe what it should be now, going forward.”

Despite the potential boost to pea acres in Manitoba as Roquette prepares to open its doors, Lange warned against overtightening rotations to make room for the crop.

The pea industry has fought disease pressures in root rot, leading to one-in-five- or one-insix-year rotations in some areas.

Other areas Lange also noted that Roquette’s demand will not only be met by Manitoba, but will spread added acres through both Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

“We want to try and have growers be profitable when they’re growing this crop and that’s, I think, one of the big things that we’ve stressed with Roquette, is that you have to be competitive with other crops in your pricing,” he said. “This, I think, is going to be a benefit for all companies here because it’s going to help generate a few more acres in areas that can really grow peas. Hopefully down the road, we’re going to see a large

amount of sustainable acres in Manitoba.”

Roquette has raised several regulatory issues ahead of the plant, including concern that commonly used diquat-based desiccants do not have established maximum residue limits (MRLs) in the U.S., one of Roquette’s intended markets, and will not be used on their contracted peas.

“That challenge comes into having good communications with your end-user, whether it’s Roquette or any company,” Lange said. “Over the years we’ve seen, whether it be edible beans or soybeans or wheat

or what have you, there have always been new challenges with new chemistries or even existing chemistries and MRL tolerances going into different countries.”

Pasco downplayed the desiccant challenge, citing available substitutes.

Pasco also pointed to less prevalent concerns over soy contamination, since Roquette advertises its protein as nonallergenic, although rotation and harvest timing difference between peas and soybeans largely addresses that concern. astockford@farmmedia.com

Spotted knapweed could do more harm than leafy spurge The ISCM declared August Invasive Species Month and is highlighting the risks associated with the potential spread of spotted knapweed

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

T

he Invasive Species Council of Manitoba wants all Manitobans to be on the lookout for an invasive plant species now spreading across Manitoba that has the potential to do as much or more damage as leafy spurge.

Sp o t t e d k n a pw e e d w a s first detected in southeastern Manitoba in 2009 but has more recently been found at sites across central and western sections of the province.

The highly competitive weed can quickly degrade native plant communities by reducing native plants required both by livestock and wildlife.

We need to control it now or face potential problems potentially even greater than those posed by spurge, warns the ISCM board, which declared August Invasive Species Month.

It’s highlighting this particular invasive weed because there’s still time to get on top of it, said Michelle Ammeter, with the Manitoba Weed Supervisors Association.

“By recognizing infestations early, and getting them under control, we have the potential of reducing the impact of spotted knapweed before it has the economic impact that leafy spurge does in Manitoba, or knapweeds do in other jurisdictions,” she said.

and in the Sandilands area,” said Cory Lindgren, another ISCM member and Canadian Food Inspection Agency representative with the council. It’s also been found in a number of locations along Hwy. 12 near Steinbach.

It is believed that it has been spreading via rail lines and that plants are “hitchhiking on the rails” into Manitoba from northwestern Ontario, he said.

No competition The problem with it is no animal will graze it and the biochemicals it produces alter surrounding soil, preventing growth of other plants around it and quickly allowing it to become a monoculture.

Spotted knapweed is identified by its distinctive bright-pink

flowers and dark bracts on the flower which give it its spotted appearance.

In the first year of reproduction, the plant will bolt in mid- to late June and begin to flower in late June or early July. Flowering continues through August in most years. Seeds from one plant can produce well over 1,000 seeds which remain viable in the soil for five or more years.

The invader prefers dry or welldrained sites and can quickly invade ditches, roadsides, fields, rangelands, or gravel pits.

The ISCM board decided to declare an Invasive Species Month in August following suit with other programs across Canada now putting concerted effort into public education and awareness about the potential

harm invasive species can cause, Cattani said.

Other invasive non-plant species have been attracting widespread attention, he noted.

“We’ve seen things like zebra mussels in the last few years really hit the forefront. It’s an invasive species. And I think we’re waiting with bated breath for the emerald ash borer to get into this jurisdiction,” he said.

“We’re trying to get on the side of ones that are just arriving or have imminent arrival and making the public aware so they can be the eyes in the landscape to let us know what’s happening,” he said.

Any sightings of spotted knapweed should be reported to a Manitoba Agriculture office and the Canadian Food Inspection

Big threat Doug Cattani, a professor at the University of Manitoba and another ISCM board member said the highly invasive weed could potentially be even more problematic than leafy spurge.

A study released in 2010 showed what impact spurge had.

That year it was determined it had spread over more than 1.2 million acres, affecting pastures, natural areas, hay and forage land, as well as roadsides, rail lines and utility corridors and having an economic impact of $40.2 million.

The main concern is that once it gets into native range it will quickly spread largely undetected, which is what happened with leafy spurge, Cattani said.

“Even with the activities and resources put into controlling leafy spurge I think between the 1999 and 2009 reports there was about a four times increase in area,” he said. “There were programs, but it was in areas that were hard to get at.”

Spotted knapweed has already caused significant damage to rangelands in both British Columbia and Alberta.

It’s on Manitoba’s Noxious Weeds Act and regulated under the federal Weed Seeds Order.

It was first detected in the southeastern corner of Manitoba in 2009 and before that thought to be an isolated incidence, say other ISCM board members. But new sites in recent years have been detected east of Winnipeg and north of the Trans-Canada Highway.

“Over the last couple of years we’ve been finding new sites east of Winnipeg and along Hwy. 1 towards Brandon and Deloraine

CROP REPORT

Warm weather advances crops quickly Manitoba Agriculture crop report issued August 21, 2017 Southwest Region Temperatures were above normal throughout the week. With the exception of Birtle and Deloraine, which received 20 mm of rain, most of the region received less than three mm of precipitation.

Winter cereal harvest is wrapping up with average yields and good quality reported.

Spring cereal harvest has started. Barley yields are slightly above average with good quality and test weights. Spring wheat yields are average.

The majority of peas have been harvested with aboveaverage yields and good quality.

Canola is being swathed, but harvest has not started. Canola disease levels are very low. Flax is at the ripening and dryingdown stage. Soybeans are in the late R5 to R6 stage. Fields in drier areas are starting to show moisture stress and are prematurely drying down. Corn and sunflowers continue to develop with very few problems.

Most producers that were planning a second cut of alfalfa have completed it and yields are about average.

Northwest Region High daytime temperatures continued through the week w i t h c ro p s c o n t i n u i n g t o advance to maturity. Dry conditions continue as precipitation was limited to trace isolated showers. Most of the region is dry with very dry soil moisture conditions to the 61 cm depth in the Roblin area.

Pre-har vest operations are well underway across the region as crops ripen and conditions allow. Crops are generally in good condition with the exception of areas of the region suffering from extremes of moisture.

Combining continues in winter wheat and early-seeded barley. Spring wheat is 50 to 75 per

cent ripe, with the remainder at the dough stage. Approximately 90 per cent of the canola is podded with 50 per cent reaching the ripe stage. Swathing is underway. Soybeans are podding; however, the dry weather is slowing pod formation. Pea and lentil crops have ripened and harvest is ongoing; there are reports of pea yields ranging from 60 to 80 bu./acre in the Swan River area. Flax is in the boll stage.

Second cut of alfalfa continues, with newer stands yielding well particularly in the Swan River and Dauphin areas. In drier areas across the region, there may not be enough second-cut regrowth to mechanically harvest. Silage and greenfeed harvest is ongoing.

Central Region Warm temperatures continued throughout the week. Scattered rains amounted to less than 10 mm of rain for most of the region. Amounts up to 15 mm were reported in the southwest corner. Some crops are ripening prematurely due to lack of rain.

Harvest is complete for winter cereals; early yields are reported as 75 to 110 bu. for fall rye and 50 to 80 bu. for winter wheat.

Quality is good, and FHB is low.

Test weight is good, as are falling numbers for rye. Lower yields are due to winter injury.

Staging for pre-harvest applications in cereals is ongoing, and swathing continues as crops mature. In some cases grain looks ripe while stalks are still quite green. Good harvest progress was made on cereal crops last week, with as much as 40 per cent complete. Early yield reports: hard red spring wheat 55 to 85 bu.; northern hard red wheat 80 to 95 bu.; barley 75 to 120 bu.; oats 110 to 180 bu. Quality and test weight are generally reported as very good.

Canola harvest has begun, early yield reports are good.

Early seed colour change is evident in the later-seeded fields. Swathing and pre-harvest applications continue with the majority of acres complete.

Sunscald is making fields look riper than they are. Swathed canola is rapidly drying down.

The majority of corn is in the grain-filling stage; ranging from blister to milk. Earliest-seeded and earliest-maturing varieties are starting to dent.

Most peas are harvested, with yields ranging from 50 to 90 bu.

Flax fields are in full boll, and turning brown. Straw is starting to turn.

Soybeans are in the R5 and R6 stage, with the earliest-maturing varieties at R7 and the start of leaf colour change. Some soybeans are reported at R7 on knolls and ridges and are drying out, not turning.

Early types of edible beans are seeing some leaf drop as a result of drier conditions.

Rainfall may benefit the later types with improved seed size.

White mould is being found in dense canopy areas.

Sunflowers are at the late stages of flowering; with many at R6 and early ray flower drop.

Some basal stalk rot is evident.

Some potato fields have been topped in preparation for harvest.

G ra s s h o p p e r s a re b e i n g found in fields, especially in drier areas. Monitoring continues, and some control measures have been taken where crop injury warrants.

Most second-cut hay is complete. Yields are down due to dry conditions. Some fields were browning due to the lack of moisture.

Eastern Region Warm temperatures continued.

The northern and central part of the region saw isolated show-

ers and thunderstorms with rainfall amounts ranging from two to 10 mm. Overall crop development continued at a good pace and crop condition was rated as good. Soil moisture conditions on cropland across the region were rated as 75 per cent adequate and 25 per cent short. Soil moisture conditions on hay and pasture land were rated at 30 per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and 30 per cent very short. The driest soil conditions are in the southern districts.

Pre-harvest herbicide applications on cereals were completed last week and harvest has begun. Harvest progress was greatest in southern districts where 50 per cent of spring wheat and 20 per cent of oats were harvested. In central and northern regions about 15 per cent of spring wheat and 15 per cent of oats were harvested.

Limited yield reports received so far suggest 50-plus bu./acre for HRS wheat and 100-plus bu./acre for oats. In northern regions, quality concerns in HRS wheat included low protein levels and the appearance of piebald kernels.

More than 60 per cent of canola acres in the region received pre-harvest herbicide applications. Swathing continued last week with the majority of the crop intended for swathing now cut.

Corn is at the blister/milk stage. Soybeans are at the R6 growth stage with crop condition still rated as good.

Sunflowers are in the late R6 to R7 growth stages. Low disease and insect pest levels continue in the sunflowers.

Pa s t u re s a re d r y i n g u p.

Livestock are grazing lower areas and some producers are starting to feed on pastures. Haying was coming to an end on grass hayfields and some producers were looking

at taking a third cut of alfalfa.

Dugouts continue to be low.

Interlake Region High temperatures continue to advance crops quickly. Rainfall throughout the region varied from two to 32 mm in the last week.

Swathing continues in canola in the south Interlake, with the majority of intended acres down. Swaths are turning rapidly with hot, dry conditions.

Pre-harvest applications are being done ahead of straight cutting. In the north Interlake canola swathing is just starting.

Soybeans are mostly at the seed-development stage (R4 to R5). There has been a significant jump in soybean aphid numbers in the last week in the Teulon area. Some spider mites are being found in soybeans, but the numbers are low.

Corn is in the grain-filling stage; ranging from blister to milk. Flax bolls are turning brown, and straw is starting to turn. Field peas are mostly harvested with average to aboveaverage yields.

Pre-harvest applications and harvest of cereal crops continues with average to above-average yields in the spring cereals and good quality.

Soil moisture conditions across the region on cropland are rated as 60 per cent adequate and 40 per cent short, while conditions on hay and pasture are rated as 30 per cent adequate and 70 per cent short with the driest soil conditions in the Lundar/Eriksdale areas.

Second-cut haying continues, where regrowth allows, with yields ranging from 0.75 to 1.5 tons/acre. Many fields do not have enough regrowth to warrant a second cut. Many lowland acres that have not been cut for several years are being harvested due to drier conditions.

The Waterloo Boy Model N tractor This tractor company pioneered the use of gasoline engines

The Model N tractor donated by the estate of August Eliason of the Gimli area. Waterloo used a two-cylinder engine design as it was cheaper to manufacture than a multi-cylinder engine. Being a shorter engine block, the two-cylinder design could be more easily mounted crosswise on the chassis, simplifying the transmission and mounting the clutch out on the side of the tractor where it could be more easily serviced if necessary.

One further advantage claimed for a two-cylinder engine was that intake/exhaust manifold was relatively short with a corresponding short distance between the carburetor and the cylinders. So when burning kerosene there was a reduced possibility of vaporized fuel re-forming as a liquid as it travelled to the cylinder for combustion. PHOTO: Manitoba Agricultural Museum

T

he Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company was t h e f i r s t company to manufacture and sell gasoline tractors.

The company was formed in 1893 by John Froelich and a group of Iowa businessmen. Froelich built the first successful gasoline tractor in 1892 using a VanDuzen engine, mounted on a chass i s b u i l t by the Robinson Company. This tractor completed a 52-day threshing run in the fall of 1892. As a result of this successful run, Froelich decided to go into the manufacture of tractors, formed the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company and built four tractors. However, only two were sold and both were returned as unsatisfactory.

T h e Wa t e r l o o G a s o l i n e Engine Company then decided to move into the manufacture of stationary engines and abandon tractor manufacture.

In 1911, Waterloo moved back into the manufacture of tractors after several years of research and experimen-

tation. By 1914 the company had introduced the Model R. By the end of R production in 1918, 9,994 had been built. The Model R was subject to considerable design change during the production of the tractor; some changes were minor such as the substitution of flat spokes in the rear wheels for round spokes.

However, some changes were major such as the introduction of a detachable cylinder head partway through production.

The Model R was rated by the company as a 12-25 tractor.

In 1916, Waterloo introduced the Model N which also proved to be a good seller for the company. The Model N stayed in production until 1923. Late Model Rs were quite similar to the Model N with the exception of the transmission. The N had a transmission with two speeds forward and one reverse. The R’s transmission had one speed forward and one reverse.

The N started production with chain steering gear, however, partway through production, steering changed to worm gear. In total, 23,034 Model Ns were built. Both the N and the R were rated as

12-25. However, in a Nebraska tractor test the Model N was tested at 16 horsepower on the drawn and 26 horsepower on the belt. As the Model R was out of production by the time the Nebraska tractor tests were instituted, the R was never tested.

By 1915, John Deere recognized that without a tractor in its product line, it was in a weak position against IHC which offered a full line of farm equipment. The introduction of the Fordson Model F tractor in 1917 was a great success for Ford and posed further problems for John Deere. John Deere was experimenting with tractors but had developed no promising designs.

John Deere liked the Waterloo Boy designs as they we re s i m p l e, re l i a b l e a n d could be built at a price farmers found reasonable. In 1918, John Deere put in an offer of $2,350,000 for the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company and it was accepted. Waterloo Boy tractors continued to be sold under the Waterloo Boy name until 1923. Production ended to allow the Model D to enter production.

John Deere liked the Waterloo Boy designs as they were simple, reliable and could be built at a price farmers found reasonable.

John Deere discovered after its purchase of the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company, that Waterloo was experimenting with a new tractor design that used the basic engine design used by the Waterloo Boy tractors combined with a cast iron “bathtub” enclosing the transmission with the final drive. John Deere continued development of this design which resulted in the Model D design. Production of the Model N ended in 1923 to allow the Model D to enter production.

The Manitoba Agricultural Museum’s collection holds two Waterloo Boy Model N trac-

tors. One Model N is a 1917 model with chain steering which was donated by the Mayhew Brothers of Treherne.

The other N is later production N with worm gear steering. It was donated by the estate of August Eliason of the Gimli area.

2017 is the 180th anniversary of John Deere and, in celebration, the 2017 Threshermen’s Reunion and Stampede featured 180 Years of John Deere presented by Enns Brothers.

As well as the John Deere machiner y in the museum collection, the museum saw a wide selection of John Deere machinery from outside collectors to appear at the John Deere Expo. The John Deere collector group is quite strong with a number of outstanding pieces in its collections.

The Manitoba Agricultural Museum is open year round and operates a website at h t t p : / / a g - m u s e u m . m b. c a / which can provide visitors with information on museum and the reunion including location and hours of operation.

Prairie fare Enjoying Manitoba’s sweet corn season There’s nothing quite like fresh locally grown corn on the cob

BY GETTY STEWART Co-operator contributor

D

o you remember a time when corn on the cob was only available for a limited time each year? When sweet corn had to be cooked just hours after being picked? When corn on the cob was served for breakfast, lunch and dinner for two weeks straight? I always loved corn season, but by the time it was over, I was ready to wait for another year before I saw another cob of corn!

Times have changed and sweet corn has changed right along with it. Today’s sugarenhanced corn varieties mean corn can be stored much longer than it used to. Longer storage times means it can be shipped across continents and sold anywhere in the world without losing its sweet crisp flavour. And that means, we can now have corn on the cob any time of year.

Despite year-round availability, my favourite is still freshly picked, Manitoba-grown sweet corn at the height of summer. To help you enjoy Manitoba’s sweet corn season, here are a few tips and tricks for choosing, storing and cooking corn.

Selection Peeling back the husk, pricking the kernels

Direct grilled corn – no husk For a truly unique flavour, try grilling shucked corn cobs directly on the grill. You’ll get lightly charred corn kernels that are slightly dry with a nutty flavour. For anyone looking for something different, it’s worth a try.

1. Preheat barbecue to medium-high heat about 180 C or 350 F. 2. Remove husks and silk.

3. Place cobs on grill for 10 minutes rotating frequently.

Recipe source: www.GettyStewart.com

and tossing it about are rookie moves and not very courteous to corn sellers. Instead, try these techniques for choosing tasty corn.

Choose cobs that are medium sized compared to others in the bin. Small cobs may be immature and big ones may be overripe — go for middle of the pack. Of the mediumsize cobs, choose the ones that feel the heaviest.

Look for leaves that are tight to the cob and have nice green colour. To avoid wormy corn, check to ensure there are no tiny brown holes in the leaves near the top of the cob.

Feel the cob for uniform rows of kernels. If the cob feels irregular with gaps, not all the kernels will have filled out.

Look for silk (the tassel at the top) that is light brown and still green at the top of the cob. Silk that is very dark and dry from top to bottom is an indicator of old corn.

Storage Store corn in its husk in a bag in the fridge.

The cool temperature of the fridge will slow down the conversion of sugar to starch and keep your corn tasting sweet longer.

While those husking bins in the store are convenient, it really is best to keep the husk on the cob; it helps regulate moisture levels and protect your corn.

Even with today’s varieties and proper storing techniques, corn is best if eaten within five to seven days.

Preparation Grill it, microwave it or boil it; they’re all great ways to cook corn.

Boiling The classic way of preparing corn on the cob is to place freshly shucked cobs in a large pot of boiling water. But don’t cook too long! Today’s corn varieties require only four to six minutes for crisp juicy kernels, any longer and your corn will become soft and lose some of its sweetness.

Also, avoid adding salt to the pot of water as it may cause kernels to become tough. Don’t worry, a pat of butter melting on your hot cob of corn will provide plenty of flavour.

Microwave If you’re just making a cob or two, microwaving corn is the quickest and easiest method. Simply trim back the silk and remove loose outer leaves. Microwave on high power for three to five minutes. Peel back the leaves and check for uniform cooking throughout, add more time if needed. Be careful, the cobs and steam coming off them will be very hot.

Grilling Last summer my family experimented with grilling corn in several ways – direct grilling without the husk, wrapped in foil, husk on soaked in water and husk on not soaked. They all worked, but our two favourite methods are described below.

Corn salsa If you have leftover cobs of corn, strip the corn kernels and try this corn salsa.

Ingredients 2 c. corn niblets (removed from leftover cobs, frozen or canned) 3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped 2 tbsp. diced red onions 1/4 c. chopped cilantro or parsley

For a unique flavour, place shucked corn directly on the grill.

1 tbsp. lime juice 1 tbsp. canola oil 1 tsp. ground cumin 1/4 tsp. salt

Grilled corn in the husk – no soaking Super easy to prepare, corn grilled in the husk is juicy, sweet and delicious. The taste and texture is similar to boiled corn. While the outside of the husk chars, the inside gets hot and steamy with only a few grill marks where the husk is thinnest. This method can also be used over the hot coals of a campfire.

1. Preheat barbecue to medium-high heat about 180 C or 350 F. 2. Trim back silk and any loose leaves.

3. Place cobs on grill for 15 to 18 minutes rotating frequently. Husk will char but inside will not.

4. Remove charred husk outside as this part can be a little messy.

Recipe source: www.GettyStewart.com

1/8 tsp. black pepper 1 tsp. hot sauce (more or less as you like)

Instructions In a medium-size bowl, toss corn, tomatoes, onions and cilantro or parsley.

A quick and easy way to grill corn is with the husk on.

In a small jar with a lid combine lime juice, oil, cumin, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Shake vigorously to mix well.

Pour dressing over corn mix.

Serve with tortilla chips or as a side dish.

Makes: 3 cups.

ndrew Jackson ambled up the street in the direction of the café, his boot heels clicking lazily on the hard concrete sidewalk, his old Blue Bomber cap pulled down to shade his eyes from the hot Saturday morning sun.

The thermometer outside the kitchen window had said it was 24° when he left the house 15 minutes earlier, and the forecast had suggested a high of 31, which seemed at the moment to be on the low side rather than high. Andrew debated with himself the pros and cons of stepping into the hardware store just for a minute on his way by.

On the plus side, it’d be air-conditioned in there, which would be pleasant. On the minus side, Andrew had already proved beyond a shadow of doubt, that there was such a thing as having too many pairs of pliers, and he knew that there was every chance that if he went in he would come out with another superfluous pair.

By the time he had finished this line of thought he was well past the hardware store and the sound of the homeless pliers calling to him had faded away. A truck drove by on the street and honked as it passed. Andrew raised a hand in salute. “I wonder who that was?” he thought, but didn’t bother to turn and see.

When he reached the door of the café, Andrew paused to survey the vehicles parked on the street.

Grant Toews’s black Dodge Ram was there of course (Grant would be waiting for him) and Dave Fehr’s blue Toyota Tundra, and also a green Ford F150 that Andrew didn’t recognize. “Hooray for diversity,” he said to himself and then stepped inside into the cool temperature-controlled climate of the café.

Grant and Dave were sitting at the usual table by the window along with Abe Rempel who, Andrew now remembered, drove a green F150. He poured himself a coffee at the counter and headed over to join the trio at the window.

“Honestly,” Abe was saying as Andrew seated himself, “I don’t know how the guy ever got voted in. I mean nobody likes him. He’s a power-hungry egotistical narcissist with a vastly inflated sense of his own importance. Why they would elect him is beyond me.”

There was a moment of silence.

“Well,” said Andrew, “Americans are suffering from a long-term pattern of disenfranchisement, and maybe they couldn’t see any other way out.”

There was another moment of silence.

“What are you talking about?” asked Dave.

“Donald Trump.” said Andrew. “What are you talking about?”

“Bob Bargen,” said Abe. “Got himself elected head usher in church last week. Completely unqualified. Very sad.”

“You could always switch churches,” said Dave. “We have lots of room in ours.”

“I may be a Mennonite,” said Abe, “but I’m not that kind of Mennonite. I don’t switch churches every time my church makes a doctrinal error or elects a moron as head usher. If I did that I’d probably have tried every church from here to Steinbach by now and I’d be reduced to visiting the Springs Mega Church in Winnipeg once a month just to keep the wife happy.” He picked up his coffee cup. “I just don’t know who would vote for a guy like that,” he said again.

“Bob Bargen?” said Andrew. “Isn’t he the guy with eight siblings and 67 nieces and nephews?”

“That’s him,” said Abe. “Well there’s your problem,” said Andrew. “He’s got the rest of you outnumbered by 35 votes.”

“Also, maybe other church members are feeling disenfranchised,” said Grant. “Maybe they were just tired of the status quo and decided to elect a maverick.”

“He’s not a maverick,” said Abe, “he’s a moron.

Last week he made me sit next to Jake Funk, and he knows we don’t get along.”

“Whoa, that’s bad,” said Dave. “Just curious though, who in your church would you like to sit next to?” he asked.

“Nobody really,” said Abe. “Bill Hiebert maybe, but he doesn’t come to church anymore, so that’s out.” He pushed his chair back and got up. “It’s a sad state of affairs,” he said, “when your congregation elects an usher who just wants to tell everybody where to sit.”

The other three were silent as he turned and headed for the door.

“Isn’t that actually an usher’s job?” said Andrew when Abe was gone. “Telling people where to sit?”

“Pretty much,” said Grant.

“Maybe Bob Bargen isn’t the problem,” said Andrew.

“An astute observation,” said Grant.

“Bob Bargen’s always a problem,” said Dave, “but there’s no such thing as a problem that doesn’t get worse when Abe Rempel gets involved.”

“Truer words,” said Grant.

Try growing eggplant next year Not the easiest plant to grow but oh so rewarding

By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

M

oussaka anyone? If you like traditional Greek food, you no doubt know that moussaka is made from ground beef cooked in a tomato-based sauce, béchamel sauce, cheese, and of course the most important traditional ingredient, eggplant.

Besides moussaka, eggplant can be prepared in a variety of ways, both on top of the stove, in the oven, and even on the grill. Grilling slabs of vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli has become quite popular and thick slices of eggplant can be cooked in the same manner — brushed with oil and grilled until brown.

If you haven’t tried to grow your own eggplant, you might like to try doing so next year. Perhaps buy a few in the grocery store or better yet at a farmers’ market this year and try some recipes and see how you like them. Although not the easiest plant to grow, you will be amazed at the dark-purple eggplants that you can get from your very own garden.

Eggplant is native to India, which has a very hot climate, so it very definitely is a hot-weather plant. It is a member of the same family as the tomato and we all know that tomatoes do best in hot weather. Eggplants demand even warmer temperatures and they need a longer growing season.

Start by sowing seed indoors eight weeks before you will be transplanting the seedlings outdoors. The seeds take about two weeks to germinate and

they require warm temperatures to initiate germination. Place the seeding tray in a warm spot, such as on top of the refrigerator or under grow lights in a warm furnace room. You might even supply heat by placing the tray on a heating pad or other heat source. Small seedlings can be transplanted after they develop a couple of sets of true leaves

— which look somewhat like the leaves of tomato seedlings, so if you are growing both, label the trays carefully.

The seedlings will also need to be kept in a warm environment free from chills and they should not be planted outdoors until the temperatures are consistently warm, which in my Zone 2 would be early June. Since eggplant is a warmweather crop, flower production will not occur until daytime temperatures get quite warm. Some Manitoba gardeners increase the heat units around the plants by either growing them in a small greenhouse or by partially enclosing the plants inside cloches. In both cases the protective structures will have to have openings to prevent the plants from being overheated and killed and also to allow pollinators to get at the flowers to ensure fruit development. Many gardeners grow their eggplants in large pots (12 inches or larger) so that they can move them during the growing season to maximize the heat units the plants receive.

Flowers of eggplant are an attractive purple and similar to the flowers produced by tomato plants — except for the colour. After the flowers have been pollinated they die and tiny fruits begin to form. During this time lots of water, nutrients and warmth are required.

A regular feeding regime should have been established and watering will depend on rainfall — unless the plants are grown under a cover. In this case they will need to be watered regularly and because of the buildup of heat under a cover, frequency of watering will need to be increased.

Small, immature fruits are usually dark purple (there are white varieties and the shade of purple is somewhat dependent on the variety) but as the fruits age on the plants they become a lighter shade of purple. The fruits are produced on sturdy plants with thick, dark-purple, prickly stems (wear gloves when picking the fruits). The green foliage is coarse and has a texture similar to tomato leaves. After the plants reach a height of about 35 cm they can be topped by removing the growing tip. This will encourage the plants to become bushy and produce side stems. Usually the fruits are harvested when they are about 12 cm in diameter, although some of the long, slender Asia varieties — which tend to be a bit earlier — will not get that large.

During the summer it is best to use the eggplants soon after harvest. The fruits will keep in the fridge for a few days but they are soft and spongy and don’t store well for the long term.

Eggplant is subject to the same diseases and pests as tomatoes, various blights being the main problems. A fungicide spray may be used to ward off such problems. Insects don’t seem to be a bother too much, although slugs might be a problem and can be deterred by putting rough sand or diatomaceous earth around the plants.

Eggplants don’t like cool weather and cannot tolerate frost, so the fruits should be harvested before temperatures become low in the fall.

Metro Belbas has been dedicated to providing facts and figures to Environment Canada

By Darrell Nesbitt Freelance contributor

W

eather is something we all talk about, but for the past 30 years, Metro Belbas of Rossburn has done more than that.

The farmer and greenhouse operator has been keeping daily records of temperature and precipitation, as well as notes on the general character of weather, and submitting monthly info to Environment Canada.

Fo r h i s d e d i c a t i o n a s a n Environment Canada weather volunteer, Belbas was presented with the Morley K. Thomas Award and a Certificate of Merit

by Allan Martin, meteorological inspector, Meteorological Service of Canada this summer at the farm located approximately six kilometres north of Rossburn on Provincial Road 264.

“While it has been a bit of a sacrifice over the years, it has also been very rewarding,” said Belbas, who along with wife Joan, raised two daughters and a son on their family farm. “Precipitation levels often vary from our neck of the woods to in town, however, the figures submitted are official for Rossburn North.”

A 30-year award is especially significant, from a climatological point of view, because that is when climatologists start to get a proper understanding of the climate in a particular area.

Among the 1,200 volunteer observers across Canada, Belbas completes twice-a-day precipitation readings and enters the information into the Environment

Allan Martin (l) presented the award to Metro Belbas for his 30-plus years of weather reporting. photo: COURTESY MSC and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) data collection website called “COOL” (Cooperative Observations On-Line).

This information is then readily available to be accessed by any interested parties (agriculture/ utilities/public/government/etc.).

The information can be found on ECCC’s national weather information site: weather.gc.ca and more specifically the historical data pages: climate.weather. gc.ca/historical_data/search_ historic_data_e.html. A search

for “Rossburn 4 North” will give access to the 30-plus years of data collected by Belbas.

Along with the collection of data, most volunteers are severe weather spotters and help inform the forecasters of significant weather in an area, such as damaging winds, thunderstorms, hail and tornadoes.

With many observers aging, Environment Canada is finding it hard to attract young volunteers, and automated sites have filled in some of the data information.

The Environment Canada climatological program has used the services of volunteer weather obser vers since 1871, when Professor Kingston, the father of the weather service in Canada, recruited a network of 176 volunteer observers, which has now grown to 1,200 volunteers.

The Morley K. Thomas Award is a one-time plaque presented upon completion of 30 years of voluntary service. Morley Keith Thomas began his career with the Meteorological Service of

Canada (now the Atmospheric Environment Service) in 1941.

After serving time with the RCAF as a meteorological officer during the war, Thomas moved to the Climatology Division of the Meterological Service in Toronto.

Currently he is a climate and meteorology consultant and is researching and writing the history of meteorology/climatology in Canada for the AES. Darrell Nesbitt writes from Shoal Lake, Manitoba

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 55,000-bushel grain elevator and balloon annex at the railway siding of Indian Springs, on the CNR Carman Subdivision in the Swan Lake First Nation, was built by United Grain Growers in 1951. It replaced an earlier elevator constructed by the provincial government around 1916. During its 24 years in operation, there were just two agents: Tim Conrad (1907-94) and his son Roland. The elevator closed on December 5, 1975 and was removed from the site. Photo: University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections

Here’s How It Works:

Published by Glacier FarmMedia LP, 1666 Dublin Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3H 0H1

Last week's answer

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

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