There’s talk of restricting dicamba use in Arkansas following many crop injury complaints there this growing season, but there’s no such talk in Manitoba.

here’s talk of restricting dicamba applications in Arkansas and pos­ sibly other states, but not in Manitoba.

“I don’t think we are any­ where near the situation that they are having in the States (with dicamba crop injury c o m p l a i n t s ) ,” M a n i t o b a Agriculture weed specialist Jeanette Gaultier said in an interview Sept. 7. “We seem to be in a much better situation, although it is still occurring.”

The University of Missouri says 3.1 million acres were damaged by dicamba, an older and more volatile herbicide that has renewed popularity with the recent introduction of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Soybean and cotton with XtendFlex® Technology — both of which tolerate dicamba and glyphosate.

To control dicamba drift Monsanto and BASF devel­ oped a dicamba formulation that’s less volatile.

The labels on both require farmers to follow a strict protocol when applying the weed killer.

Bu t e a r l i e r t h i s s e a s o n the states of Arkansas and Missouri temporarily banned dicamba applications after a raft of complaints that dicamba drift injured nearby susceptible crops. Then last month Arkansas’ plant board recommended prohibiting dicamba applications after April 15 — a move Monsanto opposes, saying it’s not based on scientific data.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is separately considering banning dicamba applications after a set dead­ line next year, Arkansas offi­ cials advising the agency told Reuters news service.

A cutoff date aims to pro­ tect plants vulnerable to the chemical. In Arkansas, the proposed April 15 deadline would also prevent most farm­ ers from spraying dicamba weed killers on growing soy­ beans, a major selling point for the products.

In an email Sept. 8 the Pesticide Management Reg­ u­l a­t ory Agency said it would respond to questions about dicamba injury complaints in Canada next week.

n t r o d u c i n g s oy b e a n s into a developing country’s agriculture community is more complex than just putting the seeds in the ground.

It also requires a major shift in thinking in relation to crop production and management, according to a University of Illinois agriculture economist.

Peter Goldsmith says only with this shift in thinking will the new crop meet expectations of increasing profits and better pay for workers.

“Convincing farmers in d e ve l o p i n g c o u n t r i e s t o grow soybean as a commercial crop involves a change in how they far m,” said Goldsmith. “It will be different than what they’re used to. It may require new equipment and training. Farmers who have been growing native staples like cow peas for generations have tacit knowledge about the seed, how to store it or where to buy it locally next year, the best row spacing, and other production details.”

Farmers don’t just need soybean seed. They also need the whole production package to make it successful. file PHOTO

It’s only when these practices are adopted that enough profit is left on the table for improvements to quality of life. Under the lowest-input scenario there was no profit at all as a result of adopting soybean.

“To me, the traditional low-input scenario in northern Ghana is unacceptable,” Goldsmith says. “Asking farmers to grow soy without inputs is like giving them a tractor

with three wheels or a pump with no handle. The outcome is going to be bad. Farmers will get frustrated, produce one crop and then stop. It’s a waste of donor dollars.”

Goldsmith says his findings from the three scenarios aren’t pessimistic about soybean catching on in developing countries. Rather, it is a caution to be realistic and appropriately investing in these programs.

U of M plant breeder earns international accolades The University of Manitoba’s Rob Duncan is a rising star in the world of plant breeding and just earned a prestigious U.S. award

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD

“It was a very nice honour, a nice surprise to be recognized by the National Association of Plant Breeders and peers.”

Co-operator staff

Manitoban is the first Canadian to earn a major international plant-breeding award.

Rob Duncan, a brassica breeder with the University of Manitoba, has been named winner of the National Association of Plant Breeders (NAPB) Early Career Scientist Award.

Duncan, who grew up in rural Manitoba, was given the award in early August during the NAPB annual meeting at the University of California-Davis, the same school Duncan graduated from with his doctorate in 2009.

“It was a very nice honour, a nice surprise, to be recognized by the National Association of Plant Breeders and peers,” Duncan said.

“I have many people to thank over the years — different mentors and breeders whom I’ve worked with at the University of CaliforniaDavis and Texas A&M and the University of Manitoba and excellent staff to thank for it.”

The award was given to a researcher who “exhibits the ability to establish strong research foundations, to interact with multidisciplinary teams, and to participate in relevant professional societies,” and who received his or her doctorate in the last decade.

Jim McFerson, award committee chair, called Duncan a “simply outstanding early career scientist,” and a “humble, gracious and dedicated scientist who inspires and leads by example.”

“Even as an early career scientist he has been quite successful in obtaining external funding and shown extraordinary leadership in team research. He has served the University of Manitoba on a whole range of committees,” McFerson said.

Coming home Duncan had made a name for himself internationally before the award, having completed a university stint in Sweden, received

is among those transferable topics. In 2016, Manitoba’s canola disease survey found that blackleg was present in over 80 per cent of fields, making it the second most common pathogen in the province after sclerotinia.

team mainly focus on developing improved hybrid cultivars that are high in erucic acid — which is mainly used for industrial purposes, lubricants, cosmetics, a lot of household products — in comparison to canola that would be for edible uses.”

The university has paired with industry partners on the project, he added.

In 2013, Duncan’s team received what was, at the time, the third-largest Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s (NSERC) Collaborative Research and Development grant and one of the largest grants for high-erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR).

At the time, Duncan guessed that the five-year, $3.885-million grant would help increase yield over open-pollinated cultivars by “at least” 10 to 15 per cent.

Three new hybrids have already hit the market in Western Canada out of Duncan’s program.

“Those hybrid cultivars have improvements in terms of agronomic performance and yield and disease resistance and seed quality,” he said, adding that much of the research also applies to canola, rapeseed’s close genetic cousin and one of Manitoba’s most popular crops.

Blackleg, one of the most prolific canola diseases in Manitoba,

his doctorate from the University of California and joining Texas A&M University as the wheat and oilseed specialist. He grew up on a certified seed farm near Miami, Man., and now he’s come full circle back to Manitoba.

He attended the University of Manitoba, now his employer, after high school, graduating with a bachelor of science in agronomy in 2001 and a master’s degree in plant pathology two years later.

Duncan spent the next years taking his skills abroad, completing a university stint in Sweden before relocating to the United States for his doctorate and eventually taking a job as an assistant professor and wheat and oilseed specialist with Texas A&M University.

By 2012, however, he had returned home to Manitoba, setting up shop with the University of Manitoba and beginning work developing canola and rapeseed genetics.

That work, particularly his efforts to develop high-erucic acid rapeseed, helped push his name to the top of the candidate list, McFerson said.

“We have an excellent team here of seven technicians and many students have been on the project over that time,” Duncan said. “That research and that

McFerson also pointed to Duncan’s experience as an educator.

His classroom skills have earned him awards including the faculty of agriculture and food sciences teacher of the year and teaching merit awards from both the University of Manitoba and the North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture.

Since heading the brassica breeding program at the University of Manitoba, Duncan has mentored 14 graduate students and his students have gone on to win 19 awards both in and outside Canada.

“Those graduate students who are in the research program, they do a lot of the basic scientific research on different traits that are applicable to canola or higherucic acid rapeseed and when they have any breakthroughs or findings, we can bring those over into our variety development program,” Duncan said.

Manitoba’s crop residue burning regulation restricts daytime burning between August 1 and November 15.

Burning at night is illegal. Burning within Burning Permit Areas requires a permit issued by Manitoba Sustainable Development.

If you do not comply, you may be fined as much as $50,000.

Class is in session

“Probably one of the biggest advantages to our breeding program here is that the students in our brassica breeding program can train within an academic breeding program that’s releasing commercial cultivars, which in today’s academic breeding settings is quite rare either in Canada or the U.S.,” he added.

The program has since added canola protein to its list of interests. Duncan says his team will be working with industry and the Canola Council of Canada on both the quantity and quality of protein.

“Our canola industry, its main product is the oil but we’re really focusing on improving protein products coming out of that and potentially turning the meal and the protein into a co-product rather than a byproduct of the oil extraction process and improving the value of the protein coming out of there, maybe one day even utilizing it for human consumption,” he said.

Duncan has been asked to speak at next year’s NAPB annual meeting in light of his win. The meeting will be held in Guelph, Ont., the first time Canada has hosted the gathering.

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Talking taxes

A

few years back I found myself watching an HBO Canada series set in Winnipeg called “Less than Kind.”

One of the key characters was the patriarch of the Blecher clan, Sam, played by Maury Chaykin. Sam was a part-time driving school operator and full-time wheeler-dealer. Another recurring character was Tito, whom Gord Gilmour Sam had taken under his wing.

Editor In a particularly funny scene between the two, Sam found himself under the auditor’s microscope one day at his shop at precisely the same time Tito stopped by to talk a bit of business.

Not realizing the third party in the room was the taxman, Tito was a bit too free with his words and revealed too much.

His final statement, right before he found out he was talking to the auditor was, “It’s like you always tell me Sam. It’s our job to make it and hide it. It’s their job to find it.”

I tell this tale because it’s important to realize who you’re talking to when you’re talking taxes, and just how much you’re revealing. And talking taxes, it would appear, is going to be an ongoing theme for agriculture in the coming weeks and months.

In the past few weeks the issue of changes to personal corporations has really risen on the public agenda. I hear people talking about these changes. One of the most common phrases I also hear is “doctors and farmers.” As in, that’s who will be hit hardest by these changes.

In one way it’s good that people realize it will affect farmers and are sympathetic enough to you that you’re held up as an example. In another way, however, know you’re being used. Doctors and farmers are sympathetic characters and it’s no mistake they’re the face of the opposition.

A lot of different professions use these kinds of personal corporations, from plumbers to marketing gurus and everything in between. During the energy boom it was apparently very popular amongst petroleum engineers, for example, who were able to lower their tax burden on healthy six-figure salaries to somewhere around 25 per cent, compared to the far higher rates their salaried colleagues were paying. But you don’t hear anyone waxing on about poor engineers or lawyers, they’re simply not as sympathetic.

The risk here, of course, is your sectoral goodwill will be depleted by others and won’t be there when you need it for other crucial conversations. How this tax conversation is held is going to be very important.

I’ve been following some of the back-and-forth in opinion columns and even online forums, just to get a sense of things. One thing I have seen, repeatedly, is that the folks who are arguing against the changes often take an unfortunate tone.

It can be summed up as a smug superiority, that they’re better and more deserving of these breaks than the chumps who work for a salary because they’re braver and take on more risks and create jobs. In the worst cases, they couldn’t contain their contempt for the people they were interacting with.

In some cases the job creation argument is undoubtedly true. In other cases, as noted, it’s a lot more debatable, and incorporation really is a shell game to lower taxes. Regardless the reality of the situation, taking that confrontational approach isn’t going to win any friends or influence many people. It could, in fact, see people get their backs up and result in an outcome nobody wants to see.

One issue that seems to gain traction amongst those who don’t really have a strong opinion one way or the other, is the question of “income sprinkling” where a corporation pays family members such as spouses and children, thus lowering the overall tax burden. They look at it and wonder, “why can’t I do that?”

The answer, of course, is because the country could never afford it. It would leave a smoking crater in the national bottom line. So I am coming to suspect that one will be tough to defend because allowing only one group to do it smacks of unfairness to wage earners.

Another way to look at this is in its similarity to the Harper government’s crackdown on income trusts. That government saw a tax strategy becoming too popular for its own good, affecting revenues dramatically, and killed it, ignoring all protests.

Like it or not, that precedent suggests change is coming, which is going to make how this conversation is held even more important.

Farmers need to decide on the elements that are really important to the sector, what they can live without, and the substance and tone of the conversation they’re about to have. Having a united front with clear goals for the sector is paramount.

They’ll also need to decide just how much water they’re willing to carry for someone else — and how willing they are to have their good name used. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Groundhog Day

BY ALAN GUEBERT Farm & Food

T

he calendar may show Labour Day but it feels more like Groundhog Day. The movie, I mean, not the shadowy holiday.

The reason why, as Bill Murray’s boorish character learns, is because we’ve been here before. In agriculture, old-timers see these repetitive, big harvest-low price loops as the proverbial “farm problem.”

After decades of these endless loops, however, maybe the real “problem” isn’t on the “farm.” Maybe the real problem is our loopy farm policy that all but guarantees long stretches of little-to-no profit interrupted by short bursts of (usually) disaster-inspired, low yields and high profits.

That’s our past and it will likely remain our future because farmers, ranchers, and taxpayers are about to go for another lap in the farm policy hyperloop machine. Congress is back in Washington working on the 2018 Farm Bill.

By all accounts, however, the new law will mirror the old law because nobody has any appetite for change. New ideas, it seems, are as rare in rural America as they are in Washington.

That means the well-worn, low-and-goinglower price centrepiece of recent Farm Bills, crop insurance, will again be the centrepiece of the new Farm Bill of the future.

Like crop insurance, other tired policy elements won’t even bother to shower and shave before going back into the new law: there will be no meaningful conservation cross-compliance, no program payment caps, no increases in Land Grant research funds, no needed increase in rural infrastructure spending, and no new money for beginning farmer programs.

All, either individually or collectively, could be a starting point to meaningful farm policy reform. But, no, no, no, no, and no.

OUR HISTORY:

We know this because, as Bill Murray finds out over and over in the 1993 movie, no is easy.

Here’s how Senate Ag Committee chairman Pat Roberts (R-KS) recently explained why the status quo will remain: “This is no time to be proposing revolutionary ideas with the Farm Bill... crop insurance is, for many, the most valuable tool in the risk management tool box.”

Besides, he added, he “doesn’t want to make cuts in crop insurance, but rather reduce regulations that impact farmers and ranchers.”

While chairman Roberts didn’t point to any specific regulation, his committee colleague, Nebraska Republican Sen. Deb Fischer, did recommend the elimination of one that not only isn’t a regulation now, it won’t be in your lifetime or mine.

Fischer said there is a “movement by some activists,” reported the Columbus (NE) Telegram, “to tie more conservation programs into any kind of farm payments.”

That would be very bad, she said, because “... putting an extra burden on our farmers isn’t the way to go.”

“Extra burden” is an interesting and revealing phrase for what should be at the very centre of all Farm Bills: a clear public benefit in return for the subsidies received by farmers.

Accountability, after all, is how well-deserving farmers and ranchers build trust with hungry, helpful taxpayers.

But today our farm and political leaders often are so scared of their own shadow — a primary challenger, a knee-buckling White House tweet, some awful “activist” with an idea that challenges convention — that few pause to consider what change could mean for rural America’s economic and cultural future.

And yet change is what is needed to make tomorrow a new day, not another Groundhog Day again and again and again.

September 1961

O

ur Sept. 7, 1961 issue reported on “high productivity and drought resistance” on a new “synthetic grain species” developed at the University of Manitoba. The cross between durum wheat and rye, later named triticale, had been grown on 35 acres on the farm of A.V. Arnott at Darlingford, and it was estimated it would yield 50 bushels per acre. The year had been the driest on record in Western Canada, and wheat in the same area was yielding only 15 bushels.

A large advertisement from Carling Breweries (beer was not mentioned) touted Churchill’s merits as a seaport.

“In late July, the first ocean ships come down The Bay, and tie up at Churchill. From then until early October, the port hums with activity. Cars, tractors, china and other goods arriving from Europe are loaded for their 1,000-mile rail journey south to Winnipeg and their connection with transcontinental railways.”

It also said, “In addition to being a busy seaport, Churchill is also one of Canada’s leading whaling centres.”

The editorial in the following week’s issue was titled “Rapeseed is here to stay,” noting 1960-61 crop year exports of 485 million pounds (9.7 million bushels, 220,000 tonnes) and forecasting that plantings could reach two million acres in the next few years.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Give peas a chance If we do, they’ll grow the western economy

By Naomi Christensen and Carlo Dade

The global market for specialty food ingredients, such as pea protein, is about US$100 billion annually and growing.

Canada West Foundation

T

he Canadian Prairies are well known for being global leaders in pulse production and exports, but we didn’t get here by being complacent. We are now in the midst of an opportunity to become the premier region for pulse fractionation, a relatively new processing technology that breaks pulses into protein, starch and fibre fractions for use as ingredients in food processing.

The Prairie provinces already have an encouraging start. Developing a fractionation hub next to our existing multibillion-dollar pea, lentil and bean industries will cut shipping costs and turn what was once a competitive disadvantage — distance from market — into an advantage.

Already, millions of new investment dollars in fractionation facilities have been earmarked across the Prairies. But competitors in Europe and the U.S. are also starting to realize that the opportunity is huge — and will only grow in the future.

The global market for specialty food ingredients, such as pea protein, is about US$100 billion annually and growing. The greatest annual growth in the ingredient sector is from plant proteins, including pulses. While there are more than 34,000 food and beverage product manufacturing establishments

in Canada and the U.S., only a minority incorporate pulse ingredients into their production.

The opportunity for expansion in the North American market alone is enormous, with pulses processed on the Prairies ideally located close to both the pulse producers and the customers — food product manufacturers.

In North America, the EU and even China, the health and nutrition food sectors are key markets for ingredients derived from pulses, such as protein and fibre. Pea protein, for example, is used in granola and energy bars, high-protein pasta, baby food, veggie burgers, egg alternatives and even beverages and smoothies.

Pulses have a higher concentration of protein than cereal crops and rice and can be used as ingredients to achieve gluten-free status. Pulse fractions are useful in non-niche food processing, too — fractions stabilize viscosity in sauces and dressings, add crispiness in breaded products by reducing oil absorption and retain moisture in meat products.

In addition to human food, protein fractions are used in pet and animal feed, and the global pet food industry, already valued at nearly US$50 bil-

Sicker cows I read Martha Hall Findlay’s Aug. 13 article (Canada’s supply management system for dairy is no longer defensible) bashing the Canadian dairy industry with some amusement.

It was particularly ironic to note her use of the sick cow metaphor. It might be easier to find sick cows in countries like the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, and Russia, where they allow the use of bovine somatotropin to boost a cow’s milk output by up to 20 per cent.

The use of synthetic somatotropin is banned in Canada, Australia, N.Z., Europe, Japan and Israel, probably because its use results in a higher incidence of mastitis in dairy cows which requires the increased use of antibiotics.

In the U.S., direct govt. dairy subsidies and growth hormones can result in lower retail milk costs.

North of the border we may pay a little more for dairy but usually quality costs more no matter what you are buying.

Let’s hope NAFTA negotiators can keep enough tariff in place to prevent the dumping of subsidized dairy products on the Canadian market by countries whose quality standards don’t match ours.

Brian Duncan Miami, Man.

lion, is growing more than five per cent annually.

The three Prairie provinces share characteristics that make them attractive locations for fractionation. They are the heart of Canadian pulse production; all lentil and chickpea crops seeded in Canada are in the west, as is 98 per cent of dry peas and more than 50 per cent of beans.

Transportation infrastructure to move processed pulses along the supply chain impacts investment.

Manitoba and Saskatchewan’s inland ports are attractive, as are Edmonton and Calgary’s freight transportation hubs. Our rail and road links to West Coast ports and into the U.S. ensure pulse fractions can be shipped to key international markets.

Thanks to the oil downturn, the Prairies have an available supply of technically skilled workers, especially in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Governments do not need to initiate new spending to increase fractionation; rather, some policy changes at all levels can reduce the challenges that affect investment. For example, provinces or municipalities may need to review axle weight restrictions on roads that would

serve as key transportation routes to and from fractionation facilities.

Operating costs, including labour and electricity, play a large role in investment decisions. French plant-based ingredient company Roquette specifically made note of sustainable hydroelectricity availability in its announcement earlier this year of a $400-million pea-protein facility in Portage la Prairie.

Portage was chosen out of 40 sites under consideration in Canada and the U.S. As Alberta and Saskatchewan rapidly move away from the cheapest source of electricity (coal) to a greater volume of more expensive renewables, they must consider how changes in electricity policy affect future investments in other sectors such as agri-food processing. The federal government also helps by negotiating tariff reductions with key markets, as tariffs are often higher on processed products than on raw commodities.

In the past year, plans for new fractionation facilities have been announced in Bowden, Alta., Moose Jaw, Sask., and Portage la Prairie. But we should not be satisfied with this alone. Governments at all levels should make sure their policies are not impeding further investment in fractionation facilities. The opportunity for the Prairies to be a global leader in pulse production, exportation and processing is waiting to be seized.

Technology troubles

Human nature and the cycle of technology adoption affects commodity price cycles

BY SKIP TAYLOR NDSU

T

oday, we are in the middle of an agricultural downturn.

Just a few years ago, the production agriculture sector was booming, along with most input suppliers.

Now, net U.S. farm income has fallen 81 per cent and the near-term prospects are not positive.

Production agriculture has been through this phenomenon many times in the past, and each cycle brings hope that we have learned from our mistakes of the past.

The first step in understanding this is to ask the question: Why does this occur and what may be the recurring reason?

Most events that triggered a boom in agriculture can be identified as external to agriculture. The last few are the First World War (1914-19), the Second World War (1941-45), the Russian Grain Deal of 1972-73 and the Bioenergy Policy Act of 2005.

Each time, prices increased rapidly as demand increased, but within a few years, producers responded by increasing supply enough to push prices back to pre-event levels, beginning a period of low incomes and financial stress.

There are many reasons, but technology is an important part of this equation.

An individual farmer knows that his action will have no impact on the markets. Farmers can produce and sell as much as they desire with no impact on prices. A producer’s logical response to a market event is to maximize production and income by incorporating all of the new available technology.

A producer’s logical response to a market event is to maximize production and income by incorporating all of the new available technology.

This is shown in the representative supply-and-demand curves for an individual producer. The supply curve is almost vertical because the producer cannot change output substantially once a production cycle is started. The demand curve is horizontal because the producer can sell as much as he is able to produce at a constant price. His production has no impact on the price level.

When a positive price shock occurs, the producer responds during the next production cycle by increasing production to capture higher prices, knowing that his production will not impact the price level. When supply increases, the price level does not change.

In recent price shocks, producers responded during the next few years with increased production (46, 35, 24 and 22 per cent, respectively) to capture the short-term increases in demand and prices.

The after-effect comes from the aggregate impact of the agricultural industry sector. In an economist’s terms, the supply and demand for agricultural commodities at the industry level are very inelastic,

which means that small changes in supply have a relatively larger impact on price.

Producers within a production cycle cannot change production (supply). Once an enterprise is started, it has to finish.

The same is true on the demand side. Most commodities are eaten by some biological agent and that agent can consume only so much. The shift of the supply curve, due to increased production during the following production cycle, lowers the price. That price decrease lowers the industry’s gross income and, in turn, lowers the farmer’s net income.

The rapid increase in production during a high-price period is due to farmer’s use of new technology. This sets off a new cycle of low prices, during which producers cut back and new technology is not used until the next price cycle.

With the different supply-anddemand schedules for the individual and the industry, what is good for the individual has an undesirable effect on the industry. The growth in technology will continue during this low-price period and will be waiting until the next demand shock to be implemented. This will end the highprice part of the cycle and return the industry to the longer low-price part of the cycle.

This cycle will continue because human nature does not change.

Producers will continue to respond to rising prices with new technology to increase production, which will set in motion the next price cycle.

FROM PAGE ONE dicamba drift Continued from page 1

Arkansas had more dicamba complaints than other places because the state didn’t approve use of the new, less volatile dicamba formulations, Monsanto spokeswoman Trish Jordan said in an interview.

“We truly, truly believe their (Arkansas’) situation was made worse by the fact that, one, they never approved our (new dicamba) technology, and two, because it was never approved they had no training or education for growers in that process — none,” Jordan said. “That’s a big problem. It really shows how important that education and that outreach is.”

Just two states over in Georgia where farmers and applicators were trained to use the new formulations there were “virtually no complaints,” she said.

Almost all farmers in the U.S. and Canada had a positive experience with the new Xtend crops, and where there were problems, they can be corrected, Jordan said.

“I am very grateful we are not in the same situation (as the U.S.),” Gaultier said.

There have been 15 to 20 Manitoba cases of suspected crop injury due to dicamba drift or spray tank contamination, she said.

That fits with the 19 or so calls Jordan said Monsanto Canada received involving about 430 acres.

With Manitoba soybeans under stress from diseases and dry soils it was sometimes hard to figure out what was ailing the crop, Gaultier said.

In some cases dicamba-damaged crops can recover, especially if they are young, she said.

“I was surprised when I went back (to plots of non-Xtend soybeans sprayed with dicamba to simulate spray tank contamination) and looked at them weeks

later and they recovered quite well,” Gaultier said.

Both Gaultier and Jordan agree there’s still room to reduce dicamba drift.

“The thing to do this fall and winter is to work together with Monsanto and BASF and agronomists and producers to try and refine those application methods that reduce the risks,” Gaultier said.

There are lots of hypotheses about why there were more dicamba complaints in the U.S. than Canada. For starters there were 25 million acres of Xtend soybeans and cotton in the U.S. versus 700,000 acres of Xtend soybeans in Canada — 250,000 in the West, most of which were in Manitoba.

“We exceeded our targets by quite a bit in Canada in terms of Xtend acres,” Jordan said. “In the East we were budgeting somewhere around 385,000 acres and I think we had 450,000. In the West we were almost double what we expected.”

Jordan also partly blames the media for keeping the story in the news and failing to put the complaints in perspective.

“What we’ve seen is 99 per cent of all farmers had a very positive experience with the technology,” she said.

But Jordan also said Manitoba farmers plant more wheat and canola than their American counterparts — two crops that are not susceptible to dicamba drift damage.

Manitoba is typically cooler and drier too, perhaps making temperature inversions less likely.

Monsanto says tank mixing and then applying herbicides such as dicamba and glyphosate, with two different ways of killing weeds, is a good way to combat herbicide-resistant weeds.

Weed scientists agree saying it’s more effective than rotating herbicides. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Tips to reduce dicamba drift Cleaning out the spray tank is a critical step for preventing damage to other crops

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

T

he best way to avoid dicamba drift is to follow label directions.

Although dicamba can be applied to Xtend soybeans from pre-emergence to early flowering, applying pre-emergence has advantages. One is if your crop isn’t up your neighbour’s might not be either and can’t be damaged by drift.

“Dicamba provides residual control for a short period of time,” Terry Buss, a pulse crop extension specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, said during the Crop Diagnostics School in Carman in July.

Research shows earlier weed control boosts crop yields.

Monsanto also recommends applying dicamba with nozzles that produce coarse, to ultra-coarse, droplets such as Turbo TeeJet Induction and Air Induction. Those nozzles require application rates of at least 10 gallons of water an acre.

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

Farmers shouldn’t spray during inversions or when wind conditions are dead calm, Buss said. The spray might not penetrate the crop canopy and could move to a neighbouring field.

“There is potential for a lot of drift damage if we are not doing things properly,” he said.

Farmers and their employees should also pay more attention to what they and their neighbours are growing to avoid not only drift, but spraying the wrong field, Buss said.

Also be aware of recropping intervals.

Manitoba’s Guide to Field Crop Protection 2017 says after applying one litre of Monsanto’s dicamba (called XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology) per acre, farmers should grow only cereals, corn, soybeans or white beans the year after.

After applying a half-litre per acre, only grow cereals, corn, soybeans, white beans or canola the next year.

“If applications are made after Sept. 1, or if

dry weather persists after application, crop injury may occur the following spring,” the guide states. Cleaning all the dicamba out of a spray tank isn’t hard, but critical.

“Eight ounces of dicamba solution — not the concentrated product, but the solution left in a big sprayer filled up with something else — can cause (injury) symptoms,” Buss said.

“If you leave three gallons of solution in that sprayer... and then fill up and go spray something else susceptible you can actually cause yield loss.”

Monsanto’s XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology label calls for cleaning sprayers immediately after application and using a triple-rinse procedure as follows: 1. A fter spraying immediately drain the sprayer, including boom and lines. Do not allow the spray solution to remain in the spray boom lines overnight prior to flushing.

2. Flush tank, hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.

3. Inspect and clean all strainers, screens and filters.

4. Prepare a cleaning solution with a commercial detergent or sprayer cleaner or ammonia according to the manufacturer’s directions.

5. Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system.

6. Flush hoses, spray lines and nozzles for at least one minute with the cleaning solution.

7. Repeat above steps two additional times to accomplish an effective triple rinse.

8. Remove nozzles, screens and strainers and clean separately in the cleaning solution after completing the above procedures.

9. Appropriately dispose of rinsate from steps one to seven in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

10. Drain sump, filter and lines.

11. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.

All rinse water must be disposed of in compliance with municipal, provincial, and federal guidelines. allan@fbcpublishing.com

TAXES Continued from page 1

the use of private corporations to reduce personal income taxes.

But as Oct. 2 and the end of the 75-day public consultation period looms, farm advisers grow increasingly worried their clients have yet to figure out just how significantly these new rules will affect them.

Succession planning This impacts nothing less than farmers’ ability to pass a farm to the next generation, said Mona Brown, an attorney and tax law expert with Brown and Associates Law Office in Carman.

“They’re really harming that possibility of keeping the family farm in existence because there won’t be a way to do it without paying huge tax,” she said.

“And the reality is these rules are now going to be so complicated that people will be forced to hire professionals who will be forced to charge a bunch of dollars just to try to sort out the rules for each and every situation. I cannot think of one farm client who will not be affected by these rules.”

Brown has prepared a document that details how restricting capital gains deductions earned by minors and restricting the use of family trusts will affect farmers and small-business owners.

This is targeting critical tax planning strategies used by many farmers and small-business people and doing so retroactively, she states in that document.

Income splitting, paying dividends to family members, and use of lifetime capital gains deductions, will all be subject to new restrictions.

For example, children under the age of 18 who receive a capital gain will not be able to use their deduction on any property, and capital gains allocated from a family trust will no longer be eligible for a deduction.

All capital gains earned by an individual who is related to the farmer will be subject to a “reasonableness test.” Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will be looking at whether the amount is “reasonable” given the work done for the business by the person claiming the exemption, and any income over what CRA deems reasonable will be taxed at the highest marginal rate.

the capital gains exemption,” she writes in her summary. “If the sale is to a related party, it won’t even be treated as a capital gain, but as a dividend, with even worse tax treatment.

This can be a major problem where two brothers are farming together and one brother is buying out the other’s family.”

As of January 1, 2018 family trusts can no longer be used to allocate capital gains to beneficiaries to use their capital gains exemptions either.

Tax law experts also have significant concerns with the provision of a one-time ‘special election,’ allowing individuals to use capital gains deductions under the current tax rules until Dec. 31, 2018. For starters, doing so will mean paying a tax called the alternative minimum tax (AMT) — and it will be steep. It’s an option that basically favours the wealthy, Brown said.

“There’s a number of reasons why people won’t be able to use that exemption,” she said. “The

main one is they won’t be able to pay the alternative minimum tax. It could be $50,000.

If you’re a wealthy person you may be able to afford that. But if you’re a farmer who doesn’t have that kind of disposable income, it’s just going to be beyond you.”

Little consideration What this essentially boils down to is higher taxes looming, and far greater complications for succession and estate planning, making selling the farm to family members more costly than selling to someone outside the family from a tax point of view.

There seems no regard at all given as to how this will affect the family farm corporation, Brown said.

“I don’t think it was the intention to muck about with farmers, but they seem to have no concept of what they’ve done.”

“They should have exempted farmers from all of this. These

rules were made in Ottawa and Toronto by employees who were trying to attack certain very specific transactions predominantly done by professionals who had management companies and management partnerships. But what they’ve done is used a sledge hammer to try to solve a problem that only needed a thumbnail clipper. They’ve tarnished everyone with the same brush and changed the rules for everyone.”

At the end of last week pressure continued to mount from a new 42-member Coalition for Small Business Tax Fairness to abandon the scheme.

Farm organizations across the country, which are part of the coalition, have also decried the timing of the consultations, saying it doesn’t give farmers enough time to tackle the complexities nor allow for meaningful consultation.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) is urging farmers and their organ-

izations to contact their MPs immediately.

Along with other farm groups it wants these tax reform proposals taken off the table and reconsidered until more fulsome consultation has taken place.

“These tax proposals represent transformative changes that would bring about major uncertainty for farms that are incorporated, especially for multi-generational family farms,” said CFA president Ron Bonnett in a news release August 31. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Family labour As well, the government is tightening rules that recognize the labour of farmers’ children under the age of 25 who work on the farm. If they’re not working there on “a regular, continuous or substantial basis,” they will not be considered to be working there at all, and therefore not eligible to receive dividends, Brown also says in her summary document.

The practice of having children and spouses subscribe for common shares in the farm corporation to split income is also being targeted.

“If the government decides that the contribution of labour and capital by the child is insufficient, the proceeds of a sale can be taxed and be considered ‘split income’ and the capital gain will be taxed at the highest rate and not eligible for

New STARS app calls for help 24-7 Smartphone app ideal for those working alone and in remote locations, say STARS officials

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

A

new smartphone app w o n’t m a k e h a r v e s t safer, but it could make it easier to get help if emergencies occur.

Farm workers who are working alone in remote locations now have access to a new technology developed by Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service (STARS).

SOLUS™ is a new smartphone app that enables a person to receive 24-7 emergency assistance anywhere in Canada where a cell signal can be received.

When activated, the paid service connects the individual with a live person in the STARS Emergency Link Centre (ELC).

STARS notifies the user’s predefined emergency contacts, while at the same time dispatching the necessary emergency response. Mapping software provides the location of the person in trouble.

“Our goal for this app is the same as always... to help someone on what is likely their worst day, possibly saving their life.”

Erin Sharp STARS’ director, business development

The integration with STARS’ Emergency Link Centre is what sets it apart from other apps that monitor individuals.

“The difference in this membership-based service is that when you activate the button you are connected directly to Emergency Link Centre that then connects you to the 911 call centre in your area and to emergency service personnel if that’s what you require,” said Grant Therrien, base director for STARS in Manitoba.

“It’s certainly not a way to bypass 911. It’s more of an enhancement.”

An additional feature of the service is STARS’ Neighbour Helping Neighbour safety network, which can include others the user wants notified in an emergency. They can often get there before emergency services and can provide a first line of assistance. SOLUS™ users are encouraged, though not required, to enrol in the program.

SOLUS™ was developed as a personal version of the safety and monitoring services STARS offers larger companies, among the 4,000 registered sites with its Emergency Link Centre.

“Our goal for this app is the same as always... to help someone on what is likely their worst day, possibly saving their life,” said STARS’ director, business development, Erin Sharp.

The app is suitable for anyone working, travelling or playing alone in rural or dangerous environments, where medical

assistance may be far away and difficult to connect with.

The word solus is derived from the Latin word meaning “alone” or “unaccompanied.”

STARS understands the agricultural workplace very well and sees this as an important safety tool for farmers, Therrien said.

“We are hopeful that this is something that will meet the need in this industry and others who work alone and in remote areas who want a quick solution to activate some help,” he said.

“We’ve already started responding to unfortunate incidents related to that sector. We just want producers to be safe and know we’re there if something happens.”

Users can subscribe online for $9.99 per month and download the app from iTunes and Google Play stores.

Foodgrains Bank harvests rolling in The grassroots harvests help ensure food security throughout the world

BY LARRY GOMPF Co-operator contributor

A

group of Glenlea-area farmers took time to CHIPIN for global food security late last month.

Under a blue sky and ideal harvesting conditions on the morning of August 30, the farmers gathered with their equipment to quickly thresh 115 acres of Brandon spring wheat for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank under the Creating Hope In People In Need program known as CHIPIN. With support from local businesses and volunteer time and equipment from local farmers, the 115 acres were seeded, fertilized, sprayed and nurtured under ideal growing conditions in 2017. On harvest day there was an accumulation of five combines, an equal number of grain carts and enough trucks of various sizes to whisk the grain away to the nearby G3 elevator as fast as it came off the field.

The yield was excellent measuring 88 bu./acre with a protein level of 13 per cent and a bushel weight of 65 pounds, making the project a great success in the eyes of the organizers.

Amanda Thorsteinsson, communications manager for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, said the excellent

yields this year from many of the 250 projects across the country are especially significant because it will mean access to more funds from other sources too.

“What is donated from the sale of crop production from all the projects across Canada is matched by the Government of Canada on a 4:1 basis,” she said. “It is a commitment to a maximum of $25 million a year for a five-year program, so it’s very significant.”

In 2016-17, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank provided over $41 million of assistance to support 900,000 people in 35 countries.

The grassroots efforts are organized by local farmers who wanted to help share their success with those less fortunate. Doug Bartmanovich who is secretary-treasurer of the Glenlea project, credits its success to the various business partners who contributed to bring the project together. The land is leased from the University of Manitoba at Glenlea.

The SeCan seed variety Brandon was donated by Manness Seeds of Domain, fertilizer was compliments of Domain Co-op and other crop inputs were provided by Bayer CropScience, BASF and CPS of Ste. Agathe. In addition, the local G3 elevator tacked on a $5/tonne premium on the delivered grain.

“We are thankful that CHIPIN Glenlea was able to produce a great crop of wheat in 2017 thanks to many helping hands including the Lord’s,” said Bartmanovich.

The Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of 15 churches and church agencies working together to end global hunger.

Other harvests throughout the province will also be coming off in the next few weeks, including a Killarney-area harvest of 160 acres of canola that were taken off this week.

Fatal ATV collision A 55-year-old man is dead following the incident STAFF

O

n Se p t e m b e r 4 , just after 7 p.m., Tre h e r n e RC M P received a report of an all-terrain vehicle collision in the RM of Victoria on Road 40 North, close to the intersection of Road 65 West.

When officers arrived on scene, the ATV was in the middle of Road 40 Nor th and an AT V trailer was flipped over in the north ditch. Early investigation indicates the ATV was travelling eastbound on Road 40 North when the driver lost control and the ATV overturned. It is undetermined at this time if the ATV did a complete rollover.

The 55-year-old male dr i ve r a n d l o n e r i d e r from Holland, Manitoba was transported to hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. He was not wearing a helmet. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the collision. He was travelling alone at the time of the incident. The investigation is ongoing.

olumes are slowly increasing at cattle markets across Manitoba as more auction marts open for the fall season.

Nearly 3,000 cattle made their way before buyers during the week ended Sept. 8, compared to a little over 1,000 animals the week before.

“The good-quality yearlings were very decent; we had about 100 new-crop calves here this week, so we’re just getting started,” said Robin Hill of Heartland Livestock at Virden, adding the animals arrived at a good time.

“It’s been a while since large drafts of yearlings sold at a live auction.”

Around the province, live cattle and feeder cattle prices generally improved by $3-$5.

Many of the purchases came from local operators as well as buyers from the west.

More cattle will come to market as the month progresses and farmers get off their combines, Hill said. “Definitely by the end of the month.”

Prices for butcher cows and bulls slipped a bit around the province.

At one outlet, prices for cows fell $10 as ranchers brought in a large number of animals due to the dry weather. Bulls traded a little easier, though.

Some softening on the slaughter side is typical for this time of year, Hill said. “The packers know there’s lots of cows that are going to come to town… This is when they

Hill noted the rising Canadian dollar was also cutting into ranchers’ profits.

“On the feeder cattle, it’s not going to help in the marketplace,” he said. “We are seeing the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) go higher today but with the dollar increasing we haven’t gained anything probably.”

On the feed side, Hill said there wasn’t as much grass for cattle to eat these days.

“Pasture conditions are drier than they have been over the past five years.”

Moving forward, Hill advised farmers to call ahead and book their cattle, as bookings are already being made for sales down the road.

“So there should be a lot of cattle coming to town.”

Producers are also reminded to get their premise ID numbers from the government this fall. The measure becomes mandatory in 2018.

More than 500 cattle paraded through a ring in northern Japan in the “Wagyu Olympics” to win prizes and renown as the most fertile — and mouthwatering — examples of “wagyu” beef, increasingly popular among foodies.

The six-day contest that ended on Sept. 11 saw breeders of wagyu, prized for its luscious marbling, compete for fame in categories such as best beef cattle, best bull and most fertile cow.

“I really can’t believe it,

I’m so happy,” said 69-yearold Tadanao Sato, who claimed a trophy and bragging rights for nurturing Fumiayame, who won top prize for her beauty and high fertility.

Fertility is judged by the shape of the cow’s shoulders, its toned legs, and the “topline,” or the flatness of the back.

Beef quality is judged by the cattle’s fat marbling and leanness.

Overseas demand for wagyu has soared since widespread import bans were lifted more than a decade after an outbreak of mad cow disease in 2001.

In 2016, beef was Japan’s top export in the agricultural and livestock category, raking in 13.6 billion yen (US$125 million).

“These last few years, the boom in Japanese food, as well as widespread praise for the high quality of wagyu, have caused overseas demand to grow rapidly,” said Toru Takano, an official of the National Federation of Agricultural Co-operative Associations.

Though “seed cattle” winners at the five-yearly event, such as Fumiayame, go home to be cosseted and produce future generations of winners, the beef division winners are slaughtered the day after the judging and are promptly frozen and auctioned at the Olympics.

The most expensive beef went for 54,001 yen (US$498) per kilo, and the most moderate for 3,241 yen (US$29.77).

Irma and Harvey create a cautious tone in U.S. markets Phil Franz-Warkentin CNSC

CE Futures Canada canola contracts fell to the bottom edge of their two-month trading range during the week ended Sept. 8, as seasonal harvest pressure and a soaring loonie provided a double whammy of bearish news.

Weather conditions were close to ideal for farmers to make good progress across much of the Prairies, and the resulting influx of sales off the combine saw the commercial pipeline fill right up.

Visible canola supplies in the country had dropped to their tightest level in four years the previous week, at 511,500 tonnes. However, with farmer deliveries of over half a million tonnes over the following week and only lacklustre exports, the stocks were back at the much more comfortable level of 803,700 tonnes in the latest Canadian Grain Commission data released Sept. 8.

The seasonal harvest pressure should keep a lid on canola over the next month, with any upside dependent on outside factors in the meantime.

The Canadian dollar climbed well above 82 U.S. cents during the week, following an unexpected move by the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates. The rising currency cut into crush margins by about $10 over the course, and could also dissuade some future export business.

Statistics Canada also released its ending stocks report for the 2016-17 crop year on Sept. 6. The canola carry-out of 1.3 million tonnes was at the lower end of trade expectations. However, any support for prices was short lived, as all eyes remain focused on the new-crop harvest.

Wheat ending stocks of about 6.9 million tonnes were at the top end of pre-report estimates, but were also largely brushed aside in the face of the 2017 harvest and generally better-than-expected yield reports.

In the U.S., the bulk of the corn and soybean harvest is still to come and the futures kept to relatively sideways trading ranges during the week. The U.S. Department of Agriculture releases its monthly supply/ demand report on Sept. 12, and the data should provide some nearby direction for the markets.

Average trade estimates call for slight declines in both soybean and corn yields, which should be somewhat supportive.

The threat of Hurricane Irma was also in the background, as the massive storm was set to make landfall on Florida over the weekend (Sept. 9-10). While the storm may not have an immediate impact on major grain- and oilseed-growing regions, the general sense of caution was still felt in Chicago.

Activity in currency and financial markets stemming from both Irma and Harvey could provide some nearby direction as harvest operations start up in the U.S. Midwest.

Rising loonie cuts into western Canadian wheat bids Seasonal harvest pressure also drags on cash wheat values

BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN CNS Canada

H

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada continued to trend lower during the week ended Sept. 8, as seasonal harvest pressure and a soaring loonie weighed on values despite gains in the Minneapolis futures.

Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were down by $2-$6 per tonne across the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a crosssection of delivery points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about $228 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $245 in Alberta.

tion to location, but generally softened by about $14, to range from about $9 below the futures to $8 per tonne above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollardenominated 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$188 to US$202 per tonne, which was unchanged on a U.S. dollar

basis on the week. That would put the currency-adjusted basis levels at about US$35-$49 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 $42 to $59 below the futures.

Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids posted small gains in most regions, with prices ranging from $155 to $170 per tonne.

Average durum prices were steady to

down by as much as $19 per tonne, with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $265-$269 per tonne.

The December spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted at US$6.4675 per bushel on Sept. 8, up 15 U.S. cents from the previous week.

Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The December K.C. wheat contract was quoted Sept. 8 at US$4.415 per bushel, up 2.75 U.S. cents compared to the previous week.

The December Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled Sept. 8 at US$4.3775, down one U.S. cent on the week.

The Canadian dollar settled Sept. 8 at 82.43 U.S. cents, up roughly two cents on the week.

Plotting course for the future of fed cattle price reporting Canada’s cattle industry has been watching with a wary eye as price data thins, but how to fix the problem?

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD

“We want to see which options float to the top. I don’t know that there’s any of them that we want to say ‘this’ is our preferred option or not.”

Co-operator staff

T

he cattle industry is weighing its options for a better price-reporting system that will address a chronic shortfall of information.

In recent years cattle price data has become thin on the ground, something that has big implications for insurance programs, trade disputes and day-to-day decisions that rely on accurate market information.

Canada’s reporting system is voluntary, said Brenna Grant, manager of Canfax Research Ser vices, the organization responsible for collecting cattle price data in Western Canada.

“It’s always a challenge and we’re always encouraging producers to report,” she said. “We have confidentiality rules that we comply with in order to have a certain number of different sources reporting, but we also have to see repeatability in the prices reported. If you don’t meet those criteria, then we can’t publish prices.”

Many producers, she noted, either forget or neglect to call Canfax with their prices.

Brian Lemon, Manitoba Beef Producers general manager, pointed to the impact on insurance programs, which use market prices to establish compensation, as well as price data’s role in the country-of-origin labelling (COOL) dispute between Canada and the U.S. The law required pork and beef to be marked with which country an animal passed through at various stages of production, causing Canadian cows and pigs to be segregated and, it was argued, less attractive to U.S. processors.

The issue went through multiple dispute settlement rounds and appeals before the World Trade Organization ruled that Canada and Mexico could impose over $1 billion in retaliatory tariffs in December 2015. COOL was repealed soon after.

“The price reporting that we had in the past was a big part of us being able to show the damage that the U.S.’s mandatory country-of-origin labelling had done to our industry here in Canada and it was a big part of our World Trade Organization fight against the COOL policies in the U.S., so it’s important that we have that information as an industry,” Lemon said.

At this point, it is unclear if that same trade dispute role will come back into the forefront now that the North American Free Trade Agreement renegotiation has opened.

Lemon said the conversation on fed cattle price reporting is “not about preparing for NAFTA or any changes that might be coming,” although he added that

she said. “You might have large volumes, but it’s still a struggle to meet those confidentiality requirements and the robustness in terms of repeatability.”

Ongoing issue Lack of data is affecting the price transparency of the cattle market, with a number of knock-on effects. PHOTO: canada beef

price reporting will be critical if the U.S. and Canada clash on cattle in the future.

Grant, however, noted a different, more immediate tie-in with NAFTA talks.

“Going into any trade agreement or a renegotiation of something like NAFTA, the first thing you’re going to do is evaluate where you’re seeing value in trade and live cattle trade is very important for the Canadian beef industry because with a free trade agreement, prices are arbitraged in the larger U.S. cattle market. By having price discovery here in Canada, we’re then able to see how prices are changing relative in relationship to the U.S.,” she said.

Asking for feedback This summer, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) asked for member feedback on seven possible courses of action, and the pros and cons of each, on fed cattle price reporting: • Do nothing; • Communicate with government and producers on thin market reporting impact; • Study the risks of low reporting to each beef sector; • U pgrade reporting agencies’ systems for automatic (and therefore easier) data downloads; • Delay price reporting; • Pay producers to report; and • E xplore mandator y price reporting.

The online survey ran from June 5 to July 14 and results were presented to the Price Discovery Task Force and during CCA meetings in early August.

“We want to see which options float to the top,” Lemon said. “I don’t know that there’s any of them that we want to say ‘this’ is our preferred option or not.

I think at this point we’ll let the survey do its work and let the

folks around the table have their debates.”

Sector-specific risk assessment would fill a gap left by the 2014 Price Discovery Task Force, but critics say the importance of robust data on pricing mechanisms is already well established and that such a sector-by-sector risk study would be of limited value.

Likewise, upgraded systems may lower the effort it takes for producers to report, but may prove costly.

“It becomes very expensive very quickly for a couple of reasons,” Grant said. “First, there are a lot of different programs out there that feedlots use and so you have to provide interoperability with a lot of different programs. Second is that not all of the feedlots use all of the functions within those programs, so they maybe use them for performance data collection, but not their prices. Their prices might be kept separately in a spreadsheet, so trying to get something that actually works in terms of making automatic data downloads from producers very easy for them to do has the potential to be quite expensive.”

More communication, however, may be more feasible, she added.

“In a voluntary system we always have to be communicating the reason why producers are doing this and recognizing the fact that producers have been doing this voluntarily for over 40 years and have been able to successfully have very robust cash reporting,” she said.

The survey noted, however, that Canfax has already attempted reaching out to producers.

“An information-only approach has had limited success,” the survey reads. “The value of this approach assumes that this topic is not well understood at this point.”

Fewer cash sales The thinning cash market has added to price discovery concerns. Reporting agencies in both the U.S. and Canada have noted smaller volumes passing through cash markets as more and more producers turn to formula pricing and forward contracts.

“We need to recognize that’s a change that’s happened across the North American industry and be accommodating and adjusting to those marketing realities and also continually encouraging those producers to continually report,” Grant said.

The survey argues that the thin cash market may mean data is insufficient even if producers are paid to report.

In a 2014 paper published by the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, Ted Schroeder of Kansas State University noted that weekly data sets were including fewer transactions as the cash market thinned, to the point that prices reported by Canfax or the U.S. Department of Agriculture were questionable in some weeks.

“In such situations, relatively small numbers of transactions that are not representative can have economically important influences on reported prices,” he wrote.

In fall 2014, Canfax introduced enhanced price reporting, which covers the expanding forward contract and net formula prices as well as the cash and grid markets. By 2016, Grant noted that cash volumes had over doubled, although part of that increase was due to marketing incentives making cash more attractive.

Formula and contract volumes had also increased, although enhanced price reporting is still thin in those areas.

“That comes down to the consolidation within the industry,”

It’s not the first time the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association has wrestled with price discovery and scarcity of market data.

In 2013, Canfax had four weeks where no fed steer prices were reported in Alberta and three weeks without fed heifer prices.

The next year, those numbers increased to nine weeks without steer prices and 25 weeks when no heifer prices were reported.

The lack of data raised concern about the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program, which requires weekly prices to operate.

In 2014, the CCA made a concerted effort to bolster reporting, passing a motion that “fed cattle price reporting to a third party (e.g. Canfax, BFO, FPBQ) become a program requirement for all federal/provincial programs that require fed cattle price data to operate.”

The motion hit an obstacle, however, when it was brought before the federal government.

The government was concerned that reporting as a program requirement would be hard to enforce, cause logistical and administrative problems, might affect different beef sectors unequally and might lower participation in business risk management programs.

Two and a half years after the motion was tabled, government asked industry to revisit the issue.

“In part, I think it’s as much about logistics,” Lemon said.

“You know, who collects the data?

Who owns the data? Making sure that privacy rights and commercial sensitivities are maintained, proprietary information is not shared unwittingly. It’s about doing it the right way, I think, as much as anything else, but I think that everybody accepts that this kind of information is important to our industry.”

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association is still meeting with provincial and federal governments on the issue, Grant said. astockford@farmmedia.com

Ramping up on phosphorus Building soil phosphorus when fertilizer prices are lower may have big impacts for future profit, tour attendees heard Aug. 30 at the Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives Brookdale site

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

P

roducers got a side-byside comparison of different phosphorus treatments in alfalfa Aug. 30.

The phosphorus ramp, presented during the Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives (MBFI) Brookdale field tour, showcased consecutive strips of alfalfa grown with progressively more phosphorus. The ramp tracks crop impact in the three years following a one-time phosphorus application ranging from no fertilization to 100 pounds per acre.

“Basically, it’s a determination of what application rate of phosphorus is ideal for alfalfa in your environment,” presenter Ray Bittner of Man­ itoba Agriculture said. “Every environment is different with different moisture, different soil types.”

Two ramps were established in spring 2016 at the MBFI Brook­dale site north of Brandon and in the Interlake. Final results are expected at the end of 2018.

Phosphorus is a farmer’s friend in the alfalfa field.

Higher phosphorus treatments showed progressively better yields in both locations, Bittner reported, although protein content showed little difference between high and low applications.

Bittner found that a 60pound-per-acre treatment best balanced economic cost and yield benefit in the Interlake, although he stressed that the ideal treatment will depend heavily on what soil phosphorus levels are prior to the ramp-up.

“Both of them benefited from higher phosphorus levels in yield,” Bittner said. “Possibly more importantly, we noticed that the plant forage phosphorus levels were higher on higher application rates, so the plants knew that they were being more fertilized. They were actually putting more into the forage for phosphorus. It actually did make it into the system even though we did apply it in May and started harvesting in the end of June.”

Soil sat at roughly nine parts per million of phosphorus at Brookdale when plots were seeded in 2016. Bittner estimates that soil will need to reach 14 parts per million on the Olsen scale (a common measure that estimates available phosphorus) before the field will begin yielding fully.

While protein counts yielded little difference, the relations h i p b e t we e n p h o s p h o r u s and number of stems flipped over the two years. In 2016, researchers saw higher-phosphorus plots with fewer stems, while in 2017, the opposite was true.

canada’s ag-only listings giant PRINT | MOBILE | ONLINE

“Take your alfalfa earlier,” Bittner advised. “Almost everybody is guilty of taking alfalfa too late and getting a high yield, but a low leaf yield in com­ parison to stems.”

Bittner also argued that any phosphorus application might be more effective in midsummer, directly after the first cut and timed to take advantage of the midsummer rains to move it into the soil.

Building up The largely economic argument stemmed from years where phosphorus prices spiked, causing farmers to take a hit to their wallets if they wanted to fertilize.

In 2008, global fertilizer price skyrocketed, including phosphorus-based products.

According to a 2016 report by the University of Guelph, which tracked regional farm input prices over the last decade, some

“Both of them benefited from higher phosphorus levels in yield. Possibly more importantly, we noticed that the plant forage phosphorus levels were higher on higher application rates.”

Ray Bittner Manitoba Agriculture

fertilizer prices jumped four to five times in the United States from 2007-08. At its peak, phosphorus-based fertilizer topped $1,000 or even $1,200 per tonne in both the U.S. and Canadian Great Lakes region, the report read.

At the same time, media reports in May 2008 stated phosphorus prices had more than doubled, from $608 to $1,364 per tonne, in the few months since December the previous year. By 2009, prices had fallen once again.

Bittner encouraged farmers to build soil phosphorus during low-cost years and limit expense during times when phosphorus cost is high.

Glenn Friesen, forage business development specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, said the phosphorus ramp might also impact best practices for stand longevity and weed competition, along with yield and forage quality.

“For us to showcase a phosphorus ramp in that part of the world — it’s new to that

part of Manitoba. We haven’t done that kind of work before,” he said. “We know that fertility is very important in forages. It’s often thought of last in some areas and just based on the economics in the last while, it’s not on the forefront of a management priority for hay lands and so we thought that it would be valuable to have a demonstration on the farm to show that in those soil types, phosphorus fertility can play a very important role in your hay stand performance.”

Stand longevity is being studied through the phosphorus ramp, although current data is limited since both the Interlake and Brandon stands are young, Bittner said.

More definite longevity data is expected by the end of the experiment. astockford@farmmedia.com

Going green all the way to the bank

A new pilot will pay producers for sustainably sourced beef, but exact payment amounts are still up in the air

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

S

elect beef producers may soon get paid for sustainability, something that has been a long-dangled carrot for farmers who have been told that auditing their farms will add value.

The recently launched Canadian Beef Sustainability Acceleration pilot, run through Cargill, Verified Beef Production Plus (VBP+) and beef tracker Beef InfoXchange Systems (BIXS), will pay credit back to participating farms during its minimum oneyear tenure.

Virgil Lowe, VBP+ business manager, said the pilot hopes to establish a confirmed supply chain for sustainable beef and test the chain of custody system with which meat sourcing is tracked.

Participating farms must be audited through VBP+ before joining the pilot. Animals are tracked through BIXS to confirm they were raised and finished on VBP+ operations before being shipped and processed through Cargill.

Meat is then sold to participating customers, who have agreed to fund the producer credit in exchange for access to verified sustainable beef. The pilot will then distribute credit back to the producer.

Major retailers McDonald’s and Swiss Chalet are the first to sign on with the pilot. Both restaurant chains have submitted a target volume of sustainably sourced beef based on the amount of meat

they currently purchase from Cargill.

“This is proof that we do have dollars coming down the supply chain from end-users saying, ‘We will pay producers to do further VBP+ on-farm practices,’ and that’s extremely encouraging, I think, for our industry and for the whole sustainability initiative in general,” Lowe said.

Emily Murray, Cargill’s general manager for McDonald’s beef, compared the pilot to a Kickstarter campaign, where potential customers can fund a product they would like to see hit the market.

Cargill hopes to see more enduse customers join McDonald’s and Swiss Chalet. The company has reached out to their beef customer bases, including grocery stores, to gauge interest.

“There’s definitely other customers of our system that we believe might be interested in being able to talk about this sourcing from sustainable sources,” she said.

Open to expansion VBP+ producers may be the first paid for their efforts on sustainability, but Murray says she hopes they will not be the last.

Cargill plans to align the pilot project’s standards with the incoming Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) framework, expected later this year. The roundtable, which includes dozens of members ranging from producer groups and packing plants to retailers and researchers, is currently finalizing its sustainability guide-

“Our goal is just to get as many people as we can because I suspect the demand is going to outstrip the supply, at least in the near term... ” Virgil Lowe VBP+ business manager

lines for processors. The finished framework will include sustainability indicators for multiple points through the beef supply chain.

“Producers need to be audited to the CRSB standards that are being set and so, as the CRSB recognizes other auditing bodies, then we’d recognize those audits as well and as they recognize other chain of custody and tracking methods, we’re open to recognizing those too,” Murray said.

The Cargill employee also said she would be open to partner with other processors if a customer wanted to join the pilot, but did not buy meat from Cargill.

Logistics and hurdles Lowe maintained that there is an ample supply of beef from audited farms, despite the ongoing transition from Verified Beef Production to VBP+. The previous program expanded its scope last year.

“I would encourage anyone who is VBP registered now to tran-

sition to VBP+ as soon as possible because the credits are only going to be available for VBP+ registered operations, not VBP operations,” Lowe said.

Already registered farmers must complete a new round of training to bring themselves up to date before changing over to VBP+. As of June, an estimated 1,000 producers were registered with both VBP and VBP+ combined.

The challenge, Lowe said, will come from a complex production cycle, which often includes multiple ownership changes that must now be tracked, along with the sustainability status of each farm an animal goes to.

“Our goal is just to get as many people as we can because I suspect the demand is going to outstrip the supply, at least in the near term, and the more people we can get signed on sooner, the more supply we will have,” he said.

The pilot is a leap of faith at this early stage, Murray admitted. The credit has been promised, but no dollar amount has been set, and Murray says those amounts will largely depend on the number of producers and end-use customers in the pilot.

“We’re really hoping to, in the next couple of weeks, lock down a couple of other customers. So, knowing how many different customers are going to be contributing over the same supply will help us give an indication of how much the credit will be,” she said. “The other aspect is how many producers are on board and carcass weights and efficiency gains and all these things that we’re going to be looking at.”

Growing interest Murray added, however, that she has been impressed with both the producer interest and customer commitment to the program thus far.

“They’re willing to fund now to make a claim later,” she said.

“They can’t say anything that’s third-party endorsed to the consumer today about the sustainability of their beef, but they’re paying for it anyway. That should reinforce the interest of our endusers in this kind of a program.

Do you know if you’re going to get paid right now during the pilot?

There is not a guarantee of the exact amount or how that will work, but if we don’t build a supply chain, then we won’t deliver anything to these customers who are saying they’re interested and then we’re setting ourselves up for defeat.”

The pilot will begin tracking cattle and beef volumes as of October, with the first payouts expected in early 2018.

Cargill hopes to evolve the pilot into a more permanent program, although Murray says the CRSB’s marketing guidelines, such as logo use, should come first.

“Once that’s done and we have a sense of what the standard is for the consumer side messaging, then we really understand what our North Star is and we really know what our customers are going to want and that’s when we can build a program,” she said. “As long as our customers are saying, ‘We want this,’ we will build a program around it.” astockford@farmmedia.com

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

Continued warm, but wetter Issued: Monday, September 11, 2017 · Covering: September 13 – September 20, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

T

he weather models were surprisingly accurate over the last week or two, thanks in part to a fairly persistent ridge of high pressure. For this forecast period it looks like we will see a shift in our overall weather pattern. The question is whether this will be a temporary shift or a more permanent one.

This forecast begins with a large and relatively slow-moving area of low pressure, something we haven’t seen in a while. The general flow across our region over the last month or so has been out of the northwest, which has kept us fairly dry. This flow will now become southwesterly, which will help open the doors for some moisture to move into our region.

The weather models show a large area of low pressure developing to our southwest on Wednesday and then lifting northeast during the second half of the week. We’ll see increasing clouds on Thursday with a chance of showers and thundershowers developing in the afternoon. Most areas will likely see a continuation of showers on Friday as the main area of low pressure begins to move in. Currently, it looks like

the best chance for measurable rainfall will be during the day on Friday and into Friday evening, as the main energy from the low pushes through. Temperatures, even with the cloud cover and showers, look to be mild, with highs expected to be around 20 C with overnight lows in the low teens.

Saturday will see a mix of sun and clouds along with the chance of some more showers as we deal with the back side of the departing low. Things should clear out by Sunday as high pressure builds in. This area of high pressure will slowly slide to the east during the first half of next week, giving us some nice dry weather.

Temperatures will start off cool on Sunday, but we will see temperatures warm up each day, with highs by Wednesday expected to be in the low to mid-20s.

Looking further ahead, the weather models are not showing any signs of a significant cooldown right through to the end of the month.

Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 13 to 24 C; lows, 2 to 11 C.

A summer of average temperatures

Manitoba also saw a low number of significantly heavy rain events this summer

BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

A

s we hit the second full week of September there has been another Category 4 hurricane to hit the U.S. mainland; this time it was hurricane Irma. Irma made landfall near Marco Island, Florida early on Sept. 10. While the damage inflicted by Irma looks to be significant, the storm will not bring the torrential rains like Harvey did, due to the relatively fast motion of the storm. With hurricane season entering the peak period, we’ll continue to watch the tropics to see what else might be in store.

Now, on to this week’s topic, the summer of 2017 across agricultural Manitoba. If I was forced to use just two words to describe this summer it would have to be average and dry. In fact, when we look at temperatures across the three main centres of Winnipeg, Brandon and Dauphin, it’s surprising just how average it was.

Summer is typically seen as the three-month period encompassing June to August. In this past summer’s data, Winnipeg’s mean summer temperature was 18.5 C, which was bang on the average. Brandon had a mean summer temperature of 17.3 C, which was 0.1 C below the long-term

I think everyone could have guessed it has been a dry summer. I know I am starting to see cracks in the soil that are big enough for me to slide my hand into.

average. Meanwhile, Dauphin had a mean summer temperature of 17.8 C, which was 0.4 C above average. I decided to look at a longer period of time and figured out the average temperature since the beginning of April to see if anything changed. Turns out that both Winnipeg and Brandon were both 0.1 C above their longterm average, while Dauphin was about 0.3 C above average. All in all, from a temperature point of view, summer was pretty darned close to average, with maybe the exception of Dauphin, which was a little above average.

Now on to precipitation. I think everyone could have guessed it has been a dry summer. I know I am starting to see cracks in the soil that are big enough for me to slide my hand into. The question, then, is, “Just how dry has it been?” I looked at the total amount of precipitation that fell during the three-month summer as well as the April-to-August period and created the tables you see here. Table 1 shows the Juneto-August period, with total rain-

fall, followed by the average, with the final column showing the per cent of average. Table 2 covers the April-to-August period.

For the three summer months, both Winnipeg and Brandon saw similar amounts of precipitation and both stations came in at the low 60 per cent range when compared to average. Dauphin was a little “wetter” as it saw about 85 per cent of average precipitation during the summer. When April and May were added in, we find Winnipeg’s per cent of average stayed the same at 62 per cent and Brandon dropped from 65 down to 60 per cent of average, while Dauphin dropped down to 76 per cent. Looking through the data for all the agricultural Manitoba weather stations for the period of May to August, the driest location I could find was Kane in the central region, with only 43 per cent of average precipitation. The wettest station was Ethelbert in the northwest region, which saw 105 per cent of average precipitation.

What I found interesting — and it makes sense when you

look at the totals — was the low number of large rain events this year. Digging through the data of over 60 stations, I counted a total of 16 events that had rainfall totals greater than 40 mm. Over half of these events occurred on either June 14 or on July 22. The heaviest one-day event I was able to find occurred on July 19 when 79.3 mm of fell in Reston. Since I couldn’t find another station nearby reporting any significant rainfall on that date, I decided to check the historical radar images for that area.

When I checked out the radar, at first it didn’t seem to be a correct value, as there were no afternoon or evening thunderstorms on the radar images. I then checked to see if there was maybe an earlymorning thunderstorm, and there it was. Around 6 a.m. a line

of heavy thunderstorms moved through the southwest corner of Manitoba, directly over the Reston area. These storms looked very intense on the radar so I would say that the 79.3 mm at Reston is more than likely legitimate.

So, it was a near-average summer, temperature-wise, and overall, with only a few exceptions, it was a drier-than-average summer.

Looking back at the forecasts it would appear no one was able to correctly predict the near-average temperatures, and I was the only one to say near- to below-average amounts of rain. That would mean I get the nod for having the most accurate forecast, but if you check back you might see that my forecast was really just a lucky guess, and even then it was only half right.

CROPS Regulations force hemp producers to destroy valuable nutraceuticals Health Canada will consult with hemp industry in lead-up to cannabis legalization

BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff/Dauphin

R

od Fisher is an old hand at what is still a relatively new Canadian crop — hemp.

When production was legalized in 1998, Fisher and his two brothers obtained a Health Canada licence and dipped their toes into the water with a few dozen acres.

Today, they plant between 1,500 and 1,600 acres each year.

“We were working with Canterra seeds when hemp first came in... it was a distributor and it just kind of grew from there,” Fisher said. “We tried a field audit and it worked well.”

Good fit Part of the crop’s appeal is that it can be seeded late in the season after wet fields dry out, Fisher said, adding he’s harvested mature plants after seeding as late as July 6 or 7.

“It’s a unique crop,” said Fisher.

“And on our farm it’s been one of the better-paying crops.”

But while hemp can be grown for seed and fibre in Canada, producers are still shut out of the potentially lucrative nutraceutical market.

“It’s a lost opportunity,” Fisher said.

Keith Watson, an agronomist and plant breeder with Parkland Industrial Hemp Growers Co-op, agrees with that assessment.

W h i l e m a n y Ca n a d i a n s h e rald cannabis legalization as the way to increase the availability of CBD or cannabidiol, which is prized as a potential anxiety medication and anti-convulsive, Watson notes hemp also produces the medically significant cannabinoid.

“We’re into hemp and we’ve always consciously made a distinction between hemp and marijuana and kept it separate, so we don’t want to cloud it with that issue,” Watson said. “But we have devel-

oped (hemp) varieties which are higher in CBD.” While only a small portion of the hemp plant — the brac surrounding the seeds — contains cannabidiol, the agronomist argues it could go a long ways towards supplying a medical market.

“Agriculturally we could supply them and it would be a huge opportunity, but the regulations are holding us back,” said Watson.

“Even if you were only getting five per cent of it, you’d still be getting a lot of it to supply that medical market.”

Whole plant Organizations like the Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance are pushing Health Canada to move towards allowing the entire hemp plant to be used and away from regulations

created in an era when cannabis was seen as a dangerous and forbidden narcotic.

President Russ Crawford said the organization has met with Bill Blair — the police chief turned politician who led the government’s task force on cannabis legalization — and hopes their concerns have reached the right people.

“The prime minister has said that the goal is to make marijuana legal by July 1, 2018. Our request of that process is to exclude industrial hemp from those regulations and to acknowledge that it is different and it should not be treated in the same fashion,” Crawford said. “And the reason we’re asking that is because we

“Industrial hemp regulations were developed as an enabling legislation to allow for the production of hemp. So it’s our friend, it’s not our enemy, but it’s also becoming limiting in terms of what you can and can’t do.”

Hemp doesn’t produce the psychotropic cannabinoid THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, but it is still regulated by the Controlled Substances Act. “So it’s considered to be a narcotic and it’s treated in the same fashion as heroin and cocaine. It was simply done that way because there was not really the ability to distinguish industrial hemp from marijuana when this act first came into place,” Crawford explained. “Industrial hemp regulations were developed as an enabling legislation to allow for the production of hemp. So it’s our friend, it’s not our enemy, but it’s also becoming limiting in terms of what you can and can’t do.”

Valuable market According to a report completed by The Hemp Business Journal, the market for CBD and CBD-containing produ c t s c o u l d re a c h a s a l e s value of $2.1 billion by 2020

in the United States alone, about a quarter of which is expected to come from hemp.

Canadian imports could be a big part of U.S. sales if the regulatory environment was more conducive to exports, said Crawford.

Proponents of CBD tout it as a cure for everything from diabetes and acne, to fibromyalgia, schizophrenia and mad cow disease, but research into the isolate is in its infancy, with most scientific inquiries focused on its effect on seizures.

But health claims can be made with cannabis products and Health Canada has already approved products c o n t a i n i n g c a n n a b i n o i d s.

These products are classified as “therapeutic” under the Food and Drugs Act and are reviewed for safety, quality and efficacy, said a Health Canada spokesperson.

“Health Canada is aware that the hemp sector has proposed regulatory reforms that would permit hemp producers to use the whole hemp plant, including the leaves and flowers that producers are currently required to destroy under the exist-

ing framework,” the spokesperson continued. “Health Canada will be considering these and other stakeholder views as it prepares new regulations under the proposed Cannabis Act.” Some interim changes to the oversight of industrial h e m p h a v e a l re a d y b e e n made. In 2016 an exemption was issued under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to better align industrial hemp regulations with its “demonstrated low public health and safety risk.”

One example of this was the elimination of THC testing for most crops and the extended validity of licences, allowing the sale and purchasing of products grown in the previous year.

Farmer benefit Crawford believes that if Canada moves forward prudently, hemp could open the door to countless products and opportunities, positioning Canadian producers at the forefront of a growth sector.

“There’s a financial benefit to farmers and there’s the financial potential of a valueadded industry being devel-

oped in Canada,” he said. “It’s challenging to grow, but we’re developing varieties that are easier to harvest and more suited to their agricultural applications.”

But with so many hurdles still ahead, Watson said hemp needs help to break into the mainstream and out of its regulatory confines. “It needs all the lobbying it can get, people need to know about the benefits and why we can’t just harvest those parts of the plant,” the plant breeder said.

Dauphin-area hemp producers plan to introduce a resolution to lobby the federal government at the next Keystone Agricultural Producers meeting and the organization’s president Dan Mazier confirms the matter “is on their radar.”

But regardless of regulatory hurdles hemp production in the province continues to be on the upswing.

“There was a bit of a setback in 2016... acres were down a little, but it is a growing crop,” Fisher said. “Like any other new crop it’s got hiccups, ups and downs, but it is growing.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

lubroot has made its presence known in the far northwest of Saskatchewan’s canola-growing region, with the discovery of a “heavily infested” field.

SaskCanola on Aug. 28 re p o r t e d t h e d i s c ov e r y o f the disease in a field in Crop District 9B, but didn’t give its specific location. District 9B is a group of 16 rural municipalities east of Lloydminster, west of Meadow Lake and n o r t h a n d w e s t o f No r t h Battleford.

“We’ve been advised that one new field in the northwest region of the province is heavily infested with clubroot,” SaskCanola executive director Janice Tranberg said in a release.

The repor t follows news the previous week that clubroot has made its way further northwest up into Alberta’s Pe a c e r e g i o n — f i n d i n g s which the Canola Council of Canada said Aug. 28 “should encourage all canola growers in Western Canada to scout fields for the disease.”

In clubroot-infected canola, swellings or galls appear on roots, cutting off a plant’s water and nutrient supplies so it prematurely ripens and dies. Typical yield losses run around 50 per cent but can run up to nearly 100 per cent in fields under severe clubroot pressure.

The soil-borne fungal disease is established in Canada mainly in vegetable-growing regions of Quebec, Ontario, Atlantic Canada and British Columbia. Its first appearance in Canadian canola was in Quebec in 1997, but it took until 2003 to appear on the c a n o l a - r i c h Pra i r i e s, n e a r Edmonton.

Cases have since been confir med in hundreds of canola fields elsewhere in Alberta, mainly in central regions and particularly around Edmonton, but also as far south as Medicine Hat. The pathogen has also been seen in a handful of fields in Manitoba, Ontario and northcentral and west-central Sask­­atchewan.

Be f o re o r d u r i n g s w a t h ing is the best time to scout for club­r oot, the council said Aug. 28, because diseased patches will be most obvious and club­root galls, if present, will be at their largest.

“Dig up plants in all areas that show premature ripening and check a few random plants at each field entrance looking for galls on the roots,” said Curtis Rempel, the council’s vice-president for crop production and innovation.

Severely infected roots will lead to stunted growth and premature yellowing on the plant above ground, but spore-producing galls “can be present even without obvious above-ground symptoms,” he said.

Time to plant winter wheat

On average winter wheat still has a yield advantage over spring wheats, but there are other factors to consider “If you wait for a rain all you are doing is delaying the time for the plant to emerge if we do get a rain.”

barley stubble are other options.

• Seeding date is important.

“The quicker you get it in the ground in the fall, the

quicker you’ll harvest it in the following year.”

• Seed heavy. Aim for 30 to 35 plants per square foot. A thicker stand will be more

weed competitive, reducing the need for a grassy weed herbicide. It will also result in more even crop maturity and less tillers, making it

easier when timing a fungi­ cide application.

• Seed shallow to take advan­ tage of fall rains.

• A p p l y a s e e d t r e a t ­ ment because sometimes winter wheat sits in the ground a long time before ger­min­ating.

• Treat winter wheat like a special crop. “You have to throw the fertilizer at it to get the high yields.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

A STEP UP N

he first two weeks of September is the best time for seeding winter wheat and with many canola crops already harvested there are fields suited for seed­ ing now, says Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture’s farm production adviser in Souris.

But interest in winter wheat is declining, with some farm­ ers saying they can get almost t h e s a m e y i e l d s g r ow i n g spring wheats in the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) and Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR) classes. It’s true.

Last year some spring wheats yielded as much as winter wheat and many are yielding even better this year.

“In individual cases it (win­ ter wheat) may not yield as good as your hard red wheat, but... it’s still one of the crops that is yielding better, on average, throughout the prov­ ince,” Kaskiw said during the CropTalk Westman webinar Sept. 6.

Crop insurance data reported in Yield Manitoba 2017 shows in 2016 Canada Western Red Spring (classi­ fied as hard red spring by the Manitoba Agricultural Ser­ vices Corporation), Canada Northern Hard Red (classi­ fied as feed wheat) and winter wheat averaged 52, 65 and 72 bushels an acre, respectively, province-wide.

The 10-year average yield for those classes is 47, 64 and 65 bushels an acre, respectively.

There are other reasons, in addition to yield, for consid­ ering winter wheat, includ­ ing spreading out the spring seeding and fall harvest work­ load, Kaskiw said.

Winter wheat, especially when seeded early, will be har vested before springseeded crops when the days are longer and harvest con­ ditions are usually better, Kaskiw said.

Winter wheat will take advantage of moisture sooner than spring-planted crops.

“If you’ve got fields that have been issues before (due to excess moisture) it might be something for you to still get a crop off some of those acres (planted before they get too wet),” he said.

Winter wheat is another tool for managing herbicideresistant weeds, including wild oats.

“It does give you a break in a use of wild oat herbicide for the one year because usually winter wheat gets going early enough in the spring that it chokes out any wild oats that are growing,” Kaskiw said.

Here are Kaskiw’s tips for seeding winter wheat: • Don’t wait for a rain, even if the soil is dry. It doesn’t take a lot of moisture to germi­ nate shallowly sown winter wheat. “If you wait for a rain all you are doing is delay­ ing the time for the plant to emerge if we do get a rain.”

• Plant into canola stubble, which is best for trapping snow to insulate the win­ ter wheat crop and reduce winterkill. Chemfallow and

Five Manitoba commodity groups still seeking farmer input on proposed merger A discussion paper is expected to be ready for the CropConnect conference in February

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

Five crop commodity groups exploring merging want farmers to give their input, says Pam de Rocquigny, general manager of the Manitoba Corn Growers and Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers associations. PHOTO: ALLAN DAWSON

armer input on the prop o s e d m e rg e r o f f i v e of Manitoba’s checkoff-­ funded crop commodity groups is still being sought and encouraged.

A dedicated email — rob@ mbcrops.ca — has been set up for that purpose.

In the spring the Manitoba Corn Growers Association (MCGA), Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers Association (MPSG), Manitoba Flax Growers Association (MFGA), National Sunflower Association of Canada (NSAC) and the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association (MWBGA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to work towards merging. The goal

is giving farmers a bigger bang for their checkoff bucks.

All but the flax growers already share an office in Carman.

Rob Hannam of Synthesis AgriFood Network has been hired to help co-ordinate the effort.

After merger steering committee meetings Aug. 1 and Aug. 22 all agreed it’s important to hear from as many farmers as possible, Hannam said in a news release Aug. 30.

“There was that realization that this is going to take time,” Pam de Rocquigny, general manager of the corn and wheat and barley associations said in an interview.

“It’s a process and we definitely want member input and consultation and that’s why there’s a big focus on members’ ability to provide feedback. There is no timeline per se in terms of a decision (on merging) because we don’t

know what that end position is at this point.”

Although farmers are busy harvesting now, they can still provide input this winter, she added.

The groups hope Hannam completes a report by December, said de Rocquigny. She also expects farmers will have a chance to comment on it, perhaps during CropConnect in February — an annual conference organized by the five groups, plus the Manitoba Canola Growers and Manitoba Seed Growers associations. (The canola and winter cereals associations were part of earlier merger discussions, but for now want to continue on their own.)

“It’s working towards a package of what things could potentially look like, and within that package there could be potentially one, two, three options...”

DO YOU RECYCLE DO YOU RECYCLE YOUR PESTICIDE YOUR PESTICIDE CONTAINERS?

CONTAINERS?

One in three Canadian farmers don’t return their pesticide containers for recycling.

Are you one of them?

See how to rinse and recycle your pesticide containers the right way at cleanfarms.ca

de Rocquigny said. “Part of this whole thing is figuring out what is the question.

“There are more questions being raised as we continue to work through it.”

However, the groups agree their focus is, and remains, research, agronomy and market development, she added.

“We don’t see any change in that going forward.”

In addition to farmers emailing their views on merging, they can contact the associations’ directors and staff, de Rocquigny said.

The merger talks, which had their genesis with discussions on increased collaboration in the spring of 2014, is supported by Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler and the Keystone Agricultural Producers. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Prairie barley groups continue CMBTC funding The funds will allow continued support for malt barley value chain STAFF

T

he Canadian Malt Barley Technical Centre will continue to get funding from the three Prairie barley groups.

Following the July 31 conclusion of the interim Western Canadian Deduction checkoff, which provided the CMBTC with three cents per tonne of barley delivered to Canadian Grain Commission facilities over the previous five years, the Manitoba Wheat & Barley Growers Association (MWBGA), the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission (SaskBarley) and Alberta Barley have all stepped up to the funding plate.

The three provincial barley associations have taken over the collection and administration of the checkoff for their respective provinces and committed to continue supporting the CMBTC. “The MWBGA is pleased to partner with SaskBarley and Alberta Barley to provide core funding to the CMBTC,” said Fred Greig, MWBGA board chair. “The CMBTC is a leader in providing market support, technical services and training to the malting barley value chain and its customers, with the goal of improving net returns for Manitoba and Canadian barley farmers.”

Canada is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of malting barley and malt, with combined domestic and international sales revenues of $1 billion annually.

“Continued funding from farmers will support the CMBTC’s operations, including our work to introduce promising new varieties to our domestic and international customers,” said Peter Watts, managing director of the CMBTC. “With improved yield and disease resistance, and equal or better quality than existing varieties, the new lines will create value for farmers and help make malting barley an attractive crop to grow.”

Diesel prices could rise further

Great Harvest

Hurricane Harvey kicked off the party but harvest demand is keeping it going

BY DAVE SIMS CNSC

D

iesel prices in Western Canada have risen by approximately six to seven cents a litre since Hur­ri­ cane Harvey ravaged the petro­ leum-rich Texas Coast.

An expert with the fuel indus­ try says harvest pressure will likely keep the diesel market from correcting downward, and push prices up a bit more.

“So it (the market) appears to be levelling off from the Harvey hit but harvest is a factor on (future) price hikes,” said Dan McTeague of Gasbuddy.com.

The impact on gasoline has been more pronounced than die­ sel but the two are linked none­ theless. McTeague says for every cent diesel went up, gasoline went up two cents.

“A week or two from now it could be more,” he said, in refer­ ence to the ongoing harvest.

Prices for diesel in Western Canada mostly ranged from 95 to 99 cents a litre, according to Gasbuddy.com.

Diesel traditionally goes up in the fall meaning some of the bump will likely be factored in to the market.

The approach of another storm has also sparked concerns it could impact the energy sec­ tor. Hurricane Irma, featuring sustained winds of 185 miles per hour has already been labelled as the strongest hurricane ever.

“This is going to be a far more active season for hurricanes, the third most since 1950,” said McTeague.

According to another ana­ lyst, the impact from Harvey will continue to be felt for some time.

“You are looking at some upward pressure on prices,” said Tom Kloza of the Oil Price Information Service in Florida.

“Prices are as high as they’ve been in 2017 for diesel.”

He adds one thing that will help cushion the blow at the pumps for diesel operators, is the looming startup of a major refin­ ery in Alberta.

North West Upgrading is expected to begin processing 50,000 barrels of low-sulphur diesel fuel a day by late 2017.

“So we’ll see plenty of new supply coming on stream,” said Kloza.

He adds a deal by the Organi­ zation of the Petroleum Expor­ ting Countries (OPEC) is also due to expire on March 31. The agree­ ment saw major oil-producing countries slashing oil production in a bid to improve prices.

Trio of groups want to create Alberta-based agri-food ‘supercluster’ Agrium, Olds College, and MDA apply for federal program aimed at boosting key economic sectors Staff

A

grium, Olds College, and global satellite communications corporation MDA have submitted an application to the federal government to form an agri-food ‘supercluster.’

The Liberal government committed up to $950 million (over five years) in its March budget to create hubs that would focus on key economic sectors in an effort to kick-start investment, boost exports, and create jobs.

The proposed Smart AgriFo o d Su p e r C l u s t e r “ i s intended to create a panCanadian platform to help the sector’s diverse, and sometimes disparate, “silos” align more coherently to identify and resolve challenges in the

agri-food value chain,” its three proponents said in a news release.

“We felt it important to create something that constructively brings together all the players that comprise the ways we do farming and food,” said Bill Whitelaw, chair of the group’s steering committee.

“Our approach is intended to resolve some of the fragmentation dynamics that often hinder innovation efforts.”

The group’s goals include promoting innovation in cropping, livestock, digital and agri-food processing technologies, the news release stated. If successful in obtaining federal seed money, the cluster would seek to involve businesses, notfor-profits, research organizations, and post-secondary institutions in projects that create new jobs, export oppor-

tunities, and safer and more sustainable food production.

“Ottawa would like to see innovation as the driving force that significantly improves Canada’s already strong ag and food leadership position globally,” said Whitelaw, a senior executive with Glacier Media Group (the parent company of the Manitoba Co-operator).

“Moving the country upward in global export rankings could create billions of new economic impact.”

If its proposal is funded, the Smart Agri-Food Super Cluster would be administered from Calgary but would seek out partners from across the country, he said.

The supercluster concept has been successfully applied in California’s Silicon Valley, Canada’s Kitchener-Waterloo region, and cities such as

Berlin and Tel Aviv, the federal government said in announcing the program.

The creation of superclusters will depend on what proposals are submitted, Innovation, Science and Economic Devel­ op­­ment Minister Navdeep Bains told the Toronto Star earlier this year. But he identified agri-food — along with areas such as advanced manufacturing, digital technology, and health/biosciences — as sectors where Canada is well positioned to become a stronger global player.

Calgar y-based Agr ium is in the process of merging with Potash Corp. to form a new company to be called Nutrien. MDA (formerly known a s Ma c D o n a l d , De t t w i l e r and Associates) is based in Vancouver and has annual revenues of more than $2 billion.

With great protection comes great yield.

Canola hybrids with Pioneer Protector® traits give Western Canadian growers higher yields, a sense of pride in their crop, and peace of mind knowing that they’re protected from key diseases and the risk of pod shatter.

he Canadian gover nment says it’s prepared to restore rail service to residents in Churchill.

The rail line was closed in the spring of 2017 after flooding damaged multiple sections of the route to the northern Manitoba community.

T h e ow n e r o f t h e l i n e, OmniTrax, said repairs would cost as much as US$60 million and it wasn’t prepared to pay without government assistance.

Residents of Churchill maintain the line is a public utility and has to be repaired before winter arrives. Some residents even travelled to Winnipeg to hold protests over the issue.

Previously, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the Denverbased company had legal obligations to restore service to the community.

However, in a release today, the government said it is prepared to “facilitate discussion for the transfer of the rail line to a new owner and will work with that new owner to restore rail service.”

At least two different groups comprised of northern Manitoba First Nations have expressed interest in taking over the line.

Recently, the government of Manitoba said it would be willing to pay as much as C$500 million over 10 years to fix and maintain service. It wasn’t initially clear however, how much of that money would be entirely new.

In the release, Ottawa said it’s fully prepared to act quickly to provide such support, provided that: • The assets are transferred at a reasonable price taking into account OmniTrax Inc.’s obligations; • The new owner has support from First Nations and other communities along the route; and • The new owner has a viable business plan to operate the rail line safely, reliably and cost effectively.

OmniTrax bought the gove r n m e n t - ow n e d p o r t a n d Canadian National Railway’s (CN) rail line in 1997. The port and rail line, built in the 1930s, were meant to serve northern communities and provide an alternate shipping route in to and out of Western and Central Canada.

Canada’s only Arctic port moved 184,600 tonnes of grain during its 2015 shipping season, well off its average of 500,000 tonnes.

Degraded soils cost farmers billions annually Yet soil care remains a low priority for policy-makers as well as farmers “We have reduced soil loss but we haven’t reduced the history of soil loss.”

BY LAURA RANCE Editorial director/Guelph, Ont.

F

armers have reduced the amount of soil they lose through annual cropping practices, but they continue to carry a costly legacy of degraded soils, a University of Manitoba soil scientist says.

David Lobb used crop production data and computer models to estimate how much lost productivity has occurred over the past four decades due to soil erosion.

The numbers he came up with were startling.

“When we did the analysis, looking at the accumulated soil loss and its impact on yield accounting for changes in tillage systems, cropping changes that have occurred across the country the actual loss in production, the actual loss in associated economic value is about $3.1 billion on an annual basis,” Lobb said in an interview following his presentation to the Soil Conservation Council of Canada soil summit here.

“I f y o u l o o k e d a t w h a t cumulatively would have occurred from the 1970s to now you are probably looking at between $40 billion and $60 billion lost in terms of economic potential for the ag industry,” he said. Increased applications of fertilizer and better genetics may help mask some of the effects, but they come at a cost too.

The cost is actually much higher because Lobb only looked at the direct effects on crop production.

“We didn’t look at the inefficiencies associated with higher input use like pest i c i d e s a n d f e r t i l i ze r t h a t commonly occurs in highly degraded landscapes, and we didn’t look at any of the offfield effects like sedimentation in ditches and navigable waterways or any ecological services associated with algal blooms or eutrophication of surface waters,” he said.

David Lobb University of Manitoba soil scientist

“The indirect costs associated with off-site impacts and water quality is often assumed to be equal if not larger than the on-site effects,” he noted.

Perceptions Lobb said he wanted to quantify the cost of degraded soils in economic terms to hammer home the message that even though progress has been made on reducing erosion, little has been done to address the damage that has already been done.

“I think there was a perception that if you want to no till and you stopped the soil erosion, the soil would regenerate or restore itself,” he said.

But that doesn’t happen on its own, at least not for a very long time.

Bob McIntosh, a Perth County farmer who has been practising zero tillage for 27 years, said restoring degraded soils is a “lifelong” pro­cess with mediocre results. His experience mimics the results of long-term cropping studies in the area that show gains in soil organic matter, even under careful management, are slow. He said efforts must continue to reduce tillage and incorporate cover crops into farming systems.

Lobb said farmers in some areas are trying to speed up the natural soil-building process by applying high organic matter inputs, such as adding high rates of manure to their eroded knolls, growing forages or cover crops.

The economics also support transporting soil that has been moved by tillage and water erosion into low spots back onto the tops of knolls.

Ad a m Ha y e s, a n e x t e n sion adviser with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), told participants in the summit tour farmers can recover the cost of landscape restoration within four to six years through increased productivity. Restoring eroded knolls in that fashion can result in yield improvements of between 40 and 130 per cent in dry years and two to 33 per cent in wet years.

Lobb said governments and farmers need to realize that every soil loss event has longterm implications for a farm’s productivity, yet soil conservation seems to be falling through the cracks.

“There has been a steady decrease in interest in soil conservation,” he said.

Farmers’ best defence is a good offence, avoiding the loss of soil in the first place, he said.

D o n Re i c o s k y, a re t i re d soil scientist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service, told the conference that in his view, the term “conservation tillage” is an oxymoron.

Conservation tillage is defined as retaining 30 per cent residue cover on the surface. “That means there is 70 per cent bare soil,” he said.

Man-made tillage in any form destroys the soil’s structure and is catastrophic to the microorganisms living within it, he said.

Conservation agriculture True conservation agriculture focuses on building carbon in the soil, not its steady depletion. “CO2 loss is proportional

to the volume of soil disturbed,” Reicosky said.

“The solution lies in conservation agriculture, which brings together innovation, new technology and systems concepts focused on carbon management,” he said.

Don Lobb, a retired Ontario farmer who was inducted into the Canadian Conservation Hall of Fame in 1992 for his support of research to better understand soil health, said part of the problem is the industry’s focus on increasing production. He’s calling for “an agronomic shift in focus” from crop production to soil care.

“This is essential for reliable,

sustainable, environmentally friendly food production,” he said.

He also noted that past civilizations who mismanaged their soil resources simply moved to a new frontier when their soils became unproductive. “We are on a familiar path,” he said, noting that with most of the world’s productive land already in use, and with most of it at various stages of degradation, there may be nowhere to go.

“The only remaining ‘new frontier’ is intensive, scientifically sound, responsible soil management,” he said. laura@fbcpublishing.com

CROP REPORT

Heat hastens harvest and crop progress Manitoba Agriculture crop report, issued September 11, 2017 Southwest Region Normal to above-normal temperatures were experienced last week with no frost reported to date. Most areas of the region did not receive any precipitation; a few locations had trace amounts.

Field work has been limited due to dry topsoil conditions.

Post-harvest herbicide application is on hold until rains stimulate weed growth.

Spring cereal harvest is close to complete south of Highway 1, and 60 to 80 per cent complete north of Highway 1.

Yields are reported to be average to above average with good quality.

Canola harvest is 40 to 50 per cent complete with good quality and yields ranging from 35 to 45 bu./acre. Swathing is approaching completion for late-seeded canola fields, and some pre-har vest applications continue for straight-cut canola.

Field peas harvest is complete with yields above the long-term average.

Flax continues to dry down, and desiccation is beginning.

Soybeans are in R6.5 to 7 with early-maturing varieties approaching R8 or 95 per cent brown seed pod.

Sunflowers are in R7 to earlyR8 stage.

Corn silage harvesting has begun with above-average yields. Grain corn is at the R5 stage.

Pastures are drying up and producers have started to move cattle to harvested fields.

Second-cut alfalfa has been completed with average yields.

Northwest Region Warm weather this past week with no rainfall allowed for good harvest progress throughout the region. There were no reports of frost this week.

Crops are generally in good to excellent condition with the exception of areas suffering from extremes of moisture

where crops are in fair to poor condition.

Spr ing wheat har vest is mostly finished in the Roblin area, with about 75 per cent complete around Swan River, and 70 to 80 per cent complete in the Dauphin and Ste. Rose areas. Yields are reported to be 75 to 80 bu./acre around Roblin and 60 to 90 bu./acre around Swan River.

Approximately 50 per cent of canola fields have been harvested around Swan River, 75 per cent around Roblin, and 50 to 80 per cent of canola combined in the McCreary, Dauphin, and Ste. Rose areas.

Yields are reported to be 50 bu./acre around Swan River, and 50 to 60 bu./acre around Roblin.

Soybeans and fababeans are approaching maturity with generally all fields still standing. Pea yields range from 60 to 80 bu./acre in the Roblin and Swan River areas. The flax crop is 50 to 75 per cent ripe with the remainder in the boll stage.

Combining of winter wheat and fall rye is complete.

Tame haying season is complete with the exception of second-cut alfalfa that will be cut after a killing frost. There are reports of light frosts around Rorketon showing effects on alfalfa fields. Native hay harvest is wrapping up with lots of bulk as producers are haying areas that were unreachable in previous years. Native hay harvest has been earlier, but quality may still be questionable due to increased unpalatable species.

Central Region Last week had sunny, warm, and windy conditions with minimal amounts of rain. No frost reported. Soil moisture conditions continue to deteriorate in annual cropland, hay, and pasture.

Spring cereal harvest is 85 to 100 per cent complete. Early yield reports: hard red spring wheat 55 to 100 bu./acre;

Higher Canadian dollar a new reality for rest of 2017 The roaring loonie is resulting in lower domestic prices for Canadian farmers

BY TERRY FRIES

“We’ve grown a crop, say on a 75-cent dollar and now we’re taking off a crop on an 82-cent dollar, and that’s a totally different scenario.”

CNSC

H

igher interest rates and a stronger Canadian dollar relative to the American currency is giving Canadian farmers a double whammy.

According to Farm Credit Canada’s chief agricultural economist it is a situation farmers will likely have to deal with for at least the remainder of the year.

J . P. G e r va i s, F CC ’s c h i e f agri­culture economist, said he thinks farmers and agribusinesses will be able to manage the higher interest rates, but the higher dollar may prove more problematic.

He said during the past two to three years, Canadian farmers have been shielded from a slowdown similar to what’s been happening in the U.S. farm sector largely because the favourable exchange

Dan Mazier Keystone Agricultural Producers

rate mad e s e l l i n g e x p o r t s based in U.S. dollars more profitable.

“Because I know given current pricing in the marketplace — and that’s across all sectors: grains, oilseeds, livestock — that a dollar at 85 cents is really a threshold or a point we’re starting to see margins getting a little bit of pressure,” he said.

The Canadian dollar was trading at 82.37 U.S. cents at noon today. Back on April 3 it was at 74.72 U.S. cents.

G e r va i s s a i d f o r t h e t i m e being, the dollar’s main influencing factor is no longer oil,

but rather the spread between American and Canadian interest rates.

“I think if you are looking at the spread between Canadian rates and the U.S. rates, I think for some terms we actually have higher rates in Canada than in the U.S. I think that’s consistent with a dollar around 82, maybe slightly higher than that.”

He said as long as the U.S. Fe d e ra l Re s e r v e h o l d s i t s present course and doesn’t raise its interest rates, the loonie’s strength relative to the American greenback will continue. He expects it to last at T:10.25”

least until the end of the year, he said.

The Bank of Canada yest e rd a y r a i s e d t h e b e n c h mark overnight lending rate to 1.0 per cent from 0.75 per cent. Gervais said he expects Canada’s central bank will not apply any further rate increases until it has time to assess the effects of the latest hike.

He added there may be some upside to the rising dollar in that input or equipment purchases priced in American dollars will be more affordable for Canadian producers, but on the balance a lower Canadian dollar is more important to the long-term health of the agricultural industry.

He added he doesn’t believe the higher interest rates will have a serious effect on farmers’ debt servicing because that depends more on income than on assets.

However, if the dollar goes up again, further cutting

far mers’ margins, it could affect farmers’ ability to meet t h e i r d e b t o b l i g a t i o n s, h e said.

D o n M a z i e r, p r e s i d e n t of Keystone Agricultural Producers, said the dollar isn’t exceptionally high yet, but it still will have an impact, especially because farmers entered the growing season with a much lower dollar in play.

“We’ve grown a crop, say on a 75-cent dollar and now we’re taking off a crop on an 82-cent dollar, and that’s a totally different scenario.”

He said many of the crop decisions would have been based on a lower dollar and h i g h e r- v a l u e e x p o r t s t h a t go along with that. Many of those plans will have to be reworked.

He added producers can take some actions to minimize the damage, such as locking in basis levels or hedging dollars.

Making sense of the squiggly lines Technical analysis can help give you a clearer picture of commodity markets David Derwin

Chart 1 & 2

Feeder cattle & canola markets

Hedging your bets

A

picture is indeed worth a thousand words so when it comes to markets, there is no better picture than a price chart. Charts are a visual interpretation of market behaviour that encompass all news, research and analysis of economic business activity by all investors, trader and hedgers. It is an illustration of the cumulative fear and greed of the marketplace.

Unfortunately, many market psychology and behavioural economic studies have shown that humans often see things in pictures that don’t exist. This can lead to less-than-optimal decision-making. There are many “price patterns” that catch the eye as well as the imagination which don’t have a strong or consistent enough history to have any predictive value. There are, however, many valid price patterns and trends in financial markets that persist over time that are worthwhile taking a closer look at.

The mind can play tricks on you and people can fool themselves into believing their point of view. So, hedgers and traders should crunch some numbers and perform data analysis to develop some objective technical chart analysis.

Thomas Bulkowski’s book Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns does a great job of helping in

Chart 3 & 4

this area. His research offers a thorough and serious analysis using a database of 500 stocks over a five-year period that generated over 15,000 chart formations to uncover around 50 chart patterns. As he writes in the introduction to his book, “It suggests which chart patterns work best and which ones to avoid.”

It covers many technical chart patterns you have heard of like head and shoulders, dead-cat bounce and doubletops, showing which patterns tend to be reversal or consolidation patterns, which typically have the biggest moves and those with the highest success rate.

Many of the top chart performers are trending patterns; meaning there is momentum moving prices either up, down or sideways steadily over time like in Chart 1 and 2.

Once this momentum changes, that up, down or sideways trend may change as well.

“This doesn’t mean you are going to be right every time, but at least you can strive to be more right over time.”

Another important pattern to look for is a consolidation pattern with a lot of sideways choppy price action. These are some of the most consistent patterns. Whether it’s signalling a beginning, continuation or end of a trend, markets often move sideways ahead of another important price move.

Many of the chart patterns you may find useful are ones that look like Chart 3 and 4 — almost like the calm before the storm.

What I like about Bulkow­ski’s research is that it provides a high-probability approach to

technical chart analysis that is supported by some hard numbers. This allows you to apply both the art and science of technical analysis along with other market research tools to real-time hedging and trading decisions. This doesn’t mean you are going to be right every time, but at least you can strive to be more right over time.

Now, here are a couple of current real-time commodities to look at.

First, after a 30 per cent move higher from about 115 to 145 during the winter and spring, feeder cattle has since been moving sideways for the past three months. Whether this breaks out higher to continue the uptrend or breaks down through price support to signal a reversal in trend remains to be seen. However, given this trading range is already a few months old, any sustained break below 135 on the charts and the odds are that this recent cattle uptrend may be turning lower. Regardless of whether cattle ultimately moves higher or lower, prices are good. If you haven’t protected your cattle revenues, now is a good time to use live or feeder cattle option strategies for downside floor price protection but that still give you some upside potential as well.

Next, canola has also been showing a wide trading range but over a much longer period of time. The weekly canola chart shows a channel between C$450/tonne and $530/tonne over the past few years going back to 2015. With such a

defined range, we have a good sense of where near-term tops and bottoms are and can plan hedging strategies accordingly.

Canola may still go sideways yet and there is some upside potential. All the more reason to use canola option strategies to protect your downside without locking in, without limiting your upside and without committing to delivery.

Bottom line, charts don’t always reveal the future but a numbers-based analysis, along with options and futures hedging strategies, can help you benefit from pricing opportunities for your farm com­modities.

Keep your chart and technical analysis simple. Markets can only go up, down or sideways so look for trends, a break­out from an existing sideways range or a change in price direction.

Don’t overcomplicate things and don’t worry about every daily 25-cent move. You’ll drive yourself crazy and likely spend a lot of time for very little reward Instead, focus on bigger-picture medium- to longer-term trends. Incorporate proper hedging strategies that are right for the current market conditions to help you meet your operational as well as financial budgets and targets.

This approach should help make all those squiggly lines a more meaningful part of your overall marketing plan.

New bee study points finger at neonicotinoid Thiamethoxam can prevent egg laying and hive formation CNS Canada

A

commonly used neonicotinoid pesticide is being blamed in a new report for increasing bumblebees’ risk of extinction.

Ontario researcher Nigel Raine, at the University of Guelph, said thiamethoxam can reduce the chances of bumblebee queens starting new colonies by about 25 per cent.

The results of the study were published in Nature Ecology & Evolution.

Raine said bumblebee queens exposed to the pesticide were 26 per cent less likely to lay eggs to start new colonies.

Researchers then applied a mathematical model and found that this rate of decline could threaten extinction of wild bumblebees.

Bee populations have been falling worldwide, with parasites, climate change and pesticides regarded as leading causes.

Bees are key pollinators for more agricultural crops, and bumblebees are known especially for pollinating fruits and vegetables. Most of the research into bees until now has focused on honeybees.

Raine and his colleagues exposed more than 300 queen bees to stressors commonly found in the environment, including parasites. Half of the bees that emerged from hibernation were fed syrup with pesticides at levels similar to what the bees might find in the environment. The queens given the pesticide were far less likely to lay eggs than the half that had the parasites only.

Bumblebee queens carry out the work of setting up their colonies alone, unlike honeybee queens that receive help from drones.

Thiamethoxam is used as a seed treatment for soybeans and corn and other crops.

Dodds family marks centennial of unique barn, history of farm It’s been 100 years since Arthur Drummond built a banked barn on his yard site northwest of Brandon.

Now, the latest generation of the family, Cameron and Bea Dodds, are marking its centennial

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

H

istory is far from buried on the Dodds farm near Kenton, Man. In fact, it’s a point of pride for current owners, Cameron and Bea Dodds.

Their 117-year-old brick farmhouse sits nestled in between old-growth trees and longestablished gardens, providing a backdrop for the memorial cairn beside the lane, added to commemorate the farm’s over-135year history.

This year, however, it is the barn’s turn to shine.

Built in 1917 by Ar thur Drummond, Cameron Dodds’ great-uncle, and set into the hill overlooking open pasture to the south, the red barn is easily the farm’s most eye-catching feature from a distance.

Outside of the classic style and colour, the building’s exterior betrays few hints at its real age. Bright paint and new windows show the signs of recent maintenance, while the original roof has been covered with metal to preserve it.

Inside, however, the barn is peppered by the remnants of history.

The structure of the building has been largely untouched.

Some doors have been widened to fit modern equipment, Dodds said, while the barn now sports a “cow cam,” used to monitor animals during calving.

“We’ve taken out some of the stanchions to make it easier to put in gates for moving cattle about because the way it was set up before, to get from one side of the barn to the other was only one access, so you had to sort of go outside with the livestock to go around,” Bea Dodds said.

In the bottom level, taken up largely by livestock pens, a stringer of metal runs along the ceiling, once used to hang lanterns before hydro was installed in 1947. In the top level, still used to store hay, the open space is broken by a ventilation system encased in wooden pillars, used to whisk out heat and moisture, while an insulated room in the corner was once a source of winter water, pumped from a nearby reservoir to a wooden holding tank.

“It had a sort of mechanical manure-handling system in the barn on a rail system and in the loft too, it had the forks — grapple forks — to move the hay from the wagons into the loft,” Cameron Dodds said, pointing out some of the structure’s quirks, many of which would have been state of the art at the time of construction.

Wooden pens and lantern-hanging wire stand as a testament to 100 years of history at the Dodds barn south of Kenton, Man.

Changing with the times Now mainly used for hay storage and winter calving, as well as a home for the healthy farm cat population, the barn was once the hub of the farm’s small dairy herd, a legacy still reflected in the milking stalls standing in the barn’s lower levels.

“We still kept dairy cattle for quite a while — and then it went more into the beef cattle and before that there was an era where we used to use it for hogs, you know, finishing hogs,” Dodds said. “I guess at times there was, maybe, some small area for chickens at one time.

It’s seen a big variety of livestock over the years.”

“Actually, there is an old henhouse there which we’ve transformed now into a pump room, but through the ’50s and ’60s, they kept a large flock of laying hens and sold eggs for both hatching and for commercial use,” his wife, Bea, added.

“They’d take the eggs to the train, even, when the train came to Harding and take the eggs to Brandon that way or, later, it was delivered mostly by themselves to Brandon,” she said. “Cream was the same thing.”

Most farms milked at least a few cows at that time, Cameron

Dodds said, although most were crossbred rather than true dairy breeds.

That cream later became critical to the region’s farms, he added, and his family’s farm was no exception. Trucks, sent out to pick up the fresh cream from farms, eventually replaced rail and became a valuable source of income as well as products like butter.

“What really kept a lot of people going was the cream trucks, especially back in the Dirty ’30s and that kind of thing,” he said.

“I guess you could say (the barn) was built in a time that was quite affluent, getting close to the end of the war and after the war — the First World War — and things were quite good. Then the ’20s were very good economically, and then, of course, the crash of ’29 and all during the ’30s was quite difficult — very little income on farms.”

Deep roots The barn is the latest, but far from the first, structure on the Dodds’ yard to mark a centennial.

The farm dates back to 1881, when Dodds’ great-grandparents, Matthew and Margaret Drummond, settled in what is now the southwest corner of the property with their seven children.

Bea Dodds displays a picture of the farm’s founders, Matthew and Margaret Drummond and their family, taken at the original homestead in the southwest corner of the Dodds property.

In 1898, Matthew Drummond purchased the north half of the section including the current yard site and soon laid the foundations for a new, more elaborate, farmhouse.

By 1900, the multi-storey brick home was complete.

The farm’s founding father died soon after, leaving the business to his son, Arthur.

A generation later, the farm’s surname changed from Drum­ mond to Dodds.

The farm was rented out during the ’20s, when Arthur and Ella Drummond temporarily retired to Winnipeg. In 1930, however, the pair returned.

“Which was probably the worst time to step back into the farm,” Bea Dodds noted, referencing the grim economic times that hit farmers in the 1930s.

That same era of financial challenges brought Dodds’ father and Drummond’s nephew, Les Dodds, to the farm to work.

Drum­­­mond later passed the operation to his nephew, paving the way for Cameron Dodds to take the reins in 1992.

“I’ve been here all my life,” Dodds said. “Even as, maybe, five, six years old, I’d be helping my dad do chores and up in the loft.”

The barn was both workplace and playground for the younger Dodds, who remembers bringing

hay into the loft by hand, grinding grain during cold winter days, playing with kittens and puppies and working with livestock.

“There’s been lots of changes with all of the modernization, all the machinery — just so many changes,” he said, comparing his current farming style to his childhood. “(There is) a lot less hand labour and more machinery, which is all right. It’s a good thing.”

Today, the Dodds farm is a mixed grain and beef operation, spanning about 400 acres of crops, plus pasture and hay land for their 60 head of cattle.

The Dodds recently expanded further into beef, renting land to bolster their pasture acres.

“One thing we’ve tried lately is grazing corn,” Dodds said. “We do that. We like that. And I guess you could say we’re conservative minded in respect to the soil and that. On rolling land here we have runways to protect the soil from erosion from water and then we have a dam on the property to save the water from getting away too fast, using it for our livestock and gardens.

“We’re not big farmers in today’s standards, but it still keeps us busy and with the livestock we have lots to do,” he added. astockford@farmmedia.com

Prairie fare Ovens are for baking, not canning To avoid foodborne illnesses, use research-tested recipes and follow them carefully

BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

I

n the past few weeks, I fielded questions for some of our extension agents while they took well-earned annual leave. I learned a lot about what people do as they harvest their bountiful garden produce.

As the questions reached my office, I also began exploring the internet to see what was being shared by some blogs, Pinterest, Facebook and websites.

Some of the questions and information I found online surprised me. Some frightened me. Some of my callers had found their information on questionable sites.

Always proceed cautiously with food preservation information you find online; it’s not all safe.

Here are some tips to remember: Ovens are for baking food, but not for canning.

Dishwashers are for washing dishes and canning jars, but not sealing canning jars.

Microwave ovens are for heating foods and beverages quickly, but not canning foods.

A friend of mine told me that some people are sealing jars in bathtubs, but I couldn’t find that online. Maybe she was pulling my leg.

Just in case, I’ll add another tip: Bathtubs are for bathing, not sealing canning jars. “Boiling water baths” are a method for canning acidic foods and the method is done on a stovetop, not in your bathroom.

Why would some of this information scare me? Botulism, one of the deadliest types of foodborne illness, is caused by eating improperly canned food, especially home-canned food. Commercial canners are extremely cautious about their canning procedures, but they have occasional safety recalls due to a botulism risk too.

If you have bountiful tomatoes, be sure to add the recommended amount of lemon juice or citric acid before canning because the acidity of tomatoes can vary, depending on where they were grown and the variety.

Don’t invent a salsa recipe and expect it to be safe for canning; freeze your inventions and use research-tested recipes for your canned goods.

Vegetables and meats are low-acid foods, meaning they do not contain enough acid naturally to prevent spores (forms of bacteria) from surviving and growing. Spores can

produce a deadly toxin in an airtight environment, such as a sealed jar, unless the food is acidic or has been heated under pressure for a specified time.

Boiling food will not kill the spores. For safe canning of low-acid foods such as green beans, corn, carrots and most mixtures of foods, a pressure canner must be used. Using a pressure canner allows the mixture to reach a higher temperature than a boiling waterbath canner.

Unfortunately, foods containing the botulism toxin usually do not have an unusual taste or appearance. You cannot tell it is there.

Blurred and double vision are hallmark signs of botulism. Besides vision problems, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing and muscle weakness can occur 18 to 36 hours after eating foods contaminated with the toxin.

Without treatment, the illness can progress from head to feet, weakening muscles and

Always proceed cautiously with food preservation information you find online; it’s not all safe.

potentially paralyzing your respiratory system. Death can occur without prompt treatment.

I probably have scared readers by now.

However, I assure you that safe home canning is entirely possible. You just need to follow carefully the latest instructions from credible sources such as university websites or the National Center for Home Food Preservation.

When you are canning food, such as tomatoes, salsa and green beans, think of yourself as a chemist and physicist. Measure accurately, and follow the directions, processing times and methods exactly.

If someone offers you some home-canned goods, don’t be shy about asking the person how the food was prepared.

4 tsp. each of mustard seed, turmeric, whole allspice and whole cloves 6 c. white vinegar (5 per cent)

Add cucumbers, peppers, onions, salt and ice to water and let stand four hours. Drain and re-cover vegetables with fresh ice water for another hour. Drain again. Combine spices in a spice or cheesecloth bag. Add spices to sugar and vinegar. Heat to boiling and pour mixture over vegetables.

Cover and refrigerate 24 hours. Remove spice bag. Heat mixture to boiling and fill into clean, hot jars, leaving 1/2- inch head space. Process in a boiling water-bath canner 10 minutes at 0 to 1,000 feet altitude, 15 minutes at 1,001 to 5,999 feet or 20 minutes if you live at an altitude greater than 6,000 feet. Let cool, undisturbed, 12 to 24 hours and check for seals. Makes about 9 pints.

Spruce Woods Park equestrian campgrounds Considered one of the best in Manitoba, riding enthusiasts should check it out

By Donna Gamache Freelance contributor

S

pruce Woods Provincial Park is considered one of the best equestrian campgrounds in Manitoba, so if you are a riding enthusiast, this is a place for you. My husband and I recently stopped at the two camp­ grounds provided for riders and their horses. At midweek both were deserted, but park workers said that the main campground was often buzzing with activity on weekends.

Spruce Woods Park is located on No. 5 Highway about 22 km south of Carberry and 17 km north of Glenboro. It has, according to its website, 120 km of equestrian trails, as well as two special campgrounds available for horseback riders.

The main one, called the “Barn Campground,” is located nine km east from Kiche Manitou Campground. It has 10 electrical sites as well as unserviced ones, with firepits, wood and showers all available, as well as many corrals for the horses and standing stalls inside the barn.

The second campsite, called “Canoe Campground No. 2,” is beside the Assiniboine River, and is available for both canoeists and riders, with many pens available for horses. The facilities are more basic with pit privies and a solar shower, but the campsites are large and well shaded. To reach this campsite a different route

is taken. Drive north on “Park Road” (71W) off Highway No. 2, approximately one kilometre east of Cypress River, for about 15 km.

Riders at this campground should be sure to visit the nearby “Hogsback” for a scenic view of the river and surrounding area.

The Hogsback is a razorback ridge rising above the river, with a bowllike depression on the other side.

A one-kilometre hike there is worthwhile.

Fees at both campgrounds are collected on an honour system, and are on a first-come, firstserved basis, except reservations are required for large groups of riders. All fees collected from the equestrian campgrounds go towards the “Friends of Spruce Woods” organization, which recently provided funds for the

construction of new corrals at the Barn Campground.

Horse enthusiasts might also be interested in attending one of the long-distance endurance races that are usually held several times a year in the Spruce Woods by different organizations such as the Distance Riders of Manitoba and the Manitoba Trail Riding Club.

Competitions are usually

timed events of several different lengths over a marked trail, sometimes varying up to 160 km or more. Horse and rider teams are checked by veterinarians at intervals during and after long-distance rides to assure their health and safety, and scoring includes a demerit system for soundness, condition and manners of the horse. Some teams take the

rides to a highly competitive level, while others use it as a recreational/social activity or a way of exploring some new region.

If you’re in the area, remember that some of the same routes are used by vehicles, horses and bicycles, so travel with care. If you’re interested in using the equestrian trails or campgrounds, or would like to attend a competition there, and want more information, contact the Carberry District office at 204-834-8800. For information about Spruce Woods Park call the Interpretive Centre at 204-8278850 or check out the website: https://www.gov.mb.ca/sd/parks/ popular_parks/western/spruce_ info.html.

esearching a favourite perennial ground cover, I discovered that it is a close relative — simply another variety — of another plant in my garden. I was researching lamianstrum, commonly known as nettle vine, and the close relative in my garden is also a lamianstrum, commonly called “Hermann’s Pride.”

The lamianstrums belong to the mint plant family (lameacea) and members of this family are recognized by their square stems. Basil is another well-known member, as are all nettles. There are hundreds of varieties of lamianstrum, including the perennial lamiums that so many of us use to fill in spaces in shady areas of our gardens.

The two lamianstrums that I have are both varieties of lamianstrum galeobdolon. One is lamianstrum galeobdolon “Hermann’s Pride,” and the other is lamianstrum galeobdolon “Variegatum” — I think! It could also be lamianstrum galeobdolon “Florentinum”; the two are almost indistinguishable from one another.

Hermann’s Pride Like most lamianstrums, Hermann’s Pride is versatile when it comes to exposure — it will grow in full shade or full sun. The growth habit will be slightly more floppy in shade and the bloom will not be as prolific. It is an upright-

Nettle vine

growing plant that gets about 45 cm tall.

A clump-forming plant that sends up innumerable stems to form a thick bush, it actually resembles a small shrub when it reaches its mature height. The clumps get wider with age and every three years I dig the clumps up and reduce their size, using the pieces I slice off to establish new plants or to give away.

Hermann’s Pride’s foliage is green splashed with silver, making it an attractive accent plant. It flowers briefly in the spring, its whorls of two-lipped yellow

blooms being produced on short side stalks that grow from its many stems.

In full sun, bloom is prolific and a magnet for bees. About midway through the summer, particularly after a heavy rain or if the clumps are quite mature and fairly wide, the clumps will split in half and tend to topple over somewhat.

This is easily remedied by tying a piece of heavy garden twine around the bottom of the plant about 15 cm from the ground and pulling it tight until the plant is tightly packed and no longer appears “split.” Tie the string and if needed add a stake to keep the plant upright.

This is one of the earliest perennials to get going in the spring, survives early-fall frosts and looks good in the garden until fall cleanup. It has no disease or pest

This plant also has attractive green leaves that are splashed with silver, but the silver is more patterned and not as random as it is on Hermann’s Pride. It is a trailing plant and spreads rapidly over a wide area — making it a great ground cover in shade or sun. It will need consistently moist soil to look good in full sun and it does perform best in shade or part sun. Like Hermann’s Pride, nettle vine is not particular about soil type and experiences few pest problems. It forms a loose mound about 25 cm high and the long trailing stems grow outward from the clump. The stems will root at their leaf axils as they creep along the ground.

It has flowers similar to Hermann’s Pride which appear briefly in early spring.

While nettle vine is used mostly as a ground cover, Hermann’s Pride is used as an accent plant in flower borders or positioned in a row along a path or at the front of a rose bed. Nettle vine also makes a great addition to a mixed container and will soon act as a spiller when its stems begin tumbling over the edge.

Both of these varieties of lamianstrum will add great interest and beauty to the landscape.

Paddling for a cause Drawn together by a common experience team raises awareness of breast cancer and importance of early detection

Roblin country music artist making a name for himself Ryan Keown has reached many of his musical ambitions and he’s still going strong

t was heartbreaking to learn that in the 18 years since the Westman Waves of Hope (WOH) dragon boat team has been in existence, 14 of the members have passed away.

But WOH isn’t about death — it’s about living your life to the fullest and appreciating every single day.

The team draws its members from a 200-mile radius of Brandon and is currently comprised of 33 ladies, all of whom have fought breast cancer and survived.

As a symbol of their vitality they race dragon boats — while at the same time raising awareness, promoting the early detection of breast cancer and inviting those similarly afflicted to climb aboard the aptly named “Kindred Spirit.” The name of the boat refers to people who have been drawn together by a common experience — a diagnosis of breast cancer and the resultant medical treatment.

Kindred Spirit is deeper than a good-size canoe and holds 22 lifejacketed people — 20 paddlers, a steersperson and a drummer.

The steerer calls out commands, which are repeated by the drummer, who keeps a steady beat, and team coach and motivator is Evelyn Clegg from Onanole.

OK, dragon boating is fun, “but, the price of admission is pretty dear,” said Diane Harrington of Basswood, who has been a WOH member for 16 years. “All of us here have coped with and survived breast cancer.”

R

Betty Stewart, the team’s most “seasoned” member at 78 years old, said that if requested by the grieving family, fellow dragon boat team members will honour a lost teammate with a “paddles up” honour guard and the ceremonial placing of a special bouquet.

Along with Stewart, Edna Verhelst, and Joyce Johnson, all from Brandon, and Marg Rycroft from Onanole, have been with the team for all 19 summers since the club’s inception.

What motivates these longtime members and others to continue?

“Being part of the team inspires me to keep fit,” said Bev Roman of Erickson.

“You need to be fit and flexible in order to do this,” agreed Verhelst.

“I just love being on the water,” said Dianne Michaluk, who has been a member for seven years.

The name of the boat refers to people who have been drawn together by a common experience — a diagnosis of breast cancer and the resultant medical treatment.

The team shares comradery, friendship, sisterhood — that feeling of family — supporting each other physically, emotionally and spiritually.

yan Keown has energized audiences over the years, retracing roots back to the age of 14, when he joined a band of older guys in the Roblin area and began to hit the road.

“I enjoy covering classic country songs early in the night, playing the current radio hits then finishing the night with a few surprise cover songs from artists that you would not expect us to do, said Keown. “It makes for a lot of fun and a lot of dancing!”

Keown said he actually started playing guitar when he was 12, absolutely falling in love with it. Memories of those bar moments, had this young guitar player standing in the corner, playing through kitchen doors, as “I wasn’t old enough to set foot inside a licensed establishment.”

Today this rural country artist, who has had incredible support from various clubs and organizations primarily in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, has reached many of his musical ambitions.

The family man earned the 2015 Single of the Year at the Manitoba Country Music Association (MCMA) awards show, and was named the 2016 Male Artist of the Year and 2016 Fan’s Choice. For Keown, who is also an insurance broker and real estate seller, the accolades have led to some incredible music opportunities.

“I opened a sold-out Club Regent Casino concert in Win­ nipeg for the legendary Tanya Tucker,” said Keown. “That’s

prob­a bly one of the coolest things I get to do as an artist — meet and open for some really amazing entertainers.”

Family support Wife Zoe, an elementar y school teacher, and their three boys, Austin (14), Ethan (12), and Corbin (10), enjoy being together with him as a family, whether it be camping, snowmobiling or dirt biking.

Keown said 2017 is a very busy year with shows, and selections to appear at the Canadian Country Music Association Spotlight Competition, and the Josie Music Awards in Nashville, Tenn.

With three active boys and coaching and volunteering, he finds it difficult to find a lot of time to dedicate to songwriting, but appreciates all the support.

“From family to fans, I would just like to thank everyone for their continued support of my music and hope they come out to a show,” said Keown. “Links to my social media can be found at www.ryankeown.com.”

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.

Built in 1927 for United Grain Growers, a 30,000-bushel grain elevator in the village of Hilton, on the CNR Wawanesa Subdivision in what is now the Rural Municipality of Prairie Lakes, was closed in July 1966, never having had an annex built beside it. The last of three elevators that once stood at Hilton, the building was traded to Manitoba Pool in 1976 and moved 12 miles to Ninette, where it replaced an elevator that had collapsed suddenly. It stood there until demolition in 1989. Source: University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections

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!
