AB elm pruning ban starts April 1

Your

Northern Horizon

To help keep Alberta Dutch elm disease (DED) free, the Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease (STOPDED) encourages everyone to pay attention to the provincial elm pruning ban between April 1 and September 30, 2018.

To help eliminate beetle habitat, it is important to properly prune all dead wood out of your elms and dispose of all pruned elm wood and elm firewood by burning, burying, or chipping by March 31. Stored elm wood can harbour the elm bark beetles that can carry DED. “Elm bark beetles are responsible for spreading the deadly DED fungus. They feed on healthy elms and breed in dead and dying elm trees,” says Janet Feddes-Calpas, STOPDED executive director. “If elm trees are pruned during the pruning ban period, beetles that are active at this time can be attracted to the

Having your tree pruned properly is important. Many trees are killed or ruined annually from improper pruning. Pruning like any other skill requires knowledge and should be done by a professional certified arborist who can determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance, and safety of your trees.

Topping or removing an excessive amount of live wood is not recommended on any variety of trees and will weaken the tree’s structure. Find more information on certified arborists at isaprairie.com and DED at www. stopded.org

Toast to BC Wine month in April

Breakfast Brief “I feel slightly uneasy at the way historians are consulted as if history is going to repeat itself.

It never does.”

– Antony Beevor (English Historian) Grain Markets Uneasy Again with More Trump Tariffs Grain markets are all in the red this morning as we’re seeing a bit of a Friday sell-off to cap off a volatile week. The reason behind this morning’s start in the red in grain markets is because US President Donald Trump has proposed another $100 billion in tariffs against Chinese products.

As I mentioned in Wednesday’s Breakfast Brief, the US and China are playing a game of chicken regarding trade. Again, the problem is that they both think the other is the bigger chicken.

There’s hope from many farmers that this is just a war of words. With each volley of war of words though, the likelihood words become a reality seems to be more likely.

Soybean prices are leading grain markets lower, but canola prices aren’t following suit as much as there are thoughts about fewer acres getting seeded in Canada this year.

of the vineyard, tasting rooms and Miradoro restaurant at the Tinhorn Creek winery in Oliver.

“B.C. wineries enrich our communities, attracting tourism to our province and opening up employment opportunities,” said Premier John Horgan. “B.C. Wine Month is our chance to raise a glass in celebration of our delicious local wines, and the hardworking people who make them.”

“All month long we will be celebrating B.C. wine and encouraging everyone to learn more about the province’s wine industry, from the growing and harvesting of the grapes, to winemaking and wine and food pairings, and everything in between,” said Popham.

Premier Horgan and Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture, were joined by Miles Prodan, president and CEO of the BC Wine Institute, to kick off B.C. Wine Month with a tour

With the heavy snow and colder temperatures that Western Canada sees right now, there are more thoughts that less wheat and canola will get planted, and instead, more barley, soybeans, and oats will get seeded in the Canadian Prairies. We’ll be publishing an assessment of the likelihood of lower canola acres later today in for our canola GrainCents readers, so watch our GrainCents twitter feed to catch it before the weekend.

Wheat prices are also lower this morning on those above increased geopolitical risk. Conditions of the winter wheat crop in the Canadian Prairies are certainly uncertain right now. Technically, the conditions in the US are a bit bullish as potentially record cold temperatures are in the forecast for this weekend. This as the crop is starting to emerge out of dormancy in a few places.

Barley and Durum Expectations in 2018 The UK barley crop is starting to get seeded after a bit of a dismal 2017 harvest. UK barley prices are being supported though as spring barley planting delays are being seen in not only the UK but also France and Germany (AKA usual spring weather premium). Right now, barley prices are paying better than wheat in the EU and Russia. Thus, if you had an option to plant or the other this spring, what’s the most logical cereal to seed?

Malt barley prices in North America haven’t been that great this year as supply has been pretty readily available. Demand is still pretty decent, especially in the US and Mexico. Something to consider though is that Mexico’s import taxes before NAFTA was signed in 1993 were about 175%. If NAFTA gets renegotiated and free trade for malt barley isn’t maintained, what will happen to malt barley prices? We answered that questioned yesterday for our barley GrainCents readers.

Canada durum exports to Italy (or the lack thereof) continue to be a drag on durum prices. Without that market, durum exports are sitting a little bit behind where they were a year ago at this time.

Algeria remains an important destination for Canadian durum wheat, but Algeria is looking to start more irrigation. Their goal is to be more self-sufficient when it comes to durum production within the next two years. Seems like an impossible feat for the North African country, but what if they make some progress?

Does China What Soybeans or Canola?

The Brazilian Real nearly touched a one-year low against the US Dollar yesterday, which continues to strengthen domestic soybean prices in Brazil. This is certainly supporting prospects of another large crop in the Brazilian 2018/19 crop year (they’re just finishing the harvest of their 2017/18 crop now) with ideas of 120 million tonnes floating around already.

Cumulative soybean crush in China is reported to sit at 44 million tonnes, according to AgResource.

This would about 9% higher than what has crushed at this time a year ago. The USDA is currently forecasting that China will crush 95 million tonnes of soybeans this year, and they are definitely on pace to do that.

There are obviously some concerns though about who’s going to supply China with all the soybeans they need, especially if a 25% import tax is placed on US soybeans. This would mean that American soybeans would be more expensive than Brazilian soybeans, which means China buys more from Brazil. But if China buys more from Brazil, then the EU buys fewer soybeans from Brazil and instead buys from the US. See the musical chairs game playing out?

We’ve been asked a lot about China importing more canola to crush into meal. We’ve seen canola basis levels in Vancouver pop up closer $60 CAD /metric tonne from $40 this week so there is likely some buying going on there. But as mentioned in yesterday’s Breakfast Brief, a similar dynamic is happening in Brazilian soybean prices, as port values are increasing as there as well.

More than anything, there seem to be some short-term, knee-jerk reactions as people are feeling a bit uneasy about where this whole China versus Trump trade spat is going. As a result of this uneasiness, it’s sensible to hedge your bets and get some coverage, hence the likely increased buying.

Have a great weekend!

The council worked over the past 18 months to complete the report, which provides strategic, immediate and long-term recommendations.

They are grouped into six themes:

All prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne

Salmon farm locations Aboriginal rights and title Marine planning and community engagement Pathogens and disease Alternate technologies and approaches Transparency and information gaps The report recommends policy changes by both the B.C. government and the Government of Canada, some of which require new funding to implement.

The Province is releasing the report to allow for public review, and to enable consultation with Indigenous peoples, the aquaculture industry and Fisheries and Oceans

Canada. The report recommends further consideration of implications, risks and benefits.

The moratorium on issuing new tenures for finfish aquaculture will remain in place while the Province considers the council’s report and recommendations.

The advisory council was formed in 2016 by the Province to provide strategic advice and policy guidance to the Minister of Agriculture about the future, and issuance, of new Crown-land tenures for marine-based salmon aquaculture in British Columbia. The members of MAACFA included representatives from the aquaculture industry, academia, non-governmental organizations, First Nations and federal and provincial government officials.

The council met 12 times between July 2016 and January 2018.

It was provided with background on salmon farming (regulatory regime, operational arrangements and research and health developments) and presentations on finfish aquaculture issues.

Market Comments - Values for feed barley and wheat remained unchanged over the past two weeks in Alberta and Manitoba, but pushed higher in Saskatchewan by $5/T. Corn values meanwhile increased across the west by $5-10/T. Corn DDGS values remained unchanged in Manitoba and Saskatchewan while increasing by $10/T in Alberta. Soybean meal and canola meal prices declined across all three provinces by $10-20/T and $20-25/T respectively. Feed peas traded in the range of $265-270/T in Manitoba, $255-260/T in Saskatchewan, and $260-265/T in Alberta. * Models have been updated to reflect the latest nutrient compositions of feed ingredients, which is done periodically.

Feed Pea / Faba Bean Benchmark - The feed pea/faba bean feed benchmarks are intended to be used as a pricing reference. This benchmark provides a consistent and unbiased estimate of the feeding value of peas and low tannin faba beans in the three regions shown. Feed peas and faba beans will trade at various differentials to the benchmark based on local supply/demand, quality differences and other contract terms.

Feed Pea / Faba Bean Feed Benchmark Calculation - The feed pea/faba bean feed benchmarks are an estimate of the feeding value of dry peas/low tannin faba beans in Western Canada, based on the value of competing feed ingredients in swine rations.

Bi-weekly, tradable prices for the major feed ingredients are collected for the three regions shown above. These prices are then entered into a least cost feed formulation that is typical for grower-finisher swine in Western Canada. A feeding value is then derived for feed peas/ faba beans based on their nutritional characteristics and the prices of the competing feed ingredients. The least cost feed formulation was developed in consultation with the Prairie Swine Centre. In addition to the feed ingredients shown above, the feed formulation also includes canola oil, synthetic lysine, synthetic methionine, synthetic threonine, synthetic tryptophan, mono-dicalcium phosphate, limestone, salt, vitamins and minerals.

New president of Canadian Cattlemen’s Association from BC A former president of the BC Cattlemen’s Association is the new president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

David Haywood-Farmer was elected by acclamation as president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association at the group’s annual general meeting last week in Ottawa.

Haywood-Farmer, a cow-calf producer at Savona, B.C., about 40 km west of Kamloops, was the BCCA’s president from 2012 to 2014 and past-president until 2016, and was CCA vice-president from 2016 up until last week. As president he replaces Dan Darling of Castleton, Ont., who had led the group since 2016.

A third-generation rancher on a century farm, Haywood-Farmer has been a member of the CCA board of directors since 2014 and chaired its foreign trade committee and domestic agriculture policy and regulations committee.

Haywood-Farmer, in a CCA release Friday, said his priorities at the CCA helm include “a focus on trade and environment and ensuring a sustainable future for beef production.”

On the trade file, those priorities include pressing for “swift imple-

mentation” of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP); obtaining a free trade agreement with China; and resolving technical barriers in the Canada-European Union free trade pact.

“The CCA has achieved significant progress on a number of key files and I am determined to keep that momentum going,” he said.

Replacing Haywood-Farmer as CCA vice-president is Bob Lowe, the former chair (2015-17) of Alberta Beef Producers and a CCA board member since 2009. Lowe feeds cattle at Nanton in southern Alberta, about 30 km south of High River, and has a cow-calf operation at Eriksdale, Man., about 140 km northwest of Winnipeg.

New directors officially named last week to the CCA board include Brian McKersie of Canal Flats, B.C.; Charlie Christie of Trochu, Alta.; Miles Wowk of Beauvallon, Alta.; Gord Adams of Deloraine, Man.; Jason Reid of Thunder Bay, Ont.; and Craig McLaughlin of Whitewater Region, Ont. The CCA also elected directors Doug Sawyer, Cathy Sharp, Pat Hayes and Ramona Blyth to its executive committee. — AGCanada. com Network

Halfway for ALR public engagement the ALR and ALC. Our committee has heard concerns about growing pressures on agricultural land and the need to support farm and ranch businesses,” said Jennifer Dyson, chair of the ALR Revitalization Committee.

“A sincere thank-you to all participants who provided thought-provoking discussion and ideas. We are thankful for the passion and interest behind each conversation as part of this engagement. We encourage everyone to take the time to provide their input.”

The recommendations may include changes to the current legislative, regulatory,

and administrative framework to revitalize the ALR and the ALC. Any legislative changes that support the revitalization of the commission and the reserve are targeted for late 2018 or early 2019.

The ALC is an independent administrative tribunal dedicated to preserving agricultural land and encouraging farming in British Columbia. The ALR is a provincial zone in which agriculture is recognized as the priority use, farming is encouraged and nonagricultural uses are restricted. For more information see www. alc.gov.bc.ca

SERVING THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1978

THE NEXT GENERATION IS GETTING READY There are a lot of people out there bemoaning the state of the cattle industry and, in particular, the average age of the people involved in the industry.

Over the course of this year, the Northern Horizon will be highlighting youth involved in the Peace Country cattle industry in the hopes of dispelling the rumours that the cattle industry is in jeopardy.

In the Peace Country, the future of the cattle industry is here and now ... ... and it won`t be going anywhere for quite a while.

The Northern Horizon recognizes Gracie White, daughter of Scott and Marie White who ranch in the Upper Cutbank area around Dawson Creek, BC. I spotted Gracie at the 45th Annual Dawson Creek All Breeds Bull Sale as she was playing point person and spotter for her dad. You can tell by her expressions and the way she was paying attention to every detail in the showbook; she wasn`t there just for hot dogs.

The public engagement portion of the Revitalization of the Agricultural Land Reserve and the Agricultural Land Commission has reached the halfway point, with more than 7, 510 visits to the engagement website, and stakeholder meetings held in nine communities throughout British Columbia.

“The public engagement site has seen a lot of interaction from British Columbians who are passionate about our Agricultural Land Reserve, and want to share their vision for the revitalization,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “So far we’ve had 989 surveys completed, and we hope to see that number increase over the next half of the engagement period.

Now’s the time to have your say on revitalizing the ALR for the 21st century.”

Popham announced the members of the independent committee tasked with overseeing the ALR revitalization process in January of this year.

“Our advisory committee has visited communities in regions around the province, meeting with farm and ranch organizations and local governments to listen to their views on revitalizing

Long-term tax plans needed for ranchers If there’s one thing Lance Stockbrugger knows about farmers and ranchers, it’s that they don’t like paying tax.

Stockbrugger is a chartered accountant, specializing in income tax, who has spent 20 years sharing his specialized agriculture knowledge with his clients in areas of estate planning, tax reorganization and intergenerational transitions.

While he hasn’t been practicing as a full-time chartered accountant since returning to the farm full time, he regularly takes his message to producers about planning for taxation and passing on the farm or ranch through various speaking engagements.

The 2016 Census of Agriculture tells us the average age of a Canadian farmer/rancher is now 55. In 2016, there were 193,492 farms controlling

over 158 million acres.

With so many acres and capital assets at stake, the tax implications of both the day-to-day operations using various business structures, as well as impending generational transfers, could be enormous. Poor planning will mean that producers risk paying more in taxes than they otherwise would.

Stockbrugger encourages producers to start tax and succession planning early and to get information from advisers that specialize in agricultural tax planning. One-size-fits-all solutions do not cover the different situations that each producer will face. Tax planning for a bachelor with no obvious successor will differ significantly from an operation that hopes to complete a generational transition from a founder to three children.

The most common business structure for farmers is a sole proprietorship, with over 50 per cent of farms and ranches still reporting income in this way. Advantages of a sole proprietorship are the simplicity and lower startup costs, as well as the lower costs and requirements of filing tax returns. The founder has absolute control of farming decisions, owns the business and all of its assets, but is also responsible for all of the debts and liabilities of the business. The owner can use the cash method to report income for tax purposes which allows them to defer income and use the optional inventory adjustment when it makes sense to do so. There are some favourable rollover rules and capital gains exemptions available through a sole proprietorship that are not available to corporations.

Under this structure, tax rates are calculated at the personal tax rates starting at 26 per cent for income up to approximately $46,500 and continue to increase at margin tax brackets ending at 48 per cent for income over approximately $205,000. Rates vary somewhat from province to province for personal tax limits, so discuss specifics with accountants. The volatility in both cattle and grain markets can create significant income swings, so careful monitoring of sales and income is required to avoid large surprises.

Partnerships are the second business structure recognized by Canada Revenue Agency, and are used by approximately 23 per cent of farmers and ranchers. Partnerships offer advantages such as: simplicity and low cost to set up and operate as income is filed as part of personal tax returns; the ability to carry on business under a business name; profit (or loss) sharing between partners as per their partnership agreement, such as with a spouse or other partners; the combined expertise and resources of more than one person, and

a legal structure which is fairly easy to modify, such as from partnership to corporation. Partnerships also allow the split ownership of capital (equipment, cattle and grain inventory) so that if it becomes beneficial to wind down or transfer the operation, both taxpayers’ rollover or capital gains exemptions (of $1 million each) can be utilized.

The disadvantages of partnerships include the shared risk, whereby both partners are jointly and severally responsible for any liabiliti.es or debts of the partnership. When partnerships stop working effectively, they can also be difficult to get out of. Management disputes can occur and in the absence of a formal partnership agreement, confusion over roles and responsibilities are not uncommon.

The final option discussed by Stockbrugger was a corporation. It is used by 25.1 per cent of the farms across Canada in 2016; an increase from the 2011 census amount of 19.8 per cent.

Advisers and accountants often suggest incorporation for several reasons — the first being the lower tax rate. While a sole proprietor will pay taxes based on the levels for individuals, the corporate rate is calculated at a rate of 11.5 per cent for net income up to the $500,000 and 27 per cent for active business income greater than $500,000.

Another reason advisers may suggest incorporation is to mitigate risk and liability. Personal liability risk is reduced by owning the assets within the corporation. The ability to use dividends as tax planning mechanisms can be another advantage, although there are several new tax rules announced by the federal government around this issue so ensure your individual situation meets the new requirements.

It is not uncommon for people to be overwhelmed at the thought of potential conflict or issues and postpone the process. Stockbrugger recounted a story about a client who spent considerable time and effort working through the planning and transition process, only to panic and back out at the last minute. Ultimately, he was able to determine the source of the client’s anxiety and they modified the plan slightly to make all parties comfortable. The key, says Stockbrugger is to have clear and transparent communication and an adviser that is working to find the best solution for all.

Stockbrugger suggests finding an adviser who will work with you. Take the time to interview several accountants to find one that has the training and practical knowledge to find the best structure for your individual situation.

It is time to talk about marijuana and your pets Written by Dr. Zoe Ross With the increase of medical marijuana use and the upcoming legalization of marijuana in Canada, it is important to understand the potential for marijuana toxicity in pets. As we know from other medications, pets metabolize drugs differently than people and as a result can be more sensitive to them and this is the case with marijuana. Pets that accidentally ingest marijuana can show signs such as excessive salivation, lethargy, fast or slow heart rates, dilated pupils, decrease in body temperature, incoordination, vocalizing, sensitivity to sound or light, urinary incontinence and vomiting. If very high levels are ingested seizures, coma and even death may occur. Sometimes medical marijuana is combined with chocolate to make it easy for patients to take and this can make the pet even more sick as chocolate is toxic to dogs as well. If you suspect your pet may have consumed marijuana, contact your veterinarian and measures can be taken to treat the toxicity.

As a veterinarian, I often get asked about using medical marijuana or hemp to treat various diseases. I do think that there may be beneficial effects from these products for pets. Unfortunately though there hasn’t been a lot of research in this area yet. Medications typically undergo rigorous trials before they are released for use. The most important thing that pharmaceutical companies and the FDA determine is the safety of drugs and what the toxic level of the drug is. I know I would be hesitant to use a product if I didn’t know the product was safe and that is important for pets as well. As a veterinarian it is important for us to help animals and not harm them. Once it is determined that a product is safe and the potential side effects have been identified, research is then done to determine if the product is beneficial. These studies can be expensive and time consuming and sometimes it can be years before the trial period for a product is complete and it is released on the market.

I think there can be a lot of benefits of nutraceuticals and alternative therapies but there is a

15

sad shortage of research behind their use, safety and their benefits.

There are 3 classes of marijuana: 1) Recreational - this has high levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in it which is the psychoactive compound and has the highest level of risk to pets for toxicity.

2) Medical – most of these products have quite low levels of THC in them and contain higher levels of CBD (cannabidiol) which are used for the medical treatments in people. While safer, these products still have high enough levels of THC in them to produce toxicity in pets.

3) Hemp – most hemp oil or hemp products are produced from legal hemp plants. There are a lot of proposed benefits to the use of hemp in pets and because they either have no or very low levels of THC in them they are considered safer however there is still a lack of studies to know what the toxic levels or the potential side effects are.

Veterinarians are not legally allowed to sell or prescribe medical marijuana in Canada at this time because there are no cannabidiol (CBD) products that are approved by Health Canada and the legalization of medical marijuana in Canada only applies to human use. As more research is done and products become approved, this may change. With more research, more information will become available on both the benefits and the safe dosages.

Grill these chicken thighs with spicy miso mayo Ingredients

1 small yellow bell pepper One 1 1/2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped 5 garlic cloves, crushed 1/4 cup yuzu kosho paste 2 stalks of fresh lemongrass, tender inner white parts only, chopped 1/4 cup yuzu juice 1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro 1 cup canola oil, plus more for greasing 8 boneless skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds) 1/3 cup mayonnaise 2 teaspoons shiro miso 2 teaspoons Sriracha Kosher salt thinly sliced scallions,for garnish

the ginger, garlic, yuzu kosho, lemongrass, yuzu juice and cilantro and pulse a few times. With the blender on, slowly add the 1 cup of canola oil, scraping down the side, until well blended.

Transfer 1/4 cup of the marinade to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate.

Pour the remaining marinade into a bowl. Add the chicken and massage the marinade into the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.

Light a grill and brush the grates with oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt. Grill over moderate heat, brushing with the reserved marinade and turning occasionally, until the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken and transfer to a platter. Garnish with the scallions and serve with the spicy mayo.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, miso and Sriracha. Season with salt and mix well.

Yuzu kosho is a hot, spicy and aromatic Japanese condiment made from hot chiles and ultracitrusy yuzu zest. Shiro miso is light yellow miso.

How to get it on Roast the bell pepper directly over a gas flame or under the broiler, turning, until charred all over, 5 minutes. Place the bell pepper in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let steam for 15 minutes. Peel, seed and chop the pepper.

Grill this chicken under a brick!

CHICKEN 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon granulated garlic 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Two 3-pound chickens, backbones cut out CHIMICHURRI 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup chopped parsley 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 large garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Fist pump, yes!

In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients except the chickens. Set the chickens breast sides up on

a rimmed baking sheet. Flatten the birds, fold the wing tips under and arrange the thighs next to the breasts. Make 2 slashes in the breasts and 1 slash in the legs and thighs. Rub with the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before grilling.

In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients.

Light a grill. Cover 2 bricks with foil. Grill the chickens breast sides down, pressed with the bricks, over moderate heat until browned, 15 minutes. Flip and grill over low heat until the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced, about 25 minutes longer. Transfer the chickens to a carving board to rest for 10 minutes. Carve and serve, passing the chimichurri at the table.

The Alberta Agriculture and Forestry website contains extremely useful tools for Albertans to use. One such tool is the Alberta Soil Information Viewer, which provides various levels of soil information to various professions in our province.

The Northern Horizon, April 13, 2018

“The viewer is used by those in real estate to obtain the soil quality rating to sell or buy land,” adds Brook. “It has been used by producers looking at expanding their land holdings or contemplating buying land where they need some measure of potential productivity. Reclamation groups use it to help recover disturbed or industrial land and put it back to a productive, agricultural state. There are many other applications this information is used for and we have only scratched the surface.”

zones along a designated line,” says Brook. “It is a great tool to use in developing an Environmental Farm Plan. Best of all, everything you do on the screen can either be downloaded to a spreadsheet or printed out. It is a power tools for planning and analysis.”

It can also be used as a search tool if you are looking for a specific type of soil in a given area.

“For example,” says Brook. “If you want to identify the best and most productive soils in an area, you would search for #2 soils, which are the best soils we have in the province. The viewer can reveal all quarters where that soil exists.”

Brook explains the viewer further, “If you are in rural real estate, it will provide a first level view giving a numerical productivity rating for the land. If you dig deeper it gives the soil group and soil name. And yes, they all have names. At the most detailed level you can get a description of each soil layer, its texture and thickness, as well as other special characteristics and limitations.

It is a useful diagnostic tool in determining soilbased restrictions to production or to help troubleshoot problem areas.”

The viewer contains a number of useful features including a measuring tool to mark out a particular area in a field, and high resolution photo magnification. It can measure linear distances and area in square feet, hectares, or acres.

It also includes the GPS coordinates to allow for ground truthing of the selected area.

“The program also can be used for planning purposes and can be used to mark out buffer

“It is a terrific tool to be used for agricultural production and that utility extends to industrial and other uses,” adds Brook. “As with any tool, it can help in the interpretation of soil for a multitude of uses but is still not a replacement for intimate knowledge of soils from people who directly farm a piece of land. However, it is still the next, best thing to having your boots in the field.”

Crop protection 2018 ‘Blue Book’ is here

“For 2018, foliar fungicides are the pesticide type with the most new registrations, continuing the trend seen in recent years of significant growth in registered foliar fungicide products.”

The new fungicides are registered for use on canola, cereal

crops, pulse crops, and potatoes.

There are limited new registrations for seed treatments and insecticides. One new seed treatment will be available in 2018, and it is registered on a variety of cereal crops.

Newly registered insecticides are available for use on cereal crops, oilseed crops, and potatoes.

“New herbicide registrations include products that can be used in pre-seed applications or in-crop applications,” said Cutts. “Preseed herbicides are registered for use ahead of seeding wheat or on fallow acres. New in-crop herbicide products are registered for use on wheat.”

When using pesticides, it is important to be aware of pesticide resistance. It is recommended that pesticide products be selected based on chemical group and active ingredient. All pesticide products presented in the Blue Book have their chemical group and active ingredient listed. The book can be downloaded for free on the Alberta Agriculture website. A hard copy, which costs $12, can also be ordered online or by calling 780427-0391.

More than 600 pages of info on pesticide products, and an invaluable guide for producers, is now up for grabs.

This year’s edition of the ‘Blue Book’ is now available.

“An important part of the annual update includes newly registered pesticide products,” said crop specialist Mark Cutts, co-editor of the book, officially known as Crop Protection 2018.

“This year’s edition includes new additions to the four main pesticide types: herbicides, insecticides, seed treatments, and foliar fungicides. In addition to including new products, previously registered products are updated.

Significant changes in some products, crops covered, and usage instructions give producers more options than ever.

A GROWING WORLD

DEMANDS HIGHER PROFITS.

Headland turn pattern with 70’ implement

Test results show how productive and efficient the T9 SmartTrax IITM standard track series can be, versus competitive series. Here’s how New Holland interprets the test results: · · · ·

More Power: up to 10% more drawbar horsepower and efficient power transfer to the ground More Performance: up to 15% more maximum drawbar pull to handle larger, heavier implements Better Versatility: up to 20% better headland turn capability so work gets done faster Better Productivity: up to 35% better forward visibility, so you can work safer

Productivity gains in tractor efficiencies and operator costs, could save you over $5,000 a year over the competition. It all adds up to more profit for you and more money in your pocket.

Back in 1936, homesteaders were moving on the Blueberry Mountain land area. Among the settlers were Mr. and Mrs. Rod Macdonald and Jim Graham. Homesteading at that period meant isolation roads were primitive and no phones.

No electricity, no Netflix.

Mrs. Macdonald was instrumental in starting up the WMS Blueberry Mountain group, which first met at her home, then the community hall, before finally convening in the church. On Friday, February 28, 1936, 11 ladies met to observe the World’s Day of Prayer. It was suggested a WMS could be formed, and they could meet monthly. So they did, and Macdonald was the WMS president for the next 13 years.

Time to be patient in current pulse market

Canadian pea and lentil area will decline for 2018, a trend strengthened last week in the United States Department of Agriculture acreage projections, forecasting farmers intend to plant 28 per cent fewer lentils and 20 per cent fewer peas in 2018.

Heavy global supplies and weak prices make both crops less attractive options for growers in the aftermath of this winter’s move by India to impose significant import tariffs to slow the inflow into that country - the world’s largest proPINE 1 x 6 T&G DECK PACKAGES METAL SIDING & ROOFING FRAMING LUMBER TIMBER FRAMING MATERIALS

ducer, consumer and importer of pulses.

The market situation there is not about to rectify anytime soon, unless a significant crop threat emerges.

Updated production estimates from the Indian government suggest record large pulse production of near 24 million tonnes this year, exacerbating the current supply over demand imbalance. As such, any pulse commodity will be subject to random changes to the Indian government import tariffs. This means shallow trade.

When that occurs, actions are taken to satisfy only short-term needs.

However, worldwide consumption of pulses in its various forms is not slowing down. In fact, if anything, it is accelerating. And the ultimate health of the pulse sector, which remains challenged at the moment, will regain strength in the years ahead.

What we may witness in the intermediate is a shifting of the demand matrix, moving perhaps from a near exclusive dependence on India as the primary buyer of Canadian pulses to a demand marketplace becoming more diversified, with domestic consumption and processing playing a much greater role. Think of something akin to how Canada’s canola market has developed.

India is making a concerted effort to become self-sufficient in pulse crop production, and while unpredictable weather will likely mean the country will still need to buy from Canada regularly, that buying simply can’t be relied on any longer. Instead, the future may now be domestic processing.

According to a Canada West Foundation report released late last year, an immense opportunity is being presented by the multi-billiondollar plant ingredient market. The report makes

the case that the Canadian Prairies has what it takes to become the dominate global player as the world increasingly looks for green and sustainable sources of protein.

Since the Prairies are already a major producer of crops like lentils, peas, beans and faba beans, the plant protein market seems like a natural fit.

A number of new food processing projects announced for Western Canada over the past year strengths this opportunity.

But without a crop threat somewhere, there is likely no quick fix for depressed market conditions prevailing today.

In the case of the lentil market, consistent with past pricing cycles, market rebalancing and price recovery will take at minimum a year, but prepare for two. If you can’t wait one or two years and you plan to grow more lentils in 2018, look to pick a spot to sell old crop in order to shrink the pile that can be topped up with 2018 crop. That strategy applies to both green and red lentils.

Peas are still the cheapest pulse out there. But starch, protein, feed value demand growth develops slowly and occurs in small cumulative lots.

None of it lugs the 50,000 to 100,000 tonne demand splash that India buying used to bring.

Bottom line Import restrictions imposed by India continue to impact pulse prices. Market rebalancing and price recovery is on the way, but will take a year or two. Now is a good time to sell old crop in order to make way for the 2018 crop.

Collie Corner

Developing that basic instinct

Working dogs vary widely when it comes to talent and personalities even though they may all be border collies.

There is a vast difference among the dogs and their individual working styles that will require a different approach to training depending on their own distinctiveness. Some dogs are ready and willing to work at a young age while others will

need to be managed differently.

The first consideration in a working dog is genetics and breeding.

Some lines of working dogs have a fiercely strong motivation to work and start early in life while other lines may be more passive and need a bit of help in developing the instinct.

The dogs that have a passion to work are easy in the fact that they just need work to train and develop their natural abilities. They are not easily intimidated and generally take day to day work with its bumps and misfortunes in good stride.

This dog shows lots of interest in stock by watching it keenly and taking every opportunity to move the stock from an early age. These dogs instinct is already working and will continue to grow with everyday chores and work.

Dogs that do not have a strong working drive may need a bit of help in developing the working instinct.

These dogs may need a different approach to their daily lives so they begin focusing more on work than

the fun they are presently having.

The daily fun, such as running free in the yard and playing with other dogs needs to be removed from their lives.

They require a lot of structure so their interests shift from their world into you and the stocks world. This is done by removing all the other interesting aspects of their lives and making work the most stimulating and exciting part of the day. A daily work schedule is a must for these dogs as the more they are worked the more the instinct will start to develop. This involves the handler having to swallow any irritation or impatience to keep work a favorable and positive experience for the dog as these dogs do not take criticism well and need to be pampered a bit to get them to grow and become trainable.

Every positive working session the dog experiences will help develop the working instinct.

The Northern Horizon, April 13, 2018

Lessons in financial resilience from the U.S. downturn The slowdown in commodity prices since 2013 has hit the U.S. agriculture sector hard. Not surprisingly, their net cash income dropped 30% between 2014 and 2017. They managed to stay afloat though, thanks in large part to their success in reducing costs of production.

A similar emphasis will help Canadian producers weather any market disruption 2018 and 2019 may bring. Margins are expected to tighten in Canada in 2018. And because Canadian producers can’t influence prices, managing costs while working to become even more efficient on every acre will be key.

Soybean and corn prices have been, on average, below the U.S. cost of production for several years.

Producers adjusted to those low prices by reducing costs: total U.S.

costs per acre peaked in 2014.

Farmland values and rental rates are one example. They recently adjusted downward as a reflection of the U.S. downturn, but within their usual notoriously slow adjustment period. While crop receipts in Iowa and Illinois peaked in 2012, farmland rental rates in these two states didn’t stop climbing until 2014, when they peaked at US$260 and US$234 per acre, respectively. That was also when these states’ farmland values peaked (at US$8,750 and US$7,700 per acre, respectively).

Farm fuel and fertilizer prices are another. Through the sheer size of the U.S. market, producers there drive the overall demand for fertilizer, and therefore prices. In 2017, year-over-year fertilizer prices in the U.S. fell 3% on average and have

dropped 30% during the slowdown in the U.S. agriculture sector.

U.S. profitability and financial leverage in 2018 point to a weakening position Although costs seem to be falling further, tight margins are expected to continue – until corn exceeds US$4 per bushel and soybeans exceed US$10 per bushel. Average rents have also fallen, but they’ll need to decline further for U.S. corn and soybean farmers to be profitable. Tight profit margins in the U.S. have put a financial strain on the liquidity (the ability to pay outstanding short-term debt) of some op-

41

erations more than their solvency (the ability to pay all debt, including both short- and long-term debt).

Operations with working capital constraints in recent years have been able to extend the amortization of their loans, while negotiating more favourable interest rates on long-term debt.

China is likely to break last year’s record barley imports from Canada, but while most of that demand is for malt quality, it’s feed prices that are firming—enough even to draw malt barley.

“Exports of malting barley to China are projected to be a record, set to exceed one million tonnes,” says Peter Watts, managing director of the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre. “Last year it was about 800,000 tonnes, which was also a record.”

China bought 891,000 tonnes of Canadian barley from August 2017 to January 2018, Statistics Canada data shows. That’s 85 per cent of Canada’s total barley sales, and over double year-ago figures.

Malt quality “The exports to China are virtually all malting barley,” says Phil de Kemp, executive director of the Barley Council of Canada. “That’s a result of some of the difficulties that Australia had.”

Australia grew a more average sized crop in 2017 of eight million tonnes, well off its record 13.4 million the previous year.

And while rainfall during Australia’s harvest impacted quality and top-grade malt barley availability, Western Canada harvested its best malting barley crop since 2013, with selection rates running 65 to 70 per cent, CMBTC previously reported.

Prices Agriculture Canada’s latest outlook reports that Lethbridge barley

prices in March jumped close to $20 a tonne to a crop year high.

“Strong feed barley values have definitely resulted in quite a lot of malting quality barley being sold into feed channels,” Watts says.

Owing to strong supplies in North America, domestic malt barley prices haven’t increased by the same extent as feed barley, Agriculture Canada notes.

The department adds that Canadian new crop malt barley prices were only slightly higher than 2017-18 as the domestic barley inventory, like that in the U.S., is of high quality.

Curtailed Chinese demand De Kemp doubts China’s thirst for Canadian malt barley will maintain this year’s rocket pace, especially if Australian output bounces back. But this year’s opportunities were useful in establishing a presence with new purchasers.

They would have seen for themselves the benefits of using Canada’s higher protein malt barley, de Kemp says. Adjunct brewing requires higher protein, and China prefers malt barley protein of 11.5 per cent or higher, which Canada consistently produces, he points out.

Bottom line High North American malt barley supplies offset bullishness of record Canadian exports to China, a sales pace very likely to slow down.

We need to know the most rider friendly community!

Brooks, AB? Driftpile? Boyle? Smokey Lake? Taylor, BC? I have been working diligently along with my web mistress, our sales gal and our two admin assistants to promote and spread the word about Canada’s MOST Rider Friendly Community Contest. All of us are riders, just FYI! We have 140+ communities that have been nominated this year, which meant tons of creative to build, videos, promotional memes and the like. We still have tons of phone calls to make to the various community futures offices and to share news of the contest to all of the riding clubs and charities we support.

WHAT A TASK!!! But we are loving it. Why? Because this contest celebrates OUR COMMUNITY. If I am going to make my living, if the riders who work for this company as contractors are going to make their living from work in the community we live in, the rider community, then we need to always be giving back into our community and that’s what this contest is all about.

COMMUNITY - GIVING BACK to all of the little businesses that support we riders, no matter where we live, for every poker run, rally and show ‘n’ shine we host for charity.

It’s about giving back to every volunteer who has done something selfless, every event coordinator that busts their butts to give us great events to attend.

The reactions to the contest have been incredible and it is wonderful to see how many Community Futures Offices are now coming on board as sponsors as are small tourism offices.

Why is an economic development non profit involved? Simple, they help entrepreneurs start

and expand their businesses. They offer services to coach, teach and mentor small business people, they offer financing and they offer special supports for Entrepreneurs with Disabilities!

They know that the riding community is filled with small business owners and they know that small communities and their business owners need to take advantage of the custom that riders can bring to their area.

Simply put, Community Futures wants to help grow rural Canada.

Helping small businesses become more rider friendly, helping them with strategic planning, to take advantage of our needs and help them identify what are the right services for them to provide to us!

We have many incredible media sponsors on board as well: Out of Washington State we have World of Motorcycling Podcasts with Steve Johann and Rev Walt.

Out of Colorado, we have Colorado Rider News. From Oshawa Ontario we have Lou DeVuono from Kickstands Up on RealityRadio 101, Man Wants Digital Magazine out of Great Britain and in Northern BC and Alberta we have the Northern Horizon/Mirror Newspaper. EastLinkTv has donated the air time for us to promote the winning community and the runner up with commercials and for us to air what we film when Ride Like a Local comes to an event to film the volunteers, community leaders, attendees etc...

Then there is all of my company, Belt Drive Betty Media.

Facebook online talk show, Rider Friendly Report, our events calendars www.canadianmotorcycleevents.com our mother site, beltdrivebetty. com and all of it’s Facebook pages, this blog and a the Rider Friendly Business Association and it’s Facebook Pages and group.

In all, Belt Drive Betty Media alone gives out over $60,000 in free marketing to these communities, that does not include the work we do to get ready for the contest, the highway signs, trophy, plaques etc....that’s straight up the advertising prizes we give away.

Everything that our sponsors donate for space, save for EastLinkTV’s air time, is a bonus to our communities.

Rural Canada, small communities under 100,000 in size, it’s where we ride, where we as riders yearn to go to when on our motorcycles, this contest helps us to discover wonder places that other riders love...

Vote for your favourite community at www. riderfriendlycontest.ca #RiderFriendlyContest Have a blessed day and if you are lucky enough to nee riding, think of me, here in Grande Prairie Alberta Canada in -14 with three feet of snow still on the ground and thank your lucky stars you live where you can be riding.

The Northern Horizon, April 13, 2018

BC takes new approach to testing older drivers Frank Harding is 98 years old and most days he drives his 1990 Volvo sedan to the Comox Recreation Centre where he works out.

One summer, the resident of Courtenay, B.C., said he drove across Canada four times from Vancouver Island to New Brunswick to visit relatives, although he doesn’t drive that much any more.

Canadian Press reports Harding recently faced the prospect of losing his driver’s licence under a revamped driver reassessment program geared at drivers in B.C. once they reach 80 years old, which has raised questions about age discrimination. Harding, who learned to drive tractors on family farms and trucks during the Second World War, said he was told to take a road test after undergoing a governmentordered driving fitness exam by his doctor.

“I went and I didn’t do so good on my medical,” said Harding. “So, he wanted me to have a road test, so I went and had a road test and I came through with flying colours.”

In March, the B.C. government introduced its Enhanced Road Assessment program, which is the

second stage of its fitness testing program for driver’s licences. It replaced the former DriveABLE program, which drew criticism from seniors for its reliance on computer tests and road tests in unfamiliar vehicles. RoadSafetyBC, the government agency responsible for road safety, mandates every person at age 80, and every two years following, must undergo a Driver Medical Examination Report. The report serves as the primary tool for the assessment of conditions that may affect someone’s fitness to drive.

Harding, who has been through several driver fitness exams since he turned 80, said this was the first time he had to take a road test. He agreed it was time to retest his skills, but he said his life would have changed if he lost his licence.

“I think it’s a good idea,” he said.

“I think it’s a very good thing.”

B.C.’s seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie said the new testing program is less daunting for seniors, but she is concerned about targeting drivers just because they are 80 years old.

“Why are we doing it based on age and who picked age 80?” she asked. Driving regulations based on age vary across Canada.

SPCA ground breaking for new facility this spring The South Peace SPCA is looking forward to a spring construction beginning on their new facility, the South Peace Community Animal Centre.

The facility, which will be located on land donated by the city at 11418 Third Street, will replace the building they currently use, which is getting too small.

“It’s going to give us a lot more space, and really help us increase our ability to help people in the region,” says branch manager Wendy Davies. “[It will] really allow for us to focus on community needs.”

Originally announced in March 2017, the building process was delayed “because the bids came on much higher than expected,” result-

ing in “some of the plans” being redone. The new facility will be 4,400 square feet, as opposed to the 4,800 originally announced.

According the original press release, the project was slated to cost $2.7 million, with $800,000 coming from the BC government’s $10,000,000 contribution to the BC SPCA. A major priority for the new shelter is to get the community involved, Davies explains.

“It’s going to be really based around and focusing on allowing the community to get involved more, kids programs, things like that,” she says. “That will allow us to be a better part of the community.” reporter@dcdn.ca

New study confirms benefits of whole grains

The eight-week study included 81 participants – healthy, non-smoking men and women between the ages of

40 and 65.

What the scientists found was that “participants in the whole-grain group lost approximately 100 more calories per day than refined-grain eaters – the equivalent of walking briskly for 30 minutes.”

The scientists say the whole-grain participants lost the calories because of an “increased metabolic rate and increased fecal energy losses.”

The ARS adds that “the wholegrain diet gave a moderate boost to populations of beneficial Lachnospira bacteria, which make protective short-chain fatty acids and help counteract another bacterial species that contributes to inflammation. Such gut bacteria comprise a larger community of microorganisms, called the microbiota, that live on or in the human body. They are of increasing interest to scientists for the diverse and often beneficial roles they play, including helping digest food, extract nutrients, regulate metabolism, and protect against disease and infection, among others.”

A new human nutrition study out of the US proves once again the benefits of whole-grain foods over refined-grain products like white bread.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says scientists with the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Centre on Aging, which is jointly run by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS, a branch of the USDA) and Tufts University in Boston, “conducted the study to clarify the role of whole grains in helping regulate weight, blood sugar levels and calorie (energy) use, among other benefits.”

The ARS explains whole grains include the “bran and other constituents intact – all rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre, carbohydrates and phytonutrients.”

Refined grains, on the other hand, are milled extensively or go through other processing.
