Signi cance of crop rotation in the Peace River region
Ecosystem services and disservices Agriculture is the major source of food, bre and feed. There is a growing realization that nature-friendly agricultural practices can generate additional bene ts in the form of stability in yield, environmental health and recreational values. The productive, environmental and recreational functions of agriculture are called agro-ecosystems services. Agricultural practices that cause heavy disturbance to soils, biodiversity (pollinators, natural enemies of pests, and nitrogen- xing, soil conditioning and anti-pathogenic micro-organisms) and natural cycles can lead to soil degradation, environmental pollution, and dysfunction of natural processes. The negative environmental and social outcomes of mismatching agricultural practices is called agro-ecosystems disservices. The production systems that generate ecosystem services and prevent the ecosystems disservices become resilient and sustainable. Need of agroecological transformation Conventional industrial cropping systems involves intensive, large-scale simpli ed monoculture (growing a few crop species in separate elds), heavily reliant on external agro-chemical inputs. Numerous studies have shown that such cropping systems lead to various negative consequences such as loss of biodiversity, land degradation, reduction in soil carbon stock, environmental pollution, evolution of resistance of pests against pesticides, loss of resiliency, and increasing costs and risks in production systems. Therefore, scienti c discourses and social movements have been increasingly oriented towards agroecologically transformative practices that generate ecosystem services. At farm level, the transformative approach involves three distinctive strategies. They are: (i) enhancing production e ciency by reducing the amount of inputs and optimizing practices that lead to lower cost of production or increase the output without increasing cost; (ii) substitution of harmful inputs and practices with bene cial alternatives (such as nitrogen fertilizers with nitrogen- xing crops); and (iii) redesign of farming systems to integrate the matching components that enhance resource conservation, nutrient recycling, and diversi cation to accommodate high level of agricultural and semi-natural biodiversity (Pretty, 2018, Wezel, Herren et al., 2020). Khanal (2022) categorized the crop management and agroecosystem design components into eight operational elements (8-Ss). These include: (i) spatial bioengineering, (ii) species diversi cation, (iii) seed management, (iv) seasonal synchrony, (v) soil management, (vi) stress management, (vii) systems integration, and (viii) socio-economic objectivity. Multiple bene ts of crop rotation Crop rotation is the practices of growing di erent crop species in sequence of time in the same eld. Crop rotation with several crop species serves diversi cation function by species and time, which assists in soil and stressors management strategies. Diversi ed well-planned crop rotation can have economic and agro-ecological bene ts including increase in productivity and pro tability along with multiple ecosystem
Crop rotation can be an importation tool for adaptation to changing climate. The crop rotation strategies can be attuned to the market rhythm as to which commodity is in positive price trend to tap the pro tability, while soil-augmenting and income stabilizing crops can be chosen while major cash crops have less competitive price. Forage seed production in rotation with annual cash crops has been a signi cant economic activity for nearly a century in the Peace River region (Broersma, Robertson et al., 1997, Guitard, 1965, Stewart, 1933). The region shows a decline in forage seed acreage from 53% (in the early 2000) to 30% (recent) of the total forage seed acreage in Canada (Wong, 2017). From 2001 to 2006, the number of forage seed producers decreased from 1086 to 632 with resultant decrease in forage seed crop area from 137,904 ha to 73,604 ha between 2001 and 2006. Development of early maturing crop cultivars with stress-adaptive physiological traits (Bueckert and Clarke, 2013), and increase in frost-free period (Cutforth, O’Brien et al., 2004, Shen, Yin et al., 2005) possibly reduced the risk of annual crop production resulting in the expansion in the annual crop acreage, limiting the area under forage seed crops between 49,000 and 57,000 ha (Wong, 2017). There is a need of research and development e orts to advance innovations in the forage seed sector. Perennial forage crops provide living roots for soil binding and generating soil microbial substrates (Sanford, Jackson et al., 2021) and enhance soil carbon stock (Bolinder, Janzen et al., 2007). Peace region has predominantly gray-wooded luvisolic soils. These soils are fragile, poorlydeveloped, platy-structure, and prone to surface crust-formation, runo and erosion (Lavkulich and Arocena, 2011). The forage crops can improve these soils (Chescu, 2003, Wani, McGill et al., 1994). Replacement of perennial forage crops with simpli ed annual crop rotations with high reliance on agro-chemical inputs may compromise the resilience of the production systems (Bowles, Mooshammer et al., 2020, Malézieux, 2012, Petersen-Rockney, Baur et al., 2021). Rapid evolution of herbicide resistant weeds (Beckie, Shirri et al., 2020) and outbreaks of crop diseases such as club-root in canola (Strelkov, Hwang et al., 2021) and Fusarium head blight in wheat (Turkington, Clear et al., 2011) in the region may be some of the manifestations of issues with low diversity cropping systems. The climate warming trend (Cutforth, O’Brien et al., 2004, Shen, Yin et al., 2005) is likely to favor overwintering survival and population growth rates of crop pests (Deutsch, Tewksbury et al., 2018). A study predicted that 1°C increase from current temperature could double the risk for infestation of wheat stem saw y (Cephus cinctus) infestation, make it more favorable for persistence of migratory grasshopper (Melanoplus sanguinipes) and pea leaf weevil (Sitona lineatus) in this region (Olfert, Elliott et al., 2009). Diversi ed crop rotations can be an insurance against climatic change and resultant uncertainties (Table 1).Lavkulich, L. M. and J. M. Arocena (2011).

Fortunately, the results were negative and therefore, no significant amount of clubroot was detected. However, due to the high concentrations of clubroot found in the Alberta prairies we will continue to survey for clubroot this growing season (50 sites). This survey involves taking soil samples from multiple canola fields in the Peace Region and testing them. Clubroot is a soil-borne disease of cruciferous plants (canola and the cabbage family) and causes swelling or galls to form on the plant’s roots. Clubroot has several stages in its lifecycle and one stage consists of hardy resting spores. These spores can easily be moved with soil particles once they are released into the soil from infected plant roots. Therefore, it is important to minimize soil movement to prevent the introduction of clubroot to a new area. Other management strategies include equipment sanitation, planting clubroot-resistant cultivars, direct seeding, and effective crop rotations to help prevent or manage clubroot.

Have you ever broken a promise? Do you break promises all the time? When you say you’re going to do something but don’t, is that breaking a promise? Do you rarely make a promise because you know they can be hard tot?keep?Ifyou don’t use the word “promise” in the sentence, is it still a promise? What does it feel like when someone makes a promise to you and then breaks it? Do you promise this, that and the other thing because it seems to help in the moment? When you make a promise, do you do everything in your power to make it come true, no matter how difficult the situation might have changed for you?
I don’t think its possible to always do the right thing. You have to know what the right thing is for every horse in every moment then have the skill to get it done. I do, however, believe that we can become much better at doing the right thing and improve ourselves each day. I also believe that with self-discipline, knowledge and skill we can do the right thing most of the time but we are going to make some mistakes once in awhile.
If a horse is hard to catch, I will hear people say they chased him into a round pen using their quad or some other way then round penned him. Then they say he is still hard to catch even in the round pen. Hmmm, I wonder why? What does round penned it mean anyway? I have a round pen but it’s never been used to get a horse want to be caught. Why doesn’t he want to be caught is the question. The answer is he doesn’t like people or maybe, more to the point, it’s just that person he doesn’t like. The cure is to be the person that horses like. Chasing them around doesn’t make them like us. If you would like to have more friends don’t chase them into a round pen with your quad and then chase them some more around the pen. If a horse goes into a trailer, it doesn’t necessarily mean their ready to even have the door closed behind them let alone be hauled anywhere. We need to read what the horse is saying and work towards build his confidence, respect and understanding. We personally have to have confidence, respect and understanding to be able to help the horse with theirs. If your horse pulls back when tied or when you are handling him, you have to answer the “why” first. Remember, it is the release that teaches the horse. So, do you release for the wrong things at the wrong time making or teaching by accident the very things you don’t want? When you ask your horse forward on a line and his head goes up, or when you get to the trailer and he pulls you across the yard or rears up, do you usually release all pressure from the horse making it comfortable for him to do the wrong thing? Instead, you should make the wrong thing uncomfortable and the right thing comfortable. If I had a dollar for every time I have seen people release the pressure and make the wrong thing easy for the horse, I would have a nice place in Costa Rica on the beach. If I read the situation incorrectly and/ or release for the wrong things at the wrong time, and I do it regularly, I’m promising through consistency to my horse, he can keep doing what it is he’s doing, and I will make it comfortable for him to continue doing it. Whatever we do consistently with a horse is our way of promising them everything is okay. They don’t speak English, so our way of doing things becomes our promise to the horse. If we change for a better way, we need to keep the new promise for a while, maybe a long while, before they will trust in the new promise. If we slip back to the old way and release for the wrong thing, or read the situation incorrectly, or trailer them when they are not prepared then we lose what we were gaining. Therefore, we would be causing them to be less confident, respectful and understanding. Make some good promises to your horse. Keep those promises as much as you possibly know how and then be ready to be amazed at the horse that shows up. Getting down the trail. Glenn Stewart

I work at keeping three promises when I work with my horses: 1) building their confidence; 2) earning their respect; and 3) doing things in a manner they understand. That might sound straightforward but there is so much that goes into keeping those promises. Every time I’m with a horse I ask myself if I’m keeping one or more of those three promises and helping the horse. In order to help, I have to correctly read what is going on with the horse. I have to know why is he doing or not doing something before I can possibly know how to help. If I read the “why” incorrectly then I don’t know whether he needs help with his confidence, respect or understanding. If I guess the “why” correctly, I now have a chance to be able to have the feel, timing and exercises that will help the situation.
I don’t think man nor beast likes to be promised anything unless they are going to get it. Don’t even mention it then if it happens, it can be a nice or not nice surprise. Some promises are easy to keep. I promise to drive you to town. I promise to mow the lawn. I promise to always do the right thing when I’m with my horse. Now the last one is a challenge to say the least. It would be a very noble and amazing feat to keep that promise.
Be a promise keeper, and help your horse says Glenn

“The main window for purchasing canola seed begins in the fall (September) and carries on throughout the winter and into the early spring months (May),” says Ryan Furtas, market analyst with Alberta Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Economic Development. “Highly sought after genetic packages such as disease resistance traits, high yielding or regionally strong performing varieties tend to go quickly, so booking and purchasing early is the only way to guarantee supply for following year.”Over the past 5 years, the 9-month canola seed price average (September to May) has increased for Alberta’s most popular canola brands. Round Up Ready (RR) increased by 84 cents to $13.41/lb and Liberty Link (LL) increased by 82 cents to $15.08/lb. RR and LL herbicide tolerant systems represent more than 95% of Alberta seeded canola“Whenacres.looking at the annual per cent change for Alberta canola seed prices, the Liberty Link price increase amounts to 5.72% and Round Up Ready increased by 6.7% in 2022 compared to 2021. Upward annual price change (increases) for canola seed has been an ongoing trend for some time.” Based on the average yearly price, a farmer seeding canola at 5 pounds per acre incurred a per acre seed cost of $67 to $75 depending on herbicide system. Canola seed is the second highest operating expense behind only fertilizer, which spiked higher into the $200 per canola acre range, and slightly ahead of pesticide applications that can vary, but are generally in the $45 to $50 per canola acre range for 2022. “Strong market prices in recent years have helped support canola’s profitability as a cash crop but the seed cost portion is much higher when compared to planting cereals,” explains Furtas. “2022 will go down as the most expensive crop planted for Alberta farmers to date. Seed prices increased at a significant rate but only modestly contributed to 2022 record input costs.” seed costs

“This announcement is significant and purposeful for Canadian pork producers. We welcome the government’s investment towards keeping ASF out of our country and of our farms. We have seen the negative impact of ASF in other parts of the world which demonstrates the need for this collaboration between government and our sector,” opined Rick Bergman, Chair of the Canadian Pork Council“Prevention is key to avoid the entry of ASF, but preparedness will allow the pork industry to reduce the impact of the disease for a quicker recovery. This funding will provide industry and government with further resources to continue the development of the ASF Canadian action plan and be prepared for a potential outbreak,” added Chris White, President and CEO, Canadian Meat Council. $45.3 million to enhance African swine fever prevention

Canada is recognized internationally as having strong programs in place to prevent and control the spread of foreign animal diseases into and within the country. Through close collaboration with domestic and international partners, the Government will continue to take a leadership role in preventing and mitigating the potential impact of ASF, should it ever be introduced into the country.
$45.3 million has been announced to enhance efforts to prevent African swine fever (ASF) from entering Canada and prepare for a potential outbreak. The funding will be critical in reducing the risk of introduction and spread of ASF in Canada. ASF is a fatal swine disease that spreads through both direct and indirect contact with infected pigs, pork, and pork by-products. Preventing the spread of ASF into Canada requires a collaborative approach to protect Canada’s pork industry, while helping the industry prepare for a timely and coordinated response to limit the potential impact of an outbreak.Tohelp ensure high levels of vigilance in the face of the threat of African swine fever, the Government of Canada is investing up to $23.4 million to support the pork industry’s prevention and mitigation efforts. This funding is intended to support critical priorities for preparedness, such as biosecurity assessments, coordination for wild pig management, retrofit of existing abattoirs, sector analysis and ASF-related research projects. Program details are being developed and the program will be launched as soon as possible.Inaddition, up to $19.8 million will be invested in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) prevention and preparedness efforts. This is intended to support work such as further enhancing laboratory capacity, establish zoning arrangements with additional trading partners, and contributing to international efforts to develop a safe and effective ASF vaccine that meets the needs of CanadianAlthoughfarms.Canada has never had a case of ASF, the disease continues to spread in several regions around the world. A single case of ASF in Canada would immediately result in the closure of Canada’s borders to pork exports, which accounts for 70% of Canadian pork production. With up to $2.1 million in funding dedicated to enhancing the Canada Border Services Agency’s (CBSA) border control activities, the Government of Canada intends to support measures that continue to prevent the entry of high-risk pork and pork products by enhancing public awareness, improving commercial targeting, and developing training for border services officers.
