Police coming to Pouce Coupe?

Your

Northern Horizon

The Village of Pouce Coupe and the Dawson Creek RCMP are working together to explore the option of establishing an RCMP community policing office in Pouce Coupe.

Team

Dan PRZYBYLSKI Sales Manager 250-782-4888 ext 114 (office) 250-784-4319 (cell) horizon@dcdn.ca

Staff Sergeant Damon Werrell said he is working on a business case for such a proposal.

“I am hopeful for the summer, at the very least I would like to have the office up and running this calendar year.”

Janis KMET BC Sales 250-782-4888 ext 104 (office) 250-219-0369 (cell) jkmet@dcdn.ca

One of the requirements is space.

The Village of Pouce Coupe

at last Tuesday’s budget meeting indicated they could make an office in the Fire Hall, moving the Fire Chief upstairs.

They motioned to send a letter of support to the Staff Sergeant, saying there is space for an officer.

“We would have community policing out here, full time,” said Mayor Lorraine Michetti.

“They would deal with the rural area, too, no cost to us.”

Michetti said she has been working with Werrell since December on the idea.

Council noted that with proposed cutbacks in Dawson

Creek policing, getting an officer in Pouce is all the more important.

“This is an incredible opportunity,” said Councillor Ken Drover.

Werrell does note there are costs associated — LAN installation, computer station to name a few — and that it would be up to the Province to authorize the community policing plan — there’s no guarantee. While he has a timeline he hopes for, he can’t speak to how long it would take the Province to approve or decline such a plan. reporter@dcdn.ca

Employment in Alberta’s agri-food industries in 2018

Breakfast Brief WHAT THE MARCH WASDE REPORT DIDN’T DO (March 11, 2019) Grain prices this morning are mostly lower after the March WASDE report came and went without much reaction from an already-bearish grain market. Most of the numbers that the USDA produced were either pretty close to their February WASDE number, or the pre-report estimate.

ore than 75,000 people were employed in Alberta’s agri-food industries last year. Jean Marie Uwizeyimana, agri-food statistician with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, breaks down the numbers and looks at some trends.

Uwizeyimana says that the 75,600 people employed in agrifood industries in 2018 was 0.7 per cent higher than in 2017.

There wasn’t much changed on the balance sheet for wheat in the March WASDE report, albeit US 2018/19 wheat exports were lowered by about 3% (or about 1 MMT) from their February estimate to 26.2 MMT. This included HRS wheat exports being felled by 680,000 MT (or more than 8%) to 7.48 MMT and white wheat exports (both soft and hard varieties) getting lowered by 272,000 MT (or about 4.5%) to 5.72 MMT. Performance-wise, for the week, Chicago SRW wheat prices lost 15-16¢ (or 3.2% – 3.9%), Kansas City HRW wheat prices dropped 9-14¢ (1.8% – 3.1%), and Minneapolis was down 6-9¢ (1% – 1.6%). Most of these losses were realized earlier in the week though. This is because, despite the WASDE report being mostly categorized as bearish, and given the short position that speculators have been building up, it didn’t seem like there was much room to go lower.

WASDE Report Kicks Soybean Prices Given some of the record soybean processing volumes we’ve seen the last few months, it was no surprise to the market that the USDA increased U.S. domestic crush by 10 million bushels.

However, the market is still a bit confused by the expectation from the USDA that U.S. soybean exports, which were stayed at 1.875 billion bushels. This would be a 12% decline year-over-year.

Compared to last Thursday’s USDA exports report, soybean exports are tracking 31.5% below last year’s pace. Not a ton of surprise that soybean prices fell about 15-16¢ USD/bushel on the Chicago board last week.

“Employment in food and beverage manufacturing industry was significantly higher in 2018, increasing by 14.3 per cent to 26,200 people. Additionally, 2018 featured the highest year-over-year percentage growth among all industries.

However, employment dropped 5.4 per cent to 49,300 in primary agriculture, following previous trends.”

In South America, the USDA lowered the Brazilian soybean harvest by 500,000 MT to 116.5 MMT. The market was expecting 115.7 MMT though, a number that’s more in line with the 114 – 115 MMT that many private forecasts have on their balance sheet. Good weather in Brazil has helped accelerate the soybean harvest, as well as make transportation actually possible.

More specifically, Brazil’s BR-163 highway was opened back up late last week after being shut down for being “unnavigable” earlier in the week.

“It is also important to highlight that food and beverage manufacturing remains Alberta’s largest manufacturing industry in terms of employment, accounting for 20.3 per cent of the provincial total manufacturing workforce in 2018,” he adds.

In neighbouring Argentina, the USDA kept the soybean harvest there at 55 MMT. While this is a significant rebound from last crop year’s drought-riddled soybean harvest of 37.8 MMT, it might not be enough to reignite the country’s processing capacity, which is currently forecasted to be operating at about 50%.

Why? Thanks to the trade war between the U.S. and China, it’s been more lucrative for Argentina soybean players to export the raw product, versus processing it. Case in point, Reuters reports that Argentine soybean exports should reach 16 MMT this crop year, up from the usual 10.5 MMT. Conversely, exports of soy by-products (soy oil and soymeal) should fall to 35 MMT from the 42.5 MMT normally shipped out. Most of the increase in Argentina’s soybean exports are attributed to China. The Ministry of Agriculture there said they have raised their soybean import expectations as they are expecting a shortage of rapeseed meal. As mentioned last week, the political impact on canola prices has been very real as the Canadian oilseed has lost about $25 CAD/MT in the last 2 weeks of trading.

Uwizeyimana notes that there are many factors behind the declining numbers of workers employed in primary agriculture, including the adoption of new technologies and industry mechanization.

March WASDE Report Pressures Corn Prices Coming back to the WASDE report, for me, corn markets saw the most surprising changes.

U.S 2018/19 ending stocks were raised 100 million bushels thanks to exports being reduced by 75 million bushels and ethanol demand by 25 million bushels. The reduction in exports is especially surprising considering that, before the March WASDE numbers came out, I mentioned in last Friday’s FarmLead Breakfast Brief, that US corn exports are tracking nearly 40% higher year-over-year. As Argentina and Brazil are expected to harvest 46 MMT and 94.5 MMT of corn respectively, it seems that the USDA is expecting U.S. corn to start losing market share over the next few months.

This aligns with the USDA’s newest exports estimate for U.S. corn, as they’re calling for exports to drop 2.6% year-over-year to 2.375 billion bushels. A bit confusing, no? This sort of bearish expectation from the USDA in mind, 2018/19 old crop corn prices on the futures board in Chicago lost 7-8¢ USD/bushel for the week, with the May 2019 contract closing at $3.643.

The new crop December 2019 contract is now firmly below the psychologically-significant $4, closing this week down almost 6¢ to $3.885.

If you’re already reading between the lines, this month’s WASDE report didn’t help grain prices get out of its current rut. With the market quite oversold (read: sitting in a net-short position), the fundamentals are seemingly continuing to defer to any action between China and the US in terms of a trade war deal finally getting done.

Is this level of bearishness though the contrarian indicator that we’ve been looking for though to get grain prices going back up? Should that happen, myself and at least Brian Doherty of Top Farmer thinks that those opportunities will be short-lived. This is especially true for corn prices as the best marketing opportunities of the last 5 years haven’t lasted for more than a few weeks.

“In the early 1990s, more than 90,000 people worked in primary agriculture alone in Alberta. Today, that number is below 50,000 workers, but the industry is still doing well as measured by the gross domestic product (GDP). The GDP for agriculture in the province has more than doubled over the last decade, increasing from $2.5 billion in 1997 to $5.2 billion in 2017. The advancement of technology has enabled the agriculture industry to grow, be more productive, and less dependent on manual labour.”

Alberta’s agri-food industries employed 22,400 women in 2018.

Says Uwizeyimana, “They accounted for roughly one third of agrifood employment, while nationally the proportion was 35.4 per cent.”

“Due to the nature of the work involved, food and beverage manufacturing industry usually has a higher proportion of women than the primary agriculture,” explains Uwizeyimana. “For instance, women accounted for 36.1 per cent of Alberta’s food and beverage manufacturing employment in 2018, while they occupied 26.2 per cent of employment in the primary agriculture industry.”

All prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne Market Comments - Wheat and barley have firmed considerably across the prairies. Factors impacting include some wheat export, and road ban season coming up. Proteins have been fairly flat, softening a bit. Feed peas have remained in the range of $275-285 although offers are getting easier to come by and I believe this market is starting to soften.

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.

“Lack of soil moisture for crop establishment and yield will be an issue in these areas,” Farmers Edge agricultural meteorologist Andrew Nadler says.

Saskatchewan Lerner sees central and southwest parts of Saskatchewan as particularly dry, but some areas northwest and far northeast with abundant ground moisture.

Earlier this month, Saskatchewan’s Water Security Agency released a spring runoff outlook calling for below normal spring runoff across southern Saskatchewan.

Manitoba’s 2018 fall soil moisture survey results showed wet surfaces at most locations, but that the full soil profile was 80 to 100 per cent of water holding capacity in two-thirds of agro-Manitoba, and only 20 to 40 per cent in areas close to the Red River.

Be proactive with clubroot management Don’t wait for dead patches The Canola Council of Canada says early detection is important.

A healthy looking plant on the surface could have galls on the roots, releasing billions of clubroot spores into the soil.

If found at an early stage, a disease management plan is much easier to implement, CCC states.

Check spreading patches of stunted or dying plants, likely at the main and secondary field entrances, as well areas near grain bins, power lines, pipelines and oil sites.

Clubroot spores can also be found in lower areas of the field where moisture accumulates.

Managing small patches of clubroot Bruce Gossen, a plant pathologist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, tells growers to pull out infected plants and burn the roots.

“Often the initial patch of dead and dying plants is the size of a big dining room table,” Gossen says.

“That is a size and situation where you can actually do something.”

Mark out at least twice the size of the affected area in every direction using GPS, he says. Keep all

traffic away from the area to prevent soil movement within the field and to other fields.

Gossen says applying lime to the soil can be effective, based on research conducted by the University of Alberta in collaboration with Alberta Agriculture.

“It is also enormously expensive, so you can’t afford to do it on a large scale, but on a small patch, perhaps it makes economic sense,” Gossen says.

Seeding the patch to a perennial grass is a good alternative because its extensive root system stimulates clubroot spores and serves to drive down their numbers in the soil. Weed control will be required until soil surveys indicate spore levels are low or zero. After that occurs, Gossen says growers should only seed clubroot-resistant cultivars.

Getting the message out

“It is important to remember that just because clubroot has not been detected in an RM to date, that does not mean it is not there,” Ziesman says. “Based on the map, the area with increased clubroot risk includes the entire northern agricultural region.”

SaskCanola Chair Lane Stockbrugger says the clubroot map is a useful tool and should lead to more extensive field scouting by growers this year. Prevention also remains a key priority.

Clubroot risks are high this year across the Prairies. Be on full alert for scouting, disease prevention and management. Tweet this

“A three-year crop rotation is ideal,” Stockbrugger says. “Look at seeding clubroot resistant varieties and try to minimize soil movement with the field and definitely between fields.”

Bottom line Clubroot is present in all three Prairie provinces. Experts recommend producers go on the offense and take steps such as implementing three-year crop rotations and seeding perennial grasses. The disease is easier to manage in the early stages, so check out suspicious plants and even do random checks.

Article by: Neil Billinger

Saskatchewan plant disease specialist Barb Ziesman says a recently released clubroot map illustrates an estimation of provincial disease spread. Visible clubroot symptoms were confirmed in 43 commercial canola fields in 14 rural municipalities across northern and central Saskatchewan.

The Northern Horizon, March 15, 2019

Canola market feels the winter blues

Large Canadian canola supplies, a turn lower in global vegetable oil markets and the advancing South American soybean harvest all contributed to the price weakness in canola. As well, speculative fund traders added to their net short positions in canola futures as sellstops are triggered on the way down.

Improved crush margins About the only positive for the canola market right now is the Canadian dollar slipping back below US$0.76, which improves crush margins.

The loonie seems to be falling back in sync with a pullback in crude oil prices.

As we also see with United States wheat futures, our canola market appears technically oversold on price charts in this steady drip into fresh contract lows. There seems little at work to help pull the market out of its current funk.

A small break below trendline chart support suggests the $475 per tonne level

is now in focus on the nearby May canola futures chart. $475 to $470 would be key longer-term levels to watch if we continue the rotation lower.

This is likely where the May contract is destined to test - just like the March, January and November 2018 contracts before it - as deferred futures established a clear pattern of losing market carry as they evolve towards cash month status.

Canola charts do not look encouraging right now as futures continue to languish at the bottom of a longerterm sideways price range on the weekly chart.

Spillover support from U.S.-China trade talks Certainly, a sympathy spark from the U.S. soybean com-

plex on any positive U.S.-China trade talks could lend spillover support. That could bring the potential to rally canola futures $10 to $15 a tonne at any time. Canola seasonals tend to turn positive sometime in the March to early June period, which offers some modest hope for late winter or early spring outlook.

Upside price aspirations remain dampened by the fact that oilseed supplies in both Canada and the United States remain more than sufficient to meet current demand.

ICE canola futures rode a slippery slope lower in February, hitting fresh contract lows. There is no immediate relief in sight.

As a result, it is likely that EU rapeseed production will be at a multi-year low and a crop deficit is likely to grow. This suggests an increased need for importing rapeseed into the EU in 2019-2020.

Bottom line Global oilseed supplies remain abundant, which limits price rallies to only shallow, short-term gains.

With spring approaching, many landlords and tenants are reviewing their crop land rental arrangements to see whether they are fair and reasonable. Dean Dyck, farm business management specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF), looks at determining an equitable rate.

“Often, people use what others are charging or paying in the local area,” says Dyck. “Following this approach has pitfalls because the rate may not be reflective of the soil productivity on the farm, or there may be a difference between what was rumoured and what was actually paid.”

Ultimately, land rental agreements are pivotal to a producer’s success, particularly as changes in prices and yields from year-to-year affect profit and the renter’s ability to pay.

In Alberta, cash rent and crop share are the two predominant crop land rental arrangements. Cash rental is common because the lease is simple, the rent is fixed, and the landowner does not have to make any operating or marketing decisions. The tenant has more control over cropping decisions, and can benefit from higher profits. A useful method to estimate a cash rent is called a “crop share equivalent” or the rental rate that would be received from a typical 75:25 crop share lease. Computing the rate using this method requires estimates of long-term average yields in the area and realistic prices for the coming year.

“A suggestion is to use Crop Insurance yields and insurable prices. Then apply a discount of 25 per cent for variability in weather, yields, and prices since the tenant is assuming all of these risks,” says Dyck. The formula: (yield x 25 per cent) x price x 75 per cent. Complete this calculation for at least four major crops grown in the area and take the average.

Another simple method is a percentage of gross returns. Compare cash rents in your area over the past five-to-ten years against gross returns of the crops that were grown. In many areas, cash rent is approximately 20 to 24 per cent of gross returns.

Crop share rentals are becoming less common because many landowners do not want to take the risk of price or yield. These leases are typically 75 per cent tenant, 25 per cent landlord. If fertilizer and chemicals are shared, then the lease shifts to 66 per cent tenant, 33 per cent landlord.

Dyck says that the general rule is to calculate, then negotiate. “Tenants should know their cost of production and calculate the potential profit before establishing a fair price. While money plays a role, other factors will come into the negotiations such as land quality, location, compatibility, communications, and honesty.”

“Once a price and terms have been agreed, the most important thing you can do is put the agreement in writing,” says Dyck. “This single act would eliminate the majority of disagreements that occur.”

Wildfire operations prepare for 2019 season Alberta’s wildfire season officially runs from March 1 to Oct. 31.

Across the province’s forest areas, firefighters, equipment and aircraft are being put in place as part of Alberta’s commitment to wildfire response.

“Protecting Albertans and their communities from the dangers of wildfires is our highest priority, but wildfire prevention is a shared responsibility. More than half our wildfires are human-caused. Getting a permit, following any fire bans or restrictions and burning responsibly are simple ways we can all do our part to prevent wildfires.”

Oneil Carlier, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry As of March 1, fire permits are

required for any burning, except campfires, in the Forest Protection Area of Alberta. Fire permits let firefighters know exactly where planned burning is being done.

Permits also help prevent false calls, which ensures firefighters are available for real wildfire response. Fire permits are free and can be requested from any Agriculture and Forestry office.

Quick facts Last fire season, 1,288 wildfires burned more than 59,800 hectares in Alberta.

More than 60 per cent (777) of 2018’s wildfires were humancaused.

If you see a wildfire burning in the forest, report it toll-free at 310FIRE (3473).

14 The Northern Horizon, March 15, 2019

Determining a reasonable crop land rental rate With spring approaching, many landlords and tenants are reviewing their crop land rental arrangements to see whether they are fair and reasonable. Dean Dyck, farm business management specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF), looks at determining an equitable rate.

“Often, people use what others are charging or paying in the local area,” says Dyck. “Following this approach has pitfalls because the rate may not be reflective of the soil productivity on the farm, or there may be a difference between what was rumoured and what was actually paid.”

Ultimately, land rental agreements are pivotal to a producer’s success, particularly as changes in prices and yields from year-to-year affect profit and the renter’s ability to pay.

In Alberta, cash rent and crop share are the two predominant crop land rental arrangements. Cash rental is common because the lease is simple, the rent is fixed, and the landowner does not have to make any operating or marketing decisions. The tenant has more control over cropping decisions, and can benefit from higher profits. A useful method to estimate a cash rent is called a “crop share equivalent” or the rental rate that would be received from a typical 75:25 crop share lease. Computing the rate using this method requires estimates of long-term average yields in the area and realistic prices for the

coming year.

cent landlord.

“A suggestion is to use Crop Insurance yields and insurable prices. Then apply a discount of 25 per cent for variability in weather, yields, and prices since the tenant is assuming all of these risks,” says Dyck. The formula: (yield x 25 per cent) x price x 75 per cent. Complete this calculation for at least four major crops grown in the area and take the average.

Dyck says that the general rule is to calculate, then negotiate. “Tenants should know their cost of production and calculate the potential profit before establishing a fair price. While money plays a role, other factors will come into the negotiations such as land quality, location, compatibility, communications, and honesty.”

Another simple method is a percentage of gross returns. Compare cash rents in your area over the past five-to-ten years against gross returns of the crops that were grown. In many areas, cash rent is approximately 20 to 24 per cent of gross returns.

Crop share rentals are becoming less common because many landowners do not want to take the risk of price or yield. These leases are typically 75 per cent tenant, 25 per cent landlord. If fertilizer and chemicals are shared, then the lease shifts to 66 per cent tenant, 33 per

“Once a price and terms have been agreed, the most important thing you can do is put the agreement in writing,” says Dyck. “This single act would eliminate the majority of disagreements that occur.”

More information on establishing, negotiating, and writing a land lease is available for purchase via AF’s comprehensive guide, Leasing Cropland in Alberta, or by calling the Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

Take Care of Your Horsemanship and It Will Take Care of You I‘m feeling very grateful and I think it’s important to find time everyday to reflect on what we can be grateful for. Granted, some days are easier than others but there is always something. It’s January 15th and I’m sitting by the pool in Playa Negra trying to stay out of the sun for awhile. Two days ago I was shovelling snow off the roof slipped and fell 9 ft. onto a concrete pad. I’m dragging my leg around and nothing from my hip down on the left side is working.

My ribs hurt, my elbow is missing some hide, tweaked my neck, leg swelled up, sprained two fingers but I’m super happy to be in one piece. Before I left a friend said, “awwww too bad, right before you go too Costa Rica”. At the same time I was thinking how fantastic, I can heal up on the beach I have two days before I have to start riding and teaching. Not to mention,

I landed on my side and not on my elbow, knee, back, head. Super grateful to be walking at all.

What does that have to do with Horsemanship? Everything really.

I’m here because I was interested in improving my horsemanship.

I had no plans other than to get better with horses and improve my skills and knowledge. Horses were always something I did when I wasn’t working. They were my entertainment, my holiday, and my fun. A long time ago I was told to take care of my horsemanship and it would take care of me. I wasn’t sure what that meant but I sure do now. Along that journey that I’m still on I became addicted to the learning and the challenge to improve in all areas in order to be better for the horses. In the end this benefits me in all areas of my life.

Taking care of your horsemanship for some might mean they can’t ride that horse they’ve owned for 10 years, but can feed, get hooves trimmed and pay the vet bills. It might mean they can ride, get out of their corral, arena or yard. It might mean they can fix the trailer loading, saddling, catching, spooking, bucking, rearing, biting, ear pinning problem they have.

For some it means they can finally go for a trail ride. Maybe it means they can ride horses other than their own. Maybe they’ve learned enough to own their own horse or horses. Possibly we are far enough along in our horsemanship that we are able to go on adventure trips and not be worried about the horse we are given. Maybe we can go and start our own horse in another country and then take it on a trek.

Maybe we can prepare everyone’s horse for the trek before they arrive. It might mean we are able to go on adventure holidays all over the world and experience what other breeds and countries have to offer and see what we can learn. If we take care of our horsemanship enough maybe we can be paid to travel the world doing horsemanship adventure holidays.

One thing is for certain, improving our horsemanship has proven over and over to open doors I didn’t know were closed and presented opportunities I didn’t know were possible. At a bare minimum, improving our horsemanship is for sure allowing us more fun and to be safer. It has done far more than that for me and I’ve seen it do much more than that for many others as well. You won’t go wrong working on your horsemanship.

On the other side of the coin I

hear from and see people that have been around horses for 10/15/20/40 years and they’re having the same problems and worries they had the first year. They talk about bucket lists and wishing they could do this or that. Well, you don’t want to be the one that misses out on all the amazing opportunities and the doors that open. All that is required is to put some effort into our horsemanship.

Years ago I took a quality horsemanship clinic to gain some more knowledge and have some fun. 20 years later I’m still learning but now travelling the world teaching.

Brazil in November, Costa Rica in January, U.S. and Austria in May, the Rocky Mountains in July are a few of the trips in 2019. Horsemanship has taken me places I couldn’t imagine. Let it do the same for you.

Take care of your horsemanship and let it take care of you.

Cheers, Glenn Stewart What is your dream with horse?

Whatever your dream may be, if you have the horsemanship, you can live the dream. It’s just that simple. Join us The Horse Ranch this summer and live the dream!

Those senior pet needs and veterinary considerations By: Dr. Katrina Barth As the new puppy you got only last year grows and thrives, years of companionship fun run by! Unfortunately in a mere heartbeat, it seems like Fluffy is no longer that spry, frisky pup looking to get into everything and anything, and is now an old, senior gal. Senior pets are considered ‘geriatric’, after they reach seven years of age; although mildly variable between breeds: a 7 year old dog in human years is 46 for small breeds and 57 for large breeds, and 51 for felines. The first signs of aging in a middle-aged furry friend might be creaky or painful arthritic joints, mild vision/hearing loss, but they might also be experiencing heart, kidney, thyroid or other organ disease. Some organs can be more susceptible or damaged in the aging process and these pets will enter a life stage where they aren’t so nimble. It is helpful to consider some reasons for extra care for these geriatric pets and below are some recommendations to ensure a high quality of life until the very end.

Many clients are highly concerned about potential risks of anesthesia and putting their old pet “under”—often times avoiding all treatments that may require it: for example a dental surgery with teeth extractions. Although, any anesthetic procedure comes with risks, veterinary anesthesia practice is significantly advanced, even over the last 10 years with current safer anesthetic gases and medicines, constant monitoring (blood pressure; vital parameter measurements), fluid therapy and pre/post-

operative pain relief to ensure comfort. These protocols follow a high standard of practice, with surgery performed with special attention to each individual pet.

The decision to pursue certain surgeries or advanced treatment when a pet is “so old” has many folks wondering whether or not it is worth it. Many advanced procedures, such as dental surgery, orthopedic or mass removal surgeries, can often provide cures for painful conditions negatively impacting a geriatric animal’s life quality. An informed client and collaboration with your veterinarian can ensure your pet is free of discomfort. However, as a veterinarian, we can only guide how the medicine may affect their pet and the real difficulty exists in not knowing what is right or wrong in these emotionally-laden situations, especially given the years of devotion and companionship our pets have shown. A few questions can be asked to oneself whether or not to pursue medical attention for geriatrics.

Will this surgery/treatment give the patient the potential for a high quality life? If the treatment only prolongs their life for weeks, or additional more expensive chronic treatments will be required later, the decision may need to be adjusted. As a veterinarian, we carefully review the advantages/disadvantages to each treatment, giving a range of options. Are there particular after-care requirements for this surgery/treatment? Older pets may have difficulty bouncing back and often times need extra care/ medications at more frequent intervals. Before agreeing to surgery/treatment, these requirements need to be known and considered. Finally, sometimes the ideal, successful outcome requires referral to a specialty hospital, are you willing to go to distant facilities and expenditure?

Generally speaking, a yearly examination will aid your pet in receiving the best medical care to ensure their health is maintained. This can serve as an avenue to catch, or prevent disease, in the acute stage or treat in the chronic stage.

Often times, routine bloodwork and urinalysis is recommended with pets over 7 years of age, and may identify any problems that may not necessary be causing symptoms (checking liver, kidney and other organ function)— if all is clear, great! A baseline of your pets normal values is recorded, so if they ever become ill, we know what their normal variations are. Chest and abdominal radiographs may also be recommended to screen for disease and assess heart health if a murmur is present. Seek out veterinary attention for any of the following situations: excessive weight loss, excessive urination/water consumption, changes in appetite, vomiting/ diarrhea, persistent coughing, collapse/bouts of weakness, or sudden non-weight bearing lameness. Early recognition of disease can allow for early treatment. By embracing our pets’ senior years and adapting to make sure their new needs are met, we can help them to live long and comfortable lives!

Finally, the greatest difficulty with any companion is knowing when to say goodbye. At times of suffering or vastly decreased quality of life, humane euthanasia should be considered.

To be able to relieve animal suffering, including pain and discomfort, is a true gift— veterinarians can be a great resource in discussing this incredibly difficult decision and offer options with at-home euthanasia. March is senior animal health month at Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic, and we hope these special considerations will aid you in providing the best possible care for you furry senior friends!

Northern B.C. MLA calls for glyphosate ban in B.C. forests Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris is working on a private-members bill to ban the use of a controversial chemical on provincial forests.

Morris is targeting herbicides containing glyphosate, which forest companies use to kill aspen and other broadleaf plants in areas that have been logged and replanted with trees of commercial value.

Their use creates troublesome side effects, according to Morris.

“The concern I have is that it kills all the deciduous growth in a forest that is supposed to support more than just conifer trees,” he said. “It kills the grasses and the blueberries and the roses and all the other things that animals live on and it affects the food supply right from your mice and your insects all the way up to ungulates, like your moose. That’s where my concern is.”

He said society needs to “turn the corner” from treating forests as a source of industrial activity and instead acknowledge their biological diversity that support a wide variety of flora and fauna.

“To look at it solely as a mechanism to grow a tree I think is excluding a lot of the value added proposition we have in B.C.,” Morris said. “We have some of the most biologically diverse areas in North America and I think we’re destroying it.”

Morris believes part of the trouble B.C. has had with forest fires is due to the abundance of conifers and the lack of a mixed forest, noting that some say deciduous species like aspen have helped mitigate the blazes.

He said glyphosate should still be used to deal with invasive species and clearing rights of ways along transmission lines, highways and the like, and perhaps in agriculture.

Morris cautioned he wouldn’t do anything that wouldn’t be supported by the entire B.C. Liberal caucus and has been working Nechako Lakes MLA and forestry critic John Rustad on the bill.

Rustad said he also would like to see a ban in place but added a process for ending its use needs to be put in place, as well as determining ways that will allow “timely and effective reforestation.”

Both Morris and Rustad suggested mechanical brushing as a possibility.

“It would mean going back in three or four times to bring the same impact as the chemical,” Rustad said. “That can be done but obviously there is a cost structure, there is potential delay in regeneration so those issues just need to be worked through.”

Whether the governing NDP would support the bill is also a question. When Green Party leader Andrew Weaver raised the issue in the legislature late last year, Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development Minister Doug Donaldson said the province’s reforestation practices are “continually updated based on new scientific information.”

James Steidle, a vocal opponent of glyphosate behind the Stop the Spray campaign called Morris’ proposal “great news.”

“I also think it is important to point out this isn’t just about banning glyphosate, but allowing a higher percentage of broadleaf in our replanted forests,” Steidle said, adding that regulations limit the species to five per cent of a block.

“This should be raised to allow up to 15 to 20 per cent, which you don’t even need legislation to change,” he said and note that, in turn, would reduce the amount of brushing required.

Governments support BC Farmers dealing with income challenges

2018 was an extremely challenging year for many British Columbia producers who faced financial pressures as a result of significant production and market losses. The governments of Canada and British Columbia are working together to ensure producers make full use of support available through existing programs.

Today, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Marie-Claude Bibeau and British Columbia’s Minister of Agriculture Lana Popham announced they have triggered the late participation mechanism under the AgriStability program for the 2018 program year to help farmers access needed support to deal with income losses. This new feature, introduced under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, means hundreds of additional

farmers and ranchers from British Columbia will be eligible to join and benefit from the program. This feature can be triggered by governments in situations where there is a significant income decline in the farm sector and a gap in program participation.

This is in addition to assistance previously announced by governments in October 2018 under the AgriRecovery disaster framework that provided up to $5 million to help the province’s agriculture sector recover from the agricultural losses caused by the 2018 wildfires.

These fires consumed 1,300,000 hectares of land, surpassing the record damage caused in 2017.

Today’s announcement is part of Minister Bibeau’s first agricultural tour. Minister Bibeau is meeting with farmers, processors and industry leaders, as well as participating in local agricultural events, to highlight strategic federal agricultural investments and programs and how they will help to build an even stronger and more innovative sector for Canada.

The tour begins on March 11 in Vernon, British Columbia and ends on March 13 in Winnipeg, Manitoba with stops in Kelowna, British Columbia and Calgary, Alberta.

“Our Government recognizes that many B.C. farmers and ranchers are facing financial hardship caused by extreme weather events and poor market prices. The AgriStability late participation feature will help more farmers access the support they need to cope with income shortfalls. We encourage BC farmers to take full advantage of all available Business Risk Management programs, including AgriInvest and AgriInsurance,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food “BC ranchers and farmers work hard to support our province’s food supply and economy, and when they experience extreme hard-

ship such as the last two years, they need our help. Adjusting the AgriStability program to help more B.C. producers whose income declined in 2018, offers support to those farmers, the communities they are part of, and agriculture in BC,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture, British Columbia In 2018, British Columbia’s agricultural sector was impacted by several major production and market losses as a result of unprecedented spring flooding, forest fires which caused substantial damage to farms and farmland, and a dramatic decline in market prices for raspberries.

Talking fruits with the Government of Canada

Today, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Marie-Claude Bibeau and Member of Parliament for Kelowna-Lake Country Stephen Fuhr announced an investment of up to $4.2M under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, AgriScience Program to the British Columbia Fruit Growers’ Association. This funding will support the Association in developing innovative, commercially successful Canadian-bred apple and sweet cherry cultivars that enhance the profitability of Canada’s tree fruit sector.

This project, which builds on research funding received under the previous agricultural policy frameworks, consists of ten activities, with research and testing taking place in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

Today’s announcement is part of Minister

Bibeau’s first agricultural tour, where she is meeting with farmers, processors and industry leaders.

Quotes “As the fruit industry expands into new markets, producers will need to develop new varieties of products that grow in Canada’s diverse climate to ensure they can meet consumer demands here and around the world. Our Government is committed to ensuring the industry and our producers have the tools they need to succeed.”

- Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food “Tree fruits are vitally important to British Columbia’s agricultural sector, and BC processors know the importance of staying on the cutting edge. Through projects such as the one we announced today, our Government is ensuring our producers are able to keep up with demand and remain innovative.”

- Stephen Fuhr, Member of Parliament for Kelowna-Lake Country “Research enables change. The CAP funding provided for this project will help the industry develop and adopt the exciting new varieties

developed at Summerland Research and Development Centre. The funding includes a number of activities to improve yields and quality of apples and cherries as well as to test the new varieties in a range of climates across Canada. This research project will help growers increase profits and production. Thank you for the vision of the Minister of Agriculture and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and thank you to our industry funding partners and Summerland Varieties Corporation for their involvement and leadership in this important project.”

- Pinder Dhaliwal, President of the BC Fruit Growers’ Association Quick facts The British Columbia Fruit Growers’ Association is a non-profit industry association established in 1889 to support a prosperous, sustainable and innovative tree fruit sector.

The AgriScience Program aims to accelerate the pace of innovation by providing funding and support for pre-commercial science activities and cutting-edge research that benefits the agriculture and agri-food sector and Canadians.

The Canadian Agricultural Partnership is a five-year, $3 billion investment by federal, provincial and territorial governments to strengthen the agriculture and agri-food sector. The Partnership includes programs and activities to enhance the competitiveness of the sector through research, science and innovation.

Employment standards Overview Employment standards legislation sets minimum standards for hours of work, overtime, overtime pay, holidays and general holiday pay, vacations, vacation pay, minimum wage and employees under the age of 18.

Employment standards changes that apply to the agricultural sector came into effect Jan 1, 2018.

Farmers and ranchers were consulted through technical working groups to help government understand the unique aspects of the industry that need to be accommodated.

Who’s affected Employment standards will only apply to farms and ranches with waged, non-family employees.

Rules do not apply to: farm owners family members of farm owners non-employee relatives, friends and neighbours helping out children doing chores or participating in activities such as 4-H or helping neighbours and friends participating in recreational activities such as hunting on farmland Exemptions to employment standards The following special rules apply to waged, non-family workers as of Jan 1, 2018: Hours of work and overtime – farms and ranches are not subject to the current standards on hours of work and overtime due to the extended working hours required during harvest and seeding.

General holiday pay – will be based on 4.2% of the previous 4 weeks’ wages, vacation pay, and general holiday pay.

Rest periods – employees are entitled to 4

days of rest for every 28 days of work. Selection of the days of rest is at the employers discretion if the employer and employee can’t agree.

Employment standards The following rules apply to waged, non-family workers as of Jan 1, 2018: Minimum wage $13.60 per hour; increases to $15 per hour Oct 1, 2018 Unpaid, job-protected leaves after 90 days of work maternity leave (16 weeks) parental leave (37 weeks) reservist leave (as needed) compassionate care leave (27 weeks) bereavement leave (3 days) domestic violence leave (10 days) citizenship ceremony leave (half day) critical illness of a child leave (36 weeks) long-term illness and injury leave (16 weeks) personal and family responsibility leave (5 days) death or disappearance of a child leave (52 weeks/104 weeks) Vacations and vacation pay 2 weeks of vacation after one year employment 3 weeks of vacation after 5 years 4% vacation pay up to 5 years of employment 6% vacation pay after 5 years Payment of earnings, employment records Individual and group termination notice and termination pay Administration and enforcement (e.g. permitting process, complaints, appeals) Family members Employment standards do not apply to family members of the owner or owner’s spouse, common-law partner or adult-interdependent

partner. Owner means a shareholder, sole proprietor or partner.

All of the following are considered family members: children, step-children parent, step-parent sibling, half-sibling, step-sibling grandparent, step-grandparent aunt, uncle, step-aunt or uncle niece, nephew first cousin Youth workers Alberta’s youth employment rules do not apply to farms and ranches.

Greenhouses, nurseries, mushroom and sod farms These operations are not considered farms under the Employment Standards Code, so regular rules apply.

We will consult with the industry to determine if special rules are required.

Cold weather aftermath and cattle Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre, offers feed suggestions for animals that have lost condition or dropped weight due to the cold weather.

“Animals that are kept outside – be they cattle, bison or horses – they all increase the amount of feed they consume during the cold weather,” explains Yaremcio. “This is to increase the amount of heat

that is generated during the digestion process to stay warm. Using beef cattle as an example, if temperatures drop below -20 C, feed intake can increase by 5 to 30 % compared to a warmer day.”

Because of the cold, Yaremcio says that some producers are noticing that their haystacks or silage pits are emptying a lot faster than what was expected. However, he says that producers have some op-

USED & RE-BEARINGED COMPLETE ENGINES AVAILABLE

tions even on limited feed supply.

“Cows in late pregnancy can be fed a certain amount of straw per day, which is no different than before the cold weather. “However, the straw cannot be the total increase in feed supplied because it is low in protein, high in fibre which reduces digestibility and rumen efficiency. Good quality hay and additional grain is needed as part of the additional feed supplied. Adding 2 lb. of grain per head per day at -30 C and 4 lb. of additional grain at -40 C is a good starting point.”

“Managing the protein content, calcium and phosphorus, magnesium, trace minerals and vitamins are all important to provide a balanced ration. If hay or silage supplies are very short, feeding roughly 10 lb. of straw per day to a lactating cow with the remainder being silage or hay along with at 10 to 15 lb. – or more – of grain per head per day may be necessary.

Grain feeding rates will depend on the quality of the other feeds and forages.”

Yaremcio says that after calving when including straw in the diet, it is critical to include sufficient amounts of protein. The ration should contain a minimum of 11 % protein on a dry matter basis.

Adding faba beans, peas, distillers grains or 32 % with Rumensin are all possibilities.

“Changing and adjusting the feeding program when including lower quality straw is critical. It is possible that calcium and magnesium levels will be low, creating a concern with downer cows or milk fevers.”

He adds to keep eye on the animal’s body condition score. “When a cow loses body condition score prior to calving, the energy avail-

ability the cow to produce milk after calving is reduced because there is less fat to mobilize off her back in addition to the feed that is providing them with energy.”

“If the cow can’t mobilize the extra fat to get energy to produce milk, peak milk production is going to go down. If you lose two pounds of milk production off the peak at eight weeks after calving, your loss of milk production over the entire length of that lactation period is going to be down that two pounds. It is not just the peak that is lost, but the two pounds all the way through.”

“If cows are losing weight between calving and when the bulls are turned out, it takes longer for the cows to start cycling and first service conception rates go down,” explains Yaremcio. “Therefore, you are either going to have a bunch of calves born later in the calving season next year, or that cow might be open and gets culled.”

Yaremcio says that bringing the cows back into condition will take a little more attention to details. “Get some extra help working through current rations. Or, use the CowBytes program and readjust them as soon as possible to allow the largest amount of time to regain condition before the breeding season begins. Feeding an extra two, three or four pounds of grain a day over above what is fed in warmer conditions is a starting point. The extra grain will help increase weight gains by about onehalf to three-quarters of a pound a day. That is over and above fetal and placenta growth for cows in late pregnancy and some weight gain for lactating cows.”

2019 Blue Book now available One of the most widely requested publications from Alberta Agriculture and Forestry is the Crop Protection publication, also known as the “Blue Book” in industry circles.

“An important part of the annual update includes newly registered pesticide products,” says Mark Cutts, co-editor of Crop Protection 2019 and crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “This year’s edition includes new additions to the four main pesticide types: herbicides, insecticides, seed treatments and foliar fungicides. In ad-

dition 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.”

“For 2019, there are new products registered for foliar fungicides, seed treatments and insecticides. These newly registered pesticide products will provide producers more control options on a variety of crops when managing insects and diseases.

“There are a couple of new herbicide products, but there are

many more minor changes to existing registrations,” adds Harry Brook, co-editor of the Blue Book and crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “The most significant change in herbicides this year is that quinclorac has an international maximum allowable residue level. It is in a number of products specifically to control cleavers in canola. Up until the fall of 2018, there was no recognized safe level and these herbicides could not be used in canola.”

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. By using this information, the risk of developing pesticide resistance can be reduced or at least delayed.

Avoid farm work-related fatigue this spring The nature of much of today’s precision farm work requires a high degree of alertness and the ability to react quickly in certain circumstances. With spring work and the go-time it brings, often farmers push themselves to get the maximum out of a day’s work.

Farm workers pushing their capabilities to the limits to increase production run the risk of serious injury due to fatigue. Turns out, fatigue is a major factor in causing farm-related injuries.

“Too many farmers push themselves, especially during the really busy times and long daylight hours,” says Kenda Lubeck, farm safety coordinator with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “Personal health and safety is a worker’s most valuable asset – nothing should come before.”

Fatigue is a mental or physical exhaustion that prevents a person from functioning normally and can

often times impair safe work performance. In addition to feeling sleepy and tired, some common symptoms of fatigue include: headaches, dizziness blurry vision slow reflexes and reactions poor concentration and judgement feeling irritable, moody and short tempered aching, weak muscles, impaired coordination “We typically see safety as being all about equipment and guards,” says Lubeck. “But, the most important safety tool a person can have is their attitude and subsequent decisions. That could mean taking a 15-minute break and stretch to refocus, having a drink of water and a quick bite to eat.”

Lubeck offers the following suggestions to ward off fatigue: Get adequate sleep. This means parking your worries at the bed-

room door and regularly getting a good night’s rest.

Eat nourishing food to keep your mind and body sharp.

Stay hydrated with plenty of water.

Incorporate some healthy activity in your day’s work. If you find yourself doing one continuous job for hours on end, be sure to stop periodically and go for a walk to stretch out your muscles.

Plan for physical and mental demands. It may mean adding workers to your team to alleviate the demands of spring farm work, keeping a promise to yourself that you will take a well-deserved break after a set amount of time and not making critical decisions while you are weary.

“Whether you operate a family farm, employ workers or are helping neighbours, preplanning will go a long way to preventing unforeseen injuries and costly repairs,”

she adds.

“Although the human factor is a significant cause of farm-related hazards, your safety is about the choices you make. It just takes a moment to make a decision that could literally be the difference between life and death.”

In response to the recent changes to the Occupational Health and Safety Code to include farms and ranches that employ waged, nonfamily workers, Alberta Labour is funding a farm health and safety producer grant that is administered by Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

Prevent youth farm-related injuries Growing up on a farm allows many young Albertans the chance to cultivate their love for agriculture. Raelyn Peterson, farm safety youth coordinator with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, shares why the North American Guidelines for Children’s Agricultural Tasks (NAGCAT) is a useful resource for parents, grandparents and caregivers.

“Children are often eager to work alongside of family members on the farm but parents and caregivers may find themselves wondering how to gauge when their child is truly ready,” says Peterson.

Matching a child’s physical and cognitive abilities with adequate training and supervision decreases the chance for a farming-related injury.

The NAGCAT is a reference pub-

lication outlining age-appropriate tasks and what training and supervision looks like for youth aged 7 to 16.

“The guidelines promote the use of hands-on training whenever possible, as this is often the most effective training method for children and youth,” she says.

Training typically involves youth first observing the task being performed while a parent explains the instructions, step-by-step. When the child can repeat the directions, the parent or trainer closely guides them through performing the task, watching and ready to correct mistakes.

“This training process is repeated as many times as required until the child or teen achieves success or the parent decides to wait until another time to try again,” Peter-

son adds.

Once the child has successfully demonstrated an ability to perform the task correctly, supervision is done in watch and check intervals.

“Watch and check means watching constantly at first, and then when the child or teen has shown they can do the job, checking in every few minutes,” says Peterson.

“Depending on the task, teens can often be left for upwards of 15 to 30 minutes at a time, but younger children require more frequent visual checks that they’re still doing okay.”

The NAGCAT guidelines reflect that training and supervision, paired with age-appropriate tasks and child readiness, are essential to preventing farm-related injuries in youth.

“Proper training covers more

than just knowing how to do the task one way,” adds Peterson. “It’s about doing the job safely each time, recognizing hazards, using protective safety gear, knowing what to do in an emergency and taking precautions to protect themselves and other people on the farm.”

Parents, caregivers, health or safety professionals and educators can obtain a free copy of the NAGCAT by contacting farm.safety@ gov.ab.ca.

Council grounds runway extension for now Dawson Creek City Council has decided not to commit to a grant for the airport runway extension project this year after all.

The BC Government’s BC Air Access Program Grant would have covered 75% of the cost of the project, now estimated at $7,293,714.50, but would have required the City to commit $1,823,428.62 in 2020’s budget.

Council had originally committed to the grant at the January 17 special meeting, but at the time, the project was estimated at $5.1 million and would have required a $1,275,000 commitment if the grant was successful. $1.6 million was in the reserve for the project, giving a bit of leeway.

But when the preliminary design report came to council at the February 25 meeting, it called for the nearly $7.3 million budget, which would have required Council to put away an extra $223,428.62 in the

2020 budget on top of what they had in they reserve.

And while not required by the grant itself, the City would have needed to put away $311,010 to put an asphalt overlay on the turning button, required work if the runway is extended, bringing the total additional costs to over $530K at least.

At the time, Council agreed to commit the extra money, with the caveat they could withdraw the grant application if costs continued to rise — there were still unknowns at the time, including zoning and a landowner beside.

Two weeks later, however, they changed their minds. At Monday’s council meeting, Mayor Dale Bumstead proposed that they reconsider the motion and rescind it, cancelling the grant application.

“I’m not opposed to the project, I’m opposed to the timing,” he said,

noting the City’s work on their fiscal future. “If we move forward with the airport runway extension and that grant, we’re locked in to that project and we’re locked into the operation of the airport in the long term future.

He noted he wanted to City to have its long term financial plan in place before committing to the project.

Much of council agreed with his stance.

“I’m not willing to leap without knowing what’s ahead,” said Councillor Jerimy Earl.

“I too support the airport,” said Councillor Blair Lekstrom. “But at some point, you have to say how many millions of dollars can we invest in this airport? Is it a commercial airport that we’re after? Or is it an airport that can allow for our industrial customers to bring in their staff? I think there’s a num-

ber of things we haven’t answered ourselves yet as a council.”

Councillor Charlie Parslow noted he was always against the project, saying it reminds him of the multiplex. “A $20-odd million project became a $60 million project.”

Councillor Paul Gevatkoff was the lone voice in support of proceeding with the project now, saying he is concerned the grant may not available when council does decide to proceed.

“I still feel the airport is critical to our economic development,” he said. “Our transportation infrastructure is critical.”

Council — with Gevatkoff voting against — agreed to rescind the motion. While they agreed to withdraw the grant application, the final design report is still forthcoming.

Check your winter burns “We typically see landowners burning as they try to clear woody debris off their land and turn it to agricultural purposes. We see windrows and machine piled brush piles that are burned in the winter,” says Mike Tucker, wildfire prevention officer with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

Anyone who has conducted winter burning outside of wildfire season needs to closely examine any extinguished winter burn piles.

“You need to physically inspect the pile and check for heat,” explains Tucker. “Take a metal rod or a stick, put it into the ash pile, pull it out, and feel for heat. If there is any heat, the pile is likely still burning. That pile will then need to be spread or dug up to ensure it is out.”

Those winter burn piles also need to be checked on a regular basis even if it seems to be out. “Every spring we will have a few fires pop up unexpectedly on land owners, start grassfires, and sometimes go into the trees. It is very important to be diligent after you have conducted winter burning,” says Tucker. A fire caused by a winter burn could result in charges, court

appearances, and fines.

Tucker offers some suggestions to set up burn areas more effectively, including encouraging landowners to use brush rakes on their machinery. “They significantly reduce the amount of dirt that is going into the windrows and piles.

Really dirty piles have a tendency to smoulder, not burn cleanly, and hold on for months after the fact.”

“The other consideration is the location of the debris pile. Don’t burn windrows on organic soils.

Debris needs to be moved to high clay-type soils to prevent the burn getting into the peat.”

For more information on winter burns, call toll-free 310-0000 to contact your local Alberta Agriculture and Forestry office and Alberta Wildfire.

Cropping plan considerations “Every year we have the challenge of finding profitable crops to grow. The first step in crop planning is determining the various costs of production,” says Harry Brook, crop specialist at the Alberta AgInfo Centre. “By knowing your total production costs, you can determine where the combination of crop yield and price becomes profitable.”

Brook says it is extremely important to select crops that are profitable and acceptable to both the producer and their banker. “Why grow something that guarantees a loss? Anyone can make money at $14 per bushel canola, but what about at $10 with a less than average yield? You can’t grow canola all the time. Once the production costs are all known, you can then use them as a tool to find cost savings without foregoing too much yield.”

With any new crop you try, Brook suggests to start small.

“Use the first year as a chance to learn the agronomics and particulars of the new crop.

When growing a niche or small acreage crop, it is imperative

to get a contract first before you grow it. You need to know there is a home for it.”

“When there was significant acreage of borage in 2005, contracts only accounted for a small part of the crop. It took a long time to find a home for the majority of it. With hemp, Health Canada requires paperwork before you can grow it.

All harvest seed must be sold to the company you bought your seed from.”

“If production contracts are not available, take that as a sign it may be hard to sell and not be readily marketable. You also need to consider the storability of that crop. Not every crop can be stored in the bin for extended periods, in good condition.”

Pulse crops are valuable to grow for their reduced fertilizer requirements and the additional benefits for following crops as they extract nutrients from the crop residue. Says Brook, “Peas, lentils, and faba beans all provide a nitrogen benefit and have established markets. However, last year’s trade issues with India have

dropped the price of peas and lentils, making those less profitable.”

“Peas are grow throughout the province, but there are issues related to standability.

Lentils grow best in the brown and dark brown soil zones.

Faba beans will grow well in the black and grey wooded soil zones but they take a long time to mature and should be seeded early.”

Brook notes that there are two distinct and separate markets for faba beans. “The low tannin faba beans are almost totally marketed to the hog industry as a soybean replacement. There is also a human consumption market for the high tannin varieties of faba beans. Insect pests can be a problem with quality, as sucking insects mark the seed. Markets are up and down and you need to assure yourself there is profit from growing them.”

Because of the importance of a groundwater licence in ensuring sustainable access to water, the government has decided to provide additional time to apply for a water licence by extending both the transition period and the application fee waiver period.

On February 29, 2016 the Water Sustainability Act (WSA) came into force, modernizing British Columbia’s legislative framework governing the allocation and use of water and protection of aquatic ecosystems. The then new law brought in a requirement for agricultural, industrial, commercial and institutional groundwater users to obtain a water licence.

When the WSA came into force, an estimated 20,000 users who were using groundwater up to and on February 29, 2016 were anticipated to apply for a water licence. However, the application intake has been lower than expected and for many groundwater users, recognizing the value of a licence to secure their water rights represents a significant change.

It is important to note that groundwater users who apply under the transition provisions of the WSA are required to pay annual water rentals retroactive to February 29, 2016 to ensure equity for those who applied early. The longer one delays application, the larger the retroactive total rental payment owed.

Applicants who were using groundwater on and before February 29, 2016 who apply before March 1, 2022 will continue to enjoy the following benevfits: exemption from paying application fees, opportunity to receive a date of precedence on their water licence that reflects historic use, and the ability to continue using water until a decision on the licence application is made.

All existing well owners who were using groundwater on and before February 29, 2016 for non-household use (e.g. agricultural, industrial, commercial and institutional), are encouraged to apply for a water licence as soon as possible.

The Regional Board approve issuance of a Temporary Use to Wildfire Land & Cattle Co. Ltd for a period of three years, subject to receipt of financial security to secure reclamation of the property in an amount to be determined by a third party assessment of the estimated cost to remediate the property, for the purpose of operating a 500 person work camp and fuel card-lock 13 km west of Wonowon.

Next PRRD Board Meetings:

A temporary Invasive Plant Bylaw Enforcement Officer position was approved, for a three month period in the summer/ fall season of 2019, to deal specifically with compliance and enforcement issues under the Invasive Plant Program.

The Women Riders World Relay As I sit here at 58 years old, I can look back at the life I have lead to this point and see the hundreds and thousands of tiny steps that I and countless of other women before me took to get where we are today. One personal journey became a collective journey that started at the beginning of time.

There have always been strong, independent women, all throughout the ages.

Catherine the Great, Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, Madame Curie, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Sacagawea, Nellie Bly, Bessie Coleman, Indra Gandhi and so, so many more.

When I read about many of these women in high school, it was from the context of history in war, or science or computing, but never was it from the context of HOW or WHY did these women manage to be accepted in a work world of predominantly males and become so revered for their skills and knowledge?

HOW and WHY were they able to do what other women seemingly felt unable to do?

They were all trailblazers with two things in common; They didn’t think or act like other women of their day.

I learned something in high school , reading their stories, and that something was reinforced by my father.

He always told me that if I wanted something bad enough I would find a way to go over, around or

under any obstacle to make it happen. “All you have to do is have a fire in your belly and a determined heart and mind. There may be some things that are physically impossible for you to do that a male counterpart can, but there are in many cases tools that will aide you, you just need to be smart enough to use them.”

And truth be told, as I look back now, the only person who has EVER truly held me back in anything was me.

Whenever I have wanted something bad enough, put my imagination, skills, heart and soul to work, I have succeeded at anything I truly wanted to do.

Did I face discrimination? Yes. Did men rape and bully me? Yes. Did women bully me? Yes. Did women act petty and catty and try to rip me down? Yes. Did men threaten me that if I didn’t sleep with them I’d lose my job? Yes. Did any of those things change me?

YES - they strengthened my resolve, they helped me find my self worth, find my backbone and learn to defend myself and stand up for myself.

I lived in a family, that like many, was very dysfunctional but the dysfunction was hidden behind closed doors, always whispered about, but never brought out in the open. My life became a series of contradictions, my father telling me I could

be or do anything I set my mind to and my alcoholic mother beating me unmercifully. There were girls and boys in my school that were such bullies, that between them and the crap with my mother and father that I was constantly being involved in, I was on nerve pills and tranquilizers by the time I was 16.

When I first left home at 18 I was partying a lot, I finally settled down a lot by 19 and by 23 was living in the US, married and in a really dysfunctional situation.

When I left my ex husband I was very ill, in fact, I spent 9 months in hospital with doctors working to save my life. During that time my daughter was kidnapped by her father from my mother’s home where alcohol was still a big problem and I was helpless to protect her or stop any of it. When two and a half years later she finally came home to live with me at not quite four years old, we started counselling.

It was there, trying to help her, to give her better tools and skills than I had been given, that I learned how to help myself. Since those days as a young 28 year old women, I have learned about the universal laws which govern everything in our lives and this includes the Law of Attraction.

What you give your focus, attention and energy to, is what you will attract to you.

While I have not always been successful in staying positive in my thoughts and generous in my ac-

tions, I am far more capable today than I was even 5 years ago.

If there was one thing I would wish for young girls on their journey to womanhood, it would be for them to learn meditation at a young age.

To learn how to turn that negative chatter in our heads off and find relief. I would also love for them to learn early on that they are only responsible for their reactions to how others treat them.

If we as parents, as influencers in children’s lives could simply give them the skills to believe in their own dreams and the tools to reach for those dreams, image, how much faster than I our girls can become the strong, loving, capable, joyous, balanced, happy people they deserve to be.

For those of you ladies who ride, there is a world wide Women’s Motorcycle Relay Ride happening now.

If you want to see joyous, empowered, strong and loving women in motion, follow them on Facebook (WRWR - Women Riders World Relay), watch their videos.... visit their site and support this amazing world wide statement by riding in the relay, sponsoring it or simply cheering them on! https://womenridersworldrelay. com

Protein premiums for wheat

The 2018 crop year featured a strong protein premium for wheat, in particular hard red spring wheat. Neil Blue, provincial crop market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, looks at the situation with protein premiums on wheat in 2019.

Blue says that wheat protein premiums this crop year have dropped back to below average levels due to increased supply of higher protein wheat in the world. These crops include the dryness-reduced U.S. hard red winter wheat crop as well as European and post-Soviet state crops.

“In Alberta, this year’s protein premium is around two cents per bushel per one-tenth per cent of protein,” says Blue. “Although, the protein premium may vary from one buyer to another.”

“Some buyers may quote that protein premium as 10 cents per bushel for a half percentage point of protein. Last spring, the protein premiums for wheat were historically high, averaging

about five cents per bushel per one-tenth per cent protein point.”

He adds that for an individual buyer, the protein premium may differ at different protein levels. “For example, last year for some halfpoint protein increments, the premium was as high as eight cents per bushel per one-tenth point of protein. Over the last several years in Alberta, the average protein premium for wheat has been from 3.5 to 4 cents per bushel per onetenth per cent protein level.”

As for some marketing strategies, Blues says that taking representative samples as grain is placed into storage and using the Canadian Grain Commission’s (CGC) Harvest Sample Program are a good start.

“There is no charge for the program during the harvest sample submission period, and the CGC provides for wheat the grade, protein and DON levels as well as the falling number,” he explains. “Although considered unofficial, that CGC grading information can then be used as a

reference by producers in their marketing.”

The next step is shopping around widely to learn how buyers are grading your wheat and also learn the grade, protein and other grade aspect price differentials that each buyer is applying.

“On that note,” says Blue, “I realize that producers have encountered variations from buyer to buyer in grading, but I advise that producers should try to collect as much information about buyers’ prices as possible on which to base their sale decisions.”

Blue adds that producers who disagree with an assessed grade on delivery to a licensed primary elevator can request that a sample from that load be sent to the CGC for a grade assessment. “That grade will be the final grade for settlement. I know that producers are reluctant to challenge a grade factor, but that is a right of producers and the method that should be acceptable to buyers to maintain good relationships with producers.”

54 The Northern Horizon, March 15, 2019

Farmer’s Advocacy Office - another month; future uncertain The Peace River Regional District agreed to cover the Farmer Advocacy Office’s rent for one more month, but its future is still uncertain.

FAO representatives needed to give notice by March 1 if they intended to leave their space at the end of March — when their contract is up — so the PRRD directors at the February 28 meeting bucked up for April’s rent, a cost of $1,943.

The previous agreement with the FAO contractor had ended July 31, 2018, so the PRRD resolved to extend it to March 31 of this year, bearing the full cost — $18,040 per month. (The PRRD and the province previously split the costs).

“The difficulty we are at is how they’re funded,” says Area E Director Dan Rose.

A report by MNP on the FAO recommended “renewing the contract for a transitory phase between the PRRD and the FAO contractor with clarification on roles, expectations and core functions,” noting a heavy reliance on the current contractor in the current set-up.

FAO reps, however, disputed some of the reports points, including suggestions there were problems between FAO staff and management committee, that they were going beyond their scope by offering legal advice, and that they provide subjective compensation figures.

“We find the tone of the report to be accusatory in nature, incorrect in several significant areas, and we are saddened to find this reflection of our services posted publicly in our community,” says Anne Clayton with the FAO. One thing everyone did seem to agree on was the value of the FAO. “I can’t foresee it closing, because it is such a valuable asset to landowners,” says Area D Director Leonard Hiebert. “I never heard anything negative from our constituents.”

Reps from provincial ministries Lori Vickers and Richard Bader were on hand Thursday, and they agreed on its importance.

“At the Ministry of Agriculture, we would like to see a continuation of the services of the FAO office, and we recommend following the MNP recommendations,” said Vickers, a regional agrologist with the Minister of Agriculture. “We want to see this as an opportunity to regroup moving forward.”

Bader, acting director with Oil and Gas Division of Ministry of Energy and Mines said there was a high level of satisfaction in area with the FAO. “[We just need to] mitigate risk and maximize opportunity.”

was one of the points raised many times during the meeting.

But, again, funding is the question. The reps from the ministries indicated there aren’t any 2019 funds allocated to the project.

FAO delegates had a few concerns regarding funding models.

“We’d like to see funding independent of the Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Petroleum Resources, the OGC, the SRV, and the oil and gas industry, just so that it is truly independent,” says Clayton.

“I am concerned if it is going to be an extension of our contract on a transitory basis, that there may be more work and more need than our staff can provide.”

The Regional District will circle back on the issue before the end of March, with directors not wanting the PRRD to take it on by themselves. A new contract, an extension of the previous one as the board agreed to last year, or closing down the office appear to be the options on the table.

But there didn’t seem to be much appetite for the latter.

“It is absolutely critical to our ag sector,” says Area B Director Karen Goodings.

While some municipal bodies are making tough cuts to their members - Pouce Coupe hosted a meeting that was looking to grow the D. PPRD director Leonard Hiebert held an area D meeting that saw some robust discussion about a potential Field House in the Peace.

WILLOWVIEW AUCTIONS LTD.

Mark Rogers thinks so - and brought it up at the PRRD recently.

Rogers points to many facilities in both the north and south Peace and being unable to host provincials because they are not up to either provincial or international competitions and standards.

“Anytime we win at zones, we are always traveling - we don’t have the facilities to host provincials.”

He said the PRRD had $125,000 for such a study, but anything by way of a report has only

“They will do nothing with it,” he said, citing PRRD parents who billet their children out of the area because of better sports options located in Prince George.

Pouce Coupe mayor Lorraine Michetti said the idea was worth looking into if only to stop homegrown talent leaving as youth, never to return.

Rogers notes the pool in the Borek can’t host provincials because of the lack of compliance to competition standards, same with the speed skating loop in Fort St. John.

“I’ve taken rugby team to PG for a practice, then a game, and home. It is worth it for the experience of playing in a different venue. Why don’t we try to host track and field instead of travelling every single time?”

We hear the Youth Advisory Council would like to see a drop in center which a Field House could provide, while a Field House could also be a dry land training facility for hockey and other winter sports. Rogers says the idea is pretty straightforward.

“It takes the whole concept of sports and social and mixes it together.”

PRRD director Hiebert agreed with the potential of the larger venue.

“It can open a whole wide world of opportunity for youth competing in it, and the community,” he said.
