Breakfast Brief “The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.” – James Allen (British philosopher) AUSTRALIA SPURS WHEAT, WEATHER HELPING CORN (June 14, FarmLead.com) Grain prices are in the green this morning as the complex continues to look past this week’s WASDE report and towards fresh weather forecasts.

There are ongoing concerns for the crop in Western Canada as drought conditions are having an impact on production potential. For example, the drought has created a flea beetle issue for the canola crop, which is already stopped growing in a few places in Saskatchewan because of the heat. That being said, DTN is forecasting that there’s be some wet relief soon with an inch to 4 inches expected to fall over the next week across the Prairies. Is it too little too late? Might be for the Canadian mustard crop.

In the U.S., DTN is suggesting that southern and eastern parts of the Corn Belt, as well as parts of the Delta are going to be wet over the next 7 days. From a bullish perspective, this potentially means a more Prevent Plant acres (at least in soybeans) thanks to the slowdown of any remaining progress left in what’s already been a historically slow Plant 2019.

It’s estimated that fund managers are now sitting in a net long position in corn of 200,000 contracts.

Joe Vaclavik from Standard Grain points out that, considering funds were close to a net-short position of almost 400,000 contracts at the end of April, this is a bullish swing of 600,000 positions in just 6 weeks!Conversely, speculators are still holding a net short position in winter wheat and soybeans.

Australia Grain Prices Watch Demand, Weather I’ve been discussing it for a few weeks, but drought is certainly a topic that’s being discussed more often in a few places around the world. In their estimate at the end of May, Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology said that the next three months would be, once again, dry and hot. Unsurprisingly, ABARES lowered its production estimate of Australian wheat production in their updated forecast this week.

That being said, Western Australia got a good soaker this week, “reviving hopes of at least an average crop” in the region, according to the Australia Financial Review. If you recall, Western Australia has been the savior of grain production in the Land DownUndaa as its production has been trying to make up for the shortfalls in Eastern Australia. Digging in, Western Australia produced a near-record grain harvest a year ago, but a dry fall has led to more farmers planting wheat and barley over canola or other expensive-to-plant crops. That being said, ABARES is suggesting that canola acres are up from their February estimate, and with it, the size of the canola harvest in Australia.

While ABARES lowered their wheat production number, they raised their barley harvest estimate. This was a direct result of a significant increase in acres planted over their initial forecast back in February.

ABP Environmental Stewardship Award call for nominations The Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is seeking nominations for the 2020 Environmental Stewardship Award (ESA). The ESA recognizes cattle producers whose natural resource stewardship practices contribute to the environment and enhance productivity and profitability.

We are asking producers to take this opportunity to share the unique environmental practices employed on their operation and to present the positive story about cattle producers’ contribution to the environment. Nomination forms are available on the ABP website at: www.albertabeef.org/ producers/environmental-stewardship-award, from the ABP office or from your local delegate.

All cattle producers are encouraged to either enter or nominate another producer who is taking

strides towards sound environmental production practices.

A team of judges made up of ABP delegates, the 2019 ESA winner and an industry associate will review the submissions and tour the nominated ranching operations. Each applicant will be scored on predetermined criteria unique to the practices they implement in their business.

The winner will receive a commemorative gate sign, a video highlighting their ranching operation and a paid trip to the ABP Annual General Meeting in Calgary for the award presentation at a formal banquet. The competition is open to all cattle producers.

Deadline for nominations is July 15, 2019 and the winner will be announced December 2019.

This might be considered a bit bearish for Canadian barley prospects but the anti-dumping investigation

by China into Aussie barley is still ongoing. Further, in recent weeks, domestic demand has helped barley prices sit equal with feed wheat prices and export barley prices. This, intuitively, keeps the door open for Canadian barley exports to keep cruising towards a new record: through Week 45 of the 2018/19 crop year, 2.07 MMT has been shipped out, 19% more than the same time a year ago (which, by the way, is the current record).

Other Datapoints Grain Markets Are Considering Flipping the page to other parts of the world, China’s Ag Ministry let us know this week that the size of their pig herd in May was 24% smaller than the same month a year ago. While China does not disclose the actual numbers behind the size of the herd, that 24% likely represents just under 100 million animals.

I repeat: 100 million animals.

Strategie Grains lowered its estimate of 2019/20 wheat exports by 1.1 MMT to now sit at 22.1 MMT. That would still technically be more than their revised estimate of 2018/19 wheat exports of 21 MMT. This revised wheat exports forecast comes off a downgrade of EU soft wheat production by 900,000 to now sit at 142.8 MMT. This would be a 12% improvement from last year’s smaller harvest, thanks to a drought. Comparably, barley production in the EU is estimated by Strategie Grains at 59.6 MMT. While this represents a 700,000 decline from their previous estimate, it is a 7% bump over last year’s barley production that was also negatively impacted by drought.

Also seeing a bump in wheat production is Ukraine. APK-Inform is forecasting that the winter wheat crop in the Black Sea nation will jump 8.4% year-over-year to 25.9 MMT, mainly thanks to higher yields.

Which Direction Next for Grain Prices?

Overall, grain markets are certainly cognizant of the production potential of the 2019/20. Should Western Canada receive the rains in the forecast over the next 7 days, you’ll likely see canola and spring wheat prices start pulling back. For the latter, given the increase in acres, there is some big spring wheat production potential in the ground right now but only if some moisture comes along.

It’s the opposite for soybean and corn prices, though, as the rains have been anything but helpful in the Midwest. Should these rains materialize, it’ll continue to soak already-wet soils and the yield potential of the crop will start to drop off. Put simply, there might be more room to run in this rally, especially for soybeans.

Have a great weekend!

if anything, forestry’s place in B.C.’s merchandise export mix expanded slightly over the 2009-17 period.

How is public policy influencing the competitive landscape for forestry? As owner of most land in the province, the government must juggle many balls. And it has little control over global or North American lumber demand, trade policy, the exchange rate or other key exogenous variables. But in recent years, B.C. policy-makers have done precious little to make this province an attractive place to deploy capital in forest-related businesses.

Beginning with tax policy, the return of the provincial sales tax in 2013, the new employer health tax and B.C.’s escalating carbon tax together have added hundreds of millions of dollars of extra, profit-insensitive tax costs for forest companies. And the move to a higher corporate tax rate has made B.C. even less competitive for firms that earn profits.

Turning to other areas of legislation and regulation, the new “professional reliance” regime for natural resource industries has created a greater compliance burden for forest companies. B.C.’s still-under-development caribou habitat protection plans, once in place, will further restrict access to timber in some northern regions.

Under Bill 22, the BC NDPgovernment intends to control transfers of tenure within the forest sector to protect the “public interest,” a term not defined in the legislation. As the industry adjusts to a declining fibre supply caused in part by the pine beetle infestation, this legislation may be used to impede necessary rationalization and undermine the value and security of the Crown-issued tenures to harvest timber that forest companies have long relied on.

Finally, B.C.’s adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, absent any clear idea of how its implementation will affect government laws and regulatory processes that pertain to the land base, promises to make it even harder for forestry and other resource industries to do business in the province.

Add it all up, and it is no mystery why so many B.C. forest companies are curtailing production and investing in other provinces and U.S. states, rather than at home. • Jock Finlayson is the Business Council of British Columbia’s executive vice-president and chief policy officer; Ken Peacock is the council’s chief economist.

Trouble in BC’s woods means trouble for the province’s economy

Battered and bleeding, the B.C. lumber industry has seen better days. Today, it is grappling with tough market conditions, a diminished domestic timber supply (along with rising fibre costs), U.S. softwood import tariffs and a lack of provincial government interest in doing much to improve the competitive environment.

That is worrisome. Forestry – of which lumber production is the largest component – is a high-wage industry that remains the mainstay of regional economies across the province, particularly outside of the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria.

The activities across all segments of forestry combined account for billions of dollars of B.C.’s economic output (GDP), provide direct employment for more than 50,000 British Columbians, and pay $4 billion a year in taxes, royalties and fees to various levels of government. Tens of thousands of additional B.C. jobs also depend on forestry because of the industry’s extensive linkages with other sectors of the economy.

Then there is forestry’s outsized role in B.C.’s exports.

British Columbia is a small jurisdiction that must trade to ensure its economic well-being.

Exports of goods and services amount to about one-third of the province’s GDP. These exports furnish the economic means that enable households and businesses to pay for imports of a wide array of goods and services – everything from vehicles, medical devices, pharmaceutical products and IT equipment to consumer electronics, clothing and many foodstuffs.

As a small economy, B.C. needs to pay close attention to the health of its “traded industry clusters,” the industries that produce goods and services for sale outside of the province.

Today, despite its manifold challenges, forestry ranks as B.C.’s biggest traded industry, and by a significant margin.

While B.C. boasts an increasingly diversified economy, forestry continues to generate 30% to 35% of the earnings that B.C. garners from selling goods abroad. The softwood lumber business alone cranks out exports of $6 billion every year – at least 10 times the value of exports from the “clean tech” industry that fascinates so many of our politicians.

Forestry’s contribution to B.C.’s exports hasn’t fallen, even though other industries – e.g., energy, agriculture and high technology – have gained a higher profile over time. Indeed,

Poll puts support for Trans Mountain at 60% in BC Sixty per cent of British Columbians support the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, according to a new Ipsos poll commissioned by Resource Works.

The poll was released today, June 17, one day ahead of tomorrow’s anticipated announcement by federal cabinet on the $7.4 billion to $9.3 billion twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline.

The poll was based on a survey of 800 British Columbians, province-wide. Support for the project was higher in the north and interior of B.C., at 63%. Support in Vancouver was 59% and 60% on Vancouver Island.

More than a year ago, an Angus Reid poll put the support for the expansion in B.C. at 54%. More recently, in January, another Angus Reid poll found 53% of British Columbians considered lack of pipeline capacity a “crisis.”

Canada-wide, it was 58%.

Mario Canseco,

president of ResearchCo polling firm, said support for the Trans Mountain pipeline among British Columbians and Canadians in general began ticking up after the Canadian government bought the pipeline from Kinder Morgan Canada (TSX:KLM), which suggests some Canadians may have changed their stance once they, as taxpayers, had skin in the game.

A little over a year ago, when Kinder Morgan announced it was abandoning plans to expand the existing Trans

Mountain pipeline, the Trudeau government tried to save the project by buying the existing pipeline for $4.5 billion, about $1 billion of which was for work that had already been done on the expansion, before it was halted by the BC Court of Appeal last year.

“Suddenly, when you’re an owner, you look at it differently,” Canseco said.

He also thinks an advertising campaign by the Jason Kenney government in Alberta tying high gasoline prices in B.C. to pipeline constraints may have had some

impact.

Since the beginning of June, the Alberta government has blanketed B.C. with billboards, social media ads and advertising in mainstream media linking high gas prices in B.C. to Premier John Horgan’s “obstructing” the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

“Once you get those reminders consistently, there’s a chance that that could move anywhere from 5% to 10% of residents to say, ‘yes, this is the problem,’” Canseco said.

Understand the benefits of long-term land leases Dyck says a termination clause helps make it easier for both parties to part ways.

“If you are just not happy with the renter or what he or she is doing, then you can get out of it,” Dyck says.

He says the same goes for a renter who feels a landlord is making too many decisions about the use of property or the rental fee.

Dalke recommends the termination agreement including a notice provision, which sets out the exact amount of time either party must give to the other before exiting the lease.

3. Property upkeep One advantage for the landlord of having a long-term lease is the incentive on the part of the renter to have good soil management practices. They have the land for the long-haul, Dalke says, noting a typical long-term lease is around five years.

“They have that certainty of term; they have the certainty of the rental rate; they know their expenses and because perhaps they want to keep the land on a renewal basis or they know they are there for the long-haul, they have the incentive to undertake good management practices, fix the fences, that kind of thing,” Dalke says.

He adds if it’s a short-term lease, the incentive may be lacking on both sides to have a good working relationship and on the lessee side to do proper management practices.

Dyck adds communication is key.

“For both the landlord and the renter, you can set up a proper rotation and do the best management practices to keep the soil healthy and preserve long term productivity of the land.”

Bottom line Experts stress the importance of a written agreement in long-term land lease agreements, detailing rental costs, length of lease, land upkeep expectations and a termination clause.

Long-term land leases have both positives and negatives for landlords and renters, experts say, and it’s important all parties know the possibilities before reaching an agreement.

Eric Dalke, a lawyer with Counsel West Law in Calgary, Alta., and Dean Dyck, farm business management specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, offer these top three tips for creating a successful long-term land lease relationship.

1. Have a written agreement Dalke says he still sees many oral agreements made over a handshake. There are too many details left unclear in this kind of an arrangement, he says.

“If you have an oral arrangement, or an arrangement that isn’t clear as to when the start or end date is, you run into the risk of not having certainty between the parties,” Dalke says. “There is an increased risk of litigation. There’s increased risk of arguing on things like, ‘do I have a lease next year or not and what are the terms?’ “ Dalke says.

2. Provision to exit lease Having a termination clause is imperative to allow both the renter and landlord the option to get out of the lease if the relationship goes awry, or if circumstances change.

The idea of a borderline seems to grow in importance the further away you are from it.

Here in the Peace, we have natural connections with friends and family just on the other side of the 120th meridian. Many people who live here work, shop and play on both sides of the border. The border evaporates for everything except taxes.

But the border was a harsh reality that sadly prevented one member of our community from getting fast, emergency health care that may have saved her young life. I brought the tragic case of 20-year-old Samantha Bennetts to the floor of the Legislature during recent debates on the Health Ministry budget. Her family asked me to bring her story to Victoria so what happened to Samantha doesn’t happen again.

This young woman, her whole life in front of her, was seriously injured in a car crash. She needed to be transferred to a trauma hospital – and that needed to happen fast. But sadly, the exact opposite happened.

Instead, Samantha slowly deteriorated in a hospital bed in Fort St. John as she waited hours and hours to be flown to Vancouver. Her family were told again and again through that horrible day that the BC Ambulance plane was on its way. It appears that after an hour or two, when it was supposed to land, they were told the plane has been cancelled. That was merely the start of a tragic sequence of events. After the mechanical issues of the plane were solved, the pilots had timed out. New pilots were needed. But pilots couldn’t be found.

By the time the plane arrived and got Samantha to Vancouver 18 hours later her parents were given the heartbreaking news. Samantha could not be resuscitated, and her parents’ only decision was to consider organ donations.

But there was another option. Edmonton is a lot closer than Vancouver. STARS Air Ambulance could have had Samantha to Edmonton in two hours, and in a hospital bed. No one can say if it would have changed the sad outcome, but it very well could have tipped the scales in Samantha’s favor.

But sadly the decision made was standard policy – to prioritize using BC’s Air Ambulance Service over Alberta-based STARS. That’s putting policy ahead of people. And here in the Peace, it ignores the reality of our lives – and the power that co-operation can have in an emergency. The border between BC and Alberta seems way more important in far off Victoria than it does here.

I’m proud to have raised this issue on behalf of the family, and I welcomed the confirmation I got from Health Minister Adrian Dix that work is under way between the BC Ambulance Service and Alberta Health Services to develop an agreement to tackle situations just like Samantha’s. He also promised to keep me informed as the agreement is developed and I will keep the People of the Peace updated.

It’s the right approach to find a deal because putting bureaucratic rules or political goals ahead of finding ways to co-operate across borders is just wrong. After all, we are all Canadians, whether we live in British Columbia or Alberta.

What is the filter or grid you look through? wondered what had happened to the poor fellow to make him hate humans that much. I saw a smart horse that had learned all these behaviors from the handling he had been receiving.

He wasn’t born biting himself, rearing, squealing, throwing himself on the ground and attacking people. I also wondered what kind of anxiety he must be feeling to be biting his own body and thrashing wildly around the pen even when no one was near. My filters based on what I’ve learned and seen indicated to me that he doesn’t want to be like that, but has had enough of whatever he had been getting and had found a way to keep people away from him. I knew the horse had his own filter that he viewed humans through, and it was a filter that was not going to be easily changed.

I spent 10 days with that horse and changed his perception at least towards one human and was happy to know that my filter was working.

He didn’t want to be the way he was, and with a different approach and looking at him my own particular filters, a horse emerged that wasn’t trying to mutilate itself and everything around it. The owner cried daily at the transformation.

Many times in the 10 days I thought, “I’m not going to get out of this round pen alive” but each day got better as a trust and respect grew between us.

There was obviously much that went on in the 10 days and much more to the story but this is what I know. A positive filter, even if for only for one of the two in the pen at the start, still created a positive for both in the end.

We are not born with these filters or grids.

They are slowly built or weaved over time. The experiences we’ve had, the things we have seen or think we’ve seen, what we have been told or overheard or thought we heard. It is our perception, and perception is reality until it can be proven differently to us and then we get a new perception.

Years ago a lady brought a stallion to me to work with. The stallion was shown as a halter horse at different shows and was winning top honors and taking all the trophies. However, the stallion was getting to be more and more out of control as time went by and finally was banned from any more shows. The trainer that trained and showed the horse from the start couldn’t handle him any longer either, so the stallion was left with owners.

One day when the husband was feeding, the stallion took him down with his teeth and front feet. By the time the fellow crawled under the bottom rail out of the pen, the stallion had broken his collarbone and a rib or two and bruised him up pretty badly. The horse wasn’t safe even to feed anymore. Someone that knew me suggested to the owners that they give me a call. I agreed to have a look at the stallion to see if I could help.

When they arrived they led the stallion to a steel round pen and turned him loose. When I say led him, the stallion was actually the one doing the leading, squealing, rearing, trying to bite and I wasn’t sure if they were going

to make it to the round pen alive, let alone in one piece. I was working with another horse at the time and while I was finishing up I got to watch the stallion. All by himself in the round pen he would squeal, rear, throw himself on the ground, urinate all over himself and bite at his ribs. He would swing his head so fast and hard that his teeth would thump into his ribs. Then he would bite a bunch of his own hide and pull until it come out from between his teeth and you could hear his teeth snap together.

I finished up with the first horse and it was time to go have a visit with the stallion. I was thinking that I would be in the arena by myself as usual with the horse and maybe the owner but as it was getting closer to the time to start with the stallion, people started arriving. At first I didn’t know why they were all there but they all headed to the sitting area above the stallions pen and were waiting for the show.

Someone had talked about the stallion and the word had got out and it had created quite a bit of interest with the local cowboys.

As I approached the pen the stallion ran at the fence, turned his head sideways and tried to bite me through the rails. Then he would turn, run away and come at me again. The people that come to watch really were not my supporters. After watching the stallion for a while, they thought I was out of my mind to actually be trying to get in the pen. They suggested getting a gun and shooting the horse and that the horse was a waste of time. At the very least a 2X4 to chase him away or rifle in case the stallion got me down and they could shoot him to save me. As I said earlier they weren’t really my supporters, but they were really beginning to dislike the horse and kind of warming up to me just because I was actually going in the pen.

The people watching, the owner and myself were all looking at the same horse, same situation all with our own set of filters. The owner was hopeful something could be done but to date had only seen the horse get worse. The other fellows that come to watch clearly figured the horse only needed lead between the ears. That he was no good for anything and was a crazy man killer.

I looked at the horse with my filters and

Corneal ulcers of horses - keeping an eye on your equine’s eyes By: Dr. Katrina Barth The average horse has a visual sharpness of about 20/30 to 20/40 (better than the average dog at 20/75 or cat 20/100). Humans, without the need for eye glasses, average 20/20 vision, so horses with 20/30 describes how a horse needs to be 20 feet away from the object to see the same detail a normal human can discern from 30 feet away. Some horse owners may notice their horse spook when they see unfamiliar things in the distance, but this is not because the image is blurry, it is just rather grainier.

Adaptive to their existence as a prey species, horse eyes scan the horizon (with their horizontal rectangular pupil) and so predators at a distance elicit a heightened state of awareness. The overall eyes of horses are also large and prominent, enabling them to see predators from many angles; however, this may predispose them to traumatic corneal injury resulting in corneal ulcers and the topic of this discussion.

To understand exactly what corneal ulcers are and how to treat them, one requires review of the eye anatomy and function (which fortunately for veterinarians is consistent across all species). Light first enters and is focused by the cornea: the surface of the eye which is made up of a thick layer of clear cells. The iris, much like a camera diaphragm, controls how much light reaches the back of the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil. Behind the pupil, the lens— a crystalline structure— accommodates, and focuses the vision on near or far objects. Once accommodation occurs, and the light is focused by the cornea and lens, it reaches the retina, or the light-sensitive inner lining at the back of the eye. The light is then converted by the optic nerve and transmits this to the brain’s visual cortex where sight is controlled, finally producing the images in front of us.

Henceforth, the cornea, the transparent, shiny membrane at the front of the eyeball, acts almost like a clear windowpane. It has 3 layers: 1) the outermost epithelium (thin layer of cells), 2) the inner stroma, or main supportive tissue, and 3) the deepest layer called the “Descemet’s membrane”. Because the cornea is clear, you require a special stain to visualize the specific layers under the microscope and macroscopically in order to see defects in layering. When a few layers of the outer layer are eroded or scratched without going very deep, this is called corneal erosion. A corneal ulcer

then exists when a deep erosion through the entire outer layer and inner layer. A severe condition can occur when all layers of the cornea are penetrated and a ‘descemetocele’ is formed. This is where the Descemet’s membrane ruptures, leaking the inner liquid inside the eye out and the globe collapses causing irreparable damage.

The cause of corneal ulcers is mostly trauma—for example, blunt trauma by a stick, or contact with a sharp object. In horses, much like ulcers in dogs/cats, corneal ulcers should be aggressively treated no matter how small or superficial they may be. A corneal ulcer is extremely painful and horses will often keep their lids tightly closed to try to protect it or rub their eye to relieve this intense pain. Occasionally, discharge will run down the eye and the horse may become very head shy. Imagine getting a hair in your eye, but now that hair has actually pierced its way through your cornea!

Ouch! Another major concern is for corneal infections by bacteria or fungus to occur, or other serious ocular complications (globe rupture or blindness), eliciting prompt therapy to your veterinarian to avoid these complications. As well, once the eye is penetrated, inflammation can occur, or uveitis, and is present with corneal ulcers also requiring treatment to preserve vision. Perforation of an infected corneal ulcer through all its layering has a poor prognosis— to spare the unfortunate animal this discomfort, enucleation is the humane alternative.

Treatment of ulcers depends on how deeply the cornea is injured. Abrasions can heal within five days’ time and medication is used to prevent bacterial infections (ophthalmic antibiotics eye drops) and to relieve pain. However, prompt attention to your veterinarian is recommended with any suspected corneal injury as generally even superficial abrasions are not visible without special tests. Veterinarians will use a special stain called fluorescein to dye the cornea green. The dye will adhere to areas of ulceration and allow us to properly treat each individual case. Certain eye drop treatments will actually cause ulcers on the eye to become worse- for instance, topical corticosteroids actually encourage growth of bacterial opportunists and may complicate healing!

Eye problems, especially corneal ulceration, can become very complicated and serious fast.

Do not ever hesitate to call your local vet clinic if you have a question about your animal’s eyes!

The Northern Horizon, June 21, 2019

Solid strategies help producers improve profits Farmers can greatly benefit from writing commodity marketing strategies that include their cost of production, informed selling price targets and marketing tool options.

Numerous factors go into marketing, but quantifying production costs is the most critical, says IntelliFARM president Brian Voth.

“But it’s shocking how many farmers don’t know their costs – they have a general idea – or don’t want to know,” Voth says.

Among other information, cost of production reveals the minimum breakeven price required.

When determining your commodity’s worth, Voth advises removing greed from the equation.

Futures markets are helpful price discovery tools, but come with challenges: exchange rates are one, with futures predominantly prices in American dollars. Another is that crops like barley, durum, flaxseed and pulses are without futures markets.

There’s value in knowing crosscrop references, with feed barley prices tending to follow corn futures, and flax tracking canola and soybeans, Voth says.

“There might be enough cash bids you can solicit from different buyers and elevators to get a sense of what’s out there,” adds David Derwin, portfolio manager and investment advisor for PI Financial Corp.

Grain firms, however, have a reputation of closely guarding their prices.

“Transparency in pricing is something the grain companies don’t want,” Voth says.

But the market pays those who

do their homework, he insists.

Voth urges producers keep on top of supply/demand data and where prices are at relative-tohistoric carryout or stocks-to-use ratios. And Canfax offers cattle producers domestic and international market information.

Marketing tools Derwin adds that marketing tools help level the playing field.

“It can be a combination of using futures to protect and capture some pricing, (and) options to develop a range of prices that give some upside but more importantly (protect) your downside,” Derwin says.

“Grain companies will have deferred delivery contracts or forward contracts and you can book your elevator space and lock in a price.”

Basis contracts are also useful in grain and cattle marketing.

Planning gap Manitoba Agriculture found only 25 per cent of farmers in the province had commodity marketing strategies in 2015, and Farm Management Canada (FMC) executive director Heather Watson says adoption figures are similarly low across Canada.

“I can also tell you the adoption of planning practices writ large remains fairly low – around 20 to 25 per cent across the board – and that’s across all types of farms,” Watson says.

FMC was part of a five-year study in Ontario that found the percentage of farmers who had completed commodity marketing plans fell to nine in 2016, down from 23 per cent in 2011.

Watson says farmers tend to get their business practices in order

when times get tough rather than using them as a proactive.

Bottom line Farmers risk profitability without commodity marketing strategies. Experts advise development of a strategy by considering the cost of

production, the value of the commodity and effective use of marketing tools.

SHEPHERD’S DIARY

by Andy Tschetter

The journey continues, so join the flock Andy Tschetter is in charge of the sheep operation at the Peace View Hutterite Colony and provides a diary account of wintertime experiences with the sheep, as well as highlights from the past years travels in the Peace region.

FEBRUARY 15 It’s Friday. I take the short drive up the road to neighboring South Peace Colony where I know my friend and Colleague Jacob Tschetter is in the midst of lambing out the Colony’s winter flock of 450 ewes. My own desire for the bleat of newborn lambs is somewhat appeased as I find Jacob and his younger brothers Joseph and Albert immersed in lambing activities in the barn. Moving fresh birthed lambs, with the mothers following close behind, from the larger holding pens into smaller 5ft x 5ft jugs, where each ewe with offspring may bond appropriately, the lambs getting their vital first dose of colostrum. The air is charged with the energy of the noisy ewes calling for their babies.

Pens farther down the aisle contain groups of ewes with earlier born lambs, some lounging lazily in the straw, others frolicking about, some lambs already eating solid foodstuffs alongside their moms at the bunk. The lactating ewes are fed a high protein silage and alfalfa hay mix with barley added.

I finally catch up to Jacob who offers an apologetic shrug. My visits usually precipitate his making a pot of coffee he has not had time to make. The coffee can wait on a day like this, in the February cold

I’m inclined to roll up my sleeves to lend a hand. I share my friend’s labours, hopes and aspirations.

He tells me he is grateful his entire winter flock can be housed in the barn for the duration of lambing, given the brutal cold! The Colony lambs twice a year with a spring flock of 450 ewes lambing in late May and is able to market lambs year round. Several marketing options are available for the Colony with grain finished lambs being sold to Sungold Specialty Meats in Innisfail, Alberta as well as Pitt Meadows Meats and Tofield Auction. Key for Jacob is the Colony’s on-site, federally-inspected slaughter facility which possesses a percentage of the year’s lambs marketed mostly as whole carcasses to customers throughout BC. “I’m happy to see more of our lambs sold here in BC”, he says, “I hope we can improve on local direct marketing.” The Colony also buys feeder lambs in fall months after the February-born lambs are marketed and space becomes available in the barn. “It’s great”, he says, “We buy lambs mostly from the area here (Peace Region). So our end product is still good BC lamb.” Back in 2015 with Jacob fairly new at the helm as shepherd, the Colony sought to expand on its commercial sheep operation by upgrading on some of its aging facilities. First and foremost would be the construction of a new lambing barn. The insulated, steel beam structure, at 250 feet long by 80 feet wide, built during the summer of 2016 would be able to house an entire 450 ewe lambing. A twin bunk system designed for automated feeding provides adequate room

for all lambs to be dry lotted after weaning, when the ewes return to summer pasture. Coffee is on now! As ever, I find my colleague tenacious and determined, never waver in his daily application.

FEBRUARY 16 Cold again. Temperature at -25°C this morning. Did enjoy a 3 day warm spell of -13°C or so!

Gave the ewes oats this morning amounting to 3/4lb each. Two hay bales unrolled upon fresh ground is sufficient. The ewes will vocalize their displeasure over an occasional poor quality bale so oats are supplemented. The animals body language a sure indicator of how much to feed most days. I caught up on current lamb prices with Doug Verstraete, manager at Beaver Hill Auction Services in Tofield, who is pleased to see lamb prices on the rise after a December slump that saw heavy lambs trade at $1.40 per pound live weight.

Heavy lambs now selling for $1.71 $1.89 per lb Monday’s sale. Lambs in the 86 – 105 lb range sold higher at $1.73 - $2.15. Lighter lambs at 70 – 85 sold over the $2.00 mark. Cull ewe prices strong at $1.16 - $1.40 per lb, lighter culls selling higher than fats. Bred ewes selling from $200 - $260 per head. Doug noted a slight decrease in volume given month-long cold, but expects both price and volume increase in the weeks leading up to Easter.

snow and wind. Our mischievous Border Leicester ewe in fairly good behavior in last while now.

Looking ever-guilty about something, I did find her dozing today in the afternoon sun, her eyes half closed, likely dreaming of her next wild episode, or casualty to put it mildly; ever testing this shepherd’s resolve. She has developed a habit lately of utilizing the tractor’s undercarriage as a scratching post and got herself royally stuck between the machine’s fuel tank and rear wheel. Alas, the words of English literary great, Oswald Chambers ring true. “Life without war is impossible either in nature or in grace.” He once wrote, referring to antagonism being the basis of physical, mental, moral and spiritual life. Our Lord put it all the more succinctly, “Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Shepherds all, abide in your endeavors.

Increase your flocks!

Across the nation you are just over 9,000 members strong. Your experience with your woolly subjects just might prepare you for Heaven.

BCRC and ABP open calls for research letters of intent

The right tool is a game-changer.

he Beef Cattle Research Council and Alberta Beef Producers invites letters of intent (LOIs) for research projects as well as LOIs for technology transfer and production economics projects. The application deadline for these separate but concurrent calls is August 9, 2019 at 11:59 PM MT. The purpose of these two targeted calls is to achieve specific objectives in the Canadian Beef Research and Technology Transfer Strategy and the National Beef Strategy. These calls for research and technology transfer LOIs, expected to occur annually for research and bi-annually for technology transfer and production economics, are made possible by the recent increase in the Canadian Beef Cattle Check-Off in most

provinces.

Approved projects, funded by Canadian cattle producers through the Canadian Beef Cattle CheckOff, will be required to use the industry funding to leverage additional funds from government or other funding organizations to fulfill project budgets.

Through extensive consultation with research teams and industry stakeholders to identify critical needs and key areas where the BCRC and ABP can have the greatest impact, target outcomes have been clearly defined for both calls.

Please refer to the target objectives listed within the documents linked below before deciding whether to submit a LOI.

Wagyu proves premium beef commands premium price When Scott and Amy Hay met, both were working in the luxury yacht industry in France. Years later, the couple has swapped boats for beef, and open waters for the open range of British Columbia’s southern interior. Trained as engineers, they’ve put their business acumen and planning skills to work building a farm-direct beef business specializing in purebred Wagyu and Wagyu crosses.

“This has always been Scott’s dream,” Amy says. “We have known each other for 15 years, and he has always talked about owning a beef farm.”

Building the dream of Waikikahei Ranch has been a slow and deliberate journey that started by choosing a piece of common ground. Amy comes from Scotland and Scott from New Zealand, so they decided to make their home halfway between, in Canada. Scott worked at Vancouver’s largest yacht refit and new build group.

Amy contracted to a Korean marine satellite company and then a marine glass company.

“We started working at the shipyards in Vancouver – I worked my way up to general manager there – and we saved up enough money to

buy six and a half acres in Aldergrove,” Scott explains. “We started buying cows from the auction, and implanting Wagyu embryos.”

The Wagyu premium Wagyu is a Japanese breed renowned for its tenderness, marbling and flavour. It’s a premium product, commanding anything from $15 per pound for ground beef to upwards of $100 per pound for finer cuts. The premium prices have attracted interest from ranchers around the world.

“It’s a long-term investment to build up a herd,” Scott says. “Wagyu are slow growers. It takes 30 to 36 months to finish out to 1,800 to 2,000 pounds. The slow growth rate is what allows for the marbling.”

In the interest of diversification and having a product to market more quickly, Scott and Amy are crossing Wagyu with other commercial beef breeds, including Angus, belted Galloways, black baldy and Highland cattle.

“We’ve had some fun coming up with names for some of the crosses,” says Amy, listing off the wangus, wagoways, wack waldy and wylands as examples.

“Having our full-blood Wagyu gives us a market that is never going to be truly impacted by the economy. If you can afford to pay $56 for an eight-ounce steak (di-

rect price), it doesn’t really matter what the economy is doing,” says Scott. “By mixing Wagyu into our Galloways and other beef breeds, we are able to offer a higher quality product direct to market as well.”

Full-time ranch commitment After maximizing the production potential of their acreage in the Lower Mainland, the Hays decided to move their family to a community with broader ranching horizons. In April 2018, they bought 500 acres in B.C.’s Boundary region and moved their ranch and three children to the community of Greenwood. By December 2018, Amy had left her engineering position to commit to the ranch full time.

“We worked over four years to establish the business model of our ranch before making the move. We were three years into our five-year plan,” they explain. “We looked at the ranch as a business and structured the decisions from a business aspect to allow our family to live the dream. It’s not a hobby and needs to be able to support the ranch and our family.”

Dogs that lay, but don’t stay part II the dog does this freely and willingly then start backing up a few steps and increasing the distance between dog and handler while holding the end of the line. Keep a close eye on the dog and be ready to repeat the lie down command while stepping toward the dog if the dog gets up. As soon as the dog lies down back up again. Each

place the dog may not want to listen is if he gets close to his house.

He may decide he would rather leave than do as asked. Places like this present the opportunity to check out the obedience and develop it to a higher level. By doing this it won’t take long and you will have good obedience all the time.

When the dog feels solid then it is time to take the long line off. Start by going through the same routine as with the line on. Begin close and increase the distance as the dog shows he is capable and willing to listen.

This should answer the question about how to get a dog to lie down and stay. However, if the dog has already learned the habit of leaving and chasing stock it is a good idea to leave the long line on him around the stock until his obedience is solid. Be sure to place the dog in a protected area as a long line around stock can become tangled and put the dog in a hazardous position. By asking the dog to trust your leadership skills it is your responsibility to use common sense and keep him out of harms way.

day increase the distance by walking backwards away from the dog and having him lie and wait until he is called. When calling the dog, lean down, pat your leg and use an enthusiastic voice. Express lots of praise and give him a good rub when he arrives as this will increase his desire to listen and participate, The next step is to back away from the dog to approximately 35 feet while the dog remains in one spot. Call the dog part way and then ask it to lie down. If the dog keeps coming step forward use a cap to wave at the dog. This will usually be enough to make him stop while you ask for a lie down again. When the dog lies down let him stay for a few seconds and then call him the rest of the way.

Lots of praise at this point. Each day increase the distance between dog and handler and start fitting in more lie downs. It is also time to start leaving the dog lay for a bit longer each time before calling him.

As the dog becomes more obedient for longer periods of time then start working obedience around places where the dog would rather leave than stay when asked. One

Government taking action on local meat production The Province is providing an update on its response to recommendations from the Select Standing Committee on Agriculture, Fish and Food’s report on improving local meat production in British Columbia.

All 21 of the committee’s recommendations have been accepted by the B.C. government. Since the report was released last fall, the ministry has made progress on implementing the recommendations.

“We are fortunate to have committed local meat producers and processors in communities throughout the province,” said

Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “They are amazing people supporting their local economies and providing food security. I want to thank the committee for its thorough review and for providing a concise road map on ways we can continue to support and strengthen the sector.”

The report provided recommendations on B.C.’s meat producing and processing industries, focusing on industry growth, abattoir licensing and developing a strong, skilled workforce. Progress has been made on several fronts, including:

EXT:png:END EXT

developing and launching food safety and animal welfare training workshops for rural producers and processors, as well as regional health authority inspectors, with $290,000 to the BC Food Processors Association; providing $148,000 to support ongoing work by the BC Association of Abattoirs to provide humane slaughter training for Class A and B abattoirs, and to help develop and improve food safety and sanitation procedures at these facilities; reducing travel time restrictions to one hour between Class A/B licensed facilities and Class E licensed facilities to help alleviate local slaughter capacity challenges and increase local livestock production; seeking public input on new Class D licence regions to help alleviate regional or sub-regional slaughter capacity challenges and increase local livestock production; conducting a comprehensive multi-phase slaughter capacity study for B.C. in collaboration with the BC Association of Abattoirs, which will serve as a baseline for future reviews of the B.C. Meat Inspection program; featuring local meat products as part of the Buy BC program; increasing the ministry’s budget

to support Grow BC, Feed BC and Buy BC initiatives that increase capacity for this sector; improving cross-ministry co-ordination, collaboration and communication; and continuing ministry staff engagement with local governments on their needs for local meat production.

“The committee’s recommendations were based on extensive feedback we received after travelling to five communities and hearing 50 presentations from British Columbians around the province,” said Ronna-Rae Leonard, committee chair and MLA for CourtenayComox. “It is great to see that all of the recommendations have been accepted, and I want to thank all of the local farmers, producers and processors who took the time to speak to us as we looked at ways to strengthen the local meat industry in B.C.”

Thanks

to the Buyers, Bidders and Attendees of Our

ANNUAL WEST COUNTY 4-H ACHIEVEMENT DAY BEEF SALE HELD MONDAY, MAY 27TH IN BEAVERLODGE

The members work very hard each year to present their steers for auction and each and every buyer is appreciated and the buyers of multiple animals deserve an extra “BIG” thanks, for sure!

We would like to recognize those individuals, companies and organizations that purchased steers at the sale; showing their support for both 4-H and our local members.

Horizons Unlimited Travelers Meeting on way to BC South-Central BC, July 11-14 Canada isn’t really known for exporting moto-culture, but the world of Horizons Unlimited is one exception to that rule. Started by globetrotters Grant and Susan Johnson, Horizons Unlimited is, according to its website, “THE premier source for information on motorcycle and overland adventure travel since 1997.” Horizons Unlimited shares that information through its Facebook page, its forum (the HUBB), and in events all over the world, including here in Canada. There are different kinds of Horizons Unlimited events held all over the world, but the most popular here in Canada are the Travelers Meetings and the Mountain Madness rallies.

Travelers Meetings offer lectures and seminars from riders, discussing their experiences on the road or other expertise, but if presentations aren’t your thing, there’s plenty of moto-travelers there to just hang out with. These aren’t adrenaline-charged riding events, but if you want to learn how to hack life on the road, this is a good place to start, especially if you’re into motorcycle vagabonding. It’s a good place to meet similarly-minded people.

This year, there are two Travelers Meetings in Canada, one at Ontario’s Golden Lake Beach Resort May 23-26, and one in Nakusp, BC, July 11-14.

KTM adventure rally!

Although it hasn’t been officially announced, we’ve been told the KTM Adventure Rally will return to BC this year.

It’s a two-day event this year again, with an off-road and a touring route. In the days leading up to the rally, internationally-known adventure riding instructor Chris Birch will be conducting riding clinics, and there are also demo rides.

While it’s called the KTM Adventure Rally, it’s open to motorcycles of all brands. It looks like an absolute ripping good time, and when more details about the 2019 event drop, we’ll share them with you.

As for adrenaline-charged riding events: That falls under the Mountain Madness department.

These events have an emphasis on off-road riding, as a navigation challenge for teams of 2-4 riders. There aren’t any scheduled in eastern Canada this year, but they’ve been held in the past, and will be back. Horizons Unlimited does say this spring’s Ontario meet-up has some riding in the Ganaraska area to provide at least a bit of a feel for what a Mountain Madness event feels like. Meanwhile, there’s one in Nakusp, BC, on July 19-21, following the Travelers Meeting the week before.

Horsethief Hideout Rally Invermere, British Columbia, July 4-7 Horsethief Hideout is a ranch just outside Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia, which is famous for its big rally every July. The Hideout is pretty cool on its own, with a replica Wild West jail, dance hall, fort and saloon. The Memorial rally is an event for motorcyclists to attend in remembrance of lost friends. It started when Hideout owner Gary Oja wanted to put together an event to remember a friend who died in a motorcycle

accident.

It’s a huge rally now, with hundreds of motorcycles showing up to enjoy the area’s fantastic riding (it’s right off the Golden Triangle loop, a 320-km route through Yoho, Banff and Kootenay national parks). But even with all those great roads and gorgeous scenery, rally attendees want to honour friends who’ve passed on, and that’s why the rally ends with traditional memorial bagpipes playing on Sunday morning.

Everyone at the Table! Government of Canada announces food policy Canadian foods are recognized worldwide for the highest standards of quality and food safety. Responsible for one in eight jobs across the country, our food sector is a powerhouse of the economy, particularly in our rural communities. However, more needs to be done to improve our food system. For example, too many Canadians aren’t able to reliably access enough healthy food. Too many children are learning on empty stomachs. And we waste more than 11 million metric tons of food every year, worth nearly $50 billion.

Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, along with Parliamentary Secretary Jean-Claude Poissant, today joined stakeholders from across the food system at the Carrefour Alimentaire Centre-Sud to launch Canada’s first-ever federal Food Policy.

The Food Policy for Canada is an ambitious initiative, the product of consultation and collaboration with Canadians across the country.

The Government of Canada heard from more than 45,000 Canadians, including food producers and processors, experts in environment, health and food security, Indigenous groups, non-government organizations, and community advocates.

The vision for the Food Policy for Canada developed through these consultations is: All people in Canada are able to access a sufficient amount of safe, nutritious and culturally diverse food. Canada’s food system is resilient and innovative, sustains our environment, and supports our economy.

To realize this vision, the Government of Canada is investing $134 million through Budget 2019, which includes new initiatives to help achieve key objectives.

A central piece of the Food Policy for Canada announced today is the creation of a Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council. The Council will bring together the expertise and diversity needed beyond government to address the challenges of today, as well as the future of Canada’s food system. An open and transparent process, that includes letters of nomination, will begin over the summer.

Also announced is the launch of a five-year, $50 million Local Food Infrastructure Fund, designed to support community-led projects that improve access to safe, healthy and culturally diverse food. Starting August 15, 2019, eligible organizations will be invited to submit an application through the first intake period for nonrepayable funding of up to $25,000.

Minister Bibeau also highlighted other Food Policy of Canada initiatives, including: support for community-led projects like greenhouses, community freezers, and skills training that address food challenges and food insecurity in Northern and isolated communities; - a challenge fund to support the most innovative food waste reduction ideas in food processing, grocery retail, and food service; - new funds to help the Canadian Food Inspection Agency crack down on food fraud – the mislabeling and misrepresentation of food products – to protect consumers from deception and companies from unfair competition; and The Food Policy for Canada aligns with the objectives of initiatives across the Federal Government, such as the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, the Heathy Eating Strategy, and the Poverty Reduction Strategy, among others.

Dusty Trails Ranch 16 quarters for Sale

Aug 20, 2019 | Grimshaw, AB

July 30, 2019 | Buick Creek, BC

Here is a quarter of land that redefines the word ‘unique’.

Guaranteed there is only one in all of Western Canada. A quarter section close to urban centre amenities offered by the Town of Peace River, Alberta, just twelve miles away to the southeast. The most southerly portion is currently the setting of a picturesque nine-hole golf course. Tell your friends you liked the course so much you bought it. Preserve it as a working course or convert for personal use.

The Dusty Trails Ranch delivers up a unique combination of real Western Heritage, coupled with an infinite real estate and business investment opportunity. In total, 16 quarter sections of pristine ranch land in an area as remote as you want it to be.

Saddle up and ride the range over your own 2,560-acre spread and feel what pioneer ranchers felt 100 years ago. Dream of a low maintenance ranch that requires no full-time labour? Well, this is it. Bison may be bought as part of the package by private tender.

The quarter has a mature dugout with a surface area of over 4,500 square meters that could be used as a source of water for industrial activity or stocked with Rainbow Trout.

The quarter comes with power. Access is right off the pavement. further east. The perfect recreational quarter to share with family and friends. Starting bid $140,000.

Apply now for AgriStability - deadline July 2 AgriStability is an important tool that can help you manage risks and financial losses due to poor yields, low commodity prices, or rising input costs. AgriStability provides support when you experience a large margin decline.

AgriStability is delivered in Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Yukon by the federal government. The information on this website refers to deadlines and other delivery details for these provinces only.

AgriStability provides support when you experience a large margin decline. You may be able to receive an AgriStability payment when your current year program margin falls below 70% of your reference margin.

Program margin - your allowable income minus your allowable expenses in a given year, with adjustments for changes in receivables, payables and inventory. These adjustments are made

based on information you submit on the AgriStability harmonized form.

Reference margin - your average program margin for three of the past five years (the lowest and highest margins are dropped from the calculation). Your reference margin will be limited to the lower of your historical reference margin or your average allowable expenses for the years used to calculate your reference margin.

Previously, participants with non-calendar fiscal year ends often experienced a significant gap between their fiscal year end and when they could apply for AgriStability. Now you can apply for AgriStability as soon as your fiscal year ends, giving you earlier access to AgriStability benefits.

Register for direct deposit to receive your AgriStability payments directly into your bank account.

Direct deposit is fast, convenient, reliable and secure.
