The Local Food Infrastructure Fund is a five-year, $50 million initiative ending March 31, 2024. The program is part of the Government of Canada’s Food Policy which is Canada’s roadmap for a healthier and more sustainable food system in Canada. The program aims to strengthen food systems and to facilitate access to safe and nutritious food for at-risk populations.

The fund consists of two streams: The first, entitled, Infrastructure and Equipment Improvement Projects aimed at small community-based organizations will allow them to improve their infrastructure and purchase equipment that is directly related to the accessibility of healthy, nutritious, and ideally, local foods within their community. Applications are now being accepted for projects (August 15, 2019 to November 1, 2019).

The second stream, entitled Projects to Strengthen Local Food Systems aimed at larg-

er organizations, will target groups of community, private, academic and other organizations that collectively have the mission to reduce food insecurity in a sustainable manner by strengthening or establishing a local food system. The Projects to Strengthen Local Food Systems stream is scheduled to launch in 2020. Applicants targeting larger projects may wish to wait for the launch of the second stream in early 2020 to apply. Interested organizations are invited to take part in our online consultation.

Northern Lights College farm residence is ready In addition to campus housing at Northern Lights College rodeo team athletes can also reside on the College Farm located directly across from the Dawson Creek Transfer Station East on Hwy 49.

Approximately 2 years ago students enrolled in residential construction courses re-modeled the existing house on the property to accommo-

date 7 dorm like rooms and common area (living room, kitchen.) Campus security regularly patrols the area.

The farm house is co-ed where rodeo team students can live, and practice on the farm with their competition horses. In addition to the farm there are previous buildings being utilized for hay storage and more. Much development on the farm has occurred with more to complete.

A new horse barn has been built, also by residential construction students anticipated to be completed by end of October 2019.

Newest addition to the farm is an outdoor

arena to be used for practices and other events.

It is important for students to have this option while living on the farm so that there is less time spent on the road travelling, especially over the winter months.

For practices throughout the year the team will also utilize local arena grounds at the Lakota Centre and the DC Exhibition Association grounds.

Stay tuned for the release of the 2019/2020 Rodeo team roster! reporter@dcdn.ca

Harvesting alfalfa hay in September

STAND YOUR GROUND. Lower the boom on your most serious weeds and safeguard the yield potential of your LibertyLink® canola with the powerful protection of Liberty® herbicide. The Group 10 chemistry behind Liberty gives you a unique and highly-effective mode of action that tackles weeds, even if they’re resistant to glyphosate or other herbicide groups.

To learn more visit agsolutions.ca or call AgSolutions® Customer Care at 1-877-371-BASF (2273).

“Weather certainly made it challenging for producers to take off their hay this year,” says Karin Lindquist, forage and beef specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “Because of that, two concerns this season are the threat of winterkill in alfalfa by cutting during the critical growth period and poor forage quality due to overmature forages.”

Alfalfa’s critical growth period is 45 to 60 days before a killing frost, allowing the plant enough time to accumulate food reserves before to winter.

“If hay is harvested during this time, alfalfa plants are forced to pull food reserves from the roots to initiate regrowth,” she explains.

“Alfalfa needs to store enough energy in the roots and crowns to survive winter and use these energy stores for spring regrowth. They will die if unable to do so.”

She adds that daytime temperatures and daylight hours at this time are sufficient for regrowth, so that puts alfalfa at risk for winterkill.

“Waiting to harvest after the critical growth period when daylight hours are shorter prompts the plants into dormancy. Killing frosts are also common after this time, which kills the plants and pushes them further into

dormancy. Forage quality will decrease, but waiting to cut at this time will save alfalfa plants for the next growing season.”

Forage plants that have reached maturity - full flower to seed-set - have lower forage quality than plants that have not reached this final life-stage.

“Legume-grass hay tends to remain higher quality than a straight-grass hay, and overall, nutritional values will be low,” she says.

“Overmature alfalfa hay poses quality problems due to heavy leaf loss, as leaves contain the highest nutritional quality. Without this leaf matter, hay is very stemmy and poor quality. Remember, the only way to know the quality is to get it feed tested.”

To test the hay’s quality, Lindquist says to borrow a forage core-sampling tool from the local county office or agriculture research organization to get the sample.

“A hand-grab sample is not as reliable as a forage probe that gets a sample from within 2 feet - 60 cm - into the bale.”

“Feeding poor quality hay could require grain supplementation,” she adds. “It is possible that adding grain for energy and peas for protein will help cattle better use the hay.”

Alberta milk production in 2018

“The cost of producing a hectolitre, 100 litres, of milk in 2018 was $79.82 - an increase of about 6% from 2017,” explains Pauline Van Biert, research analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF). “The reason for this increase was mainly due to the high cost of feed.”

She says that the price for dairy hay was at an unprecedented high due to availability, quality and a competitive marketplace.

“Farmers looked for other feed sources and subsequently pushed up the price of silage and greenfeed. Feeding one cow for a year was almost $3,400. Feed alone made up just over 40% of the total cost of production.”

“The dairy industry is not a stand-alone industry, but closely linked to crop and hay farmers and market values of feed. Dairy farmers grow about 67% of their own roughage - hay, silage - and only 14% of their grains - barley, wheat, oats. Good quality feed is necessary to maintain the health of the dairy cows and maintain productivity levels.”

Van Biert adds that other factors leading to the higher cost of production in 2018 were: An increase in the cost of electricity for farm use in Alberta.

An added fee for interprovincial milk hauling.

The cost of bedding. Sawdust bedding was hard to source, especially in the north region of the province.

The 2018 Dairy Cost Study also found: Family members increased their labour

hours. Van Biert notes that the agriculture labour market is still tight, but there seems to be a trend of more family members staying at or returning to the farm.

Herd size has increased and average milk production per cow reached an all-time high.

Investment per cow remains stable. “Even though there is some uncertainty due to the world trade environment and the effect on the dairy industry,” she adds. “There is still investment in buildings and technology to maximize efficiencies both in hours of labour and cow health, comfort and productivity.”

Return to equity - gross income less total production cost - decreased significantly, as costs increased and the price farmers received for their milk remained mostly unchanged.

“Demand for milk remained high throughout 2018 and remains positive,” says Van Biert. “Even though there are less producers in Alberta - 509 at the end of 2018 - the industry has been successful in supplying the demand for milk production.”

This publication is the result of dairy farmers participating in the Dairy Cost Study and providing farm information. Farmers receive a detailed analysis about their farm to use in making management decisions looking for efficiencies at the farm. The aggregated information of all participants is compiled, resulting in this Alberta benchmark that is used as a reference for farmers and for those interested in the dairy industry in Alberta.

Breakfast Brief MUCH DEBATE LEFT FOR WHEAT HARVEST, SOYBEAN YIELDS? (FarmLead.com, September 6, 2019) Grain prices this morning are mixed with a big 2019 global wheat harvest pressuring prices while oilseeds are trying to rebound from yesterday. Markets are continuing to look at crop development versus what the weather maps are saying. That said, while the weather is looking supportive for late-planted crops in the Midwest, temperatures are expected to be a little below average around the 49th Parallel according to the latest forecast from DTN. New Month, New Politics?

On the geopolitical front, I’m not going to get into all the details that are happening in the United Kingdom regarding new Prime Minster Boris Johnson and the Brexit situation because it’s categorically a gong show.

Separately, the U.S. and China have agreed that, after a recent phone call, they will resume face-to-face trade talks in early October in Washington, DC. As for Canada, on Wednesday, the former global managing partner of premiere consulting firm McKinsey, Dominic Barton, was named Canada’s new ambassador to China. The government there was quick to remind the new ambassador and Ottawa to “reflect on its mistakes” before heading to Beijing. Put another way, China has offered no sign of new warmth towards Canada on the political front.

While businesspeople often have a tough time transitioning into politics, Mr. Barton is well-versed with China’s elite and politics, after spending many years working with companies and leaders there. That said, my business partner and FarmLead COO/co-founder, Alain Goubau, was at McKinsey for a few years before we teamed up, and based on my conversations with him, this is a good move for Canada and, more specifically, Canadian agriculture.This is because Mr. Barton chaired the Canadian Advisory Council, which had suggested in literally the report named after Dominic Barton, that Canada could move from fifth to second in terms of the world’s largest agricultural exporters.

International Wheat Harvest 2019 Update Next week, we’re going to get a heavy dose of new production estimates. On Tuesday, September 10th, we’ll get a fresh production forecast update from ABARES (the Australian version of the USDA). Then, on Thursday, September 12th, we’ll get both the September WASDE report and Statistics Canada’s data-driven crop production estimates. Last week, StatsCan said that the Canadian 2019/20 canola and wheat harvest would be smaller, but they were expecting more production of barley, oats, and pulses.

Recently, Argentina’s Ag Ministry came out with their estimate for their country’s 2019/20 wheat harvest, suggesting a haul of 21 MMT, which would be a new record. The reason for the increase in the wheat harvest is mainly due to farmers planting 16M acres of wheat this year and average weather. Comparably, the USDA, in the August WASDE, raised their outlook for the Argentine wheat harvest by 500,000 MT to 20.5 MMT. Look at how the USDA forecasted this year’s wheat harvest for other major exporters in their August WASDE report.

On the flipside, Argentina’s farmers are suggesting that they’ll plant more soybeans for their 2019/20 crop, instead of “expensive corn” but also ongoing political uncertainty. For perspective, in Argentina, the cost of production of an acre of corn is estimated to be about 70% more than that of soybeans, mainly because of bigger fertilizer and seed costs. One local analyst is expecting Argentina’s 2019/20 planted corn to fall about 3% year-over-year to a little more than 14.8M acres. Comparably, soybeans are expected to account for corn’s nearly 500,000-acre drop, and see its area climb 1.1% to nearly 44M acres.

Updates on U.S. Soybean, Corn Yields Allendale recently shared the results of its annual yield survey, muddying the waters a bit in terms of what corn and soybean yields are looking like in the United States. The survey did not account for the potential of an early frost but suggested that average U.S. corn yields would come in 167.7 bushels per acre (bpa) and 46.1 bpa for soybeans. This would add up to a total 2019/20 harvest of 13.755 billion bushels of corn and 3.5 billion bushels of soybeans.

INTL FCStone also updated its production estimates this week, pushing average corn yields up to 168.4 bpa while also increasing soybean yields to 48.3 bpa. This would add up to a harvest of 13.809 billion bushels of corn and 3.661 billion bushels of soybeans. As a reminder from a few weeks ago, ProFarmer’s crop tour suggested a much different story for Harvest 2019, pegging corn and soybean yields at 163.3 and 46.1 bushels per acre, respectively.

While it seems like corn and soybean yields and edging higher with some better weather as of late, the fact remains that this crop is late. While there are fewer signs of frost in the long-term forecast for the Midwest, the data shows we’re still 1-2 weeks behind in many places. Digging in, more than 17M acres of corn haven’t hit their dough stage (usually only about 6M acres remaining at this time of year), while more than 10M acres of soybeans haven’t even started setting pods yet!

Overall, it hasn’t seemed like grain prices have done much to account for the late crop, and this is because there isn’t a real production issue yet. Until a frost or weather issue actually shows up and the damage is clear, this market is expecting these estimates to be realized. Matt Bennet from AgMarket.net probably said it right in terms of his takeaways from 2019 , “It doesn’t really matter what kind of start you get to the crop, what kind of weather you have during the summertime, what really matters when it comes right down to it is what are the USDA numbers on these crop reports.”

Ahead of ABARES’ new numbers, Australian brokerage firm IKON Commodities estimates that the Land Down Undaa will produce 19 MMT for their 2019/20 wheat harvest. Back in June, ABARES pegged this year’s wheat harvest there at 21.2 MMT while the USDA’s most recent estimate in the August WASDE was 21 MMT. The smaller wheat harvest in the Land Down Undaa has undoubtedly opened the door for more Black Sea wheat to find homes in southeast Asia.

Do not apply 2,4-D or Lontrel in September due to flower bud initiation. September is a good time to apply Devrinol or Sinbar to control winter annuals.

Strawberry growers should be making arrangements for obtaining clean rye or wheat straw for mulch this fall. Personally walking farmer’s fields to decide how clean - free from weeds - the straw will be might be a good idea prior to purchase.

Apples Stop watering or irrigation to encourage shut down and winter acclimation. Apples will continue to grow if water is available.

Raspberries Prune out spent or fruited canes, as well as weak or diseased canes.

Reduce irrigation this month to encourage hardening.

Consider fall herbicide applications in established plantings some restrictions apply to certain products, such as Casoron, for example.

Saskatoon berries Disease pruning and weeding.

If you are planning to rejuvenate - mow-off - your orchard next spring, do not use Casoron this fall.

Vegetables Remove mature product and cool quickly to ensure maximum post-harvest life.

Field covers can be used to protect crops from fall frosts.

Curing of some crops - potatoes, bulb vegetables, pumpkins - can help in wound healing and post-harvest lifespan.

Fall planting may be done for some crops - garlic, spinach, etc.

Timing varies, as too late can result in winter injury and poor survival.

General Mow grass and weeds around plantings to discourage mice as well as reduce insect and disease overwintering sites.

Pest management and monitoring Monitor insects and control if necessary, to reduce overwintering stages.

Strawberries Good soil moisture must be maintained in June bearing strawberries to ensure maximum branch crown and flower bud formation for next year’s production.

Old weeds should be removed this month. Reducing the amount of foliage and trash will facilitate proper placement of herbicides later this or next month. Cultivation between rows to eliminate weeds, incorporation of straw and aeration of the soil should also be done.

Day-neutral strawberry producers often find irrigation for frost protection beneficial during fall months. Very often producers experience 1 or 2 frosty nights in late August-September followed by weeks of warmer fall weather.

Frost protection has proved invaluable during this brief period.

Water releases heat as it freezes on the plant, thereby keeping the plant parts above freezing.

Protection can be obtained down to approximately -6.6 C. At temperatures of -1 C at plant level frost may cause slight injury to open flowers. Medium injury may occur to open flowers at temperatures of -2 C. Producers should have accurate thermometers stationed throughout their field, especially in lower areas.

Irrigation should commence when temperatures at ground level reach +1 C. Ice may not form immediately. Ice formation of 1 cm in thickness may form without serious damage to the plants. Irrigation should continue until the ice melts off the plants. A thermometer in the field at ground level in a location not frost protected may assist in determining field temperature.

Field warming using irrigation during periods of frost is a relatively inexpensive form of insurance. Much of the year’s income can be wiped out in one chilly night. Straw mulch within the row is also a definite asset. Some producers find that fibre/fabric row covers provide 1 to 2 C frost protection.

End of season checklist for managing late blight

Canadian Grain Commission

“Both industry and the public have increased awareness efforts with the intent of returning Alberta to late blight-free status,” explains Robert Spencer, commercial horticulture specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre.

“No cases of late blight have been reported as the 2019 growing season wraps up, despite favourable conditions for the disease in some parts of Alberta and some spores caught in monitoring traps.”

He recommends that commercial or home garden potato or tomato growers follow these steps to curtail the disease, as repeated outbreaks could impact a number of valuable crop industries in Alberta.

Ensure that plants die down quickly during the late part of the growing season and that can be done mechanically for any scale.

Commercial growers may use topkilling treatments such as a chemical desiccant.

Gardeners should dispose of all above ground plant materials - stems and foliage - whether infected or not at the end of the growing season. Burn, freeze or compost this material. “Doing so ensures that living tissues do not survive the winter and will break down completely, preventing carryover of the pathogen,” He explains. Avoid placing infected materials in uncovered compost piles to prevent any spores that could spread the disease to nearby plantings of susceptible crops. He also suggests covering piles with a tarp until the materials have frozen and are completely dead.

Prevent the survival of infected tubers as they are the primary method of disease carryover in potatoes in Alberta. “Recognize that some of the recently prevalent strains of the late blight pathogen are more aggressive on tubers,” he says. “Carefully grade and sort harvested potato tubers to remove any infected ones.” Commercial seed growers should be prepared to grade seed tubers again in the

spring, and may apply mancozebbased seed treatments to try to protect developing crops from seed-borne late blight.

Culled tubers should be disposed in a way that encourages their breakdown over winter.

Spencer says that they can be fed to livestock or may be chopped, incorporated and buried, or can be placed in covered piles until they freeze completely. Ensure that potatoes do not volunteer - grow in another crop.

The late blight pathogen normally cannot survive away from living tissues. “While the disease can survive for a time on tomato fruit, spores will not carry over on tomato seed,” he adds. “The disease can be introduced on living tomato transplants brought in from areas where late blight survives the winter.”

“The late blight pathogen does not survive or overwinter in the soil in Alberta, so growers should not worry about reinfection by planting in or adjacent to a field where late blight has occurred,” explains Spencer. “That is, provided there are no surviving tubers that could reintroduce the disease through infected volunteer plants.

Rotating between locations is always recommended, whenever possible, to prevent the build-up of other diseases.”

He adds that all growers should take the time to assess the past growing season and the level of risk of late blight infection or reinfection that they will face for the next growing season.

“Determine where the disease may have come from, and put preventative measures in place to protect against infection. It is in everyone’s best interest to manage late blight, as this is a community disease.”

The Northern Horizon, September 13, 2019

Participate in the 2019 wheat surveys Insect technologists with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry and applied research associations are about to do their biggest surveys of the year, and they are looking for wheat producers to volunteer

the use of their harvested fields.

Technicians need 340 wheat fields to survey for wheat midge.

For this survey, technicians will take about one litre of soil from a harvested wheat field. They will

take the sample back to Brooks where they will look at the viability of the midge and see if there are any parasitoids present. This data will be incorporated into the wheat midge forecast map that comes out at the beginning of December. Participating producers will receive a report of the midge numbers in their field at no charge.

The wheat stem sawfly survey is targeting dryer areas in the southern part of the province. Technicians are looking for 125 dryland fields from Highway 12 south and east of Highway 2. The sawfly survey is conducted by counting the wheat stems in four, 1-metre spots

9

along the headland. Technicians will also count the number of cut stems. A percentage of stems cut is the data that will be presented in the wheat stem sawfly map that will also come out the beginning of December.

For timely and accurate insect management information and resources, go to the Alberta Insect Pest Monitoring Network.

Sheep market update

PEACE REGION GRAIN FUTURE PRICES 11:00 A.M. - SEPTEMBER 6, 2019 -

Alberta and Western Canada live lamb markets were quite variable during the first quarter of 2019,” explains Wood. “But, over the last few months the volatility has declined with Alberta prices now trending inline with historical seasonal patterns.”

He says that the estimated live slaughter lamb price is currently averaging over $240 per head, based on a 120 lb. lamb.

“Prices over the last few weeks are about $10 per head lower than the same time a year ago. But, compared to the 5-year average, recent prices are about $15 per head higher.”

For light and heavy lambs or feeder lambs, Wood says that the market has softened from the highs seen during late spring and early summer but remain well above the market lows experienced in December 2018.

As for slaughter rates, Wood says that the year-to-date federally inspected slaughter for Western Canada is up nearly 13% compared to 2018 and 19% higher than the 5-year average.

In Eastern Canada, federally inspected slaughter is down nearly 8% from a year ago.

“For provincially inspected plants, lamb and sheep slaughter is down just over 9% in the west and 11% in the east. Overall, total Canadian lamb and sheep slaughter is down more than 6% compared to 2018.”

He adds that the decline in slaughter mixed with stable consumer demand has supported an increase in lamb and mutton imports this year of more than 6% compared to 2018 - and 15% higher than the historical 5-year average.

“Demand and consumption of lamb continues to be supported by increased foodservice offerings and a growing familiarity among consumers, especially millennials.”

Canada invests in young farmers

“The future of agriculture lies in the hands of the new generation and that is why our government is committed to supporting young farmers. We are proud to support the Canadian Young Farmers Forum and Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers Program – both provide invaluable networking, mentoring and skills training opportunities. We also encourage young farmers to take leadership roles in the sector and share their perspectives to help strengthen our innovative agricultural sector across Canada,”said MarieClaude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.

“The Canadian Young Farmers’ Forum greatly appreciates the governments continued investment in our programming and activities, which is vital to the organizations success. With this financial contribution, we will continue to support Canadian famers, by offering networking opportunities, providing education on topics not found in a traditional classroom, leadership skills development and business management and planning preparedness training to help young farmers succeed in agriculture. The CYFF is pleased

“Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers Program appreciates Agriculture and AgriFood Canada’s contribution to our national event. It is good to know that our federal government sees the importance of recognizing young farmers who excel in their profession and make a contribution to the Canada and the world’s economy. The federal contribution allows farmers from across Canada to meet and share their ideas,” said Carla Kaeding, Program Manager, Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmer Program

the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, supports sector-led activities that identify industry best practices and build the capacity of the sector, advance farm business management, farm safety information and tools, as well as activities which raise agricultural awareness.

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.

Established in 1997, the CYFF’s purpose is to provide a multi-faceted educational and development opportunity for young and beginning farmers from across Canada.

Do Horses Remember A question I am often asked is “Do horses Remember?”. The answer is Absolutely YES! They remember the good as well as the bad.

They remember even if it happened when they were 3 months old, 3 years old or 15 years old.

Whatever we do with them whether it’s to teach them or expose them to something, it is all logged away in their minds for future reference.

If you are the first one to handle a horse, the only one or one of many people the horse will remember every experience and act according to their overall conditioning. If he’s had bad experiences that have created some bad conditioning, those conditioned responses can be changed with the right approach.

However, he hasn’t forgot what happened in the past. The longer a horse has been conditioned a certain way, the longer it will take to change the conditioning. The moment we get near a horse we are conditioning it to something good or bad. We are conditioning it toward a better end result or further from one. The more knowledge and skills we have learned the closer we can get to positive progress.

What does positive progress look like, how do we know we are on the right track? Positive progress or good conditioning can be very different from one person to another and it will relate to what we’ve seen, what we think we know, who we’ve been riding with, what we’ve been told, what we think we’ve been told or think we’ve seen.

Getting on a horse for the first time, for example, is not necessarily positive progress. It could be a very negative experience that created more problems and brace than we gained by getting on.

I explained it this summer by comparing cracking a stock whip. Making the noise is what everyone cheers for, but it is the least important thing about handling a whip. The proper technique is far more progress than noise. Understanding the technique of how they are supposed to work and learning to handle them correctly makes it a work of art that we can continually improve on. Jerking it to make noise has a limit to it and we have already reached the limit. There is nowhere to go using that technique. With horses, softness before, during and after any maneuver is where the value is.

Any maneuver done with brace is far less valuable and has a limit or very low ceiling to where we can go. How and what we do is far more important than the length of time we spend. If we are doing things correctly we can play all day with a horse. If we are

horses and she would be no different. I would just have to do it as good as I knew how to get this mare tamed down and ridden. I was able to get 8 to 10 sessions on her during the 2 weeks in the mountains that autumn and it was time to leave again until the next year. I managed to get her ridden in the round pen and took her out on some nice rides out on the trails and across rivers with the wild sorrel mare leading and 10 people following along. We didn’t see her again for a few years, then she came in with a colt and pregnant. This year marked 8 years since I had started her with the 8 or 10 sessions and she hasn’t been ridden since 2011.

I wanted to do more with her to help her get a bit more time and this year it worked out. I planned to play with her the day before we went out on the trails again, however, that part didn’t work out so I thought in the morning I’d get an hour or so to prep her for the days’ ride to get reacquainted. That didn’t work out either. I was helping other people with their horses or tack and it only left me about 20 minutes to run thru the steps I had taught her 8 years ago. It would have preferred to have a bit more time to reacquaint but that’s all I had. After the 20 minutes she was giving me enough green lights that we opened the gate and headed out.

We left the corral with her yearling colt and 10 clients following. Five minutes outside the corral we had to cross a river so I’d only been on her back 5 minutes when I asked her to step into the river and have the people follow us across and up the other bank. She never hesitated, we were gone all day with the sorrel mare in the lead all through the mountains and she hadn’t forgotten a thing.

I didn’t get the black mare started the same year as the sorrel but I did the next year - 2012. This year 2019 makes it 7 years since she was ridden. I only had 8 sessions at most with her as well. I figured I had time so I also rode her all through the mountains with her little paint 3 months old following us.

She was fantastic. I managed to play with her the night before and then warmed her up a bit the next morning and off we went. I really couldn’t have asked for a better ride on the black mare. With only 8 sessions 7 years earlier and an hour and a half of reacquainting her to the exercises she had learnt.

So, “do horses remember?”. Absolutely! The good as well as the bad. It’s still amazing to me when we get it right how much they will offer us in return.

GLEN STEWART HORSEMANSHIP

doing things incorrectly a minute with a horse is too long. These are some of the things that a horse will remember from their experience with humans.

We just got back from our annual High and Wild learning holiday, adventure where I take groups of people into the mountains 80 miles from the nearest road and we ride, train, play with the horses that live there and are born there year round. It is a learning/holiday/adventure all wrapped into one package. Some people are there to holiday more, some are there to learn more and there is no escaping the adventure part because it’s a lodge nestled in the middle of some of the prettiest part of the Rocky Mountains.

I had a group of 14 amazingly fun people this year and spent 2 weeks exploring and playing with horses. One of the things that happened that they suggested I share is just how well horses remember. Eight years ago, there were two mares that were very wild and extremely hard to roundup.

Each year the horses free range all over the valleys and mountains and we have to find them and do a roundup each year. They can be very wild horses, especially if you don’t get them in each year and handle them. These two mares were very wild and I would sometimes wear out 3 saddle horses a day trying to get them rounded up and into the one and only fenced pasture. I decided that they needed to be tamed so they would be easier to roundup.

They were 7 years old at the time, had never been haltered and lived year round free ranging in the mountains. I managed to get the sorrel mare separated from the other horses and into a round pen so I could get started. She was looking for a way out of that pen and it was like having an elk in the round pen. She was going to be a handful; one of the wildest horses I had started. There was another black mare equally as wild that needed the same help after the sorrel. We often have 80 head of horses rounded up, sometimes more, and we try to handle them all each day if possible. Trim feet, halter break, get them ready to ride and then ride and so on, there is no lack of things to do. We have been doing this now for 18 years. When I say we I’m refer to myself my daughters and my clients that come on this trip from all over the world.

Anyway, back to the sorrel mare - 7 years old, never had a halter on and ready to crawl through the fence or go over it if I made the slightest wrong move. I have a set of exercises, techniques and a program that everyone follows. We use this with all

Benefits of pregnancy testing your cow herd By: Dr. Christa Harder Pregnancy checking season is amongst us with November typically being our businest month of preg checking at the clinic. Cows are home from summer pasture and calves are weaned or in the process of being weaned as we speak.

Which leads to the question is it worth preg checking your cow herd?

Before we decide if it’s worth it or not there are 3 options to choose from: 1.

Preg-checking and culling the open cows in the fall.

2.

Preg-checking and feed open cows separately.

3.

Not preg-checking and feed cows over winter.

Each year presents its own challenges and one of the simple factors when deciding to preg check is how much feed you have or how much feeding an open cow over winter is going to cost you? The peace country seems to be in better conditon feed wise than the rest of western canada however a feed shortage makes preg checking and culling open cows a good option. That being said when there is a feed shortage and a large number of animals are being marketed in fall, prices tend to go down which has already been reflected this year.

Typically cull cow prices tend to be stronger in late winter/early spring therefore option #2 of preg checking and feeding cows separately (adding pounds on a thin open cow in fall) can be an attractive option if adequate feed is available.

There are various other economic factors that come into play when deciding if at all or when is best to market cull/open cows which I won’t discuss in this article. However there is a great decision making tool for determining over winter costs/economics

of preg checking for your specific herd that can be found at the Beef Cattle Research Council’s website: www.beefresearch.ca.

Besides the cost factors preg checking also offers a lot of important herd management information.

Conception rates give you an idea of how reproductively fertile your herd is and may highlight some areas of deficiency in your herd management that could be improved.

Generally in most cow herds that breed for 3 cycles we aim to have a conception rate of 90% or more. Ideally at least 75% catch within in the first cycle. A lot of herds keep bulls with cows for longer than 3 cycles and then one should aim to have an even better conception rate though I find that generally does not happen and rather leads to a spread out calving season that tends to get more stretched out every year.

Some herds due to the area they graze on summer pasture do not have the ability to pull their bulls, so bulls stay with cows till they come off summer pasture. With the sophistication of the ultrasounds we now use pregancies less than 4 months along can be fairly easily aged. This makes early pregnancy testing a good option for these herds since we can help estabilish a cut off and therefore cull cows that got bred too late or would otherwise be considered open had you pulled your bulls. As a disclaimer please note that though we are fairly accurate at determining fetal age in the early pregnancy there is still quite a bit of individual variation in when a cow will calve (give or take 2 weeks).

Identifying the early calvers in your group (the reproductively ideal group in your herd) allows you to select replacement heifers from that group.

Herd reproductive diseases

such as trichomoniasis may be found. Bull performance can also be evaluated when preg checking.

Putting each cow through the chute in fall allows you to identify/treat any health issues, update inventory/replace tags, administer vaccines or deworming and assess body condition scores/condition of each cow. This also a great time for you to discuss herd management with your veterinarian and ask them questions regarding concerns about individual cows.

With the new rules coming into effect December 1, 2018 you will require a valid veterinary client patient relationship (VCPR) to obtain medications from veterinary clinic. Preg checking your herd with your veterianirian is an excellent time to establish or update your existing VCPR relationship.

When booking your herd for a pregnancy testing cows should be minimum 40 days pregnant (40 days since bull was pulled). We also request your chute/handling system be in good working order and safe (if you ever want a vet to come back) and we prefer that cows are on water so their manure is not as dry (making it easier on the cow and your vet to get the job done). Ideally we would like the weather to be sunny and plus 10 °C but highly unlikely this time year.

We ask that you not make fun of your veterinarian when they are as wide as they are tall from all the layers they are wearing to keep warm!

If you have further questions regarding preg checking your cow herd or how to make the experience most comfortable for your veterinarinan please do not hesitate to contact us at the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic!

Considerations when applying a pre-harvest management herbicide

“While pre-harvest management herbicides do not speed-up crop maturity, they help maximize crop yield and quality potential,” explains Neil Whatley, crop specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre.

“Application of these products can also assist with controlling perennial weeds and weed escapes from the growing season.”

These products are categorized as either a desiccant or a pre-harvest weed control herbicide.

Desiccants are recognized as harvest aid products. Desiccants are commonly contact herbicides, and their mode of action is generally fast acting.

He says that application of these products hasten dry-down of a

crop that is already mature as well as drying the vegetative growth of weeds, ensuring earlier and easier direct combining of a standing crop.

“Glyphosate, on the other hand, has a slower, systemic mode of action that allows it to translocate through a plant. Therefore, glyphosate is the preferred pre-harvest herbicide applied to control perennial weeds like quackgrass and Canada thistle.”

Desiccants and glyphosate are registered to be applied when the crop’s seed is at physiological maturity. Product labels explain the correct crop stage for application as well as specifying the appropriate water volume used with a spe-

cific herbicide.

“Application earlier than at proper seed maturity can negatively impact yield,” says Whatley.

“Exceeding the product label rate or applying these products earlier than at the recommended crop stage can exceed a product’s maximum residue limit (MRL).”

“An MRL, established through research during the herbicide’s registration process, is the legal amount of herbicide residue allowed in harvested grain. Heath Canada assures that MRLs are based on residue amounts that are significantly below a level that would negatively impact human health.”

Crop Protection 2019 contains

product label guidelines, and the website Keep it Clean features a useful drop down menu for various crops and pre-harvest management herbicides.

Whatley adds that Canada is a major grain exporter, and importing countries can set their own grain import MRL level, which may not be the same as Canada’s level.

“Other end-users, especially those purchasing barley for the malt market, or oat millers, have their own MRL regulations or do not allow pre-harvest herbicides to be used at all. When uncertain, growers are encouraged to consult their grain buyer prior to pre-harvest herbicide application.”

Maintain obedience

Keeping the level of obedience up on a dog requires regular routine maintenance and work.

Teaching the dog to understand what is being asked for is the first step to a working dog but once he understands and responds to the request from the handler then it takes everyday practice to make the dog proficient at his job. If the

The denser the bale, the better the feed.

dog is being worked every day and the handler uses due diligence to keep the dog correct and listening well then a standard as well as growth will be achieved. One pitfall with daily work is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to let the dog get away with incorrect behavior if the job still gets done. If the dog is not corrected when the mistake occurs it will not take long before he believes this is the action the handler is looking for.

Dogs are very similar to people in the fact that their skills can become rusty if they are not worked regularly. Focusing intently on livestock while still keeping an ear tuned to listen for instructions from a handler is not always an easy job. Dogs get out of practice for listening. This can be easily seen if the dog has not been working for a length of time and is sent a long distance after stock. He may not listen to the handler until he gets the stock back in the

handlers vicinity. The handler can find this annoying as the dog may have been quite proficient at doing the job and listening previously. It pays to realize that the dog might not be deliberately ignoring the handler but rather just so tuned into the stock that he has forgot to listen for the handler. Preventing this scenario is easily solved by checking in with the dog in a couple of places before he gets too far away. This will get him tuned into the handler and keep his ears keen while doing the job.

Taking five minutes a day to spend on a structured training session where the focus is solely on the dog and whether he is listening can keep the obedience skills at a higher level than when only using the dog for work and chores. Bottom line is that obedience takes regular practice to keep it in good working condition.

FORGE AHEAD The Roll-Beltâ&#x201E;˘ 560 Round Baler produces bales that are 39% more dense than the competition. A denser bale is naturally higher in crude protein and feed value, while providing improved palatability. It adds up to higher quality feed that can increase average daily gain in your cattle.

Dates set for the 2019 Western Canada conference on soil health and grazing Nora Paulovich, manager of North Peace Applied Research Association (NPARA) and conference chair announced dates for the 2019 Western Canada Conference on Soil Health and Grazing. The combined conference will take place on December 10, 11, and 12, 2019 at the DoubleTree West Edmonton Hotel The Western Canada Conference on Soil Health and the Western Canadian Grazing Conference were combined into a 3-day event in 2017. A number of Alberta applied

research and forage associations organize and present these popular events with help from partners in industry and government. The conferences in 2015 and 2017 featured, among other top researchers and soil health practitioners, Gabe Brown of Bismarck, North Dakota. Paulovich said that Brown will return for this event.

Other speakers and panelists are being added and the full agenda will be released soon. Registration information is also forthcom-

ing. Farming and ranching for soil health enhances biodiversity and increases biological activity, both of which are absent in current production technology. In both cases integrating plant diversity, keeping the soil covered, maintaining living roots as long as possible, and minimal soil disturbance leads to reduced crop inputs, greater infiltration and water holding capacity, and a myriad of environmental and social benefits. Soil health is greatly enhanced when practiced in conjunction with animal agriculture.

“Gabe Brown is maybe the best at cropping and livestock integration” notes Paulovich.

The 2019 venue is larger than the previous location; both the 2015 and 2017 events sold out and turned registrants away. Those interested in the conference can find updated registration information at npara.ca and absoilgrazing.com Contact: Nora Paulovich: nora@ npara.ca

KEEP KIDS SAFE.

Make sure you know and follow these school bus safety rules for motorists. It’s not only smart; it’s the law!

Yellow Flashing Lights signal that the bus is getting ready to stop and load or unload children. This means you should slow down and prepare to stop.

Red Flashing Lights & Extended Stop Arms signal that the bus has stopped, and children will be entering or exiting the bus.

This means you should stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn and the bus resumes moving.

As always, be alert and watch out for children whenever you are behind the wheel.

High feed costs again in 2019 have many producers wondering about the economics of overwintering their cows. Ted Nibourg, farm business management specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre, looks at the economic factors when developing a feed strategy for this winter.

“The question,” says Nibourg, “Is it even feasible to keep cows? Some are liquidating their entire herds. Others are culling heavily, and many are trying to find economical ways of maintaining them.”

He says that the two main factors to consider in developing feeding economies are price and availability of feed.

“One factor to consider this winter will be the availability of quality forage. Parts of the province experienced drought again this summer while others suffered the other end of the spectrum. The wet areas of the province had difficulty getting their hay off dry and many producers resorted to putting their forage up as silage or haylage. This tends to solve the supply dilemma locally, but it greatly increases transportation costs to areas of reduced supply as much of what is being trucked is water.”

To arrive at daily feed costs, Nibourg ran some rations through CowBytes to add perspective to feed price variations, and its effect on a producer’s bottom line.

“The rations assumed 1,400 pound cows at mid-pregnancy. The barley-straw ration priced barley at $5 per bushel and barley straw at $50 per ton. The result was a ration that came to $2.20 per head per day. With a straight grass hay ration for hay priced at 8 cents per lb., the daily cost increased to $2.75 per head. Hay priced at

10 cents per lb. jumped the daily cost to $3.40 per head. With hay at 12 cents per lb., the daily cost bounced up to $4.10 per head. “ Nibourg then ran the numbers through Rancher’s Risk and Return to provide insight into the effect varying feed prices have on a producer’s bottom line.

“Using a 100 head herd with a weaning percentage of 85%, it assumed that 650 lb. steer calves averaged $210 per cwt and 600 lb. heifer calves averaged $190 per cwt. The feed costs for the barley-straw ration amounted to 53% of the total production costs for the herd and resulted in a gross margin of $13,250. A hay ration priced at 8 cents per lb. increased feed costs to 58.5% of total production costs and reduced the gross margin to minus $250 - basically break even. Hay at 10 cents per lb. jumped feed costs to 63.5% of the total, resulting in a negative $15,131 gross margin. Feed costs increased to 68% of total production costs for hay priced at 12 cents per lb. resulted in a loss of $30,350.”

“Feed costs this winter are basically charges against next year’s calf crop,” he explains.

“Break evens in the fall of 2020 for this example herd on a barley-straw ration, comes in at $176 per cwt for next year’s calves. The herd on 8 cent per lb. hay ration would need $202 per cwt to break even. At 10 cents per lb., break evens are $229 per cwt. Break evens for 12 cent per lb. hay are $258 per cwt. This analysis underscores the necessity of managing feed costs for a cow-calf operator. Feed costs are by and far the largest component of the production costs in a cow-calf operation.”

The Northern Horizon, September 13, 2019

BC gold rush camels In 1862 twenty-five camels travelled from the rocky deserts of Central Asia to Victoria, BC to be sold as pack animals for the 2nd Gold Rush in the Fraser River Basin of the Interior British Columbia.

Frank Laumeister and Charles Gowan purchased 23 of the two humped beasts for $6000.00 and moved them by barge to New Westminister, BC. Two of the camels went missing in Victoria while they were housed behind the Esquimalt Saloon and Brewery, there is no documentation to the fate of the two.

It was hypothesized that the camels would replace horses, mules, stage coaches, and oxen for transporting prospector supplies.

It was thought that the camels would exceed the other animals by performance because they could travel for 50-70 kilometers per day, 6-10 days without water, carry 600 lbs each, and were well adjusted to the rocky desert’s both cold and hot climate.

By that reasoning it seemed like a brilliant idea however the reality was much different. The camels were temperamental and excitable creatures who often bit and kicked at anything that moved, and they were extremely foul smelling.

Their feet suffered over the rocky terrain because they were accustomed to sand even with makeshift canvas and rawhide booties.

It is famously said by a unknown prospector that the camels “would eat anything from a pair of pants

to a bar of soap” but they survived by eating grass and sages along the route travelled.

The camel train first headed North to Lillooet, BC by the Port Douglas Trail then onto the Caribou Wagon Road to Barkerville, BC. It was hell have no furry when horses and mules caught sight of the camels causing many distasteful fatal accidents to both man and beast where stampedes were common. Frank Laumeister was often threatened by court action by others using the trails.

Not long after within four months BC Supreme Court Judge Matthew Begbie issued a Government order outlawing the camels from the Caribou Trail.

It was in 1863 that the camel train was retired completely. Some had already died in blizzards, from injury/disease or falling off cliffs.

Some were sold as pets or farm work animals, and one was shot thinking it was a grizzly bear. It was also rumored that many were either released purposely or escaped into the wilderness with reported sightings as late as 1910.

Many fates befell the camels and the last known surviving one died in 1905 on a farm in the unincorporated settlement called Westworld located in the interior of BC, formally known as Grande Prairie.

Today in Lilooet, BC over the Fraser River is a Historical site on Highway 99, The Bridge of 23 Camels stands in memory of this peculiar event from our Provinces past. reporter@dcdn.ca
