Conservatives could have ‘significant’ role, says Zimmer

Breakfast Brief WATCHING CANOLA EXPORTS, WHEAT HARVEST AND A TRADE DEAL (FarmLead.com, October 18, 2019) Grain markets are mixed as the complex moves on weather, strong canola exports, wheat concerns, and the signing of the “Phase One” trade deal between the U.S. and China. National Australia Bank recently dropped its estimate of the wheat harvest in Australia to 15.5 MMT, well below the 19 MMT that most other players, including the USDA, are estimating. Dealing with a third straight year of drought, it’s expected that other players will take up Australia’s lost ability to meet the same volumes of wheat, barley, and canola exports of years past.

Conservative incumbent MP Bob Zimmer has been re-elected for a third term in Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies.

Zimmer, first elected in 2011, returns to Ottawa as part of the official Opposition as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals won a minority government, with 157 seats as of press time.

Due to the holiday Monday, U.S. grain exports data won’t be out until later this morning, but we already know that less grain is being moved. More specifically, the Association of American Railroads says that grain moving by rail dropped by 16% in September compared to a year ago. Further, grain movement on the St. Lawrence Seaways for the March to September period is down 10%, namely due to less corn and soybeans moving through it.

That said, where grain demand is optimistically strong is domestically, namely corn for ethanol and soybean crush.

For the former, the Trump administration proposed a new formula earlier this week to boost biofuel demand, but industry and farmer groups have scoffed at the idea. The House Agriculture Committee chairman said that “the EPA’s announcement falls short of the promises made by the President.”Meanwhile, U.S. ethanol production is running a little more than 5 behind last year.

Zimmer’s campaign headquarters in Fort St. John was filled with dozens of supporters Monday night.

Zimmer finished with nearly 40,000 votes, winning 70% of the popular vote. He called the victory bittersweet.

“We know, especially in our resource-rich region, how important it is to have people at the wheel and the government that’s going to have a minority now is going to be the same one that didn’t get a softwood lumber agreement, it’s the same one that stalled on Kinder Morgan,” Zimmer said.

“We finally see LNG moving, and I’m just deeply concerned with the agreements that will be made, the signalling that the NDP and Liberals will help form that majority, at what cost to the rest of us in the west, but

On the weather front, Manitoba, southern parts of the Corn Belt, Minnesota, and other areas surrounding the Great Lakes are expected to receive more rain over the next week. However, freezing temperatures are also expected across said Great Lakes and the eastern Corn Belt will likely kill off any crops not yet mature. For those fields that are ready to combined, they’re going to be tough to get to, but leaving them out over winter isn’t the best idea, especially soybeans. In my experience, the smaller oilseeds – like canola, flax, and mustard, tend to weather the winter a bit better. Looking more long-term, the NOAA is expecting the Northern Plains to have a winter that’s a little above-average on the precipitation side of things.

EU Signaling for Canadian Durum, Canola Exports?

We’ve started to see more Canadian canola heading to Europe, and it’s creating a boost to port activity in Thunder Bay. In the first 10 weeks of the 2019/20 crop year, more than 191,000 MT of canola has been loaded through the Northern Ontario port, nearly 9 times the volume of canola exports shipped out by this time a year ago. Aggregately, through week 10, Canadian canola exports are tracking 2% higher year-over-year with 1.52 MMT sailed.

One of the main reasons for the increase in canola exports is the smaller rapeseed crop out of Europe. A few weeks ago, I suggested that canola prices might find some more legs as we get into the fall/winter seasons. This is a function of both higher canola exports to countries not named China, and some seasonality. On the former though, we know countries like France (and the rest of Europe) are looking for more canola/rapeseed after this past year’s significantly lower harvest. Combine this with the fact that Australia’s canola exports are expected to be lower, Canadian canola exports are best poised to fill the gap here.

The French agriculture ministry just updated its Harvest 2019 numbers, saying that the country’s rapeseed harvest fell by nearly one-third from last year to 3.54 MMT, or a drop of nearly 1.5 MMT. While yields were the same last year, it was the harvested area that also dropped by a third. It’s worth mentioning that Strategie Grains estimates next year’s 2020 harvest of EU rapeseed at 19.3 MMT, thanks to an area seeded bumping up 7% year-over-year to 13.7M acres. Put simply, the opportunity to gain some EU market share for Canadian canola exports is now!

In other crops, the French farm ministry said the country’s barley production this year would top 13.64 MMT, good for a 22% bump from last year’s smaller harvest. This was mainly because of France’s barley yields jumping 13% from last year and harvested area expanding by 9% to 4.76M acres. On the other side of the coin is the French durum harvest. Harvested area of the pasta-making wheat dropped by nearly a third, but yields improving by 22% from last year equated to total durum harvest in the country of 1.566 MMT. This would still be a drop of about 13% of 230,000 MT from last year.

also the rest of the country?”

The Conservatives made significant gains of some 26 seats, up from 95 to 121, and winning 34.4% of the popular vote nationwide. That puts the party in a “significant” position to work with the Liberals, especially on key policy decisions regarding resource development, Zimmer said. He said his hope is the parties can work together to complete projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, advance the liquefied natural gas industry, and make headway on the forestry downturn in B.C. “I think Justin Trudeau and the Liberal cabinet have to look at where it’s going to benefit them to work with us because it’s easy to say before the ballots are cast that we’re never going work with X or Y,” Zimmer said.

“But I think now they have to have a realistic conversation about it, and I hope they do. My biggest concern is if they come out with an announcement that … the NDP are going to prop up that government for four years. If that’s the case, then likely Kinder Morgan is on the table and likely won’t be built. My hope is we can work together on those matters.”

Intuitively, this is also a potential window of opportunity for international players to increase their durum exports to the EU. Worth noting is that, through Week 10 of the 2019/20 crop year, Canadian durum exports are tracking 57% higher year-over-year at 920,700 MT. The Reality of a U.S.-China Trade Deal In Wednesday’s FarmLead Breakfast Brief, I discussed how the U.S. and China reached a “Phase One” agreement to slow down the trade war between them. This included some significantly large purchasing of U.S. agricultural products by China. In reality, the U.S. hasn’t sold more than about $29 Billion of agricultural goods to China, yet President Trump is calling for $40 – $50 Billion in purchasing. Further, Chinese negotiators are adamant about the purchases being at fair-market prices and based on actual demand needs.

The kicker here though is that, if China has to ask its state-owned players like COFCO to buy more American, this is essentially what the World Trade Organization would call “managed trade”, something that’s illegal. The one thing that China probably needs more of than anything right now is protein, and mostly in the form of livestock. Pork prices in the People’s Republic jumped by 69% in September, compared to the same month in 2019. That’s up from the 50% year-over-year jump in August, as China continues to battle the spread of the African Swine Fever.

The benefit of higher protein prices in China is that they’re making their way back to this side of the Pacific Ocean.

Live cattle futures are up nearly 15% since the start of the current month-long rally while futures for lean hogs have jumped about 10% in the past month. With the strength in livestock prices, this could support feed grain prices a bit, but that’ll be a function of whether or not Asia continues to buy animals.

Drug overdoses claim 11 lives in Northeast BC so far Eleven people died of a fatal drug overdose in Northeast B.C. in the first eight months of 2019, with fentanyl detected in all but two of them, according to the latest data from the provincial coroner.

The region continues to see a small trend downward yearover-year alongside the province, which has seen 690 fatal illicit drug overdoses, down 33%.

22nd ANNUAL PEACE COUNTRY BEEF CONGRESS LAKOTA AGRIPLEX, DAWSON CREEK, BC JANUARY 10 & 11, 2020

There have been 47 fatal overdoses overall in Northern B.C. so far in 2019, with 20 in Prince George,

11 in the Northwest, and five more elsewhere in the Northern Interior.

Fentanyl was detected in 36 of those deaths, including nine of the 11 deaths in the Northeast.

In the first six months of 2018, there were 12 fatal overdoses in the Northeast.

The Coroners Service says fentanyl was detected in more than 85% of the illicit drug deaths in both 2018 and 2019.

Males are still the overwhelming casualty and account for 77% of all suspected illicit drug deaths this year.

The cost-benefit of vaccines: bovine respiratory disease Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is one of the costliest health issues facing the beef industry today.

Early producer feedback on SARPAL shows two thumbs up

The first phase of a couple of projects evaluating the Species at Risk Partnerships on Agricultural Lands (SARPAL) program, which comes to an end in March, is showing tremendous producer backing for the initiative. Dr. Dana Reiter, a postdoctoral Fellow at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, conducted the first set of SARPAL producer participant interviews and the results showed “overwhelming support”.

To get a sense of how the program was received across the past 5 years and its performance in southwest Saskatchewan, the South of the Divide Conservation Action Program SODCAP (SODCAP) Inc, who delivered the program for the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association, hired Dr. Reiter, to evaluate the program. The funding for this research project SODCAP Inc. provides is matched by Mitacs, a national, not-for-profit organization that works with universities, companies, and both federal and provincial governments to support industrial and social innovation in Canada.

The evaluation is based on the experiences of producers’ involved in the program.

ing in the SODCAP Inc. SARPAL program in Saskatchewan. Preliminary findings from the interviews show that 100% of producers are satisfied with the programming options offered through SARPAL and particularly the programs they are personally involved in. And most provided feedback on how to make it even better.

ish Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to gain an understanding of their experiences with the SARPAL program.

Reiter will conduct producer interviews in British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba and add the information gained from those interviews, to the interviews already conducted in Saskatchewan.

“Producers especially like the fact the SARPAL program is flexible, not directive, but designed collaboratively with SODCAP Inc. staff and the producer’ themselves,” says Reiter. “And that the incentives are results based, so they will not be penalized if they are unable to meet their targets.”

The team will combine the survey and interview data together to prepare a final report, an evaluation of the SARPAL program in the western and Prairie Provinces, from the perspective of the producers involved in the program. This report will help Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and the local delivery agents in each province, such as SODCAP Inc., Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation, MULTISAR, Cows & Fish and others, improve their programs to better assist producers in protecting species at risk while increasing sustainability, production and profitability.

This month Reiter submits a report, which will help SODCAP Inc. design the second phase of the program to best meet the needs of producers on the ground.

And later this fall Reiter will continue to collaborate with SODCAP Inc. and Dr. Jeremy Pittman of the University of Waterloo, and Dr Lael Parrott of the University of British Columbia, Okanagan, to expand this research for two years, with funding from a Liber Ero postdoctoral FellowReiter spent the summer interviewing 36 ship. Pittman has recently issued a survey of the 42 producers and others participat- to producers involved in SARPAL in Brit-

Although funding for SARPAL through ECCC ends in March, there remains hope the Federal Government will continue to fund a new version of the highly popular and successful initiative.

Serena Reber - a second generation on the farm A second-generation farm woman, Serena Reber returned to the family farm in Woking Alberta in 1995.

“I was a single mother and had just finished getting my diploma in livestock production from Fairview college”.

“I knew as a farmer I wouldn’t be getting rich anytime soon, but I wanted to give my daughter the opportunities and lifestyle that farming offered. I was in no position to start a farm from scratch, so things just worked out for us to join my parents farm.”

Serena’s father Gerald worked off the farm for a seismic drilling company during the winter and spring, so the ladies took care of winter feeding and calving season. “we had up to 150 cow calf pairs at one point”.

From 4-H to the Hereford association, beef co-op, and Beef Congress board; Reber has been involved in most administrative groups related to the industry here in the Peace Country.

“I think farming is coming back to the way things were generations ago.

The new generation seems to appreciate the lifestyle offered by farm life. We are seeing more and more small farms popping up- people who couldn’t farm on the big scale but buy a quarter so they can have a few animals and raise/ grow their own food.”

Faith Collins - agriculture in her own words are more jobs than people so it’s important to do what I can to help out. On the farm the jobs that need to be done are different with each season.

My name is Faith Rose Collins I was born August 22, 2006 in Grande Prairie AB. I am in grade 8 at Elmworth school, there are 65 kids from K-9. I will attend Beaverlodge Regional High School for grade 10-12.

A lot of things I do or help with don’t feel like jobs. I really like to load the dogs load up in the side by side and off we go to check fence, waterers and check cows. I spend a lot of time out with the cows, they are very tame and as soon as they hear me coming the side by side is surrounded by momma cows and calves. I feel I have a good understanding of how our cattle and grain operation works.

I live on a farm SW of Beaverlodge ( the Rio Grande area) with my parents (Clint and Anna ) and twin 19 year old brothers Tyler and Wyatt. We are grain farmers and have cattle.

The last few summers I have been a junior councillor at the Silver River Equestrian camp by Rycroft. I really enjoy working with kids and horses and the people who run the camp have become like family to me.

From a very young age I enjoyed riding in the tractor, combine or grain truck .. some people might not understand that this is fun. Riding in the combine and doing my homework .. having picnics on the floor and lots of time I ended up having a nap, these are good times. I really like to help with all the chores I can. Now that I am older I often make the meals and bring them to the field, or get supper started on days I get back to the house first. I can help move some equipment and vehicles when needed. There

I have just started my 5th year in 4H. I really love working with cattle and the public speaking and judging competitions are close behind. In Nov 2018 I won a heifer from Brooking Angus. I used this heifer as my 4H project and we come a long way together I am so thankful to Brooking Angus for their donation heifer draw and commitment to help junior members. There are so many opportunities with 4H .. it really has a great program .. learn to do by doing and volunteering as often as we can in our communities are things

that we all need to do. There really is always something we can help people with. I have gone to a few regional events and have met lots of kids with the same interests as me. Last Achievement day my steer Elvis was purchased by Rick Wallan, thanks again for your generous support to the 4H program.

I also like to I play sports .. I play hockey on the Beaverlodge Female Bantam Blades team , I play volleyball, basketball, badminton, I also enjoy horseback riding and kayaking, camping and fishing.

I have thought about the Ag industry and a future in the Ag industry... I hope to go to Olds or Vermillion college. I know kids who have gone to these colleges and they have so many good things to say each. I like to follow current events and I see people working smarter not just harder and working together with neighbours-and friends. I think that’s important to know what your resources are and

use them !! There are lots of programs available and it’s good to see that they are being used by farmers and ranchers. It really is a unique industry and changing fast. As much as I want to go away one day for college I plan to make the peace country my home.

This year I am so thankful to have Boss Lake Genetics mentor me. Kyle and Brittany Boss are super hard workers with exceptional cattle and I look forward to going to farm fair and agribition with them. This really is an opportunity of a life time for me.

Thank you for this opportunity to share a bit about myself. I feel so thankful that I live on a farm/ranch and for all the people that have encouraged me along the way. I truly have learned from all the people who have helped me and are helping me , the importance of giving back and helping others by doing lots of small things that make big differences.

Lori Kinee - part of an industry helping people grow “I’d like to say that I’m your fairytale farmwife who cooks and bakes in their spare time, but to be honest more often than not the smoke detector is our supper bell and I am reminded frequently that charcoal is not a food group….I’d rather be outside.”

Kinnee notes she does get to be outside not doing cows, fencing or watering things.

“I enjoy going for walks, gardening or just plain old sitting on my deck and doing nothing. I love to travel and catch a good movie too,” she notes.

“Growing up I was very involved with 4-H. My kids were also in 4-H, and now that they have grown up I like to help clubs with certain events whenever I can. Other things I have done in the Agriculture Industry include coordinating the Peace Country Beef Congress for a couple of years; I have been an ABP zone delegate and spent some years working for AFSC working in the AgriStability, Insurance and Lending departments.”

These roles have given her the opportunity to meet many new and interesting producers in the Peace Country and beyond.

“Many have taught me a thing or two, made me laugh and yes, made me cry.

I am grateful to be part of an industry that provides the most basic of needs to our growing population,” she says.

“I believe the future of Agriculture is full of opportunities. Yes, we have short term issues such as weather, trade, and politics that trip us up, but the foundation that has been laid being hard work and perseverance will continue to move us forward.

As long as producers continue to have the “never give up” mentality, the opportunities for growth await. Information is available in an instant with the internet, technologies are ever evolving. With that however, things are moving at a much faster pace than historically, margins are also narrowing and efficiencies need to be adopted.

Education in any form, communication and collaboration will be key in the future.”

If she could make one thing happen, it’s important to Kinnee to build on to what her parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts taught her and pass that on.

“Therefore, I hope to contribute to the next generation of producers, whether it is my children or my neighbors. I know one thing about this industry; there is always something to learn. I look forward to a quiet life, working with my hands alongside my family and friends. I hope that there is more travelling and learning in my future.

One thing I know for sure is that home will always be where the herd is.”

Now we’re talking about esophageal obstructions Dr. Samantha Deamel Choking in horses is different than humans as it is an obstruction of the esophagus rather than the trachea. Despite this difference, it is still an emergency in equines. The cause that comes to mind most commonly is food acting as a foreign body but there are a multitude of reasons for a horse to choke. Intraluminal causes are things such as food or a foreign body that blocks the opening of the esophagus.

Whole apples that aren’t chewed properly are a prime example. Intramural causes are diseases that affect the wall of the esophagus. If the horse has a mass or abscess that increases the size of the esophageal wall, this decreases the size of the lumen making a smaller passageway for feed material. Extramural are diseases that affect structures close to the esophagus. Again, any sort of mass that grows and pushes the esophageal wall inwards will narrow the opening. The final category is functional. This includes anything that decreases the body’s ability to swallow and pass food down the tube.

Dehydration or decreased saliva production makes the passage of food more difficult and increases the likelihood of food getting stuck. Any drug or disease that interferes with the innervation or coordination of the muscles will disrupt the flow of food down to the stomach. Sedatives decrease the horse’s ability to swallow.

When a horse is choking you will often see signs of panic or anxiety. Commonly they will have their head and neck extended out and be gagging or retching.

You can also see coughing and/or nasal discharge. Sometimes this nasal discharge will be food, other times it may simply be mucous. Continual swallowing and hypersalivation can be seen as the horse attempts to pass the feed down to the stomach. If there is a large obstruction, it can sometimes be seen along the jugular groove.

Once you have determined your horse is choking you should call the veterinarian immediately. When I arrive on farm or the horse arrives at the clinic, I like to give 3 separate drugs. The first is sedation.

My goal is to sedate the horse to the point Committed to friendly, care where the nose is quality to the ground.

This will allow any fluid or feed material to drain out of through the nostrils, rather than down into the lungs. The second drug is banamine (also known as fluinixin). This is an anti-inflammatory and pain medication. This will help reduce the inflammation of the esoph-

agus, which will in turn help allow for the blockage to be resolved and aid in preventing complications from the choke. The third is buscopan. This drug acts to relax smooth muscle. Naturally, the body is attempting to constrict the esophagus to help push the blockage along the gastrointestinal tract. This makes passing a nasogastric tube more difficult and increases the risk of complications. Relaxing the smooth muscle around the obstructions makes pushing it to the stomach easier. Once the drugs have taken effect, a nasogastric tube is placed. Gentle attempts to dislodge the obstruction are made. If the obstruction does not resolve, lavage can be performed to try to break up the food material if possible. In very difficult chokes, endoscopy may be used to visualize the obstruction as well as to assess the esophageal lining and look for causes of the choke.

Complications with choke are a major concern. The longer a horse is choked, the higher the chance for complications. The esophagus is a delicate structure and any damage is severe. If there is any damage, the body will heal it with scar tissue. This tissue is not elastic and will form a stricture, or a narrowing of the esophagus. This predisposes the horse to choke in the future. If a choke is left long enough, there is decreased blood flow to the esophagus around the obstruction and the tissue can develop necrosis and the esophagus can rupture. Not only is the esophagus at risk of complications, but the airway too. The horse is unable to protect the airway and food material can descend through the trachea into the lungs leading to pneumonia.

For this reason I strongly encourage all owners to monitor the temperature of the horse to look for signs of infection. Antibiotics are also often given to protect the lungs from infection.

After care is important to try to prevent another episode of choke. Soaking hay cubes allows the horse to get lots of water as well as allows an easier passage into the stomach while the esophagus heals. A slow transition can be made to get the horse back on regular feed. Once a horse has choked, they are at a higher risk of choking in the future. At the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic, we want to ensure your horse is happy an healthy. If you have any questions or are concerned your horse is choking, please contact the clinic immediately.

Country star Aaron Goodvin returns to his roots

HURRY! OFFERS END %&$&.#&3

Originally from Spirit River, AB Aaron Goodvin is touring with Rascal Flatts set to perform at Encana on October 26. “Growing up in northern Alberta and also a minor hockey player in the area my first memory of Dawson Creek was going to the bread basket.� Goodvin says.

He started taking music lessons in Grande Prairie at the age of 12; both song and guitar later moving to Edmonton to start his band his favorite song to perform is Lonely Drum. “I feel the energy in the room shift and it just elevates when I play this song especially, it’s such a cool thing to see and a dream come true,� he says. “I write songs everyday and have to have a connection to them.�

In 2018 Goodvin won the CCMA songwriter of the year award. “It was nothing short of incredible, I just threw my hat on the ground and hugged my dad.� “I knew I needed to be in the songwriter community and I moved to Nashville 10+ years ago, it is the largest growing city in the US right now and when I moved here it still had the small town feel which I related to at that time.�

Goodvin grew up on 90’s country music being inspired by many artists during that time and gave some advice for aspiring song writers. “Best advice I got was from my dad when he told me why he was the best carpenter was because he just outlasted everyone else. I’ve seen so many come and go and I’ve been doing this for a long time now.�

National Beef Strategy sees global opportunities ahead and meets industry challenges head on for 2020-24 The Canadian Beef Advisors are pleased to release the 2020-24 National Beef Strategy.

The strategy is designed to take advantage of the opportunities facing the industry while simultaneously addressing the challenges.

The development of the 202024 National Strategy has been a dynamic collaborative process engaging all industry sectors and national and provincial organizations. The Canadian Beef Advisors and provincial cattle associations believe a united industry is a stronger industry, and that a stronger industry benefits all those working in it today and into the future.

Substantial progress was made under the 2015-19 strategy and the intention is to continue building on the strengths of existing industry organizations.

“The National Beef Strategy has provided real value for Canadian beef producers; it acts as a roadmap for the groups as they work together. We have set our industry up for success, now we just need to follow through.”

said David Haywood-Farmer, Past Chair of the Beef Advisors.

The National Beef Strategy promotes a united approach to position the Canadian beef industry for greater profitability, growth and continued production of a high-quality beef product of choice in the world. The industry vision, mission and pillars remain unchanged from the 2015-19 strategy, but focus areas and tactics have been updated to reflect the current market and regulatory environment that producers face. The four pillars of Beef Demand, Competitiveness, Productivity and Connectivity provide a framework that supports producer viability.

Anne Wasko, Chair of the Beef Advisors notes “As global demand for all types of protein is growing there are opportunities for those with market access, supplies and a competitive cost of production.” There are exciting times ahead for agriculture as production adjusts to meet demand from a growing middle class in Asia.

The Canadian Beef Advisors consist of elected leaders and staff representation of the seven national beef organizations responsible for policy, marketing, research and sustainability.

They are a diverse group of experienced industry representatives, who are responsible for advancing the strategy with the industry stakeholders, providing recommendations on future direction and reporting results against strategy goals and ob-

jectives.

Young dogs noses and curiosity lead them in many directions during the course of a day.

There is always an element of learning whether it is beneficial or detrimental depends on what they are doing. The more a young dog experiences the better the confidence he will have in life which is always good when it comes time to train the dog. Working dogs can be quite content living in the yard and not bothering any of the stock until one day the instinct is triggered.

This instinct can be triggered by a number of occurrences but it is usually a movement from the stock that kicks it into gear.

When this happens, the dog will no longer stay in the yard or at the house. His working drive and instinct is telling him to go work stock. At this point the dog needs to be contained so he does not have the opportunity to get to stock on his own.

If he does happen to get to the stock, then do not give him any trouble but simply catch him and take him back to the house and put him somewhere so he is unable to reach the stock. This instinct is important as it is what allows us to train the dog.

If we catch the dog and give him heck when he goes to the stock, then his first reaction may be

to not work when we are ready to start training him. The more sensitive the dog the more this holds true as collies really like to please and if they get into trouble they are often reluctant to put themselves back in that situation. So as much as it is our instinct to give them a scolding DON’T. Simple catch them and remove them to a safe and restricted space.

Another reason for not letting dogs go to stock and work on their own is that they develop habits that are for their enjoyment and not necessarily habits that treat the stock with care.

If a dog starts to work on his own he develops his own idea of methods and this rarely ever coincidences with the handlers view point. Once the handler puts rules in place the dog that has worked on his own may deem the guidelines unacceptable and not work under these new parameters. Since there is no way to make the dogs work if they don’t want to the desire to work must be preserved. The best way to do this is to prevent bad habits from developing, as once habits are developed, it is harder to change them than it is to prevent them in the first place.

Applications are now open for the Peace Country Beef & Forage Association agricultural scholarship!

The Peace Country Beef & Forage Association is a nonprofit, producer run group that strives to provide leading edge, credible and locally viable information to Peace Country producers, through our applied research and extension programs. Our vision is to create agricultural systems that are profitable, regenerative, self-sustaining and self-maintaining. We bring together a network of innovative producers to discuss ideas and develop profitable and sustainable ways to produce forages and livestock.

We believe that the sustainability of rural communities in the Peace River region will be

dependent upon a strong agricultural economy. In order to encourage our local youth to pursue careers in agriculture, we have decided to offer a $1,000 scholarship for a student who resides in the Alberta Peace Country, and is studying in an agriculture-related degree or diploma program.

Regional reports also include forage and grazing cost and returns profiles for typical land use supporting the beef enterprise.

AgriProfit$ is a business analysis and research program operated by AF’s Economics and Competitiveness Branch. The primary roles of the program are to: (1) deliver sound business management benchmarks and information, and (2) create applied analysis information, assisting producers in: evaluating their own business’ performance assessing production, management and technology options, and charting their business’ course, in an economically sustainable fashion.

Ultimately, the goal is to provide “better business management information, to knowledgeable business managers, to make better business management decisions”.

Where does this information come from?

Each year, the AgriProfit$ service is offered to Alberta beef producers. Through this service, participating producers gain, directly, valuable management information. Their farm data is then grouped with others in benchmarking and applied analysis activities. The

strength of the program is twofold. AgriProfit$: employs accepted, consistent analysis standards. Individual and “group” results are reliable and broadly comparable covers a breadth of operations, regionally and by business type. Benchmarks and applied analyses address many information and management needs.

AgriProfit$ strength is also in its base of producer participants. Information comes from cattle producers throughout the province adding a degree of realism and practicality to the production, economic and financial analyses results. The same services, information and expertise are available to crop producers under the AgriProfit$ umbrella.

What’s in it for producers?

While participation in the AgriProfit$ program is free-ofcharge, it does require an investment in time from producers.

As it is essential for AgriProfit$ participants to see direct value in return for their time, each receive: a detailed economic analysis of farm enterprises of their choosing, driving at unit pro-

duction costs and returns for their commodities, a financial analysis of their “whole farm” business, revealing financial performance, strengths and weaknesses, benchmark comparables to assess the productive and economic performance of each of their enterprises, and the financial performance of their farm over time.

Applied Analysis and Tools The AgriProfit$ database is used to create “knowledge nuggets” for producers. It supports applied research and analysis into topical production economics and finance issues, ranging from assessments of specific production practices (eg. swath grazing, summer calving, grazing alternatives, feeding alternatives) to business structure issues (eg. optimal herd size, yardage). These are delivered to the beef industry in the form of newsletters. AgriProfit$ Newsletter for Alberta Cattlemen and bulletins.

How can AgriProfit$ help producers?

The link between AgriProfit$ and farm business success can be summed up by two phrases: An AgriProfit$ business anal1. “You Can’t Manage What ysis provides key management You Don’t Measure!” information, helping guide pro2. “Who’s in Control of this ducers to sustainable business success. It’s designed to meaBusiness, Anyhow?” sure so producers can manage.
