She explains that between October 1 and March 31, is the time when the elm bark beetles - responsible for spreading the deadly DED fungus - are not active. Elm bark beetles feed on healthy elms, breed and overwinter in dead and dying elm trees.

‘If elm trees are pruned between April 1 and September 30, beetles will be drawn to the scent of the fresh pruning cuts, potentially infecting an otherwise healthy elm.’

She adds that having elm trees pruned properly is important and that STOPDED recommends that all trees be pruned by a professional arborist such as an ISA Certified Arborist.

‘They will determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance and safety of your trees. Improper pruning, topping or removing an excessive amount of live wood is not recommended, as this type of pruning will weaken the tree’s structure and shorten its lifespan. It is essential that all pruned elm wood be properly disposed of by burning, burying or chipping by March 31. And, it’s illegal to store elm firewood since it could be harbouring elm bark beetles.’

‘With the annual ban lifted, it’s time to start taking the dead wood out of your elm trees,’ says Janet Feddes-Calpas, executive director of the Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease (STOPDED).

‘To help eliminate elm bark beetle habitat, elm sanitation is essential to an integrated Dutch elm disease (DED) prevention program to keep Alberta DED free.’

In August, 2020, DED was confirmed in 2 elm trees in Lethbridge. They were removed immediately from a public boulevard and disposed by the City of Lethbridge. With the removal of these infected trees, Alberta continues to have noninfested status.

Alberta continues to be pressed from its borders with Saskatchewan and Montana, both of which are battling the disease.

‘There is no cure once an elm is infected with DED, and it must be removed and destroyed immediately,’ she says. ‘We must stay vigilant to keep our elms healthy. DED can be prevented.’

For more information, call the STOPDED hotline at 1-877837-ELMS or go to the Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease webpage. To find an ISA Certified Arborist, go to http:// www.isaprairie.com/. DED is a regulated plant pest in Canada under CFIA’s Plant Protection Act.

The Northern Horizon, October 16, 2020

NLC rodeo team What’s a rodeo team without rodeos to compete in? For the Northern Lights College Rodeo Team, that’s a question they will answer this year as they begin their third season. Though it’s possible there will be a CIRA season in the spring when the second half would typically start, there will be no sanctioned rodeos for the remainder of fall. Still, the 2020-21 team has been training for two the past two weeks and is committed to practicing this fall and being the best they can be regardless of competition.

This year’s team has eight members, the most in the three years (the 201920 team had six members). The college was originally expecting 12 cowboys and cowgirls to rope and ride for the team, but the pandemic interfered.

Still, an increase of riders during this strange year is a success all the same.

Returning from last season are Keaton Collett, of Beaverlodge, and Cole Harris, from Vancouver Island.

They are the team’s 2019-20 All Around Cowgirl and Cowboy of the Year, respectively. Collett has competed in Peace Region rodeos all her life, and is passionate about break away roping and bringing roping events to the women’s side. Harris is a bull rider, who competed in the PBR Alpha Bull event in Dawson Creek last year, his first ever pro-rodeo event. He also enjoys steer wrestling.

Joining Cole this year is his brother Justin Harris, who will compete in bull riding, team roping, tie down roping and steer wrestling. Tyler Bondaroff of Dawson Creek is in her first year of school at NLC but second year on the team, as she competed as a senior at DCSS last year as part of the dual-credit program. Tucker Esau will compete as a high school senior as a dual-credit student with NLC this season.

Rounding out the team are Lexi Snydmiller of Farmington, Murray Hughes of Farmington, and Tianna Tiernan. Rod Keith and Clayton Moore will coach the team, with most of the practices taking place on Moore’s ranch near Pouce Coupe.

In addition to its five daily riding sessions, the team’s cowgirls will compete Friday nights at the Lakota Agriplex in Dawson Creek in bull riding. Overall, this fall will be a busy one for the team even though they won’t be competing.

“The practice schedule alone has them on animals way more than in previous years. That, plus the fact that a lot of the students are taking classes online right now, means the team has a flexible schedule and lots of time to spend at the ranch and on the farm,” said Ashley Pannozzo, NLC’s social media specialist.

Breakfast Brief

Carcass weights and slaughter volumes

WILL THE USDA SET THE SUPPLY RECORD STRAIGHT? (FarmLead.com, October 9, 2020) Grain markets this morning are all green in a risk-off start as the trade awaits the USDA monthly WASDE report, published today at 11AM CST. Going into the report, expectations are that we’ll see some smaller grain stocks, reflecting the smaller numbers previously reported by the USDA in their quarterly assessment, which was published just last week. Given the amount of technical buying going on in the futures trade, it’s very possible we could see some wild swings in the market today after the USDA releases their October WASDE report.

‘Canadian steer carcass weights have been trending in line with the long-term average over the last 12 weeks,’ explains Wood.

‘Seasonally, steer carcass weights are stable through the first quarter, then decline to a low in late Mayearly June before peaking in late October-early November.’

In a batch of good news for the agricultural industry, the UN’s World Food Programme was awarded this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing the incredible fact that they provided food for 100 million people last year. This is fairly important, especially when you consider that global food prices are up 5% year-over-year and 2% higher month-over-month, according to the UN’s FOA food price index.

It’s interesting, however, that with COVID-19 pressuring the food supply chain this year, and food itself becoming more expensive, it’s worth noting that, for the first the 20-year history of Gallup Poll, Americans voted farming and agriculture the top industry in the economy!

Low-Protein Wheat Prices on a Tear

Wheat prices have been acting a bit wild this week on the futures board as speculative money piles into the bullish pressure that the lack of rain is creating. Arlan Suderman of StoneX noted for us yesterday the recently-planted (or will be planted) U.S. HRW wheat crop is facing its driest conditions since 1979!

In that vein, this week, Chicago SRW wheat prices pushed up above $6 USD/bushel, the first time they’ve done so since July 2015! This has translated well for those Canadian producers of low-protein wheat, as indicated by where CPS wheat prices are currently sitting in the Prairies.

Speaking of wheat and the lack of moisture, Argentina continues to deal with their own dry issues, and with that challenge, it was announced this week that the Argentina government has approved a GMO wheat variety from biotech firm, Bioceres. In doing so, Argentina becomes the first country in the world to approve GMO wheat, which is something that’s been poo-pooed on many times in the past by many countries/consumers. It’ll be interesting to see how the world reacts to this decision, especially Brazil since the bulk of their wheat imports come from Argentina.

USDA Gives Us Another WASDE Report

Going into today’s WASDE report, grain markets already have a good sense of where we ended the 2019/20 crop year in terms of supply, but there are still questions as to just how much corn and soybeans American farmers will bring to market with this year’s harvest. Going into today’s WASDE report, the average guesstimate is that U.S. corn and soybean yields will be 177.7 and 51.6 bushels per acre, respectively. This is down from the 178.5 and 51.9 bpa printed by the USDA in the September WASDE. As a reminder, that report, from a month ago, was friendly for grain markets, largely because of the yield reductions – might we see the same today?

Something to consider, however, is that the market is already pricing in these smaller yields, thus making harvested acres one area that traders will be looking at. The other will be on demand, especially exports, which, for U.S. corn and soybeans, has been pretty strong so far. In Monday’s Breakfast Brief, I dug into the current record pace of U.S. soybean exports, something that the USDA said yesterday is still going strong. More specifically, yesterday, the USDA reported nearly 2.6 MMT of soybean exports sales, which was slightly above expectations. For corn, export sales of 1.23 MMT was within expectations, as was U.S. wheat export sales of 530,600 MT. But soybeans continue to steal the limelight, largely because of the export sales volumes to date.

Quite literally, since the beginning of September (or the start of the U.S. 2020/21 crop year), 40.7 MMT of soybeans (or nearly 1.5B bushels, if converting metric tonnes into bushels) have been bought by international buyers. This is nearly TRIPLE what had been bought by this time a year ago and, for perspective, this amount of sales wasn’t reached last year until May 11th (yes, just 5 months ago, or 8 months into the 2019/20 crop year!).

The one asterisk here is Brazil, which is facing some of their own dry conditions, just as their soybean Plant 2020 campaign begins. Nonetheless, CONAB – Brazil’s version of the USDA – is forecasting a new record soybean harvest of 133.7 MMT, or up 7% from last year’s 124.85 MMT, which is the current record. Further, Brazilian soybean exports, as estimated by CONAB, are also expected to be a record in 2020/21 of 85 MMT, or up nearly 4% from 2019/20’s shipments. For comparison, last month, the USDA estimated Brazilian soybean production and exports at 133 MMT and 85 MMT, respectively.

He says that carcass weights rose in late April following COVID-19 disruptions that significantly reduced weekly beef processing capacity over a 7 week period. During a 3 week period at the beginning of May, steer carcass weights rose 28 lbs to 926 lbs, above average for that time period.

‘Western Canada slaughter volumes recovered with weekly volumes over the last 4 months, routinely exceeding weekly slaughter volumes from a year ago,’ he says. ‘As weekly slaughter rates returned to pre-COVID-19 levels, carcass weights declined to the long-term trend by the beginning of July.’

For the week ending September 19, 2020, steer carcasses averaged 938 lbs, up 19 lbs from the previous week and 15 lbs higher than the 5-year average.

‘This increase in weekly carcass weights should be monitored but market conditions, backlog and lift times are factors,’ he notes. ‘Year-to-date, steer carcass weights are averaging 904 lbs, one pound higher than in 2019 and 9 lbs higher than the 5-year average.’

Western Canada cattle slaughter to mid-September is 1.687 million head, 6.4% below 2019 but up 6.7% compared to the 5-year average.

‘Year-over-year, steer slaughter is down 3.7%, heifer slaughter is down 1.6%, cow slaughter is down 24%, and bull slaughter is down 27.2%,’ he adds. ‘Canadian beef production, to the week ending September 19, is down 5% at 1.86 billion lbs compared to 2019.’

Farm diesel prices and consumption ‘Typically, Alberta crop producers will spend approximately $15 per acre for their fuel requirements over the duration of a crop year,’ says Ryan Furtas, market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. ‘With just a few exceptions, the per acre fuel cost amounts to a per acre diesel cost, since nearly all farm machine engines burn diesel fuel. The $15 per acre fuel cost is somewhere between 5 or 10% of the crops total variable input cost.’

The per-acre cost of fuel is impacted by the price per litre of diesel as well as the amount or volume of fuel that is required on a per acre basis.

‘While the price of diesel depends a lot on crude oil values,’ he adds, ‘the amount of fuel depends a lot on the machine and also the environmental conditions - weather - that a producer encounters, especially during spring planting and fall harvest.’

Furtas notes that diesel prices in the spring of 2020 were as much as $0.25 per litre less compared to the spring 2019. Table 1. indicates that fall 2020 diesel prices remain lower compared to fall 2019 by 9 cents per litre.

Table 2. shows the impact that $0.09 per litre drop in diesel price has at the per acre level,’ he explains. ‘Using a dry acre diesel consumption rate and the 2020 cost per litre amounts to a $3.34 per acre fuel cost, compared to the 2019 per dry acre diesel cost of $3.68 per acre. The cost difference between the 2 years amounts to a decrease of $0.34 per acre.’

Table 2. Fuel cost comparison of dry versus tough conditions with 2019 and 2020 diesel prices In addition to lower diesel prices, the 2020 harvest so far has had warm and dry field conditions.

Threshing dry grain and oilseeds consumes much less fuel as machines work more efficiently than when grain and straw is damp or wet.

Furtas uses harvesting wheat as an example.

‘In standard dry conditions, and approximate fuel consumption rate is a simplified estimate of 3.79 litres per acre, or 1 U.S. gallon per acre. Compared to harvesting wheat in damp, over 17%, conditions where it can consume approximately 5.68 litres per acre, or 1.5 gallon per acre. Not using the extra 1.89 litres per acre, or 0.5 gallons per acre, results in keeping the fuel budget in check.’

‘Table 2. details the potential savings for a producer when harvesting in dry conditions,’ he adds. ‘Using the 2020 diesel cost of $0.88 per litre at the dry wheat acre rate of 3.79 litre per acre, puts the cost for 2020 at $3.34 per acre.

Compared to a damp acre in 2020, that would cost $5.00 per acre based on the 2020 diesel price. The reduced volume of diesel required because of dry conditions amounts to $1.66 per acre savings.’

He notes that the savings from using less diesel due to dry conditions, $1.66 per acre, is considerably higher than the saving from a 9 cent per litre drop in price, or $0.34 per acre, not to mention, far fewer headaches.

‘The double whammy of lower prices and consumption rate results in an approximate $2.00 per acre reduction and keeps fuel costs within the predicted cost range,’ he explains.

‘More impactful is that it helps improves the per acre profit margin producers strive for, and goes to show that farmers can absorb an increase in the price of diesel much easier than an increase in consumption of diesel. Of course, a year where both are lower comes as significant benefit to a producer’s variable cost.’

Managing pesticide waste

canadian Grain commission

A biobed provides a safe and effective solution to manage pesticide waste disposal on a farm. It has the potential to remove up to 98% of active ingredients from herbicides, insecticides and fungicides from the water used to rinse sprayers and containers.

A few years ago, the late Dr. Claudia Sheedy, researcher with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, approached Farming Smarter about her work involving biobeds.

‘She was interested in extending her research and getting it out on farm,’ explains Jamie Puchinger, assistant manager of Farming Smarter. ‘She had been working with other researchers across Canada to study and evaluate biobed effectiveness and longevity.

They felt at that point, they had enough science backing to get these implemented on the farm.’

In 2019, the 3-year project, Incorporating Pesticide Rinsate Biobeds, began with Farming Smarter building a biobed system on its research farm to biofilter all the rinsate generated through its research plots and spring applications. The project’s first goal was to biofilter 100% of the rinsate used by the applied research association by 2020.

The second component of this project was to make it easy for farmers to copy a template and build a biobed on their own operation to reduce water contamination by pesticides.

‘And, one of the ways that we thought we could do that was by creating a mobile unit as a demonstration and that farmers could borrow,’ Puchinger adds.

The Farming Smarter team built one on a tow-behind trailer this past winter to use for demonstrations and for producers to use as a template for their own systems. A local irrigation company also created a biobed system kit containing most of the components needed.

‘If a farmer is interested in creating one of these biobed systems on farm, they can pick up our trailer, take it home and use it to design their system,’ says Puchinger. ‘They can see how pieces are installed, how the plumbing works and how all the different features work.’

Puchinger expects interest in this system will grow once harvest has come to an end and producers have time to see how it works.

As more consumers want to know how their food is grown, she says that biobeds can add value.

‘Using a biobed shows how farmers go above and beyond standard requirements because we care about the environment. We are showing how producers are being sustainable and responsible with the products we use.’

Funding for this project was provided by the Governments of Canada and Alberta through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership under the Environmental Stewardship and Climate Change Group Program. In Alberta, the Canadian Agricultural Partnership represents a federal-provincial investment of $406 million in strategic programs and initiatives for the agricultural sector.

Veterans Memorial Gardens The Canadian Motorcycle Tourism Association is the organization building a project with purpose in Grande Prairie Alberta Canada known as Veterans Memorial Gardens + Interpretive Centre. www. veteransmemorialgardens. com On September 18th, 2020, our association and its project benefitted from a tree planting day spearheaded by Tree Canada and volunteer crew Pembina Pipeline.

We had ten Pembina employees take part in the planting, and we were joined

by Brandt Tractor’s sales Manager Dave M who ran the skid steer and augers, Brandt employee Mark C, Kevin O from Wetaskiwin and Jason L and his dog Denver from McLennan and young Zach S - a 16 and a half year old volunteer and Susanna who

brought us some raspberry canes and spent a lot of time on the watering hose.

The transformation of this sacred space in 8 hours was nothing short of amazing.

The edible trees and shrubs that were planted will be looked after by Greenblade Landscaping. They have agreed to mentor us and make sure that our trees get the best chance of survival possible!

It takes a community to see projects like Veterans Memorial Gardens & Interpretive Centre through to fruition, and we are grateful for a community that steps up when we need them!

their significant contributions to Canada as tourists, volunteers and community leaders.

MISSION STATEMENT: The Canadian Motorcycle Tourism Association believes that our heritage, history and tourism are natural partners in growing better communities. Our relationships with partnering organizations allows us to contribute to the well being of our veterans, youth and families in the communities we live and work in.

Check your dugouts this fall ‘The fall inspection should start with a check of the area that feeds into the dugout,’ says Dan Benson, water specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

‘Make sure this area is free of debris that might flow into your dugout. This area should be mowed and kept clear of trees and weeds.

A properly graded, mowed grassed waterway is an excellent best management practice that can reduce turbidity and nutrient-rich water from entering your dugout. Not only will it improve your water quality, it will extend the life of your dugout.’

He says that a well maintained dugout perimeter allows for greater access to regularly visually inspect the dugout itself.

It might also deter native animals, such as muskrats, from feeling at home in the dugout.

Tree growth should be also be discouraged near the dugout as leaves falling off deciduous trees will add nutrients to the dugout, and that will contribute to poor water quality.

Deciduous trees should be kept back 165 ft, or 50 m, and conifers should be no closer than 65 ft, or 20 m.

If the dugout has an inlet structure such as a gated culvert, Benson says that it should be inspected to confirm that it operates correctly.

‘If you don’t have a method of controlling the flow of water into your dugout, you might want to consider adding this feature.

The ability to choose what water enters your dugout is an important management tool that will improve your water quality and the lifespan of your dugout.’

He adds that during the 2020 growing season, many areas of Alberta received higher than normal rainfall events.

‘Because of that, many dugouts that did not have the ability to prevent nutrient rich inflow during these events have had deterioration in water quality. Nutrient rich water is a major factor in algae and cyanobacteria blooms.’

He suggests these next steps: Inspect the aeration system. It introduces oxygen into the water and enhances the natural biological activity in the dugout.

Confirm that the pump is working, and remove the aeration line by pulling it to shore.

Once on shore, check the soundness of the line and the check-valve.

Inspect the diffuser to make sure that it is working correctly. If not, clean it or replace it.

Install a diffuser if one is not being used.

Check that the diffuser is located on – or near – the bottom of the dugout.

Above, wrong dugout!

Research has shown that year-round continuous aeration with a diffuser located on the bottom of the dugout provides the best water quality.

Benson says that the fall is also a good time to inspect the operating system.

‘If you use a floating intake, it should be inspected and cleaned. It is best done by pulling your floating intake to shore. Your intake should be lowered to about 4 to 5 ft, or 1.25 to 1.5 m, below the water surface. In most situations, it gives sufficient depth to provide water after the float freezes in the ice.

You should also ensure that the intake line is weighted correctly, so it stays below the ice during winter.’

He says to remember that during winter, dugout aeration systems can result in open or weak areas in the dugout ice.

‘These conditions can be very dangerous for young children, pets and people snowmobiling at night. It is essential to educate your children about these hazards and post the area with highly visible warning signs and a fluorescent snow fence around the open water area. For greater safety, it is best if farmyard dugouts are fenced to avoid unauthorized access.’

Animal care is a top priority at Horseshoe Valley Ranch. The animals are raised on pasture until the last 120 days when they are then put on a ration containing hay, grain and peas. Their handling and feeding systems are designed to promote a low stress environment for the cattle and their employees are all trained in the highest standards of animal care.

Today, Elvern’s son Stacy has taken over the reins of Horseshoe Valley Ranch. Stacy and his family produce quality grain finished beef, raised from calves born on the ranch and from neighboring ranches in the Peace River Region. They use a lower percentage of grain than traditional grain finished beef, which allows them to keep the animal in a more healthy state, naturally, without the use of artificial hormones or growth stimulants.

One unique aspect to the feeding of Horseshoe Valley Ranch beef is the addition of whole peas to the ration. Stacy believes the peas contribute to healthier animals and healthier beef.

Horseshoe Valley Ranch is located in the North Peace area, in a small community called Clayhurst, one hour north of Dawson Creek, BC. HVR (Horseshoe Valley Ranch) is a large scale ranching and farming operation.

In 1952, Ken Esau, with his wife Doreen and their two small boys, left Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan and traveled to British Columbia. There they were able to homestead and start a small farm. Ken and his boys, Elvern and Brad, set to work clearing the land of all the trees and making it into farm land. A lot of sweat and hard work went into getting everything up and working efficiently.

12 The Northern Horizon, October 16, 2020

October 2020 Community Report I’ve learnt about Zoom and Facebook live.

All things I didn’t make time for in the past.

The camps here at the ranch are always some of the favorite times of the year. We had campfires, 3am sing-alongs, river rides and lots of laughs. I generally try to keep a horse handy of my own while I’m teaching the camps. My horse usually barely moves during the day. I might use him for an example of the exercise now and again. This very minimal approach always causes such a huge change in my horse. Even though we barely did anything. Sprinkling a bit of info into the horse and looking for a small change here and there stacks up to be amazing in such a short amount of time. Whenever I sprinkle every day instead of trying to pour in the info I get more done in less time. Grinding away at something always takes longer and isn’t fun for either horse nor person. Make a small change as soon as you can and move on to something new. You can come back to improve it more if needed later. A bunch of little wins in many areas stockpiles and the results are fabulous.

It feels more like having fun than something we are trying to conquer.

Another thing I wanted to mention when we are learning is that if you are feeling stuck what that really means is we are on the edge or precipice of an amazing discovery.

If it ever feels like you are going backwards it isn’t so. What has happened is we have reached another stage in our understanding and awareness

and now have to bring our skills to a higher level.

An example might be if we try to do liberty and it isn’t working we should go back online. That’s not going backwards, we have just reached a new and higher level of awareness of what is needed.

That is absolutely a step forward. As we progress thru the stages program the tasks are designed to do exactly that, keep us adding to our skills and understanding. So, if we are feeling stuck or it seems very challenging, know that we are right where we need to be. Being comfortable is ok to visit for a short rest, but you don’t want to live there. Growth and a growth mindset come from learning and doing things we haven’t done before which most often feels uncomfortable, difficult, challenging.

Also, I would encourage you to do is video yourself and see if what you thought was happening looks the same on the video. It can be very helpful and eye opening. Of course, I’m always available to give you feedback and suggestions if you choose to send us a video. It can speed your progress incredibly by getting a few helpful tips.

We’ve just come back from Smithers and Terrace Clinics and the next events on the calendar for The Horse Ranch are clinics in Cochrane at Mission Acres and our winter program Horse Development

and Front Row Seating. 2021 is shaping up to be busier than ever with three expos, clinics, camps and our annual trip to Costa Rica in January – all subject to the world returning to normal a bit more of course!

Front Row Seating starts in November – November 2-13, 16-27 and November 30-December 11 – contact us for details via email or call us at 250.789.3072.

Front Row Seating is offered as 10 or 5 day sessions (if the 5 day option it starts Nov 2, 16 or 30) I will be starting colts for clients, working with my top end horses, continuing foundation training on client horses and students can come ride, watch and get a lesson plan each day for them and their horse. Ride in a heated indoor arena for 10 hours a day if you like!

Each day starts around 9am, running til 5pm and is chock full of learning as you watch horses learn and develop right before your eyes.

You can pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of coffee and watch a horse or horses that have caught your interest. It is remarkable what can change during the 10 days.

We take 5 students maximum in each FR. And we still have spots left.

The Northern Horizon, October 16, 2020

This edition, on veterinary equine dentistry Dr. Mike Ross There is an old saying that the key to equine health comes down to three things. These are Teeth, Feet, and Worms. I’m sure we all agree that there is considerably more to equine health than that, but it signifies the importance of equine dentistry.

Equine Dentistry has been around for centuries. It was practiced by the Chinese as early as 600 B.C., and even Aristotle gave an account on periodontal disease in horses in his book, History of Animals (333 B.C.).

Equine teeth differ from what we as humans have for dentition. Horses have what are called hypsodont teeth and humans have what are classified as brachyodont teeth. A few dentistry modalities can be taken from human dentistry, but most have little direct application to the hypsodont dentition of the horse. Hypsodont teeth are also called highcrowned and have many fold-like creases of enamel. They have a different structure than human teeth, and continue to grow and wear throughout the horse’s lifetime. Some examples of animals with hypsodont dentition are cows, horses and deer; all animals that feed on gritty, fibrous material. Horse’s teeth can continue growing until they are up to 28 years of age.

Horses can have a total of 36 to 44 teeth.

This depends on age, sex, and presence of rudimentary teeth like “wolf teeth”. They usually have 12 incisors, 4 canine or bridle teeth (in geldings and studs), 0-4 wolf teeth, and 24 premolars and molars. The incisors are the teeth used most commonly in which age is determined by observing when adult teeth erupt and wear patterns.

Dental disease can present due to many causes. Some symptoms of equine dental disease are abnormal eating behavior like head tilt, quidding (dropping balls of feed), slobbering and excess salivation. Sometimes you may notice discharge or foul odor from their mouth. Refusal to eat or selective eating, combined with chronic weight loss can be noted. Some horses with poor teeth can have long hay particles in their feces which may predispose them to conditions like colic.

You may also notice problems with training like head shaking, resisting turns, resisting bridling, mouthing or chewing the bit. Facial

or jaw swelling can also be an early indicator of root infections or abnormal dentition.

The most common routine procedure we perform is called a “float”. Floating teeth is done by reducing the sharp enamel edges on the molars which may develop. The upper rows of cheek teeth in the horse are wider apart than the lower rows. Therefore sharp enamel points develop usually against the cheek on the upper teeth and against the tongue on the lowers. In fact the word float is derived from a Latin word meaning “bevel”.

Therefore, we are beveling the edges of the molars to make the horse more comfortable and help balance wear that will occur in the future.

Other procedures we perform routinely are incisor reduction and alignment, rounding canine teeth, hook and ramp reductions, step mouth and wave mouth reductions, cheek tooth extraction, and bit seats. We routinely do dental procedures on young horses before training which includes extraction of wolf teeth, extraction of loose caps (baby premolars), and performance floats. This ensures no bad habits will develop during training due to oral pain.

Huge advances in equine dental science have been made in the last 20 years. There have been more rigorous scientific studies done in the last 10 years than the last 100 years. It is a very exciting time to be an equine dentist now days. A commonly asked question is, “How often do I need to get my horses teeth done or examined?” This is very simple and depends on the degree or level of performance of your equine. If they are a pasture pet or brood mare you may want to have them examined once to determine if they have any major problems, and after that only as they show signs of dental disease or become elderly should they be examined and treated. High level performance horses whose livelihood depends on zero risk of dental disease will probably need checkups and floats every six months. Moderate work type horses probably get away with a routine float every two years. Equines with problems identified early, sometimes need dental work done every six months to one year.

You may wonder why your horse needs so much intervention when a wild horse needs little or no attention. Horses in the wild graze

13

predominantly on grass which is high in silica and acts to wear the animal’s teeth in a normal way. Their head is always down in the natural grazing position and they graze for 18 hours a day. In a stable they are sometimes fed two meals, morning and night, consisting of a dense caloric ration which contains a number of other feedstuffs. Our domesticated horses also have bridles, halters, and bits to contend with, that come into contact with the soft tissue around razor sharp enamel points. In the wild the horses with developmental dental disease probably succumb to Mother Nature at an early age.

There are preventative measures you can take to keep your horse from developing dental disease. First, feed your horse on the ground when possible.

Routine floats and dental work can also add years to your horse’s life.

We also have extensive knowledge of many types of anesthesia which makes dental procedures painless and safe for your horse.

Whether you need a performance dental float to increase your equine athletes comfort and success, or a major procedure to fix, we are here at the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic to help you with all your Equine Dentistry needs!

A new variety of wheat must have the right intrinsic properties before it can be grown as a registered variety in Canada. This extensive process is overseen by the Government of Canada’s Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Variety Registration Office.

130 Fancy Bred Heifers Consigned to VJV Auction Market, Dawson Creek, BC

$35M fund to help make farms safer in COVID 19

Canada Press says Canadian farmers can now apply for emergency funding to protect their workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said Monday.

A $35-million program first announced at the end of July will subsidize farms’ purchases of personal protective equipment and sanitary stations and it will help to cover extra costs in cases of COVID-19 outbreaks.

Exposed to bulls from July 12 to August 29 Full Health Vaccinated with Express 5, Covexin Plus and Solmectin Pour-On May 15, 2020

The government will cover 50 per cent of the costs under the program and 60 per cent if a farm is owned by women or youths.

“Our government will continue to support farmers and (food) processors,” Bibeau said Monday.

“They are key partners in Canada sustainable economy recovery.”

Vold Jones & Vold Auction Market, Dawson Creek, BC (250) 782-3766 • vjvdawsoncreek@outlook.com Peter (250) 260-0758 • Yancy (403) 485-0887 59531

Farmers in Saskatchewan, Alberta, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon and the Northwest Territories can apply. Bibeau said the government will announce programs that will be managed by the other provinces in the coming weeks.

Wearing N95 masks has been standard at grain farms since before COVID-19, because farmers deal with dust and rodents around some of the bins, said Keith Degenhardt, the vice-president of Alberta Federation of Agriculture. So the pandemic brought a shock.

“We saw the price on personal protection equipment increased,” said Degenhardt, who runs a crop and cow-calf farm with his family close to Wainwright, Alta.

The program will be applied retroactively to cover any COVID19-related costs between March 15 and the end of next February, Bibeau said.

She said the program can apply equally to Canadian or migrant farm workers and it will prioritize farms at the highest risk of COVID-19 outbreaks.

The number of workers and the amount of space they have in their workplaces and housing facilities will be key elements in identifying farms at high risk of COVID-19 outbreaks, Bibeau said.

Dr. Brockhoff named Food Animal Veterinarian of the Year In recognition for his veterinary career, Dr. Egan Brockhoff was presented with the Merck Veterinary Award by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association.

As a veterinarian he has contributed significantly to the advancement of food animal medicine and surgery, including herd health management. Dr. Brockhoff has brought his skills and knowledge to the Canadian pork sector and contributed greatly to its global success.

He plays an instrumental role in the ongoing development of the Canadian Pork Council’s (CPC) on-farm food safety and animal care quality assurance programs. He provides both scientific and practical advice related to codes of practice, research priorities, the CPC’s drug use policy and its national biosecurity standard.

Dr. Brockhoff’s expertise has

been critical in the identification of measures designed to prevent and, if necessary, respond to an outbreak of African swine fever.

His work in this space includes contributing to the creation and implementation of the industry government pan-Canadian ASF strategy. He has also made a substantive contribution at the international level working closely with colleagues around the world and with individual producers in Asian countries, where his expertise is highly valued.

He has also fostered a closer working relationship between the Canadian Pork Council and the veterinary community.

The Canadian Swine Health Intelligence Network, a partnership between the Canadian Pork Council and the Canadian Association of Swine Veterinarians, is one example.

This initiative ensures the veterinary community and pork producers are working closely to improve Canada’s swine

health surveillance program.

“The Canadian pork sector would quickly notice Egan’s absence were he not so willing to help,” said John Ross, CPC’s executive director. “His contribution makes a great difference, and the pork sector is thankful for the role he plays in keeping the pigs safe and healthy.”.

The Case for High Legume Pastures & Planned Grazing By: Andrea Hanson, Supplied Article If you have been considering adding legumes to your Increasing diversity will up the chances that there will be pasture mixes but need the final prompt, perhaps something green during the growing season which equates to these points will help you pick up the phone and more grazing days for the year. book your seed for next spring. nutrients. As well, the carbon capture depths are Legumes have the ability to fix nitrogen. That is right, varied. legumes have the “superpower” to turn nitrogen gas into nitrogen food…or to be more specific, the legumes have a symbiotic friendship with naturally occurring bacteria in the soil. It is those bacteria, from the Rhizobium genus, that form nodules on the legume plants’ roots and convert gaseous nitrogen (N2) to NH3, a nitrogen source the plants can use.

In return, the legumes provide the bacteria with carbohydrates.

While these bacteria can be found naturally in soil, adding an inoculant to the legume seed when planting increases the likelihood of successful nitrogen fixation throughout the life of the pasture so long as the conditions remain favorable. The legumes are kind enough to share their nitrogen source with other plants through decomposition of their root tissues, exudation and transfer mediated by plant associated mycorrhizae. So, who would not want to reduce their fertilizer bill and still reap the benefits of higher productivity?

Adding legumes to your pasture mix ensures a higher degree of biodiversity. There is not an ecosystem anywhere in the natural world that contains a monoculture, so if we mimic nature, we know it has been working effectively for eons.

Increasing biodiversity safeguards the pasture from weather averse events because there are more varieties of plants that have root systems in different profiles in the soil to utilize the available water and

Increasing diversity will up the chances that there will be something green during the growing season which equates to more grazing days for the year.

Legumes can help to get those pastures past that “summer slump” when the grasses start to dry.

Legumes add a high protein component to the livestock’s diet. Graziers who are looking to increase calf and yearling weights on pasture have often added a high percentage of alfalfa to the pasture mix and enjoyed seeing weight gains of 3 plus pounds per day. That same pasture diet is a great way to increase a cow’s body condition score to ensure she heads into winter, as has been said, “carrying a haystack on her back”.

If alfalfa does not fit your risk profile, there are other legume options. Sainfoin, Birdsfoot Trefoil and Cicer Milkvetch are three non-bloating legumes due to their tannin content. The tannins bind excess plant proteins (from alfalfa) and precipitate the excess proteins out of the rumen fluid, preventing the creation of stable foam that forms in pasture bloat.

According to LegumePlus1, a research study out of the European Union, Sainfoin has also shown to increase the animal’s protein absorption which reduces methane production. A grazing research project from the research stations at Lethbridge and Swift Current showed a 95% to 98% reduction in bloat when sainfoin made up 25% of a sainfoinalfalfa stand².

The Northern Horizon, October 16, 2020

If you have yet to be convinced to add some legumes to your mix, there is one more reason to consider including those high tannin legumes. The same tannins that reduce bloat also mess with internal parasite’s life cycle. Research into this concept is ongoing and the tannin levels have been found to change over the growing period, but the prospects are positive so far. Perhaps including one or all three non-bloating legumes will add to your future deworming toolkit?

So now, hopefully, you are convinced to add legumes to your pasture seed mix. Once the pasture is established and ready to graze, there are several factors and rules a manager must consider. As with any pasture, a high legume pasture requires management and a plan.

Because the legumes can be “grazed out” over time, a high legume pasture does need some extra considerations. First, it is important to allow the pasture to reseed itself occasionally. Let the pasture fully mature to set seed every few years. Then when animals are reintroduced into that field, they will help to spread and tramp the seeds into the ground for stand longevity, especially for the legumes. Because the grasses are typically hardier, it is important to

manage closely for the legumes’ needs. Adding a lot of nitrogen fertilizer will favor grass growth which could choke out the legumes. Also allow the pasture to recover before the killing frost to ensure the legume’s energy reserves are adequate.

Planning allows the grazing manager to be pro-active to situations as opposed to reactive and ensures all resources are optimized to help maintain control.

Decisions are set to be made quickly and thoughtfully as “key trigger dates” arrive.

The forage/livestock/people plan itself can be as detailed as one wants to get and involve family for the teamwork needed ahead; and most importantly, it needs to be documented. As much as we think we will remember all the details of a plan, writing it down will ensure the writer and others understand where the plan is headed. It also helps encourage prompt, timely actions for best outcomes. Several plan templates are available that vary in detail. It is up to the individual manager as to how technical she/he wants to get, and who they want to involve. Involving the family creates opportunities for creative ideas with team “buy in” using problem solving solutions. The important point is to ensure something gets documented so that if stresses happen, there is a fall-back

action and support to keep the arrow pointed at the end goal.

Implementation of the grazing plan comes next, followed closely by monitoring; really, these two steps happen simultaneously. Turning the cattle into the pasture in May, checking they have water and salt/ mineral through the months and pulling them in August would not be considered monitoring the forages effectively. While mob grazing is not a system every producer wants to consider, closer monitoring, grouping herds, and moving the animals more frequently will begin to change the forage species present and has the potential to increase production over time.

A plan starts with setting the goals and objectives.

How many months of the year do you expect/need the animals to graze? How important is your forage to your operation? These are a couple of the questions that should be considered when setting your goals and objectives.

Once the goals and objectives are determined, developing a resource inventory and evaluation of the pastures/feeding systems are the next steps. How many acres of all forages are there to work with?

Could they be used differently? Are you looking to change your forage system – adding, deleting,…?

Who can you talk with who is doing something you have thought of doing but not done yet? How did they make it work?

The final element of a grazing plan is updating the plan. Continual change is important as the pasture conditions change. The plan update should happen every time it rains or does not rain, or when actions are taken. If your pastures have ideal growing conditions at the start of the season, April to June, and pasture growth is abundant with plants invigorated, then an updated plan in July could allow for additional animals. Even more profitable may be to save the extra forage to graze longer into the winter so tractor feeding is reduced. On the other hand, if the moisture does not arrive or too much falls by key dates written out in your plan, start culling steps to mitigate losses of grazing days. This backup plan with a culling procedure will be best in the long term and make the decision process easier when stresses are high.

Grazing management is more than noting the date the animals were turned into the pasture and the date they leave. It is about observing your livestock, forages and other resources and making the best decisions for all involved. When we see the first flush of green grass, we can get a bit too excited to be done with feeding which will negatively affect the forage production later in the growing season. Having a plan in place will ensure our excitement is curbed.

How many animals graze these acres? Knowing the forage requirements allows the question “do you have an adequate forage supply?” to be answered.

At this point if the answer is no, you don’t have adequate forage supply, it is then time to revisit your goals and objectives or resource inventory and decide where you are going to find additional acres to increase forage supply. Are some acres not preferred by animals, not grazed well, but could be with a few changes?

Hopefully, your pasture includes a good percentage of legumes and you plan with them in mind. Just as sure as wet conditions end with sunshine, there is opportunity in adversity…..it starts with a plan, what is yours?

Which brings us to the next planning step which considers the cost-benefit and risk assessment of grazing. Although canola and some of the other cash crops may have a higher cost-benefit payout in the short-term, in the long-term the soil may be compromised by erosion or have other concerns which negate the short-term benefits. In almost all cases a few years of well managed grazing will improve the land for years to come. Legumes/grass forage stands have shown positive soil improvements with higher resulting grain crop production for 10 years after be-

Managing a Vaccination Plan

Vaccine immunity is temporary, and so no matter which type of vaccine you use most require a refresher shot annually.

Regardless of the vaccine you use, its efficacy may be increased or decreased by the state of the animal’s immune system. Stress and illness can both reduce the immune system’s functionality. For example, calves that are vaccinated after shipping to a feedlot will likely have lower immunity than calves that were vaccinated 2/3 weeks before shipping.

By Johanna Murray, PCBFA

Vaccination is a vital part of any beef production system. Vaccines can help protect producers from disease outbreaks and persistently infected animals.

There are several factors to consider when developing a vaccination strategy, and one size doesn’t necessarily fit all.

Similarly, animals that are already sick are unlikely to respond well to vaccines, meaning they will have less protection than a healthy vaccinated animal will.

Other animals may react adversely to the vaccine if it is injected improperly, proper handling and injection of vaccines can improve immunity within your herd.

The first factor to consider is how vaccines work.

There are two widely available types of vaccine, modified live and killed. In general – the two types of vaccine are used for different types of diseases, but there are some differences in how they work, which should be considered when you’re working on your vaccination strategy1.

However, not all lapses in a vaccination strategy are management related. Vaccines do not grant full protection from any disease. Instead, they are a tool that can significantly reduce the number of sick and infected animals. One reason for this is that not every animal vaccinated will end up with the same level of immunity. Some animals will have an excellent reModified live vaccines sponse to the vaccine often must be reconand be immune to the stituted by mixing a disease.

immune response.

The size of your operation, the type of cattle you are handling, and how often you introduce new animals to the herd should all be considered when determining how to proceed with vaccination. Cows in small closed herds are unlikely to need the same immune defences required by similar cows mingling at the community pasture. Geography and wildlife presence can also affect which vaccines your animals will need.

You may have anthrax in your soil, or a high concentration of Leptosporidium in the local deer.

Working with a knowledgable vet can be invaluable when developing a vaccination program.

Many of the most troublesome problems we vaccinate for, such as pneumonia and scours can be caused by multiple pathogens. Working with your vet to identify what strain of bacteria or type of virus is causing the outbreaks can give you more information to decide on vaccines. A local vet should also be able to advise you on which vaccines are necessary for your operation and which you may be able to out of.

Once you know what vaccines you will be using, consider timing. For example, cows are most at risk for BVD abortions and the creation of persistently infected calves in the first trimester. Thus, a pre-breeding vaccine may be the best choice for prevention and control. In the dairy industry, there are vaccines for pregnant cows to prevent certain strains of scours, and there are particular vaccines for some types of pneumonia which can be administered to calves at birth3.

with as well as reducing costly outbreaks.

In the end, there’s more to a good vaccination program than what vaccines are on the list. Management decisions and consulting with your vet are the first steps in protecting your herd from disease outbreaks and protecting your bottom line from poor doers and sickly calves.

All this may sound like a lot of effort for something that may not give full immunity. But proper management and handling of vaccines can also reduce the number of chronically ill animals you have to deal 8

Project Highlight: Mixing it All Together

Alan had already been in touch with one of his professors at the University of Alberta, and got the ball rolling on enrolment, but he was in need of a supervisor. We brought it up to the team, and now here we are, September 2020, and we are completing the last of Alan’s data collection for his Master’s.

Alan’s Master’s project is entitled ‘Intercropping Systems with and Without Nitrogen Fertilizer Application, and the Effects on Colonization of Mycorrhizal Fungi’. Through this study, Alan is hoping to understand the effects of intercropping peas, oats, and canola on both grain and forage production.

By: Katie McLachlan, PCBFA

It all started a couple years ago, in August of 2018.

The dust was just settling on our 4th Annual Field Day at the Research Farm just outside of Fairview.

We took our summer team out for lunch to celebrate a job well done, when one of our students pulled me aside and told me that he was considering pursuing Master’s studies.

“It dawned on me that with forages, we know cocktail mixes can increase yield, so we thought we could implement this with grain production.” says Alan about coming up with his research project.

Alan’s project is funded by the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, and is hosted at the Fairview Research Farm. Supervisiors for this project are PCBFA’s very own Dr. Akim Omokanye, and Dr. Guillermo Hernandez from the University of Alberta. We were also fortunate to bring in Dr. Monika Gorzelak from Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada in Lethbridge to contribute her expertise in the area of mycorrhizal fungi and soil biology.

Alan Lee had just finished his undergrad in Sustainable Agriculture at the U of A that previous spring. He had never set foot on a real farm before starting his summer internship with PCBFA. But that did not stop him from trying his hardest, and learning all he could. The kid has an insatiable curiosity. He was always asking questions about everything; from the mechanics of how 4x4 engages in our Ford Super Duty while driving, to how microbes in the soil interact with the roots of different plant species.

PCBFA is very excited to be a key player in this partnership, and to be working with the University of Alberta to host this Master’s project. Liisa Jeffery, PCBFA General Manager hopes to continue this

partnership. “Students get so much real world practical experience when they are doing a project here versus on campus,” she says.

There are two main objectives to this research project: 1. Assess the effectiveness of intercropping oats, peas, and canola in increasing yield quantity and quality in terms of grain and forage.

2. To observe mycorrhizal population and colonization in the soil under different intercropping systems to determine if mycorrhizae is contributing to yield.

There has been a fair bit of work done in other areas across the world on intercropping. This research shows that the practice of intercropping can help to decrease the need for synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. On your average Peace Country farm or ranch, fertility and pest fighting are some of the largest costs to producing our product. If we can find a way to reduce some of those costs without giving up yield, that will make our farms more profitable.

Alan and his team hypothesize that intercrops, along with yield stabilty and greater grain and forage yield and quality on the same amount of land, can help to reduce the risk of nutrient leaching compared to monocropping, and improve a farm’s net returns, soil fertility, soil health, and water use efficiency.

Preliminary findings from this project are very promising! Full results will be available early in 2021 after Alan defends his thesis.

Varieties used in this trial included Clearfield CS2500CL canola, Seabiscuit oats, and CDC Meadow peas.

In addition to a fertilizer blend according to soil test reccomendations, top-up nitrogen rates were also applied at rates of: 1. 0 kg/ha 2. 50 kg/ha (44.6 lbs.ac) 3. 75 kg/ha (66.9 lbs/ac) 4. 100 kg/ha (89.2 lbs/ac) Alan took a lot of field measurements in this trial. In addition to grain and forage yield and quality, data was taken on pea nodulation, plant height, soil bulk density, mycorrhizal colonization, and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Sensors were also installed in the plots after seeding to record soil moisture and temperature on an ongoing basis.

Grain storage in Alberta ‘Farmers in Alberta along with growers in other prairie provinces have more grain storage than most of their worldwide competitors,’ says Ryan Furtas, market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

‘However, having storage capacity can be a marketing advantage, but capturing a higher price by storing grain is not a guarantee.’

He notes that generally in years with normal production, prices are seasonally lowest at harvest time due to a large influx of supply from newly harvested crop that puts pressure on the grain handling system.

‘Customers who utilize grain, oilseed and pulse crops tend to require a consistent supply over the entire year. Storing grain short-term - 3 to 4 months - or longer term - 10 to 11 months - following harvest can improve producer returns and allow farmers to provide product at times when deliveries are otherwise slow.’

0% FINANCING* CASH BACK OPTIONS AND MORE!

Canola and wheat are 2 Alberta crops that comprise the majority of acreage, and both commodities have futures markets for price discovery. Some smaller, yet economically important crops that have no futures markets include durum, barley, flax and field peas. These secondary crops can be subject to more extreme price swings and can sometimes remain in storage for more than a year as producers try to wait out market downturns.

The actual cost of storage is more than just the purchase price for the grain bin. Set up costs can be significant if it includes a concrete floor, temperature monitoring systems and aeration. Annual depreciation needs to be considered along with repairs and maintenance, and that can amount to an annual cost of upwards of 25 cents a bushel.

Furtas adds that grain bin prices have been steadily climbing over the last 5 years.

‘Figure 1 below shows that the purchase price of a 5,000 bushel bin has increased from $3.80 per bushel in 2015 to $4.80 per bushel in 2020.

Steel - both corrugated and smooth walled - grain bin prices are driven by both market demand and steel prices.’

Producers in Alberta have been investing in permanent on farm storage. According to Statistics Canada’s July 2020 survey, Alberta producers have approximately 27.5 million tonnes of permanent onfarm grain storage capacity, compared to 25 million tonnes just 5 years ago.

‘The Statistic Canada report also states that approximately 9% of reported grain stocks using temporary on farm storage such as grain bags, see Figure 2 below,’ he explains. ‘This shows that producers are using both temporary and permanent storage options on their farm.

However, the overwhelming preference is for permanent storage.’

‘The decision to use either permanent or temporary storage is unique, and it boils down to each individual’s situation,’ Furtas adds.

‘Generally, permanent storage is preferred to maintain grain quality and for the ease of use.’

A closer look at Alberta’s greenhouse industry largest percentage, 41%, of the total greenhouse area,’ he says.

‘The area under 10,000 sq. ft. has decreased from 30% in 2014 to 22% in 2019. The proportion of greenhouses with an area over 40,000 sq. ft. has increased from 32% in 2014 to 35% 2019. Double poly greenhouses accounted for about 72% of total area followed by glass at 23%.’

This report is of significance to greenhouse growers, researchers and agricultural financial institutions that rely on this information for business decisions,’ explains Emmanuel Anum Laate, senior crop economist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

The Economics Section of Alberta Agriculture and Forestry in partnership with the Alberta Greenhouse Growers Association gathered the data for this report through a comprehensive survey during the winter of 2019-20. It updates the 2014 profile report with 2019 data.

The report includes size, distribution in different regions within the province, heating systems, water and energy use trends, and labour. It also looks at opportunities and issues related to financing, the environment, business climate and regulation, competitiveness with imports, and other benchmarks and future trends.

‘Presently, there are 195 greenhouse operations in Alberta,’ notes Laate. ‘The present size of Alberta’s greenhouse crops industry is estimated to be 404 acres, 164 hectares, 17.62 million square feet or 1.64 million square metres. Vegetable accounted for

about 46% of the total greenhouse area, or 187 acres, followed by floriculture at 42%, or 170 acres, and tree seedlings at 12%, or 48 acres. Greenhouse institutional facilities of approximately 3.56 acres are not included in the total area.’

The greenhouse area in the province is divided into ten regions, ranging from Region 1 which includes Fort McMurray, to Lethbridge included in Region 10.

‘Compared to the 2014 survey results, the Medicine Hat region – Region 9 which includes Redcliff – continues to account for the

Approximately 40% of greenhouses are year-round and 60% are seasonal in nature. The industry employed 41%, or 1,277 employees, as full-time workers and the remaining 59%, or 1,851 employees, as part-time workers.

Natural gas continued to be the fuel of choice for heating greenhouses. No major shift has occurred in the use of alternate fuel like coal, wood or others.

‘The report shows that the majority of growers are anticipating business threats such as higher energy costs, markets and prices, labour shortages, import competition, taxes and regulation and currency fluctuations in the next 3 to 5 years,’ adds Laate. ‘Growers indicated that in the next 3 to 5 years non-traditional products, the buy local movement, export markets, organic or green products would serve as opportunities for expansion.’

Sugar beets + environmental stewardship Ongoing research is looking at how sugar beet farmers can lessen their impact on the environment.

During an average year, 28,000 acres of sugar beets are grown in southern Alberta, producing more than 800,000 tonnes of beets. Those harvested beets are hauled to 7 receiving stations in the area, known as piling grounds, where trucks can wait for up to 3 hours to unload their sweet cargo. This wait is one of the reasons that the Alberta Sugar Beet Growers (ASBG) decided to look at the impact of the sugar beet growing and harvesting process on climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.

looking at ways to mitigate our impacts on the environment,’ explains Melody Garner-Skiba, executive director of ASBG. ‘For us, this project and its phases are really meant to help us look at our environmental impact, from the field to where we turn it over to the processor, and see how we can do better. And then, let the public know that we don’t rest on our laurels - we’re always trying to do better.’

Phase one of the research project, Reducing the Impact of Sugar Beet ‘We know that farmers do a lot around Production and Irrigation on Climate environment stewardship, and we are Change, began in the fall of 2018 during

sugar beet harvest. Researchers assessed and collected data from the traffic at the piling grounds. The assessment’s objectives were to identify ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, fuel and energy consumption.

This year, researchers wrapped up 2 years of collecting data and monitoring 9 participating farms. They looked at their green house gas emissions and climate change impacts, including water usage, from an irrigation angle during the growing season. During this phase of the project, Alberta Canola and Alberta Potato Growers were brought in as partners.

‘Sugar beets don’t grow in isolation. We are a rotation crop, and we only grow one in 4 years,’ explains Garner-Skiba.

‘We thought it was important to also bring those other rotational crops in on this project because they will have an impact as well. Probably 30% of Alberta sugar beet growers, if not 40%, also grow potatoes. If they’re not growing potatoes, they’re growing canola or they’re growing pulses. We’re all very interconnected.’

The project now moves into its next phases, where the team will develop best management practices and recommendations from the assessments and data collection completed earlier.

From there the project will move to implementation of recommendations and extension work with sugar beet farmers.

Garner-Skiba has found that farmers are very curious to see the results, hear about potential solutions and how those can be implemented.

‘If we can reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from trucks idling or waiting to drop their sugar beets at receiving stations, that also equates to better profitability because we are being more efficient,’ she adds.

internet access as we depended on internet-based services to meet virtually with Canadian beef producers and many producers faced challenges in participating due to reliable internet.”

This investment committed $2 billion into expanding highspeed broadband, and another $1.5 billion to irrigate additional acres across Canada. CCA believes that these investments will help strengthen our rural communities.

“Increased access to irrigation will help producers achieve higher and more consistent yields, while mitigating the risk of varied weather patterns,” continued Lowe.

“CCA continues to advocate on the importance of targeted Government investments in underserved communities to help ensure rural Canada remains an attractive place to live, work and raise families,” said Bob Lowe, CCA President. “The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of broadband

In addition, the investment in water and irrigation projects will also result in positive benefits for Canadian beef producers.

CCA will continue to engage with the Government of Canada on these investments to ensure that the funds are distributed to projects that will support beef producers and rural communities, while contributing to Canada’s recovery from the impacts of COVID-19.
