Grain Growers of Canada speak out on the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations OVER 90 PER CENT OF CANADIAN FARMERS ARE RELIANT ON TRADE June 8, 2015 (from the website of the GGC, www.ggc.pgc.ca) Canada’s agriculture and agri-food industry is one of the most tradedependent agricultural sectors in the world. Well over half of everything we produce, worth over $50 billion yearly, is exported, which means that over 90 per cent of Canadian farmers are reliant on trade.

It is with these facts in mind that we look favourably towards the TransPacific Partnership (TPP). Successful completion of TPP negotiations is vital to ensuring the long term prosperity of the agricultural sector. Setting higher standards for trade by eliminating tariffs and non-tariff barriers, the TPP has the potential to strengthen existing markets, while opening strategic markets in the region and resulting in a more stable and transparent trading environment for Canadian products. Considering that one in eight Canadian jobs are in agriculture and agri-food, we are talking about a significant proportion of our population at risk of being put at a disadvantage if we are on the outside looking in.

The 12 countries included in the TPP represent 40 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product, the 11 countries around the table with Canada representing over 65 per cent of our agriculture

and agri-food exports, making it the biggest trade deal for Canada since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). These players, especially in Asia, represent high-value markets for our quality grain, oilseed and pulse products, and we simply cannot afford to be left behind. In fact, given Canada’s reliance on trade, it is imperative that we play a central role in agreements that affect global terms of trade.

Canada has been at the TPP table since 2012 so that our negotiators can shape what the final agreement looks like. The negotiations have been driven by the U.S. and they have recently started the process to enable them to complete the agreement. One thing is certain: with the largest economy in the world the U.S. can negotiate an agreement that will serve their interests.

Some have suggested that Canada could just join a concluded TPP sometime in the future if talking trade during an election campaign proved too inconvenient.

This could not be more wrong. We’re a small country in the world and the best deal for Canada will come when we’re at the table when things come together – and from what we know this could be very soon.

Furthermore, out of the TPP context, New Zealand and Australia are well ahead of Canada in terms of negotiating

bilateral free-trade agreements in the Asia market. While it is important to note that although trade agreements do not guarantee sales in foreign markets, they are indispensable prerequisites to allowing competitive sales. As such, we need to ensure that we are not only part of the conversation, but a key voice.

Put simply, participating in the TPP is vital to our economy. If we remain in status quo, there is much to lose, while our competitors reap the benefits of preferential market access. This means that Canadian farmers will be at a competitive disadvantage to other countries and we simply cannot afford to let that happen. We owe our farmers a chance to compete freely and on equal footing with our international competitors. If we do not take action, it leaves the agricultural industry vulnerable, as we stand to be virtually excluded from this monu-

mental trade opportunity.

We need our elected officials to stand up for the future of the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector, as well as for the millions of jobs it directly and indirectly supports in our country. This moment will demonstrate whether the federal government’s trade agenda is actually serving the interests of Canadians or not. Canada depends on trade and the implications that would result from being left behind in these crucial negotiations cannot be understated. As President Eisenhower once said, “Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you’re a thousand miles from the corn field”. We need Canada’s leaders to push forward on economic leadership and this is how it will be done.

The time to act is now. r002923573

Trade Mission heads south to promote barley June 10, 2015 - BARLEY COUNCIL OF CANADA When most people hear “Mexico”, they think of surf, sand and sun. For those taking part in a recent agricultural mission to that country, however, it was all about heating up the market for Canadian barley and other grains.

Along with commodity groups representing oats, flax and pulses, as well as government and private companies, Alberta Barley visited three cities in Mexico over five days. According to Paola Zaragoza of Alberta Agriculture & Rural Development, who was the Alberta lead in planning and executing the trip, they had three main objectives.

“Apart from increasing awareness of Alberta ingredients for both humans and animals, and identifying business opportunities, we were there to help exporters establish or expand their market presence in Mexico,” said Zaragoza.= Striking a Match Those were ambitious goals, but they didn’t call the mission “Harvesting Solutions” for nothing.

In each city, they organized face-

to-face meetings between Canadian exporters and Mexican buyers, or what Zaragoza referred to as “speed dating for business”.

But that was just the beginning.

While the tourists worked on their tans, members of the mission were burning the midnight oil.

“We offered informational and technical seminars on food ingredients and animal feed to educate Mexican processors about the possible applications,” said Zaragoza.

To top it off, there were press conferences with Mexican chefs promoting barley, flax, oats and pulses as keys to a healthy diet, and even a visit from the Canadian ambassador.

Fanning the Flames Some trade events can get so caught up in the “what” that they lose sight of the “why”. In this case, participants kept their eyes squarely on the prize.

“Of all the missions I’ve been involved with, this one tapped the most potential and enthusiasm,” said Matt Sawyer, past chairman of the Alberta Barley Commission.

“We would sit down with a prospective buyer and suddenly they’re asking when you can deliver to them and how much.”

Following the presentations on how we produce crops in Canada and the many health benefits of our ingredients, Sawyer was struck by the reaction.

“People were coming up and thanking us for sharing our story. They wanted our products and were ready to do business.”

In a way, that’s not surprising.

“Mexico was the perfect venue for this mission as they have a lot of issues with obesity and diabetes,” said Sawyer. “There is a growing interest in healthy eating and a desire for nutritious, fat restricted ingredients. Thanks to its low glycemic index, barley is the perfect fit.”

So maybe the response wasn’t a complete shock, but it still gave Sawyer a real charge.

For me, it was an eye-opener. I was

Opportunity to participate in Trade Mission to India AGRI-NEWS JUNE 15, 2015

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) is inviting Alberta export-ready suppliers of pulses, canola oil, fertilizers, swine and dairy genetics, as well as agricultural and grain storage equipment, to participate in a trade mission to India from August 18 to 25.

This mission will afford companies the opportunity to: • participate in the premium agricultural trade show in southern India - Agritech India 2015 • meet potential buyers and distributors • gain knowledge of the local market

• establish a network of business contacts “We will be working in collaboration with the Trade Commissioner Service in Bangalore to provide maximum exposure for Alberta companies during this visit,” says Etienne van Straaten, trade and relations officer, AF. For more information on this mission, contact Etienne van Straaten at 780638-9421 or etienne.vanstraaten@gov. ab.ca. Expression of Interest closes on June 11, 2015.

Funding for this project is provided through Growing Forward 2, a federalprovincial-territorial initiative.

gratified to see immediate, tangible results from our hard work.”

Opportunity that’s Hard to Knock What were those results? Sawyer is glad you asked.

“For Alberta, we’re estimating $4 million in annual sales as a result of this mission.”

In fact, Zaragoza said they were so well received in Mexico by industry and media that they’re talking about hosting a group of Mexican buyers in Canada this summer.

“To participate under the Canadian banner but with an integrated and coordinated approach was very special.

Through this mission we have enhanced Alberta’s profile as a leading and reliable supplier of barley, pulses, oats and special crops in the Mexican market.”

Okay, they rarely got to see that Mexican sun, but so what? Thanks in part to their efforts, the future for Canadian producers has never been brighter.

Crop quality continues to be the big question on the mind of the market for the first week of June 2015 as the entire grains and oilseed complex is predominantly focused on weather. Even despite seeing the largest one-day drop for the U.S. dollar earlier in the week since 2013, weather issues are completely at the steering wheel (really par for the course though for this time of year). Between freezing temperatures in many areas of Western Canada to persistent wet conditions in the U.S. Southern Plains, some premium was built into the market. Specifically, there’s concern over the quality of U.S. winter wheat crops and limiting rains in spring wheat growing areas of the northern U.S. states and Western Canada. There are also some growing concerns of drier pockets in parts of Eastern Europe (i.e. Western & Southern Russia) that will see premium continue to get built into the market without adequate moisture.

Canola continues to press higher, supported by a stronger U.S. Dollar, with the July & November contracts now up near $500/MT. After cold, end-ofMay temperatures, likely around one million acres got re-seeded in Western Canada, notably Saskatchewan and Manitoba where at least 900 and over 2,700 crop insurance claims have been put in respectively! Keep in mind, that there’s still time for a reseeded crop to grow! More to the west, things are still looking fairly dry, and as such, there is some clear opportunity for canola prices to head across the $500/MT level soon if we don’t see weekend rains in the aforementioned areas. Other crops that are seeing bumps in prices include flax and some pulse crops, like chickpeas.

Yes there are definitely some possible weather issues popping up here & there but you can’t expect a 25 per cent price increase over night. On that note it’s easy to think more and more negative weather will come around. The question (slash reminder) is how many weather events do you or will you need to see and accept in order to start managing price risk? If the market is up 10 per cent, would you consider selling 10 per cent of production or what’s left in the bin, or do you need the price to go another 10 per cent higher?

The reality is, no one can say for sure that the market will go another 10 per cent higher so why not make a sale when you can! Worst case scenario, if It does go higher, you still have 90 per cent left to sell! (For old crop this is simple, but for not new crop, which will surely depend on what your fields are looking like – crop risk management before price risk management in my opinion).

Ultimately, as humans, we feel better about avoid losses than we do about making little gains, a behavioural economics theory known as “loss aversion”. Simply put, there’s a volatile trading environment right now and the best risk managers would make sales and lock in profits, and if the price continues to go up, you make more sales. Conversely, you could also make zero sales, betting the market will continue to go higher, but if the market does happen to pull back, you’ll be asking yourself “why didn’t I at least sell something?”

FCC Economic Update: What do the U.S. Federal Reserve, emerging markets and pulse crops have in common?

FARM CREDIT CANADA JUNE 5, 2015

prices could last all of 2015 – likely prolonging the low rate environment for producers and agribusinesses. It is, however, always smart to run different scenarios when it comes to financing costs.

While actions of central banks are likely to be gradual over time, long-term rates can climb rather unexpectedly.

A gradual rate hike in the U.S. will strengthen the American dollar. Because commodities are mostly priced in U.S. dollars, a higher dollar is generally associated with lower commodity prices. Yet I believe that Canadian farm receipts will remain strong because of a lower loonie and strong demand.

The United States Federal Reserve, Brazil and pulse crops. These three topics may not appear connected to each other and to Canadian agriculture. But they are and here’s why.

U.S. Federal Reserve U.S. Federal Reserve officials are meeting June 16 and 17. They could fundamentally change the dynamics of financial markets by raising the U.S. benchmark interest rate – the first rate hike since 2008. The American labour market is improving as the economy continues to recover and inflation is expected to continue creeping up. These are all positive indicators for Canadian businesses that export to the U.S. But also signs that a rate hike is near.

Despite the positive economic news out of the states, I personally believe that the U.S. central bank will wait a little longer before raising interest rates. It makes sense to delay the inevitable as long as possible to confirm this is the right course of action. Especially in an environment in which all major central banks are doing the opposite.

“A gradual rate hike in the U.S. will strengthen the American dollar. Because commodities are mostly priced in U.S. dollars, a higher dollar is generally associated with lower commodity prices.”

A rate hike will eventually happen, just a little later in 2015. And the increase in interest rates will be gradual.

But no matter what the exact timing is, the wheels are already in motion.

The simple fact that the U.S. Federal Reserve seriously considers raising rates impacts the value of currencies.

Start with the Canadian dollar. The recent fate of the loonie has been driven by oil prices. A rebound in oil prices from US$50 per barrel to over $60 has moved the Canadian dollar higher. However our currency has lost some momentum over the past couple of weeks based on expectations for higher rates in the U.S. and flat rates in Canada. This could mean the Canadian dollar stays under 80 cents for much of the summer.

A low Canadian dollar is generally positive for Canadian livestock and crop producers. It improves basis levels and lowers the cost of doing business in the American market for Canadian exporters.

Emerging markets A stronger U.S. dollar also impacts other currencies.

Consider Brazil: it has high inflation, and large public and trade deficits. Therefore it needs to purchase U.S. dollars in the financial markets. Higher U.S. rates leads to a stronger U.S. dollar and makes it more expensive for Brazil to buy U.S. dollars. This would lead to infla-

tion, putting pressure on interest rates in Brazil and bringing an economic downward spiral which would be hard to break.

How is this relevant to Canadian producers?

Brazil is a major player in the agricultural markets, especially oilseeds or beef. Runaway inflation and/or higher interest rates would raise costs for producers, hurt their competitiveness and limit their growth.

Pulse crops What about other emerging markets?

Turkey is the third most important destination for Canadian pulse exports. It faces much of the same issues as Brazil. But because the country is our customer, the implications are different.

Higher interest rates in the U.S. would likely bring the Turkish currency down, making it more expensive for Turkish businesses to buy Canadian pulse crops. On the bright side, India was in a position similar to Brazil and Turkey a little more than a year ago. But sound economic policy has moved India away from economic woes that could haunt other emerging markets.

The bottom line Moving forward, the market indicators to monitor are the strength of the Canadian economy and the timing of U.S. interest rate hikes.

We are not near a change of the Bank of Canada stance on interest rates. The fallout of depressed oil

Stocks at Primary Elevators- Week 44

“Following a very dry spring, towards the end of last week wetter weather began to move into the province, bringing with it much needed rain to many areas in critical need of moisture,” says Ralph Wright, manager, agro-meteorological applications and modelling section, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Edmonton. “Roughly one third of the agricultural areas received at least 10 mm. Previously dry areas receiving less than 5 mm include much of southern Alberta, the Special Areas, and parts of east-central Alberta.”

Many areas received at least 10 mm of rain over the few days before June 13, alleviating short term moisture stress, says Wright. “Upwards of 15 mm fell across much of the southern Peace

Region, through the Bonneville/Cold Lake area and along a corridor running between Stettler and Nordegg.”

Dry conditions continue to persist across the extreme northern Peace Region, through parts of Flagstaff/Beaver/ and Camrose County, the Special Areas and parts of southern Alberta.

“While many areas did not receive a good soaking rain (40 mm or more), many areas did receive enough to sustain current crop growth, at least for the short term,” says Wright. “The current forecast for the week ahead is calling for cool and wet conditions, making the current situation very much a wait and see scenario.”

Shannon Benner, Chief Executive Officer of 4-H Canada. “Agriculture has changed dramatically since 1913, and so has 4-H. The very pillars of the 4-H program—hands-on learning, youth leadership development, enrichment of rural communities—will now help youth meet the unique challenges and opportunities they face in our changing rural communities and in an employment sector focused on innovation and technology. 4-H has answered the call of a changing world and agriculture sector.”

Benner said the change reflects a progressive new era for the 102-yearold organization, with recently implemented programming that reflects the changing world and a growing, dynamic agricultural industry. In addition to more traditional livestock-based projects, 4-H offers members opportunities to develop their skills in emerging areas such as science, technology, engineering and more, with 8 per cent of all current projects having a science focus, such as rocketry and auto mechanics.

Building globally minded citizens is at the forefront as 4-H Canada prepares to host the Global 4-H Summit in Ottawa in 2017.

“4-H members are well positioned as we look ahead to the opportunities in Canadian agriculture,” said Lyndon Carlson, Senior Vice-President, Marketing, Farm Credit Canada (FCC), 4-H Canada’s largest corporate supporter.

“Along with their extremely employable skills of teamwork, leadership and communication, members possess a deep understanding of agriculture and a desire to innovate. The future of agriculture is in good hands.”

A recent study by Employment and Social Development Canada concluded that from 2013 to 2022 there will be almost 74,000 projected job openings in Canadian agriculture, but only 49,000 projected job seekers. This represents a huge opportunity for the country’s youth.

“4-H members continue to impress me with their dedication to their communities and passion for creating

The evolution of the 4-H brand marks an exciting day in the history of this great organization.”

“4-H has a deeply proud history and legacy. Our work was guided by the cornerstones of honouring 4-H’s core values, respecting the heritage of the organization, and evolving our logo to reflect 4-H’s proud history and legacy while also signaling our optimism about the future,” said Randy Mowat, chair of 4-H Canada’s Logo Task Force and vice chair of the 4-H Canada Foundation.

The addition of the maple leaf to the 4-H clover logo is an example of the organization’s continued commitment to patriotism and service to the country, explained Mowat.

“4-H has without a doubt made a huge difference in my life. It helped me learn new skills and strengthen my self-esteem, all while having fun and taking advantage of travel opportunities,” said Erica Jackson, 4-H Canada’s Youth Advisory Committee representative for Nova Scotia and member of the Marketing and Communications Working Group. “I’m really excited with the changes and the direction we’re headed.

I want 4-H to be strong and vibrant so my own kids can experience it as well.”

Be Tough But Fair Wow what a day. I didn’t know what I was going to write about today. We don’t need to be tough on horses but we do need to be fair. We should be tough minded or strong in our resolve or direction. Then I got all the inspiration and more when one of my students shared his story around the morning campfire during Horsemanship Camp here at The Horse Ranch.

Every morning we get together to talk about what we learnt the day before, answer any questions and prep for the day’s class ahead. Some amazing things can come out during these discussions and this morning was one of those days.

Some of you know about my horse Dealer. This horse is black gold in my eyes and is one of my demonstration horses. He is a dream to ride: smooth, athletic, strong and is soft and beautiful doing it. He wasn’t always that way.

When I met Dealer, he had been to a trainer for 3 months and the trainer give up and said he can’t be trained. A friend of mine new about the horse and he suggested to the owner to call me to see if I could help. We set a date and Dealer was brought to Grande Prairie and put in a stall. When I went to get him the first day, I barely could get him caught in a 10 by 10 box stall. He would spin, put his head over the stall and do anything to keep from being caught. After a bit of coaxing, I got the halter on and tried to lead him to the arena. Every step I got forward he would back up two. You couldn’t catch him and he didn’t even lead after 3 months with the trainer. We finally got to the arena and started to fix things. He absolutely hated people and didn’t trust us, or anything we brought around him.

When I got him to allow me to put the saddle on he decided it was time to get the saddle off and bucked so hard the dirt from the bottom of his foot hit the arena roof and is still stuck in the insulation. I had other horses there I was starting but Dealer got the longest session and after the second day I started to give him two session a day. He would buck until he played out then walk around catch his breath and go again. It took me 2 hours of warm up and ground prep the first day to manage a 2-minute ride. By the end of the 5th day, against my recommendation, the owner took a ride on him, the ride went well but there was lots left to do and the owner said why don’t you take the horse. I said I appreciated it but no thanks. The work it would take to bring him around would keep me from riding all my other horses and I could get 4 regular horses going in the time I would spend on Dealer.

I have a habit of taking horses that have had a real bad deal along the way and try to help them out the other side. I already had ones at home that I had said yes to that were a real handful. So we decided to put another 5 days on him to see how much more could be done. By the end of the second week, it took about an hour and a half to get him ready for a half hour ride. I worked him off another horse with lots of groundwork and worked on his confidence all the while trying to get him to see that he could trust people.

r001949948

I remember he never moved his lips the whole first week.

They were pinched tight. He had a hard look in his eye and hardly ever blinked.

The second week things were getting better but still had a long way to go. The owner said, “you know Glenn, you should take this horse home”. I have to be honest, I had considered it the first week, but I was trying to be disciplined and not take any more tough ones on and just ride some of the horses I had at home. I was proud of myself when I said no thanks again. So the owner asked me to take him home and put another 10 days on him. It was getting into spring, so I thought it would be nice to get outside and ride. I was getting pretty fond of Dealer and was having a lot of fun trying to figure him out, trying do the right things, and trying not to get bucked off. He was making changes for the better but he made me work for every little bit of improvement.

After 10 days, the warm up was down to 15 minutes and I could go for a nice ride. But you had to do it right, leave no stone unturned as they say, or you’d be looking like a lawn dart. The owner came by seen the progress and watched as I loped across the field but still said “Glenn you should have that horse”. I had been warned earlier before he arrived that I was not to take that horse. I couldn’t resist, he looked and rode just like black gold. Yes, it was going to take some more work but he’s all horse and, honestly, he was teaching me. Every day, Dealer reminded me “get it right or you will eat some dirt”. I never did eat any dirt and Dealer went on to be one of my favorite horses. So, whenever a student thought they had it all figured out at The Horse Ranch, I would ask them to go catch Dealer. They’d come back hours later with an empty halter. Farriers would come to trim him and he was fine if you were polite but if not, he would let you know. Three different farriers got a gentle kick in the pants.

Time goes by. Dealer hasn’t done much for a year or so and I needed a lease horse for a fellow coming from Manitoba this spring. The fellow has been here before and has been tough on himself but fair. He is always working hard trying to improve and understand more about the horse.

I think to myself this fellow deserves a gift, and Dealer will be his gift. The fellow, Glen, who happens to have the same name as me, will get to feel the softness, willingness, responsiveness, and athleticism of what black gold feels like. Dealer gets to teach again. I also think to myself, this will also be a great gift for Dealer. Glen’s kindness and willingness to be tough on himself, but tries very hard to be fair to the horse, is a gift I can give to Dealer. Both Dealer and Glen have earned a gift. Dealer has always been tough but fair on the people that handled him. He gave them no more and no less than they deserved.

Now to the best part of the story! Glen’s first attempt to catch Dealer took 4 and a half hours. Each day he went out to catch Dealer it got easier and took less time. On the 8th day, Glen walks out to the pasture and Dealer is laying

down. He watches as Glen approaches but doesn’t get up.

Glen cautiously gets nearer to where he can get a hand on him, kneels down next to Dealer in the grass and pets Dealer just like he has every time he gets near him. Dealer relaxes, so Glen puts the halter on and Dealer still lays there. Glen continues to rub him and Dealer lays out completely flat and allows Glen to just hang out with him enjoying the morning sun trusting completely in his new friend. We put halters on lots of horses while they are laying down at the ranch and in the mountains but Dealer is not a everyday horse. Over the 8 days, Glen had earned the trust of Dealer and they both give each other a unique and powerful gift.

Some of you know Dealer and some of you know Glen.

Some of you know both or have tried to catch Dealer so the story will mean more to those of us that have experienced it. It might sound corny to some, but it has great meaning to many of us. I know what it takes to get into Dealer’s good books and, Glen, with much respect, I say well done!

Dealer was and is Tough but Fair on the people that have handled him and has taught many lessons to more than a few people.

Enjoy, Glenn Stewart

Anxiety and phobias in our pets Emily Wilson, DVM Many of our pets suffer from anxiety, and/or behavioural issues. Some of our pets can be overly fearful of some situations and others can be very anxious all the time. The goal of this article is to help you understand these fears and if they are affecting you and your pets’, as well as offer some treatment options available to you and you four legged family members, and strip some of the stigma associated with mental health. It is always good to rule out behavioural problems related to disease, such as the animal being sick or in pain. The veterinarian will often start with a thorough physical and neurological exam. If these are normal, then the mental/behaviou][‘ 3ral aspect of the pet can be explored.

Disclaimer: As with treating depression and anxiety in humans there is no one treatment regime that will work with all patients. Often you will have to work closely with your veterinarian to find the right combination of treatments that will be successful with your pet.

Fears are not always maladaptive (useless or counter productive). They are responses that allow an animal to avoid potentially dangerous situations in the act of self preservation. Anxiety is the anticipation of danger when there is no apparent threat. Phobias are an exaggerated level of fear when compared to the level of danger, they tend to be maladaptive. The most common anxiety is separation anxiety, usually when human family members leave the house. The most common phobia is related to thunder storms.

These responses are not rational ones, so they can be associated with any and sometimes no apparent situation.

Dogs tend to pant, whine, tremble, chew or scratch things; self-mutilate and sometimes can act aggressive towards people or other pets. Cats tend to hide, vocalize, urinate outside of the litter box, and can be aggressive towards people and other pets.

When an animal is presented with a scary situation there are two pathways in the brain to help deal with the situation. The first one is a fast signal that goes to the central brain (lizard brain) that will initiate a physiological response so that we (also animals) can escape (increase in heart rate, blood pressure, dilate the pupils etc.). A second slower signal goes to the fore brain and allows us to interpret the threat and gauge the response that is required. It will then allow the animal to flee or will send a signal to dampen down the first reaction. So this is why when something startles us like a book falling off a table our heart rate increases and we take a deep breath but we don’t go running and screaming or end up in a heap on the floor crying. When an animal has a problem with anxiety or phobias there is a problem with one of these two pathways. They either do not work or are working way too much. So the problem lies with biochemistry of nervous pathways in the brain. To treat the problem we need to treat the brain. Some pets also benefit from behaviour modifying drugs to help with

their training. Dogs that are stressed and hyperactive have a decreased learning capacity, because they can’t focus.

We will first go over the all-natural treatment options, because they are less invasive. The most natural treatment is behaviour modification. This is an option for specific phobias. There are certain things that we can do to help our pet deal with the situation in a constructive manner. The most common mistake is doting over our pet when they exhibit this behaviour. It feeds this negative behaviour because when they exhibit it we run and take care of them thus solving the problem. So when a similar situation presents itself the overreaction will bring us running to save them. If this treatment option is chosen it takes a large investment of time and commitment from the entire family. All of the pharmaceuticals require a certain amount of behavior modification in order to have the best results.

There are pheromone products that can decrease anxiety in our pets. Feline facial pheromone (Feliway) is a synthetic reproduction of the pheromone that cats will rub around their territory when they feel safe. Yes, when a cat rubs up against your leg it is marking you as their safe territory – take it as a complement. It makes them feel safe. Dog appeasing pheromone (Adaptil) is a synthetic reproduction of a pheromone released by the mammary tissue of nursing female dogs. Zylkène is a complementary feed for cats and dogs which contains a natural product, derived from casein, a protein in milk. It is a molecule well known to promote the relaxation of newborns after breastfeeding. This product is also available for horses. This product can be used if you know your pet is going to undergo stress, i.e. at the boarding kennel, or for chronic issues.

There are many medications that we have borrowed from human medicine that work very well to treat anxiety and phobias in our pets. They are designed to very specifically alter biochemical reactions in the brain. Not every medication works for every animal and not every animal will tolerate every medication. Every medication has potential adverse effects so these need to be discussed with your veterinarian

Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic

when choosing which medication to use on your pet.

Some conditions require more than one medication.

One that they are on all the time and another we can give just before scary or stressful situation. Most of the medications require 3-4 weeks of use before we can assess if they will work for your pet.

Anxiety and phobias can be very debilitating for some pets and unfortunately they tend to get worse with age. There are many treatment options available.

A behaviour consult with your veterinarian will allow them to discuss with you the treatment options and together you can come up with a treatment plan for your pet. Animal mental health is beginning to be a more recognized health issue. www.dcvet.ca

Did You Know?

Alsike Clover poisoning is a common condition seen in horses of the Peace River region. It can be a very serious toxicosis and depending on the amount eaten can even lead to the death of a horse.

Alsike clover can be red or white and can be distinguished from nonharmful clover, as alsike clover has no watermark (inverted v) on its leaf.

When horses are exposed to alsike clover they will get what looks like a sunburn (photosensitivity), become lethargic, have yellowing of the gums, develop nervousness and this is a result of liver damage. If you are concerned about Alsike poisoning call the clinic today.

WCVM underwent a major expansion and renovation between 2004 and 2011.

“We increased our footprint by about 30 per cent and renovated another 30 per cent of the college as well,” Freeman says. “That affected every part of what we do - clinics, research, diagnostics and our teaching facilities. We have also continued with projects every year, updating and upgrading the facilities.”

Community contact is important for WCVM, whether it be running the large and small animal clinic on a 24/7 basis or providing informational outreach programs for livestock and pet owners.

“We are definitely not cloistered behind ivory towers,” Freeman says. “That engagement and partnership with the communities is important for the college. Of course as a regional college, that means engagement across all of the supporting provinces, so we cover a lot of miles.”

Many alumni have travelled great distances to be in Saskatoon next week. It will start with a continuing education conference, with most of the speakers being former WCVM students or faculty, followed by celebratory events. Full details are available on the university website.

by Neil Billinger The first veterinary college in Western Canada celebrated its 50th anniversary last week in Saskatoon.

More than 400 people were registered for the Western College of Veterinary Medicine conference and homecoming, June 11 to 13 at the University of Saskatchewan.

Prior to 1965, veterinary training was only available at schools in Eastern Canada. It took several years of negotiations between the four western provinces to develop a funding formula and select Saskatoon as the location.

“Our college is really a partnership, a shared ownership of one college for the four western provinces,” says Dr. Douglas Freeman, WCVM Dean.

The partnership is important because it’s expensive to run a veterinary school. In the final year, one specialist works with only four or five students in a clinical teaching environment. There’s also all of the equipment required to operate a modern school, such as MRIs, CT scans and linear accelerators for treating cancer in companion animals.

won by Justine Elliot.

Hussey also noted that having top riders come to Dawson Creek adds an element of competitiveness to the event, allowing local riders to see where they stand.

“It was very competitive, it was awesome,” She added. “Some of the girls down in Calgary, they are winning down there and then they come up here and we are very competitive with them, so it’s nice to see.”

As for the event returning for a third year? Hussey gave an unequivocal yes.

“Oh yes, plans are already in the works for next year,” she said. sports@ahnfsj.ca

Two years ago, barrel racers from Dawson Creek had a limited opportunity to measure their talent against the riders in Northern B.C. and Alberta.

Those opportunities usually meant a five-hour plus haul to events anywhere from Mayerthrope to Calgary.

That was until last year, when a group of ladies decided it was time for their own event, one right here at home in Dawson Creek.

And so the Peace Country Futurity and Derby & Hands on Horses Spring Barrel Race was born.

“Usually all the girls from the north, we have to travel down to Mayerthrope is the closest, [and] Ponoka or Calgary. So we wanted something here so we can actually compete in our hometown and we’ve got a great facility here so why not use it,” Yvonne Hussey said, who co-organized the event along with Rendal and Marti Bishop, Jen Osgood and Heather Moat.

Overall the event from Friday to Sunday at the Lakota Agriplex was a huge success, a credit to many people Hussey explained.

“It was absolutely fantastic,” she said. “Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves and we didn’t have any major wrecks, so it was good…We had a lot volunteers and we wanted to thank all of our volunteers and our sponsors as well.”

89 riders competed in the open division which was for horses of any age, while 20 competed in Futurity (five-year-old horses) and 20 competed in Derby (six and seven year old horses). There was also a youth division with 20 competitors and 10 in the pewee division. In the open category particularly, Hussey said that the rider base had grown by more than 30 over the first event.

Winners in the open category included, Devyn Rutz in the first division, Frankie Wilson in the second division and Wilana Collins in the third division. Sierra Jones was the top rider in the youth first division, Kaylie Girouard was first in the second division and Payden Johnson was first in the third division.

Jordie Likes was the top Futurity rider and Sonda Marks was the top rider in the Derby category.

There was also a open pole bending competition, won by Chanel Trenholm. The Youth Poles event was

While overall meat prices have increased steadily, both beef and pork experienced significant gains in early 2014. But while pork prices have more or less leveled off, beef continues to increase monthly.

“At the retail level, beef prices are expected to remain high given tight supplies and strong demand,” says Jason Wood, provincial livestock market analyst, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Edmonton. “The big question is whether consumer demand will hold moving forward.”

The Canadian consumer price index for beef has increased over 28% between January 2014 and April 2015. “As such, it’s not surprising that beef consumption has fallen given the large price increases that have followed tight supply,” says Wood. “One very good point for the market is that Canadian and US beef demand is robust relative to price levels. Current prices would suggest lower consumption levels but that simply is not the case.”

Retail pork prices remain high even though hog prices have moved lower. At the retail level pork prices increased in 2014 and have been slow to move lower as retailers try to recover previous losses.

Between January 2014 and April 2015 the Canadian consumer price index for pork increased over 16%.

“The consumer price index for lamb and mutton has

increased about 7% since January 2014,” says Wood.

“Lamb and mutton continues to benefit from increasing demand given changing Canadian demographics and high retail prices for red meats.

“Chicken prices have increased just over 5% since January 2014. Chicken prices are forecasted to stay stable, but the unknown impact of the avian influenza situation (H5N2) in the US could significantly change market fundamentals.”

The highly pathogenic H5N2 moving through US poultry operations will be an area to watch over the short term, says Wood. “Since December 2014 there have been 219 detections across the US affecting over 46 million birds. Most affected operations have been turkeys and egg-laying chickens, and those affected operations account for less than a half a percent of total US poultry.”

In response, a number of countries have imposed temporary trade restrictions on US poultry exports which has increased cold storage inventories. “As this situation continues, the potential exists for chicken and turkey prices to soften as additional supplies hit the North American market. Poultry markets in the short term will be monitoring the ongoing avian influenza situation in the US, but the number of cases should decline as the weather warms.”

June 13, 2015 (Fort St. John) - Mother Nature tried hard to spoil this year’s All-Star weekend in Fort St. John, but, in the end, the Wheatbelt Baseball League was able to complete its annual event.

The festivities began with the Skills Competition.

Ray Martens of the Rycroft Rage won a Rawlings jacket in the pitching contest by scoring the highest total of points in target accuracy. “Fastest Man in the League” went to Marc Krauss of the Grande Prairie Brewers who was able to run the bases in the shortest amount of time. Marc took home a Rawlings bag for his victory. A Mizuno bat went to hometown favorite, Ryan Stickel, after he won the final event of the

After a break, both by the players and Mother Nature, the sun finally came out and saw Team Stickel score 2 runs in the 1st inning to take the early lead, but good pitching and defence shut them down the rest of the way, as Team Bucknell scored 5 times to take the 2015 All-Star game 5 to 2.

League Commissioner Dave Allan would like to extend a big thank you to the City of Fort St. John and the Black Sox organization for hosting this year’s event as well as OT Sports of Peace River for being the event’s major sponsor.

The 2015 Organic Beef Mentorship program is open for applications.

“Organic Alberta offered the program last year with four pairs of mentors and mentees,” says Melisa Zapisocky, livestock manager, Organic Alberta. “The program was a big success and we’ve decided to offer it again this year.”

Under the program, selected transitioning producers, including those considering organic certification, will be paired with experienced producers to help them transition their herd to organic production. Participating mentees do not have to be certified organic at the time of the mentorship.

The Beef Mentorship program includes a site visit by the mentor to the mentee’s farm, as well as follow-up phone calls and e-mails. Mentors are paid up for up to eight hours of their time (plus mileage) to provide one-on-one coaching. Mentees pay a one hundred dollar fee to participate.

“Last year’s participants say they found the program to be very beneficial,” says Zapisocky.

“It was a big help to find out first hand from others what had and what had not worked for them.”

The program runs until December 31, but Zapisocky hopes to get the participants in place over the summer. “As organic livestock production focuses on grass-based beef, it’s the perfect time of year.”

To find out more about the program, contact Melisa Zapisocky at 587-521-2400.

The Statistics Canada 2014 food availability data for per capita consumption is out.

“The numbers show that meat availability and, therefore, consumption is declining in Canada,” says Jason Wood, provincial livestock market analyst, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Edmonton. “The reasons vary regarding consumption changes with overall beef, veal, pork, chicken, turkey, and lamb availability down just under 1% from 2013.”

Since the early 2000s beef, pork and turkey have declined 17.5%, 28% and a half a percent respectively. During the same period the big gains were in chicken and lamb, which gained over 7% and 20% respectively.

Per capita beef consumption in 2014 was 26.5 kg on a carcass basis, a slide of 3% from 2013. Beef consumption has been declining since the late 1970s.

“Cattle supplies remain tight given historically low cattle numbers in Canada and the US,” says Wood.

“The low cattle numbers have reduced slaughter; therefore, beef supplies will remain tight moving forward. While herd rebuilding started last year in the US, it will take a number of years before increasing herd numbers impact beef availability.”

While pork consumption has been more stable than beef, it declined to 20.63 Kg in 2014, a drop of 1.2% from 2013. Hog prices strengthened considerably in 2014 after the effects of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and strong meat demand. In response, hog producers in the US and Canada increased breeding herd sizes resulting in a significant increase in pork production over the last six months. In the US alone pork production is up over 6% compared to the same period a year ago.

“In 2014, per capita chicken consumption was 30.94 kilograms, which is an increase of 2.9% compared to 2013,” notes Wood. “Unlike beef and pork, chicken has enjoyed increasing per capita consumption levels from the 1960s through to the early 2000s.

Over the last decade chicken consumption has remained steady which is why last year’s increase is one to note. Turkey per capita consumption has remained relatively steady at just over 4 kilograms.”

In 2014, lamb per capita consumption increased 11% to 1.13 kilograms. Lamb consumption was relatively flat during the 1980s and 1990s, but started increasing in 2000 and is up 20% since then.

Teepee Creek Stampede Now that your feet are no longer weighed down by heavy winter boots, it’s time to get ready to kick up some dust at the 99th Annual Teepee Creek Stampede!

This year’s fun will kick off July 9th for four full nights of entertainment that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Ninety-nine years! That’s a lot of sporting history.

The Teepee Creek Stampede had humble beginnings, but has evolved considerably over the decades. The annual event originally started out as a sports day and community picnic where local residents got together once a year for ball games, horse races, bronc riding, water sports, and even boxing matches. The first ever Teepee Creek Stampede was held in 1917 and included a horse race across a full quarter section. It cost 50 cents to enter and the winner took home 5 dollars. Rough Stock events became an integral part of the Stampede in the 1930’s and Chuckwagon Races were added in the 1940’s. For many years, the Teepee Creek Stampede was the largest amateur rodeo in the north and one of the largest amateur events in Canada.

However, that’s all in the past. The Teepee Creek Stampede is now excited to be a part of the Pro Rodeo world!

Now a CPRA Pro Rodeo, the Teepee Creek Stampede also features races from the Western Chuckwagon

Association GMC Pro Tour of Thoroughbred chuckwagons and the All Pro Canadian Chuckwagon & Chariot Association ‘Taste the Dust’ Pro Tour pony chucks. Last year, over 50 Chuckwagon teams participated in the Stampede. Today, we bring some of the best cowboys and cowgirls in the world to compete in front of the Teepee Creek Stampede crowds. Audiences will be pleased to find that, although the Stampede is no longer an amateur rodeo, the event has maintained much of its history and some key local events such as the Wild Cow Milking & Wild Horse Race. The Teepee Creek Stampede is proud to allow both locals and Pro cowboys to enter these events and compete.

Other Teepee Creek Stampede traditions include the dances that have been a part of the festivities from the beginning. What began as barn loft dances in Mackenzie’s Barn is carried on to this day with nightly dances in the Enframe TP Barn. The Enframe TP Barn is a new addition to the Stampede Grounds that has built huge excitement over the past few years and can be seen from miles away. This multi-purpose facility has housed not only our Maddhatter’s Budweiser Beer Gardens and live sold-out concerts, but is also used to host the Miss TP Creek Queen public speaking competition, fashion show, pancake breakfasts, sponsored suppers, and much more! The excitement doesn’t stop there either; contemporary country artist Clay Walker will be playing live at the Teepee Creek Stampede on Friday, July 10th in the Enframe TP Barn while CCMA and Juno Award winner Corb Lund makes Teepee Creek a stop on his 2015 Counterfeit Blues Tour on Saturday, July 11th!

In addition, the grandstands have been improved and a lot of other changes will be noticed by those in attendance

including the Teepee Creek Church restoration project.

The volunteer association has worked diligently to restore the well-known Teepee Creek United Church which had fallen into disrepair. It has been moved onto the rodeo grounds and you can’t miss this beauty as it sits in the infield awaiting its new purpose.

The Church, originally built in 1929, will be the focal point of the BRAND NEW TP Backstage pass program during the Stampede. This great new program will allow Teepee Creek Stampede fans to be part of the action; when taking part in the program, they will receive exclusive VIP infield access including: lunch with rodeo contestants each day before the performance, exclusive infield grandstand seating, and, if your contestant wins his or her event, YOU win a set of Canadian Finals Rodeo tickets for all 6 performances!

With a jam-packed schedule including the Miss Teepee Creek Stampede Competition, Junior Rodeo, pancake breakfasts, Family Day events, free camping, local and Pro Rodeo events, chuckwagon racing, and much more, the 99th Annual Teepee Creek Stampede is sure to be a weekend you don’t want to miss!

The Teepee Creek Stampede is eagerly looking forward to 2016 when the Stampede will celebrate its 100th Anniversary! Be sure to watch the website for updates on this very special occasion at http://www.tpstampede.ca/ Grab your family, tell your friends, and don’t miss the 99th Annual Teepee Creek Stampede Stampede; “4 days in the wild” are coming your way July 9, 10, 11, and 12, 2015!

By Dean Dyck—AARD Business Management Specialist Newsletter of the Peace Country Beef and Forage Association (May, 2015) Higher cow and calf prices have some producers and land owners re-visiting their pasture leases.

Pasture rental rates can be difficult to figure out because there are many factors to consider: local availability of land and pasture, localized demand, quality of the pasture, condition of the existing fences and water, and bargaining. Preliminary indications for 2015 grazing season are that demand for pasture will continue to be strong, even though the recent Statistics Canada cattle inventory shows a de-cline of beef cows of 3% and replacement heifers of 2.7% in Alberta.

Grass cattle numbers are also down due in part to the large price slides seen in the past few years. An expected increase in pasture rent this year can be attributed to the higher prices for calves, the lack of grassers, and the decline in available pasture in the province.

The supply of pasture is highly dependent on the weather. While soil

moisture in the fall and winter snow has some effect, between 60 and 70 percent of total forage production occurs between April and July 1. Precipitation is highly variable from year to year and predicting pasture conditions is very difficult.

In general, variations in rent from year to year are small. Based on data from custom rate surveys, pasture rental in the province has traded between $18

ning Pasture Rental Rates

and $26 per animal unit month (AUM) on average, since 2005.

Surveys aside, setting a fair rental rate should be a balance between who will be supervising the cattle, how much can the landlord charge, how much the tenant can afford to pay and the carrying capacity of the pasture.

The landowner’s goal should be to recover land taxes, the cost of any fence repairs, and a return on land investment.

Conversely, the tenant should calculate what they could afford to pay based on

projected costs and returns.

For example, if the rented pasture will be used to graze steers, the tenant should consider the price for feeder cattle in the spring, what the expected selling price will be in the fall, and what some of the costs of pasturing will be including mineral and salt, medication, and interest on investment in cattle. In addition, any labour and possible travel costs should be estimated if the home place is far from the cattle.

Based on this information, the maximum amount to pay for pasture can be estimated but should be tempered by the quality of pasture and location relative to the home farm and water supply.

Even though owners and renters want a definitive answer when asking about pasture rental rates, the best answer may be “it depends”. It should start with a survey of the local market rates, calculating expected return for both parties, negotiating a fair rate, and end with a written agreement.

New ALR rules give farmers New regulations make it easier for northern farmers to stay on their land after retirement ALR reforms ease restriction for farmland in interior and north; create local panels for land commission decisions

Jonny Wakefield alaska highway news

Farmers looking to build on their land or earn non-farm income from their property will be less tied down by the province’s farmland regulator, Peace River South MLA Mike Bernier announced Monday.

At a rural property in Dawson Creek, Bernier unveiled a raft of regulatory changes to the province’s Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), outlining the nuts and bolts of the province’s controversial Bill 24.

That bill, passed last year, divided the ALR into two zones and cut regulations dating back to the land

more options make more money off the land without making it detrimental to farming.”

They include a new “lease back” provision that allows retired farmers to sell their farms while continuing to live in their homes. Bernier said lease backs were an improvement on the earlier homesite severance system, saying the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) made it difficult to remove a home from a piece of farmland.

“I’ve heard people saying they’ve been on the land for 40 or 50 years, and they don’t want to move away but they do want to sell their farm to have that income to retire on,” he said. “Lease back lets them sell the farm, but they can keep their house and lease it back until they want to leave.”

Bill 24 would also make it easier for farmers to build secondary dwellings on their properties, either for a son or daughter taking over the farm, or renters.

As well, a new regional panel made up of farmers from Dawson Creek, Fort St. John and Prince George will take

over some ALC decision- making in the region, in response to complaints that people “down south” had too much say in what Northern farmers do with their land.

“Now, people who live here, who understand the area will make the decision,” Bernier said. “They can drive out there and look at the land and make a decision, instead of looking on a map.”

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick made a similar announcement Monday.

The bill’s most fundamental change is a provision dividing the ALR into two zones. The Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and parts of the Okanagan form Zone One, which is subject to stricter protections to prevent urban sprawl. Zone Two includes the interior and north, where the government says there are fewer pressures on farmland.

Farming, like it used to be done

The present: A new combine takes 20 minutes to do what used to take hours.

“They have such big equipment and one great big tractor, and it’s one drive across and they’re done.”

William Stodalka

Alaska Highway News

Last week, Shane Wagner was joined by other Peace Region residents in seeding oats the old-fashioned way — with teams of horses.

Ten horses divided between three teams did in a number of hours work that might normally be done by machines in a quarter of the time.

The team laid out 23 acres of oats using teams of horse-drawn equipment.

Wagner said he has been doing this for about nine years.

“It's more fun than riding around the bush with a quad,” he said. “Driving horses is more fun than driving a car.”

At the end of June, Wagner will begin converting the material into hay. In September, it will be cut with a binder and threshed to separate the grain. reporter@ahnfsj.ca

The Past: Traditional horse-drawn farming equipment was used until the end of World War II, said Shane Wagner.

“In the war, all the manufacturing went to war equipment,” he said. “After the war, they started building the tractors, and the new equipment came in … the seeding or cutting was done by the family, but when it came to a threshing machine, one man had a machine, and he would travel from farm to farm.”

The Northern Horizon, June 19, 2015

“The new ones have so much electronics — three or four years down the road, it’s just about wore out,” he said. “Our grass cutter can sit beside a tree for 50 years, and we can put it to work.”

The Northern Horizon, June 19, 2015

On the open road The problem with the way some small business owners think I talk to a lot of small business owners in the course of a day.

I am always amazed by those conversations, some in a good way and others in a way that gives me pause for thought.

Recently I phoned an Alberta based motorcycle repair shop to find out the price of a front and back tire for my bike - installed and out the door. I wanted the Michelin Commander II Tires.

When I was told the price, I almost fell on the floor. $635 before install and tax. I was offered a 10% discount cause I am such a nice person, making the price for just the two tires about $570+ tax.

I did not appreciate that pricing at all.

So I went snooping and found that I could get two tires, delivered to my door - the exact same Michelin Commander II tires that I had asked for a quote on, in Canadian funds for $391.77 So I called the shop back and got told that they do not appreciate installing something that didn’t come from their shop and that if consumers like me keep shopping on the internet there would be no repair shops left to work on their motorcycle.

Now I understand that internet shopping has taken the retail sector back a bit, but can you really truly blame the consumer who is looking to make their money work harder for them?

If that online retailer can offer the exact same products, not seconds or thirds, but top brand name products for 35% - 40% cheaper than you can, you are buying from the wrong distributor.

These people still have a warehouse to stock, they have employees, they pay insurances and taxes...so why are some brick and mortar stores so offended when they are asked to install a product a customer purchased elsewhere?

You are still making the labour rate, which at many shops is upwards of $140 an hour.

I was taken aback by this shop owners attitude and demeanour and how it changed the minute I asked how come his price for tires was so high.

I work hard to see all sides of any equation in any situation I wrote about, but seriously, I am struggling with this one.

Some parts I can see being a pain when they are purchased on line.

They might be 2nd’s or 3rd’s and not fit well or do the job right, I get that. Or the consumer had no idea what they were buying...and then the consumer gets frustrated - I understand those are challenging issues...

But we are talking tires here. BRAND NAMED TIRES. There are certain things I would never buy online, and what small amount of money I have to spend on products, I do my best to use to purchase locally, but seriously...

Why would I pay you, Mr. Motorcycle Repair guy, 40% more for the exact same tires? Is it because you are such a nice guy that you deserve to make $200 on the sale more than the other retailer?

And don’t give me the BS about overhead. As I said, these people pay employees, have insurance and building expenses and all that goes along with running a business. So what is the real reason that I should give you an extra $200 for?

If I can accomplish my mission as a customer to have 2 new tires put on my motorcycle for $600 as opposed to close to $800 - why shouldn’t I? And what a great marketing tactic....

Why would you chew a person a new arse over thinking of purchasing brand named tires on the internet?

Why is it a shameful thing for a customer to want or need to get the most for their hard earned dollar?

If you don’t have to stock them, have them taking up space, costing you shipping fees and staff time to unpack and inventory them, why would that be a thorn in your side?

Can you really blame your customer for wanting to keep some money in their pocket to ride with?

What are your thoughts on this topic? I deeply, really want to know how you would react to being lectured about supporting small business by a man who wants you to pay 35% - 40% more for the exact same quality of product, the same brand name? 5% more, maybe 10% more but 40%?

Talk to me....

Have a great day and if you are blessed to be riding today, please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you.
