By Owen Roberts The exceptionally warm weather recently in Ontario is coaxing the hardiest and most stubborn plants out of the ground early.

Canada fleabane, for example, already looks like it’s the dominant species in some winter wheat fields.

Observers have taken note.

“People are saying that some Canada fleabane fields are having a problem with winter wheat crowding it out,” says Dale Cowan, senior agronomist with the AGRIS and Wanstead Co-op.

That’s a tongue-in-cheek statement, but it’s also an Commercial Buildings

Add your own message by selecting:

accurate assessment. Winter wheat was typically overseeded last fall, resulting in dense but thin-stemmed stands. Canada fleabane is a viable competitor against such stands.

But that’s not all. Cowan is also concerned the weak stems will result in lodging. He’s encouraging producers to not even think about early nitrogen applications, which will further promote tall growth.

“It’s too early... wheat doesn’t need nitrogen now and the risk of environmental loss is too high,” Cowan says. “Delay your nitrogen application until you can get rid of some of the tillers.”

No one can blame producers for wanting to do something out in their fields, given the amazingly warm weather. And of course the desire to plant early weighs in, too.

Early planting often means higher yields, and since September 2015 through to February 2016, the average temperature in Ridgetown – a key corn- and soybean-growing region in Ontario - was 6.1 C. For the same period in 2014-2015, it was 1.6 C. The weather there has also been appreciably drier, with 90 millimetres less than between September 2014 to February 2015, and 150 millimetres less than the average. Comparatively, dry fields will further tempt producers to get out on them. But Cowan warns unnecessary tillage will take its toll on thirsty land.

“Conserve the moisture for germination,” Cowan advises.

He has a couple of alternative suggestions for outdoors work.

First, he says, spend some time in the shed – maybe open the doors – and get the planter ready. If the warm and dry weather continues, early planting could well follow towards the end of April.

Second, scout fields for early-emerged weeds – such as the Canada fleabane he mentioned, which is getting a head start on the season. Be prepared to adjust weed management plans, depending on what other weeds make an early appearance.

And don’t be too surprised by the early arrival of more unwelcomed greenery.

“We’re all solar powered when the sun shines,” Cowan says. “Canada fleabane is enjoying the weather, just like the rest of us.”

AgCoalition formalizes plans for a producer-led structure to engage the agriculture community on Bill 6 (Calgary, Alberta), March 10, 2016 – The AgCoalition is pleased to announce that they have formed an Industry Leadership Advisory Committee (ILAC); a producer-led group that will guide AgCoalition initiatives from engaging with farmer and rancher peers to representing their interests in the consultation phase of Bill 6.

The ILAC builds on the positive momentum of the AgCoalition’s activities and was formalized during the second AgCoalition meeting on March 2nd. The ILAC will consist of one producer from each of the AgCoalition’s 29 member organizations.

“The AgCoalition has operated as a ‘by producers, for producers’ organization since our inception,” said Kent Erickson, AgCoalition Co-Chair. “Formalizing the Industry Leadership Advisory Committee takes this a step further by putting the structure in place to connect our producer ambassadors with their peers

across the province.

One of the ILAC’s functions will be to host meetings in Southern, Central and Northern Alberta to garner Bill 6-related feedback from producers. Dates and locations for these meetings will be announced in the coming weeks and sessions will take place throughout the consultation process.

“A face-to-face connection is the best way to engage with producers to make sure they know what’s happening at the consultation tables and to give them an opportunity to provide feedback,” said Page Stuart, AgCoalition Co-Chair.

The AgCoalition continues to encourage producers to write info@agcoalition.ca with questions, comments and feedback and invites producer-based organizations not yet involved in the AgCoalition to join us.

One of the most widely-requested publications from Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) is the Crop Protection publication, also known as the “Blue Book” in industry circles. Revised annually, the Blue Book includes the most up-to-date information around crop protection. “The most important part of the annual update includes newly-registered pesticide products” says Mark Cutts, crop specialist at the Ag-Info Centre. “This’s year’s edition includes new herbicides, insecticides, seed treatments, and foliar fungicide.”

In addition to including new products, previously registered products are updated. Significant changes in some products, crops covered, and usage instructions give producers more options than ever. “The majority of the new pre-seed herbicides are registered for use ahead of seeding cere-

als, but there is one pre-seed product registered for use ahead of canola” says Cutts.

Other new herbicide products are registered for in-crop use for a variety of crop types. In addition, a number of new fungicides have been registered for use in 2016, and new foliar fungicides are available for use on pulse crops, canola, and cereal crops. A small number of insecticides and seed treatments were also added to the 2016 Blue Book, mostly for potatoes.

When using pesticides, it is important to be aware of pesticide resistance. “It is recommended that pesticide products be selected based on chemical group and active ingredient. Purchasing pesticides products based on newly registered product names could lead to repeated use of a chemical group, and increase the risk of developing pesticide resistance,” says Cutts. All pesticide products presented in the Blue Book have their chemical group and active ingredient listed. By using this information, the risk of developing pesticide resistance can be reduced.

Breakfast Brief

Tempered Spring Forward?

Grains are heading towards the end of March with a lot of eyes on the early spring most of the northern hemisphere is seeing (and the obvious itch to scratch dirt earlier than normal!). Wheat is leading the spring rally (if you want to call it that), thanks to freezing temperatures across most winter wheat growing states. As warmer day-time temperatures had reduced snow-cover and brought more than a few tillers out of dormancy, what we get is a killing freeze, albeit some speculators think that the bulls are over-optimistic that much of the crop is dead.

While weather markets can often be led by wheat as indication for the rest of the complex, a spring rally may not be the massive 25%-like move that most are hoping for, but more of a tempered 5-10% upswing.

While we’re approaching the April deadline that China is expected to make a final decision on their dockage tolerance for canola imports, there’s more speculation that China will start to import more canola meal and canola oil, as was the case the last time China restricted canola seed imports over blackleg concerns. Nonetheless, canola exports have slowed down a bit through mid-March from their pace that was 20% ahead of last year, thanks to the Canadian Dollar pushing closer to that 80 cent handle as oil prices starting to trade back into the $40s / barrel level.

Staying in Canadian canola, the nation’s farm ministry, the A.A.F.C., is betting 20.9 million acres of the oilseed will get planted, not surprising given the likely pull back in wheat acres, of which 24 million acres of the cereal are expected to get planted. This would be a drop of about 2% year-over-year (some private estimates are as high as 5% lower) but with that sort of acreage, and the current export activity, this would put the 2016/17 Canadian wheat carryout at 3.7 million tonnes, or the lowest level since the 1960-61 marketing year. Obviously, the A.A.F.C. raised pulse area too, to 4.2 million acres of peas and 4.45 million acres of lentils (+14% and +13% from last year, respectively).

With soybean prices staying tempered, Allendale Brokers released their annual grower survey of intended U.S. planted acreage, and it’s no surprise that less soybeans are expected to go in. Down slightly from last year, 82.58 million acres are expected to get planted (U.S.D.A. at 82.5 million, Informa at 84 million), which, at trend-line yields, would suggest a crop of 3.72 Billion bushels. For corn, 90.43 million acres are expected to get planted according to the Allendale survey (U.S.D.A. at 90 million, Informa at 89.5 million), up 2.43 million from last year, and could produce a 13.6 Billion bushel crop. As for wheat, 51.77 million acres are estimated to get planted (equates to 2B bushels!), a drop year-over-year but still above the 51 million acres the U.S.D.A. or the 51.2 million acres Informa is speculating. Overall, the market sentiment suggests that any change in acres in the coming weeks will be tempered, but with Mother Nature playing her warmer hand sooner than later, the bulls do have more of spring in their step.

Saskatchewan farm meeting calls for orderly marketing of grain (Raymore, Sask., March 13, 2016) Over 40 farmers from the Raymore, Saskatchewan area met March 13th and passed a resolution calling for “the establishment of orderly marketing of grain in western Canada.”

Kyle Korneychuk, spokesperson for the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance, an independent and non-partisan prairie-wide farm group noted: “This is the second farm meeting in as many months that has called for the orderly marketing of prairie wheat and barley.”

Korneychuk went on to note that “this level of concern is another strong indication to Ottawa that farmers are now feeling the loss of orderly marketing in their pocketbooks and it shows that the study by Dr. Richard Gray of the University of Saskatchewan demonstrating farmers lost about 6.5 billion dollars in the past two years is accurate.”

The meeting heard from economist Erin Weir who now sits as the MP for Regina-Lewvan. He reminded the audi-

ence that orderly marketing was an essential market tool for farmers.

Ruth Ellen Brosseau, the NDP agriculture critic, identified a number of key issues for agriculture heading for Parliament this session and pledged her party would support orderly marketing.

Bill Gehl, the farmer-elected chair of the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission pointed out that no matter how well the Commission did at supporting the creation of valuable wheat varieties, without orderly marketing the traditional values of those varieties are not coming back to farmers.

Wheat Board Alliance organizer and Brookdale, Manitoba grain farmer Andrew Dennis gave a report on the very successful recent visit to Ottawa he, Ken Larsen, Brendan Sigurdson, and Ken Sigurdson completed. “We met with 14 MPs and two Cabinet Ministers and received a warm welcome and a respectful hearing. Most important, nobody told us they thought our orderly marketing goal was impossible.”

Dennis reminded the meeting that the annual audited statements of the single-desk CWB showed that with the orderly marketing system prairie farmers received over 90% of the port price and now without the single-desk prairie farmers are only receiving between 40-60% of the port price for their wheat. He warned that “if this is going to be the new normal, grain farming in western Canada is going to hit a debt wall sooner rather than later and that will kill off our younger leveraged farmers.”

Stewart Wells, chairperson of the Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board, gave an update on the current status of the class action re-

garding the disposition of some of the assets of the dissolved farmerowned and directed Board. Stewart reported the next court date was set for October 24 of this year.

Kyle Korneychuk observed the single-desk CWB was the economic lynch pin which made prairie grain production viable by ensuring the efficient movement and reliable delivery of high qualityassured grain to customers and guaranteeing that farmers received the premiums customers paid. “To keep those advantages we need to market western grain in an orderly and efficient way through a singledesk selling system” he concluded.

The meeting concluded by unanimously passing the following resolution: WHEREAS, The loss of the farmer elected, single-desk Canadian Wheat Board has resulted in an increasingly dysfunctional rail system, no grain logistics oversight, a loss of transport efficiency on rail and at sea, reduced grain quality guarantees to other nations, and an overall loss of 6.5 billion dollars in income to farmers over the last two years, which has been devastating to the economy of Western Canada; and WHEREAS, The ending of the CWB marketing system has resulted in the loss of thousands of jobs across Canada including 460 direct good quality jobs in the heart of Winnipeg and a further 1,834 full-time equivalent jobs that were sustained by the CWB’s administrative expenditures; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That this meeting supports the farmers of Western Canada by calling for the establishment of orderly marketing for the selling of grain in western Canada.

FCC adding $500 million to Young Farmer Loan FARM CREDIT CANADA MARCH 11, 2016

Regina, Saskatchewan – Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is adding another $500 million to its ongoing commitment to a loan program aimed at helping young farmers become established in the industry.

Launched in March 2012, FCC’s commitment to the Young Farmer Loan has grown to $2 billion over four years, with almost 6,000 loans worth more than $1.3 billion approved, as of Dec. 31, 2015.

“FCC is proud to support the next generation of farmers through every stage of their career,” FCC President and CEO Michael Hoffort said. “Products like the Young Farmer Loan can make a real difference for producers looking to enter the industry or grow their business.”

The Young Farmer Loan provides qualified producers, under age 40, with loans of up to $500,000 to purchase or improve farmland and buildings. The loan includes variable lending rates at prime plus 0.5 per cent, a special fixed

rate if producers choose that avenue of repayment and no loan processing fees.

Shawn Paget, owner of Riverview Farm Corporation, used a Young Farmer Loan three years ago to acquire more land for his Hartland, New Brunswick-area potato farm.

“FCC’s Young Farmer Loan was exactly what we needed to expand our operations in order to grow a wider variety of cash crops, such as soybeans, corn and cereals,” Paget said.

“Access to flexible financing is very important when you are starting out or trying to become more established in the industry. It’s more than a loan – it’s an investment in the future of farming.”

Enabling young producers to borrow with no fees at affordable interest rates helps them develop a solid credit history and build their business.

“The long-term success of Canadian agriculture relies heavily on our ability to attract and retain young, innovative people to the business of agriculture,” said Lawrence MacAulay, minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. “By helping the next generation become established in this vital industry, FCC is fulfilling an important part of its mandate and a key commitment of this government.”

To find out more about the demographic impact of young farmers on Canadian agriculture, read the latest Ag Economist blog post at www.fcc.ca/ AgEconomist.

The Young Farmer Loan enhances FCC’s suite of existing products and services that support young producers, such as the FCC Transition Loan, FCC Ag Knowledge Exchange events, FCC Publications, FCC on Campus, and FCC Management Software for both accounting and field management.

In 2014-15, FCC approved more than $2.4 billion in financing to farmers under age 40, representing more than one-quarter of the $8.6 billion in disbursements last year to help customers expand or start their operations.

Wildlife and woodlots r0011206734

AGRI-NEWS MARCH 7, 2016

Jeff Renton, project manager with the Agroforestry and Woodlot Extension Society says that love of wildlife is one of the reasons people establish a woodlot on their property and having a proper management plan in place can help attract certain species.

“There’s great esthetic attributes from having wildlife whether it be deer, elk, a wide variety of birds or even moose,” he says.

Wildlife is typically attracted to older tree areas with a greater vertical complexity that offer protection for nesting or having that visual barrier for a travel

corridor, provide shelter from noise, and provide more shade in certain times of the day. Certain species also are looked upon more favourably as an abundant food source.

“The four main characteristics that would determine the type of animal attracted to a woodlot are the age classes, the width, the vertical complexity and the species of tree,” Renton says adding that Showy Mountain Ash, spruce and pine are all favourite food sources for wildlife.

Ag experts urge farmers to stay on top of fusarium FARM CREDIT CANADA MARCH 18, 2016

By Richard Kamchen Alberta Agriculture is urging continued farmer vigilance to limit fusarium head blight damage in the province.

FHB is a fungal disease that can infect numerous crops, with the most affected being wheat, barley and corn, according to the Canadian Grain Commission.

The primary cause of FHB is the fungus Fusarium graminearum, which causes significant grain yield and quality losses. It also causes the production of mycotoxins - the most common being deoxynivalenol - DON - that affect livestock feed, baking and milling qualities of wheat, and malting and brewing qualities of malt barley, Alberta Agriculture says. The CGC allows very little FHB tolerances in top grades.

Since the first serious outbreak was reported in Manitoba in 1984, F. graminearum has gradually moved westward.

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry crop business development specialist Bill Chapman notes fusarium remains in low numbers in the province, and levels even fell last year thanks to dry conditions.

But the only way to keep levels from rising is continued precautionary measures and best management practices, he says.

Many growers take their seed to labs for a test that detects the presence of F. graminearum through DNA. If the test results are positive, a complete fusarium test can discover how badly the seed is infected.

“And that’s been very effective,” Chapman says.

“Because we’ve had so many producers doing the DNA test, it’s limited a lot of those samples that have fusarium in it from being seeded, which is a good thing.”

Seed treatment has proven to be another valuable recommended practice, and more producers are spraying fungicides to limit the extent of infection.

“They’re using a combination of fungicides at the early stage of heading and getting reasonable suppres-

sion... We’re also recommending they rotate fungicides to stay away from potential risk of fungicide resistance developing.”

Chapman says new varieties are giving reason for more optimism. At the February Prairie Grain Development Committee meetings in Saskatoon, 27 new wheat cultivars received support for commercial registration.

“A number of them have increased their resistance to a moderately resistant rating, and the indications are a number of those varieties are also lower in DON content,” Chapman says.

Introducing other crops like pulses, flaxseed or winter wheat into a predominantly canola-wheat rotation would also reduce fusarium risk.

Alberta designated F. graminearum a “declared pest” under the Agricultural Pests Act in 1999, and developed best management practices to control it that are described in the Alberta Fusarium Graminearum Management Plan.

Alberta breaks new ground on enhancements to crop insurance AGRI-NEWS MARCH 21, 2016

Six new enhancements to the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation’s (AFSC) AgriInsurance programs will benefit crop and bee producers across the province. The developments include a new malt barley insurance product, the first of its kind in Canada.

“We are proud to be the first province in Canada to provide insurance coverage for a malting end-use to growers with malt barley contracts, as well as provide additional improvements to support bee and crop producers,” says Honourable Oneil Carlier, Minister of Alberta Agriculture Peace Country Sun

and Forestry. “Alberta producers have asked for these changes, and we have listened to their request. They work hard to put food on our tables, and we have to ensure that they get the support they need through insurance programs.”

AgriInsurance’s production insurance programs, which are part of the Growing Forward 2 initiative, help to mitigate the financial impacts of production losses by providing affordable insurance protection to producers. “AgriInsurance provides the flexibility for provinces to develop the products that respond to the specific needs of their producers. These enhancements provide additional protection for producers to manage the risks they face,”

The creation of a distinct category for yellow dry beans.

Additionally, AFSC clients will pay an average of six per cent less in multi-peril Annual Crop Insurance Program premium rates compared to 2015 levels. The reduction is based on the average of all crops in risk areas, and is related to the positive-loss experience in recent years.

In certain risk areas, the premium reductions will be higher or lower than the six per cent average.

Clients will also see a 14 per cent increase in dollar coverage per acre in 2016.

This increase is due to a combination of increasing spring insurance prices and yields.

says Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

AFSC, the Government of Alberta, the Government of Canada, and various producer groups worked together to make the enhancements based on producer feedback. “AFSC is proud to have worked with various producer groups, including the Alberta Alfalfa Seed Commission, the Alberta Beekeepers Commission, Organic Alberta, the Alberta Barley Commission, and the Alberta Pulse Growers Commission to make these much-needed improvements a reality,” says Brad Klak, President and Managing Director of AFSC. “Enhancements like these demonstrate Alberta’s commitment to providing comprehensive agriculture insurance programs to its producers.”

Daytona 500 and Horsemen The other day, a fellow said me, “I want to be a horseman”. Then he asked, “what is a horseman?” Then he said “how do I get to be one?” So I thought about it for a minute. I have my opinion of what a horseman is but I know there is a great deal of difference in what one person might call a horseman and what someone else would. So I asked him “who do you want to think of you as a horseman?” and he said “other horsemen.” Which brought us back full circle to what and/or who is a horseman? I said some people would say they know 20 horsemen in their community while another, depending on their horsemanship knowledge and of the horse industry, might say they know 20 in all of North America. Being considered a horseman by someone else will be determined by what they’ve seen, done or know about horses and the horse world.

I used the example of driving vehicles. The more you know about driving, for example, the more people you will know who drive but you wouldn’t consider them “drivers”. Some might say that Joe is an unbelievable driver.

“I’ve seen him spin donuts in the Safeway parking lot with his car; he is amazing, and he now offers lessons”.

The guy that drives in the Baja 1000 cross-country race or the Daytona 500 might not agree. Their idea of a driver, or someone who they would get a lesson from, would be very different than Joe. Out of these three drivers which two could teach you the most about driving? Chances are pretty good that the Daytona 500 and the Baja 1000

drivers could spin donuts in a parking lot. Joe, however, probably would get laughed out of the Daytona or get killed during the race.

So I broke it down some more and said if you’ve owned a vehicle all your life, rode in it and had never been in an accident, does that make you a driver?

What if you own multiple vehicles and drive 100,000 km a year, does that make you a driver? What if you have driven trucks, tractors and motorbikes, are you a driver? Does it make you a driver or do you just drive? If it does make you a driver, then what do you call the guy that won the Daytona 500 and the Baja 1000 and also drives all the above mentioned vehicles? If you saw Joe and the winner of the Daytona 500 drive to Safeway it would be hard to see a difference. However, the knowledge they would have to share with you and the driver you could become would be on different planets.

It would be like chalk and cheese. If you only want chalk, the ingredients are much different than if you want cheese. If you’ve never experienced either, it’s hard to know the difference.

They both take a while to make and, at the end, you will get chalk or cheese. If you knew before you started that it was cheese you wanted, I’m sure you’d pick the person that could help you make cheese.

You decide you want to drive like the Daytona driver. Just by watching him you would not see things even if he explained them first. He would have skills, feel, timing, terminology and understanding of what he does that he

could explain but you might not understand or be able to duplicate what he does, at least not at that moment. However, over time because he is a driver, he could show us how to become one.

He knows the path or route to take so it will happen if we have the desire to watch and learn.

So I said to the fellow, “you’re first going to have to determine what you think a horseman is. Once you have decided that, then you need to go hang out with one and stay there long enough to be able to do the things that are happening in front of you that you can’t even see today”. Ol’ Joe spins a mean donut in Safeway parking lot and is giving lessons but, so do a thousand other would be drivers. Then you talk with the Daytona 500 real driver and he says, “oh my, forget that and do your best to get rid of all the things that Joe told you. You have to completely change what you learnt over the past 3 years because it could actually be wrong and dangerous compared to good driving habits.

Also, do your homework before spending. We all have limited time and funds, so why not spend them on the very best instruction you can find. How can you spend the most time with the best you know and for the least amount of money? What is a better deal: $300 for 3 days or $450 for 3 days. For $300 you get 3 hours of instruction with that instructor (1 hour per day). A different instructor or clinician offers

3 days at $450 but you get 18 hours of instruction (6 hours a day for 3 days).

Doing the math it’s pretty obvious where your money is going the furthest.

At $300 for 3 days you actually paid over 3 times as much then if you had paid the $450. More importantly, are you getting help from someone you consider to be a horseman and not have to change everything later that you thought was fantastic at that time.

So what is a horseman? That is for you to decide. It can be easy or extremely challenging to become a horseman depending on what you think one is.

Choosing bulls and replacement heifers Written by Dr. Emily Wilson.

Calf birth weight (BW) is directly correlated to dystocia. There is a weight threshold that increases the dystocia rate dramatically. That is why some producers may have very few problems in the past, but a genetic change (new bull), or environmental change (cold winter) can increase the birth weight just enough to reach the threshold.

Some rules of thumb for threshold birth weight for heifers: British Breeds (Angus) 80lbs British X Continental 90lbs Continental Breeds (Simmental) 95lbs When you are crossing breeds, the calves will usually have a BW closer to the larger breed. This works well for increasing the weaning weight on calves, for your cow herd, but may cause a huge increase in dystocia for your heifers. Just as much as a bull contributes to BW so does the dam. This is why it is not recommended to select replacement heifers from your heaviest 10% at weaning. Over time this may increase your BW above the threshold, resulting in an increase in dystocia rates.

When to intervene: When Stage one labor has been going on for more than 6 hours, i.e. she is restless, showing maternal behavior to other calves, her cervical mucus plug is on her tail etc. This could be a sign of uterine torsion, or a breech calf (only the bum is presenting).

Stage two labour is defined as the first appearance of the water bag, to when the calf is delivered. In a normal cow this usually happens within 2 hours. If she is not progressing then you should examine her.

When performing your exam wash the cow’s vulva, and place obstetric gloves on. If you don’t have gloves wash your hands and arms with soap.

Placing the calving chains: Place the first loop above the calf’s fetlock (ankle joint), then make a half hitch in the chain and place it below the fetlock. This will reduce the risk of fracturing the calf’s leg.

When is it safe to use the calf jack? Rules to think about…

1. The cervix must be completely dilated, the calf head and front legs must be within the pelvis. (i.e. nose is approx. a hands length inside the cow).

2. The rule of thumb is the 275lbs rule. This is when you are able to pull the calf’s shoulders into the pelvis by hand. The knees should be visible, without slipping back in once you have let the tension go. If you achieve this you are able to pull the calf with the calf jack. 275lbs is roughly the pulling capacity of a strong man, or two smaller people. When pulling the calf you don’t have to rush, you can pull when the cow pushes.

If you are uncomfortable dealing with a dystocia or

Deferred grazing for a dry spring AGRI-NEWS MARCH 14, 2016

Pasture recovery is an important topic for Alberta producers on the heels of last year’s dry conditions, particularly given this year’s poor snow cover in the central and southern regions of Alberta.

“If we have a dry spring, producers will need to balance potential feed shortages with the need to protect their recovering pastures” says Karin Lindquist, forage/ beef specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

Pasture quality is key to maximizing the grazing season, so don’t get in a rush to get your cows on the greeningup pasture. “Typically, animals should not begin grazing until pasture forages are at least eight to 12 inches tall, or at the four or five-leaf stage, which is usually in mid-May for northern Alberta, and mid to late-April for southern Alberta.”

Early grazing can set the pasture back several weeks or months, and nutrient quality is lacking, “when cattle are consuming plants at emergence, they are

getting 90 to 95 per cent water rather than essential nutrients like energy and protein” says Lindquist.

So what’s the science behind deferring spring grazing? “Plants use energy stored in their roots to begin growth, and do not start generating their own energy with their leaves through photosynthesis until they are at the second to third-leaf stage” says Lindquist.

However, nutrients from the roots continue to be used for growth by the plant until after the plant reaches the fourth or fifth leaf stage. “After that, energy is primarily produced from the leaves via photosynthesis, and extra energy is stored in the roots,” says Lindquist.

The recovery time will ultimately maximize or extend available grazing days: “The rule we use is this: if producers are looking to extend grazing into the fall, for every day early they put their cattle out to graze in the spring, they may have three less days to graze in the fall.”

Livestock inventory estimates AGRI-NEWS MARCH 14, 2016

The January 1, 2016 Canadian livestock inventory estimates were released by Statistics Canada and Jason Wood, provincial livestock market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry says there were marginal changes and few surprises.

“Due to lower domestic slaughter and exports, inventory estimates reported a marginal increase in Canadian cattle. In Alberta, total cattle inventories saw a 0.4 per cent increase, while hogs increased 1.7 per cent in numbers. Conversely, Alberta sheep decreased 6.9 per cent from the previous year as farmers reduced herds” says Wood.

Beef replacement heifers were up 4.0 per cent on a national scale, and comparatively in Alberta at 5.2 per cent.

“Alberta had the strongest retention of beef replacement heifers, followed

by Saskatchewan and Manitoba.” Nationally, calf inventories increased 0.9

per cent to 3.8 million, while feeder heifers and steers dropped 1.2 per cent and 0.7 per cent, respectively.

Hogs inventories were up in Canada and Alberta from January 1, 2015 due to sow and gilt retention and increasing litter rates (which in turn increases supplies for slaughter and exports).

Domestic slaughter increased 4.2 per cent from 2014, and exports were up 16.4 per cent during the same period.

As for any unanticipated changes in the statistics, Wood says, “I think the biggest surprise is that beef cow numbers are slightly down nationally,” says Wood. “We expected it to stay on par with last year given the drop in beef cow slaughter and exports. Seeing the strong retention of replacement heifers in Alberta – in Western Canada – is a really good sign of potential herd expansion as we move forward.”

Study targets mangy-looking moose Staff Writer

PEACE REGION — A study gauging how mild winters and climate change are impacting infestations of winter ticks on moose across B.C. is underway, and the province is asking for the public to help count mangy moose.

The most telling symptom of a tick infestation on a moose is hair loss, which can be observed easily from a distance. The extent of hair loss is a rough indicator of how many ticks are present.

“A severely infested moose may have upwards of 100,000 ticks on it at any given time, so when these ticks start taking blood from the moose, it can have some pretty severe implications towards their surviv-

al,” said Mike Bridger, project lead, in an interview with the Alaska Highway News.

An infestation can lead to psychological and behavioural changes and ultimately, death.

“You can imagine the irritation involved with an infestation, so they spend a lot of time rubbing and grooming, they’ll lose a lot of their hair coat,” Bridger said.

“This irritation takes away from normal behaviour in the winter months, it takes time away from feeding and resting, and being vigilant for predators, which can ultimately lower survival in the winter, not to mention a large amount of blood loss that can occur.”

Bridger, a regional wildlife biologist based out of Fort St. John, has been involved with the project since its inception last year.

He says there’s evidence that suggests climate change and milder winters have resulted in ticks becoming more prevalent, and that “we may see them in areas that we’ve never seen them before.”

Last year’s study resulted in 360 observations of moose reported from across B.C., and more than 50 per cent of the moose observed were infested with ticks to some degree.

“The hot spots for tick infestation seemed to be in the Prince George-Omineca region, the Fort St. John Peace region, and the Smithers, Skeena region,” said Bridger.

He’s hoping the study, which he calls a ‘citizen science-based research project,’ will carry on long into the future.

“That’s the best way for us to get a long-term picture of what’s happening with ticks, we want to know if the distribution of ticks in moose is changing across the province, and also if the severity of infestations is increasing over time,” he said.

While other wildlife species like caribou and elk can also have winter tick infestations, studies show they don’t seem to be affected to the same degree as moose.

The winter tick, or Dermacentor albipictus, is unique in that it spends its entire life cycle on a single host.

As larvae, the ticks attach to a moose “usually during the fall season,” and, over the course of the fall and winter, take "blood meals" from the moose and grow. When females develop eggs, they drop off the moose and lay their eggs in leaf litter, Bridger explained.

The cycle continues into the following years.

Anyone who has observed moose with hair loss is asked to complete a BC Wildlife Health Program Moose Winter Tick Survey, and submit the form to FLNRMooseTickSurvey@ gov.bc.ca before April 30, 2016. peacereporter@ahnfsj.ca

with another sheet of foil and crimp up edges to make a foil pouch. Roast in 250°F (120°C) oven for 2 to 3 hours until meat is fork tender.

Meanwhile sauté garlic and onion in a bit of vegetable oil until softened. Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Reserve approximately 1 cup (250 mL) of sauce for dipping.

Brush ribs all over with the remaining sauce. If desired, grill briefly to set the sauce. Serve ribs with the reserved sauce for dipping.

Time Saver Tip: Use a bottled smokey flavoured barbecue sauce instead of making one from scratch.

Cook’s Notes: • Beef Grilling Back Ribs, also known as Beef Spare Ribs, come from the Prime Rib Premium Oven Roast – don’t confuse them with Beef Short Ribs. You can ask them to be cut for you at the meat counter and you may need to order them a day or two in advance. • Small cans of chipolte peppers can be found in the Mexican section of grocery stores. This hot chile is actually a smoked jalapeno. It adds a spicy smoky flavour to dishes. Use sparingly in sauces, marinades and dressings. You can freeze what’s leftover.

the accuracies for EPDs on animals with little performance data. We are grateful to have government support to offer our members increased access to tools that can help them to make informed breeding decisions.”

“We are always grateful to have government support towards the adoption of new technology,” adds CEO Rob Smith. “Reducing the rate of the Zoetis i50K test makes the test available to members who could not otherwise afford to test their young animals as well as allowing members to test more of their herd.

Increased genetic testing and the resulting genetic improvements will help Canadian Angus Association members maintain or increase their competiveness in both the domestic and international seedstock markets.”

Additionally, the new Growing Forward 2 agreement signed by Ministers and AAFC last month will continue to drive innovation and long-term growth in Canada. Governments have agreed to invest more than $3 billion over five years in innovation, competitiveness and market development. For more information on GF2, please visit www.agr.gc.ca/ growingforward2.

The Canadian Angus Association is Canada’s largest purebred beef breed organization, registering more than half of Canada’s purebred beef cattle. The Association represents more than 2,000 members across Canada for the purposes of registering and recording the pedigrees of purebred Angus cattle in the closed HerdBook and promoting the breed across Canada. The member-approved mandate is to maintain breed registry, breed purity and provide services that enhance the growth and position of the Angus breed.

ROCKY VIEW COUNTY, AB (March 21, 2016) - The Government of Canada through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program (CAAP) has invested $1 million to increase adoption of genomic technologies in Canada’s cattle sector and Canada’s Angus breeders will benefit. The financial investment will enable the Canadian Beef Breeds Council to demonstrate to producers the use and value of improving beef herds through genotyping. The project will make genomic testing available for the various Canadian beef breeds at a reduced cost, increasing adoption by producers.

Determining the right genetic mix in their herds will allow Canadian Angus producers to increase their return on investment, while accurately predicting traits that benefit consumers and the environment.

As of April 1, the Canadian Angus Association will offer its members the Zoetis i50K genomic test which includes SNP parentage verification and a prediction of genetic merit for numerous traits at a reduced rate of $40 per test.

Genomic information from the Zoetis i50K test is incorporated into animals’ Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) to calculate more accurate EPDs for them. This is typically valuable on younger animals that have low accuracy EPDs. EPDs are expressions of the relative genetic merit of beef cattle for various traits. EPDs are used to compare the predicted progeny performance between two bulls (or females) within a breed, regardless of age or herd location.

“The Canadian Angus Association is thrilled with how our members benefit from this funding,” says Kajal Devani, Director of Breed Development.

28 The Northern Horizon, March 25, 2016

Labour gap in Canadian beef sector could quadruple by 2025, study finds March 15, 2016 Ottawa, ON – Chronic workforce shortages in Canada’s agricultural sector are expected to continue, with the number of unfilled jobs in the beef sector forecasted to more than quadruple over the next decade.

According to the Labour Market Information Study (LMIS), the labour gap is significant, with unfilled vacancies costing the beef industry $141 million is sales (farm gate cash receipts) in 2014.

The study, released today by the Canadian Agricultural Human Resources Council (CAHRC) and Conference Board of Canada provides an overview of the current agricultural labour market and a 10-year projection that forecasts the supply and demand of labour to 2025. The LMIS was initiated in early 2014 and includes a 10-year national outlook along with a forecast for 10 different provinces and 11 commodity groups, including Canada’s beef cattle industry. A number of methods were used to conduct the study including an industry survey, interviews with agriculture producers and stakeholders, and numerous focus groups and webinars.

The study’s findings underscore the need for the Canadian Agricultural and Agri-Food Workforce Action Plan, ‘Since 1957’

said Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) President Dan Darling. “A dedicated plan for Canadian agriculture is critical to ensure the industry has a sufficient workforce to take advantage of significant opportunities in the future,” he said. Proactively addressing workforce issues in agriculture, in terms of insufficient labour to fill jobs at packing plants and farms and the lost opportunity those chronic job vacancies create, are top priority for the CCA. According to the study, over the next 10 years, the labour gap in the Canadian beef cattle industry could widen to 12,500 workers. The LMIS indicated this future increased labour gap could be partially caused by a spike in labour demand of as many as 2,500 workers.

Export dependent and protein-based commodities, such as the Canadian beef cattle industry, are expected to have productivity growth around 2.5 per cent over the next 10 years. Additionally, trade agreements such as the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) and the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) are likely to generate more beef exports. These factors will create an increased demand for labour as the beef industry works to capture this growth. However, the study suggested that a declining labour supply in beef production is the largest

contributor to the projected growing labour gap.

Retirement of beef cattle producers is the driving factor behind the decrease in labour supply; the study indicates that one-third of the current workforce will retire over the next decade. Immigration is likely to account for growing share of the future labour force in Canadian agriculture and beef production, but some provinces may benefit more than others due to regional economies and

demographics.

CAHRC and the Conference Board of Canada are planning to release a 10-page report and 2-page fact sheet on labour supply and demand for beef in late April or early May.

Incidents involving the improper use of propane cylinders have resulted in injuries and fatalities in Alberta. Many users are not aware of the safety risks of using the cylinders for purposes other than what they are intended for.

“Propane cylinders are only designed to store and handle propane,” says Allan Hantelmann, technical advisor/boilers and pressure vessels of Alberta Municipal Affairs. “When cylinders are used for alternate purposes, a number of dangerous things happen to the cylinders that can’t be seen with the naked eye.”

When a 20-pound propane cylinder is manufactured, it meets specific requirements set out by the Canadian Standards Association Group. This includes the design, testing, repair, and rebuilding of cylinders to transport propane.

Anyone manufacturing, rebuilding, or repairing the cylinder must follow the rules in the standard. If the standards are not adhered do, cylinders can suffer metal fatigue and corrosion/rust, and can ultimately rupture.

The 20-pound cylinders are made from a specific type of manufactured carbon steel, with grain structures that can be seen under a microscope.

When the steel is heated or subjected to higher pressures than the cylinder was originally designed to withstand,

there is stress and strain put on the grain structure, and tiny movement occurs within the metal itself. This may form a crack that is not readily apparent. When this stress and strain is applied many times, the crack will become larger, the material can become worn-out and burst open. “This is similar to when you bend a paper clip back and forth until it breaks – it’s called metal fatigue,” says Hantelmann.

of propane cylinders

duce steam is also extremely dangerous.

When water changes from a liquid to steam, it expands 1,700 times its size.

When the heated water is contained in a closed cylinder it cannot expand. This puts extreme stress on the steel and can cause it to burst open, sending fragments everywhere.

In addition to the cylinder itself, the opening for the nozzle is also an important part of the safe design of a propane cylinder. According to the Canadian Standards Association Group’s approved design, the head of the cylinder is only designed for one nozzle, using a standard valve fitting. No other nozzles are allowed to be added, at any time during the life of the cylinder. Welding is also not allowed on the cylinder, as it shrinks the cylinder material by approximately 7 per cent, and creates stress on each side of the weld.

Hantelmann says the proper use of propane cylinders is key to safety: “We want to minimize incidents and accidents associated with propane cylinder use in agriculture. And part of this is bringing awareness to the dangers of modifications, and the potential for catastrophic explosions.”

Filling the cylinder with water and heating it up, or reusing the cylinder to hold compressed air is also hazardous because moisture formed in the cylinder will start the corrosion process.

Corrosion will weaken the ability of the cylinder to hold gas or liquid under pressure, which can further weaken the cylinder to the point of rupturing.

Making modifications to the cylinder so it can be used to heat water to pro-

The application deadline is April 18, 2016, and FCC will announce the selected projects in August of 2016.

For the past 13 years, FCC has awarded rural community groups between $5,000 and $25,000 in FCC AgriSpirit funding for various community improvement

initiatives. From purchasing equipment for emergency services and recreation centres, to building care homes and playgrounds, FCC AgriSpirit funding supports key projects that enhance the community.

Since the inception of the FCC AgriSpirit Fund in 2004, FCC has supported nearly 950 capital projects in rural Canada, totaling $9.5 million in donations.

Salinity causes and cures workshop AGRI-NEWS MARCH, 2016

On April 7, 2016, Mountain View County and the Grey Wooded Forage Association are hosting a free workshop (lunch included) on Salinity Causes and Cures near Olds, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The workshop will educate farmers and agronomists on how forage production improves soil salinity, forage establishment, and seed options.

Jack Payne, western prairies regional agronomist with Farmers Edge, says that while soil salinity has been

around for decades, much of the work on soil salinity control and management was done in the late 1980s and early 1990s. “That was over 20 years ago, so it’s time to revisit it,” says Payne. “We’re going to talk about what causes soil salinity, what is the source of saline seeps, and how producers can use forages and other systems to help manage seeps.”

Alberta Exporters’ Mission to the Middle AGRI-NEWS MARCH, 2016

An Alberta delegation attended the Agra ME trade show in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) in March of 2016. The delegation included four exhibiting and two non-exhibiting companies representing Alberta’s forage and forage-related equipment companies. The mission also paid a visit to a number of import companies in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The UAE is a major economic centre in the Middle East, and a strategic market for Alberta. It has had a significant influence on the trade of forage in the Gulf region, particularly since it is still a relatively new, but fast growing, region that imported more than 1.7 million metric tonnes of forages in 2015.

“Participation in the Agra ME trade show provided an excellent platform for Alberta companies in the forage sector seeking new opportunities in the region,” says Etienne van Straaten, trade relations officer at Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF). “One of the companies explored the market for the first time, and the mission provided them with an opportunity to gain market knowledge, as well as establish contacts in the region. The companies were

pleased with the mission, and expressed interest in a repeat visit to the Agra ME show in April of 2017.”

Highlights of the mission included a visit to a farm belonging to the Saudi royal family that is home to more than 20,000 sheep and 650 horses. AF connected the mission companies with a number of companies in Riyadh that import large quantities of feed grade commodities, honey, and other products.

The focus of the visit to Dubai was the participation in the Agra ME trade show. AF prepared a livestock and horse feed-focused program of tours for the delegation in collaboration with the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service in Dubai. The program included a tour of the facilities of Camelicious Camel Dairy, Al-Rawabi Dairy Company, Blue Racing Stables, and the Desert Palm Polo Club. The delegation was also briefed by Dubai’s Canadian Trade Commissioner Service on doing business in the UAE. Funding for this project was provided through Growing Forward 2, a federalprovincial-territorial initiative.

THE BIG BEND Blueberry Mountain Some Blueberry Mountain History

By Loreen (Penny) Bateman In March of 1919, A. E. “Dewey” Bateman, along with D. H. “Steve” Keay, Rod McDonald,and Rolly Hoggarth arrived in the Peace River area looking for homesteads. They travelled on foot, except for when they could borrow saddle horses. They looked over lands in the Pouce Coupe, Dawson Creek, Bad Heart, and Spirit River areas, settling in Blueberry Mountain district. They each filed on a half section of land before returning to their homes in Saskatchewan. Dewey’s folks lived in Dubuc, Saskatchewan. While there they gathered equipment, stock and machinery for homesteading, then loaded two train box cars and shipped by rail, arriving in Spirit River in June of that year. The railroad from Edmonton north was memorable for its uncertain schedule and speed. The passengers joked about stepping off to pick wild strawberries and catching the end of the train as it went by later.

Once unloaded in Spirit River they faced the arduous task of transporting their belongings over the rough and muddy fifty-two miles out to Blueberry Mountain. The journey required nine days of hardship on· man and beast, as they were plagued by mosquitoes and flies, bumping over stumps, and wading sloughs, then camping out each night. When they reached Blueberry they all camped on McDonald’s land. Together they built the first log cabin. In time they each moved to their homesteads.

Dewey 1935.

Dewey camped under his wagon until he could cut some logs from his land, and with the help of the others constructed his first cabin complete with sod roof.

During that summer and fall of 1919 he managed to build his cabin, a bam, and break his first thirteen acres of land. By New Years his mother and sister Hilda joined him for an extended visit.

During that same year many soldiers from the first World War settled in Blueberry: Bill McCormick, Heavy Tarr, Andy Ellison, Shorty Collins, Buck Burrows, Jack Campbell, Howard Pegg, Harry Hanrahan, Hiram Walker, AI Grenache, Tom Gillespie (known as the Earl of Blueberry), and others.

This was largely a settlement of returned veterans seeking peace and quiet after the years of battle and noise.

Their social life consisted of house parties in their small cabins. They danced to the music on cylinder records played on the old gramophones with large horns “His Master’s Voice”. Dewey owned one of them. It is not known what became of it, a rare antique now.

In the summertime picnics were held, with everyone joining in a softball game. As always, the mosquitoes swarmed in hoards. The many sloughs and long grass provided breeding places. Some ladies resorted to lining their hose with newspapers to protect themselves.

Pant suits were not the fashion of those days.

In time a road was cut through the green timber to shorten the distance to Spirit River to 35 miles. It made use of an unused railroad grade running west from town, then cut north through the timber. The men turned out to help build the road. Dewey stayed behind to tend the stock, having been severely wounded in the leg during the war. He was forced to make some concessions to his injury for some years.

The settlers worked together to cut logs for a community hall. It was built on a road allowance between the two Howard’s farms. Measuring 30’x30’ and with a shingled cottage roof, the fir flooring made a good solid dance floor. Here all the social functions were held.

A few musical instruments replaced the old gramophones. Later the hall was used for a school during summer months.

Margaret McDonald, (a sister of Rod and Angus) and Steve Keay were married in 1920. Their first child Beth was born in 1921, the first white child born in the district. Steve was a stone mason by trade and not a farmer. They moved to Spirit River a few years later, first managing the immigration hall, and later opening a hardware store. Their family grew to three daughters.

Mrs. Mary MacDermiad, another McDonald sister, and a war widow, also homesteaded in Blueberry.

She later married Donald Innes and moved to Sexsmith.

Angus McDonald returned to Saskatchewan until the mid 1930’s when he began farming out of Spirit River.

Rod also left Blueberry for a number of years, but returned with a wife in the thirties. They made an important contribution to the district, helping to establish the Presbyterian Church for one thing.

By the year 1928 Blueberry was a well established community. The George Milldrums had located on the main road in, and kept the Post Office in their home.

Some families had come and gone, the Peevers, Lillicos, Scills, Hollman, and others, but new people were moving in who were not returned soldiers.

In April of that year the families of Dan Galbraith and Jim Penny arrived. Dan rented the Keay farm, and for a time they lived together there. Jim filed on the quarter west of Keays. They cut logs in the green timber, hauled them and peeled them, to construct a house 16’x20’. It had a shingle roof and board floor with a home-made door. All hands turned in to shingle the roof and chink the cracks with moss gathered from the bush nearby. In June, the family moved into the bright new home. It was small for four people, but a kitchen and bedroom were added to it later.

Dan filed on a quarter across the road from Milldrums.

Soldiers were allowed half sections, others could have quarters for $10, and after three years and set improvements could claim them as their own.

Galbraiths lived on Keay’s farm until their nice big house was built near a draw. Later he learned this could only provide spring run-off water. However, a well dug

Reprinted from ‘The Big Bend’ with permission of Mrs. Arletta Hampton, a remaining member of the Historical Society of Blueberry Mountain Alberta.

on the northwest corner provided unlimited water. Tho’ somewhat tainted, one became adjusted to it quite readily. A big day arrived when many hands with their teams turned out to move the house to the well area.

The partitions were constructed of half inch local lumber. In time as it shrank, many revealing cracks formed.

The house still stands tho’ vacant now.

There still was no school in 1928. Mrs. Penny applied for correspondence school. Now the little room in the new house, heated with a little iron cooking stove, and with a packing case upended for dish and food cupboard, converted by night to a bedroom by the use of a Winnipeg couch, also became a schoolroom. She conducted classes for her girls Hilda and Loreen, and Gladys Galbraith. Later Myland Mitchell joined them for a few months. In the spring of 1929 a few people gathered at Jack and Alice Campbell’s to discuss the opening of a school.

Four children - two Mitchells and two Pennys, provided the needed requirement for the government to act. That year Jean Walker was brought in to open the first school. Two blackboards were tacked on the log walls of the hall. A few desks were bought and precious little else. Jim Stone was hired to build two outside toilets and a book cupboard; not being a carpenter, the work was a little rough.

Caboose on Sleigh.jpg

School was held from April to the end of October.

Jean was attending University so a second young woman was brought in for the fall months. Jean came back a second year and then married Vic Mitchell.

Mrs. Penny also served as a practical nurse for some years until a district nurse was supplied by the government. Many a baby’s painful swollen gums during teething were relieved by the use of Mrs. Penny’s sterilized silver thimble. The sufferings of others with pneumonia or bronchitis, etc. found relief when her famous mustard plasters were applied.

Made with no water, just white of an egg and sweet oil to moisten them, they were left on overnite to do their good work without fear of burning skin.

She delivered babies often without Dr. Reavely, who, even when called, was sometimes unable to make the long trip on horseback. Her talents were sometimes called upon to help livestock. I recall one lame horse that had the offending leg tied up in a hefty poutice of her bread dough. It did the trick, and he returned to the work force soon after. Less successful was the tragic drowning of two little boys. It may have been different

THE BIG BEND Blueberry Mountain CONTINUED FROM 46

if the time lapse, between the accident, and when she arrived on the scene hadn’t been so great. There were no phones or motor cars in those days. Also to her credit goes a part in forming the Goodwill Club in Blueberry.

All during the summer of 1928 people called at the Penny home asking directions to find John Fix. For that summer Dewey had rented his farm to John while he vacationed in Saskatchewan. John had homesteaded further east, and he patiently guided these people who spoke so little English to the available land. In a few months three townships had been filled with Europeans. In a short period of time they had homes built and land broken and seeded, a road cut through to Spirit River via the “old pack trail”, across Rat Creek. This trail had been made during the gold rush days when men trekked through to the north from Edmonton on horseback or on foot.

There were two or three schools built, the closest named Blueberry Creek, where Charlie Knight became the first teacher. These people got their start during the hard years of the depression by accepting relief. Later they were able to work off the debt incurred by doing road work for the government. For a time Jim

Penny was the road foreman on this work.

About 1929 Tom Meester came to settle, and later his bride by proxy came from Holland. The Meesters in time had a little girl, then twin girls born at home with Mrs. Penny attending. Unfortunately one was born a spastic and lived the life of an invalid.

Frank Tyler and family arrived, also Jim Stone a man of interest and some talent. He used to sing on occasion, later made a name of prominence for himself during the Second World War in Italy.

The Meesters also sang with beautiful harmony at many dances.

That year of 1929 saw Whitbum settled, but the land did not produce and many soon left. Some years later Jack Taylor discovered that sweet clover was effective in bringing back fertility to the burned land.

The Lindsay brothers and wives were among these settlers. Tom with his fiddle and Bill as caller and master of ceremonies brought new life and fun to the dances. A hall was built in Whitbum and weekly dances alternated between the districts. Other folks from Baytree even attended: a long haul by team. The men dug deep to pay 25 cents each, to pay $3.00 to the musician and buy coffee and sandwich makings.

Women brought cakes for their entry fee. Later more musicians from the eastern settlement added to the music forming a little band. The coffee was made in a wash boiler filled with water and heated all evening on the wood burning stove (an oil barrel laid on its side with a door cut in one end and a smoke stack in the other). Sandwiches were made by a volunteer committee, either at home or even while the dance was going on.

In the mid 30’s a group calling themselves the DooDads was formed. We took turns in the homes to make a meal and an evening of cards or dancing about once a month. Some names of those involved are Jesse and Margaret Caterer, Jack Richards, Campbell Reynolds, Jack Burrows, Marrianne Cramer, George Esselink, Helen Boadway and Charlie Knight, school teachers, Marie Swan district nurse, Al. Galbraith, Dewey Bateman, and Hilda and Loreen Penny.

There may have been others but just four or five homes were suitable - Very Happy Memories!

Helen Boadway laid the cornerstone for the new Blueberry Mtn. school in 1936, built on the SE comer of Herb Keebler’s farm.

Logs were cut and sawn at Cramers mill during the winter of 1936 and 37 for the new hall. It was constructed after the

writer had left the area, I believe near the school, but later moved to the comer near the store.

Saddle horse tracks across the creeks to the Peace River were another diversion of the young people.

On one such trip Mr. and Mrs. Mason Woods went along. Another trip saw Vic and Jean Mitchell, Olive Comer and Dewey ride to the river on horseback.

Jim Stone led the horses home while the other proceeded down the river on a raft.

A friend from Spirit River picked them up by car when they landed at Dunvegan.

By the spring of 1937 the Penny girls were grown up. Hilda married AI Galbraith in March and went to live in Montney, B.C. That same spring Dewey rented his farm to Jim Corbett, sold his stock and effects and moved to the coast.

In December he returned to marry Loreen, returning to their new home in Burnaby to live.

The Penny’s stayed on in Blueberry Mtn. until they sold out in 1945 and moved to Montney, B.C. In 1947 they moved out to Burnaby.

The Dan Galbraiths eventually built a house in Spirit River where they were living when Dan met an untimely death in the logging world.

Open Farm Days

AGRI-NEWS MARCH, 2016

r0011214196

Registration for Open Farm Days is now open, and Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) has produced some new videos to help out farms that are considering participating, but might not know where to start.

“These videos are a great resource because they profile some of the different types of farms that have opened their doors to Open Farm Days in the past,” says Colin Gosselin, senior project coordinator with AF. “They give a quick overview of participants’ experiences, along with tips for hosting an open house.”

Open Farm Days is a provincewide event that showcases agriculture, local food, and agritourism by inviting the public to come out and directly experience the farm. This year’s fourth annual event runs the weekend of August 20-21, 2016, while farm registration closes May 31, 2016.

One of the videos features Humphrey and Terry Banack, who operate a conventional grain and oilseed farm near Round Hill. They discuss how consumers are going on an adventure to see where their food comes from, and how Open Farm Days helps bridge the gap between

the producer and the end user of their products.

Another video features Leona Staples from The Jungle Farm, an established agritourism business.

Leona shares some great tips on improving the visitor experience around things like temporary parking areas, porta potties, and working with your local health inspector if you’re going to be providing food as part of your event.

Our third video puts the spotlight on Daniel Chappell of Country Thyme Farm. Daniel is a local food producer with a Farm Box Program, and he discusses how Open Farm Days has helped increase his exposure, and provides him with an opportunity to open up his operation to the public for one day of the year.

Open Farm Days 2015 had 70 participating farms and 18 farm-totable culinary events. Last year’s events boasted over 10,000 visits to farms, and almost $100,000 in food and on-farm sales. “Open Farm Days clearly benefits both the host farm and the visitor. I encourage you to watch the videos to see if hosting an open house is in your future.”

CA$62+ million of equipment sold at Ritchie Bros.’ largest Grande Prairie auction ever Two-day auction sets new Grande Prairie sales and bidder records for Ritchie Bros.

GRANDE PRAIRIE, AB (March 16, 2016) – As equipment rolled into view and crowds began to gather at Ritchie Bros.’ Grande Prairie auction this week, one thing became clear: records would be broken. By auction’s end, CA$62+ million (US$46+ million) of equipment had been sold, and more than 7,150 people had registered to bid—both new records for the Grande Prairie site.

Ritchie Bros. sold 2,500+ equipment items and trucks for 250+ sellers at the March 14-15, 2016 auction, including three complete dispersals. The auction’s impressive line-up of equipment and trucks—including 70+ excavators, 65+ dozers, 270+ trailers, 70 truck tractors, and more—attracted bidders from 39 countries.

“I’d like to thank all of our customers for choosing to buy and sell at this auction,” said Simon Wallan, Vice President, Ritchie Bros. “We normally hold our first Grande Prairie auction of the year in April, but added this auction to the Peace Region calendar to meet the needs of two customers—Pinnacle Services and Continental Pipelines and Facilities—looking to do complete

dispersals. This new date created a tremendous opportunity for others to take part in this truly exciting event. Record bidder attendance proved the strength

Oil and Gas Companies Not Adhering to Surface Rights Act annual compensation is based on the impacts they experience, not the state of the economy,” states Les. Landowners have also reported that they have been issued reduced compensation when a company begins (or claims to begin) reclamation. Reclamation is a regulated process that requires landowner consultation. Under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, a company is obligated to pay the full annual rental until a Reclamation Certificate is issued.

You can read the full advisory on the FAO webpage.

Landowners who have been impacted by these types of actions are encouraged to contact the FAO as soon as possible.

Contact: Jeana Les 780-427-7956

AGRI-NEWS MARCH, 2016

The Farmers’ Advocate Office (FAO) is encouraging landowners to be aware of their rights, especially in light of the downturn in the economy. “Oil and gas companies are looking for ways to save money,” explains Jeana Les, rural engagement and communications specialist for the FAO, “and unfortunately we’ve heard that some companies are using methods that contradict the Surface Rights Act.” The FAO has received reports from landowners that companies are unilaterally deciding to reduce the annual compensation paid to landowners based on the surrender or change of use clauses. The Surface Rights Act entitles landowners to the opportunity to negotiate with industry in good faith.
