program coordinator with Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC).

“Our branches reported 522 storm cells last year that pelted crops with hail from Fort Vermilion to the US border. The damage was widespread. Southern Alberta and ‘Hail Alley’ – which stretches westward along Highway 2 from Rocky Mountain House to Calgary, and eastward through Wheatland County – were particularly hard hit.”

More than $257 million was paid out on more than 6,400 hail claims across Alberta last year, including the Peace region, through AFSC’s Straight Hail Insurance program and the Hail Endorsement rider that most farmers add to their crop insurance. The highest claim year was in 2012 when $445.6 million was paid on more than 8,400 claims. “Alberta’s top three years for record hail damage have all occurred in the last six years,” says Sanden, noting 2008 marked the second highest year with $263 million in claims paid out.

Ingredients for Hail Environment Canada meteorologist Dan Kulak says wet spring weather and unusually high humidity over the last few years have likely contributed to the amount of hail in Alberta lately.

“Humidity and ground moisture fuel thunderstorms that produce hail,” says Kulak, noting other ingredients include heat and a trigger to set everything in motion. “That trigger can be simple daytime heating, causing warm air to rise and mix with cooler air above. Another trigger is the jet stream – that river of air that storms tend to follow – which flows over the mountains and right through the middle of Alberta every summer,” he explains.

The mountains play a huge role in thunderstorm formation. They’re the reason Alberta tends to get more hail than anywhere else in Canada, says Kulak. “You can be sure Alberta will

get hail this year. The question is how much,” he says, noting every part of the province is susceptible to hail. “The wetter things get in June, the more storms we can end up with because the moisture just keeps recycling itself.”

Straight Hail Coverage Increased As farmers brace themselves for the coming hail season, AFSC is increasing the coverage levels offered through its Straight Hail Insurance program.

“Producers have asked us to boost the coverage caps to help them protect their crops and cover their hail risk more effectively. As such, we’re raising the maximum coverage farmers can insure on most crops to better reflect today’s higher crop values and rising input costs,” says Sanden.

Coverage has increased by a minimum of $75 per dryland acre and $175 on irrigated crops, with significant increases on potatoes, says Sanden.

“We’ve also created new coverage categories for higher-value crops like chickpeas and canola, which can now be insured for $325 per dryland acre, and $425 on irrigated crops. Full details are available at www.afsc.ca,” she adds.

Hail is the Biggest Threat Ed Kamieniecki, who farms near Manning, says hail is a major concern on his operation every year. While he’s avoided hail for a few years, Kamieniecki says a severe hailstorm tore through his crops just before harvest four years ago, completely wiping out some canola fields. “We seem to get more extreme weather lately,” he says.

“Before the storm I thought we’d get 50 bushels per acre at least, but we only got around 20 bushels.”

Kamieniencki, who puts Straight Hail Insurance on his crops as soon as he’s done seeding, says he likes the increased coverage this year because it will cover his input costs and help protect the value of his crop more fully.

“Input costs are high. I like knowing we’re covered if a storm comes through and wipes out our hard work in five minutes,” he says.

A growing number of farmers Auto-Elect Straight Hail coverage with their crop insurance in April, says Sanden, pointing out it gives them a two per cent premium discount.

“It also gives them hail protection as soon as their crops emerge. If crops are struck by an early hailstorm before they’re insured, fields with more than 25 per cent damage will be declined Straight Hail coverage for the rest of the growing season,” she explains.

Administrative Costs Reduced “We’re also seeing more farmers purchase Straight Hail coverage online because they like being able to access it from home around the clock,” says Sanden. About 20 per cent of farmers bought Straight Hail online last year, creating efficiencies that led to a two per cent reduction in the administrative costs built into Straight Hail premiums this year. Sanden notes first time users must contact AFSC for an activation key to purchase online coverage.

AFSC has provided hail insurance to Alberta farmers since 1938 when special legislation was passed creating the Alberta Hail Insurance Board, which later became AFSC. “Farmers needed someone to offer hail insurance in every corner of the province, because back then it wasn’t Following record hail damage to crops across Alberta over the available everywhere; the risk was too past two years, AFSC is increasing the coverage on its Straight high,” says Sanden. “That same need exHail Insurance program to help farmers better protect their ists today because hail is still the biggest crops as they brace themselves for the coming hail season, says risk Alberta farmers face each year.

On Wednesday, June 11th, 2014, we got the June installment of the U.S.D.A.’s W.A.S.D.E. report and boy was it a stinker. As in everyone left the ice (err, trading floor & screens) and didn’t want to play anymore because there was barely anything changed from the May report a month previous. One of the numbers poured over the most was the old crop soybean carryout, which ended up getting downgraded slightly (but as expected) to 125 million bushels, which, at 3.7 per cent, is the lowest stocks-to-use ratio since records started being kept in the 1960s. Alas, we’re almost done the old crop marketing year so what’s new crop doing?

Truthfully, it’s not music to your bank account’s ears at this point. The U.S.D.A.’s world production estimates for the 2014/15 marketing year all rose which, in turn, raised ending stocks for the 14/15 season. The one bull that seems to still be in the neighbourhood is the risk of an El Nino hitting Australia’s wheat and canola crops and, further north, the pulse and vegetable oilseed fields in Southeast Asia. That being said, more reports are surfacing that the weather event will be just moderate and that losses won’t be too significant – AKA it could take a few percentage points off of total output, but not half the crop. Accordingly, you have the play the game that’s in front of you, not the one you hope will get put on the field (or ice or whatever playing surface you relate to best).

Spanning the rest of the world, China has suspended imports of U.S. DDGs feedstock grains as more than a few shipments included traces of the unapproved Syngenta corn variety, MIR 162. Unsurprisingly, this comes on the heels of April owning the record for the largest amount of DDG import by the People’s Republic in one month. On the flipside, soybean crush margins in China are starting to improve so cue the boats from South America to get rolling again. Speaking of which, Brazil’s wheat crop is being forecasted as bigger than initially expected, joining the E.U., the Black Sea…the list goes on.

However, on a bit of a positive note, according to the Port of Thunder Bay, they had their busiest month in 16 years in May, moving 1.3M tonnes of grain, more than a 90 per cent increase over the five-year average.

While C.N. boasted about its ability to move 5,500 cars per week in May, 38 per cent more than the previous record, I’m still hearing many producer car orders/ obligations are not being fulfilled by the railroads.

Adding to the woes is the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers who recently forecasted oil movement by rail in Western Canada to more than triple in the next two years as the industry’s options remain idled by pipeline regulatory approval & construction. Ultimately, Canada is a resource nation and I can guarantee you that the next two years won’t be pretty as industry groups, private companies, and the government will all be scrambling to get on and secure their portion of the playing surface (AKA infrastructure). Make sure you know your position(s) on the field too - due diligence and pre-game planning can pay off.

tions. For the same reason, the groups stated they will work toward the goal of synchronized commercialization of biotech traits in wheat in the three countries. Similarly, they reiterate that customer choice is paramount: “We stand ready to assist all industry segments to assure supplies of non-biotech wheat within reasonable commercial tolerances to markets that require it.”

Bob Stallman, president, American Farm Bureau Federation, said, “The American Farm Bureau Federation is proud to be among the 16 forwardlooking organizations from the U.S., Canada and Australia united in ensuring wheat supplies remain abundant, while meeting the highest quality and nutrition standards. Representing about 20 percent of human calorie intake, wheat is an essential part of the global diet and critical to food security.

“Unfortunately, wheat production is on a downward trend around the world because net returns per acre often favor other crops. Wheat demand could very well outstrip the supply in the not-sodistant future. As such, further innovation in research and biotechnology is key to realizing the promise of improved products, more sustainable production and environmental benefits.

FAR CHERS RAN

Sixteen organizations in the Australia, Canada and the United States representing producers and millers together publicly confirmed support for innovation in wheat, including the future commercialization of biotechnology. The statement, which lays out shared commitments for the responsible advancement of biotech traits and other breeding advancements in wheat, comes five years after an original document was signed. This new pledge welcomes the addition of broad-based groups like the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Farmers Union to a wide coalition of wheat organizations in the three countries.

The signatories call for further innovation in research as wheat represents about 20 percent of human calorie intake, making it an essential part of the global diet and critical to food security.

As demand increases, they state, wheat supplies must remain abundant while meeting the highest quality and nutrition standards. Advanced breeding and biotechnology will help protect the continued availability of wheat foods and “ultimately offers the promise of improved products, more sustainable production and environmental benefits,” according to the statement.

The groups also encourage the governments of wheat producing and importing countries to maintain sound, science-based regulatory systems as well as to adopt reasonable low level presence policies to minimize trade disrup-

The Northern Horizon, June 20, 2014

Alberta Dutch Elm Disease Awareness Week Dutch Elm Disease Awareness Week is recognized annually throughout the province of Alberta from June 22-28, 2014.

“The intent is to raise awareness of how dangerous Dutch elm disease (DED) is, the importance of elm trees to our communities, and that DED can be prevented,” says Janet Feddes-Calpas, executive director, Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease (STOPDED). “At present, Alberta has the largest DEDfree American elm stand in the world, and it is important to protect this valuable resource. STOPDED is asking for everyone’s assistance to save our beautiful elm trees from this deadly disease.”

DED is caused by a fungus that clogs the elm tree’s water conducting system, causing the tree to die. The fungus is primarily spread from one elm tree to another by three species of beetles, the smaller European, the native and the banded elm bark beetle. The beetles are attracted to weak and dying trees, which serve as breeding sites for the beetles. Once the beetles have pupated and turned into adults they leave the brood galle ry and fly to healthy elms

to feed, thus transporting the fungus on their bodies from one tree to the next.

“Monitoring for the beetles is done annually throughout the province by STOPDED,” says Feddes-Calpas.

“The smaller elm bark beetles have been found throughout the province in low numbers and now the banded elm bark beetle is found in larger numbers throughout the City of Medicine Hat and area. For this reason we must be even more vigilant.”

Leaves on a DED-infected elm will wilt or droop, curl and become brown.

This appears in mid-June to mid-July.

Leaves on trees infected later in the season usually turn yellow and drop prematurely. Leaf symptoms are accompanied by brown staining under the bark. All suspicious elms must be tested in a lab, a service STOPDED funds.

“During DED Awareness Week, please take a moment and find out how you can help save our elms,” says Feddes-Calpas.

What can you do?

Be aware of the Alberta elm pruning ban between April 1 and September 30.

The beetles are most active at this time and can be attracted to the scent of fresh tree cuts, possibly infecting a healthy elm.

His workshops empower participants to make a positive difference in their own watersheds by emphasizing an understanding of root causes and healing processes, rather than simply addressing the symptoms of degradation. He focuses on teaching the skills needed to complete restoration projects with high quality work. This will be a hands-on workshop addressing erosion problems on the NPARA research farm, similar to those on farms in the area.

Rogers to upgrade service throughout Northeast B.C. WILLIAM STODALKA STAFF WRITER

Rogers Communications announced on Thursday that they would spend up to $452 million to improve their network coverage around B.C. by 2016.

These improvements would "especially" target northeastern B.C., according to Rogers Communication Vice-Chairman Phillip Lind.

"For many of you, when you get to Fort Nelson, your phone doesn't work," said Premier Christy Clark, who was on hand to help make the announcement with Rogers executives in Vancouver. "By 2016, it will."

Gord Nelson, Rogers’ general manager of western communications, said the increased capacity would benefit 70 communities in the province, and would benefit the coverage along certain provincial highways, including the Prince Rupert to Prince George corridor.

"It's not only broader coverage in certain areas along existing towers, it'll get communities that aren't necessarily serviced today," said Nelson. "Rogers is behind in the province of B.C., and that's one of the reasons we're ex-

"For many of you, when you get to Fort Nelson, your phone doesn't work.

By 2016, it will."

—CHRISTY CLARK, B.C. PREMIER munities would receive the improvements first or how much money would go into the Northeast specifically.

“The reason why I can't be more specific is we are still in the final final stages of our plan,” he said. “So everything is not locked in 100 per cent.”

The plan for 400 additional towers and the $452 million figure was locked in, however.

Nelson said that 98.3 per cent of B.C.'s population would have access to the Rogers network once these improvements took hold.

Jennifer Katt, a spokeswoman for Rogers Communications, said that this would mean that Rogers would roll out LTE cellular internet services in northeastern B.C., which is not yet available to the company’s subscribers here.

Clark welcomed the move. "Those communities deserve to have connectivity," she said. "I take this as a tremendous vote of confidence to grow this business and this nation."

Fort Nelson Mayor Bill Streeper also welcomed the move. Streeper said that to his knowledge, Rogers phones did not work there, and that as of Thursday, he had received no advance notice that Rogers wanted to supply service to the area.

Streeper said that people would be “better off” with more network connectivity in his community.

“I know there have been people that come from outside of Fort Nelson and from the Lower Mainland and their cell phone doesn't work at all,” he said.

panding our network so aggressively. We are challenged in the more rural parts of B.C." Fort St. John and Fort Nelson were mentioned as two communities that would benefit specifically from the improvements.

However, when asked, Nelson could not immediately provide an exact timeline of when the improvements would come to northeastern B.C., which com-

Keep your elm trees healthy, and vigorous.

Water elms well from April to mid-August. To allow the tree to harden off for the winter, watering should be stopped mid-August followed by a good soaking or two before freeze-up.

Remove dead branches and trees as they can provide beetle habitat, but ONLY between October 1 to March 31 Dispose of all elm wood immediately by burning, burying or chipping.

Report all suspect trees to the DED Hotline at 1-877-837-ELMS. A confirmed DED tree must be removed immediately to prevent further spread.

What you shouldn’t do!

Do not transport or store elm firewood at any

time. DED and the beetles are declared pests under the Alberta Agricultural Pests Act making it illegal to do so.

Do not transport elm firewood into Alberta.

Firewood is confiscated at all the Alberta-Montana border crossings.

Do not prune elms between April1 and September 30.

“To report a DED suspect elm tree or for more information, call the STOPDED hotline at 1-877837-ELMS or go to www.stopded.org,” adds Feddes-Calpas. “Our elms are a treasure that we cannot afford to lose.”

TEEPEE CREEK STAMPEDE Advertorial

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 98th Annual Teepee Creek Stampede!

This year’s fun will kick off July 10th for four full nights of entertainment that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Ninety-eight 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 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! It has housed not only our Maddhatters Budweiser Beer Gardens and live sold out concerts, this multi-purpose facility is 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! Chad Brownlee will be playing LIVE at the Teepee Creek Stampede Saturday, July 12th in the Enframe TP Barn and the ever-popular

the Teepee Creek Church restoration project! The volunteer association has worked diligently in restoring the wellknown Teepee Creek United Church that had fallen into despair. 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 1029, will be the focal point of the new 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

THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT!!

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will be playing Friday, July 11th!

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

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!!

And check this out!

One of the signature events and long time traditions at the Teepee Creek Stampede is the Teepee Creek Terror.

The Terror rider is drawn from all the registered riders and the “lucky” cowboy is given the chance to ride the rankest horse in the pen. There is a $250 dollar prize just for being brave enough to accept the challenge and get on the horse. He must stay mounted for a full 10 seconds instead of the usual 8 and, if he does complete the ride, there’s an additional $500 prize to tuck under the belt.

Be sure to catch the Free Pancake Breakfast sponsored by Atco Electric at the Teepee Creek Stampede grounds between 8:00 and 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 12th, as well as the Miss Teepee Creek Stampede Queen Competition in the Enframe TP Barn at 10:00 a.m.

Competitors will be judged for public speaking, modeling, and photogenics.

by Richard Kamchen Alberta soil moisture conditions are even better than when the province produced a bumper crop last year, but Manitoba may see more acres go unseeded than last year because of saturated soils.

Surface soil moisture in Alberta is rated at 83.6 per cent good to excellent this year, nearly identical to last year, but subsoil moisture ratings are even better, at 87.5 per cent good to excellent, versus 78.4 per cent a year ago, according to provincial records.

“Good moisture at this time is only the first step to getting a high yield,” says James Wright, a risk analyst with Alberta’s Agriculture Financial Services Corporation.

He says moderate temperatures and continuing good soil moisture -- especially prior to and through heading -- are also key factors to good yields.

“Good early soil moisture results in even germination and emergence, as well as placing the crop in a position to produce high yields,” Wright says. It also reduces a stressor that affects head development and the number of potential kernels that the head might contain.

That’s not to say there can’t be problems. When soil moisture is high in a plant’s rooting zone, the plant doesn’t put down deep roots, he notes. Should conditions turn dry, the plant is shallow rooted and more vulnerable to drought stress, which will hit yield potential. That’s what happened in 2012, Wright says.

At the moment, current conditions remind Wright of those of 2013, when Alberta’s principal field crop production reached a record 27 million tonnes.

The picture, however, is far less rosy in Manitoba.

“The Manitoba situation is serious. We will lose more acreage than last year in Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan,” says Bruce Burnett, CWB weather and crop specialist.

A year ago, 219,000 insured acres went unseeded in Manitoba, according to Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation, which insures over 90 per cent of the province’s acres.

“Anecdotally, it sounds like there’ll be significantly more acres than that unseeded this year,” says David Van Deynze, MASC claim services manager.

Most of 2013’s unseeded acres were located in Manitoba’s southwest, and that area will again be among those hit this year.

“Basically, all along the western part of the province, not necessarily only the southwest,” Van Deynze says.

Manitoba Agriculture’s latest crop report reveals 65 to 70 per cent of seeding operations in the southwest were completed, but some producers there dealing with excess moisture were as little as 10 to 15 per cent seeded.

Van Deynze says farmers still have until June 20 to seed and still be insured, and a lot can change in that time.

Colt Starting: Developing Communication Everything as always is taught in progression with rewards for all attempts, try’s and steps in the right direction.

In the article of starting the young horse we talked mainly about building confidence and acceptance of ourselves and our tools.

The tools we use and how we use them help them with more than just that particular piece of equipment; it spills over into many things and the horses overall confidence. Whatever it is we show our horses must be consistent to have it last. I find four to seven sessions in a row and the horse will remember a year later. It might be a bit rusty, but they haven’t forgot.

As I progress with the horse I use a rub with the flag, stick and string and/or my hand to reinforce all good things they do or try to do. Waving the flag or swinging the stick and string actually gets to the point that they realize it is rest and relax time; it becomes a reward.

In this article we are going to ask for more yields from the horse, which will create more understanding and respect. The more they understand and the more respect they have for us as the leader, the more confident

they become. If the role of who is leading is a gray area, the horse is not comfortable following or taking suggestions from someone that is not clearly capable of the job. There ends up being a constant bickering or arguing going on and in some cases the horse just does whatever they like, no bickering or arguing - the horse is leading. He loads if he wants, stops when he wants, goes as fast or slow as he wants, picks up his feet for a while or not and so on. They may do one, all or more of these behaviors.

So we need to start a way of communicating to the horse that shows we do know how to move their feet, and we do have a definite plan. We need to prepare them

for trimming and shoeing, leading better, following a feel, moving off of pressure, and start to let them know that they have some responsibilities, now that we have this little partnership starting.

Everything as always is taught in progression with rewards for all attempts, try’s and steps in the right direction. With their confidence and their acceptance of us high, teaching a horse to allow you to hold and trim a foot, move the forequarters, hindquarters and back them is much easier. There are two types of pressure most commonly needed. One is to have them understand how to move from a steady pressure where I actually touch them with my hand or stick and the other is to move away from a rhythmic pressure. Steady pressure is used when close to the horse and rhythmic can be used from a distance.

Be sure you know the difference between rhythmic pressure and rhythmic motion. Pressure is used to ask the horse to move and you direct the pressure towards the zone or part of the horse you want to move.

Motion is used to build confidence and relax the horse and is not directed at them. I want the horse to know how to move backwards, move the forequarters and hindquarters using both types of pressure. I also start getting particular about what foot moves and where. If all four feet are going everywhere then there isn’t really much communicating going on. I also want to start teaching them to back up while I stand in one spot by shaking my rope. Another very important skill is to be able to circle my horse around me. They need to begin to learn to circle without me chasing, waving, clucking or smooching them around the circle. This is where they begin to learn that it is their responsibility to walk, trot and then canter, hold the gait that I have asked for. Again this will transfer to the saddle. I would like the horse to maintain whichever gait I’ve asked for without me having to continually be prodding them along or holding them back with the reins. This is very understandable for a horse if we ask and then get out of their way and trust they will respond. If not, ask again making it as comfortable for them as possible when they do.

The next thing I start to play with is asking for sideways on the ground. Start by having them face the fence and then use rhythmic pressure to move the feet. Once this is working somewhat I send them between the fence and myself and have them turn and face, stand and wait, then send them through again and stand and wait on the other side. Can you stand still and send your horse some-

PART 2

where, have him stand, wait, and how comfortable can you get him with going through tight spaces. The more the horse and handler knows the more challenging all these exercises can get and the more depth and preparation you have with your horse.

These exercises help you start a language with your horse, builds respect, understanding and is a great way to see how much control and influence you have with your horses feet. If you have control of the feet you are in pretty good shape. When they take control, those feet could end up doing a lot of things you may not be real happy about.

Somewhere in here, usually near the end of these things, I start to play more and more with their feet, asking them to pick up their feet for me rather than pulling them of the ground. All of these yields need to rewarded for the slightest try in the right direction. Make sure you have broken down each maneuver into many little yields to look for and reward until you get to your goal. Ask yourself how many yields could there be on the way to picking up a horses foot? For example he is probably standing on three legs if he is relaxed so the fourth foot might be a place to start. Can you rub it and he is fine

Travelling with your horse

by Dr. Christa Harder Winter is finally over and it is now the time of year where everyone is out with their horses competing in shows or rodeos, travelling to clinics or going camping with their horses. With the increased amount of travel, more horses are in contact with other horses and the potential to pick up more sickness is a lot higher.

Each individual horse has variable levels of protection towards common illnesses depending on several factors such as age, contact with other horses and stress. Some of the common bugs that are often circulating through the horses population includes strangles, influenza and herpes virus. Typically it takes 3-10 days for horses to show symptoms towards any of these diseases once they first become infected.

Influenza and herpes virus will look like a cold; coughing, nasal discharge, lethargic, decreased appetite and a fever. Strangles will show similar symptoms as well as lumps under or around the jaw that may or may not abscess and drain thick, white discharge.

Strangles is the most highly contagious of the three and will spread quickly to in contact horses.

There is an excellent intramuscular vaccine that helps protect horses against influenza and herpes as well as an intranasal vaccine that helps protect horses against strangles.

If your horse becomes infected with any of these 3 diseases it could mean a significant amount of time off from competition before you are able to travel with them again; therefore prevention is key. A few other less common infectious diseases include west nile

virus, equine infectious anemia (swamp fever), equine encephalitis (sleeping sickness), neurologic herpes.

When at a show or competition, do not allow your horse nose to nose contact with any unfamiliar horses and do not tie them in a common tie up area where they can nuzzle other horses or objects in contact with these horses. Ideally keep your horse tied up to your own trailer when not in competition. Use your own water buckets and do not share with other unfamiliar horses. When using competition stabling make sure the stall is clean to start with fresh bedding and even consider using a disinfectant spray to clean the walls prior to putting your horse inside.

Long periods of travel in a trailer can also predispose your horse to developing shipping fever.

Shipping fever is the common term for a bacterial pneumonia that can develop in their lungs. These horses can get quite sick very quickly starting with a high fever and then progressing to increased respiratory effort, pain and depression. When a horse stands for long periods of time with its head elevated (+/poor ventilation) it severely compromise’s the lungs ability to clear bacteria and debris. Horses should be given as much freedom of movement of their heads as is safe. If feeding horses during transport make sure the hay is not dusty or keep it watered down. Also, clean bedding regularly to avoid poor air quality from feces/urine. Do not haul a horse that has any signs of starting to get sick since it will only get worse during the trip.

Another thing to keep in mind when travelling on long trips with your horse is to take frequent breaks.

with that. If you squeeze the chestnut can you cause him to lift it a little then rub again. Can you teach him to lift it a bit higher each time until it is level with the ground?

Then put it back down rub and start again building on how long you can hold it and how much you can do with the foot without getting them worried.

Each of these exercises for best results and efficiency needs to be looked at as a series of yields or try’s to get to your end goal. Horses enjoy progressive learning, it keeps them exuberant and looking forward to the next session.

A more in-depth explanation and look at these exercises can be found in the 6 DVD Master Horsemanship Series or the 3 DVD Colt Starting Set. For anyone wanting to see a horse learning to learn and building their confidence which is a big step in starting the young horse, we have put together a short video clip of some of the processes from our Colt Starting DVDs up on our website at www.thehorseranch.com look at “Articles” under “Happenings”. Enjoy the video

Unload, feed and water every 4-6 hours. Sometimes bringing your own water along or giving the horse electrolytes prior to transport will encourage them to keep drinking. Try to limit the amount of time in the trailer to 12 hours in one day.

During hot weather be aware of the air temperature inside the trailer. Trailers without open ventilation will often get quite warm inside, open vents if needed to keep air circulating and keep the horses from sweating excessively.

Travel season is more stressful on a horse and there is a higher likelihood of them colicing or developing stomach ulcers. Colic and ulcers will both often look like stomach pain, kicking at belly, trying to go down and rolling. Colic can progress and get quite severe therefore seeking veterinary care is advisable.

Gastric ulcers will typically resolve but if symptoms recur we do administer medication to prevent and treat them.

Lastly, always have a first aid kit on hand in case something happens. We have first aid kits at the clinic for purchase or we can help you put together a kit of useful items depending on your needs.

Show and travel season is a fun time for you and your horse but there are more risks involved; therefore, doing what you can to prevent these, “not-sofun” illnesses, is always recommended! All of us at the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic wish you all the best of luck with all your horse activities this summer and are here for you should you have questions or need our medical care!

Simmental Cattle

The quality of Canadian beef carcasses is changing We know that not every animal coming through the packers’ doors is ideal. Some cattle will have horns that need to be cut off, or extra mud on the hide that slows down the processing line. Some carcasses will have too much fat cover, be bruised, or have lesions where injections were given - all of which require manual trimming.

The more work needed to prepare a carcass for the cooler, the less valuable it is.

Imagine if we knew how often each of the various carcass defects occurred and how costly each of them is. With that information, we as an industry could work to reduce them, starting with the highest priority.

We could also check over time to see if those efforts were working.

That’s what the National Beef Quality Audit (NBQA) does.

The NBQA is a study led by the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) and the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, and is funded primarily by the National Check-off and Canada’s Beef Science Cluster. It periodically measures the quality of Canadian beef by looking at random carcasses from all classes of cattle in eastern and western Canadian packing plant coolers to measure the incidence and severity of defects. The economic impact or the cost to the industry of each is estimated. The NBQA also asks consumers about their eating satisfaction of various beef cuts.

The results allow us to see where the Canadian beef industry is making improvements on carcass quality, and where we need to focus our efforts next.

The NBQA was first undertaken in 1995 and provided a benchmark against which future audits were measured. Subsequent audits were conducted in 1999 and 2011. Another is currently underway, with results expected in 2018.

The results of the latest audit show that significant improvements have been made in a number of areas.

The 1999 audit found that 50% of fed cattle carcasses had one or more bruise. That dropped to 34% by 2011. The severity of bruising in fed cattle remained consistent: 72% of bruises were minor, which means about 0.66 pounds of trim was required; 24% of bruises were major and required approximately 1.5 pounds of trim; and 3.8% were critical, resulting in over 3.2 pounds of trim. The industry lost $2.10/head

or $6.7 million total (fed and non-fed combined) due to bruises on carcasses in 2011.

Bruises can be prevented or minimized by using non-slip flooring in all cattle handling areas and transport trailers, by ensuring smooth surfaces on all handling equipment, and by working cattle calmly and quietly. Remember that temperament is heritable, so it’s best to cull wild cows and their daughters, and to dehorn animals early.

The incidence of horns has also decreased. In 1999, 70% of fed cattle had no horns; that improved to 88% in 2011. Horns cause economic losses from bruising, head condemnations, and extra labor in the packing plant, which can be prevented through the use of polled bulls in breeding programs or by properly dehorning cattle at an early age.

Fed cattle with one or more brands decreased from 25% to 9%, and multiple brands were observed on less than 0.1% of fed cattle in the latest audit, down from more than 8% in 1999. Hide damage from brands accounted for a loss $2.8 million total (fed and non-fed combined) to the industry in 2011.

Among other carcass quality improvements is consumer satisfaction. Measures of juiciness, tenderness and flavour each improved 8-12%.

One area the industry is losing ground on is liver defects. The 1999 audit found that 76% of livers in fed cattle were suitable for human consumption. That dropped to 69% in 2011, and is estimated to have cost the industry $30 million that year. Research is currently underway to better understand and prevent liver defects. Feedlot operators are encouraged to work with a generalized nutritionalist to develop good feed management and ration change practices that prevent grain overload.

The BCRC recently released an engaging 6-minute video about the NBQA. In it you’ll hear the perspectives of a few of the leaders in our industry, including one of the major packers.

Governments announce funding for livestock industry research projects June 9, 2014 - Regina, Saskatchewan - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Today, Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart announced two new research projects worth nearly $1 million that will benefit livestock producers in the province and across Canada. Governments will provide $200,000 toward the projects through the Agriculture Development Fund (ADF), and nearly $800,000 will be provided through industry investment.

“Strengthening the agriculture research capacity in Saskatchewan supports innovation for the long-term profitability and stability of producers,” said Minister Ritz. “Investment in these projects is a direct response to the needs identified by industry and will help producers remain a key contributor to the Canadian economy.”

“Our government is committed to investing in research that helps to provide producers with the tools they need to be successful, and these projects are another example of that,” Stewart said.

“Increasing efficiency though research has proven successful in the past and continued investment is required to meet our agriculture targets in the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth.”

The first project will perform an economic, social and environmental assessment of the Canadian beef industry. The study will help industry

The second project, managed by the Canadian Beef Breeds Council, will focus on development of easy to use genomic selection tools for breed improvement. The project will work with individual breed associations to educate producers on using genomic tools to increase efficiencies in feed and production, minimize health costs, and increase carcass value. The long term goal of this project is to improve the understanding of genomics and increase the uptake by the Canadian beef industry.

“This assessment will enable the measurement of sustainability indicators and is a fundamental step in ensuring consumers have continued confidence in Canadian beef and in Canada as a global leader in sustainable beef production,” said CCA President Dave Solverson.

“The PEACE COUNTRY Cowman’s Choice” HEREFORDS

Calves: are they what their mamas eat?

PEACE COUNTRY BEEF AND FORAGE

As all cattle producers know there are a number of factors that play into having a healthy calf crop. Everyone is well aware of the effects that genetics, summer grazing conditions and disease can have on the growth of their calves, however, one thing that many of us don’t think about is the effect that late summer and fall cow nutrition has on next year’s calf crop. New research into the topic of fetal programming in beef cattle is showing that it may be more im-portant than we thought to make sure our cows’ nutritional needs are met at all times of the year.

We’ve all heard the saying that ‘you are what you eat,’ so from a cattlemen’s perspective, are your calves what their mamas eat?

Fetal programming is a relatively new concept in the

one first needs to understand why the first and second trimesters are im-portant. Many researchers believe that the key to fetal programming lies with how the placenta develops. As Kimberly Von-nahme, a reproductive physiologist with North Dakota State University, explains “Vascularity of the caruncles [the maternal attachment to the placenta] begins at day 90 with a marked increase in blood flow and vascular density by day 120… Any detrimental effects of maternal nutrition during this critical establishment of maternal-fetal vascular systems would impact the ability of the fetus to acquire proper amounts of nutrients and oxygen”. This lack of oxygen and nutrients can then affect the developing organs leading to liver enlargement, reduced muscle growth, thickening of heart walls, hypertension, and insulin resistance in calves as young as eight months of age (angusjournal. com). Two or-gans that are particularly affected are muscle and fat. When the fetus has insufficient nutrients

it will direct nutrients to essential organs, like the heart and brain, and away from less important ones like muscle and fat. Animals are born with a set number of muscle cells with most muscle cells being laid down between the 2nd and 8th months of gestation. After birth, animals can only increase their muscle mass by increasing the size of each individual muscle cell. Fat cells are also primarily laid down during gestation and only increase in size after birth. This means that calves who did not receive adequate nutrition in utero, will have less muscle and less marbling than calves whose dams received adequate nutrition (Steve Parsley, University of Wyoming).

The protein content of the dam’s feed during early gestation has been found to play a particularly important role in a calf’s future performance. University of Idaho researchers have found 15-45 % of calves born to cows fed inadequate amounts of protein in the first trimester will suffer from Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) due to poor lung develop-ment as opposed to 1-5% of calves whose dams had adequate protein. This indicates we may be able to prevent BRD, the leading cause of death in feedlots, by simply ensuring our pregnant cows get adequate amounts of protein. Inadequate protein in the second trimester has been shown to lead to calves with lower average daily gains; less back-fat, decreased

cattle industry, it was originally studied in human medicine. It can be defined as maternal stimuli that can affect fetal development as well as postnatal health and growth (source: Wash-ington State University Extension). In humans, fetal programming is linked to a number of serious chronic diseases in-cluding heart disease and stroke, hypertension, obesity and Type II diabetes (thebarkertheory.org).

Fetal programming has only recently been studied in cattle, but in a short period of time some important discoveries have been made. For many years maintaining an adequate level of nutrition during the last third of gestation has been emphasized. This time period was emphasized because 75% of the fetus’ growth occurs in the last two months of gestation so it was thought that this was the most important period to ensure cows are receiving adequate nutrition from their rations. It has also become well known that large changes in the energy and protein levels of cows in late gestation can affect the birth weight, vigour and health status of calves as well as affecting the dams’ return to estrus. (Tom Hamilton, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture). However, more recent studies have shown it is important to pay close attention to the nutrition of our cows during the first and second trimesters as well.

“Identifying those risk factors where the virus may come into farm -- trucks, trailers, people, equipment, pigs. When you close a farm, you don’t bring new pigs in until you have a negative flow after multiple tests,” he says.

Kyle Favel, owner of Favel Transports, based in Moose Jaw, Sask., runs what he says is the province’s only high health trailer wash. He’s implemented biosecurity protocols into his hauling business, including high health-trained drivers, a custom-built thermal dry bay with fans and low humidity and third party PEDv testing.

High health trailers are washed offsite prior to arriving at home base after a hog delivery. They’re washed a second time, then disinfected, dried and then tested for PEDv. If the virus is detected, the entire wash and disinfection process is repeated. The tight biosecurity measures, Favel says, add additional costs of a few hundred dollars, and it takes additional training time to get drivers on the road, but it’s money well spent.

“That’s the new norm,” Favel says, noting driver education is paramount.

“They need to understand why we’re doing this -- if the farm breaks, well, it affects the whole industry.”

Last week, the United States Department of Agriculture announced mandatory reporting of new detections of PEDv. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the disease is not a reportable or immediately notifiable disease in Canada.

FARM CREDIT CANADA JUNE 13, 2014

by Allison Finnamore As news comes this week of another case of porcine epidemic diarrhrea virus detected at an Ontario farrow-to-finish operation, hog experts in the United States are reminding their producers to remain vigilant with biosecurity.

Speaking to media last week at the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, Dr. Tom Burkgren of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, says warmer summer weather is expected to result in a decline in the number of incidents of PEDv, which thrives in cooler climates. Still, he warned, producers need to remain mindful.

“Our veterinarians are telling producers it’s not time to compromise your biosecurity,” Berkgren says. “Now is the time to leverage the heat and try to tamp down the virus and try to get ready for next fall.”

Last week, 142 new cases of PEDv were reported in the United States, bringing the total to 7,111 confirmed incidents in 30 states. In Canada, 59 cases of PEDv have been found in Ontario, with a handful of other cases being reported outside of the province.

Berkgren stresses the viral load on farms needs to decrease, meaning cleaning, disinfection and drying are paramount, especially in farrowing rooms.

Longer drying periods, he says, appear to help with elimination of the virus.

Even though that may result in longer spans between herds, it has been shown to reduce the concentration of the virus.

Calves: are they what their mamas eat?

Continued from page 23 marbling scores and carcasses which were an average of 60 pounds lighter than calves fed in the same feedlots whose dams had adequate protein (Jim Church, University of Idaho). In today’s market, 60 pounds could result in a $100 smaller paycheck for each and every calf.

Interestingly, not only are feeder animals affected by fetal programming, replacement heifers are as well. Heifers born to dams with adequate protein levels during gestation had greater weaning and pre-breeding weights, and had a 13% higher pregnancy rate than heifers with inadequate protein (Tom Hamilton, Ontario Ministry of Agricul-ture). Heifers born to dams that received adequate nutrition throughout their pregnancy were also more likely to calve in the first 21 days of calving and calved unassisted more often than heifers that received inadequate nutrients while in utero (beefmagazine.com).

It is important to remember that not every poor doing calf has experienced fetal programming due to inadequate maternal nutrition during pregnancy, but it is something that producers should consider for whole groups of underperforming animals.

Questions producers can ask themselves to determine if fetal programming is affecting their herds include: Are your calves growing as you would normally expect them to? Do you have more open heifers in the fall than you would normally expect? Are you having far more problems with BRD than normal that can’t be otherwise explained? Producers should also look back to the previous year’s weather and environmental conditions to determine if their feed may have been of lower quality or if cows had less access to feed than normal.

What can producers do to limit the negative effects of fetal programming in their herds? The first step is deter-mining

and Forage Asso-ciation as the summer technician this year. I grew up on a small purebred and commercial cattle farm just north of Rycroft. I spent much of my childhood showing bulls, heifers and steers at local purebred association shows and at local 4-H sales. I was a member of the East-West Woking and Eaglesham 4-H beef clubs for 9 years. As a 4-H member, I was able to trav-el to the Northern International Livestock Exhibition in Billings Montana as a member of the Alberta 4-H Livestock Judging Team and I also served as a Provincial Ambassador for two years.

After high school I studied Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary for two years before applying to veterinary school. I am currently in my 3rd year of veterinary school at the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and will graduate as a member of the Class of 2016. I have a strong interest in large animal medicine and I currently serve as the President of the school’s Production Animal Health Club. After graduating I hope to return to the Peace Country to work as a large animal veterinarian. My primary interests lie with beef industry and I hope to work closely with primarily cow-calf and feedlot clients to improve the health and productivity of their herds. At some point in the future I would like to be able to own my own large animal veterinary clinic somewhere in the Peace Country.

Throughout the summer I hope to broaden my experience and learn more about the pro-duction side of the beef industry and more about some of the unique challenges producers in the Peace Country face in order to better serve my future clients. I hope to meet many of you out at the research sites and at the field days this summer.

the nutrient content of your forages.

A forage quality test will allow you to evaluate both the energy and protein content of your feed. The next step is determining the nutrient requirements of your cows at each stage of production, and this information can be obtained from beef nutritionists, extension specialists, veterinarians, or from online resources like www.merckmanuals.com and Alberta Agriculture’s online database of resources.

If your forages will not meet the needs of your cows at each stage of gestation, supplementing with pellets or grain could be considered. Another option that could be considered would be cutting a portion of hay earlier when protein and energy will be high, so that poorer quality hay can be fed with higher quality hay to properly meet nutrient requirements. If producers find grain or other supplements at a good price this summer it may also pay off to purchase now and save it for supplementation this fall and winter. An important step producers should take at this time of year is to ensure their cows are in good body condition before they go out to pasture to limit the amount of energy they will have to spend this summer to regain their body condition, leaving more nutrients for both this year and next year’s calf.

The research being done in fetal programming is very interesting, and worth keeping an eye on. It could change the way we feed our cow herds, as well as what we consider and look for when purchasing new breeding stock to add to our herds. Going forward, fetal programming will be an important concept for all sectors of the cattle business to pay attention to, from cow-calf producers all the way to the processing level. The biggest challenge of course, will be for each sector, especially the cow-calf producer, to be able to realize upon the added value and profits that a concept like fetal programming can provide to the industry.

CFO Stewardship Program opens to Commercial Manure Applicators AGRI-NEWS JUNE 16, 2014

Growing Forward 2 has opened its Confined Feeding Operation (CFO) Stewardship Program to commercial manure applicators in Alberta.

Commercial manure applicators (or custom applicators, manure haulers or corral cleaners, as they are sometimes called) are now eligible for $70,000 on a 50/50 cost share for equipment and other items related to safe manure application.

“In the past this program only offered grant funding to livestock producers (such as dairy and hog operations)

to help them purchase manure injection equipment,” says Jennifer Neden, coordinator, Confined Feeding Operation Stewardship Program, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Lethbridge. “In addition to being opened to commercial manure applicators, the list of eligible items under the program has increased and the maximum grant has gone up from $20,000 to $70,000.

Items are still cost shared 50/50.”

Neden says the change was made to include custom manure applicators because they apply the majority of liquid manure in the province.

“The change now allows them to access funds to help them purchase equip-

ment that injects manure below the soil surface, which helps to manage odour and prevent loss of nitrogen and other gasses to the atmosphere,” says Neden. “ And because they transport so much manure, the program is there to assist them in purchasing proper road signs to notify the public, auto-shut off features to help prevent spills, and software to help map and record where manure is applied.”

“It’s important to note that these changes (the cap and expanded list of eligible items) also apply to any livestock producer applying for grant assistance under this project category of the program,” says Nedin. “In addition,

this category is now retroactive back to April 1, 2013, meaning that if a commercial manure applicator or a producer purchased an eligible item last year they can still apply for a grant under the program” To be eligible for funding, commercial manure applicators must attend a one day workshop to be hosted in Olds in July.

For more information, go to the GF2 website or call Jennifer Neden at 403329-1212 ext. 225.

In a partnership with industry, including the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency (ALMA), Alberta Innovates Bio Solutions and Egg Farmers of Alberta, Dr. Jianping Wu, of the University of Alberta, has been researching additional uses for eggs with a focus on links between eggs and human health.

Dr. Wu’s says his research has found an environmentally friendly way to extract one of the proteins (phosvitin) and a type of fatty acid (phospholipid) from egg yolks. This is done without the use of solvents that degrade product quality and can hurt the environment. Phosvitin, a protein in egg yolk, can find applications in bone and dental health.

Extracting the phosvitin protein, minus the use of solvents, may result in safer commercial extraction methods.

In a second project, Dr. Wu says he has developed proof-of-concept technology to extract sialic acid from egg white ovomucin.

“Sialic acid, an essential nutrient for infant brain development, is found in rich supply in human milk,” says Dr.

Wu. “Egg whites, unlike bovine milk, have the same form of sialic acid as found in human milk.”

Wu believes the future could see infant formula containing egg-derived sialic acid rather than bovine milkderived sialic acid, bringing the formula ingredients more in line with infants’ natural needs.

Dr. Wu says the extraction approach used isn’t complicated. “The methods we developed for extraction are simple, using only water and salt as mediums, and are scalable for industry application.”

“These projects diversify the uses of eggs, adding additional value to this commodity,” says ALMA president and CEO, Gordon Cove. “Consumers want environmentally friendly, natural products. Dr. Wu’s research is helping to meet these wants.”

Chicken campaign creates connections FARM CREDIT CANADA JUNE 13, 2014

by Owen Roberts Chicken farmers are hoping a new grassroots branding campaign will capitalize on producers’ already high public standing, while appealing to consumers’ demand for quality, safety and local food.

The campaign, “Raised by a Canadian Farmer,” was launched on Monday by the Chicken Farmers of Canada.

The campaign showcases farmers’ commitment to provide nutritious chicken raised to the highest standards of care, quality and freshness, says CFC chair David Janzen.

“Consumers increasingly want to know the story behind their food,” he says. “Thanks to the system of supply management, most chicken in grocery stores is already produced by Canadian farmers. But with ever-growing calls to know where and how food is produced, we need to let shoppers know just how proud our farmers are in helping to feed families in every corner of the country.”

Abbotsford, B.C. chicken farmer Kerry Froese says the Raised by a

Canadian Farmer branding initiative is a plus for producers.

“It brings additional value to our already well-regarded product,” Froese says. “This brand will go a long way towards [supporting] management and profitability, in it’s clear demonstration of the commitment of Canadian chicken farmers to consumers.”

The organization’s research shows most Canadians would trust a national brand if it came from a farmers’ group, rather than from a retailer or processor.

They also believe it’s important that chicken be labelled with its country of origin. And more than 85 per cent feel it is important that the chicken they buy is not imported.

The chicken farmers’ organization is also promoting poultry welfare with this campaign. It notes chicken farmers animal care program is aligned with humane treatment standards and supported by the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association.

And finally, it says, branding chicken raised in Canada affirms consumer preferences for local food, and showcases Canadian farming practices.

John Deere’s powerful, reliable tier 3 marine engine lineup Courtesy of John Deere New 9.0L, 13.5L models complete 74 to 559 kW (99 to 750 hp) range WATERLOO, Iowa (October 7, 2013) — John Deere Power Systems (JDPS) is pleased to announce that it will meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Marine Tier 3 emissions regulations with a complete lineup of diesel engines from 74 to 559 kW (99 to 750 hp). New PowerTech™ 9.0L and 13.5L Tier 3 propulsion and generator-drive engines join the previously announced 4.5L and 6.8L Tier 3 models, offering customers a full range of powerful and reliable choices for commercial and recreational applications.

John Deere Tier 3 marine engines meet current European Union emissions requirements for propulsion engines used on recreational crafts and inland waterway vessels. They also meet current limits established by International Maritime Organization (IMO) MARPOL Annex VI. The PowerTech 6090AFM85, PowerTech 6090SFM85, PowerTech 6135AFM85 and PowerTech 6135SFM85 propulsion and generator-drive engines are the latest additions to the John Deere Tier 3 lineup. Tier 3 regulations impacting these 9.0L and 13.5L engines take effect in 2014.

“John Deere 9.0L and 13.5L Tier 3 marine engines offer customers hasslefree replacement options,” said Carl Micu, manager of North American

engine sales for JDPS. “Our larger Tier 2 marine engines were developed with Tier 3 emissions regulations in mind, allowing us to transition to Tier 3 without significant hardware changes. These engines will provide customers with a similar package and performance while meeting the more stringent regulations.”

“In addition to emissions compliance, our complete Tier 3 marine engine lineup offers the power, reliable performance, long life, fuel efficiency, quiet operation, ease of maintenance and simplified integration that customers have come to expect from John Deere.”

New 9.0L engines John Deere has added two new 9.0L models to its lineup of Tier 3 marine engines: the PowerTech 6090AFM85 and PowerTech 6090SFM85 propulsion and generator-drive engines.

The PowerTech 6090AFM85 is an airto-coolant aftercooled version of the John Deere 9.0L engine and offers outstanding power density and long-term reliability.

The engine is available in four different propulsion ratings from 213 to 317 kW (285 to 425 hp); gen-set ratings include 222 kW (297 hp) at 1800 rpm for 60 Hz and 195 kW (261 hp) at 1500 rpm for 50 Hz. The PowerTech 6090SFM85 is a turbocharged and air-to-seawater aftercooled engine. The model is available in five different propulsion ratings from 242 to 410 kW (325 to 550 hp); gen-drive ratings include 222 kW (298 hp) at 1500

rpm for 50 Hz and 278 kW (373 hp) at 1800 rpm for 60 Hz. “The John Deere PowerTech 6090SFM85 engine is an excellent choice for high-speed craft such as sportfishing boats and planing hull yachts,” Micu said.

Both 9.0L models feature a highpressure common-rail fuel system, four valves per cylinder and turbocharging.

The PowerTech 6090AFM85 is available with keel-cooled or integrated heat exchanger options. The PowerTech 6090SFM85 has an integrated heat exchanger configuration.

New 13.5L engines John Deere 13.5L Tier 3 propulsion and generator-drive engines include the

39

PowerTech 4045AFM85 model provides quiet, smooth operation for recreational vessels.”

In addition to the PowerTech 4045AFM85 engine, John Deere has also added the PowerTech 4045TFM85 generator-drive engine, which offers quiet and smooth operation for gen-set applications. The 4045TFM85 engine offers a prime power rating of 74 kW (99 hp) at 60 Hz (1800 rpm), and features a high-pressure common-rail fuel system, two valves per cylinder, and the choice of keel-cooled or integrated heat exchanger options.

John Deere also added two new 6.8L models to the lineup of marine engines: the PowerTech 6068AFM85 and PowerTech 6068SFM85 propulsion and generator drive engines. Both engines cover the power range previously covered by the popular PowerTech 6081AFM75 propulsion and generator-drive engine.

The PowerTech 6068AFM85 and 6068SFM85 engines feature highpressure common-rail fuel systems, four valves per cylinder and low-temperature aftercoolers.

The 6068AFM85 model is available with keel-cooled or integrated heat exchanger options. The 6068SFM85 engine is offered with an integrated heat exchanger configuration.

“We increased the power density of our 6.8L Tier 3 engines to help maximize living or cargo space for our customers,” Micu said.

John Deere will continue to offer Tier 2 and non-certified marine engine models for regions and applications not impacted by the new regulations.

Continued from 39 most powerful engine produced by John Deere. The turbocharged and air-toseawater aftercooled engine features six cylinders and electronic controls, providing high torque at low speeds. The 6135SFM85 model is available in five different propulsion ratings from 317 to 559 kW (425 to 750 hp); gen-drive ratings include 416 kW (558 hp) at 1800 rpm for 60 Hz and 334 kW (448 hp) at 1500 rpm for 50 Hz. Both 13.5L models feature electronic unit injectors, four valves per cylinder and turbocharging. The PowerTech 6135AFM85 engine is available with keel-cooled or integrated heat exchanger options. The 6135SFM85 has an integrated heat exchanger configuration.

4.5L and 6.8L engines EPA Marine Tier 3 regulations impacting John Deere 4.5L and 6.8L engines went into effect January 1, 2013.

John Deere previously introduced the PowerTech 4045AFM85 engine, its most powerful 4.5L marine engine, as part of a new lineup of PowerTech 4.5L and 6.8L propulsion and generator-drive Tier 3 engines. With ratings of up to 168 kW (225 hp), the PowerTech 4045AFM85 engine serves as a more powerful and compact replacement of the PowerTech 6.8L 6068TFM75 propulsion and PowerTech 6.8L 6068TFM76 generatordrive engines.

“The PowerTech 4045AFM85 delivers more power in a smaller displacement engine, offering constant power at 400 rpm below rated speed,” Micu said. “This makes the engine an excellent choice for recreational uses. As a gen-set engine, the

46 The Northern Horizon, June 20, 2014

On the open road

Quebec: Riding like a local Riding in the rain to the Auberge Carcajou, (l’Auberge Carcajou) I wondered what the evening would hold in store.

The Auberge Caracjou is owned by Lise, Emy and Marc- Andre, it’s truly family run!

Marc-Andre greeted me as I pulled up on the bike.

He helped me to the room with my bags and then invited me down to the dining room when I was ready.

The Auberge is very rustic in its decor, lots of wood and antiques, a passion of Lise’s (Emy’s mom).

The smells coming from the kitchen had my mouth watering.

Marc-Andre presented me the menu and after I made my choices, I took a bit of time to wander around.

The big wrap around deck was definitely going to make a great place for writing and editing in the morning!

Emy, is the chef here and his creations are not only flavorful but delightfully presented.

Although young, Emy has a flair for flavors and presentation far beyond her years.

After an absolutely succulent dinner, I turned my eyes to the desserts. I am a fan of Crème Brule and Emy’s was perfection.

After dinner, I was taken on a tour of the Auberge, and shown the lounge downstairs and the beautiful hot tub room. I was only too happy to avail myself of the hot tub and had a warm soak and headed to bed.

Now during dinner I had been told that there were 13 band members going to be staying for the evening and that they would not arrive until late as they were doing a benefit concert in town.

What I did not count on was how loud and rowdy they would become.

I had had a peaceful sleep for about 3-4 hours when the ruckus began and finally gave up on sleep at about 5 am.

I went down and made coffee for myself and then had words with a few of the partiers. The exchange was not overly pleasant. Both Emy and Marc-Andre did

their best to apologize for the behavior, loudness and drunkenness.

I had my breakfast at about 7 am, and again, the food was marvelous, jams made from fruit in the gardens and fresh bread on top of a wonderful omelet and pretty soon I was feeling a whole lot better.

At 9 am Lynn and Pierre from L’Association moto-tourisme de Jonquière arrived to take me whale watching.

It was going to be a busy, busy day.

We rode to Lac Ha!Ha! and the Saint Rose North Lookout (Sainte-Rose-duNord).

The road up to the look out was twisty and had a steep grade, the walk in from the parking area to the actual look out was challenging, but when you get to the top, it is soooo worth it to see the Fjord in all its splendor.

We rode to the bottom and had some wonderful ice cream and then we were off, heading to Tadoussac and whale watching.

What had started out as an overcast day became filled with brilliant sunshine and we road along the river, all curvy and winding.

We had a couple of selfish boobs in fancy cars who were road racing each other cutting people off, passing on double solid lines and in curves and endangering everyone. I had my cameras on and at one of the many construction stops; I made sure they knew they had been filmed (I turned the film into the police after the situation). As these two characters were in front of us, it didn’t take long for them to be well ahead of us and we no longer had to deal with their unsafe habits.

We pulled into the Hotel Tadoussac with a little bit of time to spare.

We got our tickets and then sat outside just basking in the sunshine and chatting.

Before long the shuttle bus came to pick us up and we were boarding a ship!

There were a TON of riders from Quebec City on board with us and I had a blast getting to know them!

It was incredible to watch the whales

and the gal who did the commentary was wonderful and bilingual.

I was amazed at how hard it was to film and photograph them to catch them breaching.

We were fortunate that Mother Nature’s performers were out in abundance; they weren’t overly active as they were feeding, but we did get to see many whales!

When our tour was over, Lynne, Pierre and I headed for Saint Simeon.

We met up with Francois Gariepy of Charlevoix Tourism who was going to be riding me to by Auberge for the night. We did interviews for Ride Like a Local with both gents and then shared a final coffee.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of the members of the various riding clubs who spent time on the road with me. Gilles, Rejean, Francine, Dennis, Lynne, Pierre, Sweet Pie, Carl – I pray I didn’t miss anyone – you showed me a side of Quebec that has become

P A R T

special in my heart – the brotherhood and sisterhood of the road is alive and well – no language barrier is going to stop riders from REALLY connecting with each other.

Thank you for sharing your history, culture and gastronomy with me.

It was an honor to ride with you and see Quebec through your eyes.

You inspired me to write a book which should be published on iTunes soon called Quebec for the English Speaking Rider, it’s a book that I hope will encourage riders all across North America to experience La Belle Province.

Thank you to Nancy Donnelly of Tourisme Saguenay-Lac-Saint Jean for putting together such a great tour, I loved every minute of it!

With hugs and kisses and handshakes, Francois and I departed towards La Mal Baie and that’s where I will leave you for this week. BDB

Geopark delegates get warm welcome in Tumbler Ridge Elaine Anselmi Staff Writer

On the day of the community’s 30th anniversary, the Tumbler Ridge Aspiring Geopark celebrated another milestone on June 6 with the kickoff of a four-day evaluation towards receiving official Geopark designation.

Nearly 100 supporters and five dinosaurs greeted delegates from the Global Geoparks Network and Canadian National Committee for Geoparks for an opening reception at the Dinosaur Discovery Gallery in the district.

“We’ve got our first day out of four behind us, which was a wonderfully productive day – we feel really good about today, but nothing is guaranteed,” said Dr. Charles Helm, chair of the Tumbler Ridge Aspiring Geopark Committee.

“These folks have very high standards. The comments we got were really constructive – there’s obviously more work that we have to do, but constructive comments allow us to move ahead," Helm continued.

The event opened with a First Nations blessing by committee member Marsha Dufresne, illustrating the wisdom in the natural world that people must be cognizant and respectful of.

The event followed with a number of speakers, including local government and organizations, Peace River Regional District Chair Karen Goodings and Peace River South MLA Mike Bernier.

Global Geoparks Network delegates Dr. Luis Alcala and Dr. Jianping Zhang also said a few words, along with Dr. Godfrey Nowlan, Chairperson of the Canadian National Committee for Geoparks.

“I think it was said at the beginning that we should look to the earth, and Geoparks are all about looking to the earth,” said Nowlan. “What we are looking at in Geoparks is about celebrating our planet, getting to know it better and being proud of whatever your piece of it is.”

In order to give the delegation an idea of Tumbler Ridge’s unique place, the next three days offered a packed schedule. If the evaluation mission and application are successful, the Tumbler Ridge Aspiring Geopark could receive official designation through UNESCO this fall.

“Our problem is we could keep them here for a month and still not exhaust what our proposed Geopark has to offer,” said Helm. “We’ve got to be selective, choosing just the highlights, so that’s been a challenge.”

Over the coming days, Helm said they would be taking a helicopter ride over some main features of the park, a riverboat ride through the Murray Canyon, a tour of the Peace River Coal Mine and enjoy a “living off the land” dinner banquet of wild meat and foraged edibles.

A farewell barbecue will also be hosted on the fourth night by the Lions Club, and in between, Helm said there would be a great deal of committee work and trips to the network of trails.

During the opening reception, the support for the Aspiring Geopark was evident not only through the enthusiastic audience, but by a number of grants offered up to make the dream a reality.

In addition to funds previously approved by local government through gaming grants, the provincial government has designated $30,000 towards a master plan and marketing strategy for the Geopark, and Lake View Credit Union handed over a cheque for $3,000, which Helm said would go towards developing archives for the community.

In addition, outdoors store Mountain Equipment Co-op has granted $10,000 towards the Tumbler Ridge Trail – the Geopark project is a 27-kilometre trail that encircles the community.

“It’s overwhelming the amount of support we see, not only from the people of Tumbler Ridge but the regional district and the province,” said Tumbler Ridge Mayor Darwin Wren. “We’ve got leaders from the First Nations here, it’s truly a celebration of the efforts we’ve made so far to date and there is really optimism in the room that our application will be successful.”

As the community moves away from its reputation as a one-resource town, Wren said the Aspiring Geopark and new Visitor Information Centre would be key parts of that effort.

“It’s a marquee piece in the overall strategy around tourism and diversification of the economy, and we’re really excited and proud of the work that’s been done by the volunteers,” said Wren. “In the end, we slowly become less reliant on coal – we absolutely embrace the coal industry, still, but from a taxation and a revenue perspective, the more we can get different channels of revenue coming into the district, that’s good for everyone, and that’s good for the sustainability and long-term future of Tumbler Ridge.”

Friday's opening remarks were given alongside some of the remarkable dinosaur discoveries made in and near Tumbler Ridge, giving onlookers an impressive view of what once lived in the South Peace.

Bedding plant control AGRI-NEWS JUNE 16, 2014

“With the gardening season in full swing most bedding plant producers in the province will have moved a significant amount of their product,” says Dustin Morton, commercial horticulture specialist, Alberta Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “However, Mother Nature and consumer trends can throw even the best schedules off, raising the question of what to do with those plants that are getting leggy and overgrown. Many different techniques are available including using temperature, chemical treatments and physical cutting. All are important for proper control and to help rescue overgrown plants.”

One method that has been around since the 1980s is commonly referred to as DIF and involves using different day and night temperatures.

“DIF is the difference between day temperatures and night temperatures and has been shown to affect how much a plant stem stretches while growing,” says Morton. “As negative DIF increases (warmer nights and cooler days) the result is shorter, more compact plants.

Similarly, increasing positive DIF (cooler nights and warmer days) will encourage stem elongation. A positive DIF is not uncommon in Alberta given our longer, sunny spring days and still relatively cool nights. This can, however, be countered by introducing cold air into the greenhouse, pre-dawn, for 2-3 hours. By aiming for a temperature drop of 2-5°C below the night time temperature, you can induce the effect of a negative DIF without the cost and associated hassle.”

Plant Growth Regulators or PGRs are chemicals used to control plant height generally through the manipulation of plant hormones.

“Many of these chemicals occur naturally in plants; however, the quantities in which they are applied are meant to overload the plants naturally occurring compounds and rewire its growth patterns for a period of time,” says Morton. “Thus, PGRs are classified as

ly retard or even kill part of your crop in this way.’

Alternatively, says Morton, some plants may just need to be pinched, either with a soft pinch or a hard pinch. “A soft pinch is generally defined as the removal of just the growing point which results in the plant being slower to branch as it is still battling with apical dominance. A hard pinch on the other hand is often considered to involve the removal of several leaves and the growing point. This typically results in a flurry of branches and growth, but growth may be less desirable depending on where it branches from.”

Not all plants respond equally to DIF, pinching, and the various chemicals available. “It is always advisable to read labels, do research and talk to other growers about their experience,” adds Morton. “If you are unable to find the information you are looking for, experiment with only a couple of plants to ensure that you don’t jeopardize your entire crop and always keep good records for next season. By incorporating these and other techniques into your production cycle you can ensure that your plants will always be ready for sale.”

Alberta’s farmers markets are now in now full swing right across the province.

“We have 129 approved markets throughout the province that are open throughout the summer,” says Eileen Kotowich, farmers market specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD), Vermilion. “This includes 25 markets that operate year round.”

Kotowish says Alberta’s farmers markets offer a diverse selection of goods. “What you’ll see in the markets right now are lots of greenhouse bedding plants and vegetables, early season vegetables, and lots of baking and other year-round products.”

A 2012 ARD study shows that the value of farmers markets has tripled since 2004, reaching $724 million in 2012. More than 70 per cent of Alberta households have made a purchase at a farmers market over the course of 2011-12. Kotowich says part of the success of farmers markets is that consumers want to know where their food is coming from. “It gives you a feeling of trust when you can look the producer in the eye and talk to them about how they raise their animals and grow their crops.”

Alberta approved farmers markets are identifiable to the public by the Sunnygirl logo. A minimum of 80 per cent of venders’ products must be produced in Alberta to qualify as an Alberta approved farmers market.

pesticides and, as such, should be treated with the same respect and caution as all other chemicals.”

Typically, PGRs are applied at the seedling or early transplant stage to ensure that by the time people come to buy the plants, they are at an appropriate size. However, they can also be used to keep plants in check once they reach their final size.

“Generally, a high concentration foliar application (in the upper half of the recommended range) will last sufficiently long without affecting final growth as a high concentration drench might,” says Morton. “Less experienced growers may find it less daunting to apply a lower rate dose and then follow up with a similar application if they’re finding that control is insufficient.

Remember, a proper application should hold a plant for 2-3 weeks in hot weather and still allow it to flourish when planted in its final location.”

Cutting and “pinching back” are two techniques that Morton says can be the greenhouse grower’s best friend, as they are generally the easiest and most cost effective method for dealing with leggy plants. “When attempting to rescue plants, they’re often cut back by half or more. While many plants will respond with a flush of new growth, some species will not. Knowing which species will respond is crucial as you can severe-

Lakes stocked with trout Nanaimo-area lakes were restocked with catchable-size rainbow trout this week.

Each spring and fall, Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. releases up to 8 million fish into B.C. lakes, including thousands in five Nanaimo lakes.

The fish are reared at the Vancouver Island Trout Hatchery in Duncan, which releases approximately 250,000 fish each year into Island lakes and rivers. A large proportion of these fish are catchable-size rainbow trout that are released into urban lakes to provide an instant fishery. – Daily News

Chinese Restaurant Awards Combine Chinese Cuisine and Canadian Meat AGRI-NEWS JUNE 9, 2014

The sixth annual Chinese Restaurant Awards were recently held in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The awards are part of the Chinese Master Chef program, which aims to integrate high-quality Canadian ingredients into world-class Chinese dishes.

The awards showcase the top talent in Chinese cuisine.

The objective of the event was to showcase Alberta beef and pork to a group of national and international chefs, as well as food service operators. Six world-class chefs from China and Hong Kong created dishes using Canadian products, and the recipes themselves were taped for television exposure both in Canada and China.

“The Chinese Restaurant Awards are

a unique opportunity for our industry,” says Gordon Cove, president and CEO, Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency (ALMA). “On one level, it is a domestic marketing opportunity that draws attention to the great Chinese chefs in Canada that are creating amazing food from Canadian meat. On another level, the awards and the Chinese Master Chef program work together as an international marketing campaign showing potential customers in our target markets how high-quality Canadian meat can bring new flavors to their traditional dishes. So our industry gets a lot of value out of this one event.”

For more information and a list of winners, go here.
