By Tracey Erickson, SDSU Extension Even though fall harvest is a ways off, we still encounter farm equipment on the road, whether it is a tractor and baler, someone hauling feed between farms, or the impending corn silage harvest in about four to five weeks. The point is we all need to be vigilant as a producer or a motorist encountering farm equipment on the road.

FOR MOTORISTS As motorists, there are things we need to remember.

First patience is key. Most farm equipment that is operating on the roadways is traveling at speeds between 15-25 mph. When encountering a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) Emblem on equipment it is an immediate warning to slow down. We also need to remember that it may be necessary to operate farm equipment on the roadways to move between fields or farms and they are also entitled to do so, legally. An example that is often cited is that if you are driving 55 mph and come upon farm equipment that is driving 15 mph, it will only take five seconds to close a gap the length of a football field between you and the farm equipment.

Motorists should also not assume that a producer knows you are there. However, once they know you are there they will attempt to pull over, if they are able to do so safely, so you may pass. Patience is key, there may not be an always an approach that is immediately accessible or a ditch that allows them to ride the shoulder without tipping or running into an object. If you choose to pass, please do so with caution using the following guidelines: • Be aware of other vehicles behind you that may also be trying to pass.

• If you enter the oncoming lane of traffic, do not pass unless you are able to see clearly in front of you and the farm equipment you are passing.

• Do not pass if there are incoming hills or curves which may block your view.

• Do not pass if you are in a designated “No Passing Zone” or within 100 feet of any intersection, railroad crossing, or bridge.

• Do not assume if farm equipment slows down and pulls out to the right that they will be turning right or is letting you pass. Due to the size of today’s farm equipment many must execute very wide left-hand turns and in fact may be turning left instead. Check for hand signals, turn signals, or approaches.

• Remember that farm equipment is very large and cannot stop on a dime.

FOR EQUIPMENT OPERATORS Agricultural producers also need to do their part as they share the roadways. All vehicles that move less than 25 mph must be equipped with a SMV reflective emblem. The emblem should be kept clean, must be visible, and replacement is recommended every 2-3 years. Producers should also place reflective tape on equipment marking the edges of the farm equipment, Continued on page 9

sure all heads were accounted for.

The bus stayed put until everyone was on, sometimes it took three or four headcounts.

Toots enjoyed picking berries, family, friends, and enjoyed her homemade jams and jellies over pancakes with real cow’s cream on top. When breakfast was over, out of the oven came fresh buns and more homemade jams and jellies. If it was a good year there was also fried up homesmoked moose jerky (like back bacon, only better) or smoked moose sausage.

Mmm Mmm! Life was good around Toots’ kitchen table! Good food, good talks and of course, good company and later on a card game or two.

to commemorate this significant milestone. A total of 58 families are being recognized across the province this year, including six families who were honoured in Lethbridge on August 18.

Jessie, better known as Toots, was born in Fort McLeod, Alberta, the youngest child of four to Lena and Jesse Johnson. In 1928, they moved their family up to the Peace Country. They stayed in Doe River, BC for three years and then moved across the Peace River to Cherry Point, Alberta where they hung their hat. They built a house there using lumber from Streeper’s Landing.

One room of the house was used to

become the first store in Cherry Point.

She took her schooling in Cherry Point and Dawson Creek.

On October 19, 1948, Toots married Albert Campbell and they started a home and a family in Cherry Point.

They had three children, Gary born in November, 1949, Dee is May of 1952, and Jane in July of 1959.

They filed for land in 1960 across the Clear River and spent the summer of 1961 in a tent and a lean-to. The outdoor kitchen had a blue roof and only leaked when it rained. Toots helped Albert raise cattle (he loved his cattle), raised their kids, and she was known to have three gardens going in the same year: one down at the river, one up on top of the hill, and since Albert never wanted to run out of potatoes a few rows were put out in the field “just in case”. This way when he was tired of working on the tractor, he could help Toots hill potatoes!

Family and community meant everything to Toots and of course, a few card games. I think more card games were had than beavers were skinned up on the Y. I was told it eased up the work load.

Toots helped Albert, who drove a school bus, with field trips, making

Light Horse Show Builds Camaraderie The Dawson Creek Exhibition Association would like to thank everyone who helped make our light horse show a success.

The rain didn’t stop the enthusiasm; it was great to see lots of smiling participants in the three junior divisions and senior division.

It is always a pleasure to see the older and more experienced riders help riders new to the show ring.

Good sportsmanship is very important while smiling and being

helpful, whether winning or not.

Junior and Senior Sportsmanship Award winners receive a cooler donated by Peace River Building & Feed Store of Fort St. John and Equestrian Options.

Once again, local businesses contributed to the show’s success with lots of beautiful prizes.

This year’s event included Halter, Showmanship, Reining, Trail, Western, English, and Jumping classes.

Thanks for your support

The Light Horse Division Committee would like to extend a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers who gave of their time to help everything run smoothly, as well as to all of our sponsors for their generosity in helping make the event a very enjoyable success.

Alaska Highway News

Down the winding road to the Halfway River First Nation, there’s a comfort in the landscape that sets a pristine backdrop for a rodeo.

On Saturday and Sunday over 200 participants from across Northern B.C. found recluse at the small rodeo grounds nestled 80 kilometres outside of Fort St. John and for the 14th year in a row to competed at the Halfway River Valley Round Up Open Rodeo.

Jeff Metecheah, Vice President of Halfway River Valley Roughstock and Roping Club “It’s two one day rodeos, after every purse we do a cash payout,” he said.

“Just makes for a better rodeo and people camp out.”

Metecheah has been a part of rodeo scene in halfway for more than a decade and that includes getting his hands dirty laying the groundwork for the original rodeo arena.

“I’ve been a part of this since the beginning, we built this [arena] by hand and we got this started in about 2000,” he said.

“We pretty much ran away with it, this year we have the most entries we’ve had since we began. It seems to be getting bigger and bigger and people still want enter. It’s good, for two days every august we have friends and family come over and have some fun.”

Those entries included plenty of talent young and old, like rodeo legends Steve Holman and former Professional Bull Riding champion Daryl Mills.

Along with those grizzled rodeo vet-

erans there were plenty of youngsters hitting the arena to gear up for the B.C. High School Rodeo Association season.

“It’s really good, you have the 1994 PCRA world champion bull rider Daryl Mills and his family here,” Metecheah said.

“This rodeo helps a lot of the young contestants like Chance Bolin and high school rodeo [kids]. It gives them a chance to hone their skills and earn scholarships to get a better life for themselves. It’s a plus all the way for us.”

Bolin, 16, who was fresh off a provincial championship in three events earlier this year said no matter where the rodeo is he’s always got one thing on his mind.

“Any rodeo I want to be doing my best at all times, I want to be winning if I can,” he said.

And although he has a provincial champion belt buckle in the saddle bronc, Bolin came up just short on Saturday in the event with a score of 64.

“Ride was good, got in there spurred lots, went out to win I guess,” Bolin explained casually just as the winning ride went on behind him.

Hanna Pedersen, 14, was another young rodeo hopeful who knows a little bit about winning after becoming a Canadian champion to finish off the high school season.

More than 200 rodeo contestants hit the arena at the annual Halfway River Valley Open Round Up Open Rodeo

d at halfway river

That championship pedigree helped Pedersen during day one of the breakaway event, as she won with a time of 3.7 seconds, even after some trying circumstances.

“It was really stressful because I was supposed to be in the second half of breakaway,” she said.

“So I wasn’t with my horse or anything, so I actually had to borrow someone’s horse and someone’s rope. It was kind of stressful, just caught me off guard. I did pretty good considering I had nothing of my own…You just focus on roping, doesn’t matter what you’re using, just do what you can.”

An added bonus for Pedersen is competing close to home, as most often the rodeo season sees the young rider away from home for weeks at a time.

“I quite enjoy it here, it’s close to home and we’ve been here lots before,” she said about the Halfway River rodeo. “We left this morning, you don’t have to haul a long way. You don’t have to be gone forever, it’s easier on the horses too.”

Metecheah was also quick to thank all the sponsors and the volunteers who helped organize the event, without whom the event would not be possible. sports@ahnfsj.ca

Breakfast Brief

Expected Stumps

11:30 a.m. - August 21, 2015 Don Biegel

The grains complex continues to deal with decent growing conditions and better than expected crops for the fields that are getting harvested. Canola is following the rest of the vegetable oil complex as they all continue to get kicked in the pants and then dragged through the mud by soybean oil. Corn prices are being supported a bit by a lower European harvest and rumours that China will NOT remove their domestic price supports, which brings favour to more imports.

Wheat continues to be the biggest dog though as world production forecasts by most private and government operations are undermining prices. Compounding things is the broader commodity market in a slump.

On that note, the Pro Farmer U.S. Midwestern Crop Tour started up and ended without too much fanfare as the scouts confirmed what we already thought: the western cornbelt (Iowa, Nebraska, etc.) is looking pretty decent while the eastern half (Ohio, Indiana, etc.) isn’t showing much promise. Generally, U.S. crops are starting to more promise than expected and Western Canadian earliest harvested fields are running decent numbers. With this in mind, grain prices continue to slide lower as Minneapolis wheat and soybeans are sitting near 2010 lows, and compounding things is the oil market now sitting near a six-year low, with some analysts even suggesting WTI crude could fall to $30/ barrel (again, will we see that reflected at the pump!?!).

StatsCan came out with their July survey results of Canadian production estimates and most numbers came in below expectations. Total Canadian wheat production was pegged at 24.6 million tonnes, a 16% drop from 2014 and 13.7% below the average output of the last five years. Going into the report, estimates for canola production ranged from 12.5 to 14.5 million tonnes, but the actual number from StatsCan came in at 13.3 million (-14% from 2014, -11% from 5-year average). Other big production declines include chickpeas (-30%, -35%), mustard (-45%, -30%), peas (-15%, -10%), durum (-14%, -5%), and winter wheat (-24%, -33%). On the flip side, barley production is up almost 3% from last year to 7.3 million tonnes (still -11% from 5-year average though) while oats and rye production are up 14% and 18% respectively from 2014. Rounding out the pulse crops, lentil production is seen 5% higher than last year and 12% higher than the five-year average.

While question marks are still raging in the major row crops, there were opportunities to make sales at elevated prices, specifically in canola and soybeans, as we correctly pointed out in July. On that note, good sale opportunities are being capitalized on in the pulse crops right on the FarmLead Marketplace, while cereals and other oilseeds should get looked to sold later. I’m getting a lot of calls around when will prices rebound again in cereals and oilseeds and the answer is I don’t know. What I do know is that everyone has slumps – professional athletes and markets alike.

These new lows are mostly secular in my opinion and we should see some rallying opportunities into the winter months. Knowing your cashflow needs from now til the end of February is what I’ll challenge you to focus on.

Farm Equipment Safety on the Road, Everyone’s Role Continued from page 2

• Lock brake pedals together for road travel, as sudden braking on one wheel can cause a tractor to skid and lose control.

• Check all towed equipment to make sure it is properly secured and balanced along with having proper lighting and reflective equipment.

It should also be towed by equipment that is able to tow it adequately and stop it under control.

• Whenever feasible take steps to make equipment as “traffic friendly” as possible. Combines

with wide heads are very difficult to see around and/or pass. Putting the head on a trailer creates fewer problems for other vehicles to safely pass.

• Traveling at appropriate speeds will allow you to maintain control at all times.

• Make sure all employees who may be operating farm equipment on public roadways are trained adequately and are aware of the rules of the road. Stay alert of all hazards on the road such as soft or

steep shoulders, bridges, ruts, narrow roadways, potholes or objects on the path of travel. When cars are lined up behind you, and there is a suitable shoulder or approach please pull over and let the traffic pass.

Lastly, whether you are an agricultural producer or a motorist traveling on roadways, remember we must all obey the traffic rules, which includes no texting and appropriate use of cell phones. Courtesy and patience are key to safety on the road.

helping to increase visibility. In regards to lighting and raversing roadways with farm equipment keep the following in mind: • Tractors or other farm equipment that is operated on roadways must be equipped with lights if operated on roads at night or when there are conditions of reduced visibility.

• Use your flashing amber lights to increase motorist awareness when entering the roadway, but turn your rear spotlights off, as they are often mistaken for headlights.

• Putting flashing amber lights on older equipment that may not have lights will help signal motorist attention. Temporary magnetic lighting is available for older farm equipment. The key is keeping the battery charged and working.

• Try to avoid major roadways during high traffic periods, rush hour, bad weather or at night if possible.

• If it is necessary to travel long distances on the roadways, consider using pilot cars in front and behind of the farm equipment, especially at night. Make sure pilot cars use their flashing lights or hang a bright flag in the window.

• Installation of mirrors on equipment will help you view motorists around you.

14 The Northern Horizon, August 28, 2015

When you make a promise keep it Have you ever broken a promise? Do you break promises all the time? When you say you’re going to do something but don’t, is that breaking a promise? Do you rarely make a promise because you know they can be hard to keep? Do you only say you’re going to do something or make a promise then when will you keep it? If you don’t use the word “promise” in the sentence, is it still a promise? What does it feel like when someone makes a promise to you and then breaks it? Do you promise this, that and the other thing because it seems to help in the moment?

When you make a promise, do you do everything in your power to make it come true, no matter how difficult the situation might have changed for you?

I don’t think man nor beast likes to be promised anything unless they are going to get it. Don’t even mention it then if it happens, it can be a nice or not nice surprise. Some promises are easy to keep. I promise to drive you to town. I promise to mow the lawn. I promise to always do the right thing when I’m with my horse.

Now the last one is a challenge to say the least. It would be a very noble and amazing feat to keep that promise.

I don’t think its possible to always do the right thing. You have to know what the right thing is for every horse in every moment then have the skill to get it done.

I do, however, believe that we can become much better at doing the right thing and improve ourselves each day. I also believe that with self-discipline, knowledge and skill we can do the right thing most of the time but we are going to make some mistakes once in awhile.

I work at keeping three promises when I work with my horses: 1) building their confidence; 2) earning their respect; and 3) doing things in a manner they understand. That might sound straightforward but there is so much that goes into keeping those promises. Every time I’m with a horse I ask myself if I’m keeping one or more of those three promises and helping the horse. In order to help, I have to correctly read what is going on with the

r001949948

horse. I have to know why is he doing or not doing something before I can possibly know how to help. If I read the “why” incorrectly then I don’t know whether he needs help with his confidence, respect or understanding. If I guess the “why” correctly, I now have a chance to be able to have the feel, timing and exercises that will help the situation.

If a horse is hard to catch, I will hear people say they chased him into a round pen using their quad or some other way then round penned him. Then they say he is still hard to catch even in the round pen. Hmmm, I wonder why? What does round penned it mean anyway? I have a round pen but it’s never been used to get a horse want to be caught. Why doesn’t he want to be caught is the question. The answer is he doesn’t like people or maybe, more to the point, it’s just that person he doesn’t like. The cure is to be the person that horses like. Chasing them around doesn’t make them like us. If you would like to have more friends don’t chase them into a round pen with your quad and then chase them some more around the pen.

If a horse goes into a trailer, it doesn’t necessarily mean their ready to even have the door closed behind them let alone be hauled anywhere. We need to read what the horse is saying and work towards build his confidence, respect and understanding.

We personally have to have confidence, respect and understanding to be able to help the horse with theirs. If your horse pulls back when tied or when you are handling him, you have to answer the “why” first. Remember, it is the release that teaches the horse. So, do you release for the wrong things at the wrong time making or teaching by accident the very things you don’t want? When you ask your horse forward on a line and his head goes up, or when you get to the trailer and he pulls you across the yard or rears up, do you usually release all pressure from the horse making it comfortable for him to do the wrong thing? Instead, you

should make the wrong thing uncomfortable and the right thing comfortable. If I had a dollar for every time I have seen people release the pressure and make the wrong thing easy for the horse, I would have a nice place in Costa Rica on the beach. If I read the situation incorrectly and/or release for the wrong things at the wrong time, and I do it regularly, I’m promising through consistency to my horse, he can keep doing what it is he’s doing, and I will make it comfortable for him to continue doing it. Whatever we do consistently with a horse is our way of promising them everything is okay. They don’t speak English, so our way of doing things becomes our promise to the horse.

If we change for a better way, we need to keep the new promise for a while, maybe a long while, before they will trust in the new promise. If we slip back to the old way and release for the wrong thing, or read the situation incorrectly, or trailer them when they are not prepared then we lose what we were gaining. Therefore,

we would be causing them to be less confident, respectful and understanding.

Make some good promises to your horse.

Keep those promises as much as you possibly know how and then be ready to be amazed at the horse that shows up.

Getting down the trail.

By Dr. Tegan Alce Dermatology, or the study of the skin, may sound like an incredibly boring subject. However, the health of the skin is very important to the overall health of any animal. Skin forms the largest endocrine organ of the body and, like every other organ, poor skin health often impacts health and quality of life with horses being no exception to this rule!

For a veterinarian, getting a thorough history of the duration, onset, progression, and symptoms may narrow a list of hundreds of possible causes to a handful of possibilities. Therefore, keeping close track of any skin issue is very important. Seeking veterinary help soon after noticing an issue will generally hasten the treatment and improve the outcome. It is important to inspect your horse’s skin and coat regularly to determine if there are any problems to report, and keep track of any changes from normal.

Dermatology can be frustrating for both owners and veterinarians. Many skin diseases or disorders can appear identical, but have completely different causes and treatments. Fortunately, there are lots of different testing options to get to the bottom of skin problems.

During a dermatological exam, your veterinarian will collect a history from you and then examine your horse’s entire body. They will then make recommendations for testing to help confirm their diagnosis.

Common testing includes collecting samples of the skin and hair with tape, a skin scraping, impression smears, or fine needle aspirates. The samples that are collected are typically viewed under a microscope to help figure out the cause of the problem. Sometimes skin cultures, biopsies, and bloodwork may be recommended as well. A specialist can also perform intradermal skin testing; the same kind of allergy tests used in people. Sometimes, samples are sent to trained professionals (histologists) who interpret cellular samples for a living and can provide a firm diagnosis.

Skin infections are commonly seen in horses, caused by bacteria, fungus, parasites, or yeast. Atopy, also known as allergies, has many different causes.

There are many forms of lumps and bumps including abscesses, hematomas, warts, hives (or ‘protein bumps’) as well as non-cancerous and cancerous masses. Below we will briefly discuss a few more of the issues we see on a routine basis.

Lice Horses can harbor two species of lice. They are the horse biting louse (Damalinia equi) and the horse sucking louse (Haematopinus asini). Afflicted horses will show signs of itching by constantly rubbing and biting at affected areas. Lice are most often found in unthrifty horses kept in unsanitary conditions. With severe infestations horses can lose patches of hair.

Infestations occur more commonly during the winter when hair coats are long.

Mange Mange is a contagious skin disease caused by one of several species of mites. This disease is transmitted when larvae, nymphs, or fertilized females are trans-

ferred to a susceptible host. Mange can be transmitted directly from horse to horse, indirectly through contaminated objects that harbor the mites or through contaminated stabling quarters. Mange causes intense irritation to the skin as well as loss of hair and itching.

In severe cases this can lead to debilitation and in drastic cases it may even cause death.

Photosensitization Photosensitization is a condition in which lightly pigmented skin is hyper-reactive to sunlight due to a photodynamic agent in the skin. Horses with pink noses are good candidates for the affliction. Those affected will show discomfort and seek to scratch or rub the affected area. A reddening of the skin will develop rapidly and can be followed by swelling and later scab formation. The months of June, July and August pose the greatest danger to photosensitive horses. Afflicted horses should be kept under cover such as in a barn during the day and allowed to graze in the evening hours.

Rain Rot Another form of dermatitis that can affect horses is dermatophilosis, more commonly is known as rain rot or rain scald. This troublesome bacterial infection is most common in wet, humid climates. The bacteria that cause rain rot can live in dormancy within the skin for some time and become active when the skin is compromised in some way such as prolonged wetting by rain, high humidity, high temperature or attacks by biting insects. When the infective zoospores reach a skin site where the normal protective barriers of the skin are reduced or deficient, they set up shop and infection is the result. Horse owners with animals who spend most of their time outdoors in the wet, rainy season should examine their horses periodically for rain rot. A hands-on examination is most effective. The infected horse with usually have a series of bumps along the back and croup. When rubbed, the “bumps” might come free in the form of scabs with a small hairless spot of skin showing. Your veterinarian will be able to make a confirmed diagnosis by taking a culture and testing it in a laboratory.

Ringworm Ringworm is a form of dermatitis that can look like a circle or a ring skin blemish, yet there are no worms or parasites involved. Instead, it is caused by a fungus. This fungus has many types and horses are susceptible to a number of them. A ringworm infection can be spread directly from horse to horse and by using common grooming tools, saddle pads, harnesses and saddles. Humans can also spread ringworm to horses and vice versa. Horses that are most susceptible are the very young, very old, or animals whose immune systems have been compromised. Ringworm is common during the fall and winter but can crop up at any time.

Saddle Sores or Galls The areas of skin under the saddle on riding horses and on the shoulder area of driving horses are frequently the sites of skin and soft tissue injury.

Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic Tuesday, Sept 22, 2015 Tickets $10 Includes Dinner

Saddle sores are usually caused from ill-fitting tack or occasionally dirty saddle pads. The condition starts as an acute inflammation of the hair follicles and progresses to a pus-producing condition. These areas will have hair loss and possibly be hot, swollen and painful. Clinical signs vary, depending on the depth of the injury as well as complications from secondary infections. Advanced lesions are termed “galls” and in severe cases abscesses can develop.

Scratches Greasy heel, mud fever, cracked-heels, white pastern disease and dew poisoning are a number of names that horse people call scratches. The affliction usually begins with a softening of the skin behind the fetlock and the heel. It often occurs on a horse which is residing in a wet, muddy or marshy area. As the condition progresses, the affected body part is invaded by tiny mites. They feed on the epidermal debris and cause irritation to the afflicted area. The next stage can be a form of staph infection followed by a fungal invasion.

This results in inflammation that is accompanied by crusty, scabby bumps or lesions.

If you have any questions about your horse’s skin issues, please feel free to contact the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic. We are happy to answer your questions or book an appointment to investigate the skin issue further. If you want to learn more about equine dermatology, please come to the equine seminar this fall. There will be a speaker overviewing equine dermatology in further depth. www.dcvet.ca

Using canola as cattle feed agri-news august 24, 2015

“The quality of canola for cattle feed is the best when it is at the full bloom to early pod stage,” says Barry Yaremcio, beef/forage specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Stettler. “Basically, these late maturing crops we’re seeing right now are ready to go for silage or greenfeed.”

Yaremcio says since the nutrients are in the leaves and flowers, it’s important to treat the canola gently so as not to lose that part of the plant. “Canola in that late flowering- early pod stage has around 14-16 per cent protein and 60-63 per cent total digestible nutrients (TDN). Nutritionally, I would treat it the same as a good or high quality first cut alfalfa hay.”

Dry canola also does well in a bale.

“If you want to put it into a silage pit or a round bale, there is enough soluble sugar in the leaves and flowers

Using pea straw in cattle rations agri-news august 17, 2015

With a shortage of feed supplies for cattle this summer, many farmers are looking at their options, one of which is pea straw in cattle rations. Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist at the Ag-Info Centre, says with the pea harvest underway, now is the time to think about using pea straw in those rations.

“Pea straw is excellent filler in a pregnant cow ration.

It has reasonably good quality, two to three percent more protein on a pound-for-pound basis than barley or oat straw, and roughly the same amount of energy.

Cows like to eat it, and it’s a good replacement for the more expensive hay.”

Yaremcio says to get baling a soon as possible. “Pea straw tends to be fairly fluffy when it comes out behind the combine, but quickly settles. If the straw lies on the ground too long, you could end up picking up dirt and getting it into the bale as well. That means if the soil is moist, you could get white mould forming on the straw in the bale.”

Yaremcio says pea straw is more commonly used in a pregnant cow ration. “It can be 40-60 per cent of the ration, fed alongside 8-10 pounds of grain a day to that cow. Calcium and magnesium levels in pea straw are a lot higher than in the other cereal straws so there are less supplementation problems, but feed tests are still critical. You should include a neutral detergent fibre test in the analysis to determine maximum feed intake.”

Yaremcio says there is no problem with animals consuming a pea crop that has been treated with Reglone or glyphosate, as both are safe. “And, as far as yields are concerned, what we’re hearing is that pea straw yields this year are anywhere from one-third to threequarters of a tonne per acre, which should result roughly in one-half to three-quarters of a bale per acre.”

to get a good fermentation so that the product keeps well. And, cows like the taste of canola. I’ve even seen cows leave an alfalfa grass hay bale in favour of a bale of canola greenfeed.”

Yaremcio adds it’s important to have the feed tested before using it.

“Canola crops are often well fertilized and it’s always possible there may be nitrates. And, if the plants are beyond the flowering-early pod stage there can be potentially be excess sulphur in the plant. If the sulphur is above 0.4 per cent you could run into a problem with polio. Key is to make sure you test the feed and make sure it is safe.”

Rancher's Return Lite agri-news august 17, 2015

r001948238

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) has a new tool to help ranchers with their economic decisions.

“Rancher’s Return Lite (http://tinyurl.com/ncdml3j) is an Excel spreadsheet tool that will assist producers in calculating their own feed costs, variable costs and enterprise profitability” says Bruce Viney, business development – risk, AF, Olds.

“The production cost and profitability estimates calculated in this program will give ranchers a base for comparing the financial impacts of changing commodity prices and alternative production systems. Cowcalf, cattle feeding and grazing enterprise profitability numbers can each be easily calculated using the producer’s expectations for commodity and cattle selling prices. With this tool, meaningful results can usually be obtained after just a few minutes work.”

Rancher’s Return Lite quickly calculates cow-calf enterprise feed and input costs based on the user’s own feeding systems and production practices. Users can then play around with different feed rations and commodity price scenarios to help minimize their winter feeding costs. The program uses the producers operating and capital cost estimates to generate detailed results for total cash costs as well as non-cash costs like depreciation. In addition to the all-important feed costs, key outputs from the program are: total gross margin gross margin per head total returns to equity and management total return to equity and management per head breakeven selling prices “Calculating your breakeven selling prices and expected financial return is a good first step in assessing

the decision expand or downsize the herd,” says Viney.

“Using the breakeven prices in conjunction with the cattle feeding breakeven calculator can also give producers some good initial information to evaluate the potential for further retained ownership of the calves.”

Viney recommends that ranchers use a ration balancing program such as CowBytes to generate several feasible rations and feeding scenarios from which to base the Ranchers Return analysis. Once variable and fixed cost estimates are made, costs and returns can be compared using alternative feeding systems simply by copying the rations into the worksheet. Doing some sensitivity analysis in the spreadsheet will help producers identify potential areas where costs can reduced and net returns can be improved. The spreadsheet gives producers a quick system to assess enterprise profitability given the different cost structures at the cow-calf level, backgrounding and grazing stages of production.

Most of all, says Viney, Ranchers Return Lite helps producers make the big decisions like: should I get out of cows? should I buy more cows? where should I concentrate my efforts to improve profitability?

NEW ATE! D “The Rancher’s Return Lite program will assist users in converting their own past experiences into numbers to support their future management decisions.”

The Ranchers Return Lite program is available as a free download from Alberta Agriculture’s website.

CowBytes is also available from the same site for $50.

Alberta’s Cattle Herd agri-news august 24, 2015

An Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) analyst says that expansion of Alberta’s cattle herd needs a little help from Mother Nature.

“On the beef cattle side, prices remain near record highs,” says Jason Wood, provincial livestock market analyst, AF, Edmonton. “On the export front, year to date feeders are down 1%, slaughter fed cattle are down 49.5%, and slaughter cows are down 28% to the U.S. We’re still seeing a strong pull for feeders to the U.S. partly because of the large expansion effort that continues in the U.S. beef herd. For July 1, the USDA says the beef herd is up 2.5% and that heifer retention is up 7%

over July 2014. These are strong numbers and the largest U.S. expansion in 25 years.”

Wood says Statistics Canada will be releasing their cattle inventory report in the next couple of weeks.

“There is some talk that heifers are being held back in Alberta and we’re seeing that exports are down for cows. Prices are expected to remain steady at near-record highs. The pieces are all in place for expansion, and if we can get the change in weather we’re looking for, we could see the cattle herd start to expand in 2016.”

Federal Livestock Tax Referral. “This .pdf contains an overview of the program as well as some frequently asked questions and answers,” says Dehod. “It also explains how the deferral is calculated and includes an example.”

Another document on Alberta Agriculture’s webpage, entitled the Understanding the Federal Tax Deferral - Advisors Guide, can also be a big help, says Dehod.

“This guide offers details for farmers and their professional advisors when calculating the deferral available and in formulating the best strategy when dealing with a drought induced herd reduction. It includes information on topics like treating the deferral under Agri-Stability, corporations and deferral, dollar value of cattle sales, and defining a breeding herd.”

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry has a pair of resources available to help producers with the federal livestock tax referral.

“Agriculture Canada recently released a list of designated regions on the prairies where tax deferrals have been authorized for 2015,” says Rick Dehod, farm financial specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Edmonton.

“The designation allows livestock producers in prescribed regions who are facing feed shortages to defer a portion of their 2015 sale proceeds of breeding livestock for one year in order to help replenish that stock in the following year. Proceeds from deferred sales are then included as part of the producer’s income in the next tax year, when those proceeds may be at least partially offset by the cost of replacing their breeding animals.”

To help navigate the process, the Alberta Ag-Info Centre has a .pdf available entitled Understanding the

Wearable technology helps keep cows healthy farm credity canada august 7, 2015

Mon, 08/03/2015 Inside Science News Service, Brian Owens Wearable fitness monitors are all the rage among humans right now, but they are also spreading among farm animals. Researchers hope the devices can help keep herds of beef cows healthy.

Karin Orsel, a veterinary epidemiologist at the University of Calgary in Canada is testing how accelerometers – the same devices inside fitness monitors that measure a person’s activity level – can be used to detect disease in beef cattle before it becomes obvious to ranchers.

Farms have a long tradition of taking advantage of cutting-edge tech. Robotic milkers, computer-controlled food bunkers and accelerometer-equipped ear tags have become common on dairy farms, helping farmers track the health of their herds and detect illness or pregnancy early.

But beef cattle operations have so far been slow to take up technology in comparison to dairy farms, a lag partly because of logistics. The average dairy herd might have a couple of hundred animals, but a beef feedlot will generally have tens of thousands of cows – making the adoption of a new technology a much more expensive proposition.

Physiological differences between beef and dairy cattle also complicate matters, since “beef and dairy cattle are very different in their feed, housing and genetics,” said Orsel.

Karen Beauchemin, a researcher with Agriculture

and Agri-Food Canada in Lethbridge, Alberta, tested on beef cattle acoustic collars that have been used in dairy cows to monitor the chewing of cud, material that is regurgitated from a cow’s stomach as part of its digestion process. The collars were not especially useful for beef cows because the acoustic sensors couldn’t hear through the thick neck muscles. “The neck is very different in beef animals,” she said.

“There is a lot more bulk there.”

These challenges make it all the harder to transfer technology from the dairy industry to the beef industry. But the ability to spot disease early is a real benefit for both industries, allowing sickness to be treated earlier. “By the time the cows show clinical signs of disease, it’s quite late in the disease process, up to seven days after infection,” Orsel said.

Orsel and her colleagues attached accelerometers to the identification tags in the ears of 18 cows and used the information it collected about how the cows’ ears moved to identify how much time the cows spent eating, chewing their cud, resting and moving around.

The accelerometer-equipped tags are made by a Dutch company, Agis Automatisering, which has also developed an algorithm that interprets the movements into specific behaviors. Spotting changes in activity, especially in how much time is spent eating and chewing cud, could help identify illnesses like bovine respiratory disease, the most common and costly disease affecting the beef industry, she said.

When compared with observations by people, the ear tags could identify when a cow was eating feed with 95 percent accuracy, but were not useful for iden-

tifying cud chewing – getting it right just 49 percent of the time. Orsel had also hoped to test the tags’ ability to identify sickness, but too few cows got sick during the experiment to give a useful sample size. “That was unfortunate for us, but fortunate for the cows, I guess,” said Orsel, whose team published the result in the May issue of the Journal of Animal Science.

The experiment showed that such technology could potentially be useful in the future, but it isn’t yet ready for regular use in beef herds, said Orsel.

Joseph Stookey, who studies animal behavior at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, said the ability to quickly identify a few sick animals in a huge herd would be an advantage, but cautioned that algorithms lack the judgment of the human pen-riders who monitor the health of herds today and could lead to overuse of antibiotics. Some animals will get better without treatment, a decision that experienced pen-riders are used to making, he said. “It’s a fine art between the riders and the animals,” he said. “Computers can’t always do that.”

For now, he said, these technologies probably have more use as research tools than in the commercial beef industry, by allowing scientists to study larger groups of animals more efficiently. “If there is a place for them, the industry will figure it out,” he said.

Both Orsel and Beauchemin say that despite the uneven record so far, wearable and remote-sensing technology will be a big part of beef cattle farming in the future. “We’re not at that point yet, but we could be soon,” said Beauchemin.

Agriterra moves into to new facility Tyler Bodnaruk and his staff at Agriterra Equipment used the August 7th weekend to make the move from their old home on 132nd Avenue in Grande Prairie to their new home at the intersection of Emerson Drive and Range Road 62 outside of Sexsmith.

Still under construction and completion, the new Agriterra building sits on a soon-to-be fenced 8 acre lot which is just more than twice the size of their previous yard.

The new 24,000 square foot building boasts a 15,000 square foot shop with a recently installed 5-ton move-

able crane. The parts and service department has a spacious 6,000 square foot area over two floors to stretch their legs out over while also taking advantage of a bright new showroom.

Tyler invites clients old and new to make the short drive up Highway

2 and have a look at the new facility and their expanded lineup of Massey Ferguson, Challenger, Gleaner, RoGator and TerraGator equipment.

said. “We’ve really been trying to get a lot of the older things that happened in the past involved this year because it’s the 75th anniversary of this fair.”

While it’s not the only fall fair to happen in the Peace Region, it’s different from these others by actively trying to promote rural work.

“The big fair in Dawson Creek, there’s less participation in horticulture and home baking and those things because they concentrate on the rodeo, and we’re trying to promote the rural way of life,” she said.

For Ash, it was important to keep traditions alive in an area that wasn’t as rural as it once was.

“We still need agriculture to grow what we eat,” she said.

The Kiskatinaw Fall Fair celebrated its 75th anniversary this past weekend.

The rural fair was held on its fairgrounds in Sunset Prairie, and dozens of participants and attendees took to celebrate the farming lifestyle.

Linda Ash, the Kiskatinaw Fall Fair Association’s vice-president, said she was very proud to see this happen for 75 years.

While the event has taken place place at three different locations over the course of its history, the fair eventually settled into Sunset Prairie 50 years ago. With the exception of a rainout in 2013, it has continued on ever since.

“Our motto is to share what you know and show what you grow,” she

The Northern Horizon, August 28, 2015 “We need the things that happen in the area," Ash said.

The events ranged from contests to see who had the best chicken, an openair Sunday church service, and halter classes.

Horse events also made up of the show.

One rider, 17-year-old Orrin Roessler, could be seen Saturday riding two logs tethered to horses with rusty chains.

He seemed to handle himself well, with a keen grip despite the tape covering his camouflaged hiking boots.

As Roessler explains it, the way he rode was similar to the methods used to carry out trees out of the bush. In the Kiskatinaw competition, pylons represented trees and other boundary lines.

“Some people like going golfing or paintballing; I like working with my horses,” he said.

“It’s my hobby.”

Charlene Lineham has been attending the fair for 29 years.

It’s been a family tradition, as her grandchildren entered their bottle lambs into competition this year, to be judged on how good they were for meat, how deep their loins were, and more.

“It’s just a good family function, and not big crowds of people,” Lineham said.

“A lot of people don’t realize the work that goes behind ranching and farming.”

John Deere Precision Ag Product Updates John Deere News, Aug 24, 2015 OLATHE, Kansas – John Deere announces new precision ag products, including John Deere Harvest Mobile and John Deere Field Connect with a Gateway 3G upgrade and Wireless Radio Kit. “These newest updates to our ISG products provide our customers with more functionality and service, resulting in higher levels of machine performance and decision-making in the field,” says Diana Reed with John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group (ISG). “We introduced John Deere Harvest Mobile – a performance and information enhancing system – and improved serviceability to Field Connect with 3G modems and the Wireless Radio option.”

John Deere Harvest Mobile John Deere Harvest Mobile is an easy-to-use tool that optimizes machine functions to improve grain harvesting operations. It also features data collection and transfer to help operators make timely decisions with a simple, usable interface that makes harvest information easily available to operators and trusted advisors.

“Harvest Mobile integrates with a customer’s equipment and technology, making the transition simple and easy,” says Reed. “Plus, the Interactive Combine Adjustment (ICA) function displayed in Harvest Mobile optimizes combine performance by guiding users to make adjustments when necessary.”

Harvest Mobile features data collection and transfer to help operators make timely decisions with harvest information.

“The Wireless Radio Kits allow producers to add up to eight radios to be used as field nodes for each gateway to provide more detailed field information,” adds Reed. “Customers can use the kits to optimize the number of nodes within one mile of the gateway, and can connect up to eight nodes per gateway with 3G coverage.”

The wireless option is compatible with existing Field Connect Gateway systems, soil moisture probes and environmental sensors, and will be available to order starting August 31

Enns Brothers acquires western Manitoba Deere Dealer RealAgriculture News Team August 18, 2015 Ag Business, Machinery, News, Western Canada Manitoba’s largest John Deere dealer is expanding its presence in the southwest corner of the province.

Enns Brothers Ltd. and D.B. Murray announced a purchase agreement today that will see Enns Brothers Ltd. acquire 100 percent of the operating assets of D.B. Murray Ltd in Melita.

“After 37 years for D.B. Murray Ltd. and over 100 years for the Murray family in business in the southwest corner, we are excited to be moving forward as part of the Enns Brothers operation,” said Dwayne Murray, president and general manager of D.B. Murray Ltd. “This agreement will allow us to continue to provide our customers with the service and support that built D.B. Murray Ltd. and provide opportunities to grow with Enns Brothers. I would like thank our customers and employees for all the years of loyalty, and look forward to the opportunities this new venture provides.”

The Murray name has a long history in machinery sales in southwest Manitoba and southeast Saskatchewan, going back to start of Murray Machinery in the early 1900s in Lyleton by Andrew Baird Murray.

In 1928, his son Ted Murray opened a dealership in Deloraine and in 1933, Robert Murray opened a location in Melita. In 1954, Robert Murray sold the Melita operation to his son Alan Bernard (Bernie) Murray, who sold Massey Ferguson, Volkswagen and Chrysler brands. In 1978, Bernie Murray sold the Massey Ferguson dealership to Dwayne Murray.

Both Dwayne and his son Ryan Murray will continue to play key roles in the new organization, according to a news release from both companies.

Enns Brothers has eight other locations in southern Manitoba and over 350 employees.

The deal is expected to close on October 31, 2015.

Michael Allen Duff

GENDER REASSIGNMENT COMPLETED 1987 Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual & Transgender Month Also known as Gay Pride Month is almost over.

So what does the LGBT community and it’s celebrations have to do with motorcycling in Canada?

The recent publicity surrounding Bruce Jenner and his becoming Caitlyn has drawn much fire from society in North America as most people today just simply don’t see what Bruce, now Caitlyn has done as news.

That is the acceptance factor of today. It’s no big deal.

But imagine being a Grand Prix Motorcycle Racer and struggling with your identity in the 1950’s.

Canada has had some rather famous people, who are transgender, come out of the closet so to speak.

Jamie Lee Hamilton - a Vancouver politician, aboriginal people’s advocate and an advocate for sex trade workers. Born in 1955 as James Arthur Hamilton, her parents were both political activists.

In 1970 she was the first youth to be treated in Canada for gender identity disorder.

Jenna Talackova - born in 1988, raised in Vancouver, she began gender transition at 14 years of age. She completed her sex reassignment surgery at 19. She is best known for her role in the 2012 Miss Universe Canada Pageant when the Canadian pageant committee attempted to disqualify her. However, Donald Trump’s office issued a statement reversing the Canadian organizers decision. She placed in the top 12 of the pageant.

Alec Butler - born in 1950 as Audrey Bulter, this Cape Breton native is an award winning playwright and filmmaker.

Aaron H. Devor - born in 1951 as Holly, Aaron is an internationally respected expert on gender, sex and sexuality who teaches at the University of Victoria in BC. But did you know that before most of these people were born, before they declared that they were born in the wrong body and decided to do something about it, that a Canadian motorcyclist had also done the same thing?

In fact, this motorcyclist is one of the very first persons in Canada to have their gender reassigned.

The first Canadian person whose documentation

is complete and verified was Dianna (Clifford) Boileau in 1969, her reassignment was completed in 1970.

Born Michael Alan Duff in 1939, the Toronto native married twice and had two boys and a girl.

In 1984 Michael became Michelle and her gender reassignment was completed in 1987.

Michelle went on to become an author of young adult title books, is a children’s writer and a photographer.

Michelle - Michael Duff had an incredible racing career, one that spanned 14 years from 1955 to 1969.

Hers is a fascinating story, one filled with exotic motorcycles on exotic tracks surrounded by equally exotic people.

At 13 she caught the bug for riding by sneaking her brother’s motorcycle out of the garage.

By 15 she was racing competitively.

In 1964 she won the Belgian Grand Prix becoming the first North American to win a World Championship Grand Prix and the first rider to lap the Spa race

42 The Northern Horizon, August 28, 2015

PILOTS RETRACE WARTIME JOURNEY When a two-seat T-6G Texan fighter plane rumbled onto the runway at the Dawson Creek airport Wednesday, it was like a homecoming.

Seventy years ago, the planes would have been a common sight in Dawson Creek, then a de facto military camp at the start of the Alaska Highway.

In the cockpit Wednesday were Craig Lang and Jeff Geer, two Americans who have taken a trip on their respective bucket lists and turned it into a multinational documentary project aimed at telling one of the untold stories of the Second World War. Along with a support plane and a

team of Russians in a C-47 transport, Lang and Geer are flying the route followed by the 7th Ferrying Squadron, the

American pilots tasked with transporting planes to the Soviet Union to fight Hitler.

“More than 8,000 planes were flown to Fairbanks where the Soviets were waiting on the ground,” said Lang, who

The Northern Horizon, August 28, 2015 has been sitting copilot since the team took off earlier this month.

“We’d hand the keys to them, they’d paint the Red Star on the side and they’d fly them the rest of the 3,000 miles to Krasnoyarsk.”

If a Soviet flyer destroyed a tank or a plane, Dawson Creek played a small role.

From there, Soviet pilots would train on the Texan before eventually flying west in a fighter or bomber to fight Nazi invaders. If a Soviet flyer destroyed a tank or a plane, Dawson Creek played a small role.

On Wednesday, Lang and Geer land-

ed in Dawson Creek, a trip eight years in the making.

Geer has been flying warbirds since 2004, and flying a biplane from Nome, Alaska, to Russia had been one of his dreams. When examining route charts between the Lower 48 and Alaska, he discovered that the trip had been done before. “[Geer] came back to me and he said ‘I found the Lend-Lease route,’” said Lang. “I said ‘what in the world is a Lend-Lease route?’”

The route, named for the Lend-Lease program that provided both Russia and Britain with U.S. war material, follows a “trench” parallel to the west coast beginning in Great Falls, Montana.

“So we started discovering how they did it. It was like peeling away an onion skin because there was so much forgotten history,” said Lang.

He and Geer eventually formed a

non-profit, Bravo 369, in reference to the first air route between the United States and Russia following the Cold War. They’ve since planned a documentary, Warplanes to Siberia, and have been charting their progress on social media.

Geer and Lang set out from Washington State in the Texan, stopping in Great Falls where they were seen off by veterans of the 7th Squadron and the Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Working with the Russians has been a good experience, Lang said, despite tensions between the two governments over Russian aggression in Ukraine. He said both Americans and Russians have largely forgotten the “logistical feat” that helped defeat Nazi Germany.

“At the end of the war, Stalin said, ‘if

43

you even mentioned we were helped by the Americans, that’s the end of you,’” Lang said.

“The United States was just so glad to be done with the war that we forgot about it. We thought this would be a great way to introduce young people to this story, and maybe in some small way improve US-Canadian-Russian relations,” said Lang.

In Fairbanks, Bravo 369 will hand off to Russian pilots, who will complete the journey. In between, they’ve stopped at the Peace Region airfields built to relieve squadrons making their way to Russia.

On Thursday morning, they were back in the air bound for Fort Nelson.

Debbie Demare, director of Squamish-Lilloett Regional District Area A, said residents hoped the Bradian project would be a major investment in the Bridge River Valley that would trigger other economic development.

“I think everybody would say we’re

hopeful. We hope whoever buys it would work with our community, and we’re definitely open to development of a backcountry tourism operation.”

But because of an excess of applicants, the provincial government put a hold on new applications this spring and has since modified the qualifications.

Mills said he’s now looking for a new group interested in restoring the site and turning it into a destination for backcountry recreation.

The group is asking $1.2 million for Bradian.

The town, between Lillooet and Whistler, was built in the 1930s during a gold boom, but it was abandoned in 1971 when the nearby mines shut down.

The ghost town has 22 buildings, including houses, on a single 50-acre plot that still has basic infrastructure such as fire hydrants, hydro power and telephone lines.

r001923053

Seven months after a group of Chinese investors bought Bradian, the For Sale sign has gone up again on the Bridge River Valley ghost town.

The realtor representing the investors says his clients are selling it because of changes in B.C. immigration rules.

The China Zhong Ya Group Hebei Canada-China Co. bought the 50-acre townsite for just under $1 million last year. Bradian Project spokesman Mike Mills said it was planning on bringing more investors on board through the Provincial Nominee Program.

The program allowed people to immigrate to B.C. if they invested enough money in a business that could create jobs.Mills said the plan was to have immigrants start various businesses.

Many livestock producers are facing higher prices for feed heading into winter. An Alberta Agriculture and Forestry analyst says while prices are down from highs in July, prices overall are higher than they were a year ago.

“From July to August we’ve seen barley and wheat prices fall about eight per cent in southern Alberta,” says Jason Wood, provincial livestock market analyst, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Edmonton. “Oats are down 3%, peas are down 4% and canola meal is down 1%.”

Wood says, despite the declines, prices are up from a year ago. “For instance, feed barley is about 24% higher than last summer and wheat is 20% higher. However, peas and oats are only about 2% higher.”

In terms of July hay prices, Wood says they were a bit of surprise.

“The data from the Alberta Average Farm Input Prices shows that the average Alberta 50 percent alfalfa hay price

went up 70% from June, and has more than doubled from a year ago. However, we may see prices soften a bit as we go into fall and potentially see more greenfeed come onto the market, and also as producers get a better idea what their winter feed
