Winner announced in Rotary Club’s Cash Jackpot 50-50 LOCAL GRADE 3 TEACHER TAKES HOME $175,000 AND THEN TAKES FAMILY TO DISNEYLAND May 24, 2015 (Grande Prairie) - The Rotary Club of Grande Prairie’s Dream Home Lottery also operates the Cash Jackpot 50-50 Lottery. Last weekend it sold out at the maximum $350,000 – winner takes half.

Organizers say it’s the largest 50-50 in the north.

The draw was held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 24th with Donlea Holman, a Grade 3 teacher at Derek Taylor School in Grande Prairie, announced as the winner. Donlea was spending the day at Muskoseepi Park when she heard the news and came to the Dream Home immediately. “We mentioned to the kids on the way here Disneyland and they seemed to think it was

a great idea!”

“It’s the largest 50-50 in the region and one heck of a nice prize for our winner” says Raffle Manager, Kevin Hilgers. “And half stays in the community”.

Proceeds go towards a Rotary Wellness Centre at the new hospital in Grande Prairie; a home away from home for relatives who have to travel to Grande Prairie to be by the sides of patients at the hospital.

PETERSON FARM BROS. ARE

“Takin’ Care of Livestock” May 26, 2015 (AGWEB.com) The Peterson Farm Bros. don’t just T.C.O.B. (Take Care of Business) they also T.C.O.L. (Take Care of Livestock).

A new parody of Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s rock-and-roll classic “Takin’ Care of Business” starts out with the family playing a concert for their cattle in the feedlot.

“We get up every morning at the rooster’s crowing in the country far from any city,” sings oldest brother Greg in the opening line.

The family enjoys being “self-employed,” “working overtime” and of course working outside.

“And we’ll be takin’ care of livestock, every day.

Takin’ care of livestock, pitchin’ hay. Takin’ care of livestock, they’re bovine,” the family sings.

The video includes images from farmers across the country who are “Takin’ Care of Livestock.”

This is the latest parody from the Peterson Farm Bros. with a set list that includes “Farmer Style”, “I’m Farming and I Grow It”, “Fresh Breath of Farm Air”, and “All I Do Is Farm”.

To see “Takin’ Care of Livestock” and other Peterson Bros parodies, go to https://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=tc1X0CMDDNY&feature=player_embedded

PEACE COUNTRY HISTORICAL FACTS Domestic animals were used in the Peace Country as early as 1809, when horses arrived in Dunvegan. Cattle were plentiful there in 1840. Both were used chiefly as beasts of burden.

However, records show that cattle were also milked and butter made, some of which was exported.

The Weather Focus

11:15 a.m. - May 29, 2015 Don Biegel

Most of the market is focused around rains – who’s getting it, who isn’t getting it, and how much is falling where. The southern Plains are sure getting a lot (Houston is flooding!) with more rain falling over the American Memorial Day long weekend than was forecasted (up to 10 inches in some areas!). This will likely have varying quality effects on the crops in the area as the extra moisture is challenging final crop development and an early harvest! On that note though, there’s speculation that anything lost in Oklahoma & Texas could be made up by Kansas where crop development is a little behind but there will be more feed wheat for the market to digest. Speaking of field activity, the U.S. Midwest will likely see some of that southern storm system but it’s mostly welcome, albeit for the last few fields of corn and soybeans that still need to be planted.

Back home across the border, AccuWeather is forecasting a warmer summer for the Canadian Prairies, especially southern Alberta where temperatures are forecasted to be 1-1.5 degrees Celsius above average. According to the forecast, the Prairies should see some of its hottest weather during the front half of July, versus the usual late July-early August timeframe. Conversely, precipitation in the western Prairies should be adequate thanks to thunderstorm activity but AccuWeather says Manitoba is looking drier. Back across the 49th parallel in the U.S., the N.O.A.A. is following other El Nino-predicting meteorologists in Japan and Australia, calling for normal temperatures but above-average precipitation in the U.S. Midwest, while the West Coast will continue to be dry. With that type of weather, it’s very possible that we see above trend yields for the cornbelt (AKA bearish), but any weather event would likely create one-off selling opportunities. Longrange forecasts are showing some drier conditions for major wheat growing regions in Australia, Canada, & Russia. Should good rains eventually fall in any of these regions, you can expect the market to remain bearish on wheat and any premium built in will get exhausted.

That being said, we’re hitting that time of year in the global production cycle where we know a fair amount about the wheat crop (except for quality).

Winter yields are fairly known after a few crop tours (albeit there’ll likely be some revisions after the past few weeks of rain in the US southern plains) while emergence of the spring crops are given us a pretty good idea of what the crop could look like. There is a lot of growing season yet to come and my thinking is that dry El Nino weather affecting the Pacific Rim region (read: Australia, Southeast Asia, & Argentina) is likely the biggest catalyst for any price swing.

Should you bet the farm on this happening? No. But expectations are for a bit of a sideways trade over the next few weeks in the markets as we figure out the damage from the rains on U.S. winter wheat crops and if rains continue to miss Eastern Europe and southern Canadian Prairies, and then we can focus our attention on El Nino.

noted this may not be a bad thing for barley.

“Here in St. Paul, the surface is dry making some guys worried about canola germinating evenly. Canola seeds shallow, as a result when we have dry sells, the top inch or so dries out then there’s no moisture in layer for germination,” said Leskiw. “Barley is seeded deeper so there is usually no germination issue.”

As Lenz explained, there are several factors that point to an increase in barley acres.

“More guys are putting barley acres in to capitalize on a shortage of malt barley in the market,” Lenz said. “Barley has also shown to work really well in the rotation. To mitigate likelihood of disease from the old canola/wheat, canola/wheat rotation, barley is now also being grown as an effective resistance measure.

While seeding is ahead of schedule, farmers across the province have one shared wish for June: rain, and lots of it.

“Moisture has been an issue, so our land was fully irrigated,” said Witdouck.

For farmers in the north, where irrigation is normally unneeded, they are praying for some rain.

“The land is very dry and we would love some rain. Despite these conditions, in our neck of the woods, seeding is about a week ahead of normal,” added Leskiw.

Looking ahead to the growing season, only time will tell if Mother Nature cooperates and gives farmers what they need, rain or shine.

May 27, 2015 - Patrick Whynot, Alberta Barley Commission With June just around the corner, farmers across the province are reporting similar results for the planting season.

They are ahead of schedule, and planting more barley.

While Mother Nature has shown some ups and downs to kick off the season, the consensus so far is that Alberta farmers are well positioned for a fruitful crop year.

Farms in the southern Alberta regions began seeding as early as the beginning of April.

“Our first field was seeded April 10, which is earlier than the last few years,” said Alberta Barley region one delegate Brian Witdouck.

Reports of an early seeding start have been echoed across the province.

Contrary to his conventional May 5 starting point, Alberta Barley’s vice chair Jason Lenz (who hails from the Bentley area) began seeding April 30 and expects spraying to be in full swing in three weeks.

“We were halted by a minor storm but seeding is finished, ahead of normal schedule, and the majority of farmers are wrapped up in central Alberta,” said Lenz.

Though the temperature has permitted early seeding, there has been somewhat of a dry spell here in Alberta. However, northern Alberta farmer and Alberta Barley region four delegate Charlie Leskiw

What effect do yields have on pulse markets?

the actual number could be higher still.

But if we use that acreage along with 5-year average yield (36.9 bu/acre) as the starting point, it would mean a 2015 crop of 3.74 million tonnes, roughly 200,000 tonnes more than last year. On the surface, that would mean comfortable supplies although export demand is expected to be strong.

If yields end up at the high end (44.3 bu/acre) of the past five years, it would mean a record 4.49 million tonne crop, 750,000 tonnes more than the average scenario. Suddenly supplies look a lot more comfortable or even burdensome.

If on the other hand, yields end up at only 32.3 bu/acre, the low end of the last five years, it would mean a crop of 3.27 million tonnes and suddenly supplies get very tight.

Looking at lentils, the same thing applies. Lentil acreage should hit a new record and the scenario with the 5-year average yield of 1,518 pounds per acre

would mean a crop of 2.25 million tonnes, also a new record. If yields managed to achieve 1,842 pounds per acre, the high point of the last five years, the crop would increase nearly 500,000 tonnes to 2.73 million tonnes. Even with strong export demand, that’s a lot of lentils. But if yields are compromised and drop to the 5-year low of 1,354 pounds per acre, the crop would be barely over 2.0 million tonnes and that would make supplies very tight in the face of heavy demand.

At this stage of the year with the crop barely out of the ground, it’s extremely risky to base the entire marketing strategy on high or low yields.

That’s why it’s good to have a balanced approach that includes some forward pricing while leaving some crop unpriced. At an individual farm level, a high or low yield will mean changes to the percent of the crop priced.

For both peas and lentils, overseas

export demand is expected to be very strong in 2015/16. That means the possible heaviness from high yields wouldn’t be quite as serious. At the same time, if yields end up on the low side, the market reaction could become severe. So there’s less danger of the market dropping hard due to a large crop and more upside potential if the Canadian crop is in trouble.

Just in case someone is getting ideas, it doesn’t help to try to manipulate the market by sandbagging the StatsCan surveyors either. For one thing, traders are generally skeptical of the StatsCan numbers to begin with. If the yield numbers look a little wonky, they’ll just disregard the survey results. Because of that, the StatsCan yield estimates have a very short-lived impact on prices. The “market” fairly quickly figures out how many peas or lentils are out there based on how easy/difficult it is to attract farmer selling. That becomes the real measure of yields and supplies.

May 26, 2015 - Communications Coordinator, Alberta Pulse Even before planting begins, market analysts (including us) spill a lot of ink about seeded area to generate forecasts and outlooks. In a previous report, we admitted that most of these are simply educated guesses. The bigger unknown comes from the fact that yields – not acres – have a larger impact on crop supplies and the resulting market outlooks.

This year, moisture conditions are already quite variable in different parts of the prairies. Some places are still dealing with excess moisture while others would love to have those kinds of problems. That variability sets the stage for sizable swings in yield potential. In this article, we’ll look at some possible scenarios based on various yield outcomes and how that could change the market outlook.

For peas, farmers told StatsCan they would be planting 3.83 million acres of peas, although some have argued

Tildren – another treatment for Navicular disease in horses

by Dr. Christa Harder Navicular disease is a loosely termed syndrome that is referred to as heel pain of the front feet of horses.

This is a degenerative condition that affects not only the navicular bone (small bone underneath the coffin bone) but also the associated tendons and collateral ligaments in the heel region. This syndrome is quite common, especially in quarter horses, and results in lameness in one or both front feet. It appears most commonly between the ages of 5-12 and begins with periods of on/off lameness which eventually progresses to more consistent lameness. Horses with this type of lameness often appear stiff and short strided on one or both front feet.

We diagnose this syndrome by performing a lameness exam, identifying the area that the pain is coming from and then taking x-rays. We are often able to see changes on x-ray to the navicular bone such as cysts

or holes in the navicular bone but sometimes further diagnostics such as MRI are required.

Because navicular disease is degenerative condition we focus on managing the syndrome vs. curing the lameness. Corrective shoeing can dramatically improve this condition in certain cases when we focus on supporting the heel and shortening the toe (for ease of break over). Additionally joint injections in the coffin joint or navicular bursa can help as well as arthritis treatments such as hyaluronic acid or glucosamine.

It appears as though there are not a lot of treatment options for navicular disease but recently a new drug became available called Tildren.

Tildren is a bisphosphonate which was initially used to treat osteoporosis in women. Bone is an active tissue that is constantly turning over (creating new bone and resorbing old bone). In healthy bone this balance is maintained but in conditions such as osteoporosis or

navicular disease bone loss occurs from excessive bone resorption. Bisphosphonates work at slowing down the resorption of bone. Tildren also appears to have some effect on decreasing pain in arthritic situations.

Tildren is administered intravenously in fluids that we drip in slowly over a two hour period. There are minimal side effects to the treatment though the occasional horse can experience temporary colic like symptoms therefore we usually keep them at the clinic for observation a few hours afterwards.

More recently yet, a new form of bisphosphonate came out in the states called Osphos which is the same type of drug and works in the same manner yet is administered via intramuscular injection.

Tildren works best in recently diagnosed cases and can have good results when combined with corrective shoeing. Research found that corrective shoeing improved navicular syndrome in 45% of cases but when combined with Tildren improved success to 65%.

Maximum improvement is typically seen around two months post injection and can be repeated yearly.

BC Horse Industry Overview June 1, 2015 - Taken from the website of the BC Ministry of Agriculture (http://www.al.gov.bc.ca/ horses/overview.htm) The horse industry in British Columbia is a large sector that is important to the provincial economy.

Horse activity typically generates 73 million dollars in direct provincial and federal tax revenue, which generates roughly 740 million dollars in economic activity to the province.

In the 2009 Britsh Columiba Horse Industry Report done by Horse Council British Columbia it was reported that there were approximately 95,000 horses and ponies living on 13,700 farms in BC.

The majority of the horse industry in 2009 was located in the Lower Mainland (26%), Thompson Okanagan (22%), Vancouver Island (15%), and the Peace River (13%), the remainder is spread throughout the province.

Horse production units are typically small with less than 10 mares, utilizing a medium size property of 10-70 acres.

The horse racing industry has an annual economic impact of $191 million and creates 2,450 full time equivalent jobs. This industry accounts for approximately 26% of the economic impact in the sector which uses around 8,822 horses.

May 25, 2015 – Alberta Agriculture and Forestry The Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) and the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency (ALMA) are inviting applications of research and development in areas that address targeted industry priorities.

The purpose of this $1 million targeted call for proposals is to focus on forage research priority areas benefiting Alberta’s cattle producers. Forage is the key driver of Alberta’s cattle industry competitiveness, accounting for two-thirds of costs. The targeted priority areas have been established based on producer input of gaps and areas determined as having the greatest benefit on profitability and contribution to growth and sustainability of the industry.

The targeted research

priorities are: • improved grazing, management, and forage mixture strategies that optimize hay yields and beef production from native range and tame pastures • quantification of varietal and species differences in the ability of grasses, legumes, and annual forages to maintain nutritional quality throughout the grazing season and in extended stockpiled or swath grazing systems • quantification of cereal forage variety differences in digestibility, nutrient profile for extended (stockpiled, bale or swath) grazing and ensiling potential • evaluation of yield, nutrient profile, and animal performance of new forage varieties in geographical regions beyond the development region • utilization and

management strategies of forage varieties and mixtures to improve feed efficiency, reduce incidence of nutritional disorders, and improve reproduction • development of perennial and annual forage varieties with improved nutritive value and agronomic characteristics (e.g. yield, stand longevity and persistence, improved resource use efficiency, drought resistance, disease resistance, carbon sequestration ability, etc.)

Research proposals will be evaluated for their likelihood to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of Alberta’s cattle herd over the short and long term, based on five criteria: • relevance to the identified research priorities stated above • scientific merit, including statistical power calculations and

The Beef Cow Investment session from the recent Cow-Calfenomics risk management series is now available for viewing on Alberta Agriculture and Forestry’s (AF’s) webpage “Cows are a long-term investment that require long term planning, says Rick Dehod, agriculture farm financial specialist, AF, Edmonton. “Many producers are looking at the market fundamentals and are considering if increasing their cow herd is the right investment for their farm or ranch.”

In The Beef Cow Investment session, Bruce Viney, business development – risk specialist, AF, addresses this question.

“Bruce suggests that like any investment, you have to look at the profitability of that investment and what the return on equity the investment will provide,” says Dehod. “Will the investment provide a return that you will be happy with? Is it the right investment for you at this time?”

In doing a beef cow investment analysis there are areas of due diligence to be examined prior to making that investment decision. These are: Profitability: know your cost of productions and breakevens. Will the investment be profitable?

Risk: what is the market risk, the financial risk, the production risk and your own risk tolerances?

Sensitivity Analysis: what if prices change, markets change, or interest rates change? How does this affect your profitability and return on your investment?

Effects on cash flow: how much of your equity do you invest and how much do you borrow for the investment?

“To view the Beef Cow Investment presentation, go to the Cow-Calfenomic’s homepage and look under the Presentations tab,” says Dehod. “Open the YouTube Playlist and scroll to the presentation.”

Governments support new infrared grain-sorting technology at Winnipeg-Based feed mill NEW EQUIPMENT SUPPORTS THE GOALS OF MANITOBA’S GRAIN INNOVATION HUB: MINISTERS May 21, 2015 – Winnipeg, Manitoba – Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) The owners of a Winnipeg feed mill will receive $1.1 million to install two new infrared grain sorters which will identify and remove undesirable grain kernels, significantly increasing the value of the final product, Minister of State Kevin Sorenson along with Member of Parliament Lawrence Toet, on behalf of Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, and Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development Minister Ron Kostyshyn announced today.

With the support of governments’ $1.1 million investment, Standard Nutrition Canada Co. will become the only company in the country using infrared grain sorting technology. This equipment removes grains infected with fusarium head blight or ergot from crops before they are made into animal feed. This increases the overall grade and quality of grains, which allows sales into higher-value markets. It is expected to increase the value of Manitoba grains by $4 million annually.

Standard Nutrition Canada Co. will be investing an additional $1.1 million in the project. The company currently has more than 90 full-time employees and expects to hire up to eight more as a result of the new equipment.

In 2014, Manitoba wheat farmers lost an estimated $400 million in revenue due to fusarium damage, a disease that also affects barley and corn. The ergot fungus can become a major problem with wet growing conditions. The toxins it produces cannot be removed

during processing and are dangerous for animals and humans if consumed. Currently, grains infected with these diseases either sell at a greatly reduced price or, in extreme cases, end up in landfills. This investment in a more efficient sorting and cleaning process made possible with this infrared technology will reduce grain waste by 24,000 tonnes every year in Manitoba.

The ministers noted this investment is part of the Grain Innovation Hub, which was announced by the Canada and Manitoba governments in May 2014. Its goal is to leverage $33 million in government and industry funding to re-establish Manitoba as a leader in grain research, production and processing.

This project was funded through Growing Forward 2’s Growing Value program. The federal and provincial governments are investing $176 million in Manitoba under Growing Forward 2, a five-year, federal-provincial-territorial policy framework to advance the agriculture industry, helping producers and processors become more innovative and competitive in world markets.

Quotes “Canadian enterprises are constantly working to improve the competitiveness of the agricultural sector and create prosperity for the entire value chain. This new equipment will open up new market opportunities for our hard-working farmers.”

- Minister of State Kevin Sorenson “This investment will help recapture more value from Manitoba’s grains and create new marketing opportunities. The damage caused by fusarium and ergot can be a significant cost for Manitoba’s farmers and across the entire industry. This new infrared equipment is an innovative solution, with significant financial and environmental benefits.”

- Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development Minister Ron Kostyshyn “The sourcing of clean high quality grain has become a major issue in our region. In many cases these grains are shipped to markets over long distances, which also decreases the margin potential for our growers. This investment by our company and governments is a key step in reclaiming the value of local crops while maintaining the integrity of the food we produce.”

- Jason McNaughton, president and general manager of Standard Nutrition Canada Co.

Nanita Blomquist, Ag-Info Centre, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry What condition should my cows be in for breeding season?

Cows should be in an average body condition or a score of 3 (on a scale of 1 to 5) at calving time in order to maintain condition for the breeding season.

Cows that are too thin will put all the nutrients into producing milk and maintaining their current condition. This will decrease their ability to rebreed, as cows that lose weight between calving and breeding are delayed in having their first heat and typically have lower conception rates. For example, a cow giving birth to a 75 lb calf will lose approximately 150 lb at calving, which includes the weight of the calf, placenta, and body fluids.

Figure 1. Effect of Body Condition at Calving and Weight Change after Calving on Cycling Source: Adapted from John B. Hall, Extension Animal Scientist, Beef, Virginia Tech My cows are cycling, why are they not catching?

Just because cows are cycling doesn’t mean they will always breed. Several research studies have shown that cows need to have 2 to 3 cycles after calving before they reach maximum fertility. Typically there is a 10-20% increase in first service conception rates between the first and third heat after calving.

Also, to calve every 12 months, a cow must rebreed within 80 days after the birth of her calf; this level of performance makes it possible to reduce your cost per pound of weaned calf.

Can nutrition improve fertility?

Poor nutrition before calving can lengthen the interval from calving to first estrus and reduce the percentage of cows that cycle early in the breeding season.

Poor nutrition after calving reduces overall pregnancy rates.

Cows need 25% more energy and 41% more protein after calving than in late gestation.

Do I need to vaccinate my cows and heifers before breeding season?

Replacement heifers should be immunized for respiratory diseases such as IBR and BVD. Typically yearling bulls and heifers will need two doses, 21 to 30 days apart, with the last dose given at least one month prior to breeding season.

For cows and mature bulls, boosters should be given for Vibrio, Lepto, IBR and BVD. Consult with a veterinarian on which vaccines and types are best for your operation.

How much bull power will I need?

Two-year-old bulls can be placed with 18 to 24 females and experience bulls should be able to breed 25 females (sometimes more if in smaller pastures).

Yearling bulls (12 to 15 months old) can be placed with 10 to 15 females.

How do I evaluate the reproductiveness of my bulls?

It is important to have a veterinarian do a breeding soundness examination on all your bulls prior to breeding season. This allows enough time to find a replacement bull if needed. Give new bulls about a month prior to breeding season to adapt to their new environment.

Why should I breed my heifers ahead of the mature cows?

Two-year-old first calvers take longer to return to estrus after calving than mature cows. This allows time to watch and evaluate the bulls to ensure they know how to breed and/or that they are willing to breed. This is particularly important for young yearling bulls and older bulls. Breeding the heifers earlier allows for easier and closer management of the heifers at calving time, as they are most likely to need assistance at calving time.

Yearling replacement heifers should be bred about a month before the mature cows are bred. This allows for more time to recover and rebreed the following year.

What is the optimum length of the Breeding Season?

The length of the breeding season is an important factor in determining pregnancy rate. Late calving cows have lower weaning weights at weaning than early-calving cows. Reduced calving efficiency and long calving seasons typically results in poorer reproductive performance in beef cows. Shortening the breeding season from 150 days or even from 90 days to a 60 day season is an improvement.

Australia could hit Canadian beef import quota 27 May 2015 Meat & Livestock Australia CANADA - Strong beef exports to Canada so far this year suggest Australia could hit the annual 35,000 tonnes tariff-free quota, a According to the April issue of Steiner Consulting’s Canada Meat Market Report.

Meat and Livestock Australia said that Canadian authorities issued almost 12,000 tonnes to Australian exporters for the year-to-April period, up 21 per cent year-on-year.

If the quota is exceeded, Australian product will be imposed a 26.5 per cent tariff.

This has already occurred with Uruguay, Australia’s second largest competitor in the market after the US, which has hit its quota of almost 12,000 tonnes.

Canada is Australia’s ninth largest market (based on 2014 volumes), accounting for just 3 per cent of total exports.

Year-to-April Australian beef exports to Canada were 46 per cent higher than the corresponding period last year, at

just over 14,000 tonnes according to data from the Department of Agriculture, which was made up mostly manufacturing beef (81 per cent).

The discrepancy between Australian export and Canadian import volumes is due to the time goods are at sea, shrinkage and spoilage. While imported beef in cold storage remains high, up 37 per cent year-on-year, Steiner Consulting point out that this increase is off a low base and domestic Canadian stocks of grinding beef remain tight.

The limited domestic cattle and beef supplies in Canada reflect a trend which is present across North America – which has continued to support domestic and imported beef prices.

In March, 90CL import prices into Canada averaged A$6.53/kg (C$6.37/ kg), up 21 per cent year-on-year, and, while they eased in Canadian dollar terms by mid-April, the falling A$ saw prices remain steady, at about A$6.51/ kg (C$6.23/kg).

Butler Farm Equipment Ltd.

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) will be hosting crop walks on June 11 and 18, 2015, in the Lethbridge area.

“The focus on the June 11 walk will be on the advanced agronomic practices project, led by Dr. Sheri Strydhorst, that is being conducted across the province but with an irrigated and dryland site in the Lethbridge area,” says Doon Pauly, agronomy research scientist, AF, Lethbridge. “This project is investigating the effects of in-crop N application, growth regulators, and fungicides at various times and combinations on wheat and barley.”

The tour will be at the AF irrigated site southeast of Coaldale. Participants will meet at the Lethbridge Research Centre visitor parking area at 9 a.m. for car pooling to the site, and will return to the research centre by 11 a.m. or soon after.

The June 18 tour will focus on research being conducted at both AR’s irrigation

demo farm and the research land between the jail and demo farm. “We will discuss several topics and research projects including variable rate irrigation concepts, equipment, and specifically variable rate irrigation of potatoes, fertigation of wheat and canola, integrated management of Fusarium Head Blight, and rotational benefits of dry beans and soybeans,” says Pauly. “Again, meet at the visitor parking area of the Lethbridge Research Centre at 9 a.m. The discussions should wrap up by about 11 a.m.”

Crop Walks are also planned July 9 near Magrath (dryland advanced agronomic practices) and July 16 at the Bow Island substation (various topics including soybean agronomy, corn and soybean irrigation management). “Details about these July events will be available before the end of June,” says Pauly. “In early August, we will also re-visit the irrigated advanced agronomic practices site.”

By Akim Omokanye Newsletter of the Peace Country Beef and Forage Association (May, 2015) On-farm evaluation of forage-stand rejuvenation methods to determine the most effective and profitable methods for northern Alberta producers Project Design, Methodology and Experimental Approach The study will be located at two sites. Site 1 will be at Soames Smith’s farm (Uddersmith Dairy farm), Rycroft, Alberta. Site 2 will at Bill Smith’s farm, Grovedale, Alberta.

Site 1 is an organic beef cattle farm and site 2 is a conventional beef cattle farm. For site 1, we will use a pasture pad-dock and for site 2, we will use a hay field. Both farms have pre-existing forage stands that need rejuvenation.

Each site will have 12-13 treatments and the treatment will be replicated 3 times making total number of plots per location 36-39. Each plot will be 0.5 acres in size making it approximately 20 acres per site.

Field Measurements (Data to be collected): In the initial year (2015) at each site before any treatment is implemented, baseline

measure-ments (for the benchmark level) will be carried out in June. Yearly field measurements will con-tinue in 2016 and 2017 to monitor any changes in parameters being measured. Baseline and sub-sequent (yearly) data measurements will include: Soil and Environmental Components Forage Component Soil Quality & Soil Compaction Stand Establishment & Forage Quality Livestock Component CowBytes beef ration balancing software- CowBytes will allow us to combine ration information with methods of rejuvena-tion of pasture and economics Economic Component (Economic Analysis) - A simple economic analysis of the input costs and output revenue will be an important aspect of the project.

Cost-benefit analysis of methods of rejuvenation (treatments) will take into consideration the following: seed price, fuel use per operation (fuel use to be monitored with a fuel flow meter), equipment use (including rental) and labour, forage yield & hay price.

Data Analysis The analysis will be carried out to compare treatments

Agriculture and Forestry weed specialist Nicole Kimmel says she’s made three positive identifications on Knotweed Fallopia sp. in Alberta in the last few days.

“Two of these identifications have come from people sharing this plant across gardens, who, after having second thoughts, sent me pictures of stems in pots ready to plant,” says Kimmel.

Identifiers for knotweed include: • • •

50’ x 100’ Truss Arch

Kimmel says there are several reasons for concern with knotweed. “This weed forms extensive creeping rhizomes, and its ability to regenerate from small pieces of root, and seed viability, make it difficult to control. It can also penetrate through concrete, bricks and asphalt.”

She says that if you have knotweed to work with your local municipality. “Report all locations as this weed needs special attention.”

On the open road PTSD: My Story Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. (Mayo Clinic) Kate MacEachern, a former Corporal in the Canadian Armed Forces is on a mission.

Walking from Nipawin Saskatchewan to Chilliwack BC, Kate’s journey is all about creating dialogue around PTSD, it’s causes, it’s side effects and the solutions that can bring a measure of happiness, joy and sunshine back into people’s lives.

The 45 pound rucksack she carries on her back is symbolic of the burden of PTSD that so many first responders, service personnel and veteran’s carry.

The journey through PTSD is all about learning to live with a new normal.

My story: Like everyone out there, I have a few causes that are close to my heart. Finding a cure for MS - my wonderful husband has MS, so, it’s important to me that we find a cure, anything to do with children who are suffering from sexual, physical and psychological abuse. As a survivor, those causes are important to me. PTSD; being a survivor, having dealt with psychiatrists and doctors, insurance and bureaucracy, I know all too well about the stigma involved with PTSD. PTSD almost robbed me of my life. I had survived repeated beatings at the hand of my mother, I had survived being sexually molested, I had survived the car crash that put me in braces, physically, but inside, my spirit, my soul and mind were struggling. Nightmares, cold sweats, very little sleep for days and weeks and months and years... mood swings, sometimes violent ones...along with a host of other unpleasant symptoms.

After several medications that did not work (Wellbutrin, Zoloft etc) the drugs the doctors eventually put me on, Paxil and Amitriptyline ended up exacerbating the problem instead of alleviating it. No one knew at the time, that you should not drink coffee on Paxil. Here I was, 2-3 pots of coffee a day on 40MG’s of this stuff and low and behold, when they adjusted the Amtrityline the last time, it triggered suicidal thoughts. After about a week of not being able to shut the voice off in my head, feeling like I couldn’t tell anyone what was going on, terrified of what the outcome would be, I checked myself into the hospital.

I spent two weeks being weened off of caffeine, through tests, it was discovered I had caffeine toxicity and 75% liver damage caused by the combination of coffee and Paxil.

I went through hell. My family went through it with me. Counselling helped some, but none of the drugs the doctors tried on me worked and with the last set almost killing me I decided I would pitch the drugs and find other ways to deal with my challenges. I meditate now, watch my diet, use herbal supplements, read a lot of spiritual books. Riding my motorcycle helps me cope as does snuggling with my cats...but...

It wasn’t until I went to Wounded Warriors Weekend in Slave Lake AB last August that I truly, deeply got the message that I wasn’t alone, I wasn’t weird, I was wounded.

Being surrounded by others who had similar sleeping patterns to mine, watching others trigger, listening to the experiences of others who like me, wanted to do more than just survive...it wasn’t until that weekend that I felt accepted, by ME. I had bought into the stigma that the doctors, friends and strangers had labelled me with. I was ashamed of me and this weakness. NO MORE. At Wounded Warriors Weekend I found a new layer to my healing.

DIALOGUE. I feel stronger inside than I have in years, and I believe that the simple act of dialogue brought an enlightenment an understanding to my brain that it had not been able to accept before.

Although I wasn’t a soldier or a veteran, I wasn’t a cop or a fire fighter, not a medic either, the people who at-

r001919588

tended Wounded Warriors Weekend, made me realize that my trauma’s while different from theirs, were real, horrible and that I wasn’t crazy.

I was more like them than not, I was simply trying to find a new normal while resenting losing the old normal.

One of the people who touched my soul and helped rekindle my fire and passion for life, was Kate MacEachern.

Having been thrown from a horse during a training exercise with the Lord Strathcona’s Mounted Regiment, this woman, whose back was broken, who later experienced a stroke because of a dislodged blood clot caused by the horse incident, a woman who was told she’d never walk again, might never function fully again, helped me.

She helped me through her compassion, her empathy, her courage, strength and inner beauty.

Kate MacEachern is all of those things and so much more.

After interviewing her, spending time with her, I vowed that I wanted to do more surrounding the issue of PTSD. I wanted to support our Warriors, those who do jobs that horrify, that destroy the soul, the body and the mind. The Police, Medics, Fire Fighters, Soldiers, Veteran’s - these people do jobs that I am not sure I would have the courage to do. They see horrific car wrecks, people burning alive, children being abused, bullets and IED’s taking the lives of their friends - they see the WORST of humanity & Mother Nature and yet they rush in to help instead of pulling back.

Because of meeting Kate, I decided to start an event that will become it’s own association in time, called Wheels for Our Wounded using my non profit, The Canadian Motorcycle Tourism Association to do so.

The goal; to help those who need wind therapy to deal with their PTSD be able to have motorcycles converted with side cars or made into trikes, help buy wheel chair accessible vehicles or help get vehicles modified so a Warrior could drive their car or truck.

You see the government looks upon private vehicles as a luxury, but those of us who ride, know that a motorcycle is far more than a luxury, for some of us, it’s a life line. Those who can’t take public transit know that wheels mean freedom, independence and dignity.

Keeping sprayers in good shape is important May 14, 2015 - Tracy Turner, Library Machinery/ Ag Answers News COLUMBUS, Ohio - Using clean water when calibrating a pesticide sprayer and carrying extra nozzles for quick repair of simple problems in the field are just some of the tricks of the trade that can help growers save time, energy and money during spraying season, says a spray technology expert in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University.

Because there are so many things that could go wrong when using a sprayer, growers need to take extra time to ensure they know the right techniques to keep their sprayers performing in optimum condition,

according to Erdal Ozkan, an agricultural engineering professor with Ohio State University Extension and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center.

OSU Extension and OARDC are the outreach and research arms, respectively, of the college.

With the rising cost of pesticides and fertilizers, growers who want to save money and spray chemicals as efficiently as possible need to make sure they choose sprayers that work as accurately as possible and get the job done with less use of chemical inputs, he said.

“Spray application requires more managerial decisions than any other farm operation because a lot of

PEACE COUNTRY GRAIN STORAGE SALE DARMANI FACTORY DIRECT PRICING “On farm storage is crucial to our farm organization. But It all adds up. When all the smoke cleared, overall on 2-3609 bin packages with unload/cross-air/fans set up and delivered, l saved close to $30,000 versus the nearest coop dealer. If I can save 1000’s of dollars on grain storage on a more cost effective grain storage system, then that is the way I am going to go. I choose DARMANI not only because of savings, but I like both the simplicity of design and unique features they offer in one complete package. The Cross Air offers NO restrictions and the unload system keeps up with my 10” auger. All it took was one phone call from leasing to final set up.”

FACTORY REPS

things could go wrong with a sprayer that you don’t know are going on,” Ozkan said. “For example, a nozzle could be clogged and the only way you can find out is by calibrating your sprayer.

“If you’re spraying more pesticides than you need, you’re wasting your money, and if you aren’t applying enough, you may have to go back and respray your entire field.”

Those are the kinds of mistakes that could result in poor performance of the pesticide and cost growers time and money to reapply to the entire field, he said.

“Paying attention to the application rate, travel speed, spray pressure, nozzle selection and spray drift will lead any grower to a successful outcome — which is the efficient and effective control of pests,” Ozkan said.

The costs of wasted chemicals can be high. Farmers spend approximately $4.1 billion on pesticides annually, according to published reports.

“There are also environmental concerns to be aware of that can cause unintended problems such as spray drift or application of pesticides in certain areas that could cause chemicals going into waterways,” Ozkan said. “That is why calibration is so important.t “It’s not only how much you apply but how uniformly you are spreading it over the target.”

In a recent CORN newsletter posting, Ozkan offers the following tips that can help growers get the most out of their sprayers: 1. Know what kind of nozzles are on your sprayer and whether or not their patterns need to be overlapped for complete coverage. Make sure the nozzles are not partially clogged, and never use a pin, knife or any other metal object to unclog nozzles.

2. Nozzle tips with different fan angles on the boom and uneven boom height are the most common causes of non-uniform spray patterns. They can all cause streaks of untreated areas that result in insufficient pest control and economic loss.

3. Setting the proper boom height for a given nozzle spacing is extremely important in achieving proper overlapping. To achieve uniform coverage on the entire swath of the sprayer, conventional flat-fan nozzles require 30 to 50 percent overlapping of adjacent spray patterns. Check nozzle catalogs for specific recommendations for different nozzles.

4. Know your actual travel speed, and keep it as steady as possible. Increasing the speed by 20 percent may let you cover the field quicker, but it also cuts the application rate by 20 percent. Similarly, a reduction of speed by 20 percent causes an over-application of pesticide by 20 percent - an unnecessary waste of pesticides and money.

5. Pay attention to spray pressure. Variations in pressure will cause changes in application rate, droplet size and spray pattern. At very low pressures, the spray angle will be noticeably narrowed, causing insufficient overlap between nozzle patterns and streaks of untreated areas. High pressure will increase the number of drift-prone droplets.

6. Avoid spray drift by not spraying when the wind speed is likely to cause drift. Keep the spray pressure low if it is practical to do so, or replace conventional nozzles with low-drift nozzles. Also keep the boom close to the target, use drift retardant adjuvants, and spray in early morning and late afternoon when drift potential is less.

7. Carry extra nozzles, washers, other spare parts and tools to repair simple problems quickly in the field.

8. Calibrate your sprayer periodically during spraying season to keep it at peak performance.

9. Be safe. Read the chemical and equipment instructions, and follow them. Wear protective clothing, rubber gloves and respirators when calibrating the sprayer, doing the actual spraying and cleaning the equipment. Be well informed about the specific recommendations for a given pesticide, and follow the laws and regulations on pesticide application.

46 The Northern Horizon, June 5, 2015

PTSD: My Story Continued from 41

almost as many PTSD therapy types as there are sufferers. This is not a one size fits all illness.

There are organizations funding many of the different therapies, but vehicle therapy outside of wheel chair accessible vehicles isn’t being funded here in Canada.

I called Kate and asked her if she could be my special guest since she’d be in Edmonton for May 30th - told her I’d donate 25% of everything we take in to her cause and the balance would go to purchasing a motorcycle for a veteran in need of motorcycle therapy. She agreed.

AND THEN I was asked to join the team of The Long Way Home as Operations Manager.

Overwhelmed but excited to be involved in making a bigger difference, I readily agreed.

Though we are only two weeks into Kate’s 3 month long journey, I can’t tell you how healing

this experience has been. Gruelling, challenging but healing, for all of us in the team I do believe.

As her ops manager, my job is to take care of all the little things that crop up while the team is on the road. I apply for permits, coordinate with the rest of the team like Cindy Murphy the publicist, the events team, Pat Varga, Brenda Fredercikson, Drea Popiel, David Wilson, Sophie Pyne and Paula DeLorey her medic and all of the communities and people who reach out wanting to be involved.

I help with social media, the web site, designing and ordering of swag, ensuring the team knows what is happening from day to day. It’s busy work.

The on road team is comprised of 5 women, three who are survivors with PTSD, 4 horses and one pre teen boy.

Kate is joined for the first 30 days of this trip by her son, Tyler. His message is almost as powerful

For much of this journey Kate will be walking with two horses and their riders, Rebecca and her daughter Emily; Emily has PTSD. The N.A.S.H. Project provides service dogs and therapy horses and is headed up by Rebecca and her daughter.

As beneficiaries of Kate’s efforts, they wanted to join Kate and show the people they get to meet what great therapy a horse can be, to talk about the effects of a service dog on its handler, to provide hope and help the discussions focus on HOPE, on supports.

To read the stories of how Kate and her team’s message have touched people’s lives, to see the photos and the joy, the hope she is spreading - the dialogue that is being created.

By Neil Billinger Construction crews are busy working on three concrete terminals in Saskatchewan.

CWB is building facilities at Colonsay, 70 kilometres southeast of Saskatoon, and Pasqua, 10 kilometres east of Moose Jaw, while Viterra is putting up a new elevator at Kindersley, about two hours west of Saskatoon.

The 65-member crew at the Marquis location is getting a few days of well-deserved rest following a week-long continuous concrete pour for the 130-foot structure that started on May 20.

“It’s a slightly different type of concrete that sets more quickly,” says Gord Flaten, CWB vice-president of grain procurement.

The elevator will feature 42,000 tonnes of storage, cleaning facilities and a 134-car loop track with a loading capacity in excess of 1,600 tonnes per hour. The Pasqua elevator is scheduled to be ready for farmer grain deliveries by February or March.

The CWB facility at Colonsay is ahead of

schedule and will be ready for business this fall. The two Saskatchewan elevators and two others under construction in Manitoba are the same design.

“One of the advantages is that they are all nearly identical,” Flaten says. “We are learning things from one site to the next. We have some efficiencies in both the design work and construction that have been very helpful.”

The same firm - FWS Group of Companies - is the main contractor for all four CWB elevators.

The Viterra elevator at Kindersley will have a storage capacity of 34,000 tonnes and a 108-railcar spot. The new facility will serve as a replacement for an elevator that was sold to Richardson as part of the Glencore purchase of Viterra three years ago.

A company spokesman says construction is progressing well, with preparations underway for the slipform pour, which is expected to begin June 22. Work continues on construction of the rail bed in preparation for completion of the rail siding before winter. Construction is on track for operation early in 2016.

Innovative pest control wins international award FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 29, 2015

by Judie Steeves A British Columbia program that controls a devastating orchard pest without the use of chemicals has received recognition from the international community.

The Okanagan-Kootenay Sterile Insect Release program received the international integrated pest management award of excellence after nomination by the pesticide risk reduction program of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, at a recent IPM symposium in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Real Estate The award celebratesListing that chemical sprays in B.C. orchards to control the codling moth — an alien pest of pomme fruits such as pears and apples — are almost a thing of the past, as is the pest itself.

Presenters said the award was for “excellent leadership in establishing and

sustaining a successful long-term, areawide IPM program through effective partnerships with local governments, industry, residents and researchers and promoting its adoption in other regions of the world.”

OKSIR general manager Cara Nelson accepted the award and passed it on to the four regional districts involved in the program; the provincial agriculture ministry, the federal Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre and the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association.

“The judges were really impressed by what we’ve achieved,” Nelson says.

“The program has reduced the volume of pesticides from what was once used against codling moth in the valley by 96 per cent since 1991 and there’s been a 90 per cent reduction in populations of the moth.”

The larval stage of the codling moth is the iconic worm in the apple. On average, growers apply less than one spray a season against this pest, compared to

three or more prior to the program, and many growers haven’t had to spray for the past 15 years.

“Growers are making money because of our program,” Nelson says.

Last year a cost-benefit analysis of the program was conducted by Lee Cartier, an agrologist and professor in the School of Business at Okanagan College, who found the benefit to producers is $395 an acre. He also found that 90.4 per cent of residents value the reduced pesticide use to the tune of $.8 million to $2 million a year.

51

Nelson says the program helps Okanagan fruit growers meet what she calls a growing global demand for sustainable food. It’s a competitive advantage that could be of tremendous economic benefit to growers, she adds.

“This program was innovative when it started 20 years ago with funding from provincial and federal governments to construct the $7 million codling moth rearing and irradiation facility — and other jurisdictions still consider it cutting edge,” Nelson says.
