By Richard Kamchen As temperatures continue to drop and fall transitions into winter, November is the time to re-check binned canola.

Anastasia Kubinec, Manitoba Agriculture’s oilseed specialist says a lot of canola went into bins in September, so November is a good time to pull some samples to determine temperature and moisture levels.

Canola’s high oil

content makes it more susceptible than other crops to deterioration in storage, and safe storage requires moisture content levels below eight per cent and temperatures under 15 C. Sensing cables may not catch pockets where heat and moisture levels are too high, and Kubinec recommends taking samples from the bottom, middle and top.

Alberta Agriculture

crop specialist Neil Whatley calls for another round of aeration. Canola is typically first aerated during its respiration period, which occurs for up to six weeks after being stored.

“When the temperatures decrease again in November, it’s a good time to do some more aeration because what happens is the grain nearest to the bin edge cools first and migrates

downward and then up the middle of the grain core,” says Whatley.

“And it gathers moisture and warmth as it goes and it can create pockets of spoilage.”

Whatley recommends getting temperatures down to between 0 and 5 C. The lower the better, as biological activity significantly slows below 5 C, notes Canola Council of Canada agronomy specialist Angela Brackenreed.

She’s a big advocate of turning canola over, removing a portion from the bin and leaving a load to cool off on a truck overnight if possible.

“If you don’t have aeration, some growers just move it with a truck, take a third of the bin out of the bottom and put it back on the top,” says Whatley. “That moves everything and breaks up any type of spoilage that occurs there and reduces the temperature as well.”

Alberta had the highest amount of green seed among the three Prairie provinces, and that higher moisture content canola requires greater diligence and attention.

Brackenreed says green seed canola in storage tends to be more volatile and vulnerable to spoilage.

If not selling it right away, then aerate it early and monitor it closely, and deliver it as soon as possible to prevent additional price discounts, says Whatley.

Brackenreed adds growers should take a good representative sample and have it analyzed at multiple places.

Green seed analysis is somewhat subjective and a farmer could receive varying analyses from different buyers, which could affect marketability and price, she points out.

CCC’s Canola Watch site has a list of potential buyers that will accept high green seed canola.

The Farmers’ Advocate Office (FAO) is updating some of the written resources it has for Alberta landowners.

“For nearly 20 years, the FAO’s Pipelines in Alberta, Negotiating Surface Rights, and Seismic Operation and Landowners Rights booklets have been providing Alberta farmers and ranchers with valuable information on property rights,” says Jeana Les, research and communications specialist for the FAO. While updates to the documents have been done on an ongoing basis over the years, Les says it is time for a larger overhaul.

“The guides have always been living, breathing documents, but

there has been a number of significant changes over the past few years, including the creation of the Alberta Energy Regulator in 2012. The hope is to have the updated documents ready for distribution in the spring of 2016.”

Albertans at the World Food Championships agri-news NOVEMBER, 2015

Albertans were well represented at the World Food Championships (WFC) earlier in November, where Canadian teams took home 1st place in two of nine cooking categories. Ten of the 19 Canadian teams at WFC (including Edmonton chefs Doreen Prei, Lindsay Porter of El Cortez, and Sandeep Brar of Zinc, among others) made it into top ten rounds in their respective categories.

For its inaugural year, the Canadian Food Championships (CFC) sent 17 qualifying teams to Kissimmee, Florida, to compete in the World Food Championships November 3-10, 2015. CFC’s teams met up with two independent teams to represent Canada at WFC, a cooking competition that sees hundreds of teams from across the world compete for a grand prize of $100,000.

“We’re so proud of how the Canadians did at WFC. To make it to this level is a huge accomplishment,” says Paul Lucas, general manager, Canadian Food Championships. “We were so happy to be able to provide this opportunity for Canadians to qualify for WFC through the Canadian Food Championships this year. We always knew Canada had great culinary talent, and now they’ve shown the world.”

Final results for Alberta teams at WFC:

Seafood: 5th place: Doreen Prei (Team Prei) from Edmonton 9th place: Sandeep Brar (Zinc) from Edmonton Pasta: 7th place: Gabi Marin (Fantasyland Hotel) from Edmonton 8th place: Lindsay Porter (El Cortez) from Edmonton

Wintering site selection Stacy Pritchard, Ext & ASB Co-ordinator, PCBFA Well, it’s hard to believe that November is already here, and winter is coming. For those utilizing extended grazing methods such as bale grazing, swath grazing or corn grazing, the nutrients left behind by our cattle tend to be uniformly spread across the field, with some accumulation in bedding areas, and around water sources. Whereas, in confined winter feeding systems, these nutrients (particularly phos-phorus (P) and nitrogen (N)) accumulate in large quantities where we have our cattle wintering.

Some nutrient accumulation is inevitable; however, by properly selecting a wintering site, we can reduce negative effects on the environment due to the concentrated quantities of these nutrients.

We have a number of resources available to help us select wintering sites. One of the newest is the Wintering Site Assessment and Design Tool published by Alberta Agriculture in 2013. This Tool takes producers through the process of site selection and site management to help understand the benefits of non-confinement winter feeding and also address potential environmental concerns. This Tool focuses on wintering sites for extensive winter feeding systems.

So what exactly is a wintering site? Well, they typically include a feeding area, a sheltered area and a water source. It is in these areas that we see the accumulation of nutrients and therefore steps should be taken to ensure that the nutrient accumulation in these areas does not contaminate nearby water bodies or water sources.

Some keys to selecting wintering sites according to the Wintering Site Assessment and Design Tool as well as Cattle Wintering Sites: Managing for good Stewardship (Agdex #450/580-2):

• Use grazing systems that enhance forage resources (pasture or rangeland) • Manage water supply for operation • Maintain water quality for other users, both human, livestock and wildlife • Protect riparian areas • Protect against erosion of the landscape and nutrient overloading There are 5 aspects of a wintering site that we should look at when making an assessment as to where to put our wintering site and they are (from Alberta Nutrient Management Planning Guide): • Soil physical properties (look for sandy loam or clay loam be-cause of higher water holding capacity and limited leaching) • Slope (gently sloping or flat presents less risk for runoff, and in-crease nutrient transport) • Water bodies (there is always a potential risk to water quality when sites are close to water bodies) • Problematic soil conditions (salinity, pH, solonetzic soils, organic soils, eroded soils – these can limit the potential for benefits from wintering sites) • Past and current site management (can help identify any changes in management that could be beneficial) So what exactly are the benefits that properly choosing a wintering site can offer?

• Access to clean water could mean increased animal performance, • Improved distribution of manure, • Increased productivity, and • Improved labour and cost efficiency One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a wintering site, is what type of feeding system you are utilizing. When we use swath grazing, graze corn or use stockpiled forages, the nutrients are spread pretty uniformly across the field, with accumulation typically only occurring near watering sites, and bed-ding sites. To manage this accumulation, bedding sites should be moved every 2 weeks. However, when we are using bale grazing, processing bales, or rolling bales out, the accumulation not only occurs in watering and bedding areas, but is also concentrated around the bales. If we process or roll out our bales on different areas of the field then the manure is spread more evenly than if we continuously use the same area.

With bale grazing, the concentration and accumulation of nutrients is dependent on the spacing of the bales.

Denser bale placement can result in high accumulation (or hot spots) in the field. In the Wintering Site Assessment and Design Tool, bale spacing recommendations are available.

Wintering areas should be designed so that we limit the time cattle spend in riparian areas. By providing alternative shelter in the form of windbreaks (portable or fixed), we can avoid cattle spending large amounts of time in riparian areas where the nutrient accumulation has the easiest access to water bodies.

As you might have guessed, one of the biggest concerns for nutrient accumulation in wintering sites is potential spring runoff into both water bodies and water sources. There is also a risk of seepage into the groundwater. Risk of seepage can be assessed by looking at the soil type and structure. For example, seepage can

be reduced when wintering sites are built on clay-type soils.

Movement of our wintering sites can help reduce the effects of nutrient accumulation. It allows the crop, whether its hay, pasture or annual crop to use the nutrients applied through-out the winter. By rotating our wintering sites, we also reduce the risk for nutrient buildup and leaching. How often we return to a wintering site depends somewhat on our feeding method. On sites where we import feed (bales for grazing, processing or unrolling), there is a higher potential for nutrient accumulation and nutrient distribution isn’t always even. On sites where we don’t import feeds (swath, corn, stockpile grazing), nutrient distribution is more even, but overuse of these sites can still result in excess nutrient buildup even though it is more evenly distributed. For imported and non-imported feed systems the recommended feeding frequency is once every 3-4 years. If it is not possible to rotate the entire site, rotating the location of the feeding site and where animals are bedded should be done every year to reduce the risk of excess nutrient accumulation.

Managing our wintering sites can help us get the most out of these alternative feeding systems. By managing all aspects of these systems (feed, water, bedding and shelter) we can reduce the environmental risk associated with wintering sites.

HOW WE DO IT

WHAT WE DO

Mouse Free’s unique formula stops the entry of mice into your RV. We stop mice and other pests from entering through the small holes and cavities on the under side of your motorhome or trailer.

Simply put, a lubricating non drip coating scented with 100% natural essential oils is applied to the entire undercarriage of your RV. This provides two very unique ways to repel mice: 1 Mice have a very acute sense of smell. The scent of natural essential oils are overwhelming to mice, and drive them away.

2 The non drip oily coating is much too slippery to travel across. The coating is impassable by any mouse, squirrel, or insect even ants! If it doesn’t have wings, we keep them out!

Bearish Shocks

10:15 a.m. - November 13, 2015

That being said, the U.S.D.A. surprised even the bears by taking average corn yields up by 1.3 to 169.3 bu/ac, barley below last year’s record of 171 bu/ac! As such, total U.S. corn production was pegged at 13.65 Billion bushels, almost 100 million bushels bigger than the trade was expecting, Accordingly, the 2015/16 domestic carryout was increased to 1.76 Billion bushels, but that pales in comparison to global corn inventories rising by almost 13% year-over-year to a record 212 million tonnes (mostly thanks to lower feed use in China). In corn, the question is how much product is the market cruising through and at what pace will this help drive prices higher, should we see a mild winter and drier seeding conditions for Plant 2016 (which is being forecasted right now). Accordingly, Morgan Stanley says that at the current levels, they are bullish corn as they expect the coarse grain to outperform soybeans over the rest of the 2015/16 marketing year. As such, this paints a picture of more corn acres going into the ground this coming spring.

For soybeans, average U.S. soybean yields ticked up by 1.1 bu/ac from October to a record 48.3 bu/ac, meaning total production will touch a record 3.98 Billion bushels (or more than 108 million tonnes!). Thus, it’s no surprise that domestic U.S. soybean end-of-year inventories will grow to 465 million bushels, well above the 436 million bushels the market was anticipating.

On a positive note, global ending stocks dropped slightly as international buying remains strong, the only difference being that most of the business is being given to South America. With C.O.N.A.B. (basically Brazil’s U.S.D.A.), raising production estimates to almost 103 million tonnes, it’s not hard to figure out the math that there’s a lot soybeans out there. Yes, there’s been some slight positive points there has been some bright spots for soybeans in terms of domestic use but more than anything, the main variables to watch are China (are they slowing down their imports or just continuing to source from South America?) and El Nino (will it drive up veggie oil prices for a few months or just briefly?).

On wheat, everyone already knows there’s a large supply out there but with U.S. exports sagging to the lowest levels since the 1971/72 marketing year, it’s no surprise that U.S. ending stocks were pushed up to 911 million bushels, the largest in 6 years. Globally, world ending stocks declined slightly with the Australian crop being cut by 1 million tonnes to 26 million, but that was basically made up by the E.U. crop increasing by 2 million tonnes. All in, with supply more than available across the board, sideways-to-bearish pressure remains on the majority of grains complex with only a surprising demand headline or a weather shock bringing about the potential for a rally in the next 2 months.

Trimble to Acquire AGRI-TREND

Aquisition Said to Provide Stronger Toolset for Crop Advisors SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 10, 2015—Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that it will acquire the assets of privately held AGRITREND® of Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, which operates the largest network of independent agricultural consultants in North America. The acquisition will enable Trimble to provide agronomists

and other crop advisors with a stronger set of brand-agnostic tools they can use to advise growers on how to better manage their operations. The combination of AGRI-TREND’s experience in agronomy, grain marketing, farm business and data management together with Trimble’s experience in precision agriculture will further empower grow-

ers to gain efficiencies throughout the entire farming cycle. The acquisition is expected to close in November 2015.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

AGRI-TREND’s network of over 200 specialists spread throughout the U.S. and Canada includes over 110 independent “coaches” specializing in agronomy, precision farming, crop marketing and farm business management.

Coaches are supported by a team of science specialists comprised of over 30 Ph.D.’s and M.Sc.’s providing in-house research, training and insight support for both the coaching network and the AGRI-DATA® Solution platform—a proprietary farm data management solution. As a result, AGRI-TREND’s solutions enable growers to make informed business decisions that better allocate scarce resources to produce safe and environmentally sustainable food.

“Trimble’s acquisition of AGRITREND is another step towards total farm management for the grower.

Together with Connected Farm, we will provide growers and their trusted advisors with a combined offering that is unique in the marketplace today,” said Joe Denniston, vice president for Trimble’s Agriculture Division. “AGRI-

TREND is a leader in providing expert advice and decision support for growing crops, marketing commodities and managing a farm’s finances. Trimble is a leader in precision agriculture technology that precisely applies those decisions whether it is seed, nutrients or water. Together, Trimble and AGRITREND will enable the integration of decisions and execution to give greater control over the outcome, resulting in maximized productivity for the grower.”

“AGRI-TREND has been working side by side with farmers for over 17 years. With the strength that Trimble provides, we aim to help even more farmers as the move to precision agriculture continues to gain momentum globally,” said Rob Saik, founder of AGRI-TREND. “The combination of our advanced agricultural technical expertise and Trimble’s exceptional precision agriculture tools provides us with a platform that will support production practices that are sustainable both from an environmental and financial perspective for today’s farmers. We’re excited to be a part of the future of agriculture, and we’re pleased to work with the great people at Trimble.”

Missing and Presumed Taken

Keith Wilson from Silver Valley came into our office on Thursday last week and asked if there was anything I could do to help him locate his family pet.

He introduced me to “Maggie”, the Wilson’s female Heeler/Lab cross who was believed to have been taken from their property on Highway 681 (Range Road 110) outside of Silver Valley around 4:00 p.m. on Monday, November 9th.

So, Keith, here is what I can do for you ... a spot in my “On the Horizon” column.

Keith is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the return of “Maggie”. If you know where “Maggie” is, or have information for Keith, you can contact him at either 780-351-3815 or 780-864-0323.

Any information you have could be valuable – so please call.

Purchasing Bulls, Cows & Feeders

14 The Northern Horizon, November 20, 2015

The Costs of Compassion An original editorial submitted

by Rose Tubman Broeren, RVT I recently read an article describing how a veterinarian in Kelowna treated an entire litter of ten puppies with parvo free of charge after the owner was not able to pay for their treatment. All ten puppies survived, impressively. The veterinarian is described as a hero for waiving fees which, the article noted, would have come to roughly enough to purchase a new car. This veterinarian did an amazing thing, saved lives which would otherwise have certainly died, and, to quote the article again, restored the owner’s faith in humanity.

By all accounts, this is a feel-good story for the ages.

So why does it leave such a bad taste in my mouth?

It may be because the struggle to explain and justify the costs of veterinary medicine to our clients is a never-ending and exhausting battle. A short time ago, a client brought her cat in for a routine spay. While the discharge instructions were being explained to her, she began to tell the technologist how dishonest the practice of veterinary medicine was, and how we had no accountability, and as such, could charge whatever we wanted. When she tried to explain what the cost of the spay covered and why we charged what we did, the client refused to listen. “All veterinarians and their staff are dishonest”, she exclaimed. We’re all making money hand over fist, preying on people’s love of animals. To her, it didn’t matter that what we charge for a spay just barely covers - if it even does - what it actually costs in drugs, equipment, and time spent by

the veterinarian, veterinary technologists, veterinary assistants, kennel staff, and reception ensuring a pet’s safe and comfortable anesthesia and surgery.

I am not saying veterinarians should never make judgement calls when it comes to money. I have never worked with a veterinarian who didn’t occasionally do things for free or offer steep discounts for those who could not afford care. I personally have paid for medications and procedures on client’s animals when I have known they will not be able to cover the fees. I have watched veterinarians changing invoices which came to double the estimate given in order to stick to what owners were told they would need to pay, zeroing out their hundreds of dollars’ worth of labour or that $60 vial of medication. But what I deeply, deeply wish is that clients understood what it costs us to give those discounts and offer that free care.

The money you pay for your pet’s care does not go directly into the pocket of your veterinarian. It goes to the clinic; to the tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of inventory (mainly medication and supplies for in-hospital use such as intravenous catheters, syringes and needles, bandages, surgical supplies, etc.) which needs to be purchased on a weekly and occasionally daily basis. It goes to the hard working, deeply appreciated, and generally underpaid support staff, which perform the duties of a nurse, janitor, lab technician, x-ray technician, surgical technician, dental technician, counselor, teacher, receptionist, and pharmacist -- all in the same day, for perhaps half or less of what a nurse in a human hospital will make. It goes to maintaining the clinic and equipment within to keep your pet as safe and healthy within our walls as possible, and it goes to the purchase of new equipment to further this goal; equipment which regularly costs tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars just to purchase, let alone install, maintain, and train staff in operating it properly. It goes towards further educating staff members, to keep pets as safe and comfortable as possible as medical knowledge and technologies advance. And yes, it does go to your veterinarian – with the minimum of 6 years of post-secondary education debt, who may work twelve to eighteen hour days without overtime, who spends hours poring over your pet’s medical history when they are ill and seeking out the best possible treatment for them which you will be financially able to cover, who sleeps in front of your animal’s kennel or brings them home when they aren’t stable enough to be alone, who spends their holidays with your pet instead of their family, who dedicates not just their work hours but their personal time and personal life to ensuring that you and your animal family receive the best possible care. And it also goes to the owners and managers of the practice, who work

tirelessly to manage the behind the scenes work that clients will often never see or think of, but is nonetheless essential to help the practice run smoothly and efficiently.

The money which the Kelowna veterinarian gave up, as the article so astutely stated, would have been enough to buy a new car. It would not have. That money would have gone to a hundred, a thousand other pets in need. Do I think the veterinarian made the right choice? Absolutely. I can only assume he examined his finances and the finances of his clinic and understood what he was doing. He saved ten lives -- that’s nothing to belittle, and is a very respectable endeavour. That’s not what this is about.

This is about understanding. Veterinary medicine is expensive. No one will ever deny that. If the time comes where your pet is ill or injured and you need to say “I cannot afford that”, please do not ever feel judged. We know. We understand. Chances are good that we have been in your shoes (I know I have). But please, try to remember that we are not charging you whatever we want, that we are not trying to get rich from the suffering of your loved ones, and that we only want what is best for both you and your animal.

Understand our position, and trust that we understand yours.

This message brought to you by the favorite quote: ‘“I do this for the money”, said no person involved in the veterinary industry ever.’

SIDEBAR BOX: At the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic we have many options available to help with the financial aspect of pet care.

There are pet insurance options as well as a pet financing card that works like a credit card.

We hold fundraisers multiple times a year and continually accept donations to our Emergency Care Fund that helps families in a pet emergency provide the necessary care. We highly recommend placing money on your account for the unexpected injuries that may come up. Gift certificates are available and are a great way for you to show family and friends that you care for their entire family. Above all we recognize the human animal bond and the value of the companionship brought to us by these special household family members. We are dedicated to helping producers thrive economically through value added services and herd health training which results in a healthy, nourishing product for the public. If you ever have any questions or concerns contact us for more information.

Know where to draw the line I recently had the pleasure of attending and competing in the Trainers Challenge at The Mane Event in Chilliwack. I was also asked to do a couple of demonstrations with my own horses. The Trainers Challenge is a colt starting competition where you are given an unbroke colt to start in 3 hours. There is a crowd and a panel of judges watching you while you explain your thoughts and techniques. I believe competition has the potential to bring out either the best or the worst in you. If you go into a competition, it is unlikely that anyone could truly

say that they don’t care if they win. I know I want to win, there is no question about that. There is nothing wrong with wanting to win unless it is at the expense of something or someone.

For years I would not go into colt starting competitions because I wasn’t thinking right. Then I got my head back on and said if I’m not willing to cross the line, any of my lines, that is staying true to my horsemanship beliefs, then I can bring out the best in myself and the horse I draw. If I only do what I believe the horse is ready to do then all

is well. If that gets me a win, great and I can’t help but learn something. I also would not go in competitions for a few years because I wanted to be sure I wasn’t going to put the horse in a bad spot because maybe I really hadn’t learnt enough for that kind of environment.

Now when I go in a competition, I love the challenge of getting as much done as possible in the time you have without stepping over the lines. The young horse has to absorb a great deal of information in a very short time.

They can and they do and they have no problem with it if we can color inside the lines. If we watch our horse closely, young or old, they all have certain amounts they can absorb. The more clear and understanding what we do is, the more they can comprehend. In a competition you have your competitive side spurring you along and your other side reminding you to watch your horse see what he needs.

So don’t go faster than he can learn and make sure the last lesson is understood enough before moving forward. If they don’t yet understand, you must stay with it until they are far enough along before you add more to their list of skills. It absolutely amazes me still after 2000 colts and countless other horses, how much they can learn. How fast and with ease and calmness they learn that you don’t see even in us humans. There are, however, lines that horses have, thresh holds or limits that you need to be aware of. For example, many times in colt starting competitions the common problem that seems to come up is the colt starters have trouble keeping or getting their horse moving. The round pen can take some of the blame because it does hinder forward movement in a horse. However another common

mistake is when they are asked to go or move and they take a step, you must allow them to stop if they want.

You can ask for another step in a few seconds. Allow them to think about what just happened and that they don’t have to keep moving when you just got on. They need time to understand that you will be asking them to walk, trot and canter in time but to start with they get to stop if needed as a thank you to them for doing the right thing. You also must not pull on their heads while trying to get them to learn about going forward, with one rein or two. Allow them to learn to move forward first then teach them to turn. Help them understand to walk for you then get the walk free; then trot a step or two then get the trot to free up; then finally canter a stride or two.

In these early rides we have to feel what they can give us and be happy with it.

a tonne for the past 10 years and then this year we saw it jump to $200 a tonne,” Sherman says. “That’s going to cost $4 to $4.50 per day to feed that cow, with yardage and mineral expenses. That’s up to $800 for some producers, that is going to take the profit right out of this game.”

Sherman says producers will be changing their game plan as a result, especially when straw sells for approximately $50 a tonne in parts of western Canada, compared to $200 a tonne for barley. He says producers need to remember to keep nutritional requirements of the herd in mind.

Sherman says lick tubs, which are growing in popularity, can bring additional nutrition and minerals to cattle herds, especially when combined with grazing on straw fields or when dropping straw bunches.

He says many producers are expanding their knowledge on how to cut costs feeding cattle, and maintaining herd health and nutrition.

Canadian Angus Association Introduces Partner of the Year Award Inaugural Award Presented to Hero Certified Burgers Fair and the CAA National Convention in 2013 in Guelph, Ontario. Hero Certified Burgers founder and CEO John Lettieri was also a guest speaker at the CAA Annual National Convention in Lethbridge, Alberta in 2012.

Lettieri founded Hero Certified Burgers after finding it nearly impossible to find an Angus burger with real cheese outside of high-end restaurants and hotels.

Beretta Farms is Hero Certified Burgers’ exclusive Canadian Angus beef supplier. Beretta Farms sells Angus beef in Ontario, just outside the Greater Toronto Area. They have also supported the Canadian Angus Rancher Endorsed program since its inception. “Partnering with Beretta Farms was a natural fit, allowing us to maintain the same attributes while increasing local production and attaching an incredible all-Canadian story to our brand,” says Lettieri.

ROCKY VIEW COUNTY, AB - The Canadian Angus Association is pleased to present the inaugural CAA Partner of the Year Award to Hero Certified Burgers. Hero Certified Burgers is a quick-service restaurant franchise chain that operates in Canada, with locations concentrated in Southern Ontario and Buffalo, New York. The chain was founded in 2003

by John Lettieri.

The Canadian Angus Association introduced the Feedlot of the Year Award in 2011 to recognize feedlots that promote Angus to their customers and that feed Canadian Angus Rancher Endorsed tagged cattle.

In 2014, the award program was expanded to recognize the CAA Partner of the Year to acknowledge important partnerships and other sectors of the supply chain that promote Angus beef to the public and appreciate authentic Angus beef.

“We chose Hero Certified Burgers to receive this inaugural award because of their commitment to using Angus beef that is both verifiable and Canadian,” says Rob Smith, CAA CEO. “Hero Certified Burgers has been a member of the Canadian Angus Rancher Endorsed program since its launch in 2009. We are pleased to be able to formally and publicly celebrate their continual efforts to promote Canadian Angus beef to consumers in Canada and now in the United States with the launch of their first New York location.

“Hero Certified Burgers has proven to be a valued partner of the Canadian Angus Association,” adds Smith. “They are eager to collaborate with our Association.” Past collaborations have included sponsorship of the Angus National Show at the Royal Winter

ROCKY VIEW COUNTY, AB, Nov. 9, 2015 - The Canadian Angus Association is pleased to welcome our newest staff member, Taylor Isley, who has been hired as the Commercial Angus Identification and Performance Program (CAIPP) Coordinator. This one-year internship is supported by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Career Focus Program.

The Canadian Angus Association announced CAIPP in June at the second annual Carcass 101 event. Isley is working with Kajal Devani, Director of Breed Development, to formally launch the program in 2016.

Through CAIPP, producers will record Angus-tagged animals with the Association and have the option to add pedigree and performance information to these animal records, including feedlot growth and carcass quality information.

“I’m really excited to help commercial producers market their cattle better through access to more performance information to market their calves to feedlots and their customers,” says Isley.

Devani adds, “CAIPP allows for individual performance and carcass quality information to be provided to breeders to help them make more informed selection decisions. I am excited to have Taylor with us for the next year.”

“I’m proud to have Taylor on board,” says Rob Smith, CEO. “We recognize the need for Canadian Angus members and their commercial customers to have access to carcass quality and performance information on their cattle. We created the Commercial Angus Identification and Performance Program to increase the value of the Angus tag to the Canadian beef industry.”

Isley, a purebred cattle producer from east of Calgary, holds a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science with a minor in Communications from Kansas State University.

The Canadian Angus Association is Canada’s largest purebred beef breed organization. The Association represents 2,700 members across Canada for the purposes of registering and recording the pedigrees of purebred Angus cattle in the closed Herd Book and

Winter feeding programs for beef cows and calves Part 2 in a three-part series Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (Agri-Facts, Agdex 420/52-3, 2007) Sample Rations for Calves Gaining 1.5 lb Per Day The following sample rations have been calculated using “average values” for Alberta feeds that are free of molds, dust, foreign materials and have no rain damage. The rations below provide the minimum nutrient requirements to take steer calves from 440 lb to 660 lb at a rate of 1.5 lb per day. At the lower end of the weight range, intake will be approximately 2 pounds less (of dry matter) than listed, and at the upper end of the weight range, intake will be approximately 2 pounds more than indicated.

The sample rations provided below use average values for feeds and may not

be representative of the feeds available or on site. For optimal results, sample and test all the different feeds used, and have custom rations developed for your situation. Most feed mills have the capabilities to develop and manufacture custom supplements or minerals to meet individual needs.

It is assumed that no growth implants or feed additives are being used. A fortified trace mineral salt with selenium and vitamins A, D and E must be provided. The grain should also be rolled or coarsely ground. A temperature of -15°C (at noon) is the expected daytime high for the feeding period.

In very cold weather, feed intake will increase compared to the values stated.

4-H BC Gator lottery winners Kamloops, BC. - Christopher Robinson of Prince George, BC and Crystal Noel of Fort St. John, BC were the Grand Prize winners of the 2015 4-H British Columbia Gator Lottery. The draw was made at 10:00 am October 30, at PrairieCoast Equipment dealership in Kamloops.

The winning tickets were drawn by Deborah Goertzen, 4-H Key Leader of the Kamloops district.

The Grand Prize of the two lotteries were two John Deere XUV 550 4x4 Gators generously donated by PrairieCoast Equipment, BC. This is the third time that PrairieCoast Equipment has donated the Grand Prizes for the 4-H BC Gator Lottery. Thanks to the generosity of PrairieCoast Equipment, the 4-H BC Gator lottery has raised almost $100,000 over the three years for the 4-H program and 4-H clubs in British Columbia!

Tickets were sold by 4-H members and clubs and were in high demand by 4-Her’s and their friends, families and neighbours in communities all over the province. Proceeds will be shared between participating 4-H Clubs and the 4-H British Columbia Provincial Council. This year, over $29,000 was raised for 4-H BC clubs and Provincial Council.

The Top Selling Club Contest Winner was a tie between Gabriola 4-H Club from Vancouver Island Region and Milky Way 4-H Dairy Club from Kamloops-Okanagan Region and Victoria W. of the Milky Way 4-H Dairy Club won the Top Ticket Seller by member.

“On behalf of 4-H British Columbia, our sincere thanks goes out to PrairieCoast Equipment for their most recent contribution. Your generous support will continue to pave the path to achievement for our youth.” said May-Britt Jensen, 4-H BC Fund Development Officer.

Thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket this year and supported the 4-H program in BC and to PrairieCoast Equipment for making this opportunity possible for 4-H members and clubs across the province!

“Partnering with 4H British Columbia has always been an easy choice; we appreciate everything you teach the youth. This year’s 4H BC John Deere Gator lottery fundraiser was once again a success, the group has done a great job selling tickets and you should all be very proud of your hard work.” - PrairieCoast Equipment.

Canadians seek to unlock opportunities at Agritechnica farm credity canada November 13, 2015

By Neil Billinger Canada is well represented at the world’s largest trade fair for agricultural machinery and equipment in Hannover, Germany.

Nearly 60 Canadian companies are conducting business this week at Agritechnica, a bi-annual trade show that attracts 450,000 visitors from 88 countries. The majority are farm equipment manufacturers from Saskatchewan and Manitoba, but there are also companies from Alberta and Ontario.

About a dozen companies have their own displays with the remainder housed in one of three different Canadian pavilions. The largest one is led by Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership, a non-profit, membership-driven, government/ industry partnership designed to promote the growth of Saskatchewan’s export industry. The other two pavilions are co-ordinated by Manitoba Trade and Investment.

Rob Ziola, STEP’s senior director of manufacturing, says it can be daunting for a smaller company venturing into an international business trade show on their own.

and lay everything out in an easyto-participate manner for everyone and bring them under one roof,” Ziola says.

The Canadian flag is prominent because most buyers do not recognize provinces. STEP also hires seven interpreters who speak a total of 12 languages, including Russian, German, Spanish and French.

Saskatchewan’s large-scale tillage and seeding equipment attracts buyers from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus.

“Our large equipment fits there best, but we exhibit at Agritechnica because they come to this show in large numbers and it’s a convenient way to meet with them,” Ziola says.

The Russian and Ukrainian economies have been going through difficult times, so it is a challenge to estimate future sales.

“Most of our companies know that these economies are volatile and have their ups and downs,” Ziola says. “You have to stick with it and keep working with the distribution system in the market and hopefully things turn around in the next six to nine months.”

A growing number of Canadian farmers are also making the trip to Agritechnica. Some are there to

The Northern Horizon, November 20, 2015

On-farm safety training a great winter activity agri-news NOVEMBER, 2015

“It’s the time of year when some farmers take a step back from their hectic physical farm work and make assessments for the future,” says Kenda Lubeck, farm safety coordinator, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF). “Farming is a demanding and frequently hazardous occupation. Keeping safety top of mind is important for all farm owners and workers to make it home safely each evening. Be pro-active and use this winter to ensure next season’s farm work is injuryand incident-free.”

Now is the time to plan for training during the winter months. Some courses you might consider taking: First aid – this is a must for any farm. It is advisable for all workers to have some sort of first aid training, whether it be first aid on the farm, emergency first aid, standard first aid or higher. There are a few options to access training. St. John’s Ambulance has a great program and they are available toll free at 1-800-6657114.

Equipment operator’s training – this is particularly important for new and young farm workers. Equipment such as skid steers, loaders, and tractors are powerful and have the potential to severely injure workers.

Check online or look for courses in your area.

Chemical-related courses – farmers working with pesticides, ammonia and in the presence of sour gas will benefit from courses such as pesticide applicators, Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) or H2S Alive. Check with your chemical supply dealer for pesticide applicator training in your area. WHMIS training can be accessed online, while H2S courses are available through safety companies who specialize in oilfield safety courses.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) training – for those handling chemicals, respirator training will be beneficial. For anyone working from heights, a fall protection course is recommended.

Livestock safety – virtually any course involving livestock includes aspects of safety. For those using horses to tend cattle, perhaps a horsemanship or ranch hand course will help. Others to consider are stockman courses and horse/livestock hauling. Check with local agricultural societies, livestock clubs and organiza-

tions for upcoming clinics.

Machinery maintenance – well cared for machinery and equipment means increased safety during use.

Take a quick course in how to care for and properly maintain your equipment to decrease the risk of downtime due to machinery failure.

Fire extinguisher training – there are many types of fire extinguishers, and they can be intimidating to operate. It is a good idea to take this training before you need it.

Safety systems training – at the basic level, this type of training course will teach participants the value of a safety program and how to get started setting one up. There are many courses aimed at different industries; farmers should look for a generic course provided by a private consultant or a reputable postsecondary institution.

“Winter is a great time to pull out your farm safety plan – or develop one if you haven’t already – and decide what kind of training program your family members and employees should take,” says Lubeck “This can be formal training such as mentioned, or simply going over the plan you have in place along with any farm workplace protocols.”

In addition to training, take into consideration protocols for: • hazard assessment and control • record keeping • communications • emergency situations AF has recently developed FarmSafe Alberta – A Safety Planning Guide for Farms and Ranches.. This is a tool that farmers can use to create and implement a health and safety management system specific to their farming operation. For more information on the guide, or how to set up a FarmSafe Alberta workshop in your area, contact farm safety coordinator Laurel Aitken at 780-980-4230.

“Planning now for a safe and prosperous year ahead is a sound investment for the future,” says Lubeck.

For more information on farm safety visit the Alberta Farm Safety Program website.

Almost every motor vehicle owner knows that regular maintenance of their vehicle is vital to protect their investment and keep their vehicle running properly. Common sense says that if they don’t invest in regular oil changes and tune-ups, they will have to pay much more later on in engine repairs.

The same logic holds true when it comes to water well maintenance.

“Neglecting to maintain a well can be costly in the long run for a landowner,” says Chris Gerritsen, past president of the Alberta Water Well Drilling Association and an advocate for the Working Well program. “You can’t assume that a well is working properly just because water is coming out of the tap. With proper maintenance, the life of a well can be substantially increased. Total neglect on the other hand, can cost the landowner the well.”

With more than 40 years working as a licensed well driller in Alberta, Gerritsen has seen a lot of changes in the industry. “There are better ways to do things today and modern wells are safer than ever before,” he says. “But maintenance remains important – regardless of

the age of the well. Even though most people today are aware of the importance of maintaining their well, some still aren’t doing it.”

Under the Water Act, private well owners have a responsibility to protect their water wells and keep ground water resources healthy and clean for future generations. “Well owners need to understand that it is their responsibility to manage their well water properly,” says Jennifer Macpherson with Alberta Environment and Parks.

“If a well isn’t regularly maintained, it can get plugged up with minerals or become contaminated with bacteria. If you regularly measure and record water level readings, over time you’ll be able to see if the well’s productivity starts to decline and can have a licensed driller assess and repair the problem before it is too late. If it goes too far, it may become too costly or even impossible to rehabilitate.”

Most maintenance procedures can be performed by well owners at little or no cost, but some procedures require the assistance of a professional driller.

Whether it is taking water samples, measuring water levels, landscaping to manage runoff issues or shock chlori-

Funding Announced for Wheat Genomics Research agri-news NOVEMBER, 2015

nating a well, the old saying holds true – “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

The other truth is that the consequences of neglect will always catch up with you. Like the vehicle owner who doesn’t take the time to check oil in the engine of his car, a private well owner who doesn’t perform regular maintenance on his well may find that one day it simply doesn’t work anymore.

There is a lot to know about protecting and maintaining a water well. Well

owners can learn how to perform basic maintenance procedures and speak to professionals about specific concerns with their own wells at one of several free workshops offered throughout the province by the Working Well program.

The Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC), the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission and the Western Grains Research Foundation have announced a combined total investment of $3,582,992 over four years for a world-leading, Saskatchewan-based research project focused on advancing wheat genomics that will lead to better productivity and profitability for wheat farmers.

The $8.8-million project, titled Canadian Triticum Applied Genomics (CTAG2), is being led by Dr. Curtis Pozniak of the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development

Centre and Dr. Andrew Sharpe of the National Research Council Canada and will combine the expertise of genomic researchers and wheat breeders to improve genetic gain.

“This research will result in a valueadded breeding model in Western Canada,” says Kent Erickson, AWC Chairman. “By enhancing innovation in breeding techniques, scientists will be better equipped to develop high quality wheat varieties that result in better returns for farmers.”

The Government of Alberta is enhancing support for the development and use of sustainable agricultural practices within a diversified economy.

The Farm Stewardship Centre in Lethbridge will provide a renewed focus on applied research, evaluation and implementation of new methods and technology aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of farming and food production.

“Strengthening environmental stewardship practices is crucial to the responsible growth of a strong and sustainable agriculture sector that will help further diversify the Alberta economy. The staff at the centre will be working closely with producers, commodity groups and the research community to explore innovative approaches to how we grow food and care for the environment in this province.”

- Oneil Carlier, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry “The long-term success of the agriculture industry relies on Alberta continuing to show leadership in sustainable and environmentally responsible development. The Farm Stewardship Centre will be a tremendous resource for our agriculture producers to help them make informed decisions about how to best manage their operations.”

- Shannon Phillips, Minister of Environment and Parks Established in the 1980s, the Lethbridge research facility continues to evolve to meet the needs of the agriculture sector. Under its new mandate, the centre is undertaking projects that range from the assessment of greenhouse gas emissions linked to fertilizer to developing systems that improve water and energy use on farms.

The work at the centre will complement other government initiatives including Growing Forward 2, which are designed to support the development of a sustainable and competitive agriculture industry.

Through the federal-provincial Growing Forward 2 program, producers and agri-businesses have access to funding to support advances in animal health, food safety, market access, value-added industry development and environmental stewardship.

THE BIG BEND Blueberry Creek Roger Rymhs and Family

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

spent a considerable portion of May and June preparing the grounds for a Divisional track meet which Blueberry Creek would be hosting. In mid-June approximately 500 athletes from all the schools in the Division converged upon the school to demonstrate their athletic abilities. It was an exhausting day for all the organizers. By the end of June I had familiarized myself with the operations of the school and had learned a considerable amount about teaching.

On July 7 I married Betty (nee Haley). Now, at least I had help to move into our new home, a School Division trailer. The following two years were hectic, as they always are for a beginning teacher. Following my first complete year of teaching I assumed the principalship of the school. This, of course, meant additional assignment of tasks . During these two years my wife, Betty, worked as a nurse in the Central Peace Hospital.

In the summer of 1969 I decided to return to the University of Alberta to complete my Bachelor of Education program. With the patience and support (moral and financial) of my wife I received my Degree in the spring of 1971.

I resumed my former position at Blueberry Creek School on Sept. 1, 1971 and have remained here since.

In February of 1973, our first child was born.

Trisha is presently enrolled in grade 3. A couple of years later, in May of 1975 our second daughter, Deena, arrived. She is presently a member of the Blueberry Creek kindergarten class. Both daughters, during their younger years in particular, have assisted me considerably with “marking” student exercises and tests.

Many of my former students will certainly remember “strange” markings appearing over the sheets they had handed in to me for correction.

During the years the rural population has been constantly declining as family after family move away, and as families have fewer children. Today’s enrolment in grades 1-8 is a total of 76 students, approximately 60% of what it was in 1967. As the population of a community diminishes so does the feeling of community.

Although this trend is not unique to this community, I believe it is unfortunate that it is so.

It has been my decision to remain in the teaching profession because I believe few jobs are as rewarding as teaching is. A teacher watches the innocent, smiling, eager youngster entering the school for his first day of school, then 12 years later sees this same person as a young lady or man. Somehow a teacher feels partly responsible for a portion of what this young adult now is, and this is satisfying.

Since I began teaching in this area about 150 students have now completed their schooling. An unusually large portion of these have done extremely well academically, entering various professions.

Those not entering the professions have done equally well, in that all have become responsible citizens of this nation - the ultimate goal of any educational program. What could be more rewarding than knowing that somehow I contributed to these Box 56, Beaverlodge AB students achieving this Ged Willis: (cell) 780-814-4751 • Barb Willis: (cell) 780-814-3281 ultimate goal. willowviewauctions@xplornet.ca • www.willowviewauctions.net

the local area. It was while working on the last project, where I was expected to shovel gravel for 8 hours of night shift, that I decided that there must be more exciting and rewarding things to do. At this point I decided to enroll in the Education Faculty of the University of Alberta.

I attended full-time sessions of the U of A. beginning of Sept. of 1965. I then began my second year in 1966, completing it in mid-April of 1967. Upon my return to the Spirit River area, the Superintendent informed me that I would be interning at a place called Blueberry Life for me began in September, 1943, being born on Creek, beginning the first school day in May. a farmstead approximately 20 kilometres northeast of Although I had visited my sister residing in the same Rycroft, the youngest child of Mary and Dan Shmyr. general area I had paid little attention to anything other My early years were as they were for all rural children than the roadway to her home.

Temporary manure storage agri-news NOVEMBER 16, 2015

Temporary storage is a regulated management option that allows a producer to store manure in the field for a short period of time without requiring permits or additional testing.

“Temporary sites offer a number of advantages. Operators can avoid spreading on snow and frozen ground, can compost the manure, and can minimize the impact on road infrastructure,” says Chris Ullman, CFO (confined feeding operation) extension specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Red Deer. “However, they are often misunderstood by the public. That’s why it’s important to carefully consider where to locate temporary storage.”

Ullman says while the Agricultural Operation Practices Acts and Regulations (AOPA) does not require operators to register or permit a site, it does limit the length of time a location can be used, and includes setbacks operators must abide by. As well, run-off from the site must not leave the property or otherwise create an “inappropri-

ate disturbance.”

“In addition to the regulatory requirements, consider how your site and moving to that site will impact the community,” says Ullmann. “For transport to the site, review the safety and lighting of your equipment and avoid manure spills.”

“As well, choose the site in advance with awareness of regulated setbacks, the presence of sensitive environmental receptors (like spring run-off patterns) and safety issues, like the line of sight at an intersection, and public perception issues such as proximity to public gathering places or community centres.”

For more information on AOPA, manure management factsheets or specifics about the applicable regulations, contact the Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276) and ask to speak to a CFO extension specialist. To register a complaint about manure handling or an improperly placed storage, contact the 24 hour response line at 1-866-3836722.
