By Richard Kamchen Prairie winter wheat acreage is likely on the upswing this year, and clement autumn weather is allowing the crop to get off to a good start.

Western Canadian winter wheat seedings could be up five to eight per cent from a year ago, predicts Bruce Burnett, G3 Canada’s director of weather and market analysis. Last year, Prairie winter wheat area was slashed to 665,000 acres from 1.13 million in 2013.

The increase will likely be concentrated in Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan, areas where spring-seeded crops had been harvested relatively early, he says. Burnett notes that areas where harvest operations were

late don’t typically plant winter wheat.

Winter wheat emergence in western Canada has been good, and moisture was adequate for the crop to get germinated and established, even in previously dry areas.

“We’ve had some reasonably good rains this fall and temperatures have been above normal, so that’s helped with crop development,” Burnett says.

An open fall gives winter wheat adequate time to undergo two important physiological changes – cold acclimation and vernalization (plant’s ability to seed as a result of prolonged cold weather) – and build up its energy reserves sufficiently to allow for a quick start in spring, says Manitoba Agriculture cereal crops specialist Pam de Rocquigny.

She says Manitoba growers were able to seed into good moisture conditions, leading to quick and even emergence.

The Prairies overall are in a better position with soil moisture than a year ago, although some farmers in northern and eastern Saskatchewan are concerned about too much moisture, Burnett says. They’d welcome the milder, drier weather promised by an El Niño event, but they aren’t guaranteed to get it, he says.

A strong El Niño is forecast to persist into the upcoming winter, but Burnett says for Western Canada, the farther north and east you go, the better the chance of experiencing normal to abovenormal snow cover and typical temperatures.

Taking a Byte out of Cattle Rationing

With Barry Yaremcio (M.Sc., P. Ag.), Beef & Forage Specialist at the Agriculture and Forestry Ag-Info Centre in Stettler, AB

What is CowBytes?

CowBytes is a ration balancing software package that has been available to the beef cattle industry since 1990. The software has been revised five times and the recently released version is the culmination of three years of collaborative work and input from livestock specialists, feeds specialists and researchers across Western Canada.

It is the product of a development team co-chaired by Barry Yaremcio, Beef and Forage Specialist at the Alberta Agriculture and Forestry Ag-Info Centre in Stettler and Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Provincial Feeds Specialist Bryan Doig.

CowBytes is a popular ration balancing program with its 2,300 registered users representing beef cattle producers, livestock specialists and individuals working in the feeds industry. This program is also used as a teaching and research tool at a number of colleges and universities.

CowBytes 5.3.1 is fully compatible with Microsoft® XP, Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. Numerous modifications were applied to create a more streamlined and “user friendly” software. Current users of CowBytes will find the upgrade to Version 5 a seamless process. It retains a familiar look and is compatible with ration files and feed tables from the previous version.

wide necessarily. But we’d certainly take it if we could,” Burnett says.

Winter wheat production is in recovery mode after quality and yield problems a couple years ago put some producers off from growing the crop. Last year, harvest operations were behind and fields too wet in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

But Burnett notes winter wheat seeding ebbs and flows. Plantings most recently peaked in 2008 at 1.52 million acres, but in 2004, it wasn’t even half that. And back in 1986, winter wheat area reached 1.42 million acres, but the 1990s saw a struggle to even reach 300,000 acres, with the lowest year seeing only 130,000 acres planted in 1994.

Future of ag looking up despite weakening economic forecast farm credity canada OCTOBER 30, 2015

The latest Bank of Canada (BoC) Monetary Policy Report, released this past Wednesday, paints a cautionary picture of the economic landscape facing Canadians. It appears all things economic aren’t that bad… or at least as bad as they might have been.

Here are the report’s highlights with a note on the implications for Canadian producers.

A weakening forecast The Canadian economy will improve, but will take time. Real GDP growth is projected to be 1.1 per cent in 2015 and 2 per cent in 2016.

Oil and energy exports continue to face price pressures as a result of excess global supply and ongoing production. Energy-sector provinces, hit the hardest since oil’s free fall, will grow more slowly as the sectors face continued drops in investment.

Inflation hovers in the 1.5 to 1.7 per cent range; the Bank expects its target of 2 per cent to be reached only later in 2017 when GDP growth resumes its normal pace.

Finding strength in weakness Despite the weaknesses noted in the report, there’s room for optimism.

U.S. household spending continues to strengthen.

The U.S. is Canada’s single largest export market, so this is very (very) good news.

Generally, emerging market economies are expected to regain some of the vigor lost in 2015.

The current turbulence in China may not be as troublesome as predicted for global markets as their food demand continues to strengthen Interest rates remain low and stimulate growth.

A low Canadian dollar has helped export-depen-

dent (non-resource) sectors.

The Monetary Policy Report’s implications for ag Agriculture commodity prices are – no surprise – expected to remain lower than the highs observed between 2010 and 2014. Agricultural production has been stronger than expected in many producing countries.

The strong USD is good for Canadian agriculture for three reasons: the stronger USD doesn’t seem to have had a significant negative impact on the purchasing power of buyers in ag markets. The commodities Canada exports are priced in USD and can lead to higher revenues for Canadian producers. Canada can also enjoy a better position in global markets with exports that are relatively more competitive against U.S. exports.

The Bank’s downward adjustment in Chinese economic projections (growth of just over 6 per cent in 2016 and 2017) is expected as China transitions to a consumption-based economy. And its overall growth continues to be among the world’s strongest – and, most important to agriculture, so does personal income growth. That’s a positive for global food demand.

Employment in sectors that typically provide competition for agriculture (mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction industries) fell 9 per cent in the last 12 months, as did wages. This may ease pressure on Canadian farm operations in the year ahead to find and keep labour.

Coming soon: FCC Ag Economics: A 2015 Look at Global Trade examines the relative impact exchange rate fluctuations have had on Canadian export values of livestock, crops and manufactured food products.

Moisture Situation Update October 28 agri-news NOVEMBER, 2015

Over the last half of October, much of the north-half of the province received at least 3 to 5 mm of rain, enough to cause some harvest delays for many. However, overall these amounts are still considered to be near to below average for this time of year. In contrast, for most areas south of Red Deer, conditions were quite dry over the past two weeks.

September marked a distinct

turnaround in weather patterns for much of the province, with the arrival of the generally cool and wet conditions which have prevailed until now. Since the beginning of September, most areas in the province have experienced at least near normal accumulations of precipitation.

Areas lying south of Edmonton, as well as through the north central Peace Region, were wetter than average with some lands seeing a fall this wet on average less than once in six to 12 years. Overall, at

Ashford 30

least near normal precipitation patterns province-wide have led to a marked improvement in soil moisture reserves, with most areas south of Edmonton estimated to have at near normal or wetter soil moisture conditions.

In contrast, north of the Yellowhead Highway across the province, soil moisture reserves are generally still well below normal, estimated to range from one in six to 12 year lows with several pockets of one in 12 to 25 year lows.

The people behind the program - Licensed Water Well Drillers agri-news NOVEMBER 2, 2015

Mark Holland has had his journeyman’s certificate as a water well driller for nine years, but he helped drill his first well long before he began any apprenticeship program. Holland Water Wells Inc. was founded in 1975 by Mark’s father, Ed Holland and Mark grew up in the business. “There were times growing up when the front seat of my father’s rig was my daycare,” says Holland. “I can’t even remember how old I was when I first watched my dad drill a water well.”

Over the years, Holland has seen a lot of water wells and knows the ins and outs of well construction, installation and repair like few others. He is the vice president of the Alberta Water Well Drilling Association and lends his expertise to the Working Well program, a program designed to provide well owners with the information and tools they need to properly care for their wells. He sat on the steering committee that developed the program and currently serves as a local presenter at free workshops offered to the province’s private well owners.

“Water wells are not at the forefront of most people’s minds,” admits Holland. “Some people don’t even know where their water well is and they’ve never tested the water to make sure it’s safe to drink.”

One of the biggest challenges is educating homeowners that it’s their responsibility to maintain their well and regularly test the water quality. Old wells that are not maintained and which are not tested can not only put a family at risk, they can contaminate an entire aquifer and ruin the water for other ground water users.

Most Working Well workshops include the participation of a licensed water well driller that is local to the area. “Alberta is such a diverse province geologically and no two wells are exactly the same,” explains Holland. “It helps to have a local driller at these presentations who is familiar with the unique challenges of drilling in a particular area. Drillers deal with all of the things discussed in the workshops on a day-to-day basis and they can answer technical questions that might be a challenge for others.”

Holland has been in the drilling business for a long time and he’s seen a lot of changes over the years, but he believes the Working Well program is one of the best developments that have happened in the industry.

“I like my job,” he says. “The biggest challenge for me and other drillers is trying to educate well owners about the importance of maintaining and testing their wells, and properly capping off old wells. As a well owner, you don’t own the water; you own the right to use the resource.” There’s a lot of information out

Balancing it Out

Grains this past week turned its attention to more demand and weather headlines as North American harvest pressures are starting to subside with the large majority of the crop now in the bin. The planting pace down in Brazil of soybeans continues to accelerate, with some of the previously drier regions finally getting rains (albeit they will continue to need good showers moving forward to make the proposed 100-million tonne soybean crop!). Most analysts believe that the Australian wheat crop is going to come in somewhere between A.B.A.R.E.S.’ estimate of 24 million tonnes and the U.S.D.A.’s call for 27 million, suggesting that El Nino rhetoric being prophesized will have little effect on the crop in the Land Down Undda. On that note, little rain is on the horizon for Black Sea crops but some good showers are in the long-term forecast for the U.S. southern plains so things are sort of being balanced out in that regard.

The Canadian Ag Ministry increased its pulse crop production estimates from its September numbers to almost 6 million tonnes, but that’s still 9% below last year’s 6.584 million-tonne crop of peas, lentils, mustard, beans, canaryseed, and sunflowers.

Specifically, dry pea production was increased by 8% from its previous estimate to 3.156 million tonnes (still 17% below last year’s 3.81 million tonne crop) while lentils production was increased by 3.8% from September’s estimate to 2.162M tonnes (up 9% from 2014/15). On the demand side of the equation, strong pulls from both the domestic and export markets equals tighter Canadian ending stocks with lentils and peas carryout dropping 27% and 77% respectively from 2014/15 to just 265,000 and 100,000 tonnes remaining by July 2016. What’s this mean? More potential for prices to run as Indian demand continues to be strong and Turkish buying has increased lately. That being said, some speculation is happening on whether or not India will be able to produce sufficient supplies in their rabi crop (to be harvested in February/March), given the dry conditions they’re currently planting into. With El Nino weather pressure still on the horizon, I think that it might be a little early to be looking to aggressively price out new crop pulses.

Coming back to Canada, with the crop in the bin, the attention seems to solely be on grain marketing.

Wheat basis levels dropped into negative territory this week as buyers are pulling back on purchasing after record deliveries in September and despite the Canadian Loonie hovering below 76 cents.

Producers who were able to lock in basis levels that were more than a dollar above the Minneapolis price are sure to be able to take advantage of higher winter & spring prices that most analysts are forecasting (including yours truly – although, don’t expect that aforementioned 50% move in the next 6-9 months, let alone half of that). Overall, some good demand data points are helping support grain prices from the gluttony of the supply that is out there, which is why we’re seeing more than a sideways trade than anything right now.

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!

NO DRIP

By Neil Billinger It was a lengthy harvest, but for most Saskatchewan farmers the end result was generally better than expected.

The year started with good topsoil moisture that was quickly depleted by dry conditions in May, June and early July. Saskatoon had the driest May ever with only 0.4 millimetres of rain.

“Certainly the more west you went in the province, the worse things were,” says Shannon Friesen, a cropping management specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture. “We had many reports of thin stands and a lot of the canola was short.”

Other areas relied on healthy subsoil moisture reserves and scattered thundershowers.

“It held the crops in while we had those hot days in June and until we got some rain in mid-July,” says Garth Burns, a farmer from Drake, located 140 kilometres southeast of Saskatoon.

There was no shortage of rain after that, with some locations getting more than 125 millimetres at the end of July.

“Everybody assumed the rains were too late, but they actually did some good,” says Swift Current-area farmer Robert Horne. “Any of the crops that were still growing at that time, I think benefited quite a bit.”

Horne says peas, his earliest crop, only recorded half of normal yields. Lentils were just below average while hard red spring wheat had some late filling to produce a slightly below average crop.

It was a better year for Burns who says canola and pea yields were above average. Wheat was slightly below average.

Saskatchewan Agriculture released its final crop report of the year on Thursday. There was plenty of yield variability depending on location and rainfall.

The average provincial canola yield was 34 bushels an acre, hard red spring wheat 37 bushels an acre, durum averaged 38 bushels per acre, barley was 59 bushels an acre, peas were 31 bushels an acre with lentils averaging 1,293 pounds per acre.

The dry spring and early summer took a toll on hay yields. Production on dry land was below average at 1.1 tons per acre for alfalfa, 1.1 tons per acre for alfalfa/brome hay and 0.9 ton per acre for wild hay.

Topsoil moisture conditions have rebounded following rain in late July, August and September. Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as nine per cent surplus, 85 per cent adequate and six per cent short.

A detailed region-by-region version of Saskatchewan Agriculture’s final crop report of the year can be viewed online.

Winter Feeding Programs for Beef Cows and Calves Part 1 in a three-part series

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (Agri-Facts, Agdex 420/52-3, 2007) Before making management decisions about feeding beef cattle and calves, producers need to answer the following questions: • How much feed is available on the farm?

• What is the quality of the feed?

• What is the cost of purchasing feed and supplements?

• Do the cows need to gain weight during the winter?

• Are the calves going into a feedlot or back onto grass?

• What is the required weight gain from the calves?

• How will interest rates and overhead costs affect break-evens?

Plan a winter feeding program well in advance. Use the tools available to sample feed, and obtain feed test results.

A balanced ration minimizes costs and improves animal performance.

Winter Feeding Programs for Growing Calves There are basically two different types of winter feeding programs for calves.

Backgrounding rations “hold back” calves or limit weight gains to 1.25 to 1.5 pounds per day. This type of ration is appropriate for calves going back on grass or to “grow out” animals before being placed on full feed. Calves should be fed to develop a good frame to take advantage of the more economical compensatory gain. Buyers discount over-conditioned or “fleshy” calves.

r001949948

Full feed rations are designed to obtain high rates of gain. This program should only be used when the calves remain in a feedlot-type program until slaughter.

Many producers now aim for a daily gain of 2.25 to 2.75 pounds for medium (500 to 800) weight calves, with gains increasing as the animal gets closer to finished weight. Large frame, well-grown calves have the ability to gain weight rapidly and still obtain acceptable grades at slaughter.

Determine costs before feeding Know your target market before your feeding program starts. Animals not meeting the intended “target market” will be discounted.

Home-grown feed costs should be priced at fair market value.

The largest variable cost of production is feed. Shop around to reduce the costs of purchased hay, grains, supplements, minerals and vitamins. Ask for tenders from various suppliers for purchased products.

Specify volumes required and nutrient profiles for each product. Locking in a purchase price reduces your exposure to cost risk.

Are your assumptions for feed costs realistic? If your feed and yardage cost estimates are incorrect, the break-even costs are affected.

Opportunities to reduce feed costs If alternative feedstuffs are available (by-products of the milling and brewing industries or screening-type products), consider their use to reduce feed costs.

By-product feeds may not be acceptable as a complete replacement for traditional feeds, but can be included as a portion of the ration.

Establish the value of the by-product feed by comparing the nutrient content of the by-product feed against traditional feeds on a dry matter basis. Develop sample rations to establish acceptable feeding levels of the by-product feed(s) and traditional feeds required to meet the nutritional needs of the animal.

Damaged crops salvaged from drought or hail situations can be used in a feeding program. Cereal crops, canola or hay can all be used, but there are limitations on the total amount, depending on quality.

High nitrate levels or high sulfur content in canola salvage crops must be taken into consideration when developing the ration.

Testing the feed is highly recommended.

Producers should take care when considering the use of a “cure all” product in the ration. If a product appears too good to be true, it usually is. Obtain advice from a qualified nutritionist to verify promotional claims.

Some costs are constant regardless of rate of gain. Interest rates, overhead costs and utilities are there for the entire feeding period. These costs all affect the final break-even price.

Feeding losses and feeding efficiencies The rations in this document provide recommendations for the amount of feed the animal should consume to meet individual requirements. There is no adjustment for feed wastage, inclusion of spoiled feed that is rejected by the animals or feeds that have higher than “normal” moisture content. Increasing feeding rates to compensate for waste or spoilage increases total feed costs.

What to feed and how much Growing calves have some of the highest nutrient requirements of any animal on the farm. Use the best quality forage available as the base for the calf ration. In most cases, some grain should be included in the ration to increase the energy concentration of the diet. A protein supplement may be necessary if inadequate protein is available in the ration. If possible, feed the poorer or medium quality forages to mature pregnant cows.

Vitamin A, D and E Vitamins should be included daily in the calf grain mix or silage and force fed if possible. If vitamins are injected, follow label information for use. Calves should receive 30,000 to 40,000 IU (International Units) of vitamin A per day, 3,000 to 4,000 IU per day of vitamin D and 200 to 300 IU per day of vitamin E. The lower amount is recommended for light calves and for modest weight gains.

Use the higher level when rapid weight gains are expected, especially for heavy calves.

Provided that the total amount of vitamin A meets the daily requirements, it can be fed daily, weekly, monthly or injected once every two or three months.

It is difficult to find an injectable vitamin E product with sufficient concentration to meet a 2 to 3 month requirement. Feeding supplemental vitamin E in the grain or silage as part of the daily ration is another option.

Minerals Many calf rations have additional mineral supplementation provided for “insurance” purposes when feed analysis results are not available. Whenever possible, the minerals should be mixed in with the grain or in the silage. Feeding minerals free-choice is the least preferred method.

Cushing’s disease in horses

ness.

Once PPID is suspected, there are blood tests that can be done to diagnose the disease. Mostly we test the blood for resting ACTH levels. If the blood ACTH level is high we suspect Cushing’s.

There is a reliable treatment called pergolide. This medication acts on the dopamine receptors in the brain decreasing the high levels of pituitary hormones.

Once used in humans for Parkinson’s disease, this drug has been proven to be effective in studies and has quickly become the treatment of choice. There is a new pergolide formulation available in Canada called Prascend®. In recent studies using Prascend®, 76 percent of horses began showing improvement with clinical signs within 90 days. After 6 months 89 percent of PPID horses had shed out their long hair and showed significant improvement. The only complication noted was that the occasionally patients had a temporarily decreased appetite. Working with your veterinarian, the appropriate dose can be determined balancing effectiveness and appetite. Prascend® comes as a tablet that is given orally every day for the rest of the horse’s life.

Veterinarians are excited about having this extra tool in their arsenal to combat Cushing’s disease. Early recognition and treatment can increase the quality of life, and overall health of our equine companions.

By Dr. Christa Harder Cushing’s disease is a result of a dysfunction of the pituitary gland, a small hormone secreting structure located on the underside of the brain. In people and dogs it is usually caused by a hormone secreting tumor on the pituitary. In horses, a portion of the gland becomes enlarged and produces more hormones than necessary. Cushing’s, also known as pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), is one of the most common diseases in horses over 15 years of age.

However, once thought of as an old horse disease new research is showing horses as young 5 years old being affected by Cushing’s disease and simple changes such as decreased athletic performance change in attitude and lethargy can be signs of early onset PPID. Why horses develop PPID is unclear however it is known ponies and fat, easy-keeping horses are at higher risk of developing the disease. The pituitary gland secretes several different hormones which control numerous bodily processes. One major hormone secreted is ACTH. In PPID this abundance of

ACTH over stimulates the adrenal glands which in turn, secrete too much cortisol. Cortisol is a natural corticosteroid also called stress hormone. Along with ACTH other hormonal imbalances account for the many signs of PPID. The most common clinical signs include a long, thick, curly hair coat which is slow to shed in the springtime. Long guard hairs under the belly and chin are also common. There is also excessive sweating, muscle wasting, abdominal enlargement (potbelly), and abnormal fat deposition. You can often see their ribs even though they have fat deposits around their tail head, crest of their neck, and around eyes. This tell-tale look is typical and sometimes just written off as old age. Other signs include slow healing wounds, increased drinking and urination, and stubborn infections. The most serious clinical sign or complication of the disease is a persistent low grade laminitis or founder. This is thought to be because of elevated insulin levels and a metabolic syndrome that results.

Laminitis causes numerous hoof problems and lame-

The Banff Pork Seminar takes place from January 12-14, 2016, with a return to its historic home at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. The theme for the event is “Honouring the Past, Embracing the Future.”

“We couldn’t be more excited and pleased to be ‘coming home’ with a fresh program of leading-edge topics and top speakers, for this milestone edition of our conference,” says Dr. Ruurd Zijlstra, Banff Pork Seminar co-program director.

“We are fortunate to work in a vibrant, resilient, progressive industry that has come through challenging times to embrace a new and exciting future. The Banff Pork Seminar is a showcase of ground-breaking knowledge, technological advances and innovative approaches that will help our industry lead and thrive in the new world of food production.”

The 2016 edition marks the 45th year pork industry delegates from across Canada and around the world have been coming to the Banff Pork Seminar, says Zijlstra. “We have completely refreshed the program, building on updates of the past several years, to offer the best of what delegates have come to expect along with new features such as more interactive and panel sessions.”

Plenary speakers include world-renowned animal welfare expert Dr. Temple Grandin of Colorado State University, Maple Leaf Foods president and chief executive officer Michael McCain, and Joe Schwarcz of McGill University’s office for science & society.

Breakout sessions tackle biosecurity, antibiotics, feed cost & net income, new technologies, hot topics shaping the industry, and more. Full program details and registration information is available at the seminar website www. banffpork.ca.

FREE DELIVERY & SET UP

Increases in propionic acid production in the rumen improve overall energy utilization by the animal. The efficiency of gain is improved or the ability of the animal to obtain a larger percentage of the energy available from a lower quality (high forage) ration is improved.

When feeding a high grain ration, the effect of the ionophore is to reduce feed intake and maintain average daily average gain. In a high forage ration where minimal or no grain is fed, the total feed intake remains the same, but the average daily gain is improved. Follow label directions when feeding an ionophore.

Ionophores can be used as a coccidiosis preventative, but not as a treatment.

When formulating rations, consider the following • The first limiting nutrient in a ration is the one that determines overall growth or production of an animal.

It is of little use to supply any additional nutrient to a ration until the deficiency in the first limiting nutrient is resolved. If the problem is not clear, get assistance to help solve the problem. In many cases, energy is the first limiting nurient in a ration.

• Roughage quality affects the needs for supplemental energy and protein. Immature forages typically contain more energy and protein than over-mature forage. Timing of cutting has a larger effect on forage quality than variety.

• In cold weather, for every 5°C below -20°C, increase the grain by about 1 kg (2.2 lb) over and above the levels the animals normally receive.

• Hay or silage in poor condition (moldy, heat damaged or rained damaged prior to harvest) reduces quality. Any form of spoilage reduces energy and protein content in the feed. If the forage has heated and smells like tobacco or is brown to dark brown, an Acid Detergent Insoluble Nitrogen (ADIN) test is required to determine the amount of protein that is tied to the fibre and is not available to the animal. In some situations, extra protein may be needed to meet animal requirements. If feeding damaged feeds, seek help to balance the rations.

• Greenfeed and cereal silage are normally lower in protein than an alfalfa grass hay or silage. Most growing rations based on greenfeed or cereal silage require supplemental protein.

• High quality legume forages, if consumed at adequate levels, can supply adequate energy and protein in a growing ration to achieve gains in excess of 1.1 lb per day, without supplemental grain.

• Grass hay is usually lower in energy and protein than mixed legume grass hay. It is usually necessary to feed grain and a protein supplement with grass hay.

• Grains high in protein (wheat, peas, lentils, chick peas) will reduce the need for a protein supplement.

These high protein grains are also high energy feed and will be digested rapidly. There are limits to the amount that can be fed.

Rich Vesta, a man with a five-decade strong reputation in the meat business, and his sons Christopher and Jeremy are set to open Harmony Beef Company this fall.

Polaris Introduces the All-New GEM®

We’ve also added more comfort and safety features to provide an even better experience for both rider and driver, with the added benefit of just $.03 per mile cost of ownership.”

GEM vehicles provide the versatility to go anywhere – indoors, outdoors, streets or sidewalks. GEM’s premium safety features including high-back forward-facing seats, 3-pt. seat belts, an automotive glass windshield, and LED

In addition to battery options, all GEM vehicles are fully customizable to enhance comfort, convenience and productivity. In-windshield defrost, electronic power steering, integrated doors and a full range of rear carrier options are just a few of the factory-installed and warranty backed options available with a GEM. The GEM eL XD is the first vehicle of its kind to offer a recessed bed option to lower loading height and maximize hauling capability.

With its rugged build, the ability to haul over fourteen-hundred pounds, and the wide variety of accessories, this vehicle delivers a smart alternative to traditional transportation options.

Discover why the all-new GEM is a smarter way to move. Visit your authorized Polaris GEM dealer or http:// www.polaris.com/en-us/gem-electriccar for more information and to build and price the new GEM. Shipping will begin this December.

signal lights provide drivers and riders increased confidence. With a maximum speed of 25 mph, GEM vehicles are legal to drive on streets in most states and provinces, typically on roads marked up to 35 mph. The optional RiderX™ app provides free access to maps of nearby residential roads, helping you plan your trip as well as track your vehicle’s performance.

To provide even more driver confidence, the new GEMs include Smart Power. Smart Power matches the power to the task, combining an efficient electrical system and a right-sized motor, with the ability to choose the best combination of battery and charge options.

In addition to more traditional battery options, GEM is the first vehicle in the industry to offer a warranty-backed Li-Ion battery. Not only does Li-Ion dramatically improve the distances you can cover – up to three times the range – you can also expect two-to-threetimes the battery cycles. This means in the entire life of your GEM, you may

AGCO announces WR9800 Series SP Windrower RearSteer Option and 2200 Series Large Square Baler ProCut™ Option DULUTH, Ga. (Sept. 1, 2015) — AGCO is bringing exceptional speed and efficiency to operators with updates to the WR9800 Series SP Windrower and the 2200 Series large square baler.

The WR9800 Series now offers a RearSteer option, giving operators more on-road benefits like greater ease of transportation, best-in-class speed and enhanced stability at higher speeds.

The 2200 Series now offers a ProCut Option with the models 2250, 2270 and 2270XD, giving operators the capacity

they need to keep up with the growing demand of increased feeding capacity and more consistent cutting, even in higher-moisture crops.

Operators can anticipate the following WR9800 Series improvements: •Enhanced operators’ ability to tow a head from one field to the next and drive faster without a head attached, eliminating the need to haul it on a trailer •Tow draper head along at speeds up to 20 mph or up to 24.5 mph without a

header •Improved ease of use with “unhook and go,” eliminating the need to mount weight on the front Operators can anticipate the following ProCut updates: •New, wider rotor tooth design for more consistent cut lengths that are selectable •Hydraulically adjustable drop down and slide-out knife bed drawer, improving serviceability and eliminating the need to climb under the machine to

replace parts •A “V” shaped pattern feed rotor design with a 25.5-inch diameter and 10 percent faster rotor speed for improved crop feeding and baling capacity •New serrated design ProCut knives with the 2250 model at 17 knives and the 2270/2270XD model at 26 knives.

All models produce a 1.5 inch cut length

Bob Dylan “If I wasn’t Bob Dylan, I’d probably think that ‘Bob Dylan’ has a lot of answers, too.” - Bob Dylan

The Vestas purchased a share of the vacant plant in fall 2013, and found key roles for both sons in the operation of the world-class facility.

Christopher had graduated from St. Norbert College in Wisconsin in 2004 with a double major in business and economics, and went on to work with his father as Director of Quality Assurance for meat processor Packerland and JBS North America.

Jeremy graduated from Northwestern University in Chicago in 2008, with a major in economics and a minor in transportation and logistics. He spent five years with Bunge Global AgriBusiness, working his way up to Senior Rail Corn Trader.

“I had the opportunity to work with the best corn and soybean traders in the world,” Jeremy explains. “Once the family holding company decided to invest in this beef plant, I felt it was the best time for me to join the family business.”

Jeremy’s financial expertise means he’s first to spend time in Balzac.

“Dad and I have been at the plant every single week since renovations started,” he says. “I’m handling all the purchasing and finance until we get a controller here.”

Since the Vestas elected not to assign themselves job titles and all business decisions are made jointly, communication is key.

“We talk to each other every day. Pamela is also a great supporter – we bounce everything off of her,” Rich says.

“Jeremy understands finance and markets, and I have more experience with operations and IT,” Christopher explains. “Between the two of us, we can solve almost anything. And if we can’t figure it out, we have other resources – Dad being number one. Working as a team is one of the greatest strengths we have.”

“Dad has a history of excellence in the industry,” Jeremy adds. “My brother and I plan to leverage our father’s track record and his unique ability to get more out of a plant.”

One of the ways they’ll accomplish this is by motivating and inspiring their employees. “Getting to know and understand our employees is very important,” Christopher explains. “For example, we had a troubled plant on the (U.S.) east coast with predominantly Hispanic staff. We talked to them personally, in Spanish, to resolve the issue.”

“Our employees are equals to us in the business. Every role is crucial for our success, and these people are very close to being part of our family,” Jeremy adds.

Although neither of the younger Vestas expected a career in agriculture, they both see plenty of opportunity in the sector. “Agriculture is a complex business,”

Christopher says. “I’m grateful I was given this opportunity. If you’re willing to work hard and be dedicated, it’s a very rewarding field.”

Jeremy believes that commodity markets are not the same as they were 40 years ago, and it’s a chance for young farmers and agribusiness operators to shine.

“Markets are more dynamic. We’re not dealing with commodities that move only a quarter of a per cent a day anymore, and the way you made money in agriculture 20 years ago isn’t the way you’ll make money today. Young people with new ideas can help navigate this.”

The brothers also recognize it’s important for operators to acquire a global perspective.

“It’s a great big world, and it’s increasingly important to have experience outside your field. What’s happening during trade talks in Geneva is just as important as the canola yields on your farm,” Jeremy says.

Intellectual curiosity and continuous learning aren’t just for the younger generation, according to Rich. “I’m having the most fun I’ve ever had in my career, because I’m working with young people who challenge me every day.”

The Vesta family is confident Harmony Beef will serve the industry well, producing commodity beef for the first six months and then switching to high-value branded and differentiated beef products.

“This plant is a starting point for Christopher and me,” Jeremy says. “We expect to succeed and grow, and hope we can effect positive change in beef production and the markets.”

(26 Aug, 2015) RACINE, Wis. — Tough field conditions require tough tillage tools. The new Case IH TrueTandem 375 disk harrow — featuring a pull frame with heavy-walled tubing, a spring-cushioned hitch, 24-inch Earth Metal® blades and a new mounted TigerPaw™ Crumbler® option — delivers a new standard for ruggedness and agronomics.

“Saturated soils and heavy, stubborn crop residue this year have reminded producers about the importance of crop residue management and soil tilth,” said Chris Lursen, Case IH Tillage marketing manager. “Our new True-Tandem 375 disk harrow helps improve soil tilth on every front, from crop residue management to reduced surface compaction and thorough soil mixing.”

The new Case IH True-Tandem™ 375 disk harrow gives farmers a flexible year-round tillage tool for a wide range of soil types and moisture conditions.

Case IH Agronomic Design℠ helps make the True-Tandem 375 the best-inclass multipurpose tandem disk, Lursen said. Building on the legacy of Case IH True-Tandem design, blades in the rear gangs track between the blades on the front gangs for a true full-width cut, leaving no uncut gaps. That’s important, whether slicing through crop residue in the fall or taking out an early weed flush before spring planting.

The True-Tandem 375 gives producers a flexible year-round tillage tool for a wide range of soil types and moisture conditions. Best of all, it offers flex-

JD and the Climate Corporation expand options

Case IH True-Tandem™ 375 disk harrow

Deere to acquire Precision Planting; The Climate Corporation, a subsidiary of Monsanto, to gain connectivity to John Deere equipment MOLINE, IL and SAN FRANCISCO, CA (November 3, 2015) – Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) and The Climate Corporation, a subsidiary of Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON), have signed definitive agreements for Deere to acquire the Precision Planting LLC equipment business and to enable exclusive near real-time data connectivity between certain John Deere farm equipment and the Climate FieldView platform. The agreements represent the industry’s first and only near real-time in-cab wireless connection to John Deere equipment by a third party.

“To maximize the value of digital agriculture, farmers need solutions for simple and seamless collection of infield agronomic data,” said Mike Stern, president and chief operating officer for The Climate Corporation. “As a result of these milestone agreements, farmers will experience the fastest, most frequent and highest resolution third-party connectivity between John Deere’s equipment and the Climate FieldView platform.”

John May, president, agricultural solutions and chief information officer at Deere, said, “The agreements we are announcing allow John Deere to extend the range of retrofit options available from Precision Planting to many more products and into new geographies.

John Deere strengthens its position as the most open platform in the industry both in our equipment and the cloud-

based data management solution known as the John Deere Operations Center.”

Under the terms of the agreements, Deere will purchase Precision Planting while Climate will retain the digital agriculture portfolio that has been integrated into the Climate FieldViewTM platform. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the relevant antitrust authorities to the extent required.

Stern said, “Our agreements enable farmers to combine the industry-leading technology of John Deere equipment with Climate FieldViewTM, the platform that offers farmers the broadest equipment connectivity in the industry backed by data science. This connectivity allows farmers to collect and directly share data to the Climate cloud,

enables data visualization in the cab and supports the development of customized data science-driven insights.”

“This strategic acquisition expands the John Deere precision agriculture business and accelerates our momentum as a market leader,” May said. “Strategic use of information is an important factor in successful agriculture. Today’s actions demonstrate John Deere’s ongoing investments to enhance the product and service solutions we offer our customers.”

The companies said customers will have the option to share their current and historical agronomic data between the John Deere Operations Center and the Climate FieldViewTM platform and seamlessly execute agronomic prescriptions with John Deere equipment.

spring pressure applied coil-tine harrow to help produce more-uniform clod sizing and residue distribution The Case IH True-Tandem™ 375 disk harrow paired with the Case IH Steiger® 620 Quadtrac® tractor gives producers a powerful seed-bed-prep combination.

“Our emphasis on delivering agronomic advantages really shines in the True-Tandem 375,” Lursen added. “It provides better residue cutting, sizing and distribution into the soil. Yet, it accomplishes that with a smoother finish out the back for a high-quality seed bed.”

The True-Tandem is available in working widths from 22 to 37 feet so producers can choose a size to match most tractors. Producers can use it alone or in combination with other types of tillage operations to achieve soil conditions for uniform crop emergence and development.

“Since the 1970s, Case IH has led the industry in tandem-disk technology,” Lursen said. “With its flexibility and durability, the new True-Tandem 375 can enhance the tillage program for nearly any size and type of operation.”

44 The Northern Horizon, November 6, 2015

On the open road

A ride through history Borne in St. Ulric, QC on December 10th 1879, Jacob DeRosier would move to Massachusetts at the age of four and went on to be one of the winningest motorcycle racers in history.

The wiry DeRosier started his racing career riding bicycles. In 1898 he got the opportunity to ride on one of the new French pace bikes owned by Henri Fournier.

They were large-engined twowheelers that were used for pacing bicycles in an effort to help the riders achieve faster speeds. Fournier agreed to let DeRosier try one and he demonstrated so much skill that he was hired to ride the machines at bicycle races in Paris.

In 1901, Jake who was considered one of the top cycle pacers in the US, met the co owner of Indian Motorcycles, Oscar Hedstrom. He was offered a job and a motorcycle to race.

DeRosier worked for Indian for a short time, but ended up becoming a factory sponsored board track racer.

DeRosier had not only won the National Federation of Americas Motorcycles Championship in 1908, but held every FAM speed record there was to hold in 1911.

It is rumoured that his departure from riding Indian Motorcycles was

Part 6

as a result of George Hendee being disappointed in DeRosier’s showing at the Isle of Man TT in early 1911. As a result, Jake DeRosier ended up riding for Excelsior.

Excelsior’s V-twin, pocket-valve motor was nearly unbeatable. At Chicago’s Riverview motordrome, in August of 1911 an Excelsior set a record for the mile, burning up the boards at an average speed of 88.9 mph.

By September, the former Indian rider was in the saddle and not only did he win the feature event at Riverview, he set an unofficial world record for the kilometer, at a speed of 94 mph. With DeRosier riding, Ignaz Schwinn’s motorcycle company, Excelsior quickly became a serious race contender.

Excelsior was being hailed as the fastest bike on the boards! DeRosier’s tenure at Excelsior proved brief.

Jacob DeRosier’s career, which saw him ride in over 900 races, came to an end on March 12, 1912, he suffered severe injuries to his left leg and thigh at Los Angeles.

Enduring three surgeries, as doctors attempted to repair the damage to his left leg, he succumbed to complications of the last operation on Feb. 25,1913.

Jacob DeRosier was laid to rest in Springfield Massachusetts, the home of Indian Motorcycles. As his funeral procession passed the factory, it was to the flags of the Indian Motorcycle Co., being flown at half mast and all production at the plant was ceased.

DeRosier was 33 years old.

Quebec has had it’s share of talented riders!

Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki have many things in common.

They all got their start in Japan. Of the four, Kawasaki was the late entry to Canadian manufacturing. Honda came

匀琀愀爀琀椀渀最 䄀甀最甀猀琀 ㄀猀琀Ⰰ ㈀ ㄀㔀

to Canada in 1969, both Suzuki and Yamaha entered the market in 1973; Kawasaki did not arrive until 1982.

They all proved one thing, very quickly!

They could dominate on the racetracks of the world and one Canadian racer, Michel Mercier, rode all of them, winning many championships on each brand, covering 4 disciplines!

Born in Thetford Mines Quebec in 1953, Michel, like many a young man began his racing career in motocross. He won many a motocross

championship and held the prestigious #1 Canadian National Ice Racing plate 5 times!

During his 18-year career as a rider, he road raced for 10 years, dirt tracked

for 3 years, Ice raced for 7 years and motocross raced for 4 years and all of those years and races netted him: 25 Canadian National Titles 5 Canadian National #1 plates in Ice Racing 3 Canadian National #1 plates in Road Racing People like Fred Deeley and Raymond Greff helped this great Canadian racer when he road dirt track. He was given a Harley-Davidson XR750 to ride in 1978 and he did not disappoint H-D either!

In fact this man, Michel Mercier was one of the first Bombardier team riders – in other words, he rode everything two wheels and did it like a champion!

Today Michel is the owner of Fast Riding School. He teaches at Shannonville Motorsports Park.

No article on Quebec motorcycling would be complete without talking about the Gref family.

The Gref family is another of those families that has motorsports in their blood.

Charles Gref Sr. was born in 1912.

His love affair with the motorcycle began in 1937 and by 1947 he was the Canadian Champion in the expert class of the Canadian Trials. He went on to be a director of the CMA and the president of the Montreal Motorcycle Club.

His son Raymond, a founding member and the first president of the Club Moto Saguenay spent over 50 years in the motorcycle industry. As a competitor whose racing career spanned 8 years, Raymond was only defeated once.

He went on to be a driving force in Quebec motorcycling. Not only did he found Moto International and HarleyDavidson of Montreal, but he was responsible for organizing many a race and could always be found promoting the sport.

Normand Gref, Raymond’s brother won 153 trophies during his racing career. Today, Normand is the used motorcycle sales manager at Moto Internationale.

Like his grandfather before him, Charles Gref Jr., the president of Moto International and HarleyDavidson Montreal had the motorcycling bug, only it found Charles Jr. much earlier in life.

At the age of 13 he had already won a number of trophies. He won the Miller Trophy, which in trials riding is the top honour in Eastern Canada, in both 1976 and 1977.

His first win of the Miller Trophy came exactly 26 years AFTER his grandfather had won it!

Charles Jr. excelled in motocross, enduro, acceleration competitions and snowmobiling and the experiences he gained from being a competitor has helped him continue the tradition of Moto Internationale and Harley-Davidson Montreal being consistently top dealerships in Canada.

Quebec has produced so many inspiring motorcyclists, Yvon Duhamel, Duc du Four, Marc St Laurent, Pierre Corbeil, Paul Noiseux and many, many others. It is no wonder that Quebec has one of the highest concentration of riders in Canada.

I hope you enjoyed our little ride through Quebec’s impressive history of motorcycling.

Next time we begin exploring Atlantic Canada!

THE BIG BEND Blueberry Creek Tom Nikiforuk Family

By Marion (Nikiforuk) Skoworodko Tom Nikiforuk was born in Zawale, Sniatyn, Austria on May 5, 1900. He had one sister and three brothers, who stayed in Austria.

He arrived in Halifax on May 23, 1913 with his second cousin Alex Nikiforuk and family, and settled in Edmonton. Later that year his dad Gregory joined him, with hopes of bringing the rest of the family to Canada. However, the first World War was on its way and Gregory could not return to Austria until the war ended in 1918. He did go back to Austria then, and Tom never saw any members of his family again.

Tom worked at whatever jobs he could find until he was sixteen years old, then went to work in the coal mines. He worked as a coal miner in Luscar, Cadomin and Pocahontas near Jasper, Alberta, until 1924. He then moved to Coleman, a coal mining town in southern Alberta.

Later he met my mother Ann Myers, and they were married on July 7, 1928 in Coleman. Ann was born and grew up in Coleman and she attended school there. Her parents came to Canada from Czechoslovakia. They too, met and were married in Coleman, and raised a family of four, two boys and two girls.

Tom continued to work in the mines until April 1930, but with less demand for coal, the mines were closing down and miners were laid off work. At that time Mom

and Dad got an urge to go homesteading, so moved to the Peace River Country. They arrived in Spirit River on April 24, 1930 with their belongings and a pregnant dog called Tina. Travelling with them were friends John and Sophie Hrisook, and their two children Bill and Mary, also Alex Cot. That first night was spent in the immigration house operated by Steve Keay.

Next morning John Hrisook and his hired man took the short cut, (a bush tail through the Rat and Ksituan Creeks) herding John’s cattle to his homestead.

Tom, driving one team of horses, and Alex Cot driving another, took the families and their belongings through the Blueberry Mtn. road. That night was spent camping at Cache One as it was called then, about 12 miles west of Spirit River on the #49 highway. The coyotes and owls supplied them with music all night, and they could not be turned off either. Next evening they arrived at Blueberry Mtn., which had only a Post office at that time. Mr. Milldrum was the Postmaster. Mrs. Milldrum fed the crew and put them up for the night. Next day they only travelled three miles to the Bateman place, and that night was spent with the Batemans. In the morning Mom and Dad were missing their dog. After some searching she was found with seven pups under a granary, all healthy and ready for the rest of the journey.

Mr. Steve Gill, one of the homesteaders, guided this wagon train to Nick Skoworodko’s place. The rest of the journey to John Hrisook ‘s was even harder, as everyone was getting tired, and much of the trail had to have the bush cut before the wagons could travel. They finally arrived at the Hrisook homestead late that night. John Hrisook had previously spent a couple of months on his homestead and had a log cabin built.

Next morning Mom and Dad walked to their homestead a half mile away. Mom said she looked around and all she could see was bush and more bush. She sat on an old fallen tree and cried, and asked Dad “How are we ever going to make a home in this wilderness?” The Hrisooks had

Mom and Dad live with them until they built a log cabin on their own homestead, NW 12-80-7-W.6 at Blueberry Creek.

Tom Nikiforuk Family Dad worked for the Blueberry Mtn. farmers for the first few years, and in return for his work got a horse. Our neighbors, Mr. Symchuk and John Thomas each had one horse as well, and by putting the three horses together they each got their land worked.

In August of 1932 Dad and Mr. Symchuk beat the freight trains to Saskatchewan to look for work. The farmers there were better established and the two men were hired for extra help that was needed during harvest time. After harvest, he returned to his homestead and the hard work of clearing his land. From 1930 to 1940 they managed to clear approximately 8-10 acres per year.

In 1935 the farmers’ wives were allowed to file on their own homestead, so Mom filed on NW l6-80-6- W.6, three and a half miles away. This gave the Nikiforuks a half section of land, nearly all bush. In 1945 Mom sold her homestead and bought the SW l380-6-W.6, which was next to Dad’s.

In 1941 Mom was taken ill, and was in the Spirit River Hospital twice for two week periods. Needless to say she was sadly missed at home, but the neighbors, Nick Skoworodko’s mother, Mrs. Lena Dolhan and Mrs. Hrisook were most helpful - washing clothes and baking bread for us. One thing that stands out in my mind, was my first trip to Spirit River alone. I was nine years old at the time, and one day Dad drew a map for me, and I set out on horseback for Spirit River to visit my mother, a distance of about 18 miles. I returned home that same night, and Dad

was certainly happy to see me, bringing home the good news that mother was improving and would soon be home.

As with all other farmers, things got easier as the years went by and the family was able to help with the work. We hired cats to do the clearing and breaking, but there were many roots to be picked by hand.

Dad died in November of 1958 and was buried in the Spirit River Cemetery. Mother stayed on the farm for four years, and then moved to Spirit River. She was employed as a cook at the Pleasant View Lodge for 15 years and is now retired. She enjoys gardening, knitting, crocheting, quilting, and travelling, also plays her mandolin for her own enjoyment. She owns her home in Spirit River.
