QEII Hospital Hat Donation

150 handmade hats were recently donated to the Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) Hospital by the Alberta Women’s Institutes (AWI).

Made by AWI members from across the province, many of the hats will be used by patients in the Cancer Clinic at the QEII Hospital.

Making these hats has been a project of the AWI for several years. The hats are brought to the AWI Provincial Convention, where they are collected to be given to a selected cancer center each year. The QEII

Hospital was selected as the recipient for 2015. The donation included various sizes and colors and a nice variety of hats for both summer and winter.

Making the presentation was Frances Bogner (left), AWI District One Director, and Belinda Durda (right), Grande Prairie AWI Constituency Convener and President of the Grande Prairie Branch. The donation was received by Mavis Mintenko (centre), Volunteer Resources employee with Alberta Health Services.

Prevent insect infestations when storing grain Sept 1, 2015 – Winnipeg, Manitoba Canadian Grain Commission

As harvest has begun for Canadian grain producers, the Canadian Grain Commission reminds producers that insects could be present in any grain stored over the summer, or in areas around storage bins. These insects could move easily between bins and infest your new harvest.

Quick facts To protect the quality of grain currently in storage, the Canadian Grain Commission recommends you: • Sample the grain from the core at a depth of 30 to 50 cm (12 to 18 inches)

from the surface. Insects are likely to be found in pockets of warm or moist grain. Sieve the samples or examine small portions carefully. Typically, stored product insects are very small beetles (less than 3 mm or 1/8 inch) that may not be moving. A magnifying glass can be helpful.

• For best results, your grain’s temperature should be less than 15°C. As well, you should keep your grain at the appropriate moisture content, depending on its type (for example, wheat should be at or lower than 14.5% moisture content).

• Summer surveys have shown that the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha domi-

nica) has been found across Canada, particularly in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The lesser grain borer is one of Canada’s most damaging pests found in stored grain. The Canadian Grain Commission has insect identification keys on our website that can help you. If you cannot identify an insect using these keys, call our Infestation Control and Sanitation Officer.

• Insects in your grain could be grain feeders, fungal feeders, or predators of these insects. By accurately identifying insects, you can determine the appropriate control method.

• The Canadian Grain Commission’s

website has advice on controlling grain feeding insects. You can also contact our Infestation Control and Sanitation Officer for further assistance.

• Make sure storage areas are clean and free from grain residues that can harbour or attract insects.

• If required, treat your empty storage bins with a registered contact insecticide such as malathion, pyrethrin or a diatomaceous earth-based product.

Make sure you treat floor-wall joints, aeration plenums or floors and access points thoroughly. Note: Do not use malathion in bins intended for canola storage.

Fall Weeds: When To Spray (Sept 16, 2015) Canola Council of Canada

Fall is a good time to control perennial and winter annual weeds. The message this week includes two reminders: 1. Wait for post-harvest regrowth. Before spraying, make sure weeds are actively growing with new supple leaf area to target. Weeds cut off at harvest need time to accumulate new leaf tissue that will act as suitable surfaces for absorption of herbicides applied post-harvest. Even with the recommendation to wait for 4 to 6 weeks of regrowth, leaf surface area

is still only a fraction of what it was prior to harvest.

Therefore glyphosate rates may need to increase by 2 to 3 times to get the same concentration of glyphosate in the plant. Higher water volumes also help. If frost is predicted or has occurred, avoid application until leaf condition of the target weeds can be evaluated.

2. Know the best timing for the weeds present: Perennials are best controlled in September, especially when using glyphosate. You need to wait about a month after harvest for adequate leaf area regrowth so the herbicide has a target, but at the same time, the later you get into fall the higher the risk of losing healthy leaf tissue to frost. Without healthy leaf tissue, the herbicide can’t get translocation to the weed’s crown and storage roots where the killing can occur.

Even with good regrowth, the leaf area to target is not as great as prior to harvest, so glyphosate rates need to be proportionally higher to get the same amount into the plant.

October is usually the best time to control winter annuals such as narrow-leaved hawk’s-beard, stork’s-

bill, annual sow thistle (common and spiny) and cleavers. That way you get all that have emerged. But check weed staging. Many of the post harvest product labels have weed staging listed, and winter annuals can hit those stages before October. Apply herbicide when the majority of winter annuals have emerged and are at the right stage for control. With winter annuals, the goal is to break winter dormancy (which you can do with a Group 4 herbicide) or killing new buds being laid down for next year (which you can do with glyphosate).

4. The Soil Analysis Lab itself, where an oven, a press and the machine housing the laser are found, as well as a computer server with the lab software. The software converts photons measurements to nutrient levels, stores the results on the cloud and generates reports. Attached to the box is a computer screen that allows users to see what is going on as the samples are analysed. Logiag is currently working on the next generation of the system that will reduce the size of the machine and making its transport and installation simpler.

Backgrounder: Soil Analysis Currently soil analysis is done using chemical methods.

In Eastern Canada and US the most common method is Melhich3. Melhich was first discovered in the 1950’s and Melhich3 became widely used for soil analysis in the early 1980’s. Despite its strength and longevity, the problems with this method are numerous and well documented: reliance on proper handling of soil samples and chemical dosages by a lab technician, time consuming, reliance on various chemicals that must be discarded creating its own environmental dilemma, and inaccurate results at the edge of the detection spectrum for macronutrients such as Calcium. However the most striking problem relates to precision agriculture. Conventional chemical labs originated at a time when samples were collected in hand labelled bags and forms, and results were mailed back to clients printed as a table on a piece of paper. Despite some changes and internet use, this process is still in place. It might even be argued that for composite sampling this is ok. But it is ill adapted for the speed and efficiency required to support the development of precision agriculture. More importantly however, chemical methods such as Melhich3 have a relatively wide margin of error and we have found differences in results of up to 100% with the same sample sent to different labs. It is common to have a 25% standard deviation with results coming from the same lab on the same sample.

r0011096546

(Sep 10, 2015) Joe Dales, Editor, Farms.com Ltd. Precision Agriculture is quickly changing many of the current farming practices and to achieve the potential of this powerful technological revolution more sophisticated soil testing information will be required. To develop smaller management zones in a field, soil data needs to be generated that has accurate gps sampling connected to accurate small sample soil analysis results.

The smaller management zone soil data must then be integrated with Agronomic intelligence and provide direction to the planting equipment so that the potential of precision farming can be achieved through variable rate fertility, variable rate seeding populations and multi-hybrid planting field plans.

Technological advancements in soil testing, analysis and data management are long overdue and represent a major constraint to the farmer’s adoption and profit realization of precision agriculture.

Logiag Inc is a company that is introducing a new soil data management system called LASERAG that can help crop input suppliers, retailers and agronomists to provide farmers with the precise and accurate soil test results they need to take their field productivity to the next level.

The LASERAG system has four components: 1. Breakthrough Soil Analysis Technology: an innovative laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology has been adapted to analyse agricultural soil samples.

By focusing an intense laser beam on a dry and compressed soil sample, a plasma is created at temperatures of up to 25000C. The electrons of all the atoms in the plasma are excited and change energy levels. Once the beam is cut, the electrons settle back to their original levels and emit atom specific photons that are captured. The nutrients present in the sample are thus identified and quantified. The results are presented as standard soil test results. Each sample is analysed 3000 times in a few seconds eliminating all human error and increasing precision and repeatability. The new system is accurate 100% of the time on all nutrients.

2. A Cloud Based Soil Information Management Software has been designed for the service providers. The software allows the user to create customers fields, determined the sampling pattern, import shapefiles and soil maps. Once the soil test results are received the user can print various reports, make its prescriptions and produce the shapefiles for the variable rate applications. The soil test results are downloaded automatically each time the software is opened.

3. A Smart Phone GPS Application for the Soil Sampler in the Field. The application synchronizes with the service provider software and the sampler can see himself as a blue dot in the field. All the sampling points are also identified and the app facilitates sampling decisions. Each sample is put in a small cup made of a porous plastic to enhance drying with a QR code on top. The QR code is read with the smart phone application. Once the top is closed, no other human being will touch the sample. The cups are put in boxes of a dozen dropped at the post office at the end of the day. No writing and no forms need to be filled out.

Breakfast Brief

PEACE GRAIN FUTURE PRICES

Drop by Drop

11:40 a.m. - September 18, 2015 Don Biegel

Grains this morning are mostly lower as the complex continues to deal with harvest pressures and solid supply numbers not being offset enough by demand. Corn continues to look like it’s closer to having a bottom priced in (if not already), while soybeans seemingly have a bit more room to move lower, albeit the oilseeds complex is starting this week in the green. France finally won part of an Egyptian wheat tender at a delivered price of $193.37 USD/tonne for 60,000 MT. However, 170,000 MT of Ukrainian & Russian wheat was also bought for a delivered price between $188.40 & $192.50 USD/MT, showing that again, Black Sea wheat prices continue to be the cheapest. Questions are starting to be asked about crop input prices for the 2016 crop already, with the first focus on fertilizer and whether or not those prices will come down. This in mind, the University of Illinois has done some interesting research on correlations between farm input prices and crop prices, with the conclusion being that yes, crop input prices do track lower and higher crop prices, but there is definitely a lag to how quickly they drop.

MILLING OATS

Wheat continues to be the dog of the grains market as managed money continues to go short the cereal, despite it dropping 21% since the end of June! Some analysts have suggested that prices could fall another 20-30 cents on the Chicago board thanks to harvest pressures. However, that’s what you get when you have 3 straight years of big production and global ending stocks increase, correspondingly, for 3 straight years! When that supply rise doesn’t get matched by demand, you intuitively will see lower prices. While there are some concerns regarding dry conditions that winter wheat is getting planted into in the Black Sea & parts of the US Midwest, but with plenty of supply still available, it’s not hard to see prices where they’re at. Now, things could definitely change in the next 6 months asan El Nino or even a La Nina event sometime next year comes to fruition, but the game today suggests lower prices.

Speaking of drier seeding conditions, Ukraine is set to plant about 40% less winter rapeseed this fall than originally intended as dry soil moisture profiles have changed the seeded area from 2.033M down to just 1.22M acres. This is the second year in a row that rapeseed acreage in Ukraine will decline as only 1.7M acres were harvested this past year, compared to 2.14M acres in 2014. While those numbers aren’t huge when compared to Canada or the EU as a whole, what is significant is China eliminating the national floor price for canola, and instead, leaving it up to individual rural provinces to come up with subsidy programs. Why the change all of the sudden? Some speculate that it’s becoming to costly to store China’s huge stockpiles of canola oil, so, basically, this means that, with less incentive to plant canola, acres should be lower, potentially meaning more imports.

Keep in mind that if the country is trying to draw down its current stocks, it may do that before importing more product.

Statistics Canada came out late last week with some new yield and production numbers in a report that mostly went unnoticed by the market. The new numbers, which showed lower yields across the board when compared to last year, were based off of a combination of agroclimatic data, coarse resolution satellite data, and StatsCan’s field crop reporting series. Most production numbers skewed towards higher than what the August report showed (which was based on phonecall surveys) but one big difference was this model suggesting that Canadian farmers this year will produce 14.4 million tonnes, a significant hike from the previous estimate of 13.3 million tonnes and well above most other estimates.

Meanwhile total wheat production was set 25.3 million tonnes, including 4.8 million tonnes of durum versus previous estimates of 24.6M tonnes and 4.47M tonnes of durum. I, for one though, am not sure how much bigger the crop got after August, plus the drop in temperatures haven’t helped those trying to get Harvest 2015 finished up, especially with every incremental drop of rain adding more pain. r001927260 To growth, Brennan Turner President/CEO | FarmLead 1-855-332-7653 (Toll-Free) 1-306-665-8740 (Office) www.FarmLead.com @FarmLead (on Twitter)

Hidden Gems

When you travel as much as I do, you get to sample more than your share of good and bad coffee and good and bad meals.

But every once in a while you happen upon a “hidden gem”, a place that serves something that makes your day, as well as makes you earmark that location for your next trip through.

Here are two recent “finds”.

Race Trac Gas in LaGlace I found myself “having” to make a pitstop and Race Trac Gas in LaGlace appeared before the last four cups of coffee got the best of me. As soon as I entered the station I was hit with what psychologists call the most evocative smell for men – cinnamon.

Lo and behold, the station bakes fresh cinnamon buns every morning, and darn good ones at that.

Needless to say, now a regular stop on my way to type-2 diabetes.

Norm’s Pizzazz in Grimshaw Recently, I was in Grimshaw visiting my dad and, instead of going to our usual lunch at the Mile Zero, my dad suggested a new place in town, Norm’s Pizzazz.

I have to admit that I was not expecting a lot as it was a small place “across the tracks” that used to be the Grimshaw pizza place.

Boy, was I wrong.

Norm serves a small, but very tasty array of comfort food from pizza to grilled cheese sandwiches. However, the jewel of the menu is his smoked meat sandwich. With smoked meat brought in from Montreal, he has created arguably one of the best sandwiches in the area. Served with rye bread and a very tasty deli pickle, you might come in hungry, but you will leave full and satisfied. For people from Quebec, this will be a culinary visit home.

Now if I can only find a doctor that can sign off on my smoked meat sandwich/ cinnamon bun diet I’ll be rolling.

Don’t for a second let the face-painted cowgirls fool you— they were there to win.

While the atmosphere at the Peace Country Barrel Racing Association Finals featured themed costumes and looked like a fun time, with a total of $30,000 on the line there was plenty of seriousness to accompany the goofy outfits.

“All the girls and the boys spend all year qualifying for our finals and they have to do a certain amount of jackpots to make our finals,” President of the PCBRA Yvonne Hussey said of the over 200 competitors at the Horse Arena in Chetwynd last weekend,” and then they are here to run the best that they can.

"It gives the kids so much confidence, and gets them used to being in a show ring, so when they get older and more competitive, they have less stress and anxiety over it," she said.

Peggy Bergeron, director of the Dawson Creek Light Horse association, said the number of under-five riders varies year to year.

Those who stick with riding will typically begin competing between ages seven and nine, she said.

Trish Braun said she expects Hayley will be among those riders.

Ride for the Brand In my experience, there has been a great amount of benefit that I’ve received by Riding for the Brand.

Another way of saying this is staying loyal to something. It means doing the right thing even when the boss is away; doing extra even when it will never be noticed; treating things like they were yours or better than you would treat yours; and being there when you’re needed even if it doesn’t fit into your schedule whether it’s hard or uncomfortable.

Over the years, the businesses, careers, and programs that I’ve been loyal to the longest have actually benefited me, my family, my friends, and my clients more than I can put a dollar value on it. I might have been paid the same as the guy that wasn’t riding for the brand and was just there for the check, but in the end, I’ve been paid and been able to pass on incredible experiences to others in ways far better than money.

It’s like getting loyalty credits that you have stock piled over the years that don’t seem to run out. In fact, I’ve often ended up with so many loyalty credits I got to share them with others. At the time, I didn’t know I was getting credits from the program or outfit I worked for and I don’t even think that anybody really thought about it. It’s kind of like magic the way credits are just there. The things I moved on from and didn’t stick with I have no credits.

An example of what I’m talking about is our annual High and Wild mountain trip it is a horsemanship experience and learning opportunity that I cannot duplicate anywhere else in the world. Our 2015 group spent two weeks up there. I have been given a great deal of leeway there because I stayed loyal and rode for the brand for years. I have worked for this outfitter since I was 17 and have treated the place and job like it was my own. Now, I can go back anytime I want.

My two daughters have been riding up there since they were 4 and 6. We can get flown in almost any day we would like and the horses, cabins, lodge, food, cooks, saddles, plane rides are almost completely at our disposal. Not only us, but my clients from all over the world are getting to share in the some of the credits I’ve managed to stock pile without knowing. People from the U.S., Tiawan, Australia, Denmark, Belgium, and of course, us Canadians shared in these credits

this year.

The other half of this story and reason this has been going on now for 13 years, is that I stayed loyal and dedicated to a horsemanship program that works. A program that seems to prove itself over and over to be effective, progressive and duplicable year after year and horse after horse. It is easier many times to jump from one shiny thing to another but, it might not be in your best interest. My advice is to find a horsemanship program that has a system to follow; that is progressive and duplicable from horse to horse; and is both beneficial to you and your horse(s). These programs aren’t always easy to find but they are out there.

Find one that you believe to be the best and stick with it. Learn everything you can and look for a program that is continually improving. Your horse will also thank you for staying with a system and not changing every time the wind blows. Picking up that piece of paper on the ground even when the boss isn’t looking or spending that extra time in the corral with your horse will pay off in the long run in unexpected ways.

You can stock up loyalty points with your horse and it will come back to you in ways you never dreamed of. Sticking with a program and Riding for the Brand has done me nothing but good and the longer I stay true to the brand the more the brand rewards me in unexpected ways.

Something to think about and enjoy your horsemanship.

Pet food and obesity Written by Dr. Gudrun Gunther updated by Dr. Emily Wilson.

In North America alone there are more than 5000 different pet food labels. With all those options available it can be an overwhelming experience trying to choose the correct food for your pet. It is important to know that not all pet foods are created equally. With a little background information you will be better able

It is important to feed your pet correctly as there are numerous health concerns associated with feeding an improper diet. to choose the correct food for your pet and thereby avoid many of the problems associated with feeding a poor diet.

There are many dog food diets that are high in protein and claim that dogs require high levels of protein to be healthy. Unlike cats, dogs are not carnivores and therefore do not require high levels of protein. Dogs

are omnivores meaning they subsist on plant and ani-

mal material. There are no clinical trials that indicate grains, or vegetables are unhealthy in pet foods. Similarly there are no scientific studies indicating that rendered, or by- products are of lesser nutritional value then raw meats, and muscle meat ingredients. In fact often times by products contain organ meat, which has added nutritional value for our pets. Vegetables and fruits make a great low fat treat for our pets, excluding the toxic ones such as grapes, raisins, and onions.

The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) sets the nutritional standards for pet foods sold in the United States and these standards are also recognized in Canada. I highly recommend feeding your pet a food that contains the AAFCO label on the bag as these foods have been tested and are proven to be effective in what they claim. If the food label says it has been formulated to meet the established AAFCO dog food nutrient profile for a certain life stage, then it has been chemically tested. If it says that it meets the AFFCO feeding trials standards for a certain life stage then it has been fed to animals in a nutritional trial. The second is the superior of the two, however having the chemical analysis is superior then the foods with no AFFCO statement.

There are many advertising labels meant to catch the consumer’s eye when purchasing pet food. A label such as; holistic, human-grade, premium, superior, and ultra have no official definition in the dog food world. Which means they have no regulation behind them. They are simply used to grab attention, and confuse buyers into purchasing their products. Another common claim on pet food labels that attracts potential buyers is that the diet is “all natural”. Natural dose not have a legal definition, but AFFCO defines it as: derived solely from plant, animal, or mined mineral sources, either in its unprocessed state, or having being subject to physical processing, heat processing, rendering, fermentation etc, but not been produced or subject to chemically synthetic processing, or containing any synthetic additives or processing aids.

There is no regulation on the term organic for dog food ingredients at this time, until one is in place the regulations for organic human foods are being applied to pet foods.

It is important to feed your pet correctly as there are numerous health concerns associated with feeding an improper diet. The most common diet related condition that we see as veterinarians are overweight animals. There was a study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association that showed dogs that had their caloric intake reduced by

Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic

13

25% compared to a control group lived on average 2 years longer. The group with the reduced caloric intake also had delayed onset of chronic disease requiring treatment by 2 years compared to the control group.

The Veterinary Clinics of North America in March 2010 listed 27 obesity-related disorders. Some of the most common conditions seen are osteoarthritis, respiratory disease, heart disease and diabetes. All of these conditions can be preventable by properly feeding a well-made diet. If you are looking at your dog food bag for an AAFCO statement label, please pay attention to whether it says “for all life stages”. If you see this statement then your dog food is intended for puppies as well as adults. As you could imagine, a food that is suitable for a puppy would be far too high in calories for an adult dog. If you have an adult dog you should be looking for an AAFCO statement that claims “for adult life stage”. The selection of an appropriate dog food for your dog’s age and lifestyle is the first step in weight control.

If you have any concerns or questions about your pet being overweight or what to feed your pet it is important to contact your veterinarian at the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic

Jonny Wakefield Alaska highway News August 26-2015 Three alleged cattle rustlers made first appearances in a Dawson Creek courtroom Tuesday.

Travis Ricky Wiebe, 24, Cody Lee Housego, 21 and William Rodrick Blanchard, 19, appeared before the court accused of killing and butchering three calves in a community pasture in Groundbirch on July 26.

The three face multiple charges including causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal, killing or injuring cattle, theft under $5,000 and unauthorized

possession of firearms.

None of the men have entered pleas on the charges, so it is too early to say whether the case will go to trial.

The men have not been proven guilty of the alleged offences.

Gina Odden, who owned one of the three calves, said it had a value of between $800 and $1,200.

A person found guilty of killing cattle faces a maximum prison term of five years or a fine of no more than $10,000.

The accused next appear in court Sept. 29.

During years of drought it becomes increasingly important to find a drought management strategy and implement it early on in the year. One of our last resort options could be weaning calves early. This is a strategy that takes a lot of close management and monitoring as early-weaned calves have high nutrient requirements and must get what is required in order to grow and survive.

Rumens of newborn calves lack the ability to process forage fiber via fermentative digestion until solid food consumption begins which is around 45 days of age so North Dakota State University (NDSU) suggests that: “Offering a creep feed three to four weeks prior to weaning will help the calves adjust to eating processed feeds and make the weaning transition period less stressful. Initially, calves should be offered long stem grass hay. Once the calves are consuming these feeds readily, begin offering mixed rations. Gradually adjust the calves to greater levels of grain and/or concentrates. Do not start calves on silages and other fermented feedstuffs. The fermented odor and flavor of these feeds can cause feed aversion in freshly weaned calves. Wait until the calves are consuming the ration adequately and then begin blending in these feeds.”

There are many things to consider when thinking of weaning calves early and NDSU lays out some great advantages and disadvantages on their website of which some I have provided below.

Advantages of Early Weaning Improved cow body condition - Lactating cows

can lose body condition due to the increased nutrient requirements associated with lactation. When drought conditions exist, this situation is usually made worse by lack of forage in drought stressed pastures. By weaning early, the cow’s nutrient requirements for lactation are eliminated and cows are able to maintain or increase body condition prior to the fall and winter feeding period.

Improved calf performance - During a drought, calves may not be able to successfully compete with cows for adequate forage. By weaning early and providing a highly nutritious diet, calves can reach their growth potential.

Improved conception rates - Weaning early can result in improved conception rates, provided the calves are weaned during the breeding season. This would require weaning calves at a very young age (calves need to be weaned at 45 to 105 days of age to allow increased conception rates). When weaned early enough, cows have a greater opportunity to rebreed in an optimum time frame and an increase in conception rate can be expected.

Improved forage availability for the cow - Early weaning reduces the cows dry matter intake and also eliminates the demand on the forage from the calf.

Consequently, the cows remaining on the pasture have access to more forage and demands on the pasture are reduced, which can enhance sustainabil-ity and forage production in the future.

Disadvantages of Early Weaning Increased attention to management is required – Early weaning requires greater attention to proper health, nutrition, and management practices.

Prairie cattle farmers face feed decisions farm credity canada SEPTEMBER 18, 2015

By Richard Kamchen With dramatically higher feed and hay prices, cattle producers in areas hit by extreme dryness this summer will need to determine the cost benefits of either buying expensive feed or moving their animals to feed.

The feed crunch isn’t limited to Alberta, and Saskatchewan producers are feeling the pinch too, says Ryan Copithorne, owner of Cows in Control Marketing Group.

Dean Dyck, a farm business management specialist with Alberta Agriculture, explains there are numerous variables for farmers to consider.

When it comes to filling their feed bunks, farmers should consider: • feed costs • shipping costs • yardage charges, including equipment operating

costs, corral cleaning, utilities and facility wear and tear • feed waste and losses Dyck says opportunity cost of labour for feeding the animals - that is, if the owner could use his labour to generate alternative income - also needs to be factored in to costs.

Dyck adds that moving the animals to a custom operator involves determining the cost of freight to ship the cattle to and from the lot, the cost of feed at the facility, and the yardage charge by the feeder to care and feed the animals.

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s executive vice-president Dennis Laycraft says the first year of a drought is typically the most manageable as many operations have some feed carryover.

“Most times when you get a custom feeder involved, it is for backgrounding feeder cattle or finishing,” he says.

“It is almost in every case cheaper to move cows to feed than feed to cows,” Copithorne says.

But Copithorne believes there’s more feed out there than is generally believed, as many grain crops have been taken as greenfeed or silage due to poor yields, or the allure of high forage prices.

“It may pay to wait to see where these feed prices truly settle out at by the fall,” he says. “I think we have seen panic pricing of forages.”

With current hay rations extremely expensive, Copithorne says it’s a good year to explore different 3rd Annual Bullhay Sale feed options than 100 per cent rations, and adds nutritionists can assist in considering alternatives.

The last widespread feed shortage occurred in 2002 when feed was being shipped across provincial lines.

Increased cash costs - Weaning calves earlier will result in increased cash costs for the rancher or beef cattle producer. Instead of pasture and their mother’s milk, early weaned calves will eat high quality grains, hays, protein supplements and/or commercially prepared feeds. In addition, beef cattle pro-ducers must have facilities to feed calves.

Early weaned calves should consume 2.75 to 3.25% of their body weight in dry feed daily. Rations should be palatable and free of dust. The most nutritious rations won’t work effectively if calves don’t consume them.

Before deciding to wean calves early it’s a good idea to do some more research on it as well as talk to your local vet to get help in implementing a plan that is best for both your cows and calves health. www.cattlenetwork.com

The Northern Horizon, September 25, 2015

Fall Soil Tests: Now Or Before Freeze Up? bial processes in the soil slow down as temperatures cool, so mineralization should be minimal below that threshold.

Testing right after harvest: If you want to use soil test results to see whether this year’s crop had enough nutrients, sampling now would be the better option.

Sampling behind the combine may also ensure it gets done if the late timing has historically been busy with other field work, grain marketing and delivery.

After a dry year, keep in mind: Potassium (K) levels may be lower than anticipated as the K may not have leached out to the straw yet. Also, pH levels

may read slightly lower than normal after very dry years due to the salts from the fertilizer not leaching (this would be under drought like conditions). Controlling depth of the soil sampler can also be difficult when the soil is dry, potentially making the sample inconsistent with previous years. If this is the case, waiting for a rain will help.

The key with soil tests is to be consistent. If you usually test in the fall, continue testing in the fall, and sample in similar locations in the field. (If you have GPS marked coordinates, you can sample the same places each time.)

Then when you get the results, concentrate on the trends. Are reserves going up or down over time? Use the trend

(Sept 16, 2015)Canola Council of Canada - Fall is a good time to do soil tests. Growers often have more time in the fall than in the spring. And with results and recommendations in hand before winter, growers can use the winter months to plan their fertilizer programs for next year, to order fertilizer, and to take advantage of reduced pricing opportunities that may occur.

The question is, do you test soils now or wait until closer to freeze up?

Testing close to freeze up: If you want results to be as close as possible to the situation next spring, the ideal time to take fall samples is when soil temperatures drop below 7°C. Micro-

CONSIGNMENTS

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) is organizing the 2015 Best Practices Tour, which will take place October 20-21, 2015, in Edmonton.

“If your company is seeking ways to increase productivity and global competitiveness, this will be a great opportunity to tour various agri-food processors that have successfully implemented lean thinking, and lean and green principles,” says Lisa Iwanyk, development officer, AF. The program includes visits to three agriprocessing facilities as well as networking and educational sessions.

“After six years of hosting the event outside of Alberta, we’re excited that this year’s tour will be held here,” says Iwanyk.

“This will be an excellent opportunity for

By the end of 1910, there were approximately 10 dealerships in and around Winnipeg and all were looking to fill the demand for the motorcycle.

One of the best documented was the Northwest Cycle & Motor company.

He had also worked as an assistant engineer during the construction of the Norwood Bridge and held the position of executive director for Met-Wood Industries. Heavily involved with civic politics he served on city council for 5 years from 1955 to 1960.

The Northern Horizon, September 25, 2015

Dan visits Wembley Livestock Exchange I stopped in to say hello to Glen and Mel at the Wembley Livestock Exchange on Wednesday, September 9th and to congratulate them on their first full year of operation.

Since starting as a small calf backgrounding operation, Glen and Mel have slowly increased the size of their operation and offered me a quick walkthrough while bringing in a trailer-load of young calves.

The trailer was brought in to the drop-off area where the youngest calves were separated from the rest of the livestock who were then herded to a series of sorting pens. Once there, the heifers were separated from the steers and then

each group was brought into the scale area for weighing.

Glen and Mel take great pride in their weighing area, utilizing a government certified state-of-the-art cattle scale kept at a height of three feet above ground to eliminate ground, frost and snow interference.

Once weighed, cows, bulls and calves are moved back into holding pens while the paperwork goes to the office so that the customer can be paid.

The whole yard operation, from customer drop-off to sorting, to weighing, to finish took less than an hour; a quick and easy operation from start to finish to payment.

By granddaughter, Judy Machtans The Gregor Kucharuk family, (wife Mary, three sons, Steve 9 yrs old, Walter, Jack, and daughter Anne) and Gregory’s sister, Helen, with their belongings left the village of Dominka, in the province of Volin, Ukraine. From Danzak (Gedansk) to England and on to Halifax, Canada by ship, Pacific Line.

Some of the family were very sea sick, except Jack, he ate for everyone who couldn’t. On arrival in Halifax, they boarded a train to Edmonton, Alberta, and then to Rycroft, Alberta, arriving in June, 1929.

The entire trip took six weeks from Gedansk to Rycroft.

The greatest problem encountered on the trip was the lan-

guage barrier. The customs and lifestyle were hard to adjust to also. They left the homeland of Ukraine, due to lack of freedom and for betterment of the family. Arriving in Rycroft, a few days were spent at the home of Demko Shmyr. Then they took all their belongings, axe, sickle, lantern, scythe, dishes, water kettle, bedding and dried fruits, and travelled by horse to Volin, to stay with Mary’s brother Moses Machuk, who had arrived in Canada the year before.

Gregory filed on a homestead in June 1929, NW 28, two miles from the banks of the Peace River, where they walked to go fishing. They cleared some land, heavy green timber, and built a 1 1/2 storey house. In order to purchase their first cow, Gregory worked for the Lazoruk family and was paid $65.00.

A native Cree Indian, John Thomas, supplied the family with fresh moose meat and moccasins for all the children, in return the Thomas family got fresh milk. In 1930, Gregory supervised the building of the first school in Volin , with the help of the community residents. Another child arrived in 1931, daughter Nettie. In the fall of 1931 Gregory died at the age of 31, of injuries sustained at the beginning of ‘31.

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

Mary Kucharuk then married Matt Bilawchuk in the spring of 1933, and moved north of Spirit River to the Devale district, NE 30-79-6-6. In 1937 Steve, now old enough to file for a homestead, did so. The land was covered with large trees and windfalls. In 1939, Steve purchased his first car, a Chevy, with his step-brother, George. In 1942 Steve joined the Army and was stationed in Vancouver, Point Atkinson, etc.

In 1943 Steve Kucharuk married Kate Symchuk, and they lived in Vancouver and Prince Rupert, while serving in the army. In 1945 a daughter Judy was born. Steve was discharged from the army in 1946 and returned to farming . He bought his first tractor in 1947, a model 25 Massey Harris. In 1948 they built a 1 1/2 storey house, on his homestead. Judy attended school at Yellow Creek and then Blueberry Creek, graduating from Spirit River High in 1962. In 1965 she was married to Klaus Machtans, and made their first home in Vancouver, B.C.

Steve, Kate and Daughter Judy,

They have three sons, Kenton born April, 1967, Craig born February 1969, and Sheldon in 1973.

In September 1974, Klaus, Judy and family moved to Steve’s homestead to start farming. Steve and Kate moved into Spirit River. Though Steve is retired, he still returns to the farm to help out with the farming when needed.
