Over the years they have offered international exchange workers the unique opportunity to work on a Peace region farm through their involvement in the International Agricultural Exchange Association. Cliff served as Director of the Peace Country Bison Association and the LaGlace Ag Society and served with UniFarm (Alberta Federations of Agriculture). He was a founding member of the Alberta Bison Commission and of Zone 4 of the Pulse Growers Association. All 3 generations of the Richards family have actively participated in 4-H. Curling is also a big part of family life. Cliff and Karren are members of the LaGlace Curling Society and the entire family volunteers with different groups and organizations that promote curling, either in the community or at bonspiels.

“I want to congratulate the Richards family on receiving the 2016 Farm Family of the Year Award.

They are a very deserving family,” said County Agricultural Fieldman Sonja Raven. “And I’d like to remind people in the County of Grande Prairie that anyone who lives in the County can nominate a farm family for this special award. Agriculture is one of the key sectors that drives our economy and it’s important we recognize the families who make farming their livelihood while supporting our rural communities.”

Country of Grande Prairie No. 1, Jan 27, 2016 2016 County Council has named Cliff and Karren Richards of Scenic Heights Farm in LaGlace the 2016 Farm Family of the Year Award. For three generations the Richards family has farmed in the County of Grande Prairie and the tradition continues as younger family members become involved.

Cliff and Karren Richards first started farming the Richards’s family operation in 1982. Since that time, one of their son’s, Dan, and his family have become part of it. Much of their success can be attributed to the whole family coming together to help out during peak seasons of seeding and harvest.

What’s Cliff and Karren’s reaction to receiving such recognition?

“We feel quite honoured to be the recipients of the Farm Family of the Year Award. It is a team effort in volunteering time spent for our industry and our community. It’s quite a privilege to be acknowledged for our past and present involvement.”

The Richards family believes strongly that volunteering and being involved is what makes a community special.

We are very excited to be welcoming Neil Dennis as our guest speaker for the evening! You may remember his talk “Grazing to Healthier Soils” from his keynote address at the Western Canadian Conference on Soil Health in Edmonton this past December. He will be joining us from his farm near Wawota in southeastern Saskatchewan, where he is a fourth generation farmer.

After years of trying to manage his farm conventionally through drought conditions, Neil and his wife took a Holistic Management course and learned about how grazing management could increase the productivity of their soils.

Soon, they were using high stock density grazing to build the health of their

Signing of TPP Today is Another Step to Benefitting Alberta Canola Growers by Increasing Exports

(Edmonton, Alberta), February 3, 2016 – Today trade ministers from 12 Pacific countries signed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement in Auckland, New Zealand. The TPP will allow canola exports to grow substantially by eliminating tariffs and removing non-tariff barriers such as those related to biotechnology.

“Since more than 90% of our canola is exported as seed, oil, or meal, exports are critical to our industry” says Ward Toma, General Manager of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission. “This agreement will eliminate tariffs on canola oil and meal in key export markets such as Japan and Vietnam, enabling Canada to increase our export markets by more than $780 million once the TPP is fully implemented.”

A better harvest.

In 2014, more than $1.2 billion in canola seed to Japan for over 40 years, but we are acutely aware was exported to Japan. As the tariffs are eliminated, that other canola suppliers now have better access to the canola industry estimates that exports will shift Japan than Canada does,” says Patti Miller, president increasingly to value added oil and meal, while mainof the Canola Council of Canada (CCC). “We are very taining the overall volume of canola that is exported. pleased the Canadian government signed the agreeThis signing brings Canadian canola one step closer to ment and look forward to a full discussion about the being on a level playing field with other oilseeds, and importance of Canada implementing the agreement in other oilseed producers like Australia in the valuable Parliament.”

to 1000 head on the same land. Neil is a firm believer in that whether we are cropping or grazing, we need to be using regenerative practices – healthy land produces healthy forages, which in turn produces healthy cattle.

During our business meeting, we will be holding elections to replace our three outgoing board members. Being a member of PCBFA’s Board of Directors gives you an opportunity to be a part of the action here at PCBFA! Perks of the job include having first opportunity to host research projects, opportunities to represent PCBFA at provincial conferences, and help to determine the direction that PCBFA goes with our research and extension activities! You may be thinking that this will be a huge time commitment, but its not!

We typically have evening meetings once every 2 months. So if you or someone you know is interested in becoming a director and would like more information, please feel free to give us a call and we can connect you with one of our board members!

Registration will open up at 4:30 with coffee and a variety of door prize draws to enter in. Our business meeting will get going at 5:00, with supper to be served at 6pm. Following supper, presentations by our staff will lead into Neil Dennis’ talk. The evening will be capped off with discussion amongst neighbours and friends.

We hope to see you there!

Breakfast Brief

Capacity Losses?

Grains this morning are mostly in the green as the complex looks to finish out the week with some gains, thanks to the US dollar’s largest 1 week loss since 2009. The currency move has helped commodity prices in general with oil prices climbing back into the $30s while the Canadian Loonie popped back above 73 cents USD yesterday! While it’s official that Syngenta will be bought by the Chinese, the feeling amongst farmers in North America towards the deal seems to be one of skepticism as China is seemingly looking to boost their own food supply (as evidenced by the recent policing of illegal GMO-seed dealers) as there’s much room for improvement with average Chinese corn yields still 40% behind those in America! Oil World is forecasting European rapeseed production to be relatively the same in 2016 as 2015 at 22M tonnes with France & Germany making up for losses in Poland & the UK. More than a few analysts believe though that the EU rapeseed number could be higher if not for the neonics ban that seem to be capping farmer’s interest to plant the oilseed.

Yesterday we got Statistics Canada’s perspective on where Canadian grain and oilseed stocks as of the end of December were sitting; The winner for the biggest change year-over-year goes to the lentil sector at 1.68M tonnes, a 47% decline over December 31st, 2014 and over 48% lower than the 5-year average (the better question is how much of this tonnage is already contracted!?!). Peas saw a 2.7% decline year-over-year to 2.165M tonnes with almost all of the difference being attributed to a 22% decline in recognized by commercial inventories (-23% from December 2014 and -42.5% from the 5-year average). At the opposite end of the spectrum, Canadian flax stocks at the end of 2015 are up 24% from the end of the 2014 at 732,000 MT, and 52% above the 5-year average (no wonder bids are sitting around the $12/bushel handle).

For the big names, total Canadian wheat stocks are down 19.3% from 2014 to 20.7M tonnes (-11.7% from the 5-year average) while durum stocks actually increased by 3% year-over-year (and unchanged from the 5-year average) at 4.23M tonnes. For canola, inventories as of the end of December were roughly 4% below the end of 2014 but almost 14% higher than the 5-year average with 12.1M tonnes still sitting on the farm and in commercial silos. Rounding out the complex is oats at 2.55M tonnes (basically unchanged from 2014 but 5.2% higher than the 5-year average), soybeans at 3.35M tonnes (+1% YoY, +19.9% from the 5-year average), 5.7M tonnes of barley (+4.1%, -2.2%), and 135,000 MT of rye (+17%, +11.5%).

CONAB, the Brazilian USDA, recently lowered its estimate of their soybean crop to 100.9M tonnes, with the majority of the downgrade attributed to “volatile weather” in Mato Grosso. On the flipside, CONAB is estimating the first corn crop to take off 28.35M tonnes but between exports and feed demand, the bureau did highlight a supply tightness, which intuitively suggests more corn getting planted in the 2nd/safrinha crop (albeit CONAB didn’t raise their corn production estimate for it!). To the west, the USDA’s attaché in Argentina sees 58.5M tonnes of soybeans coming off this year, 1.5M tonnes higher than the official USDA estimate but we could likely attribute the difference to the attache’s 40.8M acres of seeded area, more than 370,000 acres more than the USDA’s official acreage estimate. With Argentina’s capacity to crush soybeans sitting at 62M tonnes (with 26M tonnes of that at Bunge, Cargill, or Louis Dreyfus plants), the country has a long way to go before they hit full capacity (keep in mind that Argentina is already the world’s largest exporter of soymeal and soyoil!).

Have a great weekend!

The Alberta map shows the extent of fields with observed clubroot symptoms by county. Counties in red, for example, have had at least 50 fields from 2003 to 2015 that produced canola with clubroot galls. The map is based on many hundreds of field surveys over the years by staff from the Canola Council of Canada, University of Alberta, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development and from counties, municipal districts and special areas.

10 The Northern Horizon, February 12, 2016

Kidney disease in small animals Submitted by Dr. Tegan Alce With health care having advanced so far in the last 100 years, animals and people are now living longer than ever! Many older cats and dogs eventually develop kidney disease, as well as some younger animals. I will discuss what kidney disease is, symptoms to watch for, and how we manage this disease.

Kidneys are two small organs that are found in the abdomen. Their main function in the body is to filter out bodily waste from the blood, helps correct the electrolyte balance in the bloodstream, helps with calcium regulation, helps control the formation of new red blood cells, and also helps regulate blood pressure.

Waste and excess electrolytes that are not needed are excreted as urine. The functional units in the kidneys which filter things are called nephrons. There are millions of nephrons in each kidney. Kidneys are vital to an animal and person’s survival.

Kidney disease is what happens when the kidneys are damaged, and a portion of the nephrons in the kidneys are non-functional. When we see symptoms of kidney disease (which will be discussed later), 75% or more of the nephrons in the kidneys are non-functional. Nephrons also cannot regenerate, so I am sure you can imagine the importance of keeping the nephrons that are working still as healthy as possible. Regardless of what is done to slow down the progression of kidney disease, it is not curable; however, it can be managed. Every animal with kidney disease will continue to have nephrons be destroyed over time.

Dr. Zoë Ross

Dr. Christa Harder

An animal can get kidney disease from many different things. When the blood pressure gets either too high or too low, especially for a prolonged period of time, blood flow through the kidneys is compromised. Nephrons are very sensitive structures, and often will be destroyed from a lack of blood flow.

Diseases that affect the blood pressure, infections and/ or inflammation in the body are the most common causes for kidney disease. Different types of cancer, and causes that are unknown (idiopathic disease) can also cause kidney disease. Most of the time, older animals are affected by kidney disease. I heard an analogy that I quite like: “Kidneys are like new cars.

After you drive them off the lot, they just depreciate from there.” Insults over the course of a lifetime will gradually destroy or harm nephrons, which may result in kidney disease. Younger animals can also be affected by kidney disease, mostly from congenital issues, but it is much less common.

The most common symptoms to watch for with early kidney disease is often an increased thirst and increased urination. The animal may have accidents in the house as a consequence to needing to urinate more often. Because they are drinking more, and because their kidneys are unable to function as well, their urine is often not concentrated, yet not dilute (as this requires functional nephrons to control the concentration of the urine). They are much more susceptible to getting urinary tract infections. This can result in very frequent accidents, and sometimes blood in the urine.

As the disease advances, the symptoms of kidney disease also tend to get more dramatic. Metabolites that are normally excreted through the kidneys (essentially toxins) can build up in the blood, which can make animals feel nauseated and can give them ulcers in their body. The kidneys normally help regulate blood pressure. As the disease worsens, the kidneys cannot do a good job regulating the blood pressure.

Blood pressure often increases dramatically. High blood pressure often will further damage the kidneys: making the disease progress even faster. Electrolytes can also become markedly unbalanced which, in severe cases, can affect many different functions in the body.

The first step to diagnosing kidney disease is to classify the level of disease. To get an accurate staging of kidney disease, blood testing (a complete blood count, a blood chemistry, and a symmetric dimethyl arginine (SDMA) test), urine testing (including a urinalysis and urine protein: creatinine ratio), and serial blood pressure testing is required, and often repeated at regular intervals as we get an animal stabilized on treatment and for routine monitoring. Other testing that is usually recommended at time of diagnosis is a urine bacterial culture, and an ultrasound of the kidneys.

Based on the stage of kidney disease, we are able to appropriately pick different treatment options. Earlier kidney disease generally requires less aggressive therapy, however, test results will dictate what treatment options your pet should have. Treatment options often include: 1.

Diets that are low in protein and have a proper electrolyte profile for dogs with kidney disease are often recommended. There is recent research in cats that show that high protein, low carbohydrate diets are best to help maintain weight and encourage appetite.

2.

Calcitriol: recent research is showing that calcium metabolism is altered a fair amount, and can result in calcification of the kidneys. Therefore, calcitriol (the active form of vitamin B3) is often supplemented to help with this.

3.

Blood pressure lowering medications: Decreasing blood pressure, and increasing blood flow to the kidneys is key for slowing the progression if disease. Sementra (telmisartan) or ACE inhibitors (benezapril) are often used.

4.

Fluids: since the kidney’s filtering abilities are compromised, flushing them out with extra fluid often makes them feel a lot better. Ways to achieve this can include using wet food, adding water to food, and always providing access to fresh, tepid water. As the disease advances, oral fluids may not be enough, so subcutaneous fluids are often administered (we can teach you to do this at home as well).

5.

Phosphate binders: the electrolyte phosphorous does not get excreted very well, and is also in altered concentration due to the calcium metabolism being out of whack. Phosphate binders can be given to help lower the levels of phosphate in the bloodstream.

6.

Electrolyte supplementation: based on bloodwork, supplementation of electrolytes may be indicated 7.

B12 injections, probiotics, acid reducers, and laxatives can also be used in a case to case basis.

8.

For people wanting to do everything possible, there are kidney specialty centers in the USA that are performing dialysis and kidney transplants.

The bible of kidney disease for veterinarians is the IRIS guidelines: http://iris-kidney.com/. This is an excellent resource designed for veterinarians, however, many clients that have animals with kidney disease use this site to help understand kidney disease as well.

Kidney disease is a complex disease, but with proper management and catching the disease early, many animals can live for many years comfortably and happy.

Please contact us at the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic if you have any questions about kidney disease, or would like to book an appointment.

Alberta Farm Fresh School 2016 - Taking Your Farm to the Next Level AGRI-NEWS FEBRUARY, 2016

The Alberta Farm Fresh School 2016 is coming up and Rob Spencer, commercial horticulture specialist says the school is the perfect place to learn more about direct market production and marketing of fruit, vegetables and livestock, as well as connect with producer peers and experts.

“This year’s event is being offered jointly by Alberta Farm Fresh Producers Association and Organic Alberta. As a result, there will be sessions for organic grain producers and all sessions will be appropriate for both conventional and organic producers,” he says.

Horticulture sessions offered this year include strawberry, sour cherry and haskap production, strawberry production in a plasticulture system, weed control options for vegetables, crop rotational planning for vegetables, as well as talks on integrated pest management, pest ID

and post-harvest/storage management options, to name just a few.

In addition to the horticulture sessions, there will be other topic streams, as well as a trade show, a business/conversation room for specific businesses and topics and Alberta Agriculture and Forestry New Venture Coaches will be on hand to have one-on-one discussions about business plans and business expansion ideas.

Spencer says it’s a great opportunity for producers to take home information, share ideas, and get insightful tips and advice.

“The session format allows lots of time for networking and smooth, stressfree transitions between speakers. There is a full social evening, including a dinner and awards presentation (with cash bar available) followed by a separate mixer on Thursday evening,” he says.

The Alberta Farm Fresh tSchool 2016 takes place February 25-26 at the Pomeroy Inn & Suites in Olds, AB (on Olds

College campus).

Livestock Producers Receive Tax Relief

AGRI-NEWS FEBRUARY 8, 2016

Due to last year’s overly dry prairie conditions, the federal government has announced a list of additional regions where livestock producers will be eligible for tax deferrals. A preliminary list of drought-affected regions was released last July; but after further discussions with the affected provinces, additional designations have now been added to the list.

Livestock tax deferral allows producers in prescribed drought regions who are facing feed shortages, to defer a portion of their 2015 sale proceeds of breeding livestock until the following year. The cost of replacing the animals in the next year offsets the deferred income thereby

reducing the tax burden associated with the original sale.

Eligible producers can request the tax deferral when filing their 2015 income tax return. From April 1 to July 21, 60 per cent of the prairie agricultural landscape (an area representing over 27,000 farms and more than 5.8 million head of cattle), received below normal precipitation which affected the production of forage.

Forage shortages forced some producers to sell off all of part of their breeding herd.

The full list of designated regions can be found on Agriculture Canada’s website.

Royalty Rates to be Levied on Grazing Leaseholders

by Alberta Government Northern Alberta Grazing Association asking grazing leaseholders to fill in February survey NAGA, January 20, 2015 – As you are well aware, over the past few years, the Government of Alberta, in conjunction with agricultural groups such as the Northern Alberta Grazing Association, Western Stock Grower’s Association, Alberta Beef Producers and Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Association have been working to establish a credible grazing lease formula that is viable, fair and best reflects the interests of For Sale: 30+ Purebred Simmental Heifer grazing leaseholders in Alberta. all Polled, Solid Redtoor TheCalves, rental rates, now to be referred as Black.

Royalty Short on Feed.

Rates for grazing leases were to be renewed in 2004, but were frozen due to BSE. As with everything, costs naturally go up. All public land royalty rates are facing increases that may be implemented as soon as 2017.

Hence a “new survey” will be sent out to grazing

leaseholders throughout Alberta, this February. This survey is to capture investments as well as operating costs and will be inflated annually based on the Alberta Consumer Price Index. Therefore it is imperative that this survey be filled out accurately and to reflect the true costs of operating and maintaining a grazing lease.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this survey, you can call the Northern Alberta Grazing Association at (780)296-5627. They will assist you with understanding the interpretation of your statistical information. Your completion of this survey is most important to the operation, sustainability, and future rental rates (royalty rates) to grazing leaseholders in Northern Alberta.

Expected beef production increase shrinks

have decreased,” Perillat says. “Instead of seeing fourand five-per-cent increase in beef production in 2016, we’re now under four-per-cent increase, just because cattle are so slow to come to market.”

He points to tighter cattle supplies in the first half of 2016 and the United States shifting from a major exporter to an importer last year as a couple of reasons behind the lowering of the expected increase.

“In 2015, the U.S. became a pretty major importer again, so that put a lot more beef supply on the market.

Despite production being down, domestic availability is only going to be up about one and a half per cent due to a decrease of imports and an increase of exports.”

Previous expectations of increases in supplies by the end of 2016 are now delayed, Perillat says.

“The reality now is we’re not talking about more beef production until 2017, so everything has been pushed back.”

Meanwhile, the pork and poultry industries, which both saw production increases in 2015, are expected to do the same again this year.

“We’re looking at another increase in pork production, so we’re into record large pork production in the United States and they’re looking to expand by another two per cent and poultry will be another two-per-cent increase in production as well,” Perillat says.

fed prices would be in a lot worse shape than they are,” Perillat says.

CCA says research reveals a one per cent depreciation in the exchange rate increases beef and cattle prices by one per cent. The impact on calf prices is even greater.

“For every cent our dollar depreciates, you can add five, six cents a pound on the price of calves, so it’s a little over one-and-a-half per cent,” he says.

A lower dollar also increases packer competitiveness, as it lowers packer labour costs compared to their U.S. competitors. That enables Canadian packers to be more aggressive and keep more cattle in Canada, CCA says.

“If your costs are cheaper here, you can process them here and you can basically narrow the price spread between Canada and the U.S. in terms of what packers are able to pay for fed cattle,” Perillat says.

The impact of a low dollar on feed prices, however, offsets some of its benefits.

“That’s going to drive up the domestic price, whether we’re importing [feed grains] or competing against export markets,” he says. “But the price increase in the cattle more than offsets the slightly higher feed costs.”

By Richard Kamchen Canadian dollar woes are actually good news for Canada’s beef and cattle industry, says the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

“Generally in the cattle industry, especially for cow-calf producers, that weaker dollar translates into higher prices and usually helps the bottom line,” says Brian Perillat, manager and senior analyst of Canfax, CCA’s market analysis division.

CCA notes U.S. oil prices dropped over 70 per cent in 18 months, falling below $30 a barrel for the first time in 12 years. That plunge helped drag down the Canadian dollar, all the way to 14-year lows.

And if the global oil glut worsens before it improves – as some analysts expect – the Canadian dollar could remain under pressure and devalue even more, with CCA citing wide ranging analysts’ predictions between US$0.65 and US$0.59.

But CCA notes a depreciating Canadian currency supported live cattle and beef prices in 2015. “[U.S.] prices decreased dramatically faster than ours did, and if it wasn’t for our dollar, our calf and

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) is seeking the public’s comments on the first draft of its sustainability “indicators” for beef operations. The indicators are part of the verified sustainable beef framework the organization is developing, and reflect what will be measured in terms of sustainability on individual operations.

“The CRSB has developed indicators that are relevant for cow-calf, backgrounding, feedlot and dairy beef operations. We encourage people and organizations to review the work we’ve done and give us constructive feedback,” says Cherie Copithorne-Barnes, Chair of the CRSB and a producer west of Calgary. “We realize that the sustainability of the Canadian beef industry reaches many stakeholders and we want to ensure all perspectives are taken into account.”

All comments will be reviewed, and a written response to each comment will be posted on the organization’s website following the consultation.

The second draft of the indicators will be released for a 30-day public comment period in mid-2016.

Tim Hardman, Beef Director with the World Wildlife Fund, co-chaired the committee that developed the indicators.

“The committee members brought a wide range of perspectives to the table. We had very productive discussions and unanimously reached consensus. Our goal was to identify draft indicators that are robust and outcome-based, which I believe we have done,” says Hardman. “We wanted to have a balance—something realistic for producers that also meets the needs of retailers, food service providers and consumers. I think we have achieved that. I look forward to the feedback we receive over the next 60 days,” adds Stuart.

The CRSB is a multi-stakeholder initiative developed to advance sustainability efforts within the industry.. It has defined “sustainable beef” and is rapidly setting the framework for stakeholders to be able to produce and source verified sustainable beef.

The public consultation will take place from February 9 to April 10, 2016; the materials and instructions for comment can be found here.

THE BIG BEND Blueberry Creek The Zyllas

50 Years in Alberta

By Enna Theodore (Fred) and Martha Zylla decided to leave Poland and make a new start in Canada. At this time there were four children; Mike- 4 years old, Bill- 2Y2, John -1, and Enna - 1 month old. They arrived in Halifax in May 1929.

Fred heard the land in Alberta was good, covered with a lot of trees. Since there was a severe shortage of wood in Europe, he chose a heavily wooded quarter section at Mountain Trail, Alberta, later moving to Mountain Side, Alberta, where they lived for thirteen years. During their years in this part of Alberta, they added to their familyMary, Vera, Nick, Alex, Kay, Danny, and David.

Although Fred and Martha were blessed with many children, the farming was poor, as the brush was too dense to clear, and the depression was making it impossible to find work away from the farm. At this time Fred heard of good land in the Blueberry Creek area and went to investigate this possibility. The Federal Government came to the rescue by advising Fred they were willing to trade his quarter at Mountain Trail for one at Blueberry Creek. In 1942, Fred made his trade, moved to the area and started homesteading an additional two quarters.

Three of his sons- Mike, Bill and John had finished school by this time and helped clear and farm the land.

The rest of the children attended Blueberry Creek School, and a church was built with Fred as pastor.

Just as the future started looking brighter for the Zylla’s, World War II broke out and Mike, the eldest, was drafted. There was much worrying during the war years, but he made it home safe and sound when the war ended.

Finances picked up during this time, as Fred and his son Bill were able to work on the Alaska Highway, built during the war years, while Martha and the younger ‘Since 1957’

children kept the farm operating.

In September 1947, a Calgarian named William Gordon Maries, came to teach grades one to three at Blueberry Creek. One of the first people he met was Enna Zylla, and they were married in November 1947. In April1948 they moved to Edmonton where Gordon tried selling shoes for the Bay, and later worked for North West Industries. They were blessed with three daughters and during their time in Edmonton- Linda born in 1948, Patricia in 1950, and Carol in 1951.

In 1951, Enna and Gordon got a homestead in Snowdrift, Alberta, nine miles from Blueberry Creek, and decided to farm in the area so Gordon could resume teaching.

From 1952 on, they lived in teacherages as Gordon taught at Blueberry Mountain, Yellow Creek, and Blueberry Creek. During this time, Enna operated the general store and post office at Poplar Ridge, located on a comer of Fred Zylla’s farm at Blueberry Creek: They also spent the required time on the homestead, finally earning the title.

New tools allow easy access to farm information to gain insights and profits

Cash Price $140,000 Only until March 31, 2016

www.prairiecoastequipment.com 1-877-553-3373

OLATHE, Kansas (February 4, 2016) – The John Deere Operations Center is a set of online tools that enables growers to easily access farm information for better management of their operations.

Users are able to see performance over time and collaborate with partners to gain insights, increase profits, and direct their plans with more precision in the field.

The new software release for the Operations Center allows growers to reduce their reliance on desktop software (such as Apex™) and to eventually adopt one system for their farm data management needs. This update will also more seamlessly connect in-cab monitoring technology such as SeedStar™ Mobile with Job Monitor and the 4600 CommandCenter™ Display.

“The latest release of the John Deere Operations Center is a big step forward for our customers,” says Tyler Hogrefe, senior product manager, John Deere

Intelligent Solutions Group. “We’re making machine and agronomic information available to users where they want it and when they need it. Users will be able see how their operation is performing, direct and adjust operations in the field, and seamlessly collaborate with trusted partners in order to increase efficiency and profitability.”

The new tools and features available in the Operations Center include: • Prescription Creator by Agrian® New functionality added by a connected partner (Agrian) to the Operations Center so that growers can easily make management zones and variable rate prescriptions for seeding and application operations.

• 4600 CommandCenter doc data compatibility - Agronomic data captured from the 4600 CommandCenter can now be stored and viewed in Operations Center.

The John Deere Operations Center enables growers to easily access farm information for better management of their operations.

• SeedStar Mobile integration with Job Monitor - New functionality in Job Monitor offers growers the ability to remotely monitor planter performance through the use of SeedStar Mobile and continue to view that performance information after a job is done.

• New Notifications Center - The Notifications Center replaces the Recent Activity Panel to provide a place to contain alerts, notifications, and other information, with the ability to filter those messages.

• Data cleanup tools - New editing functionality available for users to adjust documentation data received, such as crop type, variety, and crop season.

• Setup Builder enhancements -

Capabilities of the Setup Builder are improved to include new functions such as templates and profiles.

• Shapefile export of application data - New ability to export all application data from Operations Center as a shapefile.

“The most significant update is our partnership with Agrian which gives our customers an opportunity to optimize their placement of inputs through the Prescription Creator,” explains Hogrefe.

“This closely-integrated tool, available at no extra cost, allows growers and their consultants to easily construct management zones and variable rate prescriptions based on yield and moisture data. Prescriptions based on soil types will also be made available later in February 2016.”

The resulting prescription is then available in the Operations Center where it can be sent directly to the machines through Wireless Data Transfer (via JDLink™ Connect) or Mobile Data Transfer, downloaded to a USB stick, or shared with a partner directly within the application.

“The new software for the Operations Center also shows our commitment to opening up our platform to new apps and software that end-users are requesting,” says Hogrefe. “We are committed to providing the best information through the John Deere Operations Center to help our customers gain more efficiency and profitability in their operations. The Prescription Creator by Agrian is the first of many partner tools that will be made available to users through the Operations Center in the future.”

A DIVISION OF SE FARM PARTXSMITH USED S LTD.

Off Production Line i DULUTH, Ga. (Feb. 5, 2015) — Hesston by Massey Ferguson, the industry’s leading hay equipment brand of AGCO Corporation (NYSE:AGCO) — who introduced the self-propelled windrower to the agricultural harvesting world more than 60 years ago — will complete the production of its 100,000th windrower in March 2016 in Hesston, Kan. The 70-year-old Hesston by Massey Ferguson® brand is a leading manufacturer of agricultural machinery, most famous for its high quality haymaking equipment since 1947. The landmark achievement will be celebrated in Hesston on Tuesday, March 29, 2016.

“When Hesston’s founder, Lyle Yost, introduced the first self-propelled windrower back in 1955, he not only shared this unique invention but he would ultimately be a leader in the revolution of the hay business,” explained Kyle Kitt, marketing manager for hay cutting, preparation and forage at AGCO. “Over the course of the last 60 years, our skilled engineers have worked to innovate and improve upon this harvesting machine, such as with the recent addition of rear-wheel steering, known as RearSteer. This is our effort to listen and respond to the needs of farmers not just here in North America, but across the world.”

The 100,000th windrower is a vast improvement from the first model of 1955. Today’s WR9800 Series of

As a result of this innovation, its team of engineers has been enhancing the windrower since it was introduced.

In MANUFACTURED UNDER ISO 9001:2008 MANAGEMENT 1955, the first commercially-available Hesston Windrower was sold and in 1956, it came off the production line — a self-propelled windrower known as the Model 100.

America’s new favorite party food.

According to the National Chicken Council’s 2016 Wing Report released today, 1.3 billion wings will be eaten next weekend leading up to and during Super Bowl 50, as fans watch the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos battle for the Lombardi Trophy. That figure is up 3%, or 37.5 million wings, from last year’s big game.

It comes as no surprise that chicken wings have become a staple on Super Bowl menus as Americans’ demand for them continues to soar. Wings recently flew to the top of the rankings of The Today Show’s “Super Bowl Snack Bracket,” handing a snack smack-down to nachos, guacamole, salsa, chili and other popular menu items.

don, of course).

• Weighing in at about 162.5 million pounds, 1.3 billion wings weigh 6,325 times more than the combined weights of the Panthers and Broncos entire 52man rosters.

• If one of the three Power Ball winners spent his/her entire lump sum on chicken wings (which we think they should), they could buy about 123 million lbs of wings, or only 76% of the 1.3 billion wings eaten Super Bowl weekend.

• 3 billion wings would stretch 10,468 times from the deepest part of the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean to the surface.

Because you’ve never really thought about that many wings…

• 1.3 billion chicken wings is enough for every man, woman and child in the United States to have four wings each.

• If 1.3 billion wings were laid end to end, they would stretch from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina to Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver almost 53 times.

• That is enough wings to put more than 600 on every seat in all 32 NFL stadiums (Not including Lon-

Feeding programs that result in thin cows at calving and/or in a loss of body condition after calving will increase the interval from calving to estrus (standing heat) and decrease first service conception rates. Both an increase in number of days to estrus and a decrease in conception rate will result in a decrease in the number of cows becoming pregnant in the first three weeks of the breeding season.

In one study (Table 1), cows calving with body condition scores ranging from 2.0 to 3.5 were fed to either gain (high diet) or lose (low diet) 1.0 to 1.5 pounds per day from calving through the breeding season. Cows in the moderate group were fed to maintain body condition after calving. Cows in the low + flushing group were fed the low diet until two weeks before the start of the breeding season. They were then fed a flushing ration of 8.8 to 13.2 pounds of ground corn per day and corn silage free choice. Flushing was continued throughout the first 30 days of breeding.

The information presented in Table 1 shows that cows with a score of 2.0 or less took longer to return to normal estrus than did cows with a score of 2.5 or greater. Cows with a score of 2.0 or less at calving had a lower pregnancy rate in the first part of the breeding season regardless of the feeding program after calving. In addition, this study also indicated that post-calving feeding programs did not appear to affect potential fertility in cows scoring 2.5 or better at calving. Flushing cows just before and during the breeding season appeared to increase the number of thin cows (scoring 2.0 or less at calving) becoming pregnant in the first three weeks of the breeding season.

Table 1. Effect of body condition at calving on subsequent reproductiona

tion after calving even when offered a high plane of nutrition. Conversely, other cows that may not be producing as much milk, or that are more aggressive at the feed bunk, may be able to maintain body condition even when the group is offered less than maintenance requirements.

The information presented in Table 2 shows that under group feeding conditions, only about 64 per cent of the cows fed below maintenance requirements actually lost body condition. In contrast, 40 per cent of the cows fed to maintain body condition were unable to do so, and 33 per cent of the cows fed at a high plane of nutrition were unable to maintain body condition. Overall, there was a modest decrease in the number of days from calving to estrus when cows were fed at or above maintenance requirements. However, the marked decrease in the number of days to estrus was observed only in cows that were able to maintain body condition, regardless of the calculated level of nutrition.

On the open road The 2016 Motorcycle Show in Calgary of your vehicle. A tip that more drivers here in Alberta would be wise to follow.

Driving too fast for road conditions will potentially land you in the ditch as was the case for many south central drivers last Thursday. I really resent people who tail gate or are so impatient that they put you and everyone else around them in jeopardy.

I was grateful to arrive in Calgary in one piece, I can tell you that!

The 2016 version of the Calgary Motorcycle Show hosted by Power Sport Services was reasonably successful in spite of the colder than usual weather.

Friday was slower than normal but Saturday was bustling busy. There were a number of new vendors on hand and a lot of old staples that weren’t on hand.

As always it was good to see Paul Rawlins from Celtic Rider Motorcycle Rentals & Tours. His plane had been delayed from London due to high winds, and although he was tired, he was a happy guy when he got to the show to see how many people were looking forward to seeing him!

The manufacturers didn’t have a whole ton new on the floor this year, but many of the parts companies did. Kimpex has a number of new products that I am looking forward to reviewing.

All in all the show was enjoyable, however many vendors I spoke with announced that sales were down by as much as 50%. Obviously the economy has a lot to do with that.

Donations to my head shave that will take place on the stage in Edmonton on Sunday the 17th at 3:30 pm went rather well all things considered with the IOMC Snow City and Stampede Crews donating a combined $450.00!

I am looking very forward to the Edmonton Motorcycle Show this weekend and hope you come prepared to donate as I intend to be bald on Sunday. I want this hair gone now so that it will have grown out enough that by the time riding season hits I will have enough regrowth that my scalp won’t burn in my helmet!

Last week I headed out from Grande Prairie AB to Calgary and the 2016 Motorcycle Show.

The weather was less than ideal with freezing fog, freezing rain, driving snow in various places.

As I was driving along I thought about the interview I had done a few days previous with Bill Gardiner a long time mechanic and recognized automotive expert who had some sage advice for winter driving.

His first piece of advice, which my husband is adamant about is to use proper winter tires.

All season tires become too hard in the cold and that makes stopping as well as maneuvering very difficult. All season tires are rendered all but useless after 7 C. Engine care is another important aspect of winter driving. Using proper lubricants/motor oil is also important.

Bill recommends Quaker State oil, because it contains a higher volume of low volatility zinc content than other oils.

The low volatility zinc does not take part in the combustion process thereby reducing how much ash builds up in the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors yet, keeps the engine lubricated better.

One other thing we discussed was washing your vehicle to get rid of salt, sand and debris. Bill highly recommends that you wash your vehicle on a day when it is sunny and the vehicle can sit to dry all day. Otherwise you are better off leaving the vehicle dirty for a bit.

That was something I had not known.

So on this trip I took his advice.

Washing your vehicle keeps brake rotors cleaner making your braking system last longer as well as removing the debris and salt that causes corrosion of the body.

Bill has lots of tips on keeping your vehicle running at its peak. You can visit Motoring TV for more of Bill’s tips.

Of course along with these tips Bill also recommended driving to the conditions and really knowing the limitations

Gordon taught at North Edmonton and Batwin schools, and graduated with his Bachelor of Education degree in 1965. He continued teaching at Balwin Jr. High until his death in August 1968.

From 1968 until 1976 Enna worked as a secretary, supporting the family and looking after her home. In 1976 she met an oil man, James Robert Rodgers and they were married in December 1976 and settled at Drayton Valley. Later they moved to Edmonton.

The Maries’ children are all grown up, married, and have families of their own.

Although Enna was the first of the Zylla children to marry, the others have all followed suit. Mike, while at Yellow Creek, married Marie Litwin from High Prairie, and they are currently with their family in Vancouver. Bill married Helen Scrypnyk from Nampa, and they now farm in the Debolt area. John married Anne Sushynski from Spirit River and they are farming in the Grande Prairie area, with Anne working as a nursing aide in Grande Prairie. Nick married Ruth and they live in Penticton, B.C. Mary married Alex Piatocha, a Baptist minister in Edmonton.

Alex married Sonya from Manitoba, and they live in Edmonton. Kay married Ken Lovell, and they live in Calgary, Alberta.

Danny married Irene and they operate a motel in Florida. Dave married Ruby Gawryluk and they live in Edmonton. Vera married Ed Klettke and they live in Grande Prairie.

As the children left home, Fred and Martha decided to sell their farms and move.

First they moved to Grande Prairie and bought a house, but Fred felt he didn’t have enough to do, so they sold the house and bought an apartment in Edmonton.

They looked after the block themselves until 1966 when it became apparent there was too much work for them. They sold the apartment and bought a house in Londonderry, Edmonton, where they still reside.

In 1972, Fred and Martha celebrated their Golden Anniversary with their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and friends. They are still very active in the Church, and hope to continue on in Alberta for years to come.
