Ethics and energy negotiations AGRI-NEWS NOVEMBER 17, 2014

A spokesperson for the Farmers’ Advocate Office (FAO) says it is important farmers, ranchers, land agents, and energy companies have a basic understanding of ethics as they relate to energy negotiations.

“One of the roles of the FAO is to assist farmers and ranchers understand the laws that guide the energy industry and their rights and obligations in relation to negotiations with energy companies,” says Carol Goodfel-

low, assistant farmers’ advocate-land and energy, FAO, Edmonton. “People who have never undergone energy negotiations may not have an understanding of what the process should look like, and, as a result, may unknowingly sign agreements that aren’t to their benefit.

“While there are many excellent companies and land agents, unfortunately there are also some who use questionable ethics in their negotiations with farmers and ranchers. The FAO believes that it is important that landowners are treated fairly and respectfully.”

Ethics are the standards of moral behaviour (right and wrong) that govern the behaviour of a society or group.

“Legal requirements set a valuable baseline, but they are not a sufficient guideline for ethical behaviour,” says Goodfellow. “Just because something is legal doesn’t make it ethical. A land agent seeking to be ethical in energy negotiations must rise above the legal requirements.”

The FAO makes the following recommendations: Landowners should not feel pressured A landowner should have enough time to review an agreement, research and ask questions prior to signing, says Goodfellow. “If the landowner lacks specific expertise in the area of surface rights, he should be afforded the opportunity to seek representation.

“Landowners should be aware that signing bonuses can be tactics to get a landowner to sign quickly (and ignorantly). Putting pressure on landowners by suggesting that the bonus will be withdrawn without expeditious signing of an agreement is a highly questionable approach.”

From time to time, the FAO hears of situations where landowners have been given an agreement for review and been told they have a specified time to sign, says Goodfellow. “In reality, a landowner has 48 hours of uninterrupted time (not including weekends and holidays) to review the documents. They may choose to take additional time after that.”

The landowner has a right to information that affects them “Agreements should fully disclosure all impacts of the development and be forthright about the future inten-

tions of the project as they relate to the landowner,” says Goodfellow. “Furthermore, the agreement should detail all commitments that were formed during the discussions. This is vitally important for ensuring a landowner’s needs and interests are reflected throughout the development, maintenance, and reclamation processes.

The obligation should be on the land agent to direct and lead the process in cases where the playing field may not be level.”

The landowner should be treated like an equal Land agents should recognize the business acumen and diversity of skills it takes to be a farmer or rancher, says Goodfellow. “It may not be reflected on a goldrimmed piece of paper, but farmers and ranchers are also businessmen, financial managers, strategists, stewards, and entrepreneurs who have developed skills in heavy duty mechanics, carpentry, veterinary medicine, crop management, nutrition science and so forth. Landowners should be treated as equals.”

The landowner should feel like they are being respected “Many Albertans have invested deeply in their properties for generations, both financially and emotionally,” says Goodfellow. “A person who has spent their life on a piece of property will be rightfully insulted if they receive instructions from someone who has been on their property for a few hours. Land agents should be sensitive and polite, remembering that they are uninvited guests in a landowner’s home. Statements such as ‘we will just force entry’ or ‘government and the Alberta Energy Regulator will support us’ are unacceptable.”

To an individual landowner the land contract is very significant, so Goodfellow says land agents should remember that signing is a weighty decision for the landowner. “Changes to their property have implications for a landowner’s family, farming operations, investment, and future.”

Wind energy group forecasts another record year

by Owen Roberts Slow energy demand hasn’t dampened the wind power sector’s positive outlook.

At the Canada Wind Energy Association’s recent annual meeting, organization president Robert Hornung forecast another record year in 2015, and steady growth through to 2016.

And he credits farmers for being central to wind energy’s growth.

“Farmers have always been innovators and wind energy represents a new productive use for their land,” he says.

“The wind energy industry has been fortunate to build strong and positive relationships with members of the agricultural community across Canada, and is committed to the continued development of responsible and sustainable wind energy projects that engage and benefit farmers and their local communities.”

Last year was a record year for wind energy development in Canada, with new installed capacity from 23 wind energy projects totalling nearly 1,600 megawatts.

Canada finished the year with a total of 7,802.72 megawatts of total installed capacity, enough to supply about three to four per cent of the country’s electricity demand.

Despite the record performances, Hornung says the future is challenging for wind power.

“Slow demand growth in most jurisdictions means there is limited need for new generation of any kind,” he says.

“And plans for new large conventional generation, like the Site C hydroelectric project in B.C. or nuclear refurbishment in Ontario, threaten to cut into the opportunity that does exist.”

The annual meeting preceded the release of a new survey from Nanos research showing Ontarians rank wind and other renewables as the safest and most environmentally friendly way to generate electricity. The survey further showed Ontarians rate it the most costly. Developing renewable sources such as wind and solar energy was the most mentioned reason among respondents for rising energy rates.

Planning -- one of the ingredients to success

AGRI-NEWS NOVEMBER 17, 2014

With the harvest complete and winter here, it is time to evaluate last year’s business and plan for next year. Are you on the right track or do you need to make changes?

“Never guess when evaluating your business success or lack of success,” says Kathy Bosse, new venture coach, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Red Deer. “The facts are those that come from your financial information. Take the time to go over and analyses this information. If you are uncertain about your options, be sure to seek out professional help.”

Bosse recommends the following to help evaluate this information and to assist in making informed decisions: Define your situation – How is your business doing? Be realistic; we all want things to happen immediately.

Look at alternatives – Think about all the different ways your business could change. Can you do some fine-tuning to your business to take advantage of new products or markets or should you stop some of the things

you are doing? Be sure you do your homework before making changes.

Take Action – Develop an implementation plan, including a timeline, marketing plan, management structure and financial plan.

Evaluate – Always evaluate any change to your business so you know if you have been successful with the changes you have made.

“There are no easy answers to business success,” says Bosse. “The one guarantee is that you will spend a lot of time and energy in the development and operation of your business, so it is important that you enjoy what you do.”

Bosse has some tips to help along the road to a successful business: Produce what the customer wants not what you think they want or what you like.

Create a high quality product.

Provide a high quality service.

Good customer service can make or break your business.

Start small and grow naturally.

Make decisions based on good records.

Establish a loyal customer base.

Provide more than just a product or service. Provide an experience.

Keep informed. Businesses have to be constantly changing to keep up with what the customer wants.

Plan for the future. Set goals for your business and establish a plan of action to achieve them.

“Planning and evaluating are very important to the success or potential

success of your business,” adds Bosse.

“Make sure you allow enough time to do both properly.”

For assistance in evaluating options and planning for the future, contact a new venture specialist at 310-Farm (3276).

The Taste of Canada AGRI-NEWS NOVEMBER 17, 2014

The Taste of Canada event, held November 3-4, 2014, in San Francisco, California, featured 40 Canadian exhibitors, 25 buyers, 345 pre-scheduled appointments, and 1,000 business-tobusiness (B2B) interactions.

Taste of Canada is an annual professional food showcase event designed as a mini Canada-only trade show. The two day program includes a tabletop exposition and networking, business matchmaking, a market seminar and store tours.

“Events like Taste of Canada provide an excellent opportunity to introduce new products to buyers, as well as showcase many of the Canadian foods that are currently available in the

market,” says Paola Zaragoza, trade and relations officer, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Edmonton. “A buyer that attended told me that they got more done at Taste of Canada than any other show they had gone to.”

Twenty-eight buyers, including Trader Joes, Williams Sonoma, Kroger, and Raley’s Fine Foods, engaged in pre-scheduled one-on-one business meetings with the Canadian exporters, to identify business opportunities and develop synergies.

“Multiple provinces, including British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec, as well as the federal government and agencies such as Export Development Canada, supported this Alberta-led initiative,” says Zaragoza.

“It’s become a Canadian flagship event

in the U.S. market.”

Funding for this project was provided through Growing Forward 2, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative.

B.C. grape acreage expansion continue says.

This year’s report shows 10,260 acres of wine grapes, up 4.1 per cent from the 2011 report. The 2011 report tallied acreage growth of 8.7 per cent from 2008 and prior to that, double digit growth in the previous six years.

B.C. now has 929 vineyards 65 more than in 2011. The majority — 67 per cent — are winery-owned or leased and located in the Okanagan Valley.

Wineries total 254 in the province, up from 210 in 2011. Of the total vineyard acreage, 49 per cent are white grapes.

With B.C.’s wine industry capturing 10,000 acres, the area is small compared to other parts of North America.

Ontario has 17,000 acres dedicated to wine production, Washington State has 45,000 acres and California, 570,000 acres.

Breakfast Brief

New Figure, Same Outlook

11:30 a.m. - November 14, 2014 Don Biegel

It’s official: winter is here. Snow is starting to fall across most areas around and above the 49th parallel, which will limit the ability to take off the remaining U.S. corn & soybean fields (might have to wait until spring!) The cold could also have a negative effect on the winter wheat which has not yet entered a dormancy phase. The market really continues to be pushed higher by the soy complex despite a W.A.S.D.E. report from the U.S.D.A. on Monday, November 11th that was not all that bullish for the oilseed. Comparisons to the 2009/10 marketing year when farmers slowed their soymeal exports are being made as this year, farmer selling of the oilseed is slow/behind the average. Add this in with a strong cash soymeal market, poor rail performance, and some technicals pointing higher, we see soymeal up above $400/short ton (was at $500 in May/June though). All in all, despite a strong marketing year start for soybeans with regards to demand, a bigger crop will offset it and while the corn crop isn’t as big as once thought, it’s still huge.

The report showed corn yields dropping from October’s estimates to 173.4 bushels per acre, a stark contrast to the upgrade to 175.2 the market was expecting. Nonetheless, a record U.S. corn crop of 14.4 Billion bushels is still coming off and although domestic demand was increased, 2014/15 ending stocks are seen at two billion bushels! As for soybeans, yields were raised by 0.4 from October’s estimate to 47.5 bushels per acre, a new record (but slightly below analysts pre-report expectations). While output figures were raised to a record 3.96 billion bushel crop, increased domestic and export demand kept the 2014/15 carryout at 450 million bushels. Finally, for wheat, production was relatively unchanged with ending stocks dropping slightly to 644 million bushels and on the global level, only Australia saw a notable downgrade (now estimating a 24 million-tonne crop but we think it’ll be closer to 22.5 million). From a global carryout perspective, corn stocks are seen building 11 per cent year-over-year to 191.5 million tonnes and soybean inventories are ballooning a significant 35 percent from the end of 2013/14 to the end of 2014/15.

So what does it all mean?! There doesn’t seem to be any significant bullish fundamentals affecting the corn market right now whatsoever. As for the oilseed market, the 2014 crop year has been brought to you by the word “record” – as in record U.S. soybean production, record South American output, and a record E.U. rapeseed crop. Given the reality that crush margins remain quite strong for both canola & soybeans, we may see some increased demand domestically. The only other catalysts that could (read: not for sure) help prices move higher is the relatively slow start to a Brazilian soybean planting season leading to a belowforecasted output there and the pesticide ban in E.U. affecting crop quality & output. As for wheat, the dry seedbed that Russian planters drilled into could lead to lower production there but a 12 per cent increase in acres could easily offset any losses. As mentioned, the Australian wheat harvest may get further downgrades but record global production this year is tough to justify higher prices just yet. Overall, this report seemed to act like a commercial and we’ll likely get back to our regular programming with the January W.A.S.D.E., where we can expect final revisions to the production numbers.

4-H Canada youth dive into hands-on science Ottawa, ON – November 6, 2014 – 4-H Canada is pleased to announce the launch of innovative and hands-on programming that allows Canadian youth to dive into the fascinating field of science and technology.

By launching a new 4-H Science & Technology Leadership Development Pillar, 4-H Canada is encouraging youth to explore the amazing world of science and technology and apply the experiential skills they gain to their own lives. This cutting-edge new pillar will also help to provide accessible STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education to youth in Canada through a fun and playful delivery vehicle.

One of the many new initiatives available to 4-H youth across the country is the 4-H Canada Science Contest, which kicked off October 17, 2014 in partnership with Bayer CropScience, and will run until January 16, 2015. 4-H clubs nationwide are invited to send in a submission based on the question, “If you could invent something that would change the world of agriculture, what would it be?” 4-H Canada is looking forward to seeing the brilliant ideas of youth brought to life through models, illustrations or blueprints.

Other exciting initiatives set to roll out over the next two years, with support from long-time 4-H partner Bayer CropScience, include the 2015 Youth Ag-

Summit in Australia. As the follow-up to the inaugural Youth Ag-Summit, which was hosted in Canada’s own Calgary, AB in 2013, this amazing and inspiring event brings together young leaders from around the world to address food security by formulating and implementing ideas on “Feeding a Hungry Planet.”

“As a long-standing partner of 4-H, we believe in the work they are doing to ensure Canada’s leaders are interested and prepared for their future,” said Derrick Rozdeba, Manager, Marketing Communications with Bayer CropScience Inc. “Their venture into STEM programming aligns with our motto – ‘Science for a Better Life’ – and it’s important that today’s youth understand the vast opportunities available to them in Canadian agriculture.”

Yet another valuable new development for 4-H Canada will be enhanced participation at the CanadaWide Science Fair. At the 2015 edition of this renowned event—and with support from Bayer CropScience— 4-H Canada will be awarding scholarships to creative youth who enter a project centered on contributing to the field of agriculture. In 2016, 4-H Canada will have even greater involvement in the Canada-Wide Science Fair by developing an entire 4-H Canada Stream to encourage strong participation by 4-H’ers nationwide.

4-H Canada has also partnered up with Youth Science Canada in order to provide high quality, science-based training to 4-H club leaders and provincial staff. The 4-H Hands-on Science – Powered

by Smarter Science workshops will inspire staff and leaders to bring science to life in a fun, interactive,

and youth-oriented way. The workshops will also help increase 4-H Canada’s impact on youth and support capacity building of volunteers and professional staff.

Each province will have a “science ambassador” who will help drive enthusiasm for incorporating science into everyday 4-H projects – thereby helping young leaders see the fascinating connection between the STEM fields and agriculture.

“Smarter Science engages youth in science while stimulating higher-order thinking skills,” said Brad McCabe, Executive Director at Youth Science Canada.

“Using an inquiry-based instruction model encourages participating youth to develop their own questions, hypotheses, and experiments in a completely hands-on setting. This helps provide our youth with the necessary skills for the future job market.”

4-H Canada’s CEO, Shannon Benner, is proud of the new sciencebased programming and excited to see the positive impact it will have on today’s youth.

“Our new 4-H Science & Technology Leadership Development Pillar is all about providing exciting opportunities for young people to get inspired and enthusiastic about science,” said Benner. “We are pleased and honoured to have forged new partnerships with Youth Science Canada and Bayer CropScience. With their help and support, we are building young leaders who are engaged in science and equipped to be both current and future innovators.”

The head of the faculty of Agricultural Life and Environmental Sciences (ALES) at the University of Alberta says he has more than one focus for his faculty.

“We want to make sure we are providing those new ideas that find their way into people’s lives, whether they are new cultivars or new ways of reclaiming land,” says Stan Blade, dean, ALES, Edmonton.

“We also want to make sure we work with governments to help establish policies that are good for the province’s economy and long-term sustainability.”

The faculty is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2015. Blade says the faculty has changed tremendously over its first 100 years. “We’ve expanded from those early days into many new areas like human ecology,

food and nutrition, and environmental sciences.”

Blade says graduating classes from the faculty numbered just 30-40 individuals as recently as the 1960s. Today, the faculty is home over 1,600 undergraduates and over 500 graduate students. But, despite the growth and changes, Blade says the underlying philosophy remains the same.

“For us, it’s about the people–getting great researchers, making a superb education experience for both our undergraduate and graduate students. We’ve had a lot of success the past few years and we want to build on that.”

10 The Northern Horizon, November 21, 2014

Farmers want majority ownership of CWB www.fna.ca, Nov 6, 2014 SASKATOON — Farmers of North America (“FNA”), a Saskatoon based organization representing more than 10,000 farmers across Canada, today announced that as of Tuesday, October 14, 2014, FNA has received $45 million in non-binding expressions of interest from farmers to build a new grain handling business integrated with fertilizer supply and distribution (the “Genesis Project”). FNA has created Genesis Grain & Fertilizer Limited Partnership (“Genesis LP”) to be the vehicle through which the Genesis Project will be developed.

While the expressions of interest are non-binding, FNA spokesperson Bob Friesen said that, given the short time in which farmers have had to consider the Genesis Project, the $45 million

constitutes an historic effort.

“In the first week farmers completed expressions of interest exceeding $10 million,” Friesen said, “In the second week it was over $20 million; and now we have passed $45 million, all while farmers are completely engaged in the harvest.”

An Offering Memorandum dated October 10, 2014 in connection with the offering of limited partnership units in Genesis LP (the “Offering”) was finalized Friday evening. Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. has agreed to act as Agent in connection with the Offering.

The Offering is only available to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in applicable securities laws and to “farmers” as that term is defined in the limited partnership agreement governing Genesis LP. A “farmer” who

is also an “accredited investor” may view the Offering Memorandum and supporting documents at www.fna.ca/ grain. Visitors to the website will be asked to complete a short questionnaire to ensure they meet both the definition of “accredited investor” and “farmer.”

Part of the Genesis project has always included Genesis LP’s desire to acquire the CWB. Friesen noted the CWB told reporters last week that the timeline for privatization of the CWB has been accelerated.

“If FNA and Laurentian Bank Securities were able to market this opportunity to farmers for an extended period of time, say two months, then FNA feels confident that it could raise an amount equal to the value of the CWB,” Bob Friesen said. Friesen went on to say “I want to emphasize that

most farmers have not had the ability to turn their attention to the Genesis project, including the potential acquisition of the CWB because of the harvest. If the privatization of the CWB has been accelerated such that another entity acquires it before Genesis can raise the necessary funds, this once in a lifetime opportunity for Canadian farmers will be lost forever.”

FNA’s view has always been that Canadian farmers should get the first opportunity to acquire the CWB. By giving Genesis LP a period of exclusivity, it would have the required time to raise its required funds and negotiate a suitable transaction with the CWB and the Government of Canada.

Pets can have arthritis too

by Dr. Zoë Ross With winter approaching, we may notice that our pets, especially those that are older, seem to slow down a little. Animals can get osteoarthritis (also sometimes referred to as degenerative joint disease) too. In fact up to 20% of adult dogs can suffer from this condition.

Arthritis involves erosion or degeneration of joint cartilage that normally provides a smooth gliding surface for the joint. This leads to development of new bone on the joint surface and around the edge of the joint and inflammation of the joint capsule (fibrous ‘bag’ that contains the joint). All of the above create pain and discomfort. It can occur as a result of aging and normal wear and tear, or it can be a complication of other orthopedic conditions such as hip dysplasia, tendon or ligament damage, poor conformation or other injuries.

Your pet isn’t going to say to you, “Man, my knee sure hurts when I first get up and walk around”, so you need to watch for the subtle signs of arthritis.

These include: difficulty standing up after lying down, reluctance to go up or down stairs, lameness, stiffness, and sometimes “grumpiness”. Pet’s will sometimes lick or chew at their feet or legs if they have some pain.

Vets can do specific tests to determine if your animal has arthritis or joint problems such as measure-

are very beneficial.

A group of products known as nutraceuticals have proven to be effective in reducing pain and increasing joint mobility in dogs and cats. Examples include glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, and MSM. These products have anti-inflammatory and cartilage protective properties. There are many products available; I tend to prefer those that have all of the above and the omega fatty acids in them. There are liquid forms, chewable tablets and powders that can be mixed in with your pet’s food.

Laser therapy can also be a very beneficial option for pets with arthritis. It will help improve circulation and reduce inflammation in painful conditions.

There are various other therapeutic options including massage, exercises, electrical stimulation that can help as well.

There are also pharmaceutical options available to help make your pet more comfortable and to reduce the inflammation in their joints. There are number of anti-inflammatory pain medications available. Other veterinary administered products include Cartrophen Vet® (pentosan polysulfate) which is designed to decrease cartilage breakdown and lubricate the joint.

Many of these medications are safe to use providing your pet doesn’t have any other health concerns and will help improve their quality of life. Your veterinarian can work with you to determine which medical options are the most suitable for your pet.

If you are concerned that your pet may have arthritis and want to get more information on how you can improve your pet’s quality of life, make an appointment with your veterinarian. www.dcvet.ca

ments of joint flexion and extension done with a special instrument called a goniometer, measurement of muscles which generally get smaller (atrophy) when an animal has arthritis and isn’t moving normally, and also x-rays which will show bony changes within the joint as a result of the inflammation. An examination will also determine if there is an underlying medical problem that is causing the arthritis that needs to be addressed.

Unfortunately arthritis can’t be “fixed” but it can be managed. The goal of arthritis treatment is to arrest or slow the progression of the disease, control pain and improve function. Fortunately there are many different options for helping pet’s with arthritis be more comfortable and functional. Sometimes surgery can be an option to resolve the underlying problem, especially if your pet has a torn ligament, an unstable patella or an underlying developmental disease.

Nutrition and weight control are very important.

Obesity puts additional stress on joints that are already painful. If you pet is obese then a weight management plan should be instituted. Exercise and physical therapy can both be very beneficial. Controlled exercise on a regular daily basis help keep arthritic joints mobile and also help keep the muscles that support these joints stronger and more functional. Your veterinarian can also recommend specific exercises that help improve flexibility and function. Environmental management such as making sure your pet has a comfortable spot to sleep (warm and dry with a padded bed), doesn’t have to walk on slippery surfaces such as laminate floors or ice outside, and doesn’t have to jump in and out of vehicles or go up and down stairs

Plan accordingly when cattle prices are strong: experts COURTESY FARM CREDIT CANADA NOVEMBER 14, 2014

by Richard Kamchen The bulls are in the cattle market, but farmers hoping to cash in by expanding their cow herds need to protect themselves from unforeseen risks, say market experts.

After over a decade of depressed prices, the sun is once again shining on the cattle industry.

“It’s been phenomenal,” says Brian Perillat, manager and senior analyst at Canfax, a division of Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. “I don’t know many people who can say they expected this strong of a market by any means.”

A recent report by TD Economics notes cattle prices rose steadily since mid-2013, and reached record highs this year on strong demand and tight supplies.

“Livestock prices are likely to remain quite elevated for some time, as supplies (in both Canada and the United States) are tight and will take time to rebuild,” the report says.

Perillat also sees potential long-term strength in the cattle market.

“The consumers are paying, supply of cattle is going to be tight and could even get tighter in 2015, and with reasonable feed costs and a weaker dollar, hopefully we could see this last two, three, or more years,” Perillat says.

But producers looking to expand herds can’t count on guaranteed good times. Bruce Viney, risk management specialist with Alberta Agriculture, urges farmers to develop a five-year cash flow plan.

“Know where your cash is going to be: Can you make the payments on those cows if things go bad? What happens if demand doesn’t turn out as good as it appears to be? What happens if the economies around the world go down and prices drop? You need that plan to be able to weather the storm if it was to come,” Viney says.

Alberta Agriculture has a new tool for producers to use in calculating longterm returns to a beef cow or heifer investment.

A free test version of the Excel spreadsheet template, which calculates production costs, cash flow and return to equity given various bred stock prices and future calf selling prices, can

Corn Grazing There has been a lot of interest in grazing standing corn as an alternative feeding option. Corn was first looked at by WBDC in 2001, where they compared 9 corn varieties for establishment, input costs, and production and forage quality (source: WBDC 2001 Factsheet Comparison of Corn Grazing Varieties).

Since then, WBDC has continued to look at corn as a viable option for extending the grazing season, as it may provide better ac-cess for cattle than swath grazing in years with heavy snowfall.

A recent project comparing corn and swath grazing may be something to ask Bart about on Dec 3!

Crop Residue Turning your cows out into a field after harvest is nothing new; the uncertainty comes with what they are eat-ing while they’re out there. Grain blown out the back of the combine, weeds, grass at the fenceline and straw that’s been chopped and spread all have varying feed values. Another option for utilizing crop residue as a feed source was explored at WBDC, and involves the use of a whole-buncher (AJ Manufacturing, Calgary AB), which is attached to the combine and collects the crop residue and leaves it in piles.

These piles are more readily available to the cows than straw/chaff spread on the ground, and remain available after snowfall.

In a winter feeding systems project at WBDC, this straw/chaff system was compared to swath grazing and bale grazing. Barley was cut at the mid-dough stage for greenfeed bales or swath grazing, and left to mature for the straw/chaff piles. During both winters, there were more days of feed available in the swath and bale grazing systems than in the straw/chaff system. The straw/chaff system also had lower feed quality (50% TDN, 10% CP), so cows were supplemented with a range pellet (78% TDN, 14% CP).

The results of this winter feeding systems project sheds light on cow performance in a variety of alternative feeding systems that are options in the Peace.

Animals in the straw/chaff system had the least gain (0.5lbs/d), likely due to the lower quality of the feed.

The bale and swath grazing systems had equal rates of gain (0.88 and 0.89 lbs/d respectively). Overall, WBDC found no negative effects on cow performance as a result10644 of anySpring of the Mountain more extensive winter feeding - Composite

Centre (WBDC) will be one of the speakers at the upcoming Peace Cattle Day (Dec 3). He will be touching on some of the research being done at WBDC involving alternative feeding systems for backgrounding steers and heifer development.

Based outside Lanigan, SK, WBDC is home to a Black Angus herd of 350 and is the base for research “bridging the gap between the lab and the land.”

Heading up the research are Dr. Bart Lardner, Dr. Paul Jefferson and Kathy Larson (a beef economist) with focus on the management and economics of cow/calf production, grazing management of perennial and annual forages, and sustainable cow/calf production systems.

The ranch is staffed by a manager, assistant manager, research technician, full-time staff, and summer students. I was lucky enough to be a summer student, and part-time help through the winter and calving season in 2012/13. It was a great experience to see research being done and having it be so accessible to producers. They also practice what they preach at WBDC, using the results of their research to develop management practices for the ranch. Cost analysis is part of every project conducted at WBDC, so the systems they are investigating can be assessed on the basis of cost effectiveness in addition to production quality. This is an aspect of their research that is especially beneficial when comparing alternative feeding systems.

Alternative Feeding Systems In recent years WBDC did a variety of projects centred around the idea of alternative feeding systems.

In the Peace, there are already many producers using these strategies to extend their grazing seasons, so the work being done at WBDC is a model for options in the Peace. Common alternatives to conventional drylot feeding systems currently include swath grazing, bale grazing, bale processing and stockpiling pastures for later season grazing. The thing these systems allSale: have 30+ in common is thatSimmental you bring theHeifer cows For Purebred to theCalves, feed, instead of bringing the feed to the cows. all Polled, Solid Red or Black.

To help save the caribou, the B.C. government needs to capture dozens of moose – from a helicopter.

But these moose will not end up mounted in somebody’s living room. They will instead be collared, tagged and released for a joint study with the University of Northern B.C. and the Ministry of Forestry, Land and Natural Resources. Chris Ritchie, who manages of fish and wildlife recovery program for the ministry, said that the project is meant to gather information on wildlife in the region. Right now, the caribou is an endangered species, and many groups – including the provincial government – are trying to take them off that list. However, the province is concerned about predators eating and killing caribou, “and we think most of that predation is from wolves.”

“We think that the system is a bit out of balance because of more moose and disparate distribution of moose, so something is going on there,” Ritchie explained, adding that in their view, “the wolf numbers are being propped up by moose numbers.” More moose may mean more wolves that are killing the

caribou, in other words. So researchers need to figure out where these moose are going, what they’re doing and whether the researchers’ points are borne out, with the use of tags. To get the animals they need for the study, Ritchie said, they have to fly up in a helicopter into the far wilds of northeastern B.C. and capture the moose with a net gun. They hope to collar 60 moose across three study areas.

The use of a net gun is “the main capture technique” for wild animals in B.C., according to Ritchie, as it’s much simpler than drugging the animals. “(In the past) we used mostly drugs to sedate animals – moose, deer, bears and wolves,” explained Ritchie. “Animals are constrained for a much shorter period (with a net gun). It works. Mortality is nearly non-existent in the capture.”

The hunt is expected to take place from January to March 2015. The overall project is expected to last between two to three years.

“We don’t want to rush into this, because the future actions might be potentially expensive or make a long-term commitment,” he said. “We want to make sure that commitment is based on science.” reporter@ahnfsj.ca

The trouble with being co

One might think being comfortable would be a good thing and it is, however, when it comes to improving yourself and your horses, always doing what is comfortable doesn’t move things forward.

Being comfortable keeps us avoiding specific issues and causes us to worry about things or situations for years. If we move ourselves and our horses out of our comfort zones periodically, there would be much more progress and improvement. The more often we are stretching, reaching, experiencing and exposing ourselves and our horses to new things, the faster we grow and the bigger our comfort zone becomes.

If you want to get fit, for example, it is hard to do while comfortably lying on the couch. You have to get up and sweat, run on the treadmill for a mile or two.

It will be uncomfortable to begin with but soon two miles will be something you look forward to. If you want to go to university and get a career in something, you are going to have to stay in your dorm room and study, play very little and hit the books. I like to reinterpret being uncomfortable as building, progressing, learning and developing.

Last month I facilitated a Corporate Leadership Development with a group of executives from Calgary. Just being out in the woods away from their normal daily routine brought many of them outside of their comfort zones. I brought a student with me and this is what she had to say about her experience: On the second day of the Corporate Leadership

Development, a Mantracker session was organized.

Glenn was on horseback and the teams of executives got a head start and tackled the course with the hopes of not getting caught by Glenn. They were supplied with maps and specific check in points, we weren’t provided with anything. I was actually not scheduled to participate but the president of the company had gotten a helmet camera to capture some of the action and needed someone to wear it.

I was super excited to be a part of this adventure and of course nervous of the unexpected. After the teams had a nice head start it was our time to go so we entered the field and immediately there was a very steep mountain, ok most people would call it a hill but being from Florida, to me it was a mountain, and it was steep! So of course Glenn decided to start heading down it. I thought, there is no way in hell that is going to happen and I opted to take the long, not so steep way, all the while thinking, I am not off to a good start here! As I turned back to look where he might be, I noticed him back up on the top of the mountain/hill, galloping around on his horse Az, looking for tracks and for the teams. Once we met at the bottom of the hill, Glenn led the way over level ground at a nice trot or canter as we were hot on the tracks of one of the teams. This gave me some time to pull myself together and start enjoying the adventure.

The views were just amazing as we were in God’s country and all around us, in every direction, all you

could see was nature, big open green fields, creeks, rivers, mountains, forests - oh the trees were magical, with golden fall leaves, and added to the day was the wildlife. I was riding Tara who was a super star, very willing to join in on the fun but also right with me the entire day. We went from trotting and cantering around the open fields to coming to complete stops when we had to hide, while Glenn investigated things or when we waited for teams to cross our paths. As we were hiding in the trees Tara would show some of her nerves, sometimes it was hard to keep her feet still. Once we established the importance of her not moving around in the bush, she started popping her lower lip over and over. Now if you do not know Tara, she is a 1400-pound white horse, kind of hard to “hide” and the added noise was not helping our tactics. I gave her a couple of reassuring rubs and she started relaxing in this new environment and blowing out over and over and over. Not really anything I could do here, just happy she was relaxing.

We tracked the teams for several hours, we had captured one team earlier in the day and then we found the last checkpoint where we were informed that one team had made it past the finish line and the other had not checked in yet. Glenn made a strategic move to hide in the trees and wait for them. Little did we know they had watched us walk up to the checkpoint. As the team grew tired of waiting for us, one of the members crawled on his belly to get the

r001887287

omfortable

r001832728

required card from the checkpoint without us even seeing him. When Glenn figured it out we were off like lightning and trust me, Glenn was not waiting for anyone, he was going to capture this team! One could seriously get lost up in this area so without hesitation, I just took off after him. As we were galloping up the mountain, jumping the fallen trees that were scattered on the path, I was all fired up in the moment, I had my reins in my left hand as my right hand was turning on the different buttons on my helmet cam to capture the adventure. Yes, to be clear here, we were galloping up the side of the mountain, jumping fallen trees and ducking under branches. Imagine that just hours before I was too unconfident to venture down the steep hill at a walk and now confidently galloping up the mountain. We took the team by surprise as Glenn got in front of them and cut them off as they were hiking up the mountain.

One of the general themes of our time with this company was the importance of getting outside of your comfort zone. So many of us live our lives, day in and day out, being comfortable and it is hard to learn and grow if we do not challenge ourselves to do and to be more. This was a great example of being outside my comfort zone and tackling things I was not sure I could tackle. Now my horse and I are more prepared for the unexpected and we have raised the bar for our horsemanship. Donna Blem Often I see people that are very uncomfortable being uncomfortable. I noticed over the years that the more uncomfortable I was, the more I was learning, which is a good thing. However, some common sense has to prevail because getting too far out there could mean the learning curve is too steep for where we are at that moment.

The horsemanship students that improve the quickest are the ones that welcome being out of their comfort zone. Everything should be done gradually, though, because the goal is to expose and expand, not explode and rebuild. If you are in a learning environment and feel uncomfortable and a little stretched, that would be a very good thing. The key to practice is to reach. If you try your hardest, what can you almost do? Reach beyond what your current abilities are. I read one time that when it comes to building talent, struggle is not an option, it is a biological necessity.

‘Since 1957’

November 12, 2014 Calgary, AB – The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) applauds the efforts of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Minister Gerry Ritz and Canada Beef Inc. to promote Canadian beef in China. China holds huge potential for Canada’s beef cattle producers, making efforts to reinforce and expand the reach of the high-quality Canadian beef brand among the growing Chinese middle class more important than ever.

While in China this week on a trade mission, Minister Ritz helped promote Canadian beef at a special Canada Beef Inc. branding event in Guangzhou.

The event, which also saw participation from Canada Beef Inc. Chair Jack Hextall, was the Minister’s latest effort to help Canada Beef Inc. expand its footprint in China, Canada’s second largest trading partner.

In a trade mission to China earlier this year, Minister Ritz also promoted Canadian beef, assisted by CCA President Dave Solverson and Executive Vice President Dennis Laycraft. It was during this June trade mission that Minister Ritz announced progress on market access expansion plans to include bonein beef from under-thirty-month (UTM) animals and live cattle.

Solverson said Chinese demand for beef has grown well beyond what they are able to produce domestically.

Some forecasts indicate China could double its global imports of beef per year before the end of the decade, he

added. “Having participated in similar promotional events in China, I can tell you that Canadian beef is viewed very favourably and it’s important to seize the opportunity to build on that momentum,” Solverson said.

Canadian beef exports to China have grown rapidly since 2012. In 2013, Canadian beef exports to mainland China reached 6,000 tonnes valued at $25 million, up from 1,500 tonnes valued at $5.4 million in 2012. Exports to Mainland China from January to September 2014 are up 60 per cent in volume to 5,850 tonnes (2.5% of total exports) and just under the annual volume for 2013 of 6,000 tonnes.

With growth in Chinese beef consumption expected to be supplied by imports over the next three to five years, the CCA will continue working to get the technical conditions in place and define the timelines on the expansion to full access. Under the staged approach to full market access with China announced in 2010, China gave Canada initial access for boneless UTM beef. The CCA and the Government of Canada have worked since then towards restoring full beef access.

Deere earns spot on 2014 global list of top companies for leadership MOLINE, Illinois (November 12, 2014) – Deere & Company has been selected 16th on the 2014 Global Top Companies for Leaders list – a comprehensive study that recognizes best-inclass management practices, especially in the area of leadership development.

This marks the third consecutive time Deere has been named to the list.

The study is completed by Aon Hewitt, a leading global talent, retirement and health solutions consulting firm. Besides placing 16th overall on the global listing, Deere also is recognized as

10th among companies based in North America.

“Top Companies for Leaders are passionate about cultivating resilient and engaging leaders who take the time to know and develop employees and understand what experiences they need to rise above the rest,” said Pete Sanborn, global talent practice leader at Aon Hewitt. “Deere is among a select group of organizations that excel at building and growing a strong leadership environment.”

The Top Companies for Leaders

study assesses talent management and leadership practices of organizations around the world. Independent, expert judges rank companies based on criteria including strength of leadership practices and culture, global leader development and alignment of leadership and business. A company’s overall reputation as well as business and financial performance are also factors.

“Leadership and employee development are important factors in the success of John Deere now and in the future,” said Sam Allen, chairman

and chief executive officer of Deere & Company. “John Deere employees make the difference in delivering superior products and services to our customers.”

Aon Hewitt states that the Top Companies for Leaders study is the most comprehensive global research on leadership, examining the link between leadership practices and financial results.

(Calgary, Alberta) November 4, 2014 – Two Alberta Barley directors have been acclaimed to the board following the close of the nominations period on Oct. 31, 2014.

David Bishop (Barons) will replace outgoing region one director Greg Stamp (Enchant) and Jeff Nielsen (Olds) will replace outgoing chairman and region two director Matt Sawyer (Acme). Both Stamp and Sawyer are completing their second three-year term this December.

Current director-at-large Glenn Logan’s (Lomond) term also concludes in December. The director-at-large position remains open.

After spending a year as delegate, Bishop said he was enthused to get more involved and represent the interests of Alberta’s barley farmers. Bishop is also a regional director and vicepresident of the Association of Alberta Co-op Seed Cleaning Plants.

“There is no more important voice in agriculture than that of farmers,” he said. “I look forward to working with the board and representing the interests of the outstanding farmers we have in region one.”

As a current delegate with Alberta Barley, and a regional representative with the Alberta Wheat Commission, Nielsen is no stranger to grassroots organizations.

He said that he would tap into this experience to ensure that barley farmers work together towards a sustainable future.

“We are accountable to our farmers, and I look forward to representing them well,” said Nielsen. “One thing I’ve learned from my involvement with commissions is that cooperation and collaboration are the keys to success.”

The directors’ terms officially commence on Dec. 11, 2014 at the annual general meeting.

Partnerships in Mexico highlight health virtues of Canadian canola oil Canola Council of Canada November 14, 2014 12:57:06 PM In recognition of World Diabetes Day 2014, CanolaInfo and the Mexican Diabetes Federation (Federacion Mexicana de Diabetes or FMD) joined efforts to inform people about the importance of consuming a daily, healthy breakfast and the right types of fat to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). People with diabetes are especially at risk for this disease.

“Partnerships with organizations such as FMD play an important role in building markets for Canadian canola by promoting the virtues of canola oil with consumers,” says Bruce Jowett, VP Market Development with the Canola Council of Canada. “CVD and diabetes are primary health concerns among the Mexican population and we are working to raise awareness that canola oil is a heart-healthy fat that can help reduce these risks.”

Jowett noted that a recent Mexican consumer study revealed that awareness of canola oil has reached 40 percent – up from 9 percent just two years ago.

“We are pleased with the results so far and are continuing to align with the health and nutrition community to en-

gage consumers in key export markets,” says Jowett.

As part of the 2014 World Diabetes Day campaign, FMD nutritionists are joining the International Diabetes Federation in saying breakfast is the most important meal of the day. “Correct eating begins with breakfast,” both organizations say, and a healthy lifestyle should also include a daily exercise routine of 30 to 60 minutes.

Debby Braun, consulting dietitian to the Mexican Olympic Committee, added that choosing the right types of fat is essential to have a balanced and healthy diet. In Mexico, the use of cooking oil is frequent in homes and restaurants, so it’s important to choose a healthy type of oil.

“The number of people with cardiovascular disease is on the rise, but we can help protect our hearts with simple changes such as replacing saturated fat found in butter and lard with healthy vegetable oils like canola oil that contain mono- and polyunsaturated fats,” Braun said. “These oils can help reduce cholesterol and the risk of heart disease.”

Braun noted that canola oil has the least saturated fat – only 7 percent – of

all common cooking oils. It is also a good source of omega-3 and omega-6 fats, which are considered “essential” because the body cannot produce them on its own. Canola oil contains vitamins E and K as well.

Scientific studies have shown that canola oil can help control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes on a lowglycemic index diet as well as reduce abdominal fat in people at risk of prediabetes. Other studies have shown that as little as 1.5 tablespoons of canola oil per day in place of saturated fat can help reduce the risk of heart disease.

As a result, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized in 2006 a qualified health claim for canola oil related to this benefit.

“Using canola oil is a simple way to help protect the heart for only a few cents a day,” Braun concluded. “It is an economic option to prepare dishes with great flavor while contributing to a healthy diet. Look for vegetable oil labels that say ‘100 percent canola oil’ to make a healthy purchase for the heart.”

CanolaInfo is the oil promotion program of the Canola Council of Canada (CCC). The CCC is a full value chain organization representing canola

growers, value added processors, life science companies and exporters. Keep it Coming 2025 is the strategic plan to ensure the canola industry’s continued growth, demand, stability and success – achieving 52 bushels per acre to meet global market demand of 26 million metric tonnes by the year 2025.

“We had a really good, constructive discussion. The difficulty we had last winter in moving our products to market was a wake-up call. The current

Saskatchewan tallies The Northern Horizon is now crop figures

by Neil Billinger Cool temperatures early in the growing season and rain at the wrong times pushed Saskatchewan crop yields back to average levels following record production in 2013.

Saskatchewan Agriculture’s final crop report of the year indicates quality was average to below average.

Seeding started a little later than usual with one-third of the total acreage planted in a one week period between May 19 and 26.

A wet June, especially in southeast and east central regions, delayed crop development. Some fields had nutrient deficiencies and there were spraying delays. By the end of the month, 48 per cent of provincial cropland had surplus topsoil moisture. It’s estimated that between two and three million acres were too wet to produce a crop.

The weather improved in July, but humid conditions delayed haying. The first three weeks of August proved to be the highlight of the growing season before a couple of weeks of wet weather.

“The sun and heat finally came in August, but it began to rain at the end of the month,” says Shannon Friesen, a cropping management specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture. “That not only hampered harvest efforts, it reduced a lot of the quality on the cereals and pulses.”

Only 15 per cent of durum, 51 per cent

of spring wheat and 37 per cent of lentils were in the top two grades. Fusarium was a downgrading factor for the cereals with higher levels of root rot in peas and lentils due to the early wet conditions. The quality of the canola crop was much better at 74 per cent number one.

The weather improved during the second half of September allowing most farmers to finish combining by early to mid-October.

Saskatchewan Agriculture made the following average yield estimates based on information from its provincial network of crop reporters. Spring wheat was 38 bushels an acre, durum 37 bushels an acre, canola 31 bushels an acre, barley 58 bushels an acre, oats 82 bushels an acre, peas 34 bushels an acre and lentils 1,371 pounds per acre.

Topsoil moisture on provincial cropland is rated as 13 per cent surplus, 81 per cent adequate, five per cent short and one per cent very short.

Friesen says moisture is still a concern in some parts of the province.

“It’s still a little wet over parts of eastern Saskatchewan, especially that YorktonMoosomin area,” Friesen says. “I know there are concerns that if there is a lot of snow this winter, there could be issues next spring.”

Drier areas in the northwest received some wet snow at the start of the week to improve topsoil moisture conditions.

Manure management records are mandatory in Alberta AGRI-NEWS NOVEMBER 17, 2014

Under the Agricultural Operation Practices Act (AOPA), anyone, including crop and livestock producers, as well as manure haulers and applicators, who handles more than 500 tonnes per year of manure, must keep records for a minimum of five years.

“When we are talking about manure, we’re including everything from manure, compost, bedding, and feed to the wash water,” says Deanne Madsen, CFO (confined feeding operation) extension specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD), Morinville. “Anything that touches manure is considered manure and included in this total.”

The records may be requested by the Natural Resources Conservation Board (NRCB), says Madsen.

“Records are required for recording manure production, applications and transfers to ensure soil nitratenitrogen and salinity levels aren’t being exceeded.”

To help put 500 tonnes into perspective, Madsen says if you’re using a solid manure applicator with a thirty tonne load, 500 tonnes is about 19 trucks worth.

An excellent resource is the Nutrient Management Planning Guide. Madsen says there is a table in the guide with solid manure production estimates for different livestock categories.

“If you are managing liquid manure, about 100,000 imperial gallons is equal to 500 tonnes of ma-

CowByte$ AGRI-NEWS NOVEMBER 17, 2014

CowByte$ can help reduce winter feeding costs and improve nutrition.

“Cowbyte$ is an easy-to-use ration balancing program for cattle developed by Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development for producers to use in designing cattle feeding programs,” says Barry Yaremcio, beef forage specialist, Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “Cowbyte$ helps producers make optimum use of their homegrown feeds, while only purchasing the necessary volume of supplementary feeds. Taking advantage of lower cost alternative feeds or by-products can reduce winter feeding costs and improve nutrition.”

Forage prices this fall are significantly higher than in previous years, says Yaremcio. “When feed costs make up approximately 70 per cent of the variable cost of keeping a cow over winter; anything that can be done to reduce costs improves net profit. For every dollar winter feed cost are reduced, net return or benefit to the operation is four dollars and twenty eight cents.”

Providing a cost-efficient balanced ration also impacts cow productivity. “Pregnant and lactating cows that have an adequate ration that meets nutritional requirements impacts milk production and reproductive performance in the next breeding season. Having more cows conceive earlier in the breeding season increases the number of calves available to sell (and possibly larger calves) which increases total income.”

Cowbyte$ is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems. It can also be run on a MAC in conjunction with Boot Camp, Parallels, Fusion or Crossover.

Cowbyte$ is available from ARD and costs $50. It is available online or by calling 1-800-292-5697 (tollfree in Canada) or 780-427-0391. Technical support is provided by the Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

nure,” says Madsen. She cites an example using dairy cows from the liquid manure production values in the AOPA Manure Characteristics and Land Base Code.

“If you have approximately 20 lactating dairy cows in a free stall barn that produce about 21 imperial gallons per day each, then you are managing approximately 158,000 imperial gallons and you’re going to need to keep records.”

Any operation in Alberta that is permitted under AOPA produces enough manure that manure management records must be kept. Records include who handled the manure, and what, where, and when manure was applied, says Madsen. “Essentially, this means recording how much manure was applied to meet crop needs based on soil tests. Repeat applications of manure at rates exceeding crop needs can reduce the soil’s ability to remain at peak productivity

over the long-term, as well as increase the chance of nutrients being lost to surface water and groundwater.

To avoid this, it is important to keep and refer back to manure management records frequently.”

For more information, there are two factsheets on the AOPA Legislation website under publications covering manure spreading regulations and record keeping.

“If you need the table, the factsheets, or help with any of this, contact an ARD CFO extension specialist through 310-FARM (3276),” adds Madsen. “You can also go directly to our website at www.agriculture. alberta.ca/aopa for more information.”

40 The Northern Horizon, November 21, 2014

On the open road

Iron Order Motorcycle Club member cleared I have followed the shooting case of the Black Piston member, Zachariah Tipton, with much interest as just before this shooting took place, I had interviewed members of the Iron Order Snow City Crew near Edmonton.

Over the past several months, members of the 1% world have blasted me for reporting on the Canadian chapters and members of the IO MC because in the US, the Iron Order is hated by the 1% clubs.

The IO MC which is a three piece outlaw club with a prospecting phase and is seen as a cop club by the 1%ers because they allow officers of various law enforcement agencies to be members. Reportedly the 1%ers say the IO MC in the US tends to instigate trouble in an attempt to allow law enforcement a way in to the various 1% clubs.

They are also hated because they wear Black & White which are the colours of the Outlaws (AOA) of which the Black Pistons are affiliated and they do so without having gone to the dominant for approval of their cuts as COC protocols would dictate. They did not go to the dominant because the IO does allow law enforcement members and are therefore not welcome into the Confederation of Clubs (COC).

The verdict regarding the shooting at Nippers Beach Grill in Jacksonville Beach, Florida that took place on June 26, 2014 is in.

The State Attorney’s office is not filing charges against the Iron Order MC prospect, Kristopher Stone, who shot and killed Zach Tipton. Justifiable homicide & justifiable use of deadly force by a citizen is the ruling.

The report is 10 pages long and it outlines the investigation into the shooting and identifies many of the witnesses who were interviewed.

I have saved the PDF into JPEG’s for those who wish to read the State Attorney’s findings, please watch the page numbers at the bottom of the images as Blogger makes it tough to get things in order.

There is also video to go with the report.

The 2 videos that accompany the report have been edited for time (IE - when the Black Pistons park their bikes and then walk to the Iron Order members takes about 4 minutes - that has been edited) The first video is the TV report/Press Conference presentation: I will sum the report up for you: The Black Pistons - 7 of them ride by members of the Iron Order MC and go park their bikes.

A few minutes later, three members of the Black Pistons walk towards the IO MC members, two from the front and one from behind.

Kris Stone was hit in the back of the head by Zachariah Tipton,

while he had been talking to one of the Black Piston members who met him face on.

A fight ensues that lasts about 10 seconds.

During this time, other members of the Black Pistons are approaching the fight.

Kris Stone pulls his weapon and fires, killing Zachariah Tipton.

The other Two Black Piston members do not provide aid to their brother, in fact they flee the immediate area. Some members reportedly return a few minutes later to remove Zachariah’s cut.

According to police, Zachariah Tipton had three knives, ammunition and a gun holster on him but his gun was not found. He also had brass knuckles and a mouth guard and was still wearing his motorcycle helmet and riding gloves.

During his autopsy it was noted that his hands had injuries consistent of someone who had been throwing punches.

Also according to the report, other members of the Black Pistons were also thought to be wearing mouth guards and were seen to be removing them and either rings or brass knuckles although authorities cannot be 100% sure what they were removing.

From all indications this was a planned attack by the Black Pistons.

Also according to the report, Kristopher Stone, the shooter is a

combat medic who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Mr. Stone had suffered blows and kicks to his head, his nose was broken and he had urinated himself during the attack. His hands showed no sign of having thrown punches.

In this case, the Iron Order Motorcycle Club is NOT the club who instigated the fight, it was clearly unprovoked and the Black Pistons were obviously the aggressors.

This is what it means to be a three piece patch wearing club member.

If you wear a three piece patch, although your club is reportedly a law abiding club, there will come a time when you will be called out and forced to defend your cut and your right to wear it.

Are you ready?

In this case, the aggressor dies.

As in all fights, the outcome could have been much different.

If you would like the PDF so you can read it, contact me and I’ll be happy to send you a copy.

What say you?

Have a fantastic Saturday and if you are blessed to be living somewhere where snow does not cover the ground, I hope you are riding!

Alberta FarmSafe plan testing to continue AGRI-NEWS NOVEMBER 10, 2014

Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) is looking for interested farm owners/managers to participate in a second pilot of the Alberta FarmSafe Plan, a safety management resource for Alberta farmers.

The first pilot program to test the Alberta FarmSafe Plan took place in 2013/14 with a group of nine farm owners/managers and was funded by Growing Forward. The program has been revised based on the feedback received.

ARD is currently recruiting for a second, larger pilot to run in the 2014/15 extension season with approximately 50 to 75 participants.

“We hope to get farmers involved representing a wide variety of farming types and sizes,” says Laurel Aitken, farm safety coordinator, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development.

“It’s the best way to get the feedback we need to ensure the FarmSafe Plan resources are useful across the industry.

“The Alberta FarmSafe Plan provides Alberta farmers with a step-bystep process to develop a health and safety plan,” explains Aitken. “Farmers will learn how to identify the hazards specific to their farm and how to take steps to eliminate or control them.

They will come out of the program understanding the importance of having

a safety plan and following through with training and communication to all workers, visitors and contractors.

The Alberta FarmSafe Plan manual and two-day workshop takes farmers through eight important elements to achieve the goal of an individualized safety plan.”

In addition, the Alberta FarmSafe Plan has been developed to comply with the Alberta Government Certificate of Recognition (COR). “A completed FarmSafe plan will provide all the necessary building blocks to obtain a voluntary COR,” explains Aitken.

“Becoming COR certified signifies that a business has an effective health and safety management system in place with the added benefit of discounts on Workers Compensation Board (WCB) premiums.”

A commitment to the pilot program will include two days of workshops led by a FarmSafe Advisor. The workshop along with all resource material is provided free of charge by ARD. Once a participant has completed the workshop, the work continues on-farm in cooperation with partners and employees to ensure implementation of the plan.

“The farm owner needs to go back to the farm and work with the employees who are doing these tasks every day in order to get a really good picture of the hazards and how to control them.”

Farmers interested in funding for

on-farm business management coaching or skills training related to health and safety training can go to the Growing Forward website to learn about the Business Opportunity Program and the Business Skills Management Program.

“The entire process from workshop to farm implementation will be evaluated by ARD for any needed changes,” says Aitken. “The feedback from those involved in the pilots is vital in developing a resource that will be effective for farmers who want to ensure the safety and health of their families and workers.”

Five sessions are planned for this winter: Edmonton January 7/ 21,
