Dream Home Lottery nearing sellout Last Early Bird Prize of SUV and Event Tickets awarded May 14, 2015 – Last night, the Rotary Club of Grande Prairie drew for the last of this year’s Dream Home Lottery Early Bird prizes, a 2015 GMC Terrain SUV from Ken Sargent GMC Buick in Grande Prairie. The lucky winner was Grande Prairie’s Anne Repetowski.

Five pairs of VIP Weekend Passes and two one-day VIP Corporate Tenst to Bud Country Fever were also given away.

Dream Home tickets are now 96% sold out and organizers predict the lottery will be sold out before the ticket deadline of May 31. Lottery manager Kevin Hilgers says “We printed a few more tickets than last year - so we passed last years’

sales a while ago. So we’re ahead of the game and hoping for a complete sell out”.

The Cash Jackpot 50-50 is now at $340,000. “It will be sold out at $350,000, so maybe this weekend,” says Hilgers. The winner takes half of that amount.

Susan B. Steward Award presented Alberta Women’s Institute District I Director, Frances Bogner, presented the Susan B. Stewart Award to Megan McClarty at the Grande Prairie Regional College, Fairview Campus, on April 28. Megan was chosen by the Animal Health Technology instructors for Outstanding Achievement in her first year of the program. Megan’s home town is Dawson Creek, B.C. Susan Barr Steward came to Peace River Crossing in 1913 from Scotland. She greatly admired the Indian and Métis people. Susan and her husband had two children,

both of whom died in infancy from unpasturized milk. Because of this, Susan was very active in the Women’s Institute, and served as the Alberta Provincial President from 1937 to1941. She was given a life membership in the Federated Women’s Institutes.

Susan B. Stewart passed away in 1979, and as she had no family, the AWI women of District One raised money to give her a nice Headstone on her grave in the Peace River cemetery. Funds were raised by raffling a quilt .made by Mary Brooks of Fairview.

AGRI-NEWS MAY 18, 2015

An ARD specialist said that over the last several years, there has been a great deal of concern in Alberta surrounding a serious disease called Late blight that mainly affects potatoes and tomatoes.

The favourable conditions for disease development has resulted in multiple outbreaks of Late blight in commercial, market garden and urban potato and tomato crops throughout parts of Alberta.

In 2015, this disease continues to be a risk for all Solanaceous crops (potato/ tomato family) grown in Alberta.

“The risk of introduction comes from either infected transplant material (tomatoes or other host crops) or infected seed potato stock (either imported or carried over). During the season, if spore loads build up, there is a risk of introduction of the pathogen via windblown/storm carried transfer,” said Rob Spencer, commercial horticulture specialist.

Late blight is most damaging on tomatoes and potatoes, but may also affect eggplants, peppers, petunias and some related Solanaceous weeds, such

as nightshade and wild tomato. Late blight is an aggressive disease that, if left unchecked, can cause significant and rapid crop losses in gardens, greenhouses, fields and in controlled environment storages, e.g. potato bins.

Spencer said that in the spring and early summer, growers of all potentially affected crops should monitor for symptoms in tomato transplants and in early emerging potato plants. “Watch for dark, water-soaked lesions, sometimes with yellow edges, that move in from leaf tips/margins, becoming brown and brittle within a couple of days. Late blight lesions are not contained by the leaf veins,” he said.

Spencer stresses that Late blight is a community disease that requires effort on the part of everyone to return Alberta to a Late blight-free status.

For more information about Late blight call 310-FARM (3276).

For more information on Late blight identification and management, see the Frequently Asked Questions document – Late blight in Potatoes and Tomatoes.

Promoting nutritious & delicious pulses is ‘a dream job’ for new food & nutrition coordinator May 4, 2015, Rachel Peterson, Communications Co-ordinator, Alberta Pulse Alberta Pulse welcomes Debra McLennan as its new Food and Nutrition Coordinator tasked with teaching more Albertans how to benefit from including dried peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas in their diets.

“We are thrilled to have a staff member dedicated to educating consumers about how surprisingly good pulses are for you and your health, as well as connecting with influencers like teachers and medical professionals,” said Alberta Pulse Executive Director Leanne Fischbuch. “The addition to our team of a dietitian with Debra’s knowledge, experience and enthusiasm will help to get the word out to more Albertans about the benefits of eating pulses as we prepare for International Year of Pulses 2016, as declared by the United Nations.”

McLennan has been a Registered Dietitian for 25 years, and was contracted to organize Alberta Pulse’s MISSION: IMPULSEIBLE Student Food Product Development Competition for the last two years.

“I’m very excited about the opportunity – it’s a dream job for me,” McLennan said. “I eat pulses, I love pulses, and the concept behind them. I’m excited to be more involved in the hands-on food side of promoting pulses and supporting farmers. It’s a great

team that I am joining. To be one of the pieces of the puzzle to educate people about the value of pulses to human health is very exciting.”

McLennan has always promoted pulses to her nutrition clients and looks forward to teaching even more people about the nutritional value and versatility of pulses like dried peas, beans, chickpeas and lentils.

“There has been a lot of research done to support the benefits of eating pulses and there is so much opportunity to connect,” she said. “Alberta Pulse does have programs in the schools and I’m looking forward to doing even more outreach. The next step is figuring out how we can best reach out to restaurants and chefs. It’s slowly coming but more work needs to be done. My focus is on reaching out to consumers.”

Rich in many nutrients - including protein, fibre, iron, folate, and potassium - pulses are low in fat and cholesterol-free, making them a healthy option as both a meat and starch alternative.

The Alberta Pulse Growers Commission represents 5,000 growers of field pea, dry bean, lentil, chickpea, faba bean and soybean in Alberta. Our vision is to have Alberta pulses recognized by consumers as environmentally friendly, healthy, nutritious, and recognized by all producers as being an essential element in a sustainable cropping system.

Grains this morning are mostly lower with a higher US dollar (which is why canola is up) and profit-taking after the upswing the last few sessions despite some sub-zero temperatures the last few nights. On the macro front, Greece still doesn’t have a new deal yet with its lenders with its next 1.1B Eurodollar payment less than 3 weeks away. On top of this, the ECB has all but said that they’ll ramp up their quantitative easing bond-buying program this summer which would help the US dollar remain higher. Yesterday, the WTO ruled against the US for COOL, meaning a trade war could possibly be looming depending if Canada and Mexico implement new tariffs if the US doesn’t change their meat-labeling process. Traders have continued to get out of their short positions over the last 3 sessions (Thursday, Friday, & yesterday as US markets were open), specifically in wheat, while only the soybean market saw its net position get more short last week.

This is mainly thanks to concerns of lots of US, Brazilian, & especially Argentinean beans out there (which I brought up 2 weeks ago!), but also that with this recent colder and wetter weather (depending on what part of the Midwest you farm), more soybeans may go into the ground because of their later planting window. Ultimately, the negatives are catching a lot of headlines – let’s do a little crop scouting first though and hope for some good news though.

Last week Russia got rid of their wheat export tax, opening up the gates for likely an additional 2M tonnes of grain getting shipped out before the end of the crop year. On that note, the Russian Ag Ministry noted that Mother Russia’s wheat exports, since February 1st (when the export tax was implemented) til now, were down 60% compared to last year at just 1.61M tonnes.

Nonetheless, exports to date out of Russia are up 16% year-over-year a 20.08M tonnes with most market analysts expecting that final number to be somewhere closer to 21.5M tonnes by the end of the year. Could we see the Russian wheat export tax come back? Possibly, especially if spring seeding remains behind schedule and the forecast for dry weather over the next 2-5 weeks is realized.

US corn seeded as of Sunday came in 85%, up 10 points week-over-week and still 10 points ahead of the 5-year average. Comparably, 45% of intended US soybean fields are officially in the ground, still 9 points ahead of the 36% 5-year average. US spring cereal seeding ratings continue to be way ahead of their seasonal pace, but most agronomists in the northern US states where this barley, spring wheat, etc. is getting planted say that the cold temperatures likely won’t have damaged too many fields (yet). US winter wheat goodto-excellent ratings improved by 1 point last week to 45% (and way better than last year’s 29% G/E at this time of the month), as the crop is heading out faster than usual with 68% headed, versus the 56% average.

Breaking it down further, G/E ratings in Kansas improved by 2 points to 29%, up by 1 point to 39% G/E in Oklahoma. However, while rains continue to fall in the Southern Plains, helping replenish dry soil beds there, it’s also creating disease & quality concerns for the soft winter wheat crop there, so we’ll have to keep our eye on that.

With all these negative temperatures, why is the market lower this morning? A rebounding US dollar and some decent data from yesterday afternoon’s USDA crop progress report are pressuring any continuation of the rally. How much damage has really been done?

Hard to say at this point some areas that were the first to go in for Plant 2015 might be experiencing a bit of RePlant 2015. There are some good resources out there to read up on to know whether or not you should, i.e. the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture’s thoughts on everything from pulses to cereals to oilseeds and Dekalb’s comments on canola re-seeding. The most important good news of the day? Bacon looks to finally be getting cheaper,

Clubroot resistance breakdown confirmed in fields across Alberta May 8, 2015, Canola Council of Canada Erosion of clubroot resistance is showing up across Alberta. Recent research by Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (AARD) and the University of Alberta (U of A) has confirmed the continued spread, with multiple virulent pathotypes suspected. Protecting against further erosion of current clubroot resistance requires a strategy focused on minimizing clubroot resting spore spread and keeping spore loads as low as possible.

In early 2014, U of A researcher Dr. Stephen Strelkov identified the presence of a different clubroot pathotype virulent on current forms of clubroot resistance. Further field surveillance in 2014 by AARD, the U of A and the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) confirmed that clubroot pathotypes capable of causing high levels of dis-

ease in resistant cultivars were present in 16 of 27 fields investigated across Alberta. The clubroot pathogen isolated from many of these fields was virulent on all clubroot resistant cultivars. It is suspected that there may be multiple pathotypes causing this loss of function of clubroot resistance.

“These new fields aren’t clustered around the original location of resistance breakdown. They are hundreds of kilometres apart and throughout the clubroot infested areas of the province” says Dan Orchard, agronomy specialist and clubroot lead with the CCC. “We need to continue to focus on both minimizing the spread of these new pathotypes and the buildup of resting spores in all fields.”

Management tactics Since equipment contaminated with clubroot-infested soil is the key mechanism for clubroot spread, good

sanitation on equipment during all field operations — including seeding and spraying — is recommended. “The level of sanitation should be based on the level of clubroot risk, but at least 90% of clubroot spores that move from field to field can be stopped by just scraping off 90% of the soil,” says Orchard.

“Preventing the buildup of resistant spores is best managed through longer rotations and the use of resistant varieties,” says Orchard. “If growers wait for clubroot to show up before choosing resistant varieties, the selection pressure for new virulent pathotypes is literally millions of times higher than if growers begin using these varieties before the disease shows up.”

AARD and the U of A continue to monitor the situation closely. Actions undertaken include ongoing surveillance for clubroot pathotypes capable of overcoming resistance,and development

Organic Alberta and Battle River Research Group are hosting a transition workshop in Tofield for crop and beef producers. Participants will hear from two experienced organic producers, as well as an organic inspector.

The Battle River Research Group is a non-profit, grassroots organization located in east-central Alberta committed to improving agriculture and provides credible, unbiased information using an integrated approach by partnering with

of a research program to evaluate and characterize the new clubroot pathotypes.

The CCC also advises that canola growers and agronomists scout their canola fields this summer with extra effort on clubroot identification. The best time to scout for clubroot symptoms on roots is late in the season, approximately two weeks before swathing, when root galls should be easy to identify.

Soil samples can be collected as well at any time of year and from non-canola fields to determine if the clubroot pathogen is present.

If resistance breakdown is suspected, contact your CCC agronomy specialist. Identifying breakdown will aid the entire industry in agronomic research and varietal development efforts to manage this disease,” Orchard says.

CONTROLLED TRAFFIC FARMING FIELD DAY

June 29th at Hillsboro Farms, Cleardale

WINNIPEG, MB, April 24, 2015 - Western Canadian farmers have additional tank mix options with BioBoost® Liquid this spring. Already approved as a tank mix with glyphosate, the label has been expanded to include herbicide tank mixes with Liberty®, Ares® and Centurion®.

BioBoost Liquid on canola is proven to enhance canola yields by 5% (2 bu/acre) on average and the expansion of the approved tank mix herbicides will make it easier for more farmers to incorporate

BioBoost Liquid into to their operations. “We know Western Canadian farmers are always looking for ways to maximize their yield and profitability which are also simple and easy to incorporate into their operations,” says Ken Bartsch, Director of Marketing at BrettYoung, “and BioBoost Liquid has done that for Genuity® Roundup Ready® canola growers. The tank mix label expansion brings that same level of convenience to Liberty® and Clearfield® canola growers.”

Time for a suspicious-weed take down May 1, 2015, Canola Council of Canada Ready for some detective work? The first few weeks of the growing season is a great time to police fields for suspicious weeds. Look for weeds that lived through the pre-seed burnoff or post-emergent sprays while others of the same species have died. These few weeds could be resistant to one or more herbicide groups, and it would be good to nab them early.

“It takes 14-21 days after a pre-seed glyphosate application for glyphosate-resistant kochia to become obvious, so keep an eye out while crossing over the farm while seeding or during in-crop herbicide applications,” says Angela Brackenreed, agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada.

Kochia is a hot topic. It is the first weed on the Prairies with known resistance to glyphosate. But kochia is far from the only herbicide-resistant weed to watch for. The website www.weedscience.org reports 21 different weeds with herbicide resistance in the Canadian Prairies, many of them with Group 1 or Group 2 resistance. Some have resistance to multiple groups. Wild oats with stacked resistance were detected 20 years ago, and some have resistance to Groups 1, 2, 8 and 25.

Hugh Beckie, research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Saskatoon, estimates that herbicideresistant weeds cost growers $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion per year. “This is based on a grower management questionnaire in

which growers identify yield or crop quality losses and additional herbicide costs associated with these weeds,” he says.

“Without management, these weeds will continue to spread and the effect on grower profits will only get worse,” Beckie says. The number of weeds with resistance continues to expand, as does the territory with resistant weeds. Beckie estimates that the number of acres on the Prairies with at least one resistant weed has gone from 10.9 million in the early 2000’s to 38.0 million in 2014. And his research shows that cleavers is one of the next most likely weeds to develop glyphosate resistance.

Fortunately, effective management strategies are available to prevent any type of resistance from occurring in the first place and to contain it once it does occur. “We don’t want growers to throw up their hands and give up. This is a manageable situation,” Brackenreed says.

“It starts with paying attention to weed patches and any performance issues that raise suspicion, then marking those spots and using integrated management tools to keep them contained or, ideally, remove them entirely.”

How to prevent herbicide resistance Diversification is at the root of prevention. “The key is to outsmart weeds by applying different products, using them at different times of the year, and using crop rotation — including winter crops that provide cover and competition in the fall and spring,” Brackenreed says.

The following tactics are most effec-

trolled weeds and correct rates. Cutting rates, for example, may reduce herbicide efficacy and increase weed seed return to the soil seed bank.

Control weeds throughout the season.

Spraying pre-harvest can reduce the weed seed bank for escaped patches, and spraying in the fall can be highly effective for perennials and winter annuals.

Use integrated weed management (IWM). IWM includes seeding practices to improve crop competitiveness — such as higher seeding rates, shallow seeding depth, narrow row spacing and high quality seed. Placing fertilizer closer to the seed and using insect and disease protection when necessary will also improve crop competitiveness. Later seeding dates allow control of early weeds in the preseed window. Tillage and spot mowing to prevent seed set are mechanical alternatives.

“These techniques reduce the reliance on herbicides, which will actually improve results from herbicides and keep more herbicides working on the farm,” Brackenreed says.

For more on weed management, see the weeds section in the Canola Encyclopedia at www.canolacouncil.org/canolaencyclopedia. For other things to look for while scouting early in the season, go to www.canolawatch.org and search for the article, “The critical first 21 days.” While at the site, consider signing up to receive the free weekly Canola Watch agronomy email.

tive when used in combination: Control weeds early. Herbicides are more effective on small weeds. Pre-seed burnoff and early in-crop applications also limit weed competition and improve crop yields.

Rotate herbicide groups. Use a variety of herbicide groups (modes of action) through the whole crop rotation. If weed management depends on glyphosate in the pre-seed and post-harvest windows as well as in crop in Roundup Ready crops, the selection pressure for glyphosateresistant weeds is very high.

Use crop rotation to your advantage.

Crop rotation allows for a wider range of herbicide groups. “While cleavers tend to be a bigger concern in canola crops, growers have more options to effectively control cleavers in cereal crops,” Brackenreed says, giving just one example.

Growing crops with different seeding and harvest timing — such as winter cereals and perennial forage crops — also diversifies weed removal timing options and provides weed competition in fall and early spring.

Use tank mixes. Hitting weeds with two modes of action reduces the risk of selecting for resistance, or having herbicide resistant weeds escape and set seed.

Tanking mixing carfentrazone with preseed glyphosate applications will prevent the development or escape of glyphosateresistant kochia, for example.

Use the right herbicide at the right rate and apply at the right time. Follow labels for timing, ideal spraying conditions, con-

The most effective we can be is when we are assertive, not passive and not aggressive.

We might want to do something else because of our attitude or mood at the moment, but we should only do what needs to be done - nothing more, nothing less.

Those who do what needs to be done have a much more enjoyable, safe time with their horses and the horses are much happier.

This is true as well when we are playing with horses and they appreciate it if we can do what has to be done – nothing more, nothing less. One way I use to make it easier for myself and for other people to do what has to be done is by using phases. Phases come in different forms for different exercises. A description of phases is to use a form of pressure that starts at phase 1 (very soft and light - usually lighter and softer than one would think) and gradually increase the pressure at 2/3 second intervals to phase 2, then phase 3 and, if necessary, to phase 4 until you get the required result or a try from the horse.

There really are two forms of pressure that should be used with horses. One is steady pressure which means you are physically touching the horse with your hand, your leg, a rein or the horseman’s stick.

The other is rhythmic pressure that has movement to it and is more of a suggestion from phase 1 to 3.

You would not touch the horse until phase 4 using rhythmic pressure. Shaking hands would be similar to steady pressure, and waving to someone would be similar to rhythmic pressure.

Using phases is what horses do everyday with each other. If we follow their patterns as much as we humanly can, our using phases will make sense to them which will speed up the training process and get us better results. Using phases also helps people with a plan, gives them some guidelines to follow, and gives us a “what to do next” in our program or plan.

Guidelines of using phases gives us the necessary next step even if we don’t feel like it or are not comfortable with it. The consistency of phases supports the horse in its ability to understand and count on us to do what we need to do. This absolutely builds a horse’s confidence in us as their leader. Sometimes we need to be

Ten Principles to Live By

The Northern Horizon, May 22, 2015

Options for keeping your mare out of heat Submitted by Dr. Tegan Alce.

Some mares show very strong heats and may become difficult to handle during their heat cycle. Owners often want to find a way to keep their mare from showing heat or from displaying problematic behaviour during their heat, especially if the mare is used for performance.

Alternatively, recipient mares in an embryo transfer program are generally kept out of heat until they are ready to receive an embryo. Their heat cycle can be manipulated very predictably and the handlers do not need to worry about problematic estrus behaviours as often.

There are several different methods of keeping a mare out of heat with various success rates. It should be noted that none of these methods are 100% effective, but most of them will help to a certain degree.

Pharmaceutical manipulation of estrus suppression seems to be the most reliable, predictable, and sometimes reversible solutions to keep mares out of heat: 1) Altrenogest (an artificial progestogen): There have been recent studies showing a very good success with estrus suppression with one intramuscular injection of Altrenogest every 12 days. The benefits to this method are that we do not need to treat daily, there are high success rate, results are quite predictable, it is approved by the FDA, and if you want to breed, this medication can be overridden by other hormones. The most frequent adverse effect is a slight swelling in the injected area, but pain in this area is uncommon. Estrus suppression behavioural changes are typically noted 2-3 days after the first injection.

2) Regumate (This is oral version of Altrenogest) can be given by mouth once a day to keep a mare out of heat. This method is very effective and can completely suppress heat in most mares. The downfall to this method is that it needs to be given every day and it can become expensive. If there is a very short period of time that you wish to ensure your mare doesn’t come

into heat, this method may be a good option but must be started in advance of the time you don’t wish her to come into heat.

3) Hormonal implants can be given to your mare.

These implants are given under the skin on your mare’s neck and can slowly release hormones into her system which will suppress heat. This method works in approximately 70% of mares and usually lasts for 4-6 months.

It may not always keep a mare completely out of heat but it usually will decrease the strength of her heat and help with some of the undesirable behavior. We generally combine the implants with Depopovera (a human birth control injection) with reasonably good success.

The drawback to this combination is that a mare cannot typically be bred the season these are given. a.

Ovuplant: 2 or 3 implants are placed under your horse’s skin. These implants slow release deslorelin and can be effective in keeping your horse out of heat. It is effective in controlling estrus suppression in 40-70% of mares. This product is no longer sold in the U.S. 4) Oxytocin: can be given to a mare twice daily for a week at a certain stage of her reproductive cycle.

This blocks the action of hormones on her ovary which keeps her out of heat for a prolonged period of time (over 30 days). This is a relatively new method of keeping mares out of heat and its success rate is still undetermined. This may be a good alternative in the future as oxytocin is inexpensive, safe, and is also reversible if you would like to breed in the same season. There are variable success rates in the small studies that have been performed.

There are other non-hormonal therapies which are commonly used to supress estrus: 1) Marble: A sterilized marble can be placed in your mare’s uterus towards the end of a heat cycle. This marble will move around in the uterus and make the

mare’s body think she is pregnant. Her hormones will then keep her from coming into heat. This method is safe and the marble can be removed at any point however it only works in approximately 50% of the mares it is used in. The downside to this method is that we need to implant the marble at a specific stage of estrus which may require ultrasounds, and the mare may reject her marble shortly after implanting it.

2) Ovariectomy: (spaying) a mare is a very effective means of keeping a mare out of heat. It involves surgical removal of both ovaries. It is effective but it is also permanent and is not an option if there is any desire to breed the mare in the future. This may be the only option for treatment if your mare is found to have abnormalities on her ovaries causing abnormal behaviour, such as tumours.

3) Acupuncture: A surgical staple can be placed in a specific acupuncture site to suppress estrus in mares.

This doesn’t fully suppress estrus but will make the signs less significant.

If you notice that your mare seems to suddenly be more expressive with her heat cycles, is acting like a stallion, or is having reproductive difficulties, a reproductive exam may be recommended. Not all “mare-ish” behaviour is simply due to hormones. Always remember to check for other causes of discomfort or disease, and please bring your mares in for regular check-ups to ensure that they are healthy.

If you would like more information on any of the above options, please discuss these with your veterinarian. www.dcvet.ca

Review of CWRS and CPSR wheat classes to begin May 8, 2015 – Winnipeg, Manitoba – Canadian Grain Commission Stakeholders expressed strong support in their responses to the Canadian Grain Commission proposal to protect the quality, consistency and end use performance of the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) and Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat classes.

As a result, a review of the varieties assigned to the CWRS and CPSR wheat classes will be initiated immediately. Letters will be sent to Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) and Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) variety owners requesting that they indicate, before the end of May 2015, their intention to complete additional trials or to transition their variety to a different class.

Further decisions regarding the modernized wheat class system will be announced once the Canadian Grain Commission has reviewed further information and input regarding market demand, and has determined an appropriate class and transition period for identified varieties that do not meet the criteria for CWRS or CPSR wheat.

An interim wheat class will be put in place for the Faller and Prosper wheat varieties, which recently received interim registration from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), and could include the ND Elgin wheat variety, which was supported for interim registration by the Prairie Grain Development Committee (PGDC), if it becomes registered by CFIA .

This will allow the Canadian Grain Commission to assess the viability of a new wheat class before making a decision on the permanence of the class.

Quick facts The consultation period for the Canadian Grain Commission’s proposal to modernize Canada’s wheat class system ended April 20, 2015.

The objective of the proposal for modernizing Canada’s wheat class system was to: • Review the current Canadian wheat classes.

• Enhance the consistency of Canadian wheat classes to support marketability.

• Add a new wheat class to include new varieties wanted by producers and customers of Canadian grain.

The Canadian Grain Commission received 45 formal written submissions from a range of stakeholders representing more than 150 commodity and producer organizations, industry organizations, government departments, domestic and international wheat customers, grain handlers and marketers, plant breeders, and seed companies and growers.

The proposal for modernizing Canada’s wheat class system was accessed over 2000 times on the Canadian Grain Commission’s web site during the consultation period.

Quotes “Stakeholders advised caution in introducing a new wheat class. With that in mind, any decision made on a new wheat class will be based on careful study of potential market demand, farm gate value, and grade structure.”

Don’t be fooled by “UNREAL------CANADIAN BEEF..??”

May 5, 2015 – Alberta Beef Producers After three years, we once again are seeing circulation of an email message under the title above that accuses McDonald’s of using imported beef from South America. The message claims to have originated with the Alberta Cattle Feeders’ Association (ACFA) and is supposed to have beetn signed by two employees of the former XL beef plant in Brooks.

This email message is a complete hoax. The original message began circulating in 2002 and was supposed to have originated with the Texas Cattle Feeders Association. It came to Canada in 2009 with the reference

to ACFA. Of course, neither the Texas Cattle Feeders Association nor ACFA have had any association with the email message.

McDonald’s has not announced that they will start importing much of their beef from South America.

While they have imported small quantities of beef from New Zealand, Australia and the United States in the past, McDonald’s currently uses only Canadian beef in their Canadian hamburgers. All of the McDonald’s hamburger patties for Canada are made at a processing plant in Spruce Grove, Alberta, with the vast majority of the beef coming from the Cargill plant

in High River and the JBS plant in Brooks.

McDonald’s is a very strong supporter of the Canadian beef industry and demonstrated this commitment by selecting Canada as the location for their Verified Sustainable Beef pilot project. There are other quick-service food chains that use significant amounts of imported beef in their hamburgers, but McDonald’s has made a commitment to using Canadian beef in their Canadian hamburgers. They remain one of the largest purchasers of Canadian beef and we appreciate their proud support of our industry.

to increase with economic recovery in North America, Canfax says. Income growth in these mature markets is likely to have a larger impact on demand for quality than quantity, supporting demand for high-grade products.

Also, consumer demand for beef in both countries isn’t highly responsive to changes in beef prices or to changes in competing meat prices. Nevertheless, Canfax predicts a large drop in poultry and pork prices relative to beef would have a negative impact on beef demand over the short term.

“Consumer willingness to pay is the real question over the next couple of years and could create volatility in the market,” says Grant.

The full document is available at the Canadian Cattlemen website.

By Richard Kamchen Beef retail prices could remain strong over the next two to three years, says a recent report from Canfax.

The division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association notes record high beef prices are supported by tight world supplies. And Canadian and U.S. supplies will tighten even further as the industry retains heifers for breeding.

Ultimately, though, it’s domestic and foreign demand that will determine the level of expansion as well as the future price of beef.

International and domestic demand is now equally important as Canada exports 46 per cent of its beef production. And it’s the growing middle class in Asia, especially China, that’s driving that global beef demand.

“The overall international trend is strong,” says the report’s author, Brenna Grant. Canfax expects developing countries to represent the strongest increase in beef demand in the next decade.

Domestically, multiple demographic factors are at play.

Canfax notes the percentage of women in the labour force is rising – representing 47.3 per cent in 2014 – and that’s not a positive for beef. With declining time available for home food preparation, demand for convenient products to prepare increases. And that’s

been to the advantage of the poultry sector.

Canada’s growing ethnic diversity has also favoured competing meats over beef, as many groups “have a higher dietary preference to poultry and pork.”

Our aging population isn’t a bullish factor either.

Seniors are the fastest-growing age group in Canada, a trend expected to accelerate in the next decade.

Health-conscious seniors tend to buy and eat smaller portions, which could dampen red meat demand.

The millennial generation provides mixed signals.

While an American study showed beef consumption of consumers between 18 and 34 is higher than those over 35, millennial parents see chicken as easier to prepare and more kid-friendly, while also perceiving other meats as healthier than red meat.

Rising incomes in Canada and the U.S. should be supportive, and disposable income levels are expected

Mycotoxin alert for growing risk on canadian farms FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 15, 2015

by Owen Roberts Canadian livestock farmers, particularly those raising dairy calves, are being warned to keep an eye on rising mycotoxin levels in feed.

Samples collected at 40 farms from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island by animal health company Alltech from September 2014 through to the end of last month show trend lines growing over time.

“The risk has increased from low risk at harvest time to a risk that is trending higher as we progress to the late spring and summer months,” says Dr. Max Hawkins, a nutritionist with Alltech’s mycotoxin management team.

Mycotoxins are produced from soil born molds aspergillis, fusarium and penicillium. When stressed by moisture and temperature, these molds produce toxins, called mycotoxins, in the plant and grain. They’re brought to the storage facility with the harvested crop.

There, under the right temperature, moisture and oxygen levels, these mold spores can produce additional mycotoxins.

During the sample period, corn silages averaged

4.24 mycotoxins per sample. All 17 samples contained mycotoxins, and all calves were at moderate to high risk of illness from eating this silage. The moderateto-high risk was 83 per cent for dairy cows, and almost 65 per cent for beef cattle.

The 29 total mixed ration samples produced similar results, with 4.31 mycotoxins per sample. Again, all calves fed these rations were at moderate to high risk of illness, as were 65 per cent of dairy cows and nearly 45 per cent of beef cattle.

Hawkins says the inclusion rate of corn silage determined the mycotoxin contribution to the TMR. Many factors affect the storage quality of silages, he says, including crop condition at harvest, percentage of dry matter, packing density, storage environment, moisture level, temperature and exposure to oxygen. So, producers need to be cautious.

“Managers and owners need to monitor silages for mycotoxin levels as well as cattle health and performance traits as these levels of mycotoxins and risks can change quickly,” Hawkins says.

“Dairy and beef producers should keep a watchful eye over the remaining 2014 crop in their bins as both corn silage and total mixed rations are now trending at high risk for mycotoxin contamination.”

ABP Environmental Stewardship Award call for nominations May 8, 2015 – Alberta Beef Producers - The Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is seeking nominations for the 2016 Environmental Stewardship Award (ESA).

The ESA recognizes cattle producers whose natural resource stewardship practices contribute to the environment and enhance productivity and profitability. We are asking producers to take this opportunity to share the unique environmental practices employed on their operation and to present the positive story about cattle producers’ contribution to the environment.

Nomination forms are available on the ABP website at http://www.albertabeef.org/uploads/ CallForNominationspdf-354.pdf, from the ABP office or from your local delegate. All cattle producers are encouraged to either enter or nominate another producer who is taking strides towards sound environmental production practices.

A team of judges made up of ABP delegates, the 2015 ESA winner and an industry associate will review the submissions and tour the nominated ranching operations. Each applicant will be scored on predetermined criteria unique to the practices they implement in their business.

The winner will receive a commemorative gate sign, a video highlighting their ranching operation and an all expenses paid trip from anywhere in Alberta to the 2015 ABP Annual General Meeting in Calgary, where the award will be presented at a formal banquet. The competition is open to all cattle producers. Deadline for nominations is July 1, 2015 and the winner will be announced December 2015.

Over 200 people came out to the No Fools Bull Sale and 40th Wedding Anniversary party at Lloyd and Donna Ross’s on Saturday, April 25th. The sale began, as it always has, with a fine lunch; this year’s lunch included prime rib and homemade bread with all the trimmings. Dessert was apple, lemon meringue, and pumpkin pies, all homemade on the farm.

Buyers had a great selection of Lloyd’s strong pen of forty Red Angus bulls to choose from, with winning bids ranging from $3,000 to $7,000. Peter Siemens from Montney, BC purchased the high selling bull of the sale.

The heifers, some selling as purebreds, sold strongly from $2150-3150 with an average of $2400. The high selling heifers went to Werner Sellin of Spirit River.

“Our guarantee, finance package and delivery attract buyers plus they know we have quality with affordable prices. We cut out the middle man and pass the savings on to our customers. If we sold in town, we could add $1,000 per animal for expenses. We would still need to haul the animals to town and often breeders end up taking them home for awhile anyway.” said Donna and added ”An auctioneer would probably get us that money, but we wouldn’t get any of it and our customers would pay it.”

Bidders and buyers came from all over the Peace Country with one even arriving in a helicopter. Lloyd delivers all the bulls to you after the sale, so you can arrive in your Cadillac if you wish.

Cake and bubbly was served after the sale.

Joe Zacharias and band entertained. Old and new friends mingled and enjoyed the show.

COOL comes to a head doing. Vilsack has given instructions to his administration to bring forward a piece of legislation that will either look at a new North American Free Trade Agreement label (which would encompass Canadian meat and livestock) or something that would seek to repeal the COOL program altogether.

The USDA released two COOL reports last week.

One of the reports, Economic Analysis of Country of Origin Labeling, found the trade distorting regulations cost the beef and pork industry billions of dollars in implementation expenses and loss of sales but offer no economic benefit.

“Based on a review of academic research, we found no evidence that consumer demand for beef or pork has increased because of [mandatory COOL],” the USDA-commissioned report by the Kansas State University and University of Missouri states. “Thus our economic analysis finds no measurable benefits to consumers as a result of [COOL].”

Meanwhile, cattle producers from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario met with members of Parliament and government staff to ensure they’re aware of the opportunities available to move Canada’s beef industry forward.

Next week’s WTO ruling is expected to again favour Canada and Mexico. It will then be up to the U.S. to show compliance with the ruling or be subject to trade retaliation. The threat of tariffs on American exports to Canada is an important aspect of getting legislation introduced and passed in Congress and the Senate.

Mike Jubinville of Pro Farmer Canada offers information on commodity markets and marketing strategies. Call 204-654-4290 or visit www.pfcanada.com to find out more about his services.

FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 15, 2015

Mike Jubinville Finally, it seems the multi-year trade irritant that is the United States mandatory country of origin labelling program could be resolved next week.

Following many months of bantering between government and industry officials on both sides of the border, the World Trade Organization is scheduled to release its decision May 18. The U.S. is appealing the ruling made by the WTO last fall which was in favour of Canada. Monday’s decision is the final step for the United States’ objections to the WTO’s prior rulings that their mandatory labelling discriminates against imported livestock from Canada and Mexico in violation of American trade obligations.

COOL, which requires retailers to label beef and pork according to where it was born, raised and slaughtered, prompted many U.S. processors to stop using imported product rather than keep it segregated.

“Next week’s WTO ruling is expected to again favour Canada and Mexico. It will then be up to the U.S. to show compliance with the ruling or be subject to trade retaliation.”

If the WTO issues another ruling next week in favour of Canada and Mexico (the WTO has now ruled in favour of the countries on three previous appeals) and the United States continues its current trade sanctions on beef imports, the door opens for retaliatory tariffs by Canada and Mexico on a range of imported products from the U.S., from steel to California wine.

U.S. legislators, including Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, finally seem to be coming around on the issue, recognizing the economic hurt this is actually

Export-ready Alberta meat companies interested in the Japanese market were invited to exhibit at the show in a shared Alberta meat industry booth profiling their products and meeting with Japanese meat buyers.

The fair targets high-end retail and food service industry contacts, with approximately 65,000 Japanese food industry representatives attending throughout the three-day event.

The Egg Farmers of Alberta (EFA) is making it easier to get into farming. The New Entrant Program (NEP) is now open, giving individuals the chance to become Alberta’s newest egg farmer.

Applications will be accepted from May 1 to June 25, 2015.

EFA’s NEP provides an excellent opportunity for anyone with a passion for egg farming and a desire to join Alberta’s egg industry.

“Bringing new egg farmers into the industry is crucial to helping the Alberta egg industry grow and prosper,” said Susan Gal, general manager of the EFA. The New Entrant Program was established in order to assist individuals and families who want to own and operate an egg farm in Alberta, by alleviating some of the producer’s start -up costs. NEP quota will be issued at no cost to the successful applicant(s).

To be eligible for EFA’s NEP, the following criteria must be met: be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada;

be a permanent resident of Alberta; not be a current or past quota holder To apply, interested parties must complete and submit a New Entrant Plan application form to the EFA Board of Directors along with a comprehensive business plan and a $1,050 fee. Applicants can submit their application form, business plan and fee via mail or in person at the EFA office. Applications will be accepted from May 1, 2015 until 4 p.m. June 25, 2015.

NEF information packages are available online here. Christina Robinson, EFA’s producer services manager will be providing an overview of the NEP during a Town Hall Update at 10 a.m.

Thursday, May 7, 2015. To participate call 1-888-886-7786 and tell the operator you wish to be placed in the Egg Farmers of Alberta call. The call will be recorded and archived for five days.

An unseen threat -- old, unused wells AGRI-NEWS MAY 11, 2015

Some rural Albertans may be living with a health hazard on their property and they don’t even know it.

Surface contamination poses one of the biggest threats to the purity of groundwater supplies and old unused wells that are not properly decommissioned can serve as a conduit for bacteria and chemicals to seep into an aquifer. Once there, it is often very difficult and very costly to restore an aquifer and make well water safe for drinking.

Perhaps the best known incident of this type of water contamination occurred in 2000 in Walkerton, Ontario, when surface runoff made its way into an adjacent well that had been known for years to be vulnerable to contamination. About half the population of the small rural community became ill and several people died when the groundwater became contaminated with deadly E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria. The entire incident might have been prevented if steps had been taken to avoid contamination in the first place.

“Having an old unused well on your property is a little like having an open wound on your arm,” says Chris Gerritsen president of the Alberta Water Well

Drilling Association and an advocate for the Working Well Program. “Old open wells are a place where contaminants can gather and get into the aquifer. Sometimes an old well can contaminate a new one, so it’s the first question I ask when someone is having trouble with the water quality of a well.”

There are regulations in place that require landowners to plug old unused wells, but there are still many properties around Alberta with abandoned wells on them that pose a physical safety threat and provide an avenue for groundwater contamination. “It costs money to properly plug a well and people don’t always understand why it’s necessary to do it,” says Jennifer Macpherson with Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development and the Working Well Program. “It’s in the regulations and it’s in the landowner’s interest to plug an old well.

Properly plugging an old unused well prevents it from contaminating groundwater and potentially affecting any new wells. The time to plug an old well is when you are drilling a new well.”

Properly plugging an old well is best done by a licensed driller or at least supervised or advised by an industry expert. Putting a cap over the top of an old well may eliminate the physical risk it poses, but it doesn’t prevent entry

of contaminants, and an unused well creates the perfect breeding ground for bacteria to grow and infect the aquifer below. Private well owners are responsible to make sure the groundwater is protected from contamination and remains clean and pure for their own use and for generations to come.

Online resources and free community-based workshops offered by the Working Well program provide well

owners with the information and tools they need to properly care for their wells. For more information, visit the Working Well website.

2015 Summer Farm Employment Program AGRI-NEWS MAY 11, 2015

If full time farmers are thinking about hiring a student for summer employment, now is the time to apply.

“Once again, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) will be offering the Summer Farm Employment Program,” says Mary Anne Nelson, program coordinator ARD, Stettler.

“This program gives Alberta’s youth the opportunity to gain farm work experience and provides wage support to farmers for the months of July and August.”

Employers must own or rent a farming operation in Alberta with gross production of $25,000 per year and work must be directly related to the farming operation. This does not include domestic work or child care. Employers must recruit their own employee, provide daily supervision and ensure safe working conditions for their employee.

Monthly records of time worked must be completed by the employer. Employees are paid by the farmer and by the government for each respective part of their salary, which must meet provincial minimum hourly rates.

“Farm safety is an emphasis in this program and all summer farm employers and employees are required to review a safety DVD together,” says Nelson. “Employees must complete and pass a safety quiz based on the DVD information in order to be accepted into the program.”

Applications are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis and will be accepted at the Summer Farm Employment Program office in Stettler until all program funds are committed or

May 31, 2015, whatever comes first.

Applications received after May 31 will not be processed unless funding is available.

Applications can be printed from ARD’s website or obtained by calling the Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

New aluminum boom for Versatile Self-Propelled Sprayers Versatile adds optional factory-installed 120’ aluminum boom Winnipeg, MB – April 30, 2015 – Versatile is excited to announce the addition of a 120’ aluminum boom to the line of self-propelled sprayers. The Versatile self-propelled sprayer line boasts an impressive boom system with an extreme-duty design. First introduced in 2014, the SX240 and SX280 models will now have a new boom option for maximum field coverage.

LIGHT WEIGHT AND BETTER BALANCED

The boom was built with the most efficient strength-to-weight lattice-style construction. Creating a lighter boom was one of the main goals. A weight reduction of roughly 500 lbs. gives the boom more reliability and ease of control by causing less momentum and movements at any speed while driving through varied terrain.

TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS The left hand boom rest rotates 180 degrees; inset for shipping width considerations, and then easily rotated out for field mode. These changes will

Introducing our Certified Pre-Owned Certification Every Certified Pre-Owned Tractor, Combine and now Self-Propelled Sprayer is covered by a comprehensive PowerGard plan, giving you the coverage benefits of new with the extra value of pre-owned.

Right now, no one else offers a low-hour machine that’s been field tested, inspected and certified on over 170 points for tractors and 200 points on combines and sprayers.

Add to that a free one-year JDLink™ Connect subscription, and a John Deere Certified Pre-Owned machine deserves even more of your attention. r001895557

reduce complexity and shipping challenges for dealers and customers. The 60/120 combo boom is a single fold of primary and secondary sections.

Catwalk railings will now be removed and conveniently stored for transport.

STRONGER BY DESIGN Superior structural integrity was the idea behind creating the 120’ aluminum boom. The use of a single piece arched top extrusion provides a far superior design to the ‘single’ welded tubes typically found on competitors’ products. This uses 1/3 fewer welds and provides a greater cross sectional area for improved strength, durability and boom component placement.

PRECISION WELDED FOR STRENGTH AND LONGEVITY Precision engineered welds have been optimally placed to reduce the chance of any cracks that may lead to unnecessary maintenance and/or service. Mild steel has been integrated into all high

stress areas and front boom rests, as well as precisely cut aluminum extrusions to optimize weld surface areas within the structure and additional weld joints that have been positioned on the flats of the extrusions in an optimal position.

All tubular sections have now been drilled at the lowest points, this will allow an easy escape route for any potential accumulation of water; virtually eliminating the chance of future cracks due to internal freezing.

PRO-ACTION FLEX TECHNOLOGY The field-proven design of the ProAction Flex technology is integrated with the reliability and strength of the new 120’ aluminum boom. This technology absorbs energy and enhances boom stability. Threeway breakaways (forward, back and up) were created to handle all potential contact to extend the reliability of the boom. These changes mean a better return on investment over time.

HR on the farm and ranch May 15, 2015 – Alberta Beef Producers, Grass Routes Provided by Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Another presentation from the recent Cow-Calfenomics risk management series is now available for viewing on the Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development webpage. In it, Abby Verstraete, farm business analyst at ARD discusses human resources on the farm and ranch and the considerations for better staff management.

“Better staff management, whether you’re dealing with employees or family members, leads to improving your bottom line, is safer for you and your employees and decreases stress for all,” she said.

She also shares little things that you can do that will result in better staff management for family or employees including clearly defining roles and ex-

pectations for employees and employees of the management team, clearly outlining lines of authority, and clearly outlining compensation packages.

“It’s a good idea to have these in writing as it makes it easier for all. It reduces stress and anxiety when all parties have a clear understanding. A good working knowledge of what is expected will lead to an improved bottom line, and workplace harmony,” Verstraete said.

To view the Human Resources on the Farm and Ranch presentation, go to the Cow-Calfenomic’s homepage and look under the Presentations tab. Open the YouTube playlist and scroll to the presentation.

Small Tractor Sales Up Realag Machinery Insider May 12, 2015 Overall farm tractor sales for the month of April in both Canada and the U.S. were up slightly over last year, but combine and 4-wheel-drive tractor purchases remain well off the 2014 sales pace.

According to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers’ monthly report, total Canadian farm tractor sales in April 2015 were 3.5 percent higher than in April 2014. U.S. tractor sales were up 8.3 percent, as strong sales growth in small (<40 horsepower) trac-

tors more than offset a 54 percent drop in 4WD sales.

A sign that farmers continue to hold off on major equipment purchases, year-to-date 4WD unit sales are down 47 percent in the U.S. and 22 percent in Canada. Combine sales in the U.S. are 42 percent behind last year, while Canadian combine sales are down 37 percent.

YTD sales in the highest volume category — the <40HP group — are up 4.5 percent in Canada and 8.1 percent in the U.S.

On the open road

r001919588

This weekend the Inaugural Wild West Motorcycle & Tattoo Fest is on at the Entrec Centre out at Evergreen Park.

Hosted by Peter Robertson from Peace River, the Grande Prairie show is one of two shows hosted by Robertson. The Grimshaw show is on next weekend at the Mile Zero Multiplex!

The show here in Grande Prairie is affordable ($10 for adults to get in), has a reasonable number of vendors for a first effort, its well laid out and offers up some wicked music.

There’s a beer gardens, tattooists plying their crafts, leather shops, clothing, some nice old automobiles and a good showing of motorcycles...yes, definitely a great way to spend a few hours.

You’ll get the chance to meet Dirk Vermin of Bad Ink and Athena Lee who is an American musician, drummer and actor.

Her older brother is none other that Mötley Crüe’s drummer Tommy Lee and that makes her the ex-sister-in-law of actresses Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson.

She and her daughter Tobi also part of the TV series Ex Wives of Rock.

I had the pleasure of judging the tattoo contest with Athena and Tobi, Dirk was on Emcee duties.

What a hoot!

There was some nice ink to gander at and I think the tattoos that were chosen to win their classes truly deserved to win, although I will say, there truly wasn’t what you’d call a bad tattoo in the bunch!

I spent some time looking over the booths, catching up with old friends that I had not seen in what seems like forever....yes, all in all a great way to spend a few hours on a rainy, drizzly great day.

If you haven’t already checked it out, stop in tomorrow!

The Wild West Motorcycle & Tattoo Fest is on from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Evergreen Park’s Entrec Centre!

Visit my Facebook Page to see the photos of all the tattoos, vendor booths etc.

Have a great Saturday evening folks!

ds a closer look Second, the study currently in the media is a modeling study based upon the results in the previous laboratory study. Models are only as good as the inputs provided, and the researchers themselves admit, “Environmental samples of 17α-TBOH and hydroxy17α-TBOH for model validation are not currently available.” They also state, “Furthermore sampling is complicated by the continuous interaction of multiple species between sample collection and processes; transport and storage in the dark would be subject to reversion, while sample prep in the light (as on a laboratory bench) would be subject to photolysis.”

What this study shows is a potential

scenario, with little to no evidence that TBA reversion is occurring under actual production system conditions.

Other papers examining the fate of hormones in the environment have found very few synthetic hormone residues, much less than the natural testosterones and estrogens produced by both implanted and non-implanted cattle. In fact, a study published in Environmental Science and Technology in 2012 found no differences in runoff and feedlot surface soils and manure hormone concentrations from implanted and non-implanted cattle.

Monitoring and management of lat An Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) specialist said that with careful monitoring, greenhouse and garden centre producers can play an important role in catching early infections of Late blight.

“Careful monitoring of incoming, growing and outgoing plant material is one of the best strategies for managing Late blight within a greenhouse,”

14TH ANNUAL

said Rob Spencer, commercial horticulture specialist at ARD. Spencer said that in the spring, growers should watch for older leaves that have dark, water-soaked lesions, sometimes with yellow edges, that move in from leaf tips/margins, becoming brown and brittle within a couple days. Late blight lesions are not contained by the leaf veins.

“In high moisture/humidity situations, a small amount of sporulation (observed as white, fluffy growth on the edges of lesions) may be visible on the underside of affected leaves. Late blight develops most quickly in wet/humid condi-

te blight in greenhouses tions and can spread very rapidly through tomato plantings or very young petunia seedlings. Plants may be rapidly defoliated and die,” he said.

As the season develops producers should watch plants for both foliar and fruit symptoms. Infected fruit may have irregular, sunken lesions. Tomato fruit rot can penetrate into skin of the fruits, causing rot and discolouration of the internal tissues. The rot often has a reddish-brown colour.

Spencer recommends disposing of diseased material by burying, burning or freezing.

“Dying plant material can still transfer spores to living plants, continuing the disease cycle. The Late blight pathogen thrives in warm, wet and/or high humidity conditions; therefore, careful ventilation can help to keep humidity at reasonable levels and can prevent condensation and prolonged periods of leaf wetness. Overhead watering will increase disease spread which should be addressed if there is a risk that disease is present,” he said.

Protective applications of registered fungicides

are appropriate in high risk situations though applications are not curative.

“Late blight is a community disease. It will require effort on the part of all industries to return Alberta to a Late blight-free status. If you want to know more about Late blight or have questions or concerns, please call 310-FARM (3276) for assistance,” Spencer said.

For more information on Late blight identification and management, see the Frequently Asked Questions document – Late blight in Potatoes and Tomatoes.

50 The Northern Horizon, May 22, 2015

Addressing the compromised cattle issue May 15, 2015 – Alberta Beef Producers, Grass Routes Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) hosted an industry round table discussion this week dealing with the issue of compromised or unfit cattle coming to markets. The round table was organized

by Alberta Farm Animal Care (AFAC) and had broad participation from across the industry supply chain. In addition to the participation of organizations such as ABP, the Alberta Cattle Feeders’ Association and the Western Stock Growers’ Association, the round table had representatives from the processors, Alberta government, federal government, auction markets, transporters, the veterinary profession, and the SPCA. Since most producers recognize that transporting compromised or unfit cattle is not an acceptable practice, there is a very small percentage of cattle arriving at markets in this condition. However,

there are still instances each year of compromised cattle being transported to market and the purpose of the round table was to identify strategies for further reducing this problem. ABP is supporting a research project that will provide further information on the nature and extent of incidences of compromised cattle arriving at markets. The round table participants agreed that a successful strategy for addressing this issue will involve a number of complementary actions related to communication, education, identification of options for producers dealing with compromised cattle, and regulations. This is an issue that can have serious consequences for the public perception of our industry and all of the people at the round table recognized the importance of taking strong action to address it.

52 The Northern Horizon, May 22, 2015

Cooking and Taken from the website of Alberta Pulse – May 19, 2015 Pulses come in both canned and dried forms and can be found in most grocery stores. Canned pulses are pre-cooked and ready to eat, though they should be rinsed to remove any extra sodium.

Dried pulses require a bit more attention when it comes to storing, soaking, and cooking them, but the extra effort can pay off.

Keep these things in mind when buying and storing dried pulses: • Choose dried pulses that are uniform in colour, size, and shape.

• Store dried pulses in containers in a cool, dark place.

• Use dried pulses within one year of purchase to ensure the highest quality possible.

How to Soak Dried Pulses Soaking pulses is an easy extra step

when you’re cooking with dried pulses.

When soaking pulses, keep these things in mind: • Soak dried beans, whole dried peas, and dried chickpeas prior to cooking.

Split peas and lentils don’t need to be soaked, but should be rinsed.

• Pick through dried pulses before soaking or cooking to remove any shriveled or broken seeds and any debris, including pebbles.

• Discard the soaking water and rinse the pulses prior to cooking.

• Cook pulses with fresh water, as the soaking water may not be clean.

• Follow these soaking instructions, courtesy of Pulse Canada, for dried beans, whole dried peas, and dried chickpeas.

Method/Instructions • Long Cold Soak or Overnight - Let stand 12 hours or overnight in refrigera-

tor.

• Quick Soak - Bring pulses and water to boil in a saucepan and boil gently for two minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for one hour.

• Microwave Soak - Combine pulses and water in a suitable microwave casserole dish, cover, and microwave on high for 10 to 15 minutes. Let stand for one hour.

For each method, add 3 cups (750 mL) of water for every 1 cup (250 mL) of pulses.

How to Cook Pulses Dried pulses will need to be cooked before you eat them, either on the stove, in a slowcooker, or in a pressure cooker.

One cup (250 mL) of dry pulses will yield around two to three times more cooked pulses.

When cooking pulses, keep these things in mind:

• Use a large saucepan, as pulses will double or triple in volume after cooking.

• Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the pulses are tender but not mushy. To check for doneness, taste the pulses; they should be tender, with no “raw” taste.

• Add acidic ingredients, including vinegar and tomatoes, only after the pulses are already tender, as these can slow the cooking process.

Follow these cooking instructions, courtesy of Pulse Canada, for dried pulses: Pulse/Soaking Required/Cooking Time • Beans – yes - 45 to 60 minutes • Whole Peas – yes - 1 to 1 1/2 hours • Split Peas – no - 40 to 45 minutes • Green Lentils – no - 30 to 45 minutes

storing pulses • Split Red Lentils – no - 10 to 15 minutes • Chickpeas – yes - 1 to 1 1/2 hours Cooking times may vary, so keep an eye on the pulses as they cook.

Cooked pulses will store in the fridge for up to three days or in the freezer for several months. To freeze cooked pulses, let the pulses cool and store in plastic bags or containers in serving sizes that will make them easy to add to your favorite meals.

How to Purée Pulses

Puréed pulses can be used in a variety of recipes, including baked goods and smoothies. To purée pulses, place cooked or rinsed and drained canned pulses into a food processor, add ¼ cup hot water for every 1 cup of cooked pulses, and purée until the mixture is smooth, adding more water in small amounts to reach desired consistency, similar to baby food, about 5 minutes.

Scrape the bowl as needed. Unused purée can be frozen and kept for several months in the freezer.

A seventeen-year-old Scottish lad is believed to have been the first white man to build in the Grande Prairie area. Tom Kerr built a Hudson Bay Post at Cutbank Lake in 1885. Two years later he was superintendent of the road-building project from Grouard to Peace River Landing. He also was the father of the first white children in the north country.
