Town Council

Elaina John Reporter

Vermilion Town Council held a brief, regular meeting on November 17.

Economic Development, Councillor Robert Pulyk presented a movement to provide new Vermilion Business, Picture This & That with a maximum amount of $2,550 under the 2020 Commercial Retail Development Incentive Program.

This amount will be going towards renovations and the payment will occur in the 2020 budget year. The movement was carried as Picture This & That meets all the criteria for the incentive program.

“This will be a great addition to our community,” commented Mayor Caroline McAuley.

Picture This & That had their Grand Opening in Lakeland Mall on November 20.

During delegations, Vermilion Resi-

dent Shawn Cadrain held a presentation on behalf of Vermilion Minor Hockey about ice usage in Vermilion. In this presentation, Cadrain compared Ice scheduling in Vermilion to other surrounding communities, and suggested the schedule be adjusted to focus more on weekday usage rather than weekend usage.

“No other places expect hockey teams to practice on the weekends,” Cadrain said.

Cadrain disc us sed a num ber of ways minor hockey has given back to the community including shovelling snow, creating volunteer positions, and purchasing gifts for residents of the lodge, and more. Due to the limits COVID-19 has put on attendance to games, the Minor Hockey Association will also be giving perennial jersey sponsors free sponsorships.

Cadrain also addressed the increase

Cadrain presented a mock-schedule for ice usage to suggest to the town, and will be in further discussion with Community Services Director Kevin Lucas on the matter.

Councillor Greg Barr provided an update on behalf of the Vermilion River Water shed Allian c e ( VRWA). Barr mentioned that the VRWA is working on providing education in the spring on watersheds involving local schools after evaluating education already available.

According to Barr, this year, the Vermilion River has the 4th highest water table since 1970, with 150-200 percent average rainfall.

The Morecambe structure, which ran from April to September, was put into place to help mitigate flooding. However, Barr reports that flooding only dropped 1.6 millimetres.

Water monitoring is conducted by the college, which is working with Water Conservation and Management Applied Degree students.

A Message From Dr. Alice Wainwright-Stewart

Dr. Alice Wainwright-Stewart Submitted

(Vermilion, Alta., Lloydminster, Alta./ Sask.) The 2020-21 academic year is well underway, and Lakeland College is doing business differently. We welcomed students to our campuses – in-person and online – to start or resume their studies and ultimately, work towards achieving their goals.

We’re committed to providing our students the highest quality educational experience possible with a blend of in person, hands-on learning opportunities and online lectures. We invested in many platforms and delivery resources to support our students and faculty with online learning. While this delivery method has been new for many of our programs, it’s essential as we work to minimize the risk of exposure and transmission of the COVID-19 virus on our campuses.

With guidance from our provincial health authorities and the Ministry of Advanced Education, specific measures and protocols are in place to protect our campus community, including wearing a 3-ply face covering, maintaining physical distancing, and practicing enhanced hand hygiene.

Each day before arriving on campus, our students and staff must complete a health assessment. Despite our best efforts though, COVID-19 continues to be prevalent. Last month, two people in our Lloydminster campus community tested positive. While both have since recovered, this reinforces the importance of following the guidelines to keep Lakeland safe.

One of the hallmarks of a Lakeland education is how we bring real-world opportunities to our students and help them develop industry-relevant skills. We continue to do that this academic year with physical distancing protocols in effect, as well as personal protective equipment (PPE) as required. We’ve adjusted how we deliver these essential work integrated experiences for our students. Hands-on

learning has always been the cornerstone of our students’ Lakeland journey, and this year is no different.

Thanks to our faculty, 91.5 per cent of students participate in in-person activities. At any given point, 59 per cent of our students are on campus.

In September, our blended firefighter training students completed their practical training at the Emergency Training Centre and our final firefighting platoon of 2020 finished their training in October. We’re very proud of the work they’ve done and how our faculty and staff supported them.

Our environmental sciences students went beyond the classroom to forests, fields, rivers and more during Field Week.

Agricultural sciences students are busy managing our Student-Managed Farm – Powered by New Holland and completed harvest early last month. University transfer students were active on field trips for their labs and energy students have been building their skills in the Cenovus Lab and the Husky Energy Power Engineering Lab. We welcomed nine trades apprenticeship intakes to campus as well. As the semester progresses, all of our students will continue to gain real-world experiences and prepare to graduate job ready.

Our Lakeland Rustlers will explore new competitive opportunities in 2021, including exhibition games. While we made the difficult decision to forgo competition in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference winter season, we’re committed to providing our student-athletes with the highest quality experience in the safest manner possible.

We continue to work with other institutions, including Northern Lakes College, on providing community access to quality programs. With Northern Lakes, we continue to collaborate on academic upgrading and practical nurse programs – all of which supports essential needs in our communities and rural sustainability.

Looking ahead to Winter 2021, we’ll

continue our blended and online program delivery to ensure a healthy and safe environment for our campus community. We invite anyone interested in learning more about what Lakeland has to offer to join us online during our upcoming Live with Lakeland virtual sessions. Held on Nov. 17, 19, 24, 26 and 28, these sessions provide an overview of our programs, beyond the classroom learning opportunities, student support services and more. You’ll also find out about our intakes for business and university transfer programs in January, upcoming trades apprenticeship intakes, firefighter training in the spring and how to start one of our 50-plus programs next fall.

Learn more at lakelandcollege.ca/events.

This fall, I surveyed our students to better understand their blended and online experience this semester. Throughout the course of this year, we’ll continue to evaluate how best to support our students, faculty and staff, and adjust as needed.

Are We Headed For Another Shutdown?

Editor

The Alberta Government along with Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw imposed new restrictions due to the exponential rate that COVID-19 cases have been rising in Alberta. The two major cities along with other towns have been listed in the enhanced measures category.

Right now the Alberta Government is trying its best not to implement a mandatory lockdown and while I think it is for political reasons (everyone knows the majority of the Alberta population is against it) I wonder if they are thinking about the long term ramifications if they don’t? However, on the flip side we have to take into consideration the economic downfall Alberta would

face if another lockdown was implemented! Many businesses (especially small) could not withstand having to close their doors for a couple weeks let alone long-term!! I don’t know about you, but, I personally, would not want to be in either of their shoes when it comes to making that decision! I truly believe there would civil unrest if it were to happen, soooo many people are against it and with good reason!

The Government and health official’s state to wear a mask every time you venture out of your house, it also states to wash wash wash your hands or sanitize, to stay 6 feet apart, and if you feel ill to stay at home, but does any of these measures really work?

For months we have been told to follow these guidelines and for a while the curve was flattening, but as we all know the curve has quickly been rising over the last couple weeks, so,

my question is this, what’s causing it to rise so abruptly? Is it because people are becoming fatigued and not following the guidelines anymore? Or is it because now that things have opened up and we are all moving around doing our daily things, like working, shopping, visiting etc. the virus is given the opportunity to jump from each infected person whether they are following the preventive measures or not? I honestly don’t think we will ever know the real reasons.

This COVID-19 virus is trying it’s hardest to beat us, but we have to stay steadfast and do our part not to let it!!

So, no matter if you believe the Government is trying to control us, or whether you hate the thought of wearing a mask (I truly know the hardship it can be to wear a mask as I am extremely claustrophobic to the point it provokes panic attacks) I do understand that I have

This virus isn’t going away anytime soon, we know that, but hopefully if we can all work together and flatten the curve again that this time next year the worst of COVID-19 will be a distant memory. We as a community and as a province have to take every step we possibly can to prevent it from further spread. We cannot let it make us have to shut down again!!

Sausage making is an art that is often part of culture. It is the choice of seasoning that is used in the sausage that gives it is defining character. In both Alberta and Saskatchewan, home made sausage, at its finest can be purchased from local butchers and meat packers.

Sausage And Rice Skillet

fast sausages are a staple at pancake suppers. I discovered that much of the fat can be removed from the small pork sausages by boiling them first in hot water, the skins slip right off, and the sausage remains intact, yet tender. You can then use them in a variety of recipes. No matter what locally sourced sausage you use, we on the prairies are said to have the best sausage in Canada. This is a great supper recipe.

Cut the sausage into serving size pieces and in a skillet cook the sausage until done if raw or browned if smoked. Removed the cooked sausage, and then sauté the onions and garlic.

Julius Spevakow And His Trading Store

Columnist

Located in Mannville and still standing to this day, you will find the old Mannville Trading Store.

Today, it is Village Treasures but back in 1935, it was the trading spot for many new immigrants to the area. Built from June to September of that year, using concrete blocks that were made on site by hand with the use of a wooden mold that formed three blocks at a time.

Each block had a hole in the side to accommodate a metal rod that went through the blocks, and each block

was set aside to dry in the sun. When they were dry, a metal rod was put through the hole and the reinforced walls of the building were built.

The building is highly unique in the area because of this construction method and the blocks features a protruding design. In addition, the tin roof is unique to the area and it was crimped by hand to seal it, something only individuals who knew what they were doing could do.

The real bit of history attached to the building through comes from Julius Spevakow, who built the store itself.

The store was a one-stop-shop for everything that anyone needed including canned goods, fabrics, clothing, groceries and more. There were several general stores in the area but Spevakow specifically worked with the immigrant populations thanks to the fact that he was fluent in five different languages. Immigrants could come to him and speak their native tongue, rather than trying to use English.

Spevakow and his wife were known to be very generous and would often donate clothing to the poor during the winter. He also worked with Edmonton Produce during the height of the Great Depres-

sion. The company would buy produce directly from farmers and each farmer was given a voucher that they could then use at the Mannville Trading Store. Spevakow would always make sure he had plenty of clothing and groceries on hand for people who came in during those tough years.

The store was also a very popular meeting place for people in the area and plenty of farmers received the supplies they needed to grow crops at that store. The store itself would carry many through the Great Depression and keep them in the area rather than seeing them move on.

The store would operate until 1960 and would be a variety of other businesses until Village Treasures came along.

Due to its impact on the area, the building was made a Municipal Historic Resource on Jan. 27, 2010.

How To Make The Most Of Black Friday Sales For many people, Black Friday marks the start of the holiday shopping season, and with good reason. This highly anticipated event is an opportunity to buy everything from toys to electronics at incredibly low prices. Here are a few tips to help you find the best deals on November 27, 2020.

Sign up for newsletters A few we e k s b efo re B la ck Friday, register to receive emails from various big-box stores and specialty shops. This will help keep you up to date on the latest deals.

Plus, many stores offer exclusive discounts to loyal customers through their newsletters.

Consider your needs Black Friday is a good opportunity to check items off your holiday shopping list, but keep in mind that these limited-time offers apply to a wide range of products and services. Now might

Compare various offers Once you’ve compiled your wish list, consult your local newspaper, as well as a variety of flyers and websites, to make sure you find the best deals. In addition to saving money, you’ll know in advance which stores to visit.

Remember to have a plan B in mind since products tend to sell out fast on Black Friday.

Wake up early Many discounted items are available in limited quantities on Black Friday, so don’t wait to head to stores or make online purchases. Besides, if you have a lengthy shopping list, it’s best to give yourself plenty of time since you’ll likely need to wait in line.

Check Your Local Ads And Flyers!

More and more stores are starting Black Friday on November 27, so it’s worth your while to stay tuned to all the details. The big players release their mega-sale flyers early in the fall, while local boutiques tend to advertise a bit closer to the date.

Either way, before you launch your holiday shopping blitz, be sure to have a good idea of what you want, where to find it, and exactly when you need to get there.

Look for deals in bedding, home décor, dishware, brand-name clothing, and, of course, electronics. The hottest bargains every year are on laptops, tablets, and eReaders. Smartphone accessories are also great Black Friday buys.

Although traditio­nally a retail shopping event, mobile phone service providers and the retail stores who sell their plans are jumping on the bandwagon with superb rebates on smartphone packages. If it’s time for you to renew your plan, keep an eye out for good one-off deals on time and bonus services.

The desktop computer seems to be lagging in popu­larity these days, but what that means for consu­mers is wild discounts on top-quality hardware. It is now possible to set yourself up with up-to-snuff equipment for homework or home office for under $500!

Don’t ignore local shops, where Black Friday shopping is catching up with big city box stores. Check the ads and flyers in your weekly for great deals on sports equipment, toys, and other great Christmas gift ideas.

7 TIPS FOR ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS Have you decided to start going to the gym? If so, here are seven tips for following through on your exercise goals.

1. Find a gym you like Visit the gyms in your area and choose the one that suits you best. Some things to consider are the price, equipment, services, opening hours, clientele and amenities (in par­ticular, the locker room).

You should also assess a facility’s cleanliness and find out how busy the place is during the times you plan to exercise.

2. Get a gym buddy Do you know someone else who wants

MOVEMBER

to get in shape? For many people, exercising with another person helps them remain disciplined and motivated.

3. Gear up Having the right clothing and equipment will help you feel more comfortable at the gym. At the minimum, get a good pair of shoes, breathable exercise attire and a decent gym bag.

4. Get expert advice Consider hiring a trainer or other fitness pro­fessional to help you create a personalized exercise plan. This will help you make the most effective use of your

time at the gym.

5. Track your progress By regularly noting your weight, body measurements, blood pressure and other progress markers, you’ll be able to see how much your hard work pays off. This will help keep you motivated.

6. Challenge yourself To make progress, you need to keep pushing past your comfort zone. For example, if you continue to curl 15 pounds when it’s no longer heavy for you, you won’t make further gains. Bump up to a higher weight or harder type of exercise

when you’re ready.

7. Celebrate your achievements Have you been regularly working out for a month? Have you lost 10 pounds?

Reward yourself when you reach milestones. You could buy that tech gadget you’ve had your eye on, get a massage or enjoy a night out with your exercise buddy — whatever you choose.

Lastly, when you’re at the gym, avoid comparing yourself to others. No two people are the same, and the guy doing 300-pound deadlifts also had to start somewhere.

Derwent Raffle

Jerianne Bardoel Reporter

Derwent Ag Society is an organization that is run by volunteers from the community. This year they are doing a fundraiser to repair the Derwent Hall roof and update the building, which was built in 1965.

The raffle includes a $30,000 1st prize, $10,000 2nd prize, and $5,000 3rd prize.

The draw date is December 31, 2020.

1,999 tickets were printed for this raffle, giving a one in 666 chance of winning assuming all the tickets get sold. “It is a better chance than winning the lotto,” joked Derwent Ag Society Member, Connie Mackney.

Although the COVID regulations are tightening up, Mackney is hoping that the regulations lift by February 2021 in order for the Derwent Ag Society to host their annual Cabin Fever Dance, that Mackney introduced four years ago, involves a lunch, gathering, dance, and live band.

After several cases of covid-19 occurred in the Vermilion River area, it was decided that we would shut down the ‘store’ on November 19th.

Despite the shortened time line, we were able to serve a total of 79 adults and children. This could not have happened without Sue at the Vermilion Voice [for the space and their donated advertising], the volunteers who helped set up and take down the ‘store’, those who helped out our customers in the ‘store, Shelley for looking after our Facebook page, but especially to the people of Vermilion for the many coats, toques, mitts and gloves, scarves, ski pants, as

Chuckwagons - Old MacDonalds Barn

“And They’re Off!” One of the most familiar phrases uttered at the fair each year. The familiar call at the start of the chuckwagon races. Followed by the cheer of the crowd

and the thunder of hooves as the wagons go roaring around the track. Far removed from its humble origins, chuckwagon races are now engrained in Canadian culture and the Vermilion Fair, but it was not always that way. Today we will look back at the humble

origins of chuckwagon racing.

The first time a chuckwagon race was held in front of a spectator audience was at the 1923 Calgary Stampede. Guy Weadick, who 11 years prior founded the stampede created a ruleset where outriders and their crews had to load the chuckwagon with a stove and tent poles before taking off around the track, complete a figure 8 loop and start a fire. With first smoke signaling the winner.

A ruleset instituted to keep with the intended purpose of the chuckwagon as a transportable kitchen. Nowadays races have been streamlined to better suit audience viewing.

Gone are the days of starting fires and first smoke, but the pioneer spirit remains as riders continue to perfect the craft down to a science. One thing that has changed over the years however is the safety standards that accompany the event. The committee responsible for the chuckwagon races is always making sure that everything is set in palace to ensure the safety of not only the riders but the horses as well. Every summer at the Vermilion fair parents with young children often see the chuckwagons go blistering by while standing outside Old MacDonalds Barn while their children play in the newly added sandbox.

Old MacDonalds Barn is a sight many will recognize as a staple of fair life in Vermilion. But what you may not know is that Old

MacDonalds Barn was not always where it now stands on fair grounds and was in fact moved by truck and trailer many years ago, a journey that itself was not without incident as the barn would end up off the trailer and in the ditch. Luckily this was not the end for Old MacDonalds Barn, and it would eventually make its way to its current resting grounds at the Vermilion fairgrounds. Now the host to an adorable petting zoo. The committee behind the Old MacDonalds Barn is always working to bring more excitement to all the youngsters that frequent the fair. Whether it is the blistering high speed of the chuckwagons or taking it slow in the petting zoo, be sure to come by the next Vermilion Fair and enjoy both!

PET OF THE WEEK Wybie is the definition of a perfect kitten. This beautiful boy is so affectionate, loving and is so happy when you snuggle him close to your neck.

Wybie, we think would do excellent in any home, as long as it’s a home that will love him unconditionally. Meaning tons of hugs and plenty of toys. We have noticed that he isn’t the friendliest with other cats, but since he is still quite young, we think he would change with the right kitty or dog friend.

If you think Wybie is the one for you, then be sure to call and Book an Appointment with the SPCA to meet this handsome boy today!

Hope to see eveyone there!

Library Welcomes New Executive Chair

Elaina John Reporter

On October 28, the Vermilion Public Library held its Annual General Meeting and voted on new executive members.

“In general, it’s quite a transitional p er i o d,” C o u n c i l l o r a n d l o n g - t i m e library board member Justin Thompson explained.

After three years of being on the

library board, and being a part of the “ friends of the librar y ” in previous years, Thompson was elected as the executive chair. In this position, Thompson looks forward to modernizing the library and changing the perception of the library to more of an information hub rather than the traditional book depository.

Recently, the librar y conducted a

large-scale community needs assessment with approximately 20 community members. In this guided engagement session, communit y members and library board members discussed and evaluated the long-term vision for the town, and how the library might contribute to or help the vision come to life.

Results of the meeting will be available in approximately another month.

19

Along with Thompson, other executive members that were elected were Councillor Richard Yaceyko as Vice Chair and Anna Giesbrecht as Treasurer.

“I’m really excited for this opportunity, and I invite anyone from town and county to see what the Library has to offer,” Thompson said, “I guarantee it’s more than you expect.”

Renovations For Mannville’s Crossroads Museum

Jerianne Bardoel Reporter

The Crossroads Museum was originally built as a one-room school house.

Later it was moved into the Village of Mannville to be used as a church in 1956, known as the Ukrainian Catholic Church until 2008 when the Mannville

Historical Society purchased it to be used as a museum.

During a rain and wind storm back in fall time, the Crossroads Museum sustained significant damage which re q uire d re p air s. As re p air s were under way by the hard work of the Mannville Historical Society, they had

noticed there was more damage to the interior walls, floors, and ceiling.

They took the opportunity to update the wiring and lighting during this time as well.

Although some of the museum items were damaged by the rain seeping through, they were able to store the

other items in a separate area where they won’t be damaged by the weather.

Thank you to the Vermilion sewing group who provided JR staff with lovely fabric bags to store their clean and dirty face masks!

The Learning Commons just got a bit cheerier with the installation of a large beautiful mural painted by Danielle Ostropolski. The mural features a storybook with trees, a dragon and a fairy on its pages along with the quote “One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person… to read is to voyage through time.” Thank you, Danielle, for all the hard work you put into creating a wonderful piece of artwork that will be enjoyed for many years to come in the LC.

We will remember them. On November 6, VES had a virtual Remembrance Day ceremony. Students and staff listened to Mr. Harvey speak, and intermittently we watched videos relating to Remembrance Day. One video was a message sent to us from our Superintendent Mrs. Rhae-Ann Holoien. Another video was sent to us by the Canadian Armed Forces and a third video was our own Grade 6 students reciting In Flanders Fields. They did an outstanding job. Every class had a student go to the front of their classroom and lay a wreath in remembrance.

In mid-September, Fran Schaumleffel phoned VES and asked if staff would be interested in COVID mask bags. She offered to make two bags for

BULL BREEDERS It’s A New Era For Agriculture Research In Alberta

Hon. Devin Dreeshen Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Submitted

Over the last year we organized 17 consultation stops to speak directly with Albertans about their vision for agriculture research in the province.

Between in-person sessions and an online sur vey, over 2,000 farmers, ranchers, industry partners, researchers and academia shared what they thought the future of agriculture research should look like.

They overwhelmingly agreed that farmers and ranchers should decide Alberta’s agriculture research priorities. We heard that loud and clear, and this year, we’ve been working hard to make that a reality.

Results Driven Agriculture Research (RDAR), an arm’s-length organization, was established to ensure that the province’s agriculture research dollars reflect the needs of farmers and ranchers.

In recent weeks, RDAR has achieved multiple milestones in pursuit of a research model that puts farmers and ranchers in the driver’s seat. One of those achievements being a 10-year, $370 million agreement with Alberta’s government.

That is more than one third of a billion dollars that Alberta’s government has commit ted to agriculture research in the province. More than a l l of t h e ot h er Pr a ir i e Pr ov i n c e s combined.

This stable and predictable funding

will be awarded to research proposals that focus on the four initial priorities: • Enhanced productivity, profitability and competitiveness • Sustainable and responsible agriculture • M a r ke t d e m a n d s: f o o d s a f e t y, quality, value-added products and diversification • Extension and knowledge transfer Another impor tant milestone for RDAR was call for research funding proposals, with plent y of excellent submissions expected.

There is tremendous oppor tunity within our post-secondary institutions.

Recognizing that the biggest impact o n t h e in d u str y wo ul d c o m e fr o m partnerships with world-leading institutions, we announced agreements with several of Alberta’s colleges and universities. These agreements build on their well-earned reputations for strong agricultural research, opening up more collaboration and learning opportunities for the next generation of agronomists, veterinarians, and technicians.

These agreements included: A $2 million agreement with Lethbridge College that will see it manage t h e A l b er t a Irr i g at i o n Te c h n o l o g y Centre and the Brooks Greenhouse as part of it Centre for Applied Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.

A $3.7 million grant to help with the transition of critical research programs

and researchers to the University of Alber ta. The programs will expand and deepen its research capacit y, while ensuring Alberta’s farmers and ranchers benefit from the work it does.

We know that by putting farmers and ranchers in the driver’s seat, agriculture research in Alberta will result in practical discoveries that can be implemented in the field. While this year is turning out to be a record crop, next year could be even better with the ground-breaking research being done by rock star researchers in Alberta.

Wheat Price Spreads - Anomaly Or New Normal?

Prices are driven by supply and demand factors. Blue says that recent projections vary for the 3 U.S. futures markets when looking at each class of wheat on the comparative end of year stocks and the stocks to use ratio - end of year stocks divided by that year’s total usage.

‘Stocks of Hard Red Spring wheat at Minneapolis are increasing. Stocks of Hard Red Winter wheat at Kansas City are decreasing, and in Chicago, Soft Red Winter wheat stocks are projected to be similar after last year’s drop. From the U.S. perspective only, one could

Submitted

Provincial crop analyst Neil Blue looks at the 3 major wheat futures markets in the U.S. and what they mean for Canadian prices.

The Minneapolis Grain Exchange (MGE) has traded Hard Red Spring wheat futures for more than a century.

The prices from MGE are used as reference for contracting prices of Canadian Hard Red Spring wheat. The Kansas City Board of Trade, purchased by the CME group in 2012, trades Hard Red Winter wheat futures. The Kansas City futures are used as the reference for pricing Canada Prairie Spring wheats and Hard Red Winter wheat. The Chicago wheat futures trades Soft Red Winter wheat futures and used for pricing Canadian soft wheats.

‘Typically, Hard Red Spring wheat is the most valuable because of its superior bread making qualities, including the relatively high protein level,’ explains Blue. ‘Usually, the price of Hard Red Spring wheat futures is highest of the 3, followed by Kansas City Hard Red Winter wheat and Chicago wheat.’

Blue notes that relationship has reversed during the past several months.

‘During 2019, the Chicago wheat futures moved significantly higher than Kansas City wheat futures and, in the last few months, has moved higher than the Minneapolis wheat futures. The following weekly futures chart shows futures prices for those 3 wheat types and the price anomaly that developed where Chicago wheat is highest priced of the 3.’ Figure 1. Submitted

interpret that the Hard Red Winter wheat price has comparatively the best reason to increase during this crop year relative to the other wheats.’

He says that the weekly Commodity Futures Trading Commission report of October 30, 2020 shows speculators as being long, or net buy positions, 48,000 contracts of Chicago wheat, 41,000 contracts of Kansas City wheat and only 9,000 contracts of Minneapolis wheat.

‘The speculative influence can sometimes keep a market in a relative posit i o n l o n g er t h a n t h e f u n d a m e nt a l numbers would suggest,’ he explains.

‘Market analysts will be watching the relative wheat prices as the crop year progresses. Influences include weather on the growing wheat crops across the world, new wheat supply from Australia and Argentina, and wheat demand, currently accelerated by the drive for food security in the face of COVID-19.’

A look at how to analyze fertilizer values - a significant cost for farmers.

Fertilizer makes up approximately onethird of input costs for many crops, and it is usually the largest single component to cereal and oilseed crops.

‘Over the past 4 to 6 months, crop prices for Alberta farmers have been strengthening due to strong global sales demand,’ explains Ryan Furtas, market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. ‘Meanwhile, corresponding fertilizer prices have been slow to respond, remaining relatively well supplied and low cost.’

One way to analyze fertilizer value is to directly compare the cost of a fertilizer product with current crop prices. Furtas says that a commonly used fertilizer ratio will show the number of tonnes of wheat or canola required to purchase a tonne of urea fertilizer.

BULL BREEDERS

Fertilizer Ratios

‘In this instance, a lower ratio is favourable to producers and means less crop volume is required to purchase a given amount of fertilizer.’

Figures 1.0 and 1.1 compare average monthly canola and milling wheat values with monthly retail fertilizer products such as urea over the past five years.

Urea ‘The 5-year comparison shows recent urea versus canola and wheat prices are having a strong downward trend, which is the result of higher crop prices and relatively low fertilizer prices,’ he says. ‘The current canola ratio shows that selling one tonne of canola at current prices will pay for a single tonne of urea. The current ratio is 10% lower than the 5-year average.

Approximately two-thirds of the decrease is attributed to a higher canola prices and one-third due to the lower urea price.’

The current wheat ratio shows that it takes approximately 2 tonnes of wheat

to pay for a single tonne of urea. Furtas adds that historically speaking, 2 tonnes is a financially beneficial ratio for producers.

‘Comparing the milling wheat ratio to the 5-year average shows a decrease of just over 6%. The strengthening price of wheat and the urea price decrease are almost equally responsible for the ratio declining just over 6% when compared to 5-year average.’

Over the next few months, he says that fertilizer inputs could rise or grain prices could drop.

‘Producers not locking in either side of the ratio are sort of speculating that either fertilizer prices will go lower and grain will go higher. Based on the past 5-year trends in grain and fertilizer prices, the ratios show that is unlikely to occur. Both sides - grain and fertilizer - appear solidly priced.’

It is possible that urea prices will experience at least some small appreciation in

price going into the winter months.

‘Even though planting season is months away, North American urea is currently priced below global urea prices,’ he notes.

‘Many factors have changed in the past 5 years. Expanded fertilizer production and lower energy prices have been key in recent years, but those factors can shift and fertilizer prices may soon follow.’

‘Considering the combination of strong grain prices and relatively low fertilizer prices, securing a portion of urea tonnage at this time would be considered prudent risk management on the input side of the scale for Alberta producers,’ he adds.
