Between 12:30 am and 1:00 am on Tuesday morning, Kerrobert was hit with near 100 km/hour winds as part of a severe thunderstorm. The damage of this event caused some heavy damage throughout our town.
We had multiple trees uprooted, large branches broken, some of which came down onto buildings and
homes. We had multiple holiday campers flipped over at the Wild Goose Campground. Even though a couple of the campers had people inside, miraculously nobody was seriously injured. We had a grain bin blow into our cemetery. We had smaller tree branches scattered throughout every street and alley.
Community comes together after storm
FROM FRONT PAGE
There are a great number of power lines that broke south of Kerrobert on highway 21 towards Kindersley. One local business had the roof blow off their industrial building. It was a scary event to be sure, but we will rise to the occasion and venture ahead.
Our Town staff started the cleanup right away with cutting broken branches and hauling away debris.
We had asked residents to bring their debris to the front street or back alley and our crews will come around to pick up and haul to our landfill. Many residents also stepped up with trucks, trailers and chainsaws to help. Our landfill will stay open for extended hours in order to help with the cleanup. It is great to see our community come together as it has and as it always does. The cleanup will take a while, but with everyone pitching in, we will have things cleaned up in no time. I want to thank Sask Power for all their hard work restoring power, and I want to thank Baker Hughes and our local Kinsmen that put on a free barbeque for the community as we were without power all-day Tuesday. It is greatly appreciated.
I also want to send a huge thank you to everyone in our community that stepped up to assist with the cleanup. This is a big mess and will require many sets of hands to pitch in to clean it up, and it never surprises me at how the community comes together to help each other out in times like this.

“The true benefit of living in a small town” Many thanks to
BY BOBBI HEBRON Kerrobert Rec Director
Here we go again was my first thought as I drove around at 1:30am in the morning following the storm that hit on Monday August 2. Some streets were impassable as I tried to get to all the Rec facilities to check for broken windows or damaged roofs, thankfully of which I found none. That was a relief as the 2015 storm had done major damage to our facilities. Besides some minor damages which included flipped bleachers, benches and chairs, damaged playground equipment, missing siding; we were mostly spared so far as we can tell two days in. Trees and power lines were another story … Town staff got right to work in the
everyone who went above and beyond during this time.
wee hours of the day assessing damages, making a plan and then cleaning streets, boulevards and properties. Very quickly help arrived in the form of local businesses, volunteers, town councillors, lifeguards and summer students. By 7:00am, working chainsaws and visiting neighbors were as plentiful on the streets as the downed trees. Damages around town were intense; downed power lines, flipped campers, damaged homes, business roofs gone, fences blown over, broken windows and more. But throughout the day people of all ages pitched in. Deliveries of coffee and water were made. We saw strangers helping each other out and we are so happy to know that the injuries that some experienced were minor.
on, the loss of power was becoming a serious concern. Thanks to the people from Sask Power who had it restored by 7:30pm the next day. But not before home owners and especially our businesses had some food loss. The water plant was also a concern without power and water rationing was put in place. It is now fully operational as of Thursday Aug 4 at 7:30am.
The pool took some time to reopen as circulation and chemical balancing takes a few extra days to restore. Several steps need to happen when reopening after being closed. We anticipate that it will be reopened on Friday August 5 with 3 days of closure.
property (boulevards, parks, greenspaces) that has branches that need attention, please contact the Town office we are continuing to work through the list.
• If you have trees down in your yard, they are your responsibility and we encourage you to contact a local tree company to assist you with removal. Contact the Town office if you need more information.
• We stayed in touch with the community through Facebook and the Voyent Alert app and we strongly encourage everyone to download this app if you wish to be notified in emergency situations. Call the office for more information on how to set that up.
MONDAY, AUGUST 8th to FRIDAY, AUGUST 12th
10:00 AM-5:30 PM ALL SALES FINAL
With the power still out, the men from the Kerrobert Kinsmen did what they do best. They gathered their troops to feed a hungry and tired community. With the help of Baker Hughes, Baytex Energy, Macro Properties/Wild Goose Motel, Kerrobert Bakery and Kerrobert Shop Easy they provided a free supper to over 300 people with deliveries being made to our Senior Homes and to the hard working people of Sask Power.
As the day went
During that time, we were happy to run the Park Program and special thanks to Rivers West District and Kerrobert Paint and Body for opening their doors for us!
So the work continues and here is what you should know :
• All branches should be piled on the boulevards. We will continue with front yard pick up so long as we need to.
• Branches that are too heavy to move from the alleys will be removed as time permits.
• Town staff are continuing to assess the tree damage. If you spot a tree on town
• We have extended the landfill hours. Watch for that information on Facebook and Voyent Alert.
• If you find a tree down on a power line you should contact Sk Power at 310-2220 or 1-888-355-5589.
• If you lost a recycling bin or have come across one, please contact the Town office. Many people are posting lost items on the Kerrobert Buy and Sell Facebook page. Many thanks to everyone who went above and beyond during this time. We saw the best of people and the true benefit of living in a small town.

Prairiedale Anglican church celebrates 100th anniversary
BY JOAN JANZEN
St. Catherine’s Anglican Church at Prairiedale, Sask. celebrated its 100th anniversary on Sunday, August 7. The historic church is located one mile west of Major, Sask. The Reverend David Nevett officiated at the 2:00 o’clock service, after which everyone was invited to the Delmer Patton farm for a potluck meal, including barbecue beef on a bun supplied by the Patton and Jeffries families.
Both the church and St. Catherine’s Cemetery were consecrated on August 13, 1922. Local resident Murray Jeffries said his dad helped to build the church. “It was all built by hand because they didn’t have power, and it was all volunteer labour. The school was built first, then the church,” he explained.
Prairiedale School was built in 1911 and opened in 1912 with 20 pupils attending. The school closed its doors in 1958, and the building was eventually moved and then demolished. Church services were held in the school beginning in 1914 until 1921, when the church was built south of the school.
According to information from “Where the Wild Goose Flies”, the history of Prairiedale and Smiley area, the church was built under the direction of Roy Everett and Harry McCormick, with funds coming from Saint Catherine’s parish in England.
The Reverend David Nevett noted the church was built while Archdeacon Hasell was the priest of the parish. He was affectionately known as “Hurricane Hasell” because of his untiring energy and forthright way of getting things done. He and his wife Constance were a team, serving the people of the area.
Archdeacon Hasell was born in England on July 1, 1889. He, along with his wife, came to Canada, where he was ordained a Deacon in 1917 and a priest in 1922 and appointed Archdeacon in 1945. He stayed in the area until his retirement in 1961.
His wife’s family in England were described as “rich,” often contributing financial assistance in various ways. The relatives in England may have been involved in the donation of pews from a church in England.
“Communication was by telegraph back then,” Murray Jeffries explained, “So there was a delay in the arrival of the pews.”
The Archdeacon’s in-laws also sent money for a new car during the Dirty Thirties. His wife was somewhat embarrassed about their good fortune when others had so little. However, with the help of their family in England, the couple was also able to bless the people in their community.
The Reverend Nevett recalled there were many wonderful stories about what the couple did for the peo-
ple in that area, particularly in the Dirty Thirties, when none of the farmers had anything. Bales of gifts were sent out at Christmas time free of charge, so there would be a little gift for both adults and children when Christmas concerts were held.
“Archdeacon was one who loved rural communities,” the Reverend Nevett said.
Murray Jeffries was baptized and confirmed at St. Catherine’s. He recalled the priest travelling on a speeder on the rail line to Loverna for baptisms and funerals during the winter months.
When a farmer explained his absence from Sunday service to the Archdeacon, saying he had been in the field haying, the priest had a witty response. “I’d rather you were cutting hay and thinking about church than being in church thinking about cutting hay,” he said. The Archdeacon and his wife did a lot for the community, and Prairiedale was one of many churches he established in western Saskatchewan.
Information recorded in “Where the Wild Goose Flies” notes that Prairiedale and Smiley Anglican churches amalgamated in the 1970s, with services held at Prairiedale in the summer and Smiley in the winter.
Archdeacon Hasell retired to the west coast for two short years until 1963, when he returned to Alsask to become the Padre to Canadian Forces Station, Alsask. The

CHECK IT OUT with Joan Janzen
Rewards of negotiating with a 2-year-old
The man was asked, “So can you tell me what makes you qualified for the position of hostage negotiator?” The man replied “I have a 2 year old.” He was hired.
Julius Peterson is the son of Jordan Peterson, a professor and clinical psychologist. In a rare interview with his father, Julius said, “We practiced negotiating a lot as kids. It’s definitely one of the skills that’s vey useful in the relationships I have.”
During teaching sessions, Jordan has used his son as an example. He recalled his son at age two years and said, “My son was quite disagreeable by temperament. Telling him to stop doing something wouldn’t have any affect. He would just laugh or run away. He was a tough little rat.” It turns out, even psychologists sire children who
have temper tantrums. As a clinical psychologist, studying the practice of normal and abnormal behaviour, the senior Peterson should be qualified to handle a 2-year-old. It may be that experience which inspired a chapter in one of his books entitled “Don’t let your children do anything that makes you dislike them”.
Jordan explained, “He’d do something, and when I’d interfere he’d get upset and angry,” he said. We’re all familiar with twoyear-olds who have temper tantrums. “I’d tell him to sit on the step until he got control of himself, and then he could come back and be welcomed back into the family.”
Peterson said his son Julius would be enraged, kicking and screaming. “If you saw an adult do that you’d call 911 right away,” he
joked. After a few minutes, Peterson reinforced the rule once again, that when the toddler calmed down he was welcome back, but it was his choice. After a few more minutes he’d ask his son if he had got himself under control yet, to which his son yelled back, “No! Not yet!” Eventually he calmed down.
“It’s actually not much fun to have a temper tan-
trum; it’s exhausting,” Jordan said. “He’d get himself under control and be contrite, and I’d invite him back right away, because no parent likes being dominated by a 2 year old. Discipline is partly what enables you to like your child while you love them.”
According to Jordan, a parent’s primary role when their child is aged 2 to 4 years, is to help them learn how to act in the world, so when people encounter them they smile and are happy to have them around.
“I see kids who behave badly and everywhere they go people wear false smiles and are relieved when they leave. From a child’s perspective, everyone is lying and everyone hates them,” he explained. This results in a four year old, who has always gotten his or her own way, becoming cynical and arrogant. “But when children can interact with adults and children in a positive way, the whole world opens up for them,” he concluded.
“Lots of parents are very uneasy with disciplining their children partly because they believe if you give a child infinite freedom that’s best for them and constraints are inappropriate. That is so untrue that it’s very difficult
to think of anything that’s more untrue,” Jordan emphasized.
His methods of discipline appeared to have worked in the life of his son. When Julius was ten years old, his sister became very ill. Jordan recalled to his adult son, “I said, look kiddo, we’re up to our necks here. You’re going to have to be sensible and realize we can’t give you a lot of attention right now, and you were.”
As for the negotiating skills of the now adult son, Julius said, “Basically one person has to give in a little in the beginning. Eventually the other person will meet you somewhere along the way, once the negativity or emotion goes out of the situation.”
His dad agreed, saying, “It means you’re willing to change as a consequence of this situation. You’re willing to do it so you can both make this better for both of you. That’s the point of a successful negotiation.”
Jordan complimented his son, saying, “You’ve organized your life in a consistent manner and simultaneously pursued your artistic pursuits.” It’s the freedom Julius enjoys because his father had taught his two-year-old how to be disciplined.

Pop89 Garden in the sky
BY MADONNA HAMEL
“We come from the stars, you know,” I say to my friend Page as he begins setting up his camera to take pictures of the night sky. Nowhere have I lived where the sky is so dense with starlight. The Grasslands at night smotes me breathless with its beauty. I stretch out on the hood of the car; the heat from the engine warms my back as the evening cools down. I prop a pillow under my head and gawk at the heavens on the cusp of this year’s Perseids shower, about to be reminded of how teeny-tiny me and my problems actually are.
“Uh-huh,” he says, “Joni got it right.” He’s concentrating on placing his camera, extending the legs of the tripod, tipping the lens slightly upward, prevaricating over exactly where to point the thing, even though he’s got a wide-angle lens capable of encapsulating the whole half-bowl of sky.
“We are stardust, we are golden, and we have to get ourselves back to the garden,” I sing from the iconic Woodstock song by Joni Mitchell. She wasn’t there, but she understood the urge - to get back to the beauty and harmony of a simple Edenic life, lived alongside plants and animals.
“But I’m not just referring to a 1960’s melody,” I say, “I’m reading Blair Stonechild’s book: ‘Loss of Indigenous Eden.” He writes about the story of the beginning of humanity that goes way, way back before the so-called ancient Greeks. The true ancients were - are - Indigenous, and they tell of people coming from the stars and - oh wow! Did you see that?”
A falling star arcs across the sky for a good three seconds, as long as it takes me to tell Page, he missed it. Then there’s another and another. I keep pointing up, and he keeps happening to be looking in the opposite direction. I continue: “Stonechild says why should we believe the Earth was created in seven days or that we come from some biological ooze anymore than we come from the stars? I mean, when it comes to the soul descending into the body, why couldn’t we come from out there?”
“Why not?” Page finally steps away from his camera and presses the shutter release for a long exposure. “Do you know how stars are made?”
“An agent with good connections, a PR machine and lots of money.”
“Funny. Actually, if I remember correctly, in the early stages of the universe, the only two elements that existed were hydrogen and helium.”
“’If I remember correctly’,” I laugh, quoting him, “Like you were there!”
“Then, a billion years after the Big Bang, loose floating matter formed nearly 100 billion galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars. Then, when those stars exploded, they created new carbon-producing stars. And of course - if you recall the Coneheads - we are carbon-based units.”
“Of course.” We go quiet for a second. I can never wrap my brain around the numbers. And how time and space become the same thing when you’re talking such massive distances.
“Can you remind me how close the nearest star to us is?”
“Proxima Centari is 4.25 light years away. And light travels at 186,000 miles a second.”
“Right. So, when we look out at all these stars, we are looking at the past.”
“We’re looking at light that left that particular star 4.25 years ago. For all we know, it could be gone now, but we won’t know for 4.25 years.”
“It’s hard to make sense of any of this.”
“Well, as Neil DeGrasse Tyson says: The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.”
Tyson is the astrophysicist who supplies Page - and millions of other lovers of the cosmos - with his astronomical
facts and figures. And Tyson is right. The universe is a Great Mystery, no matter which creation myth you warm to. If with our limited cranial capacity, we think we can articulate its full unspeakable magnificence, if we think we’ve got a handle on it and can make sense of it, then we have lost our sense of wonder and would make lousy scientists, mystics or storytellers. Not to mention, we’d be pompous louts.
Still, it helps to read Stonechild and DeGrasse to appreciate the many poetic ways we touchingly attempt to speak the unspeakable. Like when Tyson writes, in ‘Astrophysics for People in a Hurry’: nearly 14 billion years ago, “all the space and all the matter and all the energy of the universe sat in something less than one-trillionth the size of the period at the end of this sentence.”
“Stonechild writes that the end of time depends not on the earth but upon the heavenly realm,” I say to Page, still taking long exposures of the sky. “He says time will not end until those who have finished experiencing their physical essence have found their way back to spirit. He says the body has a 1000 wills, the spirit only one - to go back to where it came from.
“Like Joni says: We’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.”
“It’s like, we’re just specks,” I sigh. “But at the same time, we’re here for far more important pursuits than chasing fame and fortune.” Silence. “Someone really oughta tell the Kardashians.” More silence. “Sometimes these questions, about spirit and mystery, they keep me up at night. What about you?”
“What keeps me up at night is wondering if Elias Petterson’s injury will keep him out of the lineup.”
“Of course,” I say. We joke that we can never have a conversation without Page mentioning the NHL. And it’s a red letter day if he can squeeze in The Alamo. So, under the sublime rainbow of the Milky Way, he adds: “But then I just do what I’ve done since I was twelve; I imagine myself on the ramparts, heroically defending the Alamo. Only I haven’t died yet.”

Looking back at past Kerrobert storms
BY BREENA HEBRON Kerrobert Museum
The recent storm may call to mind other past summer storms that have affected the Kerrobert area. The Kerrobert and District Museum has records, and even some pictures, of a few of the area’s historic storms. Those living in Kerrobert in 2015 will recall the golf ball-sized hail that went through town and all the damage it caused. SGI reported 1,021 vehicle claims as well as 174 property claims as a

result of this storm. It was not until 2018 that all the repairs on Kerrobert’s recreational facilities were fully completed. The long weekend of August in 1993 brought a plow wind through the Kerrobert-Coleville area, with reports of the uprooting of trees, cats and dogs being blown away, farm machinery being knocked over, and large tree branches broken throughout town. There was even one lost roof. In July of 1990, a tornado caused $20,000 worth of damage 16 km outside of Kerrobert. Winds up to 64 miles/

hour hit the Kindersley area in June of 1973, overturning mobile homes and causing trees to break. Repairs to the shingles and eavestroughs were made at the Courthouse after they were damaged by a storm in 1965. From 1932 to 1939, dust storms were common. They happened almost weekly at some points, blackening the sky and shooting dust as high as 100 feet in the air.

In 1927, Floyd Glass’s newly completed barn was blown down, and telephone poles and lines were broken. Despite this setback, the town pulled together and reconstructed
the Glass barn from the debris so Kerrobert could have its creamery again. In July 1919, a miniature cyclone blew down Kerrobert’s first rink. Harry Gardiner was killed by the flying debris. On June 1st of 1910, the rain turned into sleet and then into snow, slowing down pioneer William (Burt) Sample as he was on his way back to Kerrobert. This storm was later known as the Great Snow, and it was the only moisture the area got all summer long. Needless to say, Kerrobert residents have been battling the weather here since before the town began!

Saskatchewan drilling rig report for August 2
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK Pipeline Online
Drilling rig activity in Saskatchewan is seeing consistent activity in all regions of the province, as well as three companies drilling for helium and one for lithium.
That’s according to Canadian Association of Energy Contractors data, published by RiggerTalk.com.
In southeast Saskatchewan, fifteen rigs were making hole.
Taprock was drilling south of Carnduff with Betts Drilling Rig 2, close to the U.S. border. Betts Rig 4 was working a little north of that, at Glen Ewen, for Villanova.
Vermillion Energy Inc. had Panther Drilling Rig 3 at Northgate.
Savanna Drilling Rig 436 was drilling south of Manor for Vermillion. Betts Rig 3 was drilling closer to Manor for Saturn Oil & Gas.
Near Hazelwood, Cache Island Corp. employed Precision Drilling Rig 275. Close to it, Crescent Point Energy Corp. had Precisions Rig 195.
The Lampman area is the new centre of activity in recent years, with five rigs in close proximity. Stampede Drilling Rig 4 was east of Lampman, drilling for Tundra Oil & Gas. Panther Drilling Rig 4 was just south of Lampman drilling for Vital Energy Inc.
North of Lampman, at Browning, Whitecap Resources Inc. had Ensign Drilling Inc. Rig 423. They also had Stampede Rig 17 northwest of Lampman. Stampede Rig 7 was nearby, at Woodley, drilling for Crescent Point.
A little to the west, at Bryant, Stampede Rig 2 was working for Surge Energy Inc.
Notable for their absence, there were no rigs working in close proximity to Stoughton, which is heart of the Viewfield Bakken play.
Only one rig was working in the Torquay/ Oungre area, with Ensign Drilling Rig 421 drilling for Crescent Point at Ratcliffe.
Moving to the west along the U.S. border one finds two helium rigs. Savanna Drilling Rig 418 is drilling for Helium Evolution south of Lafleche
and near Glentworth. Just north of Monchy, Stampede Rig 8 was working for Royal Helium Ltd.
Southwest of Shaunavon, Crescent Point had Savanna Rig 416. South of that, and north of Frontier, Savanna Rig 419 was also drilling for Crescent Point.
The map shows North American Helium drilling southwest of Shaunavon. This is a new area for North American, which has done most of its work at Battle Creek north of Consul. More recently, North American has been drilling near Mankota.
Moving to west central Saskatchewan, Saturn had Savanna Rig 431 working east of Plato. This is an area it recently picked up from Crescent Point. Teine Energy Ltd. Had a right just northeast of Plato.
Baytex had Savanna Rig 441 working just north of Kindersley. Teine had Ensign Rig 351 between Dodsland and Brock, and Ensign Rig 356 just northeast of Dodsland.
Precision Drilling Rig 145 was making hole for Strathcona Resources Ltd. northwest of Kelfield.
At Hoosier, Teine had Ensign Rig 350. Ish Energy Ltd. employed Lasso Drilling Corp. Rig 6 northeast of Hoosier.
The area north of Coleville had four rigs working. Baytex had Savanna Rig 425 and Precision Rig 155, Whitecap had Bonanza Drilling Rig 2.
A standout is Grounded Lithium, drilling its first hole, making this the second targeted lithium hole drilled in Saskatchewan. The first was drilled late last summer by Prairie Lithium, near Torquay. Grounded’s hole is at 04-15-032-23W3.
Right along the Alberta border, Savanna Rig 414 was listed working for “Potash.”
Jumping up to northwest Saskatchewan, six rigs were working. Rife Resources had Precision Rig 204 turning to the right near Lashburn. Cenovus had Precision Rig 198 north of Maidstone, Rig 254 southeast of Edam, Rig 197 and Rig 147 at Spruce Lake.
Finally, International Petroleum Corp. had Ensign Rig 650 at Onion Lake.
TRALAPA
Here for the Party

Tralapa Music and Sports Festival is a multi-genre festival that raises funds for various causes and communities across Saskatchewan; hosted at Tramping Lake Park and is a weekend full of music, mini golf, beach volleyball and more fun for all.
Tramping Lake Park was founded in 1917, but due to unfortunate circumstances, it shut down in 2003 until a group of individuals decided to host the Tralapa Festival once yearly to bring the park back to life and support their community.
The array of country, rock and roll, and electronics combined with lighthearted outdoor sports brings together those from all walks of life for a weekend of music, sports, food and drinks but most importantly, a good time!

Canadian athletes are world headliners
BY BRUCE PENTON Sports Columnist
Canadians athletes were on top of the sports world over the July 23-24 weekend.
First, in a race usually dominated by Jamaica, the United States or Great Britain, the Canadian 4 x 100 relay team captured a gold medal in the World Athletic Championships in Eugene, Ore.
The next day, on a golf course at Evian-les-bains, France, 400 kilometres from Paris, Canada’s golfing sweetheart, Brooke Henderson, survived a rather sloppy final round by rolling in an eight-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the Evian Championship. The tournament is one of five majors on the Ladies Professional Golfers’ Association calendar.
The relay team, consisting of Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney and anchor man Andre De Grasse, posted a time of 37.48 seconds to nip the favoured U.S by seven one-hundredths of a second.
“It means everything,” De Grasse told the CBC’s Devin Heroux. “We’ve been
talking about this for a few years now … It feels good to get it here . . . a lot of Canadian fans here so it almost feels like home soil.”
The quartet’s time was a Canadian record, with De Grasse’s leg timed at a jetlike 8.79 seconds.
Meanwhile, the 24-yearold Henderson kept Canadian athletes in the world sports headlines the next day by winning her second major title. She started the day with a two-stroke lead, lost it on the front nine (thanks in part to a fourputt), got back into a tie with a pair of birdies on the back nine and then rolled in the crucial winning putt on 18. She now has 12 LPGA titles to her credit and vaulted to No. 6 on the world-ranking list. Oh, she also won a cool $1 million for her victory.
Henderson, of Smiths Falls, Ont., had been tied with Sandra Post and Mike Weir for most major golf titles won by Canadians (one) and now sits atop that list, with more almost certainly to come.
“I stayed pretty patient, as patient as I could under the circumstances,” Henderson said in a post-round interview, and reported by CBC. ”Going into the back
nine, the saying is that majors are won on the back nine on Sunday so I just tried to keep that frame of mind and knew I was still in it if I had a solid back [nine].”
The relay team needed not quite 40 seconds to accomplish its feat, while Henderson needed four days and 72 holes to reach her pinnacle. But the headlines — big and bold — were the same size.

Cut canola later for higher yield
Grain-fed vs grass-fed beef
How to manage animal waste
BY SHAWN SENKO Canola Council of Canada
BY JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group
Grassfed and grainfed are terms used to describe the feeding program for grazing animals like cattle. Here’s an overview of what these terms mean for the beef you’re eating.
GRAIN-FED
Kindergarten students from Westberry School enjoyed a fun field trip on Thursday and Friday, June 9th and 10th. Miss. Robertson and Mrs. Dimitroff brought their students to Rosanna Farms, located south of Kindersley, home of Robin and Brenda Walde.
Growers who give canola crops time for all seeds to reach maturity can see a 10 per cent increase in yield. That is why the Canola Council of Canada recommends swathing when the main stem shows at least 60 per cent seed colour change.
While most cattle are raised eating grass, many farmers “finish” their cows on feed mixtures made from grains and corn. This process fattens the cattle up faster and gets
While there’s nothing harmful about grain finishing, it does change the composition and flavour of the meat. For example, grainfed beef is heavily marbled and has a buttery, slightly sweet taste. Most people describe it as meltinyourmouth tender.
GRASS-FED
Evidence for this later cutting time has been gathered over the years, starting with a Canola Council study from the early 2000s. Results showed that canola swathed at 60-70 per cent seed colour change (SCC) yielded 11 per cent more than fields swathed at 30-40 per cent. In 2013, Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation compared two swath timings – 20-30 per cent and 50-60 per cent SCC – and found that waiting a week until canola reached the more advanced stage increased yields by nearly nine per cent. BASF trials found that 60 per cent SCC is the “sweet spot” for hybrids without the pod-shatter trait. For hybrids with the pod-shatter trait, BASF trials showed higher yields for canola swathed at 80 per cent and highest yields for canola straight combined.
Devin Walde, Payton Walde, Brennon Ness and Colt Beswitherick hosted groups of students at different farm stations. The children learned all about seeding, harvest and bin storage. They also spent time inside the shed where they learned about seed, fertilizer and chemical.
Grassfed beef comes from cattle that spend their entire lives eating grass. Typically, they graze on pastureland in the spring and summer, then eat hay in the fall and winter. Raising beef this way takes a lot of time, as grassfed animals take six to 12 months lon ger to reach market weight than grainfed animals. This extra time makes it more ex pensive for the rancher and the consumer.
A 2020 Canola Council survey of 1,000 canola growers suggests many are cutting too early, and leaving yield on the table. Of the growers who swath all or some of their canola, the survey found that half of them target an SCC of less than 60 per cent when deciding to swath.
Growers may have reasons to cut early based on frost risk and logistics, but where possible, we’d like to see the target shift to later cutting.
What does 60% SCC look like?
completely turned brown-black in colour. Seeds from the middle third will be mostly brown, with some speckling and mottling. Seeds from the top third will still be green but firm to roll. Seeds that are mushy when rolled between the thumb and finger are not physiologically mature and will shrivel up after cutting. With the main stem showing this level of maturity, seeds from side branches should also be firm to roll. If they’re not, growers may want to leave the field standing a little longer. SCC will typically increase by about 10 percentage points every two or three days (quicker under hot dry conditions, slower under cool moist conditions), so waiting a week can provide a big boost in yield and potential profit.
Animal waste contains many useful and re cyclable components. However, if incor rectly stored, it can negatively impact soil, water and air quality. Here are a couple of the most common animal waste manage ment strategies.
DRY STACKING
To finish off the event, they all ate their lunch in the shop, where they decorated the cement pads with their creative chalk art. Thanks to Rosanna Farms for hosting this field trip!

Dry stacking animal waste involves piling solid manure and soiled livestock bedding in a covered storage bin with a concrete bot tom. Farmers must ensure the pile is com pacted, covered and sealed to prevent ma nure nutrients from leaching into the soil. Drystacked manure can be treated with ad ditives such as lime to help reduce unplea
Uneven fields
Grassfed beef is leaner and darker in colour than grainfed beef and has a slightly gamey taste. It is somewhat higher in nutrients like beta carotene and vitamin E. It also has more omega3 fatty acids.
Canola fields with plants at varying states of maturity often have growers wondering when to cut the crop. Ideally, the least-mature areas of the field will be left until their seeds reach physiological maturity. Swathing remains the best and least risky option to manage extreme variation in maturity, however uneven crops could be left for straight combining. While early maturing plants may start to shell out, late plants have more time to mature. And straight combining eliminates the need to make the swath timing decision at all. Of the farmers who participated in the 2020 CCC survey, 19 per cent straight combined all of their canola acres.
Despite variations in cost and taste, both grain and grass ces of protein, B vitamins, iron and zinc.

• Natural service is used by most cattle breeders and producers. It’s the natural breeding method where the cow and bull are allowed to mate without technological intervention. In other words, the bull and cow mate as they naturally show heat.
Other days, I don’t see the rainbows.
Although the bulls must be fed and taken care of all year, this method is relatively handsoff and doesn’t require special equipment.

This breeding method is labourintensive and requires farmers to invest in expensive facilities, equipment and estrous synchronization drugs. However, it often results in improved reproductive performance and herd genetics. In addition, AI reduces the risk of disease transmission.

Why do individuals have different memories of the same event?
“I am not selling Durum until the price returns to $22 per bushel.”
Can we trust memories when individuals remember events differently?
It was January. I was having a conversation with a Durum grower.
Our experiences and our traumas affect our perception of the world.
The ‘fundamentals’ were still bullish with supply levels dropping and the new Durum harvest months away.
Can we trust what we see if we project our emotions into our reality?

Meanwhile, the parabolic move from July had experienced a correction and showed signs of exhaustion.
Do you ignore price action and search for reasons to support your position?
The price of Durum wheat was below the market high; however, the grower had anchored his price expectations to that level.
You are not alone.

Only Price Pays.
Take a look at the Red Lentil’s parabolic move to the $60 area before the 41% sell-off. Yes, 41%
How can this be?
We see that there are more mouths to feed and less lentils to feed them.
We see that the world has only 10 weeks of food supply.
We see how the Russia invasion of Ukraine is reducing food supplies.
We see several reasons for the price to move higher.
We don’t see that the price is dropping because there are more sellers than buyers.

We see what we want to see.
The Durum grower’s anchoring bias results in holding the com-
modity that has lost value as they have anchored their price target to the recent high price rather than follow the technicals.
As the price continues lower, the grower is likely to experience many emotions, including complacency, anxiety, denial, panic, anger and eventually depression.
When done correctly, fish farming is a highly ecofriendly and sustainable way to raise fish. It helps create healthier habitats and rebuild stocks of threatened and endangered species.
This selling price is $10 per bushel below the market peak giving back the equivalent of the 2014-15 high.
The ramifications can be expensive.
Did you know that many fish farms and hatcheries offer tours? Look for one near you to get a glimpse into this fascinating industry.
Before we chastise the grower, consider that we all experience anchoring bias in our lives.
