Yield Manitoba continues to help Manitoba producers

W

e are grateful to be able to provide you with the 16th edition of Yield Manitoba. The first edition started in 2000 and it has been published every year since. It is a joint publication brought to you by Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC) and the Manitoba Co-operator. The variety yield information listed in the Yield Manitoba tables are a compilation of the actual on-farm yields reported to the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC) by producers from their respective risk areas. In order for variety information to be listed in the table the variety must have a variety name and been sown by at least three producers on a minimum of 500 acres. This ensures that the sample size is reasonable and protects the confidentiality of individual producer information. MASC has many yields it tracks for administrative purposes (e.g. gross, net, grade adjusted, etc.) and users of Yield Manitoba need to know what yield is being reported in the variety comparison tables. The Yield Manitoba yields are “net yields” derived by adjusting the gross yields reported by producers on their MASC Harvested Production Reports (HPR) by the moisture, dockage and test weight, also reported on the HPR. Additionally, when there are measured yields from MASC appraisals or claims those yields will override reported net yields for Yield Manitoba purposes. Destroyed acres with no appraisal are reported with a yield of zero. Alternate-use acres with no appraisals are not reported. None of the yields in Yield Manitoba are adjusted for grades.

Please note that management and environmental influences have not been standardized in the Yield Manitoba variety yield tables so caution should be exercised when doing cross-variety comparisons, particularly when there are limited acres or years of information. Cross-variety comparisons are most meaningful between varieties grown on large acreage over many years. Additionally, to make the best variety selection for your farm it is recommended that you use the information in Yield Manitoba in combination with other information sources such as Seed Manitoba. This information is meant to be used as a planning tool in conjunction with common sense and experience. If unsure, contact your local Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) representative for assistance in utilizing this information. Additional MASC variety information analysis can be conducted on the Internet using MASC’s Manitoba Management Plus Program (MMPP) “Variety Yield Data Browser.” This public online query tool lets you look at variety information to a finer scale (rural municipality) and for more years (back to 1993). The MMPP Variety Yield Data Browser is available at www.mmpp.com/ mmpp.nsf/mmpp_browser_variety.html. In addition the MMPP website has other management information useful for benchmarking, marketing assessment and improved farm management decision-making. We hope that you find this publication useful, perhaps even enjoyable. If you would like more information on this publication, or the data included, please contact MASC at mmpp@masc.mb.ca.

Excess moisture and flooding prevented farmers from seeding almost one million acres — a loss not captured in the average yields of the crops that were planted and harvested

Manitoba’s 2014 crop yields

are down from 2013

but mostly still above average by Allan Dawson, Manitoba Co-operator staff

M

any Manitoba farmers will remember 2014 as a tough year, yet with the exception of winter wheat, most crops still yielded above average. Almost a million acres were too wet to seed and thousands more of crop, forage and pasture were damaged by too much rain and flooding. Not surprisingly, none of the major crops broke any provincial average yield records, according to data from the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation’s Management Plus program, some of which are included in this issue. The data is also searchable online at www. mmpp.com. The growing season started off cool and wet, but by the end most regions received close to normal heat units, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) weather data shows.

While much of eastern and central Manitoba received close to normal precipitation, parts of the Interlake, southwest and northwest were hammered with up to 68 per cent more rainfall than normal. Parts of the southwest and areas along the Assiniboine River were flooded from a downpour of over six inches. The fact that most Manitoba crops yielded above average is good news given what farmers faced, but averages can be misleading. They don't include the zero bushels per acre on unseeded land, masking the impact on farmers who reaped lower yields due to bad weather. The 2014 results came after the bumper year in 2013, with record yields in all major crops except canola, which tied the 2009 record. Continued on page 10

Red spring wheat

Manitoba’s red spring wheat averaged 50 bushels an acre in 2014, down 18 per cent from the 2013 record of 61, but above the 10-year average of 48. (Figures are based on 99.9 per cent of farmers’ crop insurance production reports entered into the database at the time of writing. Online Management Plus figures could differ slightly.) The Rural Municipality of Roland, in the western part of the Red River Valley, had the highest average red spring wheat yield at 69 bushels on 20,418 acres. The lowest yield, 18, was in the RM of West St. Paul, north of Winnipeg, but that was on just 1,356 acres. Average yields based on a small number of acres are not necessarily representative. The highest-yielding red spring variety in any municipality was Cardale at 78 bushels an acre in the RM of Roland. However, it was based on just 6,075 acres. “We were hearing coffee shop talk of 80-bushel yields and I guess they were true,” said Pam de Rocquigny, MAFRD’s cereal specialist in Carman. The highest-averaging red spring wheat variety provincewide was ACC Brandon at 66 bushels from 1,496 acres. Surprisingly, red spring wheat yields in some of the wettest areas of Manitoba, including in the southwest, weren’t as bad as might have been expected, averaging 44 bushels an acre in the RM of Brenda (Waskada area). In nearby Arthur (Melita area) and Glenwood (Souris area) red spring wheat averaged 42 and 46 bushels an acre, respectively. “I think with the red spring wheat that did get planted (in the southwest) was probably planted on good, dry ground so it had the potential so long as it got the rains at the right time and it dried up good,” said Lionel Kaskiw, an MAFRD farm production adviser in Souris. “I think once we got past a certain date everyone just switched over to canola for several reasons. Coverage is probably better with canola and you can broadcast seed it.” Kaskiw’s suspicion that wheat plantings declined proportionately more than canola in wet municipalities in 2014 are borne out by Management Plus data. In the RM of Pipestone (Reston area) red spring wheat acres fell 74 per cent to 15,130, while canola plantings dropped 59 per cent to 21,022. The difference was even more dramatic in the RM of Brenda. Wheat acres fell 32 per cent to 36,314, while canola plantings dropped nine per cent to 45,165. Red spring wheat yields weren’t as good in all the wet municipalities. For example, in the RM of Ochre River, northeast of Riding Mountain National Park, wheat averaged 29 bushels an acre. And while the RMs of Arthur and Brenda averaged 40-plus bushels an acre on red spring wheat, Arthur recorded the lowest average provincial flax yield at 13 bushels an acre and Brenda had the lowest average yield for winter wheat and non-oil sunflowers at 11 bushels and 925 pounds an acre, respectively.

Other wheats

Winter wheat did poorly across Manitoba averaging 53 bushels an acre — down 21 per cent from 2013 and 19 per cent lower than the 10-year average of 65. MAFRD’s de Rocquigny suspects a cold snap last April damaged the crop. 12

yield manitoba

2015

The wet, cool spring didn’t help either. The winter wheat that survived didn’t grow very quickly at first, delaying maturity making it more vulnerable to fusarium head blight at flowering time. “Fusarium definitely had an impact on the yield potential, not just the quality,” she said. Fortunately, red spring wheat wasn’t as hard hit by the fungal disease. That’s probably because it flowered a bit later and the weather conditions then weren’t as good for the disease. Red spring wheat varieties are also more fusarium tolerant than winter wheats, de Rocquigny said. Feed wheat fared better than winter wheat in 2014, averaging an amazing 72 bushels an acre province-wide — 28 per cent higher than the 10-year average. But historical comparisons are misleading given how the category has changed in the last few years, de Rocquigny said. It’s now dominated by two spring wheats — Pasteur, a Canada Western General Purpose (CWGP) wheat and Faller, an unregistered American Dark Northern Spring wheat grown under identity-preserved contracts. “New varieties in cereal crops are changing our long-term average faster than is happening with canola,” Kaskiw said. “We had the canola (yield) surge three or four years ago when it took us from that low 30s (bushels an acre) to the mid-30s to 40s range.” It has taken farmers a couple of years to learn how to grow higher-yielding varieties, he added. “Now we are putting on the extra fertilizer and doing the fungicide treatments that are required to get those extra yields and it's working,” Kaskiw said.

Grain corn

Corn needs heat to mature and yield. A slow start in spring didn't bode well. A lot of corn didn’t get planted until midMay and in some areas frost threatened by early September, de Rocquigny said. And yet Manitoba's corn averaged 115 bushels an acre. While that’s down from 2013’s record 133, it’s 16 per cent higher than the 10-year average of 99. “That was the one yield that surprised me the most,”de Rocquigny said. “I was guessing maybe 105. When I saw 115 I was surprised. I think it was higher than a lot of corn producers expected too.” The RM of Macdonald (Brunkild area) scored the highest average yield at 136 bushels an acre. While the municipality is in the heart of the Red River Valley, it’s just a little north and east of the traditional core corn-growing areas where soils are sandier. Macdonald generally has heavier clay soils once thought not to be ideal for corn production. The RM of Whitehead, west of Brandon, had the lowest average corn yield at 46 bushels an acre. The highest-averaging corn yield by variety in a municipality was Pioneer P7632HR in the RM of Montcalm, but on only 1,128 acres. Pioneer 39V07 had the highest average yield provincewide at 133 bushels an acre based on 11,220 acres.

Soybeans

2014 was a good year for soybeans in Manitoba too, which across 1.3 million acres averaged 34 bushels an acre. While that’s down 12 per cent from 2013’s 39-bushel-an-acre record, it’s 17 per cent better than the 10-year average of 29. “It’s generally what we expected — less than last year and closer to the year before,” said Dennis Lange, MAFRD’s


farm production adviser in Altona. “It’s still pretty respectable. Anything over 30 is a good place to be for soybeans.” According to Lange’s calculations the core soybean-growing area located east of the line going north-south from the RM of Stanley (Morden area) to Portage la Prairie averaged 34 bushels an acre, while the rest of the province averaged 32. Soybeans have a reputation for tolerating wet conditions better than many other crops and the southwest saw that in 2014, Kaskiw said. “They did well,” he said. “I was at a producer’s place yesterday and he said, ‘I really have a hard time figuring out why we’re still growing canola.’” In the wet municipalities of Arthur and Brenda soybeans averaged 38 and 29 bushels an acre, respectively. That was higher than the provincial average and above the yields recorded in traditional soybean municipalities such as Dufferin, Grey and Macdonald where soybeans average 37, 32 and 35 bushels an acre, respectively. However, those latter averages were based on acreages of 54,471, 44,33 and 78,599, respectively. There were only 4,200 and 9,700 acres of soybeans in Arthur and Brenda, respectively. Kaskiw expects farmers in southwestern Manitoba will increase soybean plantings in 2015. “Basically I can see the same thing happening this year as happened last year — the acres will reflect how much seed we have,” he said. “If we run out of seed we’ll run out of acres probably.” Lange predicts Manitoba farmers will plant 1.5 million acres of soybeans this spring.

Canola

It was a relatively good year for canola, said Anastasia Kubinec, MAFRD’s oilseed specialist in Carman. Yields province-wide averaged 37 bushels an acre — down 14 per cent from 2013’s record 43, but 10 per cent above the 10-year average of 34. The highest and lowest average yields were in the RMs of Dufferin (Carman area) and Grahamdale (Moosehorn area) at 50 and 10 bushels an acre, respectively. The highest-yielding variety in a municipality was Invigor L140 P, which averaged 60 bushels on 523 acres in the RM of Stanley. The highest-yielding variety province-wide was Invigor Health, at 45 bushels based on 2,026 acres. The most planted canola — Invigor L130 seeded on almost 431,000 or 25 per cent of Manitoba's canola acres — yielded an average of 38 bushels an acre. The weather co-operated for the most part, excluding the areas that were too wet, Kubinec said. Canola yields were also better than one might expect in some of the wetter areas, although again, averages don’t account for the lack of yield on unseeded acres. Canola averaged 31, 32, 33 and 29 bushels an acre in the RMs of Arthur, Brenda, Glenwood and Pipestone — a decline of 20 to 27 per cent from 2013, but not far off the provincial 10-year average. Although disappointing to growers, those yields seem all the more impressive given many canola crops were broadcast seeded late in the spring and some were swathed prematurely to avoid frost damage, probably resulting in some green kernels shrinking and going out the combine and not into the hopper. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Crunching the numbers proves it — the experienced growers (almost always) get better yields

Experience —

Does it count for anything? by Doug Wilcox, MASC

W

e live in a world where vision and youth are often valued more than experience, and this is the case even in agriculture. It doesn’t help that the nature of crop production is such that most experienced producers can relate to the joke, “He has 30 years of farming experience — one year of experience 30 times over.” So does experience really count for anything?

The experience trap

New producers of a crop may be as knowledgeable, or even more knowledgeable, than experienced producers in the most recent aspects of a crop’s production. However, when problems occur, experienced producers will likely know better what it takes to adapt and are less likely to get “rattled,” leading to better production decisions. This insight from experience should in turn result in better outcomes for experienced growers. However, experience can also become a trap, entered when experienced producers constrain themselves either by assuming that history will always repeat itself or by becoming complacent and assuming that they already know it all. As the quote goes “experience without good judgment is worthless; good judgment without experience is still good judgment!” If a producer avoids these experience traps, the improved insight that comes from experience, combined with good judgment, should amount to something. Manitoba producers have likely fallen prey to experience traps in the past. I remember when dry edible bean acreage started expanding in the early 1990s. The comment from some longtime producers then was that “the new guys are dragging down the provincial yields,” and that “crop insurance should do something about that.” Some producers suggested that crop insurance should limit coverage to experienced dry edible bean growers only. However, when crop insurance compared yields, it was determined that the new producers were obtaining yields that matched or exceeded those by experienced growers. The reason for this wasn’t specifically determined, but one reasonable hypothesis was that new producers, being new, “paid more attention” to the bean crop management, compared to the more “fast and loose” experienced 14

producers. Experience can sometimes cause complacency and this was likely the case with dry edible bean growers in the early 1990s.

New versus old soybean growers

Over the last 17 years, soybean acreage has expanded a hundredfold in Manitoba. In 1998 crop insurance covered 12,000 acres of soybeans and it has steadily increased since then, with over 1.2 million acres of soybeans insured in 2014. The steadily increasing numbers of soybean producers provides an opportunity to answer the question, “Do new soybean producers produce as well as experienced producers?” and if not, to quantify the value of experience. To obtain answers, I used Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC) data to compare yields of less-experienced producers relative to experienced producers for three study years: 2002, 2007 and 2012. If producers grew the crop in the study year (but not in any of the previous five years) they were classified for the purposes of this study as inexperienced growers (NEW). In contrast, if they grew the crop in one or more of the previous five years, they were considered experienced growers (EXP). To minimize the potential for separation of experience level by region, the data was also analyzed by risk area, comparing only NEW and EXP producers within the same risk areas. A minimum of three producers was required to use a data point in any comparisons. In addition, for comparison purposes, I completed a similar analysis on Argentine canola and grain corn producers.

Experience in the field

At the provincial level, it appears that for the three years studied (2002, 2007 and 2012) on average five per cent of canola producers would be considered inexperienced. For the other two smaller-acreage more-specialized crops (grain corn and soybeans) the percentages of inexperienced growers were higher, and varied significantly by year. For grain corn and soybeans the inexperienced growers in 2012 were 11 per cent and 13 per cent of all producers, respectively; in 2007, seven per cent and six per cent of all producers, respectively; and in 2002, Continued on page 16

Continued from page 14 17 per cent and 54 per cent of all producers, respectively (Table 1). These results are not unexpected as grain corn acreages can fluctuate widely from year to year and soybean was still a relatively new crop in 2002 but is now widely grown. Table 1.

At the provincial level, it was observed that for the three years studied (2002, 2007 and 2012) the NEW producers yielded 97 per cent, 93 per cent and 87 per cent of EXP producers for canola, grain corn and soybeans respectively (Table 2). Although not measured statistically, the lowerthan-average yields for canola (97 per cent) may not be very significant, but is likely that the 93 per cent for grain corn and 87 per cent for soybeans are. The observation that NEW growers of grain corn and soybeans do not produce as well as EXP growers is not unexpected, as these crops are considered special crops for a reason. Successful production of grain corn and soybeans can require more specialized knowledge, skill and competence than for canola production, and experienced producers should have these. Table 2.

The results were less consistent by risk area. For soybeans, there were six risk areas which had adequate NEW versus EXP data for all three years. If you are unfamiliar with MASC risk areas a map is available on page 30. Over the three years studied (2002, 2007 and 2012), NEW soybean producers yielded 84 per cent, 96 per cent, 89 per cent, 94 per cent, 85 per cent and 77 per cent of EXP soybean producers in risk areas 5, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15, respectively (Table 3). These results indicate that recent soybean production experience was most useful in risk area 15, and least relevant in risk areas 10 and 12. The smallest relative average yield percentage for NEW soybean producers was 64 per cent in risk area 11 in 2007. 16

Regardless of the year or risk area, in most instances (86 per cent), the soybean relative average yields of EXP producers were greater than the yields of NEW producers. Also interesting is that in each year there was one risk area where NEW soybean producers had higher relative average yields compared to EXP producers — as high as 109 per cent. In most years throughout the province higher soybean yields were obtained by producers having recent production experience with soybeans.

Although the data is not presented in this article, similar variation in results by risk area was also observed for Argentine canola and grain corn. In most years throughout the province, there were higher yields for producers that had recent production experience with canola and grain corn, compared to those without recent experience. In the case of NEW canola producers, the relative average yields by risk area ranged from 66 per cent to 107 per cent of EXP canola producers, with the majority of observed NEW relative average yields (70 per cent) being below 100 per cent. It is interesting to note that, of the three crops studied, it was only for canola in risk area 5 that the NEW relative average yields were all above 100 per cent for three years studied (averaging 104 per cent). This suggests that having recent production experience appears not to have been a yield asset for canola growers in risk area 5, whereas in the rest of the province recent canola production experience was a yield asset in most years. In the case of NEW grain corn producers, the relative average yields by risk area ranged from 78 per cent to 118 per cent of EXP producers, with the majority of observed NEW relative average yields (70 per cent) being below 100 per cent. On average, in most years, having previous recent production experience appears to be an asset for grain corn producers throughout the province.

It wasn’t their first rodeo

The management practices resulting in these yield gains were not identified in this study. However, these findings suggest that producers with recent previous production experience will often achieve higher yields, regardless of the region or crop. For soybeans, grain corn, and canola, experienced producers achieved average yields 13 per cent, seven per cent and three per cent more than inexperienced producers, respectively. So from a yield perspective, the “value of experience” in these crops in these years averaged three to 13 per cent. It is often assumed to be “common sense” that there is value to experience. These results demonstrate that the value of producer experience is real and can be quantified by yield gains. Experience counts!

A study shows which measurement of maturity is the best to use when choosing a soybean variety

Soybean maturity:

it’s complicated

b y K r i s t e n Po d o l s k y, p r o d u c t i o n s p e c i a l i s t , M a n i t o b a P u l s e G r o w e r s A s s o c i a t i o n

hotoperiod, day length, sensitivity, heat units, maturity grouping — these are today’s buzzwords surrounding the process of how soybeans reach maturity. In this article I will describe the factors involved, attempt to establish consensus among industry and convince you that all we really need is calendar days.

The role of photoperiod Several factors affect the rate at which crops develop — heat, moisture, fertility and photoperiod. Photoperiod is the length of time that organisms receive sunlight, or in other words, day length (these terms are often used interchangeably). Soybeans are considered short-day plants, meaning that physiological development is accelerated by short days. This is important for soybean adaptation in northern

growing regions where photoperiod increases with latitude, potentially delaying maturity. For example, within Manitoba, latitude increases 2° from Morden to Roblin. As a result, photoperiod/day length is longer in Roblin compared to Morden during midsummer. The longer days can delay maturity of soybean and increase risk in northern regions with fewer frost-free days. Thus, soybeans face two challenges as they move north — less heat and longer days. This is in contrast to wheat and canola, both long-day plants, where moving north to less heat is generally offset by the speeding effect of long days. To encompass the influence of photoperiod, the term “maturity groupings,” also known as “relative maturity” is used in North America to group soybean varieties within certain latitudes. Each grouping defines soybean cultivars that are adapted to the photoperiod within a range of latitude across an east-west belt. Maturity groups range from 000 in northern growing regions of Canada to VIII in the southeastern U.S. This classification system is new to Manitoba, and we began to include it in variety trial data starting in 2014.

CHUs — fine for corn, but… When we first began growing soybeans in Manitoba, corn heat units (CHUs), also referred to as “crop” and “company” heat units, were used to

Heat units are not the only factor which influences soybean maturity.

describe their adaptability. The CHU system is based solely on the daily accumulation of heat throughout the growing season, with no influence of photoperiod. This works well for corn, which is day neutral (not affected by photoperiod), but due to the influence of photoperiod on soybean development, the use of the CHU system to describe soybean adaptation has potential flaws. With funding from Manitoba Pulse Growers Association, a research study was undertaken by Aaron Glenn (AAFC Brandon) from 2011-13 investigating three soybean varieties, each with different maturity groupings and CHU ratings, at multiple sites throughout the province. One objective of the study was to relate CHUs, calendar days and photoperiod to soybean developmental stages. A major finding was that the early soybean variety, with a low CHU rating (2325 CHU), was able to mature and yield well at Roblin despite only accumulating 85 per cent of the required heat units. Observations of soybean varieties reaching maturity earlier than predicted by CHUs have previously been made by farmers and agronomists. Roblin is a high-latitude site with longer days, which would normally delay maturity (recall that soybean maturity normally progresses with short days); so why did the variety perform so well? Developments over the past 30 to 40 years have identified soybeans that are “photoperiod insensitive,” meaning that soybean maturity is not delayed by short days. We believe that this understanding has been vital to the expansion and success of soybeans into Manitoba.

Significant research is underway to fully understand the genetic basis for photoperiod sensitivity (or insensitivity) in soybeans. The ability to optimize the photoperiod response of soybean cultivars to particular environments will be vital to enabling further increases in productivity.

Varieties differ in response

Another major finding is that days to maturity for the two earlier varieties was similar at Morden and Roblin, while as expected, the third variety reached developmental stages earlier at Morden (warmer) compared to Roblin. These results demonstrate that current varieties differ in the way they reach maturity (likely due to varying photoperiod sensitivity). The inconsistent relationship between CHUs, yield and maturity supports the move away from classifying soybean varieties solely by company heat units, to including maturity grouping. In Manitoba, maturity groupings are primarily within the 00 area, with subgroups from 00.1 to 00.9, with each 0.1 equating to about one day’s difference in maturity. Maturity groupings appear more accurate compared to CHUs but are not the complete solution yet. For example, in the Roundup Ready soybean table of Seed Manitoba, several varieties have the same maturity grouping (00.7) but their relative days to maturity ranges from -4 to +6 days compared to the check variety.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.


Continued from previous page It takes several years of study to accurately determine maturity groupings for particular varieties, which is why it’s important to focus on calendar days when evaluating soybeans regionally.

The bottom line — it’s calendar days

on relative days to maturity averaged across multiple locations in eastern and western Manitoba. The first step is to identify which zone you are in (long, mid, short) then choose a variety within the zone based on yield and other attributes (iron chlorosis rating, plant architecture, etc.). Yield performance of soybean varieties among zones varies by an average 10 to 20 per cent, so variety selection is critical to optimizing farm profitability. The soybean industry has made remarkable strides over the past few years in bringing high-yielding, short-season varieties adapted to Manitoba. Further collaboration and transparency from breeding groups on varietal response to photoperiod and CHUs will be key to achieving further gains in productivity.

After this (complex) explanation of soybean maturity, the bottom line is that it comes down to calendar days. Heat and photoperiod are the two primary factors influencing soybean maturity, but we still don’t fully understand the relative importance of these factors for all varieties in Manitoba. Both factors are reflected in the actual days to maturity as seen in Seed Manitoba. If varieties are well suited to a region A major finding was that the early soybean variety, with based on heat units, photoperiod and/ or moisture, it will be reflected posia low CHU rating (2325 CHU), was able to mature and tively in days to maturity and yield. As growers and agronomists, we don’t yield well at Roblin despite only accumulating 85 per cent need to concern ourselves with the complexities of heat units and maturity of the required heat units. groupings.

When one of the world’s worst grain storage pests tried to hitchhike into Australia in 2007, the industry was ready. How ready is Canada?

Stopping pests at the gate by Laura Rance, Manitoba Co-operator editor

A

family who had recently immigrated to Western Australia from the United Kingdom in 2007 was disturbed to find their belongings infested with a strange-looking beetle when the container arrived after a six-week voyage. They called in a pest control expert who identified the khapra beetle, a pest that if allowed to proliferate could not only cause significant damage to grain quality, but which could cause major export markets to slam shut their borders. The Australian grain sector activated its Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed (EPPRD), a legally binding, sector-specific, pest-specific contingency plan it had only just formalized in 2005. “It was the first time it was triggered for the grains industry,” said Rohan Rainbow, who until recently was senior manager of plant health for the Grain Research and Development Corporation in Australia. The family was moved out of their home and into a hotel for six weeks. The entire house was shrink wrapped and then fumigated extensively to contain the threat and eliminate it.

Cost sharing and compensation

The eradication effort was paid for through a cost-sharing agreement between the state and federal government and executed under the auspices of Plant Health Australia, a joint industry and government organization established in 2000 to keep farmers in Australia one step ahead of invasive insects, weeds and disease. Rainbow, the keynote speaker at the Manitoba Agronomists Conference last December, said Australia’s agriculture sector decided to become more proactive about pest control after a federal report in 1996 identified biosecurity — or rather lack of it — as a major threat to the country’s agriculture industry. The so-called Nairn report recommended forming a national biosecurity co-ordinating body paid for by 22

2015

federal and state governments. Its recommendations also identified the need to compensate farmers whose crops are destroyed in the name of containment. “That’s a very important part of this whole process,” said Rainbow, noting producers need assurances they won’t be put out of business if they report a new pest in their fields. “Without that foundation, there is essentially a reluctance to report anything.” While Australia’s isolated geography provides it with certain advantages on the biosecurity front, its climate provides a ready habitat for any invasive species.

Fluffy jackets are spore traps

Rainbow said the industry has done extensive research on how invasive species travel. Nuffield scholars travelling to Australia were recently asked to use forensic tape to test their own clothing and shoes for disease spores before entering the country. The results were unnerving. “The amount of spores and exotic pathogens that were actually coming in through those pathways were enormous,” he said. “We also looked at the type of fabric they wore, and particularly the very fluffy jackets are really bad for spore traps.” In short, his advice for world travellers is to avoid wearing home the clothes, The Khapra beetle is shoes and hats they wear in one of the world’s most foreign fields. “It’s impordestructive pests of grain tant to understand that products and seeds.  there are some real risks,” photo: USDA he said.


Australia’s Rohan Rainbow says it’s important for farmers to know they won’t be put out of business if they report a new pest.  photo: Shannon vanraes New priority Crop protection strategies have traditionally been viewed as a triangle of genetic protection, cultural practices and pesticides. The Australian approach inserts biosecurity as the first line of defence. “If you can actually reduce the impact of any new pest, weed and disease, through early management and intervention, that’s got to be a far more cost-effective way for industry to deal with it,” Rainbow said. While pesticides are a short-term treatment, they can be costly and may not return productivity to pre-pest levels. Farm management practices can help prevent new pests from becoming established and spreading. So the grains sector has identified the top 35 pests most likely to invade, such as the khapra beetle, and developed contingency plans that can be pulled off the shelf when they arrive. “That’s a really important part of the whole exercise. There’s nothing worse in a crisis that everyone standing around looking at each other saying, ‘What are we going to do now?’” he said. Understanding the potential impacts for agronomics and trade are an important part of that process. Those plans also include training for the grains industry, surveillance plans, containment and possible pesticide responses. It also requires being proactive about getting pesticide registration approvals and labelling in place, a provision that was only added to the plan within the past year. “You want to be able to use the chemical product tomorrow, not in six months to deal with these things,” Rainbow said.

Advance screening In Australia, research dollars are already being invested to do advance screening for genetic resistance in a bid to cut down the amount of time it would take to get resistance into the hands of commercial growers. “We are encouraging growers to think more about how people, equipment and livestock come onto their farm,” Rainbow said. A growing number of growers are even posting their property to encourage contractors and other visitors to practise biosecurity.

Plant Health Australia has set a goal of convincing 50 per cent of growers to develop a biosecurity plan for their farms within the next four years. Grower behaviour is critical to the success of the program, he noted. Not only are producers on the front lines of dealing with invasive species, they have the most to lose if they are allowed to gain a toehold. “At the end of the day we need to reduce business risk. In fact, I used to say… our role is to help farmers sleep better at night,” Rainbow said. Crop biosecurity is increasingly creeping into the vocabulary around crop management in Canada too, particularly with the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds and emergence of diseases such as clubroot and most recently verticillium wilt as commercial threats. But Canada’s biosecurity efforts fall far short of the joint government and industry response in Australia and tend to be more reactive than proactive.

Put it on paper “I think that Australia is more advanced than Canada in regards to biosecurity,” said Anastasia Kubinec, an oilseed crop specialist with Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Development. Reporting of pests here is voluntary and while the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has the authority to quarantine an infested site or facility, there are no provisions for compensation if a farmer’s crop must be destroyed. While most Manitoba farmers are incorporating biosecurity considerations into their management, few have taken the step of creating a biosecurity plan, Kubinec said. “To turn their current good pest management practices into a biosecurity plan they should be putting their procedures down on paper and then critically assessing them as to new or increased risks from pest introduction and movement and pinpoint how specifically entry could occur and from where,” Kubinec said. She said farmers could be unwittingly exposing themselves and their neighbours to new pests. “An example is buying a new flex header for soybeans in Nebraska for a steal of a deal and bringing it home and using it without cleaning it,” she said. “Nebraska has soybean cyst nematode, which is a soil-borne pest. Not cleaning the header could mean the introduction of that Nebraska soil and the nematode without knowing it.” In 2011, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, federal Agriculture Department officials, and the Canada Grains Council established a Grains and Oilseeds Biosecurity Advisory Group to guide development of voluntary biosecurity on-farm protocols for the grains and oilseeds industry. That document identifies key risks and issues and provides producers with a guide to becoming proactive about biosecurity on their farms. The National Voluntary FarmLevel Biosecurity Standard can be found on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website. Producers can also find more information by contacting a Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development Crops Knowledge Centre. laura@fbcpublishing.com 2015

easonal weather variability continues to be a common story for Manitoba producers. In 2012, temperatures in March reached the mid-teens and in most regions, producers were looking at snow-free fields. In 2013, more than a half-metre of snow with lows in the -20 C range occurred in April. However, by mid-May, the air temperature remained above 0 C and fields were snow free with sufficient soil moisture for seeding in most regions of the province. The 2013-14 winter was extremely cold with significant precipitation. In 2014, cold temperatures continued into April which resulted in a heavy snowpack throughout southern Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan and resulted in a gradual thaw until early May. Following the thaw, southeast Saskatchewan along with southwestern, northwestern and Parkland regions of Manitoba received successive rainfall events with precipitation between 150 and 200 per cent of normal. Spring flooding and cold temperatures across Manitoba significantly delayed seeding. Unfortunately, close to one million acres were unseeded due to the poor spring conditions. Pasture and forage regrowth was also delayed in the spring and winter wheat was slow to break dormancy. About 37 per cent of the winter wheat acres were terminated due to poor stand establishment.

Summer floods

Significant precipitation across Manitoba from June 23 to June 29 resulted in two separate but related events in Manitoba: flooding in rivers throughout the Lake Winnipeg Watershed and prolonged excess moisture in southwest Manitoba. Growing conditions improved in mid-July with varying insect, disease and weed pressure. 24

yield manitoba

2015

An additional 111 mm of precipitation occurred between Reston and Melita from August 18 to 24. The continued precipitation caused varying harvest delays and lower crop quality. The maturity of grain corn, sunflowers and soybeans became a significant concern in mid-September given the lack of accumulated growing degree days and accumulated corn heat units during the growing season. Frosts came from Sept. 12 onward but had minimal impact of crop development, yield and quality. Despite the challenges of the growing season, yield for most crop types were above 10-year provincial averages.

Soil moisture

During the last week of October and first week of November 2014, a soil moisture survey was conducted across agro-Manitoba. The amount of moisture within the root zone just prior to freeze-up provides a good indication of what can be expected in the spring. With snow cover and freezing temperatures, soil moisture content remains relatively stable throughout the winter. For the most part, there is good soil moisture going into the spring; however, many areas are fully saturated which could result in difficulties with spring seeding. Snowfall, the rate of snowmelt, spring precipitation, air and soil temperatures will refine the timing of spring seeding. The accompanying maps show the seasonal summary for precipitation, corn heat units and growing degree days.

VALTERA™ HAS SHOWN TO BOOST YIELD BY UP TO 6.7 BUSHELS/ACRE.* Eliminating early weed pressure is the secret to high yielding soybeans. Adding Valtera herbicide to your burndown will give IP and Roundup Ready ® soybeans a huge leg up.

Valtera is a Group 14 residual pre-emergent product that remains in the soil to provide safe, extended (4 to 6 week) control of tough broadleaf weeds. And Valtera will boost your resistance management program by controlling glyphosate-resistant weeds.

Today’s smart choice for preventing weed resistance. herbicides with diferent modes of action

THE END OF THE LINE FOR BROADLEAF WEEDS. When tough broadleaf weeds invade your cereal crops, it’s no time for half-measures. You need action now.

Powered by Solumax® soluble granules, Barricade® II also delivers one-hour rainfastness and easier, more consistent sprayer cleanout. It’s no wonder growers made it Western Canada’s premier broadleaf herbicide for cereals.

INOCULANTS MAY SEEM EQUAL NOW. IT’S A DIFFERENT STORY AT HARVEST TIME.

There’s a reason growers insist on it – Nodulator® N/T is the only inoculant in the market that’s Biostacked®. Unlike other offerings, a Biostacked inoculant delivers multiple beneficial biologicals to enhance the performance of soybeans. Nodulator N/T helps increase root biomass, create more nodules and improve nitrogen fixation. Of course at the end of the day, all you have to know is what it does for your bottom line. Nodulator N/T out-yields non-Biostacked inoculants by 4-6%. So why settle for less? Visit agsolutions.ca or contact AgSolutions® Customer Care at 1-877-371-BASF (2273) for more information.

“Yield with Value”

These are high yielding US wheat varieties with slightly lower protein. This extra yield with no current protein premiums available have made FALLER & PROSPER work very well for US farmers. FALLER & PROSPER are unregistered and prior to registration, certified seed can only be sold for I.P. contracts (Seeddepot.ca). Once registered, we anticipate partnering with our dealers to make FALLER and PROSPER more available to you. Until then, thank you for your patience with us.

TOUGH WEEDS, MEET EXPRESS . ®

Crank up the rate all you want, glyphosate alone still misses a number of hard-to-kill weeds like narrow-leaved hawk’s-beard, fixweed, stinkweed, dandelion and volunteer canola. With hotter-than-hot systemic activity, DuPont™ Express® herbicides don’t just control weeds, they smoke them from the inside out, getting right to the root of your toughest weed challenges with performance that glyphosate alone can’t match. It’s no wonder Express® goes down with glyphosate more than any other brand in Western Canada! Visit expressvideo.dupont.ca to see Express® in action – torching tough weeds like dandelion and volunteer canola right down to the roots, so they can’t grow back.

Express® brand herbicides. Tis is going to be hot. Questions? Ask your retailer, call 1-800-667-3925 or visit express.dupont.ca
