Manitoba hail damage claims skyrocket Last year was bad; this year could be worse BY ERIN DEBOOY Commodity News Service Canada

he massive storms that have steamrolled through parts of Manitoba are causing significantly higher-than-average hail damage claims, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association. The association’s hail report last Thursday said the ratio of claims to policies has soared due to storms on July 4, July 10 and July 16, which affected large areas in south-central and southwest Manitoba. After the most recent cloudburst on July 20, David Koroscil of the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation said the number of claims they’ve received so far has already surpassed the annual average. “We’ve received 2,200 claims so far this year to date. The average is 2,100 for the entire year,” Koroscil said. Claims were still rolling in from the last couple of days and more were expected in the weeks ahead, Koroscil said July 21. “Everyone’s seen the most severe, extensive storm this year because of the size of the hailstones — the one that went through Holland, Treherne, Notre Dame, Somerset and the See HAIL on page 6 »

any of Manitoba’s hog barns are surrounded by soybean fields, but the soymeal inside them may have come from hundreds of miles away in the U.S. That prompted Keystone Agricultural Producers members at their recent summer advisory meeting here to support the Brandon Chamber of Commerce’s efforts to encourage industry to con-

struct a soybean-processing plant in the region. “I advocate for any value adding that we can add to the province. I think that it is good for farmers and if there is the opportunity with the Brandon Chamber of Commerce to advocate on behalf of this, I think we should (support the resolution),” said Dustin Williams, a Souris-area producer who moved the resolution. “With the expanding soybean acres in Manitoba and probably into Saskatchewan here shortly, I think Brandon

is a good region for this and I think that it is fitting that we are here today in Brandon to pass this resolution,” said seconder Simon Ellis, who farms just north of Wawanesa. The Brandon Chamber of Commerce had been advocating to attract the development of a processing facility two years ago. “I think the resolution that was adopted at the KAP meeting was based on a project that was undertaken a few years ago. There hasn’t been a lot of activity

on it at this point,” said Terry Burgess, Brandon Chamber of Commerce president. However, Burgess says they are happy to see any commitment by KAP to support growth in the region. “The desire to encourage agribusiness in WestMan and in Brandon is truly appreciated. I think collectively if we can put our heads together and work together, perhaps we can make a difference on some of these larger projects,” Burgess said. See SOYBEANS on page 6 »

Wheat and barley were already grown 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, a sickle-shaped region stretching from present-day Iraq and Iran through Turkey and Syria into Lebanon, Jordan and Israel. “It was from there that grain farming originated and later spread to Europe, Asia and North Africa,” Tzion Fahima of the University of Haifa said in a release. The barley was among tens of thousands of other plant remains found in the cave. Fahima and other researchers compared the genome with that of wild barley still found in the region, and found considerable differences. “However, they show considerable genetic overlap

as well as the agricultural methods, have changed over this long period of time,” Martin Mascher of the Leibniz Institute said in the release. The researchers said they assume that conquerors and immigrants coming to the region did not bring their own crop seeds from their former homelands, but continued cultivating the locally adapted extant landraces.

Rural Development Institute seeks input from businesses

Brandon University’s Rural Development Institute hopes to gather input from food processors in rural Manitoba to make more innovation possible tions that could be made between processor and service provider.” The online survey is anonymous, consists of three parts and should take 15 to 30 minutes to complete. A URL has been created to allow surveys to be completed on any smartphone or mobile device. The RDI will be collecting the online surveys until the end of July.

s a rural-based business, what challenges do you face in accessing resources? That’s the question Brandon’s Rural Development Institute (RDI) is seeking an answer for. “We are essentially looking at the problems that companies in rural Manitoba see, the barriers that they have faced and suggestions in ways they can overcome those,” said Gillian Richards, research associate with the RDI, at Brandon University. “We will also be working to identify the resources that are currently available.” Last September, the RDI set out on a two-year applied research project to identify and address barriers that affect food processors in rural Manitoba, in hopes of pinpointing tools that could strengthen rural entrepreneurship. RDI’s project has been funded through the federal and provincial Growing Forward 2 initiative and looks to create new knowledge that will make innovation easier for rural residents. “We are trying to find out what these barriers might be so that we have a better idea of how we might be able to improve them,” Richards said. For this study, the RDI has focused on southwestern Manitoba, as residents in this region are often confronted with greater challenges in terms of accessing funding and resources, compared to those located closer to large city centres.

Online participation Over the course of the project, researchers will be reviewing existing literature, contacting innovation centres and organizers that support innovators and conducting in-depth interviews with key industry players.

Community consultations

As part of the information-gathering process, RDI has also set up an online survey and is looking for all businesses in southwestern Manitoba to provide insight into the challenges they have faced in growing and expanding. “We are interested in hearing from anyone who is vaguely involved in food processing in southwestern Manitoba,” Richards said. “We will talk with the big players, all the way down the chain, including those who may be selling at farmers’ markets. They might not think they are food processing, but on a small scale, that is food processing.” The RDI is not only looking for input from food processors, but all businesses and producers from rural areas across

southwestern Manitoba in order to better understand the obstacles these businesses face when looking to access support services. “Any producers who are interested in this, even if they are not involved in food processing, we want to hear from them in terms of what kind of support they have and what they feel the local business culture is like,” Richards said. Researchers are also seeking feedback from anyone who delivers or provides support services to those involved in food processing. “That would be GO centres, economic development officers, banks, accountants, and municipal councils. I would imagine in this step we will find connec-

Along with the online survey, RDI has targeted 12 communities in the southwestern corner of the province in order to speak with community members in person. “In southwest Manitoba we have chosen 12 communities, that are varied in size and geography, to hold public consultations,” Richards said. Richards explains that the Southwest Regional Development Corp. (SRDC), a project partner, has broken southwest Manitoba into four quarters. “We have selected three communities in each of those quarters and deliberately went with different-size communities that offer different levels of service to get a well-rounded idea of the services that are currently out there.” The study will conclude in September and the RDI will generate a variety of research products that will include a comprehensive package of strategies, tools and support programs. The overarching goal of the project is to assist in enhancing exporting and manufacturing opportunities in the province and facilitate entrepreneurship efforts in rural areas.

Trade key focus of agriculture policy framework Manitoba’s agriculture policy priorities meld well with those of other provinces and the federal government BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

s federal-provincialterr itor ial meetings wrap up in Calgary, Manitoba’s agriculture minister says discussions touched o n a l l a re a s o f c o n c e r n regarding the development of Canada’s next agricultural policy framework, which will launch in 2018. “We want public trust of course, research and development, we want to increase trade, we want to ensure that if we get this great crop off that we get it out in a timely manner,” said Ralph Eichler during a conference call on Monday morning. “And of course, as we go forward as a government, we continue to want to consult with our stakeholders to ensure that industry is well served, whether it be trade agreements, regulations, sustainable development, and of course reducing red tape. Those are very aggressive agenda items for us.”

However, the meetings did not set a dollar figure for Growing Forward 3, although Eichler and others have pushed for a greater level of investment. “We’re hoping once the federal minister gets back into session and meets with his colleagues he can take that message loud and clear to the federal government that we need to know the dollar amount as we move forward,” he said, stressing that provinces must know what kind of funding they will be working with to effectively plan for the future. The current agricultural policy framework — Growing Forward 2 — established a $3-billion investment over five years via a 60/40 funding model. It is expected the next framework will also see the federal government fund 60 per cent of approved projects, with provinces and territories investing the remaining 40 per cent. Eichler said that business risk management was also discussed at length during the meetings and will continue to

“It’s about being open, about being transparent, sharing information and making sure we get the good news out there too.” Ralph Eichler

be a key pillar within the next policy framework. However, promoting the development of private sector risk management tools was also put forward as a policy priority. Enhanced trade and increased market access garnered much discussion over the two-day conference, as well, with participants pushing for the implementation of new trade deals, especially those that see Canada expand markets beyond traditional trading partners like the United States.

“There is some concerns about what is going to happen with the U.S. election and how that may impact us as a country,” said Eichler. “That’s why these outside markets are so important.” He went on to note that the Manitoba government has and is continuing to push the federal government to move forward on both the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement as soon as possible. “It’s one thing to say you are open for business, it’s another thing to be ready for that business, so we were very encouraged by those discussions,” he said. Increasing consumer confidence and public trust was another key item discussed by the ministers. Eichler said much more could be done to inform people about how their food is produced and why it is safe. “It’s about being open, about being transparent, sharing

information and making sure we get the good news out there too,” said the minister. “We have not done a good job on that as a government and as a business, we are very humble people and sometimes we need to ensure we are open and we do talk about things.” Sustainability, environmental protections, and climate change were priorities for the ministers as they developed the new framework as well. As was the promotion of valued-added products aimed at the export market and a renewed focus on research and development. A statement issued by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Minister Lawrence MacAulay, indicated that there will be continued collaboration between both levels of government as the policy framework moves forward, but no mention as to whether or not calls for increased funding would be answered. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Long-term plan

he farms that are winners tomorrow will be run by farmers who are proactively understanding and defusing production problems today. There are a number of growing issues that could be a disaster tomorrow, but growers can prevent them if they’re committed to doing the right thing now. The best example, and the one that’s Gord Gilmour a threat to the most farms in Manitoba, Associate Editor is weed resistance to herbicides. We’ve known for quite some time how resistance develops and the role that overuse of herbicides can play. Back in the 1990s, when I started as a reporter for the Co-operator it was one of the first lessons the agriculture faculty at the University of Manitoba very patiently taught me. In each weed population, a very small proportion will be immune to any given control method, it explained. After a single application, there won’t be much difference, as the seed bank in the soil still contains plenty of susceptible seeds. After a number of years of applying a single product, however, that population turns over and you’ll have a real problem on your hands. This not just an issue for in-season applications, but also for the precious glyphosate that is at the foundation of zero-till farming. Farms assume the scope and shape they do because of a number of things, not least of which are the tools at the disposal of farmers. It’s is not coincidental that farms grew dramatically in size with the advent of this new technology and system — it made field operations so much more efficient, allowing farmers to cover more ground in a more timely manner, especially during the crucial seeding season. But consider what the farm of today will look like if some or most of these tools become ineffective. Do you think a 20,000-acre farm, sown the old way, with tillage and a press drill, would in any way be efficient? That’s an exaggeration of course, but some of the steps growers have been forced to take in other areas are every bit as limiting. In Australia, they’re collecting and burning chaff. In the U.S. Cotton Belt they’ve been forced to hire crews to undertake the painstaking work of hand weeding glyphosateresistant Palmer amaranth. This isn’t the only case where a similar dynamic appears to be emerging. Clubroot isn’t a huge issue yet here in Manitoba, but Alberta canola growers have struggled mightily with this soil-borne disease. They’re undeniably in the forefront globally of understanding and fighting the problem. Clubroot is primarily a disease of vegetable crops that are grown on relatively small acreages. In Canada we’re growing canola, which is closely related to those vegetable crops, as an oilseed crop on millions of acres every year. We’ve introduced a susceptible host to a disease that is, in the words of University of Alberta plant pathologist Stephen Strelkov, “highly adaptable.” The result is in hindsight predictable. Clubroot figured out canola. Then it began destroying canola. Researchers developed resistant varieties, which clubroot promptly figured out in just a couple of seasons. Despite herculean efforts on the part of the research community, extension agents and farmers themselves, the march of the disease has barely slowed, much less halted. It’s not all doom and gloom, however, because knowledgable people such as Canola Council of Canada agronomist Dan Orchard, who first discovered the disease in a canola field, point out there are farmers right in the midst of the worst of it who are proceeding on with the business of farming without any major issues. They’re doing so by acknowledging it’s a problem and altering their management practices accordingly. They’ve lengthened canola rotations and moved to resistant varieties. They’re actively seeking out hot spots before they’ve spread throughout a field and planting them down to non-host crops. They’re planning their field operation to work on infected areas last, lessening the risk of spreading the disease, while also limiting the amount of time-consuming equipment hygiene that is necessary. This isn’t a question of more management just for the sake of it, it’s a fundamental question of protecting what they’re currently doing and ensuring their farms remain viable. By making small changes today, they’re avoiding having to make drastic and wholesale changes later. It would seem other issues are starting to loom as well — fungicide resistance, for example, in some of our common crop diseases. This is a bit more of a community issue since the disease is wind-borne, but again, the solution is rotating control products and growing varieties with higher levels of resistance. Nobody likes to make work for the sake of work, but getting this right is going to be the difference between success and failure over time. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Food consumers making their voices heard Consumer accountability BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS Troy Media

ocial media has given consumers a licence to manipulate the food industry. The result could be transformative. Social licensing frames an organization’s ability to operate with the confidence that its activities are morally and socially legitimate to its stakeholders. And as the result of social media and the licence it grants consumers, food systems are more than ever controlled by a triumvirate of industry, government and consumers. Look no further than how, through social media, consumers acted fiercely recently to protect their rights and values: the response to cauliflower prices rising to $8, the French’s ketchup kerfuffle and the battle over beef sourcing at Earls Kitchen and Bar. In each instance, consumers become the CEOs of food systems when they perceived breaches in the inherent social licence. (Never mind that they may have acted based on imperfect information.) This revolution can bring more attention to critical, underemphasized issues like failing food supply systems in northern communities, climate change mitigation and innovation in food. But it is less clear what food-related values are important in the court of public opinion. Food, consumed every day, is profoundly influenced by socio-economic factors. To identify specific common values is close to impossible. For example, while some believe animal welfare and organically grown food are essential to our food systems, others simply do not. In addition, access to real-time data makes the marketplace agile to the point of being fickle. Shared values can change almost daily.

OUR HISTORY:

Missing in the discussion is the notion that holding social licence means consumers can’t just dictate food industry trends; they also need to be accountable for their perspectives and behaviour. That means being fully informed and fair. Also missing is the notion that some consumers are denied social licence by economic factors, particularly as prices move up. One group has the resources to recognize market failures and point out the industry’s breaches in social licensing. However, the have-not group is less able to express itself and is often forgotten. For it, food is a matter of necessity and the quest for a social licence by industry is inconsequential. Food origins, farm and processing practices are trivial matters — they simply need to be fed. That leads many Canadian consumers to feel completely disfranchised. They can’t fathom co-owning anything, let alone food systems. Making Canada food secure is and should be imbedded in the process of social licensing for the industry. That means making food affordable and ensuring nutritional value is a priority. For the time being, however, the food industry’s social licence revolution is uncharacteristically and unfortunately exclusive. But it presents an opportunity for stakeholders to make the industry more democratic, more accessible and relevant to the broader public. Obviously, food consumers and the industry can make a difference by using their social licence relationship responsibly. But they must keep in mind that you can’t buy a social licence, you should have to acquire it the old-fashioned way: by earning it.

July 1927

ast week the Manitoba government announced that PTH 10 from the U.S. border to Riding Mountain had been renamed in honour of John Bracken, premier from 1922 to 1943 and leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada from 1942-48. Bracken had been a professor of animal husbandry in Saskatchewan and principal of the Manitoba Agricultural College before becoming leader of the United Farmers of Manitoba, which won the provincial election in 1922. The UFM governed as the Progressive Party, and was re-elected in July 1927 under a system in which rural (but not Winnipeg) ridings used a proportional representation system, similar to that proposed by the current federal Liberals. The victory was welcomed by the editorial cartoonist for The Grain Growers Guide, portraying Bracken as leader of a sensible and fiscally responsible farmer-run party as opposed to the free-spending, old-line Liberals and Conservatives. In 1931, Bracken’s Progressives formed an alliance with the Manitoba Liberal Party, and the two parties eventually merged. In 1940, Bracken formed a wartime coalition government that included the Conservative, CCF and Social Credit parties. In 1942 he agreed to run for leader of the national Conservative Party on the condition that it change its name to the Progressive Conservatives.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Developing a Canadian food advantage Farmers and the industry need to actually demonstrate that their products are produced sustainably BY TED BILYEA AND DAVID MCINNES

hat would you guess is the single most important ingredient in modern food production? Good seeds? Rainfall? Fertilizer? The surprising answer is that around the world, the scarcest and most precious resource for producing food is trust. Luckily, Canada has natural advantages that could allow the people of the world to view us as their most trusted food source — if we make smart decisions. To this point, much of the conversation about global food production has revolved around quantity: How will we produce enough for billions more people? But this is not the toughest challenge. The bigger question isn’t whether we can produce enough food but whether we can do so sustainably, without bankrupting the planet. We need to pay more attention to natural capital: our water, soil and the biodiversity of living organisms. Around the world, trust in food production is taking a beating as the depletion of natural capital continues. In many areas, water use is exceeding natural recharge rates. Algae blooms, fostered by the overuse of fertilizer and the run-off of phosphorus from towns and cities, are threatening oceans and lakes. In Europe and elsewhere, pesticide levels in groundwater are a concern. In China, people have come to distrust local food so much that there is a booming trade in online imports. People are also becoming concerned

about the links between health and food production. Although most are not aware of the science, consumers are growing increasingly uneasy about how the food they eat is produced. This concern peeks through in popular movements about GMO foods, organic produce, “buy local” and so forth. But these are only ‘stalking horses’ for the more serious problems.

Must demonstrate progress Winning trust goes well beyond trying to reassure consumers about how we grow food. Agriculture needs to show how it lives within the world’s limited natural capital and actually enhance it. For instance, the global agriculture sector can shift from just improving its own carbon emissions to soaking up fossil fuel greenhouse gases. Evidence suggests that as the price of carbon rises, properly managed soils might make this eventually possible. Canada needs to be bold in advancing such innovative thinking. Many countries are going to struggle with rising costs of food production as their environmental burdens increase. Countries that seriously deplete their aquifers are facing water deficits. Others have cleared vast tracts of tropical forests for agriculture. They have been facing consumer boycotts and sanctions as they become substantial GHG emitters and destroyers of ecosystems. Supply chains are responding. For example, Canada is taking a leading role in sustainable beef production. Our retailers are part of a global effort to source seafood sustainably. Many producers here and abroad are

By coming together as a nation, we can build Canadian agriculture and food into an even greater economic powerhouse.

managing pesticides and fertilizer use better. Many food companies are improving energy and water use.

Canada’s ‘big possibility’ Our strategic opportunity is recognizing that many countries will find it challenging to preserve, let alone enhance, natural capital. Canada, on the other hand, possesses an abundance of renewable freshwater and arable land relative to its population. Even our winters provide an advantage, acting as a natural pesticide. Canada can define a powerful food brand as more and more consumers seek out trusted and more responsible suppliers. This is what the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute calls Canada’s “big possibility.” Canada can position itself as a preferred food source and derive economic benefits from doing so. But are we doing enough to truly leverage Canada’s potential? We lack a common goal. We can aim to produce more food, to do so sustainably and to improve its nutritional quality — all at the same time. This would place Canada even further at the leading edge of global food innovation. This effort will require strong collaboration across the food system, including agricultural suppliers, food pro-

ducers, processors and retailers. It also extends to scientists, technology providers, financial institutions, the health community and others. There would obviously be an important role for government. Tackling the big issues confronting the sector (such as climate change) also requires a more co-ordinated Canadian science agenda. Carbon pricing will change behaviour, drive innovation and allow markets to properly allocate resources. National data and measures can track our progress. These steps will help deepen trust. But we must be smart about how we impose new regulations. We want to lead without giving our competitors a significant cost advantage. With its natural capital assets, Canada has a chance to improve its competitiveness if it can encourage consumers here and abroad to increasingly value natural capital and better reflect food’s real ecological cost. The expectations of consumers, our customers and even investors are constantly raising the bar. By coming together as a nation, we can build Canadian agriculture and food into an even greater economic powerhouse.

Defining just what ‘sustainable agriculture’ really means The term ‘sustainable agriculture’ is used often, but what does it mean? The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recently issued these five principles to define sustainable agriculture. 1. Improving efficiency in the use of resources is crucial to sustainable agriculture. Modifying current practices can do much to improve the productivity of many food and agricultural production systems. This principle focuses on the engine of transformation. Further gains in productivity will still be needed in the future to ensure sufficient supply of food and other agricultural products while limiting the expansion of agricultural land and containing encroachment on natural ecosystems. However, while in the past efficiency has been mostly expressed in terms of yield, future productivity increase will now need to consider other dimensions. Waterand energy-smart production systems will become increasingly important as water scarcity increases and as agriculture will need to seek ways to reduce emission of greenhouse gas. This will impact on the use of fertilizers and other agricultural inputs. 2. Sustainability requires direct action to conserve, protect and enhance natural resources. Food and agricultural production depends on natural resources and therefore the sustainability of production depends on the sustainability of the resources themselves. Much can be done to reduce negative impacts and enhance the status of natural resources. While intensification has positive effects on the environment through reduced agricultural expansion and subsequent limitation in encroachment on natural ecosystems, it also has potentially negative impact on the environment. The most widespread model of agriculture intensification involves intensive use of farm inputs, includ-

ing water, fertilizers and pesticides. The same applies to animal production and aquaculture, with subsequent pollution of water, destruction of freshwater habitats, and destruction of soil properties. Intensification has also led to the drastic reduction of crop and animal biodiversity. Such trends in agricultural intensification are not compatible with sustainable agriculture and are a threat to future production. 3. Agriculture that fails to protect and improve rural livelihoods, equity and social well-being is unsustainable. Ensuring that producers have adequate access to and control of productive resources, and addressing the gender gap, can contribute significantly to reducing poverty and food insecurity in rural areas. Agriculture is the most labour intensive of all economic activities. It provides, directly and indirectly, a source of livelihoods for rural households totalling 2.5 billion people. Yet, poverty is excessively associated with agriculture, and agriculture is among the riskiest types of businesses. Agriculture can only become sustainable if it provides decent employment conditions to those who practise it, in an economically and physically safe, and healthy environment. 4. Enhanced resilience of people, communities and ecosystems is key to sustainable agriculture. Extreme weather, market volatility and civil strife impair the stability of agriculture. Policies, technologies and practices that build producers’ resilience to threats would also contribute to sustainability. Several signals in the recent past have illustrated the risks that shocks can represent for agriculture, forestry and fisheries. Increased climate variability, whether associated or not to climate change, impacts farmers and their production. On the other side, increased food price volatility impacts both producers and consumers who don’t necessarily have the means to cope with them.

The FAO’s principles of sustainability say yield should not be the only criterion for farming, and that current intensification is detrimental to crop and animal biodiversity.

Rather than reducing these shocks, increased globalization has probably favoured their rapid transmission across the globe, with increasingly unpredictable impact on the production systems. Resilience therefore becomes central to the transition towards a sustainable agriculture, and must address both the natural and the human dimensions. 5. Sustainable food and agriculture requires responsible and effective governance mechanisms. The transition to sustainable production can only take place when there is the right balance between private and public sector initiatives, as well as accountability, equity, transparency and the rule of law. Mainstreaming sustainability into food and agriculture systems implies adding a public good dimension to an economic enterprise. Agriculture is and will remain an economic activity driven by the need for those practising it to make profit and ensure a decent living out of its activities. Farmers, fisher folks and foresters need to be provided with the right incentives that support the adoption of appropriate practices on the ground. Sustainability will only be possible through effective and fair governance, including the right and enabling policy, legal and institutional environments that strike the right balance between private and public sector initiatives, and ensure accountability, equity, transparency and the rule of law.

Debating location While the idea of a processing plant had general support, the location didn’t necessarily. “I would like to support this resolution, my problem is, what about Carman? What about Winnipeg? What about Dauphin?” said Ernie Sirski of Dauphin, who was also a director of the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers. “I want this soybean-crushing plant to be in Manitoba. That is my first and foremost, but I will have trouble supporting this resolution with a named location.” Williams, who spoke on behalf of KAP’s District 7, said they aren’t necessarily tied to the Brandon location but rather saw movement on the project by the Chamber of Commerce and wanted to get behind it. “Ou r t h i n k i n g w a s t h a t because the Brandon Chamber has had movement on this that we should align with it rather than try to create a grassroots movement to put it somewhere else in the province,” Williams said.

MPSG support In an interview, Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers executive director Francois Labelle said the MPSG also supports the concept and will support any community that looks to pursue the project.

“The association has taken the position that we want to see this in Manitoba; that is our goal. After that we will not take position on any specific location,” Labelle said. “When we consider the high percentage of our soybeans that goes for export and in turn we import large amounts of soymeal for our animalfeeding industry, it would only make sense to process locally,” Labelle said. In 2014, the MPSG contracted Mercantile Consulting Venture Inc., to conduct a feasibility study on bringing a soybean crush facility to Manitoba, which was released in March 2015. The report concluded construction of a crushing plant would produce several net benefits for the province. Soybean producers would have easier access to markets with the ability to bypass rail freight. Livestock producers would also gain a local protein feed supply at competitive prices. A large-scale facility would create a number of local economic benefits, both by keeping margins within provincial borders and spinoff effects through additional tax income and construction in the building phase. The feasibility states that the facility could create a pre-tax benefit of approximately $190 million annually. “For the study a location

needed to be used as a reference point for freight calculations etc. This by no means was highlighting or identifying the best location for a facility,” Labelle said. The feasibility study examined Elm Creek as a location and took into account its proximity to production, rail lines, feed mills and end-users. The location was noted to create strong competitive advantage due to the distance to U.S. crushing plants. “A final selection of a location will need a much more in-depth feasibility study to identify rail service, road access, labour availability, supply of product and easy access to market for the meal,” Labelle said. The report recommended it

Salvaging hail-damaged crops for feed Tests recommended to ensure there is no possibility of nitrate poisoning Alberta Agriculture and Forestry release

torm damage to crops can result in problems with nitrate accumulations, especially if the crops were heavily fertilized or manured in the spring to optimize yield. “With volatile weather comes storm damage and, for some producers, this means salvaging crops for feed,” says Andrea Hanson, beef extension specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Airdrie. Hanson cautions producers to use care as salvaged crops may have high levels of nitrates that are toxic to ruminants and emphasizes the importance of testing salvaged feed to establish quality and nitrate levels prior to feeding. “Sometimes producers want to wait to see if the crop will recover before salvaging it for feed. That’s when the balancing act starts. The nitrate levels in those damaged crops that were heavily fertilized or manured to optimize yield will have the highest accumulations.” Hanson says it takes about four to five days after the damage for the nitrates to build to the highest levels. If the plants start to recover, the nitrate levels will return to a lower level about two weeks after the damage, depending on their growth rate. The true balancing act starts when the leaves start to brown off and the plants begin to deteriorate, losing leaf material and yield.

would be best if the plant were a ‘switch plant,’ designed to crush both soybean and canola, to allow the maximization of potential crush margins. “ This option still keeps the soybean crush margins obtained from Manitoba soybeans in the province, and maintains all of the positive aspects for grain and livestock producers,” stated the report. Labelle said the study was conducted to get a better idea

HAIL Continued from page 1

Darlingford area a few days ago — but we still don’t know the size or the impact of that,” he said. So far, storms have been considered moderate to minor because crops were at an early stage and able to recover, Koroscil said. “We’re starting to run into situations now where the crops are all headed out and the damage becomes more severe because crops can’t recover at this stage,” Koroscil said. “We already know of reports where there has been significant damage to crops.”

Could top last year After hail damage, leaves can stop growing but roots keep pushing up nitrate from below. file photo

Rare in alfalfa Unless a perennial hay crop is fertilized at high rates, the risk of accumulating nitrate is much lower than in annual crops, Hanson says. “Alfalfa is a plant that only takes up as much nitrogen as it requires on a daily basis. The excess is stored in the nodules. Nitrate accumulation in alfalfa is extremely rare.” Nitrates accumulate in plants when the plant is stressed. Drought, hail and frost are all stressors that can cause nitrate toxicity. Photosynthesis is disrupted because of the damage to the plant but the roots of the plant are undamaged. As long as the roots are still alive, they continue to push nitrogen to the leaves. With damaged leaves, photosynthesis is disrupted, and the nitrogen (in the form of nitrates) accumulates. “If a producer does decide to salvage the crop, it’s essential

that the nitrate levels are known before any of the feed is used,” says Hanson. “Getting a feed test done is cheap compared to losing an animal to something that can be managed. Once the plant has been cut, the nitrate level is fixed and a feed test can be taken. Be sure to check out Foragebeef.ca for useful information on how to properly sample feed for testing. Hanson also stresses the importance of finding out from the feed-testing laboratory what type of nitrate test was carried out as the limits are different depending on how the nitrate level is reported. “Feeds containing nitrates can be fed depending on the levels of nitrates and the other feedstuffs available,” adds Hanson. “A strategy for feeding high-nitrate feed is needed well before creating a feeding plan to reduce the risk of nitrate poisoning.”

With a month left in the growing season, Koroscil said this year looks like it will be a significant one.

of what needs to be considered in order to bring a plant to fruition but they have no commitment to a set location or timeline at this point. “We just want to see this happen in Manitoba, that is what is important. We partnered on the study to get people talking and get the interest in a facility and are hopeful it will happen in the future.” jennifer.paige@fbcpublishing.com

Last year was one of the highest years on record, with 2,800 claims paid out for $31.1 million for the year ending Oct. 21, Koroscil said. With hailstorms typically continuing throughout August and into September, Koroscil said this year is shaping up to be similar, if not higher than last year. “It’s just a matter of what type of weather we receive and how many more storms we get along the way,” Koroscil said. “Another thing that plays a big role is how early harvest is — if it starts in mid-August and a lot of crops get taken off that reduces our liability as well.” After September long weekend, the likelihood of hail drops off, but the next six weeks are critical for hail damage, Koroscil said.

Ontario study says antimicrobial in biosolids is safe on soil Triclosan in treated sewage not a concern, but there is concern over silver nanoparticles STAFF

Canadian study says a common microbial used in household products does not affect soil health, but an Australian study on another product raises concerns for some soil types. In a study released July 18, the University of Guelph and the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association say that Triclosan does not pose a threat to the food chain or the environment. Triclosan is one of the most commonly used antimicrobials in personal health-care products such as soaps, shampoos and other sanitation goods. The study funded by the OSCIA addresses concerns about Triclosan as a harm-

ful ingredient in biosolids — treated sewage used as a fertilizer. The study concluded that Triclosan is not water soluble, with 98 per cent of the product removed along with biosolids at sewage treatment plants. “Biosolids are highly regulated so the recent research provides confidence for both the urban population and the farm community that it is a valuable resource — a win-win for both parties, OSCIA president Gord Green said in the release. Ontario regulations permit biosolids to be applied only once every five years on field crops. They are not permitted on land used for fruit or vegetable production. However, silver nanoparticles, another microbial used for household products, may be a concern in some

Australian soils, according to a study led by the University of Queensland. Silver nanoparticles are used in products ranging from detergents, textiles and home appliances, to socks, toothpastes, air filters, and nutritional supplements. A University of Queensland release July 8 said that in most cases, silver nanoparticles applied in biosolids were generally rapidly converted to forms that were inert and not toxic, and did not accumulate in plants growing on these soils. “However, in saline soils, the risk increased markedly, although further work is required to determine the magnitude of the risk posed by silver nanoparticles in these saline soils,” said study author Peter Kopittke from the School of Agriculture and Food Sciences at the university.

EU approves Monsanto’s Xtend soybeans Also approves a type of GM soybeans sold by Bayer Brussels / Reuters

he European Commission on July 22 approved imports of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready 2 Xtend genetically modified soybeans, opening up an important export market for North American soybeans and easing their global rollout. The decision removes a hurdle for Monsanto in its dealings with farmers and grain traders, who have to keep track of whether crops with new biotech traits have approval in major overseas markets. It follows a Chinese approval for imports of the soybeans earlier this year. The commission also gave a green light for a type of GM soybeans sold by Germany’s Bayer CropScience. The EU executive took action after EU member states failed to reach an agreement on whether to license them. Monsanto’s genetically modified products and herbicide are politically sensitive in Europe, where consumer and green groups have campaigned against them over potential health and environmental risks. The commission’s approval will allow these GMO soybeans to be used in food or animal feed, but not for growing crops. “Any products produced from these GMOs will be subject to the EU’s strict labelling and traceability rules,” the commission said in a statement. The EU already imports tens of million tonnes of GMO crops and products every year for use in animal feed. Monsanto’s Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybean seeds are genetically engineered to resist the herbicides glyphosate and dicamba. It is being sold for the first time in the United States and Canada this year.

Agricultural Hall of Fame Four Manitobans were inducted into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Portage la Prairie July 14. We’re featuring each one with their citations in successive issues Selma Maendel was the eighth daughter of Sarah (nee Wurtz) and Peter Maendel of Fairholme Hutterite Colony. Selma has been described as a staunchly proud member of the Hutterite community who exhibited all of the qualities often associated with this background — those being unique, distinctive, industrious, humble, caring, deeply religious and very private. Selma has been noted to combine these traditional characteristics with an enhanced leadership style, respectful nature, courage of conviction, tolerance of others and inquisitiveness, which made her stand out and allowed her influence to extend well beyond the borders of colony life. It was Selma’s hard work and determination that contributed to the colony and, as most are aware, it is these colonies that have contributed extensively to the agricultural industry in our province. As a research collaborator, Selma worked with a number of medical

industry professionals in order to further understand the genetic basis for many of the disorders seen in Hutterite children and adults. Selma arranged for students on the colony to visit the University of Manitoba to see first hand how genetic research was conducted and championed. Town hall meetings were held within her community in order to ensure Hutterite families would receive the latest information about medical issues that affect them. She travelled widely to speak at public forums including a conference in Ottawa on ethics in research to tout the fact that knowledge, even in the most controversial of topics, was empowering and the best way to achieve understanding between people. And in many circumstances, Selma knew the power of working together to move forward in this world. Selma’s astute computer skills and organizational skills proved extremely beneficial in two major projects.

Noticing that a lack of software for farmers was hampering productivity, the development of Selma’s Farm History Manager software program for recording and maintaining crop records was made commercially available to all farmers in many agricultural communities. And Selma’s technical skills came into play again during a schizophrenia research project conducted by the University of Pittsburgh. Selma had documented highly complex Hutterite genealogies that assisted researchers greatly in their conclusions that this community had lower rates of schizophrenia and other related illnesses than the local populations. These results, co-authored by Selma, appear in the American Journal of Psychiatry and are cited in various psychiatric textbooks. Selma has been praised for her contribution to substantially important scientific discoveries that have had a lasting, international impact.

Selma Maendel, Portage la Prairie 1961 – 2014

Selma was instrumental in providing a look inside the colony by penning articles published by the Manitoba Co-operator and Farmers’ Independent Weekly. Her articles took readers through many aspects of Hutterite life on the colony and in rural Manitoba, thus opening a window on the Hutterite community and its contribution to agriculture in the province.

Four new Nuffield scholars named for 2017

Council takes greater role in administering 4-H Now responsible for club, member and leader support

International program allows study of the best agricultural practices from around the world NUFFIELD CANADA RELEASE

our new Nuffield scholars have been announced for 2017. Nuffield scholarships give individuals an opportunity to boost Canadian agriculture by allowing them to study the best production, management and marketing systems in the world. “The opportunities and perspective that a Nuffield scholarship can provide are priceless in today’s global agricultural community,” said Kelvin Meadows, chairman of Nuffield Canada. The four new scholars will start their travels with a trip to Brazil in March 2017 for a weeklong conference for Nuffield scholars. Their scholarships, worth $15,000, require a minimum of 10 weeks of travel.

The 2017 scholars are: • Kristina Polziehn (Alberta Wheat Commission scholarship) is from Sturgeon County and president of Axiom Agronomy, an independent crop consulting company. She has a mast e r o f s c i e n c e f ro m t h e University of Alberta with an extensive background in plant science and agronomy. She plans to study the applications for remote sensing in crop production through the use of manned and unmanned aircraft. • Matt Hamill (Western Grains Research Foundation scholarship) is from Red Deer and works as an ag lender. In 2014, he became president of Red Shed Malting, one of the first craft malting companies in Alberta. He

will study craft malting best practices, looking for ways to grow and improve the industry in Canada. • Ja s o n F r a n s o o ( G l a c i e r Media scholarship) is from Calgary and is the commercial manager of fertilizers for CP Rail. He will study global grain transportation systems in the search for practices and policies that could offer benefit to systems in Canada. • Nicole MacKellar (Grain Farmers of Ontario scholarship) is a partner in her family’s cash crop operation and works as the manager of market development at the Grain Farmers of Ontario. Nicole will study the possibilities for branding of commodities that are further processed into ingredients.

rices for fed cattle at Manitoba stockyards softened during the week ended July 22, pushed down by seasonal pressure and extremely weak U.S. futures. “It was generally down from last week, and trending a bit lower,” said Scott McKinnon of CANFAX, the marketing analysis wing of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. Demand came mostly from local buyers, with some interest from the East and West. Feeder steers 500-600 lbs. hung mostly below the $200-per-hundredweight range while heavier animals fared slightly better. Just three outlets recorded sales during the week, Virden, Brandon and Winnipeg. A total of 319 animals made their way through the rings. U.S. buyers seemed to have quit coming north for the time being as they enjoy the plentiful offerings in their own areas. McKinnon says much of that is attributable to the steadily growing size of the U.S. herd. “They’ve been increasing their cow herd by one or two per cent a year to get their numbers up quite rapidly. Ours, in contrast, is stabilizing,” he added. “The number of feeders (for Western Canada) is at seasonal lows. The bulk of the calves should be ready by August,” he said. Pastures have generally been lush for ranchers this year and McKinnon says that’s a good thing as no one is looking to bring in more feed unless they have to. “With feed prices where they’ve been and tight forage supplies, guys are reluctant to pony up and pay to feed through this and retain more heifers,” he explained. The current low prices can be attributed to multiple factors but a few of the dominant ones

can be found in the U.S. Live cattle futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange hit their lowest closing prices in five years on Thursday, July 21. McKinnon says speculators and large players seem to be dictating prices more than the actual physical market. “Cattle futures are totally not tracking fundamentals. It seems to be driven by fund money and day traders and doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the industry,” he said. McKinnon adds the technical factors are getting in the way of pricing too. “It’s so distended from fundamentals right now, that it doesn’t seem functional as far as forward pricing cattle in the market,” he explained. Meat packers in the U.S. are maybe the one link in the supply chain that are currently benefiting from the market situation, industrywatchers say. They point out the current hot temperatures in the U.S. have prompted some ranchers in the Midwest to sell their animals for fear of injury or death due to the rising mercury. As a result, packers are paying less than normal. The hot temperatures also cut into demand as consumers opt for lighter fare in extreme heat.

EU grants additional 500 mln euros to livestock farmers Brussels/Paris/ Reuters/The European Union will grant an additional 500 million euros (C$721 million) to EU farmers struggling with a long-running crisis linked to low prices, notably in the dairy sector where it aims to reverse a boom in milk output after the scrapping of production quotas. European milk farmers have been struggling with a slump in prices fuelled by the ending of EU quotas last year, a Russian import ban on western food products and weak Chinese dairy import. The commission’s package includes 150 million euros

of subsidies to reduce milk output and 350 million that would come on top of aid granted by member states, thus potentially doubling the support being provided to farmers, it said. EU weighted raw milk prices have continued to fall since the start of the year and are now down 14.2 per cent on June last year, commission data showed. German Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt welcomed the measure as he arrived at the EU Agriculture Council where the commission officially presented its plan. “Today is a good day for European and German agriculture,” Schmidt told reporters when he arrived at the council, noting that the package dealt with both the

issue of volume discipline and the outlook for the milk market. Germany will be the biggest beneficiary of the 350 million euros of conditional aid aimed at securing market stability by reducing output, with 58 million euros, the commission said. France will follow at 50 million euros while the U.K. would come third at 30 million euros (25 million pounds). “Better late than never,” French Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll told reporters. “If we had done this before we would certainly have had less problems.” The crises in the livestock and milk sectors had prompted a wave of protests in France, both last year and again this year.

CE Futures Canada canola contracts l o s t g ro u n d o n t h e we e k , f a l l i n g i n sympathy with Chicago Board of Trade soybeans. However, canola lagged U.S. soybeans to the downside, as a weaker Canadian dollar softened blows. Canola declined C$18.50 in the November contract for the week ending July 22, closing at C$451.50 per tonne. Sharp losses in CBOT soybeans caused spillover weakness to the canola market. Investor profit-taking and fund liquidation were two of the main sources of declines in that market. Soybean prices dropped to a three-month low on Friday, as funds liquidated positions. Soybeans had rallied with the expectation for hot, dry weather in the U.S. Midwest throughout August, a phase of key development for the oilseed. But prices declined as fresh forecasts emerged, indicating more benign weather than previously thought. Forecasts for the U.S. Midwest during August reflect more rain and less heat than previous predictions, which will support crop development. Soybean prices also blew past key support levels on the week, which caused selling to build on itself. The Canadian dollar softened throughout the week, moving to a two-month low, which underpinned the canola market, as a weaker domestic currency makes canola more affordable to foreign buyers. The loonie shed 1.27 per cent in the week ending July 22, closing at C$1.3146, or 76.07 U.S. cents. Losses in crude oil futures, amid heavy global production and high stockpiles, pressured the commodity-linked Canadian dollar.

Crude oil prices fell as U.S. data reflects the country’s high supplies and an increased number of oil rigs. Higher exports from Iraq throughout July further added pressure to the crude market. While many expect that the majority of Canada’s canola crops is in good condition, storms throughout June and July, bringing excess moisture and hail are keeping a weather premium in the market. June saw unstable weather across most Prairie regions and there were a number of significant hail events for that time period. July weather continues on that trend and several companies are reporting higher claim numbers than normal for this point in time, the Canadian Crop Hail Association (CCHA) said in its most recent report. Heavy rainfall across many regions, particularly in Saskatchewan, resulted in excessive moisture that forced many adjusters to suspend their work for several days, the association said. According to the CCHA, the ratio of claims to policies in Saskatchewan is above the five-year average for the time of year. Claims are also above average in Manitoba.

Western Canadian wheat bids erode CWRS basis levels across Western Canada ranged from $27 to $29 below the futures By Phil Franz-Warkentin Commodity News Service Canada

pring wheat cash bids across Western Canada lost ground during the week ended July 22, as basis levels eroded. The declines in the cash market came despite relatively stable U.S. futures and sharp weakness in the Canadian dollar. Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were steady to down $2 per tonne, according to price quotes from a cross-section of delivery points across the Prairie provinces compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about C$200 per tonne in southeastern Saskatchewan to as high as C$212 in parts of Alberta. Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, losing anywhere

The declines in the cash market came despite relatively stable U.S. futures and sharp weakness in the Canadian dollar.

from $2 to $7 on average to range from $22 to $30 per tonne above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between the U.S. dollar-denominated futures and the Canadian dollar cash bids. When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars (C$1=US$0.7607 as of July 22), CWRS bids ranged from US$152 to US$161 per tonne. That would put the currency adjusted basis levels at about US$21 to US$30 below the futures.

Looking at it the other way around, if the Minneapolis futures are converted to Canadian dollars, CWRS basis levels across Western Canada range from C$27 to C$39 below the futures. There were no bids for Canada Prairie Red Spring (CPRS) wheat reported by PDQ on July 22. Bids posted earlier in the week were down by about C$5 to C$10 per tonne. Average CPRS prices came in at about C$162 to C$170 per tonne in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Average durum prices were down by $4 to $7 per tonne, depending on the location, with bids in Saskatchewan

ranging from roughly C$251 to C$255 per tonne. The September spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, which most CWRS contracts in Canada are based off, was quoted at US$4.9525 per bushel on July 22, down a 1.5 U.S. cent per bushel from the previous week. The Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, which are now traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPRS in Canada. The September Kansas City wheat contract was quoted at US$4.1900 per bushel on July 22, up 5.25 U.S. cents compared to the previous week. The September Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled at US$4.2525 on July 22, which was up by 0.50 U.S. cents on the week. The Canadian dollar closed at 76.07 U.S. cents on July 22, which was down by over a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart on the week.

Winnipeg home to new ‘bacon centre of excellence’ More of the bacon people bring home will soon come from an expanded Maple Leaf plant in Winnipeg BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

so-called “bacon centre of excellence” is coming to Winnipeg. Manitoba’s minister of agriculture used the phrase to describe a planned expansion of Maple Leaf Food’s bacon plant in Winnipeg during a Growing Forward 2 funding announcement last week. “This is one of my favourite products… and I know our customers to the south certainly enjoy it as well,” said a jovial Ralph Eichler, before praising the role Manitoba’s pork industry has played in the province’s economy. “Maple Leaf foods is an important player in the hog industry in Manitoba; there are over 3,300 employees in the province,” he said, noting the communities Brandon, Winnipeg, Souris, Landmark, Niverville, Arborg and Winkler have benefited in particular. Together, the federal and provincial governments are contributing $500,000 to the bacon line expansion project, while Maple Leaf ’s investment is valued at about $5.9 million. Once complete, the expanded bacon line will employ an additional 68 people, half of which will be fulltime employees. “There are a lot of people whose jobs depend on the production and the export of the products you see here,” said Rory McAlpine, senior vice-president of government and industr y relations for Maple Leaf Foods. He added that roughly 1,400 individuals are already employed at the Winnipeg processing plant. “All those employees are very much the beneficiaries of the investment and the confidence the government has placed by providing this assistance,” said McAlpine. “This plant has got a great history and is moving up the ladder of technology and productivity with each of these investments and it’s something that we’re very, very proud of.”

Export opportunities The upgrades will push the p l a n t’s b a c o n p r o d u c t i o n upwards by eight million kilograms per year, to a total of 48 million kilograms per year.

“Employees are very much the beneficiaries of the investment and the confidence the government has placed by providing this assistance.” Rory McAlpine

Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay emphasized the funding will help keep the plant on the cutting edge of technology, while also positioning the hog sector to take advantage of growi n g e x p o r t o p p o r t u n i t i e s. Canadian pork exports are

currently valued at $3.5 billion per year. “These are impressive numbers, but we all know they could even be higher,” said MacAulay. “Global demand for protein is growing and we know our industry can grow to meet that demand. That’s why the federal government committed to working hard to support Canada’s pork industry through investment and innovation and a strong focus on trade.” Manitoba Pork Council president George Matheson was also on hand for the funding announcement, which was held at the Winnipeg processing plant. “A strong pork production sector of course relies on a strong processing sector, so if the processing facilities have grown… it can only mean

good things for the pork producers of Manitoba,” said Matheson.

More hogs needed McAlpine also took the event as an opportunity to note that Maple Leaf’s Brandon plant is still seeking an expanded supply of hogs. “Right now that plant is running between 65,000 and 75,000 hogs a week, and we’d like to get it up to 90,000 or more, which we could do quite efficiently,” he said. “What we would love to see is more hog production… We would welcome new investment in hog production to get the numbers back to where they were when that plant was expanded, but meanwhile we’ve got enough supply to keep this plant running very efficiently.” McAlpine also added that

Manitoba’s hog industry is beginning to bounce back after a number of challenging years and he expects the supply of pigs will grow in the future. As that happens, Maple Leaf will also be seeking an increased labour pool. “We’ve been quite successful… with the foreign worker program and we have retained and transitioned to permanent residency the influx of foreign workers that we hired when that plant was expanded,” McAlpine said. “Now having said that, we are always looking for labour… if we could get a higher hog supply, we could hire that many more and that is really our goal. But we are managing the situation now and looking forward to some changes to the foreign worker program.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Swine trucks will continue to be washed in U.S. PEDv concerns continue as agriculture minister refuses to reinstate emergency truck-washing protocol BY SHANNON VANRAES

“I think that it’s pure logic that if there is more disease down south and they use recycled water in their wash facilities, that it is a time bomb.”

Co-operator staff

ederal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay says he will rely on the expertise of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency when it comes to truckwashing regulations. Speaking to reporters following a recent announcement in Winnipeg, the minister said he recognizes that pork producers and processors want to wash livestock trailers in Canada and not the United States, where porcine epidemic diarrhea is rampant, but that he is not in a position to change the regulations. “It’s very difficult for me to overrule the regulations continually,” said MacAulay. “I am the government, but I am not a scientist.” He acknowledged the disease has been a huge issue south of the border, but said the inspection agency has indicated washing swine-hauling trailers before they return to Canada is the right approach. The Manitoba Pork Council disagrees and has been working to convince the agency otherwise. “I think that it’s pure logic that if there is more disease down south and they use recycled water in their wash facilities, that it is a time bomb,” said Pork Council president George Matheson. “It will only be a matter of time before more PEDv enters the province because of that, so we’re hoping that between the minister and CFIA that they closely look at it and perhaps make a regional protocol for us.” For two years an emergency

federal protocol allowed empty hog trucks coming into Manitoba from the U.S. to be cleaned and disinfected on the Manitoba side of the border. That protocol ended in May. A short time later three Manitoba hog farms were hit by the virus, ending a nearly

16-month-long disease hiatus. While no definitive link between the outbreak and the end of the temporary protocol has been made, industry stakeholders have expressed strong suspicions that the two occurrences are related. Matheson noted while washing trucks in the U.S. might make

sense for exporters in other regions of the country, Manitoba’s geography keeps it rather isolated in many ways. “We’re in a unique position because there’s really only one main route used to bring in trailers returning from the U.S.,” he said.

Talks on the issue are continuing and the Pork Council and inspection agency have met as recently as last week. “ We’ve b e e n l o o k i n g a t it closely and we think that between the three groups, Manitoba Pork, the CFIA and the federal government, that we will come up with a solution that works,” said Matheson. “We are working together.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Feds fund Canada Beef export promotion Targeting Asia, Europe, North America and Latin America STAFF

Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay has announced funding of up to $6.4 million over three years for Canada Beef Inc., the national agency for research and promotion. A government release said the funds will support Canadian Beef’s three-year market development and promotion plan targeting key regional hubs in Asia, Europe, North America and Latin America. “C a n a d i a n f a r m e r s a n d ranchers take pride in producing a premium-quality safe beef product. This investment will help strengthen the Canadian beef brand globally, leading to greater returns for our farmers and their families and continued growth in the middle class,” MacAulay said in the release. “The industry development funding Canadian cattle producers are able to leverage with their own investment is critical to positioning the industry for long-term growth and success in these lucrative markets,” said Canada Beef chair Jack Hextall.

hanges to farm safety regulations are expected soon — and that might not be a bad thing for Alberta farmers, says the president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture. “Workers’ compensation or private insurance really is a great risk management tool for farms nowadays,” said Lynn Jacobson. “That protection against litigation is one of the big selling fac-

tors for workers’ compensation.” Oneil Carlier, the new NDP agriculture minister, has vowed to extend workplace safety regulations to farm workers who aren’t currently covered by workers’ compensation or Occupational Health and Safety regulations. Today, only around seven per cent of Alberta farm employers voluntarily carry workers’ compensation for their operations. But offering that protection — both for employers and employees — is one of the realities of farm-

ing today, said Jacobson, who farms near Enchant. “There’s getting to be more and more hired help on the farm and we’re employing more people,” he said. “It gives protection from litigation and other advantages, and if you don’t have it, there can be some serious consequences.” And farm workers today “aren’t just interested in a paycheque,” he said. “They’re starting to realize, ‘If I get hurt on this job, where’s the protection for my family?’ When it comes down to it, a farm that has some type of

protection for those people is going to have a lot easier time hiring people.”

senior executive with CP Rail says the company is “well positioned” to move this year’s g ra i n c r o p d e s p i t e re c e n t cutbacks in staff and locomotives. Grain is, was and will continue to be Canadian Pacific Railway’s biggest cargo, John Brooks, vice-president of sales and marketing for bulk commodities, said in an interview Aug. 6. And the historic railway founded in 1881 is investing to move even more in the future, he said. “Make no bones about it, grain is king at CP,” he said. “It is our life-bread. There is nothing we want to do more than move a lot of grain. “I think we feel pretty good about our handling capacity… to move this new crop.” see CP Rail on page 7 »

High tunnel production has potential to extend the Manitoba grower’s season, says MAFRD’s fruit crops specialist Anthony Mintenko.

Cost and paperwork

There are “some misconceptions” about workers’ compensation that have made Alberta farmers reluctant to offer coverage to their workers, said Jacobson. “Some people don’t like that administrative role and the paperwork that is associated with the program at this point in time,” he said.

production system that extends the growing season, offers growers a competitive edge in the marketplace and potential to make more money sounds mighty tempting. That’s why fruit and vegetable growers were out in large numbers at Hort Diagnostic Days in late July to hear more about construction of high tunnels. This is the first year a variety of fruits and vegetables has been planted in the high tunnel built in 2014 at the Agriculture Agri-Food

Canada location in Portage la Prairie. Growers are keen to hear what Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) specialists are learning. High tunnel production is commonplace in other parts of Canada and in northern and central U.S. where nearly every type of fruit and vegetable is now grown, even tree fruits. MAFRD staff are researching how high tunnels work in Manitoba growing conditions. “We have a lot of recommendations from other places like Minnesota and Ontario about what to grow in a high tunnel but nothing for under Manitoba conditions,” said fruit

crop specialist Anthony Mintenko, who is evaluating day-neutral strawberries, early-season June-bearing strawberries, fall-bearing raspberries and blackberries at one end of the 100x15x7.5-foot tunnel. Provincial vegetable specialist Tom Gonsalves is experimenting with vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers at the other. High tunnels are like greenhouses, except they don’t have a double layer of poly, and no permanent heat or electricity. But they have a similar function — they keep cold out and, conversely, heat in.

SHEEP & GOAT COLUMN

Expectations changing

With the festive season over there’s an air of uncertainty in sheep and goat markets BY MARK ELLIOT Co-operator contributor

heep and goat buyers appear to be prepared to exercise greater restraint in bidding as they view shortterm market prospects. The July 7 sale at Winnipeg Livestock Auction showed lower and controlled bidding. The top-quality animals saw the most interest and serious bidding, while culls were clearly viewed as such. It demonstrates that, once again, the festive holiday season drove the market and market trends can’t always be relied upon to continue past this season. The ewe class was flooded this sale, causing slightly lower bidding from buyers. There was no apparent difference between wool and hair ewes. Many of the wool ewes required shearing and featured heavy wool. Cull ewes either saw no show or much lower prices. Ram demand supported solid bidding from buyers and strong returns for producers. Prices ranged from $0.70 to $0.84 a pound, with one exception, a 134-pound Dorper-cross ram that sold at $0.92 a pound. T h e re we re n o h e a v yweight lambs. Market lambs saw a slight decrease in price at this sale. While they’re still in demand, buyers had more choice. Prices ranged from $1.66 to $1.77 a pound, with the exception of a group of Dorpercross lambs that saw a bid of $1.83. There was no obvious price difference between wool and hair lambs. Feeder lambs saw similar price bidding, lending the lamb class a sense of consistency. Once again a group of uniform and quality 87-pound Dorpercross lambs brought $1.88 a pound. Lightweight lambs showed

even better bidding, with the 70-plus lambs presented at the sale. Price ranged from $1.74 to $1.89 per pound. Welldeveloped lambs received more attention from the buyers, seeing a price range from $1.98 to $2.05 per pound.

The lower weight of the newcrop lambs brought more interest from the buyers, although the usual expectations of strong and high market prices were not present. The present market pressures and the unknown

DAIRY

future is keeping the market less reliable. The 70-pound new-crop lambs brought $2.17 and $1.90 per pound. The heavier new-crop lambs brought a price range of $1.84 to $1.87 per pound. The various classifications of goats have remained limited in numbers at the sales. Dairy breeds were the only goat does representing this classification. The animals offered seemed to come from producers with the odd goat on the farm. There was buyer interest due to the limited numbers. Goat bucks saw a 105-pound Boer-cross buck which brought

$197.50 ($1.86/lb.), while a 185-pound Alpine-cross buck brought $195 ($1.05/lb.). The selection of goat kids increased from past sales, fuelling buyer anticipation. The bidding generated more excitement for all the weights and remained fairly steady. The Ontario stockyard reports have indicated the past couple of weeks that it’s a buyer’s market. Buyers seldom reach the normal bids, which is a rare situation. All categories are affected and numbers are much lower than in the past. Even goats were affected, which is very rare.

“Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.” Mark Twain, 1897

Fair confidence in drier weather prediction Issued: Monday, July 25, 2016 · Covering: July 27 – August 3, 2016 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

ast week’s forecast played out pretty close to what was expected, with a couple of small issues. Well, one small issue and one big issue. First of all the small issue — the system that affected our region over the weekend was a little slower than expected. The big issue was that all of the models missed out on the heavy thunderstorms that hit a large portion of our region Wednesday evening. For this forecast period I think for the first time in a while I am fairly confident that we should not see any significant rain. I won’t go as far as saying we won’t see any rain, but it’s looking pretty warm and dry. It looks like the pattern will set up with high pressure dominating to our north and east for most of this week and next week. This should keep any of the active weather to our south over South and North Dakota. The northern high looks to dominate from Wednesday to Friday, bringing sunny skies and warm temperatures. Extreme southern regions might see some clouds and maybe catch the

edge of a thunderstorm late on Friday, as storms fire up over the Dakotas. Over the weekend, low pressure is forecasted to develop to our northwest and then move across the northern Prairies on Sunday and Monday. Currently, it looks like most of the precipitation will be well to our north with this low, but a trailing cold front late on Sunday or during the day Monday may trigger the odd scattered thunderstorm. Temperatures look to continue to be mild ahead of this system, with highs expected to be in the upper 20s and overnight lows in the mid-teens. High pressure will build back in by Tuesday which will bring with it plenty of sunshine and slightly cooler temperatures. This high looks to affect our region until at least Thursday or Friday and under the midsummer sunshine we should expect to see temperatures warm back into the upper 20s to low 30s for highs. Usual Temperature Range for this Period: Highs: 23 to 31 C Lows: 13 to 18 C Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W.

Interesting weather around the globe Global weather dominated by heat By Daniel Bezte Co-operator contributor

am back from my two-week trip to the mountain parks of southeastern B.C. and southwestern Alberta, and if you are into nice day hikes and mountain biking then Fernie Provincial Park is the place to go in this region. From a weather point of view it was darned cold, cloudy, and wet for pretty much the whole trip. My little weather station (of course I would bring a weather station), showed that with the exception of a couple of days with some sunshine, the average daytime high was about 15 C with overnight lows in the 8 C range. I am also strangely proud to say that it rained, at least a little, every single day. The fact that I was doing a lot of hiking made the weather not too bad as it kept you from overheating on those uphill climbs. Having to constantly carry a backpack full of rain gear for my family did get to be a little annoying by the end though. The biggest issue I had with the weather was the difficulty I had in trying to predict it using simple observation. It really goes to show that even if you know a lot about how weather works, nothing beats the knowledge you gain by living in and observing the weather in an area. On the Prairies it is relatively easy to

see what is coming your way. In the mountains, you never know what might appear only 10 or 15 minutes from now, as the mountains tend to cut off your view. They also create a lot of their own weather, and with so many variables controlling these local effects, it was nearly impossible to figure out. Of course, now that I’m back home it’s sunny and warm back in the mountains – go figure?! It’s been a while since we looked at what’s been going on around the world from a weather point of view, so, in no particular order, here are some of the highlights.

Hurricane season In the tropics, the eastern Pacific hurricane season kicked off slowly in June, but July has seen a record number of storms. As of July 22 there have been seven named storms, which ties the July record. With three of these storms becoming hurricanes there is a good chance that the July record of four hur-

ricanes in this region could be tied or broken. On the other side of Mexico, in the Gulf of Mexico, the opposite is happening. The gulf has now gone 1,041 days (as of July 23) without a hurricane. With no computer models predicting a hurricane by the end of the month, it looks like there is a good chance that this region will break the record for the longest period without a hurricane, which was set back in 1886. That said, it is interesting to note that the amount of heat energy in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico is currently at record to near-record levels, so if any systems do develop there is a lot of energy for them to work with.

Hot as heck Keeping on the topic of heat, one of the hottest reliably measured temperatures ever recorded on Earth happened on July 22 in Mitrihab, Kuwait, when the daytime high peaked at an astonishing 129.2 F or 54 C! The key word in this is “reliably,” as there are several readings that have

occurred around the world that are higher than this, but most, if not all of them, are highly questionable. While this is insanely hot, if we look at the daily highs for Mitrihab over the last month the “coolest” day was 45.9 C for a high with the “coolest” overnight low a chilly 27.9 C. Keep this in mind next time you want to complain about how hot it is outside. Continuing with the topic of heat, June global temperatures broke records once again, making it the 14th consecutive month in a row, according to NASA. June 2016 came in 0.90 C above the 20th century average, which beat out June of 2015 by a slim 0.02 C. For those of you who trust more in the satellite record of global temperatures for the lower eight km of the atmosphere, the University of Alabama in Huntsville reported that June 2016 was the secondwarmest June on record. With such a warm beginning to the year globally, there is about a 99 per cent chance that 2016 will be the warmest year on record. With El Niño now ending and a good chance of a La Niña event developing, we may see the end to the consecutive monthly global temperature records sometime soon.

Ice melt Finally, let’s take a look at what is going on with ice cover in the Polar Regions. In the Arctic, every month except March has

set a new record low for ice cover, but it looks like that will end in July as stormy weather in the Arctic has led to a decrease in the rate of ice melt. As of July 18 ice cover was at 7.82 million square kilometres, which is just more than two standard deviations below the average. Whether or not we’ll see a new record sea ice low this year is questionable as there would need to be a fairly dramatic shift in current weather patterns in this region between now and the end of August for this to happen. In the Antarctic, sea ice extent has been running near to slightly below average for several months now. New research into the unusual pattern of increased Antarctic sea ice extent over the last several years, which goes against most climate warming models and has been used by some to try and show that climate models are wrong, is showing that the expanding sea ice is tied into the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation. This is a decade or longer pattern of high and low pressure which is driven by precipitation and convective heating occurring in the tropical Pacific. Long story short, this new research suggests that the models are not wrong, but explains why there can be an increase in Antarctic sea ice extent, even as the planet is warming. As you know, when it comes to weather, things are never simple!

CROPS Changes to the CFIA’s weed seed classifications A new Weed Seed Order listing prohibited species takes effect November 1 BY JENNIFER PAIGE

“It has been determined that these species, if established in Canada, would have extensive repercussions.”

Co-operator staff / Brandon

he Canadian seed trade is being reminded to watch for changes to the CFIA’s Weed Seed Order (WSO), which specifies which species are allowable in pedigreed seed. “When we are purchasing seed at a time when the new WSO is coming into effect, it is best to mention in your purchasing contracts that the product you are accepting will meet the new WSO. Most exporters will be aware of the changes as we are consulting with them but that way you have that extra layer of protection,” Anita Gilmer, acting national manager of the C a n a d i a n Fo o d I n s p e c t i o n Agency (CFIA) and senior specialist told the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association’s annual general meeting in early July. The CFIA regulates the import, export and sale of seed through the Seeds Act via the WSO in hopes of preventing new weed species from being introduced into Canada. The new WSO will take effect on November 1, 2016. The previous version was enacted in 2005 and was thought by industry to be out of date. The CFIA began consultations in 2007 with the goal of reclassifying species that were incorrectly listed and adding new species of concern.

Highlights Eleven species have been moved from the WSO’s prohibited noxious — class one to primary noxious — class two. “Those species include poison hemlock, jimsonweed, leafy spurge, the hoary cresses, red barista, Russian knapweed, horse nettle, nodding thistle and Johnson grass,” Gilmer said. “These species were considered too widespread to be listed as prohibited noxious, and we are vulnerable internationally if we are regulating species higher on import than we do domestically.” The new Weed Seed Order also sees 17 species added to the prohibited noxious list.

“It has been determined that these species, if established in Canada, would have extensive repercussions. For these reasons, these additions have been made to the class one prohibited noxious list,” Gilmer said. The 17 new species include slender foxtail, yellow bluestem, silver beardgrass, Iberian starthistle, squarrose knapweed, Paterson’s curse, British yellowhead, spring milletgrass, dallis grass, African-rue, devil’s-tail tearthumb, kudzu, South African ragwort, Madagascar ragwort, silverleaf nightshade, medusahead rye and Syrian bean-caper. Camelina and chicory have been removed from the WSO entirely. “Ca m e l i n a w a s p re v i o u s l y on WSO 2005 and it has been removed from WSO 2016 through a number of consultations. As

many are aware, camelina is more of a crop than it is a weed in today’s agricultural systems,” Gilmer said.

Watch imports Sh e s a i d t h e m o s t c o m m o n places where prohibited species have been found in the past have been in combines and car parts coming across the border and in organic grain from India or China. If one of the prohibited species is found in Canada, CFIA may invoke the Plant Protection Act to mitigate risks. “The CFIA inspector would determine the appropriate risk mitigation and create a response plan in consultation with CFIA staff and the affected stakeholders,” Gilmer said. “Slender foxtail was detected in a seed lot in Manitoba and it is in the situa-

The Canadian Seed Analysts Association is hosting workshops throughout the summer for accredited analysts to become familiar with the changes. In addition, CFIA has developed an online database, which includes fact sheets to help in identifying seeds of the weed species. “We have never had a digital repertoire of photos like this. The Saskatoon lab has been very busy over the last while preparing all of the pictures that will fill this database,” Gilmer said. “There is a lot of good information coming up on the CFIA website,” said Roy van Wyk, executive director of the Canadian Seed Institute (CSI), the national group charged with being the single point of contact for all seed establishments, labs, operators and graders who are seeking registration, licensing or accreditation. “They have a number of wonderful fact sheets up there now with really high-resolution pictures and background on some of these weeds. I definitely think it is worth the visit,” van Wyk said.

Invest in your soil health instead of your inputs

Soil carbon is a bit like a credit card for your plants, says New Zealand soil expert By JENNIFER BLAIR

“If you’ve got a fungal problem, you need to be looking at soil health — not putting fungal treatments on seed. We need to stop the cycle of violence.”

Staff / Carstairs, Alta.

he Canadian government says six tonnes a hectare is an acceptable level of soil loss each year. Well, that’s not acceptable to soil health expert Nicole Masters. “Soil is our greatest export,” said Masters, director of Integrity Soils in New Zealand. “We took out a lot of our soil resources when agriculture really intensified. You guys have done an amazing job by shifting to zero till in terms of getting on top of some of those soil losses, but you’re still losing soil.” In Canada, producers lose about one to two tonnes of topsoil for every tonne of grain produced, said Masters, who spoke at a recent workshop here. “If you’re producing pretty good tonnage of grain, often you’re losing a lot of topsoil in that process,” she said. “If we measure success only by yield, we’re telling the wrong story.” Right now, Canadian farm debt is “skyrocketing,” but net farm income “hasn’t changed a lot.” “I’m not interested in playing in that kind of field. I want to look at how we can be profitable.” Nitrogen, for instance, is a major driver of yield, but it’s relatively inefficient, with only five to 25 per cent of applied nitrogen being used by crops. “It’s one of the most costly inputs for an operation, and so little of it is actually used. As a business plan, it doesn’t make a lot of sense,” said Masters. “We’ve got to look at how we improve

the efficiencies of the nutrients that we’re putting in.” Producers can start “building resilience” by focusing on soil health, she said. “We start to see a soil that holds on to water and can buffer excess water, while having reductions in pests, weeds, and disease.”

‘Underground workforce’ And that starts with soil carbon. “If we build soil carbon, that’s a big part of holding on to extra water,” said Masters, adding that one per cent soil

carbon can hold about 15,000 gallons of water an acre. “But most of the research that’s been done on carbon has been focusing on the ‘I’m here for a good time, not a long time’ carbon. It’s important, but it’s not what’s driving the deep carbon. “That’s being driven by mycorrhizae.” Mycorrhizae — fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots — can increase the surface area of roots up to 10,000 times, which increases the amount of water and nutrients a plant can gather from the soil. Plants also use mycorrhizae to send out their carbon and order their ‘food,’ said Masters. “You can drive in your car and go get some food, but a plant can’t do that,” she said. “The currency in the soil is carbon. Plants pay the microbes with carbon. “They send out that carbon and in comes your nitrogen, your water, your phosphate, and your zinc. If you’re not getting adequate nutrition in your plants or you’ve got trace element problems, this cycle is not working.” A quick way to tell if mycorrhizae levels are healthy is by looking for “Rastafarian roots,” said Masters. “We’ll see they look like actual dread-

locks on the plant. On that whole area around the root, the mycorrhizae will start to stick together.” But many modern production practices — including overgrazing, tillage, and chemical application — reduce mycorrhizal levels in the soil. And because mycorrhizae are soil fungi, fungicide applications are perhaps most harmful. “What do fungicides kill? Fungi,” said Masters, adding that producers will need to apply extra inputs to make up for the loss. “Who wins in that particular situation? Not you guys. This is why the net profit has been flat. “If you’ve got a fungal problem, you need to be looking at soil health — not putting fungal treatments on seed. We need to stop the cycle of violence.” By investing in soil health, not just inputs, producers can boost their bottom line and their productivity, while increasing the long-term resilience of their land, said Masters. “If we don’t foster our underground workforce, then you have to pay for the services they provide for you. It’s going to come out of your pocket if you’re not looking after microbiology.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Soy boom boosts bulk pedigreed seed storage

Executive director of the Canadian Seed Institute reports on recent accreditation and training activity BY JENNIFER PAIGE Co-operator staff/Brandon

Seed institute executive director Roy van Wyk says organic seed growers are among its new clients. Photo: Jennifer Paige

n increase in the number of bulk pedig re e d s e e d s t o ra g e facilities in Western Canada is keeping inspectors busy, says the executive director of the Canadian Seed Institute (CSI). “We are seeing an increase in bulk storage facilities right now. We believe this is largely due to the increase in the movement of soybeans in Western Canada. We are seeing a lot more facilities handling soybeans in bulk,” Roy van Wyk told the recent Canadian Seed Growers’ Association (CSGA) annual meeting here. C S I i s a n o t - f o r- p ro f i t organization that was f o u n d e d i n 1 9 9 7 by t h e CSGA, the Canadian Seed Trade Association and the Commercial Seed Analysts Association of Canada. It is recognized by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and has been given the mandate to be the single point of contact for all seed establishments, labs, operators and graders who are seeking registration, licensing or accreditation. “CSI helps the pedigreed seed industry maintain the

highest level of quality during the handling, processing and packaging of seed,” van Wyk said. “Currently, there are about 563 approved conditioners that we look at in Canada, 859 bulk storage facilities and about 80 authorized importers, 32 labs and on the personnel side, there are about over 1,600 accredited operators and almost 1,000 accredited graders.” Although CSI is seeing most of the growth in bulk storage, van Wyk says the institute has also been seeing a steady demand for other training programs. “We have been very busy in the last four years delivering grader training to new graders. There seems to be an ongoing and steady appetite for training,” van Wyk said. CSI has been actively delivering accreditation and monitoring programs in Alberta, Quebec, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick and van Wyk says the organization is looking to expand its offerings. “We are looking at developing programs for refresher training for operators in both the conditioners and storage facilities,” van Wyk said. “We have the outline and template of those training programs done right now.

more review to do and then we will have discussions about delivery.” CSI is looking at offering the new training with in-person sessions, but also through webinars and self-help sessions in order to minimize expense. Van Wyk noted that CSI also acts as an organic certification body, and the sector has been keeping him busy lately. “The increase in our client base is coming largely from new clients and new people who are excited about the organic industry. This is certainly a sector to watch.” jennifer.paige@fbcpublishing.com

CROP REPORT

Winds and hail damage crops in many parts of province Manitoba Agriculture crop report issued July 25 Southwest Region Most areas reported rainfall amounts varying from 20 to 80 mm over the past week. Strong winds caused damage in several areas, mostly to buildings, but lodging is reported in some early-seeded cereal crops. Hail occurred in several areas with severe to minor damage; assessments are continuing. Symptoms of excess moisture are starting to appear in crops. Winter wheat and fall rye are in the grain-filling stages and are starting to turn. Some winter wheat acres are damaged from recent hail. Most spring cereal crops are heading and starting to fill and crops seem average to above average. Early-seeded canola is in the full-bloom stage and early podding. Later-seeded canola is in the 30 per cent bloom stage. Several areas in the region are reporting hail damage in canola. Soybeans are starting to flower with some fields starting to show water stress. Most flax fields are in the full bloom. Sunflowers are in early bud. Corn continues to develop under good growing conditions. Peas continue to flower and are starting to fill and producers are controlling aphids where necessary. Bertha army worm numbers are increasing but are still under the threshold level. Alfalfa weevil is causing some damage. Rainfall and high humidity are making it difficult to cut, dry and bale hay. Several producers have completed first-cut haying operations as silage or are wrapping bales.

Northwest Region There was thunderstorm activity over the past week with extreme variation in total rainfall amounts. Reported rainfall amounts range from as little as zero to three mm in the Roblin area to over 100 mm in The Pas. Soil conditions throughout the

region are also variable, ranging from adequate in many parts to excessive in some parts of Swan Valley, The Pas and south of Ste. Rose. Some crops in these areas are beginning to show effects of excess moisture with low spots drowned out and crop yellowing occurring. Generally, most field crops throughout the region continue to advance nicely and are in good to excellent condition, with the exception of those crops in localized areas struggling to recover from excessive moisture. Most wheat is headed and in or past the flowering stage. Canola progressed rapidly over the week. Approximately 10 per cent of the canola in the region is bolting and 90 per cent is flowering. Pods have begun to develop. Field peas are also advancing rapidly. Reports indicate about half of the field peas acres are blooming and half are beginning to develop pods. Sixty per cent of the soybeans are in the vegetative stage of growth with about 40 per cent in flower. Producers are continuing to put up first-cut hay; however, baling progress is slow due to frequent rains and high humidity. Putting up dry hay is a challenge, thus some fields have been baled at higher moistures than recommended. Hay quality is deteriorating in fields that are cut and where swaths have been rained on several times. Forage fields are maturing and delayed harvest will also impact quality.

Central Region Temperatures remain variable with good crop growth on average. Showers, thundershowers and high humidity continue to interfere with pesticide applications and haying operations. Strong winds early last week resulted in some lodging in cereal crops, and downed trees. Rainfall accumulations vary, but most of the region received

15 to 25 mm of rainfall through the week. Higher amounts were recorded along the U.S. border, extending east of the Red River, with amounts ranging from 50 mm and higher. There are reports of hail and associated damage. Standing water is still evident in many fields. The majority of fungicides is being air applied. Cereals are growing rapidly. Heading stage is reached in all spring cereals. Fungicide applications continue. Lodging is reported in some of the earliestseeded fields, a result of high winds and thunderstorm activity. The most advanced wheat fields have fully formed kernels. Some plants are starting to die back due to root rots and smut has been observed in barley. Later-seeded canola is growing rapidly and most acres are in early flower. Podding is seen in the most advanced fields. Fungicide applications continue as the crop comes into the correct stage, unless crop damage precludes applications. Corn is growing rapidly and some is as advanced as early tassel. Soybeans are as advanced as the R1 to R2 stage, with a few fields close to R3. Bacterial blight is evident in a number of fields. The last of the second herbicide applications continue where timing and weed pressure warrant. Flowering in peas continues and podding has begun. Stands look good where excess moisture is not an issue. Growers are scouting field peas for pea aphids, as some fields have reached the threshold level. Edible beans are flowering, and fungicide applications have begun in the early types. Flax continues to flower and boll formation has begun. Sunflowers are in the R1 to R3 stages. Fall rye and winter wheat are progressing well. Fall rye harvest is expected to begin in the next two weeks.

Some minor grasshopper feeding is reported. Monitoring continues in headed cereals. Wet conditions make haying challenging.

Eastern Region Rainfall varied from eight to 50 mm, with higher precipitation levels occurring in central and southern districts. Producers made progress with field operations, particularly spraying with ground rigs or planes. Loss of yield potential due to excess moisture continues to occur. Some standing water in fields is evident. Isolated but intense hailstorms occurred both north and south of Beausejour early last week and caused crop damage. Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland were rated from adequate to surplus across the Eastern Region with surplus conditions noted in northern and southern districts. Winter cereals are in the dough stage. Some lodging is noted due to recent heavy rains and strong winds. Spring cereals range from late-flowering to milk stage. Canola ranges from late flowering to pod fill. Field peas are flowering and pod filling. Soybeans are flowering. The yellowing in soybeans, attributed to excess moisture, iron deficiency chlorosis and transitional nitrogen deficiency symptoms, continues to dissipate. Sunflowers are in earlybud development and corn ranges from V12 to V13 with tassels almost ready to emerge. Herbicide applications are complete. Fungicide applications in spring cereals and canola are also complete with only a few late-seeded cereal fields. Approximately 15 per cent of planned fungicide applications were cancelled in northern districts of the region because of reduced yield potential due to excessive rainfall.

Across the region, the majority of hay land and pastures is rated in good condition. Hay season is just starting and quality is mostly rated as good. Very few producers have started second cut.

Interlake Region Warm temperatures and scattered showers over the past week provided producers a brief period of time to catch up on spraying. Rainfall ranged from five to 15 mm. In some isolated areas however, rainfall amounts of greater than 20 mm were reported, along with strong winds and hail. Isolated hail and heavy rainfall were also reported from last week’s rainfall events. No reports to date on the severity of crop damage. Fungicide applications in canola and spring cereal crops are ongoing. Most herbicide applications are complete. Earlier-seeded spring cereals are finished flowering. Later-seeded fields are starting to reach the proper crop staging and will be sprayed in the days to come. Winter wheat ranges from milk to soft dough. Soybeans vary from second to fourth trifoliate, up to flowering. Corn ranges from V10 to V12 and most fields are rated as good. Canola varies from two- to three-leaf stage, to the earlier-seeded fields that are starting in pod. Peas continue to flower and have started to pod. Excess moisture is still an issue for many crops, particularly in the southern areas. Aerial applicators are busy as producers opt for aerial application of fungicides due to wet field conditions. Haying operations are hampered by periodic rains preventing hay from drying and curing. Alfalfa weevil continues to cause damage in some fields, and maturity of the alfalfa crop is reducing hay quality.

EU feed prices fall further Prices fell on Europe’s animal feed meal market July 25, pushed by lower Chicago soybean and soymeal markets as the outlook for the U.S. soybean harvest improved again. “U.S. soybean and soymeal futures continue to drop as the weather forecasts for U.S. soybean crop development get better and better,” one European trader said. “Hopes are intensifying that the U.S. will achieve a better harvest this year, generating supplies to compensate for poor South American soybean crops. “Buyers in Europe remain restrained in the hope that the U.S. price falls are not yet over.”

Five steps to market-ready canola International buyers are testing like never before — but meeting their standards is easy

“Having growers understand what they need to do to meet the requirements of our customers helps everybody get a higher value for their canola.”

By JENNIFER BLAIR Staff / Lacombe, Alta.

rowing a good canola crop isn’t just about high yield or quality — it’s also about getting that crop ready to market on a global scale. “We export about 90 per cent of what we produce in Canada, so being able to meet the requirements of our export customers is really important for having open and stable markets to sell our canola to,” said Brian Innes, vice-president of government relations for the Canola Council of Canada. “These are things like pesticide residues, blackleg, incidents of deregistered varieties, as well as improper canola storage.” In order to make sure their canola stays market ready, producers should follow these five simple tips, said Innes, who spoke at canolaPALOOZA here in late June. First, use pesticides at the correct rate, timing, and pre-harvest interval. Next, stay away from unregistered pesticides or chemicals that leave unacceptable levels of residues under internationally recognized maximum residue limits. “There are some pest control products

that processors and exporters have identified as a concern,” said Innes. “We need to help growers understand how to select a product that’s approved for use by talking to their grain buyer, and then using it according to the label.” These include anything with the active ingredients quinclorac (Accord, Facet, Clever, or Masterline); fluazifop-p-butyl (Venture L or Fusion); and vinclozolin

I M P O R T A N T

(Ronilan). Some exporters will also reject canola treated with metconazole, the active ingredient in Quash. “Producers should talk to their grain buyers if they have questions or concerns about products that they’re using.” Third, producers should follow best management practices for storing canola, said Innes. “Use the right storage practices to keep canola in the condition that it needs to be in for export by not using things like malathion and by keeping animal proteins out of the bins,” he said. Producers should also grow blacklegresistant varieties and use blackleg-management practices, such as planting treated seed, scouting fields for symptoms, applying a fungicide, and maintaining a break between canola crops in the rotation.

The George Kent outfit A chance find in an old magazine shows a Manitoba threshing crew in action

Threshing outfit of Mr. Geo. Kent, Shoal Lake Man., consisting of 22-hp waterous double-cylinder traction engine with 35x50 McCloskey separator. PHOTO: MANITOBA AGRICULTURAL MUSEUM

BY ALEX CAMPBELL Manitoba Agricultural Museum

hile researching the Winnipeg Tractor Trials we reviewed copies of the Canadian Threshermen and Farmer and in a 1904 edition, came across this image of the George Kent outfit, which consisted of a Waterous 22 horsepower steam engine and a 35x50 McCloskey separator. George Kent farmed somewhere around Shoal Lake. The photo contains a wealth of detail. Very noticeable is the large number of men visible in the photo. If you count the legs of the men standing beside the water wagon team, there are 17 men and one boy visible in the image. The entire crew must have come in from the field to appear in the photo. W h i l e t h e Mc C l o s k e y is equipped with a wind stacker, there is no high bagger so the grain is coming off the grain shoe and being conveyed to the side of the machine where the grain appears to being bagged with the bags being loaded into the grain wagon. This was a very laborious activity to say the least. If you look closely at the rear of the engine you will note that the firebox door has been replaced by an open-ended square metal tube, about two feet long. When the engine was being fired, this tube would be stuffed full of straw by the fireman, who is standing at the back of the engine on

the ground holding a longhandled firing fork. When firing, he would be packing the straw into the box and on into the firebox. The steam, after powering the cylinders, would be exhausted into the smokestack, where it helped create a draft through the boiler. Air would be pulled through the straw and as the straw reached the firebox it burned. Apparently, when fired properly, the straw burned very clean. When viewed through a firebox port it appeared as if there was a sheet of white flame in the firebox. Oddly enough, the belt appears to be revolving as the belt is blurred in the photo, yet there appears to be no straw in the firebox tube so cold air would be being pulled through the firebox, boiler and up the smokestack. This was not only wasteful of heat, but also hard on the boiler, as it cooled the boiler surfaces, particularly the flue sheet in the firebox, too rapidly. Leaks could occur.

Successful business The John Goodison Threshing Machine Company was formed in 1889 by John Goodison of Sarnia, Ont. He purchased t h e Sa r n i a A g r i c u l t u r a l A g r i c u l t u r a l Im p l e m e n t Company from the Sawyer Massey Company, which had in turn purchased the b u s i n e s s t h e p re c e d i n g year when it went bankrupt. Goodison rapidly built up a successful threshing machine business which

managed to penetrate the U.S. market, quite an achievement at the time. In 1892, Goodison secured the rights to build a threshing machine designed by John McCloskey of Sarnia and persuaded McCloskey to work for Goodison for the next 10 years. John McCloskey, with his parents and siblings, had come to Canada from Ireland in 1864. His family began farming in Ontario and some of the older McCloskey boys established a small carriage factory as they had been mechanics in Ireland. John learned the trade and worked in various places in Ontario. While in Fingal, Ont., John became interested in threshing machines, particularly the new “vibrating” machines with straw walkers. They were replacing the older apron-style machines in which the straw, grain and chaff were ejected from the cylinder onto a revolving slatted inclined chain. As the mixture moved along the chain, hopefully the grain fell through the chain, onto the grain shoe below. The

vibrating machines were an improvement over the apron style, however the balance of the straw walkers and grain shoe left much to be desired. John McCloskey worked out how to balance the straw walkers and grain shoe with a double-throw crankshaft and patented the invention in 1881. McCloskey assigned the rights to build his designs to three farm implement manufacturers at separate times between 1881 and 1892. In 1892, the rights were purchased by Goodison.

Added products Over the next few years, Goodison become the first manufacturer to add wind stackers, high grain elevators able to fill grain bins and self feeders to their threshers. For some reason, Goodison never had a Western Canada branch, which was odd as they sold a fair number of machines in Wester n Canada. Goodison did have branch operations in the U.S. and today Goodison t h re s h i n g m a c h i n e s a re better known there than in Canada. Goodison went on to build

their own steam engines, beginning in 1904. However, the boilers were supplied by the Waterous company and then Sawyer Massey. Steam engine manufacture ended in 1926 and threshing machine manufacture ended in 1928, when Goodison moved from their original location in Sarnia to another site. In 1920, Goodison became a distributor for Hart Parr and after the 1928 merger that formed Oliver, Goodison became the Canadian distributor for Oliver. There is a steel Goodison threshing machine in the Manitoba Agricultural Museum’s storage yard. On Sunday, July 31, 2016 the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and the Manitoba Agricultural Museum will host Harvesting Hope: a World Record to Help the Hungry. To help end global hunger, over 500 volunteers from 100 communities across Canada will operate 125 early 20th century threshing machines to harvest a 100-acre crop of wheat. When in operation, the equipment will require over four football fields of space.

Prairie fare Good food makes for happy campers Some tips and recipes to make cooking outdoors as enjoyable as the food itself BY GETTY STEWART Co-operator contributor

rab your fishing pole, marshmallows and floaty, it’s time to go camping! I know, it’s hard to leave the farm, but taking time to enjoy summer with family and friends is important. Not only is it a good way to reduce stress, but it can build fond memories that will last a lifetime. With harvest fast approaching, now’s the perfect time to sit around a crackling fire roasting marshmallows and swapping fish stories with your family. One of my favourite parts of camping is the food. From those tiny fun packs of cereal to fresh pickerel over an open fire, everything seems to taste better when camping. But getting there takes a bit of planning and preparation. Here are some tips and recipes to make cooking outdoors as enjoyable as the food itself.

A good rule of thumb when planning your camping menu is to keep it simple and prepare ahead. Cooking while camping means limited pots, few utensils and minimal control over cooking temperatures. Now is not the time to get fancy! One-pot dishes prepared and frozen at home are a dream once you’re at your campsite. Just think how easy that first night, when everyone is tense from setting up the tent or camper, will be when dinner is as easy as heating up a pot of chili, chicken corn chowder, spaghetti, mac and cheese or Cajun jambalaya. You can even freeze meat with your favourite marinade for easy, instant flavour. Aluminum foil dinners or hobo packs offer additional low-fuss cooking and cleaning. They can be prepared ahead or made at the campsite. Use a large piece of heavy-duty foil or a double layer of regular foil, coat with oil and add your favourite combination of meat,

sliced potatoes, veggies, onions and spices. Roll up tightly and place on hot coals (no flames) for about 25 minutes. For freshly caught fish, place your fillets, a few onions, butter, fresh lemon slices, salt and pepper in the foil pack and cook for 15-20 minutes. Fresh air and all those outdoor activities can lead to big appetites. Pack plenty of healthy snacks to keep your crew satisfied between meals. Consider trail mix, homemade muffins or energy bars, cheese and crackers, hummus and pita wedges, peanut butter and jelly on crackers, apples, oranges, watermelon, roasted nuts or chickpeas, applesauce, fruit cups, popcorn, dried fruit and cut veggies. Pre-made salads, especially ones with whole grains and pulses, wraps, canned tuna or chicken and cut veggies make great, no-cook lunch ideas that can be taken to the beach, on the boat or in a backpack.

Bannock

Zesty quinoa and bean salad

Here’s a basic bannock recipe to take camping or make at home. Add cinnamon and brown sugar, dried or fresh fruit, Parmesan or herbs for extra flavour.

A colourful salad, perfect for lunch on the field, camping or a barbecue side dish. It offers complete protein and plenty of veggies that will hold up nicely.

Ingredients:

3 cups flour

1 cup quinoa

1 tbsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 cup corn kernels

1/4 cup shortening or lard, cubed

1 cup cooked black beans

3/4 - 1 cup water

3/4 cup chopped mixed sweet peppers

Bacon and eggs is the breakfast of choice for my camping crew, but omelettes in a bag, homemade oatmeal packs, premade breakfast burritos, pancakes, bannock and jam, and egg and sausage hash are also favourites. And finally, when packing, think about how you will keep food cold and out of the bacteria danger zone 4 C to 60 C (40-140 F). We freeze practically everything except our first night’s meal to extend cooler time. Plenty of ice packs, a full cooler, a shady spot and storing beverages in a separate cooler are other ideas to keep food cold. We also pack plenty of foods that don’t require cooling. Produce like potatoes, onions, carrots, apples and oranges travel well, while canned soups, meats and beans, provide full meal options. The following are some of our favourite camping recipes.

Memory Garden turned over to Historical Society

READERS’ PHOTOS

Foxwarren’s beautiful creation now known as Community Garden By Darrell Nesbitt Freelance contributor

espite the Foxwarren Memory Garden committee disbanding, the project will live on, thanks to the Foxwarren Historical Society that has agreed to take it over. Over the past 15 years, committee members and volunteers have shaped the garden through their dedication, hard work and donations. The beautiful creation remembers those who have made their journey through life and businesses that once formed the hub of Foxwarren. The committee hopes people have enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the garden and that they will continue to support the Foxwarren Historical Society, as the “memory” aspect becomes a “community” garden. Officially opened in the late summer of 2002, the Memory Garden stemmed from a conversation during a local Merchants’ Association meeting when the group was discussing Communities in Bloom. In September 2001, after coming to an agreement with the RM of Birtle that the land would never be sold as long as the Memory Garden exists, four women – Gloria Tibbatts, Barb Gadd, Barb Wonitoway and the late Sonja Lyttle – began work to bring their vision to life. They created the intricate gravelled pathways that curve

throughout the vast expanse, which covers nearly a full acre in the middle of town. Through the efforts of the above four women plus Joan McTavish, Grace Grabauskas, and Meridith Lavoie, and the support of donors, a garden of 450 commemorative stepping stones (handcrafted by the committee and volunteers) was unveiled in August 2002. Special stones recognizing the donations of various organizations are also placed amidst the flower beds and shrubbery. The location, now boasting over 800 stones, continues to serve as a beautiful area for graduation and wedding photographs, and received the 2003 Manitoba Tourism Innovation Award. The garden also serves as a symbol of community spirit, said Gloria Tibbatts in an article which appears in the Birtle History Book. “Community spirit is about the joy that hap-

pens when friends, neighbours and families work shoulder to shoulder to achieve a common goal. It’s about celebrating each other’s victories and mourning each other’s losses. It’s about shared sense of responsibility and belonging. It is paying forward and giving back. It’s about embracing differences. A community pitched in – young and old – alike. The result is a myriad of flowers – a treasure of memories. Our community is better off – because they dared to dream – and we got on board.” Over the years, the Foxwarren Memory Garden has been in full bloom each summer – ready to be admired, remembered and treasured by all. With community in mind, the love, passion and memories in a rural setting will remain a focal point in the hamlet of Foxwarren. Darrell Nesbitt writes from Shoal Lake, Manitoba

Growing roses for rosehips Rosehips will add colour to the landscape and some claim they have health benefits when consumed By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

hen we Prairie gardeners talk of growing roses, we are usually talking about all of the hardy shrub roses that have been developed over the last couple of decades or so, such as the Parkland series, Morden series, Explorer series, and lately, the Canadian Artist series. These roses are easy to grow, hardy, disease resistant, and have marvellous blooms — many having a strong resemblance to those of the hybrid tea roses (which are not hardy in Zone 2 or 3). While all of these roses have their attractions, none can compare to the old rugosa rose “Hansa” for its wonderful perfume or its production of large rosehips. Hansa is renowned for its six-cm double red flowers with a violet tinge. The flowers are loosely double and the violet-red colour is very striking; the clove-like scent is sweet and

strong. Unlike the aforementioned roses, Hansa does most of its blooming in early summer and will only produce a few sporadic blooms after that. This flush of early-summer bloom, however, creates another crop of beauty — an abundance of colourful rosehips. If the spent blooms are not cut off the bush, the hips will form. They contain the seeds of the rose bush and start out green but soon turn orange and then orange red as the season progresses. These rosehips are useful in floral arrangements. I have used them in flower arrangements with an autumn theme, combining them with grasses and grains and fall flowers such as solidago, heliopsis, and gladioli. Many people in the health food industry tout the medicinal and health benefits of rosehips. They are very high in vitamin C and when eaten fresh, have more than citrus fruits. Much of the vitamin C in rosehips is lost during the drying

process, so they must be eaten fresh to benefit from the vitamin content. Rosehips are usually cut in half and the pulp and seeds are removed before they are used in teas, soups, or other dishes. Teas can be made using either fresh or dried. Some people combine the juice from boiling rosehips with that of apples to create a wonderful pink jelly. The fruit acids and pectin in rosehips are claimed by some to have medicinal properties that benefit the immune system, act as diuretics or laxatives, and relieve joint pain. Rosehips should be harvested when they are still plump and firm with just a little give when squeezed. This is usually right around the time of the first mild fall frost — which will heighten the sweetness of them. The Hansa rose is very hardy but it does often suffer from chlorosis, a yellowing of the foliage due to iron deficiency. This can be combated by using a foliar spray containing iron

Rosehips should be harvested when they are still plump and firm with just a little give when squeezed.

(chelated iron is available at garden centres). High-nitrogen fertilizers should not be used on roses so if a Hansa rose is growing in a lawn area, the area immediately around the rose bush should not have lawn fertilizer applied to it. Hansa roses can get quite “shrubby” — they

grow a metre and a half tall and get almost that wide. The best pruning practice is to remove a few older mature stems right to the ground each year to maintain a vigorous and healthy shrub. The older rugosa roses such as “Hansa” seem to be somewhat out of style at present, but for their exquisite bloom, intoxicating perfume and attractive edible hips, Hansa is well worth including in any Prairie landscape.

Rugged walls

Directions:

Whitewashed walls provide the perfect backdrop to a world of beautiful colour. The wall in the photo was created with rough sawn pine boards cut in different lengths and widths and stained with Beauti-Tone weathered hues.

• P urchase enough wood to cover your surface. Using a table saw, cut some boards to six-inch widths and some to four-inch widths of varying lengths. • Nail the boards to the wall in a random pattern.

What you’ll need: Tools:

Finishing:

• Table saw • Brad nailer kit

Materials: • 12-inch-width rough sawn pine • 1 -1/2-inch galvanized ring shank nails • Acrylic semi-transparent stain (wall in photo used Beauti-Tone Wood Shield Best, 778 series in BeautiTone Foothill and Outside White) • Letter stencils • Stencil brushes • Stain brushes

• Coat the boards with the white stain. • Next, select a few boards to stain grey. Then select a few boards to stain a lighter grey (mix the white and the grey stains together to make a lighter grey). • Stencil numbers or letters in grey for a reclaimed lumber look. • L ightly cover the entire wall with the white stain again. If desired, you can dilute the stain with water for a lighter effect. • N ote: For a different look try not completely covering the boards with stain.

If you want a link to the YouTube video for the above project, just email me at Connieoliver2016@gmail.com.

Scripted pillows Create the ultimate pillow talk with a drop sheet painted with colourful paint or left natural. It’s the perfect canvas to create on. You can also try this technique on curtains, framed canvas or on framed wood.

Materials: • Canvas drop sheet •M ini paint roller set •M atte paint (pillows in photo used Beauti-Tone: Designer Series Matte in Unforgettable and Cyan Sky) •P olyester batting and fill •N atural jute twine •C otton cord 1/8 inch •F abric glue •A rtist paintbrush •P ainter’s tape • Waxed paper •C oloured chalk

• C ut two pieces of canvas to the desired pillow size plus one inch all around. • Paint the canvas pieces the desired colour, or leave natural. • Cut two pieces of batting the same size as the canvas. Sew the batting to the back of each canvas piece. • P lace the right sides of the canvas/ batting pieces together, and sew a 1/2-inch seam allowance, leaving six to eight inches unsewn to allow you to turn the pillow. • Turn the pillow right side out and iron flat using a damp tea towel. • Decide on a script font that you like. (Search your computer fonts for inspiration.) • D etermine the length and height of your word. Then, working from the centre of the pillow, mark the bottom, beginning, and end with painter’s tape. Ensure your lines are level. • Write your word using chalk that is slightly lighter or darker than the pillow. • P lace a small amount of fabric glue on the waxed paper. With a small artist brush, apply one inch of glue to the beginning of the first chalk letter. Adhere the cord (one or two strands) to the glue. Continue to brush on glue and attach the cord, inch by inch, until your word is done. Note: For some letters you will have to cut the cord and start again. • Allow 48 hours to dry. • S tuff the pillow and slipstitch the opening. I hope that these projects inspired you to try something new. There are lots of great ideas out there that can add that special something to your space.

This Old Elevator

n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba. Today, there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the legacy of these disappearing “Prairie sentinels.” The Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Co-operator it is supplying these images of a grain elevator each week in hopes readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other elevator they know of. MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has developed a website to post your replies to a series of questions about elevators. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that have served the farm community. Your contributions will help gather historical information such as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and agents, rail lines, year elevators were built — and dates when they were torn down (if applicable). There is room on the website to post personal recollections and stories related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one not included on that list. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the farm community’s collective knowledge of what was once a vast network of grain elevators across Manitoba. Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at: http://www.mhs.mb.ca/elevators. You will receive a response, by email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received.

This 4,460-tonne elevator at Westroc Siding along the Yellowhead Highway northwest of Westbourne consists of two interconnected wooden buildings. It was intended to serve the Amaranth, Langruth, and Longburn areas, whose elevators closed in 1984 due to rail line abandonment. The smaller 960-tonne wooden elevator to the northwest was moved from Langruth in late 1983 and renovated the following year. The larger 1,880-tonne wooden annex to the southeast was constructed in 1984. The metal silos were added in 1988. Once operated by Manitoba Pool, the facility was later sold to Delmar Commodities.

Poor-quality world wheat crop eats into corn demand Black Sea feed wheat exports are being priced at a $25 discount to corn

“We’re seeing feed manufacturers and livestock producers gravitate toward wheat because it makes sense economically.”

BY KARL PLUME Reuters

rom the hear t of the U.S. big Farm Belt to Colombia, Vietnam and Indonesia, livestock producers are snapping up wheat damaged by bad weather or low in protein, providing pigs and poultry with grain more often milled for making bread. The increased global purchases of cheap, poor-quality wheat for animal feed comes as a combination of bumper crops and low prices increases its appeal compared to alternatives like corn. “There’s a massive amount of wheat out there that didn’t make the grade,” said one U.S. grain merchandiser, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “The next best option is to either carry it or find another mouth for it as feed.” Farms in the United States, the Black Sea region, Europe and Australia have had bumper harvests, which are likely to push global wheat stocks to record levels for the t h i rd c o n s e c utive year in 2016-17, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). But quality problems have weighed on prices. Now wheat is eating into demand for corn — also a staple animal feed and already under pressure from its own ample global supplies. The USDA this month hiked

its estimate for global wheat consumption in the coming year by 13.3 million tonnes to the highest ever, “primarily on increased feed use” which the agency estimated at 144.42 million tonnes. The last time so much wheat was used as feed was four years ago, when a harsh drought slashed U.S. corn production.

Discounted to corn This time around, bumper corn crops mean it is selling below benchmark-quality wheat, but

discounts for damaged wheat and low protein make the difference. The USDA cut its forecast for global consumption of coarse grains, including corn, by 3.3 million tonnes. Chicago Board of Trade corn is currently 65-75 cents per bushel cheaper than wheat. But low-protein or grain-damage discounts are more than $1 per bushel, a price cut of at least $36 per tonne, grain traders say. “ Wheat’s a great substitute for corn, there’s plenty of it, and it’s at $7- or $8-a-tonne

discount (to corn),” said a U.S. grain export trader who did not want to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media. “I’ve had some Colombians take it, and I’d love to sell them more.” G ra i n c u s t o m e r s i n t h e United States — from livestock producer Cargill to major domestic hog producer The Maschhoffs — are using more wheat for animals. “We’re seeing feed manufacturers and livestock producers gravitate toward wheat because

it makes sense economically,” said David Fairfield, senior vice-president of feed services at the National Grain and Feed Association. On the U.S. East Coast, home to some of the country’s biggest pork production, ships carrying U.K. feed wheat have been unloading volumes not seen in years, as a weak pound and cheap freight give it a competitive edge, said Jack Watts at Britain’s Agriculture and Hor ticulture Development Board. About 63,000 tonnes of wheat arrived from Britain in May, according to the latest customs data — the largest shipments since 2011-12. But Western European supplies of rain-damaged milling wheat find ready markets close to home. Black Sea export shipments are discounted $25 a tonne to corn, compared with $7 premiums in February.

Cargill sells U.S. ag retail business to Agrium

Big U.S. co-op launches new sustainability division

Chicago / Reuters

U.S. grain trader Cargill Inc. has agreed to sell its ag retail business in the United States to farming input seller and distributor Agrium Inc., the companies said July 6. Calgary-based Agrium, North America’s largest retail seller of crop inputs like seed, fertilizer and pesticides, will acquire 18 ag retail locations in Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. The businesses have annual revenues exceeding $150 million. The transaction, which does not include Cargill’s Canadian crop input business, is expected to close by the end of the third quarter after a regulatory review, they said. It is the latest transformative move for privately held Cargill, which has been refocusing its operations by exiting some lower-margin businesses and expanding into highermargin endeavours like food ingredients and aquaculture. The 151-year-old grain trader is also trimming some operations in the face of slumping commodities prices and focusing on its core strengths such as grain trading and processing. The company said in February that it would stop selling seeds, fertilizer and crop chemicals in the Black Sea region. “Cargill will focus on being the world’s leading merchant of grain and oilseeds,” said Roger Watchorn, Cargill’s lead for the North American agricultural supply chain.

Report rejects drought insurance for Australia

The Manitoba Co-operator | July 28, 2016

A diverse scene

Farmers say the absence of insurance undermines their capacity to invest in increasing production BY COLIN PACKHAM Sydney/Reuters

n Australian gover nment-commissioned report has rejected drought insurance for farmers as uneconomical, dashing landowner hopes of a change in government policy which could help boost output to meet Asia’s fast-growing food market. Australia is one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, beef and sugar, despite farmers regularly battling droughts. But unlike nearly all its major agricultural competitors, Australia provides no subsidies for drought insurance. Farmers say the absence o f s u c h i n s u ra n c e u n d e rmines their capacity to invest in increasing production and meet the growing food demand from Asia’s middle class. “It is vitally important that we have a way of offsetting the risk of drought,” said Andrew Weidemann, a grain farmer in Victoria. “There is an enormous number of farmers who are on a knife-edge with debt so they are forced into a position to look at some risk mitigation and the only thing available to them is these type of mediums and they are very expensive.” After nearly three years of drought across Australia’s east coast that drove many farmers to the brink of bankruptcy, the New South Wales state government commissioned the report to investigate the feasibility of following the likes of the United States which provides agricultural insurance subsidies. The report was the first time Australian policy-makers had considered a change in policy and spurred hope from insurers such as Allianz SE and Swiss Re AG, which see Australia as a new and lucrative agricultural market. But it rejected a change in policy, saying it was unlikely to displace current government assistance, such as concessional loans and farm household support payments during droughts. It said it came to its conclusion because 80 per cent of government aid after a drought goes to livestock producers for whom there was no insurance product on the market and that insurers were unlikely to offer it if drought was expected. Insurers rejected the report, insisting that drought insurance for livestock producers could be produced. “We don’t withdraw home contents insurance when the threat of cyclones changes because of a La Niña or an El Niño (weather phenomena),” said Nicholas Scofield, spokesman for Allianz.

Stiff U.S. corn export competition redrawing global grain flows Increased demand from Mexico is helping to offset losses elsewhere By Karl Plume Chicago / Reuters

.S. corn export sales have outpaced last year as steady buying by Mexico helped to offset sluggish early-season purchases by traditional Asian customers like South Korea and Japan. Now, Mexico is primed to overtake Japan as the single-largest U.S. corn importer, knocking Tokyo from the perch it has occupied since the mid-1980s and taking the top spot for the first time ever. The shift illustrates how the United States, once the world’s lone grain-trading superpower, is now relying on its southern neighbour to absorb more of its ever-growing corn stockpile, analysts said, as rising suppliers like Ukraine and Brazil have disrupted global grain trade flows. It is also the product of a multi-year commodities boom that began in 2007 which bolstered farming in South America and Eastern Europe and grain-shipping investments by local governments and large grain traders such as Cargill Inc. and Archer Daniels Midland Co. At risk is the long-standing dominance of U.S. corn exports, valued at $8.3 billion last year and a crucial outlet for about a third of every U.S. corn crop. “There’s been a shuffling of the top of the deck,” said Dan Basse, president of Chicago-based consultancy AgResource Co. “It’s a very competitive world out there.” The change in export patterns highlights how quickly the fortunes in the farm econ-

omy can turn, and how little time companies have to respond to those changes, said traders. U.S. corn exports account for a 6.2 per cent share of the agricultural products export total, according to the USDA. Despite a three-month buying flurry, Japan remains on pace to buy its secondsmallest U.S. corn volume since at least 1999, according to the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture data. South Korea’s haul through mid-June is the second lowest in a decade.

Stalling rally But the recent rise in demand by Asia’s largest importers could soon stall, thanks in part to Brexit which has riled currency markets. The U.S. dollar has rallied to a threemonth high against a basket of currencies after Britain’s vote recently to split from the European Union, making dollar-denominated commodities costlier for those holding other currencies. Meanwhile, Brazilian and Argentine corn prices are easing as their late-season corn harvests accelerate. “Buyers respond to price. If you’re not

able to offer grain cheaper than the next guy, you’re not going to get that business,” said a U.S. corn exporter who asked not to be named. When Asian buyers started shunning U.S. corn last fall, some of the largest American grain exporters and sellers scouted markets closer to home to offset the losses, said traders. In particular, they turned to markets that industry-funded groups, such as the U.S. Grains Council, had been wooing for years and regularly hosted at U.S. grain elevators and farms. Mexico, traders said, was an obvious place to pitch due to proximity and favourable trade status. For Colombia and Peru, free trade agreements also made buying corn from Brazil and Argentina less appealing than American grain.

Uncertain future Latin American demand for corn is rising with growing livestock and corn-processing industries. But as U.S. farmers look to harvest another massive corn crop this fall, questions remain about whether these markets can absorb the surplus.

Dairy Farmers, processors strike a deal The agreement on pricing and other issues still needs ratification, but implementation is planned for Sept. 1 “As our dairy industry operates under supply management, it is important that farmers and processors work together to be responsive to the evolution of the market…”

BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator correspondent / Ottawa

airy Farmers of Canada and dairy processor associations have reached an agreement in principle on how to evolve the Canadian dairy system for the future. The agreement was reached during meetings in Charlottetown following a year of talks, which followed previous attempts to open a dialogue over pricing and other issues. Details of the agreement won’t be released until dairy farmers and companies have had time to review and ratify it, the two sides said in a statement. The anticipated implementation date is Sept. 1. “As our dairy industry operates under supply management, it is important that farmers and processors work together to be responsive to the evolution of the market, and this is exactly what this agreement in principle

Ukraine free trade deal signed Officials say there are opportunities for Canadian livestock producers and processors STAFF

free trade agreement between Canada and Ukraine that’s expected to benefit Canadian livestock producers, among other sectors, now goes to the two countries’ parliaments after signing. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland signed the CanadaUkraine Free Trade Agreement (CUFTA) July 11 in Kyiv, after negotiations wrapped up last July under the previous Harper government. Canada and Ukraine must each go through their respective domestic legislative processes to ratify and implement the deal now that it’s been signed, the government said. The signing follows an uptick in Canada/Ukraine bilateral trade, which reached $278 million in 2015, up 13.9 per cent from 2014, but down from $322 million in 2013. Canada’s exports alone to Ukraine totalled over $210 million in 2015, including pharmaceuticals, fish and seafood and coking coal, the government said. Imports from Ukraine in 2015 reached over $67 million, including fertilizers, iron and steel, and anthracite coal. Canadian trade officials listing sector-specific opportunities and challenges for agriculture and foods, trade officials have said the “greatest opportunities” are for beef and dairy cattle producers, sheep and goat producers and beef, pork and poultry packers and processors. In their 2015-17 market access plan, published last year, staff at Global Affairs Canada also noted “significant opportunities for the full range of agricultural machinery” such as zero-till equipment, along with artificial insemination and livestock management technologies.

An agreement would be a major break for Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay, whose assurance the government was working on a long-term strategy for the dairy sector and a solution to the contentious imports of diafiltered milk was wearing thin after he didn’t meet a June 3 deadline.

MacAulay has said he’ll meet with the industry to discuss that issue, as well as challenges following the possible ratification of the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). The deal would allow a 1 7 , 7 0 0 - t o n n e i n c re a s e i n

When no plan was included in the March 22 federal budget, dairy farmers said they were worried the new government was backing away from compensation. When asked about that concern after the budget’s release, MacAulay said the government remained committed to compensation as part of the goal of getting the trade deal ratified this year so it can be implemented in 2017. D F C s a y s t h e i n c re a s e d European imports amount to an annual loss of between $110 million and $150 million a year in revenues and market share for Canadian dairy farmers.

Here’s How It Works:

Published by Farm Business Communications, 1666 Dublin Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3H 0H1

Last week's answer

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
