Canadian Meat Council Raises Concerns Over Proposed Changes To Federal Food Safety Regulations OTTAWA, August 26, 2026

he Canadian Meat Council (CMC) is raising serious concerns about proposed amendments to the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) that would allow certain provincially inspected meat products to enter interprovincial trade. CMC and its members strongly support reducing interprovincial trade barriers. However, the proposed four-year exemption risks creating a regulatory loophole that could weaken Canada’s food safety framework, undermine confidence in the federal inspection system and put international market access at risk.

“Most meat processed in Canada already moves across provincial borders. We support efforts to expand that trade, but not by creating different inspection standards for products entering the same market,” said Kyle Larkin, President & CEO of the Canadian Meat Council. “The potential damage to consumer and international confidence in Canada’s food safety system far outweighs the limited benefit of this proposal.” Federal and provincial meat inspection systems serve different purposes and markets. Federally licensed facilities operate under continuous, on-site inspection by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and must meet federal requirements that underpin Canada’s reputation and access as a trusted meat exporter. “Canada needs one federal food safety standard that is applied consistently across the country,” said Larkin. “We should be raising standards and expanding access to the federal system—not creating exemptions that blur the line between federal and provincial inspection.” Approximately 95% of meat processed in Canada comes from federally licensed facilities. CMC esti-

mates that only about 0.5% of the overall industry could benefit from the proposed changes. “Our federally licensed members invest heavily every year to meet Canada’s rigorous food safety requirements and maintain access to markets around the world,” said Dr. Sylvain Fournaise, Chair of the Canadian Meat Council. “Allowing products produced under different inspection standards into interprovincial trade risks undermining that investment and the reputation Canada has built as a trusted supplier of safe, high-quality meat.” “This is a solvable problem,” added Fournaise. “Instead of lowering the bar, we should help more provincially inspected facilities achieve federal certification. That would expand interprovincial trade while protecting the integrity of Canada’s food safety system.” CMC has submitted its concerns through the CFIA’s public consultation process and is urging the Government of Canada to work with industry and provinces on solutions that reduce trade barriers without compromising Canada’s food safety standards or international market access.

Set Your Field Up For Success By Managing Fall Weeds This article was authored by Jennifer Barber and appeared on the Bayer Crop Science Canada website (cropscience.bayer.ca) on November 30, 2023

s the season draws to a close, it’s time to celebrate a job well done. But as growers know, even as the combine shuts down, there is still work to do. As long as weeds continue to grow, they can cause problems for the next season There are lots of reasons to control fall weeds both pre- and postharvest,” says Rory Cranston, North American technical development manager, cereals and pulses with Bayer. “Most of those reasons involve thinking ahead. A pre-harvest weed control means that a grower will be making things easier when combining. Cleaning up the field after harvest will set them up for success in the coming year.” “Fall weeds will populate the weed seed bank,” says Carly Owen, an agronomist with Field 2 Field Agronomy in Carman, MB. “They can rob the soil of nutrients and depending on the weed type — such as a perennial weed like Canada thistle or foxtail barley — it can cause you big problems in the spring.” While the costs of farming have, like everything else, increased this year, ultimately the value of the crop and keeping the crop profitable should be top of mind when it comes to fall weed management. At the end of the season, poor agronomic decisions made to save costs, will not pay off. Owen and Cranston offer some thoughts about fall weed management this year.

SCOUT PROPERLY Good scouting remains one of the best ways for growers to stay on top of fall weed concerns. “Growers should always have a shadow on the field,” says Cranston. “It sounds simple, but even at the end of the season they should be scouting the field to see what is green. From there they can better target what kind of control they need.”

KNOW YOUR PRODUCTS Farmers get one shot to set up their field for the next season, but the plan for the fall is likely part of a complete, season-long weed control plan. Keep careful records to make sure you know what chemical groups you’ve used throughout the season, what the pre-harvest intervals are for different chemistries and identify any resistance issues you may have. For residual herbicides, consider the following year’s crop because while a herbicide may be effective on troublesome weeds, it might not meet registration standards for the next crop in rotation. If you are unsure what the next crop will be, consider using

something less risky with no residual restrictions for the following spring.

TANK-MIXES AND ADDITIVES A carefully considered tank-mix with multiple modes of action will help you stay ahead of most resistance concerns. Growers should know their enemy and what kind of plant populations they have before deciding what tank-mix strategy to use to target fall weeds. For a pre-harvest herbicide, Owen says that additives should also be considered, depending on the conditions. “The weed itself will be doing whatever it can to continue, even if it is hot and dry leading up to harvest and the crop matures quickly,” she says. “Weeds are more difficult to kill if they have hardened off and they are not going to take a herbicide as easily. In that case I recommend growers add in a surfactant or an MSO adjuvant to help with the herbicide uptake. It’s fairly cost-effective and you want to make sure you get an effective weed kill to help with herbicide resistance.”

THE IMPLICATIONS OF WEATHER Last year, an early harvest allowed plenty of time for fall weeds to progress, along with extra time for farmers to get into the field to see what was going on before making a post-harvest herbicide application. That kind of open fall provides the most options for effective control because weeds are actively growing

and therefore more vulnerable to herbicide activity. But fall — open or not — can be a time of heavy dews and cooler nighttime temperatures, so keep an eye on the weather and spray accordingly. For instance, a systemic herbicide requires temperatures to be at least 8° C for two or three days before or after application. If you’re hit by a frost, wait a few days until the weeds have recovered and are actively growing again before spraying. Wait until dew has evaporated before spraying as this improves uptake.

AVOID SHORT CUTS “I tell growers not to skimp on water with the idea of saving time,” says Owen. “If you are going in to control weeds you want to make sure you are actually going to get the control you are looking for.” As well, always follow label directions as cutting rates can cause bigger problems in the future in terms of weed populations and resistance issues. “It costs zero dollars to go into your field and see what is going on,” says Cranston. “Sometimes the weed spread is sporadic, and you can use precision technology to spot apply a herbicide. But the key is to understand what you are dealing with. Before or after harvest, make sure you know your crop stage, your weed stage and whether your chemical will have an impact on your ability to market your crop, and then you can get to work on the weeds.” NH

BACKCOUNTRY BASICS: What to Do When Your Dog Is Injured Far From Help Written by Cathy Dewaal (4th year UCVM Student)

or many in northern communities, outdoor life isn’t just a weekend activity, it’s part of daily living. Whether you’re hiking remote trails, checking fence lines, hunting, or camping off-grid, your dog is often right there beside you. But what happens when something goes wrong far from the nearest veterinary clinic? In these moments, preparation matters. While first aid won’t replace veterinary care, knowing how to safely handle your dog, assess their condition, and stabilize them can make all the difference.

Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic

FALL IS IN THE AIR. ENSURE YOU ARE READY FOR PREGNANCY CHECKING SEASON

HANDLING DOGS SAFELY One of the most important skills when your dog is injured is safe restraint. Even the gentlest dog may bite when in pain or frightened. Protecting yourself allows you to help your dog effectively. If your dog is injured, move slowly and speak calmly. Sudden movements can increase fear and trigger a defensive reaction. If needed, you can create a temporary muzzle using a leash, bandage, or strip of fabric by looping it around the snout and tying it securely behind the ears. Important: Never muzzle a dog that is vomiting, struggling to breathe, or has facial injuries. For small dogs, wrapping them snugly in a jacket or towel can help control movement. For larger dogs, keep one hand on the collar while supporting the body to prevent sudden lunging. If you suspect a broken bone or spinal injury, minimize movement as much as possible. In situations where your dog cannot walk, a makeshift stretcher such as a tarp, jacket, or blanket supported by sticks can help you move them safely.

BUILDING A SIMPLE FIRST AID KIT A pet-specific first aid kit doesn’t need to be bulky or expensive, but it should be intentional. Many people carry first aid supplies for themselves but forget their animals. At minimum, consider packing gauze pads, non-stick dressings, and self-adhesive bandage (also known as vet wrap) for wounds. An antiseptic solution like chlorhexidine and clean water or saline are useful for flushing debris from cuts. Tweezers are invaluable for removing ticks, splinters, or porcupine quills, while scissors and disposable gloves round out the basics. Most of these things can be purchased from your local pharmacy and/or pet store. For backcountry trips, a few additional items can be especially helpful: booties to protect injured paws, an emergency blanket for shock or cold exposure, and styptic powder for torn nails.

KNOWING WHAT’S NORMAL COULD SAVE YOUR DOG

PREGNANCY CHECKING BOOKING DATES ARE STARTING TO FILL UP! Please call ahead to get your herd booked in time to meet your operation’s optimal requirements. Remember, we can detect pregnancy in cattle as early as 40 days and staging is most accurate when done in the 1st trimester.

When you’re far from help, your ability to recognize early warning signs becomes critical. That starts with knowing your dog’s normal vital signs. You can check your dog’s heart rate by placing your hand on the left side of their chest, just behind the elbow, or by feeling the pulse on the inside of the thigh. At rest, smaller dogs tend to have faster heart rates (around 100 - 140 beats per minute), while larger dogs are typically slower (around 60 - 100). Watch your dog’s breathing by counting how many times their chest rises and falls in a minute. A normal resting rate is about 10–30 breaths per minute. Laboured breathing, panting at rest, or obvious effort should always be taken seriously. Another quick and valuable check is gum colour. Healthy gums are pink and moist. If you press on them, the colour should return within two seconds. Pale gums can indicate shock or blood loss, while blue or grey gums suggest a lack of oxygen. Both are emergencies. If you have a thermometer and your dog tolerates it, you can also take their temperature. Normal for dogs is between 37.5 °C and 39.2°C. Elevated temperatures combined with excessive panting may signal heatstroke, which requires immediate action.

DAWSON CREEK VETERINARY CLINIC

KNOWING WHEN TO TURN BACK While some minor injuries can be managed shortterm, others require immediate veterinary care, even if it means cutting your trip short. Difficulty breathing, collapse, inability to stand, signs of internal bleeding, severe trauma, or heatstroke are all urgent situations. Injuries involving porcupine quills, especially around the face or chest, should also be addressed by a veterinarian as soon as possible.

Outdoor adventures with dogs are one of the best parts of living here. With a bit of preparation and awareness, you can keep those experiences safe. Your role in an emergency isn’t to provide definitive treatment, it’s to stay calm, prevent further injury, and get your dog to veterinary care as quickly as possible. NH

Good Hoof is a second-generation reintroduced product. Originally made in the 80’s and back on the shelf in 2026. Come in today for the Good of your Hoofs. Good Hoof has the ingredients you expect in a top-notch hoof treatment, the pine tar, the oils, and the disinfectants. It was developed to be thick enough to stay on the hoof while thin enough to penetrate and do the job it is intended to do. Our product makes a difference.

Canadian Cattle Young Leaders Announce 2026 Finalists Calgary, AB, September 1, 2026

he Canadian Cattle Young Leaders (CYL) Program, a national youth initiative of the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA), is pleased to announce its 16 finalists for the 2026–2027 program year. The annual CYL Selections Competition took place on August 18, 2026, at the Canadian Beef Industry Conference in Winnipeg, Manitoba. During the competition, impressive semi-finalists from across Canada, involved in various roles within the beef supply chain, competed for a spot in the 2026 mentorship program year. Through the Selections Competition, semi-finalists rotated through discussions with their peers at six roundtables, each facilitated and judged by representatives from the program’s sponsors and industry. Semi-finalists put their skills to the test during thought provoking discussions about timely beef industry topics such as education, succession planning, leadership, public trust, innovative technology and international trade. Each finalist will be awarded a $3,000 budget for beef industry travel and learning opportunities and will be paired with a hand-picked industry leader for a nine-month mentorship in their specific area of interest. “Congratulations to the CYL finalists. The passion, dedication and knowledge demonstrated for the Canadian beef industry during the roundtable discussions was inspiring,” said Tyler Fulton, President of the Canadian Cattle Association. “This year’s impressive group of semi-finalists emphasized that the Canadian beef industry is in good hands with the talent and leadership of the next generation.” The 2026 finalists, from West to East, are: British Columbia: Sarah MacDonald (Vanderhoof) Alberta: Andria Carlyon (Dapp); Caith Cameron (Didsbury); Derek Friend (Rosalind); Jordyn Prior (Irma); Karin Roen (Oyen); Lauren Stefaniuk (Airdrie); Quinn Devine (Innisfree); Ralph Thrall IV (Lethbridge); Sydney Fortier (Diamond Valley) Saskatchewan: Blythe Clemence (Broadview); Jessica Davey (Southwest of Saskatoon); Olivia Woytiuk (Shell Lake) Manitoba: Mae Fulton (Birtle) Ontario: Elizabeth Teel (Listowel) Quebec: Emilie Blondeau (Princeville)

75 Years Of Innovative Agriculture Research Alberta is marking Crop Diversification Centre North’s decades of success supporting the province through agriculture research that directly benefits farmers.

ince its beginnings in 1951 when it took root as a tree nursery, Alberta’s Crop Diversification Centre North (CDC North) has been a nucleus for collaborative research and crop health surveillance. It has expanded from just 18 acres on a former federal government fur farm just outside of Edmonton, to 340 acres that is home to nine greenhouses, the Alberta Plant Health Lab, the Bee Health Unit and Western Canada’s only seed potato repository. CDC North has evolved and grown to keep pace with changes in the agriculture sector, collaborating with industry and post-secondary institutions on research, diagnostics and more to provide farmers with the information they need for long-term planting success to continue what they need to thrive and continue

Alberta’s legacy as a global agriculture powerhouse. “From strengthening crop health to fighting diseases and helping protect Alberta’s farmland, CDC North has been leading the way in agriculture research, crop health surveillance and more. For 75 years, the work done on this site has had an outsized impact on Alberta’s ag sector, and it’s worth celebrating. Congratulations to everyone who played a key role in making CDC North such a massive success, and all the best in the next 75 years.” Tara Sawyer, Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation Some notable successes from CDCN include a provincial tree nursery, which at its peak distributed 3.5 million seedlings every year for farmers across the province for shelterbelts; the Alberta Plant Health Lab,

which provides diagnosis for Dutch Elm Disease, protecting nearly a billion dollars worth of elms; and an on-site clubroot disease nursery in collaboration with the University of Alberta. “Crop Diversification Centre North has supported Alberta agriculture for 75 years. With the potato repository and Alberta Plant Health Lab located on site, CDCN has a strong connection to Alberta’s potato industry. We are proud to be part of its history and look forward to its continued role serving the province’s agricultural sector.” Stacey Bajema, director, government relations, Policy and Seed, Potato Growers of Alberta “CDC North is a valuable partner in advancing crop research at the University of Alberta by providing a collaborative environment, essential facilities and expert guidance critical to our program’s success. Our faculty members have worked closely with CDC North for several years, continuing a long tradition of joint agricultural research in the province. Working together is imperative as we develop resilient crops capable of withstanding emerging diseases, pests and growing climate variability.” Rickey Yada, professor and dean, Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Alberta

RDAR Boosts Support For Western Crop Innovations With $5 Million Investment Edmonton, AB, July 28, 2026

acked by funding from the federal and provincial governments through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, RDAR is delivering an additional $5.2 million in Western Crop Innovations (WCI) to strengthen feed and forage barley and triticale breeding for Alberta and Western Canadian producers. The investment will strengthen Alberta’s plant breeding capacity, accelerate the development of locally adapted varieties and support the long-term competitiveness of crop and livestock producers in the province and across the west. Established in 2024 to carry forward the work of the Field Crop Development Centre (FCDC), WCI builds on a strong breeding legacy that includes 45 barley varieties and 19 triticale varieties. These include 40 generalpurpose and five malting barley varieties, along with 10 spring and nine winter triticale varieties. The barley releases include advanced traits such as improved nitrogen-use efficiency and non-glycosidic nitrile, or non-GN. Non-GN varieties are important to the whisky and distilling sector. WCI varieties accounted for 8.3 per cent of generalpurpose, non-malt barley acres in Western Canada in 2025, with a target of 9.3 per cent by 2028. Recent releases include AB Standswell, a six-row feed and forage variety and the first barley variety with enhanced nitrogen-use efficiency. For producers, the investment is intended to support varieties that are productive, resilient, and prac-

tical for Western Canadian growing conditions. By linking breeding science with the needs of feed, forage, crop, and livestock systems, WCI helps ensure that new varieties are developed with producer use in mind. WCI is modernizing its breeding programs with advanced tools such as genomic selection, UAVbased digital phenotyping, and speed breeding. These approaches can help accelerate genetic gain, improve breeding efficiency, and support faster validation of traits that matter to producers. WCI has also strengthened its pipeline by integrating biotechnology, pathology, and quality assessment, and by adopting a Strategic Blueprint that includes key leadership roles and Industry and Scientific Advisory Committees. The Honourable Heath MacDonald, federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, said of today’s announcement: “Canadian producers and processors are constantly adapting to new challenges, and rely on innovative solutions to help them stay profitable and resilient. This investment in WCI carries on a strong history of forage crop breeding, ensuring producers in Western Canada continue to have access to new varieties that are uniquely suited to conditions in their region.” Commenting on today’s funding announcement, Tara Sawyer, Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, said: “Alberta is a leader in producer-led research that is strengthening crop breeding in Alberta and Western Canada. RDAR’s significant investment in WCI ensures

locally adapted, innovative feed and forage crop solutions support the entire value chain from breeders to producers which builds necessary resilience and competitiveness for Alberta’s agricultural producers. This investment will continue to strengthen our robust crops industry.” Dr. Mark Redmond, RDAR CEO, said: “Crop innovation depends on strong local research capacity linked to the best genetics, science, and partnerships available globally. WCI’s essential role is to shape that innovation to meet Alberta and Western Canada’s feed and forage needs, supporting crop and livestock sectors that differ from those in other regions. The continued support of WCI’s members in Alberta and Saskatchewan demonstrates how deeply integrated WCI is in the crops and livestock value chain and how important it is to the strength of Canada’s barley sector.” WCI Chair, Kevin Bender, said: “Today’s news is further illustration of the growing importance and impact that WCI is delivering for its stakeholders. WCI’s work delivers broad public benefits, including supporting rural economies, enhancing food security, and providing a foundation for sustainable agricultural growth.” RDAR’s investment will help WCI continue modernizing its breeding programs, with a strategic focus on feed and forage barley and triticale, genomics, digital phenotyping, and more efficient breeding pipelines that support producer-ready varieties for Western Canadian conditions.

Soil pH, Nutrient Stratification And Spatial Variability Reprint courtesy of Bruce Barker, www.CanadianAgronomist.ca | June 10, 2026

illage initially contributed to pH and nutrient spatial variability, but no-till management practices over the past 40 years have reduced pH and increased nutrient stratification and spatial variability. Acidification of soils, nutrient stratification, and spatial variability are issues that no-till farmers face on the Canadian Prairies. While soil pH and spatial variability is affected by parent material during soil formation, ongoing acidification, stratification and spatial variability have been affected by minimum tillage practices that place high rates of fertilizers in concentrated, shallow bands. A research literature review into these issues was conducted with four objectives: • summarize the evolution of soil pH stratification and variability from conventional to no-till systems, • review the contributing factors to soil pH and nutrient stratification, • discuss the implications of soil pH stratification on pest management, and • deliberate on challenges and opportunities for managing stratified pH in no-till systems.

THE LEGACY OF TILLAGE Acidic subsoils with lower pH are most common in northwestern Saskatchewan and central and northwest Alberta. Carbonate-rich subsoils with higher pH are more common in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and southern Alberta. Prior to the widespread adoption of min- and notillage on the Canadian Prairies, tillage was common practice. Multiple research studies have found that tillage for seedbed preparation and summerfallow was primarily responsible for soil redistribution in fields. This tillage moved soil downslope from hilltops in fields with variable topography. This changed vertical distribution of soil pH and increased spatial variability. Soils from A horizon hilltops and shoulders were moved downslope, and the B and C horizons (parent material) were eventually exposed on the hilltops. This resulted in thicker A horizon on the lower slope and depressions than upper slopes. Depending on the carbonate content of the parent material, this resulted in spatially variable pH across these landscape positions. One example from the Dark Brown soil zone in Sas-

katchewan found that shoulder positions in the hummocky landscape had pH values greater than 7.0 in the 0 to six inch (0 – 15 cm) depth, and had about 55 per cent of the original soil organic carbon lost to downslope movement. Lower slopes had high organic matter and lower pH values but were overlaid with shallow surface layers of lower organic matter and higher pH soil from upper slopes.

REDUCED TILLAGE IMPACTS ON SOIL PH In the early 1990s, reduced and no-tillage practices started to become more commonplace. This led to a more diverse crop rotation with oilseeds and pulse crops. With increased crop productivity, fertilizer application rates were increased, and applied in concentrated, shallow bands in the top three inches (7.5 cm) of topsoil. Residue decomposition was concentrated near the soil surface, and plant roots and cation uptake occurred near the shallow fertilizer bands. The annual application of ammonium-based fertilizers, primarily urea (46-0-0) and anhydrous ammonia (82-0-0), contributes to the acidification of soils when they undergo microbial nitrification that releases hydrogen ions (H+). The amount of pH reduction and where the stratification occurs depends on fertilizer type and placement depth. Additionally, plant uptake and assimilation of ammonium-N can further reduce pH. For example, research at Scott, SK, found that the decrease in pH was 0.7 to 1 pH units over nine years. At Crossfield, AB, the decrease was found to be 0.48 to 2.99 pH units over 27 years, and in the Peace River regions of Alberta, a decrease of 0.18 to 0.43 pH units over four to five years. Pulse crop growth can also contribute to acidification, even though N fertilizers are not applied during the cropping year. During the biological nitrogen fixation process, more cations than anions are absorbed, resulting in the release of acidifying H+ ions into the soil rhizosphere. Ammonium sulfate fertilization has also become routine for high-S demand crops like canola, further contributing to acidification during the biological nitrification process. Elemental sulfur broadcast application can also contribute to acidification because there is more time for microbial oxidation that releases 2H+.

IMPACTS ON PEST CONTROL

AURORA

Research has found that soil pH and nutrient levels, stratification, and spatial variability can influence herbicide activity, weed community composition, and plant diseases. For example, on the Prairies, stratification of phosphorus (P) near the soil surface favoured the growth of wild oat, wild mustard, green foxtail, redstem filaree and round-leaved mallow. Variable soil pH also impacts herbicide persistence, adsorption and mobility. The Group 2 imidazolinones

last longer in acidic soils because of reduced microbial degradation and stronger adsorption to soil particles. Another Group 2 herbicide family, the sulfonylureas, persist longer in high pH alkaline soils. Research in Alberta found that sulfonylurea persisted in alkaline soils for over five years at the 0 – 4 inch (0-10 cm) depth, which could affect sensitive crops such as lentils, alfalfa and sugar beets in subsequent years. Soil pH, stratification and spatial variability also impact disease. Acidic soils favour the development of clubroot, Aphanomyces root rot and sclerotinia stem rot. But acid soils may reduce Verticillium dahliae persistence, and may suppress take-all root rot diseases.

IMPLICATIONS FOR CROP MANAGEMENT Long-term nutrient and pH management requires assessing changes in nutrient and pH status and stratification. The use of precision agricultural technologies using zone-based approaches for soil sampling can provide insights into spatial pH differences across fields and within soil depths. Technologies such as on-the-go sensors like ‘SoilOptix’ and ‘Veris pH Manager’ can produce high-resolution soil pH maps for site-specific management. Various forms of lime material are available to raise soil pH, with the most common being agricultural limestone (CaCO3). Other materials include dolomitic limestone (CaMg(CO₃)₂), hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂), quicklime (CaO), calcium metasilicate (CaSiO₃), marl, slag from steel processing, sugar beet lime, wood ash, and dust from cement manufacturing. However, marl, wood ash, cement manufacturing dust and slag may contain trace elements and heavy metals and should be used with caution. The most cost-effective lime placement method in no-till is surface liming that increases topsoil pH, but requires more time for deeper acidic soils to be modified. Numerous research studies have found that variable-rate lime application can address spatial pH variability across the landscape. However, surface liming with incorporation, banding lime, or infrequent or one-time strategic tillage may be required to address vertical pH stratification.

Safeguarding Cereals Against Allergens Tip #4: Store Your Crop Properly Taken from keepitclean.ca on September 1, 2026

aintaining a reputation for clean, safe grain is essential for both domestic and international markets. Shipments contaminated with allergenic grains can lead to costly rejections, recalls and long term damage to market confidence. Unintentional mingling of allergenic grains with cereals is a concern for export markets and must be actively managed. Certain crop types can be allergen sources in our export markets. When these crops are unintentionally mixed with cereals, they can pose serious food safety and market access risks. Common allergen sources in grain exports include: • Mustard • Soy • Buckwheat Buckwheat is considered highly allergenic, and even very small amounts mixed into wheat, barley or oats can cause severe reactions in some markets. Because of these risks, many export markets apply strict limits for allergenic material in cereal shipments.

HOW ALLERGENS CAN CONTAMINATE GRAIN Allergen contamination most often occurs through shared equipment and handling systems rather than in the field. Common sources include: • Residues left in combines, grain carts or augers after harvesting allergenic crops • Trucks, rail cars or containers previously used to haul other grain types • Shared storage bins without thorough cleaning • Mixing grain lots during handling or transport Without careful cleaning and transportation, allergenic material can remain in equipment and be carried into subsequent cereal deliveries.

UNRESERVED FALL CONSIGNMENT SALE 2026

Effective allergen control starts with planning and disciplined handling practices.

THOROUGH EQUIPMENT CLEANING If allergenic crops have been harvested, dedicate extra time to cleaning combines grain carts, trucks, conveyors and storage bins before handling cereals such as wheat, barley or oats.

SEGREGATION DURING STORAGE AND TRANSPORT • Use separate storage bins for allergenic and non allergenic crops whenever possible • Ensure trucks and rail cars are thoroughly cleaned before loading cereals especially if they previously carried mustard, soy or buckwheat

DOCUMENTATION AND COMMUNICATION • Maintain detailed records of crop rotations, storage bin use and cleaning procedures, where practical • Talk to your grain buyers about your rotations, storage systems and handling practices Clear documentation and communication help buyers manage risk and protect market access. Contaminated shipments can lead to costly rejections, recalls and risks to industry credibility.

FAQS How can allergens contaminate grain? Allergens can contaminate grain through unintentional mingling during harvest, storage or transport. Residues in equipment bins, trucks or rail cars are the most common sources of contamination. Why are allergens a concern for exports? Export markets must protect consumer health and often enforce strict limits on allergenic material. Even small amounts can result in shipment rejection, recalls or loss of buyer confidence. How can I prevent allergen contamination? You can reduce allergen risk by thoroughly cleaning equipment, avoiding comingling of crops during storage and transport, keeping clear records and communicating with grain buyers about handling practices.

Beyond Dirt: Can You Restrict Who Owns Your Land In The Future? Alle M. Carter, Lawyer, CLH Law/CLHbid.com, Farmer, Peace Country

“

y land will never be sold to the neighbour Karen.” It is a sentiment I hear on occasion from Sellers. Perhaps the neighbour has been a thorn in their side for the last 30-plus years. Maybe the neighbour married the Seller’s old girlfriend, keeps seeding ten feet over the property line or their cows have been in the Seller’s crop one too many times. Whatever the reason, they never want the neighbour to own their land. The entire basis of the sentiment is emotion over logic. In the end, yes, they pick a certain buyer and sell to that buyer, but they cannot then prevent that buyer from selling to the neighbour years later or even the next day at a significant profit. A long-standing principle in property law is known as Restraint on Alienation. In simple terms, it means when you transfer land to someone, you cannot make it a binding term of that sale that the land cannot at some point be owned by certain individuals. The ability to freely sell the land is part of what comes with ownership of the land. The courts have described the right to freely alienate (sell, gift, lease etc.) land as fundamental to fee simple ownership. In other words, you cannot give someone complete ownership of your land with a caveat on the sale that restricts future ownership by a certain person, race or religious sect.

Let me paint you a picture, I specifically remember the day an older gentleman came up to me at a farm show and told me that a few years prior, he was selling the farm and refused to deal with his neighbour, despite the fact that they were likely one of the most motivated buyers for his land. He ended up selling to someone else. Fast forward four years, the purchaser moved away and sold it to the neighbour he was unwilling to deal with at a huge profit. This gentleman proceeded to explain, , “I didn’t need the additional money, it wasn’t going to greatly impact my life at this age, however, I could have maybe put my name on the local arena or given back to the community.” He regretted the sale and said he wished he could’ve been removed from having to choose who purchased his land. The gentleman may have walked away with part of his pride intact, but it was really his buyer that came out ahead by flipping the land for a significant lift. The rule against restraint on alienation doesn’t mean a Seller cannot retain certain rights back, such as options to repurchase or rights to lease back. Often such contracts between Buyer and Seller and are registered by way of caveat to give notice to the world that any Buyer takes title subject to the contract. Also there can be more far-reaching restrictions on land that bind

all future owners and these restrictions are then said to ‘run with the land,’ as opposed to contracts between the Seller and Buyer. These restrictions tied to the land itself as opposed to just contractual between Buyer and Seller must be negative in nature to be valid. They cannot purport force any new owner to do certain positive acts. For example, a rancher with a feedlot may decide he wants to build an entirely new state of feedlot on another quarter. He doesn’t want the former feedlot he intends to sell to be used as a feedlot to compete with him. In such case he or she can register a restrictive covenant against the quarter being sold and in favour of the new quarter. The result being the old feedlot quarter is sterilized as to be used by any future buyer for a feedlot forever. Whether you are selling land today or deciding what happens to it after you die, be careful about allowing grudges, fear or the desire for control to override economics, common sense and fairness. It may be the person you don’t want to own your land is the very person to bid it up but never gets it in the end. Taking that very person out of the mix may result in a Seller shooting himself in the foot if that person would have been the second bidder or if the buyer merely turns around and flips the land to that person the day after in any event.

From Tubs to TMR: Pros And Cons Of Mineral Delivery Strategies For Beef Cattle Beefresearch.ca, August 27, 2026

• Free-choice systems work best when minerals are always available, so feeders must be monitored regularly. • Dominant cows may guard the feeder, reducing intake opportunities for timid animals, heifers or young cattle. • Not all animals visit the feeder consistently, leading to unpredictable mineral status across the herd. • When cattle are offered salt from other sources, they’re less motivated to consume free-choice minerals.

FREE-CHOICE MINERAL TUBS

✅ Pros:

FREE-CHOICE LOOSE MINERAL

✅ Pros:

❌

• Custom mineral blends can be created to match the specific nutrient profile of local forages or feed ingredients, helping correct deficiencies and more precisely balance the diet. • After initial placement, mineral delivery generally requires only periodic replenishment and visual checks, making it a practical option for operations with limited labour availability. • It provides flexibility across seasons, forage conditions and production stages allowing changes to formulation without major changes to management routines. Cons: • Wind and rain can blow away or leach minerals, and cattle may spill or waste products through pawing or knocking over feeders.

❌

• Mineral tubs are often formulated and structured to hold up against rain, snow and wind, helping prevent leaching, hardening or physical loss of product. • They require less day-to-day labour compared to loose mineral systems. This makes them particularly valuable on operations where labour is limited. • Tubs are well-suited for remote pastures or areas with limited accessibility. • When these tubs contain added protein, they become an effective tool for supporting cattle grazing mature, low-quality forage. Cons: • These products generally come with a higher cost per animal compared to loose mineral. • Since mineral tubs rely on set commercial formulations, it’s harder to precisely match mineral content to specific forage conditions, regional deficiencies or herd-specific needs.

roviding the right minerals at the right time is one of the most impactful— and often underappreciated—parts of beef cattle nutrition. Today, there is a wide range of delivery options to choose from, each with its own advantages, limitations and cost implications. Common mineral delivery methods include: • Free-choice dry, loose mineral • Mineral tubs • Inclusion in a total mixed ration (TMR) • Injectable minerals • Mineral boluses Because the “best” option depends on factors such as forage quality, management style, herd size and production goals, understanding advantages and limitations of each approach is essential.

Northern Horizon, September 11, 2026 37

• Limited ability to include high levels of macro minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. • Weather, product formulation and even herd dynamics can affect how quickly cattle consume the tub, leading to intakes that may fluctuate from the intended target. • Mineral tubs are durable but bulky, often requiring equipment to move them, especially across rough terrain or to remote pastures.

MINERALS FED IN A TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR)

✅ Pros: ❌

• TMRs provide the ability to precisely balance macro minerals, trace minerals and vitamins according to specific animal requirements. • It promotes uniform and predictable mineral intake across the entire herd. • Mineral levels can be easily modified in the mix to meet the needs of growing calves, lactating cows, sick animals or cattle facing environmental stress. Cons: • This mineral method requires daily delivery of feed, making it less practical for herds on extensive grazing systems or smaller operations. • It is dependent on equipment such as mixers, scales and reliable feeding infrastructure.

INJECTABLE MINERALS

✅ Pros:

❌

• Injectable products provide an immediate boost of minerals such as copper, selenium and zinc, helping correct deficiencies quickly. • Each animal receives the same controlled dose, helping to avoid the intake inconsistencies common with free-choice systems. • Injectable minerals are particularly useful when administered ahead of breeding, calving, transportation, weaning or other high-stress situations, helping ensure animals have adequate mineral status. Cons: • Injectable products typically contain a limited number of minerals, meaning some minerals will still need to be supplemented orally. • Although injectables raise mineral levels quickly, the boost is temporary. Long-term mineral status still depends on a consistent feeding program. • The precision and speed of injectables come with a premium price, making them more expensive on a per-animal basis. • Multiple treatments per year may be necessary, increasing labour demands and requiring safe working facilities to administer injections correctly.

MINERAL BOLUSES

✅ Pros:

• Boluses are designed to release trace minerals gradually—often over two to eight months—ensuring cattle maintain steadier mineral intake without daily or weekly labour requirements. • Since each animal is administered a specific amount of mineral, intake isn’t influenced by dominance issues, feeder placement, pasture quality or weather challenges. • Mineral boluses are highly effective for cattle grazing remote, rugged or extensive rangeland systems. Cons: • Although long-lasting, boluses require a larger up-front investment that may not fit every budget or management system. • Bolus application involves oral dosing tools and secure handling, which can be challenging without appropriate facilities. • Once administered, the mineral release profile is fixed, limiting the ability to respond to shifting deficiencies or increases in antagonists like sulfur or molybdenum. • While uncommon, boluses can be regurgitated out shortly after administration, leading to inconsistent supplementation unless carefully monitored. Working closely with your nutritionist, local extension specialist or veterinarian to evaluate and compare mineral delivery strategies can help to determine which best fits your operation and cattle nutrition requirements.
