Dewberry Chuckwagons!

Angela Mouly Reporter
Barreling around the track, chuckwagon drivers raced their hearts out in Dewberry from June 14 – 16. H av i n g h e l d r a c e s s i n c e 1976 , Dewberry came alive with chuckwagon spirit with fans cheering on their favourite drivers. With a 3-day time of 3:32:61, Todd Baptiste won the show. He had split the day money with Kris Molle on June 16 each with a time of 1:10.54, won the day money on June 15 with a time of 1:12.87, and Brad McMann won it June 14 with a time of 1:08.19. 10-Year-old Presly Bensmiller brought her one month old lamb, Lala, to share with other fans as she loves being petted. “Lala is a bottle baby; her mother had four babies and couldn’t produce enough milk for all of them. She makes a very good friend,” said Presly Bensmiller. Between drivers and outriders everyone raced hard during each heat vying for their spot at the top. On June 14,
Brad McMann had the fastest time and said, “It’s a record for me, coming from winning the last two days in North Battleford, there’s only a handful of veterans that have three day monies in a row. It’s a pretty awesome feeling to have a new achievement. It’s my 20th year racing (ponies for 16 years and my fourth year with the CPCA); it’s a great family atmosphere and competitive people.” “We’re always excited to host this event and we are thankful to everyone for coming to support it. Without the sponsors, volunteers, and people coming, we wouldn’t be able to put this on said Chuckwagon Committee member, Krystal Becker from Dewberry. Dallas Dyck has lived in Dewberry for the past 17 years and said, “If you break a horse into chuckwagons, you give them a second chance; and good horses will make a good driver look good.” Another hometown driver, Chance Bensmiller, said “I was born and raised here; it’s in my blood, and running in

front of family and friends and everyone I grew up with is huge. Chuckwagon racing is the connection between a man and a horse. We run anywhere between
65 – 70 kilometers per hour. The late, great, Vick Smith always said, ‘These horses have wings and we’re the lucky ones that get to fly behind them.’

In Loving Memory Edna Joyce Cook 1931 - 2007
Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you. We remember how you filled our home with the smell of fresh-baked cookies without knowing that you were really filling our hearts with the warmth of your love. We remember how you could fix a wound on the outside without knowing that you were really healing a hurt on the inside. We remember how you could look into our eyes and lend us an ear without knowing that you were really listenng to us with your heart. We couldn’t begin, to count the time you tolerated our moods, consoled our heartbreaks and disappointments, endured our ups and downs, listened to words confused by tears and just simply understood for no other reason Than because SHE LOVED US.
Still loved and missed by THE GIRLS and all of us. Bob, Darlene & Ken, Arlene & Darrell & Kody, Eva

Children Light Up Learning History
Angela Mouly Reporter
The Vermilion Elementary School Grade 2 students were full of excitement as they visited the Vermilion Heritage Museum on June 13. President of the Board of Directors, Jean Murie, welcomed everyone on the tour and mentioned that there were several items at the museum over 100 years old. Murie noted that although others had tried, Mr. Mills opened our safe after 41 years, and the story has now reached all over the world. Volunteer, Tom Kibblewhite, who was there at the time said, “ We were really surprised as it had been locked up for 41 years. With the lock numbered 0 – 60, Mr. Mills thought it was probably something simple, and tried the numbers 20 - 40 - 60 alternating clockwise and counter clockwise turns. It opened perfectly smooth, to reveal a
pay slip and a price check list including a mushroom burger for $1.50 and cigarettes for $1.” According to Kibblewhite, the safe is estimated to weigh 2,000 pounds and was lowered in by crane through a window in the early 1990’s. The children were the first following the viral story to pose for a photo with the safe, and Kibblewhite noted that the company who made the lock, Sergeant and Greenleaf, is still in business today (since 1857). With local history as part of their curriculum, they also saw a Stavelock home (that came in pieces on the train and were assembled at homestead locations) decorated with antique furniture, part of the tour. They had oodles of fun searching the museum’s six galleries for different items on a scavenger hunt. Full of pioneer artifacts, they learned that grass and straw were used to make soft beds to lay on, and that chores would
have included gathering water and wood. The home would have used no gas or electricity and was equipped with an oil light and lantern. Volunteers also pointed out that people would have made their own music for entertainment. The Vermilion Heritage Museum was originally the new Vermilion High School built in 1928, and was the first brick
5
structure of its kind in Alberta. In 1940, a fire struck the inside but left the brick standing. After deciding to rebuild the name changed to S.R.P. Cooper School in 1965 and it remained a school until 1982. People approached the town in 1987 with the idea of making the building a museum, and it officially opened in 1991.

Rustic Apple Tart
Dawn Hames Columnist
An apple tart can be made in a pie shell, or on a cookie sheets with pastry, that is then brought up and over about 2 inches around the edges. When making a pie, it matters what type of apples you use. Some apples will cook to a very soft texture, some will remain hard, and others will cook into the perfect apple pie. Apples that will delivers good results for apple pies or this apple tart are Golden Delicious, Gala and Pink Lady. I tested the apple called “envy” and while
it is a very good apple for eating, after one hour of cooking it was still quite hard, so it is not a good choice for this recipe. An apple tart is much like a pie, but it does not have the top pastry, so there is no steam to cook the apples. Your success will be based on the choice of apple that you select. Apples contain malic acid and tartaric acid which is known to help cleanse the liver of toxins, and pectin which also aids in the removal of toxins from our bodies. One apple supplies 30% of the daily recommend amount of fiber. Apples are shown to help regulate blood sugar, and to reduce fat in the blood. Regular intake of apples has shown to reduce both total choles-

terol and LDL cholesterol. Researchers have also found a link in the consumption of apples and the protection of the lungs, particularly from lung cancer and asthma. Apples are best eaten raw for the greatest benefit of all the nutrients. When you are cooking apples, you can keep the skin on, as that is where a powerhouse of extraordinary antioxidants are to be found. Here is another benefit; eating one to three apples a day, not only keeps excess weight away, but also aids in weight loss according to researchers at Rio de Janeiro University in Brazil, Pennsylvania State University and Florida State University. The polyphenols in apples are super beneficial for our gut bacteria, which is important to our immune system and our health. Apples are also a good source of fiber, which is also very important. With all the benefits of apples, you can enjoy this dessert, guilt free. As a word of caution, be sure that your pastry is made of lard or

butter, as these are natural fats that your body recognizes. Do not use shortening, even though it does make a light and tender crust, since it is made of fat that is the very worst type for our bodies. I hope you enjoy this delicious tart as much as I do. Rustic Apple Tart 4 large apples 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup melted butter 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 cup flour Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. You can cut the apple into thin slices, with or without the peel (your preference). In a bowl place the apples, the brown sugar, flour & cinnamon and stir until the apples are lightly covered. Pour the butter over and stir again. Pour the mixture into your prepared pastry, and it will be heaped up a bit. Don’t worry, it will bake down. Bake for 55- 60 minutes.
SCAM NOTICE If you receive a phone call with a message stating that it is Service Canada and that your Social Insurance Number has been suspended and to call back a number do not do it!! I called the number back and the guy answered Service Canada and asked for a confirmation number, when I said I didn’t have one he then asked for my name, so I gave it to him and he then asked me to tell him my Social Insurance Number for confirmation. I said oh nooooo I am not telling you that as this could be a scam and he hung up. I tried calling the number back to give him a piece of my mind and it was unanswered, definitely a scam do not fall for it.

The Prairie Sentinels Of Borradaile
Craig Baird Columnist
In the early years of the settling of the ar e a , g r a i n h au l ing involved taking c ar l oad s of gr ain to the loading platform of the railyard and getting paid for their crop. To help with the entire process, a weigh scale was put in by the municipalit y so that the farmer could weigh each load of grain and then shovel it off the car. This helped to make things a lot faster. In 1928, a covered shed arrived and was located near a new elevator that was built, called the British American Elevator with a Mr. Van Hees serving as the first ever agent. Another elevator that was built was in 1927 by the Diamond B Company with New Horning serving as the first
ever agent. This new elevator opened for business on Oct. 3 and Graham Ganton delivered the first load of grain to the elevator. O n e ye a r l ate r wa s t h e ye a r o f frozen grain, and most of the grain was used only for feed because of its poor quality. In 1929, things were very dry, and many fields were not harvested. The light crop in 1929 meant that the elevators would close in 1930 because there was not enough business. Wit h t he Great De pres si o n now beginning, grain at the elevators sold for only 18 cents a bushel. At the end of the Second World War though, things r e b o u n d e d , a n d a 4 0,0 0 0 - b u s h e l annex was built at the Pool elevator, followed by a 30,000 bushel annex at the British American elevator. In 1954 a new annex was built on the west elevator, owing to the excellent crops in the area at the time.
E v e n t u a l l y, a s l e s s g r a i n w a s shipped over rail and larger distribution centres sprang up nearby, the elevators of Borradaile faded away, like so many other elevators in countless towns on the prairies.

Well quite a while – I started when I was 3 in Mannville playing for the Golden Strikers.

4. Each team is given a colored jersey. If you had to design your team jersey, what would it look like (color, image, text, etc.)? Umm it would be white and black something fairly similar to what we have now.
5. Do you watch soccer on T.V? Who is your favourite team/player? I try to keep up with professional soccer by just checking the standings and watching games when I have time. If I had to pick a favourite team it would be Manchester City.

7. Do you practice soccer in your spare time? If so, who do you practice with? Ya from time to time - I usually practice with my brother or alone.

Cornerstone Co-op Acquires Strategic Investment
Cornerstone Co-op Submitted
VERMILION, June 14, 2019 – Cornerstone Co-op, today announces a strategic investment with the acquisition of the Solo Liquor location in Vermilion. In March, Co - op entered into an agreement to purchase the Vermilion location, subject to certain conditions, including the completion of a due diligence review, the details of the lease, and market feasibility. In the 20 + year s af ter the 19 93 privatization of the Government of Alberta liquor store, six privately operated Liquor Stores operated in Vermilion. In the last 2 years, that number has decreased to four. Solo Liquor Stores opened in the Junction 16/41 Development in Vermilion in 2017, but the Calgar y-based liquor retailer was placed in receivership on May 1st by ATB Financial. “Cornerstone is excited about providing Vermilion with a local full-service liquor store that of fers world- class customer experiences, competitive prices, and member/owner benefits,” said Cornerstone’s Liquor Division Manager, Dean Bardal. “We’re confident that owners will leverage the full potential of their Co-op membership by supporting all commodity lines we offer

to maximize their return on investment and patronage.” Cornerstone Co - op continues to grow with the goal of providing its owners with relevant, profitable businesses. Purchasing Solo Liquor at the south entrance of Vermilion, provides benefits that are significant for all owners. Cornerstone’s brand leadership, quality products, customer care, innovation and deep product knowledge will be a strong complement to the existing Cornerstone business lines. The 4th Liquor Store in the Cornerstone Co-op association will operate at 201, 4121-51 St, Vermilion, and offer local Craft Beer on tap, Wine Club events, as well as a wide variety of spirits, wines from around the world, and a 700+ sq. ft. cooler. “Doing business with your Co-op c r e at e s g o o d j o b s a n d e c o n o m i c activity close to home – just as it has since Co-op opened for business 100 years ago in this area.” said Community Engagement Coordinator, Heather MacMillan. Co-op plans to hire a Liquor Store Manager and a team of seven employees. C o r n er s to n e C o - o p i s m e m b erowned with 30,000+ members across 300 kilometers headquar tered in
Vermilion, Alberta, and currently owns and operates three liquor stores in St Paul, Elk Point, and Wainwright. Operating in eight communities – Provost, Wainwr i g ht , M an nv ill e, Ver m ili o n, Dewberry, Elk Point, St Paul, and soon Two Hills, and offering Food, Gas BarConvenience Stores, Cardlocks, Bulk Petroleum, Home & Agro Centres, Pharmacies, and Liquor Stores, the organization employs over 450 local people and suppor ts over 75 local
organizations with $100,000 in donation dollars annually, like the Vermilion Valley Lodge, 4-H, and Buffalo Trail & East Central School Divisions with the Bags for Breakfast programs. In 2018, more than $2.8 million has been allocated to owners, $1.8 million of that in cash-back, going right into the hands of the members in May.

Recycling Awareness Day
Town of Vermilion Submitted
R e c y c l i n g Aw a r e n e s s D ay w a s hosted by the Town of Vermilion’s Environment Committee on June 15, at Cornerstone Co-op Food Store and McDonald’s Family Foods in Vermilion. The annual event has been held for a number of years focussing on recycling as well as discussing other environmental topics. “Since China has banned most p l a s t i c s t h at were o n c e c o l l e c te d
many municipal collection programs have had to adjust their programs to remove these materials from the blue bag. Over the last few months we have had discussions with our contract and as of June 14, there is a ban on plastics within Vermilion’s recycling collection program,” said Derek Young. There will be information on the t o w n ’s w e b s i t e a n d s o c i a l m e d i a detailing these changes. This year’s recycle awareness day focussed on this change as it is quite significant to their program.

DID YOU KNOW 1. Alberta is home to the “Dinosaur Capital of the World.” Situated in the middle of a colossal fossil-bearing canyon in the Drumheller Valley, the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology houses more than 130,000 fossils and numerous specimens from Alberta’s badlands. In fact, Alberta is known to have one of the greatest diversities of Late Cretaceous dinosaur fossils on Earth. 2. In 2015, the southern city of Medicine Hat announced it had built enough micro homes to end chronic homelessness within its borders. 3. Instead of a key to the city, dignitaries visiting Calgary receive a white felt cowboy hat: a coveted Smithbilt, no less.
Unique Ways To Celebrate Canada Day Inspired By Our National Icons There are many ways to celebrate Canada Day and fireworks, community events and backyard barbecues are all commonly enjoyed on July 1. But if you’re looking to do something a little more unique, consider incorporating these national icons into your festivities.
THE MAPLE LEAF
While the red leaf on our flag is that of the sugar maple, there are in fact 10 species of maple that grow across the country. This Canada Day, why not plant one of these trees in your yard? Alternatively, you could simply slather some pancakes with maple syrup and call it Canadian pride. Bonus points if you serve them with Canadian bacon.
HOCKEY
While its exact origins are hotly debated, hockey as we know it today is firmly rooted in Canadian history and culture. Since your neighbourhood rink is likely closed for the season, consider playing a game of street hockey to work up an appetite for your Canada Day barbecue.
THE BEAVER
While a number of animals serve as Canadian symbols, it’s the beaver that’s most recognized as a national icon. This isn’t surprising given that our country was largely founded on trading beaver pelts. Since you probably won’t see a real beaver on Canada Day, why not indulge in a Beaver Tail pastry instead? This quintessential Canadian treat is a delicious way to celebrate our country.
Happy Canada Day!

Two Hills 4-H District Show & Sale Results
On June 3rd, the Myrnam 4-H Beef/MultiClub hosted the Two Hills District 4-H Show and Sale. All us kids were up early starting to wash, blow and finish up those last minute clippings. Members helped other members get ready for the show a great sense of true 4-H was in the air. The Willingdon club brought their multiclub displays and two Willingdon members took part in the judging class. After a hearty breakfast served and donated by Nutrien, we started the show with the 4-H pledge and O’ Canada. The stands were full of our supporters, family and friends. We did judging first, followed by the female classes and on to the market steers after lunch. The lunch was sponsored by Richardson Pioneer. At the end of the sale there were hardly any dry eyes. The kids had their last few moments with their calves and expressed their thank you to their buyers for supporting their 4-H club and recognizing their hard work. We would like to thank Kevin and Bob from B&R Eckel’s for cooking the burgers for the lunch and Donna Lopaschuk for making the potato salad. Also a few others to mention for helping make the day go on without a hitch: Connor Yackimec, Miles Wowk, M.J Wowk, Gord Misick, Sylvia Lapaschuk, Pat Yackimec, Connie Gueutal, Linda Taschuk, and Hannah Saruk. Thank you all for your help. Our sale averaged $2.81 and the pig sold for $2.30.

Pembina Pipeline Corporation Launches New Partnership With Ducks Unlimited Canada
Ducks Unlimited Canada Submitted
$1-million investment in wetland conser vation supports communities across the Prairies June 11, 2019 – Camrose, Alta. – A landmark gift from Pembina Pipeline Corporation is ensuring working landscapes across the Canadian Prairies also work for conservation. Its $1-million investment in Ducks Unlimited Canada’s (DUC) Revolving Land Conser vation Program will protect approximately 2,000 acres (809 hectares) of important wetland habitat. At the same time, communities across Alberta and Saskatchewan will benefit from a host of environmental benefits. The joint announcement was made and celebrated by Pembina and DUC at a ceremony held at one of DUC’s conservation project sites located east of Camrose. “Pembina’s generous contribution is a bold and commendable statement about the value they place on sustainability,” says Karla Guyn, CEO for DUC. “We’re fortunate to have partners like Pembina who are stepping forward as conservation leaders and responsible corporate neighbours.” DUC’s Revolving Land Conservation Program is an innovative and collaborative approach to conservation. It’s especially effective in areas like the
Prairies where demand for land is high. Through the program, DUC purchases land with high conservation value and restores the wetlands and grasslands on the property. The land is then sold back to producers with a conservation easement placed on the title. The easement protects the natural habitat, while allowing subsequent owners of the property to use the land in their operation through haying or grazing. Funds from the sale of the land provide DUC with the capital to repeat the cycle. “The revolving model allows Pembina’s support to be continually leveraged, funding conservation for years to come,” says Guyn. “It’s a powerful way to forge an environmental, economic and social legacy.” The program is also designed to keep land in the hands of private owners. It supports agricultural interests, while protecting important areas for conservation—delivering both economic and environmental wins. “Our partnership with DUC is a natural fit,” says Ian Balfour, Vice President, Gas Ser vices at Pembina. “It promotes sustainable industry practices, acknowledges a working landscape and supports local communities. We look forward to witnessing this important conservation work come to life in the backyards of our families, friends and stakeholders.” The wetland and grassland areas Pe m b i n a i s h e l p i n g c o n s er ve ar e
some of the most important ecosystems on the planet. As a result, people living in the area have much to gain. Wetlands naturally filter harmful nutrients and pollutants from water, keeping lakes and rivers clean. They reduce the effects on communities from costly and devastating floods. Wetlands also store large amounts of carbon, keeping it from being released into the atmosphere as greenhouse gas. Homes for wildlife and opportunities for outdoor recreation round out the list of impressive environmental benefits. The importance of conserving Canada’s wetlands is something Pembina has long recognized. The company’s invest ment in t he Revo lving L an d Conser vation Program builds on its past support of DUC programs at the Evergreen Learning and Innovation Centre in Grande Prairie. Here, DUC provides industry professionals with training and best practices that can be applied when operating near wetlands in Canada’s boreal forest. “Pembina is proud to play a role in equipping fellow stakeholders with the resources they need to work sustainably,” says Balfour. Pembina’s $1-million commitment to DUC will be invested over the next three years. Several Revolving Land Conservation projects in Alberta and Saskatchewan will begin this spring. About Ducks Unlimited Canada: Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is the leader in wetland conservation. A registered charity, DUC partners with
government, industry, non-profit organizations and landowners to conserve wetlands that are critical to waterfowl, wildlife and the environment. Learn more at ducks.ca About Pembina Pipeline Corporation: Calgar y-based Pembina Pipeline Corporation is a leading transpor tation and midstream ser vice provider that has been serving North America’s energy industry for over 60 years. Pembina owns an integrated system of pipelines that transport various hydrocarbon liquids and natural gas products produced primarily in western Canada.

VES celebrated Indigenous Day early this year on June 7. We were so fortunate to have Kevin John help us set up an amazing day for both students and staff. T h a n k y o u t o H e l e n J o h n (e l d e r, bannock maker), Rosa John (Keheewin Dance Theatre ar tistic director and mask maker), Melvin John (Trickster, drummer), Ivy Houle (medicine wheel teac her), Emr y John ( jingle dancer and singer), Violet Duncan (fancy shawl dancer), young dancers Mia Duncan, Manaya Duncan, Nitanis Duncan and Naiche Duncan, Arlene John and Cloee (painted feather class), and Debbie Semeniuk and Hannah Semeniuk (bannock stations). Our day started with the Keheewin Dance Company putting on a three-genera-
tional show. They told the stories of how Trickster got his gift, how Trickster lost his eyeballs, and about Trickster and the duck. In between stories, we witnessed men’s traditional dancing, jingle dress dancing, women’s fancy dancing, and hoop dancing. The whole school was on their feet dancing the round dance. Several children from our school got to try their hand at hoop dancing. After that presentation, there were several stations that the kids par took in including Indigenous games, Inuit games, feather painting, medicine wheel teachings and bannock tasting. It was another amazing day. This fall, we will be welcoming back to our staff Mrs. McLaughlin and Mrs. Throndson. In order to make room for them, we will sadly say goodbye to Miss Shaw and Miss Barlow. As we await a more formal provincial budget
this fall, we are doing the best we can under the circumstances to plan and prepare for our upcoming school year. We are doing so knowing that some adjustments may be required once the provincial budget is finalized and released. As such, a slight drop in enrollment along with what is anticipated to be a challenging budget has meant some changes for our staff. On the teaching side of things, we are unable to keep Mrs. Molsberry. As well, we have been forced to reduce our Instructional Assistants, so we have issued layoff notices to Mrs. Prill, Miss Penz and Mrs. Maier. At this time, we will also be reducing our FSL worker time in our school. Mrs. Riley will still be present in our school, but for less days. Please be aware that some of these cuts could be adjusted in the fall as the revenue to our school is heavily based on our student population at

I received this email from a friend one day. Heavens to Mergatroyd. Do you remember that word? Very few people do so I started thinking about lost words and phrases from the past. In fact, today’s spell checker does not even recognize the word “mergatroyd”. The author of the email had taken the time to write down a number of words common to the Sixties and Seventies era that are no longer used today. Jalopy as an example. It seems a lady had made a comment to her grandson about driving his jalopy and was met with a quizzical expression. What other words have disappeared from everyday usage, I wondered? There are quite a few, most of them are colloquialisms of the day. A colloquialism is a word or phrase that is used frequently in conversation, a sort of slang. Here are some “olden day” expressions that are no longer applicable today.”Don’t
touch that dial” harkens back to the days when radio and television had dials to change the channels. You actually had to get up off the chair and literally change the dial to get a new station. No remote controls back then. “Carbon copy” is another term. Although we may “cc” someone in an email, the actual making of a carbon copy is no longer a practice. Instead you either make a photocopy or simply print as many copies as is required. No messy carbon paper to line up between pieces of paper and try to roll through the typewriter. Carbon paper was a bit pricey so we would often place it in the safe at the office causing one colleague to remark to our boss one day, “Are you hoping it will turn to diamonds in a million years?” Kids today wonder why we say “hang up the phone.” Their experience with phones is entirely different and they simply push a button to end the conversation. However, many of you will remember a time when a telephone had a base and a receiver. To
end a conversation the receiver had to be placed, or hung up, on the base. Similarly, I find a gap when it comes to telling time. This age group has a habit of saying things like, “it’s quarter two”, of “half past”. This is no longer applicable in the digital age of clocks. Also the terms clockwise and counter clockwise have no meaning. Fashion terms are also part of a generation gap. Today, women wear “capris”, a term referring to pants that fall at your calf. However, there was a time when these same pants were called “pedal pushers”. The whole mergatroyd saying actually comes from the cartoon character Snagglepuss. “Exit Stage Left”, meaning to leave inconspicuously, is another Snagglepuss saying. There will be those who don’t know the famous character who was created by Hanna-Barbera. There are many more phrases that were spoken that are now considered “old fashioned” and are rarely used. Think of the words of Dave Barry, author of many
the end of September. As a result of the changes, this is what our teaching staff will look like in 2019/2020 at VES: ECS- Mrs. Throndson, Gr.1 Mrs. Long and Mrs. McLaughlin, Gr.2 - Mrs. Tupper and Mrs. Heinrich, Gr.3 - Mrs. Bast and Mrs. Tomkins, Gr.4 Miss Birch and Mr. Haslehurst, Gr.5 - Mr. Beecroft and Mr. Harvey, Gr.6 Mrs. Myshaniuk and Mrs. Joa, Music and Gr. 6 Support - Miss King, Assistant Principal and Inclusive Learning - Mrs. Doherty, Principal & K-6 PE- Mr. Anhorn. Dates to Remember: June 14-19 – Grade 6 PATs; June 20 – Kindergarten Graduation; June 21 – Grade 2 and Grade 6 Field Trips; June 25 – Track and Field Day; June 26 – AR Celebration Day and Family Picnic; June 27 – Grade 6 Farewell at 10:30; June 27 – Last Day of School for Students and Report Cards go Home

Still Time To Plan A Grazing Strategy
It Is Never Too Late To Develop A Strategic Grazing Plan For This Year’s Growing Season. “Planning allows the producer to be proactive in a situation as opposed to reactive,” explains Andrea Hanson, livestock extension specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “Producers have experienced two years of dry conditions in some parts of the province and moisture for hay fields and pastures this year has been less than adequate so feed stocks and pastures are stressed.” Hanson says that planning ensures all resources are optimized and helps to maintain control. “Decisions are set to be made quickly and thoughtfully as ‘key trigger dates’ arrive. Grazers in the drier areas know they are in the middle of the cumulative effects of the dry conditions.” “Producers need to adjust management to allow forages to build back productivity even if this year’s moisture is higher than the past couple of years. Returning subsoil moisture, plant’s root systems, and plant vigour takes time.” The plan “Most importantly, the plan needs to be documented,” explains Hanson. “As much as we think we will remember all the details of a plan, writing it down will ensure the writer and others understand where the plan is headed. It also helps encourage prompt timely actions for best outcomes.” “A number of plan templates are available that vary in detail. It is up to the producer as to how technical they want to get and whom they want to involve. Involv-
ing the family creates opportunities for creative ideas with team buy-in, using problem solving solutions. The important point is to ensure something gets documented so that if stresses happen, there is a fall back action and support to keep the arrow pointed at the goal.” Goals and objectives She says that these are just some of the questions to consider when setting the plans goals and objectives: How important is your forage to your operation? How many months do you expect or need the cows to graze? Do the cows work for you – they do the harvesting – or do you work for the cows? Do you know the cost per acre for your gazing system? What is your net return? Resource inventory and evaluation According to Hanson, developing a resource inventory and evaluation of the pastures and feeding systems are the next steps. “Know how many acres of all forages are there to work with and whether they could be used differently. Ask yourself if you looking to change your forage system by adding, or deleting.” “Consider talking to producers who have developed grazing plans different than your own, who are doing something you would like to try. As well, now is the time to become a member of your local forage or research association. They are a wealth of information with members and producers who have been there, done that, got the T-shirt.” Hanson adds to know how many head
graze those acres and the forage requirements to ensure an adequate supply. “If you do not have an adequate forage supply, revisit your goals and objectives or resource inventory. Then, decide where you are going to find additional acres to increase forage supply. If you have some acres that are not grazed effectively, could that change with a few alterations?” Cost benefit and risk assessment The next planning step considers the cost-benefit and risk assessment of grazing. Says Hanson, “Canola and some of the other cash crops likely have a higher costbenefit payout in the short-term. However, in the long-term, what is the health and sustainability of your soil?” “In almost all cases, a few years of well managed grazing will improve the land for years to come. Legumes and grass forage stands have shown positive soil improvements with higher resulting grain crop production for 10 years after being taken out of forage.” Plan implementation Hanson adds that implementation of the grazing plan comes next, followed closely by monitoring. “Turning the cattle into the pasture in midMay, checking they have water and salt and minerals throughout the summer months and pulling them at the end of August is not considered monitoring the forages effectively. While mob grazing is not a system every producer wants to consider, closer monitoring, grouping herds, and moving of the cattle will begin to change the forage species present and has the potential to increase production over time.” Plan update
Continual change is important as the pasture conditions change, Hanson explains. “The plan should be updated every time it rains, does not rain or when actions are taken. Developing that plan today should use close to last year’s forage yields as a starting point.” She uses an example, an adequate amount of precipitation falling between April and June. “Pasture growth is abundant and plants are invigorated. Then, the updated plan for July could allow for additional animals, or even more profitable may be to graze longer so winter feeding is reduced.” “On the other hand, if the rains don’t arrive by key dates written out in your plan, start culling steps to mitigate losses of grazing days. This backup plan with a culling procedure will be best in the long term and make the decision process easier when stresses are high.” Hanson adds that grazing management is more than noting the date the cattle are turned into the pasture and the date they leave. “It is about observing your livestock, forages and other resources and making the best decisions for all involved.” “A vigorous healthy pasture will bounce back quickly with compensatory growth when rains come. An overgrazed pasture, at best will improve slowly in the following year and only then with conservative grazing management.” Contact To connect with the Alberta Ag-Info Centre: Hours: 8:15 am to 4:30 pm (open Monday to Friday, closed statutory holidays) Toll free: 310-FARM (3276)

Derwent Farmer’s Day Derwent and District Agricultural Society celebrated Farmer’s Day early this year on June 7, with a crop tour and ended the day with a supper. The event was successful and enjoyed by all that attended. The Derwent and District Agricultural Society would like to thank Lorraine Jacula for organizing; Karen Romaniuk, Sue Bykowsky, Debbie Gulayec and Debbie Schafers for donating all the salads and their time in preparing for this event. Great job ladies, and Ron Wysocki for sitting at the door collecting for supper. In addition, they would like to thank the County for the school bus and Clint Jacula for driving the farmers around.
