he Canadian Grain Com­
mission has announced
that as of August 1, 2017,
29 varieties will no longer be
eligible for Canada Western
Red Spring (CWRS) and
Canada Prairie Spring Red
(CPSR) wheat classes. The list
(below) of 25 CWRS and four
CPSR varieties includes for­
merly popular varieties such
as Katepwa, Harvest and Kane
as well as Neepawa, which was
once the check variety for the
CWRS class.
“In an evaluation of variet­
ies against the revised quality
parameters for the CWRS and
CPSR classes, the Canadian
Grain Commission determined
these varieties do not meet the
quality characteristics of their
current designated class,” the
CGC said in a release.
It also said that it would start
a review of up to two years of
CWRS and CPSR varieties for
which more quality data is need­
ed before a decision about their
class designation. They will re­
main in their designated classes
unless the evaluation shows
they do not meet the revised
quality parameters. At least two

fields in the southwest as the
area recovers from one of Manitoba’s
largest tornadoes in recent years.
A low-pressure system that moved
in from Montana sparked the extreme
weather, which also doused the
Virden area with nearly 75 mm of rain.
Quarter-sized hail was also reported in
the Pierson region.
“Debris is being reported from
Tilston, all the way to V irden.
According to imagery and a number of
reports we received, the tornado was
on the ground for at least 2-1/2 hours,
maybe even three. This is extraordi­
nary,” said Natalie Hassel, warn­
ing preparedness meteorologist with
Environment Canada. “Tornadoes are
generally only on the ground for a few
minutes so this was quite the active
system.”
No recovery time
Area residents were still reeling from
the last bout of dramatic weather
when the twister ripped through the
area.
“We still have water in our base­
ment from the last storm we had so
we had to sit on the basement stairwell
when it started to look really bad,” said
Anne Raynor, owner of a farm that was
severely damaged in the storm. “You
see storms all the time in the paper or
on TV but you never think it’s going to
come right through your house.”
Raynor and her husband, Fred were
visibly distraught as they looked over
the devastated property they had built
over the past 50 years.
“You spend your whole life building
this and just that quickly it is all gone.
But then you remember that you could
be gone too,” said Anne. “We are very
lucky.”
Anne was born and raised on the
property, located just east of Tilston.
The couple has farmed on the prop­
erty for a number of years while rais­
ing their six children, 17 grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren.
These days the couple’s farming
consists of sheep, cattle and chick­
ens, while renting cropland to their
son-in-law.
“There is a strip about a quarter-mile
wide in my son-in-law’s cornfield that
looks as if someone cut it bare,” said
Anne. “I had 27 cattle in the corral and
after the storm the corral was com­
pletely gone. The cattle were all over

Howlett, “Given consumers’ limited knowledge of
meat-processing procedures and systems, meat
products labelled as having been born, raised, and

perceived to be safer, tastier,
and fresher than products
from Mexico.”
The authors suggest that
retailers could utilize this
information to design promotional programs, either to
boost sales of meat sourced

sumers that another country’s
standards are equivalent to
those in the U.S.
They also point out that if
the goal of the COOL legislation is to benefit consumers, then it is only partially
meeting that objective: “If
the USDA is truly striving to
help consumers make more
informed decisions, it should
consider educating con sumers about the outcomes
of its international processing system audits,” either
through more information on

Spotted wing drosophila an unwelcome
visitor to fruit farms this summer
MAFRD began monitoring for SWD in 2013 and this is the worst year yet, says provincial fruit crops specialist
BY LORRAINE STEVENSON
Co-operator staff
A
ltona-area fruit grower
Waldo Thiessen knew
what was wrong immediately when his U-pick customers started calling back
a few hours after their first
day in his raspberry patch in
mid-July.
“They said they’d started to
make jam, and, well, there was
a lot of protein (in the raspberries),” he said.
It was larvae of spotted wing
drosophila, and an “uh-oh” discovery for the Thiessens, who
promptly shut down their raspberry U-pick.
This isn’t the first time they’ve
had this tiny fruit fly that lays
its eggs in mature, healthy fruit
crops show up, but it’s the earliest, said Thiessen, executive
director of the Prairie Fruit
Growers Association.
“We were not really looking
for it at the beginning of July,”
he said. “It kind of caught us flat
footed. We had a lot of damage.”
“We” isn’t just themselves
either. Growers across Mani­
toba have been reporting the
same unwelcome visitor.
Spotted wing drosophila
(SWD) is a vinegar (fruit) fly
of East Asian origin that can
damage many crops by piercing healthy fruit and laying its
eggs. Early detection is critical
because symptoms often do not
appear until after the fruit is
harvested.
Manitoba Agriculture, Food
and Rural Development fruit
crops specialist Anthony
Mintenko said this is the worst
year yet for SWD since MAFRD
started monitoring for it in 2013.
In 2013 and again last year it
showed up in early August after
most fruit crops were already
harvested. It was also reported
only in south-central Manitoba
in areas such as the Red River
Valley and the Pembina Valley.
This year SWD has been expanding northward and westward
since the second week of July.
“This year it’s everywhere and
it’s three to four weeks early,”
said Mintenko.
“We’ve just kept finding it.
Last week it started showing up in the Brandon area, as
far west as Elkhorn, far south
as Deloraine and all the way
through Glenboro. It’s shown up
this week in Grunthal,” he said
July 30.
“It hasn’t shown up north of
the city (Winnipeg) yet, but I
suspect it will be there soon.”

using simple cider vinegar
traps, and there are a number
of insecticide options for producers to use if they’re detected
next year.
MAFRD will continue its surveillance for SWD again next
year.

OPINION/EDITORIAL
We might need
100-bushel canola
T
he Canola 100 Agri-Prize for the first
to achieve 100-bushel canola (see last
week’s issue) makes for an interesting
challenge. Despite a favourable lingering
PR image as the “Cinderella crop,” a look
at the numbers suggests canola is showing signs of middle age. A few patches in a
good growing year might even approach 80
to 90 bushels now, but the Prairie five-year
average yield from 2010-14 was 34 bushJohn Morriss
els, up just 5.9 per cent from 2005-09. In
Editorial Director
contrast, yields for boring old spring wheat
were up 15.6 per cent over the same period.
Through the Canola Council, the industry has announced a
“Keep it coming” initiative — 26 million tonnes and 52 bushels
(1.18 tonnes) per acre by 2025. But to achieve that, there would
still need to be a one-in-three-year rotation in Western Canada,
contrary to the recommended maximum of one in four. At that
level, average yields would need to more than double to 70 bushels
by 2025. At the current rate of improvement, they’ll only be at 38
bushels.
So farmers and their agronomic partners need to get to work,
especially since canola might have problems finding a home on
even a quarter of Western Canada’s 65 million crop acres over the
next few years. Some of those same agronomic partners have other
ideas for those acres. In 2003 Monsanto announced a $100-million breeding program for corn in Western Canada, saying it
could occupy eight million to 10 million acres by 2025. And as we
reported last week, Pioneer has the same idea, and has launched
six new corn hybrids for the Prairies, of which three are ultra-early.
Both those companies are also looking to introduce soybean varieties across the Prairies.
Where are those acres going to come from? Clearly, many will —
and should — come from canola. In discussing the launch of the
new corn and soy varieties, DuPont Pioneer vice-president Neal
Gutterson noted that they will give growers the option of managing
canola rotations more sustainably.
And no matter the crop — or its management practices — the
word “rotation” is one that we hear more of these days. At one time
farmers only needed to rotate crops. Today the need to rotate herbicides, insecticides and fungicides has to be factored into the rotations. In part because crops are now so heavy and high yielding,
disease pressure is higher than ever, and new diseases are emerging — especially clubroot, which is a particular threat to canola.
It’s also becoming apparent that just rotating annual crops and
their inputs may not be enough to fend off herbicide resistance, so
winter cereals and even perennial forage may need to be brought
into rotations.
So there’s going to be lots of competition for acres, and canola
yields will need to get much higher in order to reach the Canola
Council’s ambitious goals. The council and others in the industry
have been providing some excellent agronomic support to growers,
but to meet those goals, they will need to provide a lot more.
Bad rap for
dairy farmers
T
he proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement involves 12 countries representing about 40 per cent of
the world’s economy, but some of Canada’s national media
coverage would have had you believe that there is only one issue
holding it up — access to Canada’s dairy market.
The Globe and Mail was the worst offender — TPP negotiators
have done a pretty good job of keeping the talks secret, so in the
absence of details or whenever they were stuck for a column topic,
writers would fire off a piece on how Canada’s ‘overprotected’ and
‘politically powerful’ dairy farmers were the main sticking point for
the deal.
When the talks failed to meet a July 31 deadline last week, it
finally emerged that there were other issues at play, such as auto
parts and drug patents. The U.S. has done a masterful job of portraying Canadian dairy access as the main sticking point, but it
now turns out that virtually every other country opposed the U.S.
position on the length of time for drug patent protection. And
when it comes to protected agricultural markets, the granddaddy
of them all is U.S. sugar, and the U.S. was unwilling to budge on
Australian requests for more access.
Whether or not the TPP talks continue, there will be pressure
on supply management, especially for dairy. In the short term,
Dairy Farmers of Canada has been doing its best to fend off attacks
through advertisements and press releases. In the long term, one
of the best arguments is that when it comes to herd size, animal
welfare and government support, we don’t want the U.S. system.
Maintaining public support for supply management depends on
demonstrating that on all those points, our system is better.

GMO labelling may not
discourage consumers:
Vermont study
Study finds labelling actually increased
support in some demographic groups
University of Vermont release
A
new study reveals that GMO labelling would not act as warning labels
and scare consumers away from
buying products with GMO ingredients.
The five-year study of Vermont residents
focuses on the relationship between two
primary questions: whether Vermonters are
opposed to GMOs in commercially available food products; and if respondents
thought products containing GMOs should
be labelled.
Results showed no evidence that attitudes toward GMOs are strengthened in
either a positive or negative way due to
a desire for labels that indicate the product contains GM ingredients. On average
across all five years of the study, 60 per
cent of Vermonters reported being opposed
to the use of GMO technology in food production and 89 per cent desire labelling of
food products containing GMO ingredients.
Responses var ied slightly by demographic groups. For example, given a desire
for positive GMO labels, opposition to
GMO decreased in people with lower levels
of education, in single-parent households,
and those earning the highest incomes.
Opposition to GMO increases in men and
people in the middle-income category. No
changes were larger than three percentage
points.
“When you look at consumer opposition
to the use of GM technologies in food and
account for the label, we found that overall
the label has no direct impact on opposition. And it increased support for GM
in some demographic groups,” said Jane
Kolodinsky of the University of Vermont.
Proponents of the U.S. Senate-bound
bill, which if enacted would nullify
Vermont’s GMO labelling law that has yet
OUR HISTORY:
to take effect, argue that mandating labels
on foods containing GMOs is misleading, because it suggests to consumers that
GMOs are somehow risky to eat. Rep. Peter
Welch, D-Vt., co-sponsor of the Genetically
Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act, disagrees, saying, “the consumer can decide
whether he or she wants to purchase that
product. It’s the market that ultimately
decides.”
Paul Burns, executive director of the
Vermont Public Interest Research Group,
said the GMO labels were never intended
to be a warning, and that Kolodinsky’s
study demonstrates that they will not act
as such. “But they will provide important
information so that consumers who have
legitimate health or environmental concerns about GMOs can make informed purchasing decisions,” he added.
Kolodinsky said the findings provide evidence, that in Vermont, GMO food labels
would provide consumers with information
on which to base their purchasing decisions. Consumers who wish to avoid GMO
ingredients would do so, she added, and
those who either want GMO ingredients or
are indifferent can also make that choice.
“The label would not signal to consumers
that GMO ingredients are inferior to those
produced using other agricultural production methods,” she said.
“We need more evidence to determine
which position is correct,” Kolodinsky said.
“This study adds to the GM labelling evidence by showing that, in the only U.S.
state that has passed a mandatory positive
GM labelling law, the label will not act as
a ‘warning label.’ When only the label is
considered, it has no impact on consumer
opposition. And there is some evidence
that the label will increase consumer confidence in GM technology among certain
groups.”
August 1888
T
hese fine specimens of livestock were on offer in
the August 1888 issue of The Nor’-West Farmer
and Manitoba Miller . Among the topics in that
issue was a list of 27 hints for judges of livestock, such
as, “Make no scruples in discouraging a purposely
overburdened udder; remember you are appointed as
teachers,” and, “Discourage a wedgy muzzle and narrow nostrils anywhere.”
Another article suggested the use of Galloway cattle
hides as a replacement for buffalo robes, “which can
no more be got.”
According to an editorial reprinted from the Ottawa
Journal, Ontario Agriculture Minister Drury had delivered a speech in which he worried about the tendency
of “higher education” to encourage farmers’ sons to
stray off to the cities to earn their living. This was “simply one feature of the present age to materialism — to
the worship of money and self-indulgence. The rugged independence which is the glory of the farmer is
becoming less enviable to men than it used to be.”
The editorial writer took some exception, observing
that there was no reason that farmers could not live the
life of a gentleman. He suggested the problem was due
to the average farmer working harder than his hired
men, and suggested Mr. Drury encourage education
in management skills so farmers would realize “the full
value of the principle which successful businessmen
keep in view — the management for themselves, the
drudgery for others.”
The issue also reported the death at age 55 of John
Ogilvie, who had managed the branch of the family
milling company in Winnipeg.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK
Life wasn’t necessarily quite that bad
There were some better aspects of farming in earlier times, says John Beckham, who still farms near Baldur
By John Beckham
U
sually, when I read something
written by Cam Dahl, I have
a sense of irritation but his
offering in the July 30 (“Agriculture’s
best days are ahead, page 4) issue
irritated me to the point of a
response.
He starts by throwing all those
who have nostalgia for the past into
the discard. According to him, there
was nothing in farming worth mentioning prior to the advent of what
is obviously his god, namely science. I have news for him. Science
has always been part of farming, in
whatever stage it had reached in the
society of its time, sometimes good
science, and sometimes bad.
Science is merely any body of
knowledge systematized and hopefully, verified beyond mere hypothesis. Dahl makes the further outrageous statement that the farm
scene prior to his definition of science, “was filled with poverty, hardship, and reduced life expectancy.”
What absolute rubbish! My grandfather homesteaded in 1880, passed
through the experience of living in
a soddy, hauling wheat for 20 miles
with oxen, survived the ’30s and died
at age 86. And he was not unique.
After the searing experience of
the ’30s, many farmers by 1950 had
new cars and were beginning to
acquire tractors and even combines.
The early ’70s were more prosperous than any subsequent time. Dahl
writes the way many people nowadays seem to think. Anything prior to
the year 2000 is ancient history.
As one who was born at the very
dawn of the ’30s, actually put my
backside day after day on the hard
seat of a two-bottom mouldboard
plow at the age of 17, and with nothing but the nodding rumps of five
horses for my horizon and plowed
all fall, I think I am qualified to comment on the farm community of the
time, and I assure you, it was nothing
like Dahl says it was. Was there a lot
of hard, physical work? You bet there
was, and at 85, I still have the muscles to prove it. Dahl makes much
of modern farming practices, such
as zero till. Certainly, there are some
good things to say about such methods. But it cannot be classified as
being problem free.
A s I d r i v e by f i e l d s b e i n g
farmed zero till, I see large areas
“What the farm
community of my youth
was full of was people.”
taken over by foxtail barley. Zero-till
farming depends heavily on the use
of glyphosate, and it is far too soon
to classify it as being totally benign.
Indeed it, and a whole honey bucket
of other chemicals keep most farmers in a frenzy of spraying from the
time they stop seeding until they
start combining.
Finally, to the social side of Dahl’s
brave new world. I reject his assessment of the state of society, and
life, prior to the advent of “science,”
whenever he thinks that was. What
the farm community of my youth
was full of was people. In the part
of the country in which my early
years were spent, I would guess there
were two farmsteads on every section. Many could not be described as
anything but prosperous, according
to the meaning of the word in the
era it refers to. It is true, there were
no 20,000-bushel bins, no gigantic
machine sheds, no mountainous
tractors or combines, no 100-foot
sprayers or air seeders.
But there were handsome barns,
beautiful horses and lots of good
neighbours. Town, on Saturday
night, was the weekly gathering of
the community. Those little towns
are now becoming ghost towns.
Many have neither a store or a filling
station. The countryside is empty.
Many former farmsteads have been
obliterated. That the farmers left
have become paper millionaires, in
no way lessens the frantic treadmill
they occupy, to maintain the cash
flow that is required to function in
Cam Dahl’s utopia. It is interesting that he nowhere refers to some
happy representative farmer. Most of
his references are to corporations of
various kinds. The truth is, farmers
have become little more than conduits of wealth, retaining only a very
small percentage of the wealth they
produce. And I won’t even start on
the topic of the ridiculous run-up
in farmland prices, and what those
prices mean for any young person of
limited means, hoping to farm.

t’s a n i s s u e o b s e r v e r s h a v e
talked about for years. But in
recent weeks it seems to have
re a c h e d a t i p p i n g p o i n t — a t
least according to general consensus from a cacophony of
commentators.
China is slowing down. Its stock
market has fallen sharply since
mid-June and the government is
panicking, leaping into action with
a host of supportive measures like
closing some share trading for
upwards of six months.
A government halting trading is
unprecedented, and would never
occur in a more free market-oriented economy. Moreover, China
has lowered its lending rate four
times since the start of the year
and cut its reserve requirements
in an effort to boost the economy.
Despite all the drama, the actual
drop in the Shanghai compos ite does not have a significant
wealth impact on all of China.
Nevertheless, our concern is that
near-emergency measures offered
by the Chinese government may be
seen as a signal that it is no longer
able to manage GDP growth. The
concern is Chinese debt has risen
to unsustainable levels, offering
new risk to China, which has been
trying to shift its economy from
one based on exports to one led by
consumption.
China has roughly had 1.3 billion
people since it installed the “onechild policy” in the early 1970s.
The world agricultural community has been counting on China’s
huge population to be the saviour
of agriculture. But it was not until
the early 2000s that China became
a WTO member and a significant
importer of a host of commodities. This growth in Chinese import
demand correlates with China’s
rapid increase in GDP rates beginning in 2001-02. When China’s GDP
rates went from $1,000 per person to nearly $8,000 today, China’s
demand for soybeans and a host of
other commodities exploded.
The question is whether China’s
soaring per-person GDP rates can
be sustained for the next five years.
This is the issue everyone involved
with global commodity markets
should be looking at very closely.
The IMF, in its latest outlook,
projects a decline in the rate of
growth of China’s total GDP and
in per capita GDP in the coming
years. Per capita GDP is projected
to increase 7.5 per cent in 2015
and just over six per cent in 2016.
Growth will still occur, but this is
notable change from annual boosts
in income of 10-30 per cent seen
since the early 2000s.
Declining marginal economic
growth, coupled with farm policies that encourage production —
but also imports — has triggered
a huge surplus of commodities
in China, most notably in wheat
and feed grains. Chinese corn and
soymeal futures — solid agricultural indicators — have been in
retreat in recent months, with corn
having plunged some 20 per cent
since early May.
China’s growing appetite for meat
during its unprecedented rise has
been a boon to global grain and
o i l s e e d m a rk e t s, m o s t n o t a b l y
soybeans. In recent years, strong
Chinese import demand for soy has
been the only thing supporting and
driving prices higher. But discouraging signals are starting to appear.
According to the Chinese National
Bureau of Statistics, pork production in the country fell by five per
cent in the first six months of 2015.
The classic assertion that as per
capita income continues to grow
(albeit at a slower pace) and more
people come to urban areas, meat
consumption will increase likely
still holds true in the case of China.
T h e f i v e p e r c e n t d e c re a s e i n
pork production perhaps clouds
the larger picture, as some of the
decrease can be attributed to natural losses in the pork sector and
e v e n a g ov e r n m e n t - l e d c ra c k down on the Chinese tradition of
wasteful overconsumption at banquets. Pork prices have recovered
recently, and we very well may see
a recovery in pork production and
consumption over the next six to 18
months.
Still, the unsustainable growth of
recent years, along with simply too
much supply, has triggered questions surrounding China’s demand
for raw materials over the next one
to two years.
AgResource Company’s thesis
since 2012 has been that adverse
weather or much-improved Chinese
demand is needed to sustain any
lasting agricultural commodity rally.
Weather, of course, is unknown. But
increasingly it looks like China will
not be a driving factor in 2015 or
2016.

“There were a bunch of dead

years’ notice will be given before
any of these varieties are designated to another class, the CGC
said.
The changes are part of a “Canadian wheat class modernization” consultation started by the
CGC last February. During the
consultation, the Prairie Recommending Committee for Wheat,
Rye and Triticale, at its annual
meeting, changed the check varieties for Canada Western Red
Spring wheat and Canada Prairie Spring Red wheat. Changes
came into effect on Feb. 26,
2015.
CWRS check varieties now,
depending on region, include
Glenn, Carberry, Splendour, BW
965, PT 472 and PT 772. CPSR
checks are Glenn, AAC Foray,
HY537 and 5700 PR.
The CGC earlier announced
creation of an interim wheat
class for Faller, Prosper and Elgin ND wheat varieties, effective
Aug. 1, 2015. The CGC said it will
consult with stakeholders before deciding whether the class
is permanent.
A high-end EF-2
Environment Canada crews
were on the ground early on
Tuesday to begin surveying the
tornado’s path to determine
the severity of the storm.
“ We do know that a lot
of farm buildings have been
damaged on the path between
Tilston and north of Virden.
We have also seen some pavement that has been ripped up
in that same area but I don’t
have more details on that right
now but those are the things
we are looking to investigate,”
said Hassel.
Since that time Environment
Canada rated the twister a
high-end EF-2, on the EF-1 to
EF-5 scale. Winds were measured between 180 and 220 km
an hour and damage was considerable, including torn-off
roofs, snapped trees and damaged cropland.
No i n j u r i e s h a v e b e e n
reported and most damage
was contained to the Raynor
property as well as a neighbouring resident.
“It picked the big shed right
up and took it off the top of
the machinery and dropped
it again. It is wild what these
storms can do,” said Fred.
“The bright side is that nobody
got hurt. But, it is just weird
how things can just disappear.
I have never seen anything like
this.”
More than a dozen large
trees were brought down at
the Raynor residence, with six
landing on the couple’s home.
“Some of the tin on the siding has bent and we will have
to check to make sure none
of the framing is cracked. A
few people have said that
the weight and the shelter of
the trees really protected the
house,” Anne said.
A lack of power
A number of communities
within the southwest were
without power as the storm
removed miles of hydro cables
and toppled a number of
poles.
“Manitoba Hydro has done
an amazing job in getting here
and trying to get power back to
us as quickly as possible,” Fred
said. “It has put in two miles of
powerline just near us.”
He added that community
support has been a saving
grace, as more than 45 people
showed up the morning after
the storm to help take down
trees and begin the process of
rebuilding.
“Everybody has been unbelievable in offering support.
We have had people stop in
from all over. The response
has been amazing. Things like
that mean a lot and make this
whole thing more bearable,”
said Fred.
Crops throughout the Tilston, Reston and Virden areas were visibly damaged following the July 27 tornado. Photos: Jennifer Paige

Isolated events
Keystone Agriculture Producers’
District 1 representative, Bill
Campbell said that recent
extreme weather events seem
to be fairly isolated with damage varying pretty dramatically
from field to field.
“We managed to miss the
storm on Monday night but we
did get one through our area on
Sunday night,” said Campbell,
who farms near Minto. “Around
here there have been some
buildings lifted and bins
knocked over, roofs off of cattle sheds and things like that.
These storms have been pretty
spotty and even the rains have
been spotty.”
Campbell says most of the
damage in his area has been
caused by hail.
“I know my wheat and barley have some damage and the
oats will have some damage as
well. But, the canola seems to

Manitoba Agricultural Ser­

had been 380 claims across all
weather events since July 27,
with most being related to rain
or hail damage.
So far, MASC has received
1,500 claims this year, slightly

Corn market plummets after rallying to a one-year high
Faced with the realization that a weather market can end as quickly as it began,
farmers have the daunting task of figuring out when to sell
David Drozd
Market Outlook
I
t took the cor n market
three weeks to rally 75
cents per bushel and only
two weeks to plummet just as
far. When markets go down
faster than they go up, farmers may have a difficult time
taking advantage of a steep
market rally like this.
Farmers get busy and may
not have got around to checking the markets. After all, the
news was bullish, grain prices
were rising and the crop was
not in the bin, so marketing
may not have been foremost
on their minds.
However, the market does
not wait for anyone. An
opportunity to sell can come
and go at the blink of an eye,
so having a disciplined marketing plan is essential. I realize it may not be easy selling
something you don’t have,
but this is when opportunities
arise. The fact crop conditions
were deteriorating was the
reason for the weather rally.
Once the weather outlook turned more favourable
and crop conditions began
to improve, the speculative
longs in the market began
liquidating their positions.
At first they sell to take profit
and preserve capital, and as
the market falls further they
sell to limit their losses. In
this environment the market
nosedives regardless of the
news.
So faced with the realization
that a weather market can end
as quickly as it began, farmers have the daunting task of
figuring out when to sell their
grain. Far mers faced with
less-than-average production will have a much higher
break-even price per bushel,
so innately they are reluctant
to sell if the market price is
below their cost of production. However, the market
doesn’t always provide them
with the price they need to be
profitable.
In this situation emotions
run high and it becomes difficult to make a sound marketing decision. However, by
taking a disciplined approach,
which involves setting realistic
price objectives, farmers can
make the most of a difficult
situation.
Fibonacci retracement,
used in charting and technical
analysis, is an invaluable tool
for setting reasonable price
objectives.
Fibonacci retracement
Fibonacci retracement is a
method of technical analysis
for determining support and
resistance levels. It is based
on the idea that markets will
retrace a predictable portion
of a move, after which they
will continue to move in the
original direction.
After a decline, fibonacci
ratios define retracement levels, which forecast the extent
of a counter-trend bounce.
To calculate the fibonacci
retracement levels, start by
finding a significant high to
a significant low, which I’ve

illustrated as point A and B in
the accompanying chart. From
there, prices often retrace the
distance by a ratio of 23.6 per
cent, 38.2 per cent, 50.0 per
cent, 61.8 per cent, or the 76.4
per cent retracement. I tend to
focus on the 38.2 per cent, 50.0
per cent, and the 61.8 per cent
retracement.
In a declining market, the
61.8 per cent retracement is
often the most a market will
rebound before resuming the
downtrend. This area of resistance can be a good place to
make a sale.
I ’v e o b s e r v e d ov e r t h e
years these retracement levels often correspond with pre-
I M P O R T A N T N O T I C E
vious areas of support and
resistance. The 38.2 per cent
retracement level ($4.18), coincides with a previous area of
resistance at point C.
The 50 per cent retracement
level ($4.34), corresponds with
a rally high (D). The 61.8 per
cent retracement level ($4.51),
was once an area of support
(E). It is important to note that
old levels of support, once
breached, tend to become
resistance on future rallies.
This is exemplified with the
recent rally in corn.
Fa r m e r s w h o i d e n t i f i e d
the 61.8 per cent fibonacci
retracement level as an area
of resistance, took advan-
tage of the opportunity to sell
corn before the market turned
down.

VIDO-InterVac release
The Vaccine and Infectious
Disease Organization
International Vaccine Centre
(VIDO-InterVac) at the University
of Saskatchewan has received
$2.9 million from Genome
Canada to develop vaccines
against bovine TB and Johne’s
disease.
Bovine tuberculosis affects
the lungs of cattle and bison,
and wild species such as deer
and elk. It also can be transmitted to humans. Johne’s disease,
caused by a related species
of bacteria, results in chronic
inflammation of the intestinal
tract in cattle. It is a particular
problem for dairy herds, causing
the animals to sicken and sometimes die.
VIDO-InterVac researchers
and their collaborators in Canada
and Ireland aim to deliver two
new vaccines for these costly
mycobacterial diseases. The
funding, awarded through
Genome Canada’s Genomics and
Feeding the Future program, is
part of a $7.4-million project over
four years.
The researchers plan to develop and bring to market vaccines
for these costly diseases within
two years of the project’s end.

t was another quiet time for cattle sales
across Manitoba during the week ended
July 31. Three auction marts were open
for buyers, that saw just 736 head make their
way through the rings. Participants said recent
rains over the western portion of the province
helped improved pasture conditions and may
also have convinced ranchers they didn’t need
to bring their animals to auction quite yet.
Prices were fully steady, though, for the cattle that did make their way to market, according to Robin Hill of Heartland Livestock at
Virden.
“Butchers were a little stronger (due to) the
Canadian dollar being under 78 U.S. cents.
With small volumes, they probably shouldn’t
be as high as they are. But because of the dollar, Americans are putting really nice trade on
the feeder cattle,” he said.
A lot of the plainer bulls showed up last
week, according to one of the managers, who
noted the majority of the animals sold briskly.
He also said butcher cows traded $4-$5 higher
per hundredweight compared to the previous week. A lower-quality offering of Holstein
steers also drew heavy interest.
Right now, Hill said, very few producers still
have yearlings, due to strong prices offered
this spring.
“I think we’re still a month away from volumes increasing. I feel that August is going
to be very quiet with the moisture situation
pretty good in most spots.”
Virden, he noted, received in excess of three
inches of rain after a violent thunderstorm,
including a tornado, earlier in the week. Some
grain farmers reported losing barns due to
extreme winds, but Hill said most cattle producers came through OK.
“There were definitely some bins and openfront cattle sheds that were in the wrong spot.”
U.S. expansions
A market watcher said he believes the moisture Manitoba has received should allow
ranchers to hang on to their animals slightly
longer than their western counterparts will.

“I think things are a lot more active farther
west than they typically would be, because of
the drought and the pasture conditions,” said
Tyler Fulton, director of risk management for
H@ms Marketing and owner of a cattle operation near Birtle.
Fulton said he sees the path of the Canadian
dollar as the biggest short-term factor influencing cattle prices.
“What could affect even a five to seven per
cent decline in Canadian cattle prices is if we
saw the Canadian dollar pop back up to 82 or 83
U.S. cents,” he explained.
While the U.S. industry continues to forge
ahead with expansion efforts, Canadian producers are simply trying to make sure they don’t run
out of pasture.
“The biggest margin is on those younger
calves, as opposed to the grassing sector. So the
first thing that will hit the market is those yearlings, and I think we’ve definitely seen that,” he
said.
Until that happens, he said, North American
supplies will stay tight, which will keep prices
strong.
“I remain optimistic for another six months —
it may be closer to a year — after which I think
we may see some weakness.”
Longer-term pressure will come from heavier
supplies in the U.S. as animal numbers grow,
but he estimated that could take as much as two
years to really shape the market.
“I’m not convinced we’re seeing a significant
shrinking of the Canadian herd just yet,” he
concluded.

N
ew Zealand’s competition regulator
said Aug. 4 it had started legal action
against two livestock companies
and five individuals for price fixing over the
introduction of a national animal identity
tracing scheme three years ago.
The Commerce Commission said it was
alleging that PGG Wrightson Ltd., the local
unit of Australia’s Elders Ltd., and five current
or former employees of the companies, agreed
to fix prices to tag animals and raise associated
fees when the scheme was introduced.
PGG Wrightson and Elders were not
immediately available for comment.
PGG Wrightson said last month it was facing a possible fine which would be “significant but not materially price sensitive.”
PGG Wrightson, half owned by China’s
Agria, is New Zealand’s largest listed agribusiness company and has forecast a rise in
operating earnings for the year to June 30.
A mandator y animal identification
scheme was set up in 2012 to track electronically all cattle and deer from farm to
processing plant for animal health and food
safety reasons.

Canola advances ahead of
expected market weakness
Average quotes as of August 3, 2015 ($/tonne)
Prairie farmer selling is expected to add pressure
Terryn Shiells
CNSC
T
he last week of July, and of the 201415 crop year, was a volatile one for
the canola market, with prices dropping sharply on Monday and recovering
later in the week.
The week started with an $18-per-tonne
drop on Monday, followed by modest gains on
Tuesday, a mixed market on Wednesday and
advances on Thursday and Friday.
Monday’s move brought prices below the key
$500-per-tonne level, and the market struggled
to move back above it on Thursday, but staged
a late-day rally ahead of the long weekend
on Friday, bringing the two nearby contracts
slightly above $500 per tonne. Canadian markets closed for Terry Fox Day on Aug. 3 while
U.S. markets remained open.
There is potential for the canola market to
see some further weakness going forward, as
heavy farmer selling is expected at harvest
time.
With wheat prices so weak, and canola prices still in the more attractive $10- to
$11-per-bushel range, canola will be the “cash
crop” this fall, as farmers will sell canola to
make enough profit to cover their fall and winter expenses.
The long-term market outlook could also be
depressed by weakness in the global vegetable
oil sector.
In the shorter term, values could spike if the
Chicago soy market moves higher. Funds may
also start to cover their recently built large
short position after the market managed to
break and settle above key support on Friday.
Weather leading up to, and during, harvest
across Western Canada will be important for
the Canadian market, and help determine
price direction in late summer and early fall.
U.S. traders will also be watching U.S.
Midwest weather, which has seen some
improvements over the past week or two. The
return of beneficial warm, dry weather pushed
values lower during the week ended July 31.
Soybeans dropped 10 to 25 U.S. cents per
bushel, while corn was down 13 to 22 U.S.
cents.
Wheat values were also down about 12 to 22
U.S. cents, as the good weather was helping
harvest move along for winter wheat, and yield
prospects for spring wheat are nearly record
large, according to findings from a northern
U.S. crop tour.
Export demand news was also important for
all three U.S. commodities during the week.
The weekly export sales report from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture showed strong
demand for corn, wheat and soybeans.
On Friday, a fresh export sale of U.S. wheat
was announced by the USDA for an unspecified destination, which prevented further
losses in the market.
But China cancelled an order of U.S. soybeans on Friday, USDA said, which was behind
some of the week’s total losses in the soy
complex.
Going forward, the focus will remain on
weather in the U.S., with export demand,
domestic demand and weekly crop condition
reports also important for market movement.
Economic news will also be watched,
as problems in China could lead to softening demand from the country. Furthermore,
a strong U.S. dollar would make U.S. commodities more expensive on the global export
market.

Western CWRS cash bids soften
U.S. futures markets have been trending down
BY TERRYN SHIELLS,
COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA
C
anada Wester n Red Spr ing
(CWRS) wheat cash bids
across Western Canada were
we a k e r d u r i n g t h e we e k e n d e d
July 31, as the U.S. futures markets
plunged once again.
Av e ra g e Ca n a d a We s t e r n Re d
Spring wheat prices were down by
$7 to $26 per tonne over the week,
with bids ranging from about $203
per tonne in the Peace Region of
Alber ta, to as high as $217 per
tonne in Manitoba, according to
price quotes from a cross-section
of delivery points across Western
Canada.
Quoted basis levels varied from
location to location, but generally
held steady, to average about $21
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 the currency exchange rates by adjusting
the Canadian prices to U.S. dollars ($1=US$0.7645 as of July 31)
CWRS bids ranged from US$155 to
US$166 per tonne. That would put
the currency adjusted basis levels
at about US$25 to US$35 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 $33 to $46 below
the futures.
Av e r a g e C a n a d a P r a i r i e R e d
Spring (CPRS) bids were weaker as
well, with bids $4 to $7 per tonne
weaker. CPRS prices came in at
about $164 per tonne in Man­i toba,
$174 to $175 per tonne in Saskatch­
ewan, and $182 to $187 per tonne in
Alberta.
Winter wheat prices were mixed.
Values were up $2 to $6 per tonne
to $178 to $180 in Manitoba and
southern Saskatchewan, as basis levels improved enough to move prices
higher. Weakness in U.S. futures
weighed on values in other parts of
Western Canada, which were down
by $1 to $3 per tonne to $174 to $187
per tonne.
The September spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, which most
CWRS contracts in Canada are based
off of, was quoted at US$5.2350 per
bushel on July 31, down 21.50 cents
from the week prior.
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$4.9225 per bushel
on July 31, down 15 cents from last
week.
The Canadian dollar closed at
76.45 U.S. cents on July 31, which
was down about a third of a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart.

Rain garden makes wiser use of
run-off, beautifies urban areas
Rainwater capture takes the load off the drainage system, and provides lower-cost water for gardens
BY LORRAINE STEVENSON
Co-operator staff / Morden
A
s trip of newly planted
trees and shrubs on the
east side of the recreation centre in Morden might look
merely like landscaping. Wait until
it starts to rain.
Then it’s an example of how
towns and cities can also help
overland flooding and nutrient
run-off.
The site at the east side of the
Morden Access Event Centre is
the city’s first official rain garden,
installed this spring in a partnership with the Pembina Valley
Conservation District.
A rain garden is a perennial
planted area specially designed to
harvest or capture and use rainwater that otherwise runs off and
can contribute to local flooding.
At the end of Morden’s rain garden
is a 2,500-gallon (11,365-litre) tank
to serve as a gigantic rain barrel.
Over a season of summer rains,
city officials have calculated it
will collect roughly 27,000 litres
of rainwater, to be used by public
works to water all the flowers and
other trees and shrubbery around
Morden.
That’s water that doesn’t need
to come from the tap, said Cliff
Greenfield, PVCD manager.
“This is captured rainwater
they’ll be using, instead of expensive high-quality potable water,”
he said.
The other benefits of the rain
garden include groundwater
recharge, improving water quality
and increasing biodiversity and
carbon storage. It looks far better than a barren arena wall and
parking lot.
They’re one more way we can
begin to drought-proof our communities, says Greenfield, adding
it’s hoped the project will inspire
homeowners and business owners too.
Wider adoption of rain capture and rain garden projects also
means urban areas are contributing to water-management solutions rather than to the problem.
Capturing rainwater is a conservation activity urbanites can become involved with, says Pembina Valley Conservation District manager Cliff Greenfield. PHOTO: LORRAINE STEVENSON
No infiltration
through concrete
Whether they realize it or not, cities and towns play a role in both
run-off and surface water contamination, with their built-up
hard-surface areas and general
compaction that leave nowhere
for rainwater to infiltrate. Instead
it’s being sent downstream to
overload storm sewers, drainage
ditches and streams. That run-off
carries its own share of nutrients
and sediments, not to mention,
oil, gas, and heavy metals.
Adoption of ways to capture
and infiltrate water — and use it
more wisely — is a way to help
prepare for a more sustainable
future in drought-prone areas,
said Greenfield.
PHOTO: SUPPLIED
Morden was part of a Pembina
Valley-wide initiative three years
ago, when the Blue Water of 2012
looked at long-term prospects for
water demand and supply in the
region.
The three-year study of water
use and supply in municipalities in the PVCD concluded that
even though residents use significantly less water than the average
Manitoban, their frugality alone
won’t prevent a regional water
shortage by 2040. (Area residents
use about 30 per cent less water
compared to other Manitobans, or
160 litres of water a day compared
to a provincial average of 227 litres
and the Canadian average of 339.)
But if the region keeps relying
on various lakes and reservoirs,
groundwater wells and aquifers
and while increasing population,
it will run short. And prospects
of finding new water sources are
remote given the potential for a
drier century ahead, the study
said.
Morden’s rain garden is one
of a series of conservation practices the study recommended, as
well as stopping water leakage in
homes and industry, introducing
efficient appliances and changing public behaviour and practices
around water use.
Water conservation also means
a longer infrastructure lifespan
and lower costs of providing water.
In 2010 the Public Utilities
Board mandated municipalities to charge a fee on their utility bills for wear and tear on
infrastructure, and earmark the
cash in a reserve fund for future
repairs.
A practice like a rain garden
would have made perfect sense
to a previous generation whose
use of a cistern to capture water
was commonplace, say other
PVCD officials.
“Our grandparents understood
the value of water and trying to
use what resources they had to
the utmost and best use. That’s
why they had cisterns to capture
rainwater,” PVCD chairman and
Darlingford-area farmer Murray
Seymour said in a news release.
“This rain capture and rain
garden project is something we
are already doing in rural areas
with small- to medium-size
dams that hold water back and
reduce downstream flooding,
and improve water quality downstream as well,” he added.
Morden’s rain garden is
not unique, and elsewhere in
Manitoba municipalities offer
rain garden programs with
rebates to those constructing
them.
These kinds of demonstration
projects are a way conservation
districts can work with urbanites
to involve them in water management too, Greenfield said.

Try a new sandwich during August
which is ‘Sandwich Month’
julie gardenrobinson
Food and Nutrition Specialist
NDSU Extension Service
A
s I was eating a “fancy” grilled cheese
sandwich the other day at a hotel restaurant, I thought of the grilled cheese
sandwiches of my childhood. The hotel sandwich had some kind of cream sauce, about
five kinds of cheese and sliced tomatoes
inside. I paid way too much for it.
Although I usually eat almost anything,
I scraped the cream sauce to the side
because it was kind of a strange addition
that made the bread mushy. The tomatoes were a nice addition, although I would
have preferred them in soup.
When I was a kid, my favourite grilled
cheese sandwiches were made with homemade bread cut fairly thin and buttered on
the outside. We called them “toasted cheese
sandwiches,” which is common in older
cookbooks.
We cut slices of cheese from a threepound block of cheese and cooked them in
a 1950s-style electric frying pan until the
bread was crispy and light brown on the
outside. When I cut the sandwich in half
to form two triangles, the warm, melted
cheese formed long strings that stretched
from the plate all the way to my mouth.
Along with our sandwiches, we always
had tomato soup, home-canned peach
sauce and cups of homemade cocoa with
little marshmallows. We drank the steaming cocoa from special brown mugs. I guess
the cocoa was my mom’s special touch on a
simple menu.
What’s your favourite sandwich? August
is National Sandwich Month and an excellent time to try some different sandwiches.
Sandwiches have been around for centuries. Most people give John Montagu, the
fourth Earl of Sandwich, credit for naming
our popular menu item in 1765, according
to food history information at http://www.
foodtimeline.org. This busy man wanted an
easy way to eat at his desk.
By the early 1900s, sliced bread was available in American bakeries, and this made
sandwiches a portable meal.
I always thought my mother invented the
menu of grilled cheese sandwiches paired
with tomato soup. Turns out, this sandwich
combination became popular post-Second
World War in school cafeterias because the
tomato soup was the source of vitamin
C on the menu. Tomato soup and cheese
sandwiches also are easy to prepare and
the flavours work well together.

Some people like hot sandwiches and others prefer cold. Maybe you enjoy peanut butter and jelly, grilled cheese, a pita stuffed
with tuna salad, a bacon, lettuce and tomato
(BLT), a “Po Boy,” a French dip or a veggie and
cheese panini pressed in a grill. The options are
endless.
Sandwiches usually consist of bread with fillings, but some people use lettuce as the outer
layer. Save some money by bringing a sandwich to work instead of going out to eat.
Here’s how to create a sandwich with healthful ingredients:
• Begin with a whole grain base, such as whole
wheat bread, tortillas, pita bread or buns.
Whole grains provide fibre, vitamins and minerals. Try to make at least half of your grain
choices whole grains.
• Add a spread to your bread if you like. Try
some mustard, hummus, guacamole or light
mayonnaise. Go easy on the butter or regular
mayonnaise because these ingredients add
calories without much nutritional value.
• Add your favourite fillings. How about some
chicken salad made with leftover grilled
chicken? Choose lean proteins, and compare
the sodium values of deli meats using the
Nutrition Facts labels.
• Pile on the veggies and/or fruits. Add some
spinach, cucumber and tomato slices,
chopped onion or grated carrots. Try sliced
bananas on a peanut butter sandwich. Add
some dried cranberries to a chicken salad
sandwich.
• Want more inspiration? Visit https://www.
ag.ndsu.edu/food and type “7 Steps to
Creating a Sandwich” in the search box.
Check out our other resources, such as the
free online newsletter at our Nourishing
Boomers and Beyond website (https://www.
ndsu.edu/boomers).
If you regularly have sandwiches for lunch
or dinner, you can save time later by freezing
some sandwiches. However, some popular
sandwich ingredients (eggs, jelly, tomatoes,
pickles, onions, mayonnaise) do not freeze
well. Sandwiches made with peanut butter,
cooked meats (chicken, roast beef, turkey),
shredded hard cheese (cheddar, Swiss) and
canned meats (tuna, salmon) freeze well.
Add fresh veggies and toppings right before
eating.
You can prepare the sandwiches and place
them in zip-top freezer bags. Be sure to label
the bags with the contents and date. Next,
freeze the sandwiches in a single layer on a
tray. When solidly frozen, place the individual
bags in a larger freezer bag and freeze. Thaw
the sandwiches in your refrigerator and enjoy.
Here’s a tasty sandwich my students tried in
our food lab. They were a hit, and you can use
fresh local produce from farmers’ markets or
your own garden.
Thai Chicken Wraps
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 oz. Thai peanut sauce
8 whole wheat tortillas
4 c. lettuce, shredded
2 large carrots, cut into thin strips or julienne
1 cucumber, seeds scraped out, cut into strips
4 tbsp. cilantro leaves
4 to 8 tbsp. peanuts, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pound the chicken, until flat, in a
zip-top bag or between two pieces
of plastic wrap. Season chicken
with salt and pepper, then grill
or sauté until done. Slice into
thin strips. Lay a whole wheat
tortilla on a cutting board. Add
lettuce, chicken pieces, carrot
and cucumber strips and cilantro
leaves. Drizzle on a good amount
of peanut sauce, then sprinkle on
some peanuts. Season with salt
and pepper to your liking. Roll up
the tortilla tightly, slice in half and
serve.

Combating garden pests — Part 2
Home remedies to aid in the fight
By Albert Parsons
Stran Dunham credits his parents
for his love of the sport
Freelance contributor
B
esides good cultural
practices, gardeners can combat pests
in the garden without using
synthetic chemicals by creating some homemade remedies. These concoctions are
effective; they just take a bit
of time and effort to make.
They are, however, pesticides
— albeit natural ones — and
will kill beneficial insects as
well as pests, so they should
be used judiciously and only
on the plants suffering an
infestation.
Many gardeners use commercially produced insecticidal soap and many home
remedies are similar in that
they contain a natural insecticide, water, and either mineral oil and/or dishwashing
soap as the ingredient that
allows the remedy to stick
to the insects and kill them
by smothering. The simplest
recipe is: add 1-1/2 teaspoon
of liquid dish soap to 2 litres
of water; mix well and spray
on intended targets. Most of
these natural remedies are
contact insecticides and the
liquid must come into direct
contact with the insect to kill
it.
A pyrethrum-based remedy can be made by soaking
some crushed, dried pyrethrum flowers in water and
using the resulting liquid as
a spray.
Another effective insecticide uses garlic. Combine 2
tablespoons of finely crushed
garlic with 2 teaspoons of
mineral oil, 1/4 teaspoon of
liquid dish soap and 1/2 litre
of water. Strain and store in
a tight-lid container. Use 4
tablespoons of the concoction in 1 litre of water to create an effective spray.
Ni c o t i n e - b ased insecticides also work well. Soak 1/4
cup of tobacco (tobacco from
old cigarette butts works
fine) in 1 litre of water; add
a couple of drops of liquid
dish soap and strain. Use the

mixture as a soil drench to
combat slugs, root maggots
and fungus gnats or spray on
the foliage of infested plants.
The spray should not be used
on the edible parts of plants.
The tomato is a member of
the nightshade family, whose
members are often poisonous. Make a spray to combat
aphids by soaking 1 cup of
crushed tomato leaves in 1
cup of water. Strain the mixture and add another 1/4 cup
of water and use as a spray.
A mixture of 2-1/2 cups of
strong coffee with 1 cup of
liquid derived from soaking 1
cup of crushed yarrow leaves
in 1 cup of water will produce
another home remedy. A few
drops of dish soap added
to the strained mixture will
allow the liquid to adhere to
the insects.

Old coffee grounds scattered on the carrot row will

For waging war against
slugs: soak 1 cup of crushed
artemisia (silver mound will
do) in 1 litre of water for a day
or so. Add 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap and strain. Use
1 part concentrate and 4 parts
water and spray it on the soil.
Do not spray plants with this
as it may damage them.
In the fight against insect
pests, keep in mind that close
observation and diligence
will go a long way in preventing serious infestations. If
lily leaf beetles or Colorado
potato beetles are found in
the garden, hand-picking the
adults and leaves that have
eggs on their undersides will
effectively control the invasion. An infestation of aphids
can often be terminated by
spraying the affected plants
with a strong jet of water
from the garden hose. Handpicking slugs in early morning and placing traps or
boards under which they will
gather will assist you in controlling these awful pests.
Remember — prevention and
early intervention are key
to controlling insects in the
garden.

tran Dunham — a rookie
in the Junior High division of the Manitoba
High School Rodeo Association
(MHSRA), had his excitement
for ropes and rodeo carved
into him, thanks to his parents,
Sheena and Kevin Dunham of
Souris.
His mom was among the
first high school rodeo competitors from Manitoba to
cross over into Saskatchewan
in the early 1990s, and made
the team going to Oklahoma
City to compete in the
National High School Rodeo
Finals.
“I’m very proud of my mom
and dad, as they both have
competed at high school, amateur and professional rodeos
in their events of barrel racing,
tie-down roping and team roping,” said Dunham. “Thanks
to them rodeo is a blessing in
which I have grown up around
and now, as a Grade 7 student
at Hartney, am able to compete
in a number of boy’s events.”
Those events don’t only
require a lariat (breakaway
roping, ribbon roping and
team roping), but also quick
hands with goat tying being his
favourite.
Stran Dunham has a passion for goat tying.
“At this level, striving to do
my personal best, I find goat
tying to be a lot of fun,” said
Dunham. “Rodeo allows me
the chance to hook up and
compete with friends my own
age.
“I h a v e t w o f a v o u r i t e
competitors — my dad, a
p a s t C a n a d i a n C ow b oy s
Association champion and
Tuf Cooper, a world champion tie-down roper,” said
Dunham.
By watching his parents
cherish the sport of rodeo,
Dunham has come to realize that rodeo is more than
an athletic event. It’s a show
that allows camaraderie to
be developed between participants, personal goals to be
made and met, and a lifestyle
that highlights an impression
of the western heritage.
Education on roping and
riding has come through his
parents, but other points
in life’s lessons and sports
involvement come from
teachers and coaches.
Dunham is an all-around
athlete, involved in hockey,
baseball and badminton.
He is also an avid outdoor
sportsman, involved in hunting, trapping, and fishing.

Stylish, affordable entertaining
Decorating for a special event doesn’t have to be expensive
CONNIE OLIVER
Around the House
M
y husband and I recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, and our decorating
ideas were stylish and affordable that
could be used for any special event.
Invitations
I didn’t want to invite guests by
email or text to this event. At the dollar store I found a wedding invitation
set embossed with a silver design. It
included invitations with silver-lined
envelopes, programs, and place cards
on good-quality paper for $3. I printed
on the invitations on my computer in
a light-grey (silvery) font, and used the
programs to print photos of us over the
years, which went on each dinner table.
If you don’t find what you’re looking for
at the dollar store check out a local thrift
store. There are often unopened packages of party invites for various events.
People often buy more than they need
and end up donating new packages to
the thrift store. You can also purchase
decorative printer paper and use your
computer to create a great invitation.
Tables
If you are using a large rented room
you’ll want the tables to be dressed in
a similar fashion. I used round plastic
tablecloths from the dollar store — not
very heavy — but once all of the tables
were draped they did the trick. If you’re
entertaining a smaller affair at home, use
linen cloths if you have them and they fit
the event. Even items like inexpensive
white shower curtain liners could work.
You’d have to trim off the top grommets/
holes and put the curtains briefly in the
dryer to get out the fold marks.
Centrepieces were created from items from the
thrift store and silver lids from take-out food
containers.
Centrepieces
For centrepieces I collected 25th anniversary dishes from the thrift store
for a few months prior to the party
and put a tea light inside each one. I
placed these centrepieces on a silver
disc, which were actually takeout food
lids! (Anything silver was fair game.)
Around some of the centrepieces I
draped vintage silver necklaces, which
I also found at the thrift store for a few
dollars. Any decorative items you have
on hand could work, such as old jewelry, Christmas decorations (silver balls
and bells for a 25th celebration), small
game pieces or children’s toys for a baby
shower.
For a wedding or baby shower use
vintage matching teacups and saucers
in a mix of patterns and styles, place a
fresh flower or tea light in each, and set
on a paper doily.
I happened to find a few bags of silver,
star-shaped confetti at the thrift store,
which I also put around some of the
centrepieces for our anniversary.
Another fun idea is to use large mason
jars filled with water and pussy willow
branches. Mason jars can be found in
Plastic tablecloths were purchased from the dollar store as well as the cards on the table. PHOTOS: CONNIE OLIVER

$40 on all of these items, and

to the thrift store once the
party was over.
abundance at the thrift store and you
don’t have to worry about needing lids.
Use food colouring in the water if you
have a specific colour scheme in mind.
Guest book table
For our party I bought a leftover roll of
silver foil wrap at the thrift store and
used it to drape the guest book table. In
the centre of this table I placed a large
ceramic Hershey Kiss-shaped dish that
I bought at a second-hand shop for 10
bucks and filled it with silver Hershey
Kisses. The dish sat on a silver tray that
I got — you guessed it — at the thrift
store.
We had a light lunch including punch
served in a punch bowl from the thrift
store. At the dollar store I purchased a
plastic, silver ladle to serve the punch. I
found silver-accented paper plates, cups
and napkins at the dollar store that went
with the theme. We had coffee and tea
and I just happened to find a creamer,
sugar bowl and tray set with a 25th anniversary on it at the thrift store. Sugar
cubes with silver tongs from the dollar
store finished the look.
At the thrift store I also bought 25th
anniversary silver balloons and a new
seven-foot silver anniversary banner to
help with the decorations.
I might have spent $30 to $40 on all
of these items, and I donated the dishes
back to the thrift store once the party
was over.
Entertaining friends and family can be
an enjoyable endeavour. Plan ahead and
start gathering items. You’d be surprised
what you can find once you have an idea
in mind, and I proved that it doesn’t have
to be expensive.

Co-operator barn
series revival
Do you know this barn?
I
f you do, a Manitoba historian wants to hear from you. In early
1981 the Co-operator worked with provincial Manitoba Historic
Resources Branch staff to photograph and publish a series on rural
buildings in Manitoba. Each week a photo and a story were published
about why each of the buildings were rare or unusual.
Now Gordon Goldsborough, webmaster and journal editor with the
Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is looking for Co-operator readers’
help to relocate these barns. He has looked for them during road trips
in rural Manitoba, but because the site’s location details are scant, he
has been unable to find them. He wants to include the buildings, with
their GPS co-ordinates on a map of historic sites being prepared for the
MHS.
This photograph was taken by now-retired Co-operator editor Bob
Hainstock who took the photo in the 1980s for the earlier project. Many
of the photos were eventually included in Hainstock’s 1986 book Barns
of Western Canada: An Illustrated Century.
We are including the original “caption” that ran with his photo, hoping a reader can answer these questions:
1. Does the building still stand?
2. If so, where is it?
3. What are its GPS co-ordinates?
4. What other information can you provide on its state of preservation
or other details about its history since the original story in the 1980s?
Please send your responses to Gordon Goldsborough at:

Like either barns or people of a similar vintage, this structure starts to show its age by changing colour “up top.” In this case, the
telltale rusting of shingles has become fairly general after 65 years of rapidly changing climate and dry-set conditions. Built by David
McNaughton in 1916, the 80x54-foot barn carries enormous storage capacity for livestock feed. McNaughton came to the district
in 1889 and took over property from a mortgage company. He later became a substantial farmer in the district, with the village of
Brookdale built on former McNaughton land. The large loft area could hold sufficient feed to winter 100 head of cattle. The cathedrallike upper level shows the strong 8x8-inch beams which frame the barn and were railed to the area from Fraser Valley, B.C. According
to original records, the estimated cost of the barn in 1916 was about $3,000. John D. Ramsay currently owns this farm which is little
more than a cream can’s throw north of the village. 16

W
hile this summer’s
weather hasn’t been
the easiest to figure
out, the weather models have
been doing a pretty good job
of getting the big picture right.
This was the case once again
for last week’s forecast as the
upper low stalled out over
Hudson Bay as expected, and
brought cooler air and afternoon clouds to at least eastern
regions over the weekend.
This forecast looks to continue with the slightly coolerthan-average temperatures, as
the general upper-level flow
remains out of the northwest. Weak high pressure will
be in place to start this forecast period, bringing plenty of
sunshine along with daytime
highs in the low 20s. As this
high slides off to the east we’ll
see a bit of a rebound in the
upper-level ridge on Thursday
and Friday that should allow
warmer air to move in. An area
of low pressure is also forecast
to overtop this ridge, bringing increasing clouds along
with some showers and thun-
dershowers. The best chances
for measurable rain look to be
late Friday and into Saturday
morning.
Surface high pressure
will build in later in the day
on Saturday, bringing clearing skies. These clear skies
should stick around on
Sunday and Monday, with
daytime highs expected to
be in the mid- to upper 20s.
A t r o u g h o f l ow p re s s u re
is expected to develop to
our west on Monday, which
should result in increasing
southerly winds along with a
return to more humid values.
This trough is then forecast
to push through on Tuesday,
bringing the chance of more
thunderstorms.
Looking further ahead, there
are some signs of the western upper ridge building and
pushing eastward, bringing a
return to above-average temperatures late next week.
Usual temperature range for
this period: Highs, 20 to 30 C;
lows, 8 to 15 C.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies during July as a percentage of the long-term average.
Thanks to several strong rounds of thunderstorms late in the month, a large part of agricultural Manitoba and Saskatchewan ended up seeing
above-average amounts of rain with a large area reporting more than double the average amount (dark blue). The only really dry area during July
was in far-northwestern parts of Alberta, where less than 40 per cent of average rainfall was reported.

nother month has
come and gone, so that
means it’s time to do
our monthly look back, then
look ahead to see what might
be in store for us in August.
As I pointed out at the end
of June, during the summer
months — or more specifically, our main growing season — a number of us are
interested in what’s going on
weather-wise right across the
Prairies. So, once again, I’ll
do a summary of the weather
across the Prairies, beginning
in Alberta and moving eastward, then we’ll look ahead
to see what August might
have in store for us here in
Manitoba.
The Calgary region reported
a mean monthly July temperature of 18.1 C, about 1.5
C above average. Rainfall in
this region was around 55 mm,
slightly below average. Farther
north, in the Edmonton
region, the average monthly
temperature was 17.2 C, 1.0
C above average. Rainfall was
right around average, with
about 95 mm falling during
the month.
Over in Saskatchewan it was
also a warmer-than-average
The Winnipeg region experienced aboveaverage temperatures in July and had the
highest mean monthly temperature of all of
the Prairies’ stations.
July, with Regina reporting a
mean monthly temperature
of 19.3 C, about 0.5 C above
average. In the Saskatoon
re g i o n t e m p e ra t u re s we re
about the same, with a mean
monthly reading of 19.4 C,
almost a full degree above
its average. Rainfall amounts
were fairly generous thanks
to heavy thunderstorms late
in the month. Saskatoon had
about 84 mm, around 25 mm
above average, while Regina
reported 129 mm, more than
60 mm above its long-term
average.
Now on to Manitoba where,
d e p e n d i n g o n w h e re y o u
lived, July was either perfect,
a little dry or way too wet,
thanks to several rounds of
thunderstorms. Some areas
got just the right amount of
rain from these storms and
some missed out on pretty
much every storm, while
other areas either saw way
too much from one storm or
experienced several strong
storms.
St a r t i n g i n t h e Da u p h i n
re g i o n , t h e a v e ra g e m e a n
m o n t h l y t e m p e ra t u re w a s
19.8 C, a good 1.1 C above
average. Rainfall was also
above average, with 94.9 mm
reported during the month,
about 20 mm above average. Heading down to the
Brandon region, it reported a
mean monthly temperature
of 19.2 C, about 0.7 C above
average. Rainfall was right
around average, with about 65
mm recorded. The Winnipeg
region also experienced
above-average temperatures
in July and had the highest
mean monthly temperature of
all of the Prairies’ stations at
20.2 C, about 0.5 C above the
long-term average. Like the
Brandon region, rainfall was
around average, with 65 mm
reported.
How did the different longterm forecasts measure up to
the real thing? Looking back,
it appears that it’s a pretty
close call between all the forecasts. All of the long-range
forecasts called for aboveaverage temperatures, with
only Environment Canada’s
call for near-average temperatures across extreme southern Manitoba being a little
off. Looking at rainfall, the
Old Farmer’s Almanac predicted above-average rainfall,
while the Canadian Farmers’
Almanac and Environment
Canada called for near-average amounts. My precipitation forecast called for neart o s l i g h t l y b e l ow - a v e r a g e
a m o u n t s. W h o s h o u l d b e
declared the winner? I’ll leave
it up to you to decide.
Now, on to the August forecast to see if anything has
changed from the last time
we looked at it. According to
the Old Farmer’s Almanac, our
warmer-than-average weather
will continue, but we’ll see
drier weather move in with
below-average rainfall. The
Canadian Farmers’ Almanac
calls for a warm start to the
month, with average temperatures during the second half
— which means overall it will
be near to slightly above aver-
age. Precipitation will also
be near average during the
month. Environment Canada
calls for near-average temperatures over western and central regions, with below-average readings in far-eastern
regions of Manitoba. As for
precipitation, it’s being safe
and calling for near-average
amounts.
Finally, here at the Co-oper­
ator, I am still sticking with
the prediction that the overall
pattern in which we’ve been
stuck for several months now
will continue, with a persistent western ridge and eastern trough. This means we
should continue to see the
same type of weather, with
p e r i o d s o f a b ov e - a v e r a g e
temperatures broken up by
periods of below-average conditions. The big question is
whether the warm weather
will occur more often than
the cool weather. I think we’ll
end up seeing slightly aboveaverage temperatures overall.
Precipitation, as you probably
know by now, is the hardest
part of the forecast. I’m going
to roll the dice and go with
near- to slightly below-average amounts of rain.
As usual, no matter what
ends up happening weatherwise, I hope your weather is
exactly what you need!

Potential growers get a look
at the ins and outs of growing hemp
The PCDF has been testing 10 varieties and four sites in Manitoba and two in Saskatchewan

Variety trials
PCDF grew hemp variety trials
at four locations in Manitoba in
2014, including Arborg, Carberry,
Melita and Roblin as well as two
locations in Saskatchewan.
Ten varieties were grown at
each test site, including Canda,
CFX-1, CFX-2, CRS-1, Debbie,
Delores, Finola, Joey, Silesia and
X59.
“CRS is a Genetics International
variety. It probably has the most
acres in Manitoba right now,” said
Jeffery Kostuik, diversification specialist with Parkland Crop Diversification Foundation, shed some light on industrial hemp production at
the Westman Agriculture Diversification Organization field day in Melita on July 22. Photo: Jennifer Paige
“Growth on the
marketing side is
anywhere from 20 to
40 per cent, mostly into
the American market.”

Kostuik. “Canda is a variety out of
Ontario and probably a little bit
more suited for Ontario conditions. We have had it in plots a few
years back and we just got it back
in this year as they have shown
some interest in us growing it.”
Kostuik says while there is no
official data on the X59 variety,
it has a really tight head and the
bract hangs on to the seed well,
which is good in windy regions
but is more difficult to harvest
than comparable varieties.
The Joey variety has been noted
as the highest-yielding variety in
all locations and Finola was consistently the lowest yielding.

Seeding and harvest
“Hemp would rather be seeded
late into warm soils, around 10
C. The end of May is when we are
recommending seeding,” Kostuik
said. “Hemp doesn’t like its feet
wet when it is young but once it
gets established, it is a beast and
will take a lot of moisture.”
Seeding is recommended at
half an inch and 25 pounds per
acre. Hemp is nutrient hungry
and flourishes in well-manured
fields.
There are currently no pesticides registered for hemp and in
recent years PCDF noted susceptibility to sclerotinia.
“In Roblin we are doing a seeding date trial and we found that
the later we went into the year in
seeding we were actually able to
have less incidence of sclerotinia
and they still matured at approximately the same time,” Kostuik
said.
Producers should aim to harvest hemp while the plant contains a bit of moisture, as it will

rapidly growing market
and attractive payoffs have
some producers considering diversifying into industrial
hemp production.
“Right now hemp is trading at
about 85 to 95 cents per pound.
Last year, I think the provincial
average on yield was around 1,100
to 1,200 pounds. It makes it to be
a fairly attractive crop to grow and
thus we do have more acres this
year,” said Jeffery Kostuik, diversification specialist with Parkland
Crop Diversification Foundation
(PCDF), which has been working on hemp agronomy since its
legalization in 1998.
Canada exports $40 million in
hemp products annually. They
include the grain, exterior fibre
a n d t h e i n t e r i o r by p ro d u c t ,
most commonly used for animal
bedding.
“Currently there is no real fibre
processing in Canada, so most of
the focus on hemp has been for
grain and grain has carried the
industry to what it is today. Crop
insurance has about 84 per cent
insured acres keyed in and we are
at about 20,000 acres in Manitoba
right now,” Kostuik said.
A licence from Health Canada is
required to grow industrial hemp
and testing for the narcotic compound THC may be required on
some varieties.
In 2014, there were 292 industrial hemp commercial licences
issued in Manitoba and 1,135
across Canada. Just over 27,000
acres were cultivated in Manitoba
in 2014, with the CRS-1 variety the
most commonly grown.

Black earth doesn’t mean warmer soil
Spaces went fast for this year’s Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers SMART Day

W
agons were filled to
c a p a city and then
some at the Ian N.
Morrison research farm near
Carman late last month, as
the Manitoba Pulse & Soybean
Growers held its annual SMART
Day for soybean producers and
agronomists.
“Programs like this are hugely
beneficial, especially for guys
like myself, who are just realizing that I know enough to
know that I don’t know anything,” said Rauri Qually, who is
preparing to take on his family
farm and is new to soybeans.
“Free days like this are hugely
beneficial,” he added. “I’ve
learned more here than probably what I learned in a month
at university.”
Participants were able to take
in sessions on soybean grading, weed management, iron
deficiency chlorosis, crop residue management and other
topics. They could also speak
directly with researchers and
tour test plots to see results for
themselves.

University of Manitoba graduate student Greg Bartley shared
his research on the effects of soil
preparation on yield.
“It turns out black earth doesn’t
really have much of an effect,” he
said, explaining that soil temperatures with other tillage methods,
such as strip till, or planting into
short or tall stubble, or even a
cover crop of fall rye, all result in
similar spring soil temperatures.
They also result in similar
yields, with strip till showing a
slight lead, he said.
Gil Martel farms near St. Leon
and said that information could
change the way he plants his soybeans next spring.
“It’s helpful to know that, it
certainly opens up new ideas,”
said Martel. He added the crop
to his rotation two years ago. This
season he’s got about 1,500 acres
and if things go well he may plant
more in 2016.
“The most surprising information so far today was the difference in soil temperature, that it
was the same for black soil as the
others, that was pretty surprising,” he said.
Producers observe aggregate stability during a soil demonstration at the
Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers annual SMART Day for soybean producers and
agronomists.
The idea of strip tillage also
caught the interest of Tim Johnson,
who at 13 might have been the
youngest SMART participant.
“Me and my dad were actually
talking about that with my uncle,”
he said. “We took some pictures of
the strip till today and I think we’ll
be talking about it some more.”
Johnson said he’s wanted to follow in his dad’s farming footsteps
as long as he can remember, and
asked to tag along on his first field
day a couple of years ago. This
summer he’s also working on the
family farm.”
“He’s the future,” said his father,
James Johnson.
Organizers were pleased
with the turnout, and thanked
producers for taking time out
of their busy schedules to take
part.
“We know that you have a lot
of field days to choose from,”
Manitoba Pulse & Soybean
Grow­ers production specialist
Kristen Podolsky told producers.
“So we’re glad you’ve chosen this
one.”

Higher seeding rate needed for organic soybeans
Transitioning to organic soybeans is possible with strategic planning
BY SHANNON VANRAES
Co-operator staff / Carman
I
t’s a simple question, one
that Martin Entz hopes
producers will seriously
consider.
“Why not grow organic soybeans?” he asked producers
gathered at the Ian N. Morrison
research farm near Carman late
last month for the Manitoba
Pulse & Soybean Growers’
annual SMART Day.
“So m e t h i n g f a r m e r s a re
always looking for is on-farm
diversification, so we’ve been
working with farmers to help
them shift part of their farm
operation to certified organic as
a form of diversification,” said
the University of Manitoba plant
science professor. “Doing this is
possible; it works.”
Research on organic soybean
production has been ongoing
at the site for about a decade,
and over the last eight years
the average yield has been 28.7
bushels an acre using OAC
Prudence, Entz said.
And while those yields are
lower than conventional soybeans, he added that the premiums for organic beans make the
venture worthwhile.
“The price for organic soy-

beans right now… is about $26
to $30 a bushel, depending on if
it’s food grade or feed,” he said,
adding that demand is also high.
An ongoing project backed
by the university, the Western
Grains Research Foundation
and the pulse growers’ association assists interested farmers in
transitioning a portion of their
farm to organic by providing
guidance and individual, oneon-one farm plans.
“Soybeans are our most consistent organic crop, so there
is potential here,” he said. But
he added that success requires
management practices that
might be new to producers,
such as in-row flame weeding.
Inter-row tillage is also effective
for managing weeds in organic
soybeans, he said.
“If you’re not using herbicides, the danger of wide-row
soybeans doesn’t apply,” he
explained, referring to the
development of resistant weeds
in conventional row crops. “If
you’re growing them organically,
you should use inter-row cultivation, so space them as close as
you can, while still allowing for
that cultivation.”
Effective crop rotation also
plays a crucial role in organic
soybean management, Entz
said. And while some might
think corn isn’t an option in
organic rotations, Entz told producers to think again.
Holding up a lengthy corn
plant, he said, “some of you who
grow soybeans are also interested in growing corn, and there
are corn alternatives as well.
This is actually an open-pollinated food-grade corn.”
Variety selection
Choosing the right soybean variety is also important. Student
researcher Michelle Carkner is
working to identify which varieties are best suited to Manitoba,
Martin Entz speaks about organic
soybeans near Carman. Photos: Shannon VanRaes
“And because the
price of organic
soybeans is so high,
growers can get their
money back when
they increase seeding
rates.”
Michelle Carkner
using plots at the research farm
as well as at producer sites.
“We’re still learning things
about growing soybeans conventionally, we’re learning even
more about growing organic
soybeans,” said Carkner.
Trials have looked at the effectiveness of OAC Petrel, Toma,
Tundra, Krios, Jari, Auriga,
Savannah and SK0007 plus new
and unregistered varieties in the
hopes of finding the right fit for
organics in Manitoba’s shorter
growing season.
Michelle Carkner is looking at
varieties and seeding rates for
organic soybeans.
One thing that’s become
apparent is that higher seeding rates increase yields and
decrease weed pressure in
organic beans.
“And because the price of
organic soybeans is so high,
growers can get their money
back when they increase seeding rates,” she said.
Some producers at the demonstration were concerned
about the 36-months transition
to organic, a period when crops
must be produced organically,
but can’t be sold for a premium.
Entz said that by doing a farm
plan, and looking at transition
strategies that could be managed, and Carkner agreed.
“That’s why people might
want to look at starting with
part of their farm, maybe
putting it into a green manure
first, there are ways,” she said,
adding some buyers will also
offer premiums during the 36
months to bring more organic
production online.

Soybean cyst nematode co-evolved with crop
They are tiny world travellers and Manitoba’s Red River Valley could be
the next stop on the soybean cyst nematode’s global tour
By Shannon VanRaes
CO-OPERATOR STAFF / Carman
I
n the middle of the Ian N.
Morrison research farm near
Carman, an unlikely scene is
unfolding as farmers and agronomists crowd around what looks
like an old jam jar.
“Careful, we don’t want this to
break,” Mario Tenuta stresses,
with a bit of a chuckle.
But what’s inside the tightly
sealed jar is no laughing matter.
Hidden in a tangle of soybean
roots is a tiny organism that has
the potential to become soybean
growers’ next nemesis should it
be unleashed in Manitoba.
To date, no cases of soybean
cyst nematode have been identified in the province, but the
University of Manitoba soil ecologist said it’s only a matter of
time before it arrives.
“My take-home message
is that soybean cyst nematode is geared biologically to
be with soybean and wherever
we move soybean around the
world, guess what… soybean
cyst nematode will eventually
follow, and that’s where we are
today in Manitoba,” Tenuta told
producers during Manitoba
Pulse & Soybean Growers’
annual SMART Day late last
month.
As soybeans developed in
ancient China, so too did the
nematode, he explained. And
as soybeans moved beyond the
Asian continent, the tiny pest
went with it.
“They have co-evolved, folks,
co-evolved to the point where
the soybean cyst nematode really
needs soybeans to survive,” the
soil ecologist said.
On the move since 1954
First introduced to North
America in the 1760s, soybeans
were largely considered a forage
crop until the time of the Great
Depression when other uses
were explored and promoted.
The search for better production
methods led to the importation
of soil inoculum in the 1940s and
’50s, a move that likely stamped
the nematode’s passport, ushering it onto North American soil.
It was first officially identified in
the Carolinas in 1954.
Today, soybean cyst nematode is present across the U.S.,
including in North Dakota. It’s
also found across Ontario and in
some areas of Quebec.
It can travel in soil, with birds,
on plant material and in flood
waters, making the Red River
Valley a likely place for the soybean cyst nematode to appear,
he said.
“It has been moving northward up the Red River Valley, and
it’s really well documented. In
North Dakota, they’ve followed
the progression closely, and
in the last 15 years it’s worked
its way basically into all the
soybean-growing areas,” said
Tenuta. “Canada customs are
tough to get through — they
ask about liquor and they take
my venison sausage… they do
a really good job. But they really
suck when it comes to keeping
nematodes and other pathogens
out of Canada, so the nematode
will come over.”
Rauri Qually, who farms near
Dacotah, said he’s “deeply” concerned about a possible incursion of nematodes following the
presentation.

inspection at the Ian N. Morrison research farm near Carman. Photo: Shannon VanRaes
“It doesn’t sound like we have
much of a defence against these
things,” he said, but added
that he’s still meticulous about
biosecurity, washing all equipment before it moves to a new
location.
Tenuta said that’s the right
attitude, adding that producers should keep up biosecurity,
making sure equipment coming
onto and off the fields is free of
soil, especially if it’s travelling
between farms or across borders.
As for what the soybean cyst
nematode actually does, Tenuta
said it essentially hijacks the
plant to create its own food
factory.
“The nematode life cycle goes
as follows: the female has died
and she’s packed with eggs inside
her, as that soybean root comes
up close to that dead female,
and she’s called a cyst at this
point, the eggs are stimulated
to hatch… then they migrate
towards the root,” Tenuta said.
“They poke a hole into the roots,
gain entry into that root, and
they just stick their head into the
root and just start feeding.”
Presence of the nematode can
reduce yields by as much as 20 to
30 per cent, and is often difficult
to diagnose.
Rotation and resistant
varieties
However, it can be managed
by crop rotation and resistant
varieties.
“And no, snow doesn’t count
as crop rotation,” said Dennis
Lange, a crop specialist with
Manitoba Agriculture, Food and
Rural Development.
He added that other edible
beans and some weeds can also
play host to the soybean cyst
nematode.
Gil Martel of St. Leon has only
grown soybean for a couple of
years, but said the information
was helpful, adding he’s going to
take another look at his rotation
schedule.
“It certainly gives you something to think about,” he said.
Producers will also have much
to consider when it comes to
variety selection, as even resistant varieties break down over
time, losing their effectiveness.
“I encourage growers to use
them, but it is a cat-and-mouse
game,” Tenuta said. “Because if
the soybean has restart genes,
guess what? The nematode
evolves.”

The Manitoba Co-operator | August 6, 2015
Harvest begins amid storms and spotty showers
Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development crop report for Aug. 4, 2015
Weekly Provincial
Summary
Winter wheat and fall rye harvest is underway in Manitoba.
Preliminary reports indicate
winter wheat yields range from
60 to 85 bu./acre, with low levels of fusarium-damaged kernels in harvested samples.
There are also a few fields of
spring wheat, barley and field
peas harvested last week.
Sw a t h i n g o r p re h a r v e s t
applications in the earliestseeded spring cereal fields has
started.
The majority of springseeded crops is either grain
filling or podding, with some
of the later-seeded crops finishing up flowering.
Southwest Region
A large storm system that
moved from Pierson to
Hamiota on July 27, resulted in
varying amounts of precipitation; rainfall amounts ranged
from 25 to 125 mm across
the region. The storm system
also resulted in an EF-2 tornado that tracked from south
of Tilston to north of Virden,
spending approximately three
hours on the ground. Crops
such as corn, sunflower and
oats were severely lodged
in the path of the tornado,
whereas areas farther from the
path location also sustained
heavy crop lodging. Some hail
damage in Souris, Wawanesa
and Minto areas was reported
as well.
Most winter cereals are close
to physiological maturity. Low
fusarium head blight levels in
winter wheat and low ergot
levels in fall rye continue to be
reported. Initial winter wheat
h a r ve s t h a s b e g u n i n t h e
Brandon and eastern areas of
the region, with average yields
reported.
The earliest canola fields
are at the pod-filling stage
of development. Some earlyseeded barley, wheat and oats
are also nearing maturity,
whereas late-seeded cereals
are still in hard-dough stage.
Flax fields are coming out
of flower and are experiencing some lodging due to the
recent heavy thundershowers.
Some pea harvest has begun
in the Rivers area with average to slightly above-average
yields reported. Increased levels of mycosphaerella are being
reported in later-seeded field
peas as a result of the cooler
and wetter conditions.
Lygus bugs are affecting
some sunflower stands.
Hay and pasture conditions
across the Southwest Region
continue to be variable.
First-cut hay is complete and
native hay is being harvested.
Generally, yields are 50 to 75
per cent of average.
Northwest Region
A major weather system
moving through most of the
Northwest Region over the
past week resulted in 38 to 51
mm of rain reported for most
of the area, and 101 to 152 mm
reported in the McCreary and
Ste. Amelie areas.
Cro p s i n t h e No r t h we s t
Region are reported to range
from good to poor condition.
Some of the heavier crops
lodged as a result of the heavy
rains and winds experienced
last week, particularly canola.
Approximately 10 per cent of
the winter wheat crop is in the
dough stage of development
and 90 per cent is mature.
About 10 per cent of the spring
wheat crop is at the milk stage
of growth with the remaining
90 per cent in the dough stage.
Some rye and barley has been
har vested in the southern
part of the region. Preharvest
glyphosate applications have
begun.
Canola improved significantly over the week as the
crop continues to develop
rapidly.
Crop insect pest activity
throughout the region has
been low, and producers continue to monitor crops closely
for any signs of insect pest
activity.
It is estimated that 75 per
cent of first-cut hay is comp l e t e w i t h b e l ow - a v e r a g e
yields in most parts of the
Northwest Region. Cutting of
native hay has begun.
Central Region
War m and humid weather
conditions continued in the
early week. Most areas have
adequate moisture and heavy
morning dews are common.
Unsettled conditions remain
and showers and thundershowers continue. Rainfall
amounts varied from a few
millimetres to as much as 35
mm.
Cereal crops throughout the
region look good and some
of the lodged cereal fields
have recovered to a certain
degree. However, harvest will
be a challenge in many spring
wheat fields and yield loss
of some degree is expected.
Fusarium head blight levels
appear to be much lower than
last year in both winter and
spring wheat.
Harvest of winter wheat and
fall rye has begun. Early yields
of winter wheat are reported in
the 60 to 85 bu./ac. range. Some
spring wheat is harvested.
There is a wide range in
canola development due
to the varied seeding dates.
Some canola fields have been
opened up with a swathed
round or two; the odd field has
been swathed. Many fields are
lodged due to heavy winds.
Sunflowers are flowering.
Mo n i t o r i n g c o n t i n u e s f o r
insects, and staging is being
done for fungicide application.
Sunflower beetle numbers are
low. Corn is growing rapidly.
Fields are silking with cobs
starting to form.
Soybeans continue to flower
and form pods. Some fields
are showing increasing damage due to excess moisture and
subsequent root rots.
Edible beans are flowering, and fungicide applications continue. Environmental
conditions are conducive for
white mould. Bacterial blight
is reported in cranberry and
kidney types; other varieties
can also be affected.
Di a m o n d b a c k m o t h a n d
bertha army worm trap counts
are average to low for the season. Lygus bugs are found in
canola fields, but numbers are
below threshold levels. Wild
oat plants are emerging above
the crops in patches, as are
other later-emerging weeds in
thinner areas of fields. Weed
growth is noticeable in lodged
cereal fields.
Hay harvest continues in the
Central Region but has been
difficult with the high humidity and recent rains. Greenfeed
is being cut for forage.
Eastern Region
The weather was highly variable. Cool temperatures with
drizzle alternated with sunny
weather or significant rainfall
that sometimes included isolated severe weather events.
Rainfall accumulations
ranged from trace amounts to
over 30 mm. Some isolated,
severe hailstorms occurred
in southern districts. Across
the Easter n Region, fields
continue to show evidence
of standing water and areas
where crop is drowned out and
is more prevalent in central
and southern districts.
Winter wheat is mature and
some harvesting and swathing started over the weekend.
Canola is pod filling. Soybeans
range from R3 to R5.
Across the region, the majority of hay and pasture lands
are in good condition. Haying
was back to full swing with
30 to 50 per cent of the feed
being put up. Quality is rated
as good.
Interlake Region
Precipitation and cooler temperatures were experienced
in the Interlake Region last
week. Rainfall amounts varied throughout the region.
Moosehorn received the most
precipitation with just over 40
mm. Cool temperatures moved
in with daytime highs between
20 to 25 C and nighttime temperatures dipping below 10 C.
Harvesting of winter wheat
and barley has begun. Winter
wheat crops are coming in with
reports of yields in the 65 to 70
bu./ac. range with little to no
fusarium-damaged kernels in
samples. Barley yields are ranging from 70 to 80 bu./ac. with
good quality.
Canola fields are nearly finished flowering with some
early-seeded fields starting
to show coloured seeds in the
bottom pods. Lygus bugs in
canola are being monitored as
populations are approaching
thresholds. Some spraying is
occurring in alfalfa seed fields
for weevils and lygus bugs.
Clearer weather allowed
some much-needed progress
with haying.

Prairie towns lack settlement services for immigrants
Rural Development Institute study surveyed 29 towns across Prairies and B.C.
Growing trend
BY LORRAINE STEVENSON
Co-operator staff
R
ural towns exist because
of immigration, but they
aren’t easy places for
immigrants to move into nowadays. Lack of employment or
foreign credentials going unrecognized are only part of the
problem, according to a new
report released by the Brandonbased Rural Development Insti­
tute. Newcomers go wherever
language training, affordable
housing, child care, public
transportation, and other social
supports are available, and
these are generally lacking in
smaller centres.
The study focused on 29 communities across Manitoba, Sask­
atch­ewan, Alberta and B.C., asking
questions of settlement service
agencies about what language
and other services they could offer
to help immigrants integrate.

participants from all six communities reporting they have “mixed
perceptions” of how easy it was to
settle and find work.
The report says that more could
be done even in Neepawa, where
nearly one in four (23.6 per cent)
residents is a recent newcomer
and where a wide range of settlement services is now offered.
Language skills, credential recognition and understanding
Canadian workplace culture were
cited as key to people finding
work in Neepawa.
The report defines “newcomers” as those who’ve been given
permanent resident status but
are not yet citizens, refugees
or refugee claimants, temporary foreign workers, naturalized citizens and international
students.
More immigrants are choosing to reside in rural communities and 94 per cent of the
participants reported seeing
more newcomers living in their
communities. The report says
employment is the major reason people move there, but
presence of family or ethno­
cultural community and the
lifestyle of smaller centres are
others. This work has attempted
to create an inventory of services for immigrations, with a
look where improvements can
be made, said RDI executive
director Bill Ashton.
“Despite the increase of newcomers choosing to reside in
rural areas, there is no welldocumented evidence of the
availability and types of settlement and integration services
offered to them. This research
sheds some light on the situation newcomers face when
trying to settle in rural areas,”
Ashton said.
The study included four provincial reports summarizing
findings from all communities
sampled.
Just over 37,000 new residents
made their homes between
2009 and 2013 in the 29 communities studied.
The repor t recommends
expanding settlement services
across Western Canada, and
making more people eligible for
them.
A strong settlement sector
especially in small rural communities is a key asset for the
community to attract, welcome, and retain newcomers,
and more core funding to support it is needed, the report
said.

Scholarship
available
for CTEAM
program
Two-year program
enhances
farm business
management skills
Farm Management
Canada release
The second annual Robert (Bob)
L. Ross scholarship program is
open for applications until Sept.
15. The scholarship is offered
by Agri-Food Management
Excellence (AME) in collaboration with Farm Management
Canada, Family Farms Group
and the Ross Family.
The successful recipient
will receive free tuition to
the CTEAM (Canadian Total
Excellence in Agricultural
Management) program (valued at $7,500) as well as up to
$4,000 towards travel expenses. New this year, the recipient
will also receive an extra $2,500
towards an additional farm team
member’s tuition to CTEAM or
other AME educational seminars, thanks to support from
Family Farms Group.
CTEAM provides farmers and
ranchers with the opportunity
to enhance their farm business
management skills and practices. Over two years in four
sessions, participants work with
their own farm data to develop a
strategic business plan for their
operation.
The scholarship was formed
last year in memory of Bob Ross,
a dairy farmer and passionate
farm business consultant from
St. Marys, Ontario, who lost his
courageous battle with cancer
in March 2014. Bob was instrumental in the creation of the
CTEAM program.
Last year’s scholarship was
awarded to Roger Lepp of
Riverdale Grain in Rivers, Man.

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!

The new world of ‘sustainable’ beef
Rancher Cherie Copithorne-Barnes has dealt with the movers and shakers in the sustainable beef movement
BY BRAD BRINKWORTH
Meristem Land and Science
W
ho’s driving this bus?
Amid ‘grocery wars,’
Jamie Oliver, ‘hormone
free,’ Walmart, and a storm of
related debate, this is the core
question many producers and
others in animal agriculture
have about the new swath of
expectations and ‘sustainability’ programs taking hold in the
industry and the marketplace.
One person with a unique,
up-close perspective on what’s
happening at both the ranch
and the boardroom level, is
Cherie Copithorne-Barnes,
a fourth-generation rancher
and CEO of CL Ranches, which
grazes around 28,000 acres near
Jumping Pound, just west of
Calgary.
Copithorne-Barnes grapples
daily with the practical realities of today’s rising pressures
on animal agriculture and has
also dealt directly with many of
the movers and shakers behind
initiatives at Sobeys, A&W,
McDonald’s and others.
She also has a front-row seat
to developments both nationally and internationally, through
her role as chair of the Canadian
Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.
Copithorne-Barnes spoke
at the 5th Annual UCVM Beef
Cattle Conference in Calgary in
June and offered a number of
insights.
Undercover visit
In July 2013, unbeknownst to
her, a marketing representative
of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver
posed as a member of the Sobeys
meat team out for a tour of the
ranch, asking questions about
animal welfare and videotaping
her answers.
“I thought it was a little odd
that he was adamant about seeing our feedlots, even though we
had emptied them out about the
third week of April. He wanted to
see the pens. And when we got
there one of the questions he
asked was, ‘Why would you put
all of these calves into these backgrounding pens when you have
these big, beautiful open fields?’
“I was beginning to get a bit
suspicious of the line of questioning and I said, ‘Think of
yourself being here in the middle of January when it’s 40 below,
the wind is blowing, and there’s
a foot of snow on the ground.
Where would you rather be?
In these pens with the protection of the fence, clean bedding
and adequate food, or out in the
open field, facing that wind?’”
A month later she learned the
truth about the covert mission —
Oliver’s team was evaluating beef
suppliers to help Oliver decide if
he would participate with Sobeys
on what has become the “Sobeys
and Jamie Oliver Partnership,”
a high-profile marketing initiative built around the “Certified
Humane” concept.
She may not agree with all
parts of the approach, but
Copithorne-Barnes said it’s hard
to fault Sobeys from a purely
business perspective.
Cherie Copithorne-Barnes has had a front-row seat as global giants like McDonald’s and Walmart move to selling ‘sustainable’ beef. PHOTO: MERISTEM LAND AND SCIENCE
“How do you say this was a
wrong move for Sobeys to make?
Jamie Oliver has 4.5 million
(Twitter) followers. This is a man of
incredible influence.”
‘Better Beef’
The next group to visit was A&W,
which was considering a “Better
Beef” campaign, which promises
beef with no added hormones and
steroids.
“Before A&W rolled out its marketing plan, its executives actually
took the time to come out and visit
a number of operations,” she said.
“The questions they asked were
real, genuine, and they really tried
to learn and understand. But we
all know the reality of their marketing when they rolled this program out. I am no way endorsing
the fact that to call this better beef
was responsible. Thankfully, even
they eventually started to realize
the negative impact this was having at the producer level. That’s
why you don’t see the words better
beef in the slogan anymore.”
Despite the damage caused,
again it’s hard to argue the business rationale, she said.
“A&W decided that the hormone-free concept was something its consumers were asking
for. It needed to learn how to supply it and it became the very first
national hormone-free burger
available to Canadians. Business is
business whether we like it or not.
It had to follow consumers’ dollars
and this is where A&W decided to
go.”
‘Verified sustainable’
Arguably the most important
retailer initiative is McDonald’s
pledge to begin purchasing “verified sustainable” beef in 2016, with
Canada selected for the company’s first verified sustainable beef
pilot project.
“Business is business
whether we like it or
not. It had to follow
consumers’ dollars.”
Cherie CopithorneBarnes
Copithorne-Barnes said the
inclusive and collaborative
approach McDonald’s has chosen is encouraging and arguably
the best among the big retailers.
“It’s really been a driving force
in bringing together a multi-collaborative platform in order to
ensure that sustainable beef will
be defined in a way that everybody can define and accept.”
That multi-stakeholder pro­
cess stands in contrast to the
opportunistic approaches of
some companies, she said.
“You look at one of the more
extreme examples, such as what
Chipotle in the U.S. is doing,
where it’s clear it has decided
to drive consumers’ thinking for its own gain, whether
there’s truth or not to how it is
representing things,” she said.
“McDonald’s, on the other
hand, wants to make sure that
everyone involved in this concept has a voice at the table and
it gets it right.”
This means working with the
Canadian Cattlemen’s Associa­
tion, the Canadian roundtable,
Alberta Beef Pro­d ucers, and
many other industry players. It
also includes a strong science
basis.
This shows in McDonald’s
position on antimicrobial use.
Rather than promote antibiotic
free, it supports ‘judicious decision-making.’ Bruce Feinberg,
McDonald’s global animal health
and welfare officer, has simply
stated: “McDonald’s believes that
animals deserve care and we still
support the treatment of sick
animals.”
It’s important for producers to
have clear, science-based criteria that aren’t unfairly restrictive,
said Copithorne-Barnes.
“This is more likely to happen
when industry is part of the decision-making team.”
The road ahead
Copithorne-Barnes’ take on
Walmart is an interesting one.
The company recently urged
its meat and egg supplier to curb
antimicrobial use, which garnered massive media coverage.
“The press called this absolutely earth shattering and a
game changer, which made me
laugh because it was about the
last one in the game.”
But she was still relatively
happy at where Walmart landed.
“What I was most proud of
with Walmart is that for once it
was a recommendation. Walmart
has a tendency to send out prescriptive edicts. ‘You will or else
we won’t.’ This was the first time
when it comes to a sustainability
factor that Walmart has said we
‘recommend,’ and the reality is I
think a lot of that has to do with
McDonald’s and others making a
lot of headway through the concept of collaboration.”
But there are other issues to
deal with.
“For example, I know first
hand that antimicrobials are
just the first step. We will be
facing more questions about
Ractopamine and hormones
coming up very soon.”
Bu t t h e re c e n t s i g n s o f
progress are also encouraging,
she said.
“If we can keep what we’re
doing open and transparent,
at both a national and global
level, hopefully these companies such as Walmart, Unilever,
Nestlé, that are all walking
down this path right now, will
pay attention to this and we will
have approaches we can live
with.”
It’s important for the beef
industry to work together, reach
out to consumers and retailers,
and “continually come up with
new and creative ways to influence and deliver our messages.”
Social media will be a key
part of that, but old-style communication is, too.
“One of the most productive
things I’ve been able to accomplish in the past year and a half
is to have people come out to
the ranch so I can show them
what we’re doing,” she said. “It’s
one thing to have a 400-page
document explaining what
we’re doing. It’s another if you
can see it or if I can tell you in
my own words.
“We don’t need to get complicated. Just talk about the
simple things we do every day
and why we do them. That can
go a long way.”

Bringing the advantages of hydrotherapy to your horse
It is soothing as well as therapeutic when dealing with wounds or injuries
Carol
Shwetz

Horse Health
O
If an injury is left to heal as an open wound, hosing the wound for 20 minutes daily
encourages further healing. This process can be repeated every day for weeks after
the injury depending on the wound’s progress.
ne of the most valuable
allies in the “doctor’s” kit
of every horseman ought
to be water — simple, soothing, inexpensive, and most often
readily available. The application
of water, a.k.a. hydrotherapy, to
encourage healing brings plenty
of advantages in many equine
injuries. In spite of the many
advancements in veterinary
medicine, hydrotherapy remains
a solid therapeutic modality on
the front lines of first aid treatment as well as extending benefit
into the healing period thereafter.
Veterinarians frequently counsel horse owners to cold hose
an injury for a duration of about
20 minutes. Many horse own-
ers quickly realize the benefits of
this practice and will often have
hydrotherapy well underway
even before the veterinarian has
arrived to tend to an injury.
Initially hydrotherapy serves
to cleanse an open wound of
dirt and debris. A clean wound
is not only the first step to effective healing, it is also valuable
therapy for ongoing healing.
This first step in cleaning will be
important whether the wound is
sutured or left to heal as an open
wound.
If the injury is left to heal as an
open wound, hosing the wound
for 20 minutes daily encourages
further healing. This process can
be repeated every day for weeks
after the injury depending on the
wound’s progress.
The beneficial effects of hydrotherapy extend beyond cleansing the injury. Hydrotherapy is
also remarkably effective at controlling and regulating the three

main symptoms of inflammation
— heat, swelling and pain.
These three processes are natural and functional responses to
injury, yet they can overwhelm
and slow the healing process.
Hydrotherapy appears to modulate the horse’s natural mechanisms to heal an injury by capitalizing on the stimulating effects of
improved circulation.
Both the immune system and
tissue regeneration appear to
be enhanced as well. The timely
application of cold hydrotherapy
to a laceration, blunt trauma, or
strained and/or sprained soft
tissue constricts and decreases
the permeability of blood vessels at the injury site and thus
reduces the amount of fluid
accumulation.
Cold therapy reduces the tissue’s demand for oxygen and so
limits the triggers for hypoxic
injury. Contraction of the vessels
due to the cold also encourages
the movement of fluid from the
affected area, further reducing
swelling. One of the often overlooked benefits of cold hydrotherapy is that of analgesia and pain
relief.
Invariably the afflicted site
shows noticeable improvement
and appears less painful for the
horse. Horses quickly learn to
accept and enjoy the benefits of
hydrotherapy. Owners often comment on the favourable influence
hydrotherapy will have on their
horse’s overall attitude.
There are numerous variations
on the theme of hydrotherapy.
Cold therapy is recommended
until the initial inflammation
has subsided. Once the injury
feels cool to the touch, heat can
be applied to encourage blood
circulation to the affected area.
Hosing with warm and/or tepid
water can be done if such is readily available. Hot compresses can
also be utilized to accomplish
this end. When heat is applied to
the surface of an injury it causes
the blood vessels to dilate and
increase blood flow to the site
bringing nutrients and oxygen to
the injured tissue.
Although dry heat from lamps
or heating pads can be helpful,
moist heat from compresses are
better able to penetrate deeper
into the tissues. However, if heat
is applied too early after an injury
the heat can spur undesirable
inflammation. Therefore, as a
general rule one would apply cold
if the injury is warm and/or hot
and apply heat if the injury feels
cool/cold. The change of therapy
from cold to hot can take from
days to a week depending on the
nature and severity of the injury.
Contrast baths are another
practice that can be used to
stimulate healing. An alternating
series of warm (not hot) and cold
applications are used to encourage the movement of nourishing
fluids into the affected area and
removal of stagnant fluids out of
the healing site by cycling dilation
and contraction of blood vessels.
It is important not to overlook the inexpensive nature and
extremely wide margin of safety
hydrotherapy offers. As such, it
presents strong arguments in its
favour, bringing a multitude of
advantages to horse owners when
presented with acute injuries or
wounds.

SHEEP & GOAT COLUMN
Summer auctions continue to support demand
Quality and condition continue to be factors for both sheep and goat prices
BY MARK ELLIOT
Co-operator contributor
P
roducers provided 630
sheep and goats for the
July 8 sale at Winnipeg
Livestock Auction. There was
a good selection, allowing buyers to fill their demand.
The ewe classification
was well represented. There
appeared to be no price differences between wool and hair
ewes. The apparent price differences were between young
and older ewes. Quality and
health-management practices
— which were noticeable —
played major parts in the bidding as well. Whether ewes
were sheared was not a price
factor at this sale.
A herd dispersal of Dorpercross ewes continued with
average price bidding.
The selection for rams was
ver y limited. A 235-pound
Suffolk-cross ram brought
$0.95 per pound. A 230-pound
Rideau-cross ram brought $0.90
per pound.
The heavyweight lambs
were represented by a group
of 21 114-pound Dorset-cross
and Blackface-cross lambs.
This group brought $1.95 per
pound.
T h e m a r k e t l a m b s we re
judged/viewed upon the
immediate condition by the
buyers’ bidding. Quality and
soundness brought higher
prices. There were no price
differences between wool and
hair lambs.
Demand for the feeder
lambs was strong at this sale.
A group of pastured lambs
brought $2.25 per pound. The
bidding continued with this
strong influence throughout
most of this classification.
The price ranged from $2.16
to $2.275 per pound for the
majority of the feeder lambs.
The lightweight lambs continued the high demand from
the buyers. The price ranged
from $2.07 to $2.29 per pound
for lambs in the 70-pluspound range. There appeared
to be no price differences
between the wool and hair
lambs.
Ev e n t h e l a m b s i n t h e
60-plus weight range continued some strong bidding, with
no price differences between
wool and hair lambs. The price
ranged from $2 to $2.36 per
pound.
The price ranged from $2.23
to $2.35 per pound for the
50-plus-pound lambs.
The demand for dairy goats
created some stronger bidd i n g . T h e yo u n g a g e a n d
quality characteristics of the
goats are still major issues.
Alpine-cross goat does represented the dairy selection.
There appears to be a limited
number of goats being brought
to the sales and this creates
high interest and high bidding.
However, proper health management must be shown.
The goat bucks of lower
weights and age brought higher
bids compared to older bucks.
The dairy goat buck selection
was represented by Alpinecross goats.
The goat kids are in major
demand by all buyers. This
interest keeps the bidding in
a more constant price range.
Even the lightweight goat kids
are being purchased for future
purposes. The dairy goat kids
were represented by Alpinecross and La Mancha-cross
kids.
Over the last month, the
Ont a r i o St oc k ya rd Rep o r t
showed similar traits as the
local market, with a combination of high and low
prices. However, the goat bidding/prices remain constant
throughout the month.

Stubble-burning
ban back in force
as of Aug. 1
Manitoba Agriculture,
Food and Rural Develop­
ment (MAFRD) reminds
producers who choose
to burn crop residue that
authorization is required
between Aug. 1 and Nov.
15. Authorizations are
issued daily by 11 a.m.
based on weather, mois­
ture and favourable smoke
dispersion conditions.
Night burning is banned
year round.
Producers may also
require a burning permit
if located within the city of
Winnipeg or in a burning
permit area. Permit appli­
cation forms and infor­
mation are available by
calling the toll-free infor­
mation line at 1-800-2651233. Information is also
available from MAFRD GO
offices and online at www.
gov.mb.ca/agriculture
under Quick Links.
Manitoba’s controlled
burning program is part
of the Burning of Crop
Residue and Non-Crop
Herbage Regulation. The
program was introduced
to protect public health
and safety while allowing
farmers to deal with dif­
ficult straw management
problems.
Stubble-burning regula­
tions are enforced by envi­
ronment officers and the
RCMP. Failure to follow the
regulations could result in
fines of up to $50,000.

A
FIELD
FULL
OF
BALES
IS NO LONGER THE DREADED CHORE IT ONCE WAS
The MFGA wants
to know about
your hay crop
The Manitoba Forage and
Grassland Association
says there is a wide range
of hay quantity and qual­
ity across the province this
year, and it’s asking pro­
ducers to fill out a quick
online survey to help
quantify the situation.
“We saw Mother
Nature’s influence this
year as alfalfa was at the
optimum stage in some
areas, yet the window of
cutting opportunity was
fairly narrow to enable
producers to harvest the
forage in good condi­
tion,” the MFGA says in
a newsletter. “The other
curve Mother Nature
threw at us was dry condi­
tions that slowed the crop
and delayed first cut in
the north and southwest
areas of the province.”
The MFGA said the
information will be used
in its fall and winter
eBulletins to provide an
overview of the hay situ­
ation in various parts of
the province, an indica­
tion of hay prices and
guidelines as to where
hay is available or in
demand.
Questions include dates
of first and second cuts
and whether you will have
hay available for sale this
year. A link to the survey is
on the MFGA web page at
www.mfga.net. — Staff

FARM KING ROUND BALE CARRIERS WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU
LOOK AT PICKING, MOVING AND STACKING BALES. You’ll not only
save time and money, but Farm King bale carriers are designed
to maintain the integrity of the bale, with gentle handling, even on
bales that have been left on the field through the winter season!
The strings will remain intact, from the field to the stack.
