Good yields still possible
with crops seeded soon
MAFRD’s tips to mitigate the impact of delayed seeding
By Daniel Winters
CO-OPERATOR STAFF
A
dozen farms in the Riding
Mountain Eradication
Area (RMEA) have been
put under open-ended quarantine by the Canadian Food
Inspection Agency due to
delays in testing for bovine
tuberculosis.
“Essentially, anybody who
was scheduled to test and has
not yet tested is now under
quarantine,” said federally
appointed TB co-ordinator
Allan Preston.
Preston said possible reasons for the delays could be
related to the long, cold winter, reluctance on the part of
some ranchers to run heavily
pregnant cows through squeeze
chutes, or excessively muddy
conditions due to a wet spring
and late thaw. So far, about 75
per cent of all livestock testing
is completed.
“The CFIA is adamant that all
those herds that were identified
are tested,” said Preston.
“Hopefully the grass will start
growing one of these days and
they can kick some cattle out to
pasture, but until they get the
testing completed, the cattle are
literally confined to the holding
yards and can’t go anywhere.”

S
eeding has been late from the gate
across the province, but there is
still time for yields to finish with
the front-runners, provincial extension
agronomists said last week.
Crops planted the third week of May
can still achieve close to their full yield
potential, although that potential will
decline from now on, say crop experts
with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and
Rural Development (MAFRD).
“I don’t think it’s too late to expect good
yields,” MAFRD soil fertility specialist
John Heard said during a webinar May
14. “I would maybe give up on the exceptional yields we had last year, but I’m not
saying we’re into low yields yet.”
Heard said farmers should think carefully before cutting back on crop nutrients, despite seeding a bit later than they
would prefer (see sidebar). And he said
they shouldn’t cut their seeding rate.
And if corn was in the seeding plan, it’s
still not too late, MAFRD cereal specialist
Pam de Rocquigny said May 15 during
another webinar.
“The yield potential is still there for corn
seeded into that third week of May,” she
said. “Once we get into the last week of May
we see yields drop off a little bit more. But
once again based on your risk area there
could still be some good yields out there.”
During the five years ending in 2012,
89 per cent of Manitoba’s corn crop was
planted by the third week of May and 98
per cent by the fourth week, crop insurance records show.
When seeding any crop late into cool,
wet soils, it’s important to make the best
of it, de Rocquigny said. A good seedbed is critical. Don’t “mud” the seed in or
plant in cloddy soil, she said. Cut seeding
speed to avoid seeding corn too deeply.
Ideally soil should be 10 C at planting
depth. That should allow plants to emerge
six to 10 days after planting.
Colder soils will slow emergence, leaving seedlings less vigorous and more vulnerable to disease. Seed treatments can
help protect the seed and seedlings, de
Rocquigny said.
Fields heavy in crop residue will remain
colder longer. And light-textured soils will
cool more during cold weather than heavier soils.
Seeding rates need to be adjusted so
farmers achieve the plant population
they are aiming for, she said. Germination
rates and expected plant mor tality are part of the calculation. Seeding
rates should be bumped up if crops are
expected to be under stress.
Research has shown an uneven crop
can hurt yield more than a low plant

Chinese company in
the eastern city of
Hangzhou, China has
constructed a massive inflatable dome over the site of a
closed-down pesticide factory, state media reported
May 14.
While it covers an area the
size of roughly three football
fields, the 20,000-squaremetre polyester dome still
covers less that half the contaminated zone, according to
the reports.
The factory was shut in
2009, but the stench emitted
by the soil still forces nearby
re s i d e n t s t o c ove r t h e i r
mouths and noses, according to the state media. The
cause of the odour was
not given.
Decades of unrestrained
economic growth has hit
China’s environment hard,
and anger over pollution has
triggered protests that have
helped make China’s leadership more sensitive to
the risks.
A plot of contaminated land measuring 20,000 square metres is seen
covered by a polyester fibre tent designed to reduce the smell of pesticides
in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, May 13, 2014. According to local media, the
area used to be the site of an insecticide factory. Photo: REUTERS/Stringer
Reports of contaminated
soil have become commonplace, and last month the
Environment Ministry estimated that roughly 16 per
cent of China’s soil contained
higher-than-permitted levels
of pollution.
The ministry found that
82.8 per cent of the contaminated samples contained
toxic inorganic pollutants,
including cadmium, mercury,
arsenic, chromium and lead.
Last month, China
announced its first pilot
project to treat metal pollution in soil and prevent
farmland from further contamination, but critics say
the efforts are underfunded
and inefficient.

The Manitoba Co-operator | May 22, 2014
Province sets up roundtable
group for small farmers
and processors
Needs and issues of Manitoba’s emerging ‘small-farm sector’ will be raised
By Lorraine Stevenson
co-operator staff
S
mall-scale producers are welcoming the formation of a new working group headed by the province’s
former chief veterinarian to help develop
local food-marketing chains.
“This is the venue that we hoped for,”
said Leanne Anderson, a Cypress Riverarea farmer and chair of the Harvest
Moon Local Food Initiative, which last
month ran into a snag over its online
marketing and pooled delivery of
ungraded eggs and uninspected chicken.
“The main thing is we just want to have
people like us to just have a voice.”
A g r i c u l t u re, Fo o d a n d Ru ra l
Development Minister Ron Kostyshyn
said the working group will review regulations and programs that affect the province’s burgeoning and diverse number of
smaller-scale food producers.
The group is also expected to make recommendations on how to better support
the sector’s growth.
‘Many Manitobans are seeking out food
grown and processed closer to home and
this growing market is important to farmers, processors and the provincial economy,” Kostyshyn said in a news release.
Variety of issues
The group will try to address a variety
of issues related to food safety as well
as online sales, training, production and
marketing needs and ways to enhance
the operating environment for the small
farm and processor, the release said.
Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP)
president Doug Chorney, whose family operates a vegetable stand on their
Selkirk-area farm, called the formation of
this group good news for farmers.
“As a farmer involved in direct marketing myself, I strongly support provincial
efforts that encourage producers to offer
their commodities locally and encourage Manitobans to access the top-quality
food produced here at home,” Chorney
said in a news release.
MAFRD’s retired chief veterinary officer Dr. Wayne Lees agreed to take the
helm because there is a need to recognize
the role and value of smaller-scale production. These producers need a forum
through which to raise issues affecting
them.
“I think that there’s a common misconception that agriculture
is just simply big agriculture. But there’s a lot of small- to
medium-size producers and food processors, and I think they
play a very important role in terms of providing oppportunities
for startup business, especially for young folks to get into
agriculture or processing.”

“I think that there’s a common misconception that agriculture is just simply big
agriculture,” said Lees. “But there’s a lot
of small- to medium-size producers and
food processors, and I think they play a
very important role in terms of providing
opportunities for startup business, especially for young folks to get into agriculture or processing.
Lees said small-scale agriculture is also
an opportunity for consumers to connect
with their food supply. “If they’re buying
from a local producer I think they feel
much more connected to the food they’re
eating and I think that leads to respecting
their food and where food comes from
more.”
Broader focus
Other participants in the working group
include Farmers Market Association of
Manitoba, KAP, Food Matters Manitoba,
t h e M a n i t o b a Me a t P r o c e s s o r s
Association and the Canadian Culinary
Association.
“It won’t just focus on the regulations,” Lees said. “It goes beyond
just food safety issues. It will look at
things that might impact them like, for
instance, production issues or technical issues, and what supports do
they need, like training or marketing
needs.”
Lees said he expects this to be a very
diverse group and forming it will help to
better define the size and scope of the
small-farm sector for Manitoba. “The
same solutions won’t apply to all.”
While a separate entity, the new working group will be able to contribute
to a broader consultation announced
this spring on Manitoba’s pending food
safety regulations.
The consultations organized by
M A F R D a n d t h e Ma n i t o b a Fo o d
Processors Association relate to proposed food safety regulations for foodprocessing plants, abattoirs, warehouses
and dairy farms in Manitoba.
They will be of primary interest to
those who hold an operating permit to the 489 food-processing plants
in Manitoba, said Dr. Glen Duizer, a
spokesperson for MAFRD who works in
the department’s Food Safety Knowledge
Centre.
Food safety regulations
The province passed a new food safety
act in 2009 and has since been developing the regulation which is now up for
public comment. Online comments are
being received until June 11. There are
two public consultations planned for
Winnipeg (May 27) and Brandon (28)
where changes in food safety regulations
and how they affect food-processing
plants will be discussed.
All operators in Manitoba have
received a document explaining the
new regulation and a survey asking for
feedback, and have also been invited to
attend one of two sessions, he said.
“There are others who are interested in
direct farm marketing and those types of
things, and they’re welcome to attend,”
he added. “But they’re not going to gain
a lot out of those consultations because
we’re really hoping to get into the nittygritty and what impacts a facility.”
The consultation documents and
meeting details are posted at www.gov.
mb.ca/agriculture under ‘Surveys and
Consultations.’
T
he Canadian federal and
Manitoba provincial governments are joining forces
to create a new Grain Innovation
Hub, designed to improve production, processing and value-added
options for cereals, oilseeds and
pulse crops.
The hub will include various levels of government, industry groups,
researchers, farm organizations and
other stakeholders, in a bid to solidify the province’s place as a leader
in grain research, production and
processing.
The two levels of government are
providing a combined $20 million
over five years to fund projects contained under the initiative. Industry
is expected to provide additional
monies to bring the total investment to over $33 million.
“Canada continues to be a global
leader in agricultural innovation,”
said Canadian Agriculture Minister
Gerry Ritz in a news release. “This
investment will help drive the
economy through research, development, commercialization, and
collaboration right along the value
chain, leading to increased productivity and profitability for our
producers.”
The hub will concentrate on three
specific areas:
Damp seeding conditions
• The Manitoba Corn Development
Initiative which is aimed at
increasing total corn acreage
across the province.
• The Functional Food and Feed
Opportunities Project, designed
t o h e l p t u r n Ma n i t o b a - l e d
research into commercial foodprocessing investments.
• Targeted agri-food research and
development.
Farmers in the Morden area were pressing through the rain May 12, but there’s more in the forecast.
“There is an opportunity to make
Canada a first choice for investment
in cereals research and development,” said Cam Dahl, president of
Cereals Canada.
Two projects that are already
underway in conjunction with
the announcement of the Grain
Innovation Hub, include a $1-million investment in agronomic studies on corn, as well as funding to
study the effects of different foods
on human and animal metabolism.
“By working together strategically, our grains can play a significant role in meeting the dietary and
health needs of a growing global
population, creating jobs at home
and growing the economy,” said
Manitoba Agriculture, Food and
Rural Development Minister Ron
Kostyshyn.
The province estimates 24,000
Manitobans are directly employed

OPINION/EDITORIAL
Thinking of bees
B
ees rank right up there with climate
change these days for the volume of
studies and stories that cross a farm
newspaper editor’s desk.
Sometimes the two are even linked, such
as the prediction that Africanized honeybees, which can be fatally aggressive, will
make their way north from the southern
U.S. as median temperatures rise. In fact,
this year, they’ve been found in Colorado
Laura Rance
for the first time and it’s believed they surEditor
vived the winter.
Just this week, the USDA launched a
livestream blog of honeybees at work in a rooftop apiary on
its headquarters in Washington, D.C. You can watch for yourself, at http://blogs.usda.gov/2014/05/15/see-honeybees-atwork-usda-launches-beewatch/. But truth be told, watching
bees fly in and out of a hive is about as mesmerizing as
watching corn grow. No less exciting is following the Senate
agriculture committee as it considers the decline of bees and
possible connections to neonicotinoids.
Far more interesting is watching how this issue plays out
between honey farmers and their crop-producing neighbours. On that front, it’s been gratifying to observe that for
the most part, they’ve been handling this sticky affair like
good neighbours should.
Of course, bees are getting all this attention because they
are necessary to our survival — and we’re losing them. Bees
are the prime pollinators of roughly one-third of all crops
grown worldwide.
North Carolina researchers say that for a crop such as blueberries, it’s not how many bees that matter as much as how
many kinds of pollinators. Their research shows that farmers
gain an estimated $311 per acre of fruit for each additional
bee group found in their fields.
Aside from their economic importance, disappearing bees
leave us wondering if their decline is an omen, like the proverbial canary in the coal mine. After all, the phenomenon of
colony collapse disorder (CCD), which causes bees to leave
their hives never to return, appears to be caused by several
factors related to modern farming ranging from loss of diversity, a lack of good nutrition, parasites and insecticides.
The links between bee losses and neonicotinoids appear to
be getting stronger, which is why new guidelines were issued
by the federal government last year and manufacturers have
modified the product to reduce the risk.
Pesticide manufacturers are looking into the issue too,
although their research results tend to highlight the multiplicity of issues buzzing around bee health, such as the
effects of varroa mites, and a shortage of natural forage.
One of the latest studies, this one from the Harvard School
of Public Health, found that exposure to two widely used
neonicotinoids appears to harm honeybee colonies during
the winter, particularly when it is abnormally cold.
“We demonstrated again in this study that neonicotinoids
are highly likely to be responsible for triggering CCD in honeybee hives that were healthy prior to the arrival of winter,”
said lead author Chensheng (Alex) Lu, associate professor of
environmental exposure biology at HSPH.
Contrary to earlier studies that suggested exposure to
neonics reduced bees’ ability to resist mites or parasites, the
new study found that bees in the hives exhibiting CCD had
almost identical levels of pathogen infestation as a group of
control hives, most of which survived the winter.
According to these researchers, the neonics are causing
some other kind of biological breakdown in bees that in turn
leads to CCD. In two replicated trials, bee populations in the
test hives treated with neonicotinoids showed significantly
higher rates of mortality than untreated hives, particularly
when it was cold.
Science, by its every nature is never conclusive, so we
expect the quest for a better understanding of bee losses will
continue.
But in the meantime, honey farmers and crop producers
have to figure out a way to coexist in a way that doesn’t erode
the mutual benefits of their codependance.
We applaud the efforts of organizations such as the Manitoba Corn Growers Association and the Manitoba Beekeeper
Association in developing a series of best management practices to reduce the risk of exposing bees to pesticides.
Those practices include assessing each and every time
whether an insecticide-treated seed is the right tool, or
whether another strategy such as diverse crop rotation can
reduce pest pressure.
If a producer is using an insecticide-treated seed, they are
urged to control flowering weeds prior to planting to avoid
attracting pollinators while reducing the competition for
water and nutrients. As well, provide pollinator-friendly habitat away from active fields.
These BMPs aren’t onerous. Implementing them could in
fact save a farmer money, as well as the neighbour’s bees.
That’s a win-win.

Feeding the world’s hungry
differs from feeding the world
Some challenge the mantra of doubling world food production by 2050
By Alan Guebert
S
ome people see the proverbial glass halffull rather than half-empty and some people say tomahto, others tomato.
These tomahto/half-fullers aren’t knuckleheads. They simply view the world from a different angle and, often, that difference offers
fresh insights.
Tim Wise, director of the Research and Policy
Program at Tufts University’s Global Development and Environment Institute, is one of
those people.
For example, if you ask Wise, “How will we
feed the world in 2050?” his response will be,
“Who’s we?” and, “Don’t you mean, ‘How are
we going to feed the world’s hungry?’”
Feeding the world’s hungry is different than
“feeding the world.” About one in 11 people
around the world, or 800 million of our planet’s
seven billion, are undernourished — “hungry”
— today. That’s a lot, but it’s not seven billion.
Moreover, as Wise and co-author Marie Brill,
the executive director of ActionAid USA, lay out
in an Oct. 2013 report on food, food production
and hunger, much of the economic forecasting and many of the “public pronouncements”
about future global food needs are “misleading.”
Take, for example, the oft-quoted 2008 prediction by the United Nations and the World
Food Program that foresaw “a doubling of
global food production by 2050 to meet rising demand from a growing population” —
estimated to be nine billion — “expected to
consume more meat as well as from rapidly
growing demand for bioenergy crops.”
Wise and Brill note the UN’s “expert team of
agricultural modellers hadn’t called for a doubling of food production by 2050. Rather the
models… had indicated the need to increase
overall agricultural production by 70 per cent
from 2005-07 to 2050.”
Later, in 2012, when the UN’s Food and
Agricultural Organization plugged updated
OUR HISTORY:
T
data into the model, “these estimates brought
the figure down to 60 per cent for the same
period.”
That’s an astonishing difference and a difference never mentioned in farm and ranch country mostly because the newer forecast doesn’t
jibe with our long-held, outdated beliefs.
In short, a doubling it was and a doubling it
will remain no matter the facts.
Another astonishing difference is the vast
difference between food production and
agricultural production. There’s a lot of farm
production included in agricultural production
that has nothing to do with food, like biofuels,
Wise and Brill say.
Indeed, the current 60 per cent increase in
the world’s food need by 2050 includes “biofuel
expansion to meet existing mandates through
2020,” they write. Many of those mandates,
mostly in Europe and the U.S., however, are
either on hold or facing revision, “because the
logic behind them has changed drastically in
the last few years.”
Another often-overlooked area is food waste.
“One-third of global food production fails to
nourish anyone,” write Wise and Brill. In developed nations, we throw it away as waste; in
developing nations, most of it spoils for lack of
refrigeration or roads to get it to market.
“Addressing either side of that problem,”
remarks Wise, “will address a lot of hunger in
both worlds while further reducing the 60 per
cent increase in food production predicted by
the FAO.”
The Wise-Brill report shows that “hunger, now
and in the future, is less a matter of inadequate
production than inequitable access to food and
food-producing resources, and a singular focus
on increasing production is misguided…”
And that’s regardless how you slice the
tomato/tomahto.
The Farm and Food File is published weekly through the
U.S. and Canada.
May 17, 2007
he May 17, 2007 issue of the Manitoba Co-operator reported the death of the
proposed OlyWest pork-processing plant in east Winnipeg after the Manitoba
government and two out of the three initial partners withdrew their support. The controversial project was initiated by Hytek Ltd., which later became HyLife
Foods, Quebec-based Olymel and Big Sky Farms, which was later forced into receivership. It was plagued by public opposition to its location from the outset.
Aerial applicators confirmed they had deemed wind farms “no fly zones” due to
safety and insurance issues and the federal Competition Bureau gave the green light
to Saskatchewan Wheat Pool’s takeover of Agricore United — with some strings
attached. The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association was urging the federal
government to move forward with removing barley from the Canadian Wheat Board
monopoly sooner rather than later, and Manitoba honey producers were trying to
determine the cause of higher-than-normal bee losses over the winter.
According to the provincial crop report, seeding was progressing well, with cereals
upwards of 80 per cent completed in most regions.

Goodale guilty of
doublespeak
Ralph Goodale’s recent letter highlights his doublespeak on the grain
transportation issue.
Recognizing the rail logistics challenges being faced by shippers, our
government tabled legislation (Bill
C-30) to improve rail logistics for all
commodities.
Bill C-30 will expand oversight of
grain movements by requiring additional, more timely and accurate
data from the railways to increase
the transparency of railway, port
and terminal performance across
the supply chain, corridor by corridor.
This bill will also mandate grain
volume requirements at one million tonnes per week. This figure is
being met, and will ensure a record
volume of grain is moved while not
hampering the flow of other commodities.
Bill C-30 will also increase the
interswitching distances from 30
km to 160 km for all commodities
on the Prairies, allowing for practical access to more than one railway
to 150 Prairie grain elevators, compared to just 14 with that access
today.
With an amendment our government introduced May 5, this legislation will meet stakeholder requests
for meaningful service-level
agreements with strong penalties
between the railways and shippers
of all commodities.
During his time in government,
Mr. Goodale and the Liberal party
took a 13-year vacation from caring
about agriculture. Farmers remember well when he and his party did
away with the Crow rate, promising
seven years of compensation, but
delivering only one. The only agriculture policy the Liberals have is to
bring back the antiquated old wheat
board monopoly that held farmers
back for decades.
Mr. Goodale’s criticism is quite
rich, as he and his party supported
this needed legislation in the House
of Commons. If they are at all interested in seeing our economy grow,
the “Senate Liberals” should do the
same.
Our government is focused on
a way forward that will benefit all
shippers selling every commodity,
from grain to oil, and continue to
grow our overall resource economy.

Education is not school, especially
when dealing with the so-called
“wicked” problems of growing population, war and conflict, diminishing extractable resources, social and
environmental activism, fluctuating
demographics, economic boom and
bust, Internet-generated experts and
critics, and the vagaries of climate
change and weather instability.
Lear ning how to be adaptable
and adaptive comes from a variety
of inputs and situations, only some
of which are found in the traditional
classroom. In the rapidly changing
world of today and tomorrow, access
to “information” is instant and universal; the key question is how the
validity of that information might be
ascertained.
Will we need teachers to stand in
front of a class and attempt to fill their
students’ heads with presently known
facts? Clearly this is not even necessary today, the student has multiple
means of accessing “facts,” but few
means to validate their relevance or
accuracy, or to understand possible connections between apparently
incongruent fields.
What is a student?
A student is not just the registered
attendee of an educational institution who aims to gain a qualification,
but anyone who is motivated to learn
for whatever reason. When Wilhelm
von Humboldt founded the University
of Berlin in 1810, he set in train the
beginnings of the type of university
that we know today, one that links
research to teaching, producing both
innovations for industry and society,
and knowledgeable people. Humboldt’s fundamental belief was that a
university education was not defined
by a teacher-student relationship, but
rather that learning was a studentcentred research activity guided by
the professor.
A consequence of the interaction
between the Humboldtian ideal and
society over the last 200 years has
been the continual creation of new
research-driven academic disciplines.
This, and the reductionism of parcelling knowledge into ever-narrower
fields, has resulted in graduates from
universities coming to know more and
more about less and less, an almost
inevitable consequence given the
continual doubling of the total body
of knowledge.
Another essential part of this 19th
century model was the generation of
new knowledge and its dissemination; if you needed to know you had
to access knowledge within the uni-

To meet the challenges of
the future, today’s young
people need institutions
and processes that help
them develop into effective
researchers, active and
critical learners, and
analytical thinkers,

our present educational
institutions with their
emphasis, or obsession,
of testing for information
retention, seem ill suited.
versity as part of that “community of
scholars.”
But is this model still relevant to
today’s needs, let alone those of
the mid-21st century? For example,
today’s agriculture students may learn
about the two separated entities: the
fate of pesticides in the environment
from a course in soil or environmental
science; and about weed or pathogen control from a plant scientist or
pathologist. Would it not be more useful to deliver that knowledge in one
integrated course?
Should not the teaching and learning offered by a university be relevant to the future needs of a student,
rather than being based on the history
of academic disciplines? And should it
not provide the student with the analytical and synthesizing skills so that
they can see connections and evaluate
contradictions?
In their book Academically Adrift:
Limited Learning on College Campuses, Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa
report the results of their surveys of
U.S. university and college students.
Lack of engagement
Their study showed that 45 per cent of
college students do not gain in critical
thinking, complex reasoning or writing skills during their four years as a
student, less than 17 per cent of their
time is spent in class or studying,
over 29 per cent of graduates never
or rarely read print or online news,
and only 15 per cent discuss politics
or public affairs daily (another 46 per
cent on a weekly basis).
Students may be socially engaged,
but they are not academically
engaged, nor is a significant proportion gaining an understanding of the
process of discovery, that is, learning
how to learn.
In the 19th century change was dramatic and was viewed optimistically
(at least by those whose voice was
heard) as something that could have
a positive effect on individuals and
society. In the 21st century, change
has come to be viewed as a potentially detrimental challenge, one that
threatens our comfortable preconceptions: that receiving teaching equals
accomplishments that become qualifications that guarantee a lifelong,
well-paid job.
Those days are gone; perhaps they
never actually existed.
To meet the challenges of the future,
today’s young people need institutions and processes that help them
develop into effective researchers,
active and critical learners, and analytical thinkers, something for which
our present educational institutions
with their emphasis, or obsession,
of testing for information retention,
seem ill suited.
Whether it is for the nurturing of
the young or all citizens, should we
not give up our focus on validating
qualifications for the convenience of
employers, and concentrate instead
on delivering that 19th century vision
of simultaneous development of the
individual and society through academic programs or outreach activities, that help the individual to learn
how to learn: to populate society
with analytical and critical researchers and thinkers, who can go on to
become visionary leaders whose role
will be to guide society successfully
through the complex issues of the
next 50 years?
For without knowledgeable, adaptable citizens and educated, visionary
and ethical leaders, our future society
must founder on the rocks of uncertain and rapid change.

Ideally a canola field should have seven to 10 plants per
square foot and not less than five.
To calculate the desired plant population you need to
know how much 1,000 kernels of canola seeds weigh and
estimate the number of plants that will survive.
The table above shows how many pounds of canola
seed per acre must be planted to achieve a specific plant
population (left-hand column), assuming a survivability
rate of 75 or 50 per cent, based on 1,000 seeds weighing
between six and three grams.
Seeding isn’t so late yet as to justify farmers making big cuts to the
amount of fertilizer they apply, says
John Heard, a soil fertility specialist
with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and
Rural Development.
“Cutting 10 to 20 pounds of nitrogen (per acre) is not going to have a
lot of impact in cereal yields,” Heard
said in a webinar May 15. “But if you
cut 30 to 40 pounds it will start to
affect yields.
“I’d refrain from making large
deductions.”
Studies have shown, on average,
crop yields decline the longer seeding is delayed. That’s why some
farmers might be thinking of cutting
back on fertilizer.
Before they do Heard recommends they test some scenarios
using the Nitrogen Rate Calculator
available for downloading from
MAFRD’s website at <http://www.
gov.mb.ca/agriculture/crops/soilfertility/nitrogen-rate-calculator.html.>
Farmers can plug in the cost of
their nitrogen, crop price and nitrogen application rate, which is connected to yield, to see what rate will
earn the best return in wheat, barley
and hybrid canola.
The wheat calculation can be
adjusted for moist, dry or arid conditions. The latter two variables
assume a lower potential wheat
yield and could be used a proxy for
potentially reduced yields due to late
seeding.
Nitrogen is mobile so it can be
applied after crops emerge. In canola’s case that’s three to four weeks
after emergence. By the time canola
is in the six-leaf stage it’s taking up
about six pounds of nitrogen a day.
“You need to have the meal on
the table before it’s consuming nitrogen to that extent,” Heard said.
The risk of applying nitrogen later
is rain is needed to take the nutrient
into the soil. In Saskatchewan, one
year in three top-dressing nitrogen is
stranded on the soil surface unavailable to the crop, he said.
Volatilization is also a risk, but can
be mitigated with Agrotain, which
contains a urease inhibitor. (Heard
said when top dressing crops think
carefully before using Agrotain Plus,
which contains a nitrification inhibitor. Later-applied nitrogen needs to
be available to the crop right away.
Less mobile nutrients such as
phosphorus, potassium and sulphur,
need to be available to crops at the
time of seeding, Heard said. Ideally
farmers should be applying those
nutrients at a rate that replaces what
was removed with previous crops.
A farmer should apply a minimum
of 15 pounds per acre of phosphorus at seeding, he said.
“A 45-bushel canola crop is
removing 45 pounds of phosphorus, but the 15 pounds that’s most
important is the first 15,” Heard said.
“That has to be made up if you’re
going to continue in the farming
business. To put on less than what
the crop is removing is a rented land,
retirement program. At some point
those differences will need to be
made up. But as a survival strategy
make sure you’ve got the first 15
pounds on.”

plants were delayed by two
leaves total yield was cut by four
per cent, one of de Rocquigny’s
slides showed.
Crops delayed by four leaves
resulted in yield losses of eight
per cent.
“We definitely want to optimize germination and emergence and therefore stand

is critical for successful corn production and maximizing your
yield potential. And we want to

planting... and see what can be
learned from 2014.”
St a n d e s t a b l i s h m e n t i s
equally important for canola,
MAFRD oilseed specialist
Anastasia Kubinec said. Canola
will germinate with soil temperatures of 5 C. As of May 15
only one of MAFRD’s weather
stations — Deloraine at 4.7 C —
was that high.
Canola should be seeded
one-half to one inch deep,
Kubinec said. Reduced seeding speed helps ensure that.
One study showed seeding at
three miles per hour the average seeding depth was threequarters of an inch and varied
between three-quarters and
1.25 inches.
At four miles per hour the
depth averaged one inch and
varied between one-half inch
and 1.5.
At five miles per hour the
depth averaged 1.5 inches and
varied between one-quarter and
3.25 inches.
It doesn’t matter what type of
seeder is used — the faster the
speed, the more variable the
seeding depth, she said.
Some farmers broadcast canola seed, especially if seeding
has been delayed by wet soils.
It doesn’t often work well for
first-time farmers, Kubinec said.
Good seed-to-soil contact is critical, which means harrowing is
required after spreading. Then
rain is required.
“If it’s too wet to get across with
the seeder it’s probably too wet to
get across with a set of harrows,
so don’t broadcast,” Kubinec said.
Broadcast seeding often results
in variable emergence, especially
if rain is delayed. A crop varying
in maturity makes weed and disease control harder and harvesting too.
Canola seeded by air can
potentially be insured by the
Manitoba Agricultural Services
Corporation (MASC) so long as
“it is incorporated into the soil by
mechanical means and the crop
establishes to a level that is equal
to or greater than the insured
producer’s coverage,” MASC’s
website states.
“The incorporation date will
be deemed to be the seeding
date, with all aerial-seeded
acreage required to be reported
on the Seeded Acreage Report
by June 22.”

TB TESTING Continued from page 1
Depending on the details
of the quarantine orders, the
restrictions could allow for
short movements to adjacent
pastures, but certainly not
long-distance movements by
trailers, he added.
Some of the ranchers quarantined are producers who
have stopped co-operating
with the eradication effort.
For Rossburn-area rancher
Rodney Checkowski, who was
presented with a quarantine
order last week by two CFIA
employees under RCMP escort,
it marks the fifth time in 30
years that cattle movements on
his farm have been restricted.
Checkowski said he has lost
his trust in the CFIA. “They
bully people. They threaten
them with legal action,” he
added.
Last year, after being convicted and fined twice
for failing to comply with
a C F I A o rd e r t o t e s t h i s
h e rd , C h e c k ow s k i b o u g h t
nine Simmental cows bred
Charolais with the goal of
getting back into the cattle
business.
Since then, he has been
forced to sell one cow because
it suffered a prolapsed uterus
during calving, and lost three
others. One failed to recover
after a caesarean delivery for
a stillborn 160-pound calf and
had to be euthanized, one died
from possible milk fever, and
another from unknown causes.
The unfortunate chain
of events has left him feeling “paranoid,” but last week
Checkowski said that he would
comply with the CFIA’s testing
order set for May 23.
“What the hell, it’s only five
cows,” he said.
Bill Mansell, a rancher near
Inglis, has also been served
with a quarantine order, and
an assault charge related to an
incident that occurred when
the notice was delivered by a
CFIA staff member.
“I told them last fall that
there wasn’t going to be any-
“Essentially,
anybody who was
scheduled to test

A CFIA spokesperson wrote
in an emailed response that

May 1, 2014, and all implicated
producers were provided the
opportunity to arrange a suitable test date during this period.
“These quarantine orders
will be lifted after testing is

In a press release outlining
progress on the 2013-14 Bovine
Tuberculosis Management Plan,
TB co-ordinator Allan Preston
noted that wildlife sampling has
been completed.
Testing so far this year has
confirmed that the Riding
Mountain Eradication Area
(RMEA) cattle and bison herds
continue to be free from TB,
with the last positive found in
livestock in 2008.
On the wildlife side, 135 deer
were found to be negative.
However, of 102 elk sampled,
one mature cow born in 2003
tested positive for bovine TB,
leading researchers to suspect
that a few more older elk may
still be alive and harbouring
TB in the park’s so-called core
area.
“Our goal is to reduce the
prevalence to where it’s
undetectable with current
surveillance methods, but
obviously it’s still detectable,”
said Preston, who added that
it means a hoped-for switch to
hunter-kill sampling alone must
be delayed.
However, he said that
because the animal was captured deep inside the park, it
likely had very limited potential
for interaction with any cattle
herds.

The popularity of eating gluten free
continues to drive product development
For some it’s a fad, for others it’s a medical necessity, but for farmers a growing interest in gluten free
may be an opportunity to explore new crops
By Shannon VanRaes
co-operator staff
I
nside the cosy St. Boniface storefront
that houses Cocoabeans Bakeshop
you’ll find breads, pastries, buns,
sandwiches, cookies and cakes alongside
steaming coffee and tiny tables, much
like any bakery across the province.
But there is one thing that isn’t on the
menu — gluten.
Owner Betsy Hiebert, along with her
three children, are living with celiac
disease, a condition defined by a lifelong intolerance to a composite protein
found in wheat, spelt, rye and barley,
commonly called gluten.
“I started off going to farmers’ markets, trying to get a feel for the gluten-free market... to see if there was
enough interest, what people were
looking for, what they liked,” said Hiebert. “And it turned out a lot of people
were looking for really good-tasting
gluten-free bread.”
After building a commercial kitchen
in her basement and developing a solid
client base, Hiebert moved to her current Tache Avenue location a year and
a half ago.
“Now this might be too small soon
too,” she said.
And Hiebert is far from the only entrepreneur to successfully venture into the
gluten-free market.
“In Canada right now, the gluten-free
industry is worth $90 million and it’s
growing. They predict 10 per cent growth
year after year until 2018,” notes Roberta
Irvine of the Food Development Centre
in Portage la Prairie.
Gluten-free olives?
At the recent Great Manitoba Food Fight
— a competition for new food products
— 50 per cent of the entrants promoted
their product as being gluten free, even if
the product was made with ingredients
that don’t naturally contain gluten, such
as olives.
“They are recognizing that this is an
important selling feature,” said Irvine,
adding that about 15 per cent of the
ideas that make their way into the Food
Development Centre are now for glutenfree products.
But while the number of gluten-free
foods is growing rapidly, the number of
people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities is not growing at the same rate.
Only about one per cent of the population has the disease.
“Gluten free is a huge fad for weight
loss, which has nothing to do with our
medically required diet,” said Janet
Dalziel, former president of the Canadian Celiac Association and a current
volunteer with the organization. “Except
that it helps us in that the market is perceived to be bigger and manufacturers
are then more interested in providing
stuff for us.
“The downside of that is that the condition is taken less seriously, when you
go to eat out in a restaurant and you ask
about (gluten) they roll their eyes and
say, yeah yeah, yeah,” Dalziel said.
Diverse clientele
Hiebert notes about 60 per cent of
her clientele has celiac disease, while
roughly another 20 per cent suffer
from gluten intolerance. However, the
remaining 20 per cent are purchasing gluten-free foods for a perceived
health benefit.
But unless you have celiac disease and
need to cut gluten out of your diet for
medical reasons, eliminating something
like wheat could actually have a detrimental effect on one’s health.
“Our dietitians would say that they are
at risk for some nutritional deficiencies,
depending on what they substitute,”

Gluten-free fans still like their carbs
For grain farmers, that may open up new opportunities
By Shannon VanRaes
co-operator staff
Unlike previous food fads, such as the Atkin’s
diet in which subscribers shun all carbohydrates in their diets, the gluten-free kick may
open up opportunities for alternative grain
and oilseed crops such as quinoa, flax, millet,
amaranth and chia.
Chia and flax can also be used as an egg
replacement in baked goods.
“That’s how we started our business over
20 years ago,” said Michael Dutcheshen,
general manager of the Saskatoon-based
Northern Quinoa Corp. “Most of the demand
we were getting was because it was gluten free, and at that time, it was one of the
only selling features beside the health food
angle.”
Today, quinoa has come into its own and
has vast appeal outside the gluten-free market, said Dutcheshen, whose company works
with producers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
“All the demand for gluten free, obviously,
made quinoa more popular in general though
and helped push it into the mainstream,” he
said.
Northern Quinoa Corp. also sells flax, chia,
millet and amaranth.
“We do a little of everything with gluten
free,” Dutcheshen said, adding that producers are still growing ingredients, even if those
ingredients are more diverse and less focused
on wheat.
Dalziel said, adding folic acid and B vitamins are largely found in enriched flour.
Although other grains also contain
gluten, wheat has been singled out for
criticism in recent weight-loss books,
like Wheat Belly by William Davis.
Response from wheat growers and
bread manufacturers has been swift
and unsurprising.
“There is no magic bullet for achieving or maintaining a healthy weight and
blaming a single food or food group for the
obesity epidemic is a gross oversimplifica-
“It gives (producers) an opportunity to
explore and it gives them another crop to do,”
he said.
A 1992 study on alternate crops at the
Morden Research Station concluded that
amaranth — a close cousin of quinoa — had
“fair agronomic potential as a commercial crop
in the southern Canadian Prairies” but that its
potential “depends on the development of
expanded markets.”
Those markets may have arrived.
Although no one has embarked on intensive commercial amaranth production in
Manitoba quite yet, seed cleaning and coloursorting technology are improving, Dutcheshen
said, and may eventually provide a viable way
to root out the impostor seeds that make their
way into the amaranth harvest.
“We have had Canadian-grown amaranth,
but it’s not easy for us to compete with
imports... in India and Peru, where they grow
the majority of the amaranth, they have less
weed competition and much more manual
labour,” he said.
Perhaps the most important change
Dutcheshen has seen recently in the glutenfree grain market, is that grains like quinoa
are simply becoming ingredients in products
marketed as gluten free.
“This is going to be where we will be really
successful... when we see them just using it as
part of the blend,” he said. “Before you would
never see that.”

tion,” said the Washington-based Grain
Foods Foundation, which represents milling and food-processing companies, at the
time of Wheat Belly’s release.
But even as new gluten-free products
multiply and gluten-free crops like quinoa expand, the cost of such products
has only decreased slightly for those who
rely on gluten-free foods to stay healthy.
Expensive
A loaf of bread at Cocoabeans Bakery costs about $9.50, not an unusual

price for fresh bread in the gluten-free
marketplace.
“There is a tax break for people who
have to follow this diet... it’s a medical
cost,” said Dalziel. “Except that is such a
pain to calculate, you have to keep every
receipt, you have to know what a regular
box of spaghetti costs... and you’re only
allowed to claim the amount that you consume, so if you’re cooking that spaghetti
for the whole family because it’s easier
than cooking two meals, you can’t claim
the whole thing. It’s just so much trouble.”
She also warns that not all glutenfree products are made equally and it’s
important to look at ingredients and
nutritional values on ready-made items.
“I can remember when there were no
choices. I can remember the day after my
diagnosis, feeling completely overwhelmed

Get on controlling foxtail barley early
This week is becoming more prevalent in the southwest
By Allan Dawson
co-operator staff
F
oxtail barley is get ting worse in southwest
Manitoba and it’s best
controlled before seeding, says
Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development’s farm production
specialist in Souris.
“It seems to be a weed that
has taken over since 2011 in
some fields and producers are
having some issues on how
to control it,” Kaskiw said in
a webinar May 13. “It seems
to do well in wet areas, which
we have lots of now and
saline areas.”
Foxtail barley also seems to
thrive in untilled areas. It produces a lot of seed, which can
germinate through the growing season, even in cool, damp
soils, he said.
“It seems to be a weed that has taken over
since 2011 in some fields and producers are
having some issues on how to control it.”
Lionel Kaskiw
Tillage can help control
the weed.
A late-fall or early-spring
application of glyphosate (see
the Guide for Field Crop Protection for rates) can also be
effective, Kaskiw said.
Ideally, a spring application
of glyphosate will be applied
to foxtail barley at the one- to
two-leaf stage, but last week
in the southwest some plants
were already at the two- to
three-leaf stage.
If spraying foxtail barley
early, few other weeds will
be present, so Kaskiw suggests spot spraying, then hitting them again when doing a
field-wide pre-seed burn-off.
In-crop herbicide (broadleaf ) applications only suppress foxtail barley, Kaskiw
said. However, a tank mix of
glyphosate and Everest before
the crop has emerged, followed later with an in-crop
application of Everest is providing better and longer control, Kaskiw said.

olumes of cattle arriving to be sold
through Manitoba’s auction yards
were slower than previous weeks
during the period ended May 16, but they
were still larger than normal for this time of
year. The late spring was helping encourage
farmers to continue marketing their cattle
later than usual.
“By the 15th of May, most times, everybody is out on the tractor putting the crop
in,” said Robin Hill, manager of Heartland
Livestock Services at Virden. “But when it’s
wet, guys are still marketing their animals
out of their yards and they’re doing their
spring vaccinations and catching the open
cows.”
Numbers on both feeder and slaughter
cattle also stayed relatively strong for this
time of year because good prices enticed
farmers to bring them to market.
On the feeder cattle side, prices were fully
steady, with small advances seen in the values for lighter cattle that weighed less than
600 pounds, Hill said.
The price firmness was linked to continued strong demand, as well as a rally in
Chicago futures prices, Hill said.
“We have a futures board that is very,
very positive and keeps strengthening,” he
added.
Because the prices are so strong, some of
the lighter cattle that would usually go to
pasture in the spring are being sold instead,
Hill said.
Of the cattle that are going to be put on
grass, however, none have been sent out yet
because little to no pasture has grown so
far this spring.

“We’ve had the rains but it’s froze every
day here this week,” Hill said. “We need
heat to grow grass.”
The late spring also had more slaughter
cattle coming to market, as it gave farmers
more time to go through their herds and
pull out open cows that have lost a calf.
The prices on the slaughter market were
stronger during the week, as barbecue season looks like it’s finally going to arrive.
Demand continued to be strong on all
classes of feeder and slaughter cattle, with
buyers coming from the West and the South
to procure supplies.
There also continued to be buyers searching for cattle from the East, despite numbers not being quite as large as they were a
few weeks ago.
“With the smaller volumes it’s hard to get
loads (of cattle) together for the East but
they still want them,” said Hill.
That demand may start to drop off, however, as volumes are expected to slow significantly once seeding is in full swing
across the province.
Once that happens, the volumes will
likely be cut in half, or less, Hill said, adding that there were some farmers able to get
out and start seeding in the Virden area on
May 15.

Honeybees, crucial in the pollination of many
U.S. crops, are still dying off at an worrisome
rate, even though fewer were lost over the
past winter, according to a government report
issued May 15.
Total losses of managed honeybee colonies
was 23.2 per cent nationwide for the 201314 winter, according to the annual report
issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) and the “Bee Informed Partnership,”
a group of honeybee industry participants.
The death rate for the most recent winter,
October 2013 through April 2014, was better
than the 30.5 per cent loss reported for the
winter of 2012-13, but worse than the 21.9 per
cent in 2011-12, the report said. Previous surveys found total colony losses averaged 29.6
per cent over the last eight-year span.
Over the past few years, bee popula-
tions have been dying at a rate the U.S.
government says is economically unsustainable. Honeybees pollinate plants that
produce about a quarter of the food consumed by Americans.
Scientists, consumer groups and beekeepers say the devastating rate of bee
deaths is due at least in part to the growing use of pesticides sold by agrichemical
companies to boost yields of staple crops
such as corn.
They pointed to a study issued on May
9 by the Harvard School of Public Health
that found two widely used neonicotinoids — a class of insecticide — appear
to significantly harm honeybee colonies
over the winter, particularly during colder
winters.
Monsanto Co., DuPont, Syngenta AG,
Bayer AG and other agrichemical companies say the bees are being killed by
other factors, such as mites. Bayer and
Syngenta make the pesticides in question,
while Monsanto and DuPont have used
them as coatings for the seed they sell.

Demand may be behind
improvements in July canola
Old-crop stocks are large, but are they being delivered?
Phil Franz-Warkentin
CNSC
I
CE Futures Canada canola contracts saw
some mixed activity during the week ended
May 16, moving up in the nearby July contract and down in November as the old-crop/
new-crop spread switched to an inverse.
While old- and new-crop Chicago soybeans
have been running at an inverse for many
months, the fundamental situation remains
completely different for the Canadian market,
making the recent activity in the futures a bit
of an anomaly.
By all accounts, old-crop Canadian canola
supplies are incredibly large, with three million tonnes likely being carried over into the
2014-15 marketing year. So why are the nearby
futures suddenly above the new crop?
Spillover from soybeans is one easy explanation, but likely not the full story in this case.
Rather, the latest strength is thought to be
derived from an increase in demand for canola
itself. Supplies may be large, but farmers are
busy with things other than making deliveries these days. In addition, logistics across the
Prairies continue to show some improvement,
allowing end-users to finally take advantage of
canola prices that are still relatively cheap.
Concerns over seeding delays, particularly in Alberta, but also in Manitoba and
Saskatchewan, are supportive for the bull
spreading as well. Seeding delays raise concerns over new-crop production, which is
always supportive, but they also imply that
old-crop stocks will need to tide the commercial buyers over a little longer than normal.
In the U.S., much of the attention in the
soybean and corn futures remains on planting weather across the Midwest. Seeding

delays earlier in the spring had caused some
concern, but conditions were finally starting to co-operate and producers made good
progress in recent weeks. Soybean and corn
futures were mostly lower during the week,
and are expected to continue to take some
direction from the seeding pace for the
time being.
Wheat gets weather boost
All three U.S. wheat markets posted big losses
during the week, dropping off their nearby
highs as the dry southern Plains finally
saw some rain and the cold northern-tier
states warmed up to allow for some spring
wheat planting.
The U.S. winter wheat crop remains
in dire straits, with only 30 per cent rated
good to excellent in the most recent U.S.
Department of Agriculture data. Spring
wheat is still a blank slate, although seedings have been running behind normal in the
northern-tier states.
Canadian spring wheat plantings are also
running a little behind, but moisture conditions in the North American spring wheatgrowing regions are said to be looking relatively favourable for the crops when they do
go in the ground. Canada’s winter wheat crop
is much smaller than seen in the U.S., but
what’s there is reported to be looking good as
it emerges.
In addition to shifting weather conditions,
grain and oilseed markets continue to keep
an eye on the situation in Ukraine as well.
The region is a major grain producer and
the threat of disruptions to grain movement
or production has the potential to move
the markets.

Western Canadian farmland rentals
holding steady, for now
Upward pressure from high land prices has been offset by lack of cash flow
By Dave Sims
Commodity News Service Canada
F
armland rental values in Western
Canada appear to be holding
steady this spring, according to
three agricultural representatives on
the Prairies, but one analyst says prices
could change by harvest time.
Although 2013 saw a record harvest
across the Prairies, that hasn’t translated into an uptick in rental prices, said
James Bryan, an analyst of Strategy and
Agricultural Economics for Farm Credit
Canada.
“I don’t believe the impact (of last
year’s harvest) on rentals has been that
profound because it’s been very well covered that we have had lots of issues moving this grain and canola,“ he said, noting the slowdown has essentially kept a
lot of cash out of farmers’ pockets.
“A lot of it will be driven by crop prices,
but it looks like for the 2014 year, by the
time harvest comes around prices are
going to be lower than they were last
year,” said Bryan, adding cash rental
agreements are currently the dominant
rental form across North America.
According to the 2011 census, 21.9 per
cent of Canadian agricultural lands were
rented out in the country.
Rates vary across the Prairies with
Doug Chorney, president of Keystone
Agricultural Producers, estimating $40
to $80 per acre being the most typical
range for dry, non-irrigated farming land
in Manitoba.
“I think there’s been pressure on rates
to go up because land values have been
rising,” he said.
Rates in Saskatchewan are holding
steady, said Norm Hall, president of the
Agricultural Producers Association of
Saskatchewan.
“Things would have been different if
the slowdown hadn’t happened,” he said.
According to Bryan some farmland in
Saskatchewan has been listed as low as
$6.25 an acre, although he cautions that
is for very marginal land.
The typical spread in Saskatchewan
can range as high as $140, he said.
However, it appears Alberta is commanding the highest prices for rental
land.
“For Enchant (southern Alberta) it’s
$150 an acre to $200 an acre, Vauxhaul
you’re getting $200 to $250 (an acre),
at Taber you’re closer to $300 (an acre)
for irrigated land. That seems to be the
range they’re running on,” said Lynn
Jacobson, president of the Alberta
Federation of Agriculture.

but it shouldn’t be taken as a sign that the
hog industry is losing the fight.
“This is an aggressive, defensive program. We can’t wipe it out because it’s in
the United States,” said Andrew Dickson,
manager of the Manitoba Pork Council.
“It’s a form of warfare. We’re battling a
virus that’s trying to kill the pigs and the
farmers are the front line. That’s why we
keep telling people that the best defence is
their farm gate.”
A May 9 bulletin from the Office of
the Chief Provincial Veterinarian (CVO)
reported that the second PED-infected site
in the province so far was a finisher operation in the southeast. None of the animals
had shown serious symptoms, and PED
was only discovered after an investigation
into the potential sources of a previously
reported positive swab was found at a hightraffic site.
In an emailed response to questions, acting chief provincial veterinarian Dr. Glen
Duizer would not speculate on whether
older hogs that have become infected with
PED without showing symptoms might be
behind the eight PED positive swabs collected to date at high-traffic sites so far, or
whether the virus was coming in on trucks
returning from the U.S.
“As much as possible and practical,
potential sources of PED in Manitoba are
investigated,” he said.
High-traffic sites move or handle large
numbers of pigs and may include livestock assembly yards, federal and provincial abattoirs, truck-wash stations and
livestock trailers. As of May 9, a total of
1,187 samples had been submitted for
PED testing from 18 high-traffic sites with
eight positives.
Duizer stated that the positive swabs,
and two cases where it is likely that the pigs
contracted PED at high-traffic sites and not
on farm, are simply a reflection that areas
where high volumes of pigs pass through
have a greater likelihood of exposure to
PED and other diseases.
“It’s a form of warfare.
We’re battling a virus that’s
trying to kill the pigs and the
farmers are the front line.
That’s why we keep telling
people that the best defence
is their farm gate.”
Andrew Dickson
“As more of these sites were tested, we
expected more to test positive. It can be
difficult to completely eradicate PED from
some high-traffic sites. However, as a result
of the PED testing, many have now implemented additional control procedures to
limit spread,” said Duizer.
Dickson said that high-traffic areas are
well aware of the risk they pose for spreading the disease and are “vigorously” trying
to clean up their act.
“There is a major effort underway at
some sites,” he said. “Some are even trying
to reconstruct the site to reduce the potential for contamination from contaminated
trucks coming in.”
Measures include revised workflow planning to make it easier to clean up and disinfect after pigs pass through, while others
are putting in new concrete chutes, floors,
and barriers to direct one-way pig traffic
from the entrance of the facility to the exit.
The costs are significant, Dickson said,
but on the bright side, all the measures
taken to prevent PED from spreading can
be considered an investment that will also
apply to the plethora of other diseases that
have caused losses in the past and any new
ones that might appear in the future.
Dickson said that the hog industry is
eager to find out more about the second
outbreak, particularly whether the finishers
had got the disease and then simply recovered without serious incident, or if something else might be at play.
Duizer said that it was not unusual that
the infected pigs suffered no serious illness
because the symptoms of PED in older pigs
are not as severe as in piglets, where 100
per cent losses can be expected.
“That is why we encourage producers to
contact their veterinarians if they see anything suspicious,” he said.
There are two strains of PED in North
America, with one reportedly less virulent than the original, but Duizer said that
to date, only the original strain has been
found in Manitoba.
Dickson expected that the news will
encourage more producers to start swab
testing their barns to make sure that they
aren’t unwittingly harbouring PED.
With some parts of the hog production
chain more vulnerable than others, outsiders might assume that biosecurity is more
lax at some sites than others. Not so, said
Dickson, because there is still a need to
keep out other serious disease threats.
“Pig producers have realized that every
so often there is going to be another disease. So the best barrier is very high biosecurity,” said Dickson.

As spring manure-spreading
season approaches, there are
concerns that the virus might
be spread along with the slurry
unless stringent biosecurity
measures are followed.
“It’s incredible how virulent
and durable this virus is,” said
John Carney, executive director of the Manitoba Livestock
Manure Management Initiative
(LMMI).
At -20 C, the virus will survive at least 28 days, or possibly longer, he added, noting
that the cut-off simply represented the end of the study
period.
“The good news is that it
doesn’t do very well at warm
temperatures, so as the spring
comes, we know that direct
sunlight and warmer temperatures do kill the virus,” said
Carney.
Still, good risk management
requires that hog producers
balance the potential impact
of their herds getting infected
with the likelihood that it will
happen.
“With good biosecurity and
a sound line of separation
between the pigs and the
manure applicator, you don’t
need to be unduly alarmed
about this. But while it’s a
small risk, there’s an enormous
potential impact,” he said.
Farmers would be well
advised to ask manure applicators what farms their equipment and staff have been on,
and ensure that the access
roads they travel on are not
the same ones used by hog or
feed trucks and staff.
“Plan and think about the
risk. How could this get onto
my farm and into my pigs?” he
said.
Despite some reports that
the virus is potentially spread
on the wind, Carney cited
studies last fall in Iowa that
compared PED infection rates
with high volumes of manure
spreading going on in the area.
“They didn’t detect a spike
in PED cases at the time that
applications were going on,”
he said.

Drought sends California cattle to Texas
The current migration includes more of the state’s breeding stock
By P.J. Huffstutter and Tom Polansek
REUTERS
F
or decades, ranchers from
the east have brought
their livestock to California, where mild winters and lush
natural pastures created prime
conditions for fattening beef cattle.
No more. In the midst of the
worst California drought in decades, the grass is stunted and
some creeks are dry. Ranchers
in the Golden State are loading
tens of thousands of heifers and
steers onto trucks and hauling
them eastward to Nevada, Texas,
Nebraska and beyond.
“If there’s no water and no
feed, you move the cows,” said
Gaylord Wright, 65, owner of
California Fats and Feeders Inc.
“You move them or they die.”
The exact head count for livestock on this cattle drive is not
known. But a Reuters review of
state Agriculture Department
records filed when livestock
cross state borders indicates that
up to 100,000 California cattle
have left the state in the past
four months alone.
California has shipped
out cattle before, but the current migration is far bigger and
includes more of the state’s
breeding stock, which give birth
to new calves and keep operations running year after year,
said Jack Cowley, a rancher and
past president of the California
Beef Cattle Improvement Association.
That could be doing outsized
damage to the nation’s 18thlargest cattle herd, since California ranchers will have difficulty
rebuilding once the drought
breaks, said cattle ranchers and
area livestock auctioneers.
“We spend a lifetime building
the herd the way we want,” said
Cowley. Two weeks ago, he sold
18 per cent of his breeding herd,
or 200 cattle, to an operation in
Nevada because he did not have
enough water. He expects he will
need to sell another 200 cattle.
Beef prices already are at
record highs, and increased
transportation costs and rising
uncertainty about where — and
how many — future cattle will be
raised and processed are adding
upward pressure, industry analysts say.
The national cattle herd is at a
63-year low because high grain
prices and drought during the
past several years have encouraged producers to send animals
to slaughter early and to reduce
herd sizes.
The California exodus also
underscores a little-noticed
development in the U.S. beef
industry: the evolution of an
increasingly mobile livestock
herd, which must travel evergreater distances to feedlots and
slaughterhouses as the industry
consolidates.
Wrenching consolidation
The last major slaughterhouse
near the California-Mexico border, National Beef Packing Co.’s
plant in Brawley, California,
plans to close on May 23. The
drop in available cattle sparked
the move, National Beef said,
and some ranchers in southern
California say they will need to
cross state lines in order to reach
the next-closest packing house.
The Brawley plant could
process 1,900 head of cattle a
day, or about two per cent of
U.S. slaughter capacity, accord-
ing to industry analysts. But
with feedlots closing in the
region, the plant couldn’t be
assured of a steady supply of
livestock.
“The fact is, this migration
cycle is going to bring about
even more consolidation,” said
Curt Covington, senior vicepresident for the Ag and Rural
Banking Division at Bank of the
West.
The top destination appears
to be Texas, long the nation’s
largest cattle-producing state.
Buyers this year have hauled
in more than 47,400 California
cattle, a 71 per cent jump over
the previous year’s first quarter,
according to state Agriculture
Department data.
Nebraska, home to more cattle in feedlots than any other
state, also has joined in. More
than 14,000 California cattle
arrived in the first quarter of
this year, compared to just 542
cattle that made the trek in the
same period of 2013, according
to state records.
Cattle are auctioned off at Cattlemen’s Livestock Auction in Galt, California. California’s drought has led many ranchers
to sell their cattle, often to buyers farther east, as grazing land becomes barren and hay becomes scarce and
expensive. PHOTO: REUTERS/MAX WHITTAKER

Africanized bees found in Colorado, farthest north migration
The fact that they were found in the spring suggests they survived the winter
By Keith Coffman
denver / reuters
A
fricanized honeybees have
turned up in Colorado,
officials said May 13, surprising scientists who previously
doubted they could survive winters at northern latitudes.
The Mesa County Health
Department said in a statement
that a peach grower contacted
authorities last month to report
abnormally aggressive behaviour at a beehive on his orchard
in Palisade, Colorado, about 45
miles east of the Utah border.
Specimens were shipped to a
U.S. Department of Agriculture
laboratory in California, and the
hive was destroyed, the department said.

“This is the farthest north
that Africanized honeybees
have been reported,” the Health
Department said.
Bob Hammon, an entomologist with Colorado State University’s Tri-River Extension office
in western Colorado, said the
fact that the bees were found
in the spring suggests they survived through the winter.
Sometimes dubbed “killer bees”
because of the aggressive way
they defend colonies and hives,
the Africanized bees first arrived

1950s when they were brought to

Africanized bees escaped into
the wild and the first colonies
reached the United States in
1990, Hammon said.
While the venom from an
Africanized honeybee is no
more potent than that of a
European honeybee, the risk of
multiple stings makes the Africanized bees especially dangerous.

Put to
pasture early
CNS Canada / The late
spring and short feed
supplies have prompted
many Prairie cattle owners to put their animals
on pasture three weeks
ahead of schedule,
according to industry
watchers.
Extension officials
say a late harvest and
cold winter caused cattle to consume 25 to 30
per cent more feed than
normal. But early-season
grazing can cut pasture
production.
“The cows are going
out there and making
some of these pastures
look like pool tables,”
said forage specialist
Barry Yaremcio at the Ag
Info Centre in Stettler,
Alta.

Sick cows or bulls: to treat or not to treat?
Make an informed decision on the prognosis, but do it sooner rather than later
Roy Lewis, DVM
Beef 911
W
hen first assessing sick
mature cattle, there are
four main choices or
treatment streams to choose.
Firstly, is it a treatable condition in which a positive response
is likely? Is this a condition where
the animal can be shipped for
immediate slaughter? If the condition has gone past the point of
return and the animal should be
put down, or, in the case of cattle,
does it qualify for BSE testing?
It may be a condition where
it just needs convalescence and
tincture of time to improve.
Patience is a virtue if the condition falls into this category.
This article will list some conditions, which more times than
not, fall into one of these categories. The intent is to make easier
for producers to decide when to
treat, when to call the veterinarian, and when to pull the plug.
Animal welfare and quality of
care must be kept at the back of
your mind. Also drug withdrawals and beef quality assurance
rules must be followed. Purebred
cattle with higher value may be
assessed slightly differently, but
one must still bear in mind the
prognosis, which means the odds
the animal will respond to treatment and recover.
Generally cows and especially bulls are tough and resistant to most infectious diseases
(like pneumonia or histophilus)
either through vaccination or
natural exposure and resistance
over time. Most conditions come
about on an individual basis;
somewhat related to age and
wear and tear.
Farmers, because of economics, may ignore treatment for
some cases where we can get
resolution of the problem. There
is also the labour-savings component, but with today’s long-acting products the labour to treat
animals daily is generally not
required. In many cases a one- or
two-shot regime can alleviate the
problem.
The question is the decision by
yourself, or with your veterinarian, whether the odds are good
at getting a favourable outcome
(either complete recovery or
recovery enough where shipping
for salvage is possible).
As with anything, the quicker
you catch the problem the
odds become better at getting
a response. One must consider
with mature animals they may
take longer to show clinical signs.
The protective mechanism for
flight animals is to hide sickness
as long as possible before they
become prey. This is especially
evident with bison or elk, but is
somewhat true for cattle as well.
Signs such as weight loss, last
up for feed, slow deliberate gait,
head down are all general signs of
a health problem. The question
then becomes, what is the problem and can it be treated?
Conditions such as wooden
tongue, lumpy jaw, kidney infection, metritis, mastitis, retained
placenta, localized peritonitis
(hardware disease) and certain
lameness can often be successfully treated. Your veterinarian
especially if he or she is examining the animal could best advise
One must consider with mature animals they may
take longer to show clinical signs. The protective
mechanism for flight animals is to hide sickness
as long as possible before they become prey.
the type and length of treatment.
Both are key in the final outcome.
Conditions such as pneumonia or other respiratory issue
such as emphysema, heart failure (fluid in the brisket), massive
peritonitis or diarrheic conditions may not respond as favourably and a decision to stop or go
forward must be made. Some
may respond, but if there is no
improvement after one or two
treatments the prognosis is
rather grim.
Many lamenesses are either
injuries, the result of bad feet,
or caused from sand cracks
and stifle injuries. The majority of these either need work on
the feet or time to heal. Only the
true foot rot or hairy wart disease
will really respond to antibiotics in any major way. Make sure
you know what you are treating
before proceeding. A lot of time
and money is wasted treating
lame conditions that simply need
time or perhaps a foot trim, but
often don’t need antibiotics.
Downer cows are another
issue, which need close, prompt
attention. A very thin or debilitated cow that has gone down
most invariably will need to be
put down. However, a cow in
reasonable shape that has gone
down suddenly or had a recent
calving issue has a very reasonable chance of responding.
Many are calcium, phosphorus
or magnesium imbalances and
can be treated with a favourable
response. It’s best to call in a veterinarian in this instance as the
products respond best if given
intravenously. A veterinarian
can best rule out other causes
of downers such as a broken leg
or spine, acute mastitis, metritis or toxemias and septicemias
(blood-borne infections). Treatment varies considerably in these
other conditions.
You will find making an
informed decision regarding
health of your individual mature
animals is better made earlier
rather than later. You will also
find if antibiotics are used, often
the older less expensive products
such as tetracyclines, penicillins
and sulphonamides may still give
effective treatment. There is also
one newer prescription product
called “Excede” which is long
acting (seven days) (given at the
base of the ear) and has a very
short withdrawal, so if treatment
is ineffective the animal can be
shipped after three days.
Your goal should be deciding

Become your own weather forecaster
Finer-resolution models can be used to try to predict events such as thunderstorms

H
opefully you took a
few minutes over the
last couple of weeks to
check out the website we talked
about that shows you some reliable weather models. For those
of you who missed it, the site is
http://weather.unisys.com/gfs/.
The first thing that I want to
point out is that this is not the
only website where this type of
information is available. I have
talked about a couple of other
sites in the past and I will go
over them again soon. This particular site is good at offering
information on what each of
the map types is trying to show.
Before I go into what I feel the
most useful maps are for forecasting, let’s take a moment to
understand what the different
weather models are.
The model I personally
use most is the GFS (Global
Forecasting System) or GFSx
(Global Forecasting System
eXtended). This model “runs”
four times a day, which means
it produces a new forecast
every six hours. It also produces a forecast for pretty
much the entire world, which
means its resolution is a little coarse, but I find it usually
does a pretty darned good job.
Another weather model you
can find on this site is the NAM
(North American Mesoscale). As
the name implies, this model
only covers North America, but
does it at a much finer resolution and attempts to predict
things such as thunderstorms,
which may only cover an area of
several square kilometres.
The last two weather models
found on this site are the RAP
and the ECMWF. The RAP, or
Rapid Refresh model (don’t ask
The GFS “SL Pres/Prec” model shows the precipitation amounts expected to fall
during the preceding 12-hour period, and the location of surface highs and lows.
me why it’s called RAP), is the
new version of the RUC (Rapid
Update Cycle). This model only
forecasts out to 12 hours, but
is updated every hour, giving
fairly accurate short-range forecasts. The ECMWF is the European Center for Medium-range
Weather Forecasting model.
This model does not publicly
show much data, so I do not
find it that useful.
Useful information
Now, on to learning how to
forecast using the GFS model.
As I pointed out in the first
article in this series, you can
use the Time menu located at
the top of the image to change
the date and time of the model
data. You will also need to use
the Plot menu to change the
type of data you are looking at.
When you first go to the page
the plot type defaults to SL
Pres/Prec. This map shows you
two useful pieces of information: precipitation amounts
expected to fall during the
12-hour period preceding this
The “1000 mb” model shows expected surface or near-surface temperature in
˚Celsius, and dewpoints.
The GFS model produces a forecast for pretty
much the entire world, which means its
resolution is a little coarse.
map, and the location of surface highs and lows. If you
look at the SL Pres/Prec map
I have included, the time and
date is found in the top righthand corner. This map was the
24-hour forecast for 12Z on
Wednesday, May 14. The 12Z
time is 12 “Zulu” or Universal
Standard Time. For us in Manitoba, to convert this to local
time, simply subtract six hours.
That means this map was the
forecast for last Wednesday
morning.
We are located pretty much
smack dab in the middle of
the map — look for the Manitoba lakes. We can see there is
a fairly deep area of low pressure to our northeast with high
pressure to our west. Looking
at the precipitation associated
with the low (the purple- and
blue-shaded areas) you can see,
by comparing the colours to the
key located at the bottom of the
image, that less than 0.175 inch
of rain was expected during
the 12-hour period ending last
Wednesday morning. Since we
can see some very light purple
still over eastern Manitoba we
can probably still expect clouds
to be kicking around — and
there were clouds last Wednesday.
The next map or plot that I
have included is the 1000 mb.
This map again shows two very
useful pieces of information.
The first is the colour cod-
ing on the map that indicates
the expected surface or nearsurface temperature in °Celsius. This map, which is for
the same time as the previous
one, shows Wednesday morning temperatures to be in the
0 to 4 C range, with sub-freezing temperatures over northcentral Manitoba. The second
useful piece of information on
this map is the thicker contour
lines. These lines are showing
dewpoints. The dark-red line
is the 0 C dewpoint, which is
useful in the spring and fall
when trying to predict frost.
Dewpoint temperatures are
also good for determining how
humid it will feel at any given
time, and can let us know how
much moisture is available for
showers or thunderstorms to
form. For us here in Manitoba,
dewpoints greater than 15 C
mean there is a fair bit of moisture in the air.
Well, that’s about all the room
we have for this issue; we’ll
cover a couple more maps or
plots in upcoming issues.
Cool, moist conditions forecast for rest of May
Blame the jet stream trough for keeping warm air in the south

a y ’s c o o l , w e t
weather is expected
to continue for the
rest of the month, setting the
stage for a cooler-than-normal summer, according to
several weather experts.
“We’ve been colder than
normal this spring and it’s
going to continue,” Manit o b a A g r i c u l t u re, Fo o d
and Rural Development’s
(MAFRD) ag-weather specialist Mike Wroblewski said
dur ing two webinars last
week.
He p re d i c t e d u n s e t t l e d
conditions, including more
rain, this week based on
both Canadian and American weather models.
Southwest Manitoba,
which remains too wet for
seeding in many areas, was
expected to get a break from
the rain coming up from
the United States this week,
Wroblewski said.
In April, Environment
Canada forecast a coolerthan-normal May, June and
July. More recent long-range
forecasts are calling for a
cooler-than-normal August
too. Summer temperatures
could be 3 to 5 C below normal, Wroblewski said.
“There is nothing in the
models that show me that we
are going to warm up significantly,” he said.
He noted hot weather has
arrived south of the Dakotas
but the eastern Prairies are
caught in a jet stream trough
keeping temperatures colder
than normal.
However, say there’s a 65
per cent likelihood of an El
Niño, which usually results
in warmer winters for Manitoba.
Drew Ler ner, president
and meteorologist of World
Weather Inc., in Kansas City,
is also predicting continued
cool summer weather.
“It won’t stay warm, we’ll
probably wind up with more
coolness and shower activity towards the end of the
month,” he told Commodity News Service Canada last
week.
Western Canada will see
some war m weather this
summer, but it will be quickly
followed by cooler weather,
he said. “We’re not going to
have a tremendous amount
of heat units in Manitoba
or eastern Saskatchewan,”
Lerner said.
“Obviously we’re going to
be running late on planting
and degree-day accumulations so these crops will be
a little bit more immature
in the fall, and that raises a
whole other issue, with possible frost freezes at the end
of the season.”
Growing degree days (GDD)
and corn heat unit (CHU)
accumulations between May
5 and 11, were well below
normal across agro-Manitoba, MAFRD data show.

hat do you do if you can’t
find or can’t afford a piece
of farm equipment for a
particular job on your farm?
For many, the answer is DIY, short
for do-it-yourself.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and often inspiration, a welder,
chop saw, and a trip to the scrap pile
is enough to solve a vexing problem.
But what if you need a tailormade potato, oat or wheat variety
that fits your farm’s soil, weather
patterns, geographical location and
production system?
For the past four years, about
35-40 organic farmers across
Canada have been setting aside a
20x20-metre plot for on-farm crop
development trials under the University of Manitoba’s Participatory
Plant Breeding Program sponsored
by the Bauta Family Initiative on
Canadian Seed Security.
Program co-ordinator Anne Kirk
said that the chief aim is to involve
farmers in the decision-making
process.
Farmers select a specific variety
for trial as parent material, often
a favourite that they have chosen
for disease resistance, that is then
crossed by the university’s researchers and returned to them for planting in on-farm small plots.
Ian Grossart has been running trials for wheat and oats for three years
under the program on his organic
farm near Brandon.
The plots are seeded by hand or
with a garden seeder, then Grossart
watches over them during the summer.
“If there’s any off-type plants that
we don’t like, we pick them out,”
said Grossart. “Then in the fall, I
pick out the best heads of the different varieties and they go back
so they can make a sample out of
them.”
Kirk said that farmers are encouraged to make selections over three
successive years based on maturity, lodging, disease resistance or
height and send them back to her
for threshing and cleaning.
Her job is to make the initial
crosses to create diversity and also
late blight and early dying resistance, weed competition traits are
keenly sought.
But because potatoes are grown
from tubers — essentially clones —
selection is based on what the farmers might like to try on a larger scale.
To Grossart’s way of thinking,
developing new grain varieties for
production under the more stressful organic growing environment
makes sense rather than reaching
for the latest, greatest seed from
conventional breeders.
“The conventional varieties are
bred using high amounts of phosphate and nitrogen, which aren’t
going to be available as readily in
organic systems,” he said, adding
that some conventional varieties
he’s tried just haven’t panned out
under his farm’s growing conditions,
while others have fared better.
Also, using seed developed on the
top-notch soils typically found at
breeding sites might not translate
well on sand or heavy clay.
“It’s intriguing to develop site-specific varieties,” he said.
Pure chemical fertilizer is like
“crack cocaine” to plants, he added,
and he theorizes that seeding
“addicted” varieties on a farm like
his where compost is the only nutrient source might be akin to forcing a dope-addled junkie to go cold
turkey.
One of the most appealing
aspects of the program, he added, is
the prospect of not only narrowing
the yield gap between conventional
and organic, but also empowering
farmers to take the seed-breeding
reins in their own hands.
“I was at a meeting this winter
and the conventional guys were
complaining about the cost of seed.
I said, ‘We’re doing this here. There’s
nothing that says you can’t do it
too,’” said Grossart.
However, he added that current
seed registration requirements
mean that some form of partnership
with academia or the private sector
is helpful for navigating the intricacies of the system.
Kirk said that for the first time in
the four-year program yield tests
will be available for some varieties.

Gardeners hold off as nurseries hold on
Consumers continue to shy away from garden centres and nurseries as cold weather
pushes thoughts of spring out people’s minds

t’s not just farmers who are
delaying planting.
Homeowners, landscapers and gardeners are also
holding off on putting plants
in the ground, leaving nurse r i e s a c r o s s t h e p r ov i n c e
juggling growing stocks of
flowers, bushes and trees as
the cool weather continues.
At the Kackenhoff Nurseries
just south of St. Norbert, flowers and trees are being ferried
inside and out most days to
avoid being damaged by late
frosts.
“We’re tight on greenhouse
space and tight on store space
too, because things are starting to bud outside and if we
get a very heavy frost some of
the fruit trees could lose their
buds or lose their blossoms, so
we try to protect everything,”
said Lisa Kackenhoff. “Hopefully the sun will shine someday.”
Most years, Jeffries Nurseries in Portage la Prairie begins
shipping trees and plants to
destinations like Calgary and
Edmonton in early May. Not so
this spring.

said Pat Timmerman of Morden Nurseries and Garden
Centre. “When you have the
plants, there are always costs
to maintaining them, watering
them, fertilizing them. And if
you keep them too long you
might have to prune them
back, so there’s all the associated costs.”
Touchette echoes that sentiment.
“In the greenhouse, plants
don’t stop, they keep growing
and they become higher maintenance, you have to do a little
bit more pruning, a little bit
more spacing,” he said.
The late spring also comes
on the heels of a long, harsh
winter — the coldest in more
than a century — which also
added to heating costs.
And while most trees and
shrubs are hardy aenough to
make it through the winter,
some damage did occur.
“We had a good snow coverage, but there might be a little
bit of damage on the spruce,
some of the spruce are showing discolouration. On the
sunny days with a lot of snow,
the reflection from the sun
tends to burn the needles,”
Touchette said. “Needles are
still leaves and they still transpire, but the roots are still frozen so eventually you get into
trouble.”
Back at Kackenhoff Nurs-
eries, the problem wasn’t the
cold per se, but the frigid winter did bring a certain plant
predator to bear.

However, once the weather
does warm up, greenhouses
should make up for the slow
start with a frenzy of business as people rush to catch
up their gardens, according to
nursery proprietors.
“From past experience, it

said. “Even with the weather

The Manitoba Co-operator | May 22, 2014
Farmers’ groups speak out in
favour of plant breeders’ rights
The national coalition says farmers’ ability to save seed is not affected by
legislation strengthening plant breeders’ rights
By Alex Binkley
Co-operator contributor
A
coalition of farm and
agriculture supply
groups are defending
federal legislation to update
plant breeders’ rights from
attacks by the National Farmers
Union, environmental organizations and the United Church
of Canada.
Pa r t n e r s i n I n n ov a t i o n
includes the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and Grain
Growers of Canada, the two
largest farm organizations, as
well as 15 other national and
regional commodity and business groups. In an open letter sent to newspaper editors
across the country, it outlined
its support for Bill C-18, the
Agriculture Growth Act, saying it will bring badly needed
investment in plant breeding in
Canada.
The attack on changes to
plant breeders’ rights is “based
on claims founded in incorrect information,” the letter
says. The coalition says the bill
brings Canada in line with the
rest of the world. “This is critical to the ability of our farmers
and our agricultural industry
to compete in the global market and to make a contribution
to the effort to feed, fuel and
clothe a rapidly growing world
population.”
Intellectual property protection is needed to generate funds
for investment in further plant
breeding and research, the coalition adds. The greatest impact
on farmers from amended PBR
legislation will be access to new
genetics and improved crop
varieties that increase productivity, deliver higher yields, and
open more market opportunities for farm production — not
the loss of control over their
operations as the critics allege.
On the contentious issue of
whether farmers can save grain
to use as seed the following
year, the partnership says the
bill “does not contain any provisions that would prevent farmers from saving grain for use as
seed on their own farms.”
If the government wished to
amend that rule, it would have
to demonstrate support from
those who may be affected by
the regulation.
The coalition says far m
groups have been asking for
updated PBR legislation for
more than 20 years and growers across the country are suffering because Canada has yet
to sign the latest version of the
International Union for the Protection of New Plant Varieties.
“For example, wheat producers in Ontario have been denied
access to superior varieties
developed in Europe because
European plant breeders will
not risk their varieties in a market that does not afford the
protection they have in other
markets. Similarly, potato growers who require varieties that
will help them battle disease
and adverse environmental
conditions are denied access
to those genetics because plant
breeders will not risk their
investments in Canada.”
The letter also notes that
cereal research in Canada has
fallen behind most other countries. “A recent international
study ranks Canada’s ability to
generate funds for investment in
plant breeding at the bottom of
the list of cereal crop-producing
countries, with the result that
Canadian productivity is also
near the bottom of the same
list.”
When C-18 was introduced
Dec. 9, Agriculture Minister
Gerry Ritz said he wanted the
bill passed in time for its various
provisions to come into effect
this Aug. 1. The bill underwent
a few hours of debate March 3
and nothing has been said about
it since. A Ritz spokesman said
the government hasn’t decided
when debate will resume. Parlia-
ment will rise for the summer in
late June.
The NFU and its supporters
say the legislation will make “it
much more difficult (for farmers) to save and reuse seed forcing them to pay more for seed.”
As well, it will “consolidate the
power and control of the world’s
largest agribusiness corporations over seed, and thus over
the Canadian farming and food
system.”
The partnership counters that
Canada must “take every possible action to attract investment
in plant breeding and variety
development for Canada.”
It says plant breeders’ rights
are a voluntary vehicle for collecting a royalty on seed and not
a barrier to use in research by
other scientists. “It is an intel-
lectual property tool that can be
used completely at the discretion of the breeder. In addition,
farmers can choose not to use
PBR-protected varieties. Of the
359 registered varieties of wheat
available to farmers, only 91 are
protected by PBR. Only 59 of
the 252 registered barley varieties available to farmers are protected by PBR, and only 29 of the
126 registered oats varieties are
protected by PBR. Farmers have
plenty of choice.”
Nearly half of the varieties
covered by breeders’ rights “were
developed by public institutions.” Universities, provincial
research facilities, and Agriculture have received royalties from
private organizations to help
fund their plant-breeding programs,” the letter says.

Bullying puts us all
at risk, says expert
Proactive measures to eliminate bullying are more effective
than banning weapons, says social worker
By Daniel Winters
co-operator staff / Brandon
B
ullying isn’t just unseemly herd
behaviour among humans.
It’s a serious threat to public
safety, said Bill Bolley, a Brandon School
Division social worker with 35 years of
experience working with troubled and atrisk children in schools and group homes.
In a presentation at the recent Manitoba
Women’s Institute annual conference,
Bolley said that in some cases, the torments endured by victims of bullying can
cause them to explode and commit unimaginable acts of violence.
While many see banning weapons as the
solution, Bolley believes society needs to
look deeper into the root causes of why
some people choose to lash out in school,
the workplace, or in seemingly random
attacks.
In his opinion, bullying explains many
such incidents.
“It comes to a point where the victim
says, ‘I can’t live this way anymore and I’m
going to die,’” said Bolley, who also serves
as a threat assessment expert in the legal
system and has been described as a “kid
whisperer” for his skill with troubled youth.
“Why am I like this? It’s because of my
boss and the guys I work with. So I’m
going to take them out first and then I’m
going to take myself out.”
The idea that suicides, murder-suicides,
or so-called “suicide-by-cop,” can be
explained by “snap theory” — that seemingly normal people “snap” and become
violent — is outdated, he said, citing a
growing field of evidence that points to
“fluidity,” wherein repeated psychological
assaults over time result in a “stair-step”
decline in mental health.
“Fear is one of the most powerful things
that affects a person’s emotional state. If
you’re in fear long enough, you will kill. Or
you will kill yourself,” said Bolley.
Power of fear
As an example, he noted that many cases
of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
in soldiers returning from the war in
Afghanistan are the result of long periods
spent living in extreme fear.
In order to eliminate the problem, a
clear definition of bullying is needed.
First off, it is not a case of normal conflict between people with opposing views.
“It’s about contempt. It’s a powerful feeling of dislike towards someone considered
to be worthless, inferior or undeserving
of respect,” he said, adding that bullies
feel they have a sense of “entitlement” in
behaving disrespectfully towards others
who are “different.”

Women’s Institute annual conference. photo: Daniel Winters
With young people, it’s important to not
only stop the bullies, but also to help the
victims develop skills to defeat them so
that they don’t have to endure one bully
after another for the rest of their lives.
“If we have a society where everyone
respects everyone, do you think we’d have
bullies?” he asked.
Exclusion is one strategy used by bullies
that often goes unnoticed and unpunished, even though it can have more devastating consequences for victims than a
physical assault.
An embarrassing mistake that causes
someone to fall out with their peer group,
he added, can be used by bullies to
make them “pay and pay and pay” by an
extended period of cruel exclusion.
Cyberbullying is particularly harmful
because it allows for massive, uninhibited,
anonymous attacks that are difficult to
escape given the ubiquity of the online
world in teenagers’ lives.
“It doesn’t end when school ends. The
kid who used to get knocked down every
day on the schoolyard would at least be
safe when he got home,” he said. “But
now when he gets home there’s messages
about him, threats, and all kinds of stuff
coming at him all the time.”
Ostracized
In one case, Bolley told how a boy found
himself suddenly ostracized by his classmates because others had created a fake
Facebook page using his photograph that
declared he was a homosexual and eager
to hook up with partners.
The statistics are disturbing, he added.
Girls are two times more likely to be victims or perpetrators of online bullying,
victims of online bullying are two to nine
times more likely to consider committing
suicide, and only one out of 10 children
will inform a parent or trusted adult of
online bullying incidents.
Warning signs for parents include sudden changes in behaviour such as depression, anxiety and loneliness that lead to
low self-esteem, fears, crying, or unexplained psychosomatic sicknesses such as
headaches or ulcers.
No cellphone calls, or conversely, a
flood of calls, as well as a sudden lack of
interest in computers or cellphones, disengagement from school, or avoidance,
withdrawal or isolation from peers can be
early warning signs, he added.
If left unaddressed, problems can
worsen to include cutting, or self-harm,
which is often the last stage before a suicide attempt or worse.
“When kids talk, you have to listen,”
said Bolley.
Good, clear legislation that gives parents, educators and police grounds to
intervene in bullying cases has had a
strong impact on what was formerly dismissed as a childhood rite of passage, he
added.
What can individuals do?
“Stand up for what’s right. Don’t bully
others. Ask yourself, ‘Am I bullying that
other person?’” he said. “Show respect
to everyone. Celebrate differences. Don’t
be judgmental. Practise fairness. Stand
up for people who are being treated
unfairly.”
Program
makes ‘family’
out of mere
classmates
How do you turn a cast of characters with few things in common
into a family that respects and
shows tolerance for one another?
Having an adorable baby to
“care for” connects disparate
characters that may have little in
common other than the fact that
they attend the same classes at
school, said Juanita Tokaryk, who
has taught the “Roots of Empathy”
program at Brandon School
Division since 2005.
In the program, loving parents
from the community bring their
newborn infant into the classroom
to serve as “teacher” for classrooms ranging from K-8 for 10
visits throughout the school year.
Seated on the floor in a circle,
the students observe the child’s
emotional expressions as he or
she lies on a blanket. Children are
encouraged to describe what the
infant is feeling, with the aim of
helping them to recognize and
investigate emotions in themselves and others.
Each visit begins with a prelesson, then the actual visit by
the infant and parents, followed
by a post-visit discussion and
exercises.
“People are scared of Grades
7 and 8 because of adolescent
behaviour, but I’m not. I love that
age. You wouldn’t believe the little marshmallows they become,”
said Tokaryk, at the recent
Manitoba Women’s Institute
annual conference.
“The boys — you see them in
the hallways and they’re so tough
— but if there’s a baby in there,
you get a whole different scene.”
Created by Mary Gordon in
1996 in Ontario, the innovative
classroom program has been
credited with reducing aggression
levels and increasing social and
emotional competence by planting the “seeds of empathy” in
school children at a critical stage
in their development.
The goal of Roots of Empathy,
which has reached 600,000 students worldwide since its inception, is to “create caring, peaceful
and civil societies.”
In the program’s introductory
video clip, an Ontario criminal
court judge states powerfully that
“if the lessons that these children
learn would have been taught
to the people I deal with every
day, we’d have far less need for
prisons.”

The iconic Irma Harding returns

T
hose of you who remember International
Harvester (IH) farm equipment may also
recall the company’s fridges and freezers —
and maybe Irma Harding too.
Postwar rural electrification was in full swing
and farmhomes were installing freezers in the late
1940s when IH, maker of cream separators since
the 1880s, seized upon another opportunity to sell
home food production equipment.
In 1947, International Harvester developed
refrigerator and freezer lines and created Irma
Harding as a “live trademark” much like Betty
Crocker and Aunt Jemima, to help with their marketing. She was, in fact, a composite character of
home economists hired by IH to test recipes and
answer customers’ queries from the test kitchens
of its Evansville Indiana plant. Her face appeared
on all the company’s advertising and packaging,
and her name on company cookbooks an allfemale team of 70 home economists and saleswomen took on the road with them to educate
homemakers about freezing and preserving food.
Irma Harding was introduced in 1948, and proclaimed in an October edition of International
Harvester Dealer News that year as someone farm
women could trust.
The sales pitch worked, and plenty of fridges
and freezers were sold in both Canada and the U.S.
(I’m not 100 per cent certain of this but I believe
my parents’ fridge was an International Harvester.)
But it was not to last. IH struggled financially in
the postwar years, and eventually sold its domestic refrigeration division to Whirlpool in the late
1950s.
As most farmers know, some 30 years later, Case
would acquire selected assets of IH’s agricultural
equipment operations.
Which is why Case IH this month brings us the
story of Irma Harding coming out of retirement.
Their farm equipment maker is now promoting Canning, Pickling and Freezing with Irma
Harding a new 250-page instructional how-to and
recipe book that’s sure to interest those who love
all things retro, and and share the widespread
and renewed interest in “old-fashioned” food
preservation.
Irma Harding’s persona “lived on in interesting
and weird ways,” says Sarah Pickett, licensing and
merchandising manager with Case IH in Racine,
Wisconsin. While doing research for the book, for
instance, she discovered food bloggers across the
U.S. still chatting about “what would Irma think?”
Sarah says she didn’t actually have a recipe book
in mind when she first went in search of collector vintage items such as posters and packaging
related to the Irma Harding era. Case IH markets
merchandise such as tableware, quilt fabric and
baskets that bear Irma’s image.
It was Octane Press, publisher of the recipe
book, that helped them see the potential to wed
the intriguing story as part of the company’s history with revived interest in home food preservation, she says.
“People are very interested now in canning and
pickling and preserving, and it was just kind of a
fun way to put a spin on it,” says Sarah.
“This recipe book captures the spirit of what
Irma Harding was created to do — educate people
on freezing and preserving foods for future use.
In the past, canning, pickling and freezing were
used out of necessity. Today, there’s a renewed
interest in these “old-fashioned” food preservation
techniques. This recipe book has something to
offer everyone, from the experienced canner to a
beginner.”
Canning, Pickling and Freezing with Irma
Harding - Recipes to Preserve Food, Family and the
American Way is written by canning expert and
food writer Marilyn McCray, and includes stepby-step illustrations for up-to-date preservation
techniques, including the basics of canning,
pickling and freezing, as well as smoking and
curing fresh fruits, vegetables and meats.
You’ll also find in it 124 new recipes and
loads of nostalgic images of Irma Harding
and IH’s gorgeous retro fridges (sold in all
colours or with custom fabric you could use
to match your kitchen decor!)
The recipe book is available for purchase
online from Case IH and Octane Press. You
can also contact your local Case IH dealers
for more information.

Use caution when
cleaning flooded buildings
If you are in an area that received flooding this year, here’s some things to know
NDSU Agriculture Communication
U
sing personal protective
equipment is critical for
anyone cleaning a building after a flood.
Flood waters and the sediment left behind when the water
recedes can contain sewage and
other contaminants, including pathogens that are harmful to people, according to Ken
Hellevang, a North Dakota State
University Extension Service
agricultural engineer and flood
expert.
Mould, which will be extensive in flooded buildings, also
is a health hazard. Scientific
evidence links mould in damp
buildings to asthma symptoms
in those with the chronic disorder; coughing, wheezing and
upper respiratory symptoms in
otherwise healthy individuals;
and lower respiratory illness in
children.
Hellevang recommends using
personal protective equipment
including a proper-fitting N-95,
N-100 or HEPA-rated respirator/
mask; rubber gloves; eye protection; and a protective suit.
Using a biocide or other
method to kill mould does
not eliminate the health hazard. Instead, mould must be
removed from the building.
Here is how to handle mould
on various materials:
•Remove porous materials
such as drywall and carpet
with mould growth.
•Use normal cleaning methods to get rid of mould on
non-porous materials. A biocide such as chlorine bleach
is not necessary.
•Remove mould from semiporous materials such as
structural wood by scrubbing or more aggressive
methods such as sanding.
All porous materials, including carpet and drywall (gypsum board), that were exposed
to overland flood waters must
be discarded. They cannot be
cleaned adequately. Open walls
to remove contaminated materials and facilitate cleaning and
drying.
Remove the floor covering if
contaminated water has seeped
under it, even if the covering is not absorbent material,
Hellevang says. The subfloor
needs to be cleaned, dried and
sealed prior to installing a new
floor covering.
Fabric such as clothing may
be cleaned if it can be laundered thoroughly and sanitized
using an approved product
such as chlorine bleach.
After removing porous materials, thoroughly clean the
remaining structural materials. Rinse with water to remove
large quantities of mud and
Tips to try out in your home
dirt that remain. Next, clean
non-porous materials such
as metal and glass and semiporous materials such as concrete and structural wood using
non-phosphate detergents and
normal cleaning procedures.
Phosphate may leave a residue
on which mould will grow.
Do not mix products. For
example, ammonia and chlorine bleach when combined
produce a very toxic gas.
After a thorough cleaning,
use a biocide or disinfectant such as chlorine bleach to
destroy any remaining bacteria
on hard surfaces such as concrete and non-porous materials such as glass. Organic material makes biocides ineffective,
so clean meticulously prior to
applying a biocide.
Only use biocides that are
approved for the specific material and application, labelled
as a disinfectant. Follow the
instructions on the biocide’s
label for concentration, contact
time and safety guidelines.
Biocides and disinfectants
generally are not approved
for porous structural materials such as wood because the
biocide may not reach the contaminant absorbed into the
wood. Bacteria and pathogens

Here’s some useful household ideas:
Lemons freeze perfectly — if zest is
required, grate while frozen. Thaw
lemon in the microwave — a warm
lemon yields more juice.
When baking lemon loaves, add
some sliced red and green cherries.
Chefs tell us we taste with our eyes
and there’s a lot of truth to that.
Putting red and green cherries into
a lemon loaf will add “eye appeal.” 
While dinner is cooking, have dinner
plates on top of the stove — meals
remain warmer served on warm
plates.
 When making croutons, a pizza cutter
works beautifully for cutting them.
Save potato water for bread baking
(and I hope you’re baking bread). It
adds substance to the finished product.

For bruschetta requiring a fresh tomato — you can substitute with canned
— drained well.
Save water in which vegetables were
cooked — freeze for an addition to
soup stock.
 Perogy dough toughens with re-rolling. Cut small pieces, form into balls
and let rest for 20 minutes or so. Roll
out to form circles.
Save eggshells; crush and place them
around growing plants where slugs
are a problem. They’re a worthwhile
addition to the soil as well.
When using an oily furniture polish,
store dust rag in a plastic bag and
close. There’ll be no need to add
more polish each time you dust.
Add a drop or two of dish detergent
to water used for houseplants. This
helps to control those pesky fruit flies.
Letting plants get very dry before rewatering is also helpful.

key ring on the zipper pull and slip

occur until the moisture content of the wood is less than 15
per cent or below the moisture
content specified by the floorcovering manufacturer. Other
materials need to have dried
to a low enough moisture content to prevent mould growth.
Rebuilding before the wood is
dry leads to mould growth and
health problems in the future.

Rookie year in MHSRA
Binscarth junior high student looking forward to all it has to offer

assie Peake, a Binscarth
junior high student
involved in rodeo, definitely feels she was born a cowgirl. She started riding at the
age of three, and attended cattle-branding get-togethers at a
young age. Initiating her membership within the Manitoba
High School Rodeo Association
(MHSRA) last fall in Russell,
Peake is following in her brother
Kade’s footsteps.
“This is my rookie year in the
junior high division,” said Peake.
“I compete in barrels, poles, goat
tying, ribbon roping and breakaway roping — everything available in girls’ competition with
the exception of team roping.”
The Grade 6 student says
she loves the speed needed to
churn out a fast time in barrel
racing, with her horse Tucker,
a 17-year-old quarter-horse. A
positive moment in her rodeo
involvement so far has been
making a clean barrel run and
as the runner marking a qualified time in ribbon roping, along
with roping partner Ryan Eyre of
Winnipegosis.
At the family ranch, the
12-year-old loves working with
the cattle and hanging out with
her horses.
“My mom Helen and dad Dan
have taught me to ride and have
taken me to rodeos, and my
brother has also been a big influ-

“You can also add in friends,
Tara Moran and Daniel Moran,
both of Russell, Josie Millward
of Garland, Shannon Jackson
of Inglis and many more of my
friends who have helped me feel
more comfortable at the rodeos.”
Peake looks at high school
rodeo as giving her scholarship
opportunities at the end of the
junior high level all the way up
to Grade 12, taking on leadership
roles, and doing what she loves.
With her mom now holding
the position within the MHSRA
as rodeo queen co-ordinator,
perhaps one day Peake will compete on the national stage in that
role. However, for now, the strict
guidelines in the MHSRA make
her be accountable in other parts
of life including school, family
and community involvement.

Buying an exoticlooking plant?
Here’s some tips to consider before you spend your money
By Albert Parsons
Freelance contributor
T
here is no doubt about it;
we gardeners are bombarded with displays of
every plant imaginable at garden centres during the planting season. Part of the marketing strategy that seems to be in
play is to offer a vast number
of exotic plants — most in full
bloom — to tempt consumers
into bypassing the more common (and inexpensive) plants in
favour of the unusual or unique.
The temptation is great and
the only thing holding us back
is that dreadful word “budget.”
Most of us, however, do succumb to temptation and splurge
by purchasing a plant or two
that is new to us and seems to be
somewhat exotic. That is part of
the fun of gardening!
One plant offered for sale in
profusion the last few years is
the calla lily. Years ago, this
plant was only available by way
of rootstock, but now callas are
most often sold as potted plants
in full bloom. The pots are usually quite large — gallon size in
some cases — and they contain
a mix of colours and varieties.
Callas with white markings on
their leaves are paired with those
whose foliage is pure green;
plants with pure-yellow blooms
occupy the same pot as those
sporting dark-purple or brilliant-red flowers. They are hard
to resist.
Before making such a purchase I ask myself, “Can I keep
this pot looking as good as it
looks in the greenhouse or garden centre?” Remember, the
plants are produced to look their
best just in time for display and
sale in May. Sometimes that
means that the best is not yet to
come — it has already passed —
particularly if the pots have been
sitting in a retail establishment
for several weeks under lessthan-ideal conditions. Are there
still lots of buds? Is there evidence that several spent blooms
have been cut off? Are the stems
elongated and weak due to lack
of light?
When I buy a pot of plants for
my outdoor garden, I want the
plants to continue to bloom, I
want them to be sturdy enough
so that they are self-supporting,
and I want the foliage to be in
good condition so that it contributes to the beauty of the
container.
It is easy to be drawn in by
the exotic beauty of the existing blooms, but I always fast-forward in my mind and visualize
the condition of the plant(s) in
my garden a month from now.
A pot of calla lilies will perform well if you consider the
above. Healthy plant(s) that are
in good condition will continue
to put forth new leaves and
flower stalks. To assist it in doing
so, keep the soil moist; callas can
be used as pond or bog plants,
so keep them well watered. Cut
off any spent blooms to encourage the plants to set more buds.
Feed the pot with a fertilizer
with a high second number in its
formula so that more bloom will
be encouraged. Keep the pot out
of hot, direct midday sun but do
Consider a few things before you purchase more expensive plants like these
calla lilies. PHOTO: ALBERT PARSONS
provide it with several hours of
direct sunlight each day.
Although the pots containing several colours of callas are
unique and attract us, be careful
that such a container fits into
the colour scheme of the garden room in which the pot will
be displayed. Perhaps a pot with
just golden-yellow or dark-plum
blooms would suit your garden
better. Whatever pot of exotics you choose, whether it be
calla lilies or some other plant,
take pleasure in having something new and different in your
garden.

Puzzle by websudoku.com
Here’s How It Works:
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!

Bon Voyage, Sclerotinia!
For countless ages, sclerotinia “The Pirate of the Prairies”
has ravaged the countryside, butchering canola yields
and plundering grower profits. But now, thanks to
Proline® fungicide, the hunter has now become the prey.
A single application of Proline can reduce sclerotinia
infection rates by up to 80%.
Say goodbye to sclerotinia and enter for a chance
to WIN* 1 of 3 - $5,000 travel vouchers.
