ussia’s retaliatory sanctions on Canadian agrifood products, while
disappointing from where
Manitoba’s pork producers sit,
aren’t expected to hurt the sector in the near term.
Following President Vladimir
Putin’s declaration on Aug. 6,
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry
Medvedev on Aug. 7 confirmed
the government has completely
banned the importation of beef,
pork, fruit and vegetables, poultry, fish, cheese, milk and dairy
goods from Canada, the U.S.,
the European Union, Norway
and Australia.
The import bans, effective
Aug. 7, are to last one year,
Medvedev said in a statement. Putin on Aug. 6 said the
bans are meant to hit back at
“countries that have decided to
impose economic sanctions on
Russian legal entities and/or
physical individuals.”
Canada has imposed sanctions on certain Russian entities and individuals since midMarch and added further sanctions as recently as last week,

Ken Gross of the winter wheat initiative provides tips on getting
the most out of your winter wheat crop

i n t e r w h e a t h a rvest has begun in
Manitoba and planting won’t be far behind.
It’s too early to say how well
this year’s crop will yield, but
winterkill and fusarium head
blight are taking a toll. But
there are things farmers can
do when seeding this year’s
crop to try and mitigate the
impact on 2015’s crop, says
Ken Gross, agronomist with
the winter wheat initiative and
Ducks Unlimited Canada.
Seeding winter wheat early
into good standing stubble
can improve its winter survivability, while shallow, even
seed placement and upping
the seeding rate can produce a
more even crop making it easier to protect from fusarium
with a fungicide.
“I’ve seen guys get away
with seeding on pea stubble and seeding late many
years,” Gross said Aug. 6 during the Crop Talk Westman
webinar put on by Manitoba
Agriculture, Food and Rural
Development. “ This year
(2013-14) we didn’t get away
with it.”
Based on soil temperature
measurements taken throughout the winter, Gross suspects
much of the 2013-14 winter wheat crop that died was
killed this spring.
Winter wheat is at its hardiest
in December. Many fields were
well insulated with snow then.
As the season progresses winter wheat de-hardens. Fields
that lacked snow because of
poor stubble probably were
“knocked off” during a cold
snap in April, he said.
A lack of stubble could be a
problem for farmers in western Manitoba planning to
seed fields that were too wet
to plant this spring. Even if
there’s a good winter wheat
stand before freeze-up, the
winter wheat crop itself won’t
catch much snow because
it dies down to the ground,
Gross said.
It’s important to preserve
stubble, he added. If possible farmers can follow previous tractor tracks and use tall
weeds to trap snow, Gross said.
The Manitoba Agricultural
Services Corporation, which
administers crop insurance,
recommends seeding winter
wheat in stubble, but it’s no
longer a requirement to get
coverage. The change came
after MASC dropped Stage 1
coverage prior to June 20. As
a result winter wheat growers
only have a reseeding benefit
should their crop fail before
June 20.
Seeding early, seed slow
Crop insurance seeding
dates have not changed. To
get full coverage farmers need
to seed winter wheat between
Aug. 20 and Sept. 15. Farmers
can plant Sept. 16 to 20 with
reduced coverage.

New federal funding for beaver control
Rural municipality politicians are concerned about unrealistic expectations
By Meghan Mast
Co-operator Staff
B
eavers might be Canadian
icons, but the bucktoothed mammals are
a growing concern for some
Manitoba rural municipalities. The furry nuisances topple
trees and plug culverts, flooding
towns and farmland.
A new beaver-control program brings good news for
farmers, but is troubling for
municipal politicians in problem areas, who are concerned
the program has unrealistic
expectations.
While previous programs
funded by the ministries of
Conservation and Environment
focused on preserving municipal infrastructure, this new program requires councillors to
address beaver control on acreages and agricultural lands as
well.
“ To date we have never
gone on private property to
chase down the beavers,” said
Debbie Soloway, from the Rural
Municipality of Mountain.
“We leave the landowners
to look after their own and
we look after the municipal
infrastructure.”
The program, announced
by the minister of Manitoba
Agriculture, Food and Rural
Development, and the MP
f o r D a u p h i n - Sw a n R i v e rMarquette in May, provides
$1 million across the province
for beaver removal, workshops
on beaver trapping and nonlethal removal, and equipment.
Municipalities were invited to
apply for a portion of that and
allocated funding based on
their needs.
The RM of Mountain received
$34,480. Soloway said her
municipality has the worst beaver problems in the province.
She estimates they trap 2,300
beavers each year.
“And we feel that we’re only
catching probably 50 per cent,”
she said. She doubles as a trapper, in an effort to save the
municipality money. “You have
to, here.”
Dane Guignion, another
councillor for the RM of
Beavers are especially prolific in areas where water is draining off Riding Mountain National Park. photo: thinkstock
Mountain, said he registered
to run for reeve before the new
program was announced. The
change has him second-guessing his decision.
“It’s going to be time consuming, that’s for darn sure,”
he said. “All of a sudden everyone’s beaver is the municipality’s responsibility through this
program.”
Guignion and Soloway want
to see environmental farm
plans completed by those who
want beavers removed from
their land. That process would
likely weed out some landowners, like absentee acreage
owners.
Joe Masi, executive director
for the Association of Manitoba
Municipalities, said this program will bring some changes,
but is much better than the
alternative.
“There probably wasn’t going
to be a beaver program,” he
said. “The province through the
budget program was going to
cut it.”
Federal cash helps
Masi said Agriculture Minister
Ron Kostyshyn was instrumental in securing the new funding
through Growing Forward 2, a
five-year federally and provincially backed policy framework
aimed at developing Canada’s
agriculture sector.
In an interview, Kostyshyn
said he is very familiar with the
problems caused by beavers.
He was formerly the reeve of
Mossy River, adjacent to the RM
of Mountain and Ethelbert, the
largest beaver problem areas.
He said the municipalities will not be responsible for
anything that they were not
responsible for before. “The
program theoretically has not
changed anything basic historically, other than that there
are additional dollars that have
been brought in,” he said.
Tommy Nakonechny, a grain
and cattle farmer at Pine River,
said he is pleased with the new
program. He said he spends
two or three hours a day break-

federal government is involved.
But he said the money is still
not enough.

OPINION/EDITORIAL
No need to run for cover
F
or farm writers who value their
safety, there are usually two cardinal rules — don’t print anything
bad about any breed of cattle, and don’t
put good news on the front page (you
get calls saying that we shouldn’t give
the impression that farmers have lots of
money).
For Manitoba farm writers however,
there is an even more important rule —
John Morriss
don’t express any opinions on drainage.
Editorial Director
This is because everyone out there is
more expert than you, especially on ways
to get water off their land and send it somewhere else, and
especially when it’s right now.
That said, perhaps it’s time to be bold and express the
view that there has been a “tipping point” reached on the
drainage issue. It comes down to this: just about everyone
in the province is now living “somewhere else” — in other
words, drainage is causing flooding for more people than
it’s helping.
That realization no doubt prompted the provincial
Progressive Conservatives to on July 30 call for a moratorium on drainage in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Water
Resources Critic Shannon Martin said he had asked “the
province to engage our counterparts in Saskatchewan to
have a moratorium on the issuance of new drainage until
such time that a more co-ordinated approach is taken.”
Martin added it would be unfair to ask our neighbours to
address drainage without making changes here at home.
“We’d have to look at applying it here as well, obviously
we can’t simply ask Saskatchewan to bear the burden,” he
said.
The rookie MLA quickly learned the lesson that when it
comes to drainage, you make such reasonable statements
at your peril. Word soon got out, and he was quickly slapped
down. Within 24 hours he claimed he had “misspoke,” and in
an email said that “the moratorium on all new drainage was
exclusive to landowners in Saskatchewan.”
Our sympathies to Mr. Martin, whose party put him in
a laughable position. He represents the constituency of
Morris, which without some of the world’s most extensive
drainage works outside of the Netherlands, would consist
largely of cattails and willow clumps. If Manitoba wants
Saskatchewan to take us seriously, our position is that it has
to stop but we don’t?
A few days later, the PCs tried to deflect attention with a
press release calling for the Alternative Land Use Services
(ALUS) programs to be implemented province-wide. ALUS,
which was partly developed by now-PC MLA and former
KAP president Ian Wishart, would pay farmers to maintain
wetlands and other natural areas.
The release contains this quote from Bob Grant, provincial operations manager for Ducks Unlimited.
“The timeliest action we can take to protect our lakes
and rivers from nutrient pollution and reduce the threat
and impact of flooding is to stop the bleeding by protecting our remaining wetlands from destruction and degradation. Restoring previously drained wetlands begins the
healing process immediately. It is remarkable how quickly
a restored wetland will recover and behave once again as a
functioning ecological system.”
The release goes on to say, “The PCs are committed to
making ALUS a component of its long-term flood mitigation and environmental strategy including matching provincial dollars to move ALUS from regional project stage to
province-wide implementation.”
Read those paragraphs again, as they are now the official
PC position. And contrary to what Mr. Martin “misspoke,” it
not only calls for a moratorium on drainage, but restoration
of previously drained wetlands. Notably, that is a stronger
position than that adopted by the NDP with its recent surface-water management policy.
The point here is not which is better. The issue is that the
province and some rural municipalities are being driven to
the financial brink by the cost of fighting floods. Drainage,
much of which so far has been uncontrolled, is a significant contributor to that cost, and it must be curtailed if not
reversed.
There was a time when a politician could not say that
without incurring the wrath of the whole farm community.
Again, we’ve reached a tipping point. There may now be as
many farmers who are being harmed as are being helped by
drainage. Some of those affected by changes may pick up
the phone and complain, but that is no longer a reason for
any politician to run for cover on this issue.
And let’s be blunt. The NDP doesn’t have much to lose in
rural Manitoba, so it might as well do the right thing. Short
of pledging to fill in every ditch in the Red River Valley, the
PCs aren’t going to lose any seats in rural Manitoba, so they
might as well do — and say — the right thing.
The right thing is to hold more water back on the land.

Senegalese farmers losing their
land by presidential decree
Africans without formal title are losing their farms to international
biofuel and cash crop companies
From Farm Radio Weekly, published by Farm
Radio International, a Canadian organization
that works with farm broadcasters in subSaharan Africa
D
oudou Sow is furious. For the last 10
years, small-scale farmers in his area
have been steadily losing their land to
an influx of private investors. The Senegalese farmer says that outsiders have been purchasing fertile land in the Senegal River Valley
where he has farmed for the last two decades.
Mr. Sow is a native of the Saint Louis Region
in northern Senegal. He says, “I do not understand why hundreds of hectares are being
given to outsiders when the priority should be
to make land available to our own farmers.”
Policies in Senegal over the last decade have
favoured large-scale acquisitions of farmland
by both foreign and local investors. Highprofile schemes promoted agribusiness and
biofuels. But the government of current President Macky Sall has been highly critical of the
agricultural policies favoured by the previous
administration under Abdoulaye Wade.
President Sall’s government, elected in 2012,
is keen to review land ownership, arguing that
it has not been properly reviewed since the
post-independence era. The major piece of
land legislation in Senegal dates back to 1964
and stresses free access to land and the importance of communal ownership under state
control.
Between 2000 and 2010, more than 650,000
hectares of land were allocated to 17 private
firms. This accounts for about 17 per cent of
Senegal’s available cropland. According to a
regional advocacy group, Pan-African Institute
for Citizenship, Consumers and Development,
10 of these firms are Senegalese and the others
foreign owned.
Mariam Sow is the co-ordinator of the Natu-
OUR HISTORY:
ral Protection program for ENDA, an international NGO. Ms. Sow says, “These initiatives
have led to a glut of private operators, including religious leaders and senior state officials,
moving in on land in rural areas.”
She says the loss of farmland in areas like
Gandon, 230 kilometres north of Dakar, is sapping farmers’ morale. She adds, “In losing their
land… farmers lose a part of their identity.”
Many farmers agree strongly. The grassroots-based Fanaye Land Defence Association, based 430 kilometres north of Dakar, has
expressed strong concern about changing patterns of land ownership.
Farmers in Fanaye say they need the state to
show stronger support for local farmers. They
are also disappointed that new landowners
are failing to “add value” to the land they are
buying by producing better crops and creating
more employment for local people.
It is entirely legal for private investors to
acquire land. But it conflicts with local farmers’ customary legal rights, and the majority
of farmers do not have formal title deeds.
Tensions are strong in the Senegal River
Valley. But Jean-Philippe Tre, an agro-economist at the World Bank, assures small-scale
farmers that the growing presence of agribusiness is not land grabbing, but rather the
development of commercial agriculture.
The Italian-backed company, Senhuile/
Senethanol, acquired 20,000 hectares near
Fanaye in 2011 by presidential decree. It has
stated its intention to grow sweet potatoes to
produce ethanol, and sunflower oil for export.
Locals were promised thousands of jobs, but
only 30 people have been employed so far.
Younouss Ball is a member of the Fanaye
Land Defence Association. He says, “Given
such conditions, young people do not have
a reason to stay, and so they leave for the
towns.”

You could contact your local Massey agent if you wanted “full particulars” on this Massey-Harris reaper-thresher advertised in the August 1929

Part of a column by Manitoba Pool general manager R.M. Mahoney
might not have made it by an editor today. He admonished farmers to
remember that elevator managers could not control the weather. “Consequently, it is not his fault that it did not rain. He is not to blame for
grades, or what the weather did to his grain. Therefore, I ask members to
remember this when they feel like complaining,” Mahoney wrote.
“I am not suggesting that you do not ask for service, but I ask that
you do not add to the elevator operator’s burden by asking him to share
your own troubles, worries and cares. He has troubles and worries of
his own, and if he has to listen to yours, and those of 75 or 100 other
elevator members, as well as listen to the complaints a normal wife feels
entitled to make, he is not going to lead a very happy existence, and
consequently will not be as efficient as he otherwise might.”

COMMENT/FEEDBACK
Advice to limit red meat is on
the wrong track: researchers
Important to distinguish unprocessed red meat and processed
meats such as bacon, bologna, sausages and salami
PHOTO: ©THINKSTOCK
An excerpt from the introduction to
‘Red meats: Time for a paradigm shift
in dietary advice,’ by Mary Ann Binnie
of the Canadian Pork Council, Karine
Barlow of Canada Beef Inc. Valerie
Johnson of Nutrition Wise Communications of Toronto and Carol Harrison
of Toronto. The paper was published in
the journal Meat Science last November and will be delivered at a meat science meeting in Uruguay this month.
The full article is available at www.
sciencedirect.com
A
growing body of research suggests dietary advice to limit red
meat is unnecessarily restrictive and not supported by current
evidence. Historically, studies that
have explored associations between
red meat consumption and health
outcomes have reported conflicting
results (Micha et al., 2010 and Wyness
et al., 2011). Recently, researchers have
begun to recognize that it is important
to distinguish between unprocessed
red meats such as beef, veal, pork and
lamb and processed meats such as
bacon, bologna, sausages and salami.
Large population studies both in
Europe and North America have
recently reported no association
between intakes of unprocessed red
meat and any cause of death, including cardiovascular disease (CVD)
or cancer (Kappeler et al., 2013 and
Rohrmann et al., 2013). This is consistent with the findings of the largest meta-analyses of the worldwide
evidence showing no association
between unprocessed red meat and
coronary heart disease (CHD) (Micha
et al., 2010).
Randomized controlled trials (RCT)
have also demonstrated that, within
the context of heart-healthy diets,
the effect of lean red meats on LDL
cholesterol is no different than white
meats (Davidson et al., 1999, Maki
et al., 2012 and Roussell et al., 2012).
These findings are in line with evidence that lean red meats have a
relatively neutral fatty acid profile with
respect to blood cholesterol levels
(Wyness et al., 2011).
Recent advances in our understanding of human requirements for
key essential nutrients such as highquality protein throughout the life
cycle also provide good reasons to
emphasize the value of nutrient-rich
foods such as lean red meats as part
of a healthy diet (Elango et al., 2012,
Elango et al., 2010 and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations (FAO), 2013). Red meats
contain an array of important micronutrients such as iron, zinc, selenium,
potassium and a range of B vitamins
including niacin, riboflavin, thiamine
and vitamin B12 (Wyness et al., 2011).
These nutrients are all essential for
optimal health throughout the life
cycle.
Sat-fat association questioned
Recommendations to limit red meat
intakes date back several decades and
were originally intended to reduce
saturated fat intakes. Recent metaanalyses have concluded that there is
no clear evidence to support decades
of dietary guidelines to cut saturated
fat intake (Chowdhury et al., 2014;
Siri-Tarino, Sun, Hu, & Krauss, 2010).
Meanwhile such guidance may have
inadvertently contributed to dietary
changes associated with the rapid rise
in the prevalence of obesity since the
1970s as well as other risk factors for
heart disease (Danaei et al., 2009 and
Slater et al., 2009).
A decline in energy from nutrient-
rich foods such as beef, milk and eggs
has been accompanied by an excessive
increase in energy from fats (including
trans fats) and refined carbohydrates
found in many processed convenience foods ( Slater et al., 2009).
The resulting energy gap has likely
contributed to obesity and chronic
disease.
This discussion highlights the need
for a paradigm shift in dietary guidance regarding nutrient-rich foods
such as lean red meats. It is critical to
recognize that a focus on limiting red
meat distracts from more effective
strategies to improve dietary patterns.
In an era when people in developed
nations are increasingly overfed but
undernourished, emphasizing the
value of eating a healthy balance of
nutrient-rich minimally processed
foods, including lean red meats, is
likely to better serve public health.
Putin making a mistake in using food as a weapon
Russian consumers are already coping with high food inflation, and will be hurt most by a ban on some western food imports
By Sylvain Charlebois
V
ladimir Putin has announced
that Russia is banning imports
of a wide variety of agricultural products from Canada, Europe
and the United States. The effects of
this decision on Canada will likely be
felt in the pork industry as we export
to Russia well over $300 million
worth of pork products each year.
Putin’s move has raised the stakes
on the confrontation over the
Ukraine situation which has been
simmering for weeks now. With these
measures though, it seems likely that
Russia’s decision to stop importing
some agricultural commodities will
likely impact Russian consumers
more so than our own agricultural
economy.
The current food inflation rate is at
7.9 per cent in Russia. Compared to
Canada’s 2.9 per cent, Russia’s current rate is considered dangerously
high. With less access to affordable
foods and animal protein, Russian
consumers will likely see prices go
even higher. And with a sluggish
economy and decreasing population,
this is certainly not going to help
anyone’s pocketbook.
By blocking Canadian pork, one
of the cheapest animal proteins
around, from entering Russia, Putin
will likely negatively impact poor
consumers who don’t really have
many protein source options.
Time and time again, international conflicts amongst nations
compel governments to use food
as a weapon of sort. Some nations
may be led to believe that food and
agriculture constitute power, and for
centuries, the human race has used
the food industry to serve political
and economic intentions.
But more often than not, governments using such tactics have been
proven wrong. Manipulating the
food industry often guarantees an
untenable form of influence and
authority.
These unfortunate decisions are
not only made by emerging economies or totalitarian regimes. We have
seen these tactics used in the western world as well. The Jimmy Carter
administration in the U.S. during the
infamous grain embargo of the 1970s
is just one example. U.S. producers suffered when Carter decided to
cut off grain shipments to the then
Soviet Union in response to its invasion of Afghanistan. As a result, grain
prices fell, penalizing U.S. farmers,
while leaving the Soviet economy
largely the way it was.
The American population found
a way to punish Carter: his electoral
defeat. However, it is unclear how
Russian consumers can stop Putin
from playing a perilous game of
chance with their future.
In this latest round of tit-for-tat
between Russia and Canada, it is
very likely both economies will be
affected. But Mr. Putin and his supporters have more to lose, since it is
more challenging for them to find
new supply sources than it is for
Canada to find new markets to offset the negative effects of this latest
embargo. Some believe Russia has
chosen this latest tactic to support
its own hog industry. However, building domestic capacity in hog production requires more infrastructure,
resources and, most importantly,
time. It just cannot happen overnight.
Worse, what’s at stake for Russia is
indeed the well-being and quality of
life of its own people. Sanctions on
food imports will likely compromise
Russia’s already fragile state of food
security. Playing Russian roulette
with people’s lives is not a desirable
option, even if most support their
government’s stance against the
western world.
Regrettably, Mr. Putin will likely
learn, at the expense of the Russian
people, that the urge to teach someone a lesson seldom inspires sound
policy. Let’s hope the current situation will not last.

WINTER WHEAT Continued from page 1
Earlier is better because ideally the
crop should be in the three- to fourleaf stage going into winter, Gross said.
Smaller plants don’t store enough nutrients and energy in their crowns, which
help with stress and regrowth in the
spring.
Seeding shallow — one inch deep —
even in dry soil, results in quicker emergence (if it rains) and a more vigorous
plant going into winter, he added.
“There is a yield penalty for seeding
winter wheat deeper,” Gross said.
To ensure an even seeding depth Gross
recommends planting at four miles per
hour — similar to what’s suggested for
canola.
“I know guys are in a hurry in the fall
doing harvest at the same time but doing
this a little bit more slowly will provide a
yield benefit,” he said.
Winter wheat needs lots of nitrogen to
yield well. Knowing the residual nutrient level in the soil is important, especially following excessive moisture and
the only way to know is through a soil
test, Gross said.
“ Winter wheat sets its yield ver y
early — by four- or five-leaf stage — so
if you don’t have your nitrogen on by
that stage and have it available to the
crop you’re starting to lose yield,” he
said.
“So getting some on in the fall is a
good idea.”
There’s a risk of losing nitrogen before
spring due to denitrification and/or volatilization. Ideally, spring-applied nitro-

with seeding on pea stubble
and seeding late many years.
This year (2013-14) we didn’t
get away with it.”

gen should go on before winter wheat
breaks dormancy.
ESN, a polymer-coated form of urea
nitrogen, is a good way to prevent nitrogen losses, Agrium’s senior agronomist Ray Dowbenko told the webinar.
Typically 35 to 40 per cent of fall-applied
ESN is available to a winter wheat crop
in the fall and the rest remains in the soil
becoming available as the crop breaks
dormancy in the spring.
All the nitrogen for a winter wheat crop
can be applied in the fall as ESN forgoing
the need to top dress with nitrogen in
the spring, which is sometimes difficult
because of wet conditions, Dowbenko
said. Avoiding a second pass can save
$6 to $8 an acre, plus wear and tear on
equipment, “plus (avoiding) the agony
of wondering it I’m going to get out there
early enough,” he said.
ESN sells for a premium over regular
urea. Each farmer has to make up his or
her own mind if the extra cost is worth it,
Dowbenko said.

RUSSIA Continued from page 1
citing “the Putin regime’s continued illegal occupation of
Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula
and its provocative military
activity in eastern Ukraine.”
Pork has bee n o n e o f
Canada’s top exports to Russia,
according to Manitoba Pork
Council chairman Karl Kynoch
of Baldur. But it now looks like
Manitoba’s hog producers have
been “caught up in politics
again,” this time internationally,
he said.
Shipments already affected
Russia had bought $492 million in Canadian pork in 2012,
but that figure slipped to $260
million in 2013, partly as Russia
began enforcing import bans
of meat from animals treated
with the growth-enhancing
drug ractopamine (marketed to
hog producers as Paylean). By
early last week those bans had
blocked pork exports to Russia
from all but a handful of federally inspected Canadian plants.
Until last week, HyLife Foods
at Neepawa was the only
Manitoba site still approved
to ship to Russia, under what
veterinary and phytosanitary
agency Rosselkhoznadzor calls
“enhanced control” pending the
results of lab tests on samples.
Representatives from HyLife
and from Maple Leaf Foods —
whose Brandon pork plant had
been on Rosselkhoznadzor’s
restr icted list, but whose
Lethbridge plant was still
cleared until last week to ship to
Russia — were not immediately
available for comment.
Even with the Paylean-related
bans in play, however, Canada
had been on track to ship $500
million in pork to Russia this
year, having sold $213 million
in pork from Jan. 1 to May 31,
Kynoch said.
For Manitoba — which ships
a relatively high 85 per cent of
its total pork output to other
provinces and countries — the
loss of a major export market
at any other time could have
clogged the supply line and
depressed pork and hog prices,
he said.
Today, though, pork prices
remain at record-high levels,
due to lower production in
Manitoba and other jurisdictions, on top of expected major
reductions in the U.S. hog
herd due to porcine epidemic
diarrhea (PED).
“At the end of the day we’re
in a strong demand period,”
Kynoch said, and Canada’s pork
producers won’t feel any damage from Russia’s new sanctions
if processors are able to quickly
redirect the meat elsewhere.
Product shortfalls
“I think the hurt is going to be
felt more in Russia, by its own
people,” he added. “It will be
interesting to follow this and
see what happens.”
Medvedev last week said
Russian government ministries
were instructed to “chart a joint
action plan in order to compensate for product shortfalls and, of
course, to prevent price hikes.”
According to a Reuters story
quoting the International Trade
Centre, Russia in 2013 bought
about US$17.2 billion in foods
from the sanctioned countries,
of which about $9.2 billion
came from categories affected
by last week’s new sanctions.
The economic
case for
winter wheat
Average winter wheat
yield beats spring wheat
by 20 bushels per acre
By Allan Dawson
co-operator staff
Why grow winter wheat?
Simple — it pays, says Ken Gross,
agronomist, with the winter wheat initiative and Ducks Unlimited Canada.
On average Western Canada’s 2013
winter wheat return on investment
was double that of spring wheat —
$144.53 an acre versus $70.47.
“One of the reasons winter wheat
is so profitable is because it’s such
a high yielder compared to spring
wheat,” he said.
In Manitoba winter wheat yields
have averaged 148 per cent of spring
wheat yields the past five years, Gross
said.
“I really think we can push this crop
further,” he said. “It is a high-performance crop.
“This is not your grandpa’s crop.
“If you treat it right it will treat you
right.”
Crop insurance data show the
10-year average yield for winter
wheat in Manitoba is 64 bushels an
acre — 20 bushels more than the
average red spring wheat yield of 44.
Crop insurance data puts this year’s
winter wheat crop at 385,225 acres,
down 20 per cent from last year.
Winterkill, excessive moisture this
spring and fusarium head blight are
expected to take a toll on this year’s
winter wheat yields and quality,
especially in western Manitoba, said
Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture,
Food and Rural Development’s farm
production adviser in Souris.
“I think we’re going to be disappointed with some of the fields out
there,” he said during a webinar Aug.
8. “They are definitely not going to be
average I don’t think. The fields I was
in are definitely going to be below
average mainly because... we have
a very uneven crop and it was really
hard to get the timing for spraying...
and it was hard to travel on the field. I
think in this part of the province we’re
going to have some fusarium issues
with the winter wheat.”
[email protected]
“I think the hurt is
going to be felt more
in Russia, by its own
people.”
Karl Kynoch
Of that $9.2 billion, about
$1.6 billion was in fresh, chilled
and/or frozen pork, followed
by cheeses ($1.3 billion) and
fresh whole fish ($909 million).
Ca n a d i a n f o o d s s e n t t o
Russia in 2013, in categories
subject to last week’s sanctions,
were valued at US$373 million,
down about 47 per cent from
2012.

Agricultural research
needs greater attention
A Senate agriculture committee report calls on government
to cultivate an environment for research and innovation
By Alex Binkley
Co-operator contributor
I
nnovative new products
and more sustainable
farming practices are key
to the future success of the
Canadian food industry, says a
Senate agriculture committee
report.
At the heart of that innovation is the need for a federal
c o m m i t m e n t t o more and
better co-ordinated research,
says the report called “The
Key to Feeding a Growing
Population.”
That includes both basic
re s e a rc h , f r o m w h i c h t h e
Harper gover nment has
moved away, as well as the
more targeted work it has
been supporting through the
National Research Council
and other granting agencies in
the science sector.
Wo v e n t h r o u g h o u t t h e
report’s 60 pages and 19 recommendations are examples
of where more innovation
could benefit growers, food
processors and consumers.
It calls on the government
to “play a facilitating role in
ensuring an environment that
enables research, development and innovation in the
market and the exchange of
infor mation among stakeholders and promote publicprivate partnerships,” says
committee chairman Percy
Mockler.
The report was 2-1/2 years
in the making, including
presentations from 170 witnesses and fact-finding hearings across Canada and in
Washington. The Commons
agriculture committee is also
studying the need for innovation in the agri-food sector,
which employs more than 2.1
million workers, provides one
job in eight in the country,
accounts for 6.7 per cent of
total Gross Domestic Product
and generated $43.6 billion
in exports in 2012. Canadian
farmers produce 2.5 times
what Canadians consume.
“People expect the agr iculture and agri-food sector
to feed the population with
healthy and nutritious food
available at reasonable prices
while responding to demographic, environmental and
economic issues.”
The report said innovation
is about responding to change
“in a creative way while cre-
ating value.” That pressure
has produced “technological
breakthroughs with respect
to sustainable development,
the improvement of agricultural productivity and competitiveness, maintaining and
expanding markets, traceability as well as food quality,
safety and diversity.”
The committee also called
for a more effective regulatory
system for approving “new
products, animal health, intellectual property and nanotechnology.”
The industr y also has to
deal with a raft of government departments and agencies. In addition to Agriculture
Canada, Health Canada, Environment Canada, it also is
regulated by the Canadian
Food Inspection Agency and
the Pest Management Regulatory Agency while the NRC,
the Canadian Institutes of
Health Research, the Natural Sciences and Engineering
Research Council of Canada
and the Social Sciences and
Humanities Research Council
all support research projects.
The government must continue to harmonize the federal regulatory framework so
Canadian companies have
access to the same products
as their foreign competitors.
As well, it called on government to raise public awareness “about the realities of the
agriculture and agri-food sector to dispel the negative perceptions the public may have
regarding the consumption
of products derived from new
methods or technologies.”

Formerly swamped pastures could now use some rain
Dave Sims
CNSC
A
n abrupt change in weather from the
start of July to the beginning of August
has some cattle producers near Brandon
wishing for rain.
Floodwaters that covered pasture land in
southwestern Manitoba during much of July
have receded, while warm, dry weather is beginning to take its toll on fields.
“If we don’t get rain in some of
these areas there will likely be
some cattle that move early.”
keith cleaver
Just under 400 animals were reported as
being auctioned this past week in Manitoba.
The low number was due to the August civic
holiday, which meant a shorter week for auction marts, which remain on their summer
schedule.
Prices are still strong, according to Keith
Cleaver of Heartland Livestock Services at
Brandon.
“The demand is definitely there; it’s just for
that time of year, there’s not a lot of cattle moving,” he said.
Producers have started to move animals back
onto stretches of pasture that were waterlogged
just a few weeks ago, he said.
“Actually in some areas now it’s gone the
other way, they’re needing rain. Pastures are
starting to burn up. Even the crops are starting
to suffer.”
During a recent crop tour of farmland in
southwestern Manitoba and southeastern
Saskatchewan, participants saw some winter
wheat being baled for feed.
Cleaver said it’s still too early to say whether
supplies will need to be trucked in. “Right
around the countryside, there’s a fair bit of
hay, except for the southwest.”
Cattle volumes traditionally pick up in the
first week of September; however, Cleaver
said, that timeline could be accelerated this
year if the warm weather stays and pasture
land dries up.
“You know, I think it’s going to depend a
lot here on the weather. If we don’t get rain in
some of these areas there will likely be some
cattle that move early,” he said.
Yearlings and certain types of calves will
likely be the ones to come to auction earlier
than originally planned, he explained.
Right now he’s optimistic that won’t be the
case, but he said the lighter pasture lands in
the area already show signs of stress.
“They’re burning off.”

Zoetis plans
vaccine
against
PEDv virus
U.S. approval for
distribution will be
sought before
year-end
By Tom Polansek
Reuters
Zoetis Inc., the world’s largest animal-health company,
plans to seek U.S. approval
before the end of this year to
sell its vaccine against a virus
that has killed about 13 per
cent of the U.S. hog herd.
If approved, the new drug
would rival the only vaccine
available so far.
Zoetis, which was spun
off from drug maker Pfizer
Inc. last year, expects to
ask the U.S. Department
of Agriculture for a “conditional licence” to sell its
vaccine against porcine
epidemic diarrhea virus,
or PEDv, chief executive
officer Juan Ramon Alaix
told analysts during a quarterly earnings call Aug. 5.
The licence would allow
the company to sell the
vaccine directly to hog
farmers while it conducts
further tests.
“There will be some limitations in terms of promotional activities, but not
limitations in terms of selling the product to the market,” he said.
The fast-moving virus has
killed an estimated eight
million piglets since it was
first identified in the United
States last year, pushing
U.S. pork prices to record
highs.
Zoetis declined to provide
details on the number of
pigs the vaccine has been
tested on, or on the results.
The USDA in June granted
conditional approval to pri-
FILE PHOTO
vately held Harrisvaccines
to sell farmers the first vaccine against PEDv. Still, veterinarians have warned that
outbreaks will likely surge
this fall and winter because
the virus thrives in cold
weather.
The USDA declined to
comment on Zoetis’s plans.

U.S. soy futures should set
canola’s path for now
The Prairie crop’s size will be tough to call
Terryn Shiells
CNSC
I
CE Futures Canada’s canola futures were
slightly higher during the week ended
Aug. 8, but remained in their recent trading range as the market makes time until
Canadian crop prospects are clearer.
Statistics Canada releases its first production estimates for 2014-15 on Aug. 21, but its
guesses won’t be given much attention as the
survey was done before farmers were able to
get out into the fields to get a good feeling on
yields. True production prospects won’t be
fully known until farmers start getting into
their fields and harvesting, especially with
the variability of crop conditions seen across
Western Canada this year.
In the interim, Canadian canola futures will
likely continue to follow the Chicago soybean
market, with the potential to break lower
if beneficial weather continues in the U.S.
Midwest until harvest.
Traders were also anxiously await ing the release of the Aug. 12 monthly U.S.
Department of Agriculture supply-anddemand report during the week, as it will feature the first surveyed production estimates
for U.S. crops of the year.
Soybean futures will react depending on
USDA’s projections for 2014-15 U.S. production and demand, with canola futures likely to
go along for the ride.
Corn and wheat futures will also be watching the USDA report, with traders expected to
mostly focus on U.S. supply and demand.
If bearish news comes out of the report,
U.S. wheat, corn and soybean futures could
all start to tumble again after making gains
during the week ended Aug. 8.
Weather premium
Soybeans were up with chart-based buying
after recent losses were thought to be overdone. The need to keep some weather premium built into prices, as the U.S. bean crop
isn’t fully made yet, was also supportive, as
was steady demand. But the U.S. crop looks
good and forecasts were calling for favourable weather conditions. If beneficial rain
and cooler weather are seen in August, prices
could start to drift lower again.
Most Chicago corn futures finished the
week with slight advances, also lifted by
Coarse Grains
oilseeds
technical buying as the market was oversold.
Record-large U.S. crop prospects continued
to overhang the futures. Some industry members have said that due to good weather so
far this growing season, the U.S. corn crop is
“pretty much made.”
U.S. wheat futures saw some upward price
movement during the week; Chicago Board of
Trade (CBOT) futures finished with the largest
gains. Minneapolis futures were up slightly,
while Kansas futures finished mixed.
Worries about excess moisture disrupting
harvest and causing quality problems in parts
of the euro zone helped to lift prices, as did
signs of improving demand for U.S. wheat.
On the other side, continued good prospects for U.S. spring wheat and expectations
of large global supplies remained bearish.
News that Russia has banned certain agricultural imports from countries that have
placed sanctions against it, including Canada
and the U.S., has the potential to impact
North American grain and oilseed markets.
But it didn’t have much influence on the markets during the week, other than a little initial
nervousness that Russia may add to its list of
banned products, which doesn’t yet include
grains. In Canada and the U.S., the ban will
have its biggest impact on the pork and beef
industries.
For wheat, there was some talk that the
political problems in Russia and Ukraine may
slow wheat exports out of the region, but that
has become a non-issue for the time being.

Volunteer canola impact on soybean yield calculated
A University of Manitoba student has come up with an economic threshold
By Allan Dawson
co-operator staff / morden
Volunteer Roundup Ready canola in
soybeans is unsightly, but what’s the
yield impact?
University of Manitoba master’s
degree student Paul Gregoire has an
answer. On average soybean yields
are cut by two per cent for each volunteer canola plant per square metre
in fields where soybeans are planted
in 10-inch rows, he told the Manitoba
Pulse Growers Association’s (MPGA)
tour of the Morden Research Station
Aug. 7.
Losses vary in 30-inch rows by one
to three per cent per canola plant per
square metre.
Gregoire, who is finalizing his
research, said on average the eco-
nomic threshold to spray volunteer
canola is 2.4 and 4.4 plants per
square metre in soybean fields with
row spacings of 10 and 30 inches,
respectively.
However, the impact is more variable on fields with wider rows, Gregoire
said. In some cases it pays to spray
with as few as 1.5 plants per square
metre, he said.
Monsanto and the MPGA are funding Gregoire’s research. His supervisor
is Rob Gulden, an assistant professor
of weed science at the University of
Manitoba.
After counting volunteer canola
plants in several soybean fields,
Gregoire concluded it wouldn’t often
pay to spray an entire field to remove
the volunteer canola, which usually
shows up in patches. However, some
of those patches have 10 to 15 canola
plants per square metre.
“So it might be important to look
at those patches and deal with that,”
he said. “But as a whole I didn’t find
much for a whole field being a problem.”
However, besides the localized
yield impact farmers might want to
control them to prevent the harbouring
of disease and insects, Gregoire said.
Each canola plant can drop 3,000 to
15,000 seeds per square metre, adding to the volunteer problem, he said.
Authority, Authority Charge and
Focus are three herbicides newly registered in soybeans that suppress volunteer Roundup Ready canola before
and soon after emergence.
Authority (sulfentrazone) can be
tank mixed with glyphosate and
“So it might be
important to look at
those patches and
deal with that.”
Paul Gregoire
applied pre-plant surface or pre-emergent surface to control kochia, lamb’s
quarters, red root pigweed and wild
buckwheat.
Authority Charge (cafentrazone and
sulfentrazone) should be tank mixed
with glyphosate.
Focus (carfentrazone and pyroxasulfone) can be applied before seeding
and up to three days after. (Check label
for complete details.)
Monsanto’s website says the best
way to control volunteer canola in
soybeans is starting with a clean field
by applying Authority or Authority
Charge, Heat or Valtera before seeding.
If an in-crop application is required,
Odyssey at the low rate or Viper ADV
herbicide can be used, the site says.

Don’t shy away from alfalfa
because of bloat, says forage expert
Jim Gerrish says selecting for bloat tolerance is a producer’s No. 1 defence against the deadly condition
By Jennifer Blair
staff / acme, alberta
T
he fear of bloat costs the
livestock industry more
than the condition ever
does, says a well-known grazing
consultant and researcher from
Idaho.
“I’ve seen the figures from the
States, and something like two
one-hundredths of one per cent
of the total cattle herd dies each
year from bloat,” Jim Gerrish
told attendees at a recent Foothills Forage and Grazing Association tour here.
“Yet we restrict the diet of a
whole bunch of animals from
containing some very nutritious
plants because of that fear of
bloat.”
As the use of legumes such
as alfalfa and sweet clover has
“You don’t have to
really work to cull
bloat out of your
herd. You put them
out on the alfalfa, it
will cull itself out.”
Jim Gerrish
increased in forage systems, so
too have incidences of bloat,
which despite the low mortality rate still ranks as one of the
leading causes of death in adult
cattle. But like many conditions,
“there has to be a genetic susceptibility,” said Gerrish.
“There are herds that are
completely resistant to bloat,”
he said. “You have 100 cows
and put them out on a pasture,
and two of them bloat and die.
Ninety-eight per cent of them,
nothing happens. That says
there’s something different
about those 98 animals.”
And bloat is a “self-culling
trait.”
“You don’t have to really work
to cull bloat out of your herd,”
he said. “You put them out on
the alfalfa, it will cull itself out.”
But producers have to have
“deep pockets” if they plan to
take that route.
“If you have a herd that has
high susceptibility to bloat,
that’s a pretty substantial financial hit if more than one or two
per cent die. And sometimes
that happens.”
Mixing bloat-causing legumes
like alfalfa with non-bloating ones — such as cicer milk
vetch, sainfoin, and trefoil — is
another route.
“If you have a mixture of
bloating legumes and nonbloating legumes and the animals graze them together, the
release (of tannins) from the
non-bloating legumes in the
rumen will suppress bloating
from the alfalfa that they’re eating,” he said.
“That’s one of the advantages
of doing a mixture of legumes.”
But in areas where other
legumes aren’t as abundant,
focusing on genetics may be a
producer’s best bet.
“In the long term, if you are
in an environment where alfalfa
is the most reliable legume and
it’s the one you’re most likely
going to use, it is probably in
your best interest to start selecting for bloat tolerance in your
herd.”
Bloat management
But selection only works when
producers know the history of
the cattle in their herds, said
Gerrish.

“If you’re doing stock and
they’re coming in from sale
barns from who knows where,
and you know nothing about
their background, then you
really need to be on your toes
about bloat management,” he
said.
In those instances, products
that contain poloxalene — the
main chemical in bloat guards
— can be worth the cost.
“A lot of people complain
about the mineral and say it’s
too expensive to feed,” said Gerrish. “Well, you don’t have to
feed it the entire time they’re on
this property.”
Gerrish suggests feeding a
bloat guard five days prior to
moving into any pasture with
high alfalfa content and then
feeding it as the cattle graze
through the area.
“As soon as we’re off that
alfalfa, we go back to feeding
either no mineral or feeding a
lower-cost mineral,” he said.
“If you’re grazing alfalfa
steadily for 120 days, then yeah,
you’re going to have that higher
cost associated with it. But
it doesn’t take too many dead
animals to pay for quite a bit of
bloat guard mineral.”
He steers clear of the bloat
blocks, though, preferring to
use loose mineral products
instead.
“You can have bloat blocks in
the field and still have animals
die from bloat. They never lick
on a block, so they don’t get the
treatment,” said Gerrish.
“When we have used the
loose mineral with poloxalene,
the success rate of preventing
bloat has been much, much
higher.”
Some ranchers, he said, use
laundry soap as a cheaper alternative to other chemicals, since
poloxalene is a detergent.
“It’s bizarre — you get in a bar
and there’s cowboys there arguing about the relative merits of
Tide versus Cheer,” said Gerrish.
“There are people who do
that on a regular basis and
swear that it absolutely ended
their bloat problem.”

ram entered the arena in a royal
attitude and brought $198.85
($0.97 per pound). An excellent breeding 185-pound Suffolk-cross ram brought $175.75
($0.95 per pound). The prices
ranged from $0.82 to $0.97 per
pound. The sheared rams were
within this price range, as well.
No heavyweight lambs were
delivered.
Three groups were sold in the
market lamb classification. A
100-pound Suffolk-cross lamb
brought $110 ($1.10 per pound).
A 100-pound Rideau-cross lamb
brought $115 ($1.15 per pound).
A group of 25 100-pound lambs,
which were grain fed and
noticeable, brought $177 ($1.77
per pound).
The bidding remained strong
for feeder lambs, continuing
from the market lamb bidding.
The price ranged from $1.62 to
$1.77 per pound, for the weight
ranging from 80 to 93 pounds.
Bidding was affected by the quality of the goat does. The 65- and
113-pound Boer-cross does
were slightly less of interest for
the buyers, and the price indicated this situation. The dairy
goat does were represented by
Alpine-cross goats. These goats
were more similar in development and structure, comparable with the close price bidding.
However, further finishing could
have been required for most
does delivered for this sale.
Four-family units were available for the buyers, a doe with a
kid or kids. Buyers appeared to
be less enthused compared to
the ewes with lambs. The quality of the goat does could have
been more improved. The price
ranged from $0.76 to $1.18 per
pound.
The selection for goat bucks
was limited, but buyers could
find something of interest. Quality created strong bidding for
this sale. An impressive 160pound Boer-cross buck entered
the arena and his presence was
immediately known and he displayed himself. He brought $215
($1.34 per pound). Three young
62-pound Boer-cross bucks
brought $141 ($2.27 per pound).
A 120-pound Alpine-cross buck
brought $120 ($1 per pound).
Three 42-pound Pygmy-cross
bucks brought $77 ($1.83 per
pound).
The goat kid bidding remained
constant and strong for most of
the weights. The prices ranged
from $1.47 to $2.31 per pound.
However, the real lightweight/
small goat kids (22 to 29 pounds)
did not reach this price range.
The Ontario Stockyard Report
indicated that the various weeks
in the month, the lamb classifications varied and the sheep
prices. The goat kids remained
constant and held by the strong
bidding from the buyers.

PED virus costly for manure applicators
Applicators taking extra precautions and spending more time washing equipment
By Meghan Mast
Co-operator staff
M
uch is still not known
about the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus
infiltrating the pork industry.
Researchers are investigating the
virus’s survivability, but what they
do know is that PED thrives in
wet, cold environments and is
spread by fecal-oral contact.
Manure applicators, like others
working near or with the pigs, are
taking extra precautions to stop
the disease from spreading. They
want to stay clear of the pigs altogether and are asking producers
to install separate washing stations and build a separate driveway to the lagoons.
“I don’t want to be around
the barn,” said Merv Kornelson,
custom manure applicator for
BMG Nutrient Management. “If
I can stay in the back, there’s less
chances (of cross-contamination).”
He shared his thoughts with
a group of interested researchers, producers and other manure
applicators during a biosecurity

session at a field day at the University of Manitoba Research
Station at Glenlea last week.
Not everyone can afford to
build a separate driveway. So
Kornelson must spend extra time
washing his equipment.
John Carney, executive director of the Manitoba Livestock
Manure Management Initiative (MLMMI), said they wanted
to understand how PED has

practices. A recent survey found
34 per cent of applicators find
cleaning equipment is “hard.”
The survey questioned just
under 50 commercial manure
applicators during the North
American Manure Expo.
Applicators reported changing farm communications, procedures and employee training,
and 23 per cent reported buying
PED-specific equipment. But of
all the changes proposed, applicators reported cleaning was the
most difficult aspect of the PED

but does follow protocol and
wash when going from a feeder
barn to a sow barn. This extra
time results in substantial lost
revenue because the equipment
is expensive.
Expensive downtime
As Kornelson spoke, a man in the
audience raised his hand.
“According to my quick calculation, at about $1,200 an hour,
that’s some pretty expensive
downtime,” said Doug Redekop,
another custom manure applicator. “Not to mention that God
isn’t giving us any more time at
the end of the season to offset
that downtime.”
Establishing a line of separation is crucial. Reducing the
number of people contacting the
pigs lessens the opportunity for
the virus to spread. Today most
manure applicators bring their
own water, because some producers store their water near the
pig barn.
“This stuff doesn’t just magically jump from here to down
the road and get into a pig,” said
Carney.
MLMMI, in conjunction with
the Manitoba Pork Council and
Manitoba Agriculture, Food and
Rural Development, is conducting a new study to help identify
undiagnosed farms and then
assess the virus’s survivability.
They are asking pork producers
to pick up a kit from their local
GO office and then submit a
manure sample.
In the meantime, Carney
wants policy-makers to fund
biosecurity for manure applicators so farmers can build separate driveways and washing
stations.
“You can’t keep kicking the
can down the road,” said Carney.
“Pigs will keep pooping.”

What’s on the horizon?
Protect yourself
from severe
weather.
S
evere weather conditions often occur
during Manitoba summers. Thunder, lightning,
hail and even tornadoes can develop quickly and
have the potential to be extremely dangerous.
That’s why it’s important for you to understand the risks
created by severe summer weather and how you can protect
yourself — weather or not.
Look for the signs
Hot and/or muggy days and warm nights indicate thunderstorms may be forming — so be
prepared. Keep your eyes on the sky and watch for the possible development of storms.
Listen for the warnings
Environment Canada monitors the weather and issues severe weather warnings. Check your local
television or radio station regularly during the summer to see if any severe weather is expected in
your area. Purchasing a Weatheradio receiver would also give you 24-hour-a-day access to Environment
Canada’s weather watches and warnings.
Take shelter
When severe weather threatens, find shelter immediately. Do not follow storms in your car or attempt to take
photographs. If you’re indoors, take shelter in the basement. If there is no basement, find shelter in a small
interior ground floor room away from windows. If you are in an office or apartment building, take shelter in an
inner hallway or room, preferably in the basement. If you are caught outdoors, lie flat in a ditch or other low-lying
area and cover your head.
Be prepared
Storms often strike quickly so it’s important that you have a plan in place before severe weather hits.
Prepare a “72 Hour” emergency kit — Your kit should include food, clothing, blankets, medication, bottled water
and first aid and tool kits, as well as flashlights and a battery-powered radio — with extra batteries for both. You
should have enough supplies in your kit to last 72 hours.
Reduce the hazards on your property — Trim rotting or dead branches and cut down dead trees on your property.
You should also check the drainage around your house to reduce the possibility of basement flooding. Secure
everything that might be blown around or torn loose. Flying objects such as garbage cans and lawn furniture can
injure people.

Off to a warm and dry start
Forecast issued Aug. 11, 2014, covering the period from Aug. 13 to 20, 2014
Daniel Bezte
Co-operator
contributor
O
nly problem with last
week’s forecast was that
we saw two cold fronts
move through last weekend
instead of just one. The first
moved through Saturday, bringing a few quick-moving thunderstorms. The second moved
through on Sunday, bringing
scattered clouds, the odd shower
and cooler temperatures. Hopefully the forecast for this week
will be as accurate!
It looks like this forecast period
will begin warm and dry as a
building ridge of high pressure
to our west slowly moves to the
east during the week. We should
see plenty of sunshine and high
temperatures in the upper 20s
to maybe even 30 C early in the
week. As this ridge of high pressure moves to the east it is forecast to flatten, starting around
Friday. This will allow a weak
area of low pressure to move
overtop of the ridge, bringing
with it partly cloudy skies along
with a few showers and thunderstorms. We’ll likely see these
conditions last right through
the weekend before this system
moves off to the east. Sunday
looks like it will be the cloudiest and wettest day as the low is
forecast to be directly over us.
For next week we should see
the weekend low move off to the
northeast on Monday, allowing
for clearing skies and slightly
cooler weather. Highs for the first
half of next week are expected
to be in the mid-20s, with overnight lows in the lower teens. The
overall pattern also looks like
it will change next week as the
flow becomes more zonal (west
to east). This will allow systems
coming in off of the Pacific to
move quickly eastward, bringing
increasing chances of unsettled
weather as the week moves on.
Currently, the models show a low
moving through during the second half of next week, bringing
rain to central regions along with
cooler temperatures.
Usual temperature range for
this period: Highs, 19 to 29 C;
lows, 7 to 14 C.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies compared to historical averages over
the 30 days ending Aug. 7. You can see just how dry it’s been across nearly all of agricultural Manitoba during this period; the only
wet area was around The Pas. Farther west, much of northern and western Saskatchewan was wetter than average, as was
east-central Alberta.
Just how well do you
know your weather?
Which are the facts? Which are the myths? Which are both or neither?
Daniel Bezte
Co-operator

A
s we’ve just passed the
middle of summer and
some of us are starting
to think about fall and back
to school, I thought maybe
we could take a look at a few
weather facts and myths I’ve
heard over the years.
The first weather fact or
myth is probably the one that
drives me the craziest — so
much so that I spend a little
extra time when I teach Grade
9 astronomy to try and clear
this one up.
Fact or myth? We are warm/
hot in the summer because
Earth is closer to the sun.
This is a myth. It’s true
Earth’s orbit is not circular, so
at different times of the year we
are closer or farther away from
the sun. The average distance
from Earth to the sun is about
150 million km. In the summer
we are actually farther away
from the sun at about 153 million km; in the winter we are
closest at about 147 million.
It is the increased day length,
along with the higher sun angle
in the summer, that gives us
the warmer temperatures.
Fact or myth? El Niño brings
warm winters to our part of the
world.
This is neither a fact nor a
myth. El Niño can set up a general atmospheric circulation
pattern that favours milder
winter weather in our region,
but this is not a guarantee.
Looking back at the last dozen
or so El Niño winters we find
just under half of them had
milder-than-average temperatures. The remaining years
were almost split between
“around average” and “colder
than average.” So, I guess if
you were to say El Niño years
favour near- to warmer-thanaverage temperatures, then
most of the time you would be
right.
Fact or myth? Red sky at
morning, sailors take warning;
red sky at night, sailors’ delight.
Var iations of that quote
are found in the Bible and in
Shakespeare’s work, along with
numerous more recent publications. This is another one
that’s not quite fact, but not a
myth either. Weather patterns
in our part of the world, for the
most part, move from west to
east. Sunrises and sunsets tend
to be red if there are particles
in the atmosphere that help to
scatter the light coming in from
the sun. These particles usually remain airborne due to the
atmosphere being stable (high
pressure). If we see a red sky in
the evening, it can often mean
stable air is located to our west
and should be moving in. In
the morning the stable air is to
our east and is moving away.
I have to add a little bit to the
“morning” part. Often, in the
morning, if clouds are moving
in from the west as the sun is
rising, this will create a red sky
and I think this is probably a
better explanation for the second part of the quote.
Fact or myth? Low pressure
inside of a tornado causes
buildings to explode.
This is definitely a myth.
While the pressure is lower
inside a tornado it is not that
sudden drop in pressure that
destroys buildings; it’s the
incredibly fast-moving winds
that do all the damage. So
don’t worry about opening
your windows to try and equalize the pressure; just find the
safest place in your home if
you see a tornado approaching.
Fact or myth? The sky above
you is clear, so you can’t get hit
by lightning.
This is a myth. Ever hear the
term “out of the blue,” as in
“a bolt out of the blue”? That
term originated from lightning that seems to come out
of a clear blue sky. While it is a
myth that lightning can come
out of a clear blue sky, lightning can occasionally travel
upward of 30 km sideways
from an existing thunderstorm. This means that while
it might be clear where you are,
it doesn’t mean you can’t get
hit by lightning from nearby
storms.
Fact or myth? Animals can
sense a change in the weather
before we can.
This is a tough one. If you
have animals or have ever
owned animals, you will probably say this is fact. I know I’ve
seen it, usually with thunderstorms. Some research shows
animals can hear thunder from
farther away or they can sense
a change in air pressure that
may be associated with bad
weather moving in, and this
can give them the ability to
sense bad weather a few minutes earlier than we can. Other
research has shown very little
correlation between animal
behaviour and weather. I think
I will leave this one up to you.
Fact or myth? If a tornado
approaches, take shelter in the
southwest corner of your basement.
This is a myth. Tornadoes
can move in any direction and
often change direction very
quickly. Also, tornado winds
are swirling around the tornado and therefore it is almost
impossible to sit there and
watch a tornado approach, figure out which part of the tornado will hit you, decide the
wind direction, then seek the
appropriate location for shelter. By then it’s too late and you
probably guessed wrong anyway. Find shelter in the sturdiest location of your home. This
location will differ depending
on the design of your house.
In our part of the world, if you
have a basement with a space
under the stairs, this is often
a good choice — unless it’s
where you store all your glass
jars!
That’s about all the room I
have for this issue. If you have
other weather facts or myths
you would like to share, please
feel free to contact the Cooperator or email me directly
at [email protected].

CROPS
But lots can change between now and when the crop is finally in the bin

established for new-crop
edible beans yet, but the
outlook is bearish.
“The chatter at the recent Dry
Bean Council conference down
in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho over the
last four days was pretty much
100 per cent bearish,” Calem
“What we’re seeing in
the market (are) buyers
out there with the
impressions there are
lots of beans. So the
market has softened.”
Ma n i t o b a f a r m e r s w e re n’t
alone in planting more beans. In
March the United States Department of Agriculture estimated
American bean plantings were up
about 30 per cent from 2013; in
June it estimated acreage was up
40 per cent, Alexander said.
“What we’re seeing in the market (are) buyers out there with
the impressions there are lots of
beans,” he said. “So the market
has softened.”
But the crop is not in the bin
yet, Alexander added. Much of
Manitoba’s edible bean crop is
late and some has suffered due
to excess moisture, he said. North
Dakota beans face similar issues.
Many beans are short too,
which could lead to lower quality
during harvesting.
“There may not be the crop
there the buyers think there is,”
Alexander said. “Time will tell.”

edible bean prices, Viterra’s Calem

Alexander, Viterra senior field
representative based in Carman
told the Manitoba Pulse Growers
Association’s tour at Agriculture
and Agri-Food Canada’s Morden
Research Station Aug. 7. “Not a
lot of bulls in the room. In fact
the chatter in the room was how
low is the price going to go.”
Corn and soybeans aren’t $6
and $16 a bushel anymore either
so edible beans won’t be selling
for 40 cents a pound, he said.
“It all comes down to world
supply and demand,” MPGA
president Kyle Fr iesen, who
farms at Altona, said later in an
interview.
This year Manitoba farmers
seeded 145,000 acres of edible
beans, up from 95,000 last year.
“Guys saw edible beans, probably sunflowers and other specialty crops as good alternatives
that had more profit potential
than some of your conventional

Invasion of the body snatchers
This grasshopper munching on a sunflower in
southwestern Manitoba is being devoured by
parasitic red mites (Eutrombidium locustarum),
says Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural
Development (MAFRD) entomologist John
Gavloski. The mites feed on the blood
(hemolymph) of grasshoppers. They also
prey on grasshopper eggs. Each female mite
can lay up to 4,000 eggs, providing mite
populations the potential to increase rapidly
and substantially as grasshopper populations
increase. Research in Montana has shown
that these mites can reduce the survival and
reproduction of grasshoppers. Red mites
are fairly common this year, Gavloski said.
Lionel Kaskiw, MAFRD’s farm production
advisor based in Souris said one in seven
or 10 of the grasshoppers he saw in a
sunflower field last week had the mites. This
particular field had a high number of feeding
grasshoppers on its edges. Gavloski said it
doesn’t usually pay to spray grasshoppers
in sunflowers until there is at least 25 per
cent defoliation. photo: lionel kaskiw, mafrd

Port of Churchill opens, hoping
for record grain exports
The M.V. Ikan Suji arrived Aug. 5 to take a load of Richardson International’s wheat to Mexico
By Allan Dawson
CO-OPERATOR STAFF
T
he first ship of what’s
hoped to be a recordbreaking year was loading
wheat at the Port of Churchill
last week.
Aug. 5, the M.V. Ikan Suji
began taking on 32,500 tonnes
of No. 2 Canada Western Red
Spring wheat sold by Richardson International and destined
for Mexico.
Merv Tweed, president of
OmniTrax Canada, which owns
the port and the Hudson Bay
Railway that serves it, said it
hopes to ship 800,000 tonnes
this season, up from 640,000 last
year. “The way it’s situated now
I think we will get very close to
that number.”
The record is 729,000 tonnes
in 1977.
Almost 556,000 tonnes of
the grain shipped through
Churchill this year will receive a
$9-a-tonne subsidy introduced
when the Canadian Wheat
Board lost its monopoly in 2012.
Until then almost all Churchill’s
grain came from the board and
it was feared grain companies
would prefer to use their own
terminals at other locations. To
encourage use of Churchill during the transition to an open
market, the federal government
allocated $5 million per year
for five years. The subsidy will
be available for two more years
after this one, during which
time the port hopes to win over
grain exporters to Churchill’s
advantages, Tweed said.
“It’s all about proving to our
customers that we can deliver,”
“It’s all about proving

OmniTrax
he said. “As we continue to do
that hopefully the opportunity
to increase the market will grow
with it.”
The wheat board used to say it
was often cheaper to ship grain
from Churchill to Latin America, Africa and northern Europe
than through Thunder Bay and
the St. Lawrence Seaway. Not
only is Churchill closer to some
markets, it avoids seaway fees
and the extra cost of handling
once through Thunder Bay and
a second time through transfer
elevators to ocean-going vessels
at ports on the St. Lawrence.
Longer season?
Churchill’s disadvantage has
been its short, three-month
shipping season, but Tweed said
climate change has stretched it
to four months from mid-July to
mid-November. The problem is
convincing shipping companies
and their insurers, he added.
“We think the first shipping
date should hinge on the condi-

important port for
Richardson and
we are pleased to
have another large
shipping program in
place for 2014.”

tions and not the historical data,
Tweed said. “We felt we could
start five or six days sooner but
again that’s determined by the
vessels and operators and the
historical data… we’re hoping...
we’ll have an opportunity to put
more vessels in throughout the
year.”
Richardson International
shipped the first cargo — Manitoba wheat — from the port
October 11, 1929, on the Engava
to Liverpool, England, company
president and CEO Curt Vossen
said in a news release.
He said Richardson International remains committed to the
port.
“With record crops and the
capacity challenges we are facing each year, we are making
use of all available rail and port
terminal capacity to move farmers’ grain as quickly as possible.”
Richardson ships mainly
wheat, barley, canola and peas
through Churchill to Latin and
South America and Europe.
Meanwhile, OmniTrax is trying to diversify the port and has
proposed shipping oil. That’s
raised safety and environmental
concerns in communities along

the rail line and in the Town of
Churchill. Tweed said he would
announce an update to the plan
in the next few days.
OmniTrax is also working on
plans for when the grain-shipping subsidy ends.
“It will, in my mind, involve
provincial and federal governments and hopefully some of
the private industry that is in
the North and those that are
looking on going north,” Tweed
said.

Evaluating soybean varieties for suitability
in organic production systems
Organic growers in Manitoba have limited options right now
By Lorraine Stevenson
co-operator staff / CARMAN
A
t $25 a bushel, organic
soybeans could be a
highly lucrative crop for
organic farmers.
But right now that market
is out of reach for most due to
the limited number of varieties
suitable for organic production
systems.
A student researcher at the
University of Manitoba is hoping to change that. She is evaluating conventional non-GMO
varieties that are adapted to
Manitoba’s shorter season, evaluating conventional non-GMO
soybean varieties they could
possibly grow in Manitoba’s
shorter season.
Michelle Carkner is overseeing plot trials at the Ian N. Morrison research farm at Carman
and working with farmers on
five separate farms in southern
Manitoba this summer.
It’s the first study ever cond u c t e d i n We s t e r n C a n ada to test the agronomic
performance and determine
relative maturity rates of midand longer-season varieties
grown elsewhere in Canada.
In Ontar io and Quebec,
where soybeans have been
grown much longer, farmers
have many options among the
later-maturing, non-GMO varieties developed for the growing
conditions of those regions.
Manitoba organic soybean
growers, on the other hand,
are basically limited to growing
“I’m hoping that
my research will
really equip organic
growers with a
knowledge base of
the different varieties
and options they
have, and basic
agronomic tools if
they want to grow
organic soybeans.”

science conducting soybean varietal trials under organic production. PHOTO: LORRAINE STEVENSON
mid-season non-GMO varieties
such as OAC Prudence and OAC
Erin.
“That doesn’t give them a lot
of opportunity to check out
different varieties and see how
competitive they are with the
weeds they have in their fields,
and what kind of yields they can
get and even maturity dates,”
said Carkner during a field tour
last week.
“I’m hoping that my research
will really equip organic growers with a knowledge base of
the different varieties and
options they have, and basic
agronomic tools if they want to
grow organic soybeans.”
Carkner approached seed
companies in Ontario, Quebec
and North Dakota to see what
they recommended among
their earliest-maturing varieties. From their suggestions
she selected 15 varieties for her
research, including OAC Petrel, Toma, Tundra, Krios, Jari,
Auriga, Savannah and SK0007
plus several numbered, unreg-
istered varieties. She is also
including OAC Prudence.
While it’s early to draw conclusions, some varieties are definitely doing better than others
for weed suppression, she said
July 22.
“I have noticed, especially
with SK0007 and Jari and Savannah, that they were pretty vigorous early in the season,” she
said, adding that data collected
from the five participating farms
at Elie, Swan Lake, Somerset, St.
Pierre-Jolys and Woodmore will
add to what this study will reveal
about the varieties’ relative weed
competitiveness.
Her trials also include experiments with higher seeding rates
to see whether a denser stand
combats weeds well enough to
justify the cost of the extra seed.
The study will also generate data on podding heights,
an important consideration in
varietal selection because farmers don’t necessarily want to
have to buy special harvesting
equipment for soybeans.

Whether some of these
longer-season varieties even
reach maturity in cooler Manitoba is, of course, a big question.
Savannah, is a case in point.
“We’ll have to see if it even
matures,” she said.
However, in mid-July Savannah is looking taller and leafier than the other varieties and
therefore may be a good green
manure crop to recommend for
organic growers, she adds.
SK0007 and one unregistered
variety — SVX14T0053 — are
also doing a good job with weed
suppression.
Researchers also want to find
out what yields will be when
grown organically. Most of these
varieties yield anywhere from 40
to 50 bushels an acre, but that’s
been under conventional, nonorganic variety trials, Carkner
said.
She has set aside a block in
her plots at Carman to keep
weed free and collect comparative data on yields.
Carkner’s research is jointly
funded by Steinbach-based
Growers International Organic
Sales Inc. and the Natural
Sciences and Engineer ing
Research Council of Canada
(NSERC).
University of Manitoba plant
science professor, Martin Entz
and Carkner’s research adviser
said this work is going to generate a lot of practical information
for organic farmers.
Grain companies want
organic soybeans and are urging
farmers to grow them, Entz said.
“The markets are very strong.
“But variety selection is especially important in soybean
because we have a relatively
short season and we have to be
very careful with the varieties
that we select based on their
maturity.
“Up to now, nobody has
looked at how the candidate
varieties perform on organic
farms,” he said.

MAFRD crop report
Harvest underway but moisture still welcome in some areas
Weekly Provincial Summary
• Winter wheat harvest continues with yields ranging from
50 to 80 bu.per acre, with fusarium-damaged levels ranging
from less than one to 20 per
cent.
• Most spring seeded crops are
either filling or podding, with
some later-seeded crops finishing up flowering. Swathing or
preharvest desiccation of the
earliest-seeded spring cereals
has started.
• Symptoms of heat and moisture stress are evident; in many
areas precipitation would be
welcome.
Southwest Region
Fall rye is being swathed; winter
wheat is being desiccated; continued reports of moderate to
high fusarium levels.
Early-seeded cereals are starting to turn. Canola improved
significantly from recent rainfall. Sclerotinia present at low
to moderate levels. The major
canola disease concern is
brown girdling root rot.
Soybeans benefited from the
recent rainfall; corn and sunflowers continue to develop but
are at least two weeks behind
normal.
We e d s a r e a n i s s u e i n
unseeded and other wet areas.
Volunteer canola is a problem
in some glyphosate-tolerant
soybean fields. Grasshoppers
continue to increase in ditches
and headlands. No other major
insect issues noted.
Haying continues, with first
cut nearing completion. Quality is above average. Secondcut alfalfa harvest has begun
in some areas. There remains a
significant amount of hay and
pasture under water. Cereal
silage yields are average to
below average due to drowned
out areas; many producers are
looking at alternative feeds for
the winter. Dugouts are full.
Northwest Region
Rainfall ranged from negligible
in some parts to over 50 mm.
Approximately 10% of the
cereal crop is at the heading/
flowering stage, 65% in the
milk stage of growth and about
25% in the dough stage. Fifty
percent of the canola crop is
at some stage of flowering with
the remainder podded. For soybeans, 20% of the crop is flowering and about 80% is podded.
Approximately 10% of the field
peas are blooming with 90%
podded. Crop development is
at least two weeks behind normal.
Barnyard grass has infested
drowned-out areas and foxtail
barley is thriving in many fields.
There are reports of blackleg
and root rot in some canola
fields; no reports of significant
insect activity.
First-cut tame hay harvest
is complete with second cut
b e g i n n i n g i n m a n y a re a s.
Yields appear to be average
to above average with good
quality. Pastures are rated
in good condition but slow-
ing in growth as the season
progresses; moisture would be
welcomed.
Central Region
Warm sunny weather prevailed
for most of the week; rainfall
was variable. All areas would
benefit from rain.
Winter wheat yields range
from 40 to 70 bu but some
are higher. Fusarium is being
reported at high levels. Spring
cereals are fully headed. Fusarium is far less evident in the
spring cereals. Oats are turning rapidly, which may result
in lower bushel weights and
yields. Canola swathing may
start later this week. Soybeans
are podding. Edible beans
are fully podded in most of
the region. Corn is variable;
in some areas is significantly
set back by the earlier excess
moisture. Corn unaffected by
excess moisture is advancing
with some suffering from lack
of rain. Sunflower flowering is
complete in the most advanced
fields.
Blackleg is evident in many
canola fields. Brown girdling
root rot is reported in some
fields. Some leaf spotting is evident in soybeans, both brown
spot and bacterial blight. Root
rots are also present. Bacterial
blight is being found in edible
bean fields.
Diamondback moth and
bertha armyworm larval feeding has been minimal. There
are reports of thrip injury on
canola in western areas,. Some
sunflowers were sprayed for
lygus and/or banded sunflower
moth, with lygus more of a concern. Grasshopper control continues. European corn borer
numbers are low.
Second-cut hay harvest is
well underway.
Eastern Region
Trace rainfall amounts last
week along with warm and
sunny conditions.
Harvesting of winter wheat
began; it will move into full
swing this week. Yields range
from 50 to 80 bu/acre. Fusarium levels range from 0.6 to
3.3% with higher levels anticipated. Canola swathing began
over the weekend. Timothy
seed and perennial ryegrass
fields were swathed, and some
ryegrass was harvested. Moderate levels of rainfall over the
coming weeks would help to
preserve yield in warm-season
crops.
Until preharvest spraying of
spring cereals begins, spraying
of herbicides and fungicides is
complete unless insect pressures increase to economic
thresholds. Defoliation of soybeans due to a variety of insects
is noted but defoliation levels
remain below economic thresholds. The presence of green cloverworm is noted. In isolated
areas, wilting in soybeans is
reported.
Haying was back in full swing
last week with approximately
85% of the hay harvested. Cattle are doing well on pastures
as low spots are drying up. Pastures could use some precipitation. Availability of livestock
water is rated as 100% adequate.
Interlake Region
S c a t t e re d ra i n f a l l va r y i n g
from one to 11 mm. The drier
weather helped to advance crop
staging and allowed considerable haying progress.
Most crops bounced back
from the excessive rains in June,
and the recent heat advanced
crop staging from the slow
start. Winter wheat fields are
being desiccated or will soon be
swathed. Spring cereals are in
soft to hard dough stages. Canola is mostly podded or in late
bloom. Corn fields are tasselling and sunflowers are in full
bloom with heads as large as 25
cm across. Soybeans are podding and have fared well from
the earlier excessive rains. Forage grass seed fields continue
to be swathed and harvested,
and alfalfa seed fields are setting seed well with warm temperatures promoting leaf cutter
bee activity.
Regrowth on alfalfa fields
looks promising with many
producers doing or contemplating second cut to supplement winter feed supplies,
which are anticipated to be
short. Continuously grazed pastures are starting to run short
of palatable species of grasses.
Haying of native/coarse hay
land continues where soil moisture allows.

Exhibit shows pollination
isn’t only done by bees
Museum curator Diana Bizecki Robson hopes it helps public deepen their understanding
of all types of pollinators and to take actions that help these organisms thrive
By Lorraine Stevenson
co-operator staff
I
f you take photos of eye-catching
insects, you’ve joined the swelling
ranks of amateur bug photographers. Many people take photos of
curious insects they see, thanks to the
proliferation of digital cameras and the
smartphones most carry.
Diana Bizecki Robson, curator of
botany at the Manitoba Museum, hopes
the same curiosity prompting this photography now leads to exploring a new
website where they can learn wild pollinators’ names and the job they do.
She’s the creator of the Manitoba
Museum’s new virtual exhibit — www.
prairiepollination.ca — launched this
month to share the story of wild pollinators such as bees, wasps, beetles,
moths, butterflies and flies, and the
native plants they depend on.
Bizecki Robson has spent a decade
researching Prairie pollinators and their
habitats, helping make new discoveries
about interrelatedness between wild
pollinators and the plants of Prairie ecosystems. What often strikes her is how
little the public knows about the role of
pollinators.
There’s been heightened awareness
about domestic bees, and butterflies,
of course, but not about the role of wild
pollinators in food crop production.
Bees in general are among the most
important pollinators on the Prairies,
but flies, especially flower flies, are the
next most important.
“A lot of people don’t realize that flies
are actually pollinators — potentially
some of them appear to be pretty good
pollinators of crop plants,” says Bizecki
Robson.
“We know, for example, that bee flies
visit canola but which species of bee
flies and how abundant they are and
how important they might be... nobody
has really looked at it yet.”
Wasps, beetles, moths and ants are
other examples of wild pollinators.
Theirs is a fascinating story too,
but one usually told only in technical
papers and obscure journals only scientists read, adds Bizecki.
Their virtual exhibit is a way to make
public many of the collections at the
museum that aren’t on display in the
galleries.
“This is a way of taking complicated
scientific research that I’d been compiling and putting it into a format that’s
attractive to look at and easy for people
to understand,” she said.
Criddle collection featured
The online exhibit includes galleries
featuring both endangered and common Prairie plants, and their insect and
bird pollinators. There are virtual tours
of wild Prairie landscapes where pollination experts talk about the science,
plus a free PlantSpotting app available
for Android and Apple devices for posting one’s own photos of wild plants and
pollinators.
The site also offers a rare glimpse of
the vivid watercolour paintings from
Diana Bizecki Robson is the Manitoba Museum’s curator of botany who created the Prairie pollination exhibit to help enhance public appreciation of
all types of wild pollinators, and motivate people to make positive changes to save them. PHOTO: LORRAINE STEVENSON
the Norman Criddle collection, which
is housed at the Manitoba Museum.
Criddle was one of Canada’s earliest
naturalists and this province’s first
entomologist who created detailed
illustrations while growing up in
southwestern Manitoba.
There are several games, activities
and lesson plans for teachers to help
students learn about the life cycles and
habitats of plants and pollinators, and
evaluate human impacts on them.
The timing couldn’t be better, given
the digital world is where most now
go to learn new things, and there
is growing interest and concern for
pollinators.
The site also shows what can be
done to mitigate the losses of pollinators. There are ideas for homeowners
and gardeners about how to improve
their habitat in their own backyards.
Many popular garden flowers are not

a good fit for wild pollinators, says
Bizecki Robson.
“I really encourage people to plant
some wild plants,” she said adding that
she’s been amazed at the diversity of
pollinators in her own backyard when
she did so. “I had a sort of ‘if you build
it, they will come’ epiphany,” she adds.
Likewise, farmers and public land
managers can do their own part to
ensure tracts of land are kept intact as
nesting habitat and native plant forage
for wild pollinators.
“The key component in having a
diverse, abundant pollinator population is having a landscape that’s highly
diverse, where there’s little patches of
prairie, and semi-natural habitat, and
bluffs that can really increase the pollinator population,” she says.
The key message she hopes their
website conveys is that pollinators
need our help, but humans need their
help even more.
“Two-thirds of our crop species
worldwide depend on wild pollinators to some degree. Those pollinators need more than just crop plants
to survive, they need wild plants
too.”
The exhibit was developed in partnership with the Virtual Museum of
Canada (VMC) Investment Program;
the Heritage Grants Program,
Manitoba Culture, Heritage and
Tourism Department, Government
of Manitoba; and The Manitoba
Museum Foundation Inc.

Extension Service food and nutrition specialist and professor in the department of
health, nutrition and exercise sciences.
I
was admiring my neighbour’s garden the
other day, especially her robust zucchini
plants. I noticed some tender, young
zucchini squash peeking out from under the
foliage.
I could almost taste the warm zucchini
bread and muffins you can make. I didn’t
plant any zucchini plants this year because
I was a little overzealous planting many different vegetables. Zucchini plants take more
space than other plants.
I think my neighbour will share a zucchini
or two to try with the recipe I have included
in this week’s column. I noticed the tomatoes in my garden are getting red and some
onions are getting large enough to sample,
so they will be added to the garden-fresh
recipe, too.
As I pondered my future menu, I thought
back to a story inspired by one of my
children.
“What’s that thing?” my daughter asked
as I pulled a zucchini from my purse after
returning home from a meeting. She was
about eight at the time.
“It’s a zucchini,” I responded. “Remember,
we had some last summer.”
“Where did you get it?” she asked. She
looked at me a little strangely because I usually do not pack a zucchini in my purse.
“Someone gave it to me. Some years, zucchini grows well, so people have lots of it to
share,” I said.
Sometimes they sneak it into your car or
on your doorstep. Sometimes they hand a
zucchini to you as you are leaving a meeting, and you put it in your purse, I thought
to myself.
“It looks like a squash, but it smells like
the sea,” she commented while examining
and sniffing the zucchini.
“It grows in a garden, not under water,”
I told her, although I was a little curious
about the aroma she detected. I sniffed
it, too. I guess she thought it smelled like
seaweed.
“It’s time to make something with it,” I
told her.

Prairie fare: prolific
zucchini has many uses
PHOTO: THINKSTOCK
She gamely put on her apron and went to
the sink to wash her hands. I was pleased.
We pulled out our bowls and measuring
cups and made muffins. She washed and
then grated the zucchini.
“This is really fun,” she said. Cooking
with kids not only teaches them skills, such
as measuring and following directions, it
makes some good memories, too.
A native vegetable of the Americas, zucchini has had several names through the
years. Early American colonists called it
“squash” based on several Native American
words. Italians named it “zucchino” and the
French named it “courgette.”
Zucchini also was known as vegetable
marrow or Italian marrow. It can be served
raw, boiled, baked, fried, steamed or stuffed.
It’s used in numerous quick-bread recipes
as creative cooks experiment with bounteous zucchini.
Zucchini is about 95 per cent water. A
1/2-cup serving has about 15 calories, plus
it contributes some fibre, vitamin C, potassium, B vitamins and beta carotene to the
diet.
Zucchini’s mild flavour makes it useful
Skillet Zucchini with
Chopped Tomatoes
1 tsp. olive oil or canola oil
1 c. chopped onion
4 small (6-inch) zucchini, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
Freshly ground pepper
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
In a large, non-stick skillet, heat oil over
medium heat; add onions and cook, stirring
until softened. Add zucchini and cook for two
minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for three to
five minutes or until zucchini is tender-crisp.
Season to taste with pepper and add a sprinkle of
Parmesan cheese if you wish.
Makes four servings. Each (1-cup) serving has
70 calories, 2 grams (g) of fat, 12 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of protein, 15 milligrams of sodium
and 70 per cent of the daily recommendation for
vitamin C.
And one more recipe because you’ll always
have one more zucchini...
in a variety of foods from salads to dessert. When selecting zucchini in a garden,
farmers’ market or at the store, choose zucchini that is heavy for its size with a narrow
diameter.
Smaller zucchini are tenderer and can
be sliced for use in soups and lasagna.
Zucchini’s mild flavour allows blending with
ingredients such as tomatoes, cheese and
onions.
Mature zucchini is tougher and has large
seeds. After removing the seeds, zucchini
can be grated and used in bread, muffins
and other foods. Rinse zucchini under running water just before you plan to use it in a
recipe. Use fresh zucchini within a few days
for best quality.
Here’s a recipe retrieved from the national
“More Matters” program of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. The program reminds us that most people need to
eat more fruits and vegetables. You can have
this vitamin C-rich recipe ready to eat in
about 20 minutes from garden to table. I like
to sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese.

Beefy Zucchini Casserole
I selected this recipe from the Peak of the
Market website (www.peakmarket.com) where
you can find loads more ideas for using the
abundant vegetables coming into season right
now.
This meaty casserole will help use plentiful
zucchini and it’s an easy dish to prepare for feeding a hungry crew at harvest. — Lorraine
1 zucchini, sliced
1 large onion, diced
1 large tomato, diced
2 c. cooked rice
1 kg lean ground beef, cooked and crumbled
1 can cream of mushroom soup
In a large casserole, place a layer of zucchini.
Place half of onion, half of tomato, half of rice
and half of ground beef. Pour half of the soup
over the top. Repeat layers beginning with zucchini. Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 1 hour.

Dear Reena,
Can you tell me what the difference
is between all-purpose flour and cake
flour?
Thanks, Elaine
Hi Elaine,
The main difference between different types of flour are the quantity of the
wheat germ and bran that are milled
with the flour, and the type of wheat
used for the flour, and the relative protein content of that wheat. The protein content in the flour influences the
amount of gluten created while kneading and leavening the flour. Glutens are
amino acid strands that make the flour
more elastic or less elastic when flour
is mixed with water and kneaded. Cake
flour consists of seven to eight per cent
of protein content while general allpurpose flour consists of 11 to 12 per
cent of protein content.
Hi Reena,
We redid our bathroom shower, floor
and around tub area in slate about 10
years ago. Our water is very hard and
leaves white mineral residue on the
slate. What would you recommend to
clean slate and should we then seal it
for protection?
Dianne
Dear Dianne,
One of the best ways to keep your
slate floors looking their best is to apply
sealant; sealing according to the directions on the product prevents water
and water-borne minerals from passing
into and through the slate. But for regular cleaning, wash the area with water
and a small amount of dish soap. To
remove stains: If the floor has coloured
grout use shaving cream to wipe stains
away. For non-coloured grout apply
three per cent hydrogen peroxide and
sprinkle on baking soda. Leave for 10
minutes and wipe (always test on an
inconspicuous area first).
For regular cleaning of tiles wash with water and a small amount of dish soap. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK
Dear Reena,
I washed a blouse and put it into
the dryer for about 10 minutes. When
I took it out, I noticed I had washed a
name tag on it. How can I get the sticky
residue off of the blouse?
Thank you, Lael
Dear Lael,
Spray the area with non-stick cooking spray. Wipe off all sticky residue.
Next, soak fabric in dish soap and
water so that no grease remains. Wash
according to fabric-care directions.
Dear Reena,
How do you get rid of scratches on
glass and mirrors?
Grace
Dear Grace,
The consensus from mirror experts
is that unfortunately, nothing can
be done to repair deep scratches.
To polish out scratches would likely
distort the reflected image. In terms
of glass, there are professional glass
restoration kits on the market that
can help your glass look as good as
new.
Fabulous tips of the week:
• To remove permanent marker from
carpet, wash area with Mr. Clean
original liquid and water. Scrub with
a brush. I used this on my light-tangerine carpet and was thrilled when
the marker came out. I can’t even tell
where the marker was.
Marion
• To get rid of the smell of fabrics
damaged by smoke smell, wash fabrics in 1 cup cola, 1/2 cup Mr. Clean
liquid and 1/2 cup Tide. My fabrics
smell as good as new!
Marion
• I like to make what I call “Rhubarb
Glue.” This is great for cleaning fabrics, toilets, floors, windows, sinks
and countertops! Boil water and rhubarb leaves or orange peels. Leave for
seven to 10 days. Drain. Pour water
into two empty ice-cream buckets.
To each bucket add 1 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup salt and 1 cup Sunlight
dish soap. Works wonderfully on
stains, smells and so much more!

True blue is good for you
Naturally blue foods have antioxidant power
By Julie Garden-Robinson
NDSU Extension Service
PHOTO: THINKSTOCK
While my son was in elementary school, he
became enamoured with blue foods. Whenever
blue was an option for snow cones or other
treats, he chose the food with his favourite colour. He especially liked a popular type of cereal
available when he was young. It coloured the
milk blue. I think he enjoyed getting a blue
tongue and lips to show me, especially when I
wasn’t expecting it.
Blue foods in nature are a rarity. My son’s
favourite treats were not naturally blue foods.
They were coloured by a mixture of purple
and blue artificial dyes, that do not provide the
health benefits linked with naturally occurring
pigments. According to researchers, adding
more naturally vibrant foods to your diet is
good for your health.
Blueberries in particular are linked with
health benefits. According to a U.S Department
of Agriculture study of more than 40 fruits and
vegetables, blueberries ranked high in antioxidant activity. A 1/2-cup serving of blueberries
had as much “antioxidant power” as five servings of other fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants
help neutralize the damaging effects of “free
radicals,” which are substances that damage
DNA and cell membranes. The damage caused
by free radicals is linked with cancer, heart disease and the aging process.
Scientists extracted the protective chemicals
from blueberries, strawberries and spinach.
They fed aging rats a diet rich in one of the
extracts. The rats fed blueberry extract came
out on top in tests of balance and co-ordination. Blueberry and strawberry extracts were
associated with protection against age-related
changes in the brain. Rats fed any of the
extracts performed better in memory-associated tasks than the rats that didn’t consume the
extract.
If you have a test to take, however, don’t
expect that eating blueberries will have an
immediate effect. Do you want to learn more
about nutrition and your brain? See http://
www.ndsu.edu/boomers for blueberry recipes
and brain information.
Other research has linked blueberries and
other antioxidant-rich foods with protection
against heart disease and stroke. Blueberries
also may provide protection from urinary tract
infection.
Although blueberries have gotten a lot of
publicity, all fruits and vegetables provide
ample nutrition. Research continues to grow
regarding the health benefits of eating at least
4-1/2 cups of fruits and vegetables daily. Enjoy
the benefits of colourful produce, and fill half of
your plate with them. And try more blue-purple
foods such as blueberries, blackberries, purple
cabbage and blue potatoes. All of these contain the antioxidant anthocyanin. Experiment a
little. Make a frosty berry smoothie by blending
1/2 cup of yogurt, 1/2 cup of orange juice and
1/2 cup of frozen berries. Top frozen yogurt
with berries or have some blueberries on your
oatmeal or other whole grain cereal.

Perennial ground covers
These versatile plants are practical and decorative
By Albert Parsons
Freelance contributor
G
round covers are plants
that do just that — cover
the ground. They have a
variety of uses in the landscape,
both practical as well as decorative. Used extensively in rock
gardens, ground covers also can
be used along the outside of a
large perennial border creating an attractive edging. Such
plants often are used in small
areas where nothing else seems
to thrive, such as between a
sidewalk and the house or in the
small triangle created by intersecting paths.
You will often see ground covers under specimen trees or
even under the shrubs and trees
in a large shrub border. Urban
planners use ground covers to
prevent erosion along roadways
that have steep embankments
bordering them. Anywhere that
is subject to water washing the
soil down a slope is a good place
for ground covers. I have also
seen ground covers used in
perennial borders and rose gardens to cover the soil beneath
widely spaced, taller plants.
One gardening friend of mine
has a peony and iris bed that is
underplanted with thyme. This
same gardener creates paths
with this delightfully fragrant
ground cover plant.
Perennial ground covers work
better than annual ones for
most of the above-mentioned
applications simply because
most of them are tough plants
that can sustain a fair bit of
abuse and are quite resilient in
terms of handling a variety of
environments. Most of them
are drought resistant, probably
because of their extensive root
systems — they do indeed have
lots of roots as the plants spread
by their trailing stems rooting as
they cover the ground.
I have mentioned thyme as
one good ground cover. It is a
sun-loving herb, and although it
will tolerate part shade, it forms
a more compact and thicker
stand if it is in full sun. In the
spring, common thyme is a carpet of mauve purple as its tiny
flowers completely cover the
plants. It is one of the best for
creating paths and although it
would not tolerate being used
on a heavily trodden path, it is
fine for a pathway that is only
walked upon a couple of times
a day. Woolly thyme is a silvergrey variety that also makes
an excellent ground cover.
Although its bloom is less spec-
tacular than that of common
thyme, some gardeners prefer
its distinctly coloured foliage.
Another silver ground cover
is snow-in-summer. Although
it does not hug the ground like
thyme, it does produce a solid
mat, albeit quite a bit taller than
some ground covers. Its white
flowers produced in early summer give it its common name,
as they are as white as snow.
I shear it after it has bloomed
to make it more compact and
attractive for the rest of the
summer.
Sedums and stonecrops are
wonderful ground covers, their
fleshy, succulent foliage often
having traces of burgundy or
gold. They all produce long-lasting flowers on stems that stand
above the carpet of foliage.
These can be snipped off once
they are done. The ground cover
sedums are not the “showy
sedums,” such as “Autumn Joy.”
This is a huge plant family so be
sure to read tags carefully before
making a purchase.
Perennial vinca has probably
the longest stems of any ground
cover that we can grow. In fact,
vinca vine often is used in
hanging baskets where its variegated white and green leaves
on the wiry, pendulous stems
Besides attractive foliage, ground covers produce colourful bloom, such as the
purple thyme and yellow stonecrop pictured here. PHOTO: ALBERT PARSONs
add interest. It produces darkviolet flowers. Vinca vine will
have to be trimmed to keep it
contained, but in a larger area
where it can run free, it is a good
ground cover. It will take quite a
bit of shade as well.
If ground covers are required
in shady spots, lily of the valley and lamium are two of the
best. Both are quite invasive,
as are many perennial ground
covers, so they should only be
planted where this spreading
ability will not create a problem.
Whether it is to prevent erosion,
to carpet a rose garden, or to
cover the ground of a large back
corner somewhere in the landscape, there will be a perennial
ground cover that will do the
job for you. What useful plants
they are!
Albert Parsons writes from Minnedosa,

Puzzle by websudoku.com
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!
