Built in 1912, the Dominion Exhibition Building No. II is being
refurbished to resume its place as a host for community events
BY JENNIFER PAIGE
Co-operator staff / Brandon
O
nce a hub of agricultural activity, in
recent years Brandon’s Dominion
Exhibition Building No. II has been
left idle and close to disrepair. Fearing
loss of the valued landmark, in 2009 the
Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba took on
the challenge of restoring the building to
its former glory.
“As both an organization and a community we have a lot of history here. It would
be a shame to see this building be knocked
down,” said exhibition chair Stan Cochrane.
The building, which sits on the Keystone
Centre grounds in Brandon, is one of few
remaining buildings from Canada’s Dominion Fair era and a rare surviving example of the country’s agricultural exhibition
history.
“Back in the early 1900s the federal government designated a city to host a Dominion Exhibition Fair every year and then
money was given and buildings were built
for every fair,” Cochrane said. “This was the
last building and last fair of its kind ever
held in 1913. After that the world war broke
out and they cancelled them and never
started the program again.”
Cochrane says the Dominion Exhibition
Fairs, which were held across Canada from
1879 to 1913, were similar to events like
Manitoba Ag Days.
“That is how they spread the word. If there
were new things coming out in agriculture,
the fair is how they promoted it. The first
day of the Dominion Fair in Brandon in

1913, there were 100,000 people here. They
came on trains and lived in tents. Fairs were
a big deal back then.”
Unlike today with the convenience of
Google and Twitter, if you wanted the latest
industry news, you had best not miss the
Dominion Exhibition Fair.
“Going to the fair was how you learned
about new things and networked with
people who were trying to do similar things
that you were,” Cochrane said.
Brandon was designated to hold the
Dominion Fair in 1912, and the building
was designed by Walter H. Shillinglaw and
David Marshall, two prominent architects
from Brandon.
“It is just amazing what they did back
in those days because they never got the
money allocated or got the fair approved
until sometime in 1912 and they had this
building all built and ready to go in 1913,”
Cochrane said.

esearchers at Purdue
University say a new
process could extend
milk’s shelf life to as long as
nine weeks.
Bruce Applegate, an associate professor of food science,
says he and other researchers
rapidly heated and cooled mik,
which significantly reduced the
number of harmful bacteria.
Applegate and collaborators from Purdue and the
University of Tennessee published their findings in the
journal SpringerPlus.
They used milk inoculated
with bacteria and quickly
raised the milk’s temperature
by 10 C, then just as quickly
lowered it, without reaching
the 70 C threshold that’s considered pasteurization. They
found increasing the temperature of milk by 10° for
less than a second eliminates
more than 99 per cent of the
bacteria left behind after
pasteurization.
“It’s an add-on to pasteurization, but it can add
shelf life of up to five, six or
seven weeks to cold milk,”
Applegate said.

researchers developed a process that extends the shelf life of milk. PHOTO: Purdue Agriculture Communication/Tom Campbell
The treatment lowered bacterial levels below detection
limits, and extended shelf life
to up to 63 days.
“ With the treatment,
you’re taking out almost
everything,” Applegate said.
“Whatever does survive
is at such a low level that it
takes much longer for it to
multiply.”
Phillip Myer, an assistant
professor of animal science
at the University of Tennessee
and a co-author of the paper,
said the process uses the
heat already necessary for
pasteurization.
“The process significantly
reduces the amount of bacteria present, and it doesn’t
add any extra energy to the
system,” Myer said.
Myer said the promise
of the technology is that it
could reduce waste and
allow milk to reach distant
locations.

Cigi course highlights customer relations
The reliability of Canadian wheat is the theme of Cigi’s annual international program
“Sometimes you cannot go to a certain part of the
country because of the fight, sometimes roads are
closed for battles that happen suddenly.”
BY SHANNON VANRAES
Co-operator staff
T
hey come from 16 different countries, but have
one thing in common —
Canadian wheat.
Participants in the 49th annual
International Grain Industry
Program at the Canadian
International Grains Institute,
better known as Cigi, are in
Canada to learn more about
where the grain they buy comes
from, how it is grown and how it
is shipped.
“Partly we’re saying thank you
to them for being good customers, but the big piece is just reassuring them again about the
quality system in Canada,” said
Rick Morgan, special projects
adviser at Cigi. “We want to make
sure they see how government
and industry work together to
ensure that what the customer
receives is what they are expecting to receive.”
For Haitham Al-Khshali, director general of the Grain Board of
Iraq, the two-week-long program
has only helped to solidify his
appreciation of Canadian wheat.
While he would like to see more
grain harvested in his home
country, the current political situation has generated many pitfalls
for agricultural producers there.
“They have a lot of obstacles,
as you know they have a fight
against ISIS, this fight is really a
great conflict between Iraqi people and terrorists and this takes a
great effort,” Al-Khshali said.
“Sometimes you cannot go
to a certain part of the country
because of the fight, sometimes
roads are closed for battles that
happen suddenly.”
The so-called Islamic State or
Daesh has also been aggressively
targeting grain silos in the war-

ravaged country, either razing
them or capturing them.
“These people are crazy and
they have destroyed everything
in the country... this is not logical
for any person,” said Al-Khshali,
adding that ongoing military
conflicts have also destroyed
generational knowledge in Iraq.
Youth may go off to fight, people are also killed at home, forced
off their land or internally displaced, he said, leaving either no
one to teach the next generation
about farming or no one to learn.
Education systems have also
been disrupted.
As a result, Iraq depends heavily on foreign imports of wheat,
particularly from Canada.
“We are really happy that we
deal with Canadian wheat, we
have dealt with it for a long time,”
he said, noting Iraq had purchased 100,000 tonnes of wheat
from Richardson only three
months earlier and had made an
order for that same amount three
months prior to that.
Canada, China canola
talks end without deal
He said that the kind of training provided by Cigi is exactly
what his country’s millers and
growers are looking for, and
that he hopes the relationship
between the institute and Iraq
continues to be a strong one.
Nigeria has also been increasingly reliant on Canadian wheat
in recent years, although for very
different reasons.
“Canadian wheat is not new
to Nigeria, but we have seen
the import of Canadian wheat
into Nigeria double in the last
couple of years, to be precise, I
think from 2008 the import value
of Canadian wheat was about
C$12.3 million, which rose to
about C$160.5 million by 2013,”
said Emmanuel Mshelia of Royal
Mills and Foods Limited in Karu
Abuja, Nigeria. “And if you look at
the figure for exports of Canadian
merchandise to Nigeria in 2015,
it stood at about C$469 million,
which is a lot of growth.”
Demand for high-protein
wheat, which is usually blended
with lower-quality wheats, has
been driven by a growing and
increasingly urban population.
That same population is also
seeking convenient foods that
require little preparation, Mshelia
added.
Instant Asian noodles are one
of the most popular choices for
consumers and the main product
produced by Royal Mills.
“Asian noodles were introduced into the Nigerian market
I think about 22, 25 years ago,
and it has gained acceptance by
almost all category of people,”
he explained. “Because of the
convenience of cooking, it’s very
fast… lifestyles have changed.”
Royal Mills plans to double
production in the next year, tripling it with the next five years,
importing more Canadian wheat
as it expands. However, due to
low oil prices and a deepening
recession, overall wheat imports
to Nigeria are expected to shrink
in 2017.
“We are aggressive as a company and we have been able to
come out with a very good product, which is very, very fast taking over the market,” Mshelia
said, adding the characteristics
of Canadian Western Red Spring
wheat is particularly well suited
to instant noodle production.
Morgan said that presentations on noodle making, milling
and baking were all a part of the
program, which allowed customers to really get to know the
Canadian system of production.
I M P O R T A N T
“There were many questions
asked and many questions
answered,” he said, adding that
the program has been adapted
many times since its inception
nearly five decades ago. The end
of the Canadian Wheat Board’s
single desk has also changed the
interactions participants have.
“We have a bit more opportunity to introduce them to some
other Canadian crops as well,
and some of their countries are
also importing other Canadian
crops, like canola and pulses and
things like that,” Morgan said. “So
we spend a little bit of time on
those kinds of crops as well, and
have presentations by groups
like Pulse Canada and the Canola
Council that didn’t happen in the
past.”
There was also a presentation
by Grain Farmers of Ontario,
before the group headed to
Vancouver to see wheat being
loaded onto ships.
“When the wheat board was
around, it was pretty focused on
western wheat and now we have
the opportunity to include something about eastern Canadian
wheat as well,” he said.
Some of the participants had
been in Canada before, but it has
been decades since a representative from Iraq has participated.
For others it was their first trip to
Canada.
“This is my first and I hope it
won’t be my last,” said Mshelia.

OPINION/EDITORIAL
Safety first
BY GORD GILMOUR
Co-operator Associate Editor
A
few years ago I had what I now
ruefully refer to as a series of
unfortunate events.
It began innocently enough with a
phone call one Saturday morning from
a friend, wondering if I could help him
Gord Gilmour
move a couch.
Associate Editor
An hour or so later, on a frosty March
morning, we were wrestling it out of the
side door of his house when I suddenly felt both feet slip out
from under me and one ankle jammed against the foundation
of his house so loudly I heard a pop.
Being a man I insisted it was just a really bad sprain and
hobbled back to my place to ice it. After a couple of days it
hadn’t got any better. In fact, the bruise was so pronounced
the whole foot was turning black. Upon seeing the damage
first hand, one friend announced, “Gord, that looks like a
corpse’s foot. I’m taking you to the hospital.” Turns out I’d
broken the ball off the big bone in my lower leg and required
surgery to repair it.
A couple of days later, I got surgery and an overnight hospital stay, and was released to the world hobbling around on my
crutches.
If the story ended there, you’d think, “so what?” But of
course there’s a punchline.
About three days later, clumsy fellow that I can be, I managed to fall off the crutches and sever the connection between
my patellar tendon and kneecap on the other leg.
Back to the hospital I went for a second, and even larger
and more invasive, surgery to fix this new problem. For
those of you keeping score at home, this left me with one
leg I couldn’t put weight on for six weeks and another that I
couldn’t bend for about the same length of time.
A good friend put it best when he came to visit me in the
hospital and inquired, “So, basically, you’re just a really
mouthy paperweight for the next while?”
All I could do was agree. I certainly couldn’t chase him
down and make him take it back.
I don’t tell this story looking to garner any sympathy. It’s
years in the rear-view mirror. I’ve made a near-total recovery
and picked up some new weather prediction skills while I was
at it. And the perspective of time has turned the whole experience into a bunch of funny stories and a few valuable life lessons on important topics like patience and empathy.
Still, if I could go back to prevent it from happening I
would. It was painful, disruptive and that knee will never
quite be the same. And doubly so because I know with crystal
clarity I could have prevented both injuries if I’d just slowed
down for a few seconds and made sure I was progressing
safely.
I saw the patch of ice I slipped on when moving the couch,
but it looked like it was well out of the way of the path. I recall
thinking, “we should put something on that,” but of course we
didn’t. Then the reality of moving an eight-foot-long piece of
furniture forced me off the path and right onto it so my friend
could clear the door frame. The rest is very painful history.
As for falling off my crutches, I knew that I was struggling to
adapt to them. I also knew there was better technology available for rent, such as knee scooters. I just hadn’t got around
to getting one yet before it all caught up with me.
I do tell this story to you as a cautionary tale. Every accident
that’s ever happened always has multiple points when the
whole chain of events could be stopped dead. It’s the reason
safety advocates and even some law enforcement and emergency responders are loath to call events “accidents,” because
baked into that wording is the assumption nothing could
have possibly prevented it — when nothing is further from
the truth.
The fact of the matter is Manitoba farms are just entering
one of their busiest seasons, as the hard work of the spring
and summer culminates in harvest.
The days will be long, the pressures high and too often
inclement weather will loom. There will be a terrible temptation to cut corners. Fatigue will catch up with you. Sometimes
risks will flat out be missed in the hustle. I know all of this
and I know little can change this reality.
But taking just a bit longer can often be the most efficient
way to accomplish your work. After all, an injury is at best a
time waster and at worst a crisis. And I suppose a fatal accident would free you from the tyranny of the calendar but I
don’t think I’m putting words in anyone’s mouth when I say
we’d all probably be happy to give that option a pass.
Accidents always spring from error of the human kind. They
can happen very quickly and are irrevocable. Once they happen, all the wishing in the world won’t take away the effects.
With harvest underway in parts of Manitoba and right on
the verge in others, I just want to wish you all the best for a
smooth, profitable and safe harvest.
You deserve it — and so do your families.

Consumers need to manage
food packaging waste
BY PAUL BOOTSMA
CFFO
S
ince early in May Tim Hortons has been
removing garbage bins from drivethrough lanes. Some have been placed in
less obvious locations on the store properties.
Tim Hortons is concerned customers don’t
have enough time to properly sort their garbage into bins placed alongside drive-through
lanes, so it has taken the trash cans away.
They were also finding too much trash from
other sources, which is one reason given for
the changes.
“The recent changes we’ve made to the
placement of our exterior waste and recycling
units are meant to improve the accuracy and
efficiency of our waste diversion programs,”
the company said in an emailed statement to
the Globe and Mail when the changes began
this spring. “Our goal with the new waste
and recycling unit locations is to provide our
guests with enough time to sort materials into
the appropriate compartments, which can
be difficult in a quick-moving drive-through
lane.”
I have often observed that these waste and
recycling bins are messy. It takes time for
employees to clean up and hopefully they will
not get stung by a bee in the process. This is
a cost to the franchise and therefore it makes
sense (cents) to make changes. So people will
need to go out of their way to dispose of their
garbage. This puts the responsibility of garbage disposal onto the consumer.
Because consumers purchase a good
amount of processed food as part of their
weekly diets, we end up with a significant
amount of packaging that is typically thrown
out. Throwing out this garbage is very easy
to do. It gets picked up for us and delivered
to the landfill site. We pay for the cost of this
through our taxes. If more responsibility for
garbage disposal is placed on the consumer,
would they then in turn opt for less packaging
with their purchases?
Waste is a big topic lately, and here in
Ontario, the government has upcoming
‘Waste Free Ontario’ legislation. Food waste is
certainly a big part of the equation in the food
sector, but packaging needs our attention as
well to reduce environmental pollution. As
landfills are filling up to their maximum use
and less land is available for these sites, work
needs to be done on reducing the waste that
goes to landfill sites in the first place. We need
to keep our agricultural land for food production and often landfill sites take up this asset.
What needs to be determined is the most
efficient and environmentally friendly process to dispose of garbage and then society
should encourage government to support that
process.
Perhaps Tim Hortons has it right. If you
purchase products with throw-away packaging, it’s your responsibility to dispose of it
properly. If you don’t like to, don’t purchase
it. As for coffee cups, bring your travel mug
next time you order a coffee through the
drive-through.
Paul Bootsma is the field service manager of the Christian
Farmers’ Federation of Ontario.
OUR HISTORY: August 1986
C
anadian Co-operative Implements Ltd. (CCIL) started
in 1940 as a co-op to market equipment and later
manufacture its own. In 1973, CCIL built a large
plant in Winnipeg to manufacture combines, swathers,
discers, cultivators, harrows and other equipment. The
decision turned out to be a poor one for the company, and
it struggled for several years. In 1986 it merged with Vicon
Manufacturing, keeping its former logo but renaming the
company as Cereal Implements, as seen in this ad in our
Aug. 14, 1986 issue. However, it continued to struggle and
was placed in receivership in 1991.
As a reminder of how communication has changed, the
NFU had sent a message to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
asking him to take action against the U.S. for its grain export
subsidies. The message was sent by telegram.
Manitoba Crop Insurance had announced extension of
winter wheat coverage to the Red River Valley if growers
used Dithane (mancozeb) to control rust. Cost was said to
be expensive at $15 an acre. Meanwhile the new fungicide
Tilt was being tested in the province, and manufacturer
Ciba-Geigy hoped to have it registered in 1988.
The Winnipeg Commodity Exchange had rejected
appeals of three members who had been expelled and
fined $375,000. Two of the traders were later prosecuted
and jailed for fraud.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK
Biofuels are mankind’s greatest blunder
Proponents of biofuels are simply refusing to count their true environmental cost
By Gwyn Morgan
TroyMedia
A
re biofuels really greener
than the fossil fuels they
displace?
In a recent column I pointed out
that electric cars are only as green
as the fuel used to generate the
electricity they consume.
For internal-combustion-powered vehicles, much of the focus
has been on trying to reduce carbon emissions by adding ethanol to
gasoline and vegetable oil to diesel.
These biofuels are sourced mainly
from cereal grain and vegetable oil.
Ethanol is manufactured by fermenting and distilling grain, while
vegetable oil comes mainly from
palm trees.
Biofuel has become an enormous global industry, producing
some 100 billion litres annually.
Mandatory ethanol and vegetable
oil standards have been enacted in
64 countries.
But biofuels fail on several fronts.
First we need to correct the popular misconception that burning
biofuel produces significantly lower
emissions than gasoline or diesel.
In reality, there’s little difference.
Essentially, all of the hypothesized
emission reduction relies on the
premise that, since plants consume
carbon dioxide to grow, the carbon
they remove approximates the carbon released when burned. This is
the basis for the biofuel industry’s
claim of zero net emissions.
But just as the zero-emissions
electr ic car fallacy ignores the
environmental impacts of electricity generation, the zero-emissions
biofuel myth ignores the environmental impacts of production.
And there’s a lot of evidence that
these production impacts cause
very serious environmental damage, while exacerbating global
food shortages and creating price
escalations.
Let’s star t with ethanol fuel.
The United States and Brazil are
by far the largest producers. In the
U.S., some five billion bushels of
corn are used annually to produce
49 billion litres of ethanol fuel
through the same highly energyintensive fermentation and distillation process used to produce whiskey. That 49 billion litres of ethanol
are enough to fill 65 billion standard whiskey bottles.
Mu l t i p l e s t u d i e s , i n c l u d i n g
by the International Institute for
Sustainable Development, conclude that the fossil fuel used to
p r o d u c e c o r n e t h a n o l c re a t e s
essentially the same carbon emissions as the gasoline and diesel
displaced.
But that’s only part of the environmental impact. Rising cor n
prices have led to the draining and

wetlands. And increased fertilizer
use has sent nutrient-rich run-off
into streams and rivers, resulting
in weed-choked, oxygen-starved

other aquatic life.

sugar cane for ethanol production.
Studies show that the net effect
is about 50 per cent more carbon
emissions than by fuelling automobiles with fossil fuels.
Then there’s the food-or-fuel
issue. The cereal grain required
to produce enough ethanol to fill
the fuel tank of an average-size car
would feed one person for a year.
In 2000, some 70 per cent of global
corn imports came from the U.S.,
but that important global food supply has largely been redirected to
ethanol production. So while U.S.
Corn Belt farmers buy bigger tractors and more expensive pickups,
international food-focused nongovernmental organizations such
as Oxfam cite biofuels as contributing to food supply shortages and
price increases that disproportionately hurt the world’s poor.
What about the environmental
impacts of producing palm oil for
biodiesel?
Indonesia is the world’s largest
producer of palm oil and the island
of Borneo, in particular, is a great
place to produce it, provided you
first burn one of the world’s most
important rainforests. A visit to
this land is a depressing lesson in
the unintended consequences of
actions taken by politicians half a
world away. I have witnessed the
lung-choking smoke as hundreds
of thousands of square kilometres of rainforest were burned to
create huge industrial palm tree
farms. The same scenario is playing
out in remote parts of Indonesian
Sumatra.
How ironic that decisions aimed
at environmental benefit are permanently destroying the lungs of
our planet, obliterating the way of
life of aboriginals who have lived in
harmony with nature for centuries,
and wiping out habitat for endangered species like orangutan.

Trying to replace these ancient biofuels with fuels made from plants
grown today is one of mankind’s
greatest environmental blunders.

Manitoba cosmetic pesticide ban is healthy public policy
The new provincial government’s move to reopen this debate is poorly considered
By Kim Perrotta MHSc
and Dr. John Howard
Canadian Association of Physicians
for the Environment
M
a n i t o b a’s g ov e r n ment has reopened
the public debate
on cosmetic pesticides.
T h e p r ov i n c i a l re g u l a tions, which banned the use
of chemical herbicides on
lawns and public properties
used by children, came into
effect less than two years
ago.
On July 20, the province
launched a public consultation process on the ban with
a Twitter post that posed
the question, “Pesticide free
or weed free?” It seems an
unfortunate way to engage
residents in an important
discussion about a public policy that is directed
towards the protection of
public health.
Municipalities and provinces began banning the use
of cosmetic pesticides two
decades ago, in response
to concerns expressed by
their citizens about the serious health impacts that
appeared to be associated
with them. While companies do conduct laboratory
tests on active ingredients
in pesticide products in
order to get them approved
for sale, those tests are far
from perfect. They do not
always pick up on chronic
health impacts associated
with long-term exposures.
They do not pick up serious health impacts that can
result from subtle changes
in the hormone or immune
systems of humans. They
are seldom conducted on
the mixture of chemicals
contained in each pesticide
product. They do not reflect
the cumulative exposures
that humans experience
from many different sources.
For this reason, epidemiological studies, conducted
on populations of humans,
are used by health scientists
to identify health impacts
from exposures that people
experience in real life.
Thousands of epidemiological studies have been
directed at pesticides. In
2002, Toronto Public Health
conducted a systematic
review of 300 scientific studies conducted on pesticides
used on lawn and gardens.
Thousands of epidemiological studies have
been directed at pesticides.
When the reviewers examined studies of occupationally exposed workers, they
found that pesticides were
associated with moderate
increases in the risks for
some cancers, some reproductive effects, and some
neurological disorders.
When they examined the
long-term studies directed
at children, they found that
p re - c o n c e p t i o n , p re n a t a l
and postnatal exposure to
pesticides were associated
with moderate increases in
the risks from some cancers
and some birth defects.
In 2012, the Ontario
College of Family Physicians
conducted a systematic
review of pesticide studies
published after 2003. These
reviewers closely examined
142 well-designed studies and found that pesticide
exposures were associated
with adverse reproductive
effects (e.g. low birth weights
in babies), measurable deficits in the neurodevelopment
of children (e.g. deficits in
their mental and/or motor
development), and respiratory diseases (e.g. asthma).
In many of these studies, the
adverse effects observed in
children were related to the
exposure of their mothers
during pregnancy or to exposures early in life.
The reviewers concluded
that steps should be taken
by individuals and communities to minimize pesticide
exposures for all members
of society, and for pregnant
women and children in particular. They also noted that
previous bans directed at
pesticides that had heavy
health burdens were effective in reducing both, the
health risks in children, and
the frequency with which
pesticides were detected in
samples collected from children and the environment.
When health professionals look at these results, we
weigh the health risks against
the health benefits associated with their use. We recognize that there may be
times when the health benefits associated with the use
of a pesticide may outweigh
the health risks associated
with them (although even
in those cases, we would ask
ourselves if there were safer
alternatives). However, in the
case of cosmetic pesticides,
where the purpose is to guarantee a beautiful lawn or garden, we feel that the health
risks to our children must
take precedence. This is the
thinking behind municipal
and provincial bans of cosmetic pesticides. It is to apply
the precautionary principle;
to decide to act for the protection of our children in the
face of scientific uncertainty.

Exhibition Continued from page 1
The 1913 fair opened on July
13. It was held for 10 days and saw
200,000 visitors. The Dominion
Exhibition building went on to
host community events for several decades.
“In the 1980s we stopped using
the building for fairs and started
to use it for storage. Then it began
to deteriorate and started to leak,
so we had to decide what we were
going to do with it,” Cochrane
said.
Heritage designation
In 1984, the province listed the
building as a provincial heritage
site and in 2009, the Heritage
Canada Foundation listed the
building as one of the most
endangered structures in the
country.
“Heritage Canada actually
listed the building on its top 10
endangered places list. It was
definitely in poor condition and
something needed to be done. It
was estimated to collapse within
five years at that time,” said Daryl
The Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba
began restoring the building in 2009
and hopes to complete the project in

Knight, project manager with the
Provincial Exhibition.
Parks Canada listed the building as a rare surviving example
of the late-19th- and early-20thcentury-type of exhibition halls.
By 2009, the Dominion Exhibition building was the only surviving building in Canada that had
been constructed for the Dominion Exhibition Fairs.
“At that time the building was

housed community and agriculture events until the 1980s. being maintained by the Keystone Centre, but it could not afford the necessary repairs,” Cochrane said. “And, because of the
heritage designation, it wasn’t
able to have it torn down.”
Restoration progress
With the history of the building
in mind, the exhibition began
envisioning the restored building
to be a cultural and tourism asset
for WestMan that would house an
agriculture display, contain office
space and include an outdoor
agriculture-themed park.
The restoration began in 2009
and since then sewer and water
lines have been dug in, a fire-suppression system installed, the roof
replaced, windows restored, the
perimeter foundation replaced
and interior windows added.
“There are over 100 windows
in this building. The old original
windows were really rotted and
the original glass was broken,”
Cochrane said. “So, we took them

up to the Air Training Museum in
Brandon where they have a good
woodworking shop and they were
willing to work with us to restore
all of the windows.”
The interior posts were in great
condition with only one having
to be replaced, but the exterior
doors were a little bit more of a
challenge.
“The doors were pretty much
all gone, so we just went with pictures of what the doors are supposed to look like. We had them
installed this spring,” Cochrane
said.
Local contractors have done
more than 90 per cent of the work.
“We work through the tendering process and through that
you can really see the community support,” Knight said. “When
they submit for the tenders they
will come in with affordable rates
because they want to be a part of
the project. We have had some
very strong support that way.”
Project challenges
The project’s biggest obstacles
have been bringing the building
up to code while adhering to the
heritage designation allowances.
“The outside of the building is
100 per cent heritage and we had
to follow some very strict rules and
regulations there,” Knight said.
“With the interior we don’t have to
but we are still trying to preserve
as much of the original structure
as possible because it is the right
thing to do.”
And then of course there is acquiring funding.
“A lot of people are in favour of
heritage buildings but not a lot of
people are in favour of spending
any money and heritage buildings
are really expensive,” Cochrane
said.
The budget is $7.2 million and
so far the project has raised $3.5
million through federal and provincial cost-sharing programs,
public and private donations and
funds from the Provincial Exhibition.
Cochrane says the goal was to
have the building completed by
July of 2017 in order to take part in
Canada’s 150th anniversary.
“I feel as though we will complete it to a certain point. It may
not have the glossy finish that we
wanted it to have but we will get
there one day,” Cochrane said.
Currently, the project continues
to press forward with restoring the
exterior entranceways, the dome
towers, insulation, electrical and
communication lines as well as finalizing the interior details.
The agriculture display will include interactive displays and activities that will incorporate both
the history of the building, history
of local agriculture as well as details of modern local agriculture
activity.
The Provincial Exhibition has
plans to move its staff into the office space area and will also have
additional space for other not-forprofit agricultural groups.
Cochrane says they will continue to push forward with the
goal but have been holding back
on some work in order to have
enough funds to match a few applied-for cost-sharing programs.
“Most of the grants that we are
applying for and have applied for
are cost sharing so we need to be
cognizant of that and able to produce our portion of the funds,”
Cochrane said.

“We have been idle in terms
of cars in service really since
about May,” John Brooks, CP’s
vice-president of sales and
marketing for intermodal and
grain said in an interview Aug.
11. “So the network has a lot of
unused capacity that has been
‘wasted’ here the last three or
four months.”
Railways, grain companies
and farmers learned lessons after a record crop backed up on
the Prairies in 2013-14, Brooks
said. One is to move out as
much old crop as possible to
make room for the new one.
“I know it may not be optimal prices (for grain)… but use
the idle capacity when you can
because there is going to come
a day probably in the next two
weeks that there will not be
anymore,” Brooks said. “Unfortunately we have not seen that
materialize to the level that we
had hoped. But we will see.
“Our biggest issue right now
is the delay. It has been a slow
start to the harvest because of
this moisture. We are ready to
get it amped up.”
Equipment coming back
CP is bringing locomotives, cars
and staff back into service. It
had more than 700 locomotives
and 4,000 cars parked.
“So the network
has a lot of unused
capacity that has
been ‘wasted’ here
the last three or
four months.”
John Brooks
hours and then once delivered
unloaded in 24 hours. Brooks
said the round trip for a dedicated train is nine to 11 days.
The key to increasing CP’s
capacity is faster and longer
trains, Brooks said. More grain
is getting moved with fewer assets.
Buffer for problems
That’s fine on paper, Wade
Sobkowich, executive director
of the WGEA has said in previous interviews, but every business needs extra capacity for
when things go wrong, as they
did in 2013-14. Not only was
there a record crop to move,
but it was the coldest winter
in 100 years. Sobkowich, who
speaks for Western Canada’s
biggest grain companies, says
the railways need capacity for
when disaster strikes. He also
argues the railways are near
monopolies immune from normal market forces that would
normally compel a business
to have emergency capacity.
That’s why the WGEA wants
regulations penalizing the railways for failing to meet service
commitments.
Brooks said the railways do
compete, but it’s unreasonable
to expect them to move the entire crop in three or four months
during the peak demand.
“Hopefully there is an improved realization that the more
we can do to work together to
move maximum levels the better, but also be smart about how
we move that grain into different corridors, utilizing Thunder
Bay and over… a longer portion
of the crop year,” Brooks said.
“The other component I think
is we need everybody disciplined. It (system) has got to be
working 24-7 collectively.
However, Brooks is optimistic
about prospects for improved
movement.
“Based on my discussions
with the grain companies I
think we all better understand
what it is going to take. We have
learned lessons.”

Brooks acknowledged it’s not
unusual for grain movement
to drop off at the end of one
crop year and start slow in the
new one, but with another big
crop expected the grain system
needs every bit of capacity.
In June the Western Grain Elevator Association (WGEA) estimated Western Canada would
produce 63 million to 72 million
tonnes of grains, oilseeds and
pulse crops. Brooks said one
grain company’s latest estimate
is 72 million tonnes — not far
off the 2013 record of 76 million
and well above the five-year average of 61 million tonnes.
CP’s network is better
equipped to handle a big crop
now than it was three years ago,
having added or extended 35
sidings, giving system operators more flexibility.
“The net result of that is we
are seeing train speeds 25 to 30
per cent faster than our historical train speeds through these
corridors,” Brooks said. “When
we look at our network we feel
good… coming into this crop
year.”
About 80 per cent of CP grain
moves is in unit trains of 112 to
134 cars, Brooks said.
Meanwhile, CP’s ‘dedicated
train’ program has increased 15
per cent this year. Grain companies book trains for the entire
crop year. The companies tell
the railways where to spot the
cars and where to deliver them.
The cars must be loaded in 24

More than just bumblebees
A new research project at AAFC is assessing habitat
for the 231 different species of native bees in Manitoba
BY JENNIFER PAIGE
H
ow pollinator friendly is
your farm?
A new study being
conducted at Agriculture and
Agri-Food Canada’s Brandon
Research and Development
Centre is looking to gather data
on the province’s native bees
and create an on-farm habitatassessment tool.
“We don’t have a lot of information on native bees in
Manitoba but we are starting
to get better information,” said
Melanie Dubois, senior riparian and biodiversity biologist at
AAFC.
“For the first part of this
project we have 12 different
fields set up around Brandon,
generally within a 15-km radius,
and we are doing sampling in
those areas to find out which
pollinators are present.”
To get a better understanding
of which insects are populating
the area, the researchers have
placed a number of plastic cups
in field margins, which attract
the bees due to their colour.
Once the bees enter the cup
they drown in a solution of propylene glycol and dish detergent and are collected a week
later.
“We are focusing on the
native bees simply because
those are ones that do a really
good and efficient job of pollinating,” Dubois said.
Honeybees have not been
included in the study as they
are non-native and are considered to be livestock.
They live in the soil
Dubois says there are approximately 231 different species of
Manitoba has approximately 231
different species of native bees,
including 24 different species of
bumblebees. Photo: Jennifer Paige
The tool, called Pollinator
Habitat Assessment Form and
Guide for Farms and Agriculture
Landscapes, focuses on landscape features, year-round
resources, nesting habitats and
farm practices.
Dubois and her team have
been using the tool to assess
habitat within one kilometre of
their sampling sites.
The long-term goal of the
study will be to train individuals
to come onto the farm, determine which bees are in the area,
assess the local habitat and provide recommendations on ways
to bump populations.
Habitat species
bees in Manitoba, including 24
different species of bumblebees.
“About 80 per cent of the
bees in Manitoba live in the
soil, and they need undisturbed
soil,” Dubois said. “How much
undisturbed soil do you think
we have in Manitoba? Not a lot,
so when we talk about habitat
destruction for native bees it’s
not just losing the flowers and
food that they eat but it is nesting material too.”
The goal of the project is not
only to understand the current state of native bees in the
province but also to develop an
assessment tool to identify the
quality of the local habitat and
pinpoint areas of improvement.
T h e X e rc e s S o c i e t y f o r
Invertebrate Conservation in
Portland, Oregon developed the
assessment tool that Dubois is
using for the study.
“It should work well here
because it was designed for
the upper Midwest but we
are tweaking it a little bit and
adding in a few more components on the actual vegetation,”
Dubois said.
I M P O R T A N T N O T I C E
Dubois has been working
closely with her AAFC counterparts to select appropriate plant
species and establishment techniques for Manitoba.
“We are looking to determine
not only what species you put
in but what is the best way to
get them established and then
how do you maintain it so it
doesn’t turn into a mess of
weeds?” Dubois said. “There is
no point of coming up with an
expensive mix that then attracts
weeds. We are hoping to come
up with something that is practical to do on a farm scale.”
According to the Xerces
assessment tool, there are
a number of cover crops and
crops that provide pollen
and nectar for native bees.
Examples include alfalfa, alsike
clover, buckwheat, crimson clover, corn, Dutch white clover,
fababeans, red clover, sainfoin,
soybeans, sunflower and purple
vetch.
Dubois says that when looking at what is available to the
bees, it’s important to consider
how far they are likely to fly.
“When you are getting into
the mid-size bees, they can fly
about a kilometre but when you
are looking at the really small
bees, they might go 15 metres.”
The size of the bee and space
between their shoulders is what
determines how far they are
able to fly.
The bumblebee can fly up to
two kilometres, which is the farthest of all native bees.
“So that is when you start
to get an idea that if you want
to have a healthy and diverse
pollinator species, you have
to think about what habitat is
available to them because they
will only fly so far,” Dubois said.
Local producers sought
The study is slated to continue
through next year. Dubois is
currently looking for 10 to 12
Brandon-area canola producers
who would be willing to take
part.
“We would be looking to set
up a number of cups in and
around your canola fields. We
would place them at the time
of bloom, check them about
once and week and remove
them at the end of the season,”
Dubois said. “What you will
get is pictures for your bees,
maybe one or two samples and
a report that tells you all about
your habitat in the area, a list
of plants that are there that are
good for your bees and break it
all down for you.”

here was a slight increase in activity at
auction marts across Manitoba for the
week ending Aug. 12, but the summer
slowdown is expected to stick around another
two to five weeks before picking up, said one
local auctioneer.
“We’re going to get started on some small
volumes of the yearlings in the next few weeks
before the big sets of yearlings come out,
but we’re still probably a month away from
the busy time,” said Robin Hill, manager of
Heartland Livestock Services at Virden.
Lower feed costs, combined with a higher
futures market and the lower U.S. dollar, are
pushing feeder cattle higher, one of the auction yards reported.
There has also been an increase on the
feeder trade as the Chicago Board of Trade
strengthened, Hill said.
“When (the CBOT) goes up it’s almost like
the Bible; it makes everyone feel comfortable
paying what they’re paying and sometimes
paying more,” he said. “We’ve definitely seen
the feeder cattle and the live cattle strengthen
these past two weeks, but that might change
by next week.”
The butcher trade has been steady all summer, with activity in the currency markets
adding some support, he said.
“The cows and bulls have been pretty full
and steady… Good cows are 92 to 98 cents
(per pound), with the odd cow bringing in a
buck a pound, which isn’t too bad for a cow
that’s done her job for many years.”
Demand from out west and down south is
very good, but smaller volume makes it harder
to build loads, Hill said.
Robin Hill
Heartland Livestock Services, Virden
“Once we get into some volume yearlings and some volume calves, Ontario and
Quebec could be big players in the game
again.”
Feed and corn crops have been doing
excellent in Manitoba, contributing to the
slow season now, but will lead to some decisions in the fall, Hill said.
“The feed situation is plentiful in
Manitoba, which is great to see; the combines just started rolling here, and if the
combines are roaring we’re probably going
to stay sort of quiet until that’s done,” he
said.
“If the (cow-calf ) producers aren’t happy
or satisfied with the cow prices, they can
grow them into next year, put some feed into
them that’s not going to cost them a whole
bunch of money.”
Pastures across Manitoba are in good condition, with abundant grass growth being
reported in some areas, according to the
province’s latest crop report. The Interlake
has experienced some flooding due to excessive rain, but otherwise water supply in pastures remains adequate.

A charity looking to fight
the rise of dangerous,
drug-resistant bacteria is
asking the public to help
convince McDonald’s restaurants around the world
to stop serving meat and
milk from animals raised
with routine use of medically important antibiotics.
A week after the world’s
biggest fast-food company
took that step with poul-
try at its U.S. restaurants,
U.K.-based ShareAction
launched an online campaign enabling people to
email McDonald’s Corp.
CEO Steve Easterbrook.
The group, which promotes socially responsible investing, wants
Easterbrook to prohibit the
use of antibiotics important to human medicine in
McDonald’s global chicken,
beef, pork and dairy supply
chains, for purposes other
than disease treatment
or non-routine control of
veterinarian-diagnosed
illness.
“We hope this action will
encourage McDonald’s to
supersize their ambition,”
ShareAction chief executive
Catherine Howarth said.
Scientists have warned
that regular use of antibiotics to promote growth
and prevent illness in
healthy farm animals
contributes to the rise of
antibiotic-resistant “superbug” infections, which kill
at least 23,000 Americans
each year and pose a significant threat to global
health.
McDonald’s referred
Reuters to an earlier statement that said it was premature to set a timeline for
curbing antibiotic use in
meats other than chicken,
due to varying agricultural
practices and regulations
around the world.
“We continue to regularly review this issue,”
that statement said.

T
he ICE Futures Canada canola market climbed to a new support level
during the week ended Aug. 12. The
front-month November contract started
the week just below the $450-per-tonne
mark. However, it wasn’t long before values
climbed by more than $10 to settle around
the $460-per-tonne level. Contracts chopped
around that mark, for the most part, with
the exception of the Thursday session,
when values temporarily plunged $5 before
recovering.
Advances in U.S. soybeans came as a
welcome surprise to many who predicted
(correctly) that the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s monthly world agricultural
supply-and-demand estimates ( WASDE)
would paint a bearish picture of the soybean
market. USDA pegged soybean production
this year at 4.06 billion bushels, with yields
of almost 49 bushels an acre. That was above
analysts’ expectations and pushed down
soybeans and, by extension, canola.

other oilseeds, which was bullish for values. Concern over wet weather in parts of
Western Canada was also supportive as it
has made the size of this year’s crop harder
to gauge.
However, the deadline on China’s plan
to impose stricter dockage allowances on
imports of Canadian canola is looming on
the horizon (Sept. 1). The Canadian dollar
also firmed roughly half a cent during the
week, which put a drag on the market.
In the U.S., corn futures declined slightly
during the week due to a confluence of factors. USDA predicted this year’s corn crop
would exceed an astounding 15.1 billion
bushels, which weighed on the market.
CBOT soybeans advanced despite a bearish report. Strong demand is expected to

Western Canadian wheat bids rise with U.S. futures
Gains in U.S. wheat futures offer up some support
BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN
CNS Canada
S
pring wheat cash bids across
Western Canada showed some
strength during the week ended
Aug. 12, with gains in U.S. futures providing some support.
Depending on the location, average
Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS)
wheat prices were up by $4-$7 per
tonne, according to price quotes from
a cross-section of delivery points
across the Prairie provinces compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes).
Average prices ranged from about
$199 per tonne in Alberta’s Peace River
region, to as high as $216 in southern
parts of that province.
Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but held steady overall
to range from about $10 to $27 per

U.S. counterpart on the week.
tonne above the futures when using
the grain company methodology of
quoting the basis as the difference
between U.S. dollar-denominated
futures and the Canadian dollar cash
bids.
When accounting for currency
exchange rates by adjusting Canadian
prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids
ranged from US$153 to US$166 per
tonne. That would put the currency
adjusted basis levels at about US$22$35 below the futures.
Looking at it the other way around, if
the Minneapolis futures are converted
to Canadian dollars, CWRS basis levels
across Western Canada range from $28
to $45 below the futures.
Bids for Canada Prairie Spring Red
(CPSR) wheat reported by PDQ were
up by anywhere from $1 to $15 per
tonne over the course of the week.
Average CPSR prices came in at about
$160-$173 per tonne in Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
Average durum prices were down
by $1-$5 per tonne, depending on the
location, with bids in Saskatchewan
ranging from roughly $239 to $244 per
tonne.
The September spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which
most CWRS contracts in Canada
are based, was quoted Aug. 12 at
US$5.1375 per bushel, up 18.75 U.S.
cents per bushel from the previous
week.
Kansas City hard red winter wheat
futures, which are now traded in
Chicago, are more closely linked to
CPSR in Canada. The September
K.C. wheat contract was quoted at
US$4.1625 per bushel on Aug. 12, up
4.5 U.S. cents compared to the previous week.
The September Chicago Board of
Trade soft wheat contract settled Aug.
12 at US$4.225, up by 6.5 U.S. cents on
the week.
The Canadian dollar closed Aug. 12
at 77.15 U.S. cents, up by over a cent
relative to its U.S. counterpart on the
week.

“Biologically, chemically, and physically, you need to be looking at the limiting factors in your soil.”
In the Canadian Prairies, water tends
to be a key limiting factor when it comes
to growing crops and forages — but
there are others as well, said Collins.
This checklist covers off six other
important factors that could mean the
difference between success and failure
on your farm. While Collins was speaking to an audience of organic producers,
there’s plenty of good ideas for conventional growers to borrow too.
Year-long green
The first rule, says Collins, is “100 per
cent covered soils 100 per cent of the
time — never bare soil.
“Bare soil is a burn victim,” he said.
“If we’re maintaining our land like
that, we’re maintaining our loved one in
a hospital bed with no skin.”
That means growing a variety of
crops all throughout the year, through
intercropping, incorporating winter
crops into the rotation, and exploring
cover crop mixes.
“We need to be growing during the
growing season, growing in the winter,
and growing when other people’s fields
might be sitting under standing water.”
Soils need both aerobic — or oxygen-rich — and anaerobic — or oxygen-free — conditions, but overall,
soil is an aerobic system. “It needs to
have airflow through it.”
Warmth
Physical permeability
Compacted soils are one of the biggest
barriers to crop and forage growth, so
dealing with compaction is “step one.”
“If I’m looking for the major limiting
factor, nine times out of 10 it’s compaction,” said Collins.
“Air, water, gas, roots, microbes, and
macro-organisms like worms have to
be able to move through that soil. If it’s
packed, that all shuts down.”
Minerals
Having adequate fertility in the soil is a
key factor in plant growth, and in many
cases, that simply means “unlocking”
minerals that are already there.
“It’s amazing how much lockedup minerals there are in soils,” said
Collins.
“Soil tests will come back and say
that you need a lot of fertilizer, and yet
there’s often 30,000 or 40,000 pounds of
potassium, for example, in the top six
inches, but it’s all locked up.”

speaks to farmers about how to improve their soil
and productivity. PHOTO: Carbonfarmingcourse.com
But at other times, that means applying fertilizer that comes from a bag.
“When I try to turn land around that’s
severely depleted, I don’t feel embarrassed about using any kind of fertilizer
that is available and allowable to get that
system rolling.”
Air
Air is essential for all life, says Collins,
and “critical” in promoting healthy plant
growth.
“If there’s no air, there’s a critical limiting factor,” he said.
Plants need “war mth rather than
heat,” says Collins. And the amount
varies for each plant.
“We don’t need extreme heat, and
we can’t live with extreme cold,” he
said.
Soils need to be at about 70 per
cent of air temperature in hot conditions to make full use of soil moisture,
and producers can help with that by
“modifying” their microclimates.
“It’s amazing what a one-inch layer
of litter on the surface will do.”
Life in and on the soil
Diversity of life in and on the soil is “a
shortcut” to healthy crops and grazing
lands, says Collins.
“Life is the key,” he said. “We need
diverse life in and on the soil almost
year round, and really focusing too on
diversity of rooting structures — sinking as much underground as we can.”
“I’ve never gone wrong with diversity. Every time I add one species or
10 more, things get better.”

Junior cattle producers work on show skills
Cattle producers under the age of 25 from across Manitoba and Saskatchewan
recently came together for a weekend of education and camaraderie
BY JENNIFER PAIGE
T
he annual Manitoba
Youth Beef Roundup
(MYBR) continues to
strengthen the skills of young
folks in the cattle industry.
“It is a great way for juniors
of all cattle breeds to work
together, learn new skills, and
meet new people,” said event
organizer Lois McRae. “Where
else can you attend an event
with 49 junior members all
working together as teams
and individual competitions,
to learn the skills needed in
the livestock industry?”
The ninth annual MYBR
was held in Neepawa on July
29 to 30. Nearly 50 junior cattle producers under the age of
25 took part with 91 head of
cattle.
The event included a
number of workshops on
photography, showmanship,
artificial insemination, farm
safety and grooming.
“This is not just a cattle show, it is an all-around
event to promote and educate youth to continue on
in the livestock industry,”
McRae said. “The weekend
started off with a clipping
and grooming workshop put
on by the Roundup weekend mentors, Laura Horner
and Jake Rawluk. Juniors
learned the importance of
proper hair care and blowing
procedures.”
Along with the cattle show,
participants also took part
in timed competitions that
included halter making, identifying parts of the animal
and identifying different agriculture items.
“One of the highlights of
Saturday was the cookoff
event, where up to six members on a team created a
theme and prepared the ultimate burger,” McRae said.
“Judges Brian Lemon, CEO of
the Manitoba Beef Producers,
Kelsey Dust, the Canadian
Simmental youth co-ordinator and Mazer Implements
representative Jake Rawluk
evaluated this competition
and were impressed with the
taste of the steaks, presentation, themes and costumes.”
The event will run again
next year in late July, cele b r a t i n g M Y B R ’s 1 0 t h
anniversary.
This year’s Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup saw 49 junior participants and 91 head of cattle. Photos: Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup

SHEEP & GOAT COLUMN
Good numbers of goats attract strong interest
The feeder lamb quality was also high, attracting some active bidding
GOAT DOES

T
here were nearly equal
numbers of sheep and
goats among the 500 animals delivered for the Winnipeg
Livestock Auction sale on
August 3. A good selection of
various classification of goats
created high interest for the
buyers, as there have been limited numbers for recent sales.

Sheep
The quality of the Dorper-cross
ewes that entered the arena
suggested that they might be a
herd dispersal, and the bidding
indicated special interest. The
price ranged from $1.11 to $1.16
per pound, while the average
ranged from $0.85 to $0.99 per
pound.
Ram prices ranged from $1.03
to $1.08, but two 155-pound
Dorper-crosses brought $1.55.
No heavyweight lambs were
delivered.
There was a limited selection
of market lambs for this sale.
They brought $1.89 per pound.
The feeder lamb quality
was also high, attracting some
strong bidding. There appeared
to be no price differences
between wool and hair lambs.
The top price ranged from $2.08
to $2.11 per pound. The selection of feeder lambs allowed the
buyers to fill their orders.
Generally, the lightweight
lambs attracted similar bidding to the feeder lambs. The
70-plus-pound lambs ranged
from $1.80 to $2 per pound.
Even a specialty breed ( Jacob
sheep) kept within the bidding range. The young Dorpercross lambs — a product from
the ewes — brought similar bidding, with good quality
throughout the whole herd.
The 60-pound lambs had
the buyers’ interest. Three
62-pound Cheviot-cross lambs
brought $2.10 per pound.
Nineteen 63-pound Dorpercross lambs brought $1.88.

Overall, the Dorper-cross
lambs showed quality and uniformity for each weight class.
E l e ve n 4 2 - p o u n d D o r p e rcrosses brought $1.73 per
pound and 19 45-pounders
A group of 43-pound lambs
was judged more as culls and
The lower-weight lambs were
considered as culls requiring
extra attention and the bidding
became very slow.
Goats
Past sales have had a limited
selection of the various classification of goats, but this sale had
a good selection of goat does.
There appeared to be similar
interest in the meat and dairy
goat does and buyers were
taking advantage of purchasing the various goats delivered.
The meat goat does were not as
high in quality compared to the
dairy goats. In most cases, a little extra care and management
will assist these animals.
The only goat buck delivered
was a dairy breed. A 190-pound
Alpine goat buck cross brought
$1.84 per pound.
The number of goat kids was
much higher than in the past
few sales and the various buyers
took advantage of this opportunity. The bidding remained
fairly constant in each weight
class, even with more goat kids
available. Frequently, more
animals within a class causes
lower bidding. However, goat
kid numbers have been very
limited.
The Ontario Stockyard report
showed higher bidding for
lower-than-usual numbers of
lambs and goats in all classes
available. Buyers usually determine their bidding based upon
the producers delivering the
amounts of lambs and goats for
each sale.

Olymel to pool Quebec
hog-processing partnerships
STAFF / A pair of hog-packing and -processing
plants in Quebec’s Mauricie region is set to join
forces through their common business partner for
a major expansion.
Olymel, the meat-packing and -processing arm
of Quebec’s Coop Federee, announced Aug. 9 it
has sealed a partnership deal with livestock producer and processor Groupe Robitaille.
That deal, first announced last November,
gives Olymel a 50 per cent share in family-owned
Robitaille’s hog slaughter, butchering and processing arm, Aliments Lucyporc.
The two companies have now pledged an
$80-million investment in the Lucyporc plant’s
hometown of Yamachiche, about 20 km west of
Trois-Rivieres. That investment, however, will go
mainly into expansion and upgrades at Atrahan
Transformation, another hog slaughter and porkboning and -cutting plant at Yamachiche.
Olymel and Atrahan reached a separate partnership deal in February last year. Following the
expansion and reorganization at the Atrahan
plant, expected to be complete within three years,
a second shift will be introduced, doubling the
plant’s production volume, the companies said.
On top of the 360 Atrahan staff and 430
Lucyporc staff, the expansion is expected to cre-
ate another 350 jobs, the companies said. Both
plants are also expected to keep operating over
the 36-month expansion period.
The Atrahan operation is already Quebec’s
fourth-biggest pork-packing facility, processing
almost one million hogs a year. Its expansion is to
include “redevelopment” of its hog-receiving area,
expansion of its slaughter section, cold rooms and
butchering room.
The Atrahan expansion, Olymel said, “will create ideal conditions for sharing of expertise and
maintenance and compliance with product specifications, thus enabling it to satisfy the customer
requirements, especially in Japan.”
Lucyporc, which already specializes in products such as Nagano pork and the Mugifuji brand
for the Japanese market, “will play a vital role in
meeting the standards in product specifications,”
the companies said.
The day shift at the Atrahan plant will be
“mainly devoted” to the Mugifuji and Nagano
brands after the expansion.
Olymel CEO Rejean Nadeau said Aug. 9 the
company’s “analysis of market developments and
partnerships concluded in recent years... has led
us to develop a new business model designed to
adapt to the challenges of today’s markets.”
The new model, he said, is meant “to put our
fresh pork sector in Eastern Canada back on track
to long-term profitability.”

Farm leaders say
workers’ compensation
coverage is a good thing
Mandatory enrolment could be announced this fall, but leaders
say cost and paperwork won’t be onerous
rop producers will have to
wait until after harvest to
find out if there is any government drought assistance, says
the president of the Grain Growers
of Canada.

hanges to farm safety
regulations are expected soon — and that
might not be a bad thing
for Alberta farmers, says the
president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture.
“Workers’ compensation
or private insurance really
is a great risk management
tool for farms nowadays,”
said Lynn Jacobson. “That
protection against litigation
is one of the big selling fac-
tors for workers’ compensation.”
Oneil Carlier, the new NDP
agriculture minister, has
vowed to extend workplace
safety regulations to farm
workers who aren’t currently
covered by workers’ compensation or Occupational Health
and Safety regulations.
Today, only around seven
per cent of Alberta farm
employers voluntarily carry
workers’ compensation for
their operations. But offering
that protection — both for
employers and employees —
is one of the realities of farm-
ing today, said Jacobson, who
farms near Enchant.
“There’s getting to be more
and more hired help on the
farm and we’re employing
more people,” he said. “It gives
protection from litigation and
other advantages, and if you
don’t have it, there can be
some serious consequences.”
And farm workers today
“aren’t just interested in a paycheque,” he said.
“They’re starting to realize,
‘If I get hurt on this job, where’s
the protection for my family?’
When it comes down to it, a
farm that has some type of
protection for those people is
going to have a lot easier time
hiring people.”
senior executive with
CP Rail says the company is “well positioned” to move this year’s
g ra i n c r o p d e s p i t e re c e n t
cutbacks in staff and
locomotives.
Grain is, was and will continue to be Canadian Pacific
Railway’s biggest cargo, John
Brooks, vice-president of sales
and marketing for bulk commodities, said in an interview
Aug. 6.
And the historic railway
founded in 1881 is investing to
move even more in the future,
he said. “Make no bones about
it, grain is king at CP,” he said.
“It is our life-bread. There is
nothing we want to do more
than move a lot of grain.
“I think we feel pretty good
about our handling capacity…
to move this new crop.”

Cost and paperwork

There are “some misconceptions” about workers’ compensation that have made Alberta
farmers reluctant to offer coverage to their workers, said
Jacobson.
“Some people don’t like that
administrative role and the
paperwork that is associated
with the program at this point
in time,” he said.
A
production system that extends
the growing season, offers growers a competitive edge in the
marketplace and potential to make
more money sounds mighty tempting.
That’s why fruit and vegetable growers were out in large numbers at Hort
Diagnostic Days in late July to hear
more about construction of high
tunnels.
This is the first year a variety
of fruits and vegetables has been
planted in the high tunnel built in
2014 at the Agriculture Agri-Food
Canada location in Portage la Prairie.
Growers are keen to hear what
Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural
Development (MAFRD) specialists are
learning.
High tunnel production is commonplace in other parts of Canada and
in northern and central U.S. where
nearly every type of fruit and vegetable is now grown, even tree fruits.
MAFRD staff are researching how high
tunnels work in Manitoba growing
conditions.
“We have a lot of recommendations
from other places like Minnesota
and Ontario about what to grow in
a high tunnel but nothing for under
Manitoba conditions,” said fruit
crop specialist Anthony Mintenko,
who is evaluating day-neutral strawberries, early-season June-bearing
strawberries, fall-bearing raspberries
and blackberries at one end of the
100x15x7.5-foot tunnel. Provincial
vegetable specialist Tom Gonsalves is
experimenting with vegetables such
as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers
at the other.
High tunnels are like greenhouses,
except they don’t have a double layer
of poly, and no permanent heat or
electricity. But they have a similar
function — they keep cold out and,
conversely, heat in.

several days with clouds and

widely scattered showers and

For this forecast period, for
the first time in a long while,
it looks like we won’t have to
deal with any upper lows, but
this doesn’t mean there will
not be any surface-based lows
to deal with. The first area of
low pressure will be moving
across nor ther n Manitoba
dur ing the middle of this
week. This low will not directly
affect us, as it will be too far

Saturday. This will likely bring
clear skies in the mornings
and partly cloudy skies in the
afternoons. Daytime highs
look to be in the low 20s, with
overnight lows around the 10
C mark. The weather models
then show a weak low zipping through our region late
on Sunday and into early
Monday, bringing the chance
for some showers.
Another larger area of high
pressure is then forecast to
move in by Tuesday, bringing
plenty of sunshine along with
nice seasonable late-summer
temperatures. Expect daytime highs to be in the low to
mid-20s with overnight lows
in the low to mid-teens. This
high will slowly pull off to the
east by the second half of next
week. Combine this with a
developing area of low pressure to our west, and it looks
like the latter part of next
week will see warmer and
more humid air move back in,
along with the chance of more
thunderstorms.
Usual temperature range for
this period: Highs, 20 to 28 C;
lows, 8 to 14 C.

Can’t seem to avoid these upper lows
A stalled area of low pressure over Louisiana tapped into near-record moisture
BY DANIEL BEZTE
T
hanks to what seems
to be an endless procession of upper-level
lows across the Prairies this
spring and summer, the prospect of a hot and dry summer has pretty much fizzled
away. While these upper lows
have brought excessive rains
to some areas, they have also
brought much-needed rains
to others. Some have experienced flooding, but even the
worst rains and flooding this
year were nothing compared
to the historic rainfall event
that hit a large portion of
Louisiana late last week.
A stalled area of low pressure sitting over Louisiana
was able to tap into nearrecord amounts of atmospheric moisture over the Gulf
of Mexico and dump some
unbelievable quantities of
rain. Over a five-day period
ending Aug. 14, Watson, La.,
northeast of Baton Rouge,
recorded 739.3 mm of rain!
That’s not a typo; they actually received nearly threequarters of a metre! That kind
of rainfall event would be
estimated to occur only once
in 500 years. Needless to say,
several rivers in the region
… there is some talk that this current pattern is a
precursor to a La Niña winter.
quickly hit record flood levels,
with over 1,000 water rescues
taking place.
This leads us back to a discussion on upper-level lows
that we had in the spring. At
that time I was hoping we
wouldn’t have to take a look at
them again, but it just doesn’t
seem like we can avoid them
this year. Luckily, for the most
part, they haven’t been big
rain producers as in the summer of 2009, when we saw
not just plenty of rain but
also plenty of clouds and cold
temperatures. So far this year
the upper lows have brought
unsettled weather with plenty
o f t h u n d e r s t o r m s, b u t n o
prolonged per iods of cold
weather.
I’ll have to admit, whenever
I hear mention of an upperlevel low or a cut-off low, I
kind of cringe. Upper-level
lows are almost never a good
thing. They are difficult to
forecast, and if they form cutoff lows they tend to move
very slowly, and because of
that, can stick around for days
or even weeks!
Extreme loops
So, just what are upper-level
lows and cut-off lows — and
what causes them? Upperlevel lows are often asso ciated, at least at first, with
strong surface lows. Surface
lows can form for a number of
reasons, but a vast majority of
them forms along the boundary between two different air
masses and are associated
with the jet stream. If you
remember back to some of
the articles I’ve written about
the jet stream and waves, you
might remember that areas
of low pressure tend to form
in the turbulent flow along
the edges of the jet stream.
This is kind of like watching eddies form in the water
when two different currents
meet. These eddies or lows,
if they stay along the edge of
the two different currents or
jet stream, tend to move along
fairly quickly. Occasionally
these features can break away
from this region and when
they do, they tend to meander around until they either
slowly weaken or get caught
up in the main current once
again and then quickly move
away.
This is what can happen
when we see extreme loops
o f h i g h a n d l ow p re s s u re
develop. The current positioning and strength of the
jet stream is such that upper
lows are for ming over the
Pacific Ocean and are coming
inland, mostly over B.C. and
then holding together as they
continue across the Prairies.
If the conditions are right,
these upper lows can tap into
colder air to the north and
strengthen. If they get big
and strong enough, they can
sometimes break away from
the main jet stream and then
simply spin in place, often
moving very slowly and erratically before they either slowly
die or finally get caught back
up into the jet stream.
In t h e s u m m e r, b e c a u s e
these upper lows are pools of
cold air in the upper atmosphere, we tend to see a lot of
showers and thunderstorms
develop. During the day the
sun tries to warm the surface
area under these lows. This
warming air starts to rise and
it finds a cold atmosphere
around it. This allows the air
to continue to rise, creating
showers and thunderstorms,
usually by mid- to late aftern o o n . T h e s e s h ow e r s a n d
storms tend to weaken overnight, only for the whole cycle
to begin again the next day.
So far this year we’ve only
seen a couple of upper lows
get large enough to become
cut-off lows. The rest of the
upper lows have been relatively quick moving, taking
only two to four days to move
through a region, compared
to one to two weeks for a cutoff low. Their faster motion
gives these lows less time to
pull in colder air, which is
why our temperatures so far
this summer have been near
to only slightly below average.
What does this mean for the
weather this fall and winter?
Well, there is some talk that
this current pattern is a precursor to a La Niña winter.
The current forecast is for a
weak La Niña to develop and
continue throughout the winter. La Niña winters across the
Prairies tend to have a greater
chance of being cold and
snowy, but as usual, winter is
a fair ways off and a lot can
change.

CROPS
Soil test right
after the combine
The tradition has been to sample for soil nutrients later in
the fall, but there are compelling reasons to go sooner than later
BY ALLAN DAWSON
Co-operator staff
I
t’s been the accepted wisdom
to soil test as late as possible
in the fall, but one soil test lab
says it might pay to go earlier.
Agvise Laboratories, that has
soil-testing labs in North Dakota
and Minnesota and a large stable
of Canadian customers, told growers in a recent email it may be a
sound strategy to soil test right
after the combine.
“Crop residue from spring wheat
or other cereals is very high in carbon and takes a long time to break
down,” Agvise wrote Aug. 9. “Since
the wheat straw breaks down or
mineralizes so slowly, soil nitrate
levels from samples taken right
after harvest change very little
through the entire fall season.”
The company added it’s done
several sampling date projects
over the past 25 years, which
show the soil nitrate level in
wheat fields is very stable all fall.
Researchers from North Dakota
State University also recommend
soil sampling right behind the
combine to get the best-quality
soil samples, Agvise said.
Manitoba Agriculture soil fertility specialist John Heard agrees.
“Historically we have stuck to
the ‘best’ principle, but the best
principle is not always the most
practical principle,” he said. “The
best would be to wait until spring,
closest to the time when the crop
needs it (nutrients). But that is not
at all practical.”
Agvise lists the following advantages for sampling cereal fields following the combine:
• It provides very stable nitrate test
levels.
• It gives the highest-quality soil
sample before any tillage occurs.
• S ampling an undisturbed soil
profile means accurate depth
control.
• Sample depth control is important for getting consistent results
for tests such as phosphorus,

way, says sampling cereals fields right after combining provides some advantages. PHOTO: ALLAN DAWSON
potassium, zinc and organic matter percentage from year to year.
• It reveals the nitrate level in the
soil profile before volunteer grain
starts taking up nitrogen a few
weeks after harvest.
• I t allows more time to make
plans for variable-rate fertilizer
applications.
• It ensures that each field gets
sampled, avoiding bad weather,
which can prevent sampling later
in the fall.
Unleash the
power of
Ideally sampling would occur
in spring just before the crop is
planted, but it doesn’t give farmers enough time to plan, Heard
said.
If it’s a wet fall, which can result
in nitrogen leaching, a farmer can
adjust their fertilizer application
rate, or resample, Heard said.
“Winter is not necessarily a
downtime for farmers, it is planning time and they are far better
to do their planning when they
have soil test values in hand so
they can do their budgets,” he
said. “There’s just no time to do
sampling in the spring. Fall soil
sampling is our competitive
advantage.”
By starting earlier soil-testing
services can also do a better job,
Heard added. With more acres of
soybeans and corn, which mature
later and are harvested later,
there’s less time to get all the sampling done before freeze-up.
Soil test results are just the start
of the planning phase for farmers, he said. Farmers need to take
other factors into account such as
potential yield, whether the fertilizer will be applied in spring or
fall and whether it will be banded
or broadcast.
“It’s nice to wait until you are at
the finish line to make your decisions, but you may not have time
to do that so you have to sample earlier,” Heard said. “And that
allows the soil test industry a head
start.
“Going earlier allows farmers to
make some fertilizer plans in the
fall.”
Steve Barron, business development manager in south-central
Manitoba for crop input supplier
Double Diamond, is seeing more
interest in earlier soil testing.
“A lot of our customers plan on
applying fertilizer in the fall and
need the results,” he said.
“When a guy takes a soil test
core when the field has been
worked the consistency and the
depth of the core are so marginalized. If you can take it before
the field is worked the depth and
the consistency are so much more
accurate and what you learn from
it is so much better.
“It’s not just about nitrogen and
phosphorus, but all the micronutrients. If you can be more consistent with that zero to six (inch)
core it’s going to help a lot with
your interpretation for your seedplaced micronutrients as well.”

Home gardeners could hold
key to potato crop quality
Home gardens can be a source of infection for the fungal disease that kills potatoes and tomatoes
BY ALLAN DAWSON
Co-operator staff
M
anitoba gardeners need
to scout for late blight
in their tomatoes and
potatoes, not just to protect
themselves but the province’s
64,500 acres of commercial
potato production.
Late blight was detected
July 16 in a potato field near
Carberry. Manitoba Agriculture
plant pathologist Vikram Bisht
said in an Aug. 10 interview
more than 15 fields have been
found, most near Carberry, but
also near Sydney, Melbourne and
Glendora. The most recent cases
are near Carman and Winkler,
and on tomatoes east of Portage
and east of PTH 75.
“The message to home gardeners is if you... are seeing
the (late blight) infection and
have not sprayed fungicide the
plants will go down and die
very quickly,” Bisht said. “The
fruit will also get infected and
it will appear with brown spots.
They don’t store very well. If
your leaves have infection harvest as many of the fruits as you
can then destroy the plants. Put
them in black garbage bags and
keep them in the sun. After two
to three days they should get
cooked very well and that will
destroy the disease. If you throw
the plants in the compost pile
the plants will not dry quickly
enough and will continue to
sporulate. Those spores will be
a risk to commercial potato producers of Manitoba.”
Manitoba gardeners need to be watching for late blight in their tomatoes and
potatoes. These tomatoes have late blight and should be destroyed to protect
Manitoba’s 64,500 acres of commercial potatoes. Late blight lesion on a tomato leaf.

Late blight symptoms are
similar on tomatoes and potatoes. Manitoba Agriculture’s
website says to look for small,
light- to dark-green, circular to
irregular-shaped, water-soaked
spots.
“During cool, moist weather,
these lesions expand rapidly
into large, dark-brown or black
lesions, often appearing greasy,”
the site says. “The lesions are
not limited by leaf veins and as
new infections occur and existing infections coalesce, entire
leaves can become blighted
and die within a few days. The
lesions may expand down petioles and stems of the plant.”
The late blight strain found
in Manitoba is US23, which is
very aggressive in tomatoes and
potatoes, Bisht said. He suspects the fungal disease spread
in high winds during recent
thunderstorms.
Although more than 15 cases
of the disease have been found,
in some cases only a few potato
plants were infected, Bisht said.
The infected plants have been
destroyed.
“The growers are trying to
keep on top of it with a five- to
seven-day (fungicide) spray
schedule,” he said. “Commercial
potato growers currently appear
to be managing.

There are many
reasons to rinse.

#5
Infected volunteer potatoes
could be a disease source and
should be destroyed. Volunteer
tomatoes come from seed, which
doesn’t harbour the disease.
Late blight was found in
Manitoba last year but not until
September 11.
So long as the crop is growing it is susceptible to late blight
infection.
Potatoes infected with late
blight can rot in storage. Late
blight doesn’t rot potatoes, but
the damage it causes allows
other infections that cause rot to
develop.
Treating potatoes with phosphorus acid (Phostrol, Rampart
and Confine) as they go into storage can protect them from rot.
Although some fields have
suffered due to excess moisture
and others have been damaged
by hail, most were doing well as
of Aug. 12, said Keystone Potato
Growers Association manager
Dan Sawatzky.

“It would be good to see some
dry weather because every
three or four days we have rain
events and that is creating trouble. The commercial potato
growers are at risk basically
if the home gardeners do not
do a good job (controlling late
blight).”
Commercial growers can control late blight with fungicides
that contain chlorothalolil or
mancozeb.
Home gardeners can spray
copper sulphate.
Garden tomatoes and potatoes are also more susceptible
to late blight if plants remain
damp, which can occur when
plants are thick, preventing air
circulation. As a result weedy
gardens are more at risk, Bisht
said.
Bisht also recommends gardeners buy late blight-resistant
tomatoes.
Gardeners should buy new
certified seed potatoes next
spring and plant healthy-looking tomatoes.

CROP REPORT
Harvest operations are picking up steam
Manitoba Agriculture Crop Report, issued August 15, 2016
Southwest Region
Rainfall amounts varied again
with some large storms in the
middle of the week in the north
around Rossburn, Russell and
Angusville.
Winter wheat and fall rye harvest continues with reports of
average yields and good quality. Producers are also harvesting peas, with average to
below-average yields and quality. Several producers have
started pre-harvest spraying of
cereal crops. Some early-seeded
cereal acres, mainly barley, have
been harvested with average to
above-average yields.
Sw a t h i n g o f c a n o l a h a s
started with disease being a
major issue in deciding when
to cut. Soybeans are progressing and are in the R5 to R6
stage. Symptoms of sclerotinia
are starting to appear in some
sunflowers.
Corn is growing rapidly and
some fields have advanced to
milk stage. Soybeans continue
to flower and pod. Bacterial
blight is evident in many fields,
and both phytophthera and
white mould are showing up.
Edible beans are podded and
the most advanced fields have
some colour change.
Many pea fields have dried
down. In most flax fields colour
change is evident. Sunflowers
are flowering and in the R4 to
R5.5 stage, and some lodging
and snapped stems are present.
Eastern Region
The weather last week saw
less rainfall. Southern districts
received up to 15 mm of rain
with most occurring early in
the week. Central and northern
districts experienced minimal
precipitation. Overal improved
drying conditions allowed for
greater field access with producers continuing with pre-harvest applications, harvesting,
and haying.
Crop development in warmseason crops continued to
accelerate given the seasonal to
warm temperatures. Soil moisture conditions are considered
ample to support continued
development in warm-season
crops.
Winter wheat harvest
is almost complete with
reported yields ranging from
60 to 95 bu./acre. Protein levels are often at 11 per cent or
higher. Fusarium-damaged
kernel levels are lower than
expected based on pre-harvest
field observations. Majority of
spring cereals is mature with
the remainder of the crop
quickly moving from late hard
dough to maturity. Harvesting
of spring wheat is five per
c e n t c o m p l e t e. Ca n o l a i s
mostly mature with pre-harvest applications about 60 per
cent complete and swathing
about 25 per cent complete.
Field peas are mature and
harvest has started. The soybean crop ranges from the R5
(beginning seed fill) or R6 (full
seed) stages. The frequency of
reports of soybeans displaying
potassium-deficiency symptoms, phytophthora wilt and
sclerotinia increased last week.
Sunflowers are mostly at the R6
stage with the remainder of the
crop at late R5. Corn is mostly
at the R3 with the remainder of
the crop at the R2 stage.
Interlake Region
Warm temperatures with scattered thunderstorms were once
again the weather pattern last
week. Near Fisher Branch, producers received anywhere from
60 to 100 mm of rainfall in a
short period. North of Arborg,
producers received 35 to 45
mm, along with hail.
Winter wheat har vest is
nearly complete in the south
Interlake but is still ongoing in
north Interlake. Yields range
from 60 to 80 bu./acre with
minimal levels of fusariumdamaged kernels. Spring cereal
harvest has started with barley,
wheat, and oats acres being
combined. Canola development varies from 10 days since
swather to just finishing flowering. Soybean crops are at the
R5 stage, and sunflowers are in
the mid-flowering stage. Some
insecticides are being applied
on alfalfa seed fields for lygus
control. Pea fields in the region
are being harvested with yields
of 40 to 50 bu./acre. Flax fields
are starting to dry down as the
crops start to turn colour.
Northwest Region
There was unsettled weather
over the week, with intermittent
showers and poor drying conditions and variable rainfall.
Fall rye, perennial ryegrass
and winter wheat harvest continuing in the Dauphin and
Roblin areas. Some barley has
been harvested in the Ste. Rose
area. Spring wheat is maturing
and throughout the region with
reports of some fields receiving pre-harvest herbicide application. Canola continues to
develop with 100 per cent of the
canola fields podding and some
swathed in the Dauphin and
Swan River areas. Field peas are
also advancing, some fields are
being desiccated and a small
number of acres were harvested in the Swan River area.
Soybeans are at R3 stage.
Some crop lodging is evident
and crop damage due to excessive moisture in lower areas in
fields. Aster yellows is present
at low levels in canola in the
Roblin and Swan Valley areas.
Some oat blast in the Roblin
area has been reported and
fusarium head blight is present
in spring wheat throughout
the region. White mould and
powdery mildew is reported in
some pea fields, as well as sclerotinia in canola where fungicide was not applied.

®
Central Region
Warm temperatures throughout
the week allowed for continued
rapid crop growth. Unsettled
weather remains, and the
majority of the region saw some
rain or thundershowers with
amounts ranging from five to 25
mm. High humidity continues
to limit drying conditions.
Fall rye and winter wheat harvest is nearly complete. Yields
of winter wheat range from 65
to over 100 bu./acre. Protein is
in the 11 to 11.5 per cent range.
Early yield reports for fall rye
are from 75 to 95 bu./acre.
Spring cereals are maturing
and pre-harvest applications
continue. Spring wheat yields
range from 40 to 60 bu./acre
to date, and barley yields are
in the 70 to 85 bu./acre range.
Oats are being swathed with
some acres harvested.
The later-seeded canola is
podded while early-seeded canola is seeing good seed colour
change. Swathing continues.

Here’s How It Works:

Winnipeg, MB R3H 0H1
Last week's answer
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers
1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You
can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Low-tech, co-operative approaches
support smallholder farmers
A simple plastic sheet may not look like much, but it can change lives and communities
BY STEFAN EPP-KOOP
O
ver 70 per cent of hungry people
in the world today are smallholder
farmers. Those producing food are,
ironically, the most likely to go without.
This summer I visited Kenya with
Canadian Foodgrains Bank to explore what
can be done to address hunger and support
the smallholder farmers (farmers with less
than 10 acres of land) who make up the vast
majority of food producers in Kenya.
If we are to achieve a world without
hunger, solutions will need to meet the
challenges faced by these farmers. While
innovations in agricultural science and
technology are undoubtedly important
— we had a chance to visit world-class
agricultural research facilities in Kenya — I
was frequently amazed by the power of
simple solutions, using basic technology
and community co-operation, that helped
people produce more food.
Irrigation
Lillian Wambui is a 50-year-old farmer
who we met near Naivasha, a two-hour
drive northwest of Nairobi. For the past
23 years she had grown maize and beans
on her four-acre farm. But harvests
were becoming irregular due to changing rains. Her maize was also affected by
maize lethal necrosis disease, which led to
regular crop failures. As a result, by 2009
Lillian’s farm was unable to sustain her
family and she began receiving food aid.
Change for Lillian came in the form of a
sheet of plastic and a local farmer group.
The plastic was used to line a pond that
she dug to collect and store rainwater for
irrigation. She uses a manual pump to
pull water from the pond to use on her
fields. Fruit trees and vegetables could
now thrive where they had not before.
Together with other local farmers she was
also trained to grow new crops such as
sweet potatoes, pigeon peas, and cassava
and establish fruit tree nurseries.
When you visit Lillian’s farm now, it is
hard to imagine the years when her crops
failed. The farm is lush and green, with passion fruit, bananas, and papaya growing
abundantly. Young kale plants surround
Lillian’s irrigation pond and a field of
pigeon peas, a highly profitable crop, was
nearly ready for harvest. Lillian now earns
roughly $30 per week selling produce at the
local market and her family has a nutritious
diet. The farm also supports the school fees
for her six children and there is enough
money to make further upgrades to the
farm. All this because of a sheet of plastic.
Storage bags
Just down the road, a different sheet of plastic was solving another major challenge:
how to ensure that maize does not spoil
after harvest. In Kenya, weevils often get
into maize while it is stored, leaving it inedible. As a result, smallholder farmers often
lose the maize they were saving for their
family’s consumption. Many farmers have
to sell their maize immediately after harvest. This creates a glut on the market and
lowers prices. Waiting even a few months
can nearly double the price that farmers
receive for their maize.
AgResults has mobilized the private sector to solve this challenge by providing a
prize to the companies that can sell the
most maize storage bags to smallholder
farmers. These heavy-duty plastic bags
are air tight, prevent pest infestations, are

affordable and easy to use. For the equivalent of $2.50, farmers can buy a bag that
will last for three years and store 90 kg of
maize, an affordable storage solution even
for farmers with very limited resources.
One of the farmers who had bought
a bag was Lucia Waringa Kamau. Lucia
fled Kenya’s post-election violence in
2008 and now rents half an acre of land
near Nakuru. This year she purchased a
bag and was amazed at the results. While
her neighbour’s maize turned into flourlike dust from weevil infestation within
a few months, Lucia proudly showed us
her maize that had been perfectly preserved for almost a year. For Lucia, this
has meant being able to feed her family.
It also means that any maize she decides
to sell will now fetch a much higher price.
For someone with only half an acre of
land, the ability to store what she harvested makes a big difference.
Working together
High on a hillside in a semi-arid region
southeast of Nairobi, the Watema Fruit
Growers has brought together 52 farmers
to improve community resilience and farm
livelihoods. As its name suggests, it began
with fruit, organizing a mango nursery to
grow and sell mangos.
Since there is little rainfall in the area,
the group has since worked on creating
furrows and ridges to capture rainwater. As
one group member said, “before we were
not getting food because of land preparation. The water was just flowing away.”
They have also developed a shared field
school where they are learning together
about new crops to diversify production
and more recently began working together
on a plan to raise and market chickens.
The solutions – new crops, fruit trees and
basic water preservation – were simple,
but have made a marked difference in the
community.
Creating change
These solutions have had a profound
impact on farmers and the communities in which they live: decreasing hunger,
increasing income, sending kids to school,
building a spirit of co-operation, and giving people a sense of pride.
Importantly, all these solutions are easily accessible to smallholder farmers. They
are cost effective and create long-term
change. These low-tech solutions are not

reliant on ongoing support or specialized
technical knowledge, allowing them to
continue beyond the lifespan of funded
projects.
Canada can play a key role in this story.
Historically, our government has been a
strong supporter of agricultural development around the world. However,
the Canadian government’s support for
agriculture has declined significantly
since 2011. Canadian Foodgrains Bank’s
Good Soil campaign is encouraging the
Canadian government to reinvest in agriculture to achieve sustainable solutions
that end hunger and improve livelihoods
for farmers.

Wendy’s aims for antibioticfree chicken by next year
The burger chain also plans to set new beef and pork goals
STAFF
U
Wendy’s said it will commit next year to “specific goals” for reducing or eliminating
use of medically important antibiotics in its beef and pork supplies. photo: dave bedard
.S. fast-food chain
Wendy’s aims to source
all of its chicken products from birds raised without
the use of antibiotics “important
to human medicine” by 2017.
Columbus, Ohio-based
Wendy’s, the world’s No. 3 burger
chain behind McDonald’s and
Burger King, said in a blog post
Aug. 3 about 50 per cent of its
chicken supply already comes
from such sources, and it will
aim for 100 per cent “by next
year.”
Also in 2017, the company
said Aug. 3, it will “commit to
specific goals for reducing or
eliminating medically important
antibiotics in our pork and beef
supply.”
Eliminating the use of medically important antibiotics in
cattle and hogs “is harder to do
without compromising animal
welfare,” the company said.
“Because these animals live
longer than chickens, they’re
more likely to need antibiotics at
some point in their lives.”
But the company said it is
“actively working with our suppliers, the academic community and industry experts to
find antibiotic alternatives,”
citing examples such as probiotics, vaccines and feed supplements to either treat infections or reduce the risk of such
infections.
In its blog, authored by
Wendy’s chief communications
officer Liliana Esposito, the company acknowledged some people “may not like this approach.”
Canadian Young Speakers
for Agriculture Competition
Some consumers, the company said, “may prefer that we
just pick a date in the future and
announce a goal to eliminate all
medically important antibiotics by that time, even if we don’t
know exactly how we’re going to
accomplish that.”
The company noted it recently
published a new “ReplaceReduce-Refine” policy statement
on antibiotics in meat animals
on its website, describing the
protection of human health as
its “absolute priority.”
Antibiotics, the company said,
should only be used to treat a
meat animal that “has or is at
high risk of developing a medical problem.”
‘Impractical’
Wendy’s suppliers, the chain
said, are already “prohibited
from using antibiotics that are
important to human health to
make their animals grow,” a
practice which involves subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics,
often in feed, to stimulate muscle growth.
Scientists in recent years
have warned against such uses
of antibiotics in animals, out of
concern that pathogens could
develop resistance to antibiotics and put human and animal
health at risk.
“Withholding
treatment from
a sick animal is
cruel and we won’t
advocate for it just
because it makes a
good headline.”
Liliana Esposito
Join the young Canadians who are speaking up for agriculture.
A new U.S. federal standard
barring such uses of antibiotics
is due out later this year, Wendy’s
added.
But the company also stressed
that removing antibiotics immediately from all food production, “or trying to do so in the
near future, is not only impractical but also inhumane,” the
company added. “Withholding
treatment from a sick animal is
cruel and we won’t advocate for
it just because it makes a good
headline.”
The U.S. regulatory structure
on withdrawal times following
antibiotic use is “very specific,”
the company added. “If an animal is treated with antibiotics,
it cannot enter the food supply unless the antibiotics have
completely worked through its
system.”
Wendy’s rival McDonald’s,
which previously said it would
stop buying chicken raised using
medically important antibiotics from its suppliers by March
2017, said Aug. 1 it had completed that transition ahead
of schedule thanks to help
with verification from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.

instead be done at plants with
both slaughtering and butchering operations, Olymel said.
That move, the company said,
will “improv(e) operational efficiency and reduce costs considerably, in terms of both fixed
costs and shipping.”
Olymel’s Quebec hog slaughter and butchering plants —
at St-Esprit, Yamachiche and
Vallee-Jonction — are “now
geographically closer to the
further-processing plants they
supply with raw materials,” the
company said.
The St-Hyacinthe plant will
remain open, but with about 70
staff handling frozen product
storage operations and a rendering line for lard production.
Olymel said Aug. 5 it’s also
“studying various options to
find a new vocation for the
plant, which would enable
it to fulfil other needs for the
company.”
Olymel in June announced
expansion work at its St-Esprit
hog plant, which it said at the
time would begin to handle
greater output of “value-added”
products and chilled pork.
The company in June also
announced a Quebec City-area
sausage plant at St-Henri-deLevis would be repurposed for
ham processing, after Olymel
bought Trois-Rivieres sausage
maker La Fernandiere and said
it would move its sausage lines
to that company’s plant.
The cut at St-Hyacinthe was
“a difficult decision, but a necessary one if we are to achieve
the conditions of efficiency and
profitability that will enable us
to maintain the bulk of other
jobs across all our operations,
and even create new ones,”
Olymel CEO Rejean Nadeau
said Aug. 5 in a release.
The job cuts, he said, were
“deemed necessar y after a
thorough analysis of processing costs with a view to making all our operations more
efficient.”
Olymel’s St-Hyacinthe plant
saw a work stoppage in 2009,
with unionized workers reportedly protesting a proposed
wage freeze following a major
pay cut in 2005, when the plant
was said to be under threat of
closure.
“I have requested that everything be done to facilitate
the transition for employees
assigned to another position,
or their relocation to another
Olymel facility,” Nadeau said
Aug. 5.

Portage la Prairie July 14. We’re featuring each one with their citations in successive issues
J
ack Marsden Parker began
his working career in 1938
working for the Dominion
of Canada Department of
Agriculture where he served
under Dr. Ellis as part of the
team that completed the Soil
Survey of Manitoba. After serving overseas in the Second
World War, he was hired in
1946 as the province’s first
soils specialist with Manitoba
Agriculture. He travelled the
province identifying soil-related
issues and designing on-farm
programs to solve them.
In 1954, the minister of agriculture established the Soils
and Crops Branch and commissioned Jack to direct and
supervise soils, crops, forage
horticulture, and weed control services being delivered
in Manitoba. Jack took it upon
himself to organize “Save the
Soils” clubs, and he engaged
farmers in a variety of demonstrations including crop rotation, permanent grass cover,
tree cover, and field shelterbelt
programs. As a result, hundreds of miles of field shelterbelts and thousands of acres
of fragile and erosion-prone
soils were planted with grass
and trees. Under Jack’s direction, conservation activities
combined with the need for
improved municipal water
management evolved into the
establishment of the first two
conservation districts — Turtle
Mountain and Whitemud.
Today, the conservation district
program encompasses most of
rural Manitoba.
Jack played an important
role in establishing potato and
canola industries in Manitoba.
His representation and interest in both industries resulted
in significant increases in production as well as the establishment of processing plants
for both crops.
Throughout his career, Jack
served on the board of directors of the Canadian Seed
Growers Association and was
granted a National Honorary
Life Membership for his contributions. He was a member
of the Agriculture Institute of
Canada, the Manitoba Institute
of Agrologists, the Manitoba
Horticulture Society and the
Manitoba Society of Soil
Science.
Shortly before Jack served
in the Second World War
as an artillery officer during the Allied invasion of
Europe, he married Kathleen
Wesson. They had four children: Kathleen, Mary, John
and Nancy. After the war
ended, Jack toured throughout
Germany and the Netherlands,
participating in a report on
the state of farmland in the
aftermath of the war as well as
completing a course on Danish
agriculture and co-operatives
in Helsingore, Denmark in
1945.
Throughout his life Jack was
very involved with his commu-

For his exemplary service to his
church, Jack was awarded a life
membership in the Vestry of St.

charter member of The Order
of St. Albans.

When Manitoba set the
standard for tractors
A forgotten Manitoba competition tested early tractors for prospective buyers
BY ALEX CAMPBELL
Manitoba Agricultural Museum
L
ittle known today, either
in Manitoba or outside the province, the
Winnipeg Light Agricultural
Motor Contests were on the
cutting edge of the new technology of the tractor.
In fact, the tractor was so
new in 1908 that the word
tractor had not even been
invented. The Winnipeg contests were the first effort to
scientifically quantify factors, such as horsepower, fuel
economy, ease of handling
and other factors which were
important to tractor operators. The contests used newly
invented devices such as the
drawbar dynamometer and the
de Prony brake, a belt-driven
dynamometer, to achieve accurate measurements.
In 1908, people had barely
begun to grasp the technology of the internal combustion
engine and its possible uses.
Agricultural motors, as tractors
were more commonly known
as in 1908, were very complicated contraptions holding
promise — but of what?
It is thought that less than
1,000 internal combustion tractors in total had been sold by
1908 worldwide, so tractors
were still largely experimental
at this time. While these early
tractors were large, heavy and
crude, they did contain delicate ignition, carburetor and
oiling systems which needed
precise adjustment for decent
performance. Experts on these
technologies were few and far
between.
But whatever the drawbacks
of tractors, there were people who believed in the future
of tractors in agriculture or
“power” farming. Two adherents were E.W. Hamilton, editor
of the Canadian Thresherman
and Farmer magazine and A.
Burness Grieg, a machinery
salesman, agricultural writer
and a sessional lecturer at the
Manitoba Agricultural College.
In 1907, Grieg and Hamilton
came to the conclusion that a
contest would be a useful tool
to promote the new technology
of the tractor.
It appears that Grieg originated the idea, as he was aware
of the use of competitions in
Britain to promote agricultural machiner y. Hamilton
and Grieg managed to persuade the Winnipeg Industrial
Exhibition to host the event
and the two men organized
the “Light Agricultural Motor
Co m p e t i t i o n” a t t h e 1 9 0 8
Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition.
The revolutionary aspect of
this competition was the scien-
Winnipeg pioneered scientific tractor testing in the early part of the 20th century. Seen here is a Flour City tractor on a drawbar test. PHOTO: Manitoba Agricultural Museum
tific measurement of the performance of the tractors as the
tractor did real-life tasks such
as plowing and hauling. Other
important aspects of tractors
such as quality of construction were also quantified in
the competition. Points were
assigned to each of the performance parameters assessed.
E a c h t ra c t o r w a s t o b e
scored on these categories
and Gold, Silver and Bronze
Medals would be awarded to
the tractors scoring first, second and third. Hamilton and
Grieg secured experts in motive
power to act as judges for the
competition.
Seven tractors were
entered in 1908, three from
the International Harvester
Company (IHC), one from the
Transit Thresher Company
(later became the Gas Traction
Company) and one from
K i n n a rd - Ha i n e s Co m p a n y
(builder of the Flour City tractor line). English manufacturers
were well represented, with a
tractor entered from Marshall
and Sons Company and a tractor from H.P. Sanderson and
Company.
The 1908 event proved to
be a great success. Results of
the competition were carried
in Canadian and American
farm papers, plus distributed abroad. Farmers in large
numbers, as well as machinery company personnel from
North America and abroad,
came to Winnipeg to attend
the event. The United States
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) even sent an observer
to the competition.
The companies whose
products had won medals in
the competition immediately
trumpeted their success in the
farm newspapers by taking out
advertisements. The KinnardHaines Company, winner of the
1908 Gold Medal, took out fullpage ads in various farm newspapers discussing the advantages of its tractor and making
prominent mention of the tractor’s fuel economy as measured
in the 1908 competition. Even
Cockshutt, the maker of the
plows used exclusively in the
1908 competition, advertised
proudly its involvement in the
competition.
With the success of the 1908
competition it was assured that
the event would be repeated
in the years ahead. The event
was refined with further performance measurements being
taken and steam engines were
allowed their own classes in the
trials.
However, by 1912 problems
were apparent, such as the
costs of the trials for tractor
companies, the financial insta-
bility of the Winnipeg Industrial
Exhibition, the lack in the
Winnipeg area of virgin prairie
sod fields for the plowing trials
and the emerging use of field
days by individual tractor companies, where farmers could
actually operate the tractors
plus avoid awkward questions
the trials sometimes raised
about a tractor’s performance.
A significant problem was
that the trials were really a
technical event being operated at an entertainment event,
which is what the Winnipeg
Industrial Exhibition really was.
Only three companies chose
to participate in the 1913 trials, Sawyer Massey, J.I. Case
and the Avery Company. These
companies entered a variety of
steam engines and gas tractors
in the various classes of the trials. With such a low turnout of
companies, 1913 was the last
year for the trials.
However, the Winnipeg trials generated two important
results. The trials served as a
“hothouse” for tractor designers and manufacturers as they
could see various tractors in
action, doing the same work
and being accurately measured
while they did it. The manufacturers learned what worked
and, perhaps more importantly,
learned what ideas did not
work. An official with the Avery
company reportedly admitted that the company learned
a great deal about tractors by
participating in the trials.
The Winnipeg trials also
served as the pattern for the
Nebraska Tractor Tests which are
the yardstick tractors are measured by, from 1920 to this date.
The originator of the Nebraska
tests had been slickered by a
tractor salesman into buying a
poor tractor and, being aware of
the Winnipeg event, determined
that scientific tests would aid
farmers in buying tractors that
actually performed as advertised. He talked the state of
Nebraska into conducting such
tests.
Recently the Manitoba
Agricultural Museum completed a digital documentary of
the Winnipeg Light Agricultural
Mo t o r Co m p e t i t i o n s. T h e
museum obtained digital copies of a number of high-quality glass plate negative photos
of the trials from the archives at
the University of Saskatchewan.
The museum also scanned a
number of photos of the event
from various papers, primarily the Canadian Thresherman
and Farmer. The museum
researched the event in order to
write the narration to the photos
in the video. Currently the video
is being distributed to various
community TV channels.

Prairie fare
Be inspired by zucchini
BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON
Food and nutrition specialist
NDSU Extension Service
I
remember bringing home a zucchini in
my purse. Someone had handed it to me
at a gathering, and my purse became a
makeshift grocery bag.
When I pulled the zucchini out of my
purse, my daughter, who was preschool age
at the time, looked at me in amazement. I
think she wondered if I had a magic purse
that grew long-necked, shiny green things.
After I set it on the countertop, she studied
it and sniffed it. Then she helped me wash
and grate it. Finally, she helped me transform
it into some zucchini bread.
If you have a mass-producing zucchini
plant, did you miss an opportunity? Aug. 8
was “National Sneak Some Zucchini Into Your
Neighbour’s Porch Day.” If so, perhaps you
can choose your own day to continue the recognition and distribution process.
Few foods are associated with as many
good-natured jokes as zucchini. Zucchini
plants are very easy to grow and, most of the
time, produce an abundance of green fruit.
Yes, we consider zucchini vegetables on the
menu, but technically, a zucchini is the fruit
of the plant. Zucchini is a type of summer
squash and also is known by other names.
The name “zucchini” comes from the Italian
word for squash.
A botanist might call it by its scientific
name, “Cucurbita pepo.” If you want to disguise the contents of your casserole, try
renaming the dish. In France, zucchini is
called “courgette.” In England and Ireland,
zucchini is called “marrow.”
Would you like a slice of “marrow bread?”
Those alternate names make “zucchini”
sound more appetizing, don’t they?
You need to keep an eye on zucchini in
your garden or they will grow large. In fact, if
you stood the largest zucchini on record on
its end, it would have been more than five
feet, nine inches tall. This record setter was a
skinny fruit, though, at 65 pounds.
For best quality, select zucchini that are
small to medium in size. Zucchini should
have shiny skin and be free of bruises. The
bruised areas are more likely to spoil rap-

idly. Try to use refrigerated zucchini within a
week.
Nutrition-wise, zucchini is fairly high in
vitamin C, provides fibre and is low in calories. To get more fibre, eat the skin.
Zucchini has inspired cooks to create recipes that range from traditional to the slightly
unusual as they chop, grate and slice zucchini. Most of us have tasted zucchini muffins, cake, casseroles or salads. How about
zucchini fritters or zucchini curry?
You might want to try to use zucchini as
a “vessel” to fill with a favourite casserole,
and after cooking, slice your zucchini boat
into servings. Or try one of the more recent
kitchen tools that allow you to make skinny
zucchini noodles called “zoodles.”
Chocolate Zucchini
Cupcakes
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. canola oil
2 eggs
1-1/4 c. non-fat or low-fat milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. zucchini, puréed
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Frosting of your choice, optional
Personally, I like to sauté sliced zucchini
with onion and add some salsa from a jar
to the consistency I like. I have a quick side
dish without a real recipe.
If you enjoy surfing the web, a simple
search for “zucchini recipes” will provide
you with hundreds of ideas. Visit https://
www.ag.ndsu.edu/food, click on “recipes”
and search our database for zucchini recipes, too.
In the meantime, here’s a chocolatey treat
made with antioxidant-rich cocoa powder
and fibre-rich whole wheat flour, plus a
not-so-secret ingredient. Add a thin layer
of frosting if you’d like or simply dust with
powdered sugar to keep the calorie count
moderate.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Place cupcake cups in muffin
tin and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk sugar, oil,
eggs, milk and vanilla. In a separate medium bowl,
combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
Fold this mixture into liquid mixture. Then fold in
zucchini and chocolate chips. Pour batter evenly
throughout cupcake cups, each about half full.
Bake for about 30 minutes. To test readiness, poke
one cupcake in the centre with a toothpick. If it
comes out of the batter clean, the cupcakes should
be ready. Let cool for 10 minutes on a cooling rack
and top with your favourite frosting and sprinkles
as desired. Serve within one to two days for freshness. Makes about 30 cupcakes.
Each cupcake has 110 calories, 4.5 grams (g) fat,
3 g protein, 18 g carbohydrate, 2 g fibre and 105
milligrams sodium.

“
S
o as I was saying...”
Roger Galbraith was in the middle of
what appeared to be a long and detailed
story as Andrew Jackson set his coffee cup
down on the café table and seated himself
next to Grant Toews and across from Bernie
Brandt, who were well on the way to finishing
their own first cups.
“As I was saying,” Roger repeated when
the obligatory greetings had been made all
around, “I’m at my computer at work, in the
middle of an important project, when my
phone rings. I look at the display and it’s my
son Darren calling from home. Darren’s 19
years old,” he added, then paused to take a sip
of coffee.
“So you answer it?” said Bernie, clearly
engrossed in the unfolding tale.
Roger nodded. “I pause the cat video I’m
watching and I answer the phone. ‘Dad,’ says
Darren. ‘I need to talk to you.’ OK, I say. Is
it an emergency? I cross my fingers. The kid
thinks about that for a second and says, ‘yeah,
yeah it is.’ Yesss! I think to myself, I get to go
home early! As a parent, I’ve learned to look
on the bright side.” Roger took another sip of
coffee.
“There’s always a silver lining,” said Grant.
“When life gives you lemons,” said Andrew,
“make the closest thing you can to a mojito,
since life never gives you a lime.”
“Sure whatever,” said Roger. “Anyway, I
finish watching the cat video and then I tell
my boss I have to deal with an emergency at
home and away I go.
“When I get home I head straight to Darren’s
room, which I will confess, I haven’t been in
for at least a couple of years. The first thing I
notice when I step inside is the number of rats
running around. Dude, I say. You have rats. No
wonder you called me. ‘I didn’t call you about
the rats Dad,’ says Darren. ‘I’ve had pet rats
for three years.’
“You know,” I say, “when I was a kid the
closest I ever got to a rat was when my brothers and I would sneak the truck in the middle
of the night and go to the municipal dump.
When we got there we’d turn off the headlights and park in the middle. My brothers
The
Jacksons

would get in the back of the truck with their
shotguns resting on the roof and then I’d turn
on the headlights and there’d be 100 beadyeyed rodents staring straight at the lights. It
was like shooting ducks in a barrel.”
“Shooting fish in a barrel is the saying, I
think,” said Grant.
“Nobody shoots fish,” said Roger. “That
would be crazy.”
“Why would you decide to tell your kid a
story like that right when he’s trying to tell
you something important?” said Andrew.
“Because as a parent,” said Roger, “I want to
try to stretch this out long enough so I don’t
have to go back to work.”
He set his coffee cup down and continued.
“So anyway, Darren finally says Dad, you
know how I have serious social anxiety and
I almost never leave my room and... here I
interrupt him. If this is about your mother’s
and my divorce, I say, we’ve been through
that right? And we agreed, that was your own
fault.”
The three listeners look at Roger askance.
“I know,” said Roger. “You want your kids to
remember stuff on their own, but as a parent
you have to keep reminding them. But anyway
Roger says it’s not about that.
“I didn’t think so,” I say, “so go ahead sonny,
I’m listening.”
“It takes a little while. The kid is having a
hard time. But finally he blurts it out.”
Here Roger stopped to reach for the sugar
and stir another teaspoonful into his coffee.
“Well? What did he say?” asked Grant.
Roger stopped stirring. “He said Dad, it’s
because I’m gay.”
There was a short, somewhat awkward
pause.
“Wow,” said Andrew. “And what did you
say?”
“I said thank goodness,” said Roger.
“Your son told you he’s gay and you said
thank goodness? Why?” asked Andrew.
Roger took a last sip of coffee and got up
to go. “Because that’s what I’ve been telling
people for the last two years,” he said as he
walked away.
There was a long silence at the table.
“I can’t decide,” said Andrew.
“Can’t decide what?” asked Grant.
“Whether that man is the worst parent
ever,” said Andrew, “or the best.”
There was another pause.
“I think he might be both,” said Grant.
“Amen,” said Bernie.
Growing nasturtiums
There are many different categories so make sure you are getting the type you want
The plants grow quickly —
the reason they are usually
grown from seed rather
than bedding plants.
By Albert Parsons
Freelance contributor
A
t horticultural shows in August
I always admire the nasturtium
exhibits. Often the class calls for a
“suitable container,” as nasturtium blooms
do not look their best exhibited as “three
blooms” or “five blooms.” Often an exhibit
will include several blooms, some buds,
as well as some foliage, all presented in a
low bowl or other suitable container. The
stems are rather weak and so the blooms
and buds can be supported by the leaves to
show to best advantage.
Nasturtiums are often grown from seed
planted right into the ground in spring,
but they are also sold as bedding plants
in the spring at many garden centres. The
plants grow quickly — the reason they are
usually grown from seed rather than bedding plants. Either way, read the package
or plant tag carefully as there are different
categories.
There are dwarf nasturtiums, varieties
suitable for use as edging plants or that
can be planted toward the front of beds,
climbing varieties that will need to be
planted in front of a fence or trellis that
affords support, and trailing varieties that
are most suitable for use in hanging bas-

kets. All nasturtiums, however, have the
same rounded leaves and brightly coloured blooms that are funnel shaped with
a unique spur on the underside of each
bloom. There are myriad bloom colours
including vanilla, bright yellow, orange,
fiery red, pink, and mahogany, and some
newer varieties have two-toned blooms.
Nasturtiums produce a mass of foliage and the flowers poke out through the
leaves like bright jewels. Most varieties have
bright-green leaves but some are variegated
that have marbled green and ivory foliage.
“Alaska” is a dwarf variegated variety, while
“Jewels of Africa” is a variegated climbing
type. Climbing nasturtiums need a bit of
training onto a support as they are not naturally as twining as some climbing plants.
Care must be taken when training them up
a support system because the stems tend to
be brittle and easily broken.
Trailing nasturtiums add both unique
foliage and colourful bloom to a hanging
basket or window box. “Alaska” adds a lot
of interest to a hanging basket or a large
container which is tall enough to allow the
plants to cascade without reaching the
ground. A wonderful wall of foliage and
jewel-like flowers can be created at the back
of a border with climbing nasturtiums,
which can reach a height of 80 cm by season’s end.
Nasturtiums like rich soil; fertilize regularly if they are grown in soilless mix in a
container. The plants soon deteriorate and
do not look their best if they do not get
enough water. They like consistently moist
soil. Aphids like them but usually regular
showers with the garden hose will deter
these pests enough that their damage will
be minimal. This is not the case with flea
beetle attacks. They also love nasturtiums
and in early spring and in late summer they
are apt to attack nasturtiums in great numbers and ruin the plants within a day or
two. The pests are easiest to control in the
spring when the small plants can be covered with a protective covering. This is not
as easily done in the fall when the plants
have matured and resorting to chemical
defences might be the only way to save the
plants.
Some gardeners are willing to grow
nasturtiums and enjoy them during the
summer and then willingly give them up
when flea beetles arrive in the fall — usually
after the canola fields have been swathed
— replacing them with something else that
will keep the garden attractive until the
growing season ends. Nasturtiums are such
beautiful plants that many grow them in
spite of having to battle insect attacks.

Hi Reena,
I was wondering if you knew anything about
using Dawn dish soap on front or back steps to
keep ice from building up. We had problems last
winter with ice buildup when it melted and I don’t
know the portions to use. Could you please let me
know if Dawn is used and how? It would certainly
save me using ice melt products this winter which
I’m not happy with. — Thank you, Charlotte
Hi Charlotte,
Some love it, while others say it doesn’t work. I
can tell you that the recommended proportions
are to mix half-cup Dawn dish soap with half-gallon
of warm water and pour it over your steps and
sidewalk. Since Dawn dish soap has a high concentration of alcohol in it some people report that it
does not freeze in minus temperatures. You can use
plain old table salt as an alternative. Whatever you
decide, test on an inconspicuous area first to avoid
slipping.
Another interesting use for Dawn dish soap is to
make your own ice pack. Fill a strong freezer bag
halfway with Dawn Original dish soap (the blue
kind, non-ultra). Double-bag for extra leak protection. These super-soft ice packs are great for all
kinds of injuries. Note: Little ketchup packs kept in
the freezer also work well as ice packs.
Hi Reena,
I do hope you can help me. I was treating my
arthritic hands in a paraffin wax bath and accidentally splashed some on one of my beige suede
dining room chairs. I was able to scrape some of
it off, but there is still a dark spot remaining. Do
you have any solution to remove the stain? HELP!
— Marlene
Hi Marlene,
You want to be careful when cleaning the area not
to scorch it. Place a single layer of brown paper on
the wax area and move a warm iron over the paper.
Move the paper around to soak up all wax. Next,
sprinkle baking soda onto the wax stain and brush
the area with a damp stiff brush to restore the nap.

Readers’ feedback
Hello Reena,
I love all the household tips you give us. Now, with
regards to smelly dish clothes, I would like to mention how simple it is to keep cloths clean. Boil them
with a little soap and water on top of your stove for
five minutes or less. Rinse, and if time permits, hang
in the sun. Should a family member have a skin condition, boil their face cloth. If any wash item smells,
wash with hot water and hang it outside. Thank you
Reena and keep up the good work. Oh yes, I would
like to mention that wonderful bar of “Sunlight
soap,” from a long time ago; it cleans everything from
shoes to socks. — With best regards, Astrid
Dear Reena,
Here is a suggestion for how to remove spider
droppings from the siding on a house. I have found,
through trial and error that GM Spray Cleaner sold
by General Motors dealers works very effectively. I
spray it on, let sit for a few minutes, then wipe with a
paper towel — works like a charm. Old deposits that
have baked in the sun for a while need a little more
effort. — Gil

Old
Elevator
I
n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba.
Today, there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the
legacy of these disappearing “Prairie sentinels.”
The Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of
their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Co-operator
it is supplying these images of a grain elevator each week in hopes
readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other
elevator they know of.
MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has
developed a website to post your replies to a series of questions
about elevators. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that
have served the farm community.
Your contributions will help gather historical information such
as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and
agents, rail lines, year elevators were built — and dates when they
were torn down (if applicable).
There is room on the website to post personal recollections and
stories related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a
partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help

Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS
develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the
farm community’s collective knowledge of what was once a vast
network of grain elevators across Manitoba.
Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at:
http://www.mhs.mb.ca/elevators. You will receive a response, by
email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received.
At one time, United Grain Growers had three elevators at Plumas, on the CNR Gladstone Subdivision in what is now the
Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone. One of them dated from May 1926, replacing an earlier elevator from around 1912 that had
been leased then purchased by UGG in August 1924. This elevator was destroyed by fire on December 28, 1974 and not rebuilt. A
second UGG elevator, known as Elevator #1 (photo taken in 1962), was formerly owned by the Western Canada Flour Mills. Built
in 1898, it was purchased by UGG agent J.F. Rogers and resold to the company in June 1940. The third UGG elevator, known as
Elevator #2 (photo taken in 1981), was constructed in 1949. Renovated in 1976, an annex from Tenby was moved beside it in
1977. Photos: Agricore United Engineering Department, Tom Price (Mgr), provided by Glenn Dickson
