Byron HackettAlaska Highway NewsJudging from the fan filled grand-
stands and jam packed concession area one would never have guessed the bleak weather forecast for the first day of the Doig River Rodeo. Despite the poor conditions in the early morning, the rain
clouds parted setting the stage for an ideal day at the rodeo.
Shortly after the action got underway on Saturday, Rodeo President Robert Dominic explained that such an event is also great for the Doig River first nation because they love to share their culture and love for rodeo with the surrounding
community.“It’s been a pleasure having a rodeo
every year and getting our neighbors to come from far and near and rodeo with us. It’s great fun,” he said. “For our com-munity, the Doig River First Nation, we really enjoy having to show our home to neighbours like Fort St. John and Daw-son Creek. We want them to come and see the great show we put on.”
Rodeo Vice-President Vern Davis added that even though the day was threaten with rain, the weather doesn’t much matter to folks at Doig River, the rodeo is always well attended no matter the conditions.
“Every year it doesn’t matter the whether it’s rainy or sunny people will come out,” he said.
That was evident from the nearly full grandstands that surrounded the outdoor arena with more than 150 people taking in the events throughout the day. That doesn’t include all the riders that came out for the event, which there were more than 80 of competing in 14 different events.
One of those riders was Braden Rutz, who won the steer-wrestling event after the only other competitor; Chance Bolin registered a no time. Although at 18 sec-onds, it wasn’t the fastest time for the Rose Prairie native who grew up just fif-teen minutes from Doig River, he was happy to take home top prize.
“It felt really good,” he said. “ I knew I was a little wide, so I knew I had to push off the get the head catch. I got [my feet a little bit behind me], if you want to be perfect you have to let your horse set them and they will be right in front of you so you can just slide. So I had to scramble a bit. He was a tough steer.”
The 20-year-old Rutz also said that it was a good feeling to beat Bolin, some-body he has grown up riding against.
“We’ve rodeoed a lot together.I actually know his family pretty well.
His uncle let’s me use his arena a lot, it’s kind of a family atmosphere,” he said.
It was Groundbrich native Frankie
Wilson who impressed the fans during her 17 .1-second barrel racing run which was good enough to take home the victory on Saturday.
“My mare has had a year off and I haven’t got to ride her a lot bu t she ’s pretty consis-tent, I love he r, ” she said. “That was actually one of her faster runs. The ground was kind of wet today so I was kind of nervous, but she did her thing.”
Wilson said after racing competitively on a rodeo scholarship at Casper College in Wyoming, it’s nice to come home and relax and rodeo with friends and family.
“It’s kind of different,” she said com-paring her rodeo experience state-side. “It’s kind of fun to come up here to go to these ones and just have fun. You don’t have to be so focused… I like coming here because my family is here and hav-ing that kind of support is great.”
The feature event of the day ended in particularly unexpected fashion as all eight bull riders failed to register a time, meaning all prize money was up for grabs again on Sunday.

weather continues to hover like a
dark cloud over the grain markets
as they continue to trek lower while
meat price are going the opposite direction! �e U.S.
corn and soybean crop seems to get bigger every day as
average yield estimates continue to move up while the
wheat harvest improves with every mile that combines
go north. A.A.F.C. put out its most recent estimate of
this year’s crop at 71.2 million tonnes, a drop of 21
per cent from last year’s monster. Digging into the
numbers, they see wheat production at 27.74 million
tonnes (-26 per cent), canola at 14.45 million tonnes
(-24.4 per cent), and barley at a 32-year low of 7.34
million tonnes. A large proportion of the decline is
attributed to excess moisture, leading to disease, insect,
and �ood losses. It’s likely that some o� the biggest
losses in Western Canada could come at the expense
of oats, pulse crops, and �ax. Overseas in Europe, the
crops are looking big as well, but there is some concern
about quality in the wheat �elds in Germany and
France (the two biggest producers of the cereal grain in
the E.U.). �e question that I’m getting asked the most
these days is when is the bleeding going to stop?
In the oilseed market, one has to consider the record
soybean output below us, a record rapeseed crop in
the E.U. of around 27.5 million tonnes, and a well-
above-average canola carryout in Western Canada
from 2013/14, it’s hard to rationalize higher prices just
yet. As for wheat, some analysts are suggesting that an
escalating trade war with Russia would be bullish for
world wheat prices, as global demand switches to the
West. Further, because of liquidity issues in the Black
Sea, producers may not be able to a�ord quality crop
inputs (i.e. seed, fertilizer) next year, suggesting that a
third bumper crop in a row may be unlikely. Combine
this with more of the E.U. wheat crop heading to the
feed market, milling wheat prices may have found
their bottom.Back here in the Prairies, excellent weather is reviving
some of the crops adversely a�ected by substantial rains
at the end of June, especially in eastern Saskatchewan
& western Manitoba. Elsewhere across Western
Canada, crops are looking relatively good and that’s
why I’m forecasting that total output will be around our
�ve-year averages as poor areas and lost acres are o�set
by positive crop conditions in Alberta and western
Saskatchewan (although it’s still fairly dry in the Peace
region still). All the aforementioned in mind, it would
be nice to hear comforting lies versus unpleasant
truths, but given our transparency-�rst business model
here at FarmLead, we’re not ones to blow smoke. You
have to play the game that’s in front of you – not the
one you’re hoping for. �at being said, no time better
than the present to uncover your eyes, take a good
look at this bear market, and understand where your
grain marketing strategy currently sits. Ultimately,
in a bearish world, bounces to the upside should be
taken advantage of as these “one-o�” events (i.e. new
developments in the Ukraine-Russian geopolitical
situation) don’t come around every day.

(Press release dated July 22, 2014 from Canterra Seeds www.canterra.com)CANTERRA SEEDS is thrilled to
announce the official launch of AC™ Emerson winter wheat. Certified seed of the new variety will be available to growers for the first time, for fall plant-ing in 2014.AC™ Emerson has been referred to by
many farmers as a ‘game changer’. This is largely attributed to its resistant or R rating to Fusarium Head Blight (FHB), the first wheat variety of any kind to receive this rating.With the wet and humid conditions,
FHB risk could be very high this season. Earlier in the month, FHB risk forecasts from Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development rated the entire province as an ‘Extreme’ risk area. “The R rating to FHB is a huge achievement in plant breeding, and it couldn’t have come at a better time for growers,” said Brent Derkatch, Director of Operations and Business Develop-ment for CANTERRA SEEDS. “We are very excited to get Emerson into farm-ers’ hands this fall.”AC™ Emerson winter wheat was de-
veloped by Dr. Rob Graf of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Lethbridge.
CANTERRA SEEDS holds the exclu-sive marketing rights for the variety, and has been managing seed production and distribution since 2011.AC™ Emerson is set to launch at a
key time in the market, as the popular CDC Falcon winter wheat officially moves to the Canadian Western General Purpose (CWGP) class as of August 1, 2014. “Emerson will be the per-fect CDC Falcon replacement,” said Derkatch. “It is a Canadian Western Red Winter (CWRW) wheat and has the improved quality end-users are looking for, in addition to a strong agronomic package for growers.”MCVET data shows AC™ Emerson
yielded 1 bu/ac higher than CDC Fal-con, and has 1.3% higher protein. The medium maturity variety also has an R rating to stripe and stem rust, and strong straw. Seed growers who have been multiplying the variety noted AC™ Emerson showed improved winter har-diness over CDC Falcon and Flourish this past winter.Growers looking for AC™ Emerson
should contact their local CANTERRA SEEDS seed grower, or visit www.can-terra.com for a full listing of the closest seed sellers.

Valhalla Installs New Community PlaygroundOn Friday, July 18th a number dedicated community volunteers showed up at the Valhalla Community School to begin the installation process for the new community playground. Teresa Boucher, head of the fundraising group responsible, worked in co-ordination with the Valhalla Heritage Society for over 18 months to bring this project to fruition.The playground design centers on the “Viking” theme so central to the Valhalla area and contains a Viking ship, a castle and some smaller play centers for kids of all ages to enjoy. The playground equipment was custom designed and built by Trevor Zahara and his staff at Peak Play Environments from St. Albert, Alberta.The play center will be open for anyone to use and Teresa and her group are looking at holding an official grand opening sometime in mid-September.
Fertilizer production is big business, controlled by large companies around the globe. Many of these companies are public, and what they’re doing is frequent subject matter in the business section of daily newspapers.
Like other commodities, the law of supply and demand reigns over world fertilizer markets. But with such big players involved, a single move by one producer can send shockwaves across the market.
According to Bill Wilford, fertilizer marketing manager with Cargill AgHo-rizons Canada, there have been a few big changes by global fertilizer players in the past year.
“The break-up of the Belarusian Pot-ash Company caused a drop in potash prices,” Wilford says. “From a pricing standpoint, we’re now at the bottom of the market. Expect to see strength in the potash market in the future.”
Mosaic’s purchase of CF Industries’ phosphate business has been another game-changer, he says.
“This acquisition makes Mosaic a dominant player in the North American phosphate market,” Wilford says. “But international factors such as increasing production from Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Russia will keep Mosaic’s phos-phate pricing in check.”
When it comes to nitrogen, recent
policy changes in China will affect global supply.
“China has amended its export tax structure, which will allow more Chi-nese urea to enter the global market,” Wilford says.
“In the past, we’ve seen China export four to six million tonnes of urea. Now we expect this will increase to 10 to 12 million tonnes. This will add upwards of six million tonnes to the supply side, helping to stabilize nitrogen pricing.”
Wilford expects further changes for the nitrogen market. Several North American producers are expanding their capacity with new production coming on line between now and 2017.
“We’re currently importing four to six million tonnes of nitrogen into North America annually, so an in-creased domestic supply will mean fewer imports and a more stable North American market,” he explains.
With media coverage of new nitro-gen, phosphate and potash production facilities around the globe, a quick analysis of supply and demand could lead to speculation that fertilizer prices will drop. But this likely won’t happen, Wilford says.
“Farmers need to remember that global fertilizer demand is increas-ing by 2.5 to three per cent annually. Supply is increasing because demand is increasing.”
In Part 2, we’ll explore the market signals farmers should watch.

Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) has released the results of its survey of win-terkill of honey bees in 2014. Commercial beekeepers who own 400 or more colonies were surveyed, of which seventy-six per cent responded. This group of beekeepers operates over 90 per cent of honey bee colonies in Alberta.
“The surveyed beekeepers reported wintering 197,038 honey bee colonies and nuclei,’ says Medhat Nasr, provincial apiculturist, ARD, Edmonton. “Over-all, beekeepers reported that 18.5 per cent of Alberta bees died during the 2013-2014 winter.”
The reported winterkill varied from region to region. The lowest winterkill (15.1 per cent) was reported in Southern Alberta south of Calgary (Region 1). The winterkill was 16.7 per cent in Region 2, which is north of Calgary to south of Edmonton. In the North East Central/St. Paul area (Region 3), the winterkill was 20.6 per cent. In the North West (Re-gion 4) beekeepers reported 16.5 per cent winterkill. In the Peace (Region 5) beekeepers reported 23.2 per cent winterkill.
“It is notable that the winterkill significantly de-creased to 18.6 per cent in regions 2 and 3 this year in comparison to 2012-2013 where the reported winter-kill was 37.5 per cent,” says Nasr. “Beekeepers who wintered full size bee colonies in British Colombia reported the lowest winterkill in recent years at 10.5
per cent.”The survey included a list of suspected causes that
could lead to killing bee colonies in winter. “This year, losses may be attributed to one or a combina-tion of several factors that acted synergistically to kill bee colonies. Beekeepers reported the most likely cause of winterkill to be cold spring and poor quality queens. In early March, 2014, beekeepers were report-ing normal mortality (10 -15 per cent) and the bees were looking good for that time of the year. However, because of a large snow pack and extreme unsettled conditions in the spring, the bee population dwindled and more bee colonies died. Surviving colonies were slightly weaker than normal colony strength. Despite beekeepers having requeened their colonies in 2013 season, beekeepers complained about poor perfor-mance of imported queens and a high rate of superce-dure. Nosema was the second cause of high winterkill cited by beekeepers. A Nosema outbreak was most likely associated with the late spring, resulting in confinement of bees inside bee hives for a longer period of time during the winter extending to spring. Starvation and small clusters of bees were mentioned as possible causes of winterkill but ranked very low.”
Surprisingly enough, says Nasr, the Varroa in-festation was ranked on the bottom of the list of possible causes of bee colony mortality. “It was reported that Varroa was under control in most operations in 2013-2014. Apivar continues to work effectively. The application of Apivar in early spring for Varroa control has proven at this point to be the most effective treatment time to keep healthy colonies through the season and for wintering. Fall treatment was late in some operations and consequently these operations reported high winterkill.”Over the winter of 2013 – 2014, 25 per cent of managed honey bee colonies died in Canada. The highest winterkill was 58 per cent reported in Ontario but the rest of the provinces averaged 19.3 per cent. The lowest winter-
kill was reported in British Colombia at 15 per cent.“It was encouraging to hear that Quebec reported
18 per cent winterkill in 2014,” says Nasr. “This is the lowest reported winterkill in Quebec in comparison to previous years. It is particularly remarkable that Alberta has decreased its bee winterkill rates by 50 per cent, going from 30 to 40 per cent from 2007-2010 down to 15 to 24 per cent in the last four years. Overall the average winterkill in Alberta is 20 per cent in the past four years. The significant decrease in winterkill rates has been attributed to the use of Var-roa mite control products and the adoption of effective bee surveillance and management systems.”

When it comes to spraying crops and bee health, it’s really all a matter of timing, communication and cooperation.
“Bees go to crops when they are in bloom to col-lect pollen and nectar,” says Medhat Nasr, provincial apiculturist, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Develop-ment, Edmonton. “If crops are sprayed while bees are foraging in the field, it can be devastating.”
Nasr says most problems can be avoided by com-munication between beekeeper and grower. “Many cases could be cited where a grower are not aware of the hazard to bees, how much of tremendous damage could be caused to a large number of colonies,’ says
Nasr. “The timing of pesticide application and type of materials of the pest control program could have been modified so that little or no poisoning occurred. In many cases this can be done without unduly increas-ing the control cost or inconveniencing the grower.”
Another key is to pay close attention to labels. “Labels have lots of information for both farmers and beekeepers,” says Nasr. “They say a lot about when and how to apply the product to ensure the safety of bees and other beneficial insects.”

Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD), in collaboration with Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada, is developing a program coined “Taste of Canada Showcase” for Canadian exporters targeting the food service and retail sector in the United States.
“Building on the success of the previous event held in Chicago earlier in the year, we are pleased to an-nounce that the 4th edition of Taste of Canada will be held in San Francisco, California on November 3 - 4, 2014,” says Dusan Rnjak, trade development officer, ARD, Edmonton. “This professional food showcase event is designed as a mini Canada-only display of qualified export ready and capable Canadian suppli-ers to showcase their food and beverage products in a tabletop setting, and meet one-on-one with buyers”
Pre-screened US and Mexican importers, buyers and distributors from the retail and foodservice indus-tries will be invited to attend. Unlike trade shows, this intimate forum provides buyers and suppliers the time to meet, discuss suppliers’ capabilities, review buyers’ needs and negotiate possible synergies.
This opportunity will provide: tabletop exposition and networking with 50+
Canadian suppliers engaging with 50+ U.S. buyers business matchmaking with pre-scheduled one-
on-one business meetings
market presentations and market/store tours to learn more about the market and to demonstrate spe-cific market preferences of consumers in the region
To be eligible to participate in Taste of Canada Showcase – Season 4, companies must:
be export ready, or demonstrate export readiness display retail and/or food service products in the
following categories: meats and seafood; specialty foods and snacks; bakery and desserts (fresh and frozen);meals (frozen and shelf stable) and compo-nents; non-alcoholic beverages
be introducing a new product to foodservice and/or retail in this region, or be planning to introduce new products to this region in the near future
already be selling to at least one major retailer/account in Canada and/or the U.S., or demonstrate sufficient capacity to export
Companies may apply to participate by submitting: A complete application form available here
Certificate of insurance issued to Alberta Agri-culture and Rural Development showing a minimum of $2 million in commercial general liability insur-ance coverage including products liability coverage
“Space is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Eligibility will be confirmed upon receipt of the application form,” says Rnjak. “There is no cost to participate. Companies will be responsible to cover the cost of travel, accommodation and ship-ping samples and materials. ”
For more information, contact Dusan Rnjak at 780-638-8583 or via email at [email protected] or Paola Zaragoza at 780-638-3831 or via email at [email protected] or go here. The deadline for ap-plications is August 5, 2014.

Couple waits sixmonths for prize
NATION/EDMONTON
An Edmonton couple has finally come forward and claimed their Christmas present after more than six months: a $50-million cheque.
Andrea and Bill Groner found they had won the Dec. 20, 2013, Lotto Max just two days later, but decided to keep it to themselves until this week.
The couple chose to go about their normal lives until they decided what to do. Bill Groner, 54, recently retired from his job as a heavy equipment operator, and his wife plans to retire from a utility in December. – Journal

Scenes from the Horse Ranch’s in-augural “Round Up” event held Saturday, July 26th at The Horse Ranch in Baldon-nell.
Glen Stewart, along with his staff and apprentices, performed in front of the ap-preciative crowd while demonstrating the various horsemanship techniques taught at the ranch. Everyone left amazed at the level of trust between the instructors and their animals, as well as the visible con-nection between horse and rider.
Approximately 200 horse enthusiasts from all over the Alberta and B.C. Peace Country turned out to enjoy a warm and sunny afternoon along with an excellent BBQ dinner served at the completion of the event.

Submitted byDr. Emily WilsonIt has been estimated that in the economics of
beef production, fertility is ten times as important as carcass quality, and fi ve times as important as rate of gain.
The goal of beef producers is to achieve high pregnancy rates within a short breeding period. The number one factor affecting this is the herd sizes. This is why BSE’s are so important. It has been estimated that one in fi ve bulls will be sub fertile, either from the physical exam, or from poor semen quality.
Sub fertile bulls are capable of breeding cows, if they have a low bull/female ratio, and a long enough breeding season. It is an economic loss when the cows do not become pregnant on their fi rst cycle. This places their calving date a minimum of 21 days later. As a result your calves have a decreased weaning weight, and therefore decreased market value. High fertility bulls with increase the number of cows that become pregnant on their fi rst cycle.
A bulls fertility is based on three things:1) Service Capacity - Accounts for their ability
to breed cows, as well as their libido. This is best determined by the rancher, as they observe the bull in a mating situation.
2) Physical Soundness - This includes; vesicu-lar glands, penis, prepuce, and testicular examination; as well as, scrotal circumference and body condition score. If the bull has systemic signs of illness or noticeable lameness this would be noted under this category.
3) Semen Quality - This is where the semen motility, concentration, and morphological (structural) characteristics are quantifi ed.
When should bulls be tested?
Bulls should not be tested until they are over 12 months of age. They are still going through puberty at this time, resulting in poor semen quality. Bulls have the best semen quality from March to August. This phenomenon is related to the bulls’ testosterone levels being affected by day length, as well as, cold stress in the winter. Performing BSE’s in the cold months of January, and February may show poor semen quality among bulls.
Why do we measure scrotal circumference?A bulls scrotal circumference (SC) directly relates
to the amount of testicular tissue he has. A higher scrotal circumference increased a bull’s sperm con-centration, and motility.
It is also tied to early puberty in heifers. Early puberty as a heifer will increase the cow’s lifelong reproductive performance. Yearling bulls that fail to meet the SC minimum will not catch up to their herd mates. The amount of testicular tissue a bull will have is determined when he is still suckling. Bulls that do not reach the minimum SC cannot be trusted to pro-duce the same reproductive performance as a highly fertile bull.
Why do we rectally palpate Bulls?This part of the exam enables the veterinarian
to evaluate the accessory sex glands, and inguinal rings (especially in yearling bulls). These glands are responsible for the medium in which the sperm live. The accessory sex glands can become infected result-ing in a condition called vesiculitis. As a result the semen sample will have white blood cells or pus with in it. Vesiculitis is common in young bulls, the exact reason is not known. There is some evidence that associates high grain rations in young bulls to higher incidences of vesiculitis. These bulls can be treated at the recommendation of your veterinarian, and re-
evaluated in 3-4 weeks’ time.Why do we measure body condition score?On a 5 point scale (1=emaciated, 3=ideal,
5=obese) bulls that score less than 2.5 and over 3.5 have a decline in semen quality. Bulls that are over-weight accumulate fat in the neck of their scrotum. This decreases a bulls ability to regulate their scrotum temperate, and as a result their sperm develop signs of stress.
What are we assessing on morphology slides?The main goal of evaluating the sperm under high
magnifi cation is to determine the ratio of normal to abnormal sperm. The amount of normal sperm should be 70% or greater. There are over 25 defects that a bull could produce. The amount and type of defect is what the veterinarian uses to decide if the bull is satis-factory, unsatisfactory, or a re-evaluation candidate.
Excess bulls increase, the pregnancy cost per cow. The goal is to use highly fertile bulls, at the appropri-ate number so pregnancy rates will not be compro-mised, and bull power will not be wasted.
There are other aspects of bull management that can affect your reproduction performance. Please contact your veterinarian if you would like a consulta-tion on your current breeding programs, or if you have specifi c questions about BSE’s and how they might increase your profi tability.

PHOTO OF THE DAY
William StodalkaStaff WriterWildlife experts toured the Peace Region earlier this
week to try and get information that would help stop collisions between moose and automobiles.
“Anywhere north of Prince George, moose collisions are a concern, because there's more moose in the north-ern half of the province,” said Gayle Hesse, program coordinator for the Wildlife Collision Prevention Pro-gram.
Hesse toured parts of Dawson Creek and Fort St. John on highways to figure out spots near highways could come.
(Their visit was timely, since Hesse said that moose collisions go up during late June and early July.) Colli-sions with wildlife are high on northerner’s minds, ac-
cording to survey information gathered by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation.
About 54 per cent of the people who talked with the Ministry in an earlier survey said that they “frequently or very frequently” were concerned about wildlife col-lisions on Highway 97 between Dawson Creek and Fort St. John.
Other stretches of highway had similar numbers.These concerns may be warranted.In most parts of the province, about seven per cent of
collisions involve moose. But in the north, that goes up to 25 per cent, she said, because there is more moose up here, said Hesse.
Because these moose are bigger than deer, these col-
lisions are more likely to hurt – or even kill – the unlucky driv-ers who hit them.
Roy Rea, a professor with the University of Northern B.C., said that in northern B.C., that number is around 400 animals hit per year.
Rea said highway contractors hired to pick the ani-mals dead carcasses record these numbers.
Hesse noted that the real number is likely higher, since other animals may get hit, but die farther away from the highways and the roadside collectors.
“More often than the not, (a vehicle collision is) fatal to the animal.”
Despite the fact that not all collisions that kill moose are recorded, Rea said that on a whole, moose colli-sions have gone down. In the earlier part of the 2000s, the number of carcasses picked up by contractors was closer to 800 carcasses per year.
“Hopefully (the declining moose collisions are) in part due to public education,” said Hesse. “There's al-ways lots of factors: weather, road conditions, animal populations fluctuate up and down.”
Rea said another factor for the decline is that moose
number s on a whole in northern B.C. are going down. He said it’s still unclear as to why exactly these numbers have gone down, though.
“I don't think anybody knows how much (the moose numbers) are declining,” he said. “I don't know how much they're declining in the Peace.”
Still, Rea, Hesse, the Ministry of Transportation and others are working to bring these numbers down even further.
Rea believes these collisions may be related to ani-mals travelling to roadside “mineral licks.”
These mineral licks are wet muddy areas near the highway, and moose are keen to come near them to slurp up the water for its nutrients.
To try and prevent situations like these where ani-mals travel to mineral licks only to get hit by vehicles, Hesse and Rea travelled to research these licks around Peace Region highways – and decommission them.
Hesse said they have put up motion-activated cam-eras on two such licks.
“Over time we can say how many visits there are, is it the same animal every time, how long do they stay there, and try and pin that activity to the number of vehicle collisions that happen in those areas,” she said.
Rea said that he and the Ministry of Transportation are working to decommission other mineral licks, as well by filling them with rocks and mulch, among oth-er methods.
The Ministry has also taken other steps to reduce these collisions, Rea noted.
Rea said that “the Ministry of Transportation has been really good around moving these warning signs to reflect the current data.”
“Years ago, you might have put a sign up and it might have stayed there for a long time,” Rea added.
“So people in the peace will have noticed that in the last five years, the signs have changed where they were 10 years ago.”

There will be a protein small scale livestock field day on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, near Viking.
“The tour starts at Nature’s Green Acres at 11 a.m.,” says Bert Dening, business development of-ficer, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Barrhead. “They sell baby beef every fall - these are calves weaned from their mothers and sold as young, very tender beef. They also sell pork produced from heritage breeds, such as Tamworth, as well as broiler chickens and eggs. Nature’s Green Acres also work very closely with a number of chefs in Edmonton and do some very unique marketing of their products.”
Following lunch, the tour continues to Don and Maria Ruzika’s farm. “This organic farm does a lot of the same things as are done at Nature’s Green Acres”
says Dening. “What’s different about this farm is that they have planted thousands of trees over the years which are used as eco-buffers for the purpose of at-tracting insects and birds. They do quite a bit of work with universities, researchers and groups like Ducks Unlimited. Don and Marie also custom graze cattle and have a very unique cattle watering system. They believe in working with nature and not against it. This shows in the land with increasing organic matter and a very healthy mix of plants in the pastures.”
Dening says the field day is aimed at farmers who are interested in direct marketing meat and raising small scale livestock in a different way.
For more information on the field day, call Bert Dening at 780-674-8247 or via email at [email protected]. To register, go to the Alberta Farm Fresh website. Contact: Bert Dening - 780-674-8247
AGRI-NEWSJULY 21, 2014
FARM CREDIT CANADAJULY 18, 2014
by Trudy Kelly ForsytheWhile Manitoba has maintained a tuberculosis-
free status since 2006, beef producers in the Riding Mountain TB Eradication Area have had to conduct routine herd-wide bovine tuberculosis testing for more than 12 years. The disease remains a threat because of its prevalence in elk and deer.
This is one component of a program to eliminate the disease that is being co-ordinated by a multi-agency task group for bovine TB that was established in 2000. The program also includes disease surveil-lance of deer and elk, disease prevention, research and disease control.
Recent federal and provincial government invest-ments in projects to improve available tools for moni-toring bovine TB in livestock will soon see Manitoba move away from testing live cattle towards the use of slaughter surveillance data.
“The live animal testing comes at a significant cost to producers and it is time to use a new method,” says Melinda German, general manager of the Mani-toba Beef Producers.
Manitoba has launched a five-year, $150,000 project to better monitor bovine TB by linking on-farm data to traceability tools throughout the beef
processing system.Producers can access funding to conduct risk
assessments, ensure all necessary information about their livestock is available to an existing traceability system and follow up on any testing results related to their herd.
More information on how individual producers in the area can access funding will be available soon.
As well, the federal government is investing $297,000 through the Assurance Systems stream of the AgriMarketing program to enhance scientific detection tools and minimize disease spread between livestock and wildlife. Manitoba Beef will operate the program.
“The new tool to be used to monitor disease prevalence is the scenario tree model and if success-ful, this method can be used elsewhere in Canada,” German says. “The scenario tree model will allow us to predict what level of surveillance is needed over what period of time to achieve our goals. This will help move us away from live animal testing.”
Another important tool is making use of the traceability system to follow animals in the Riding Mountain area from birth to slaughter.
“Once again we will use an animal traceability system to trace the animals’ health status back after slaughter to ensure TB-free status, thus moving away from having to test live animals,” German says.
The federal government has also announced the renewal of Dr. Allan Preston’s role as Manitoba’s bo-vine TB co-ordinator until December 2014. Manitoba Beef hopes Preston’s position will be renewed beyond that, “to continue to move this initiative forward to ensure a timely and beneficial closure to TB testing in Manitoba,” German says. “We appreciate producers’ ongoing support as these tools are being implemented, as we believe they will be for the long-term benefit of our industry.”
New tools help maintain TB-free status

Steers on paradeSheep, pigs, and cattle were on display this past
weekend at the North Pine Fall Fair Grounds for the 4H Achievement Days, where rural kids from around the North Peace trotted out their four-legged projects to be judged.
The participants ranged in age from 9 to 21, though few participate past Grade 12. They’re also separated into junior and senior levels.
The event lasted two days, with Friday taken up with showing the animals, and on Saturday the con-formation contest, to see how ready the steers were for market.
There was intermittent rain, but that didn’t stop any of the events, said organizers – it just made things a little bit more uncomfortable.
According to the husband and wife beef coordinator team Fred and Madeleine Lehmann, the two-day event was really all about the steers.
“Just look at this,” said Madeleine Lehmann, point-ing to the sale sheets for Friday afternoon. There were ten lambs and five pigs, compared to 46 steers.
She said that although they typically sell for above market rate, because the money goes to the kids, she has seen some of those steers go for as much as $3,000.
The steers were picked last October and weighed in by mid-November. That starting weight is matched with the weight that they are logged at that event, to see how much they’ve gained over the past three quarters of a year.
“Feeding will have a lot to do with it, but also the selec-tion of the animal,” said Fred Lehmann. “Some animals will just be naturally more consistent. Others will have, by genetics, say their front end will be heavier than their rear – it’s just like people.”
Hannah Harmon, a recent high school grad, was no stranger to the contest, having done it several times be-fore. But like Lehmann, she said no matter how many times you do it, a lot still depends on the steer.
“When I picked him, he was 707 pounds at weigh-in,” said Harmon, referring to her 1,200-pound steer, Tod. “What I looked for was a long, deep calf with a big quar-
ter. I was walking through this guy’s herd and he was there and I just picked him.”
Tod won third place in the lightweight intermedi-ate class in Saturday’s conformation contest. But Fri-day, he won third place for grooming and first place for showmanship, as well as getting Harmon the grand champion overall showman award.
There were five different clubs in the competition: Lakeshore from Cecil Lake, Green Valley from Flat Rock/Clayhurst, Silver Willow from North Pine, Prespatou, and Wonowon.
Ron Noble, a retired rancher, was brought in from southern Alberta to judge the event.

by Allison FinnamoreCanada’s beef industry is striving for excellence.The new Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence
will help industry test-market new products, receive feedback on the new products and educate the general public about Canadian beef, the federal government states in a news release.
Overall, it’s expected the centre will build Cana-dian beef brand loyalty with emerging and interna-tional markets. The federal government is making a $3.8-million contribution to the Centre -- which will be located in Calgary, Alta. -- via the Western Diversi-fication Program.
The federal government says the initiative is ex-pected to be a focal point for the entire Canadian beef and veal industry, particularly in Western Canada, while supporting the growth of small- and medium-sized enterprises’ export presence in emerging
markets by providing education, leadership, technical expertise and training, as well as various marketing initiatives and product innovation activities.
“By enabling local businesses to meet growing consumer expectations, we are helping increase the overall competitiveness of the industry,” says Mi-chelle Rempel, minister of state for Western Econom-ic Diversification, in the news release.
Rob Meijer, president of Canada Beef Inc., says the Centre is key to new markets.
“The Centre of Excellence will further empower our industry to reach consumers and customers both here at home and around the world to build brand loyalty and generate new marketing opportunities,” Meijer says.
“The Centre of Excellence will be a nexus where the Canadian beef industry can drive innovation, build knowledge and awareness, foster important relation-ships and ultimately create value for Canadian beef and veal producers,” he says.

Kansas-based Peterson Farm Brothers — Gregory, Nathan and Kendal — haven’t just put together a fun new parody video, but they’re also using their music and blog to help share a message of environmental stewardship and sustainability. The latest song, “All I do is Farm,” seen below, is just as much fun as past parodies, but this video is peppered with comments on no-till, precision farming and decreasing water and nutrient erosion.
Greg Peterson has an accompanying blog post to go with the video that spells out the importance the farm places on no-till, water management and incorporating livestock into their farm. In the post, Pe-terson talks about their use of technology (both crop-based and machinery-based) and the role technology plays in conserving or reducing inputs, recognizing these are contentious issues for consumers.

Dawson Creek allows backyard chickens Jonny WakefieldStaff Writer The city of Dawson Creek is taking
steps to allow residents to keep chickens in their backyards after a plea from a chicken owner who was ordered to get rid of her birds.
Council voted to temporarily suspend a bylaw that prohibits the keeping of chickens within city limits. Going for-ward, city staff will study similar rules in other municipalities and bring forward a bylaw regulating chicken ownership in Dawson Creek.
The move came after a presentation from Cynthia Broberg, who keeps sev-eral chickens in a backyard coop. The city received a complaint about the chickens, and earlier this month the building inspector informed Broberg that she was breaking the law.
“Chickens are not permissible in a residential zone,” the inspector wrote in a letter. The city ordered her to get rid of the chickens within two weeks.
However, Broberg successfully ap-pealed the order, and in the process con-vinced council to relax its rules around chickens.
In a presentation, Broberg argued that around 60 per cent of B.C. residents live under local governments that allow the raising of residential poultry.
For example, the city of Vancouver al-lows residents to keep four mature chickens. The most lenient communities in B.C. allow up to eight birds.
Broberg also pointed out that ur-ban agriculture is in line with the city’s sustainability goals.
“Who am I hurting?” Broberg asked council. “[In keeping chick-ens,] my rights and freedoms aren’t interfering with someone else’s rights and freedoms.”
Broberg currently has five hens and five chicks. She said she hasn’t bought eggs since acquiring the birds in 2012.
Councillor Cheryl Shuman moved staff investigate updates to the bylaw.
“It’s a progressive thing to do,” said Shuman. “So many commu-nities across B.C. are doing it, let’s get with the times.”
Most concerns around urban chickens centre on noise from roosters and the potential for ro-dent infestations. Councillor Charlie Parslow noted the Peace Region has fewer rodent species than southern cities, and that most cities have stricter rules for males.
Humane societies in some cit-ies have also reported an uptick in the number of chickens dropped off, as well-inten-tioned urban foodies balk at the amount of work required to raise chickens.

The Northern Horizon, August 1, 2014 25
The warm smell of fresh-baked sweet bread is making its way through the Nawican Friendship Centre in Dawson Creek, where Louise Isadore is in the kitchen, wearing an apron labeled “Ban-nock Queen.”
Every Thursday, Isadore comes into the centre, mixing, kneading, rolling and cutting out three batches of bannock – making 90 in total.
“I’ve been coming to the centre since 1999. Now I’m on the board here, so I’m here all the time,” she says, waving a flour-covered hand.
She has already filled a large silver bowl with flour and baking soda when I arrive, and then pours in a mix of liq-uid ingredients, creating a well in the middle.
“I learned this from an early age – I was nine years old when I was already baking for my family, because there was a lot of us, 13 all together, and I’m the second oldest,” she says. “My brother is
the oldest, but he was living with us and my grandmother took over on him be-cause my mum was very young when she started.
“When they got married, she was only just turned 16 and got pregnant right away and she had my brother, then me and from there all the little ones – 13 of us.”
A great deal of the work around the house was piled on her, she said, from cooking to cleaning and changing dia-pers – she points out that at that time they didn’t have washing machines and everything was scrubbed out by hand.
“I learned from a very early age how to work,” she says.
Isadore grew up on the outskirts of the reserve in Driftpile, Alberta, north-east of Grande Prairie.
“I was born close to the river, Drift-pile River,” she says. “My dad worked for a farmer there.”
Her father took the farm job after moving the family off of the reserve, where she says he no longer wanted to live.
“The agent, he was not treating the people right, he was taking money from the government which should be go-ing to the reserve and the people there, so [my dad] had a fight with the Indian Agent, so we were out of the reserve,” she says.
At 8 years old, Isadore says, it was time for her to go to school, and the fam-ily moved to Faust, Alberta, on Lesser Slave Lake.
“It was just a garage, Post Office and one store,” she says. “It was just a little tiny place, and now it’s big. And I go back there – oh, is it ever huge.”
Isadore’s family lived more than two miles south of the town centre on a ranch, with her grandparents close by.
“I had two sets of grandparents, one side was Metis, one was status,” she says. “I was very lucky to have two sets of grandparents, then.”
The family had horses and travelled by team wherever they went. Isadore was given a horse by her grandparents when she was born, and says she rode it every day since she was small.
Sadly, when Isadore was 14, her horse was hit by the train that rolled past the town. The horse was pregnant at the time, and she says her Metis grandfather – a medicine man – tried to save the colt, but both were lost.
When they were children, Isadore says, she and her siblings rode horse-back to school, otherwise running through the bush – she recounts a time that they came across a bear en route but scared it away with all of the noise they were making.
“We never knew what a real shoe looked like, ‘cause we always had moc-casins and rubbers and wore our dress – we never wore pants or slacks,” says Isadore. “I think I was only about 14, or maybe a little older, when I started wear-ing ... I don’t know if it was jeans at that time. But that was in 1949 or ‘50.”
She says the girls were all wearing pants, so she and her sister talked her mom and dad into letting them wear jeans.
Her family always lived quite tra-ditionally, she says, speaking Cree at home, although her father knew both English and French from his time at resi-dential schools.
“When I first went to school, I didn’t know one word of English, and it was hard in the beginning,” she says. “It was horrible, but the teacher was really nice. She was wonderful – only one teacher for all the grades from Grade 1 to 6.”
The same teacher, Mrs. Bannister, is now about 90 years old and still lives in Faust today, Isadore says, adding that the school was eventually named after
her.Isadore stayed in school until Grade
8, when her mother pulled her out be-cause she needed help at home and had medical problems, after five miscarriag-es and losing one daughter at just over one year old.
“I basically was the second mother with my siblings. They didn’t call me mom, they had a name for me – my name was ‘Yay,’” she laughs. “I don’t know what that means, but it was my brothers, mostly. There’s five girls and eight boys – they almost made a ball team.”
Isadore says she has eight of her siblings left today. While cutting out individual bannocks with the mouth of an empty tin can, Isadore says she also makes bannock for her brother in Chet-wynd, and used to send it by bus to an-other brother.
“I used to put it on a bus for him, my other brother that passed away. He used to send me money on my bank account so I could by flour and baking powder and stuff,” she laughs.
With her open arms illustrating her words, Isadore says, “Our table grew and grew and grew. As the kids were just little, the benches on each side of this wooden table were long and towards the ends, my dad and my mom.”
Later into her teens, Isadore lived with her status grandparents because she and her sister disagreed over how to care for the younger siblings, and her mother took her sister’s side.
“My grandma told me, come and live with me, so I stayed with them for four years,” she says.
Despite all of the time she did spend with them, Isadore says she wishes she had learned more of her grandmother’s medicine and herbs.
“I was kind of not into it at all at that time, because I kind of figured my grandmother was going to live forever,” she says. “She lived to be 105, she lived right up until the end and didn’t die of old age or sickness. Her house caught on fire.”
After her grandmother moved out of her still-standing log cabin to a new house, faulty wiring caused a fire and she succumb to smoke inhalation, un-able to make it out the door.
“I don’t know how long she would have lived if it weren’t for the fire,” Isa-dore says. “Obviously she was doing something right.
“She used to make her own dried meat, smoked her own fish, she had all the stuff from the ground, from the earth like the roots and stuff. She knew all kinds of medicine for healing, she even could give you birth control,”

On Tuesday, July 8 Nora Paulovich and the staff at the North Peace Applied Research As-sociation (NPARA) hosted a workshop on erosion control, drainage and watershed restoration featuring Craig Sponholtz of Watershed Artisans Inc.
The workshop started with a three-hour classroom session at the Legion Hall in Manning where Craig led a discussion on different types of erosion, causes and the signifi cant effect man-agement has on erosion. He then described simple erosion control structures and discussed land management practises to increase water infi ltration.
Following the classroom session (and lunch), the participants moved out to the NPARA farm facility southwest of town where some erosion problems were identifi ed and discussed. Craig then led a discussion about simple erosion structures that could be built to minimize any further erosion and what changes could be made to management.
Producers in attendance said they would be able to take what they learned and apply to their own farms.

she continues. “She knew a lot of things, and she wanted to teach me the herbs in the bush, but I was a teenager and I didn’t care for that kind of stuff. I’m sorry today that I didn’t learn any of her stuff, just common colds and teas.”
Isadore says that her Metis grand-mother also played an important role in her education: she taught her how to make bannock.
The fi rst batch of the warm bread comes out of the oven with steam ris-ing, and Isadore drops the individual pieces off of the cookie sheet and onto the counter to cool. A few more people have already headed into the centre – she says some come after soup at St. Mark’s, others come just for bannock.
Growing up, Isadore says both sides of her family were hunters and fi shers – in the late summer and fall, they would all head out, with the grandmothers in charge of the children.
“We had four wagons going,” she says. “The Metis and the status both go on this hunting trip – kids and ev-erybody, grandparents and parents, ev-erybody went. We made camp, a huge
camp, we’d have a big pit with bench-es and logs, stumps around the big fi re.
“That’s the part I used to like, but you couldn’t stay up too long – you’d get sent to bed, or grandma would come looking for us.”
While the mothers were off haul-ing wood, making the fi re and drying meat, Isadore says the grandmothers would take them berry picking – on one occasion, having to fend the chil-dren off from a bear.
From Faust, Isadore’s father worked for the railroad for 25 years before re-tiring.
“He didn’t have to retire, but we had an accident, he got shot with a .22. It was my son, and he was only 8 years old. He didn’t know there was a bullet in this gun, and he was pointing it at everyone in the garden – we had a huge garden,” she says. “This goes back to 1962. It was on Thanksgiving Day. It was so horrible, he just barely made it. He had six hours in surgery to patch up all the little holes the bullet made.”
She says the accident affected her son for a long time – his grandfather was his best friend, she says.
Cooking up culture
High Pressure Processing (HPP) can extend the shelf life of food by killing microorganisms that can cause spoil-age. HPP has been approved for use in the United States. Canada’s Food and Drug regulations classify HPP-treated products as novel foods.
Research currently underway, funded by the National Check-off and Canada’s
Beef Science Cluster, is investigating the effects of HPP on the quality, nutri-tion and shelf life of marinated beef steak products stored under refrigera-tion. This study will establish new pro-cessing methodologies and guidelines for commercial production of high pres-sure processed, fresh marinated beef steaks with an extended shelf life, and generate data to inform Health Canada’s approval of commercially manufactured HPP-treated fresh beef products.

ELAINE ANSELMI PHOTODawson Creek Mayor Dale Bumstead said the repairs to the Fall Fair grand-stands were done so early, the contractor threw in a paint job.
Ready for chucksGrandstand repairs done in time for FairElaine AnselmiStaff Writer
With just a few weeks to go before “The Greatest Show in the Peace” gets underway, the grandstands are complete and dressed up with a fresh coat of paint.
“I’m so pleased to see the grand-stands fi nished. [Hegge Construc-tion] did a great job, got them done well ahead of time for us and even got them painted – which was not a part of the original budget, but they got them done for less than expect-ed, so they painted them too,” said Dawson Creek Mayor Dale Bum-stead. “I’m over the moon happy
with how they’ve turned out.”When discussion of the necessary
repairs came up earlier in the year, Bumstead said he had concerns that if the project couldn’t be completed, the event would have to be held else-where. As the Fall Fair beings large economic benefi ts to the commu-nity, he said if they were to lose it for one year, it would be very diffi cult to get back.
“You couldn’t put on the kind of event we would need to without those grandstands,” said Bumstead. “I’m so ecstatic. They just look so good.”

Ottawa, ON, July 24, 2014 -- 4-H Canada is pleased to announce the recipients of the CIBC 4-H Post-Sec-ondary Scholarships.
Members of 4-H from across Canada applied for eight scholarships each in the amount of $1,000, generously pro-vided by CIBC. The scholarships were open to 4-H’ers planning to pursue a post-secondary education in the field of engineering, arts, science, business, or health in the fall of 2014.
“4-H Canada is very fortunate that CIBC understands the importance of post-secondary education for our 4-H youth,” said Shannon Benner, CEO of 4-H Canada. “CIBC’s support of 4-H spans more than 60 years and this investment embodies the spirit of 4-H leadership because it cultivates self-esteem, responsibility, and self-motivation.”
4-H Canada is pleased to partner with CIBC for this scholarship initia-tive with the shared goal of supporting 4-H members in their goal of furthering their education and opportunities in some of today’s leading career fields. For over 100 years, 4-H Canada has been building responsible, caring, and strong leaders who affect positive change around them. Scholarships play a significant role in this development, helping young people pursue and meet their educational goals.
“CIBC is committed to investing in the futures of Canadian youth by offering scholarship opportunities for students to further their education at
post-secondary institutions,” said Dino Medves, Senior Vice President, Com-mercial Banking, CIBC. “We recognize that Canada’s economic prosperity depends on an educated and skilled workforce, which means supporting youth to ensure they have the resources to reach their full potential.”
This is a renewal of a $30,000 invest-ment CIBC is making over three years to provide post-secondary education scholarships to 4-H youth across the country.
4-H’ers from coast-to-coast submit-ted applications, which were reviewed by a selection committee that included 4-H youth representatives, a CIBC employee and 4-H Canada staff. 4-H Canada is happy to announce and con-gratulate the 2014 recipients:

40 The Northern Horizon, August 1, 2014
I was looking forward to stopping at Maison Maurice Dufour, which is only a few kilometers up the road from the Laiterie Charlevoix.
The rain was coming down in buckets and I was grateful that traffi c was light.
As I rode down the long driveway to the cheese maker’s, I thought about what I had been told about the Famille Migneron.
The Migneron family of cheeses that are crafted by Maurice DuFour and are con-sidered to be some of the best in the world. While all of the cheeses that are produced here are award winning, there are a couple of very special ones and they are not made from cow’s milk.
I parked the bike and walked towards the barns, if this was a dairy farm, it should be milking time, but because it was a sheep farm, I was unsure if there would be a simi-lar schedule.
I was in luck and got to watch the sheep being milked.
After watching the farm hand with the sheep for a while, I walked across the paved driveway to the store.
It’s a very well decorated store that makes you feel like you are in a café rather than a cheese maker’s. The only clue that this is different from a café or high-end restaurant, are the glass walls where you can
see cheeses that are curing!While the Dufour cheese offerings are
all impressive with rich, full-bodied fl avors, my favorite was Le Secret de Maurice, a soft-shelled liquid cheese made from 100 percent sheep’s milk.
The top or cap of the round is cut off revealing this creamy liquid. You can eat it with a spoon or drizzled on bread.
Having never tried cheese made from sheep’s milk I was surprised at the fl avor.
Rich and creamy, and very different from cows cheese! There are no words that I am aware of that can accurately describe how this cheese tastes. Eaten with strawber-ries by dipping them into the cheese, the cheese seems to draw the sweetness of the berry out.
Although I do not generally care for blue cheese, Le Bleu de Brebis de Charlev-oix, another 100% sheep’s milk cheese was one I quite enjoyed.
One of the greatest award winning cheeses produce by Maison Maurice DuFour is Le Migneron de Charlevoix. Soft and supple with a uniformly creamy texture this cheese has a buttery, hazelnut fl avor to it. Produce from the whole milk of regional dairy cattle, this cheese is very versatile. Chefs around the region use it in sauces and stuffi ng!
I enjoyed learning about the differ-ences in the varieties of cheese made in this region. It explained some of the exquisite dishes the various chefs of the region produce.
When everything you, as a chef, need to create a magnifi cent meal is produced locally and with such care, it makes the creation of those meals an absolute pleasure. And that is a comment I have heard from many of the chefs who now call this region home.
I thanked the ladies who took time to explain the cheeses that Maison Maurice DuFour had to offer and headed out to my bike.
I rode back into Baie-St.-Paul and Le Ferme, where I would be staying for my last
evening here. Tomorrow I would be on the road, heading back to Alberta.
La Ferme is a very modern, upscale and trendy hotel that has won a lot of awards for its architecture, but it is a very different hotel than the one Daniel Gauthier (of the Cirque du Soleil family) had envisioned.
Did you know that Cirque du Soleil was founded right here in Baie St. Paul? I didn’t!
Daniel Gauthier is the man behind Le Massif, the ski resort here in Charlevoix, it is a project that has taken a full 10 years to accomplish and encompasses adding hiking trails and gondolas to le Massif which is a mountain that offers some of the best skiing east of the Rockies!
He also owns a train that runs along the Saint Lawrence from Quebec City to La Malbaie.
La Ferme, is the fi nal jewel in the crown of this operation, offering the travel-ler an impressive array of themed rooms and incredible cuisine and customer service.
When I said the hotel is very different from the one originally envisioned by Mr. Gauthier;
I meant it. Originally his idea was to take the 100 year old, H shaped barn that once stood on this land and renovate it into a 5 star hotel, but some young folks smoking in the barn burnt it down and so today, the ultra modern buildings here all pay homage to the past with farm implements and pieces of the wood from the original barns that were salvaged after the fi re, integrated into the décor.
The hotel offers 145 themed rooms, a spa and a host of other amenities.
I parked my bike and walked into the lobby, and was served by a gentleman who spoke very good English. A bellman walked out to the parking lot with me to retrieve my gear of the bike and then escorted me to my room. It was quite a walk from the main parking lot to the room, and my bellman had an umbrella he held over us.
The room was not one of the ones I had toured previously.
All white and glass, the room was a marvel. The big queen bed divided the room and had a TV built right into the footboard, which went from fl oor to ceiling. The cup-board for clothes was a wee bit small, but as I discovered, there were large drawers under the bed that made up for that!
I availed myself of the cappuccino ma-
chine, and got all of my wet soggy gear off.I called room service and they sent
someone up to grab my wet gear and put it in the dryer for me. I took a long hot shower in the glass shower and then sat in the chaise lounger, with the desk pulled up to me and began working. My dinner reservation in Les Labours was for 7pm.
The meal, the service, the ambiance in Les Labours is amazing.
I sat at the counter to eat, as I wanted to watch the chef’s as they prepared meals.
The master chef here is David Forbes and his expertise in the kitchen is world-renowned.
I just knew I was in for a treat!I had the most amazing escargot in (Sea
Snails) served in a parsley puree with toma-toes, garlic and caulifl ower. I am sure they could have put the plate back in the cup-boards I cleaned it that well! The dish was peppery, pungent and full bodied. The snails were cooked to perfection and accompanied by the red wine I was drinking and the fresh bread, it was absolutely delightful.
Some people from Quebec city sat down next to me and we chatted for a bit and they expressed that they come to Charlevoix on the weekends to get out of the city and come experience the amazing cuisine here. We talked about the various restaurants and why this one is one of their favorites.
It wasn’t long before I fully understood why Les Labours is so well loved.
I had the roast kid shank served with parsnips and a cherry tomato confi t.

The Final DayCONTINUED FROM 40
The fl avors were amazing; the meat was so tender no knife was needed and the parsnips were the perfect foil to the rich meat.
I was in heaven. The waiter was
attentive without being obnoxious and when he came to discuss dessert he recommended I try a dish whose name I cannot re-member, but I will never forget the fl avors. It was a cake dish with blueber-ries and fresh honeycomb, sprinkled with chocolate.
Served with an Americano coffee, I dove into the delicate offering with gusto. I was amazed that after the big meal I just had that I had any room for dessert.
What an amazing meal.
I wandered back to my room to settle in for the night and slept like a baby in that glori-ous queen bed. When I awoke, the sky was still gray but the rain had stopped!
I called the front desk to get a luggage cart to take my gear to the bike and soon I was packed up and saying goodbye to Charlevoix and Saguenay Lac St. Jean.
I made a promise to myself as I rode out of the parking lot…I would be back and sooner than later as these two regions of Quebec have captured a piece of my soul.
I want to thank Nan-cy Donneley of Tourisme Saguenay-Lac-St. Jean
and all of the riders from her region who made my time there so special and I want to thank Francois Gariepy of Tourisme Charlevoix, again, these people showed me a side of Quebec that I did not know existed. It is one based in hospitality, it is welcoming and inviting and in spite of the per-ceived language barrier, these people want your trade, they want to get to know you and they want to show off their beautiful piece of Canada.
I urge you to give these regions of Quebec a chance to captivate you. You will not be disap-pointed.
The riding is magnif-icent, the scenery is awe inspiring, the attractions to take in are abundant and the hospitality is as welcoming and warm as you will fi nd anywhere in the world. Belt Drive Betty

The Northern Horizon, August 1, 2014 45
A pair of peregrine falcons has nested along the Pembina River — the first in the area for five decades — after they were driven to the brink of extinction by the use of DDT, a pesticide that was banned in 1972.
“It really calls for celebration,” said Gordon Court, a biologist with Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development.
“Like many of the other peregrines in Alberta, they were pretty much extir-pated from those river valleys.”
Amazingly, the pair has settled along the Pembina only about 100 metres away from the spot where the previous pair nested in 1964.
“Whatever they found attractive ... obviously they still found attractive to-day,” Court said.
The last of the birds were captured around 1970 and taken to a facility at CFB Wainwright where they were bred and, eventually, reintroduced into the environment.
Now, the population is likely just shy of 70 breeding pairs — the target the Alberta government has set to take the falcons off the threatened species list.
The government has been trying to introduce peregrines to the Pembina River for the past three summers. That two have settled there is a major success in work to introduce the birds into wild areas; many have previously nested in cities.
“Peregrines look at the world like they own the place,” Court explained.
There isn’t a problem with the birds nesting in cities, said Alastair Franke, who studies the falcons in Arctic Can-
ada.“They look at the highrises as basi-
cally cliffs,” Franke said.But learning to fly can be dangerous
because the birds can fall to the street. It’s “a much more lethal environment,” Franke said.
Releasing the birds into wild areas puts them in more natural habitats and helps spread them more evenly across the province.
“In that regard, this new pair of per-egrines on the Pembina has achieved ex-actly what it’s trying to achieve,” Franke explained.
When the birds are to be released, they are taken in a box to their new en-vironment where they are fed for several days and can see outside.
“One day we just crack the door a little bit, and like most teenage animals ... they go exploring,” Court said. “Then they’ll realize that they’re free, and then they just become young birds looking for adventure and food.”
In 2015, the birds, which weigh be-tween 600 and 1,000 grams, will be counted for a survey of nesting sites done every five years.
“What people do is jump in a heli-copter, fly to those known sites,” Franke said. “There’s either a pair there or there isn’t.”
The threat from pesticides has dimin-ished with the ban on DDT, but climate change is now threatening the species in Arctic areas because of increased tem-peratures and more storms that compro-mise reproductive success, Franke said.
“It’s possible that birds that are breed-ing in Alberta will also experience those same new threats that birds in some ar-eas of the north are experiencing.”

Falcons return to river after 50 years
POSTMEDIA PHOTOPeregrine falcons were nearly driven to extinction by the use of DDT, which was finally banned in 1972, several years after the last nest was spotted along the Pem-bina River.

While reusing greenhouse media makes economic sense, disease and changes to physical properties are just two of the is-sues that need to be considered.
“Greenhouse vegetable culture in Alberta has changed substantially over the last 30 years,” says Dustin Morton, commercial horticulture specialist, Alberta Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “Currently, it is not uncommon for growers to use the same media once, twice or even three times but there are potential risks.”
“Conventional wisdom tells us that whenever we crop something repeatedly, we get a build-up of disease and pests that are partial to that crop,” says Morton. “Much research has been done on this topic, as reuse is much more prevalent in Europe, with media sometimes being used for fi ve or six different crops. Contrary to prevailing wisdom, many of these studies have shown little incidence of increased disease or a negative effect on yield.”
Numerous papers and anecdotal evidence use the concept of biodiversity to explain this and the ability of different media to support it, notes Morton.
“For example, in one paper, rockwool was found to be more conducive to Pythi-um because of decreased microbial activity and increased water holding capacity. Con-versely, some compost-altered mediums were found to foster benefi cial bacteria and fungi which suppressed pathogenic mi-crobes. The plant benefi ted indirectly from the microbial community that had built up over subsequent croppings.”
Another concern is the mechanical
properties of the substrate. “Over numer-ous cropping cycles, organic based media such as sawdust and coco coir begin to break down,” explains Morton. “This decomposition often means decreased aeration, as small particles wash through the profi le and the medium compacts. Ul-timately, this compaction means decreased oxygen in the root zone, resulting in unhealthy, stressed plants.”
While not immune to compaction, inert media such as rockwool and perlite have a tendency to retain their original character-istics through multiple croppings. Certain brands of rockwool slabs and bricks are now being designed for multiple uses and perlite has been shown to be quite easy to restore nearly to its original condition.
A common theme amongst all these media is the possibility of changes to electrical conductivity and pH. Months of irrigation and fertilization can signifi cantly change these properties, making them less hospitable for subsequent crops. Further-more, chemicals released by decaying root and microbial material may have detri-mental allelopathic effects on the plants in production.
“As always, monitoring your crop, leachate and medium is vital to ensuring a healthy crop,” adds Morton. “Always en-sure that you’ve weighed and are comfort-able with the risks associated with re-using your media, regardless of the economic benefi ts. Talking to other growers, research and trialing it in your operation will ensure that you make an educated choice that helps your operation’s bottom line.”
For further information, call the Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

Hesston Series from Massey Ferguson RakesMassey Ferguson® Hesston Series hay rakes are built to follow the contours. Every rake wheel on our 3900 Series and 5000 Series models, for example, is spring-loaded and mounted on its own pivoting arm so it �oats independently. That means all the wheels are on the ground at the same time — not bouncing — allowing them to pick up the hay others leave behind. We even equip most models with front pivoting gauge wheels to keep the rake wheels from gouging in rolling ground. Ask your Massey Ferguson dealer for more details or visit www.masseyferguson.com today.
Simply more tractor, start to finish.
