The green world’s breadbasket?

eff Rubin, the former chief economist for CIBC World Markets turned J bestselling author, knows all about adaptation. His first book, Why Your World Is About To Get A Whole Lot Smaller grabbed international attention with predictions that world oil prices would climb to more than $200 a barrel by 2012, forcing a rethink of almost every economic driver in industri- Laura Rance alized nations. Editor Well, that didn’t happen. On the contrary, oil prices have dropped so precipitously that further development of Canada’s con- troversial oilsands, on which the Harper government has staked this country’s economic growth, makes questionable sense. But far from suffering a crisis in confidence in his crystal ball- gazing abilities, Rubin’s latest book, The Carbon Bubble, takes a sharp turn.

Brace for more commodity volatility China’s real estate bubble is deflating as the economy slows

By Hendrik Brakel Canadian Chamber of Commerce

hen someone asks where commodity prices are headed, they’re really asking: W what’s the outlook for China? Last year, China consumed more coal than the rest of the world combined and imported 70 per cent of the world’s seaborne iron ore. In 2012, China accounted for half of the global growth in oil demand. It’s a commodity behemoth and the recent slowdown in the Chinese economy is a big reason for weakness in prices for this sector. Should we be worried? China’s economic growth is definitely slow- ing, but the real concern is that official estimates of China’s GDP growth are overestimated. Economists are scratching their heads and coming up with widely varying estimates. Why all this guessing? China’s growth numbers are always suspiciously consistent and always within 0.2 per cent of the government forecast. Moreover, skeptical analysts see hard data, such as industrial production, energy consumption and construction, which are much weaker than GDP, and are using it to create their own estimates of what is going on. But it’s not just the data that is worrying. The big question is China’s real estate. Property prices in 70 Chinese cities have fallen for more than a year, and 60 million empty apartments await buyers. towards domestic growth, all while gently tile, oscillating from 16 per cent growth to two The Chinese government is well aware of the deflating a housing bubble. per cent.

yan Boyd would rather be searching for newborn R calves in waist-high grass than snowdrifts. The western Manitoba grain and cattle farmer has joined the ranks of producers chang- ing things up on the cattle side of their operations in search of lower operating costs and better environmental stewardship. He’s found that producing forage-finished cattle requires a strong focus on grazing and production management, forage quality, animal genetics and animal health. But it does pay off. “There is certainly money to be made if you are able to graze successfully. Our machinery and overhead costs are way down and I find the entire process more enjoyable,” said Boyd, a third-generation farmer. “I calf in the spring and to come out on the quad and see calves on grass that is almost as tall as they are, that’s a bit nicer than when it’s 40 Brandon-area farmer, Brett McRae recently began trialling an intensive grazing plan.

McElroy says Hemp Oil Canada will have about 75,000 acres of seeded crop this year. Clarence Shwaluk, director of farm operations at Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods, also says hail has caused some damage, mostly near Carman, but most crops are healthy. “From what it looks like, the crops in Manitoba are doing very well.

That’s given rise to rethink- ing about community less as a single entity but across economic and geographic regions, the report says, noting that municipalities with population growth are those placing greater emphasis on regional co-operation with neighbouring towns.

I became quite efficient at cutting beans after modifying my cutting techniques. I tried several different knives and finally decided a pair of scissors was my best option. I guess I learned something about trial and error and the scientific method in the process. When I applied my bean-cutting techniques to the bushels of rhubarb I also cut up, it didn’t work so well. Besides cutting the beans, I had helped plant them. When they appeared on the menu, I ate them, too. Maybe my parents were on to something. Summertime brings opportunities to teach children about growing food and helping with food preparation. Many vegetables are at the peak of their nutritional value and flavour. They’re less expensive in season, too. Fresh radishes, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, peppers, squash and all the other colourful fresh produce items add nutritious variety to summertime menus. Reaching the goal of eating about 4-1/2 cups of fruits and vegetables daily may seem a little easier with the wide array of summertime produce. With all the farmers’ markets cropping up, you don’t even have

Co-operator barn series revival Do you know this barn?

f you do, a Manitoba historian wants to hear from you. In early 1981 the Co-operator worked with provincial Manitoba Historic I Resources Branch staff to photograph and publish a series on rural buildings in Manitoba. Each week a photo and a story were published about why each of the buildings were rare or unusual. Now Gordon Goldsborough, webmaster and journal editor with the Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is looking for Co-operator readers’ help to relocate these barns. He has looked for them during road trips in rural Manitoba, but because the site’s location details are scant, he has been unable to find them. He wants to include the buildings, with their GPS co-ordinates on a map of historic sites being prepared for the MHS.

This photograph was taken by now-retired Co-operator editor Bob Hainstock who took the photo in the 1980s for the earlier project. Many of the photos were eventually included in Hainstock’s 1986 book Barns of Western Canada: An Illustrated Century.

We are including the original “caption” that ran with his photo, hoping a reader can answer these questions:

1. Does the building still stand? 2. If so, where is it? 3. What are its GPS co-ordinates? This eight-sided barn is located about two miles west of Manitou and about five miles north. Built in 1900 for Henry Deamel, the 4.
