total of 44 farms and other agricul- tural sites threw their doors open A Sunday to celebrate Open Farm Day, part of Farm and Food Awareness week, which runs until Sept. 25. Open Farm Day co-ordinator Wendy Bulloch said the farm hosts always go the extra mile to showcase the indus- try at the event, which is in its seventh year. “It’s an incredible amount of work, and really shows their dedication and excitement about telling their story,” Bulloch said in an interview the day after the event. “They really try to give their visitors a memorable experience and they do it all from the goodness and kindness of their hearts.” It’s too early for full attendance fig- ures but anecdotally she’s heard from farmer participants that attendance numbers were good and there was a lot of interest. One attendee was Ralph Eichler, provincial agriculture minister, who visited an Interlake bison operation. Eichler said he was pleased to be able to help celebrate the event. “It’s just a great opportunity to show Bison producer Ken Overby (l) and Ralph Eichler, provincial agriculture minister, talk a bit about bison production Sept. 18 as part of Open Farm Day.

here’s a familiar trope of editorial cartoonists that features a chain T of fish, small to large, with each larger incarnation set to consume the next smallest, until the tiny, blissfully unaware minnow at the very end of the food chain.

Then the Bayer-Monsanto deal was final- ized. Both are still subject to regulatory approval, but the fact remains that from the corporate perspective they’re done deals.

o matter how big or small, you have to start to tag them Nall. With the final phase of the Canadian Pork Council’s PigTrace national traceability program now in effect, both commercial and hobby farms can face financial pen- alties for failure to comply. Right now though regulators appear to still be focusing more on education than enforcement, but that could change. “Even if you only have two or three pigs in the backyard, you have to comply,” said PigTrace Canada manager, Jeff Clark. “So whether I have one pig I bought this spring and it’s my first time buying a pig and I ship to slaughter this fall, even to a small abattoir... or I have a hog barn, you have to be registered.” Fines start at $1,300 for minor infractions and serious breaches such as counterfeiting tags carry a All pigs need to be traceable for a national program to work. photo: thinkstock $10,000 penalty.

He’s found rumen health is an important component and their health depends heavily on how cattle are fed. “There is no way we can talk about rumen health or rumen function without the impor- tance of cattle actually consum- ing feed,” Penner said. Minimizing variation of feed and nutrient intake across dates is vital in providing consistency within the rumen as it allows for an active but regulated rumen microbial population. BUILT TO HANDLE With more consistent feeding systems, rumen microbes see TRASH IN HIGH RESIDUE CROPS less variation in fermentation characteristics. The fermentation process within the rumen is impor- tant because as the rumen digests feed, microbes within the rumen ferment and grow, which in turn produce valuable protein. “When those microbes are fermenting that feed, it is giv- ing them energy and essen- tial nutrients so that those microbes are able to grow. As they grow they are producing byproducts, short chain fatty acids, the most valuable source of protein for cattle,” Penner said. Roadblocks in achieving a consistent supply of dry mat- ter and nutrient intake occur mainly during exposure to adverse weather, calving, trans- portation events or extreme temperatures. “In terms of preventing or trying to remedy intake vari- ation, if you can identify a potential problem and focus on management strategies that minimize the impact on intake, that will achieve the greatest VISIT WWW.FARM-KING.COM FOR MORE INFORMATION OR VISIT YOUR LOCAL FARM KING DEALER. rewards for your operation,” Penner said. “If we have a sit- uation where we know those cattle were not housed under FARM KING TANDEM DISCS ARE BUILT TO HANDLE TRASH ideal situations, we need to AND INCORPORATE HEAVY RESIDUE.

Oat harvest affects quality What you do at harvest may determine acceptance for milling

arvest is a critical step in ensuring oat quality. H As we are starting to see lots of oat samples coming in, we are noticing a few things that we thought we should try and address, to assist with har- vesting good milling oats. First, try not to “overthrash” your oats. When they are get- ting dry, it is very easy to have your combine set too tight, causing dehulled kernels in your oats.

Smarter farming could cut hunger in drought-hit Southern Africa — researchers Too few resources are available to educate the continent’s farmers about potential solutions to their problems

BY BUSANI BAFANA JOHANNESBURG/ Thomson Reuters Foundation

outhern African farmers facing hunger as a result of S worsening drought know a lot about climate change but lack the resources to put solutions that work into place, agriculture and development researchers say. That is in part because gov- ernment agricultural exten- sion services, which offer train- ing and advice to farmers, have too few agents, accord- ing to a report by the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation, based in the Netherlands. In many cases, farmers are sim- ply not aware of potential solu- tions, said Oluyede Ajayi, a sen- ior program co-ordinator with the centre, speaking on the sidelines of a regional meeting this week in Johannesburg on scaling up cli- mate-smart agricultural solutions. Such shortcomings are one reason an ongoing drought in Southern Africa has left 23 million people dependent on food aid, with another 13 million in need of help, according to the Southern African Development Community, Malawian subsistence farmer Simon Sikazwe stands beside communal maize fields in Dowa near the capital Lilongwe, February 3, 2016. Late rains which launched a $2.8-billion in Malawi threaten the staple maize crop and have pushed prices to record highs. About 14 million people face hunger in Southern Africa because of emergency appeal in July. a drought exacerbated by an El Niño weather pattern, according to the United Nations World Food Progam (WFP).

Family mealtimes matter Sitting down for a meal together can improve nutrition, strengthen relationships and decrease stress

Our two older kids are in college and no longer living under our roof. We have decided to keep our family mealtime tradition whenever possi- ble, though. Eating interesting meals together strengthens our family bond and helps us maintain our connection with our children as they enter adulthood. We are collecting the dividends on a jour- ney toward healthful eating. Through the years, our kids’ taste buds have become more adventuresome.

This Old Elevator

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 Idisappearing “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 supply- ing 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 sto- ries related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one not included on that list. 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 Elevator website at: http://www.mhs.
