Taking performance to new heights. 15 16 The Manitoba Co-operator | September 21, 2017 Lots of advantages to desiccating sunflowers The key is timing and determining if the crop is good enough to justify the additional cost

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

esiccating confection or oilseed sunflow- D ers to speed up harvest can deliver profits and peace of mind, but timing is every- thing, says Anastasia Kubinec, Manitoba Agriculture’s manager of crop industry development. “There has been a move to more producers going to des- iccating sunflowers because they do see the economic ben- efit to it,” Kubinec said during the CropTalk Westman webinar Sept. 13. “If your yields are going to be down because of weeds or dis- ease maybe it’s not going to be the thing for you to do.” Manitoba sunflowers are two weeks earlier than last year, she said. Desiccation will cost $16 to $25 an acre depending on the desiccant, rate and cost of aerial application, she added. Weather is another factor to consider. If a killing frost (-4 C for four to six hours) is in the forecast farmers can save Desiccating sunflowers too early can cut yield and test weight. Ideally seed moisture at the time of desiccation will be 14 to 16 per cent, or at least under 20. The back of the money letting Mother Nature sunflower head can be a guide.

By Shannon VanRaes Co-operator staff

f you want to save your sun- flowers, you need to make I sure the blackbirds don’t make them dinner. Lower acres this year have served to concentrate the black- bird flocks into smaller areas where they can do more damage, according to Daryl Rex, an agron- omist with the National Sunflower These tower tops for the new Bipole III line await lifting into place. photo: sandi knight Association of Canada. “I think it is definitely because of less acres, but it’s also the loca- tions of fields,” Rex said. “If there are some reeds or bulrushes close to the fields they like to settle down in there and then feed on the sunflowers.” He reminded producers that getting into ditches and remov- ing vegetation is the best way to deter blackbirds. No other effec- tive deterrents are available. “There really isn’t anything else,” he said. “Bangers have been used previously, but they are only good for a small area.” Blackbirds begin feeding on sunflowers shortly after they drop their petals and can form large flocks, which reach maxi- mum size near mid-September. Because the birds prefer early- maturing fields, planting sun- flower fields in tandem with neighbouring producers can help stop the pests from focusing all their attention on one field. Overall damage from the winged sunflower predators is on par with previous years, Rex said. While 100,000 acres of sunflow- ers were planted in Manitoba last year, only about half as many acres were planted this year, bumping up the bird-to-sun- flower field ratio. According to Statistics Canada, acres peaked in Manitoba at 190,000 in 2007 and dipped down to 35,000 in 2011. Rex added that most blackbird damage has been reported in the southwest part of the province, but other areas have seen some issues with sclerotinia. “There is some stalk and head rot damage showing up in central Manitoba, but out in the eastern part of the province things are looking fairly well,” said Rex. “I’d say it’s mostly weather related, there is always a low level out IS YOUR FARM WORKING there.” He added that overall the crop is looking fairly normal.

The pest overwinters in corn- stalks and field residue before pupating and emerging as an adult moth in spring.

Monitoring resistance Manitoba’s population shows no resistance at this time, Gavloski said. The grain industry hopes to keep Manitoba’s resistance-free record. Experts have advised farmers to include “refuges,” sac- rificial plants that do not produce Don’t let something Bt and provide limited habitat for the pests to lower resistance pressure. this small take a big chunk “There’s always some people who aren’t complying, but I think of your profits. for the most part people are aware that they need to have a refuge and most are doing it and nowa- days a lot of the corn that people buy has what is called a blended refuge, where the susceptible vari- ety is blended right in,” Gavloski said. Manitoba Agriculture notes that in-season treatment is only effective during the first two lar- val instars, a window that closes within seven to 10 days of eggs hatching. After that, larvae tunnel into the safe haven of the corn- stalk and will be unaffected by Bt sprayed on the surface of the plant. In 2014, Bt varieties accounted for 42.9 per cent of grain corn acres and 15.1 per cent of silage corn. The next year, the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation reported that about 44.9 per cent of grain corn was a Bt variety, while silage acres dropped to 13.9 per cent. That’s a jump from the 2011- 13 era, when resistant grain corn acreages dropped to a 26.8 per cent low, but remains low com- pared to acres planted in the late Get a higher level of blackleg control, 2000s.

HOW CUSTOMERS USE CANADIAN FIELD CROPS

It’s durum but it’s not pasta

Durum wheat is famous for making good pasta, but there’s another market which is almost as large. Couscous is a staple food in the North African countries of Morocco, Algeria and Libya. It’s made by steaming durum semolina (coarse flour) and is served with a meat or vegetable stew.

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

ugouts aren’t always ideal, and farmers who D run rotational grazing or lack surface water are looking for options to get their herd a drink. For many, that means pipe- lines, although designing the details may quickly become complex. Will the system draw on nearby open water? Will it be piped from a yard site or pumped from a well? Will the pipes be buried or above ground? How will it be powered? How much area must it cover and how many animals will it service? How many outlets should the pump source? The answers, according to researchers at the Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives (MBFI), will be largely farm specific. MBFI tackled the problem in its latest round of research at the Brookdale site north of Brandon when it designed a solar-pow- ered pipe system drawn from a nearby slough. Manitoba Agriculture livestock specialist Ray Bittner explains the remote solar watering system at the Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives Brookdale site.

CONNECTING RURAL FAMILIES Argyle set to serve its 135th annual fall supper The Brant-Argyle local history book talks about the popular community meal that began in 1882

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

he number of potatoes peeled in the village of T Argyle for its annual fall supper can probably circle the planet by now. Several hundred pounds are served every year and 2017 marks the 135th year since this tiny southern Interlake com- munity began its yearly fall tradition. Organizers know for sure their annual fall tradition is only 15 years shy of being as old as Canada itself. “It’s actually in our (local) history book,” said Tracy Dunstan, a community volun- teer organizing the meal. The account records how local women began hosting the meal in 1882 and how it has been “... held every year with the exception of one, we think.” It was once called “the anni- The standard fare of a fall supper remains unchanged over decades: chicken or turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetables and, later, pie for dessert.

It was one of the social events of the year,” the history book says. Not much has changed in all those years, says Dunstan. The main difference is vol- unteers from the whole com- munity assumed looking after it, following the closing of the Argyle United Church a few years ago.

Some pickles were sweet because the brine contained a lot of added sugar and other pickles were quite sour. Cabbage was fermented to form sauerkraut in a crock with a heavy cover in a cool room in our basement. Preserving food by fermentation predates all of us by thousands of years. Pickles can be made from almost any vegetable or many fruits, and their history dates back to 2000 BC. In the absence of refrigeration, early people figured out that salt helps prolong the shelf life of foods. Perhaps someone dropped veg- etables in salty seawater and a couple of days later, they noticed some bubbling as the veg- etables began to ferment. The salt prevented the dangerous bacteria from growing and allowed the beneficial bacteria an opportu- nity to grow. We aren’t sure what happened next in his- tory because no one had Facebook or Twitter to post photos. Almost any vegetable can be successfully pickled to preserve it for later. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK

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 I 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 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 devel- oped a website to post your replies to a series of questions about eleva- tors. 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 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.
