eavers might be Canadian icons, but the buck- B toothed mammals are a growing concern for some Manitoba rural municipalities. The furry nuisances topple trees and plug culverts, flooding towns and farmland. A new beaver-control program brings good news for farmers, but is troubling for municipal politicians in problem areas, who are concerned the program has unrealistic expectations. While previous programs funded by the ministries of Conservation and Environment focused on preserving municipal infrastructure, this new program requires councillors to address beaver control on acreages and agricultural lands as well. “To date we have never gone on private property to chase down the beavers,” said Debbie Soloway, from the Rural Municipality of Mountain.

For Manitoba farm writers however, there is an even more important rule — John Morriss don’t express any opinions on drainage. Editorial Director This is because everyone out there is more expert than you, especially on ways to get water off their land and send it somewhere else, and especially when it’s right now. That said, perhaps it’s time to be bold and express the view that there has been a “tipping point” reached on the drainage issue. It comes down to this: just about everyone in the province is now living “somewhere else” — in other words, drainage is causing flooding for more people than it’s helping. Senegalese farmers losing their That realization no doubt prompted the provincial Progressive Conservatives to on July 30 call for a moratorium on drainage in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Crop insurance data puts this year’s winter wheat crop at 385,225 acres, down 20 per cent from last year. Winterkill, excessive moisture this spring and fusarium head blight are expected to take a toll on this year’s winter wheat yields and quality, especially in western Manitoba, said Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development’s farm production adviser in Souris. “I think we’re going to be disappointed with some of the fields out there,” he said during a webinar Aug. 8. “They are definitely not going to be average I don’t think. The fields I was in are definitely going to be below average mainly because... we have a very uneven crop and it was really hard to get the timing for spraying... and it was hard to travel on the field. I think in this part of the province we’re going to have some fusarium issues with the winter wheat.”

That’s why it’s important for you to understand the risks created by severe summer weather and how you can protect Protect yourself yourself — weather or not. Look for the signs Hot and/or muggy days and warm nights indicate thunderstorms may be forming — so be from severe prepared. Keep your eyes on the sky and watch for the possible development of storms. Listen for the warnings Environment Canada monitors the weather and issues severe weather warnings. Check your local weather. television or radio station regularly during the summer to see if any severe weather is expected in your area. Purchasing a Weatheradio receiver would also give you 24-hour-a-day access to Environment Canada’s weather watches and warnings. Take shelter When severe weather threatens, find shelter immediately. Do not follow storms in your car or attempt to take photographs. If you’re indoors, take shelter in the basement. If there is no basement, find shelter in a small interior ground floor room away from windows. If you are in an office or apartment building, take shelter in an inner hallway or room, preferably in the basement. If you are caught outdoors, lie flat in a ditch or other low-lying area and cover your head. Be prepared Storms often strike quickly so it’s important that you have a plan in place before severe weather hits. Prepare a “72 Hour” emergency kit — Your kit should include food, clothing, blankets, medication, bottled water and first aid and tool kits, as well as flashlights and a battery-powered radio — with extra batteries for both. You should have enough supplies in your kit to last 72 hours. Reduce the hazards on your property — Trim rotting or dead branches and cut down dead trees on your property. You should also check the drainage around your house to reduce the possibility of basement flooding. Secure everything that might be blown around or torn loose. Flying objects such as garbage cans and lawn furniture can injure people. Find out more Learn more about how you can protect yourself from the dangers of severe summer weather at manitoba.ca.

Invasion of the body snatchers This grasshopper munching on a sunflower in southwestern Manitoba is being devoured by parasitic red mites (Eutrombidium locustarum), says Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) entomologist John Gavloski. The mites feed on the blood (hemolymph) of grasshoppers. They also prey on grasshopper eggs. Each female mite can lay up to 4,000 eggs, providing mite populations the potential to increase rapidly and substantially as grasshopper populations increase. Research in Montana has shown that these mites can reduce the survival and reproduction of grasshoppers. Red mites are fairly common this year, Gavloski said. Lionel Kaskiw, MAFRD’s farm production advisor based in Souris said one in seven or 10 of the grasshoppers he saw in a sunflower field last week had the mites. This particular field had a high number of feeding grasshoppers on its edges. Gavloski said it doesn’t usually pay to spray grasshoppers in sunflowers until there is at least 25 per cent defoliation. photo: lionel kaskiw, mafrd

By Lorraine Stevenson co-operator staff

f you take photos of eye-catching insects, you’ve joined the swelling I ranks of amateur bug photogra- phers. Many people take photos of curious insects they see, thanks to the proliferation of digital cameras and the smartphones most carry. Diana Bizecki Robson, curator of botany at the Manitoba Museum, hopes the same curiosity prompting this photography now leads to exploring a new website where they can learn wild pollinators’ names and the job they do. She’s the creator of the Manitoba Museum’s new virtual exhibit — www. prairiepollination.ca — launched this month to share the story of wild pollinators such as bees, wasps, beetles, moths, butterflies and flies, and the native plants they depend on. Bizecki Robson has spent a decade researching Prairie pollinators and their habitats, helping make new discoveries about interrelatedness between wild pollinators and the plants of Prairie eco- systems. What often strikes her is how little the public knows about the role of Diana Bizecki Robson is the Manitoba Museum’s curator of botany who created the Prairie pollination exhibit to help enhance public appreciation of pollinators. all types of wild pollinators, and motivate people to make positive changes to save them. pHOTO: LORRAINE STEVENSON There’s been heightened awareness about domestic bees, and butterflies, of course, but not about the role of wild pollinators in food crop production. Bees in general are among the most important pollinators on the Prairies, but flies, especially flower flies, are the next most important. “A lot of people don’t realize that flies are actually pollinators — potentially some of them appear to be pretty good pollinators of crop plants,” says Bizecki Robson. “We know, for example, that bee flies visit canola but which species of bee flies and how abundant they are and how important they might be... nobody has really looked at it yet.” Wasps, beetles, moths and ants are other examples of wild pollinators. Theirs is a fascinating story too, but one usually told only in technical papers and obscure journals only scientists read, adds Bizecki.

I noticed some tender, young zucchini squash peeking out from under the foliage. I could almost taste the warm zucchini bread and muffins you can make. I didn’t plant any zucchini plants this year because I was a little overzealous planting many different vegetables. Zucchini plants take more space than other plants. I think my neighbour will share a zucchini or two to try with the recipe I have included in this week’s column. I noticed the tomatoes in my garden are getting red and some onions are getting large enough to sample, so they will be added to the garden-fresh recipe, too.

Dear Reena, Can you tell me what the difference is between all-purpose flour and cake flour? Thanks, Elaine

Hi Elaine, The main difference between different types of flour are the quantity of the wheat germ and bran that are milled with the flour, and the type of wheat used for the flour, and the relative protein content of that wheat. The protein content in the flour influences the amount of gluten created while knead- ing and leavening the flour. Glutens are amino acid strands that make the flour more elastic or less elastic when flour is mixed with water and kneaded. Cake flour consists of seven to eight per cent of protein content while general all- purpose flour consists of 11 to 12 per cent of protein content.
