NEWS catching some rays EU should halve meat, dairy consumption to cut nitrogen

By Nina Chestney london / reuters

People in the European Union, who according to a United Nations body eat way more protein than necessary, could prompt big cuts in nitro- gen pollution if they halved their meat and dairy consumption, a UN-backed report said in late April. Currently, 6.5 million to eight million tonnes a year of nitrogen escape into the environment due to agricultural prac- tices. That represents around 80 per cent of nitrogen emissions from These turtles on the shores of their watering hole near Gruthal are doing their best to soak up some sun. photo: hermina janz all sources, said the study by the United Nations’ Economic Commission for Europe’s (UNECE) Task Force on Reactive Nitrogen.

Oilpatch means slick times for RTMs Young couples are looking for quality homes

By Duncan Morrison Co-operator contributor

n oil and gas boom like the one underway in southwestern A Manitoba nowadays can have many spinoff effects to the economy. Some, such as more employment opportunities, are obvious to all. Others, such as an increase in ready-to-move (RTM) home sales, are not quite as evident. But that’s exactly what is going on in southwestern Manitoba. “We are seeing an increase of RTM home business in southwest- ern Manitoba as a result of the oil- patch business,” says Larry Huston of Lakeshore Homes in Rossburn, Mani- toba. “Young couples are moving to southwestern Manitoba and look- ing for affordable and quality hous- ing and are exploring the RTM home options.” Huston owns Lakeshore Homes with his wife Janette. He says the ability for his company to deliver an RTM home to home buyers within 90 days is a key selling feature for home buyers in the oilpatch. He says his company is unique in that it will also build the basement on site for the RTM if that’s what the customer requests. Lakeshore’s RTM homes are built in Portage la Prairie through the Hus- tons’ business partnership with Bai- ley Homes and shipped throughout Manitoba and Saskatchewan from there. According to Huston, the oilpatch A booming oilpatch has increased the demand for new homes in western Manitoba and it can be difficult sourcing tradespeople to build on site. is also a driver of RTM homes in photo: thinkstock another sense besides housing young families.

Rural properties the key for RTM homes Custom-built RTMs are a hit with ‘empty nesters’ looking to downsize and still have a nice home

Origins, climate and permits

By Duncan Morrison Co-operator contributor

The RTM home and building industry originated in lum- beryards and has evolved to also include customized RTM home builders, such as New Generation Homes, and other builders. Industry experts speak positively to the capa- bilities and durability of the RTM home. The seasonal tem- perature swings on Canada’s Prairies can be extreme on both sides of the thermometer. To protect all Canadian homebuyers, the RTM home is built to the same national building codes as homes that are built on site. Building codes are starting to change in an attempt to pre-empt expected changes due to climate change such as increased pre- cipitation and snowfall. Examples of building code Customized RTMs are a favoured choice for retiring farmers transferring the homestead to the next generation. changes of this nature can be seen within insulation and wall tightening changes.

As third generation farmers, the Jeffries look to us for next-generation advice.

TD is committed to helping farmers build for the future. Dave Jeffries and his sons, Roland and Ernie, know a thing or two about farming. So, when it was time to expand the business, they naturally chose a bank that knew how to help. At TD, they found Agriculture Specialist Vince Puchailo, who helped implement a succession plan that involved Dave’s brother. Vince’s understanding of the complex process even impressed the lawyers handling the sale. A personalized approach to agriculture fi nance, like Vince’s, is something all TD Agriculture Specialists bring. Maybe it’s time you brought one to your farm.
