Divided we fall

metaphorical bombshell exploded this week over the corner of A Portage and Main, the historic heart of Canada’s grain trade. Richardson International, Winnipeg’s largest homegrown grain trader, is pull- ing its financial support out of the Canola Council of Canada, Soy Canada and the Flax Council of Canada (see Allan Dawson’s story on the front page). Gord Gilmour As a result, the flax council has already Editor announced it will be shuttering its Winnipeg office, a move that also affects the Manitoba Flax Growers’ Association, which had shared the spot. Both groups say they’ll survive, but admit the funding hit will have an effect. Soy Canada says the impact will be minimal. In no small part that’s due to its funding formula. Annual membership fees paid by industry members — such as seed companies, crushers and exporters — are based on sales or volume and are capped at a maximum of $25,000. Funds began 2018 with bleakest-ever take The biggest loser under this scenario is surely the Canola Council of Canada, which received the lion’s share of the $1 mil- buying trend in both CBOT corn and wheat lion that Richardson says it shelled out annually.

The live- stock specialist centred his talk around maximized silage value. Silage is old hat for producers in the Interlake, but its expense, and the fact that it often requires a custom cut, makes it less popular to the south where land is less prone to moisture problems. “It can fit in, really, any differ- ent type of situation all the way from cow-calf to background- ing to finishing animals,” Bittner said. Corn silage and barley silage are already known tools in fin- ishing operations. Corn silage, in particular, is commonly cited by public and industry special- ists and Manitoba Agriculture includes guidelines for both barley and corn silage finishing, along with hay. “I think things like alfalfa Ray Bittner of Manitoba Agriculture makes the case for silage during Ag Days 2018.

Cargill to expand at Oakner Soybean growers are seen benefiting from eight-figure upgrades

STAFF

Agri-food firm Cargill expects to provide more marketing oppor- tunities for western Manitoba growers — particularly of soy- beans — with a major elevator expansion. The U.S. company’s Winnipeg- based Canadian arm on Jan. 18 announced it will put up $15 mil- lion to add 9,000 tonnes of stor- age capacity to its 13,500-tonne- capacity elevator at Oakner, Man., about 70 km northwest of Brandon. Renovations at the facil- ity, south of the intersection of highways 21 and 24, are also to include “faster” grain receiving “We still use the fi rst and shipping capabilities and an upgraded 100-plus rail car track system, which connects to the Meridian bins we bought in Canadian National Railway (CN) main line.

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. Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at: http://www. mhs.mb.ca/elevators. Annexes were built when more grain storage was needed than the elevator could provide.
