Food solitudes

orld Food Day on Oct. 16 shed light on some confusing twists W around global food security. The annual UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) event dating back to 1945 now falls five days after another big day — World Obesity Day, established by the World Obesity Foundation in 2015 to highlight the growing epidemic expected to threaten the health of one-third of the Laura Rance world’s population by 2025. FBC Editorial Director Meanwhile, farmers in this part of the world have risen to the “feed the world” challenge — so much so that they are caught up in an inverse relationship between increased production and lower prices. University of Nebraska PhD student Michael Castle recently captured that conundrum in his thesis exploring whether “pre- cision agriculture” — high-tech but expensive equipment for precise application of fertilizer and chemicals — is increasing profits on Nebraska farms.

Research suggests the bright berries could help offset push to remove antibiotics from chicken feed

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

ranberry has long been touted as a booster of the human immune sys- Ctem — and it turns out that benefit may also apply to chickens. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada research scientist Moussa Diarra has been exploring cranberry as an alternative to antibiotics during the critical first weeks after hatching. “In conventional poultry production, we use antibiotic right away from Day 0 to Day 35, and there is a reason for that because young chicks, or young birds, are really more susceptible to infection,” he said. “If they are adults, they build their own immunity. If they are younger, they’ll stand to lose maternal immunity when they grow, so you have a transition time between the end of maternal immunity and the time to build their own immuni- ties, so that transition time is really crit- ical for young chicks. They need to be protected before they become stronger in terms of immunity to fight against infection.” Research has shown that chicks are vulnerable to a wide range of diseases, from E. coli-caused colibacillosis and rot gut (an illness commonly treated by anti- biotics), to infectious bronchitis, fungal Dr. Moussa Diarra of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada says cranberry could help boost immunity and lower mortality in broiler chicks. brooder pneumonia and salmonella, the Photo: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada root of a recent health scare which led to 13 human cases and four hospitalizations over four provinces in Eastern Canada. cranberry juice powder per kilogram of highest concentration also saw a high- cake, the treatment itself would be costly For several of those threats, early anti- feed could lower early chick mortality by est number of sudden death syndrome, for farmers.

However, the process is intermittent and the eggs are rather difficult to identify with traditional methods of assay. If the caboose of eggs does not rupture until it passes outside the horse, the tape- worm segment can be seen in the manure of the horse and resembles a small cucumber seed. Once on the ground, the manure is composted with the help of an oribatid and/or free living forage mite. However, if the mite also ingests a tapeworm egg, the egg will develop into the larval stage once inside the mite. When the larvae-carry- ing mite crawls up onto the grasses and is swallowed by a grazing horse, the tapeworm larvae will mature in the horse’s intestine within six to 10 weeks.

here are things you can do this fall to reduce your risk of T blackleg next spring — and the first step is to scout for it. “The more you can identify it, the more you’re going to know whether you’re successful at controlling it,” said Clint Jurke, agronomy director for the Canola Council of Canada. “When you know what’s killing your plants, you can make plans for it the next time you put canola in that field.” Blackleg became a trade issue between Canada and China in 2010, mainly because China does not yet have the blackleg pathogen in its own canola crop. The risk of spread- ing the disease from Canadian canola to Chinese is “fairly low,” but the “trade dispute between the two countries persists,” particu- larly since the levels of blackleg in Canada have been on the rise since 2010. Crop rotation and disease-resistant varieties are the best ways to manage blackleg in canola, said canola council agronomist “In the last round of trade negoti- Clint Jurke.

Ukraine 2018 winter grain acreage well underway Agriculture Ministry reports farmers there are close to two-thirds finished this crucial planting

REUTERS / KIEV

krainian farmers have sown 4.6 million hectares U of winter grains, 64 per cent of the expected 7.6 million hectares, the Agriculture Ministry said Oct. 5. Farmers have sown 4.3 million hectares of winter wheat, 251,000 hectares of winter barley and 118,000 hectares of rye, the min- istry said. The area under winter wheat was likely to total 6.1 million hectares, while the area of winter barley could reach 926,000 hect- ares, the ministry said. Winter wheat accounts for around 95 per cent of Ukraine’s total wheat area, while the share of winter barley reaches around 60 per cent. Last year, Ukrainian farm- ers sowed around eight million hectares of all winter grains. 2300 CHU The ministry said farmers had 00.1 Relative Maturity harvested 42.1 million tonnes of grain during the 2017 harvest, from 10.9 million hectares, with an average yield of 3.85 tonnes per 2375 CHU hectare. 00.3 Relative Maturity Ukraine has completed its har- vest of wheat, barley and other Higher pods mean higher yields. early grains and cereals.

Dawn gives way to day over grain bins near Pilot Mound the morning of October 11. A photo: LIS COLLINS The crops index fell 2.8 per cent in June to 122.8, compared to June 2016, a loss StatsCan attributed to grains and special crops. The grains index fell 4.7 per cent compared to the same month a year ago to 104.8 in keeping with a general down- ward trend that started in July 2016 when global grain stock- piles started to grow. However, the June decline was the smallest drop since November 2016, with weather concerns beginning to cast doubt on the North American crop for this year, StatsCan said. While the index was down compared to a year ago, it was up 2.04 per cent from May. The special crops index was at 148.2 for June compared to 210.7 in June 2016, a 30 per PROVEN cent decline, as world lentil and dry pea prices fell. Meanwhile, increases in the livestock industry helped offset overall farm price declines. The cattle and calf index climbed LEADER, 3.9 per cent in June compared to the same month a year ago. Overall, the livestock and animal products index was up 1.8 per cent. This follows gains LIKE YOU of one per cent made for May. May and June together now account for the first gains the livestock and animal parts index has made since StatsCan started reporting year-over- year data in October 2015. The increase was due mainly to higher cattle and hog prices, StatsCan said, but eggs and dairy also contributed. The hogs index was up 5.4 per cent in June 2017 com- pared to June 2016 on the heels of two months of declines. Strong export demand offset higher hog supplies.

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. You will receive a response, by email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received.
