The waiting game

“ ay the odds be forever in your favour” is a memorable quote M from the The Hunger Games, a popular book trilogy later made into movies. Although it is voiced as a cheery send- off into competition, the irony is that the child protagonists face unspeakably cruel odds, pitted against one another in a fight- to-the-finish match from which only one can emerge victorious. Without being too Laura Rance much of a spoiler, the main characters Editor win, not by following the rules, but by changing the game. It would appear that similar odds are in play this year in Manitoba, as farmers whose livelihoods are threatened by excess moisture and multiple flood events are caught in a waiting game — waiting to see if governments determine whether their losses qualify for additional assistance under AgriRecovery. We recall back in the days when the federal and provincial governments were negotiating the current suite of farm sup- port programs, that some noted the nuance between “pro- Say what? grams” and “frameworks.” AgriStability, AgriInvest, AgriInsurance are programs. The words used to describe tional misuse of words in agriculture abound. “AgriRecovery is not a program,” the AAFC website says. “It is For centuries “crop protection” meant fences to a framework which forms the basis by which federal, provin- agriculture matter keep livestock out of grain fields.

The Manitoba Co-operator | September 11, 2014 5 COMMENT/FEEDBACK Agriculture’s role in nutrient loss Ultimately, storing water on the land isn’t just about flood control, it’s about capitalizing on available nutrients as well

By Les McEwan

hecking the news feeds across my conservation agriculture C news, I see a common thread. Increased nutrient loads at Lake Erie, Chesapeake Bay, the ever-present “dead zone” of the Gulf of Mexico and calls for more action on the state of Lake Winnipeg. The human contribu- tions are relatively constant, albeit constantly increasing, so when things go south, the blame gets placed on agriculture. Superficially, it all seems very log- ical. When you look outside of the urban areas, the watersheds are pre- dominantly agricultural areas that are controlled by farming practices. If those landowners are in the business of draining, fertilizing and spreading manure on those lands, everyone is quick to assume that farming is the prime culprit. Fortunately in Manitoba we have the ongoing research projects con- tained within the Tobacco Creek Model Watershed that paint a slightly different picture. What researchers from AAFC, Environ- ment Canada, MAFRD and several universities have found is that the Don Cruikshanks, manager of the Deerwood Soil and Water Management Association, at a unique research site in the Pembina Hills where edge-of-field run-off is generally two watersheds meet. The location allows researchers to do comparative analysis of farm management practices related to water and quite low in nutrient loads. Have nutrient management.

Garden flourishes in recycled square bales You’ve heard of bale grazing. How about bale gardening?

By Joan Airey Co-operator contributor

eanne and Ed MacKay have found a new use for L old square bales. They’ve turned them into a garden. The couple lives and gar- dens near Lake Wahtopanah at Rivers, which first of all meant enclosing their garden area within a 12-foot-high fence to keep the deer from feasting on their produce. “When touring Winnipeg Conservatory I saw bales positioned in squares with compost piled in the mid- dle and vegetation growing in them,” Leanne said. She began to research the idea on the Internet and found a book by Joel Karsten on Straw Bale Gardens. Her neighbour was only too happy to give her bales that had been used to protect her trees over the winter. “They wanted to get rid of the bales and I needed bales to try out this idea, so I thought it was a win-win situation for both of us. I placed them strategically in the section of my garden that was covered with land- scape fabric,” she said. Leanne said anyone trying this idea needs to start early as the bales must be “condi- tioned” for 10 to 12 days prior Leanne MacKay standing beside potatoes she has growing in straw bales. photos: Joan Airey to planting. This involves placing the bales cut side up so they can absorb applica- tions of water and granular fertilizer. Lawn fertilizer that has at least 20 per cent nitrogen is required for conditioning bales — not the slow-release kind, she said. “To start conditioning the bale, you sprinkle half a cup of high-nitrogen fertilizer over the top surface of bale then water by hose until it disap- pears into the bale,” she said. “Second day water bale only and third day fertilizer and water; alternate this process on four to six days. “Days seven to nine you add a quarter-cup of fertilizer and water. Day 10 use one cup of 10-10-10,” said Leanne, not- ing she recommends anyone planning to try it, to download the book.
