It’s not just what you plant. It’s how you care for it.

You already know there’s a need for safety on any farm. But there’s knowing, and then there’s doing... especially since you aren’t the only one who works at or visits your farm.

Family members, farm workers, contract workers, suppliers… not everyone will know the rules and responsibilities at your farm.

Agrium profit hit by cold spring But demand is expected to pick up

Creported a fall in quar- terly profit due to an unu- sually cold spring in North America, but said it expected strong demand for crop inputs for the rest of the year. Unseasonably cool weather in the U.S. Midwest this spring compressed the usual time period for farmers to apply fertilizer to their fields. “We expect solid demand for crop inputs in the sec- ond half of 2013 given posi- tive grower sentiment, strong nutrient removal this year and the affordability of crop nutri- ents,” chief executive Mike Wilson said in a statement. Net earnings for the sec- ond quarter fell 13 per cent to $747 million, or $5.02 per share, from $5.44 per share a year ago, in line with the range given in a previous company forecast. Agrium, which is also North America’s biggest farm retail supplier, said its adjusted earnings per share were $736 million or $4.94 per share, matching the average expecta- tion by analysts.

By Daniel Winters co-operator staff / oak lake

nderneath a cloudy sky on a still, humid morning in July, Leah Lees and Rhoda Canning are busy battling Upotato bugs when a young helper makes a plea for mosquito repellent. Lees and Canning don’t stop squashing, but there is some laughter as they debate the philosophical contradictions of using skin-applied chemical repellents in an organic garden. The Food for the Future community garden project is well into its second growing season, and apart from the recent invasion of Colorado potato beetles, the various vegetable crops are coming along nicely on the plot of land next to the town curling rink owned by the Oak Lake Agricultural Society. Paul Chorney, who helps co-ordinate from the Manitoba Alternative Food Research Alliance, which has sponsored the garden project, arrives and Lees gives him a tour and update. The federally funded alliance is a partnership of 12 dif- ferent colleges and universities and 50 different commu- nity groups promoting sustainable, local and “just” food production. The Oak Lake garden is a demonstration of the “pas- sion, energy and enthusiasm” of communities and the importances of “local champions” for such initiatives, said Chorney.

“Leah is clearly a champion, and champions are the key, in my view, to small projects like this because they draw people to them and share that enthusiasm.”

Paul Chorney

“Leah is clearly a champion, and champions are the key, in my view, to small projects like this because they draw people to them and share that enthusiasm,” he said. The alliance has sponsored about 30 similar rural and urban projects around the province, ranging from small gar- dens to greenhouses, as well as academic studies and even an effort to create a market for discarded Lake Winnipeg whitefish. One of its goals is to promote the idea of food justice, a concept that is often misinterpreted as meaning people have a right to food “for free,” he said. “It’s saying that people have a right to food, but it’s also saying that there should be justice for farmers too in that they should earn a decent income,” said Chorney. Community projects like the one in Oak Lake are valu- able because they provide examples of local empowerment, awareness of food security issues, and educating youth about food production, he added. Lees and Canning, for their part, are hoping “to work our- selves out of a job.” “Obviously, we are committed to the project, but we’d like to see it become something that people from the community take hold of and say, ‘Hey, let’s grow more food,’” said Lees. To that end, they have formed a six-customer Community Supported Agriculture venture to generate funds for a small, stand-alone irrigation system, seed purchases, and cash incentives for the children who help with weeding. “We’ve lost a few kids, but we’ve also gained some new ones,” she said. The new crew of 10 helpers is quite a bit younger than last year’s, and the garden has gained a new “Grandma” who likes to come and help with the weed- ing. The plot is larger this year and a separate community garden tended by three local families has been added. However, a bid to add chickens was unsuccessful as some Food for the Future co-founder Leah Lees shows MAFRA co-coordinator Paul Chorney around on his first visit to the community residents feared that might attract coyotes. garden project. photo: Daniel Winters [email protected] The Manitoba Co-operator | August 15, 2013 23 COUNTRY CROSSROADS

Zucchini Hummus

I’ve often made a version of this using a grilled eggplant. This recipe started appearing on all sorts of websites last summer. It’s a great way to use up plentiful zucchini — and all the other raw vegetables you’ll want to dip into this very tasty spread. This is also a very good spread on sandwiches. 1 medium-size zucchini, peeled and chopped 1 tbsp. lemon juice 1/4 c. tahini 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (plus extra for garnish) 1 tsp. cumin 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper 3 cloves garlic, minced Paprika Brush the zucchini with oil and place on the lower rack of the oven and broil until lightly browned and just starting to become ten- der. Remove and trim ends, then slice in half lengthwise. Scrape out the larger seeds. Place the zucchini cut side up in a lightly oiled skil- let and cook at a low heat until tender (about 10 minutes). Cool then purée in a food processor until smooth, adding tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Serve garnished with paprika. PHOTO: DAIRY FARMERS OF CANADA
