They haven’t looked back since. “There was one year where it yielded the same as barley silage. Otherwise, it’s always yielded significantly better, at about 60 tonnes an acre better,” said Schmidt. “The inputs are probably 1-1/2 times more than barley silage, but you get quite a bit better returns per acre, and the feed value is quite a bit better.” Growing corn for silage or grazing is a “nice entry point” for producers who aren’t sure how corn will fit in their area, said Nicole Rasmussen, an agronomist with DuPont Pioneer. “The biggest growth for corn in Alberta is grazing and silage. That’s where we’ve seen a tremendous boom in growth,” Jared Wever, pictured with wife Megan and their three children, sees a bright future see CORN CONVERTS } page 6 for corn in Alberta.

Reporter’s Notebook There’s a lot to love about Sussex cattle — but try finding any Sussex cattle thrive in countries as diverse as England, South Africa, and Australia, but haven’t made it to Canada

BY ALEXIS KIENLEN AF STAFF

recently toured a South Afri- can farm that is home to the I country’s most highly valued Sussex bull — a beautiful stud that recently appeared on the cover of one of the nation’s leading agricultural publications. South Africa is in the worst drought in 100 years, so bad that cattle farmers in other provinces have had to sell some of their stock. But in the diverse agricultural region of the Western Cape, farmers graze on marginal lands, and cattle breeds such as Afrikan- ers, Angus, Nguni, and Sussex are thriving. Sussex do well in South Africa, both as purebred stock and crossbred. The cattle originated in Eng- land and can do well in Austra- lia, South Africa, and Namibia, flourishing in both hot and cold climates. But I’ve never seen a Sussex in Judging from the number of calls that one Alberta rancher receives about Sussex cattle, there a lot of producers who would like to have a purebred bull Canada. Why not? like the one reporter Alexis Kienlen saw in South Africa.

A major focus of that organization, which has projects in nearly 20 African countries, is “agriculture and livelihoods program- ming” — helping families to not only provide food for themselves but also to boost yields so they can generate an income from farming. The potential is certainly there, said de Jager. “How ironic could it be that the producers on this continent are some of the world’s most food-insecure people,” he said. South Africa is the only net food exporter on the continent, but in many cases, it is easier (and more profitable) to sell its agricultural goods to Europe, GET IT Australia, or North America. Less than three per cent of food and fibre sold within the continent is produced there.

Farm, ranch work still exempt from Alberta helmet rule

Farms and ranches exempt from OHS laws also remain exempt from the province’s new law requiring off-highway vehicle users to wear helmets while riding on public land. The new law, which took effect May 15, requires an approved helmet for anyone “driving, operating, riding in or on, or being towed by” an off-highway vehicle (such as ATVs, snowmobiles, and dirt bikes). Public land is any Crown land, other land not privately owned, and public roadways and highway rights-of-way. There’s a $155 fine for not wearing a helmet and a $93 penalty if the helmet isn’t CSA compliant or damaged. The province said the helmet rule doesn’t apply in the performance of “farming or ranching operations exempt from Alberta’s occupational health and safety laws.” Helmet use is still recommended for all off-highway vehicle users, even if they are exempt, the prov- GET IT ON ince said.

Native forages can weather whatever Mother Nature throws their way Long-lived native forages complement tame forages nicely — but they have their own merits that make them more competitive than their tame counterparts

ative forages are making a comeback with cattle N feeders who are looking for a way to work with — not against — Mother Nature. “Native species complement tame forages,” said federal research scientist Alan Iwaasa. “When used with tame species, native species have merit and can be used quite effectively if you have the land base in our grazing systems in Western Canada.” Native species make for “a more sustainable and resilient forage,” but are sometimes taken for granted, Iwaasa said during a Beef Cattle Research Council webinar. “The remaining western grass- lands for Canada is estimated to be only about 11.4 million hectares, compared to around 61.5 million hectares we used to have (in 1995),” he said, adding Alber- ta’s total grassland area is now about 5.6 million hectares. “A large majority of the grass- lands has been lost.” That loss is partly due to increased cropping, but also because of a rise in tame for- Native species are the Steady Eddies of forages — resilient and consistently able to contribute to performance even during ages.

Canadian wheat exports that include U.S. wheat must also be declared, which could prompt grain companies to segregate U.S. wheat, making it less attractive to Canadian elevators, U.S. officials claim. But MacAulay’s office says Amer- ican wheat can be purchased by Canadian grain companies and processors. “Canada’s grain-grading system does not prohibit U.S. producers from contracting with Canadian grain companies and receiving fair value for their product,” MacAu- lay’s office said in an email. “There is nothing in the current grain-handling system preventing U.S. producers from entering into contracts with grain-handling companies or processors located in Canada to get a fair price for the quality of product being delivered.” While Canada’s grain industry — including the Western Grain Elevators Association — agrees, the With the rise in sclerotinia across Western Canada, a better management industry says a change to accommo- solution couldn’t have come at a better time.
