Increasing your farming options

ven in June, you could feel a drought in the making as we E tramped across the bone-dry pad- docks of Doug Wray’s ranch north of Calgary. Far from the lush, succulent feel of the pastures here in Manitoba, the grasses there rustled and crunched underfoot. Conditions haven’t improved — in fact, the situation out west has worsened over Laura Rance the past month. Editor But Wray, who chairs the board for the Canadian Forage and Grassland Association, was sanguine about the situation on his ranch. While the health and well-being of his cattle herd is important to him, that’s not the key asset he is concerned about. For him, it’s all about the soil. That sounds odd coming from a cattle producer. Farming folklore is rife with tales of epic conflicts between the dirt farmers and ranchers. But Wray describes how his view of his place on the land has changed. Greek democracy and in-your-face trading “We started out raising cattle, then we realized that if we get the grass right, it will take care of the cattle,” he says. “Now forged in the hungry decade it endured after we’ve come to where if we look after the soil, it will look after by Alan Guebert the Second World War. the grass.” Almost 60 years later, that six-nation Wray is among a growing number of cattle producers who t’s an almost poetic coincidence that Common Market is now the 28-nation rely on swath and bale grazing to carry their herds through the the day after Greek voters loudly told European Union and Common Agricultural Prairie winters.

WILD BOAR Continued from page 1 much had feral populations since then,” Kost said. Canada has only dealt with wild boars since the 1990s fol- lowing a failed attempt at diver- sifying livestock operations in the western provinces. “They were able to escape the pens, and in some cases the farmers would actually let them go, because it wasn’t a really lucrative business. So that’s how our wild boar population got started,” she said. But without management, both researchers said it would be possible for Canada’s feral pig population to continue to grow. “I think it’s certainly some- thing we need to keep an eye on,” said Manitoba’s chief vet- Helicopters were used to track and capture wild boars so they could be fitted with GPS collars, which provide data via satellite twice a day.

Carriers of disease Ryan Brook Wild pigs can also play host to dozens of viral and bacte- rial disease, although there has been no documented cases of domestic swine being infected as a result of contact with wild boars. “My concerns would likely be around the outdoor-housed pigs we have in Manitoba, Wild boars are caught on trail camera during the night. because there is a higher potential risk of contact in those cases,” said Bergman. “From a commercial perspec- tive, because of the high level of biosecurity we have, we are likely not at anywhere near the same risk level, but certainly there is always a concern.” Even greater than the risk to biosecurity is the risk to the environment and agricultural crops. “They cause extreme dam- age,” said Brook. “Not only do they feed a lot, but unlike other animals, a white-tailed deer for example, boars are a rooting species, so it doesn’t look like an animal has just come and fed… boars will knock all the corn down, rip up all the roots and it will look like a Rototiller went through.” But because feral pigs are largely nocturnal feeders, farm- ers and landowners may be left Captured wild boar is held down while being fitted with GPS tracking collar.

Antimicrobial resistance means big changes coming An alarming rise in resistance even has drug companies calling for producers to change their ways

By JENNIFER BLAIR Staff / Calgary

ulti-drug resistance to disease-causing bac- M teria is quickly becom- ing a complete “game changer” that could cripple the cattle industry’s ability to manage common bovine diseases. “We are really slamming into the end of the antibiotic era,” said Dr. Trisha Dowling, a pro- fessor of veterinary pharmacol- ogy at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. “I’ve got 24 different drugs for the treatment of bovine res- piratory disease, and it’s still the most economically signifi- cant disease problem when it comes to producing a pound of ground beef. “The wimps, like bovine respiratory disease, they ain’t wimpy no more.” In a recent study done at Kansas State, researchers found an increase in multi- drug resistance in one of the bacteria — Mannheimia haemolytica — that causes bovine respiratory disease in feedlot cattle. “Those Mannheimia isolates are showing resistance across the spectrum of antibiotics we use in cattle,” said Dowling, who spoke at the UCVM Beef Cattle Conference in mid-June. “In 2009, it was only five per cent. In 2011, it was 35 per cent. Now, it’s 70 per cent.” Her warning was echoed by a senior official with the world’s largest producer of medicine and vaccinations for livestock and pets. Widespread antibiotic use reduced disease levels in herds but also sent resistance levels soaring.

Say ‘cheese’ for a food science experience at home

“ om, I want to learn to make cheese,” my 17-year-old daughter said. M “Cheese?” I responded, wanting to be sure I heard her correctly. “I love cheese. I think it would be a good 4-H project,” she replied. She certainly knows how to get my attention and mentoring. I hadn’t made cheese since I taught basic food science classes when I was a graduate student. We found directions and she began the process. I served as the coach on the side- lines, but I also led the ingredient-purchasing mission. She needed a gallon of pasteurized milk, cit- ric acid (available from the canning section of the grocery store), salt, a large stainless steel pot, a thermometer and the most important ingredient, rennet. I had to do some research to figure out where to purchase rennet locally. I found it on a website, but we needed it right away. I checked the puddings and gelatins section in a few stores and asked a couple of grocery store clerks, who responded with confused looks. I finally traced rennet to possibly the one place in our city where it was available.

Co-operator barn series revival Do you know this barn?

f you do, a Manitoba historian wants to hear from you. In early 1981 the Co-operator worked with provincial Manitoba Historic I Resources Branch staff to photograph and publish a series on rural buildings in Manitoba. Each week a photo and a story were published about why each of the buildings were rare or unusual. Now Gordon Goldsborough, webmaster and journal editor with the Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is looking for Co-operator readers’ help to relocate these barns. He has looked for them during road trips in rural Manitoba, but because the site’s location details are scant, he has been unable to find them. He wants to include the buildings, with their GPS co-ordinates on a map of historic sites being prepared for the MHS.

This photograph was taken by now-retired Co-operator editor Bob Hainstock who took the photo in the 1980s for the earlier project. Many of the photos were eventually included in Hainstock’s 1986 book Barns of Western Canada: An Illustrated Century.

Ag in Motion is being held on a half-section of typical Saskatchewan grain and oilseed farm- land about 32 km north- Ag in Motion lets you feel the earth move with numerous in-field demonstrations. Ag in Motion takes place July 21 - 23, 16 km northwest of Saskatoon. west of Saskatoon on photo: canada’s outdoor farm show Highway 16. Visitors will be able to see crop plot demonstrations by a variety of local and inter- national companies as well as by the University of Saskatchewan and the Prairie Agricultural Ma c h i n e r y In s t i t u t e (PAMI). There are also 100 a c r e s d e d i c a t e d t o equipment demonstra- tions and test drives, and some companies are also arranging bus tours of farmers to take them in. It’s an oppor- tunity to see equipment working before choosing which one you need to purchase for your opera- tion. Thanks to the mem- bers of the Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada, Farm Equipment Manu- facturers Association, Ku b o t a Ca n a d a a n d Buhler Versatile for their early support for the equipment demonstra- tion program.

I would like to thank the staff and volunteers for helping plan and implement this very first Ag in Motion.
