By Terri EgerFarmers have always need to

monitor their land and crops to determine growth, health and ma-turity. While that has not changed, technology is making this job easier and more precise.

Blair Fleischhacker, Cor-porate Parts Manager of Farm World in Humboldt explained that drones are changing the way farmers gather information.

A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle used in crop scouting and is similar to a mini helicopter.

“A farmer is able to stand at the side of the road and the drone will fly a preplanned flight over the crop taking pic-tures and come back and land,” said Fleischhacker. In a 15 minute fl ight the drone will cover an en-tire quarter section taking 150 – 250 photos which can then be loaded into a computer for analysis.

“With the drone we are able to get real time data and pictures of how the crop is doing,” he said.

Fleischhacker explained that farmers are finding many different ways to use the technology to their advantage. In the spring, detailed photos can determine the initial seed growth. Crops can be monitored to deter-mine if there are stress spots from insects and disease.

“There are two types of cameras on the drone including a regular camera and an infrared camera which will show the photosynthe-sis and therefore the health of the plant,” said Fleischhacker.

The infrared photos are colour coded where green images refl ect a healthy plant, yellow areas show plants that are under some stress and red warns of severely stressed

plants.“The technology lets the farmer

see things that they wouldn’t be able to see with the naked eye,” he said.

“It’s a valuable tool in planning.

It will show that certain areas are not getting enough fertilizer for example.” In the case of insects, farmers can view the entire fi eld and determine when the proper time to spray is.

As the crops progress, the drone is used to determine the maturity of the crop so the farmer knows when to begin harvest.

“Looking from the road will give you one view of the fi eld, but with the drone you can see the entire fi eld and see exactly how mature it really is and if it’s ready to combine.”

Fleischhacker has customers who are monitoring their crops

each week. In 15 minutes the drone will cover a quarter section of land taking photos every fi ve seconds for a total of 150 – 250 pictures. The pictures are saved on an SD card similar to a digi-

tal camera and are then loaded onto a laptop that comes with the device. Software stitches the individual photos together to form one complete picture much like a jigsaw puzzle.

“It takes about 15 – 20 minutes to process and the fi nished picture looks like something you see on Google Maps,” explained Fleis-chhacker. “It creates a full map

of your fi eld.”Drones have additional uses in

winter for monitoring livestock. Thermal sensors are available so farmers can check on the health of their herd without disturbing

them. During the upcom-ing cold season Fleis-chhacker will be working on how the drone can test snow density and other ways it can be used to collect data for the next growing season.

“It allows farmers to be more proactive and less reactive,” he said. “It al-lows them to make deci-sions based on real time data to make their opera-tions more profi table.”

Farm World is the one and only drone dealer in Canada with product coming from a company near Indianapolis, Indi-ana.

“They developed the technology because they

wanted to scout their own fields,” Fleischhacker said. As farmers , the owners of Preci-sion Drone know fi rst-hand what their customers are look-ing for and the data they want to col-lect.

The comple te drone kit runs for $20,000 and in-

cludes a hexa-copter with six propellers; lifetime protective case; a hand-held controller; live view monitor so the operator can see exactly what the drone is see-ing; regular and infrared cameras; batteries; a laptop and software.

“It’s the next step in precision farming,” said Fleischhacker. “It’s pretty exciting what’s coming out.”

By Terri EgerAnimal Health Week is a

national public awareness cam-paign organized by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and hosted by veterinarians across Canada. Each year, during the fi rst week of October, veteri-narians and veterinary hospitals across Canada promote animal

health and responsible animal ownership as part the of the Ani-mal Health Week celebrations.

During Animal Health Week, many veterinary hospitals across Canada host open houses, hold photo contests, offer clinic tours and organize various other events.

The Canadian Veterinary Med-

ical Association is highlighting antimicrobial stewardship during the designated week this year.

The World Health Organisa-tion (WHO) recently announced the release of a new report called “Antimicrobial Resistance Glob-al Report on Surveillance”. The report provides a comprehensive overview of antibiotic resistance to date, with data from 114 countries including Canada. Ac-cording to WHO, antimicrobial resistance is now a major threat to public health in every region of the world.

The veter i -nary community recognizes that the continued use of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine is d e p e n d e n t upon the profes-sion’s ability to use antimicro-bial products judic iously, s t r i k i n g a balance be-tween maxi-mizing ani-mal health and wel-fare, while

preserving antimicrobial effi cacy and protecting public health. That’s why antimicrobial stew-ardship has been made a priority issue for the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA).

The CVMA believes a com-prehensive strategy that includes agriculture, veterinary medicine and human medicine must be developed to address growing concerns surrounding antimicro-bial resistance.

Animal owners should know that veterinarians are respon-sible stewards of the important medications that keep animals

and humans healthy. Antibiot-ics are life-saving drugs, but their

use must be appropri-ate in order to preserve the

effectiveness of these drugs. Not all illnesses require an antibiotic prescription

– testing may be required in order for a veterinarian to determine whether or not an antibiotic is required. Anti-biotics should be adminis-tered exactly as prescribed by a veterinarian. Healthy

a n i - mals can better fi ght off poten-tial illnesses. A

healthy lifestyle includes regu-lar veterinary visits, vaccina-tions, parasite prevention, ex-ercise and good

nutrition.

Lyle StewartMinister of AgricultureIt has been a successful and

a trying fi rst half of the year for many of Saskatchewan’s agricul-ture producers.

This spring we saw the success-ful roll out of the Western Live-stock Price Insurance Program, a program that allows cattle and hog producers to manage unex-pected price declines. Enroll-ment surpassed our expectations and I hope more producers will consider enrolling in the future.

Another bright spot is cattle and hog prices. After years of low prices, it is encouraging to see profi tability return to the live-stock sector. Prices are expected to remain strong leading into the fall calf run.

The year, however, has not been without it challenges in-cluding grain transportation and weather issues.

This past winter we saw signifi -cant grain transportation issues. In order to protect Saskatchewan’s reputation as a world-class sup-plier of agricultural exports – it is crucial that we have a sound and reliable transportation system. We need a transportation system with accountability throughout

the system – from farmer, to ship-pers, to railways to port.

The Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act (Bill C-30) was passed in the spring and the accompanying regulations were announced on August 1, 2014. They are a good fi rst step in improving the transparency and accountability of the grain transportation sys-tem. However we asked for the regulations to ensure the rail-ways service all shippers in all corridors to all customers. In the regulations announced Aug 1st there is no such provision, but there were requirements for in-creased reporting of grain move-ment data. We encourage the federal government to continue to monitor this closely and take action immediately if railways are not servicing a particular part of the grain handling system (e.g. shortline railways or producer car loading facilities).

This summer the eastern side of the province received excess amounts of rain which has caused hardship for farmers, ranchers and many residents across the region. Based on estimates from our crop reporters and Saskatchewan Crop Insurance, approximately 2 to 3 million acres have been fl ooded

and are unlikely to produce a crop. Yield-loss coverage is avail-able for all crops insured through Saskatchewan Crop Insurance.

In closing, I would like to thank

all our farmers and ranchers for all that you do for your communi-ties and the agriculture industry.

I wish you all the best during the harvest season.

Agriculture is big businessAgriculture is the root of Saskatch-

ewan’s economy and accounts for over one-third of the province’s total exports. We have over 40 per cent of Canada’s farmland total-ing more than 60 million acres. Approximately 33 million acres of agricultural land is used for crop production each year.

Wholesome rootsSaskatchewan is known world-

wide as a consistent and reliable supplier of safe, high-quality grains, oilseeds, pulses and livestock. In 2013, we produced:

• 99 per cent of Canada’s chick-peas

• 96 per cent of Canada’s lentils• 87 per cent of Canada’s durum

wheat• 82 per cent of Canada’s fl axseed• 76 per cent of Canada’s mustard• 64 per cent of Canada’s dry peas• 50 per cent of Canada’s canolaFeeding the worldSaskatchewan exports more than

$1 billion in each of the four key product sectors: cereal grains (wheat, oats, rye and barley), oil-seeds (canola and fl ax), pulses (peas and lentils) and edible oils (canola). In 2013, Saskatchewan was respon-sible for:

• 65 per cent of the world’s lentil exports

• 54 per cent of the world’s pea exports

• 32 per cent of the world’s fl ax-seed exports

• 34 per cent of the world’s durum exports

• 16 per cent of the world’s canola seed exports

• 27 per cent of the world’s mus-tard seed exports

• 17 per cent of the world’s canola oil exports

In 2013, Saskatchewan was also the leading Canadian exporter of 11 agri-food products:

• Canola Seed - $2.06 billion• Lentils - $1.15 billion• Canola Oil - $1.46 million• Pea - $1.11 million• Durum - $1.28 billion• Canola Meal - $686 million• Flaxseed - $297 million• Oats - $248 million• Canary Seed - $86 million• Mustard Seed - $72 million• Chickpeas - $30 millionBuilding on our strengths - mov-

ing crops to the next levelThe Ministry of Agriculture col-

laborates with industry organiza-tions, producers and research insti-tutions to increase competitiveness, production, new crop development, product development and value-added processing in Saskatchewan’s crop sectors with the goal of increas-ing overall profi tability throughout the value chain.

This includes introducing new crops, increasing returns on existing crops, and adding value through processing opportunities:

• Camelina - it’s estimated that camelina production will reach 100,000 acres by 2015, with a value of $16.8 million. Cameli-na bio-based products include fi sh feed, bio-lubricants, healthy

oils and jet fuel.• Vegetables - there’s a potential

for high-value vegetables like onions and small potatoes, par-ticularly for irrigation farmers (net return $3,000 to $5,000 per acre). Saskatchewan has the growing conditions, land and water resources, minimal pest pressure and expertise neces-sary for growing high-quality vegetables.

• Wheat - wheat has been the cornerstone of Saskatchewan agriculture since farming began in the province. Varietal devel-opment, through the stacking of traits to create superior varieties is needed to ensure that this crop can compete with other crop types and is profi table for growers.

• Honey - honey producers in the province are getting the help they need to keep their colonies healthy and the honey production per hive the highest in Canada. Research to develop best management practices to control mites and reduce win-ter mortality in honey bees in underway.

• Fruit processing - Saskatchewan growers produce approximately fi ve million pounds of fruit per year on 2,000 acres with strong potential to increase acreage with the expansion of irrigation districts and agri-tourism.

Global MarketsThe agriculture industry in Sas-

katchewan is the most diversifi ed in-dustry sector in Canada with $11.7 billion in export sales in 2013. More than $100 million worth of agri-cultural products were exported to each of the following 16 countries last year:

United States; China; Japan; Mexico; India; Bangladesh; United Arab Emirates; Italy; Belgium; Tur-key; Venezuela; Algeria; Colombia; Peru; Morocco; Indonesia;

Wide-open spacesSaskatchewan has over six mil-

lion hectares of pastureland and large quantities of high-quality feed, making it an ideal place for livestock development. Saskatchewan has 1.2 million beef cows, or just under 30 per cent of the Canadian beef cow herd, making it the second-largest beef-producing province in Canada.

In 2013:• Saskatchewan’s total cattle and

calf receipts were just over $1.2 billion.

• Saskatchewan’s hog industry generated more than $288 mil-lion.

• Saskatchewan had approximate-ly one third of the Canadian bison herd.

Research and developmentThe Government of Saskatchewan

supports the creation of a knowl-edge-based economy. The Ministry of Agriculture invests in progressive and relevant research, innovation and commercialization to benefi t the agriculture sector.

Saskatchewan is home to 30 per cent of Canada’s agricultural bio-technology, providing expertise in biofuels, bioproducts, crop research and nutrition, and health and well-ness. There are more than 700 sci-entists working in 30 private, public and academic facilities, including the following facilities:

• The University of Saskatchewan, which is also home to:

- Western College of Veteri-nary Medicine

- College of Agriculture and Bioresources

Slow Start to HarvestSlow Start to HarvestBy Terri EgerCooler temperatures and wet

conditions for much of the grow-ing season has resulted in a late harvest this year according to Ivan Beuker of Birch Rose Acres seed farm located at Star City.

With harvest beginning later than usual, Beuker was still wait-ing for things to pick up in his seed business in the middle of September.

“There hasn’t been a lot of crop taken off yet,” he said.

From what he was hear-ing it

seemed that the canola yields were below average this year while wheat and barley appeared to be reaching average yields.

“It’s hard to know until you have it in the bin,” he said.

He reported that it would be a few weeks before there was any news on clover or alfalfa.

Birch Rose Acres has been in business for more than 30 years and specializes in custom seed cleaning with a focus on forage

seeds that include clovers, grasses and alfalfa.

By Terri EgerWet conditions are affecting the harvest in

the Humboldt area where Kim Stoltz farms.“We have had one quarter section of peas

that were written off,” he said. While part of the fi eld was laying in water, other parts were too wet to treat and caught disease.

As an example of the amount of moisture farmers in the area have been dealing with this season Stoltz reported that fi ve and a half

inches of rain fell in three days. An abundance of rain and the absence of heat have been a common theme for much of the area this year, affecting crops and delaying harvest.

When he was interviewed September 16, Stoltz reported that harvest was just getting underway.

Stoltz said that the canola that has been taken off has tested “a little tough” as has the fl ax and oats.

“The crops are desiccated,” he said.Even on the crops that the farmers have been

able to get off, yields aren’t high this year.“A second quarter of peas came off at 15

bushels to the acre while the wheat and canola were close to 40 bushels to the acre,” he said.

With weather warming up last week and no rain in the forecast, Stoltz was on his way to the fi eld.

“We are just getting going,” he said. “The weather is supposed to be good this week and we’re hoping for the best.”

WHEELERS WHOLESALE


By Terri EgerBrett Casavant who farms

12,000 acres southwest of Tisdale said he was stating the obvious when he said harvest was going very slow. Crops in the area have been slow to mature and with suitable weather being limited, even the days when the combine is running, it’s not running for long.

“There hasn’t been a lot of fa-vourable weather,” he said.

Casavant grows wheat, canola and fava beans and reported that they are still waiting for the canola to mature enough to be straight cut.

“We straight cut our wheat and it’s tough,” he said of the 1600 acres they have processed so far.

“Yields for the wheat are aver-age at best.”

Last week he was under the impression that the canola would

be below average but said without having any of it combined yet he was still guessing.

The entire growing season has been less than optimal for crop growth as there hasn’t been much heat.

“The crop is late. It never ma-tured,” he said. “We need some warm weather to mature it now.” Although he said that a lot of farmers in the area are taking the crop off when it is tough and dry-ing it just to get it off the fi eld.

“We’ll be bagging tough grain and drying it in the winter,” he said.

Casavant said he has been lucky at his farm in that they haven’t had any heavy rains.

“We haven’t had any adverse weather,” he said. “We haven’t had any heavy rains and would only get one or two tenths of an inch at a time. But that’s slowing

us down now.”Mixed weather last week meant

the combine was running incon-sistently for Casavant.

“We had a day where we were going at 10 am and didn’t stop un-til 8 pm when it got tough at dark and the straw was hard to deal with,” he said. “But then we had two days where we could only combine for two hours because it was so damp in the morning, it was overcast and the humidity was high.”

“At best we are 15 percent done,” he said. “We have a lot of harvest ahead of us.”

Casavant said yields are down this year as is the quality of the crops coming off. Still, he’s thankful his crops aren’t fl ooded like they are in other parts of the province and that he didn’t get any snow like they did in Alberta recently.

“We’re hoping for the weather to warm up and then I’m sure we’ll get it done.”

Slow harvest leads to under matured cropsSlow harvest leads to under matured crops

By Terri EgerMark Slade is looking on the bright side when

it comes to his crop this year. Located 14 miles south and three miles east of Tisdale, Slade grows primarily wheat and canola and added in fl ax and barley this season.

“The crop’s not bad but it hasn’t come dry yet,” he said.

A lack of warm, dry weather is slowing the progress of harvest on top of a late spring and less than optimal growing season.

“The quality is fi ne so far but the yields are below average,” said Slade referring to the bar-

ley, wheat and canola he has already processed.Drowned out areas of his land due to heavy

rains in the spring are affecting the overall aver-age for Slade’s crop.

“We had seven or eight inches of rain in one week this spring so we have patches that are drowned out which is bringing our yields down,” he said. “There are a lot of drowned out areas but the crop that is there is pretty good.”

Slade commented that he is currently sit-ting around crop insurance values which isn’t optimal.

“I’ve seen better but I’ve seen worse,” said

the 57-year-old farmer. “Personally, I’m not too sad with our crop,”

he said. “If the commodity prices were a little better we’d be in better shape.”

Slade reported that he is combining his grain while it is still slightly tough and getting it into aeration bins in an effort to get the job done.

“We keep getting these little showers every other night that are slowing us down a bit,” he said.

However, the weather forecast predicting warm, dry weather made Slade hopeful.

“It’ll change, it always does.”

The Global Al-liance For Rabies Control has or-ganized World Rabies Day as September 28 in an effort to bring awareness to this preventable dis-ease.

According to the organization, “at least one per-son dies every 10 minutes from ra-bies which leaves him or her beg-ging for the end.”

“Up to 60% of the estimated 55,000 people are children un-der 15 years old with 95% of victims from Africa or Asia, where few have access to pal-liative care that would alleviate the suffering of their fi nal hours.”

Rabies is a disease of the nervous system caused by a virus which infects the brain and ultimately causes death according to information provided by the Government of Saskatchewan.

Affecting warm-blooded animals, rabies is most commonly found in foxes, skunks, bats, cattle, horses, dogs and cats but can also affect humans. In Saskatchewan, rabies

is most often diagnosed in skunks.Rabies is spread when an infected animal

bites a victim and its teeth penetrate the skin or when the saliva or other potentially infec-tious material (brain tissue) of an infected animal comes into contact with scratches, abrasions, cuts or mucous membranes such as mouth, nose or eyes of an individual or animal.

It can be weeks or months before rabies symptoms begin to show. This can vary de-pending on the type of species and location of the wound. The fi rst symptoms of rabies

are similar to any fl u-like illness. An individual may experience fe-ver, headache, or general discom-fort. Within days, the symptoms can progress to anxiety, confu-sion, abnormal behaviour, hydro-phobia and hal-lucinations. Once symptoms ap-pear, the disease is almost always fatal. Therefore, any person who has been exposed to a potentially r a b i d a n i m a l

should see a physician as soon as possible.Animal symptoms of rabies may not be

easily recognizable, however, you should be suspicious if an animal behaves in either an unusually sluggish or aggressive manner; attacks a person or another animal without reason; appears to have diffi culty swallowing (causing drooling or foaming at the mouth); has a decreased appetite or refuses to eat; or becomes partly or entirely paralyzed mean-ing it may have diffi culty moving all or parts of its body.

Continued from page 14There are several ways to protect

yourself and your animals from ra-bies. Have your pet vaccinated regu-larly; keep your pets on a leash; use caution when approaching animals that don’t know you, even when they are accompanied by their owner; don’t go near or touch stray animals; don’t’ leave garbage outside as it at-tracts stray and wild animals; do not handle sick or dead wild animals without using protective gloves; identify and cover locations such as chimneys and windows where wildlife including bats could enter your home; call a veterinarian if you notice unusual animal behaviour or if your pet is bitten by a wild animal.

If you suspect that someone has been exposed to rabies fl ush the wound immediately with copious amounts of soap and water. The exposed person should see a doc-tor as soon as possible. The doctor will consult with a public health offi cial to determine if preventative treatment is necessary. If possible, owners should confi ne their pet and observe it for changes in behaviour. If it is a wild animal, contact a con-servation offi cer for assistance.

If your animal bites someone do not destroy the animal. Speak with a public health offi cial if your animal has been involved in a bit-

ing incident. If you have not heard from a public health offi cial within 24 hours, contact your local health offi ce to report the incident. The main objective in monitoring ani-mals is to ensure the person who was exposed receives appropriate care. The incident will be investigated and the level of risk of rabies for the ani-mal will be determined by a public health offi cial and/or a veterinarian. Dogs, cats and ferrets must be iso-lated (not allowed to run at large) and observed for 10 days after biting a human. During observation you must monitor the animal for abnor-mal behaviours. If the animal is well after the isolation it may be released. Care should be taken to prevent contact with non-household people and other animals while the animal is under observation and until rabies is ruled out. If you are not able to observe your animal contact your lo-cal veterinarian or animal hospital to make arrangements. There may be a charge for this service. If the animal has been destroyed, testing for rabies is required so that appropriate care of the exposed person can occur. Do not dispose of the animal’s body un-til you have spoken to Public Health. Owners are asked to cooperate in providing details on the health of their animal to public health offi cials following an exposure.

Animals are only able to transmit rabies virus through their saliva in the late stages if the disease. We know that if a cat, dog or ferret re-mains healthy 10 days after the bite, there was no rabies virus in the saliva at the time of the exposure.

Public health offi cials investigate all human exposures to determine if there is a risk of rabies from the incident and to reduce the risk of others being exposed to the animal. The goal is to assist the family in maintaining the health of the animal while preventing further exposures

to the animal during the observation period. Public Health offi cials will ask about: the events of and leading up to and during the incident; the vaccination history of the animal; other details that may help with the risk assessment; other people who may have been exposed to the animal and will investigate each exposure to determine if rabies im-munizations are necessary in other situations. If rabies cannot be ruled out, the exposed person requires a series of immunizations over 3-4 weeks.

By Terri EgerThere has been a slow start to

harvest this year after a less than perfect growing season.

Ervine Derbowka farms seven and a half miles northwest of Ridgedale and reported that har-vest was just getting started when he was interviewed on September 10. Derbowka has a variety of crops to bring in this year includ-ing wheat, oats, canola, barley, hemp and quinoa

“We are just getting going and some of the crops are good but some are terrible,” he said.

While the land is now dry enough to drive on, he has had several crops which have been drowned out this year.

“On top of the wet conditions, the possibility of frost damage to the canola is also there,” he said. “That means a drop in yield and grade.”

The farmer had taken off one half section of oats between rain spells recently which ran a 41.5 pound test weight. Wheat and canola were just coming off the fi eld and had yet to be tested.

Derbowka reported that it would be quite some time before

the hemp was ready to harvest. His big concern was the weather, as cold nights and the possibility of frost were looming recently.

“Quinoa doesn’t mind the frost so it’s ok for a while,” he ex-plained. “It will take two to three degrees below freezing.”

With cool nights and lots of dew the crops were in need of warm, dry weather which arrived last week.

“The wheat is ready to go and just needs to dry out a bit. The canola and barley are nearly ready,” he said.

“If the weather will cooperate and we get a bit of wind that would help dry things out,” said Derbowka. He mentioned that there is always someone who has it worse and was happy he wasn’t farming in Alberta where snow covered the crops near Calgary recently.

Saluting OurFarmers!

By Terri EgerDryers are running full speed on farms in

the Tisdale area and Wally Greif’s farm is no exception.

“It’s a grind to get everything off and we’re drying everything,” said Greif who grows peas, wheat and canola southeast of Tisdale.

He reported that the canola is barely dry and all of the wheat has to be dried.

“We put the peas in aeration bins because they were a little bit tough,” he said.

Harvest is slow this year due to late maturing crops and a lack of warm weather.

“We’re not getting much done through the day because it’s so damp,” he said. “We’ll get one or two nice days and then it’s back to rain. We haven’t had much rain but a little drizzle here and there is just enough to slow you down.”

However, he said the weather was expected to turn warm into this week and he was hopeful he’d be able to make some progress.

Greif’s concern is that crops aren’t improving by staying out in the fi eld.

“The quality of the wheat is pour and the lon-ger it stays out there the worse it gets,” he said.

“Some wind and sunshine would bring it along.”

He reported that his peas and canola are down in terms of yield and the wheat is slightly below average yield as well.

“There are crops around that aren’t even ma-ture yet and they aren’t even ready to harvest,” he said. “You can see it all around. Driers are going everywhere.”

Greif estimates that he has two to three weeks’ worth of combining yet to do and is hopeful the warm weather will hold so he is able to get the grain in the bin.

By Terri EgerPoor weather has meant for

a delayed harvest and sub-par crops this year across the prai-ries and Curtis Bowditch who farms near Tisdale said the story is much the same for him.

“Below average temperatures and abnormally wet conditions have made for less than average crop yields,” he said.

Wet conditions throughout the growing season have been a huge challenge this year. Canola in the area had either been flooded or succumbed to weeds when the ground was too wet to even put on treat-ments.

When he was interviewed September 10, the land was dry enough to drive on and harvest was just beginning.

“The commodities are not at the quality they should be,” he said. “Cereal crops have good or better than average yields but the quality is down and the protein is down.”

Bowditch was thankful that the land was drying out and

was hopeful that the weather forecast for sunshine would hold true.

“We need some sunlight to cure the crops and bring the moisture levels down,” he said. “We are a little concerned, but I think it will come off.”

“There are lots of guys go-ing already,” said Bowditch on September 10. “They are combining it tough and drying it just to get it off.”

By mid-September harvest has been 50 to 75 per cent com-plete in other years, according to Bowditch but seemed to be only one to three per cent fi n-ished this year at the same time.

However, the sunshine and dry weather that were pre-dicted arrived last week and combines were running at full speed in the local area.

“We have had worse condi-tions,” said Bowditch who was trying to remain positive about the season and mentioned how snow and frost were affecting Alberta while fl ooding was a major issue in Manitoba.

What happens to the plant after a frost?

Essentially, the cold temperature freezes the water in the plant cells cre-ating crystals that enlarge and expand, creating a rupture and leakage. When the plant cells are warmed by the morning sunlight, the water crystals melt leaving damaged cells behind. The longer the duration of the frost on the plant, the more severe the damage will be. The damage to the plant will depend on the duration and tempera-ture affecting the plant. Some reports indicate that prolonged exposure of several hours with an air temperature of -2oC should be considered a killing frost. Other reports indicate that dam-age can occur at an air temperature of 0oC as the plants will feel the cold four to fi ve degrees cooler.

What parts of the plant are most critical to look at in the event of a frost?

The fi rst part of the plant to look at is the seed head or pod, if it’s in the fl owering to seed fi lling stages. Most commonly, killing frosts will stall any further development of the seed head or pod. If the plant is in the fl owering stage, it is unlikely that conditions would allow for further seed devel-opment. Should the plant be in the seed fi lling stage, the plant is more mature and less susceptible to frost. A factsheet is available discussing the effects of frost on oilseeds, pulses and cereals.

How can I tell how severe the frost was?

Usually it takes 24 to 48 hours to determine the extent of the damage.

This can be prolonged in cool, damp weather. Damaged leaves, pods or seeds will appear watery and lose rigidity. Remember that different plant species have different frost tolerances. As well, damage will be variable be-tween cereals, pulses, oilseeds and forage crops, and will vary depending on what stage of maturity the crop is at. Older crops are more capable of handling frost than younger crops.

Where do nitrates come from?Under normal growing conditions,

roots are continually absorbing nitro-gen in the form of nitrate for storage in the stalks and stems. The leaves are the metabolic engines of the plant that utilize the nitrate to build protein and other nitrogen-based compounds in the plant and seeds. In the event of a killing frost, the plant development is arrested and the leaf tissue cells are potentially damaged beyond repair, but the roots will still continue to transport nutrients from the soil to the stalks and stems. This is how the potential nitrate build up could oc-cur. In the event of a frost, one should expect that nitrates will exist in the plant tissues.

When should I cut my crop as a forage crop?

Several points must be addressed before deciding on when the crop should be cut for forage, and what method should be used to cut it. To decide when to cut a forage crop to preserve quality, evaluate and deter-mine the extent of the damage to the plant during the:

Flowering Stage – Severe Frost Under severe frost conditions,

growth and maturation of the seed head or pod will be stopped. The crop will not be harvestable as a grain crop. If leaf damage is also severe, consider cutting the crop as a forage crop as soon as possible to capture forage quality, and plan to deal with nitrates in a feeding management program. Test the forage for nitrates to get an accurate account of nitrate levels in the forage.

Flowering Stage – Mild Frost If the frost is not severe, consider

waiting and watching the crop for two to four days to see if the seed heads or pods continue to mature and develop. The plant may recover and continue to develop. However, if the frost was severe, growth will be stopped and one should consider cutting it im-mediately to capture forage quality. Test the forage for nitrates to get an accurate account of nitrate levels in the forage.

Seed Maturation/Milk/Soft Dough Stage – Severe Frost

Under severe frost conditions, growth and maturation of the seed head or pod, and fi lling of the seed head or pod, will be stopped. It is unlikely that the crop can be harvested for grain. However, this is a good stage to be cutting the crop for optimal for-age quality. If leaf damage is severe, consider cutting the crop as a forage crop as soon as possible to capture forage quality. If leaf damage isn’t too severe-the grain heads or pods are just starting to fi ll and the environmental conditions aren’t conducive to cutting and baling-there is more fl exibility in waiting several days versus cutting the

day after the frost. Test the forage for nitrates to get an accurate account of nitrate level in the forage and plan to deal with nitrates in a feed manage-ment program.

Seed Maturation/Milk/Soft Dough Stage – Mild Frost

Under mild frost conditions, examine the crop for damage to the seed head or pods. It may take a couple of days to ensure that the crop will continue to develop as normal. If head, pod or leaf damage is no-ticeable, a decision can be made to consider cutting the crop as a forage crop as soon as possible to capture forage quality. If leaf damage isn’t too severe-the grain heads or pods are just starting to fi ll and the environmental conditions aren’t conducive to cutting and baling-there is more fl exibility in waiting several days versus cutting the day after the frost. Test the forage for nitrates to get an accurate account of nitrate levels in the forage and plan to deal with nitrates in a feed manage-ment program.

What about millet and frost?Millet is a relatively new, high yield-

ing crop available to Saskatchewan producers. However, it is severely affected by an early fall frost. Tem-peratures of 0oC to -5oC causing frost may result in some millet varities turn-ing dark green to black the morning of the frost. Crown or proso millet, pearl millet and sorghum sudangrass are easily killed by a frost. The foxtail millets, such as Golden German millet and Siberian millet, may recover from a light frost.

Continued from page 20After a frost, producers should examine the crop to

determine whether the whole plant was affected or just the top leaves. If the whole plant has been killed by the frost, producers can cut immediately to preserve forage quality and bulk tonnage, while planning to do a forage nitrate analysis (note: millets tend to accumu-late nitrates quite quickly, so a nitrate analysis should be considered regardless of frost). If weather does not permit cutting, the crop can be left standing until more favourable weather develops, as millets do not lose their leaf matter as quickly as cereals when affected by frost. With a light frost, the top leaves may only be damaged and will turn a tan colour two to three days after the frost. With a light frost, the growing point of the plant will remain viable and will produce a new leaf in fi ve to seven days. With damage from a light frost, cutting can be delayed depending on the amount of growing weather remaining in the season. Grazing the millet may also be an option should the fi eld be grazing capable (see below).

There are rules of thumb that suggest a) cutting im-mediately the day after frost, b) waiting two to four days or c) waiting seven to 10 days after a frost. Which rule of thumb do I follow?

a) Cutting before the frost would prevent the stockpil-ing of nitrates; cutting the crop immediately the morning after the killing frost would reduce the time allowed for the roots to store nitrates in the plant, minimizing the fi nal level in the plant; and cutting immediately may also maximize the potential forage feed quality, again depending on the stage of maturity of the crop.

b) As the survival rate of the leaves goes up, the wait period to cut the forage would go down. Therefore, consider waiting from two to four days, as there are more leaves available to utilize the nitrates. Keep in mind, though, that waiting to cut may result in reduced forage quality and a poorer feed.

c) A waiting period of several days after a frost is based on the following theory: even after a killing frost, the roots of the plant will continue to absorb nitrates from the soil and store them in the stem and stalk. If a large majority of the leaves are killed by the frost, they will be unavailable to utilize the nitrates, resulting in an accumulation of nitrates. The rule of thumb would be to wait seven to 10 days to allow the remaining leaves to metabolize and utilize the stockpiled nitrates.

Which is the higher priority - concern with nitrates or forage quality?

The decision on when to cut a crop for forage after a frost should be based on forage quality fi rst, and nitrate content second. Essentially, a severely frozen crop will have a damaged seed head and will not mature as it would under normal growing conditions. Further wait-ing may also result in the plant losing leaf matter to leaves drying up or rotting, potentially further reducing

forage quality.Also, one cannot determine nitrate content of a forage

immediately after a frost while it is still standing in the fi eld. The producer should fi rst cut the forage to capture forage quality, assuming that there is an opportunity for nitrates to be present, then plan to test the forages for nitrate content at a later date. The decision to wait on a crop to eliminate nitrates involves more guesswork than control, as there is no indication if nitrates are even present in the fi rst place.

Waiting may occur by default as haying conditions may not be present at the time one intends to cut. Producers can deal with the nitrate issue with a feed management program.

Can I graze a frost damaged fi eld with my cattle or sheep?

Turning cattle or sheep out onto a fi eld affected by a severe frost requires extra management and attention. The cattle/sheep should only be allowed into the crop for 30 minutes to one hour the day following the frost, AFTER being fed in the morning, and then they should be removed from the area. Repeat the next day and slowly introduce the cattle/sheep to more and more of the crop over a fi ve to seven day period to allow the animals to adjust to the nitrates and the higher qual-ity forage. There will be an adjustment period by the stomach bacteria over that time period. Caution should be exercised, as sudden introduction to the crop will result in nitrate overload and nitrate toxicity.

What about cutting the forage crop for silage? Will that reduce the nitrate content?

In order for good silage to be made, the crop has to be cut at the most opportune stage of growth. For cereals, this will normally range from the late milk to mid dough stage of maturity. Making silage may or may not reduce nitrate content. If inadequate packing of the silage occurs, nitrate content may be reduced at the

cost of making poor silage. If the crop is packed into a ground pit silo, leaching may occur, allowing for some nitrate loss. Take samples of the silage as it is dumped into the silo and when the ensiling process is complete to fully determine what the nitrate content is.

What nitrate levels should I be concerned about?Pay attention to a nitrate level of 0.5 per cent (dry

matter basis). Any levels above 0.5 per cent will require extra management decisions to be made. A fact sheet on nitrate toxicity and management can be found under Production | Livestock | Health.

Practical Conclusions and Final DecisionsTheory suggests that undamaged plant leaves can

use stockpiled nitrates. However, when cutting imme-diately after a frost or waiting several days post frost, the presence of nitrates will depend on fertilization levels, weather conditions during the growing season, and severity of the frost. The most simplifi ed approach is to fi rst assess the damage, then decide on a course of action based on the severity of the frost. If plant develop-ment is affected, and a decision to harvest the crop for forage is made, consider cutting immediately to prevent any further deterioration and capture the best forage quality possible. If there is a concern about overall nitrate level, one should consider waiting several days before cutting, but only if there are adequate numbers of surviving leaves to utilize the nitrates.

Finally, plan to have nitrates in the forage after a severe frost regardless of when the crop is harvested. It is also important to prepare a feed management plan when utilizing a forage containing nitrates.

Recommendations on how to utilize high nitrate forages/feeds are available on this site or contact: Agri-culture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

The organic livestock industry is in the early stages of development but is rapidly gaining acceptance. This docu-ment will provide general information on production and marketing of organic beef, a sector that appears to be growing at a rapid pace.

A producer and/or rancher who is considering organic livestock production should gather information on production requirements, including cost-of-produc-tion and specifications of an organic standard. It is also very important to learn about the organic beef marketplace. The Canadian Organic Livestock Associa-tion (COLA) is a marketing organization that promotes the organic industry and develops marketing opportunities for its membership. For more information, please contact Carol Lowndes, Secretary-Treasurer, COLA, at (306) 327-4753, or at http://www.gks.com/cola

Although successful organic grain farming is not dependent on the inclusion of livestock, having a mixed operation does complement the holistic ap-proach of organic agriculture, especially through nutrient recycling. Some underlying principles of organic grain production are the minimization of soil degradation and erosion and the replen-ishment and maintenance of soil fertility by en-couraging biological activity within the soil. All essential nutrients are present to some degree in manure; the biological and physical properties of manure also help to improve soil structure and composition. As well as reaping the benefi ts of nutrient recycling, producers are increasing their on-farm revenue by adding value to their grain.

The Organic Beef MarketplaceFor the average consumer, there is probably

much confusion about the difference between

an “organic” product and a “natural” product. An organic product must comply with the stringent production, animal husbandry and processing requirements of an organic standard. The mar-keting term “natural” is not as clearly defi ned as “organic”. In general terms, a natural meat product is produced without the use of antibiotics and artifi cial growth stimulants. Organic meat produc-tion requires additional provisions that include an audit trail and third-party verifi cation.

Organic Standard RequirementsBecause there may be slight differences in

requirements between the various organic stan-dards, producers should always review the stan-dard to which they are complying, and ensure acceptance of products and practices by their particular certifying organization. It is not the intent of this publication to outline detailed re-quirements of organic livestock production, but general guidelines can be given.

Record KeepingDetailed record keeping of all aspects of the

operation is required by the certifi cation agency.

The standards are defi ned by the certify-ing agency; there is third party inspection of the producer’s operation, including animals, facility and records. Ultimately there is an audit trail from the primary product to the fi nished product.

Stock ReplenishmentBeef to be sold as organic must be

maintained under continuous organic management. Non-organic breeder stock may be brought into an organic operation provided that the animals, if gestating, are brought into the organic operation prior to the third trimester. There are no restrictions on male breeding stock and the practice of artifi cial insemination is

discouraged.Animal Health Care Practices

Producers of organic livestock should estab-lish, maintain and document their preventive health care practices, particularly the practice they employ if illness occurs, and the protocol for determining when a sick animal must receive a prohibited drug. If prohibited drugs are used, the animal must be identifi ed and sold into non-organic markets. In such a case, detailed records of the medication, animal identifi cation and receipt of the conventional sale must be retained. Ruth-less culling of chronic problem cattle is the best way to develop a healthy herd that is adapted to a particular farm.

A key ingredient in preventative health care is the reduction of stress. Animals should receive housing, pasture and sanitation conditions that minimize the occurrence and spread of disease. Conditions must also provide for exercise, free-dom of movement and reduction of stress that is appropriate to the species.

Producers of organic livestock should establish, maintain and docu-ment their preventive health care practices, particularly the practice they employ if illness occurs, and the protocol for determining when a sick animal must receive a prohibited drug. If prohibited drugs are used, the animal must be identifi ed and sold into non-organic markets. In such a case, detailed records of the medication, animal identifi cation and receipt of the conventional sale must be retained. Ruthless culling of chronic problem cattle is the best way to develop a healthy herd that is adapted to a par-ticular farm.

A key ingredient in preventative health care is the reduction of stress. Animals should receive housing, pasture and sanitation conditions that minimize the occurrence and spread of disease. Conditions must also provide for exercise, freedom of movement and reduction of stress that is appropriate to the species.

Vaccinations and AntibioticsThe use of certain vaccinations is

permitted; however, antibiotics are prohibited in order to maintain organic status.

Parasite ControlA common method of parasite con-

trol is the use of diatomaceous earth. This product can be used as a feed in-gredient and is claimed to be effective

for this purpose. Diatomaceous earth is also used externally as a dust for lice.

General Animal HusbandryProducers should select types of

livestock that are suitable to the management and facilities of their farms to minimize stress and disease potential. On-farm conditions should accommodate the natural behavior of the livestock. Access to the outdoors, shade and shelter must be provided. Excessive crowding of animals is pro-hibited - the space allotted per animal is generally twice that given animals in a non-organic environment.

Feed RequirementsAll feed sources must be certifi ed

organic, without exception. Harvest-ing and processing must also occur in certifi ed facilities.

Growth HormonesThe use of growth hormones is

prohibited.Manure Management

Producers are required to manage manure in a manner that does not con-tribute to contamination of crops, soil or water by plant nutrients, heavy met-als or pathogenic organisms. Process-ing and application should be such that nutrient recycling is optimized. Composting is highly recommended and restrictions on the application of raw manure do exist.

The onus is on producers to ensure that all practices comply with the standard to which they follow and are approved by their certifying agency.
