COMMITTED TO THE FARMING COMMUNITY SINCE 1974

Your Insurance Broker Understands

Over the coming months we will be featuring organ-izations and associations in North America that helps and works with farmers. This week, we sat down with the Barley Council of Canada.

What is Barley Council of Canada (BCC) and what is the role BCC plays in Canadian Ag? The Barley Council of Canada’s role is to be the leader and coordin-ator for the barley indus-try – coordinating all links in the value chain, nation-al approach. The BCC is designed to be the voice for barley farmers and barley industry members. Our leadership team is com-prised of industry repre-sentatives and barley farm-ers, and we focus on these five main priorities:

innovation and researchpromoting best crop pro-

duction servicessupporting market

developmentincreasing market accessimproving understand-

ing and communications within the barley value chain

Each sector of the bar-ley value chain—producers, processors, feeders, malt companies or research-ers—has its own ideas about the barley industry and how to make it strong. It is this combination of the diverse perspectives within the industry that gives Canadian barley the exclusive representation it deserves.

We act as the leader and coordinator for the barley industry (coordinating all

links in the value chain, national approach). Barley is a unique crop with dis-tinct qualities and market needs. Barley now has a champion—each end-use needs this council’s undivid-ed attention to sustain qual-ity, market demand and long-term profitability.

Can farmers participate? How can farmers bene-fit from participating? We represent the entire barley value chain, from producer right through to processor and end-user. This is the first time in history the entire value chain has been brought together from coast to coast on a board of direc-tors.

Farmers are encouraged to participate by volunteer-ing their

time to their provin-

cial commissions (Alberta Barley, B.C. Grain Producers Association, Sask Barley, Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association, Atlantic Grains Council, Fédération des pro-ducers de cultures commer-ciales du Quebec) as a direc-tor or delegate—they can then provide a crucial voice at the national level. By par-ticipating in your provincial commissions you are provid-ing a voice to the BCC table. We need your voice at the provincial level in order to make change or progress at the national level.

The other thing farmers can do is help us to educate other barley growers about how the barley industry is progressing, what opportun-ities there are in growing barley and agronomic tips

to grow and market a prof-itable crop. They can go to BarleyCanada.com to gain information, they can also sign up for our newsletter by emailing Caitlan Carver at [email protected]

Do you have any edu-cation or public outreach initiatives? How can the community help? We act-ively give back to our com-munities and are involved in national campaigns that support agriculture across Canada. We believe that philanthropy builds sus-tainability in agriculture. Our team participates in multiple charitable events throughout the year. Our current project that we are supporting is Bees Matter. Let’s build the future for Canada’s agriculture com-

munity!What are you most excit-

ed about at the moment?We will soon be launching a cam-paign called, GrowBarley.This will be a site and cam-paign to raise awareness of successful agronomic prac-tices that will support farm-ers with their barley crops. We are currently gathering production and marketing information from across the country from all sectors and regions.

This information, for the first time ever for bar-ley, will be available online in one place where grow-ers can find the answers from agronomic production to market and profitability questions.

Getting To Know Barley Council CanadaTHE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 30, 2015 - Page 11A

The Nature Conser-vancy of Canada (NCC) is pleased to announce that the Royal Astro-nomical Society of Canada (RASC) has des-ignated the Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area (OMB) ranch as a Nocturnal Preserve. The OMB ranch is owned and managed by NCC in Saskatchewan.

This designation highlights NCC’s com-mitment to protect the dark night environment for wildlife and guard against future light pol-lution in the area. It also features OMB as a rare

place for visitors to enjoy dark night skies and study astronomy. NCC is committed to maintain-ing minimal use of artifi-cial light and to monitor light pollution at OMB.

The RASC created its Nocturnal Preserve des-ignation to raise aware-ness about the health and environmental value of dark nights for both wildlife and humans.

A Nocturnal Preserve has minimal artificial light, non-lighted sig-nage, and structures that confine external illumination. As a Nocturnal Preserve,

OMB will offer visitors the opportunity to expe-rience the sights and sounds of a natural night.

The RASC’s Nocturnal Preserve designation, part of the Dark Sky Preserve Program, is the newest of three RASC designations that aim to promote the protection of quality night sky and minimize light pollution. The RASC also awards the Dark Sky Preserve and the Urban Star Park designations. NCC’s OMB Ranch is among the first in Canada to be designated a Nocturnal Preserve.

The NCC also man-ages a herd of genetical-ly-pure plains bison that live on the 13,135-acre (5,316-hectare) ranch, located near Claydon in southwestern Saskat-che wan.

QUOTES:“We are very proud to

have been awarded this designation,” says Mark Wartman, Regional Vice President for the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Saskatchewan Region. “The importance of pro-tecting dark night skies against light pollution is just beginning to be understood. In addition to land conservation,

NCC now accommodates another aspect of our natural environment, that of dark night skies!”

“Artificial night light can change the night environment with a pro-found impact on the eco-logical balance of an area,” says Robert Dick, Chairperson of the Light Pollution Abatement Committee of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.

“Preventing outdoor lighting, or at least min-imizing its impact, is a major step in the overall protection of our noctur-nal environment. And NCC’s OMB ranch is an

ideal setting as aNocturnal Preserve.”

“The OMB ranch hasalways attracted natureand hiking enthusiasts,and those curious aboutthe genetically-pureplains bison managedhere by NCC,” saysNatalie Nikiforuk,Natural Area Managerfor southwesternSaskatchewan, NatureConservancy of Canada.“This designation addsanother dimension toranch visitors` experi-ences. We anticipate ahost of astronomers,novice and otherwise,will visit the ranch toview its rich night skies.”

Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) will host a new bull calf jack-pot event at Agribition in 2015.

President’s Classic presented by Semex, will take place in the Chevrolet GMC Stadium on Tuesday, November 24th.

A panel of three experts will judge bull calves within their breed, cul-minating in a grand finale featuring the champion of each breed vying for the President’s Classic title. The total payout for the event will exceed $7,500.

“Semex is proud to be a part of this inaugural and exciting event. Bulls are our business and we are happy to support Agribition’s platform to identify the next great group of future herd sires developed by purebred beef breeders,” says Myles Immerkar, Manager of Global Beef Programs with Semex Alliance.

“Agribition is the coun-try’s largest purebred beef show,” says CWA Beef Committee Chair, Chris Lees. “Integrating First Lady Classic and President’s Classic is an ideal way to kick off the week.”

Agribition drew in over 800 visitors from over 70 countries last year. “These types of compe-titions are a catalyst in securing exports to new markets; they are widely regarded as an integral part of marketing beef cattle genetics for our pro-ducers,” says Lees.

First Lady Classic, presented by Merck, is also a jackpot event which sees judges select the top yearling heifer at Agribition. Last year the total amount paid out in First Lady Classic was $7,600.

Entries for President’s Classic and First Lady Classic close October 1.

Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) is expanding the annual show’s programming to include a brand new Food Pavilion. This excit-ing new component is expected to attract new visitors and improve the overall shopping experi-ence shared by CWA’s already active 125,000 annual visitors.

The Food Pavilion, presented by The Mosaic Company, features a var-iety of exhibits including food products, kitchen products, workshops, cooking demonstrations, As Seen On TV products, and food sampling.

“In recent years, CWA has become increasingly festive. The growth in our consumer shopping area has paved the way for the show to highlight the entire food story,” said CWA President, Stewart Stone. “We have all the best cattle here as well as exceptional grain and other livestock contribu-tors. Creating a venue to highlight and market food from the prairies is a nat-ural progression.”

The Food Pavilion is presented by The Mosaic

Company, who share CWA’s vision for the new venue.

“Food security is at the heart of what we do. So, we are excited to be part of Agribition as the title sponsor of its new Food Pavilion,” said Sarah Fedorchuk, Senior Director of Public Affairs for The Mosaic Company. “This unique guest experi-ence will showcase the critical role that agricul-ture plays in the global food story as our indus-tries work together to help feed the world’s growing population.”

“General consumer awareness about food and food products continues to grow; this new pavilion is a great way to allow for dialogue between produ-cers and consumers,”said Stone. “We hope to see the venue visited by fam-ilies from both city and country.”

The Food Pavilion, presented by The Mosaic Company will be officially launched on November 23rd as part of the show’s lineup.

CWA takes place in Regina, SK from November 23 to 28.

Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF) today announced a $5 million dollar investment into three applied genomics research projects in len-til, wheat and soybean.

These projects were selected for funding under Genome Canada’s 2014 Large-Scale Applied Research Project Competition Genomics and Feeding the Future.

“WGRF is excited about the impact these projects will have for producers,” said Dave Sefton, WGRF Board Chair.

“Support of genom-ics for crop research is important for the development of improved crop varieties. WGRF’s partnership with Genome Canada

and involvement in their rigorous review process has allowed producers to invest in these world class genomics research projects.

I would like to thank the Government of Canada and Genome Canada for their partner-ship and support of agri-culture crop research.”

“Genome Canada is delighted that WGRF came in as a front-end programmatic partner for this important fund-ing competition. Clearly, they recognize the con-siderable untapped potential that genomics has to offer in terms of enhancing crops that are staples of this nation’s economy as well as those that are emerging in importance for produ-cers and consumers.”

Lorne Hepworth, Chair of Genome Canada.

At $18 million of funding planned for 2015, WGRF is the lar-gest producer funder of crop research in Canada. “WGRF’s annu-al research funding has tripled in last five years,” said Garth Patterson, WGRF Executive Director.

“This $5 million dol-lar investment by pro-ducers into cutting-edge plant genomics research is a good partnership for WGRF. The WGRF Endowment Fund is used to fund crop research projects that benefit all producers and the projects announced today will help enhance the profitability and sus-tainability of producers in western Canada.”

There are two weeks left to participate in the farmland ownership sur-vey. Consultations run until Monday, August 10.

As of July 24, 2015, more than 1,700 surveys have been received. The information collected will help the Government of Saskatchewan deter-mine who should be allowed to own farmland in Saskatchewan.

“We are pleased with the amount of participa-tion to date,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “That being said, there is still time left to take part, and I encour-age everyone interested to have their say. The

more people who par-ticipate, the fuller our understanding will be of public opinion regarding farmland ownership in our province. It will help ensure that we make the best decisions for the people of Saskatchewan.”

Once consultations end, survey results and comments will be post-ed online in the fall of 2015. Names, addresses and all other identify-ing information will be removed before results are published. After the results have been ana-lyzed, decisions will be

made regarding next steps.

The survey can be completed online at www.Saskatchewan.ca/farmland. Paper copies are available at Ministry of Agriculture Regional Offices and can be requested by calling the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377. An education document accompan-ies the survey to give participants information regarding the existing legislation surrounding farmland ownership in the province.

A letter of intent recently signed between the Barley Council of Canada (BCC) and the China Agriculture University (CAU) could bear fruit for long-term profitability.

The letter of intent recently signed at a ceremony in Beijing, is part of an agreement to develop a joint Canada-China feed barley study.

Triple ThreatWhat could be better than col-

laborating on a feed barley trial with the most prestigious agricultural uni-versity in China? How about three trials?

“Our plan is to run three differ-ent feed barley trials, hopefully one a year,” said BCC executive director Phil de Kemp.

The first one would use high qual-ity Canadian feed barley in up to 25 per cent of dairy rations to see if it generates more milk production and higher protein or butter fat. Based on the results, the next two trials would incorporate Canadian barley in cattle and hog rations, evaluating its impact on animal health, weight/carcass gain and all aspects of meat quality.

A Kernel of an IdeaThe seeds of this project were first

sown at the BCC’s annual general meeting in February. Knowing that the federal agriculture minister was leading a trade mission to China in May or June, the council looked at what could be accomplished on the trip. And while a flight to China is great for gathering air miles, de Kemp saw another angle.

“We started asking who we could partner with to enhance Canadian export opportunities. The Alberta Barley Commission is finishing up a trial with Japan looking at beef, and the CAU expressed great interest in a similar undertaking with barley.”

Choosing China

Of course, the reason for going with China on this study went far beyond “we happened to be in the neighborhood.”

As de Kemp pointed out, “there’s a real shortage of protein in China right now. Since feed barley produces three leading proteins in western Canada – beef, pork and dairy – this is a chance to validate the unique attributes of Canadian feed barley and help meet the growing Chinese demand.”

With China’s feed barley imports rising to about six million tons over the last 18 months, and their dispos-able income moving in a similar dir-ection, the people want more choice and availability of protein, and de Kemp wants Canada to be a part of that.

“Boosting their protein intake is beneficial to the Chinese, and what’s good for them can be very good for Canadian barley as well.”

Sharing the WealthIn true Canadian fashion, this

initiative isn’t just about how barley exporters can benefit, but how many others can profit in the process.

“By adding export market oppor-tunities for feed barley, whether it’s feed varieties or malting barley var-ieties not selected as malt, we can increase barley acres and provide not only for our industry, but for the cattle and hog industries as well. Plus, more acres mean more security of supply, giving producers other options for crop rotation besides wheat, canola and specialty crops. They can now add barley with confidence.”

While there are still “i’s” to be dot-ted and “t’s” to be crossed, de Kemp views this opportunity as a big first step to greater collaboration with China and other countries.

It is a bit hard to tell, but Canada is part of one of the largest trade negotiations that have ever taken place. Hard to tell because not many seem to want to talk about it. Canadian reac-tion to the negotiations seems a bit like a five-year old putting their hands over their eyes and hoping no-one sees them. That needs to change.

I am talking about The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations. These talks are rapidly run-ning to the finish line. Canada is at risk of being last in the race. Canadians cannot afford to let that hap-pen.

What is at stake? The twelve countries involved in this Asia-Pacific deal make up 40 percent of the world’s gross domestic product. Canada is a trading nation. We cannot afford to take a back seat in 40 percent of the world’s economic activi-ty.

Canada has some sensitivities in the negotiations. We are not unique. Everyone one of the twelve coun-tries around the table have sensitive domestic

issues. These range from the U.S. “buy America” programming, sugar, cars, clothing and of course agricul-ture.

What does make Canada unique is that the other 11 TPP part-ners are talking about their sensitivities, while Canada seems to be waiting. Other TPP members have indicat-ed that Canada risks being left out of the deal completely if we don’t quickly come to the table.

There is much to gain. Incomes in the Asia-Pacific region are rapidly rising. Trade between Asian-Pacific countries is growing faster than any other region in the world. Countries in the TPP are not just importing more, they are import-ing higher quality. This is an ideal opportunity for Canadian farmers and the entire agricul-ture value chain. We

are very good at supply-ing growing economies with high quality food.

Just as there is much to gain, there is much to lose. Asian-Pacific coun-tries are top buyers of Canadian grains and oilseeds. For example Japan imports about 1.5 million metric tonnes of high quality wheat every year. They are one of our most con-sistent customers. What happens to this market if competitors like the U.S. and Australia gain preferential access?

The status quo is simply not an option. Either Canada is part of the TPP agreement and is able to participate in the region’s growth or we are left on the side-lines while our competi-tors gain the benefits of better market access.

Canadian participa-tion should really be a no-brainer, but Canada will likely be asked to make decisions at an inconvenient time. Inconvenient because these decisions will need to be made before October 19th (election-day in Canada, for those who are not political junkies).

The Parkland College and the East Central Research Foundation have been working together since 2013 to do agriculture research in the region, examining crops and procedures in order to give useful information to local farmers. They recently hosted a field day in order to give pro-ducers in the area an idea of what they are doing this year.

Mike Hall, instruc-tor and researcher at the farm says that the goal is to use research to provide farmers with information they can use, and something like a field day is a tool to keep the farm on the minds of producers.

There are 26 projects on the farm, enough that not every trial could be brought up in depth at the field day. They planted every-thing from fava beans, peas, wheat, oats, flax, canary seed and cano-la. They also test a wide range of different things, whether that means fertility trials, fungicide trials or growth regulator trials. Hall says many of the trials are there involve changes farmers can implement right away on their own operation after they look at the research Parkland is doing.

One of the projects that generated the most interest among farmers assembled at the event were fava beans. Hall explains that the interest is due to a need for a legume to grow in order to fix nitrogen to the soil, but

a desire to move away from peas, which were suffering from root rot diseases. The interest in fava beans is coming from success other pro-ducers have had with the product, particular-ly in the north.

“It’s catching peo-ple’s attention. It’s a really great fit for us, it’s just a matter of finding a place to sell your product.”

The goal of the fava bean trials is to deter-mine the best way to grow the crop in this climate. There is a learning curve for the

crop, especially since many producers haven’t grown it before, so Hall wants to give them information to help decide how to grow the crop on their own farm.

“The whole point of the research trials is to try a wide variety of different combinations and make all the mis-takes so a farmer doesn’t have to make the mistakes.”

A research farm is still a farm, and as such faces the same challenges that any other farmer encoun-

ters. Hall admits that the dry start to the year was frustrating, and flea beetles and frost were major issues for a few of the trials. The canola trials had to be re-seeded, for example, and flax trials were thinned out, though other trials bounced back from the difficult start to the year.

“In the end, it looks good now, but it was a little frustrating in the beginning.”

One limitation for the research project is space. Hall says that they’re hitting the edge

of the land use, and that they’re on a con-stant search for more land in order to keep the research farm working.

“You need a three year rotation out of plot land before you go back into plot land, and I’m running out of land.”

The plan for the 2016 growing season is not set, though they are looking ahead to the future and consid-ering possibilities rele-vant to the area.

“It’s like a race, once you’re done harvest you don’t even have

time to analyze the data right away because you’re writing research proposals for next year.”

Given that one of the main goals of the proj-ect is to stay relevantfor area farmers, Hall emphasizes that they want people to know what they’re doing and what the results of the trials are each year. Their work is cataloged on their website at www.ecrf.ca which alsoprovides information on other events hostedon the farm.

Farmers keep track of research farm

THE PARKLAND COLLEGE and East Central Research Foundation recently hosted a field day to show area farmers what projects they have on the go, and what they hope to learn in order to help them make decisions for next year’s growing season.

For many people, the only time they think about bees is when they get stung. But given that one third of the food we eat is linked to pollinators like honey bees, losing them would really sting.

That’s why the Barley Council of Canada is pleased to support and be a part of Bees Matter, a website and awareness campaign mounted by sev-eral agricultural groups to maintain and enhance our thriving population of pol-linators.

“Globally, 80% of the plants consumed depend on pollination, largely by honey bees,” said Gregory Sekulic, an agronomist for the Canola Council of Canada and a spokesman for Bees Matter.

“Awareness” is the Buzzword

As a founding mem-ber of the campaign, the Canola Council and its partners are focused on protecting honey bee health and raising aware-ness of the strong bond between beekeeping and primary agriculture.

For example, “there are very few barley growers who don’t have other crops that rely on pollination,” said Sekulic. “So what-ever we do to preserve the honey bee could affect pro-ducers as well.”

At the same time, Bees Matter is encouraging farmers to take an active part in the process, teach-ing them how to minimize their impact on bees wher-ever possible.

Help Them Help YouIf you’ve ever done the

frantic search for a late night drive-thru to feed the munchies, you under-stand the stress that hun-ger pangs can induce. Now imagine spending eight hours a day doing that.

“For honey bees, a third of their life involves fly-ing to find pollen they can bring back to their hives,” said Sekulic. “By pollin-ating a diverse range of plants, they also contrib-ute to the success of our communities.”

With that in mind, Bees Matter introduced the Buzzing Gardens program in partnership with farm-ers across the country.

“Supporting honey bee health means ensuring that hives are within fly-ing distance of a wide var-iety of flowers that bees can visit.”

By offering everyone a free packet of seeds, enough for a five square foot (.45 square meters) garden, “we’re giving Canadians what they need to plant their own pollinator garden.”

Sekulic is thrilled with

the tremendous response to Buzzing Gardens.

“People appreciate that it’s something they can do in their own backyard and make a meaningful contri-bution to bee health.”

Given the response, Sekulic would like to see the seed packet program expanded into parks and suburban developments down the road.

“We’d love to work on public projects and get more pollinator-friendly habitats growing in vari-ous municipalities across Canada.”

In an age where bad news rules the ratings, Sekulic and his partners on Bees Matter are glad to be part of a feel-good story this time.

“Primary agriculture and beekeeping have enjoyed a positive rela-tionship for thousands of years. Bees Matter is a further illustration of what can be accomplished when we work together.”

And if you can’t get buzzed about that, some-thing’s wrong.

WHERE QUALITY COUNTS

Representatives from 14 countries attended the 48th International Grain Industry Program at Cigi (Canadian International Grains Institute) in Winnipeg, starting July 20.

The two-week pro-gram will offer 27 international custom-ers an overview of the Canadian grain and field crop industry with an emphasis on wheat and pulses and their use in end products.

The participants include senior repre-sentatives from trad-ing organizations, mills, and processing compan-ies from Bangladesh, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Ghana, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and United Kingdom. In addi-tion, representatives from Cereals Canada and the Canadian Grain Commission are attending. While at Cigi the group will partici-pate in classroom ses-sions and technical dem-onstrations on Canadian grains and pulses includ-ing an introduction to the Canadian industry, inspection and grading,

handling, transporta-tion, marketing, and technology.

“Each year the International Grain Industry Program pro-vides a unique opportun-ity to meet and inter-act with a number of senior representatives from companies from around the world that buy Canadian grain,” says Rick Morgan, Cigi Manager of Business Development, who is chairing the program. “Customers gain a bet-ter understanding of the Canadian grain industry which also serves to help maintain Canada’s com-petitiveness in the face of stiff competition in the marketplace. This ultim-ately benefits the entire value chain.”

The participants will learn about the process-es involved in milling, baking, Asian products, pasta, and analytical services through pres-entations, discussions, and hands-on demon-strations in Cigi’s pilot facilities. They will also have an opportun-ity to meet with senior industry representatives from grower organiza-tions, grain companies,

Cereals Canada, the CGC, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre.

While in Winnipeg the participants will also tour a Manitoba grain farm, seed farm, pri-mary elevator, the CGC, and CMBTC facilities. Toward the end of the program, the group will travel to Vancouver BC where they will visit the CGC, a terminal elevator, and Port of Vancouver.

Cigi is an independ-ent not-for-profit market development institute created in 1972. More than 42,000 people representing grain, oil-seed, pulse and special crops industries from 115 countries have partici-pated in Cigi programs and seminars. Cigi’s mis-sion is to increase utiliza-tion of Canadian grain and field crops through superior knowledge, technical expertise, industry leadership and collaboration, innovative processing solutions and targeted training to cus-tomers around the world. Cigi is funded by farm-ers, the Government of Canada (AAFC) and industry partners.

Cigi hosts annual grain industry program for international customers

Haying continues in the province. Livestock produ-cers now have 54 per cent of the hay crop baled or put into silage, with an addition-al 18 per cent cut and ready for baling, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report.

Rain showers have delayed haying in some areas. Hay quality is cur-rently rated as two per cent excellent, 52 per cent good, 38 per cent fair and eight per cent poor. Hay yields on dry land are well below the five year average (2010-2014). Average hay yields on dry land are estimated to be 0.8 ton per acre for alfalfa, 0.9 ton per acre for alfalfa/brome hay, 0.7 ton per acre for both other tame hay and wild hay, and 1.3 tons per acre for greenfeed. On irrigated land, average hay yields are estimated to be

2.2 tons per acre for alfalfa and alfalfa/brome hay, 2.5 tons per acre for other tame hay, 1.9 tons per acre for wild hay, and 3.1 tons per acre for greenfeed.

The Ministry of Agriculture has a Forage, Feed and Custom Service listing for producers to advertise and source feed products. It is available at www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/FeedForageListing.

Much of the province received rain last week that has helped alleviate mois-ture stress in some regions. Rainfall ranged from small amounts to several inches. Topsoil moisture conditions have slightly improved in many areas. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as two per cent surplus, 52 per cent adequate, 33 per cent short and 13 per cent very short.

Hay land and pasture top-soil moisture is rated as one per cent surplus, 36 per cent adequate, 43 per cent short and 20 per cent very short.

Sixty-six per cent of fall cereals, 68 per cent of spring cereals, 64 per cent of oilseeds and 63 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal stages of develop-ment for this time of year. Crops are ripening quick-ly, although the major-ity remain in poor-to-good condition. Lack of moisture and insects such as grass-hoppers and aphids have caused the most crop dam-age this week.

Farmers are busy cut-ting hay, controlling pests and readying harvest equip-ment.

The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC) recently announced the formation of the Advisory Group for the Supporting the Advancement of Women in Agriculture project. This project will examine and address critical barriers to advancement facing women in the industry. Based on these results, there will be a strategic program developed and implemented to support improved access to leader-ship opportunities and strengthened business success for women work-ing in agriculture.

As the project moves forward, the Advisory Group will provide feed-back around key lines of

enquiry to ensure mean-ingful outcomes for the agricultural community. This includes identifying subject matter experts to participate in the research, development and validation activities. Members will also assist in guiding the progress of the project for the next two years and as findings come in will provide feed-back on proposed research instruments, tool drafts, report drafts, and other project elements.

The Advisory Group is comprised of profes-sional and entrepreneur-ial women and men in the agriculture industry with an interest in advan-cing women in leader-ship roles. Members were drawn from senior man-

agement and executive positions in farm busi-nesses, agricultural asso-ciations and agribusiness. They provide a balance of representation from across Canada as well as a cross-section of produc-tion areas, business focus and industry associations. The members include:

Heather Broughton, Agriculture and Food Council of Alberta, Agri-Food Management Excellence Inc.

Chantelle Donahue, Vice-President Corporate Affairs, Cargill Limited

Dr. Annemieke Farenhorst, NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences, University of Manitoba

Recently Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Saskatchewan Agri culture Minister Lyle Stewart announced a com-mitment of $22 million, through Growing Forward 2, for the construction of a new 150,000 square foot multipurpose facility at Evraz Place called the International Trade Centre.

“Both Agribition and Farm Progress are institu-tions here in Regina and major contributors to the Saskatchewan economy,” Ritz said. “This invest-ment provides a world-

class venue that will draw international visitors to Saskatchewan to get a firsthand look at Canada’s dynamic agriculture indus-try.”

“Our government is proud to invest in the International Trade Centre,” Stewart said. “This multifunctional facil-ity will make significant contributions to our prov-ince’s strong and diverse economy. It is going to be an important facility with the ability to attract and host a variety of large events that benefit trade and agri-

business in our growing province.”

The primary goal of this investment is to enhance the stature of significant agricultural events such as Canadian Western Agribition and Canada’s Farm Progress Show which generate significant agri-cultural-related spending and returns for the indus-try. In addition, the facil-ity is expected to attract other large events such as consumer trade shows. The facility will also connect existing buildings on the grounds, making it one of

the largest interconnected event facilities in North America.

“I am very proud of coun-cil for starting the work on this project, along with our team at Evraz Place,” City of Regina Mayor Michael Fougere said. “As a city-owned facility, this venue will help increase the pro-file of Evraz Place and offer a lot more possibilities for events being held there.”

Evraz Place is a 102 acre site made up of a var-iety of multipurpose event buildings, barns, and sport and recreation facilities. It

also contains an arena and a convention centre. The International Trade Centre will replace a number of old buildings and barns on the property. It will be located between the Ag-Ex Pavilion and the Canada Centre complex.

“We are very grateful for this funding that will help to make the International Trade Centre possible,” Evraz Place President and CEO Mark Allan said. “This project will take the facilities at Evraz Place to a world-class level.”

Regina City Council will

discuss the city’s portion of the funding at its meeting Monday, July 27. Pending their approval, the project is expected to kick off in November 2015, following Agribition. Construction should be completed by November 2017.

Growing Forward 2 is a cost-shared partnership between federal, provin-cial and territorial govern-ments designed to support an innovative, competitive and profitable Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector.
