Scientists pitch ideas at third annual beef and forage research forum
The scientists met with government and industry representatives at a day-long pitch party on Feb. 24, 2020, on the USask campus. The Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association and the university’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Agriculture and Bioresources sponsored the event that attracted close to 80 people.
“It’s the most direct way for me to interact with the funding agencies, in this case, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association,” said Dr. Diego Moya, assistant professor of large animal clinical sciences at the WCVM.
“It’s a way for me to pitch ideas that I have in mind and grasp their interest and whether I should be doing things on that topic or changing my approach.”
Moya was one of 19 scientists who had 15 minutes each to present research ideas and answer questions about their research proposals. The presentations fell into one of three categories, based on the cattlemen’s association research priorities: microbiology and genetics, animal health and management, and forage and the environment.
For Dr. Jonathan Bennett (PhD), a relative newcomer to USask, the forum was an opportunity to continue to refine his research
“I’m a plant ecologist and I’m trying to find ways that I can help. I can come up with a thousand ideas, but I need to know which ones are actually important to the producers,” said Bennett, assistant professor in plant sciences at the College of Agriculture and Bioresources who started at the university in January 2018.
The forum was planned with long coffee breaks to provide opportunities for scientists to meet other scientists as well as the government and industry representatives. In addition to USask researchers, scientists from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the University of Regina and Lakeland College presented research ideas.
“It was pretty quiet in here at the first coffee break, but by the last coffee break of the day, you couldn’t hear yourself think because everybody was talking. That’s the value of the day, in my mind,” said Roger Meyers, co-chair of the cattlemen’s association’s research committee and a rancher from Minton, Sask., near the U.S. border.
Meyers, who reviews as many as 80 to 100 proposals for funding each year, also appreciates being able to put a face to the name.
“These presentations give us some background when the proposals come across the desk. With the Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence here, we are going to attract more researchers from around the world, which is a good thing, but there is never an excess of research funds. There will be more applications coming in and this gives us a good way to manage them,” he said.
The first Beef and Forage Research Forum was held in 2018. Organizers are already thinking about the fourth annual forum and how to improve the event that was deemed successful by organizers, scientists and funders.

DFO releases small-scale water intakes Code of Practice to protect fish
Under the Fisheries Act when pumping from waters that could be fish habitat, intake screening is required and standards and a sizing guides are now available online. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has published the Interim code of practice: End-of-pipe fish protection screens for small water intakes in freshwater document, which is pertinent to beef producers across Canada.
The code of practice provides design guidance, and instructions on installation and maintenance of small end-of- pipe screens related to entrainment (uptake through screen without escape) and impingement (held against the screen without escape) of fish species. The code provides best practices to follow on small-scale water intakes (e.g. irrigation, stock watering, construction, municipal and private water supplies) with the potential to impact.
The code of practice can be used under specific provisions including: Request a project near water review when the works, undertakings or activities do not meet all the criteria listed in this section.
Request a project near water review when the works, undertakings or activities do not meet all the criteria listed in this section.

Warning to Cattle Producers
The Saskatchewan Cattlemen's Association wants to alert you to a scam that is making the rounds.
Recently, cattle producers in Alberta and other parts of the country having been contacted by an individual wanting to buy cattle.
The individual may make mention that they will be responsible for transportation arrangements. After several emails discussing the details, an authentic looking cheque is sent to the breeder for the cattle. This is then followed by notification that the order has changed and asking for a partial refund to be deposited to a bank account that they give you.
This is a variation of bogus cheque frauds using a variety of email, telephone and banking schemes all designed to cheat the victim.
The RCMP is aware of the fraudulent activity and is investigating, it is not known if any reports are from Saskatchewan but officers want to make people aware of the issue.
We encourage you to use your best judgement when dealing with new or unknown buyers.

- Criminals will say anything to part you from your hard-earned money - always use your best judgement and be cautious. If a deal seems to good to be true it probably is and you should trust your intuition.
- Ask for and confirm the details of the people you are doing business with.
- You have the right to check out any potential buyer by requesting written information, a call back number, references and time to think over the offer.
- A quick online search of people and company names might confirm contact information like addresses, telephone numbers websites, etc. but all can be easily set up to cover for criminal activity.
- Although banks will release cash to you within days it may take weeks for a cheque to actually clear and you may be responsible for any missing money. Be aware of this when overpayments are made and refunds are requested.

Enhanced Crop Insurance Program Is Good For Saskatchewan Cattle Producers
SCA Teams Up To Fight Tax Proposals
Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association (SCA) is teaming up with The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), the Agricultural Producers of Saskatchewan (APAS), and the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association (SSGA) to ensure that the concerns of rural Saskatchewan are heard as it relates to the Federal Government’s proposed changes to the taxation of private corporations. The proposed changes will impact all Canadians who use private companies, including family businesses.
The partnering organizations understand the Federal Government’s intention to level the playing field to ensure that the Canadian tax system is not unfairly benefitting the wealthiest Canadians; however, this change could have adverse effects on farmers, ranchers, and small business owners across Saskatchewan and the rest of the country.
“98% of Saskatchewan farms are family owned, and incorporation is an important tool for transferring farms between generations and saving for future investment,” said APAS President Todd Lewis. “We are very concerned about the future of our family farms if these changes go ahead.“
“These proposals, if implemented, make it more difficult to keep family farms and ranches within the family as generations turn over,” explained the Chair of SCA Ryan Beierbach. “They will also make it more difficult to manage risk on farms that incorporated to include more family members in the business. There needs to be a way to achieve the government’s goals without negatively affecting cattle producers and all of agriculture,” Beierbach stressed.
“Additionally frustrating, is that the Federal Government has scheduled the public consultation period for the proposed changes to run from July 18th until October 2ndof this year. This timeframe coincides with the busiest time of year for agricultural producers,” said SSGA President Shane Jahnke. “Farmers will be busy harvesting and ranchers will be putting up feed, weaning calves and shipping -- these are not the sorts of things producers can readily put aside in order to make their concerns known to government officials. At the very least the government should consider extending the consultation period until early 2018.”
The organizations will work with other like-minded groups and experts in the field to clearly articulate to the Federal Government the negative impacts these proposed changes would have on many Saskatchewan farm families and business owners.
“The agriculture industry and small business are critical to the sustainability of rural Saskatchewan,” stated Ray Orb, President of SARM. “Rest assured that SARM is investigating the matter and will ensure that rural concerns are brought to the attention of the Federal Ministers of Finance and Agriculture.”
