10 F ebruary 22'24 HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB. ECA REVIEW BREEDERS’ Many challenges faced Cont’d from Pg 8 Seed prices were up on average 5.6% and feed prices increased 1.1%, with the most notable increase seen in the price of swine supplement at 17.9% while feed oats experienced the largest decrease at 31.3%. In terms of crop chemicals and livestock drugs, the highest rise was observed for vitamin ADE (up 25.9 %) and the most significant decrease was for Roundup (down 19.6 %). Building supplies saw an average decrease of 1.9%, with the largest decline noted for lumber, followed by sheathing prices. “The farm input market has faced many challenges in recent years, from logistical hurdles and labour market disruptions to interruptions in the production of base inputs for manufacturing, congested delivery channels, rising wages, global supply concerns and escalating transportation costs,” explains Nikzad. “This unprecedented confluence of challenges had tangible impacts on the escalation of farm input prices.” For instance, fertilizer and fuel prices saw a sharp surge in October 2021, which was then intensified by the Ukraine-Russia conflict in February 2022. Russia is the major exporter of both fuel and fertilizer. The conflict escalation increased the level of uncertainty around supply and demand conditions and led to a spike in prices. Inflation pressure in the economy is another factor that can push up farm input prices. The Centre for Commercial Agriculture notes a strong correlation between changes to the inflation rate and prices for labour and machinery and other farm inputs. Inflation can result from increased demand that surpasses an economy’s capacity to produce, or from geopolitical risks, rising production costs, labour shortages, wage increases and supply chain challenges. Global fertilizer, chemical and other manufacturers have adapted to disruptions and increased the level of resilience across their respective supply chains. Efforts were helped by lower costs for raw materials (in the case of chemicals) and lower natural gas prices. Natural gas is a key input for nitrogen-based fertilizers, which has in turn contributed to the notable decline in fertilizer prices. “There is a diversity of perspectives on where farm input prices could go in 2024,” says Nikzad. “Some foresee the potential for further increase due to continued global uncertainty, the energy transition, ongoing supply constraints and improved Chinese demand. “Others take a more optimistic view and expect farm input prices to moderate. Much will depend on energy prices and global demand for farm inputs.” Valleymere Angus SPADY Black Angus Yearling Bulls FOR SALE 403-740-3652 Travis 403-741-2840 Ty Travis & Halley SPADY Alliance, AB Pedigreed, Commercial, Birdseed & Milling Grains David and Lori Webb Harold and Jan King David’s Cell 403 443 3333 Harold’s Cell 403 443 0005 RR#2 Three Hills, AB T0M 2A0 Email: kingsseedfarm@gmail.com website: www.kingsseedfarm.ca 2024 Pedigreed Seed For Sale HARD RED SPRING WHEAT *NEW* CDC Envy –early maturity, high yielding, semi-dwarf, very good standability, excellent lodging resistance and disease package AAC Hockley – consistent high yields, good protein, unsurpassed disease package, short semi-dwarf, superior standability *NEW* CDC Silas – has been a higher protein wheat on our farm, high yield potential, good standability, semi-dwarf AAC Viewfield – very high yield potential, bearded, semi-dwarf, short, excellent lodging resistance, good sprouting resistance as well as good resistance to FHB MALT BARLEY AAC Synergy – excellent yield, good disease package, recommended variety by the CMBTC *NEW* CDC Churchill – high yielding, 2 row malt barley, strong straw, lower protein CDC Fraser – high yielding, 2 row malt barley, strong straw, large plump kernels & lower protein, resistant to loose smut and stem rust CDC Copper – very high yield, early maturity, short, strong straw, excellent lodging resistance & fantastic disease package FEED BARLEY *NEW* AB Hague – strong disease package, high grain yield, good drought tolerance CDC Copper – very high yield, early maturity, short, strong straw, excellent lodging resistance & disease package Canmore - high yield, short, strong straw, excellent disease package, excellent lodging resistance OATS CDC Nasser – feed oat, high grain yield, great for swath grazing or silage CDC Arborg – white milling oat, high yield, strong straw, VG standability, 7% higher yielding vs AC Morgan, excellent milling properties, accepted by all millers, high beta-glucan content Call Harold or David for more info, to make a booking, or other varieties not listed.

At the time, there was, and continues to be, increasing pressure on the province’s land and resources due to population growth, economic development, and environmental concerns. Brief history In 2002, the Alberta government initiated the Land-Use Framework (LUF) process, which aimed to create a comprehensive and integrated approach to land use planning and management. The LUF process involved extensive consultation with stakeholders, indigenous communities and the public to gather input and perspectives on land use issues and priorities. Following the release of the Alberta Land-Use Framework in 2008, the government proceeded to CDC Austenson, Esma, Sirish, AB Wrangler AB Advantage-6 row -smooth awned Peas: AAC Ardill AAC Carver, CDC Forest(green) Over 40 Varieties Available!
