Keep this issue and set it out for your city cousins to see when they visit for the holidays, or better yet, leave
a copy open in the dentist’s waiting room.Turn it to associate editor Maggie Van
Camp’s article “Innovate, Don’t Settle” on page four. If there’s an image of agriculture that should be carved in every Canadian’s mind, it’s the one in her perfect first para-graphs, which I’ll quote here at risk of steal-ing her thunder.
“The road that I was recently driving along near our place is like most in rural Canada, with crops, barns, trees, and occa-sionally houses. The dust was swirling behind my truck, and everything through the windshield looked pretty much as it always has. But then I slowed down to take a closer look.
“In one field a cover crop of oilseed rad-ish was bursting out of the ground. Then I saw our young neighbour’s sheep barn, and I wondered how his custom-made feed delivery system was working out. I could also really tell where the foliar calcium was applied on the front half of that field, and hey, they were using vertical tillage to work in broadcasted wheat seed over there. And in the next field over, the crop looked pretty even where they had used a variable-rate fertilizer spreader.”
As Maggie says, “Solving problems with practical intelligence is what farm folks do.”
Too many of agriculture’s sporadic efforts to build bridges to consumers start with a flannel-shirted photo of farmers.
They should start instead with the image that anyone would absorb in an afternoon at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show.
Professionalism is agriculture’s hall-mark. Ask yourself, how many other indus-tries can meet agriculture’s standard, where as a consumer, the closer you look, the more confident you get?
Next, have your non-farming friends thumb their way through the innova-tions throughout this admittedly too-brief issue.
From its birth, Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show knew that it would be not only a demonstration of farm technology, and not only a place for farmers to meet, although it is both of those things too. It would also be a celebration.
We know there are challenges ahead. Can the pace of change that Canada’s farms experienced over the last few decades actually continue?
Can our farms really triple in size in the next 20 years?
On its face, it seems impossible. The land simply isn’t available, we tell our-
selves, and there’s no way anyone could manage that many acres or that many barns and still maintain the kinds of pro-ductivity that are essential for survival in today’s ag economy.
Yet that isn’t what you learn at the farm show.
Although it’s true that demand exceeds land availability in most areas of Ontario, and most parts of the country overall, and although it’s true that this is stifling farm growth to some degree, it’s also true that today’s farmers are aggres-sively investing in their own efficiency.
It isn’t all farms that are spending, but neither is it only mid-career farmers. Farms across the spectrum are adding new technology, they’re investing in higher-capacity machinery, and they’re researching production systems that return more output per hour of input.
In almost all these cases, they’re transi-tioning their operations into farms that could easily expand, and that will want to do just that at the first opportunity.
It’s why the farm show and the role it plays in introducing innovation actually gets more important, not less, as our agri-culture continues to evolve.

The road that I was recently driving along near our place is like most in rural Canada, with crops, barns,
trees, and occasionally houses. The dust was swirling behind my truck, and every-thing through the windshield looked pretty much as it always has. But then I slowed down to take a closer look.
In one field, a cover crop of oilseed radish was bursting out of the ground. Then I saw our young neighbour’s sheep barn, and I wondered how his custom-made feed delivery system was working out. I could also really tell where the foliar calcium was applied on the front half of that field, and hey, they were using vertical tillage to work in broadcasted wheat seed over there. And in the next field over, the crop looked pretty even where they had used a variable-rate fertilizer spreader.
This wasn’t an Ag Canada research farm. Nor are my neighbours all engi-neers. Instead, it’s a regular old dirt road in southern Ontario.
Solving problems with practical intel-ligence is what farm folks do, and always have done.
But today we put a ribbon on it, and call it innovation.
Maybe, though, giving it a $64 word isn’t such a bad idea.
Innovation is the process of translat-ing an idea or invention into a good or service that creates value for which cus-tomers will pay, according to www.busi nessdictionary.com.
As director of research and innova-tion for Ontario’s ministry of agricul-ture, Mike Toombs is always astounded by the raw desire of farmers to improve, driving them to seek out, collaborate, create and invent.
“It comes down to attitude,” says Toombs. “You can be a very good man-ager, with great profit margins but not be an innovator.”
There’s an inherent risk to innovation. If there isn’t any risk, then probably it’s
not innovative. So, maybe it’s no surprise then that on some farms, the attitude is if you’re doing well, why change?
To recognize and encourage produc-ers, food processors and organizations to keep innovating, the Ontario govern-ment created the Premier’s Award for Agri-Food Excellence. Other provinces have created their own innovation con-tests too, spurring innovation all across the country.
In Ontario, it’s a contest for farmers and food processors, with a top award of $75,000 for the best innovation. Toombs was involved in the creation of this con-test in 2006 and says it has helped foster a culture of change, innovation and adoption in the province.
“The best thing about this contest is that it shares the innovations, it makes these ideas public,” Toombs says. “It opens the eyes of the whole community.”
Applications continue to have a strong farm focus, and in the last two

But today we put a ribbon on it, and call it innovation.
Maybe, though, giving it a $64 word isn’t such a bad idea.
Innovation is the process of translat-ing an idea or invention into a good or service that creates value for which cus-tomers will pay, according to www.busi nessdictionary.com.
As director of research and innova-tion for Ontario’s ministry of agricul-ture, Mike Toombs is always astounded by the raw desire of farmers to improve, driving them to seek out, collaborate, create and invent.
“It comes down to attitude,” says Toombs. “You can be a very good man-ager, with great profit margins but not be an innovator.”
There’s an inherent risk to innovation. If there isn’t any risk, then probably it’s
not innovative. So, maybe it’s no surprise then that on some farms, the attitude is if you’re doing well, why change?
To recognize and encourage produc-ers, food processors and organizations to keep innovating, the Ontario govern-ment created the Premier’s Award for Agri-Food Excellence. Other provinces have created their own innovation con-tests too, spurring innovation all across the country.
In Ontario, it’s a contest for farmers and food processors, with a top award of $75,000 for the best innovation. Toombs was involved in the creation of this con-test in 2006 and says it has helped foster a culture of change, innovation and adoption in the province.
“The best thing about this contest is that it shares the innovations, it makes these ideas public,” Toombs says. “It opens the eyes of the whole community.”
Applications continue to have a strong farm focus, and in the last two

program years, the number of agri-food processing applications has increased. In 2013 applications included 58 per cent primary producers, 18 per cent agri-food processors and 24 per cent agri-food organizations.
Typically, the winners tend to reinvest the prize money in their operations and turn it right back into new ideas. The award has helped increase consumer confidence and created new opportuni-ties for the businesses. Some applicants repeatedly enter the contest. “We’ve got serial innovators,” says Toombs.
The entries are judged for uniqueness and originality, and to what extent the idea or concept has been thought through to completion. The innovation must have been developed or be in development and currently be in use or have a future use in the agri-food sector. Judges also consider the degree of suc-cess (or potential for success) of adop-tion by other agri-food businesses or the commercialization and marketing of the innovation. Moreover, the innovation must have potential for use on a broader basis and potentially have a positive effect on the agricultural industry, both economically and socially.
It’s not all about equipment inventions and improved production. Improved business practices, response to consumer demands, environmental stewardship, energy and bioeconomy, health and safety, food safety and traceability, educa-tion and marketing of the agriculture and food industry to society are also areas that are recognized in these awards.
The MonforTe sToryThis year, an artisan cheese company,
Monforte Dairy from Stratford, Ont., won the $75,000 as the top innovation. In 2008, when rent at their location skyrock-eted, owner Ruth Klahsen sold shares in denominations of $200, $500 and $1,000, all redeemable in cheese. Monforte cus-tomers purchased nearly 900 shares total-ling more than $400,000. The money helped pay for a new, environmentally sustainable cheese-making plant.
Since reopening, Monforte Dairy has doubled its staff to 20, purchasing milk from 20 local farmers and achieving $2 million in sales.
Now Klahsen is using the $75,000 award to support the development of a
cheese-making school, but the award is also proof of the diversity of today’s farm-ing, even if that diversity might raise the eyebrows of many conventional farmers. “In a world gone mad for innovation and change, it’s the small pleasures that keep us sane,” the Monforte website says. “And in the constellation of small plea-sures that salve the mind and nourish the body, what trumps the sheer sensual deliciousness of a well-crafted cheese? At Monforte, we’re convinced the small things do indeed make a difference, that agriculture is best practised on a human scale, and that our cheeses, each in its own way, reflect something a little deeper than the technology behind mass manu-factured food — a little of the poetry and passion of life itself.”
resourcefulAlthough many farmers are natural-
born tinkerers, it’s often a pressure from outside that pushes them toward new ideas and technologies. “Farmers focus on what they can do with their resources and what they can get out of them,” says Toombs.
In Ontario, high land and labour costs have forced farmers to produce as efficiently as possible, as well as to expand into higher-value crops, moving up the value chain and differentiating their products. Many operate on 100-acre parcels of expensive land pushed by urban pressure, intensive livestock oper-ations and pockets of vegetable and fruit farms. Good growing conditions and higher heat units mean farmers are able to grow many different crops.
With several long-established agricul-tural education and research facilities in the province, farmers have been able to leverage new information and the knowledge of specialists. “It helps that we have the biggest agricultural univer-sity in Canada, and that farmers here have a can-do attitude,” says Toombs.
The reality is that Canadian farmers are not going to compete with countries
with low labour and land costs, and we’re not going to outgrow the Midwest Corn Belt, says Toombs. However, we do have the people, the education, and the ability to be collaborative and innovate to do something even better.
An example of this type of collabora-tion won the award in 2009. A group of 13 Ontario tomato farmers from near Leamington designed and constructed a new communal drip irrigation system. The 36-km pipeline, pump house and filter system precisely monitors the amount of water being delivered from Lake Erie to 2,500 acres of tomatoes in the Leamington area. The fixed structure eliminated much of the annual setup associated with traditional drip irriga-tion and reduced water costs in the growing season by two-thirds.
Toombs says Ontario has benefited greatly from farmers immigrating to Canada and bringing new ideas with them. One of his all-time favourite projects from the Premier’s Awards came from Swiss brothers Fritz and Paul Klaesi who had immigrated to eastern Ontario. They built one of the first anaerobic digester system plants in the province and adopted some very practical, interesting tweaks to make it work here.
Another project that really sticks in Toombs’ mind for resourcefulness was developed by a female hog farmer from near Stratford. She invented a movable pig gate that anyone could handle easily. “The sheer ingenuity of this woman was inspiring,” says Toombs.
Back in The TruckNot too far south from where I’ve
slowed down to check out what my neighbours are up to, Gord and Garry Geissberger have won a subcategory of the Premier’s competition this year called the Leaders in Innovation award.
They created a mobile cider mill, the first of its kind in Ontario. This cider press on wheels travels to the apples, rather than the other way round. With top-of-the-line technology and comput-erized pressing equipment, the custom-ized trailer can process 500 litres of cider an hour. The Geissbergers also sell cider in bag-in-box packaging that keeps the cider fresh for a full year, sort of like wine in a box.
The dust is not settling.

Over the past several years, preci-sion agriculture has rapidly evolved in multiple directions.
First there were yield monitors, fol-lowed by variable-rate technology for spray and nutrient applications. More recently, there’s been the evolution of planter units with on-the-go adjustable down-pressure as a means of adapting to different soil types or conditions across a field.
Now comes the first of its kind in a variable-rate planter, one which provides the grower with the capability of plant-ing more than one hybrid.
Anticipation had been building, and when Raven Industries unveiled its latest enhancement to its existing OmniRow control system in the U.S. last June, the fanfare spilled across the border.
The unit had been in development and was tested extensively at South Dakota State University, with consider-
able success. Then at the 20th anniver-sary of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in 2013, Raven offered Canadian growers a glimpse of the future as well, on display at the Monosem exhibit.
It’s so recent a development that there aren’t any growers who have had experi-ence with it. However, this latest configu-ration on the OmniRow unit will be commercially available for purchase in time for the 2014 planting season.
Visually, there haven’t been any changes to the unit itself, only the manner in which it’s used. The units are config-ured into front and back rows, with each row planting a specific hybrid. The effect is to have two planters working in con-cert, but with each row working indepen-dently to plant a different hybrid according to sensors on the planter’s computer.
Of course, the unit can also adjust the planting rates, according to conditions.
“It’s a new function of OmniRow,” says Ryan Molitor, marketing supervisor of applied technology for Raven Industries. Initially, OmniRow enabled farmers to go for variable-rate (i.e. pre-scription) planting, where they could manually or electronically switch their population rates, either four rows at a time or right down to each individual unit. The system was built around a hydraulic motor and clutch system designed to give the grower as much con-trol as they might need.
New for 2014, Molitor says, is that when the grower is using a twin-row or interplant design, the planter will allow switching hybrids on the fly.
For now, it’s a breakthrough that OmniRow can provide the power to plant two hybrids. But that isn’t where the tech-nology will stop.
Molitor says that when the system was launched during the company’s

innovation summit last June, a four-member producer panel was asked, “What’s the next technology you need for your farm?” And the answer from most growers on the panel was quick and consistent. They need the ability to switch between multiple hybrids, and to do it “on the fly.”
When asked how many hybrids, the answer was also consistent. “They said, ‘Two for now would be great,’” Molitor says. “We were pretty pleased to hear that.”
Included in the kit that Raven provides its customers are software and a cab dis-play that provides that capability for multi-hybrid planting.
The row units themselves are fixed on the toolbar. When the computer senses the need to switch from one hybrid to the next, the software actually shifts the trac-tor to steer to the right or the left to keep the rows as straight as possible.
Depending on the field, the two dif-ferent hybrids may be switched to match
different soil types, or a drought-tolerant hybrid may be chosen for a dry knoll. A resistant variety could also get inserted where there’s risk of insect damage.
“It does require a Raven field com-puter in the cab,” says Molitor. “And it’s our Envizio Pro or Envizio ProXL that’s the field computer that we have. That handles the planter functions, and it also does the steering, application controls —even yield monitoring and other tasks.”
On the original OmniRow system, the power to drive the motors on the row units came from a pair of “black boxes” on the planter. Although this latest enhancement also relies on these mod-ules, now there are additional output cables channelling power to the new multi-hybrid units.
For now, the OmniRow units have the capacity to enable multi-hybrid functions on planter units with as many as 36 rows. Molitor also says that despite the extra functions, there is no need to increase a
tractor’s power output or to move up to a higher horsepower class.
“One of the things with our hydraulic unit that worked and really surprised us was how little hydraulics it actually uses,” says Molitor. “When we get into some of the larger planters, including the most popular models on the market, we’re able to control those motors without getting a lot of hydraulic power drop.”
Although the system was configured to a North American-made Monosem planter when it was on display at the Outdoor Farm Show, Molitor says the kits from Raven make it adaptable to any other twin-row or interplant planter, including Great Plains and oth-ers. The key is the use of the kits, which the company recommends that growers get installed by a certified dealer.

In conventional soil sampling and analysis, growers have access to a fairly wide array of parameters and
values. There are the standard N-P-K values from a soil test, plus organic mat-ter, soil pH — and for an added price — nitrates, sulphur, copper and manganese. Some labs will also throw in a physical analysis, with percentages of clay or sand in the soil — again, for an added price.
But what would it be worth to your operation to know the risk for compac-tion in your soils?
What if you could learn more about your soil’s bulk density, or its water retention capability?
What if there were 15 base parame-ters that were available from one in-depth soil analysis?
Welcome to the future, thanks to the SoilOptix unit. Another worthwhile addition to the lineup of innovations seen at the 20th anniversary of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, the SoilOptix sys-tem has undergone an extensive learning and adaptation curve.
The product of more than 10 years of research in Europe, SoilOptix actually made landfall in Canada around 2009, when Paul and Barry Raymer, then of The Farm Office, based in Tavistock, Ont., began studying the unit and its many applications.
The Raymers were at the Grain Farmers of Ontario’s annual meeting in London last March under their new moniker, Practical Precision, and had a video presentation for the SoilOptix sys-tem, including a brief exploration of the breadth of its potential.
Now, more than six months later, Paul Raymer has had the chance to work with the system on about 750 acres here in Ontario.
Predictably, there’s been some skepti-cism on the part of growers, who wonder at the practicality of garnering that much information. As mentioned, there are 15 basic parameters or soil properties that can be generated from the SoilOptix sampling procedure and subsequent analysis. Another seven, including nitrates, sulphur, iron, copper, manga-nese, zinc and boron (the micronutri-ents) are obtainable at an added cost.
Raymer acknowledges there’s a lot to be learned about exactly how SoilOptix can best be used, but that preliminary results from the 2013 growing season are already winning converts.
Growers lined up to check out the system at the Outdoor Farm Show, and Raymer suggests that either type of reac-tion — positive or reluctant — is likely a reflection of the type of farmer that’s out there. Those who are most positive about
its use and potential tend to be the inten-sive managers.
“For those managers and the ones we have done the work for, they really like it,” says Raymer, adding that it’s not so complex that it’s making growers reluc-tant to adopt the technology.
“It starts with their mindset and where they are today when they grab a hold of this,” Raymer says. “It’s a matter of going to chase ‘the more’ rather than what you already have. I haven’t heard anybody say that land is a bargain or that inputs or seed costs are a bargain, so it’s investing more to hopefully gain more.”
THE SOILOPTIX DESIGNVisually, the SoilOptix unit appears
to be a simple metal tube mounted to the front of an ATV. But according to Raymer, this European technology mea-sures naturally emitting radiation released through the decomposition of the top foot of the soil.
It is a passive sensor — not penetrat-ing — and it measures four nuclides or isotopes that are present in the soil, namely uranium, potassium-40, thorium and cesium.
Data is collected in swaths of up to 40 feet wide (although they’re narrower in smaller fields). Using this sensing tech-nology, in combination with soil sam-

pled “ground-truthing,” is roughly equivalent to 250 to 300 core sample locations per acre.
“What this researcher in Europe has found is that there’s a strong correlation to these varying nuclides to what we naturally go and chase, and what we chase is based on mathematics,” explains Raymer. “But we still go and collect calibration physical soil samples to be able to correlate to what the mathematical models tell us.”
The recommended frequency for the SoilOptix process is based on a nine-year cycle. Raymer uses the initial survey to benchmark the values present in the soil, confirming their values by pulling core samples, and then repeating the proce-dure every three years following a stan-dard corn-wheat-soybean rotation. In that setting, he’d return to take follow-up readings and core samples at three and six years to complete the cycle.
“With the field survey, we’re measur-ing the decomposition of the soil, and that decomposition isn’t that fast,” says Raymer.
At the Outdoor Farm Show, Raymer and his father Barry were showing grow-ers how the rates for their service (less than $10 per acre per year during a nine-year cycle) will work out to be less expen-sive than the 1.0-acre grid sampling regimen (listed in Practical Precision’s brochure as $9 to $11 per acre per year). The cost for a 2.5-acre grid sampling was listed at $4 per acre per year.
Again, soil sampling still takes place, providing a confirmation — and in some cases a contrast — to what the SoilOptix system is reading. In the past few years, there has been considerable debate around the accuracy of soil sampling. Some crop advisers and dealers have questioned the relevance of a sampling protocol they say is more than 30 or even 40 years out of date. Add to that, shifts in management prac-tices and refined plant genetics that have changed the standards to which soil nutri-ent levels can or should be measured, and the overall value of soil sampling has become questionable in the eyes of many.
Far from second-guessing or ques-tioning those values, Raymer is never-theless curious to get at exactly what the farmer is trying to do with the informa-tion from standard soil test results.

back is the nutrients,” Raymer says. “Not to say those aren’t important, but are they a big generator to help boost yields?”
Says Raymer about SoilOptix: “I’m not saying this is a silver bullet, but we believe it’s taking us farther than we’ve ever been.”
Once the survey is complete, Raymer looks at the variation in radiation levels, then pulls the core samples based on those variations. He can use the isotopes and derive an average for nutrient content, with an accuracy of 60 to 85 per cent, based on different properties. For soil tex-
ture — and that, says Raymer, is the real strength of this tool — the accuracy jumps to 70 to 95 per cent. Thorium, for instance, correlates very well with clay content.
Interest buIldIngShortly after the Woodstock show,
Raymer met with representatives from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food to discuss the use of the SoilOptix system. He’s pleased to know that there’s
interest from the ministry, although he believes it was more as a tool for envi-ronmental applications. Yet he’s still con-fident that such interest will have a positive impact going forward.
Raymer notes that there’s been con-siderable skepticism in the past from ministry staff regarding the use of GreenSeeker technology, which Raymer also markets. Yet provincial corn special-ist Greg Stewart has reversed his previ-ous stance, advocating the use of GreenSeeker technology at a specific point in the growing season. And Raymer sees that as a signal that times — and some time-honoured perceptions — are changing.
“The ministry is applying for some OFID (Ontario Farm Income Database) funding for a two-year project for variable-rate nitrogen utilizing optical sensing, and yet we’re going to the next level of utilizing those zones,” says Raymer. He notes that he can now use the SoilOptix system to enhance the prescriptions created by the GreenSeeker unit and either override its rec-ommendations or tweak them based on the more-detailed results from the SoilOptix unit. “We can take something like nitrogen-use efficiency to the next level.”
lookIng aheadRaymer says he’s been very fortunate
in that Practical Precision is the exclusive North American distributor and he feels it puts him at a tremendous advantage. And depending on the uptake of the technology, there may come a time when he can sell the SoilOptix units direct to growers.
Again, the key is determining what the farmer is looking to address on their particular farm.
The learning continues for Raymer as wel l . He notes that one Swedish researcher is studying spatial variability in cadmium as a means of improving production in wheat, which has a sensi-tivity to cadmium. There’s also room for expansion beyond the 15 standard prop-erties and seven micronutrients.
“It’s the power of numbers, and the biggest thing is that growers can utilize this system, and a lot of them have the appetite for this type of information,” says Raymer. “They already have the variable-rate equipment in their shed, but it’s been underutilized.”
So the learning continues.
“It’s taking us farther than we’ve ever been.”

back is the nutrients,” Raymer says. “Not to say those aren’t important, but are they a big generator to help boost yields?”
Says Raymer about SoilOptix: “I’m not saying this is a silver bullet, but we believe it’s taking us farther than we’ve ever been.”
Once the survey is complete, Raymer looks at the variation in radiation levels, then pulls the core samples based on those variations. He can use the isotopes and derive an average for nutrient content, with an accuracy of 60 to 85 per cent, based on different properties. For soil tex-
ture — and that, says Raymer, is the real strength of this tool — the accuracy jumps to 70 to 95 per cent. Thorium, for instance, correlates very well with clay content.
Interest buIldIngShortly after the Woodstock show,
Raymer met with representatives from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food to discuss the use of the SoilOptix system. He’s pleased to know that there’s
interest from the ministry, although he believes it was more as a tool for envi-ronmental applications. Yet he’s still con-fident that such interest will have a positive impact going forward.
Raymer notes that there’s been con-siderable skepticism in the past from ministry staff regarding the use of GreenSeeker technology, which Raymer also markets. Yet provincial corn special-ist Greg Stewart has reversed his previ-ous stance, advocating the use of GreenSeeker technology at a specific point in the growing season. And Raymer sees that as a signal that times — and some time-honoured perceptions — are changing.
“The ministry is applying for some OFID (Ontario Farm Income Database) funding for a two-year project for variable-rate nitrogen utilizing optical sensing, and yet we’re going to the next level of utilizing those zones,” says Raymer. He notes that he can now use the SoilOptix system to enhance the prescriptions created by the GreenSeeker unit and either override its rec-ommendations or tweak them based on the more-detailed results from the SoilOptix unit. “We can take something like nitrogen-use efficiency to the next level.”
lookIng aheadRaymer says he’s been very fortunate
in that Practical Precision is the exclusive North American distributor and he feels it puts him at a tremendous advantage. And depending on the uptake of the technology, there may come a time when he can sell the SoilOptix units direct to growers.
Again, the key is determining what the farmer is looking to address on their particular farm.
The learning continues for Raymer as wel l . He notes that one Swedish researcher is studying spatial variability in cadmium as a means of improving production in wheat, which has a sensi-tivity to cadmium. There’s also room for expansion beyond the 15 standard prop-erties and seven micronutrients.
“It’s the power of numbers, and the biggest thing is that growers can utilize this system, and a lot of them have the appetite for this type of information,” says Raymer. “They already have the variable-rate equipment in their shed, but it’s been underutilized.”
So the learning continues.
“It’s taking us farther than we’ve ever been.”

INNOVATION ROUNDUPThey were everywhere. The 2013 Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show will go into the books for squeezing more innovations into each acre
than any other show we’ve seen. From amazing high-capacity field equipment to some very brainy, roboticized marvels for the dairy barn, and from new corn and soybean genetic traits to new electronics for picking the best of those genetics, innovations were all around. COUNTRY GUIDE asked ag journalists Maggie Van Camp, Ralph Pearce and Amy Petherick to report on the most impressive innovations they unearthed. Said Pearce, “I could have kept on writing.”
Here’s an innovative chance for farmers to track precipitation on their farms, and also be part
of a network. It looks like a variation on the simple
graduated cylinders we all used for those high school science lab experiments. But in this case, the gauge provides accurate on-farm measurements as well as the opportunity to be part of something more complex and more informative.
The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow (CoCoRaHS) network is an innovative non-profit, volunteer col-lective that grew out of the floods that hit Fort Collins, Colorado in 1997. And now, the network is being championed by the staff at Weather INnovations (WIN) of Chatham, Ont.
The company’s staff was at the 2013 edition of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, showcasing the gauge and handing out cards with the CoCoRaHS website, plus an invitation to join a growing North American network.
The gauges are said to provide greater accuracy in measuring all forms of pre-cipitation in specific locations — such as your farm — instead of relying on the nearest weather station (which seldom accounts for microclimates). Then it allows participants to add those totals to a growing database that can provide more
accurate compilations of precipitation statistics both near and far.
All that’s required is an enthusiasm (and commitment) for recording the pre-cipitation data and sharing your numbers with the network.
For more information, check out www.cocorahs.org/Canada.aspx.
Really, it’s called CoCoRaHSA unique name for a unique new weather data opportunity
A sprayer for tighter places
For farmers growing specialty crops or working with small fields, bigger isn’t better. Now, Case IH has
responded to this issue with the launch of their latest Patriot self-propelled sprayers.
The Patriot 2240 offers farmers all the features of the larger sprayers in the model series, but this time mounted on a smaller chassis. Although the body of the machine may be smaller, the company made sure not to compromise height, with a 62-inch clearance that still allows for later-season application. The fact that the machine stands a little taller also means the service centre could be oriented at a comfortable height for loading product. The width of the machine is adjustable, offering a track that starts at a narrow 90 inches for spe-cialty crops but can be mechanically or hydraulically increased to 120 inches for compatibility with 30-inch row crops.
Other unique features include a re-designed, 660-gallon holding tank whose scalloped sides improve rear visibility and maximize the number of nozzles that can be seen by the operator. Boom options include a 60/80-foot boom or a 60/90-foot boom on a parallel linkage design that offers a 63-inch range of motion for pre-plant spraying and beyond.
In other words, for operators with spe-cific needs, maybe good things really can come in smaller packages.

Feed them by railAutomated feeding technology gets ready for the barn
Even tiny inconsistencies and cumu-lative small human errors can cost a farm a big amount of money. It’s
part of why automation is increasingly appealing to dairy farmers.
With robotic milking now an estab-lished technology, companies like DeLaval have set their sights on automated feeding systems. This year at the farm show, DeLaval demonstrated its new Optimat II automated feeding system. It features a feed cart suspended on an overhead rail, fed by conveyors travelling from a station-ary mixer.
The standard system requires the mixer to be loaded manually but DeLaval also offers a master option, which can load the mixer automatically using a sys-tem of augers and conveyors coming direct from storage.
Either system can be programmed to deliver feed to cows in multiple batches each day, increasing dry matter intake, feed
efficiency, overall cow health, and milk yields while reducing waste and labour.
DeLaval also demonstrated the Feed Pusher FP200, which is essentially com-prised of a curb-mounted rail that sus-pends an automated plow along the length of the feed bunk. Like the feed delivery system, the feed pusher can also
be programmed to operate several times a day, at set intervals, helping to keep a con-stant feed supply in front of the herd without the use of any extra labour.
Though not yet commercially avail-able to farmers, DeLaval plans to have both the feed pusher and Optimat sys-tems available for purchase in 2014.
DuPont FIREPutting more power in the hands of our unsung heroes
When times are good in agricul-ture, there are opportunities to spread time and wealth
and to invest in our rural communities, which is exactly what DuPont knows that farmers are doing.
What’s innovative now is the com-pany’s Funding Initiative for Rural Emergencies (FIRE), a corporate giving
program launched on July 13 this year that pledges $100,000 to rural emer-gency services in Canada. Not only does the company hope the initiative will put a spotlight on our unsung rural heroes, usually volunteers, but DuPont also believes the program will increase awareness of safe practices on the farm.
The campaign kicked off in Howick, Ont. with a simulated grain bin rescue and the first donation of $8,500 to the Howick Fire Department for an agricul-tural-based fire rescue program. The program will include training to deal with confined spaces, rope rescues, silo fires and other agricultural emergencies.
FIRE has also extended a $5,000 grant to the Petrolia and North Enniskillen Firefighters’ Association to help build an addition on its fire hall. The Dundalk Fire Department also received a $7,274 check to help with the purchase of an oxygen tank refill station.
Applications can be submitted to [email protected] and success-ful applications with be publicized through Pioneer’s Facebook page.

Featured in the Dow AgroSciences plots this year was their new weed control platform with Enlist
Duo and its corresponding trait-resis-tant corn and soybean genetics.
New Enlist herbicide offers farmers another option, particularly against hard-to-control and resistant weeds, by combining glyphosate with 2,4-D cho-line, an ammonium salt developed by Dow that is different from previous 2,4-D amine or ester formulations.
The new formulation remains as effective on weeds as previous versions, but doesn’t sacrifice any of the favour-able environmental degradation charac-teristics of 2,4-D amine or ester.
Also important, the 2,4-D in Enlist appears to be less volatile. In laboratory and small-scale field trials to test for drift to neighbouring tomatoes, grapes,
and cotton plants, the company says very little crop injury was caused by the new formation, even in simulated sce-narios that are linked to high volatility.
That could prove good news because of the way farm practices have been changing in the wake of other herbicide technologies. With the wide application windows and crop safety of Roundup Ready, for instance, more spray opera-tors have been taking advantage of the opportunity to apply herbicides in less- than-favourable conditions because in many cases, nearby crops have also been glyphosate tolerant.
It could also be good news because the addition of 2,4-D to the spray pro-gram can broaden the farm’s herbicide protection, reducing the odds that her-bicide resistance will develop.
Spraying Enlist next to a neighbour
still growing RR-only crops won’t be as forgiving as spraying Roundup alone, however, and a major component of Dow’s product release campaign is its renewed emphasis on drift reduction at the operator level. The company has committed to providing nozzle type and droplet size recommendations for Enlist, following drift studies conducted by the University of Nebraska and the University of Queensland, Australia, that demonstrated physical drift can be reduced by 90 per cent using a low-drift AIXR nozzle.
Though Enlist was approved for use in Canada last year, U.S. regulatory approval has not kept pace and has put a full prod-uct launch on hold. However, Mycogen and Hyland Seeds hope to make their new line of corn hybrids available in time for the 2014 growing season.

Next-gen seed guideDekalb’s tablet seed guide puts even more information in your hands
Farmers are demanding access to information in all sorts of new ways, particularly through digital apps. Now, Dekalb has responded by offering their seed guide though
an innovative, industry-leading new tablet application.The Dekalb Seed Guide App gives farmers access to all the tra-
ditional canola, corn, and soybean information traditionally pro-vided in a seed guide. But then it goes further, also linking to other related resources such as real-time harvest plot data, seed treatment information, and plant population and yield estimating calculators.
The app also links to the company’s YouTube channel, offer-ing agronomic advice on a variety of topics. Dekalb’s new app is available in English and French for Apple products and an Android version is in development.
Earlier this year, Ontario’s Agriculture Ministry found that farmers are embracing technology even faster than Canadians in general, with 69 per cent of farmers owning smartphones compared to 56 per cent of the general public.
Dekalb marketing manager Denise Hockaday says the digital approach to their seed guide offers farmers a resource they can carry everywhere with them, and keep clean. It also keeps infor-mation organized, and it makes the information easily compa-rable during the many fall seed sales calls, as well as remaining handy in the spring when it comes to making game-time deci-sions out in the field.
Farming with appsPioneer’s 360 series of field apps can connect individual fields to more cropping experts
The modern farmer is constantly bombarded with so much information, it’s a wonder anyone can keep it all straight. Now, Pioneer Hi-Bred has a solution some
farmers are really going to like for keeping track of all that insight.
The product is called “Field360” and it is comprised of a collection of iPad- and iPhone-compatible apps which help farmers map their fields, then link the satellite image to notes and photos. These notes and photos can then be shared with Pioneer agronomists to indicate areas of concern, or they can be converted into emails requesting recommendations from other sources.
Some of the apps in the suite, such as Field360 Notes, are free but other components, like Field 360 Select, require an annual subscription. This gives the user access to mobile live data such as precipitation and growing degree day calculations which estimate plant growth stages. When connected to the Internet, the program can automatically assign notes to the cor-rect field based on the user’s GPS co-ordinates.
The complete integration of information and instanta-neous communication feed is perhaps a futuristic preview of farming, where problem solving is a team sport that a farmer participates in from a mission control centre with just a few swipes of a finger.
Switching to switchgrassSuddenly, biomass crops are back in the news
There were more than a few farmers at Woodstock this year considering the switch to switchgrass at the biomass dem-onstration site.
Hosted by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association and the Ontario Biomass Producers Coop, the demo gave farmers a chance to discuss emerging opportunities in the biomass market. For one, mushroom producers have become dissatisfied with the straw available as modern harvesting equipment literally makes shorter work of stemmy grains. Often today’s straw breaks up far too quickly for their composting needs.
Then there are the fruit and vegetable growers who have dis-covered switchgrass as a mulch, popular among berry, carrot, and ginseng producers.
Finally, there seems to be serious potential in marketing to livestock producers who admire the consistency of weed-free switchgrass. Although it hasn’t caught on here, some U.S. dairy farms have been using this low-quality feed source to boost the fibre in their dry cow rations. In both cases, switchgrass appeals to conventional and organic producers alike.
Switchgrass is a competitively priced product in any of these markets mostly because it has such a low cost of production. It is well suited to sandy, less productive soils and requires no phospho-rus, no potassium, and very little nitrogen to be successful. With so little risk and growing reward opportunities, it’s no wonder farmers are considering the switch.

Planting through cornstalksChopper technology may not be new, but it’s definitely improved
Some readers will argue that cornstalk chopper heads aren’t really innovative. After all, choppers pre-date Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show by more than 20 years.
What has changed, though, is the steely toughness of today’s hybrids, as well as preferences in tillage practices. The big differ-ence between 1993 and today is the standability of cornstalks, along with higher rates of nitrogen application, higher plant pop-ulations and the sheer amounts of stover produced (estimated at 25 to 45 per cent more per acre than 10 years ago).
For growers, of course, one key issue remains the same. How do you plant soybeans through that residue?
That was the rationale behind the stalk chopper head demon-stration at the 2013 Outdoor Farm Show, featuring six different manufacturers showcasing their latest models. Case IH, East Can (featuring Capello) Machineries Agricole (Geringhoff), Kearney Planters (with Drago) Grecav Canada and John Deere ran their models through a cornfield, offering growers a glimpse of each unit’s capabilities. The chopper heads today, compared to those from the 1960s and ’70s, provide better ease of operation — you can turn each row unit on and off, the power requirements have been improved and they last longer with easier maintenance
New TMRs revealedEasier TMR handling promised by new products
As part of its international dealer conference, held this year at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, Jaylor launched not one, but two new product lines for dairy, beef, sheep, and
goat feed management.The new 5000 Series TMR vertical mixer and its three new
forage-handling loader attachments were revealed to the world on September 10 during the company’s three-day innovation conference. More than 80 dealers from 42 countries attended, including some from as far as Europe and the Pacific Rim.
Five years following the release of the 4000 series mixers, the 5000 series includes an upgraded frame design, stronger cast metal parts, heavier loading capabilities, new conveyor discharge options, a new low-profile twin auger model and a new patented square-cut auger. The lower-profile auger model is ideal for using with smaller skid-steer loaders, with the square-cut auger designed to reduce friction within the tub while mixing, resulting in more power savings.
Tractor attachments at Woodstock included a bale shear, silage shear and a new bale grabber. The bale shear has a large cutting arm which slices bales in half while they are being loaded into the TMR mixer, reducing mixing time and making the removal of net-ting or plastic wrap more convenient. The silage shear cuts and loads directly from the bunk face to the TMR mixer, without dis-turbing the rest of the bunk or changing buckets, improving preci-sion when measuring silage and reducing spoilage. The new bale grabber handles wrapped silage bales without damaging the sealed plastic layer and can move a 6x6 dry bale. All attachments come with a universal connector plate, making them compatible with any loader.

“Seeing is believing”seemed to be the theme at Mycogen Seeds, one of the most talked-about displays at this
year’s Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show. Although the company didn’t launch major new technologies at the show, it was innovative in communicating some old messages in creative new ways.
The first things to catch the eye were glass tanks that could almost have been dismissed as decorative planters if it weren’t for the corn and soybean plants coming out the top. These four-foot-tall “root boxes” were made with Plexiglas on some sides and offered the unusual opportunity to check out the visible dif-ferences for example between soybean
roots that had been inoculated compared to those which hadn’t.
The site also featured a “Big Dig” that allowed visitors to walk right into a three-foot trench, supported with Plexiglas walls in order to see the root structure of surrounding corn plants. The demonstra-tion clearly illustrated not only the importance of seeding depth, but also offered Mycogen agronomists the oppor-tunity to talk with farmers about deep compaction, showing them just how deep the roots of their crops are reaching.
Walking away from the site, the big comment was, this is the kind of hands-on opportunity that is ideally suited to the Outdoor Farm Show.
Getting to the root of it allMycogen’s Big Dig scores a hit at the show
Mucking out was never this coolNuhn’s Lagoon Crawler not only gets the job done, it’s a gas to use
It might be described as an amphibi-ous agitation vehicle, but watch a farmer take the controls and you’d
swear you were witnessing Christmas-come-early for schoolboys.
The Nuhn Lagoon Crawler looks like an oversized, remote-controlled dune buggy that is as functional as it is fun looking. Operated entirely wirelessly, the machine is able to drive into a liquid manure pit and float across the slurry surface, all the while stirring the layers below with seven agitator nozzles.
Four hydraulic motors propel a light-weight frame mounted on commercial pontoons in such liquid environments. On dry land, the same motors also con-trol four-wheel steering. The design is especially critical for manoeuvring the machine across the mucky bottom of a drained pit or off of sand islands that may form in a pit that has been agitated for years from the lagoon’s shores.
Should the machine get stuck on one of these islands, a hydraulic lift can raise the vehicle up to five feet above its hovering height and save the operator the messy trip of going in to dig the crawler free.
Topping off the stellar design is Nuhn’s award-winning, three-port header pump. Capable of being extended into the pit until fully submerged, it never requires priming and has been known to throw manure 100 metres when mounted on a tractor.
The crawler sips from the same power source that the rest of the vehicle relies on, a 160-horsepower Cummins diesel engine, moving more than 375,000 litres of liquid manure with every litre of diesel fuel burned.
With that much power and an eight-inch pump, Nuhn says they can cut slurry mixing time in half.
Although Nuhn is an Ontario based company, the crawlers are well suited to the five- or 10-acre dugout lagoons com-mon in Western Canada and the U.S.
Farmers there may soon be attending demos of this toy for big boys too, espe-cially with a piloting system which would enable the machine to traverse a pre-scribed route on auto-steer.

Feeding younger calvesthe new Forster system can feed calves while they’re still in individual pens
When Forster Technik’s auto-mated calf feeders first came on the market, farmers taxed
by the chore of feeding calves were over-joyed at the idea of never having to pail milk again. Unfortunately, the systems couldn’t serve calves before they were grouped… until now.
Making its North American debut, the Forster Technik Calf Rail System is an extension of the original group feeder unit and consists of a heated hose exten-sion which ends at a robotic feeder arm to service calves housed individually.
The idea behind the Calf Rail is to feed calves up to two weeks old, before they’re moved into group pens. The sys-tem works by allowing the feeder arm to
move along an overhead rail to each pen, offering a bottle-like nipple for suckling at each stop on the line.
The demonstration unit assembled at the Outdoor Farm Show serviced five adjacent pens before swivelling around and feeding the five calves on the other side of the face-to-face setup, feeding a total of 10 calves in roughly a one-hour period.
In future, Forster hopes to be able to run up to four arms from one feeder unit, with each arm capable of feeding up to 32 calves.
Like the group feeding unit, the calf rail operates unmanned. But unlike the group feeder (where calves have free access) the arm operates on a schedule programmed by the owner. Because the company still has some final program-ming to do, the unit hasn’t yet been made commercially available. Three farms have volunteered to install and
experiment with the calf rail system through to next spring to help the com-pany finalize the model with hopes that it can be made commercially available later next year.
More science in the barnAnalyzing milk chemistry puts real-time control in farmers’ hands
Although many dairy farmers track different milk parameters to help them manage their cows,
few of these parameters can actually be measured on the go on the farm, which is what makes Herd Navigator so unique.
This advanced analysis system released in Canada late last year has the ability to sample milk automatically in a parlour or robotic operation, straight from the pipeline.
Herd Navigator is the first product to be collaboratively produced by FOSS, an analytical solutions company, and DeLaval International with the faculty of a g r i c u l t u r a l s c i e n ce s a t Aa r hu s University and the Danish Cattle Federation. During milking, the system collects samples from different milking points and sends them, one by one, to the analyser instrument. The system automatically selects which cows to sam-ple, at which milking session, and for which parameters.
There are four different components in the mi lk which are analyzed. Progesterone is measured for heat detec-tion, identifying pregnancies, abortions, cysts, and anoestrus. Lactate dehydroge-nase (LDH) indicates clinical and sub-clinical mastitis. Urea levels are used to evaluate nutrition (specifically protein consumption) and can offer recommen-dations for real-time feed ration adjust-ments. Beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB) works as an indicator of ketosis and sec-ondary metabolic disorders.
Together, the information collected from the four focus areas can offer whole-herd heat detection, and an increase in pregnancy rates. Plus, it can eliminate physical pregnancy checks, as well as reduce treatment costs thanks to early disease detection. The system also aims to prevent milk losses caused by mastitis, improve feed efficiency and reduce feed costs.

Simply innovativeMF says that sometimes the best innovations make things simpler, not more complex
With the potential to build so much complexity into today’s farm equipment, innovations
with a keep-it-simple engineering philoso-phy still win favour with farmers. At least, that’s a strategy that Massey Ferguson seems to be banking on.
As the Massey Ferguson 9500 Series combines moved into full production this year, the focus is largely on features that are designed to be both simple and effec-tive. By changing the engine configura-tion so that it’s now in line with the rotor, for instance, the new series achieves a more efficient transfer of power. The company says this one innovation leads to as much as a 20 per cent increase in capacity and an equal increase in fuel effi-ciency when compared to older models.
The series is also equipped with the simplified and more efficient cooling sys-tem featured last year, where airflow is drawn through an unrestricted V-shape directly to the engine air intake, air condi-tioning, and hydraulic system units.
Now, 2013 models also come guidance ready for all auto-steer systems, not just the company’s favoured Topcon System 150. In an industry where high-tech solu-tions sometimes leave farmers in a field of confusion, attention to simplicity does indeed stand out.
One of the few things people working in all sectors of the agri-culture industry tend to agree on
is that the average Canadian doesn’t know nearly enough about where their food comes from.
Innovative progress is being made, however. For instance, although most exhibitors and attendees may not have noticed, the Outdoor Farm Show was providing high school students with a real education in modern agriculture, thanks to Ontario Agri-Food Education Inc (OAFE).
Over 300 teenagers from Woodstock, Ridgetown, Petrolia, Caledonia and
Guelph were led by OAFE teacher ambas-sadors through the show as part of a cur-riculum-based program which highlighted technology and innovation in the indus-try as well as the possibility of great career opportunities.
In its third year at the show, the OAFE program specifically focused on water use, local food and horticulture, and it honoured the show’s anniversary with a review of industry advances from the last 20 years.
The teacher ambassadors working with the students are part of another pro-gram initiated by OAFE in early 2012 which offers recent graduates from teach-
ing colleges the opportunity to gain class-room experience by teaching an ag based curriculum. The program has attracted energetic and enthusiastic young people, many with little to no personal experience with agriculture, and it uses them to encourage their more experienced peers to make better use of the subject matter in their own classrooms.
By travelling around to Grade 4 to Grade 12 classrooms and teaching curric-ulum-linked, one-hour lessons to stu-dents, free of charge (since OAFE pays for the program’s expenses), these ambassa-dors offer students fresh new material on little known agricultural topics.

Farmers at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show (COFS) often get the chance to see new technology in action
before investing in it, which plays an important role in choosing the equip-ment that best meets their needs.
In particular, at the sprayer clinic dur-ing the 2013 COFS, they got a chance to see six different twin-fan nozzles from three different manufacturers being put through their paces in a coverage trial on soybeans.
Leading spray tips from TeeJet Industries, Greenleaf Technologies and HyPro-EU Ltd. were compared in the West Demo Field during the clinic led by Saskatchewan-based Tom Wolf, a scien-tist specializing in spray application technology.
“Twin-fan nozzles are a good option for fungicides and insecticides in soy-beans because they can direct sprays at parts of the canopy that are difficult for conventional nozzles to reach,” says Wolf.
Applications from a twin-fan nozzle are able to coat more of the plant because the spray is delivered from different direc-tions. Compared to a conventional nozzle, the twin-fan setup is better at reaching stems and leaves obscured by higher levels of the canopy.
Some disadvantages to using twin-fan tips include greater complexity, smaller openings that can become blocked more easily, and in some cases more drift potential. Different models address these issues differently. There are a good num-ber of choices available for farmers who want to match th eir own needs with what the nozzle offers.
Wolf says no formal comparison of the tips was made during the COFS clinic, but attendees were able to observe and compare the nozzles for themselves. Water-sensitive paper was used to show how well different nozzles covered crops.
“The twin-fan nozzles all performed well, and their deposits were somewhat greater than the single fan,” says Wolf. “It was a bit breezy during the demos, and sprays tended to deposit with wind direc-tion regardless of the tip design. The noz-zles that produced the coarsest spray deposited on both sides of the target
regardless of wind direction, but only large droplets deposited against the wind. Lowering boom heights helped the noz-zles work better.”
Twin-fan nozzles are commonly used to treat fusarium head blight in wheat and have been around for years, but new asymmetric versions are just being intro-duced. Both symmetrical and asymmetri-cal nozzles were compared at COFS, and the John Deere 4830 Sprayer that was used in the demonstration was supplied by Can-East Equipment Ltd.
The sprayer clinics are learning oppor-tunities and valuable “shop and compare” experiences for interested buyers.
“The show has always brought new technology to farmers to help with pur-chase decisions,” says Paul Roper, COFS exhibitor sales and demo co-ordinator. “Both the sprayer clinic and the new bale-wrapping demo let attendees see differences and benefits for each before investing.”
Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show was held on September 10, 11, 12, 2013 and hosted over 750 exhibitors and 42,900 attendees. Next year, the show will be held on September 9, 10 and 11. The popular Sprayer Clinic will return with a fresh topic for next year’s audience.
“The show has always brought new technology to
farmers to help with purchase decisions.”
