Anderson family wins stewardship award
February 20, 2015 - Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO) is pleased to announce that Chad and Debbie Anderson, owners of Mooregrove Farms in Mooretown, Ontario, are the 2015 winners of The Environmental Stewardship Award (TESAward), sponsored by the RBC Royal Bank. The Anderson's were nominated by the Lambton Cattlemen's Association, and the Award was presented to the couple at the Beef Farmers of Ontario Annual General Meeting in Toronto recently. Mooregrove Farms, a fifth generation operation, consists of 350 acres of which 200 acres are in permanent hay and pasture. Using a rotational grazing system with exceptional pasture management, Mooregrove Farms pastures a herd of 125 cows along with breeding 20 replacement heifers each year. For over a decade, the Anderson's have demonstrated their commitment to the implementation of environmental improvements by increasing permanent pasture acres, establishing a designated wetland, installing structures and fencing to prevent contamination of surface water, adding grassed buffer strips along crop land, and planting trees as windbreaks. Grasslands provide tremendous environmental benefits from improving water infiltration, reducing erosion, carbon sequestration, all the way to encouraging a healthy wildlife and pollinator habitat," says Chad. Over time we have really come to value the knowledge and support of everyone who has helped us find solutions to different problems, and who have provided some wonderful guidance along the way. Chad and Debbie have accessed a number of programs and enlisted the help of industry organizations to aid them in their management decisions and environmental improvements. Utilizing these programs has allowed them to gain access to funding resources, knowledge and assistance. Most recently, the Anderson's undertook a perimeter and cross-fencing project through support of the Species at Risk Farm Incentive Program administered by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association. "The fencing improvements, coupled with the re-seeding of pasture to improve grassland forage quality, will strengthen the grassland production capacity, and provide the Anderson's with the opportunity to control grazing pressure at critical times of the year that are best suited to provide a nesting habitat for grassland bird species." shares Andrew Graham, Director of Operations, Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association. In the future, the Anderson's would like to investigate a better approach to manure management, look at ways to increase permanent grassland acreages within their farm properties, and consider the option of producing grass-fed beef. "Being an environmental advocate and using conventional farming practices in new ways to improve their operation not only for today, but for future generations proves that the Anderson's are committed to environmental sustainability and conservation," says Ralph Eyre, President of the Lambton Cattlemen's Association. TESAward recognizes the outstanding environmental stewardship of an Ontario beef farmer. Special consideration is given to farmers who have taken innovative approaches to environmentally sustainable beef production.

SIMPLE things like retaining stubble or even putting out nitrogen fertiliser on wheat crops are taken for granted in todays farming systems.
But there was a time, not that long ago in relative terms, when the no-till and minimum till practices used by close to 90 per cent of Australian croppers in some fashion was a revolutionary, risky idea.
One of the first proponents of no-till practices in the country was agronomist Peter Ridge, who worked in the Wimmera region as one of the first private agronomists in the mid 1980s.
Following a stint with the Victorian Department of Agriculture, Mr Ridge said one of his major focuses when he went out on his own was to work to improve water use efficiency.
We used to use neutron probes to monitor soil moisture reserves and it was pretty clear there were better results in systems incorporating stubble retention, Mr Ridge, who now lives in Corowa, NSW, said.
This field research backed up work we had done at the Department that pointed that stubble retention also retained moisture.
It was worth an extra 50-60 millimetres a year compared to traditional cultivated paddocks.
Mr Ridge said the initial work in Australia followed research out of North America showing good promise with no-till systems.
There was also a lot of work being done in Queensland, where researchers were primarily looking at managing high volumes of water during big rainfall events by having standing crop residue.
But while researchers were optimistic of its benefits, there had only been very sporadic uptake by Australia farmers.

With a few simple steps, you can refashion the fence or outdoor furniture these holidays.
SMART: Dark colours are on trend for exteriors and fences. Photo: DULUX.
Unpainted or weatherworn fences, retaining walls or wooden outdoor furniture pieces can ruin the look of even the most polished garden and outdoor living area.
A few coats of paint can rejuvenate your timber pieces and save you the expense of purchasing new products. And choosing the right colour for your timber fence or outdoor setting need not be arduous, says leading colour trend forecaster Andrea Lucena-Orr.
Andrea, Duluxs colour expert, says theres a trend towards darker colour schemes for exterior fences.
Popular trim colours of past years have traditionally been the standard safe option for home owners. We are now seeing increases in darker schemes in the neutrals shades, earthy greens and deep greys, which create a lovely backdrop, Andrea says.
Darker colours are becoming increasingly popular with fences, which follows on from the popularity of darker exterior colour schemes for the home. Deeper colours can accentuate beautiful natural foliage colours, making your garden the key feature.
Another trend is to feature brighter accent colours with exterior furniture and pool sidewalls, she says.
Poolside retreats are casual and fun outdoor living spaces. Bright and playful colours can reflect the perfect poolside vibe. A hot pink wall, with furniture in a contrasting colour, set off with your favourite greenery, will quickly transform your poolside space into your tropical sanctuary, Andrea says.

When Enda Bolgers Gilgamboa won his first two races over fences, he shaped as a real star of the future, says Pat Keane.
When Enda Bolgers Gilgamboa won his first two races over fences, he shaped as a real star of the future.
Gilgamboa began with a smooth success at Navan, but it was his subsequent display at Limerick at Christmas that marked him down as a horse with a real chance of going right to the top.
I have to admit to allowing myself to be a trifle carried away with that performance and gave the seven-year-old a solid chance against Un De Sceaux in the Arkle at Leopardstown last month. Such poor judgement, on a consistent basis, would surely see any punter on the breadline sooner rather than later.
Gilgamboa went to Leopardstown as a quite brilliant jumper, but banged into the fifth last. After that, he was always on the back foot, eventually struggling home 15 lengths and half a length third behind Un De Sceaux and Clarcam-in a three-horse affair.
One assumed the error was the cause of what was a seriously tame effort and that Gilgamboa, with no Un De Sceaux to worry about, would set the record straight next time.
And so he reappeared at Navan last Sunday, going off a 4-9 shot to beat three rivals, in a Grade 2.
But, horror of horrors, the horse that looked so talented over flights, and in his first two outings over fences, had literally disappeared.
When he won at Limerick there was a captivating electricity about Gilgamboa. His enthusiasm for the game and the way he attacked and bounded across obstacles was a joy to behold.
But it was all gone at Navan. His jumping, at least on occasions, lacked fluency and he came off the bridle so far out that it was difficult to fathom.
