Buffalograss is a unique plant found in the Estevan Area
Calling all Estevan area landowners: you may have a unique plant hiding in your pasture! Buffalograss (Buchloe dactyloides) is a rare plant that is found in only two places in Canada: the Estevan area and in Manitoba. It grows in native pastures with shaley-clay soil, dry gumbo flats, or shallow coulee bottoms. It looks similar to blue grama or eyebrow grass (Bouteloua gracilis), but has above-ground runners (stolons) and separate male and female plants.

3 generations of the Cross Family: Allan and Julie with their son Ward, wife Crystal and children Kaitlyn and Austyn
By: Darcie Thom
Last year the Moose Mountain Rural Development Council (RDC) held a contest for the ‘Farm Family of the Year’. The recipients, The Vargo Brothers, were nominated because of their continued hard work and loyalty to their family farm.
Cool temperatures continued to delay crop development across the Prairies last week. Temperatures were three to five degrees below normal across most of the region. The cool temperatures were accompanied by moderate heavy rains with the heaviest amounts (50-100mm) falling in southern growing regions. Northern regions received light, scattered precipitation with amounts from 10-20mm.
Important requirements for delivering grain: Farmers must have an active CWB permit to book and delivery contract signed up before they can receive a cash ticket for grain delivered to an elevator in 2008-09. Cash tickets will only be issued to producers with an active CWB permit book and delivery contract signed up. Farmers can renew their permit book at the elevator or online through CWB e-Services. To sign up for CWB e-Services, visit www.cwb.ca/public/cn/e-services/register/ .
The Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) will send farmers a final payment of $50.781 per tonne for the feed barley they delivered to Pool A during the 2007/08 crop year. Cheques will be mailed to farmers on June 27, 2008 or directly deposited on June 24, 2008. The Pool A feed barley pool ran from August 24, 2007 to January 31, 2008. This final payment represents the balance of the money owing to farmers after their feed barley has been marketed through the CWB, and after operating costs have been deducted.

Cancer is a burden, an infestation of disease, that doesn’t care who it hurts. It does not discriminate; it attacks all races, ages and sex. We have no way of killing it without killing a part of ourselves and there are no friendly ways to ask it to go away.

Sometime during the weekend of May 3rd and 4th, the Redvers Activity Centre’s greenhouse was vandalized. Vandals threw a rock into the side of the plastic canvas wall, causing a hole and an unsustainable environment for the flowers that are grown inside. The Activity Centre grows flowers for the community flowerbeds and gardens, which are now at risk of dying.

Sagal left his family without any clue as to where he went or why.

Endangered Lady’s SlipperMissing in Saskatchewan since 1895: the Small White Lady’s Slipper
The Small White Lady’s Slipper (Cypripedium candidum) is a rare orchid historically found in Saskatchewan and has been missing since its last recorded occurrence somewhere near Indian Head in 1895. “This plant takes 13 years to mature and produce a flower, so conservation of its habitat is crucial” says Sarah Vinge of Nature Saskatchewan’s Rare Plant Rescue program. “Landowners and naturalists are needed to watch for this species in the spring. There may still be populations of this plant in the Qu’Appelle Valley, from Indian Head to the Manitoba border or possibly along the Pipestone Creek. The hope is that by creating awareness about the status of the Small White Lady’s Slipper, someone may find this plant and will call-in to report the sighting.” Currently, the closest known population of this species to Saskatchewan is near Brandon, Manitoba.
