Welcome to the 17th annual Pacifi c Agriculture Show

The Pacific Agriculture Show continues to grow in size and reputa-tion and is by far the largest and most important agricultural event in the province. It is widely considered one of the best Ag Shows in North Amerca. We presently have 275+ exhibiting companies with over 50 companies on the waitlist to exhibit. If Tradex was twice as big I am certain that we could fill it.

People have never been more interested in food - how it’s grown and where it comes from. The Pac Ag Show allows visitors to see the entire industry and the closed loop economy that goes into the

producing the food that we often take for granted at the supermarket.The fact that the world will need 70 per cent more food by 2050 puts Canada in

a position to benefit from this growing demand. Agriculture is an important, sus-tainable and incredibly strong, often under-valued contributor to a healthy econo-my and is an important part of every community. The suppliers to all the commodi-ties are well represented at the Show.

Please enjoy the Show, and if you bring the kids - they can check out the antique farm equipment museum, the popular Aldor Acres petting zoo and learn more about agriculture at the Ag More Than Ever booth.

17TH ANNUAL

PACIFIC AGRICULTURE SHOW


A look into the future of farmingThe Pacific Agriculture Show (PacAg

Show) since its inception 17 years ago has always placed a strong emphasis on innovation. Equipment displays often give farmers a look into the future with recent developments that could further enhance the leading edge BC farmers have enjoyed over the years.

This year University of the Fraser Val-ley (UFV) representatives will be at the PacAg Show to outline their plan for the future which incorporates agricultural education with technology training. Al-ready a committee has formulated a plan looking ten years ahead which will create

an Agricultural Centre of Excellence in Chilliwack to shape future farms. Working in concert with Chilliwack’s Economic Partners Corporation and the Federal and Provincial governments, the collaborative effort together with the financial support of Envision Credit Union resulted in construction of a new demonstration barn and a ‘forward-look-ing’ state-of-the-art greenhouse. In these new facilities, students are involved in hands-on training in a variety of horti-cultural and livestock courses.

UFV personnel will be on location at this year’s trade show to answer any

questions visitors may have about UFV’s future plan to become the primary train-ing institute in BC.

Today’s high powered farm tractors must be equipped with the new Tier IV low emissions engine mandated by the federal government.

Avenue Machinery Corp. will display their tractor models equipped with the Tier IV engine plus a full line of related equipment from Kubota, Massey Fer-guson and Fendt this year. Kubota will introduce a new more powerful tractor to its lineup that will compliment Kubo-ta’s extensive lineup and should meet farmer’s demands. Another new product to be seen for the first time will be a new skid-steer loader that should draw a lot of interest among poultry farmers. Kubota has also bought out Kverneland and will display their array of haying equipment including rakes and balers, and in the future a lineup of plows.

Rollins Machinery Ltd. will display their new New Holland T8, 410hp tractor designed to meet the demand for bigger tractors that can handle the heavy equipment hauls on today’s farms. Sales Manager Bevan Jones says there is a trend towards larger and more power-ful tractors. In line with the requirement that new heavy duty tractors must meet new low emission standards, the T8 is equipped with the new T4B Tier IV engine. Also on display will be the new Tempo Corn Planter and a new disc mower which has a thirteen-foot cut.

Interested visitors to the Rollins location can also check out the Boomer series of quiet and efficient smaller horsepower tractors

Matsqui Ag Repair also has a signif-icant lineup of tractors and other farm equipment geared for today’s and to-morrow’s industry requirements. In their display the company features McCor-mick tractors, including the advanced GM55 adaptable in size for use by all farmers with power ranges from 55 to 165hp. Matsqui Ag Repair also sell the popular Deutz-Fahr and Kioti line of tractors with machines designed for use by berry growers. You will also find an excellent range of other equipment on display built by Kuhn and Club Cadet, as well as the popular McHale wrappers for use in storing silage. The plastic wrapped forage can be seen on many BC farms today.

Prairie Coast Equipment, a John Deere dealer, will have their Integrat-ed Solutions Management team at the show to talk to farmers about the range of systems like GPS that are available today. As well expect to see the Mid-night Black Special Edition ATV, the new 7250R model tractor equipped with a 50kph variable speed transmission. Also featured will be the narrow tractors specifically designed for berry growers’ needs, as well as the Rears Sprayer.

Alberta. They sell and service their pop-ular line of lawn and garden tractors as well as the larger horse powered tractors favored by many dairy farmers in the Fraser Valley. John Deere has remained in the forefront with their line of special-ized equipment designed for today and future needs.

Caliber Equipment Ltd. Is owned and operated by Aaron and George Dick, both dairy farmers who operate a 250 cow dairy. They know and understand the needs of farmers and sell a line of Case IH, Claas, and Kioti farm equip-ment. They have a keen eye open to the future knowing that the capital required to get established in farming can be overwhelming. Looking to the future large farms are likely to get bigger calling for larger and more powerful equipment. This trend demands dealers market the right equipment. Caliber prides itself on not only selling quality farm equipment but having the servicing experience to help farmers maintain it.

Handler’s Equipment Ltd. is your Mahindra tractor dealer. Mahindra’s mCRD technology is the direct result of a $30-million investment to redesign and engineer the new Tier IV engines. The company has created a turnkey solution without utilizing a Diesel Particulate

Filter (DPF). The new Mahindra engines provide a simple solution and reduce gas emissions by over 360 tons per year, and still help to Push More, Pull More, and Lift More. At this year’s PacAg Show Handler’s Equipment will show off three models of their lineup of tractors; the 36hp Cab Tractor; the 26hp tractor with loader and backhoe; and a 40hp tractor equipped with a loader.

West Coast Robotics has become the number one supplier of robotic milk-ing equipment in the Fraser Valley. This year they are introducing Vector, their feeding robot. It is equipped with a one ton feed mixer and can han-dle grass, or corn, or potatoes or any-thing else that constitutes a meal for the cows. It is a programmable robot, very flexible and will operate 24/7. The inputs that Vector can handle include the type of feed, whether for milking cows or for heifers, and will feed the cows at whatev-er times of the day or night that farmers

want their animals fed. Also on display at the PacAg Show will be a Lely A4 robotic milker. Brian Rodenburg invites dairy farmers who are thinking of converting their milking operations to robots to stop by their location. Rodenburg and his staff will be pleased to explain why they claim the Lely robot is the least ex-

pensive way to milk and feed your herd robotically.

Farm financing is much easier to obtain today primarily because of low long term interest rates and extended re-payment terms. While this augers well, financ-

ing future farm operations is a decision that requires a workable business plan and careful planning to manage the financing and to provide a return on the investment of today’s farmer. The PacAg Show has seven financial organizations all eager discuss these needs.

Farm Credit Canada is a major sponsor of the Pacific Agriculture Show.

FCC is also Canada’s largest agriculture lender. FCC provides financing, insur-ance, software, and learning programs for producers, agri-businesses and agri-food operations. FCC’s chief agriculture economist feels Canadian agriculture is more resilient and ready to take on new future opportunities in 2015 than ever before. Stop by the FCC location at the PacAg Show where staff are ready to discuss your future financial needs in a highly competitive market.

Bank of Montreal, Envision Financial, TD Canada Trust Ag Services, RBCRoy-al Bank, Scotiabank, will all be staffed with knowledgeable personnel who can provide conventional farmers, organic farmers, and the many other growers and producers with up to date financing information. Because of high land costs and huge investments needed to become a successful farmer, it is critical that farm operations today have a solid and man-ageable financial plan in place the PacAg Show provides those in the farming business or those intending to become farmers an opportunity to explore the many financial options offered by these financial organizations.

With over two-hundred exhibits and information booths, the PacAg Show is a one-stop location for farmers and others in the agriculture and agri-food industries.

UFV's new Agriculture Centre of

Excellence now open

Why study agriculture?Graduates of UFV Agriculture pro-

grams are among the most employable graduates in the field across Canada. The variety of careers are vast, with a tremen-dous diversity among career paths.

Graduates of our programs are in high demand, with many job placements even prior to graduation.Why study agriculture at UFV?

UFV’s Agriculture program prepares you for entry into the dynamic world of agriculture. Due to our favourable cli-mate and proximity to some of the most fertile land in Canada, the opportunities

for wonderful field trips and interaction with a wide host of local agricultural and horticultural businesses and organiza-tions is tremendous. To serve our stu-dents and the agriculture industry, our programs combine theory and principles with practical training in horticulture, in-tegrated pest management and livestock production. While studying at UFV, you will be getting valuable hands-on train-ing in our state of the art production and laboratory facilities.What type of career can I expect?

Career Opportunities in Horticulture:For those with education and practical

skills, career opportunities in agriculture are excellent. UFV agriculture graduates are successful in finding jobs throughout the horticulture industry.

They find employment in greenhous-es, golf courses and landscaping compa-nies, as grounds maintenance personnel and as technicians with various levels of government. Others find careers in the agri-business sector in marketing, sales, and service. Some graduates return to family-owned enterprises or start their own small business.

Qualified graduates of the diploma option in horticulture are eligible to ladder into the Bachelor of Business Administration for Agriculture Man-agement program at UFV, or transfer to Olds College in Alberta where they will receive transfer credit towards a Bachelor of Science degree in applied horticulture technology.

Career opportunities in livestock:UFV agriculture graduates have

excellent success in finding jobs in the livestock sector as well as in more general agricultural industries. Sample livestock related occupation include dairy farm manager or owner/operator, dairy herd-sperson, artificial insemination special-ist, ranch hand, sale representative for livestock-related supplies, government livestock and forage technician, swine-herd production assistant, and poultry producers.

Career opportunities in integrated pest management (IPM):

People with IPM training are needed by the horticulture industry to identi-fy and assess pest problems, and help to recommend and help to implement management programs. Career opportu-nities in IPM for qualified applicants are expected to increase over the next several years.

Graduates may find work as IPM field scouts in nurseries, greenhouses, or for field crop and/or orchard operations. Graduates may work directly for growers, for IPM consulting firms, or as techni-cians in various government research programs.What will I learn in the programs?

Horticulture Crop Production and Protection options:

Graduates of the one-year Horticul-ture Crop Production and Protection certificate program will be qualified to seek work as competent assistants in field crop production, in government, as technicians, in greenhouses, nursery greenhouses, garden centres, landscape companies and in grounds maintenance. Some graduates start their own business-es.

The one-year Horticulture Crop Production and Protection certificate transfers completely to the two-year Agriculture Technology diploma, Horti-culture Crop Production and Protection option. Some credits may also transfer to other two-year programs in horticul-

to ensure that course se-lections fulfill graduation requirements. If you are not enrolled in the regular full-time sequence, you are especially urged to consult with the Agricul-ture department head before registering each semester.

In the fall semester, courses all run at the Chilliwack campus for 15 weeks. The winter semester courses run at the Chilliwack campus for 12 weeks, then all quali-fied one-year certificate and diploma students complete a three-week practicum course (AGRI 192 or 292) at selected host farms/businesses throughout the Fraser Valley. Students must have reliable transportation for the practicum work placements. All practica are done without remu-neration.

All programs require some mandatory work, where students must

spend time on campus outside of regular class hours on practical work projects associated with course work. Students may also be required to participate, occasionally, in setting up and staffing educational displays on agriculture for the general public. Students may be required to attend some local indus-try short courses at their own expense. Class field trips are mandatory, unless students are other-wise advised. These may be held outside of regularly sched-uled classes, includ-ing Saturdays, and some expenses may be incurred by students.

For all programs, a GPA of 2.0, or the permission of the department head, is required for students who wish to register in a subsequent semester. An overall GPA of 2.0 with a minimum grade of pass in all courses is required for

graduation.Auditing students: Stu-

dents who decide to audit a course in the Agricul-ture Technology depart-ment must make their decision known at least 30 days before the end of

classes. Auditing students may be required to com-plete course assignments. Auditing a course will not, however, satisfy gradua-tion requirements. How much will it cost?

See the Fees and Other Costs section. In addition to tuition fees, you should

budget approximate-ly $1,500 annually for textbooks, field trips, and other expenses related to the practica.

It’s also worth a visit to the UFV financial aid and awards office, which

facilitates the disburse-ment each year of about $12 million in federal and provincial student loans, grants, bursaries, scholar-ships, and awards to UFV students. Anything else I need to know?

Applicants with allergies to dust, pollen, or animal dander should be wary of entering this program. Students should have a strong desire for hands-on work with plants or animals, and be willing to work outside, often in in-clement weather. Reason-able physical condition is recommended as students will be asked to partici-pate in tasks that involve standing, lifting, bending and turning.

Note: While the Com-position Placement Test (CPT) is not necessary for applying to this program, it is a prerequisite for CMNS 125, one of the

required program courses. See the course description for CMNS 125 for other ways to meet the prereq-uisites. Students who plan to take the CPT should do so at least a month before they register for CMNS

125.Students having

English as a sec-ond language must meet UFV language proficiency stan-dards in advance of admission to the department. Students needing ESL courses to upgrade their lan-guage skills may do so through the ESL department. Early application to the ag-riculture program is essential in order for

the language assessment exam to be administered.

Students entering the one-year certificate and two-year diploma pro-grams are expected to be computer literate. This means knowing how to run programs from a Windows environment, and having basic inter-net, word processing, and spreadsheet skills. Those who do not have these skills are advised to take an introductory computer course before they begin their studies in agricul-ture.

If you do not have the required entrance courses, you may obtain informa-tion from UFV on the availability of preparatory courses. Mature students lacking recent prepara-tion are advised to consult with the agriculture department head about refresher courses in math, biology, and reading and

study skills, etc., well in advance of the program start date.

You must have your own transportation and appro-priate clothing, including steel-toed workboots, and are required to participate in on-the-job training at host farm/business sites without remuneration. To qualify for on-the-job training (practicum), you must be enrolled in the program full-time, with a minimum grade of pass in all the current semester’s course work.

Students must bring a fully filled out Field Trip Waiver form with them on their first day of classes. Please download this doc-ument and carefully fill out all fields. If you are 18 years of age or under, this document must be filled out by your legal guard-ian. Failure to provide this form on the first day of class will prevent you from participating in required field trips.Can I speak with some-one about my options?

Yes! We want to hear from you. If you’re unsure of your direction, contact us at 1-888- 504-7441 Ext: 2813, or email [email protected], or phone Student Services at 1-888-504-7441 to arrange a tour, attend a Becoming a Student info session, connect with an educa-tional advisor, or arrange for career counselling. We look forward to hearing from you!

17TH ANNUAL


“Is there going to be a correc-tion?” With the financial crisis of 2008/09 still fresh in people’s minds, and the media forever

warning that the sky is falling, we don’t blame investors for ask-ing. But it’s the wrong question.

The right question is, “How am I going to react when the inevitable corrections arrive?” The answer needs to be, “I’m not going to do anything or I’m going to buy more.”

If that is not the answer, then you should work with your investment advisor to adjust the asset mix in your portfolio to reduce volatility and minimize the chance of panic. The right asset mix is different for every-one, and it’s important that you get it right so that you have the conviction to hold great busi-nesses through the good times and bad.

Far too many people think that investment riches are achieved by jumping in and out

of the market and switching between stocks and sectors. We do not fault people for thinking that way because the investment industry and the media are constantly reinforcing the idea that you have to react to every breaking development. But that is not the case.

You do not get rich in the

stock market by trying to out-smart other investors and sec-ond-guessing market action in the short-term. Both are simply too hard to achieve and we are not aware of anyone who is con-sistently good at it. The world’s wealthy got rich by owning good businesses over the long run. Good businesses grow and

compound value internally, and the rising tide of intrinsic value ultimately accrues to patient, long-term investors.

The unfortunate reality is that the human race is not very good at processing and reacting to short-term developments. It’s very easy to say “buy low and sell high,” but it is human nature

to do the opposite – to buy high and sell low – as people are tempted to chase hot stocks and dump the laggards.

The average investor does poorly because his or her emo-tional reaction to volatility leads to poorly timed buy and sell de-cisions. Richard Bernstein, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Richard Bernstein Advisors, highlighted the depressing reality by com-paring the investment perfor-mance of the average investor to the performance of roughly 20 asset classes and sub-asset classes (refer to the chart on this page).

For the 20-year period ended December 2013, the average U.S. investor achieved an annual return of just 2.5% and un-derperformed every asset class or sub-asset class except Asian Emerging Markets and Japan. The average investor could have achieved a better result by rolling three-month T-bills. Over the same 20-year period,

Investors ask the wrong question

17TH ANNUAL


Staying with a long-term plan is key

the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond earned 5.5% per year while the U.S. equity benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, compounded at an annual rate of more than 9%.

Volatility is a fact of life in the stock market. The chart on page 14 highlights the range of in-ter-year gains and losses for the broadly based U.S. S&P 500 In-dex, with the blue or grey bars indicating the closing level for each year. Since World War II, there have been 176 corrections

of 5% or more, which averages about 2½ per year. So far, there have been two corrections of that magnitude in 2014 – about normal. We can guarantee that there will be more corrections. We just can’t tell you when.

Investors who accept volatility do well, while those who try to anticipate it invariably do poorly. The interesting and unusual thing about the current stock market cycle is that investors are not throwing caution to the wind as the bull market ages. Despite significant stock market

gains, investors have been biting their nails the whole way up. As highlighted in the chart below, investors have been net sellers of equity mutual funds for almost the entire rally. That’s a shame, given that the Canadian and U.S. equity benchmarks have more than doubled and tripled from their respective lows in March 2009.

The Odlum Brown Model Portfolio has grown almost 19 fold, or 15.9% compounded annually, over almost 20 years. We didn’t achieve that record by

jumping in and out of the market. In fact, we have never made a call to sit on the sidelines in cash while waiting for a correction and buying opportunity. We probably never will. We achieved our track record by owning good or great busi-nesses through good times and bad. Rather than trying to time the market, we are disci-plined about the price we pay for stocks, and shift emphasis over time to those stocks and sectors with the best relative value. To do better than the average investor and reach your retirement goals, it’s important to stop fearing corrections and accept them as a market real-ity. The formula for achieving investment success is really quite simple: (1) develop a long-term plan with an appropriate mix of stocks and bonds; (2) buy quality businesses at reasonable prices; (3) ignore the short-term noise;

and (4) stick to the plan.The Odlum Brown Model Portfo-

lio was established on December 15, 1994 with a hypothetical investment of $250,000. Trades are made using the closing price on the day a change is announced.
