With huge leaps in technol-ogy in the agriculture busi-ness, the 27th annual Peace Country Classic Agri-Show will be bigger than ever.
This year’s event will host 230 exhibitors – about 40 more than last year, and the event will also see some new additions to attract a crowd.
Artcetera will showcase Peace Country country-west-ern art with 15 booths, includ-ing paintings, photography and jewelry.
The show also will see a return of Elevator Row.
“We’ve got all the chemical and seed companies partici-pating...it’s been many years since we’ve seen them in the show,” said show president, Dave Martin.
With the industry seeing steady, high prices from cat-
tle to grain, Martin said the there’s optimism when look-ing towards the future.
Seminars are also available to attend, including GPS pre-cision land management.
“Precision farming has changed dramatically in the last five years, to the point where most swathers sold are sold with GPS, most combines have GPS, and most tractors from a 140 horsepower up are GPS equipped,” Martin said.
Wi t h G P S t e c h n o l o g y , machines can dr ive in a straight line accurate to a half-an-inch for multiple passes.
“Precision farming has made it so the operator in the tractor – or in a combine or swather – can actually pay attention to what’s going on around him because he no longer has to drive the unit.”
Martin said without pre-cision farming, farmers, on average, are only accurate to
20 inches, and said redundant passes can add up on a 6,000-acre farm.
Prescription farming is also on the horizon for Peace Country farmers.
“They’ll be able to adjust their fertilizers on the go,” he said. “With ground map-ping, they’ll be able to apply fertilizer in areas where it’s needed, and reduce fertilizer where they don’t need it.”
Technology has come so far in the last five years, said Mar-tin and it won’t be long before tractors drive themselves entirely.
“Pretty soon, the tractor will drive in the field while they’ll sitting at their office desk in their house.”
The Agri-Show is geared towards those in the industry looking to see what’s available in the marketplace, and prod-ucts and services of all things agriculture will be showcas-
ing wares.“They’re there in a non-
invasive way, people are able to see what’s going on, they won’t cornered by salespeo-ple...and they can see what’s being offered.”
T h e g e n e r a l p u b l i c i s
encouraged to come to see what’s going on in the indus-try, if nothing other than to see the physical size of the machines.
“One of these new super combines is the largest in the world. It’s the equivalent of
three built five years ago.”“The size of the machinery
is just incredible.”The show is held at Ever-
green Park on March 8,9, and 10, and admission is free.

The up-and-coming Peace Country Classic Agri-Show will be a good opportunity
for local 4-H Beef Club mem-bers to practise up for their annual achievement days.
The show, which is also open to non 4-H members, will feature a variety of dem-
onstrations and important skills that children can learn from.
Registered children will h ave t he oppor t u n it y to judge four classes of animals, including cattle and horses.
“The judging portion of it is for the 4-H Clubs,” said Lor-rie Beck, Kleskun 4-H Beef Club leader. “They judge four animals and put their place on a card and explain why they’ve put them in certain orders and learn that way. It’s preparing them to be judges some day.”
There will also be animal grooming demonstrations, where children will learn the proper grooming technique.
T h e r e w i l l a l s o b e a n opportunity for children to have their animals judged.
“I think it’s a really good benefit for the youth,” said Beck. “For the 4-H members that have beef projects it’s a good opportunity for them to take out their projects. Kind of like a practice run for their year end achievement day.”
Beck has three children; each child will present a steer project. Two of them also have a heifer project.
“It’s also a good exposure for the animals to get out so achievement day isn’t such a big scary thing for them as well.”
Participants for the animal show do not need to belong to 4-H Club.
T he on ly requ i rements are that they have heifers or steers.
“They have to be b r o k e t o l e a d a n d to b e c on-trollable to b e s h o w n around t he ba r n,” s a id L i nd a Ogden, who is orga n i z-ing the livestock events.
The final tally for partici-
pants is rising, she said.“It sounds like there are
quite a few kids interested in the judging portion and quite a few are interested in bring-ing in their animals,” Ogden said.
United Farmers of Alberta will host its annual petting zoo during t he t hree-day show.
The Peace Country Clas-sic Agri-Show will take place from March 8 to 10. The judg-
ing portion will kick off on Saturday, March 10.

To register for the judging portion you’re asked to call the same numbers as soon as possible.

In an effort to attract more cultural diversification, the Peace Country Classic Agri-Show is closing in on the final installments of Artcetera.
Artcetera is a Peace Coun-tr y artisan’s haven, which will feature a variety of art-ists across the region.
A total of seven booths are projected to participate. The artists vary from woodwork-ers, artists, photographers and jewelers.
One of the most notable artists is a jeweler who cre-ates jewelry out of horsehair.
“If you have a horse and you want to remember your horse she just takes a little piece of the tail and makes it into necklaces and brace-lets,” said Artcetera co-ordi-nator Laurel Mather.
Another notable artist is a woodworker from Vander-hoof, British Columbia.
T he woodworkers hau l their own wood out of the bush and create things such as picture frames, bed frames and mirrors.
“And everybody has stuff for sale,” Mather added.
On T hursday, Ma rch 8,
Artcetera contributors will donate a piece of their work towards an auction.
Proceeds from the auction will go to the Young Persons and Families with Cancer Society of Northern Alberta.
Mather was expecting a
few more contributors than seven booths this year, but says it’s a good start for its first year.
“I’m hoping that these peo-ple coming will be happy and they can pass the word and maybe next year there will be
more. And hopefully move to a different spot where we can get more exposure,” Mather said.
T he show is schedu led March 8 to 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The auction will take place
on Thursday after 5 p.m.To register for an Artcetera
booth you can call Mather at 780-882-3488 or by email at [email protected]

To add to the slew of events and activities, Partners Natu-rally will host a dog obedience and agility demonstration at the 2012 Peace Country Clas-sic Agri-Show.
Partners Naturally will introduce its dog perform-ance group called Unleashed.
The group is made up of about six performance dogs which will be performing eve-rything from basic tricks to competitive agility training.
“We do about a 20-minute
performance then go straight into agi l i ty ,” said ow ner Rebecca Hayes-Copeland. “We have the Grande Prai-rie 4-H Multi Club involved too. I work with their kids and volunteer to do their canine groups. All the kids that are training this year in 4-H will be joining us to do an agility demonstration.”
Following the demonstra-tions the group will invite the audience to come meet the dogs and have a chat with the trainers.
Last year the organization had a booth set it, it’s not sure
if they will have that opportu-nity this year.
Every year Hayes-Copeland is asked the same question, she said.
“Oh can my dog do that too?”
“And we’re like yeah for sure. My dogs are from SPCA
and ones from Prairie Res-cue. They’re nothing fancy or special. Any dog can do it, any breed.”
The biggest tip she has for those who want to train their dog is practice.
“Just like anything else,” she said. “I know I can go a few
months without doing any tricks and it will take about a month to get them back to what they had before.”
The demonstrations will take place at the Drysdale Centre in Evergreen Park dur-ing the afternoon from March 8 to 10.

Optimism in the cattle industry has things looking good for this year’s edition of the Northern Classic Bull Sale during the Peace Country Classic Agri-Show.
JayDawn Farms and Wil-low Creek Simmentals will be offering up 70 bulls this year – 60 Simmentals and 10 Cha-rolais, says Jason McQuaig of JayDawn Farms.
“The Simmental bulls con-sist of reds, blacks, full bloods and full Fleckvieh, and we have 10 white and tan Cha-rolais bulls,” he said
The key to the sale is the wide variety of bulls available, said McQuaig. “Whether it’s calving ease bulls, we’ve got bulls that are high in perform-ance, we have bulls that are very high in maternal traits as well, so there should be some-thing there that will meet any-body’s program needs.”
The sale has a 100% guaran-tee, said McQuaig noting they keep spare bulls at home so if somebody has a wreck with a bull, they can be accommo-dated. “We also have our pay-ment plan of half down on the day of the sale and half due in November,” he said.
With the upswing in the market, McQuaig is expecting a good turnout at this year’s Northern Classic.
“The cattle market is very good,” he said. “We’ve seen some record fat prices in 2011 and we’ve seen some very high prices on some of the cow and bull markets and calf prices are very, very strong and its only expected to get stronger.”
In addition to the sale, the McQuaig and Klassen fami-lies are both involved in the youth program providing the bulls for the kids to judge on Saturday as well as some of the prizes for the program.
Bouchard Livestock will be taking care of the sales man-
agement and the catalogue for the sale is available to down-

While learning, networking and showing off, visitors at the Peace Country Classic Agri-Show will have the chance to be wowed by the demos.
The show will feature a wide range of demonstra-tions, including agility dogs, ranch roping, saddle fitting and dressage.
Dressage, French for ‘train-ing’, is a demonstration of pure training with horses. With very minimal physical aids from the rider, the horse perform manoeuvres around the arena.
Visitors watching the dres-sage demo will also see a new face – Holland-native Tyrza van Iperen.
Van Iperen is an award win-ning dressage rider in Hol-land and will bring her exper-tise and love for the sport to
Grande Prairie.“In Holland, I’m a trainer,
rider and judge,” said van Iperen, who is highly deco-rated for her riding in Hol-land.
For van Iperen, dressage takes a bit more of a meth-aphorical definition.
“Dressage is a sport of beauty and it’s only possi-ble where there is a true part-nership between the horse and the rider,” she said. “The skills are difficult, but once learned, it will help the rider to improve any horse and help both horse and rider to improve any dicipline.”
Va n I p e r e n s a y s t h a t although there is not a huge interest in dressage in the Grande Prairie area yet, many people are pursuing it as a hobby.
“It’s starting to grow,” she said. “The difference between Holland and Canada is huge
(in dressage)”In Holland, she said, dres-
sage trainers are common and usually within a half-hour drive, but in Canada they are few and far between.
“It has to be spread by word of mouth, but it’s starting to grow,” said van Iperen. “Peo-ple are very enthusiastic and really appreciate it and I enjoy training such enthusiastic people.”
She originally moved to B.C. in 2009 with her hus-band, then gained residency status in 2011, which allowed her to work.
Van Iperen plans to host dressage clinics in the spring and anyone interested can call her at 780-296-3125.
Schedules for the dressage demos at the Peace Coun-try Classic Agri-Show can be found at www.evergreenpark.ca

The Anderson family from the Sexsmith area are the County of Grande Prairie’s 2012 Farm Family of the year.
“We’re very pleased and excited,” said Jason Anderson, who operates the farm with his father Larry and mother Vella. “It was a shocker, a per-son never really knows who’s nominated in their region. There are a lot of good farm families in this area.”
Though Larry is reaching the end of his farming career, he was humbled with the award.
“It was a great honour to be selected,” Larry said. “I’ve been a farmer for about 60 years, I’m pretty well retired now.”
The county gives the annual award to a family that dem-onstrates a combination of quality farming practices and a lifetime of community involvement.
The award will be presented to the Andersons during the Peace Country Classic Agri-Show banquet in March.
The Andersons will also be celebrating their 100th year of living in the county.
“It’s always been a goal of mine in the last 10 years to make that hurdle of 100 years,” said Jason. “Now that were there this year it’s really excit-ing to think four generations ago how much it has changed, it’s a pleasant thought.”
More than 20 years ago the fourth generation farm-ing family raised purebred Pinzgauer cattle. The family started to raise cattle when Jason joined the local 4-H club.
“ I n e e d e d a p u re b re d female for 4-H, mom and dad decided to follow suit and that was the start of the cat-tle,” Jason said.
T h e A n d e r s o n s h a v e stopped raising cattle and now farm roughly 2,500 acres. The family grows wheat, bar-ley, canola and peas.
“With the way the industry went we decided it was time to get out of cows, our herd dwindled down to a smaller number and the grain farm has been continually growing a little bit every year,” Jason said. “Right now we’re at a comfortable stage of what we can handle.”
Since day one the farm has always been a mix of grain and livestock. Larry is happy with the success of the fami-ly’s farming operation.
“There’s ups and there’s downs, but it’s a good life,” Larry said.
In Februar y 1912, Lar-ry’s grandparents, father and three uncles came over the Grouard Trail and eventu-ally settled and established homesteads in the Sexsmith area. Larry’s father, Fred, was the only one of the brothers who went into farming. Larry joined his father’s farming operation in 1959.
Larry and Vella had four
children.“Our 50th wedding anni-
versary for Vella and I is com-ing up, we’ve got quite a year coming ahead of us,” Larry said.
Jason, the couple’s young-est son, followed his father’s footsteps and joined the farm-ing operation in 1992.
Jason, his wife Kodi and their three children, Keyana, 11, Quintara, 9, and Jordan,
7, continue to farm along-side Larry and Vella. The fam-ily still lives on the original homestead settled by Larry’s grandfather.
Larry and Vella are well known in the community for their volunteer efforts. For more than 40 years the couple has been involved in the local Elks and Catholic Women’s League, as well as a number of other community groups
and organizations.“We are very pleased to be
able to honour the Ander-sons,” said County Agriculture Fieldman Sonja Raven. “We had some really good candi-dates this year but I think that council chose an excellent family.”
The county had a total of five families nominated for the award.
“We have a number of really
good candidates out there that still haven’t been nomi-nated,” she said. “It’s really a testament to the quality of people that we have that farm in our county.”
T h e A n d e r s o n f a m -ily is invited to represent the County at the North-lands Farm Family Awards in Edmonton in November.
