20 Mar '23

Hi all, In addition to registering for Re-registration as per below, please register for your thesis (Course registration numbers follow): Master's Thesis - 1224 - GRAD 7000 - A01 Doctoral Thesis - 1229 - GRAD 8000 - A01 Thanks. Martha [cid:image001.png@01D7B920.A0DFC2F0] Martha Blouw, Academic Advisor Department of Plant Science │ Department of Soil Science 226 Agriculture Building University of Manitoba │Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, R3T 2N2 204-474-8223 ________________________________ To: All Graduate Students Cc: Dept./Unit Heads, Grad Chairs & Admin Contacts Please read the below information carefully as it concerns important information about graduate student registration. You may also wish to consult the attached Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). 1. Information for all Master's and Ph.D. students who are continuing in their programs*: All graduate students are required to register every academic term which includes Fall, Winter and Summer. Summer 2023 registration opens March 27th. Students who do not register for Summer term will be discontinued from their program of study. As Summer 2023 term is approaching, please ensure you are at least registered for the re-registration course: Course # Term CRN Master's Re-registration GRAD 7020 Summer 2023 1226 Doctoral Re-registration GRAD 8020 Summer 2023 1231 This re-registration should be over and above any course registration(s) you complete. So long as you are in a re-registration course for each term, you will retain status in your graduate program even if you withdraw from other courses. Registration in the re-registration course also ensures you are assessed the appropriate fees. Exceptions to Summer 2023 term re-registration: * Students on a Parental or Exceptional Leave do not have to register in the term(s) for which this kind of leave is approved. Students on a Regular Leave are still required to register for the re-registration course in each term. * Students who anticipate graduating in June 2023 are not required to register for the Summer 2023 term. Note: Students who anticipate graduating in October 2023 must register for their final Thesis/Practicum/Comprehensive Exam/Project or the final course specific to their program in Summer 2023 term. Re-registration in GRAD 7020/GRAD 8020 is still a good idea in case your graduating term is delayed. All course numbers and CRNs can be found by searching the Class Schedule link at https://aurora.umanitoba.ca/. If you have questions about registration please contact your departmental/unit graduate program assistant. 2. Compulsory GRAD 7300 Research Integrity Tutorial - complete only (1) time in your program (within your first year) All Pre-Master's, Masters and Ph.D. students are required to successfully complete GRAD 7300 Research Integrity Tutorial - once registered for the course in Aurora, the associated modules can be located in UM Learn. This zero (0) credit-hour, pass/fail research integrity tutorial is a highly interactive online tool designed to provide a comprehensive overview and basic understanding of the best practices and principles in the Responsible Conduct of Research. All Graduate Students who started their graduate program in Summer 2022 must have completed the tutorial by April 21, 2023. Failure to do so will result in an F NP and hold placed on future registration. Please review the regulations associated with GRAD 7300 in the FGS Academic Guide<https://catalog.umanitoba.ca/graduate-studies/academic-guide/academic-perfo…>. If you already successfully completed GRAD 7300, you may ignore this information. Course Term CRN GRAD 7300 Summer 2023 1677 3. Compulsory GRAD 7500 Academic Integrity Tutorial - complete only (1) time in your program (within your first term) Academic Integrity is a matter of paramount importance in academia. It is the foundation of scholarly work. Breaches of Academic Integrity, whether intentional or unintentional, have potentially very serious consequences to a student's status in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and at the University of Manitoba. To help graduate students better understand the issues surrounding Academic Integrity, the Senate of the University of Manitoba passed a motion that requires all graduate students to take a compulsory tutorial on Academic Integrity. All Pre-Master's and graduate and students must register for and complete GRAD 7500 Academic Integrity Tutorial one time. This is a zero (0) credit-hour course intended to introduce students to their basic responsibilities regarding academic integrity and to the resources available to them. Pre-Master's and graduate students who are starting their graduate program in Summer 2023 must register for GRAD 7500: Course Term CRN GRAD 7500 Summer 2023 1412 GRAD 7501 (French version for USB students) Summer 2023 1966 Failure to successfully complete this course by the end of the student's first term of registration will result in further remedial measures. Note: * Please only register for GRAD 7500 once. Do not register in subsequent terms while admitted to the same degree program. * Students on an exceptional/parental/regular leave of absence must register in GRAD 7500 upon return from leave if it has not already been completed. * Students MUST complete GRAD 7500 even if: o They have already completed the Research Integrity course. o They have already completed a similar departmental seminar course. o Their thesis is in the middle of distribution or they have completed the distribution. o A span of time of more than one (1) term separates one graduate degree program from another graduate degree program (for instance, if a student completed GRAD 7500 at the Master's level, took a break of more than one (1) term and was admitted to another Master's or Ph.D. program). * Students are not required to complete GRAD 7500 if: o They are a Ph.D. student who already completed GRAD 7500 during their Master's program (without a span of more than one (1) term between programs). o They are a visiting or occasional student. Students must register for the course in Aurora in order to access it in UM Learn. (Students on the USB campus must access GRAD 7501 via Moodle.) We strongly suggest you review the course instructions<https://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/htmlmail/Academic_Integrity…> prior to starting the course. GRAD 7500 and GRAD 7300 Frequently Asked Questions can be viewed here<https://umanitoba.ca/graduate-studies/student-experience/core-academic-requ…>. Always remember to plan your program carefully. It is imperative that you ensure you are registering for only those courses that are a major part of your Master's or Ph.D. program. If they are not part of your major program then they should be added through your department/unit office as an Auxiliary course "X", Audit course "A" or an Occasional course "O". If you have questions about this, contact your department/unit. Do not register for more courses than your program allows because you may be assessed extra fees at the time of graduation. Per the Faculty of Graduate Studies Academic Guide<https://catalog.umanitoba.ca/graduate-studies/academic-guide/academic-perfo…>: "Students are responsible for ensuring that they meet all degree and program requirements. The advisor (and co-advisor, if applicable), advisory committee, and department/unit must also ensure that each student follows Faculty of Graduate Studies regulations, department/unit supplementary regulations and meets all program requirements. The Faculty of Graduate Studies performs a final check of Faculty of Graduate Studies minimum requirements for each student just prior to graduation. Students are cautioned, therefore, to periodically check all regulations with respect to their degree requirements. Failure to meet all the requirements will render a student ineligible to graduate." Thank you for your attention to these important graduate student matters. Andrea J. Kailer, B. Comm. (Hons).

At the same time, the market environment for grains and oilseeds was exceptionally volatile. The result of this dynamic was critical in determining the shape of farm incomes in 2022, and it also has much to say regarding how higher and more volatile input and output prices will impact farmers going forward, and what their needs will be from agricultural policy. To investigate this issue, CAPI looked at data on expenses for fertilizer, seed, and fuel for wheat and canola in Alberta, and for corn and soybeans in Ontario. To gauge the extent of input price inflation farmers were subject to in 2022, input prices in fall 2021 were compared with the spring of 2022, and Alberta and Ontario crop budgets were used to measure the price change in per acre terms.

This research undertaken by CAPI adds value to this discussion of a significant importance to farmers, policymakers, and others by providing a high-level empirical analysis of the situation in Alberta and Ontario and making recommendations from a policy perspective.

The contribution margin is used to help understand if farmers were made worse off than expected in 2022 when prices of crops and their associated inputs rose significantly. The wheat and canola prices above apply to Alberta farmers, while corn and soybean prices are for Ontario farmers. Because the increase in crop prices broadly outpaced the increase in input costs in 2022, actual contribution margins were consistently higher than expected for all four crops. Spring contribution margins were higher than fall, reflecting the risk premium associated with signing forward contracts further in advance of the harvest date. Contribution margins greater than expected in 2022 do not insulate producers from future risk. As farm expenses continue to rise each year, risk mitigation measures are still a necessity and require valuable time, money, and resources by farm operators. Federal and provincial programs and farm management tools and advice will continue to be important.

Our inspiration comes from CAPI’s latest publication, Producer Margins in a High-Expense and High-Cost Environment<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…>, which demonstrates the risks and challenges farmers face planning ahead, given uncertainties and volatility in prices and commodity markets. The USDA projections report was discussed at the USDA annual Agricultural Outlook Forum<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…> on February 23 and 24, 2023. The projections report provides 10-year projections for agricultural commodities, trade, and farm income based on recent assumptions about the economy, existing U.S. policy, and global developments. Projections suggest that crop prices will decline over the next three years while beef and chicken prices will remain elevated. Exports of most commodities will continue to increase, but not as fast as imports into the United States, due to an appreciating U.S. dollar and slower GDP growth globally. Canadian agriculture sector projections have also been released in February by Farm Credit<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…> Canada and Agriculture and Agri-food Canada (Farm Income Forecast<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…>) on their respective websites.

En même temps, le marché des céréales et des oléagineux a été exceptionnellement volatile. Le résultat de cette dynamique a été essentiel pour déterminer la forme des revenus agricoles en 2022, et il a également beaucoup à dire sur la façon dont les prix des intrants et des extrants, plus élevés et plus volatils, auront un impact sur les agriculteurs à l'avenir, et sur ce que seront leurs besoins en matière de politique agricole. Pour étudier cette question, l'ICPA a examiné les données sur les dépenses en engrais, en semences et en carburant pour le blé et le canola en Alberta, et pour le maïs et le soja en Ontario. Pour évaluer l'ampleur de l'inflation des prix des intrants à laquelle les agriculteurs ont été soumis en 2022, les prix des intrants à l'automne 2021 ont été comparés à ceux du printemps 2022, et les budgets des cultures de l'Alberta et de l'Ontario ont été utilisés pour mesurer la variation des prix par acre.

La « marge sur coûts variables » est égale aux recettes des ventes de cultures moins les coûts variables associés à la production (notamment les principaux intrants). La marge sur coûts variables est utilisée pour aider à comprendre si les agriculteurs sont en situation moins idéale que prévue en 2022 lorsque les prix des cultures et des intrants ont augmenté de manière significative. Les prix du blé et du canola ci-dessus s'appliquent aux agriculteurs de l'Alberta, tandis que les prix du maïs et du soja concernent les agriculteurs de l'Ontario. Comme l'augmentation des prix des cultures a largement dépassé l'augmentation des coûts des intrants en 2022, les marges sur coûts variables réelles ont été systématiquement plus élevées que prévu pour les quatre cultures. Les marges sur coûts variables du printemps étaient plus élevées que celles de l'automne, ce qui reflète la prime de risque associée à la signature de contrats plus à l’avance de la date de récolte. Les marges sur coûts variables supérieures aux prévisions en 2022 ne protègent pas les producteurs des risques futurs. Comme les dépenses agricoles continuent d'augmenter chaque année, les mesures d'atténuation des risques demeurent une nécessité et exigent du temps, de l'argent, et des ressources de la part des exploitants agricoles. Les programmes fédéraux et provinciaux ainsi que les outils de gestion agricole continueront d'être importants. Nos lectures<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…> Évaluation de la sécurité alimentaire internationale [https://files.constantcontact.com/4b5923da701/8f7929a5-3580-4be6-a9a6-d864a…]<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…> Le rapport<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…> de l'ICPA sur « les marges des producteurs dans un contexte de dépenses et de prix élevés pour les cultures » démontre les risques et les défis auxquels les agriculteurs sont confrontés pour planifier à l'avance, compte tenu des incertitudes et de la volatilité des prix et des marchés des produits de base. Ce mois-ci, nos lectures se concentrent sur l'importance des informations et des perspectives du marché pour aider les agriculteurs à prendre des décisions de gestion plus éclairées en 2023 et au-delà. Le rapport<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…>, intitulé « United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Projections to 2032 », fournit une mine d'informations et d'analyses qui peuvent aider les agriculteurs à comprendre les tendances du marché mondial et national à des fins de planification. Il a été discuté lors du Forum<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…> annuel sur les perspectives agricoles de l'USDA, qui se tiendra les 23 et 24 février 2023. Le rapport fournit des projections sur 10 ans pour les produits agricoles, le commerce et les revenus agricoles sur la base d'hypothèses récentes concernant l'économie, la politique américaine existante, et les développements mondiaux. Les projections suggèrent que les prix des cultures diminueront au cours des trois prochaines années, tandis que les prix du bœuf et du poulet resteront élevés. Les exportations de la plupart des produits de base continueront d'augmenter, mais pas aussi vite que les importations, en raison de l'appréciation du dollar américain et du ralentissement de la croissance du PIB à l'échelle mondiale. Les projections du secteur agricole canadien ont également été publiées en février par Financement<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…> agricole Canada et Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada (Prévisions du revenu agricole)<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cDZTNJx3L4n6MRF-z6eCQ_LfZJSa8IO_dNvIb4V3qM8…> sur leurs sites Web respectifs.
