Manitoba’s carbon tax better for farmers than Ottawa’s: Pallister The premier says farmers are price takers and he doesn’t want a plan that will hurt farmers or the provincial economy BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

anitoba’s carbon tax will be designed either in Manitoba or Ottawa, and Premier Brian Pallister says his version won’t undermine the provincial economy or the competitiveness of Manitoba farmers. However, details of either plan remain. “(O)ur plan is going to be one that works far better for Manitobans,” Pallister said in an interview May 11. “And I think it will definitely work far better for the agricultural community and farm families.” Pallister, who was raised on a farm, and whose Progressive Conservative Party won almost all the province’s farm constituencies in the last election, said he knows Manitoba farmers are price takers who can’t pass on extra costs. “If we are losing profitability in our farm sector by living in… Manitoba, we can’t pull up our land and move,” he said. “So I am concerned about See CARBON TAX on page 6 »

review of 29 health studies involving more than a million patients says dairy fat doesn’t increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. These findings challenge the widely held belief that dairy products can damage health. In fact the analysis found that even full-fat versions of dairy favourites like cheese, yogurt and sour cream didn’t impact health negatively and had a neutral effect on human health. “This meta-analysis showed there were no associations between total dairy, high- and low-fat dair y, milk and the health outcomes including heart attack and stroke. The findings were recently published in European Journal of Epidemiology. Ian Givens, a professor at the U.K.’s Reading University, said the relatively recent idea milk fat is harmful is in error. “There’s quite a widespread but mistaken belief among the public that dairy prod-

ucts in general can be bad for you, but that’s a misconception,” Givens said. “While it is a widely held belief, our research shows that that’s wrong.” Medical authorities and other health and nutrition experts have for years advised saturated fats are potentially harmful and told consumers to minimize their consumption. It’s led to a trend where consumers purchase lowerfat versions and several unin-

tended consequences including too many forgoing dairy entirely. The research team noted that could damage bone development in children, lead to osteoporosis later in life and a shortfall of calcium in diets. Official reaction to the study in the U.K. has been cautious, with dietary exper ts conceding dair y products are important, but sticking with the recommendation to consume lower-fat versions.

Investigators tracking PED infections Another case of PED was confirmed in southeastern Manitoba May 8, bringing the province’s total number of PED cases since 2014 up to 13 BY Alexis Stockford Co-operator staff

og producers are on high alert after a third case of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) was confirmed within five kilometres of two initial infections May 8. The root of the infections, centred in southeastern Manitoba, is still unknown. “We wish we knew why this is happening because our producers are exercising very high standards of biosecurity,” Manitoba Pork Council general manager Andrew Dickson said. “People are very aware of this disease and the impact it could have on their operations and go to some lengths to try and keep the disease out.” The first 2017 case of PED was reported at another sow operation May 2 in the region between Steinbach and Niverville. Four days later, a nearby finishing barn also tested positive for the virus. Tracking sources of PED has been a perennial problem since the virus was first discovered in Manitoba in February 2014, Dickson has said. Suspected sources have run from manure off passing trailers to human error. “We’ve never been able to say, in each individual case, ‘Yes, that is definitely how the disease got on the farm,’” he said. “By the time we see the disease, the cause has gone away.” The provincial Emergency Operations Centre was activated after the first case was confirmed this year and an investigation into the infection is underway, provincial chief veterinary officer Dr. Megan Bergman has said. “We’re in the process of con-

ducting surveillance testing of any in-contact farms that may have had some indirect contact with this particular site as well as following up on any potential linkages that may help us identify where the introduction may have occurred,” Bergman told industry website Farmscape May 5. “At this point the barn certainly is working its way through the virus and, once the animals begin to recover, then they can undertake their cleaning and disinfection process.” The most recent reports bring Manitoba’s total number of PED cases up to 13, all in southeastern Manitoba. The southeast end of the province had two cases of PED in September 2016 and three in late May and early June that same year. That’s up from 2014, when the virus was found in four facilities, and 2015, when only one case was confirmed. The province has not released specific farm locations, although farms within five kilometres of either site have been advised. Over 22 farms lay in the warning area after the first two infection reports. Farms have also been asked to tighten biosecurity procedures. Biocontainment is in effect for all infected locations, the province has said. The Manitoba Pork Council isn’t surprised to see cases of the virus,

given infection rates in the United States. Confirmed in the U.S. in 2013, the virus hit hard at swine inventories by the end of that year. Between June 5, 2014 and April 27, 2017, PED has been found at 3,162 locations in the United States and a further 227 sites had dual infections with porcine deltacoronavirus, another diarrheacausing illness, according to the last situation report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In Canada, the virus made its way to Ontario by January 2014 and Ontario announced its 101st case of the infection this March. Cases have also been reported in Quebec and Prince Edward Island. While not a threat to humans or food safety, the virus causes severe dehydration in pigs and is often fatal in younger animals. “It’s really important that producers maintain their biosecurity measures and even sit down with their staff groups, have another look at what they’re doing, make sure they’re following it, doublecheck with everybody that they understand what needs to be done,” Dickson said. Dickson further noted that sites such as assembly yards and slaughter plants have a higher risk of carrying the disease. “It’s really important that producers make every effort to clean their trailers when coming back

Ramping up roadblocks for PED The Manitoba Pork Council has advised additional precautions in southeastern Manitoba, which has seen three PED confirmations in the last week With three cases of PED confirmed within kilometres of each other in southern Manitoba, both the province and Manitoba Pork Council are looking to stop the spread of the virus. The pork council has released the following recommendations to increase biosecurity in the affected region: Producers are encouraged to: • Park all staff vehicles at the end of the driveway and wear dedicated footwear or plastic booties in the yard. • Only allow essential service providers to visit the site, and insist they park at the end of the driveway and wear booties in the yard. • Push all garbage and deadstock pickups to the end of the driveway (if not already in effect) and away from where barn personnel and visitors will park. • Consider liming the driveways between the parking area and the barn – enough space to ensure all livestock and feed trucks entering the yard will get at least a full tire rotation’s worth of coverage. Service providers are encouraged to: • Schedule visits within the area for the end of the week, if possible, or at least for last of the day, followed by a cleaning and disinfection procedure. • If necessary to visit a site, park at the end of the driveway, put on plastic booties when exiting the vehicle, and remove the booties when returning to the vehicle. • Minimize the amount of site contact to the essential service areas, only getting out of your vehicle when necessary.

from such sites, and especially if they’re going to the United States,” he said. Dickson noted losses have historically been more severe in sow operations, where the adults will generally recover, but the barn may lose between 80 and 100 per cent of infected piglets. Losses have been small so far this year, Dickson has said, but added that the situation could change within a matter of days. Nine of the confirmed 12

locations where PED has been found have since been declared PED presumptive negative, meaning that environmental and herd tests have discovered no remaining trace of the virus, although some risk of contamination remains in manure storage. Manitoba Pork Council says it can take six months to a year to assist an affected farm in its recovery following an infection. astockford@farmmedia.com

Crocus photo contest winners named

Amateur photographers from across the province once again put their best photo forward STAFF

dult and youth competitors have once again flooded the village of Arden with crocus photographs. The 2017 Wild Prairie Crocus photo contest attracted more than 100 photos, and 13 photographers from eight different towns and cities throughout the province captured prizes totalling $600. The tiny village, 160 km northwest of Winnipeg, is home to about 150 people and is the self-proclaimed Crocus Capital of Manitoba. It has hosted the photo contest for eight years. It encourages entries from youth and adults anywhere in the province. To be eligible, the photos can only be taken during about two weeks in April. The crocus normally emerges around April 1, with colourful blooms at mid-April. It is the first Prairie wildflower to bloom each spring. All of the photo entries are printed and posted for public viewing and voting one day only, at Arden’s annual crocus festival, on the first Saturday in May. The most popular two photos are selected by visitors at the event for the People’s Choice Award, sponsored by the Manitoba Co-operator. This year’s People’s Choice Award winners are Dennis Wiens, a retiree and keen amateur photographer from Portage la Prairie who captured the adult category, and Erica Alex, a student from Minnedosa who got the nod in the youth category. Prizes also are awarded in four classes for youth and adults.

OPINION/EDITORIAL

A fine balance

Gord Gilmour Editor

big thumbs up to the five Manitoba commodity groups that announced recently they will work towards a merger. The Manitoba Corn Growers Association, Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers Association, the Manitoba Flax Growers Association, the National Sunflower Association of Canada and the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association have signed a memorandum of understanding spelling out a process for negotiations

over the coming year. This effort follows the lead by farm groups in the East that coalesced into Grain Farmers of Ontario, a provincial association that’s already developed a good reputation for representing growers. Closer to home, some of the groups in the current talks have already been “collaborating,” including a shared general manager in the case of the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers and Manitoba Corn Growers. And why not? These groups share a common grower base. Few farmers grow just one commodity. Having stand-alone single-commodity organizations was causing rumblings that there were too many hands dipping into one farmer’s pocket just to duplicate overhead. But there was another, more insidious risk. Commodityspecific research can only go so far when the evidence clearly shows Prairie farmers need to have a diversified crop rotation in order to succeed. Who supports the research needs of some of those secondary crops that help round out the rotation? According to those involved in the discussion, the issue isn’t going to be reducing checkoffs, but rather making better use of them. As the farmer-members of these associations ponder the benefits and drawbacks of making these moves, they’ll want to consider exactly what role they want these associations to play. Many farmers feel their checkoff dollars are best spent doing nuts-and-bolts agronomic research. Some view any lobbying or other activities as needless politicking. Others feel that lobbying and policy efforts are central to success of the agriculture sector. After all, how can one respond to the lobbying prowess of, say, Canada’s major railways, without similar resources? Another question will be how to balance the interests of the various groups. While the grower bases are similar, and they do share many similar interests, there will inevitably also be differences. There will be conflicting priorities and inevitable differences of opinion and there will have to be a clear method for achieving compromise. History is littered with the wreckage of farm organizations that couldn’t manage this internal tension. At some point, someone is going to have to take a bit of water with their wine, and let’s be honest: the agriculture community isn’t always known for its ability to yield to the broader good. One interesting feature of the Manitoba merger is it appears, in the early days at least, to have been driven by the staff members of the organizations themselves. This speaks to the altruism of the managers and executive directors of the groups. It would have no doubt been easier and safer for them all to hunker down and build themselves an empire. As any employee who’s been through a merger can tell you, one of the realities of most is a reduced head count at the other end of the process. It’s not clear that would be the best path for producers though. It’s easy to cut, but it’s also easy to cut too close to the bone. These days agriculture exists in an ever-changing environment, with a higher level of scrutiny and criticism than ever before. Few farmers have the time, resources or inclination to take on these big challenges full time. The sector simply can’t afford to have important files languish and allow others to set the terms of public discussion. Yet another variable will be the ability of the smaller groups of growers to maintain their seat at the table, even during internal discussions in a larger merged group. Balanced against that is the fact these groups were already struggling, as their smaller acreage bases gave them fewer resources to operate. It is possible to get a merger right. Grain Farmers of Ontario is not a perfect analogy. That group represents growers in a single province, and while there are other cropping options, their rotation is largely corn-soybeans, which simplifies things a bit. While the staff leaders of these organizations will play a very important role in the discussion, the most important eyes will belong to you, the farmer. These are your checkoff dollars, and they’re representing you publicly. Now is your chance to have a meaningful voice in how your commodity groups are structured in the future. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Tricky May forecast raises uncertainties for U.S. corn By Karen Braun Reuters

he planting and emergence of the 2017 U.S. corn crop is right on schedule, but the weather might continue to present some unique challenges as May unfolds. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has placed corn plantings at 34 per cent complete by April 30, identical to the five-year average but below last year’s 43 per cent. Emergence stood at nine per cent, compared with an average of eight per cent, and 12 per cent one year ago. Even though the progress pace lines up with recent averages, an “on-time” crop can feel late, especially this year given the economic battle with soybeans, corn’s key competitor. If planting pace is quick, the market has much more confidence in corn acres. But an average pace introduces more uncertainties over both planting and emergence, particularly if the weather forecasts are not entirely promising. May is a critically important month for the planting and development of the United States’ top grain crop. On average over the last five years, some 36 per cent of the corn is planted by May 1, and that climbs to 94 per cent by May 31. Emergence is just as prominent during this period. About 10 per cent of the crop is emerged by May 1, and by May 31 it has reached 79 per cent. The first condition scores are usually issued by the end of May. Through April 30, states in the Eastern Corn Belt – including Illinois, Indiana and Ohio – were well ahead of average pace on planting and slightly ahead on emergence. However, some of

OUR HISTORY:

the Upper Midwestern and Plains states – such as Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakotas – have got a slower start due to cold, wet weather. The U.S. Climate Prediction Center issued its updated May weather outlook on April 30 after having released the initial forecast on April 20, and the updated temperature outlook was distinctly different from the original. The initial forecast suggested average temperatures west of the Mississippi River and warmer temperatures to the east. But the new forecast calls for cooler-than-normal conditions to dominate almost the entire Corn Belt. Both forecasts also reflected a dry bias over this same general region, but the initial forecast had the dryness focused mostly on the Great Lakes region, while the updated forecast shows the centre of the dry spot over Iowa and Missouri. Ideally, a farmer would want to plant into neutral soil conditions and then enjoy a warm May with intermittent rain showers in order to get the crop out of the ground on time and in good condition while preserving moisture in the soil. But nearly the entire corn-production region – save the Dakotas and Nebraska – will likely grapple with unseasonably cool temperatures through at least the first half of May. Indiana and Ohio will receive the worst of it, as temperatures will run 10 to 20 F below normal for at least the next 10 days. The widespread cooler weather will certainly slow emergence and development over the next week or so, but add in the recent and expected rainfall, and the situation becomes even dicier. Karen Braun is a Reuters market analyst. The views presented here are her own.

May 1994

he world wheat trade war was in full swing in 1994, as we reported in our May 26 issue. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy had been in Argentina, Mexico and Brazil the previous week, urging them to take action against what he claimed was price undercutting by the Canadian Wheat Board. Espy claimed the CWB was offering wheat at $60 to $75 per tonne under the cost of production, but CWB commissioner Richard Klassen countered that its price was $22 per tonne over the U.S. What with huge U.S. and EU export subsidies, it’s likely that everyone was selling below the cost of production — we reported an EU sale at $93 per tonne ($2.53 per bushel) f.o.b. Grain was starting to move at the West Coast again after “a crippling longshoremen’s strike in February, a shortage of rail cars and tough negotiations with grain handlers.” After disastrous flooding in the U.S. the previous year, the Midwest was now looking for moisture. Corn and soybeans futures had jumped to 10-month highs. Manitoba had the same problem — a photo showed a ditch full of topsoil near Carman following “scorching gale-force winds” May 17. However, the crop report for the week ending May 24 said showers had arrived across most of the province afterward, and seeding was 75 per cent or more complete in most areas. The next week we reported that a long-running bull market in cattle had crashed, with Alberta cattle selling at 80 cents compared to 97 cents in early April.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

From farm to fork, brought to you by artificial intelligence With AI, yields can be improved and grocers can understand consumers — and predict their behaviour — better than consumers know themselves BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS Dalhousie University

a n y Ca n a d i a n c o n s u m ers have noticed that lettuce and celery prices have skyrocketed recently. Such fluctuations happen all the time. But artificial intelligence is about to change that. AI has us on the cusp of a revolution in how we make decisions a n d h ow w e m a n a g e v i r t u a l l y every aspect of our daily lives. The agri-food sector is not immune. Cognitive technologies will change everything about how we feed ourselves, from the farm to the fork. The planet will need to provide food for more than 9.7 billion people by the year 2050 – and we can. How agriculture embraces data is changing at an astonishing rate. To increase yields, and to enhance plant and soil science practices, farmers need plenty of data. The average farm in the industrialized world generates a little over 200,000 data points a day. And by 2050, we can expect this number to be well over four million. To limit energy and waste, farmers will need to know in real time how much fertilizer to apply, and what seed to use and where, so they can get the most out of their fields. Farmers need all the help they can get, particularly with cli-

mate change and the vagaries of nature. Canadian farms lag behind those in the U.S. and Europe. But the recent investments in rural connectivity by the federal and provincial governments should help update Canadian farms. AI will also help ease severe labour shortages in many rural operations. The United Nations predicts that almost 70 per cent of the world population will soon live in urban areas. In Canada, we have exceeded 98 per cent. With the help of cognitive technologies, many operations can be done remotely. We may be years away from the farmerless farm but the need to hire more workers could be alleviated. These measures will lead to more consistencies and fewer losses. And, most important for consumers, retail price fluctuations should be less frequent. Robotics, machine learning and AI will create key changes in the re t a i l g r o c e r y s e c t o r. Ru n n i n g stores by gut feeling is only so effective. The average food store

manager deals with more than 50,000 products – six to eight times more than a few decades ago. To optimize any food retail store, a typical management team must make 1,000 to 1,500 decisions a day. These decisions influence everything from merchandising to assortment strategies. Once you factor in directions from head office as well as transient customer data and insights, instinctive decision-making is a poor model, particularly in a business environment where margins rarely exceed two per cent. However, food retailing is a very traditional sector. Grocers have resisted digital changes for years. The industry is only starting to acknowledge that it can’t efficiently manage all the data points it has access to. Particularly when interest in products will vary greatly daily, due to the weather and other factors. Amazon, a non-traditional food retailer, just opened a store where consumers can get what they want and leave without visiting a cashier. More than 100,000 sensors follow consumers through the store and

instantly charge them for products they put in their bags. In the process, Amazon gets to evaluate consumer decisions, subtle hesitations between products and how someone moves around a store. Imagine the application of such data. Using AI, some grocers could very well understand consumers – and predict their behaviour – better than consumers understand themselves. Imagine food retailing free of sticker shock. No more sudden appearances of $8 heads of cauliflower. With AI, grocers can set acceptable price ranges for any product, and prices can change by the hour, depending on inventory and demand. Since fresh produce represents about 40 per cent of average food store sales, striking the right balance is key. Course correcting if an item doesn’t sell could be measured in minutes or hours, rather than days or months. Our relationship with food retailing will dramatically change over the next decade. And when it happens, that head of lettuce you think is overpriced will in fact be priced correctly for the over whelming market – based on the best information artificial intelligence can gather.

Agriculture’s greatest innovation Farms are still dangerous, but they’ve got a lot better over the years By Alan Guebert Farm & Food

n my youth, May brought two noticeable changes to the big Lutheran C h u rc h m y f a m i l y f a i t h fully attended. The first was heat. No building on earth better held daytime heat from Mother’s Day through Reformation Day than that century-old house of worship. The second was the season’s short-sleeved parade of lost limbs, a brutal testament to the unforgiving and unshielded farm machinery of 50 years ago. Each Sunday, several farmers young and old walked, limped, and wobbled to their pews. One was my Uncle Eddie; a square baler claimed most of his right arm in the mid1960s. Another, coincidentally, was his father who, if memory serves, had his right hand crushed in a molasses mill. What was common in our congregation was uncommon on the dairy farm of

my youth. Not one major injury — in fact, not one broken bone — occurred on our farm despite my brothers, my father, his Uncle Honey, and a handful of hired men operating machines that featured slashing sickles, whirring V-belts, spinning chains, and slipping clutches. We d i d h a v e o u r n e a r misses, however. One June day my father was applying sticky belt dressing to a long — and, of course, spinning — V-belt that powered our tiny, IH c o m b i n e’s s e p a ra t o r f a n . Somehow the moving belt grabbed his right hand and, in a millisecond, spun it through the roaring fan’s large pulley. No, my father did not lose any fingers, but every finger on that hand was peeled of its skin and his little finger was badly mauled. (He poured — poured! — iodine on all, Mom bandaged ’em, and off he went to cut wheat.) Remarkably, Uncle Honey, whose many farm machinery explosions — er, exploits

Each Sunday, several farmers young and old walked, limped, and wobbled to their pews.

— I’ve highlighted over the years, had an unblemished record of farm safety. Not once in nearly 20 years of mostly inattentive mowing, plowing and silage chopping did Honey get so much as a splinter. My father had a simple explanation: “The L o rd p r o t e c t s f o o l s a n d children.” Perhaps even more remarkable was that not one of the many hired men on that farm was ever hurt. Several tried, though. One silage season Jackie, whose given name was He r b e r t , d rove a n Ol i ve r 77 over the edge of a bunker silo’s wall while packing green chop. The tractor

landed on its top and caught fire; Jackie caught air and landed on his bottom clear o f t h e w re c k a g e. He w a s badly shaken; the tractor totalled. Still, it was a good day because Jackie walked away. Another hired man, Charlie, arrived at work early one Monday with a hideous, unstitched slash across his forearm. My father asked how he had so badly wounded himself on the one day of the week he wasn’t operating dangerous farm equipment. Oh , e x p l a i n e d C h a r l i e, he was swapping out the transmission on his old Ford the previous day when he grabbed a hatchet — he didn’t own a cold chisel or hacksaw — to cut a hole in the car’s floorboard. A minute later a glancing hatchet blow landed on, well, not the Ford. None of this surpr ised my father. Most of the men he employed were not hired because of their scholastic achievement. While nearly all could read, none, at least

to my knowledge, used that talent to study or even page through one machinery operating manual. Some, indeed, were more dangerous off the farm. Twice my family, on our way home from town, encount e r e d o u r h i r e d m e n’s wrecked jalopies in roadside ditches. Each time we found only the car, not the hired man, and each time, each man came to work, little worse for the wear, the next day. Again, the Lord protecting fools and children, I guess. Today, however, human engineering has replaced divine intervention and those Sunday morning parades of broken, disabled farmers — like the men from the dairy farm of my youth — are gone. That alone may be the g re a t e s t a c h i e v e m e n t i n the last two generations of incredible ag innovation. Praise the Lord.

FROM PAGE ONE CARBON TAX Continued from page 1

that. And I am concerned that we make sure that a good year for the farmer is a good year for Manitoba. “The farm economy… is a big, big part of Manitoba’s overall economy.” The premier’s comments were music to Dan Mazier’s ears. “It definitely sounds like he’s got our backs,” Mazier, president of the Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP), said while seeding wheat near Justice, last week. “We still need to see the details. There are lots of unknowns, but I appreciate his language.” Pallister said a carbon tax framework will be announced before harvest. Manitobans will have input on the final plan, which must be approved by the federal government.

Agriculture exemption unlikely Speaking to reporters at the Ma n i t o b a l e g i s l a t u re l a s t week, Pallister seemed to suggest farmers should be exempt from a carbon tax imposed by Ottawa. “We don’t believe that any carbon tax plan that the federal government advances should be applied to Manitoba farm families,” he said. “That’s not something that we believe should be acceptable.” But when asked in an interview if it was inaccurate to say Manitoba’s plan would exempt agriculture, Pallister replied: “Probably, because I am talking at the farm gate here. That’s where I am concerned foremost. I don’t think we should go further than that because there are too many details yet to to be understood about the federal plan.” Pallister said he wants a plan that works for farm families and that he is not convinced that the Trudeau plan will do that. But exempting the agriculture sector may not be an option. “By saying that (we’re going to exempt agriculture) you’d be saying all related and secondary suppliers and so on… (and I)

“By saying that (we’re going to exempt agriculture) you’d be saying all related and secondary suppliers and so on… (and I) don’t think we can realistically make that claim.” Brian Pallister

don’t think we can realistically make that claim. “But I do want you to get the general gist that we are very concerned where people cannot recover an input cost… in particular when they are in an industry as critical as agriculture is to the province of Manitoba.” KAP wants farmers exempt from a carbon tax on emissions from crops or livestock pro-

duction, but is willing to consider paying a carbon tax on farm inputs and services if the money can be rebated. Pallister said he doesn’t like the rebate approach. “You end up paying a bunch of bureaucrats to deal with paper and it’s not my favourite method,” he said. “I am not convinced that, that kind of money into the government, money back to me, is as good as leaving the money on the kitchen table in the first place.”

Tax coming by 2018 Under the Paris agreement to mitigate climate change Ca n a d a a g re e d t o c u t i t s greenhouse gas emissions 30 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030. To that end Ottawa says every province must have a $10-a-tonne price on carbon dioxide starting in 2018, rising $10 a year to $50 by 2022. If a province doesn’t develop a carbon tax Ottawa will impose one. And while the revenue collected will remain in that province, the federal government will allo-

cate it, according to published reports. Manitoba farmers have been worrying and debating for months about the impact of a carbon tax, but without knowing how it will be applied, if any exemptions might apply, or whether there will be programs to help cut emissions. That lack of information has led some farmers to fear the worst and urge Pallister to follow Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall and reject a carbon tax. “Here’s the problem,” Pallister said. “If we don’t do it we get the Trudeau plan. It’s the default plan. So that is why we’ve been working really hard on a madein-Manitoba plan… that we think will work far better to mitigate against some of the realities that we have to face. For example, the vital importance of agriculture (and) transportation industries to Manitoba’s economy.” Moreover, Manitoba has a significant budget deficit and its citizens have been subjected to big tax increases the last few years, Pallister said.

Last week the federal government sent the provinces what it proposes as a default plan and asked for feedback. Pallister said he couldn’t reveal the details before the federal government does. D e p e n d i n g o n w h a t ’s included, farmers account for 30 to 40 per cent of Manitoba’s carbon emissions, making agriculture one of the top emitters, which is not the case in most other parts of Canada. What’s unique about Manitoba is it doesn’t have huge polluting industries and most of its electricity comes from emission-free hydroelectricity, while agriculture is a large part of the economy. “We are already greener than virtually any other jurisdiction in the country,” Pallister said, mainly because of Manitoba’s hydroelectricity. “But by saying that I am not suggesting we shouldn’t do our part. Manitobans I think have a great reputation for always punching above our weight…” allan@fbcpublishing.com

Climate change is real: Pallister

Premier says Manitobans are citizens of the world and must do their part BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

limate change is real and Manitobans are willing to do their part to mitigate it, says Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister. “I don’t think there are many farmers left out there who don’t really have a pretty good understanding of the dangers of not addressing climate change,” Pallister said in an interview May 11. “So I don’t think we’re in denial mode. And I want to make that clear for the folks who think I am somehow reluctant to see Manitoba do its part. We want to do our part. We’re a green province. In my experience… some of the absolute best environmentalists I have ever met — the most committed stewards of the management of our resources — are farm producers.”

But some people question why Canada should cut carbon emissions, never mind Manitoba, when Canada contr ibutes just 1.8 per cent of the world’s carbon. “We are citizens of the world,” Pallister said in response. “We have a responsibility to future generations. I haven’t met too many farmers in my life who don’t understand what stewardship means.” A carbon tax has been a controversial topic among Manitoba farmers since last fall, with few details and arguably more heat than light. Some Progressive Conservative Party supporters have even threatened to start another right-wing party if the current government’s carbon tax isn’t to their liking. “We haven’t had any indication from the federal government (on what it’s proposing) up until this point in time,” Pallister

said when asked why his government hasn’t released details. “All of us have been dealing with uncertainty and in the dark.” Pallister added he isn’t critical of Ottawa, given it has been consulting with the provinces and taxing carbon is a complex and important issue. But Manitoba hasn’t been idle either, he said. “We’ve had literally hundreds of consultations,” Pallister said. “We have been working around the province and I think many of the producers know that. We have been asking for opinions and getting feedback. Every MLA has been working their tail off.” The Manitoba government has heard from the Keystone Agricultural Producers and other farmers. Some are “really high on a carbon tax, which really surprised me,” Pallister said. allan@fbcpublishing.com

FEWER FARMERS Continued from page 1

results of the 2016 census were released last week. It shows the number of operators under age 35 years increased for the first time since 1991. Manitoba stood out as having the largest proportion of those younger operators, as well as the youngest population of farm operators outside Quebec. Just over one in 10 Manitoba farmers (10.8 per cent) are now under 35. “That’s really good news. That is our future and it means there’s growth going on inside Manitoba,” said Keystone Agriculture Producers Dan Mazier. He attributes it to a few good years in farming recently, plus the effort put into succession planning. This most recent census was the first time farmers were asked if they had a written succession plan and 8.1 per cent of farms in Manitoba reported having one. “There’s optimism and there’s generational change happening in agriculture,” Mazier said. “I think more senior operators are getting a signal that they need to do something to put new energy into the system, so guys are getting out and new ones are coming in.” But while a new generation evidently wants in, other census data showing profitability and the cost to farm say a lot about the risk we expect this younger generation to take on, he said.

Other Census of Agriculture highlights in Manitoba:

More Manitoba crops, more sheep Manitoba total cropland area was up 7.3 per cent from the last census, due to flooded land from 2011 now back in production, the report said. Oilseed and grain-type farms are the most common farm type in Manitoba, with 65.3 per cent of the total farmland being used to grow field crops and hay. Canola remains Manitoba’s largest field crop, followed by spring wheat and soybeans, which have more than doubled since 2011. Manitoba added 940,365 more acres of soybeans since the last census, the largest acreage increase in Canada and ranking Manitoba as now having almost one-third of the total soybean area in the country. Manitoba also exceeded national growth rates for dry field peas (up 311.9 per cent) and corn for grain (up 72.8 per cent) and ranked third in total field crop area. Livestock producers are raising more sheep, but fewer beef cattle. The provincial sheep flock is up significantly — rising by 43.2 per cent from 2011 — representing the largest increase in the country.

• 3.5 per cent of farms reported having renewable energyproducing systems in 2015, compared with 5.3 per cent nationally. • 22.2 per cent of farms reported being incorporated in 2016, up from 17.6 per cent in 2011. Nationally, incorporated farms accounted for 25.1 per cent of all farms in 2016. Results from the 2016 Census of Agriculture show Manitoba had the secondyoungest population of farm operators in Canada. photo: lorraine stevenson

But the number of Manitoba farms reporting cattle decreased by 14.4 per cent, and the number of animals by 8.9 per cent since 2011. Some producers have sold stock to take advantage of higher prices and have retired or shifted to other types of agricultural production, the StatsCan report said. Better market conditions have led to Manitoba producing 18.7 per cent more pigs, or 3.4 million head in 2016 which is the largest increase in Canada. Hog farms accounted for 16.8 per cent of all gross farm receipts in Manitoba at $1.1 billion, the second-largest

sales figure by farm type. Manitoba also had the third-largest number of pigs in Canada following Quebec and Ontario. The number of dairy cows in Manitoba decreased 6.6 per cent to 39,083 head in this last census period, with the number of farms reporting dairy cows declining 17.4 per cent. However, milk production increased 6.1 per cent over the same time period, attributable to improved animal nutrition, genetics and production practices.

• The proportion of farms producing organic products in Manitoba was stable from 2011 to 2016 at 1.1 per cent. Nationally, farms producing organic products accounted for 2.2 per cent of the total farms in 2016. • 35.1 per cent of farms reported using automated steering technology in 2015. • The value of the land and buildings per acre in Manitoba increased by 64.5 per cent (in 2016 constant dollars) from 2011 to $1,919 per acre in 2016. At the national level, this value was $2,696 per acre. • 6.1 per cent of farms reported selling agricultural products directly to consumers in 2015.

“That is our future and it means there’s growth going on inside Manitoba.” Dan Mazier

Larger and more valuable farms Nationally, the value of agricultural land and buildings increased by 37.5 per cent between 2011 and 2016, but substantially more in Manitoba at 64.5 per cent. Meanwhile, farm profitability is unchanged from 2010. On average, for every dollar in sales, farms incurred 83 cents in operating expenses in 2015. Mazier said there needs to be more support for business risk management to encourage more young people to take on farming. “We’re risking more,” Mazier said. “And that is the concern as these young producers come in. A lot of these entities that are just starting up… they’re the vulnerable ones. We’re asking them to take on a bunch of debt and a bunch of risk.”

Overall decline in farmers There has been an overall decline in the number of farm operators in Canada since the last census. It counted 271,935 farm operators in 2016, 21,990 fewer than in 2011. In Manitoba the number dropped by 9.8 per cent to 20,140 farm operators in 2016. Nationally, 28.7 per cent of those operators are women, a slight increase since the last census. Manitoba’s figure was virtually unchanged at 23.8 per cent. Meanwhile 44.4 per cent of all operators in Canada have offfarm work, “usually as a means of supplementing their total income,” the StatsCan report said. In Manitoba that number was slightly lower at 42.9 per cent, down from 46.2 per cent in 2010.

New tool kit guides urban reserve process New resources can help First Nations and municipalities work together on economic development “A big part of this is to educate our membership and First Nations on the importance of these agreements so that they’re done in a way that’s collaborative, mutually respectful and allows both parties to feel good about the process in the end.”

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

hen Swan River and Sa p o t a w e y a k C re e Nation first began talks in 2010 to set up an urban reserve, the Parkland town’s council had no idea how to proceed. It needed to learn about what Treaty Land Entitlement was, and how to honour it, and what would be involved to convert a parcel to reserve land, says Swan River Mayor Glen McKenzie. Sapotaweyak’s council had more resources and was better informed about the process, he said. “But there was nothing for us to follow,” he said, adding his council had to hire legal advice before drawing up an agreement with their First Nation’s neighbour. It ultimately turned into a win-win agreement, he said. Sapotaweyak built a small gaming centre on the site. The enterprise created a dozen local jobs for both Aboriginal and nonAboriginal residents. It spurred economic development for both their communities, said McKenzie. “It’s been a plus for everybody,” he said.

Joe Masi AMM executive director

A newly released resource aims to explain how that process can work between other municipalities and First Nations too. The Treaty Land Entitlement Tool Kit, unveiled earlier this month in Winnipeg, contains resources such as a Community Accord template plus detailed information about Treaties, Indian Reserves, Treaty Land E n t i t l m e n t a n d C a n a d a’s Additions to Reserves process as well as a frequently asked questions section. The Association of Manitoba Municipalities, the Treaty Re l a t i o n s Co m m i s s i o n o f Ma n i t o b a a n d t h e Tre a t y Land Entitlement Committee (TLEC) of Manitoba committed to putting the document together two years ago after signing a memorandum of

understanding (MOU) — called Widokodadiwin, meaning ‘we all work together.’ The purpose of the tool kit is to clearly explain how the Treaty Land Entitlement process works and how it can help bring economic development and growth to communities, say First Nations and municipal officials. “ With constant electoral changeover at the municipal and First Nations level, the need for ongoing education on the Treaties and the Treaty Land Entitlement process cannot be overstated,” said TLEC president Chief Nelson Genaille. Joe Masi, AMM’s executive director agrees. This will help to educate municipal leaders about the Treaty Land Entitlements and why they must be honoured, Masi said.

“There are reasons why these agreements are in place, historically,” he said. As the tool kit points out, some municipalities arose within the traditional territory of a First Nation or within a previous First Nation settlement area; Treaty Land Entitlement provides the opportunity for First Nations to re-establish access and jurisdiction within their previously held areas. “A big part of this is to educate our membership and First Nations on the importance of these agreements so that they’re done in a way that’s collaborative, mutually respectful and allows both parties to feel good about the process in the end,” said Masi. Some municipalities have already gone through the process. Other urban reserves in Manitoba include Long Plain at Portage la Prairie, Swan Lake at Headingley, Nisichawayasihk at Thompson, Birdtail Sioux at Birtle and the Long Plains First Nation urban reserve in Winnipeg. McKenzie said the tool kit should help answer some of the questions his own council had when talks first began with Sapotaweyak. “It should be a good starting point,” he said. One of the

first matters that arises is taxes, McKenzie noted, adding that what their two communities worked out was a service agreement whereby Sapotaweyak pays to Swan River the equivalent in property taxes. “It’s assessed like any property in Swan River but instead of calling it tax, it’s a service fee, ” he said. The tool kit was released during the Municipal Officials Seminar in Winnipeg in midApril and has received the endorsement by both Eileen Clarke, provincial minister of indigenous and municipal relations and federal Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Carolyn Bennett. In a s t a t e m e n t Be n n e t t described the document as “reconciliation in action.” “The Treaty Land Entitlement Information Tool Kit is a great example of what can be accomplished when we work together towards the same shared goal,” she said in a news release. Clarke said the tool kit will foster stronger relationships between indigenous and nonindigenous communities, and help highlight the shared economic opportunities made possible through the TLE process. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

unicipal leaders in Western Canada want the federal government to revert back to a previous formula for payouts of disaster financial assistance, arguing the new method has the potential to triple costs to local governments. The Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (DFAA) program was created in 1970 to reimburse the provinces and individuals (via the province) for expenses resulting from disasters, natural or human caused. Changes made to its cost-sharing formula under the previous federal government, and which came into effect in February of 2015, eliminate federal funding for smaller disasters. That leaves local government vulnerable, said Association of Manitoba Municipalities president Chris Goertzen. Municipal-level government couldn’t bear the cost of large disaster on its own, if these costs were downloaded by provinces, he said. “It could put a municipality in a really tough spot to actually function properly,” he said. Goertzen met with his counterparts from the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA), the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties

(AAMDC) and the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) last week to discuss the matter. What they agree on is that the formula should revert back to what it originally was, he said. “The previous formula had a rate that was reasonable,” he said. “The new formula has the potential to increase costs so dramatically.” According to a federal report released in 2016 estimating average yearly costs for DFAA, payout thresholds under the new formula would result in payments being reduced by 50 per cent or more in 35 of 118 events assessed between 2005 and 2014. Eleven of those events under the new formula would not have received any funding. Another priority issue discussed last week was federal infrastructure funding. The association agreed to jointly advocate for a cost-sharing formula whereby municipalities would contribute 17 per cent of total project funding costs and the remainder coming from the provincial and federal governments. The group also discussed the importance of municipal input into project selection. “ We’ve m i s s e d va l u a b l e construction seasons already, and municipalities need to be engaged in the selection process in the future,” said Maryann Chickak, vice-president of AUMA in a news release. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

amendments to the transportation act last November, he said the proposed legislation will establish reciprocal penalties between shippers and railways in service-level a g re e m e n t s, b e t t e r d e f i n e adequate and suitable rail ser vice, improve access to the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) and improve the timeliness of CTA decisions. Garneau also said the government would “address the future of the maximum revenue entitlement and extended interswitching.” Grain companies and farmers have long argued Canada’s two major railways have a v i r t u a l m o n o p o l y m ov i n g grain to export ports. In the absence of a competitive rail market the industry says legislation is needed. Most grain companies and farm groups also want extended interswitching, i n t ro d u c e d by t h e f o r m e r

Conservative government in 2014 as a temporary measure, made permanent. At that time extended interswitching distances went to 160 km from 30. Interswitching allows a railway to access traffic on the other railway’s line and is intended to stimulate railway competition. Fa r m g r o u p s a l s o w a n t the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE) to continue, although most agree it could be improved. Under the MRE the CTA calculates the total amount of annual revenue the railways can collect from shipping grain based on a formula that gives the railways a fair return. Some farm organizat i o n s, i n c l u d i n g Ke y s t o n e Agricultural Producers (KAP), also want the legislation to order the CTA to review railway costs for shipping grain. KAP president Dan Mazier

Farm groups hope the legislation will continue to allow interswitching, the ability of railways to use each other’s tracks. file photo

he spring cattle rally may be finally coming to an end. Bids for most classes at stockyards across the province were the same or even slightly lower in some cases during the week ended May 12. Heavier-weight animals were steady to lower, with heifers (800-900 lbs.) down $3-$5. Steers (400-500 lbs.) were also down roughly $5. One market watcher says the downturn started late last week. “We started to see frontend June cattle crack and that has continued this week in a significant way,” said Anne Wasko, a market analyst at Cattle Trends and Gateway Livestock. On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, cattle futures declined roughly nine per cent compared to the week previous. Cash prices were also down, although some reports suggested this could help packer margins in the coming week. The market was really just correcting itself after a bullish run, Wasko said. “Certainly the amount of the rally that headed into the spring of 2017 was more than most of us were expecting.” Larger cattle supplies in the U.S. also made the timing of the rally unusual, she said. “Packers were aggressively processing cattle and pulling them forward while carcass weights came down, so the overall tonnage had a positive impact on the market.” Reducing carcass weight by 20-40 lbs. over a year ago has had a significant impact on the market, Wasko added. “This has to be a key driver.” Looking ahead, she said, the market will turn even lower once beef sales for Father’s Day are over.

“The market typically eases off as we get into the dog days of summer,” she said. Fortunately, feed and water don’t appear to be problems for any cattle-bearing regions of the province, with most dugouts full while haylands are said to be in good condition. Volumes were lower during the week ended May 12, with just 5,500 animals making their way through the ring, compared to over 7,500 last week. However, there is some optimism a newly signed agreement in the U.S. could provide a boost for the Canadian market. Late last week China agreed to start importing U.S. beef, in return for the U.S. allowing cooked Chinese poultry. The news proved to be a major talking point for ranchers and brokers in the U.S., while investors greeted the news with optimism. China is the fastest beef-growing market in the world. Still, some pundits cautioned the news might not translate into huge volumes of meat headed overseas and the futures market could be indifferent over the long term. The development also came on the same day Manitoba Beef Producers called on the Canadian government to do more to open up international borders.

China’s Cofco to import more European dairy, meat products REUTERS / BEIJING / China’s state-owned Cofco Corp. will import more dairy and pork products from Europe to meet the growing demand for highend food products, the conglomerate’s chairman said recently. The higher imports, along with an expansion of its domestic production, comes as China works to reform its sprawling agriculture sector, to optimize the supply structure, and

keep up with changing consumer demand. “Cofco’s purchase capacity in Europe will be further boosted as the Chinese economy develops and the Chinese people’s diet structure improves, especially as organic foods gain popularity among the pubic,” Cofco’s chairman Zhao Shuanglian said at the signing ceremony for an agricultural food co-operation agreement between Cofco and the Danish Embassy. On the sidelines of the same ceremony, Cofco vice-president and chairman of its meat division Ma Jianping said the company plans to increase its pig farm capacity by two-thirds

to five million hogs per year by 2020, to meet demand in the world’s biggest pork market. Cofco’s current capacity is three million tonnes. In a rural policy document published earlier this year, known as the No. 1 document, China embarked on a major shift in its agricultural policy, abandoning a long-held focus on self-sufficiency in favour of better meeting consumer demand. Beijing is trying to rebalance output away from basic grains towards foods such as meat, dairy and other higher-value products increasingly in demand from its urbanizing population.

Bearish factors for U.S. soy trump supports for canola

Average quotes as of May 15, 2017 ($/tonne)

Last fall’s canola could become this spring’s problem Phil-Franz Warkentin CNSC

CE Futures Canada canola contracts ran into upside resistance during the week ended May 12, as the commodity’s own supportive fundamentals were countered by the much more bearish outlook for U.S. soybeans. Canadian canola supplies are looking rather tight, with Statistics Canada showing only 6.6 million tonnes in the country as of March 31. That’s about two million tonnes lower than at the same time the previous year, which means exports and the domestic crush will need to slow down or supplies will run out. Both exports and the domestic crush are running well ahead of the year-ago pace, with exports of 8.6 million tonnes and a crush of 7.2 million tonnes (as of May 7, according to the Canadian Grain Commission), each about 800,000 tonnes ahead of what had moved through the system at the same point in 2016. Rationing that demand could lead to price spikes over the next few months if any buyers get caught short. On top of that, concerns over last year’s unharvested fields and this year’s seeding delays add another layer of support. Estimates vary, but a significant number of acres in Western Canada still must be cleaned up from 2016. In some cases no crop will be salvaged, and the clock is running out for getting fields in a state to seed something new for 2017. If the U.S. soybean crop were in the same situation, the U.S. market would be well above current levels. However, canola doesn’t operate that way. The Canadian oilseed is limited by what happens in the U.S., and the soy situation is much more bearish. Soybeans moved lower during the week, with ample supplies and ideas that U.S. acres may end up larger than original expectations weighing on prices. The U.S. Department of Agriculture last week released its monthly supply/demand report, which included the first official estimates on 2017 production. The U.S. soybean crop is fore-

cast at 4.255 billion bushels, which would be down slightly from the 4.307 billion grown the previous year. However, ending stocks are still forecast to rise to 480 million bushels, from 435 million for the current crop year, hitting their largest in a decade and their third largest ever. Wet weather in some parts of the U.S. Midwest keeps causing seeding delays for corn, which has the market pricing in ideas that some intended corn acres will shift into soybeans. CBOT corn bids held relatively rangebound during the week, although the Midwest’s weather issues kept the bias pointed slightly higher. U.S. corn ending stocks for 2017-18 are forecast by USDA at 2.11 billion bushels, compared to 2.295 billion for the current marketing year. For wheat, all three U.S. markets were trending lower during the week, as ample world supplies countered the small U.S. production estimates. U.S. wheat production for 2017-18 is forecast at 1.82 billion bushels, which would be down by about 500 million bushels from the previous year and the smallest U.S. wheat crop in over a decade. USDA also expects a 15-million-tonne decline in world wheat production, to 736 million tonnes. However, demand is also expected to be down, and total world wheat ending stocks are forecast to rise to a record 258 million tonnes by the end of the 2017-18 marketing year.

Western Canadian wheat bids trend lower Cash wheat values on the Prairies followed U.S. futures downward BY DAVE SIMS CNS Canada

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada were lower during the week ended May 12, weighed down by action in U.S. futures. Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were down by $1.20 to as much as $3.50 in the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of delivery points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about $230 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $251 in northern Alberta. Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but generally ranged from about $29 to $50 per

tonne above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollar-denominated futures and Canadian dollar cash bids. When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$168 to US$183 per tonne. That would put the currencyadjusted basis levels at about US$18$33 below the futures. Looking at it the other way around, if the Minneapolis futures are converted to Canadian dollars, CWRS basis levels across Western Canada range from $25 to $45 below the futures. Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were down by roughly $4.50, with prices coming in between $164 and $181 per tonne. Av e r a g e d u r u m p r i c e s w e r e

down $1-$2 per tonne, with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $255-$260 per tonne. The July spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted May 12 at US$5.465 per bushel, down by nearly eight U.S. cents from the previous week. Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The

July K.C. wheat contract was quoted May 12 at US$4.3925 per bushel, down nearly 11 U.S. cents compared to the previous week. The July Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled May 12 at US$4.3275, down by roughly 10 U.S. cents on the week. The Canadian dollar settled May 12 at 72.92 U.S. cents, unchanged compared to its U.S. counterpart to the previous week.

Beef producers react to U.S. NAFTA scare

Manitoba beef producers are watching the discussion over NAFTA closely, but both provincial and national beef industry groups say they see a silver lining BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

anitoba’s beef producers were initially alarmed by reports in late April that NAFTA was on the chopping block in the form of an executive order to withdraw from the trade agreement. Dissatisfaction with NAFTA was among Trump’s talking points during his 2016 election campaign along with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which he signed an order to withdraw from soon after taking office in January. Brian Lemon, Manitoba Beef Producers general manager, said NAFTA talks are a concern for his organization, but they curbed their alarm during the hours it looked like the U.S. might withdraw. “What we’ve learned from the short 100 days of the Trump administration is not to react too quickly and not to react to initial statements,” he said. “Certainly we heard it and certainly we recognized sort of instinctively almost what sort of impacts pulling out of NAFTA might have, not only for the cattle industry and probably not only for the agriculture industry, but for the Canadian economy. The U.S. is our largest trading partner, there’s no denying that. Having a good solid and reliable trading relationship with it is important to our economy; it’s important to agriculture and it is important to the cattle industry.” The province estimates that Manitoba exported $16.3 billion worth of products to the United States in 2015, far above secondplace China at $1.1 billion. The Manitoba beef industry is well integrated with its southern neighbours, Lemon added, particularly in the northern states along the international border.

Open to discussion Both the Manitoba Beef Producers a n d C a n a d i a n C a t t l e m e n’s Association (CCA) have said they are open to a NAFTA renegotiation. A list of industry priorities has been submitted to the federal government, CCA president Dan Darling has said. Among those priorities, both the Manitoba Beef Producers and Canadian Cattlemen’s Association hope to see current branding/tattooing requirements at the border end. Under current regulations, nonslaughter cattle must be identified with a “C^N” brand, “CAN” tattoo to the left ear or “be permanently and humanely identified by any other alternative method approved by the USDA before the shipment reaches the port of entry into the U.S.,”

Manitoba beef producers are keeping a wary eye on NAFTA renegotiations but see plenty of opportunity alongside the potential risks. PHOTO: thinkstock

according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Cattle and bison certified for slaughter in the U.S. do not require identifying marks. Other key issue the beef industry has flagged all centre around eliminating barriers to trade. “There are huge opportunities to harmonize regulations, to harmonize even availability of veterinarian drugs,” Lemon said. “There’s all kinds of opportunities around those sorts of issues that would make our producers more competitive with U.S. producers.” Border inspection stations are also on the list of things the beef industry would see eliminated. The issue affects both beef and pork markets heavily, Darling said. “Especially if you’re taking fresh product, fresh beef or fresh pork, it’s only got so much shelf life and the time it takes to get through these inspection places and the fact that they’re now exposed to air and everything else, the general rule of thumb is that if you send 11 loads down, one of the 11 is coming back because you won’t have time to get it on the shelf,” he said. Lemon further noted that Manitoba beef interests largely coincide with the industry throughout the rest of the Prairies and Manitoba Beef Producers will join other industry representatives if NAFTA talks go ahead. “When it comes to any sort of NAFTA renegotiation, should that happen, certainly we’re going to be at the table and we’re going to be fighting to be at the table to ensure that our interests are presented and recognized as part of any negotiations,” he said.

NAFTA and herd growth Added to the discussion is the provincial goal to grow Manitoba’s cattle herd from 485,000 to pre-BSE levels, about 750,000. The announcement was made by provincial Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler in 2016. “If we’re going to do that in a sustainable way, we need to make sure we have credible, reliable markets, so the opportunities to sell cattle into the U.S. system is an important piece of whatever potential we have to grow the herd,” Lemon said. “Putting more calves on the ground without having a market for them is very short sighted.” It is his hope that a NAFTA renegotiation might lead to increased cattle movement into the U.S. Many beef producers may also remember COOL, the U.S. country-of-origin labelling law that was the basis of an eight-year legal battle between the United States and Canada between 2007 and 2015. While a separate issue from NAFTA’s possible renegotiation, Lemon acknowledged the possibility of other restrictive legislation under the current administration. “We’re seeing sort of a growing nationalism or nationalistic perspective out of the U.S. and not just related to cattle, but more generally… We’re certainly recognizing that there is a real opportunity that there will be future efforts similar to a COOL to try and feed that nationalistic movement in the U.S.,” he said. Will CETA make up the difference? The answer is no, according to Darling. “To us, they’re two very different issues,” he said. “The European market is a market that we are in right now on a small scale. The numbers

we throw out, we’re only guessing what that market could really turn into, whereas with NAFTA we already know what the U.S. market is for us, so for us right now, the NAFTA right now is a bigger deal than CETA is.” The incoming trade deal between Canada and the European Union is still working through regulatory issues that limit access to European markets, particularly in terms of antimicrobial treatments such as citric acid, diluted peroxyacetic acid and lactic acid used in food processing. T h e C a n a d i a n C a t t l e m e n’s Association reports that supporting data on citric and peroxyacetic acid use is being prepared for the European Food Safety Authority. The body gave the green light for lactic acid use in beef carcasses, cuts and trimmings and recycled hot water in carcass decontamination in 2011, although recommendations have only partially been adopted by the EU, the CCA has said. “We view the techniques that Europe uses and what they want us to do as making a less safe product, so we’re not about to change what we’re doing but until they agree to the process that we’re doing, there’s not going to be much more beef product going into the EU than is going in there right now,” Darling said. Critics of the deal have also pointed to the European regulations on added growth hormones, an issue that may cut out a significant portion of Canadian beef eligible for the EU. CETA allows for 65,000 tonnes of duty-free beef and veal exports per year, phased in over six years. astockford@farmmedia.com

Fearing disease, Kenyans burn animal carcasses as drought deepens

Eyes on winterkill as producers assess forage stands Some forage fields are lagging, a number of producers in the east and central Manitoba have said, but the final toll is still up in the air BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD

BY GORAN TOMASEVIC Reuters/LOIYANGALANI, Kenya

Villagers in northern Kenya have begun to burn piles of animal carcasses, hoping to head off an outbreak of disease as their livestock starve to death in the region’s worst drought in five years. The smell of death hangs heavily over Lake Turkana and dried animal corpses dot the cracked mud where the lake has receded, leaving boats stranded on the dry land. Nomadic communities store their savings in animals rather than banks and each carcass is a major loss. The Kenyan government said 2.7 million people are affected by the drought. It estimates 20 per cent of livestock have died in the arid and semiarid counties, an area comprising about 80 per cent of Kenya’s landmass. “It is the worst drought since 2011,” said James Oduor, head of Kenya’s National Drought Management Authority. The government is running a “destocking” program, which pays herders for animals they would struggle to sell. It pays 2,000 Kenya shillings (US$20) for a goat or a sheep, and 15,000 Ksh for a cow. That’s half of the price of a healthy animal. “If they are in good condition, they can be moved to graze elsewhere. When they cannot be moved, the animal is slaughtered so the community can benefit from more food,” said Oduor. Villager Lokuukwi Achembe said his village lost around 2,000 goats. “This is our food and our way of living,” he said sadly. On the southern shore of Lake Turkana, famed for the harsh beauty of its landscape, residents are burning carcasses to stop the bodies from infecting water supplies if the rains come. Village elder Lowake Alishu said, “We are collecting the goats around the manyatta (group of thatched huts) to stop the spreading of disease.”

t appears forage producers in eastern Manitoba are suffering the same weatherrelated winterkill that hit winter wheat in the region. The Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA) says it has got reports of damage in the southeast corner of the province, while producers in the western Pembina Valley have also noted poor regrowth. “Part of that has to do with the rainfalls that we saw during that January-February period as well as the milder temperatures,” John McGregor, MFGA extension support, said. “We were kind of hoping it wasn’t going to happen but, as it turned out, it did.” According to association documents, alfalfa crowns may be damaged if soil temperature dips below -12 C at a depth of two inches and prolonged exposure at that temperature may kill the plant. Those conditions were met last winter, the association has said. Added to that is the impact from the mid-winter mild period, which ate away at the insulating snow layer. The association has estimated a fourinch layer of snow may provide 10° to 15° of protection. The melt, however, left portions of fields bare while pools of water later refroze, potentially suffocating the crop below. “What we’re hearing so far is it still could come back, but what we’re going to find is in those areas where there has been damage, the percentage will vary depending on the topography of the field and just how severe the stand was affected, whether it was an old stand or a young stand,” McGregor said. “Those are the kind of factors that we won’t know right now until we get closer for another couple of weeks.”

A field in the western Pembina Valley region is one of several in the area to report patchy regrowth.

“We were kind of hoping it wasn’t going to happen but, as it turned out, it did.” John McGregor Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association extension support

Doug Orchard, who farms just outside of Miami along the Pembina Valley escarpment, said he has winterkill for the first time on a field he sowed down about seven years ago. The winter damage affects about a third of the 50-acre field, he said, although damage is patchy. “It was worse early and it’s coming back very, very slowly, but I don’t think it’s going to totally recover,” he said. Other producers in the area are seeing similar problems. Some producers, McGregor says, have turned to overseeding the flagging alfalfa crop. “They need to assess the total (amount) of forage that they

need and, in that case, they may need to go in and overseed that alfalfa field with some grasses or cereals like oats or barley so they can collect some greenfeed or they may need to put aside some other fields and grow some annual forages in that to make up the shortfalls,” McGregor said. While reported anecdotally, the damage did not make its way onto the May 8 provincial crop report, which reported the majority of pastures in the east in “good to fair” condition. Meanwhile, conditions in central Manitoba ranged from “poor” to “good.” The report noted that excess moisture was a concern in some

fields, although forages generally progressed well during the first week of May. Fields in the Interlake were at or near moisture capacity, the report noted, while regrowth in northwest Manitoba has been limited. David Van Deynze, vice-president of insurance operations with the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation, says few forage claims have been made in 2017, although that would be expected at this time of year. “Winterkill, obviously, is a legitimate cause of loss, but it really is based on, or is going to come into play, when they go to harvest this forage and when they have a low yield at the end of the year, they’re going to report that to us and that’s when a potential claim would kick in,” he said. Van Deynze noted that producers with damage severe enough that they need to reestablish a stand must first call MASC so the loss can be evaluated. astockford@farmmedia.com

Dispelling the myths about steroid use in beef production

Talk about ‘steroid-free beef’ is misleading — they are rarely used and only for very specific reasons ROY LEWIS DVM Beef 911

here has been lots said lately about added steroids in beef. Although steroids are used for very specific treatments regarding specific conditions, their use if anything is minimal and has been greatly reduced even further with the NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). This article will go over specific uses where steroids produce beneficial results to our livestock industry and are used for at most two to three days in most circumstances. Steroids are produced by the adrenal gland in normal mammals and released in stressful situations. That is why in research, a measuring stick for stress can be salivary cortisol (a specific steroid). The ones used, and approved for use, in veterinary medicine are slight variations of this molecule with slightly different properties. Veterinarians recognize the advantages of each and use them appropriately yet very conservatively. They were, at

one time, administered along with antibiotics to reduce the inflammation in lungs with pneumonia. But since steroids can be immunosuppressive, they have been pretty much replaced with NSAIDs. Steroids are not prescription medications but veterinarians treat them as such, so are prescribed when they know there will be a benefit to give them. There are also some contraindications, which is why NSAIDs have currently taken over many of the former uses of steroids. About the only time they are given en masse in the feedlots is as an abortifacient (abortion-causing drug). They are used here in combination with a prostaglandin to ensure very close to a 100 per cent abortion rate. It is for this reason that when used for other purposes, a veterinarian must warn of the possibility of aborting in pregnant animals. Calving is initiated from cortisol coming from the fetal adrenal gland, so using the steroids to initiate calving mimics this process. Sometimes steroids and prostaglandins are given to every heifer in the feedlot, and sometimes veterinarians will palpate the heifers and only use the products on the pregnant ones. Either way

Steroids are not prescription medications but veterinarians treat them as such, so are prescribed when they know there will be a benefit to give them.

one shot of this combination relieves many calving-related problems later on in underage heifers. This is a huge benefit to animal welfare. This is a necessary step as many young heifers exposed to bulls breed much too early and this is why this problem even exists. I have not looked at the numbers, but my guess is the bulk of steroids are used as a one-time event, long before slaughter is even thought about. Some steroids have actual slaughter withdrawals as short as four days, so they are generally eliminated fairly quickly. There are only a few individual uses of steroids in production animals and one of these is in allergic reactions. Because steroids are immunosuppressive they decrease the immune response in an allergic reaction and reduce the fluid accumulation and swelling. In severe cases, of course,

epinephrine will be used along with this. Steroids in these cases can save animals’ lives and may be repeated in short order, but only for a day or so. A type of respiratory condition called AIP (similar to highaltitude disease) is another reason for using steroids. Given, in many cases, with antihistamines, these two products may help. But talk to your veterinarian about the diagnosis and specific treatments they recommend for these types of respiratory conditions. They may recommend this same treatment for viral causes of pneumonia, such as BRSV or IBR, and often antibiotics are given concurrently to prevent secondary infection. I believe steroids get the bad rap because in human and small-animal medicine they are used in the treatment of many chronic skin conditions and hyper-immune responses and once the body becomes reli-

ant on them, the adrenal gland starts to shut down. So once on longer-term treatments you cannot stop them cold turkey but must gradually decrease the dosage to allow the adrenal gland to increase production again. With such short-term treatment in production animal medicine this is almost never the case. In summar y, steroids — although used very sparingly in veterinary medicine in largeanimal production — are necessary products we need to have access to. A large number of former uses have been replaced by NSAIDs, but there are certain conditions where steroids are still the drugs of choice so clinics will carry a small inventory. Statements by some fast-food chains, such as ones by A&W, that imply that beef has added steroids are misleading. If they are used in rare instances, withdrawal times are relatively short since they are excreted relatively quickly. Always use them, when necessary, on the advice from your veterinarian. Roy Lewis practised large-animal veterinary medicine for more than 30 years and now works part time as a technical services veterinarian for Merck Animal Health.

WEATHER VANE “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.” Mark Twain, 1897

Pleasant spring weather ahead Issued: Monday, May 15, 2017 · Covering: May 17 – May 24, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

he introductions to my forecasts are beginning to sound a bit like a broken record: Last week’s forecast didn’t turn out exactly as predicted… The first part of last week’s forecast played out pretty well. We did end up in a rather cool northwesterly flow in the upper atmosphere, while a strong upper low to our west kept us in a fairly strong easterly flow at the surface. This resulted in cooler-than-average temperatures (especially over eastern regions) at the beginning of last week’s forecast, with milder air moving in over the weekend. The start of this week is where the weather models fell apart. The arctic high ended up pushing much farther east and as a result, a southern low forecast to pass by well to our south was able to take a much more northerly route. Looking to the second half of this week and into the May long weekend, the weather models are once again struggling to come to a consensus. Currently, it looks like the early-week storm system will be followed by a fairly strong area

of arctic high pressure. This will bring fairly cold air into our region for Thursday and Friday. Expect daytime highs only in the low teens, with overnight lows probably falling below 0 C in any of the frost-prone areas. Over the weekend this high should slowly slide to the east, allowing our winds to become more southerly. This, combined with the strong late-spring sunshine, should allow temperatures to recover back toward the low 20s by Saturday or Sunday. Sunny and mild weather should continue into Victoria Day along with what looks to be light winds. This pleasant spring weather should continue into the first part of next week. A weak area of low pressure is then forecast to slide through central Manitoba sometime on Tuesday. This system will likely bring a mix of sun and clouds along with the slight chance of a shower or thundershower. Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 13 to 26 C; lows, 1 to 10 C.

TEMPERATURE GRAPH — BRANDON

For this issue I thought it was time to take a break from precipitation maps. I’ve included here a temperature graph for Brandon that shows the daily maximum and minimum temperatures along with the departure from average for the last 365 days, ending May 13. Looking at the pattern in the centre graph, it will be interesting to see what the next month might have in store for us. Will we continue to see a shorter and less pronounced warm spell or will we see a rebound since the last below-average period was less intense than the previous ones?

Hail needs the right kind of storm to form For hail to hit the ground, freezing air shouldn’t be too high aloft BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

hile we haven’t seen much in the way of severe summer weather across Manitoba yet this spring, areas to our west have had a bit of a taste. In the last issue we looked at what makes a thunderstorm become severe. In this issue we are going to look at what is probably the most feared and costly summer severe weather event: hail. If you have spent any significant amount of time living on the Prairies, there is a good chance you have probably experienced a hailstorm. While hail can occur pretty much anywhere across North America, there are two main regions where the chances of experiencing a hailstorm are significantly higher. The first region is the central United States; the second is the Canadian Prairies and in particular Alberta. For those of you who routinely read my column, then you know I have a fair number of weather peeves. Well, I have another one and, you guessed it, it has to do with hail, or rather, the improper use of the term hail. Hail refers to the falling of ice from a cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) cloud. Ice pellets, snow pellets and graupel (a snowflake that has been coated in ice) are not hail and should not

The topography of Alberta is such that while ground temperatures can be really warm, the freezing layer is not that high up relative to what it might be in Manitoba.

be called hail. These types of precipitation will often occur in the spring or late fall and are not associated with thunderstorms. You need to have a thunderstorm for hail to occur. One of the first questions I get asked about hail is: Can it be too warm for hail? The answer: Yes. If the upper atmosphere is warm, the freezing level in the atmosphere is very high up. If a thunderstorm does develop, and if hail forms in the storm, chances are that the hail will melt well before it ever reaches the ground. So, the key ingredient for hail to form is to have plenty of cold air aloft and to make sure that it is not too high off the ground. This is one of the reasons why Alberta and the higher elevations of the U.S. Midwest experience more than their share of hail. The higher elevation often means the freezing layer is lower to the ground, meaning a greater chance that hail will not melt before making it to the ground. Most thunderstorms will produce hail; the question is whether

the hail will grow large enough to make it to the ground without completely melting. As we have already discussed, a very low freezing level helps this happen, because the hailstone only has a short distance to fall through the relatively warm air. Another way to keep a hailstone from melting before it hits the ground is to start off with a really big hailstone! This is one of the main reasons Alberta sees so much hail compared to everywhere else in Canada. The topography of Alberta is such that while ground temperatures can be really warm, the freezing layer is not that high up relative to what it might be in Manitoba. Now, here is where a second common misconception about thunderstorms and hail lies. To get really big hailstones you do not necessarily need a really tall (or high) thunderstorm. Hail forms when a particle passes from the warm (liquid) part of the cloud into the cold (freezing) part of the cloud. When this occurs, any water on the particle freezes and you now have a

small hailstone. Now, if that hailstone just kept going up toward the top of the thunderstorm it wouldn’t accumulate much more ice and therefore it would remain small. For hailstones to get really big they must go back into the warm (liquid) section of the storm, pick up more water, then go back up into the cold section of the cloud so the water can freeze. Repeat this cycle a number of times and you can get some really big hailstones. Picture a popcorn machine, or better yet, an old-fashioned bingo machine. The balls, or hailstones, are continually moving up and down due to the strong updraft. When it comes to hail, size really does matter! Pea-sized

hail will do little if any damage to structures or plants, while golf ball-sized hailstones can literally destroy everything in their path. When it comes to measuring hailstone size, things become a little strange. That is, you don’t usually hear that the hail will be around 50 mm in diameter. Instead, you hear that the hail was the size of a golf ball or an egg. Of all the things we measure in regards to weather, hail has by far the most descriptive measurements. The table here shows some of the more common descriptive terms used for hail and the approximate size such a hailstone would be. To end off this week’s article, the biggest hailstone ever recorded fell in Nebraska in 2003 and measured seven inches in diameter (a softball is about 4.5 inches in diameter)! The heaviest hailstone ever recorded fell in Kansas and weighed in at 1.67 lbs.! On a more global scale, in 1983, hailstones reportedly as heavy as 2.2 lbs. fell in Bangladesh, India. It has been estimated that hailstones this large hit the ground travelling at nearly 100 miles per hour! The storm in Bangladesh resulted in 90 fatalities as a result of the hail. The longest-lasting hailstorm lasted 85 minutes and covered the ground to a depth of 46 cm! This is what happened in June 1959 in the town of Selden, Kansas. I can’t image what that would have been like. Next week: Tornadoes!

Soybean seeding advanced in central region, gearing up in the west As with all crop protection products, read and follow label instructions carefully. Member of CropLife Canada.

t’s the fourth week of May, but it’s still not too late to seed soybeans in Manitoba. In fact, usually the third and fourth weeks of May are when most soybeans are planted in this province, crop insurance data shows. It also shows from 2010 to 2014 soybeans planted then still had an almost 100 per cent chance of reaching their full yield potential, Amir Farooq, Manitoba Agriculture’s pulse crop specialist based in Hamiota, said during the Westman CropTalk webinar May 10. While soybean planting was off to a good start earlier this month in the central region, farmers in western Manitoba were expected to be ramping up this week, weather permitting. Last week the forecast was calling for rain. Mid-May is an ideal time for seeding soybeans. Usually the soil is warm enough to quickly ger minate soybeans and the risk of frost, while still there, is reduced. But this year planting is probably a bit ahead of schedule in central Manitoba. As of May 8, Manitoba Agriculture pulse crop specialist Dennis Lange estimated 10 to 30 per cent of the central region’s soybeans had been seeded. “The big thing this year has been conditions in some areas have been good for seeding and with large equipment farmers can move very quickly from one crop to the next crop,” Lange said in an interview May 10. “Nowadays with the big equipment you pop in your wheat and the weather is good and you just keep going. That’s why in some areas I’ve heard, such as Lowe Farm, some growers have finished up (planting soybeans) already.”

Fa r o o q s a i d s oy b e a n s e e d moisture should be 12 to 13 per cent. Seed drier than 10 per cent moisture could be damaged during the seed-treating process. One of the most important considerations when seeding soybeans is getting the correct plant population, Farooq said. It

varies with the variety, but ranges from 180,000 to 200,000 plants an acre, he said. The Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers Association’s bean app includes a plant population calculator. The app is available in iTunes and Google Play. (Learn more about the app

at http://www.manitobapulse. ca/production/bean-app/.) While it’s still possible to get a good yield with 100,000 plants an acre, there are likely going to be weed challenges stemming from a less competitive crop. See Soybean seeding on page 18 »

Soybean seeding Continued from page 17

A simple way to check plant population is to do random counts within a Hula Hoop and multiply by 20,000. If there are 20 plants in the Hula Hoop, that’s equivalent to 200,000 an acre. Fa ro o q a l s o o ffered thi s advice: • Avoid seeding soybeans if the forecast calls for cool weather. (If newly seeded soybeans take in cold water that can result in a stressed seedling or even prevent germination.) • S e e d s oy b e a n s i n t o s o i l that’s at least 8 to 10 C to promote quick germination. • D o u b l e - i n o c u l a t e w h e n seeding into fields new to soybeans to promote good nodulation. The nodules produce nitrogen and a shortage can reduce yields. • To ease harvest roll soybean fields when they are in the first trifoliate. Don’t roll during the hook stage, just as soybeans emerge when the crop is more susceptible to breaking. It’s also best to roll during a warm afternoon to reduce damage. Scout the field first to ensure it’s at the right stage to roll. To avoid compaction don’t roll wet fields. • S eed to moisture, but don’t g o t o o s h a l l ow o r d e e p. Three-quarters to one inch deep is ideal. • S oybean seedling can tolerate more frost than plants in the V1 or V2 stage. Seedlings can take -1.1 to -1.7 C for a short time and even -2.2 if hardened by previously cool temperatures. But plants in the V1 to V2 stage can be damaged at 0 C. • Following a spring frost be patient. Sometimes the soybeans will grow back. Even a plant population of 120,000 per acre is better than reseeding. With soybeans susceptible

to late-spring and early-fall frosts there’s always a risk of planting too soon or late. Far mers have to make the decision taking into account the date, soil temperature, 24-hour forecast and their t o l e ra n c e f o r r i s k , Fa ro o q said. If farmers have a lot of soybeans to plant, they have to start sooner, Lange said. Weather is a big factor. It’s difficult to predict more than a few days out.

Jon Tester’s resolution to the U.S. Senate’s finance committee, the Wester n Canadian Wheat Growers Association ( WCWGA) issued a news release urging Ottawa to “harmonize regulations and ensure the free flow of wheat between Canada and the United States.” Tester’s resolution states Canada should grade Canadian and American wheat the same way and that the president should examine whether Canada’s g ra d i n g l a w s a d h e re t o trade agreements and “insist on full access for United States expor ters of wheat to the Canadian market.” It’s not a new issue and it’s one Cereals Canada wants addressed too, executive director Cam Dahl said in an interview May 9. “We should address this and take it off the table,” he said.

Canadian wheat exports that include U.S. wheat m u s t a l s o b e d e c l a re d , which could prompt grain companies to segregate U.S. wheat, making it less attractive to Canadian elevators, U.S. officials claim. Bu t Ma c Au l a y ’s o f f i c e says American wheat can be purchased by Canadian grain companies and processors. “Canada’s grain-grading system does not prohibit U.S. producers from

contracting with Canadian grain companies and re c e i v i n g f a i r va l u e f o r their product,” MacAulay’s office said in an email May 9. “There is nothing in the c u r re n t g r a i n - h a n d l i n g s y s t e m p re v e n t i n g U . S . producers from entering into contracts with grainhandling companies or processors located in Canada to get a fair price for the quality of product being delivered.” W h i l e C a n a d a’s g r a i n industry — including the Western Grain Elevators Association — agrees, the industry says a change to accommodate the U.S. isn’t hard to do. “It w ould n’t h ave a ny negative impact on Canada,” Dahl said. T h e m i n i s t e r ’s o f f i c e noted agricultural trade, worth $50 billion a year, is important to both countries. “ We are committed to ensur ing our integrated economies will continue to benefit all Canadians a n d A m e r i c a n s, i n c l u ding farmers,” the minister’s office wrote, stopping short of saying whether the gover nment will amend the Canada Grain Act. When asked by email if the government was planning an amendment, and if not, why not, in a May 11 response the minister’s o f f i c e s a i d : “ We u n d e rstand that there continues to be interest in updating the Canada Grain Act. The minister has been listening to stakeholders to hear their views on this and other issues affecting Canada’s grain sector.” WCWGA president Levi Wood said he wasn’t disappointed with MacAulay’s answer. “I would say we’d obvi-

ously like to see him do it,” Wood said. “But I think it might be part of the political environment we are in right now. There is a lot of posturing going on... with renegotiating NAFTA being a big one. I’m hoping maybe potentially this is something that can’t be addressed in some of those changes. I think we are going to see it.” The government might prefer to make the change in a bill proposing a wide range of changes to the legislation, Wood added. T h e p re v i o u s g ov e r n ment included the amendment in two bills, but neither became law. T h e W C W G A d o e s n’t want a small complaint to blow up and restr ict Canadian grain farmers’ access to U.S. markets, Wood said. “Access to the U.S. is one way of creating ancillary competition for our products,” he said. “It i s v e r y i m p o r t a n t access for the Canadian farmer to be able to enter the U.S. market. I think it helps to increase the competition and sometimes the price and sometimes the basis for farmers simply because it does serve as a competitive measure.” That was part of Wood’s message when he testi f i e d b e f o r e t h e Ho u s e o f C o m m o n s Tr a d e Committee May 11 in Ottawa. “It is very much a simmering issue,” Wood said. “We’d like to see it dealt with before it became more of a broad issue and it started to have a negative impact on industries on both sides of the border.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

Flax council cautions on seed integrity The group is worried more acres could see the return of Triffid STAFF

“If you choose to plant your own farm-saved seed, we strongly encourage producers to test your farm-saved seed prior to planting to maintain the integrity of the seed supply.”

ith the latest official acreage estimates showing a jump in flax acres across much of Western Canada, the Flax Council of Canada is urging caution. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s latest Seeded Acreage Report is expecting 1.1 million acres to go into the ground this year, putting pressure on seed supplies, and putting the integrity of that supply at risk, the council says. It’s concerned saved flaxseed could contain the unapproved GM variety Triffid, which has been largely purged from the system. “If you choose to plant your own farm-saved seed, we strongly encourage producers to test your farm-saved seed prior to planting to maintain the integrity of the seed supply,” the flax council wrote in a press release.

Flax Council of Canada

More flax acres are increasing the risk of use of old seed that could contain the unregistered GM variety Triffid. PHOTO: istock

“Flax producers were instrumental in the elimination of Triffid from the system, but it is critical that producers continue to use a known source of Triffidfree seed.” They’re also reminding growers most new flax varieties are protected by Plant Breeders’

Rights and can only be sold by an authorized dealer. Certified seed is still in good supply, and the council is strongly recommending growers returning to flax start off on a solid footing by planting certified seed. They say using certified seed

comes with a number of benefits to growers, including: • Assurance of the genetic purity of varietal traits; • Strict standards governing the presence of weed seeds; and • Good germination standards and germ testing prior to sale. They also note that using binrun seed includes risks, such as: • Storage damage that can impair germ potential; • The r isk of ger mination impairment through pre-harvest glyphosate applications; and

• The risk of recontaminating the seed supply with old varieties such as Triffid.

New truck-train transload facility near Letellier Staff / Mid Canada Transload Services has announced construction of a new truck-train transload facility on a rail siding and industrial park on a 250-acre site one mile south of Letellier and seven miles from the U.S. border. It will be located alongside Highway 75 and have access to the CN and BNSF railways. The company said the site will have daily rail service to and from the United States and Mexico. In a release, Mid Canada said the concept of a new transloading site is the idea of Real Tetrault, president and CEO of Emerson Milling Inc., an oat-milling plant at Emerson. His company is already shipping oat products by CN rail into the United States and Mexico. They are loaded on CN rail and the rail cars are interchanged at Emerson with the BNSF railway. This led to the idea of building an industrial park to transload other products that travel by rail but still require a truck to move the product to and from the rail site. “We are offering a service to and from our rail site and we will transload the customers’ product in a safe and efficient environment,” Tetrault said in the release. Mid Canada said the facility will include a private producer car loading site to allow farmers to ship their products by rail to either Canadian, U.S. or Mexican destinations.

TAKE CONTROL EVERY SEASON. Power is the key to superior tractor performance, and the M7 has plenty of power. But when a particularly tough job demands even more power, the M7 activates its Power Boost, and the engine instantly delivers more power to let you finish what you started.

Sunflowers down, but not out in Western Canada BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN CNS Canada / Winnipeg

Canadian sunflower seedings will be down in 2017, but perhaps not by as much as the official government estimate. Statistics Canada forecast the country’s sunflower area at only 50,000 acres in its planting intentions report. That would be down from 70,000 the previous year and the second-lowest acreage base of the past 40 years. However, the industry thinks the StatsCan number is a little low, with actual intentions likely 5,000 to 10,000 acres above the official estimate, according to Darcelle Graham, executive director of the National Sunflower Association of Canada. She noted that contract prices for confectionery seed were up on the year, while oilseed prices were steady. “From a marketing side, processors are still interested in contracting sunflower acres if they can get them.” Sunflowers are competing with many other crop options, with soybeans in particular accounting for more and more acres in the main sunflower-growing regions of Manitoba. “You don’t see an increase in soybeans without it coming from somewhere,” said Graham. While confectionery seed prices did show an improvement over the year, there are challenges in reaching human consumption standards while the marketing options for oilseed varieties are also more abundant. However, there are currently no commercial sunflower oil processors in Canada, with the country “the No. 1 importer of sunflower oil from the U.S.,” said Graham.

Food fraud a challenge to whole food supply chain Building trust in food’s origin is integral to adding value BY JOHN GREIG

“When I speak onstage about food fraud, people look at me funny. It can’t be happening in Canada.”

Toronto / Glacier FarmMedia

armers are used to the conversation about how to manage trust with consumers. Food companies are learning it too, and finding food fraud to be a significant concern. Food fraud “comes back to trust,” according to Renata McGuire of NSF Consulting and Technical Services. “Do I trust this brand?” McGuire, along with Sylvain Charlebois, dean of the school of management at Dalhousie University and Dana McCauley, CEO of Blue Unicorn Innovations, was part of a panel on issues in the food industry at the recent SIAL food show in Toronto. NSF, which does crisis management around food safety, recently conducted a survey of the food industry to gauge its concerns. Food safety and food fraud w e re t h e t o p t w o a n t i c i pated influences on the food system. About 30 per cent of respondents to the sur vey had a plan in place to manage food fraud. “If 30 per cent have a plan, I’d like to see it,” said Charlebois. “We are just starting a collective conversation about food fraud. If you go out there on the street and a s k p e o p l e, ‘A re yo u c o n cer ned about food fraud?’ they go, ‘What?’” However, Charlebois said, a s h e t ra v e l s t h e c o u n t r y speaking about food issues, including food fraud, he inevitably is approached by someone after the event with a food fraud story. “When I speak onstage about food fraud, people look at me funny. It can’t be happening in Canada,” he said. As she deals with startup companies, labelling is an early point of confusion,

Sylvain Charlebois

Consumers are just figuring out what food fraud is to them, Sylvain Charlebois says. Photo: John Greig

McCauley said. People are often tricked in the grocery store by labels. It’s not food fraud, she said, but a lack of clarity. An example is the Made in Canada label which can include ingredients from outside of the country, she said. Her examples illustrate the fuzzy nature of food fraud. No one really understands the amount of food fraud out there, said Charlebois. It can come from any place in the complex food chain, from farmers, to wholesalers, to processors, and retailers. One of the challenges is

that food fraud perpetrators in the supply chain can toss issues from one company to another. A manufacturer may receive some raw mater ial from a distributor that isn’t what it is claimed to be. They might reject it, but then the distributor could resell it to another buyer. “They just resell it and purchasing says, ‘Wow, I’ve got a great deal here.’” “In the industry, most people know it is a problem, but they don’t want to talk about it. It needs to be encouraged,” said Charlebois.

Whistleblowing has potential, he said, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has a bureau for consumers to report when they have experienced food that is not what they expected it to be. Charlebois said he was once asked by a TV host if food fraud is a victimless crime. “I said absolutely not. The food system is the victim.” Consumer trust is important to the economic health of the food system, he said. Companies, such as many of those exhibiting at SIAL, are tr ying to add value to basic foodstuffs, for greater share of the consumer dollar and more profit, and building trust that what is in the food can be trusted is integral. T h e N S F s u r ve y o f f o o d companies also found: • 4 0 per cent say there is little or no impact, or they are unsure of the impact of corporate social responsibility on their brand; • 7 2 per cent are not planning any changes due to the ‘Trump effect’ threatening companies that manufacture outside of the U.S.; • 6 6 per cent are not sure about the impact of the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic a n d Tr a d e A g r e e m e n t (CETA); and • 5 7 per cent said the industry should monitor the safety of new food innovations and technology.

Wet weather delays seeding in western Manitoba Field work was limited into the second week of May in northwestern Manitoba, while the southwest fought rain BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

arts of western Manitoba were fighting wet fields in the second week of May, but D a n M a z i e r, p r e s i d e n t o f Ke y s t o n e A g r i c u l t u ra l Producers, says that’s nothing new. Mazier said it is not unusual for seeding to begin between May 1 and May 10. It makes it no less frustrating for farmers near Minnedosa, however, some of whom had just started their tractors in the first week of May when the region was hit by up to 25 m i l l i m e t re s o f r a i n M a y

7, grinding field work to a halt. Other areas north of the Trans-Canada Highway, including Forrest and Ro s s b u r n , s a w t h e m o s t rainfall. “Lots of people just got nicely started,” Mazier said. “I know, ourselves even, we just got going on Saturday (May 6). There was the odd guy who had put in some wheat here and there, like, picking their fields, but they’re all sitting against this wheat stubble from last year and it has a tendency to be a little bit wetter anyways, versus the canola stubble.” As of May 8, seeding in southwest Manitoba lagged north of the Trans-Canada Highway, with five to 10 per

cent of seeding complete compared to 10 to 15 per cent closer to the U.S. international border. Producers in the area are not in “panic mode” yet, Mazier said, but the region is in sore need of some drying heat. To the north, field operations had just begun as of May 8, with producers “challenged with determin-

i n g w h i c h f i e l d s a re d r y enough to enter in,” according to the May 8 provincial crop report. “Fields in The Pas remain wet with limited spring activity occurring. Many producers throughout the region are also challenged with management of unharvested acres of canola, peas and corn.” Rainfall near Dauphin ranged from 13-22 millimetres May 7, also stymying seeding efforts, while Mazier noted that fields near Swan River had only recently dried from the spring melt enough for traffic. “A n y w h e r e t h a t ’s unworked stubble, anything like that is pretty wet and the ground’s still cold and

they just got about a halfinch of water,” Mazier said. Conditions improve t ow a r d S a n d y L a k e a n d Shoal Lake. Despite the delays, Mazier estimates that some producers in the west will wrap up their wheat seeding by midMay and will then shift their focus to canola. While unharvested acres were not as severe as Alberta, which had almost a million unharvested acres last fall, or in Saskatchewan with an estimated 1.3 mill i o n a c re s, a n e s t i m a t e d 100,000 acres in Manitoba still had crop on the field when the snow melted. astockford@farmmedia.com

he medical centre’s doors are open, but the doctor is not in at Baldur in the RM of Argyle. According to Bob Conibear, chair of the Baldur Health Care Committee, the community lost its single physician last year to health problems. The void was then filled by a part-time nurse practitioner and a decision will be made in May whether the position becomes full time. “It’s a big impact,” Conibear said. “You have a nurse practitioner, which is great to have, but there’s a lot of things that they can’t provide.” According to provincial guidelines, a nurse practitioner can prescribe most medications, order and interpret most diagnostic tests, provide vaccinations and perform minor procedures such as stitches. The Baldur Health Centre has no emergency room, but contains a clinic, pharmacy, personal care home and transitional unit for patients awaiting transport to a bigger hospital. With only one nurse practitioner available, the facility has become reliant on teleconferenced-in specialists and is not open consistently, Conibear says, and the result leaves residents travelling to Brandon or Boundary Trails Health Centre near Morden, both over an hour away. “Killarney is an option too, but it’s so loaded up with things, you can’t get in there, so basically you’re heading to Brandon or Boundary Trails,” Conibear said.

Familiar tale Baldur’s story is not unique and it is one repeating across rural Manitoba, where small-town hospitals have fought for years to both draw physicians and keep them once they arrive. About 28 per cent of Manitoba’s population is rural — ranked in the middle of other provinces, although 10 per cent higher than the national average — and 63 of the province’s 73 hospitals lie in a rural area, according to the Provincial Clinical and Preventive Services Planning for Manitoba report. The report, released in February as part of health-care cost reduction efforts, also found that Manitoba falls below the national average on both regular access and regular contact with a doctor. “The biggest thing is, when people are recruiting to small towns, nobody wants to be the only doctor there. So if there’s one or two doctors there, people don’t want to relocate to a community like that,” Killarney-Turtle Mountain Mayor Rick Pauls said. The RM of Killarney-Turtle Mountain is one of several areas in southwest Manitoba to make headlines after taking active measures to recruit or retain staff. Last year, the municipality spent $250,000 in taxpayer funds to bring in two international doctors, one from Ireland and one from England. Both are employees of the regional health authority (RHA), leaving the municipality with a bill of $250,000 to cover recruiting fees, resettlement costs and legal fees. “The RHA recruits for the region,” Pauls said. “So when it’s looking for the region, it’s looking for a lot of these larger centres — Brandon, Dauphin — as well. It will get a doctor for the region; place them where

the need is, but it’s not necessarily the best fit for the doctors themselves. So when we get these international medical grads, what a lot of times we see happen is they won’t stay for longer than four years. As soon as their return-of-service agreement is done, they leave. “What we did is we took the approach to specifically recruit for our community, so these doctors knew that they were going to be practising in Killarney; this is the hospital they’re going to be looking at; this is where they could possibly live; this is all the amenities that they have in our town and we sold them on the town rather than coming here to be a physician. We think because of that they’re going to be here long term.” About 3,500 people live in Killarney, with about 12,000 in the surrounding area potentially reliant on the hospital, Pauls said. The two doctors arrived over the last six months and bring the health centre’s staff to five. “It’ll definitely ease up on some of the times for a regular checkup, but we’ve never lost any services because of (staffing lack,)” Pauls said. Recruitment is the latest, but not first, effort to draw physicians to Killarney-Turtle Mountain. About five years ago, the council purchased a condo to house temporary physicians, a model that has since spread to Glenboro, 70 kilometres to the north. A two-bedroom apartment was rented in March to house storm-stayed staff and the temporary doctors, or locums, the community of 650 has become increasingly reliant on. Tracy Rimmer of the Glenboro Health Action Committee says 1,800 to 2,000 area residents rely on the local health centre, but staffing has declined from three physicians to one, who is near retirement age, plus a nurse practitioner about to go on maternity leave. The decision to take a more proactive approach already appears to be helping though. “We have already noticed that medical professionals are more willing to come here rather than go to, say, Carberry and have our situations taken up there by ambulance,” she said. The committee has raised funds to rent the apartment for a year, although Rimmer has said the group intends to maintain the space long term.

Prior to March, locums were lodged with residents, a situation Rimmer says discouraged temporary doctors from working in Glenboro. She added that there have been instances where no doctor was available. The Glenboro facility is equipped for acute care and includes a clinic and personal care home. Like Killarney, the committee hopes to actively recruit a physician to the area and has been in contact with both the KillarneyTurtle Mountain council and Prairie Mountain Health. “This is not a situation where we are telling the province that the health region is not doing its job,” Rimmer said. “This is a situation where we feel that communities have to step up and do their part. The health region is doing the best it can, but this is not a unique story. This is just one community saying, ‘We’re going to better our odds if we possibly can.’ All of the lobbying and all of the criticizing of the healthcare administration, it doesn’t help. Just get out there and do this for yourself. If your community needs a doctor, then find one.” Prairie Mountain Health CEO Penny Gilson said that “many” communities besides Glenboro and Killarney have taken an active role in recruiting and retaining health-care professionals. “Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) works in partnership with the communities – sometimes a joint effort yields success with PMH focusing on the practice environment side of things and the community on what the community specifically has to offer as people need to make a choice to ‘live and work’ in the communities,” she said. In March, Prairie Mountain Health was handed a $17.5-million “savings target” by the province and was told to cut 15 per cent of management positions. The health authority has not commented in detail on its financial standing, saying only that talks with the province continue. “PMH would obviously prefer that all health-care vacancies, not just for physicians but all health-care workers, were filled but that is not the reality so the region continues to try and ensure as much service access as possible with the resources available while continuing ongoing recruitment efforts,” Gilson said. Jason Falk, chair of the Carberry Health Action Committee, says it is “hit and miss” to maintain the three doctors and one nurse practitioner needed to keep

the Carberry Health Centre at full capacity. The facility currently co-ordinates with Glenboro so that one of the two locations will have emergency care at all times, Falk said. The Carberry Health Centre currently employs two physicians and one nurse practitioner and has worked, “with very limited success” with the RHA on recruitment, Falk said. Unlike its neighbours to the south, however, the committee has turned recruitment efforts inward. “Going forward, it’s what we can do at a grassroots level as far as educating our own students, our high school students, informing them of the possibilities in health care and what’s involved in returning to rural practice and the advantages of it,” Falk said. A contingent from the committee will travel to Winnipeg later this year for University of Manitoba career fairs, also in the hope of health professionals.

Community futures For Rimmer, the fight to recruit and retain doctors has deeper implications than a slightly longer drive for her next checkup. She has argued that urbanization and the aging farm population (Statistics Canada estimated that the average age of farmers had grown to 54 years by 2011), may affect the viability of small towns into the future. “Health care is one aspect of the sustainability of our rural communities and it’s a slippery slope,” she said. “Every little bit that we slide down that slope, whether we lose our emergency rooms, whether we lose our acute care, and basically all of these rural hospitals turn into personal care homes, that takes things away from our community that sell our community (and keep) people here, and (bring) new people in.” According to 2016 census data, the Municipality of Glenboro-South Cypress had modest population growth from 2011 to 2016, although more detailed data on age is expected in May. According to the Provincial Clinical and Preventive Services Planning for Manitoba report, 18.5 per cent of the population in Prairie Mountain Health was over 65 years, well over the 15.1 per cent provincial average. Bob Conibear shared Rimmer’s concern, particularly in view of provincial discussion of health-care reforms, although his response was more moderate. “You have to have your basic services,” he said. “I mean, we know we can’t have everything, but you certainly have to have your clinics and then you can advance out from there. That’s our big concern is to keep the small places open.” astockford@farmmedia.com

App sounds sweet to honey producers’ group Beekeepers say the BeeConnected app has positive possibilities for their industry, but it’s going to depend a lot on uptake “It looked like it really fit the bill. It looked after the mapping for us, but at the same time looked after any privacy concerns anybody might have about publicly listing where their bee yard locations are.”

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

smartphone app imported from Australia might be the next big tool for beekeepers to manage their sometimes complicated relationship with surrounding farmers. BeeConnected, an app piloted in Manitoba last year and about to make its full-scale national debut, looks to facilitate communication between beekeepers and pesticide users. T h e a p p f o r Ap p l e a n d Android allows registered beekeepers to mark present or planned hive locations. Those locations are compared to data logged by producers or contractors also using the app. If any beekeeping location comes within five kilometres of a logged property or planned spraying location, both parties are alerted. A messenger function will then allow them to communicate, without either being required to provide personal contact information. Hives are reported in blocks of up to two months at a time, although that period may be extended. “Certainly it enhances the ability of beekeepers and farmers to communicate and spray applicators to communicate to provide another tool to avoid conflict,” said Rod Scarlett, e x e c u t i v e d i re c t o r o f t h e Canadian Honey Council. The national council partnered last year with the app’s provider, CropLife, to offer it free of charge in Canada. The app was originally developed by CropLife’s sister organization in Australia. CropLife later announced that the app had broken 1,000 users in that country. Following its success Down Under, interest in the app spread internationally, includ-

ing the U.S., Latin America, Asia and Brazil. In Canada, CropLife championed the app last year and began looking for possible beta testing locations. The organization eventually reached out to the Manitoba Aerial Applicators Association, Manitoba Beekeepers Association, Manitoba Agriculture and various other industry stakeholders. “The need arose when we asked beekeepers what their main issue was; it was really around communication and knowing when and whether growers or aerial applicators were going to be applying products, and same thing with aerial applicators and commercial growers,” CropLife Canada acting president Pierre Petelle said. “They were saying it would be good to know where those hives are, so this app filled that need of connecting those two groups together.”

CropLife took feedback on the app’s ease of use, missing parameters and general look and feel. Petelle also noted that updates are ongoing. Allan Campbell, president of the Manitoba Beekeepers Association, was one of the local producers to participate in the pilot. “It looked like it really fit the bill,” he said. “It looked after the mapping for us, but at the same time looked after any privacy concerns anybody might have about publicly listing where their bee yard locations are.” The BeeConnected privacy policy precludes the rent, sale, trade or sharing of personal information to a third party with the exception of the firm which holds the app’s database. Petelle has said that firm is also bound by privacy policy preventing personal information from being shared without permission. “ We’re ver y clear in the agreement with the IT firm that holds the database... legal counsel has been involved since the beginning and those are strictly prohibited and we put that in the terms of agree-

ment. It’s very clear that none of their information can or will be used for any other purpose than management of the app,” Petelle said. Usernames, user type (i.e. farmer, beekeeper or contractor), relevant hive/field locations and registered pesticide applications will be visible to other users, but not personal contact information or legal names. A soft launch offered the app across Western Canada following the Manitoba pilot, ending 2016 with 175 registered users. Users were split evenly between beekeepers and pesticide applicators, Petelle said. CropLife ramped up promotional efforts in 2017, reaching out to media and provincial beekeeping organizations. As of April 2017, the app had over 400 active users. “It is a process of trying to get information out,” Scarlett said. “It is another tool. We’re trying to hit it really at a busy season, a busy time for everybody, so we expect that there won’t be huge uptake to begin with but that people will see the benefits and hear the benefits. We are looking to those

who were in the pilot project last year to make sure that they tell their neighbours and their friends and let them know the value of the program.” Campbell said he was interested in using the app again this year, but noted that uptake will be the main challenge for an app that requires widespread use before its users can reap the full benefit. It is a challenge that both Scarlett and Petelle have also noted. Prior to the app, Campbell said, his operations relied largely on word of mouth. “Hopefully you have a good relationship with all your growers that you’re working with and they’ll communicate with you if there’s any urgency to spray or something and they’re worried about bees,” he said. “But, you know, sometimes they’re good enough to ask, ‘Do you have bees in the area or anybody else?’ and sometimes you may not even be aware of somebody else’s hives being in the area, so with this app, the farmer can just send out a broadcast message to everybody in the area.” astockford@farmmedia.com

New potato-derived health product hits store shelves Two Carberry brothers are hopeful results from newly published clinical trials will spur growth of their company MSPrebiotics Inc. BY LORRAINE STEVENSON

“It’s quite exciting for us. We’ve been on this journey to a human product for quite some years.”

Co-operator staff

Carberry business that successfully launched a natural health product for the hog sector has now released a second-generation product aimed at the human market. It’s a product clinical trials show can significantly improve the digestive health of humans, particularly seniors. Earl and Derek McLaren, the Carberry-based brothers who own the company, recently saw their new potato-derived digestion-resistant starch supplement hit the shelves in Manitoba at Vita Health Fresh Market outlets. As well about 50 health food stores in Toronto already stock the product. They anticipate soon making sales to the U.S. and other international markets, said company vice-president Derek McLaren. “It’s quite exciting for us. We’ve been on this journey to a human product for quite some years.” The two men, in business and farming together on their Carberry potato operation for over 40 years, have paid close attention to health issues especially those related to gut health. That focus first resulted

in the release more than a decade ago of a similar natural health product for preventing digestive disorders in weanling pigs. It proved very effective and there was substantial uptake in the hog sector by producers looking for alternatives to antibiotics. That then led to more research and eventually clinical trials to test the product on humans too, ‘Because swine gut biology is very similar to humans,’ said Derek McLaren. Now the brothers are eyeing a much wider market for their commercialized human health product.

Results from clinical trials show MSPrebiotic significantly reduces bad bacteria and increases good gut bacteria in human subjects, improving digestion and overall gut health in two age groups studied, including participants 70 years old and older and another ages 30 to 50. The research was conducted at the St. Boniface Albrechtsen Research Centre and done by medical microb i o l o g i s t a n d Ce n t re f o r Canadian Agri-Food Research i n He a l t h a n d Me d i c i n e (CCARHM) principal investigator Dr. Michelle Alfa.

The results have just been published in the peerreviewed journal Clinical Nutrition. The 12-week study, comparing the product’s potatoderived digestion-resistant starch versus a digestible c o r n s t a rc h p l a c e b o, a l s o showed a significant reduction in glucose and insulin resistance in older adults consuming it, findings which indicate that this could be a valuable way to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes. Elderly participants in the trial also experienced less constipation because of the product’s high fibre content. MSPrebiotic is consumed as a powder mixed with liquid such as water or a smoothie. Prebiotic is the food that probiotics, or healthy bacteria feed on, explains McLaren. Most types of starch are digested and broken down by the body, providing a source of glucose, but as a digestionresistant starch, this becomes

food for the healthy bacteria (probiotics) living in the colon instead. McLaren said they are very excited about the prospects for their new natural health product. “We’ve been working on this for years and, as everyone hears, there’s lots of gut health issues nowadays,” he said. “Our product can really help with these areas as a natural health product.” The company’s success also bodes well for rural economic development and growth in the Carberry region. The McLarens have already invested over $2 million into a local manufacturing plant and offices at Carberry and now employ a staff of 15. A major expansion with 10 new offices is now nearing completion. They expect to grow the staff to 50 as sales rise, Derek McLaren said. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Forging a community Matt Jenkins, modern-day blacksmith and owner of Cloverdale Forge near Selkirk, says he’d like to see more people learning the craft of blacksmithing BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff / Near Selkirk

iny Cloverdale, Man. once had a church, dance hall, one-room schoolhouse and the small cow-calf operation owned by Tom and Pam Jenkins. The joke around here was salvation, damnation, education and starvation could all be found here, says the Jenkins’ son Matt. There was something else here then too — a blacksmith shop on the Jenkins’ farm. And it’s still here. Most days you’ll find Matt working in it, hammering hot iron into bottle openers, shelf brackets, gates, stair railings and other things he calls “house jewelry.” The specialty iron products are sold to customers placing orders to his business Cloverdale Forge, through its Etsy Shop or over the company’s website. Jenkins, an engineer by training, went full-time blacksmithing a year ago. “I’ll definitely call it a passion or an addiction, because they say addictions sometimes ruin your career,” he jokes. “Blacksmithing definitely ruined my engineering career, if you look at it that way.” He’s a busy man and work is more than steady, with teaching classes between filling customer orders. “We’ve got a full year under our belts now, and we’re not starving,” he said. “We’re making trips to the mailbox almost every day with stuff shipping out.”

A forge on the farm How he became a blacksmith is a story that started the month he was born. It was 1976, when, with a second child on the way, his father Tom decided he should be at home more. So he quit his job as a travelling salesman selling agricultural equipment and applied at Lower Fort Garry, which was looking for someone with blacksmith experience. He didn’t have any, says Matt, but, his dad didn’t tell the interviewers that. “He said, ‘Well, we have a forge on the farm,’” says Jenkins. “He said he’d made tons of things.” Mo s t w e re w o o d t i c k s , squished on the anvil, or straightened nails, he adds. “But he basically bluffed his way through the whole interview and they gave him the job.” Tom learned by doing, of course, and taught his young son some of the ancient craft too. Matt eventually worked a few summers at Lower Fort Garry too, but left after high school to earn a degree at McGill University. He thought he’d cho-

sen his profession. But his fate was already being forged. “When I came home from university... people would say, ‘oh, you’re a Jenkins, so you’ll know how to blacksmith,’” he said. “And I say, ‘Well, we’ve got a forge on the farm.’”

“Crafts like woodworking have always been there. But very seldom do you find a hobbyist blacksmith.” Matt Jenkins

Blacksmithing a craft But he did want to learn more and deciding to take some time off between education and getting a job, he headed to John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina, where blacksmithing was taught among other traditional arts and crafts. Back in Manitoba he did work as an engineer in Winnipeg a few years. But he sorely missed the clang of his three-pound hammer on the battered anvil at the farm shop, and was out at Cloverdale every chance he got making stuff.

“It was hard to get this out of the blood,” he says. Word began to spread and customers asked for items to be made. As those jobs increased, he faced the decision whether to keep his job or devote himself full time to Cloverdale Forge. Cloverdale Forge has now become a place where others tap the iron in their blood too. Classes fill up fast and it’s because there’s a lot of interest — and nowhere else to learn, he said. The nearest guild is Minnesota and you’d have to travel to Saskatchewan

or Ontario to find other instructors.

Forge a community That’s why he’d like to see blacksmiths — and other Manitobans interested in it — get to know one another. That’s the point of a one-day workshop, called Forge and Forum, coming up next month at Cloverdale. Jenkins has invited Alberta-based blacksmith Mark Pearce to visit June 3, do demos, and talk about blacksmithing as an art and craft and how it differs from

what goes on in a regular welding shop. “Crafts like woodworking have always been there,” he said. “There’s always been a group here and there and everyone has a table saw. But very seldom do you find a hobbyist blacksmith. “What we’re trying to do is gather folks together, and have a group, not necessarily dedicated to history, but to the craft of blacksmithing.” lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Prairie fare Eat your asparagus Asparagus is a nutritional star that is high in fibre, several vitamins and minerals BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

opened the refrigerator and noted the large bunch of dark-green asparagus. I had purchased two bunches of asparagus recently and used one of them. We rinsed and trimmed the ends of the first bunch of asparagus, then we drizzled it with olive oil and grilled it on a perforated grilling pan. It cooked quickly and made a tasty side dish with ham. I nearly forgot about the second bunch. It was a little wilted but OK. “We need to use the asparagus soon. This would make really good soup, but I need to work late tomorrow,” I said to my husband. I never have been subtle. He caught the hint and made a pot of soup the next evening. We enjoyed the soup with crusty bread. I grew up harvesting and eating asparagus in the spring. Asparagus grew well in the sandy soil near my childhood home. I always thought the green spears hiding in the grass were somewhat “magic.” One day you could check the “asparagus spot” and you might see tiny spears. By the next day, the spears were tall. If you waited too long, they went to seed or had the texture of small trees. Asparagus has a long history dating back more than 2,000 years. Asparagus was seen as having medicinal properties in the Mediterranean. During the spring, fresh asparagus is “in season.” Seasonal produce has excellent quality and is reasonably priced in many grocery stores. Select asparagus that is rich green or slightly purplish. The asparagus tips should be tightly closed and compact, not mushy. To keep your asparagus fresh longer, wrap the ends in a damp paper towel and place in a plastic bag. Asparagus can be prepared in many ways, from grilled to roasted to steamed. Try adding some to a stir-fry, or enjoy the tender stalks raw in salads. Asparagus, with just 30 calories per cup, is a nutritional star that is high in fibre, several vitamins and minerals. It provides B vitamins, including folate, and is a good source of vita-

mins A, C and K. It also is a good source of the mineral potassium. Asparagus is a notable source of vitamin K, which also is found in leafy greens. Vitamin K is needed for proper blood clotting, and it also plays a role in maintaining strong bones. However, if you take a blood thinner, you need to maintain consistency in the amount of vitamin K-rich foods you eat. Be sure to check with your health-care provider, dietitian or pharmacist to learn more about the food-drug interaction. In other words, you wouldn’t want to go from no asparagus to eating the entire bunch if you are on these medications. Asparagus has another unique property. Whenever we have asparagus, one of my kids (who shall remain anonymous) always looks at me sideways when I set a bowl of it on the table. This kid knows about asparagus. Asparagus contains “asparagusic acid” that our bodies break down into sulphurcontaining natural chemicals. As a result, eating asparagus may cause pungent-smelling urine, sometimes within 15 minutes of eating asparagus.

This is normal and not a cause for alarm. However, not everyone can detect the smell. Scientists disagree on whether this is an issue of genetics or digestion. If you can detect the smell, you are among about onethird of the population with the ability. That’s your science trivia for the day and worth exploring in the privacy of your own home. In any regard, enjoy some asparagus this spring. Here’s the soup recipe we enjoyed, and I hope you do, too.

ose Jackson opened one eye then closed it again as a bright early-morning sunbeam angled in through the window. “Who opened the curtains?” she wondered to herself. She opened her eye again more slowly as she became aware of the pleasant aroma of coffee that seemed to be wafting in from outside. As things came into focus she realized that the aroma was emanating from a cup of coffee that sat on her bedside table, steaming slightly in the cool morning air. “Happy Mother’s Day,” said Andrew, who had set the coffee down a moment earlier. “Is that what it is?” said Rose, rolling over as she spoke and sitting up to rub the sleep out of her eyes. “Ah yes, coffee,” she added as she reached for the cup. “You’re so sweet.” “Are you talking to me or to the coffee?” asked Andrew. “Both,” said Rose with a smile. She took a sip and then smiled. “Thanks,” she said. “You are most welcome,” said Andrew. “And I hope you’re hungry. In honour of the good old days when the kids used to make Mother’s Day breakfast for you, I have spent the last hour making a horrible mess in the kitchen, which you can clean up later, in order to offer you breakfast in bed.” “You shouldn’t have,” said Rose. “Seriously. But what’s on the menu?” “Burnt toast,” said Andrew. “And I dirtied every utensil in the kitchen to achieve it. For old time’s sake. Because I love you.” Rose took another sip. “Well, you nailed the coffee anyway,” she said. “Remember the Mother’s Day when I had to throw out two of my best pots after Randy and Brady cooked breakfast for me? I couldn’t get the oatmeal out of the copper bottom pot and the other pot was pretty useless with the handle melted off.” She smiled again. “Good times,” she said. “I’m not actually bringing you breakfast in bed,” said Andrew. “Good,” said Rose. “Neither of us would enjoy that.” She tilted her head back and sniffed the air. “Do I smell bacon?” she asked. “You do indeed,” said Andrew. “The menu includes bacon this morning. And not that so-

called Canadian bacon which is really just ham that somebody accidentally sliced too thin. I’m talking the real stuff. Side bacon, salted, smoked and fried to a perfect juicy crispness, resting on a bed of shredded hash browns fried in butter and infused with rosemary, onion, garlic, and a hint of Bothwell smoked cheddar. Not to mention two fresh eggs, over easy.”

“And burnt toast?” “Yes of course. Burnt toast.” “Sounds delicious,” said Rose. “I’m starving.” “Good,” said Andrew. “So am I. Despite the fact that I had to keep sampling the bacon to make sure I got it just right. Which I did, I think.” “Let’s go find out,” said Rose swinging her legs over the side of the bed and sliding her feet into her slippers. She stood up, gave Andrew a hug and a kiss and padded off to the kitchen, with Andrew following behind. A few moments later they were seated at the table, digging in. “This really is delicious,” she said. “Is there such a thing as a dish that can’t be improved with a hint of Bothwell smoked cheddar I wonder?” “I doubt it,” said Andrew. “It looks like a lovely day outside,” said Rose. “Everything is turning so green. We should go out.” “It’s your day,” said Andrew, “so we will do whatever you want, as long as what you want is what we already planned for you.” “There’s a plan, is there?” said Rose. “Yup,” said Andrew. “Lay it on me,” said Rose. “We begin with breakfast of course,” said Andrew. “Then we sit in the hot tub for a bit and watch the sun warm up the outside world for us. After that we get in the car and go pick up Grant and Karen, and the four of us head off on an aimless drive through the countryside, wherever the wind takes us. When we get hungry we stop for a bite in some little country diner where they still make hamburgers with real beef and then destroy them with Kraft cheese slices. When we get home we have a nap. After our nap we go to the farm, where the kids are making dinner for us.” “All the kids?” said Rose. “All of them,” said Andrew. “And the grandkids.” Rose picked up a slice of bacon with her fingers. “It’s perfect,” she said. “What is?” said Andrew. “The bacon, or the plan?” “Both my darling,” said Rose. “Definitely both.”

Evening-scented stocks

Not the most spectacular show of flowers but what an exquisite fragrance By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

ardeners are finalizing planting plans and looking for ones that can be planted here and there to fill in empty spaces. Consider buying a few evening-scented stocks (also called night-scented stocks) for this purpose. While not the showiest flower in the garden, its exquisite fragrance makes it well worth including as the plants emit a pleasantly sweet and spicy scent starting in late afternoon and continuing throughout the night. This easy-to-grow annual gets about 45 cm tall and has small sea-green lance-shaped leaves and well-branched stems. It has a rather open appearance as the leaves are small and produced sparingly on the thin branches and somewhat spindly stems. The bicoloured lilac and white flowers are produced in tight clusters, each having four petals and are from one to two cm in diameter. Some varieties have slightly darker flowers while the original variety has quite light-coloured flowers. The plant is not grown for the appearance of its flowers (they close and appear wilted during the heat of the day) but for the perfume they give off when they open during the latter part of the day.

Night-scented stocks prefer a light, well-drained soil and do not like to be overwatered; they are quite drought tolerant and will perform better — and provide more perfume — if not subjected to wet feet. Because they are not heavily foliaged, they can be interplanted with other flowering plants that will provide some daytime colour like nicotiana, Virginia stocks and Persian carpet zinnias. All of these are about the same height and have a similar open growth habit so wouldn’t crowd out the stocks or completely take over the planting area, yet would provide colour when stocks are closed during the day. They would also help to support the evening-scented stocks, whose stems can be somewhat spindly and sometimes not entirely self-supporting. Besides, watering sparingly, keeping the area free of weeds, and providing companion plants that will complement the stocks and help support them, planting them in full sun or part shade will suit them. Relief from hot midday sun is preferred as they are coolweather plants, often performing best in early summer and again in late summer, flagging a bit during the hottest time of the season. Another feature of this plant is that bees and butterflies will be attracted to the garden by it. To get the maximum enjoyment out

of these delightfully fragrant plants, put some under your bedroom window and others near an outdoor sitting area where you spend pleasant summer evenings. Seeds of evening-scented stocks can be sown directly into the ground in early May as they are cold tolerant so early planting is not risky. By late May the best alternative is to buy already started plants from the local garden centre. Be sure to include a few of these fragrant plants in your garden this summer. You’ll be glad you did — and so will your nearby neighbours who will also enjoy the scent! Albert Parsons writes from Minnedosa, Manitoba

u r ra y Ma n u l i a k o f Brandon was recently named the Truckload Carriers Association ( TCA) Company Driver of the Year at the TCA Annual Convention in Nashville, Tenn. Manuliak, who grew up in Oakburn, Man. has been a professional truck driver for 25 years, accruing over 3.1 million consecutive accident-free miles. Drivers like Manuliak deserve to be recognized, said TCA chairman Russell Stubbs. “The lifeblood of the trucking industry is its drivers. They work tirelessly day in and day out, but often only get noticed when something goes wrong. In recognizing safe, dedicated drivers like Murray, we hope to shine a light on the great things our drivers do every single mile.” Employed by Bison Transport out of Winnipeg for the past 15 years, Manuliak also serves as an in-cab instructor in the company’s Driver Finishing Program, allowing him to share his experience with the next generation of truck drivers. “Murray is well spoken and has a strong voice within our organization, making sure our business is a leader in safety,” said Rob Penner, president and CEO of Bison Transport. “He is a role model for all professional drivers to follow.” In addition to his impressive safety record, Manuliak has also had success in truck driv-

ing competitions. In his first year driving in the Provincial Truck Driving Championships, he won Rookie of the Year honours and helped Bison win Team of the Year, and has earned first place in the Super B category as well as representing Team Manitoba in the National Truck Driving C h a m p i o n s h i p, w h e re h e earned third place. “Prior to him getting into the business, we sat down as a couple and discussed his dream,” said wife Heather. In addition to a Driver of the Year plaque, Manuliak also received a $25,000 cash prize from TCA. Bison Transport also received some well-deserved recognition from TCA. Named as one of Nor th America’s Best Fleets to Drive For, for the seventh time in the contest’s nine-year history, Bison was selected at the convention as 2017’s Overall Best Fleet to Drive For in the large carrier division for the third time in the last four years. “To claim the title of Overall Winner even once requires a

strong combination of outstanding programs, high satisfaction levels, and great results in safety and retention,” said John Lyboldt, TCA’s president. “To do it three times is an unbelievable achievement that (Bison) should be very proud of.” Having received first place in the National Fleet Safety Awards in the over-100-millionmile category, for the 11th consecutive time, Bison Transport moved forward to take the Grand Prize National Fleet Safety Award in the large carrier division for the 10th time, and seventh consecutive year. No other carrier has achieved this level of success in the more than 40-year history of the awards. Employing the latest technologies, Bison operates one of the most modern fleets in the industry. With offices and facilities throughout Canada, the company operates 1,400 tractors, 4,000 trailers and has about 2,600 employees. “It’s about caring; demonstrating respect for your people by caring for their safety,” says Garth Pitzel, director of Safety a n d Dr i v e r D e v e l o p m e n t , about Bison’s success. “It takes every driver and staff member supporting our culture of safety to obtain these incredible results by making the right decision each and every day so everyone gets home safe. Drivers like Murray are great ambassadors for what we stand for.” Darrell Nesbitt writes from Shoal Lake, Manitoba

This Old Elevator

n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba. Today, there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the legacy of these disappearing “Prairie sentinels.” The Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Co-operator it is supplying these images of a grain elevator each week in hopes readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other elevator they know of. MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has developed a website to post your replies to a series of questions about elevators. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that have served the farm community. Your contributions will help gather historical information such as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and agents, rail lines, year elevators were built — and dates when they were torn down (if applicable). There is room on the website to post personal recollections and stories related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one not included on that list. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the farm community's collective knowledge of what was once a vast network of grain elevators across Manitoba. Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at: http://www. mhs.mb.ca/elevators. You will receive a response, by email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received. Goldsborough is interested in hearing all sorts of experiences about the elevators — funny, sad, or anything in between. Readers willing to share their stories can leave messages at 204-474-7469.

Around 1903, Western Canada Flour Mills built a 25,000-bushel elevator at Neelin, on the newly built CNR Wakopa Subdivision through the Rural Municipality of Argyle. In 1928, it was joined by a 30,000-bushel elevator constructed by United Grain Growers. By the time of this 1964 photo, the Western Canada elevator had been sold to Manitoba Pool, in 1940, and had been converted into an annex for a new elevator built in 1956. The mid-1950s also saw the addition of a 51,000-bushel crib annex beside the UGG elevator. Elevator and annex were traded to Manitoba Pool in 1973. Closed by December 1978, when the railway line was abandoned, the elevators have been removed from the site. Source: UGG Fonds, University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections
