MARKET WATCH: Higher loonie will have many impacts A low dollar shielded Canadian farmers from lower commodity prices but it also raised the cost of farm equipment and inputs

hile you were busy growing crops and raising livestock this summer, a rising dollar has been taking aim at your profits.

The growing season started with the loonie trading under the 75 U.S. cents mark — and many analysts sticking to the theory it would stay low as long as oil prices remained in the doldrums.

But after two hikes in the Bank of Canada prime rate, talk of the

Worried about federal tax changes? There’s an alternative, say experts Federal Liberal bid to close ‘loopholes’ will increase taxes on most farm corporations, but there’s a way to avoid that hit

P

roposed federal tax changes aimed at ‘income sprinkling’ and other tax reduction measures used by corporations — including those owned by farmers — have ignited a storm of controversy.

But there are “a lot of other tax strategies” that farmers can use, say financial planning experts.

In July, federal finance officials announced proposed changes to the Income Tax Act that, if passed, will change the regulations around lifetime capital gains deductions, income splitting, and incorporating farms, among other things.

Critics — including a growing number of farm groups — have decried the changes as well as the 75-day public consultation process, which ends Oct. 2 while most farmers are busy with harvest or fall work.

Both Finance Minister Bill Morneau and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have vowed to push ahead, saying the changes are about levelling the playing field for all taxpayers. But although the two politicians say the target is high-income earners, federal finance officials are also concerned about farm corporations.

“The government doesn’t like it when farmers are using their farming corporation as a pension plan as a way to defer

Add one more harvest worry to the list — the prospect of higher taxes. But experts say a personal pension could reduce that hit and provide a host of other benefits.

“The government realized it’s losing a lot of tax revenue because that’s exactly how a lot of farmers have structured their affairs.”

That’s made the government keen on closing “what it perceived to be a loophole” and if the proposed changes go ahead, farmers will be affected, he said.

More than 70 per cent of the watershed is agricultural but it also has a variety of energy providers

AF STAFF/HARDISTY

A

n intrepid group of cyclists recently set out to explore the Battle River watershed on an innovative tour, spending three days travelling to small towns and hidden gems in the area.

“The intention of the tour has been looking at all of our different energy options,” said Nathalie Stanley Olson, education and outreach co-ordinator with the Battle River Watershed Alliance. “Over the last few days, we’ve had a lot of stops at different energy producers.

So we’ve been learning how coal actually works, or how it’s dug out.”

About 15 people participated all three days, with others joining for one leg or another of the tour earlier this month. Participants came from Wainwright, Edmonton, Forestburg, Hardisty and Rosalind.

The group biked from Camrose to Forestburg, and to Halkirk and Hardisty, battling through an earlySeptember heat wave with temperatures reaching 32 C. “I’ll take a little heat over it being rainy,” Olson said with a laugh.

The tour’s theme was Finding Common Ground, and participants said one of the highlights was experiencing new things and seeing others differently.

“People have become aware that coal and the power plant aren’t really these big bad guys that sometimes the media paints them as,” said Peter Miller, who has been the mayor of Forestburg for 25 years. “It was nice to see the other perspective and to have people visiting realize that and go away with a more reasonable picture of what’s happening.”

Another tour theme was resiliency, with stops at wind turbines and a farm with solar panels.

“I think having all these different energy options is pretty good,” said Olson. “I feel a lot more secure than some of the other areas of the province or country.”

There was also a visit to Prairie Land and Cattle Company, a cattle and cropping operation. Owner Cliff Drever cycled on the tour and said it was a good opportunity for people to learn more about their neighbours.

A special highlight was a visit to the Lougheed Hutterite Colony school. Students, cheered the cyclists as they arrived, and showed

them trees that they had planted a couple of years ago. The four oldest students have built bird feeders, and will be building homes for wild bees in the fall.

“We have honeybees on the colony, but of course, we want to support the wild bees,” said teacher Cheryl Fotheringham. “We have a huge garden down there, and we want to do our part to help the environment.”

Participants were served popsicles, iced tea and lemonade by the Hutterite students, who were told about the watershed and the tour as well.

“What we’re talking about is how we can most efficiently conserve our energy so we can save a lot for the future as well,” Olson said to the students. “We all live here together so how do we make sure we all protect our environment and make sure it’s all clean going forwards?”

She explained to the students that the tour was taking place on bikes because it offered a chance to slow down and look at the scenery differently.

“We’re using our own people power as well. We’re also talking about how we get our food and how we power ourselves so we can keep cycling,” she said.

In the Battle River watershed, about 70 per cent of the land use is agricultural, so it made sense to do many farm stops.

At Prairie Land and Cattle Company in Hardisty, participants enjoyed a barbecue lunch and a talk from Edward Bork, who explained the University of Alberta’s research into carbon sequestration in soil. They also learned about the activities of the Prairie Land and Cattle Company from manager Ben Stuart. The 16,000acre farm is located near Hardisty and also has a Saskatchewan operation. Drever has made use of his international staff, many from New Zealand, to get new ideas about how to improve organic grain production, cover cropping, and cattle ranching.

The three-day tour will be featured in a documentary created by Alison Bortolon of Camrose. The video will be shown at community meetings this winter to raise awareness and foster discussions about current and future energy production in east-central Alberta. akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Trout station does the release, and anglers do the catching Raven Brood Trout Station is nearly a century old and busier than ever making sure Alberta anglers are happy

BY ALEXIS KIENLEN AF STAFF/CAROLINE

R

aven Brood Trout Station is an important community resource that few people know about.

“The main reason my hatchery is here is because in Alberta, we have a mountain of fishing effort and a mountain of fishing pressure and you have a tiny little resource,” said fisheries technician Brian Charles.

The business of ‘hens’ and ‘bucks’ (females and males) is under threat from many sources. Females lay eggs (‘reds’) in gravel and sedimentation, water temperature, and pollution can all disrupt the process. As well, trout eggs are soft during most of the hatching period and an angler wading through a spawning ground can unwittingly kill a whole year’s worth of fish.

Humans have also destroyed or degraded much of their habitat, and there are now invasive species taking their toll.

Hence the need for a hatchery, said Charles, who works for Alberta Environment and Parks.

“We can take a lake that normally wouldn’t support a sport fishery and we can add a fish to that, so that people can go fishing there, and take the pressure off of the wild, native species stocks,” he said.

“We’re managing resources because they have value and they need to be there for future generations. We want to have fish in our future because that’s what it’s all about.”

The Raven Brood station has two buildings that can produce 1.6 million to 2.3 million eggs in a single season. Those eggs go to facilities in Calgary or Cold Lake, where they are raised to the point that they can reproduce in the wild.

The station was created in 1925 when area game warden Garfield Thompson noticed wild fish stocks were declining. Charles, who has been at the station since 2010, said

“We want to have fish in our future because that’s what it’s all about.”

Brian Charles

he was immediately captivated by the importance of the work.

“I went through a walk through history, and I got caught by the bug,” he said. “I was already passionate about fish, but I got caught by the bug of what Raven is and why it’s here.”

The station raises rainbows, brooks, and occasionally brown trout. It and another brood station (in Allison Creek) support the Bow Habitat station in Calgary, the Cold Lake hatchery and the walleye program in northeastern Alberta.

The goal is to raise fish that are “catch ready,” which can take eight to 18 months.

“When I say that, I’m talking about people who want to catch that fish and take it home and eat it,” he said.

The brood stock station has

fish of different ages. Rainbow trout, for example, aren’t mature enough to produce until they are three, and only produce 1,000 to 1,500 eggs at that age.

“Once they’re a four-yearold and a five-year-old fish, they’ve got it figured out and now they’re producing 6,500 eggs per fish and I don’t have to work as hard,” said Charles.

The production sheds include two circular tanks, which help concentrate all solids into the centre and reduce the need for cleaning.

“The flow access is better, fish have more competition, they swim and they’re happy,” he said.

Charles did his fall release earlier this month at Twin Lakes, Phyllis Lake, and Ashland Reservoir. Every trout is released by hand, and Charles is always looking for people who are willing to help.

“Meet me at the lake and I’ll put you guys to work,” he told the people on a recent tour.

Mid-September is about the earliest he can release fish as lakes are too warm in summer.

“As long as the temperature is above 4 C and below 20 C, we can stock fish, but if we’re outside those parameters, it’s a no-go.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

New pilot program will pay producers for raising sustainable beef McDonald’s and Swiss Chalet will pay premiums for beef raised under specific protocols and audited by VBP+

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD

“Our goal is just to get as many people as we can because I suspect the demand is going to outstrip the supply, at least in the near term, and the more people we can get signed on sooner, the more supply we will have.”

Staff

S

ome producers will soon get paid extra for raising sustainable beef — although officials aren’t saying how much.

The recently launched Canadian Beef Sustainability Acceleration pilot — run through Cargill, Verified Beef Production Plus (VBP+), and beef tracker Beef InfoXchange Systems (BIXS) — will pay a credit back to participating farms.

The pilot, which will run for at least one year, is intended to establish and test a supply chain for sustainable beef, said Virgil Lowe, VBP+ business manager.

Participating farms must be audited through VBP+ before joining the pilot with cattle tracked through BIXS to confirm they were raised and finished on VBP+ operations before being shipped to Cargill. McDonald’s and Swiss Chalet are the first companies to sign on to the program and have agreed to pay a premium that will go back to the producers in the pilot.

“This is proof that we do have dollars coming down the supply chain from end-users saying, ‘We will pay producers to do further VBP+ on-farm practices,’ and that’s extremely encouraging,” said Lowe.

Emily Murray, Cargill’s general manager for McDonald’s beef patty business, compared the pilot to a Kickstarter campaign, in which potential customers fund a product they would like to see on the market.

Cargill hopes to see more end-use customers join McDonald’s and Swiss Chalet and has reached out to its beef customers, including grocery stores, to gauge interest, said Murray.

“There’s definitely other customers of our system that we believe might be interested in being able to talk about this sourcing from sustainable sources,” she said.

But she admitted the pilot is a leap of faith at this point. No dollar amount has been set for the credit that will go back to producers — those amounts will largely depend on the number of producers and end-use customers in the pilot, said Murray.

“Knowing how many different customers are going to be contributing over the same supply will help us give an indication of how much the credit will be,” she said. “The other aspect is how many producers are on board and carcass weights and efficiency gains and all these things that we’re going to be looking at.”

Building the program

The standards for the pilot will be based on protocols developed by the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB), which are in the process of being finalized.

“Producers need to be audited to the CRSB standards that are being set and so, as the CRSB recognizes other auditing bodies, then we’d recognize those audits as well and as they recognize other chain of custody and tracking methods, we’re open to recognizing those too,” Murray said. “The focus is on creating a supply chain that meets the CRSB standards.”

There is an ample supply of beef from audited farms, even though

many operations are still transitioning from the previous Verified Beef Production program to VBP+, said Lowe. The latter, which started last year, is an expanded version that includes biosecurity, animal care, and environmental stewardship components.

“I would encourage anyone who is VBP registered now to transition to VBP+ as soon as possible because the credits are only going to be available for VBP+ registered operations, not VBP operations,” Lowe said.

Producers who are registered for the earlier program must complete a new round of training to bring themselves up to date T:10.25”

before changing over to VBP+. As of June, an estimated 1,000 producers were registered with both VBP and VBP+.

The challenge for the pilot is the complex production cycle, which often includes multiple ownership changes that must now be tracked, along with the sustainability status of each farm an animal goes to.

“Our goal is just to get as many people as we can because I suspect the demand is going to outstrip the supply, at least in the near term, and the more people we can get signed on sooner, the more supply we will have,” he said.

Murray said she has been impressed with customer commitment to the program thus far.

“They’re willing to fund now to make a claim later,” she said.

“They can’t say anything that’s third-party endorsed to the consumer today about the sustainability of their beef, but they’re paying for it anyway. That should reinforce the interest of our endusers in this kind of a program.”

Producers are showing the same level of commitment, she said.

“Do you know if you’re going to get paid right now during the pilot? There is not a guarantee of the exact amount or how that will work,” said Murray. “But if we don’t build a supply chain, then we won’t deliver anything to these customers who are saying they’re interested and then we’re setting ourselves up for defeat.”

The pilot will begin tracking cattle and beef volumes in October, with the first payouts expected in early 2018.

Cargill hopes to evolve the pilot into a more permanent program, although Murray said the CRSB’s marketing guidelines, such as logo use, should come first.

“Once that’s done and we have a sense of what the standard is for the consumer side messaging, then we really understand what our North Star is and we really know what our customers are going to want and that’s when we can build a program,” she said.

“As long as our customers are saying, ‘We want this,’ we will build a program around it.” astockford@farmmedia.com

funny thing happens whenever talk turns to how to make farming more sustainable.

As various options for improving how agriculture treats the natural environment are discussed, someone inevitably brings up the ‘yield penalty’ farmers and society would pay.

That penalty is seen as the gap between yields farmers can achieve under conventional methods using tillage and high rates of inputs and alternative systems where farmers eschew either tillage or artificial inputs — or both.

Researchers do it. Politicians do it. Farmers do it. Even newspaper columnists have been guilty of it.

The problem with such comparisons however, is that they assume that the conventional approaches can be maintained over the long term — when the emerging evidence is that they cannot.

Dan Pennock, a Saskatchewan soil scientist who contributed to a 2015 FAO report on the state of world soils, told the recent Soil Conservation Council of Canada

“It’s led to a soil microbial gold rush,” she said. “We need this information and we didn’t have it before. We can’t manage what we can’t measure.”

The next phase of research will be to better understand what role these micro-organisms play in the soil and how well they function under different management practices.

“I liken it to a teenager who can vacuum. The teenager might be there and might be genetically capable of vacuuming, but is he actually pushing a vacuum?” said Phillips.

Farmers need researchers to help them understand how things work, but putting that knowledge to work on the farm is more about art than science, said Lobb.

The benchmark for measuring success in farming must move from yield to soil health, he added, stressing the two aren’t mutually exclusive.

On his farm, adopting farming practices that focused on soil care didn’t result in a yield penalty. On the contrary, the productivity of his land improved over time to where his yields averaged five per cent higher. laura@fbcpublishing.com

“Classical research can only compare one thing at a time,” he said.

The interactions between soil biology, the farmer’s crop rotation, local drainage and, of course, the weather, are unique to each farm and not easily measured using linear benchmarks. “Every time you make one change it affects everything else,” he said.

For example, farmers who have practised zero tillage for a number of years have found they can use lower rates of phosphorus fertilizer because high mycorrhizal activity increases how efficiently plants can access it.

There are undoubtedly other factors in play that scientists are only just beginning to measure.

Lori Phillips, a soil biologist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada told the Soil Conservation Council summit that while it’s now known that a single teaspoon of soil contains billions of micro-organisms, most of them can’t be cultured for study under traditional research methods.

However, biotechnology tools that allow scientists to extract and analyze the DNA of the entire soil microbiome are generating unprecedented insights into the diversity of soil life.

conference in Guelph that the amount of soil lost to erosion equates losing a soccer field every five seconds.

“The majority of the world’s soil resources are in only fair, poor, or very poor condition and that condition is getting worse in far more cases than they are improving,” the FAO report said. One-third of the world’s farmable land is moderately to highly degraded.

By 2050, the effect of yields could be the equivalent of taking all the arable land of India out of production, it said.

True, world markets are currently flooded with grain and global yields have, on average, continued to rise. However, many scientists believe improved genetics and the increasing intensity of farming practices are masking the effects of agriculture that is effectively mining the world’s soil.

So it is hardly a fair comparison if the status quo is not an option.

Don Lobb, an Ontario farmer and agronomist who participated in research on his farm for decades, said such comparisons are counterproductive for another reason.

Farming systems that work with natural systems are so complex they can’t be studied in conventional ways or easily compared.

resident Trump has been in the news lately for his posthurricane trips to Texas.

But after his Texas visits, the president moved from visiting one natural disaster to drumming up his own unnatural disaster.

Frustrated that America’s NAFTA partners actually want to negotiate, not rubber-stamp, his proposed changes to the generation-old trade deal, Trump took to Twitter to chastise our partners and undermine our negotiators.

“We are in the NAFTA (worst trade deal ever made) renegotiation process with Mexico and Canada. Both being very difficult, may have to terminate?” wrote the Twitterer-in-Chief.

American farm leaders, who watch this Trump trade melodrama almost weekly, rolled their eyes, bit their lips, and said little.

Soon, however, the president let his fingers do even more trade trash talking.

First, he Twitter-whipped one of America’s biggest, richest ag importers, South Korea. Next he threatened to break with any U.S.

trading partner that had anything to do with North Korea, arguably the world’s most pressing nuclear threat.

The presidential huffing and puffing finally became too much for some American ag leaders who were witnessing decades of righteous trade preaching shredded by tweets from a seething heretic.

On Sept. 3, the American Soybean Association publicly acted.

In a toughly worded “stern warning,” it cautioned the president that his threatened withdrawal from the South Korea-U.S. trade deal and his “larger strategy of brinkmanship with regard to trade agreements... could have disastrous consequences.”

This call-out of our tweetbefore-thinking president could be a turning point for ag leaders.

As such, now is a good time for them to stop lining up to have their pictures taken with Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and, instead, start lining up to take control of a rural-focused new Farm Bill.

The clear need for an improved rural America should, after all, come before the foggy, unfocused needs of a ranting, stop-and-go White House.

The presidential huffing and puffing finally became too much for some American ag leaders who were witnessing decades of righteous trade preaching shredded by tweets from a seething heretic.

Or so one hopes.

But hope can be fleeting. On Tuesday, Sept. 5, the White House, through Attorney General Jeff Sessions, started a six-month clock for Congress to act on DACA, the controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an executive order from the Obama administration.

On its own, DACA is an easy call for a majority of the Congress.

Most voters and representatives agree that allowing the children of undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States is an example of what this nation does best; it fulfils dreams. American dreams.

But, says the Build That Wall wing of the Republican party, DACA is just a back door to broader immigration reform candidate Trump swore to fight.

American farmers and ranchers could play a crucial role in deciding DACA, because at least onehalf of all U.S. agricultural workers today are undocumented. Loudly and publicly demanding broader immigration reform would send the White House the clear message that it needs to fix today’s most persistent farm and ranch problems, not create new ones.

It might also move Congress to do the same; fix what’s broken in the nation’s cities and fields, rather than silently wait to see what the White House will break next.

The U.K. packs a lot of agriculture into a small space British farmers need to get along with neighbouring communities, cut greenhouse emissions, and fend off cheap foreign competition

By BRENDA SCHOEPP AF columnist

I

t’s an area steeped in history and culture that is also a breadbasket of diverse agriculture.

The United Kingdom is home to 214,000 farms, which nearly mirrors Canada’s 205,000 farms, although the average size is 142 hectares (or about half the size of the average Canadian operation).

And though the farms may be the same in number, U.K. farmers need to feed 66 million people or double the Canadian population.

And the entire United Kingdom could fit into Alberta 2.5 times.

That’s a lot of action in a small area.

Being a net importer of food is both a challenge and an opportunity in the U.K. As the farmers only provide 20 per cent of what is consumed, there is an opportunity for further value adding in the food sector, particularly in beef, poultry, wine and in fruits and vegetables. Most imports come from the Irish Republic, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.

It is a bit of an irony that the countries to which the U.K. exports are pretty much the same from whom they import.

Exports are predominantly to the Irish Republic, the Netherlands, France and the U.S. Wine is a major export along with whiskey, salmon, and cheese.

Farmers employ 476,000 persons and produce an impressive amount of food.

There are 33.3 million sheep (compared to about 830,000 here) and it makes for picturesque scenes as one travels the country.

There are 9.9 million head of cattle (which is not far off the 12 million head of cattle in Canada) and dairy is a big business with 1.8 million head of cows. The dairy industry is no longer supported by quota and there has been expansion in this area. Milk prices had tanked but are now at a 20-month high which is fuelling further optimism. Beef cows number 1.56 million compared to the 3.8 million in Canada.

The poultry industry houses 167.6 million birds and is a major producer of eggs.

To feed its livestock, farmers grow 1.1 million hectares of barley and 1.8 million hectares of wheat.

They also grow 652,000 hectares of canola (still referred to there as rape) and I found many flavoured table varieties of this oil in stores and farmers’ markets.

hectares, but the U.K. is only about 40,000 hectares behind us.

It’s big business and the U.K. is focused on expansion in this area, particularly in seed exports.

The glasshouse (or greenhouse as it is known in Canada) industry is huge, with 3,000 hectares under cover. Farmers grow a variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers to ensure year-round supply. This is a complement to the outdoor production of flowers (13,000 ha), soft fruit and wine grapes (10,000 ha), fruit (26,000 ha), and vegetables (123,000 ha).

Wooded areas are common and there is a host of incentives to encourage farmers to plant trees and establish environmental areas. When travelling through England, it feels forested yet only 12 per cent of the land base is

treed (and 70 per cent of that is privately owned).

With so much production and so many folks living close to each other, there is always the potential for activism and misunderstandings. Add to this the U.K. initiative to reduce greenhouse gases by 80 per cent by the year 2050 (and to double wildlife populations), and the environmental issues become complex. To help achieve these targets, British farmers are (for the present) heavily supported through the Common Agricultural Policy.

This European farm program has three pillars and includes basic payments made directly to the farmer known as direct income support. Greening up on the farm is part of this basic payment. The European Commission

contributes to a crisis reserve fund and also funds public intervention as well as producer organizations.

Finally, there is a rural development component that focuses on competitiveness, the preservation of ecosystems, and regeneration of rural areas economically and socially. The way these payments are distributed varies between England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

How the future plays out for the farms and agri-food processors in the U.K. now depends on the final outcome of Brexit as the nation prepares to leave the European Union.

As a net importer of food and with so many farmers depending on solid support policy, these are critical times for the agricultural sector. Protecting production, markets, and access to labour while overhauling national policy, agricultural and otherwise, is a daunting task for this small but progressive food-producing island.

Farmers lend a sympathetic face to tax change furor Producers need to be careful and not provide cover for highly paid professionals playing a tax shell game

BY GORD GILMOUR

Manitoba Co-operator editor

A

few years back I found myself watching an HBO Canada series set in Winnipeg called “Less than Kind.”

One of the key characters was the patriarch of the Blecher clan, Sam, played by Maury Chaykin.

Sam was a part-time driving school operator and full-time wheelerdealer. Another recurring character was Tito, whom Sam had taken under his wing.

In a particularly funny scene between the two, Sam found himself under the auditor’s microscope one day at his shop at precisely the same time Tito stopped by to talk a bit of business.

Not realizing the third party in the room was the taxman, Tito was a bit too free with his words and revealed too much. His final statement, right before he found out he was talking to the auditor was, “It’s like you always tell me Sam. It’s our job to make it and hide it. It’s their job to find it.”

I tell this tale because it’s important to realize who you’re talking to when you’re talking taxes, and just how much you’re revealing.

And talking taxes, it would appear, is going to be an ongoing theme for agriculture in the coming weeks and months.

In the past few weeks the issue of changes to personal corporations has really risen on the public agenda. I hear people talking about these changes. One of the most common phrases I also hear is “doctors and farmers.” As in, that’s who will be hit hardest by these changes.

In one way it’s good that people realize it will affect farmers and are sympathetic enough to you that you’re held up as an example.

In another way, however, know you’re being used. Doctors and farmers are sympathetic characters and it’s no mistake they’re the face of the opposition.

A lot of different professions use these kinds of personal corporations, from plumbers to marketing gurus and everything in between.

During the energy boom it was

apparently very popular amongst petroleum engineers, for example, who were able to lower their tax burden on healthy six-figure salaries to somewhere around 25 per cent, compared to the far higher rates their salaried colleagues were paying. But you don’t hear anyone waxing on about poor engineers or lawyers, they’re simply not as sympathetic.

The risk here, of course, is your sectoral goodwill will be depleted by others and won’t be there when you need it for other crucial conversations. How this tax conversation is held is going to be very important.

I’ve been following some of the back-and-forth in opinion columns and even online forums, just to get a sense of things. One thing I have seen, repeatedly, is that the folks who are arguing against the changes often take an unfortunate tone.

It can be summed up as a smug superiority, that they’re better and more deserving of these breaks than the chumps who work for a salary because they’re braver and

take on more risks and create jobs.

In the worst cases, they couldn’t contain their contempt for the people they were interacting with.

In some cases the job creation argument is undoubtedly true.

In other cases, as noted, it’s a lot more debatable, and incorporation really is a shell game to lower taxes. Regardless the reality of the situation, taking that confrontational approach isn’t going to win any friends or influence many people. It could, in fact, see people get their backs up and result in an outcome nobody wants to see.

One issue that seems to gain traction amongst those who don’t really have a strong opinion one way or the other, is the question of “income sprinkling” where a corporation pays family members such as spouses and children, thus lowering the overall tax burden.

They look at it and wonder, ‘Why can’t I do that?’

The answer, of course, is because the country could never afford it.

It would leave a smoking crater in the national bottom line. So I am coming to suspect that one will be

tough to defend because allowing only one group to do it smacks of unfairness to wage earners.

Another way to look at this is in its similarity to Stephen Harper government’s crackdown on income trusts. That government saw a tax strategy becoming too popular for its own good, affecting revenues dramatically, and killed it, ignoring all protests.

Like it or not, that precedent suggests change is coming, which is going to make how this conversation is held even more important.

Farmers need to decide on the elements that are really important to the sector, what they can live without, and the substance and tone of the conversation they’re about to have. Having a united front with clear goals for the sector is paramount.

They’ll also need to decide just how much water they’re willing to carry for someone else — and how willing they are to have their good name used. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Off the front

tax changes } from page 1 through a private corporation, and the tax changes are designed to impact how those private corporations are taxed in an adverse fashion,” said Laporte.

“Almost all of the farmers who have businesses that are incorporated will be impacted by these changes.”

But these changes are also “a good wake-up call” for producers, said financial planner David Derwin.

“This type of planning is all extremely important, but it’s not necessarily urgent,” said Derwin, an investment adviser at PI Financial. “Regardless of what happens, this process is going to be a good way to get people to think about what they should do for retirement planning.”

And in some cases, these changes will be the push producers need to “ask what else is out there” when it comes to their retirement planning.

“They can’t necessarily do what they did in the past going forward,” said Derwin. “There have been a lot of other tax strategies that have been made available for farmers that an RRSP or pension plan wasn’t necessarily the best tool to look at.

september 25, 2017 • Albertafarmexpress.ca

“There have been some opportunities that have been overlooked, but this is the time to look at the bigger picture and say, ‘How do these other tools fill a lot of those gaps?’”

Personal pension plans

And one of the most valuable — and underutilized — tools is a personal pension plan.

“If the idea is to shelter as much corporate tax as possible, there’s really no better way than a personal pension plan,” said Laporte.

A personal pension plan is a registered plan with fewer limitations and greater benefits than RRSPs or their company and government counterparts, he said. Those benefits include larger tax-deductible contributions, credit protection, tax-free intergenerational transfers, and tax-deductible corporate funding, said Laporte.

“Personal pension plans offer seven additional tax deductions at a corporate level that don’t exist when farmers use an RRSP to save for their retirement,” he said.

“The personal pension plan is a tool that addresses a lot of those issues with the potential

tax changes,” Derwin added.

“It addresses so many things — diversification, generating income, protecting your assets, transitioning from one generation to the next.

“There are some tax benefits, but even over and above that, these other things make them so flexible in longer-term planning.”

Despite the added benefits of personal pension plans, most farmers don’t currently use them, said Laporte.

Most people view pensions as something only available from the public sector and larger private sector companies, so the

rules can seem overly complicated for small businesses such as farms.

“The path of least resistance means keeping it simple,” said Laporte. “A lot of farmers prefer the simplicity of just paying dividends to family members with no fuss, rather than going through the bother of setting up a pension plan.

“Now, though, they won’t have a choice. They’ll need to at least look at the pension solution if they want to avoid paying all this extra tax.”

It’s too soon to say whether the federal Liberal government will persevere or back down in the face of the growing backlash from farmers, doctors, and other smallbusiness owners.

But ultimately, “the trend is toward more taxation,” said Derwin.

“Whether these tax changes happen this year or down the road, these pension plans are a good investment and a good planning tool in and of themselves,” he said.

“Even if the government doesn’t make dramatic changes, I think it’s a smart planning tool to look at.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

High hopes for remote sensing of pasture conditions Staff

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association says it hopes a research project on remote sensing of pasture conditions will be the foundation for a new national pasture insurance program.

“The project’s findings may allow for more precision in the development of insurance programs for pasture production, on a farm level, rather than by geographic regions or limited weather station data,” the association said in its e-newsletter.

The project received $839,000 in federal funding earlier this month, with Alberta Beef Producers receiving another $901,000 for developing satellite data to help improve forage insurance.

The remote sensing project actually started in 2015 and is slated to be completed in March.

“The primary focus of this research project is to define an ‘X to Y’ relationship between satellite-based remotely sensed data and actual pasture production (by weight) with sufficient robustness and accuracy to form the basis for a pasture insurance program that is identical in concept to that available for annual crops,” said the CCA’s Action News.

Researchers are compiling 10 years of satellite data to create a baseline that will be compared to current production. If they can prove that spectrometer readings from satellites can be used to accurately measure pounds of forage per acre, then insurance coverage could be offered on an individual farm basis — rather than using averages and estimates for the district.

Satellite readings would also help ranchers track the amount of forage on their operations when pastures are hit by drought or other production problems.

“Pasture is a crucial feed source for the beef cattle industry and when threatened, rapid response and alternatives for feeding the cow herd must be timely,” the CCA said. “Using satellite measurements on a very localized scale, predictions of pasture productivity field by field, week by week, will be a significant tool for producers’ risk management.”

The federal government announced a total of $4.4 million for beef projects earlier this month, including $255,000 to help the Canadian Angus Association develop tools to improve cattle breeding and $205,500 for the National Cattle Feeders Association for a national feedlot animal care assessment program. Another $2.2 million will go to projects that will help market development, emergency planning, competitive pricing, animal care assessments, and farm software development.

Higher loonie } from page 1 dollar as a ‘petro currency’ is all but forgotten. Now the focus is whether the loonie, which pushed into 82-cent territory in the first half of the month, will hit 85 U.S. cents.

If it does, you’ll feel it.

“I know given current pricing in the marketplace — and that’s across all sectors: grains, oilseeds, livestock — that a dollar at 85 cents is really a threshold or a point we’re starting to see margins getting a little bit of pressure,” said J.P. Gervais, Farm Credit Canada’s chief agricultural economist.

Canadian farmers have been shielded from lower commodity prices suffered by American farmers largely because the favourable exchange rate made selling exports based in U.S. dollars more profitable, he said.

But if you’re in the market for new farm equipment, a higher dollar is good news.

“As the Canadian dollar drops or the U.S. dollar rises in value, it has direct correlation to what customers pay,” said John Schmeiser, chief executive officer with the Western Equipment Dealers Association, North America’s largest regional equipment dealers’ association.

The vast majority of farm equipment sold here — brands such as John Deere, Case IH, and New Holland — is manufactured in the U.S., and their input costs and components are purchased in American dollars, too.

So while a strong loonie will impact both revenue and purchases of imported machinery and inputs, it’s still a “good news story” overall, said FCC’s principal agricultural economist.

“Although it’s going to have

“That’s a signal to the world that the Canadian economy is doing quite well.”

Craig Klemmer

Since most farm equipment is imported from the U.S., the rise in the Canadian dollar will lower the tab for new machinery. PHOTO: DEERE AND COMPANY an impact on that revenue side of things, it also encourages our purchasing power because a lot of the (production) inputs are coming from the States as well,” said Craig Klemmer.

The most recent rise in the Bank of Canada’s prime rate (now at 1.0 per cent) reflects the positive outlook for this country, he said.

“That’s a signal to the world that the Canadian economy is doing quite well,” said Klemmer.

“As a result, we’re seeing more demand for Canadian dollars and the value of the Canadian dollar is increasing.”

Farm equipment dealers had a good long run after commodity prices spiked following the 2008 financial crisis. The commodity

boom also pushed up the value of the Canadian dollar, giving farmers further encouragement to invest heavily in new equipment and the latest technology.

That situation has been reversed the past few years because of the decline in both grain prices and the dollar. But even before its rise, the loonie had stabilized and that encouraged sales.

“We’re starting to see some investments in equipment,” said Klemmer, noting total tractor sales are up 22 per cent from 2016 so far this year, while combine sales are up 30 per cent.

“What we’re seeing is people doing some reinvestment — a combination of strong farm

revenue over the last couple of years, and I think some comfort with the dollar and the feeling that we’re ready to start making some investments into equipment again.”

Producers are being prudent when buying equipment, whether it’s new or used, Klemmer added.

“I think people are being strategic in their investment, based on the position they are at financially, and responding to what the market signals have been and what they feel has been appropriate,” he said.

There was an incredible run in sales from 2000 to 2014, said Schmeiser. Things slowed down considerably after that and in

areas of Western Canada hit by drought this summer, farmers remain very cautious.

However, since many are finding their harvests aren’t as bad as feared, Schmeiser expects sales in many drought-hit areas to perk up.

“We anticipate that some activity will pick up this fall after harvest because things were better than initially thought,” he said.

But in the end, crop revenues will always be the biggest driver of equipment sales, he added.

“If customers are getting good returns for the commodities that they are growing, they will reinvest in their equipment.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Organic food continues to win market share Millennials and young families are the biggest factors in the ‘staggering’ jump in the popularity of organic, says an industry association Staff

Households with children are also more likely to buy organic than households without.

T

More and more people are regularly buying organic food — usually produce and usually at a mainstream grocery store — a new survey has found.

he Canada Organic Trade Association marked National Organic Week earlier this month by releasing new data that shows a “staggering” increase in the number of Canadians who are buying organic groceries every week.

An online consumer research study done earlier this year found that organic food is on the weekly shopping list of two in three Canadians — “up a staggering 10 points from 56 per cent in 2016,” the association said in a news release.

Most buy their organic food at “regular” stores, it said.

“We live in an age of transparency where consumers have a heightened interest in the food they eat,” Kathlyne Ross, Loblaw’s vice-president of food product development, said in the release.

“Sixteen years ago we launched

PC Organics to provide Canadians with accessible, reasonably priced organic foods. Since that time the category has grown exponentially and PC Organics now has more than 250 different products in a wide range of categories, ranging from produce and pasta to baby food and yogurt.”

Fruit and vegetables are the most popular organic food item followed by meat/poultry and dairy products,

Prairie barley groups continue malt barley funding

Don’t let something this small take a big chunk of your profits.

The Canadian Malt Barley Technical Centre will continue to get funding from the three Prairie barley groups.

Following the July 31 conclusion of the interim Western Canadian Deduction checkoff, which provided the centre with three cents from every tonne of barley delivered to Canadian Grain Commission facilities over the previous five years, Alberta Barley, Manitoba Wheat & Barley Growers Association, and the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission have stepped up to the funding plate and committed to continue supporting the centre.

Canada is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of malting barley and malt, with combined domestic and international sales revenues of $1 billion annually.

The funding will allow the centre to “introduce promising new varieties to our domestic and international customers,” said Peter Watts, managing director of the malt barley centre. “With improved yield and disease resistance, and equal or better quality than existing varieties, the new lines will create value for farmers and help make malting barley an attractive crop to grow.” — Staff

the survey of a consumer panel of more than 1,000 people set up by Ipsos Canada found.

“Millennials are key drivers of the organic market with 83 per cent purchasing organic food and beverages — the highest of any generation,” the association said in its news release. “Households with children are also more likely to buy organic than households without — 19 per cent of the weekly grocery bill for households with children goes toward organic items, compared to 12 per cent for those with no children.”

The survey also asked why people are buying organic food.

“More than half (55 per cent) now say their decision to buy organic products is influenced by recommendations from a health professional, an 11-point increase from 44 per cent in 2016,” the news release stated.

However, the association did not define “health professional.”

It’s getting more expensive to ship grain

Prairie ag retailers band together

The Baltic Dry Index has risen to its highest levels in nearly three years. The closely watched indicator of ocean shipping costs recently hit 1,355 points — a 500-point gain in two months — and the highest since November 2014. Chinese demand for coal and iron ore accounted for most of the strength in the shipping sector, said the Londonbased Baltic Exchange. Rising freight rates can put Canadian grain exports at a freight disadvantage in the global marketplace, due to the country’s distance from major demand centres, such as Asia and Europe, compared to its competitors. — CNS Canada

A group of independent ag retailers from the Prairies have banded together under the banner of AgLink Canada. The 14 businesses include three from Alberta — Agro Plus of Lethbridge; Agro Plus Solutions of Dunmore; and McEwens Fuels and Fertilizers of Fort Saskatchewan. AgLink Canada will be allied with AgLink Australia, which is a collective of independent retailers with annual sales of $1.2 billion. The deal gives the Canadian retailers access to all intellectual property, management systems, and governance models of the Australian group.

U.S. soy, Prairie weather help halt canola’s skid A new USDA report predicts a record American soybean harvest but old-crop canola supplies remain tight

By Dave Sims

I

CE Future Canada canola contracts managed to halt their recent trek downward on the charts through a mix of weather issues, speculative buying, and upward action in U.S. soybeans.

However, strength in the Canadian dollar and the continuing oilseed harvest throughout North America were still bearish forces for the commodity during the week ended Sept. 15.

Farmers were busy in the field sending roughly a million tonnes of canola into elevators during the first two weeks of September. Old-crop supplies continue to be tight, though, and demand is reasonably solid.

The main development over the past week was the release of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s supply-anddemand report on Sept. 12.

That report weighed on canola as it predicted a record 4.43-billion-bushel soybean harvest in the U.S. It also projected higher-than-expected yields, at 49.9 bushels an acre.

While some participants in the industry don’t believe the crop will be that large, it’s still evident this year’s soybean crop will be massive.

One factor on the international front that helped support canola was the state of the canola crop in Australia. Although farmers Down Under planted roughly the same amount of canola as they did last year, the Australian Grains and Oilseeds Federation predicts this year’s crop will be just 1.68 million tonnes — the lowest amount since 2006-07, according to ABARES. Most analysts feel a seasonal bump is coming for canola after harvest, though.

For the most part, corn futures on the Chicago Board of Trade held their own during the week ended Sept. 15. Prices fell on Tuesday when USDA released its monthly supply-and-demand report.

The agency pegged the U.S. corn crop at 14.18 billion bushels, which was higher than expected. However, funds went bargain hunting the next day and the market returned to its pre-report trading range.

Soybeans were also pressured by the

report, which estimated the U.S. soybean crop would be record large. However, after a momentary fall, the market took strength from ideas that USDA had overestimated the crop size and yield. Dry conditions in Brazil and a robust crush report also lent strength to soybeans.

The wheat market took strength from short-covering and weather problems in other countries. Crops in both Argentina and Australia have been stressed by poor weather, which was good news for U.S.

exporters. The massive Russian crop, however, has been a bearish force on prices.

USDA’s 2017-18 wheat estimates were mostly unchanged from the previous report, so the market didn’t have to go through the same pressure as its corn and soybean counterparts.

Prairie wheat bids continue on trek downward MGEX December spring wheat futures dropped more than 25 U.S. cents on the week

BY DAVE SIMS CNS Canada

H

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada softened yet again during the week ended Sept. 15, as downward action in U.S. futures dragged on values.

Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were down $5 to $6 per tonne across 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 $221 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $240 in Alberta.

Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, with some improving by $4 to $7 while others fell anywhere from $2 to $10 when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollardenominated 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$181 to US$197 per tonne, unchanged on a U.S. dollar basis on the week. That would put the currency-adjusted basis levels at about US$35-$51 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 $43 to $62 below the futures.

Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids eked out tiny gains, with prices ranging from $155 to $171 per tonne.

Average durum prices were generally down $1-$3 per tonne, with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $263 to $267 per tonne.

The December spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted Sept. 15 at US$6.215 per bushel, down 25.25 U.S. cents from the previous week.

are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The December K.C. wheat contract was quoted at US$4.46 per bushel on Sept. 15, up 4.5 U.S. cents compared to the previous week.

The December Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled Sept. 15 at US$4.49, up 11.25 U.S. cents on the week.

Making sense of the squiggly lines Technical analysis can help give you a clearer picture of commodity markets

BY DAVID DERWIN

CHART 1 & 2

FEEDER CATTLE & CANOLA MARKETS

PCI Financial

A

picture is indeed worth a thousand words so when it comes to markets, there is no better picture than a price chart.

Charts are a visual interpretation of market behaviour that encompass all news, research and analysis of economic business activity by all investors, traders and hedgers. It is an illustration of the cumulative fear and greed of the marketplace.

Unfortunately, many market psychology and behavioural economic studies have shown that humans often see things in pictures that don’t exist. This can lead to less-than-optimal decision-making. There are many “price patterns” that catch the eye as well as the imagination which don’t have a strong or consistent enough history to have any predictive value. There are, however, many valid price patterns and trends in financial markets that persist over time that are worthwhile taking a closer look at.

The mind can play tricks on you and people can fool themselves into believing their point of view. So, hedgers and traders should crunch some numbers and perform data analysis to develop some objective technical chart analysis.

Thomas Bulkowski’s book Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns does a great job of helping in this area.

His research offers a thorough and serious analysis using a database of 500 stocks over a five-year period that generated over 15,000 chart formations to uncover around 50 chart patterns. As he writes in the introduction to his book, “It suggests which chart patterns work best and which ones to avoid.”

It covers many technical chart patterns you have heard of like head and shoulders, dead-cat bounce and double-tops, showing which patterns tend to be reversal

ChART 3 & 4

or consolidation patterns, which typically have the biggest moves and those with the highest success rate.

Many of the top chart performers are trending patterns; meaning there is momentum moving prices either up, down or sideways steadily over time like in Chart 1 and 2.

Once this momentum changes, that up, down or sideways trend may change as well.

Another important pattern to look for is a consolidation pattern with a lot of sideways choppy price action. These are some of the most consistent patterns. Whether it’s signalling a beginning, continuation or end of a trend, markets often move sideways ahead of another important price move.

Many of the chart patterns you may find useful are ones that look like Chart 3 and 4 — almost like the calm before the storm.

What I like about Bulkowski’s research is that it provides a highprobability approach to technical chart analysis that is supported by some hard numbers. This allows you to apply both the art and science of technical analysis along with other market research tools to real-time hedging and trading decisions. This doesn’t mean you are going to be right every time, but at least you can strive to be more right over time.

This doesn’t mean you are going to be right every time, but at least you can strive to be more right over time.

Now, here are a couple of current real-time commodities to look at.

First, after a 30 per cent move higher from about 115 to 145 during the winter and spring, feeder cattle has since been moving sideways for the past three months.

Whether this breaks out higher to continue the uptrend or breaks down through price support to signal a reversal in trend remains to be seen. However, given this trading range is already a few months old, any sustained break below 135 on the charts and the odds are that this recent cattle uptrend may be turning lower. Regardless of whether cattle ultimately moves higher or lower, prices are good. If you haven’t protected your cattle revenues, now is a good time to use live or feeder cattle option strategies for downside floor price protection but that still give you some upside potential as well.

Next, canola has also been showing a wide trading range but over a much longer period of time. The weekly canola chart shows a channel between C$450/ tonne and $530/tonne over the past few years going back to 2015. With such a defined range, we have a good sense of where near-term tops and bottoms are and can plan hedging strategies accordingly. Canola may still go sideways yet and there is some upside potential. All the more reason to use canola option strategies to protect your downside without locking in, without limiting your upside and without committing to delivery.

Bottom line, charts don’t always reveal the future but a numbersbased analysis, along with options and futures hedging strategies, can help you benefit from pricing opportunities for your farm commodities.

Keep your chart and technical analysis simple. Markets can only go up, down or sideways so look for trends, a breakout from an existing sideways range or a change in price direction.

Don’t overcomplicate things and don’t worry about every daily 25-cent move. You’ll drive yourself crazy and likely spend a lot of time for very little reward.

Instead, focus on bigger-picture medium- to longer-term trends. Incorporate proper hedging strategies that are right for the current market conditions to help you meet your operational as well as financial budgets and targets.

This approach should help make all those squiggly lines a more meaningful part of your overall marketing plan.

Alberta feedlot vet wins animal welfare award

Producers urged to get premises ID number

Dr. Joyce Van Donkersgoed is the winner of an award from the Canadian Association of Bovine Veterinarians and Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) for her leadership in improving the welfare of feedlot animals. The Coaldale veterinarian was instrumental in the development of the Canadian Feedlot Animal Care Assessment tool for auditing animal welfare, the first certified audit designed for feedlots. “Her leadership in the area of animal welfare is exemplary, and her work will help improve the welfare of feedlot animals across the country,” said Dr. Germain Nappert, president of the bovine veterinarians’ association. — Boehringer Ingelheim

The Canadian Cattle Identification Agency is urging Alberta livestock producers to prepare for new livestock traceability regulations that once enacted will require them to have a valid, premises identification (PID) number. A producer can call Alberta’s PID registry at 310-FARM with a legal land description to confirm or acquire a PID, or contact a field or client services rep from the agency at 1-877-909-2333 or info@canadaid.ca to ensure their PID is entered into the Canadian Livestock Tracking System database. The cattle ID agency also offers complimentary, one-on-one training, templates, videos and tools.

Will feeding open cows cost — or make — you money this winter?

Use an online calculator and pencil in your numbers before deciding to preg check this fall, says beef economist

BY ALEXIS KIENLEN AF STAFF

P

reg checking your cattle is important — but it’s hard to know if you should cull open ones now or feed them through the winter.

Beef economist Kathy Larson of the Western Beef Development Centre doesn’t always recommend feeding open cows.

“It’s a costly venture, particularly when we have tight feed supplies,” she said. “In Saskatchewan, we’re paying 5-1/2 or six cents for hay, and so I wouldn’t see that keeping open cows would make sense.”

Most calves and the bulk of cows hit the market in the fall, pushing down prices. But prices usually rise during the winter.

“There’s some thought that if you held on to them, and maybe put a little more condition or weight on them, the price the following spring would more than make up the cost that you incurred to overwinter them,” she said.

Using price data from the past 10 years, Canfax Research Services recently applied price trends and put those into an online calculator developed by the Beef Cattle Research Council. That allowed it to estimate the financial benefits of three options; culling open cows in the fall; preg checking and feeding them separately; and skipping the pregnancy check and giving every cow similar rations. It then broke the prices down further to consider four feeding systems; dry lot, swathed barley, bale grazing, and corn grazing, and calculated average daily gain in each.

Larson advises producers to use the online calculator to put their own numbers in.

“Over the last 10 years, we have seen prices typically drop 15 per cent from the summer high to November,” she said.

“We have the slump in the market because producers were preg checking and then there are a lot of open cows coming to the market.”

Feeding cows that won’t give you a calf next spring can sometimes make you money — but it all depends on your costs and what happens to prices over the winter. PHOTO: CANADA BEEF The Canfax study found producers would be significantly further ahead if they don’t preg check and feed cows all winter. But the prices estimated in the blog post, published on Aug. 31, have already changed, said Larson.

“They talk about how prices will be 95 cents (per pound) this fall and it’s already 90 cents,” Larson said on Sept.

13. “It changes so fast.”

One of the things producers can do is get some current pricing information. There are free sources available, or people who have a subscription to Canfax can go and see historical data as well.

“I am a huge proponent of getting producers to start getting comfortable with their numbers, and using calculators that are there,” said Larson.

(If they see shortfalls of

these calculators, they can always give their feedback to the Western Beef Development Centre, Canfax, or the Beef Cattle Research Council, so they can improve on the tools available, she added.)

In its study, Canfax assumed prices would increase 27 per cent from November to March, which has been the average of the past 10 years. But that

jump didn’t happen in 2016, said Larson.

“It was only 15 per cent,” she said. “They do say near the end of the article that if prices only increase five per cent, then you see that it doesn’t really pay, or it pays very little.”

Everyone’s situation is different, and producers need to put in their own numbers, she said.

The calculator accounts for either feeding cattle separately or as a group, but not bale grazing, swath grazing, or feeding them with standing corn.

“That’s not built into this little online calculator,” she said.

The Beef Cattle Research Council calculator (called the ‘Economics of Pregnancy Testing Beef Cattle’ model) allows users to enter their own overwintering costs, average daily gain, length of winter feeding period, and other variables.

Horses get arthritis, too, and need special care

13

Abnormal and repetitive stresses are frequent causes of this source of lameness

BY Carol Shwetz DVM

Ringbone generally arises from abnormal and stressful forces placed upon the working joints of the lower limb.

AF contributor

R

ingbone is one of the most common forms of arthritis diagnosed in the horse and is a “catch-all” term used to describe an osteoarthritis that afflicts the coffin joint (low ringbone) or the pastern joint (high ringbone).

Degeneration of the joint interferes with function, mobility and flexibility of the lower limb and ultimately leads to varying degrees of pain and non-weight-bearing lameness.

The first joint from the ground up in a horse’s limb is the coffin joint. It is located within the hoof capsule and lies between the coffin bone (P3) and the short pastern bone (P2). It is a large high-motion joint. The next joint up is the pastern joint. The pastern joint exists between the long pastern bone (P1) and the short pastern bone (P2) and is located between the top of the hoof and the fetlock. Although it is a low-motion joint, the minor degree of motion is very important as it softens weight bearing upon loading of the limb. Ringbone can arise from damage within the joint itself (articular) or from damage to structures such as the joint capsule or ligaments which surround and support the joint (periarticular).

Non-articulating ringbone is typically less painful and so considered less serious. Ringbone can begin as non-articulating and advance into articulating and vice versa.

Ringbone generally arises from abnormal and stressful forces placed upon the working joints of the lower limb. Optimal function and movement of the joints necessitates proper alignment and even loading of their working surfaces.

Therefore alignment flaws such as toed in or toed out or unnatural hoof angles such as those associated with upright pasterns or long toe-low heels place undue stress on the joints through improper movement dynamics.

It is also equally important to recognize that certain sporting activities predispose a horse to ongoing injury through repetitive strain forces to the lower joints.

Such examples include the torque placed upon the limbs of a barrel horse during sharp turns, the sudden hard stops with twisting when a rope horse is dallied up, the landing of a hunter/jumper horse upon unforgiving surfaces, or the concussive forces incurred during the work on pavement of a carriage horse or police mount.

Whenever the lower limb is subjected to repetitive or ongoing stress and strain, rotational forces or torque, or concussive forces, the tissues are prone to varying degrees of damage.

If the damage exceeds the body’s abilities to repair itself then disease is a likely result. The rate of damage is compounded when the horse’s body weight exceeds its ideal or when horses travel in poor posture. Work on unforgiving surfaces which are hard, uneven, or overly deep further amplify stress to the joints. Horses under five years of age are particularly vulnerable to excessive stressors and concussive forces. Oftentimes ringbone that seemingly appears later in the horse’s life can be attributed to activities during the early years of a horse’s development when

The joints of the lower legs of horses don’t move much, but they perform an important function and are a frequent source of lameness. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK the joints are overtaxed before the horse reaches physically maturity.

The symptoms of ringbone are often insidious and easy to miss in the beginning. The horse may seem reluctant to go forward, refuse certain work, and/or his gait may become short, choppy or shuffling. As with most arthritic conditions the degree of pain can vary from day to day. Symptoms are further confusing as often both legs are affected to varying degrees so the lameness can appear to shift between legs. Commonly heat and swelling can be detected on the pastern and bony ridges may begin to form on the pastern where before it was smooth and sleek.

Rest may temporarily resolve the lameness only to return when the horse goes back to work.

A thorough lameness examination by a veterinarian generally involves a historical accounting of the lameness, a clinical evaluation of gait on both hard and soft ground and in straight lines and in circles. Flexion tests, diagnostic nerve blocks, radiographs and more advanced imaging may be undertaken to further define the nature of the ringbone. Ringbone in the coffin joint is much more significant since this is the highermotion joint.

Once a diagnosis of ringbone is made efforts to manage and preserve the horse’s soundness are multimodal. Maintaining a healthy weight and giving a horse proper rest when needed is important to the healing process. Horses will do best with the consistent lowimpact movement such as while on pasture. The moderate movement stimulates circulation and decreases inflammation of the joint and so pain. The amount of activity asked of the horse varies on the degree of ringbone and the tolerance of the individual horse. Oftentimes the job of the horse will need to be reassessed and reassigned in order to reduce wear and tear on the joint. Successful management of ringbone will address the specifics of hoof balance. Although corrective shoeing may be suggested to ease break-over of the lower limb, it is equally important to recognize that improper shoeing practices can be a contributing factor to the development of ringbone since iron shoes strongly influence the movement dynamics of the lower limb.

Medical management is aimed at reducing the pain and inflammation associated with the condition. Anti-inflammatories like phenylbutazone (“bute”) or the new generation of non-steroidal antiinflammatories firocoxib (Previcox or Equioxx) are used to decrease inflammation associated with acute flare-ups of the condition and to manage horses on a long-term basis. Oral joint supplements that contain glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, MSM, and other herbal ingredients may benefit some animals. Legend I.V. (intravenous hyaluronic acid) and Adequan I.M. (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) can also be used to

support the joint. Legend addresses the quality of the joint fluid and acts as an anti-inflammatory. Adequan works at the joint surface to heal the cartilage. Alternative therapies such as acupuncture and chiropractic work have varying degrees of efficacy often addressing the compensation patterns in the body caused by the ringbone. Due to the nature of the disease there is tremendous variability with regards to how an individual horse will respond to medications, supplements, injections, regenerative, and complementary therapies.

In some cases of high ringbone the deteriorating joint undergoes a natural progression to the end

point whereby the joint collapses and fuses. During the process, the horse is often severely lame. However, once the joint fuses, motion is no longer present and the lameness may resolve to some extent.

Surgical treatment of high ringbone may be an option in certain horses. Essentially the goal of surgery is to complete the body’s attempt of bridging the joint and stop the joint from moving. By preventing motion, joint fusion reduces the pain of ringbone and may allow some horses to return to use. While this procedure involves a major surgery, it offers the possibility of complete return to work and relief from pain. The surgery tends to be more successful on affected hindlimbs than forelimbs.

Recently a newer procedure using alcohol to fuse the pastern joint is showing promise and advantage over the surgical technique. Unfortunately, low ringbone remains very difficult to treat and carries a poor prognosis for soundness.

Price data in cattle markets becoming harder to come by Canfax is concerned that less price reporting means less accurate fed cattle market data, but solutions to the problem are still unclear

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD

“I think that everybody accepts that this kind of information is important to our industry.”

Staff

T

he cattle industry is weighing its options for a better price-reporting system.

In recent years, price data has become harder to obtain — something that has big implications for marketing decisions for cattle producers and insurance programs.

Canada’s reporting system is voluntary, said Brenna Grant, manager of Canfax Research Services, the organization responsible for collecting cattle price data in Western Canada.

“It’s always a challenge and we’re always encouraging producers to report,” she said. “We have confidentiality rules that we comply with in order to have a certain number of different sources reporting. But we also have to see repeatability in the prices reported. If you don’t meet those criteria, then we can’t publish prices.”

Many producers either forget or neglect to call Canfax with their prices, she said.

This summer, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association asked for member feedback on seven possible courses of action, and

Brian Lemon

Lack of data is affecting the price transparency of the cattle market, with a number of knock-on effects. PHOTO: CANADA BEEF the pros and cons of each, on fed cattle price reporting: • Do nothing; • Communicate with government and producers on thin market reporting impact; • Study the risks of low reporting to each beef sector; • U pgrade reporting agencies’ systems for automatic data downloads; • Delay price reporting; • Pay producers to report; and • E x p l o r e m a n d a t o r y p r i c e reporting.

Survey results were presented to the association’s Price Discovery Task Force last month, but there’s no preferred option and the matter is still under discussion, said Brian Lemon, general manager of Manitoba Beef Producers.

Upgrading systems for automatic reporting would make it easier for producers, but would be costly, said Grant.

“It becomes very expensive very quickly for a couple of reasons,” she said. “First, there are

a lot of different programs out there that feedlots use and so you have to provide interoperability with a lot of different programs.

Second is that not all of the feedlots use all of the functions within those programs, so they maybe use them for performance data collection, but not their prices.

Their prices might be kept separately in a spreadsheet.

“So trying to get something that actually works in terms of making automatic data downloads from producers very easy for them to do has the potential to be quite expensive.”

More communication may be more feasible, she added.

“In a voluntary system we always have to be communicating the reason why producers are

doing this and recognizing the fact that producers have been doing this voluntarily for over 40 years and have been able to successfully have very robust cash reporting,” she said.

The survey noted, however, that Canfax has already attempted reaching out to producers.

“An information-only approach has had limited success,” the survey reads. “The value of this approach assumes that this topic is not well understood at this point.”

Fewer cash sales

The thinning cash market has added to price discovery concerns. Reporting agencies in both the U.S. and Canada have noted smaller volumes passing through cash markets as more and more producers turn to formula pricing and forward contracts.

“We need to recognize that’s a change that’s happened across the North American industry and be accommodating and adjusting to those marketing realities and also continually encouraging those producers to continually report,” Grant said.

The survey argues that the thin cash market may mean data is

Price data } from page 14 insufficient even if producers are paid to report.

In a 2014 paper published by the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, Ted Schroeder of Kansas State University noted that weekly datasets were including fewer transactions as the cash market thinned, to the point that prices reported by Canfax or the U.S. Department of Agriculture were questionable in some weeks.

“In such situations, relatively small numbers of transactions that are not representative can have economically important influences on reported prices,” he wrote.

Three years ago, Canfax introduced enhanced price reporting, which covers the expanding forward contract and net formula prices as well as the cash and grid markets. By 2016, cash volumes had more than doubled, although part of that increase was due to marketing incentives making cash more attractive, said Grant. Formula and contract volumes had also increased, although enhanced price reporting is still thin in those areas.

“That comes down to the consolidation within the industry,” she said. “You might have large volumes, but it’s still a struggle to meet those confidentiality requirements and the robustness in terms of repeatability.”

Ongoing issue

It’s not the first time the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association has wrestled with price discovery and scarcity of market data.

In 2013, Canfax had four weeks where no fed steer prices were reported in Alberta and three weeks without fed heifer prices.

The next year, those numbers increased to nine weeks without steer prices and 25 weeks when no heifer prices were reported.

The lack of data raised concern about the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program, which requires weekly prices to operate.

In 2014, the association made a concerted effort to bolster reporting, passing a motion that “fed cattle price reporting to a third party (e.g. Canfax, BFO, FPBQ) become a program requirement for all federal/provincial programs that require fed cattle price data to operate.”

The motion hit an obstacle, however, when it was brought before the federal government.

The government was concerned that reporting as a program requirement would be hard to enforce; cause logistical and administrative problems; might affect different beef sectors unequally; and might lower participation in business risk management programs.

Two and a half years after the motion was tabled, government asked industry to revisit the issue.

“In part, I think it’s as much about logistics,” Lemon said.

“You know, who collects the data?

Who owns the data? Making sure that privacy rights and commercial sensitivities are maintained, proprietary information is not shared unwittingly. It’s about doing it the right way, I think, as much as anything else, but I think that everybody accepts that this kind of information is important to our industry.”

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association is still meeting with provincial and federal governments on the issue, Grant said.

Two Lethbridge researchers chosen for mentorship program Program will give Robert Gruninger and Stacy Singer a chance to know the beef industry better Beef Cattle Research Council release

T

wo scientists from Ag Canada’s Lethbridge research centre and one from the University of Saskatchewan have been chosen for the Beef Cattle Research Council’s mentorship program.

The program pairs up-andcoming applied researchers with innovative cattle producers or other industry professionals for a one-year mentorship. It provides researchers with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the needs of the beef industry in a practical and meaningful way.

Research biologist Robert Gruninger is a Lethbridge native who is applying a combination of “-omics” based techniques and protein biochemistry to better understand the microbiology of ruminant microbes.

His work at the Lethbridge Research and Development Centre includes investigating the role that the rumen microbiome plays in determining the efficiency of lignocellulose degradation.

Two of his mentors are Larry Helland and his son Justin,

who have farming, ranch, and feedlot enterprises. Larry has previously been chair of the Alberta Cattle Commission (now Alberta Beef Producers) and the Canada Alberta Beef industry development fund. He is a current member of the Canada Alberta Livestock Research Trust. Justin is currently serving a third term on the board and is past president of Lomond Grazing Association. He is also a board member for the Canada Alberta Livestock Research Trust. Gruninger’s third mentor is Darryl Gibb, who has a background in research and is a beef nutrition consultant at Gowans Feed Consulting.

The other Alberta researcher is forage biotechnologist Stacy Singer. Her work at the Lethbridge research centre focuses on the development of advanced breeding tools and ‘clean’ biotechnological platforms (which do not produce foreign proteins) for improving performance- and qualityrelated traits in forage crops.

One of her mentors is Graeme Finn, who manages a cowcalf operation and runs grass yearlings on his ranch near Madden with a focus on yearround grazing of both high-

legume pastures and annual crop grazing. He currently sits on the advisory committee of the Canadian Beef and Forage Research Council; the board of the Alberta Crop Industry Development Fund; and the research committee for the Canadian Round Table for Sustainable Beef. His passion is looking at new ways to do things to boost profitability and “anything grass.” Singer’s other mentor is Gord Card, who owns and operates Magrath-area seed retailer Sunshine Seeds with his family.

The other mentee in this year’s program is Mika Asai Coakwell, an assistant professor of animal genetics at the University of Saskatchewan with a research focus on muscle and bone growth and development.

Her mentors are Saskatchewan ranchers Lance Leachmanan and Ryan Beierbach along with Canadian Beef Breeds Council executive director Michael Latimer, whose family owns and operates a purebred Angus operation near Olds.

The mentorship program comes with a travel budget that allows researchers to attend industry meetings, producer workshops, and farm tours.

The next storm: a flood of insurance disputes

La Niña may make a quick return

Business owners who were victims of hurricanes Harvey and Irma now face a different sort of challenge — trying to recoup lost income from their insurers. Many paid hefty monthly premiums for business interruption insurance, but are having trouble collecting. Policies typically require “direct physical damage” and so disputes are arising, for example, over businesses shuttered because of power outages. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused about $25 billion in insured commercial losses, with $6 billion to $9 billion for business interruption. Claims from Harvey and Irma are expected to be quite a bit higher. — Reuters

The likelihood of the La Niña weather pattern, which can cause floods and droughts, is increasing for this fall and winter, says a U.S. government weather forecaster. The National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center now puts the chances of La Niña at 55 to 60 per cent (up from 55 per cent previously). La Niña emerged last year for the first time since 2012 before fading earlier this year. Typically less damaging than El Niño, La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean and tends to occur unpredictably every two to seven years. — Reuters

It was definitely a warm and dry summer, but not a scorcher It was hotter than usual across the province, and very dry, but the number of really hot days wasn’t far off average

N

ow that fall is well underway, it’s time to look back at the summer of 2017 across agricultural Alberta. If you had to sum up this past summer in just a couple of words, I think it would be warm and dry.

After a spring that saw temperatures a little warmer than average and rainfall that was a little bit above average, the big question was whether or not it would end up as a hot and dry a summer, as some of the weather models were suggesting. Well, after adding up all of the numbers for the three main locations across Alberta (Calgary, Edmonton, and Peace River), it turns out that it was indeed a warmer, and drier-than-average summer.

Summer is typically seen as the three-month period encompassing June to August. Looking back at this summer’s data, Calgary was the hot spot, both in terms of absolute temperature and in the difference from average. The mean summer temperature was 17.0 C, which was 1.6 C above# the long-term average. Next in line was # Edmonton, which had a mean summer temperature of 16.3 C or 1.2 C above its long-term average. Last, but not least, was the Peace River region. Peace River had a mean summer temperature of 15.9 C which was 0.8 C above its longterm average.

While the mean temperatures across Alberta were above average, when you look at the daily high temperatures you could argue that it wasn’t exactly a hot summer, at least across central and northern regions. Southern areas were hot, with Calgary reporting 10 days with daytime highs greater than 30 C, which is about six days more than average. Edmonton reported four days with daytime highs greater than 30 C, with Peace River recording two days. Both values are pretty much right on the average.

If we extend the summer period to the growing period and look back at the mean temperatures starting in April we find that all three stations remained above average. Calgary remained the hot spot with a mean temperature that was 1.4 C above average. Both Edmonton and Peace River had a mean temperature for this period that was about 0.7 C above average.

Now looking at precipitation, I don’t think anyone could argue that it wasn’t a dry summer. Looking back at the monthly data for the three locations, only Calgary had a month that saw near-average precipitation, and that was in July.

The question is, just how dry has it been? I looked at the total amount of precipitation that fell during the threemonth summer, as well as the Aprilto-August period and created the table above. The first part of the table shows the June-to-August period, with total rainfall, followed by the average, with the final column showing the per cent

While the mean temperatures across Alberta were above average, when you look at the daily high temperatures you could argue that it wasn’t exactly a hot summer, at least across central and northern regions.

of average. The second part of the table covers the April-to-August period.

You can see that for the summer months of June, July, and August, all three locations reported precipitation amounts that were well below average. The Edmonton region reported the greatest amount of rainfall, with

162 millimetres, which was about 73 per cent of average. This was also the case when we look at the April-to-August period. For this period, all three locations were below average, but only slightly for Edmonton and Peace River.

So, it was a warmer- and drier-thanaverage summer. Looking back at the forecasts it would appear that it is a toss-up between Environment Canada’s forecast and my own. Environment Canada called for above-average temperatures with near-average amounts of rainfall and I called for near- to aboveaverage temperatures with near- to below-average amounts of precipitation. I will leave it to you to decide who was closest.

In the next issue, barring some extreme weather event, we’ll take a look forward to see what the forecasts are for the remainder of the fall and see what they are saying about this upcoming winter.

Proper grain storage pays off Getting grain to proper temperature and moisture levels is just the first step — constant monitoring is also vital

BY JENNIFER BLAIR AF staff

A

grain producer’s hard work doesn’t end at harvest.

“A tremendous amount of work goes into getting that crop to the point where you can actually put it in storage,” said Brent Elliott, infestation control and sanitation officer at the Canadian Grain Commission.

“And once they’ve put it in storage, the common thought is, ‘OK, the harvest work’s done, it’s in storage, so I don’t have to worry about it too much.’

“Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. All your investment is now sitting in a bin, and you really don’t want to ignore it.”

Incorrectly storing grain can result in significant levels of spoilage, whether from disease or insect damage — and that costs producers both time and money, said Elliott.

“When a producer takes his grain into the elevator, they always probe the grain and they always check to see the quality that’s there and to see if there are any insects there. If there’s a single live insect present, they’ll reject the entire load of grain,” he said.

“That means you’ve loaded it into the truck, taken it to the elevator, and now you’re headed back home again. You’ve wasted an awful lot of time and effort and money in doing that.”

If there’s sufficient damage, that grain could be downgraded to feed or sample quality — a particular concern in canola, which can be “quite volatile” in storage, said Angela Brackenreed, agronomy specialist at the Canola Council of Canada.

A lot can go wrong in the bin, particularly with canola, which can be “quite volatile” in storage, says the Canola Council of Canada. PHOTO: CANOLA COUNCIL OF CANADA “You have pretty severe quality risks if it’s not stored properly. We can see heating happen, and if it’s to a severe degree, you can have trouble marketing that canola, and it can drastically affect the value of that crop,” said Brackenreed.

“Losing quality and potentially losing the ability to market a No. 1 canola is probably all the risk that producers need to hear. That’s very significant.”

Temperature and moisture

Despite that, producers don’t always feel they have the time or resources to make sure that their grain is stored properly during harvest, she said.

“It’s so vitally important, but it sometimes isn’t top of mind when there’s all these very important things that need to happen,” said Brackenreed. “It can be difficult to

put the resources into proper conditioning of what’s been harvested.

But it really is vital. The first 24 to 48 hours are quite important for canola conditioning and can really save you a pile of headaches as you go into the winter.”

Elliott agrees.

“Most people just don’t consider what could happen in a bin.”

Many producers assume that, as the temperature drops outside the bin, the temperature inside the bin will drop as well, he said. And it does — to an extent.

“For the grain that’s up against the side of that bin, that’s true,” said Elliott. “But the core of that bin can still be 20 or 22 C, and that’s the right condition for diseases to occur and for insects to survive and thrive.”

Grain is “a really good insulator,” so producers need to “break up any moisture and heat that might be in the bin,” said Elliott.

And the best way to do that is through aeration.

“The best thing that they can do from a disease or insect standpoint is to get that grain to a relatively cool, relatively dry state,” he said.

But both temperature and moisture have to be managed — “not one or the other,” said Joy Agnew, project manager at PAMI. “In a year like this, the crop is coming off dry, which is good,” she said. “But even if it’s dry, it still has to be cooled to get in that minimal risk zone.

“For the most part, temperature and moisture can be controlled by blowing air through the grain.

That’s a bonus — you can deal with both of them with one simple technology.”

Now is a good time to review inoculant strategy If you had nodulation issues this year, now is a good time to find out what went wrong and make changes

BY DON NORMAN AF contributor

I

Growers of soybeans and other pulse crops need to know both if nodules are present in acceptable number, and if they’re functioning properly. PHOTO: UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA

f you’ve had issues with nodulation in your pulses, it’s a good time to review your approach regarding inoculants, says a Manitoba pulse crop specialist.

Dennis Lange said he gets a few calls every year from farmers in his province about poor nodulation in peas, other pulse crops, and soybeans. If they had problems this year, farmers should work out a strategy for next year while the specifics are fresh in their minds, he said.

Nodules are bacterial growths on the roots of legumes that have been infected with inoculants (a live rhizobia bacteria treatment). The rhizobia feed off the plant roots, and the process takes nitrogen from the air and carbohydrates from the root to create fertilizer that in turn feeds the plants.

Roots usually start nodulating in the second or third trifoliate

and once they hit full flower, there should be lots of nodules on the plant (approximately 10 per root).

But they should also be blood red inside.

“The number of nodules is not as important as if they are functioning,” Lange said. “You can have five nodules on a plant and if they’re nice and pink inside and the field is nice and green then you’re good.

“But we’ve had years when you start digging up roots and you’re not finding any. That becomes a problem because the plant eventually runs out of nitrogen.”

Avoiding poor nodulation starts with determining which treatments or treatment is best for a given field.

The same rhizobia that creates nodules on soybeans, will not create them on fababeans, or lentils. So it’s important to match up the bacteria to the crop that’s being grown.

The next consideration is the method of delivery.

There are three different methods to apply inoculants (which is usually done during seeding): a liquid

application, a peat application and a granular application. Peat is a sticky powder that adheres to the seed; liquid is sprayed on the seed and dries; and granular inoculant is poured in the furrow beside the seed.

Each has its benefits and drawbacks in terms of cost, durability, and ease of use.

Liquid inoculant scores high in the ease-of-use category because it can be applied to the seed before planting, but it can also be more prone to desiccation. Peat and granular methods are less prone to desiccation and offer higher rhizobia survival rates. Peat is a little messier to apply and while granular is the most durable of the three, it’s also the most expensive. Deciding which formulation to use will depend on soil moisture, nitrogen levels, field history, and economic factors.

The final consideration is whether multiple applications are advisable.

“The biggest thing that I encourage growers to do, is to know your history,” said Lange.

This year, find out what it feels like to be in the driver’s seat.

Each type of grain has its own target moisture content, but the target temperature for all grains is 15 C or lower. Even more importantly, producers should strive to make conditions in the bin as uniform as possible, said Brackenreed.

“High moisture, high temperature is problematic, but sometimes what’s really creating the problem is difference in conditions in the bin — gradients of moisture and temperature that can start convection currents happening. Pockets of heating and spoiling can be as small as the end of your pinky finger and then grow until all of a sudden it could be half a bin that’s spoiling. Evening out the conditions can really help to limit that volatility.”

Monitoring

kubota.ca | *See your dealer for details.

Once properly conditioned, grain needs to be monitored regularly.

“I think producers do go look — I just think that perhaps they’re not looking enough,” said Elliott.

“Think of it from a field perspective. I don’t go look at my crop of wheat one time in the summer. It’s an ongoing thing. It’s part of the work. It’s about protecting your investment.”

Temperature probes — whether installed or used manually — help make sure there are no ‘hot spots,’ which can provide a breeding ground for insects or disease.

“It can be fairly easy to do with the automation and computerization we have now,” said Elliott. “They have temperature probes that automatically relay the information to the computer. It’s not always a case of going out on a really cold January day to probe for the temperature.”

But high-tech gear isn’t a musthave, added Brackenreed.

“Not every producer has that and you don’t necessarily need to as long as you’re committed to checking bins, turning bins, and ensuring that you’re not seeing spikes in temperature,” she said.

Finding time during harvest season is tough, but complacency is costly, said Brackenreed.

“Nobody wants to be dealing with heating,” she said. “If you just think about how much effort and money and time and resources go into producing this crop, seeing degradation in quality and potentially losing a whole crop is devastating.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Root rot risk analysis tool could come online by next year There are few things that pulse producers can do to manage root rots in their fields — but a new risk assessment tool could help

BY JENNIFER BLAIR AF staff

A

new screening tool that will tell producers the risk of a root rot infection in their pulse crops could be available as early as next year.

“At the moment, if producers are concerned about whether they have root rot in their field, they can take their soil to a commercial testing lab to determine if they have presence or absence of aphanomyces root rot,” said federal research scientist Syama Chatterton.

“But really, all that tells them is yes or no — it doesn’t tell them what the quantity of inoculum is in their soil and what their risk is of actually getting the disease if they were to plant susceptible hosts like pea or lentil.”

Chatterton’s team is developing a “quantitative risk analysis tool” that will allow producers to submit soil samples to a seedtesting lab to categorize inoculum levels in the soil as low, medium, or high risk of developing root rot. The first phase of the research is determining how much inoculum is needed in the soil to trigger the disease.

“We’re trying to link the amount of inoculum in the soil to disease severity,” said Chatterton.

With aphanomyces root rot — a devastating disease that has been spreading through pea and lentil fields across Alberta — the inoculum starts out as oospores, or long-lived resting spores.

Federal research scientist Syama Chatterton is working on a tool that will identify root rot risk in pulse crops. PHOTO: Supplied “We’ve determined that it takes about 100 oospores per gram of soil to give you a moderate disease risk,” said Chatterton.

“We have a pretty clear idea of how much inoculum is needed in the soil to produce disease.”

Feds willing to restore rail service to Port of Churchill The government says it’s prepared to act quickly provided certain conditions are met

BY DAVE SIMS CNSC

O

ttawa says it’s prepared to restore rail service to residents in Churchill.

The rail line was closed in the spring of 2017 after flooding damaged multiple sections of the route to the northern Manitoba community.

The owner of the line, OmniTrax, said repairs would cost as much as US$60 million and it wasn’t prepared to pay without government assistance. Residents of Churchill maintain the line is a public utility and has to be repaired before winter arrives. Some residents even travelled to Winnipeg to hold protests over the issue.

Previously, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the Denver-based company had legal obligations to restore service to the community.

However, the government now says it is prepared to “facilitate discussion for the

transfer of the rail line to a new owner and will work with that new owner to restore rail service.”

At least two different groups comprised of northern Manitoba First Nations have expressed interest in taking over the line. Recently, the government of Manitoba said it would be willing to pay as much as C$500 million over 10 years to fix and maintain service. It wasn’t initially clear however, how much of that money would be entirely new.

In the release, Ottawa said it’s fully prepared to act quickly to provide such support, provided the asset price is a reasonable price and takes into account OmniTrax’s obligations; there is support from First Nations and communities along the route; and the new owner has a viable business plan to operate the rail line safely, reliably and cost effectively.

OmniTrax bought the government-owned port and the CN line and port in 1997, closing the latter in 2016.

Chatterton is now working on the second phase of the research — developing a molecular tool that quantifies the DNA of the oospores in the soil.

So far, that molecular tool is able to quantify oospores at higher levels (anything above

100 oospores per gram of soil), but the challenge now is detecting oospores at levels lower than that.

“We’d be able to go in and for sure determine what a high-risk field is,” said Chatterton. “It takes about 100 oospores per gram of soil to develop disease, but unfortunately, with the molecular tools that we have, we get a lot of false negatives at about that 100-oospore level.”

And because inoculum builds up in the soil over time, it could almost be too late by the time that level of disease risk is identified.

“It’s very important for us to be able to detect the lower levels of inoculum so that producers would have a heads-up that the inoculum is starting to build in that field and they should maybe pull back on the pea and lentil rotation to try and keep it under that threshold level of 100 oospores per gram of soil,” said Chatterton.

Chatterton’s team has developed a new mechanism to see if they can “reduce that false negative rate,” as well as different soil extraction protocols.

“We don’t want to release a test or a risk assessment tool until we’re confident that we have reduced that false negative level,” she said, adding that the test likely won’t cost “much more than, say, a clubroot test.”

“Most optimistic, we’d be maybe six more months, but it might take another year or two before we can bring those two different aspects together —

“We don’t want to release a test or a risk assessment tool until we’re confident that we have reduced that false negative level.”

an improved extraction protocol from the soil and improved detection methods.”

Once it comes online, this test will offer pulse producers a little more certainty as to the level of root rot in their field, and the risk of planting a susceptible crop on any given year.

“When we’re dealing with these root rot issues, we really have few management recommendations that we can provide to producers,” said Chatterton.

“The most standard recommendation is that a producer should avoid planting peas or lentils in a highly infested field for at least six to eight years, but we can’t really tell a producer when it’s safe for them to plant peas or lentils again.

“They need to have some sort of tool that helps them make those important management decisions for their farm.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Regulations force hemp producers to destroy valuable nutraceutical Health Canada will consult with hemp industry in lead-up to cannabis legalization

BY SHANNON VANRAES Staff/Dauphin, Man.

R

od Fisher is an old hand at what is still a relatively new Canadian crop — hemp.

When production was legalized in 1998, Fisher and his two brothers obtained a Health Canada licence and dipped their toes into the water with a few dozen acres.

Today, they plant between 1,500 and 1,600 acres each year.

“We were working with Canterra seeds when hemp first came in... it was a distributor and it just kind of grew from there,” Fisher said. “We tried a field audit and it worked well.”

Part of the crop’s appeal is that it can be seeded late in the season after wet fields dry out, Fisher said, adding he’s harvested mature plants after seeding as late as July 6 or 7.

“It’s a unique crop,” said Fisher.

“And on our farm it’s been one of the better-paying crops.”

But while hemp can be grown for seed and fibre in Canada, producers are still shut out of the potentially lucrative nutraceutical market.

“It’s a lost opportunity,” Fisher said.

Keith Watson, an agronomist and plant breeder with Parkland Industrial Hemp Growers Co-op, agrees with that assessment. While many Canadians herald cannabis legalization as the way to increase the availability of CBD or cannabidiol, which is prized as a potential anxiety medication and anti-convulsive, Watson notes hemp also produces the medically significant cannabinoid.

“We’re into hemp and we’ve always consciously made a distinction between hemp and marijuana and kept it separate, so we don’t want to cloud it with that issue,” Watson said. “But we have developed (hemp) varieties which are higher in CBD.” While only a small portion of the hemp plant — the brac surrounding the seeds — contains cannabidiol, the agronomist argues it could go a long ways towards supplying a medical market.

“Agriculturally we could supply them and it would be a huge opportunity, but the regulations are holding us back,” said Watson.

“Even if you were only getting five per cent of it, you’d still be getting a lot of it to supply that medical market.”

Whole plant

Organizations like the Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance are pushing Health Canada to move towards allowing the entire hemp plant to be used and away from regulations created in an era when cannabis was seen as a dangerous and forbidden narcotic.

President Russ Crawford said the organization has met with Bill Blair — the police chief turned politician who led the government’s task force on cannabis legalization — and hopes their concerns have reached the right people.

“The prime minister has said that the goal is to make marijuana legal by July 1, 2018. Our request of that process is to exclude industrial hemp from those regulations and to acknowledge that it is different and it should not be treated in the same fashion,” Crawford said. “And the reason we’re asking

“Industrial hemp regulations were developed as an enabling legislation to allow for the production of hemp.

So it’s our friend, it’s not our enemy, but it’s also becoming limiting in terms of what you can and can’t do.”

Hemp doesn’t produce the psychotropic cannabinoid THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, but it is still regulated by the Controlled Substances Act. “So it’s considered to be a narcotic and it’s treated in the same fashion as heroin and cocaine. It was simply done that way because there was not really the ability to distinguish industrial hemp from marijuana when this act first came into place,” Crawford explained.

Valuable market

According to a report completed

by The Hemp Business Journal, the market for CBD and CBD-containing products could reach a sales value of $2.1 billion by 2020 in the United States alone, about a quarter of which is expected to come from hemp. Canadian imports could be a big part of U.S. sales if the regulatory environment was more conducive to exports, said Crawford.

Proponents of CBD tout it as a cure for everything from diabetes and acne, to fibromyalgia, schizophrenia and mad cow disease, but research into the isolate is in its infancy, with most scientific inquiries focused on its effect on seizures.

But health claims can be made with cannabis products and Health Canada has already approved products containing cannabinoids. These products are classified as “therapeutic” under the Food and Drugs Act, said a Health Canada spokesperson, adding the hemp industry’s request to be able

to use the whole plant is being considered.

Some interim changes have already been made, including the elimination of THC testing for most crops and the extended validity of licences, allowing the sale and purchasing of products grown in the previous year.

Crawford believes that if Canada moves forward prudently, hemp could open the door to countless products and opportunities, positioning Canadian producers at the forefront of a growth sector.

“There’s a financial benefit to farmers and there’s the financial potential of a value-added industry being developed in Canada,” he said. “It’s challenging to grow, but we’re developing varieties that are easier to harvest and more suited to their agricultural applications.”

But with so many hurdles still ahead, Watson said hemp needs help to break into the mainstream and out of its regulatory confines.

“It needs all the lobbying it can get, people need to know about the benefits and why we can’t just harvest those parts of the plant,” the plant breeder said. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

SUNSET GLORY

Smoke from wildfires burning in B.C., Montana and Washington state have plagued southern Alberta for much of the summer, turning the sun a blazing orange. A couple of cows and a flock of cowbirds are silhouetted in an evening sunset, on ranchland near Priddis.

Annual Drive Away Hunger campaign now underway

BOOK YOUR 2018 SEED TODAY

Contact your local Richardson Pioneer Ag Business Centre

Camrose and Lloydminster are two of the stops on Farm Credit Canada’s Drive Away Hunger tractor tour this year.

The Drive Away Hunger campaign collects food and cash donations for food banks and hunger programs. Beginning Oct. 10, tractors pulling trailers will visit communities in five provinces to collect donations, which can also be made at FCC offices until Oct. 13. (Monetary donations can be also made at www.fccdriveawayhunger. ca.) In addition to co-ordinating the food drive, FCC will also donate $100,000 to school meal programs across Canada.

An estimated 860,000 Canadians, many of whom are children, experience hunger every month, Michael Hoffort, president and CEO of the ag lender, said in a release.

Since it started in 2004, the campaign has collected enough food and cash donations to make 33 million meals. — Staff

Get advice on renewable energy leases

Wheat commission looking for candidates

The Farmers’ Advocate Office has released an updated guide for landowners who have been approached by renewable energy developers to lease land for wind and solar developments.

The first version of the guide, called Renewable Energy in Alberta, only came out in February but has been revised following a series of presentations to landowners across the province. “The new version reflects what we’ve learned in talking with landowners, municipalities, and professional organizations,” said Jeana Schuurman, an official with the advocate office. It can be found at www.agriculture.alberta.ca (search for ‘fao renewable’). — FAO

The Alberta Wheat Commission is looking for candidates for two directors and three regional representatives in Regions 2 and 4. Farmers can become candidates by filling the nomination package recently mailed to them (it is also available at www.albertawheat.com). Voting will take place at Next Level Farming events — Nov. 15 in Acme for Region 2 and Nov. 23 in Viking for Region 4. Candidates must have grown or sold wheat and paid a checkoff in either the current or previous two fiscal years. Nominations must be received by Oct. 31. — AWC

HEARTLAND Farmers, grain companies deliver consistent message on rail legislation They told the transport committee C-49 is an improvement but more needs to be done

BY ALLAN DAWSON Staff

P

ending transportation legislation has hit the target — but it’s not a bull’s-eye.

That was the message from western Canadian grain farmers, elevator companies, and oilseed processors earlier when they spoke to the House of Commons transport committee on Bill C-49, the Transportation Modernization Act. They told legislators that there was still room for improvement.

“Our points have come across and it shows in the (proposed) act, but... there are still some loopholes,” said Norm Hall, vicepresident of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan and Canadian Federation of Agriculture.

Legislation is needed to compel the railways to be financially accountable when they fail to provide agreed-to service, said Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevator Association.

“We talk about things through the Crop Logistics Working Group... we share ideas and we’re all very consistent and very much on the same page,” he said in an interview. “We all know what we need to make sure that we have this balance between shippers and railways. It’s just a matter of getting the ball over the goal line with the government.”

Although a review of the Canada Transportation Act was scheduled, following the grain-shipping backlog of 2013-14, Ottawa started it a year early. The costly backlog added to the urgency, galvanizing farm groups and grain companies into a rare show of solidarity In his formal remarks to the committee Hall emphasized that ultimately farmers pay for grain shipping — a bill that in the 201415 crop year totalled $1.4 billion.

“While Bill C-49 is a great step in the right direction, it almost seems as if they are meant to look like improvements without real change, leaving railways far too much room not to comply with the intent and far short of emulating a competitive environment,” Hall’s written presentation says.

For example, the bill calls for more data collection but doesn’t give the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA), which administers the legislation, the authority to use all the data.

Farmers, elevator operators and oilseed processors all say there is still room for improvement in pending transportation legislation. PHOTO: Laura Rance Sobkowich had a similar complaint, noting proposed data collection under the act doesn’t include the number of cars grain companies order from the railways but don’t get on time.

The presenters to the transport committee also agreed proposed long haul interswitching should be priced based on competitive freight rates rather than historical ones. Sobkowich noted that under the proposal an elevator or processor couldn’t access long haul interswitching — a provision the government says should increase competition among railways — if it was located within 30 kilometres of a competing railway, even if that competing railway doesn’t deliver where the shipper wants grain to go.

Sobkowich told the committee his association wanted to keep extended interswitching, a provision introduced as a temporary, emergency measure to stimulate railway competition.

“The extended interswitching order had been in effect for the last three growing seasons and had evolved into an invaluable tool for western grain shippers,” he told the committee.

A few suggestions

Given C-49 is an improvement, Sobkowich said his association is proposing only four small amendments to improve it, with three dealing with long haul interswitching. One would give shippers more flexibility, another would ensure fair rates when used, and the third would list interchange sites and prevent railways from arbitrarily delisting them.

Its other proposed amendment is to add soybeans and soybean products to the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE) formula used to set the total amount the railways can earn hauling western grain. The MRE was introduced to

give the railways rate-setting flexibility to encourage system efficiencies, but protecting farmers by preventing the railways from charging what the market would bear.

Sobkowich pointed out that American grain moving through Canada to export through Thunder Bay or the West Coast, is covered by the MRE, but Canadian soybeans are not.

While Sobkowich and Hall welcomed the continuation of the MRE under C-49, Hall argued the railway costs of shipping grain used in the formula need to be reviewed — something that hasn’t happened for more than 20 years.

“As has been frequently stated, it is impossible to even do a credible impact analysis of legislative changes without actual current costing data,” Hall said.

Level of service and compliance mechanisms have to prevent railways from being ambivalent about providing services because shippers have no other options, Hall said. To that end the transport minister should monitor rail service.

Hall also emphasized penalties against the railways must not be included in the MRE calculation, which would pass the cost back to farmers.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture also wants C-49 to give the transport minister the power to set the amount of grain railways have to move if a backlog reoccurs.

Hall called for a moratorium on railway abandonment of producer car loading sites, which farmers pay to maintain through the MRE. In separate interviews Hall and Sobkowich said they felt the committee understood their message.

“I think we put our best foot forward,” Sobkowich said. “Now we’ll see what happens.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

Japan picks ‘Wagyu Olympics’ winner The luxury beef has seen growing demand in recent years worldwide

BY MEGUMI LIM

“These last few years, the boom in Japanese food, as well as widespread praise for the high quality of wagyu, have caused overseas demand to grow.”

M

ore than 500 cattle paraded through a ring in northern Japan in the “Wagyu Olympics” to win prizes and renown as the most fertile — and mouth-watering — examples of “wagyu” beef, increasingly popular among foodies.

The contest saw breeders of wagyu, prized for its luscious marbling, compete for fame in categories such as best beef cattle, best bull and most fertile cow.

Fertility is judged by the shape of the cow’s shoulders, its toned legs, and the “topline,” or the flatness of the back. Beef quality is judged by the cattle’s fat marbling and leanness.

Overseas demand for wagyu has soared since widespread import bans were lifted more than a decade after an outbreak of mad cow disease in 2001.

In 2016, beef was Japan’s top export in the agricultural and live-

Though “seed cattle” winners at the five-yearly event, such as Fumi-

ayame, go home to be cosseted and produce future generations of winners, the beef division winners are slaughtered the day after the judging and are promptly frozen and auctioned at the Olympics.

The most expensive beef went for 54,001 yen (US$498) per kilo, and the most moderate for 3,241 yen (US$29.77).

Declining prices for crops across the board during the past year are reflected in the latest Farm Product Price Index from Statistics Canada.

The crops index fell 2.8 per cent in June to 122.8, compared to June 2016, a loss StatsCan attributed to grains and special crops.

The grains index fell 4.7 per cent compared to the same month a year ago to 104.8 in keeping with a general downward trend that started in July 2016 when global grain stockpiles started to grow.

However, the June decline was the smallest drop since November 2016, with weather concerns beginning to cast doubt on the North American crop for this year, StatsCan said.

While the index was down compared to a year ago, it was up 2.04 per cent from May. The special crops index was at 148.2 for June compared to 210.7 in June 2016, a 30 per cent decline, as world lentil and dry pea prices fell.

Meanwhile, increases in the livestock industry helped offset overall farm price declines. The cattle and calf index climbed 3.9 per cent in June compared to the same month a year ago.

Overall, the livestock and animal products index was up 1.8 per cent.

This follows gains of one per cent made for May. May and June together now account for the first gains the livestock and animal parts index has made since StatsCan started reporting yearover-year data in October 2015.

The increase was due mainly to higher cattle and hog prices, StatsCan said, but eggs and dairy also contributed.

The hogs index was up 5.4 per cent in June 2017 compared to June 2016 on the heels of two months of declines. Strong export demand offset higher hog supplies.

The FPPI measures price changes received by farmers for the sale of agricultural products and uses a five-year rolling average as its base.

Ramping up on phosphorus can be a winning strategy, say experts Building soil phosphorus when fertilizer prices are lower may have big impacts for future profit

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Staff

A

Manitoba ‘phosphorus ramp’ trial has shown the nutrient is a farmer’s friend in an alfalfa field.

The ongoing three-year trial tracks crop impact from a onetime phosphorus application ranging from no fertilization to 100 pounds per acre.

“Basically, it’s a determination of what application rate of phosphorus is ideal for alfalfa in your environment,” said Ray Bittner, a livestock specialist with Manitoba Agriculture.

“Every environment is different with different moisture, different soil types.”

Higher phosphorus treatments showed progressively better yields in the two locations of the trial, although protein content showed little difference between high and low applications.

A 60-pound-per-acre treatment best balanced economic cost and yield benefit at one site, although Bittner stressed the ideal treatment depends heavily on what soil phosphorus levels are prior to the ramp-up.

He also argued that any phosphorus application might be more effective in midsummer, directly after the first cut and timed to take advantage of the midsummer rains to move it into the soil.

Building up

The largely economic argument stemmed from years where phosphorus prices spiked, causing farmers to take a hit to their wallets if they wanted to fertilize.

In 2008, global fertilizer price skyrocketed, including phosphorus-based products.

According to a 2016 report by the University of Guelph, which tracked regional farm input prices over the last decade, some fertilizer prices jumped four to five times in the U.S. At its peak, phosphorus-based fertilizer hit

$1,000 or even $1,200 per tonne in both the U.S. and Canadian Great Lakes region, the report said.

Bittner encouraged farmers to build soil phosphorus during low-cost years and limit expense during times when phosphorus cost is high.

The phosphorus ramp might also impact best practices for stand longevity and weed competition, along with yield and forage quality, said Glenn Friesen, forage business development specialist with Manitoba Agriculture.

Stand longevity is being studied through the phosphorus ramp, although current data is limited since stands in both plots are young, Bittner said. astockford@farmmedia.com

“Both of them benefited from higher phosphorus levels in yield. Possibly more importantly, we noticed that the plant forage phosphorus levels were higher on higher application rates.”

“Both of them benefited from higher phosphorus levels in yield,” he said. “Possibly more importantly, we noticed that the plant forage phosphorus levels were higher on higher application rates, so the plants knew that they were being more fertilized. They were actually putting more into the forage for phosphorus. It actually did make it into the system even though we did apply it in May and started harvesting in the end of June.”

Soil sat at roughly nine parts per million of phosphorus at one plot seeded in 2016. Bittner estimates soil will need to reach 14 parts per million on the Olsen scale (a common measure that estimates available phosphorus) before the field will begin yielding fully.

While protein counts yielded little difference, the relationship between phosphorus and number of stems flipped over the two years. In 2016, researchers saw higher-phosphorus plots with fewer stems, while in 2017, the opposite was true.

“Take your alfalfa earlier,” Bittner advised. “Almost everybody is guilty of taking alfalfa too late and getting a high yield, but a low leaf yield in comparison to stems.”

Rootstock blends rock music, what’s up local food, and conversations about farming

R

ootstock rocked its third year out at the Flint Rock Ranch.

About 400 people attended the fundraiser — which brings together city folk and local farmers to enjoy a farm-to-table dinner — late last month.

“In the last few years, we’ve started raising grass-finished beef in an attempt to nurture and be good stewards of the land,” said Bette Mitchell, who owns and operates the host ranch north of Pincher Creek with her husband and four sons.

“We thought this was the best way because the animals are very healthy. We treat them very well, and we don’t give them extra stuff they don’t need.”

The annual fundraiser also featured Juno-winning rock band, Wintersleep, other musical guests and a farmers’ market.

First held on a grain farm near Didsbury, the event has grown in popularity and size since then.

Rootstock was created by Kimberly Cornish, an Olds native and executive director of the Food Water Wellness Foundation, which aims to foster farms that are both environmentally and financially sustainable by linking farmers to both extension information and marketing channels.

“I’m a holistic nutritionist, so I believe in the health benefits of grass-finished beef,” said Mitchell, who resides in Calgary when not raising Angus cattle on her 1,000acre ranch.

“In that vein, we hooked up with Kimberly Cornish from Food Water Wellness. She’s connected us with holistic management seminars and consultants, and introduced us to the whole world of range management.”

Among the participating vendors offering samples or items for dinner included Lethbridge County heritage hog producer Broek Pork Acres, Calgary probiotic drink maker Steep Peak Kombucha, B.C.’s Tinhorn Creek Wines, and Fallentimber Meadery of Water Valley, which

The Mitchells raise cattle and practise range and holistic management on their 1,000 acres.

They hosted Rootstock on their ranch. served up free mead-jitos (a mix of mead with mojito flavouring).

The evening was hosted by Julie Van Rosendaal, a Calgary-based cookbook writer, chef, and food columnist.

“I never want to slam conventional people because there’s a place in the market for everything,” Mitchell said at the event.

“We are a niche market and we find people who are interested, who value eating less meat, but what they consider or what we consider better quality.

“I really truly believe that, or I wouldn’t be doing it. This food nourishes our body. And before all of our cattle go to slaughter, I

The Mitchell family only processes about 30 cattle each year, but plans to increase that number as their market grows.

“We can actually have hundreds of cows on this property, but we don’t have a market for it yet,” she said.

Currently, the family is direct marketing online, taking orders from family and friends, and sell-

ing sampler packs to people who want to try the product.

“This is the biggest group we’ve had out,” said Mitchell. “We’ve had a few weddings, but the most people we’ve had is 120.”

She added Food Water Wellness did most of the organizing of the event.

“We just got the property ready and prayed for awesome weather.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Symposium aims to educate educators about ag Ag for Life is hosting a teachers’ symposium in a bid to bridge “the gap between the agriculture sector and classroom curriculum.”

“Most families are three to five generations removed from the farm today and that disconnect leads to a misunderstanding about how food is raised,” said Luree Williamson, CEO of the Alberta nonprofit, which promotes a greater understanding of agriculture.

“We feel the best way to shift this gap is to have agriculture within the curriculum throughout K-12 education.”

The Agriculture Education Teachers’ Symposium will bring educators, farmers, and agriculture industry experts together at Cochrane RancheHouse on Nov. 24. The day-long event will have speakers, panel discussions, and breakout sessions aimed at aid-

ing educators in incorporating agriculture into their existing curriculum. Topics include sustainability, the different types of crops being grown; pesticide use and the role of bees; container gardening in the classroom; and careers in agriculture.

The symposium will be an annual event, Ag for Life said in a news release.

“Funny thing, everybody eats,

and so relies on agriculture,” said Frank Robinson, a professor of poultry science at the University of Alberta and a keynote speaker at the event.

“However, not very many people know much about agriculture anymore. There is a lot of need for agricultural learning.”
