ural Manitoba lost one more wooden grain elevator last week with the demolition of a United Grain Growers site at Birch River. The building was owned by the RM of Mountain which took possession of it in a tax sale after its private owner passed away. Equipment operators rolled in March 5 after council deliberated on what to do with the huge, dilapidated wooden structure. This wasn’t an easy choice to make, but the condition of the site had become too much a liability for the municipality, said Mountain’s chief administrative officer. “There was some concern of it being a fire hazard right in the middle of town,” said Paige Larocque. “We’ve had a few incidents where someone did try to light it on fire. Council just wanted to eliminate that risk and that’s why it decided to get rid of it. “It was a very difficult decision,” she added. “I know a lot of people in town feel it’s a landmark.” Birch River’s elevator is just the most recent to come down. Since last May Manitoba has lost another half-dozen elevators. A former Manitoba Pool Elevator at Clanwilliam, also unused, was demolished last month. Last April a Paterson elevator at Morris came down and another Paterson site was demolished at Meadows in July. In May the Manitoba Pool Elevator See ELEVATORS on page 6 »

sed to be keeping backyard chickens was a sign of economic hardship. These days however, it’s become an urban hobby and many proponents say they think it will be safer, fresher and more nutritious. A new study from the University of California-Davis is calling that view into question. It suggests local ordinances aren’t adequate. “Ironically, as people seek to take control over the way their food is grown, most ordinances fail to ensure basic health and welfare for birds and humans,” said Catherine Brinkley, primary author of the study. The paper was recently published in the Journal of Community Health. What needs to happen, the author recommends, is laws that mandate vaccinations, manure management and general animal welfare in urban and suburban settings similar to policies and regulations imposed on commercial chicken operations.

“P r ov i s i o n s g ov e r n i n g animal slaughter and routine veterinary care are rare, presenting a concern for monitoring and intervening in public health crises,” the study says. The study was based on 100 municipalities in Colorado because the state has the most extensive records available and is a hotbed of the practice. The most common guidelines for poultry ordinances

pertain to housing design, placement and the sex of birds. Regulations pertaining to cleanliness, ventilation, and food ordinances governing the slaughter of backyard chickens are also non-existent or at best vague. Regulations pertaining to the chickens’ health and welfare were also rare, with only two per cent of municipalities including poultry under animal cruelty and abuse regulations.

New turkey market mechanisms needed

Surplus turkey stocks continue to cause problems for producers despite improvements BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

anitoba turkey producers are looking to their national counterparts to help find a solution to the current overstock of storage turkeys in the country. While the stock of surplus birds was lower this January than last, several factors continue to hamper the flow of turkey through processors and into the market. Bill Uruski, chairman of the Manitoba Turkey Producers, told the organization’s members that rather than an enforcement systhe results could mean increased tem at that time. “Having processors dictate the levies during the organization’s annual general meeting in supply required the opportunity to overshoot it without any conWinnipeg last week. “Given our current storage sequences, we are now tasked stocks of turkey in Canada, our with finding a way to make this national directors have had to further processing component cut production.

that (processors) make when they are looking for new product, so basically, if you are requesting a certain amount of product, that you be responsible for it and that it doesn’t affect the market moving forward,” said Davies. As of January 1, Canadian turkey stocks were at 21.1 million kilograms, down from 24.8 million kilograms the year before. An improvement, but not one large enough to prevent a reduction in quota allocations, Davies said, something that required some tough decisions and a lot of co-operation from provincial organizations. “Our quota allocations for 2018 set last November are a good example of this — of all of us setting aside partisan desire and doing what must be done. As difficult as it is, we face the facts that market conditions were difficult. The disappearance of whole birds at Thanksgiving was disappointing and as a result of that the stocks remain high,” he said. “No one liked the idea of reducing quota, but we recognized that was the action that had to be taken.” TFC set the preliminary 2018-19 whole bird allocation at 63 million kilograms, which was down three million kilograms from the previous 2017-18 allocation. However, further processing allocations remain unchanged at 83.9 million kilograms. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Snowstorm welcome but some moisture risk remains Even with a foot of wet snow, challenges could linger this season CNS Canada

fter a winter spent waiting for snow, farmers across the southern Prairies were happy when the forecast was right and a latewinter snowstorm hit. “We’ve heard moisture’s coming before and it doesn’t show up or it goes around us. So when it started snowing and it started adding up it was a pretty good feeling,” said Terry Anthony, director with the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan and mixed grain farmer south of Moose Jaw, Sask. Last summer the southern Prairies were plagued by a dry growing season, crops managed to survive due to moisture in the soil from previous wet years. December through to February saw little snowfall, with some areas receiving none. Conditions continued to deteriorate across Western Canada. The Agriculture and AgriFood Canada (AAFC) Drought Monitor showed moderate drought conditions throughout the southern Prairies, with southern Saskatchewan in severe drought and the area surrounding Regina in extreme drought as of March 1. “(There was just not enough snow) to recharge the soil moisture, the deficits were there up until now. Basically we saw extremely dry conditions,” said Trevor Hadwen, agroclimate specialist with AAFC. At Anthony’s farm he witnessed the dry conditions first hand. He received a small snowfall at the start of the winter but winds blew it away and in the pastures where he kept his cattle, dust started blowing. “It doesn’t give you a lot of hope. It wasn’t the fields that were blowing but where the cattle were. They had the pasture tramped down, so it really wasn’t looking very good,” he said. Following the snowstorm over March 4 to 5 the situation has changed with drought conditions not nearly as bad, accord-

“We have significant deficits that we’re trying to make up from last year and last fall and one inch of moisture will provide a really good start.” Trevor Hadwen agroclimate specialist, AAFC

ing to Hadwen. However, it is still abnormally dry across most of Western Canada. About a foot of snow fell across most of the southern Prairies, with the moisture content in the snow equalling about an inch and a half of rain. “It certainly won’t solve all the issues though. We have significant deficits that we’re trying to make up from last year and last fall and one inch of moisture will provide a really good start,” Hadwen said. The snow could have a larger impact though depending on how it melts. Last summer’s drought led to depleted and tainted water supplies for livestock across Western Canada. Testing done by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture on water collected last year showed about half of water sources tested were unacceptable for livestock to drink. Replenishing those water sources is very important and typically happens through spring run-off. Spring flooding forecasts for Manitoba and Saskatchewan released prior to the snowstorm showed a moderate to below-normal risk. “(The flooding forecast) has probably changed a little bit now. We’re hoping for a little bit of run-off to fill those dugouts and water supplies and then also at the same time we’re hoping for a slow melt to kind of recharge that soil moisture,” Hadwen said.

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Long-term fix needed

C Gord Gilmour Editor

anada’s grain handling and transportation system has descended into one of its periodic episodes of chaos and uncertainty. A big crop and some cold weather have met railways cut to the bone in search of profit, observers say, leading to the predictable outcome of grain movement grinding to a near halt. The last time was the brutal winter of 2013-14, but that’s just the latest iteration of a story that’s now decades old. There are two factors that make this a

recurring theme. First, railways are the only economical way to move bulk grains to market from the Prairies. Trucking simply cannot compete over long distances, there are no navigable waterways in the style of the Mississippi River and other options like a pneumatic grain ‘pipeline’ remain pie in the sky. In addition to no competition for the railways, there is little incentive for the two national railways to compete. There are of course a few areas of overlap, but generally the two lines operate in geographic isolation from each other, CP on the southern Prairies and CN to the north. In light of these two realities, frustrated grain shippers say this result is unsurprising. Railways understand this grain is captive to their lines and the result is a lack of any sense of urgency to service these shippers. If other shipping volume grows — containers from China or frac sand for the energy industry, for example — that means less rolling stock and fewer people to move grain. The immediate effects are sobering as demonstrated by the billions of dollars lost to demurrage, lost revenue and lost sales from the 2013-14 debacle. Grain shippers may be captive, but Canada’s grain customers are not. Keep overseas processors waiting for too long and they might go elsewhere; they might not be back. The federal government needs to move swiftly to pass Bill C-49, which provides grain shippers with better tools for holding the railways more accountable. The bill should have been in place before temporary measures brought into play in the wake of the last disruption were allowed to expire. History has shown that without competition and without adequate regulation, Canada’s railways will continue to put their short-term economic interests ahead of national goals. But that’s all water under the bridge so to speak. Speaking of bridges, maybe the discussion should now turn to what is needed to secure Canada’s reputation as a reliable and highquality supplier of grains in the future. The Prime Minister’s Advisory Panel on Economic Growth report, the so-called Barton Report, identified the agriculture and agri-food sector as a key player in this country’s economic future. It recommended Canada set its sights on becoming the world’s second-largest exporter in the next decade or so. But that report also cited the need for major investments in its transportation infrastructure in order to make that happen. “Canada’s agri-food, resources, and energy sectors, for example, all underwent positive transformations over the past decade, but our comparative advantages there are all too often curtailed by inadequate capacity in transportation infrastructure,” the report said. That report noted that infrastructure investments are in of themselves a factor in economic growth, pointing out that for every dollar invested, the economy grows by $1.60 in the first year. Looking to the future, investments that make the movement of goods to market more seamless are bound to have economic spinoffs that ripple through the economy, just as transportation snafus like this year’s spread the pain far and wide. The federal government is promising action on the immediate crisis by mid-March, and there are no doubt benefits that accrue from legislation that can hold the railways to account. Looking to the longer term, the government established the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) in February as recommended by the Barton Report. It’s a Crown corporation that will use $35 billion in federal funds to leverage investments in infrastructure that contributes to long-term economic growth. A mere $5 billion of that is dedicated to trade and transportation corridors, but it’s a start. Is better logistics management the only fix needed in Canada’s grain transportation network, or are hard investments needed? For example, can some of those investments be used to add a degree of competition to the system by adding infrastructure that increases the potential for interswitching? The thought of building new rail infrastructure after decades of pulling up lines and shipping the steel off to China might sound heretical, but it’s time to think outside the box. Changes to the transportation system now should not only be focused on addressing the problems of today. They need to face the demands of the future. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Flawed Bill C-49 won’t aid farmers BY CAM GOFF National Farmers Union

he Senate is now studying Bill C-49, a bill to amend Canada’s Transportation Act and other related acts, which the House of Commons passed in November. The National Farmers Union (NFU) is one of many groups urging the Senate’s Tra n s p o r t a t i o n a n d Co m m u n i c a t i o n s Committee to amend the bill before it goes back to the Senate for a final vote. As it currently stands, Bill C-49 is so flawed that it is unlikely to provide any relief to farmers. Its provisions actually weaken the position of farmers and offer empty solutions to real problems. A system of reciprocal penalties for nonperformance by grain companies and railways could prove useless for improving service or reducing costs for farmers. Grain companies are unlikely to pass any savings on to farmers since costs they incur can be hidden in basis discounts on grain prices paid to farmers. Rail service may even get worse since the railways may decide to schedule fewer car drops unless they are certain they can supply them: no scheduled drops mean no penalties to be applied. Bill C-49 weakens the railways’ common carrier obligations to the point it may become almost impossible to find that a railway is providing insufficient service. Today, a railway must deliver every properly loaded car to its destination in a timely manner. If Bill C-49 is passed as is, the railways will be able to claim they are doing the best they can under the circumstances when they fail to provide service, and shippers will have no recourse.

OUR HISTORY:

The ability to ship producer cars is an important option for farmers to get their crops to market without being at the mercy of railways or grain companies. To make this work as it should, producer car shipping rules need to be strengthened, but there is nothing to address this problem in Bill C-49. Instead of a reciprocal penalty system, we need an independent body that includes farmer representation to arbitrate disputes and enforce compliance between shippers and the railways in a timely manner. We also need such an independent body to co-ordinate grain movement by rail between the country elevators and export terminals in order to maintain Canada’s reputation with our export customers. Bill C-49 fails to require a full costing review of the railways. This would not only be of benefit to farmers and save them tens of millions of dollars annually, but I believe that all shippers would be very interested in the results too. We also have to question why Bill C-49 increases the cap on a single entity’s ownership stake in CN Rail from 15 per cent to 25 per cent. There is no rationale provided for this concession. The federal government must be prepared to regulate and govern the rail industry like the vital infrastructure it is, to promote the economic interests of the entire Canadian economy — including farmers — and not allow the railways to be used solely as a means to enrich its shareholders.

March 1970

his ad from our March 13, 1970 issue advised producers that they would receive information on how to participate in Operation LIFT (Lower inventories for tomorrow) for the next season. The quota for the current year was announced to be no higher than four bushels per acre. With Canada sitting on almost a three-year wheat supply in addition to other surpluses elsewhere, the government was hoping to reduce the carry-over by paying farmers $6 per acre for summerfallow instead of wheat acres, and $10 for conversion to perennial forage. The program worked — prices did improve the following year, but they shot even higher in 1972 after the massive “Great Grain Robbery” purchases by the Soviet Union. Forgetting or ignoring that there was a two-year gap between LIFT and the 1972 purchases, many farmers later branded the program a failure. That month we also reported on the Manitoba legislature’s speech from the throne, which had several proposals to improve the farm economy. They included incentives for diversifying into livestock, establishing regional vet clinics, expanded crop insurance, a new accounting program and assistance with local conservation measures. We also reported on a radical proposal by one of the authors of the report of the Royal Commission on Farm Machinery. It suggested that farmers, with government assistance, form a large co-op which would take over merchandising from local dealers. There would be just a few “machinery marts” where farmers could visit to see all makes and models, and then make purchases which would be shipped direct from factory to farm.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Trade wars and food fights It would appear Bill Morneau is happy fiddling while our economy burns BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS Dalhousie University

ill Morneau is perhaps an influential figure in Trudeau’s cabinet, but he’s no finance minister. Given the budget he presented earlier this month, he may be more of a social justice enabler. Supporting more diversity, equality and inclusiveness is obviously critical to the betterment of our society, but most Canadians do expect more from a finance minister. Last week’s budget was anything but that. There were no plans to balance the books and, most importantly, there were no mitigating strategies presented in relation to a floundering global trade environment. Few details were given on the government’s plan to deal with NAFTA’s possible demise on Washington’s “America First” policy and there were no attempts to circumvent trading challenges. The ugly face of protectionism is slowly making its way across the globe. Washington announced recently it is considering new trade restrictions, including a 25 per cent tariff on imported steel and a 10 per cent duty on aluminum. This could obviously be the beginning of a trade war, embraced by Donald Trump. Despite recent trade deals signed by Canada, the world seems at odds with open trading, and instead everyone wants to protect their own domestic markets. This is a seemingly dangerous path given that agriculture and food are often considered as the

most vulnerable and sensitive sectors when it comes to trade barriers. Easy targets. Tariff or non-tariff barriers can make a significant dent in an economy almost instantly and consumers are often affected the most. Most economists agree to see trade as an absolute good until politics come along. Not all are created equal and Trump is clearly opting against trade, as he sees it as a zero sum game. Some win while others lose, and given the economics of our country, Canada can not win many trade wars, especially not with the U.S. In fact, we are already witnessing how a trade war could affect the Canadian agri-food sector as Canadian pulse farmers are now bracing for some major trading headwinds with India. Some political opponents are linking our prime minister’s recent visit to India with its decision to increase its tariff on chickpeas from 44 per cent to 60 per cent, overnight. This decision comes after India introduced a variety of tariffs on pulse crops, including lentils, peas and chickpeas, in the past few months. These are growth sectors for our economy.

Canadian pulse exports to India alone are worth well over $1 billion. This could easily escalate further and affect other sectors of our agrifood economy. In Europe, South America, everywhere, we are seeing more governments reducing their exposure to international markets. It reduces risks, makes things more simple. There is considerable consensus around the world that trade wars can backfire and support inefficiencies which eventually hurt consumers in the end. Trade barriers, which often remain scientifically unjustifiable but politically motivated, make economies weaker and less competitive over time. Duties may look like an attractive, simple mechanism to protect domestic interests, but they are a very expensive way to retain jobs in an economy. However, Canada doesn’t necessarily have an immaculate record either. Canada itself applies heavy duties on many imports, such as dairy products, poultry and eggs. These duties are embedded into our supply management regime which is considered by many as one of the most protectionist policies in the world.

In some cases, duties exceed 300 per cent. Most countries do enact duties on a variety of food products, but Canada goes even further by enabling and controlling domestic production with quotas. We are the only western economy still doing it. The awkwardness of asking trading partners for exemptions is clearly palpable. Yet what remains underappreciated is how intertwined our economies are. Duties in one sector will affect the ability of other sectors to trade. It is difficult, if not impossible to link steel and aluminum with dairy, poultry and/or eggs, but the connection is likely there. This could easily worsen, which spells trouble for an open economy like ours. Given our abundance of resources and knowledge, we have plenty to share. Almost 60 per cent of our economy is trade driven. Minister Mor neau essentially shortchanged Canadian taxpayers last week with his so-called budget. The government’s focus on equality would have been better served at another time instead of dealing with the noise and distraction that a national budget usually brings. We should not be shocked to see Ottawa being utterly unprepared for Washington’s wrath towards its trading partners. Upholding equity values for our country is undoubtedly noble, but the government could fall short on its social promises if it runs out of cash.

Can lab-grown meat feed — and save — the world? The true ‘yuck’ factor may be the modern face of meat production BY PAUL SHAPIRO Reuters

e always think of Winston Churchill facing histor yaltering decisions at a turning point in the Second World War. In fact, Churchill had been thinking about the future of humanity in rather radical ways for years already. In 1931, Churchill published an essay, Fifty Years Hence, in which he made predictions about what the world might look like by the 1980s. Among the more stunning: that humans would figure out how to permanently divorce meat production from animal husbandry. “ We s h a l l e s c a p e t h e absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing,” Churchill prophesied, “by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.” Because doing so would free up land that had been used for growing crops to feed farm animals, he concluded, “parks and gardens will cover our pastures and plowed fields.” Churchill was a few decades off, but we now have

the capacity to do exactly as he foresaw: to grow real meat outside of animals’ bodies. In recent years, so-called “clean meat” — a term first popularized by the non-profit Good Food Institute as a nod to both “clean energy” and to the meat’s food safety benefits — has moved out of the realm of science fiction and become scientific fact. The first “clean burger” debuted in 2013, thanks in part to research and development funding from Google cofounder Sergey Brin. Since 2014, I’ve had the good fortune to eat clean beef, duck, fish, chorizo, liver, and yogurt, all of it grown without animals. (Perhaps unsurprisingly, clean meat tastes like meat since, well, that’s exactly what it is.) And I’m not the only one interested. These products are starting to get serious attention from traditional meat processors, with agribusiness giants Tyson and Cargill investing in Memphis Meats, a clean meat startup based in San Leandro. “It’s not a threat to us, it’s an opportunity,” Sonya McCullum Roberts, president of growth ventures at Cargill, recently told Fortune magazine.

To be clear, the clean meat that Churchill envisioned, and that companies like Memphis Meats are beginning to produce, isn’t simply an alternative to meat. It’s actual animal muscle tissue, produced without the living, conscious animal. Rather than raising chickens or pigs to slaughter and sell as cuts of meat, clean meat producers take microscopic animal cells, put them in a cultivator so they behave as they do in the body, and feed them so that they grow into muscle tissue just like the meat we eat today. Why would we want to do as Churchill suggested and start producing real meat without animals? Well, for starters, because raising farm animals takes vast resources. To put the problem in perspective, imagine walking through the poultry aisle of your local supermarket. For each whole chicken you see, envision more than 1,000 single-gallon jugs of water sitting next to it. Then imagine systematically, one by one, twisting the cap off each jug and pouring them all out. That’s about how much water it takes to bring a single chicken from shell to shelf.

In other words, you can save more water by skipping one family chicken dinner than by skipping six months of showers. Growing only the meat we want won’t require all the resources needed to produce entire animals. A 2011 study by Oxford University researcher Hanna Tuomisto estimated that clean beef production could require 99 per cent less land and 96 per cent less water while producing 96 per cent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional beef production. Su c h e a r l y s t u d i e s a re admittedly imprecise, since the technologies that will make clean meat commercially viable are still under development. But most analysts believe that even largesc a l e p ro d u c t i o n o f l a b cultured meat is likely to be far more resource efficient than traditional livestock production. Churchill’s vision of widely available synthetic meat isn’t yet a reality, but it’s likely a matter of years now, not decades. Those who worry that Churchill’s vision of meat without animals is “unnat-

ural” may find it helpful to recall just how unsustainable, inhumane, and unnatural contemporary meat production has become. Clean meat probably won’t be competing for market share against meat from pasture-raised animals. Rather, clean meat enthusiasts seek to displace the farm animals providing the vast majority of the meat we eat today: animals that never set foot outdoors, and are forced to consume large quantities of antibiotics and other drugs. If we pause to contemplate this harsh reality, the promise of clean meat seems obvious. Churchill had a lot on his plate when he became prime minister. Yet his predictions about the contents of our plates may have even greater relevance today, as we search for ways to reduce the harm we’re doing to the only planet we have. Clean meat may soon prove to be part of the solution. Paul Shapiro is the author of Clean Meat: How Growing Meat Without Animals Will Revolutionize Dinner and the World.

at Hathaway was demolished and another former UGG site at Killarney came down in September. The Central Grain facility on Archibald Street in Winnipeg was also demolished last summer. A Manitoba historian with an avid interest in country grain elevators, and keeping tabs on the condition of those that remain, says it’s likely just a matter of time before a lot more are gone. Gordon Goldsborough — who supplies the photos for this newspaper’s ‘This Old Elevator’ series — now counts just 133 wooden elevators still standing in Manitoba. He has been assessing the condition of these remaining sites with information provided by readers and during his own visits and travels in rural Manitoba. It looks to him right now as many as 40 per cent of those last standing sites are no longer in use, Goldsborough said. “What that says to me is there is a very large number of elevators that are probably not long for this world.” G o l d s b o ro u g h’s c o n t a c t s with municipal officials and landowners, plus notifications through social media, help him keep abreast of which ones are next due for demolition. He’d hoped to get to Birch

River to document the deconstruction, but word came too late, he said. “I was hoping to get up there and see it happen.” He visited the Clanwilliam site last summer to take photos and it was obvious its days were numbered, he said.

“What that says to me is there is a very large number of elevators that are probably not long for this world.” Gordon Goldsborough Manitoba historian

“The Clanwilliam site was in pretty rough shape,” he said. “It had been thoroughly vandalized and there was pigeon poop all over the place. It was pretty obvious it had not been maintained for quite a long time.” Goldsborough has set up an online site ‘Manitoba Elevator Countdown’ where these last 133 elevator sites are mapped and hopes people will look at it and contact him with updates on sites, including more pending demolitions. He won’t be surprised to learn there’s fewer than 133 left, he said. “By publicizing this list I’m sure there’ll be someone who will say, ‘you’ve missed one,’ and I’ll find out about another that’s come down.” Goldsborough arrived at his 40 per cent abandonment figure after determining about 50 per cent remains still actively used as grain storage facilities. Another 32 per cent was “obviously abandoned,” he said. “The remaining percentage I couldn’t tell.” lorraine@fbcpublishing.com last ones standing The Manitoba Elevator Countdown link is found on the Manitoba Historical Society website at: www.mhs.mb.ca/countdown

Asia trade deal signed, ratification next hurdle Parliament must now approve the pact as the next step towards implementation BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

he Comprehensive and Progressive TransPacific Par tnership has been signed but it still f a c e s a l o n g r o a d t ow a rd implementation. Trade Minister FrancoisPhilippe Champagne hedged when asked how quickly the g ov e r n m e n t w i l l m ov e t o achieve parliamentary ratification of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Speaking to reporters after signing the deal in Santiago, Chile, he said he didn’t want to speculate about the timing issue. “We have to be respectful of Parliament; we’ll expedite it as quickly as possible,” he said. A wide array of agri-food groups have urged fast action on introduction of legislation

to ratify the free trade deal with 10 Pacific countries. Before he returns to Canada, Champagne will attend a meeting intended to launch negotiations on a free trade deal with the four Mercosur countries in Latin America — Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. “There’s never been a better time to diversify our trading relationships,” he said. However, given Canada’s contentious relationship with Brazil, no one expects an early agreement in these talks. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, the Canadian Pork Council and the Canadian Agr i-Food Trade Alliance have all urged quick implementation of the CPTPP to ensure Canada receives full access to the Japanese market. Leah Olson, president of the Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada, said her organization also supports Canadian partici-

“There’s never been a better time to diversify our trading relationships.”

pation in the CPTPP because it will help diversify the industry. Champagne said the CPTPP countries have a population of 495 million which in combination with the European trade partnership gives Canada better access to 1.7 billion consumers. The government will have to introduce legislation in Parliament to ratify the CPTPP. With probably 10 weeks of sittings before the summer break, it could easily take until the fall to secure p a s s a g e i n t h e Co m m o n s. That could push Senate approval into 2019. The deal

won’t come into force until 60 days have passed after it has been ratified by six signatory countries. CAFTA and the other agri-food groups are pushing for Canada to be among the first wave of countries. CAFTA sent a delegation to Chile for the CPTPP signing ceremony. President Brian Innes said, “Securing preferential access to Japan is especially important, since it is the thirdlargest market for Canadian agriculture and agri-food products, accounting for $4 billion in exports in 2016. Getting this agreement in place will go a long way towards meeting the

government’s ambitious goal of $75 billion in agri-food exports by 2025.” The government says the deal could provide a $4.2-billion boost to Canada’s GDP over the long term. In addition, Canadian exporters are set to realize tariff savings of $428 million, $338 million on exports to Japan alone. CAFTA is also highlighting a provision in Budget 2018, which allocated $75 million over five years to increase the number of Canadian diplomats and trade commissioners in Asia as well trade discussions with the Pacific Alliance, Mercosur and ASEAN. Participating in the CPTPP will give Canada a competitive advantage over the U.S. in these markets. It also levels the playing field for Canadian agri-food exports with other CPTPP countries – like Australia - that already have free trade agreements with Japan, Innes said.

The Manitoba Co-operator | March 15, 2018

Farmers contributed 44 per cent of the $8.8 million in core funding followed by exporters and crushers at 26 and 23 per cent, respectively. The council ended 2017 with a $1.3-million surplus. While it’s legitimate to review the council’s role, Everson stressed the industry needs to consider its role in “amplifying” the results of the council’s canola research and agronomy work.

CANOLA Continued from page 1

The nod came when council president Jim Everson announced the council is reviewing its priorities. Richardson, Canada’s largest grain company, stunned the nation’s agricultural industry late last year when it didn’t renew its membership in the Canola Council of Canada, the Flax Council of Canada and Soy Canada. The move saves Richardson more than a million dollars a year, Jean-Marc Ruest, Richardson’s senior vice-president of corporate affairs and general counsel, said in an interview Jan. 17. Most of the money went to the canola council, based on a levy of 23 cents a tonne paid by exporting grain companies, like Richardson, as well as Canadian canola crushers and farmers selling canola. After a year of negotiations Richardson pulled the plug after it failed to convince the councils to save money by merging. Richardson also questions the canola council’s focus on market development and agronomy, as well as its funding formula and level of spending.

“But in 2017 the industry faced some challenges when it comes to the industry consensus on the role and priorities of the canola council of itself.”

Jim Everson

In his address to the canola council’s annual meeting, which was open to the public for the first time in years, or perhaps ever, Everson left “governance” to last. He started with the positives, including a record harvested area of 22.9 million acres and record production of 21.3 million tonnes in 2017. “For the first time ever, more acres were seeded to canola than to any other crop (in Canada),” he said. Long-reigning King Wheat, at 22.2 million harvested acres, according to Statistics Canada, was usurped by Canada’s Cinderella crop. Canola, long the West’s highest gross revenue crop, had the most acres last year. The council’s ‘Keep it Coming’ goal of 22 million acres of canola, averaging 52 bushels an acre by 2025, will be achieved, Everson said. Last year’s acreage exceeded the 2025 target and production was just 4.1 million short of the 26-million-tonne goal. Canola’s success is the result of its “unique to Canada” consensus decision-making, value chain approach, Everson said. “Most other commodity associations in Canada to this day are still trying to emulate the success of canola in this regard,” he said. Then Everson addressed the elephant: “But in 2017 the industry faced some challenges when it comes to the industry consensus on the role and priorities of the canola council itself.” “Some important issues raised by members,” included: • Can the council fulfil strategic objectives more efficiently through partnerships with other oilseed associations? • What should the council’s role be in market development, research

co-ordination, market access, agronomic knowledge transfer, relative to its members and partners? • What resources are required to deliver superior service to the industry and how should those resource requirements be collected? These are “legitimate and important questions… driven by a rapidly changing, commercial environment,” he added. In response five task forces, each chaired by a director, have been set up as follows: • Market access and government advocacy will ensure market access and government affairs priorities are in line with the council’s strategy and advise on external partnerships in achieving objectives. • Market development will establish a consensus on the council’s role and priorities in market development, including areas and activities, level of investment, long-term strategic direction, measuring success and seek opportunities for collaboration with companies, grower associations and other commodity groups. • Crop production and innovation will review and understand member company/organization goals and issues in agronomy services and research. Advise on priorities for the council’s crop production mandate and focus on strategic issues. • Industry leadership is tasked with exploring the council’s role in leading canola sector activities and its role in Canadian agriculture. How can the council help shape the environment for a successful industry, best collaborate with others and secure opportunities that position canola for future growth? • Finance will review funding models and make a recommendation to the board. “The outcome will shape the outcome of the council’s priorities and plan for 2019 and beyond to ensure that they fully align with changing industry needs,” Everson told the meeting. Will Richardson return? “What I am absolutely sure it’s going to be effective of is making sure that we have a strong consensus and alignment among the present funders and directors of our board representing industry,” Everson said. “Then companies and other groups who may, or may not want to be part of our association can make a decision.”

out having a big impact. It’s not easy to do those things.” Asked if there will be staff layoffs, Everson replied: “We are finding efficiencies a little bit with our staffing.” In a text later Everson added: “We have reduced staff at CCC with layoff (sic) and have taken advantage of a couple of retirements and departures to consolidate positions for greater efficiencies. No further changes are planned at this time.” Everson didn’t immediately respond to a text asking how many employees were laid off and when. The council spent $15.3 million in 2017. It collected $16.6 million in revenue — $8.8 million from the core funders and $7.8 million from grants and government projects.

While Richardson suggests the council’s agronomy efforts duplicate those of Richardson and other companies, many farmers disagree, including Canadian Canola Growers Association president and Winkler farmer Jack Froese. “We as farmers we see this need,” he said on the sideline of the meeting. “We see the independence of the agronomy team on the canola council. They’re not selling any product. They are also looking at what the market is going to demand and to make sure that those needs are going to be met.” Losing its largest member arguably weakens the value chain. But there’s also an expectation Richardson will return to the fold. “I think cooler heads will prevail,” Froese said. “It may take some time, but... I think we will move forward and possibly even be better as a result of what has happened.” Richardson didn’t immediately

A big loss Richardson’s withdrawal was a financial and philosophical blow to the canola council. The combined loss of Richardson’s contribution and the fee reduction it triggered for remaining members resulted in a 32 per cent drop in the council’s planned 2018 spending, Everson said. “We did that carefully,” he told reporters. “We tried to ensure that we were maintaining areas where we had high, high priority in looking at areas where we could probably reduce in the short term with57770_2_DAS_Paradigm_2018_Time_NoEB_G4A_13-16x9_a2.indd 1

respond to an email seeking comment. If Richardson’s absence is an existential threat to the council neither Everson’s nor board of directors chair David Dzisiak’s comments or demeanour showed it. The council’s future rests with its members, they said. “Let’s do this review, let’s come to a consensus with those who are around the table today on what we need to do to grow the industry in the future and then those who want to be part of our value chain… will invest in the new organization, and those who decide not to do so, won’t,” Everson told reporters. Dzisiak had a similar message. “We had a great meeting last September,” he said. “We went around and talked about what’s most important... and there was a unanimous vote by the board that we want to have a canola council, that we want to have it dedicated at canola and we’re going to restructure things. But there were some things that the rest of the companies and the growers and the board of directors didn’t want to have changed. Every company has their opinion and their view and they make their own decisions, but we’ve got unanimity around the board about what we want the canola council to be.” The council wants feedback on its review efforts.

n hindsight the Canola Council of Canada might have been able to do more to address Richardson International’s concerns with the rising cost of council membership, council chair David Dzisiak told reporters March 8. Dzisiak told reporters following the council’s annual general meeting that an agriculture sector downturn has everyone looking harder at the bottom line, which is likely what precipitated the decision from Richardson not to renew its membership. “I think in hindsight we should have been saying, ‘OK, this is the path we’re seeing so we need to have a discussion.’ But our finance committee is chaired and led by industry members, so it’s self-inflicted. We’re responsible for this organization. You can always do things better in hindsight, but going through it everyone’s pretty happy and enthusiastic about the path we’re on...” The canola council is run by a board of directors, representing members, not staff, Dzisiak added. Both Dzisiak and council president Jim Everson agreed the council’s revenues, largely tied to canola sales by farmers, exports and crushing, have risen rapidly in tandem with increased canola production. “I don’t think anybody ever imagined that we would be at a 20-million- or 22-milliontonne crop,” Dzisiak said. “I’ve been with the board for 15 years and we started hitting about 15 million tonnes and 15 million acres, but we’ve blown past that. We’re 50 per cent larger than that. “So the more we grew the more we sold, the more we processed, the more our members paid. One thing that we didn’t do that we should have done, was sort of step back and say, ‘OK, do we need to spend everything that volume (of canola) generates?’” Those questions are being asked now as the council reviews its priorities, he said. Some farmers also question the council’s tradition of holding some conventions in the southern United States in early March. This year’s was at the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa just outside Palm Springs, Calif. “So remind me why the Canola Council of ‘Canada’ is holding its AGM in the U.S.?” one Manitoba farmer posted on Facebook last week. “Defies logic and portrays really bad optics.” California is one of the big-

gest markets for Canadian canola meal, Everson told reporters. “We do think there’s value to being in those locations where our markets are,” he said. “The other element is it’s all about bringing the canola family together and letting it network and having it network in a place that is comfortable and enjoyable so it’s part of what we think about too. “It’s a great place to have a convention this year.” Several attendees said they wouldn’t be surprised if more future council meetings are held in Canada. Several convention speakers said they were happy the meeting was in Indian Wells where daily high temperature hit 27 and 29 C March 7 and 8, respectively, instead of Winnipeg.

“I think in hindsight we should have been saying, ‘OK, this is the path we’re seeing so we need to have a discussion.’” David Dzisiak

Several attendees added a holiday either before or after the conference. One hundred and fifty-six people were registered for the two-day meeting. The biggest group — 41 — was from the three provincial canola grower associations and the Canadian Canola Growers Association. Most were farmers, along with some association employees. Thirty registrants were with pesticide and/or seed companies. Fewer than a dozen registrants self-identified as farmers, not including those with canola grower associations. Despite the council’s governance issues, Everson and Dzisiak were upbeat about the council and canola industry. “We’ve got a tremendous opportunity as an industry like none that I’ve ever seen in my life,” Dzisiak told reporters. Last year canola generated $26.7 billion for the Canadian economy. It’s headed for $35 billion, he added. “The full potential of canola for farmers and industry... is still out there on the horizon,” Everson told the meeting. “I don’t think we’re anywhere close to the benefit that we’re going to be able to get from the canola industry as we continue to grow.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

he late-winter snowstorm which hit Western Canada the first weekend in March caused auction marts across Manitoba to cancel

sales. “I don’t think anybody sold anything until (Thursday). We had no cattle at all, either sale. And Brandon had no cattle, Killarney had no cattle,” said Robin Hill of Heartland Livestock Services at Virden. Of the province’s eight major auction marts, five were forced to cancel sales due to the snowstorm which blew through the province on March 4-5. The remaining three auction marts’ sale days were later in the week, after the storm had passed. “We were open all day on Tuesday to receive cattle and never had an animal delivered. But I think everybody was pushing snow and cleaning out,” Hill said. He expected there to be a larger run this week to make up for the cancelled sale. There were 3,220 head of cattle sold through Ashern Auction Mart, Ste. Rose Auction Mart and Winnipeg Livestock Sales for the week ended March 9. Prices for 800- to 900-lb. steers ran from $155 to $176 per hundredweight (cwt). Heifers the same weight sold from $135 to $164/cwt. On the slaughter market, heiferettes sold for $100-$141/ cwt. Across Western Canada, feeder cattle are sticking around $160/cwt, according to Brian Perillat, manager and senior analyst at Canfax. “Feedlots (are) still making a little bit of money at this level and our prices are basically still higher than the U.S.,” he said. “So we have a very strong basis here, which is positive.” Feedlots in Alberta are pretty full following a strong fall run, with rising feed grain costs starting

to weigh on them. Feed barley at Lethbridge feedlots has rallied to the $5- to $5.15-per-bushel range while feed wheat is around $6.50 per bushel. The U.S. futures markets have also been struggling, which could lead to problems later this year. “If we look into the summer, there’s maybe a little bit of concern for some of these feeder cattle that are going to hit that summer market. It doesn’t look like a lot of profit potential in them,” Perillat said. At market close on March 9, Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle futures hit a seven-week low. The April contract closed 1.2 U.S. cents lower, to 121.775 U.S. cents/lb., while the June contract dropped 1.55 U.S. cents, to 113.275 U.S. cents/lb. Over the last week the Canadian dollar has trended lower against its U.S. counterpart, hanging around the 77-cent mark due to economic uncertainty following U.S. President Donald Trump’s planned tariffs on steel and aluminum. Usually a weaker dollar is good for the Canadian cattle market and causes a bounce in the market, but that isn’t the case this time, Perillat said. “It certainly may be helping keep our fed cattle prices steady… (but) the market isn’t going up by any means due to a drop in dollar.” Ashley Robinson writes for Commodity News Service Canada, a Winnipeg company specializing in grain and commodity market reporting.

McDonald’s said Mar. 6 that it had begun serving fresh beef Quarter Pounders and other premium burgers at about 3,500 restaurants in the United States. The fresh beef expansion comes as McDonald’s is improving food quality and increasing menu variety to counter competition.

And so we just had to spend a lot of time really making sure that as we were cooking only when someone ordered, we’d figured out a way to do it that wasn’t going to slow down service time,” he said. Fresh beef Quarter Pounders and premium “signature crafted” burgers are now available in restaurants in Miami, Orlando and Nashville. Over the next month, the rollout will add Los Angeles, Houston and San Francisco. Chief executive Steve Easterbrook has made many changes since taking the helm three years ago, including eliminating artificial preservatives from t h e c o m p a n y ’s p o p u l a r McNuggets and slimming down its Happy Meal menus for children.

McDonald’s U.S president Chris Kempczinski called the switch to fresh beef Quarter Pounders the most significant change to restaurant operations since the company began offering allday breakfast in 2015. The project has required changes by kitchen crews and suppliers. “Our suppliers have invested about US$60 million updating their supply chain to be able to make this conversion from frozen to fresh,” Kempczinski told reporters. Franchisees were initially concerned about what cooking madeto-order burgers would do to service time, he later told Reuters. “If it slows down the drivethru, that’s the critical part

A dump of snow over the Prairies also put prices in flux DAVE SIMS CNSC

anola contracts on the ICE Futures Canada platform soared to their highest levels in months during the week ended March 9, but ultimately fell back to earth after the U.S. Department of Agriculture hiked its estimate for U.S. ending stocks of soybeans. The agency pegged the carry-out at 555 million bushels, about 25 million bushels more than the previous forecast. Exports in the U.S. also decreased by 35 million bushels to 2.065 billion, which exacerbated the ending stocks situation. Not all the news was bearish, though, as USDA lowered its estimate for Argentina’s soybean crop to 47 million tonnes, well down from the previous estimate of 54 million. However, it wasn’t enough to outweigh the fallout from the carry-out situation. The weather in Western Canada sent prices fluctuating early in the week as a low front from the northern U.S. moved into southern portions of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and left sizable dumps of snow. This temporarily halted farmer selling for a day or two as many farmers were forced to wait for better road conditions. Soon the roads were cleared, though, and the selling continued, which dragged on values. Other factors that helped undermine prices included poor export demand. There are also ideas that the canola carry-out could hit 2.5

million tonnes, about half a million tonnes higher than what most analysts were expecting in the latter part of 2017. The moisture situation in Western Canada is also looking much better after the precipitation. Before the snow fell many areas of Saskatchewan and Alberta had virtually no ground cover. The dominant May contract ended the week at $514.90 a tonne, roughly $13 lower than the March 2 close. There had been ideas that bargain hunters might swoop in at the last minute and buy up some futures before the weekend, but uncertainty in the market discouraged any rallies. In the U.S. it was a volatile week for soybeans as the USDA report sent futures reeling. The front-month May contract had been lingering near the US$10.75 mark but found itself under US$10.40 by Friday’s close. Corn futures chalked up gains during the week, taking support from the USDA report, which lowered the production estimate for Argentina’s crop. The agency pegged the crop at 36 million tonnes, which compares with last year’s figure of 41 million. It also lowered the number for U.S. ending stocks. Chicago wheat fell below the US$5/bu. mark in the May contract, weighed down by growing U.S. ending stocks and increasing Russian exports. Some precipitation fell on the U.S. Plains during the early portion of the week but it wasn’t enough to put a dent in the dryness concerns permeating the region.

Canadian wheat bids track U.S. futures lower The Canadian dollar climbed by about a quarter of a cent on the week BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN CNS Canada

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada moved lower during the week ended March 9, as losses in U.S. futures and a firmer tone in the Canadian dollar weighed on values. Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS, 13.5 per cent protein) wheat prices were down by $1-$2 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 $236 per tonne in southeastern Saskatchewan to as high as $251 in northern Alberta. Quoted basis levels varied from location to location and ranged from $8 to $23 per tonne above the

futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollar-denominated futures and Canadian dollar cash bids. When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$184 to US$195 per tonne, which was steady on a U.S. dollar basis on the week. That would put the cur-

rency-adjusted basis levels at about US$33-$44 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 $42 to $56 below the futures. Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were down by $5-$6 per tonne, with prices ranging from $206 to $224 per tonne.

The May spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts are based, was quoted March 9 at US$6.175 per bushel, down by 2.75 U.S. cents from the previous week. Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada.

Your facilities don’t have to be fancy to be good Certification for sustainable beef requires having proper handling facilities, but most ranches have those By JILL BURKHARDT FBC contributor

hinking of producing certified sustainable beef, but worried your cattle-handling equipment is not up to standards? Don’t fret. “At entry level, if you have cattle it’s pretty hard not to have facilities that are working,” said rancher Stephen Hughes. The third-generation Longview, Alta. rancher has been par t of the Cer tified Sustainable Beef Production (CRSB) initiative right from the start. A 2003 winner of Alberta Beef Producers’ annual award for environmental leadership, Hughes was quick to sign up for McDonald’s sustainable beef pilot, the forerunner of the new Canadian sustainable beef program. “It’s something I’m pretty proud of,” said Hughes, adding most producers who have participated have found i t’s n o t h a rd t o m e e t t h e standards. “If you are of the mindset to be involved in CRSB as a means of promoting our industry, you are likely doing most things correctly already,” he said. “It’s to get e v e r y b o d y m ov i n g i n t h e direction of best practices to instil consumer confidence.” The part of the program for producers is called the Sustainable Beef Production St a n d a rd ( t h e re’s o n e f o r processing, too) and it outlines the requirements for certification. The system uses an “outcomes-based” approach — which means there’s a variety of ways to achieve specific standards. When it comes to handling facilities, the goal is to have “facilities that are conducive to normal cattle behaviour in feeding pens and pastures, a c c e s s t o f e e d a n d w a t e r, and that appropriate facilities and practices are used to minimize animal stress,” said Andrea White, the community engagement manager for the CRSB program.

How it works The program uses ‘indicators’ to measure progress towards goals and certification requirements. For example, one of the indicators for cattle facilities is: “Unnecessary Animal Stress is Minimized.” Obtaining a score of 1 (also called the ‘achievement’ or basic level) requires a producer to meet the requirement set out in the Beef Code of Practice, namely having “access to equipment or facil-

Don’t be intimidated by the certification process for producing sustainable beef — you’re likely mostly there and any needed upgrades will benefit both your ranch and the beef sector, says Stephen Hughes. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

“It’s like, ‘I have good facilities, but now somebody is saying so.’ So the consumer can feel good about how my cattle are handled and they are low stress.” Stephen Hughes

ities for the safe handling, restraint, treatment, segregation, loading, and unloading of cattle. Provide traction in handling areas to minimize cattle slips and falls.” Complying with these sorts of standards isn’t onerous, said Hughes. “These terms should be nothing to be afraid of,” he said. “It is expected that most beef producers are already fulfilling the majority, if not all, of the requirements (of the standards),” added White. “It is not anticipated that significant upgrades will be necessary for those producers already following the Beef Code of Practice.” The handling syst e m H u g h e s e m p l oy s o n Chinook Ranch is fairly typi-

cal of most operations. He doesn’t have a crowding tub or a hydraulic squeeze chute, but when it comes to working cattle through it, he said it works quite well. On the other hand, if your facilities are rundown; are difficult for cattle to move through or cause them stress; or create hazards for people, then it’s time to conside sr an upgrade, he said. “It’s for your own benefit and the benefit of the industry at large,” said Hughes. “It’s encouragement. If you want to get this indicator area into current practices, this is what you are going to need to do.”

‘Part of the job’ If you need to upgrade, there’s no rules spelling out exactly

what you have to do — again, it’s the end result, not the path you take to get there. “How certification is achieved will depend on the operation,” said White. The CRSB standard is not prescriptive in terms of how the facilities need to be designed. There is not one standard type and design of handling system a producer has to own. “I f t h e p r o d u c e r i s n o t meeting the outcome, then they need to make the adjustments and show the certification body before they can get certified.” How e v e r, c e r t i f i e r s w i l l typically request certain corrective actions and ask for a timeline so they can complete the certification process.

This approach doesn’t just apply to how you raise cattle, it’s also about building trust with consumers, said Hughes. “It’s like, ‘I have good facilities, but now somebody is saying so,’” he said. “So the consumer can feel good about how my cattle are handled and they are low stress. “It’s positive suggestions to move you forward. It isn’t a demand because it’s not being forced on you.” The indicators for good cattle-handling facilities are very logical, he added. The process was quick and his facilities hit the achievement level or better for all the indicators. There were some other parts of his operation that required a few improvements, but best practices are nothing to be concerned about, said Hughes. “This is part of our job now,” he said. “It’s marketing. It’s marketing what we do right and what we do well. That’s how I look at it and why I’m happy to be involved.” To find out more about the standards and how to prepare for certification, go to www. crsbcertifiedsustainablebeef. ca and click on the Resources pull-down menu.

hen it comes to working cattle there’s more to just ‘running them through the chute.’ B e i n g p re p a re d f o r t h e day can also make things go smoother for both the operators and the cattle. Focusing on “just the basic repairs and maintenance” can make all the difference, said Peggy Johnson, a former rancher and 2W Livestock Equipment dealer from Fairview, Alta. While it may seem obvious, keeping the handling facility properly maintained makes working cattle through it easier. Johnson’s checklist starts with “greasing everything and making sure all the slider doors are working (and) checking for frayed ropes.” In addition to the slider doors, make sure all the latches and moving parts on your chute are working properly. This way if you get an animal that is smaller or larger than average, it’s easy to adjust the chute accordingly. “And make sure the manure is cleared out,” added Johnson. Manure can literally plug up the system and also freeze in place in the wintertime and cause mechanisms on the chute and in alleyways to not function properly. Too much manure can also cause alleyways and squeeze chute bases to be slippery. Before working cattle, Johnson always walked through her corral system. “We just walk through and make sure all the gates leading up to the crowding tub and alleyway are cleared and working.” This also helps you see what the cattle see. New animals in your herd or ones that haven’t been through a handling system may stop moving if they spot a jacket flapping on a gate adjacent to the chute or a rope that is dangling in the alleyway. Also check on gates that are supposed to be latched to keep cattle out of an area. Both the weather and time of day can impact on how well the cattle move through both the handling system and corral area. “In summer, you want to handle them early,” said Johnson, as avoiding the heat of the day keeps from stressing out the animals. In the winter, the afternoon presents a different problem. “If it’s a bright, sunny day, the shadows are definitely going to affect (the animals).” This can cause cattle to not want to move down alleyways smoothly or enter the squeeze chute. Many ranchers, including Johnson, plan days or weeks ahead based on when they can get extra help. Of course, Mother Nature may not be cooperative, so having a backup

or alternate day is a good idea. This is also helpful if cattle require topical treatments, such as a pour-on, as many brands advise not using them if rain is expected within a specific time frame. If you get outside help, people management is something else that needs to be taken into consideration. “If you do have somebody else there, then No. 1, you need to know if they know anything about cattle,” said Johnson, who gave an example from her ranch. One of the people she hired knew how to run a squeeze chute. “I still think back to that day. Everything went so quick because he knew exactly what to do and how to handle cattle.” However, on that same day, she had some help who wasn’t so savvy around cattle. “We had to really, really watch him because we were afraid he was going to get kicked, or ran over. He didn’t have a clue!” Even if your outside help is familiar with cattle and handling equipment, each brand is designed differently. It’s a good idea to go over how everything works, she said. For example, showing the chute operator how all the moving parts on your chute work. Once everyone arrives to help work the cattle, make sure everyone knows their specific job and match the right person to the right job, said Johnson, who gave the example of filling syringes. “If you don’t know how to do it, the wrong person could lose a lot of vaccine out on the ground.” Also take into consideration the temperament of cattle in your herd and how they act around outsiders. Some cattle may not mind having strangers around while others might see them as a threat. Having a game plan before the work begins will make the day go a lot smoother, she said, and so will paying attention to what’s happening once the day begins. The key is “just simply being aware,” she said.

he buyers were present but the sheep and goats were missing in action at the latest sale at Winnipeg Livestock Auction. At times it felt like walking the streets of a ghost town at the March 7 event, with just 69 animals continuing a trend towards low animal supply. A 125-pound Rideau-cross lamb represented the heavyweight class. This lamb brought $162.56 ($1.30/ lb.). The ringmaster became immediately aware, this lamb was going to control the ring, and his stay was short. No m a r k e t l a m b s w e re delivered. The demand for the feeder lambs was apparent from the strong bidding. The price ranged from $2.49 to $2.53/ lb., for weights ranging from 81 to 88 pounds. The exceptions were 11 92-pound Dorset-cross lambs which brought $2.02/lb. The bidding for the lightweight lambs dropped quickly. Buyers had little interest and seemingly it was too early for the Easter buying from the general public, giving buyers the upper hand in the ring.

Cattle prices are expected to be good this year — but not 2017 good There will be more beef on the market but a robust North American economy should keep demand strong BY JENNIFER BLAIR FBC staff

attle producers hit it out of the park in 2017 — but this year is going to be a completely different ball game. “Last year, we saw some pretty big home runs, and I don’t really anticipate that for this year,” said Brian Perillat, manager and senior analyst at Canfax. “Small wins might be all you get this year.” For most sectors of the cattle industry, 2017 was a year that exceeded expectations across the board, said Perillat. “Prices were better than expected, and pretty much every sector of the beef industry was profitable,” he said. And while market prices are still above where they were a year ago, cattle producers will need to temper their enthusiasm with realistic expectations as they head into spring. “I’m not sure we’ll see prices quite as high as last year. But 2016 was pretty disappointing, and we don’t anticipate a repeat of that.” R i g h t n o w, t h e N o r t h American cattle industry — particularly in the United States — is in expansion mode after nearly five years of flat numbers in the national herd, and that trend could continue over the next three years. And where the U.S. goes, Canada typically follows, so producers can expect to see more production this year. “I’m a little cautious as we head further into the year,” said Perillat. “We’re going to have more beef production to deal with, so we’re going to need a strong export and domestic market for 2018 to carry that momentum.” International demand could keep pace with that increased production as long as trade deals continue to move forward. The Trans-Pacific trade agreement, which is slated to be signed this month, will be critical, as will NAFTA, which is still up in the air.

“Last year, we saw some pretty big home runs, and I don’t really anticipate that for this year.” Brian Perillat Canfax

“We’re highly reliant on trade. We’re really going to need trade and international demand to step up,” said Perillat. “We’re very integrated with the U.S., so any kind of disruption to that would be negative. I don’t think the sky is going to fall. It’s just something we’ve got to be aware of.” Domestic demand for beef is also on the rise. Cattle are getting processed in a timely manner, said Perillat, and that helps market prices. Despite rising production, retail prices have remained strong, and with the strong economic outlook for 2018, domestic consumers should continue to purchase beef even with the higher prices. But beef will continue to face competition from pork and poultry, which are also expected to see record-large production numbers. Any price pressure from competing meats could drive down beef prices. “Beef demand is such a big driver, but it’s really hard to measure and anticipate,” said Perillat. “But demand has been good so far.” For the fed cattle and calf markets, basis levels have been “phenomenal,” and if that continues, the feedlot and calf sectors will profit. But that’s getting hard to predict, he cautioned, and if basis levels drop to historical levels, the calf market will suffer. For example, if the basis is $6 more than expected, calf prices jump up almost $15 more per hundredweight — and the inverse is also true. “For several weeks last year and to start this year, we were at a large premium to the United States, but we’ve seen that realign to where we’re near par right now,” said Perillat.

“Looking forward, that’s going to be a huge factor. I think we should have fairly strong basis levels, but whether or not we can maintain a premium will be the question.” A weaker Canadian dollar will also support cattle prices, he said. Since 2015, the Canadian dollar has generally been below 80 cents, and that’s helped the cattle industry over the past three years. But the dollar has been stronger than expected over the past six months, and if it rises over 80 cents, cattle prices will take a hit. “In the cow-calf sector, if you do some projections today, we could be around that $2 calf range, but depending on the dollar and different scenarios, it could be lower than that,” said Perillat. The weather — particularly droughts in the southern United States, Alberta, and Saskatchewan — also has a role to play. Over the past five years, U.S. herd expansion has been helped by good weather conditions and feed availability. That could change this year. “If we continue to see drought persist, we could see more cows go to slaughter than anticipated,” said Perillat. “That will weigh on the market — not only by increasing cattle supplies but by increasing feed costs.” So in order to stay profitable, keep a close eye on your margins, he advised. “Most of the successful guys pay close attention to the production side to get their cattle to perform and maximize efficiency,” he said. “It always comes down to some kind of risk management plan.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Email scam targets beef breeders Scammers pose as legitimate buyers, but then try to swindle breeders out of refund money before payments clear BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD

“They are under the disguise of real companies with real people, so if you Google or do a LinkedIn or something like that, you’re likely to find who they claim to be.”

Co-operator staff

anadian cattle breeders should be on their guard after reports of an online

scam. The Canadian Beef Breeds Council issued a warning after numerous producers reported fake emails looking to set up a sale, then requesting a refund before cheques clear. “It’s generally pretty high dollar values, so it gets the people excited that they’ve got a good lead,” Michael Latimer, Canadian Beef Breeds Council executive director, said. Scammers pose as real companies and company staff, the council warned. The scammers then send a fraudulent, but valid-looking, cheque and contact producers after the cheque is deposited, but before it clears, requesting a partial refund. “They expect that the producer would then wire transfer a portion of that money back to them and, of course, the original cheque doesn’t clear and (the producer) is out the money they’ve sent back,” Latimer said. Bruce Holmquist, Canadian Simmental Association general manager and one of the lead industry contacts on the issue, says at least half a dozen producers across Western Canada have reported the scam, but many more may have received fraudulent emails. “On the other side of things, it’s identity theft,” he said. “They are under the disguise of real companies with real people, so if you Google or do a LinkedIn or something like that, you’re likely to find who they claim to be.” The Canadian Beef Breeds Council has yet to hear of any commercial breeders impacted, although Latimer says many of Canada’s main breeds, including Simmental, Angus and Limousin, have been affected.

The scam has also been circulating longer than first thought, Latimer added. Reports have heated up in the last two weeks, although the council says it has now heard of producers receiving emails as far back as a year. Holmquist warned that scammers may frame the refund as miscommunication within a company, such as the company becoming inadvertently overbought. “If it looks too good to be true, it probably is,” he said. “Ask questions... if they don’t ask for things like birth weights on an animal or some kind of performance information, that ought to be a red flag too.” Holmquist reminded producers that a cheque may take up to 10 business days to clear even after it has been processed by the farmer’s bank. Latimer also advised due diligence on all transactions, both to avoid fraud and issues like late payments. “Don’t send money out if you haven’t received it or don’t release your cattle to people until you know you actually have the money in your bank account,” he said. Police have been contacted about the scam. astockford@farmmedia.com

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

Nice early-spring weather to continue Issued: Monday, March 12, 2018 · Covering: March 14 – March 21, 2018 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

ast week’s forecast played out fairly close to what weather models predicted, with a few minor exceptions. Western regions saw a little more cloud and occasional light snow last Wednesday and Thursday, while temperatures to start the week were a little cooler than forecast, thanks to a weak backdoor cold front that moved in from the northeast last Monday. For this forecast period, it looks like we’ll still see a bit of a warm-up to begin with as the area of high pressure that brought the sunny skies earlier this week slowly slides off to the southeast. Combine this with a digging area of low pressure to our west and this will result in mild air working its way northward, just edging into our region. Expect daytime highs Thursday and Friday to be in the +3 to +6 C range, with overnight lows around -10 C. The western low is then forecast to break into a couple of pieces, with the first part working toward the north and then west across the central and northern Prairies. This low will bring some clouds along with the chance

of showers or flurries overnight Friday and into Saturday. Weak high pressure is then forecast to build across the southern Prairies, bringing a return to sunshine and continued mild temperatures on Sunday. The second piece of energy from the western low is then forecast to develop into a Colorado low on Monday. Currently, it looks like the weak ridge of high pressure forecast to develop across our region will keep this low well to our south. So, we should expect sunny skies on Monday and Tuesday with maybe some high cirrus clouds working in across extreme southern regions. Seasonable temperatures are expected on Wednesday and Thursday as another area of low pressure begins to work its way inland from the Pacific. While this part of the forecast is a long way off, the current weather models show this low affecting our region late next week, bringing with #it a mixed bag of precipitation. Usual temperature range # for this period: Highs, -8 to +4 C; lows, -21 to -8 C.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell during the seven-day period ending March 8, catching the snowstorm that hit most of southern and central Manitoba along with a good part of central and eastern Saskatchewan. The heaviest precipitation fell in Saskatchewan, with some areas seeing over 40 mm. Across Manitoba, amounts were a little lighter, ranging from 10 to 30 mm.

March snowstorm bumps up snowpack

Compared to seasonal norms, Earth’s coldest spot last month was in northeastern Manitoba BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

lmost one year later to the day, southern and parts of central Manitoba in 2018 saw another significant early-spring snowstorm. There were two big differences between this year’s storm and last year’s. First, this year’s storm began with milder temperatures. These milder temperatures made for a heavier, wetter snowfall. Combine this with the second difference, lower wind speeds, and we didn’t get the huge drifting that some places saw last year. I haven’t been able to find the final official totals for this year’s storm, but the table here shows some of the unofficial totals for the 36-hour period ending on March 6. So, while it was a significant snowfall, it didn’t break any total snowstorm records, though many places did break records for the most snowfall recorded on March 5. Over the last week I listened to several farmers and different agricultural people arguing over whether we needed this snow. After listening to the different arguments, I think it all comes down to what kind of farming you are doing and what type of land/ soil you have. In my area, where the soil has a lot of clay, most of the farmers would rather have not seen any additional snow. The

quicker the fields dry, the better; it’s the May and June rains that are important. Other areas, where the soil is sandier and water quickly drains away, this extra moisture was fairly welcome. Another consideration is water retention; I know my small pond is at a record-low level coming into spring, and for the first time, I’m not sure if there will be enough meltwater run-off to fill the pond. There is still a lot of early spring left, so I think it is still a little early to start worrying about soil moisture issues (either too wet or too dry), quite yet. Talking about soil: I just returned from my yearly school ski trip to Assessippi, and as I was driving back I saw the new sign by Newdale proclaiming it to be the home of the official soil of Manitoba – well done, Newdale. I didn’t have time to stop, but maybe on my summer trip to Riding Mountain I will make the detour and check it out! On a different note, if you have been trying to contact me with questions or comments through

email and I haven’t got back to you, I’m not ignoring you. There seems to be a problem with my daniel@bezte.ca email account which is preventing me from getting some (the majority) of my emails. While I try to figure out what is going on, please feel free to use my other account: dbezte@ retsd.mb.ca. The greatest number of questions I have been asked over the last two to three weeks are about the long-range forecast for the rest of this spring. The current medium- to long-range forecast calls for mild weather for the next two weeks, followed by coolerthan-average temperatures for the end of March and lasting right through April. The models have been fairly persistent with this forecast, but there have been some hints over the last couple of model runs that this might change. I will keep a close eye on these forecasts and do a full overview in the next issue.

bal temperatures coming in, Manitoba hit the top weather news. According to the data from University of Alabama in Huntsville, which calculates global temperatures of the lower eight km of the atmosphere from satellite data, compared to seasonal norms, the coldest spot on the globe in February was in northeastern Manitoba, near the Caribou River Park Reserve up at the Nunavut border. Temperatures there were 5.95 C (about 10.71 F) cooler than sea-

sonal norms. Overall, the globe was still running warmer than average, with a mean global temperature that was 0.26 C above the 30-year average. The Northern Hemisphere was 0.46 C above average in February, while the Southern Hemisphere was 0.06 C above average. Across the tropics, temperatures were 0.26 C below average, which isn’t surprising given the cooler-than-average conditions created by the current La Niña episode occurring across the tropical Pacific. Finally, an unprecedented warm spell across a large area of the Arctic in late February brought record-breaking temperatures as far north as the North Pole. Temperatures across northern Greenland were as high as +6 C, with above-zero values being recorded for as many as six days in a row. These warm temperatures contributed, in part, to record-low Arctic sea ice coverage in February. February averaged 13.95 million square km, which is the lowest monthly average recorded for February. This was 1.35 million square km below the 1981 to 2010 average and 160,000 square km below the previous record-low monthly average in 2017. So, while we struggled with below-average temperatures in February, the Arctic continues to see what seems to be an endless stream of above-average temperatures.

and technologies for specific crop proteins where none exist on the Prairies at the present time.” That sort of effort would build on the already considerable investment in pulse fractionation — the process that separates out the protein, starch, and fibre from pulse seeds (primarily peas at present) to meet the growing demand for plant-based ingredients, said Alan Hall, new initiatives and project hunter with the Alberta Crop Industry Development Fund. “We’ve got five plants that are in various stages of being built on the Prairies as we speak, and that’s a fairly recent thing,” said Hall. He compares it to the canola industry, which started out exporting raw seed. But then the first crushing plant came online, then another, and then another. There are now 14 crush plants in Canada processing about 10 million tonnes of canola every year. The only difference with pulses is how quickly fractionation plants

I’m still in amazement that five plants are going in on the Prairies just focused on peas. “In the canola world, it probably took 15 years to get to five plants.” Hall credits this boom to the growing shift toward plant-based proteins in consumer diets. What was initially thought to be a shortterm fad has become a longerterm trend, with plant-based protein commanding a $13-billion market around the world. “The international markets are really starting to pick up on plant proteins as a viable source of protein in human food. It’s really catching fire,” said Hall, adding pulse consumption in Canada has gone up 30 per cent over the last three years. See dividends on page 18 »

other areas — sustainable production; improving protein quality and yield; and marketing — will split the remaining 40 per cent.) “It would be premature to point to very specific technologies until we have had time to work more closely with our stakeholders to arrive at decisions or conclusions on what fits best,” said Styles. “Starting later this year, we will be engaging our stakeholders more formally both as a group and individually to sort these questions out.” But very promising technology could make Canada a world leader in processing protein ingredients from pulses as well as from hemp, oats, and canola, he said. “It’s about both improving existing processing through the introduction of new technologies such as AI and machine learning, plus adding associated systems that address issues such as traceability,” said Styles. “We need to bring in new processing facilities

This AGT Foods and Ingredients facility in Gibbons, Alta. represents the current state of Western Canada’s pulse sector — which is largely about collecting the raw seed that will be cleaned, sorted, and exported. But the future lies in processing pulses for their protein, fibre, and starch, says Ron Styles, acting president of Protein Industries Canada.

“If you look at protein processing here in Western Canada, there’s not a lot, and what is there could be improved quite substantially.”

ritics are calling it “corporate welfare,” but the supporters of a protein supercluster say $150 million-plus in federal funding will turn pulses into the next canola. There’s never complete buy-in for this sort of government action, but projects like this typically aren’t possible without government funding, said Ron Styles, acting president of Protein Industries Canada. “You don’t find many places where these types of programs don’t have some form of government support,” said Styles. “These ventures are very, very risky, and private companies are looking for some sort of return. In the initial phases, they may not believe the return is there, so you need government participation.” The federal Liberal government announced last month it will give $950 million to five superclusters over the next five years. (The other four focus on artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, digital technology, and oceans-based industries.) That announcement was panned by some as a giveaway, with National Post columnist Andrew Coyne saying such schemes are based on the faulty assumption “that governments know better than private investors how and where to allocate capital,” and others criticizing the lack of detail on how the money will be spent. But Protein Industries Canada says it has already secured more than $400 million in matching private funding. And while the specifics — including exactly how much federal cash it will get — aren’t nailed down yet, Styles said his group expects that 60 per cent of the money will be used to improve processing technology.

Canola Growers kick-starts cash advance program Earlier applications, better service and lower costs on offer this year STAFF

“Many farmers take advantage of an intended seeded advance, which provides them with cash flow prior to planting.”

he Canadian Canola Growers Association is reminding farmers 2018-19 cash advance applications are now available. CCGA says it’s giving farmers a jump-start on spring with the group’s earliest-ever pre-application period and a reduced administration fee for its Advance Payments Program. “Many farmers take advantage of an intended seeded advance, which provides them with cash flow prior to planting,” Rick White, CEO of CCGA, said. “We’ve already had calls from many farmers anxious to get their cash advance paperwork finished so they can focus on spring work once conditions are suitable.”

D a v e G a l l a n t , C C G A’s director of operations who oversees the program, said the changes will serve farmers better. “By applying in March, farmers can have their

advance processed during our pre-application period, which means their advance c o u l d b e a p p r ov e d a n d advance funds available to them early in April,” Gallant said. CCGA will begin issuing advance funds to farmers on Tuesday, April 3. Re c e n t i n v e s t m e n t s by CCGA in new technology and process improvements will enable faster response

times and lower costs, White said. “( This has) allowed us to reduce our administration fee from $150 to $50 per application, while maintaining our high level of customer service,” he said in a media release. Through CCGA, farmers can access advances on 45 field crop and livestock commodities. Farmers can apply for a cash advance of

up to $100,000 interest free and an additional $300,000 at prime. Combined, that amounts to $400,000 at a b l e n d e d i n t e re s t r a t e o f below prime. Farmers wanting to apply for a cash advance can call CCGA’s Winnipeg office at 1-866-745-2256 to apply over the telephone. They can also d ow n l o a d a n a p p l i c a t i o n form from CCGA’s website. Fo r f a r m e r s w h o h a v e short-term financing needs, CCGA will continue pro cessing applications for the 2017-18 cash advance program through March. The final date CCGA can issue an advance under the current program is March 31, 2018, and the deadline for repayment on a 2017-18 grain advance is September 30, 2018.

This is simply one more avenue to do it. “We’re here to work with the industry to address some of those challenges and allow for these plants to develop in Western Canada.” That process will also involve other members of Protein Industries Canada — there are more than 120, including farm groups, universities, and other industry players. “We are going to have to work with the industry to sort out the specific types (of technologies) since a number are being worked on,” said Styles, adding that includes examining “the costs of that new technology as well as the specific technology that makes sense for the Prairies and even how that technology might need to be adapted.” These efforts will directly benefit farmers, he said. “If you can take some of these products, move them up the value chain, and use them in a way that adds value, that’s going to help your farmers and improve returns,” said Styles. “It makes all the sense in the world to do the processing here if the crops are here.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Organic speaker gives the breakdown on soil health management The first keynote speaker of the 2018 Prairie Organics conference in Brandon tuned the conversation to soil health BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD

“Initially, I think the livestock don’t start out as the most important principle, but someday they kind of end up as the most important principle.”

Co-operator staff

t’s time to stop thinking about soil piecemeal and take a more systems-based approach to soil health. That was the message from Jay Fuhrer of Bismark’s Natural Resources Conservation Service at the recent 2018 Prairie Organics conference in Brandon. One of three keynote speakers during the event in Brandon Feb. 23-24, Fuhrer earmarked five broad principles to building soil. Residue, or armour, is the farmer’s friend, he told the audience, adding that bare soil is at higher risk for erosion and compaction as water hits soil without vegetative matter to slow it down or roots to keep it from floating topsoil downstream. Fuhrer’s arguments against soil disturbance may have landed on less-than-fertile ground, however. Minimal soil disturbance has been a rallying cry for decades, and the rise of no till has been claimed as a good news story in most corners of agricultural conservation. It is a harder sell in the organic sector, however, where mechanical weed control is the main source of weed management. Regardless, Fuhrer is a strong advocate of avoiding tillage when possible, the room heard.

Fuhrer’s other lessons may be easier to swallow for organic producers. The speaker highlighted plant diversity, both above and below ground, continually green fields (often using cover crops during early or late periods when the field would otherwise be black) and the integration of livestock, an idea often been floated by industry groups, but that faces challenges as increasingly large, specialized farms may be reluctant to branch back out into livestock.

Mob grazing advocates argue that livestock might be shared, with a livestock producer taking advantage of a neighbour’s cropland while that neighbour reaps the benefits to the landscape. In practice, however, few cash crop growers have opted for a grazing agreement, Fuhrer acknowledged. The speaker noted neighbours must have a similar vision if grazing agreements are to be successful. “Usually, the livestock portion of it comes later,” he said.

“I’ve seen more working on the armour, getting some residue on the surface, working on diversity, working on lowering some disturbance, taking some disturbance out of the system. I’ve seen these as more of the starting principles for people.” That was the case with his work on the Menoken, North Dakota demonstration farm, he said, with cover crops and livestock becoming the last piece of the puzzle on his management plan. “Initially, I think the livestock don’t start out as the most important principle, but someday they kind of end up as the most important principle,” he said. Advocates of livestock integration argue that intense grazing, followed by rest, can encourage forage growth, add soil organic matter and benefit the land through the nutrients from livestock manure. Cover crops also had a spot in the backbone of Fuhrer’s argument, although Manitoba’s shortened growing seasons may have some producers questioning if

there is enough time to get anything out of a cover crop. “We have to recognize our environment,” Fuhrer said. “Our environment is winter, long winter, so that shortens up our season. We have longer days in the north than the south, but we have a shorter season and we have a cold, wet spring and we typically have a dry fall, and so what we’ve gone to more recently is some efforts in terms of establishing a fall biennial and so, even if it’s a monoculture, we’re using rye in a lot of these cropping systems.” The system is normally paired with a later-seeded crop, like soybeans, to maximize rye-growing window in the spring, he said. Fuhrer was the first, but not the last speaker of the 2018 conference to feature soil health. The speaker was followed by farmer testimony on many of the management practices he described, including reduced tillage and livestock integration. astockford@farmmedia.com

Don’t gamble on grain marketing Don’t play with risk, manage it for the good of your business BY RICHARD KAMCHEN Co-operator contributor

on’t be a gambler when it comes to marketing your grain, Brennan Turner, FarmLead president and CEO, urged farmers at this year’s CropConnect. “It seems like most farmers view their grain as casino chips and they don’t have too much rhyme or reason on which number on the roulette wheel that they place those chips on,” says Turner. “Put another way, a farmer often does not have a process to sell grain other than, ‘I needed some cash,’ or, ‘The price was pretty good.’” He says hedge fund managers are just like farmers in a number of ways in that they too must weigh numerous different variables, manage an operation with multiple people, and face many outside factors they can’t control.

The difference is the hedge fund manager better understands, respects and manages risk.

Risk management A risk manager with a crop to sell would think and act far differently than a typical gambler. The gambler, for instance, is more likely to hold out for $12-a-bushel canola and would resist selling at $11.50, even if prices over the previous few months had been under $11. A risk manager, however, would acknowledge the price premium and sell into strength, Turner says. “You have no idea what the market is going to do. A risk manager acknowledges this and manages their exposure to the market,” he says. They’ll weigh the upside potential versus downside risk, and decrease their price risk

exposure as the market reaches new heights as well as shows signs of more downside risks. “Just because you have lots of cash in the bank doesn’t mean you should stop managing your risk exposure of the grain in the bin/field,” Turner says.

“Just because you have lots of cash in the bank doesn’t mean you should stop managing your risk exposure of the grain in the bin/field.” Brennan Turner FarmLead

Don’t be myopic He encourages farmers to minimize their sense of loss aversion. “This is the bad feeling that one has when they didn’t sell anything and then the market went down, versus the feeling when you sell some grain and the price does go higher a few weeks/months later, but you still have more grain to sell at that higher price.” Turner also cautions against confirmation bias or your own echo chamber. All farmers desire the price of their grain to go up, and so when everyone else around them says it will, they

can become overwhelmingly biased that grain prices will indeed rise, even if there aren’t enough catalysts to make that happen. “How often is coffee row right about where grain prices go?”

A system to go by Besides understanding their cost of production, farmers also need to know what it is they have to sell, and Turner strongly encourages them to test their grain. They also should keep on top of news about the markets that affect their farm, explore their

marketplace options, and ask their potential buyers questions: what are the discount schedules, premiums and storage fees? He advises farmers to break their sales into 10 to 30 per cent blocks, and urges them to review their marketing plans every month of the growing season. “Farmers, in addition to the many other hats they wear, they’re also portfolio managers: they are literally acquiring assets (grain) for a cost, and then trying to sell them at a profit.”

Manitoba’s weight limits will run through May 31 in the southern regions and June 10 in the northern parts of agro-Manitoba CNSC

A massive winter storm may have blanketed much of the Prairies, but spring is imminent and seasonal road bans are coming into effect. The annual seasonal weight restrictions will further disrupt grain movement already struggling with rail service issues. In Manitoba, spring road bans begin today (March 15) in all agricultural regions of the province and will remain in place until May 31 in the south and until June 10 in the north, according to the most recent government order released March 5. The restrictions vary depending on the road, with Level 1 restrictions consisting of 90 per cent of normal loading and 65 per cent of normal on Level 2 affected roads. Full details are available through Manitoba’s Infrastructure Department online at https:// www.gov.mb.ca/mit/srr/index. html. The annual ‘road bans’ set axle weight limits for vehicles moving on certain roads in an effort to reduce the damage heavier loads can cause during the spring thaw period. Grain and equipment movement can both be affected by the spring road bans, as people may need to find alternate routes or haul smaller loads. The duration of the restrictions will depend on the local weather conditions, but typically last through April and into May. Official start dates for road bans in Saskatchewan and Alberta are not yet available online, but the weather-dependent restrictions typically begin in mid-March and run into May or June. Details are released through the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and the Alberta Ministry of Transportation.

Tight rotations in the hot seat

Rotations were a major point as discussions turned to blackleg during this year’s BASF Knowledge Harvest BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD

“The challenge really is that everybody is driven by short-term economics.”

Co-operator contributor

t’s all but impossible to eliminate sclerotinia and blackleg from the field, but it’s also a mistake to assume genetics alone will manage the problem. BASF technical service specialist Colleen Redlick said farmers need to broaden their approach during the BASF Knowledge Harvest in Brandon earlier this winter. Resistance breakdown, something the industry has noted with alarm, was near the top of the agenda during the one-day event.

Mixing strategies Redlick stressed crop scouting for disease management along with longer rotations, something echoed by RealAgriculture agronomist Peter Johnson, among other speakers of the day. The message is nothing new to producers, with experts ranging from university researchers and government-hired specialists to commodity group staff giving similar advice. Outside disease pressure, along with weed resistance and other pest management concerns, those same experts also point to yield. Planting a crop on top of itself will inevitably lead to a yield drag, they argue, while the right, diverse rotation can boost grain going into the bin. MASC data has provided ammunition for those arguments. Yield data from 2010-16 shows crops ranged from 79 to 93 per cent of expected yield if planted into the same crop’s stubble. Select crops can leapfrog expected yield if rotated in

the right order, the same data showed. Wheat showed 107 per cent of expected yield if following soybeans and 102 per cent following field peas or sunflower; barley got a boost following canola, soybeans, peas, flax or sunflowers, and soybeans benefited from following a crop of spring wheat or grain corn. The argument has not taken root with all farmers however, and the most common rotations remain tight as producers maximize acres of their most profitable crops. “The challenge really is that everybody is driven by shortterm economics,” Johnson said. “And they have to be, because if they don’t pay enough land rent, somebody will rent it away from them, so we get pushed into these short rotations because, if canola is the most profitable crop, then you grow too much canola. In Ontario, soybeans is the most profitable crop; you grow too many soybeans and it’s the age-old

problem, or challenge, of shortterm gain for long-term pain. I would argue that the disconnect here isn’t nearly as bad as it is in some other places because guys at least will recognize that they should rotate and will if they can economically afford to do it.” Johnson set the minimum ideal rotation at three years, although organic crops may require more than double that time to help break disease cycles and lessen resistance pressure.

Rotating varieties may also lessen the strain with a single crop, Redlick added. “A lot of growers get one that they really like on their farm and they want to continue to use that year after year. That’s just maybe not the best management strategy,” she said. “And then, of course, once you’ve identified that breakdown on your farm, that’s where that early fungicide application can help with your ROIs (returns on investment).”

New tools for blackleg Blackleg has reclaimed its place as a top concern in recent years, with producers noting that the resistant varieties they’ve come to rely on are, in some cases, no longer making the grade. According to data presented to the Western Committee for Plant Diseases (and repeated by Redlick), blackleg’s prevalence rates hit 63 per cent in Manitoba in 2017. At the same time, prevalence has generally risen since 2008 across the

Prairies, notwithstanding a brief dip from 2012-13 and despite the use of resistant varieties. The problem has prompted an ongoing quest for solutions. AAFC Saskatoon, for example, has unveiled new genetic labelling tools, something it says will let them target the exact strain of blackleg present in canola fields and allow producers to better select their varieties. Head researchers promoted their project at industry events last summer. Redlick said there’s potential in those emerging tests, but more hurdles to cross before farmers can fully take advantage. “I think that’s great,” she said. “The more information, the better. I think we still have a few caution flags there. It’s great to know the strain in your field, but then you also have to match that with the matching genetics, so we’re not quite there from the seed side.” astockford@farmmedia.com

Temperature can give insight on water mould risk in soybeans Soil temperature and disease pressure combine when targeting early-season water mould problems BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

eep an eye on the soil temperature this spring to gain some insight into soybean water mould risks. Michael Wunsch, a professor at North Dakota State University, says having some idea of where temperatures are and what the near-term weather may hold is key to understanding the issue. He was speaking at the recent 2018 BASF Knowledge Harvest. “It’s all soil temperatures that define your risk window and obviously farmers are always at the mercy of the weather, but if you look at the long-range forecast, usually the temperature range is not too far off,” he said. “Rainfall is always a wild card, but it gives you a ballpark for air temperature and, with practical experience, you should be able to get an idea of what you anticipate for soil temperatures in that next two-week window when you hope that your beans are going to be emerging.” Seed treatments for phytophthora may not be doing much during the average year in Manitoba, he warned. The researcher argued that phytophthora thrives in soil 15 C or above at seeding depth. For much of Manitoba, particularly as research examines earlier seeding dates, soil may not reach those temperatures through emergence, the period when Wunsch says seed treatment would be providing control. Instead, management strategies should centre on resistance when planting into cold soils, he said. That knowledge will have little impact on seed treatment, he added. While phytophthora might not be a concern below 15 C, the same active ingredients are also used against pythium, a water mould that thrives in colder soils. The Red River Valley is a prime habitat for that pathogen, Wunsch warned, pointing to the area’s clay-based soils and their tendency to hold water if saturated. “Metalaxyl and mefenoxam have been on the market for a very long time,” he said. “They have efficacy against phytophthora and pythium, so they’re dual-purpose chemistries. If you’re below 15 C, you’re getting your greatest bang for your buck for pythium control and if you’re above 15 C, it’s giving you phytophthora control. If you’ve got poorly drained soil, you need protection against both of those, so you need a seed treatment, period.” The change may come from any extra product the farmer may want to add, he said. If soils are expected to stay below 15 C and the farmer knows disease pressure is high for pythium, they may want to add a more pythium-targeted product such as ethaboxam to their management plan, he said. The same holds true for soils that do hit that 15 C mark and are already under threat from phytophthora. Wunsch’s own research suggests that the relatively new oxathiapiprolin is stronger for phytophora control than pythium, he said. The

chemical was approved for use in Canada for the first time this year. However, the researcher also added that, “adding additional product only makes sense in those fields where you know that you really have elevated pressure.” The 15 C threshold gave Jeanette Gaultier, BASF senior technical service specialist, something to think about after Wunsch presented the concept during BASF’s Knowledge Harvest event last month. “It re a l l y d o e s e x p l a i n (things),” she said. “We do see later-season phytophthora in Manitoba, that’s what we see. We don’t see that early-season onset. “Seed treatment is still a huge deal, but know what you’re targeting,” she added. “He had a really interesting message on that. You want something that covers off your pythium and

your rhizoctonia and your fusarium and if it doesn’t cover phytophthora, it’s probably not a big deal here. I thought that was a pretty good message to growers and instead they

should be looking at resistance in their varieties as a management technique.” Variety selection has become a major area of interest for producers not only looking to man-

Lenders, government, railways all promise action on grain movement With big expenses on the horizon some farmers are experiencing a difficult cash crunch because grain isn’t moving to market BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

enders are lining up to help western grain farmers who are experiencing a cash crunch due to poor rail service and the looming costs of putting in this year’s crop. Both Farm Credit Canada and the Bank of Montreal issued statements this week saying they would stand by their customers as they suffer from a situation not of their making. “We have been monitoring the grain movement situation for the past number of weeks and are aware it could have an impact on our customers’ short-term cash flow through

the busy spring season,” said Michael Hoffort, FCC president and CEO. “We will support customers as needed, and continue to ensure they have the financial means to get their crops in the ground this spring. FCC rolled out a similar program in 2014 when the railways fell way behind on grain movements to West Coast ports. “We feel it is important that we be proactive and ensure our customers know that we are here to support them and have tools available to reduce the impact on their business from these unforeseen challenges that are beyond their control,” he said. Bank of Montreal issued a statement announcing “a financial relief program” to assist

customers affected by the current grain-handling backlog. “We stand by our customers through both good and challenging times and hope this program will help to alleviate some of the issues currently being faced by grain producers and other related businesses as a result of the backlog,” said Andrew Irvine, BMO head of customer solutions. The program includes deferral of loan payments and waiver of new loan application fees and concessions on renewal fees. Flexible terms on existing and new lines of credit for 2018 are being developed on a caseby-case basis, the bank added, urging customers to contact them to make arrangements.

“We have been monitoring the grain movement situation for the past number of weeks and are aware it could have an impact on our customers’ short-term cash flow through the busy spring season.”

Michael Hoffort FCC

Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay said his department will work with FCC to monitor “cash flow concerns and ensure producers potentially impacted by delays in grain delivery have the flexibility they need.” Farmers short funds for seeding this spring’s crop should consider applying to the federal Advance Payments Program for repayable funds. The program offers cash advances for stored or planted crop of up to $400,000, the first $100,000 interest free. Un d e r t h e A P P, t h e f e d eral government guarantees repayment of cash advances issued to farmers by producer organizations.

The FCC actions were announced as the Canadian Federation of Agriculture urged the gover nment “to make low-cost program changes that would provide emergency income support to cash-stricken grain farmers in Western Canada. Farmers get paid once their grain is delivered and the current shortage of rail cars has left many growers in a financial crisis.” CFA said the government could expand the provisions o f t h e Ad va n c e Pa y m e n t s Program, which would offer immediate relief by giving farmers access to interest-free loans to pay outstanding bills and purchase seeds, fertilizer and other products needed to begin seeding this spring’s crop. The Conservatives and NDP have asked the government to speed up passage of its transportation modernization bill. While that will address longterm rail system challenges, short-term income supports are required and could be implemented quickly, CFA said. “Efforts to get more trains moving will not resolve the dire cash flow crunch happening now. Grain growers require additional tools to bring their operations back to sustainable levels.” Grain Growers of Canada (GGC) president Jeff Nielsen said, “Across Western Canada grain isn’t moving, and we need all parties to work together to get the railways to act.” T h e f e d e ra l g ove r n m e n t needs to “use all tools in its tool box if service doesn’t improve dramatically.” CN announced it was taking immediate action to deal with the backlog. “We apologize for not meeting the expectations of our grain customers, nor our own high standards,” president and CEO Jean-Jacques Ruest, interim president and CEO said shortly after taking the helm from Luc Jobin. “The entire CN team has a sense of urgency and is fully focused on getting it right for farmers and our grain customers, regaining the confidence of Canadian businesses and protecting Canada’s reputation as a stable trade partner in world markets. Moving the Canadian economy is in our DNA. We can and we will do much better and that starts today — no excuses.” CP said that extreme weather took its toll through much of February, but that it was now starting to recover. “We are optimistic that with the weather turning in our favour, our singular focus on delivering safely for the supply chain, and the reopening of the Port of Thunder Bay, that we are on the road to recovery,” CP CEO Keith Creel said. “While our challenges have been significant, they are different than that of our competitor’s and the success of the supply chain depends on both railroads running at optimum levels.

Poor rail service hitting canola crushers too Some plants have had to shut down for a couple of days because trains have been delayed BY ALLAN DAWSON

“It’s not unusual these days to hear from my membership that a (crushing) plant has been down for a day, two days, in some cases three days and it adds up very quickly.”

Co-operator staff/Indian Wells, Calif.

oor rail service is hurting value-added agriculture too. Some of Canada’s canolacrushing plants have had to shut down from one to three days because the railways are failing to move oil and meal fast enough, with the biggest disruptions in the West and on CN Rail lines. The crushers say that is costing millions of dollars in lost production and undermining Canada’s reputation as a reliable supplier of canola oil and meal. “Some (plants) have been down a couple of days,” Chris Ve r v a e t , e x e c u t i v e d i re c tor of the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association (COPA), said in an interview here March 8 on the sidelines of the Canola Council of Canada’s annual convention. “I haven’t heard anything that went past a week. But it’s not unusual these days to hear from my membership that a plant has been down for a day, two days, in some cases three days and it adds up very quickly.” COPA members — ADM, Bunge, Cargill, LDC,

Grain isn’t the only agricultural product suffering from poor rail service. Some Canadian canola crushers are being shut down when trains don’t arrive on time, says Chris Vervaet, executive director of the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association. PHOTO: ALLAN DAWSON

Richardson and V iterra — operate 14 canola-crushing plants across Canada, including 11 in the West where both CN and CP have also failed to meet the demand to transport grain, prompting calls for the federal government to intervene (see sidebar). Shippers, including mem-

ber companies of COPA and the Western Grain Elevator Association, and most farm groups, are also calling for the Senate to quickly approve C - 4 9 , t h e Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Modernization Act, hoping it will lead to better rail service. When canola processors can’t ship out their oil and meal seed, they can’t buy seed, hurting farmers, Vervaet said. Crushers are losing money. How much varies with the cost of seed and the value of canola oil and meal. Right now the combined value of a tonne of oil and meal is around $605. Most plants crush 3,000 tonnes a day, so every day a plant is down it’s roughly a $1.8-million loss. “That’s crush that we can’t recoup,” Ver vaet said. “It’s gone and there’s certainly a dollar value attached to that

lost crush in terms of the value of the oil and the meal. Not to mention what it means in terms of not being able to service your customer in time. And that’s probably even more important in the longer term. That reputation, that ability to get your product to market.” Normally crushing plants operate 24-7 for 350 days a year, Vervaet said. “We do see interruptions from time to time throughout any normal year,” he said. “But this is really where we’ve seen it become a real chronic issue where it’s not just one week where a member doesn’t get proper service. It’s across all members, all facilities and now for an extended period of time.” It’s not easy to stop and start a crushing plant either, Vervaet said.

“It’s not a question of hitting the on-off button,” he added. “It takes time to get everything going again. So it’s a major interruption.” The problem isn’t a shortage of cars. Crushers own and lease their own. What’s lacking are locomotives and crews to haul the cars, Vervaet said. “We’re seeing a significant ser vice slowdown, if not a meltdown on CN... and we’re starting to see some reductions in production,” he said. C-49 will allow rail shippers to negotiate service agreements with the railways, which then can be penalized when the railways fail to fulfil the contract. T h e re’s a l s o a p rov i s i o n for long haul interswitching, which it’s hoped will encourage competition between the railways, but the devil is in the details, Vervaet said. “But it’s worth noting that oilseed processors were probably the biggest users of the 160-km interswitch provision when it was still available,” he said. “So based on that we are hopeful that we can make the long haul interswitch work in a similar fashion.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

Pierson-area farm couple are Manitoba’s O u t s t a n d i n g Yo u n g Farmers for 2018. Brooks and Jen White, of Borderland Agriculture, took over the family grain farm and bison ranch in 2012. It’s so named because the southern boundary of the operation nestles along the U.S. border and the western fringe creeps into Saskatchewan. T h e c o u p l e’s v i s i o n f o r the farm is one of regenerative agriculture. They focus on practices that will build soil health through a pro-

duction system that supports those goals. They also regenerate the business regularly through business planning and continuing education. They also contr ibute to industry and community regeneration through off-farm activities. Future goals include growing through integration and profitability rather than farm size, generating value through multiple profit centres from the same acres, includi n g i n t e g ra t i n g b i s o n a n d cropland. The pair will move on to the national Outstanding Young Farmer competition, slated for Winnipeg in November.

Calls grow for passage of transport bill to amend and quickly pass Transportation Modernization bill As grain movement grinds slower shippers are calling for action on the transport file BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

alls for quick passage of C-49, the Transpor tation Modernization Act are increasing, as are requests for interim relief for farmers who can’t move grain because of poor rail service. And several groups want C-49 amended so a similar backlog doesn’t happen again. The Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat), the Saskatchewan Barley De ve l o p m e n t Co m m i s s i o n and the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan called on the Senate to quickly pass C-49. Given the delay in legislation, the Saskatchewan producer coalition is also asking the federal government for interim short haul interswitching provisions, similar to those in Bill C-30, the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act, to allow for the optimal use of railway capacity to clear backlogs. “This situation illustrates why we need the new legislation in place,” Sask Wheat chair Laura Reiter said in a news release March 8. “The l a c k o f t r a n s p a re n c y a n d accountability we are seeing from the railways is a result of there being no consequences for providing farmers with an inadequate level of service. This has to be fixed quickly before the economic damage is severe.” The grain backlog in 201314 cost west er n Canadian farmers an estimated $5 billion to $6.7 billion, and history is repeating, the groups said. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture wants Ottawa to make low-cost program c h a n g e s t o p rov i d e e m e rgency income support to cash-stricken grain farmers, on top of promised help from Farm Credit Canada and other agriculture lenders (see story in this issue on page 23). Pu l s e Ca n a d a w a n t s t h e Senate to amend C-49 to give the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) more power so it can intervene to prevent another grain-shipping backlog. “This amendment will ensure the regulator has the authority to proactively monitor the system, identify and investigate problems before they become a crisis and take the necessary action,” Pulse C a n a d a’s c h i e f o p e r a t i n g officer, Greg Cherewyk, said in a release March 8. “We cannot afford to wait until we’re in the midst of a crisis to act.” T h e Na t i o n a l Fa r m e r s Union (NFU) also wants the bill amended, claiming the legislation is so flawed it’s unlikely to provide farmers relief. Instead of a reciprocal penalty system, the industry needs an independent body, that includes farmer representation, to arbitrate disputes and enforce compliance between shippers and

the railways in a timely manner, the NFU said in a release March 6. The NFU also wants an independent body to co-ordinate grain movement by rail between the country elevators and expor t ter minals — something the Canadian Wheat Board did for board grains before the board lost its single-desk marketing power Aug. 1, 2012. The NFU is also calling for

stronger regulations for producer cars. On March 7 Lawrence MacAulay and Marc Garneau, C a n a d a’s a g r i c u l t u r e a n d transportation ministers, respectively, wrote CN and CP Rail asking them to do better. They also asked the railways to lay out a plan by March 15 on how they were going to “mitigate the backlog” and maintain fluidity for the rest of the crop year.

On March 8 CN’s interim president and chief executive officer JJ Ruest said CN was sorry for failing to meet grain shippers’ expectations and was working to improve service. “The entire CN team has a sense of urgency and is fully focused on getting it right for farmers and our grain customers, regaining the confidence of Canadian businesses, and protecting Canada’s reputation as a stable trade partner in world m a rk e t s,” Ru e s t s a i d i n a release. “ We can and we will do much better, and that starts today — no excuses.” CN says it is: • Offering incentives for key o p e r a t i n g e m p l oy e e s t o delay retirement and postp o n e va c a t i o n s, a n d f o r re c e n t l y re t i re d o p e r a t -

A good attitude Taking the right mental approach to safety will take you a long way CANADIAN AGRICULTURAL SAFETY ASSOCIATION

enior farmers have experience in spades. You have seen it all. Good years, great yields, good(ish) prices. Bad years, terrible yields, awful prices. You can probably fix it all. (Almost – that newfangled equipment has a lot of computer components.) You know your land like the back of your hand. What about physical capability? Is your back as strong as it once was? How about your eyes? Those reading glasses sure come in handy sometimes. Are you as quick as you used to be? How about your hearing? Those physical capabilities diminish with age. Our eyes grow a little dimmer, our hearing a little less sharp, and our backs a little stiffer. Our mental capabilities may have grown. With age comes gifts. We often become more patient, make wiser decisions and are better at asking for help – alongside age comes emotional maturity. (Usually, there’s always exceptions to the rule!) What governs our behaviour and helps us better understand our capabilities? What helps us make good decisions about safety? Attitude. A good attitude about farm safety is what leads to a safe farm. There is a saying: A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you cannot get very far until you

Making farming safer for senior producers Older farmers are vital to the sector and a few modest changes can keep them safe CANADIAN AGRICULTURAL SAFETY ASSOCIATION

change it. It is not uncommon to hear a teacher or a coach telling their charges to “change your attitude!” These teachers and coaches know that the success of their pupils depends on a good attitude. Solving complicated math problems, throwing the perfect pitch, and staying safe on the farm is a result of the same combination of experience, capability, and attitude. It starts with taking an assessment. A safety audit of your farm is a great step to determine the current situation on your farm. By doing an audit, you can take action to control hazards and prevent injuries. It also gives you an opport u n i t y t o d i s c ove r w h a t you’re doing well on your farm. The next assessment is on yourself. Ask yourself if there are tasks that are beyond your physical capabilities. Take a close look at farming tasks, break down the steps and determine if you can do the job safely. Be honest with yourself. It’s not weak or shameful to acknowledge limitations. Think about and make adjustments as needed. A

hired worker can help out with particularly physical tasks. A new (or new to you) piece of equipment can make life easier. Reorganize your workspace for efficiency and safety. Or maybe it’s time for you to take on a new farming role. After all, your legacy is your family and your farm, you want both to be successful for generations to come. Mature individuals generally are guided by their lifetime of experience. You may remember being able to perform certain tasks, but the reality is your capabilities may have changed and having a good attitude about this will help you stay safe and keep your farm successful. The bottom line is that regardless of age, people can and do get hurt farming. Don’t let your legacy be injured because of a poor attitude towards farm safety. Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW) is a public awareness campaign focusing on the importance of farm safety. CASW takes place every year during the third week of March. In 2018, CASW takes place March 11 to 17.

Working smarter, not harder, is a key factor in keeping seniors safe.

n Canada, the face of farming is changing. More primary agricultural producers are women, and for the first time since 1991, the proportion of farmers under the age of 35 rose. However, the 2016 Agriculture Census also found that there were more farmers over age 70 than under 35. The reality of Canadian agriculture is that older farmers are farming more acres and often farming well into their 70s and 80s. These older farmers are vital to Canadian agriculture. With years of successful farming under their belts, older farmers offer wisdom, knowledge, and experience. However, older farmers are also at risk for injury. Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting statistics show that farmers over the age of 60 have a higher-than-average fatality rate. In fact, farmers 80 years of age and older have the highest fatality rate of any age group. As we age, our bodies change. Our sense of smell, vision, hearing, and touch are likely to experience some decrease in sensitivity. Health concerns like arthritis, low back pain, and respiratory conditions can affect a person’s ability to farm safely. Aging is not the only factor that can have an impact – other factors like disease, lifestyle and medication use can also influence a person’s capability to farm safely. However, these factors don’t mean that a senior farmer is destined for a farm injury. Wo r k i n g s m a r t e r, n o t harder, is a key factor in keeping seniors safe. At any age, whether a young worker, an experienced producer or a senior farmer, working safely means identifying risks and potential hazards and developing a plan to lessen the risk of injury. Before undertaking a task, use a critical eye and take a close look at the job. Break down the job into each of the tasks required and determine the potential hazards and risks associated with each of these

tasks. Determine what it would take to eliminate or control the hazards and make the changes. It could be as simple as using personal protective equipment or finding the proper tool for the job. Next, think about the minimum ability to safely perform the task. Do you have the ability to do the task? Also, think about your risk factors. For example, if the task requires lifting, do you have the ability to lift the required weight without risking injury? (Remember, there are often considerable differences among individuals. Each individual should assess their capabilities based on their own circumstances.) Be realistic about your capabilities. Working within your abilities will set you up for success. Trying to do more than you’re able is setting yourself up for failure, or worse, injury. Other factors to take into consideration include environmental conditions. A safe work situation can be hazardous depending on environmental factors. Factors like ice, noise, dust, and lighting can all impact the environment. Consider not just the environment, but also how it can affect your abilities to work safely. Not all changes associated with aging will have a significant impact on a person’s capacity to perform farming tasks. But it’s important to assess what tasks become more challenging as we age. Planning work activities to compensate for any limitations will set a senior farmer up for continued success. Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW) is a public awareness campaign focusing on the importance of farm safety. CASW takes place every year during the third week of March. In 2018, CASW takes place March 11 to 17.

Canola acres set to climb as pulse acres drop Canola plantings are expected to increase by about one million acres, and that means more disease risk BY JENNIFER BLAIR FBC staff

anola could top out at over 24 million acres in Canada this year — one million more acres than growers planted in 2017. “With the relative return right now, canola is looking better than wheat,” said Murray Har tman, oilseed specialist for Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “If these kinds of price signals continue or strengthen in the spring, a million more acres are entirely feasible.” Agriculture Canada’s preliminary estimates, released at the end of January, show both wheat and canola plantings rising by about one million acres each, with a corresponding drop in pea and lentil acres as a result of India’s tariffs on pulse crops. If the pulse tariffs remain in place — and there’s reason to believe they will — a big jump in canola and wheat acres is a safe bet. “This estimate is based on the India pulse tariff staying in place,” said Hartman. “All of a sudden, there goes your price advantage there, so they need to replace their pulses with something else.” But it’s too soon to say for sure, he added. “You can’t accurately predict what this fall’s harvest prices are going to be,” said Hartman. “It’s like predicting the weather.” But price is only one part of the “revenue equation.” Producers also need to think about how much they can grow while still remaining profitable.

Shortened rotations Luckily, producers don’t need to make their seeding decisions today. “Growers have gone from having a set rotation to having a more flexible rotation, depending on what they figure will have higher profitability,” said Hartman. And if canola fits that bill and acres rise, expect to see shortened rotations — despite the risks. “You don’t want to be planting canola back to back for a lot of years, but with more canola acres, there are going to be more shortened rotations.” The level of risk will vary from farm to farm, but if the rewards pencil out, producers might be willing to take a chance on a shortened rotation. “Farms tend to be more business oriented, so they’re really looking at short-term, five-year profit windows,” said Hartman. “If they’re more business oriented, they’re going to be more comfortable with short-term rotations and accepting of the risks.” It’s hard to estimate what sort of disease levels could result from short rotations on an individual farm, and even harder to put a dollar value on those losses. But the rise of clubroot and blackleg across the Prairies heightens the risk of disease pressure overcoming resistant varieties and that, in turn, will affect the long-term viability of canola as a cropping option, he said. “While one-in-two-year canola can seem just as prof-

itable as a longer rotation, it’s a complicated scenario,” said Hartman. “But from the perspective of agronomics, it’s starting to pose more problems and create more issues.” Growers will need to make these tough decisions as they head into the growing season, said Curtis Rempel, vicepresident of crop production and innovation for the Canola Council of Canada. “Everybody is looking at balancing rotation needs and profit opportunities.”

to make canola producers successful for the coming season.” Producers also need to consider the varieties they grow. If they’re in an area where clubroot or blackleg is a problem, they’ll need to grow resistant varieties. And then it comes down to scouting, said Rempel. “Work with your agronomist to make sure you’re scouting your fields ahead of time and after you’ve planted so nothing gets away on you,” he said. That may also help producers decide if shortening their rotations to make a shortterm profit is worth the risk, Hartman added. “If they’ve been doing a good job of scouting, they have a little more confidence knowing whether they can shorten their rotation there,” he said. “But for people who don’t scout, a shor t rotation is like crossing the highway blindfolded.”

Best management practices But regardless of whether a producer plans to increase, maintain, or cut back canola acres, he or she needs to focus on proper production practices to keep canola profitable. “We know growers are going to be growing some canola, so we really want to stress best management,” said Rempel. The first step is determining your target plant density —

Fish derby promotes lake health Pelican Lake attracted hundreds in early March for the event STAFF

total of 885 fishermen and women registered for the Healthy Lake Committee ice fishing derby March 3 on Pelican Lake, near Ninette. The organization works to ensure a lake clear of algae and healthy fish stocks, mainly through the installation of an aeration system that keeps the bottom of the lake clear of sediments, which can encourage algal blooms that deplete oxygen. By adding more oxygen to the water, more of the nutrients can safely decompose year round.

Arctic seed vault faces ‘unprecedented’ agricultural challenges Climate change is making the goal of this facility more pressing than ever before BY THIN LEI WIN Thomson Reuters Foundation/LONGYEARBYEN, Norway

cavernous bunker on a remote island above the Arctic Circle, where polar bears roam, holds the key to 12,000 years of agriculture but also to food supplies for future generations, with countries urged to deposit seed samples there. Welcome to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which turned 10 on March 5. It holds nearly one million seed samples from the world’s gene banks — an agricultural backup in the event of disasters ranging from nuclear war to climate change. “It’s fair to say that agriculture has never, ever faced bigger challenges than today,” Marie Haga, executive director of The Crop Trust, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. The Crop Trust, an international group working to protect crop diversity, runs the vault in collaboration with the Norwegian government and the Nordic Genetic Resource Centre (NordGen). Among the challenges facing agriculture, experts have said, are rising hunger, population growth and greater climate pressures. That means the world needs to produce more food that is more nutritious, and to do so “on less land, with less water, less pesticides, less fertilizer to keep within what the planet can stand,” Haga said. The answer could lie in a modest room in the vault, measuring 12 metres (40 feet) by 27 metres, where nations have deposited seed samples of food crops for safekeeping, she said. Shelves of boxes, stacked in neat rows at -18 C (0 F), hold seeds from the United States and Russia, Australia and North Korea, and Nigeria and Colombia to name just a few. In the decade since the vault was founded, 73 institutions have deposited crop-seeds at this so-called Bank of Last Resort. The Crop Trust is urging other gene banks around the world to follow suit. China is the notable omission, it said, although discussions are ongoing. Haga’s concerns are echoed by Carly Fowler, a renowned American agriculturalist who helped to found the seed vault. “Agriculture faces a historically unprecedented combination of challenges. At the top of the list is climate change,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. “We’re looking at climates in the near future that haven’t existed in the entire history of agriculture... We have to be proactive to make sure that agriculture does get ready for climate change.”

‘The bank of last resort’ To do that the world needs a diverse set of crops in its arsenal, but that is exactly what it has been losing, experts said. “Our food system is extremely vulnerable. We are basing ourselves now on 12 plants and five animal species for 75 per cent of the food we eat,” said Haga, a former Norwegian politician.

Historically, farmers cultivated at least 7,000 different plants to eat. Today, 60 per cent of global calorie intake comes from wheat, rice and maize, said Haga. This loss is partly due to a focus on “productivity, appearance and taste” at the expense of other aspects such as nutrition, said Kent Nnadozie at the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Nnadozie, who is secretary of the FAO’s International Treaty on Plant G e n e t i c Re s o u rc e s f o r Fo o d a n d Agriculture, said one consequence is that a major disease or virus “could wipe out the entire crop.” To combat that risk, the treaty — which was brokered by the United Nations — facilitates seed exchanges between global gene banks to research a n d d e ve l o p n e w c ro p va r i e t i e s. Currently, 144 countries have ratified the treaty. Worldwide, the FAO said, more than 1,700 gene banks of varying sizes hold collections of food crops. But many are exposed to disasters and conflict; some have to deal with more mundane problems such as a lack of funding, poor management, malfunctioning equipment or erratic power supplies. The loss of a crop variety is irreversible. A h m e d A m r i , f r o m Mo r o c c o’s International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), knows those threats well. In October 2015, ICARDA became the first to withdraw seeds from Svalbard after Syria’s civil war had damaged a seed bank near the city of Aleppo.

“This is the final backup, should anything go wrong — natural disasters, crisis, war, nuclear, whatever — you can always go back there.” Kent Nnadozie UN Food and Agriculture Organization

The gene bank was relocated to Morocco and Lebanon, the seeds have been grown, and redepositing began last year. On Monday, ICARDA deposited more than 8,600 seed samples. It was one of 23 institutions to hand over 77,000 samples on the day. “These samples include wheat, barley, durum wheat and bread wheat, lentils, chickpeas, favabeans and wild relatives of these species... So this is a big achievement,” Amri told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. The FAO’s Nnadozie said the Syria example showed how well the vault could work. “It’s almost like you put your money in a long-term savings account. Once you are in a desperate situation and you need to, (you) take some money, and then you can put it back again. “This is the final backup, should anything go wrong — natural disasters, crisis, war, nuclear, whatever — you can always go back there.”

Climate pressures The Svalbard archipelago, the farthest north reachable on a scheduled flight, was chosen for the vault’s location

because it is remote, there are no volcanoes or earthquakes, and the permafrost keeps the seeds in deep-freeze. Yet the vault, built 120 metres (400 feet) into the rock, is facing its own climate pressures. An unexpected thaw of permafrost meant water flowed into the entrance of the vault’s tunnel in late 2016. The seeds were not in danger, but Norway said on Friday it would spend 100 million krone (US$13 million) to upgrade the vault. “When I came up here the first time in 1985... there was always ice on the fjord. Now you never see complete ice on the fjord,” Haga said. Scientists have warned that the Arctic Ocean could be ice free much sooner than previous predictions, which forecast sea ice would first disappear completely during summer months between 2040 and 2050. Fow l e r s a i d h e w a s c o n f i d e n t the seeds were safe, but welcomed Norway’s decision to strengthen the vault. “We’ll be tight and dry and we’ll deal with whatever climate change gives us,” he said.

Troubled pulse trade generating lots of headlines Tariffs, fumigation, and prime minister’s India trip have put the crop into the media spotlight Staff

he politics of pulses haven’t reached White House levels yet, but the unassuming legumes are generating headlines like never before. The latest ones include another hike in India’s tariffs, a pledge to resolve a long-running dispute over fumigation, and a new attempt to shield Indian farmers from falling prices. Justin Trudeau appeared to have ended a much-derided visit to India with a win on the fumigation issue, but that soon turned into another controversy for the prime minister. (He was also ridiculed for repeatedly wearing traditional Indian clothing for photo ops and also came under fire when Jaspal Atwal, a Sikh from B.C. convicted of attempting to assassinate an Indian cabinet minister three decades ago, was invited to an official reception.) The fumigation issue has been ongoing for more than a decade. India insists pulse imports being fumigated with methyl bromide to ensure the shipments are free of nematodes. But Canada has won a series of exemptions on two grounds — the fumigation process doesn’t work well in cold weather and the nematode pests India is worried about aren’t present here (and therefore not in Canadian pulses). A meeting between Trudeau and India Prime Minister Narendra Modi produced a pledge to permanently address the issue and was hailed by

Canadian pulse industry reps who were also in India as part of the prime ministerial visit. The agreement was hailed as “real progress” by Chris Chivilo, president and CEO of pulse processor W.A. Grain & Pulse Solutions, which is headquartered in Innisfail, Alta. “The prime ministers have recognized the importance of food security and science-based approaches to plant protection policy,” Chivilo said in a news release issued by Pulse Canada. “We will need to continue this collaboration and finalize solutions that will work for both Canada and India.” But days later, the Indian government raised its import tariff for chickpeas, hiking a 40 per cent duty imposed in early February to 60 per cent. The opposition Conservatives blamed the move on a tit-fortat retaliation for a government security adviser suggesting Atwal’s presence in India was orchestrated by the Indian government in order to embarrass Trudeau. However, Pulse Canada said it was told by Agriculture Canada officials that the duty won’t apply to Kabuli chickpeas — and that variety accounts for almost all of the chickpeas grown on the Prairies. Also making news earlier this month was the Indian government’s decision to double state purchases of pulses and oilseeds from farmers in a bid to boost local output and prevent distressed sales. The move was

described as part of a government plan to reach self-sufficiency for pulses (although most deem that to be unlikely as production pivots on variable monsoon rains). However, poverty among farmers is an ongoing major issue in India — one that regularly makes headlines because of suicides. The vast majority of Indian farmers have less than five acres and have to take on high-interest loans if there’s a crop failure or plunge in prices. Many can’t repay their debts and kill themselves — there were 8,007 farmer suicides in 2015, The Hindu

newspaper recently reported, citing the latest government figures. While moves to help its farmers are understandable, the Indian government needs to realize that destabilizing the pulse trade has long-term consequences, argues Pulse Canada CEO Gordon Bacon. “Domestic price support for farmers must be undertaken in a manner that is both transparent and predictable,” Bacon wrote in a column in Manitoba Co-operator last month. “Without this balance, the uncertain future of domestic policy in India will continue

to negatively impact the global pulse market, leading to reduced plantings by farmers in regions such as South Asia, Africa, North America, Eastern Europe and Russia.” Statistics Canada is predicting pulse plantings will drop by a million acres this year because of the Indian situation. “This policy shift in India has had an enormous impact on the Canadian pulse trade,” Bacon told CTV News. “We have about a billion dollars a year of pulse exports to India and that trade has virtually come to a complete halt.”

Injured on the farm? Farm Safety Program wants to know Manitoba Farm Safety Program wants to hear about incidents so it can post preventive bulletins BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

he Manitoba Farm Safety Pro g ra m ( F S P ) w a n t s farmers to tell it about the injury-causing incidents and near misses that occur on their farms. That information could help others avoid the same mishaps by helping its program do more preventive programming, said FSP program director Keith Castonguay. The FSP launched in 2017 through Keystone Agricultural Producers and it’s looking for ways to hear and tell the bigger-picture farm safety story, he said. They suspect there’s potentially a lot more incidents occurring on Manitoba farms than they ever hear about, said Castonguay. The only stats available on farm injury are what’s reported to the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba (WCB), he said. “On our website you’ll find the Workers Compensation record of reported injuries,” he said. “But we know that about 80 per cent of farmers don’t report. Not everyone pays into WCB so not everyone reports injuries. “How do we focus on the programs that are meaningful

“There really is very little that comes out or we’ll hear about it well after the fact. We had a bale fall on a person last year and we heard about it three months afterwards.” Keith Castonguay FSP program director

to a farmer if we don’t know what’s happening?” he said. “There really is very little that comes out, or we’ll hear about it well after the fact. We had a bale fall on a person last year and we heard about it three months afterwards.” If farmers would voluntarily share more information about circumstances that resulted in an injury, offer a cautionary message to go with it and do so in a timely fashion, it would help the FSP put out advisories to others working at similar jobs, Castonguay said. The FSP has a link on its website where farmers can submit infor mation about what happened. Names and specific locations of any re p o r t s re c e i v e d a re k e p t strictly confidential. A good example of timely sharing of information was last spring when a farmer, who’d been taking some video of pulling a truck out of the mud, was able to capture what

happened when bolts broke on the truck being dislodged and the tow rope and hook hurled like a slingshot at the tractor. The hook just missed going through the cab window and the farmer narrowly avoided serious injury. The video got people talking about the risks using tow straps that don’t stretch, as well as the recommended usage of flexible, looped-end recovery straps instead. It’s these kinds of things they’d like to hear more about, said Castonguay. They’d also like to hear more farmers posting about things they do on their farm that have made work safer, he added. “What we’ve been doing in the last year is trying to find what programs we need to provide that resonate with the farm community,” he said.

says the FSP’s call-out for more reporting of incidents is a good idea. WCB data shows the most common types of injuries in agricultural worksites include being struck by objects, ‘bodily reaction’ injuries, and getting hurt from tripping and falling, he notes. The types of injuries on non-WCB farms are likely similar, he added. All farmers are encouraged to sign up for WCB coverage and can do so if they choose, but coverage is only mandatory for farms that have one or more employees. There are currently 1,630 active agriculture accounts with the WCB in Manitoba. Glen Blahey agr icultural safety specialist with the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) said farmers do talk among themselves about incidents that happen. “ There’s the coffee shop c h i t - c h a t ,” h e s a i d . “ B u t t h e re’s a l w a y s t h i n g s t h a t h a p p e n t h a t a r e n’t t o l d anywhere.” There is however, ongoing documentation of injur ies sustained on Manitoba farms re q u i r i n g h o s p i t a l i z a t i o n . These are forms which are filled out at admission that include a place to indicate the site the injury occurred, providing a long-term record of farm-based injuries.

“There are reporting pro cesses in place to capture the data,” he said. “The challenge is to access the data and analyze it,” he said, adding Manitoba Health i s c a u t i o u s a b o u t re l e a s ing data to protect people’s privacy. Work he and provincial epidemiologists did several years ago, to comb through provincial injury data, ultimately provided science-based evidence to support a provincial grant program in the mid2000s that helped farm families offset some of the costs of constructing fenced safe play areas to prevent youngsters from wandering into dangerous areas. The Canadian Agriculture Injury Surveillance Program (CAISP) and Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) was established in 1995 and provides ongoing comprehensive accounting of fatal and hospitalized agricultural injuries in Canada. It releases public reports that help guide farm safety programming. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

The Open Kitchen Manitoba’s only privately owned, rural state-of-the-art processing facility supports new food entrepreneurs

The Open Kitchen at Warren is a privately owned rent-a-processing-plant and part of an expanding number of facilities in Manitoba towards encouraging more value-added food development, says the site’s co-owner Doug Langrell. PHOTO: LORRAINE STEVENSON

eter Fehr was looking to expand his sauce-making company when he discovered The Open Kitchen last spring. Now the gourmet chef and entrepreneur attributes the growth spurt of his business Gourmet Inspirations to having come here to bottle his product. “It’s been a valuable stepping stone in growing my business,” said Fehr whose finishing and dessert sauces last year won his company a spot on the Top 10 new companies list from Food in Canada magazine. The Open Kitchen, a foodprocessing plant for rent on the outskirts of Winnipeg, gave him the extra space he required after outgrowing the site he’d been in, but not yet ready to put up his own plant. “I didn’t have to take on so much risk in building my own facility. It’s been valuable in upscaling and helping me grow my business.” The Manitoba chef was first of now about half a dozen clients of The Open Kitchen, a 1,800-sq.-ft. site in Warren, just a few minutes northwest of the city. It’s fitted with a huge electric kettle, coolers, pneumatic piston fillers, storage space and other technology prima-

rily for the processing of fluid products. T h e f u l l y c e r t i f i e d g ov er nment-inspected site is Ma n i t o b a’s o n l y p r i va t e l y owned, rural state-of-the-art processing facility. It opened its doors about a year ago. A rent-a-kitchen concept wasn’t exactly what they had in mind when they built it five years ago, says Doug Langrell, co-owner of the site. He and his siblings had planted a five-acre orchard here in 2008, started a small company DDJs Saskatoons and needed a place to process their berries. The building was built in 2012 with other saskatoon growers joining in to use it to clean, sort, and process fresh their berries, as well as freeze and dry berries for ingredientbuying customers. They soon realized they had more space than they could ever use themselves, said Langrell. “It w a s a r o u n d 2 0 1 6 i t occurred to us that we were using this building for saskatoon processing for about two weeks out of 52,” he said. T h a t ’s w h e n M a n i t o b a Agriculture suggested they open it up for other processors too. There was especially demand for inspected, equipped facilities to produce and package things like sauces, chutneys, syrups and vegetable concentrates, they were told.

“I’ve used the analogy that the Food Development Centre (at Portage la Prairie) is kind of like the maternity ward where a lot of these recipes are born. This is the nursery.” Doug Langrell

The Open Kitchen offers flexible hours, allowing smaller entrepreneurs to upscale product when they’re at a point they want to grow their company but not ready to build facilities of their own. It especially appeals to those selling at farmers’ markets or needing to produce larger volumes of product for retail sales, said Langrell. “I’ve used the analogy that the Food Development Centre (at Portage la Prairie) is kind of like the maternity ward where a lot of these recipes are born,” he said. “This is the nursery.” Numerous Great Manitoba Food Fight participants have brought their products here including emerging businesses like Cheeky Chutney making a tamarind and mango chut-

ney and CanFarm Foods Ltd., which produces a line of artisanal cold-pressed canola oils. The site is all on ground level, has storage space so users don’t have to haul supplies back and forth and offers flexible hours to users, said Langrell. Some use it monthly, others bimonthly, or just for two or thee days at a time. It’s just a matter of booking, he said. “It is, as we say, the open kitchen. It means to be open to people’s schedules too.” The site itself is fully approved and certified by Manitoba Health, but users must also get their own stamp of approval for the process they’ll be using in it, explains Langrell. “That process is a simple one,” he said. “A Manitoba Agriculture inspector comes in and watches your entire process from beginning to end, comments on that and then makes suggestions for improvements.” It’s an exciting time for food processing in Manitoba with so many emerging food companies and they’re glad to offer this support to it, Langrell said. The whole intent behind this and the rest of the province’s network of commercial kitchens is to make processing sites more widely accessible and help spur development of these companies, he said. “There’s a lot of different

smaller towns that have community kitchens that locals can use to make their foodstuffs, rather than having to go into Winnipeg or Brandon or Portage la Prairie,” he said. “This is helping spread it out to yet another rural location.” More information about The Open Kitchen including fee schedules is found at: https:// theopen-kitchen.com. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Cash for kitchen equipment STAFF The province has recently announced $84,000 in funding for community-based kitchens around Manitoba to buy new equipment such as labellers and date coders, and other commercial-grade kitchen technology to support local food entrepreneurs. A directory of all commercial community kitchens available for rent in Manitoba plus more information about using them is found online at www.gov.mb.ca/agri culture/food-and-ag-processing under Quick Links.

Prairie fare Coffee or tea? Both are fine beverage choices but tea contains numerous compounds with potential health benefits and even may help with weight management BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

think I started drinking coffee at about age 11, about the same time I learned how to drive a stick-shift pickup truck. I wasn’t a particularly good driver, but I could drive around a farmyard without hitting any sheds or the barn. I could make a mean cup of coffee in our percolator from an early age, though. Most people had a thermos full of hot coffee next to them in their vehicles. You could grab the attached cup, fill it and never let yourself get low on caffeine. The coffee pot was turned off after our midafternoon lunch. Now and then, we had black or green tea for dinner. It was prepared in a brown glass pot, and we would suspend a stainless steel tea ball on a chain into the pot. I was able to put the tea leaves in the ball and watch while the hot water was poured over the top. When I was older, my mom told me that if she wasn’t having the best meal, she’d dress up the meal with tea. That worked for me. I felt quite grown up and sophisticated when we had tea with our evening meal. I probably extended my pinky finger as I sipped the green tea, like any fine young lady of the royal family, I presumed. I put a lot of milk and sugar in it. I enjoy a cup or two of coffee a day, but I have a cup of decaffeinated tea before I retire for the evening. Tea, coffee and any other beverage count toward our fluid needs, although caffeinated beverages are a bit less hydrating than plain water. Many grocery stores have a large selection of teas from which to choose. Approximately 86 per cent of tea servings are black tea and 13 per cent green tea. The rest of our tea consumption is oolong and white. Tea consumption is most popular in the form of iced tea by far. Tea, without cream and sugar, has no calories, so it’s a good diet drink. In fact, tea has been shown to contain numerous antioxidant compounds with potential health benefits and even may help with weight management. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which are compounds formed in the body linked to chronic disease.

Tea and coffee both contain caffeine but tea has some other health benefits. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK

In other words, when you sip tea, you might be knocking out some scoundrels doing damage to your body at the cellular level. Fruits and vegetables are other potent contributors of disease-fighting antioxidants. Green tea is especially high in compounds called “catechins” that have antioxidant effects. In fact, some studies have shown that tea may reduce our risk for heart and blood vessel disease, cancer and diabetes. Although we do not have a general recommendation for tea consumption, even a small amount of tea may enhance health. Here’s how to brew a good cup of tea: • Bring water to a boil in a glass or enamel container (not aluminum) and remove from heat for one to three minutes. • In a teapot made of glass, china or porcelain, place about 1 teaspoon of tea leaves for every 6 ounces of water. Allow the tea leaves to move freely in the water and then strain when pouring the tea. Or, if using an infusion basket or tea ball, select one large enough to allow the leaves to move.

• Steep for three to five minutes, or experiment to find the optimum brewing time for the desired flavour. • Warm the tea cup before serving. This sounds a lot like the way my mother used to make our green tea. Yes, moms do know best. Here’s a delicious muffin recipe with antioxidant-rich blueberries and fibre-rich oatmeal to enjoy with your favourite hot beverage.

ndrew Jackson looked up from the newspaper he was reading and set his coffee cup down on the kitchen table beside his breakfast plate. Rose remained engrossed in the Scrabble game she was playing on her iPad. “How about those Jets.” Andrew leaned back in his chair. “What about ’em?” Rose didn’t look up. “They keep winning,” said Andrew. “Nice,” said Rose. “I’m trying to make a word with three i’s, three u’s and an e.” “If you put those letters down on the ice,” said Andrew, “and let Patrick Laine whip them into a net with his hockey stick they would form a word no one ever heard of before.” “That word wouldn’t count,” said Rose, “because it wouldn’t be in the dictionary. My Scrabble app would just say uuieiui is not a recognized word and take the letters off the board.” Andrew thought about that for a moment. “That kind of takes the fun out of Scrabble doesn’t it?” he said. “Isn’t putting down fake words and daring your opponent to challenge them mostly what makes the game interesting at all? Where’s the fun if you can’t put down a fake word every so often?” “Scrabble isn’t supposed to be fun,” said Rose. “It’s supposed to be annoying and unfair and make you hate strangers on the internet.” “I thought that was what Facebook was for,” said Andrew. “Facebook makes you hate your friends,” said Rose. “Not strangers.” “Oh, my mistake.” Andrew picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. “This is really good coffee,” he said. “What is it?” “It’s Kick Ass coffee,” said Rose. “I know that,” said Andrew. “I mean what’s it called?” “That IS what it’s called,” said Rose. “How rude,” said Andrew. “But I like it.” “They were out of Hoodoo Joe,” said Rose. There was a moment of silence. “Who do you think the Jets will end up playing against in the first round of the playoffs?” said Andrew.

“The Propellers,” said Rose. “There isn’t a team called the Propellers,” said Andrew. “Too bad,” said Rose, “because that would be hilarious.” “You’re weird sometimes,” said Andrew. “And that’s why you love me,” said Rose. “I love you because you make good coffee,” said Andrew. “I think the Jets are going to meet the San Jose Sharks in the first round. And they will win the series in four games and send the Sharks slinking home with their tails tucked between their legs.” “Sharks don’t have legs,” said Rose. “That’s what Troy Westwood said on the radio the other day,” said Andrew. “He said the San Jose Sharks have lots of skill but they don’t have the legs.” “It’s not rocket science,” said Rose. “Everybody knows sharks don’t have legs.”

“Just so you know,” said Andrew, “I may still be watching hockey in June this year.” “Don’t expect any sympathy from me,” said Rose. “You know where the off button is on the remote.” “If the Jets make it to the Stanley Cup finals do you think there will be riots in Winnipeg?” asked Andrew. “Not if it’s on the weekend,” said Rose. “Everybody will be at the lake.” “Of course,” said Andrew. “But they might riot on Monday when they get back. That would sure beat going to work.” He paused for a moment. “Could you even call yourself a major league city if your sports team won, or lost, a championship series and you didn’t celebrate by getting drunk and destroying a bunch of property?” “Good question,” said Rose. “I think if the Jets win and there isn’t a proper riot Gary Bettman will say Winnipeg isn’t a viable market and force True North to move the Jets to Little Rock, Arkansas,” said Andrew. “I don’t know who Gary Bettman is,” said Rose. “Gary Bettman is the weasel-that-walks-like-aman who runs the NHL,” said Andrew. “Oh, him,” said Rose. “I don’t even know where Arkansas is,” she added. “Neither does Gary Bettman,” said Andrew, “but that won’t stop him from putting a team there.” “I exchanged all my letters,” said Rose still focusing on her iPad. “Now I have no vowels at all. And I have two c’s and two f’s.” “That’s like my Grade 12 report card,” said Andrew. “I’m losing this game by over 100 points,” said Rose,” and we’re only in the third round.” “Ha,” said Andrew. “That’s what the Nashville Predators will be saying when they play the Jets in the playoffs.” “Predators?” said Rose. “That’s a horrible name for a sports team. I’m just gonna forfeit this game,” she added. “What’s the point?” “That’s the spirit,” said Andrew. “Quit while you’re behind.” Rose extended her index finger and touched the bottom right-hand corner of her screen. “Done,” she said. “It’s all over but the rioting.” “Go Jets,” said Andrew.

The pitcher plant — definitely an oddity It gets its nutrients from consuming insects but still needs the sun for energy By Albert Parsons

They get their nutrients from the insects they consume, but not their energy which they still must derive from the sun just like other plants do.

Freelance contributor

ome gardeners like the challenge of growing something different and carnivorous plants can definitely be considered oddities. There are over 500 plant species that do in fact eat meat — insects mainly. They get their nutrients from the insects they consume, but not their energy which they still must derive from the sun just like other plants do. The most common carnivorous plant grown as a houseplant is the pitcher plant, and early spring is the time to rejuvenate it. There are several species of pitcher plant, the two most common being the Darlington California and the Sarracinia. They are similar in appearance and growth habit and both are often called cobra lily because their leaf structure resembles the appearance of a hooded cobra. The leaves are bulbous; a hollow cavity is formed inside each leaf. This swollen balloon-like structure stands vertically and has an overhanging structure over the top which gives a hooded appearance, very cobra like, and the overhanging structure has two pointed leaves which some say resemble the fangs. The cobra lily catches insects by attracting them with its bright colour and its scent. Once an insect lands on the plant it is attracted to the edge of the hollow leaf by nectar that is produced on the top of the pitcher. The nectar not

only attracts the insect but creates a slippery surface and the insect will slip into the hollow leaf. Once inside, because the inside of the leaf is very slippery and because the speckled light coming through the leaf confuses the insect, it cannot get back out. There are also many fine hairs growing inward inside the cavity so the insect can go further into the plant but cannot go backwards to get out. Finally the insect dies from exhaustion and its body is gradually consumed by the digestive juices that are present in the bottom of the pitcher.

The hood on the top of the plant prevents rain from getting into the pitcher and diluting the digestive juices. Pitcher plants are native to the southeastern parts of North America. There are a few that grow in the Great Lakes region but most are found in the southeastern United States with Florida being a major habitat for them. Being subtropical, they like warm temperatures and will not tolerate frost (those that grow farther north can withstand light frosts). In their natural habitat they grow in bogs. The pitcher plant is an interesting pot plant for the home gardener to grow and it will do best if put outdoors during the summer. It likes full sun and demands a good supply of water and the purer the water the better — rainwater from the rain barrel is perfect. Since the plant likes its soil to be constantly very moist, a good idea is to have the pot sitting in a saucer of water to

provide a steady supply. This will perform double duty as it also keeps the roots of the plant cool; pitcher plants do not like their roots to become overheated. Because of its habit of constantly sitting in water, the soil in the pot can develop a buildup of salts and minerals, so the plant should be repotted and the soil changed every spring. If you have wintered a pitcher plant, now is the time to get it prepared for its summer performance. The growth will have browned and the plant will have gone into a dormant state during the winter. It will still have needed to stand in a bit of water but its water uptake would have been slow. In the spring, the plant should be popped out of its pot and replanted in new soil in a clean pot (minerals will likely have collected around the rim of the original one so it either should be cleaned thoroughly or a new one used). Pitcher plants do well in an ordinary soilless mix. A 20-20-20 soluble fertilizer should be used during the growing season. When repotting a pitcher plant, the large rhizomes from which the plant grows will require a deep pot. The brown foliage should be cut off close to the soil surface, but care should be taken not to cut off any emerging new growth. After repotting it in spring, the pitcher plant will be ready for the summer and will produce its unique bulbous stems, adding colour and interest wherever it is located.

Time to start planning for summer camping It seems early with snow still around but some reservations can be made this month By Donna Gamache Freelance contributor

now may still be on the ground, and camping may be far from your mind, but it’s almost time to make plans — especially if you want to make reservations for provincial cabins, yurts or group-use areas. Reservations for these spots open Monday, March 19 at 7 a.m., and the cabins and yurts fill up quickly for weeke n d c a m p e r s. On e c a m p ground — Birds Hill Provincial Park — opens the same day, and it also fills up quickly for weekends, particularly if you want a site with electricity and water. Reservations for Winnipeg Beach and all campgrounds in Whiteshell Provincial Park open Monday, April 2 (Easter Monday) at 7 a.m. For all remaining provincial parks, the opening date is Wednesday, April 4 at 7 a.m. Use http:// prspub.gov.mb.ca/ for online reservations, or phone 204948-3333 in Winnipeg or 1-888482-2267 toll free. For additional online camping information go to https://www.gov. mb.ca/sd/parks/index.html. At Riding Mountain National Park, reservations have been open since the middle of January, so full-service sites may be mostly booked on busier weekends, but you could still check out https://reserva tion.pc.gc.ca/RidingMountain. Campgrounds open by May 11, although at Wasagaming a few of the oTENTiks have been open all year, so if you can’t wait until May, try one of them.

Whether you use a tent or a yurt, now is the time to plan for summer camping. PHOTOS: DONNA GAMACHE

Reservations for these spots open Monday, March 19 at 7 a.m., and the cabins and yurts fill up quickly for weekend campers.

Before you make any reservations, do some planning. Do you have one particular park or campground where you always go? Why not be a little more adventurous and try a different place this year — maybe a provincial or pri-

vate campground in the Hecla Island, Gimli, Steep Rock, or Arborg area. The internet is a good place to begin your planning. Check out the following site to get an idea of campsites available in Manitoba. You may be sur-

prised by the number shown, and not even all of the smaller towns are included there. See: h t t p s : / / w w w. a l l s t a y s. c o m / Campgrounds/Manitobacampground-map.htm. Another information source is the Manitoba

Accommodations Guide, available from Travel Manitoba. It includes camping information and will be mailed out on request. Phone 1-800-6650040 or go to www.travelmani toba.com. Do you want a campground with fishing nearby? Try Rivers Provincial Park, Lake Audy, Asessippi Provincial Park or Duck Mountain Provincial Park. Is a beach with good swimming facilities import a n t ? Pe r h a p s M i n n e d o s a Beach, Grand Beach or St. Malo Provincial Park would be your choice. If you want a beach and a golf course, try Lake Minnewasta at Morden or the campgrounds at Oak Lake or Hecla. If you would like to camp near Winnipeg so you can explore the city, Birds Hill Park is fairly close, as well as a couple of commercial campgrounds, while history buffs might choose the Selkirk campground and plan a visit to Lower Fort Garry. Maybe you’d like a northern camping experience at a provincial park at Paint Lake near Thompson, Clearwater Lake near the Pas or Bakers Narrows near Flin Flon, to name a few. All have excellent scenery. If you decide to use a provincial park, remember to purchase a 2018 Manitoba Parks pass ($40), beforehand or at the campground when you check in. Wherever you decide to go, happy planning. Sometimes that’s half the fun — but don’t wait too long! Donna Gamache writes from MacGregor, Manitoba

This Old Elevator

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

An elevator at Netley Siding, on the CPR Winnipeg Beach Subdivision in the RM of St. Andrews, was built in 1948 by Manitoba Pool Elevators. Renovated between February and August 1986 at a cost of about $557,000, its capacity was doubled to 73,000 bushels with the addition of two steel tanks. A new driveshed featured a fully electronic scale and a dust-collecting system was installed. The facility was reopened at a ceremony on August 15, 1986. Closed on October 31, 2000, it remains in use for private grain storage. Source: Gordon Goldsborough

Last week's answer

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
