THE DAMAGED HARVEST Most samples from this year’s Canadian harvest are showing signs of disease, weather damage

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Jan Knight hates being the bearer of bad news.

However, that’s going to be a big part of her job for the next few months as she informs farmers that their crops are likely to be downgraded because of disease and weather damage.

“I don’t want to be a ‘Debbie Downer,’ but there’s nothing really good to say,” said Knight after poring over the results of the first 10 days of testing for the Canadian Grain Commission’s Har vest Sample Program.

Indeed, early results show a western Canadian crop with much more downgradeable damage than in most years.

Last year in mid-September, 497 samples of Canada Western Red Spring had been graded, with 327 achieving No. 1 status.

This year, only 56 of 423 samples of CWRS were No. 1, which is 13.2 percent compared to 65.8 percent last year.

Knight oversees the har vest sample program in the basement of the grain commission’s building in downtown Winnipeg, where early morning mail delivers massive amounts of crop-filled envelopes from farmers.

The free program allows farmers to submit samples and receive a professional grade from a grain inspector, but it’s not a binding grade for commercial grain buyers. It’s just a professional grade of a small sample to give a farmer a better assessment of what he has in the bin.

HERBICIDES

Firm finds quinclorac loophole Elevator association and canola grower group urge caution before acting on advice

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The company that sells quinclorac herbicide thinks there may be a loophole that allows its customers to sell their canola into the mainstream grain-handling system.

The Western Grain Elevator Association (WGEA) and the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association (COPA) say their members will not accept any quinclorac-treated canola because China has not established maximum residue limits (MRL) for the chemical.

Growers will be asked to sign a declaration at their local elevator or crush facility stating that the canola in their truck has not been treated with the product.

Sean Cooper, director of corporate development with Great Northern Growers, said that is not going to be an issue for most of its customers who bought its Clever quinclorac-based herbicide.

MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

Monsanto takeover faces tough road Bayer’s US$66 billion bid for the American company faces opposition among grower groups in Canada and the U.S.

BY SEAN PRATT

HOW THE COMPANIES STACK UP

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Bayer’s takeover of Monsanto would create a near-monopoly player in the canola industry, drive up seed prices and stifle innovation, say farm groups and analysts.

The new entity would account for 65 percent of canola acres in Canada and 95 percent of the canola trait business.

That makes farmers anxious.

“Canola has grown and thrived and has been a benefactor of very vigorous innovation and hyper-competition in the high-tech area of seed development,” said Rick White, chief executive officer of the Canadian Canola Growers Association.

“It has served us very, very well, and we’re worried about a monopoly situation here where that incentive is maybe diminished.”

Bayer announced last week that it had reached an agreement to acquire Monsanto for US$66 billion. The deal is subject to Monsanto shareholder approval and regulatory approval in about 30 countries, including Canada.

White believes the Competition Bureau will force Bayer to divest some of its canola assets.

“The Competition Bureau looks very closely when market share concentration exceeds 35 percent,” he said.

Bayer had a 52.5 percent share of Canada’s 20 million acre canola crop in 2015 compared to 12.7 percent for Monsanto, according to data compiled by Phillips McDougall.

Bayer said it is willing to undertake divestitures if required and refutes the notion that there will be reduced competition in the agriculture sector.

“We will only succeed with pricing and selling our products if our value proposition to our customers is better than that of our competitors and if we continue to innovate,” the company said in a document accompanying the merger announcement.

Richard Gray, professor of agricultural economics at the University of Saskatchewan, thinks it is pretty clear which line of canola the company would get rid of if forced to by the Competition Bureau.

to Pioneer Hybrid or somebody,” he said.

Liberty Link has more value because it is the highest yielding herbicide tolerant system on the market.

Gray said it is unlikely the Competition Bureau would allow Bayer to keep both canola systems because the company would be able to raise the price of both systems without losing market share.

He agreed with White that the truly scary part of the merger for farmers is the impact it would have on innovation in the canola seed business.

“Right now there is certainly quite a bit of a race between InVigor varieties and Roundup Ready varieties in terms of genetic improvement,” he said.

“Why spend all that money if your market share isn’t going to improve? Why not just raise the price and be content?”

Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said farmers are also concerned about concentration in the pesticide business.

Bayer is the world’s second largest agrochemical company behind Syngenta with $10.1 billion in sales in 2015. Monsanto is a distant fifth with $4.3 billion in pesticide sales.

“They’re two big players in that as well, but I don’t think it’s quite as concentrated as it is in the seed business,” said Bonnett.

Monsanto vaults into the top spot with $14.4 billion in sales when seed and trait sales are included, Syngenta is second at $13.3 billion and Bayer is third with $11.5 billion in combined pesticide and seed sales.

Farm groups in the United States are also expressing concern about t h e m e r g e r. Me m b e r s o f t h e National Farmers Union were in Washington last week lobbying Congress to conduct hearings about all the pending mergers in the crop input sector.

In addition to Bayer and Monsanto, ChemChina is buying Syngenta, Dow and DuPont are merging and so are Potash Corp and Agrium.

“Consolidation of this magnitude cannot be the standard for agriculture, nor should we allow it to determine the landscape for our future,” NFU president Roger Johnson said in a news release.

“These megadeals are being made to benefit the corporate

boardrooms at the expense of family farmers, ranchers, consumers and rural economies.”

The U.S. Senate judiciary committee is reviewing the trend of consolidation in agriculture.

White said the canola growers association does not plan to lobby politicians in Ottawa. Its sole focus will be providing input to the Competition Bureau.

“I’m not sure what the politicians could do, to be honest, when it comes to business transactions like this,” he said.

In 2010, the Canadian government stopped the $40 billion sale of Po t a s h C o r p t o BH P Bi l l i t o n because it felt it would not provide a net benefit to the country.

White said it would be a stretch to come to the same conclusion about the Bayer-Monsanto merger.

Gray said one thing politicians can do is look at patent laws and other laws and figure out how to make it easier for generics to enter the market.

“Looking at other ways to introduce competition is going to be increasingly important,” he said.

Some people don’t think the merger will happen.

Jeremy Redenius, an investment analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., said there is a 50 percent chance of the deal being completed. Redenius believes the only way regulators will allow the deal to happen is if there is significant divestment.

“We estimate asset sales up to

$1.2 billion from cotton and canola seeds, glufosinate herbicide and trait,” he said in a research note following the merger announcement.

Wi l l o w St re e t I nv e s t m e n t s believes antitrust regulators will b l o c k Bay e r ’s a c q u i s i t i o n o f Monsanto, and Monsanto’s investors appear to agree.

“We have never seen an acquisition announcement where the acquisition target’s shares dropped upon such announcement and continued to drop in the following days,” Willow Street said in its analysis published on the Seeking Alpha website.

Bayer has agreed to pay Monsanto $2 billion, or three percent of its offer price, if the deal falls through.

“We believe Bayer’s attempted acquisition of Monsanto represents corporate arrogance that it could actually be able to complete such acquisition, especially in the face of the already announced DowDuPont merger,” said Willow Street.

“Bayer’s arrogance will end up costing the company $2 billion and over one year in wasted energy and expense attempting to close such a deal.”

Bayer is confident it will get the necessary approvals and expects the deal to close by the end of 2017.

Bayer and Monsanto will continue to operate as two independent businesses until that time. sean.pratt@producer.com

OPEN FARM DAY A lot of the samples are being downgraded from No. 1 because of fusarium damage. The wet weather we’ve had over the last two weeks has definitely taken its toll on crop quality as well.

DARYL BESWITHERICK CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION

THE DAMAGED HARVEST » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 It also provides the Canadian grain industry with a snapshot of the overall situation. New crop missions that go out across the globe to Canada’s customers provide crop quality estimates that are based to a large degree on the sample program results.

This year, the missions will have to inform buyers that there is a lot of disease in the crop. “ There are quite a few fuzz damaged kernels here,” Usman Mohamad, a grain commission inspector from Vancouver who was in Winnipeg for the harvest rush, said as he picked through a wheat sample.

“It’s unfortunate.”

“Fuzz” is the nickname that inspectors use for fusarium, and it’s being heard a lot around the Canadian grain industry this fall.

Daryl Beswitherick, the grain commission’s inspections mana g e r, s a i d a f e w d i s e a s e s a re showing up in many samples, including fusarium and mildew.

Ergot is widely reported in some areas and will likely begin to be seen more often.

“A lot of the samples are being downgraded from No. 1 because o f f u s a r i u m d a m a g e ,” s a i d Beswitherick.

“The wet weather we’ve had over the last two weeks has definitely taken its toll on crop quality as well.”

However, Beswitherick and Knight said the 2016 crop is a very mixed bag. There are No. 1 samples of C WRS and durum and good quality lentils and peas. As well, canola generally looks excellent.

“I think you’re going to see a pretty even distribution across all grades,” said Beswitherick.

“It’s going to be a full spectrum.”

Knight encouraged farmers who haven’t taken part in the sample program to sign up as soon as possible.

They’ll need to do it fast, though, because samples will need to be in by mid-October for crops to be graded in time to help the new crop missions.

Samples can be received until the end of the year for personal results.

Knight anticipates a busy year because farmers have a lot of questions about the state of their crops.

“We find submissions to the program in good years are much lower because they know they’ve got a No. 1,” said Knight.

Few farmers will have that confidence this year. ed.white@producer.com

AGRONOMY

Small changes, big benefits Growers can make small agronomic changes one field at a time to prevent herbicide resistance

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Preventing the spread of herbicide resistant weeds does not have to be a daunting task, according to an expert.

“It starts with one field and it starts today,” said Kate Sanford Mitchell, project manager for North American canola, pulses and cereals at Bayer.

She said growers can make small agronomic changes one field at a time to help prevent Canada from going down the same road as the United States and Australia, where herbicide resistance has become a major headache.

“It’s little shifts in thinking, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing,” she said.

“It’s not about changing every practice on your farm. It’s changing little things here and there that

you may be able to make work.”

For instance, a new study in the United Kingdom says delaying seeding is the most important thing a grower can do to mitigate the development of herbicide resistant weeds.

“It’s a revolutionary concept,” said Sanford Mitchell.

She believes growers should seed their worst field for weeds last. The weeds will have a chance to grow up in the spring and then can be controlled with a late preseed burn-down, tillage or a late spring frost.

The grower can then select a different field next year on which to delay seeding.

As well, a new study from Australia suggests that seeding wheat and barley crops in an east-west direction can halve the ryegrass seed set compared to crops seeded north-south because it

reduces the sunlight available to the weeds.

Prairie growers can experiment with one field to see if that seeding pattern delivers the same beneficial results here.

The research is a big deal in Australia, where growers are spending an additional $13 per acre to control resistant weeds on top of their usual herbicide costs of $46 per acre.

The situation is worse in the southern U.S., where growers have been forced to abandon glyphosate tolerant crops altogether.

“It has increased herbicide costs on their farms three to four times, if not higher, especially with having to use residuals in front of their herbicides,” said Sanford Mitchell.

Canada ranks third in the world for the highest incidence of herbi-

cide resistant weeds, behind the U.S. and Australia.

Researchers have identified 64 resistant weeds in Canada. Alberta has 23, Manitoba 22 and Saskatchewan 19. Sanford Mitchell said there are likely more because many farmers don’t realize resistant weeds are growing in their fields.

Growers in Western Canada who have glyphosate resistant kochia in their fields are forced to use a Group 4, 6 or 10 herbicide to combat the weed.

“Those herbicides cost at least double what glyphosate does, if not a little bit more,” she said.

Growers faced with Group 1, 2 or 8 resistant wild oats also have added costs and may be forced to use a pre-emergent herbicide, which can add $20 per acre to their herbicide costs. sean.pratt@producer.com

HARVEST

Harvest arrives despite excessive rain

CROP FEATURES ARE A WEEKLY SERIES RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE GROWING SEASON.

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

If rain makes grain, then farmers near Elrose and Kyle in west-central Saskatchewan could be looking at some big yields this fall — at least in fields that weren’t drowned out or flooded.

The area — about a two-hour drive southwest of Saskatoon — holds the distinction this year of having received more rain than almost any other part of the province since April 1.

“We stopped keeping track (of rainfall) after a while, but there has been a significant amount, that’s for sure,” said Robert Ellis, who farms near Elrose and serves as a municipal councillor in the Rural Municipality of Monet.

“We were looking pretty good for a while … but in the middle of July until early August, it just kept coming and wouldn’t shut off.”

In a normal year, growers in Monet and the neighbouring RM of Lacadena expect around 150 millimetres of rain during the growing season.

But this year, some farms received 625 mm or more.

Sloughs are full. Road are under water and farmland that was planted this spring is no longer accessible.

Remarkably, there will be a har-

Signs of excessive rain can be seen out the window of the combine as Robert Ellis takes a crop off near Elrose, Sask. | vest this year.

A spell of mostly clear, warm weather that began in late August and early September has allowed the land to dry up and the crops to mature.

Last week, dust was flying and combines were busy as they took off what looks to be a bigger-thanaverage crop.

In fact, most of the grain that’s been coming off over the past two weeks is dry — sometimes too dry to test.

However, evidence of the wet summer is not hard to find.

The water table in the RM of Monet is as high as it’s been for decades, say locals.

Not far from Ellis’s farm, the water in White Bear Lake is close to four metres deep.

That’s deeper than it’s been since the 1950s, according to what the old-timers are saying.

The RM has been pumping water from ditches for much of the sum-

BRIAN CROSS PHOTO

mer, and many roadways are impassable, lying under millimetres or sometimes metres of water.

So how’s harvest shaping up in the wake of the prairie monsoon?

“Our lentils suffered pretty bad, but our canola looks really good,” Ellis said.

“Durum? It looks like there’s going to be lots of it but probably not really good quality.”

Farmers in the area are reporting lentil yields of five to 30 bushels per acre, depending on drainage and local rainfall amounts.

But quality is generally poor.

Close to 10 percent of Ellis’s seeded acreage will be lost to flooding.

“Out of the 6,700 acres that we seeded, there’s at least 500 acres, and I might go as far as saying 600 acres that we won’t combine, just because its completely under water.”

Canola fields — those that aren’t flooded — are producing well, with

average yields of 50 to 65 bu.

Durum crops will also produce high yields, but top quality durum will be a rarity in the area.

Most of the durum that’s been taken off is grading No. 4, No. 5 or sample.

Further south, Kyle-area farmer Justin Allport offered a similar assessment.

“For the cereals, it looks like good high bushels and for the canola, it’s high bushels as well, but the quality of the durum won’t be the greatest … and the lentils were quite a disappointment,” said Allport, who was harvesting barley Sept. 16.

“I’d say lentil yields were average to below average but poor quality.”

At the family’s main farmyard 13 kilometres north of Kyle, Allport recorded 550 to 575 mm of rain this summer.

Some of their fields received more than that, keeping machine operators on their toes and tow

ropes at the ready.

“We’ve been hitting wet spots this year that we never knew we had,” said Allport, a fourth generation farmer.

“Since our family started farming in this area, we’ve never seen it this wet. We’re hitting potholes and water that we’ve never encountered before.”

Despite the obvious harvest challenges, dry harvest weather arrived just in time, he added.

There will be a harvest this year, and probably a big one.

However, with quality concerns looming, no one’s willing to say how the 2016 crop will stack up.

“I won’t know for two more months,” said Allport.

“It’s been an interesting year, to say the least, but we won’t know how things shape up until the smoke all clears.”

gent justification is splitting hairs and could get growers in trouble.

“Whether you put it on the soil or the plant itself isn’t the issue. It’s the residue that’s the problem regardless of how it got there,” he said.

Cooper said growers who do not want to deliver to WGEA or COPA member companies or who applied the product on the crop have alternative delivery options.

“We’ve been finding some markets ourselves and the fact is we have substantial markets for it and we will be helping farmers connect to those markets this year,” he said.

Those markets are in Canada and the United States where MRLs are in place for quinclorac.

Brian Innes, vice-president of government relations with the Canola Council of Canada, said the council has asked the federal government to push for the establishment of a quinclorac MRL at the next CODEX meeting.

But it is not a certainty because every year more dossiers are put forward by governments than can be reviewed.

“There is some horse trading that goes on,” he said.

T h e Ca na d i a n g ov e r n m e nt attempted to get quinclorac on the CODEX list last year but there were problems with the dossier.

BASF, which is the registrant of the active ingredient, is conducting additional research to address those problems.

Innes said if quinclorac is identified as a priority at the upcoming CODEX meeting, there should be an MRL in place by the end of 2017.

That would give exporters a level of comfort and confidence because World Trade Organization countries like China rely on CODEX MRLs when they don’t have one of their own.

China tends to wait for a CODEX MRL to be established before creat-

ing one of its own. It recently published a list of 1,058 draft MRLs including 13 for products used on canola. All 13 had MRLs identical to the CODEX MRLs. Cooper said it would be great if a CODEX MRL was established in late 2017 but he said the council and the grain companies should be developing markets for quinclorac-treated canola before then.

“I don’t think farmers ought to have to wait until then to be able to take care of their cleaver problems,” he said.

brian.cross@producer.com

QUINCLORAC LOOPHOLE » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 That is because they used the product as a pre-emergent burndown herbicide rather than applying it directly on the crop.

“The declaration as it currently stands is saying that it is sprayed on canola and this isn’t sprayed on canola,” he said.

Cooper said they have conducted tests on the canola seed from fields that received a pre-emergent treatment of quinclorac and there was no residue.

“That would suggest that canola can be marketed anywhere,” he said.

Cooper estimates about one million acres were sprayed with quinclorac this year.

Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the WGEA, said it is up to growers to determine whether they are complying with the declaration.

“If spraying (quinclorac) on the soil prior to the canola emerging

means to them that they can declare that they have not used it on their canola, then I guess that’s the way they declare it,” he said.

But they will be held liable for damages if their canola contaminates the system, so they better have high risk tolerance.

“Are they comfortable that it’s not going to result in a quinclorac residue showing up on a canola shipment? If they are, they’re probably in the clear,” said Sobkowich.

Rick White, chief executive officer of the Canadian Canola Growers Association, said growers need to fully understand what they are signing and adhere to the declaration because it is a legal document.

“If they are not sure, they should have an honest conversation with the grain company or the buyer who’s going to be buying that from them to make sure there is no misunderstanding and no problems,” he said.

White worries that the pre-emer-

PRICE OUTLOOK

Storm looms for hog producers: analyst If supplies exceed packer capacity, prices could be ‘the scariest we’ve seen in 16 years’

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The hog price outlook is dire, but most western Canadian farmers should be OK, says analyst Tyler Fulton.

“We could see the writing on the wall,” said Fulton about why most of the independent hog producers Hams Marketing represents locked in fourth quarter prices that were much higher than today’s lossmaking levels.

“There was a lot of uptake.”

Fulton is director of risk management with Hams Marketing.

Prices for the Chicago December lean hogs futures contract are low, falling to about US$48 per hundredweight from $56 at the start of September, and following midsummer prices of about $64 per cwt. In 2014, hog futures peaked at more than $120.

I think the packers will figure out a way to get through it, but when you look at the price concessions that they’re expecting right now, it’s a grind.

TYLER FULTON ANALYST

Fulton said the price situation will not improve soon, with another period of weakening more likely.

However, prices could get catastrophically worse if anything causes hog supplies to exceed packer capacity.

“It’s definitely the scariest we’ve seen in 16 years,” said Fulton.

Maximum demand for hogs is what economists describe as “inelastic”,which means that once the maximum is reached, there is zero demand from packers for more.

Exceeding packer capacity can cause brutal price collapses, as in 1998 when there were more pigs coming to market than shackle spaces at slaughter plants.

Prices that year fell to nearly zero, with some farmers not being able to sell their pigs at all, until the excess hogs had been slaughtered.

Many producers lost their farms in the aftermath of that crash.

Hog supplies now appear to be large enough to tickle the underside of the capacity maximum, but not quite exceed them, which is good news, Fulton said.

“I think the packers will figure out a way to get through it, but when you look at the price concessions that they’re expecting right now, it’s a grind.”

The market was given a fright recently when a 10,000 per day hog plant in the U.S. briefly closed because of a fire in its rendering facility. Taking any capacity offline would push things over the edge.

“A plant of 10,000 a day is the difference (between sufficient and inadequate capacity),” Fulton said.

“That’s the margin for error here.”

The fourth quarter of every year is almost always the time of greatest worry. That is because hogs put on weight faster during the cool fall weather, boosting market-ready supply.

Also, a succession of holidays near the end of the year crimps slaughter capacity, so any constraints in the system tend to become obvious then.

That’s the situation this year, with hog production rebounding after the bull market prices of the past couple years.

Fulton said Hams Marketing began extending forward price hedging for its clients back in January, when the coming surge of live pigs could be anticipated.

Instead of hedging six months out, producers were locking in prices almost a year out, all the way to December.

That covers most production from most producers, but still many producers will have some hogs not pre-sold, and some producers might have done no hedging at all.

That leaves them in a pickle, because two wildly different sce-

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL

INNOVATION

Weaker hog prices are on the way but many producers have already hedged some production at higher prices available earlier this year. | FILE PHOTO narios could unfold in coming weeks. If packer capacity isn’t reached, locking in today’s prices perhaps won’t have been necessary and better prices could be grabbed from short-term volatility rallies.

But if the absolute limit of packer capacity is reached, then today’s prices might look attractive in hindsight.

Fulton said he pegs the risk of a meltdown at less than 25 percent, but said it is a real risk.

While farmers having to take today’s prices won’t be happy, packers are reaping strong returns, with many receiving a profit of US$45-$50 per head. That could increase another five percent, Fulton said, based on the present glutted situation.

This is a reversal of the situation a few years ago, when farmers were making huge profits while the packers bled lots of red ink.

HOG PRICES FACE PRESSURE Hog prices in the fourth quarter are often the lowest of the year as market-ready numbers swell and carcass weights rise as hogs thrive in the cool fall temperatures. Last year’s slaughter numbers came close to industry capacity in the quarter and more are expected this year.

Hog prices are already among the lowest in years and worries are rising about the health of the market later this year.

PRODUCTION ESTIMATE

Analyst thinks USDA soy numbers too high The department has history of over-estimating year-end soybean stocks

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Darin Newsom remains bullish on soybeans despite the United States Department of Agriculture boosting its production estimate and ending stocks number in its September outlook.

DTN’s senior analyst thinks soybean stocks will wind up much tighter than the current estimate. If he is correct, that would support soybean prices and the value of competing oilseeds such as canola.

“They did something crazy, they increased production to over 4.2 billion bushels, an absolutely huge number,” he said of the USDA’s September report.

That is based on a record national average soybean yield of 50.6 bu. per acre, which pushed ending stocks up to a burdensome 365 million bu.

Newsom isn’t buying it. He said the USDA has a long history of grossly over-estimating soybean ending stocks in its initial reports.

In later reports it tends to sharply revise down its ending stocks forecasts. For instance, in the latest report it dropped the 2015-16 end-

ing stocks to 195 million bushels, which is 61 percent lower than its first estimate in May 2015.

The same thing happened the previous year when the final ending stocks estimate was 60 percent lower than the first estimate and the year before that when it was 69 percent smaller.

“It’s ridiculous. It’s insane,” said Newsom.“ The numbers are a crock. Just because they’re big didn’t make them bearish.”

Based on the USDA’s dismal track record, he forecasts the 365 million bu. estimate will eventually shrink to 145 million bu.

“That’s a very tight situation.”

In fact, if demand comes in a little stronger or supply a little smaller than the USDA forecasts, it could get extremely tight.

“We have zero room for error again,” said Newsom.

The market appears to agree with him. If it believed production was 4.2 billion bu. and carryout will be 365 million bu., the futures spreads would be bearish, but they are not.

“It’s just not there and it hasn’t been there for years, so what this tells me is the market is far more bullish,” he said.

Most farmers have not hedged their soybeans. Newsom said this more bullish outlook means soy is probably a better crop to hold than corn.

Although many in the market have likely factored in a smaller carryout than the USDA forecasts, he believes there is potential for a soybean rally because some market players haven’t figured it out.

“Investment traders need to get more interested in buying soybeans, realizing that the situation is tighter,” said Newsom.

“That’s what should eventually push the market higher.”

If that happens, it will give the entire vegetable oil complex a boost.

“If soybeans can get turned around and start to go higher, I think that would lend support to the canola market,” he said.

Newsom thinks the adjustment will likely happen on the supply side of the USDA estimate.

The USDA has already trimmed the average yield to 174.4 bu. per acre from 175.1 in the August report. He believes the department will drop it further in October along with soybean yields. sean.pratt@producer.com

VOMITOXIN ISSUES

Quality durum price up as fusarium cuts milling supply WINNIPEG (Reuters) — The swaying durum crops on Dave Marzolf’s farm look lush and even, bearing full kernels of the wheat used to make pasta. Some is made into couscous.

On a closer look, though, Marzolf’s durum kernels are infected with fusarium, a disease that produces a toxin known as vomitoxin and has forced him to sell the crop for animal feed.

“It’s garbage,” Marzolf said by phone from Central Butte, Sask.

“Big crop, poor quality — now what?”

Durum, which thrives in desertlike conditions of dry, hot days and cool nights, is processed into semolina flour that is used to make pasta. Canada, the world’s top durum exporter, ships much of it to Italy, Algeria and Morocco.

Vomitoxin and other problems resulting from excess rain have also spoiled crops in France, the Europe-

an Union’s biggest durum exporter.

Expectations of a huge North American durum harvest weakened prices by one-quarter year over year, but industry officials have said they are likely to climb as harvest progresses and it becomes clear how much of the crop will not meet milling standards.

Canada’s 6.8 million tonne durum crop is its largest on record, topping last year’s harvest by 1.4 million. The 2.5 million tonne U.S. crop is the country’s biggest in six years, exceeding last year’s harvest by 250,000 tonnes.

However, much of it is unsuited for food production after fusarium spread in humid conditions. Millers aim to limit vomitoxin levels, which can affect flavour and processing performance and pose a risk to humans if ingested in high amounts.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if onethird of the (Canadian) crop would

not be able to move into milling or food channels,” said Jerry Klassen, Winnipeg manager of crop trader GAP SA Grains and Produits.

However, pasta eaters may not need to swallow higher prices. The world durum supply is expected to rise by 1.3 million tonnes to 46.7 million in 2016-17, exceeding demand of 37.9 million, according to Agriculture Canada.

THE WORLD DURUM SUPPLY IS EXPECTED TO EXCEED DEMAND

BY ALMOST

nine

million tonnes Top-quality durum sold at Saskatchewan grain elevators for C$251.87 per tonne as of Sept. 7, up more than $2 per tonne from a

week earlier but 24 percent lower than a year ago, according to the provincial government.

Supply is enough now, but prices are likely to rise as the harvest progresses, Klassen said. The price s p re a d ha s a l re a d y w i d e n e d between the top quality grade and third best to $100 per tonne, depending on the location in Canada, he said. Normally,it is $30.

In North Dakota, the biggest U.S. durum grower, quality looks good based on current samples but is likely to drop as vomitoxin-infected samples arrive from the northwestern part of the state, said Erika Olson, marketing specialist at the North Dakota Wheat Commission.

Cash prices in the state, which are down 14 percent year over year, are likely to strengthen this autumn as farmers hold off selling high-quality supply, she said.

“The question is, what is the level of the problem and how will the

mills and elevators be able to deal with that,” said Jim Meyer, president of Italgrani USA, which owns mills and grain elevators.

The uncertainty has nudged cash bids higher for U.S. durum, and sharp increases may occur in certain locations, said Courtney Boryski, a trader at Hansen-Mueller in Nebraska.

North American millers, including Treehouse Foods and Ardent Mills, a joint venture of Cargill Inc., CHS Inc. and ConAgra Foods Inc., can mix varying qualities to meet the U.S. standard for vomitoxin. “(But) you can only blend so much,” Olson said.

France’s farm ministry estimated last month that the 2016 durum harvest will be 1.4 million tonnes, down 20 percent. Quality problems in central France would mean that production suitable for food may reach only one million tonnes, one French durum broker said.

WHEAT SUPPLIES

Price slump curbs U.S. wheat acres while Russia expands Currency values can make the difference in the popularity of growing wheat.

Farmers harvesting in Kazakhstan, shown here, are enjoying good wheat prices because of their weak currency, but American farmers will likely cut hard red winter plantings this fall because the strong U.S. dollar is weighing down their price. | REUTERS PHOTO

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. farmers are poised to plant winter wheat on the smallest area in more than a century this autumn as tumbling global prices and fierce competition push the world’s former top supplier into retreat.

However, even that shrinkage is unlikely to dent massive global supplies or help bolster prices. The world wheat harvest hit a record this year, sending nearby Chicago Board of Trade futures to 10-year lows below US$4 a bushel.

The strong U.S. dollar is adding to the pain for U.S. farmers as it makes the exports of competitors such as Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan more attractive. Russia is projected to overtake the United States and the European Union as the top

wheat exporter for 2016-17 .

Farmers in Oklahoma, the No. 2 winter wheat producing state, face potential losses of $55 an acre for wheat in 2017, according to Kim Anderson, an agricultural economist at Oklahoma State University.

In Kansas, the biggest winter wheat state, mountains of harvested grain flank roadsides. Cash prices have slid below $3 a bu. “Farmers are optimistic people,� said Doug Keesling, who farms 2,500 acres in central Kansas. “But that optimism wanes low in times when every day you drive by and see piles of grain that are not moving.�

Because the low prices are almost certain to mean losses for all but the most efficient operators, farmers will rein in the amount of land they are willing to plant with wheat.

Plains farmers may shift to winter canola or spring crops such as corn and soybeans. In cattle areas some will plant wheat for grazing pasture. “Right now the market is not doing anything to encourage additional wheat plantings,� said Justin Gilpin, chief executive officer of the Kansas Wheat Commission.

Forecasters including Farm Futures Magazine and Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist for INTL FCStone, say plantings of hard red winter wheat, the largest U.S. class, could fall five percent from last year, when American farmers seeded the fewest winter wheat acres since 1913.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture issues its first estimate of winter wheat plantings in January.

Meanwhile, some major U.S. competitors are taking the opportunity to plant even more wheat .

In Russia, farmers plan to raise wheat area by six percent from a year ago to 42.9 million acres, agriculture ministry data showed. “Russian farmers are seeding more wheat due to positive margins in rubles,� said Dan Basse, president of AgResource Co. A senior Ukrainian agriculture official said last month that farmers would likely raise winter grains area to 18 million acres from 17.3 million last year. The area under winter wheat could reach 16 million acres.

In France, which is Europe’s top producer, plantings for 2017 should approach 12.4 million acres, slightly less than the record 12.8 million seeded for 2016, said Remi Haquin of FranceAgriMer. However, a drought that has slowed French winter rapeseed seeding could limit wheat as well, Haquin said.

Weather might also swing decisions in the U.S. The Plains has had good rain this month, which could entice farmers to try wheat despite the poor price outlook. After planting, Suderman said, “they can always decide to wait until spring and see what their options are.�

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT

FEDS MARK LOW

BEEF WEAKENS

HOGS DOWN

After some false starts in August, it appears that the summer low is being set with the prospect of a fall rally developing.

Volume was too low to set cash averages in Canada, but the Chicago futures market rallied and cash prices in the United States developed late in the week at higher levels.

Dressed sales Sept. 16 in the northern U.S. were US$2-$6 per hundredweight higher than the previous week, while southern regions traded $5 higher on a live basis.

Both Alberta packers were buying.

Dressed bids were C$215-$217 per cwt. delivered, while live bids were in the upper $120s.

Increased numbers of grid-priced cattle in recent weeks moderated competition in the cash market.

Packers in Canada and the U.S. are processing more cattle and are enjoying strong operating margins.

The beef pipeline is not backing up thanks to exports. Weekly exports to Sept. 3 totalled 6,853 head, the most since the start of May. U.S. processors are enjoying the best third quarter margins since 2008, so they should continue a strong slaughter pace even as cutout values weaken.

Fed cattle supplies should moderate in coming weeks, providing support to prices.

U.S. boxed beef prices fell with Choice at US$186.27, down $2.87.

Select was $178.83, down $3.80. U.S. beef prices are down about 19 percent from this time last year.

This should help retailers lower the price of beef, but it will face stiff competition from cheap pork.

Canadian boxed beef prices were volatile recently but AAA stabilized at $242.60 by Sept. 10, and AA was $235.59, 19 percent below last year.

Abundant market-ready hogs pushed prices lower and the Chicago contract hit a 10 month low.

Cooler fall weather is allowing hogs to gain weight faster. Also, hogs backed up a bit early this month when one large U.S. plant temporarily closed. Those hogs are now hitting the market.

The U.S. national live price average for barrows and gilts was not available Sept. 16. It was $44.98 Sept. 9.

U.S. hogs averaged $53.63 on a carcass basis Sept. 16, down from $58.21 Sept. 9.

The U.S. pork cutout was $80.34 per hundredweight Sept. 16, down from $81.67 Sept. 9.

T h e e s t i m a t e d U. S. w e e k l y slaughter for the week to Sept. 16 was 2.359 million, up from 2.084 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 2.287 million last year at the same time.

In Canada, the Sept. 16 Signature Three price was C$136.89 per 100 kilograms, or $62.09 per 100 pounds, down from $144.29 or $65.45 the previous week.

BISON The Canadian Bison Association said desirable weight Grade A bulls sold up to C$6 per pound hot hanging weight. U.S. buyers offered US$4.50 depending on exchange rates, quality and export costs.

Grade A heifers sold up to C$5.75.

U.S. buyers are offering US$4.30.

Animals outside desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

SHEEP Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported that 1,067 sheep and

126 goats sold Sept. 12.

Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $170-$230 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $190-$225, 70-85 lb. were $184-$213, 86-105 lb. were $181$209 and 106 lb. and heavier were $190-$198.

Wool rams were $82-$110 per cwt. Cull ewes were $75-$113.

Hair lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $130-$187 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $180-$205, 70-85 lb. were $170-$190, 86-105 lb. were $180$196 and 106 lb. and heavier were $185-$195.

Hair rams were $85-$100 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $75-$115.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 1,447 sheep and lambs and 225 goats traded Sept. 12.

Light lambs sold $10-20 lower.

Those 80-110 lb. sold barely steady.

Lean sheep traded steady, while thicker type sheep sold $5-$10 cwt. lower. Light kid goats sold lower.

NON-FED MARKET FALLS Demand has softened and more salvage cows are going to auction.

D1, D2 cows ranged $85-$98 to average $91.58 per cwt., down $3-$4. D3 cows ranged $75-$88 to average $81, down $3. Rail grade cows ranged $175-$180 delivered.

Butcher bulls fell $3.67 to average $116.94. Western Canadian slaughter for the short Labour Day week ending Sept, 10 fell 33 percent to 3,791 head.

Weekly exports to Sept. 3 were steady at 4,597 head.

FEEDERS WEAKEN Alberta calf prices were $1.50$3.50 lower, while yearlings stabilized and rose modestly.

On average, steer-heifer prices were down almost $1 on the week.

T h e c a l f- y e a r l i n g s p re a d i s extremely narrow.

Calf volumes at auction were light, and most were for fall delivery.

Auction volumes rose 44 percent from the previous week but were 61 percent lower than last year, when poor pasture conditions and strong prices encouraged early marketing.

Weekly exports to Sept. 3 dipped to 1,206 head.

PRAIRIE ON FEED There were 576,652 cattle in Alberta and Saskatchewan feedlots Sept. 1, down nine percent from the previous year and among the lowest since the report began. Placements in August were 80.377, down 18 percent from the previous year and the smallest since 2000.

Ma rke t i n g s i n Au g u s t w e re 157,819 head, up 16 percent from last year and the most for the month since 2012.

Cattle-on-feed inventory has been lower than year-ago the past two months. This could increase demand for bunk replacements.

Calf prices are anticipated mostly steady to slightly higher as volumes and quality improve.

CRAIG’S VIEW

CONSOLIDATION

Mega mergers raise alarm over shrinking competition

E

ight will become four.

That is the prospect if all the agricultural mega deals in the crop input sector are completed.

Farmers wonder what the loss of competition will mean for their costs and access to seed and pesticides.

Can such concentrated ownership in the seed business be good for agriculture and the billions of people it feeds?

Last week, Bayer announced a friendly takeover bid for Monsanto for US$66 billion, the biggest in a string of recent merger announcements, following on the heels of the $59 billion Dow-DuPont deal and the $43 billion ChemChina-Syngenta deal.

And in the fertilizer and farm retail supply sector, there is the $36 billion AgriumPotashCorp deal.

The players see consolidation as a solution to their current problems.

Falling agricultural commodity prices and tight farm incomes have taken their toll on sales of crop inputs, and profits at the multinationals are lagging even as the costs rise to develop new products and get them through the regulatory systems.

“Consolidation in the industry is a prerequisite to further investment in R&D,” said Monsanto chief executive officer Hugh Grant.

Indeed, Grant and Bayer head Werner Baumann painted their proposed merger as the response to farmers’ call for greater and more rapid innovation and more sustainable farming solutions.

However, competition is the strongest incentive to invest in product development. If competition shrinks in a market that has a high cost of entry for new players, should farmers believe the comforting words of the merging mega corporations?

Many producers are already expressing concern, fearful that rapidly rising seed costs will soar further as a result of consolidation.

The Bayer-Monsanto deal’s effect in Canada’s canola sector would be particularly sobering. If it goes through without change, the combined corporation would control 95 percent of the herbicide tolerant canola market through its Roundup Ready and Liberty Link systems.

Western Canadian farmers, who are in the thick of harvest, have had little opportunity to consider the implications or how they should react.

These deals will go through government competition review processes. The BayerMonsanto deal alone will navigate competition laws in 30 jurisdictions.

That will take time, allowing farmers and their representative groups to work out what they like and don’t like about these mergers and make their views known to the companies, regulators and politicians.

At the same time, we must also examine the barriers facing new, innovative players that want to enter the seed and crop protection business.

In addition to the expense of researching and developing improved products, any company that wants to proceed to market with its innovations must go through costly and lengthy regulatory processes. They are needed to ensure the products are safe for people, animals and the environment.

However, the costs often result in the innovator selling out to one of the mega corporations that have the required deep pockets.

The new Liberal federal government has promised to develop an innovation agenda. That work must include making regulatory processes more affordable because without new entrants, we will cede a key part of the food business to a handful of all-powerful corporations.

MPS BACK TO WORK

Ag agenda include new policy framework, grain transportation CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

T

hey’re back.

MPs returned to Parliament from their summer recess to a political agenda jam packed with committee meetings, policy points and a to-do list several miles long.

The Conservative leadership race is well underway, with the latest developments triggering a shuffle in the official opposition’s front benches. Former House speaker turned Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer announced he was relinquishing his role as House leader to form an exploratory committee to consider whether he should run for party leader. The

shakeup means Manitoba MP Candice Bergen, who long championed the end of the long gun registry, is now House leader, with Alberta MP Chris Warkentin taking over as deputy House leader.

Prior to the shuffle, Warkentin had served as the party’s agriculture critic and was the lone prairie MP on the House agriculture committee. His successor is David Anderson, who before entering politics farmed outside of Frontier, Sask.

Anderson is no stranger to the agriculture file. He acted as parliamentary secretary for the Canadian Wheat Board in former Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government from 2006-13 and played a key role in the Conservatives’ mission to ensure marketing freedom for prairie grain farmers. During the grain transportation crisis of 2013-14, Anderson championed the concerns of short-line shippers who were struggling to get rail cars.

He remains party critic for human rights and religious freedoms.

Meanwhile, no leadership candidates have been declared in the ongoing race to be NDP leader, where outgoing leader Tom Mulcair remains interim leader.

On the policy front, several key files, including agriculture ones, are at the top of the agenda.

The House transport committee is kicking off its fall sitting by looking at grain transportation and the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act. The committee’s study comes at the same time that Canada’s grain industry is preparing to move what is expected to be a big crop in Western Canada.

The committee’s witness list includes testimony from the top officials in the Canadian Transportation Agency and several grain groups, including Grain Growers of Canada, Cereals Canada and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. Former transport minister David Emerson, who headed the fast-tracked review of Canada’s Transportation Act, is also set to testify.

Meanwhile, Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay is in the committee hot seat at international trade on border issues affecting Canadian agriculture goods. The Sept. 20 meeting comes after Conservative MPs called an emergency summer meeting to pressure the Liberals on diafiltered milk and spent fowl, two files which the Liberals have promised they are working on in conjunction with industry.

MacAulay is also expected to make an appearance at the House agriculture committee (at his earliest convenience) on the diafiltered milk file.

The agriculture minister is also slated to be a key note speaker at the Canadian Meat Council’s annual meeting in Ottawa at the end of September alongside cabinet colleague Health Minister Jane Philpott.

As for the agriculture committee, it will hit the road in October for two weeks of study on the next agriculture funding framework.

The committee will spend one

week in Western Canada with stops planned in Winnipeg, Calgary, Chilliwack, B.C., and Vancouver.

The second week, after Thanksgiving, will include stops in Guelph, Toronto, the Niagara region of Ontario, Saint Hyacinthe, Que., and Kentville, N.S. The trip is expected to cost $73,432.50.

As for non-agriculture files, the Liberals face an uphill battle with the provinces over their new national climate change strategy. The yetto-be-developed policy is needed for Canada to meet its international targets agreed to during last year’s Climate Summit in Paris. The provinces are set to meet on the file in October.

Meanwhile, the Liberals are expected to propose reforms on access to information, innovation, infrastructure, transportation, electoral reform and immigration.

Buckle up, it’s going to be a hectic ride.

Pipelines full of politics

ost of us take for granted that the majority of our roads and highways are publicly funded and built at cost in order to serve the overall public good.

There is no clamour asking why those roads are not being given away to private companies to let road barons profit from them. For good reason.

If anything, recent events in northern Manitoba should prove to us that like highways, the fate of crucial rail lines should not be in the hands of private companies.

The Port of Churchill and the Hudson Bay Railway that serves it have real potential to benefit the communities they connect to — if they are publicly owned and managed to serve Canada’s greater public interest.

Both are vital infrastructure with important and irreplaceable roles in both our economy and social fabric.

Churchill is the Prairies’ only ocean port. It provides an additional route for grain transportation. Using this corridor reduces pressure on the West Coast and Thunder Bay to help prevent logistical bottlenecks when there is a bumper crop.

From a farmers’ standpoint, the port can also counteract the inefficiencies caused by vertically integrated grain companies shipping exclusively to their own grain terminals at Canada’s other ports.

In spite of all these benefits, the future of the port and the railway is uncertain.

Omnitrax abruptly closed the Port of Churchill on July 25, and the fate of the rail line that connects it

Ottawa should take ownership of the Port of Churchill and Hudson Bay Railway so future generations can benefit from its export capabilities and economic spinoffs. | FILE PHOTO to the rest of Canada is now up in the air.

Today’s situation is the result of a dangerous domino effect set in motion by Omnitrax’s negligence combined with a series of missteps by different governments.

It can be traced back to the privatization of Canadian National Railway in 1995, the give-away of the Hudson Bay rail line to Americanowned Omnitrax in 1997 and the removal of the farmer-run single desk Canadian Wheat Board in 2011.

To secure the port’s benefits for future generations of Canadians, the federal government should take back ownership of the port and the railway. As well, it needs to take measures to ensure the port remains viable for the communities connected to the rail line and farming communities that are within its catch basin.

Northern communities, local workers, businesses and farmers

who rely on the line must be part of the decision-making for the publicly owned entity that replaces Omnitrax.

As they do with roads and highways, the federal and provincial governments must commit to investing in the rail line and port infrastructure in perpetuity. There should never be risk of potential selling off of line assets.

An adequate grain catch basin fed by both CN and Canadian Pacific Railway must be secured to bring grain to the rail line serving Churchill. Storage facilities must be secured, and if necessary, built, to ensure grain is available to feed the port during its operating season.

The railway must be set up to actively facilitate rapid grain movement in years with large crops.

A l l o c a t i n g ra i l c a r s t o s e r v e Churchill must be a priority during its active season.

However, the mere existence of

the needed facilities is not enough.

Grain movement is essential for port viability. Therefore, a grain logistics oversight system must be in place to make all the parts work together effectively.

A farmer-first orderly marketing agency is needed to secure a strong export market for grain handled through Churchill, along with good prices for farmers.

Logistical oversight, together with the marketing agency, would ensure the port’s viability by meeting or exceeding a 500,000 tonne annual throughput.

In short, we need to replicate the function of the single desk CWB to ensure that the railway and the port are viable by providing a consistent and reliable flow of grain through the port. Assurances from private grain buyers are paper thin and do not benefit farmers’ bottom line.

GRAIN QUALITY

Don’t be hasty in selling fusarium infected grain HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

G

rain quality is a huge issue this fall, and it’s creating a great deal of stress for growers and buyers.

Based on estimates from its network of volunteer crop reporters, Saskatchewan’s agriculture ministry is projecting that half of the province’s durum crop will be No. 4 and 5, mainly because of fusarium.

There was still a lot of harvesting to be done when that estimate was made, so the percentage could end up better or worse, but it’s a strong indicator of the magnitude of the problem.

Wheat will have many of the same

issues, but overall will fare better.

Lentils are the other big problem with limited markets for the bottom grades at this point.

In the case of durum, yields are often astounding. Producers talk about 60 and 70 bushel per acre crops, but in some cases the fusarium level is so high the production has limited value.

There are stories of producers with huge quantities that appear unsalvageable who are planning to dig big pits and bury the stuff to get rid of it.

It’s difficult to know whether this will actually happen or whether it’s just talk born of frustration. Usually, there is some economic value even if it’s very low and takes a long time to realize. A knee jerk reaction to discard high-fusarium durum might not be the best decision.

However, uncertainty causes frustration and there’s no shortage of uncertainty.

Each bin is likely to have a different fusarium count, and that count will vary from one buyer to the next

because grading is not an exact science. The vomitoxin level is what should really matter, and that is not a perfect correlation with the fusarium percentage.

More uncertainty comes as marketers try to deal with the high volume. Some companies will not take deliveries of durum with more than two percent fusarium. Others have set even lower tolerances.

High fusarium grain is unlikely to be exported because of its low value, so it needs to be blended into the domestic feed and ethanol markets. Blending such a large quantity of product will take time, raising the prospect that producers will need to store some of this grain for two or three years before it can be sold.

Can the grain be upgraded by cleaning? Will sieves and gravity tables reduce the fusarium count?

How many of the good quality kernels would need to be sacrificed?

Would cleaning make economic sense?

How will crop insurance deal

with the issue? More uncertainty.

Producers with high yields could still be in a claim position once the quality factor from crop insurance is applied. It will take time for crop insurance to monitor market prices and come up with quality factors that reflect the serious levels of fusarium damage.

Farmers can usually make a reasonable estimate of where they’re at financially once they have binned and/or bagged all their grain. This year, crop value and cash flow timing are tough to estimate for a lot of producers,.

Some marketers recommend producers test their grain for vomitoxin so they have better information to provide buyers.

The best advice may be patience.

Marketing avenues often take time to develop. Even very low quality grain usually finds a home eventually.

t is unfortunate that pipelines moving oil and gas don’t always do their job. Inevitably, a leak or explosion occurs at a most inconvenient time.

With federal government decisions pending on pipelines heading east and west from Alberta, Husky Oil’s 230,000 litre spill into the North Saskatchewan River July 20 is high on people’s minds.

The government of Saskatchewan oversees 25,000 kilometres of pipelines in the province, yet the regulatory environment is wanting.

How can this be? Pipelines are regulated by the province’s Ministry of Energy and Resources. We learned from the provincial auditor in 2012 that pipeline regulations did not comply with the law. In 2014, we learned the issues hadn’t been addressed. And they still haven’t.

Shipping oil by pipeline is more than four times safer than by train, according to the Fraser Institute, yet pipelines are often opposed by environmentalists.

Saskatchewan has a larger responsibility other than safety — which should be enough on its own.

A colleague at The Western Producer tells me that wheat is traditionally known as 10 percent protein and 90 percent politics. (The numbers have changed slightly over the years.) Pipelines and politics are about the same.

If Canada is to take full advantage of its energy resources, it must be able to ship oil from Alberta by pipeline to a port. Approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitmat, B.C., is on hold pending courtordered consultation with First Nations. It may never be built, given Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s ban on oil tanker traffic on the northern coast of British Columbia, which is a way of killing an unpopular pipeline without opposing pipelines in general.

Energy East, a proposed conversion and expansion of a pipeline from Hardisty, Alta., to Saint John, N.B., is under federal scrutiny. It would transport 1.1 million barrels of oil a day from Alberta and Saskatchewan to port. Construction is planned for 2018, pending approval.

How does a federal politician support Energy East when Saskatchewan — unlike Alberta — can’t inspect pipelines properly? The pipeline is already an east-vs.-west issue, with Quebecers opposing it.

It’s embarrassing that opponents can point to Saskatchewan as a reason for their distrust, and astonishing that the province has not moved faster on a serious safety issue. brian.macleod@producer.com

ORGANICS INSPECTED To the Editor: On Aug. 25, there was an editorial called “Organic feed imports glitch in production guarantee.” The editorial encourages more producers to produce organically, which is an important message and we thank you for covering it.

However, there were some inaccuracies. After reading the article, it sounds to me as though there was a misconception by the authors on how the Canadian Organic Regime regulates imports, which would have misled the reader.

In order for an organic animal that has been fed imported organic grain to remain certified organic

under the Canadian Organic Regime, they must be fed certified organic feed which has been certified under the Canadian Organic Products Regulations, or under the regulations of our trading partners that we have an equivalenc y arrangement with. This is limited to the organic regulations in the EU, the U.S., Switzerland, Japan, and Costa Rica.

For an animal in Canada to be fed an imported organic grain, the producer in Canada must be under the oversight of a certification body, which is accredited by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. The imported organic agricultural product may be certified to the Canadian Organic Standards or be certified in accordance with an equivalency arrangement.

Where an equivalency arrangement is in place, organic products would be certified by a certification body accredited by that country and recognized by Canada. Therefore, it is true that imported grain can come from other countries, but they must be certified to either the Canadian, American, European, Swiss, Japanese or Costa Rican regulation, which means oversight and guarantee by those countries, and not by the country of origin as stated in your article.

Your article also states that, “In Canada, it’s up to the manufacturers to certify feed organic, but it is not possible to verify organic practices in countries where corruption is manifest”. This statement is also incorrect, as it is not the manufacturer who certifies the feed organic,

IS PORT A LOST CAUSE? To the Editor: Recently Omnitrax, the owner of the Port of Churchill, said it was closing the port.

How could we have come to this, where a private company can dictate to farmers — and essentially to the whole nation — that a port outlet would be closed because of their financial needs?

Does anyone consider the benefits farmers receive when shipping through Churchill? Who is looking out for their needs and their financial considerations? How about the financial needs of all the communities and businesses serviced by that northern rail line and port?

The media has overlooked who caused his problem. It was the Harper government and former Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, who caused this problem by destroying the Canadian Wheat Board.

The CWB had a mandate to maximize revenue to farmers, which is why it used Churchill to ship farmers’ grain. Most years the CWB shipped 90 percent of the grain that went out of Churchill because it made more money for farmers.

With the death of the CWB, the Port of Churchill dies too. Since none of the grain company oligarchs own the port, they would rather use their own terminals, where they can make more money.

Ritz and his Western Canadian Wheat Growers shills knew the port would die, so they bribed the grain companies with $9 per tonne incentive to ship grain through Churchill as a short-term cover-up after they killed the CWB in 2011.

With the incentive ending soon and Ritz out of power, the grain companies, and specifically Omnitrax, decided to pull the pin on the port. With the big grain companies refusing to use Churchill, one can’t necessarily blame Omnitrax for shutting the port down.

How does this fit with our national agricultural and transportation policy. Oh yeah, we don’t have one.

What about our sovereignty of the North? Now we don’t even control our only northern deep-water port and soon we won’t even have one.

If one looks who to blame for this wreck, one can clearly target the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba Tory governments, the Western Canadian Wheat Growers, SARM, The Hudson Bay Route Association, and APAS for not opposing the Harper government in its destruction of the CWB. Everyone was told of the lost economic opportunities if this happened, and the loss of the Port of Churchill is only one of them.

As the Saskatchewan minister of agriculture said, maybe Churchill is a lost cause. I would say the only lost cause is our farm leaders.

PORT OF CHURCHILL

Churchill group writes off port’s season after July closure Port owner OmniTrax Canada suspended shipments from the northern port and a new investor has not been found

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Hudson Bay Route Association says it has given up hope of resurrecting the 2016 grain shipping season at the Port of Churchill.

President Elden Boon said there is virtually no chance that any grain will be shipped through the port this year, the first time that’s happened since the port’s grain terminal opened.

HBRA had hoped the shipping season could be salvaged despite a surprise announcement in July by port owner OmniTrax Canada confirming that grain shipping activities had been suspended.

“We were hoping to get the 2016 shipping season back on track here to some degree, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen,” Boon said last week.

“We’re going into the last month of shipping pretty soon and there’s really nothing concrete happening. We’re running out of time and nothing’s going to happen until an ownership change … becomes clear. The general consensus among our association is that the 2016 shipping season is not going to happen.”

OmniTrax Canada has offered few comments about the reasons behind the suspension since it announced it in late July.

It is widely assumed that declining grain volumes and low ocean freight rates at other export locations were the main factors behind the decision.

OmniTrax has been seeking a buyer for the port and for the Hudson Bay Railway that serves it since last year.

Discussions between OmniTrax and a group of potential First Nations investors began last year and are still ongoing, but few details are available.

In the meantime, HBR service between The Pas and Churchill has been reduced to one train a week.

Philip Proulx, press secretary for Navdeep Bains, the federal minister of innovation, science and economic development, said the lines of communication are open between Ottawa and local stakeholders.

“On Churchill, our government, led by Minister Bains, is in ongoing discussions with cabinet colleagues and local leaders as we monitor the situation closely and evaluate different options,” Proulx wrote in an email.

“Officials from our office continue to work closely with these local leaders on a weekly basis.”

Historically, Churchill’s annual grain volumes have been relatively small.

Annual shipments usually amount to roughly one percent of Canada’s total grain and oilseed exports.

The port, which used to be owned by the federal government, was acquired by Denver-based OmniTrax in the late 1990s. The sale was facilitated by the Liberal government led by Jean Chretien.

A subsequent decision by former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper to end the Canadian Wheat Board’s single-desk marketing powers served another blow to the port’s viability.

Before the elimination of single desk grain marketing in 2012, the wheat board was easily the port’s most consistent shipping customer, accounting for 80 to 90 percent of annual volumes.

Until recently, Richardson International was also a significant shipper, but the expansion of Richardson’s export facilities in Vancouver led the company to curtail its export program through Churchill.

The port remained a viable shipping alternative for grain growers located in northeastern Saskatchewan and northwestern Manitoba, even after the elimination of singledesk marketing.

Loaded producer cars had been

scheduled to make the trip from The Pas to Churchill earlier this year, but Boon said he didn’t know if those cars had been rerouted.

Ryan McKnight, a grain merchant with Linear Grain, said the suspension of Churchill’s grain operations will affect his business.

Linear operates a grain elevator in Arborfield, Sask., and has used the Hudson Bay route on numerous occasions over the past few years.

“It (the suspension) has affected our business quite a bit. For us, we struggle with export access through bulk terminals … so we’ve shipped lots of wheat cars up there (since 2012),” McKnight said.

“It’s a lot cheaper freight, so we’re able to get quite aggressive in originating wheat and make pretty good margin on that wheat.”

McKnight said Churchill was by far Linear’s best shipping route, based on proximity to port and price.

Linear’s competitive position visà-vis larger line companies has diminished since the suspension of Churchill’s grain program, and the company has been forced to work harder to find alternative shipping routes.

“From a business perspective, we benefitted greatly from Churchill,” McKnight said.

being the free enterprise guy that I am, I realize that it’s probably not an economically viable location.”

According to Quorum Corp., which runs the federal Grain Monitoring Program, nearly 30,000 tonnes of grain are still in storage at the port. It is unclear who owns the grain or what will happen with it.

“You can’t find any information out about the sale or the shipping program … so it’s been really frustrating for our group,” Boon said.

“Our feeling now is that the 2016 shipping season is probably not going to happen … but we definitely don’t need to … (miss) two seasons.” brian.cross@producer.com

GRAIN HANDLING

President proud of service with Canada Beef

Viterra plans elevator in Wadena, Sask.

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Rob Meijer leaves Canada Beef with no regrets and a lot of pride in what the organization achieved in five years.

“There are times in life when it is just the right time and it is a chapter in my career that I can put in the database and say that was a good five years and see what’s next,” he said on his last day of work Sept. 16.

“I had an amazing opportunity to work for an industry that was trying to find a better way to do something globally.”

Meijer joined the Canadian Beef Cattle Research, Market Development and Promotion Agency when it formed in August 2011. Formerly with Cargill for more than seven years, he was part of the merger team when the Canada Beef Export Federation and Beef Information Centre came together. The agency is also responsible for administering the $1 national checkoff.

As president, Meijer was responsible for overseeing Canada Beef’s mandate of market development and beef promotion.

He worked with a strong board of directors representing all parts of the industry to build a business plan and promote beef at home and abroad.

“We fundamentally changed the way marketing, branding and business development is done not just in Canada but globally,” he said.

He helped build a strong recognizable brand for Canadian beef and was also instrumental in building the Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence that opened in Calgary last year.

He believes the beef centre is his greatest accomplishment. It welcomes the beef industry to Calgary where industry experts offers education and promotion to Canadians and international guests.

“Without that centre, we were just talking the good talk. We are not talking anymore, we are adding value,” he said. “One of the toughest things to do in these trade associations is to create value when you don’t own anything.”

Canada Beef does not own cattle or meat but is responsible to producers and taxpayers to promote it, build value and develop a maple leaf brand that consumers recognize. He hopes the business culture is maintained to continue building the reputation of Canadian beef.

“I don’t think there is an ag association out there that is finely tuned as we are today at Canada Beef when it comes to strategy, planning, matrixes and accountability.”

He holds master’s degrees in economics and international agribusiness management. A father of two, he and his wife, Hilary, plan to stay in Calgary.

The agency board plans to immediately look for a replacement. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Viterra is building a new highthroughput grain terminal at Wadena, Sask., about two hours east of Saskatoon.

In a Sept. 15 news release, the company announced its intention to begin construction on the new elevator this fall.

Completion is expected in two years.

The facility will have a storage capacity of 34,000 tonnes, and will be able to load up to 156 rail cars through a loop track.

“We’ve worked closely with farmers in Wadena and surrounding areas for many years, and we’re excited to be renewing our commitment to them through a new, world class grain facility that will meet their needs in today’s competitive operating environment,” said Kyle Jeworski, Viterra president and chief e x e c u t i v e o f f i c e r f o r No r t h America.

“By revitalizing our presence there, we will provide customers with convenient access to the superior service, marketing opportunities and advice that makes us an industry leader.” brian.cross@producer.com

REGULATORY REFORMS

Alta. wheat growers call for rail improvements The Alberta Wheat Commission says railways have too much power and propose changes to the transportation system solutions to our grain transportation system, which will ultimately advance Canada’s economic growth,” said commission chair Kevin Auch.

“The current imbalance of market power allows railways to dictate operational terms instead of operating in a competitive commercial arrangement.”

In a submission to federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau, the wheat commission urged Ottawa to implement changes that would give shippers the ability to negotiate penalties and contract terms equal to those that are being imposed by the railways.

It said the Emerson Report failed to recommend a mechanism to address the imbalance in market power between railways and shippers.

The Alberta Wheat Commission is renewing calls for regulatory reforms that it says will lead to a more equitable relationship between railways and grain shippers.

In a Sept. 15 news release, the commission called for improved railway accountability through the introduction of reciprocal monetary penalties that could be applied against grain shippers or railway companies for failure to uphold the terms of a shipping contract.

It issued the news release a day before the federal government wrapped up its consultations on the Canada Transportation Act review.

KEVIN AUCH ALBERTA WHEAT COMMISSION

sents Alberta’s wheat growers, has put forward three major recommendations aimed at improving the grain transportation system: • implementing service level agreements that include mandatory reciprocal penalties

for failure to perform to binding contract terms • retaining the railways revenue cap to protect producers against excessive freight rate increases • improving interswitching provisions that compel railway companies to move rail cars for

a competing railway company in areas that are served by only one railway operator “AWC was pleased with the government’s actions towards extended interswitching measures from Bill C-30,” it said in its news release.

“Moving forward, we ask that the extended interswitching limits be made permanent and improved efficiencies are reviewed, such as increasing interchange capacities or extending limits to 250 kilometres to enable modern day train efficiencies.”

Auch said the commission’s recommendations would enhance Canada’s grain transportation system and allow Canada’s farmers to move grain in a more predictable and efficient manner. brian.cross@producer.com

FLOOD MITIGATION

Assiniboine River study survives changes in government The Manitoba forage association says building dikes and ditches is pointless without understanding water flow

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Two governments have fallen, but the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association’s watershed analysis program has survived and is striding forward.

Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler recently joined federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay in supporting the $1.7 million data analysis program called Aquanty, which will provide ongoing analysis and understanding of the Assiniboine River Basin.

“With the changes in two governments we were about 14 months in the genesis of the project,” said Henry Nelson, MFGA’s vice-chair and head of the analysis project.

The forage association is oversee-

ing the project not only because it proposed it but also because forages are one way to reduce the impact of floods and droughts.

“We can build ditches and dikes and so forth, but that’s not going to alter the flow of the water, the water pattern,” said Nelson.

“It’s not until we get back onto the landscape and start managing it at that level that I think we’re going to be able to make real effective and efficient change.”

In Manitoba, flood fears have always tended to focus on the Red River, but the massive floods along the Assiniboine River in 2011 and 2014 shone a harsh spotlight on the lack of understanding about how the Assiniboine watershed works.

T h e A q u a n t y p ro g r a m w i l l assemble millions of “data points” within the basin and provide analy-

sis of how the water is flowing from land into the Assiniboine, Qu’appelle and Souris rivers.

Nelson said the first three million data points should be established by the end of this year, and further levels of analysis will then be built on top that can be processed by high-capacity computers.

The project was originally supported by the federal Conservative government and the provincial NDP government, but both governments have fallen since signing on.

Having Manitoba’s new Progressive Conservative government join with the federal Liberal government in continuing the support was a relief.

“We are quite pleased,” said Nelson. ed.white@producer.com

— Diary of Alda Dale Randall, 1920

A

lda Dale Randall braved the harsh conditions of northern Alberta, gave birth in a tent and often went hungry.

Her granddaughters, Lisa Randall, Heather Killeen and Kitty Eichman, marvel at such female homesteaders of a century ago.

Families hunted for their food, cleared land without tractors and used livestock to pull plows.

“They worked 16 hours a day just to put food on the table,” said Lisa Randall.

Born in 1887 in Ohio, Alda Randall attended Wittenburg College and worked as a teacher before meeting and marrying a Wyoming cowboy and homesteading at High Prairie, Alta.

Detailed accounts of Randall’s experience during 1920 are documented in a journal that was donated to the Provincial Archives of Alberta (PAA).

It became part of a three-dimensional mixed media art exhibit created by artist and former archivist Marlena Wyman.

The PAA exhibit included a painting of Randall peering out of a tent in the rain.

“The artist transposed her thoughts and sketches into paintings,” said Lisa Randall.

Added Killeen: “That was grandmother and what she went through.”

Eichmann said it must have been especially hard for an educated city woman who wrote of wishing to see an opera or having more books.

“She missed the finer things of life,” she said.

Her husband, Guy, was often away working or finding food, leaving a pregnant Alda to care for children inside a tent. The weather didn’t co-operate with snow coming in June and returning by September that year.

“A lot of the time they were very hungry,” Killeen said.

Neighbours and local natives often shared their food and expertise on how to survive in such a harsh place, but there were numerous setbacks.

They built a cabin where there was no water and had to start from scratch at another site.

In the midst of these hardships, Randall found time to keep a diary, write fiction, shoot and develop photographs and make crafts.

She had concerns about her children’s diet of moose meat, pota-

WANTED: PERSONAL RECORDS OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES

4-H Canada has launched a new online program for its more than 350,000 alumni across Canada.

Former members can register online at Club1913.ca, an online hub for alumni who are interested in connecting and networking with other alumni.

It will help them find opportunities at the local and national level in leading clubs, serving as mentors or volunteers and sharing their expertise with 4-H youths.

4-H alumni can also share stories of the rural youth program in their lives through #4HClub1913.

4-H Canada has more than 24,000 members and 7,400 volunteers.

For more information, visit 4-h-canada.ca.

Alberta’s provincial archives is interested not only in the records of public figures but also in records that show what individuals and families did in their daily lives, including materials they have created, used or kept during their life.

These records provide insight into the interests, occupations and life of an individual and reflect the values of the larger community.

Records of interest: • letters and correspondence • photographs • home movies, films and videos • sound recordings • diaries, scrapbooks and journals • sketchbooks Source: Provincial Archives of Alberta.

toes and bread and their education, which she had to provide in the absence of schools.

The children had to be herded outside, regardless of the weather, when their mother was in labour.

The granddaughters say this life took its toll on her.

“She didn’t accept it all the time,” Eichmann said.

“Grandma was a force, but on occasion it would become a little too much for her and she would go to bed for days.”

She likely suffered from depress i o n , p e r h a p s p o s t-p a r t u m depression, from giving birth to seven children.

Life improved in later years when

the family moved closer to town.

There, Randall started a museum and art classes and became active in farm women’s groups, but Guy died at age 51 in 1939 when she still had children at home.

“I could never have lived like my grandmother lived, gathering birch bark and making crafts,” said Eichmann.

“She had no choice. She carried on. There was a job to do and she just did it.”

Alda Randall’s daughter, Leila Lawrence, donated two of her mother’s diaries to the provincial archives in 1994.

“She wanted to keep her memory alive for future generations,” Killeen said.

Leslie Latta, the archive’s executive director and provincial archivist, encouraged others to do the same.

“If you have records in the attic or basement, we encourage you not to throw them out before considering moving them to the archives,” she said.

“What’s of most interest to us is the everyday life. They identify how people lived their lives.”

Latta said so many records of life today are digital, such as photos taken on cellphones that could be wiped out in an instant.

“Records captured in print actually have a longer life,” she said. karen.morrison@producer.com

TRAFFIC SAFETY DAY More than 230 children younger than 15 were killed or injured as pedestrians or cyclists each year between 2010 and 2014 in Alberta.

Following too closely was listed as the most common driver error involving collisions with school buses.

W

ild blueberries and highbush cranberries were abundant in all northerly parts of Western Canada this season. It was too wet for wild strawberries and red blackberries, which rotted on the plant and had low yields in northern Saskatchewan.

In the southern part of the province, chokecherries and saskatoons had a good crop of plump, juicy berries.

This fall and winter, pull foraged berries out of the freezer and turn them into jams and jellies.

Water bath canning is the pre-

ferred method of preservation because topping the jars with melted paraffin wax is no longer considered safe. Sterilizing jars is no longer essential but they should be washed and warm.

Berries with a large pit such as highbush cranberry and chokecherry are more suited to jelly making. Other berries can be made into either jams or jellies.

Jam is simple to make. Cook with sugar or honey until thickened, and use the jar and water bath process. Making jelly takes more effort.

Wash and put berries into a large pot and add water to barely cover.

Cook until berries are soft, about 15 minutes. Mash and then pour them into a damp jelly bag.

Any medium weave fabric can be used for a jelly bag. A tea towel stitched on three sides with a channel stitched into the top of the bag for a drawstring works well.

If the weave is too loose, pulp will pass through with the juice and create a cloudy jelly.

When cooking jelly, determine if

it is ready in one of two ways.

Place a plate in the freezer and when you think the juice is ready, place a teaspoon of it on the plate. If you can tilt the plate without it running, the jelly is ready.

Another way is to use a metal spoon. If the mixture sheets off the spoon in two droplets, it is ready.

Turn off the heat and let juice cool slightly so you can scoop off the foam before jarring the jelly.

The ideal consistency of jellies and jams depends on the correct balance of fruit pectin, acid, sugar and water. The natural pectins and acids decrease during ripening. A mix of under ripe and ripe berries is best.

Berries that are rich in both pectin and acid include high bush cranberries, red and black currants, gooseberries and pincherries. They can easily be made into jellies without added pectin. If you find they are not gelling enough, add lemon juice.

FARM LIVING » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Bunchberries are rich in pectin but low in acid. Their flavour is mild and the juice can easily be mixed with a low pectin berry to make a jelly without added commercial pectin. Remember to add lemon juice.

Wild strawberries, raspberries and red blackberries and low bush cranberries are rich in acid but low in pectin. Wild blueberries and chokecherries and rosehips are low in both pectin and acid.

Test the juice for pectin by measuring one tablespoon (15 mL) of rubbing alcohol into a saucer. Add one teaspoon (5 mL) of juice and mix. Do not taste. If a clot forms that can be picked up with the tines of a fork, it will make a good jelly.

Use one to one and a half cups (250-375 mL) of sugar for every cup (250 mL) of juice.

ON THE FARM

Hard work keeps family grain farm afloat Son is eager to keep the fifth generation farm in the family despite the challenges

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WILLINGDON, Alta. — Ample rain hasn’t dampened the Porozni family’s optimistic outlook for harvest this year.

Jeff, while stepping off the combine during pea harvest in August to check under his machine, said peas in this field are expected to go above 40 bushels per acre, which is down from the usual 56.

“There’s too much moisture, but we can’t control that,” he said.

He estimated the family would need another day to harvest peas before moving onto cereals and canola, which were expected to yield above average.

The family plants 5,000 acres to field peas, canola and wheat and has hayland for the local cow-calf market.

Jeff, 28, is the fifth generation of Poroznis on this farm in a black soil zone started by Romanian immigrant George Porozni. He is intent on keeping the farm in the family but conceded he wouldn’t be able to swing it financially without his parents, Greg and Laura.

“I always had a passion for it. I like the fact I’m feeding the world,” Jeff said.

A previous generation of Poroznis had purebred Herefords, and Greg and Laura had a commercial herd of 125 head, which they dropped in 2007. “ T h e b oy s a n d I s a i d t hat ’s enough,” said Laura.

After work as a pharmacy technician this day, she arrives with a pizza dinner for Jeff, Greg and their hired man.

“I do a lot of meals beforehand,” she said.

Farming was a steep learning curve for Laura, who was raised in

town. She helps where needed and can operate machinery but is careful not to take on too much.

“Don’t learn new jobs, because then it’s yours,” she said.

The couple once lived on the farm but now commute from their family home in nearby Mundare.

Laura said town life made it easier for the boys to be involved in sports such as hockey.

Greg is heavily involved in farm organizations such as Cereals Canada and the Alberta Wheat Commission, so he travels a lot, but Laura said he never leaves during busy times.

“The farm comes first.”

She said farming has provided them with a good life.

“It’s given us a decent life but it’s been hard. It hasn’t come easy,” she said, noting Greg worked as a petroleum engineer before farming full time.

Greg said office work did not suit him.

“I am a free enterprising guy who likes to be our own bosses,” he said.

Greg’s farming alliance with his brother didn’t work out, but Jeff thinks that won’t be the case with him and his brother, Adam.

Jeff would welcome his brother’s help at seeding and harvest and thinks they would work well together if Adam chose to return to farm.

Jeff said Adam, 26, is working on completing training in power engineering and may not have the same passion for farming. Instead, a good off farm wage might satisfy him.

“It’s not an easy lifestyle,” said Laura.“When they work, they work.”

They have scaled back their hours to cap time spent in the field and to

THE POROZNI FAMILY Willingdon, Alta. ensure they get six hours of sleep each night.

“It’s a grind. If you’re going to go

for 10 days or two weeks straight with four hours sleep, you are a walking time bomb,” said Greg.

Laura said Greg is also easy to get along with, citing the long-term service of their workers.

“Hired men are not there to do the awful jobs. Greg is there for that, too. He’s a very hands on kind of guy.”

The family defers marketing tasks to the professionals for optimum results, seeing value in hiring a marketing consultant.

“There’s a cost but there’s net benefit,” said Greg.

“We are in the commodity game and it’s difficult unless you are

lucky or a genius to nail the top of the market all the time.”

He said half the crop will be sold off the combine this year with good prices.

“We try to do our best and maximize our production year over year,” said Greg.

The couple just bought more land, but they are beginning to talk more as a family about the future.

“I’m not ready to not work,” said Laura.

The couple enjoyed an African safari recently and have plans to travel to Egypt this winter. karen.morrison@producer.com

Continuous education key to success: farmer

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WILLINGDON, Alta. — Transportation and trade are the two big issues facing farmers, says the past chair of Cereals Canada.

Greg Porozni, who now serves as the association’s producer representative from the Alberta Wheat Commission, recently saw Russian wheat blended with Canadian wheat on a Singapore-Indonesia trade mission.

“That’s the new norm, it’s not going to be an anomaly. It doesn’t matter how it’s branded or where it comes from,” he said.

“We are not going to have 100 percent of the market share, but a 40 percent share with 70 countries.

To me, that’s a win. As long as we’re there, that’s a positive.”

Russia, where a large crop is expected this year, has a market advantage because of its access to

the Black Sea and its opportunity to ship at a lower cost, he said.

In Canada, farmers and grain elevators are accountable for shortfalls and late deliveries, but the railways are not, he added. “ The bottleneck is railways because they are a monopoly, and they can do what they want whenever they want,” Porozni said.

“That’s where we have to build accountability.”

He suggested reciprocal penalties as one solution.

“It’s like a chain. If there’s a broken link, the chain is not going to work properly, so we have got to have this chain working all the time.”

Porozni was first asked to sit on the Alberta Canola Producers Commission for a year when he was 31.

“I felt after that term, I had more CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

»

FARM LIVING » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE to offer,” he said.

That led to serving on the Canadian Canola Growers Association board, the Canola Council of Canada and Cereals Canada.

“We represent farmers,” he said.

“I always do what’s best for the farmer, to increase profitability and sustainability when talking about policy decisions affecting the industry.”

Porozni said these “big picture” groups have made inroads and been improved by having farmers sitting on organizations such as the Western Grain Elevator Association board.

“Grain handlers listen to what farmers said, whereas in past they did their own thing.”

Porozni, a veteran of numerous international trade missions, said they are not as glamorous as they might seem.

“You’re travelling constantly. I had

one day off in 15, eight countries in 15 days,” he said of a recent trip.

In addition to 30 years of farming experience at Willingdon, Greg completed both the NAIT petroleum engineering technology and the Lakeland College vocational ag programs.

He considers education a constant process and keeps updated on news, farm technology and trends between meetings.

His other involvements have included the Western Canada Wheat Growers Association, the Agriculture and Food Council and the Alberta Grains Council.

Porozni is content with the contributions he has made and now feels ready to wind things down.

“Why continue on boards if not providing more value?” he said.

“Let someone new come on board and bring fresh new ideas and keep the ball rolling.”

Subsurface drip irrigation pays for Ont. farmer Corn grower with sandy soil details the costs and yield benefits behind the 67-acre installation project

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DELHI, Ont. — Corn grown in this southeastern Ontario region, on what’s known as the Norfolk sand plain, is a virtually writeoff — except where a handful of farmers installed subsurface drip irrigation systems.

It was difference between disaster and success for Todd Boughner, manager of Judge Farms, and Jeff Lipcsik. The two spoke about their experience during a Sept. 7 tour hosted by Vanden Bussche Irrigation.

“From what you can see out here this year, we’re going to recoup about half of our (subsurface drip irrigation) install costs,” Boughner said. “And in the past couple years, we’ve gotten about 70 extra bushels a year out of this.”

Peter White ,who works at the University of Guelph’s Simcoe Research Station, has been keeping tabs on the Judge Farms project.

It’s located on what’s known locally as a “blow sand” farm where 67 acres are irrigated using subsurface drip irrigation.

The irrigation lines are laid about 38 centimetres deep and 112 cm apart. The line emitters, which spoon feed water to the crop, are 60 cm apart. Irrigation water, which comes from a spring-fed pond, runs through a filtration system

before being directed with a threephase, 30-horsepower pump to headers along six zones and then to the plastic irrigation lines.

There are 50 pounds of pressure in the main lines and 12 to 13 lb. along the irrigation lines.

Boughner said the farm’s corn crop was a writeoff in 2012 because of drought conditions, which led to the decision to install the system that fall.

White said the irrigated acres at the farm yielded 260 bu. in 2013 compared to a respectable 165 bu. on non-irrigated areas.

Results were similar at the Simcoe Research Station where the university has a small subsurface drip irrigation system and were repeated in 2014 and 2015.

This year, it’s estimated the irrigated acres at the Judge site will yield close to 200 bu., compared to 35 bu. in the area relying upon rainfall alone.

From what you can see out here this year, we’re going to recoup about half of our install costs.

TODD BOUGHNER JUDGE FARMS MANAGER

From the beginning of May until the end of August, less than 150 millimetres of rain fell in the area.

In a typical year there’s about 350 mm.

“We didn’t get any help from Mother Nature,” Boughner said.

Boughner said that with the success of the 67-acre installation, Judge Farms plans to increase its irrigated acres. The farming operation, operated by brothers Jim and Robb Judge, has a corn and soybean cropping focus along with

CORN ON IRRIGATED ACRES WILL YIELD

200 bu. per acre 35 bu. per acre COMPARED TO RAINFALL ALONE AT

hogs and broilers.

Boughner said the farm is allowed to use 1.4 million litres a day from the pond under its water-taking permit but only 880,000 litres have been taken. More than 25 mm of water has been delivered on a weekly basis, with irrigation events occurring daily.

White said it’s important to maintain some water in the root zone. In bone dry soils, it would quickly move further down into the soil profile.

The system has also been used occasionally to supply small amounts of nitrogen to the corn.

That reduces the amount of nitrogen that needs to be applied before seeding or side-dressed.

There appears to be a yield benefit and far less chance of nitrogen being washed into waterways in the event of a large rainfall.

Lipcsik said he now has 106 acres irrigated with his system. Like Boughner, he said the system means less nitrogen needs to be applied up front.

“This year, I hope to get 220 to 225 bu. per acre,” he said. “On my kind of ground, I think I’m just going to grow corn on corn. Corn provides the best opportunity to use the system. It needs a lot of water.”

Marc Vanden Bussche, vicepresident and general manager of Vanden Bussche Irrigation, said most irrigation systems, including

subsurface drip irrigation systems, cost about $1,500 per acre to install.

Boughner put the Judge Farms cost at $1,400 per acre, where there was an existing pond and access to three-phase electricity. Vanden Bussche suggested the system might best be installed after a crop like wheat because it requires a considerable amount of time and labour.

Some subsurface drip irrigation installations in the United States are still working after 25 or more years, White said.

A trencher is used for the main lines and headers. Specialized equipment is available to lay the irrigation lines.

Rebecca Shortt, a specialist with Ontario Agriculture, also spoke during the tour.

“They’re begging guys in Iowa and Kansas to put in this type of system because they’re a lot easier on the water table,” Shortt said.

Subsurface drip irrigation systems lose 15 to 25 percent less water to evaporation compared to centre pivot systems and 40 to 50 percent less than large, travelling gun systems common to the Norfolk sand plain.

Shortt said Ontario is blessed with a large supply of water. While just one percent of the fresh water in the Great Lakes is renewable, only one percent of the renewable resource is being used.

CROP RESEARCH

Yield study tallies gains from inputs, seed technology Analysts determined that plant science innovations provided an economic benefit of $7.1 billion annually

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Pesticides and modern seeds are popular with farmers because they protect and enhance yields.

While it might be unclear exactly how much these technologies contribute to yield, an Ottawa consultancy says it’s a lot.

In the case of canola, pest control products and modern plant breeding may increase yields by more than 54 percent, said RIAS Inc., a policy research and economic analysis firm.

“Plant science innovations contributed over $7.1 billion (annually) to Canada’s field crop production. Much of the gains came from substantially higher canola production, which benefitted from $3.7 billion in higher production,” said RIAS. RIAS conducted an analysis for CropLife Canada, an advocacy group for the crop inputs sector.

The study looked at the value of plant science innovations for Canadians and the economy.

RIAS found that field, fruit and vegetable crop yields are substantially higher because of pesticides and modern plant breeding. Those higher yields create jobs, drive exports and add billions to Canada’s GDP. The RIAS report made several other observations: • The increased agricultural output from plant science innovations generates more than $7.5 billion in gross domestic product for Canada. Broken down, that’s $4 billion in added value by Canadian farmers and $3.5 billion in added value from more business for suppliers to Canadian farmers.

• Plant science innovations create about 111,000 jobs.

• To produce the same amount of crop, without the technology, Canada would need 50 percent more agricultural cropland.

• Canadians could pay about 55 percent more for their food if the plant science innovations were not part of agriculture.

Annually, the technologies save the average Canadian household an estimated $4,400 for food costs.

In the report, RIAS said higher yields are primarily responsible for the economic benefits to Canada. To estimate the yield impact of the technologies, RIAS analysts compared existing yields to a scenario where pesticides and modern plant breeding were not used.

To do this, RIAS evaluated conventional crop yields and organic yields.

“The difference in yields between the current situation and the counterfactual (organic), by crop and type of technology, were estimated

YIELD BENEFITS The RIAS study calculated a percent of yield for major field crops in Canada that can be attributed to plant science innovations. The chart is based on yields from 2010-11.

36.5% 17.7% 22.8% 14.6% 23.9% 8.7% 20% 10%

based on 22 studies from academic literature, supplemented with input from experts from the horticulture industry,” the report said.

The consultancy not only compared organic and conventional yields, it estimated yield gains for specific crop science technologies.

Analysts lumped the technologies into two categories.

• pest control products like insecticides, fungicides and herbicides.

• modern plant-breeding methods “Modern plant breeding refers to a whole suite of tools and technologies, including but not limited to genetic modification, used to improve plants by identifying genes, introducing beneficial genes, modifying existing genes and removing detrimental ones,” CropLife Canada said in an email.

In total, RIAS said Canadian field crop production was worth $22.1 billion. Plant science innovations were responsible for 32.2 percent of yield, which works out to $7.1 billion annually.

Attributing yield gains to a broad suite of technologies, such as pest control products, can be difficult because experiments usually isolate one practice and study its impact on yield.

RIAS said it relied on a few studies to estimate the benefits of crop protection products, such as a 2012 paper by Popp et al. that determined that insects, weeds and diseases cause crop losses of 30 percent in corn, soy and cotton.

To evaluate the impact of modern plant breeding, RIAS looked at several studies on the production benefits of biotech crops, including a 2014 paper by Brookes and Barfoot.

The RIAS paper lists all the studies considered for its report. It can be found at www.croplife.ca/ about-us/publications. robert.arnason@producer.com

RURAL POPULATION

AN OCCASIONAL SERIES THAT EXPLORES THE IMPORTANT “WHAT IF” QUESTIONS FACING MODERN CANADIAN AGRICULTURE

There was a time when small towns with 200, 500 or 700 people were an essential part of prairie life.

They were places to buy groceries, get the truck fixed and talk to neighbours over a beer at the Legion. Many small towns are shrinking in population.

What if all the towns with less than 1,000 people disappeared in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta? What would that mean for rural people and rural life? Would the Prairies be better off in the long run?

In late August, reporter ROBERT ARNASON visited Cypress River, Man., to find answers to these questions.

STAYIN’ ALIVE Residents of Cypress River say their tiny community is still thriving — for now

BY ROBERT ANSON BRANDON BUREAU

C

YPRESS RIVER, Man. — There’s something unsettling about standing in the middle of a main street.

Maybe it’s the sense of breaking a cardinal rule of childhood or the human instinct to avoid danger.

But on a Tuesday at 3 p.m. in Cypress River, Man., the uncomfortable feeling faded in a few minutes because there were no vehicles on Railway Avenue.

In fact, it was possible to stand on the road, near the town’s grocery store and credit union, for 12 minutes before a truck appeared from the west.

Cypress River may not have traffic, but the community has a surprising number of businesses for a place with 160 to 200 people.

The town, located on Highway 2

about 100 kilometres southeast of Brandon, has a building supply store, a motel with maybe 10 rooms and a restaurant, a post office, an electrical contractor, a motorcycle and ag supply shop and a Paterson grain elevator across the road.

It also has a hockey arena, curling rink, a memorial hall and a United Church big enough for 80 parishioners.

In late August, the lawns and gardens were well tended. It’s obvious at first glance that locals are proud of their town.

But to an outsider, it’s hard to understand why anyone would want to move to Cypress River.

There is no school, no skateboard park, no bakery and no doctor, and it’s likely 100 km to the nearest Tim Hortons.

YOU’VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE HIGH-YIELDING, MID-MATURITY SOYBEAN, EXCELLENT STANDABILITY AND LEADING EMERGENCE

Treherne, 30 kilometres to the east, looks more appealing. It has a golf course, schools, a health centre, a pool and splash pad, a car dealership and a veterinarian.

A visitor might see few redeeming qualities, but Linda Truelove looks at it differently.

Cypress River is her home and the thought of living elsewhere, even a town with more amenities, is disturbing.

“If our town disintegrated, I wouldn’t know what to do,” she said.

“The roots are here. This is where my grandparents’ homestead is,” she said.

“It (the town) is such a part of me I couldn’t be anywhere else.”

THE DECLINE OF SMALLER TOWNS Population trends from 1991 to 2011 show that smaller prairie towns are losing people, while communities with populations higher than 5,000 are gaining residents.

Number of communities* by population class in 1991, and number of communities that changed population class in 2011:

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE A number of locals who spoke to The Western Producer on and off the record cited the same reason for living in Cypress River: they like knowing everyone in town.

“Having that bond with people,” said Lauralee Wytinck, who has lived in Cypress River for 24 years.

“We all look out for each other.”

Georgette Hutlet, known in town as someone who gets things done, said it would be difficult to replicate that sense of connection if she lived in another community.

She loves bumping into friends and relatives at the Cypress River grocery store, even if it extends a 10-minute shop into 45 minutes.

“If I go to (Brandon) for a chiropractor appointment … or go to the mall, I leave there with a sense of loss because I haven’t had that personal connection (with someone familiar),” she said.

“Your identity is where you’re from…. This (community) is what holds us all together.”

Hutlet admitted there are a few people in Cypress River who she doesn’t know, which is worrisome.

She would prefer to have a personal connection with every person in town.

But in the long run, is it possible over the next 30 years to sustain a place like Cypress River based on social connections and personal history? Don’t towns need things such as ballet classes, soccer teams, coffee shops, golf courses and art programs to attract and hang onto newcomers?

“That is the question. I’m not sure,” Wytinck said.

New people are moving into Cypress River. Houses don’t remain on the market for long because prices are relatively low, property taxes are a few hundred dollars a

year and newcomers may not mind driving 40 km to a nursing or teaching job in a larger community.

A couple who moved to town three years ago said they enjoy the quiet, slow pace lifestyle in Cypress River.

However, Truelove worries the new people will never develop a deep, personal connection to Cypress River. It will simply be a place where they have a house.

When the current generation of 60-somethings becomes old, the volunteers who organize farmers markets and craft sales and support the United Church may dry up and the town might lose its community.

“Can we sustain it if 80 percent of the people who move in (don’t) participate in the activities of the town?” she said. “It should be sustainable if you have the people with the roots, but we’re losing these people with the roots.”

Hutlet is more confident about the future.

She thinks the town will survive if Cypress River can hang onto its businesses and continue to meet the needs of locals.

Meeting needs now is one thing, but community leaders have to respond to changing needs, Hutlet said.

As an example, Hutlet and others launched the Prairie Wind music festival in town in 2012. The summertime event has continued for five years and is now a local tradition. Older residents may have no use for a day of loud music, but it could be a meaningful attraction for newcomers.

“I would hate to think that anyone is living here and unhappy because they don’t have what they want (here).” robert.arnason@producer.com

Bedroom communities — those within 100 kilometres of a major city — are thriving on the Prairies, while towns 100 kilometres or farther from cities are not.

Geography specialists and rural experts define the proximity of a community as its Metropolitan Influence Zone (MIZ).

A community’s MIZ has an impact on its population growth.

• Strong MIZ: 30 percent or more of residents commute to the nearby city for work.

• Moderate MIZ: Five to 30 percent of people commute to the city for work.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Why bigger can be better to attract new residents People are more likely to move to a rural community if the town has a desirable package of amenities

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

R

ose Olfert has heard the story, or versions of the story, many times.

Residents of small towns on the Prairies have told Olfert, a University of Saskatchewan professor emeritus and rural development expert, that the world will end if their town loses its school or its church or its community centre.

However, the world somehow carries on when the school does close and families move to a larger town to be close to the new school or the children are bused to bigger centre.

More often than not, the children and parents are happier. “ ‘The quality of teachers is much better. There are so many more friends and activities,’ ” Olfert said, recalling a conversation with a parent. “ ‘It’s unbelievably better. I could not see that, at all, before our school closed.’ ” That doesn’t mean every family in every Saskatchewan town with 100 to 500 people would be happier in a community with 4,000 or more, but there is something beneficial about size.

“There are many advantages to having a place with 4,000 (people) and it’s hard to dispute that,” Olfert said.

“Then you can get a critical mass of businesses next to each other … and have enough employment

opportunities.”

All towns and villages are different, but statistics suggest that larger rural centers are growing. In contrast, populations are shrinking or flat in towns with less than 500 people. In Saskatchewan, according to census data: • Battleford had 3,685 people in 2006 and 4,065 in 2011.

• Moosomin had 2,262 in 2006 and 2,485 in 2011.

• Climax had 182 in 2006 and 182 in 2011.

• Fox Valley had 295 in 2006 and 260 in 2011.

If the trend continues and towns with fewer than 1,000 people do disappear over the next 30 years, the local history in those communities would be lost and lives will be altered.

However, would rural residents be better off in the long run if such towns disappear? Would the Prairies become more sustainable if the tiny communities faded away and larger towns with 4,000, 8,000 or 12,000 people became bigger, stronger and more vibrant?

Ray Bollman, former chief of Statistics Canada’s Rural Research Group, doesn’t have answers for those questions, but he admits that villages with 100 to 200 people are no longer essential. “ Those places would not be expected to grow … unless it’s a bedroom community and you could drive to a place with 10,000 or 20,000 (people),” he said.

“Their function is just a retirement place and there will be fewer people to retire to those places. So those (towns) will continue getting smaller…. Their function was really important 40 years ago … but their function has changed completely and we (should) not expect people to want to live there.”

There are optimists in small towns and villages, but it’s hard to imagine a prosperous future for such places, Olfert said.

“They keep thinking, ‘we can grow our community to be a really large community,’ ” Olfert said. “(But) the evidence suggests the problem will solve itself … because the next generation isn’t going to live there…. They will gravitate towards the big centres.”

Can bigger towns attract newcomers?

T h e Ca na d i a n A g r i c u l t u ra l Human Resource Council reported in March that the country has a shortfall of 59,000 people for jobs in primary agriculture. The agricultural labour shortage could expand to 114,000 people by 2025.

Beekeepers, hog farmers, feedlot operators and grain farmers across the Prairies are struggling to find employees. As well, many agrifood businesses, particularly slaughter plants, cannot get people to work and live in rural areas.

Temporary foreign workers are

now doing many of those jobs, but the federal government would prefer if those foreigners became permanent residents of Canada.

It’s been difficult over the last 30 years to convince immigrant families to live in rural Canada, but a newcomer to Canada might take a job around Dauphin, Man., for example, if the community was thriving.

Sean Markey, a Simon Fraser University associate professor who specializes in rural development, said people are more likely to move to a rural community if the town has a desirable package of amenities.

“Do you have dance programs for kids? Tell me about the local school…. My son loves playing soccer,” Markey said.

Bollman agreed that people and families are seeking a “package,” including jobs for both spouses.

However, he’s not sure if a prairie town of 5,000 people can attract and retain newcomers to Canada.

to end up anywhere but Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto,” she said.

She said people in a town of 100, 200 or 500 might think they have a superior quality of life, but their behaviour suggests they want better services and more opportunities. “(They) will go buy their groceries in Saskatoon or Regina, regardless of what they say. They will increasingly try to get their kids into better schools.”

Provincial governments might be pleased if towns with less than 1,000 people vanished because tiny health centres, seniors’ homes with 20 residents and schools with 30 students are inefficient.

However, no politician would say such a thing out loud.

“People might advocate for some kind of triage process,” Olfert said, in which certain towns are saved and others die.

“Politically, you’re going to lose elections if you try to do something like that.”

No one will say small communities should vanish for the benefit of larger towns on the Prairies, but such an outcome may be inevitable, Bollman said.

“Do governments want to proactively invest in the bigger towns and not invest in the smaller towns? I think that’s exactly what’s happening by default.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Cutting sprayer fill times in half would significantly improve farmers’ bottom lines, says a spraying systems engineer.

Syngenta researcher Doug Baumann has developed and proofed a mathematical model showing how a producer can fill a 1,200 gallon sprayer in six to eight minutes.

He said optimizing fill time is the easiest way for farmers to get a better return on their sprayer investment. In many real life scenarios, saving five minutes on a fill can turn into 20 more acres sprayed per hour.

“The gut feeling of most growers is that it would be a significant economic benefit if they could save time on their fills,” Baumann said.

“A number of years ago, (Saskatchewan sprayer expert) Tom (Wolf ) worked out some numbers on the back of an envelope showing that fill time is a very significant component in your overall cost of

Syngenta engineer Doug Baumann presents his conclusions about the efficiency of application on the farm. | TOM WOLF PHOTO production. So two years ago, we (Syngenta) started working on that assumption to make it more powerful. First, we did a survey of farmers just to get a better idea of how they were running their spraying operations right now. We can’t assume that everybody has a brand

new sprayer with a 120 foot boom because we know that’s not the situation. We wanted to make sure the model deals with those real world factors.”

Baumann said he quickly realized too many factors were at work to make a simple assessment, but

the five major considerations are: • forward speed • carrier volume in gallon/acre • boom width • water fill time • chemical fill time CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Tom Wolf ’s productivity calculator has moved from the back of an envelope to an app on the web.

“We developed an app that lets applicators figure out how productive their spray operation is,” said Wolf of Agrimetrix.

“We showed they could pay more attention to reducing their down time, filling time and cleaning time. Consequently, they can slow down their spray speed and still get more done.

“By slowing down, they gain a lot of advantages,” Wolf said.

“Lower booms are possible.

That improves spray targeting, better uniformity, less drift, less dust, less fuel consumption and less wear and tear on equipment. The list of benefits is a long one.”

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “Once you’ve bought the sprayer, you’ve established one basic factor.

You’ve set your boom width and you’re going to have it at that width (for a) few years.”

He said the first tier is getting the water into the sprayer quickly. The second tier is getting chemical into the tank just as quickly.

It’s the classic case of always finding the weakest link in a chain.

Once you’ve found it and fixed it, then you find the new weakest link and fix that one. It goes on and on, and as it does, you keep improving your spray operation.

“The common assumption is that water fill time is greater than chemical fill time, but it turns out that’s not the case. With the latest pumps, you can put the water into a 1,200 gallon sprayer in three minutes,” he said. “But if you have a three or four product tank mix, there’s no way you get those products into the

tank in three minutes. So now the chemical product has become the bottleneck, the next weak link in the chain.”

Baumann said producers in the Syngenta survey intuitively knew a quality impact is associated with that extra two m.p.h. if they drove 16 instead of 14 m.p.h.

“All the operators we talked to are already driving as fast as they can without impacting spray quality.

On a nice flat field, guys are up to 18 m.p.h. I don’t know how much faster they can go without having a serious problem with the quality of the application.”

Some operators spray faster than 20 m.p.h. and wonder if the product is faulty. The hidden danger inherent with every speed increase isn’t just the rate of travel but also boom height. The faster you drive, the higher your boom must be, which is a major detriment to spray deposition.

“High speed and a high boom not

PRODUCTION only results in a bad spray job and a waste of your money — it also exposes you to environmental factors such as spray drift. Spray drift can become a big financial liability when it damages adjacent crops,” Baumann said.

“High speed causes eddies and air currents. A high boom makes droplets just fall by force of gravity. They don’t strike the target at the angle you intended as they exited the nozzle. It all becomes very squirrely. There are smarter ways to increase your productivity without high speeds and high booms.

“If you can fill five minutes quicker than your neighbour, you might get 20 extra acres sprayed before he’s back in the cab. Think how that adds up over a season. And if he’s driving too fast thinking he’ll keep up with you, think how much better the quality of your application is.”

Baumann said investing in fast

fill equipment is the smartest way to maximize the number of acres sprayed per hour. His mathematical model allows him to juggle all five of the major elements involved in a fill.

He said the model shows how to reduce fill times to six or eight minutes on a 1,200 gallon sprayer.

There’s no special equipment, he added. It’s all off-the-shelf components.

“Most sprayers today feed water from one end or the other and chemical comes in at the side. You park parallel to the truck on the side of the road and you have two operations happening at the same time, two lines going into the sprayer. The pumps are generally 50 gallons per minute to 75 g.p.m.,” he said.

“But there are companies out there offering chemical handling equipment that fill chemical and water through a single line, so you only have to be in that one location.

SPRAYER EFFICIENCY Since boom width and travel speed determine total spray area, bigger booms and faster travel speed mean more acres sprayed per minute. The graph shows two common setups, but most growers will find their extra acres sprayed per minute total somewhere between those lines. extra acres sprayed

Baumann said the key is to invest in pumps that move 200 g.p.m. or higher. The venturi effect created by these big pumps forms a vacuum that sucks product out of the tote into the single fill line. The pump that was previously used to draw from the tote is eliminated from the setup.

Banjo and other companies have digital flow meters that are installed between the tote and the venturi on the main line. The flow meter connects to a valve that shuts off the tote once a programmed volume of active product has been drawn.

“I was talking to a farmer two weeks ago. He has a flow meter between the tote and venturi. He runs (the) water pump full bore and sets (the) flow meter. If he needs 30 litres active product, he sets the flow meter to shut off at 27 litres. Once it hits 27 litres, there’s still three litres in the hose, so that all gets flushed into the sprayer. It’s totally automated,” Baumann said.

“Another option is the large-volume hot-load chemical-ready tank. This technology originated with aerial applicators where fill time is even more crucial because of their higher cost per minute.

They spray an acre every seven seconds, so that’s where time really is money.

“Their hot-load concept is perfectly suited to ground sprayers.

The tank mix is already blended.

It’s sitting, waiting for the sprayer to arrive, agitating in a 200 gallon water tank. It’s pumped into the sprayer at the same time as the main volume of water. This also reduces the amount of time required for the water fill.”

Baumann said some equipment companies now have manifolds for multiple chemical addition ports.

These manifolds let farmers load pre-determined volumes of different chemicals simultaneously.

“For example, while pumping 200 g.p.m. of water, I could simultaneously add a high volume product from a tote and a couple specialty products from jugs,” he said.

“With multiple ports, I could add all those chemicals and the water all at the same time. I would call that the final key.”

Baumann said he still calls the project a mathematical model rather than an app. He is continuing to test it to ensure that it will be relevant in all combinations of the five main factors before he releases it to farmers. ron.lyseng@producer.com

AGBOT CHALLENGE

Robot seeder nets Sask. engineer third in competition Electric, automated seeder is environmentally friendly

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

ODESSA , Sask. — Engineer Nathan Muchowski expects robots to be seeding for farmers within the next five years.

He built a prototype to test his theory that won third place in the 2016 agBOT Challenge in Rockville, Indiana.

The idea for an unmanned seeder had been on the 26-year-old’s mind for several years, so when he saw a Twitter message for the AgBOT Challenge, he jumped into action.

“This was a way to test my idea and to make a seeder exactly the way I wanted to do it,” said Muchowksi.

The University of Regina graduate grew up on a grain farm in Odessa, Sask., where he was always drawn to the mechanical side of the operation. Upon graduating with a degree in electronics systems engineering, Muchowksi took a hightech job in Regina, but it wasn’t in the agricultural sector.

The automated seeder was a way for him to work on one of the ag-related projects he’d always been passionate about. The design stage took about 10 months with the physical construction phase consuming more than 300 hours.

The judges told us that if we would have gotten it out there, we would have had first place because we were the only team that had answers to all of their objectives.

petition, Muchowski’s was built from scratch — he wrote the program, engineered the design and fabricated the entire machine. The free-standing automated seeder is also fully electric, making it a zeroemissions implement.

You can wait to work, or you can get to work.

NATHAN MUCHOWSKI SASKATCHEWAN ENGINEER

“I was very proud of what we had built and constructed because when you basically scrounge up parts and money the way we did, and you actually have something to show for it, it’s very rewarding,” said Muchowski whose father, Pat Muchowski, helped him with the fabrication of the seeder’s frame.

The agBOT seeder cost roughly $20,000 to build, most of which came out of Muchowski’s pocket.

As well, agricultural sector sponsors donated parts and cash.

The outcome was bittersweet when the young engineer travelled to the Indiana competition in May under the banner of Muchowski Farms because the seeder was not operational enough to be in the field test.

“The judges told us that if we would have gotten it out there, we would have had first place because we were the only team that had answers to all of their objectives,” said Muchowski.

FROST DAMAGE

“I just didn’t write the software or do the drive systems, but I integrated all the components together to make a working unit.”

Muchowksi sees unmanned seeders similar to the one he designed being in the field within the next decade. He envisions farmers using 10 to 20 of them with only one person needed in a central command centre.

He believes robotic seeders and other similar equipment will revolutionize farming in the upcoming decades.

“With machine learning and the advances in artificial intelligence, there may not even need to be a farmer controlling equipment for seeding, swathing and harvest.”

Muchowski’s participation in the competition delivered greater rewards than he expected. He received several agricultural sector job offers, one of which was in Regina.

“It got me my dream job.”

As well, the US$10,000 prize for the third place finish helped defray some of his costs.

The first place team was also from Saskatchewan. U of R students Samuel Dietrich, Joshua Friedrick and Caleb Friedrick took home the $50,000 cash prize for a seeder pulled by a remote-controlled tractor. The students designed the software that enabled the tractor to be operated remotely.

The fourth year students were supervised by associate professor Mehran Mehrandezh and helped by technologist Dean Kertai. The project was part of their final year Capstone engineering project.

The second place prize of $30,000 was awarded to Purdue/South Newton Polytech of Indiana.

Muchowski split the third place prize of $20,000 with PeeDee Precision Ag of South Carolina.

Muchowski said he is considering entering the 2017 AgBOT Challenge, which is again focused on seeders. However, he realizes that going solo on such a complex project is difficult.

“I learned that if you’re going to take on something of this scale, you really need a large industry behind you to provide the resources.”

How to evaluate frost damage on various crops PRECISELY AGRONOMY

emperatures dipped below -4 C at various weather station locations in Western Canada last week.

We shouldn’t be surprised because the average first killing frost occurs in the second week of September for most of the Prairies.

Many crops will have missed most of the damage, but some will still be in the susceptible stage.

Here is some advice if you were unfortunate enough to be in the susceptible category.

Alternaria seems to affect some canola hybrids after frost. |

Canola If your canola is in the mid-tolate pod-fill stage, stay calm and carefully evaluate the extent of the damage. Chances are you will escape with minimal damage if your crop was reaching maturity and below 20 percent moisture.

You may see an increase in green seeds, but hopefully, with some timely wet and dry cycles, this can be eliminated.

The critical temperature for canola with moisture higher than 20 percent is generally considered to be -5 C. This isn’t a hard-andfast number because factors such as duration of temperature, wind and relative humidity will all play a role.

Observations in the field might include pods turning white or mottled. This seems to be hybrid specific and may not correlate to actual damage.

However, under some conditions, alternaria seems to affect these hybrids following a frost

Mottled canola pods may not indicate actual damage.

Frost damaged seeds may turn black and look like they are filled with water.

The best time to evaluate damage is three days after frost. Look for translucent seeds. more than others. Under heavy frost, immature pods on late branches may turn dark olive green

field may var y considerably, d e p e n d i n g o n m i c ro c l i mat e effects, landscape position in the field and canopy density.

Thicker plant canopies formed by narrow rows and/or high plant populations tend to hold the soil heat better and protect the lower portion of the plants and pods to some extent.

If only a light frost occurs, damage may be confined to the upper leaves in the canopy. Damaged leaves will eventually appear wilted and dried but usually remain on the plant. Undamaged leaves should still appear green and healthy.

A maturity delay of several days might be expected on damaged plants, and small pods near the top of the plant could abort or fail to fill normally. A more severe freeze may also damage leaves in the lower canopy and stems and pods.

Frost-damaged stems turn dark green to brown.

Beans that were still green and soft at the time of the freeze will shrivel, reducing soybean yield, quality and drying rate.

If the soybeans had reached physiological maturity (R7) before the frost event, these yellow beans should dry normally and quality should not be affected.

Soybeans are very sensitive to any temperatures below 0 C. Frost damage within a soybean

Thom Weir is an agronomist with Farmer’s Edge. He can be reached by emailing thom. weir@farmersedge.ca.

Cereals Cereals generally withstand frost better than canola, but shrivelled kernels can be expected if the cereal is in the milk stage when temperatures dip below -2 C. Frost tolerance increases from the milk through the soft dough stage to the hard dough stage.

In wheat, an exposure to frost below -3 C can result in bran frost, while below -4 C might result in shrivelled kernels and reduced germination for seed crops. Wheat is generally the most tolerant cereal to frost, followed by barley and oats.

LOAN FUNDING

Alberta government nearly doubles feeder association loan guarantee

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

T h e A l b e r t a g ov e r n m e nt i s increasing the provincial loan guarantee for feeder associations to $100 million.

The Feeder Associations of Alberta has requested an increase for several years as demand for cattle went up, said chair Eric Boot.

“Cattle prices were way up and there was demand and in the meantime there just wasn’t enough money to go around,” he said.

“It gives us a lot more flexibility to service those feeder associations with a guarantee.”

Cattle prices may have reached unprecedented levels in the last two years, but it is a different story this fall and demand for loans

may go down.

“Prices are going to be down, but in my crystal ball we are probably going to maintain or maybe lose a bit,” Boot said.

“A lot of people are still in the industry for the long haul. One bad year doesn’t necessarily mean guys are jumping out of the industry.”

Forty-six local feeder associations operate as producer-run co-

operatives to obtain competitive financing from lending institutions to buy cattle. Government provides an overall loan guarantee, which is being increased to $100 million from $55 million.

Producers who work through a feeder association can borrow up to $1 million. The government estimates association members buy 15 to 25 percent of available

calves each year.

The local associations retain ownership of the cattle bought under the program. The livestock are fed, managed and marketed by the individual feeder association member. All surplus funds are paid to the member after a member’s account is paid in full. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

DAIRY BEDDING

Composted manure has drawback Adopters of dairy cow bedding made from composted manure say it increases mastitis rates

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Mary Ann Doré had the best of intentions when she designed and built a new dairy barn in 2011.

Doré, who farms with husband Joe and her brother, Graham Johnston, near New Dundee, Ont., wanted the barn to be sustainable, and she hoped to set high standards for cow comfort.

They installed solar panels to generate electricity and the stalls were made from flexible plastic instead of metal to reduce the likelihood of injuries.

Doré and her family also implemented a system that used bedding for the dairy cows made from composted manure.

Many of their sustainability initiatives were successful, but they abandoned the compost piece because an unacceptably high number of cows developed mastitis, an infection of the udder.

“It was a great theory, (but) we just couldn’t make it work,” Doré said, noting the incidence of mastitis was particularly bad in February and March.

“We actually stopped using (compost bedding) this year. We found it was a struggle in the early spring.”

As noted on an Ontario government website, a number of dairy farmers in the province have been using manure solids to make animal bedding.

The first step of the process is putting the manure into a press to remove moisture. The drier material is then transferred to a rotating drum, which draws in air to feed the micro-organisms.

The compost in the drum eventually reaches a temperature of 65 to 70 C, which kills most of the pathogens. It takes about three days to convert the manure into usable bedding.

Doré and other early adopters in Ontario tried the system, but many have given up on the process.

“We found there are a lot of farmers in the area that have also stopped.”

Jack Rodenburg, co-owner of Dairy Logix, an Ontario consultancy specializing in dairy barn management and design, has heard the same story.

“The compost type systems … most of the people who have those have either struggled a lot or moved on.”

Rodenburg said he hasn’t conducted scientific studies of compost and livestock bedding, but he has worked in the past as a dairy production expert with Ontario Agriculture.

“There’s probably not a lot of bacteria load in the (compost) materi-

Compost bedding, similar to what these cows are lying on in this four-year-old file photo, below, is losing favour among producers because of mastitis problems.

al itself, of the kind of bacteria that would cause mastitis,” he said.

“But it’s still a pretty good environment for those bugs to grow in…. The cow adds liquid when she urinates. Now a combination of liquid and air and something to grow on becomes a great environment for bacteria.”

Using compost as bedding is an attractive option for dairy producers because the cost of straw, wood shavings and other bedding material has been increasing, Rodenburg said.

“There are more alternative uses for things like straw, wood shavings … so it becomes very attractive to

use something for bedding that you already have on the farm — manure solids.”

However, compost isn’t free because there are operating and management expenses.

“It adds a lot of costs, in terms of mechanical and electrical costs (for running the drums),”

Rodenburg said.

Doré now uses a waterbed system for dairy cow bedding, in which the livestock rest on a dual chamber mattress filled with water.

Doré and the cows are pleased with the new system. robert.arnason@producer.com

ORGANIC GRAIN

WARM WEATHER CALVING

Organics include forage; organic beef the bonus

Calving on grass less stress

If you are growing forages you might as well have animals because you can’t eat it yourself, says grower

WINNIPEG BUREAU

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Dale Hicks said his 60-head cow herd is one small step away from being drug-free and certified organic, emphasizing that organic beef is merely a byproduct of organic grain production.

“There’s no way you can grow organic grain unless you have a significant percentage of forages in your rotation,” said the farmer from Outlook, Sask.

He said organic beef is the bonus rather than the goal of an organic farm.

Hicks already has 1,500 acres in organic grain production.

“So next, I’m thinking about taking our cows organic,” he said.

“Right now, all we give them is Ivomec in the fall and mineral tubs. We don’t give them hormones. So we’re already just one small step away from organic beef.”

He said everything about organic grain and organic beef revolves around forages. Farmers who expect to grow organic grain require organic forage in the rotation. They can’t keep the weeds out unless they have forages.

DALE HICKS CATTLE PRODUCER

“You cannot hope to scratch around in the dirt with some special cultivator or a stick and expect that to take care of weeds in your grain field. It just won’t happen.

Forages are the only way to control weeds. But the forages have to be profitable, too,” he said.

“If you can’t sell the forage bales or eat them yourself, then you’ve got to have beef animals to eat them. You’ll never sell enough of that forage putting it through sheep, horses, goats or dairy. You need beef, period. And once you have the organic forages, you sell it to your organic cows, and that’s your bonus.” ron.lyseng@producer.com

BY RON LYSENG

Dale Hicks was tired of pulling calves in blizzards, getting stomped by cows, hauling calf sleds in the mud in the middle of the night and losing sleep.

“When you’re calving in the corral in February or March and the cows are in close quarters, all within 20 feet of each other, all skitzy and protective, man, that’s dangerous,” Hicks said.

Crunch time came five years ago for the herd on his farm near Outlook, Sask.: either the 65 cows learned to take care of themselves and their calves or they would all be shipped.

“You can get really beat up by a cow,” he said. “ My brother got dinged up pretty bad. He was all bruised and black and blue and hobbling around pretty hard here for a while.

“And that’s what really brought us around to thinking, ‘what are we doing here anyway. This ain’t worth dying over. Each day we get a little older and it’s a little harder for bones to heal.’

“Plus, our grain farm was growing in size and we were getting into the seed business. But the damned cows were taking up all our life. We decided that if we’re going to keep those cows, they’d have to learn to be more independent.”

Hicks decided to give the cows one more chance by switching them to a warm-weather springcalving regime. He timed breeding so all the calves dropped on green growing grass, starting in midApril. He had previously timed the bulls so calving occurred in February and March.

In five years, we’ve had one loss to coyotes. And we had one premature calf this year. When we used to have losses in the old system, it was calves dropping in a mud puddle.

DALE HICKS OUTLOOK, SASK., FARMER

“But that was back when we were still dragging calves around over the snow banks in February and wading through big pools of piss and poop at the end of March and getting beat up by nasty moms who didn’t want you touching her newborn,” he said.

“We decided to use 100 acres of native prairie pastureland just a quarter mile out the back door here. It’s really hilly. You can slide right down the hills, so it’s way too steep to cultivate.

“The native pasture isn’t really green yet by mid-April, but we have a couple 30-acre contingent paddocks with meadow brome grass and crested wheat grass, and that stuff greens up early. But actually, if we’ve got any stockpiled native prairie with lots of old dead brown grass, they’d rather go out on that instead of tame pasture.”

Hicks said he has noticed an oddity about calving on hilly native prairie that some other ranchers have commented on over the years.

Contrary to what a person might assume, the mothers take their

newborn calves around to the north sides of the hills where they nestle down into the brush, even though the warm spring sun is on the south slope.

Researchers in North Dakota have speculated that the predominant spring wind is from the south and it’s often very cold at night. The buck brush provides newborn calves with shelter from those frigid winds.

The bulls go out into the cow herd the first week of July and they stay out with the cows until September.

He said the native prairie where they spend the summer gets pretty ugly by the end of August, so they all come back closer to the yard to graze on hay re-growth, tame pasture and cover crops on cultivated land.

“So now they’ve got 100 acres of green growing grass for calving and they’re happy. The calving goes much easier,” he said.

“Our calf puller is hanging in the shed somewhere. We don’t use it anymore. If we drive around on the quad to check them, there’s plenty of room, so they don’t mind it.

“In five years, we’ve had one loss to coyotes. And we had one premature calf this year. When we used to have losses in the old system, it was calves dropping in a mud puddle.

Or you get a blizzard in the middle of March and then find them dead when the snow melts. We don’t have that anymore.”

Hicks said his herd is a mixed bunch of colours, which might have something to do with the hardiness of the calves.

He buys proven breeding cows when selecting replacements and never buys young heifers because he doesn’t like babysitting.

“We’re not cowboys here. We don’t have cowboy boots or big belt buckles or big hats,” he said. “ We’re just Norwegian farmers trying to raise some beef.” ron.lyseng@producer.com

CANCER TRANSMISSION

Transmissible tumours: baffling anomaly in sea of cancers ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

T

he current state of knowledge regarding the origins of cancer is that it arises in people and animals due to irreversible DNA damage and uncontrolled cell replication.

These rogue cells disregard the signals that provide essential checks and balances to cell growth, replication and death.

Ultimately, cancer cells accumulate mutations on their road to immortality, invade adjacent tissues, spread to distant organs and grow rampantly. Without medical intervention, many types of cancer are a death sentence.

But there is another, lesserknown type of cancer that has achieved immortality and not just in a single host. These cancers are contagious — they readily spread between unrelated animals through direct physical contact and are just as deadly.

Unlike run-of-the-mill cancers, transmissible cancers outlast the original host by decades, if not centuries, by spreading from host to host like a fleshy parasite.

So-called normal cancers cannot survive if passed between individuals due to the immune system.

The only exceptions include rare accidents like cancerous cells hiding in a transplanted organ.

One example of the rare contagious cancers is canine transmissible venereal tumour (TVT). As the name suggests, cancerous cells are transmitted through sexual contact between individual dogs and tumours grow on the genitals.

It can also affect wild members of the canine family including wolves, coyotes and jackals.

No matter where in the world you look, affected dogs have nearly identical cancer cells. This suggests a long-term co-existence between the cancer and its canine hosts.

Indeed, scientists estimate this disease originated 11,000 years ago, making these cancer cells the oldest known cell line.

As domestic dogs spread around the world with their humans, so did the tumours. Many of you have probably not heard about this condition because it is extremely rare in North America due to the widespread accessibility of veterinary care as well as the chemotherapy treatment.

Dogs in developing countries are less lucky, but the tumours often spontaneously regress and only

rarely cause death.

Another puzzling transmissible tumour occurs in endangered Tasmanian devils.

The tumour cells are spread between these pint-sized marsupials through biting. Living up to their name, aggressive interactions between devils are frequent and exuberant during mating and eating activities.

The tumour cells are deposited into skin wounds and start their deadly cycles of replication and

growth. The facial tumors affecting devils can grow to such an extent that they impair eyesight, breathing and eating, ultimately killing the animals.

Unlike the canine TVT, devil facial tumour emerged recently and quickly kills affected individuals, pushing this creature toward extinction.

Another example is a newly discovered transmissible leukemia in several species of shellfish.

This is the first example of a trans-

missible cancer in a marine ecosystem and also the first to jump between species.

Environmental issues including pollution and habitat loss may have caused this deadly white blood cell cancer to emerge.

These are the only three naturally occurring examples of transmissible cancers ever discovered in nature.

Of these, canine TVT and devil facial tumour occur in animals that have a relatively narrow genetic pool. Even dogs that look as different as great danes compared to chihuahuas share remarkably similar DNA codes.

The Tasmania devil also has an extremely limited genetic pool.

Scientists believe the genetic similarity between individual animals allows the transmissible cancer cells to invade and start growing long before the host’s immune system realizes there is a problem.

Learning more about these biological outliers may provide insight into how cancer originates and how it interacts with its host’s immune system.

Perhaps there are other transmissible cancers lurking in nature that await discovery.

BEEF CATTLE CONFERENCE

Effective herd health requires package control While vaccines can help manage disease, a biosecurity control program is essential to reduce risks and severity

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Vaccines, good biosecurity and risk analysis, along with veterinary advice, together form part of a disease control package. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You pair the vaccine with a biosecurity control program. Now you have power. If you do not do both together you will lose the game,â&#x20AC;? said veterinarian Frank Garry of Colorado State University. He spoke at the recent University of Calgary faculty of veterinary medicine beef cattle conference.

Vaccines decrease shedding of infectious agents but without other

Garry said.

Implementing a hazard analysis critical control points system can help manage and control health risks. If efforts are made to keep out scours, for example, it can also lower the risk of something like Johneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showing up in a herd.

Vaccinations are part of a herd health plan, but they need to be used properly, said Philip Griebel, vaccine researcher at the University

of Saskatchewan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vaccines are a very important tool but they are only one tool in building herd health and managing disease,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vaccines take time to work and if you are not using them before the risk period or time of infection, you are really asking them to do things that are biologically not possible.â&#x20AC;?

The expected outcome of a vaccination program is to reduce the number of sick animals, reduce disease severity and reduce the shedding of infectious agents. It should also reduce the use of antibiotics, said Griebel.

There are a wide range of vaccines available to protect healthy animals.

A killed vaccine is an inactivated virus, bacteria, bacterial extract or purified protein. Delivery time is critical and it is important to make sure calves get the full dose for disease control.

Modified live protein or nonpathogenic virus expressed in a recombinant protein works well.

However using a modified live vaccine on a highly stressed weaned calf may exacerbate sickness.

Pregnant cows can be vaccinated to fight scours and pass on that protection to newborn calves via colostrum.

However, maternal protection decreases by about 50 percent

Vaccines are a very important tool but they are only one tool in building herd health and managing disease.

every three weeks so by the time calves are weaned, they could be in trouble.

The dams can pass on antibodies to fight bovine viral diarrhea, but in the case of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, the youngsters are susceptible at three to six weeks of age because it appears that protection for IBR is not passed on.

Producers may have to think about vaccinating sooner because the maternal antibodies are gone.

It was previously thought using a modified live vaccine early in life was a waste of time and money because calves already had

maternal antibodies.

Studies have looked at T cells needed for protection against viral infection. T cells responded better in cases where maternal antibodies were present and calves were vaccinated.

It was also thought the natural antibodies would interfere with the vaccine, but in the case of intranasal vaccines for respiratory disease, that does not appear to be the case. A single vaccination at two to six weeks of age can stimulate the immune system and reduce mortality.

Research continues to examine immunity interval. This is the time from vaccination to when the animal is protected against disease.

Some may require two doses to provide immunity. As well, there are some animals that do not respond well to vaccination.

Specificity of immunity also needs more work to learn which vaccines control specific pathogenic strains.

Duration of immunity has not been studied enough. Protection may not last long so cows may have to be immunized every year.

The concept of immune memory may also exist. It is thought the immune system can mount a more rapid and specific response following re-vaccination. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

CHASE, B.C. — Feeding bison can be a complicated business, a recent bison field tour near Chase, B.C., was told.

John Church, B.C. Innovation Chair in Cattle Industry Sustainability at Thompson Rivers University, said it can be challenging to deliver a consistent market weight animal with the nutritional attributes that consumers want.

“In my mind, the best bison meat you can get is a partially grain finished heifer coming up to 30 months,” Church said during the field day, which was part of the Canadian Bison Association’s annual general meeting.

“Up to two years it is as tender as beef, but over 30 months, the toughness goes up.… We know there are nutritional attributes that change whether they are grass fed or grain fed.… The vitamin content is typically much higher in grass fed than in grain finished meats, particularly vitamin A and vitamin E, and the fatty acid profile changes as well.”

However, there are significant challenges to grass finishing, given Canada’s relatively short growing season.

“You have to put them on forage,” said Church.

“You can do not too bad if you are on high quality forage, but if you are just trying to feed dry conserved hay, if you look at the TDN (total digestible nutrients), usually there isn’t enough energy to put a proper finish on the animals.”

Yet even in Ireland, where ranchers parlay a 300 day growing season and significant rainfall into a grass fed specialty beef industry, they have challenges.

“In Ireland they can get the fat and the marble and the flavour and the fatty acid balance, but they are finding in their slaughter plants only 60 percent of their carcasses are hitting the standards that they want,” he said in an interview.

“North American feedlots do an e x c e l l e nt j o b at f i n i s h i n g . …

They’ve got it down to a fine science and grain rations make it consistent.”

Church said a recent study by PhD candidate Matthew Walpole from the University of Saskatchewan helps solve the issue.

“What we saw most significantly in the study comparing a high grain and a backgrounding ration was that the bison produced just as well on the backgrounding ration that had considerably higher forage than on a typical beef feedlot grain finishing ration,” he said.

“One thing that is very interesting to me is that finishing diets dramatically change the ratio between omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids.… Nutritionists talk about the magic ratio being below four to one.”

The best grass fed beef tends to have a ratio of two to one omega 6 to omega 3, Church said, while beef and bison on a high grain feed lot ration would be eight to one.

Church said bison don’t need a typical feedlot grain ration.

“Somewhere between 30 and 50 percent grain is enough to keep the ratio under four to one,” he said.

BOOSTING EXPORTS

Sask. premier to talk trade in China, S. Korea

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

O-66-08/16-10590104-E

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is heading to South Korea and China this month to help build export markets for the province’s agricultural and mining products.

The 11-day tr ip, which was scheduled to begin Sept. 17, will cost taxpayers $130,000 and coincides with a trade mission led by the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership.

Wall said exports to China have doubled in the past five years to $3.36 billion, while exports to South Korea rose from $86 million in 2014 to $104 million last year.

“Of course, food has been a top seller,” he told reporters. “We’ve become the number one foodexporting province in the country.”

Wall said improved access under the new free trade agreement with South Korea should provide better opportunities for beef and other commodities.

“We now have a bit of an advantage, or at least a level playing field, with competing countries like Australia and others who dominated after they had free trade agreements,” he said.

Wall praised Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for raising the issue of blackleg in canola during his recent trip to China and said he would do so as well. This is Wall’s third trip to China, where he will meet with agricultural organizations and companies.

This will be the first trip ever by a Saskatchewan premier to South Korea.

The STEP mission participants will look at new opportunities in

The Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership includes: • 16 exporters • Saskatchewan Pulse Growers • Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission • Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission • Cereals Canada • University of Saskatchewan • University of Regina • Saskatchewan Polytechnic South Korea as a result of zero tariffs on canola, flax seed, wheat, rye, oats, mustard and canaryseed and decreasing tariffs on peas, lentils, chickpeas and quinoa.

They will also participate in the China-Saskatchewan Agricultural Trade Conference to celebrate 60 years of supplying the Chinese market with food ingredients.

Wall said the Saskatchewan Party has gone to 11 countries since it took office in 2007 to work to diversify exports away from the United States.

The U.S. market is mature with a business-to-business relationship, he said, whereas in Asia many of the importers are state-owned.

Governments and state-owned enterprises value relationships with other governments.

Wall said it is sometimes hard to identify which deals result from government presence, but exporters have asked officials to go.

The province is in austerity mode after plunging oil prices, but Wall said it’s important to continue with an economic growth plan and attract new investment. karen.briere@producer.com

AG NOTES SUGAR BEET HARVEST SET TO BEGIN OCT. 3 Southern Alberta’s main sugar beet harvest is set to begin Oct. 3.

A mini-harvest designed to get the sugar factory in Taber, Alta., up and running was scheduled for last week.

Farmers planted 28,000 acres of beets this year and harvest is expected to take about eight weeks to complete, according to Alberta Sugar Beet Growers.

“Even with the hail and the crazy weather this year, sugar beet yields are expected to be between 26 (and) 28 tonnes per acre,” the organization said in a news release.

There are more than 200 sugar beet growers in southern Alberta and their beets will be delivered to one of seven piling stations: Taber, Picture Butte, Vauxhall, Tempest, Enchant, Coaldale and Burdett.

Keep warm and cosy with canola Alberta researchers work out how to use canola in insulation, creating a potential new industry

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It might not be long before Alberta farmers can walk into a building insulated with their canola.

Researchers at the University of Alberta have created a canolabased polyol that is being used in the production of a spray-foam insulation called BioFoam.

Polyols are one of the two major components used to create polyurethane, which is used to make a wide variety of oleochemical products such as coatings and foams.

Jonathan Curtis, head of the Lipid Chemistry Group at the U of A, said soy and palm oil have long been used to make oleochemical products. Oleochemicals are those derived from plant or animal oils.

“What we’d really like to see is some of that oleochemical industry coming to Canada and being directed towards canola oil,” he said. “There really isn’t a big industry associated with (canola), so we’d like to change that.”

BioFoam is the first step down that road.

Canola oil from Alberta is being shipped to Meadow Polymers, a company in Delta, B.C., that has a

demonstration scale polyol plant that it plans to expand.

The polyols from that plant will be used to create BioFoam, which can be used in a variety of applications. BioFoam is the working name of a numbered Alberta company that will produce the spray foam.

The potential is massive.

If 10 percent of (Canada’s canola crop) became a highvalue industrial feedstock, that could really add a lot of value to the whole industry.

JONATHAN CURTIS RESEARCHER

Mod-Panel, an Edmonton based sister company to BioFoam, intends to use the product to create rigid foam panels used for roof and wall insulation. It is already making panels using petrochemicals.

Curtis said this could be the start of a large new source of demand for Canada’s Cinderella crop. “ The potential is huge. The potential is massive,” he said.

“If 10 percent of (Canada’s canola crop) became a high-value industrial feedstock, that could really add a lot of value to the whole industry.”

It would be an outlet for poor quality canola, such as green seed, and would be a stable, consistent, value-added market for the crop.

“I imagine that when this gets into production, the companies actually producing these chemicals will want to fix their price of canola, so that might be an advantage for farmers,” said Curtis.

McKinsey & Co. estimates there were $252 billion in sales of renewable bio-based chemicals in 2012, or nine percent of total global chemical sales.

It predicts sales will increase to $375 to $441 billion by 2020, or about 11 percent of the chemical business.

Curtis said BioFoam has to go through a certification process before it can be used as a building product.

It has to meet industry codes on factors such as flammability, insulation value and its ability to act as a moisture barrier, which is why the company kept the renewable content to 25 percent.

“You can’t just go in there and replace all those chemicals in one go and expect to meet those codes,” he said.

The plan is to boost the canola oil content in future versions of the product once the business is up and running.

The hope is to achieve certification in the next year or two.

Funding is in place to design an Alberta processing plant that will create the canola polyols and other oleochemicals from prairie grown oilseed crops.

Curtis hopes the design work will be finished next year, and investors can then start raising the capital required to build the facility.

In the meantime, the U of A researchers are working on other polyol projects, such as creating a flexible rather than rigid foam that can be used in seat cushions.

As well, they are working with other oilseeds, such as camelina to create a product similar to castor oil and flax and hemp to create a bio-based resin.

“I very much hope the resin project will move forward in the near future because I think that has tremendous potential,” said Curtis. sean.pratt@producer.com

PAYMENT STRATEGIES

Wages or dividends: what’s best when paying yourself?

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

poration to receive a dividend. This allows you to draw amounts during the year at different times. In comparison to wages, this can result in you having to pay quarterly personal tax installments during the year.

CANADA PENSION PLAN COLIN MILLER

A

common discussion I have with farmers who have set up a corporation is how to withdraw cash for personal use.

It is important to establish a strategy when you first incorporate but also to revisit it annually to ensure it is in line with your financial goals.

The big question is should you pay yourself through a wage or a dividend?

I always remind farmers that wages and dividends flow through the company in different ways, but your overall tax bill on the money for personal use is relatively consistent. Keep this in mind when considering the following factors.

If wages are paid, both the employer (your corporation) and the employee (you personally) are required to pay into CPP. You are likely not required to pay i nt o Emp l oy m e nt In s u ra n c e because you are the owner of the corporation, but you should confirm this with your professional adviser.

You are not required to pay into

CPP or EI if you pay a dividend.

The maximum CPP contribution for 2016 is $2,545 for both the corporation and the employee. Therefore, the cost of paying into CPP each year can be up to $5,090, which can be avoided by paying a dividend.

However, you will not receive CPP benefits when you retire if you do not pay into the plan. In 2016, the maximum annual CPP benefit you receive at the age of 65 is $13,116, which is taxable when received.

REGISTERED RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN RRSP room is only created if you pay yourself a wage.

Making RRSP contributions means you are investing money on a tax deferred basis. As a result, a wage can be beneficial if you are saving cash. For many farmers, cash is invested back into the farm, but this is an important consideration to make in a scenario where you are saving cash outside of the farming operation.

INVESTMENT INCOME On the other side, it is likely beneficial to at least pay out some dividends if you have investments in your company.

Dividends paid out to individual shareholders can result in tax being refunded to your corporation if you have earned investment income.

GOVERNMENT FILINGS Both of these payment methods require government filings by Feb. 28 each year. A wage requires a T4 and a dividend a T5.

The strategy you choose to pay yourself depends on your situation.

You may also want to consider paying yourself a mixture of wages and dividends to reap the benefits of both choices. It is important to consult with a professional when determining the best way to draw cash for personal use from your corporation.

ADMINISTRATION Wages are usually paid monthly or bi-weekly, which requires you to make remittances to the government each month for deductions off your wage such as income tax and Canada Pension Plan. This can usually add more administrative work than a dividend.

CALGARY COMPANY

GrowSafe gets British partner SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An investment company connected with the British aristocracy has created an alliance with GrowSafe Systems Ltd. GrowSafe is a Calgary-based producer of radio-frequency identification and sensor based systems in livestock production.

The technology enables farmers to improve animal feed conversion efficiency, which saves money and reduces the impact on the environment.

Its new partner is Wheatsheaf Group Ltd., a British firm investing in companies that work to increase efficiency in food and energy production.

“Wheatsheaf ’s investment will enable us to improve our technology and strengthen our ability to bring science based decisionmaking tools to our customers,” said Alison Sunstrum, GrowSafe’s chief executive officer, in a news release.

GrowSafe produces predictive “thinking” algorithms that identify sick animals, triggering mechanisms that visually identify and treat without human intervention, the release said.

Wheatsheaf was created in 2012 by the Grosvenor Estate, which runs the assets and business interests of the Grosvenor family headed by the Duke of Westminster. Its holdings are mostly in property and are valued at more than $15.5 billion.

We’d never say farming in this country is easy. That’s why we created Insure® Cereal. It’s an advanced fungicide seed treatment that provides the most complete control of seed- and soil-borne diseases caused by fusarium. Insure Cereal is also the only cereal seed treatment that delivers the benefits1 of AgCelence® – more consistent and increased germination even in cold weather, increased seedling vigour both above and below ground and better ability to manage environmental stress.2 To learn more visit agsolutions.ca/insurecereal or call AgSolutions® Customer Care at 1-877-371-BASF (2273).
