Welcome to

Yield Alberta

W

hen you fill in your harvested production report for the Canada-Alberta annual crop insurance program, you’re doing more than simply meeting the terms of your contract.

You’re contributing to a valuable database that contains field-scale yields under actual crop conditions across the various regions of Alberta.

This information has been available online for several years, but now, thanks to a joint project between Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) and Alberta Farmer, it’s now available in one, easy-to-read publication called Yield Alberta.

across the province, as well as in each risk area and across a number of years .

When comparing variety yields within each risk area, pay attention to the number of acres seeded. Varieties are listed if they are grown by five or more farmers for any risk area. There are situations where there are only a few acres of some varieties. Those fewer acres of a certain variety might be the ones that happened to be on better soil, caught some extra rain from a thunderstorm or had higher levels of management. So the more acres that are grown, the more representative the yields will be.

Interpreting the data

If you’d like to take your variety comparison a step further, you can log on to the Alberta Management Insights (AMI) data on Ropin’ the Web at www.agric.gov.ab.ca/ app96/loadrptinput. The site allows you to enter your legal land description and compare varieties by yield and by cropping practice for different regions. You can compare varieties by twenty five township block, risk area, soil zone and risk area/soil zone combination. It also includes a risk-area seeding summary and a report showing the top-yielding varieties for each risk area.

We hope that Yield Alberta will be a valuable addition to your variety-selection toolbox. If you would like more information on how to interpret the data, contact Susan Crump, Program Development and Policy at AFSC, susan.crump@afsc.ca

Keep in mind that the basis for the data is different than for the Alberta Seed Guide, where varieties are compared side by side in test plots. Yield Alberta data is based on actual yields reported by farmers in each of AFSC’s 22 risk areas. This means that yields from those fields are subjected to varying weather and management conditions. The yields are adjusted for dockage and test weight but not quality. Yields are as reported by farmers or from an inspection on a claim or random audit.

The challenging growing conditions last season illustrate how some risk areas can fare better than others, and how conditions can change every year. Yield Alberta allows you to look at how varieties performed on average

Too everything – Alberta farmers had just about every kind of weather in 2010, and it never seemed to come in moderation

2010

A year of extremes for farming in Alberta

by Dean Dyck, Project Manager, AFSC

A

griculture is known for its unpredictability and 2010 was no exception. Depending on where you farmed in Alberta, to quote Charles Dickens, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

Most 2010 crop yields in Alberta exceeded the 10-year average — despite extremely dry conditions in the Peace, too much rain in the south, and crops that were seven to 10 days behind maturity for most of the growing year because of cool temperatures.

(Figure 1.) The exceptions were forage seeds (alfalfa, creeping red fescue and timothy), safflower, potatoes, and kabuli chickpeas.

The majority of forage seeds are produced in the Peace Region and yields suffered from lack of moisture and high temperatures.

Safflower, potatoes and kabuli chickpeas are grown in the southern region and delayed seeding, a wet seedbed and a lack of heat all contributed to yield declines.

Yields Hard red spring wheat averaged 46 bushels per acre on stubble, 16 per cent higher than the 10-year average. The highest yields were in Risk Area 6 (west of Olds) at 66 bushels per acre but that was

only on 1,400 acres. Argentine canola yields averaged 37 bushels per acre on stubble compared to the 10-year average of 31 bushels per acre. Yields were quite consistent throughout most of the province, though the highest yields were in Risk Area 15 (St. Paul, Thorhild, Smoky Lake, Athabasca area) at 48 bushels per acre.

Barley on stubble averaged 68 bushels per acre, 10 bushels higher than the 10 year average. The highest yields were Risk Area 7 (Lacombe, Red Deer and Olds area) at 80 bushels per acre. Oats on stubble averaged 87 bushels per acre, almost 22 bushels higher than the 10 year average. The highest yields were in Risk Area 22 (Fort Vermilion area) at 122 bushels per acre.

Field peas averaged 39 bushels per acre, 15 per cent higher than the 10 year. The highest yields were in Risk Area 10 and 15 at 50 bushels per acre.

Lower quality The lack of maturity also led to lower quality for the major crops. (See page 17.)

Most of the province harvested 2 CW or lower for wheat and barley and 2 CAN or less for canola. However, the Peace region enjoyed high percentages of 1 CW wheat and barley and 1 CAN canola.

Environment Canada reported that 2010 began with the warmest winter in history, followed by the warmest spring, the third-warmest summer and the second-warmest fall on record. According to Environment Canada, this makes 2010 Canada’s warmest year in 63 years.

That was hard to believe through most of Alberta. Spring seeding started off colder than normal. For much of the province, temperatures remained below normal through much of the growing season except for the Peace.

The old adage “when it rains, it pours” held true to form. Farmers throughout the province were quite concerned in April because soil moisture conditions were below normal. (See page 19.) Then the rain came — and never stopped until September. Farmers in southern Alberta either delayed seeding, reseeded or left acres unseeded because of the wet conditions. In fact, 124,000 acres weren't even seeded due to excess moisture in the spring, according to AFSC. On the positive side, soil moisture levels returned to normal to above normal. The benefit was higher yields. Wheat, barley, canola and field peas all yielded at least 10 per cent higher than normal.

too wet — except the Peace

Farmers in the Peace region were left wondering why they missed out.

Throughout the growing season, precipitation compared to the average was near normal in the northern and eastern corner of the region to low to very low in the central and southern portions.

Soil moisture levels, already low coming into 2010, declined even further to the point where there is only a 10 per cent probability of spring soil moisture

Central Alberta started out dry, then got wet — and wetter — as the growing season progressed. (See page 18.) The wet conditions delayed seeding and delayed crop development at least 10 days from the normal. A warm October allowed harvest to be completed and wheat, barley and canola yields were at least 10 per cent higher than normal. Field pea yields were similar to the long-term average.

returning to average throughout much of the region.

Also, temperatures were higher than average for most of the growing season. (See page 20.) The central portion of the region (Risk areas 18 and 19) was affected most.

Yields for all major crops were down 17 to 32 per cent of normal. In stark contrast, producers in the northern part of the region (Risk area 22) harvested above average yields for all major crops. Field pea yields were the hardest hit across the region, down 20 to 43 per cent of normal. Wheat yields were down five to 23 per cent of normal.

all of the above

Northern Alberta had it all. The season started out with soil moisture reserves relative to the long-term normal at least near normal in the southeast to moderately low in the centre and north to very low and extremely low in the west. When the precipitation came, accumulations varied from extremely high in the east and south portions to moderately low across the central and western portions of the region. Late seeding and cool temperatures delayed crop maturity at least seven to 10 days. While there was a lot of precipitation, most of it was timely, leading to above-average yields.

Wheat, barley and canola yielded 20 per cent higher than average. Field peas were near the long-term average.

Crop insurance down, hail up

AFSC crop insurance claims for 2010 are estimated at $127 million, down from $239 million in 2009 but still higher than the 2003 to 2008 average of $57 million.

The number of hail claims through AFSC was up 33 per cent from 2009 but close to the average. The largest storm happened on July 12 affecting 296,060 acres near Strathmore, Standard, Rockyford, Hussar and Langdon.

Optimism

Nobody knows what 2011 will bring but most of the agricultural land in Alberta is sufficient in soil moisture. This year's crop should have a good start except for the Peace region. Low to very low soil moisture reserves will have farmers there looking for a lot of spring moisture. Snow can help, but depending on breakup, only 20 to 35 per cent of that precipitation gets into the soil.

Again, farmers will have their fingers crossed for spring rains. Looking for a “normal year”? Keep looking.

Pushing it — are tight rotations leading to an ever-increasing amount of disease pressure on canola?

Canola rotation performance in Alberta

by Murray Hartman, oilseed specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development

Prairie farmers are seeding more canola because of higher net returns than other crops, but this is being achieved by shortening rotations. Agronomists indicate that very short rotations (canola every second year and canola on canola) are becoming prominent in the traditional canola-growing regions of Alberta.

Recent research experiments on the performance of short canola rotations in Alberta are sparse, and the limited data indicates that continuous canola is lower yielding than other rotation breaks. However, there is a wealth of information in the crop insurance records collected by Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC). This database was used to summarize recent information on the frequency and yield effects of various canola rotation breaks, and canola after different crops.

Two different datasets were extracted from the AFSC database. One dataset contained about 48,000 records from 2001-09 for the yield of canola in relation to years from the last canola crop. Another dataset held 20,000 records from 2004-09 for the yield of canola following various crops (wheat, barley, peas, canola and fallow). Each dataset was filtered to remove records from producers that Continued on page 10

reported the same yield on all their canola fields. Data was summarized by major soil zones which represent the areas in Alberta with different soil, climate and canola-cropping practices. Average yield is not shown for situations with less than 10 data points for confidentiality and reduced reliability due to the limited numbers.

Although the yield comparisons fluctuate from year to year, canola on canola is consistently the lowest yielding. Canola with one- or two-year breaks had similar yield, and the recommended three-year break is best overall.

On average over the six years in the Black DG east zone, canola on canola

yielded 17 per cent less than canola with one or two-year breaks and canola with three-year breaks yielded eight per cent higher than one- or two-year breaks.

The significant yield loss with canola on canola compared to one or two-year breaks was quite consistent among the major canola soil zones (16 per cent in Black/Dark Gray west, 17 per cent in the Peace region, 12 per cent in Thin Black).

Also, other soil zones had a slight yield advantage of the three-year break over one- or two-year break ( four per cent in Black, eight per cent in Dark Brown, and nine per cent in Thin Black).

Although this data illustrates significant yield losses with short canola rotations, larger differences in net returns between canola and other crops can financially justify such short rotations.

Figure 3 illustrates the trend to plant more canola mainly following wheat and barley, and a relatively slower increase in canola on canola. Notice the unusual spikes in various crop stubbles in 2003 and 2004 — crop rotations are often altered for a couple of years after a drought! The Peace River region had a similar trend to more canola on wheat, but the rate of canola on canola increase was similar to that of wheat, while canola on barley was rather stable.

Major soil zone For this article, only graphs from the Black/Dark Gray (east) soil subzone will be shown due to space limitations.

However, this soil zone reflects the same trends in the major canola regions in Alberta (Parkland and Peace River regions). All graphs for the main soil zones growing canola will be posted on AFSC's website later this winter.

Figure 1 shows the trend of shorter canola rotations, and canola every second year is the most popular break interval. In contrast, long rotation intervals such as the recommended three-year break are declining — in fact, now there is more canola on canola than the long rotations! This trend is consistent in other central and northern Alberta soil zones.

The yield implication of short canola rotations is illustrated in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Canola yield for rotation breaks in the Black/Dark gray east soil subzone over 2004-09.

Disease populations will shift due to high selection pressure in short rotations, which is especially worrying for diseases like blackleg and clubroot.

Figure 4 (on following page) compares the yield of canola following various crops to that of canola on wheat in this soil zone. Note how the relative yield of canola in the drought year 2002 jumped following these crops and fallow versus canola on wheat. Although the percentage differences were huge that year, the actual yield differences were much smaller — wheat averaged only about seven bu/ac and thus a 50 per cent yield advantage would still be just 10 bu/ ac. The reason for poor performance of canola on wheat that drought year may be due to less subsoil moisture remaining after wheat than after other crops in 2001.

Trend increase

Other than the drought year of 2002, yield of canola on canola was Figure 3. Number of records for canola planted following various crops in the Black / Dark gray east soil subzone over 2001-09.

Conclusions

much less than canola on wheat. And there appears to be a trend of declining yields following canola compared to canola after wheat. Could this be the first signs of long-term adverse impacts of short-rotation canola?

Canola on wheat generally appears to be the best performer (except

12

yield AlbertA

2011

for that drought year), with canola on barley or peas or summerfallow slightly poorer. Canola yield on peas was quite variable, perhaps due to problems with residual herbicides, common diseases such as sclerotinia, or inappropriate N fertilizer reductions following peas.

In summary, this data confirms that the ancient practice of crop rotation still has benefit for canola production in Alberta. Canola on canola measures about a 15 per cent yield drop compared to canola every two or three years.

Extending the canola rotation to the recommended once every four years will add about another eight per cent yield.

Producers in the major canola-growing regions of Alberta have adopted short rotation canola over the past decade and canola every second year is the most popular rotation.

Although there is a yield penalty for this short rotation, the higher net returns with canola versus other crops justifies short rotations. However, adverse longterm effects of short rotation canola are possible, and thus producers should also incorporate a risk premium when calculating the true cost/benefit of shortrotation canola.

One significant concern is that disease populations will shift due to high selection pressure in short rotations, leading to breakdown of canola variety resistance. This is especially worrying for diseases like blackleg and clubroot.

So there definitely is a tradeoff — shortterm financial gain for possible long term disease pain!

BMPs: Most help the farmer somewhat, but there's one practice which is a clear winner

Are Beneficial Management Practices Actually Beneficial?

by Dawn Trautman Laslop and Scott Jeffrey, Department of Rural Economy, University of Alberta

P

roducers have a pretty good idea of how crops perform under conventional practices, but what happens under different ones? Producers' returns aren't the only factor — the environment is also a consideration. Well-managed land provides more than food. It improves water quality, carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat and recreation. Beneficial management practices (BMPs) can provide these ecological goods and services and while society benefits, BMPs may come at a cost for producers. This study, funded by Alberta Pulse Growers and Alberta Crop Industry Development Fund, looks at the impact of BMP adoption on farm performance.

Benefit/cost analysis

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada recognizes three general categories of BMPs: reducing inputs, controlling erosion and runoff, and barriers and buffers to intercept and contain contaminants. Agricultural BMPs include fertilizer/nutrient management, strip cropping, shelterbelts, buffer strips, cover crops, crop residue management, and conversion of cropland to permanent forage, among others.

To determine the impact of BMPs for Alberta producers, a set of “model” or representative dryland crop farms were identified for major soil zones in Alberta, including Brown, Dark Brown, Black, and Dark Grey soil zones. Statistics Canada data were used to determine an appropriate location and size for each model farm. Crop rotations were determined using expert opinion, Statistics Canada data, and existing literature.

The base rotations for each region are provided in Table 2 where B, C, DW, SF, and SW denote barley, canola, durum wheat, summerfallow, and spring wheat respectively.

Cash flow simulation

Cash flow was calculated with and without BMP adoption.

The simulation modelling takes into account risk of uncertain prices and yields. The model farms are assumed to participate in safety net programs including crop and hay insurance and AgriStability/AgriInvest. Yields were estimated based on past AFSC data.

Performance is modelled over a 40-year period. Annual cash flows are discounted and summed as net present values (NPVs) which represent a final present-day value of the operation.

Each model farm is simulated for a base scenario (i.e. reference point) where there are no BMPs being adopted, and then repeated for each BMP scenario.

Shelterbelts take up cropland, but help retain soil and moisture.

BMPs included shelterbelts, buffer strips around wetlands, crop residue management and crop rotation adjustments. Crop rotation BMPs include the addition of alfalfa hay, field peas, legume green manures and/or oats. However, only results from expanding the rotations to include field peas will be discussed here.

effects of each bMP

• Shelterbelts take up land previously used for crops. In the Brown, Dark Brown, Black, and Dark Grey farms there are 95.4, 76.3, 45.8, and 22.9 hectares lost, respectively. There are also establishment costs of approximately $2,000 per hectare lost. On land directly adjacent there is a potential yield decrease and on the area sheltered by wind there is a potential increase.

The yield effect ranges from minus 49 per cent to plus 17 per cent of the normal yield, specific to crop and region.

• Buffer strips reduce run-off into wetlands by replacing annual crop production with permanent vegetation. However, buffer strips also reduce land available for crop. It is assumed that there is one small wetland per quarter section on each farm. Land lost ranges from approximately nine to twelve hectares for the representative farms. While there is land lost due to buffer strip adoption producers can seed the buffer region to hay and sell the hay at custom rates.

• Residue management. Leaving residue on a field can reduce wind erosion and provide additional soil organic matter. There is a potential yield effect depending on the moisture content of the year, which is indirectly measured using yields.

The residue removed is also sold.

• Rotations. Properly managed rotations can improve soil quality and fertility and farm profitability. In the short term cereals are rotated with broadleaf crops such as oilseeds or pulses to control weeds and reduce herbicide resistance. Field

In the Brown soil zone, adding field peas to the rotation increased the annual value of the farm by 72 per cent. peas can fix nitrogen, which reduces nitrogen input in the year the crop is grown and also in the subsequent year. The BMP rotation where field peas (FP) are added in each region is provided in Table 3.

Adding field peas to the rotation provides a stochastic yield benefit for the subsequent crop ranging from 0 to 10 per cent in the Brown and Dark Brown soil zones and 20 to 30 per cent for the Black and Dark Grey soil zones. Nitrogen effect following field peas is measured as fertilizer savings assuming fertilizer is applied at 33 per cent of normal. Nitrogen savings vary from $17.01/ha to $27.31/ha depending on the region and subsequent crop.

Convincing results

Annualized results from the models are provided in Table 4 where the three non-rotational BMPs are adopted assuming the base rotation.

• Compared to the base rotation, adding shelterbelts decreases the annual value of the farms in proportion to the amount of land lost due to shelterbelt adoption. Losses in value of approximately 24, 14, 6, and 4 per cent occurred for the Brown, Dark Brown, Black, and Dark Grey farms, respectively.

• The adoption of buffer strips and seeding hay in the area came at a loss to the farms as compared to the base situation. However this loss was minimal at one per cent or less for all farms.

• The adoption of residue management resulted in small gains in value for all modelled farms. The farms in the Brown, Dark Brown, Black, and Dark Grey soil zones saw gains in value of approximately 2.1, 3.7, 1.1, and 0.3 per cent from the adoption of

residue management.

• Including field peas in the rotation generally results in strong improvement to the value of the farms. In the Brown soil zone adding field peas to the rotation increased the annual value of the farm by 72 per cent. However field peas also came as a partial replacement for summerfallow in this soil zone so there is also more land under production per year.

In the Dark Brown soil zone the value of the farm is increased by 36 per cent when field peas are in rotation. In the Black soil zone there is actually a small decrease in the value of the farm when field peas are adopted in rotation. This effect is likely due to less land being allocated, overall, to higher-valued crops such as canola.

In the Dark Grey soil zone there is a two per cent increase in farm value when field peas are included in the rotation.

Summary Due to increased yields and reduced input costs, rotational BMPs, specifically field peas, are typically beneficial for the producer. However, it is also apparent that BMPs such as shelterbelts are costly for producers due to high adoption costs and lost acreage.

BMPs such as buffer strips represent a smaller cost to the producer and could be feasible with minor incentives. Residue management as a BMP is shown to have a positive effect on the farm and as such would likely not need external incentives.

Buffer strips reduce run-off into wetlands by replacing annual crop production with permanent vegetation.
