Breakfast Brief “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”

– John F. Kennedy (35th President of the United States) WILL THE STOCKS & ACREAGE REPORT CHANGE THE STORY? (June 28, FarmLead.com) Grain markets this morning are mixed ahead of today’s hotlyanticipated U.S. stocks and acreage report, which will be published at 11AM CST. In Wednesday’s FarmLead Breakfast Brief, I walked through what Statistics Canada said in their June acreage report, and there was quite a lot of buzz on the social networks about what harvested canola acres will actually be, given the dry start to the growing season. Thanks to the export and trade challenges with China, Ag Canada is currently expecting a 2019/20 carryout of 4.3 MMT, which I, and pretty much the entire rest of the industry thinks isn’t likely. While canola prices have fallen on better production expectations with rain finally falling, the other thing leaning on values is the strength of the Canadian Loonie, now sitting up above 76¢ USD. Comparably, in Europe, the rapeseed crop there is taking on some significant heat, but doubling the growing challenge is the lack of available chemical tools to help fight bugs. More specifically, bans on neonicotinoids in France has pushed rapeseed acres in the country to a 14-year low, and those who did plant the oilseed last fall are now battling bugs that they effectively can’t eradicate. The result is an expectation that rapeseed production in Europe will fall more than 6% year-over-year to 18.74 MMT, according to the European Commission. This includes the smallest rapeseed harvest in Germany since 1998!

Panzcak, Fowler Band: the Beatton River Round Up Music Fest in Baldonnel The Horse Ranch is super excited to announce the 1st Annual Beatton River Round Up Music Festival.

It doesn’t get more Peace region country and rockin’ than this.

A family friendly event that goes for two days July 19 and 20 at the fabled Glenn Stewart horse training facility and ranch in Baldonnel: two days of music & entertainment, fair food and unforgettable fun!

“Join our wagon ride and follow our music experience ... there are three pit stops for you to jump off

and enjoy,” says organizer Janine Cumberland An artesian artisan market is in the planning, as well as various Kids Zone activities from bouncy castles, face painting and more are all slated for youth while beef, beer, chili and more will be available in adult zones.

Saturday’s main stage event is Trevor Panzcak (8pm show time) with The Travis Fowler Band in support. For more information, call 250-219-4756

The South China Morning Post is suggesting that the U.S. and China have agreed to a trade war truce ahead of their talks this weekend at the G20 Summit in Japan. Once the trade negotiators do their thing, it’s expected that U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi will sit down face-to-face, but it’s widely expected that China won’t move unless the U.S. scraps its ban on Huawei. Staying in trade talk, a USDA senior official told the media that a trade deal between the EU and the United States won’t happen unless agriculture is involved, and right now, the EU doesn’t want it included in the discussion.

Stocks & Acreage Report Expectations Today At the start of this week, I said that the USDA reports – especially today’s stocks and acreage report – could create some volatility in the grain markets. Since the collection of information for the June acreage report is from June 10th, intentions from that date and what’s happened since then might be two different things. In this case, there is some bearish buzz in the market that the numbers from the USDA won’t reflect the actuality of what’s happened in the past 2 weeks and thus, the report could be taken with a grain of salt by grain markets.

Going in the acreage report, a Reuters poll of grain trade participants is expecting to see about 3 million less acres of corn than the USDA’s June WASDE report planted acres estimate of 89.8M.For soybeans, the area is expected to fall by about 250,000 acres from the June WASDE’s number of 84.6M acres. To help stir the pot a bit, I think we’ll see corn acres at 88.5M and soybean acres at 84.6M in today’s acreage report.

From an inventory perspective, the Reuters poll is expecting U.S. wheat and corn stocks to be fairly similar to where we were a year ago. While we can likely agree that there’s a healthy amount of corn still available, it seems that farmers have locked the bin doors as they wait to see what the growing season actually produces. There’s already speculation of what an early frost might do to this late-planted crop in the United States. That in mind, $5 USD/bushel cash bids in parts of the Western Corn Belt aren’t getting farmers to pull the trigger! As a reminder, 2012 was the last year you could sell cash corn at that level so basically we’re seeing a oncein-a-decade sort of opportunity right now. For soybeans, the markets are expecting U.S. inventories to jump more than 50% to a new record high.

Mixed Holiday Week Weather While the acreage report will likely create the usual “I don’t think that’s accurate” conversations, the good news is that heat and humidity are starting to build in the Midwest, which hopefully will finally dry out some fields and get the crops growing. With the humid weather though, we might see those evening thunderstorms which, unfortunately, could bring about some hail too. Already in Western Canada, hail claims are picking up after the last few weeks of spotty moisture events.

Have a great weekend!

All prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne Market Comments - Grain prices have remained very strong across the prairies given drought conditions in the prairies and significant moisture in the Midwest. There has been rain in key parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan to relieve some pressure on pricing, but that is being counteracted by futures prices increasing today. Proteins have moved up the last couple weeks due to a combination of increasing futures prices and greater demand then expected for DDGS with beef packers dragging contracts and more cattle in lots. Feed peas have continued to bring values to rations at delivered prices of approximately $260-265 Red Deer, $255-260 Saskatoon area, with slightly higher prices in Manitoba. * Models have been updated to reflect the latest nutrient compositions of feed ingredients, which is done periodically.

Feed Pea / Faba Bean Benchmark - The feed pea/faba bean feed benchmarks are intended to be used as a pricing reference. This benchmark provides a consistent and unbiased estimate of the feeding value of peas and low tannin faba beans in the three regions shown. Feed peas and faba beans will trade at various differentials to the benchmark based on local supply/demand, quality differences and other contract terms.

Feed Pea / Faba Bean Feed Benchmark Calculation - The feed pea/faba bean feed benchmarks are an estimate of the feeding value of dry peas/low tannin faba beans in Western Canada, based on the value of competing feed ingredients in swine rations. Bi-weekly, tradable prices for the major feed ingredients are collected for the three regions shown above. These prices are then entered into a least cost feed formulation that is typical for grower-finisher swine in Western Canada. A feeding value is then derived for feed peas/faba beans based on their nutritional characteristics and the prices of the competing feed ingredients. The least cost feed formulation was developed in consultation with the Prairie Swine Centre. In addition to the feed ingredients shown above, the feed formulation also includes canola oil, synthetic lysine, synthetic methionine, synthetic threonine, synthetic tryptophan, mono-dicalcium phosphate, limestone, salt, vitamins and minerals.

Using an invasive weed to help fill the feed gap A recent news release from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) notes that research out of AAFC’s Swift Current station and the University of Saskatchewan has found that kochia has plenty of biomass, making it a viable forage option.

One option producers might want to consider is to bale stunted cereal crops that have kochia growing in the saline areas within them, the release notes.

However, it’s best to harvest kochia before or during the flowering phrase, to reap the highest crude protein and digestibility and for harvest ease. Mature plants have woodier stems, which can be hard on equipment and reduce forage quality and digestibility. Harvested kochia would benefit from some form of hay conditioning that crimps or crushes the forage to promote faster and more even

drying.

Harvesting before seed set also reduces the plant’s spread. The release notes this would be sometime in July for most of the southern Prairies.

One very important consideration when feeding kochia is that it can contain saponins, alkaloids, oxalates and nitrates in amounts that can be harmful or toxic to cattle. Therefore, no more than 50 per cent of the ration should consist of kochia.

Producers can blend hay bales from fields of failed cereal crops containing high kochia content with other forages to ensure safe levels. AAFC also recommends submitting forage samples to a feed testing laboratory to ensure forages are meeting livestock production needs.

Researchers discover bacteria that detoxifies DON Researchers have discovered bacteria that convert grain vomitoxins to a non-toxic form.

Vomitoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON) are produced by fungi that infect cereal species. Grain contaminated with DON can’t be consumed by people, and can only be safely fed to livestock if levels are low. DON is also resistant to heat treatment and regular processing methods, making it difficult to deal with.

them suitable to industrial application, such as the fact that they don’t need DON as a food source to grow. They can also grow at lower temperatures and in the presence of oxygen.

That means the bacteria, or the enzymes, may be used to reduce contamination in grain.

“Vomitoxin, or DON, has been a serious issue for corn and other cereal crops for a long time,” says Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) scientist Dr. Ting Zhou in a release.

“With no satisfactory solutions, we decided to try a new and creative approach.”

The next step for researchers is to partner with industry to develop commercial products containing microbes and enzymes that can detoxify DON-contaminated grain.

AAFC researchers found a new soil bacterial species that produces two enzymes that convert DON to a non-toxic form. The bacteria have several characteristics that make

Mitigate risk now with fixed rate loans Speculation about a possible Bank of Canada interest rate cut later this year has pressured fixed rates down, which is good news for farmers.

“I do think it’s a great opportunity to lock in rates and establish a bit of certainty going forward,” says J.P. Gervais, Farm Credit Canada’s vice-president and chief agricultural economist.

“That’s an excellent opportunity for people... because it limits their risk,” adds Lance Stockbrugger, a farmer and chartered accountant.

Don’t wait The spread between variable versus fixed interest rates has shrunk to the point that fixed and variable are really close, Gervais says.

Waiting for the Bank of Canada to come through with a rate cut could result in lower variable rates. However, that action comes

at the risk of no central bank policy change coming to fruition, and possibly even rates going up.

“The question to me is not, ‘what is the cheapest rate out there,’ but, ‘what’s the price for me to mitigate risk of seeing rates move up?’”

Gervais says. “Right now the price to lock in and mitigate that financial risk is pretty low.”

Certainty Stockbrugger stresses that lower fixed rates shouldn’t be ignored.

“In the economic environment we’re in, (further) decreases are going to be hard to come by,” Stockbrugger says.

Both he and Gervais point out current fixed rates are giving farmers longer-term certainty about their interest expenses.

“Whereas if it’s floating and interest rates go up, your cash flow requirements are going to be higher each year,” Stockbrugger says.

The best fields start with the best seed.

Seed for Success

Budgeting Certainty also allows farmers to better budget, making them able to plan their spending around what they’ve got committed to cover interest and pay down debt.

Locking in interest rates on long-term debt provides certainty about interest rate expenses and makes budgeting easier. Tweet this “It’s just going to be so much easier for planning, both capital purchases and day-to-day cash flow,” Stockbrugger says.

As a portion of farmers’ debt will always be variable as it comprises their operating loans, Stockbrugger advises long-term debt on capital like land and equipment is where farmers should seriously look at locking-in interest rates.

Heavily leveraged A lot of borrowed money is on the line, as Statistics Canada recently reported Canadian farm

debt has reached a record $106 billion.

Interest expenses reached $593 million in 2018, a 19.5 per cent gain on the year, due to higher debt and higher interest rates.

Gervais points out that with over $100 billion on the line, even a small change in Bank of Canada rates could have a very large impact, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in interest expenses paid on farms.

Bottom line The possibility of the Bank of Canada decreasing interest rates later this year means fixed interest rates are down, creating an ideal environment to lock in lower rates.

Experts advise seeking the price that best mitigates risk of rising rates, rather than just going with the cheapest rate.

The Northern Horizon, July 5, 2019

Government of Canada supports awareness and youth engagement in the agriculture sector Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Veterans Affairs, on behalf of Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, was at Rollo Bay Holdings Inc. potato farm in Prince Edward Island to announce an investment of more than $1.5 million to Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C). The investment will help inspire interest in agriculture careers to build a stronger, more sustainable agriculture sector.

“Agriculture in the Classroom helps raise awareness and educate young Canadians on the role of our hard-working farm families and their important contribution to creating jobs and growing our economy. Agriculture is one of Canada’s most important industries. Our government is proud to support projects like these that foster the next generation of farmers and processors,” bellowed Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Veterans Affairs.

The investment was made under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership through the AgriCompetitiveness and AgriDiversity programs.

AgriCompetitiveness funding of almost $1 million will help raise awareness of agriculture and increase youth engagement, develop new and expand existing online educational tools, and engage industry through ongoing information sessions and learning events.

“Agriculture in the Classroom Canada, alongside its provincial members, is deeply grateful to receive this generous investment through the CAP program. Canadians have a strong and proud agricultural history, which extends far beyond farming and into science, technology, engineering, math, business and more. With this contribution, and through sector-wide collaboration, we will be able to reach more young Canadians than ever before to share this important story and inspire a lifelong passion for learning about agriculture and food,” also bellowed Johanne Ross, Executive Director, Agriculture in the Classroom Canada.

Under AgriDiversity, an investment of more than $500,000 will enable AITC-C to create and further develop tools and programs related to agriculture to be used in Canadian classrooms at all grade levels, increasing educators’ capacity to teach agriculture literacy. Through this project, AITC-C will engage directly with students using in-person and online resources to foster a greater understanding of the agriculture and agri-food industry. These efforts will enhance interest in the sector’s career opportunities and overall public trust.

11

AgriCompetitiveness Program funding supports sector-led activities that identify industry best practices and build the capacity of the sector, advance farm business management, farm safety information and tools, and increase agricultural awareness.

The AgriDiversity Program will provide matching contributions to support activities that help strengthen Canada’s agriculture sector by helping the sector to better leverage the potential offered by youth, women, Indigenous Peoples and persons with disabilities.

The Canadian Agricultural Partnership is a five-year, $3 billion investment by federal, provincial and territorial governments which is strengthening the agriculture and agri-sector, ensuring continued innovation, growth and prosperity.

Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITCC) is a national charitable organization that operates from coast to coast with nine provincial AITC members to deliver accurate, balanced, and current curriculum-linked agri-food resources, programs, and initiatives that are based on science.

IAF bids farewell to longest-standing program manager

Now the Director of Client Relations, her tenure has seen no shortage of challenges, opportunities and adventures. Beloved for her optimism and energy, Coreen

views not only her success but her entire scope of work as merely one part of a larger whole, with every achievement defined by the relationships they influence and inspire.

“This is a great place to work if you want to feel like you’ve accomplished something, I know people really appreciate the work that IAF does and the support it gives,” she explains. “In my role I’m often on the receiving end of that recognition, having worked with clients on hundreds of applications to help build their projects.”

Cheyenne Ag Services Ltd (formerly Riverside Welding & Supply)

Eleva�ng the Standards of Agriculture Equipment Manufacturing Our company manufactures a range of the finest heavy-duty equipment including bale feeders, portable corrals, ca�leguards and more. We serve farmers, equestrians, ranchers and feedstore owners all over Canada.

And while she has either managed or collaborated on more than a dozen funding programs and initiatives in areas like agricultural area planning, labour, innovation, export and apiculture, her favourite projects allowed her to work directly with farming committees to address pressing issues like biosecurity and animal care, or opportunities like agri-tourism.

“It’s the next step in working directly with and for farmers again, that’s what I’m looking forward to,” she says. “It takes my favourite part of working with IAF and makes it my core activities.”

The Poultry Biosecurity Initiative, for instance, while initially the most challenging pursuit, resulted in a significant decrease of Avian Influenza and reduced impacts to industry.

“Working with good staff makes all the difference – we support each other and that’s made it a really great place to work,” she emphasizes, adding that she’s also enjoyed many rewarding relationships with IAF directors over the years as well.

For Coreen, the diversity of responsibilities entrusted to her is one of the many reasons she’s chosen to remain with IAF for over a decade.

“When you think of all the work we have done as an organization its pretty broad, its hit almost every area of need,” she describes.

Conversely, its also what’s allowed her to focus her interests and encouraged her to launch her own business, CORAN Consulting.

Her first opportunity – serving as the BC Cranberry Marketing Commission’s new General Manager!

But like most transitions in life, the change is bittersweet, with her departure leaving an undeniable void for her teammates.

“They are really industry leaders who put so much of their own time into making IAF successful and their industry successful.”

With the last 15 years reflecting a mix of elements simultaneously stimulating, dynamic, fun and heartwarming, Coreen leaves stronger than when she arrives, primed for her next role.

“There are no lost opportunities – I’ve done it all, which is why I feel like I can finally go.”

R0011639539

When Coreen Rodger Berrisford first set foot in IAF in 2004, she was expecting a temporary assignment from her regular post with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Hoping to work more directly with industry, she accepted a six-month contract as a Program Manager.

But by the end of her term she realized “this was it,” an epiphany which sparked a fifteen-year career with the Foundation.

The Northern Horizon, July 5, 2019

A year in the life of a hive – beekeeping

By Dr. Charlotte Corbett Bees, like any other livestock, are prone to diseases. Beekeepers work hard to ensure their hives are healthy and strong, as well as produce pure, delicious honey.

In the spring, beekeepers examine their hives. They look for vitality of the hive and signs of disease. At this time, beekeepers may treat for American Foulbrood, Varroa mites and Nosema. After any treatment, beekeepers must adhere to withdrawal regulations to ensure there is no residues in the honey crop. The hives are fed in the early spring to help them bridge the gap between their honey stores and the flow of pollen in the environment.

The summer is the busiest time for the bees and a favorite time of beekeepers. The bees are working hard bringing in pollen and nectar from flowers and turning it into golden honey. A bee’s abilities are incredible. The human equivalent is to run from Dawson Creek to Grande Prairie, find a field with directions given by interpretive dance, drink 50 litters of nectar, run back, regurgitate the nectar and repeat – about 10 times per day. The average hive produces 180 lbs of honey per year. Some hives produce up to 800 lbs. A hive is made of boxes. 1-2 boxes on the bottom are for brood or young.

The queen is kept in this area to prevent eggs

being laid in the honey boxes (supers). Honey supers are added to the top of the hive throughout the year as they fill up. Some producers will take the full honey supers and add empty ones to the top.

In the fall, beekeepers harvest the honey.

They ensure the bees have enough honey or time to produce honey in order to survive the winter. A well-fed hive is extremely important to keep hives alive and strong during the long winter months. After the honey is harvested, beekeepers test for diseases, especially Varroa mites. If the percentage of mites is over a certain threshold the bees are treated. If left untreated, the mites will kill most of the bees during the winter. Nosema is another very important winter disease that can devastate a hive. Bees only defecate on warm, sunny winter days during short flights out of the hive. If a bee develops diarrhea, the disease can rapidly spread through a hive during the winter, killing many bees. The brood boxes are generally

15

treated against American Foulbrood, Varroa mites and Nosema at this time.

During the long cold winter, the beekeepers enjoy their honey on toast, in tea or as a snack, complete with sections of honeycomb. The bees stay active all winter long but decrease the number of bees in the hive. They huddle together to keep the hive warm. Beekeepers will wrap up their bees in stacks of 4 with insulation around them outside or have a storage shed to keep them in.

As of December 1, 2018 the regulations changes concerning all Medically Important Antimicrobials in food producing animals.

Antimicrobials can only be prescribed by a veterinarian. This regulation includes medications such as oxytetracycline and tylosin, used to prevent American Foulbrood. In order to prescribe the medications, a veterinarian must have a valid Veterinarian-Client-PatientRelationship (VCPR) with the beekeeper. To establish a VCPR beekeepers in British Columbia and Alberta must be registered with the provincial apiculturist, the veterinarian needs a history of previous disease and management practices and needs to inspect or have pathology reports on the disease in question. Inspection of colonies before dispensing antibiotics can be done by the veterinarian or the provincial apiculturist.

SHEPHERD’S DIARY

by Andy Tschetter

Sheep shearing brings fun and enrichment for all (Andy Tschetter is in charge of the sheep operation at the Peace View Hutterite Colony and provides a diary account of wintertime experiences with the sheep, as well as highlights from the past years travels in the Peace region.)

Winter here in the Peace can be long and harsh. From October through to April, periodic snowstorms and bouts of frigid -20°C chills intermingle with January and February chinooks. The encroaching spring and summer months are a joyful prospect for rural and urban folk alike.

The same goes for the sheep whose fleeces grow to over 3 inch-

es in length by mid-April and it becomes prudent for Peace farmers to shear their woolly ovine subjects with the arrival of warm weather.

Our sheep shearing usually takes place over a 2-day period as we opt to shear the rams and ewe lambs the first day. The shearers consist of most of the young men in the Colony who have taken a break from their duties among other livestock divisions to assist with shearing for the day. Most are keen on developing their skills at harvesting the wool, improving shearing technique and on proper maintenance of their handpiece and electric motor.

Our fastest shearer is Karl Tschetter, from the neighboring South Peace Colony. He has arrived with a few colleagues to help, bringing a few extra motors and clippers. Karl took a passion for shearing at a young age, developed speed and honed in on the technique of rotating the animal as he shears – all the while keeping it comfortable. His expertise is sought by all upcoming shearers eager to learn.

Uncle Paul stands by to operate the wool press, a hydraulic chute pressing over 300 pounds of wool into 5 x 6 foot nylon bags. The children arrive from school to watch the proceedings and are allowed to play ‘tumble’ atop the growing stack of bagged wool. The young ladies keep the shearing floor clean carrying fresh fleeces to be processed and sweeping the floor of wool tags and dirty wool discarded by the shearers. The fleeces seem to fly off the ewes and arrive faster than Uncle Paul is able to press them into the bags.

Meanwhile, in the communal kitchen, the ladies prepare the noon meal. Lunch is brought to the sheep camp. We set up tables near the barn. Hamburgers, home baked buns, baked beans, French fries and apple pie – the menfolk eat a hearty meal. It is day 2 and there are 200 ewes waiting to be shorn. Says Uncle Paul, “By golly, at least now I’ll be able to catch up to the guys with packing wool.

We’ll see how fast you guys perform now with full bellies, huh?”

Just after 3 pm, the final ewe is shorn; she takes a satisfactory leap from the shearing floor and runs to join her companions outside eating their daily rations of hay. All done! Tired bones for the menfolk – they’ve sheared 500 animals in a day and a half. There is a good feeling of accomplishment and ‘Happy Hour’ consists of a glass of wine. The lowly ovine has succeeded in bringing everyone together!

Animal nutrition is important in fleece quality throughout the winter. A consistent supply of good forage and access to mineral and water yields a nice firm wool clip. Interestingly, the cold North American winter climate works to

develop density and strength in the wool. As grapes are crushed to produce fine wine – hence the lustre of fine wool breeds becomes duly pronounced in types such as Rambouillet – the French version of the Merino. Louis XVI imported 359 Spanish Merinos for his estate at Rambouillet in 1786 after the Spanish relaxed their centuries old ban and the Merinos were crossed with the resident sheep. The resultant Rambouillet ovine were first brought to the United States in 1840. A range sheep, they became popular in the Canadian west because of the ability to survive in harsh conditions. They are long lived and have a slightly higher prolificacy than the Merino. Although the lambs finish at a slower rate than the Down breeds, they produce a strong carcass. Down rams such as Hampshire, Dorset or Suffolk are often used to improve the meat characteristics while preserving the hardiness and flocking instinct of the Rambouillet. Hand spinners and weavers pay a premium for the fleece.

Although Canada’s approximately 3 million pounds of raw wool is only a fraction of world production, our wool has developed a niche in world markets given its high elasticity. This springiness enables wool to retain its original shape and is blended with wool from other countries that have less of this trait. Roughly 10% of Canada’s production is consumed here at home and the remaining 90% is exported to Spain, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, United States, China and India.

The Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers (CCWG) with head offices in Ontario provides for most Canadian sheep farmers primary services in wool marketing, collecting and grading. Fleeces are sacked and shipped to various agents and CCWG branches across the country and shipped subsequently to Ontario for grading and marketing. Wool is weighted on arrival and then graded and core tested. The raw wool is inspected by hand and classified by average diameter and length of the fibre, colour, lustre and crimp. The graded greasy wool is packed in 600 pound bales and shipped to world markets.

Know crop values, pest numbers before you spray

Spraying to control insect pests costs money. Knowing when it makes economic sense to do so depends on the severity of the problem – and the worth of the crop, experts say.

According to Brian Voth, president of IntelliFARM Inc., – a grain marketing company in Western Canada - spending more to protect higher-value crops, like canola, makes more sense to his clients.

This is particularly true given the accordingly higher investment required to produce each acre.

The cost-to-profit ratio for lower-value commodities might not pencil-out.

“There’s a lot of incentive to do what’s necessary to ensure that crop yields everything it can,” Voth

says. “If [oats] are at $3 a bushel, you can afford some loss there before it would make economic sense to go and spray.”

James Tansey, provincial insect and vertebrate pest management specialist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, also says pest tolerance thresholds generally decrease with a higher commodity price and reduced control cost.

Insect pest math: do you know when it makes economic sense to spray your crops? Tweet this Know insect numbers Making a recommendation to spray requires a lot of counting, says Emma Epp, a certified crop advisor and crop sales specialist with AGRIS Co-operative in southwestern Ontario.

“We would be trapping insects, counting insect populations and determining what the thresholds are at the current crop stage,” Epp says. “The habit would be creating good integrated pest management practices.”

Keeping the farm’s crop advisor up-to-speed and listening to them when they say a pest has reached its peak threshold, she says, is important.

“We will only recommend spraying if it is essential to spray,” Epp says.

Know your budget Overall, Voth says knowing whether pest control makes objective sense requires a real, working budget. However, not every farm has one.

“Once they have that cost of production, go and plug in those scenarios... It’s really easy to run a what-if scenario to see how it changes the cost and input ratio,” says Voth. “If it’s questionable, I would ask what the point is.”

Tansey reiterates the cost of any control effort should be carefully calculated so as not to exceed crop returns. This involves accounting for all the control costs – including fuel, labour, wear on machinery and even the effects on beneficial insects.

“Knowledge of the biology and identity of the pests is essential and will increase the predictability and efficacy of control efforts,” Tansey says.

“Don’t just spray if there are insects, in the broad sense, in a field.

If they are not pests, or pests but not at economic levels, you are wasting money.”

Bottom line Experts advise careful consideration of the costs of protecting crops from harmful insects before making the decision to spray. Issues like crop value, the farm’s integrated pest management practices and the cost of spraying should also be considered.

Don’t let those drought-stressed forages go to seed Determining the right time to cut a hay stand could mean the difference between harvesting a second cut or the stand becoming dormant, says a provincial forage and beef specialist.

“A lack of sufficient moisture stresses plants, and that is certainly apparent this spring,” said Karin Lindquist. “Plants that do not get enough moisture are usually stunted and are forced to set seed earlier than normal. Management considerations — for hay production especially — when faced with such issues are timely.”

Drive Away Hunger campaign underway The initiative supports meal programs in 100 schools across the country and since its inception, has provided more than 50 million meals.

According to Food Banks Canada, more than four million Canadians — both working and unemployed — live with food insecurity and hunger. More than one million people go to their lo-

cal food bank every month.

Donations are being accepted until Oct. 18. The campaign culminates with supporters driving a tractor and trailer through communities to collect donations for food banks.

For more information, including a list of most-needed food items, go to fccdriveawayhunger.ca.

“While the hay may cause some feed refusal, soil-borne molds typically do not contain mycotoxins,” said Lindquist.

“However, feed quality can certainly be reduced by 10 to 20 per cent or more.”

Allowing plants to reach seed set when growing a forage stand for hay or pasture is a distinct disadvantage, said Lindquist.

“By the time the rains arrive, the plants will be able to take full advantage of the sudden arrival of moisture to provide greater yields than the previous first cut.”

How biofuels drive demand for grains and oilseeds

have, on average, a renewable content of at least 2%. Some provinces adopted higher mandated blend rates for ethanol and/or diesel fuel.

Canadian consumption of motor fuel has driven growth in consumption of blended biofuel between 2013 and 2017 (Table 1).

Ethanol blending has surpassed the minimum 5% blending standard required under the federal mandate. Biomass-based diesel blending sometimes has fallen below the minimum 2% because some diesel

R0011645501

You may not realize that your car runs on some form of biofuels.

Most developed countries, including Canada, mandate minimum blending of biofuels into fossil fuels. Wheat and corn are the main feedstocks to produce ethanol, and its mandate into motor fuels increases demand for these grains.

In Canada, most biodiesel production uses animal fat and used cooking oil, but also canola and soybean. Facing uncertain markets for grains and oilseeds, biofuel mandates have provided a predictable demand that has also supported prices in the past.

Why most developed countries, including Canada, mandate minimum blending of biofuels into fossil fuels. Tweet this Biofuels in Canada – a brief overview Biofuel policies have contributed to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Because ethanol is a low-cost octane enhancer, it also lowers gasoline prices at the pump.

But biofuel policies are not without controversy. They’ve helped increase crop prices, benefiting grain farms, but not the farms that use grain as an input.

Since December 2010, Canadian federal regulations require a renewable content of at least 5% on average for gasoline. Diesel must

is exempted from the federal mandate.

Notes: Biomass-based diesel includes biodiesel and hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel. The estimated consumption data come from Navius Research.

Growth in consumption could suggest growth in production. Canada imported about 1,200 million litres (Ml) more than it exported in 2017. Consuming about 3,000 Ml means that Canada produced about 1,800 Ml of ethanol in 2017, a slight increase from 2013. Canada net imports of biomass-based diesel were about 125 Ml in 2017, implying that Canada produced about 575 million litres of biomass-based diesel in 2017, a significant increase from 2013. That was thanks to the growth in the production of renewable diesel.

Where are U.S. biofuel policies headed?

With the Canadian market tied so closely to the U.S. market, developments south of the border greatly influence what happens here. Biofuel policies in Canada and the U.S. have provided price support to North American crops for over a decade. However, U.S. biofuel policies have been the sub-

ject of important modifications, which has affected incentives to produce biofuels and grain demands.

The obligation to meet biofuel blending requirements in the U.S. falls onto fossil fuel refineries.

However, the total blending obligation has been diminished recently with several refineries receiving exemptions. This diminishes the demand for biofuels, especially biomass-based diesel, which is largely produced from U.S. soybeans.

However, ethanol blending received an apparent boost with the recent authorization of gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol. The impact of the waiver will likely be limited, especially in the short run because of cars running on gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol and a general lack of consumer acceptance of ethanol in gasoline.

The impact of these policies will likely provide little to no change in the U.S. demand for corn for ethanol production. They also contribute to a weaker demand for soybeans for biodiesel production.

For 2019, grains and oilseeds cannot expect a growing demand from the biofuel sector.

You’ve got your feed results — now what?

By Beef Cattle Research Council Two new online tools for measuring feed quality are now available.

The tools (developed by the Alberta Beef, Forage and Grazing Centre) can help flag potential nutritional problems, and identify the comparative economic value of different feeds based on their quality.

Feed testing can prevent ‘sneaky production problems ‘ (such as poor gains or reduced conception caused by mineral or nutrient deficiencies or excesses); identify toxicity issues (caused by mycotoxins, nitrates, sulphates, or other minerals or nutrients); develop nutritionally appropriate rations; identify nutritional gaps that may require supplementation; identi-

39

fy opportunities to include diverse ingredients; and accurately price feed.

One of the tools is for evaluating feed test results.

While not intended for use in ration balancing, it can identify potential issues with individual feed ingredients.

Users first select the cattle class (backgrounding, replacements, mature cows or mature bulls) and then either the average daily gain (for backgrounding) or stage of production (for the other three classes). The weight of the cattle is entered in Step 3 and in the last step, the results of feed tests are entered.

The suitability of the feed is indicated by a colour-coded response. Green indicates that the nutrient is adequate to meet nutritional requirements. Yellow indicates the TDN requirements are within a range of plus or minus 2.5 per cent; within plus or minus five per cent for CP requirements; and 0.05 per cent below mineral requirements. Red indicates the feed does not meet animal requirements.

The second tool evaluates the economic value of feeds based on nutrient content.

It uses the current price of a reference feed (such as barley, canola meal, or another option chosen by the producer) and feeds that are under consideration.

For links to both tools and a full explanation on how to use them, go to beefresearch.ca

Chase versus control What is the difference between chase and control? There are basically two styles of working dogs that people use. One is the chase style of dog and the other is a dog who works livestock with control and finesse.

Normally a chase dog will get behind stock and bite or harass the stock to get lots of forward movement. This dog is often very helpful moving a large herd that needs to be kept travelling, especially if the terrain is hilly, swampy or just tough going. A chase dog will keep harassing the stock that break off and keep them moving so they don’t go hide in the brush or get left behind. This can be valuable help and save the rider a lot of work. The draw back to this type of dog is that they may also chase stock through fences or places where the handler does not want them to be as they often don’t have much training or obedience on them. They largely learn “on the job” as their requirement is chiefly to chase stock straight forward.

A dog that has control of stock is a dog who willingly takes direction from the handler while taking stock in a specific direction at the discretion of the handler.

This dog will be able to change the direction of the stock, gather and bring the stock back to the handler, or drive the stock away

from the handler as required. The stock will be moved calmly as the dog has been taught to respect the flight zone of the animals and will keep out of this zone so the stock remains calm while moving. The dog will move in closer if the handler asks but will not just be biting and chewing at his own discretion.

He will wait until the handler asks for more aggression.

Often people that have not been around a trained dog think they are not aggressive enough. While this may be true of some dogs, many dogs that have training are simply taught that livestock are to be treated with care and respect.

They are not to be ran and hassled but rather worked and treated respectfully. This is not to say the stock is not to be bitten as some stock need encouragement to move. However, the dog should bite in a calm manner and carry on with its job, not be running around like a fool creating havoc.

Often a dog that is running around looks like he is doing a lot when the reality is he is accomplishing very little except upsetting everything. On the other hand, a dog that looks like it is doing little may be very efficiently getting the job done with composure and selfconfidence.

When farm kids learn and earn The following is a fictional case study created by BDO Canada.

Ben and Laurie are big believers in running their beef and cash crop farm like a business. But it’s also a true family farm with parents and kids working together. Their three children all play a significant role in the day-to-day operations.

Emma is 16, Clair is 14 and Andy is 12. All three participate in different 4-H clubs, perform daily chores and help out as required during busy spring and fall periods.

For Ben and Laurie, presenting a positive attitude and highlighting the opportunities the farm offers are very important. Ben had grown up providing “sweat equity” on the family farm and had always envied his high school friends who had spending money from part-time jobs in town. Without any compensation from his parents, time in the barn was not a positive experience. He vowed his children would never feel that way, so he and Laurie always made sure Emma, Clair and Andy were paid for their time.

As the compensation became more significant, Ben and Laurie wanted to make sure they were handling things properly from a tax perspective. They knew there were tax benefits to paying the kids for their labour and they wanted to formalize the process rather than

just paying with cash on hand. The first step was to create a payroll plan and set it up in the farm’s accounting software. Knowing that Canada Revenue Agency could question compensation to minors, he decided the wage would be appropriate to their ages and skills.

Kids start their own farm enterprises Emma had been talking all winter about growing and selling sweet corn from the farm this summer. Clair’s experience with the 4-H beef club had her thinking about raising a few steers for freezer beef sales. Not wanting to be left out, Andy was interested in taking over the 15 hens and brown egg business from his mother.

Ben and Laurie were impressed but a little overwhelmed by this flurry of entrepreneurial zeal. They were all in to support the kids and their enterprises, but they had to get organized.

Their first task was to ensure Emma, Clair and Andy had thought through their plans carefully. Had they researched what their expenses would be? Did they have enough money to pay for the expenses that would come up front before the revenues were earned? How would they market their products? And who would look after their additional chores if they were away or

wanted to go out with friends?

Once satisfied they were all serious about their chosen ventures, Ben worked with them to find simple cost-of-production spreadsheets online to help them track expenses and revenues. They all got accordion files to hold receipts and records. The family accountant advised that each one should run their business ventures through their own bank account and not through the farm accounts.

If they were going to do this, they wanted to do it properly right from the start.

Saving for the future Ben and Laurie had always encouraged savings, but with three teenagers the cost of smart phone plans, expectations for vehicle access and post-secondary education looming, it was time to set some guidelines. They had a family meeting and agreed that regular farm wages would be put into the kids’ bank accounts with the expectation that they would be responsible in their spending choices.

However, at the end of the year half of the profits from the sweet corn, beef and egg businesses would be invested into something other than their bank accounts.

They explained that might be an investment at the bank or back into expanding the business. Andy

immediately did some napkin math and figured out he could buy 10 more hens by the end of the year with half the profits from egg sales.

Ben and Laurie had opened a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) account for their children when they were young and had put money into it sporadically over the years, but they knew they were not getting the maximum co-funding from government. With Emma finishing grade 10 and planning to go to college in two years, they set up monthly contributions to ensure RESPs got topped up for Clair and Andy.

Their accountant clarified that if each of the kids had less than $12,000 of taxable income they should not have any taxes owing and therefore no obligation to file a tax return. He suggested Emma might consider filing to be eligible for certain tax credits and to start building her own RRSP allowances.

Ben and Laurie felt good about the learning opportunities their plan held for their family. They knew there would be challenges with the enterprises, but that’s part of the education. When Clair found a free timesheet app they could use to track hours and wages, Mom and Dad realized they were learning too.

How to build a solid farm management team Building the right farm business management team can take time, but the effort can pay off in longterm growth and profitability.

“First you need to identify your farm’s needs and then start building your team,” says farmer and BDO Canada’s national agricultural practice development leader, Maggie Van Camp.

“Be really clear about what you want your advisors to do for you,” adds Elaine Froese, farm family transition coach and farmer.

Accountants A team that’s not the right fit could result in costly errors.

When it comes to finding good accountants, start with ensuring they have a charter professional accountant designation, Van Camp advises. Besides the rigorous training, CPAs belong to a governing body with rules and regulations on professional development and conduct.

She also believes farm accountants should be knowledgeable about agriculture. Ask questions.

Do they have a farming background? Do they know about and understand key issues in the ag sector? How many farm clients do they have?

And don’t just choose someone who’s nearby: expertise should trump geography.

“It’s becoming more and more important for farms to have a quality accountant who really knows Canadian agriculture,” Van Camp says.

Resources The Canadian Association of Farm Advisors can be a useful resource for farmers to help them separate the wheat from the chaff.

CAFA was created to protect farm families and businesses by raising the standards of all farm advisors, and ensure them access to quality and timely advice, says executive director Liz Robertson.

Farmers can call CAFA or check out its website, which lists members like accountants, lawyers, bankers, financial planners and family coaches.

References Robertson adds another way to ensure credibility of potential team candidates is to ask for references from other farmers and/or their current, trusted advisors.

Van Camp points out excellent advisors will recommend the best in other fields because they will already be working with them regularly.

“Word-of-mouth referrals to me are the litmus test. That’s how I find good advice,” adds Froese.

Accountability A team’s performance also

needs to be monitored, and loyalty should take a backseat to outcomes.

Although many farmers might not be willing to have those difficult conversations, Froese insists it’s not ungracious to be clear about what your expectations of service are.

Decisions and billing should be questioned if something has gone wrong. Don’t just eat the costs of a plan that went awry or over bud-

get, Froese says.

And there may come a time when a parting of the ways becomes necessary, even if hard to do.

Bottom line Building a farm management team takes time and effort, but the dividends are valuable. If the team isn’t working out, it’s OK to make change and find new members.

Canola meal, oil and seed: a look at profitability across the supply chain A strong domestic processing industry is one of the reasons canola prices have not declined sharply under current market access constraints. Margins for canola crushers are expected to improve in 2019 with lower export demand leading to weaker producer prices while demand for canola oil and canola meals remains strong.

Canola crusher margins projected higher in 2019-20 Strong domestic and export demands for canola oil coupled with continued market access for canola meal have been supportive

of canola crush margins (figure 1).

Through the first three months of 2019, canola oil prices have averaged $1,000/tonne, 2.0% higher than 2018. Meal prices have averaged $356/tonne, a 3.5% decline.

Crush margins look to be improving through the remainder of 2019-20 due to: declining global vegetable oil stocks increasing global demand for oilseed meal market access constraints for Canadian canola seed exports to China

EASTMAN AUCTIONEERING AUCTION CALENDAR JULY 13 – JIM UMBACH, Shaftesbury Trail, Peace River, AB Highlights – Antique Furniture, Complete Household, Tools & Miscellaneous JULY 20 – SUMMER CONSIGNMENT SALE, Grimshaw, AB Highlights – Peter Jonk & other Consignors

The November 2019 futures contract price for canola is currently $470/tonne, roughly 8% lower than the 2018 average producer price and 2% lower than November 2018 assuming a $35 basis. Yet, uncertainty around the overall canola supply for 2019 provide some upside for prices.

Expectations of lower producer prices have shifted seeded acres away from canola. AAFC estimates that canola seeded acres declined 6.6% in 2019 as compared to 2018.

Dry conditions across many parts of Western Canada must be monitored. While early, potential for below-average yields and reduced harvested acres could further reduce domestic supply.

Canola crushing important to Canada’s agriculture and agri-food industry Over the past 10 years, Canadian canola crushers have on average processed 43% of domestic

production as crusher capacity has expanded at a similar pace than production. Canola demand from crushers has more than doubled from 4.14 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) in 2009 to 9.27 MMT in 2018, a 124% increase.

This has contributed to robust growth in canola production and Canada’s food manufacturing sector. Over the past 10 years, GDP for grain and oilseed milling has expanded at an average annual rate of 5.3% compared to average growth of 2.2% for food manufacturing and 1.8% for the overall Canadian economy.

The investment in Canada’s canola crushing industry has been a strong pillar of food manufacturing growth. It is supportive of the entire supply chain, from primary producers to consumers.

5 tips for navigating uncertainty in canola markets As market access issues continue to challenge canola seed exports to China, support for canola producers is available, including additional credit through Agriculture and Agri Food Canada’s Advance Payments Program.

Jim Everson, president of the Canola Council of Canada, says this is an ideal time for Canada to bolster its efforts to provide its top quality products to other markets. “We need to seize the opportunity to develop markets, especially in Asia, building on our trade agreements,� Everson says.

While industry and government work to resolve the situation and find alternate markets for canola, there are proactive steps producers can take to minimize the financial impact on their operations.

Robyn Morley, a farm management consultant with the accounting, tax and business consulting firm MNP, offers these five tips to canola producers affected by market uncertainty.

1. Control costs Morley advises controlling costs through production planning. She says while it’s a bad idea to restrict nutrients and practices that provide an economic return, this is not the case for every input. “It will be very important to analyse growing conditions and weather as we move through the growing season,� Morley says.

2. Know input and operational costs Understanding input and operational costs for the year can help producers make sound production, management and marketing decisions through the year. Breaking the numbers down may distinguish if there are areas of inefficiency or excess spending.

Tips recommended by the experts: additional supports and resources, strategic cost control, sharpened marketing plans and financial contingency plans. Tweet this 3. Balance wants and needs Producers should also review their discretionary spending and really analyze if a purchase is a want or a need, Morley says.

4. Sharpen the marketing plans While efforts are underway to find alternative markets and to resolve trade barriers, it is uncertain when markets will open. Morley also recommends producers focus on their marketing plans . “Marketing plans tie into knowing your cost of production,� she says. “If you know what it costs to grow your crop, you’ll know what your breakeven price will be when selling the grain.�

5. Know your finances It’s more important than ever for producers to know their finances. “If this becomes a long-term issue, proper contingency plans will have to be put in place to

account for this uncontrollable circumstance,�

Morley says. “Depending on the financial status of the farm operation, this drop in prices is going to be a significant hit. It could take two to 10 years to pay back this market loss of revenue. Proper planning is critical.�

Find experts Farm management consultants can help producers understand input and operating costs, breakeven prices and the financial numbers they need to be aware of.

Producers can check out the Canola Council of Canada’s centralized resource for common questions and updates for regularly updated information on trade with China.

Bottom line Experts recommend a proactive plan to minimize the impact on their farms. Control costs through production planning, understand input and operational costs and a review discretionary spending are some important steps in creating a contingency plan.
