Income Tax Act | New limits on writing off farm losses ‘troubling’

The western Prairies could end up arid like Wyoming and Montana by 2050, while the eastern Prairies could become richer farmland like the northern corn belt. That was a common theme from two weather experts who spoke at the Fields on Wheels conference Oct. 22, which focused on climate change and the grain industry. “If you look about two (U.S.) states directly south of where you are, that’s what you’re most likely to get,” said University of Winnipeg climate researcher Danny Blair in an interview. However, Blair and CWB’s Bruce Burnett had starkly different tones to their presentations, with Blair seeing mostly grave threats to the viability of prairie farming while Burnett emphasized a generally positive future.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture is warning that governmentproposed Income Tax Act changes will make it more difficult to attract new entrants or outside investment into farming. The federal government is proposing to place new limits on the ability of producers to write off farm losses against income from other sources in c a s e s w h e re o f f - f a r m i n c o m e exceeds on-farm income. The measure is contained in Ottawa’s latest 300 page budget implementation bill tabled in Parliament last week. “This raises a number of concerns for smaller farming operations, which continue to represent the most common entry point into the agricultural industry, as well as the burgeoning interest from non-farming investors in agricultural operations,” the CFA said in a brief to Finance Canada. There has been no indication from the government that it is considering the CFA’s proposed changes, although amendments can be proposed when the legislation is studied at a parliamentary committee. The budget implementation bill contains one piece of good news for established or retiring farmers. It raises the lifetime capital gains exemption from $750,000 to $800,000 and ties that level to inflation so it will rise each year. SEE TAX LAW CHANGES, PAGE 2

Tax law changes “We’re happy with that,” said Scott Ross, CFA director of business risk management and farm policy. But the tightening of farm loss writeoffs is another story. “We really see this as a setback for new entrants, beginning farmers,” Ross said. “That is our main focus. It really will limit the ability of new entrants to come into the business.” The proposal, first referred to in this year’s spring budget and now included in the budget bill expected to be approved by the Conser vative majority this autumn, will limit writeoffs against off-farm income to $17,500 per year, which could be fully claimed only if farm losses were as much as $40,000. It is an increase, but the legislation stipulates that the Canada Revenue Agency can take into account only the balance between farm income and off-farm income to determine the write-off eligibility. It reverses in legislation a Supreme Court ruling last year that ordered the tax department to consider the context of the farm income picture and not just the actual dollar comparison. It was a case involving lawyer and horse farm owner John Craig, who wrote off farm losses against lawyer

income and was rejected by Revenue Canada. The Supreme Court ruling sided with Craig, giving latitude to the income tax filer to argue that while on-farm income is dwarfed by offfarm income, it is because it is a startup farm or has a business plan to make the farm operation profitable. The legislation tabled last week will put into law an argument that the federal government lost last year at the Supreme Court. Under Section 31 of the Income Tax Act, full-time farmers can claim unlimited losses against off-farm income. In its brief to Finance Canada, the CFA asked that the proposed tax law change be reconsidered. It said the new rule would be a “disincentive and barrier to entry” because most new entrants must rely on off-farm income as they build their farm business. It would be a blow to Canadian competitiveness. As well, the CFA argued that outside investment, a key to agricultural expansion, will be scared away from agriculture. “For non-farmer investors, the inability to claim associated losses creates additional downside risk relative to other industries,” it said.

However, even the rosiest climate change scenario doesn’t turn Manitoba or the rest of the Prairies into the super-productive land of the central U.S. Midwest, as some have hoped. “There is no scenario we are looking at that will create a central Iowa or central Illinois (environment),” said Burnett, CWB’s crop production and conditions expert. “If you’re trying to buy land thinking that it’s going to become that productive, I don’t think we’re going to be there.” Burnett made specific predictions under what he considered to be the most likely scenario: the growing season expanding by 15 to 50 days per year from the 1961-90 period. • Soybean acres will exceed canola acres in Manitoba within five years and have substantial acres in Saskatchewan as the Prairies warm and breeding companies produce new varieties. • Corn will also expand its acreage, but its vulnerability to dry spells and its cost of production will limit gains. • Wheat will maintain its acreage because it is a tough, versatile crop ideally suited for the Prairies. • Barley will struggle to stop declining acreage. • Canola acres will move north as

warmer temperatures push canola production away from the hottest areas, but it will hold its acreage and probably steal acres from barley. • Pulse crops will expand their acres as the western Prairies become drier and the ability of pulses to handle arid conditions improves. Burnett said average crop yields will probably increase because of the longer growing season, even if additional heat causes more evaporation and stress. “Overall, this lengthening of the growing season (plus genetics) is going to overwhelm … the yield drag associated with the increase in temperatures,” said Burnett. He said climatic instability, with more extremes and volatility, was highly likely, which could be a bigger threat to crops than dryness or excessive heat. Burnett said the limited growing season, with killing frosts on each side, means that three small windows — seeding, crop reproduction and harvesting — significantly affect prairie crops. Each lasts about two to three weeks on most farms, and the consequences can be disastrous if anything stops seeding or harvest or happens to the crop during reproduction.

COMMUNICATION | SCIENCE

Researchers feel federal ‘chill’ Is the government muzzling scientists? | Union says survey shows federal researchers feel unable to speak about findings BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Agriculture Canada scientists are among the most visible examples of federal scientific employees unhappy with government communications control, says their union. “A chill has settled over federal government science,” Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) president Gary Corbett told a Parliament Hill news conference. “Science often is being frozen out of government decisions.” The survey of more than 4,000 federal scientists also reported that more than half of CFIA scientists and veterinarians think the “dual mandate” of food inspection and food trade promotion “poses a risk to pub-

lic health.” PIPSC policy and communications director Peter Bleyer said it was one of the stronger responses from scientists who answered an Environics Research Group survey. “There clearly is a lot of concern within CFIA about the dual mandate jeopardizing public health,” he said. “This was one of our strongest responses.” The CFIA did not respond to the union claims, but the federal government recently announced that responsibility for food safety issues now rests with Health Canada, which is the CFIA’s new departmental home. Export, plant and animal health issues and varietal registration will continue to be Agriculture Canada’s responsibility. “We would say that is a step in the

right direction,” said Bleyer. The report also said that half of responding CFIA scientists and veterinarians gave senior management good marks for understanding food safety science issues, but cabinet ministers (in this case health and agriculture) were given a positive rating by only 23 percent. The PIPSC report, called The Big Chill: Silencing Public Interest Science, was based on a survey of its 55,000 members. Many reported that they were refused permission to speak to media about their findings or were forced to change their message. “Muzzling of scientists is an action that affects us all,” Bleyer said. PIPSC said it will release a report later this year on the impact of public service scientific cutbacks on public

health and the impact of scientific results. Agriculture Canada’s scientific downsizing in this year’s budget as well as cuts in CFIA funding will be a factor in the next report, he added. Last week’s report said scientists at the fisheries and oceans department and Environment Canada were the most likely to complain about having their work or views censured. However, there was also significant unhappiness among Agriculture Canada scientists and researchers. The department received one of the lowest scores on questions about how communications staff respond to media requests for information and how the results of their work are communicated to the public. However, 73 percent of Agriculture Canada scientists who responded

said they can share their results publicly. The survey said departmental scientific employees “appear to feel the most free to share their work with the public.” PIPSC said the Agriculture Canada response is an anomaly in government. “Canada’s scientists deal primarily in facts,” said the union report. “They are not known for ill-considered opinions or rash judgments … so when a clear majority of federal scientists state that they are not permitted to speak freely, that the sharing of scientific findings has become too restricted, that public policy has been compromised by political interference and that further protection for whistleblowers is needed, Canadians and government alike should listen.”

Sask. cattle producers pleased with new price insurance BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan livestock producers could begin enrolling in a new western Canadian price insurance program by February. Cattle industry leaders last week said the announcement has been a long time coming. The hog industry was less enthusiastic, saying it would prefer a hedging program to price insurance. Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said he expects details to be available soon. The voluntary program will include producers in the four western provinces, and the federal government is paying for some administration costs. As a result, Stewart said formal announcements must wait until all parties are ready.

However, the program will be virtually identical to the one that Alberta has had since 2009, he said. “Alberta has consented to administer the program,” he said. “Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. will be the boots on the ground in Saskatchewan for signing up producers and so on.” He said Ottawa will pay 60 percent of the administration costs, and the provinces will pay the remainder. “We’re working out a deal that (Ottawa) will backstop any shortfalls to the program through a loan to the program, which producers would pay back over time through their premiums,” Stewart added. Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association chair Mark Elford said the announcement was good news and better late than never. The sector has been asking for a price insurance

program for several years. “We really wanted this for a long time, especially as calves get to be more expensive there’s a lot more risk for the feeders,” Elford said. He said producers at an SCA district meeting in Manitou Beach the night before the throne speech in which the program was announced, had asked why SCA wasn’t “hammering on that one.” “We’re at quite a disadvantage here trying to grow an industry next door,” said one producer. Elford told the meeting the process wasn’t moving as fast as he wanted, but the work was being done. Both he and Harold Martens, president of the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association, said Alberta producers have benefitted from having the insurance program. “Last year when XL Beef was down,

it paid in Alberta significantly and we are using that as kind of a benchmark, so that when you have glitches in the marketing system based on something that is out of the control of producers, then you can look at an offset in the livestock industry and that’s a good thing,” Martens said. Elford said there is good demand for cattle, but Saskatchewan buyers have been cautious. This program is bankable and will offer more certainty to lenders, he added. “We want people to be aggressively buying, and so if you’re a smaller feeder operator and you’re doing your banking in Saskatchewan, you don’t have that program to take to the bank like your counterpart in Alberta,” he said. “This will equalize things out for that sector as well.” Opposition agriculture critic Cathy

Sproule said she was waiting to see the details but was pleased that a program is coming. Stewart said he hoped the program would be in place in time to help producers who are worried about how country-of-origin labelling in the United States will affect prices. Martens said continued work on that file is also important. He said prices on 600 pound steers from Texas to Nebraska are 20 cents higher than in Saskatchewan. “They can’t even come up here to get the cattle to offset that cost to them, so we’re looking at some opportunity to move our livestock into that area,” Martens said.

Prairie barley, oat groups won’t join national council

Growers welcome new canola with reduced pod shattering

Grower groups are willing to work with Cereals Canada BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Commodity groups representing prairie barley and oat growers say they will work with Cereals Canada, a national council formed to promote the competitiveness of cereal crops. However, the Alberta Barley Commission, the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission and the Prairie Oat Growers Association (POGA) say they have no intention of becoming members of Cereals Canada or joining the organization in any formal capacity. “We already have a united voice for oats,” said POGA executive director Shawna Mathieson. “We cover about 90 percent of the oats grown in Canada … so we feel like we already kind of have our own oats council.” The Alberta and Saskatchewan barley commissions also feel that the interests of barley growers will be better served by working with Cereals Council at arm’s length. The Alberta barley commission is already closely aligned with another national council, the Barley Council of Canada, which deals exclusively with issues pertaining to barley production, research, marketing and promotion. “We anticipate working with Cereals Canada on issues of national and international importance, largely through our participation in the Barley Council of Canada,” said Alberta barley chair Matt Sawyer. “On the home front, we remain focused on representing Alberta barley farmers and working to achieve profitability for our crop.” Cereals Canada was incorporated earlier this year with the goal of enhancing the competitiveness of all Canadian cereal grains, including wheat, barley, oats, rye and triticale. Jean-Marc Ruest, a senior vicepresident with Richardson Interna-

tional who helped establish Cereals Canada, said the new organization will represent the interests of three main stakeholder groups: producers, life science and seed companies, and handlers, exporters and processors. The organization is planning to establish a board consisting of 18 directors, six from each of the three stakeholder groups. A search is also underway for a president to oversee the organization’s day-to-day activities. Ruest said Cereals Canada was aiming for broad representation across all cereal types. However, some commodity groups, including oats and barley, fear that their interests will be under-represented in a large national organization that speaks for several commodities and various stakeholder groups. “We are the smallest crop out of wheat, barley and oats so we feel like (our interests) would be lost, especially behind wheat but even behind barley …,” Mathieson said. She did not say how much POGA would be expected to pay to join Cereals Canada, but she said the potential benefits of participating did not justify the cost. “Essentially, for us to sit at the (cereals council) table … there’s a cost associated with that … and we just feel like we’d be underrepresented,” she said. “We want to make sure that our producers have full say in where their check-off dollars are going and that’s part of the reason why we have not agreed to participate in Cereals Canada.” “We are accountable to the Saskatchewan barley farmers,” added Bill Cooper, interim chair of the Saskatchewan commission. “They expect nothing less than their directors to invest in projects that will add value to barley production.”

InVigor canola seed | Field trials show significant yield gains BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pod shattering, a major issue many farmers face with current canola varieties, could be dramatically reduced as new lines approach field readiness. Bayer CropScience Canada is set to launch InVigor L140P, the first in what is expected to be a long line of pod shatter tolerant canola varieties from a variety of companies. “It’s certainly a welcome trait,” said Rick White, general manager of the Canadian Canola Growers Association. “It has been something that farmers have been asking for, for quite a while, and it’s great to hear that there will be some new products coming.” He said the trait should allow growers to harvest more bushels. A technical sheet promoting the new variety states Canadian canola growers lost an average of two to four bushels per acre to pod shattering between 2010 and 2012, according to Agriculture Canada field surveys. Bayer said that works out to a loss of more than $500 million last year. Some grain industry analysts think the loss was closer to $1 billion that year because of a September windstorm that tossed canola swaths around across the Prairies. Blaine Woycheshin, oilseed crops manager for InVigor Seed, said the company’s new pod shatter reduction trait, which was created through a patented but undisclosed nongenetically modified technology, should reduce but not completely eliminate shatter losses. “It’s not bulletproof because if it was bulletproof you’d never get (seeds) out of the pod,” he said. The trait proved its worth in 2012 trials, which had an extremely windy

harvest period. The L140P yields were slightly lower than 5440 at normal swathing time and identical during the seven-day delayed swathing trials. However, it provided a 12 percent yield advantage in the straight cutting trials. In this year’s trials, straight cutting L140P yielded seven percent, or about four bushels per acre, more than L140P and 5440 that was swathed at the normal time. Bayer is being careful not to position the new product as a sure way to avoid swathing. “ That would be wrong,” said Woycheshin. “The bottom line is this is buying growers flexibility in making their harvest management decisions.” Bayer claims its pod shattering reduction trait could allow growers to delay swathing by a week to 10 days or even more, allowing pods to fill for a longer period and resulting in larger seeds, a fuller pod and the potential for lower green seed counts. It will be available in limited quantities in 2014. White said that would be a “tremendous benefit” to farmers. “When canola is ready to swath, it’s ready to swath now and it only gets worse as every day goes by,” he said. “All it takes is a rain shower or two to hold the farmer up and next thing you know you’re way behind in your swathing and you’re taking big losses because it’s shelling out.” DuPont Pioneer is also working on pod shatter tolerance, but the planned 2014 introduction of its trait has been pushed back a year because of unco-operative weather. Most farmers swath at 60 percent seed colour change, but DuPont’s new product allows growers to swath at 80 percent colour change and beyond. As well, it will be more amenable to straight cutting than

varieties now on the market. Falak stressed that delayed swathing is the primary goal because a lot of things have to fall into place for straight cutting to occur, such as uniform maturity, which is difficult to achieve. He expects the pod shatter tolerance trait to eventually be incorporated into all of Pioneer’s canola varieties, much like blackleg resistance is today. “Down the road it will be a platform trait,” he said. Pod shatter damage from wind or hail can be severe. Winds in excess of 80 km-h can result in a 50 percent reduction in yield, while a hailstorm might wipe out 80 percent of a crop. “I’m not saying that shatter tolerance would eliminate losses, but it would very significantly reduce them relative to regular genetics,” said Falak. He estimated that 90 to 95 percent of canola is swathed before being combined. “This is really the beginning of a rather new era that will enable that straight combining portion of the market to grow slowly but steadily.” White said the savings from shifting to a one-pass harvest system would be substantial. Even the ability to delay swathing would be significant because it would allow farmers to plant canola earlier in the season rather than staging the crop so that it doesn’t ripen all at once. Other seed companies are also working on the trait. Sam Eathington, vice-president of plant breeding with Monsanto, said it is one of three canola breeding priorities for the company along with additional herbicide options and blackleg resistance. He added Monsanto is looking at later this decade for release of pod shatter tolerant traits.

Researcher makes frost breakthrough Manitoba Green seed damage | University of Calgary researcher identifies a gene network regulating colour BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A University of Calgary researcher believes he has figured out a way to permanently eliminate the biggest downgrading factor in canola. Marcus Samuel, an assistant professor at the university’s biological sciences department, has discovered a gene regulatory network that prevents green seed damage caused by frost. The discovery was made in arabidopsis, a close relative of canola. Sa mu e l a n d h i s t e a m, w h i c h included researchers from the University of Toronto and the University of Bordeaux in France, discovered a mutant line of arabidopsis in which seeds never turn brown. The mutant line provided the team with the clues to figure out the gene and the associated plant regulatory network responsible for degreening. “We figured out a pathway on how de-greening happens and what genes are important in the pathway,” said Samuel. The research has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, a peer reviewed journal. Researchers were able to use the information they gleaned from the mutant line to transform a normal arabidopsis plant to over-express the de-greening factor. They then exposed it to two to three days of mimicked harsh cold stress treatments during seed maturation. “This transgenic line was able to take the hit from the frost and still was able to produce brown seeds,” said Samuel. Other researchers repeated the experiment in the lab and confirmed the results. Samuel said it was phenomenal to see the plants brush off the frost. He knew they were onto something big that could eventually become a stackable trait in canola. “You won’t have this green seed problem anymore. You will have seeds that will actually become brown or black,” said Samuel. That is music to the ears of Rick White, general manager of the Canadian Canola Growers Association.

Good clean canola seed samples like this one could become easier to come by if promising genetic research makes it possible to eliminate green seed damage caused by frost. | FILE PHOTO “Research that eliminates green seed and lets the plant do it is a great solution that will save the industry money,” he said. Veronique Barthet, program manager of oilseeds with the Canadian Grain Commission, said green seed is the biggest downgrading factor for canola. Its impact on the industry varies widely from year to year. It wasn’t a big issue this year, but that wasn’t the case in 2004. “The first frost was in mid-August. All the canola was green. There was a

big issue,” she said. Successfully introducing the trait in canola could save farmers losses of $15 per tonne due to downgrading. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates green seed causes $150

million in annual losses to North America’s canola crop. The unwanted seeds result in a chlorophyll pigment that gives canola oil an unfavourable taste and odour and decreases its shelf life. The grain commission allows a maximum of six percent green seed for a crop to be considered No. 2 or better. However, exposure of maturing seeds to freezing temperatures can easily result in more than 20 percent green seed. In 1992, a severe frost put 70 percent of the crop in the No. 2 and No. 3 grades. White said there are plenty of times when canola in the swath is dry enough to harvest but can’t be put through the combine because of high green seed counts. “Lots of times you’ll have to leave that swath lay another week, and that’s a risky venture,” he said. He believes a de-greening trait would be well received by western Canadian farmers. Samuel’s research team is working with Siniazo Biotech, an Ottawa biotechnology firm, to patent the transgenic technology. He hopes the project will capture the attention of Bayer CropScience, Monsanto and BASF, the three big players in the production of herbicide tolerant canola. His goal is to prove that the technology performs as well in canola as it did in Arabidopsis, but it will take time and money. He needs $100,000 per year over the next three years to prove it works in canola. “I’m definitely willing to partner with anybody interested,” said Samuel. “Anyone that’s willing to fund the program can actually have rights to part of the ownership.” The research team has already identified the pertinent genes in canola, but the process of transforming a canola plant is a lot more complicated than arabidopsis. As well, tests will need to be performed to ensure oil quality is not affected by the transformation. Samuel is confident the technology will work in canola, which is 85 percent similar to arabidopsis. “We are predicting it will essentially do the same thing in canola,” he said.

Agriculture Canada will continue wheat breeding programs, for now BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Agriculture Canada will continue to develop new wheat varieties, at least until other organizations become more involved in wheat breeding. “(The department) will continue to produce wheat varieties over the next five years and will continue to provide the majority of testing sites required for plant variety registration,” says Stephen Morgan Jones, a director general with Agriculture Canada’s science and technology branch.

“At the same time, we will continue to work toward greater public-private collaboration, which is a key to boosting overall investment in wheat breeding research.… This will allow Canadian farmers to continue to compete with other countries that have adopted this model.” Morgan Jones said in an email that Agriculture Canada will continue “important early breeding work on wheat genetics and genomics.” It will also participate in broad research networks and support the private sector in taking on more variety testing and commercialization work.

“Until other organizations step up to the extent that a significant number of wheat varieties are offered to the market, (Agriculture Canada) plans to continue to support research from variety development to commercialization,” he said. “(Agriculture Canada) has participated in meetings, presentations and interviews with media over the past 18 months where the issue has been discussed publicly, including contact with the University of Saskatchewan and its Crop Development Centre.” Morgan Jones said Ottawa is supporting the Canadian wheat

industry with a contribution to the Canadian Wheat Alliance, which is l e d b y t h e Na t i o n a l R e s e a r c h Council. The alliance will bring together federal, provincial and academic expertise and engage public and private sector organizations in advancing key research. Alliance projects are aimed at improving the profitability of Canadian wheat producers and developing stable, high-yielding varieties. The alliance will see federal investments of almost $85 million out of a total investment of $97 million, he said.

corn yields through the roof Record return | Growing conditions push farmers over 150 bu. per acre BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Lorne Loeppky had never topped 150 bushels per acre since he began growing corn in 1997. This year he hit 160 bu. per acre. Loeppky, who farms near Niverville, Man., completed his corn harvest Oct. 23. His fields received timely rain this summer and no excessive moisture. “The growing conditions were just excellent,” said Loeppky, who grows around 1,200 acres of corn. “This year we got Iowa corn yields.” He said fellow corn growers in southeastern Manitoba have told him they harvested yields of 140 to 180 bu. per acre this year. Manitoba’s five-year average is 115 to 120 bu. per acre, although Manitoba Corn Growers Association general manager Theresa Bergsma said average corn yields in the eastern half of the province are higher. “The (provincial) average takes in a lot of areas that aren’t your higher yielding areas,” she said. “For the last number of years, the guys in the main corn growing areas have been getting from 120 to 160.” Farmers west of Portage la Prairie still have thousands of corn acres to harvest, so the provincial picture will be clearer in a few weeks, Bergsma said. Loeppky said his best corn yield before this year had been 145 bu. per acre, but the number on his combine’s yield monitor this year was shocking. “I knew we were going to have a good crop, but I didn’t expect the big bushels.” The provincial crop’s fortunes didn’t look nearly as bright three months ago when three weeks of cool weather in late July and early August slowed crop development. However, heat in late August and the absence of a September frost turned things around. Loeppky said bushel weight was a bit down for a few corn varieties on his farm, but overall quality was excellent. He said the high yields should boost Manitoba’s corn industry because some growers tried the crop for the first time this year. “What a year to start off,” he said. “They have a sweet taste in their mouths.” Bergsma said falling prices mean there’s no guarantee Manitoba corn acres will jump next year. Farmers planted more that 340,000 acres of grain corn this year, setting another provincial record. Loeppky said his part of the province, east of the Red River, is beginning to resemble Iowa. “We have the hog barns and every year you’re seeing more corn and more soy.”

Satellite crop estimate too low: analysts Satellite measures crop vegetation | Yield forecast of 34.5 bushels per acre canola “more than a little bit on the low side” BIG CROP GETTING BIGGER?

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Statistics Canada’s first satellite based yield estimates of the year are way off the mark, according to grain analysts. The Crop Condition Assessment Program (CCAP) is forecasting an average yield of 34.5 bushels per acre for canola, 43.8 for spring wheat, 39.5 for durum and 63.4 for barley. All four numbers are lower than the estimates contained in the agency’s September survey of farmers, which many analysts felt was already conservative. Statistics Canada is considering replacing the September principal field crops survey with production estimates generated from the CCAP satellite data as early as next year. Chuck Penner, an analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, said the 2013 yield estimates generated by CCAP shows the folly of that plan. “They’re too low, frankly. There’s very little question that they’re too low,” he said. Penner said farmers were also fooled by the visual appearance of their crops. The numbers that showed up on their yield monitors was a pleasant surprise to many growers. “Remote sensing tells you what the vegetative growth is but not what the seed is,” he said. Penner believes the technology is being fooled by new varieties that put

Canada’s wheat and canola crops tend to get a lot bigger between Statistics Canada’s preliminary (September) and final (November) production estimates. For canola the average increase over the past 10 years has been 873,000 tonnes. For wheat it has been slightly more than one million tonnes. There is a tendency for the crops to grow even more between the November estimate and the final revision, which can happen up to two years later. Statistics Canada said the difference between the September and November estimates are not statistically significant but it means there is probably a lot more crop to move than originally suggested. Variation in September and November production figures (million tonnes):

more effort into producing seeds than leaves. “You get stubby little canola plants with a bazillion pods on them,” said Penner. He worries that the accuracy will be even worse with small acreage crops because Statistics Canada has little experience interpreting satellite data with them. “I have five words — back to the drawing board.” Penner’s average canola yield estimate is 40 bu. per acre, which is in line with what other analysts and provincial agriculture departments are forecasting. Saskatchewan Agriculture believes the average yield in that province is 38 bu. per acre, while Alberta Agriculture is forecasting 43. Those numbers would add another 1.1 million tonnes to Statistics Canada’s 15.96 million tonne production estimate. Penner said Statistics Canada’s September estimates are notoriously conservative.

For instance, over the past 10 years the September canola estimate has been an average of 873,000 tonnes below the November estimate while wheat has been underestimated by an average of slightly more than one million tonnes. “Farmers get frustrated with grain companies who talk about how big the crop is because they have a

motive in trying to talk down prices. Farmers have the opposite motive,” he said. “I think that has become a bigger issue in the past few years. You almost have to add a fudge factor to the StatsCan numbers for any crop.” Derek Squair, president of AgriTrend Marketing, said yields dropped the longer that harvest dragged on

this year, but he agreed the CCAP numbers are not accurate. “Those yields are a little bit on the low side, or more than a little bit on the low side,” he said. Squair was forecasting a 42.5 bu. per acre average for canola early on in the harvest, but he has reduced it to 39. “Some of the later canola was still flowering when the heat hit in early August,” he said. Squair is forecasting a 47 bu. per acre average for spring wheat, 79 for barley and 36 for peas. “Some of the quality is a little bit poorer in that later crop as well.” Rain in key growing areas caused bleaching and fusarium damage in wheat and durum. Squair said markets can sometimes become too caught up in figuring out the size of the crop rather than focusing enough on demand. He said there are a number of bullish factors in the market, topped by China’s production problems. “We’re seeing a lot of wheat and canola and soybeans being sold to China that is really bringing the rally around,” he said. “We’ve got a pretty good rally here since harvest because of those issues.” Europe is buying more Canadian wheat than usual, and there is plenty of interest in North American wheat in Brazil because of a crop failure in Argentina. “We’re seeing that really prop up wheat prices,” he said.

MARKETING | PRIVATE SALES

Abundance of crop forces sellers to seek buyers Farmers need to take charge to move their grain BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Plugged elevators, wide basis levels and booked up truckers have forced farmers to scramble to find ways to sell crops. It’s leading some to look beyond the grain elevator system and connect directly to end users, says the founder of a year-old online crop marketplace. “There are deals out there, but it’s a matter of who’s going to be proactive and seek them out,” said Brennan Turner of FarmLead.com. His service has seen business surge since harvest, when farmers brought in crops much larger than they were expecting in midsummer. FarmLead is a website on which a farmer or buyer can post what they want to sell or buy, at what price and how to get the grain from buyer to seller. It posts the bids and asks for crops and users negotiate the terms of the deal themselves. Turner said farmers are looking for ways to move their crops, especially special crops. However, they are also looking for marginal price increases, which has become more important now that per bushel prices are much lower than in recent years. “When wheat’s $10 a bushel, an extra couple of cents doesn’t make much of a difference,” said Turner. The prairie grain logistics system appears to be operating well, railway officials told the Fields on Wheels conference Oct. 22. The problem with congestion is mostly due to the massive size of crops, the late harvest and the finite capacity of the system to move everything farmers want to move. Some marketing advisers say that certain crops and specific locations and buyers pose particular difficulties, with some unpriced or uncontracted crops being hard to move before December or January. Many farmers contracted less than they usually would because of the lateness of seeding and the cool midsummer period. However, this meant their proportion of priced crop fell to low levels when yields proved to be much bigger than many anticipated before they started combining. It has now become difficult for most farmers to move anything. Brennan said his company appears to be a beneficiary of the search for buyers and alternative markets, something he’s happy to see for a new business. He said the amount of grain his website has moved since harvest is 40 percent of everything it transacted for all of 2012-13. That’s partly because of a new mobile app his company is offering, he added, but it’s probably also because farmers need to be more active in marketing if they want to move anything this autumn.

Expert advises hedging 2014 crop to protect against lower trend Risk management | September 2014 soybean futures price of $12 still profitable, says analyst BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers who are having trouble moving crops this fall might not want to worry about hedging it right away. However, a brokerage firm is urging its clients to protect some 2014-15 prices now. “Start considering it. That’s the point of disciplined, consistent risk management,” said David Derwin, a senior marketing adviser with P.I. Financial in Winnipeg. “Go through the process and see where things are at and discuss it, so that you’re not surprised in two or three months if things move in a big way.” Derwin said new crop futures prices are profitable, even if they are lower than many farmers like. He said farmers shouldn’t dismiss the idea of protecting a September 2014 soybean futures price of almost $12. “That’s not such a bad price.” He said farmers don’t need to hedge much of their expected 2014-15 crop now, but they shouldn’t leave it all unhedged either. Using options is the safest way to lock in a basement price without taking on risk. Buying put options is the simplest price protection strategy, and it’s one that P.I. is recommending. It will cost about 75 cents per bushel to pay the

premium if farmers want to guarantee a minimum futures price at the present forward futures soybean value. However, the premium drops to about 50 cents per bu. if farmers are willing to protect a price about 75 cents lower than the present year-out futures price.

That will protect a price of around $11 per bu., which Derwin said is sufficient to guarantee a bit of profitability without being too expensive. Other strategies can also cheapen the effective premium cost, such as writing an out-of-the-money call against the same underlying amount of grain that is being protected by the put. Derwin said many of his firm’s clients were keen to hedge a year-out at this time last year because prices were still high. “We could buy (wheat put) options up at $8 a bu. That was easy to do,” said Derwin. “It was a lot easier at this time last year.” However, the overall trend of grain markets is for lower prices, so there is

Wheat prices likely to decline alongside exports Moving wheat | Analyst expects slow U.S. exports and a large winter wheat crop to contribute to falling prices BY SEAN PRATT

U.S. DROUGHT CONDITIONS EASE

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Grain analysts say wheat has seen its highs and prices will fall due to a combination of slumping exports and a good-looking U.S. winter wheat crop. Tom Leffler, owner of Leffler Commodities in Augusta, Kansas, said U.S. wheat inspected for export has declined for the sixth straight week. Year-to-date shipments are still 154 million bushels above the pace needed to meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s wheat export forecast but the pace of shipments is slowing and that has markets on edge. “They really kind of thought we were just going to keep right on exporting like crazy,” said Leffler. “Well, we’re not shipping it out near as fast as what they thought we were going to.” The other big factor that will eventually weigh down wheat prices once the market turns its attention away from harvest in Argentina and Australia is the “impressive” start to the U.S. winter wheat crop. “A lot of my clientele in the southern Plains here, they’re seeing some of the best conditions to put their wheat in the ground in the last two or three years,” he said. “They’re actually looking at some of their best prospects to getting the crop off to a good start.” Growers had planted 86 percent of the winter wheat crop as of Oct. 27. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates 61 percent of the crop is in good to excellent shape compared to

Last year at this time, 64 percent of the United States was in severe to exceptional drought with wheat growing areas in the central Plains facing the greatest stress. The dryness reduced the area of winter wheat that survived to harvest and limited yields. The rain returned this spring, and this autumn only about 21 percent of the country is in severe to exceptional drought, leading to improved prospects for the wheat crop.

40 percent the same time a year ago. That is a marked improvement. Leffler said there is no direct correlation between early-season crop condition and final yields but a good start reduces the risk of spring abandonment. Allendale Inc. is forecasting a 1.5 million acre increase in U.S. winter wheat plantings over last year, for a total of 44.24 million acres.

Rich Nelson, chief strategist with Allendale, said it is easily the best crop condition in three years due to vastly improved moisture conditions. “We’ve got some regular rains in the Plains. In fact, we’ve gotten the entire year’s normal rain within about two months or so for a portion of the Plains — Oklahoma and western Kansas.”

exceptional drought

He has little doubt there will be a two to five percent increase in total U.S. wheat production in 2014-15. “For years we’ve been talking about a good wheat crop. Finally we have one in hand. It looks like we’ll be really taking advantage of it here next summer,” said Nelson. He believes the tightness in U.S. winter wheat supplies will be alleviated by next summer, which doesn’t

bode well for prices. Leffler agreed that prices could be heading down. It is already happening with old crop prices. “The new crop (price) I think is eventually going to have to crumble at the pressure of the (winter wheat) crop looking as good as it is this early in the season.” Arlan Suderman, senior market adviser with Water Street Advisory, said wheat is losing steam as crop conditions improve in China, the Black Sea and Argentina. “The things that were attracting the outside money to come into the wheat market are just starting to dry up right now,” he said. “There’s really nothing to sustain it and when that happens in the wheat market it tends to drift lower.” Leffler said the U.S. winter wheat crop still has a long way to go and prospects can change in a hurry. For instance, last year the U.S. winter wheat crop got off to a miserable start with a combination of drought and frost damage but the year ended on a good note in some of the most important production regions of central Kansas and Oklahoma. “We actually had some near record yields through these areas here that really helped carry the winter wheat production,” he said. “I had clients down in central Oklahoma that would have sold me every acre of their wheat if I guaranteed them 25 bushels (per acre). They came in way over 25. These guys were really surprised the wheat turned out much better than they thought it was going to.”

Wheat shows strength, but corn acts as anchor

CWB pool return projections up

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

heat prices took a breather last week after a nice rally that began in midSeptember. It seemed the limiting factor was the growing premium of wheat over corn. Wheat was rising because of production problems in several countries and strong U.S. exports, but a record U.S. crop weighed down corn. Production estimates are rising in the United States as the harvest comes in and many farmers are reporting better than expected corn yields. There is the potential for a surprise about the size of the corn crop when the U.S. Department of Agriculture issues its supply and demand reports Nov. 8. It will be first report since September because the U.S. government shutdown prevented production of the October report. The corn-wheat price link is mainly

related to livestock feed. Wheat will lose its place in livestock rations and be replaced by corn if it becomes too expensive relative to corn. The reduced demand then weighs down wheat prices. However, there are supply and demand issues that will continue to stretch the corn-wheat bond. International wheat demand has been robust. Brazil has been buying lots of wheat in recent months because Argentina, its traditional supplier, has almost run out of supply after a bad harvest last year. China has also been buying because rain hit its crop at harvest, damaging quality. The U.S. has got a lot of that business, but Canada also has a piece. Shipments to China in the first two months of the crop year were 204,000 tonnes, up from 58,000 tonnes last year in the same period. While U.S. exports were strong early in the crop year they appear to be slowing and that might act as a drag on prices if that continues. The next world crops to be harvested are in Argentina and Australia. Argentina’s government has puzzled the wheat trade after issuing a crop estimate of only 8.8 million tonnes Oct. 18 and then announcing Oct. 21 that the estimate was wrong.

It has not issued a new estimate. The USDA’s September estimate was 12 million, but many analysts ha d e xp e c t e d a low e r nu m be r because of dry weather and frost. However, 8.8 million was below all estimates. Australia has had good growing conditions in the western part of the country but mixed conditions in the east. Commonwealth Bank of Australia cut its forecast by 1.6 millions tonnes to 23.6 million tonnes. The official government forecast in September was 24.5 million tonnes. Winter wheat seeding for the crop that will be harvested next year is progressing nicely in the U.S. and Europe. However, excessive rain disrupted operations in Ukraine and Russia. Recent dry weather allowed seeding, and the situation is not as dire as it was a month ago. However, acreage will be down from early projections. China’s winter wheat zone has been dry during fall seeding. Among this bullish news are bearish items. India’s government is talking about increasing its wheat export subsidy. It has had good crops in recent years and the government buys wheat

from farmers at higher than world prices. Stocks are now excessive, and it needs to sell some to avoid spoilage. However, it needs a subsidy to get the price down to match the world price for lower grade wheat. An increase in the subsidy would put two million tonnes of low protein wheat on the world market. Another potentially negative factor is the size of Canada’s crop. Most analysts believe farmers harvested more than the 23.8 million tonnes that Statistics Canada forecast in its September report. The next report comes out in early December. Currency markets are providing a helping hand to grain prices. The U.S. dollar recently retreated after rallying against most world currencies over the summer, and it now appears that the Federal Reserve’s stimulus program will continue longer than expected. Also, Canada’s loonie is down now that it appears the Bank of Canada will not increase its interest rate. Weaker currencies make grain appear cheaper to countries whose currencies are rising and therefore stimulate exports. Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

Projected returns for No. 1 CWRS wheat, 12.5 percent protein, are now estimated at $301 per tonne. In its PRO commentary, CWB said wheat futures have been steady over the past few weeks as a result of uncertainty over the size of Argentina’s winter wheat crop, mixed conditions in the Black Sea region and import demand from China and Brazil. Durum values have declined since harvest but recent demand from Algeria and Tunisia has buoyed markets. Durum values continue to reflect widening protein and grade spreads consistent with the low protein and variable quality of western Canada’s durum crop, CWB said.

FED CATTLE RISE

FEEDERS CROWD AUCTIONS

The surprising rally continued with Alberta fed steers averaging $122.24 per hundredweight, up 86 cents, and heifers averaging $121.56, up $1.04. Dressed sales were more than $1 per cwt. higher at $202.50-$204.50 basis the feedlot. U.S. cash cattle reached record highs on tight market-ready supply and rising beef prices. The Canadian sales volume fell four percent to 8,740 head, which was 32 percent smaller than the same week last year. The Alberta cash-to-futures basis weakened $4.38 to a seasonally weak -$16.06. Weekly western Canadian slaughter to Oct. 19 was steady with the previous week at 39,961 head. Western fed slaughter is down 6.4 percent from last year at the same time. Weekly fed cattle exports to Oct. 12 fell seven percent to 7,430 head. Fed exports are down seven percent so far this year. Fed marketing volumes at the end of October are usually the lowest of the season, and this year is no different. The small fed cattle kill is being supplemented by increased cow slaughter, but demand for steers and heifers should be enough to maintain steady prices. U.S. feedlots have lots of incentive to sell at these profitable prices, keeping their marketing current.

Western Canadian auction volumes were the largest reported this year. Prices were steady to lower. Only a few pre-conditioned calves have been on offer and no premiums are being paid over fresh weaned calves, likely because no pens or load lots can be assembled. Few 700-800 pound calves are trading in comparison to 500-700 lb. calves, creating a pricing opportunity for heavier calves. Steers 700-800 lb. rose $1-$3 with buyers targeting the early spring market. Some 700 lb. and heavier steers outsold their lighter counterparts on electronic sales. The western Canadian calf index values closed the week $12.81 higher than the same time last year and $10.10 higher than 2011. Weekly feeder exports to Oct. 12 totalled 23,488 head versus 6,633 head last year. Over the past 10 weeks, 109,053 more cattle have traded through Alberta auctions than the same time last year. Volumes in November might be down 15 to 20 percent from 2012, considering that so many have already been marketed. Attractive Cattle Price Insurance Program coverage, a weaker loonie and stronger live cattle futures should firm demand for calves and yearlings.

U.S. herd small | Beef prices rise as U.S. grocers and restaurants stock up following government shutdown C H I C A G O, I l l . ( R e u t e r s ) — Slaughter cattle in Texas and Kansas set the highest price on record Oct. 23 when they traded at mostly $132 US per hundredweight. Analysts and economists said it was the result of a smaller herd and rising beef prices. Canadian cash prices are also high with steers averaging $122.24 per cwt. last week, rivaling the record highs set in early June. Cattle prices have trended higher for several years as droughts and high feed prices caused producers to pare herds. The $132 that U.S. packers paid in mid-October compares with the previous record of $130 during the week ended March 2, 2012, according to analysts and economists. “There are not enough cattle,” University of Missouri livestock economist Ron Plain said. Packers and feedlots are drawing from a smaller pool of cattle after ranchers downsized the U.S. herd to the smallest in 61 years. Prolonged dryness hurt crops and pastures, which pushed feed and hay costs to all-time highs last year. Higher fed cattle prices have helped feedlots. Those prices, and cheaper corn because of a large U.S. corn harvest, narrowed their losses while offsetting costly feeder cattle. The chance for profitability has left feedlots in better shape to buy cattle. U.S. feedlots lost an average of $34 per head in September when it sold cattle to packers. It compares with a loss of $92 in August and extends their streak of losses to 29 months, as calculated by the Livestock Marketing Information Center in Denver, Colorado. Fewer cattle resulted in less meat, lifting the price for Choice beef at

wholesale in mid-October to more than $200 per cwt., according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. “Beef prices in grocery stores have been at record highs the past two months, which means packers can pay more for cattle,” Plain said. The average retail beef price in August, which is the latest that is available, was a record $5.39 per pound, surpassing the record of $5.36 set in July, said the USDA’s Economic Research Service. Rich Nelson, chief strategist for Allendale Inc., partly attributed the rise in beef prices to grocers and restaurants stocking up after they curbed purchases during the 16-day government shutdown in October, when they feared consumer spending would drop. “During the shutdown, a lot of end users were not buying beef. They were trying to hold back a little bit,” said Nelson. “This is all coming together at the start of a big decline in supply, which will last through early second quarter 2014.” While the situation is helping feedlots, packers are suffering, analysts said. U.S. beef packers were estimated to be losing more than $41 per head of cattle last week, according to HedgersEdge.com, a Coloradobased livestock analytics firm. Elaine Johnson, analyst with CattleHedging.com, said packers may not be losing quite that much money because different purchasing methods may minimize losses. Also, beef exports and sale of hides and non-meat items, such as internal organs, could help processors mitigate losses, she said. “If the packer truly is absolutely getting crushed on his margin, he is going to cutback his kills,” Johnson said.

COW PRICES HIGHER Facing tighter fed supplies, western Canadian packers have ramped up non-fed slaughter to 9,289 head, which is near the largest volume this year. If weekly kill levels stay near 10,000 head, it might indicate that packerowed, market-ready supply is tightening. D1, D2 cows ranged $73-$84 per cwt. to average $78.33, up $1.54 from the previous week, but prices faded late in the week. D3s ranged $62-$75 to average $69.33, up 69 cents. Canadian cows were at a $2-$4 discount to U.S. cow prices. D1, D2 cow prices have been stuck in an $8 trading range over the past 30 weeks.

Lower supply pushes beef prices up.

BEEF SOARS U.S. beef prices were on fire with Choice cutout up $5.04 US to top $200 per cwt. for the first time since midJune. Select was up $3.96 to $185.68. With fewer market ready cattle expected in November and a desire to improve operating margins, packers are expected to reduce slaughter. The reduction in beef supply could push beef prices higher, but that could push consumers to cheaper pork and chicken. Weekly Canadian cutouts to Oct. 18 rose $2.14-$3.61 Cdn per cwt. The AAA-Choice spread is now at -$3.79 per cwt. while the AA-Select spread is +$2.63.

ANIMAL WELFARE | TRANSPARENCY

CRAIG’S VIEW

Livestock producers cannot close doors on animal abuse

resented with hundreds of thousands of anything, what do one or two of those things matter? Possession of quantity, whether it is dollars or passenger pigeons or meals, seems to generate a cavalier attitude toward the few. When it comes to food animal production, that human failing is no longer tolerated. The television news program W-5 recently aired video clips of inhumane and unacceptable handling practices at an Alberta egg and chick operation. Hidden camera footage obtained from Mercy for Animals Canada showed workers from Kuku Farms, which produces eggs from 126,000 laying hens, and Creekside Grove Farms, which produces thousands of chicks, killing immature birds and mixing the dead with the living before incineration. As well, caged laying hens appeared to be overcrowded and sick. It’s possible, even likely, that the sheer number of birds and their assumed replaceability led workers to treat them casually and even cruelly. It isn’t right. Size of an operation does not necessarily increase the chances for inhumane treatment, but this situation does show the vital need for better employee training and supervision regardless of farm size. It takes about 30 million Canadian chickens to produce the eggs used in everything from angel hair pasta to zucchini bread. Large operations allow producers to economically supply those needs, and there are many Canadian examples of how this is done while maintaining the health and welfare of chickens. But every example of abuse that occurs in connection with animal agriculture, regardless of type, weakens confidence in the industry as a whole. Such is the case with this one. The public will not tolerate abuse of animals, and increased regulation at some other level becomes more likely if consumers are presented with continued evidence of industry inability to police itself. Producers recognize this, and the development of codes of practice now underway is designed to establish standards for

animal care and production. Unfortunately, it takes only one idiotic action to reduce confidence in the entire process. Examples of animal cruelty tend to find a wide audience. Case in point, the Missouri-based Center for Food Integrity, a non-profit group established to build consumer trust in the food system, showed the Mercy for Animals video to a panel of three farm animal care specialists. All of them identified improper euthanasia techniques and “significant welfare issues” at the operations shown. Egg Farmers of Alberta did not come off particularly well in the W-5 program. Officials refused interviews, thereby missing a vital chance within the same documentary to condemn improper treatment of birds and explain current practice. In a written statement issued later, the group committed only to “determining the extent of the situation” and promising remediation if necessary. Too little, too late. Egg Farmers of Canada added to the problem by issuing a nation-wide security alert advising egg farmers to keep their barn doors locked to prevent inquisitive folks from seeing their operations. This is unproductive when consumers are becoming more interested in the sources of their food. Greater transparency, not less, will be demanded in the future, and producers must prepare to open doors, not close and lock them. The food animal industry has many knowledgeable defenders. Among them in this case was Dr. Mike Petrik, an Ontariobased veterinarian who specializes in poultry. Expressing his dissatisfaction with industry response, he explored in his blog the issues of farm size, pitfalls of video compilation, acceptable handling practices and the reasons for layer cages. It would have been much better for the industry, and consumer confidence, if egg farmer organizations had done the same, and done it first.

TAXES | FARMING WRITE-OFFS

Deja vu for proposed rule changes to full-time farm loss tax writeoff NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

ax law changes that affect farmers are not always the result of carefully considered arguments about how to make the Income Tax Act more effective for the sector. Sometimes it is simply the result of the political law of unintended consequences. Consider the case of two gentlemen farmers with significant off-farm income and small money-losing

farms on the side who have inspired governments to tighten the rules on what tax writeoffs part-time or beginning farmers can claim. Peter Connell was a rising bureaucratic star in Ottawa in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming first Revenue Canada deputy minister and then, in 1982, deputy agriculture minister. He also ran a purebred Simmental cattle operation at Oxford Station near Ottawa, and although it was a money loser, Connell considered himself a full-time farmer with a plan to make the farm profitable. He used the full-time farmer claim to write off tens of thousands of dollars in farm losses against his public service income over many years. Revenue Canada finally rejected his claim and he took his old department to court, winning the first

round but losing at the Federal Court. “It is hard to characterize the role of deputy minister in the Government of Canada as an employment sideline,” justice Barry Strayer wrote caustically in a 1988 judgment. The federal government tightened the rules around farmer eligibility to write off all farm losses against offfarm income. The farm community of the day saw it as a sideswipe penalty for young or part-time farmers who needed offfarm income to survive. Fast forward almost three decades. This time, well-to-do lawyer John Craig with a horse farm enterprise was also challenged for writing off losses against his lawyer’s income. He fought it to the Supreme Court and won. In 2012, the court said the tax department should not just use a

simple income calculation between farm and off-farm income to decide whether a farm operator was eligible for full farm-loss offset because he earned most of his income from the farm. The calculation should be more nuanced and consider other factors, including intent. “The question is whether, looking at these factors together, the taxpayer places significant emphasis on each of the farming business and other earning activity and if so, the combination will constitute a chief source of income and avoid the loss deduction limitation of Section 31.1 (of the Income Tax Act),” wrote the Supreme Court justices. Farm advocates cheered, seeing this as a benefit for beginning farmers who depend on off-farm income, as well as for potential outside inves-

tors in agriculture. The federal Conservative government saw it differently: an opening for wealthy non-farmers to avoid tax by buying a money-losing farm. Legislation now before the House of Commons effectively overturns the Craig Supreme Court decision, restoring the rule that farm income must exceed off-farm income to be eligible for full writeoff. Otherwise, the limit would be $17,500 in loss writeoff reflecting actual losses of up to $40,000. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture has complained to Finance Canada that this penalizes new entrants and discourages investors. Peter Connell and John Craig were inadvertent perpetrators of the political law of unintended consequences.

RETIREMENT | BARRY WILSON

Greenpeace Golden Rice stance baffling

WP Hall of Fame political ag reporter retires

BY PATRICK MOORE

t was 43 years ago when I boarded an old fishing boat named the Phyllis Cormack in Vancouver on the first Greenpeace campaign to stop nuclear testing in Alaska. I never dreamed that 43 years later, Greenpeace would be arriving in Vancouver on a $32 million ship, and that this time I would be going down to protest against them. I’m still proud of the work Greenpeace did during the 15 years I was in the leadership. I left because it had drifted from a humanitarian effort to save civilization from all-out nuclear war to an organization that sees humans as the enemies of the Earth. How else could it justify its opposition to Golden Rice? Two humanitarian scientists, Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer, used their knowledge of genetics to create Golden Rice, a variety of rice that contains beta carotene, the essential nutrient that we make into vitamin A. They were aware that two million people, mostly young children, die each year from vitamin A deficiency. Most of them live in urban slums in Asia and Africa and eat little more than a cup of rice each day. Conventional rice contains no beta carotene, resulting in 250 million preschool children who have chronic vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is necessar y for eyesight and the immune system. As many as 500,000 children go blind each year, half of whom die within a year of becoming blind, according to the World Health Organization. Greenpeace has made a concerted effort to block Golden Rice’s intro-

A research team at the International Rice Research Institute in Los Banos, Philippines, has been developing genetically-modified rice.

duction since it was announced in 2000. The organization has waged a campaign of misinformation, trashed the scientists who are working to bring Golden Rice to the people who need it and supported the violent destruction of Golden Rice field trials at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines. How does Greenpeace justify this heartless behavior? It claims there may be “unforeseen” consequences for human health and the environment but are unable to specify a single health risk with Golden Rice. That’s because the only difference between white rice and Golden Rice is the beta carotene,

an essential nutrient that is necessary for good health. As for environmental risks, Greenpeace says it is concerned that Golden Rice may cross with other rice plants. There is no imaginable way this could cause damage and could only make rice more nutritious. To suggest that the threat of rice interbreeding is more important than two million deaths every year is pathetic. Greenpeace also claims that Golden Rice will not solve the problem and that children should eat leafy vegetables and take vitamin A pills. However, they suffer from malnutrition because they can’t afford pills

and have no place to grow vegetables. Golden Rice is like a vitamin pill in a grain of rice. As well, Greenpeace claims that Golden Rice may not be effective in delivering vitamin A to children, but it knows that Gwangwen Tang and her colleagues at Tufts University and the Zhejiang Academy of Medical Sciences in China have already proven that Golden Rice is effective. After conducting nutritional trials with animals and then adults in the United States, the researchers fed 23 Chinese children one meal of Golden Rice and tested to see if they had absorbed the beta carotene. The results, which were published in 2012 in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, demonstrate conclusively that Golden Rice is effective. The real reason Greenpeace is opposed to Golden Rice is because it is genetically modified and it can’t seem to imagine that even one beneficial crop might result from this technique. It is willing to put its zerotolerance ideology ahead of a critical humanitarian mission. We recently launched the Allow Golden Rice Now! campaign at www. allowgoldenricenow.org. We are not asking Greenpeace to give up its general dislike of genetically modified food. We are only demanding that it make an exception to its policy, on humanitarian grounds, for Golden Rice. Dr. Patrick Moore was a co-founder of Greenpeace and helped lead the organization for 15 years. He is now an independent ecologist and environmentalist working from Vancouver.

TRADE | COMPROMISES

Dairy sector should rethink EU trade deal stand HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

he Canadian dairy industry appears to be making a tactical error. Dairy producers and supply management supporters are expressing surprise and dismay over the pending trade deal between Canada and the European Union. Their purposes would be better served by keeping their powder dry for the bigger battles that are likely yet to come. It has long been clear that getting a trade deal with Europe was going to require dairy concessions from Canada. Deals are about give and take. Why would the Europeans give Canadian beef, hogs and grain improved access if they didn’t get something in return?

In the end, it’s amazing how much Canada appears to be gaining and how little our dairy industry will be affected. Yes, the high end cheese market will face increased competition from European cheese, but Canadian cheese consumption is growing and artisan cheese makers in this country can appeal to the “buy local” and “buy Canadian” sentiment to keep their customers. It may not be the actual deal that has the dairy industry cheesed off. More likely it’s the principle. The Conservative government and all of the political parties have long been tripping over themselves to profess their support for supply management. Now we clearly see what everyone already knew deep down in their hearts: the supply management system is not entirely sacred. The current government is prepared to risk the wrath of supply management for the sake of potentially much larger gains for other sectors of agriculture and for the overall economy. Canada’s dairy and feather indus-

tries have been worrying about the future of supply management since the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade negotiations of the late 1980s and early 1990s. World trade negotiations have almost entirely faded from view, but they’ve been replaced by bi-national and multilateral trade deals. Not all the pressure comes from other countries wanting greater market access. There is considerable domestic lobbying from the grocery industry and buyers such as pizza makers who want access to cheaper cheese. Some strategists might argue that now is the time to draw a line in the sand: don’t mess with supply management, even in a minor way, or else. I’d argue that supply management should pick their battles more carefully. The new trade deal could potentially affect some small cheese makers, but the overall impact on dairy farmers would appear to be minute. What if dairy producers mobilize and more dairy farmers and supporters vote for someone other than Conservative candidates in the next

election? Will it be enough to tip the balance in some rural Ontario and Quebec constituencies? Or will the European trade deal mean a net gain in votes for the Conservatives? Quite possibly, other issues such as the Senate scandal or Justin Trudeau’s popular appeal or his possible missteps will end up as pivotal in the next election, making any impact from an outraged supply management sector nearly impossible to measure. If the Conservative government feels that it has lost supply management support anyway, what will stop other decisions that might be unpopular with the sector? If future governments with a different political stripe perceive that supply management carries no significant political clout, what decisions might they make when push comes to shove? The dairy industry and by extension the entire supply management system should think about whether the EU trade deal is the issue on which to stake its future.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

guess I knew it was coming some day soon, but when Barry Wilson handed me a letter announcing his retirement, I still went into shock. Barry has been writing for The Western Producer for 35 years. I don’t remember a time when Barry wasn’t part of the weekly mix of stories, columns, and more recently, blogs. Around here, Barry is not just a consummate journalist. He is an institution. Barry has made it into the news himself recently. Last year, he was inducted into the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame, only the second journalist ever to be so honoured. More recently, publisher Shaun Jessome handed Barry a plaque celebrating his 35 years with the WP at a staff and special guest barbecue. The barbecue, in turn, was held in celebration of our 90th anniversary. That means Barry has been working for the WP for more than a third of its existence. That’s amazing. From a getting out the paper standpoint, we are really going to miss Barry’s work. He is among the most prolific journalists ever to grace the pages of the WP, or any other newspaper. He has filled perhaps tens of thousands of news holes. We are going to miss his insights into ag policy and ag politics. Barry has long been the only dedicated full-time agricultural reporter on Parliament Hill. From a human standpoint, we will miss Barry’s stories. He has a memory like a steel trap and remembers many incredible moments in political history. Indeed, he has authored several books on the subject. We will miss his humour. I will miss his sage advice. We will miss him. That being said, I do offer a bright side. While Barry will retire Jan. 31, he will not leave us altogether. Barry has promised to write a “fortnightly” column (who else would use that elegant word?), at least for a while. His presence and his knowledge will still be found on page 10, and we are grateful that he has agreed to continue filing to the WP. Barry is going out on top, a journalist decorated for his work even though he eschewed enter ing competitions. He wasn’t in it for the recognition. He was in it to serve democracy, and you, our readers. All the best in retirement, dear friend.

Re: Kevin Hursh column, “Putting money where my mouth is means ‘no’ to A&W,” WP Oct. 10. The eat it and shut up attitude of the upper end of the beef industry is becoming old. The consumer clearly wants a choice, so we have businesses working together to give them choice. While these businesses are rising to the challenge, they are also increasing overall beef demand in the marketplace. By implanting, mass medicating and using lower level antibiotics — i.e. ionophores — beef production is increased and economized,

yet demand is lowered. Find me another industr y that does the same. Moreover, would the cow-calf producer (lower end beef producer) not benefit by reduced supply and increased demand of beef? Rancher’s calves should be worth more. The upper end of the commodity beef industr y seems to miss this. Now don’t get me wrong, the commodity beef industry is an amazing industry. On any given day, in all corners of the country, consumers have access to affordable, fresh, quality beef. I am amazed on a daily basis by the infrastructure required, logistical challenges that are solved and the

overall cohesion of the industry from one end to the other that is achieved to pull this off. However, I do not see anything wrong with consumers demanding an alternative, and then it being provided. I embrace the idea and find it encouraging that the beef industry can evolve and continue to bring a high quality and trusted product to the market place. Ma n y c o n s u m e r s, i n c l u d i n g myself, are losing faith in self-interested research, politicians, big business and media. By losing consumer trust, we have consumers shying away from our product and seeking alternatives. They say the proof is in the science that implants, mass medica-

tion and low level antibiotics used through the feeding period are safe. Yet we have skeptical consumers seeking something different, so let’s give them something different. The cow-calf producer who weans at home can avoid mass medication, avoid implants and avoid low-level antibiotics if they so chose. A market now exists for these calves. How can this not be a good thing for the beef industry as a whole? The consumer is demanding an alternative. Kudos to those who are providing it. John Lamb, Rocky View County, Alta.

MORE REFLECTION NEEDED To the Editor: I’ve been close to the Cavers family following the inspection — better known as “the raid” — of their onfarm meat processing facility. We’ve formed a network of supporters to find a silver lining. Much damage has been done to the Cavers’ reputation and to the trust there was in the government’s benevolent hand. Many of us are concerned about the future of smallscale processing. We can’t just merrily move on. We feel more reflection is needed. As citizens, we deserve to know why the food safety department of Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives acted in such an unreasonable way. Please remember that MAFRI has not said that the prosciutto (dried meat) was unsafe for human consumption…. A few troubling questions arise. 1. Apparently, when the Cavers won the best new food prize at MAFRI’s Great Manitoba Food Fight, the food safety department reacted, saying that in the absence of provincial standards for the processing of prosciutto, the Cavers product should not have been a contender. Your Sept. 19 WP editorial suggests one government department didn’t know what the other was doing. Or could it be they did know and the Cavers became pawns in a power struggle? 2. We lobbied for a cooling off period so that the confiscated meat would not be destroyed without a review. We were told the political arm of government has no authority over the food safety arm. Is the food inspection department a law unto themselves? … Why such a rush to destroy the confiscated meat? It’s a dried product and would easily have lasted through a review of the process. 3. The Cavers asked repeatedly for clear standards … When they asked for clarification of the confusing guidelines they were being given, the inspector actually told them it was largely up to him to decide what was acceptable. Does this sound reasonable? 4. In his Sept. 26 WP article, Ed White suggests small processors may not “get” what it takes to provide safe food to their customers; that artisanal processes are less “sophisticated” than industrial processing. Firstly, if we examined food-borne illness — E. coli, listeria, etc. — caused by eating industrial

OPINION food and compared our findings with statistics of illness and death caused by eating foods grown and prepared by neighbours, what would we find? This research should be possible and would help the discussion…. We all want the food we eat to be safe, diverse and healthy. We all want more farmers and new entrants growing a diversity of foods and making comfortable livings doing it. Will MAFRI review the Cavers’ situation? Will it in generous spirit facilitate the process of developing food safety standards that are appropriate for different scales of production? I appreciate your paper finding knowledgeable commentators on these developments. David Neufeld, Boissevain, Man.

Churches help credit unions SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

hurches in England are giving space to local credit unions in an attempt to help the rural poor, reports the Arthur Rank Centre. Moses Cody would be thrilled. In the 1920s and 1930s in the Maritimes, he wanted to help disadvantaged fishermen and out-port folk. The Antigonish Movement was founded by committed church activists who invited locals to help themselves by participating in co-ops and credit unions. By pooling what savings they had, and using the money to make local loans, members were able to better themselves financially and improve the standard of living in their community. The not-for-profit credit union movement quickly spread. Credit unions and local co-ops resuscitated many communities on the Prairies during the 1930s. By the 1970s, the movement had extended around the world. When the 2008 financial crisis brought many to their knees, churches in the United States reminded people that credit unions were member-based and intent on helping people escape the cycle of debt. The response to the program “where people are worth more than money” was incredible. In these days, sickened by the way “doorstep lenders” and “payday loan companies” hound the rural poor, some churches in England are offering space where sub-branches of the local credit union can offer their services a couple of days a week. People can deposit savings, apply for loans and make repayments. Trained volunteers from the church, as part of their mission and ministry, offer support services. It is a way parish churches serve a life-giving role in their community.

WILD MUSTARD RESISTANCE To the Editor: I feel compelled to respond to Sean Pratt’s story regarding rotating canola to deal with herbicide resistance (WP Oct. 10, page 16). I did plant Clearfield canola this season. After using the recommended herbicide Solo — BASF brand — I was puzzled that some wild mustard plants did survive and were thriving and choking out Clearfield canola plants. When I asked for the BASF representative to inspect my fields, I learned that the company has been observing Group 2 resistant wild mustard in certain areas for several years. Also, in Saskatchewan’s 2013 Guide to Crop Protection, there is no mention of the possibility of wild mustard being resistant to Solo —

BASF brand. An email to the provincial weed specialist did not trigger any response. It will be interesting to find out what the proportion of wild mustard in the canola sample is and how BASF will be dealing with this resistance issue in Clearfield crops. Gregor Beck, Rouleau, Sask.

MINERAL RIGHTS To the Editor: One factual error needs to be corrected in the otherwise-excellent “Farmers protest restrictions that limit drilling” (WP, Oct. 4) story: I do not farm “a century farm near Rocanville” and have never presented myself as a “farmer.”

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | OCTOBER 31, 2013

This common mistake highlights two aspects of the Potash Restricted Drilling Area (PRDA) story that keep getting missed: more than farmers have mineral rights within the Rocanville PRDA — many families kept them after selling their land. As well, this injustice, and the loss, also includes farmers without mineral rights. Their competitiveness is significantly undermined by the fact that they cannot collect the revenue that would inevitably come from the surface rights — which must be obtained for oil and gas exploration to take place — that they still possess. They can only watch their nonPRDA neighbours collect them to be used in the fierce competition for land. We must keep clear the actual way in which this issue is “simple:” the de facto expropriation of our mineral rights without competition was

unjust and the ways in which it is (very) “complicated.” It will take a variety of areas of professional expertise to sort out just what these rights really and truly are worth in such a context. Also, when someone actually has to pay for what they take, we will find out how much they actually need it and how much they actually need. Just how big do PRDAs really have to be anyway? The PRDA issue cannot be ignored any longer. We are also finally in a position where all parties to the dispute can no longer avoid the concessions they must make to obtain the reasonable and fair —to all sides — settlement desired, I believe, by most mineral rights holders and by the people of Saskatchewan.

FARM AGENCY | PLANNING

Hog industry considers adopting producer levy Promotion and research | A Canadian hog industry checkoff could raise $2 million annually STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s hog industry is trying to follow the beef industry model by establishing a levy-funded national Promotion and Research Agency. However, it is proving to be a complicated inter-provincial process. The initiative could give the industry close to $2 million in annual funding for research and promotion projects, but it will require provincial co-operation and national approval.

If established under the Farm Products Agencies Act, the agency would be funded by levies on domestic hog sales and on imports. Canadian Pork Council communications director Gary Stordy said such an agency could produce $1.8 mi l l i on i n a n nu a l re v e nu e f o r research and industry promotion. “I think we all want to move forward, and our wish is that in one year we can put in place an agency,” council president Jean-Guy Vincent said after an Oct. 25 council meeting. “But there are complications, so I

can’t say that will happen.” The complications include getting agreement from provincial pork boards to co-ordinate their existing levy programs. Legally, the industry can impose levies on imports only if there is a uniform national levy on production for research and promotion. The import charge must be no higher than the lowest provincial levy if there is no national levy rate. Provincial levy rates vary, with the lowest in Saskatchewan at 75 cents per slaughter hog processed in the

province. “We have presented to provinces a plan to go forward with an agency,” said Vincent. “The next step will be for provinces to change some rules because all provinces are not with the same rules. But at our meeting, provinces said they want to go ahead with the ability to have a checkoff on imported product.” Stordy said the work could take a year or more. The next five months will be spent consulting with producers and

importers to find common rules and levy rates, followed by provincial changes and sign-off and approval from the National Farm Products Council of Canada and the federal government. “It is reasonable to say the next steps are negotiations, although there is an industry agreement that this is something we should pursue,” he said. This year, Beef Canada became the first sector to successfully jump through the hoops to form such an agency.

There is a spring in the hoofs of the Canadian hog industry these days, driven by higher prices, lower feed costs and more export opportunities. “There really is optimism in the industry these days after some tough years,” Canadian Pork Council president Jean-Guy Vincent said after an Oct. 25 council meeting in Ottawa. “I think there is a feeling that the future looks very good for the hog sector.” A cautious note is that porcine epidemic diarrhea is spreading in the United States, and the Canadian industry is worried that it will eventually arrive north of the border to kill weanlings as is happening in the U.S. “There certainly are worries about the financial impact on our farms if this does make it into Canada,” said Vincent. However, the broader picture, after years of bad financial news, is positive. “More positive than I have seen for years.” Part of it is that hog prices are increasing, and part of it is that grain prices have been falling, reducing hog sector costs. As well, the government recently announced a trade deal with the European Union that promises up to $400 million a year in increased market access to the largest consumer base in the world. “The trade deal with Europe really is important to us,” said Vincent. “It will affect prices and maybe offset some of the negative impact from COOL (U.S country-of-origin labelling rules).” CPC communications director Gary Stordy said delegates at the meeting were more optimistic than he has seen. Access to the EU market could create a market for shoulder and ham cuts that are not as popular in North America. “This meeting really had a positive feel to it,” said Stordy. “Developments really have given the industry some optimism.”

PRIVATIZATION | INSPECTIONS

PEDIGREED SEED FACTS

Farmers concerned about crop inspection costs

• Pedigreed seed varieties increased from 557 in 1978 to 2,076 in 2012

Pedigreed seed | As industry prepares for privatized pedigreed seed inspections, growers worry costs will rise CAMROSE BUREAU

Farmers are worried that crop inspection service costs for pedigreed seed could increase 600 to 700 percent when seed inspection is privatized this spring. The cost of inspecting seed could jump from 75 cents an acre to higher than $5 an acre, depending on the location, acres and other services provided by private inspectors. “It’s going to be brutal,” said Ed Lefsrud of Viking, Alta., who is not looking forward to the bill he will pay next year when licensed private contractors, rather than the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, inspect his fields of pedigreed seed. “They’re not charging what it costs; it’s what they think they can get away with,” he said. “They think farmers are making so much money, why wouldn’t they line up and take it.” The privatization of pedigreed seed inspection by April 1 was announced in the 2012 federal budget, and officials from seed growing groups and the CFIA have spent the last 18 months working to transfer the services. Craig Lindholm of Lindholm Seed Farm in New Norway, Alta., said he realizes the government has subsidized the cost of inspecting fields, but he is concerned by the dramatic jump in costs. “It will be a very expensive transition,” Lindholm said about the 20 different varieties of wheat, barley, peas and fababeans that all must be inspected on his farm. “There is a limit to how much we are able to pay in regards to field inspection.” Lindholm expects to do plenty of negotiating before he signs a contract for inspection services. He wants to be assured the new inspectors are trained properly, will be able to inspect his fields when they need to be inspected and know what they’re doing. “As soon as they walk into the field, I’ll be able to tell you if they have any expertise or not,” said Lindholm, who has grown pedigreed seed for more than 30 years. Twenty-nine individuals and companies are in the process of obtaining their Authorized Seed Crop Inspection Services licence from the CFIA for next year. Only one company, AgCall Inc., has indicated it will provide services in all regions of Canada. Most companies plan to specialize in regional areas. Wade Barnes, president and chief executive officer of Farmers Edge, a precision agronomy company, said some of its customers asked it to look at providing inspection services. “It was a natural fit for us,” said Barnes, whose network of agronomists already work with farmers across the Prairies providing crop and soil sample services. Barnes has also heard farmers’ objections about the increased price for the services but believes his company will be able to provide farmers with better service, more flexible hours and lower prices if the inspection services are bundled with their other services. “We have a higher quality of service, but it comes with a higher cost than

they are used to. They’re not overly happy with it,” said Barnes, who hopes to encourage farmers to sign early contracts with his company. Dale Adolphe, executive of the Canadian Seed Growers Association, said the increased cost is farmers’ main concern. “The reality is farmers who once paid 75 cents an acre can expect to pay triple or quadruple, or more,” he said. Some farmers are also worried that not enough new inspectors will be trained to take over the job, but Adolphe believes it won’t be an issue. The CFIA trained 141 new inspec-

tors over the past year to walk fields looking for disease, weeds and off type varieties. As well, there are 40 existing seasonal CFIA inspectors and another 47 people who have received partial training and may finish their training over the winter. “That number is on paper. Like so many things, the devil is in the details,” said Adolphe, who added the inspectors are not spread evenly across the country. Adolphe said the weakest inspection services area seems to be in eastern Ontario and eastern Quebec. Western Canada, southwestern Ontario and the Maritimes will likely

be fairly well serviced. One problem may be in southern Manitoba, where farmers are growing more soybeans, which need to be inspected twice: once during the growing season and the second time right before harvest. Many inspectors are likely to be university students, and having enough qualified inspectors available for the second inspection in September or October may be a problem. Ryan Murray, president of the Manitoba Seed Growers Association, said there is some “sticker shock” with the new prices.

• Wheat is the most widely grown crop among pedigreed seed producers, with 400,000 acres planted in 2012 • The other most popular crops include soybeans at 255,000 acres, barley at 150,000, canola at 60,000 to 70,000 acres and peas at 60,000 to 70,000 acres “It will take a few years to get used to,” he said. Les Trowell, past-president of the Saskatchewan Seed Growers Association, said the increased cost may prompt farmers to decide to inspect only fields that they know they can sell as seed.

FIELDS ON WHEELS | ASSESSING THE FUTURE

Farmers, shippers challenged by climate change potential Crops, grain logistics may need to adjust to weather events BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

More than any other industry, agriculture is affected by the weather. And more than almost any other industry, farming will be affected by climate change. However, figuring out exactly how that will affect the practical business

of seeding, managing and harvesting crops isn’t easy for farmers. “I’m a subscriber to the science of (climate change), but I’m always very skeptical of the hysteria of climate change,” farmer Grant Dyck told the Fields on Wheels conference Oct. 22. The annual Canadian grain logistics conference focused on the potential impact of climate change

over the next 30 to 50 years, with speakers from railways, ports, marketing firms and other parts of the system giving their best guesses about what impacts could occur. Climate change could lead to the western Prairies becoming arid and a harsher environment for crops, while the eastern Prairies could become more like the northern corn belt, speakers said. Railways will have to analyze whether once-in-centuries weather events, such as flooding of the past few years across the Prairies, are becoming more frequent. Ports will have to figure out if the cities in which they operate might be flooded as ocean levels rise. How will the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway system be affected by the multiple impacts of climate change, considering its reliance on adequate water levels to move grain? How s a f e w i l l t h e ra i l l i n e t o Churchill be, with its reliance on permafrost-supported tracks? Some speakers said the industry is already grappling with early impacts of climate change, such as the Great Lakes no longer being covered by ice for most of the winter. Steve Whitney, commodity shipping manager with Canadian Pacific Railway, said forecasting rail requirements for each crop year is already difficult because weather can radically affect production. His company uses five- and 10-year averages as a baseline but must deal with situations such as droughts or suddenly larger crops as they arise. Particularly challenging are events such as the massive flooding in the Rockies and down the Bow River this summer, which disrupted railways in many places. It was described as a once-in-150years flood, but logistics operators are wondering if extreme events are going to happen more often. “It won’t be another century and a half before we experience those kinds of things again,” said Whitney. He said weather volatility will have unpredictable impacts, and perhaps the big crops this summer are the better side of the instability that caused the western flooding. “It would be great to see if some of that volatility produced more crops like this,” said Whitney.

GRAIN | TRANSPORTATION

Railways say they’re ready for big crop Grain car availability | Heavy traffic expected and network is already near capacity BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Demand for hopper cars to move this year ’s record grain crop is unusually high. However, the number of rail cars supplied to country elevators is still well below what has been requested. Executives at Canada’s major railway companies say they are working flat out to move Western Canada’s record crop. Officials at Canadian National Railway said the country’s grain supply network is already operating near full capacity and has been for weeks. In an Oct. 22 conference call, CN officials said the company has been spotting 5,300 to 5,400 hopper cars per week since early October. It is unusually high from the company’s perspective but well below what grain handling companies are requesting, according to the Western Canadian Grain Elevators Association (WCGEA). Executives at Canadian Pacific Railway said they are also moving record volumes of grain. CP is anticipating heavy grain traffic throughout the winter with record volumes to the West Coast and strong eastern movement as well. “In a non-regulated environment now … customers want to get that product to market, so if you keep their export elevators full, you’re going to be rewarded with business and that’s what we’re seeing,” said CP president Keith Creel. “If we’ve got the assets, the cars available and we’re making the turns at the West Coast where most of that grain is going, we’re going to be in play.” Grain car availability will be top of mind for the Canadian grain industry this winter as it attempts to market a record Canadian crop estimated at 68 million tonnes. Last week, Wade Sobkowich of the WCGEA said grain companies are already rationing sales to match rail capacity. Unused storage capacity in Western Canada’s country elevator system is estimated at less than 10 percent, he added. In an Oct. 23 newsletter to producers, CWB pool manager David Przednowek said requests for rail cars jumped quickly after a slow start to the harvest. Railways have responded well, but demand for cars is extremely high, he added. “Any time that the railways can spot over 5,000 empties in the country in a given week is a really good week for them, and they’ve both been able to consistently do that,” Przednowek said. “The issue is not the performance of the railways so far, it’s the fact that … open order books are maybe double that size, so the shortfall on both railways is growing.” CN president Claude Mongeau said satisfying customer demand for grain cars could be difficult this winter, especially if weather becomes a limiting factor. A recent CN derailment at Gainford, Alta., west of Edmonton has complicated efforts, at least temporarily. The company’s main line through Alberta was closed for nearly four

days last week after 13 cars in a mixed freight train jumped the rails, prompting the evacuation of nearly 100 residents from their homes. The line was reopened late Oct. 22 but restoring fluid train movements will take time. Meanwhile, the railway is optimistic that it will conclude a new labour agreement with about 3,000 CN employees, including conductors and yard workers, who have been without a contract since late July, Mongeau added. Improvements to CN’s fleet of locomotives and a $100 million investment in rail infrastructure on the

company’s main line between Winnipeg and Edmonton will help maintain steady flow on the Prairies. CP is also optimistic that it will continue to move record grain volumes, Creel said. “We’ve responded to the record Canadian grain demand, moving from a near dead stop through August due to the late harvest to transporting record volumes by the month end,” he said. “In fact, we moved 12 percent more grain loads (in the third quarter of 2013) than in 2012. This obviously sets us up extremely well for the big crop ahead of us.”

Canadian National Railway officials report the company has been spotting as many as 5,400 hopper cars per week since early October. Traffic is expected to be heavy throughout the winter following a large harvest by prairie farmers. | FILE PHOTO

POULTRY | ANIMAL WELFARE

Producer group, farm bring in changes following video Egg Producers of Alberta | Video showing workers smashing chicks and throwing them in garbage was broadcast on television news program BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

It’s the chicken equivalent of closing the barn door after the horse has escaped. Officials with Egg Producers of Alberta are trying to assure consumers that a disturbing video showing inhumane handling practices on two Alberta chicken farms isn’t representative of what happens in the entire industry. The video, taken by the animal rights group Mercy for Animals Canada, was shown earlier this month on the investigative television show W5.

Since its release, the provincial chicken organization has hired investigators and veterinarians to work with the owner of the pullet and egg laying operation to improve animal handling practices. “We engaged an independent poultry vet and did an extensive review of the farm and the day activities and made quite a number of recommendations,” said Susan Schafers, an Egg Farmers of Alberta director. “There was stuff on there that was disturbing and concerning.” The edited video shows chickens in crowded cages, chicks being smashed by workers and chicks

tossed in garbage bags. “The farmer himself has been quite devastated about what he saw in the video. He was very upset and shocked,” Schafers said about Amin Valji, who owns Creekside Grove Farms and KuKu Farms, where the video was shot, and who is also an Egg Farmers of Alberta board member. “He has made every effort to work with the veterinarian. Almost all recommendations have been implemented.” Creekside Grove Farms provides c h i c k s t o Ku Ku Fa r m s, a n e g g operation. Together they are one

of the largest egg laying farms in the province with 126,000 egg laying hens. The veterinarian and Egg Farmers of Alberta staff have worked with Valji and his staff to teach proper ways to handle birds, correct euthanization procedures and the proper way to load birds. “We really had a wake-up call, and maybe we need to look at the way we train employees and the liability factor. That is a big concern. When you’re relying on those people, you have certain expectations and that wasn’t happening,” said Schafers, who operates a free run farm at Stony Plain.

GET AHEAD AND STAY AHEAD

“Consumers are probably very shocked by the footage, but it is not representative of the farms across Canada. A lot of us had an awful lot of sleepless nights in the last little while about what this says about our industry. That is why we want to assure people that we care.” The three-minute video was sent to a panel of three farm animal care specialists, who said the video clearly shows unethical and irresponsible treatment of animals. “What was shown in the video is inappropriate and unacceptable,” said Dr. Candace Croney of Purdue University. “Handling birds that roughly reflects a lack of cognizance that these are live, sentient animals that can feel pain. What I saw shows a real need for additional training of farm employees at the very minimum.” Another panel member, B.C. veterinarian and poultry consultant Dr. Stewart Ritchie, said: “I disagreed with everything I saw in the video, but I would have liked to have seen more than the short video clips so I could more clearly understand if the scenes they chose to show truly represented the way this farm was being managed.”

Shipley chairs ag committee BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Ontario Conservative MP and former farmer Bev Shipley is the new chair of the House of Commons agriculture committee. He was nominated at the committee’s first meeting of the new parliamentary session Oct. 24, replacing former Brandon MP Merv Tweed, who resigned his seat this summer to become president of Omnitrax, which owns the railway to Hudson Bay. Shipley, 66, was elected in 2006 from a rural riding near London, Ont. He owned a purebred dairy operation and a cash crop farm. Shipley once sat on the agriculture committee and more recently has been on the trade committee. The committee meets again Oct. 29 to begin to plot out an agenda for the winter session. Shipley said he expects that the agricultural implications of the recently negotiated trade deal with the European Union will be on the committee agenda. Other agenda items will likely include hearings on the strength of federal-provincial business risk management programs now that commodity prices are falling. The April 1 launch of the new agricultural policy framework significantly reduced coverage under business risk management programs. “Obviously, if members want to discuss that, it could be an issue,” said Shipley. “There is nothing new about agricultural cycles. Perhaps what was surprising, at least for crops, was how long the last one lasted.”

COMMUNITY SPIRIT | ENTERTAINMENT

Community brings new life to building Abandoned church | Former United Church in Brock, Sask., is now home to community events and live music BY KRISTEN MCEWEN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The church in Brock, Sask., sat abandoned for years until it was recently reclaimed as a place where the community could meet once more. Formerly a United Church, the building now serves as a place to host events, such as the recent Harvest Wrap Up Concert. “It’s just a wrap up of the harvest and all of us (the community) are done now so it’s just a way to get together and be done harvest.… We don’t see each other and don’t talk and we’re busy working for a two month stretch,” said organizer and building owner Heather Speir. “Now it’s just, we’re done, get together, listen to music, have a good time. Inevitably, people break out two-stepping and it just gets carried away at some point in the night.” A handful of events has happened at the old church during the course of the year. For each event, Speir gathers the House Band, an ever-revolving cast of musicians, featuring herself and her neighbours. Speir sings and plays the guitar during the performances. “I do all of it with my band,” she said. “Without them I couldn’t do it.” Speir and her band ensure a supper is prepared before the show, the sound system is ready to go and refreshments are available during the performance. “This is maybe only the fifth show, but it caught on really quick,” Speir said. “The show sold out in four days and there’s maybe 130 people in our town. I don’t advertise, but people in the rural community are craving this. It’s something that’s all live music and there’s no particular age or style of person that fits it.” About 120 people attend each event from Brock and the surrounding area. Speir said people from Winnipeg and Calgary have also attended in the past. At the last show, the House Band opened up for the Canadian alternative country singer and songwriter Fred Eaglesmith.

Heather Speir, centre, plays with the House Band at The Church events centre in Brock, Sask. Speir recently bought and converted the church into a community centre, now used for concerts, preschool and yoga. | KRISTEN MCEWEN PHOTO The harvest concert featured The Barrelmen, a country band from Saskatoon. It was the second time the band had performed in Brock to a sold-out crowd. Simply named The Church, Speir bought the 100-year-old building a year ago when trustees put it up for sale. “It was actually the church that all three of my kids were baptized in and my brother and sister-in-law were married in … so it’s been a big part of the community,” Speir said. The church had sat empty for years as an aging congregation moved to the more accessible community hall.

Speir said people were happy when she bought the church to hold community events, calming fears that an outside party would buy it or tear it down. “But I cleaned it up and there it was, it was just a gem waiting,” she said. “And it’s cathedral style. It’s built that way so it’s on a nice lean, so everyone has a good seat. We’ve got a great stage so it’s perfect for this. Everyone wants it.” Speir had concerns of her own that the community would not see the potential the church could offer. “(Through) word of mouth and it sells so quick,” she said.

“It really means a lot. I always worried about that at first, whether it would work, could I get 60 people? And at our first show we had 200.” While The Church is up and running, it takes money to keep it going. “It’s $375 to heat it a month in the winter,” Speir said. “It’s just bucketing heat out the windows … and it hasn’t been used at all and now we’re all in it using it on a weekly basis, it’s hard on it. So we’re fixing it up a little bit at a time.” The shows and extra events at the centre help cover the costs. As well, yoga sessions and pre-

school classes regularly take place there. Speir lived across Canada before returning home to nearby Rosetown, Sask. She said that it was rare to find a venue available for musicians to perform in a rural community. “I’m a housewife so (I take care of ) my three kids and my garden and my yard.… this is something I can do within my own community,” she said. “I can get this artistic side of me out but I don’t have to be in the city to do it. And you can’t lead unless they follow and unless they come and be receptive of it.”

PUMPKINS | SEEDS

Pumpkins showcase the colours and flavours of fall TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

e have just returned from a trip to Eastern Canada where along with beautiful fall colours, we enjoyed fall decorations and community activities to celebrate harvest. Pumpkins play a prominent role. Uniquely decorated small markets and roadside stands with fresh picked produce are common. Jo-Ann’s Deli Market and Bake Shop was one of my favourites in Mahone Bay, N.S., which is also known for the Great Scarecrow Festival and Antique Fair. It features a pumpkin carving contest, scarecrow decorating challenge and candlelit pumpkin path. We also visited the Howard Dill Pumpkin Farm, where Dill’s Atlantic Giant, the world’s largest pumpkin variety, was developed. These monsters can weigh in at more than 2,000 lb. (900 kg). The 2012 World Record pumpkin was grown by Ron Wallace of Rhode Island, whose gourd topped the scales at 2,009 lb. (911.27 kg). For Western Canada, the records are held by Henry Banman of Schanzenfeld, Man., with a 1,379.5 lb. (625.7 kg) pumpkin, John Lobay of Smoky Lake, Alta., with a 1,199 lb. (543.86 kg) pumpkin and Katrina Pierce of Moose Jaw, Sask., with a 727 lb. (330.5 kg) pumpkin. At the Dill farm, fields were full of bright orange pumpkins, ranging in size from miniature to mammoth. The largest pumpkin we saw was more than 1,000 lb. (450 kg). You may ask what do you do with such a large pumpkin. They can be dressed up to look like a turkey, carved into huge jack-o’lanterns, included in displays with straw bales, cornstalks and scarecrows or hollowed out to become a PVC (personal vegetable craft), another word for a watercraft for the great Pumpkin Regatta held on Lake Pesaquid at Windsor, N.S. Dill’s son, Andrew, known as the pumpkin chef, grew up among the pumpkins. We purchased some of his pumpkin jam, pumpkin salsa and pumpkin marmalade while at the farm.

WOMEN’S ISSUES | RESOLUTIONS

ACWW event addresses maternal health, quality of life issues BY KRISTEN MCEWEN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Improving maternal health and curbing female genital mutilation, violence against women and the use of bisphenol A were among resolutions passed at the triennial Associated Country Women of the World conference in Chennai, India, this month.

Delegate Brenda Wilsie, president of the Alberta Women’s Institute, said while HIV/AIDS is a greater problem in developing countries than in Canada, there is a need for improved maternal health and quality of life worldwide. An ACWW resolution addressed the practice of female mutilation as endangering the health and life of girls. “I can’t see how this (resolution)

will work successfully unless governments impose some rules, but if people morally believe it, that’s what they’re going to do unless there’s some sort of penalty in place to stop it,” Wilsie said. “But it was quite a horrible thing to learn about.” She said violence against women happens everywhere. “In some countries in the world, if a woman is raped, they are deemed to

be at fault and punished. I can’t understand how that works and it’s quite disturbing. Any of this violence needs to be stopped.” A resolution also called for the discontinuation of BPA, the main polycarbonate in plastic containers that holds food or water and is present in medical devices and toys. BPA can imitate estrogen and other hormones, which can affect fetuses

and newborns, reports the National Institutes of Health. The ACWW, which represents women in rural and urban areas and has a consultative status with the United Nations, will lobby governments around the world to pass legislation to improve the life of women. The ACWW comprises 460 member groups located in 70 countries.

ORCHARDS | NEW INDUSTRY

Berries are more than a hobby Saskatoons and sea buckthorn | Couple learning how to make orchards viable BY ANNE COTE FREELANCE WRITER

BEAUSEJOUR, Man. — A heart attack set grower Gord Fedora on a quest for healthier food, and one of the things he discovered was a little known berry called sea buckthorn. He and his wife, Kathie Fedora, used to grain farm near Arborg, Man. Coincidentally, Kathie had a dream of growing saskatoons, but she was also intrigued with the multitude of nutritional benefits sea buckthorn provided. She said that, in addition to high levels of vitamin C, the berries have a full complement of omegas, which are present in the berry’s oil, leaves and seed. All parts of the bush are also a source of protein for livestock feed. Fifteen years ago, the couple bought an 80 acre berry farm near Beausejour. “I always wanted to go back to farming,” said Gord, who works at the South Beach Casino and had no desire to return to grain farming. He said the berry farm wasn’t meant to be a full-time job. “It was supposed to be a hobby, but the hobby kind of outgrew itself.” Fedora Farms now runs a one acre U-pick strawberry field and grows

6,500 saskatoon plants as well as sour cherries and black currents. However, the five acre sea buckthorn orchard is their pride and joy. Kathie said sea buckthorn grows well in cooler climates and is popular in Russia, Ukraine, Finland, Sweden and northern China. It’s a hardy shrub but doesn’t tolerate wet roots for long. She said the hobby has been hard work. They started out with seedlings but quickly learned they won’t survive if overshadowed by tall weeds. Harvesting also turned out to be more work than the Fedoras anticipated because the proper equipment wasn’t available. The berries are hand harvested by pruning the branches that contain berries. The shrubs can be trimmed to a manageable height, but the female shrubs, which produce the berries, also produce large sharp thorns. Kathie said she now buys leather gloves by the boxful for their workers because the thorns rip the material apart. The berry clumps are frozen immediately after harvest, which the couple had to learn how to do when they started. “ We b o u g ht b i g f re e z e r s a n d cleaned the berries off the frozen

pruned branches through hand labour, blowers and more hand labour just to get them ready for processing,” Kathie said. “Now … all of our processing in Manitoba is done at the Food Development Centre in Portage la Prairie.” Kathie said she’s impressed with the work done at the centre, which helped them learn how to produce an odour free product from what is naturally a stinky berry. Kathie, who is president of the Manitoba Sea Buckthorn Growers Association, has been actively involved in searching out new equipment and new varieties of sea buckthorn for the industry. The Fedora sea buckthorn orchard has been an experimental orchard as well as an income source. The Fedora family has changed

HEALTH | FOOD SAFETY

Washing packaged greens key to minimizing infection risk E. coli O157 prevalent on leafy greens BY SUSAN MCIVER FREELANCE WRITER

SUMMERLAND, B.C. — A growing number of human infections is related to the increased popularity of processed packaged fresh greens, said a research scientist. Susan Bach’s work at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre (PARC) in Summerland B.C., has focused on the persistence and prevalence of E. coli O157 on leafy greens like lettuce and spinach. “The results will help determine what areas to target for control,” she said. The bacteria can be introduced to the greens at any point from field to plate by workers with contaminated hands. “Be sure to wash leafy greens well, use different cutting boards for vegetables and meat, and cook ground beef thoroughly,” Bach said. E. coli O157 can enter a dormant state in which it is viable but is not cultivable using standard microbiological techniques. This characteristic complicates food safety investigations because bacteria capable of infecting humans cannot be detected. Bach and her colleagues are using nucleic acid staining methods and a real time poly chain reaction technique to detect the increase of DNA as it is being amplified. This work will help to ensure that E. coli O157, even when dormant, is detected. This serotype is commonly found in cattle and other livestock. In humans, it causes diarrhea, vomiting

and, in severe cases, kidney failure. Infection can be acquired by direct contact with animals, drinking untreated water and eating improperly cooked contaminated meat and unpasteurized milk and milk products. Recently, E. coli O157 made news when federal health officials recalled packaged burgers due to possible contamination. One death and 21 illnesses were also linked to unpasteurized cheese items produced by a B.C. artisanal cheese maker. Contaminated uncooked vegetables, including sprouted seeds and raw fruits, are also sources of human infection. Kenna MacKenzie, PARC’s director of operations, said Bach’s research on the prevalence of E. coli O157 on plant-based food and its persistence in the environment is critical to ensuring that Canadians have access to safe food. “The high quality of work produced by her and her team has resulted in research papers in leading journals,” she said. Related work concerns the effects of on-farm practices, such as manure application and use of irrigation water. Lettuce and spinach can become contaminated if grown in fields near cattle and through irrigation water.

FARM LIVING ON THE FARM | SUCCESSION PLANS

Farming for the love of it Fourth generation | Zelenka family continues to farm on dryland BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Robert and Carol Zelenka grow pulses, oilseeds and cereals on their farm near Taber, Alta. | BARB GLEN PHOTO

TABER, Alta. — From their yard and front window, Robert and Carol Zelenka can see traffic whizzing by on busy Highway 36 south of Taber. They can both remember a time when traffic was minimal but now oilfield vehicles, grain haulers and equipment steadily make their way to and from the United States border crossing at Coutts. It’s a sign of the times, but the farming couple wouldn’t trade their lifestyle or their location for any other. “We live in a beautiful place. Our nearest neighbour is a mile and a half away. We don’t have to worry about

Setting the pace. Start strong. Finish fast. ✔ Very short, strong straw ✔ Fast, efficient harvest ✔ MR to fusarium ✔ Great fit for intensive management

parties unless we make the party,” says Robert. Carol shares his opinion. “People pay to have vacations where they can sit and relax out in the open. We live that every day and it’s just so amazing. I never get over that. “You look in the evening when the sun’s just got that nice glow, it’s just that beautiful golden colour, and you think ‘wow, I’m sure glad I live here.’ ” Their third generation family farm is about to add a fourth operator. Their son, John, 29, has returned to the farm with the intention of taking it over. Robert’s grandfather bought the prime agricultural land in the early 1930s after moving to Alberta from South Dakota. Then Robert’s father took over. Robert, a heavy duty mechanic by trade, worked for Versatile farm equipment for many years, first as a trouble shooter and later as sales manager for Alberta and British Columbia. But when his father was ready to leave the farm, Robert decided to return to his roots. Experience working for other bosses, and being in management, have helped his farming career and shaped his philosophy. “We’re just running an agriculture business, versus running a hardware store. We’re no different. It’s just that we don’t deal as much with the general public. “We produce food for the world and we’ve always got to keep that in mind. Whatever we produce has to go somewhere.” Carol grew up in Edmonton and met Robert when they were both taking an accounting course at Lethbridge College. “When I first married Bob, it didn’t look like we were going to be on a farm … but then the opportunity came up and we both jumped in. I help out where I can.” She believes it’s valuable for farmraised children to experience other jobs so they can make an informed decision about farming. The 1,500-acre farm produces various pulse crops, yellow mustard, yellow flax, durum and milling wheat. Though unusual in this part of southern Alberta where irrigation is available and common, the farm is entirely dryland. It’s a decision Robert made several years ago after dealing with irrigation

on part of the property. “Irrigation isn’t everything,” he says. “It’s very costly. The operating of it is expensive.” The farm is only a few kilometres from Chin Reservoir, part of the St. Mary River Irrigation District. But using it would mean a lift of 200 feet, which is an expensive proposition. Weather conditions and commodity pr ices in recent years have brought good returns, though Robert retains the typical farmer caution. “Production in southern Alberta is a cyclical thing,” he says. “I don’t want to be a pessimist but when I look at what’s happened here in the last three or four years, I don’t see the trend continuing. “You just can’t go around with your head in the clouds thinking this is going to go on forever. There’s a lot of ex-farmers around who did that.” Both Robert and Carol believe in giving back to their community. He just retired from a multi-year stint on the local gas co-op board and remains on the board for the Taber seed cleaning plant. Carol is on a regional economic development committee, sits on the Municipal District of Taber library board and volunteers with the annual pheasant festival. External activities help keep their lives interesting, Carol says. “We can be together 24-7 at a lot of times in the year. In harvest, I’ll sit on the buddy seat with him in between grain dumps and we’ll be together all the time. We don’t mind it. We get along well. “But you need something in the off times. He does his separate things and I do my separate things.” The couple plans to retire in a few years and when they do, John will bring his own stamp to the farm. “He’s way more adept at the technical things than I am,” Robert says of his son. “Everybody has their strengths. He’s going to bring a lot of that technical type strength to the operation. I think he has as good a chance of making it as anybody else does.” Robert and Carol say their decision to take over the farm years ago was the right one. “The dollar doesn’t mean anything if you’re not happy,” says Robert. “We won’t be the richest farmers on the block but we’re satisfied farmers.”

FINANCE | BORROWING

Lender gains rights under mortgage terms A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

GAIL WARTMAN, B.A., J.D.

hen you sign a mortgage, you are placing some real estate you own as security for the repayment of a debt. Most often, that debt is taken out for the purpose of buying that same piece of real estate. Although your covenant to make your payments on a regular basis is the most obvious promise you make in a mortgage, there are a number of others which, if you break them, can result in you being in breach of your mortgage. Here are some of those promises: You need to keep the building insured with first loss payable to the lending institution. If there is a loss, the lender gets paid from the insurance proceeds. There is always a promise to keep the municipal taxes paid. If the taxes go into arrears, the taxing authority can take tax enforcement proceedings against the property, such as a tax lien and taking title. These steps can affect the security of the mortgage. The property must be kept in good repair. Nothing should be done to diminish the value of the property, and any renovation or construction work on the property must be done according to proper local zoning and building standards. The lending institution has the right under the mortgage to come in and inspect any construction projects that are underway, and if they are not finished in a timely fashion, to have the project completed and the cost put against the mortgage. There should be no environmental contamination to the land involved, and the lending institution reserves the right to undertake testing for environmental contamination at the cost of the owner. If contamination is found, there can be an obligation on the owner to remedy that. There are provisions that conducting illegal acts on the property (such as a marijuana grow operation or a meth lab) is a breach of the terms of the mortgage. There are also provisions requiring the owner of the property to comply with local bylaws and zoning restrictions. There are usually prohibitions against parting with possession of the property by renting it out, or at the least, the requirement that the lending institution be informed if that happens, so that an assignment of rents to the lending institution might be made. There is a requirement that the mortgage should be paid off from the proceeds of the sale. There is also language that prohibits the assumption of the mortgage by a potential purchaser unless the person is approved by the lending institution. This is important in a market where interest rates are low and are predicted to rise in the near future. Assumptions of existing mortgages by potential buyers may become

common in that situation, so remember that a buyer who wishes to assume a mortgage will have to be approved by the lending institution. That should be one of the conditions listed in the offer to purchase. Many of the provisions in a mortgage give rights to the lender that are never invoked, but it is important to know they are there.

TELL US YOUR STORY | YOUTH

Young Co-operators page popular in rural Sask. BY DARLENE INGRAM KIDD MACKLIN, SASK.

n the 90th anniversary of the Western Producer and its service to western Canadians and Canadian agriculture in general, I think it is a fitting tribute to recall the marvelous link to literacy that the Young Co-operators page offered rural children. What phenomenal excitement the evening The Western Producer arrived at our home and it was finally my turn to leaf through the pages. My turn did not always come first. There were pages that Mom wanted to see: page with patterns

and recipes. Dad wanted the entire newspaper. The teacher who boarded at our home wanted a sneak peek at the agricultural news. I wanted the Young Co-operators page and the comics. And we never, but never, divided it nor rumpled the pages. With great anticipation I finally hunkered down on the kitchen floor and spread wide the newspaper to my chosen pages. With quiet enthusiasm I knelt and devoured every story and poem. What marvelous joy to read the works of young authors with pennames such as Yellow Daisy, Rovin’ Tom and Twinkling Star as

nights were black. My heart leapt with the wonder of identifying with other kindred spirits who loved to write. I imagined that I might someday see something I had written on these pages — pages that gained entrance to nearly every western Canadian home. I would have my story visit there too and I would be famous. Each week I read and reread the guidelines for submitting to the Young Co-operators pages. Alas, I always had the conviction that my stories lacked some vital ingredient and therefore were not worthy of Bluebird or the other youth editors for the page choosing to print them. Basically, I lacked the courage and encouragement from the adult world to submit my stories. Naturally they were never chosen for print as they were never submitted. However, all was not lost. In 1989, after reading a rather good story, I thought, that my 12-year-old daughter had written, I, now a teacher and an old hand at encouraging others, suggested that she submit the story to the Young Co-operators. We chose a pen name — I probably as enamoured with the idea as she. I had, in my adult life, begun to write seriously and knew now how to submit articles for publication. Several had been published circa 1978-85 in Western People and other magazines. We sent the package. Imagine our euphoria when, indeed, her story was printed on the Young Co-operators page. And then to our even greater surprise, a package came in the mail from the editors of the page: a pin, a certificate, a banner, a badge for her jacket, I think, an extra copy of her story, a letter of congratulations. It seemed the contents of that envelope were endless, just because we had taken the step to submit that first story to the Young Co-operators. I was floored, probably more than she. And saddened, too, that I had never taken the plunge. So much it would have meant to me, a singular writer in a small, one-room country school. There were lots of isolation factors in that life but none greater than being a writer, for all writers that we studied in those days were surely dead and didn’t really have a face or existence at all. As a teacher, I went on to encourage any young person I knew who enjoyed writing to submit their works to the Young Co-operators’ page. I yearned for them to experience the rush of seeing their work in print for the first time, knowing what a phenomenal difference it might make to a struggling, lonely young writer. The earliest reference I can find for the Young Co-operators page was that Violet McNaughton was the first editor of Mainly for Women and Young Co-operators in The Western Producer circa 1925. These pages she edited until 1950, bringing culinary and literary delight and encouragement to rural prairie women and children.

GOVERNMENT | ROLE IN AGRICULTURE

SPREADING THE WORD

What do farmers want from gov’t?

The Truth about Trade and Technology group annually sponsors a three day event that brings together farmers from around the world to discuss technology and how they use it on their farms. The Des Moines-based group has hosted nine events and now has nearly 100 alumni, which it unites to foster ongoing communication. Chief executive officer Mary Boote announced that there are plans to bring alumni together in a more formal way at future events. The organization encourages farmers to take their message to the general media and population throughout the year. TATT focuses on the issues of free trade and agricultural biotechnology. Boote said the group was formed because of a lack of farmer involvement at World Food Day events. “We are trying to put the farmers back in food.”

Truth About Trade and Technology Farmers Roundtable | Eighteen farmers meeting in Des Moines agree that governments need to provide a stable environment but keep a light regulatory touch BY LES KLETKE FREELANCE WRITER

DES MOINES, Iowa — Former federal agriculture minister Otto Lang is credited with saying: “to get three farmers to agree, you would have to shoot two of them.” However, that was not the case Oct. 15-17 when 18 farmers from 20 countries met during the Truth About Trade and Technology Farmers Roundtable in Des Moines. The producers agreed that they need governments to provide a stable political situation for business to operate but less regulation than is the case today. Gerrid Gust of Davidson, Sask., the Canadian representative to this year’s event, said in his opening remarks that he “wanted greater access to world markets and less restriction by government to those markets.” Gust, who is president of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, said ending the CWB’s marketing monopoly was a step in the right direction. Gust also said his situation was different from most of the farmers at the event because he relies heavily on export markets. “We produce much more than is consumed in our country and have to count on the world market,” said Gust. “I understand that for most of you, the situation is different.” Robert Thompson, who chaired the Roundtable, said two-thirds of the world’s farmers live at subsistence level or below and have to rely on offfarm jobs to supplement their farms’ earnings. T re v o r G i f f o rd o f Z i m b a b w e brought along a $50 trillion note from his countr y’s reser ve bank and assured attendees it was real. “This is after we lopped off 26 zeros. It should have another 26 zeros added to the trillion to represent what our dollar used to be,” he said. “You cannot operate in a country with that kind of inflation. There is no trust in the monetary system or in the government, things that many people take for granted.” Gifford, as with many white farmers in Zimbabwe, has been removed from his farm by the current administration. While he has legal documents from the country’s high court that give him rights to the land, police refuse to act on the documents and he remains in exile from his own farm. Gifford, who was educated in England and is a Nuffield Scholar, said his country used to be a significant exporter of food and supplied much

“I certainly do have a problem with stubborn soil. It refuses to grow wheat.”

of the meat imported by Great Britain. However, today it relies on support programs. “We need a stable government to allow farmers to produce the commodities and give them a reliable place to operate,” he said. “The government does not have to provide the marketing but rather a stable environment to operate in.” The Roundtable featured a day of tours of Iowa agriculture and two days of discussion followed by attendance

at the World Food Prize. Farmers said the event allows them to bond. Gabriela Cruz of Portugal, who had attended the event before, said she has daily contact with a farmer from Africa whom she met at her first Roundtable. “She asks me questions every night … but I feel so sad because I cannot answer her with proper technology,” Cruz said. “The technology I take for granted is not available for her. We need to

work on establishing a network that has people of similar technology helping each other.” Gifford has been on both sides of the technology fence, working his farm as a modern large scale unit and now doing consulting work. He agreed that farmers need to help each other bridge the technology gap. “You cannot apply answers about GPS to someone who is working with a mule, and that is the differences we have within some countries.”

CLIMATE | LONG-TERM WEATHER PARAMETERS

Study points to excessive heat as key yield limiter Ontario, Wisconsin compared | Vegetable crops affected most by number of days with rain and mean temperature BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ontario and Wisconsin share a long-term climate, but the weather might be dramatically different from year to year. Researchers from the University of Guelph wanted to know how close the association is between the two regions, which could help find causes to common problems shared by many regions around the world. To find out, they examined crop yield data of 11 horticultural crops

and one field crop over a 55-year period in Wisconsin. The researchers obtained production yield data from the U.S. Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Agricultural Statistics Service for beets, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, green peas, onions, potatoes, snap bean, sweet corn and grain corn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This study showed the impact of weather on vegetable crop yield and the use of long-term weather parameters in determining how weather affects crop yield,â&#x20AC;? U of G researcher Michael Tesfaendrias said in a reply

to emailed questions. His findings were published in the journal HortScience with colleagues Mary Ruth McDonald and Jon Warland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The study also showed that there w e re a nu m b e r o f s i m i l a r i t i e s between weather parameters of Wisconsin and southern Ontario. While rainfall and temperature were somewhat related, the greatest similarities between the two regions were growing season temperatures and the number of hot days. However, the results demonstrated that they were different enough to be reasonably

independent samples. This could be due to local practices or other nonweather factors.â&#x20AC;? The goal was to test the findings from their work in Ontario to see if they were applicable to other growing areas or only specific to the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, we expected them to be applicable to other areas, but we needed a good test,â&#x20AC;? he said. They focused the study on the region where most of the vegetable crops are grown in Ontario and Wisconsin. As was expected, they found many similarities, and the strongest relationships

were during those periods measured by the number of rainfall days and mean seasonal temperatures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most important point is that the response of the crops is the same, even if the weather patterns in any one year are different,â&#x20AC;? said Tesfaendrias. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means that we are even more confident that the way the crops respond, especially the reduction in yield with high temperatures, is a common occurrence, not just something that happens in Ontario. Thus, growers of these same types of vegetable crops could expect the same responses, whether they are in North America, Europe or some other part of the world where similar crops and cultivars are grown.â&#x20AC;? For rainfall, the number of days was more important than total rainfall amount, and the number of days with hot temperatures, especially during July and August, was the most important weather trigger to measure estimated yields. Tesfaendrias said individual vegetable crops respond differently to varying weather conditions. Crops grown in Wisconsin that showed reduced yield with increasing high temperatures were beets, green peas, onions and sweet corn for processing. Other associations were found when the data for each month of the growing season was examined, including the effects of high temperatures on yields of cabbage, cucumbers, grain corn, onions, snap beans and sweet corn. The study showed that there have changes in weather over the 55 year period with a fluctuating pattern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In general, there was a period with several years of hot summer weather in the late 1940s and the 1950s, followed by a relatively cool period in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s and then more variable weather with more years with hot summers after that.â&#x20AC;? It was the 30 year period from 196090 that triggered the study because cabbage yields were higher in the 1980s than the 1990s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The yield response to various weather parameters was different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For instance, the number of hot days in a growing season was negatively correlated with yields of most vegetable crops evaluated in this study. A high number of days with precipitation in May and July were associated with higher yields of most vegetables and grain corn in Wisconsin. These results indicated the importance of the total and frequency of seasonal precipitation and the negative effect of exposure of crops to extreme temperatures on yields of vegetable crops.â&#x20AC;? Tesfaendrias said high temperatures can be the most difficult weather factor to modify. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the crops that need irrigation, growers may irrigate more often during hot days to prevent heat stress, but this works best with overhead irrigation,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keeping crops cool is quite difficult. For some high value crops, reflective mulches or living mulches may keep the soil a bit cooler.â&#x20AC;? The research shows that it is becoming increasingly important to breed vegetable crops that can tolerate heat and conserve water to cope with a warming climate.

Saskatchewan farmers adopting midge tolerant wheat Alberta, Manitoba lag behind | The list of midge tolerant varieties available to growers is expanding in 2014 with AC Enchant BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The number of acres sown to midge tolerant wheat varieties continues to increase in Canada’s largest wheat producing province. Todd Hyra, western business manager for SeCan, said farmers’ use of midge tolerant varieties in Saskatchewan has increased every year since the first midge tolerant varieties became available in 2010. “I’m still waiting to see 2013 numbers … but in 2012, 32 percent of total wheat acres in the province were midge tolerant varieties, so that’s fantastic uptake,” Hyra said. “I’m expecting to continue to see that grow.”

According to data acquired t h ro u g h Sa s k at c h e w a n ’s c ro p insurance program, midge tolerant AC Unity was the second most popular spring wheat variety grown in the province last year, surpassed only by AC Lillian, a solid stemmed Canada Western Red Spring variety. Unity was planted on 522,000 acres in Saskatchewan last year, compared to 596,000 acres of Lillian. Two other midge tolerant varieties — AC Shaw and CDC Utmost — accounted for another 180,000 acres in Saskatchewan, an impressive number considering the two

var ieties occupied fewer than 20,000 acres in 2011. Hyra said acceptance of midge tolerant wheat varieties has been slower in Manitoba and Alberta, primarily because midge pressure is normally lower in those provinces. However, the insect is showing up in new areas each year. Alberta’s Peace River region saw more midge pressure than usual this year, suggesting that demand for midge tolerant wheat varieties is likely to increase among growers there. Commercial wheat growers across the West had access to eight

midge tolerant varieties in 2013, including AC Unity, AC Goodeve, AC Glencross, AC Fieldstar, AC Shaw, CDC Utmost, AC Conquer and AC Vesper. Another new midge tolerant product, AC Enchant, will be available through FP Genetics for planting in 2014. It is the second midge tolerant Canada Prairie Spring Red variety available to commercial growers in Western Canada. Three other midge tolerant varieties, including the country’s first midge tolerant durum variety and another high-yielding CPSR variety,

will likely hit the market in late 2015 in time for 2016 planting. Midge pressure has been increasing in some durum growing areas. Brendan Payne, business manager with the Saskatchewan Research Council’s GenServe Laboratories, said interest in midge tolerant wheat is likely to increase as more new varieties come on line. “Midge resistant varietal development is only on the uptake,” said Payne. “It’s only going to continue to persist … and from what we know about what’s happening in the sector, the planting acreage is just going to continue increasing.”

Bunge, Dreyfus plan expansions

Financial Management & Succession Planning for Farm Families 2013

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM & REUTERS NEWS AGENCY

Two of the world’s largest agribusiness companies are expanding. Bunge North America, the North American arm of Bunge Ltd., has agreed to buy Mexican wheat miller Grupo Altex, one of that country’s leading wheat millers. Grupo Altex operates six mills with an annual processing capacity of 800,000 tonnes. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Bunge officials said the deal is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to regulatory approval. Bunge Ltd. operates in more than 40 countries and employs 35,000 people. It buys, sells, stores, processes and transports oilseeds, cereal grains, sugar, corn and rice for use in food, feed and biofuel production. The company’s North American operations include canola collection and processing facilities in Western Canada. Meanwhile, Global commodities trader Louis Dreyfus Commodities announced Oct. 17 that it has entered into a joint venture agreement with Brooklyn Kiev LLC to open a 240,000 tonne multi-commodity terminal in Ukraine. Louis Dreyfus already ships from the Black Sea region, which accounts for one-quarter of global wheat volumes. The new terminal will help Dreyfus compete with rivals, including Bunge and Glencore, which also own terminals in the region. Last year, Glencore bought a 50 percent stake in a Russian export terminal. Glencore also owns Viterra, which operates an extensive network of grain collection and export facilities in Western Canada and eastern Australia. Dreyfus said the new terminal, located in Odessa, will be completed by next August and handle corn, wheat, barley and oilseeds for export to Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

RESEARCH | DAIRY

Inflammation may be helpful to postpartum dairy cows Positive function? | Researchers say inflammation may be a biological response to help quickly boost milk production BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Inflammation in livestock comes and goes and is almost always treated as a result of some form of pathogen infection. But what if the inflammation was actually a necessary and positive biological function? Dairy cows go through profound changes in the transition from giving birth to producing milk for the nursing calf. It increases the requirements for energy, glucose, amino acids and other nutrients while also depressing feed intake. This negative energy balance can suppress the immune system and lead to inflammation, which results

in metabolic disorders such as fatty liver or ketosis. Barry Bradford, an associate professor in Kansas State University’s a n i ma l s c i e n c e s a n d i n d u s t r y department, was reading biomedical literature on signals that could change metabolism while in grad school 10 years ago. When he started working at KSU, he began turning conventional thinking on its head, wondering if it was the inflammation that was triggering metabolic disorders in postpartum dairy cows rather than the other way around. If so, why? Bradford and his team, which included researchers at Iowa State University and Michigan State University, studied 75 Holstein cows maintained in individual tie stalls at KSU’s research barn. The cows were

fed twice a day and milked three times a day. They initially tried reducing the inflammation in postpartum cows with the anti-inflammatory drug sodium salicylate (SS) during the first seven days of lactation. They expected to see the drug curb the increase in liver fat and maintain glucose supply, but the results surprised them. “I’ve been involved in enough science to know sometimes things come out the opposite,” Bradford said in an emailed response to questions. “So we watched milk production responses and what really blew me away was that those animals that had all those negative responses in early lactation then turned around at the end of lactation and gave up to 5,000 pounds more milk. It looked like (at first) it was problematic, but the milk

production was astronomical in the oldest group of cows.” When analyzing the results of using SS, Bradford found that liver fat increased and plasma glucose concentration dropped. These counter-productive responses became the markers for the metabolic diseases sometimes seen in early lactating cows. Bradford and his team began to realize that rather than treating a nursing cow with an anti-inflammatory drug, it actually benefits from the inflammation in the transition from carrying a calf to providing it with milk. He said the mammary gland is turned on immediately following birth, and the demand for milk soars overnight. “Her demand for glucose and nutrients goes up two-fold,” he said.

“She can’t possibly crank up production that fast. She has to do other things to not run out. One of those things is for adipose tissue and muscle to use less glucose. I think this is a quick signal to get that (milk production) done. It’s quicker than other signals that would turn off glucose use in those tissues.” The biological responses at the onset of lactation are triggering a temporary state of insulin resistance akin to diabetes. It is an adaptive condition rather than a pathological one. Bradford said the big difference with diabetes is that in most animals it will resolve itself as their metabolism adapts to lactation. However, the issue with fatty liver is a more transitory byproduct. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

NEWS » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “In fatty liver we’re measuring triglyceride buildup in the liver, so then people make the assumption that it’s the triglycerides that cause the problem leading to fatty liver,” he said. “Well, someone with a mouse model about 10 years ago said if that’s true and we get rid of the gene necessary to make triglycerides, then the disease should not be a problem. They did that and the mice were horribly sick. So to my way of thinking, it’s the least bad option the cow has to deal with in the excessively high amount of fat coming into the liver. (However), in three percent or four percent of animals, it (can) go too far and she can’t cope with it. A problem with fatty liver is that we still don’t have any diagnostic other than to do a biopsy, which is invasive and time consuming to do properly.” A calf is exclusively dependent on its mother’s milk in the first two to three weeks of life. As a result, the mammary gland is selfish in its demand for nutrients and glucose to feed the baby.

Researchers were surprised to find that anti-inflammatory drugs didn’t slow the increase of liver fat in dairy cattle. | FILE PHOTO From an evolutionary point of view, there is huge pressure to make sure the young calf survives with enough milk to carry it before it starts eating grass. Therefore, other physiological

functions must compromise or cope with annoying side effects while the cow’s body makes the full adjustment to lactation. However, whether this is an evolved

bovine trait is still a mystery. “I can’t even say now that it’s a bovine characteristic,” said Bradford. “It could possibly be a byproduct of heavy selection for really high milk production. We have a proposal to look at this in different species to see whether there is evidence that it is a conserved trait or not. I couldn’t find any study in other species quite like this one where they measure the same things that we did. We really have no idea.” The research will likely prompt questions about diabetes in humans during pregnancy, but Bradford said there is a difference in humans based on the studies that have already been done. Insulin resistance in pregnant women tends to occur during pregnancy rather than during milk production, which is why there is greater reference to gestational diabetes rather than lactation diabetes. “I think, and it needs to be asked, that there is plenty of data showing that extreme gestational diabetes is a serious problem that needs to be addressed,” said Bradford. “However, this research might lead

us to more carefully think about mild gestational diabetes and maybe acknowledge that there is some potential benefit to that.” The results of Bradford’s research have triggered more hypotheses to be examined. As a result of the unique metabolic response they saw in the high milk volume response, the researchers plan to study whether different organ systems respond independently to the onset of lactation. They have proposed researching multiple species to look at muscle and adipose tissue insulin resistance at the beginning of lactation to see if the inflammation condition is more widespread. The goal is to better understand the immune system and the role of inflammation in metabolic function. They also plan more studies on the mammary gland, the influence of inflammation and the high volume of milk production during the entire lactation process. The research team’s findings were published in the American Journal of Physiology.

REGULATIONS | WATER PROTECTION

Farmers want fertilizer application deadline extended Late harvest | With a small window for applications, Keystone Agricultural Producers challenges provincial legislation BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A late harvest and wet conditions in the western half of Manitoba mean farmers will have a narrow window to apply fertilizer this year. As a result, Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney wants the province to extend or eliminate the Nov. 10 deadline for fertilizer applications. “I, on my farm, have been able to band anhydrous ammonia right until the end of November,” he said. Provincial regulations that took effect in 2011 ban fertilizer applica-

tion between Nov. 10 and April 10. The province established the deadlines, under Manitoba’s Water Protection Act, to prevent farmers spreading fertilizer on frozen ground. The fertilizer could wash away during spring runoff and end up in waterways and lakes, particularly Lake Winnipeg, which is overloaded with nutrients. Chorney said the regulation is unnecessary because farmers aren’t going to apply nutrients worth tens of thousands of dollars on frozen ground. “In my opinion, we don’t need deadlines. Farmers aren’t going to apply fertilizer or manure when it’s

impractical or unsafe to do,” he told a KAP meeting in Portage la Prairie. “You can’t incorporate fertilizer or manure into frozen ground. So why would you do it?” Chorney said Manitoba farmers plant 1.4 million acres of corn and soybeans a year, and they aren’t typically harvested until October. It means growers have limited time to fertilize fields before Nov. 10. “That’s a lot of acres of late crop,” he said. “It’s getting up there.” Dan Mazier, who farms near Brandon, said western Manitoba growers were still harvesting in the middle of October because the wet, cool spring

delayed seeding. As well, 50 to 75 millimetres of rain fell on the region in the second week of October and fields remain soft. “Not only can’t the guys get on there, it’s the supply companies,” said Mazier, who is a vice-president at KAP. “All of a sudden your two month window (for fertilizer application) goes down to a two week window.” If the province wants to regulate fertilizer application, the deadline should float based on conditions rather than be a fixed date, he added. The province waived the April 10 deadline in the spr ing of 2012 because snow had melted by the

Farmers were eager to go. “We had that early start to seeding in 2012 and they gave us an exemption that spring, so we applauded the government for being reactive to the weather conditions,” Chorney said. “It speaks to the fact that fixed dates don’t work well.” Gary Martens, a University of Manitoba plant science professor, said applying fall fertilizer too early can have environmental consequences because the nitrogen will convert from ammonium to nitrate If the soil is warm when fertilizer is injected.

LAW | CLASS ACTION SUIT

Judge reserves ruling on CWB lawsuit BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

It could be a month or more before prairie farmers suing the federal government over the end of the CWB single desk find out if their case can proceed. Federal Court of Canada judge Daniele Tremblay-Lamer reserved judgment Oct. 23 on a federal government motion that a $17 billion class action suit over the end of the CWB monopoly be dismissed. The class action suit alleges that the federal government confiscated assets and sales opportunities that farmers had built up for years when it unilaterally ended the single desk Aug. 1, 2012. Approximately 1,000 farmers have supported the case and a right to share any of the settlement if it goes in their favour. Fe deral government lawyers argued in an Ottawa courtroom that the lawsuit has “no reasonable prospect of succeeding at trial” and should be dismissed. They argued that the farmer suit “is rooted in an incorrect interpretation of a former provision of the Canadian Wheat Board Act” that a farmer vote was required before the monopoly could be ended. “This interpretation was specifically rejected by the Federal Court of Appeal,” said the federal brief. It argued that the powers and responsibilities of the CWB were set by acts of Parliament, and as a federal agency, it was not owned by its farmer customers. Winnipeg lawyer Anders Bruun, representing the farmers, said the judgment could take up to a month. If the judge decides the case should go to trial, he said the hearing may not be held until late next year or early 2015. Bruun said a key argument at the Oct. 23 hearing in defence of farmer claims for compensation was that the government and CWB deliberately under-estimated pool results for the 2011-12 crop year, the last year of the single desk, so that some of the profits could be transferred into the next year to cover “close down” costs.

Varroa mite control for bees remains years away RNA interference | Monsanto is likely to use technology on larger initiatives, says professor BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Beekeepers won’t have new technology to fight varroa mites and associated viruses anytime soon because Monsanto’s RNA interference technology is years away from commercialization, a company spokesperson said. Two years ago, Monsanto purchased Beeologics, an Israeli company specializing in RNA interference, which is a technique to shut down the expression of particular

genes in an organism. Beeologics was using RNAi to protect bees from viruses spread by varroa mites, including Israeli acute paralysis virus. Maureen Mazurek, Monsanto’s director of ag biologicals communications, said the company is focused on four categories of research related to biological technology: weed, insect and virus control and bee health. Monsanto has branded its RNAi based tools as BioDirect, but it will take time to commercialize the tech-

nology, Mazurek said. “What we anticipate, by the end of the decade, you should see some kind of product with BioDirect technology.” Monsanto has made several public commitments to bees over the last year. The company recently invested in a new coalition to improve honeybee health at the Clinton Global Initiative. Despite those public announcements, Monsanto will probably release other RNAi technologies before it introduces a product to combat bee viruses, said Leonard

Foster, a University of British Columbia biochemistry professor. Foster said investing millions of dollars in a novel technology for a relatively small industry such as bees doesn’t make sense. “I’m not sure I can think of a single pest control product that has been developed specifically for bees,” said Foster, who heads up a team studying RNAi and bee viruses. “To go through the whole process for a product that is first going to be introduced in bees is just not economic for any company.”

Foster and his team were working with Beeologics before Monsanto took over. At the time, the UBC researchers were planning to test Beeologics RNAi technology in the field to assess if it could effectively protect bee hives from viruses. Foster said the subsequent collaboration with Monsanto came to a halt six months ago. “The intellectual property they got when they bought Beeologics was not so much specific to bees.” SEE BEES, PAGE 33

Technology could be used as non-chemical control for bee pests

Research promising, but needs work

He said Beeologics had developed a process to scale up and reduce the cost of synthesizing double stranded RNA, which represents the commercial product in RNAi technology. “They (Beeologics) were feeling that a beekeeper could probably treat a colony in the range of less than $20 per colony,” Foster said. “To me, that was the real value in Beeologics. It had nothing to do with bees.” Foster said Monsanto is probably still committed to bee health and developing RNAi technology for bees because the company hired Jerry Hayes, a respected bee industry leader, to lead its efforts. “If they really were moving totally away from bees, there would be no reason to keep him (Hayes) around,” Foster said. There is an opening for other companies to develop RNAi technology for bees if Monsanto is indeed pursuing more lucrative RNAi research, he added. Hayes said the company is working on its bee health objectives and is collaborating with Canadian experts, such as Stephen Pernal of Agriculture Canada. Hayes said Monsanto is developing protocols to test RNAi technology in bee colonies. “This past year, that’s what we worked on, probably 75 percent of

the time, is devising a robust field trial that would quantify what honeybee field health really is,” said Hayes, former chief of the apiary inspection for Florida’s agriculture department. “Our field trials were based on developing this new … protocol so we can meet the robust standards of the government agencies (for registration).” On the Beeologics website, Hayes sa i d h e’s e x c i te d t o w o rk w i t h Monsanto to “bring non-chemical varroa control and the control of the varroa/virus complex to a suffering and challenged industry.” Hayes said apiarists are eager to use RNAi technology to protect their bees. “Chemicals in any system don’t work forever because the organism develops resistance,” he said. “Putting pesticides in a honeybee colony is just crazy, so using nature’s system (RNAi) to increase immune systems is fantastic.”

As its name indicates, deformed wing virus causes shrunken or crumpled wings in bees, which often die from the disease when they become adults. Varroa mites transmit the virus to bees, and killing varroa with a miticide remains the best way to control the virus. However, University of Manitoba entomologists published a paper last year on an alternative method to control deformed wing virus using a technique called RNA interference. In cellular biology, RNA acts as a messenger carrying information from DNA to form the necessary proteins of life. RNA interference is a technique to silence the messenger and prevent the expression of a particular gene. Humans and other animals have complex immune systems to fight off viruses, but plants, fungi and invertebrates such as bees use RNAi to protect themselves against viruses. The U of M researchers replicated RNA from the deformed wing virus, converted it to double stranded RNA and fed it to bees in the form of a syrup. The double stranded RNA silences the invading deformed wing virus by blocking expression of the virus genes. Adult bees that were fed the treat-

Research from the University of Manitoba may offer the bee industry relief from deformed wing virus. | FILE PHOTO ment had lower levels of deformed wing virus and fewer incidences of deformed wings than a control group. “Deformed wing virus is a common virus affecting bees, which is linked with severe winter mortality in bee colonies,” said Suresh Desai, a researcher who works with Rob Currie, a U of M entomologist. “Having a means to prevent or suppress the expression of the virus would be a valuable addition to our bee health toolkit.” Currie said the tests were done on

caged bees, and they must now show that it works at a hive scale. “You need to prove it has a really effective role in pest control, so there’s a lot of further study that needs to be done before you’d want to invest a huge amount of money,” he said. “That’s what we hope to be working on.” The researchers will have to partner with industry to commercialize a product if they establish that RNAi is an effective tool to fight deformed wing virus. Finding an investor could prove challenging because the bee industry is tiny compared to other sectors of agriculture. Therefore, it’s hard to convince companies to invest in a product that will be used solely on bees. However, Currie said a biotech company may want to invest to protect other parts of its business. “A lot of the chemical companies that are producing hybrid seed have a huge stake in pollination,” he said. “If they don’t have (bees) they’re in big trouble, so they might have to take it on and do it that way, rather than thinking of it as a way of getting sales (from the bee industry).” Saskatchewan Beekeepers Association president Corey Bacon said apiarists need this kind of technology because only one remaining miticide is effective on varroa mites.

DEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONS | ELECTIONS

Wheat, barley commission candidates unveiled Interest levels high | Familiar faces in the running for director spots on two new Saskatchewan farm group boards BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Seventeen farmers have thrown their hats in the ring for the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission’s inaugural director elections, which will take place next month. The SWDC announced Oct. 23 that 17 nominations have been received to fill seven seats at the wheat commission’s board table. The Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission, which will also

hold director elections next month, received nine nominations to fill six seats. Tom Steve, general manager for the two organizations, said organizers are pleased at the high level of interest in the new commissions. “I think any time you establish new entities, there’s always a question of what the level of interest will be,” Steve said. “I think we anticipated that we would have a number of candidates come forward, but it’s probably fair to say that this exceeded our expecta-

tions. We’re just happy that there’s a level of engagement amongst Saskatchewan growers for these commissions and for the directorships.… “It bodes well for the future that producers are prepared to devote their time to helping us build a platfor m for grow th in the cereals industry.” Elections for both boards will be conducted by mail-in ballot with voter packages distributed to all registered wheat and barley producers in early November. Saskatoon-based Levy Central will

act as the returning officer. Ballots must be received by Levy Central no later than Nov. 29. Steve said 25,000 farmers will be eligible to cast votes in the wheat commission election while 10,000 producers will be eligible to vote in the barley election. Saskatchewan producers who cast a vote will see familiar names on the ballots. Nominees at the wheat commission include Rod Flaman, an Edenwold farmer who served as a director at CWB; Bill Gehl, chair of the Canadian

NexeraTM canola hybrids equal healthier proﬁts. In 2013, Nexera is expected to return over $115 million over and above the value of commodity canola. Since its launch, Nexera has returned over $426 million to Western Canadian growers – with more than half of that coming in the last three years. “The higher returns are being driven by a number of factors,” says Kerry Freeman, Nexera Product Manager, Dow AgroSciences. “Superior canola yields combined with the grower premiums and incentives associated with Nexera canola are increasing returns. Strong market demand by new and growing end-use customers for heart-healthy Omega-9 Oil is also a big factor.” Freeman also points out that the heart-healthy Omega-9 Oil made from high-yielding Nexera canola is the new standard in today’s food industry. And the higher-value, end-use product translates into higher proﬁts at the farm level.

Higher profitability starts with the proven performance of Nexera canola hybrids New Nexera canola hybrids increase the profitability equation, and the number of Nexera canola acres grown continues to increase year over year. The Nexera canola hybrid Roundup Ready® Series and Clearfield® Series each offer two high-performing hybrids that are changing canola. Their success is driven by a number of factors, including: • next-generation hybrid technology • industry-leading hybrid yields • early- and late-season hybrid vigour • excellent standability • superior disease resistance

Highest in grower satisfaction, too These new hybrids are ideal for growers in the mid and long-season zones who are looking for hybrid yields and higher profit. They offer yield potential equivalent to any competitive canola hybrid, and result in profitability that’s higher than other canola brands. In fact, Nexera RR Hybrids rank highest in grower satisfaction, according to Canola Evaluation and Intentions, Canada, 2012, Stratus Agri-Marketing, Inc. The option of the Roundup Ready or Clearfield weed control system allows Nexera canola growers to choose the system that works best for them. Either way, growers get the advantages of convenience, flexibility and superior weed control from a production system designed to help them make the most of the Nexera canola profit opportunity.

BATS | BENEFICIAL MAMMALS

Bats fail to live up to scary tradition Helpful insect eaters | Little brown bats can eat their body weight in insects every night BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Bram Stoker has a lot to answer for when it comes to the reputation of bats as scary beasts associated with Halloween spooks. The author of Dracula was the first to include bats in his description of Transylvanian legend, and the flying mammals have been damned by association ever since. That is gradually changing, said University of Regina biology department head Mark Brigham. “It’s really neat, in 23 years in Regina now, to see how kids’ attitudes have changed,” said the biologist with a keen interest in bats. “They won’t fly in your hair. They’re not blind. They don’t suck your blood. They’re not all vampires. Etcetera, etcetera. So it’s really neat to see that happen and I’m very pleased about that. “I don’t think bats are perceived to be as scary as they used to be.” Lisa Wilkinson, species-at-risk biologist with Alberta’s environment and sustainable resources department, concurs on the matter of attitudinal change. “I just gave a presentation to a Grade 1 class and they all thought (bats) were very cute.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

NEWS » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE There are nine species of bats in Canada and more than 1,000 in the world. All Canadian species are nocturnal insect eaters and have no reason to interact with humans, other than to use barns, sheds and trees as their homes. Little brown bats, the most common species in parts of Alberta, can eat their body weight in insects every night, or up to 600 every hour. “Imagine if you, as a human, could consume that much food in one night,” mused Jessica Deacon-Rogers, a technician with the Lethbridgebased Helen Schuler Nature Centre. Navigating by sonar, bats are able to fly erratically in their pursuit of insects. That might be the cause of some human fears. “There’s a myth about them getting caught in your hair,” said Wilkinson. “The only reason I can think that started is because they might fly around your head eating mosquitoes. They certainly don’t want to land on you.” Bats can carry rabies, although that is rare on the Prairies. Rabid or not, both Wilkinson and Brigham cautioned against picking up bats seen on the ground because they will bite if they feel threatened. The real threats to bats in modern times come from white nose syndrome, a fatal fungal infection, and from the proliferation of wind turbines. White nose syndrome was accidentally introduced from Europe to a cave near Albany, New York. Since then it has steadily spread in the United States and into parts of Ontario.

Brigham said he expects white nose syndrome to attack Manitoba bats this winter or next, and continue its move westward. “It kills somewhere between 95 and 99 percent of the individuals it affects. There’s no reason to think we’re not going to get this and we are going to notice a huge drop in the number of bats around. And there’s nothing that anyone can do about this.” In fact, he thinks the little brown bat could eventually disappear as a result. As for wind turbines, they are primarily a threat for the three migratory species of bats — the hoary, silverhaired and red — and then only at times of low wind speed, at dusk, during certain times of year. “In some areas, especially closer to the foothills, there are very high mortalities of bats,” said Wilkinson. She said biologists are working with wind turbine companies to reduce bat deaths. Turning off the turbines for a few hours at dusk during the six-week migration period in fall could save many bat lives. Brigham said biologists aren’t sure what attracts bats to turbines. It may be an affinity for tall structures and be related to mating instincts. Research indicates its not collision that kills bats, but rather the drastic change in air pressure created by the turbine blades. So it appears bats have more to fear from human activity that humans do from bat activity. “I think people are afraid (of bats) because they’re out at night, we don’t see them well, they flit around in sort of a strange way and we don’t really understand them,” said Brigham.

There’s just no easy way to get rid of wood. “We have not found so far a good replacement for ties,” Normand Pellerin, CN’s vice-president for sustainability, told the Fields on Wheels conference Oct. 22. “It cannot, at this stage, except in very specific conditions, be replaced by plastic or concrete. It has to stay as wood because it gives us the flexibil-

Scientists and manufacturers like w o rk i n g w i t h s y nt h e t i c f i b re s because of their consistency. That’s something natural fibres don’t offer, which is why they have proven so hard to integrate into industrial products, say French developers of flax-based industrial products. However, analysis and lots of data can minimize the natural unevenness of crop-based fibres and make them easier to deal with. “We know just a little about the influence of the structure, the composition and the morphology of the fibres on mechanical behavior,” said Mousse Gomina, a research scientist specializing in natural materials with the CRISMAT laboratory in Caen, France, who spoke at the recent BioFibe 2013 conference in Winnipeg. “All the concepts developed for synthetic fibres are now applied to plant fibres, but I think that is not the good one. We need to develop new concepts for these fibres.” BioFibe 2013 brought together entrepreneurs, financiers, researchers, government agencies, lawyers and farmers hoping to further exploit the potential of natural fibres such as flax and wheat straw. There has been some development of the biofibre industry, but it is far less than enthusiasts have been hoping for since at least the mid-1990s. Most biofibre applications are still being developed or are on the drawing board, although conference participants heard from a successful prairie wheat straw-based paper maker and got to see material providers showcase their products. The potential of fibres such as flax and wheat have been noted for decades. Flax fibres have been used for centuries in textile and other light uses in Europe. However, getting natural fibres into higher-tech products has been hard because of the technical challenges that have faced researchers such as Gomina and colleague Davy Duriatti of France’s Depestele, a flax fibre products company. “These fibres are not the same,” said Duriatti, summing up the huge range of variations between one natural fibre and another in the same crop and within single strands. Gomina said carbon and glass fibres are easy to use for industrial products because there are few unknowns. However, plant fibres vary in thickness, can be affected by pathogens and pests and are structurally different at different places

along the plant stem. “These problems are now preventing the utilization of these fibres for technical applications,” said Gomina. For example, when fibres vary in thickness by more than 100 percent, “which diameter can you use to derive the strength?” However, research is allowing developers to compensate for natural variability. As well, Duriatti said

extensive crop production analysis is revealing much about how agronomic practices affect the final fibre product. If crop production methods can be customized to encourage consistency, “that’s very important to reduce this variability.” Duriatti said there is great interest from the automotive and aerospace industries for using biofibres in the composite materials that they rely on to lighten cars and aircraft.

ity we need.” CN operates lines with many millions of wooden ties and has to replace 1.2 million of them every year. It’s the equivalent of cutting down 600,000 trees because one tree produces about two ties. It’s a big environmental impact, but CN is attempting to eliminate any negative impact by planting as many trees as it chops down. The company planted 200,000 trees this year and hopes to plant 400,000 next year and 600,000 in 2015. “We will have a zero footprint,” said Pellerin. “Every time we replace a tie we want to plant a tree.”

The dragline system of pumping liquid slurry to the field for injection may be efficient, but it’s also dangerous if that big pressurized hose starts whipping around, warns expert Ben Puck. | MARY PUCK PHOTOS MANURE | SAFETY

Dragline dangers: are you in the kill zone? High pressure, high volume | Slurry hose systems have their advantages along with hidden risks BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

GUELPH, Ont. — Dragline hose systems that feed slurry injection implements can carry 2,500 gallons per minute at 130 pounds per sq. inch, powered by 550 horsepower engines. It’s a potentially fatal combination, said Ben Puck of Puck Custom Enterprises in Iowa. Each dragline setup has a main pump at the slurry source and up to a half-dozen booster pumps to ensure the liquid is delivered at the correct volume and pressure to the injection equipment working in the field. The hoses must be purged of fluid and bled of air pressure when it’s time to trouble shoot a problem, change the setup or move to a different farm, he told the annual North American Manure Expo. “Cleaning lines, you’re using a high volume of high pressure air to shoot the pig (cleaning plug) down the line,” said Puck, who stressed that people are mistaken if they believe they can manipulate a highly pressurized hose without tragic repercussions. “The end of the hose weighs only six or seven pounds, but the zone it whips around in is a 50 foot radius. People in this business call it the kill zone. If you’re within that 50 foot radius when the hose goes wild, it can run you down and kill you. Yes, it happens.” Suddenly, the seemingly simple task of incorporating liquid livestock manure into a farm field took on a serious tone. The chatter went silent

LEFT: Catastrophic cavitation, the sudden formation and collapse of low-pressure bubbles, occurs when the suction side of the pump tries to pull more slurry than the inlet pipe allows. Liquid in the pipe boils and expands at a ratio of 1,400:1, creating a dangerous explosion. Nanoseconds later, a violent implosion occurs, which is strong enough to suck the metal off the inner surfaces of the pump. The results can be fatal in pumps in the range of 550 horsepower. RIGHT: A big round sponge known as a pig is blown down the lines when it’s time to shut down for service or moving. If sand builds up in front of the pig, it will jam and create a dangerous pressure buildup on the pump side, behind the pig. in the tent at the Guelph exhibition grounds. Puck told the 400 farmers that the danger is obvious, but people can’t seem to comprehend the gravity of it. He said an excessive pressure buildup while cleaning even a short hose means a potentially fatal situation is developing, caused by a buildup of sand or debris in front of the pig. The pressure can get out of hand before the operator notices it. “Pressure buildup means the pig is jammed,” he said. “Do not add more pressure. You should bleed off all the pressure at the pit pump very slowly. But remember that in doing this, you’ve put

yourself in another potentially fatal situation. You often get a slurry buildup behind the pig, on the pump side of the pig. While you’re bleeding off pressure at the pump, you’ll see slurry flowing back into the pit. Your reaction is to think that’s a good thing. But that scenario can be a killer. It tricks you into thinking there’s no air left in the line. Not true. Once that heavy liquid flows out, you get an abrupt acceleration of the captive air. The hose gets to be very, very violent, whipping around that kill zone, smashing anything it can touch.” Puck said there are three things the operator can do: know the boundar-

ies of the kill zone at all times and stay out of the zone when high pressure situations develop or things start to go wrong. “Third, you can safely run the whole system by remote control wireless that lets you monitor everything and make adjustments from a safe distance.” Puck sells a remote system called the MobileStar Wireless Pump Control, which lets the farmer or custom slurry injection manager monitor every motor, pump, hydraulic cylinder and gate in each setup. On small setups, it means the operator in the tractor might be the only person needed to keep things

flowing. On larger setups, it lets the person in charge do a better job of directing hired help. The in-cab monitor provides live numbers on all engine-pump units, including r.p.m., p.s.i. and g.p.m. The information helps operators fine tune the speed of each engine and flow of each pump for greater system efficiency. They can also open and close gates as needed and start or stop engines. More importantly, the operator can spot potential hazards before they become problems. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

MANURE | SAFETY

Farmers must be aware of toxic gas Breathing hydrogen sulfide | Safety is a priority when working near manure pits BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

GUELPH, Ont. — A farmer joked out loud that surface crusts on his manure pits were so thick he could drive across with his skid steer loader. A few people in the group laughed along politely, but many others on the tour bus slowly shook their heads in silence. The brief incident, which occurred during the annual Manure Expo in Guelph, demonstrated that attitudes toward manure gases may be more deadly than the gases themselves. It’s not known if the farmer really does drive his skid steer loader over the crust. In all likelihood he doesn’t, because if he had tried it, he wouldn’t have been around to brag about it.

However, even if he just walks on the surface crust, as many farmers do, he exposes himself to the two big manure pit killers: drowning in slurry and asphyxiation from toxic gases. The three main gases are hydrogen sulfide, methane and carbon dioxide. The basic safety recommendations for working around manure pits have been around for decades and reflect common sense: • Never walk on the crusted surface • Have a self-contained air supply • Make sure the pit has good ventilation • Never enter a pit unless a stand-by helper is available who is fully equipped to perform a rescue without entering the pit themselves • Always wear a rescue harness

attached to a mechanical lift so the helper can perform the rescue without further risk The reason for the stand-by helper with a mechanical lift has been obvious to rescue workers for a long time. When the safety helper sees that the pit worker is in trouble, the automatic reaction is to get in the pit to help. One fatality quickly becomes two fatalities and then two becomes three. According to the July-August issue of Manure Manager magazine, there have been cases where five family members died trying to save the family member who went down into the pit just before them. The American National Standards Institute introduced ANSI S607 this summer in an attempt to reduce the number of manure pit deaths.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “Before, we needed one person to be present at each and every pump, just watching the gauges and checking things. Now, the operator can do all that from the cab,” he said. “It’s made this business a lot more efficient. As things evolve, we need that better efficiency because we cover more fields and we’re constantly further from the slurr y source.” The MobileStar system sends and receives internet signals and requires a data plan from a wireless carrier. Explosive problem Violent explosions can be caused by pump cavitation, another potentially fatal scenario also caused by careless operation of the equipment or by incorrectly sizing components. Cavitation occurs with the sudden formation and collapse of low-pressure bubbles. “When you get a cavitation explosion, it’s immediately followed by a tremendous implosion,” Puck said. The implosion pulls such a strong

If you break the laws of physics, bad things happen. Despite what people think, water is not a very stable compound, and that’s why it’s dangerous. Water wants

to exist in pressure that’s very close to normal atmospheric pressure to remain fluid. In a vacuum, it wants to boil and separate into two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. The same thing happens if you create a vacuum on the inlet side of your pump.

Safety experts say that even one quick whiff of hydrogen sulfide can knock a person over, which is why a safety harness attached to a mechanical lift manned by a safety buddy is recommended for anyone working around a slurry pit. | RON LYSENG PHOTO

Puck said allowing liquid slurry to drop much below 14.7 p.s.i. 34 feet of mercury or one bar is messing with the laws of physics. A slurry pump pulling liquid from a pit can create a strong vacuum, especially if there’s 550 horsepower pulling that vacuum. As pressure within the inlet side drops, water in the slurry starts to boil and vaporize, or separate into hydrogen and oxygen particles. “Here’s your initial explosion,” he said. “Water vaporizes and expands at a ratio of 1,400:1. So one cubic foot of water suddenly requires 1,400 cubic feet of space. But of course, that space isn’t available within the confines of the inlet of your pump. What happens next is pure physics. The slurry expands and blows a hose or some other component in the system. And it’s a very violent explosion. Next comes the implosion. “The very moment that the explosion brings the vapours back to 14.7 p.s.i., they contract back into liquid at the same 1,400:1 ratio. That’s when you experience such a force that it really does cause the metal to

sheer off from the surfaces inside the pump.” Puck said there’s a high risk of a hard left-right knockout explosionimplosion if the inlet side in the liquid pit lacks the capacity to keep up with the pump. He said this is why the manufacturers’ recommendations should always be followed when sizing components and setting up systems. “It’s all been designed and tested by engineers so it won’t boil the slurry,” he said. “It’s all in the guidelines from the manufacturers, so there’s no reason to risk an accident because you installed the wrong pump or components. Everybody in this tent has had the experience of pulling apart a faulty pump and seeing that metal is actually missing from the inside. The first reaction is always to blame the manufacturer. But when you see that metal has been pulled off and blown away down the line, that tells you you’ve been close to a big mishap.” For more information, contact Puck at 712-653-3045 or visit www. puckenterprises.com.

no turning back when he came up with the idea of replicating his real AS710 four years ago,. “This project started out with just a dremel rotary tool and then got a little out of hand. Now I have a vertical mill, a lathe and a basement full of other machine tools,” the Indiana farmer said. “Most everything is scratch built by me. A good portion of the sprayer is made of brass. The booms, tank cradle, cab, front axle assembly, things like that. I built it pretty much just for the heck of it. The parts are almost an exact replica of the real thing. I have the big one (Apache) out in the yard, so it was easy to go out and measure something and then come back to the basement and bring it down to scale.” The controls are the same as those used on remote control model aircraft, with the same compact 12-volt battery used to run the hydraulic pump and spray pump. The battery-powered motors currently used in radio controlled air-

craft run at a much higher r.p.m. than Rowings needed for a model field sprayer, so he inserted a speed control manager between the battery and motor. The finished product weighs 25 pounds and has a 7.5 foot wing spread when the booms are fully extended. “I built all 64 little brass nozzles myself,” he said. “The biggest part of the hole in each nozzle is 0.008 of an inch. That’s the

biggest hole.

Timing key with slow release nitrogen

Major U.S. farm shows join forces

ESN-coated urea | There’s still time for applications, although official warns against broadcasting BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Wheat fields with seed-placed Environmentally Smart Nitrogencoated urea have yielded up to seven bushels per acre more than fields with conventional urea methods. The field scale tests were conducted in conjunction with provincial agriculture departments, universities and research centres in all three prairie provinces, said Alan Blaylock, agronomy manager with Agrium Advanced Technologies. Although it’s too late to apply ESN to winter wheat, Blaylock said there’s still plenty of time to bring all the other fields up to their full nitrogen complement by drilling in ESN. “Many growers now use a one-pass single knife system to put down their entire nitrogen load with ESN urea, along with P (phosphorus) and K (potassium) and their seed,” said Blaylock. “It doesn’t get much more efficient than that. If you’re just pulling a single knife through the soil, you’re saving a lot of fuel.” Manitoba researchers have recently found that controlled release urea is only financially advantageous in Western Canada when used for specific applications such as in-row, single chute seeding or high-rate side

ESN benefits are found in seed row or banded applications. | banding, or in high moisture soils. Winter wheat crops are now growing, but Blaylock urged growers to resist the temptation to broadcast urea, ESN coated or non-coated. A warm spell in late fall or early winter is always a possibility, he added, which won’t be a problem if ESN is already buried in the soil.

“But if it’s on the surface and there’s a series of warm sunny days, then the soil will warm up and the product will start to release. That’s why we tell growers to avoid fall broadcast,” he said. “Farmers often ask at what temperature ESN starts to release, but it’s not that simple. ESN isn’t like a light

switch that’s either off or on. It’s more like a dimmer switch that goes off and on gradually in small increments. If you get a few days of 5 C, then the release is very slow, and very little is released. It’s really a non-issue as long as the ESN is in the ground and the soil temperature remains colder than 50 F (10 C).” Blaylock said corn growers in particular can take advantage of the technology because they put so much more nitrogen into the ground. “Growers in the northern corn belt can have a complete fertilization by blending ESN with their phosphorous and potassium,” he said. “For farmers who don’t want to handle anhydrous ammonia, ESN can perform as well or better than anhydrous.” Blaylock said the obvious benefit for any type of field crop is the fact that ESN eliminates the hassle of spring fertilizer operations, thus allowing farmers to concentrate on spring weed management and seeding. “It protects N (nitrogen) from leaching, volatilization and denitrification .... without the worry of N loss through the winter,” he said. “ESN is like a small storage facility for N, protecting it until the appropriate time for the crop to use it. The technology regulates the release of N at the proper time.”

Manitoba farmers want gov’t to make clubroot control a priority Grower wants to guard against the disease’s spread by forcing oil companies to wash vehicles BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Now that clubroot is officially in Manitoba, a farmer in the province’s oil patch wants petroleum industry companies to wash vehicles before entering farmland. Carlyle Jorgensen, who farms near Cromer, said cleaning trucks and other equipment is a standard protocol in Alberta and should become customary in Manitoba. “In our area of our province, an existing oil and gas facility could see traffic in the year of up to 400 (visits). A new exploration could see in the thousands in a year,” Jorgensen recently told a Keystone Agricultural Producers meeting in Portage la Prairie. “Alberta has had clubroot for decades and when I worked out there … it was mandatory that (trucks) had to be cleaned,” he said. “ The pipeline industr y is the same…. They stop at the edge of a quarter, the equipment is washed (before) they move to the next quarter.” Manitoba Agriculture officially confirmed in September what had been suspected for months: clubroot is in Manitoba. Provincial plant pathologists had detected clubroot galls on two canola fields this summer.

Manitoba Agriculture said cleaning equipment before entering farmland is a key practice to limit the spread of the soil-borne disease. Landowners can request a “clean before enter” provision when they sign a lease, but Jorgensen said farmers are out of luck if the company refuses. He said companies can ask the provincial government for right of entry if they fail to agree on a lease and the language in that boilerplate document doesn’t mention equipment cleaning. Chuck Fossay, who farms near Starbuck, Man., said farmers should ask all companies, including petroleum firms, crop input suppliers and utilities, to clean equipment. “If you hire a custom sprayer or custom fertilizer applicator, you say before you come on my field, ‘I expect that machine to be washed,’ ” he said. Manitoba Agr iculture hasn’t released the locations of fields with confirmed cases of clubroot. Fossay said it’s unnecessary for the government to do so because cleaning trucks and heavy equipment should be a normal biosecurity protocol to protect farmland from weed seeds, insects and plant disease.

Sask. hog producers continue to lobby for hedging program Margin money | Province pledges to introduce price insurance BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan hog producers say a hedging program would work better for them than the price insurance they will be offered early next year, says the general manager of SaskPork. Neil Ketilson said the Canadian Pork Council has been asking for a hedging program for at least a year. “The federal government, to their credit, they’ve actually commissioned an actuarial study to review it and try to quantify the risk and determine whether or not it was a feasible option,” he said in an interview. That report hasn’t yet been released. Last week the Saskatchewan government in the speech from the throne to open the legislative session announced that a western Canadian price insurance program would soon be available for cattle and hog producers in all four western provinces. Cattle producers have for years been asking for price insurance. Alberta in 2009 piloted a program for both cattle and hogs and it is

“But that doesn’t seem to be on the table. It’s been mentioned but there’s not a lot of traction.” According to Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart, the proposal currently in the works calls for governments to cost-share the administration of the program but not premiums. Ketilson said SaskPork supports price insurance as an option and one of many risk management tools that should be available. However, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec all favour hedging programs. The latter two provinces have programs but no government support is involved. “What we’re trying to do is ask the governments to facilitate the access to margin money so that farmers can hedge their product and not have to put up margin money when it’s called for on a continual basis,” Ketilson explained. “That’s a tool that we think would be more applicable to our industry and would get greater uptake.” This type of program has little risk but allows many people to participate, he said.

expected the new voluntary program will be virtually the same as what that province offers. Ketilson said price insurance is essentially an options program and useful in some situations. “What we understand … the uptake by the hog industry in Alberta was not very big, mostly because the cost of the option was deemed to be too great,” he said. The program provides policies from two to 10 months, with a range of insured prices corresponding to a premium per 100 kilograms. The insured prices start at 95 percent of the forecasted price for a particular month. Payments are made when the price in the month the policy expires is less than the insured price. But the premium cost could be as much as $10 per 100 kg, according to examples on the program website. Ketilson said producers didn’t see much upside to the program. “If, for example, the government was interested in cost-sharing that premium as they do crop insurance for grain farmers we’d be very interested,” he said.

Canadian cattle get high praise Western Dairy Showcase | Large dairy producer West Coast Holsteins brings grand champion BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — After judging dairy cattle all over the world, Donald Dubois has decided the homegrown product is best. “We have the best cattle in the world,” he said after the Westerner Dairy Showcase held in Red Deer Oct. 24-26. “We have so many breeders and exhibitors in Canada who have so much patience. That is why Canadian cattle are so good.” Dubois, who has also travelled extensively marketing semen as a district sales manager with Alta Genetics in Quebec, said there are different markets for dairy genetics. Commercial producers want healthy, functional cattle with high milk production while breeders and exhibitors are looking for a more showy animal. “They will pay a little more attention to style,” he said. Dubois has been a certified judge with Holstein Canada since 1997 and takes time to teach young people about the dairy business. He praised 4-H, where young people can learn about dairy cows and become interested in farming. However, the children need to get the farming bug early. “They need to be taught when they are about 10 to 14 years old. If you wait too long, they’ll do something different,” he said.

This year’s show was larger than normal and drew exhibitors from all four western provinces. The grand champion banner went to West Coast Holsteins of Chilliwack, B.C. Its champion was a three-year-old named BKB Goldwyn Amanda, which it bought for $87,000 at Morsan Farms’ dairy sale in Ponoka, Alta., in September. Amanda was also shown at the recent World Dairy Expo and won the reserve intermediate championship. West Coast Holsteins holds Canada’s largest milk quota at 3,800 head, said farm manager Joe Hoffman. The farm’s main focus is developing and showing high end Holsteins. It keeps a show string of 20, which is expanding to 28 with a plan to have an equal number of high end red and black cows. “Our ultimate goal is that our reds compete at the same level as the blacks,” he said. Ken and Jeff Kooyman officially developed the farm in 2010. Other champions at this year’s show included: • Reserve grand champion Holstein, Wendon Holsteins, Innisfail, Alta., and Zimmer Holsteins, Daysland, Alta.; honourable mention, Crestomere Holsteins, Ponoka, Alta. • Senior champion Holstein, Crestomere Holsteins, reserve senior champion, Wendon Holsteins; honourable mention, Fred Fornwald and Sons Farms Ltd., Carlyle, Sask.

BSE RECOVERY | LESSONS LEARNED

Post-BSE plan for more slaughter, exports failed to achieve goals BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Losses to Canadian livestock industry from BSE from 2003-07: $4.2 billion. Payments through various programs designed to compensate for losses: $4.3 billion. The result? “It was a wash,” said Danny LeRoy, chair of the University of Lethbridge’s economics department. He told an Oct. 25 Lethbridge symposium that federal intentions during the crisis to reposition the industry, increase domestic slaughter and diversify export markets have not come to fruition 10 years after the

discovery of BSE in Canada. Domestic slaughter capacity is 63,120 head per week, down from 65,890 head 10 years ago, even though the cattle industry has undergone major change and is about 20 percent smaller. As well, the United States remains the biggest export market for Canadian cattle and beef, despite a stronger dollar relative to 10 years ago and the pressures exerted by country-oforigin labelling. “The bulk of the revenues earned from exports come from satisfying markets in the United States. Markets elsewhere, not so much,” said LeRoy. The BSE crisis exposed the vulnerability of Canada’s livestock sector

when international borders closed to Canadian product, and LeRoy said that vulnerability remains. In 2002, farm cash receipts from cattle and calves exceeded $8 billion and comprised 21 percent of total national farm cash receipts. That value encouraged federal and provincial governments to devise assistance programs for the industry, the bulk of them designed as shortterm fixes. “Most policy makers and industry representatives believed the problem would be temporary and the idea was to avoid the adjustments that would have been necessary to the new economic circumstances, mostly using taxpayer transfers,” he said.

Programs included: • Short-term relief grants for packing plants. • Assistance to those with beef stranded in foreign markets. • Price support for mature cattle. • Higher loan limits for producers. • Slaughter delays through set-aside programs. • Expanded BSE testing. • Subsidies to expand domestic slaughter capacity. • Plans to find new uses for beef. • Assistance to processors who lost markets. • Reduced feed costs for ruminants other than cattle. • Programs to increase sales in existing markets.

“If you and I and the group of us in this room had to come up with some short-term fixes for a problem that we thought was going to go away in a few weeks time, you’d be hard pressed to come up with a more exhaustive list than this,” said LeRoy. Among the lessons learned was that intervention in the free interplay of buyers and sellers can have undesirable outcomes, he added. Border closures resulted in lower output in Canada, fewer goods, higher costs, lower profits, less saving and less wealth. “The other thing we learned is that economic nationalism can be a nasty thing,” he said. “It can be used in a discretionary way, an arbitrary way.”

RESEARCH | BARBER POLE WORM GENOME

Worm genome info may help tackle parasite resistance Roundworms feed on animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blood and can be fatal BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The mysteries of the worm genome have been unravelled. John Gilleard and James Wasmuth from the University of Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faculty of veterinary medicine are part of an international team that sequenced the genome of the haemonchus contortus, commonly known as the barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pole worm because of the pink spiral gut inside its body. It is found most often in sheep and sometimes cattle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Globally, it is the most important parasite of sheep,â&#x20AC;? said Gilleard. It is closely related to the nematodes found in the gastrointestinal tracts of livestock, which makes it a good model for learning more about them at the molecular level. It can also help scientists figure out why parasites are showing resistance against the three classes of drugs that can control them. However, the work will take time

because the genome is complex and there is considerable variability among the species. It has 300 million base pairs, making it a tenth the size of the human genome. Gilleard started the work in the United Kingdom and collaborated with colleagues at universities in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Cambridge. He continued the work when he joined the vet faculty in Calgary five years ago. This worm lives in the abomasum, the fourth stomach of ruminants. The larvae are picked up in the pasture by grazing animals. The larvae turns into a worm with piercing mouth parts that feeds on blood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you get tens of thousands of worms feeding on blood, clearly that causes blood loss and anemia,â&#x20AC;? Gilleard said. An infestation of 10,000 worms can take a half pint of blood per day, which can eventually kill a small animal. A producer is unlikely to see the

worms in an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feces because they are small and hair like. Scientists want to look at more samples, but producers who suspect problems with parasites should first contact their veterinarians. Agriculture Canada scientist Doug Colwell of Lethbridge said livestock parasites are everywhere. He and his colleagues have recently completed a study on prevalence across Western Canada that will be published soon. They know haemonchus is in Alberta cattle. Gilleardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work will eventually allow parasitologists to identify the species and the amount of nematodes in fecal samples. They already know an animal can carry four to eight species at

one time because each worm lives in a different part of the gut. Large infestations can affect the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall condition with anemia, lethargy and weight loss. Colwell is looking for antibodies against the worms rather than identifying the specific types. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can find antibodies in every calf that comes off pasture in the fall,â&#x20AC;? he said. Researchers know that all livestock are exposed to worms, but infestations vary by location depending on local temperatures and moisture conditions. Southeastern Alberta has fewer worms than the wetter central part of the province. The Peace district also has low prevalence. Counting eggs does not provide precise information because the eggs are not evenly distributed through the gut nor shed every day. Researchers also know parasiticide resistance problems are showing up on the Prairies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is getting to be convincing evidence that some of the really good dewormers that worked really well 15 years ago are not working as well now so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kill as many of the worms,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem of resistance to drugs by nematodes is very common in other places.â&#x20AC;?

ACUTE BOVINE PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA | DISEASE ASSOCIATED WITH LUSH PASTURES

Fog fever is related to nutrition, not weather conditions ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

og fever is one of the common names for a specific pneumonia of adult cattle, which is scientifically known as acute bovine pulmonary emphysema. A related condition occurs in feedlot cattle and is usually referred to as acute interstitial pneumonia. Fog fever was first described as a disease of grazing cattle more than 200 years ago in Europe. Its occurrence was associated with the grazing of “fog lands,” which are pastures that have lush new growth after being cut for haylage or silage. There is actually no link between the occurrence of this particular pneumonia and any atmospheric condition, such as fog or smog. In North America, the syndrome is seen primarily in beef cows older than two. Veterinarians and producers find it a frustrating disease to treat, and it often occurs in an outbreak where 10 to 50 percent of the herd may be affected. The outbreak usually begins four to 10 days after moving cattle abruptly from dry and overgrazed pasture to a more lush pasture. Lush is a difficult term to define precisely, and we don’t fully understand all of the risk factors associated with these outbreaks. The syndrome has been seen in cattle that are moved from mountain grazing to valleys late in the fall or in cows returning home to graze after being at a community pasture. In some cases, regrowth on a pasture late in the fall can trigger outbreaks without even moving cows from one pasture to another. The pneumonia that develops is different from many of the other pneumonias with which ranchers are familiar. Most pneumonic conditions are caused by bacteria and/or viruses and are more common in young and growing cattle. This respirator y syndrome is caused by a protein in the lush pasture called tryptophan and typically affects only adult cows. The protein is converted by the bacteria in the rumen and produces a toxin known as 3-methyl-indole when the cattle are exposed to a new pasture with higher levels of tryptophan and their rumen bacteria are not gradually adapted to it. The toxin is circulated in the cow’s blood stream to the lung, where it causes severe cellular dam-

age. The result is a severe, untreatable respiratory syndrome. Clinical signs consist of a sudden onset of severe respiratory distress. Affected cows have laboured breathing and often breathe with an open mouth. They will grunt forcibly on expiration, and froth will develop around their mouths. They often appear to be anxious and have difficulty breathing but are not depressed in the way that cattle are with bacterial pneumonias. The affected animals are reluctant to walk and don’t graze. In some cases, they may go down and not be able to get up. The severe respiratory distress can cause pockets of air to accumulate under the skin of the animal. The animal’s

temperature is often only slightly elevated. Affected animals usually die within two to three days of the onset of symptoms, and the mortality rate is 30 to 100 percent. The lungs are large, heavy, swollen and full of fluid. They often have a marbled appearance and a rubbery or meaty texture. A veterinarian can often make a diagnosis based on the clinical signs of the disease and on the post-mortem findings. The disease is especially frustrating because little can be done to prevent or treat further cases once it is diagnosed. Producers should consider emergency slaughter or salvage for severe cases if possible. However,

slaughter is an option only in animals that have not received recent antibiotics and have no possibility of drug residues in their system. Affected cattle should be moved with extreme caution. Moving them off pasture can cause so much stress that they often die. Moving them after being on the pasture for four days or more is of little value and is unlikely to prevent any further cases from developing. Veterinarians often prescribe an anti-inflammatory medication to try to limit the inflammation and swelling in the lungs, but the prognosis is often poor and treatment success is limited at best. Fog fever is difficult to prevent

because there are probably risk factors that we haven’t yet identified. It would be wise to not move cattle abruptly from dry overgrazed pasture to lush pasture and try to make the transition more gradual. Another form of feed supplementation may help with the transition. The feed additive monensin has been shown to reduce the production of the 3-methyl-indole toxin, but we cannot predict all the circumstances that will cause this disease to occur. John Campbell is head of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

Producers can protect their herd from disease by keeping new animals out of the flock and making careful purchases of replacement animals. | FILE PHOTO SHEEP | DISEASE

Biosecurity must be priority Due diligence | Sheep producers must purchase replacements carefully STORIES BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

NISKU, Alta. — Forget about coyotes. The most dangerous animal to a sheep is another sheep, said Dr. Chris Clark, a veterinarian with the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. Diseases are the major cause of losses in the sheep industry, so producers need to be wary of introducing any outside sheep into the flock without asking a lot of questions, said Clark. “Farms most successful are the ones who don’t bring new sheep onto the farm. Sheep from somewhere else, with unknown health status, could be carrying just about anything,” Clark told a recent Alberta Sheep Breeders Association meeting. “You have to start by thinking of where you are sourcing replacements from. You are potentially bringing in disease.” Clark recommended that producers know as much about the animals they are buying as possible. He suggested working with veterinarians to help identify diseases but also said producers should ask sellers tough

questions about the flock. “The only way to know if the sheep has those diseases is to have an open and frank discussion with the vendor,” he said. He said producers should ask about the farm’s culling rate as well as the number of abortions and if the aborted fetuses were sent to a lab to identify causes. Both ways can help identify potential problems, he added. “You are depending on the reputation of that seller.” Clark said producers need to plan to buy replacements long before the breeding season rather than buying whatever is sold through the auction two weeks before the animals are needed. “You have to decide where things are coming from. If you don’t have a plan for replacements, nothing else matters,” said Clark, who often hears from producers about disease problems after they have introduced new sheep into the flock. “Replacements trump everything else.” Clark said discussions of biosecurity often focus on hygiene and cleaning equipment, but the easiest form of biosecurity is trying not to

introduce the disease onto the farm in the first place. “I’m not saying sheep should be raised in a bubble,” he said. “I am not talking of raising sheep that are free of disease but planning so the disease doesn’t get in the flock.” Minimizing the number of times sheep leave and return to the farm for a show or community pasture is another way to reduce disease on the farm. The returning sheep should be placed in an isolation pasture to reduce the introduction of disease. Sick animals should be quickly isolated from the healthy herd to stop the transmission of disease within a flock. Clark also recommended reducing access to the flock by off-farm visitors, especially other sheep producers or sheep shearers. “People who come in contact with sheep are the highest risk.” He also recommended not using the same farm tractor bucket to dispose of dead stock and move feed around. “You need to have a disinfection plan, or have two buckets,” he said. “It is almost impossible to disinfect a bucket.”

SHEEP | ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR

‘Think like a sheep’ to increase productivity NISKU, Alta. — Gord Schroeder says it’s not uncommon for him to grab a lawn chair and simply watch his sheep. The Saskatchewan Sheep Development Board manager isn’t admiring his animals. Instead, he’s trying to figure out their behaviour. “If you have a basic understanding of sheep behaviour, it will make raising and handling sheep less stressful for both the sheep and shepherd,” Schroeder told a recent Alberta Sheep Breeders Association meeting. “It will also dismiss the notion that sheep are stupid.” He said knowing how sheep think and react to situations is key to reducing handler frustration and helping the animals move more smoothly. “You need to think like a sheep and just be one step ahead of them,” said Schroeder, who believes producers should design their sheep operations around their handling systems. “Remember, modest equipment

and good planning will work better than expensive equipment and poor planning.” He said sheep don’t like sharp contrasts and shadows. Something as simple as hanging a light bulb in a dark corner will make them more willing to move into that area. Schroeder said it’s sometimes easier for producers to move sheep by themselves without help. The animals have excellent hearing and are sensitive to loud noises, he added, and stressed sheep are more difficult to handle. “Familiar calm voices reduce the animals’ stress.” He said producers who understand normal sheep behaviour have an easier time detecting abnormal behaviour, which helps identify what’s causing the problem. For example, a nervous flock in the morning often means predation pressure at night. As well, an animal or flock with no appetite or energy means something is amiss.

Schroeder also said it’s helpful to remember that sheep love sheep. They run away from things that scare them and run toward each other. Having a few sheep in a pen where you want the rest of the flock to go encourages them to move forward. He said he has also noticed sheep like to move uphill rather than downhill, and they don’t like moving from one kind of floor surface to another. Schroeder’s sheep were recently hesitant to travel up the handling system, which had never been a problem before. Instead of fighting with the animals he dropped down on all fours and moved through the handling system at sheep height. That’s how he noticed a red coat hanging on the wall. When it was removed, the sheep were once again easy to move. “Understanding sheep behaviour and why they are doing what they’re doing has saved me a lot of labour and increased my productivity.”

South Dakota ranchers rescue sheep from snow Storm fallout | Couple saves 24 sheep buried in snow following an early October storm that killed thousands of animals BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

When a massive South Dakota storm abated after dropping a winddriven four to six feet of snow, Tom and Karen Seaman of Newell, S.D., ventured out to find their sheep. They’d been virtually housebound from Oct. 3 to 6 after the blizzard closed roads and knocked out power in the western half of the state. The early and severe storm caught them and other livestock producers with herds still on summer range. As they drove about 40 kilometres to their rented pasture on Oct. 6, they saw carcasses of cattle that had huddled, suffocated and died of hypothermia during the storm’s worst blast. The sight fostered little hope they would find the missing members of their 800 head sheep flock. It was the sheepdog that pointed them to the side of a draw, with snow

three to six feet deep. They dug, and found one sheep had survived. If there was one, there might be others, so they called in reinforcements. “I think my parents were just completely surprised that they were able to dig them out alive,” said the Seamans’ daughter, Jessica Bean. “It was a very crazy experience because you can’t imagine digging down that deep. You assume (the sheep are) going to be dead.” After digging for most of a day, the crew managed to extract 24 weakened sheep from the snow bank.

They had been without food for roughly three days. “Every one we pulled out, it was like we won the lottery, we were so excited. They were buried for quite some time because it would have to have happened at least Friday, just by the amount of snow that had covered them,” said Bean. “They don’t think to get up and move when the snow starts building up because they’re just trying to survive.” It appeared the animals’ body heat melted a small pocket of snow around them, insulating them

against the brunt of the storm as snow accumulated. At first the Seamans thought they’d lost more than 100 head but like other ranchers, they found their animals had wandered far and wide in search of shelter. In the end, they lost 14 sheep and considered themselves lucky. Other ranchers have lost hundreds of animals, particularly cattle. Few carry insurance and government programs have been in turmoil since the U.S. government stalemate ended two weeks ago. Several livestock organizations

have set up a relief fund to help those affected. “I feel guilty even saying how many we lost because so many others had such a worse outcome, but we got really lucky and we also said a lot of prayers,” Bean said. Some cattle were reported to have wandered up to 50 km from their home pastures. Tens of thousands are estimated to have died and not all have yet been buried. The storm began with heavy rain that soaked the cattle. High winds and heavy snow followed.

Changes to the Provincial Lands Act won’t be made during this session of the Saskatchewan legislature. The government consulted during the summer, saying it wanted input as it moves to improve and modernize the legislation last updated in 1978. However, the Oct. 23 throne speech did not mention the act, and agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said the government isn’t ready to introduce changes. “There’s a lot of work and consultation involved in getting ready, and we’re just not quite there,” he said. The ministry’s lands branch is also busy handling the transfer of federal pastures to the province. The act allows the agriculture and environment ministries to administer provincial crown lands. Agricultural stakeholders said they are in no rush for changes but are ready for them. “We actually encouraged them to go ahead,” said Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association chair Mark Elford. “If they don’t do it, it’s not an issue.” Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association president Harold Martens said his organization made sure to ask for control over access of lease lands. “In all of the things that relate to biosecurity that the federal government is pushing in Saskatchewan, and the provinces, the beef industry is going to be the most difficult one to handle all that stuff,” he said. He said animal health and weed control are two good reasons for lessees to have that control. One of the suggestions the province put forward during consultation is that lenders be able to use lease land as security. Martens said there is still more discussion to be had on that and other issues.

With 8% more yield than other inoculants, it makes a welcome addition to any operation.

Chances are if you grow peas or lentils you’re already using inoculants. What you may not realize is they’re not all created equal. That’s why you should insist on Nodulator® XL. With the most active strain of rhizobia, it improves nitrogen fixation for increased root biomass and top growth. It all adds up to higher yield potential. So when you choose Nodulator XL, we suggest you think ahead to harvest time—and think big. To find out more, visit agsolutions.ca or contact AgSolutions® Customer Care at 1-877-371-BASF (2273).

A Manitoba company is months away from launching 100 percent tree-free, wheat straw-based paper in North America. It’s a commercial success story in an agricultural biofibres industry that always seems to be on the verge of creating real industrial demand for farm waste but never quite gets there. “A lot of it is perseverance,” said Prairie Pulp and Paper co-founder and president Jeff Golfman. “We’ve been at this 15 years.” Golfman’s company already markets an 80 percent tree-free, strawbased paper through the market dominant Staples office supply chain and the Unisource business-tobusiness distribution chain. It is manufactured in India, but Golfman hopes to build a pulp and paper plant in Manitoba as soon as the company sells enough paper to support it, using the large volumes of Red River Valley wheat straw that farmers now burn most autumns. Step Forward Paper has been making a big media splash, partly because of its trendy “green” attributes and partly because of its promotion by investor and Hollywood star Woody Harrelson. Hundreds of articles and mentions of the company and product have appeared in North American publications. Andrew Gustyn, Unisource’s manager of environmental sustainability, said Golfman’s success due to business acumen rather than just a good idea. Ideas are cheap and plentiful, he said, but a solid industrial business that can consistently supply a product based on a good idea is rare. “We end up getting thousands to tens of thousands of individual items (offered to Unisource) on a yearly basis,” said Gustyn. “We need to understand that they’re going to be there for a while.” Gustyn said Prairie Pulp and Paper developed its product, supply chain and marketing plan so that it could

guarantee it could supply a dependable product. It involved years of product testing and formulation, a three-continent, globe-trotting process of developing and producing the product and finding financing to ensure the paper could be made, brought to North America and provided consistently to retailers. Biofibres from sources such as hemp and flax are refined and incorporated in industrial uses such as composites used in cars and aircrafts. Many products are under development around the world. However, paper is a massive market with potential to consume unwanted straw from farmers’ fields. Many people assume the paper business is declining, with electronic communications replacing printed forms, but in reality growth in countries such as India and China

is more than replacing mature market declines. As a result, the market for paper is bigger than ever. “Even if we go down 50 percent, even 100 percent here in North America, worldwide demand is going up,” said Golfman. “They’re going up gangbusters.” The Step Forward Paper is made in India because manufacturing plants there are more modern, advanced and environmentally efficient than North American plants, which are old. The last new pulp plant in North America was built 38 years ago, and it has been shut down. Golfman said he isn’t worried about the cost of competing with low labour costs from overseas suppliers once his Canadian plant is running. Any plant he builds will be almost entirely automated and will employ Manitoba’s cheap industrial energy.

“If you have no labour and you have got cheap fibre, you’ve got yourself a compelling business argument,” said Golfman. Gustyn said Step Forward Paper is price competitive with 30 percent recycled paper and cheaper than 100 percent recycled paper, which is a “sweet spot” in the market. Paper from trees is cheapest. As a result, the company is making sales, moving into the retail office products market and making plans to eventually enter the commercial printing market.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS | REGULATIONS

It’s not easy being green, says wheat straw paper maker Companies that want to prove they are green are going to have to shell out lots of the other kind of green, say the makers of wheat straw-based paper. The life cycle study used to prove that Step Forward Paper is better for the environment than traditional, tree-based paper cost Prairie Pulp

and Paper about $100,000. “It’s the best money we’ve ever invested because now you have this proof,” said president Jeff Golfman. Golfman’s paper is 80 percent treefree, relying on wheat straw that is pulped and processed in India and then exported to North America.

He said the goal is to replace treebased paper and instead use agricultural fibre that has no value to farmers and is a waste product. The company hopes to introduce 100 percent tree-free paper next year. It sounds environmentally sound, but Golfman and distributor Andrew

Gustyn of Unisource said environmental claims are challenged by both competitors and environmental watchdogs, so they need to be well-documented. “In a lot of cases, we’ve had criticism levelled against us from other paper companies, North American paper companies, saying you can’t

be as green as (one of their products) because of the environmental impact of transporting the product from offshore,” said Gustyn, whose company is Canada’s biggest paper distributor and office supplies provider. SEE GREEN WASH ON NEXT PAGE

FINANCE | STRATEGIC THINKING

Growing family farm requires sophisticated strategic thinking MANAGING THE FARM

BOB TOSH, Bsc., PAg

Communication is key when multiple family members are involved

ike most family businesses, the family farm is a complex cauldron of human relationships, business needs and ownership expectations. Formal communication policies and governance and legal agreements are often missing or inadequate, even when the farm is in a partnership or company structure. Informal structures and processes have traditionally been accepted as the norm, and the business of farming has managed to progress despite these limitations. However, the face of modern agriculture has changed and many family farms have evolved into complex, highly capitalized businesses that have outgrown their former practices. There is a need to introduce new methodologies, which becomes even stronger when factoring in the complexity of intergenerational transfer. Strategic thinking on traditional family farms has tended to focus on operations and management, with ideas and direction rarely documented or analyzed beyond discussion at the family dinner table. This can lead to an atmosphere of uncertainty with poor communication, no clear direction and a culture of avoiding or accommodating behaviour among family members. This may be accepted when the founding generation remains in charge, but the situation rapidly becomes unsustainable when multiple siblings or cousins are added. The problem is not unique to farming; it is a condition of many family businesses. The solution is to introduce formality and educate family members to change the way they think and act. This cannot happen overnight and requires time, effort and a commitment to see things through. However, it will allow the family to move away from the managerial and operational focus to become more strategic and entrepreneurial in thinking. This can also help alleviate some of the common tensions that arise out of family farm succession issues. The three circle model is a basic concept that emerged out of work done at Harvard in the 1980s and is well described in the book Generation to Generation — Life cycles of the

family business, (Gersick, Davis, et al. 1997, Harvard Business School Press). It can be summarized as the diagrammatic depiction of three independent but overlapping subsystems within a family business: family, ownership and business. Pulling apart the three areas of family, ownership and business makes it possible to introduce new processes that clarify how the family business can work in the future. It is important to note that these three areas overlap and are part of a system that can never be completely separated. The first step is to acknowledge the need for change, which is often the biggest hurdle. A specific event, such as the introduction of the next generation or a rapid expansion, is usually needed to trigger the realization that the existing processes are no longer working. The next step is to educate key family members so that they understand the situation and what needs to be done. This education comes in many forms, from books to the internet to seeking the help of professionals with expertise in this area. Phrases such as “governance,” “shareholder agreements” and “family constitutions” will become more familiar and better understood. Then the real work begins. Step three starts with discovering the key issues, which begins with the family. It may be helpful to employ a professional adviser who can extract and reframe these issues in a neutral form. Step four is creating an action plan to address the key issues, with assigned responsibilities and built-in accountability. Step five is implementation. Failure to implement is often the main reason why strategic planning does not work, but the chance of success increases if the family adopts new processes and procedures. Engaging in new thinking helps the family redefine its strategic planning with better communication, better governance structures and an understanding of its values, vision, mission and goals. Think about some of the large family owned companies: Cargill, Richardson, Kal Tire and the Jim Pattison Group. The families aren’t sitting around the kitchen table anymore, but the businesses are still guided by family values. The families changed their approaches and ways of thinking. There is no reason why this can’t be done on the farm. This quote from an unknown source sums up the need for farm families to take a different approach: “If you change what you talk about and how you talk about it, you will change who you are and where you are heading.”

Manufacturers of environmentally friendly products can be accused of being “green washers” if the product’s environmental impact is not properly studied and documented. | PRAIRIE PULP AND PAPER PHOTO GREEN WASH | FROM PAGE 84

Companies must guard against ‘green wash’ label Golfman spent $100,000 on a life cycle study that compared his company’s paper against all of its competitors and alternatives in the market, showing that it is at least as good as 100 percent recycled paper and better than products made directly from trees. Gustyn said the transportation impact is not as severe as many might believe because plants in India and China are much newer than North American plants and have many efficiencies and emissions controls that don’t exist in most North American plants. Golfman also said providers of sup-

ANDREW GUSTYN UNISOURCE

posedly environmentally beneficial products need to satisfy professional environmentalists that they’re not just “greenwashing” the product with bogus claims.

“If you’re going to do an environmental product, you have to be endorsed by the NGO (non-government organization) community, otherwise you’ll be labelled as a green washer, and you don’t want that,” he said. “That’s the worst thing that you can have if you are trying to promote an environmentally friendly product.” Gustyn said Golfman’s life cycle study was top quality and all encompassing, which is why it cost so much. Many products can be studied for less. Some products that Unisource has assessed have cost only $5,000 to study.
