RNAi key to glyphosate resistance Promising research | Glyphosate mixed with RNAi molecules effective against resistant plants BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

VANCOUVER —Weed scientists have worried for years about the lack of new technologies and chemistries needed to fight herbicide resistant weeds. However, something new is now on the horizon.

Monsanto has discovered that it is possible to kill glyphosate resistant weeds with a biological technique called RNA interference (RNAi). Doug Sammons, a senior fellow with Monsanto who studies the management of glyphosate resistant weeds, said greenhouse and field tests indicate a mixture of glyphosate and an RNAi biological molecule can

amaranth from field trials conducted last year. Glyphosate alone failed to kill the weed in one of the patches. “(But) when we include our trigger (RNAi) with our glyphosate, we get a bare ground plot,” he said. SEE RNAi KEY, PAGE 3

Eleven Ontario hog operations had been infected with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus as of Feb. 10. Feed may be connected with its arrival and spread. Ontario Agriculture confirmed PED DNA has been found in swine feed samples but did not provide further details. Livestock feed supplier Grand Valley Fortifiers of Cambridge, Ont., issued a voluntary recall Feb. 9 of swine nursery products that contain porcine blood plasma. It urged other feed manufacturers to do the same. Kansas State University experts have identified porcine ingredients in feed as a possible source of the virus in the United States, where PED has spread to 20 states. Grand Valley voluntarily recalled three products and advised producers to stop feeding any they had bought since Jan. 1.

ANIMAL HEALTH | FROM PAGE ONE

PED found in 11 barns The company said in a news release that feed it had sourced from a third party supplier contained products that “may be a risk factor in the transmission of PED virus.” Calls to Grand Valley had not been returned by press time Feb. 10. “That press release indicates that PED blood plasma was in the feed and that’s why it’s being pulled,” said Mark Cripps of Ontario’s agriculture ministry. “They are telling producers to stop using it.” In its news release, Grand Valley referred to a third party pelleted feed manufacturer that was using porcine plasma but has since removed the product, cleaned its plant and no longer uses porcine origin feed ingredients. Robert Harding, executive director of the Canadian Swine Health Board, said he has been in touch with the animal nutrition association and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency since Grand Valley issued its voluntary feed recall. “They haven’t made any connections. There’s no smoking gun yet,” said Harding. Dr. Egan Brockhoff of Prairie Swine Health Services in Red Deer said porcine blood plasma isn’t an uncommon swine feed ingredient. It is a protein source. However, he said there are other sources of protein, and most of his Alberta clients do not use feed containing porcine-based products. Testing feed for PED is good advice regardless of content, added Brockhoff. “Essentially they recommended that you take a closer look at your feed, your potential risk within your swine diet,” he said about the Kansas State advice. Harding said new cases confirmed in Ontario are not a surprise, but they are disappointing.

The PED virus thrives in cold weather and spreads easily in fecal matter on trucks, clothing and other materials. Hog operations are sending in large numbers of samples to test for infection in efforts to identify and contain PED. “It is desperate times, and desperate times take desperate measures,” Harding said. “We’re not in a panic mode, but we certainly are in a crisis mode in Canada on how do we ensure that we contain what’s here and potentially eliminate that?” PED has been found in three wean to finish and eight farrow to finish operations in eight Ontario counties. Virus presence has also been confirmed at trucking yards, a processing plant and a hog assembly yard. Infected farms voluntarily halted shipping immediately after the virus was discovered in Ontario Jan. 22 . However, Brockhoff said there is a plan for carefully timed shipping of hogs for processing. PED poses no risk to humans or other animals, and its presence in barns does not affect meat quality or safety. Its damage lies in high piglet mortality. The virus kills nearly 100 percent of young pigs. Older ones appear able to mount an immune response, which limits losses. A vaccine is available, but its efficacy is unproven and it will not prevent infection. Harding said provincial co-operation is key in limiting further spread of PED, which has been ongoing since it was first confirmed in the U.S. in May. He said American counterparts have been helpful in sharing research results and advice. PED has not been reported in western Canadian hog operations.

RNAi key to glyphosate resistance He also showed photos from greenhouse trials where a combination of RNAi and glyphosate killed weeds that were previously resistant to glyphosate. Sammons said the technology uses a plant enzyme called EPSPS, which is needed to synthesize amino acids. Glyphosate binds to the EPSPS enzyme in susceptible weeds, obstructing plant growth and development and eventually killing the weed. Resistant weeds such as Palmer amaranth overcome glyphosate by manufacturing additional copies of

the EPSPS enzyme. “In resistant Palmer amaranth, there’s more enzyme than there is glyphosate, generally,” Sammons said. Monsanto’s website describes RNAi as a way to turn down or shut off the expression of certain genes, which suppresses the production of a specific protein in an organism. In the case of resistant weeds, Monsanto is using RNAi to shut down their production of the EPSPS enzyme. Glyphosate is once again effective if the weed produces fewer copies of EPSPS. “Silencing creates an opportunity for the herbicide to work again,” Sammons said in an interview at the conference. “So it’s going to make the herbicide more active on the target that’s selected.” He said tests indicate that RNAi by itself can moderately inhibit weed growth, but Monsanto is focused on

using RNAi in combination with herbicides. “(In tests), by 19 days it was pretty clear that the sensitive plants were individually stunted, so it looked like the dose of RNAi was giving us a little bit of… activity by itself,” he said. Sammons said weed scientists are curious about RNAi for two reasons. “One is, there are some problems to solve. The second is because there’s been such a shortage of new areas (for weed control) discovered in the last 20 years…. This is really a new opportunity.” Steve Duke, a U.S. Department of Agriculture weed scientist and glyphosate expert in Mississippi, said government and university scientists are also studying the potential of RNAi. “It’s exciting, cutting edge concept for managing pests, and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is looking at it very carefully, in terms

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 13, 2014

of what risks there might be on nontarget organisms,” he said. “But it’s still early in the game, as far as sorting out if it’s going to be economical, efficacious and safe enough for widespread use…. But the nice thing about the technology is you can fine-tune the product for a specific weed species or a group of weeds.” Many scientists believe RNAi has tremendous potential to combat weed resistance to glyphosate and other herbicides, but others worry about off target effects. Adam Davis, a USDA weed scientist in Urbana, Illinois, said the risks might outweigh the benefits. “RNAi could be very powerful, but I have to admit that I’m also concerned about the potential for unintended consequences,” he said. “Potentially, there might be some evolutionary change that reduces its selectivity and effects some non-tar-

get organisms.” Sammons said Monsanto is studying if RNAi has off target gene activity and off species activity. So far they haven’t found any evidence, he added. He also said it’s true that RNAi may provoke biological changes in weeds that cause resistance, but the technology also offers a potential solution. “Every time we come up with a new herbicide, the plants respond. So should I say that’s not going to happen? No. There will be a consequence, but we’re not clear what it will look like,” he said. “Every consequence has an origin and has a gene. Now we can go back after it (with RNAi).” Sammons said using RNAi to combat herbicide resistance is at the early stages of development at Monsanto. FOR MORE ON RNAi, VISIT WWW.PRODUCER.COM.

GRAIN HANDLING | TAKEOVER BID

Case made to keep WIT independent Weyburn Inland Terminal | Farmers discuss proposal, many speak out against offer from Parrish & Heimbecker BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

WEYBURN, Sask. — Shareholders opposed to the proposed sale of Weyburn Inland Terminal have urged others to vote against the deal at an upcoming special meeting. The dissident shareholders said the terminal should remain independent and will be profitable. Eleven men put their names forward as nominees for the board of directors, including two who resigned from the board in December because of a board decision to entertain purchase offers. “WIT is still a thriving grain company despite the many challenges it’s faced,” said Brent Kosior, one of the 11. He and others said they have been discussing how to address concerns about liquidity and have ideas. However, all were limited in what they would say, cautioned by their lawyer. Kosior noted that in 1998 a group wanted to sell WIT to United Grain Growers. Then, 63 percent of the votes cast was opposed to the idea. “That crisis was averted,” he said, “Since then WIT shares have increased more than five times in value.” More than 200 people attended the Feb. 4 meeting in Weyburn, where many said they were original shareholders and wanted to see WIT’s independence continue. Clifford Ganshorn, who farmed near Grand Coulee, Sask., until his retirement, drew applause for his comments: “I am one of the original shareholders before they ever even poured an inch of cement,” he said. “I have never hauled a bushel here … but I have invested in it. It’s been the greatest investment I ever made in my lifetime, and I am willing to throw away every penny of it to see to it that it stays farmer owned and farmer controlled for the benefit of southern Saskatchewan farmers.” The current board has endorsed an offer from Parrish & Heimbecker, which has offered $17.25 a share to take over WIT. A special shareholders’ meeting is scheduled for Feb. 28 to vote on the proposal. One of the concerns expressed at the meeting was what will happen to

Michael Mainil said each condo has a separate title and farmers own them, but they don’t know what will happen if the Parrish & Heimbecker deal goes ahead. “I bought the condo at a value,” he said, referring to his most recent purchase at $7 a bushel. “Is it still at that same value?” Al Richards, a Regina area farmer who sat on the board from 1981 to 1985 and again from 1999 until his resignation, said WIT has always met challenges head on. The terminal has 38 percent of market share in the region, leaving competitors Viterra and Pioneer the rest.

“How is it then that the board of WIT has determined that it is impossible to operate as an independent marketer and the company must be sold?” he said. Richards said he and fellow director Dale Mainil have quit the board, but they didn’t quit the company. Calling themselves the Shareholders Group, the meeting organizers asked those in attendance for their proxy votes, which the group would use to vote no to the proposed sale at a meeting planned for Feb. 28. One person in attendance noted that if the takeover occurs, liquidity won’t be an issue because no one will own shares anymore. At least one in the crowd said perhaps now is the right time to sell,

rather than when the company is in trouble. According to the 2013 third quarter financial statements, WIT earned $1.284 million on grain and $1.7 million on crop production services in the first nine months of the year, before taxes. However, it also lost $1.7 million on its ethanol operations at NorAmera BioEnergy Corp. and $429,000 in other operations. The deal with P&H would require two-thirds of the shares represented at the meeting to be in favour in order to go ahead. There are about 5.48 million common shares outstanding and each is entitled to one vote. Current directors and executive own nearly nine percent of the

shares, according to the circulars issued by both the Shareholders Group and the WIT board, and have agreed to vote in favour of the deal. The company circular notes that the board decided Oct. 26, 2013, to engage in a review that could result in a sale or partial sale of the company. It says that maintaining “independence as a grain marketer carried significant risk, as the competitive market is increasingly dominated by large multinational corporations” with greater capacity and financial resources. By the end of November WIT’s board had received six non-binding expressions of interest and by Dec. 7 had entere d into an exclusive arrangement with P&H.

Farmers are going to have trouble finding the money to build new barns, says the Manitoba Pork Council’s general manager. Andrew Dickson said profits are back, but Manitoba’s hog industry is still trying to figure out how to break the financing grip strangling its badly needed recapitalization. “Our production capacity is not being replaced,” Dickson told the Manitoba Swine Seminar Feb. 5. “We’re seeing a slow but general decline in hog production.” Dickson said the average Manitoba barn is 16 to 17 years old. He said it would cost $1.6 billion to replace all the barns in Manitoba, which will need to be done eventually. However, it’s hard to do when banks will lend only a maximum of 65 percent of the appraised value of a barn and barns are much more highly valued than they were a few years ago. A farmer with an old barn who has lost much of his equity in recent years will have trouble finding the down payment necessary to obtain the financing. “We are stuck in this problem right

now,” said Dickson. The hog industry is a powerful e c o n o m i c f o rc e i n Ma n i t o b a, employing more than 12,000 people and producing billions of dollars of activity. However, it has lost lots of money in recent years and has faced aggressive regulatory restrictions from the provincial government. Dickson said Manitoba’s two main packing plants are running at only 80 to 83 percent of capacity because of a dearth of market hogs, while U.S. plants are running at 97 percent. He said the provincial industry would need to add 250 new feeder barns to provide enough to keep the plants running at near 100 percent. Right now, Manitoba can’t even hang on to the barns it’s got, he added.

“To replace the stock of barns we have, we should be replacing 20 to 30 a year, and we have not been doing that,” said Dickson. Farmers will want to reinvest and stay in the industry if profitability continues, but they face big problems coming up with the capital after recent tough years. The pork council is pushing a three-pronged strategy to try to break the financing logjam: • The council is still trying to persuade the provincial government to agree to a farmer-funded and government-guaranteed hog price stabilization line of credit to cover slumps. • The council is advocating partially government-guaranteed loans for barn construction. • The council is pushing for licensing of new hog farms to ensure that they have a contract with a packer before they are allowed to build. A guaranteed place to sell the pigs should help farmers avoid the disasters that occur when packer capacity is exceeded. Dickson said he thinks those programs would lead to $400 million in new investment and help the industry supply packers with what they need.

WINNIPEG BUREAU

Hog producers shouldn’t accept that porcine epidemic diarrhea virus is inevitably going to hit their farms, says Mark Fynn of Manitoba Pork. He said disease transmission can be prevented, even in the midst of widespread infection. “If we don’t have the virus in our province right now, our point of contacts for bringing the virus in are relatively few,” Fynn said during a panel discussion at the Manitoba Swine Seminar. “For now, we have fairly few things to really focus on, so spend a lot of time and focus on those areas and make sure to keep it out.” PED has spread widely through the North American hog herd but has not broken out in Western Canada. It is widespread in Iowa and Minnesota, areas tightly connected to Manitoba’s hog industry and the destination for many trucks that haul weanlings from Manitoba. Fynn said many operations in Iowa have not been infected, even though barns all around them have the disease. Following good biosecurity standards appears to reduce infection risk by about 90 percent.

Fynn said infection risk now comes from the few high-traffic areas that connect the Midwest to Manitoba, so there’s a good chance that the disease can be kept out if those are kept clean and monitored. Manitoba Agriculture veterinarian Glen Duizer said provincial monitoring and control efforts are now focused on the riskiest areas for spread. Fynn said producers should do everything they can to keep the disease off their farms because much wider control efforts will be needed once it arrives, involving slaughter plants and rendering facilities and requiring much greater control of farm visitors. Veterinarian Mike Sheridan told farmers that the disease can’t just spread by itself, which means it can be controlled. “I think it’s very important that you realize that this thing does not have legs,” said Sheridan. It also does not seem to spread by respiratory infection, which means it probably doesn’t spread through the air, unlike other coronaviruses s u c h a s t ra n s m i s s i b l e ga s t ro enteritis. Sheridan said healthy animals won’t likely become sick if they can be kept away from infected feces.

MANITOBA SWINE SEMINAR | PED PREVENTION

Environmental sampling essential to ensure PED protection BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers can’t assume that boosting biosecurity levels is enough to protect against the threat of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, an Ontario government veterinarian told the Manitoba Swine Seminar. The disease can grow silently and suddenly burst out if not identified. “Just raising your biosecurity might give you a false sense of security,” Tim Blackwell said during a PED panel discussion. “You should be doing the environmental sampling at high risk areas

where you raised your biosecurity because you’re concerned.” PED has been moving relentlessly through the North American hog herd for almost a year, hitting hundreds of farms in the U.S. Midwest and eastern hog production zones. The disease is generally fatal to piglets but relatively minor for older pigs. It has been dangerously close to Canada since it first appeared in the United States, spreading through herds in Iowa and Minnesota and other areas to which hog trucks from the Prairies often travel. Some hog trucks tested in Manito-

TIM BLACKWELL VETERINARIAN

ba have been found positive for the disease, but herds have not yet been infected. Southern Ontario was similarly free from PED for most of last year, but multiple cases of infection have been found in the last few weeks and the virus has appeared in many places,

such as assembly yards. There is little hog traffic between Western and Eastern Canada, but Ontario is an example of an area connected to the U.S. finally succumbing to the threat. Blackwell said Ontario’s hog industry immediately responded to the U.S. outbreak by raising biosecurity standards, but many producers left it at that and did not test to see if they were remaining PEDfree. This lack of vigilance can allow the virus to grow and multiply and then suddenly burst out in a lethal outbreak, he added.

Blackwell said PED produces masses of infection, far more than many similar ailments. This makes each sick animal the source of huge amounts of disease to other pigs. Farmers who don’t test might be oblivious to the disease getting a foothold in a herd. Testing could flag an infection before it has spread too widely. “If it doesn’t cost you anything to test, anywhere you think you should raise your biosecurity you should be testing,” said Blackwell. Biosecurity is essential, he added, but it’s not necessarily effective without monitoring to see if it’s working.

THE LAST HURRAH

U.S. will see ideal weather, moisture: climatologist BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An El Nino is expected to arrive this spring, bringing good growing conditions to the Western Hemisphere but doom for drought-ravaged Australia. The weather phenomenon, which is caused by warm ocean water, should deliver much needed rain to the southwestern United States and good growing conditions for the U.S. Plains, said climatologist Art Douglas of Creighton University in Nebraska. “El Nino is coming,” he told a market outlook session held during last week’s National Cattlemen’s Beef Association conference in Nashville. Sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean are warming quickly, which signals the beginning of an El Nino. Warmer water alters the path of jet streams that move weather around the world. “There is a tremendous amount of energy, and that is a good setup for an El Nino,” he said Feb. 5. “It is going to come quick, and it is going to come by the summer.” Most of the grain growing regions of the U.S. will have near ideal growing conditions with good moisture in the spring and a warm summer. There should also be fewer hurricanes. Temperatures in most of Canada tend to be warmer and drier during the winter of an El Nino. The Palmer drought index for the U.S. shows dry areas are shrinking, but significantly arid conditions continue in the southwest with California suffering the worst. However, California received 75 millimetres of rain the day after Douglas delivered his annual forecast. This year’s El Nino should also relieve drought in Argentina but reverse rainfall patterns and leave Brazil drier than normal. As well, it will dry out Australia starting by July. The continent is already suffering under a burdensome drought that has forced one of the largest cow culls in three decades because of the lack of pasture. South Asia will be wetter than normal, but west-central India and northern China could dry up starting by July. Both have had ideal winter wheat growing conditions.

NATIONAL CATTLEMEN’S BEEF ASSOCIATION | COUNTRY-OF-ORIGIN LABELLING

COOL ‘travesty’ needs fixing: NCBA Cattle group fears retaliation | NCBA estimates the cost to implement new rules at $100 million BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The battle against country-of-origin labelling is not lost, says the president of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, even if the U.S. farm bill is now law. “We are going to continue to work on this issue and we are getting more support,” Scott George said in an interview during the NCBA convention held in Nashville Feb. 3-7. “To me this is just a travesty that Congress didn’t fix this,” said George, who was replaced as president by Bob McCan during the convention but will continue to speak against COOL. Canada and Mexico have an appeal hearing with the World Trade Organization in Switzerland starting Feb. 18 to decide if the latest version of

COOL meets international obligations. Kristina Butts of the NCBA’s Washington office said the WTO decision could be months away, which gives government time to make changes. A possible solution is for Congress to refuse to fund its implementation when it is passing spending bills later this spring. COOL cannot continue if there is no budget to pay for inspectors and auditors, Butts said. “Every day that goes by we are just closer to retaliation,” she said. “Without addressing COOL, the WTO is going to continue to rule in favour of Canada and Mexico. What that means to you as producers is you are going to suffer retaliations from two of our largest export markets.” Canada’s list of possible retaliation tariffs includes live animals, beef, baked goods, sugar, biofuel, wine, grapes and apples. Butts said the

country needs to start talking about what tariffs might cost. George is also concerned about added costs to implement the bill because they will likely be passed all the way back to cow-calf producers. “The potential for this is very scary. The problem is the cost to implement this new rule, according to the Office of Budget and Management, is going to cost over $100 million for our industry,” he said. “Those packers that are bearing that cost are not going to just eat it. They are going to pass that right back.” COOL creates added time and paperwork for packers, who must separate foreign animals from domestic ones, and retailers, who must label and separate the meat. Those added costs are another burden to an already struggling packing industry.

Four major packers process 80 percent of U.S. beef, and individual plants are starting to close. There are not enough cattle, and an inability to add animals from Canada and Mexico will make the situation worse. The NCBA publicly opposed the farm bill because of COOL, but George admitted the law also contained good news for producers. It has introduced disaster insurance for livestock producers, which may make coverage possible for the past two years because of drought, floods, fire and blizzards. A research foundation for public and private funders was established, and conservation programs were solidified.

ALBERTA POLITICS | MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT ACT

Urban, rural municipalities differ on changes to governance act BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Rural Albertans need to speak out in support of their rural governments in upcoming Municipal Government Act sessions, said the head of the rural municipalities group. Bob Barss said rural municipalities are looking for different things in a new Municipal Government Act than urban municipalities. Urban governments would like to

make it easier to absorb land from neighbouring rural municipalities and change the rules on who gets the taxes from businesses in rural areas. If urban municipalities get their way and funding is allotted by population, urban regions will get the money from industry and rural will get the headache, he said. “This is huge. People should get involved so they understand what it all means,” said Barss, president of

the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties. The provincial government plans to host a series of regional consultation sessions in 11 communities from February to April. The review will focus on three areas: assessment and taxation, governance and administration and planning and development. Barss said they believe the MGA, the act that governs municipalities, is working and they don’t want the

province to make major changes, especially ones that will affect taxes and planning in rural areas. If changes are made, they hope to have a more streamlined annexation process instead of the adversarial and costly existing process that pits municipalities against one another. A clearer process would allow for better collaboration, he said. Rural municipalities also want better guidelines for when a hamlet is dissolved into a municipality. The

absorbing municipality is often left with a massive bill for upgrading the deteriorating services. Urban municipalities have their eyes on the tax base from counties, especially those surrounding urban centres, he said. Barss said rural municipalities also hope to gain more autonomy from the provincial government. “We want municipalities to be another level of government, not a creature of the province.”

INDIAN PULSES | PRODUCTION ESTIMATES

Indian pulse output forecast ‘optimistic’ Government expects bumper crop | Saskatchewan pulse exporter is skeptical, noting India is taking deliveries this spring BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

One of the world’s largest pulse crop processors is casting doubt on reports about India’s looming bumper crop and forecasts for reduced imports. “The word from the Indian trade is that seeded acreage is down and the overall yields are projected to be average to sub-average,” said Murad Al-Katib, president of Alliance Grain Traders Inc. It contradicts official reports from the Indian government, which suggest growers had planted a record 39.99 million acres of pulses as of Feb. 7, up from 37.7 million acres the same time a year ago. India has targeted a record 2013-14 rabi (winter) season crop of 12 million tonnes. Al-Katib is convinced that projection has more to do with politics than reality. “The Indian government statistics always have to be weighted towards food stability and food security and particularly in election years,” he said during an interview at the 2014 Saskatchewan Agriculture Trade Summit. However, it’s not just the Indian government forecasting a massive crop. G. Chandrashekhar, associate editor of The Hindu Business Line, said there is consensus in India that the rabi pulse crop will be no less than 13 million tonnes, including nine million tonnes of chickpeas. In an article he wrote for Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ February Pulse Market Report, Chandrashekhar said he anticipates a decline in annual pulse imports because of the looming bumper crop. He expects 2.75 million tonnes of imports in 2013-14, which is well below the usual volume of 3.5 million tonnes. India is the top customer of Canadian peas and ranks second to Turkey as a buyer of Canadian lentils. Al-Katib said statistics and estimates out of India can’t be trusted. He believes the best barometer of India’s crop prospects is the country’s purchasing behaviour.

If India’s self reliance grows, then Canadian exports could suffer. | “India is in the market buying April, May and June deliveries, and if they had a good crop they wouldn’t be doing that,” said Al-Katib. “That bodes well for moving the current (Canadian) crop, and it bodes well for new crop.” He is also highly skeptical of a forecast from India calling for reduced pulse imports. Ramesh Chand, director of India’s National Centre for Agriculture Economics and Policy Research, recently released a five-year plan showing India is expected to produce 18 to 21 million tonnes of pulses per year through 2016-17. To put that in perspective, India produced a record 18.45 million tonnes of kharif and rabi pulses in 2012-13. “Our rising pulses production will only help in import substitution, and from the current three to 3.5 million tonnes of annual imports it might

come down by one to two million tonnes,” said Chand in a Business Standard story. Al-Katib said Chand’s comment appears to be an Indian government official trying to quell speculation of the potential for future food price inflation. “The reality is the supply-demand gap has continued to grow, and we project that to grow significantly in the coming decade,” he said. Vijay Iyengar, chair of Agrocorp, another big pulse exporter, said India continuously talks about producing more pulses, but the biggest subsidies are for crops such as wheat and rice. “The pulses deficit will always be there, and I think the government is being a bit too optimistic in their forecast,” he said. Iyengar expects pulse consumption to increase in India because of an ambitious national food security

program introduced by the government last year. Last year’s national food security bill will provide heavily subsidized food to two-thirds of the country’s 1.2 billion citizens. Beneficiaries of the program will receive five kilograms of subsidized rice, wheat and coarse grains per month at a cost of two to five cents per kilogram, which is well below market rates. “This has the potential of really being a game changer as far as the overall supply and demand in the growth of the pulse market is concerned,” said Iyengar. Pulses are not included in the food subsidy program, but they will be consumed in conjunction with increased quantities of wheat and other grains. As well, it’s possible they will be incorporated into the subsidy program in the future.

UP, UP AND AWAY? India’s pulse crop production has rapidly risen from an average of slightly less than 14 million tonnes to more than 18 million tonnes the last few years. The target for 2013-14 is 19 million tonnes but a major Canadian pulse processor believes that is a bogus number. India’s pulse production* (million tonnes): 20 18 16 14 12 10 01/02

THE EMERGING MARKET SELLOFF Currency performance in emerging markets against the U.S. dollar, as of Feb. 5 close (year-to-date):

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The winding down of an economic stimulus program in the United States is hurting many of the emerging markets that are big buyers of Canadian crops. Starting in January, the U.S. Federal Reserve began tapering back its bond-buying program, which had been injecting $85 billion per month into the U.S. economy. The stimulus program has already been scaled back to $65 billion per month and will likely disappear before the end of this year. Some of the money made its way into the economies and currencies of emerging markets but is now migrating back into the strengthening U.S. economy and the U.S. dollar. “That has caused a lot of currency volatility and quite big drops in the currencies of some of the emerging markets,” said Patricia Mohr, vicepresident of economics at Scotiabank. A strengthening U.S. dollar and weakening local currency have been hard on countries such as Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Turkey and India. “Prices are essentially going up in local currency,” she said. As well, problems are mounting with the increased costs of financing purchases. “Some of these countries have had to put in place quite severe hikes in interest rates,” she said. In January, Turkey’s central bank raised its key interest rate to 12 per-

cent from 7.75 percent to keep inflation in check and support the lira. The move makes it more expensive for importers to obtain credit for buying product. “It creates head winds,” said Mohr. Vijay Iyengar, chair of Agrocorp, a major exporter of Canadian pulses, said what’s happening to the currencies and economies in emerging markets is “terrible” because India is Canada’s top pea buyer and Turkey is the number one destination for Canadian lentils. “It’s a big point of concern.” Iyengar believes sales will continue into those markets but price volatility may increase. The good news is the Canadian dollar has also been falling, which means exporters may be able to drop their prices to help offset the currency volatility overseas.

like pulses and rice and cereal grains, they’ll continue to move into the markets.” However, Al-Katib has previously blamed currency devaluation and credit problems for poor sales performance in emerging markets such as India. Viterra president Kyle Jeworski said his company is selling crop in a deferred position, so he doesn’t expect to see an immediate impact on sales. However, he realizes it could affect future sales to markets such as India and Turkey if they can find cheaper substitutes or increase domestic production. “It is definitely a concern when you see some of the rapid changes and devaluation of some of these currencies,” said Jeworski. “When most of what we trade globally is in U.S. dollars, it is a very serious issue.” He said it’s possible that the governments in emerging market countries could intervene if their falling currencies lead to reduced imports and food price inflation.

Organic prices soar on reduced production BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Prices for most crops plummeted last year, but there is one notable exception. Organic prices have held up nicely and are selling for two to three times the value of their conventional counterparts. “We think this is probably the best news we’ve had in organic agriculture in Western Canada, certainly for 10 years,” said Wally Hamm, a certifier with Pro-Cert Organic. He recently published a comparison of conventional and organic crop prices in the winter 2014 edition of Pro-Cert’s newsletter. His organic price estimates are based on conversations with traders and farm news publications. A sampling of some of the organic prices he listed includes $15 per bushel for spring wheat, $16.50 per bu. for durum, $7.50 for feed barley and $30 for flax. Hamm said those are conservative and dated estimates. There are now spring wheat bids of $22 per bu. and flax bids of $34 per bu. He said a lack of supply in Western Canada because of a mass exodus of farmers from organic production is a major reason why organic prices have held up. “This is a major concern for us as an industry,” he said. “We want to rebuild our production base in Western Canada.” He estimates that Saskatchewan has 1,000 organic producers, down from a peak of 1,300 before organic prices slumped following the 2008 global economic meltdown. It was a 23 percent decline in organic farmers. “Some people might even say higher,” said Hamm.

“We lost a tremendous number, a large percentage of our organic producers.” He thinks a lot of organic land was lost because conventional farmers who wanted to plant more canola offered to rent or buy land at exorbitant prices. As well, a lot of organic supporters are old and the younger generation isn’t interested in continuing with organic farming, especially at a time when conventional prices are so high. “They’ve become conventionalminded. They like the scale, I suppose. Maybe it’s peer pressure,” Hamm said. “But there is definitely a dearth of young people who say, ‘I want to get off the conventional treadmill.’ ” Others in the organic industry have speculated that the wet weather of recent years has caused excessive weed problems, which discouraged growers from staying in organic production. Hamm said the shortage of organic crops is forcing processors to import product from far and wide. He knows of one buyer who was in Argentina a couple of weeks ago looking for wheat. “They’re going wherever they can get it,” he said. Hamm said the demand for organic products remains strong, spurred by growing consumer skepticism over genetically modified crops. He believes the high prices are here to stay and hopes today’s healthy organic premiums will convince more growers to embrace organic production, although the three-year transition rule means it won’t affect supply until 2016. Hamm believes Pro-Cert could attract 100 new clients with a little advertising this year.

MARKETS CORN | PRICE IMPACT

Cattle producers welcome relief from high corn prices Lower prices may bring a switch to soybeans BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Corn prices have fallen $3 per bushel in the last 14 months, putting more money in livestock producers’ pockets. | FILE PHOTO

Building better midge traps.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Cheaper corn prices are expected to improve profitability in the U.S. livestock feeding industry and support cattle expansion in 2015. “There is certainly a lot less anxiety out there in terms of worrying about the impact the price of corn will have on our margins than there was in the last 12 to 18 months,” said Mike Murphy, a grain market analyst with Cattlefax. Corn stocks-to-use ratios around the world are expected to rise to the highest level in four years, he told the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association conference in Nashville Feb. 5. World soybean supplies are expected to rise because of record large crops from Brazil and Argentina. A stabilized corn supply has resulted in a $3 per bushel drop in the last 14 months in the United States. “Now we are the cheapest commodity out there globally so we have seen corn exports up for this current marketing year,” Murphy said. About 1.5 billion bushels were exported last year with expectations for increased shipments in 2014. The 2014-15 crop is expected to add to the stocks if the weather co-operates. However, American farmers

may decide to reduce their corn acreage in favour of soybeans. Murphy said corn plantings may decrease to 93 million acres from 95 million. “That is a response to the economics of planting corn or soybeans,” he said. Price forecasts place corn in a range of $4.10 to $4.75, a drastic change from the 2012 peak spot price of $6.94. Corn use for ethanol will also stabilize. Distillers grain, which is a byproduct of ethanol production, sold at a premium to corn last year. More is likely to be dried down and exported. “Over the long haul we’re going to use more corn for livestock, while usage for the ethanol is not expected to grow,” he said. U.S. hay production improved last year as the drought area receded, but supplies are still at uncomfortable levels and another big production year is needed to rebuild stocks. He expects hay prices to fall, which should improve returns for cow-calf producers. “As long as corn prices stay under pressure here for the remainder of 2014, we will see more pressure on hay prices from a U.S. perspective,” he said. However, some areas may continue to see higher regional prices because of the lasting effects of drought.

USDA ENDING STOCKS | GLOBAL OUTLOOK

Strong U.S. exports trim ending stocks forecast MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

he United States is exporting more corn and wheat than it expected, so it had to trim its expected year-end stocks in the U.S. Department of Agricultural monthly report issued Feb. 10. Canadian farmers, with record amounts of undelivered grain because of an overwhelmed rail system, grit their teeth in envy and frustra-

tion. But they can take heart that at least the global supply-demand outlook in wheat and corn is tightening. Domestic corn stocks-to-use at the end of 2013-14 are now expected to be 11.1 percent, the USDA said, down from 12.4 percent forecast in January and 13.7 percent in December. The global corn ending stock number was cut to 157.3 million tonnes from 160.23 million in January. Global wheat ending stocks were pegged at 183.73 million tonnes, down from 185.4 million. The USDA left its domestic soybean year-end stocks unchanged but tight at 150 million bushels and increased the global carryout slightly. The USDA raised its forecast for Brazil’s soy crop by one million tonnes to 90 million, making it the

world’s largest producer this year, edging out the U.S. It trimmed Argentina’s crop by 500,000 tonnes to 54 million tonnes. However, the forecast for Brazil might be trimmed in the future. It has been dry and hot in southern Brazil. While early harvest in the biggest producing state, Mato Grosso in central Brazil, is showing record yields, the weather is stressing later planted crops in southern states. Twelve percent of Brazil’s crop had been harvested as of Feb. 7, and rain was expected late this week. It will be a few more weeks before the industry knows if the problems in the south will outweigh the good results in Mato Grosso, but at this late stage a huge reduction is unlikely. The tighter wheat stocks in the

USDA report extended the wheat rally. Deteriorating winter crop conditions triggered the rally. It has suffered repeated bouts of severe cold and dryness through its dormancy. The Hays Post of Hays, Kansas, reported that constant wind and lack of snow cover has turned the crop bluish brown in Western Kansas, but other areas of Kansas received welcome snow last week. Winter wheat’s troubles supported the Minneapolis spring wheat futures contract. The old crop March was also supported by speculation that Canada’s transportation problems will send more business to the U.S. Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE FALL Fed cattle prices fell in lackluster trade, with steers averaging $138.14 per hundredweight, down $1.64, but heifers up 61 cents at $138.50. Dressed trade was down $4-$5 per cwt. with Alberta rail prices at about $233. American buyers procured Canadian cattle priced on the U.S. five-area average. Weekly sales volume rose 30 percent to 9,804 head. The Alberta cash-to-futures basis narrowed $2.57 to -$16.53. Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to Feb. 1 fell three percent to 31,594 head. Slaughter is trailing last year’s pace by about 10 percent. Weekly exports to Jan. 25 rose two percent to 7,744 head. Record high beef prices have now made it to the retail level, and consumers are trimming beef purchases. Cattle futures prices have held on fairly well, but beef cutouts took a heavy beating last week. Steer carcass weights are now running 35 pounds

lighter than last year at 845-850 lb. Feedlot managers can leave cattle on feed and add much needed condition to the feedlot supply, which has seen many cattle marketed before their time.

COWS STRONGER Western Canadian non-fed slaughter totalled 8,619 head, the first time this year that weekly kill topped 2013 levels. Demand for higher yielding cows is strong with trade reported in the low $90s. Butcher cows generally rose $1.50 with D1, D2 cows ranging $75-$93 to average $83.33 and D3s ranging $68$79 to average $73.20. Good exports and strong domestic slaughter are keeping front-end supplies current, and there is potential for new record high prices in February and perhaps March.

WHEAT | RESEARCH

CRAIG’S VIEW

Wheat farmers have key role in future of seed breeding

heat, despite its highs and lows through the years, remains an important crop. Its place might have slipped somewhat lately, no longer being the overwhelmingly dominant crop in the West, but it still plays a vital role in rotations and continues to have a place in most profitable operations. According to some at Agriculture Canada, wheat research has failed to keep pace with other major crops. Yields in Western Canada have risen by an average of only .67 percent since 1990. Contrast that with canola, which met its goal of producing 15 million tonnes by 2015 two years ahead of schedule, with 50 bushels per acre now being a high-end but achievable target. Some people predict yields could rise to 70 bu. per ac. in the not too distant future. But today, wheat research seems poised for a resurgence. There’s been talk of new seed genetics that will wake the crop out of its lull. If we are witnessing the next big wave of wheat genetic advancements, as many predict, farmers best be prepared to carve out a niche. Not that there is anything wrong with private corporations being involved in wheat breeding research. Far from it. Corporations have the resources, the labs, the scientists and the production capabilities to provide valuable products. However, farmers must find a way to get a seat at the table. They need guarantees that part of the money they spend for the latest seed technology goes back into the right kind of development. They need to find ways to become investors and decision makers in the process. Farmer organizations, advisory committees and boards of directors of agricultural research agencies certainly go a long way in providing this. New cereal commissions recently set up in each prairie province are now collecting levies, in addition to those collected by the Western Grains Research Foundation. Those organizations are positioned to

Wheat yields have barely increased in the last two decades. | FILE PHOTO protect farmer investments. However, farmers should be cautious about letting too few do too much of the work. It might be easy to become levy weary, especially as commodity prices fall, but seeking a refund of a checkoff lacks a view to the long-term. Publicly available seed is an important aspect of the overall seed business. There are myriad questions to ask from government and private corporations to ensure it remains a viable option. The time for farmers to grab hold of a larger piece of the seed breeding pie is now. Farmers might want to look at taking ownership of their own breeding facilities. Perhaps they should seek guarantees that key products will remain available for public use and design new licensing arrangements with seed breeders. Maybe end point royalties should come into play, in which producers pay seed breeders based on production rather than a set fee for a specific variety. With UPOV 91 appearing likely, the need to ensure that effective public varieties remain available becomes more pressing. Patent protections on private seed are important to encourage a vibrant research and development community, but a readily available supply of public seed is equally as important. Governments also need to step forward and ensure this side of breeding is not left behind. However, farmers must lead the way.

Going paperless doesn’t mean recordless on Taylor ranch COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

went paperless in my office recently, but just for a couple of days. And it happened right before the big annual visit with my tax guy. I didn’t really want to go paperless, but I ran out of ink for the printer on my computer. In a lot of offices, if you run out of ink, you just run down the street or maybe across town to get some.

In a ranch office, if you run out of ink, it’s a 100 kilometre drive to the big city where stores sell things like over-priced ink cartridges and underpriced printers. You can also trade in empty ink cartridges, and aluminum cans, for full ones, but remember your wallet because it takes quite a bit of cash to boot for the trade-in. So, instead of printing, I did up the reports on my computer and emailed PDFs of them to my tax guy and drove to the appointment. In case you don’t know what a PDF is, I just looked it up: portable document format. Whatever, it’s the option QuickBooks gave me when I asked it to email my reports. The appointment with the accountant went well; a year with $2 a pound calves will do that. I’ll always take a

year where I made enough to pay some income tax over one where I didn’t make enough to pay some income tax. However, my paperless visit went papered when I saw the reports printed out from my email when I got there. They obviously had printer ink in their office. We’ve heard for years that all the money we spend on computers and software and mobile devices will pay off, in part, by saving on the cost of paper and ink and filing. I’ve been computerized for a long time, and I don’t think I’ve eliminated enough paper to house train a puppy. Maybe I just need to run out of printer ink more often. As I got to thinking about it, I was raised by a man with some paperless tendencies. He never knew there

was such a word as paperless, but I find examples of his paperless life around the ranch in all kinds of places. I remember moving the steel feed grain bin that sat next to our cattle chute and working alley for years. Most of one side was covered with tally marks and numbers scrawled on it with a lead pencil from all the years of counting the cattle that filed by it. Nothing but tin and a No. 2 pencil. Completely paperless. Dad liked to keep track of the rising cost of parts for his haying machinery and his advanced fleet of two cylinder John Deere horsepower. Inside the doors of an old wooden cupboard in his shop you’ll find those paperless records written on the wood with a big black marker. When he’d replace a head gasket on

his John Deere 60, he’d write the date, and the price of the new one, on the old head gasket and hang it on a peg in the shop. T h e re a re q u i t e a f e w t h i n g s scratched into wood with a jackknife around the ranch, from numbers to key instructions and directions to the deeply carved initials of kids who wanted history to know that “they were there.” Maybe the next time my printer runs out of ink just ahead of a tax appointment, I’ll scratch the year’s important income and expense numbers onto a piece of wood barn siding with my knife. Because going paperless is nothing new for this old ranch. Ryan Taylor is a rancher, writer and senator in the state legislature from Towner, North Dakota.

Breeders’ rights bill protects producers

Crop science industry urges new approach

BY R. K. DOWNEY AND B. L. HARVEY

s long-time public plant breeders, we were pleased to see the tabling of Bill C-18. It contains desirable amendments to the present Plant Breeders’ Rights Act, which will bring Canada into conformity with UPOV 91. Canada is a signatory to this convention but is just now bringing the amendments into force. Thus, the amendments are not something that has not been seen before. Canada is behind our trading partners and competitors: the United States, the European Union, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Russia, and many others. Indeed, Canada will probably need conformity with UPOV 91 as part of future trade agreements. An important amendment protects the producer’s right to save and grow the seed of a protected variety for their own use: Section 5.3 (2) of Bill C-18. The current legislation only permits a farmer’s use of farm-saved seed by not expressly forbidding it, but the new legislation specifically enshrines this privilege. This allows farmers, once they have bought seed of a protected variety, to save, store, clean, treat and plant it indefinitely on land under their control. The amendments allow farmers to sell the harvested grain into the commercial market without paying additional royalties, so long as they obtained the seed legitimately. However, the act prohibits a farmer from transferring harvested seed from the protected variety to anyone

A provision allows a rights holder to exercise rights on a commercial crop but only if seed has been obtained illegally or there has not been a reasonable opportunity to collect royalties earlier in the sales chain. Thus, a right holder would normally collect royalties on the initial sale of seed. However, in exceptional circumstances where this could not be done, there is a provision for later collection, but only once. Opponents of Bill C-18 and the original act claim that producers will be held hostage to private seed companies. That has not happened nor is it likely with the new legislation. More than 45 percent of Canadian

PBR crop applications come from public plant breeders. Royalties on varieties are a key funding source for breeding at public institutions. That will likely fall as the federal government continues to reduce funding and eliminate varietal release programs. However, investments in breeding are expected to increase with the proposed amendments, and channeling additional funds into public breeding and public-private partnerships is expected. The research and breeder’s exemptions are other important sections in the revised PBR legislation. They are carried over from the existing legislation but made more explicit. The research exemption gives other researchers the freedom to conduct research on a protected variety. The breeder’s exemption means that any breeder can use a PBR protected variety to build upon its genet-

ics and develop superior varieties without obtaining permission from the right holder. However, plant breeders have also asked for an important provision that prevents another breeder from reconstituting the protected variety and claiming ownership. Thus, a breeder could not make a minor change to a protected variety and then claim it as a new variety without taking into account the right holder’s right to the original variety. Opponents claim that if breeders gain, then farmers must lose. We believe both will benefit. A fair intellectual property framework ensures that Canada is a desirable place to invest in plant breeding, which will result in more innovation and superior varieties. Most western commodity groups believe the amended PBR legislation should benefit farmers. A more competitive plant breeding environment will result in a greater choice of pest resistant, high yielding varieties with good agronomics to meet their needs for sustainable production and to compete in the global marketplace. We encourage those interested in this issue to read the amended PBR Act contained in Bill C-18. We think you will find it well balanced with benefits for all parties.

Decision pending on Weyburn terminal’s future HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

nother chapter will be added to the story of Weyburn Inland Te r m i n a l Fe b. 2 8 w h e n shareholders vote on a $94.6 million purchase offer from Parrish & Heimbecker. Shareholders usually follow without a lot of argument when a board of directors unanimously recommends such a deal. However, WIT has a history of vigorous debate and surprising decisions, so nothing is assured. A two-thirds majority is needed for the deal to proceed. Deana Driver wrote Just a Bunch of Farmers in 2001 to help commemorate WIT’s 25th anniversary. Based on her interviews, it’s amazing that Can-

ada’s first farmer-owned terminal has remained that way all these years. WIT was built because farmers were fed up with the grain handling system in the 1970s. Elevators were designed for storage rather than throughput, farmers weren’t paid for the protein content of their wheat nor for their dockage, the Canadian Wheat Board was all powerful and many farmers were disenchanted with Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. Many supporters were members of the Palliser Wheat Growers, which later became the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association. Major opposition to the project came from Sask Pool, the National Farmers Union, Saskatchewan’s NDP government and even some churches. Big was bad. It would close down surrounding smaller elevators, and the heavy truck traffic would wreck the road system. Besides, what did a bunch of farmers know about running a terminal? Proponents countered by saying grain handling had to become more efficient, and farmers should be lead-

ing the way. Money was eventually raised and the $5.5 million facility was officially opened in November 1976. However, the critics were right. Farmers didn’t know how to run a first-of-its-kind terminal, and the early years were a calamity of errors. Undercapitalized from the start, WIT paid trucking premiums it couldn’t afford. Equipment malfunctions and staff errors caused expensive grain mixtures. There was a protracted legal battle between WIT and the building contractor, and the accounting system was a shambles. With bickering within the board of directors and high staff turnover, the operation faced bankruptcy several times. In the end, however, hard work, refinancing and dedication saved the day. The company was back on its feet by the early 1980s, only to be hit with many years of drought and low grain volumes. It took until the 1990s for WIT to earn good profits, which spawned numerous expansions and acquisitions. United Grain Growers was poised

to buy up to 40 percent of WIT’s shares in 1998, but farmer shareholders were split on the proposal and the battle was vigorous. In the end, WIT remained entirely independent. What happens Feb. 28 is up to shareholders. The debate is intense: sell and take a good return on investment from a long-standing Canadian grain handler or continue the founders’ original dream? Whatever happens, WIT has had a huge impact: • Most grain is now moved in 100 car blocks that receive freight incentives. • Grain can be cleaned on the Prairies with the screenings used by the local livestock industry. • Farmers are paid for the protein in their wheat and durum. • Farmers can own condominium storage space at terminals. All these advances and more were pioneered by WIT. A bunch of farmers can make a difference. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

othing in farming is simple any more — if it ever was. There have been times, though, when choosing herbicide wasn’t quite so difficult. If you were growing Roundup Ready canola, for instance, you chose Roundup. Simple. Unfortunately, doing things the easy way is coming back to haunt us, in the form of herbicide resistance. Make no mistake: this is a big issue, and if we don’t wrestle it down, it’s going to get bigger. It was one of the primary issues under discussion at the Weed Science Society of America’s annual meeting in Vancouver last week, and while that may not have been a news flash, the ground staked by the chemical companies was. Chemical companies have long advocated, at least officially, for chemical mixing and crop rotation. What’s new is that they are speaking out more assertively on these points, while warning farmers that weed control is about to get a lot more expensive. Easy and cheap weed control is over, the meeting heard. “It will never be that way again,” said Arlene Cotie of Bayer CropScience. Bayer is one of many groups and companies initiating campaigns to encourage farmers to rotate crops — and herbicides. For example, a two-page Cargill ad in the WP last week sported the headline Uproot a Growing Threat: consider herbicide resistance when creating crop protection plans this year. The ad is signed by Cargill’s agronomy manager, Lisa Eastley. If farmers buy this messaging, there is a lot to gain for chemical companies — notably higher margins and the longer-term efficacy of products. That being said, it beats the old mantra. As Agriculture Canada’s Neil Harker noted, this is a philosophical shift for the crop science industry. “What they had been doing is taking the best product and flogging it for as long as it would live,” he told WP reporter Robert Arnason in an interview. Now, their message is that better practices will benefit everyone in the long run. Some might be skeptical over the potential financial boost to the companies’ bottom lines but it is right in principle. Count on hearing more and more about integrated weed management. It’s the right thing to do.

MOVING ON To the Editor: I never intended to weigh in on the

demise of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly. Both sides of that argument have been discussed ad nauseam and it’s time to move on. I was, however, more than a little concerned by some of the remarks from some of the newly elected board of the recently formed Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission. When they equate loss of single desk with diminishing farmer influence, I’m a little confused. Control and influence are not words that one normally associates with a monopoly. Hopefully, the new organization will be able to move ahead, without being hamstrung by a certain ideological agenda, to serve the best

interests of the industry and its stakeholders. Joe Kleinsasser, Rosetown, Sask.

SHAME ON RITZ To the Editor: Two young women who lived on the same farm and who both had an idea for milking cows came to King Gerry Ritz for a judgment. One of the women claimed that the other, after realizing her idea was stupid, had exchanged the two ideas to make it appear that the better milking idea was hers. The other

LET’S MOVE FORWARD To the Editor: Almost everyone these days uncritically accepts that the solution to antibiotic-resistant disease is to use fewer antibiotics. What about using more antibiotics? More varieties, that is. When doctors found penicillin was losing its efficacy as our first line of defence against bacterial infections, the medical community didn’t throw up its hands and use less. New antibiotics were developed. No, not stronger antibiotics. New varieties were developed that kept us ahead of the bacteria that ail us, humans and animals alike, to the point where doctors and veterinarians now have well in excess of 100 antibiotics to rely upon in fighting infection. But now, thanks to overregulation resulting from tax-funded lobbying by anti-antibiotic, naturopathic, homeopathic, sustainability and organic activists, pharmaceutical companies have largely abandoned the development of new antibiotics …. There will always be those who believe we must go backwards so as to move forward. But we never stood still before. Why start now? Let’s keep moving forward on antibiotics.

OWNED AND CONTROLLED To the Editor: Re: “Farmer-run wheat breeding considered” (WP Jan. 16). Many grain farmers have become pawns and indentured to seed corporations. To be an independent farmer, free of dictates that control how they can plant, harvest and save seed, farmers must retain and regain ownership and control of their own seed. Those farmers who still have complete ownership of their seed have a valuable commodity indeed, as well as control, independence and freedom. Grain handling, selling and shipping are the other essentials that farmers have to be diligent about and take control of or they will lose their ability to market freely. Farmers’ rights to their own produce have been eroding through loss of control and ownership of their own produce by large conglomerates. It has troubled me deeply to see how grain farmers were deluded into thinking seed developed by nonfarmer-controlled (NFC) corporations was better than what they

OPINION woman denied this and so both women claimed to be the inventor of the better milking idea. After some deliberation, King Ritz called for a sword to be brought before him. He declared that there was only one fair solution: the better idea must be split in two, each woman receiving half of the idea. The liar, in her bitter jealousy, exclaimed, “It shall be neither mine nor yours — divide it.” However, upon hearing this terrible verdict, the idea’s true inventor cried out, “Oh Lord, give the idea to her, just don’t kill it.” The king gave the idea to the true inventor. King Ritz’s judgment was heard throughout all the idea monopoly lobbyists of Parliament Hill and thought to be wise. But the emperor has no clothes. Gerry Ritz is not a wise king. In promoting the Agricultural Growth Act Bill C-18, he is unwittingly or deliberately falling

for the Monsanto group lobbyist propaganda that an idea is intellectual property. Intellectual, yes; property, no. If you want to keep a nifty milking idea or a new breed of wheat seed to yourself so no one else can use it, that’s fine. It can be your trade secret. But if you give the idea to others, they may use copies of it too without in any way stopping you from using the idea just as before. Real property is not like this. While claiming that he is in favour of the free market and curbing government handouts, what Ritz is doing here is hypocritically giving a hand to strengthen these corporations’ government licensed “idea monopolies” to take money directly out of farmers’ pockets through higher input costs. That’s a pretty big handout. And no, the research shows that patent laws on balance do not stimulate innovation but stifle it by dis-

couraging inventors who don’t want to be victimized by patent lawyers. Shame on Ritz and Bill C-18. Arthur Krolman, Calgary, Alta.

PUBLIC ATTITUDE SHIFTING To the Editor: Re: Prepare for more to succumb to anti-GMO pressure (Jan. 9 WP). A growing number of people are sharing a wide range of opinions and emotions on the topic of genetically modified crops, ranging from enthusiasm and optimism to skepticism and fear. Based on the sheer volume of antiGMO coverage, it is not surprising that Kevin Hursh thinks that more companies and consumers are succumbing to anti-GMO pressure. We

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 13, 2014

don’t feel the same way. Although anti-GMO groups are making headlines with their conspiracy theories and emotionally charged allegations, our industry remains optimistic that strong science and the many benefits of plant biotechnology will prevail. We’ve seen a significant shift in consumers’ attitudes lately. More and more people are actively seeking unbiased, meaningful answers to important questions on GMOs. When our industry provides them with fair and accurate information, they come to realize that products are well regulated and provide important benefits. Consumers understand the many economic and environmental benefits, which are at the heart of why so many Canadian farmers actively choose GM seed varieties. Farmers are able to operate in an environmentally sustainable way

while increasing their yields to produce enough safe and affordable food to feed Canadians as well as people around the world. Anti-GM activists fail to acknowledge the science behind these benefits. They ask for unnecessary warning labels, reduce consumer confidence and hurt an entire industry, even as health organizations around the world have endorsed the safety of GM crops. The tide of public opinion on GM food is turning as consumers are realizing its value. As we approach 20 years of GM foods in the marketplace, we encourage consumers to never settle for anything less than science-based information on foods grown with GM technology. Ted Menzies, President, CropLife Canada, Ottawa, Ont.

PUBLIC SERVICE | REACHING OUT

Churches serve communities SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

resbyterian minister Christine O’Reilly reported to the Senate agriculture committee a few years ago about how church members were a vital volunteer force in her rural Ontario community. Her list included everything from meals on wheels to serving on volunteer boards to working with youth and seniors. Until then, committee members had never thought about how the weft was formed that held the fabric of the community together. Some have worked in recent years to create a chasm between church (or synagogue or mosque) and the community. With militant intent they are quick to scorn what they label as “religious trappings.” Congregations have contributed to the misunderstanding by remaining silent about their members’ countless hours of voluntary service and about the many ways their facilities and resources are made available to the larger community. Cam Harder, in his various writings about families facing bankruptcy, reminds us how local church folk can help give support to desperate people who fear the judgment of friends, neighbours and God. “God loves you and is proud of you,” he reminded one woman who felt abandoned. “Your worth doesn’t depend on how well you managed the farm or how well markets and weather co-operated. Your worth is “a gift given to you by God.” He then describes the many ways the local congregation can help lift the pain of silent oppression and judgment that weighs heavily on everyone touched by the situation. Churches and their members can and do try to live out the Christ story of love and hope within the specific realities of our world.

TRADE | CHINESE NEGOTIATIONS

China missing from list of Canadian trade deals Federal official calls country unique case | Participants at trade conference encourage Ottawa to take next step with China BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Commodity groups applaud the federal government for its work on negotiating free trade agreements but say there is one noticeable omission. Cameron MacKay, director general of the Trade Negotiations Bureau at Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, recently provided an update on Canada’s FTA negotiations. He told delegates attending the 2014 Saskatchewan Agriculture

Trade Summit that Canada has 11 agreements in force and is in ongoing negotiations on another 11. That prompted a question from the audience. “I can’t help but to notice that China is not on the list,” said Jim Everson, vice-president of government relations with the Canola Council of Canada. MacKay said China is a trading partner that can’t be ignored. In fact, it is Canada’s second biggest partner behind the United States. There has been an ongoing dia-

logue with the Chinese government and there are trade commissioners on the ground to support Canadian exporters. But there are plenty of hurdles when it comes to negotiating an FTA with the economic powerhouse. “China is really unique. It presents challenges that no other economy and no other nation presents to Canada,” said MacKay. “We have to be very careful about how we move ahead with China. We don’t want to make mistakes.” Patti Miller, president of the Canola

Council of Canada, said the government is doing a terrific job on negotiating deals and providing the support that keeps trade flowing. But she said bilateral trade discussions with China have been on the back burner while the Canadian government focuses on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement. She thinks it is time to take the next step and start FTA negotiations with China, which is Canada’s largest canola customer. MacKay said Canada is hard at work negotiating a number of agree-

A little bit of fusarium can affect an entire harvest. Luckily, so can one treatment of Caramba.

For cereal growers with high production goals, Caramba® is the fungicide that best optimizes grade, yield and quality. It defends against fusarium head blight (FHB) and is proven to reduce deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in grain. Caramba provides unparalled prevention and control of late season leaf diseases. Plus, growers who use Caramba have experienced yield increases of up to 3 to 4 bushels per acre versus untreated wheat. So don’t leave the fate of your harvest up to chance – trust it to Caramba.

ments but the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the European Union dwarves all others. “It is the most important trade agreement we have negotiated since the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) by far,” he said. It is far more comprehensive than NAFTA and will be a benchmark for future FTAs. CETA will eliminate more than 95 percent of EU agricultural tariffs when fully implemented, including immediate duty-free treatment for canola oil and all processed beef and pork. Durum and high quality wheat will be locked in at a duty-free rate and substantial tariffs on low and medium quality wheat, rye, barley and oats will be phased out over seven years. The agreement establishes dutyfree quotas for beef, pork, bison and sweet corn. An agreement in principal was signed on Oct. 18, 2013, but it will likely be two years before it comes into force while negotiators finalize technical issues, lawyers vet the document, translators translate it into 23 languages and parliaments in both regions approve the pact. Completing the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement is the next focus for the federal government. “It’s definitely the next big thing. The opportunities in Asia of course are enormous,” said MacKay. There are about 800 million people in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which includes Canada, Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam. “We are optimistic that we will be concluding the TPP deal soon.” Canada is also negotiating a separate bilateral FTA with Japan, which deals with trade issues not included in the TPP. There have been several rounds of negotiations on a FTA with India, which is Canada’s largest pulse crop market. “Negotiations are going slowly, frankly and the Indians are heading into an election in April or May of this year,” said MacKay. There are also ongoing negotiations with Ukraine, Morocco, Israel, the Caribbean community, Cost Rica and a collection of other Central American countries. MacKay said bilateral agreements are important but the federal government is still committed to concluding the DOHA round of negotiations at the World Trade Organization. He said more progress was made at the Bali Ministerial Conference in December 2013 than many people realize with the signing of the Trade Facilitation Agreement. “This is an agreement in which all 160 members will take on certain obligations to cut red tape at the border,” said MacKay. “Some people may find that dull but that’s typically where trade gets held up is at the border.” The World Bank estimates that 40 percent of the value of a WTO agreement is captured in that Trade Facilitation Agreement. “This frankly was no small success. It was a significant one,” he said.

ANIMAL WELFARE | MANITOBA CONVICTION

Animal cruelty case results in jail time Incident appalls industry | Veterinarian says there are many kinds of animal welfare problems BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba’s top animal welfare officer hopes jail time for a farmer convicted of cruelty will highlight the farming community’s revulsion. However, he also hopes the agriculture community keeps the human toll of animal suffering in mind when thinking about disease, neglect and deliberate abuse. “It was an injury to the community at large,” Dr. Terry Whiting, Manitoba Agriculture’s manager of animal health and welfare, told reporters at the Manitoba Swine Seminar when talking about the conviction of a farmer for allowing 67 of his cattle to die and the rest of the herd to be in dire straits by the time authorities intervened. Thomas Jeffrey McLean of Pilot Mound, Man., was sentenced to a 45-day intermittent jail sentence following a case of extreme neglect in 2011. Whiting, who investigated the case, described it as “appalling.” He said he hopes the conviction and jail time aren’t just seen by the farming community as punishment for an offender but as a powerful statement of what people in agriculture consider to be unacceptable. “To prosecute someone, you have to do something that is appalling to cattle farmers in general, and this guy’s behaviour was beyond the pale,” said Whiting. Farmers in the local area were upset by what happened, especially those who knew the well-respected herd, but Whiting said animal suffering also hurts farm workers who deal with animals dying naturally of disease. He told hog farmers at swine seminar to think about the toll it takes on barn workers who face mass piglet deaths from porcine epidemic diarrhea virus. “ Yo u w o rk i n a nu r s e r y b a r n because you love pigs,” Whiting said. “These middle-aged women who work in nursery barns, they can bring piglets back from the friggin’ dead.… For these people to experience 100 percent pig loss in the nursery is brutal. It’s an injury that nobody mentions.” Hog farmers need to ensure that their workers are OK handling the death and suffering if PED shows up in Manitoba. Whiting also said farmers need to ensure they’re not unintentionally causing suffering or discomfort to animals because they can no longer handle all the demands of farming as they age. He said the biggest group of farmers who fail to meet expectations for acceptable treatment of animals is bachelor farmers older than 75. “We have a lot of them and that’s their life. They have nothing else,” Whiting told reporters. “They hang on to their cattle as an anchor to keep them from elder care

because they want to stay on the farm.” Whiting said veterinary officials can work with farmers who are losing their ability to manage to ensure animals don’t suffer. “I just spend some time with them and convince them that, ‘you’re 85 and you can’t calve out 150 cows anymore,’ ” he said.

RESEARCH | WHEAT A NEW PRIORITY

Agriculture research expected to focus on wheat Long-term research needed | Other research priorities may include nutrient management and ‘enabling technologies’ BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Wheat development is one of five or six long-term projects that agricultural research will boil down to in the next few years, says soil scientist and professor Bill McGregor. The crop has already been at least partially established as a research focal point through last year’s formation of the Canadian Wheat Alliance at the University of Saskatchewan, McGregor told a University of Lethbridge audience Feb. 7.

He said only four or five countries export wheat, and Canada should retain its goals of quality and quantity. “I think every major company in the world, at 2008, roughly, and on, has figured out that wheat has been under-resourced, so if we’re going to stay where we are, we’re going to have to play the game and hopefully we can expand the game.” McGregor referred to 10 to 15 year research projects, but wheat breeder Rob Graf said 10 years would be the minimum to achieve innovation in

wheat varieties and hybrids. It’s one reason typical five-year funding cycles are a problem. “Even 10 years is almost unrealistic,” said Graf. McGregor was less specific in his predictions about the other projects on which agricultural research will focus. Nutrient management is a likely possibility, as are “enabling technologies” that explore and develop drought tolerant and cold tolerant crop varieties. McGregor, who has a 40-year career

in soil science with universities and seed companies, is the U of L’s first “agri-scientist in residence,” and spent a week in southern Alberta talking about agricultural research and careers. He said agricultural researchers may narrow their focus in the future because of reduced public funding for basic research and the need for farm organizations and private industry to target their resources. “I think what we’ve really got is two areas.… I think the basic (research) is government funded and short-term

is producer funded. The big problem is making sure we have scientists that can do applied research,” McGregor said after his public address. “Where we really struggle and where I think everybody’s got frustration is that area in the middle, which really requires long-term focused research that’s got to have an application at the end.” Determining the focus of long-term research will require industry leadership and the fortitude to put resources toward an uncertain outcome. It will also require more collaboration.

Agricultural innovation needs more promotion BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Soil biochemist and former Dow AgroSciences Canada researcher Bill McGregor thinks the agriculture industry doesn’t brag enough. Farming research and technology have resulted in major boosts to productivity and quality, but it isn’t common knowledge among an increasingly urban population. “I don’t think we really stand up and take credit for what we do,” he said in a Feb. 7 speech at the University of Lethbridge. “I think we are way, way too bashful in promoting our own abilities and what we’ve done.” He said that modesty and failure to publicize agricultural innovation has resulted in a shortage of graduate students interested in agriculture research as a career. Numbers tell the tale of production improvement. Canadian land in fallow dropped to six million acres in 2012 from 11 million in 1999, 21 million acres in 1986 and 27 million in 1975. McGregor said the increased productivity was a result of improved farming practices made possible through research and innovation including fertilizer and chemical use. Average wheat yield has almost doubled in the past 35 years to 33 to 42 bushels per acre. Canola has seen similar increases in average yield, while pulses have grown from a minor crop to a major one. McGregor said there are major opportunities for Canadian agriculture to thrive as the world population grows because of its sound production system and a well-educated producer base. However, it will be difficult to achieve the same increases in productivity as has been seen in the past. Weed and insect resistance to chemical controls is part of that, but so is agriculture’s image problem, which prevents it from attracting researchers and innovators. “The industry has not done a good job of improving science literacy and awareness among the general public,” McGregor said.

SASKATCHEWAN AGRICULTURE TRADE SUMMIT | MONITORING PROGRAM

Sask. premier supports grain handling initiative Backlog a priority | Brad Wall says the province depends on exports and wants immediate action to improve rail service BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall has thrown his support behind recently announced federal initiatives aimed at improving rail service for agricultural shippers. Wall told the 2014 Saskatchewan Agriculture Trade Summit in Saskatoon that a record harvest is straining the transportation system. He said the Saskatchewan government supports Ottawa’s efforts to enhance the grain-monitoring program and increase the amount of information that railways are required to provide on grain movement and car spotting performance. However, more action is needed to clear up a backlog of grain that is waiting to be moved to port from western Canadian farms and prairie terminals, he added. “The success and growth of our agriculture industry and province depends on getting our products to port to be shipped throughout the world,” Wall said. “We fully support the federal government in any measures they can take to address this situation (and) … we recognize efforts are underway to develop a long-term plan for the future, as we anticipate these larger crops will become the norm.

BRAD WALL SASKATCHEWAN PREMIER

“However, further action is necessary to clear up the immediate backlog as soon as possible. We will continue to work to find a solution with stakeholders, including the federal government, grain companies, railways and port authorities.” Insufficient grain movement and railway performance have emerged as key issues this winter as farmers and grain companies attempt to market last year’s record harvest. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz recently announced that Ottawa will support steps proposed by the Crop Logistics Working Group aimed at improving the performance of the crop supply chain.

RURAL ENTERPRISE | ART

Life is fragile for artists called to create Balancing act | Couple combines desire for creativity with sustaining a rural lifestyle BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CUPAR, Sask. — Swirls of intense hues spiked with glitter fill the blown glass hearts ready for Valentine’s Day markets. Artist Jacky Berting transforms plain glass into curling stones, vases and earrings of various sizes, types and colours in a house turned studio on an acreage outside Cupar. She established Berting Glass in 1992 after the unveiling of her Glass Wheatfield, A Salute to Farmers, which included 14,000 waist-high glass wheat stalks and took her several years to make. Berting said the wheat helped cement a full-time career as an artist. “I was really lucky. Wheat was really a blessing. It’s such a popular Saskatchewan gift,” she said. “We hit on things and it’s made all the difference.” She derives inspiration from the prairie that surrounds her 18 acre property, which includes the home where she raised two sons with her artist husband, Jim Clark, as well as their studio and show room and a detached shop for transforming molten glass. Sketches abound in an upstairs room, while Clark’s newest work in whimsical characters is displayed in the basement. The couple’s creations are also displayed in a former living room. Clark, who is turning glass in a blazing furnace this day, is also a metal artist. Those skills allowed them to create larger pieces such as chandeliers, room partitions and tables. “Jim’s a man of many talents,” said Berting, who doubted that their work would be feasible without him creating and adapting machines to make the creations they sell. “We are able to do so many things,” Clark said. “All of it together makes a business.” He enjoys the rural lifestyle, which includes helping his farm neighbours during their busy times. “We’re up at 6 a.m. and can sit with each other for an hour,” he said. “There’s no rushing through the day. Days are long but not hurried.” Berting received formal art training, where she was drawn to glass blowing. She can be found in her studio most days, surrounded by a burly dog and a bevy of cats and wielding a torch while hand fashioning her signature glass wheat pieces. Berting balances the more commercial side of her business with side projects, sketching and creating one

of a kind pieces. “I accept it as part of our business.” She is helped by two part-time workers from the rural area. For Clark, art settles a busy mind. “I’m a fast mover, it slows my mind down,” he said. For him, art is more than just making money. “Money can’t be your ultimate priority. I love to create things,” he said. Berting agreed but keeps a sharp pencil on her business’s bottom line. “I do care a bit more, as I do all the bookkeeping and am pretty much forced to concern myself with bill paying, et cetera. “Also, we do have many bills each month and there is never an abundance of money. This is an expensive craft to be in.” Berting agreed that art is engrained in her, cultivated from her early days on the farm in St. Gregor, Sask., where she was given free rein to play with wax, plaster and clay from her father’s taxidermy hobby. Her parents also dabbled in sketching, painting and carving. “I don’t think I could do anything

Most artists have to make. If not making, they’re not happy. JIM CLARK ARTIST

else. Art is what’s calling,” she said. For Clark, art was also calling while working full-time for Ipsco. “I was a crane operator in body but not in soul,” he said, citing his other work during that time in commercial photography and sculpting. “Most artists have to make,” he said. “If not making, they’re not happy.” The couple’s rural location has complicated marketing efforts because couriers will not come to the acreage. However, the bus and post office have been their saviours, transporting their art to market. “We send hundreds of parcels each year,” said Clark. Sales in their 20 years of business have fluctuated, falling off in 2009-10 because of bad economic times.

Jim Clark uses a hollow steel tube to shape molten glass into blown glass before returning it to the furnace. “These are luxury items,” said Berting. They market through their website, craft and wholesale shows and word of mouth and have their items in more than 80 stores in Canada. Debbie Ohlhausen, owner of Dif-

ferent Strokes in Olds, Alta., was drawn to Berting’s wheat because of her own farming roots. She said Berting’s work is well received in her art boutique. “It seems to really speak to people in the Prairies,” said Ohlhausen.

CHRONIC BACK PAIN | ACCESS TO SERVICES

Study examines rural services for back pain BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Brenna Bath is studying ways to improve services for rural residents with chronic back pain. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTO

Rural residents are 30 percent more likely than their urban neighbours to have back pain, a condition that affects 20 percent of the Canadian population. Brenna Bath, associate professor in the University of Saskatchewan’s School of Physiotherapy, said farmers are a high risk group because of the physical nature of their jobs. She said they also may not have access to health-care plans and workers compensation programs because they are self-employed. As well, wait times for publicly funded physical therapy clinics can be long.

Bath said 90 percent of Saskatchewan physiotherapists practice in urban centres, with the majority in Saskatoon and area. Researchers hope to bridge the service gap between rural residents with chronic back pain and their access to physical therapy. Bath is leading a team studying three care options in the Kelsey Trail Health Region in northeastern Saskatchewan: traditional care with a nurse practitioner, urban physiotherapists delivering care in person in rural regions and access to physiotherapists and nurse practitioners via a Telehealth conference. Telehealth can be used for clinical appointments, consultations, fol-

lowups, meetings and continuing education programs, which allow rural and remote patients to remain in their own communities. “Video conferencing is an exciting technology. It’s not new, but it’s underutilized,” she said. Bath said the research could affect patient care well beyond provincial borders by creating new primary health-care models. She said most people with back pain seek help from family doctors, but there are other options. “They don’t necessarily have the same level of training in musculoskeletal assessment as physiotherapists,” she said. “Rather than look at the doctor, we might look to multi-

disciplinary teams.” Her own clinical experience outside Saskatoon showed that the majority of those referred to orthopedic specialists did not require surgery, and many had difficulties in accessing physiotherapy in rural areas. “They go back to communities that don’t have access to services considered as ideal management,” said Bath. The Kelsey Trail Health Region was selected because of its distance from urban centres and the low number of physiotherapists. Colleen Naber, director of therapies for the health region, said there is a nationwide shortage of physiotherapists. She said her region operates at 60 percent of normal staffing levels because of people going on leave and competition with city jobs. “Today I’m being three people,” Naber said. “We cannot provide the services to that heath region the way that we would like to. As soon as you have a person going on leave, we can’t backfill.” Bath said video conferencing is a new concept for Saskatchewan, but a similar system is in place in Ontario following hip and knee replacement surgery. This spring, the study will seek volunteer participants for whom back pain has impaired their daily life and function for at least three months or more. The Kelsey Trail Health Region, with a population of 40,000, has 32.2 physical therapists per 100,000 population compared to 83.2 physical therapists per 100,000 in the Saskatoon Health Region. The study, which includes researchers in psychology, physiotherapy and economics disciplines at the U of S, will look at what type of care works best in different situations, patient satisfaction, costs of delivering care and costs for patients who must commute for therapy. The Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation has funded the project, which also received $30,000 from the Ralston Brothers Medical Research Fund Competition. Funding will buy a teleconferencing unit, which will remain in the Arborfield and District Health Care Centre after the study is completed in 2016.

UGANDAN DAIRY | ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

Farm promotes green living Cow dung is used for fertilizer and solar power provides electricity BY ANNE COTE FREELANCE WRITER

KASHARI COUNTY, Uganda — A Ugandan dairy is attempting to lead a green wave in central Africa. Philomina Nshangano, senior manager and owner of Rubyerwa Dairy, is trying to make her 200 acre mixed farm a model for others to emulate by promoting environmentally responsible farming practices and innovation. She is active in local agriculture organizations such as the Mbarara District Farmers’ Association, which educates farmers on how to improve their incomes. The primary business at the dairy is breeding dairy cattle for sale, but it also has a milking herd. The major source of income is the mainly private sales of bulls and pregnant heifers to other dairy farmers. Nshangano said she hadn’t considered an auction. “How would I have an auction by myself,” the 71-year-old said. Bulls bring one million Uganda shillings ($440 Cdn) apiece, she said, but the real money makers are the pregnant heifers. “As soon as I’ve confirmed pregnancy, which is about the three month mark, I sell them,” she said.

“I get about four million UGX ($1,800) for them.” The farm has 24 to 30 cows, which are milked by hand three times a day. Nshangano said the herd produces 400 litres a day, which includes the milk consumed on the farm and milk saved for calves. Calves are brought into the milking area to nurse after the initial milking is complete. She runs the farm with the help of her adult children. Her husband died in 1989, and after she retired from her job in Kampala, she moved to the farm to take over its management. The family has devised several ways to improve the rural environment. The major source of fuel for cooking and powering generators is wood or charcoal. Bags of charcoal are sold along the major roadways and brought into the city markets in Kampala and Entebbe by truck, bicycle and small motorbikes. At Rubyerwa Dairy, charcoal is only used for baking bananas, a process that takes hours, said Nshangano. The rest of the family cooking is done on an indoor gas stove fuelled by biogas created on the farm. Each day, three wheelbarrows of cow dung as well as napier grass are put into a cistern, which is located a few metres from the milking stalls. As they decay, the gas that rises from the

mixture travels up a pipe to the farm house. The remaining slurry runs down a concrete trough to a collection pool and eventually is used to fertilize the farm’s napier grass crop. A cow dung and grass mixture also provides fertilizer for the banana plantation, feeding the trees and creating a mat that retards the growth of weeds. Bananas are a staple food in Uganda, so the farm’s plantation provides both food and extra income for the family. Electricity isn’t readily available so electricity for Nshangano’s home is generated by solar panels. Rubyerwa Dairy is a large farm when compared to the small farms that surround it. More than 18,000 farmers work in the Mbarara district, many of them only one to two acres with fewer than five cows each. Milk prices are volatile because they are set by the milk processing plants. “They ‘collude’ on price,” Nshangano said. “They speak the same language.” Milk prices in Kashari County, where the dairy is located, were 1,000 UGX (45 cents) per litre in early October. By the first week in November, 2013, they had dropped to 400 UGX

Mutabarura and her son, Mr. Mutabarura. | ANNE COTE PHOTOS (18) per litre. “I can’t tell you why it dropped,” Nshangano said. When agriculture prices are low, it’s usually the men who look for ways to increase the family’s income with off-farm earnings. Women provide 60 percent of the manual labour on small Ugandan farms, where hoes and machetes are the primary tools. To ensure they have food security, Nshangano’s family maintains a large garden, where they grow zucchini and other small squash, potatoes and tree fruit for their own consumption. A small goat herd supplies meat and milk. In five years, Nshangano would like to increase milk production to 700 litres per day and sell at least 20 pregnant heifers and 25 bulls a year.

A worker at Rubywera Dairy helps a calf nurse. Her children are now on the board that manages the farm, and she wants one or more of them to have complete control of the farm by then so she can retire.

FARM LIVING ON THE FARM | ORGANIC, LOCAL

On-farm millers prefer safe, steady growth Couple ponders expansion to meet growing demand for locally milled organic grains BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

TREHERNE, Man. — The flour mill on Fran DeRuyck’s farm looks more

like a hospital operating room with its pristine white walls, gleaming stainless-steel equipment and institutional flooring. Completing the hygienic picture, DeRuyck wore white pants and donned a white mask as she poured flour into a 50-pound bag inside the garage-sized mill. The bag will be trucked to customers in Winnipeg who have developed an appetite for DeRuyck’s line of organic flour and grain, which is sold to bakeries and retailers in Manitoba, Ontario and British Columbia. Fran, her husband, Dan, and his parents, Gerry and Marie, have been growing organic grain and milling wheat, oats, spelt and rye for more than a decade near Treherne. They also clean and process buckwheat and flax and sunflowers. The DeRuycks have cultivated a base of loyal customers by tapping into demand for organic food, but they have a marketing card that trumps organic: they are local. “You can buy President’s Choice organic, but what does that mean?” Dan said. “There’s no connection (to a farm).” In comparison, the DeRuyck name on a five lb. bag of flour provides customers with a narrative. “There’s a story behind it (the grain),” Dan said. “We try and meet (customers) as much as we can.” He said people recognize their truck when they drop flour off at the Tall Grass Prairie bakery in Winnipeg. “They see our name on the truck … and they say thank you,” he said. “I think that’s the best part of the job … just to talk to people.” Dan laughed when he was asked if they have a marketing campaign to promote their brand. “We’re very low key. We don’t advertise. We’re busy enough as it is.” Laura Telford, a Manitoba Agriculture business development specialist for organic marketing, said organic and local is a powerful trend. “There are organic associations in different parts of the country who are really pushing that message,” she said. For example, Foodland Ontario, a local food initiative, now has a Foodland Ontario organic brand. “Different provinces are really capitalizing on this.” Sitting at their kitchen table as wind whipped snow across the farmyard in late January, Dan explained how he became an organic farmer, processor and marketer. He left the family farm near Treherne in the 1980s to become a mechanic in Brandon. While there he met Fran, who was raised on a farm near Baldur, Man. After living in Brandon and working nine to five jobs, they decided to try farming in 1988. They rented land for several years and then bought a

FARM LIVING quarter section south of Treherne, close to the farm where Dan grew up. Dan operated a mixed farm with pigs, cattle and grain with his parents for nearly a decade, but in the early 2000s his father switched to organic production. “The scale of our farm wasn’t that big. We were doing about 1,500 acres,” Dan said. “The margins were just too tight…. (So) Dad tried a little 20 acre field (of organic wheat), harvested it, cleaned it and took his bag of wheat to a couple of bakeries…. That’s basically how it all started.” A year or two later, Gerry built the small mill inside a garage next to his farmhouse, and by 2004 he couldn’t grow enough to satisfy demand in Manitoba. Dan and Fran responded by converting their farm to organic. “By 2006, we had our first organic crop,” Dan said. “Eventually we ended up selling everything we (grew), plus Dad’s, and now we’re getting other farmers to grow for us too…. We clean it and process it and make it into flours or flakes, or whatever the bakeries want.” The DeRuycks now farm 700 acres and also run a small herd of grass fed cattle. They contract neighbours to grow organic grains and oilseeds, which are sold under the DeRuyck family brand. Fran said the switch to organic was an economic decision because conventional farming was a financial struggle. “I was having to work out,” said Fran, who was employed as a teaching assistant but now operates the farm’s oat roller and flour mill. “(Now) I’m the milling queen,” she said with a chuckle. Dan said organic wasn’t a difficult choice because he disliked pesticides. “I just hated spraying, with a passion. I could find any (reason) to get out of it,” he said. “I never felt well when I sprayed.” The DeRuycks are now at the “what

now” stage of business development. Their four children have left the farm, so Dan and Fran have more time to dedicate to the enterprise. “That’s the million dollar question. How big do we want to get?” Dan said. Rather than increase their acres under organic production, they’ve decided to process more grain and oilseed. Fran said organic processing is a missing link in Manitoba’s supply chain. “The farmers, they want to farm. They don’t want to be marketing, they don’t want to be processing and they don’t want to deal with the people,” she said. “That’s what we do.” The DeRuycks are filling the gap by expanding the processing plant. Machines now clean, de-hull, sort and package grain, but Dan wants to triple capacity and develop a grain flow system to handle more product. “The markets are coming to the point that we need something … more efficient to meet the (demand),” he said. He sees opportunities in Manitoba and overseas. “I think Europe is going to be coming on stronger in the next few years.” Telford said the DeRuycks’ “do it yourself” model, in which they process and market their own line of products on the farm, may become a dominant trend in organic and conventional agriculture. “They’re at the leading edge of the curve … taking advantage of this growing local food movement … doing the value-added at home, even for something like grains (that) we traditionally just export,” she said. They may be innovators, but Dan and Fran are also cautious prairie folks. They intend to expand at a safe and steady pace. “We like to walk slowly and play it year by year,” Fran said, adding they aren’t locked into a 10-year business plan. “It’s PC around here: plans change.”

REAL ESTATE | BUYING, SELLING

Using a lawyer for real estate transactions can reduce risks A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

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

Why would I use a lawyer to assist me in buying or selling real estate?

If you are selling, the lawyer makes sure that you get your money. If you are buying, the lawyer makes sure that you get good title to your property. But the duty of a lawyer is much larger than that. If you are purchasing, obtaining good title includes making sure that the property you are buying does not have any builders’ or tax liens or any other encumbrances that could affect your ownership. If there are debts owed by the previous owners, which have been registered against the land you are buying, those debts need to be paid off and discharged from title in the same way as the previous owner’s mortgage needs to be paid

out and discharged. Are the taxes in arrears? They will have to be paid out at the time the purchase goes through and that must be done off the top of the purchase money to which the sellers are entitled. At the time of purchase, a lawyer on behalf of the buyer will determine whether there needs to be a holdback for non-resident tax purposes if the seller is not a resident of Canada. In addition to all these considerations, the lawyer will also deal with the mortgage company, make sure that the mortgage is properly documented and registered on title and ensure the necessary funds are in his or her trust account before placing the transfer and mortgage into the land titles system for registration. They will make sure the other side gets the money, subject to paying out whatever is necessary to give you clear title. If you are selling, the lawyer prepares the transfer and makes sure you get your money. In addition, a lawyer will be checking other things surrounding the sale. Are there requirements to be met with regard to the Homestead or Dower Acts involving a spouse whose family home is being sold but

who is not on the title? Is this sale in an estate situation and are there requirements for beneficiary approval under devolution of real property legislation? Your lawyer will make sure that all requirements are met to give the buyer good title, sometimes including the negotiation of amounts necessary to retire liens or other debts registered against the title. If it is necessary to grant possession before the seller receives all his money, the lawyer will make sure that all safeguards are in place such as insurance on the property, cash to close in the other lawyer’s trust account and sufficient funds to pay interest to the sellers for late payment of funds if such a provision was in the offer to purchase. The basic transaction to transfer title to someone else is relatively simple, but the attending safeguards and protection of your interests are best done by a lawyer. In most cases, their fees will be fairly reasonable and assessed relative to the value of the property. This article is presented for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

SLEEP | NIGHTMARES, NIGHT TERRORS

Receding gums a health issue?

Night terrors not sign of deeper issue

HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

My dentist says my gums are receding and has referred me to a periodontist. Can this condition affect my physical health as well as my dental health? I am a 55-year-old male.

By the age of 55, most people suffer from receding gums to some extent. Men are also more likely to suffer from periodontal disease than women. This condition varies from mild inflammation of the gums like gingivitis to a more serious situation called periodontitis, where gums recede from the teeth and empty pockets form that can become infected. If this is not treated, bacteria will eventually eat away at the bones and connective tissues that hold the teeth in place. The teeth may become loose and need to be extracted. Your periodontist can discuss treatment options, which could involve minor surgery. Whether gum disease can affect your physical health is controversial and not proven at this point. I have heard dentists use this theory as a scare tactic to make you visit their offices more fre-

quently for teeth cleaning. Some researchers have noticed that people with bad gums and teeth are more likely to develop heart disease or late onset Type 2 diabetes, but it may be a chicken and egg situation. Which comes first? It is likely diabetics have eaten sweets and candies in the past that have affected their teeth and given them high blood sugar. People with heart disease are more likely to be overweight or obese. Some medications, such as those used for the treatment of epilepsy, can also cause swollen and inflamed gums. More research is needed to determine whether periodontal disease leads to serious health problems.

PUZZLING ITCH

How do you begin to diagnose or determine what caused a series of small sore, itchy marks on the inside of my upper arm? And how do you treat what appears to be something like spider or mouse bites? If that’s the case, I have no idea when or where they might have made contact with me. I am a teenage girl.

This could be anything from insect bites to poison ivy. I would rule out a mouse bite, because if a mouse bit you, you would certainly know it. I would try a mild hydrocortisone ointment or calamine lotion.

SPEAKING OF LIFE

Children wake up and remember nightmares but sleep through a night terror and settle down after a few minutes of thrashing.

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

My s o n a n d h i s w i f e t e l l me that our three-year-old grandson has night terrors. They do not happen every night but when they do it is a concern for anyone around him. He will start screaming uncontrollably and thrashing around in his bed. It’s frightening. I expect to look after my grandson occasionally and I look forward to doing so but I am nervous about these night terrors. How should I handle them?

Night terrors are relatively rare. Only about three to six percent of children have them. Usually kids struggle with night terrors between the ages of four and 11, although some children as young as 18 months old have them. To understand night terrors, you need to understand that sleep is a cyclical process, floating every night between deep sleeps (called rapid eye movement sleep) and light sleep (called non-REM sleep). During the night, we go between REM and non-REM. Our most restful times are likely during REM. This

FILE PHOTO

is also that time during the night when we are most likely to have both dreams and nightmares. Night terrors come during nonREM sleep. A night terror is not a nightmare but an overwhelming sense of fear. It’s not particularly directed to any one object or person. In other words, there is no substance to the fears roused in night terrors. They just happen. We do not know what causes night terrors but researchers have noticed that at times they are familial and often found within extended families. The grandparents or parents may have had night terrors when they were younger. At times, night terrors appear to be related to overstimulation following an unusually exciting day. Sometimes they may be related to changes in the child’s medications. If you are looking after your grandchild and he has a night terror, remember that you can do nothing

about it. It will not hurt your grandson and it does not mean that anything major is wrong with him. Don’t wake him up and don’t try to comfort him. That will only confuse him and he may have trouble getting back to sleep. Keep him safe, make sure that he does not hurt himself while he is thrashing around and then leave him alone to resolve it himself. He will sleep through the night terror, and then he will settle down. He will not remember it when he wakes up. Night terrors happen two to three hours after the child has gone to sleep. Nightmares happen closer to the morning of the new day. If your grandson has a nightmare, comfort him. If he has a night terror, let him work it out.

soup and sandwich special at a local cafe is true comfort food but cooking from scratch allows complete control of

nutrition content, fat, sodium and calories. The following soups can be ma d e at h o m e a d ay o r t w o i n advance and also freeze well. Add a hearty bread to increase the fibre or reduce the serving size for smaller appetites or calorie counters.

PORK SCHNITZEL SANDWICH 1 c. 1 clove 1 tsp. 1 tsp. 1/2 tsp.

buttermilk 250 mL garlic, crushed dried mustard 5 mL salt 5 mL pepper 3 mL several shakes of hot sauce 4 boneless pork loin chop, pounded 1/4 inch thick (2 cm)

cooking oil suitable for frying 1/2 c. flour 125 mL 4 crusty buns Mix together buttermilk, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper and hot sauce in a zippered bag. Add pork and marinate eight to 24 hours. Marinating step can be skipped, but the sandwich won’t be as good. Heat 1/2 inch (3 cm) of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. While oil is heating, remove pork from bag, drain. Dredge in flour. Fry pork for two minutes on one side, then flip and fry another two minutes. The pork should brown nicely. If it does not brown, the oil isn’t hot enough. If it browns too fast, the oil is too hot. Serve on crusty buns with fresh or caramelized onions, lettuce and mayonnaise, if desired. Garnish with dill pickle.

WILD MUSHROOM SOUP 2 - 3 c. chicken 500 – 750 mL broth 3 leeks, well rinsed and dried 1 onion 1/4 c. unsalted butter 60 mL 3 tbsp. flour 45 mL 2 c. beef stock 500 mL 1 lb. crimini or 400 g brown mushrooms 1 oz. dried mixed wild 30 g mushrooms sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste heavy cream chives or thyme for garnish, optional

IT’S THE GROUP 2 WITH THE #1 PUNCH.

Soak dried mushrooms in 1/2 cup (125 mL) hot water until soft. Save soaking water. Dice leeks, white part only, and onion and cook over medium heat in butter until soft. Add roughly chopped mushrooms, soaked dried mushrooms and continue to cook until the mushrooms are soft. Sprinkle with flour. Stir and cook five minutes. Add reserved mushroom soaking liquid, chicken stock and beef stock. Cook for about 30 minutes or until mushrooms are thoroughly cooked. Cool. Puree in batches in a food processor.

SaskMustard recently honoured Kevin Falk for research with brassica carinata. Falk and colleagues at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Saskatoon helped raise the profile of the oilseed as a new cropping choice for western Canadian producers. His research, which started in 1993, selected for earliness, high seed oil and suitability for Western Canada. He then began working on changing the oil and meal profile while maintaining high seed oil and meal protein contents. Contracted production is expected to be 25,000 acres this year. Carinata oil, one of the crop’s byproducts, is being refined into biojet fuel. It powered the world’s first 100 percent biojet fuel civilian flight in 2002, which Popular Science listed on its top 25 scientific events.

EQUIPMENT MAKER | DEMAND OUTLOOK

SUMITOMO CORP. | EMERALD GRAIN PURCHASE

Agco expects sluggish year

Japanese buy Aussie grain firm BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Commodity prices down | Shares have fallen 10 percent since October (Reuters) — Agriculture machinery maker Agco Corp. warned of weak demand this year because of reduced farm income. The company is forecasting current quarter earnings well below Wall Street expectations. Economic uncertainty in Europe, coupled with a slowdown in demand from U.S. farmers, has weighed on Agco as corn prices continue to slide, pressured by a record crop in 2013. Lower prices would mean a drop in total farm cash receipts. Farmers with less cash cannot spend as much on equipment, even if they have to harvest a lot of corn. Deere & Co. said in November that it expected its business to suffer as a result of softer commodity prices in 2014. “Lower commodity prices relative to 2013 are expected to result in reduced farm income and softer industry demand across the developed agricultural equipment markets in 2014,” said Agco, which sells its products under the Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Valtra and Agco brand names. It expected first quarter sales volume to be down, largely because of a slower start to the year, particularly in Brazil.

Agco warns of lower demand for farm equipment this year, which would affect its production facilities. | FILE PHOTO The company forecast earnings of 70 to 75 cents per share for the current quarter. Analysts on average were expecting a profit of $1.12 per share, according to Thomson Reuters. The company said it expected growth to be flat this year and forecast earnings of $6 a share on revenue of $10.8 to $11 billion. The company had reported a profit of $6.01 per share on revenue of

$10.79 billion for 2013. Agco said net income attributable to the company and its units rose 36 percent to $139.3 million, or $1.40 per share, in the fourth quarter from a year earlier. Net sales increased six percent to $2.86 billion, inching past the average analyst estimate of $2.85 billion. The company’s shares have fallen 10 percent since it reported a weak third quarter profit in October.

Challenge Accepted

Australia’s fifth largest grain company has been sold to a Japanese buyer. Tokyo-based commodities trader Sumitomo Corp. announced Feb. 5 that it has acquired full ownership of Australia’s Emerald Grain. Sumitomo had previously acquired a 50 percent share in Emerald Grain, which handles 4.5 million tonnes of Australian grain annually. The deal will see Sumitomo acquire the remaining 50 percent equity in the company, which operates 15 grain collection facilities in the Australian states of Victoria and New South Wales and exports two million tonnes of grain annually through its port terminal facility at Melbourne. “As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Sumitomo Group, Emerald Grain will have access to Sumitomo’s global network, allowing Emerald Grain to expand its operations and accelerate

the growth of its grain value chain in Australia,” the company said. Sumitomo plans to use Emerald Grain to expand its grain business globally. Details of the transaction have not been made public, but Emerald officials have indicated that the deal, which is based on the company’s estimated value, will not be subject to approval by the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). “FIRB and the ACCC have been consulted in relation to this transaction and both bodies have advised that they will not be examining the transaction further,” Emerald said. According to Australia’s Fairfax Media, industry sources say typical Australian agribusiness transactions are calculated at about seven to eight times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, pitching Emerald’s hypothetical value at $210 to $240 million.

AN IMPORTANT BREED. Landrace pigs remain an important part of the Canadian hog industry, even if you won’t find one on most farms today. | BY DAN YATES, SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ADVANCEMENTS IN CANADIAN HOG GENETICS

Today’s hogs owe much to Landrace, Yorkshire genes

T Today’s swine are products of managed breeding. | FILE PHOTO

he Landrace breed, which was first registered more than 50 years ago, is one of the major breeds whose genetics help assemble the modern pig. “Further up the chain, probably before the farm needs to worry about it, there will be herds of pure large whites (Yorkshire) and pure Landraces (which are crossed), which is making up that grandparent,” said Helen Thoday of the Prairie Swine Centre near Saskatoon. When combined with the boar’s genetics, commercial pigs become a three-way cross. And Canadian genetics are strong, said Thoday.

“Basically, since the 1950s, the drive for swine genetics was very much production-based and the advances in pigs to sow per year and the subsequent growth rates and conversion from feed to lean protein has been huge,” she said. “And I think it’s fair to say we’ve reached an optimum for the current building systems that we have.” Today, Canada’s purebred hog herds are managed by researchers, large multinational companies and 100 members of the Canadian Swine Breeders Association. One organization, Genesus, registers 40 percent of purebred breeding stock in Canada, employs its own geneticists and exports pigs internationally.

Fast Genetics of Saskatchewan sent almost 900 pigs to China earlier this year. Exports were rarer in earlier times, and purebred and cross gilts and boars would be sold regionally from the farm. Most of the CSBA’s members are smaller family owned operations with 300 to 500 animals, said manager Nancy Weicker. “They’re definitely in it for the genetics,” she said. “They like to improve the breed. They are always performance testing and picking out the best of the litter.” More than 97,000 purebred hogs were registered last year, with the largest numbers in Manitoba, al-

though there are significant numbers in Ontario and smaller populations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. Most are of the three major breeds, but some producers are able to find niche markets for meat from heritage breeds, such as Berkshire, at farmers markets and high-end restaurants. “I think that a lot of people of course want to know where their meat is coming from and want to buy locally,” said Weicker. “I think that connection with the breeder to the consumer is important to the consumer, so the breeder sees that there is a market for him to have his own pork at the farmers market.” Research into hogs genetics is

steered by industry, including the large multinationals and the CSBA, under the banner of PigGen Canada. The organization identifies disease resistance, meat quality, longevity and animal welfare as priorities. Thoday said the industry will eventually look for a more robust animal that can more easily recover from diseases such as porcine epidemic diarrhea. A move from gestation stalls to group housing in hog barns could also demand new genetics. “Lameness and temperament are key because these animals are now interacting with each other, where before that hasn’t been an option in a stall system,” said Thoday. Laurie Connor, a hog researcher with the University of Manitoba, is confident Canadian genetics can adapt to new housing. “They perform very well in the group housing situation, but there are other aspects to the genetics, she said. “And that comes down to not just disposition but things like feet and legs — structural soundness — which I think genetic companies are needing and probably are paying some more attention to. Going back to the basics, if you will, because certainly that will be very important as we move forward.” IN THE FEB. 20 ISSUE:

FARMER SURVEY | EQUIPMENT PRIORITIES

Livestock, grain producers buy for different reasons Equipment purchases | Survey gathers differences in equipment expectations of crop and livestock producers

Grain and cattle producers are like chalk and cheese when it comes to farm equipment. Livestock producers look for equipment that is easy to maintain and will last a long time, while grain producers rank reliability high on their list, said a Case IH survey of 800 American and Canadian farmers. “We’re a different breed,” said Elgar Grinde, a livestock producer from Holden, Alta. Angela Semeniuk, a grain farmer from Smoky Lake, Alta., said their combine and seeding equipment may run for only one month a year, but they don’t want to worry about breakdowns during the busy seasons. “It has to be able to work when you want it to,” she said. To help ensure reliability, Semeniuk said the farm never keeps combines longer than five years and usually trades them in for a new model when they are only three years old. “For us, we need to know when we turn it on, it has to go,” she said. “Combines are a lot of money for only being used one month.” The farm keeps its sprayer longer but buys new when it comes time to replace it to ensure it has the latest technology. The survey also found that grain producers emphasize high resale value and innovative and progressive manufacturers. Semeniuk believes resale value is more a function of hours and maintenance. All their equipment is kept under shelter to slow the machinery value’s drop in value. “It’s how you take care of it that gives you your resale value.” Semeniuk said each piece of equipment, including their four tractors, have different uses. Their oldest tractor is attached to the grain vacuum, the grain bagger or an auger. “It plays an important role, but the hours put on it are sporadic. Our four wheel drive will go for 16 hours a day for a full month.” She said a livestock producer’s tractor may operate for only one hour a day. “Livestock versus crops are two dif-

ferent worlds. It’s hard to compare the two.” Grinde said it comes down to price and return on investment for livestock producers, who have struggled through years of low prices. “The average livestock producer cannot afford new equipment and has restricted the purchase of new equipment just to stay in business. The depreciation on new equipment on most livestock operations comes up with a negative return on investment,” he said. “While grain farmers, having had more capital to work with, have been able to justify the added expense by the increased size and efficiencies in technology found on new equipment, giving them a positive ROI.… The grain producers have an iron addiction. They like iron. Us livestock producers don’t tend to put a lot of value on equipment and tend to not buy a lot.” He said grain producers are continually upgrading their equipment to have the latest gadgets to chase the last bushel of production. Livestock producers haven’t seen the same dramatic changes in technology, he added. G r i n d e s a i d m ow e r s hav e n ’ t changed much in 30 years, except get bigger. Balers are basically the same machine but with stronger parts and bigger belts. A front end loader is still a front end loader. “It’s still the same machinery, but upgraded a little bit,” said Grinde, who tries to use his equipment as little as possible to help reduce the cost of raising livestock on his cow-calf operation. “The livestock producers don’t need the electric bells and whistles and GPS and variable rate gadgets. GPS doesn’t matter on a baler unless you want your bales all in a row,” he said. “Grain guys want bigger equipment, but you can’t make bales any bigger.” He said he would rather have two older pieces of equipment rather than a newer one in case of a breakdown during the important haying season. Livestock producers also told the survey that ease of maintenance is a high priority.

GPS doesn’t matter on a baler unless you want your bales all in a row. Grain guys want bigger equipment, but you can’t make bales any bigger.

For us, we need to know when we turn it on, it has to go. Combines are a lot of money for only being used one month.

Haney Farms founder, seed developer dies at 98 Leonard Haney remembered for service to agriculture LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Leonard K. Haney, a southern Alberta seed farmer and national leader in pedigreed seed development, died Jan. 31 at the age of 98. The former Iron Springs, Alta., resident founded Haney Farms, one of the largest seed farms of its generation, and served as president of the Canadian Seed Growers Association in the early 1980s. He was also a former president of SeCan. Haney was awarded the Alberta Order of Excellence in 1986 and became a member of the Order of Canada in 1993. In 2005 he was granted an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of Lethbridge. In a lifetime of agricultural and community service, Haney served as

a school trustee and a County of Lethbridge councillor and sat on the Alberta Farm Debt Review Board and the provincial agricultural education and rural extension advisory committees. Haney was also a Lions Club and Kiwanis member and served on the local United Church board. He was an avid fiddle player who encouraged others to take up the instrument. Haney and his late wife, Velva, raised four children on the family farm near Iron Springs. He is survived by three sons, a daughter, 10 grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and five step-great-grandchildren. A tribute page can be seen at www. lylereeves.com.

PASTURELAND | FEDERAL TRANSFER

Non-reversionary rule hinders land leasing Some federal land must be offered to the ag department and government agencies before it is offered to patrons BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SASKATOON — The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association says the federal government should exempt the non-reversionary land in some of its pastures from the Treasury Board disposal process. Non-reversionary land is land that the federal government owns but can’t transfer to the province without first offering it to the federal agriculture department and other government agencies. Patrons are supposed to take control of the first five pastures that Ottawa is disposing of this spring. A resolution presented at the SSGA semi-annual meeting in January said the non-reversionary land is critical to the viability of the pastures. The province had offered to swap land with Ottawa to avoid the disposal process, but a deal fell through. Mark Elford, who ranches near Wood Mountain and sat on a pasture transition committee set up by the provincial agriculture ministry, said the trade was a sensible idea. Patrons want to lease the pastures in their entirety.

“It doesn’t seem like the government of Canada is able to get out of this policy,” he said. It would be simpler and easier if it could exempt the pasture lands, he added. Non-reversionary land is scattered throughout several of the pastures, including McCraney, which is to be turned over to patrons this spring and the only one of the first five that patrons haven’t yet officially leased. The pasture’s home quarter and yard site are on non-reversionary land, and the patrons are hesitant to proceed with a lease without assurance they will have access to it. Other resolutions passed at the meeting included calls to lobby the provincial government to recognize that conservation easements decrease the sale value of land, that a surface lease compensation review process for crown lease land be established and that Health Canada approve irradiation for trim and ground beef. SSGA members also want funding increased for the predation program administered by Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. so that more control officers are available quicker to deal with coyotes and other predators.

WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Taiwan has agreed to accept Canadian bonein beef and other products from cattle younger than 30 months of age. The arrangement was signed Feb. 3 and was to go into effect no later than 30 days later, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and trade minister Ed Fast said in a statement. Taiwan is the latest country to ease

trade restrictions placed on Canada in 2003 after an outbreak of BSE. Prior to the restrictions, Taiwan was Canada’s fifth largest export market for beef, worth $19.8 million in 2002. Canada currently ships only boneless beef from cattle younger than 30 months to Taiwan, which was worth $1.4 million in 2012.

UGANDA | IMPROVING AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

Farming on other side of the world targets lifestyle Health, information projects | Ugandans learn to build fuel efficient stoves that reduce smoke and related lung problems BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

Lukas Matejovsky is familiar with farm numbers, but he recently spent six weeks working with numbers that are a bit smaller than what he is accustomed to seeing. The agricultural economist and crop statistician with Alberta Agriculture recently was volunteering in Uganda with the Africa Community Technical Service (ACTS), a nongovernmental organization that has worked in Africa for more than 40 years.

“I went there to help with projects that focus on agriculture,” Matejovsky said. “And more specifically I was working on agriculture and health related activities that benefit local widows and small holder farmers.” Average size farm in Uganda is 3.5 acres. Bananas are the main crop, but mace is also grown and coffee is a cash crop produced for export. Other crops include peas, beans, onions, spinach, potatoes, pineapples, mangos and avocados. HIV has wreaked havoc in Uganda, and many of the farmers who ACTS

works with are widows. Getting access to land and finding enough time in the day to look after their children and sometimes grandchildren and elders while fulfilling their roles as sole providers are some of the issues these women face. Matejovsky’s work in Uganda was in three main areas: organizing and implementing workshops on how to increase banana yields, evaluating the fuel efficiency stove (FES) program and launching a radio show for farmers. The banana plantation project involved teaching farmers to dig

trenching on plantation hillsides to channel rain water. “It decreases soil erosion and increases fertility,” he said. Volunteers from Canada worked with locals who are employed by ACTS. One of the program’s goals is to replace the country’s typical stove, which comprises three stones supporting a cooking pot over a fire, with fuel efficient stoves. This type of stove decreases the amount of time spent fetching fuel and provides a healthier cooking, eating and living atmosphere.

The traditional stove burns timber from large trunked trees such as eucalyptus, banana leaves, papyrus and elephant grass, which produces a thick smoke that causes lung and eye problems. FES stoves are built with 15 bricks coated with mud and use a chimney to vent smoke out of the house. “We improved the teaching materials and data collection process, and re-evaluated the cost of the stove to farmers,” said Matejovsky. The project suggested and implemented a variety of improvements: • Improve the educational material that teaches people how to properly build and maintain the stove to extend its lifespan. • Improve data collection and record keeping for future policy making, project evaluation and project improvements. • Change the program targeting and cost by evaluating the willingness to pay for the stove and calculating contributions made by users to reach the greatest number of households for the most affordable price. The project eventually set the price at $1 per stove. The radio project is still in the developmental stage. When in place, it will run a few hours a day and be operated by local ACTS employees. It will provide information to local communities on improving farm practices, soil quality and yields and the importance of using clean water and HIV-AIDS prevention. Matejovsky said Uganda has two distinct parts: city and country. “If you go to the city, it looks almost like any other city in North America, not the same but close. It’s very developed. You see nice stores and restaurants and people are nicely dressed, but when you go to rural places it’s very different. It wouldn’t be like here when you go to rural Alberta. You still see the wealth here, but you don’t see it there.” He said the capital Kampala is 270 kilometres from Nyakyera, the rural village where he volunteered. “But it took us eight hours to get there because the roads are in very bad shape.” Matejovsky said he was surprised at how warmly welcomed the ACTS volunteers were, even when collecting data. It’s a time consuming activity and the farmers were volunteering their time when they could have been doing something else. “They were very helpful and also grateful for us being there trying to help them.”

brass bolsters. The clip point and spey blade are made from 420HC stainless steel and are 3 1/8 inches long each. The tool measures four inches long when folded. Much like many models in the Buck folding knife line, the Large Trapper has a traditional design with convenience and multipurpose use in mind. The clip point blade is intended for most light-duty cutting and piercing tasks, while the spey blade is excellent for jobs in which the user wants to avoid accidentally piercing the flesh or material being cut. The handle is contoured for comfortable. The length and size of each blade feel like natural extensions of the hand. It requires little effort to re-sharpen a blade to factory condition. The folding mechanism is smooth and true. Buck offers a lifetime warranty on all its products, and the purchase price for this tool is relatively inexpensive. The poor 420HC stainless steel is the biggest disadvantage to the Large Trapper and many other models in the Buck folding line. The designers have done their best with the low-grade material by using a heat treatment process and hollow grinding the blades. However, Buck’s efforts have only slightly mitigated the lackluster performance of this kind of stainless steel. The blade edges can be made to be serviceable for short periods but will never be outstanding in condition, endurance and sharpness. Another major flaw is the friction locking mechanism, which can have a blade close at the wrong time if accidentally pushed along the spine with enough force. More reliable and safer locking mechanism designs are available. In tests, the Buck Large Trapper moved naturally and responsively in the hand. The blades processed and sectioned an uncooked turkey reasonably well, though the barely adequate edge performance made for extra work in places. This was expected because of the low-quality stainless steel , but it was still frustrating when trying to get the overall task done in a timely manner. We were pleased to note that the edges did not chip or roll when exposed to bones and joints. For the price, it is difficult to beat the traditional styling and serviceability of the Buck Large Trapper. It would make for a good pocketknife, which an owner would not be particularly upset about losing. Kim Quintin is a Saskatoon outdoor enthusiast and knife maker.

WEED MANAGEMENT | PREVENTING RESISTANCE

Era of simplistic weed control said ending Integrated weed management | Chemical companies encourage farmers to rotate crops and vary herbicide use BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

VANCOUVER — North American farmers have used weed control methods for the past two decades that are comparable to eating at a fast food restaurant : convenient and cheap. However, simplistic weed control had serious consequences, causing glyphosate resistance to spread across the continent. The major chemical companies say the era of easy and cheap weed control is now officially over. “It will never be that way again. That’s absolutely clear,” Bayer CropScience product development manger Arlene Cotie said during a panel discussion on herbicide resistance management at the Weed Science Society of America annual meeting held in Vancouver Feb. 3-6. “It doesn’t matter who you listen to … Syngenta, Monsanto, Dow, there’s no silver bullet.” The final morning of the four-day meeting was dedicated to discussing herbicide stewardship and how to convince growers to adopt integrated weed management, which includes high seeding rates, harvest weed seed control and diversified crop rotations. Cotie, who lives in North Carolina but is still involved in the family farm in Saskatchewan, said integrated weed management isn’t an easy sell because it’s the opposite of convenient and cheap. “Integrated weed management isn’t simple and they (growers) want simple,” she said. “What is that silver bullet to get grower adoption? I don’t think any of us have figured that out.” Respect the Rotation, an initiative developed by Bayer, encourages farmers to rotate crops, modes of action and herbicide tolerant traits. The United Soybean Board in the United States has launched a similar program, Take Action, in partnership with university extension services and crop protection companies. Cotie said these types of campaigns are essential to convincing growers to spend money and time on weed control. “You’re going to have to invest up front for long-term return on investment,” she said. “That’s what we really want to demonstrate with Respect the Rotation: what is that five-year plan? What does that look like?” Damon Palmer, Dow AgroSciences’ U.S. commercial leader for the Enlist weed control system, said Dow and other crop protection companies have a financial interest in integrated weed management. He estimated it costs $250 million to research and develop a new crop protection product. Farmers can help extend the life of herbicides and boost the return on investment by using integrated weed management. Neil Harker, an Agriculture Canada weed scientist in Lacombe, Alta., said this represents a philosophical shift for the crop science industry. “What they had been doing is tak-

“They’re (now) saying these … practices, no matter what they are… planting clean seed or harvest weed seed management, they’re going to (benefit) companies and retailers as well as growers, in the long term.” Harker said the tricky part is persuading farmers to look beyond a single growing season. “Until people are willing to say, ‘I’m looking at this as a multi-generational view and I’m going to do something here that’s going to help my children and grandchildren,’ you (have) very little incentive to make

some short-term changes.” Mark Peterson, Dow AgroSciences’ global biology team leader, said industry and extension personnel have to remember that farms have changed dramatically over the last 30 years. Producers now manage more acres with fewer people. They don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to weed management. “We all understand that the days of super-easy, convenient weed control probably are behind us … (but) if we go flat out and say you’re going to

We can model that and know exactly where glufosinate is going to go, (it’s) going to go off the cliff also,” she said. “Maybe there is a component in there of some mandate.”

MANITOBA HEALTH | AIR AMBULANCE

WINTER WHEAT | KILLING FROST

Air ambulance service delay irks farmers Breeders want secret to BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Anger is simmering about Manitoba’s suspended rural air ambulance service, and some of that heat seethed out into public view during Keystone Agricultural Producers’ annual convention. “The helicopter’s on standby. The crews are sitting there ready to go. We’re just sitting, waiting for the government to give the OK,” said Chris McCallister, a Portage La Prairie farmer who has raised tens of thousands of dollars for the air ambulance. “It’s frustrating. It makes me angry,” he said in an interview. “It’s an awesome cause, and it’s hard to see it

sitting there doing nothing.” The STARS air ambulance was suspended after a November death of a patient combined with other incidents. Medical authorities are conducting a review. Theresa Oswald, a former provincial health minister, told the KAP convention that the province wants to get STARS flying again. “Certainly, when there were some concerns about some clinical protocols that led our medical professionals to advise a pause, that was not a decision that was made lightly.” Oswald said the review is designed to ensure critical problems don’t recur. Farmer Nevin Bachmeier of Steinbach, who challenged Oswald about

STARS, said he felt the service is critical and should not be out of service. “This is a lifeline for rural Manitoba and countless people have been saved by this program every year,” said Bachmeier, a rural fire department volunteer. STARS operated more than 700 Manitoba flights before being shut down.

wan’s plant sciences department, said winter wheat has economic and ecological advantages over spring wheat, but it’s risky for farmers to grow the crop using current cultivars. “It can produce up to 40 percent higher yields than spring wheat, as long as winterkill is low,” said Baga, who is working on cold tolerance in winter wheat in a project led by professor Ravindra Chibbar. “So it’s desirable to increase winter wheat cold hardiness on the Prairies and to expand the growing areas further north.” Baga said farmers need new winter wheat cultivars with improved frost hardiness to reduce the risk of winterkill. “Our target is to develop winter wheat cultivars with the same frost resistance as winter rye cultivars currently grown on the Prairies showing good winter sur vival, reaching around -25 to -28 C for winter wheat in the next couple of years,” she said. “To reach this goal, the cold-hardiness obtained upon cold acclimation, expressed as LT50 values, must be lowered by a few degrees. The current most frost-hardy winter wheat cultivars have LT50 values around -21 C, whereas cold-hardy rye cultivars have LT50 values lower than -25 C.” Baga said the LT50 value reflects temperature at the plant’s crown tissue, which is located a few centimetres below the soil surface and somewhat insulated from cold by soil and snow cover. It is essential that the crown survives the winter because it is the only tissue that can support re-growth of new shoots and roots in the spring. Rye, wheat, durum and barley are closely related grass species and share much of their genetic makeup. “As the mechanism for cold tolerance becomes better understood in the most cold hardy winter wheat or rye lines, we can use this information to identify durum or barley lines carrying the optimal genes contributing to increased frost resistance,” said Baga. Breeders can then use these durum and barley lines to assemble the optimal gene combinations needed to improve frost hardiness. “As durum wheat is a closer relative to bread wheat than barley, the development of frost hardy durum wheat is expected to be easier than in barley,” she said. “To achieve our goal, we’re mainly using various genomics techniques to identify and study genes contributing to enhanced frost resistance, including the latest high-throughput DNA sequencing, genetic mapping technique and assays to study gene function.” The university researchers expect to conduct frost-resistance field trials over the next five years with winter wheat breeder Robert Graf and rye breeder James Larsen, who work at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Lethbridge. An improved frost resistance test for winter wheat will be developed to expedite the identification of cold hardy breeding lines. Baga expects that cultivars suitable for the Canadian Prairies will reach farmers in the next decade.

WHEAT | MARKETING

Wheat commission takes research, marketing focus Group wants increased domestic and international sales BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A potential settlement between Canadian National Railway and the Teamsters union is one worry off Kent Erickson’s mind. The chair of the fledgling Alberta Wheat Commission says he can now concentrate on developing and implementing policies and priorities. “Obviously, our two key priorities for the wheat commission are research and market development. Communication would be our next pillar,” Erickson said. “Being fairly new … we’re trying to get an identity and make sure people know that the commission is there and what we’re about.” The commission, which was formed slightly more than a year ago, is now fully staffed and guided by a farmer board of directors. “We’re really kind of building a framework of how to run, and so there’s some challenges, but when it comes down to policy and comes down to programs, our board and our staff are really solid.” Erickson said wheat research is one of the main priorities. Declining government support for agricultural research is a concern, so the commission and other organizations will need to make financial commitments that keep existing crop breeding and agronomic research programs operating. Erickson said the commission is concentrating on supporting basic and traditional plant breeding research at Alberta’s federal and provincial research facilities. Cereals Canada is expected to help the commission and other organizations maintain and develop markets for wheat. “A lot of our attention is going to be trying to get that up and running and really help them promote our wheat internationally to end users,” he said. “One of the things that farmers are going to have to really figure out is how we’re going to promote our wheat domestically and in the international market.” He said the former incarnation of the Canadian Wheat Board emphasized Canada’s high quality wheat, and subsequent promotion will have to go further. “There’s a need to make sure that we have not only high quality wheat but the mid and low quality wheats for all the different markets.” Recent commodity price reductions don’t particularly wor r y Erickson, who said futures haven’t dropped substantially and the basis should improve once the grain shipping backlog is handled. As well, he said it only takes news of wheat crop problems elsewhere in the world to affect prices. For example, last week’s news about potential damage to U.S. winter wheat crops gave markets a boost. “That really shows that people are watching the world markets, and it means that there’s still opportunities for bull rallies.” Plenty of competition exists for acres, with growing interest among

prairie farmers in corn, soybeans and the standbys of pulses and canola. However, Erickson thinks wheat will hold its own because farmers will pay attention to rotations. He and his father maintain an eight-year rotation on their farm near Irma, he said. “A good rotation means a very level and fairly even dispersion of acreage across Western Canada, and I would hope that people would rely on crop rotations and good management practices to make decisions.”

Record beef prices boost U.S. packer margins CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) —U.S. beef packers are reaping their best profits in 2 1/2 years after beef prices hit historic highs. Processor margins will continue to widen as long as they are able to pass on their costs for record-high cattle prices to wholesale buyers, analysts said. “This is the time of year when packer margins are always narrowest because of seasonally tight supplies, so this has been a bit of a pleasant surprise for packers after two weeks of ratcheting up wholesale beef prices,” said Jim Robb, director of the Livestock Information Center. U.S. beef packers earned an average $102.85 US per head of cattle processed in December, according to HedgersEdge. It was the first time processors saw triple-digit returns since June 2011 at $104.10, said Bob Wilson, the firm’s analyst,. Beef prices climbed after years of drought in the United States shrunk the herd to its lowest level in more than 60 years. Cattle and beef became increasingly scarce recently after packing plants shut down during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. As well, retailers were caught short of product while they replenished coolers as colder weather settled in across the U.S. Plains, which slowed down animal weight gains. In response, packers paid up to $144 per hundredweight for cattle in January, which was an all-time high, feedlot sources said. The prices and margins are unprecedented, said Don Roose, president of U.S. Commodities. Packers are doing everything in their power to push up beef prices, and it is working in the short term, he said. “The question becomes whether processors will win the battle but lose the war,” Roose said. “Overall, there is concern about the loss of demand at these price levels, which will be key.”

BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China’s top policy priorities for this year will be improving the rural environment and maintaining food security, according to a key policy document. The “number one document,” which is issued every January by the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee, sets the country’s policy priorities for the year and has focused on rural matters every year since 2003. This year’s document also focused on developing “modern agriculture” and laid out improvements to the way the countryside is governed. However, hopes that Beijing would explicitly relax a long-standing 95 percent food self-sufficiency target and open the floodgates for more imports appear to have been dashed. The document said China would continue to pursue “basic grain selfsufficiency” while increasing the use of overseas markets and allowing an “appropriate” amount of imports. However, it stressed it “would not relax domestic food production at any time.” Beijing has been preoccupied with cleaning up urban pollution following a spate of severe smog problems but has also acknowledged that industrial contamination of water and soil, together with the overuse of pesticides and fertilizer, has caused severe environmental problems in the countryside. The fight against rural pollution is also part of China’s efforts to ensure it has enough farmland, water and rural labour to feed a growing urban population without having to turn to overseas markets. The policy document said China would seek to resolve environmental constraints such as water shortages. It would also work over the rest of the

year to strengthen food security, set up mechanisms to ensure sustainable rural development and deepen reforms to allow the transfer of land. The government recently revealed that eight million acres of farmland are now too polluted to grow crops. Rejuvenating contaminated land will help China ensure that at least 300 million acres of land is reserved for farming, a policy known as the “red line.” China’s rapid urbanization has reduced surplus farm labour and boosted incomes, but the government worries that a dwindling rural workforce will be incapable of producing enough food to meet growing demand. As a result, it has sought ways to spur farmers to stay on their land by providing subsidies and investing in rural infrastructure. China must work to improve conditions in the countryside to stop an exodus of rural workers into the cities, agriculture minister Han Changfu said last year. “Chinese farmers want to move to the cities, but it is not possible for them all to do so, and it is even less possible for them all to move into the big cities, so we must plan urbanization and rural construction accordingly and build homes that allow rural people to live a happy life,” he said.

Western France plans to ignore court and restore GM corn ban solutions to African ag decried High-tech answers irrelevant | Zambian ag minister tells western countries to stop trying to think for them ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (Reuters) — Paternalistic thinking from western firms will not solve Africa’s agricultural problems, which need to be addressed from African viewpoints, Zambia’s agriculture minister told a global forum. Four out of five panelists who debated the issue at the two-day agricultural forum in Abu Dhabi were non-Africans. South African Johan Steyn, managing director of Cargill Inc. in the Middle East and Africa, was the only one from the continent. “One of the challenges that Africa has is that the world thinks it can think for us,” Robert Sichinga said when the floor of the forum was opened to questions. “Please, for goodness sake, move away from this paternalistic attitude of thinking that you can think for us.” Sichinga said that while Steyn was from South Africa, he was representing Cargill, and “with all due respect, there is no way Cargill can be part of a solution.” Sichinga took issue with Cargill paying farmers in Zambia low prices for their cotton crop. Steyn later told Reuters that Cargill was working with small-scale farmers in Zambia and helping with seeds, chemicals and fertilizer to help them develop their businesses. Farmers had grown cotton in hope of receiving high prices for their crop on the back of sharp gains in the 2011-12 season, but farmers received less than they hoped when world prices dropped by 46 percent after harvest. “But then we started seeing more farmers grow maize, and we support all that production whether it is cotton or maize or other crops,” Steyn said. “It is just a growing phase in which small scale farmers are learning how to be part of the global economy.” Sichinga also criticized the forum’s focus on high-tech solutions for agriculture, which were irrelevant to Africa. “Who will pay for this technology and equipment and salaries that are needed for researchers not to migrate to other countries,” he said. The forum included presentations by Mark Post, a professor of physiology at Maastricht University, who is the scientist behind laboratorygrown beef. The meat is grown from stem cells that cost $380,000 and five years of research to produce. “Are you sure that we can be able to use now the new burger made out of stem cell technology? Is that what you expect of someone in a village with less than primary education to undertake?” Sichinga asked.

PARIS, France (Reuters) — France has launched a move to restore a ban on genetically modified corn that was annulled by its top court. It hopes to prevent the variety from being seeded this spring, which could raise public outcry in a country strongly opposed to GM crops. A senator of the ruling Socialist party has submitted a draft law that would prohibit the cultivation of any variety of GM corn. France’s previous bans on GM corn, which applied only to Monsanto’s MON 810, had all been overturned by the country’s highest administrative court for lacking sufficient scientific grounds. MON 810 is the only GM crop allowed for cultivation in the Euro-

pean Union. The new measure would also apply to any strain adopted in the future, including the insect-resistant corn known as Pioneer 1507 developed jointly by DuPont and Dow Chemical, which the EU could approve later this year. A German government spokesperson said Berlin would abstain in an upcoming vote to approve cultivation of the 1507 corn. The French Senate could vote on the proposed law as soon as Feb. 17 before being passed to the lower house, a farm ministry official said. Implementation of the ban would be monitored by inspectors, and GM crops would be destroyed, the draft legislation says.

The French government has drafted a law prohibiting GM corn despite a court ruling saying it poses no environmental or health risks. | FILE PHOTO France, the EU’s largest grain producer, has argued the technology poses environmental risks, referring

to studies by the European Food Safety Agency. Monsanto says its GM corn is safe.

AFRICAN AGRICULTURE | LAND DEALS

African states seek land investors to boost agriculture ABU DHABI, U.A.E. (Reuters) — African countries that missed out on cash from Persian Gulf countries wanting to invest in agricultural projects are trying to entice Arab investors with deals they say are designed to avoid past problems. An earlier wave of foreign investment in African farmland aroused domestic hostility on some projects, with opponents regarding them as land grabs that ate into local people’s food needs. However, governments in Zambia and Ghana are arguing that everyone can benefit from such investment, provided it is properly regulated. They took their message to a global agricultural forum in the United

Arab Emirates, offering land lease and production sharing deals that aim to raise money for helping their own small scale farmers and feeding local people. “We are here because we want to interest some of these investors to come and invest in Zambia,” said agriculture minister Robert Sichinga. “So far there hasn’t been interest from the Middle East, and yet we are an important destination.” Desert states of the Gulf, which rely on imports for 80 to 90 percent of their food needs, started investing heavily in farmland overseas around 2008. The spending spree was prompted by bad weather in large food produc-

ing nations, increasing use of land for biofuel crops and curbs on agricultural exports by some governments, which caused grain futures prices to soar. Investments included land to grow crops in countries such as Sudan, Ethiopia and Namibia, but other African nations have been left out. Sichinga said land lease deals could provide much-needed money to take Zambia’s agricultural sector to the next level of development. Ghana, the world’s second largest cocoa producer, was also keen to strike deals for an agricultural sector that accounts for more than half of its gross domestic product. “The government alone is unable to

provide the needs for the sector, so we need to tap foreign direct investment,” said Rashid Pelpou, minister of state for private sector development. Ghana’s government wants to create a land bank for investors and offer prison-owned land to investors for nothing. “We are looking to lease lands and we are happy to work with people,” Pelpou said. The government also offers tax free arrangements for agricultural investments in northern Ghana. In return, the farming projects would typically split their production, with part going to the domestic market and part exported by the investor. Resources are badly needed to

develop small scale farming in Africa. Zambia has only 500 commercial farms compared with 1.5 million small farmers, Sichinga said. The country is farming only 14 percent of its 170 million acres of arable land, but it is self-sufficient in most crops and exports food to neighbours. “Foreign direct investment would help us secure more export markets,” Sichinga said. Still, foreign investments in farmland have entangled some Gulf investors in political and social problems. According to critics, their projects have been difficult to get off the ground. In Ethiopia, where farmland in the Gambella region was leased to Saudi-based billionaire Mohammed alAmoudi, five people died in April 2012 when an armed group ambushed the firm’s employees. Human Rights Watch, a non-government body, said it thought the attack was linked to government moves to resettle villagers to clear the way for commercial farming. Saudi Star, Amoudi’s firm, said at the time it thought the violence was propagated by outsiders and has continued with its project. The attack is one example of how land deals can create more problems than solutions for Africa, but observers believe it all depends on the kinds of agreements that are negotiated. Roy Steiner, deputy director of agricultural development with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said projects should benefit the host country by helping small farmers develop their businesses. “It completely depends on the context and how the investment is done,” he said. “If it is done well with consultation about issues that develop small farmers, then it is good, but if it is done as an outside imposition, then consequences are possibly negative.” Kate Geary, a land adviser with Oxfam, said ownership of 90 percent of land in sub-Saharan Africa is unregistered, which means people are vulnerable to being driven off their land to make way for big projects. “Poor people are often left homeless, landless and with no compensation to rebuild their lives, and any food that is grown is flown thousands of miles away,” she said. “Positive investment in agriculture, which strengthens people’s rights to resources, improves their access to markets and supports women’s rights, is vital.” Al Dahra, a privately held agricultural firm in Abu Dhabi with farmland across Europe, North and South Americas and Africa, said it has not faced problems because it shares produce equally with the host country and creates jobs where it invests. “We care about food security in both countries — in our country and in the host country in which we are investing — and we almost always come up with a 50-50 sharing formula,” said vice-chair Cadim Al-darei. African countries are confident that regulations will prevent problems this time around. Zambia said it plans to give investors leases of no more than 25 years and remove them if they find that investors are misusing land. “There will be terms for investing, and if there is a local market for the crops that are being produced, then in most cases you w ill only be allowed to export up to 50 percent,” Sichinga said.

JAPANESE WHEAT IMPORTS | CANADIAN SHIPPING PROBLEMS

Rail woes Japan’s buys reflect shipping delay fears push oat Canadian shipments a month behind | Japan buys more wheat from the U.S. futures higher Price tops corn | Rail service issues have prevented Canadian growers from taking advantage of high prices CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The U.S. oat market soared to an all-time high Feb. 6, ignited by a razor-thin supply of oats from Canada in the wake of logistical nightmares. Chicago Board of Trade oat futures rose the 20 cent daily trading limit, reaching a record high of $4.63 1/4 US a bushel and surpassing the previous record of $4.59 3/4 set in August 2008. The record price topped a month-long rally, with oats climbing 35 percent since early January. Extreme cold and heavy snowfall this winter have forced railroads to run shorter trains and slowed movement of bulk commodities out of Canada. The harsh weather, coupled with record-large Canadian wheat and canola harvests, has overwhelmed Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway, resulting in a shortage of 40,000 grain hopper cars needed to move crops to port or to the United States. Adding to concerns last week was the possibility of a CN strike, but the railway and union struck a deal Feb. 5. “The rally is not surprising, given the transportation mess in Canada. Roughly half our oat supplies are imported on an annual basis, and most of that comes from across the border in Canada,” said Shawn McCambridge, a senior grains analyst with Jefferies Bache in Chicago. “In the prioritization of who gets rail cars, grain isn’t on the top of the list; it’s not the highest revenue. And within the grain list, oats is not at the top of that list, either.… Supplies could be tight for some time.” The U.S. imports more than half of the 160 million bushels of oats it uses annually to produce breakfast foods and snacks as well as feed for livestock. Oats are mostly fed to horses, but they are also finding their way into pig diets this winter to help fight off the effects of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, analysts said. “There’s been sourcing delays out of Canada with their rail logistics and some increased demand due to the diet issue with PEDv going on,” said Tim Emslie, a grains analyst for CHS Inc. “You want to put a little more fibre in the rations.” Canada, the world’s biggest oat exporter and second-largest grower after Russia, produced 3.9 million tonnes in 2013, the highest amount in five years. U.S. grain traders also said the price of oats surpassed corn Feb. 6 for the first time in eight years.

TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) — Japan hopes to ward off extended shipping delays in Canada by buying more U.S. grain and Canadian wheat scheduled for June delivery. Canada’s record canola and wheat harvests have clogged its rail arteries and overwhelmed its ports, delaying shipments and creating logistical bottlenecks that threaten to last at least into spring. Japan’s agriculture ministry bought 50,310 tonnes of hard red winter and 82,454 tonnes of dark northern spring grades from the United States, as well

as 99,522 tonnes of Canadian western red spring wheat for arrival in late June. Japan typically buys 20,000 to 30,000 tonnes each of the five grades of food quality wheat from the United States, Canada and Australia in tenders typically issued three times a month. “There were worries if shipments from Canada will be able to arrive or not, so we were asked (by millers) to take additional supply from the U.S.,” a farm ministry official said. Grain industry sources in Tokyo said

wheat shipments to Japan from Canada are delayed by about a month. “The problem is (Canada) has too much crop and no outlets, so shipments have been slow,” one of the sources said. The bumper crop has overwhelmed Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway, resulting in a combined backlog of 40,000 grain hopper cars. Japan bought 284,161 tonnes of food quality wheat in the regular tender, which is nearly all of the 312,816 tonnes it tendered for Feb. 4.

The official said the 28,655 tonnes of western red spring that the ministry failed to buy would likely be rolled into a future tender, but he was unsure when that would be because Feb. 11, when the tender is normally issued, is a national holiday in Japan. Mostly likely it would be in a daydelayed tender Feb. 12, he said. Japan keeps a tight grip on imports of the country’s second most important staple after rice and buys the majority of the grain for milling via the tenders.

WATER SHORTAGES | ECONOMIC IMPACT

Drought may see California farmers idle 500,000 acres of cropland Irrigation cut back | Consumers can expect higher prices and major job cuts in ag sector LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Reuters) — Drought-stricken California farmers facing drastic cutbacks in irrigation water are expected to idle 500,000 acres of cropland this year. It is a record production loss that could cause billions of dollars in economic damage, industry officials said.

Large-scale crop losses in California would undoubtedly lead to higher consumer prices, especially for tree and vine produce grown only in the state. However, experts say it is too soon to quantify the effect. California is the No. 1 farm state in the United States, producing half of the country’s fruits and vegetables.

Coming off its driest year on record, the state is gripped in a drought that threatens to inflict the worst water crisis in its history, prompting governor Jerry Brown to declare a state of emergency last month. He urged citizens to voluntarily reduce their water consumption by 20 percent.

California water managers later said the drought would force an unprecedented cutoff in state-supplied water sold to 29 irrigation districts, public water agencies and municipalities, barring an unexpected turnaround. Irrigation deliveries to another group of agricultural districts served

The ultimate team to supercharge your yields You can never have too much of a good thing, and in the case of Novozymes MultiAction® TagTeam® and Optimize® you can have two good things working for you at the same time. These two products together are the ultimate team to supercharge your soybean crop for maximum yields, especially in new ground. With Optimize applied on-seed you get the advantage of the LCO Promoter Technology®, which enhances your soybeans’ nutritional capabilities meaning you will get earlier and increased nodule development for better nitrogen fixation and an enhanced root system for improved nutrient and water uptake. Add TagTeam, the world’s only phosphate and nitrogen inoculant, to the equation and you have the makings for extremely healthy plants and a full, rich soybean crop that will deliver incredible yield. The advantage of using both of these products is the formulations start to work almost immediately. Seed-applied inoculants like Optimize tend to form nodules closer to where the seed is located (closer to the primary root), while in-furrow applied granular inoculants such as TagTeam form nodules on the secondary or lateral roots, ultimately allowing for wider distribution of nodules along the whole root system. Land that has been through some rough times or has not had soybeans for a few years requires special attention when it comes to inoculation. The goal is to supercharge the soil with a heavy load of rhizobia to ensure

the best possible nodulation and soybean performance. Land with no history or many years between soybean crops and land that has been flooded or had longer periods of drought, is not conducive to rhizobia survival. It is in these soils that farmers will benefit most from the application of both Optimize and TagTeam.

Optimize® with LCO Promoter Technology® Combining LCO Promoter Technology with the bradyrhizobia bacteria in Optimize helps to shortcut the natural process by enhancing your soybean’s nutritional capabilities, helping nodulation to get off to a faster start. The roots of the soybean plant send out signals to the nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil, and the bradyrhizobia bacteria communicate back that they are safe to absorb. Once the plant receives this confirmation, natural growth processes such as root and shoot development are stimulated, and gateways are opened to allow bradyrhizobia bacteria to infect the root, resulting in the formation of nitrogenfixing nodules. Barriers to this natural process include temperature, moisture stress and high levels of nitrogen in the soil. With Optimize, the communication between the soybean root and nitrogen-fixing bacteria happens sooner, resulting in earlier nodulation and faster root development regardless of growing conditions.

Get more with MultiAction® TagTeam® MultiAction TagTeam contains a naturally occurring soil fungus, Penicillium bilaii (P. bilaii), which enhances phosphate use efficiency, and a high performing, nitrogenfixing bacteria. The synergy of the two microorganisms provides balanced nutrition for better use of soil and fertilizer phosphate, maximum nitrogen fixation and higher yields. One of the benefits of P. bilaii is the development of more root hairs. Each root hair is a potential infection point for rhizobia. More infection points mean more nodules, more nodules mean more fixed nitrogen, and more fixed nitrogen equals higher yields.

What’s the

by the state are expected to be reduced by half, and an even larger group of farmers who get water from the federally operated Central Valley Project are likewise bracing for sharp cutbacks this year. “We’re in a dire situation that we’ve never been in before,” said Paul Wenger, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation. The state’s network of reservoirs, which collect runoff of rainfall and snow melt from the Sierra Nevada mountain range, is badly depleted. The Sierra Nevada is the state’s biggest source of fresh water. There are also problems with underground aquifers, which have provided farmers with reserves when water was otherwise scarce. “Some farmers may still grow crops on some of their land. Some farmers may face bankruptcy because of this,” said Mike Wade, executive director of the California Farm Water Coalition. The crisis is unfolding after an alltime banner year for California agriculture, with statewide production valued at $43.5 billion in 2012. Most of it comes from California’s Central Valley, a flat, fertile region stretching 720 kilometres north-south from Redding to Bakersfield. Farm districts representing half of irrigated agriculture in that region have reported that they already expect to fallow 385,000 acres this year because of the water shortage, Wade said. Extrapolating to the remainder of the Central Valley, Wade said his organization expects the full amount of irrigated land removed from production this year will easily top 500,000 acres of the region’s approximate six million total. The Farm Bureau is similarly projecting 400,000 to 500,000 acres of irrigated land being fallowed, Wenger said. Hardest hit would be annual row crops such as tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce, cantaloupes, garlic, peppers and corn. Wade said consumers can also expect higher prices and reduced selection at grocery stores, particularly for products such as almonds, raisins, walnuts and olives. He said the potential total value of unplanted crops was hard to calculate, but his group estimates the overall impact of idled farmland will be $5 billion in direct costs of lost production and indirect effects through the region’s economy. An economic toll of that magnitude would put 40 percent of all agricultural jobs in the Central Valley at risk, or 117,000 people directly employed in farm production, processing and transportation, he said. Wenger declined to venture an estimate of economic losses, but

$5 billion IN LOST PRODUCTION AND SALES said it will be big. “It’s going to be a sizable number that we’ve never seen before, and it’s going to ripple through the local economies, especially where agriculture is the name of the game.” A California drought in 2009 resulted in an estimated 269,000 acres of cropland idled, $368 million in lost farm revenues and total reduced economic output of $796 million, according to a study from the University of California at Davis. Nearly 10,000 jobs were lost. Steve Lyle, a spokesperson for the state agriculture department, said the department is working with UC Davis to develop real-time impact assessments. “We are anticipating significantly higher economic impacts, compared to the 2009 drought, for the agricultural sector,” he said. The water shortage could be made worse by the fact that many farmers have switched from annual field crops to orchard-style produce, such as almonds and olives, which cannot simply be left fallow from one year to the next. Many growers face the choice of either shutting off irrigation to their older, less-producing trees to save the younger ones or spreading less water across their groves and accepting smaller overall yields. Orange and lemon growers, who weathered a damaging week-long blast of sub-freezing temperatures in December, are safe for now but worry about running short of water for next year’s crop, said Joel Nelsen, president of California Citrus Mutual. The region accounts for most of the nation’s fresh citrus fruit. The cold snap cost Central Valley growers $441 million in lost revenues out of about $1.5 billion in annual production, the trade group said. Still, the losses paled in comparison with a severe freeze in December 1990, which damaged citrus trees so badly that growers lost two years of production. Livestock producers are facing their own drought-related difficulties, including scant winter rain they rely on to grow grass for grazing their herds. Beef producers are being forced to ship much of their stock east, while dairy producers face higher costs to buy hay and feed.

U.S. FARM BILL | WHAT’S CUT, WHAT’S NOT

Farm bill slices food assistance, keeps COOL Hemp research gets $400 million | A subsidy for blending biofuel has been nixed, and a new Christmas tree tax added (Reuters) — The new U.S. farm bill will cost an estimated $956 billion over 10 years, a saving of $16.6 billion compared with current funding, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The following are some provisions of the wide-ranging legislation, which comprises everything from food stamps and farm subsidies to meat labelling and crop insurance. Food stamps Funding for the Supplemental

Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, was cut by $900 million a year. Direct payments The legislation ends a nearly twodecade-old program of direct payments to farmers, which cost $5 billion a year and went to farmers and landowners no matter how much money they made or even whether they farmed their land. The plan had become politically untenable at a time of rising farm

income. Lawmakers have instead expanded and revised crop insurance programs, which could put the government on the hook for bigger payouts in times of poor harvests. Country-of-origin labelling This provision, which has been around since the 2002 farm bill, requires meat sold in the United States to be labelled as to where animals are born, raised and processed. It remained in the 2014 bill despite heavy lobbying from the meat indus-

try, which said it was a bookkeeping nightmare for meatpackers. Mexico and Canada, two of the largest exporters of beef to the U.S., have challenged COOL at the World Trade Organization, while U.S. ranchers and consumer groups largely support COOL, arguing consumers deserve to know where their meat comes from. Dairy The final bill excluded supply management proposals, which would

have cut production in the event of lower demand and lower prices, but made changes to the insurance plan. King amendment dropped This amendment, intended to block a California law requiring that all eggs sold in the state come from chickens kept in non-confining cages, was included in the bill passed by the House of Representatives but was dropped from the final legislation. Critics said the provision, pushed by Republican representative Steve King of Iowa, could have invalidated hundreds of state laws on animal protection and food safety. King, supported by egg growers in Iowa and other states, said the California law violated the interstate commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution. Payment in lieu of taxes

SOME SEED REPS STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS. WE PREFER TO GET WAIST-DEEP IN THEM.

Rural counties in the West breathed a sigh of relief after the farm bill included a payment in lieu of taxes program, which pays local governments for the tax revenue they cannot collect on federal land. The $400 million a year program was a late addition to the farm bill. Hemp research With marijuana laws loosening, supporters of industrial hemp saw an opening and pushed through a provision that allows colleges and state agencies to grow and conduct research on the crop in the nine states where it is legal. Biofuel blender pumps A provision removes subsidies for fuel pumps in rural areas that blend gasoline with higher concentrations of biofuel. Ending the subsidies was a blow to president Barack Obama’s administration, which in 2010 set a goal of helping gas station owners install blender pumps over the next five years to promote consumption of higher ethanol gasoline. Christmas tree ‘tax’

45H31 • Outstanding yield potential • Superior standability and harvestability • Rated R for blackleg

Fiscal conservatives are particularly incensed by a provision in the bill that imposes a 15 cent fee on every fresh cut Christmas tree sold in the United States, with the money being used to promote demand for trees. Critics call it a tax and say it will be passed on to consumers but growers argue it is a fee similar to other commodity check-off programs.

TRANSATLANTIC TRADE | U.S., EU OPEN DOORS

EU set to lift duties on most U.S. goods as part of trade deal Some tariffs remain | Beef, poultry and pork would remain protected but import quotas will be raised BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — The European Union will offer to lift tariffs on nearly all goods imported from the United States as part of negotiations toward the world’s largest free trade deal, say officials familiar with the proposal. The offer was expected to be made Feb. 10, after this issue’s deadline, a week ahead of face-to-face talks between EU trade chief Karel De Gucht and his U.S. counterpart, Michael Froman, in Washington. The European Commission, which handles trade issues for the EU’s 28 member states, will tell the U.S. how far it is willing to open its markets, while U.S. officials are expected to do the same. Officials familiar with the EU’s proposal have said the trading bloc will offer to lift 96 percent of existing import tariffs, retaining protection for just a few sensitive products such as beef, poultry and pork. “This is just the first step, but it sends a message that no sector will be completely shielded from liberalization,” said an official involved in preparing the EU offer. Two other European officials confirmed the offer. The U.S. and the EU are seeking to seal a transatlantic trade deal encompassing half the world’s economic output in the hope that an accord can bring economic gains of $100 billion a year for both sides. The exchange of market access offers on Feb. 10 was expected to happen simultaneously so that neither side had an advantage over the other. The swap would mark the first concrete step since negotiations were launched last July, although offers can change considerably during trade talks. Officials close to the offer exchange said the EU’s proposal was split into four categories: • Brussels will offer to drop 96 percent of tariffs on the understanding that Washington reciprocates. • Two transition categories will be proposed for a further three percent of goods, with periods of three and seven years until tariffs are dropped, to allow EU industry to adapt. These could include commercial vehicles and some agricultural products. • Sensitive products such as beef, pork and poultry would remain protected, but the U.S. would be granted enlarged quotas. Those quotas would be decided at a later date. Tariffs between the U.S. and the EU are already low, and Brussels and Washington see greater economic benefits of a transatlantic accord coming from dropping barriers to business. However, in a marketplace of 815 million people, all moves to lower the cost of trade are seen as beneficial for companies, particularly automakers that have U.S. and European plants, such as such as Ford, General Motors and Volkswagen.

EU cars imported into the U.S. are charged a two percent duty, while the EU sets a 10 percent duty on U.S. cars. The burden for automakers amounts to $1 billion a year when even higher duties for trucks and commercial vans are included.

ZURICH, Switzerland (Reuters) — Syngenta is aiming to increase cost cutting to $1 billion a year by 2018, it said after disappointing the market with an 11 percent fall in profit last year. Earnings were hit by higher seed production costs, a write down on seed inventories and lower-thanexpected sales in crop protection in the fourth quarter, said chief executive officer Mike Mack. Mack has changed Syngenta’s sales model so that a single account manager sells farmers seeds, pesticides, fertilizers and support services, and he aims to boost sales to $25 billion by 2025 from $14.69 billion in 2013. He recently pledged to take a more disciplined approach to costs after net profit came in at $1.64 billion, missing the average forecast of $1.7 billion in a Reuters poll. The company made cost savings of $460 million last year. Syngenta’s unfavourable product mix also hurt profitability, with sales of low-margin, non-selective herbicides up 24 percent while sales of its higher margin seeds slipped one percent, said J. Safra Sarasin analyst Philipp Gamper. “I think the reshuffling of the organization may have cost them a bit of momentum on the operating level,” said Gamper, who has a neutral rating on the stock. Vontobel analyst Patrick Rafaisz, who rates the stock a buy, said he was cheered by the new efficiency program, which he thinks should help improve Syngenta’s financial performance after a disappointing 2013. The company’s shares have fallen 10 percent this year. The stock trades at 14.9 times forward earnings, which is at a discount to Monsanto’s 19.3 times but at a premium to DuPont’s 14 times. Sales growth of five percent at constant currency rates lagged the 10 percent growth reported by Monsanto and the 13 percent higher sales in DuPont’s agriculture business for 2013. Gamper said Syngenta has suffered from its weaker position in corn and soybean seeds than its peers. Seed sales for those products dropped eight percent while the smaller area of diverse field crops rose 18 percent. Syngenta forecast an improvement in its gross margins this year and said cost savings should offset investments in research and development. It reported a margin on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of 19.7 percent, down from 21.9 percent on the year. In 2015, it expects to come in at the lower end of its target for an EBITDA margin in the 22 to 24 percent range. The cost savings should help it raise the margin to 24 to 26 percent by 2018, it said.

CN signs tentative contract with union

Lyme disease particular problem for beekeepers

Deal would avert strike | The union’s 3,000 members had issued strike notice earlier in the week BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A strike at Canadian National Railway has been averted, at least for the time being. CN officials announced Feb. 5 that a new tentative labour agreement had been reached with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, the union representing train conductors and yard workers. Earlier this week, roughly 3,000 CN workers represented by Teamsters served notice of their intention to

begin strike action on Feb. 8. The workers have been without a contract since last July. The new agreement, which has yet to be ratified by unionized workers, averts a Feb. 8 strike that would have disrupted operations across CN’s Canadian rail network. “We commend the leadership of the TCRC-CTY for reaching consensus with the company and averting a possible strike,” CN vice-president Jim Vena said in a Feb. 5 news release issued by the railway. “This will ensure continued service

to our customers in a very challenging environment where extreme winter conditions have hampered CN operations and affected service levels.” Details of the three-year labour contract are being withheld pending ratification. Teamsters Canada members rejected a previous labour agreement that had been reached last October between the union and the railway. That agreement was rejected by 61 percent of the train conductors, trainmen and traffic co-ordinators who took part in a vote, according to

This will ensure continued service to our customers.… JIM VENA CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY

Teamsters Canada. One of the key issues that has impeded ratification of a new agreement is the issue of rest times for train crews, the union said.

Eastern Manitoba major habitat for deer ticks

WINNIPEG BUREAU

It ’s a my s t e r i o u s a n d m o s t l y unknown disease but can be a career ender for farmers in eastern Manitoba. Paul Gregory, a beekeeping industry spokesperson, said Lyme disease has made dozens of beekeepers sick in the province. In some areas, the infection rate verges on 10 percent, he added. “Several of my beekeeping friends are suffering from chronic Lyme disease,” Gregor y told Theresa Oswald, Manitoba’s former health minister and current economy minister, after her speech at the Keystone Agricultural Producers annual conference. Oswald agreed with Gregory’s concern but said it was a vexing issue for her when she was health minister because medical experts and scientist are divided over how to detect, understand and treat the disease. “There are some very profound and entrenched philosophical differences about detection, about testing, about protocols,” said Oswald. Gregory said farmers want the government to make in-province testing a priority because right now samples have to be sent to California, even though treatment, when required, needs to be done quickly. Oswald said she would ensure the government remembers that the issue hasn’t been resolved. “Now is not the time to drag our foot off the gas on Lyme disease, because it is devastating and we need our medical professionals to get together and decide what is absolutely best for Manitobans,” said Oswald. Lyme disease is transmitted by deer ticks, which are common in the forested eastern fringe of southeastern Manitoba. Once in a human victim, the disease often spreads and inflicts damage to the brain and nervous system. A quick treatment of antibiotics before the disease becomes established, is believed to be successful in many cases. Beekeepers are particularly vulnerable to deer ticks because they work in bushy areas for extended times, often covered in all sorts of bugs. Gregory said all farmers in those areas are vulnerable to the disease, revealed by the fact that it is common there but scarcely heard about elsewhere on the Prairies. “It is almost endemic,” he said in an interview. “Either their family members or neighbours or themselves have either acute or chronic Lyme disease.” Oswald said the health department has established a group of experts, some of whom disagree about the disease, to reach a consensus that allows for better diagnosis and treatment.

FARMER SURVEY | WILDLIFE IMPACT

WHY FILL OUT THE SURVEY?

Survey gathers challenges, costs posed by wildlife

Alberta Beef Producers says it wants data to create an environment between producers and others that: • Recognizes that producers bear significant costs while supporting wildlife

Determining costs could lead to compensation changes BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Are elk eating the haystack? Are coyotes poaching lambs? Are bears in the beehives? Farmers and ranchers have frequent contact with wildlife, and not all of it is beneficial. A survey of beef producers aims to discover the true financial impact that wildlife has on ranching operations. It may lead to recommendations for changes in compensation, suggestions for damage mitigation or proposals for ecological goods and services provisions. The survey is a joint project of Alberta Beef Producers and the Miistakis Institute, a non-profit corporation affiliated with Mount Royal University. “What we would like to see happen is ways to improve co-existence,” said Kim Good, a project manager at Miistakis who is managing the survey. “It’s busy landscape out there, and generally agriculture can be pretty complementary for wildlife, and particularly beef producers, so we want to get a really good, solid handle on the challenges that they are dealing with and ways that that can be helped.” The goal is to support Alberta’s beef industry while maintaining healthy wildlife populations, according to an ABP news release. The survey is available online and will be open until March 5. Good said 210 to 240 responses from each of ABP’s nine zones will be needed to make the survey statistically valid. The survey asks producers to identify the types of wildlife they encounter, indicate the type and cost of damage wildlife that has incurred and note any actions they have taken to mitigate that damage. It also asks what percentage of total income loss they are willing to tolerate because of wildlife. Good said response to that question will be particularly interesting. “I don’t know very many people in general who don’t like to see wildlife. Everybody’s in that boat. But when it starts to impact your well-being and your daily lives, then it becomes a challenge.” ABP passed resolutions at last year’s annual meeting directing its executive to explore options for ecological goods and services payments for producers. Members indicated that cattle producers’ protection of wildlife, water quality and biodiversity is important but comes at a cost that should be recognized. ABP’s wildlife committee collaborated on survey questions. Good said surveys done in other parts of the world show wildlife interaction with producers is under-reported. The survey, which does not require respondents to provide their names, is expected to help gauge the underreporting and estimate true costs.

The survey can be completed at www.surveymonkey.cm/s/beefsurvey. Printed copies are available from ABP. Results are expected to be available in early summer if response rates are sufficient.

• Fosters a co-operative approach to wildlife management • Recognizes producers’ knowledge of reasonable levels of local wildlife populations • Develops fair and sensible methods for measuring losses to wildlife • Acknowledges the uneven distribution of wildlife costs among producers and throughout society • Allows it to pursue creative mechanisms such as ecological goods and services programs for financing stewardship and loss of compensation Source: ABP

INTERNATIONAL LIVESTOCK CONGRESS | BEEF SECTOR

U.S. beef industry works to overcome challenges Lost opportunities | Losses seen from poor feed efficiency and reproductive performance, but some improvements noted BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The U.S. beef industry conducts audits every five years and has found problems, but there were also improvements in animal care and animal growth. | RANDY VANDERVEEN PHOTO

DENVER, Colo. — The once mighty North American beef industry may soon become a shadow of its former self if changes are not made soon. “We may be the next lamb industry, and we damn sure don’t want that to happen,” said Bo Reagan, chair of the International Stockman’s Foundation, during the recent International Livestock Congress in Denver. The U.S. industry has conducted beef quality audits every five years since 1991, and Canada has run similar assessments. Both countries found problems with beef quality, in which too many cattle had bruises, lesions from needles and problems with toughness. On the other hand, improvements have been made with animal care and animal growth. “I think we have made remarkable progress,” said Gary Smith, a meat scientist and professor emeritus at Colorado State University. Smith said there is plenty of room for improvement when comparing economic studies from 1989 to what is happening today. He based his information on research by Chuck Lambert, former chief economist for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, who assessed lost opportu-

nities in beef production. Lambert identified 11 sources of potential gain with reproductive performance and death losses being among the areas needing the greatest improvement. The U.S. industry generated $45 billion in 1989, which could have been increased by $12 billion by correcting some of those losses. Lambert calculated the total costs of these inefficiencies at $458 per steer. Audits have examined beef from fed cattle and butcher bulls and cows, but the industry has not taken a hard look at economic losses associated with reproductive performance, death loss, branding, weaning weight, multiple processing, feed efficiency and retail losses. Three-quarters of the U.S. beef supply comes from beef cattle and the rest from dairy animals. Dairy has probably made greater gains in fertility and performance because producers keep exact records on every animal in the herd. Fertility remains a challenge. Lambert said the United States could wean 95 percent of its calves instead of the 80 percent identified in 1989. There has been little change in this, he added. Canadian studies have found similar calf survival rates. Getting cows pregnant and making sure they wean a healthy calf can be affected by genetics, management and weather, especially in recent years. “It is so driven by our weather situation, here and in the rest of the world, that we are going to expose ourselves as an industry, periodically, to things like drought,” said Smith. Many cows failed to conceive because of drought in the western U.S. in recent years. Others delivered weak calves that barely survived. Weak calf syndrome occurs when cows do not get enough protein in the last trimester of pregnancy. As a result, calves do not receive enough good colostrums and consequently have weakened immune systems and cannot fight diseases. Others die from pneumonia, scours or difficult calving because of overlarge calves. Income is lost when calves die and their mothers must still be fed. However, cull cow values have increased in response to low supplies of grinding beef. “A lot of people are keeping those open cows because right now, they are worth about $1,200. That is how short we are of cow meat,” Smith said. However, the calves that do survive are bigger than ever. U.S. weaning weights used to average less than 500 pounds but are now 550 lb. The Canadian Beef Cattle Research Council found average weaning weights were 477 lb. in 1980 and 576 lb. in 2010. Other areas of improvement are

connected to better genetics and management. More people are using pre-conditioning to protect their cattle before they go to feedlots, where they are subjected to numerous health challenges. A common feedlot problem is respiratory illness, which affects gain or kills the animals. Higher weight gain is the result of improvements in genetics, ration formulation, health and welfare management. Today, 5.75 lb. of feed yields one lb. of beef, compared to seven lb. of feed in 1989. Producers continue to brand their cattle, especially in the West. More than 40 percent of cattle were branded in 1991, which continues to day. However, more producers are moving the brands to the hip rather than the side so that less leather is damaged. Some argue that cattle heading straight for slaughter from a feedlot do not need to be branded. As well, there are no real economic rewards for shipping cattle with unblemished hides. “There is no market signal sent saying, ‘I will pay more for something that is not branded,’ and it is not possible, at the speed processors move at, to sort hides into groups that are branded or not branded,” Smith said. There are still too many instances where carcasses are too big, too small, grade and yield poorly or are dark cutters. Canadian beef research reports the incidence of dark cutters has increased since 2004, particularly in the West, while they have declined in Eastern Canada. Carcasses are steadily getting bigger in both Canada and the U.S. because producers are paid by the pound. Any improvements in this area may be linked to more packer payment grids, in which producers must meet certain quality specifications and are paid accordingly. These bigger carcasses also have more fat waste, which must be trimmed off retail cuts and has little value as a rendered product. Retailers today trim fat back to a depth of 1/16 to 1/4 of an inch. “The consumer doesn’t want an inch of fat around the cut anymore. We had to get the industry to recognize that war on fat,” Smith said. Carcass condemnations are down, but organ meats such as livers are still condemned because of abscesses or sores. Auditors report less bruising because of better management and improved animal welfare and care. There has also been a large reduction in injection site injuries, especially in prime cuts of meat. Moving injection sites from prime meat locations to the neck have made a considerable difference. In addition, most injections can be delivered under the skin rather than the muscle. There is still a problem with beef turning dark in the retail case. The problem is alleviated if cattle receive vitamin E in their diets before slaughter, but adoption has been poor because its costs about $1 per head. Cargill Meats used to insist that all cattle receive the vitamin but ended the practice several years ago.

NATIONAL CATTLEMEN’S BEEF ASSOCIATION | CHINESE BEEF IMPORTS

Some skeptical on U.S. beef export deal with China 2006 deal fell through | China is the world’s biggest beef importer but the U.S. has been shut out since the BSE crisis in 2003 CALGARY BUREAU

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — China could import beef from the United States by summer, but analysts warn nothing is certain until the first container ship sets sail. “We had some commitment that they will allow beef in China before the middle of the year,” said Al Almanza, administrator of the U.S. Food Safety inspection Service’s meat, poultry and processed egg programs. Almanza has visited China four times in the last 16 months to negotiate approvals for U.S. plants. China said it would accept beef in 2006, but nothing happened because authorities questioned the U.S.’s ability to produce safe beef and control BSE. “I believe we are finally making some headway in explaining the different programs,” he told a government affairs committee meeting held during the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention in Nashville Feb. 4-7. Canada was approved in 2011, and eight beef plants are certified to export to China. It exported 10,088 tonnes of beef worth $35 million in the first half of last year. Shipping beef to China could be a big deal for the U.S. “China is the biggest beef importer on the planet, and it happened very quickly,” said market analyst Brett Stuart of Cattlefax. The average Chinese eats 12 pounds of beef per year, but the country has a population of 1.3 billion and the wealthier middle class is expected to swell from 300 million to 600 million by 2020. The U.S. ships beef to Hong Kong, which may become the third largest destination for American beef this year. Considerable beef is diverted from Hong Kong to the mainland. China imported 102,000 tonnes of beef last year, and prices are rising because it is in short supply around the world. This encourages other large producing nations to target China, where the retail beef price has increased to $4.98 per pound this year from $2 per lb. last year. “That rapid price inflation is pulling beef from Australia and India, wherever they can find it,” Stuart said at an NCBA session. China will also import products that are not popular in North America, such as tripe from the abomasum, pig brains, intestines and tongue. The Chinese are concerned about social stability and food security. Domestic prices are kept artificially high to encourage farmers to stay on the land, but agricultural resources are limited. The government may have to move away from a policy of self-sufficiency and decide which food to produce at home and which products to import. “China is clinging by its fingernails to that 100 percent self sufficiency,” Stuart said. “They are going to have to adjust.” India is a newcomer to the beef exporting business, shipping meat derived from water buffalo. It has exported 1.5 million tonnes to the Middle East, Africa and southern

Asia since 2009. India has the world’s highest density of cattle with 300 million head. About 100 million head are water buffalo and the rest are Brahman cattle, considered sacred among Hindus. The beef business is controversial in India. There are about 300 million Muslims in India who do not eat much beef but see the advantage in processing water buffalo, which have carcass weights of 250 to 300 lb. “Exports are very lucrative, and it is

a very affordable product,” he said. However, foot-and-mouth disease limits further Indian access to key markets served by the U.S. Mandatory vaccination is underway, but the potential to rid India of the disease is slim. Brazil is the world’s top exporter, offering a mostly grass fed product. “Brazil can make a lot of money selling grass fed beef into the developing world,” Stuart said. Brazil is feeding some cattle because it has a large enough land base and grain supply, but is challenge is foot-

and-mouth disease. There is potential to feed more cattle if the country can clean it up, but it may take five to 10 years to achieve disease free status. However, a growing challenge for all exporters is a flat supply of beef with little herd growth. The world’s beef producers produce 54 million tonnes a year, and another four million tonnes could relieve the stress. “On a global basis, we continue to see stagnant production in the global beef sector,” Stuart said. The U.S. cattle herd has been

steadily declining since the 1970s, although improved prices appears to be encouraging a small increase. The country may not be able to export much more until 2016. Nevertheless 2013 was the second consecutive year to break beef export records. The U.S. Meat Export Federation reported $6.157 billion in sales, a 12 percent increase over 2012 and volume of 1.17 million tonnes, which is a three percent increase in volume. It means $244 earned on every fed animal comes from export sales.

Green light signals red to heavy loads Revolutionary system | Measuring grain in a hopper trailer depends on green lights instead of digital weigh scales BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Loading a trailer to the exact legal limit on the first try is an art. Drivers often go to the scale

two, three or four times to hit the mark. Correctly distributing the weight of the grain over the axles is the hardest part of the dance. This trial and error process can add

up to one lost trip per day when it lasts too long. South Dakota grain farmer Shawn Gengerke thinks he has found a solution with his Load Judge hopper trailer sensor system, which he

debuted at Manitoba Ag Days in January. The system ensures that a driver can consistently load all axles to the maximum and not be affected by dust, dirt, mud, snow, ice, extreme

heat, extreme cold, wind, bad night time visibility and driver fatigue. Gengerke said the system also eliminates the need for drivers to climb up on the trailer, which is a significant safety factor.

LEFT AND ABOVE: Instead of weigh scales, the Load Judge uses three vertical light bars that read the shape and distribution of the grain pile. Vertical sensor bars and electrical connections are nearly indestructible, even when hit with heavy hydraulic probes at the elevator. The sensors self-calibrate once per second and provide accurate realtime information so the driver can pull ahead or back up to put the grain where he wants it. BELOW: The three vertical light bars feed data into this wireless unit which then relays a profile of the grain pile to the cab. | LEADING EDGE INDUSTRIES PHOTOS

The driver can remain in the cab to monitor the loading process while ensuring the trailer is loaded to the legal limit. The Load Judge also eliminates the need to make a circuit around to the scales to see if grain has to be dumped or added to make a full load.

PRODUCTION “Commercial grain hauling is all about return on investment,” he said. “ You get paid per bushel, and there are only so many loads you can possibly deliver in any given day.” Gengerke said truck drivers have more than enough to do juggling the vagaries of weather elements against the clock and the scale. Climbing ladders does nothing but add to the stress and danger of trucking grain. The driver should focus his attention on proper load placement. “Load placement in the trailer is critical,” he said. “You lose money every mile you don’t have the correct allowable weight on each axle. Load Judge gives you accurate real-time proximities. You set your safe load limit on the first load. You come back and load grain in exactly the same place in the trailer on every subsequent trip time after time.” Gengerke said his system removes the guesswork for drivers and elevator operators. It gets trucks back on the road sooner, which makes elevators more efficient. “It’s a difficult job,” he said. “You pull into an elevator, they open this great big chute and start dumping grain into your trailer. And you’re all just guessing, aren’t you? It typically takes two or three rounds to the scale to get the load even close to what you want, but that’s time you’re not being paid for. And burning diesel you’re not being paid for. It’s all very inefficient. And we know cameras don’t work because of the dust build-up.” Gengerke said his system solves all those problems with three vertical light bars in each two-hopper trailer. One vertical light bar aligns with each hopper, with the third bar installed half-way between in the middle. The light bars are mounted on the trailer wall on the driver’s side. There are no light receiving sensors on the opposite wall of the trailer. The green lights in the vertical bars serve as their own transmitters and receivers, creating an image from the moment the first kernels start piling up in the hoppers. As grain continues falling into the trailer, the algorithm Gengerke developed starts to take over and feed data, which is converted into a real-time image of the grain pile depicted on the driver’s screen. “It reads the angles, pile heap and fall. That data travels through the power module box on the trailer. We use a wireless Wi-Fi to send the information to the driver sitting in the cab. He watches grain falling into the hopper trailers in real-time on his iPad, iPhone or Android platform two. And there’s a magnification button to blow it up on the screen for a closer look. “The lights take one reading every time they flash on. They take another reading every time they flash off. They self-calibrate in one flash and send data to the driver with the next flash. The driver gets a real-time picture of the grain pile once every second. “That’s the information he needs to decide whether to drive forward or backward to put the correct load on each axle. It really does become a very simple procedure for the driver.” The system also includes one moisture sensor for each trailer unit. Gengerke said it is an important reading at harvest time because it tells the truck driver whether a load can go directly to the elevator if it’s

dry enough or if it should go to the yard for drying. “If we have moist grain, the truck driver knows it goes to a different bin,” he said. “We might know about that on the combine, but the fact is that moisture sensors on combines are not very accurate. Our moisture sensors are accurate. “Once you know which bins hold your wet grains, you use the moisture sensor in the Load Judge to blend off those wet bins for a load that’s under 15 percent. If you don’t have that information from the trailer, you might haul a load 100 or 150 miles and then find you lose $300 because your moisture content is too high. Load Judge makes sure that doesn’t happen.” Gengerke said the information provided to the driver must be specific if the system is to create maximum benefits. The data is adjusted for dif-

ferent trailer brands and models and different commodities. He said lower manpower cost is another factor in some trucking operations. Drivers accustomed to paying another person to help with loading can now do the job on their own. A pile peak adjustment feature lets the driver account for differences in loading dry or moist commodities. A bushel estimator feature uses existing bushel weight information to give the driver real-time bushel estimates while loading. The basic Load Judge kit includes six sensors, one moisture sensor, a Wi-Fi box, quick attach plug, cables a n d n e c e s s a r y ha rd w a re. It i s designed for a two-hopper trailer and sells for $6,500. For more information, contact Gengerke at 605-380-7578 or visit www.loadjudge.com.

PRODUCTION three different products at the same time. The single-pass Ag Shield Road Side Sprayer we came up with does road top glyphosate for grasses and other weeds on gravel and dirt roads. At the same time, we hit the shoulders and ditches with 2,4-D for broadleaf weeds and volunteer crops from seeds blown off passing trucks. We also hit the far side of the ditch to get those shrubs and low growing trees.” Suffron said the optional wand and hose reel allows the operator to stop and hit taller trees or weed patches that the end nozzles don’t reach. Grasshoppers and other insects breed in the protective cover of roadside vegetation, and Suffron said additional tanks and meters can be installed for applying insecticide during the weed control operation. Dust control agents can also be applied through the top boom, but not during chemical applications. “The Road Side Sprayer uses the same Ag Shield cover we’ve had for years, so you can do your road maintenance spraying at 15 m.p.h. with crops on both sides of the road, even in winds up to 25 m.p.h.” Suffron said the problem with grading is that the blade moves the same material back and forth many times. It takes sod from the side and brings it into the centre, where it mixes with gravel. The operator then makes another pass to push the mixture back to the shoulder. If the cut edge is lower than the remaining sod on the shoulder, it creates a dam that retains water. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Ultimately, more gravel must be added to ensure a safe roadway. “If the grass on the road top was controlled chemically, the grader wouldn’t need to make all those passes. The operator would only need to deal with gravel and not with big chunks of sod,” Suffron said. “The costs of diesel fuel, manpower, grader maintenance, grader blades and extra gravel would all be reduced.” Suffron said volunteer crops from passing trucks combine with prolific weeds such as Russian thistle and kochia to form big problems on the shoulders and near sides of ditches. He said the rules for controlling noxious weeds and volunteer crops on road allowances have become stricter, but the technology to meet that legislative criteria has been lagging.

Mowing takes care of the shoulders nearest the road top, but it’s difficult to get the mower into the bottom and far side of the ditch, especially in wet years. As well, mowers need to cover the same area three or four times a summer. “When you think about it, you’re wasting all those mower passes. You need one mower pass in the fall to drop the grass before winter, but that’s all you need,” he said. “The weeds and volunteer crops can all be controlled with chemicals. That ditch grass isn’t doing any harm until November when the snow flies.” Shrubs, willows and other larger forms of vegetation generally thrive on the far sides of ditches. The risk of herbicides drifting into a crop standing just beyond that shrub line prevents most spray operators from giving these nuisance trees their full shot. The taller the shrubs, the greater the risk of spray drifting into the crop.

PRODUCTION As a result, the shrub line often requires an expensive mechanical cutting and shredding operation followed by hand spraying to kill the stumps. Suffron said the shielded boom on his company’s machine lets operators put the third boom right up against the crop without the risk of crop damage. “That third boom is also protected by the Ag Shield cover,” he said. “It reaches out 21 feet from the shoulder. The challenge for the third boom is to kill all those unwanted plants on the far side without hurting the crop just beyond the ditch. We think this new setup allows operators to do just that.” Gauge wheels under the booms let operators control nozzle height to prevent drift and protect the nozzles. Prices range from $3,000 to $15,000. For more information, contact Suffron at 800-561-0132 or visit www. agshield.com.

A typical grader requires three or four passes to rip up the sod, work it and put the gravel back in place. The cost averages $60 per mile for a two-sided road. In comparison, a glyphosate treatment on the same two-sided road costs $16.50 per mile. | AG SHIELD PHOTO

Ground proof the roadside sprayer BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Custom applicator Larry Dyck put 600 miles on his Ag Shield Road Side Sprayer last year, doing road work for the Rural Municipality of Chesterfield in western Saskatchewan. “They had me spray some of these roads because they didn’t want to grade due to the erosion factor,” Dyck said. “On those roads, I eliminated one grader operation with chemicals. They didn’t have to touch them at all (with the grader).” Dyck said he uses glyphosate to kill grass on the edges of the road, which eliminates the need for the grader to scrape them up, push them over and then pull the gravel back. “That probably saves them 50 percent of the grader time they used to waste pulling it back again. The councillor says it’s saved the RM a fair stack of cash,” he said. “It’s also cut down on their mowing by about 60 percent on the roads where I sprayed for broadleaf weeds and volunteer crops. There were roads I sprayed last summer where they never had to mow, simply because they didn’t need to until fall. That’s a big saving.” Dyck said controlling shrubs and small trees on the far side of the ditch with a hand wand has always been a big time-waster. “But if the shrubs aren’t too tall, they can now be sprayed by the end nozzle on the lower boom,” he said. “The shield prevents spray from drifting into the field, allowing the operator to run almost at the edge of the crop. You’ve got to spray them (shrubs and trees) while they’re lower than four feet or else you won’t get good coverage at the growing point. Once they’re over four feet tall, you’ve got to stop the truck and use the hand wand.” Grasshoppers and other insects have not been a problem recently in the areas where he works, but Dyck said it will be easy to tank mix insecticides into most of the herbicide products he uses when the pests return.

Grasshopper threat hinges on spring BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Grasshoppers might be a problem in some parts of the Prairies this year. However, whether they become a financial issue on the farm will likely have more to do with spring weather than current forecasts. Previous seasons have had cool springs and May rain, both of which impede grasshopper development and give crops a head start.

Last fall’s late frosts and warm temperatures until Halloween meant some species were still laying eggs until snow arrived in early November. Other species may have slowed their egg laying behaviour, but those too were likely still making plans for a big spring hatch. Scott Hartley of Saskatchewan Agriculture said the projected population maps that have been issued in the past week from all three prairie provinces indicate isolated potential threats, but spring conditions could produce problems in many more areas. “If we have a more typical drier, warmer, earlier spring, if that is still typical, then we will see higher populations in many areas,” he said. Surveys of 1,100 sites in Saskatchewan showed that the northwest has a pocket that could be a problem, near Meadow Lake and Goodsoil. The southwest near Swift Current could also have near threshold conditions for lentil crops. There is potential for light infestations south of Regina and in the area northwest of Estevan in southeastern Saskatchewan. More vulnerable crops or those late to emerge should be monitored. “It always depends on weather and (hatch) timing and the progress of the crop,” Hartley said. In Manitoba, John Gavloski said a trend has developed over the past few years for higher grasshopper numbers. The overall threat in Manitoba is low, but there are pockets where the four main pest species could create significant risks to crops. Potentially threatening populations exist north of Winnipeg and in the southwest from Melita to Neepawa and from Crystal City to Carberry. There are also potentially problematic zones in Alberta’s Peace country and areas north of Lloydminster, east of Red Deer and south of Calgary. Hartley said areas that were green last fall and providing habitat for the insects could potentially harbour higher egg populations. “Some fields and pastures probably tend to have higher populations in years when grasshoppers have been a problem,” he said. “Look to those areas first when scouting in the spring.” He said producers should be vigilant when crops are at a vulnerable stage, even if their farms are in low threat areas.

“I think the kids will enjoy the garden this year.”

NATIONAL CATTLEMEN’S BEEF ASSOCIATION | CONSUMER CHOICES

Ground beef tops shoppers’ lists Less demand for quality cuts | The cattle industry needs to adjust feeding regime to stay profitable BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A quick glance in the average shopper’s grocery cart is likely to show more hamburger and fewer steaks. That change in consumer choice should encourage the beef industry to rethink the kind of products being offered, said an agricultural economist with Rabobank International. “We are seeing a growing imbalance between what consumers are showing us they want to buy and what the beef industry is producing,” said Don Close, who authored a Rabobank report on the beef industry, which was released at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention in Nashville Feb. 4. The industry used to encourage producers to aim high and produce better quality beef, and they succeeded. The number of carcasses grading USDA Choice or Prime has increased by 20 percent in the last 10 years. However, it may not be what consumers are looking for. Consumption has dropped to about 55 pounds per

capita from 90 lb. 30 years ago. “If it was quality alone, we would not continue to see that erosion in per capita consumption,” Close said. However, consumption might have dropped even further if quality had not improved, he added. Close said 60 percent of beef consumption is ground product, even though the industry continues to focus on high grade muscle cuts. Retail prices for all meat soared from 2000-13: broiler prices by 24 percent, pork by 45 percent and Choice grade beef by 72 percent. At the same time, the price of a package of hamburger has been closing in on the Choice cuts. “All beef prices have escalated at a faster rate than Choice beef prices. That gives us very compelling evidence that consumers have downgraded the items they are buying,” he said. “We will see additional price narrowing between these two items.” Hamburger is not an inferior product, he added. It comprises lower priced components such as beef trimmings as well as cow and bull meat.

Trimmings have been trading at a premium to the overall cutout because of higher consumer demand for the ground product. Also, consumers are looking for ground beef at 93 percent lean with seven percent fat rather than a lean to fat ratio of 85-15. Close said more muscle cuts should be ground because fewer cows are going to slaughter and less lean meat is available from suppliers such as Australia. The Australian herd has been declining because of drought, which resulted in the biggest cow slaughter in 34 years. However, it is a sellers’ market, and cow beef has found more value in China. Close said Australian exports directly to China increased by 635 percent last year. This trade pattern is only going to grow, he added. Mexico is in transition and is developing a feeding and processing facility that can handle 250,000 cattle in Durango. There will be fewer live cattle coming into the U.S. as a result. In December, the U.S. Department of Agriculture circulated a proposal

to accept fresh beef from Brazil with shipments possible by mid-2014. Foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks had previously required Brazilian beef entering the United States to be cooked. Convenience is another reason for the growth in the grind. Close estimated that 75 percent of consumers have no meal plans at the end of the working day. Hamburger is easy and can be turned into a meal in 30 minutes. There is also a decline in cooking skills among young people, who can handle ground beef with more confidence. As a result, more grinding meat will have to come from the fed steer and heifer supply. The industry needs to select the bottom half and change the way those cattle are fed for market. They could be left on forage longer or given lower quality feed for a longer period. The ribs and loins could be sold to retail as low Choice and the rest ground. Close said implementing such a program could be best handled at the regional level, where plants are looking for supply so they can stay open.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Merck Animal Health is looking for 240,000 feedlot animals on which to test the effects of Zilmax. The company voluntarily stopped sales of its growth enhancer last August after reports about lameness in finished cattle. Ty s o n Me at s ha d e a r l i e r a n nounced it would no longer accept cattle that were fed the product because of problems detected in animals coming to its plants. Ron Bryant, head of Merck’s ruminant products group, outlined the company’s plan to investigate the product during the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention held in Nashville Feb. 3-7. It will be tested in different weather conditions and locations to assess whether the product causes lameness or other foot problems. Animals will be assessed at feeding, transportation, offloading and staging at the processing facility. The data will be collected and audited by a third party. “Industry will let us know when the questions have been answered and when they are comfortable with the technology,” Bryant said. Some feedlots said they are willing to join the study, but packers must accept the cattle when they are ready to go to market. Taiwan and South Korea have rejected shipments when they tested positive for zilpaterol, the main ingredient in Zilmax. Merck has also asked academics, veterinarians, nutritionists, feedlot owners and stocker-backgrounders to form an advisory board that will meet every few weeks. As well, the company is starting an annual certification program to ensure that producers who feed Zilmax have been trained to use the product properly. Producers who take the course must pass a test before certification is achieved. They then receive a certification number, which is required when obtaining Zilmax. “There was some concern that maybe we had lost some control over who used Zilmax,” Bryant said. “That is not an unfair statement.” There have been cases where Zilmax was fed indiscriminately without Merck’s knowledge, he added. The company’s website reported that Zilmax sales in the United States and Canada were worth $159 million in 2012. Company and independent studies have found that zilpaterol hydrochloride fed for 20 to 40 days at the end of the finishing period enhanced growth performance and carcass muscle deposition for steers and heifers by about 15 pounds.

U.S. BEEF IMPORTS | BRAZIL

Risk of FMD from Brazilian imports low, says vet Fourteen Brazilian states are already considered FMD free, and trading partners must meet food safety inspection standards CALGARY BUREAU

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The United States is considering accepting fresh beef from Brazil. Brazilian beef imports must now be cooked to guard against foot-andmouth disease, but a proposal from the U.S. Department of Agriculture last December could change all that. The Brazilian agriculture department has agreed to work through import rules with the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Public comments will be accepted until Feb. 21, with a rule possible by March. APHIS chief veterinarian John Clifford said the move is controversial because some groups fear it could introduce disease to the U.S. The risk is probably close to zero, he told the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention held in Nashville Feb. 3-7. “If you want to worry about FMD introduction, you should worry about illegal products coming into this country,” he said. The disease could be transported in soil from an infected country, but it is more likely to arrive in products such as sausage that were not cooked well enough to kill the virus. Millions of containers enter the country unchecked and people move freely around the U.S., which could allow the disease to slip into the country and remain undetected until it was too late. Foot-and-mouth disease is highly contagious and infectious. Clifford said inspections are ongoing, in conjunction with Canada and Mexico. As well, the North American Free Trade Agreement partners also own a vaccine bank that carries protection against most of the known strains. Diligent procedures are in place to keep the disease out, and trading partners must meet the Food Safety and Inspection Service’s standards for food safety and disease reporting. “The system is based so we know they have the resources and the capability to detect the disease early and protect their trading partners by quick notification or notify us if anything is moving here in shipments,” Clifford said. Seventy percent of the world has foot-and-mouth disease, but the virus is not always active. It can be found in Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, China and Russia. “Most of South America is free with vaccination and does not have circulating endemic virus popping up all the time now,” Clifford said. “We have an opportunity in the next five years, if we continue to put resources in that area, to be totally free of this disease in North and South America.” Fourteen Brazilian states are free of the disease with vaccination, and the state of Santa Catarina is disease free.

CANADA HAS BEEN FMD-FREE SINCE

1952

Parts of Argentina have been clear for 30 years, and Chile is disease free. Uruguayan and Argentine beef is exported to the U.S., but it must meet certain requirements. The beef must be boneless and free of blood clots and lymph nodes. Researchers know that pH levels drop to below six as boneless beef ages, which can kill the virus. “We were bringing in boneless beef from Argentina in 1997, and in 2000, due to the outbreak, we stopped,” he said. “For the last 10 years, you have had boneless beef coming from Uru-

DENVER, Colo. — Randy Davis doesn’t need the experts to tell him about drought. He has been living with it at his New Mexico ranch for 10 years. Grass is sparse, the soil is blowing away and Davis’s family has downsized their cow herd from 1,500 to 600 Hereford and Angus females. “As a rancher, you are in the grazing business. You have to have grass to have cattle,” said Davis, whose story is similar to what other ranchers across Texas, Nevada, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona and California are living through. “The tough part is seeing your lifestyle slowly getting eroded. It is tougher and tougher to do what you have done all your life,” he said. “We have been there for a long time and we will adapt, but it is hard to do something else with your life.… I am 56 years old and I do not want to start over.” Rain fell last July and August on his ranch in northeastern New Mexico., and the native grasses quickly regrew. However, this winter is dry again with limited snowfall to keep the soil from blowing away. Five family members and employees work the operation, which started in 1873 and covers 130,000 acres of privately owned plains, foothills and mountain country. It relies mostly on native grass and also has 1,000 acres of irrigated land. However, water allocation rights are moot if the rivers are running dry. The elevation is 6,000 feet, and in good years the ranch receives sufficient snow pack in the mountains to fill the rivers and keep the water cycle moving. The area has received 17 to 20 centimetres of snow this year. “The mountains should be covered in snow by now and they are not,” he said. The family has other investments and a profitable hunting and guiding business, which is booked solid every year with about 100 hunters looking for elk, deer and antelope. “Economically, 600 to 700 head of cows does not support your employees and five family members.” Davis has watched cow numbers drop across the southwest because there is no grass and not much water. For many who are past middle age

and facing record high cattle prices, the choice may be to leave the business rather than restock. “For ranchers to restock, prices are way up there so you are in a tough situation. You are waiting on Mother Nature,” he said. The family has a drought plan, which includes selling off more cows in June and perhaps again in July if the summer is dry and there is no early spring moisture. “It is a tough time right now and it has tested everybody’s inner strength,” Davis said. The U.S. drought monitor places his region in the severe to extreme drought category with below normal precipitation in the southern Rockies. Colorado meteorologist Brian Bledsoe, who has been tracking this current weather pattern, advises producers to develop a drought plan and stick with it. “This drought has been cumulative,” he said. “It has not just been one dry year.” Snowfall on the Plains and in the Rocky Mountains has been below normal throughout the southwestern third of the United States. Summer rain came like monsoons: too fast and too late in the season. Davis is already speculating that the winter wheat may be plowed under in March because it is too dry. Soil is blowing like the dust bowl days of the 1930s, and the continued dryness means the ground is losing its ability to hold water. Few snowfalls occurred that were enough to cover the ground and keep it from blowing. This is the worst time of their lives for many young farmers and ranchers. “A lot of these young farmers are trying to get started. Those young guys have not seen dryness like this before,” Bledsoe said. “You should have had a drought plan yesterday.” The 21st century introduced a new weather cycle with extremes of too much moisture or severe drought. “You are probably going to see dryness over the (next) 20 to 25 years,” he said. Cattle herds are shrinking, and he sees changes in rural economies as small towns dry up as well. “You drive through some of those small towns and they are a shell of what they used to be.” The situation appears to be caused by a cold Pacific Ocean and a warm Atlantic. It is also repeating a weather pattern last seen in the 1950s, when droughts were common. Bledsoe’s research shows droughts have been an historical fact of life for the southwest region, sometimes lasting decades. “It has happened before and it will happen again,” he said. There is some cautious optimism that moisture could arrive in April if a weak El Nino brings rain to the region. Bledsoe expected California to continue suffering from dryness. “Farmers and ranchers will have to be more adept at dealing with dryness than they were before,” he said.

CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS | DIARRHEA TREATMENT

Crypto requires different treatment than other diarrheas ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

The best treatment method is to reduce the number of organisms being excreted

he incidence of crypto diarrhea is higher on dairy farms where calves are raised in close confinement and the moist environment is conducive to the transmission of these protozoa. However, large animal veterinarians are also starting to find it in beef herds in Western Canada. Crypto is a protozoa with a similar life cycle to coccidian, which is probably much more familiar to Canadian cattle producers. Bringing in dair y calves to be adopted by beef cows can be a source of infection. Use calves only from your own herd if possible. Crypto is usually caused by the species C. Parvum in cattle. It is transmissible to humans, so be careful when handling diarrheic calves. Cleaning and disinfecting areas where calves have been is particularly important. Most human cases result from exposure to sick calves. Producers, farm dairy workers and veterinary students are especially at risk. As with all zoonotic diseases, people under stress or immunosuppressed are highly susceptible. Clean boots and coveralls and wash hands, particularly after dealing with diarrheic calves. Treat diarrheic calves last to avoid carrying the oocysts (eggs) between calves. The organism is similar to coccidia because the oocysts are passed in the manure in large numbers. Calves ingest the oocysts, which damage the large intestine and the end of the small intestine. We see it primarily in calves from three to 30 days of age. Watch for calves that seem unresponsive to treatment and diarrhea that is yellow and foamy. The organism destroys the inner lining of the intestine, so the milk comes through essentially undigested and calves dehydrate. Crypto often appears with scours, so producers may be dealing with two diseases at the same time. It is why producers must use all the preventive steps in their power to avoid a scours outbreak, such as providing a new calving area, lots of room and bedding, and good nutrition for the dam, which boosts colostrum quality. Make sure calves are up and sucking within a couple hours. If in doubt, supplement with home stored frozen colostrum or good colostrum substitutes such as Headstart. Producers should vaccinate their cows and heifers for scours. However, the good scours vaccines cover the most common causes of viral and bacterial scours in calves but not the protozoan (coccidia and cryptosporidiosis) causes. The initial diagnosis has always been one of the more significant issues in the past.

Veterinarians investigating scours outbreaks have often suspected that crypto was involved but it was hard to prove. Fecal tests can be done, and labs are getting better at spotting it. However, its oocysts are much smaller than worm eggs so they can be hard to see, even with a microscope. A new method called entericheck by Biovet Labs, in which a strip is inserted into the manure, is a sensitive and specific check. As well, the acid-fast stain smears a manure sample on a microscope slide stain, and the oocysts become visible when they take up the stain. It worked well at our clinic. The combination of all three meth-

ods has greatly improved the diagnostic rate of crypto. Veterinary clinics can order the acid-fast stain. Treatment is another problem with crypto. The standard treatments, such as electrolytes, are always warranted, and veterinarians will prescribe sulfa drugs similar to coccidiosis treatment. However, the best treatment method is to reduce the number of organisms being excreted. Halofuginone is a drug that can be used for this purpose. It was used in Canada for a few years under an experimental drug release, so it has a successful track record. Calves in subsequent calvings are put on it for seven days in a row when

an outbreak occurs or after a first case is diagnosed. It controls the crypto by breaking the life cycle and substantially reducing the number of oocysts that are produced. It is an oral product and given at two cc per 10 kilograms daily. Dose it carefully because unlike most products, the safety margin is low. Double the dose and producers could get depressed calves, blood in the diarrhea and other signs similar to the disease itself. Don’t give more medication if those signs show up. Four times the dose can be fatal. Be sure to check with a veterinarian before using. Always treat calves on a full stomach and don’t start treatment if they

are already sick. Sick calves should be isolated, and the isolation area cleaned and disinfected. The oocysts can be killed by high temperatures. The key is keeping the oocyst numbers down. Resistance develops with age, which is why the disease is never seen in older cattle. Producers should make sure their veterinarian rules out cryptosporidiosis if they find unusual diarrhea and frothy content that looks like undigested milk because the treatment is much different than other neonatal diarrheas. Roy Lewis works as a technical services veterinarian part time with Merck Animal Health in Alberta.

NAME

Pulse firm happy in Canada A new entrant in Canada’s pulse processing sector is already looking to expand its operations. Agrocorp International opened its $11 million high-speed pulse processing plant in Moose Jaw, Sask., last year and recently acquired a smaller facility in Innisfail, Alta. “The two investments in Canada have been game changers for us,” said Vijay Iyengar, chair of the Singapore based company. “We are looking to expand our operations in Canada.” Agrocorp handles three million tonnes of grain in 11 countries, including 800,000 tonnes in Canada. The company’s Moose Jaw facility has the capacity to handle 250,000 tonnes of grain per year. The Innisfail plant is smaller but closer to port position. The remainder of the Canadian crops marketed by Agrocorp are

bought from other processors. The company has operated a Vancouver exporting office since 2009. Pulse crops are Agrocorp’s bread and butter, but it also sells other grains, sugar and oilseeds to customers in 30 countries. Iyengar said the investment in the Moose Jaw plant allowed the company to forge a closer relationship with the farmers who supply the product. “We are looking at a couple of more proposals and projects that we are evaluating at the moment,” he said during an interview at the 2014 Saskatchewan Agriculture Trade Summit. Iyengar said the company is considering acquisitions, new projects or a combination of the two. He said the Canadian investments have been a mainly positive experience. He appreciates the engagement of provincial and federal governments

in Canada’s agriculture sector and marvels at the ability to access the provincial and federal agriculture ministers at an event such as the summit, which is rare in other countries. However, Iyengar wasn’t throwing out only bouquets. He said Canada’s transportation bottleneck is costing Agrocorp business and keeping its Moose Jaw plant from operating at full capacity. He said the company ships 90 percent in bulk, and pulses are at the bottom of the bulk shipping hierarchy, below crops such as wheat and canola. “This year has been a difficult year for players like us,” he said. It hasn’t been any easier for Agrocorp’s customers. “The buyers in the special crops markets tend to be smaller buyers. They need an efficient supply chain. It has really been a big issue for them,” he said.

Customers used to purchasing supplies two months forward now have to buy six months in advance. Some buyers are forced to double or triple their purchases to assure adequate supply, which could cause disorderly markets and increased price volatility. Iyengar thinks growers in France and Russia could be increasing pea production in response to Canada’s transportation problems, which could force Canada to find new markets for its pulse crops. He also expressed frustration with the lack of workers in Saskatchewan and the difficulty in hiring experienced workers from some of the company’s other locations around the world. Iyengar would like to see more government co-operation on issuing work visas. “Some of the local governments also probably may need to become more business friendly,” he said.

SASK. CROP INSURANCE | IMPROVEMENTS, ADDITIONS

Sask. improves corn coverage, introduces bee loss insurance BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan’s crop insurance program for 2014 will include improvements for grain corn coverage. Corn acres grew 46 percent last year compared to the previous year, rising to 20,000 acres from 9,000. Farmers and ranchers have been asking for production insurance, said agriculture minister Lyle Stewart. “As a result of the high demand, we are introducing a pilot insurance program for yield loss coverage for corn in 2014 for southeastern Saskatchewan,” said Stewart as he announced the 2014 program Feb. 10 in Melville. The program will be available in east-central and southeastern re-

gions. In addition, the establishment benefit feature will be available for corn at $65 per acre. Durum and barley have been added to the yield trending feature, which improves coverage based on agronomic advancements and individual historic yields. Average durum yields will increase 8.6 percent, while barley will go up 3.5 percent. Yield trending, which was introduced in 2009, continues for other major crops. Stewart said the feature has resulted in average canola coverage increasing by almost 20 percent, oats by 15 percent and hard red spring wheat by 10 percent. “Commercial field peas will be

added to the contract price option and the base grade for flax will improve from No. 2 to No. 1,” Stewart added. Stewart said insurance coverage for 2014 is $162 per acre, on average, or the fourth highest in history. Premiums will average $7.47 per acre, about 25 percent lower than they were in 2013. Both drops are a result of lower forecasted crop prices. Stewart addressed last year’s complaints from producers who said they were being denied unseeded acreage benefits they believed they should receive. He said the program is not designed to pay out on permanent or semi-permanent water bodies. “We are going to make sure produc-

ers fully understand the program in 2014,” he said. That benefit has paid $740 million since 2010, including $75 million last year. Another pilot to be introduced this year is a bee mortality insurance program, which will cover bees lost over the winter from natural causes outside producers’ control. Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp.chief executive officer Shaun Jaques said the program will pay after a deductible of 19.5 percent. The insured value of the hives is $155 each. The deadline to apply for, cancel or make changes to contracts is March 31. Last year, 77 percent of seeded acres, or 27 million of 35 million acres, were insured.

MANUFACTURING | SHIPPING FACILITY

Schulte Industries expands to meet international demand BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Schulte Industries has expanded its production capabilities to keep up with growing demand. The farm equipment manufacturer from Edgefield, Sask., recently completed a $3 million, seven-monthlong construction project, which

adds 21,000 sq. feet to its plant. “The main reason we’re doing this is we’ve had some good growth in our sales, both domestically and internationally,” said president Greg Archibald. He said the investment would help the company achieve a 30 percent increase in annual production capability and sales while creating 15 new

welding jobs in production. Schulte manufactures grass cutters, rock pickers and snow blowers. The expansion includes a new warehouse and internal shipping facility. Fork trucks and two new sixton bridge cranes will now load directly onto trucks and shipping containers. Five new two-ton cranes were also

installed to the expanded welding area. “It’s a really good improvement for us,” Archibald said. A further 7,000 sq. foot expansion is planned for this summer, which will allow each of the company’s three products to be manufactured and assembled on a dedicated line. The expansions are designed to

meet growing demand as well as ship products safer and more efficiently. “We want to push volumes up even higher than they are now,” he said. Thirty-five percent of products are sold in Canada, 40 to 50 percent in the United States and 15 percent to Australia, Ukraine, Russia and France, he added.

LIFE INSURANCE | TYPES AND TAX IMPLICATIONS

Portion of insurance is tax deductible; proceeds tax free to shareholders MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

nsurance can be complicated, but introducing tax implications related to corporate life insurance plans raises the complication factor enormously. There are four types of life insurance: • Group term life insurance may be offered by a company or partnership for life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) cov-

erage to an employee or to the employee and family members. It is deductible to the employer as long as all full-time employees have access to coverage in the group. Group term life insurance premiums paid by the employer are a taxable benefit in the hands of the employee. • Term life insurance provides coverage at a fixed rate of payments for a limited period of time, which is also known as the relevant term. Coverage at the previous rate of premiums is no longer guaranteed once that period expires, and the client must then either forego coverage or potentially obtain further coverage with different payments or conditions. Group term and term life insurance are also known as pure insurance.

• Whole life insurance remains in force for the insured’s life and in most cases requires premiums to be paid every year. • Universal life insurance provides permanent life insurance protection with a tax-advantaged investment component. As the investment portion generates a return, the cash can be used to pay part or all of the cost of the insurance. The policy also has a cash value that can be accessed for emergencies,

retirement or for estate planning needs. Whole life and universal life comprise pure insurance and tax-sheltered savings components and command higher premiums than term life insurance. Corporations and partnerships, including farming enterprises, might also acquire insurance for other reasons: • To protect the business against the loss of an operating partner or key employee • To fund a buy-sell agreement to protect each co-owner on the death or disability of a stakeholder • To make sure the business can always pay the bills if it depends on an owner’s ability to generate income A whole life insurance policy can be

used as collateral for a loan, and the interest on the loan is deductible. A portion of the premiums related to the net cost of pure insurance, that is the premiums associated with term life insurance, would also be deductible. Insurance payouts upon the death of the policy holder can receive favourable tax treatment. The net proceeds from the policy on the death of the insured are added to the corporation’s capital dividend account. This amount can be distributed tax-free to the shareholders. Such a distribution to a partnership would increase the adjusted cost base of each partner’s interest.
