New elevator ‘first of many:’ CWB BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CWB is adding another elevator to its small but growing network of grain collection facilities in Western Canada. The grain company announced March 24 that it is building a new, state-of-the-art, high-throughput elevator at Bloom, Man., west of Portage la Prairie. The facility will have storage capacity of 34,000 tonnes, a 130 car rail loop and load-out capacity of 60,000

bushels per hour. Construction will begin immediately, and completion is scheduled for next year. The first deliveries of grain are expected in the fall of 2015. CWB president Ian White said the new project is “the first of many” that will likely be announced in the coming months. Most grain delivered to the central Manitoba location will be shipped through Mission Terminal, a 138,000 tonne export facility at Thunder Bay, Ont., which CWB bought late last year.

“This location supports our recent Mission Terminal purchase pretty well because it will be mainly eastern movement grain that would come out of this (facility),” White said. “It’s really just the first of many, but it does support our eastern strategy at this point.” White said CWB has identified several locations in Western Canada that would allow the company to become a meaningful player in the region’s grain industry.

After moving millions of bushels of wheat into the northern United States this winter, some grain brokers say they’ve discovered a great outlet for prairie crop. “It’s definitely in our plans for the next year or two,” said Brian Voth, a marketing adviser with Agri-Trend Marketing in Altona, Man. Brokers who have moved lots of product say there are tricks to successfully marketing into U.S. elevators, but they have seen nothing that suggests farmers and marketers won’t regularly use the U.S. system whenever price spreads grow or prairie grain movement stalls. “It’s fairly basic,” said broker Doug C ha m b e r s o f Qu a l i t y G ra i n i n Calgary. Voth said his clients have moved more than 500,000 bushels of grain into the U.S. this winter, mainly milling wheat and canola. Chambers said his company has probably moved 1.25 million bushels of wheat into the northern U.S. Voth said the U.S. premium over Canadian prices was sometimes $2 per bu., while Chambers said $1.25 per bu. wasn’t hard to find at times. Both said they were able to find eager U.S. buyers and could have made more sales if they could have found ways to transport it.

Growers eager to sell “We could have moved 10 times as much if we could have found the truck power,” said Chambers. Voth said some prairie truckers and trucking companies aren’t qualified to haul to U.S. destinations, which makes it hard to find people able to make the deliveries. Farmers need U.S. Department of Transportation approval and insurance coverage from a broker to get across the border. “It’s a bunch of paperwork, which is a deterrent to a lot of guys,” said Voth. However, he said it doesn’t have to be a deterrent. Farmers have found they can negotiate the applications and meet the requirements. Chambers said some truckers have tried to increase hauling rates when they realize farmers are making a nice premium by going to the U.S. He said Quality Grain has mostly moved crop to one big U.S. buyer, which has arranged the trucks. As a result, movement hasn’t been a problem. Farmers who want to haul to the U.S. by themselves must be careful about grain specifications. “Do some research on it,” he said. “The U.S. grain market is a different world.” Protein levels are the prime consideration for most U.S. buyers. The basic public price assumes 14 percent protein, which is higher than the Canadian assumption of 13.5 percent.

Voth said American buyers assess protein content in a way that tends to slightly boost the level of Canadian grain, so farmers shouldn’t assume the protein level they think they have will be the same in U.S. eyes. However, Chambers warned that some U.S. assumptions can hammer elevator prices, such as the tiny allowance for dockage. “My version of heavy dockage is five percent. Theirs is anything over .5 percent,” he said. Dockage penalties can be significant and rise sharply, he added. Dockage at .5 percent cost a client three to four cents per bushel, but 1.5 percent cost 25 to 30 cents per bu. A sample of farmer grain tested in Canada was assessed at 2.8 percent dockage, causing the farmer to cancel plans to ship it to a U.S. buyer. However, Chambers forwarded a sample to the buyer, which assessed it as having only 1.1 percent dockage. The grain quickly became worthwhile to ship south. “Without the sample, we would never have known that,” he said.

New CWB elevator ‘first of many’ He declined to say how many facilities the company would like to build or acquire but said CWB’s network will eventually include facilities in all three prairie provinces. “You have to have enough millions of tonnes so that you’re a significant enough player and so that you’re sustainable in the industry,” he said. To reach that level, CWB would like to have facilities and partnership agreements to accommodate handling at least five million tonnes per year. “Eventually, when we privatize … we’d like this to be a company that has enough spread across the Prairies with enough facilities so that it can be a significant and meaningful player.” The Bloom elevator, which is CWB’s first construction project since the elimination of single desk marketing, will be financed through a combination of existing CWB equity and debt financing. The project is expected to cost $25 to $30 million. Other assets already in the CWB network include Mission Terminal,

Federal legislation requires CWB to submit a plan to Ottawa to privatize the company before Aug. 1, 2016. The company unveiled the framework for its privatization plan last year, offering equity to farmers who contract grain through CWB. Farmers will be offered $5 worth of equity in the company after privatization for every tonne of CWB grain contracted in 2013-14. White said the equity plan will likely remain in place for five to seven years. “Every tonne of grain delivered to Bloom will be tracked for the purposes of CWB’s farmer ownership plan,” he said. “We want farmers to have a stake in their value chain after privatization.” The Bloom facility will be accessible from a number of truck routes, including the Trans-Canada and the Yellowhead highways, at several sites in Saskatchewan. It will be serviced by the Canadian National Railway’s mainline.

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION | FEDERAL TARGETS

Other sectors must also step up: CN Collaborative effort required | Increased rail volume depends on efficient loading and unloading at port, says railway BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian National Railway says western Canadian grain shipments have improved since Ottawa imposed weekly minimum shipping targets nearly three weeks ago. However, meeting a governmentimposed target that requires Canada’s two major railway companies to move a million tonnes of grain per week could be difficult unless everyone, including the Canadian Coast Guard, pitches in. “The Great Lakes have been frozen over by this winter’s polar vortex to a degree not seen in several decades,” CN president Claude Mongeau said in a March 24 news release.

“We need urgent support from the Canadian Coast Guard to open navigation channels if we are to meet the federal government’s order … requiring CN to move 500,000 tonnes, or close to 5,500 cars of grain per week.” CN also said terminal capacity on the West Coast could be an issue, especially if grain movements by rail continue to increase and Great Lakes traffic is affected by ice. “With rail volumes quickly increasing … CN is concerned that grain elevator terminals on Canada’s West Coast could soon hit capacity, limiting total export volumes before the Great Lakes shipping lane re-opens and a strong export grain program can start at the Port of Thunder Bay, Ontario,” the

CN news release said. “Railways are not the only ones facing a significant challenge in moving this 100-year grain crop. It is becoming clear that other supply chain participants — grain elevator companies, shipping lines and ports — are also straining to handle the harvest.” CN and its main competitor, Canadian Pacific Railway, have until early April to increase their combined grain movements to a million tonnes per week or face daily fines as high as $100,000. To meet that goal, each railway company would have to move an estimated 5,500 hopper cars of grain per week to unload destinations. But there are already signs that the

government-imposed targets will not be met. CN said March 24 that it spotted 4,456 hopper cars at western Canadian grain elevators in Week 33 of the 2013-14 crop year, which is the seven-day period ending March 17. CN said the performance marked the third week in a row that the company has delivered more than 4,000 grain cars to prairie elevators. It says it has spotted an average of 4,366 cars per week since late February. Mongeau said the arrival of more moderate spring temperatures has allowed the company to regain network fluidity. CN spokesperson Mark Hallman said in an email that the company has taken steps to ensure it has adequate

locomotives, cars and crews to move 5,500 cars per week. The company added five percent more train operating crews in the first quarter of 2014 and supplemented its locomotive fleet by 10 percent to help deal with traffic volumes, Hallman added. It is also adding 500 more grain hopper cars to its fleet, on top of 500 that were added last September when the enormity of the crop became more evident. Hallman said critical factors in achieving the 5,500 car target include timely loading and unloading of grain cars and “encouragement from the federal government to act in a collaborative, as opposed to accusative, manner in the grain supply chain.”

Grain cars are loaded at the Cargill grain handling facility at Blackie, Alta. CN says the support of the entire grain industry is required to get grain moving. |

LABOUR | PORT STRIKE

Trucker strike delays container cargo service, hurts reputation Back-to-work legislation possible | The labour dispute at Vancouver port is not affecting rail deliveries BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There was some improvement in the movement of containerized commodities last week as a trucker strike at Port Metro Vancouver entered its fourth week. The volume of container truck transactions was nearly 40 percent of normal toward the end of last week, the highest level since the strike began Feb. 26. According to the port, 30 percent of containers arrive and depart the port by truck, with the remainder by rail. The rail portion isn’t affected by the strike, so overall the port was operating at about 75 percent of its usual container volumes as of March 20.

There were reports that the B.C. government was expected to introduce back-to-work legislation early this week for the 250 unionized truckers on strike at the port, but it hadn’t done so as of The Western Producer’s publication deadline March 24. The port began suspending licenses of striking drivers last week, which includes about 1,000 non-unionized truckers. The port said the strike is disrupting $885 million worth of weekly container cargo. Gord Bacon, chief executive officer of Pulse Canada, said the combination of back-to-work legislation and the threat of truckers losing their licences should help restore con-

tainer service at the port. “We can’t have any of these disruptions without further eroding our checkered reputation as a reliable supplier,” he said. Customers are growing increasingly frustrated by Canada’s inability to get product to market. “When I started in the industry 17 years ago, we used to talk about a sixweek lead time to get product from prairie position to port and shipped to a market like India,” said Bacon. “ The question now is, is it six months? Is it eight months? What is it?” Ron Davidson, director of international trade with the Canadian Meat Council, said the strike is disrupting about $29 million of weekly beef and

pork exports to Pacific Rim countries. “It’s a substantive challenge for us,” he said. Davidson said buyers need to regularly stock their store shelves with meat, so they can’t have intermittent delivery of products. “If Canada isn’t able to be a reliable supplier that has an impact not only on our current sales but on our sales down the road,” he said. Bacon said Canada’s unreliable grain transportation system was a hot topic of discussion at the Pulses Conclave 2014 in February, a conference hosted by the India Pulses and Grains Association. Bacon talked to an importer from eastern India who was told he couldn’t book a vessel from Canada

until next year. Another importer was still waiting for the arrival of product he booked in October, which was posing serious problems because India is set to take off its second pulse harvest of 2013-14, which means buyers may not need his Canadian yellow peas. “The importance of timing of delivery into a market like India can’t be emphasized enough,” said Bacon. Indian buyers asked Bacon if the current transportation mess is the new norm for Canada. “I don’t think this is the kind of business environment that we would accept as being the new norm. We have to work hard to make the system work better,” was his reply.

CANOLA | HERBICIDE TOLERANCE

Growers to see new HT canola in 2016 Sulfonylurea tolerant canola | First new herbicide tolerant canola since mid 1990s BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian regulators have approved the first significant new herbicide tolerant canola system to come along in nearly two decades. Cibus Global has received authorization by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada to commercialize sulfonylurea tolerant canola. The approval paves the way for the company to enter its non-genetically modified hybrids into Canada’s variety registration system and seek regulatory approval for the herbicide that will be applied on the crop. Cibus will be field testing its SU Canola in Canada in 2014 and 2015. “We hope to have at least some commercial launch for farmers in 2016,” said Peter Beetham, the company’s senior vice-president of research. It will be the first new herbicide tolerant system since Roundup Ready, Liberty Link and Clearfield hit the market in the mid-1990s, with the exception of bromoxynil tolerant canola, which was approved a few years later. Sulfonylurea is a Group 2 herbicide that has primarily been used on cereal crops. Field trials conducted by Cibus indicate that SU Canola will provide better weed control than Liberty and Clearfield and similar control to Roundup. Yields have been similar to the top canola hybrids on the market. Beetham said it will be a one-pass system, which is a benefit over the Roundup Ready system, which can require the application of residual herbicides to control resistant weeds. Keith Gabert, an agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada, said the prospect of a new control system is exciting although there may be overlap with an existing product. “The technology sounds quite similar to Clearfield technology that we have now. That’s in the same group of chemistry,” he said. Sulfonylurea is closely related to Imidazolinone, the active ingredient in Clearfield, and sometimes weeds are cross-resistant to both chemistries. “It will be interesting to see how they would differentiate their product from the current Clearfield offering,” said Gabert. Beetham said it’s incorrect to assume all Group 2 systems are similar because there are five classes of chemicals within the Group 2 family. Gabert said Clearfield and SU Canola both face the challenge of the prevalence of Group 2 herbicides, which are registered for use on almost every crop grown in Western Canada. “Many growers have been very happy using Group 2 chemistry in their wheat and then choosing some other completely unrelated system in the year they’re growing canola,” said Gabert. SU Canola was commercialized in

the United States in 2013 with 1,000 acres seeded primarily in California. It didn’t have to go through the same regulatory hoops south of the border because it was deemed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be a product of mutagenesis rather than genetic modification. Company officials or iginally thought it would also be commercialized in Canada last year. “Going through the CFIA can be a longer process than one might expect,” said Beetham. BrettYoung will distribute the new system in Western Canada. The herbicide partner is expected to be Rotam, a Chinese manufacturer that is submitting a yet unnamed sulfonylurea herbicide for regulatory approval. Beetham expects the system to be a good fit in southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan, where growers are expected to plant 1.5 million acres of soybeans in 2014, the vast majority of which will be Roundup Ready varieties. “I’ve seen a lot of fields south of Winnipeg that look like soyola, they look like a mixture of soybean and canola,” he said. Ed Rempel, president of the Manitoba Canola Growers Association, said he looks at two things when selecting a canola variety to plant on his farm near Starbuck. “Will the canola wind up being a weed in Roundup Ready soybeans the following year? That’s the first thing I look at,” he said. “And the second very important thing that I look at is will there be any herbicide carryover that would affect my seeding winter wheat into that standing canola stubble in the fall of the application year?” He said SU Canola will have a good chance of success in Manitoba if the herbicide the company chooses doesn’t have a lingering effect on the winter wheat crop during dry years. Growers also have the option of planting Clearfield or Liberty Link canola to control volunteer canola in the next year’s soybean crop, but Beetham thinks SU Canola will be a better option. “Liberty is an expensive option that maybe doesn’t have the best weed control,” he said. Cibus hasn’t decided on a price for the system, but Beetham anticipated it will be less expensive than the competition because of lower seed and herbicide costs and the need for only one herbicide application. “We will be competitive and most likely a little bit cheaper,” he said. The company thinks the product should be able to develop a sizeable following over time, partly because of its non-GM status, which will allow it to be sold in the European Union and other GM-sensitive markets. “From all accounts, there is a growing demand for non-GM canola. We know that for sure in the U.S.,” said Beetham. “If we got 10 percent of the (canola) market, we’d be happy. We don’t expect that to happen overnight, obviously.”

WEATHER | SEEDING

Forecaster predicts cool spring on Prairies Early start unlikely | A late start to spring could affect seeding plans BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Growers should expect a sluggish start to spring, says the Weather Network. The long, cold winter will continue to exert its influence, resulting in below normal temperatures through much of April, especially in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. “The more east you go, the more chances of below seasonal temperatures you’re going to get,” said network meteorologist Elena Lappo. “In Alberta, it’s going to be a bit closer to normal temperatures.” Ed Rempel, a grower from Starbuck, Man., has heard a similar forecast calling for cooler-than-usual weather for the next three weeks. Manitoba growers who weren’t waterlogged have been spoiled the last few years, he said. Seeding has been starting by the end of April or early May, which usually results in bigger crops that avoid summer heat damage. “This year it may be that spring

seeding doesn’t commence until a more traditional time period like the middle of May,” said Rempel. It would compress seeding time and force farmers to juggle the recent pecking order for when crops go in the ground. “Typically on my farm, soybeans are the last crop to be seeded because we’re waiting for the soil to warm up,” said Rempel. That will change if seeding doesn’t start until mid-May because soybeans also require more frost-free days than most other crops. “The day that the soil is warm enough to seed beans, we will drop everything else and we will seed soybeans,” he said. Rempel doesn’t expect growers to abandon soybeans, but getting them in the ground will be trickier and could push canola and wheat seeding back later than it has been recently. Lappo said the cooler-than-normal forecast doesn’t mean there won’t be periods of above normal temperatures because spring weather is typi-

cally volatile. “There’s definitely going to be times when we’re going to be seeing above normal temperature spells,” she said. “They’re just going to be shorter.” The lingering cool conditions that have been around since December will eventually be broken as the days get longer and the sun becomes stronger. “Especially as we get into May, we’re definitely going to start seeing much warmer weather,” said Lappo. Spring precipitation is expected to be normal for most of the Prairies. “Sounds good to me,” said Rempel. The exception could be in the Alberta foothills, where a highpressure system from the north is expected to cause winds that normally blow from the west to blow from the east, which will produce showers against the base of the Rocky Mountains. Some areas of the Prairies have little snow cover, so those growers could be seeding earlier than normal if they get a prolonged hot spell in spring and don’t have excess rainfall.

ROADS | GRAIN MOVEMENT

Provinces, RMs flexible on road bans Damage to soft roads | Weather conditions will be considered in enforcing weight restrictions BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers who have waited most of the winter for a chance to move grain will soon be facing another hurdle: soft roads and mucky spring weather. The arrival of warmer temperatures means more grain is moving from prairie elevators and delivery opportunities are improving. Deliveries to primary elevators in Western Canada surpassed 416,000 tonnes in Week 32 of the 2013-14 crop year, which is the week ending March 16. It is the biggest weekly delivery since last September. However, warmer weather is presenting new challenges. Road conditions are less than ideal in many regions, and getting grain out of the yard, let alone from the farm to the elevator, can be messy. Annual weight restrictions are now in effect on many provincial high-

ways across Western Canada. However, government officials across the West say they will take a more flexible approach this year to enforcing weight restrictions. In Saskatchewan, provincial highways spokesperson Doug Wakabayashi said due to problems in the transportation system, the highways ministry will exercise flexibility in the management of road bans and seasonal weight restrictions. “What that means is that in certain circumstances, shippers can apply for permits that would allow for heavier-than-published spring weights.” Wakabayashi said Saskatchewan shippers can request a permit by contacting one of 15 regional highways ministry offices. Requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis with permits issued in instances where the risk of road damage has been identified as

minimal. Colder temperatures will also be considered. “We do need to protect against excessive road damage so that will obviously be the key consideration, but if there are circumstances where that risk is minimal, we’ll certainly consider permits” he said. Doug Dobrowolski, president of the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, said the province and the AMM are working together to ensure that grain can be moved efficiently when provincial and municipal road bans and weight restrictions are normally in place. The province plans to assess local road conditions on a regular basis and decide on a case by case basis whether restrictions should be imposed. “What the province has done in the past is they’ve had fixed dates for road restrictions,” Dobrowolski said. “Now it’s a different formula. They

(consider) temperatures, they consider road conditions and they consider frost conditions, so it allows for a longer season that guys can run without restrictions, and it seems to be working in Manitoba.” Rural municipalities have jurisdiction over their own roads, meaning rural councils are responsible for applying bans and weight restrictions. Dobrowolski said municipal road bans are often applied at the same time that provincial weight restrictions come into effect. However, municipal and provincial authorities are taking a more flexible approach this year due to problems surrounded grain transportation. AMM is part of a provincial task force, which has identified areas where on-farm grain stocks are unusually high and is taking steps to ease restrictions on grain movement.

When trains come, permits will allow delivery BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Alberta farmers will be able to ask for special permits this spring to haul grain to the elevators despite the road bans. Transportation minister Wayne Drysdale said his department is working with the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties to allow farmers to haul grain from their farms to the elevator on roads normally banned from travel because of soft road conditions. “The last thing we want is the rail companies to say, ‘we’re here now to pick it up’ and you can’t get it delivered. We’ll make sure that doesn’t happen,” Drysdale told the recent AAMD&C convention. “The trains finally get the grain

moving this week and the road bans come on. We’re going to work together to give out some special permits for farmers that need to move grain to elevators.” AAMD&C president Bob Barss said the association is encouraging municipalities to allow farmers to haul grain on the banned roads. “It will take a little bit of work and a little bit of co-ordination, but I think the end result is worth it if we can make sure when the trains come the grain will be there,” he said. “We’ll have extra work to make sure that road is maintained. If it shows wear, we may have to move it to the next unbanned road. The roads are going to be soft, but we have to support our industry and support our producers. We’ll have to do some extra grading and extra gravelling to make sure we move the grain.”

Barss said he hopes municipalities and the transportation department can work together so that farmers need to obtain only one special permit to haul grain and not have to apply to both their local municipality and the department. Barss said he’s not sure how much road damage will be caused by the ban exemptions because no one knows how much grain is still to be moved this spring. “It might be a little more maintenance, but to support our industry it is worth it.” Drysdale said the special permit would be similar to permits that farmers require when hauling wide loads of hay. “It won’t be that hard for farmers to phone in where they’re going and what they’re hauling. They still have to be legal.”

E D M O N TO N — It ’s t a k e n 3 6 years, but the 430 kilometres of road from Slave Lake to east of High Level in northern Alberta will finally be completely paved. The final stretch of pavement will be put on Highway 88 this summer in a project that began in 1978. “I want to thank the Alberta government,” Mackenzie County councilor Bill Neufeld told provincial transportation minister Wayne Drysdale during the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties conference. “It will be a real benefit to our farmers. We have no rail into the communities of La Crete and Fort Vermilion. All the grain goes out by truck and all the freight comes in by truck, so we thank you very much for the completion.”

WAYNE DRYSDALE ALBERTA TRANSPORTATION MINISTER

Drysdale announced 2,500 km of highway rehabilitation during his presentation. Work on the ring roads around Edmonton and Calgary is nearing completion, Drysdale said, and the focus can now shift to smaller highway projects. The government has budgeted $5.1 billion over three years to expand and rehabilitate provincial roads. “We are happy to be once again in a place where we can focus on our smaller highways. We know municipalities are eager to see work underway in their regions,” Drysdale said. “We had some tough times over the years and made some tough decisions. It’s always easy to cut maintenance when you are looking for money, and my department lost almost a billion dollars in the tough times. You can get away with that for a couple years. I am really happy they are putting money back into rehab and back into maintenance.” The province has 28,000 km of paved highway. AAMD&C president Bob Barss said he is happy the government is focusing on road maintenance and rehabilitation. “We’re glad to see they’re doing that, and we’re glad to work with the government,” he said. “As municipalities, we know we can’t do everything in one year. We have to do a percentage every year to get back on track. I think the government has shown the initiative to start that program and move ahead. It’s a good start. If you pick up 10 percent of the roads every year, it will take 10 years, but if you don’t do anything you’ll lose that infrastructure completely.”

Little optimism in Black Sea forecast Acreage decline | Tight money and dry conditions will likely reduce crops in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Decreased acreage, a lack of financing and troubling weather are hurting Black Sea crop prospects, says an analyst from that part of the world. “There are a lot of signs showing that the 2014 harvest won’t be the same as 2013,” said Olivier Bouillet, executive director of Agritel International, which bills itself as the European leader in agricultural market-

ing expertise. Winter crops were delayed by two to three weeks because of excess rainfall, but a mild fall allowed crop development to catch up before winter dormancy. Ukraine’s winter crop area declined by 4.4 percent from 2013, including a six percent drop in winter wheat plantings, which accounts for 97 percent of the country’s annual wheat output. It isn’t a big decline, but much of it occurred in the north and central

regions, which are two of the country’s most productive regions. Russia’s winter grain planting fell by six percent, but the 30.2 million acres of winter wheat was in line with last year. Winter wheat accounts for 49 percent of Russia’s total wheat production. Kazakhstan doesn’t plant much winter wheat. Crop conditions for the winter crops are generally good, and losses are expected to be six to seven per-

cent, which isn’t bad. However, Bouillet doubts the area w ill be reseeded in the spr ing because of a lack of financing. In addition to winter wheat problems, there are doubts about spring crops. Spring seeding in Ukraine is about two weeks ahead of last year’s pace. Growers have planted 1.7 million acres. Planting won’t begin on a wide scale in Russia until April. Russia’s agriculture ministry forecasts 74.8 million acres of spring grain, which is about the same as last year. Much of the Black Sea region is becoming increasingly dry, with most crop growing areas receiving 50 percent of normal rainfall in the past six months. “Soil reserves are quite low for sure. Lower than last year,” the Kiev-based Bouillet told a recent webinar organized by DTN. The forecast calls for above normal temperatures for the next 15 days, which is good for seeding and germination but could exacerbate the dry conditions. A particularly critical time for rainfall will be in the April 20 to May 1 period. “Otherwise, for sure there will be an impact,” said Bouillet. Poor profit margins last year will influence crop input decisions this year. Margins for all major crops were down significantly from 2012 levels. Corn was the worst, with growers earning $40 per acre compared to $240 the previous year. Widespread currency devaluation in all three Black Sea countries is also reducing farmers’ purchasing power. Bouillet expects most farmers, including large operations, to use less fertilizer, quality seed and pesticides in 2014 compared to last year.

The upshot of the smaller winter grain acreage, dry weather, poor 2013 margins and currency devaluation will be reduced production from a key grain exporting region of the world. For the region, Agritel forecasts 85.5 million tonnes of wheat production, down from 89.8 million tonnes last year. Barley production is expected to fall to 25.7 million tonnes from 26.5 million tonnes. Rapeseed output is expected to drop to 3.3 million tonnes from 3.6 million tonnes in 2013. And those are the most optimistic forecasts. “The figures that are here are, for us, the upper (end) of what is today possible,” said Bouillet. He said production could easily fall below those levels with farmers opting for poor quality inputs, especially if the much-needed spring rains fail to materialize. Agritel sees smaller 2013-14 Black Sea wheat exports than the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It recently lowered its Ukrainian wheat export number to 9.5 million tonnes because wheat has been taking a back seat to corn exports in that country. The USDA’s forecast is for 10 million tonnes. Crimean ports accounted for less than 10 percent of Ukraine’s grain exports, so Russia’s annexation of the region shouldn’t have much impact on Ukraine’s exports. The analyst is forecasting 16 million tonnes of Russian wheat exports compared to 17.5 million tonnes by the USDA. Agritel said Russia is having difficulty sourcing wheat from Kazakhstan for export. Agritel is forecasting 7.8 million tonnes of exports from Kazakhstan, which is higher than the USDA’s estimate of 6.5 million tonnes. However, Agritel’s number includes wheat flour.

Funds’ shift to long position feeds crop rally Crops catch speculator interest | Overseas turmoil and dry, snowless wheat conditions fuel turnaround in prices BY ED WHITE

FUNDS GO LONG

WINNIPEG BUREAU

Crops are hot commodities again, only a few months after many wrote them off as yesterday’s news. Speculative investors have piled into a number of crop futures since the beginning of the year, helping drive recent gains but also threatening the market because of the temporary nature of speculative money. “The speculative longs, when they’re right they’re really right,” said Oklahoma producer Jerod McDaniel, who follows the markets. “But they’ll also be wrong some time.” The big three North American crop futures contracts for corn, soybeans and wheat have all risen strongly since January, with wheat and soybeans r ising around $1.50 per bushel. Cor n has risen about half as much. The strong surge has been accompanied by a dramatic flow of speculative money into crop futures, with wheat reversing out of a large short position and now being net positive. Corn has moved from net short to a strong net long and soybeans have gone from moderately net long to heavily long.

Large fund speculators can add momentum to crop futures trends. This chart of the funds’ position in the corn market shows they held strong net long positions through much of 2011 and 2012 helping to sustain high corn prices, but moved into a net short position as the 2013-14 crop year began. They moved back into a net long position in February, helping to propel prices oﬀ their lows.

Long positions show investors expect rising prices, while short positions are a bet that prices will fall. Analysts point to a number of reasons for the in-flow of money to crop futures, including technical triggers, news events and a reaction to last year’s severe sell-off. Rich Nelson of Allendale, Inc. said the cr isis between Russia and

Ukraine has prompted some speculators to think prices may increase, and they have been trying to get out ahead of that possibility. Dry and snowless conditions in the U.S. hard red winter wheat area have also helped, as has dryness in Russia. Mike Krueger of the Money Farm said strong U.S. soybean exports have

also helped drive the speculative position higher. “The fear all along (through the end of 2013) has been that when our exports eventually slow down and we get back to talking about the big crops in South America, we’d see (speculators) liquidate those big longs, but boy that hasn’t happened,” said Krueger. The bullish surprises in the January U.S. Department of Agriculture reports also helped, he said. The re-emergence of speculative funds in crop futures brings back a major factor of the post-2006-bull market, but one that some had written off. Many thought that the commodity bull market was ending and that speculators were unlikely to remain in commodities such as crops much longer. There was little reason for speculators to expect many fireworks in crop futures, especially with world markets facing ample supplies of most crops. However, investors are now starting to think crops could be more exciting this year because of the unexpected combination of Ukraine, logistics problems in Canada and parts of the United States, dryness in world winter wheat areas, a late spring and the

potential for a recovery rally from the long 2012-13 selloff. “They’ve gradually gotten back in,” said Krueger. Nelson said speculative money has also rushed back into the overall commodities complex as world stock market volatility provoked some to spread out their bets. Krueger said the big long positions have helped take crop prices back up to levels that growers will be much more comfortable with. However, they are a risk to the longterm stability of today’s prices because they’re not likely to remain if anything challenges the bullish hopes. “The threat (that the funds will bail out of long positions and even go net short again) is still there,” said Krueger. “If both corn and beans, if they get bearish news in next Monday’s (March 31) USDA report, that could trigger fund liquidation.” The USDA report is the annual survey of farmers’ seeding intentions. The department will release its quarter grain stocks report the same day. Private forecasters expect farmers will increase their soybean acreage and trim corn area.

OILSEED | OPTIMISM

Positive outlook for EU rapeseed may raise harvest projections HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — Rapeseed crops in the top four European Union producers Germany, France, Britain and Poland have all come though the winter well, crop watchers say. As a result, optimism about the 2014 harvest is increasing. “I think the mild winter means people are going to start increasing crop forecasts,” one German rapeseed trader said. “All we need is normal spring and summer weather without major droughts, and I think yield estimates will be raised.” The European Commission expects the EU’s 2014 rapeseed crop to be 20.7 million tonnes, slightly down from 20.8 million tonnes last year. French analyst Strategie Grains is more optimistic, putting the 2014 EU rapeseed crop at 21.5 million tonnes. A mild winter in Germany, which is the EU’s largest rapeseed producer, has helped plants develop, but a reduction in seeded area means a smaller crop is expected. Germany’s farm co-operatives association expects this year’s winter rapeseed crop will fall 3.2 percent to 5.57 million tonnes following a 1.8 percent reduction in seeding to 3.53 million acres. “Rapeseed is about a month ahead of last year’s development and 14 days ahead of the long-term average because of the warm weather and no significant frost damage,” a German trader said. “I think the harvest forecasts will be increased.” Mild and dry weather in France, the

second largest producer, allowed most rapeseed crops to recover after heavy autumn and winter rain raised fears of significant damage. “Yields will be much better than last year, but without this excess of water they would have been excellent,” said Fabien Lagarde from the oilseed growers’ institute Cetiom. Farm office FranceAgriMer estimates French farmers have planted 3.76 million acres of rapeseed, up six percent from last year. Rapeseed appears in good shape in Britain following recent warm, dry weather. Production should also be boosted by a slight rise in seeded area. “The warm weather has brought the crop on nicely: so far so good is the headline,” said Jack Watts, senior analyst with the Home-Grown Cereals Authority. Watts estimated that seeded area should rise around three percent. Last year’s crop fell 16.8 percent to 2.13 million tonnes after a cut in seeded acres and a 12 percent drop in yields. The drop was partly because a higher proportion of lower yielding spring rapeseed was seeded. “It is a completely different outlook compared to a year ago,” Watts said. “This year should see a return to a more normal cropping mix.” Polish crops have also come through the winter with little frost damage, but a cut in seeded area means a smaller crop is likely, said Wojtek Sabaranski of analysts Sparks Polska. Sparks Polska estimates Polish farmers have planted 2.08 million acres for this year’s crop, down nine percent on the year.

PULSES | ACREAGE FORECAST

Low wheat prices put shine on peas, lentils Acres hampered by seed shortage | Analysts’ planting predictions for pulses more than double Agriculture Canada’s BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Analysts think Agriculture Canada is way off the mark with its 2014 forecast for pulse acres. In its latest supply and disposition report issued March 20, the departm e n t p re d i c t s a n i n e p e rc e n t increase in pea plantings and a three percent hike in lentils. It is a far cry from what people in the pulse industry expect. “Pulse acres are going to be up this year because of the slow movement of wheat,” said Denis Gregoire, president of Gregoire Seed Farms Ltd. He is forecasting a 30 percent increase in lentils, which would result in a record 3.5 million acres of the crop. “When wheat prices are depressed, you’re going to get more pulse crops,” he said. Gregoire grows green peas on his seed farm in North Battleford, Sask. Demand for the crop has been through the roof. “If I could have had my whole farm

in green peas last year I’d be sitting pretty nice,” he said. Gregoire was sold out of green pea seed by the middle of December. “I probably could have filled three pages with names of people who called after we were sold out,” he said. “There is a shortage of green pea seed again for planting this year.” He is forecasting a 14 to 15 percent increase in the crop. It would have been more if not for the lack of seed. Yellow peas will also be up because of the high cost of fertilizer, but he didn’t have a specific estimate for that crop. Marlene Boersch, partner in Mercantile Consulting Venture, agreed pulses will be a popular choice this year, especially lentils. “It’s entirely possible that we could increase acres by 25 percent,” she said. “Red lentils have performed very, very well. We’re seeing another ramp up in prices recently.” Exporters shipped a record 877,000 tonnes of lentils in the first half of 2013-14, and Stat Publishing expects a record 1.79 million tonnes will be shipped by the end of the marketing year, barring further transportation problems. Boersch said lentils have the luxury of being able to move through the East Coast, avoiding the west coast transportation logjam. “We could see very good acreage. I’m not super concerned about it at the same time because the carryout should be within reason,” she said. Stat Publishing said market participants are predicting two million acres of red lentils and more than three million acres of all classes. It is predicting a significant decline in ending stocks in 2013-14 because of strong movement of the crop. Weber Commodities Ltd. estimated a 19 percent increase in lentil plantings and a 20 percent jump in peas in the March issue of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ market newsletter. Boersch said peas are a tougher call

because the crop was flying out the door early in the 2013-14 campaign but has since cooled off. “The strongest months are way behind us. They were in September (and) October,” she said. “Since then we have been below the 200,000 (tonne per month) mark.” One positive sign is that sales to India were strong in January, which is the last month for which statistics are

available. Boersch said acreage should be up, but the returns per acre won’t be that attractive if yellow pea prices fall below $6 per bushel. She was pessimistic about the chickpea outlook. Exports for the first six months of the year were 37 percent below the previous year’s pace. “They’ve been such a dog,” said Boersch.

“With the transportation problems, nobody has been paying attention to them.” There has been a good run on chickpea prices in India and Australia. “We’re really seeing very little of that here, so it’s not an exciting crop,” she said. “I think we’ll continue to drop in acres, no question.” Agriculture Canada is forecasting a 13 percent decline in chickpeas.

Market watches soy-corn switch MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

he U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Prospective Plantings report comes out March 31 so watch for our same day coverage at Producer.com and our Twitter feeds. The market expects more soybeans and less corn this year. The question is the magnitude of the switch. About a month ago, the USDA forecast a record soybean crop of 79.5 million acres, up from the previous record of 77.45 million.

But soybeans have rallied since then, propelled by the prospect of tight U.S. stocks at the start of the new crop year and weather problems in South America. A g r i c u l t u re m a g a z i n e Fa r m Futures surveyed readers this week and posted a forecast of 82.9 million acres. Agricultural advisory service Doane has its own poll that put soybeans at 83.6 million acres. These big numbers have not yet hammered the new crop November soybeans futures contract lower. Through most of this month, the November contract has traded in a 20-cent range of about $11.70 to $11.90 per bushel through March. Looking at corn, the USDA forecast in February was for 92 million acres, down from 95.4 million seeded in 2013. Farm Futures sees 92.06 million acres and Doane forecasts 90.9 million.

As for wheat, the market has been focused on the declining conditions of the U.S. winter wheat crop. This week, the ratings in Texas and Oklahoma again fell significantly while Kansas dipped only a little. The forecast through to early April was for more dry weather. Farm Futures sees 12.8 million acres of spring wheat and Doane put the number at 13.5 million. The latter would be more than a million acres higher than last year’s 11.6 million. Farm Futures put durum area at 1.8 million acres and Doane put it at two million acres. Last year’s seeded area was 1.5 million. If the USDA survey departs a lot from these forecasts, then watch for strong price movement on March 31. Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

CATTLE ON FEED | ECONOMICS

High profits see U.S. feedlots chasing more cattle in Feb. Placements were down in California but up in Iowa, Nebraska and Texas CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The number of cattle placed in U.S. feedlots in February grew 15 percent from a year ago, a government report showed March 21. Record-high prices for cattle encouraged feedlots to bring in more calves for fattening. The U.S. Department of Agriculture report showed February placements at 1.650 million head, up 15 percent from 1.438 million a year earlier. Analysts expected a 9.2 percent increase. “This is an aberrantly large placements figure,” said Linn Group analyst John Ginzel. “Apparently the high profitability of cattle being marketed now gives the feed yards a lot of money to burn holes in their pockets, so they’re out chasing cattle.” Feedlots made an average profit of $44 per head in February on cattle sold to meat companies, compared to $45 in January, as calculated by the Livestock Marketing Information Center in Colorado. Drought-stricken grazing pastures in California drove cattle outside the state to feed yards in the U.S. Plains. USDA data showed that the number of cattle placed in feedlots in

California last month dropped 24 percent from last year, but those in Iowa jumped 41 percent, Nebraska rose 26 percent and Texas increased 22 percent. Reduced placements in California suggest many of the cattle there may have already been moved out of the state, said Elaine Johnson, an analyst with CattleHedging.com. “In Nebraska they have plenty of feed, including distillers grains, that make their cost of gains significantly cheaper than in states in the south,” Johnson said. Rich Nelson, chief strategist with Allendale Inc., said cattle placements increased 6.6 percent from October to February, compared to the same period in the previous year. “We’re going to have a wall of cattle hitting in the mid to late summer period, which will come on top of the typical increase in slaughters that time of year.” Burdensome supplies in the summer and early fall could bring relief to beef prices that are at record highs because of tight supplies, he said. The average beef retail pr ice reached a record $5.58 per pound in

February, based on USDA data. The USDA put the feedlot cattle supply as of March 1 at 10.790 million head, down one percent from 10.845 million a year earlier. Analysts had expected a drop of 1.2 percent. The supply outcome was the smallest for March since 10.420 million in 1999. Analysts said last month’s placement increase resulted in a supply outcome that was bigger than the previous month but still smaller than last year. The March 1 supply figure confirms cattle numbers remain tight after several years of drought damaged crops, which reduced the overall U.S. herd to the lowest level in 63 years. The government showed that packers bought 1.549 million cattle in February, down three percent from 1.603 million last year. Analysts had expected a 3.3 percent decline. February’s marketing result was the smallest for the month since the USDA began the data set in 1996. The cattle-on-feed report had little impact on Chicago live cattle futures when trade opened March 24.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS POST RECORDS A tight hog supply and rising wholesale pork prices led to higher bids for hogs in the United States last week. The spread of porcine epidemic diarrhea, which has killed millions of piglets, is behind the supply shortage. Retailers have been stocking up on pork, hoping to avoid shortages once the weather warms and demand for the barbecue season and BLT sandwiches heats up. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered to slaughter plants rose to a

record $91 US per hundredweight March 21, up from $86 March 14. The estimated pork cut-out value at plant was $131.50 per cwt., up from $124.75 March 14. U.S. federal slaughter to March 22 was estimated at 2.042 million, up from 2.024 million the previous week. It totalled 2.131 million last year at the same time.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls with desirable weights reached $4 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers

sold up to $3.85. Support came from U.S. demand fuelled by the weaker loonie. No new live market data was available. Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

Fed cattle prices rose in light trade. Fed steers averaged $141.81 per hundredweight, up $3.85, while heifers averaged $142.21, up $1.91. Most of the trade was dressed with a range of $238-$238.50 per cwt. basis the feedlot. A few long-fed heifers traded at a strong price premium. Most of this week’s trade developed before the Chicago live cattle futures fell and the cash to futures basis widened slightly to -$22.54. Chicago live cattle futures fell when beef prices came off record highs and June futures fell below the 10-day moving average. As well, trades pushed prices down in expectation of a higher placement number in the U.S. Department of Agriculture cattle on feed report. U.S. buyer interest in the Canadian cash market was light. There are problems booking trucks to haul south. Sales volume was about steady at 12,331 head. The weekly western Canadian fed slaughter volume to March 15 fell 14 percent to 32,523 head. Weekly fed exports to March 8 rose 17 percent to 9,936 head. Most years, spring high prices are posted around April 1. This year, a record fed price was set in the fourth week of January. This week’s average is the second highest. Most fed cattle in feedlots have been priced, and Canadian packers are comfortably bought. The market should begin to trend lower seasonally.

COWS STEADY Western Canadian cow slaughter was 5,288 head, the smallest kill so far this year. Supplies have been manageable, other than calving culls and a few speculative cows bought last fall and marketed now. Packers are lifting cows from commercial auctions in a timely fashion because of seasonally tighter numbers. D1, D2 cows traded in a range of $90-$110 to average $99.60 per cwt. D3 cows ranged $80-$94 to average $87. Those prices are $18-$23 higher than the same time last year. Dressed cows were $195-$200. Exports totalled 6,533 head.

Recently, exports have trended below year ago volumes. Cow prices usually rise this time of year.

FEEDERS STRONGER Placements into western Canadian feedlots are running 40 percent ahead of last year. Feeder marketings are brisk, and demand for all classes of cattle remains strong. Moisture conditions have improved in parts of the United States, and there are signs that producers are stabilizing or rebuilding their herds. Demand for replacement quality heifers should be strong, and some of those cattle could come from Canada, creating a strong marketing opportunity. Weekly feeder exports to March 8 fell six percent to 12,732 head, but that was 54 percent larger than the same time last year. Barley bids for April delivery are around $4 a bushel delivered to southern Alberta, which is a slight premium over current cash prices. Feedlots and grass buyers are concerned that the number of feeders available in April and May might be smaller.

U.S. BEEF RALLIES The U.S. Choice cutout was $241.57 US per cwt., up 27 cents over the previous week, and Select was $234.77, up $2.10. Choice traded as high at $244.08 during the week, which was a record high. U.S. steer carcass weights dropped seasonally to 858 pounds from 866 lb. over the last two weeks. The trend could accelerate and affect grading performance. This cattle market information is selected from the weekly report from Canfax, a division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

CRAIG’S VIEW

ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE | FUNDING

Ottawa must improve plan for infrastructure funding

he much-desired increase in rail grain hauling will unfortunately coincide with the annual spring road ban season. Municipal and provincial governments traditionally put weight restrictions on road traffic in the spring to limit damage as the frost melts and roadbeds become soggy. The urgent need to move grain might cause some jurisdictions to relax the road bans, and in other cases the restrictions might be ignored in the interest of immediate economic need. After all, no one wants the railways to start spotting rail cars at elevators and then find there isn’t grain to fill them. Unfortunately, that will likely mean highways, rural roads and grids will take a beating. The cost of repairing those rural roads should not fall entirely on the shoulders of farmers through their property taxes. The federal government, through inadequate shipper protections in the Fair Rail Freight Service Act of last year, contributed to the environment that allowed the railways to fall well short of meeting demand. So Ottawa should provide money to help rural municipalities repair infrastructure damaged by spring grain hauling this year, just as they have in the past helped repair flooded out roads. After all, the federal government might generate revenue from the grain rail crisis if the railways fail to provided the 11,000 hopper cars per week as required under the recent federal order. That order provides for fines of $100,000 per day. Even if fines are not triggered, money should be found to help fiscally stretched rural municipalities deal with a problem not of their making. However, beyond the short-term need, senior governments need to increase infrastructure improvements. Thankfully, governments have started to address a long history of under-funding. The federal government’s recent budget brought in a new version of the Building Canada Plan, which is an infrastructure

funding program that will spend $53 billion over 10 years. The money is predictable and portions of it will be available to provinces, territories and municipalities for cost-shared projects. Another example is Saskatchewan’s 4.7 percent increase in infrastructure spending this year, with $405.2 million going to road improvements. These measures are praiseworthy, but more must be done because infrastructure shortfalls are limiting Canada’s growth and prosperity. By most forecasts, the federal budget should be back to a surplus situation next year. Many political analysts note that the extra money would allow the Conservatives to introduce a “pre-election budget.” In such situations in the past, the federal Conservatives have tended to identify voting groups to attract with specially tailored programs. They’ve created a host of tax breaks or tax expenditures as a sop to a range of demographics, from parents with kids in sports to transport riders to first time home buyers to apprentices. These heavily advertised giveaways clutter up the tax code and do nothing to make Canada more competitive. A better-funded strategic infrastructure strategy would do more for Canadians, creating economic opportunities, jobs and wealth and making lives better. Infrastructure spending fits well with the government’s trade agenda. You can’t expect to sign deals with Asian countries and then expect the increased commerce to use the same overused roads, rails and ports. The government must also look at how to stimulate better performance and infrastructure investment from the two major railways. These could include stronger and easier-to-enforce railway performance standards, expanded interswitching distances to allow more competition and an examination of joint running rights.

NEIGHBOURLY ACTS | PITCHING IN

Extra hands always appreciated at the ranch or community hall COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

“

any hands make light work,” goes the old saying. We’ve probably all heard or lived those words. It comes from an old English playwright named Heywood, Google tells me, but it’s as true today as it was in 1546. I thought about it when I was folding and unfolding chairs for a township officers meeting, folding and

unfolding chairs for coffee after church, folding and unfolding chairs for the Cub Scout pinewood derby … you get the idea. If you’re part of a small town, a community or a group of one kind or another, you get to know the racks of folding chairs, and tables too. When you have a job like setting up or tearing down a room full of folding chairs, it can be ditch-digging monotonous. But, with many hands, it’s a snap, and sociable. My favourite story about the appreciation for an extra hand came from Nora, who used to live as neighbours to our ranch with her husband, Bud, and a house full of kids. For most of her life, she spoke of my dad like he was a knight in shining armour, with a halo to boot. I always thought he was, too, but it was inter-

esting to hear someone else talk about him like that. As I remember hearing it, the knight status came when Dad was a young, single fella just starting out as a rancher. There wasn’t any television or internet, so sometimes you just rode over to the neighbours to visit. Nora said she was just starting the tedious job of milking a dozen cows by hand one evening when she saw this vision to the east: a young, handsome cowboy riding in on a white horse (it was probably a grey colt that he was breaking, but she remembered it as a shining white steed). The rest of her family were out in the hay field, or elsewhere, and Dad, being a helpful fella, just pulled up an extra three-legged stool and helped her hand milk those cows until the job was done.

She never forgot the gesture of a young cowboy who didn’t hesitate to step down from his horse and milk a barn full of cows with her. I remember Dad saying that she might have also been surprised at how good he was at the job. He’d always milked a couple cows for his mother and neighbours as a kid growing up and got to be pretty good at it. Extra hands make light work, and can cut the milking time in half. I was reminded of small gestures like that when the feed truck came out last week. I felt bad that I wasn’t in the yard when he got there and he had to open a gate, open the top to our old wooden granary and slide the boards in that keep the grain from coming out the door where I fill the buckets. He wasn’t too concerned and waved

off my apology. Then while the grain was unloading, I started carrying the buckets I’d previously filled out to the feed troughs for the calves. Our feed man just picked up some pails and pitched in with me until the bunks were all full. He probably didn’t think it was a big thing, but it reminded me of that old story about Dad and Nora and the long line of milk cows, and folding chairs, community and neighbourly behaviour. I don’t call around every time I’m ordering feed to see if the price is the most competitive right down to the penny. But when delivery comes with that kind of service, the penny becomes a little less relevant. Ryan Taylor is a rancher, writer and senator in the state legislature from Towner, North Dakota.

BUDGETS | PRAIRIE PROVINCES

Canada’s global trade awakening begins

Holding pattern budgets create ho-hum result

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS

wo new trade deals have given Canadian agriculture a muchneeded lift in recent months. The new potential openings in the Europe Union and South Korea are timely, coming in the wake of the behemoth $1 trillion U.S. farm bill that clearly undermines the Canadian livestock industry with its protectionist country-of-origin labelling rules. Canada’s true global awakening is nigh. The country now has deals covering the east and west: call it strategic global trade coverage. In the east, Canada will gain access to Europe, while in the west, it will connect with many of the world’s fastest growing economies, such as Korea. The Canada-Korea trade agreement will likely be easier to ratify, given the number of countries involved. Nonetheless, both pacts are equally crucial for the future of Canadian agriculture. The eastward-facing EU deal will give our beef and pork industry increased access to a market of 500 million affluent consumers and position Canada as a portal between America and Europe. With the St. Lawrence Seaway acting as a watery highway, Ontario and Quebec are likely to benefit from this deal. We can see that Canada’s first trade deal in the Asia-Pacific market and commitment to Korea will also better position us at the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiating table. The forecasted economic expansion in that region, which includes Chile, Japan, Malaysia and Singa-

Canada has finally started to open doors to trade opportunities after years of outdated ag policies, says a food policy analyst. | FILE PHOTO pore, is almost unprecedented and will become a wealth creation engine over the next 20 years. Regrettably, Canada is hardly trading with these countries right now. British Columbia and the Prairies, which transact more with Korea than other regions, will likely look to capitalize on the trade opportunity. With this agreement, Canada will just be catching up with the EU, Australia and the United States in the livestock arena because these countries and regions already have trade agreements with Korea, the portal to the lucrative Asian market. Ottawa estimates that the deal will boost Canada’s exports to South Korea by 32 percent. In actuality, instead of seeing agricultural trade tip in Korea’s favour at

a rate of around 14 percent per year, the deal will stop the hemorrhaging. This deal will likely put Canadian beef producers on a more level footing with the U.S. and other counterparts for the Asian market. Let’s face it, the Canadian beef and pork sectors have been experiencing periods of severe and prolonged financial strain with exceptionally narrow margins, increasing liabilities and general economic stress taking their toll. COOL, unfavourable currency exchanges, increasing input costs, BSE, swine flu: there always seems to be something on the horizon curtailing growth. As a result, more players in these sectors are leaving. Often overwhelmed by the everpowerful pro-supply management

lobby, Ottawa never ventured to move boldly on the international front. Just recently, dairy farmers raised a fearful din when Ottawa allowed European cheese to be included in the Comprehensive European Trade Agreement, and it likely won’t die down any time soon. However, it seems Ottawa won’t be stopping. Our inward-looking agricultural policies have reached a dangerous point of obsolescence. Demand for traditional commodities such as milk and beef plateaued years ago as the country grew older and more ethnically diverse. With our relatively small population and abundant access to natural resources, agriculture can expand only by looking outside our borders. Our trade deficit in the agriculture and agri-food sector has now surpassed $8 trillion. Given our strengths and competitive advantage, our deficit should at least be a surplus. The risk-mitigating era in Canadian agriculture may be over, now that the CWB monopoly is gone and signs are appearing that supply management is reaching its expiry date. At any rate, Ottawa is clearly forcing the debate on the issue domestically by building its case globally. It could help the Conservatives win a second consecutive majority next year. What is certain is that Canada has shown its willingness to play ball with the rest of the trading world, finally.

TRANSPORTATION | SEEDING CONCERNS

Grain delivery woes could spill into seeding woes HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

t’s been a long, cold winter, but seeding could be underway on the southern Prairies within a month and within six weeks in most other areas. Spring seeding is always a rush, but this spring has some quirks that could make it particularly stressful. The same transportation issues that have hurt grain movement have also hampered fertilizer deliveries. In addition, fertilizer prices have escalated dramatically since last fall, and the price risk has suppliers hesitant to own product. This combination of events means more fertilizer than usual must still be moved into position. And now,

road bans are hindering movement. Scrambling for fertilizer is one factor that could tie up time and energy. Spot shortages have been occurring with alarming regularity each spring, and sometimes producers have had to stop seeding while waiting for fertilizer to arrive. Industry observers warn that delays could be more prevalent this year, particularly if farmers across Western Canada end up in the field at the same time. Seeding typically takes precedence over grain deliveries, but this spring will be different. With rail movement finally increasing, producers will be more inclined to find a way to deliver grain even if they’re busy with seeding and their trucks and augers are otherwise deployed. A significant amount of grain is still housed in bags or in temporary storage, and producers will be anxious to capitalize on any movement that materializes. With shipments so dismal through the winter, many producers are stuck with moving bagged grain into bins rather than to termi-

nals. In some cases, grain is being rebagged. Juggling grain to preserve quality takes time away from seeding preparations. Some producers have all their planting seed ready and in place, but in many other instances, seed still needs to be cleaned or bought and then delivered. There will be some significant acreage shifts this spring with more field peas, lentils, flax and soybeans, which means more time spent tracking down seed supplies. Securing seed will continue right up until the time it goes into the ground. On the positive side, the risk of flooding does not appear to be widespread, so producers may be spared the agony of waiting helplessly for fields to dry. As well, there isn’t any significant amount of crop left out from last fall that needs to be combined before seeding. Still, this spring’s extra tasks could become worrisome when added to all the usual complicating factors. For instance, many producers will

have new or new-to-them equipment that has to be moved to the farm and checked out before use. This might be a tractor or an air drill bought from a dealer or spring auction sales. Or it might be a smaller purchase, such as a new seed treater or a chem handler. Either way, it will take some time to figure out. In this interconnected world of instant communications and just-intime everything, producers find themselves reliant on all the other links in the supply chain. Seeding progress can suffer when something goes wrong, whether it’s the global positioning system, the supply of diesel fuel, employee issues or the availability of crop protection products. Farms are getting larger and each seeding unit is covering more ground. Time is always in short supply. This spring, watch out for unusual snags that could impede progress.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

ll the provincial budgets have come down. Yawn. Did I mention they were boring? Unless some devilish details emerge from the bowels of the budget documents, these are among the dullest budgets ever. Last year was quite a different story. In Alberta, for instance, a tentative conversation began around implementing a sales tax. The province has been saved from that debate this year by a newly emerging boom, funded, as always, by oil. Still, the province continues to borrow, and borrow big. Alberta plans to take on slightly more than $5 billion in debt to fund its capital budget to pay for new infrastructure. Whether that is a good idea remains to be seen. Alberta did increase agriculture funding, with a $200 million endowment fund for agriculture and food innovation. That allotment helped increase the Alberta ag budget to slightly more than $1 billion, up from $938 million last year. In Manitoba, last year’s budget was anything but boring. The provincial government increased its sales tax to eight percent from seven, and debate still rages over that piece of unpopular decision making. Sensibly, the government did no such thing this year. What it did do is announce infrastructure funding of $5.5 billion over five years, which will go to such items as municipal roads, bridge repair and water services. The last budget to land was Saskatchewan’s, perhaps the most boring of all. Agricultural and municipal leaders said it held no surprises, but that was fine with them. Ag spending fell slightly, and it was status quo in terms of programs such as the Growing Forward 2 package. That’s about it. No tax increases, no drama, no excitement, no fury. It seems as if the governments are, in general, collectively holding their breath. It seems that citizens are too. Things seem a bit uncertain. Commodities remain low, with the possible exception of oil, and the American economy, while improving, is still not full steam ahead. With inflation well below the Bank of Canada’s target rate and an economy that is flat if not sputtering, no government wants to outrageously ramp up taxes or spending. Neither would it want to pull back too much and cause an economic retreat. Perhaps prudence was not just politically but also economically correct this budget season. Still, it just about puts you to sleep … but maybe that was the whole idea.

While some of Canada’s senators may not understand the difference between rights and privileges, most farmers do. Rights are worthy of legal protection and enforcement. Privileges rely on special treatment that can easily be withdrawn or erased. Privileges are not enforceable. Bill C-18 reduces farmers’ rights over seeds to easily erased privileges. That’s a huge loss for farmers. So while accusing others of “willful ignorance of the contents” of Bill C-18, minister Ritz is himself willfully deceiving Canadians about those contents. Nettie Wiebe, Delisle, Sask.

PAY MORE, GET LESS To the Editor: A railway friendly economist will say that you must pay more to get better service. Unfortunately for farmers, when it comes to grain transportation the opposite is true. Terry Whiteside, chairman of the U.S. Rail Shippers Alliance, provided documented evidence that shippers in the U.S. who pay the highest rates get the poorest service. These shippers are captive to shipping only by rail, just like prairie farmers. They have no options and the railways know it. The railways have to compete for freight that is not rail dependent, so they give it priority

over grain that is captive. Railways get guaranteed business from captive shippers no matter how badly they treat them. The former CWB is the only shipper that successfully sued the railways for discriminatory service against farmers. In that 1998 court case, the railways were blaming the weather for their dismal service. They called it “the winter from hell.” This winter, the railways are using their weather excuse once again. In 1998, the single desk CWB had the data and the clout to prove that once the mountains were cleared, the railways discriminated against grain shippers by servicing grain last.

WHAT A MESS To the Editor: For the last 40 plus years I have been farming. Every single year I signed contracts to sell and move my product (grain) into the world market system. It was moved in an orderly, timely manner. Every one of those years, regardless of my grain supply, I got the world grain price for my product. By the way, every one of those years I had to sign a contract with the Canadian Wheat Board. Every year at this time, I had moved into the market system between 50 and 70 percent of my forsale product. This year I signed contracts to move my product into the same world market system through a number of different marketing doorways. I, to date this crop year (early March), have only moved about 15 percent of my for-sale product. The in-hand contracts show delivery dates that would put me at the same level as all the past years. Those same contracts guarantee me a set price. World prices have been steady, however any additional grain I may have for sale is locally at a level of just over half of the world prices. Low grain movement levels, plus dropping local prices, are, quite matter of factly, disgusting. In the past two months, I have heard from many farmers in different marketing positions. One farms in the shadow of an elevator and sold every bushel from the field straight into the elevator without a contract. A second, who signed contracts, is still waiting for a bushel to move. Any one else who signed a contract is at some grain movement level between those two. And yet there are some who never signed a contract and now wonder why they cannot get world prices. Post Canadian Wheat Board agRitzaculture is quite a mess. Delwyn Jansen, Humboldt, Sask.

WILLFUL DECEIT To the Editor: Contrary to the claims made by agriculture minister Gerry Ritz (Letter to the Editor, March 6), his Agricultural Growth Act, Bill C-18, actually does not give farmers rights to save, clean and reuse their seed. Instead, these protocols are listed under farmers’ privilege.

To the railways’ delight, (agriculture) minster (Gerry) Ritz stole the farmers’ hammer by creating a neutered CWB. It no longer has the clout, the data or the mandate to defend farmers in 2014. With their hammer gone, farmers watched helplessly as the railways moved them to the back of the line. I was shocked to learn the railways are now telling Ottawa, “the revenue cap is the problem and farmers should pay more if they want better service”. To that I say, hogwash. With the revenue cap gone, captive shippers and farmers would be vulnerable to even more abuse. Bill Woods, Eston, Sask.

OPINION BIOSECURITY PROTOCOL To the Editor: I am writing about certain issues regarding biosecurity on farms and farmland. A lot of farmers are having trouble with soil borne diseases like clubroot, as well as many other weeds. There has to be a mandatory biosecurity protocol for Saskatchewan Crop Insurance field personnel adjusters that includes having clean boots, clothing and clean tires on quads and other vehicles before entering farmland. Also, biosecurity protocol must be used by all other companies such as surveyors, gas, oil, electrical, hail insurance and wildlife officers, as well as hunters, to help stop the spread of clubroot, other evasive weed seeds and diseases from farm to farm.…

Inspectors and visitors must first put on clean footwear, coveralls and gloves to stop the spread of major diseases, just like when the veterinarian comes to a farm,and stops to put on clean footwear, clothing and gloves to stop farm-tofarm diseases. All livestock facilities must have bio walk-on mats to make sure the people who come and go don’t spread diseases. Greg Hemming, Esterhazy, Sask.

OPEN RUNNING RIGHTS To the Editor: As every other grain farmer in my area, I am waiting on rail cars, only two months behind. This is not a crisis, it is a national

disaster, with a cost to the western Canadian grain sector of $2 to $4 billion and loss of confidence by overseas grain customers in our ability to meet contracts. This has set us back 10 years and highlighted the dire situation we have in our rail system. As the railways move towards greater efficiency to satisfy shareholders such as Bill Gates (who has 12 percent of Canadian National Railway shares), inadequate capacity has been left in the system for the unknown; that is, a huge grain crop. The government announced a fiveyear study into the problem. I think we need a little faster response than that. I would like to see open running rights on our rail system. One company would own and operate the rail tracks and then other companies can buy time to run on the tracks, just like

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 27, 2014

an airport. One company owns the airport and airlines pay to land and operate there, with more than one carrier being able to use that facility. This would lead to competition in the rail transport sector, or at worst would allow other companies to either move their own commodities or contract with other carriers. Since the Conservative party removed the Canadian Wheat Board in the name of choice and free enterprise, now they should bring about open running rights in the name of choice and free enterprise. I hope the voices that were so loud in wanting the CWB dismantled are now focusing on the railroad system. The Conservative party should support this move as they are the party of free enterprise. CN and Canadian Pacific are lobbying the American government for

open running rights on their rail system, but don’t want it here. The prairie economy is so dependent on the railroads. It’s time to invest in it to meet future demands. I hope someone at the canola council has told the railways to be ready for 25 million tones of canola in 2025. We’ll probably be there sooner rather than later as farmers react quickly to opportunities. Walter Hammond, Roblin, Man.

he biblical story told in the Book of Acts is so simple. “There was at Joppa a disciple named Tabitha. She was full of good works and acts of charity. In those days she died.…” Look closer. Tabitha (also known by her Greek name Dorcas) was a highly respected woman of means. She was a faithful follower of Jesus (few other women of the time were called “disciple”), and she was a seamstress. She invited widows from the community to come together as a sewing circle. Can’t you imagine the chatter, the stories told, the tears shed? By themselves, each woman knew only loneliness, and felt cast aside from life around them. Now they not only shared companionship, but they also learned how to sew. The items they made had value. They could be sold for income or given to favourite family members. Also, the women had things they could add to the conversation when they met others. Obviously Tabitha shared “Jesus stories” with them, assuring them that God loved them and that they were not alone. She showed them, through example, what it meant to be part of a caring community. Little wonder the old feelings of abandonment and fear surfaced in the widows’ hearts when their friend and mentor died. But Tabitha had taught them there were ways to reach out to each other and to the community of faithful. It took courage to be so presumptuous, but they heard that Jesus’s beloved Peter was in the vicinity. They asked him to come and help them through this time of crisis. What a wonderful example of the church in action. A faith-filled person sees a need, assesses and directs her own resources to fulfilling the need and shares the gospel story with the community assembled. Tabitha and her ladies received God’s blessing. So can we. Joyce Sasse writes for the Canadian Rural Church Network at www.canadian ruralchurch.net.

Land sale will benefit Alta. university

Railway labour negotiations continue

University of Lethbridge | Valerie Wilson donates 140 acres of ranch land as tribute to family BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Land belonging to a well-known Alberta ranching family has been donated to the University of Lethbridge for future sale. Valerie Wilson, widow of cattle rancher Murray Wilson, has donated 140 acres of land near Cochrane, Alta., to the university. Its value won’t be known until the property is sold, but it is located near the hamlet of Westbrook in a scenic part of the province considered desirable by many.

Wilson said many rural students choose the U of L, including her own nephew, so it was a prime choice for the land donation. She will continue to lease and graze cattle on the property until a decision is made to sell. “The gift to the U of L is a reflection of my husband, brother-in-law and father-in-law and their lives and work in agriculture,“ Wilson said in a news release. Her father-in-law, George Wilson, settled two quarters near Cochrane when he arrived from North Dakota in 1905, and brothers Murray and

Carl Wilson became well known in cattle ranching circles. They were partial to Simmental cattle in their commercial breeding operation and also owned a machinery dealership in High River, Alta. Trevor Kenney, information manager at the U of L, said proceeds from the land may go toward agriculture programs, but that decision has yet to be made. He said land donations are becoming more common for the institution. “I think it’s at a point now where the university is starting to mature and being recognized a little bit more.

Our alumni and relations are getting a little bit older so that now these gifts are starting to come in,” he said. “We’re just starting to mature as an institution … and I think it’s been a little bit more of a focus too, as we’ve gone out and sought these sorts of things. It’s just a natural evolution.” Among the most notable of gifts is a bequest from the late Jim Coutts, political adviser to former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, who donated his homestead near Nanton, Alta., and an extensive art collection for use in perpetuity by the university.

About 3,000 workers at Canadian National Railway have agreed to take one more kick at the can in hopes of negotiating a new labour agreement. Conductors, train persons and yard workers represented by Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRCCTY) were scheduled to resume talks with CN this week. The workers, whose demands include longer rest times between shifts, have been without a contract since last summer. Union and company officials were scheduled to meet in Montreal March 26 to discuss the terms of arbitration that would be followed in the event that the two sides are unable to reach a negotiated settlement. If terms of arbitration can be settled, then the two sides would return to the bargaining table to see if a new labour agreement can be reached. “The company is offering final offer selection,” said Teamsters spokesperson Roland Hackl in a March 24 interview. “We’re looking for a form of arbitration that allows a little bit more give and take than final offer selection.” Unionized workers nar rowly rejected an agreement last week that was negotiated in February between union and company officials. Following the failed ratification vote, CN proposed that the dispute be sent to final offer arbitration. Hackl said the union is still hopeful that outstanding issues can be resolved at the bargaining table. A negotiated agreement would still be subject to ratification by workers, which could take another month or two. “We want this wrapped up as soon as possible, but there’s always a challenge to make sure that information gets out to everybody so that they’ve got an informed vote,” Hackl said. “The last ratification was a 45-day period, and that was cutting it pretty fine. We might be able to cut a little time off that … but I would think a month to 45 days (would be required).” CN said it was pleased that the union had agreed to resume the bargaining process. “I am very pleased that the Teamsters have accepted our offer to negotiate a settlement and, failing such, to submit our differences to binding arbitration,” said CN president Claude Mongeau in a March 22 news release. “With a process assuring contractual certainty, CN and the Teamsters can continue working on the company’s recovery from an extraordinarily cold winter that hampered operations, and help our valued customers across Canada get their goods to market.” The threat of a labour disruption at CN comes at time when both of Canada’s major railways are facing increased scrutiny from Ottawa. Ottawa was expected to introduce new legislation this week aimed at ensuring better service for rail shippers. Details of that legislation were not available at press time, but sources in Ottawa said new legislation was not likely to be tabled before March 26.

FORAGE GENETICS INTERNATIONAL | ALFALFA SEED

GM alfalfa remains on hold Roundup Ready | GM alfalfa seed will not be released this spring BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Roundup Ready alfalfa will not be available to Canadian growers this spring. Forage Genetics International, which has exclusive rights to commercialize Roundup Ready alfalfa in Canada, confirmed its plan March 24. “For spring of 2014, Forage Genetics will not be commercializing Roundup Ready alfalfa in Canada anywhere,” said FGI global traits lead Mike Peterson. “That’s the only decision we’ve made so far. We’re just going day to day on the decision making process, but we have made a decision about spring.” Plans for commercial release of the seed, which contains genetic modifications that allow the perennial forage to resist glyphosate damage, have been controversial in Canada. Proponents of Roundup Ready alfalfa see it as an answer to weed control in seed crops and in forage grown for export markets. Opponents worry that the GM trait will spread to all alfalfa, eliminating the existence of non-GM varieties and closing the door for alfalfa products in countries that don’t accept GM. FGI has always said it would delay introduction of the seed in Western Canada, where 80 percent of the country’s alfalfa is grown. The company initially planned release first in Eastern Canada, where alfalfa is grown primarily for animal forage and is key for the dairy industry. The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, which has lobbied against GM alfalfa’s introduction, welcomed the news. “It’s the right decision to keep GM alfalfa off the market this spring and every spring in the future,” said CBAN co-ordinator Lucy Sharratt. “It’s great if Forage Genetics is actually listening to farmers on this issue. The government certainly didn’t.” CBAN has consistently lobbied the federal government to allow farmer input and provide more transparency in its GM approval process. Karl Slomp, president of the Alberta branch of the Alfalfa Seed Commission (ASC), said his group has not established an official position on GM alfalfa, but he expected it to be a topic at the April 1 annual meeting. Quebec’s general farm group, Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA), passed a motion in late February to prohibit the marketing of GM alfalfa in that province because of the potential for cross pollination. Farm groups in Ontario and Manitoba have also expressed concerns about containment, particularly in areas where wild alfalfa is common. “We’ve heard a lot of opposition from Ontario and Quebec farmers to release of GM alfalfa, so it in fact looks like farmers across Canada are asking the company not to put this product on the market, and I hope that this is actually a response to that voice,” said Sharratt. The Canadian Seed Trade Association spearheaded development of best management practices to prevent the spread of GM alfalfa to nonGM varieties. Released last year, the practices include testing, controlling

wild plants and working with other growers to maintain adequate crop distances. GM alfalfa is grown in the United States, where it has also been controversial. The Center for Food Safety filed a lawsuit earlier this month demandi n g f e d e ra l d o c u m e n t s t ha t i t believed would reveal that undue pressure was applied to the U.S. Department of Agriculture when it approved GM alfalfa. Weldon Hobbs, a director with ASC, said he recently attended meetings in

the U.S. and learned that some U.S. alfalfa growers are being offered a premium to grow non-GM alfalfa seed. He said he thinks controversy over RR alfalfa has reduced U.S. alfalfa seed production. “Acreage production for alfalfa seed in the U.S. is almost at an all time low,” he said, despite attractive prices for the crop. He said he has also heard rumours of seed shortages. Peterson said high winterkill last year reduced the amount of alfalfa seed produced, but denied a shortage.

PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE | LEADERSHIP

Party infighting forces Alberta premier to resign Surprise announcement | Deputy premier Dave Hancock takes over as interim leader BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Six hours after giving a rousing speech to rural councillors, Alberta premier Alison Redford announced her resignation. The announcement was a surprise to Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties president Bob Barss, but he said looking back at two days of meetings with the premier, she looked stressed. “It was definitely a shock. Especially after meeting with her for the last two or three days, anybody could tell she had a lot on her mind,” said Barss. “I was probably not surprised it happened, but the timing was a surprise. She gave a good speech at our convention.” Redford gave no hint during the speech of the discontent within the party and her caucus that eventually wore her down and forced her to resign only two years after becoming premier.

“Quite simply, I am not prepared to allow party and caucus infighting to get in the way of building a better future for our province and for all Albertans,” she said March 19. “And that is why I am announcing today, with a profound optimism for Alberta’s future, I am resigning as premier of Alberta, effective this Sunday evening.” Deputy premier Dave Hancock will become premier until the Progressive Conservative party elects a new leader within four to six months. “It’s been a strange day or two,” Hancock said during a news conference after the PC caucus elected him interim premier. Hancock said he encouraged Redford to stay on as leader, but in the end it was her decision to make. “She had to make the decision she thought was right for her and for Albertans,” said Hancock. “I have worked very hard, as have

members of the caucus, to encourage her to continue the good work she was doing, but ultimately it becomes an individual’s choice and determination they feel they can effectively go forward.” Hancock, who is minister of advanced education, said it’s up to the government to carry on as usual, including passing the budget tabled March 6. “I care very deeply about our prov-

ince and our future,” he said. “I think Albertans want to know their government is in good hands, and we will continue to do the work of government.” Barss doesn’t anticipate any problems dealing with government, provided the budget is passed and there is no cabinet shuffle. “The budget is our concern,” he said. “If they get it passed, then we know

our funding is in place for the next year or until the new leader.” He said everything went into a holding pattern when former premier Ed Stelmach announced his resignation but stayed on in the job. No one wanted to make any decisions. Redford will continue to sit as a PC MLA for Calgary-Elbow. She was first elected in 2008 and became justice minister.

SASKATCHEWAN BUDGET | AGRICULTURE

Sask. producer group pleased with ag funding Business Risk Management funding dips | Money allotted for new Western Livestock Price Insurance Program BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Agricultural leaders say Saskatchewan’s March 19 budget held no surprises, which was just fine. The fiscal plan for 2014-15 allocated $371.6 million to agricultural spending, including $242.2 million for business risk management (BRM) programs. Nearly $407 million had been budgeted for the current year, and actual spending is forecast to be $401 million. Spending on BRM programs such as crop insurance and AgriStability will drop for the second year in a row. The government budgeted $282.5 million last year. The estimates for BRM costs come from the federal government, and Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said lower commodity prices are also playing a role. The budget was status quo in terms of programs. The Growing Forward 2

package of programs will cost $79 million this year, including nearly $27 million for research and $24 million for water infrastructure. Pest, disease and invasive weed control is rising by $400,000 to $3.4 million in projected spending. The pilot Western Livestock Price Insurance Program has added $1.1 million to the administration cost at Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. Producers will pay the entire premium tab for this program. “I have had a lot of people inquiring about it,” said Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association president Harold Martens. “It’ll be (available)

around the first week in April.” Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association chair Paula Larson said she was glad to hear the program mentioned in the budget. “We’ve been asking for it, and to see it acknowledged in our budget is good news,” she said. Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall said the funding that the sector needs appears to be in place. “For ag, it’s not a great news budget but it’s not a bad news budget,” he said. “Times are relatively good, considering the rail backlog. We’re not in

a crisis like we were back in the ’80s and ’90s.” Agriculture critic Cathy Sproule said the government should take a stronger stand on rectifying the transportation problems, which she described as at “catastrophic levels.” She said she had hoped to see money allocated to the organization that represents most of the former federal pastures that are transitioning to user control. However, there was none. She also noted that the ministry will cut 12.5 full-time equivalent positions. Deputy agriculture minister Alanna

$3.4 million HAS BEEN ALLOCATED FOR PEST, DISEASE AND INVASIVE WEED CONTROL

Koch said this is the final year of the employee reduction program implemented four years ago. Stewart said 10 of the eliminated positions were related to privatizing brand inspections and 2.5 were cut when two irrigation districts were turned over to producer control. Sproule said she understands how BRM funding is estimated, but she noted that unexpected problems can arise. Within that envelope, AgriInvest spending is predicted to rise by about $2 million, reflecting the federal government’s optimism that farmers will have more to set aside. The province’s land management budget is predicted to drop despite the additional work required because of the federal pasture disposition. Koch said that is because the incentive rate on the sale of crown land has dropped from four percent to two percent, and the government expects to sell less land.

SASKATCHEWAN BUDGET | RURAL MUNICIPALITIES

RMs welcome highway improvement, new school funding BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Billed as balanced and steady, last week’s Saskatchewan budget was also characterized by some as boring. There was no hike in the education portion of property tax, despite a trial balloon launched by premier Brad Wall earlier this year. In fact, there were no tax increases at all. Spending for 2014-15 is projected at $14 billion, or .2 percent lower than last year. Revenues are predicted to come in at $14.07 billion, down .7 percent. It leaves the province with a thin surplus of $71 million. Krawetz said the government considered all revenue options, but tax increases are always a last resort. Increasing mill rates across all property classes, including agriculture, by one mill would have earned the government an extra $110 million. “That’s substantial,” he said. “We decided that it was more appropriate to keep the mill rate at the current level.” Saskatchewan Association of Rural

Municipalities president David Marit said he was happy with the decision. “We had had some discussions with ministers on that,” he said. “Nothing ever came of it.” He said Wall raised the issue with reporters at the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association convention but not at SARM earlier this month. “That gave us and our board a pretty good comfort feeling,” Marit said. The budget maintained $25.5 million in funding from the highways ministry for the Municipal Roads for the Economy program and $1 million from agriculture for irrigation bridges on municipal roads. Rural municipalities will receive revenue sharing of $72.6 million this year, down $2.1 million from last year. Urban revenue sharing will be $165.2 million, down $4.8 million. The figures are lower this year because municipalities receive one full point of provincial sales tax collected, and less was collected last year. Municipalities will also benefit from infrastructure programs. The highways budget has set aside

$405.2 million for capital projects, plus $250.6 million for repairs and upgrades. New capital projects include twinning Highway 16 from Saskatoon to Clavet and pre-construction work on the East Regina bypass and the future passing lanes on Highway 7 between Delisle and Rosetown. Two pilot projects will upgrade thin membrane surface highways to primary weight super grids. The roads will be gravel but built with a properly engineered base to withstand traffic. Highways minister Don McMorris told the SARM convention that he was surprised and pleased by the number of municipalities interested in going this route. “It isn’t the ideal situation,” he said, but 5,000 kilometres of thin mem-

brane surface highway at $1 million or more per km to fix would require $5 billion. Pre-construction work also continues on future twinning of Highway 39 from Estevan to Bienfait, Highway 6 and 39 from Regina to Estevan, and Highway 7 from Saskatoon to Delisle. Meanwhile, the ethanol fuel grant program continues to be phased out. The original grant of 15 cents per litre for ethanol used and produced in the province was reduced to 10 cents last budget and will drop to five cents this year, to save $8 million. Regulations are being developed to support small Saskatchewan ethanol producers that produce less than 25 million litres per year. Blenders will be required to buy 30 percent of their ethanol from small producers. The health budget takes up the biggest chunk of Saskatchewan expenditures. The ministry received a three percent spending increase to nearly $5 billion. Rural initiatives include the addition of three more collaborative emergency care centres.

ed and Prince Albert’s Victoria Hospital has been identified as the next to be renewed. The incentive program to recruit rural family physicians was boosted by $2.6 million to total $5.9 million. The program also supports a pool of 20 rural doctors. Overall funding for education rose 3.1 percent for a total operating budget of $1.82 billion. New schools are planned for Gravelbourg and Langenburg. This was the first summary budget for Saskatchewan, which means a budget with one set of books that includes spending for both executive council and the crown corporations. The provincial auditor had recommended the province go this route. Krawetz said the budget includes all government entities. “It includes ministries, treasury board organizations, such as school boards, regional health authorities and SIAST,” he said. “It also includes commercial crowns, like SaskPower and SaskTel, and insurance organizations, like the Workers’ Compensation Board and the Auto Fund.”

FARM SAFETY | ALBERTA PROGRAM

Alberta wants farm safety off ‘to do later’ list Farm Safe Plan | Pilot program includes equipment inspections and emergency response plans BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Farm accidents are often the common denominator that draws rural people together because everybody knows someone who has been hurt or killed. Nine Alberta farms were invited last year to test the provincial Farm Safe Plan, which can be adapted to small and large operations. It includes hazard assessments, inspections, documentation of activities and emergency response plans. The pilot included a husband-wife partnership, a major grain farm and a large feedlot with 100 employees. The concept can be as detailed as the farmers want to make it, said Laurel Aitken, Alberta Agriculture’s farm safety co-ordinator. “This is a resource for people who feel they have the need to organize and document and have training,” she said in Olds during national agricultural safety week earlier this month. For some, farm safety is a verbal understanding, while other operations with a large staff may want something more formal. A best practices certificate is issued after the program is completed, which can be used to obtain reduced workers’ compensation premiums. The program will be revised before it is fully launched next year. Humphrey and Terry Banack of Round Hill, Alta., were among the farmers testing the plan. They farm 4,500 acres with one employee and family members and

host school tours, so they want a safe environment. “Safety on our farm is absolutely important to us because our farm, our houses are in the middle of our industrial landscape,” said Humphrey, who is also first vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, a long-time proponent of better safety standards for farms. Terry took over as farm safety coordinator but admitted implementation will take time. She actively works on the farm, running the tractor and combine as well as other equipment. It is a busy life, and taking extra care is sometimes ignored. “We feel a farm safety plan is very important, but until something happens to make it a necessity, it goes on the ‘something we will do later’ list,” she said. The program included a course and workbook to develop industrial safety standards, which can be customized for individual farms. She has devised a five point plan for everyone on the farm to follow: • Document maintenance and safety records of equipment. • Develop standard operating procedures for every machine. • Expect everyone to follow a daily checklist, which means walking around and checking machines before they operate them. Similar checklists will be set up for anyone entering chemical storage sheds. • Hold tailgate meetings at the end of every day. • Implement emergency procedures in case of an accident.

FARM INJURY/FATALITY STATISTICS IN CANADA • Agriculture ranks as Canada’s third most hazardous industry. • There were 1,769 agricultural fatalities from 1990-2005. • Agricultural machines were involved in 70.9 percent of fatalities. • Of those fatally injured as a result of agricultural work, 91.6 percent were male. • For children aged 14 and under,

the most predominant causes of farm-related fatalities for children younger than 14 were: • • • • •

machine runovers, 41.9 percent drownings, 15.2 percent machine rollovers, 11.1 percent animal related, 6.5 percent crushed under an object, 5.1 percent

Accident victim gives words of wisdom BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Ray Murphy was the kind of farmer who was always busy and always wanted things done right. But on one fateful day in 2009, everything at his northeastern Alberta farm went wrong. It was the day before he was scheduled for open heart surgery in Edmonton, and he was loading cattle for sale when he noticed some were missing ear tags, including a mature bull. He decided to tag them himself after the hired man left to help a neighbour. “I had the proper facilities for handling livestock and I thought we were relatively safe,” he said during a farm safety meeting in Olds this month. Looking back, he realizes he was probably in a hurry and lost patience when the bull’s head proved too large for the chute. Murphy stood on a two-foot-high catwalk outside the runway and tried to reach into the chute and tag the bull. Its head was down and Murphy was struggling to grab the ear. Suddenly, it reared its head and knocked the 59-year-old backward. He could breathe, talk and think when he came to but had no other movement. The hired man found him 30 minutes later and summoned help. He travelled by ambulance to Bonnyville, Alta., and was eventually sent to Edmonton. The accident left him without the

He ended up with two six inch rods in his back and spent three months in hospital recovering. Another three months were spent in a rehabilitation hospital, and he agreed to participate in three spinal cord injury research projects over the next year for the University of Alberta. “It helped me somewhat physically, but also it was good for the mind to adjust to a life change,” he said. Neighbours raised $20,000, and he was able to buy a four wheel drive wheelchair so that he can get around the farm. “It wasn’t so much a need, but it

was their way of expressing concern,” he said. This year, he and his wife, Leona, are retiring from the 3,500 acre farm where they also raised 300 head of registered Charolais and Angus. “It is not what he wanted to do before the accident,” Leona said. “He would have wanted to stay on the farm until he was 100, but reality is going to take over.” He still looks back at what he could have done differently. “Try to avoid working alone,” he said, adding that people should know where everyone is when they are working. If he had help that day, they may have decided to halter the bull or pay the auction market $5 to properly restrain the bull in an hydraulic squeeze. He also advised taking a first aid course and having breakfast conversations about safety. It’s also important to think about loss of income because every farm carries debt. Most financial institutions require life insurance, but few offer disability insurance. The Murphys carried some coverage, but it was not enough. He said he had planned to obtain more after buying a quarter section of land but didn’t get the required medical examination done in time before his accident. “Anytime you have an accident, there is financial stress on your farm,” he said. “Think about preparing for that.” And finally: “Slow down and think about what the results of an accident might be.”

have built a new dairy barn when they returned to the farm eight years ago. It would have been easier than milking in the old parlour, which was so small that four workers were needed to milk and move the cattle. However, they delayed construction until they could afford it and knew better what direction they wanted the dairy to go. “We make choices. We take one step at a time,” Richard said from the kitchen of their old farmhouse. Now they’re waiting for the right time to build a new house. “If we grow little by little, it takes longer, but it feels safer,” said Nicole. It’s that kind of risk management, sound decision-making and willingness to make sacrifices that earned the northeastern Alberta couple this year’s provincial Outstanding Young Farmers award. The Brousseaus say they do nothing by chance. When they returned to the family dairy farm where Nicole was raised, they first prepared a business plan, studied the finances and presented it to Nicole’s parents, Bert and Yvonne Poulin, who are also their business partners in the dairy and grain farm. “We’re ver y, ver y big number crunchers,” said Nicole. Their first step before moving home from Vermilion, Alta., where the two worked in Lakeland College’s dairy division, was to buy quota and cows from Nicole’s parents. Then they started driving home on weekends to help milk and manage the dairy operation. The couple made the move to St. Paul in 2006 and began working full time on the dairy farm a year later. Sixty-three farms shipped milk from St. Paul County at its peak in 1981. The community even had its own cheese plant. Two dairies are left in the county: the Brousseaus and another across the road. At one time, five dairies were located on the same county road. Nicole’s grandparents moved to St. Paul from Quebec in the 1950s,and her parents took over the farm in 1976. The two couples meet for a family meeting every Monday morning to discuss and plan the week’s schedule of harvest, milking, silage, machinery purchases and family events. They are not always easy meetings, but keeping the communication open between the families is important, especially when one set of partners is getting closer to retirement and the other partners are just starting their agricultural career. “It allows for discussion on any issue,” said Nicole. The Brousseaus milked 25 cows when they moved home. Their Holstein and Jersey herd has now reached 50, and the new barn is de-

COLDS | FREQUENCY

Some more immune to common cold HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I have had two colds one after the other this past winter. I thought that when you had a cold it would give you some immunity at least for a few months. What is the normal number of colds people have in a year?

The Brousseau family milks Jersey cows, above, and Holsteins. signed for 110 cows. “When we first moved here, the idea was to use what we had,” said Richard. However, it wasn’t long before they realized they needed to expand. “Ultimately, the dairy has to grow, be viable and sustainable,” Nicole said. The Brousseaus have implemented a strict crop rotation system since returning to the farm, which has improved soil health and increased yields and crop quality as well as milk production. They have also replaced canola meal in the dairy ration with peas grown on the farm as another way to control the dairy ration. The farm is slowly stockpiling enough feed for a year and a half to cushion it against drought or high grain prices. The dairy and grain farms run as separate businesses so the Brousseaus know what each entity costs. “We’re always assessing the risk,” said Nicole. Leaving the farm after high school was a valuable experience for the couple, who always knew they wanted to be involved in agriculture but weren’t sure where or how. They learned marketing and production skills at Lakeland but also made important connections with students, staff and others in the agricultural industry. It’s those new connections within the Outstanding Young Farmers’ Program that are exciting for the couple. “We had such free flowing conver-

sations and had the same goals. It was so cool,” said Nicole. “We’re so pumped about meeting other farmers from across Canada.” The couple’s enthusiasm about agriculture is reflected in the school tours they host to help children and their parents learn more about agriculture. “We’ve done so many kindergarten and school tours. We like to teach people where their milk and food comes from and that it is done in a humane manner,” said Richard. “We want to be as transparent as possible.” Schoolchildren are encouraged to touch and smell the cattle feed. Instead of bombarding students with milk yield numbers, Nicole sets out milk cartons to visually show how much milk each cow produces each day. Even the parents on the tour appear to soak in the information. The couple is proud of their new barn, which was designed for cow and worker health. There is no concrete under the open concept barn, just hard packed clay and straw to help maximize cow comfort. Large open windows allow for good ventilation and plenty of light. The Brousseaus don’t know if their three children, Ethan, 10, Cassie, 8 and Emery, 6, will take over the farm, but they want their children to have a positive experience on the farm. “If we are enthusiastic and we are enjoying it, it’s natural for them to follow suit,” said Richard.

The reason the cold is called the common cold is that it is the most frequent of all the infectious diseases. Typically an adult will have up to five colds per year, while children, who have less immunity because they haven’t been exposed to as many colds in their short lives, will get as many as nine. Generally, the older you get, the fewer colds you will have, as each time you have one, you will get some immunity to that particular virus. The trouble is there are so many different varieties that you cannot become immune to all of them. Colds appear to be more common in winter because people tend to spend more time in crowded conditions indoors. Getting cold and wet does not give people colds unless

People are most infectious during the first few days of a cold. | FILE PHOTO they have already been exposed to the virus. People can carry the virus in their noses, but often nothing develops. Even when people dress warm to go outside in the winter, their noses are exposed to the weather. Cold noses are good places for the viruses to incubate and multiply, because constriction of the blood vessels in the lining of the nose inhibits the natural immune response. Stress and lack of sleep can also lower immunity. The common cold is not as contagious as most people believe. You can even kiss someone with a cold and not get it. The iceberg concept of viral infections describes the idea that most infections do not cause symptoms. At the bottom of the iceberg, there are the vast majority of exposures to cold viruses where the virus does not cause any symptoms.

Slightly higher up the iceberg, a lesser number of people will have only minor symptoms, such as a short-lived throat irritation and occasional sneezing. They are known as subclinical infections. At the top of the iceberg, there is a small number who will suffer severe cold symptoms. The person is most infectious during the first few days of the cold when they are sneezing and have a runny nose. Cold viruses are spread by being sneezed or coughed on, or by direct contact after the person passes on secretions from their nose via their hands to your nose or eyes. Young children spread germs because they touch everything and often do not sneeze or cough into their elbows or use tissues to blow their noses.

MRBs Maximize Your Yield Potential. ®

As farmers strive to grow higher yielding crops, higher nitrogen and sulphur rates are required. The challenge at higher application rates is ensuring adequate seed to fertilizer separation. This becomes especially crucial during variable rate application where certain zones can require extremely high rates of fertilizer. With MRBs you stay out of the danger zone without compromising yield potential.

PURSUING PERFECTION

NEVILLE, Sask. — Bill Br yan dreamed of owning a pool surrounded by a bunch of chicks. As an adult, the chicken farmer found his Shangri-la in a 25 acre parcel of heavily treed land in southwestern Saskatchewan. Today, his free-range chickens peck at bugs and grasses in a fenced area with a filled-in pool when the weather allows them to venture outdoors. “Everyone knows me as the chicken man,” said Bryan, who grew up in Killarney, Man., and worked in the oil industry before buying his orchard acreage for $69,000 in 2004. Sarah Galvin, a food writer, home economist and farmers market seller, said Bryan takes pride in raising poultry. “Often his phone voice mail says, ‘I am out with my chicks,’ ” she said. In summer, he is most often found in denim coveralls, looking like a cross between a farmer and cartoon character Dennis the Menace, said Galvin. Bryan markets eggs and meat birds by word of mouth, with his biggest competition coming from Hutterites, who sell their birds at $2 per pound less than his $4 price. The chickens sell easily, but he is just getting started marketing eggs. Layers need to be raised in cages to get a Grade A rating and sell at farmers markets, so Bryan instead markets them as naturally raised using some organic feed. “It irks him that he has hoops to jump through to sell his food,” said Galvin. Bryan and his birds sit on a piece of prairie history. It was here that Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame inductee Adolf Heyer helped the University of Saskatchewan test apple varieties. The prairie hardy Heyer 12 is named for the Scandinavian transplant who tested more than 2,000 varieties here. “What he did for the Prairies was phenomenal,” Bryan said. “He lived on apples and toast and slept with a .22 by his side. I try to keep up with him, but I’m having a hard time,” he said of Heyer’s growing legacy. “I figure I have to keep at my task or I’ll never get it done.” Bryan wants the apple orchard to return to its heyday and has planted 100 cherry, raspberry, sour cherry, saskatoon, pear and currant plants. He has also gathered information and photographs about Heyer, in-

Like Heyer, Bryan is single and eking out an existence by raising 999 meat birds, 299 layers and 28 Narragansett turkeys. A variety of microclimates sheltered by mature trees allows for optimal growing conditions for the seven kinds of garlic he grows in addition to fruit and vegetables. Twelve acres of fences are a must. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deer wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow anything to grow,â&#x20AC;? he said. Bryan grows barley inside his home in winter to distribute to the birds and also feeds waste from the orchard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spoil my chickens and treat them

just like house pets,â&#x20AC;? said Bryan, who calls to many of them by name. He prefers heritage varieties and a simpler approach to food production and feels uneasy about the long-term effects of genetic modification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m dead against those GMOs. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be another BSE,â&#x20AC;? he said. Bryan invests his income back into the farm and plants vetch and clover to enrich the soil and create an ecosystem for the birds, bees and plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of building a portfolio, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m building the soil,â&#x20AC;? he said. Galvin called him an advocate for a more natural system of food production, citing his desire to create a dining experience at a local theatre that fea-

tures local, ethically raised products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Passionate is a word that comes to mind. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think his brain ever stops,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His circle is the people who care about what they put into their bodies, people who care where their food comes from.â&#x20AC;? She recalled his comments after buying a turkey from him: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now you get to taste a turkey that lived its entire life under an apple tree.â&#x20AC;? Galvin said he puts a lot of care into raising his birds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was out to the farm last, he was carrying a chicken around with him on the golf cart like a pet. It was being picked on so he favours it to give it a better chance,â&#x20AC;? she said.

MID-LIFE | WOMEN

Focus on mental, physical well-being SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

I am an unhappy 52-year-old housewife. Our kids have grown up, left home and started their own wonderful families. I am free, for the first time in my life and I should be relishing it. Instead I am totally dissatisfied, and often crabby to my husband. I doubt that menopause is my problem. My physician is helping me work through those issues. But if what I am experiencing is not menopause, what is it?

Studies tell us that many women struggle with dissatisfaction during mid-life. That is what is likely

behind the high number of divorces, increased suicide rates and issues with alcohol and other substance abuse for women in mid-life. The problem appears to be that many women, after having spent years raising children or tending to the needs of their aging parents, do not do a good job of looking after themselves. Here are some simple questions for you. Do you get enough sleep at night? Research indicates that midlife women need between seven and eight hours of sleep. Some are chronically tired, and tired people seldom lead productive and rewarding lives. Do you have an exercise program? Most know the value of fresh air and exercise, yet the numbers who engage in invigorating walks, bike rides or a few rounds walking the golf course are few. The sad truth is that we live in a culture glorifying exercise for younger women but not promoting similar activities for those who are in mid-life.

Are you obsessed with your body image? Research indicates women isolate themselves in their homes for fear of humiliation. There is more beauty to you than what might be found in those lingerie commercials glorifying adolescent figures. Are you challenging your intellectual abilities? Some mid-life women take classes at community colleges, others get involved in charity organizations and still others plunge into vocational aspirations. You need something outside the home to keep you thinking. Mid-life women are always in danger of falling into an existential crisis. Without their families to keep them involved, they are uncertain what value they have. If they and you engage in more selfcare, you will find your own purpose and meaning in daily living.

ating whole grains has proven health benefits. Changing only one meal a day to include whole grains is significant for those with high blood pressure or weight maintenance issues or others at risk for Type 2 diabetes. Millet cooks like rice and can be

used in pilafs or other rice dishes. It has a more complete amino acid profile than most grains, providing a higher quality protein. Millet can be ground into flour for baking. Studies have shown that amaranth is also a good source of protein and contains the essential amino acid lysine that is absent in other grains. Buckwheat is second only to oats in proteins, contains a long list of minerals and is high in soluble fibre. Millet, amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat are naturally gluten-free.

Einkorn is one of the earliest cultivated wheats. A good loaf of einkorn bread has eluded me until now. I didn’t realize that einkorn flours are not all the same. Many recipes were using white einkorn flour, which removes the bran and germ of the kernel and makes it easier for bread making. Lemon juice and honey are natural dough enhancers.

Place bread dough on a piece of parchment paper and place all in the preheated pot. Bake with the lid on for 30 minutes. Remove lid and continue to bake for 10 more minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from pan and cool on a rack for one hour before slicing.

FIELD KNIFE | ESEE OPTIONS

ESEE-3 ideal all-purpose knife for wilderness tasks OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

he ESEE-3 knife is made from coated 1095 carbon steel with a 3.9 inch blade and 8.3 inch overall length. It weighs 5.2 ounces. The tool, which is designed by Randal’s Adventure & Training and manufactured by Rowen Manufacturing in the United States, came with a moulded Kydex sheath and canvas micarta handle scales. The ESEE-3 is designed to be a general use field knife. It is primarily intended for military or wilderness survival applications. The use of 1095 carbon steel is an OK choice for an outdoor knife because it is tough. However, the primary limitation of this kind of steel is its vulnerability to corrosion. ESEE uses a strong coating on its blades, leaving only the cutting edges exposed, which minimizes the chances of corrosion developing. The knives should develop little corrosion if properly maintained. The full-tang handle of the ESEE-3 provides adequate strength. Removable canvas micarta handle slabs are bolted firmly onto the tang and shaped for excellent comfort. The handle design feels natural in the hand and easy to transition through different grips. The canvas material ensures a good grip even when wet. The exposed steel pommel has a lanyard hole and may be used for light hammering. Our test knife had a plain edge, although partially serrated models are available. The drop point blade is ground flat from spine to edge, sacrificing some tool strength for a good slicing edge. Well-designed index finger choil and thumb jimping allow for a sure grip when choked up on the blade for detail work. The ESEE-3 comes with slightly different sheaths based on the model selected. Our test knife had a tan Kydex sheath that secured the blade well and came with few mounting options, such as a belt/boot clip plate or Molle locks. The sheath also came with a drainage hole. It is an effective and simple

combination of design and materials. The knife tested well in cutting tasks appropriate for its size. The edge was sharp out of the box but took an even better edge with some reworking by hand. The handle felt natural and sure and the overall design of the knife was well thought out and impressive in use. The edge withstood contact with bone and wood OK, although there was some rolling. The 1095 carbon steel retained its sharpness reasonably well and was easy to touch back up. The ESEE-3 is a remarkable tool for its intended use and size. We were particularly impressed with how its

handle felt and overall usable design. The knife could be improved if it offered higher quality carbon steel options, with less susceptibility to corrosion and better edge retention. But for a small outdoor tool, the ESEE-3 is tough to beat. It is an excellent value. This knife would make an outstanding choice for anyone who is about to engage the outdoors in almost any climate, so long as they are mindful in moist environments.

AG NOTES PULSE GROWERS TAX CREDIT

Producers who pay a checkoff to Saskatchewan Pulse Growers can earn a federal investment tax credit through the Scientific Research and Experimental Development program.

The credit is based on the amount of levy money spent on research and development. This year, 25 percent of the pulse levy qualifies for the credit, which is notably lower than in 2012. Growers can calculate their total levy contribution by referring to their pulse sales receipts. The remaining check-off amount is eligible to earn a credit up to a maximum of 20 percent for individuals and up to 35 percent for Canadian private corporations. The 25 percent consists of research performed in Saskatchewan (24 percent) and Manitoba (one percent). CROP PLANNING SOFTWARE Alberta producers can take advantage of a free computer software download that can help

evaluate their crop planning options. CropChoice$ version 3.8 will be released March 31. It will continue to provide producers with the ability to test different cropping scenarios and measure potential profitability. The new software features 40 crops that can be entered into simulations. Growers can create up to eight cropping scenarios at one time to measure and compare. CropChoice$ can estimate the worst, best and most likely values for yields and prices. It will also estimate benchmarks based on the selected crop and soil zone if the required inputs are not known. The latest upgrade has also been updated with AFSC’s newest insurance numbers to help determine risk management. For more information, contact the Ag-Info Centre at 310-3276.

AGRONOMY | PRODUCTION ISSUES

Photos, measurements help experts identify diseases, weeds, insects Diagnosing problems | Collect as much information as possible, says agronomist BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BROOKS, Alta. — This year’s crop isn’t in the ground yet, but farmers already know two things about it: there will be successes and there will be problems. The successes will be celebrated, but properly diagnosing the problems will be key to limiting their severity. Norm Flore, agronomic services manager with Agrium’s Crop Production Services, is often called upon to diagnose crop conditions caused by weather, insect and herbicide damage, fertility and disease. “If there has to be one thing we have to kind of stress, is not to jump to conclusions,” he said during a pest surveillance branch update in Brooks March 18. He said a common reaction when facing a poorly emerged crop is to blame seed quality or excess fertilizer in the seed row. It’s probably neither, said Flore, so growers should collect more evidence before taking action. Farmers have many tools at their disposal to diagnose crop problems. They know the field and cropping history, for starters, and expert advice isn’t difficult to find. “And there’s nothing wrong with a soil probe and a shovel,” Flore added. Checking the crop in unsprayed areas, sheltered areas, north versus south facing areas and in sprayer and seeding overlaps can provide vital clues on the nature of the problem. When seeking expert advice, he advised producers to use the proper names for plant parts so they can best describe the situation. Knowledge of cotyledons, crown roots and the difference between tillers and branches are likely to come in handy. They should also look for patterns and realize the role of human activity and error. “I’m big on field patterns,” said Flore. “When you see a pattern or you see straight lines of something going on, generally that is a man-made thing. Mother Nature doesn’t do anything in straight lines.” He recommended the Alberta Soils Information Viewer at www1.agric. gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs. nsf/all/sag10372 and AgroClimatic Information Service at agriculture. alberta.ca/acis/about.jsp as useful diagnostic tools. When it comes to diagnosing insect problems, Alberta insect management specialist Scott Meers said he and his team appreciate good photographs of pests. “A cutworm lying on its side, they all look the same,” said Meers, as he showed examples. “I really hate curled up cutworm pictures.” Photos showing the insect, where it was found, the crop involved and an indication of size will contribute to accurate identification, said Meers. If only one photo is possible, make it the dorsal view — the one from above, showing the back of the insect.

But more photos showing various angles and context are best. Best of all, of course, is the actual bug. If you’re close enough to get a picture, you’re probably close enough to grab it and put it in a bag and freeze it.” Farmers can then send the insect to the lab for identification. The exceptions to that are cutworms, which turn to mush when frozen and thawed. Nicole Kimmel, an Alberta Agriculture weed specialist, also pleaded

for context and multiple photos when farmers seek weed identification. Ideally, a field view including the weed should accompany photos of the individual plant including an overall shot and separate photos of its roots, flowers and leaves. She recommended placing a ruler alongside the plant, which is useful in determining its overall size and those of the plant parts.

Cross contamination of pea seeds concerning

China will remain a buyer for Canadian agriculture

Green and yellow peas | Reports indicate seeds are being mixed during harvest or cleaning BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Yellow peas are showing up in green pea fields, which has some growers seeing red. Denis Gregoire, president of Gregoire Seed Farms Ltd. in North Battleford, Sask., has heard a few reports of growers upset about contamination of their green pea fields. It is a big concern for them because of the substantial price premium for green peas over yellow peas, which Stat Publishing said amounted to $5.25 per bushel last week. Gregoire said some farmers think

the problem lies with pedigreed seed. Tom Warkentin, a pea breeder with the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, said it is unlikely that it is a problem at his end because breeder seed is released with high purity. Gregoire said the Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspects his crops before they are sold to farmers. Warkentin said the most likely explanation is that yellow pea seed is getting mixed in with green pea seed at the planting, harvesting, binning or seed cleaning phases of the farming operation. It’s also possible, although unlikely,

that volunteer yellow pea plants are growing in the green pea crop, he said in an email. Warkentin said there is also a chance that a green pea variety outcrossed with a yellow pea variety in a nearby field, but the rate of outcrossing is low. Gregoire had another possible explanation: bleaching in the field. Pods can be split open when growers use ground rig sprayers for fall desiccation, which makes them prone to bleaching. It has happened on Gregoire’s farm. “They’ll bleach out and look like a yellow pea,” he said.

However, he agrees with Warkentin that the most probable cause is inadvertent mixing of the two classes of peas. Gregoire knows of one customer who originally thought there was something wrong with the green pea seed he bought but later discovered that yellow peas had stuck to the walls of a bin that had been improperly cleaned and later used to store green pea seed. “He said he had contaminated himself,” said Gregoire. The issue remains a big frustration for growers whose green peas are either heavily discounted or rejected at the processing plant.

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — China’s slowing growth shouldn’t concern producers too much, says Farm Credit Canada’s chief agricultural economist. J.P. Gervais told an agricultural outlook seminar earlier this month that the active working population in China, which includes people aged 15 to 59, began to decline in 2012. Productivity has to go up when populations decline to maintain the same standard of living, which in turn should push up wages. “That’s good for ag,” Gervais said. He said a Chinese consumer will spend 40 cents of every dollar on food, compared to 10 cents in Canada Chinese soybean imports have doubled every five years for the past 10 years, he added, which means the country now obtains 60 percent of its supply from the world market. A corn and barley surplus has turned into a small deficit, and Gervais believes that will continue as China produces more livestock to meet a growing demand for animal protein. However, cheap labour has been the most important driver in the Chinese economy, and that will change if the working population shrinks. “Yes, their growth is going to start to slow down, but wages are going to go up and consumption is going to gain a lot more weight,” Gervais said. “Thirty-five percent of the (Chinese) economy is consumption. In Canada it’s 66 percent. In the U.S. it’s 70 percent.” He said increasing the consumption rate means more money will be spent on food. The United States remains Canada’s biggest customer, and employment is rebounding now that the drama over the country’s debt and budget has largely subsided. U.S. monetary policy has changed as a result, and Gervais said countries that relied on American capital, such as India, Argentina, South Africa, Brazil and Turkey, are fragile. India and Turkey are large buyers of Canadian pulse crops, and the Canadian dollar is gaining value against their currencies, particularly in India. He said that makes Canadian pulses more expensive and less competitive. Consumers in India and Turkey are price sensitive, and those markets are two to watch. Meanwhile, Gervais said Canadian producers should keep an eye on interest rates. He said it’s false to say they aren’t going up. The Bank of Canada rate might be holding steady, but the bank only controls short-term rates. L ong-term rates have actually increased considerably since September 2010. “If you wait for the Bank of Canada to tell you interest rates are going to go up, you look at the bond market, rates will have moved up before that, for sure,” he said. Gervais expects farmland values to cool as commodity prices dip. They may not actually go down, but he said the large increases of the last few years probably won’t continue.

LIVESTOCK | ADDING GOATS

Goats, cattle can make ideal pasture mates Complementary grazing | The two species eat different plants and get along well, but different fencing is necessary BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

David and Nola Hill have always had cattle on their mixed farm near Ogema, Sask. However, when their last child graduated and left the nest, the Hills opted to get goats to fill the void. The ethnic market in nearby Regina was growing quickly in 2006, which made goats a logical move. “We gradually got some friends in the Muslim faith and the first question they asked was if our farm has any goats,” said David Hill. While the goats earn the Hills more dollars per acre, cattle are much more profitable on a dollars per hour basis. “The goats are a lot of hands on work,” said Hill. “You have to trim their hoofs on a regular basis.” However, he said they also have advantages. “The goats are nice to work with, as you can manhandle them, pick them up and physically put them where you want. You can’t do that with a cow.” The goats and cattle work well together. They can be put in the same pasture because they eat different grasses and do not compete for the same plants. The goats enjoy buck brush, shrubbery and rough plants, while the cows do not. Fences are the biggest issue with goats. A three- or four-strand barbed wire fence will keep in a cow but not goats. Some producers go with six or seven strands, while others choose an electric fence. Four or five strands will keep goats in once they become accustomed to an electric fence. As well, they will not place too much pressure on the fence if good grazing is available. “We enjoy ever y minute with them,” Hill said. “They all have a personality. If they want to be your friend, they’re right in your pocket. If they don’t, they’re at the other side of the pen.” The Hills feed their goats round bales during the winter. “I designed some round bale feeders that work quite well,” said Hill. “They’re made of square tubing with narrower spacing. The goats tend to climb up inside a big round bale feeder. The cows eat through the outside, so they don’t have any problems getting along in the same pen.” The Hills were initially concerned about the risk of cows stepping on the goats but they found the smaller animals to be agile and nimble. “If the cows start pushing and shoving, the goats get out of the way quite quickly.” The Hills have found that goats have much higher nutrition requirements than cattle. They feed their cattle nine, 10, and 12 percent protein feed, but the goats need 18 percent. The Hills grow their own feed, including grain, although they sometimes find it more economical to buy barley. “Sometimes we’ll buy a ration from a pelleting plant that’s higher protein and has all the minerals and everything mixed in,” said Hill.

Cattle producers don’t need to make many major changes when adding goats to their operations. | “If we can get that for the same price as raw barley, then we sell our raw barley and buy prepared feed. With goats, you don’t have to grind their grain, as they have really good chewing teeth. Cows get more nutrition out of grain when it’s ground.” The cows eat leftovers because they are not fussy eaters, but the goats like clean hay and water, so they take the first choice feed. “We’ve had them share the same pen with some of the mature cattle. Our bucks and bulls ran together one winter and got along quite well.” Goats are hardy animals and not bothered by the cold. “But they don’t like wind or rain, so they go into my old cattle sheds,” said Hill. “They work bankers’ hours: not getting up until eight in the morning and by dark they’re all tucked back in.” The Hills were able to use their cattle equipment with the goats. The only adjustments were to add paneling to enclose the goats and close off the gates. Smaller head gates were needed so they made a scaled down version of their cattle handling facility. Seventy-five female goats are expecting babies this spring. Older does usually have twins or triplets, depending on nutrition and breeding time. “If you’re a little lax on your nutrition, you’ll have lots of single babies or twins,” said Hill. “We’re keeping the barley in front of the girls and keeping them healthy. Younger moms tend to have single babies, so we’re just getting rolling here now.” The Hills have 40 males on feed that w i l l b e so l d f or me at f ro m t h e farmgate. Customers typically pick out their own goat to take with them. Hill has learned that each ethnic group is different. “The Filipino community in Ogema will come and buy goats for special occasions. They don’t skin anything. They singe,” he said.

“Right now, goat meat is the most eaten red meat in the world and is

IRRIGATION | MANAGEMENT

Saskatchewan project tests winter wheat in forage rotation Flood irrigation | Official believes introduction of cash crop may benefit southwestern Saskatchewan ranchers BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Winter wheat could put more cash in the hands of producers with flood irrigated land, says a Saskatchewan Agriculture official. As part of a demonstration project last fall, winter wheat was seeded at three sites in southwestern Saskatchewan that more regularly see greenfeed. Producers in the region, mostly ranchers, typically manage perennial forage systems of barley, oats and triticale sandwiched between alfalfa.

“The water for irrigation is not really at the beck and call of the producer. When it’s time to irrigate, all of the neighbours irrigate. The whole project irrigates and the water sort of comes at a time when an ivory tower says you get water. It doesn’t come when the producer necessarily wants it or calls for it,” said Gary Kruger, an irrigation agrologist with the agriculture ministry. “So my thought was, ‘let’s get winter wheat in there because winter wheat will be big enough in the fall that it can probably survive the flood in spring.’ ” Producers in the region are facing

added costs as ownership of the irrigation projects are transferred from the federal and provincial governments. Saskatchewan Agriculture says 100,000 acres receive the single springtime flood. “What I’m trying to do is find ways that would help to improve their profitability so that they can continue to farm those acres as irrigated,” said Kruger. “Because what’s going to happen if we don’t find a way is the projects will be abandoned and revert to regular farmland, dry land, or be sown down to pasture.”

Sites at Eastend and Consul were seeded in chem-fallow, while the Ponteix trial was on durum stubble. All were seeded with the Moats variety. Kruger said the two earliest-seeded sites advanced to the three to four leaf stage before freezing, while the other site lagged behind, making winterkill a possibility. Reduced snow cover this year and a lack of snow catch from stubble on chem-fallow are also causes of concern, he said. “If we have a winter that’s not too harsh, the chem-fallow idea, I think, can work quite easily,” said Kruger.

“But the winter of 2013-14 hasn’t been especially kind to that thinking. If we had last winter this year, it would’ve worked fine, but this year I’m expecting to have pretty significant winter kill.” Kruger expects the plots to require minimal management during the growing season, other than one weed control application. He said winter wheat is an attractive option because of its potential to yield higher than spring varieties and make use of nitrogen in the soil from alfalfa forage stands. Seeding winter cereals in the fall is always a challenge, which is compounded by often dry conditions in the area. “Certainly one of the difficulties we have working in the southwest is that the farmers are predominantly cattle farmers and so they don’t necessarily have access to disc drills … and lowdisturbance seeding systems,” he said. “So putting winter wheat into stubble isn’t necessarily the easiest for these guys because they don’t have the equipment.”

BROOKS, Alta. — Insurance policies can take many forms. Some of them fly and pollinate crops. That’s how ecologist Mark Wonneck of Agriculture Canada views wild bees. With all the public attention focused on honeybees, relatively little is aimed at Canada’s 960 species of wild bees. “This is kind of like an insurance policy, having wild pollinators out there, too,” Wonneck told a March 18 pest surveillance branch update in Brooks. Alberta has 90 to 100 species of wild bees, yet most of the attention goes to honeybees and leafcutter bees. “It’s probably reasonably true that in agricultural areas where so much of the habitat, especially where lots of annual cropping makes up a big part of the landscape, that populations (of wild bees) are definitely down relative to where there’s more habitat available.” Wonneck said most wild species do not travel far from their nests, so habitat should be no more than 150 metres from the crop that requires pollination. Seventy percent of wild bee species nest underground, and unlike their honeybee relatives, most wild bees are solitary. If possible, habitat on field margins should be at least seven to 10 metres wide, with maximum sun exposure to encourage a variety of wild flowers. Pesticides should be the pest control of last resort if wild bees are to be protected, Wonneck said. They tend to fly earlier than honeybees and will continue in colder and wetter weather, which makes them more vulnerable to pesticide spraying.

ries. However, the problem is compounded in this agriculturally rich region by competition from the oil and gas industry and difficulties with the foreign worker program. Rhonda Lang handles human resources for the Kasko Cattle Co., which operates four feedlots in southern Alberta. She said feedlots are no longer designated as primary agriculture businesses under foreign worker program rules. Feedlots’ new designation as agribusiness has lengthened the approval time for hiring and imposed additional wage requirements. “It’s frustrating that the government is making it hard for us to bring more foreign workers over because they’re the ones who I feel I have the (best chance) of keeping because they want to work,” said Lang. Employee retention is a problem at many cattle feeding operations in the Lethbridge area. Lang said workers in processing jobs — unloading and sorting cattle and administering vaccinations — have the highest turnover and often quit without notice. “Typically when they leave we don’t get the two week notice or the one week notice. They just don’t show up,” he said. “So we’ve really been spending lots of time recruiting foreign workers. They seem to be the most dedicated to coming and working hard and wanting to stay on.”

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.

Alan Dooley of Alberta Agriculture’s agricultural labour recruitment division, said the province’s unemployment rate is 4.6 percent, which is statistically considered to be full employment. However, there are still Albertans who want jobs. “We do work with the temporary foreign worker program and it has its place, but our first priority is to Albertans and permanent residents and to make sure they at least get some opportunities for work,” he said.

DUTCH ELM DISEASE | PRUNING BAN

IS MY TREE AN ELM?

Alta. elm tree pruning ban takes effect April 1 BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

With spring comes the annual Alberta ban on elm tree pruning and the perennial reminder not to transport firewood during the coming camping season. Dutch elm disease is the reason behind the caution. Alberta is free of the disease, which is caused by a fungus that can kill elm trees. Nigel Seymour, a tree consultant contracted by Stop DED, said absence of the disease is no reason to become complacent. “What we have been finding, par-

ticularly in Medicine Hat … is the insects that will spread it,” said Seymour. “The insects are there, but we haven’t seen symptoms. Just because the insects are there doesn’t mean the disease is there, but it does mean that the trees are getting stressed.” It means trees will be more susceptible to the fungus if it arrives. The disease-inducing fungus is spread by European, native and banded elm bark beetles. The insects are initially attracted to weak and dying trees, in which they burrow and breed. Adult beetles then fly to healthy elms, transporting the fungus.

Elms should not be pruned between April 1 and Sept. 30 because that provides entry points for beetles, said Seymour. If an elm must be pruned during the banned period for safety reasons, the pruned material should be chipped, buried or burned so no beetle habitat is provided. Nesting material is also the reason behind cautions about transporting firewood. “Not only does that bring in the beetles sometimes, but it’s a spot where the beetles will go … under the bark and lay their eggs.” Campers are advised to buy their firewood locally and burn it on site.

Dutch elm disease has killed millions of American elm trees in North America, Europe and Asia. It is prevalent in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Montana. Elms are among the most popular trees planted in cities and as ornamentals on farms and acreages. “If we lost the elms, it would be devastating in this province,” Seymour said. “One of the reasons why we don’t have it (in Alberta), a big reason, is Stop DED.

and that Brooks area. That’s the hardest hit area and that’s where a lot of the agriculture is.” Many agricultural and food processing jobs can’t compete with oil patch wages, but money isn’t the entire picture. “We’re pretty competitive wage wise. We try to maintain that within the food manufacturing group,” said David Duske, human resource manager with Lamb Weston. “We can’t compete with oil and gas or maybe construction. It’s a different industry,” he said. “The flip side of that is we’re very consistent. We’re a 24-7 operation all year round and very consistent, very steady. Some of these other industries can be very up and down.” L a m b We s t o n , a d i v i s i o n o f ConAgra, operates a potato processing plant east of Taber that employs 260 people. Its current labour needs include tradesmen, millwrights and production employees. Ag Growth International, which builds grain bins and augers in a large manufacturing plant in Nobleford, Alta., was at the job fair seeking sales representatives and engineers. “In general, I think agriculture kind of gets a bad name for having lower wages. I think that the money can be there if you have the right skill set,” said AGI human resources manager Heather Meller. Cattle slaughter facilities are among the agribusinesses constantly seeking workers. Representatives from JBS in Brooks and Cargill in High River were recruiting at the job fair, with hundreds of positions available. Laszlo Bodor of Cargill said the work can be difficult but wages starting at $17.30 per hour are higher than many other jobs, and they come with stability, benefits and a pension plan. “We’re working hard to improve our retention, but it is up to each individual, and the competition, of course,” Bodor said. “There are a lot of people competing for the same person.” A list of upcoming Alberta job fairs can be found at humanservices. alberta.ca/jobfairs.

ny farmer buying a truck between the first and second world wars probably bought new simply because used trucks weren’t available. Most of these pre-war trucks stayed on their original farm until they could no longer pull themselves down a hill. Thousands of them are rusting away in the bush on the same farm where they first saw service. All that changed after the Second World War. Used military trucks of all brands and sizes came back to Canada on the same ships carrying solders. And many of those solders had notions of bringing a war truck back to the home farm. Industry was in high gear by the time the war ended. Manufacturers had invested heavily in new truck factories and they wanted to keep them running. They had catered to farmers before the war, but once it was over, truck companies put extra effort into mechanizing agriculture. One Canadian truck brand from the 1913-72 period that many farmers identify with is the Fargo. The Fargo Motor Car Co. of Chicago built Fargo trucks from 1913-22, and there are two theories about the name’s origin. One is that the name was chosen to take advantage of the Wells Fargo Stagecoach image and the rough and tumble way of life pursued by rugged individualists. The other is that the name was based on “far” and “go,” meaning the truck will “go far.” Whichever the case, the name disappeared from 1922-28 until Chrysler bought the original Fargo manufacturing company in Chicago, name and all. At first, Chrysler produced two distinct truck lines: lighter trucks were known as Fargo Packets while heavier trucks were known as Fargo Clippers. Both were powered by the same Plymouth four cylinder gas engine and both drew heavily from the parts bins of Plymouth, DeSoto and

Chrysler cars. Fargo trucks started to become serious haulers in 1930, when the one-ton Freighter debuted and the full product line was given the DeSoto six cylinder gas engine. At that time, heavy dump trucks and semi tractors rounded out the lineup, with optional Perkins or Meadows diesel engines. The Depression saw the demise of hundreds of North American car, truck and farm implement manufacturers. For Chrysler, it was a golden opportunity to buy the Dodge Brothers Co., which included the Graham Brothers Truck Co., builders of heavy duty trucks. This takeover established the Dodge-Desoto-Plymouth-Chrysler family as a major contender in the North American truck market, but it also gave Chrysler three competing truck lines in a depressed market. As a result, the Graham line was absorbed by Dodge, turning Dodge into the top selling brand, with Fargo lagging a distant second in the U.S. market. But rather than kill the Fargo name, Chrysler dropped it from the U.S. market and exported Fargo trucks to Canada and other countries. The Canadian Fargo came to market in 1936, available in five models from half-ton to three-ton. For decades, starting in 1936, every Fargo ad included a variation of the line, Built by Chrysler in Canada. “Fargo trucks for most export countries were made in the United States, though all Fargos sold in Canada were made in Canada,” according to an historical article in the Plymouth Bulletin corporate newsletter. Chrysler thought it was making a big splash with truck buyers in 1950 when it introduced its unique automatic transmission, called Fluid Drive. However, truck buyers 63 years ago were nothing like truck buyers today. They bought only heavy duty work trucks and had no confidence in automatic transmissions. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

FLUID DRIVE NOW AVAILABLE ON FARGO TRUCKS

By the late 1950s, prairie farmers were looking for bigger trucks. Halftons no longer had the capacity to haul the volume of grain they produced. Two-ton and three-ton grain trucks with duals and hydraulic dump boxes became the norm, and bigger farmers began buying five-ton trucks. The last farm truck with a unique Canadian identity rolled off the assembly line at the end of the 1972 model year. After spending $50 million on a major upgrade of the 60-year old brand name, Chrysler pulled the pin on Fargo in 1972. The evolution of farm trucks since 1972 is a familiar story. Rail branch lines have been pulled up and distances from farmgate to elevator delivery have increased, as have farm size and per acre productivity. Farmers either run their own fleet of semi trucks or hire truckers to haul grain to the elevators. Semi tractors that once boosted 250 h.p. have been replaced by fuel efficient, environmentally friendly tractors putting out 600 h.p. Experts agree that compliance with the full Tier 4 criteria will ultimately result in better fuel efficiency with fewer emissions, but the complexity of those engines may cause headaches and downtime. As well, the construction, mining, logging and manufacturing sectors are gradually migrating toward diesel-electric drive. Electric interface between power source and rubber on the ground gives the operator better control, thus making better use of the available horsepower. Electric drive also introduces the possibility of economically viable multi-wheel drive on semi rigs. As-needed all-wheel drive on the tractor and trailer makes it more feasible for a semi to haul out to the field during seeding and haul back from the field during harvest.

Th basic idea of FLUID DRIVE The is simple as ‘A-B-C’ To understand the simplicity of gyrol gyr Fluid Drive, consider this: Fluid … any fluid … is at the same time tim as “soft” and “pliable” as cotton or rubber, yet as “firm” and incompressible as steel. pre Water trickling from a fire hose has scarcely enough force to bend a blade sca of grass. But open the valve, and the g pressure will knock a giant off his feet. pre This principle is applied to the transmission of power in an easily tra understood manner. un Two fan-like members … closely facing each other, but not touching … are enclosed in an airtight housing. This enc housing is then partially filled with hou fluid. flui That’s all there is to the “Fluid Drive” Dri unit. You can easily understand, that with wit this unit only partially filled with i fluid, you can slowly turn one of the fan-like members without moving the other. But it’s equally obvious that the minute you start turning one of these members at a rapid pace, the agitated fluid will press against the other member with tremendous force … causing it to revolve with increasing power and speed. Thus … with no direct mechanical connection …the properties of fluid are utilized to transmit engine power … with a smoothness and sureness never before known. Only Chrysler- Built Trucks offer Fluid Drive!

WATER | AGRICULTURE

California eases water restrictions to help farmers Intense lobbying | The area is in its third year of drought and the agricultural sector is suffering SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) — Drought-plagued California will ease protections for fish in the fragile San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta, a move expected to make more water available for farming and ease political tensions in an election year. The move marks a retreat from restrictions imposed earlier in the year, which had widely been expected to be tightened further, rather than eased, and was welcomed in the agricultural community. “California’s agriculture is critical to the world’s food supply,” said assemblywoman Kristin Olsen, who represents part of the San Joaquin Valley, and had lobbied against the restrictions. Citing recent rains, regulators said March 18 that there was enough water in the state’s reservoirs to partially ease restrictions. “We were quite concerned at that time about the issue of public health and safety,” Tom Howard, executive director of the state Water Resources Control Board, said in a conference call March 19. “This really had the markings of a historic drought.” The move comes after weeks of intensive lobbying from growers, lawmakers from agricultural regions and the state’s two U.S. senators, who said the restrictions, along with the possible curtailment of water rights for some agricultural and municipal customers, would harm the state’s economy. The most populous U.S. state is in its third year of a drought that may still turn out to be one of the worst in its history despite recent storms that

brought rain and snow, leaving some small communities at risk of running out of drinking water and possibly forcing farmers to leave a half-million acres unseeded. Recent storms dropped nearly 30 centimetres of rain in some areas, boosting reservoir levels, but still leaving supplies way below normal for this time of year. Under the new rules, which Howard said may be modified again next month, the two massive public water projects responsible for pumping water in the delta will be able to deliver to farmers and others once the state determines that there is enough flowing to meet health and sanitation needs of residents. Scott Shapiro, an attorney specializing in water issues for the Sacramento firm Downey Brand, said expanding the allowable uses of tight water supplies was important to others, as well as farmers. “It’s not just for agriculture, because there are other needs that may be contracted for that go beyond health and safety,” Shapiro said. “It could include other municipal, industrial and agricultural needs.” In addition, the state planned to reduce by about a third the amount of water that the projects were required to leave in the delta as a way of protecting fish, Howard said during the press briefing. Mark Cowin, director water resources for the state, said fish and wildlife experts consulted by his department said endangered species in the delta would not be harmed by the looser rules.

Rail traffic jam hits U.S. CHICAGO/NEW YORK (Reuters) — Canadian rail companies aren’t alone in their difficulties as they try to cope with the extreme weather this winter. A winter-long traffic jam on American railways is hampering transport of ethanol and other goods, forcing production cuts and ratcheting up prices in supply-deprived regions. The coldest winter in three decades has stalled locomotives, frozen track switches and delayed crews, causing snarls in Chicago and other major hubs. Deliveries of grain, oil, propane, and natural gas have struggled to keep up. East Coast stocks of fuel ethanol fell to their lowest level on record last week, down to 4.6 million barrels from 6.4 million at the same time last year, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed. Midwest ethanol producers — who

often can store no more than 10 days’ worth of production on site — are finding their tanks full as railroad pickups slow. Brian Cahill, chief executive officer of Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy, which operates a 110 million gallon-per-year ethanol plant in Council Bluffs, Iowa, said his company mitigates the issue by loading unit trains of 80 cars or more. But congestion is still slowing shipments. A spokeswoman for CSX Corp., which has experienced delays in eastbound deliveries, said the railroad is working to relieve the congestion, but warned that “progress will be somewhat slow.” BNSF Railway Co., which serves Midwest markets, said it is detouring rail traffic into St. Louis and Memphis for interchange with other railroads that serve the East Coast — an attempt at relieving congestion in Chicago.

PEST | CATERPILLAR

Brazil’s breadbasket sees threat creep in Soybean, cotton fields invaded | The caterpillar eats its way into the pod and cost farmers millions last year SAO DESIDERIO, Brazil (Reuters) — Brazilian farmers are battling a voracious caterpillar that likely arrived from Asia. The pest is challenging the agricultural superpower just as it is on the verge of becoming the world’s top soybean producer. The caterpillar, helicoverpa armigera, thrives in dry heat and was spotted for the first time in the Americas on cotton farms in the drought-prone Brazilian state of Bahia in early 2012, fuelling panic among farmers who had no idea what it was. The caterpillar was soon in soybean fields thousands of kilometres away, thanks to the long-distance flying

power of its moths, which eat everything from tomatoes to sorghum. Crop losses have thus far been limited, but Brazil is now on red alert over the nation’s third major pest outbreak in 30 years. Officials have stepped up port controls, farmers are rethinking planting patterns and the hardest hit are blaming the government’s cumbersome bureaucracy for not allowing the import of pesticides that have helped control the bug in other nations. Most importantly, the caterpillar appears to be eating away at Brazil’s proud claim to have conquered the craft of growing reliable crops in a tropical region where pests and dis-

Bombarda found his first helicoverpa armigera in a bean plant. He knew by the way the fattened, wormlike creature had chewed its way inside the pod, beyond the reach of chemicals, that it was not one of Brazil’s usual leaf-eating pests. “If you wait and send it to a lab it will be too late,” he said. Bahia, one of Brazil’s newest farming frontiers, lost three million tonnes of soybeans and cotton last year to the caterpillar and drought, which is nearly half of its usual grain production, said the National Confederation of Agriculture. However, Brazil still produced an 81.5 million tonne soybean crop. The caterpillar has not reduced forecasts for an even larger soybean harvest this year, but it has provided a wake-up call about the risks of farming in the insect-ridden tropics, especially as more farmland is put into use. It also shows how Brazil’s emergence as a major breadbasket has made it the fastest-growing market for biotechnology firms such as Monsanto, which could benefit from the outbreak by selling its new caterpillar-resistant genetically modified soy and cotton varieties. Embrapa, the government’s agricultural research agency, determined helicoverpa armigera was a new species in Brazil last February, a year after farmers in Bahia had noticed it was different from other pests and seemed immune to pesticides. “No one was expecting a species like this,” said Alexandre Specht, the researcher who identified the caterpillar at a laboratory outside Brasilia. A small display case at the Embrapa research centre compares brown helicoverpa armigera moths with the nearly identical helicoverpa zea, already known in South America. The caterpillar most likely arrived with cargo on a plane or ship from Asia, said Luis Rangel, director of the Brazilian agriculture ministry’s sanitation department. “The Chinese bring in a lot of plants. It could have come in through this transit.” China is Brazil’s top trading partner and buys most of its soybeans. The government has responded to the outbreak by adding organic material detectors in its main ports and airports, which Rangel said Argentina and Chile is already using. Further measures will be taken in conjunction with the national intelligence agency when the World Cup starts in June, he said. Embrapa researchers said Brazil was also considering building a pest identification database at its main ports, as does the helicoverpa armig-

era-free United States. Brazil had hoped to beat a pest cycle that has plagued Brazil once a decade since it started large-scale commercial agriculture. First there was the silverleaf whitefly in the 1990s, followed by soy rust fungus 10 years later, and both are still problems. Brazil was also the world’s top cocoa producer until witches’ broom disease devastated the industry in the 1990s. The country’s soybean area has expanded by 40 percent in the past five years, meaning the helicoverpa armigera outbreak has had a more significant economic impact, Rangel said. Farmers’ tendency to plant soybeans repeatedly instead of rotating crops has also made Brazil more vulnerable to pests, he said. To prevent another outbreak, the government is promoting “integrated agriculture,” which involves monitoring pests, rotating crops and seed varieties and using biological controls and natural enemies, with chemicals as a last resort. Rangel said it is a completely new approach. “The helicoverpa changed everything about phytosanitary policy in Brazil,” he said. Bombarda, who is also an agronomist, said pesticides will be necessary. “The solution for helicoverpa is to bring in products to control the helicoverpa — immediately.” T h e Ba h i a s t at e g ov e r n m e nt announced that Syngenta’s emamectin benzoate would be available last March, shortly after Embrapa identified the new caterpillar. Yet a year later, farmers still do not have access to it. “It turned into an unprecedented bureaucracy,” said Celito Breda, a cotton consultant in Bahia who has travelled across Brazil to discuss helicoverpa armigera and believes emamectin benzoate would provide the most efficient control. “The government created a bunch of rules and obstacles.” Syngenta said the company awaited decisions from federal and state governments on regulations and permits needed to import the product.

RODEO | SCORE OF 94

Stampede horse posts ‘phenomenal’ score Stampede Warrior | Many horses from the Calgary Stampede stable spend winter on the American rodeo circuit for the size and the strength and that competitive nature.” Stampede Warrior is one of 48 Stampede animals on the Texas tour, where they have logged 120,000 kilometres and multiple rodeo appearances. The animals do get pasture time while in Texas and will be coming home at the end of March to rest on the Stampede ranch near Hanna, Alta., until their Canadian dates begin in mid-May. “They’re what I call the snowbird Canuck bucks,” Clark said. “They go down, they’re hanging out for a few months at a time, down in Texas, and apparently the Texas sunshine really suits them because they have been bringing the party every time out.” The horses have impressed American audiences, she added, and many of the bucking broncs have their Grated Coconut genetics to thank. The most successful pro rodeo bucking horse of all time is now “enjoying his job as prime daddy” at the ranch as part of the Born to Buck program.

She was bred to buck, and buck she does — and breaks records while doing it. Stampede Warrior, a horse in the Calgary Stampede rodeo stock stable, set a new arena record for saddle bronc March 15 at Rodeo Houston. Cody DeMoss of Louisiana scored 94 aboard the mare, who is the daughter of famed Stampede bucking horse Grated Coconut. Such a high score is rare in rodeo, said Calgary Stampede communications adviser Bonni Clark. The highest score ever recorded, 95, was set by Grated Coconut himself at the 2005 Calgary Stampede. A 94 might be a record score for the United States, but that hasn’t been confirmed. “We don’t want to make any claims on that, but it is pretty phenomenal,” said Clark. The mare also carried saddle bronc rider Wade Sundell of Iowa to the championship in Arlington, Texas, earlier this month. Stampede Warrior began her career as a bareback horse but was switched to saddle bronc this year when her potential became evident, said Stampede rodeo and chuck wagon director Keith Marrington. “She’s the result of an NFR (Nation-

offspring,” he said. The mare has a sturdy appearance common to rodeo stock bred for the purpose, added Clark.

Goss’s wilt bacteria spreads into Western Canada Fungicide not effective | Disease-free seed, crop rotation and sanitation are management tools BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

It looks like Goss’s wilt bacteria is here to stay. The corn plant wilting disease was confirmed in Manitoba in 2009 and found in Alberta last year. Clavibacter michiganensis, subspecies nebraskensis, is a plant pathogenic bacterium that causes a disease on corn known as Goss’s bacterial wilt

areas, mostly north, northeast and south. In 2013, the disease was reported in Montana and Alberta and as far south as Louisiana.

“When the disease is severe, especially the wilting symptoms, it can be very destructive,” said Harding. “The bacteria move into the stems and block the xylem elements, making it so the plant loses its ability to transport water from the roots. A field with a susceptible corn variety, high levels of disease and warm, wet weather can be severely damaged, leading to massive reductions in crop health and yield. In a worst case scenario, yield losses of 50 to 60 percent or more could occur. In most cases in Western Canada, the yield reductions haven’t been that severe.” T h e d i s e a s e’s i m p a c t v a r i e s, depending on the stage it is introduced, whether it invades the xylem to cause the wilting or only causes leaf blight, weather conditions during and subsequent to infection and susceptibility of the corn variety. “Now that this disease has expanded beyond the range of its historical distribution and into Western Canada, it will be important for corn producers to watch for it in their fields so they can manage it properly if it appears,” said Harding. Goss’s wilt bacteria affects corn crops, although other grass weed species also provide a host. Fungicides aren’t effective because the disease is caused by a bacterial pathogen. However, hybrid varieties with genetic resistance are available. The disease is residue- and seedborne, so disease-free seed, crop rotation, crop residue management and sanitization are other management tools. Using good quality, disease-free seed is a key way to prevent introducing the disease. “The bacteria don’t survive well in the absence of the host tissues, so rotating away from corn combined with good control of grassy weeds for a few years will help the corn stalks to break down and reduce the levels of surviving bacteria in the field,” said Harding. Harvest and tillage operations that remove residue or help corn stalks break down quickly will also help break the disease cycle. Cleaning equipment before leaving a contaminated field is another option. “We suspect, based on what has happened in Manitoba, the bacteria is here to stay,” said Harding. “It appears possible that Goss’s wilt and leaf blight could become endemic to our corn-growing areas on the Prairies. But, for now, we’ll have to monitor the situation to determine its fate in Alberta.” Diagnostic test kits are available for a closely related bacterial pathogen that cross-reacts when exposed to Goss’s wilt pathogen. Some test kits, such as the ImmunoStrip type, are easy to use and can be performed in the field. Information on testing is available at www.neogeneurope.com and www.agdia.com. “It should be noted that a positive result with an immunological test strip is not a confirmation,” said Harding. “It’s an indication you should have a lab diagnostic performed. False positives can occur with these nonspecific test kits. The test kits are a valuable way to screen for putative positives, but they don’t provide a reliable diagnostic confirmation.”

Alta. outlines program to help tackle disease, pests BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BROOKS, Alta. — Clubroot in canola and Goss’s wilt in corn are relatively new diseases to the Prairies. A program through federal-provincial Growing Forward 2 funding is expected to help Alberta farmers control the two newcomers, as well as other pests that affect crop quality and productivity. The program was not open for applications as of March 19 but was expected to open soon. Jim Broatch, pest management specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said producers could access funds

for equipment sanitation, wash stations, computer programs, staff training, waste disposal, lab analysis and consultant costs. Terms and conditions for funding had not been finalized at press time, but Broatch said those were potential examples of projects that could qualify. “You have to tie it to the pest that you’re trying to control,” he said. “What we are asking producers to do is develop a risk assessment for their farm, looking at different pests, which ones they are either trying to avoid or which ones they’ve got that they want to do some control for. Then they have to come up with a plan.”

Projects must have a value of at least $2,000 to qualify for funding, with $30,000 in funding as the maximum per year. The program will also pay up to $250 to help farmers develop a risk assessment. Alberta Agriculture plant pathologist Ron Howard said crop producers

BROOKS, Alta. — Canola that shelled out in the high winds of September 2012 could become a problem this year for farmers using a twoyear canola rotation. Norm Flore, agronomic manager with Crop Production Services, said volunteer canola could be a problem in fields that experienced shattering. “We lost 10 bushels an acre, I remember, in the fall of 2012 in some fields,” he told a March 18 pest surveillance branch update in Brooks, Alta. “That’s 500 pounds an acre of canola seed lying out there that’s going to germinate at some point in time. We need to control that.” Canola seed can survive in soil for several years because of its tough, oily coat. The windstorms of two years ago affected millions of tonnes of prairie canola that was sitting in swaths, although damage was most extensive in Saskatchewan and Alberta. “Some of that land could be going into canola this coming year, and volunteer canola could be a huge problem on that land,” said Flore. “Farmers should be aware of it, and probably the best management practice is to use a system that wasn’t on that land in 2012. So if they grew Liberty Link in 2012, probably grow Roundup Ready in 2014 if they suspect there’s going to be a lot of volunteer because you can’t control those volunteers with the same system.” Flore also suggested farmers pay particular attention to phosphorus levels in their soil this year, given the past several years of bountiful crops. “We’ve been pulling off very good canola and cereal crops, and we’ve been removing more phosphorus from the land than what we’re putting back on,” he said. “We need to think more of a balance between removal and replenishment. Otherwise it will haunt us in a few years.” He said an increase of five to 10 lb. per acre is likely sufficient to keep a reasonable balance. Cropping history should be the main consideration in making that decision, although soil tests will also help.

haven’t been as quick as livestock producers to develop biosecurity plans, but the arrival of new diseases indicates the need. “We’ve had four years in a row now with higher than normal levels of disease, so that raises everybody’s awareness,” he said. “We have clubroot that has come in as a new disease, Goss’s wilt is a new disease and when people look around, we can see that they were probably introduced accidentally.” He said producers would be well advised to make plans for combating clubroot and blackleg in canola and fusarium head blight in cereals. “It’s a lot of common sense about

Farmer believes canola thieves had detailed plan

Promoting food oil | Economist says industry should work together to gain markets BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Getting together and staying Canadian could be key to future canola success, an agricultural economist told the Canola Council of Canada annual convention. It could allow the canola industry to leap into the consumer sweet spot that olive oil so successfully occupies. “Is it possible for us to consciously leverage our collective capabilities to build a high value product that is only available (from) Canada?” said Vincent Amanor-Boadu of Iowa

State University, who is also the former head of research for the George Morris Centre in Guelph, Ont. “Can we do something that would allow us to put the story of the Maple Leaf on this?” Amanor-Boadu said the olive oil industry managed to vault itself

above other oils by obtaining foodie and celebrity endorsements, such as Rachael Ray’s EVOO olive oil brand. Canola oil is now mostly a bulk commodity but it could transform itself into a specialty product, he added. “I think there is an opportunity for us in this industry to take on the rest of the food oil market and by telling about our ratios instead of just our numbers,” said Amanor-Boadu. People in the canola industry should make sure to work together to develop the overall canola market rather than just their own products. “We cannot take the relationships we’ve developed for granted,” he said.

Well-organized heist | 1,400 bushels of canola were stolen from Randy Syvenky’s farm in March BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A truckload of canola stolen from a grain bin has left Randy Syvenky disappointed yet motivated to

catch the thieves. About 1,400 bushels of No.1 canola worth $15,000 were recently augered from one of his hopper-bottomed bins in northeastern Edmonton. Syvenky’s yard, which is located within city limits, contains several 2,000 bu. hopper- bottomed grain bins. On March 19, he discovered that the gates to the yard had been opened, the snow plowed and the canola missing. Syvenky thinks the canola was stolen the night of March 11. He recalls seeing a grain auger parked at the Horse Hill elementary school three kilometres west of his bins. He thought at the time that it was unusual for a farmer to leave the auger parked there but chalked it up to a flat tire. Based on the amount of organization involved, Syvenky thinks the grain heist was carried out by a farmer. He also said the brazen act has been done more than once. “It’s obviously somebody with knowledge of the farm and has their own equipment,” he said. “They seemed organized, like they’ve done it before.” Syvenky thinks it took at least two people and five pieces of machinery to carry out the theft. The metal gates were opened and 30 metres of snow were cleared from the road, probably using a skid steer. The cleared area was wide enough for a 40 foot triple axle truck to turn around. Syvenky said he found a pile of canola under the hopper bottom and a trail of canola left behind by the auger. He said the thieves obviously targeted the canola because many of the other bins contained wheat. He said Edmonton city police have little knowledge of farming and no experience with stolen grain. As a result, Syvenky has turned part sleuth and is researching other incidents of grain theft as he conducts his own investigation. He thinks organizations such as the Canola Council of Canada should maintain a database on grain thefts. “I’ve been trying to research other thefts to try and link them together but I’m having a hard time,” he said. He has contacted several RCMP rural detachments to notify them of the case in the event of similar incidents. Syvenky has also asked the managers of seven local elevators to look back through their delivery records for canola shipments of less than 1,400 bu. and keep an eye out for anything suspicious. “If I don’t do this little bit of groundwork on my own, then well, it’s not going to get done and then there’s zero chance of catching them. Maybe now there’s a one percent chance,” he said. Syvenky has also posted a sign at the bin site on the busy Manning Freeway offering a reward for information.

NATIONAL FOOD STRATEGY | CONFERENCE BOARD OF CANADA

Conference board unveils national food strategy Prosperity, food safety and security are priorities | Plan calls for an end to supply management BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

TORONTO — The Conference Board of Canada’s contribution to national food strategies isn’t the first to be released, but it is likely the most comprehensive. Neil Currie, who co-chaired the Canadian Federation of Agriculture’s contribution to food sector collaboration in Canada, said the conference board and the CFA began developing their strategies in 2010. The conference board revealed its plan in Toronto March 18, the culmination of a four-year project that was backed up with 20 earlier reports focusing on specific aspects of the agriculture and food industry. “It seems we arrived at much the same points,” said Currie, who is now general manager of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. “If everyone puts ego aside and gets

over pride of authorship, then we can have a single food strategy and move forward.” Currie said both groups focus on profitably expanding export and domestic opportunities, enhancing standards for food safety and food quality and addressing issues surrounding environmental sustainability and food security. Food Secure Canada has developed another national plan: A People’s Food Policy for Canada. It has similar objectives in a number of areas but, unlike the CFA and conference board efforts, emphasizes local food systems. The supply management systems that govern dairy, egg and poultry production in the country, is one area in which the CFA and conference board plans differ. The system operates by tightly limiting domestic production while placing high tariffs on imports above prescribed limits.

Currie said the CFA advocates for reform but does not want to abandon the system. The conference board encourages supply managed industries to focus on expanding domestic and international markets and eventually moving to a liberalized system without quota, import control and price-setting mechanisms. It proposes a quota buyout, which in the dairy industry would cost taxpayers $3.6 to $4.7 billion. The conference board suggests paying producers book value for their quota rather than current market value. That would mean compensating farmers for what they paid for their quota at the time it was bought rather than its accumulated value. The market value of dairy quota was $23 billion as of the end of 2012. The conference board’s food strategy is ambitious. Michael Bloom, the conference

board’s vice-president for industry and business strategy and author of the report, said it encompasses five elements: industry prosperity, healthy food, food safety, food security and environmental sustainability. As well, there are eight goals, 62 desired outcomes, 110 action strategies and at least 400 specific actions. “We had lots of dialogue,” he said. “We had investor groups we met with. We interviewed more than 200 experts and industry leaders.” He said the strategy embraces liberalized trade, but also recognizes the importance of the domestic market and the demand-driven phenomenon of local food systems. Other goals focus on innovation, regulatory reform, food safety, the environment, food security in an urban, rural and northern context and the connection between diet and health and disease. Bloom said government, industry

and civil society have a role in meeting these goals. For example, the strategy’s food security actions would include a pan-Canadian student nutrition program, a pooling of resources among food security organizations, improved food literacy, improved distribution in food deficit areas, community gardens and tax credits and other incentives to industry for food donations. “We know success in achieving all these goals will rely on a number of groups,” Bloom said. “We know it needs collaboration. Our commitment is that we’re going to stay the course on this.” Speakers from Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands and Australia talked about national food strategy efforts in their countries. The first three jurisdictions have had success in implementing plans, while Australia has yet to put a plan into place.

(Reuters) — Confirmed cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in the United States increased by 296 in the week ended March 15. It brings the total number to 4,757, according to data released March 20 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Animal Health Laboratory Network. The U.S. and Canadian hog industries have recently developed partnerships to research what role, if any, feed or feed ingredients have had in the transmission of PED, the National Pork Board said last week. The USDA report does not include test results from feed samples. No new states have reported cases, which leaves the affected states at 27, the network said. PED has also been found in four

Canadian provinces. One case can represent an individual animal or an entire herd at a single site, but hog industry analysts estimate PED has killed an estimated five million U.S. hogs since it was discovered last May. “Unfortunately, it has spread rapidly this winter, especially here in Ohio,” said Duane Stateler, president of the Ohio Pork Council. PED, which does not affect humans and is not a food safety risk, causes diarrhea, vomiting and severe dehydration in pigs. Older pigs have a chance of survival, by 80 to 100 percent of piglets that contract it die. “The smaller the pig, the harder it is for them to recover and come back,” Stateler said.

The U.S. hog industry has grappled with tactics to contain the spread of the highly contagious pig virus, but strict biosecurity measures remain its main line of defence. The virus’s spread has already crimped the market-ready hog supply, not only in the U.S. Midwest but also on the East Coast, which has forced some pork packing plants to reduce slaughter operations. There is talk in the hog industry that some Midwest pork packing facilities may either cut one day a week, trim daily operating hours or eliminate Saturdays and overtime to reduce total operating hours. Smithfield Foods Inc. suspended hog slaughter March 14 at its Tar Heel, North Carolina, plant because PED has tightened hog supplies.

BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD | NAVIGATIONAL SKILLS

Female cowbirds show better direction sense During breeding season | Cowbirds rely on other species to raise their young so they remember suitable locations to lay their eggs BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

In most animal species, including humans, males usually outperform females if there is a spatial navigation

difference based on sex. But not the brown-headed cowbird. Melanie Francoise Guigueno, a fourth year biology PhD student at Western University, said males of

most species are polygamous and must remember the locations of the females in their territory. “In humans, men traditionally were hunters and women gathered food close to home,” said Guigueno.

Grain Guard’s new line of 4" wide corrugated grain bins are manufactured using state-of-the-art technology and are available in diameters from 15' to 105' in ﬂat bottom models, as well as 15' to 27' in hopper bottom models. With an established catalogue of aeration and conditioning equipment, high-quality grain storage bins are yet another solution provided by Grain Guard. Our research and development team has put in countless hours working to improve our Classic Rocket design. Resulting in an innovative, stronger and even more reliable rocket. We are pleased to introduce The Next Generation Rocket. The revolutionary Retro Rocket is the only do-it-yourself rocket system that allows you to retroﬁt existing hopper bottom and smooth-walled bins with farm proven Grain Guard aeration.

“So most studies show that men have better spatial navigational skills than women.” However, brown-headed cowbirds are obligate brood parasites, which mean the females lay their eggs in other species’ nests, relying solely on other bird species to raise their young. “In brown-headed cowbirds, only females search for, monitor and parasitize host nests, which is why we predicted females may have better spatial navigation than males,” said Guigueno. Females must remember the location of suitable host nests to ensure their eggs hatch and their young survive. A suitable host nest would be one that feeds the cowbird an appropriate diet and that is in the egg-laying or early incubation stage to ensure that the cowbird egg is adequately incubated. “The females in our study made fewer errors and took more direct paths when returning to a location baited with food than males,” said Guigueno. “We think that in brown-headed cowbirds, spatial memory is specialized in females for their brood-parasitic mode of reproduction.” Her prediction is based only on the breeding season, which is when cowbirds parasitize nests. “My colleagues and I wouldn’t expect that females maintain enhanced spatial navigation when they’re in non-breeding condition and migrating, as it’s very energetically costly for any organism to maintain more neurons in their brains when they don’t need them,” she said. Guigueno chose cowbirds for her research because they have a sexrole-reversed use of space. “No other study has shown females have better navigational skills than males,” said Guigueno. In the experiment, birds entered a room with 25 open cups with only one of them baited with seeds and mealworms. Twenty-four hours later, the birds returned to the room, but the cups were covered with paper. They were trained to open the

paper lids until they found the baited cup in the same location as when the cups were uncovered The researchers measured the number of errors, time and directness of the birds’ path before finding the baited cup. Females made fewer errors and took more direct paths to the baited cup than males. “These were clear cut results.… However, we didn’t find seasonal changes in their performance,” she said. “We predicted the sex difference would only be present when birds were in breeding condition, as we didn’t expect any sex differences when females weren’t searching for host nests in non-breeding condition.… Yet the females always did better. We think this is likely due to the fact that our birds were in captivity, and captivity can reduce the size of the hippocampus (the part of the brain responsible for spatial memory and navigation). So, differences in spatial navigation are possibly even greater in the wild and change seasonally.” Guigueno is now looking more deeply at sex and seasonal changes in the cowbird brain, but more specifically, the hippocampus. She predicts that female cowbirds will have a larger hippocampus with more neurons than males in the breeding season only. She also expects there will be no seasonal changes in red-winged blackbirds, a relative of the cowbird that is not a brood parasite. “I’m also going to be looking at sex and seasonal changes in neurogenesis in the hippocampus,” said Guigueno. “Neurogenesis is the recruitment of new neurons into a brain region and, specifically, neurogenesis into the hippocampus is a basis for a cure for Alzheimer’s disease in humans as this is one of the brain regions that degenerates.” Guigueno and her colleagues think the brains of female cowbirds change more than males and females of other species of birds that are not brood parasites.

EXPORTS | CHINA

China resumes Canadian canola meal imports WINNIPEG (Reuters) — China is resuming imports of Canadian canola meal, says an official with Richardson International Ltd. It will be the first shipments from Canada in about a year. The Chinese government agreed several weeks ago to resume imports of canola meal and canola meal pellets from Richardson, said Adrian Man, the company’s assistant vicepresident for the Asia Pacific region. China started a new registration process early last year that required approval of each individual Canadian company that wanted to export canola meal and canola meal pellets, Man said. He thinks Richardson is the only approved company. Bunge Ltd., Archer Daniels Midland Co., Cargill Ltd., Viterra and Louis Dreyfus Corp. also produce canola meal in Canada. ADM and Viterra could not immediately comment and other crushers could not be reached. “From a trade policy point of view, it’s important (to lift the restriction), and it’s important for the market,” said Man. Chinese buyers imported 303,000 tonnes of Canadian canola meal in 2012, according to the Canola Council of Canada. The United States is by far the biggest importer of Canadian canola meal. Chinese market analyst JC Intelligence Co. said in a letter to clients that China is again accepting Canadian canola meal, but it would have little impact on the Chinese market in the near term because of high prices and shipping delays. Richardson will not likely move canola meal to China soon because of a massive backlog in transporting crops by rail to port, Man said. The logjam and a large harvest have pushed nearby ICE Canada canola futures down 25 percent from a year ago, although they have partly recovered in the past month. Access to China may also increase Canadian crush margins, a measure of profitability for crushers who are already benefiting from margins four or five times higher than a year ago. China continues to restrict imports of Canadian canola seed.

WORLD IN BRIEF GMO

GM alfalfa approval heads to U.S. court (Reuters) — A public interest group is asking a court to force the United States Department of Agriculture to turn over documents explaining its approval of a genetically modified alfalfa even as the department acknowledged the crop’s potential to do environmental damage. The Center for Food Safety said

that it believes the USDA may have succumbed to outside pressure, possibly from Monsanto Co., the developer of the genetic trait in the biotech alfalfa. CFS filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., seeking a court order for the USDA to turn over nearly 1,200 documents related to the decision about Roundup Ready alfalfa. Neither the USDA nor Monsanto responded to requests for comment. “USDA determined Monsanto’s Roundup Ready alfalfa posed significant environmental and economic harms and initially proposed placing restrictions on it. Yet the agency went ahead and granted full unrestricted approval one month later,” said Andrew Kimbrell, CFS executive director. “Did the White House intervene? Did Monsanto pressure the agency? The fact is we don’t know, and

unless the court orders USDA to hand over these documents we may never know,” he said. BEEF SMUGGLING

China’s beef trade goes underground SINGAPORE/BEIJING (Reuters) — Industry sources estimate hundreds of thousands of tonnes of beef are being smuggled into China via neighbouring Hong Kong and Vietnam, sidestepping Beijing’s import curbs. The massive, unofficial trade reflects China’s hunger for beef. Official imports quadrupled last year, as the growing ranks of the middle class demanded more high protein food, while the grey market could be more than double that size.

Beijing is expected to lift earlier mad cow-related curbs on Brazilian beef imports soon and to finalize a deal to allow in Indian buffalo meat as other import channels shrink. China’s top supplier Australia, which accounted for about half of official imports last year, faces a slump in production due to drought. AGFINANCE

HAMBURG (Reuters) — Soybeans free of genetically modified organisms are available in growing volumes, despite claims by German poultry producers that supplies are falling, three associations that support GMO-free crops and trade said. German poultry and egg producers said they had given up on a promise to consumers to avoid feeding birds with soy containing GMOs because of lower supplies of GMO-free soybeans, especially from Brazil. “According to agricultural analysts from Brazil, the availability of GMOfree soybeans is increasing rapidly,” said the ProTerra Foundation, the Brazilian association of non-GMO grain producers ABRANGE, and VLOG, a German association for GMO-free food, in a joint statement. “Compared to the previous season, this season Brazilian farmers produced 10 percent more non-GM soy,” ABRANGE managing director Ricardo Tatesuzi said. “Forecasts for the biggest soy-producing state, Mato Grosso, predict even an increase of 50 percent more over 2013.” The export of Brazil’s 2014 soybean crop now being harvested, will involve shipping more non-GMO soybeans by container instead of in bulk carriers to reduce the risk of cross-contamination with remains of GMO crops previously shipped.

SEOUL, South Korea (Reuters) — South Korea has culled more than six percent of poultry in the country to curb a bird flu outbreak that has hit farms and migratory birds, government officials said. That brings the number of farm birds slaughtered to 10.16 million, close to a record 10.2 million during an outbreak in 2008, according to data from the agriculture ministry. No human infection has been reported, but a dog tested positive for bird flu antibodies, suggesting it had been exposed to the disease without being infected. Asia’s fourth-largest economy has had four bird flu outbreaks in the past 10 years, without any cases of human infection reported. Sales of chicken in one of Seoul’s largest markets dropped by more than half on average last month in the wake of the latest outbreak, according to a ministry official. No nationwide data is available.

JAPANESE AGRICULTURE | TARIFFS, SUBSIDIES

Japanese farmers balk at status quo to seek niches Entrepreneurial spirit | Some say Japan’s agricultural co-operative system designed to protect farmers is outdated CHIBA CITY, Japan (Reuters) — When it comes to trade policy, Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe faces a choice between the fears of Japan’s aging farm lobby and the hopes of suburban families lined up here at a nearly 20-metre long meat counter in a mall showcasing Australian beef. It is a struggle between the country’s traditionally protectionist market versus the pressure for freer trade with the rest of the world, such as through the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade group, which includes Canada. When Aeon Co. set out to open a flagship shopping mall just outside Tokyo, it wanted the scale to dazzle urban shoppers. The three-monthold Makuhari New City mall in Chiba is almost four times larger than the Tokyo Dome, a 55,000 seat stadium in the heart of the capital. Daily specials at the supermarket inside the mall include beef shipped direct from the retail giant’s feedlot in Tasmania, which reduces prices for consumers and skirts Japan’s politically strong agricultural co-operative system that many see as an outdated relic of the country’s revival after the Second World War. Japan is rebuffing international pressure to scrap import tariffs on food items, including beef, but some Japanese farmers are already stepping outside the heavily protected co-operative system, worried that the biggest threat is not trade liberalization but Japan’s rapidly aging population and its changing tastes. “I don’t think Japanese agriculture will collapse because of the participation in TPP,” said Toru Wakui, a northern Japanese rice farmer. “If it happens, it will be from an internal collapse.” This quiet but significant shift suggests Japan’s tough TPP stance aimed at protecting the country’s farmers is losing some of its foundation as more commercial pressures come to bear in Japan and farmers and their buyers work around an inflexible traditional system. The average Japanese farmer is 66 years old, the amount of farmland has dropped by a quarter over 30 years and Japan’s food self-sufficiency ratio — the share of consumed calories made at home — has dropped to 39 percent, the lowest among developed economies. Tastes are also changing and moving away from polished rice, which is protected by an import tariff of up to 778 percent. For example, the amount of money that the average Japanese family spends on bread surpassed rice for the first time in 2010. Meanwhile, the average Japanese farm is just five acres. In Canada it is 778 acres, according to the 2011 Census of Agriculture. The amount of Japanese farmland that has gone uncultivated is now as large as the cities of Tokyo and Osaka combined. Government subsidies account for more than half of farm incomes, which is the third highest ratio in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development behind Norway and Switzerland. Japan’s agriculture ministry estimates that joining TPP could cut the

value of agricultural production by another $30 billion, although the economy would receive a net boost of $30 billion, mostly through lower prices for consumers. However, Japan’s agricultural lobby, known as JA Zenchu, has presented more than 11 million signatures from voters opposed to Japan’s participation in the TPP talks, which involve 12 countries. The lobby’s ads denounce the talks as a threat to food safety, farm incomes, rural medical care and Japan’s ability to keep more than 400 far-flung islands populated and under Tokyo’s economic control. Fears over the sustainability of Japan’s network of individual farms, which originate from the end of Second World War, was partly why Aeon set up its own farming unit in 2009. The operation now includes 14 farms in Japan and slightly more than 500 acres. The company, which runs Japan’s top supermarket chain, aims to have 1,200 acres under cultivation by 2015. It has also set a goal of self-sourcing 40 percent of its vegetables, up from less than one percent now. The move makes commercial sense, said Yasuaki Fukunaga, head of Aeon’s farming unit. “When products are sold directly to merchants ... farmers and producers can use the responses of consumers and build on that information,” Fukunaga said. Enlarging corporate involvement in agriculture is one of Abe’s goals, along with lifting farm income and increasing food exports. Government reform possible In June, the government is set to consider reforms intended to reduce barriers to winning local approvals for transfers of farmland, which would make it easier for entrants such as Aeon. “Against the backdrop of a decrease in the number of agricultural workers, an increase in their ages and with the amount of abandoned farmland increasing, whatever happens with TPP negotiations, it is extremely important to revitalize domestic farming,” agricultural minister, Yoshimasa Hayashi recently told parliament. In November, Abe’s government surprised many by announcing it would phase out a 40-year-old policy known as gentan, under which the government paid farmers, mostly individuals with small plots, to reduce rice output to protect prices. Industry observers say that many of Abe’s goals to make Japanese agriculture more competitive are not new and that ending the gentan program coincided with an increase in subsidies for a rice-to-feed program. However, some experts say the winds are changing. “With Japan’s big financial deficit, there is certainly thinking that down the road that subsidies could be lowered,” Hiroyuki Kawashima, an associate professor in the University of Tokyo’s global agriculture department, said about the rice-for-feed program. Against that backdrop, some of Japan’s small farmers are looking for a market niche rather than a govern-

ment subsidy as their best hope for the future. That includes Noboru Tsukahara, who has farms in northern Hokkaido and Ibararki, northeast of Tokyo. He believes he is the world’s only commercial provider of the purebred meishan breed of pork, which is con-

sidered a premium delicacy. When JA quoted Tsukahara a low price for his pork because it was classified outside of its grading system, he opted out to win distribution contracts on his own with high-end department stores such as those run by Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings and

Michelin-rated restaurants. “It is no longer the era of mass production and mass consumption,” he said. “With Japan’s population falling, it’s the reverse, so I feel unique products that are not found everywhere will be what appeal to consumers.”

GENETIC MODIFICATION | EUROPEAN REGULATIONS

Scientists urge changes to EU’s GMO policies British scientists release report | They argue that genetic modification regulations are best left to national governments L O N D O N , U. K . ( R e u t e r s ) — Europe’s stringent regulation of genetically modified crops has no rational basis, British scientific advisers have said in a recent report. They also said the regulations should be revamped to allow countries who want to opt out and grow GM food to do so. In an advisory report requested by the British government, the scientists said legislation on using GM crops within the European Union should be decided on a national level, as it is with pharmaceuticals.

“Technology for making crops healthier and more environmentally friendly is moving on fast, but the regulatory system needs to change to allow us to take advantage of this benefit sooner,” said Jonathan Jones, a GM expert at Britain’s Sainsbury Laboratory and one of the authors of the report. Many EU countries have populations who are hostile to growing GM crops. There is likely to be public opposition to the idea in Britain, too, with campaigners arguing that the long-term consequences of having

widespread GM agriculture are unknown. However, the vast majority of scientists argue genetic modification is just as safe as conventional crop breeding and can bring with it great benefits in terms of creating plants modified to resist disease, fight off pests and endure unstable or stressful weather conditions. In a letter to British prime minister David Cameron, the scientists said the EU “is currently hostile to growing GM crops,” but Britain “can still benefit significantly in developing

innovations that the rest of the world will still use” if it is able to argue for national control over GM decisions. No GM crops are now grown commercially in Britain, and only two — a pest-resistant corn and a potato with enhanced starch content — are licensed for cultivation in the EU. British GM crop experts say EU regulations add $16 to $33 million to the cost of developing a GM trait in a crop, which is prohibitive for the public sector and small and medium sized businesses. The first GM varieties were planted

15 years ago in North America, where there is far less opposition to GM crops, and no evidence has been documented of adverse health impacts for people eating GM food. The British scientists said they endorsed the view of the European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC), which has said there is no rational basis for the stringent process for approving GM crops. EASAC represents 29 scientific bodies across the region. David Baulcombe, chair of the U.K. report’s working group and head of plant sciences at the University of Cambridge, said most public concerns about GM crops have nothing to do with the technology, which he said is as safe as conventional breeding. “They are more often related to the way that the technology is applied and whether it is beneficial for smallscale farmers or for the environment,” he said. For that reason, EU regulations need to be adapted to focus on the crops’ traits, such as their pest-resistance or enhanced yield, rather than on the genetic modification method itself, the scientists argued. This is the approach taken in regulating pharmaceuticals. Regulators look at the effects that new drugs have on patients rather than on the technology that is used to develop them, which in many cases also involves genetic modification, the scientists said. Mark Walport, Cameron’s chief scientific adviser, praised the report and said he was sure the prime minister would welcome its advice. However, he acknowledged that it was likely to face public opposition and prompt argument within the EU. “There will be a discussion. We live in a plural society, and people are going to have strongly held views about this,” he said. “We have to have a clear and rational debate about the science itself.”

“They’ve staged a coup de coop.”

LIVESTOCK | DIET

Saskatchewan researchers explore canola seed as feed Analyzing meals and cakes | Nutrition research reveals yellow-seeded canola meal could be an effective alternative animal protein BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

University of Saskatchewan researchers are closer to understanding the value of yellow and brown canola seed as a livestock feed. A one-year study on the effects of processing on the nutritional value of canola meal and press cake found significant differences between yellow and brown-seeded canola meal and brown-seeded canola press cake. Katerina Theodoridou, a research fellow at the university’s animal and poultry science department, said the main difference is that brown-seeded canola press cake has high energy value, while canola meal, particularly the yellow-seeded kind, contains higher protein. “When you make a diet for an animal, you need to have a balance between energy and protein,” she said. “If you want more energy in the diet, you add press cake. If you miss protein, than you add canola meal.” Press cake is a term for the solids left

behind after pressing something to extract the liquid. Researchers inserted a small nylon bag into the rumens of three dry Holstein cows, which allowed canola meal or press cake to be incubated for 48 hours. What they found is that canola meal contains 35 to 44 percent crude protein and comes closest to meeting the nutritional profile of soybean meal, which is the industry standard. Canola meal also has a relatively high amount of fibre because it contains 30 percent of the hull. The researchers wrote in a recent article that yellow-seeded canola meal is higher in total digestible crude protein than brown meal and lower in total digestible fatty acid. Brown canola press cake has lower total digestible crude protein and higher total digestible fatty acid than does meal. The metabolic energy an animal uses for maintenance, pregnancy, weight gain and milk production is higher for brown canola meal than in

brown canola press cake or yellow canola meal. The U of S study found that yellow meal has higher crude protein and lower dietary fibre content than brown seed meal. Press cake retains higher oil content because it doesn’t go through a solvent extraction process, but it is lower in crude protein. The study also found that yellowseeded canola produced results similar to soybeans. Plant breeding selection programs are now targeting yellow-seeded varieties to improve the nutritional value of canola meal. Theodoridou said yellow-seeded canola meal could be used an alternative animal protein to replace the common yet more expensive soybean meal. “When you formulate, it’s always depending on value in the market at the moment,” she said. “If one of these feeds is very expensive in this period of time, maybe they’ll replace it with something cheaper, like canola. This is the potential, at least.”

Katerina Theodoridou has been studying the nutritional value of canola meal and press cake at the University of Saskatchewan. Her research has compared yellow and brown seeded canola meal with the brown-seeded canola press cake. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTO

its energies to a more urban approach to agriculture. It has moved away from cash crops and beef cattle and looks to earn its money on a farm-based amusement park and U-pick operation that focuses on urban families. “We made a big decision not to compete in commodity crop production as land rentals escalated and only the landowner was making any money and not the farmer,” said Alvin Brooks, who runs the farm with his wife, Brenda, and son and daughter-in-law Paul and Kelly. New varieties of day neutral strawberries and ever bearing raspberries extended the U-pick season in addition to asparagus, apples and other berry crops. “The Buy Local campaign has really helped us,” Alvin said. The Brooks farm is transformed for a large festival every September and October. One of the main attractions is a multiple firing pumpkin cannon, which can blast a pumpkin more than 90 metres into the air. As well, Brenda and Kelly have developed their own brand of pickles, preserves and cartoon character T-shirts, which they sell at farmers markets and the farm’s country store. More than 3,500 customers visited the farm last Thanksgiving weekend Saturday. Paul, who is now the driving force behind the operation, wanted to turn the farm into a year round destination point for urban families looking for a weekend outing. He hit upon the idea of turning the farm’s 100-yearold maple bush into a winter tourist attraction. Maple syrup would be their next venture and a way to diversify the operation. He and Alvin have built a modern tube line sap collection system with a new evaporator and sugar shanty for farm visitors.

They also present an educational tour of the operation, starting with a historical demonstration of how the early First Nations people boiled the sap in bowls made of bark. One of the stations features a demonstration of how early pioneers used three big cast iron kettles over an open fire to boil down the sap. It was transferred to the next kettle as the temperature increased and then moved to the finishing kettle for the final boil. It was time consuming and tricky to do without burning the final syrup. Kettles were eventually replaced by large flat tin pans about a metre wide and three metres long. The operation would be 24 hours a day, and a person would have to stay up all night to stoke the fires and watch the operation so the syrup didn’t burn in the final stages. “Traditionally, sap was collected in buckets through a spigot that was drilled into the maple tree. The sap would be collected by hand and carried to a large tank, which was pulled on a stone boat by a team of heavy horses. It was a very labour intensive operation,” Paul said. “We decided to put in a modern vacuum tube line system for our 550 maple trees.” Forty litres of sap are needed to make one litre of syrup. Sunny warm days above 0 C and cold frosty nights in early spring are needed to get a good sap run. The season lasts four to six weeks with 10 to 20 days of heavy sap flow. Each tap in a tree produces 40 litres of sap per season. “We want to make the visit to Brooks Farms a valuable experience, and we want the city folk to have a good time and buy our produce at a good price,” Paul said. Paul hopes to open a restaurant and a larger store with lots of cooler space.

LEGUMES | ROOT ROT

New seed treatment to tackle root rot in legumes Aphanomyces pathogen | The pathogen thrives in soggy soil and can decimate yields BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BASF is developing products that will help pea growers contend with a devastating new root rot disease. Aphanomyces was discovered in Saskatchewan fields in 2012 after growers complained of disappointing pea yields. Testing confirmed the disease was once again prevalent last year. There are no fungicides on the market to control it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are actually going to be launching a new seed treatment that contains pyraclostrobin and xenium, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very close to Priaxor, in hopefully 2016, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the diseases weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at,â&#x20AC;? Russell Trischuk, technical marketing specialist with BASF Canada, said during a recent Saskatoon stop on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Knowledge Harvest tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have got a few other projects on the go that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about for probably a year or two that may help with (aphanomyces).â&#x20AC;? That is music to the ears of Sabine Banniza, professor of plant pathology with the University of Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crop Development Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is some new chemistry by BASF, that would definitely be very nice because currently nothing works,â&#x20AC;? she said. Banniza and researchers from Saskatchewan Agriculture and Agriculture Canada collected and analyzed samples from pea and lentil growers complaining of significant root rot problems last year.

Pea seedlings were grown for 15 days in containers filled with soil from a pea field in northwestern Saskatchewan. The seedlings on the left were grown in moist, natural, non-sterilized soil, and caramel-brown discolouration of the roots indicate aphanomyces, which was later confirmed through microscopy and molecular tests. Pea seedlings on the right were grown in moist, sterilized, pathogen-free soil and have healthy creamcoloured roots. | UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN PHOTO They found various fusarium species in the roots and later confirmed the presence of aphanomyces. The disease has been found from northwestern Saskatchewan to Assiniboia to Yorkton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That suggests to us that the pathogen is probably most likely everywhere and probably has been there for many, many years,â&#x20AC;? said Banniza. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This aphanomyces pathogen specifically is a pathogen that really, really thrives in wet, soggy soils, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what we have had in the last three or four years.â&#x20AC;? Denis Gregoire, president of Gregoire Seed Farms Ltd., said the disease showed up in one of his green pea fields near North Battleford, Sask. He believes it thrives in heavy, black soil under high moisture conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this one particular field we had two inches of rain on one Sunday, and that did it,â&#x20AC;? said Gregoire.

Aphanomyces can have a devastating impact on yields. The high spots of Gregoireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infected field generated pea yields of 45 bushels per acre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got into this area and we were surprised we were even picking up 28 bu. an acre,â&#x20AC;? he said. The disease can attack peas, lentils and other legumes at any stage in the growth cycle. It can decimate yields if it hits before or during seed setting. Banniza said the only control option is to avoid planting legumes

for eight to 10 years on a field where the disease is suspected. Growers in southern Saskatchewan may get away with planting chickpeas because that crop has partial resistance to aphanomyces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been asked what happens if we have two years of drought,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. Maybe that sort of results in an implosion of the pathogen population and you can go back to that field earlier, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there

is any scientific data on that.â&#x20AC;? The CDC has a pure culture of aphanomyces that it will make available to seed testing labs in hopes they will develop a screening test for growers. Pea breeder Tom Warkentin will be using the culture to develop aphanomyces resistant lines of peas. Banniza said a large root rot research project led by Agriculture Canada received funding last summer, which should help develop better tools for combating the disease.

AQUADVANTAGE SALMON | FAST GROWING

U.S. still weighs safety of genetically altered fish WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is still considering whether a proposed genetically modified fish is safe for consumers. FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg says the agency is examining as many as 35,000 comments about the application for the salmon by Boston-based AquaBounty Technologies Inc., which applied for approval in the mid-1990s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be moving forward in a deliberate, science-driven way, reflecting all of the important inputs ... as we consider this product application,â&#x20AC;? Hamburg recently told the U.S. Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health, education, labour and pensions committee. AquaBounty has said in the past that it expected a decision from the FDA by the end of last year. Hamburg did not say when the FDA would make its final decision. The fish, known as the AquAdvantage salmon, would be the first GM animal product to reach U.S. consumers, if approved. The company has said its salmon is

safe to eat and could help address numerous food supply issues, including the demand for healthier food and depleted fish stocks, because it is modified to grow more quickly. However, environmental, health and consumer advocates have raised concerns, citing unknown long-term effects that a GM food could have on people and the planet. Republican senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska told Hamburg she wanted assurances that the agency would not allow the fish to be sold if it could not determine it was safe. She also said the fish should be clearly labelled if it is approved to show it is genetically modified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that the FDA has adequately studied the environmental effects, the economic impacts ... let alone the potential health impacts on humans,â&#x20AC;? said Murkowski, whose state is home to a significant fishing industry. Replied Hamburg: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we could guarantee that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t safe to eat, then it would not pass our approval standards.â&#x20AC;?

WET OR DRY. WORK IN THE MOST CHALLENGING CONDITIONS

RTS SERIES

Glenmor offers you Degelman Degelman designers are passionate about getting it right. Farm tools with the least amount of moving parts will simply last longer. Degelman is renowned for building overbuilt and under complicated equipment. Less is always more. A Pro-Till® cultivator has the unique ability to cultivate and warm the soil during cold wet conditions when all other forms of tillage plug and fail. In the midst of a long wet spring, getting seed in the ground to allow adequate time for the growing season is critical. Heavy cold soils need to be black and warm for ideal germination conditions. In as little as one day and after one pass, frigid heavy residue soil is cut, turned, mixed, reactivated, warmed, topically dried and ready for planting/seeding. Pro-Till® in the spring can mean the difference between success and failure. Call Glenmor today, or visit www.degelman.com

Glenmor welcomes Salford Glenmor proudly welcomes Salford Farm Machinery as their newest line of farm equipment. The Salford RTS series are high speed residue management tools that take on cool wet soils in spring to help accelerate soil warming and improve seed to soil contact. The RTS helps to alleviate compaction, and independently mounted coulters have almost no residue limitations. Salford also offers a full line of tillage tools and precision air seeding equipment. Experience the Salford Difference. Call Glenmor today, or visit www.salfordmachine.com Ontario, Canada • Osceola, Iowa • 1-866-442-1293

Through the expansion of maize cultivation in the past few years in particular, the plough has regained its importance as a primary cultivator. The reduction of plant diseases, mechanical pest control due to increasing chemical resistance, and the fight against new pests, are among the most important tasks facing a plough today. Recent research has shown that loosening and aerating the root zone, with a plough, can improve the formation of rape roots, for example, thus laying the foundation for high and guaranteed yields.

WHEAT | VARIETIES

AC Harvest top choice for wheat growers Canada Western Red Spring wheat | More than 1.5 million acres of AC Harvest were seeded in 2013 BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new wheat king has been crowned in Western Canada. According to provincial crop insurance data, AC Harvest was the most popular Canada Western Red Spring wheat variety last year. It was planted on more than 1.5 million acres, or 12 percent of total CWRS plantings. The Agriculture Canada variety was especially popular among Alberta growers, who planted more than 800,000 acres last spring. Saskatchewan production was 340,000 acres, while Manitoba farmers grew 360,000 acres. AC Harvest was followed closely by Carberry (1.2 million acres), Lillian (1.1 million acres) and Stettler (900,000 acres). Carberry was the most popular variety in Manitoba with 830,000 acres, while Unity was tops in Saskatchewan with 705,000 acres and Stettler was No. 1 in Alberta with 840,000 acres. AC Har vest was developed by wheat breeders at Agriculture Canada’s Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg. It produced slightly lower protein levels than the CWRS check, AC Barrie, but yields were two to four percent higher, based on information contained in last year’s provincial seed guides. The variety matures about a day earlier than Barrie and has very good resistance to sprouting. Carberry was developed by Agriculture Canada wheat breeders in Swift Current, Sask., and was registered for commercial production in September 2009. Certified seed was not available to commercial grain growers until 2012, but it has emerged as the most popular CWRS variety in Manitoba over the past two growing seasons. Ag Canada wheat breeder Richard Cuthbert said Carberry’s popularity in Manitoba is largely because of its high yield potential and strong

agronomic package. “I think producers are really attracted to the strong straw and the shorter plant type, and it’s also had very good threshability, so farmers have been able to cover a lot of acres quickly with it,” Cuthbert said. “It also lends well to intensive management systems, so you’re able to push the nutrients on Carberry and really push the yields quite a bit.” He said there were numerous reports last year about Carberry yields exceeding 80 bushels per acre. The variety also has a moderately resistant rating against fusarium head blight and protein levels only slightly below AC Barrie. Yields have been three to 12 percent higher than AC Barrie in Saskatchewan trials conducted over the past three years, depending on regional conditions. Protein was .1 percent lower than Barrie. Western Canadian farmers insured nearly 20 million acres of wheat in 2013. Of that, 12.9 million acres, or 65 percent, was CWRS. Amber durum was planted on 3.7 million acres, or 19 percent of insured wheat acres. Canada Prairie Spring and Canada Western Red Winter each accounted for one million acres, or five percent each. CPS acreage appears to be increasing in Western Canada. Based on data from CWB’s 2011 variety survey, 2.1 percent of Western Canada’s total wheat acreage was planted to Canada Prairie Spring Red varieties. Based on crop insurance data, CPS acreage accounted for five percent of Western Canada’s total wheat acreage last year, or 1.07 million acres. CWB estimated CWRS acreage at 73.5 percent of total western Canadian wheat acreage in 2011. In 2013, crop insurance data pegged CWRS plantings at 65 percent of total acreage, or 12.9 million acres. A complete list of insured varieties can be viewed on the Canadian Grain Commission’s website.

Carberry wheat continues to grow in popularity among Manitoba wheat growers. Since commercial seed became available in 2012, Carberry acreage in the province has grown to 832,00 acres. | FILE PHOTO

RURAL MANITOBA | NEW ROLES

Prairie Improvement Network changing focus Sustainability initiative | Organization that doled out ag research money may adopt water management mandate BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

An organization with the mandate to boost the economic fortunes of rural Manitoba will radically change at the end of March. The Prairie Improvement Network, formerly known as the Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council, administered the province’s portion of the federal Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program, which funded agricultural research projects. That program officially comes to a close March 31, but PIN isn’t closing up shop. Its directors plan to reinvent the organization and are eyeing water management as a possible opportunity. PIN is leading the Assiniboine River Basin initiative, an effort to bring together parties who have an interest in the sustainable management of the Qu’Appelle, Souris and Assiniboine river systems. The organization planned to host a workshop March 26 in Virden, Man., to find out if municipal representatives, conservation organizations, academics and agricultural groups from Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Manitoba are willing to work together on an inter-jurisdictional project. “What we’re asking at the workshop is very action orientated,” said Keystone Agricultural Producers vicepresident Dan Mazier, who sits on the planning committee for the Assiniboine River Basin project. “OK. What do you think of this kind of plan? Should we do this all apart ... or continue on together? If they say together, what will that look like? And who should lead the charge?” The Assiniboine River watershed includes most of the agricultural land in western Manitoba and much of southeastern Saskatchewan and northwestern North Dakota. PIN chair Terr y Fehr said the Assiniboine River Basin probably isn’t a familiar term in Saskatchewan. “They don’t think of it as being the Assiniboine. They think of it as the Qu’Appelle and the Souris,” Fehr told the organization’s annual general meeting in Portage la Prairie, Man., March 20. “(But) we’re making considerable effort to connect with people in both jurisdictions (North Dakota and Saskatchewan).” The concept of a basin-wide water management strategy may have traction in Saskatchewan and North Dakota because millions of acres of farmland were flooded within the region during the spring of 2011. Fehr said the public typically relies on government to provide answers on issues such as flooding and water quality, but provinces, states and municipalities often struggle with the complexities of water management. “There are issues that government can’t deal with, whether they want to admit it or not,” he said. “Some issues are just too hot, and I (think) water is one of them.” Given PIN’s well-connected board, leaders believe it could provide leadership on water and sustainable resource management on the Prairies. “Sustainability is sometimes an overused word these days, but no

question, that’s a spot where we want to be operating.… We’re sticking our toe in the water, so to speak,” said PIN director Allan Preston, who is also a former assistant deputy agriculture minister in Manitoba. “I’ve seen some changes to the landscape that have come about due to the intensification of agriculture that don’t sit well with me. Through this organization we’re not going to reverse some of those trends, but we’re going to keep people accountable to the fact that there is an environment and a social side to what

I’ve seen some changes to the landscape that have come about due to the intensification of agriculture that don’t sit well with me. ALLAN PRESTON PIN DIRECTOR

we’re doing on the landscape.” The Red River Basin Commission, which has existed in some form for three decades, has demonstrated it is possible for multiple jurisdictions to co-operate on water.

It comprises representatives from Manitoba, North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota, who collaborate to manage flooding, water quantity, water quality and stewardship across the watershed.

Lance Yohe, a former executive director of the commission, said the model isn’t perfect, but it is a voice that represents the entire watershed. People in Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Manitoba need to collaborate and take ownership of the issue if they want to maintain the Assiniboine, Souris and Qu’Appelle river watersheds for future generations, he added. “People within the basin have to find solutions,” Yohe said. “Nobody is going to solve the problems for you. (You) have to step up.”

DAIRY | FEED

High quality grains add to feed options Dairy rations | Producers should save highest quality feed for top producing animals BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — High quality forage is one key to better milk production in dairy cows. “With high quality forages, your cows will have the opportunity to reach their genetic potential relative to their milk production,” said Barry Robinson, head of Great Northern Livestock Consulting Ltd. in northern Alberta. Fewer supplements are needed in high quality forage, so that can be a cost saving, he said at the Western Dairy Seminar held in Red Deer March 11-14. Robinson recommended using the best quality feed for the highest producing animals. “Why feed it to heifers when you can feed a lower quality cereal silage or rained-on haylage,” he said. Energy is the most important nutrient for milk production. Protein

content can be supplemented, but energy cannot be replaced with other products if it is not present in forages. Corn silage is the highest energy forage in North America, but other feeds can also be offered. Grain is a good source of energy, especially if it is grown on the farm. “If you are purchasing grain from the neighbour, I guarantee you, you will be purchasing the lightweight barley,” he said. Barley kernels need to be broken into two or three pieces to release the energy. Oats are not typically used in a lactating ration. Wheat has three percent more energy than barley. However, it digests quickly so quantity should be limited in the ration. Corn is available in Western Canada, but it is never cheaper than barley. It can fit into certain formulations to improve milk production,

Corn silage ranks No. 1 in terms of high energy forages for dairy cattle, but barley, wheat and rolled canola can also be fed if rationed properly. | FILE PHOTO but producers should consider the price and consult a nutritionist. “In my experience, if you don’t feed two to three kilograms of corn, you are probably just fooling around,” Robinson said. Complete feed bought from a mill may include half a kilogram of corn per day. It provides colour in the feed but is not enough to make a nutri-

tional difference. Supplemental fat offers 2.25 times more energy than carbohydrates. Some mills in Western Canada offer canola oil, but it is difficult to feed. Rolled canola is an overlooked commodity, but canola meal is expensive at $400 per tonne. “This may be the best time to consider feeding rolled canola,” he said.

It can be introduced gradually until it reaches 1.2 kg per cow per day. Dairy protein comes in different forms, and nutritionists know how to work with them. Dairy rations were once formulated at a rate of 18 percent crude protein, but now they are closer to 16.5 to 17 percent. This saves 38 cents per cow per day.

RED DEER — Making silage is a complex biological process that requires the right combination of bacteria, pH balance and fermentation. Inoculants have been added for more than 50 years to curb spoilage and encourage better ensiling. Some studies show improved feed efficiency was achieved when inoculants were used, said Tim McAllister of Agriculture Canada’s Lethbridge Research Centre. “Do they always make money? No, they don’t,” he said at the Western Dairy Seminar in Red Deer March 11-14. The production of good quality silage requires bacteria in the inoculant to work with natural bacteria in forage. “When you start harvesting forage, you don’t know how many good microbes are there and how many bad microbes are there,” he said. “You need good microbes to grow, and not all grow equally in the silage pit.” It takes 40 days for a harvested crop to turn into silage and stabilize. The silage will keep for a long time and maintain its nutritional quality once it is covered to keep out oxygen. McAllister said there are four generations of inoculants. The early silage inoculants showed some improvement in lactic acid production, which lowers the pH balance and stops respiration of the harvested plants to conserve sugar, an important component of silage.

The lower pH environment also prevents the growth of bad bacteria, yeasts and moulds. However, silage sometimes spoiled faster once the pit was uncovered because it was exposed to oxygen. The next generation of inoculants contained heterolactic bacteria, which helped inhibit growth of yeast and moulds that contributed to deterioration. The third generation inoculants now on the market affect fibre digestibility. They provide an enzyme that breaks away the lignin so that the rumen micro-organisms can do their job during digestion. Cattle can derive more energy from the silage because of the effects of a third generation inoculant. They do not eat as much and may grow the same or better. The fourth generation adds microbes with probiotic properties. They have less impact on the ensiling process but may affect animal health by improving gut health and growth efficiency. New technology allows researchers to study the process more thoroughly. Molecular biology is unraveling some of the complexity of microbes involved in ensiling, and scientists can now determine if a bacteria or yeast that is added to the mix grows or dies. “Ten years ago it would have been impossible to do this kind of work because the technology did not exist,” McAllister said. It leads to further investigation into how rumen microbes change when animals move from forage to mixed forage to high grain diets.

DAIRY INDUSTRY | EXPORT FUTURE DEBATED

Dairy sector urged to embrace exports Supply management alternative | However, an academic says exports could increase even under supply management BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

TORONTO — Low-cost, grassbased milk production can fill only so much of the world’s future demand for dairy products. That leaves the door open to Canada. “We expect demand to increase and we expect prices to increase as demand outstrips supply,” Sarah Ireland, first secretary and head of the trade section with the New Zealand High Commission, told the Canadian Food Summit in Toronto March 18. “There is no way New Zealand can meet that demand and so there is an opportunity for other countries.” There is interest within the dairy industry to increase exports. The industry-supported Conference Board of Canada released a supply management report last week that calls for a radical shift to liberalized trade, which includes an orderly exit strategy for the marketing system. Less efficient farmers may leave the industry, but the report suggested that the overall industry could capture a greater share of the global market. Sylvain Charlebois, a marketing and consumer studies professor at the University of Guelph, said a better option is to maintain supply management for the domestic market while at the same time boosting production in targeted areas, including the export market. Dairy Farmers of Canada board member David Wiens said the organization is interested in export opportunities but only if they’re profitable for producers. “We can’t see the export market as an opportunity now. If the world price could hold at Canadian levels, that would open up opportunities,” he said. “What the Conference Board of Canada is suggesting is bad business advice.… It’s about moving our share of the consumer dollar downstream from the farming community.” The global trade in dairy products, mainly milk powder, butter and cheese, is relatively small compared to overall production. The conference board puts it at seven percent. Still, that’s an increase from previous levels and dairy exports are expected to rise. New Zealand accounts for much of the export trade. Ireland said the country’s 6.4 million dairy cows represent three percent of world production, but 96 percent of that is exported. New Zealand also has a reputation as the world’s low-cost milk producer. The conference board report said that’s no longer true and expects the country to eventually be weaned away from its pasture-based foundation. “New Zealand milk is now produced at the same cost as in North America. The New Zealand shire is running out of free grass.” Bruce Muirhead of the University of Waterloo said the conference board may have been selective with the data used for its analysis.

Muirhead, who has been investigating dairy marketing systems for the past four years, just returned from New Zealand. He said the cost of production there remains the lowest in the world. Wiens said there has been a shift away from a purely pasture-based system in New Zealand, but that is primarily taking place in the shorterseason South Island where the dairy industry is expanding. New Zealand and Australia’s dairy industries operate without government regulation or direct support.

The transition from a regulated industry in New Zealand was remarkably smooth after reform was introduced in the 1980s. However, Wiens said New Zealand’s farmer cooperative, Fonterra, which handles 95 percent of farm production, mimics government programming by restricting competition. Consumer milk prices in New Zealand are similar to those in North America, and Ireland said a national inquir y has been conducted in response to consumer complaints.

The conference board report didn’t deal with the impact of deregulation in Australia, but Muirhead said it’s been a disaster for farmers there. Wiens said dairy production is subsidized in most developed nations, including the United States and the European Union. He said it cost his family $3 million to build a new dairy barn for 200 milking cows, while a similar barn built in the Netherlands would receive $1.5 million in government support.

WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA We’ll insure your revenue, not your crop. 306-693-0255 I agrisksolutions.ca

Charlebois sees a need for supply management to continue in Canada but feels there may be an opportunity to pursue the export market at the same time. He recommended changing the milk pricing system so it’s based on the production costs of the top 25 percent of farms in terms of efficiency. That would give other producers the incentive to improve. He also recommended a second class of quota for new producers with a focus on new market opportunities, including exports.

Some insects worth protecting Promoting beneficial insects | Industry officials advise farmers to spray only when economically necessary BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

John Gavloski pointed at a grey caterpillar resting on a round, plastic dish the size of a drink coaster. The caterpillar was easy to notice. Harder to spot were the dozens of tiny, grey larvae, smaller than a flaxseed, that were emerging from the larger insect. Gavloski, an entomologist with Manitoba Agriculture, said the diminutive and wiggling larvae are an example of beneficial insects defeating a crop pest. “Right now, there are probably 150 little parasitic wasp larvae that have emerged from this one cabbage looper,” Gavloski said during CanoLAB, a Canola Council of Canada and Manitoba Canola Growers Association workshop held in Brandon in mid-March. A female wasp had laid an egg inside the cabbage looper, which is a caterpillar that feeds on vegetables and brassica crops. Once inside the

looper, the egg divided into more than 100 eggs. “Each one of these (larvae) will become an adult wasp and they will mate and lay eggs into other (pests),” Gavloski said. “(The wasps) can build up quickly and they can make a significant impact on our pest populations.” Other beneficial insects include damsel bugs, pirate bugs and hoverflies. Canola growers might not have to spray for pests such as lygus bugs and diamondback moths if these predators and parasitoids are left to grow. “(We) have to be careful that we’re not doing more harm than good when we use an insecticide,” Gavloski said. An insecticide will kill the predators and parasites that attack crop pests and permit pests to flourish in the future. “They (predators and parasitoids) are what’s keeping your pest from being a problem on a more regular basis,” Gavloski said.

“If they are doing a good job and you don’t have a crop pest at an economic threshold, you’re better off leaving things alone.” Greg Sekulic, a canola council agronomist in the Peace River region, said he’s been sharing a similar message with canola growers in Alberta. Beneficial insects weren’t part of the agronomic conversation when Sekulic graduated from university 15 years ago. Nowadays, growers are curious. “If I have 11 lygus bugs in my (sweep) but I also caught two lacewing larvae, do I subtract that from the total?” Sekulic said. “I’m really encouraged by the change in the conversation…. I feel like (the) message has been gaining traction over the last several years.” However, Sekulic said more education work needs to be done. “The biggest message I try to get out to growers in my region … is absolutely never spray a prophylactic application of an insecticide. Always

be over an economic threshold.” He said scientists have established economic population thresholds for canola pests such as lygus bugs and Bertha armyworms, but the thresholds for other pests are less distinct. “We aren’t quite that specific with a lot of our other pests.” However, a good rule of thumb is not to spray unless a pest insect is definitely a problem,. “What we absolutely do know is spraying below those points, there’s no economic return whatsoever,” he said. “It is literally a waste of money and does have negative implications for dozens of species: the spiders, the dozens of species of beetles … and the ones everyone is aware of, the ladybugs and lace-wings.” Paul Gregory, a farmer and beekeeper near Fisher Branch, Man., said reducing insecticide use is an excellent idea. He said research and anecdotal evidence indicates that pollinators boost canola yields.

“When you’re knocking off your pollinators, you’re decreasing your yield and your oil content,” said. Gregory, who also owns Interlake Forage Seeds. “We do see this on yield monitors: different local growers say the canola close to your bee yard has yielded better than half a mile away. You see that pollination gradient.” Gavloski has posted a fact sheet on the Manitoba Agriculture website with photos of beneficial insects that growers could use to identify beneficial insects. He said spraying might not be a good idea if farmers find a healthy population of beneficial insects in their fields. “Everyone knows what a ladybug looks like, but a lot of people don’t know what the juveniles look like for lady beetles,” Gavloski said. “They look like tiny black, alligator shaped things.” For more information, visit www. gov.mb.ca/agriculture/crops/ insects.

Odour stays below surface | Keeping slurry agitated is a blast BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — A Manitoba company opted for simplicity when it added a new line of manure boats to its sales catalogue. “They have the least number of moving parts. That means less downtime,” Paul Bell of Redland Triangle Welding & Machining in Boissevain said about Puck Enterprises’ agitation boats, for which it is the western Canadian distributor. “The wings are hinged so you can hydraulically pull them up for transport and washing. Very easy to clean.” The Cornell Cutter Pump he uses chops up the straw, weeds and anything else that gets pulled into the intake. It’s chewing all the while it’s agitating, so there’s less plugging.

Manure boats uniformly mix the nutrients in a liquid slurry lagoon so that the value of the product is maintained. Without agitation, every few gallons will have a different chemical analysis, making it difficult to use as a fertilizer. In the worst case scenario, the slurry will become difficult to pump out of the lagoon into tankers or through the dragline. Keeping the slurry turned is one of the more unpleasant jobs on a livestock farm. Puck boats are driven by a remote control module that covers starting, stopping, steering and opening and closing of the three gates. The outflow nozzles are used to agitate and steer the boat. “The operator can turn the guns off at the front or rear to back it up or go

forward. That way he can back it up to the lagoon loading ramp without causing any shoreline erosion,” Bell said. “For a concrete lagoon or lined lagoon, the owner builds a ladder. The boats have skids built in underneath so they can slide up and down to get in and out.” Some livestock operations use sand for bedding material, but the down side is that the sand eventually builds up and forms an island in the centre of the lagoon, which many boats cannot penetrate. “A lot of those big dairies in Wisconsin use sand. The Puck boats have been working very well on those islands. The operator drives up to the island and blasts away,” Bell said. “We’re pushing down with the power and forcing the particles up

into suspension in the slurry. So if you’re doing a pump-out, we just keep the boat running to keep everything in suspension. We control the aggressiveness with the engine r.p.m. We don’t get as much odour (as other boats) because we don’t shoot the slurry up into the air. We shoot down into the slurry to keep the agitation below the surface.” Bell said the agitation boat can be ordered with an optional Krohne

flow meter and MobileStar Control. Three models are being brought into Western Canada: the 185 horsepower boat sells for $71,000 US, the 375 h.p. boat sells for $126,000 and the 600 h.p. boat sells for $150,000.

MANURE MANAGEMENT | AGITATOR

Puck boat puts more profit in pocket BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

One 245 horsepower Puck Agitation Boat does the work of four tractors and four agitators, says a custom slurry applicator. It also does a better job cleaning out the lagoon. Ian Branson, who owns Branson’s TBHS in Brandon, said he used four tractors powering four agitators for the first 10 years that he was in the business. “Two years ago, we replaced all that machinery with this one agitation boat,” he said. Branson said the boat cost a little more than $100,000, which was a fraction of the money that was previously tied up in iron. The switch was a major boost to the company’s profit picture, he added. “That one boat does all the work now,” he said. “This was a huge saving in machinery investment and fuel. We run the boat all around the lagoon with the nozzles pointing down to the bottom, so it stirs things up far better than agitators on shore. It raises everything on the floor of the lagoon and holds it in suspension during pump-out.” The resulting product has better consistency and more uniformity, he said. “And the customer ends up with a cleaner lagoon, so all the space is available for the next batch.” Branson said he was always fighting with solids at the end of a pump out when he used the old shore agitator system. He knew the solution was to switch to a boat system, but he wanted to

check all the boats on the market before buying. His conclusion was that the others had too many hydraulic components. Branson’s TBHS handles the full range of liquid slurry services: agitation, pumping, transport and slurry application. It even puts its boat into above-ground lagoons. “There aren’t many above ground lagoons, but we can service them,

TOOLS | IMPACT WRENCH

Tire busting tool saves fingers, prevents injury BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Mounting and dismounting tires is an arduous and dangerous task. However, better tools can make a difference, says Justin Ochoa, coowner of Pneu-Tek Tire Tools. “Bad tools definitely increase the risk,” he said. “Well-designed tools make a difference when it comes to safety.” Ochoa and his father started designing tire tools 30 years ago. They have more than a dozen patents on tools routinely used in tire shops. They are best known for their Bead Seater, which they introduced three decades ago. The Impact Bead Breaker clamps firmly to the wheel with a wedge forcing itself into the bead and an anchor arm exactly opposite the wedge on the exposed side of the rim. One threaded bolt drives the wedge down while the other threaded bolt drives the anchor arm down. All it takes is a couple zips from the impact gun on each bolt to force the anchor and wedge down, and the bead slides loose. “The idea is to make your impact gun do more of the work for you,” he said.

The Pneu-Tek Impact Bead Breaker uses air, corded or cordless impact guns to bust the tire bead. | PHOTOS

“The operator simply guides the tool and squeezes the trigger. We feel our tire tools are safer because we very deliberately take the strain off the operator and put it on the tool.” He said safety is a top priority in designing tools. “If you’re fighting the tire, you’re opening up greater possibilities for an accident. If you’re fatigued and

sore, that increases the risk even more. We want the tool to do the work for you. Your job is simply to guide the tool.” The Impact Bead Breaker sells for $525 US, while the Impact Demounter sells for $625. For more information, contact Ochoa at 575-430-9628 or visit www. pneu-tek.unlimited.com.

SWATHERS | SLIPPAGE

Steel ribs improve friction, eliminate draper drive slippage Tungsten ribbed rollers eliminate swather slippage and double the belt life BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Swathing canola is a hassle when draper drive rollers slip because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wet or become coated with canola oil. MacDon thinks it has a solution. Conventional swather drives use a steel roller with a hard rubber layer vulcanized to the outer surface. They depend on friction to drive the belt. The problem with this system is that moisture and canola oil find their way into that critical point where the rubber roller meets the inner surface of the rubber draper. Ideally, friction should be 100 percent at this point, and it probably is when everything is new. However, MacDon developers saw slippage where the drive roller meets the belt. Then Kondex, a Wisconsin-based research and development organization specializing in agricultural parts, entered the scene. The challenge from MacDon was to develop a drive system for the draper belt that does not slip, regardless of circumstances or working conditions. As well, the design had to be simple so the entire swather didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be redesigned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traction between the rubber drive rollers and the rubber surface inside the belt was not perfect,â&#x20AC;? said Keith Johnson, head of engineering at Kondex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The slightest bit of micro slip creates heat, which actually polishes the two rubber surfaces. This contributes to poor performance in the field and ultimately deterioration of the belt and drive roller.â&#x20AC;? Engineers delved into the challenge of reducing or eliminating slippage between the roller and draper. They first determined that rubber rollers had too many inherent problems. Then they introduced a new concept ; using raised steel ribs welded to the outer circumference original roller. Kondex engineers reasoned that steel ribs would do a better job of driving the canvas than vulcanized rubber. After testing hard steel alloys, engineers determined that tungsten carbide ribs would give the result MacDon wanted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason we use tungsten is better wear resistance,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The abrasive soil conditions MacDon swathers work in will cause the more conventional alloys to wear faster. They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold up. We tested stainless steel along with a number of other materials, but none of them have the wear resistance of tungsten. They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anywhere near the acceptable level MacDon wanted.â&#x20AC;? Johnson said the roller is a mild steel, and the tungsten ribs are applied using a process called laser cladding. The technology is similar to spray welding but uses a laser beam to control the material being applied. He said the laser-clad rib material consists of tungsten carbide particles embedded in the matrix, which adheres to the host roller with a nearly indestructible metallurgical bond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The laser beam process is much

more precise. The other benefit is that bond between the tungsten rib and the steel roller is by far superior to any other process or coating weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried. And tungsten is very hard, so we know it will stand up.â&#x20AC;? The designers also addressed the issue of inside wear on the belt surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I admit we were a bit surprised when we saw the test results,â&#x20AC;? said

Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tungsten ribbed rollers actually doubled the life of the belts, so we ended up with far superior traction between the roller and the canvas, we eliminated micro slipping and we doubled the life expectancy of the belt.â&#x20AC;? The Kondex tungsten ribbed roller, and MacDon, received the AE50 award for engineering innovations last year. It is available only on D65 swathers.

Steady demand keeps bison at profitable price

Producer outlines details of bison rental agreement Like all contracts, everything should be in writing BY MARY MACARTHUR

Consumer cap | If prices exceed $4 per pound, demand tends to slide BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

PONOKA, Alta. — It’s the kind of illustration that the executive director of the Canadian Bison Association never gets tired of showing. Terry Kremeniuk said the graph that shows bison prices steadily increasing and now hovering around $4 a pound is just one more indication that the bison industry is in a healthy state. Bison prices have slowly increased since their all-time low in 2003, when borders were closed because of BSE. Prices reached $4 in 2011 and have stayed there for the last three years. Thomas Ackermann, chair of Bison Producers of Alberta, said the recent price stability indicates a balance between supply and demand. He said demand begins to slide when prices exceed $4 per lb. but booms when prices stay around $3.85 to $3.95 per lb. “If it gets too expensive we won’t be able to sell it,” Ackermann said at the group’s convention. “We’re seeing good times, but we

can’t push it too far.” The high demand for bison in the United States for feeding and slaughter is helping fuel high prices. “There is strong demand for animals in the U.S., and they are paying the prices,” he said. Exports to the U.S. increased to an estimated 16,200 head in 2013, up from 14,437 head in 2012 but down from its peak of 29,670 when Canada was dealing with a glut of bison after BSE. Slightly more than 45,600 bison were slaughtered at federally inspected packing plants in Canada and the U.S. in 2012 and slightly more than 48,600 last year. The slaughter numbers are down significantly from the high of 65,000 in 2008. Kremeniuk said he isn’t sure what the numbers mean, but he believes there is a trend to fewer bison being slaughtered and more animals kept in the herd. The national association doesn’t have a clear picture of the size of the country’s herd because it’s uncertain whether farmers were counting offspring when they reported cow num-

bers in the 2011 census. However, it is estimating the herd at about 150,000 head, which is down from its estimates of 200,000 in 2007. “We have no real good numbers of how many bison there are,” Kremeniuk said. The bison association plans to do its own bison census this year.

CAMROSE BUREAU

PONOKA , Alta. — Producers shouldn’t be afraid to look at the grain and cattle industries for creative ways to finance their entry into the bison business. It took some thinking, but Paul Kolesar said being creative helped him sell his cattle when prices were at rock bottom. It was the 1990s, and he had 120 cows he no longer wanted. Prices were low, but he didn’t want to give them away. Instead, he placed an advertisement in the paper to rent his cows. He received eight or 10 phone calls, including a serious one from a young man who wanted to start his own cattle herd. His father had lease land but wanted to retire, and the son wanted to get into the business without a huge cash outlay. “It was an oppor tunity that worked out for us both,” Kolesar told bison producers at their recent annual convention. A rental agreement was drafted, lawyers for both sides looked it over and the cattle were delivered to the new renter in the fall. The calves were branded with Kolesar’s brand when they were

born in the spring as a way to ensure payment was made. Kolesar said the devil is indeed in the details, whether producers are renting their animals, selling grain, custom feeding livestock or investing in the bison business. “Both parties have to understand the intention and expectations,” he said. Kolesar said the details need to be in writing, no matter what is agreed upon. He recommended keeping a simple set of notes that could be used to form a contract. Whatever the agreement, both sides need to stick to it, he said. “If you want to wreck a risk management technique, back out of your contracts.” He said the bison industry is not large, and word will spread quickly if a producer doesn’t honour his contracts. “Live by the deal, and go on to make another deal.”

Use of near infrared technology expands Feed optimization | Despite high cost, NIR machines can bring savings to livestock operators BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Greater use of near infrared technology could make the preparation of livestock rations more precise, say feed experts. Lowering feed costs was the primary focus of a March 14 workshop in Lethbridge, which explored the latest NIR research findings and how they could be applied at feedlots, backgrounding operations and cowcalf operations. NIR processes use the light reflective properties of organic components to determine fat, protein, starch and fibre content. It enables producers to mix rations best suited to animals’ needs. Before NIR, lab tests were required to calculate exact feed content. They were expensive and time consuming. NIR technology provides results within minutes, and experts say the machines, although expensive, can be a good investment. Agriculture Canada animal nutrition researcher Tim McAllister said about half a dozen feedlots in southern Alberta make use of NIR units, as do several feed consulting companies. “At this point, I would say that the usership of those units, from what we’ve seen, is probably less than optimal, and we think that that’s partly because people don’t realize the value of the technology and how it can actually save them quite a bit of money,” said McAllister. “Even though those machines … are not particularly cheap, when you’re looking at the volume of feed that’s being fed in many of those operations, and the accuracy of the machine to be able to estimate the energy value and protein value and subsequently the value of that feed as a whole, they can pay for themselves in a very short period of time.” Feed can vary greatly depending on location and growing conditions, which means animal rations can vary from day to day. It means animals might not receive the optimal ration for their growth, which makes it less economical for producers. “There’s probably some performance in the animal that we’re leaving on the table because we’re not feeding in that precise a manner,” McAllister said. Accurate NIR readings depend on the accuracy of calibrations, which have been verified through “wet” laboratory technology. The greater the number of calibrations, the bet-

McAllister said many calibrations in existing NIR services are based on American data. Canadian NIR researchers are working to develop Canadian calibrations to make the technology more useful and accurate here. “Over time, your calibrations get stronger and stronger because you are using samples that are derived from varying environmental conditions, so that’s what we need to do in Canada.” Mary Lou Swift, a feed research scientist with Alberta Agriculture who has worked with NIR technology for years, said she saw its potential while working for a British Columbia feed company. “We actually got to a point where we would take samples of the wheat on the way to the grinder every day, and if we needed to, we would reformulate the whole system on a daily basis to make sure that our customer had a constant protein going out in the feed,” she said. Many people thought she was crazy t o i nv e s t m o n e y i n N I R , Sw i f t recalled. “I take good pleasure in noticing every one of those people now own an NIR.” Swift said feedlots have been early adopters of NIR, and many took advantage of a grant program that provided up to $20,000 toward buying them. She initially expected feedlots to

use the machines only for barley, which is a primary ingredient in most feedlot rations. She was wrong. “They’re using it for these grain screening pellets, using it for distillers grains. The oil content in distillers grains is known to vary a great deal

now. It’s money in their pocket, and they realized that early and got on the bandwagon.” Feedlots and hog operations are becoming ever more precise in ration formulation because it provides optimal feed at the lowest cost.

Paolo Berzaghi, an NIR researcher and consultant with Unity Scientific, has been working on NIR in the feeding industry since the late 1990s. He told the workshop that on-farm feed analysis improves feeding consistency, which benefits animal health, the environment and profitability. “It’s a mature technology. It’s been around for a long time. It’s just the implementation is new,” said Berzaghi. The wet chemistry available from labs is accurate but not rapid, simple or cheap. It is also too slow to allow producers to change rations quickly to suit feed variability. NIR eliminates those challenges, he said. His research in European dairy herds showed that a feed control program using NIR was worth 27 cents per cow per day. However, Berzaghi said the technology is limited in its ability to analyze minerals in feed. Its strength lies in organic nutrients. As well, NIR is only as good as the calibrations in its database. A larger number of verified samples obviously provides more accurate results, and updates may be needed until the database contains most of the likely feed scenarios.

Pork producers told to cease use of blood plasma PED control | Extreme caution urged as officials examine possible links between feed and porcine epidemic diarrhea BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Hog producers should not feed blood plasma products until definite evidence proves there is no link between this high protein product and the spread of porcine epidemic diarrhea, veterinarians say. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency tested the product last month and could not verify a connection. However, some veterinarians are not convinced. “We all know the benefit of blood

plasma in starting little pigs under 21 days. It is high grade protein,” Alberta hog veterinarian Dr. Frank Marshall said during a PED conference call sponsored by Alberta Pork. “However, at this point in time we have totally lost confidence in this process.” Dr. Lucie Verdon, a veterinarian and national co-ordinator of the Canadian Swine Health Board, also advised caution. “Dispose of it and do not spread it on the fields,” she said. “Park it and don’t use it for now.

you have any in your bins, empty it.” Marshall said hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) processes in feed mills should deactivate viruses in most feed mixes, but not in

creep feed. “We know that this virus takes 60 C for 30 minutes to kill it,” he said. “In the softer pellet, the creep feed, they do not use the higher temperature.” The pelleting procedure for creep feed is to heat it to 75 C for a few seconds. The virus is likely still alive and potentially infective if it is deep inside the pellet. The virus should die if the feed sits at room temperature, but it will remain active if it is shipped frozen. Improperly rendered meat prod-

ucts in feed have potential to spread some diseases, and there could be a link because PED can be found in blood cells. The virus enters cells and the blood stream, which differentiates it from diseases such as transmissible gastroenteritis. Marshall said this connection should not be dismissed because even U.S. farms that had no physical contact with infected operations reported outbreaks. “To have this happen simultaneously in this industry independent of each other, the big common denominator is feed.” About 130 farms received complete feed containing blood plasma, and 17 farms were infected. “You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to connect the dots,” Marshall said. The CFIA said testing found PED in samples of plasma from the United States that were used by the thirdparty manufacturer for Grand Valley Fortifiers in Ontario. Testing with a swine bioassay determined that the ingredient contains PED virus capable of causing disease in pigs. The company recalled pelleted product. Scientists continue to look for a possible link. A Kansas State University study led by veterinarian Dr. Sureemas Nitikanchana wrote that further investigations are needed into possible transmission routes. “We continue to believe that while feed transmission is possible, the magnitude of the risk remains undemonstrated and in likelihood is less than other forms of transmission,” he wrote in the paper, which was released Feb. 25. “However, we acknowledge that multiple routes of PEDV transmission are occurring, and further information on feed risk and feed mitigation strategies are needed.” The study said there is almost no information on how to properly deactivate PED, especially in the conditions that are typically used for feed or feed ingredients manufacturing. The review also looked at biosecurity measures. Animal health officials continue to emphasize the need for more hygiene, truck washes with special detergent and a strict biosecurity plan. “This virus is being moved around through our errors in biosecurity around transport,” Marshall said. Added Verdon: “Biosecurity is pretty much the only way you are going to be able to get rid of it.” Washing and disinfecting trucks is not mandatory and costs $500 to $600 to do it properly. “When we are looking at a 500 sow unit losing $250,000 in a month, a wash isn’t that expensive,” Marshall said. Ontario had 35 farms with confirmed cases as of March 19. The virus was confirmed at one Manitoba farm and one Prince Edward Island farm Feb. 14. On Feb. 23 it was confirmed at one Quebec farm. The National Animal Health Laboratory Network reported 296 new cases in the U.S. as of March 17. It has also modified earlier totals. Twentyseven states have confirmed cases.

PROFUSION OF PUDDLES

VACCINATION | PROGRAM CHANGE

Many reasons for vaccine changes ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

New products on the market may provide broader range of protection

here are many difficult decisions to be made when changing the brand or manufacturer of a vaccine line. The first thing producers must do is determine what diseases they will be vaccinating against, whether they use a modified live, killed or combined program and how effective they think their program was originally. This will help them and their herd veterinarian determine where to come in with different products. Of course, this is based on the assumption that the previous vaccines were bought, stored, handled and administered properly and timely to all necessary cattle in the herd. There are several reasons why a herd health veterinarian may decide to change lines, and only one of them might be the product’s effectiveness. Other reasons are availability, cost, dosage formulation, number of doses per bottle and the service provided by the pharmaceutical company. I have known clinics that changed trade names simply because of the route of administration. If two vaccines are equal, the one that is approved to be given subcutaneously may be a more desirable route and supports Beef Quality Assurance. Newer products sometimes protect against a broader range of bacteria or viruses, which makes them more desirable. Vaccines that provide greater protection in fewer shots may also be more desirable. More shots simply mean more labour and stress on the calves. The intranasal route eliminates the needle but may have a shorter duration. These are all important decisions. It’s important for producers to read the fine print so that they know which vaccines do what. Most pharmaceutical companies have pretty good spread sheets that indicate which vaccines protect against which diseases. It is important to pay close attention to this because vaccines can offer similar protection and yet one organism may be missing. This is where it best to consult with a veterinarian in case there are differences in coverage. The next decision is whether producers can continue boosting the same way they have in the past. Just because they have changed vaccines does not necessarily mean they need to start a vaccine program all over again. In fact, the opposite is the case. Vaccines stimulate the body to produce antibodies or protection against a specific disease. Adding a different vaccine should booster the previous vaccine response, as long as

immunity exists and the diseases are the same in the new vaccine. Boostering with a comparable product should work as long as the previous vaccination program has worked well and producers trust the protection that it is giving them. Label directions must be followed. It might be necessary to start over if new stock has been acquired that has a questionable vaccination history or if a year has been missed, which means that is now two years between vaccinations. Other reasons for starting over include missed vaccinations because animals escaped from the chute, dosage that wasn’t calculated or automatic syringes that didn’t

work properly. It is likely that an additional organism (virus or bacteria) will need to be boostered the first time if it has been added into the program. The bottom line is that the new vaccine should provide proper protection if the previous one gave protection and all the antigens (organisms) are the same. Boostering may be needed if new protection has been added, but these are all good questions to ask a veterinarian so that gaps are not created in the new vaccination program. Roy Lewis works as a technical services veterinarian part time with Merck Animal Health in Alberta.

A Saskatoon company is attempting to breathe life back into a mothballed canola crushing plant north of the city. Virtex Farm Foods is proposing to reopen the crushing plant previously owned by BioExx Specialty Proteins, an Ontario company that extracted soluble protein from canola seed. BioExx closed the plant last April and was granted creditor protection later in the year. The BioExx plant has since been sold to a numbered company, 5085732 Alberta Ltd. Virtex Farm Foods has been leasing the facility from its new Alberta owner since November and is hoping to use it to run a farmer-directed canola crushing business that produces non-genetically modified oil from Clearfield canola varieties. “The non GMO canola oil market is … doing fairly well and it’s got a tremendous upside potential,” said Rick Pender, president of Virtex Grain Exchange, a group marketing venture. “The non-GMO versus GMO labelling issue that’s going on in the United States right now is raising a lot of consumer awareness.” Pender, who devised the plan to resurrect the plant, said Virtex is selling quota in the crushing facility in 40-tonne blocks. A one-time investment of $2,000 buys a farmer the right to deliver 40 tonnes of Clearfield canola per year. Producers will be paid at the point of delivery and prices will be based on nearby canola futures at ICE Futures Canada, zero basis. “What farmers buy … is quota,” Pender said. “Right now, it’s $50 a tonne and we’re selling it in 40 tonne truck load lots, so basically a Super B. They buy that once and then they have the right to (deliver that amount of canola) every year.” Growers who buy into the operation will also share in the company’s

VIRTEX FARM FOODS HOPES TO GET

$1.5 million IN FARMER EQUITY annual profits, with 50 percent of annual net income divided equally among farmer investors. Pender said crush capacity at the plant is estimated at 30,000 to 35,000 tonnes annually. The company has already sold most of the available quota, much of it last summer to farmers who are

part of Virtex Grain Exchange. Farmer equity in the venture will be $1.5 million if Virtex Farm Foods sells 30,000 tonnes of quota, which is enough to run the plant at full capacity. Virtex’s lease agreement contains a lease-to-own provision that would allow it to buy the plant outright from the current Alberta owner. The BioExx plant was built in 2009 and was scheduled for expansion in 2010. It extracted protein from canola to make human-grade food and nutrition products. BioExx secured a $2.95 million repayable loan from the federal government’s Agri-Opportunities Program in late 2009, three years before

it was granted creditor protection. The money was to be used to expand the plant’s crushing capacity. Pender was involved in a venture a few years ago that proposed building a $200 million debranning plant near Rosthern, Sask., 65 kilometres north of Saskatoon. Promoters of that project said the $200 million plant would produce bran for health bars and 140 to 180 million litres of ethanol per year, using material left over from the debranning process. The Rosthern project never got off the ground. Pender said the deal fell through in 2008 when the Ontario company behind the venture failed to secure financing.

MACHINERY | SALES OUTLOOK

Grain price dip expected to hurt new farm equipment sales BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

This will not be a record year for tractor and combine sales in North America. Industry representatives say the downturn in commodity prices, the grain transportation logjam in West-

ern Canada and overall reductions in farm income will prompt farmers to fix older equipment instead of spending $450,000 on a new tractor. “For 2014, based on all the conditions we’re talking about, we’re looking at a fairly flat agriculture market,” said David Ascott, chief financial officer for Rocky Mountain Equip-

ment, a chain of agriculture and construction equipment dealerships in Western Canada. U.S. and Canadian ag dealers might be fortunate if sales are flat because manufacturers such as John Deere expect North American sales to drop significantly. “In Deere’s view, the decline (in

farm income) will have a dampening effect on demand, especially for larger models of equipment,” Deere said in its February financial report. “Partly as a result of these factors, industr y sales for agricultural machinery in the U.S. and Canada are forecast to be down five to 10 percent for the year, with the decline

mainly reflecting lower sales of high-horsepower tractors and combines.” Ascott said sales may drop more in the United States than in Canada because of changes to U.S. tax provisions. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

ECONOMIC LOSS | PROVIDING PROOF

Claiming economic loss requires resolve MANAGING THE FARM

While demand for new equipment may decline this year, used equipment may pick up and parts and service departments could be busy. | FILE PHOTO “They had a tax benefit allowing a writeoff of 100 percent in the year of purchase,” he said. “We think that pulled a lot of demand … from 2014 to 2013.” The U.S. government increased the amount that farmers and other businesses could immediately write off against taxation as a way to stimulate the economy following the recession that began in 2008. The regulation allowed farmers to deduct the full purchase price of combines, tractors and other equipment, up to a limit of $500,000, in the year of purchase. Grant Griffiths, an agricultural business adviser with MNP, said Canadian farmers can write off 15 percent of a tractor’s value in the first year of purchase and 30 percent in subsequent years. For equipment that is pulled, such as air seeders, 10 percent can be written off in the first year and 20 percent in following years. The U.S. provision expired Dec. 31, and the limit returned to the previous deduction maximum of $25,000. Industry watchers expect American farmers to hold off on tractor and combine purchases until the U.S. Congress boosts the deduction limit.

Equipment manufacturers have already responded to the decline in demand. “The two large ones, Case and Deere, have already indicated that they’re going to produce less equipment in 2014 as part of that balancing act,” Ascott said. Demand for high horsepower tractors and combines may be weak, but farmers remain keen on high clearance sprayers. “Sprayers are in high demand. That would be the one exception that stands out,” Ascott said. “The technological advances in sprayers … I think is driving some of the larger farmers. They want the efficiencies of the newer sprayers.” Fewer farmers might be kicking tires at Rocky Mountain dealers, but service departments have been busy. “That’s one of the good parts of our business, if there is a downturn in whole goods we usually see parts and service get a little bit of a lift,” said Ascott, who remains hopeful that sales will pick up. “The word on the street is that our branches are starting to get busier…. We remain optimistic for the first half of the year.”

hat happens when the seeds you plant don’t germinate, the chemicals you apply kill your crop, or worse, you’re injured and can’t operate your farm? Assuming you can prove cause, effect and liability, you will eventually want to claim your loss. Economic loss, as it is known, represents lost profit rather than just lost production. Cost savings and increases may follow the loss, which must be taken into account. As well, evidence must be provided to support your claim. There are many pitfalls on this path: • Consult with experts as soon as possible. Saving a little money early on may cost you hundreds of thousands later. The purpose of compensation is to restore you to where you would have been had the loss not occurred. Facts trump everything when calculating this, and documented facts specific to your situation are much stronger than industry data or unsubstantiated statements. • Hope for the best but plan for the

worst. You hope to settle quickly, fairly and without cost. That is the ideal, but it is best to take basic precautions from the start so that you’re protected if things go sideways. Start immediately. Experts frequently have to deal with situations where the losses happened months or years ago with no records. Start to document the loss as soon as it is evident. Make records of the loss, including photographs and sample analyses. Don’t be afraid to hire experts early to document cause, effect and loss. The costs of hiring the experts should form part of your claim. Establish a base line for comparison. For example, compare the damaged area to unaffected crops on your farm. Aim to prove everything you claim. Expect that your word will not suffice, however just your case. An expert on economic loss can help if you are not sure what to document or how to do so. If you are going to rely on their report or testimony later, here is where you set them up for success for a relatively small investment at the start. It will take longer than you think to settle, maybe even years. The “other side” has reason to delay an already slow process, hoping exhaustion might make you settle for less.

position on what you lost. Know the weak spots in your claim. Expect to consider offers. This means you will have to weigh options against the costs of carrying on and the uncertainty of what could happen in court if it comes to that. Your experts are not your advocates. Their duty is to advise the court. They should be qualified, professional and impartial. The easiest way for a lawyer to dismiss an expert’s testimony is to discredit them for not being one of those things. It doesn’t matter how good the re-port is or how much it cost if the testimony is discredited, so don’t expect your expert to bend the facts to suit your case. You have a duty to mitigate, which means you need to be able to demonstrate that you took reasonable steps to minimize the claim. Your expert, if involved early, can advise on this. Look at the situation from the other side’s point of view. A good expert should be able to see the weaknesses in your case and advise on how you can strengthen your position. The most obvious areas of loss are not always the biggest. A good economic loss expert will know the other places to look.
