Spotlight falls on forgotten crop Rye has arrived | Crop is first successful hybrid cereal to be registered in Canada BY BARB GLEN LET BRIDGE BUREAU

Rye is a rock star in cereal circles. It’s the first hybrid cereal registered for commercial release in Canada, in a crop breeding world where much attention is being paid to hybrid wheat and other cereal development. Pe d i g re e d s e e d p ro d u c e r F P Genetics of Regina is the first to bring a hybrid cereal into its lineup. Brasetto rye was developed in Germany and approved for interim registration in Canada in February. “It is a big deal, for a number of reasons,” said Agriculture Canada cereals researcher Jamie Larsen. “People have been talking about hybrid cereals for a long time, hybrid wheat and barley and stuff, and rye is

really the first example of a hybrid cereal that is successful.” Ron Weik, seed portfolio manager for FP Genetics, said increased yield is a primary attribute of Brasetto. “It will get about a 25 percent higher yield or maybe better than the best current yielding open pollinated rye variety,” he said. The hybrid is also shorter, which means less straw to manage, and has uniform growth and maturity for ease of harvest management. Larsen said hybrid rye heads out in a shorter time frame, and its height is more uniform. Some varieties of open-pollinated r ye grow tall, increasing potential for shatter when swathed. “In comparing hybrids to open pollinated, there’s definitely some

advantages. Basically, it comes down to genetics. The hybrids are pure. It’s line A by line B. Genetically they’re quite pure, but the open pollinateds are much more variable.” Weik said an additional attribute is a higher falling number than existing rye varieties, which means the main target market will be milling and human consumption rather than feed. Rye was once a more popular crop in Canada. Farmers produced nearly one million tonnes in the early 1980s, but fewer than 400,000 tonnes have been produced annually in the last 10 years. Weik estimates that 200,000 to 250,000 acres of r ye are grown annually in Western Canada now, mostly north of Medicine Hat, Alta., north of Swift Current, Sask., and

parts of Manitoba. He attributes this to lack of interest in genetic improvement, at least until recently. Higher prices for other cereals also shifted focus away from the fall-seeded crop. However, rye prices have improved of late, trading at $4.75 to $5.25 per bushel f.o.b. the farmgate and are competitive with winter wheat. The crop’s other attributes have also renewed interest in rye breeding: in open pollinated varieties as well as hybrids. Larsen’s work on open pollinated rye is funded by the Saskatchewan Winter Cereals Development Commission, which he said seeks several improvements. SEE RYE HAS ARRIVED, PAGE 2

Rye has arrived Among them is a higher falling number of at least 180 seconds, and Larsen said he thinks that is achievable, particularly because Germanbred rye varieties have already achieved that minimum. As well, Larsen and the commission are seeking open pollinated varieties with less height than Prima o r Mu s k e t e e r b u t w i t h o u t t h e reduced yield seen in existing shorter varieties such as AC Rifle, AC Remington and Hazlet. “The idea is to produce (varieties) that are Hazlet’s height or shorter, which gets kind of closer to where the hybrids are, and then I think we would be in business,” Larsen said. “There’d be a lot of producers that would be quite interested in this.” Shor ter var ieties would also address problems with straw volume at harvest. Rye is often criticized for its allopathic property, which is an ability to suppress other growth. Larsen said there is another way to look at that. “My view is that it’s something you should embrace as a producer.” He said rye was popular in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s because of its ability to suppress weed growth in a time before effective herbicides were available.

As a fall-seeded crop, it releases compounds that inhibit weed seed germination. After harvest, rye straw sitting on the surface will also inhibit growth, but only for two to three weeks, Larsen said. “People make it out to be the bogeyman, and I don’t think it’s really that at all.” Following rye with a large-seeded crop, such as soybeans, eliminates the allopathic issue. An extended rotation also addresses issues with rye volunteers. “Volunteers can be an issue. I would strongly urge you to follow a good rotation. And a good rotation is not cereal on top of cereal. If you can move to a pulse, and then canola or something like that in a more lengthy rotation, you can control it quite easily.” Rye is also susceptible to ergot, and research is underway to find more resistant varieties.

CWB issues payment adjustments for 2011-12 pools BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian wheat farmers received an unexpected bonus this spring from an unexpected source: the Canadian Wheat Board. Farmers who marketed wheat and durum in the CWB’s 2011-12 pool programs received cheques last month for grain that was planted nearly three years ago and sold before July 31, 2012. The payments — 86 cents per tonne on spring wheat and $3.61 per tonne on durum — were required to reconcile pool accounts after it was determined that the CWB cost estimates that were used to calculate producer returns were too high. After determining their actual costs, CWB issued a final payment adjustment that amounted to an additional .3 percent for wheat and 1.5 percent for durum. Payment adjustments were issued beginning last month. CWB said in an email that settlement of the 2011-12 pool accounts could not be completed until the

accounts were finalized and audited. For some producers, that meant they were still receiving cheques for grain they had delivered nearly 33 months earlier. “Farmers received a 2011-12 final payment in February 2013, but during the final reconciliation of the pools that followed in the spring of 2013, it was found that accruals (costs that CWB had to estimate before they were incurred) were too high in respect to both the wheat and durum pools,” the CWB email said. “As a result, CWB was able to pay farmers an extra .3 percent (86 cents per tonne) on wheat and 1.5 percent ($3.61 per tonne) on durum.” CWB said efforts to reconcile the accounts began as soon as the accounts were finalized and audited. Final payment adjustments were calculated for each eligible farmer and verified by auditors, it added. The final payment adjustment was then sent to Ottawa for government approval in the latter half of 2013. Approval was eventually received and cheques were mailed in May.

STRIPED FLEA BEETLES MORE TOLERANT OF NEONICOTINOIDS: Bob Elliott, an integrated pest management specialist with Agriculture Canada in Saskatoon, has tested the efficacy of neonicotinoid seed treatments on striped and crucifer flea beetles. Elliott and his colleagues tested Gaucho CS FL, Prosper FX, Helix and Helix XTra. After 72 hours of exposure at 20 C, the mortality of crucifer flea beetles from neonicotinoid seed treatments was 31 to 85 percent in dry soil and 22 to 50 percent in wet soil. Under the same conditions, the neonics killed five to 11 percent of the striped flea beetles in dry soil. In wet soil, the mortality of striped flea beetles was three to 11 percent. The mortality in experimental checks (seed without neonics) averaged less than four percent for crucifers and less than three percent for striped.

Canola growers fear rise of resistant beetle Striped flea beetle | North Dakota growers are concerned about the insect, which shows neonicotinoid resistance BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Neonicotinoids may be causing an insect population shift in North Dakota, says an entomologist. Producers in the state’s primary canola growing regions are reporting high numbers of striped flea beetles this spring, said Janet Knodel, an extension entomologist with North Dakota State University. The reports are curious because crucifer flea beetles have long been the dominant pest in North Dakota canola fields. “This is the first year I’ve received reports of lots of striped flea beetles,” Knodel said, adding the information is coming from north-central and northeastern North Dakota.

Knodel said the species shift worries canola growers because research has demonstrated that striped flea beetles are more resistant to neonicotinoid seed treatments than crucifers. “This (population shift) is a result of one species being more tolerant to an insecticide,” she said. “This is kind of an unusual situation … because of the insecticide causing the shift.” Julie Soroka, an Agriculture Canada entomologist in Saskatoon, said the North Dakota reports aren’t shocking because striped flea beetles are becoming more populous in nearly all regions of Western Canada. Crucifer flea beetles were the primary species in prairie canola fields 10 years ago with the exception of the

Peace River region in Alberta and the northern parkland areas, where striped flea beetles are more common. Prairie field surveys conducted between 2007 and 2011 found that striped flea beetles have moved south, pushing aside crucifers. Soroka and Bob Elliott, also of Agriculture Canada, have monitored flea beetles in canola fields at the Saskatoon research centre since 2003. Crucifer was the dominant species between 2003 and 2009, comprising 97 percent of the population at the centre. “Since 2009 … we’ve seen quite a shift in the composition of that population,” Elliott said. “In 2011, for example, the frequency of striped flea beetles jumped

from less than one percent to 62 percent of the population … in the early seeded (canola).” In later seeded canola, striped flea beetles increased from one percent to 36 percent in the Saskatoon fields. Soroka said neonicotinoid seed treatments are allowing striped flea beetles to take over new geography. “It is not unreasonable to suppose that neonicotinoids have caused the species shift that we see in prairie canola,” she said in an email. Soroka said climate change could also be benefiting striped flea beetles. The species may be able to survive in a wider range of conditions, than crucifers. “However, climatic factors are difficult to correlate with the flea beetle

species shift, and might not occur simultaneously over a large area,” she said. Manitoba Agriculture entomologist John Gavloski isn’t convinced a flea beetle species shift is occurring on the Prairies or in North Dakota. He said striped flea beetles appear earlier in the spring and crucifers dominate in June, which means the timing of seeding will influence the type of beetle detected on canola seedlings. Knodel said she will need to conduct a more systematic survey to determine if stripes are now the principal flea beetle in the state.

GM wheat development gathering industry support BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian farm and milling groups are supporting the commercialization of genetically modified wheat at a time when field testing of the product has resumed in Canada. Monsanto Canada and Bayer CropScience Canada are running confined research field trials of GM wheat this year, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Monsanto is operating five trial sites in Manitoba, testing lines for yield increase and herbicide tolerance. Bayer has one trial site in Alberta and two in Saskatchewan. It is testing lines for herbicide tolerance, stress tolerance, selectable markers, genetic research and modified carbohydrate content.

Monsanto had previously attempted to commercialize Roundup Ready wheat but announced in 2004 that it was shutting down the program because of a lack of industry support. This time around, farm groups and millers are vocal in their support of the technology. Sixteen organizations in Canada, the United States and Australia have issued a joint statement of support for the future commercialization of GM wheat. It sets out a number of conditions required for the launch, including synchronized introduction in all three exporting countries, co-existence with non-GM wheat and the adoption of low level presence policies in importing countries. The document updates an agree-

ment that was signed five years ago by nine organizations in the same three countries. The Canadian signatories are Grain Farmers of Ontario, Grain Growers of Canada, the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, Cereals Canada and the Canadian National Millers Association (CNMA). Cam Dahl, president of Cereals Canada, said the document encourages investment in wheat research, which has been sorely lacking. Growers have seen the value of biotechnology in products such as cotton, corn, soybean and canola, and they want the same for wheat. “It’s laying out the pathway forward that will allow that investment to happen, and that really is the purpose,” he said. The CNMA, one of the new signato-

GORDON HARRISON CANADIAN NATIONAL MILLERS ASSOCIATION

ries, said it signed the document partly because commercialization of GM wheat is more of a reality than it was five years ago, even though according to the statement it is still “up to a decade” away from appearing in farmers’ fields. “CNMA has made every effort to support policy and regulation that is science based and recognize that

Canadian producers need access to new technology at the same time as those in other countries,” association president Gordon Harrison said in an email. The association feels biotechnology could help resolve longstanding quality problems caused by fusarium and ochratoxin A. Lucy Sharratt, co-ordinator of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, said the last time farm groups signed such a document in 2009, it was met with an angry response by 233 civil society groups in 26 countries opposed to the commercialization of GM wheat. “The global market rejected Roundup Ready wheat, and in 2009 over 200 groups in 26 countries reiterated that position, and it would be the same today,” she said.

ANIMAL WELFARE | ABUSE

Dairy sets up cameras in wake of abuse Chilliwack Cattle Sales apologetic | Mercy for Animals Canada wants video to air live on the internet BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Video cameras were installed at Canada’s largest dairy last week after an undercover video revealed cows being beaten and abused by milking parlour workers. Eight employees of Chilliwack Cattle Sales were fired days after Mercy for Animals Canada released video footage taken at the farm during the month of May. Now the dairy operation has installed cameras in each of its six or seven barns. Jeremy Whittingstall, a spokesperson for farm co-owner Jeff Kooyman, said the video may be streamed to the internet, but he did not have further details as of June 13. Chilliwack Cattle Sales is Canada’s largest dairy, with 3,500 cows and 30 employees, in addition to seven Kooymans and various family members. Video evidence of dairy cow abuse, which included beatings with chains and rakes, punching udders and mechanically hoisting animals by the neck, sent shock waves through the dairy industry. Dairy Farmers of Canada president Wally Smith said he was “upset, disgusted and devastated” by the news, adding that treatment of the kind shown in the video was intolerable and an anomaly in the industry. Speaking on behalf of Kooyman, Whittingstall said he and the rest of the family are devastated by the discovery of abuse in their operation. “I really want to stress just how much the family is completely apologetic for what happened,” said Whittingstall. “This is not indicative of the industry. This is a very bad thing that happened on our farm but it’s not something that speaks to the industry as a whole. We’re going to do everything we can to make it right.” After release of the video, Mercy for Animals Canada organized a petition asking people to boycott Saputo, which receives milk produced at Chilliwack Cattle Sales. The petition also demanded that Saputo “adopt meaningful animal welfare policies

Saputo announced June 16 that it has stopped taking milk from Chilliwack Cattle Sales and is calling for consequences for those involved. It also called for legal measures to prevent future animal abuses. The B.C. Milk Marketing Board announced plans June 13 to stop collecting milk at the dairy farm until welfare concerns were addressed, but milk was being accepted at the start of this week.

The board said in a news release that it continued to monitor the ongoing SPCA investigation at the farm and had consulted veterinarians about compliance with the code of practice for care and handling of dairy cattle. Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the British Columbia SPCA, said an investigation remains open. “Our first priority was to ensure that the direct intentional abuse was halted so that was the focus with respect to the eight on-farm individ-

uals who had been identified,” she said June 12. “The second priority is of course to deal with any urgent immediate animal welfare issues on farm. I can say orders were issued with respect to issues on site. The third is with respect to any charges.” Though the SCPA has recommended charges against the employees, Moriarty said she didn’t yet know if any would be laid against the dairy farm owners. Whittingstall said some of the eight fired employees are minors, which is

complicating the laying of charges. He said the workers comprised one night shift at the dairy barn. Krista Osborne, director of operations for Mercy for Animals Canada, said the person who took the video informed Kooyman that abuse was occurring. “He was aware. Our investigator spoke to him and informed him of this behaviour.” However, Whittingstall said Kooyman was not aware of the abuse. The supervisor of the shift in question was one of the people fired.

Research initiative tackles wheat rust, fusarium head blight BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An international research project involving scientists in Canada and Mexico is hoping to reduce financial losses in durum caused by two common diseases : wheat r ust and fusarium head blight. The Canadian Wheat Alliance (CWA) and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in Mexico will collaborate on the project, which involves scientists at CIMMYT, Canada’s National Research Council, Agriculture Canada and the University of Saskatchewan. The five-year project will receive

financial support of $1.5 million from the Saskatchewan government. The funding will come from a $5 million pool of money that the province had previously committed to support Canadian Wheat Alliance programs. The end goal of the CIMMYT project, according to CWA spokesperson Faouzi Bekkaoui, is to increase durum’s resistance to rust and fusarium and develop new durum varieties for growers. “We know the importance of these two diseases and how much impact they have on yield and on income for farmers and the Canadian economy,” Bekkaoui said. The CWA is a multi-year wheat

research initiative that involves scientists at key research institutions in Canada. The initiative seeks to marry the expertise and resources of Canada’s most accomplished research institutions with financial investments and resources from outside organizations, including private industry. CWA’s partnership with CIMMYT will allow Canadian wheat and durum researchers to work with international scientists who have a wealth of experience in breeding, plant genetics and the development of new breeding tools. “They (CIMMYT) are one of the largest, if not the biggest breeding institution in the world, so they have

tremendous expertise in … wheat breeding and they have the largest collection of wheat germplasm in the world,” Bekkaoui said. CWA identified the project as a strategic collaboration that could benefit durum growers while strengthening the relationship between Canadian wheat researchers and CIMMYT, he added. “It’s something that is … going to solidify the interaction between Canada and CIMMYT.” Although CWA’s initial research mandate was focused primarily on spring wheat rather than durum, the CIMMYT project was viewed as a good fit for the alliance’s broader research goals. It will identify genetic resources that can be used to im-

prove disease resistance in Canadian durum varieties, Bekkaoui said. According to the NRC, fusarium head blight has cost Canadian wheat producers more than $1.5 billion in lost income since the mid-1990s. “Our collaboration with CIMMYT, one of the world’s most reputable organizations in the field of wheat improvement, will allow Canadian wheat farmers to benefit from the centre’s world class and extensive research,” added Roman Szumski, vice-president of life sciences with the NRC. “This strategic arrangement will help us to achieve the Canadian Wheat Alliance’s main objectives of improving the yield, sustainability and profitability of Canadian wheat.”

New market may mean less diversity

Genetic research gives boost to wheat varieties

Variety development | Wheat breeding efforts are likely to focus on yield gains in major classes BY DAN YATES

‘Tsunami’ of DNA markers coming on tap for breeders

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

In the coming years, some minor Canadian wheat classes may be mentioned in the same vein as the dodo bird. Changes within the Canadian grain industry could make it difficult to breed and market specialty wheat cultivars, said Jim Downey, research and development manager for SeCan. “I see a prevalence of this kind of conventional hard red and durum varieties over the future, even to a greater extent than we’ve seen in the past, and less specialty type varieties,” he told the Canadian Wheat Symposium, a meeting of public and private sector wheat breeders and grain industry officials held last week in Saskatoon. He referred to the former Canadian Wheat Board’s capacity to fund market development by using pool money to subsidize and pay premiums for specialty wheat, such as extra-strong gluten strength varieties. He said the focus on conventional types will be driven by market demand and transportation logistics that favour varieties of similar protein and quality. “We’ve lost that ability … and now the grain handling system — no fault of theirs, they need to be profit driven — they’re saying, ‘we’ve got to move a lot of wheat. Our system is built to move large volumes of conventional quality wheat,’ ” he said. Private and public investment in other crops and other countries dwarfs wheat development work in Canada, but breeders have kept pace with yield gains seen in other crops. “As a plant breeder, I don’t see a limitation yet. I haven’t even begun to exhaust the genetic variation that’s around,” said Ron DePauw, senior principal wheat breeder with Agriculture Canada. “What am I lacking? I’m lacking

Wheat breeders have kept up to yield gains made in other crops, despite less investment. | nurseries. I’m lacking hands. I’m lacking people to do the work. That’s what I’m lacking. I think that’s the greatest resource limitation. It’s the investment.” He said the current level of investment means farmers can expect small incremental gains in the genetic potential of their wheat seed: about a six percent gain over a 10-year period. Further gains are possible through production practices and use of inputs, if producers can afford it, he added. The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), which focuses on global food security, says world wheat yields must grow 1.6 percent per year to meet the demands

of an increasing population. “Yields are increasing at a rate that’s consistent with what we’re seeing in other wheat producing nations with similar agroecological environments,” said Curtis Pozniak, a breeder with the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre. “Many of those other areas aren’t focusing on some of the very strict quality requirements that we breed into our varieties.” Wheat researchers note the negative correlation between yield gains and protein quality and quantity in the crop. Improved agronomy and a small drop in the desired protein content could allow wheat breeders to deliver yield gains of 10 to 15 per-

cent in that same 10-year period, said DePauw. He said the protein profile of Canadian wheat, which is known internationally for its quality, could change, although it’s unlikely to occur in the premium Canada Western Red Spring Wheat class. “What we’re likely to see is alternative classes of wheat, like Canada Prairie Spring, coming on with a different quality profile. Do we fit into other kinds of markets? The market that Canada Western Red Spring fits into … that will continue to be there for a long time,” he said. “For some of the more price-conscious markets, then some of the other kinds of wheat that we have will fit into their demands.”

CANADIAN WHEAT SYMPOSIUM | HEALTH

Research reveals Canadian-made wheat as useful, healthy as ever BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Researchers studying the makeup of western Canadian wheat cultivars have found that many of the crop’s traits have remained unchanged over the last 100 years. Their findings offer a rebuttal for grain industry advocates when engaging in internet forums and dinnertime debates with anti-gluten crusaders and adherents to low- and no-carb diets who link wheat’s consumption to health concerns. Among the many claims circulated online and in best selling books is that the wheat in farmers’ fields and the grain products in consumers’ homes are different than those in previous generations as the pursuit of higher yields affects the crop’s healthfulness. “I think wheat really is wheat — at least Canadian wheats,” said Nancy Ames of Agriculture Canada.

“Canadian wheats really haven’t changed.” Ames was among the researchers who contributed to a project studying 20 modern and heritage varieties used in Western Canada since the turn of the 20th century. Breeders’ efforts have focused on yield, disease resistance and milling and baking properties, but Ames found that wheat’s nutritional profile has remained largely the same. “Even though we didn’t select for or against, we really haven’t changed those things too much,” she said. “There’s a little up and down, enough up and down that I think there’s probably genetic variation that we might be able to go in should we want some higher types of fibre or something like that in various locations.” Red Fife and Marquis were among the her itage var ieties that the researchers tested. “(They) were the starting point

basically for the CWRS varieties,” Nancy Edwards of Cereal Grains Consultancy, who contributed to the project, told the Canadian Wheat Symposium in Saskatoon last week. “We had an exceptional starting point, and we’ve done a really good job of maintaining some of those characteristics that we saw in Red Fife and wanted to continue.” Researchers found consistency across most varieties in protein and gluten content and baking and milling performance, as well as dietary fibre, starch and antioxidant activity. Wheat consumption can offer a number of nutritional benefits, said Julie Miller Jones, a nutritionist and University of Minnesota professor. Only six percent of the population should be eating a gluten-free diet, she added — those with a specific condition such as Celiac disease. “Celiac and other autoimmune diseases are increasing and despite the fact that (Wheat Belly author Wil-

liam Davis) says it’s due to the wheat, there’s all kinds of factors that are different and many theories and I think we need more exploration of those,” said Miller Jones. Ames said breeders’ efforts have focused on the needs and demands of farmers and millers, screening cultivars for a host of traits, none of which are for nutrition. Wheat buyers and ultimately Canadian breeders will have to respond if wheat and gluten critics stick around, she added. “I don’t think we have room for specialty wheats, but I do think it may be time to start screening wheats when we’re going to have new varieties to make sure we’re selecting ones that do well in a whole grain system,” said Ames. “That we are looking at whole grain products and that we’re able to make better products with wheat out of whole wheat, and we’re not doing that right now.”

Western Canadian farmers are already benefitting from the work of s c i e nt i s t s ma p p i n g t h e w h e at genome, even though the job isn’t done yet. The promise of increased efficiency, improved line selection and speedier delivery time to producers makes genetic technology an important tool for plant breeders. However, scientists have yet to fully crack wheat’s genetic code, despite its standing as one of the world’s staple crops and the fact that the work has already been accomplished in 50 other crops, everything from corn and soybeans to hemp and watermelon. Funding for wheat research is one challenge, as is the plant’s complex hexaploid genome. Approximately $50 million US is needed to finish mapping the crop’s 42 chromosomes, according to Nature magazine. Despite the challenges, researchers have already identified several DNA markers that are used in breeding programs. Durum and wheat breeder Curtis Pozniak from the University of Saskatchewan told the Canadian Wheat Symposium in Saskatoon last week about 10 wheat and 12 durum varieties that have been delivered to western Canadian farmers since 2003 with the assistance of new technology to select for desired crop traits. Wheat breeders can use “marker assisted selection” to help select plants for characteristics including cold and drought tolerance, gluten strength, pre-harvest sprouting and resistance to wheat rust, fusarium head blight and insects. “Being able to dissect the genome in a meaningful way to identify all of the parts that we need to identify can certainly be challenging, but as the sequencing technology has evolved over the last number of years, we are now able to tackle sequencing the genome in a meaningful way and at a reasonable price,” said Pozniak. The technology was used in the development of the varieties Lillian, Somerset and Burnside to select for high grain protein content. In the case of Lillian, researchers collaborated to use these markers in a doubled haploid system that already significantly speeds up variety development. “About a third of all of the varieties now registered in wheat are doubled haploid cultivars, and some of the double haploid cultivars were actually selected with molecular markers,” said Ron DePauw, senior principal wheat breeder with Agriculture Canada. Pozniak referred to an incoming “DNA marker tsunami.” “I feel a bit overwhelmed, actually, with the amount of information we’re generating in the lab,” he said. “With millions of markers, it’s going to become a real challenge for breeders to define which markers are useful.” His wheat and durum research is helping identify a gene for stem solidness.

WEATHER | PRODUCTION OUTLOOK

Excess rain trims acres, reduces nutrients Two million unseeded acres | Several parts of the Prairies see fertilizer leach into soggy soil, but southern Alberta needs rain BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Excess moisture has prevented a sizable chunk of the eastern and central Prairies from being seeded this year, say analysts. But the western Prairies need rain, and the overall assessment in central and eastern areas ranges from excellent to concerns about timely herbicide spraying and leaching nutrients. “We’re probably going to settle in around two million (unseeded) acres, roughly speaking,” said Bruce Burnett, CWB weather and crop specialist. It is more than the 500,000 acres that went unseeded last year but far less than the five to eight million acres during the floods of a few years ago, he said. Most of this year’s unplanted acres will be in western Manitoba and eastern and central Saskatchewan. It will affect a mix of crops, but there is one that stands out. “The intended soybean area probably was hurt proportionately more than some other crops,” said Burnett. Soybeans are primarily grown in western Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan. Growers intended to plant 1.6 million acres, but Burnett thinks actual plantings will be closer to 1.25 million, which is similar to last year. It’s a 22 percent reduction from intended acres. Brian Voth, Agri-Trend senior market adviser, agrees with Burnett’s assessment. “The number I heard talked about a little bit on one of our conference calls was somewhere in that two million acre range,” he said. “It would be more than average, but I don’t know if it’s enough to make a huge difference.” Burnett isn’t overly concerned about the idled two million acres because 53.4 million acres will still be planted to the six major crops. “At the end of the day, the total acreage doesn’t have nearly the impact that the eventual yield does on total production,” he said. He is more anxious about crops sitting in soggy soil. Nutrients are leaching down into the ground, and crops are not being sprayed in a timely manner, which can reduce yields. “The story isn’t done just with how many acres are not going to be planted,” said Burnett. Voth said yields will be down substantially from last year’s bin-busting crop. “I would almost lean towards below average.” He worries crops may lack vital nutrients for growth. Little residual fertilizer was left in the soil after last year’s record crop, and farmers may have scrimped on some nutrients

While soggy soil will prevent millions of acres from being seeded, one industry official says a smaller than average crop may help offset the huge carryover from the bumper crop last year. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTO because of high prices. What was applied may be leaching into the soil with all the rain. A large swath of the grain-growing region from northwestern Alberta to southwestern Manitoba has received excess spring moisture. It has been particularly soggy in the triangle between Edmonton, Prince Albert, Sask., and Moose Jaw, Sask., where growers have received 150 to 200 percent of normal precipitation between April 1 and June 12. Cam Dahl, president of Cereals Canada, said a smaller-than-average crop might not be a bad thing if it happens. “The counter to that is the very, very large carryover that we’re going to have this year,” he said. “Canada will have wheat to sell and canola to sell and everything else to sell. There’s still a lot of grain in the country.” Mike Davey, market analyst with FarmLink Marketing Solutions in Alberta, said he has also heard talk of two million abandoned acres. Growers in many regions have welcomed the moisture and others could still use a soaker, he said. Almost all of Alberta from Red Deer

south is dry, as is southwestern Saskatchewan. Storms were forecast for that region as of June 16. Davey has heard few complaints about excess moisture, but growers

want prolonged periods of sunshine to kick-start crop growth. Burnett anticipated a big bump in winter wheat plantings this fall. That happened in previous years when

CANOLA | PROCESSING

Spring canola crush pace comes crashing down Three week slowdown | Facility maintenance, rail issues prevent industry from showing capability BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Disappointing. That’s a word that comes up again and again when farmers, analysts and crushers discuss the performance of Canada’s canola processors this crop year. Even with a huge crop and an expanded processing capacity, canola crushers might not match the 2012-13 total, with capacity use in recent weeks running at less than twothirds. “It is disappointing,” said Brett Halstead, chair of the Canadian Canola Growers Association. “I think it’s disappointing for the canola crushers, too.” The current trouble began in the week ending May 28 when the weekly crush pace fell almost 24 percent. The next week it fell another 6.6 percent. At 108,799 tonnes that was only about 61 percent of capacity. Things picked up in the week ending June 11, but still the crush capacity use was less than 65 percent. Year-to-date by June 11, the number of tonnes crushed was almost identical to 2012-13. In the current year to date, capacity use is just over 80 percent. Last year at the same point it was 84.4 percent but that was before some of the plant expansions were complete. Greg Kostal of Kostal Ag Consulting

Despite expanded processing capacity, the canola crush is almost identical to 2012-13. | said production slowdowns are common in summer as companies do maintenance before gearing up for the new crop. Richardson International said its Yorkton, Sask., plant began maintenance this week. This recent slump is a letdown because it hasn’t allowed the expanded crushing industry to show what it can do. “When we look back in retrospect, we’re going to be disappointed,” Kostal said. This current crush is down 30,000 tonnes a week from the pace in the winter and early spring, he noted.

“You’ve had three weeks in a row of sub-par performance.” Fat margins were available to crushers who could get canola, crush it and get the oil and meal to markets. Oil demand was good and U.S. protein meal demand was red hot because of the short supplies of U.S. soybeans. However, crushers complained they couldn’t get oil and meal to the market because of clogged railways, preventing them from fully benefitting. Halstead said he sympathizes with the crushers, but he’s more sorry for farmers, who left even more money

on the table. Crushers passed on some of their costs by widening margins to profit killing levels. “Farmers have a lot of money invested too, in each crop, and when they see a really disappointing basis, it’s depressing,” said Halstead. “They have big crops they can’t move and then it gets reflected in the basis, too.” Moving old crop canola to crushers isn’t necessarily easy. For example, the Cargill plant in Clavet, Sask., has no old crop bids, listing June, July and August prices as “full” on its website. The recent weak pace of crushing

isn’t helping reduce stocks, but strong exports are helping. “Back six months ago, carryout (estimates) for industry was something probably with a three in front of it,” Kostal said, meaning three million tonnes or more. “Now you’re talking mid-twos, lowtwos.” Halstead said the crushing industry hasn’t processed less than last year, but it seems like it has because farmers have so much canola in the bin, and farmers all know that the crushers have built up their capacity. “We should be way ahead, but we aren’t,” said Halstead.

WHEAT | QUALITY

U.S. hard red winter wheat crop packed with protein Canadian spring wheat growers may see the protein spread shrink BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Protein spreads for wheat will likely shrink because of a small but good quality U.S. winter wheat crop, say analysts. Early harvest results from Texas and Oklahoma indicate high protein wheat this year. “Protein is very good at around 14 percent,” said Arlan Suderman, senior market analyst with Water Street Advisory. “Normally we’d be shooting for 12 to 12.5 percent.” Suderman expects the Kansas wheat crop will also have high protein content because of early season drought conditions. The U.S. situation doesn’t bode well for Canadian spring wheat producers, said Bruce Burnett, CWB weather and crop specialist. “That will serve to compress the protein spreads,” he said. “(However), we do have an impact

on that if we don’t produce a lot of high protein wheat in the northern (U.S.) Plains or Canadian Prairies.” The protein content of Canadian wheat has been below average the past couple of years, and that may be the case again this year because of the wet conditions. “I would say you’re looking probably this year right now at a lowerthan-average protein crop in Western Canada,” said Burnett. The U.S. winter wheat crop may be high in protein content, but the yields are disappointing. The U.S. Department of Agriculture sees 52.85 million tonnes of winter and spring wheat production in 2014-15, which would be the third smallest crop in the last 25 years. Suderman believes it will eventually be even smaller because of the drought-damaged hard red winter wheat crop. The USDA is forecasting 19.6 million tonnes of hard red winter wheat production, down 700,000 tonnes from its May forecast. “They’re getting closer. They don’t have it right yet, but they’re getting closer,” said Suderman. He is forecasting 18 million tonnes of hard red production, but it could be less if late-season rain boosts

abandonment rates. Suderman recently conducted a two-day tour of wheat crops in Kansas. “What we saw is a lot of wheat that is eight to 10 inches tall, knee-high at the most, and very thin,” he said. And the Kansas crop is in better shape than the one in Oklahoma. “Ironically, we’re going from one of the worst droughts on record to persistent rain, and we’re getting a flush of weeds in that thin wheat,” said Suderman. The rain is causing late-season tillers, so while most of the heads are ready for harvest, the late plants are at the flowering to milk stages. This creates tremendous harvest headaches for growers.

Suderman is not overly bullish about wheat despite the dismal condition of the U.S. winter wheat crop because it doesn’t appear as if global stocks will be tight this year. “We’ll probably see this market bounce here fairly soon, but I don’t see new highs anytime soon unless a problem develops in another part of the world,” he said. MDA Cropcast, a forecaster that uses satellite technology to gauge yields, thinks Russia could be one of those problem areas. It sees conditions that are similar to 2010 and 2012, which were two poor production years. The firm is forecasting 45 million tonnes of Russian wheat production, which is well below the USDA’s estimate of 53 million tonnes. Other analysts don’t expect serious issues in Russia. Suderman works with Commodity Weather Group, which has not noticed any similarities to 2010 and 2012 and is optimistic about recent rainfall in Russia’s dry regions. He also said concerns about El Nino sapping yields in eastern Australia have eased with reports that it will be a weak event. “At this point it’s difficult for me to come up with a real bullish case. As

much as I’d like to, I don’t see it yet,” he said.

FLOUR PRODUCTION | HURDLES

Millers struggle as health fears sap flour demand Gluten claimed toxic | Flour millers trying to counter negative health portrayals of wheat BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A couple of popular diet books have taken a toll on wheat flour production in Canada, say industry officials. The amount of milled wheat and wheat flour produced in Canada has averaged 2.87 million tonnes per year from 2011-13, which is down eight percent from the 3.12 million tonne annual average from 2001-10. Gordon Harrison, president of the Canadian National Millers Association, said the decline in wheat milling coincides with the 2011 release of Wheat Belly, a New York Times best seller by William Davis, which contends modern wheat is toxic and makes people want to eat more junk food. “That was the first wave of attack or assault on wheat,” said Harrison. Davis’s book was followed in 2013 by Grain Brain, another internation-

al best seller by David Perlmutter, which contends carbohydrates from grain are destroying brains and causing dementia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, chronic headaches and depression. Harrison is convinced the two books have reduced demand for products made with milled wheat and wheat flour. “That is probably the major factor in consumer behavioural change that has driven demand for flour,” he said. Trade statistics indicate flour demand remains solid in most export markets, except for the United States, which is the hotbed of the anti-gluten movement. Harrison said the encouraging news is that the U.S. set a threemonth record for flour production in early 2014. It follows a couple of years where bakery sales were declining at a clip of three to five percent per year.

Bakers and millers are taking measures to dispel myths surrounding wheat consumption. A growing population is also helping to increase demand for flour despite the anti-gluten movement. | FILE PHOTO He hopes the record flour production signifies a turn-around in consumer attitudes. The U.S. is usually a year or two ahead of Canada when it comes to trends in the food and beverage sector. Bruce Burnett, CWB weather and crop specialist, said the situation reminds him of the 2002 Atkins Diet craze, which reduced wheat consumption but eventually faded away. “With dietary fads, what happens is they sort of come to a crescendo at a certain point in time about a year after they’ve been on Oprah,” he said.

“Then they go away.” Burnett said nutritional science eventually weeds out the facts from the fads. “This waxing and waning will happen, so I guess I’m not that concerned about it,” he said. Harrison said population-related growth in North American wheat flour demand is helping offset the negative impact of the diet books. Canada and the U.S. are home to 350 million people, and the population is growing by one percent per year. It means 3.5 million more peo-

ple to feed each year, many of whom are immigrants who aren’t averse to eating wheat. “Population growth in Canada and the U.S. will ultimately offset this consumer behaviour, which could be fairly short term, and the industry will experience sustained but very moderate growth like it has done for many years,” said Harrison. In the meantime, bakers and millers have funded the Healthy Grains Institute to dispel what they consider to be myths surrounding the glutenfree diet.

India forecasts a seven percent deficit in this year’s monsoon rains, but a Canadian analyst thinks it could be lower than that. “In talking to some of our Indian contacts, it is definitely a delayed monsoon and the start of it is not as vigorous as it usually is, so they are definitely concerned,” said Darren Lemieux, head trader and market analyst with Simpson Seeds. The deficit would have to be 10 to 15 percent for his contacts to be so rattled, he said. The India Meteorological Department issued a forecast June 10 saying rainfall would be 93 percent of the long-term average with a margin of error of four percent. But as of June 16, the department was reporting that monsoon rains were 49 percent below normal for the month to date. The last time India had a seven percent deficit in monsoon rainfall was 2012-13. Pulse production fared well that year, up seven percent from the previous year. In 2009-10, the country experienced a 22 percent shortfall in rain. Once again pulse production was surprisingly good, up slightly from the previous year. Lemieux said the impact of a shortfall is usually more pronounced in the upcoming rabi crop than it is in the kharif crop, which is currently being planted. The rabi crop relies on

moisture reserves, and if they are depleted it will reduce yields of important rabi crops such as chickpeas and lentils. Lentil prices have already been red hot because of a disappointing 201314 Indian lentil harvest, where there was some quality damage due to late season rains. There has been strong demand for all types of lentils in India, where consumption continues to outpace demand year after year. Growers can thank El Nino if that trend continues. It is responsible for the disappointing monsoon forecast and poor pulse production prospects in Australia, which is a major exporter of crops such as chickpeas and lentils. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences is forecasting 1.84 million tonnes of pulse production, down 16 percent from last year and 15 percent from the previous year. The forecast includes a 17 percent reduction in lentil production and a 20 percent decline in chickpeas compared to 2013-14. Lemieux said the lentil estimate might rise if farmers make a lateseason switch to the crop like they did in Canada. However, poor crop growing forecasts in India and Australia should contribute to an already robust Canadian lentil export program. “I don’t see a slowdown in demand, and lentils are still one of the most reasonably priced pulses out there,” said Lemieux.

MGEX wheat traders eye Canada

HOGS RISE

A Canadian delivery point for spring wheat would give the sector a boost BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — The Minneapolis spring wheat contract could become the leader of North American wheat futures markets, some Minneapolis grain traders think. But to crack that egg, the Minneapolis Grain Exchange wheat contract might need a Canadian delivery point, something difficult to achieve. “It’s full of technical problems, but our hope is that they’re working it out,” said Scott O’Donnell of Frontier Futures, which operates out of the MGEX building. “We, as traders, would double the size of our exchange, double the size of our volume, double … our customers.” The dominant wheat futures contract in North America is the Chicago Board of Trade soft red winter wheat contract. The next largest is the KC hard red winter wheat contract, which formerly traded at the Kansas City Board of Trade but is now owned by the CBOT. Minneapolis spring wheat is the least-traded of the three liquid North American wheat contracts, but represents a continental crop that

SCOTT O’DONNELL FRONTIER FUTURES

should have more weight, market participants generally believe. However, that crop is divided between the U.S. northern Plains and the Canadian Prairies and the contract only indirectly reflects the value of western Canadian wheat. Futures contracts are designed to reflect the cash market by having “delivery points” that can have actual, physical wheat delivered to them to satisfy a futures position when a contract enters the liquidation process prior to expiry. That mechanism, if designed right, stops the cash and futures markets from diverging too widely. Yet with half the crop grown in Canada but all the delivery points in the United States, Canadian cash values can’t easily discipline an errant futures market. “In the end, you can’t really make delivery,” said O’Donnell. “It’s 7/8ths of a complete system.”

MGEX delivery points are in the Minneapolis and Duluth areas, a long way to move Canadian grain to fulfill a futures position. O’Donnell said that means many Canadian farmers and grain companies are probably not sure the contract is a reliable hedging device and might avoid it because of this uncertainty. If the contract had a Canadian delivery location, that uncertainty would likely evaporate. “If it’s the de facto hedge for the Canadian spring wheat farmer, that’s a good thing,” he said. “(That will only happen) if there aren’t any doubts. Right now there are many doubts. The Canadian merchandiser isn’t necessarily going to consider delivery a possibility.” Establishing delivery points and mechanisms isn’t easy in any contract. Also, the international border creates challenges with different mandatory reporting requirements and rules. But with Canadian-U.S. commercial trade in spring wheat developing in the post-CWB monopoly era, it would be good to see the MGEX contract develop with it. “We’ve got this possibly huge contract here,” said O’Donnell. “It’s a rebirth, in our minds.”

Stronger pork prices and tight supply of market-ready animals pushed U.S. cash hog prices up $5 to $6 per hundredweight. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs delivered to plants rose to $86.50-$87 US per cwt. from $80-$82 June 6. On a carcass basis, Midwest hogs averaged $114.70 per cwt. June 13, up from $107.85 June 6. The U.S. pork cutout rose to $123.45 June 13 from $120.60 per cwt. June 6. U.S. estimated weekly slaughter for the week to June 14 was 1.915 million, down from 1.93 million the previous week. Slaughter was 1.95 million last year at the same time.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range fetched prices as high as $4 Cdn per lb. hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers sold at prices up to $3.85. Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

Hair rams were $56-$70 per cwt. Cull ewes were $55-$129 and ewelamb families were $180-$250 per unit. Feeder kids lighter than 60 lb. were $165-$225. Good kid goats lighter than 70 lb. were $220-$255. Those heavier than 70 lb. were $220-$255 per cwt. Nannies were $65-$110 per cwt. Billies were $115-$150. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 2,317 sheep and lambs and 19 goats traded June 9. All classes of lambs sold $10-$15 cwt. lower. Sheep traded $5-$7 cwt. lower. Goats sold steady.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE RECORD HIGH Buyer interest increased on the modest cash offering, and fed prices surged higher. The fed steer weighted average rose to $153.41 per hundredweight, up $2.40, and fed heifers were $152.55, up $2.69. A good mix of live and dressed trade was reported. Alberta rail steers were $253.75 to $258.75. Tight market-ready fed supplies in Eastern Canada enhanced Alberta market competition, but U.S. buyer interest was weak. The cash-tofutures basis weakened to -$8.30, but remains seasonally strong. The week’s sale volumes rose 23 percent to 10,821 head, but that was down 39 percent from the same week last year. Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to June 7 was steady at 37,119 head. Fed exports to May 31 rose 40 percent to 6,628 head. Exports are down four percent from last year. Cattle futures are now extremely over-bought, and profit taking could set in.

COWS STEADY Cow slaughter is slowly picking up, but numbers remain below a year ago. Many commercial auctions reported more than half of their inventory was slaughter cows and bulls during the week. D1, D2 cows traded $103-$115 per cwt. to average $108.50, while D3s ranged $92-$103 to average $97.63. Rail grade cows were $206-$211. Canadian 85 percent fresh trim prices have risen, lending support to the non-fed market. Higher prices are possible over the next couple of weeks. Only once in the past 10 years, in

2012, have first half highs been set in June.

FEEDERS HAVE UPSIDE Alberta 400-500 pound feeders were up $4-$6 per cwt. Gains were a little less in other weight classes. The Chicago August feeder contract rose eight percent during the last month. Canadian cash price increases lag that pace. Monthly prices for 850 lb. steers have risen from June to July in eight out of the past nine years. The average price increase was 8.4 percent. Prices would climb to $204 in July if the trend continues this year. Such an increase might be considered aggressive, but there is upside to the market, considering that barley and corn prices are under pressure and basis levels usually improve from June to July.

OPINION

ANIMAL WELFARE | ABUSE PREVENTION

CRAIG’S VIEW

Cruelty in B.C. dairy may spark reassessment of regulations

t is a black eye indeed for the dairy industry — a black deeper than the spots on the Holsteins that eight people collaborated in abusing on a British Columbia dairy farm. Disbelief and revulsion were the primary emotions expressed by all who saw the Mercy for Animals Canada video released last week showing employees at Canada’s largest dairy, Chilliwack Cattle Sales, striking animals with chains and rakes, mechanically hoisting them by their necks and irritating cows’ wounds that were incurred in unknown ways. It is hard to fathom what motivated these people to treat cattle in such ways. Anyone who has handled cattle for any length of time knows that bovine behaviour can be frustrating, but there are no excuses for the abuse visited upon the dairy cattle as shown in the video. The actions of the night shift at one dairy do not depict typical activity at Canadian dairies. Dairy farmers have said that. Industry leaders have said that. We believe it is true. Yet the video, a compilation of incidents recorded in May, cannot help but raise doubts about what occurs on farms that is unseen — doubts not in dairy producers’ minds, but in the minds of consumers. Mercy for Animals says its video shows the industry is incapable of policing itself. What it really showed was that one dairy was incapable of policing itself, but that point won’t hold water in the pool of public opinion. Every undercover animal cruelty video released in North America gives weight to the idea that farms need more regulation, more inspection, more monitoring — all of which will make it more difficult and expensive to pursue any form of animal agriculture. It’s somewhat ironic that the dairy industry in particular has had one of its members exposed for animal abuse. It was the first to

adopt a national code of practice that itemizes requirements and best practices for the care and handling of cattle. It is also the first to pilot an assessment process, expected to be launched next year, which will be designed to ensure and prove compliance with the code and assess penalties if necessary. The dairy industry appeared to be doing everything right — until last week. Now it might want to step up the pace of its assessment project, and other livestock sectors will also have to think about code compliance assurance methods. The other thrust that receives extra push from animal cruelty incidents is attaching the various livestock code of practice requirements to provincial legislation. Some provinces have already done so. That likely doesn’t improve compliance, which is already high, given that producers participated in building the codes. However, it might make abuse cases easier to prove. Every publicized incident of animal abuse gives a black eye to the entire agricultural industry, through loss of credibility, loss of public confidence and potentially greater regulation and expense. There’s only one way to manage this: prevent animal abuse from occurring at any stage of animal agriculture production, seen or unseen, whether made public or done behind closed doors. The flaw in that simple statement is lack of agreement on how animals should best be treated, and that may never be remedied. However, producers do know, as the general public knows, that the repulsive behaviour of those employees at Chilliwack Cattle Sales cannot be justified or condoned. It is, quite simply, wrong.

ONTARIO POLITICS | WYNNE IN CHARGE

Ontario needs experienced ag minister in sector facing challenges CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

Kathleen Wynne has few rural members in cabinet

he campaigning may be over a n d t h e v o t e s h av e b e e n counted, but election chatter is still in full force as Ontario comes to terms with June 12’s surprise result. In a stunning victory, Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals decimated their opponents, winning a majority in an election pollsters had claimed was too close to call. Wynne becomes the first female premier elected in Ontario and the first lesbian premier elected in Canada.

So where does she go from here? Over the next four years, Wynne can put her mark on a province that is facing high pockets of unemployment, transit gridlock, a struggling manufacturing sector and a ballooning deficit, currently sitting at $329 billion. These are all issues for which Wynne has promised to find solutions. However, Ontario’s farming community has an additional pressing issue: who will be the province’s agriculture minister? For the past two and a half years, Wynne, who hails from Toronto, has served as both premier and agriculture minister. While her decision to represent a field widely unfamiliar to her was heralded by some as a way to reconnect with rural regions, most folks who live in those communities hold a different view. At the time of her appointment, many farmers, industry stakeholders and rural advocates charged there was no way the premier would be able to balance both the intrinsic

complexities of the agriculture portfolio and the demands of premiership. Agriculture minister, they said, was already (and remains) a fulltime job. It’s not that industry doesn’t recognize the amount of time and effort the premier has put into trying to learn about agriculture. Folks who have been invited to farmer roundtables and tours insist Wynne asks a lot of good questions about the file and is interested in hearing from stakeholders. Still, others can’t help but point to a handful of times over the past two years where the agriculture minister should have reacted but didn’t. When ketchup giant Heinz announced it was closing its large tomato processing plant in Leamington, Ont., the minister refused to comment on the situation until the next day. The premier has also yet to visit Kemptville College, one of two agriculture colleges in the eastern part of the province threatened by closure.

Many in the region have viewed her lack of a visit as a snub. With pressure mounting on the industry to double agriculture’s contribution to the province’s gross domestic product by 2020 (a challenge issued by Wynne herself ), the general consensus among farm folks is the next cabinet should field a new agriculture minister, preferably one with a farming or rural background. The problem is, Wynne doesn’t have many options. Liberal support is concentrated in urban centres, particularly around her hometown of Toronto. One glance at an election map shows most of the province’s rural regions went blue, opting for Tim Hudak’s Conservatives. There are, as always, a few exceptions. Rural MPP Grant Crack, Wynne’s second in command on the agriculture file, will return to Queen’s Park. Crack, who represents the riding of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell an hour east of Ottawa, has been heavily involved in the Kemptville College

fight alongside several Conservative MPPs. Former agriculture minister and longtime MPP Ted McMeekin is also likely on the short list, as is Jeff Leal, whose most recent cabinet post was as rural affairs minister. Whichever way Wynne decides to represent agriculture in her cabinet, be it by keeping the post herself or giving it to someone else, one thing is for certain: her choice will be met with heavy scrutiny from an industry juggling several challenges at once. Ontario’s food processing sector continues to waffle, the horse racing industry is still floundering, land and energy prices are soaring, pork producers are still threatened by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and calls to protect bees are growing louder by the day. Also clear, once appointed, the new agriculture minister will be expected to do nothing less than roll up his or her sleeves and get to work.

Consumers explore beef alternatives

Crystal ball shows changes can be good

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS

orth American consumers are starting to notice price increases at the meat counter. Meat prices in the United States jumped 8.4 percent in April from the previous year, while meat prices in Canada are likely to go up by five to six percent this year. Given that meat prices barely rose over the previous two years, this is clearly a change of pace. The culprit is a perfect storm of supply and demand factors, hitting us just in time for grilling season. North American beef inventories are low, the lowest being in droughtstricken regions. Sudden changes in weather patterns tend to increase grain prices, posing a problem for beef producers because seven kilograms of feed and almost 15,000 litres of water are required to produce one kg of beef. More worrisome still is that it takes almost two years to bring cattle to market, which means it will take a while for inventories to be built up again. In pork, which is one the world’s cheapest animal proteins, prices are also going up but for a different reason. The spread of porcine epidemic diarrhea across the continent has reduced hog herds significantly. Even if this virus poses no threat to consumers, we will be asked to pay a little more for bacon or ham in coming months. Cattle and hog farmers have faced significant headwinds for years because of a barrage of environmental and economic factors, including BSE, foot-and-mouth disease, acute increases of input costs, weak currency and American-based protec-

Higher beef prices may force some consumers to switch to chicken or pork or look at non-meat alternatives for protein, says the author. | FILE PHOTO tionist policies. Nevertheless, record prices at the farmgate mean the livestock industry is finally seeing better days after many years of heartaches. This bodes well for our rural economic growth agenda, but it won’t be without adjustments in Canadians’ protein-buying trends. As consumers, we are hardwired to always look for more affordable alternatives, particularly when it comes to meat products. Given that chicken and fish prices have been relatively stable over the last while and are unlikely to drop, perhaps we will be compelled to explore different protein-sourcing options at the grocery store.

Significantly, our food system is starting to send signals that our current pace in animal production may be slowly reaching its limits. Consumers are beginning to realize that meat does not just represent protein in our diets. It is a nutritional luxury and part of a way of life that may no longer be sustainable for the vast majority of us. As Canadians, we have access to one of the world’s most affordable food baskets, and meat has been offered to us at reasonable prices for decades. With climate change and an increased demand for meat in developing countries, protein supplies will likely remain tight and higher meat

price trends will probably continue for a long time. Perfect storms like we are currently experiencing at meat counters are liable to become more frequent. In the future, the meat supply and price dynamic are expected to drive consumers to reconsider the relative environmental and economic value of meat products. By thinking more holistically about food systems, many of us are increasingly showing signs of wanting to move away from an animal proteincentric diet to a more diverse culinary experience. Food retailers in Canada are also noticing, and adapting. Loblaw, Canada’s top retailer, just acquired Arz Fine Foods to offer more variety with vegetable protein, particularly to an increasingly multicultural demographic. Other Canadian retailers are seeking similar opportunities, and that’s a good thing. In essence, the ever growing New Canadians market segment is steering our food industry toward more ethnically focused offerings that possess long and robust dietary and cultural histories. Undeniably, beef and pork are good sources of protein, and Canadians have embraced the opportunity to grill steaks and ribs on barbecues for years. But given what lies ahead, consumers will likely be compelled to seek different options. And for that, we should be thankful for the evergrowing diversity of our nation and our food basket.

GRAIN VERSUS BEEF | ECONOMICS

Higher beef prices don’t mean easy money HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

attle prices may be at all-time record highs, but producers still need a lot of them to make a decent living. Farms and ranches come in all sizes and levels of profitability, but a gross return of $250,000 is an interesting tipping point. Out of necessity, operations that make less than $250,000 a year tend to get most of their family income from other sources, whether it’s another business or off-farm employment. Fa r m s t h a t g r o s s m o r e t h a n $250,000 tend to get most of their family income from the farm.

This is a broad generalization, and there are all sorts of exceptions, but suffice to say that a farm grossing only $250,000 is not big by today’s standards. A year ago at this time, a back-ofthe-envelop calculation showed that a grain farm could gross $250,000 with only 800 cultivated acres. Wheat was around $8 a bushel and canola was around $13.50. Even using long-term yields of only 35 bu. per acre for wheat and 27 bu. for canola, the high prices had even modest farms turning significant dollars. Last year’s calculation for cattle used a price assumption of $1.50 a pound for 550 lb. steer and heifer calves. At that price, 300 calves were needed to generate $250,000. Thus, a cow herd of more than 300 cows was required. A grain farm of 800 acres was equivalent to more than 300 cows. An 800 acre grain farm on the Prairies is small by today’s standards, while a cow-calf operation of more than 300

head is much larger than average. How much has the picture changed in the past year? Wheat, canola and almost all other grains have dropped dramatically in price. Assuming wheat is $5.50 a bu. and canola at $10 and using the same long-term yields, it now takes about 1,100 acres in a wheat-canola rotation to hit $250,000. Calf prices are nothing short of amazing. Averaging steers and heifers, it’s reasonable to assume a price of $2.15 a lb. for 550 lb. animals sold this fall. A gross of $250,000 can be obtained with just 211 calves. Still, after some death loss and holding back replacement heifers, it probably takes a cow-calf operation nearly 250 head to hit that target revenue. Of course, net return is what’s really important. A farm can gross $250,000 and not be making any profit. However, even in profitable times, it’s difficult to carve out a living if gross income is too small. Let’s double the targeted gross to

$500,000, which is more typical of a lot of operations. The grain farm can do this at today’s prices and modest yield assumptions with 2,200 acres. The cow-calf operation needs 450 to 500 head. A small grain farm grosses as much as a significant cow-calf operation. On a grain farm, the owner-operator could earn extra money with offfarm employment through the winter. The cattle owner-operator still has to take care of the herd every day, which limits off-farm employment opportunities. The grain farmer can get away for a winter holiday. The cattle producer can do that only if there is family or friends willing to take care of feed and water. Thank goodness there are people who love raising cattle and know how to do it well, because even in the really good times, it isn’t a fast or easy track to wealth.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

D’ARCE MCMILLAN, MARKETS EDITOR

ometimes I get alarmed about our future when I read about environmental problems and forecasts for escalating food demand. But then I read a book like Abundance: The future is better than you think by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler and I can’t wait for the future to arrive. Of course, the future grows from seeds planted each day. What seemed fantastic a few decades ago is commonplace today and will be obsolete tomorrow. In 2009, doing a story about genome mapping, I first came across the word terabyte, a unit of digital data. One terabyte can store 1,000 copies of the Encyclopedia Britannica. New computers were arriving that could analyze and store terabytes of data. It was slashing the time and cost of mapping a plant’s genome, propelling plant breeding far beyond what was possible five years earlier. Now, five years later, a five terabyte hard drive costs about $250. Genome mapping is cheaper and quicker. Computing power has evolved at a breakneck pace for decades. Gordon Moore, a cofounder of the computer company Intel, wrote a paper in 1965 observing that computing speed doubled about every 18 months without an increase in cost. That’s held true over the decades and is now known as Moore’s Law. It is what has given us $100 smartphones that are hundreds of times more powerful than the portable computers of the 1980s, which cost thousands of dollars. Diamandis and Kotler note that such exponential growth is powerful, changing something from meager to massive overnight. Their book argues the same trend is happening across a range of technologies — computers, the internet, robotics, digital manufacturing, genetic and nano technology. In agriculture, advancements such as drought resistance, improved fertilizer uptake and increased nutrition will happen. Field sensors, monitoring with drones, robotic harvesters and precision farming will improve yields while using far fewer inputs. Hydroponic vertical farms, artificial meat — are all possible. Sure, there will be obstacles: consumer acceptance, corporate control, inequities between rich and poor to name a few. There is even the potential of overproduction and the threat that poses to farm income. But we will work them out, as we always have. I can’t wait for tomorrow because the future looks better every day.

Re: Schmeiser fighting GMOs. Percy has indeed made a big name for himself and his “cause”. Isn’t it time though to step back and ask, after 20 plus years of GM crop cultivation, what harm have these crops caused? Worldwide, proteins, starches, oils sourced from these crops have been safely ingested with zero ill effects. On the other hand, crop yields have risen dramatically and pesticide use dropped. Protestors, environmentalists, innocent urbanites, choose only the side of the story they want to hear;

meanwhile our farmers need to produce food to feed the billions. Martin C. Pick, Cavan, Ont.

CONSIDER THE PITFALLS To the Editor: Finally getting the distinct pleasure of sitting in one of those long lineups at the elevator to sell grain at a price somewhere hopefully near the cost of production. I had The Producer with me to occupy the hours. I came across a photo and article about a fellow who has built a 212 foot seeding unit, then puts it in a field dotted with random

trees. Here’s an innovator, I thought, but at the same time with no apparent knowledge of tree removal technology. An analogy here in my opinion can be made with what our present government has done with the wheat board — blind ideology without consideration for any pitfalls. Thanks for injecting a healthy shot of humour into my humdrum day. Stephen Light, Lloydminster, Sask.

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE? To the Editor: One meaning for cognitive disso-

nance is to ignore or deny any information that conflicts with existing beliefs. If the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance is right, cognitive dissonance might reach epidemic proportions before the next federal election. According to the Alliance, last February, with wheat priced $11.38/bu. at Vancouver, producers received $4.69/ bu. or 41 percent of the selling price. Under single desk, with wheat priced $10.61/bu. at Vancouver, producers received $9.99/bu. or 94 percent of the selling price. Now, I don’t care one little bit if MP David Anderson and MP Gerry Ritz suffer from a bad bout of cognitive dissonance but I feel compassion for those hard working producers who s u p p o r t e d “ m a r k e t f r e e d o m” because of Conservative lies. It is possible to get the single desk back and the first step is making sure the likes of Anderson and Ritz are not around after the next election. If a 50 percent drop in the farmer’s share of the selling price won’t do it, nothing will. Bev Currie, Swift Current, Sask.

I attended an organic chapter meeting in Muenster, Sask., and the grain transportation meeting in Raymore, Sask., March 8 and 9 respectively. The information brought forth at those meetings has compelled me to voice my concerns at our lack of awareness on the direction agriculture is taking today. I am listening to the same story, over and over, but other than minimal fines imposed on the railways by the federal government, there is seemingly no action addressing the backlog of grain, the demurrage farmers are paying on waiting ships, the lost markets, and total confusion with grain shipments. A new theory is circulating now and governments should not discount this as coffee shop talk, because it will likely come to votes. This is the story out there now. With farmers looking at the complete picture now and into the future, the grain transportation problems not only include the railways but other players as well. It may well be the grain companies, the multinationals, the railways and the governments of the day are working together in a bid to take complete control of agriculture in Canada, all to benefit the shareholder. The promise to “help” farmers by advancing loans to pay previous and present expenses only digs the hole deeper, with multiple principals owing, plus interest, plus lost grain sales, lower prices at the farmgate, and to top it off, elevated operating expenses.

OPINION The grain industry is now poised to be taken over without a shot fired, so to speak, not too far removed from what (Russian President Vladimir) Putin just pulled off in Russia. The path to serfdom is just around the corner, or maybe it is already here and we have just been too busy to notice. Bill C-18 is on the horizon, another takeover tool which is quietly being shoved through Parliament. UPOV91, part of the Agriculture Growth Act, I quote ,“should you decide to save seed from crop that you grow, you have the ability to do that and, again, just pay the royalty on the end when you sell it out”, as stated by agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, Dec. 9, 2013. There goes our foundation seed and will more than likely be replaced with GMOs, undermining organic agriculture completely, a real concern to me as I am an organic farmer. I wonder if our urban, Metis and

First Nation neighbours are aware of these actions, and I also wonder what their reactions would be if they were to research Bill C-18 in its entirety? Politicians, do not forget, you do have a certain responsibility to us, who voted for you, and did so with the hope you would have our best interests at heart. But there are some harmful decisions being made, especially at the federal level. Take note, there is the power of the vote, and as I was once told and I quote, “there is not a man on the property who can’t be replaced in 10 minutes”. Believe me, I did see it happen, and that man was at the top. My fellow farmers and I are one of the many “sheep led to slaughter,” quite evident with the loss of orderly grain marketing in this country. I do not understand why we did not get the chance to vote on the issue of

the Canadian Wheat Board, or why we lost the hard assets we had paid for. Our reputation for quality wheat, delivered in a timely manner, is gone along with the buyers who have gone elsewhere. Maybe whoever is behind this fiasco will get those markets back. We really doubt it. We do expect a reply from our elite politicians, but know this,regardless of reply, we will all be at the polling station next time, and will have our “neighbours” with us to vote. Erling Brakefield, Wynyard, Sask.

HOG INDUSTRY WOES To the Editor: Too few hogs, too many processing plants, or just no planning?

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JUNE 19, 2014

“When Maple Leaf sneezes, Brandon, MB catches a cold. We need more hogs. 1800 people have light paycheques.”(Brandon Sun, May 28) Maybe it’s because of our Canadian dollar comparison, and Manitoba hog producers are getting a much better price in the U.S.? It seems the Hylife hog plant in Neepawa has no hog shortage problems. In 2006, Manitoba had the distinction of being the No. 1 hog producer in Canada, over nine million animals. Then in 2009 there were too many hogs, and barns were shut down, herds were culled, feed prices were high, and South Korea no longer imported hogs from Canada, and governments subsidized the industry. Now the complaints are not enough hogs? And in the muddle of all this, the taxpayer is footing the promises of government to support and subsi-

dize this industry. What’s next? An economics professor has this to say. “It would have been far less costly for taxpayers and certainly more friendly to the water sources, environment and the quality of life to the rural population to pay, yes pay bribe money to the hog industry and say a polite, “No thank you, we don’t want your business and we are paying you to stay away.” It’s clear this corporation, raising hogs as a meat exporting industry, is not economically sustainable without taxpayers cash and environmental subsidies. If the industry can’t succeed within the laws that are supposed to protect the public, our water sources and the environment, and refuse to adapt, then they must be allowed to fail.

Immigrants enrich our lives SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

hat a privilege, some years ago, for me to be the connecting person between our church’s Chinese congregation and the other congregations in the Presbytery. Moose Jaw’s Chinese residents have been part of the community for at least 100 years. Little consideration was given to them or their issues in the church, but when I got to meet with Chinese church leaders, I learned about their vibrant, caring work. A major concern was with Chinese newcomers who often needed to learn English, become familiar with citizenship responsibilities and cope with children growing up in a different context from their parents. Their congregation had social and medical workers and classes, and also delivered regular services of worship. Also, they visited Chinese families who lived in tiny villages throughout southern Saskatchewan. This outreach was much appreciated. While the larger church network wondered why the Chinese members didn’t participate in Presbytery events, few gave thought to how their members worked nights and cared for their multi-generational families on what we considered “off-hours”. Memories return as I read Gabrielle Roy’s short story Where Will You Go, Lee Wong? about a Chinese immigrant to southern Saskatchewan in the early 20th century, who found his niche operating a small café befriending the town’s lonely and its youth. In my hometown, the Chinese café was always a place of special interest. And Bobbie Long was the smartest boy in our class. Our community was stronger because we knew the Longs, the Haragas, the Oslanskis and the Swansons. They encouraged me to explore the extended world God has given.

FABABEANS | ACREAGE OUTLOOK

Interest in fababeans growing across Prairies Beans push out peas | Growers who have had problems with root rot in peas are looking to fababeans BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Fababean acres will jump in Saskatchewan this year — it’s just a matter of how high. Sherrilyn Phelps, a regional crops specialist with the province’s agriculture ministry, said grower interest in fababeans was robust over the winter, and most producers got the crop in the ground. “I’m 100 percent positive they (acres) are going to be higher than what they were last year,” she said. “You couldn’t find seed … and there’s a lot of new growers. I would suspect the acres are definitely up.” Dale Risula, a Saskatchewan Agriculture special crops expert, said fababeans were planted on 10,000 acres in the province last year. He doesn’t know what acres will be this year, but the likely direction is up. “There seems to be an increasing interest in fababeans in Saskatchewan, as there is in Western Canada,” he said. Robyne Bowness, an Alberta Agriculture pulse crop pathology technologist, said in a presentation that there were 15,500 insured fababean acres in Alberta last year. Assuming 75 percent of acres were insured,

Acreage is expected to rise in Alberta and Saskatchewan but the ground was too wet in Manitoba to fababeans into the ground before the insurance deadline. | FILE PHOTO then total acres might have been 20,669. Alberta acreage is expected to rise significantly this year because many growers had success with the crop last year. Commercial yields in Alberta were variable, ranging from 40 to 70 bush-

els per acre. The 10 year average for fababeans in Alberta is 39 bu. per acre. Phelps said farmers in Saskatchewan’s black soil zone are experimenting with fababeans as a replacement for peas. “We’ve had a lot of problems with

peas and root rot disease. Fababeans are more tolerant of wet soil,” she said. “People have been dabbling in them in the northeast, (parts) of the northwest and a little bit in the southeast to east-central region.” Fababean acres were also expected to rise in Manitoba, but the cool, wet spring in the province’s parkland region cut into production. “As it turned out, it was so wet and late that very few (faba)beans went in (the ground) in Manitoba,” said Rod Fisher of Fisher Seeds in Dauphin. “The (insurance) deadline is about May 25…. Most guys, when it got to the end of May, decided not to plant.” Fisher said there was a shortage of fababean seed in Manitoba over the winter because grower demand was much higher than previous years. “We had more interest than we had seed,” he said, adding seed is available now because Manitoba producers backed away from the crop. Fababeans should be seeded as early as possible because the crop doesn’t tolerate hot weather during flowering. “In years past, we always wanted to have our beans in in April,” Fisher said. “Not so much for the maturity.

They’re basically a cool season crop, so you want to avoid the heat stress in July.” Phelps said growers in northwestern Saskatchewan seeded fababeans early this spring. “They’re up and looking good,” she said. Phelps wasn’t sure about the eastern half of the province, but Risula said conditions were favourable for fababean seeding in the southeast. Fababeans are grow n for the human consumption and livestock market. The Middle East is the primary market for human consumption. Risula said some processors are looking at breaking fababeans down into components because they contain 24 to 30 percent protein. Fababean advocates have long touted the promise of feeding the crop to livestock, particularly pigs, but that concept has never taken off in Western Canada. Fisher said it’s easier for hog producers to buy other more readily available feed. “They want a constant supply. We can’t criticize them for not using them. It’s so much easier to pick up the phone and order a load of soybean meal than it is to locate some fababeans.”

Canadian farmers are carrying more debt than ever. According to figures from Statistics Canada, total farm debt increased by $5 billion in 2013 to a record $78 billion. It’s the biggest debt load ever carried by the country’s agricultural producers and the biggest year-to-year increase ever recorded in Canada. Total farm debt was $72.7 billion a year earlier. Some observers have suggested that the level of indebtedness in the farm sector is too high. They argue that producers’ ability to service their debts would be severely compromised should historically low interest rates return to more normal levels. In addition, much of the equity held by Canadian farmers is tied up in farmland. Farmland values are higher than ever in Western Canada, which suggests far mers’ exposure could become unmanageable if values begin to fall. Michael Hoffort, incoming president of Farm Credit Canada, said farmers should leave themselves room to manage fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and farmland values. That said, incomes in the agriculture sector have increased significantly and the outlook for Canada’s agriculture sector looks promising. “By and large, the increase that we’re seeing in farm debt is in line

with what we’re seeing in growth in farm incomes,” said Hoffort. “Compare that to what you’re seeing in the consumer sector, where there’s some concern about consumer debt, and it’s quite a different story.… Consumer incomes are quite a bit more flat than what’s taking place in Canadian agriculture.” Hoffort said there are indications that Canada’s historically low lending rates will begin to edge upward in the next year or so. However, any increase that takes place is likely to be gradual, giving farm borrowers plenty of time to adjust to higher carrying costs. Hoffort said FCC is anticipating a soft landing rather than a reduction in farmland values. “Historically, farmers have held a lot of equity in real estate … so whether there’s downside risk in farmland values could be argued,” he said. “I don’t think we’ve crossed any line there of any sort, but it’s always prudent for farmers to manage their operations effectively.” According to Statistics Canada, chartered banks were the largest farm lenders as of Dec. 31, 2013, with a total farm lending portfolio worth nearly $28 billion Federal lending agencies, including Farm Credit Canada, were second with a total portfolio of nearly $23 billion. Farm loans from credit unions were valued at $12 billion while outstanding loans through advance payment programs were listed at nearly $1.65 billion.

Canada was the first country to begin free trade negotiations with South Korea in 2005, but since then the country has signed pacts with the European Union, the United States and Chile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went from being the leaders to being the laggards and serious laggards,â&#x20AC;? said Ron Davidson, director of government and media relations with the Canadian Meat Council. The agreement was held up by disputes surrounding the automobile sector and the reopening of trade following the BSE crisis. In the meantime, competitors such as the U.S. have been gaining increased access to an affluent market of 50 million people that imports a lot of food. The U.S. agreement with Korea was implemented in March 2012.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been losing market share and volume dramatically,â&#x20AC;? said Davidson. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meat exports to Korea have shrunk to $8 million for beef and $76 million for pork in 2013 from $96 million and $233 million, respectively, in 2011. Exports of beef have contracted another 56 percent this year, while pork sales are down 24 percent from the same time a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The longer weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of it the further behind we get,â&#x20AC;? said Davidson. Import tariffs are 40 percent for chilled and frozen beef, 22.5 percent for chilled pork and 25 percent for frozen pork.

Tariffs on fresh, chilled and frozen beef cuts will be eliminated over 15 years. Fresh and chilled pork duties will be removed over 13 years while tariffs on frozen pork will shrink to zero over five years. The canola industry is also pleased that the federal government has published the final text of the agreement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure (the agreement) has gotten the kind of profile that maybe it should,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Everson, vicepresident of government relations with the Canola Council of Canada. He believes the Korean pact has been dwarfed by the recently negotiated deal with the EU and talks on the

Trans-Pacific Partnership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is really delivering true free trade in a sense, reducing tariffs to zero,â&#x20AC;? said Everson. The 10 percent tariff on canola seed would be immediately eliminated upon implementation of the agreement. The five percent tariff on refined and crude canola oil would be phased out over three years and seven years, respectively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly the start of a new environment that is conducive to trade, so over the longer term it could turn into a pretty significant market by the fact that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tariff-free,â&#x20AC;? said Everson.

Seed sales to South Korea have been sporadic at best and non-existent in many years. Oil exports have averaged $60 to $90 million annually, but Canada has been losing ground to U.S. soybean oil, which has been facing reduced tariffs since March 2012. Everson said Canadian negotiators did a good job of keeping canola oil phase-outs comparable to U.S. soybean oil phase-outs, which are five years for refined soybean oil and 10 years for crude soybean oil. The council anticipates that canola oil sales will double under the new trade agreement.

CWB, PWT deal done BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CWB is now the sole owner of Prairie West Terminal Ltd. near Plenty, Sask., but PWT customers will not see immediate changes. From the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, it will be business as usual, says CWBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief strategy officer, Dayna Spiring. â&#x20AC;&#x153; There arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any immediate changes planned,â&#x20AC;? Spiring said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CWB is acquiring PWT â&#x20AC;Ś but we are not planning on making any changes â&#x20AC;Ś (and) we are keeping all of the employeesâ&#x20AC;Ś. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot to learn from PWT. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited about the opportunity and alternatively, we think that they can learn a lot from our trading staff as well â&#x20AC;Ś.â&#x20AC;? CWB announced June 6 that the deal to acquire PWT has been complete. The announcement followed a May 30 meeting at which PWT shareholders voted 99.5 percent in favour of the transaction. The $43 million deal includes a modern concrete elevator near Dodsland, Sask., and four wooden elevators at Kindersley, Luseland, Plenty and Dodsland. Together, the facilities include more than 78,000 tonnes of storage, a high capacity grain cleaning line, high throughput dryer, colour sorters and high throughput rail loading. CWB had been a minority shareholder in PWT prior to the deal. It owned roughly 12 percent of PWTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding shares while Mission Terminal Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CWB, owned another 2.1 percent. The June 6 deal will allow another CWB subsidiary, CWB Subco., to acquire the remaining 85.8 percent of outstanding PWT shares at a price of approximately $2,100 per share.

ALBERTA WATER | FLOODS

Alta. gov’t plans thorough look at flood control projects Options to consider | Flood mitigation official says government wants to work quickly on projects but won’t be skipping steps BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The Alberta government is promising not to cut corners on future flood protection projects, but it also wants to work quickly before the next big event arrives. “We will be doing all the required regulatory work accompanying any project like this,” Cathy Maniego told the Bow River Basin Council’s annual meeting in Calgary June 11. “We are looking to see what we can do concurrently and we are looking to see what we can do quickly, but we are definitely not skipping steps.” Maniego works with the flood mitigation and recovery program that works under the umbrella of Alberta environment and sustainable resource development. Various pro-

posals are moving forward to manage future floods and droughts. Most recently, the province and TransAlta Corp. agreed to initiate a pilot project to keep the Ghost Reservoir west of Calgary at its minimum water levels until the end of July. The reservoir could reduce risk to those downstream if it can capture high water flows. TransAlta has estimated that the peak of the 2013 flood could have been as much as 25 percent higher than observed in Calgary and as much as 45 percent higher than experienced in Canmore without its storage facilities, which are normally used for electricity generation. The province is also considering building off-stream storage near Calgary at Springbank and a dry dam west of the city at the confluence of

the Elbow River and McLean Creek. A Highwood River diversion to bypass the town of High River is under consideration with three options. Another possibility is an underground diversion tunnel within the city of Calgary that could cost as much as $500 million. The public has also said it wants better forecasting. Earlier this year, the government contracted Hydrologics Water Management of Maryland, which uses real time data, advanced forecasts and computer simulations to develop possible scenarios in the South Saskatchewan River basin. “These are statistically based forecasts. They do not include meteorology. You cannot forecast meteorology terribly effectively for three months out,” said company presi-

dent Dan Sheer. “There is no way to guarantee you will never be flooded.” He said the probability of extreme events this year is higher than normal but not extraordinarily so because the predictions are based on statistics. They look at the depth of the snow pack, which is higher than normal this year, and stream flows and predict the likelihood of certain events based on current conditions and past events. For example, analysts know that the Calgary region typically receives the most rainfall and snow melt between May 15 and July 15. The work produced 27 potential stream flows between now and three months out. Based on these models, water managers are able to make better decisions as they try to control stream flows and lessen damage.

Damage can occur when rivers are flowing at 500 cubic metres per second. Last year, stream flows were more than 1,700 cubic metres per second. If a flood similar to last year’s is expected, operators may decide to start holding back water upstream in storage to reduce the flow. The company is also working in the Red Deer watershed to combine projected land use models with hydrologic models for long-term decisions and water supply forecasting. “These tools need to evolve to reflect the current conditions, just like they already reflect current snow pack and antecedent flows,” Sheer said. “They should also reflect the land use conditions.” These forecasting systems should eventually be expanded to all Alberta if funding is available, he said.

FOOD SAFETY | BEEF RECALL

Missouri meat company recalls 1,800 kilograms of beef over BSE concerns (Reuters) — A Missouri slaughterhouse has recalled 1,800 kilograms of fresh beef because the nervous tissue that may contain the BSE disease prion may not have been properly removed from the meat before shipment, a federal food safety agency said.

The recalled bone-in ribeye roasts and quartered carcasses from Jackson, Missouri-based Fruitland American Meat were delivered to restaurants in New York City and Kansas City, Missouri, as well as a Whole Foods distribution centre in Connecticut that services the region,

the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a statement on June 11. The agency said no adverse events have been reported. T h e U S D A’s Fo o d Sa f e t y a n d Inspection Service discovered the problem during a review of the company’s slaughter logs. Reviewers

found the firm may not have removed dorsal root ganglia tissue from cattle aged 30 months and older, in violation of federal regulations. That tissue is considered a risk material because it can contain the proteins responsible for BSE in affected cows. The disease is transmissible to

humans and can be fatal. The agency rated the health risk of the recall as low. In April, a Texas man became the fourth person in the country to die of a fatal brain illness thought to be caused by BSE, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION | SERVICE COMPLAINT

Interim order sides with shipper in complaint Louis Dreyfus lodged complaint with CTA | CN is ordered to uphold terms of service agreement while process continues BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Transportation Agency has issued an interim order requiring Canadian National Railway to uphold the terms of its service agreement with Louis Dreyfus Commodities Canada Ltd. CTA officials issued the interim order in early May, less than a month after Louis Dreyfus filed a level of service complaint against the railway, claiming CN was failing to deliver rail cars and was not upholding the terms of its service contract. An edited version of the CTA’s interim order was distributed to the media June 12. It stated that the CTA had ordered CN “to provide train service for placement of empty cars for loading and pick-up of loaded cars” at Louis Dreyfus’s facilities in Glenavon, Sask., Aberdeen, Sask., Joffre, Alta., and Lyalta, Alta. The interim order will remain in effect until the CTA hears arguments from CN and Louis Dreyfus and issues a final decision on a level of service complaint that Louis Dreyfus filed against CN on April 14. C TA s p o k e s p e r s o n C h a n t a l Laflamme said there is no deadline by which a final ruling in the case must be issued.

The interim order will remain in effect until the Canadian Transportation Agency hears the case. | “This is an interim decision … on this case, and the agency will continue to assess the complaint,” Laflamme said. “Once they are ready … the agency will issue (a final ruling).” CN officials declined to comment on the interim ruling, but company spokesperson Mark Hallman said in an email that CN is appealing. “While it is not at liberty to discuss the specifics of the Dreyfus complaint, CN notes that it is fully meet-

ing its obligations under the federal government’s order in council regarding the transportation of grain,” the email said. “The issue before the CTA in the Dreyfus case ultimately concerns the allocation of rail capacity. The record crop has created a demand for rail services that exceeds the capacity of the supply chain. In that context, CN has had to allocate capacity among market partici-

pants. Throughout this crop year, CN has followed a car allocation policy that ensured shippers were treated fairly and consistently.” Hallman said affording one shipper preferential treatment will come at the expense of the rest of the industry. Historically, the number of level of service complaints filed against the railways to the CTA has been low. However, two groups — Louis Dreyfus Commodities and the Cana-

dian Canola Growers Association — have filed formal complaints this year, arguing that CN and/or Canadian Pacific Railway failed to fulfill their contractual obligations. Laflamme said both sides in the Louis Dreyfus complaint will have an opportunity to submit arguments and responses. The CTA normally issues a final decision within 90 days once the “pleading process” is complete.

CROP IMPROVEMENT WORKSHOP | LIGHT BEAMS

Scientists look to synchrotron for plant research Canadian Light Source | Plant scientists discuss how sophisticated imaging facility may shed new light on crop development BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Plant scientists from around the world were in Saskatoon last week for a high-level brainstorming session

aimed at increasing scientific knowledge of common crops such as wheat and canola. Approximately 200 researchers attended the Synchrotron Imaging for Crop Improvement Workshop,

w h i c h w a s h e l d Ju n e 1 0 - 1 2 i n Saskatoon. Saskatoon is home to the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, a sophisticated imaging machine that uses beams of light to examine

materials in minute detail. Synchrotron imaging has been used for years in fields of study such as medical research and engineering. Only recently have plant scientists begun using the machine to take a closer look at the inner workings of complex plants systems such as root structures, flowers and physiological responses to pathogens. Last week’s workshop, sponsored by Ag-West Bio and the Canadian Light Source, was aimed at exploring the application of synchrotron light for imaging plants. Wilf Keller, president and chief executive officer of Ag-West Bio, said the use of synchrotron imaging by plant scientists is in its early stages. However, the information gleaned through facilities such as the Canadian Light Source in Saskatoon could have far-reaching benefits. “This is by no means a tool that’s going to be used in plant breeding in the next little while,” Keller said. “But it’s going to help set the stage for some basic information that can be used to develop new varieties down the road.” Keller said synchrotron imaging could be used to examine many parts of a plant including seeds, roots and flowers. For example, learning more about root density and root structure could reveal important clues about a plant’s ability to use water and nutrients. “Roots have been kind of elusive

to work with because it’s hard to study them … hard to see them,” he said. “But with the type of technology that’s now available at the synchrotron, it will be possible to peer into that root to look at the internal structures, not just the surface.” Similarly, plant scientists who use light beams to examine root structures could also glean important information about susceptibility to root borne diseases and the formation of root nodules by common pulse crops. “We may be able to get some important clues so that we can make these plants even better fixers and trappers of nitrogen,” he said. Plant pathologists could also gain clues about a plant’s susceptibility to common diseases such as fusarium, sclerotinia and clubroot. “The very early stages of infection are still a bit of a black box to us, so this is something that the (synchrotron) research might be able to uncover.” Through the Agriculture Development Fund, the Saskatchewan government has already committed $250,000 to a proof-of-concept project that will use the synchrotron to study the structures of various crops grown in the province. The Synchrotron Light for Crop Improvement project will use the CLS facility in Saskatoon to look at seed, root and flowering structures of wheat, canola and lentils and other common agricultural crops.

An Alberta family is offering a $25,000 reward for the recovery of 59 mixed breed heifers believed stolen from a farm near Czar. The theft was noticed earlier this spring when owner Allan Hobbs did a monthly head count. They are feeder heifers weighing about 600 pounds and are valued at $80,000. The Hobbs family is offering the reward for information leading to the recovery of the cattle and an arrest and conviction of those responsible. Cpl. Dave Heaslip of the RCMP’s northern livestock investigation unit in Alberta said there are two farm sites, and 192 head were in a feedlot on one of the sites. Gates had been opened to allow the cattle to walk back and forth to water and an 80 acre pasture. The cattle were probably loaded onto a stock trailer. There is no evidence they escaped to another property. “We suspect someone was watching very carefully and knew their routine,” said Heaslip. The cattle are tagged and carry the Hobbs’ brand, which is a Lazy H C running bar.

We suspect someone was watching very carefully and knew their routine. CPL. DAVE HEASLIP RCMP

The RCMP and Livestock Inspection Services are working together, and alerts have been sent to inspected livestock markets in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. Heaslip said there have been smaller thefts in the last year, and in some cases the cattle were not branded or tagged. The high value of cattle makes its imperative to properly identify livestock so they can be recovered, he added. “Tag them, brand them. It is the best insurance.” People with information about this crime are asked to call their local RCMP detachment or police service or Heaslip at 780-289-5510 or 403896-0105. Anonymous calls may be made to Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 (TIPS). The program offers a $2,000 reward if information leads to an arrest.

Young B.C. farmers in short supply Farm community | Officials look to attract new farmers with skills training and mentorship BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ALDERGROVE, B.C. — British Columbia has the lowest percentage of farmers younger than 35 in Canada and the highest average age of farm operators at 56, according to Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census of Agriculture. A report prepared this year for South Coast Community Futures and the B.C. agriculture ministry made nine recommendations aimed at attracting young entrepreneurs and sustaining primary and secondary agricultural operations. They include more government support, skills training, farm internships, incubator farms and mentorship. Mark Robbins, a retired regional agrologist, prepared the report, A Path to New Farm Business Success, with his daughter, Jill Robbins, vicepresident of B.C. Young Farmers. The Robbins, who produce pasture raised poultry near Aldergrove, say family farms are not seeing as many of their members continue to farm as in the past, so a new source of operators needs to be tapped.

Mark Robbins says new farmers need skills training and guidance from older generations. “We have to start getting young farmers from elsewhere,” she said. Jill said there is a growing movement of young urban residents interested in finding sustainable and economical ways to grow food, citing the Young Agrarians as an example. “We want to know how to support them,” she said. The Robbins say farming will be a steep learning curve for newcomers, so skills training and knowl-

edge transfer between generations have to happen first. “Most need about two to three years on their own plot, with support,” said Mark. The report recommends that the agriculture ministry and the B.C. Agriculture Council create start-up programs for new farmers, including a farm mentor, access to land and small operating loans. At the Robbins’ farm, a young market gardener is growing vegetables to sell from the family’s farm store. “Most farmers have a quarter or half acre they could do without,” said Jill. “It allows someone to get a start and see if they can make a business out of it.” Farmland prices are high in the Fraser Valley, at $50,000 to $100,000 an acre, but specialty operations catering to niche markets like the Robbins’ can generate $30,000 an acre on seven acres. “I look at farming as a business and it’s a good business,” Mark said. “It works for intensive operations. We’re not growing grain here.” Jill, who lives in Mission, B.C., with her husband and works part

time in mediation, would like to run the family’s operation or buy land nearby, but said young farmers face many barriers. “As it stands right now, it could not sustain two families. It needs to grow,” she said. In her interviews with aspiring growers, she found most are looking for mentorship, access to land through leasing options and financing. “They are businesspeople,” she said. “They want to give it a real shot, to make a profit and to work hard and put in the time and effort to get there.” The Fraser Valley’s good soil and water, when combined with a mild climate and close proximity to markets and services, offer ideal conditions for farming, she said. Jill said diverse, small and large operations are workable in the Fraser Valley, noting how her farm uses a commercial poultry operator just minutes from the farm to process 3,600 chickens and 1,200 turkeys. “We need a little of both for a healthy mix.”

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Proposed changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve could lead to higher farmland prices and make agricultural operations untenable for younger farmers. Farmers in the regions affected by the proposals, which include areas in northern B.C. and the Kootenays, say they need to do more than farm on their land to make a living. However, the argument raises red flags for Jill Robbins, a young poultry producer near Aldergrove who believes commercial businesses should operate in industrial zones. “Anything other than farming on farmland is a problem,” she said. “It’s a bad economic development policy to have businesses competing at two different tax structures in the same community.” B.C. Young Farmers directors Mark Siemens, 26, and Gurtaj Sandhu, 22, both hope to establish farms near Abbotsford within the next five years. Siemens became involved with BCYF to protect agriculture in the Fraser Valley for future generations of his family, which operates a 20 acre raspberry orchard and 100,000 laying hen operation. “I see it as a responsibility I have to ensure the future of agriculture in my region,” he said. For him, farming offers a good work-life balance. “I have the physical labour, but my mind is stimulated by the business side, improving the bottom line and adding efficiencies to the farm,” he said. Siemens likes the idea of protecting farmland but questioned some ALR practices. “What’s taken out of ALR and what’s swapped in is often less than ideal farmland,” he said. He is concerned about allowing people to do minimal amounts of farming to obtain farm status for tax purposes and then erect large estates on prime farmland. “That drives up the prices for people trying to start up,” said Siemens. Sandhu, who manages his parents’ 30 acre blueberry farm, called the cost of land “ridiculous.” “Land prices make it hard for a young guy to get up and go start a farm,” he said. Sandhu is completing a diploma course in horticulture and has offfarm jobs selling horticultural supplies and operating a magazine called Modern Agriculture. He said it’s hard to compete with large operations in the valley. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

He said leasing land is a viable option, provided the banks offer affordable financing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reasonable interest rates and profit sharing would make it easier to get started,â&#x20AC;? he said. Siemens recently returned to the farm and is hoping to buy and expand the farm with his brother in the next five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming up with the capital for supply managed (operations) is difficult,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Other challenges for Siemensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; farm include cross-border shopping and easy access to cheaper products just a short drive away in the United States and a strong animal welfare movement in nearby Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to provide the best animal care, but (practices like) free range increases the costs of production,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Book offers ways to calm troubled waters Family conflict | Unresolved issues can lead to serious consequences for farm operations BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A familiar anecdote of a woman on her wedding day is shared on motherinlawstories.com. In it, the mother-in-law asks the bride to step aside during a photo session so she could have some pictures of â&#x20AC;&#x153;her family.â&#x20AC;? The bride moves out of the frame and is fuming on the sidelines, while her freshly minted husband shrugs his shoulders and smiles for the camera. Mother-in-law stories are commonplace in all spheres of society, but in-law tension and hostility are a particularly vexing problem on family farms, say the authors of a new book on the subject. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The classic line is: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;everything was fine until she came along,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; referring to the daughter-in-law,â&#x20AC;? said Megan McKenzie, who collaborated with Elaine Froese to write Farmingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s InLaw Factor: How to have more harmony and less conflict on family farms. The book cover has an illustration with 15 eggs. Fourteen eggs are white and one is brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of these is not like the other,â&#x20AC;? Froese said. McKenzie and Froese, both of Boissevain, Man., have an immense knowledge of family and interpersonal discord. McKenzie works as a conflict

consultant and has a PhD in conflict resolution. Froese is a profession speaker, writer and farm family coach who specializes in succession planning. Froese came up with the idea for the book after listening to dozens of stories of discord on family farms.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I was finding in my coaching practice is the same conversation or thread kept re-occurring,â&#x20AC;? said Froese, who farms near Boissevain, Man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I do family meetingsâ&#x20AC;Ś and I ask the mom what she wants for the farm familyâ&#x20AC;Ś. in 80 percent of the cases (the) first words are, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want my family to get along.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? McKenzie, who grew up on a farm, collaborated with Froese on the book because personal conflict is a pervasive problem on Canadian farms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A farm family has their own way of being, their ow n way of doing thingsâ&#x20AC;Ś. And you have somebody coming from a different farm family, or different city family.â&#x20AC;? McKenzie said established families often view their new daughter- or son-in-law as a threat to their traditions and stability rather than â&#x20AC;&#x153;a new resource with skills and wisdom to bring to the family unit.â&#x20AC;? The co-authors interviewed a number of farmers for the book and relied upon the experience of Froese, who has coached more than 600 farm families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the examples we use in the book are conglomerates. One classic (example) is where the mother-inlaw and daughter-in-law are sitting in an accountantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office talking about the transition of the family farm,â&#x20AC;? Froese said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The daughter-in-law makes a comment, which the mother-in-law takes huge offence to and they stop talking for the next six months.â&#x20AC;? Froese said farm families excel at agronomy, technology and production, but often struggle with family relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conflict avoidance is one of the biggest issues in farm familiesâ&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hurting agriculture.â&#x20AC;? Personal strife within families and being treated as an outsider isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exclusive to farms, but the realities of rural life can exacerbate the stress, McKenzie said. Problems at work are usually separate from family, but that rule doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to farming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of it is how closely connected the family and the farm are,â&#x20AC;? McKenzie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like the day you act as business people and at evening have your family time. The twoâ&#x20AC;Ś are so enmeshed.â&#x20AC;?

WHAT HELPS RESOLVE OR MITIGATE FARM FAMILY CONFLICTS? â&#x20AC;˘ When a person marries into a farm family, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to judge their beliefs, habits and ideas. A healthier approach is curiosity about and respect for the new personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspectives. â&#x20AC;˘ Hold face-to-face meetings, facilitated by a professional or outsider, to discuss concerns, grievances and confusion â&#x20AC;˘ Recognize the gifts and talents of in-laws. â&#x20AC;˘ Treat in-laws as equals, not as children. â&#x20AC;˘ Offer assistance or advice when asked. â&#x20AC;˘ Be quick to apologize when wrong. â&#x20AC;˘ Be open to learning from all members of family, including in-laws. Froese said the simplest things can cause tension between the generations on a farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your mother-in-law judging the colour of the paint on the walls that used to belong to her.â&#x20AC;? Froese and McKenzie said unresolved quarrels can have dramatic or subtle consequences. It might lead to divorce and the dissolution of the farm or cause productivity losses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I call it distracted management,â&#x20AC;? Froese said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The conflict is sucking emotional energy from the family and from the energy that should be going into running a fantastic business.â&#x20AC;? The book offers a great deal of detail on in-laws, including chapters on each family member. McKenzie said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not harder to be the new woman on the farm compared to the new man, but there is a gender difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The daughter-in-law ends up in conflict with the mother-in-law and the son-in-law ends up in conflict with the father-in-law.â&#x20AC;? McKenzie and Froese launched their book June 6 in Boissevain. For more information, visit ww.elainefroese.com or farmingsinlawfactor.com.

hen going to the park or lake or playing in the backyard, ensuring that the children have nutritious food for a picnic lunch or snack will give them the energy they need and make everyone’s day happy and fun. A picnic on a blanket with finger foods served on a paper plate is a great way to encourage children to relax, eat and socialize. Offer a variety of food, including proteins, fresh vegetables with a mild dip, fruit, a beverage and a muffin, pita chips or crackers. Active children need protein food like cheese, yogurt, meat, eggs or legumes for growth and energy. Cut cheese into finger size sticks or interesting shapes with cookie cutters. Yogurt could be served as a dip for fruit or included in a smoothie. Roll meat slices so they are easy for little hands to hold. Hard boiled eggs can be peeled and cut into quarters or remove the yolks and mix with a little mayonnaise and re-stuff the egg white. An alternative is to make a tuna salad mixture to fill the yolkless egg whites. Cooked beans, lentils or chickpeas can be blended smooth to make a dip or used as a spread on bread or crackers. Clean and prepare fresh vegetables. Use a wavy cutter to make interesting carrot coins and cucumber slices. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into small florets and slice cherry tomatoes in half or quarters. Consider adding edible pod peas or fresh beans.

GLEN VALLEY, B.C. — It started with selling pumpkins on the honour system by placing a sign and a jar at the end of the farm lane in 1988. However, Albert and Dorothy Anderson’s business eventually morphed into Aldor Acres Family Farm, a destination in the Fraser Valley for families, schools and others seeking to learn more about agriculture. This spring morning, Montessori preschoolers sit on a wagon pulled by a tractor ambling past pens of goats, thickets of trees and farm fields. “When we talk to people, we try to educate them on where their food comes from,” said Alber t, who worked as a veterinarian for 35 years. “The population we deal with is three generations removed from (the farm).… We’ve got two million people within 45 minutes, and a subdivision within five minutes.… That’s what makes it work, a concentration of people. It’s an easy place to go for half a day.” The Andersons grow U-pick vegetables, sell preserves made from their own fruit and house animals from pigs, cows and goats to horses, donkeys and chickens on their 80 acres. “Pumpkins are our main crop, with 95 percent of them going for decoration,” said Albert. Some of their children farm nearby

on another 80 acres of Anderson land. Their son, Mark, and his wife, Leanna, grow trees for the Christmas season, their son, Brian, and his wife, Erin, operate a dairy and their daughter, Gail, and her husband, Bob, have an apple orchard. Aldor Acres adds 25 staff at harvest, with the Andersons and their granddaughter, Melissa Anderson, 25, serving as the main farm workers. “It’s just three of us the rest of the time,” Albert said. The Andersons tried wholesaling pumpkins in the early years but had poor returns. “(Stores) want us to grow them for next to nothing,” said Albert. “It took us two years to figure that out.” The farm, which leases some of its animals to a petting zoo from May to September, hosts school groups, birthday parties and family reunions. “People are so desperate now for space, to let their kids run in the grass. They can see them 30 feet away and don’t have to hold their hands,” said Albert. Dorothy said the children come with their school and then often return later with relatives. “We’ve done it so long that now the grandparents are bringing their grandkids,” she said. Dorothy said patience and people skills are needed in this business because many children have never had any experience with animals. “So that’s why we do it,” she said.

RURAL OFFICIAL | JOB DESCRIPTION

Serving as rural municipal councillors carries responsibilities A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

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

Melissa Anderson shows tour participants how worms turn waste into compost. “We had no idea when we started what it would grow into.” Albert said the business doubled every year during the first decade in operation. “We could never do this if we had to buy land,” he added, conceding there is not enough here to support two families. “Melissa cannot buy the farm from us and support herself on what the return is. It’s a good business for one family.” They are thankful that the Agricultural Land Reserve protects their farmland from commercial development in the rural municipality of Langley. Melissa joined them in the business after completing a degree and playing hockey at Boston College and travelling abroad. “I like to be outside, to have the freedom to reap the benefits, to see the progress you make each day,” she said. “I like working for myself, putting a smile on people’s faces.” Dorothy and Albert spend a month in Arizona each year so are pleased to have Melissa in her home across the yard from them. “Age creeps up on us,” said Dorothy. She and Albert act as overseers and Melissa does most of the tours, website, social media campaigns and marketing. “We fill in when she can’t,” said Albert. The trio were all involved in 4-H. Dorothy and Albert, who met through the group, were involved as members and leaders and served on the district councils and at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver, where they supplied animals for 4-H judging competitions. Today, they house a 4-H project calf on site for a girl living on an acreage. The Andersons said Melissa has brought many new ideas to the farm business, including community service projects to raise funds for causes such as Special Olympics. “We can’t always say no, we’ve got to let her try,” said Dorothy. Melissa, who will ease into more of the business during the next five years, isn’t planning wholesale changes. “Things will just evolve as things come up,” she said. Her goal is to provide children with a hands-on farm experience, connection to livestock and education in food production. She wants to introduce young visitors to what she experienced here as a child, doing chores, hiking and harvesting vegetables. “A little taste of everything while they get dirty,” she said.

I have been approached to let my name stand as a councillor in my rural municipality in Saskatchewan. I know generally what that entails, but what are some of the legal implications?

Municipal government has often been described as the level

of government closest to the people. In common language, this is “where the rubber hits the road.” Other levels of government are federal and provincial. Municipalities are a creation of, and are given authority from, the province. I recommend you look at the Municipal Council Member’s Handbook available online and produced by the Ministry of Government Relations in Saskatchewan. Municipal government, over the four western provinces, is fairly similar in its setup. In Saskatchewan, the main governing legislation is the Municipalities Act. It provides the legal framework for the municipal councils to provide governance and make decisions at a local level, tak-

ing into account the needs of their community. The act sets out the power to pass bylaws and levy taxes. If you are elected to council, your duties are: • To represent the public, keeping in mind the best interests of the municipality • To participate in making and evaluating the policies, services and programs of the municipality • To participate in council and committee meetings and meetings of other council bodies • To make sure the administration is in place to do the work of the municipality • To keep in confidence matters discussed in private until they come to public meetings

• To maintain the financial integrity of the municipality. These duties are weighty. Also, you must be careful to avoid conflict of interest. If you or a family member has a financial interest in a proposed municipal project where you could make a profit or suffer financial consequences, there are rules for a councillor declaring that interest and staying out of the decision making. Serving as councillor is an opportunity to give back and make things better in the community. This article is presented for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

CROP REPORT ALL CONDITIONS AS OF JUNE 13. VISIT WWW.PRODUCER.COM REGULARLY FOR UPDATED CROP REPORTS

MANITOBA SOUTHWEST This area has been hardest hit with excess moisture. Rain throughout the week resulted in amounts ranging from 10 to 50 millimetres. Some producers are inquiring about planting greenfeed. Some are broadcast seeding, but the practice is not widespread. Overall, seeding progress is almost three quarters complete. While some producers are almost completed, others are struggling to get seed in the ground and have planted only 10 percent. Warm temperatures are creating rapidly emerging crops. Winter wheat and fall rye are at the tillering stage. Weed control is well underway. There’s a major concern with flea beetles in most areas. Cutworm damage is also being reported in some areas. NORTHWEST The seeding average is threequarters complete, but continued precipitation has made an impact with amounts varying from 12 to more than 25 mm. Only 50 percent of the intended soybean crop has been seeded. Some hail and heavy rain damage was also reported in the Swan Valley areas. Crops are generally emerging quickly and uniformly. Peas are leading the way with 90 percent emergence compared to less than 10 percent of soybeans. Reports of insect activity remain low. CENTRAL Seeding is nearing completion. Rainfall varied from five to more than 25 mm. Some hail and low temperatures were reported, but no reports of injury. All crops have seen rapid germination, emergence and growth. Many cereals have advanced to the five leaf stage and tillering. The majority of canola is in the cotyledon to two leaf stage. Soybeans have minimal issues due to crusting. Corn growth ranges from emerging to six leaves. Most herbicide applications for winter wheat are completed. Fungicide applications will be a challenge to time properly. Foxtail is showing up in some areas. Pressure from flea beetles is starting to wane in areas. Several fields were reseeded because of heavy flea beetle and cutworm damage. EASTERN Seeding is almost complete for most, but some areas are only half way due to excessive moisture. Cumulative rainfall varied from 12 to 24 mm. It’s anticipated that many producers will be finished the first herbicide pass on all of their emerged acres. Some winter wheat stands were terminated because of damage caused by wireworms, excess moisture and winterkill. Damage from flea beetles is being reported in many fields. Some fields have now been sprayed twice while others have been reseeded. Grain corn in some fields have been

sprayed for cutworm damage. Haying has begun in some areas.

flea beetles, which caused most of the crop damage.

INTERLAKE

ALBERTA

This area leads the province with seeding almost completed or completed. Two to 15 mm of precipitation were welcomed for later seeded crops. Spraying of spring cereals and oilseeds is generally underway. Canola stands are experiencing damage caused by flea beetles, warranting insecticide applications in some fields. Cutworms damage is also reported. Forage seed acres were also sprayed for weed control.

SASKATCHEWAN SOUTH Producers made great seeding progress and are well ahead of the five year average. Drier conditions allowed many farmers to complete seeding, while others will be done soon. However, cooler weather has prevailed and some areas could remain unseeded because of excess moisture. The Limerick area was the wettest, receiving 52 mm, while other areas received trace amounts to 50 mm. Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland have generally improved and average 78 percent adequate. Cool weather is delaying crop development in many eastern areas, which lags normal development by about a week. Crop damage is attributed to localized flooding, hail, minimal frost, high winds, drought and insects. Many producers continue to spray for flea beetles and cutworms in canola. There are reports that some fields are being reseeded because of cutworms, flea beetles and localized flooding. CENTRAL Seeding has significantly advanced and is nearing completion. Some wet acres will likely remain unseeded unless warmer weather arrives soon. However, many producers have finished seeding and are starting in-crop herbicide and fertilizer top-dressing applications. The topsoil moisture condition for most cropland averages 80 percent adequate. Hayland and pasture topsoil moisture is rated slightly higher at 84 percent adequate. Most crops are in good condition, but cooler temperatures are delaying development. Some areas reported damage from localized flooding, hail, wind and frost. Flea beetles continue to damage canola, and some producers are spraying. NORTH Many producers made significant progress, and seeding is nearing completion. However, cool, wet weather continues to hamper plant growth. The wettest area was Dorintosh, which received 36 mm. Eighty percent of the cropland soil moisture conditions are rated as adequate. Hayland and pastures are significantly better, averaging 92 percent adequate. Producers continue to spray for

SOUTH With seeding complete, conditions are relatively close to ideal with minimal stress caused by excess moisture, drought or disease pressure. However, cool weather has delayed normal crop development by seven to 10 days. Rainfall varied from trace amounts to about 20 mm. Many producers are beginning to ask for more rain but there are no visible signs of stress due to lack of moisture. Wheat spraying is about three quarters complete and much of the first herbicide application for canola and pulses is done. CENTRAL Seeding is wrapped up and a few days of warm weather has helped further crop development, although they lag about a week from normal years. Precipitation varied from 25 to 40 mm across the region with the western half receiving more moisture. Most cereals crops are in the two to four leaf stage. Canola is in the one to three leaf stage. Leaf diseases are beginning to show on cereals. NORTHEAST Most seeding is complete with only barley remaining. Precipitation ranged from 25 to 50 mm. About 20 percent of farm acres have excessive moisture and about two percent will go unseeded. The area is reportedly 10 to 12 days behind normal crop development. Most wheat is at the three leaf stage; canola from cotyledon to three leaf; peas and fababeans at four nodes; and barley at one to two leaf. Damage from flea beetles is reported to be about 10 percent but crops are staying ahead and outgrowing them. NORTHWEST Seeding is basically finished with only some silage (oats and barley) fields left as topsoil dries. Rainfall varied widely from 15 to 50 mm with prevailing cooler weather compared to normal years. Topsoil moisture conditions for croplands, hay land and pastures are rated excellent. Many producers are waiting to spray due to excessive moisture. PEACE Most producers have finished seeding and are applying herbicides. Rainfall varied from trace amounts to about 25 mm. Weather has gradually warmed and crop emergence and development is progressing well with normal development compared to previous years.

DRESDEN, Ont. — Two Ontario honey producers say regulations governing container sizes in Canada are getting in the way of common sense. Astrid Manske and her husband, David Moffat, of OtonoBee Apiary near Peterborough have been selling honey in half-litre and one-litre Mason jars. The honey in the jars weighs 650 grams and 1.33 kilograms, respectively. That’s out of spec, according an April 24 ruling by James D. Richardson, a director under Ontario’s Food Safety and Quality Act. Richardson cites the act, which refers to the federal government’s honey regulations under the Agricultural Products Act. Honey can be packed in containers that hold 500 grams, 750 grams, one kg, 1.5 kg and various other weights but not 650 grams or 1.33 kg. “The net weights of the honey sold by OtonoBee Apiary are 650 grams and 1.33 kg. Neither of these weights is listed in the federal honey regulations,” Richards ruled. There is a provision for latitude in the federal regulations: “Notwithstanding anything contained in this section, the minister may permit the sale of honey packed in novelty containers of non-standard sizes.” However, Manske said Ontario agriculture ministry staff told her the provision applies only to federally registered honey producers. The ministry may still be convinced to allow the off-spec jars. Manske said an appeal of the April decision has been set for June 26. “We have a market and this is our product and our identity. People like

what we sell and they want what we sell: honey in a Mason jar,” she said. “We’re fighting to maintain our customers and our business.” Manske and Moffat learned there was a concern about a year ago. Along with being asked to change the jar sizes, there were also labelling issues to deal with. However, instead of changing the jars, they came up with a creative solution by offering the amount of honey above the regulated weights as a bonus. For example, customers who want the litre jars buy a kilogram of honey and are given 330 grams as their bonus. However, neither Richardson nor the ministry officials who visited the farm in January and March accepted the tactic. “They slapped us with a compliance order with a two week deadline,” Manske said. “There was no interest in discussing or trying to understand our interpretation of the rules.” The regulations do not affect onfarm sales, but Manske and Moffat sell their honey in stores in the Peterborough area and at a farmers market. At Munro Honey in Alvinston, John Bryans said he and his family regularly deal with Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Ontario agriculture ministry inspectors. He sympathizes with Manske and Moffat but also said there is logic to the rules for containers sizes because they provide customers with a visual means to compare pricing. “This is more for the consumer than it is for us.” Bryans said the regulations also serve as a disincentive for U.S. companies to package offshore for resale in Canada.

(Reuters) — Some Pacific trading partners are aiming for a deal on a regional free trade zone as early as the next few months, sources close to the negotiations have said. However, others caution a pact is still a long way off and see the U.S. elections as a wild card. Trade ministers from the 12 TransPacific Partnership countries said after May meetings in Singapore that the talks had gained momentum and they would step up efforts over coming weeks. TPP, which is a central element of U.S. president Barack Obama’s strategic shift toward Asia, would cut trade barriers and harmonize rules in a complex deal covering two-fifths of the world economy and a third of global trade. Some officials close to the talks said they worried about a closing window of opportunity to finalize talks with U.S. mid-term elections in November.

A Mexican official said some were pushing to get an agreement in September at the latest. “If we don’t make it during the summer, it will be difficult for the United States to persuade voters in the middle of the mid-term election campaign, so the aim of the members, particularly Japan, the United States and Mexico, is to seek an agreement towards the end of the (northern) summer,” he said. Still, others took a more pessimistic view. A diplomatic source from another TPP country, who is familiar with the negotiations, said he did not expect ministers to meet again in July or August. “Until the (U.S. mid-term) election is over, there won’t be real enthusiasm for striking a deal,” he said, adding it would need “huge political investment” in Washington to get an agreement this year.

WEEDS | MANAGEMENT

Regulations help communities, farmers keep weeds at bay Alberta legislation lists 75 weeds | Province could see orange and meadow hawkweed downgraded from prohibited noxious status BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

INDUS, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A war has been waged on weeds since farmers first plowed fields thousands of years ago. Alberta wrote a law against weeds just after it joined confederation, and while the list of 19 troublesome plants has changed, the threats never go away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to make sure weeds are regulated so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out of hand,â&#x20AC;? said Gayah Sieusahai of Alberta Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pest surveillance branch. Some weeds, such as pigweed, dan-

delion, shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purse and stinkweed, are not listed in the act anymore because they are so prevalent. The act was most recently revised in 2010 with 75 weeds listed. The weed lists are reviewed regularly. The most recent proposed changes would downgrade orange and meadow hawkweed to noxious weeds while keeping most other types of hawkweed on the prohibited noxious list. In Alberta, a prohibited noxious weed designation means all growing parts must be destroyed, while a noxious weed must be controlled. The category of nuisance weeds

was removed because there is no way to control them all. The list includes 29 noxious weeds, which must be controlled to prevent further spread. They include burdock, yellow toadflax, sow thistle and leafy spurge. Municipal bylaws could elevate a particular type to a prohibited noxious weed. Many prohibited noxious weeds on the list are not yet in Alberta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put them on the list to keep them from entering the province, but some are here,â&#x20AC;? Sieusahai told a weed school in Indus June 4. Many of the prohibited noxious

weeds arrived as ornamental plants, said Nicole Kimmel, a weed specialist with Alberta Agriculture. Some immigrants used them for medicinal purposes or to make dyes. Kimmel said some troublesome plants resemble native species. For example, giant hogweed can be confused with cow parsnip. It has not been found in Alberta but is growing in British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lower Mainland around Vancouver. Others are unwelcome because they carry disease. For example, common buckthorn may carry the fungus responsible for oat rust. Common barberry arrived as an

ornamental, but it carries the fungus responsible for stem rust. It was one of the first plants to be placed on a weed list in the United States in 1918. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was devastating wheat crops, and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live without wheat,â&#x20AC;? she said. The saltlover plant has toxins that can kill livestock. One gram of oxalate per one kilogram of body weight could be fatal in nine to 12 hours. It is a growing problem in the western United States.

VITERRA | AGPRO TERMINAL

Historic terminal gets makeover BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Saskatoon landmark is getting a facelift for its 100th birthday. The former AgPro grain terminal on 11th Street â&#x20AC;&#x201D; now owned by Viterra â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is slated for a new paint job and exterior signage, said Viterra president Kyle Jeworski. The cost of the paint job is expected to run as high $4 million. Work is expected to start in 2015. Jeworski spoke about the project during a June 11 ceremony commemorating the construction of the terminal 100 years ago. Originally known as the Government Interior Storage Elevator, Viterraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saskatoon terminal was built in 1914 and was designed to hold roughly 3.5 million bushels of grain. A major expansion in the 1930s pushed storage capacity to 5.5 million bu., or roughly 157,000 tonnes. The terminal remains the largest inland grain handling facility in Western Canada. Extensive upgrades to legs, dust control systems and receiving and load-out systems have also improved efficiencies. Shaun Stevenson, facility operations manager at the Saskatoon terminal, said the facility is as efficient as any modern concrete terminal in Western Canada, only larger. The terminal was originally constructed by the federal government at a cost of $1.65 million and was opened in October 1914. The expansion project in the early 1930s had a price tag of roughly $2 million. The cost to build a comparable facility today would be close to $70 million. Stevenson said the facility has three receiving lines and the ability to simultaneously load three rail cars. By current standards, the Saskatoon terminal is extremely large, nearly five times that of many modern concretes being built today. Storage capacity is equivalent to that of a small export terminal. That storage gives the facility more flexibility to handle larger volumes and a bigger assortment of crops, even when rail car availability is an issue. The terminal normally draws grain from a 100 kilometre radius around Saskatoon, Stevenson said.

POTATOES | LATE BLIGHT

Samples used to monitor blight BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

TABER, Alta. — No potato or tomato grower wants to see late blight in their plants, but if they do, researchers would like a sample. A piece of infected plant placed in a plastic bag, along with a moist paper towel, can be sent to any of five Alberta Agriculture or Agriculture Canada research centres in L ethbr idge, Brooks, Stettler, Lacombe and Edmonton. “I will take any type of sample,” said Agriculture Canada researcher Larry Kawchuk, who is based in Lethbridge. “ The fresher it is, the better chance we have of isolating it and then being able to characterize it.” Agriculture Canada has been monitoring different strains of late blight for three years in efforts to identify them and track their occurrence, he said.

LAST YEAR’S BLIGHT VILLAIN WAS

US23, A STRAIN THAT ATTACKS TOMATOES AND POTATOES.

The fungal disease infected many potato crops in southern Alberta last year, preferring the wet and humid conditions of 2013. Late blight also infects tomatoes, and many gardeners saw the disease as well. “Last year it was a much bigger problem than typically it is in Alberta,” said Alberta Agriculture plant pathologist Michael Harding. “We had lots of fields and lots of home gardens with tomatoes that were devastated by late blight.” There are numerous strains of blight and last year’s villain was US23, a strain that attacks tomatoes but can also infect potatoes. Infection produces sporangia, which can spread long distances on the wind and cause infection on susceptible plants where they land. That means infected garden tomatoes and potatoes could also infect thousands of acres of commercial potato crops in southern Alberta. Commercial, large-scale growers typically apply fungicide, but not so the casual gardener. “If there are some tomato vines left over in a garden that are sitting on the surface or some potatoes that have been culled out or sitting in piles somewhere, and they were infected last year, they can be a host for the disease to start releasing those sporangia very early in the season,” Harding said. Kawchuk said the US23 strain likely entered the region on tomato plants flown in from elsewhere.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure Potato blight control | Few options are available to producers for spraying BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

TABER, Alta. — Don’t treat late blight. Instead, prevent it from ever occurring. That is the key message from plant pathologists and potato industry officials in this region, where the fungal disease caused major losses last year. Late blight kills potato plants and causes tuber rot in storage. It also affects tomatoes, which can be a source of spread, so the potato industry has made a concentrated effort this year to inform growers and gardeners about late blight prevention. Philip Hamm, professor emeritus and plant pathologist at Oregon State University, spoke to growers June 10 during the industry’s most

recent meeting about late blight prevention and control. Hamm, who has worked for 25 years in research and extension, primarily with potatoes, recommended protectant as opposed to systemic fungicides in the fight against blight. He recommends the fungicides chlorothalonil, the active ingredient in Bravo, and dithane, based on their effectiveness and cost in preventive programs. Aerial and ground spraying are the only two methods available to Canadian growers because few products are registered for application to potatoes through irrigation, as is commonly done in parts of the United States. “There are issues with no matter

SHOULDA WOULDA

what application method you use, but there are ways to take away from those issues,” said Hamm. Key considerations include initial coverage, initial concentration of fungicide and the time needed for coverage of the entire plant canopy. “We not only have to remember getting the fungicide to the canopy, however you do it, but you’ve got to get it throughout the canopy because you’ve got to protect the whole canopy, and often times the top of the canopy isn’t nearly as important as below because of the humidity issues that late blight likes.”

POTATOES | LATE BLIGHT

ALL ABOUT LATE BLIGHT

Ground application of fungicides is the most effective way to treat late blight, say officials. | FILE PHOTO Aerial application on potatoes is relatively common in southern Alberta, and its effectiveness depends on many factors: wind, nozzle type, pressure, droplet size, water volume, obstructions, speed, density of canopy, effective swath width, humidity, drift, topography and cost. However, Hamm said the primary considerations should always be initial coverage, initial concentration and redistribution of the product once it has been sprayed.

Similar considerations apply to ground spraying. “The bottom line is, no matter what application method you use, it will control late blight. You just have to be thinking of a few things,” said Hamm. “A ground rig will get more material to the canopy than an air application will and it will give a higher concentration within the canopy than an air application will.” Agriculture Canada research sci-

• It is caused by phytophthora infestans, a micro-organism. • Primary hosts are potatoes and tomatoes. • It can also infect eggplant, pepper and petunias. • It develops rapidly in warm, humid conditions. • Symptoms begin with dark, water-soaked lesions on leaves. • Lesions are not contained by leaf veins. • Lesions may have yellow edges and become brown and brittle. • Plant foliage dies rapidly. • Lesions can also develop on tomato fruit and potato tubers. • It can overwinter and survive on living plant tissue. • It spreads by spores carried on wind and rain. • Spores can travel 100 kilometres or more on wind. • Scouting for infection is recommended. • Producers should cull all infected or suspect plant material.

entist Larry Kawchuk agreed. “If you have the ability to do ground application, you’re going to get better coverage, but if you don’t have that option, air coverage is fast. Phil brought up an interesting point how you can still get fairly good coverage with additional irrigation or rain washing some of the product into the under canopy.” Hamm said fungicide application frequency of a week to 10 days will likely provide good protection.

Alberta cracking down on piles of culled potatoes BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A bylaw governing nuisances in Alberta’s Municipal District of Taber may be adopted by other municipalities. Their target: piles of cull potatoes. Such piles are common in potato growing regions and comprise small and damaged tubers not suitable for storage or market. The piles could potentially harbour and spread late blight, which is a concern for Potato Growers of Alberta. In a recent letter to growers, PGA executive director Terence Hochstein said the M.D. of Taber bylaw on nuisances could apply to cull potato piles. Enforcement would involve a fine for up to $5,000 or issuance of an order to clean up the nuisance. Hochstein said PGA will now receive complaints about accumulated cull piles in the M.D. of Taber and contact the grower responsible. The grower will have an opportunity to remove the pile, and bylaw enforcement will occur if nothing is done. The information that PGA provides to growers includes best management practices for handling cull potato piles, which vary depending on the time of year.

If there is any evidence of living tissue in the pile, potatoes can still produce late blight spores. Spraying the cull pile will not entirely eliminate the problem.

Material in cull piles can be spread thinly on fields in late fall and winter so that material is exposed to freezing temperatures. In late winter and early spring, existing piles should be buried at least a metre deep or covered with plastic to encourage decomposition. “A very common misunderstanding of cull piles is the misconception that if a cull pile is not green, then there is no sporulation going on,” said the information provided to growers. “This is not true. If there is any evidence of living tissue in the pile, then the potatoes can still be undergoing sporulation and producing late blight spores. Spraying the cull pile will not entirely eliminate the problem.”

temperatures, trending toward warmer-than-normal in Alberta for late July and August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may see late summer heat, especially closer towards the Rockies,â&#x20AC;? said Ressler. Most of the grain belt should experience near normal precipitation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I were to go one way or the other, I would err on the side of maybe wetter than normal, at least for the beginning of summer,â&#x20AC;? she said. The forecast calls for a wetter weather pattern for northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Alberta could switch to a drier trend by late summer because of the warming influence.

Ressler has less confidence in the precipitation forecast than the temperature forecast because much of the summer rain comes in the form of thundershowers, which are difficult to predict. A developing El Nino is the main reason the forecast calls for warmer temperatures in the western Prairies toward the end of summer. Ressler is confident an El Nino will materialize by late summer or early fall, but there is plenty of debate among meteorologists over how strong it will be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been a lot of talk in the last month or so comparing this event to the 1997-98 Super El Nino

that was one of the strongest on record,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect it to be as strong as that.â&#x20AC;? The Weather Network is forecasting a moderate El Nino, while AccuWeather and the Commodity Weather Group are forecasting a weak event. Ressler said a weak El Nino wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change her forecast for the weather pattern on the Canadian Prairies. Other factors will influence temperature and precipitation, such as the warming of the North Atlantic Ocean, which is causing a ridge pattern to set up over the West Coast that will influence summer jet streams.

New labelling program aims to boost consumer awareness, confidence

Raised by a Canadian Farmer | Canadians trust national standards, locally sourced food BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Extensive surveys by Chicken Farmers of Canada over the past 12 years have found that Canadian consumers trust farmers. They increasingly want the producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stamp of approval on the fresh chicken they buy. As a result, the organization has launched its new brand, Raised by a Canadian Farmer. The goal is to connect consumers with people who are producing their food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadians trust farmers so they want to know that it is raised by a Canadian farmer according to a set of national standards, which we have, and they attach a lot of value to that,â&#x20AC;? said communications manager Lisa Bishop-Spencer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real exercise on delivering on consumer expectations.â&#x20AC;? She said more than 85 percent of consumers feel it is important that the chicken they buy is Canadian and not imported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about the country of origin. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the pride in workmanship,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that consumers have said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we want this feel/mark/brand, but we want it to come from the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organization, not from the retailers, not from the processors, but from the farmers.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? A recent Chicken Farmers of Canada statement said 98 percent of producers are certified under its mandatory national on-farm food safety program. All farmers are audited annually to ensure compliance. The organization hopes the brand will affirm consumer preferences for local food while ensuring that fresh chicken meets the highest nutrient, food safety and animal care standards. Bishop-Spencer said some retailers have decided to incorporate the new branding into their own labels, while others will use a separate sticker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the retailers and processors are learning is thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason that these programs canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t co-ex ist because frankly what consumers want to know is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying a product thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local, but also that that local product adheres to a standard thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same across the country,â&#x20AC;? she said.

WEATHER FORECASTING | INTERPRETING DATA

People vs. computers: climate forecasting heats up Traditional methods challenged | New algorithms may offer stability to industries affected by climate change HOUSTON (Reuters) — Computer scientists are picking a new fight with old school meteorologists, They claim to have finally cracked the code on weather forecasting at a pivotal, profitable moment for the field as climate change roils commodity markets and industries. Banks and traders are reporting outsized profits and losses, on everything from natural gas to grains as severe weather causes extra price volatility. As well, power grid operators are struggling with bouts of extreme cold or droughts that crimp supplies while demand spikes, and more retailers and manufacturers are using forecasts to manage inventories. Traditional meteorologists, who look at current weather patterns to make forecasts, have long derided examining historical temperatures as climatology, calling it of limited use, at best, when trying to predict the future. However, applied mathematicians, some of whom once worked on Wall Street as market-predicting “quants,” see the future in patterns of historical data. After years of tinkering, they say their weather algorithms can blow away traditional forecasting. “It has taken me two solid decades to get something useful,” said data miner Ria Persad, president of StatWeather. “Weathermen are looking at what’s happening now, they are looking at current data to get to the future,” said Persad. “They aren’t actually studying this 120 years of data log to extract patterns like we are to draw statistical lessons.” Persad looks far ahead: she sees the California drought persisting until late 2015, so far into the future as to draw scoffs from some practitioners. Traditional meteorologists also use computer models, and some see value in mixing historical data with what is happening outside their window. However, they are skeptical of relying too heavily on the past. “We only have data for the last 100 years, which is 100 winters, which is a really small sample size. It would work if we had 1,000 years or 10,000 years of data, but we don’t,” said Mike Halpert of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center. “This is kind of like being a gambler in Las Vegas: on any one hand you may lose.” However, Halpert had predicted that this past winter was going to be warmer than normal. Instead, it was unusually cold, just as StatWeather predicted. Only 20 percent of commercial forecasters saw the colder winter coming, Persad said. StatWeather nailed calls on a cold snap in late 2013 and a string of frigid temperatures through March, surprising some in the forecasting community and even Persad herself. She attributed improving accuracy to her software training. Another company, Global Weather Oscillations, uses historical data to predict where hurricanes will strike land. It correctly predicted a weak hurricane season last year, unlike many rivals. “We don’t have to wait four days before a hurricane hits to do this. We

can do it eight months into the future,” said chief executive officer David Dilley, whose company sells its forecasts to insurance firms and big retailers. Climate change is already causing drier droughts, more intense floods and wilder temperature swings across the United States, the National Climate Assessment said in May. The winter of 2014, when frigid temperatures roiled natural gas markets as heating needs rose, may be a glimpse of what lies ahead. Major trading houses, hedge funds and energy producers made and lost

hundreds of millions of dollars as gas futures prices spiked by more than 50 percent to a five-year high of $6.49 per million British thermal units in late Februar y. Spot prices rose 20-fold at a delivery point into New York City. Oil giant ConocoPhillips posted $200 million in profit during the quarter from natural gas. Texasbased hedge funds e360 and Goldfinch reportedly had gains of 14 percent and 21 percent in January, respectively, when gas spiked. “It was a very unusual quarter because of weather,” ConocoPhil-

lips chief financial officer Jeff Sheets said in May, describing a successful winter of gas trading. He warned that the results might not be repeatable. Cargill Inc.’s quarterly earnings fell 28 percent on market disruptions, which it blamed in part on extreme weather. Most firms active in energy markets have contracts with several forecasting companies, paying them tens of thousands of dollars a year. Air Liquide, which produces and buys power to distill specialized gases, said it relies on half a dozen

suppliers, such as StatWeather, Planalytics, DTN, Wilkens and Vaisala, which track not just temperature but also wind and, in one case, lightning. The forecasts help it monitor pipeline safety, calibrate its plants based on the price and availability of power and gauge when the Texas grid might suffer supply disruptions.

Hemp will likely top out at 90,000 acres this year, falling short of earlier predictions of more than 100,000 acres in Canada. Russ Crawford, Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance president, said a lack of certified seed has restricted acreage expansion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has become the bottleneck,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our guess is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re somewhere between 85,000 and 90,000 (acres). I think we could have made it (to 100,000) in a heartbeat if we had the seed availability.â&#x20AC;? Canadian farmers, primarily on the Prairies, grew about 70,000 acres of hemp last year. Over the winter, industry watchers predicted Canadian hemp acres would top 100,000 in 2014 because of robust consumer demand for hemp seed, protein powder, hemp milk and related products. Crawford said acres will definitely increase across the Prairies, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have detailed information on provincial data. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saskatchewan has been floating around that 50 percent of the total acres.

GRAIN | TRANSPORTATION

Grain handlers call for stricter rail rules to avoid logjam More cars sought | Regulations sought by grain industry would give ag sector priority over others and include minimum shipments to the U.S. WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Grain handlers are lobbying the federal government for even stricter rules that require railways to allocate thousands of rail cars to them each week. The hope is to stop an unprecedented crop logjam from becoming worse. Tougher rules could give grain handlers priority over other shippers, including oil companies, which have moved a rapidly growing although still relatively small volume of crude by rail. A record-large harvest and frigid weather snarled the transportation system last fall and winter, leaving millions of tonnes of grain stuck in farm bins. Minimum shipments to the United States, which is part of the grain handlers’ wish list, could keep cereal companies from suffering a repeat of last winter’s oat shortage. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the government intends to have new regulations in place by mid-July, possibly with tougher volume requirements. “If it’s necessary, it will be done,” he said. “I’m not going to be prescriptive yet.” Under pressure from angry farmers, the government decided in March to order Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway to boost grain shipments to

minimum weekly levels. The minimums expire in August, when the next harvest begins, but a recently passed bill allows Ottawa to set new targets for the 2014-15 crop year. Adding more regulations creates tricky politics for the Conservatives, although they have also gotten tougher on banks and phone companies. The Western Grain Elevator Association, is arguing for between 11,000 grain cars, which is now the weekly minimum, and 14,000, which CN says may overwhelm grain handlers. WGEA is also asking for minimums along each rail corridor, such as the lines to the United States, Canada’s West Coast and Thunder Bay. G ra i n h a n d l e r s s a y ra i l w a y s shunned trips to the United States last winter, which can take longer from the Prairies than those to busy West Coast ports. “If the railways ignore certain corridors and focus all movement into others, then it stands to reason that port terminals could face challenges unloading rail cars,” said WGEA executive director Wade Sobkowich. The grain handlers’ lobbying push extends from Ritz to federal assistant deputy ministers, whom the WGEA met with in late May, and to the government’s Canadian Transportation Agency.

The CTA is meeting individually with shippers and railways, trying to estimate how much grain must move after the next harvest. It will make recommendations to transport minister Lisa Raitt in coming weeks. CN chief executive officer Claude Mongeau said the grain handlers’ call for up to 14,000 cars per week was “not constructive” because the industry had never moved more than 10,000 before the current rules. CN will deploy hundreds of U.S.based cars in Canada for the summer to clear some of the backlog in this usually slower period and aims to temporarily deliver 6,000 grain cars per week, exceeding the current requirement for 5,500 per railway. The Port of Thunder Bay had its busiest month in 16 years in May, but there is still a mountain of grain to move. Agriculture Canada estimates that leftover crops before the next harvest will amount to 22.4 million tonnes, the biggest pile in 34 years. Early indications point to the next crop reaching average to above-average size, adding considerably more to move. “We’re moving all out as we speak, and we will continue into next year,” Mongeau said. CP is working on an operating plan for the fall that includes improved train velocity and better use of its

Open House

fleet to deliver more cars weekly, said spokesperson Ed Greenberg. Railroad consultant Tony Hatch of ABH Consulting said further Canadian railroad regulation would be “crazy,” considering the ample incentive to ship as much grain as possible. Despite its looser regulations, the U.S. rail system works “pretty darn well,” Hatch added. Ritz said he and Raitt plan to meet with shippers and railway officials. “The biggest difference moving forward will be the ability to get all the players around a table and talk it out,” he said.

“That was never done before. When it didn’t work right, they blamed each other.” Considering the huge crops, a more co-operative approach looks more important than ever. Months before farmers harvest a bushel, the Canadian arm of commodities trader L ouis Dreyfus Corp is almost booked for spring wheat purchases through the end of 2014. Buyers, worried about securing transportation, are making purchases three to six months in advance instead of the usual 60 days, Brant Randles of Louis Dreyfus said.

WHEAT | DISEASE

No serious signs of stripe rust in Alberta yet Disease monitoring | Wheat growers urged to select varieties that carry resistance to disease BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A report of stripe rust near Olds, Alta., is likely disease that overwintered rather than a sign of a 2014 outbreak. Agriculture Canada research scientist Denis Gaudet told a group assembled for a June 12 Farming Smarter crop walk that only one area of the province has reported stripe rust this year. No sign of the crop disease has shown up in field scouting elsewhere. Stripe rust did enter Alberta last year but wasn’t the major problem experienced two or three years ago, said Gaudet. That was when a different race of inoculum in the U.S. Pacific Northwest blew into Alberta. It overcame the resistant gene in Radiant, a popular winter wheat variety, and then spread into spring wheat. “That is where we’re at right now,” said Gaudet. “The good news is that newer varieties of winter wheat are resistant to stripe rust. Rob Graf, our winter wheat breeder, has been really on top of this problem, has made really good progress. “Right now we still have a fair number of susceptible varieties around on the winter wheat side. On the

spring wheat side, there’s good resistance in a lot of our varieties for stripe rust.” Gaudet advised wheat growers to consider stripe rust resistance when making planting decisions because its potential for infecting crops in any given year is hard to predict. He also advised against preventive fungicide spraying because the investment may not be worth it. Frequent scouting is the only way to gauge a stripe rust problem. If spores do arrive, there is a 20-day lag time between the spore shower and infection, said Gaudet. “If you don’t see any pustules in your field, it’s unlikely that you’re going to see a massive outbreak in that field.” However, spraying may be warranted if stripe rust does appear, and it’s a susceptible variety, especially if it is early in the growing season. Researchers have been studying the timing of fungicide applications

Agriculture Canada researcher Denis Gaudet told producers at a June 12 crop walk in Lethbridge about stripe rust and other cereal leaf diseases. | BARB GLEN PHOTO on three varieties to determine what is optimum: Lillian, a resistant variety; CDC Imagine, which has an intermediate level of resistance; and Barrie, which is susceptible. Gaudet said two years of study have found that there is no effect on yield and quality when spraying Lillian for

stripe rust. However, there is a beneficial effect from spraying Barrie. Growers who see the need to spray should do so just before flowering. He also said it may not be worth spraying for leaf spot and tan spot should they be found in wheat fields. “We’re really unsure what impact

leaf spots have on yield. Most of our wheat varieties do not warrant control of leaf spot,” he said. “If you’re going to consider spraying for something like leaf spots, we’re really unsure if you’re going to recover that investment on that spray.”

INSECT | MANAGEMENT

Seed treatments more effective at pea leaf weevil control Agriculture Canada researcher says spraying may not keep future generations of the pest at bay BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Treating seed appears to be the best management practice to combat pea leaf weevil, according to researchers. Hector Carcamo of Agriculture Canada told those at a June 12 crop walk organized by Farming Smarter that spraying isn’t likely to increase yields, even if pea leaf weevil infestations reach the economic threshold. The threshold is generally considered to be the point where more than three in 10 pea seedlings show damage at the clam leaf, said Carcamo. Spraying will kill the weevils, but they likely have already laid eggs by the time the threshold is reached, and more may be entering the field because the insect has more than one migration per season. Foliar pesticide spraying is “a bit of a tricky gamble,” said Carcamo. Producers who anticipate pea leaf weevil problems are better off using treated seed, he added

Older peas are less vulnerable, and damage concerns disappear altogether once the crop is past the fifth or sixth node. The weevil nibbles leaf edges but does not kill plants. However, it impedes peas’ nitrogen fixation capability, which limits a key advantage of the pulse crop. Carcamo is working with University of Alberta graduate student Amanda St. Onge to set pheromone traps for pea leaf weevils so that they can study them and attempt to devise predictive models for spring infestation. St. Onge said pea leaf weevils were first found in southern Alberta in 1997. Adults feed on plants in the spring and females can lay up to 3,000 eggs, although a much smaller number actually become larvae. The larvae feed underground, destroying the rihizobium that fixes soil nitrogen. St. Onge said the insect is expanding its range and is also a pest in fababeans.

As well, the company uses a heated drying system and tests each trailer to ensure the virus hasn’t survived the process. “Every measure we’re taking today, we’re keeping PED away (from the Canadian Prairies), said Favel. “Let’s face it, biosecurity’s a pain in the (butt), but we’re also keeping bad things away.” Favel drove one of his trucks and trailers from Moose Jaw with a load of hogs, delivered it, had it cleaned in Iowa and then sealed it and put it on display at the Pork Expo to celebrate his company’s 10th anniversary. He didn’t put it there to highlight the quality of the truck wash he received in Iowa, admitting that the few tiny pieces of straw and biological matter he could see in the trailer after the wash drove him crazy. He will run the truck and trailer through his own cleaning, disinfecting and dr ying facility once he returns to Moose Jaw. Favel’s trucking company, which hauls hogs, cattle and grain, has 34 truck-trailers but only 25 drivers because he has to let his hog trailers dry for days after cleaning while waiting for the test results. However, it is important that he reassure his clients he is looking after their best interests and is not going to take PED to their barns. “Whatever their vet wants” is what his company tries to provide. The third-party truck wash costs his customers about $300 and another $350 to go through Favel’s own wash, disinfection, drying, inspection and testing process. Six of the company’s trucks are segregated for hauling breeding stock from high-health companies, and one of them recently tested positive for low signs of PED, for the first time. “We went and washed it and put it on cattle,” said Favel. It won’t be used again for hauling hogs. Dealing with PED and the hog industry’s biosecurity requirements isn’t easy, but Favel said he’s happy with his decision to stick to hauling nothing but agricultural products. There’s huge demand in Saskatchewan for hauling oil, but “it’s not my passion. He has encouraged other truckers to boost their cleaning effor ts because while following high-health standards may be complicated and costly, letting PED loose in the prairie hog industry would be a lot worse. “Come on guys, this is cheap,” he said.

WORLD IN BRIEF FOOD SAFETY

Egg executives plead guilty CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Quality Egg LLC and two top executives have admitted selling substandard eggs containing a “poisonous” substance and bribing a United States federal inspector in a food-safety scandal that sickened thousands. The Iowa-based company, once among the largest producers of shell chicken eggs in the U.S., along with owners Austin and Peter DeCoster, pleaded guilty recently to federal charges in connection with the nationwide salmonella outbreak in 2010. An estimated 2,000 consumers fell ill during the outbreak after eating eggs tainted with salmonella enteriditis. Quality Egg pleaded guilty to selling eggs mislabelled to hide how old they were; giving cash bribes to a U.S. Department of Agriculture inspector to approve and allow poor quality chicken eggs to be sold to the public; and introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The company has agreed to pay about $6.8 million in fines, according to consent agreements filed in federal court. The ultimate fine will be determined by the court at a sentencing hearing to be set at a later date, according to a justice department spokesperson.

POULTRY

China reopens Virginia poultry trade WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — China has ended a seven-year ban on poultry and poultry products from Virginia. The ban covered all poultry produced in Virginia, poultry moving through Virginia and poultry exported from any port in Virginia. It was imposed after a case of avian flu was identified in a Virginia turkey flock in 2007 during routine testing. China is the third largest export market for American poultry and products, importing $503.6 million US worth last year.

Satellites help China crop estimates

DuPont, U.S. colleges form deal on data services

LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Satellite data has helped hone estimates of China’s crop production, but the global market still lacks reliable numbers on the country’s grain stocks, the United States Department of Agriculture’s chief economist said. “While there’s been some progress in trying to estimate production and indicators on where there might be production problems, of course this has very little (bearing) for any of the other variables like consumption or inventory levels,” the economist, Joseph Glauber, said regarding satellite data. The Agricultural Market Information System, known as AMIS, was launched by the Group of 20 leading economies to promote transparency and curb the kind of volatility seen in grain markets in the past decade. The accuracy of China’s data has become a major issue for traders and analysts as surging food demand has made it one of the world’s largest importers of grains. The USDA’s top analyst of world crop statistics last month called on China to improve transparency.

(Reuters) — DuPont Pioneer has signed up eight U.S. Midwest universities to work on research into nitrogen use on farms, looking to reap the benefits of the data collection from farm machines. The seed and chemicals company will provide funding for the research and equipment and technology for the schools, according to the three-year agreement. In return, the company will have exclusive use of the data for four years, which it will plug into its subscription-based precision agriculture platform that taps mountains of data to help farmers make farm management decisions. Companies such as DuPont Pioneer and rival Monsanto have been investing aggressively in big data services, hoping to spin detailed weather or soil data into profit for farmers, but there are concerns about data privacy and security. DuPont Pioneer has deals with equipment makers Agco and Deere & Co. to wirelessly stream data from machines. It also teamed up with the University of Missouri and the United States Department of Agriculture to enhance its soil maps. DuPont Pioneer says it expects the data services to generate $500 million annually over the next decade.

El Nino raises shipping concerns LONDON (Reuters) — A potential El Nino weather phenomenon, which could upset global crop patterns, may also disrupt shipping patterns and raise freight costs, leaving suppliers and importers to cover their food needs from longerhaul destinations. El Nino, a warming of sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific, can trigger floods and drought in different

regions, hitting production of key foods such as rice, wheat and sugar. “Disruptions are always very favourable to the freight market/ BDI,” said Khalid Hashim, managing director of Precious Shipping, one of Thailand’s largest dry cargo owners. While countries in Asia are scrambling to reduce El Nino’s impact, shipping markets expect trade flows will be affected. Rice trade is likely to feel the effect if producers in Thailand and Vietnam are hit, shipping analysts say.

Gout treatment could help citrus crops ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) — A chemical used to treat gout in humans has been found to halt the spread of the fatal citrus greening disease that is devastating Florida’s $9 billion US citrus industry, according to scientists.

As much as 70 percent of Florida’s citrus trees are believed to be infected by greening, which is caused by bacteria deposited on trees by an insect called the Asian citrus psyllid. The best method now for dealing with greening calls for removing infected trees to prevent the bacteria from spreading to others in a grove. Even if Lorca’s work turns out to be the long-sought silver bullet to stop the advance of the disease, it could take five to seven years for the treatment to receive federal approval for commercial use. The research led by Lorca and her husband, University of Florida microbiologist Claudio Gonzalez, was published in late April by the online peer-reviewed journal PLOS Pathogens.

CANADIAN WHEAT SYMPOSIUM | PLANT BREEDERS’ RIGHTS

UPOV 91 may encourage exchange of plant material, say breeders Germplasm ownership key part of legislation BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Most wheat varieties in western Canadian farmers’ fields can be traced back to laboratories at federal institutions and universities. That’s about to change with the introduction of new plant breeders’ rights legislation expected later this summer, although how and to what degree remains unclear. “There’s a number of companies that are expressing interest getting into wheat in Canada, but of course there is this whole question about how will they capture a return on their investment,” said Ron DePauw, senior principal wheat breeder with Agriculture Canada. Canada has seen several new investments in wheat breeding initiatives in recent years from major multinational companies, including Bayer CropScience and Dow AgroScience. At the same time, Agriculture Canada has shut down its Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg. “Any new investments (in wheat research) are likely going to have to come from the private sector. What will it take for them to invest? If the public sector is there and is a major competitor, they’re probably not going to invest,” George Clayton, an adviser with Agriculture Canada, told the Canadian Wheat Symposium in Saskatoon last week. “If rules do not allow for a return on investment, they’re probably not going to invest.” Updated plant breeders’ rights legislation, currently weaving its way through the House of Commons, seeks to stimulate interest from the

private sector by increasing protection for intellectual property and generating revenue for breeders with the adoption of UPOV 91 standards. Many breeders and companies have applauded the updates to plant breeders’ rights, although some farm groups have criticized the proposed legislation. An important consideration is the control of germplasm as the material required to improve breeding programs is exchanged between different organizations, both public and private. Numerous officials at last week’s conference from both the public and private sectors expressed frustrations with exchanging germplasm. Supporters of PBR legislation say the move will help facilitate partnerships and trade. “Breeders and wheat research groups need to treat exchanging germplasm like readers treat books,” said Rollin Sears, a breeder with Syngenta. “We do not try to protect the words in the book. We let authors rewrite the stories and create new stories from those words. We need to do the same thing in wheat breeding. We need to allow breeders to exchange and recombine these genes to make new wheat varieties. “UPOV 91 as a form of intellectual property, compared to say utility patents, I think, is a much superior way of protecting germplasm and I think an important one for us in terms of our global aspirations to increase yield.” SeCan’s Jim Downey said UPOV 91 will have little impact on most farmers. The legislation will “tighten up and increase certified seed sales,” he added.

Special crops processor Keystone Grain has downgraded its forecast for sunflower acres in Manitoba this year, but the company’s projection remains well ahead of the 70,000 acres seeded in 2013. | FILE PHOTO MANITOBA | SPECIAL CROPS

Rain dampens forecast Sunflower acres | Seeded acres unlikely to hit 120,000, says processor BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Manitoba sunflower acres won’t i n c re a s e a s muc h a s e xp e c t e d because persistent rain has hampered seeding in the southwestern corner of the province. Ben Friesen, commodity purchasing manager with Keystone Grain, a special crops processor in Winkler, Man., was expecting sunflower acres to rise significantly this year. “Originally, I had projected Manitoba in the 120,000 acre range,” he said.

“I’m thinking we could possibly be losing 10,000 acres over there (in the southwest).” Manitoba farmers seeded 70,000 acres of sunflowers last year, which was one of the lowest in the last eight years. June 10 was the seeding deadline for full insurance coverage for sunflowers in Manitoba. Sunflower growers can plant until June 15 and receive 20 percent reduced coverage. Friesen said the industry likely picked up a few late acres. “I’m still in that 110,000–115,000 (acres) projection.” Market analysts told crop and production shows last winter that sunflower acres were poised to increase because the crop penciled out as one of the most profitable options for growers. Processors were offering production contracts of 32 cents per pound for confectionary sunflowers and 22 cents per lb. for black oils. Manitoba traditionally grows more confectionary sunflowers than black oils, but black oils have been gaining ground over the last couple of years. Prices have been comparable and at

times are higher than confectionary sunflowers. However, a 10 cent price premium this year means confectionaries will regain acres. “Last year, we were down to almost 50-50. I think we’re going back to more the historical, 60-40 type of split.” John Sandbaaken, executive director of the National Sunflower Association in the United States, said growers in northwestern, northeastern and southwestern North Dakota have been battling soaked soil this spring. He said it’s hard to pin down acreage because North Dakota farmers will plant sunflowers in the third and fourth weeks of June. However, acres will likely increase from 2013, when thousands of acres in north-central and northwestern North Dakota were too wet for seeding. It resulted in one of the worst years for sunflower production in the state. “Last year there were 499,000 acres (of sunflowers),” Sandbaaken said. “In the March (U.S. Department of Agriculture) intentions report, it was projected that would increase to 670,000 acres.”

SEALED & GREASED EXCAVATOR CHAINS Excavator links are lubricated using “Extreme Pressure Synthetic Grease” and fitted with the latest style Polyurethane Seal Groups tomaximize lubrican retention and insure long life.

SEALED & LUBRICATED DOZER/LOADER CHAINS Lubricated Dozer Chains are sealed with Polyurethane Seals and Metal rings to extend operating life and to eliminate the possibility of dry joints between “west turns”.

FORGED LINKS ITR Links are forged from Boron Steel, quenched, tempered, and induction hardened using the latest automated link hardening equipment to ensure excellent wear resistance under even the most severe working conditions.

PINS & BUSHINGS Pins and bushings are critical to track chain wear life and are manufactured and dimensionally matched to ensure a perfect fit and sealing and joint integrity. Outside Surface Hardness is > Rockwell C58 to a depth of > 4mm with a core hardness of > Rockwell C34.

CHAIN ASSEMBLY Lubricated Chains are assembled on fully automated chain assembly lines. Seal installation, Plug introduction and Oil fill quantities are 100% computer controlled and every joint is individually pressure tested to eliminate the possibility of leakage during working conditions. Min / Max interference fit tolerances between the Pins, Bushings and Links are maintained automatically by min/max press force specifications. This process minimizes link breakage and

pin/bushing drifting.

CASE AIM COMMAND AND SHARP SHOOTER “The Air Bubble Jet consistently produces droplets that are 200-550 microns in size. Too big to drift $ 25 - too small to run off.” 11

90% LESS DRIFT, LESS RUN OFF, SUPERIOR COVERAGE

Drift occurs when droplets are smaller than 200 microns. Standard sprayer nozzles drift because they produce droplets that are 50-300 micron in size with a large percentage under 200. With a droplet range of 200-550 microns, the Air Bubble Jet has 90% less drift than standard nozzles.

NEW!

$ 95

Run off occurs with big droplets - 600 microns and over. Depending on the manufacturer, other low drift nozzles produce droplets that range in size from 250-1000 microns. That is why run off can be a problem. With a droplet size of 200-550 microns, your chemical stays on the plant when applied with the Air Bubble Jet. New Twin Air Bubble Jet. With the twin cap, you can use 2-5 gallon nozzles rather than 1-10 gallon nozzles. The advantage is you get over twice as many droplets per square inch for superior coverage. Air Bubble jet nozzles operate at 30-45 psi and have an overall range of 20-90 psi.They can be used to apply fungicides, insecticides and herbicides to any crop including potatoes and pulse crops. Ag Canada tested.

SASKATCHEWAN STOCK GROWERS | WILDLIFE HABITAT

Stock growers want compensation for conservation Sage grouse protection | Producers concerned about fencing costs under new regulations to protect wild sage grouse BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Saskatchewan’s cow-calf producers say those who raise cattle in the area where a sage grouse protection order has been issued should be fairly compensated. The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association has added its voice to others who are concerned about the emergency protection order issued by the federal government late last year. It came into effect in February and includes 1,700 sq. kilometres in southern Saskatchewan and Alberta. The protection order imposes restrictions on noise levels and travel within certain areas in an effort to stop the population decline. The number of birds has dropped by 98 percent since the 1980s, from 2,491 to 138 in 2012. The order does not limit grazing and does not apply to private land. However, many SSGA members in the southwest use crown lease land, on which the order does apply. Lynn Grant from Val Marie, Sask., said much of the land under the order has been under federal jurisdiction for years, and still the grouse population has dropped.

He said if those management practices haven’t worked so far, why would they work now. “I’m still at a loss to explain how the measures taken in the order are expected to do anything for the bird population going forward, when the vast majority of those measures would have been in place,” Grant said. “My concern is if the bird population doesn’t recover in whatever period of time, what happens next?” David Ingstrup, regional director for the Canadian Wildlife Service, said the grouse would likely move to extirpated status on Canada’s endangered species list if the population doesn’t recover. He said the United States is taking a different approach. “They’re trying to pull out all stops right now through stewardship measures and a lot of innovative programs with ranchers to try to stabilize populations,” he said. The grouse isn’t on the American endangered list, but Canadian populations are at the fringe of the sage grouse range. Grant told Ingstrup that most ranchers would like to see the birds return or remain, but they also don’t want to have ineffective measures imposed on them.

“Effectively, the act makes all these species and their habitat a liability to the landowner or land manager rather than an asset,” he said. Larry Grant, also of Val Marie, said that the federal Species at Risk Act requires communication, consultation and collaboration with those affected, but none of that has happened. He said there are problems with what the ranchers will be asked to do. For example, fences will need a top

smooth wire, and the top two wires must be marked. However, the order has estimated only $125 per kilometre in extra fencing costs, and one or two person hours of extra labour per kilometre fenced. The markers have to be placed every 1.5 metres, and Grant said the cows are likely to pull them off. He said ranchers will be blamed if the program fails, but it’s likely that predators such as raccoons and snakes and diseases such as West Nile Virus will have a bigger effect on populations. “Everything in there is aimed right at the rancher,” he said. Miles Anderson of Fir Mountain, Sask., said compensation is a must. He has sage grouse on his ranch and said he’s spent the past two years dealing with a “mess.” “To the rancher, it’s almost an assumption that they’re there because you have the habitat. You’re almost guilty by association by having the habitat there. The birds have shrunk the traditional area they live in, and as things get better for them, they’ll expand.” However, he said ranchers can’t do much about predators. “There has to be some form of financial compensation to you, if not

just for your time and whatever monetary things you have to do as stated in both (the emergency order and the recovery strategy),” he said. Rural municipalities won’t be able to do roadwork at certain times, which will cost money, he added. Anderson also cited a survey that found people believe the birds are worth $25 each to them. Perhaps society should contribute and let some of that money flow back to ranchers, he said. The SSGA membership passed a resolution calling for producers to b e f a i r l y c o m p e n s ate d f o r t h e financial stress and costs they will incur because of the emergency order. However, they also passed a resolution asking that the order be delayed until meaningful consultation with ranchers takes place. More broadly, another resolution asks the SSGA executive to lobby the federal and provincial governments to enable the sections of the federal Species at Risk Act that support voluntary conservation agreements that are fully compensated and recognized. Ingstrup said no conservation agreements have yet been implemented, but he expected some pilot projects to be started this year.

LIVESTOCK | ELK VALLEY RANCH

Elk industry shows signs of life despite loss of important market

D’ARCE McMILLAN knows the markets.

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

KITSCOTY, Alta. — Frank McAllister doesn’t think the elk business will ever return to its halcyon days of the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, he insists it is still a good industry, despite the rough patches. Elk Valley Ranches sells trophy elk to farms in the United States and Saskatchewan, harvests antler velvet, raises elk cows and calves and sells animals for meat. Donna and Frank McAllister, some of the original elk farmers in Alberta, fenced a quarter section in 1985 for their first animals. It was heady times, with elk antler fetching $120 a pound and each elk producing about 30 lb. of antler. The couple diversified into bison to create a safety net in case of a market crash, but the good times ended for both bison and elk in 2002. The lucrative South Korean elk velvet antler market closed to Canada after animals infected with chronic wasting disease were accidentally shipped to that country. The price for elk velvet dropped to $10 a lb., and the elk industry has struggled to regain its footing ever since. Also in 2002, Western Canada was hit by one of the worst droughts on record and livestock producers were forced to sell their herds or buy hay. The drought cost McAllister an extra $800,000 in feed costs. In 2003, the discover y of BSE prompted many foreign countries to

FRANK MCALLISTER ELK FARMER

ban imports of Canadian bison products and prices dropped. “It took me six long years to crawl out of that hole,” he said. “I don’t suspect the elk industry will ever come back to its glory days.… Unless the meat goes to $4 a lb. and velvet at $50 a lb., it will be tough to see the industry grow.” However, antler prices are slowly increasing and the market for trophy elk is small but lucrative. The bison industry has worked hard to create a meat market, but it has been tougher to find sales for elk meat. “I can’t make a living selling to elk farmers. The public has to consume elk.” The Korean market for elk velvet never reopened, but Chinese demand has helped push prices higher. He received about $27 a lb. last year, but prices are now about $40 a lb. McAllister’s elk cows are artificially inseminated with trophy winning semen from across North America in an effort to reach top dollar for his trophy elk. “Now, I seldom have a bull that does not make a trophy,” he said. A trophy elk can fetch $4,000 and higher, depending on the size of the animal.

UREA FERTILIZER | APPLICATION

Liquid UAN best option for top dressing: experts Nozzles worth investment | Streaming, rather than spraying, prevents leaf burn BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

If it’s available, growers should apply liquid urea ammonium nitrate rather than dry urea with a urease inhibitor when top dressing, said Dave Franzen, a soil fertility expert in North Dakota. When applied as a stream from a sprayer, UAN losses through volatilization are less than dry urea with a urease enzyme inhibitor, he said. “Streaming, that’s my number one (option). Urea with the Agrotain (urease inhibitor) is a close number two,” said Franzen, North Dakota State University extension soil specialist. “It depends on what the supply is. If you don’t have liquid close (to purchase)… you have to factor in the practicalities. But if everything was ready and available, my number one would be the streaming.” Growers in western Manitoba, eastern Saskatchewan and North Dakota have coped with wet conditions this spring and may not have side-banded nitrogen when they seeded the crop.

Producers in other regions may not have put all their nitrogen down because of time and logistical constraints at seeding time. Both groups of growers will likely need to top dress nitrogen this spring. Tom Jensen, northern Great Plains director for the International Plant Nutrition Institute, agreed that UAN is the best option for growers who plan to top dress. “Back in the old days before ammonium nitrate became such a security threat, it was the ideal product for top dressing,” he said. “Theoretically, UAN is half ammonium nitrate and half urea. Half of the nitrogen in UAN is less susceptible to (losses).” The one drawback is that urea ammonium nitrate may not be readily available in certain areas. If producers can buy UAN, they should add an urease inhibitor to minimize the risk of gaseous losses from the urea portion of the product, said Thom Weir, senior agronomist with Farmers Edge. “Unless there’s imminent rain, you’d put on the Agrotain with it.” Jensen said it’s important that the UAN is applied as a stream, rather

than a spray, to prevent leaf burn. “Once you’re over 10 pounds of nitrogen, you get a lot of leaf burn…. If you do the dribble band, you’ll see the burn where the streams (contact the plant), but you miss a lot of the leaves,” he said. “It’s not that expensive to get the stream nozzles… it’s worth the investment.” Franzen said urea in combination with a urease inhibitor like Agrotain is an effective second option. But growers should never apply dry urea without an inhibitor because an enzyme in the soil called urease rapidly converts the urea into ammonia gas. “The worst thing to do is just spread urea and hope it rains.” University of Manitoba research indicates that volatilization losses from surface applied urea can be substantial when soil temperatures are high and it is windy. At a soil temperature of 25 C, tests showed that 38 to 46 percent of urea nitrogen was converted to ammonia and lost to the air in five days. “The worst losses for urea are when there’s a wet soil surface, it dissolves but there isn’t enough

moisture to take it into the soil,” Jensen said. “If you have warm, breezy, sunny conditions… that’s when you have the highest losses.” Jeff Schoenau, University of Saskatchewan soil scientist, said a urease inhibitor will minimize losses for up to 14 days. Schoenau said producers may want to broadcast slightly more urea than the target rate. “If you anticipate some additional losses because of, you might say, an inferior application method like broadcasting, you’d need to up the rate to account for those additional losses.” As for timing, Schoenau said producers should top dress nitrogen as soon as possible. “For any kind of post-emergent application of nitrogen, the earlier you get it on the better in terms of recovery from yield loss.” For canola, top dressing of nitrogen should occur before the four to six leaf stage, according to the Canola Council of Canada website. Franzen said before or at the four to five leaf stage is ideal for any of the small grain crops.

Broadcasting fertilizer not ideal BY ROBERT ARNASON WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canadian soil fertility experts have urged growers for years to side band nitrogen at seeding time. Most producers in Western Canada have adopted the practice, but a burgeoning number of farmers are now broadcasting dry fertilizer in spring. “We do have some fairly large farms that, for logistical reasons, are going what I call ‘back to the future,’ ” said

AGRONOMY | FUNGICIDE

Do foliar fungicides provide enough bang for the buck? PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR

here has been a lot of discussion about applying reduced rates of foliar fungicides, usually a half rate at the T1 stage or at the time of herbicide spraying. The practice has become common in the past few years, but the question remains: “Are you getting an economic bang for your buck?” Kelly Turkington of Agriculture Canada has studied propiconazole at various rates when tank mixed with herbicide at the herbicide application timing, T1, or fungicide alone at the flag leaf stage, T2, for leaf spot control in AC Metcalfe barley. “We observed no, or rarely, any benefit to applying fungicide at the herbicide application timing,” said Randy Kucher of the University of Saskatchewan, who participated in the study. “For optimum leaf spot control in barley, we continue to observe the best results at the flag leaf fully unfurled.” However, it seems to me that there may be exceptions.

A farmer might consider applying a fungicide at the T2 stage under the following conditions: the crop was planted into infested cereal stubble, it has a dense and moist canopy and lesions are observed on the newest leaf growth. If this isn’t the case, the producer should save the fungicide until the application will provide with the greatest economic return at flag leaf or anthesis. Timing is also a factor when applying fungicides with a herbicide application. Early weed removal has significant benefits, but fungicide success also appears to increase as the crop stage advances because of the increased amount of plant material to be protected and the increased likelihood of infection. These two dynamics work against each other. From an economic standpoint, it does not make sense to delay a herbicide application to improve the benefits of a fungicide application. Disease resistance management must be another consideration. There has been confirmed resistance to most groups of fungicides among all common cereal leaf diseases. Growers can help reduce the threat of fungicide resistance by avoiding the use of very susceptible varieties, treating seed with effective seed treatments and, where sprays are required, rotating with the fungicide groups.

“(However), the more a fungicide is used (numbers of applications), the greater the risk that the pathogen population will become insensitive (resistant) to the product,” Kucher said. Three Agriculture Canada studies have found no economic benefit to this practice, but Marcia McMullen, a plant pathologist with North Dakota State University’s extension service, said studies in that state have found benefits. I have observed numerous fields this year with heavy infection of leaf diseases, mostly tan spot on wheat and net and spot blotch on barley. Both diseases prefer the showery, wet conditions we have been experiencing. These diseases are worse on crops grown on their own stubble. I’ve noted that wheat on a cereal stubble or barley on a cereal stubble, while not as bad as on its own stubble, is worse than when grown on a broad leaf stubble like canola or peas. As well, disease infections are highest on crops that are under stress, either moisture or nutrient. Diseases such as scald on barley have been observed in other parts of Western Canada,. Producers should scout fields, properly identify diseases and use effective control measures that will provide the best return when making disease decisions.

WHAT IS UREASE?

knows about online media.

• Urease is a naturally occurring enzyme, found in nearly all soils, on plants and crop residues. It is produced by micro-organisms within the soil. • The enzyme plays a critical role in the nitrogen cycle. It helps break down urea into ammonium, a form of nitrogen that plants can use.

News happens around the clock and Robin Booker aims to get all relevant, important stories and video online fast.

• If rain doesn’t dissolve dry urea that is broadcast onto the soil surface, the urease enzyme converts urea into ammonia, which gases off into the atmosphere. ing nitrogen before seeding possibly because they don’t have enough labour to manage seed and fertilizer at planting time. Side banding is still the best option, but broadcasting fertilizer isn’t as risky as advertised, Jensen said. “I’ve been involved in some work with researchers the last five years, where we had fall and spring broadcast urea applications compared to side banding. “To tell you the truth, I was amazed how well that broadcasting did,” he said. “You’ll never lose out by banding. It’s a proven method. But I think to a certain degree we need to be flexible. There are times when broadcasting works reasonably well.”

WEED OF THE WEEK: GREEN FOXTAIL BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Call it what you will — bottle grass, green bristlegrass, green millet, pigeon grass, wild millet or, as it best known in Western Canada, green foxtail — the weed is becoming a growing problem for prairie farmers. Less tillage has had many positive effects on agriculture, but it has also resulted in more weeds. One benefactor has been green foxtail, formally known as setaria viridis. This weedy millet is well known across North America and is registered as a noxious weed in Canada and 46 American states. Ten years ago, it was considered to be present in more than half of the fields in Western Canada’s black soil zone and in one-quarter to one-third of the brown zone and southern parts of the black zone. Researchers say green foxtail is likely as prevalent in the southern Prairies now as it was in traditional canola country 10 years ago. Green foxtail is an annual with a fibrous root system that can take advantage of scant resources. Reproducing from seed, the plant generates 350 to 500 seeds per head with as many as 10 heads per plant. As a result, it can spread quickly from a single plant if allowed to mature. Green foxtail is a slow germinator,

preferring to start life in soil with abundant moisture that is 15 to 35 C. It has trouble competing with dense crops because of its need for light and heat. It will develop slowly in dry conditions, making them good targets for chemical control. Seeds tend to germinate and generate viable plants from soil depths of 10 to 25 mm, so harrowing fields can generate germination in the spring by creating warmer soil and placing the seeds in a desirable seed bed. Foxtail first appears on the soil’s surface as a single, tiny, green leaf running parallel to the ground. Still tiny at the four leaf stage, it can be confused with other cereals. The little fibres that appear where the leaf meets the stem before heading are tell-tale signs. Once mature, the head’s bristly, spiky panicle is a dead giveaway. The weed is a poor crop competitor in cooler conditions, as long as the crop gets an early start. However, wider row spacing can allow it to get a root-hold in a field. Dense, tall crops that canopy well, such as canola, durum and barley, can win out over the weed. However, pulse crops such as a lentils, flax and shorter spring cereals, can lose the race with green foxtail unless they are dense. Winter wheat and fall rye are good choices for fields with green foxtail

Each head forms as many as 500 seeds, with as many as 10 heads per plant. problems. The weed’s rapid growth cycle can be problematic for cultural control practices when it emerges with the crop. Forage rotations of three years or

more are useful control methods but unrealistic for many grain operations. Chemical control is possible with most crops, but oats has only one registered solution for suppression: linuron with MCPA ammine. This works with other cereals as well. Ten products are available in barley, including pinoxaden, Axial, tralkoxydim (available in a mix with bromoxynil and MCPA as Achieve Liquid Gold or for application with an adjuvant under Liquid achieve, Bison or Marengo), fenoxaprop (under a variety of names including Puma), triallate and trifluralin (Fortress), Trifluralin (Treflan, Rival and Fortress) and pyrosulfa-

tole mixed with fenoxaprop and bromoxynil (Tundra). Most of the barley choices are registered for wheat, as well as clodinafop (under a variety of names including Horizon and various mixes such as Harmony) and flucarbazone (Everest or Sierra). Suppression is available with pyroxsulam (Simplicity) and thiencarbazone (Varro). Clearfield wheat offers those control choices. Most products that control cereals in broadleaf crops are effective. Green foxtail can germinate late in the season and still reach maturity and produce viable seed, so pre or post harvest applications of glyphosate or similar products can help control it.

THREE MAIN SPECIES OF CROP PEST FLEA BEETLES IN WESTERN CANADA:

Scout early, often for flea beetles

• The crucifer flea beetle and the striped flea beetle are significant crop pests. Yield losses of 10 percent are common, even when the seed is treated with insecticides.

Most damage is done when canola is in cotyledon stage BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Canola farmers need to keep a close eye on flea beetles but shouldn’t spray at the first sign of damage, says an agronomist with the Canola Council of Canada. Greg Sekulic said he has seen flea beetle damage in Alberta’s Peace River area canola fields but nothing more than normal. Seeing edges chewed off new canola seedlings is expected because flea beetles need to chew part of the canola plant to ingest the insecticide in the seed treatment. “If you walk into a field and see some activity, that isn’t a reason to be spraying,” said Sekulic. Instead, he recommended not spraying unless the cotyledon is more than 25 percent damaged and the flea beetles are still actively feeding. He said he has seen only one field in the Peace region this year that had more than 25 percent damage and required spraying. Sekulic said beneficial wasps that feed on flea beetles may control some of the pests until the plant

enters its third or fourth leaf stage and it grows out of its most susceptible stage. The most critical phase is when the canola is in the cotyledon stage and the flea beetle can do the most damage. “There is not a lot of need for widespread spraying,” he said. “I can’t really stress enough the importance of being in your fields in a regular basis.” Scott Meers, an entomologist with Alberta Agriculture, said he has seen reports of flea beetle damage across the province but generally not more than normal. The most damage comes after the initial seed protection on the treated seed has worn off and the canola hasn’t yet reached the three to four leaf stage, which is when flea beetles can no longer do as much damage to the plant. Flea beetles are one of the most damaging insects to canola in Western Canada and can cause million of dollars in damage if an outbreak occurs. Cold, wet conditions limit the insects’ feeding.

• A one percent per acre yield reduction results in a total crop loss of $25 to $35 million.

• The crucifer flea beetle is the most prevalent species in Canada but there is an increase in reports of striped beetles on the Prairies.

Canadian quinoa acres expands as seeded area stretches west

Thirty-eight producers in Western Canada have seeded more than 5,000 acres, says quinoa processor

knows about production.

COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

WINNIPEG — Canadian quinoa acres have increased significantly this year and are expected to continue climbing, according to an official with the country’s only processor of the crop. “As of today, we have 5,070 acres with 38 different growers,” said Michael Dutcheshen, general manager of Northern Quinoa Corp. (NorQuin), a specialty grain and food processing company in Saskatoon. “The most we’ve done in any given year was 1,600 acres. Last year was at about 1,530 acres, so this is our biggest expansion in acreage, and next year we hope to double this at least as minimum.” Most of the 38 quinoa producers are located in Saskatchewan, where the South American crop was first introduced to Canada. Manitoba started producing quinoa in the 1990s, and there are now 10 growers, including one producer with 600 acres, the biggest quinoa producer in the country. Production also expanded into Alberta last year, where there are now four quinoa growers. “There’s more than enough interest here from growers, and this is the best area to grow it in, in the Prairies,” said Dutcheshen. “There’s way more than enough land in the Prairies for growing quinoa, probably more than

South America has.” Quinoa (keen-wa) originated in South America and has been grown and consumed there for thousands of years, according to NorQuin’s website. It has increased in popularity as a healthy food product in North America in recent years because it is high in protein, gluten-free and suitable for a variety of cooking styles. Dutcheshen said quinoa seeding is almost complete. “Quinoa likes dry weather, which is kind of a contradiction in some sense because it grows best north of Highway 16,” he said. “So dry land in those area is better for quinoa. It doesn’t like to sit too wet, but I guess it’s not overly picky either.” Dutcheshen said prices are rising, and the biggest challenge is remaining competitive with Canada’s biggest rival, South America. He said he couldn’t provide exact prices because they were internal to the company.

Funding at ABP ‘tenuous’ Group shows budget deficit | Declining checkoffs put Alberta Beef Producers in the red BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — A dwindling cow herd and a refundable checkoff have created a dire financial situation for Alberta Beef Producers, once the envy of farm groups across the country. For the first time in history, the provincial cattle organization has not been able to pay its share to the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, and it was forced to dip into a reserve fund to meet its budget. John Buckley, finance chair, said the $5 million budget would need to be trimmed more if money raised from the checkoff continues to decline. “We are in a very tenuous situation with our funding,” said Buckley during the group’s summer meeting. At the end of the 2013 budget year, the organization received about $538,000 less revenue than expenses. At the end of 2014, it has projected a $754,000 shortfall. “The tools we used in the past to predict how many marketings we received have not been reliable for

the last couple years. We are in a declining revenue situation and we don’t have the assured level of funding we once had. It is a huge challenge,” said Buckley. From April 30, 2013 to March 31, 2014, 3.7 million cattle were marketed in Alberta, up from 3.4 million in the previous period. In Alberta, a $3 checkoff is charged each time an animal is sold. Of that, $2 is refundable and $1 is paid to a national beef promotion and research agency and is non-refundable. Four years ago the checkoff was made refundable, which enables producers to apply to have some or all of the refundable por tion returned. In 2013, Alberta Beef Producers received 923 refund requests worth about $2.4 million. The agency kept $4.6 million, but it is retained in a special account until the following year. “We will have very serious decisions to make to get the best value for our producers,” said Buckley. ABP chair Greg Bowie said the splintered nature of the cattle indus-

try in which various groups represent different interests, has also divided industry money, which prevents the industry from investing in research projects or taking on national beef and cattle advocacy. Bowie said the drop in revenue means the trade advocacy reserve fund, which was set aside to fight trade disputes, will not be replenished. “For the first time we had to pull funds from our operating reserve fund, which had been set aside to assist in getting the organization through the years when marketings are at their lowest,” said Bowie. Northern Alberta cattle producer Gordon Graves wondered how long the organization could continue. “It appears we are in financial difficulty. How long till we reach the breaking point,” he asked. Larr y Delver with the Cattle Industry Council of the ABP, said the group should find allies in the industry to help promote the group. “We need to use our imagination to figure out who is on our side. “We are presently in arrears in our

payments to CCA for operations, but were able to meet the payment levels for this budget year. And probably the biggest problem is our inability to fund research and promotion at the level necessary to remain competitive with other exporting nations. We are appreciative of government funds used in these areas, but we need to be able to put up dollars to secure these matching funds.” Buckley said while the provincial and federal governments have funds available for research and promotion, most require matching funds from outside interests. “Our ability to match is restricted and becomes a difficult issue,” said Buckley. It’s not just the cattle organization struggling. Bowie said producers wanting to enter the industry, or expand their herds also need secure financing. “In order to add more cows, new and existing producers need affordable land and access to water and labour, all resources that are in short supply in Alberta.”

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said he’s pleased with the enrolment numbers after the first offering of livestock price insurance. About 1,100 policies had been taken out as of June 4 after 1,449 producers signed up for the pilot Western Livestock Price Insurance Program announced in January. About 1,000 of the policies were for calf price insurance. “This is approximately 15 percent of the marketable calf crop and, I would say, excellent uptake for the first year of a brand new program,” Stewart told the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association convention, where he announced the numbers. The industry had been asking for price insurance for the past several years. Alberta had its own program, and earlier this year the pilot for the other three western provinces was announced. Stewart said the industry was right to push for the program and is obviously ready to participate. “The cattle industry is usually pretty conservative about adopting new programs,” he said. “I think we’ll see dramatically increased uptake in years to come.” Alberta producers took some time to warm up to the program, and Stewart expects Saskatchewan producers who were on the fence will watch to see how it works. “They can lock in these good prices for a very reasonable cost, and I won’t say it’s a no brainer, but it’s obviously a good program when you study the details of it, and I think a lot of producers will be taking a closer look at it over the next year.” Fifteen percent of the calf crop represents 100,000 calves. Meanwhile, the province has also established a goal in its growth plan to increase revenue from livestock production by 25 percent from 2012 to 2020, which would bring livestock cash receipts to $2 billion annually. Stewart said the opportunity and capability exist. “We’ll just encourage the industry with good programming and livestock price insurance and some research assistance and whatever we can do to work for that goal,” he said. Grant Zalinko, the province’s livestock development manager, said expanding the feeding sector as part of that goal will be a challenge, but the goal is realistic. Cash receipts in 2012 from cattle and calves were $994 million. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Pig virus cases may surge PED monitoring | Cases of the virus slowing but there is still work to do BY ED WHITE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DES MOINES, Iowa — Hog farmers have a brief respite from the worst of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and researchers are scrambling to make it more than just a pause. “It seems to be declining,” said Tom Burkgren, executive director of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, about summer temperatures apparently causing fewer weekly new outbreaks of PED. “Don’t let your guard down. It’s not time to let your biosecurity down. It’s time to leverage the heat.” Burkgren said PED outbreaks are likely to surge again in the fall and researchers hope to make hog farms better able to handle the virulent disease — which has now killed about seven million piglets — when it returns in full force. PED, like many viruses, survives well in cold weather but is unstable in warm temperatures. Over the fall, winter and spring PED infections rose from about 100 in late May 2013 to 4,700 by the time of this year’s World Pork Expo in the first week of June. The disease has spread across the American hog herd and into both eastern and western Canadian herds. It is actually two strains of PED, which most researchers believe came into the U.S. already separately developed,

Eggs, bison and lamb also contribute to the overall total. “We’re looking to develop programs and services that encompass all,” Zalinko said.

National Pork Board vice-president for science and technology, Paul Sundberg, said researchers need to crack some remaining mysteries of PED in order to give farmers the tools to control its spread. That includes understanding how to create and sustain immunity in sows that have been exposed to the disease. A number of veterinary experts said solving the mystery of sow immunity is key to stopping the resurgence of the disease in barns “cleaned” of an outbreak, because outbreaks have been taking longer to end since January. Burkgren said the virus acts mysteriously, badly affecting some barns that practice high biosecurity but being less damaging to some that have lower biosecurity. And it will hit some sows hard but ones right behind them little. And right when it seems to have disappeared from a barn it can reappear. “We don’t know a lot about sow immunity,” said Burkgren. “It is a surprising virus and it just pops up.” Sundberg said researchers hope to use the masses of information they have already compiled to unravel the remaining mysteries. “We’ve had a lot of success,” said Sundberg.

The council will work with individual breed associations to teach producers how to use genomic tools with a view to increasing uptake by the industry. “This program makes it easier for our producers to evaluate which traits in breeding stock would actually improve their individual herds,” Stewart said. “We have great purebred genetics and this is an effort to help commercial producers to incorporate the best genetics into their operations.” The federal and provincial governments will provide $200,000 and industry will contribute $800,000 to the projects.

“We’ve learned an awful lot.” The search for the disease origin continues, with multiple veterinarians at the World Pork Expo saying solving that mystery is key to ensuring that pathway of disease is closed. However, U.S. Department of Agriculture animal health inspection head John Clifford described that as searching for a “needle in a haystack.”

More than a dozen years of experience working with cattle, combined with inspired marketing, has paid off for 18-year-old Nicki Ross of Innisfail, Alta. Her reserve grand champion blue roan steer sold for $7.25 a pound for a total of $9,200 at the 4-H regional show and sale in Red Deer June 1. She is a member of the Bow-Inn 4-H beef club. The difference in this sale was Ross’s decision to donate 25 percent of her earnings to the Canadian Diabetes Association through a unique marketing plan. Her grandfather was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago and is now on dialysis three times a week. She wanted to help and came up with a plan to sell shares in her steer, named Phil. She set up a website called Club

Phil, which explained her plans and offered a chance to buy shares and donate a percentage of future prize money to the diabetes association. The steer is entered at the Calgary Stampede and will be processed after the show season. The beef will be shared among those participating. The steer came from her aunt and uncle, Jason and Bev Kelly, who own Prime Time Cattle at Innisfail. She worked for them last summer, and part of her wage was her pick of the show steers. She was confident she had a winner, which encouraged her even more, said her father, Hugh Ross. “When kids have a chance with a good animal, they like showing it even more,” he said. Her next goal is to study graphic design in Calgary in the fall, but she plans to continue with 4-H and other showing opportunities.

Ross will donate 25 percent of her earnings from her 4-H reserve grand champion roan steer to the Canadian Diabetes Association through a unique marketing plan.

HOGS | LEVY

Alta. pork producers vote against mandatory checkoff BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta pork producers don’t favour the return of a non-refundable checkoff, even if it could allow Canada to charge a levy on pork imports. Commodity checkoffs in Alberta have been refundable since 2010, though the legislation isn’t universally popular because it limits groups’ ability to predict income and budget accordingly. However, hog producers at a May 27 Alberta Pork meeting in Lethbridge voted for the status quo. The discussion arose from a national pork organization proposal for a national import levy on pork entering Canada, said Alberta Pork chair Frank Novak.

The United States charges a levy on Canadian hogs or pork equivalent, so a national levy charged by Canada would be a reciprocal arrangement. It would require federal regulations to allow a levy on imported hogs, pork and pork products, similar to those implemented for the beef industry in July 2013. The money could then be used for research, market development or promotion. However, trade rules dictate that the amount of the import levy is based on the smallest mandatory levy or checkoff paid in the initiating country. Some Alberta pork producers don’t pay a checkoff because they’ve requested a refund, which negates the industry’s ability to charge on

imports. Novak said the Alberta Pork executive considered a proposal that would implement a mandatory 75 cent per hog levy and a refundable 25 cent levy, which would enable Canada to charge 75 cents per hog on imports. Based on current import levels of pork and pork products, Novak said they estimated about $1.8 million could be collected, most of it from the U.S. “For all we know, it would cost $1.75 million to collect that $1.8 million, and then we would all get a stick of gum and say that we did something.” Alberta hog producers in Lethbridge agreed with the executive’s plan not to pursue the national request for a non-refundable levy.

everal herds in our area have been affected over the last few years with grass tetany, an often-fatal syndrome caused by a magnesium deficiency. These herds will often have multiple cases in short order. Chances of recovery are poor once affected cattle start going down, so treatment is an emergency. Treatment can be successful if the disease is caught early, and a veterinarian will initiate steps to prevent further cases. Mineral feeding has been sporadic to non-existent for the past year in almost all the cases I have seen. These deficiencies may be a long time coming. Factors that can contribute to the disorder include stresses such as weather changes, starvation for even 24 hours, heavy pregnancy and milk loss from sucking calves. Mature, lactating cows are usually affected first. Changes to lush green pastures coupled with inclement weather can also precipitate an outbreak. Lush grass lowers magnesium levels. I have seen an outbreak occur after the weather turned inclement in a group of well-doing heifers on a sound mineral program that were starved for 24 hours to facilitate spaying. It is not uncommon for more cases to develop rapidly if one cow is magnesium deficient. One must assume the whole herd could be borderline deficient. Cattle in a classic case of grass tetany become weak, start to stagger and go down, developing tetanic convulsive fits. Paddling with the front feet and snapping of the eyelids can also occur, along with heavy breathing and foaming at the mouth. Veterinarians examining affected cattle often find a high heart rate and potentially elevated temperature from the hard work the muscles are doing. Veterinarians often administer a combination of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, much as they would treat milk fever. Deficiency in these three minerals may be enough to cause a downer cow. Most clinics can do blood work in house, so many veterinarians will often take a blood sample before they begin to check for the levels of these minerals.

We often see magnesium and calcium low together. Occasionally we look for high potassium, another macro mineral, because it can interfere with magnesium absorption from the rumen and lead to a secondary grass tetany. T h e re a l p ro b l e m w i t h g ra s s tetany is it usually comes on quickly without warning, and death can be sudden. Post mortems show little, and veterinarians are often left scratching their heads unless clinical signs are seen. Combination calcium, phosphorus and magnesium products are often given by slow intravenous injection, and more can be given subcutaneously or intraperitoneally , which means into the body. Veterinarians will often listen to the heart, so administration can be quickly slowed or stopped if problems occur. We want to treat clinical cases when they occur, but we also want to prevent further cases from developing by getting much needed magnesium into the cattle. Force feeding or drenching with magnesium oxide may prevent further cases if we also start supplementing with a good mineral program containing magnesium. Good trace minerals will have macro minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, as well as many micro minerals such as copper and zinc. Some producers are misled by terms such as trace mineralized salt, which is primarily micro minerals with salt to enhance consumption. These products don’t have macro minerals and are much cheaper. Read the label when buying minerals to ensure the product has macro minerals. Mineral programs are absolutely key to preventing this sudden killer of cattle. Pastures in some regions provide inadequate magnesium, and supplementation must be greater than the standard. However, palatability is a problem if levels become too high, and cattle may back off mineral consumption. Producers should work with a veterinarian and nutritionist or feed mill to make sure they have adequate amounts of macro minerals in their program. As well, they should keep a close eye on cattle in times of stress. Not all cattle will eat adequate amounts of minerals, even though it is available for them. Supplying good quality minerals can prevent grass tetany as well as other mineral deficiencies. Roy Lewis works as a technical services veterinarian part time with Merck Animal Health in Alberta.

BEEF FARMERS OF ONTARIO | AWARD

Ontario rancher bucks the cash crop trend Environmental stewardship | Rancher and veterinarian Peter Kotzeff uses intensive grazing on some of his 1,800 acres BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

CHESLEY, Ont. — Peter Kotzeff had never heard of Beef Farmers of Ontario’s environmental stewardship award until he was encouraged to apply. Much to his surprise, he won, even though he believes many beef producers are trying to follow a similar path to protect the land and water to grow food. “I think it should be a more important award,” Kotzeff said as he drove the back roads of Bruce County, inspecting cattle, pastures and water lines. “Environmental stewardship and sustainable agriculture is something we have to think about.” This region south of Owen Sound was once major cattle grazing country, but more farmers are switching to cash crops such as soybeans, wheat and corn. Kotzeff operates 1,800 acres with 700 acres in forage and the rest in cash crops. He pastures 500 to 1,000 head a year from May until mid-October under an intensive grazing system with paddocks from 50 to 300 acres. Fields are enclosed with electric fences, and pastures are strip grazed for three to five days before the cattle move on. He also bought 70 bred cows from Saskatchewan and calved them out in March in a small forested area. As a result, he wanted self sufficient cows. “I want a cow that calves by herself, knows what she is doing and rebreeds,” he said. He is also the local bovine veterinarian based in Chesley. His daughter is one of his associates and looks after a small animal practice in Owen Sound. Kotzeff originally came from Toronto 30 years ago as a large animal veterinarian and started buying properties that needed work. “I keep buying farms, fence off the rivers, fence off the bush for woodlots, and then I replant,” he said. All the farm work is done by local operators, who use minimum till to plant crops. His next plan is to establish cover crops on all cropland to prevent eros i o n , b u i l d s o i l s t r u c t u re a n d sequester nutrients. He hires a student from the University of Guelph to work as farm manager every summer. Many of his properties include rivers, woodlots and wetlands, which were settled more than 100 years ago. Some were neglected over the years so he has introduced crop rotations and added more organic matter to restore the property. Kotzeff also planted legume seed to improve pasture quality. He did so by frost seeding with an all-terrain vehicle mounted spreader and by adding it to the fertilizer and in the mineral supplement so the cattle can spread seeds in their manure. His environmental farm plan helped cover the costs of fencing and delivering water to the cattle. He installed an aeration windmill

on one of his properties and another one to pump water from a nearby pond he built to catch runoff. The water goes to a large storage tank and flows by gravity in pipelines to the troughs. Keeping animals of the streams avoids contaminating them with manure and mud. A steady supply of fresh water also improves cattle health. Mineral feeders are close to the watering sites. They offer a high selenium trace mineral salt in loose form for animal health. The mix includes an ionophore to control coccidiosis as well as trefoil and clover seed to spread. The trace mineral includes only the amount of phosphorus the cattle need, to prevent them from spreading it into the environment. Kotzeff advocates common sense and better husbandry rather than treating every problem with medication. He usually buys lighter weight cattle from auctions and starts them on hay in sheltered pasture areas to familiarize them to the feed and the new group. Offering animals good feed in a clean environment keeps their health issues to a minimum. All animals are weighed when they are bought and when they come off grass. Their individual performance is tracked by attaching information to their Canadian Cattle Identification Agency radio frequency identification tags. At the end of the grazing season, the cattle are moved to PKW Feedyard, a 2,000 head feedlot Kotzeff owns with two partners. The cattle are confined in pens of 50 on slatted floors in a covered building. They are on feed for 120 to 180 days. The region can get about 900 millimetres of precipitation a year, so mud is a major problem. Enclosing the cattle indoors helps control the mud problem as opposed to having them live in the open like a prairie style feedlot. Another innovation was taking advantage of a local fixture: old stone fences. They were built by the first settlers, who cleared the land of bush and trees and then moved the large rocks left over from the last ice age into fence lines. Kotzeff has fenced these off for wildlife corridors.

An aeration windmill and a second windmill to pump water out of a man-made pond provide clean, fresh water to Peter Kotzeff’s grass-fed cattle. The water is stored in a large tank and flows by gravity from surface pipelines to water troughs. The troughs are moved ahead of the cattle in his pasture rotation system. | BARBARA DUCKWORTH PHOTO

Painted ponies help flood victims STORY AND PHOTOS BY WENDY DUDLEY FREELANCE WRITER

Floyd Visser, executive director of the SHARP Foundation, accepts $10,000 for the first place decorated horse. The horse was nicknamed Penny because it’s covered in donated coppers. TOP: This painting appeared on a horse representing the Opening Gaits Therapeutic Riding Society of Calgary. It won $10,000, as the winged Pegasus horse was deemed to represent volunteerism at its best. ABOVE: The public views the painted ponies, each representing a nonprofit organization that continues to help victims recover from the floods that swept across southern Alberta last summer. Funds raised through bids on each horse will go to the organization.

CALGARY — A herd of painted ponies is helping communities devastated by last year’s floods that ravaged towns and farms across southern Alberta. The Spruce Meadows horse complex near Calgary gave 20 nonprofit organizations each a fibreglass horse to decorate. They are on display at the facility throughout summer. “It was really fun to see the horses take life. I hope this brings luck and energy into these organizations,” said Spruce Meadow chief executive officer Linda Southern-Heathcott. “Each one is unique. This is a way to bring all the (flood-affected) communities together.” From flower-adorned cheeks and striped stockings to ribcage landscapes of flooded farmland, the horses were painted with spirit and a vibrant pallet. Each of the 20 organizations, selected from 58 applicants, receives $1,000. The public can bid on each horse, with proceeds going to the organizations. Bids can be made until September by going to www.sprucemeadows. com. Cash prizes were awarded to those judged to be the most innovative. A first-place cheque for $10,000 went to the SHARP Foundation, which provides spiritual and medical care for people living with HIV or AIDS. Literacy for Life Foundation received $7,000 for second place and Special Olympics Calgary and the Bowness Community Association tied for third, each winning $3,000. A special Pegasus volunteerism award of $10,000 went to the Opening Gaits Therapeutic Riding Society. “So many organizations are suffering from donor and volunteer fatigue,” said Southern-Heathcott. “We chose those that were struggling and needed a leg-up.”

STRATFORD, Ont. — The altruistic aspects of her artisanal cheese business are Ruth Klahsen’s prime motivation, but the dollars and cents still matter. “We need a different business model where you make a living, not get rich,” the owner of Monforte Dairy said. “My line has always been, poverty sucks but money doesn’t make you happy.” The “right thing” for Klahsen is connecting her customers with their food and where it comes from. She and her employees — there’s up to 25 at times — produce 25 to 30 cheeses from sheep, cow, water buffalo and goat milk. They are sold from the plant and through 30 independent markets, including several in Toronto. Given the nature of the venues, Klahsen said it’s better to produce a wide variety of cheeses rather than focusing production on a few. However, she said the opposite would likely be true if her sole priority was profitability. In addition, she would likely put pressure on her suppliers to lower their prices, market through a broker and hire an Indian cheese maker rather than developing her own talent. “That wouldn’t be any fun, so I won’t do it.” Klahsen also took an unconventional route in raising capital for her business, taking it from leased premises to her own plant. Five years later, it has proven to be a model that works. She generated close to $500,000 by approaching 1,000 prospective customers. For an upfront investment of $1,000, $500 or $200, customers received vouchers worth $1,500, $750 or $250. These have since been exchanged for cheese. Klahsen also qualified for close to $750,000 in federal and provincial loans and an $180,000 provincial grant. As the winner of the Premier’s Award for Agri-Food Innovation E x c e l l e n c e l a s t y e a r, K l a h s e n received an additional $75,000, which she is sinking into yet another project, a school for cheese makers. The plan is to take up to eight students, who will be trained by educator and consultant Neville McNaughton from the CheezSorce at St. Louis, Missouri. McNaughton, a founder of Kapiti Fine Foods, an artisanal cheese company in New Zealand, is widely recognized as an expert in crafting cheese. Klahsen said the school will bring further improvements to the quality of cheese at Monforte along with provid-

ing educational opportunities. “Artisanal cheeses are the most difficult to make,” she said. Instead of trying to standardize the process, artisanal cheeses are made on a batch-to-batch basis using a combination of art and science. A single bacterial culture is used for each batch, but four or five different cheeses can be made by using different techniques. With sheep milk, for instance, Monforte makes feta and fresco, cheese cousins, halloumi, which is poached fresco, and ricotta, which is made from whey. Klahsen puts in 100 hours a week taking care of distribution and management and keeping an eye on pro-

duction, but her vision extends to yet another project. She plans to go back to her customers to help raise $500,000 to buy a 50-acre farm with an old bank barn and farmhouse. The idea is to establish a learning centre geared toward honing the husbandry skills of dairy farmers, educating consumers, training future cheese makers and feeding people. It’s to be modeled, more or less, on a similar enterprise in England: Rose Cottage. It’s an ambitious undertaking, but Klahsen has a record of success. She’s now processing 20 tonnes of cheese annually with $2.2 million in sales. Inventory can add up to $600,000. She works directly with her farmer suppliers, who are primarily pasture and forage based. They receive a top price for their milk. No genetically modified feed is allowed, and farmers avoid the use of antibiotics and hormones. Klahsen admitted that cash flow is a challenge. “We’re not the easiest to work with. We’re often slow to pay.” Her son, Daniel Szoller, is in charge of ripening the cheese. He’s like his

Small town suds soak up praise, out-of-town traffic Ribstone Creek Brewery | Craft brewery energizes local economy in Edgerton, Alta. BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDGERTON, Alta. — Edgerton isn’t on everyone’s driving destination yet, but at least 150 pins are stuck into a map indicating the home towns of visitors who stopped at the brewery. The original owners of Ribstone Creek Brewery didn’t set out to make the brewery into one of their village’s tourist destinations, but it has become a driving destination. “It’s created lots of traffic,” said Al Gordon, village administrator and one of the founding owners of Ribstone Creek Brewery. When visitors drop in to taste the brew from one of Alberta’s newest craft breweries, they often stop for lunch at the local restaurant as well or shop in the village’s stores. “It’s helping all of the other busi-

nesses to some degree,” said Gordon. The village has hired a student this summer to look at economic development opportunities. She will talk to villagers about what they would like their community to look like in 10 years. Gordon said the investors who started the brewery could see no red lights that would stop them from setting up shop in this village of 400 people. “We wanted to put something back into the community,” said Gordon. “I thought it was a great idea.” Three of the four original investors went to school together in Edgerton, starting in Grade 1. While they had a good sense of community, they didn’t know how to make beer. They hired Br itish Columbia brew master Dave Beardsell, who had just sold his Bear Brewing brewery to Calgary’s Big Rock, to

This year is the second full year of production, and Ribstone Creek won a gold medal at the Calgary BeerFest in the light lager category with its Ribstone Creek Lager. It also won silver in the same competition in 2012.

“We were fortunate to get a recipe that was acceptable to everyone,” said Gordon. Despite the awards, Alberta is a tough market for emerging breweries. More than 2,500 beers are sold in Alberta. Local hotels and restaurants within a couple hundred kilometres sell the

Ribstone Creek Brewery beer, but the craft brewery will never be in the same league as Molson’s or Labatt’s with their massive facilities and marketing budgets. “Our goal is to be in a solid profitable situation for our investors, and we are on target.”

MANAGEMENT | CAPITAL

Analyzing capital structure enables better investment decisions MANAGING THE FARM

DEAN KLIPPENSTINE, C.A.

here are several things to look for when analyzing farm profitability. G ro s s ma r g i n a n d t h e f a r m’s spending on labour, power and machinery are obvious measures, but this week I want to talk about land, building and finance (LBF), which focuses on the capital structure of the business. Rental costs of land and buildings, interest costs and property taxes are the main drivers of this category. This analysis illuminates a farm’s net worth or investment philosophy rather than how well a farm operation is managed. Theoretically, the analysis of a farm’s LBF costs should include a measure of opportunity cost or the imputed cost of asset rent or interest on debt used to purchase assets, even when capital is financed by the farm’s own equity. Given that historical financial statements, which do not include this notional cost, are used in a farm’s financial analysis, LBF expenses should at least be separated from other expenses so as not to skew a comparison between two similar farm operations with different balance sheets. To illustrate, consider a young farmer who rents 1,000 acres right

next door to an older farmer who owns 1,000 acres that was paid off 20 years ago. It would not be accurate to suggest that the older farmer is managing his farm better than the younger just because he does not have any land rent. This difference is simply a function of the difference in capital structure of the two farms. Management of these businesses should be evaluated based on the more appropriate measures of gross margin and labour power and machinery. Consider a scenario involving two 4,000 acre farms: farmer A owns 1,000 acres debt free and rents 3,000 acres from an investment fund. Farmer B owns all 4,000 acres, 75 percent of which is financed by a financial institution. If interest and property taxes were equal to land rent (which, presently, is close), then the farms would have essentially the same LBF cost per acre. However, a change in the market would affect each of these investment strategies differently. If land prices continue to rise and interest rates stay low, farmer B’s strategy would be successful. If interest rates rise and land values plateau or decrease, farmer A’s philosophy would result in a stronger financial position. This type of analysis does not necessarily establish which strategy is better. Rather, it reflects the impact of each strategy on the operation’s financial position and clearly separates metrics reflecting investment decisions from the operating metrics of gross margins and labour power and machinery.

Observing the LBF costs of many farms over many years has yielded a useful comparison of profitability between different types of rental arrangements. The commonly used one third-two third gross revenue rent is a consistently unprofitable model when the rental calculation doesn’t include

the associated input costs. However, including input costs results in an arrangement that is beneficial for both the landlord and the tenant. Accurate analysis of a farm’s LBF is critical because it provides farm managers with the information that is necessary to make good invest-

ment decisions. Investment acquisition decisions (rent or purchase) must be considered carefully because they have long-term effects on a farm’s profitability. Dean Klippenstine is director of primary producer services for MNP in Regina. Reach him at dean.klippenstine@mnp.ca.
