Maple Leaf criticizes TFWP reforms

Are farmer seed rights still safe?

Government turns down processor’s application BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Agricultural Growth Act | Omnibus bill sparks debate over rights to saved seed

Maple Leaf Foods says the federal government denied an application in June to hire 75 foreign workers for its Brandon hog processing plant. The decision, combined with restrictive changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, has created a human resources situation that is not “sustainable” for Maple Leaf, says Rory McAlpine, the company’s vicepresident of government relations. “For the first time, back in June, a labour market opinion for 75 meat cutters for the plant was refused,” he said. “We think that decision was wrong.” McAlpine said the government denied the application because the company didn’t promote the job openings domestically. “There were a few very technical issues that they pointed to … that we hadn’t done enough to advertise the opportunities across Canada,” he said.

A controversial bill aimed at modernizing Canada’s plant breeders’ rights legislation won’t affect a farmer’s rights to save and replant the seed that he harvests. That message, delivered repeatedly by the supporters of the Agricultural Growth Act, was repeated last week by federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz. Under Bill C-18, “the farmer’s right to save seed for future planting is protected and includes storage and/or cleaning of the seed,” Ritz told members of the House of Commons agriculture committee Oct. 9. “A farmer does not need to seek permission from the rights holder to store farm-saved seed for replanting in future years. Let me repeat that. A farmer does not need to seek permission.” The Agricultural Growth Act is an omnibus bill that deals with many farm sector issues. Key provisions would update Canada’s Plant Breeders’ Rights Act and bring it into line with an international seed convention known as UPOV 91. However, farm organizations that oppose the bill say UPOV 91 and the Agricultural Growth Act are an attempt by seed development companies to tighten their grip on Canada’s seed supply and limit farmers’ ability to store, condition and replant farm-saved seed. UP OV 91 is a f ra me w ork d e si g n e d to improve intellectual property protections for organizations that develop and market new seed varieties. SEE ARE FARM RIGHTS SAFE, PAGE 2

Are farm rights safe? A farmer does not need to seek permission from the rights holder to store farm-saved seed for replanting in future years. Let me repeat that. A farmer does not need to seek permission. GERRY RITZ FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

In a nutshell, the UPOV 91 framework gives seed developers more control over the seed products they produce and provides them with more oppor tunities to collect income from new varieties they bring to market. Canada is among a handful of developed nations that has yet to ratify UPOV 91 and update its plant breeders’ rights laws to conform with the UPOV 91 framework. Supporters of Bill C-18 say it will encourage private sector companies to invest more money in plant breeding at a time when the federal government is reducing its role. The agriculture committee began hearing witnesses’ views on the proposed legislation last week. Protection of the farmers’ privilege was a recurring theme. Despite reassurances from Ritz and other Bill C-18 supporters, National Farmers’ Union president Terry Boehm said the Agricultural Growth Act and UPOV 91 are examples of the continuous erosion of farmers’ rights and privileges. Boehm urged Canadian lawmakers to resist the urge to become “quislings” to multinational seed companies and powerful life science companies at farmers’ expense. “This is not in the public interest,” Boehm told the committee. “It is in the interest of a limited number of seed companies that are continuously consolidating. Seed is one of the inputs that farmers can actually reproduce themselves,” he said. “Farmers are not opposed to paying for new varieties from time to time, but they are opposed to the restrictions imposed by C-18 and … UPOV 91.” Much of the scrutiny directed at Bill C-18 has been focused on the producer’s ability to use farm-saved seed, but other provisions in the proposed legislation that would clear the way for new revenue collection mechanisms could have far-reaching implications at the farm level. For example, provisions in the bill would allow seed developers to collect seed royalties at any point in the production process. This means seed developers could

charge royalties on seed that is harvested, as opposed to charging upfront fees for pedigreed seed bought for planting. End collection systems, known as end point royalties (EPRs), would be specified in contracts between the farmer and the seed company that holds plant breeders’ rights on that variety. EPRs are already being used in some countries and are collected on a pertonne basis, similar to how producer checkoffs are handled in Canada. Although Bill C-18 would not necessarily result in the implementation of an end-point royalty system, opponents say the bill could allow for its future introduction. Under that scenario, producers would still have the right to save and replant farm-saved seed from a PBR protected variety, but grain that is harvested and sold at the elevator could generate end-point royalties, payable to the seed company.

TERRY BOEHM NFU PRESIDENT

Government officials have acknowledged that such a system could be introduced under Bill C-18, as long as the proper regulations are in place. Ritz hinted to NDP MP and agriculture committee member Alex Atamanenko that future regulations to seed royalties will be determined through consultations with the industry. “So would this bill also empower the government to remove, restrict or limit the farmer’s seed saving privilege by passing regulations … something that can happen quickly and without public debate?” Atamanenko said. “Well you know, any government of the day can move forward with regulations,” Ritz replied. “I’m not sure why anybody would want to commit suicide like that as a government. We have tremendous consultations with all of our farm groups all across Canada as to what’s in their best interest moving forward.”

Maple Leaf critical of reforms “But we do a very aggressive domestic recruitment and advertising right across the country.” Employment and social development minister Jason Kenney introduced changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in June, including limiting the percentage of foreign employees at a workplace and reducing the length of time a temporary foreign worker can spend in Canada from two years to one. Kenney changed the program following alleged abuses by fast food restau rants this spr ing. Thre e McDonald’s restaurants in British Columbia allegedly gave more shifts to foreign workers, while a restaurant in Weyburn, Sask., fired long-time waitresses to hire foreign labour. Maple Leaf and other companies in Canada’s meat industry lashed out at the reforms. Ron Davidson, the Canadian Meat Council’s director of international trade, government and media relations, said Canadians don’t want to work at slaughter plants. “We don’t know more that we can do to recruit Canadians. That’s the problem. The whole industry is trying to do it, and we just aren’t getting people.” Morgan Curran-Blaney, manager of the Brandon plant, said this summer that the plant loses about 40 staff every month, and Canadian workers fill only 12 of them. The rest are foreign. McAlpine said reducing the length of time a foreign worker can stay in Canada from two years to one is a critical change to the program. He said in June that Maple Leaf employs 1,200 foreign workers in Western Canada, and approximately 900 are now permanent residents. Most of them are at the Brandon plant, which employs 1,800 to 1,900 people. The plant requires 2,300 workers at full capacity. “We had a model there that was very successfully bringing foreign workers in … training them, acclimatizing them and helping them transition to permanent residency. Over 70 percent of the foreign workers we recruited have achieved permanent residency,” he said. “That limit of one year means, effectively, the bridge to permanent residency has been severed…. We don’t want to spend a bunch of effort, bring in, recruit and train, only to find they have to leave the country and we have to repeat the cycle. That’s not sustainable.” McAlpine said Maple Leaf is reevaluating its use of the program because of the one-year rule and the modified program’s higher costs. It now costs $1,000 for a Labour Market Impact Assessment for every temporary foreign worker, up from $275 under the old rules. McAlpine said Maple Leaf and other meat companies have requested changes to the program and are in discussions with the federal government. Larry Maguire, Conservative MP for Brandon Souris, was not available for comment before the Oct. 10 press deadline.

TRADE | VOMITOXIN

Vomitoxin proposal could hamper Canadian grain trade: experts Health Canada convinces Codex committee to hold off on imposing maximum limits BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — The Canadian wheat industry hopes it has dodged a bullet that could have seriously affected trade. Late last year, a Codex committee was close to rubber-stamping new maximum levels for deoxynivalenol (DON), or vomitoxin. The proposal included a limit of two parts per million on raw cereal grains at the farm level before damaged kernels were sorted and removed. Those standards would have been rapidly adopted by a number of Canada’s key trading partners. The Baking Association of Canada, the Canadian National Millers Association and Food & Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC) wrote a letter to Health Canada urging the agency to push for a more reasonable limit. “The proposed (maximum levels), if adopted by Codex and in turn by importing countries, could have significant adverse consequences for international trade in cereal grains, grain-derived commodities and grain-based further processed foods,” said the group in its letter. Bill Wilson, an agribusiness pro-

fessor at North Dakota State University, recently echoed those concerns. “There is a proposal at Codex coming up to change severely the international standards on vomitoxin, and that will have a tremendous (impact) in the world wheat economy about what’s tradable internally and externally,” he said during a presentation at the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. Blair Rutter, executive director of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, said the proposed standards could seriously restrict trade. “We do have a fusarium problem here, so we don’t want to see the standards too tight,” he said. Susan Abel, vice-president of safety and compliance with FCPC, said the industry recognizes that consuming too much of the fusarium fungus can be dangerous, but setting limits at the farm level is impractical. “It’s so early in the process that we would end up rejecting an awful lot of perfectly good grain,” she said. Millers and bakers are able to significantly reduce vomitoxin levels by running grain through cleaning and sorting equipment and blending it with other ingredients rendering the grain safe to consume.

“We could potentially be putting aside a great deal of grain. That could be very disruptive for farmers and for manufacturers,” said Abel. Wilson said the Codex proposal could also have dire consequences for livestock producers. “(It) will affect the feed market more drastically than we’ve ever seen before,” he said. Abel said Canada’s grain industry had already been working closely with Health Canada on the issue because the government is developing regulations for vomitoxin levels similar to what exist in the European Union. Currently there are only industry guidelines for addressing the problem. The industry wants standards, but it wants them to be reasonable and workable, which is why it was alarmed by the Codex guidelines. “Fortunately, Health Canada did manage to convince the Codex process that we were being a bit hasty,” said Abel. Russia and the European Union had been pushing hard to have the new limits adopted. However, with Health Canada’s intervention, the process has moved from the rubber stamp stage back to the review stage. Wilson said vomitoxin is becomi n g a “ h o r re n d o u s p ro b l e m” around the world.

“This year, the scab and vomitoxin problem in the European Union was so severe they had to change the delivery specs in the Matif contract. That has never happened before,” he said. FOR MORE STORIES FROM THE OILSEED AND GRAIN SUMMIT, SEE OUR MARKETS SECTION, AND P. 34.

WHAT IS VOMITOXIN? • Deoxynivalenol (DON), also known as vomitoxin, is a mycotoxin found in wheat and barley that has been infected with fusarium head blight. Vomitoxin is not always present in plants infected with fusarium, but a high level of scabby kernels in harvested grain increases the likelihood. • Concentrations of vomitoxin are expressed in parts per million (ppm). One ppm is equivalent to one pound per million pounds, or one kernel of wheat in 80 lbs. of wheat. • Grain contaminated with vomitoxin would have to be ingested in very high amounts to pose a human health risk. Vomitoxin contamination can cause feed refusal and poor weight gain in livestock. Source: North Dakota State University

GRAIN COMPANIES | CWB TAKEOVER

Playing the field: CWB eyes its suitors Who will CWB partner with to complete its transition to a fully private company? BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

T’S BEEN AN EVENTFUL two years since CWB took its first steps into Western Canada’s newly deregulated grain market. And the next two years are shaping up to be every bit as interesting. Between now and July 31, 2016, CWB will take another important step toward privatization. By law, the former wheat board must devise a plan to privatize its assets and complete its transformation into a fully competitive, commercial grain handling entity. The plan must be submitted to Canada’s agriculture minister and executed — pending government approval — by July 31, 2017. Information surrounding CWB privatization has been limited. Saskatoon-based Far mers of North America is the only organization to announce publicly that it is interested in acquiring a controlling stake in CWB. However, as FNA officials work to get their investment capital in place, the inevitable question arises: Who

else is out there? What other potential suitors are kicking the tires at CWB? And does a grassroots, farmercontrolled investment group have a realistic chance of garnering the CWB’s attention? In the past, CWB executives, including chief executive officer Ian White, have indicated that they would like to submit a privatization plan well in advance of the July 2016 deadline. They have also indicated that they would prefer a business model that includes some element of farmer ownership. To some observers, this suggests that CWB decision makers might favour a partnership with an organization that is farmer-owned, farmerdirected and pays dividends to producers. But is that necessarily the case? Jay O’Neil, a global grain industry analyst at Kansas State University, doesn’t think so. O’Neil, who has served as a consultant to international grain companies seeking a larger footprint in North America’s grain industry, said CWB will be less concerned by ideology and more about synergies that

allow it to compete as a fully commercial grain handling entity. “I would imagine that they want to use the strengths that they have in Western Canada and the relationships that they have built to establish themselves a valid free-standing business entity,” O’Neil said. That’s not to suggest it would reject partnerships or mergers with larger companies, he added. “There is a great deal of consolidation going on right now, and all of the small- or medium-sized companies are being bought up or merged to create bigger, more efficient operations,” he said. “Would CWB , as a private entity, be an attractive takeover candidate? I would have to say yes, it probably would be,” he said. O’Neil said any company that wants a piece of CWB’s action will need deep pockets, a desire to expand grain origination operations in Western Canada and a bank of assets and resources that complement CWB’s current business. When it comes to farmer ownership, CWB has already taken steps. Under its current equity offering, CWB is offering farmers $5 worth of equity in a privatized CWB for each tonne of grain that they market through the company.

CWB officials have not divulged how much equity they expect to be transferred to farmers through the equity offering. However, if total CWB handlings in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 crops years fall in the range of 20 to 30 million tonnes, which some industry observers say is reasonable, then farmer equity in a privatized CWB could be assumed to fall in the range of $100 to $150 million. That could increase if additional farmer equity is offered in the 201516 crop year. CWB officials have made good on their commitment to develop their own western Canadian grain handling network. The company has amassed an impressive collection of grain handling assets over the past year or more, including Mission Terminal at Thunder Bay, Prairie West Terminal at Plenty, Sask., Great Sandhills Terminal at Leader, Sask., and four new elevators under construction at Colonsay Sask., Bloom, Man., Glenlea, Man., and Pasqua, Sask. CWB also owns two new ships, a fleet of 1,700 hopper cars and a downtown Winnipeg office building. Together, those assets were valued at $34 million as of July 31, 2012. Since then, the value of CWB’s

assets and all other aspects of its financial position have been a tightly guarded secret. Stewart Wells, a former CWB director and current board member with the National Farmers Union, said efforts to acquire information about CWB revenues, spending, grain handling volumes and debt financing arrangements have been unsuccessful. With so many recent CWB acquisitions, some observers are beginning to question where the CWB is getting the money to finance its grain handling network.

Ownership of those funds is still at the centre of an ongoing class action legal battle between farmers and the federal government.

NEWS If I were in their shoes, and somebody hucked me a ball and said, ‘do this, privatize the CWB,’ I would probably be looking for somebody that has characteristics that were complementary to my own … a one plus one equals three sort of situation.

minster Gerry Ritz announced that Ottawa would contribute $349 million of taxpayers’ money to CWB’s coffers to cover extraordinary transition costs. At the time, White said the funds would pay for expenses such as employee severances, pension liabilities and other unspecified costs. By some estimates, $177 million of the $349 million fund was accounted for publicly in the CWB’s 2011-12 financial statements. The fate of the remaining money, approximately $172 million, is unknown. That aside, there are strong indications that CWB’s current buying spree is not over yet. CWB chief strategy officer Dayna Spiring recently said the company will continue to look at additional investment opportunities, including new construction projects and acquisitions of existing facilities. High on CWB’s shopping list is guaranteed port access on the West Coast. Regardless of how much investment capital the CWB currently has at its disposal, there is little doubt that access to a stable pool of additional investment capital would greatly enhance its chances of remaining commercially viable. Some sources in the grain industry have suggested investment capital is near the top of a list that Ottawa and the CWB will use to identify a potential investment partner.

Brian Hayward, a former Canadian grain industry executive, thinks that is not necessarily the case. “I think it’s arguable whether they need somebody with capital or whether they intend to do something like what the Australian Wheat Board did, which is go to capital markets themselves and become a separate company (that is) publicly traded,” Hayward said. “There are other ways that they could slay that dragon.” Hayward, who served as CEO of Agricore United when it was one of Canada’s largest agribusiness companies, said a decision by CWB to acquire capital through a corporate merger or partnership would likely mean forfeiting some degree of control over the company’s operations. The decision to do that can be a huge hurdle to overcome, said Hayward, who helped oversee the merger of United Grain Growers and Agricore in 2001. Leadership in some organizations might forego opportunities for growth if it affords them greater control over their assets and operations. Either way, it is safe to assume that CWB leaders are concerned primarily with strengthening their position in the Canadian market, competing with existing grain handling companies and providing growers with another viable grain marketing option. “If I were in their shoes, and somebody hucked me a ball and said, ‘do

this, privatize the CWB,’ I would probably be looking for somebody that has characteristics that were complementary to my own … a one plus one equals three sort of situation,” Hayward said. “Its base in Western Canada … its relationships with farmers, its knowledge of Canadian markets, where crops are grown, things to do with weather and risks, dealing with railways, dealing with port authorities, that sort of thing. However, what they don’t have is probably a large international network and a strong presence in other countries where there’s growth that’s likely to occur in the future.” O’Neil agreed, saying grain origination and control over logistics are critically important considerations to any company that’s looking to become bigger. In recent years, a number of global grain companies have attempted to expand their export programs without first securing adequate control over grain origination and logistics functions. “That’s what a number of global agribusinesses have found as they expanded on the export side is that they didn’t have sufficient control of train logistics and they didn’t have sufficient control of grain origination to fully meet their needs,” O’Neil said. “Origination is the key to the global grain business. You can’t have a good international operation without good origination.”

Alternatively, the CWB could choose a different path, seeking investment capital from sources outside the grain industry and deferring potential merger and partnership talks until a later date. Regardless of what transpires, grain origination — and its value to potential suitors — will be a key consideration.

Climatologist disputes China crop estimates BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — China’s crops are not nearly as good as the Chinese government professes, says a weather expert. Evelyn Browning-Garriss, an historical climatologist and author of the Browning Newsletter, said the country’s corn and soybean crops were blasted by hot and dry conditions during crucial stages of development. Temperatures in the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean heated up in May to the point where it appeared it would trigger a strong El Nino by late summer. Those conditions surprisingly dissipated, and the El Nino Southern Oscillation is now in a neutral phase. However, the warm waters that existed in May drifted north. By July the warm water had arrived along the coast of China, leading to drought conditions in the North China Plain and Manchuria, where much of the country’s corn, soybeans and winter wheat are grown. The drought conditions arrived at a time when the corn crop was in the vulnerable silking phase and lingered through August, when soybean pods were filling. “It’s not that they’ve had a huge drought,” Browning-Garriss told the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. “It’s that they’ve had a timely one.” She is skeptical about government reports that crops are developing nicely, and said the Chinese have a long track record of talking prices down. “Unfortunately, the (people) who talk (prices) up don’t have much of a voice.” She has noticed that there has been a lot of chatter out of China about its record corn and soybean stocks carried over from previous years. “If you have a great crop, you don’t brag about your storage,” said Browning-Garriss. Last year’s crop was harvested during wet conditions. She thinks that stocks will be of poor quality because China’s grain storage system is subpar. A lot of the corn was piled on the ground and didn’t dry out properly. “Let me tell you, they invested in pre-production, not post-production. Their storage facilities are crap,” said Browning-Garriss. This year’s situation reminds her of 2009, when Chinese officials were boasting about the size of the crop and driving prices down. Prices started to rise by late spring 2010 as the real story about China’s crop started to unfold. “I think we’ll be seeing a repeat of that,” she said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 11.8 million tonnes of Chinese soybean production, down from 12.2 million last year. It is forecasting 217 million tonnes of corn production, down from 218.5 million last year.

The USDA’s corn and soybean yield forecasts are increasing as the harvest progresses. Both crops are at record high yields and overall production, but the USDA’s October forecasts were a little lower than market expectations.

The markets were fed moderately tasty bull feed with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Oct. 10 report, but a bear came out and ate it. That’s how some analysts looked at the United States Department of Agriculture World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates. The report posted U.S. production numbers and ending stocks that were seen as slightly bullish. Analysts had predicted slightly higher U.S. corn and soybean production than the USDA found. They had not generally expected the world wheat ending stocks number to drop by four million tonnes. Yet corn and soybeans fell sharply following an initial rally after the report’s release, which undermined the market’s confidence before the report, when corn had risen for seven consecutive sessions. “In my mind it’ll resume the

downtrend,” said Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications. “We’ll test those lows and see how many buyers step in.” Anderson expects December corn futures to test $3.20 and November soybeans to hit the $9 level. Many were surprised that the USDA reduced 2014-15 world wheat ending stocks to 192 million from 196 million tonnes. However, after an initial price rally, wheat had trouble holding on to any gains the day the repor t was released, with spring wheat futures ending almost flat on the December contract and down a couple of cents for March. Chicago and Kansas City winter wheat contracts closed up only five cents or less. Many in the markets are wondering if crops have posted harvest lows and are beginning a bounce back. However, Ken Ball of P.I. Financial thinks the weak response to neutral or bullish news in the

USDA report suggests lower prices are still possible. “The numbers came in very close to expectations, but there was an expectation that some monster numbers might just pop up, and they didn’t,” said Ball. Soybean futures often hit a bottom in the first week of October, but that hasn’t always been a “final bottom” in recent years, Ball said. It can occur later if the USDA keeps increasing U.S. crop production numbers into January. Also, South America is expecting huge soybeans crops and that provides the potential for another bearish factor in if production goes well there. The U.S. almost ran out of soybeans at the end of the 2013-14 crop year, but there is a chance this crop year that stockpiles will be gigantic once the South American crop is harvested at the end of winter. “If that happens, the bean supply situation is going to get almost out of control,” said Ball.

U.S. forecast to plant more soybeans than corn Four million acres above previous year | Increased acres in 2015 means prices could fall, say market analysts BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Soybean acres could eclipse corn acres in the United States next year for the first time since the early 1980s, says Informa Economics. The firm is forecasting 87.7 million acres of soybeans and 87.3 million acres of corn in 2015-16. It would be four million acres more than last year’s record soybean plantings. Informa chief executive officer Tom Scott said it doesn’t bode well for prices, given the burdensome carryout forecast for the 2014-15 harvest. “We probably haven’t found the (price) bottom yet, certainly with respect to soybeans and soybean meal,” he said. The crop went from a record tight stocks-to-use ratio in 2013-14 to record plantings and yields this year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 12.26 million tonnes of carryout, the largest since 2006-07. Informa expects the stockpile to reach 15.87 million tonnes by the end of next crop year. South American soybean plantings are also expected to increase. The product will hit the market in spring 2015. “Something has got to give,” Scott told the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. “That’s what the market is going to struggle with over the next 12 to 18 months.” Informa expects soybean futures to trade in the $8 to $9 per bushel range for the January through September period, which is below today’s futures values. Soybean meal prices are expected to be in the $225 to $275 per tonne range for the same period, which is also below today’s values. Soybean oil could be the one exception. Scott feels the commodity has already bottomed out. He believes futures prices will be in the 32 to 37 cent per pound range. It bodes well for canola prices, which more closely reflect soybean oil values. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently adjusted corn yields up to 174.2 bushels per acre from its Sep-

Informa believes the number is closer to 176.4 bu. but could be as high as 180. “There are monster yield stories rattling all over the place,” said Scott. “It’s going to fall right to the carryout, and it’s going to put downward pressure on prices.” The USDA is forecasting 52.86 million tonnes of corn carryout, the highest since 2004-05. Scott thinks it could be 57.69 million tonnes, the highest since 1986-87.

He believes corn futures will trade in the $2.75 to $3.50 per bu. range for the January to September period, most likely at the lower end of the range. “Our view clearly is negative as we look forward,” said Scott. The wheat crop is big on paper, but traders don’t trade paper. It is going to be difficult to find good quality wheat in 2015-16. That will mean high prices for top quality product, but the overall trend will be downward pressure on wheat prices, especially if the corn

crop gets bigger. Wheat had been moving into feed markets, but that source of demand will dry up with the bin-busting U.S. corn crop. “I think what we’re going to see is wheat be somewhat of a follower with respect to corn,” he said. The USDA drastically decreased its forecast for U.S. wheat ending stocks to 17.8 million tonnes in its October estimate from 19 million tonnes in September. Informa expects it to be somewhere in the middle.

Agricultural commodities should do better than metals: analyst BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Crop prices should do better than most commodities in the wreckage left at the end of the long-term commodity boom, says a leading predictor of market bubble collapses. As a result, farmers shouldn’t see prices weaken much further from today’s levels. “Prices for these commodities may not necessarily surge right away, but I don’t see them dropping much more from this point,” said Jesse Colombo, an independent market analyst and contributor to Forbes magazine. “Agricultural commodities …

have had a lot of their (quantitative easing) froth let out in the past year or so, and I am actually bullish on them in the longer run due to ongoing monetary debasement, rising population and decreasing supply of quality arable land (and) water supplies.” Quantatitive easing was the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy of increasing the money supply by buying billions of dollars of bonds a month. The program is now wrapping up, but the European central bank is planning something similar to boost that bloc’s economy. Colombo believes commodities such as iron ore, coal and copper are still significantly overvalued and should expect further drops along

with most of the commodities complex. “I am primarily bearish on industrial commodities … that have been in heavy demand from China,” said Colombo, who began warning about a multitude of post-2009 market bubbles in 2011. “They’ve been building scores of empty cities and other grandiose infrastructure projects. I believe China’s growth is fueled by a credit and asset bubble, and the popping of it will decrease demand for those growth-sensitive commodities.” Colombo expected governments around the world to continue to flush money into their economies, cheapening their currencies’ values. However, crop prices will maintain their

values and rise in price because “demand for food is relatively inelastic compared to economically sensitive commodities such as copper.”

Scott expects Chicago wheat futures to trade in the $4.50 to $5.75 per bu. range, Kansas in the $5.50 to $6.50 range and Minneapolis in the $5 to $6.25 range.

LAND | FORMER SOVIET UNION

Russia’s growth potential may be overstated Economics now play role | Analysts say no idle land remains in Ukraine and expansion is at a standstill with political turmoil BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — The untapped agricultural potential of the former Soviet Union is more tapped than people think, according to a couple of experts. Levin Flake, an analyst with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service, said there is no way Russia is returning anywhere close to its Soviet era land base. That was a time when every acre of marginal land was planted because farmers were given seed and inputs to grow their crops. “Economics didn’t really take a front seat,” he told the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. The USDA believes all the good land in southern Russia near the Black Sea ports has been developed. No idle land remains. Siberia is too far from the ports to make farming viable. Crop prices would have to be astronomical to see

MATT AMMERMANN COMMODITY RISK MANAGER INTLFC STONE

more land under production in that region of the country. The only area that might see expansion is in the central district, where farmers are becoming enamored with hybrid corn varieties. Matt Ammermann, commodity risk manger for the CIS/Black Sea region with INTLFC Stone, doubts there will be much, if any, acreage expansion in Ukraine. There was little expansion during the high price period of 2007-12 and there certainly won’t be any expansion occurring with today’s low pric-

es and political turmoil. Ukrainian farmers are having a difficult time financing their existing operations. They can’t use land for collateral because they don’t own the land. It doesn’t help that major banks have been leaving the country because of the threat of war. “You have big issues with financing,” he said. Growers need cash to buy inputs, which is why exports from of the former Soviet Union have been so intense during the first quarter of the 2014-15 crop year. The financing constraints are also why Ammermann expects another huge crop of winter wheat this year. Wheat seed can be saved and re-planted while hybrid corn seed is expensive. He is forecasting a three to five percent increase in winter wheat planting in Ukraine, where 90 to 95 percent of the wheat grown is planted in the winter. Seeding conditions are good in

Ukraine. It is dry in the Volga region of Russia, but Ammermann isn’t overly concerned. “It’s wheat. You spit on it and it will grow,” he said. “We should see another bumper crop as long as weather co-operates.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 38.5 million tonnes of wheat exports from the former Soviet Union in 2014-15, up from 37.1 million tonnes last year. It wasn’t long ago that the region was shipping five million tonnes. Ammermann believes the FSU will remain a tough wheat export competitor in years to come, despite Russia’s stated objective of focusing on the livestock sector and Kazakhstan’s growing interest in oilseeds. Flake said Kazakhstan’s government realizes that competing in the wheat market is not a good long-term strategy because of its transportation challenges. The country is gradually diversifying into feed grains and oilseeds in an

effort to build its livestock herd and export meat to Russia. “They’re not looking at increasing their wheat exports. They’re looking at growing more oilseeds,” said Flake. Ammermann said Ukrainian farmers are becoming more interested in growing corn. Five years ago, Ukrainian corn paled in comparison to U.S. corn in terms of quality. “Now that has tightened up drastically. Practices are basically what they are in the west,” he said. It is helping Ukraine take corn markets away from the United States. It has shipped an estimated one to three million tonnes of corn to China in the past few weeks, taking advantage of China’s concerns over unapproved genetically modified corn traits finding their way into U.S. shipments. The U.S. desperately needs to ship to that big market, given its record corn harvest. “From a price standpoint, it’s just another bearish influence,” he said.

MEAT PRODUCTION | FORECAST

U.S. expects pork production to squeeze out beef for first time in 62 years CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The U.S. government has raised its pork production forecast for the year ending September 2015. It shows pork surpassing beef for the first time since 1952 as hog farmers rapidly recover from a deadly pig virus. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in its monthly World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates

(WASDE), raised the commercial pork production forecast for 2015 to 23.9 billion pounds. That is a 2.6 percent increase from last month’s data and a five percent production increase from 2014. The USDA projected 2015 beef output at 23.8 billion lb., with a marginal upward increase from the September report and a 2.3 percent decline from last year’s production.

Pork producers’ sooner-thanexpected improvement from the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus will result in more hogs in 2015, said USDA and market analysts. Hogs will become readily available as farms largely unaffected by the virus expand their herds, thanks largely to high-priced hogs and lowcost feed, analysts said. On the other hand, it will take at

least two years, which is the time for a calf to reach slaughter weight, before cattle producers can expect a turnaround in the U.S. herd from a 63-year low after several years of drought damaged crops. The WASDE data is catching up to the agency’s quarterly hog report in September, said Purdue University livestock economist Chris Hurt. September’s hog data reflected

herd growth based on increased litter sizes and more sows that will give birth, said Hurt. Affordable feed should to allow producers to feed hogs heavier, which should increase tonnage and offset production losses tied to PED. “(PED) just was not as extreme during the summer months as some had anticipated,” said Hurt.

Wheat, canola boost exports to U.S.

FED CATTLE RISE

MARKET WATCH

he United States is becoming an increasingly important export customer for Canadian

grain. It has always been a significant buyer of Canadian grain, but several factors have greatly increased the cross border flow. Exports south are growing faster than overall exports, resulting in the U.S. accounting for a larger percentage of the grain export pie. So it is a good thing to try to fix anything that impedes this trade, including rail car cycle times to the U.S. that are much longer than cycle times to Canadian ports. The interest in U.S. markets has several drivers. The end of the CWB monopoly made it much easier for Canadian farmers to directly ship to U.S. buyers. Cash prices offered by American buyers are often higher than those offered by Canadian buyers. Also, American companies have been building canola crushing plants on the expectation that U.S. farmers will increase production of the crop. But in the first years of operation, these plants are turning to Canadian growers for supply. As well, Canada’s rail crisis in the last crop year resulted in many plugged elevators. Grain handlers greatly widened their basis to discourage deliveries or simply stopped bidding on grain. American elevators did not have the transportation problem and so had space and more attractive basis bids. The result was a huge jump in southbound exports in the last crop year. The U.S. was already the largest buyer of Canadian non-durum wheat, but exports soared 41 percent last year to 3.09 million tonnes. It accounted for 17 percent of all Canadian non-durum wheat exports, up

Producers appear to have many of their cattle contracted this month, leaving little business for the cash market. Packers are using captive supplies, and interest in the cash market is moderate. Fed prices are trading near historic highs, but packers have gained leverage recently and that is reflected in the weaker basis levels. Light trade Oct. 10 saw steers at $165.48 per hundredweight, up about $3.70 from prices two weeks earlier. Dressed sales were generally $3 higher than reported bids and sales the previous week. Cattle bought last week are scheduled for slaughter in the first or second weeks of November. Western Canadian slaughter last week was 35,621 head, up seven percent over last year. With cow slaughter struggling to keep pace with last year, packers will have little choice but to maintain the A grade kill. Weekly exports to Sept. 27 totalled 8,613 head. Carcass weights are increasing seasonally, helping packers maintain production levels. Western steer carcass weights averaged 894 pounds, the heaviest this year and up 26 lb. over last year at the same time.

In 2010, exports south were 1.06 million tonnes And, you guessed it, it was the leading importer of canola meal with shipments at 3.3 million tonnes, or 96 percent of the total. Back in 2010, Canada shipped only 1.35 million tonnes to the U.S. The U.S. always takes almost all of Canadian oats exports. Last year it bought 1.57 million tonnes.

Aggressive North American demand continues to fuel record feeder prices across the Prairies. Feeder price averages surged more the $6.50 per cwt. even with increased auction volumes. Calves lighter than 700 pounds rose $5-$9. Feeders heavier than 700 lb. rallied $5. Steers 300-400 lb. were an amazing $171 per cwt. higher than the same week last year. The 400-500 lb. class was $150 higher than a year ago. The steer-heifer price spread for 300-600 lb. calves is $25-$34 per cwt. For 600-800 lb. it is $18.50-$19.50.

The spread for yearlings heavier than 800 lb. is $14-$15 and is $1.75-$3 wider than last year. The high prices and the winding down of harvest brought cattle to auction. In Alberta, 45,039 head traded, up 48 percent from the previous week but up only three percent over last year. Weekly exports to Sept. 27 totalled 12,542 head, steady with the previous week.

OPINION

MANITOBA GOVERNMENT | AGRICULTURE

CRAIG’S VIEW

Man. gov’t ignoring economic importance of agriculture

t’s a long and exhausting debate for those directly involved. Ranchers along Lake Manitoba in the province’s Interlake region are no longer able to use the pastures and haylands from which they earned parts of their livelihoods for generations. Water and sucking mud have replaced crops and grasses. Producers blame the provincial government because the Portage Diversion, as it’s called, channels water north from the Assiniboine River into the lake. The pumping began in the early 2000s, which is the same time that water began to creep onto farmland. Then the flood of 2011 pushed water out over thousands of acres of pasture. This summer saw much the same. However, the Manitoba government’s stand is clear. It states outright that paying for flooded pasture and hayland is not a policy goal. Besides, it says, flooding around Lake Manitoba has little to do with the province’s drainage activities. Of course, ranchers in the area reject that claim. Some flooding was inevitable, they say, but the lake could not have crept across a level flood plain for 30 kilometres if the added water flowing in through the Portage Diversion had not pushed it. New drainage channels are now planned, but they are designed to be effective only at high flood levels. They are not expected to help ease the seeping floods that exist now. It’s a mess: a political one for government, a personal one for the ranchers who live there and a literal, physical mess for the sloppy, sodden land that remains. There is also a credibility issue the Manitoba government will have to learn to deal with. It has a track record of not just ignoring rural and farming issues, but in some cases, of outright undermining key economic drivers of the rural economy.

For example, the province has issued a moratorium on new hog barn construction, even as older barns must be phased out of operation. That has caused supply shortages at the Maple Leaf slaughter plant in Brandon and reduction in the workforce. There have also been questions over how long the Manitoba hog industry can remain price competitive with neighbouring provinces and U.S. states if Manitoba packers and farmers have higher regulatory costs. Then there is the province’s steady finger pointing, singling out farmers as responsible for the high phosphorus levels in Lake Winnipeg. The truth is much more complicated, with a number of contributing factors involved, including effluent from Winnipeg itself. It is a provincial government reveling in wedge politics, doing what it can to shore up its mainly urban voter base at the expense of those living in the country. Perhaps it’s time for a new approach, to shift the debate. Instead of the constant parry and thrust of accusation and defence, the province could do everyone a kindness by looking for a path forward. Could it explore ways to ease the situation with a view on the longer-term outlook? Dams, reservoirs and other flood control systems on the Assiniboine River have potential for much more than just flood control. They can provide drought protection and irrigation opportunities to produce higher value crops and can create new recreation sites in some instances. Thankfully, there are signs the Manitoba government is doing just that. Feasibility studies have begun on building new flood control measures on the Assiniboine. It’s early in the process and still a long way off, but it offers a glimmer of hope for producers.

AG POLICY | CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES

Farm groups take aim at Agricultural Growth Act, outdated APP cap CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

fter months of unexpected delays and a lengthy pause for Parliament’s summer recess, the Conservatives’ latest agriculture bill has finally begun its study at committee. Farm groups have anticipated the Agricultural Growth Act since federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz first tabled it in the House of Commons last December. The bill amends nine pieces of agricultural legislation and would see Canada adopt UPOV 91. Most of the country’s agriculture groups support the bill, at least in principle. The notable exceptions are the National Farmers’ Union and the Canada Organic Trade Association,

which argue UPOV 91 is bad news for Canadian farmers. Much of the bill’s controversy revolves around the necessary changes to Canada’s Plant Breeders’ Rights Act, which were required to ratify UPOV 91. The NFU argues the shift aw a y f ro m t h e c u r re n t a g re e ment, UPOV 78, will impede a farmer’s ability to save seed. Ritz has repeatedly brushed aside those suggestions, insisting they are “simply not true.” He told the House of Commons’ agriculture committee Oct. 7 that farmers can do anything they want with the seed as long as they have a contract. “You can move it around 16 times, you can clean it, you can bag it, you can dump the bags out, you can do whatever you want,” he said. “It’s yours until you sell it.” Still, while Ritz may be reluctant to admit it, the NFU’s messaging about the right to save has clearly infiltrated Canada’s farming community. So much so that he’s been forced to request an amendment to the legislation that will clarify the bill’s lan-

guage. He told the committee that the amendment will put more “farmer friendly” language into the bill so that growers know their right to save seed is protected. “In most cases, lawyers aren’t farmers and they don’t get the agricultural jargon,” Ritz said, prompting chuckles from committee members and stakeholders gathered in the room. Pierre Lemieux, Ritz’s parliamentary secretary, would introduce that amendment at committee, he added. The UPOV 91 changes are not retroactive, Ritz stressed. The adjustments would apply only to new varieties. Heritage and other older seed varieties are exempt. As for accusations that the legislation would introduce endpoint royalties and force farmers to pay twice, Ritz said that, too, was nothing more than a misconception. “You either pay the IP up front, as farmers are used to doing now with new varieties of canola, soy, corn, whatever it is,” he said, or wait until farmers want to sell their product and pay the IP at the end.

However, it’s worth noting that the legislation does allow for the creation of a regulatory framework that would allow for the introduction of end point royalties down the road. Farm groups told the committee that the government will need to consult with stakeholders if it decides end point royalties are necessary. However, concerns around plant breeders’ rights weren’t the only points raised by stakeholders. Many farm groups publicly mused last week whether the proposed changes to the Advanced Payment Program were sufficient, particularly given the lessons learned during last winter’s transportation crisis. The Canadian Canola Growers Association, an APP administrator in Western Canada, suggested the maximum loan amount be increased to $800,000 from $400,000, of which the first $100,000 is interest free. Only 10 percent of growers are near or at the current limit, but Rick White, the association’s chief executive officer, pointed out the program’s ceiling hasn’t been raised since 2006.

At the same time, White said, farms continue to get bigger and input costs continue to rise. Raising the cap would keep the program relevant. He told the committee that some farmers aren’t even bothering with the programs because their operating costs are much higher than the minimum amount. However, Ritz appeared reluctant to increase the loan amount to $800,000, saying the program already “captures the vast majority of farms.” “We’re not wanting to over-stimulate size and scope, and since 94 percent to 95 percent of farmers take advantage of the program now in the scope that it’s in, there hasn’t been an appetite to move it further,” he said. “So, we’re hoping that the administrative changes and so on that were in here will actually ease some of that.… Farms of that size and scope actually have other venues of lines of credit.” The committee’s study resumes Oct. 21.

Wetland drainage ads spark discussion

Producer offers many ways to share views

BY MICHAEL CHAMPION

hange starts with dialogue. Talking about the issues that are important to our environment, our families and our future is the best, and only, way to find solutions. Ducks Unlimited Canada’s provincial advertising campaign, Drainage Hurts, has generated much dialogue, which we hope will lead to positive changes in the way we manage Saskatchewan’s landscape. The ad campaign is focused on increasing awareness of the impacts of wetland drainage. It’s designed to initiate discussion among all Saskatchewan residents about the need for policy that protects wetlands and the valuable services they provide. There has been some sensitivity to the ads since the campaign was launched. Water management is a complex issue, and we recognize the many people who have been affected by drainage. The campaign is not pointing a finger at anyone. We believe the issue is important enough that it requires discussion and action. Our staff have been available and are communicating with as many people as we can. Interestingly, Ducks Unlimited’s media campaign has received strong support from most people who have contacted us. We have had a number of calls from those who have been personally affected by the flooding. Producers and the general public alike have faced financial and emotional stress in recent years and want to find practical long-term solutions to the water issues in Saskatchewan.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE, MANAGING EDITOR

Post your concerns on Twitter or Facebook or you can still write a letter Wetlands help retain water and reduce the severity of flooding. | Wetlands are extremely valuable: • They function as natural retention ponds. • They reduce the severity of both flooding and drought. • They filter and purify our water a n d re p l e n i s h g ro u n d w at e r. Despite all these benefits, we’re losing 28 acres of wetlands each day in Saskatchewan. That’s the equivalent of approximately 14 football fields. Draining wetlands has the inadvertent effect of sending nutrients, sediments and other pollutants downstream, along with the additional water volume. This increases the possibility for algal blooms, which contaminate our lakes and rivers. There is abundant scientific evidence that supports the linkages between wetland drainage and flooding and nutrient export.

FILE PHOTO

The most recent research, a 2014 report from John Pomeroy with the University of Saskatchewan’s Centre for Hydrology, has shown that flooding in 2011 in Smith Creek Watershed had a 32 percent peak stream flow increase because of drainage. That flood caused significant infrastructure damage. Producers and communities were flooded. Seeded acres were lost, as were people’s homes. Many other studies have been conducted in Canada and the United States over the last few years that have specifically examined the role of wetlands. They have also found that wetlands play a significant role in reducing flooding, even in the event of extreme precipitation. There are many landscape and climatic factors that we can’t control, but wetland drainage is one that we

can control. Talking about wetland drainage is the first step to finding consensus on the issues and finding solutions. Ducks Unlimited will continue to work with producers, government and our other stakeholders to find common ground on this important issue. We believe a collaborative approach is the best chance of finding appropriate solutions for the complex issue of water management. We need to develop policy that we can all support, one that will protect producers, communities, lakes, and our province’s future. For more information, visit www. ducks.ca/drainagehurts.

GRADE ASSESSMENT | SHOP AROUND, NEGOTIATE

Harvest 2014: making the best of a bad situation HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

here’s no magic wand for making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, but that’s what many producers will try to do as they deal with the myriad of quality issues plaguing this year’s crop. The price range on some crops has moved up dramatically on all grades. Mid-quality product is now worth more than what top quality was worth in August. For example, bids of $8 a bushel have been reported for No. 3 durum. That’s a great price, but there’s still a huge incentive to get the best grade possible. Top quality durum with good protein is fetching more than $12 a bu. in some markets.

Some analysts are pointing at a huge price disparity between bids in Western Canada and what durum is worth in the United States. However, farmers who know their quality and shop around can narrow the price gap dramatically. Don’t rely entirely on posted prices. On red lentils, an X3 is worth 24 cents a pound or more. That too is a great price, but top quality product is being sold for 30 cents. The price spread is even greater on large green lentils, where top quality product has flirted with 40 cents a lb. Here’s something to note about crop insurance: quality is factored into the yield equation. You could be in a claim situation if your yield is close to the crop insurance yield guarantee but your quality is low. If you make a claim, crop insurance is going to grade the sample to make the quality calculation. If you’ve already sold the product, they’ll go with whatever grade you received from the buyer. You may have found a buyer who

gave you an X3 for your lentils, while technically they were a No. 3. This could cost you money on a crop insurance claim. We spent most of the last year bemoaning poor grain movement and the large carryover from the 2013 crop, but that carryover is working well now for many producers. Good quality product from last year gives you more negotiating power for the lower quality produced this year. With malting barley, new crop supplies are so tight that old crop barley that didn’t quite make malting has a good opportunity of making the grade this year. In many regions, malting barley is worth almost twice as much as feed barley. It’s amazing how malting standards drop when good quality is in short supply. Wheat with high vomitoxin levels may be the biggest challenge of all. Blending opportunities become limited when such a large percentage of the crop is affected. Discounted feed wheat prices are

not attractive and are not likely to improve any time soon. Some wheat may be virtually unmarketable and will need to be stored until market dynamics change. This has the potential to become a major problem. The importance of sizing complicates the quality assessment and marketing of kabuli chickpea. The market has been thinly traded, but nine and 9.5 millimetre seed is worth a great deal more than eight and seven mm. Each of the size categories within the sample may have slightly different degrading factors, whether it is sprouting, mildew or disease. Assessing how much upgrading can be accomplished with cleaning, gravity tables and colour sorting is almost as much art as science. Patience and persistence will be important for extracting maximum value from this year’s crop. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

a v e y o u h e a r d o f “n e w media?” Beyond web pages, there is Facebook, Twitter, live blogs and a myriad other places online where people can get information and also find a place for their own voices. The interactive portion of this is the most important part of successful new media channels, along with delivering real information. After successfully delivering the news for more than 90 years, The Western Producer is a captain of traditio na l m edia. Ou r f o u nding fathers and mothers decided early on that letters to the editor — what we call Open Forum — were a critical link to readers. At the WP, those letters aren’t to the editor. You write them to each other, and it is a high traffic part of our paper. On producer.com, readers comment on stories. Last week, some of you began voicing your concerns about a Ducks’ Unlimited radio ad that blamed flooding on agricultural drainage. Our Brandon reporter, Robert Arnason, noticed farmers using the new media tool Twitter to reach one another about the issue. It led him to write a story about the backlash from producers. Shortly after that, Ducks Unlimited contacted him and he was able to add its voice to the story. We’ve run the story on producer. com, and you will read about it in our newspaper this week. Our editors have been accumulating readers’ comments on our feeds at Twitter and Facebook and adding them to the online story. Thousands of you read it in the first day and began following and commenting on the issue. We also started a live blog that accumulates even more material, including photographs and stories from our coverage of the spring flooding events. In short, we and you are doing what we’ve always done, communicating the real news, creating an open forum for discussion and sharing what we know. Producer.com has been around since 1995 and we began posting reader comments right from the start, so I guess all of this makes us new, again, just like we were in 1923.

Ducks Unlimited and other conservancy groups also need to have boundaries and limits placed on their activities. Using Google search “overpopulation of geese” reveals that an overabundance of waterfowl has resulted in permanent damage to the Arctic tundra as quoted in a U.S. Geological Survey: “As the best areas are overgrazed and destroyed, geese move on to graze new areas that are less productive and more prone to destruction. Once the plants are gone, evaporation of soil moisture leads to salinization (salt buildup) of the soil. “In some areas, scientists have documented soil salt levels that are 10 times that of seawater. In these areas, even the stunted Arctic grow-

ing willows are killed by the salt and virtually no plants — at least none usable by wildlife — grow.” This is one example of what can happen when conservancy issues without limits or controls can adversely affect our environment. In Saskatchewan, Ducks Unlimited has now secured 1,858,210 acres and influences a cumulative total of 2,608,502 acres. Not all of that acreage has been managed in a manner that has them recognized as responsible neighbours. Saskatchewan Farm Stewardship Association is a group of Saskatchewan producers that want to ensure there is a meaningful dialogue among all stakeholders whether urban, rural, environmentalist or

conservationists that ensures there is a long-term water management strategy that benefits all residents. David Zerr, President, Sask. Farm Stewardship Assoc. Yorkton, Sask.

CRIMINALS IN WAITING To the Editor: Minister (of public safety and emergenc y preparedness) Stephen Blaney tabled what was called a common sense gun control bill recently in Parliament. What he did do was make cosmetic changes that would have little impact on the average long

gun owner. What he did not do was decriminalize the ownership of firearms for lawful gun owners. Under this law, when your possession licence expires, you now have six months to renew, or you become a felon and may end up with a criminal record and perhaps go to jail for up to 10 years. In July of this year Blaney made the statement that the grace period would be five years. His five years became six months. Amalgamating both POL (possession only licences) and PAL (possession and acquisition licences) basically forces those POL licensees to take a mandatory safety course before renewing the possession licence. This will create difficulties

FACING THE FACTS To the Editor: With the current round of advertising going on with Ducks Unlimited and their critique of drainage, we finally have an opportunity to discuss publicly the elephant in the room. Uncontrolled drainage without any limits or boundaries is just as dangerous to the public as unlimited weight restrictions on our highways. Limits are required to provide order and checks in a system that can only handle so much chaos. We are advocating a water management policy in this province that includes input from all stakeholders to ensure that any significant damage is mitigated before major weather events occur. Conservancy groups such as Ducks Unlimited, Nature Conservancy and Sierra Club et al. need to face basic facts. Agriculture is not going to step back to the ’50s and carry on meaningful production using archaic principles and processes. I do not foresee any member of these groups wanting to revert back to the old pen and paper and the party line phone system. Therefore, why are they demanding that agriculture needs to revert back to the way water and ecosystems were at that time? Economically, agriculture is a key pillar of the economic platform of the Saskatchewan economy. Saskatchewan retains 40 percent of Canadian arable land and employs 13 percent of the Saskatchewan workforce. In 2013, agriculture in Saskatchewan provided $11.8 billion in farm cash receipts and $11.7 billion in agri-food exports. In order to continue to provide these types of production numbers, more efficiency will need to be developed within the Saskatchewan agriculture landscape. Drainage is an integral part of creating those efficiencies. Agriculture producers are not advocating draining every pothole and water body within the production belt but want to work with a system that allows them to farm the best and leave the rest. Members of our association have over 16 percent of the lands they manage in habitat and wetlands. This varies according to the medium term environmental conditions. Wet conditions of the last decade have reduced the productive capability of the land potentially creating medium-term or even irreparable damage due to increased soil salinity, nutrient leaching and acreage loss due to long-term water accumulation.

OPINION for our seniors who have been using firearms most of their lives in rural Canada. It is difficult to understand why (prime minister Stephen) Harper will not decriminalize firearm ownership in Canada. Firearms are the only property that owning without a paper licence can send you to jail for up to 10 years. Plus you will have a criminal record. In the past decade, Harper has promised to repeal the Liberal gun control Bill C-68. He has lied over and over again to the gun owners of Canada. The only thing he did was getting rid of the long gun registration. The police still use the registry, so it really isn’t dead. C-68 is basically alive and well. So, Mr. Harper, we are all tired of your lying. Lawful gun owners will see through all the smoke in 2015. Inky Mark, former MP Dauphin, Man.

he family was happy. Marie was attractive, smart, the kind who wanted to fit in, whatever the circumstance. Jim and Marie’s wedding took place in the city, and family and friends had a good time getting to know each other. Little did Marie realize what it meant to be the daughter-in-law in a culture as different as rural is from urban. She had always enjoyed her visits to the ranch, got on well with Jim’s family and looked forward to having a home of her own. Their home still had to be built, but they could make do in the “old house” until the calving, the seeding … branding … haying … irrigating … and harvesting were done. Marie was a pretty good cook and could handle extra folks, but when a meal was ready, she expected “the men” to be at the table. Marie was willing to plant a garden, but couldn’t believe how much attention it needed before the peas and beans and potatoes could be served. Marie loved the thought of inviting folks for a fine dinner, but didn’t expect she had to bond with all her husband’s friends. The bachelors “were always included.” Marie looked forward to church, but soon realized she had to go alone. She wanted to participate, but few paid heed to the suggestions she made. When decisions about the house were made, details were made, for the most part, without her input. During pastoral visits I heard many daughters-in-law express frustration and loneliness and feelings of rejection. They are reminders of how insensitive we can be to those who try so hard to become part of the family. Joyce Sasse writes for the Canadian Rural Church Network at www.canadian ruralchurch.net.

SEED TREATMENT | SAFETY

Comparing neonicotinoids to DDT called irresponsible BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Ontario’s heated battle over neonicotinoids has nearly reached the boiling point after Ontario’s commissioner of the environment said neonics are worse than DDT. “All the science is not done, but everything that I have before me … suggests to me as an ecologist that this is the biggest threat to the structure and ecological integrity of the ecosystem that I have encountered in my life,” said Gord Miller, who has worked in environmental protection for 37 years. “(It’s) bigger than DDT.” Miller’s comments were based on

the contents of the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario’s annual report, released in early October. Ontario environment minister Glen Murray echoed Miller’s DDT comparison when he told the media that neonics are more toxic than DDT. Neonicotinoids, which are applied as a seed treatment to almost all of the corn and canola in North America and most soybeans, have been linked to bee colony losses across the United States and Canada. In September, Ontario beekeepers filed a $450 million class action suit against neonicotinoid manufacturers Syngenta and Bayer, claiming production losses dating back to 2006. Miller’s statements generated pro-

vocative headlines and also provoked stern rebuttals from Grain Farmers of Ontario and Crop Life Canada. Both organizations said Miller’s comments were irresponsible. “It’s disappointing that Miller’s comments call into question our world-renowned regulatory system,” said Barry Senft, GFO chief executive officer. “Neonicotinoids went through years of rigorous testing before being approved by the PMRA (Pest Management Regulatory Agency). If there were any similarities to DDT, neonicotinoid-based products would not have been permitted into the marketplace.” Pierre Petelle, vice-president of

chemistry for Crop Life Canada, an organization made up of crop protection companies, said the environment commissioner’s comments don’t fit with the contents of the report. “He got some of it right when he said bee health is complex and it’s affected by the number of different factors,” Petelle said. “He seems to single out one chemistry in his commentary as being the only culprit. It just doesn’t match up with the reality.” Miller ’s DDT comments were based on studies showing neonics can accumulate in soil and water. University of Saskatchewan research has determined that neonics are present at detectable levels in

sloughs and wetlands in Western Canada. The insecticides are possibly killing bugs that come in contact with the water. A lack of insects reduces the food supply for birds and animals that rely on the insects. Keith Solomon, a University of Guelph toxicologist, said earlier this year that comparing neonics to DDT is incorrect. “In no way is it (comparable). DDT was very persistent. It was metabolized into a metabolite called DDE that was even more persistent. “And it also bio-magnified through the food chain. It (DDT) dissolved very easily in fat and moved up through the food chain. All of that led to issues, at least in birds.” Solomon said neonic insecticides don’t bio-accumulate in species and don’t move up the food chain. Miller said the environmental threat from neonics is distinct from DDT, which built up in birds and compromised the health of raptors. “This (neonics) is much more broad spectrum. It’s an aqueous soluble, which means it moves in the water system. It moves through the soil and into the streams.” Petelle said that conclusion is based on a few studies and ignores a wider body of research. “He didn’t convey the whole story. He cherry picked, in his report, a couple of studies that supported his view of the world.”

A nursery-finisher barn in southeastern Manitoba that was thought to be the province’s fifth case of porcine epidemic diarrhea has tested free of the virus. The office of the province’s chief veterinarian said Oct. 9 that subsequent sampling of the suspected case, which was initially confirmed Sept. 30, proved there was no infection. However, the chief veterinarian continues to investigate. Manitoba Pork chair Karl Kynoch said in a statement that pigs, manure and the environment of the site were tested, and repeated visits to the unnamed farm resulted in no clinical signs of PED infection. “It was also noted that this site had good biosecurity practices and was not directly linked to any positive farm,” said Kynoch. “The PEDv source of the positive test from the site is unknown.” PED is almost always fatal to young piglets and also affects the health of older animals. As the name indicates, it is characterized by acute watery diarrhea that results in death from dehydration and malnutrition. Sixty-three farms have been affected in Ontario, four in Manitoba and one each in Quebec and Prince Edward Island. Effects of the virus have been more severe in the United States, where it has been found in 31 states and has killed millions of piglets. Iowa, North Carolina and Minnesota have the highest number of cases.

Group calls for larger advance payments to farmers

CTA dismisses complaint against railways

$400,000 limit isn’t enough, says canola group BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Canola Growers Association wants Ottawa to extend more credit to farmers through the Advance Payments Program. Executive director Rick White told a parliamentary committee in Ottawa that the number of farmers applying for APP loans was greater than ever in the 2013-14 crop year. Rail backlogs that disrupted grain deliveries across much of Western Canada last winter created shortterm cash flow problems for thousands of farmers, he said. As a result, applications to the program were up significantly. In an Oct. 9 presentation to the House of Commons’ agriculture committee, White said his organization supports provisions in Bill C-18, the Agricultural Growth Act, which will loosen APP eligibility rules and allow farmers to access cash advances more easily. However, White also suggested that the current credit limit of $400,000 per producer is no longer enough to provide an adequate level of relief to many large farmers. “The number of farmers that are hitting the limit at $400,000 is increasing,” he said. “When you look to the future, farm sizes are getting bigger … input prices keep going up and $400,000 doesn’t go nearly as far as it used to.” The CCGA is Canada’s largest administrator of cash advances through the Advance Payments Program. The program allows farmers to acquire short-term loans using future grain sales as security. Under current program rules, maximum loans are set at $400,000 per producer, with the first $100,000 offered interest free. The remainder is loaned at prime commercial lending rates, with full repayment expected within 18 months or less. In the 2013-14 crop year, the CCGA advanced APP loans worth $1.59 billion, up 50 percent over the previous year. Nearly 12,500 farmers took advantage of the program, compared to fewer than 10,000 a year earlier. The Agricultural Growth Act, which the agriculture committee is currently studying, proposes amendments to the Advance Payments Program. White said the proposed amendments will result in a more responsive program that is better equipped to address farmers’ short-term cash flow needs. However, credit limits need to be reviewed and expanded, he said. In addition, financial penalties that are imposed when growers fail to provide adequate documentation are frustrating farmers and creating an unnecessary administrative burden, he said. White suggested that the Agricultural Growth Act should include additional amendments to the program.

Service issues | Producer group’s challenge denied, while Louis Dreyfus’ claim upheld BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Transportation Agency has issued decisions on a pair of rail service complaints filed earlier this year against the country’s two largest railway companies. In a decision issued Oct. 1, Canada’s rail regulator dismissed a level of service complaint that the Canadian Canola Growers Association filed in May 2014 against Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway. The CCGA complaint charged that CN and CP had failed to meet their service obligations to deliver cereal,

pulse and oilseed crops from elevators in Western Canada to port terminals and other North American destinations. In early July, the two railways filed motions to have the CCGA complaint dismissed, arguing it was broad, illdefined and lacked sufficient detail and evidence. The transportation agency supported the railway’s arguments, claiming CCGA’s complaint did not “disclose a reasonable cause of action” and was therefore inadmissible. CCGA officials expressed disappointment in the CTA’s decision, calling it a blow to prairie farmers.

“The CTA’s decision not to hear our case is a big blow to tens of thousands of western Canadian farmers,” chief executive officer Rick White said in an Oct 2 news release. The association said it would continue to press for changes that provide farmers with responsive and reliable rail service so the problems encountered in 2013 aren’t repeated. In another complaint the CTA upheld Louis Dreyfus’ claim that CN failed to meet contractual obligations to deliver grain cars to four Louis Dreyfus grain collection facilities in Saskatchewan and Alberta. In a 41-page ruling, the CTA deter-

mined that CN’s rail car deliveries to Louis Dreyfus facilities at Aberdeen, Sask., Glenavon, Sask., Joffre, Alta., and Lyalta, Alta., were 3,300 fewer than the number of cars that were ordered. The shortfalls occurred mainly between November 2013 and April. The CTA decision ordered CN to comply with the terms of its contract with Louis Dreyfus for the remainder of the contract. It also suggests that monetary penalties may be levied against the railway in the event that CN chooses “to fulfill its service obligations to LDC by reducing the service it provides to other shippers.”

The Snows said they hope the sale will open new markets for their juice in the world of professional sports. “It’s very exciting,” Susan Snow said after the deal was announced Oct. 9. “Chris Jones called us. He, being innovative, found that one of the teams, Auburn University, their players were using cherry juice and they are using it as an anti-inflammatory. He looked for a Canadian source and he found us.” Rose Phillip, senior director of communications for the Eskimos, said there is no formal sales deal with the team. The Snows said Jones himself made the purchase rather than the football organization. Cherry juice is said to have natural medicinal properties, although the Snows cannot make any official claims to that effect on their product labels.

I’m not a big football fan, but now I am. SUSAN SNOW CHERRY PRODUCER

Instead, they cite anecdotal evidence that their juice helps reduce aches and pains. The Eskimos have three games left in the regular CFL season and were second in the league standings as of Oct. 10. The Snows said Jones has enough cherry juice to last through this season and into the next. “I’m not a big football fan, but now I am,” said Snow, adding her husband will also be cheering for the Eskimos this year. Snow said she and Gary delivered the juice in person, and Jones gave them a tour of Commonwealth Stadium, which included the view from the gridiron. “It was kind of surreal and exciting all at the same time.” Tabletree cherry juice won top prize in 2012 at the World Juice conference in Barcelona, Spain, and the company’s apple juice placed second in the same competition last year. Those awards, plus attention from professional football, have increased the company’s profile, but expansion plans have been stifled by lack of financing. “What we did wrong is that we looked at financial institutions first,” she said. “We should have been looking to private investors. There is so much going on with the company right now. It has to go to the next step.”

Manitoba grower credits drainage tile | Alberta farmer says even with rain and snow delaying harvest, yields turned out to be a pleasant surprise BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Prairie potato growers are digging up decent yields in the face of adverse weather conditions. The harvest is expected to wrap up next week. Terence Hochstein, executive director of Alberta Potato Growers, said producers have faced a wide variety of elements over the last six weeks. “From about the last week of August on has been just horrendous. Snow, rain, you name it, we’ve had it,” he said from his office in Taber, Alta. “It has been a challenging year.” Hochstein said growers have reported solid yields, and an average crop is expected. Alberta potato growers typically produce 350 hundredweight per acre. “All things being considered, it’s turned out to be a pleasant surprise,” Hochstein said. “It’s not a bumper crop year, but it’s not a disaster.” Hochstein said the dreadful weather delayed harvest by 10 to 14 days. Alberta producers are normally done digging by the end of September. Dan Sawatzky, manager of the Keystone Potato Growers Association,

said the story is similar in Manitoba. Conditions were wet in late August and September, which delayed the har vest. However, growers are reporting yields of around 300 cwt. per acre, which is normal or slightly higher than the province’s five year average. “Last year we averaged about a 310 average,” he said. “I would put this crop up close to the 300 mark, but I’m really just speculating.” Manitoba’s potato harvest is 85 percent complete, he added. “Overall it’s a good average crop.” Sawatzky said the results prove that drainage tile preserves potato yields when conditions are wet. “There’s been a lot of drain tiling installed here the last few years. I think that has shown to pay off on a year like this.” Yields may be marginally up, but Manitoba’s potato production will be down this year. Manitoba farmers grow processing potatoes for a Simplot french fry plant in Portage, McCain Foods plants in Carberry and Portage and a Cavendish Farms plant in Jamestown, North Dakota. The processors reduced the volume of process potato contracts in Manitoba by 13 percent this year. Some of

the companies said they are shifting production to other regions, particularly the Pacific Northwest, where potato yields are higher and can be cheaper to buy. Sawatzky said Manitoba growers will likely produce sufficient potatoes to satisfy the contracts, but it’s unclear how the smaller crop will affect french fry production in the province. “McCain had cut (volumes). They will have to look at how they intend to the run the two plants they have in Manitoba with that decreased volume (of potatoes),” he said. “Depending on how the crop ends up, that will determine how they plan to manage their plant capacities.”

• For the second year in a row, Manitoba had the largest decrease in seeded area, down 9.4 percent to 63,384 acres. • Prince Edward Island farmers reported the largest increase in seeded area for 2014, up 1.7 percent from 2013 to 90,500 acres. Source: Statistics Canada

CREATIVE EDGE NUTRITION | HEMP TECHNOLOGIES PURCHASE

U.S. company invests in Canadian hemp sector BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DRESDEN, Ont. — Canada’s relaxed regulatory stance toward hemp may lead to a U.S. company investing in Ontario and Alberta. “Canada has a remarkable regulatory advantage, and there’s good land and climate for growing hemp,” said Sam Alawieh, a board member of Creative Edge Nutrition and executive director of Hemp Technologies, which Creative Edge recently bought. “They’ll not allow us to do this in the U.S.,” he said. “All you can do with hemp here is research and development for industrial hemp.” Alawieh said the company plans to use hemp for its grain, fibre and pharmaceutical content. Farmers in Ontario and Alberta would be contracted for production. “We call it the hemp eco-complex,” he said. “We want to maximize usage and compete with prices for corn and soybeans.” Canada already has a significant grain hemp industry, especially in the West. Other countries also have hemp fibre industries, but developing a competitive processing technology has proven a major challenge in North America. Alawieh said Hemp Technologies looks to combine technologies from around the world and add its own innovations to make it work.

Hemp fibre is used to make products as varied as building material, insulation and clothing. Phar maceuticals can also be extracted from hemp, although regulations, even in Canada, will need to change before that can happen commercially. Strains that are low in THC, which is the hallucinatory ingredient in marijuana, can have significant levels of other cannabinoids, Alawieh said. There is growing evidence that these are anti-carcinogenic and/or can help control pain and seizures, he added. Creative Edge Nutrition also plans to invest in medical marijuana in Canada. It announced its intention earlier this year to build an indoor facility in Lakeshore, Ont. The plan is to build a secure, indoor, climate-controlled facility capable of producing 1.3 million pounds of marijuana. Alawieh said Health Canada will soon list Creative Nutrition as an authorized licensed producer. He said there is a specific investment proposal for Alberta but would not provide details. Creative Edge Nutrition is headquartered in Madison Heights, Michigan. According to company’s website, it markets nutritional and weight management products, including those that contain hemp, as well as plant materials such as chamomile, ginger, dandelion root and green tea.

FEED SECTOR | NEW OFFICIAL

Variety registration priority for Feed Coalition chair New leader outlines issues | Availability of feed barley is a concern for the beef industry that promotes grain-fed product BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Glenn Logan is the new chair of the Feed Coalition, which promotes the interests of Alberta’s feed industry. The farmer, seed grower and feedlot owner from Lomond will add that task to his others as a director with Alberta Barley, a member of the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association and leadership involvement in 4-H. Logan said he is getting familiar with the coalition’s ongoing projects but has already identified the plant

variety registration process as a hurdle to producers’ early access to new feed varieties. “Producers want to be able to see faster benefits from variety research,” he said. However, he said changes to the registration process could potentially reduce what seems to be the typical 10-year process for new variety registration. The coalition also has input into crop research, where its interests include improved nutritional value of livestock feed.

Logan said consistent availability of barley for feed is another focus. Barley acreage has been shrinking over the past several years because of its lower returns relative to other crops. The food grade and malt industries also take a cut of that crop. However, Logan said the beef industry has partially staked its reputation on grain-fed product that produces a particular taste and fat color, so consistent supply is important. “The brand they’ve established for themselves as grain-fed beef, we don’t want to give that up.”

Barley also produces firm, whiter pork when used in hog diets. Acreage planted to grain corn in Alberta has been slowly increasing with the availability of shorter-season varieties that require fewer heat units to achieve yield and quality. Corn-based livestock diets, which are the norm in the United States, result in different meat characteristics. Widespread use of corn in Canadian livestock feed could result in lost product differentiation. Coalition manager Kelly Chambers said Logan’s experience in many

aspects of the agricultural industry will serve the organization well. “His passion for feed is exactly what we need to build consensus and drive the competitiveness of our industry,” Chambers said in the announcement of Logan’s appointment. The non-profit coalition includes producer associations from the beef, dairy, pork, poultry, wheat and barley sectors, as well as processors, industry representatives and researchers with the shared goal of increasing the feed industry’s competitiveness and profitability.

New regulations in Alberta make it easier for elk farmers to recover escaped animals and qualify for insurance. However, it also potentially puts them on the hook for damages caused by elk on the lam. Previously, producers had 48 hours to recover their escaped elk. Those that remained missing for longer than that were considered wild animals and could be hunted. Under the new rules, farmers are permanently recognized as the owners of the escaped elk, which will help them qualify for proper insurance. “(Elk farmers) have felt like they’re a little bit in one atmosphere and a little bit in another,” said provincial agriculture minister Verlyn Olson. “Sometimes they feel like their animals are being treated like wild animals and farmed animals. These regulations clarify things.” It also clarifies things for elk hunters. Olson said hunters will not be liable if they shoot a farmed elk, but they must report such kills. Connie Seutter, chair of the Alberta Elk Commission, said the changes are welcomed. “It’s been on our producers’ minds for a very long time. “I’m glad we can finally come to our annual convention and tell them it’s done.” The regulatory changes also have critics. Alberta Liberal agriculture critic Laurie Blakeman is concerned that chronic wasting disease could contaminate wild herds if infected farmed elk escape. Being able to track escaped animals is important, she added. “We need to take chronic wasting disease seriously. We’re still being told it’s not happening, but it’s everywhere in Saskatchewan and it’s going to come across and many people believe it already has,” she said. Seutter said 50,000 heads of farmed elk have been tested since one case was found in 2002, and none were positive. “To put out the notion our animals will infect the wild animals is completely unfounded,” she said.

CANADIAN AGRICULTURAL SAFETY ASSOCIATION | BACK TO AG

Program aims to keep farmers at work Accessibility tools | Canadian farmers injured on the job can access funds to help get them back in the fields BY KAREN MORRISON

SASKATOON BUREAU

OTTAWA — Canadian farmers injured on the job can now apply for up to $10,000 to support their safe return to work. The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association kicked off the application phase of its Back to Ag Program in Ottawa Oct. 8. Dean Anderson, agricultural program manager with Workplace Safety and Prevention Services in Guelph, Ont., and incoming CASA chair, said the program will provide accessibility tools such as ramps and lifts to help producers and farm workers return to the agricultural workplace.

He said the program addresses some of the shortfalls experienced by many injured farmers whose special needs are not being met. “Farmers can return to the work in a meaningful way, can reduce the financial impact on operations, regain a sense of self-worth and return to what they love doing,” he said. “An effective return to work program is the best way to manage the impact of injury financially, physically and emotionally.” A successful two week social media campaign to raise funds and create awareness about the program this spring resulted in 18,000 connections and 2.3 million hits. CASA created Back to Ag with Farm Credit Canada, which donated

$100,000 to the program, and the Rick Hansen Foundation. Colin Ewart, the foundation’s vicepresident of strategic partnerships, detailed his organization’s work supporting injury research and im-

proved accessibility to create a more inclusive world. “Back to Ag will help those with disabilities get back to a high quality of life,” he said of funds for retraining and workplace modifications.

“The program will help injured farmers get back to work and support them in that process.” Marion Popkin of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture said Back to Ag will allow disabled farmers to

stay on their farms. “Sometimes when farmers are injured, they leave agriculture altogether, but there’s usually always a way they can contribute,” she said. Assistance can include hand controls on a tractor or adapting a vehicle. “There’s a lot of ways that it could be applied to make someone’s life more useful.” The program is a first for CASA, but one Liz Ellis Clark hopes will be the first of more to come. “Depending on interest, it could continue on,” said CASA’s development officer, who cited the individuals and organizations that have also contributed to the program. Applicants, who must be 18 years or older and can demonstrate how adaptive technology will help them return to work on the farm, have until Nov. 28 to apply. A committee will review their applications for funding, ensure that the requested devices would be safe to use on the farm and make its selections by January. Successful applicants will then have nine months to implement or install the devices.

FARM SAFETY | RESEARCH

Fewer funds available for Canadian officials to study and monitor farm safety BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON BUREAU

OTTAWA — Funding shortfalls for farm safety programs and research challenges safety initiatives, delegates were told during the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association’s annual conference Oct. 7-9. Dr. Jim Dosman of the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture said funding for groups like CASA needs to be enhanced, not cut. “The lack of funds for applied research makes it difficult to monitor

partnerships between research and prevention,” he said, citing the need for ongoing studies in an increasingly technological agricultural workplace. CASA has previously received $1.3 million in annual federal funding, but that’s been reduced to $600,000 and has forced the group to find at least that much from other sources. “We knew there would be a reduction; we didn’t expect it to be that much,” said CASA executive director Marcel Hacault. He said it means more leg work for

the group in building relationships with agribusiness, government and other organizations. He said the group’s situation is not unique, noting other organizations have faced similar funding shortfalls, including 4-H and the Outstanding Young Farmers Program. He said the funding change is a mixed blessing, with CASA now able to lobby government, something that wasn’t possible when it was the sole funder. In addition, the change has led to new relationships with associations,

such as Progressive Agriculture Safety Days and agribusiness, which are already engaged with farmers. “Farmers like to get messages from g ro u p s t h e y d o b u s i n e s s w i t h already,” Hacault said. Henry Vissers, executive director of the Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture, stressed the need to maintain a base level of funding. He said the change in funding means there is no support for farmers to make their farms safer. “There’s no immediate gain in putting farm safety practices in place on

a farm, so any kind of incentive to help them to do it is a good thing,” he said, citing his organization’s plans to secure funds from the Nova Scotia government. Denis Bilodeau, outgoing CASA chair, said reduced finances for a national organization is limiting, but the group will continue with its mandate.

Nutritious potatoes: a global superhero for centuries TEAM RESOURCES

Potatoes are a staple in many poor countries

rom saving the lives of sailors to being the first food grown in space to being an answer to world hunger: the potato has an historic past and a promising future. Potatoes were first grown about 7,000 years ago in the poor soil and harsh climate of the South American Andes Mountains. The Spanish introduced them to Europe in the late 1500s. During the seafaring age, it was discovered that sailors who ate potatoes while on long voyages didn’t develop scurvy, a vitamin C deficiency disease. The addition of easily transportable, vitamin C rich potatoes to sea voyagers’ diets saved lives. In 1996, five Norland variety potato leaves circled the Earth for 16 days aboard the space shuttle Columbia. Tubers sprouted In the microgravity environment of space, making the potato the first food ever grown in space. For more information on this experiment, visit www.engr.wisc.edu. Potatoes grow more quickly, on less land and in harsher climates than other major crops. They’re easy to grow and don’t require large amounts of water, fertilizer or chemicals to thrive. Potatoes produce more food than any other major crop because up to 85 percent of it is edible, compared to around 50 percent in cereals. A single serving contains almost half the recommended daily requirement of vitamin C and a fifth of the recommended daily amount of potassium. They are also low in calo-

When eaten with the skin on, they are a good source of soluble and insoluble fibre. They are one of the richest sources of B-complex vitamins such as pyridoxine (vitamin B6), thiamin, niacin, pantothenic acid and folates. Potatoes also contain adequate amounts of many essential minerals such as iron, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus and copper. The potato’s ability to produce abundant nutritious food on marginal land with most of the nutrients needed for sustenance has elevated it to the forefront in fighting world hunger and poverty in many developing countries.

Love of land, livestock lures kids back Children put education to work | Mechanic, animal health technician and law student all keen on keeping farm in the family BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

CROSSFIELD, Alta. — Darcey and Leisa Gallelli are third generation farmers living through an agricultural revolution. Their three adult children are as adept with computers as they are working cattle or farming the land. Even though the children have offfarm jobs, they have made it clear they are coming back. That commitment to agriculture was the basis of a master farm family award from Rocky View County. “You have to have that passion for it or it’s not going to work,” Leisa said from their home west of Crossfield. They live in the shadow of Calgary and the lure of better paying jobs elsewhere, but when things get hectic, their children, Russell, Raymond and Kelly, are at their side. “Our plan was never to sell the land. It is to be passed on. It was passed on to us and it is going to be passed on to the next generation,” said Leisa. “There are not a lot of farm families in our situation, where all three or four of the kids want to come back. It is an entirely different retirement plan,” she said. The children appreciate the responsibility of keeping a multi-generation farm running. Many in Darcey’s and Leisa’s generation left for the city and never returned. “A lot more kids are staying in this area from the time we started until now. That is when we lost all the farmers,” said Darcey. The kids have a different idea. “I would like to take over the operation and expand the grain side of things, but the way cattle keep going up, I would like to expand that, too,” said Russell, who is a journeyman agriculture mechanic. Kelly is an animal health technician and works on a purebred operation near Red Deer. However, she has cattle and horses at the home place so she is never far away. Raymond plans to return as well, once he completes his studies in economics at the University of Lethbridge and finishes law school. Russell says many of his friends feel the same. “We always head back to the farm where it’s all hands on deck,” he said. The mixed operation came down through Leisa’s family, who came to Alberta in 1884. Her grandfather, George Murdoch, came to Canada from Scotland in the 1850s and he followed the railroad west. He arrived in Calgary in 1883 and was the first mayor from 188486. His son was the first farmer in the family. Darcey descended from Italian immigrants who first landed at Ellis Island in New York at the beginning of the 20th century and then headed west looking for work. Part of the family started a construction business in Calgary and another branch decided to farm.

The Gallelli family of Crossfield, Alta., was recently named a Master Farm Family by Rocky View County for their dedication to the business and their community. They include Darcey, left, Leisa, Raymond and Russell, as well as daughter Kelly, missing from the photo. | BARBARA DUCKWORTH PHOTO These days they have more than 2,000 acres where they grow wheat, canola and malting barley. Their barley has won competitions in the past and is contracted to Rahr Malt, where it is used for craft beer. Until recently, they also grew export timothy hay, but that business ended when the parents wanted to cut back on the workload. They also cut back on the cow herd, selling their commercial herd in three packages and the purebred Charolais to P & H Ranching at Innisfail, Alta. Their children maintain a small herd, and both sons are active showmen. They received their start with cattle through 4-H at the Crossfield Beef Club, where their parents were leaders. Russell and Raymond now work with youth conducting grooming and showmanship clinics. “Every single one of them have gone back to their original clubs to help with events,” Leisa said. The family also helped organize the youth program Summer Synergy at Olds, Alta., making sure Charolais were well represented. Raymond had the grand champion commercial female this year and has earned about $5,000 in scholarships over the years. Darcey and Leisa’s first home as a married couple 23 years ago was near Balzac, but they decided to move into a renovated house owned by Leisa’s parents as Calgary edged northward and they could see traffic lights from the tractor. Part of their former farmland is now a northwestern Calgary community called Evanston. Development pressures are top of mind, and they are disappointed to see high quality farmland covered by pavement.

Russell’s job takes him throughout southern Alberta, and he shakes his head over what is happening. “They are developing some of the best land in Alberta. I see land from sandy clay to dry, dry land, where they can’t get a crop unless they run a pivot. We’ve got the best land right here,” said Russell. However, his parents understand the reality. “If farmers made more money from farming, they would not be so tempted to sell off that first parcel, but it is very tempting to do something like that when you can make so much money,” Leisa said. The land is rich, but it is also part of an area called hail alley. They watch the skies all summer and cross their fingers that crops make it to harvest. “The potential is there, but we don’t talk about it too much until it is in the

bin,” said Leisa, who is an agronomist with an agriculture degree from the University of Montana. She inspects the crops and watches the growth stages, determining whether they need pesticides or other treatments. She also has some private clients. Darcey is a journeyman heavy duty mechanic and an early adopter of technology with plenty of support from his sons. While Russell and Darcey are both mechanics, their approach to work is different. W h e re a s D a rc e y w o u l d hav e hauled his tools out to physically fix machinery, Russell uses an iPad to run computer diagnostics on tractors, balers, combines and sprayers. “If I was to go out to a farm without my computer, I would be lost.

FARM LIVING pretty well everything mechanical, but there are so many codes and systems on tractors and combines and drills, it is hard for the farmers to really remember everything that is going on,” he said. The farm switched to a GPS system about 10 years ago and is now on a second generation of equipment. “It was one of those things where you don’t jump in and learn it all at once. It takes years to learn that,” said Darcey. They noticed a difference the first year. “You are wasting less and you get a better crop overall because you don’t have overlaps. The overlaps were where you got all the problems in your crop, ” he said. Russell appreciates his father’s expertise. “All our fields are documented and boundar ies outlayed, sloughs marked, rocks marked, well heads

marked,” he said. “You go to a lot of different farms and you go to start a field, they don’t even have the boundaries marked. They are just using it for straight tracking, not for farming. “You own this expensive technical piece of equipment and you are not using it to its full potential, whereas I think Dad is right up there using it to its utmost.” The farm is such a good example of modernity and family values that it has become a favourite tourist destination. Grain companies bring groups of Japanese and Americans every summer to examine the malt barley and the general operation. The tourists can also see a family working together with long-term plans to continue rather than selling out to developers or a corporation. The family is the tie that binds. “You won’t see a corporate farm that is four generations,” said Russell.

SPLAYED FEET | PREVENTING PAIN

Along with age comes fatter feet HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

As I get older, I notice that my toes are getting gradually splayed further apart from each other. The result is that my shoes do not fit well as my heels are still quite narrow, but the front of my foot is wider and flatter. The arch of my foot is still good. I have high arches. What causes splayed toes and is there anything I can do to stop the problem from getting worse? My feet are in pain at times if I walk too far.

You say that your arches are good, but I think you may mean that the longitudinal arches are fine. However, the problem is with the transverse arches. They cross the front of the foot before the toes from left to right. They have become flattened, resulting in strain on the foot in places that are not used to such pressure. As a result, you may have calluses on the balls of your feet, which can be painful. The front parts of your feet become broadened due to the metatarsal bones splaying out in a fan shape. The toes, which are attached to these bones, will follow the pattern and also spread further apart. Splay foot is one of the most common foot problems. Older women are more likely to get it than men. Women tend to have smaller feet and may have also worn high heels frequently. High-heeled shoes put more weight on the front of the foot than is normal and being overweight also adds to the problem. The diagnosis is usually obvious without need for X-rays or other tests, due to the appearance of your feet and the pattern of wear in your shoes. The distribution of corns and calluses on your feet will also follow a predictable pattern. Treatment is only necessary if you are in pain or discomfort. First of all, you should make sure you buy shoes that are wide enough with flat heels. There are special orthotic inlays that can help take the pressure off the ball of the foot. There are also certain exercises that can be recommended by your podiatrist. If you are overweight, losing a few pounds might be a good plan. If you get pain, then you may need to rest your feet for a while and take antiinflammatory medications until the pain subsides. In severe and intractable cases, there are several different surgical procedures available.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP | MARKET GARDEN, TREE NURSERY

Jack-of-all-trades tells how to build, expand, diversify, invest Do it, write it | Farmer gives advice on growing trees, raising trout, grazing cattle, landscaping BY DUANE MCCARTNEY FREELANCE WRITER

BOYL, Alta. — Bruno Wiskel worked as a geologist in Alberta when oil was $10 a barrel. He described his job as a “golden handcuff tied to a desk.” Wiskel was an ideas man and didn’t like sitting still so he bought a farm near Colinton, Alta., and started a market garden business. “My first crop in 1987 that was a financial success consisted of one acre of pickling cucumbers and I called my farm Mr. Vegetable,” said Wiskel. The vegetable operation expanded gradually, with Wiskel adding apples and saskatoons, one acre of raspberries and one acre of strawberries. He also stocked his pond with rainbow trout, started a U-fish operation and wrote the first of many books, Pond Raising Rainbow Trout. His operation needed to expand so Wiskel bought 25 acres near Boyle, Alta., along a major highway. “The business boomed due to the heavy traffic going past my place, said Wiskel. He increased his fruit and vegetable acreage and added a small sawmill to provide year round income. “I found that the most valuable commodity from the wood lot was selling the wood chips. Used as mulch around newly planted trees, it drastically reduced the amount of water required,” he said. That spawned his next book, Woodlot Management. He then designed an energy-efficient home on his acreage, with no hallways and no windows on the north walls to reduce heat loss. “With the sun’s heat, and a good wood stove, I use very little natural gas to heat my home. The key in reducing energy loss is to reduce the surface area of the house so my home is basically square with big nonheated front and back verandas,” said Wiskel. He planted white spruce near the north wall of the house to quell northwest winds. The rainfall from the eavestroughs and the partial shading from the house resulted in stellar growth. On the south side, he planted deciduous trees that drop their leaves in the fall. That experience led to his third book, Designing and Landscaping the Family Home. Wiskel said his business’s annual revenue increased at a healthy rate when he decided to change the product line, stocking 250 kinds of trees, shrubs and plants that are hardy to cold northern winters. He also changed the company

name to Mr. V’s The Place for Trees. “Since I am on an aquifer, I have access to lots of water for irrigation and I currently have 16,000 trees in my nursery on a drip irrigation system,” he said. Wiskel also offers landscape design and construction, and environmental consulting. Mr. V’s has created show gardens and provides tours to garden clubs. “My small acreage of U-pick vegetables and fruit and the tree nursery has provided enough income that I have been able to purchase a large grain farm. I firmly believe that investing in agriculture land is a sound economic decision,” said Wiskel, who rents out his farmland. His latest book, The Wealthy Farmer, The Complete Guide on Investing in Agriculture Land, stems from that experience. He planted a vineyard, one of a few in Alberta, on a south facing slope surrounded by tall evergreen trees to create a Zone 4 growing area. He prefers to use Siberian larch in shelter belts because they endure hot and dry periods well, but white spruce is the most popular tree that he sells. “It’s important to plan your shelter belt with the dark and tall trees to the back. I intersperse trees that are floral, fragrant or that produce edible fruit, berries, nuts or sap for syrup. I plant lilac bushes in front as this provides fragrance and privacy,” he said. Wiskel also runs a cow-calf operation, and his corrals are made of poplar planks treated with used motor oil. He bale grazes his cows in the winter on a south-facing ridge where the evergreen trees provide protection from the northwest winds. He sells Mr. V. premium horse hay to people in the Fort McMurray region, with hay stored on pallets and under cover. Corvin Uhrbach of Lacombe, Alta., a high school social studies teacher who has operated a small tree nursery, said Wiskel took a traditional operation and turned it into an innovative way of promoting his business. “His out of the box ideas connected landscape design, energy efficiency and bold marketing ideas into a business that has been financially successful by taking the risks that were necessary to be unique. Uhrbach said his books offer food for thought. “Some of his ideas are controversial and may not be mainstream thought, but his reasoning makes one reevaluate an individual’s thinking,” Uhrbach said.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Adam Fullerton always liked making goofy videos while farming, but he never thought they would become a social media hit. Fullerton, the creator of Tractor Fitness from Lacadena, Sask., started making videos during seeding last year after getting the “seeding crazies.” “Everyone gets the same feeling in the tractor eventually, the feeling of ‘you want to get out there and talk to some real people instead of just the GPS or radio the whole day.’ ” After making a few videos and posting them on Facebook, Fullerton had a few friends tell him to make a page, so he thought he’d give it a shot. “I’m at (more than 12,600 likes), which is pretty crazy, I think, for just starting out as a little gag video in the tractor one day pretending to work out with wrenches, trying to keep off that old harvest gut,” said Fullerton. He was also encouraged to launch a clothing line sporting comedic lines like “how’s your bin?” and “sons of agriculture.” His Tractor Fitness clothing business, featured on social media sites, has steadily grown, with Fullerton selling more than 1,000 items in Canada, the United States and Australia in his first year. “I love travelling around and seeing someone with the shirt I made on and it’s like ‘yeah that’s pretty cool, I like that,’ ” said Fullerton. His videos range from workouts to remixes of popular songs with a farming twist. He also makes some memes that have become popular.

“I made one about going to school and that one reached 188,000 people so I thought that one was pretty cool,” said Fullerton. He sponsors a local rodeo clown and has also approached a bull rider. Fullerton never plans his videos. “I can usually whip up a song in a couple hours if we’re driving truck or sitting in the combine singing to myself. If we’re combining canola, for some reason I start thinking about songs about canola,” he said. Daniel Kuhn, a farmer and fan of Tractor Fitness, found out about the page from a friend. He has contributed to the page with his version of Paul Brandt’s My Heart Has a History called My Mack Has a History. “It’s definitely tailored towards the farmers and this time of year. A lot of times what a person needs when they’re out in the fields and stuff is a little bit of humour to brighten up their day because I know things can get pretty stressful out there,” said Kuhn. He also said it’s nice to have a page that farmers can relate to about farming. Fullerton has no plans for expansion in the short term because farming remains his priority. “I’m not going to go out of my way to make a goofy video when there’s work to be done, but if the opportunity is there nine times out of 10, I’ll take it and see if it works out or not.” Fullerton can be contacted at www. facebook.com/TractorFitnessFacebook or @TractorFitness - Instagram and @TractorFitness – Twitter.

CHILDREN’S TOYS | PROS AND CONS

Too many toys may lead to boredom rather than excitement SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

I am feeling overwhelmed. We stopped in at our granddaughter’s house while we were passing through the city and had a short visit with her and her young family. It was a great visit, but the part that threw me was when we toured her new home and saw all of the toys their two small children have. It was wall-to-wall plastic in the playroom, not to mention those throughout the house and hidden in their bedrooms. I am all for children having toys, but this is ridiculous. Is it just me, or is it possible children have too many toys?

It is not just you. Kids today have more toys. When you were younger, you likely did not have many toys. Don’t forget that we had just come off the Second World War and were challenging armies in North Korea. Most of our factories were committed to the war effort. They had little time or energy for the toy business. Since then, the world of plastics has exploded and toys are everywhere and nowhere. In the United States, at least $20.9 billion were spent on toys last year. I suspect that comparable numbers could be found in Canada’s retail industry. The toy industry is huge. That does not make it either right or wrong. It just makes it big. Of course, many toy manufacturers claim that the toys that they make contribute to the overall growth and development of the children playing with them. I am not sure how true that is.

THE AMOUNT SPENT ON GAMES, HOBBIES AND TOYS IN CANADA IN 2013

$3.9 million SOURCE: STATISTICS CANADA As I recall, all of us learned a lot by riding our bikes out in the country and making slingshots from caragana bushes sprouting out by nearby sloughs. Nonetheless, we should give the toy manufacturers their due and look at ways in which those toys flooding the markets might be useful for children. Jean Piaget, a notable Swiss biologist who spent hours observing his own children to help him understand how it is that children learn, said that learning within a child fol-

lows two processes: • Assimilation is the collection of data, picking up information. • Accommodation is what children do does with the information once they have it. The more that children think about it and perhaps puts the information into some kind of a conceptual framework, the more they are accommodating to it. Assimilation and accommodation have to be in some kind of balance. If children assimilates too much information and are not able to accommodate to it, they are likely to become confused and may even fall into uncontrollable anxiety. If children do not have access to enough information, they are likely to become bored and may not even try to accommodate to it. I think children have too many toys in many of our homes today and are struggling with too much information to usefully understand

all that is going on. Assimilation is too high to accommodate. To better deal with this, parents might slow down when they are in the toy store and pick up one or two toys that they too can enjoy while sitting with their children and learning about those new toys together. Some of the new electronic toys are remarkable. They dance and sing and talk and do any number of tricks. Perhaps Mom, Dad and the kids should spend time exploring one or two toys to their maximum learning potential before running out to buy more toys. If they did that, they would not only cut down on the toys cluttering the play room, but all three of them might have fun learning together. It doesn’t get any better than that.

I purchased a house a few months ago. The listing said it was a full concrete basement and I had no reason to believe otherwise. Recently, I found water in my basement and when I removed some of the wall panelling, I discovered that my basement was not full concrete at all, but had been made of concrete blocks. There was lots of patching on them and those patches had been covered up by the wall board. There had also been material placed over the visible foundation on the outside to hide the concrete blocks. Is there anything I can do about this?

Most of us have heard the term buyer beware, or its Latin equivalent, caveat emptor. That means a house buyer is expected to inspect it completely and accept its condition when making the offer to purchase. Many offers that realtors use have the explicit wording, “the buyer, having inspected the premises…” It is understood that the buyer will check out the property as it exists. If there are cracks in the driveway, holes in the carpet or blotches in the paint, these things can be discussed with the seller, and if necessary, repaired prior to the deal going through. In many cases, the potential buyer will use those deficiencies to ask for a lower price from the seller. In real estate law, these types of defects or deficiencies are called patent defects.

That means they are obvious and can be seen upon a reasonable and careful inspection. However, the defects you have described are not patent. You could not reasonably have found that the basement of your house was made of a different material than was represented, and that there was damage to the basement that had been patched, unless you took the panelling off the basement walls. That is not the sort of inspection that you should have to do to find out the building’s condition. If you can establish that the seller knew about a problem but did not tell you about it, there is a latent or hidden defect. Defects that reasonably careful inspection will not reveal are not the kind of problems that buyers should have to accept. If you are able to establish that the previous owner knew about the problem, and deliberately kept that information from you or took some effort to hide it, you may be able to get some compensation if what you bought is worth less than what it looked like. Unfortunately, even if there is good evidence that there were latent defects that the seller knew about, and the buyer has suffered a loss, it will often mean that the buyer will have to take the seller to court to be compensated for this loss. If you do find yourself in such a situation as a buyer, take lots of pictures, document what your contractors say about the cost to fix the problem and try to get written estimates. Discuss the matter with a lawyer and act quickly so you can be sure to come within the limitation periods for starting a court action in your province.

Argo handles back country OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

n a congested market of all-terrain vehicles, the Argo is one of the most unique and versatile designs available to hunters and producers. When it comes to real world off-road capability, this vehicle can handle it all. Ontario Drive & Gear Ltd. built the first Argo in 1967. It is manufactured in New Hamburg, Ont. Increased hunting pressure in the front country of certain areas has steadily forced game into more remote regions. Although side-byside ATVs and quads can access moderately difficult terrain, only the Argo can penetrate really challenging areas. Based on a six or eight all-wheel design, the Argo can traverse almost any terrain in any season. Optional tracks that mount around the wheels provide even greater terrain capacity, including deep sand and snow. The Argo is also amphibious, which allows drivers to easily cross waterdamaged roads, lakes, rivers and swamps using only the turning wheels for propulsion. An outboard motor up to 9.9 horsepower can also be mounted for faster water travel. Amphibious cargo trailers are also available. On land, an Argo can reach speeds of up to 29 to 37 km-h. For long-distance travel, it may be transported in an eight-foot-long pickup truck box. It can also be carried in a standard sized trailer. Modern models use unleaded gasoline for up to eight hours of operation on a single tank. Optional holders for external gas cans may extend the range even further. Seat comfort was a previous problem. The lack of suspension and hard seats made rough terrain uncomfortable to traverse. Fortunately, suspension seats are now available on some models to reduce discomfort. Other options include heaters and roofs to reduce the impact of poor weather. The Argo has optional bilge pumps, brush guards, extra lighting, roll bars, skid plates, winch systems and windshield accessories to protect the machine and passengers. It also offers gun racks and cargo tie-down rings. Hunters can choose the right model to match the weight requirements of the biggest game animal they intend to hunt. A properly configured unit could be used for camping, fishing, hunting and outfitting. Argo offers spraying equipment for some models, which may allow greater insect and weed control in hard to reach places. It also makes fence maintenance, livestock management, and microfarming easier. The weight displacement over a large area means the vehicles do less environmental damage to field and country than other AT Vs. Their weight is distributed to have a lowpressure footprint on ground foliage. Argo has come a long way since the 1960s and has a proven track record around the world.

It’s not as flashy as modern quads or side-by-side ATVs, but it can handle difficult terrain that the other designs can’t. Few things are as impressive as a tracked tank properly equipped to tackle hard tasks. Prices for base models are $15,000 to $22,000, depending on the features selected. It seems to be a pretty good deal for a vehicle that is a deep-country ATV, boat, snow machine and tractor. For more information, visit www. argoatv.com.

RECOGNITION | CONTRIBUTIONS

Canadian Wheat Alliance signs with private partners

Alberta names three members to Agriculture Hall of Fame

Breeding technology | The project will give breeders more genetic material to speed new variety development BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A consortium of publicly funded research institutions has signed a new research agreement with two private sector plant breeding companies. KWS and Syngenta Inc. will work with the Canadian Wheat Alliance to improve a wheat breeding technique known as doubled haploid technology. The collaborative project is a fouryear deal with an estimated price tag of $2.5 million. Monetary and in-kind funding for

the project will come from the two private sector partners and the alliance’s publicly funded research partners, including the University of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan government, the National Research Council and Agriculture Canada. Additional financial support will be provided by the Western Grains Research Foundation. Doubled haploid technology exposes immature grain to treatments that double the genetic material available to plant breeders. Breeders can use the technology to reduce the amount of time required to bring new varieties to market.

Existing methods of developing doubled haploid wheat plants can be costly, inconsistent and time-consuming. The wheat alliance, KWS and Syngenta are looking for ways to produce doubled haploid wheat plants more quickly and more efficiently. They will eventually use the new doubled haploid technology in their wheat breeding programs, which is expected to benefit agricultural productivity in Canada and abroad. “A partnership to shorten the breeding cycle and bring novel varieties quicker to market with international wheat plant and breeding

experts from KWS and Syngenta will allow us to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Canadian Wheat Alliance,” said Faouzi Bekkaoui, executive director of the National Research Council of Canada’s Wheat Improvement Flagship Program. “We strive to improve the yield, production, sustainability and profitability of Canadian wheat for the benefit of our farmers and our economy.” The alliance aims to combine expertise and resources of research institutions with investments and resources from outside organizations, including private industry.

Ag minister Verlyn Olson praised the individuals for their lifetime of devotion to the industry LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Three men who contributed to the dairy, tillage and greenhouse sectors were inducted Oct. 3 into the Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame. The late Curtis Clark of Carstairs, Gordon Hilton of Strathmore and Mohyuddin Mirza of Edmonton were recognized for advancing agriculture in their respective sectors. Clark worked for almost five decades in the dairy industry as a breeder, judge and exhibitor. “He was known for laying the groundwork to develop purebred breeders and superior cattle in Alberta,” said an Alberta Agriculture news release announcing the inductions. Clark and partner Lloyd Pickard, and later Clark’s son, Jim, established and expanded Acme Holsteins, the dairy operation that became recognized across Western Canada. The Curtis Clark Achievement Award is presented annually at Toronto’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair to recognize his efforts to promote the Holstein breed and the dairy industry. The winner is chosen for exemplifying dairy ability, sportsmanship and dedication to the industry. Clark died in 1997 at the age of 86. Hilton is considered a pioneer of conservation tillage in the province. He brought one of the first no-till drills to Western Canada in 1980, when the concepts of low and zero tillage were just becoming better understood. He was the first farmer inducted into the Soil Conservation of Canada Hall of Fame in 1990. He is said to have worked tirelessly to educate other farmers about conservation tillage and encourage them to adopt its tenets. “His legacy will be one where soil degradation and wind erosion have been greatly reduced throughout Alberta and beyond,” said the news release. Mirza, a scientist with extensive studies in hydroponic production, is a founding member of the Alberta Greenhouse Growers Association. He has spent almost 30 years as an educator, researcher and writer in areas surrounding the greenhouse industry and is credited with building that industry to its current stature. Mirza has received many awards during his work with Alberta Agriculture. He is an adjunct professor with the University of Alberta and has encouraged many new entrants to the greenhouse industry. The Alberta Agricultural Hall of Fame inducts up to three people every two years. “We owe a debt of gratitude to these three exceptional individuals who have devoted a lifetime to improving agricultural practices in our province,” Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson said.

CROPS | REGULATIONS

Expiring patents could create opportunity, trade challenges Generic seed | International regulatory approvals must be maintained on off-patent traits produced via biotechnology BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A farmer and former chemical company executive doesn’t expect western Canadian farmers to benefit as patents gradually expire on biotech seeds. “A generic industry is possible in the seed industry … but it’s not going to be easy, in my opinion,” said Maurice Delage, the former president of Aventis Crop Sciences in North America who now oversees farming operations on 22,000 acres near Indian Head, Sask. In the 1990s, farmers began to benefit

from a generic crop protection industry that materialized as patents expired on products such as glyphosate, which increased competition in the sector and reduced producers’ expenses. Delage doesn’t expect the same thing to happen as patents expire on the first crop traits produced by biotechnology. “There’s a general belief in the farm community and by farmers in general that as patents expire … they’re going to see a similar spinoff that happened in the crop production industry,” said Delage. “I think that this is a bit of a misstatement.” The issues of farm-saved seed,

plant breeding and exporting in a “post-patent” environment were raised at the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference in Saskatoon last week. The issue is on the minds of industry officials because the patent on Monsanto’s Roundup Ready 1 soybeans will soon expire in the United States. Other intellectual property rights complicate matters, but the move potentially allows for farmers in that country to save seed and for other companies to use the technology. Monsanto has been selling its Roundup Ready 2 technology for

several years. “The Roundup Ready 1 patent expired almost four years ago in Canada. Nobody has picked it up,” said Delage. He said the future is particularly clear cut for canola. “Nothing is going to change in canola in North America because the market is dominated by hybrids.” A generic seed industry is more likely in an open-pollinated crop such as soybeans, he added. There’s less incentive to save seed in a hybrid crop such as canola because it loses vigour in later generations. Other hurdles include the

high cost of bringing seed to market and maintaining multiple regulatory clearances. As well, crop protection products made in one market can be effective in another, while seeds need to be responsive to localized agronomic and disease issues. “I don’t see the generic patent situation at all the same as the generic crop protection business, where a patent is expiring on a herbicide or insecticide or fungicide and somebody came in as a generic producer and dropped the price by 30 percent and the industry had to compete with the generic price,” he said. “I don’t see that happening, certainly not in the short term, in the case of plant biotechnology. There’s just too much value built into the seed in many other things around plant breeders’ rights and inbred lines and other traits and stacking of traits.” Few seeds carry just one trait. Other quality or performance traits, such as herbicide and disease tolerance and seed treatments, can protect the seed from being reproduced. “Most (biotechnology) events today are in germplasm that cannot be worked with,” said Tom Carrato, a U.S. agricultural biotechnology consultant. Carrato said the issues of post-patent biotechnology could hurt farmers more than it helps. Regulatory approvals for genetically modified seeds must be maintained in countries where they are planted and imported, he added. Export markets could be at risk if old, off-patent technology makes its way into the supply. The threat brings to mind the European Union, which shut its doors to Canadian-grown flaxseed when GM Triffid made its way into exports in 2009. Last week, officials called for stewardship on the part of farmers and seed companies. “That’s the worry, that somebody chooses to go outside of the system and try to create some havoc,” said Delage. “It’s an area where we have to, as farmers, be really concerned how the international access to these markets is maintained because that’s the basis of our business.” In the case of Roundup Ready 1, Monsanto says it will maintain approvals through 2021. Under a private-sector agreement in the U.S., participating organizations will notify the industry of expiring patents three years in advance. The U.S. Ag Accord, a legally binding contract, has 10 signees, including BASF Plant Science, Bayer CropScience, Dow AgroSciences, Dupont Pioneer and Monsanto. “Even though we have patent expiration looming, we do not expect there to be many products coming off patent before 2021,” said Matthew O’Mara of the Biotechnology Industry Organization. With herbicide resistant weeds an increasing concern, another issue is farmers’ need for multiple modes of action. “We really need to be considering from a stewardship standpoint how much sense it makes to create a generic market for an (biotechnology) event that’s been in the market for 20 years as a single event because of the potential to create resistance,” said Carrato.

Ontario sugar beet growers harvest record crop 40 tons per acre | Wet, cool weather favoured sugar beets in Ontario, but other crops may see issues BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

CHATHAM, Ont. — Ontario farmers generally believe that it’s better to be hot and dry than cool and wet, but there is at least one notable exception this year. Sugar beet growers are looking forward to what could prove to be a record yield, thanks to the cool and wet summer. “Right now, guys are pumping out 40 tons per acre. There were some yields even higher than that, and that was a couple weeks ago,” said Glenn Jack, past-chair of the Ontario Sugarbeet Growers Association. “We started the harvest on Aug. 28 because it was such a huge crop coming on. No one anticipated this because of the late spring planting. Now it looks like a record.” Jack is among 100 far mers in southwestern Ontario who together grow 10,000 acres of sugar beets for the Michigan Sugar Company, a cooperative with processing plants in Michigan. The past record for the co-op was just shy of 30 tons per acre. “There are 800,000 tons of beets har vested already and they’re expecting 4.7 million tons in total,” Jack said. Prices are down from previous highs, although Jack said restrictions on Mexican imports into the United States have helped, perhaps by five cents per pound. The Bloomberg financial website reports that world sugar prices have dropped 50 percent from a 30-year high in 2011. Meanwhile, the production outlook for corn, soybeans, apples and processing tomatoes in the province is mixed. The processing tomato harvest was expected to wrap up by last week, and there were hopes for a bumper crop. However, expectations were tempered by bacterial disease pressure, said John Mumford, general manager of Ontario Processing Vegetable Growers. Mumford said most processing tomato growers are expected to meet or come close to meeting their contracted tonnage. “We’re about a week away (from finishing the harvest),” he said last week. “I think, by and large, anything compared to what happened last year is good.” Excessive rainfall in the spring of 2013 reduced yield expectations, and some fields were written off. Mumford said the processing sweet corn harvest has been delayed, as has the harvest of several other crops. Horst Bohner, a field crop specialist with Ontario’s agriculture ministry,

FARMERS GROW SUGAR BEETS IN SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO

said early soybean yields have been promising. At three million acres, it’s the largest crop in the province. “Yields have so far been good to very good,” he said. “I’ve heard as low as 42 bushels per acre and as high as 85 near Chatham. It looks more promising than it did a month ago. There was a little of white mold, but they say white mold is a sign of stronger yields.” It remains to be seen how well later seeded soybeans will fare, but farmers can expect at least average yields. Corn is Ontario’s second largest

crop at close to two million acres. Damage was sustained Sept. 18 when temperatures reached -2 C east of Toronto, Bohner said. The crop has reached or is near physiological maturity in the rest of the province, thanks to warm temperatures and sunny skies through the last half of September and into early October. “There’s no question about it. If you didn’t get hit by frost, the last two weeks have been a blessing,” Bohner said. Apples, another significant fall crop

in Ontario, are off to a slow start. Charles Stevens, chair of the Ontario Apple Growers Association, said growers are delaying their harvest for a week to encourage higher sugar levels. In an unusual twist, apples took on their reddish blush before the sugar content reached its peak. “It takes cool nights to put on the colour. We had that in early September. It’s like throwing me into a snow bank. When I come out, my cheeks are red,” Stevens said. “Now we need the sugar levels to

come up. We want our apples to be marketed.” There’s a similar story for Ontario’s grapes, Stevens said. Growers are leaving their grapes on the vines longer to increase brix levels. He said the province’s apple production capacity has been slowing growing in the past few years after decades of decline. Most growers are moving toward high-density plantations, he added. Initial costs are higher, but production per acre increases and annual production costs decrease.

OILSEED & GRAIN TRADE SUMMIT | WEATHER

Get used to water, says climatologist ‘New normal’ | Analyst expects more wet springs for Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Growers in the eastern Prairies will need to keep their rubber boots handy for the next couple of decades, says an historical climatologist. “We are now in a new normal,” Evelyn Browning-Garriss, author of the Browning Newsletter, told the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. The new normal, which includes wet springs for Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan, is the result of the Pacific Ocean being in a cool phase and the Atlantic Ocean being in a warm phase. Browning-Garriss said they’re going to remain that way for a long, long time. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation, which operates in 50-year cycles, switched to the cool phase in 2006, while the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, which turned hot in 1995, tends to stay in that phase for 40 years and then switch to the cool phase for 30 years. Browning-Garriss said prevailing western winds take cool air from the Pacific across the Prairies in spring, where it meets with hot and wet air

from the Atlantic. The epicentre of that collision is near Manitoba’s Red River Valley, which means at least another 20 years of excessively wet springs for the area. Increased volcanic activity is making matters worse. Significant eruptions have occurred in recent years that send volcanic debris into the atmosphere. The debris traps moisture and forms clouds of microdroplets, which can remain in the atmosphere for a long time. “When they finally do fall out, they fall out in unusually heavy deluges,” said Browning-Garriss. “A volcanic rain is much harsher and much heavier than a regular rainfall.” She said it is what farmers have been experiencing on the Prairies in recent years. “That’s what you’re experiencing, is volcano weather. That’s why it has been so moist.” Browning-Garriss said volcanic activity has been increasing significantly, and it doesn’t appear to be abating, with at least six active volcanoes in Russia. The summer weather outlook in

The eastern part of the Prairies will likely remain wetter for the next 20 years, says an historic climatologist. | FILE PHOTO

the coming decades is for hot and dry conditions. Tropical trade winds tend to blow straight when the Atlantic is hot, which sends summer moisture to Mexico and diverts it from the southern United States, the Great Plains and the Canadian Prairies. It usually results in warm summers, although the volcano weather can mitigate that somewhat. Browning-Garriss said growers across North America can expect drought in key growing regions once every five years or so. Conditions will be reminiscent of the 1950s. “You took rainfall for granted. Not so now,” she said. “The good news is people can

adjust to it. We had these conditions in the 1950s, and North America fed the world. But you cannot take water for granted.” The hot Atlantic will tend to provide wetter conditions to the eastern half of South America, including key corn and soybean growing areas. The one big wild card is the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). In May, it appeared that a strong El Nino was developing, but it faded and the ENSO is now in a neutral phase. That is because a warm phase of the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) moved over the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean. The MJO operates in four to six week cycles. “It went through that hot El Nino,

scrambled it up and cooled it,” said Browning-Garriss. However, the cool phase of the MJO is being followed by back-to-back warm phases, which are expected to reinvigorate the El Nino and create El Nino conditions this winter. It should bring relief to the California drought and lead to a warm and dry winter for the Canadian Prairies as well as stronger chinooks. The effects could last until spring if the El Nino is strong enough, which would help reduce the amount of rainfall that hits the eastern Prairies. However, it will provide only a temporary one-year relief, and then growers will be back in the wet pattern for decades.

SUSTAINABILITY | TRANSPARENCY

Amidst outside pressure, food manufacturer gets serious about sustainability BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Providing sustainably sourced food to consumers is a difficult and costly proposition, says one of the world’s largest snack food companies. “It is a challenge, to say the least,” said Dave Brown, vice-president of global commodities for Mondelez International, which was formerly Kraft Foods Inc. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have placed the company under the microscope for how it sources its cocoa and coffee. Mondelez is the world’s largest manufacturer of biscuits, chocolate,

candy and powdered beverages and the second largest supplier of gum and coffee. Brown said consumers are increasingly interested in where those commodities are sourced and whether the farmers who produce them are adequately compensated. “People are beginning to look all the way back to the beginning of the supply chain,” he told the Oilseed and Grain Trade Summit. It’s why Mondelez is investing $400 million over the next 10 years to assist its cocoa farmers, who are largely based in West Africa. “We’re trying to help them with yields,” he said. “We’re trying to help women-

owned plantations. We’re trying to make sure that child labour is not a problem. The company, which had revenues of $35 billion last year, is spending another $200 million to sustainably source all of its coffee by the end of next year. Its efforts do not end with small commodities. Mondelez is heavily involved with the Rainforest Alliance in an effort to obtain more sustainably sourced palm oil. It has a program in the European Union to ensure that the wheat it uses in its biscuits will be 60 percent sustainably sourced by 2016. It also has initiatives in the sugar and dairy industries.

Brown said NGOs are breathing down the necks of large food companies to ensure their sustainability efforts are genuine. “I’m really amazed at the power and influence that they have,” he said. “There are some that will take you at your word a little bit more and are willing to work with you, and there are some that threaten to tell all the bad things that your company is doing on Facebook by 5 p.m. on Friday if you don’t change, and we’ve had that happen before.” Brown said it is a monumental task to implement some of the sustainability initiatives. Mondelez sources coffee from

more than one million small farmers located in the tropics. It is hard to measure the plight of those farmers spread throughout the world. The company pays a premium for wheat and coffee produced in a sustainable manner. In return, it receives a valuable marketing tool. Climate change is another motivation for sustainability initiatives. It has food companies extremely nervous and eager to assure future supplies of the commodities they use. “If you look at the price of coffee over the last year, it doubled,” said Brown. “I know we all deal in volatile commodities, but I mean, that’s craziness and that was all weather related.”

CHEESE MAKING | GOUDA

Chef makes gouda special of the day Glasgow Glen Farms produces 16 flavours of cheese BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

NEW GLASGOW, P.E.I. — When Jeff McCourt wanted to buy a popular gouda cheese business in his home province of Prince Edward Island, he needed financing. He decided to sell cheese futures. Now those who bought those futures at $1,000 each receive their returns in cheese — six kilograms of artisanal gouda delivered twice a year for five years. “It’s been a great community thing,” McCourt said during an Oct. 3 Canadian Farm Writers Federation tour of his facility. He initially sold about 70 cheese futures, and more are available for sale. He ships to almost every province as well as Nunavut and Northwest Territories. However, many of those who helped finance his purchase of the former Cheese Lady’s Gouda operation live on the same road as the cheese plant, which McCourt re-launched Aug. 18 as Glasgow Glen Farm. “This was her baby,” McCourt said of the well known “cheese lady,” Martina ter Beek, from whom he bought

the business. He continues to use her recipes and has added some of his own. McCourt, a chef for 27 years, had used ter Beek’s cheeses in his work, and when he heard she was considering retirement, he approached her about buying the business. Though he knew the basics of cheese making, he worked with ter Beek to learn her techniques. Glasgow Glen sits on 14 acres that are now the site of a new building in which visitors can see cheese being made, stored, aged and sold. A kitchen that bakes and sells fresh bread and pizza draws customers on a daily basis. Milk for the cheese comes from an award-winning dairy farm up the road from Glasgow Glen, operated by Abe and Elaine Butterman. “It’s all about the cows,” he said of

Stephanie Lutz, the baker at Glasgow Glen Farms, tallies up a gouda cheese purchase for a customer at the Prince Edward Island cheese operation. | BARB GLEN PHOTO cheese quality, noting the expertise of the Buttermans and their attention to cow comfort and production in their 30-head dairy. “That makes me happy, as a cheese maker.” The farm produces 16 flavours of gouda, and McCourt makes cheese two days per week. Starting with milk in a 1,500-litre vat, he and assistant cheese maker Donald Younie produce about 400 pounds of gouda.

Milk is pasteurized on site, and culture is added once the milk has cooled. Each cheese requires a different culture. Rennet is added next and the curd is cut to a certain size that McCourt said is a trade secret. After that, half the whey is drained, the curd is washed, flavour is added and the rest of the liquid is drained. The cheese is pressed into wheels and put into brine for about three days. Once brined, the cheese goes to the

aging room, where it is closely monitored, turned and wiped each day. “You get to know your cheese very well. You touch it every day.” It was important to him when building the facility to allow public viewing of the process, though it is seen from behind glass for safety reasons. “We want people to see it, and I think people want to know where their food comes from, too,” he said.

The company has become one of the largest producers of North American mussels since Dockendorff ’s father, Russell, helped create the industry. P.E.I. ships 55 million mussels a year, and Mussel King produces onequarter of the production, with a focus on value-added processing after the mussels are harvested. This year, the plant expects to process 95,000 to 100,000 pounds of fresh mussels a week. It recently installed equipment that injects flavoured sauce into cooked packages of mussels, including white wine and herb, chipotle, garlic butter, marinara and red curry sauces. “You have to know your culture,” said Dockendorff. “There is no use going to China with chipotle.” China has become one of Mussel King’s biggest markets with Dockendorff creating markets in a country that’s not always open to negotiating with women. “People said I would never do it. Business is about believing in your product and being honest,” she said during a tour of the Mussel King facilities. P.E.I. produces 80 percent of Canada’s cultured mussel production.

the rope when they reach the size of a fingernail and placed in long socks of loosely woven mesh. About 50 socks are attached to a line and placed back in the ocean for 12 to 18 months, where they grow until ready for harvest. Mussel farmers lease their part of the ocean from the federal government, but can re-lease it to other producers. The harvested mussels are cleaned, graded and packaged in the company’s plant beside the wharf and then shipped. “Every year the market grows,” said Eugene Bernard, the raw end supervisor with Mussel King. Most of the mussels in restaurants have already been cooked and flavour enhanced in the plant. The restaurant heats them in the microwave before they are served.

ISLAND FARMING | IRRIGATION WATER

P.E.I. producers want water well moratorium lifted BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

CHARLOT TETOWN, P.E.I. — Farmers are challenging a moratorium on high-capacity wells for agricultural use in Prince Edward Island. The province applied the moratorium in 2002 when a dry year brought a drastic increase in water well applications. Twelve years later, farmers still cannot drill additional wells that could be used to irrigate crops when the typical 1,100 millimetres of annual rainfall doesn’t materialize. A dry year in 2011 and water restrictions applied to Charlottetown last year, when supplies ran short and the city dug additional wells, have shone a brighter spotlight on the issue. However, farmers say additional high-capacity wells, which draw more than 400 gallons per minute, could reduce their risk and help the potato industry in particular remain sustainable. Jason Webster, who operates Middleton Farms Ltd. with his father and is co-owner of the Mid-Isle Farms potato storage and sorting facility, is among those lobbying for the moratorium’s end. His farm lost potato production and quality in 2011 when drought struck during the growing season. “Our crops were cut pretty near 50 percent that year,” he said in an interview after an Oct. 4 presentation to the Canadian Farm Writers Federation conference. “The people that had irrigation that year, it made a big difference. A huge difference. Those that didn’t took a big hit.” McCain’s and Cavendish Farms, P.E.I.’s two potato processors, had to bring potatoes from other provinces to operate their plants, said Webster. “We believe that irrigation is going to be a vital tool to keeping our industry sustainable,” he said during a panel presentation. “Does it need to be on all acres? Absolutely not. Will it ever be on all acres? Absolutely not.” The provincial government has pledged to develop a water act to deal with the issue of high capacity wells for agricultural irrigation. George Somers, manager of drinking water and waste-water management for the province, said the goal is to develop a comprehensive water policy that will “get away from this patchwork” of regulations. Although research on the island’s groundwater is sound, he added, more information is needed on the potential impact of water well pumping on stream flow. “We cannot get an answer yet, and this is a worldwide thing, as to how much water we leave in the stream to protect aquatic organisms,” said Somers. The effect of additional wells on

small streams is also a concern. Steven MacKinnon, a farmer and member of the Coalition for the Protection of P.E.I. Water, agreed on the need for caution but criticized delays in water act development and implementation. “The government has done a real poor job since the moratorium was put on in 2002. Moratoriums are only in place to hold things where they’re at until something’s been dealt with,” he said. “They had 12 years to do some really good scientific data … and basically it appears that they haven’t done a whole lot, and if they have, they did a poor job of taking it to the general public.”

Webster said 6,600 acres are irrigated now, mostly using the 36 wells established before the moratorium. He estimated up to 30,000 acres could be irrigated if the ban was lifted, though it would evolve over 10 to 15 years. “It’s not something that’s going to happen overnight, and that’s what we’ve been trying to say, too,” he said. Irrigation will not be needed in some years, Webster added. Producers who farm on existing irrigated land apply an average of 2.5 inches over the growing season, but they applied about five inches in 2012 and 3.5 inches last year. “That’s been our struggle, to try and

get into the public’s view, is that we’re not looking for big amounts of water,” he said. “We’re actually looking for very little.” Somers said studies show no evidence of declining groundwater levels or changes in stream flow from current activities. The province uses only seven percent of the water available for extraction, according to provincial data, and groundwater is replenished every year. Water not extracted from streams flows directly into the ocean. Cavendish Farms, the province’s biggest potato processor, has said it may be forced to downsize its operations if the government doesn’t lift

the moratorium. That concerns Webster, who recalls how the 2011 drought affected production and quality. The ability to irrigate could eliminate a repeat of that situation. “We’re in a real good position to be extra competitive because we don’t need to irrigate all the time,” he said. “We don’t need to hurt our water supply. We have it naturally. But one dry week can just cause a major, major problem.” Webster said he and other growers agree water use must be monitored and urban supply protected, along with the health of groundwater and stream flow.

Designed to scare people | Weeds adapt and change but are not a product of genetic modification BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Weeds have always been super, but that doesn’t mean they’re super weeds, said a policy analyst with the Weed Science Society of America. Concerned about the growing use of the term “super weed” in urban media and online, Lee van Wychen said his organization is trying to debunk the super weed myths. Weeds have always had the ability to adapt and change to their environment, but they’re not a product of rampant gene transfer from genetically modified crops, nor do they

have the ability to muscle out competing plants, said van Wychen, the society’s director of science policy. Weed resistance to herbicides is not new; it has been reported for more than 50 years. The main cause

of herbicide resistance is the overusing the same class of herbicide. Super weeds is a term designed to scare people, said van Wychen. “I wish it would scare farmers into adopting best management practices and rotate their herbicides.”. Agriculture Canada weed scientist Bob Blackshaw said super weeds isn’t a term he hears from farmers. Farmers often have questions about how timing and rate of application affect herbicide resistance. Those are generally small factors compared to repetitive use of the same herbicide class, he said. Overuse of antibiotics, antimicro-

bial, insecticide, fungicide or herbicides can all lead to a reduction of efficacy, he said. The second fallacy is that super weeds have a super ability to muscle out competing plants. Blackshaw said herbicide resistant weeds have no greater ability to muscle out weeds and plants. Their only advantage is being able to survive herbicide treatment. Van Wychen said any weeds, whether they are resistant to herbicides or not, can outcompete other plants for water, nutrients, sunlight and space and need to be controlled with a variety of weed management practices.

Officials happy with Alberta sugar beet yields Fewer acres seeded than in 2013 season

IT HAS ALL THE POTENTIAL IN THE WORLD,

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Har vest of southern Alberta’s 22,000 acres of sugar beets began Oct. 1 under good digging conditions and good yields. “The beets look incredibly good,” said Gerald Third, executive director of Alberta Sugar Beet Growers. He said better than average yields of 28 to 30 tonnes per acre were reported in the initial days of harvest. One-third of the crop had been dug and delivered to piling stations or the Lantic Sugar plant in Taber, Alta., late last week, and the plant was scheduled to begin processing Oct. 9. Lantic Sugar agricultural superintendent Andrew Llewellyn-Jones said yields will be “right in the ball park” of last year’s average, and sugar content will likely top last year’s average of 18.6 percent. “The sugar content is already higher than end of year last year,” he said. “It’s at 18.7 now and it ended at 18.6 last year, so (the average) should be close to 19 by the time we’re done. Any time you’re above 18.5 to 19, it’s always a good quality crop.” Llewelyn-Jones said 80 percent of the beets would be harvested by Oct. 17 if the weather holds. Growers are mostly finished harvesting their other crops so they can concentrate on beet delivery. Third said he is pleased with the look of the crop. “The only disappointing thing was the reduction in acres,” he said. In April, Lantic reduced the number of beet acres it contracted to 22,000 from 24,000 last year and 30,000 in 2012. It came as an unwelcome surprise to growers, who will enter negotiations with Lantic in November. Contracted acres will be the prime topic, said Third.

Manitoba flood study to explore Assiniboine dam Assiniboine River | Engineering firm hired to conduct a study, which will evaluate options and benefits of building a second reservoir BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It’s been considered before and is being looked at now: a dam on the Assiniboine River downstream of the Shellmouth Reservoir. The Manitoba government is evaluating the cost-benefits of a second reservoir on the Assiniboine River as part of a flood mitigation study evaluating all options to prevent damage from future flood events in the Assiniboine and Lake Manitoba watersheds. The government contracted KGS Group, an engineering firm, to conduct the study following the Assiniboine River flood of 2011. A provincial spokesperson confirmed a dam on the Assiniboine, downstream of the Shellmouth Reservoir, is part of the conversation. “Options are being reviewed as part of the Assiniboine River-Lake Manitoba flood mitigation study that is just wrapping up,” the spokesperson said. “A few of the options reviewed were dams along the Assiniboine River at Holland and at Alexander.” Since 2011, farmers, policy makers and the media have focused on Lake Manitoba and the need to dig an outlet channel between the lake and Lake St. Martin to drain the lake when necessary. The cost of such a project has been estimated at $250 million and higher. Alf Warkentin, a long-time Manitoba flood forecaster who is now retired, said every alternative should be on the table, including dams on the Assiniboine. “The Assiniboine already has a

pretty deep valley, between Brandon and Portage, and the Holland area is a good spot for it,” said Warkentin, who is a sub-contractor for the KGS study, working on computer modeling of flood events. “I think all the options have to be looked at carefully. And the benefitcost ratios have to be looked at. You have to put your money where you’re going to get the biggest bang for it.” The idea of a second reservoir on the Assiniboine downstream of Shellmouth was considered decades ago in Manitoba. Eric Blais, a hydrologist with 30 years experience, said those discussions were focused on water supply. “Possibly you could build a dam in Holland, which has always been looked at in terms of a water supply reservoir,” he said. “It would offer benefits for people looking for water to irrigate. You could take water from the reservoir, put it down the Boyne (River) and allow more people to irrigate there…. If you’re looking at true economic benefit, yeah, it’s better than a ditch.” However, the reservoir wouldn’t prevent flooding during extreme events. “The size of reservoir you could build in Holland, even though it’s a large reservoir, would have almost zero impact on a 2011 magnitude

flood,” Blais said. “If you raise the 33rd largest lake in the world by some three and a half feet, you would have to have a huge reservoir (to mitigate that flood)…. The peak would have gone through almost the same.” Blais said investments in flood mitigation are based on the damage prevented by a structure or strategy. “If we’re looking at that aspect, this reservoir just doesn’t cut it for large flood events.” Another water expert, with years of experience on the Prairies but who declined to be identified, agreed a dam near Holland is feasible, but it could destroy a substantial chunk of land in the Assiniboine River Valley north of Holland. Warkentin said any decision and subsequent investment in flood mitigation must be fair and shouldn’t favour one group or region over another. Still, there are other considerations besides flood control. “Lately we haven’t been talking much about water supply, but this climate can change again and we could be back into droughts.” The provincial spokesperson said the government has scheduled open houses in November so that the public can comment on flood mitigation alternatives.

Manitoba farmers call for flood solution Comprehensive effort | Farmers not convinced wider flow channel on Lake Manitoba will be answer

Traceability service gets boost from feds BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE — Craig Finnie had 600 acres of nice-looking canola growing this June, but he chose the wrong place to grow it. The late June rainstor m that soaked a wide swath of eastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba caused the Assiniboine River to swell, which prompted the Manitoba government to open the Portage Diversion and then deliberately break the diversion banks to take pressure off the system. A sheet of water covered Finnie’s crop, which lies beside the diversion. “It was all brown and dead after five or six days,” said Finnie, who estimated his losses at $250,000. That’s part of living and farming beside the Portage Diversion, but it’s also the reality of farming east of Portage La Prairie, along the shores of Lake Manitoba and on the western Assiniboine. Farmers on all parts of the Assiniboine River drainage system have been suffering heavy losses from the floods of 2011 and 2014. They hope to see governments find a way to help the once friendly river return to its peaceful ways. Farmers are digesting the possible impact of the Manitoba govern-

ment’s plans to build a bigger outflow channel at the north end of Lake Manitoba’s south basin, but some worry the plans are neither big nor comprehensive enough. Lorne Henry farms at the Hoop and Holler bend, which the government floods to take pressure off the Assiniboine River in flood years. He said Lake Manitoba needs a bigger outlet than the Fairford dam, but a bigger outlet that takes too little water out of an already bloated lake won’t avoid recent problems. “We’ve got to be able to lower that lake,” said Henry, who worked with government officials, engineers and other stakeholders last winter to try to find long-term solutions. “It’s got to be a comprehensive effort,” he said. “To keep it at (5,000 to 7,500 cubic feet per second) sets us

up for trouble already.” The proposed outflow channels would remove less than 8,000 cubic feet per second, but the Portage Diversion can add up to 35,000 cubic feet per second into Lake Manitoba when it’s fully opened. Finnie said mass inundation will occur in any future flood if Lake Manitoba isn’t dropped to 809 to 810 feet above sea level before the spring surge instead of the 812 feet it has been allowed to reach in recent years. “It won’t do anything in a real flood,” said Henry. As well, he said the bigger channel might not achieve much for farmers without a comprehensive solution that includes preventing upstream drainage, improving winter and spring monitoring and widening the Assiniboine east of Portage La Prairie so that it can carry more water. Henry said talk of “one in 200 year” floods gives a false sense of security because the frequency of massive flooding has greatly increased in the last 20 years. Those sorts of floods are likely to come every few years now rather than once in two centuries.

“The world has changed,” he said. It means the Portage Diversion is likely to be used regularly and that both it and the Lake Manitoba outflow channel need to be designed for heavier use than many have previously expected. Finnie, like many farmers throughout the Assiniboine River system, accepts the necessity for the province to shunt water from the Assiniboine to Lake Manitoba to protect homeowners near Winnipeg. However, he thinks farmers along the diversion and around Lake Manitoba should receive fair compensation when they suffer the consequences. As well, the system should be designed to prevent the problems occurring in the first place. “If they want to flow water into Lake Manitoba, they’ve got to be able to pass it through,” Henry said. The newly formed Assiniboine River Commission is holding a conference in Regina Nov. 12-14 to begin work on watershed-wide planning to avoid flooding problems such as what has occurred in the Portage La Prairie and Lake Manitoba areas.

The proposed outflow channels would remove less than 8,000 cubic feet per second. The Portage Diversion can add up to 35,000 cubic feet per second.

A single national database that houses livestock and poultry information has received a $7.5 million injection from the Canadian government. Canadian Agri-Traceability Services was created in 2012 to combine the animal identification information of the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency and Agri-Tracabilite Quebec to reduce costs and make data reporting simpler. Its system, Trace Canada, is mainly intended to provide trace-back information during a food safety situation, animal disease outbreak or natural disaster when livestock must be quickly located. “Consumers place a higher value on products that can be traced throughout their lives. A sound, responsive system will give Canadian producers an economic edge in the marketplace,” said federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz at an Oct. 9 news conference in Calgary. The announcement came during the animal traceability advisory committee’s semi-annual meeting, which was held in Calgary Oct. 8-9. The committee represents industry and government.

WETLANDS | AD CAMPAIGN

Farmers spar with Ducks Unlimited over drainage campaign Flood management | Ducks Unlimited targets agricultural drainage as a contributing factor to farmland flooding this summer BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Judging by reaction to a recent radio ad, Saskatchewan farmers are sick of being scapegoats. A Ducks Unlimited radio ad broadcast across eastern Saskatchewan recently ignited dozens of angry comments on Twitter in early October. The ad suggested that agricultural drainage contributed to the flooding of three million acres of farmland and the evacuation of the hospital in Melville, Sask., this summer. Wade McNeil, an agrologist and farmer from Yorkton, Sask., tweeted: “Hey Ducks Unlimited, you know what hurts more than drainage, going hungry! Don’t bite the hands that feed you!” Other farmers tweeted they will not allow Ducks Unlimited supporters to hunt on their land and a few said they are boycotting Ducks Unlimited fundraising dinners. The radio spots open with comments from actors saying drainage doesn’t hurt anyone. The ad goes on to say that “drainage hurts. Wetland drainage contributes to flooding, and Ducks Unlimited Canada needs you.” An early summer deluge dumped 150 to 200 millimetres of rain on eastern Saskatchewan and western

Manitoba in late June. The rain inundated fields, overloaded creeks in the region and caused flooding on the Assiniboine River downstream in Manitoba. Some politicians, conservation groups and farmers said in the aftermath of the flood, which cost Manitoba an estimated $200 million in flood protection measures and damages, that unauthorized and rampant farmland drainage in eastern Saskatchewan was responsible. McNeil said the accusatory tone of the ad is maddening, but it’s particularly frustrating because the source is Ducks Unlimited.

“They’re a reputable company. When they’re speaking out and pointing the finger at the farmer, the general public will say, ‘oh, the farmers are causing a lot of these problems,’ ” he said. “It’s the record rainfall events that are causing these (flooding) problems.” Ken Sarauer, who farms near Annaheim, Sask., said the amount of rain during the growing season has changed dramatically in recent years, so it’s ridiculous to blame drainage for flooding. “(Before), if we got six inches (150 mm) of rain in a year, it was a drought.

If it was eight to 10 (inches, 200 to 250 mm), it was average,” he said. “ Lately, we’ve been getting 20 inches (500 mm) per year.” Michael Champion, head of industry and government relations for Ducks Unlimited in Saskatchewan, agreed the heavy rain in late June caused the flooding. “We’ve been clear on that. The rain is what caused the flooding,” he said. “(But) the science and research that we’ve seen has shown that wetland drainage is additive to flooding events…. In moderate to normal flood events, drainage is able to push that up to be a little more severe.”

Champion said research by John Pomeroy, a water resources expert from the University of Saskatchewan, has shown that agricultural drainage increases the severity of flood events. “Drainage is one component on the landscape that we can control,” Champion said. He said it’s no secret that DU supports wetland conservation, so the hostility to the radio ads is somewhat odd. Still, the organization’s communication staff reached out to the outspoken farmer, to understand the source of their frustration. “We’re pro-agriculture,” Champion said.

FLOODS | CAUSES

Engineer blames rain for flood BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A Manitoba hydrologist with 30 years of experience says extreme precipitation, rather than drainage, caused this year’s flooding on the Assiniboine River. Eric Blais, who works for an engineering consulting firm in Winnipeg, said the debate over drainage in Saskatchewan and whether it causes flooding misses the point. Flooding will occur if 150 millimetres of rain falls over a wide geographic area on soil that is already soaked, he added. “If you’re in a very wet climatic period and all the storages (on the land) get used up, all bets are off,” Blais said. He said there’s no doubt farmland drainage changes the hydrologic regime and reduces the amount of water stored on the land. “(But) when you’re talking about these really, really extreme hydrologic events, I don’t think you can point the finger solely at the producer.” John Pomeroy, a University of Saskatchewan water expert, released a report this summer on the Smith Creek in eastern Saskatchewan and how the loss of wetlands increases flows in the creek. Blais said wetlands are a factor, but flooding occurred on the Prairies before the arrival of the backhoe and drainage plow. “One of the largest floods on the Assiniboine was in 1888,” he said. “Same, the biggest flood on the Red (River) was in 1826, before there was any drainage.”

PARASITES | HUMAN SICKNESS

New food, new places lead to new parasites Difficult to diagnose | Parasites survive a long time in food and the environment and can cause severe sickness and death BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO — Canadians do not usually get parasites.

However, the risk of picking them up and getting a mild to severe illness increases as people travel more and eat different foods. “In Canada we are fairly fortunate,

HOW DO YOU GET TOXOPLASMA? The U.S. Centre for Disease Control says toxoplasma infection occurs by: • drinking water contaminated with toxoplasma gondii • eating undercooked, contaminated meat, especially pork, lamb, and venison • accidental ingestion after handling contaminated meat and not washing hands thoroughly • using knives, utensils and cutting boards that have had contact with raw, contaminated meat • mother-to-child (congenital) transmission • accidentally swallowing the parasite through contact with cat feces that contain toxoplasma

This might happen by: • cleaning a cat’s litter box when the cat has shed toxoplasma in its feces • touching or ingesting anything that has come into contact with cat feces that contain toxoplasma • accidentally ingesting contaminated soil, such as by not washing hands after gardening or eating unwashed fruits or vegetables Further information is available at www.cdc.gov/parasites/toxoplasmosis/ gen_info/pregnant.html.

they are not known to occur here,” said Alvin Gajadhar, a parasitologist at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. “If they do occur there, they are sporadic or very limited.” Parasites are different from bacteria and viruses because only a few of these tiny organisms can cause problems, he told a Canadian Meat Council food safety symposium held in Toronto Oct. 2-3. Two of these, toxoplasma and trichinella, are among the World Health Organization’s Top 10 serious parasites capable of harming people. The United States reports that toxoplasmosis is the leading cause of death attributed to food-borne illness and estimated that as many as 60 million people are carrying it. Few exhibit symptoms because their immune systems keep it in check. Parasites are hard to diagnose, and conventional disinfections are often ineffective. As a result, they need to be controlled by other means in the

food production chain. They tend to survive a long time in food and the environment. As well, there is no good prevalence information in this country. “The tests often lack sensitivity and specificity and there is a lack of surveillance data,” Gajadhar said. Toxoplasma gondii is shed by cats and can be picked up by rodents, wildlife, birds or earthworms. It can also affect cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens. “Once it is in the environment, it is very difficult to clean up,” he said. Cats can shed millions of oocysts in a matter of days. However, the shedding only happens for a brief period of time. It can survive in the sewers when cat litter is flushed down the toilet. “These oocysts stick around for a long, long time, especially in a moist environment,” he said. It can survive in a wide range of cold to warm temperatures, but research has shown an iodine based disinfectant is effective. Children can pick it up playing in a

sandbox where a cat defecated, and it can be particularly dangerous for pregnant women. Infection in pregnant women can result in abortion or stillbirth or the child may develop encephalomyelitis, hydrocephalus or vision problems. It has also been recognized as a leading cause of schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies. Trichinella, the other serious infection, has been known for more than 150 years and was often picked up when eating undercooked pork. Testing meat started soon after. No cases have been found in Canada for decades, but its risk should not be ignored. “Just because we don’t have any trichinella cases in Canada does not mean it is not a risk,” Gajadhar said. Pigs, bears, foxes, dogs, wild boars and rats can have forms of trichinella. Pigs are infected with the tiny nematode T. spirallis. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE »

Experts eager to find sources of pathogens

Trends in food-borne illness for 2011 compared to the 1998-2000 base line period show:

Food, animals and water | National surveillance programs collect data on illnesses and test food in grocery stores BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO — Nasty food poisoning bacteria such as salmonella and E. coli are under surveillance. “Food- and water-borne illness are complex and there are lots of ways you can get them, and they require multiple surveillance approaches,” said Lisa Landry, director of enteric surveillance at the Public Health Agency of Canada. “We are trying to understand what really causes illness.” The good news is bacteria like E. coli 0157:H7, salmonella and campylobacter are on the decline, but when they strike, the resulting illness can be serious, she told a Canadian Meat Council symposium on food-borne illness held in Toronto Oct. 2-3. FoodNet Canada, the national surveillance program, works with public health agencies across the country looking for sources of infection in food, animals and water. Data is collected from sentinel sites in Ontario (Region of Waterloo Public Health), British Columbia (Fraser Health Authority) and Alberta (Calgary and central Alberta). This information can help identify trends in certain pathogens and the

resulting sickness in people. Information is gathered from weekly samples of raw meat and produce at grocery stores. Manure samples are collected from 30 farms raising beef, hogs, poultry or dairy cattle, and farm questionnaires are distributed to measure management practices and potential risk to workers. Surface water samples are also collected at the sentinel sites. Another agency, the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Use and Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS), measures antibiotic use across the country and potential

cases of resistance in people and livestock. The program looks for E. coli, campylobacter and salmonella, while FoodNet looks at anything associated with enteric (intestinal) disease. Campylobacter and salmonella are among the Top 5 culprits when it comes to disease, but surveillance indicates these and other pathogens are on the decline, said Landry. Recalls for possible E. coli 0157:H7 contamination are well publicized, but the bacteria have been decreasing in Canada since 2010. “We really do have a success story in

the process,” she said. “E. coli seems to have flat lined and has decreased very steadily for the last couple years.” Surveillance teams check raw and processed chicken for salmonella and campylobacter. Salmonella counts were down last year but for some unknown reason has increased this year. Campylobacter has not shown up in processed, frozen chicken but is showing up on raw chicken parts. “Campylobacter has kind of remained consistent in humans for a long time. It goes up and down over the years,” she said.

• no significant change in the rate of salmonella infection • 35 percent decrease in the rate of campylobacteriosis • 68 percent decrease in the number of O157 verotoxigenic E. coli infections • 27 percent decrease in the rate of shigellosis • Other major pathogens commonly transmitted through food, such as norovirus, clostridium perfringens or toxoplasma gondii, are not tracked because they cause mild symptoms of short duration and because of current limitations in laboratory capacity and techniques.

“Humans are highly susceptible to disease from trichinella infection,” he said. It is a prolific producer of new-born larvae, which enter the bloodstream and then travel to the muscle cells for two to five years before they die. The symptoms include muscle aches, inflammation, fever, diarrhea and food poisoning. “Most physicians will not know this,” he said. People may not recognize it because they think it is not in Canada. Control measures for hog production include control of garbage feeding ,which is illegal in Canada, rodent control, controlled animal housing, good husbandry practices and producer education. Meat packing plants can test for it and show it is not present. At the same time, testing may catch other parasites. “Documenting that you don’t have it is important,” Gajadhar said. It also important for slaughter plants to identify all animals and know where they came from. Consumer education continues to be important. Proper cooking can kill it, and in some cases freezing meat works well.

On the straight and narrow In the era of GPS, there are still farmers who strive to plow a straight, uniform furrow without the help of technology. The Manitoba Provincial Plowing Championships were held Sept. 27-28 at the McIntosh familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mid-Man Farms Ltd. north of Carberry. Horse walking, sulky, vintage and conventional classes took place. | Sandy Black photos

TOP, CLOCKWISE: Dan Fontaine of La Broqueire and his Haflinger team of Copper and Sid pull their Oliver sulky plow. The horses are considerably smaller than most teams at slightly more than 13 hands high, but weigh in at 1,200 pounds each. Art Gibson of Neepawa, Man., gives a suggestion to Bruce Gilmore before he squares off his final furrow. June and Peeco, a Belgian team owned by Bruce Gilmore of Kelwood, Man., nuzzle up after finishing their furrows. Nick Boundy of Cartwright, Man., sets the coulter on his Kverneland plow before competing in the conventional tractor class.

Open Letter to Farmers October 16, 2014

Dear Farmers, By now most of you will be familiar with the business opportunity that FNA is spearheading on behalf of all farmers across Canada to build a grain handling and fertilizer distribution company which we have named “Genesis Grain & Fertilizer.” That is why we have been trying to reach as many farmers as possible during a very busy harvest season. The timing for this business opportunity is critical. Not only will it prevent the damages farmers are experiencing from grain company price disparities, but it also seizes on other important opportunities that have arisen. As reported in the October 2 issue of The Western Producer, significant grain handling assets will be available in the near term. If farmers want the opportunity to own these assets, rather than seeing the government transfer that value to a corporation whose job it is to extract even more money from farmers, we need to show our committment. A block of assets like this does not come up for sale in the grain business, and we see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to accelerate the growth of a farmer-owned agribusiness by acquiring elevators, port positions and railcars upon which to build. Our vision is for our new farmer-owned entity to own these assets. In addition, it has been confirmed publicly that the government does not expect to receive any money from the sale. That means any money used to purchase the assets will remain in the business. Growers in countries such as the United States and Australia have had great success in building farmer-owned grain companies, and enjoy all the benefits, financial and otherwise, from their initiatives to bring farmer capital together and make it work on behalf of the entire community.

Hundreds are stepping forward. Will you? There’s an old folk tale about a little red hen. Its moral speaks to the spoils of hard work going to those who were willing to contribute. We are thankful for the hundreds of farmers who have stepped forward and shown their support with over $45 million in non-binding commitments. This is a clear indication of farmers’ enthusiasm and how quickly they are willing to engage when they see an opportunity. However, more is needed if we are going to get this done. It is our job as a business alliance of farmers to bring this opportunity to you*, and we urge you to take a serious look at it if you have not already. We realize that presenting you with this proposal during the busiest time of the year is not ideal, but the timing has not been our choice. This is the beginning of an exciting turning point in Canada’s grain sector, as we establish a farmer-owned entity that will enter the business of grain handling and benefit from what has to this point only been considered an expense at farm gate: the often lucrative margins of grain handling companies. We believe farmer-investors in Genesis will look back on this as an important development in their business model which will see them capture upstream and downstream benefits that are a direct extension of their on-farm production. I am sure we’ve all had those moments when we looked back on things and kicked ourselves for not taking a closer look. Hindsight, as they say, is 20-20. Foresight, while not as clear, can be much more valuable. Our goal for Genesis Grain & Fertilizer is to build a new agribusiness that farmers can be proud of — one that keeps the profit in farmers’ pockets.

Sincerely,

James Mann President & CEO Farmers of North America

FARM QUESTIONNAIRE | PLANS AND PRACTICES

Farmer survey disputes general public’s view on ag Misconceptions abound | The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says farmers are innovative and strive to protect the environment BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says a new survey debunks many misconceptions about farming. The survey, which was filled out by 523 out the federation’s 7,200 agribusiness members between March 19 and April 22, asked farmers about their plans to protect the environment and their overall plan for the next three years. “We wanted to get feedback to ensure we had the most up-to-date

information on the issues,” said Marilyn Braun-Pollon, the CFIB’s vicepresident of agri-business. “It will help us continue to lobby all levels of government to ensure we have farmer friendly policies.” The results clash with a federal government study that found Canadians believe family farms are becoming extinct and that the agriculture sector is shrinking, lacks innovation and potentially harms the environment. Braun-Pollon said her organization’s study shows that isn’t true. She said Canadians have these misconceptions because they don’t

understand that agriculture is more than just where food originates. Most Canadians likely don’t know that air bags contain cornstarch or shampoo contains oats, she added. “The list goes on and on. When you look at it, everyday tasks wouldn’t be possible (without agriculture). Where would we be without agriculture?” The CFIB outlined key realities of farming based on its study, including that agriculture is innovative and modern. The survey found that 51 percent of farmers plan to adopt new, innova-

tive technologies over the next three years. Braun-Pollon said the agriculture sector is also growing, despite what Canadians may think. Twenty-one percent of farmers are hiring, and holding a job in the agriculture sector has many opportunities, she added. As well, the survey found that 95 percent of farmers say they are taking action to protect the environment, such as improving the management of hazardous products, investing in energy efficient equipment and protecting water sources and waterways. “To say that farmers are not inter-

ested in the environment is false,” she said. “Canadian farmers are working on a variety of fronts to make sure the environment is protected.” She also said that while it may seem to some Canadians that farms aren’t being kept in the family, this is not true. Most farmers are older that 55, but the survey showed that 83 percent are passing the farm to a family member. “It’s important groups like the CFIB and provincial and federal governments really do work hard in improving the perception of agriculture,” Braun-Pollon said.

GLOBAL TRADE | GOV’T SUPPORTS

Developing countries blast rich world farm subsidies ROME, Italy (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Wealthy countries are still subsidizing their farmers at the expense of developing nations, two farm ministers told a recent Food and Agriculture Organization meeting. They said it undermined market access for some of the world’s poorest producers. “Our cotton producers are constantly targeted by unfair subsidies from the North,” Burkina Faso agriculture minister Mahama Zoungrana told delegates at a meeting of the United Nations agency in Rome. “The rules and standards of international trade are not favourable to SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises) from Africa.” Georgian agriculture minister Otar Danelia echoed that concern. “I believe a global approach is needed to deal with farm subsidies,” he told delegates at the FAO ministerial meeting on governance and international commodity markets. “They create imbalances.” The United States, the world’s largest cotton producer, paid its cotton farmers $32.9 billion to grow their crops between 1995 and 2012, the Environmental Working Group reported. “U.S. farmers are subsidized, so they produce more cotton than they would otherwise, lowering the global price and hurting farmers in Burkina Faso,” said Gawain Kripke, Oxfam America’s director of research. “This creates unfair global competition.” European cotton producers, based mostly in Greece and Spain, receive smaller subsidies, but the European Union accounts for only one percent of world production. For other crops, the EU spends $58 billion a year on farm subsidies. Farmers from poorer countries say they cannot compete, given these levels of government support for their rivals. Members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development spent $258 billion subsidizing agriculture in 2013, OECD data show.

SURPLUS CROPS | STORAGE, DELIVERY ISSUES

Troubles pile up for grain handlers after record U.S. corn harvest Yields above expectations | There will be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;piles and pilesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of surplus, says analyst CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The giant corn harvest that is about to hit full stride in the U.S. Midwest looks set to overwhelm storage and pile up outdoors, which raises quality issues and makes it hard to keep supplies moving. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record corn crop of 14.4 billion bushels would fill up 60 percent of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grain storage of 24 billion bu. Combined with record soybean crop and hefty harvests of other grains, including spring wheat, it means 20 billion bu. of new crops will be looking for storage. And that would be on top of the 3.5 billion bu. reported in storage as of Sept. 1 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Hal Reed, chief executive officer of the Andersons Inc., a major grain handler in Toledo, Ohio, said his company is already piling grain at its elevators in Tennessee and other mid-south states even before harvest moves north into the main corn belt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still believe the actual yields will continue to grow from where USDA has them at now. The corn crop is as good as any Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen,â&#x20AC;? Reed said. Surplus corn is often held in temporary piles of 200,000 bu. or more covered with tarpaulin while waiting for trains or barges to ship the grain out. However, transportation has been hard to find this year as shale oil competes for space on rails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are going to be piles and piles. The stampede will start about Oct. 20,â&#x20AC;? when on-farm storage in Iowa should be about full, said Charles Hurburgh, a grain quality specialist at Iowa State University. The challenge will be to preserve the quality of the crop left on the ground and keep it safe for later use. Grain merchandisers need to make sure corn is dried to about 13 percent moisture before storing. It also needs to be properly aerated while on the ground to prevent spoilage and stop toxins from growing. Soybeans, which are valued for

their oil content and harvested before corn, are more likely to be sold straight off the field than corn, which is hardier and can be â&#x20AC;&#x153;air driedâ&#x20AC;? so that farmers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay to dry it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as people say you can put corn away at 17 to 18 moisture, put the aerators on and keep it, experi-

ence tells that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always work out well,â&#x20AC;? said Joe Christopher, a Nebraska merchandiser. Grain merchants are expected to f o rc e m a n y f a r m e r s t o a c c e p t â&#x20AC;&#x153;deferred pricingâ&#x20AC;? contracts, which allow merchants to take ownership of the grain so that they can better manage their space. However, there are still problems moving the piles. Rail freight rates are soaring because of competition, not just among grain shippers but also from shale oil in many grain regions, especially the Dakotas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gets clogged up at the farmer, it gets clogged up at the elevator, it gets clogged up at a whole bunch of places. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a real problem,â&#x20AC;? said Stephen Nicholson, an analyst at Rabobank, a major farm lender.

MACHINERY | TILLAGE

New full-tilt tillage tools hit market Smooth sailing in spring | Tire ruts in muddy fields this fall won’t disappear on their own and can be hard on equipment BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manufacturers are switching their focus from moisture conservation implements to full-tilt tillage tools as waterlogged fields become the muddy new norm rather than the exception. In response to farmer demand, Sunflower introduced two new implements in September: the 6650-48 vertical tillage tool and two splitwing 1436 disc harrows. Dennis Lewallen, chief engineer on both cultivator projects, said there are valid reasons why farmers are adding tillage implements to their equipment lineups. The bottom line is that zero tillage has inadvertently created four distinct problems for farmers that only tillage can fix: Weed control “We’re seeing a lot more herbicide problems,” Lewallen said. “More weeds are becoming resistant to chemicals, so some form of tillage is necessary.” Weed specialists in the northern Great Plains states and across the prairie provinces are nearly unanimous in their belief that glyphosate was too easy to use and farmers came to rely on it too much. Herbicide resistance is the ugly result.

surface that’s hard on sprayers and combines.

Drying Many regions have had almost a decade of above-average rainfall, but some farmers are still adjusting to the idea that they should do everything possible to conserve soil moisture. Those waterlogged fields need tillage to dry the soil. Ruts Tire ruts have become another big factor because of the mud, and tire ruts don’t take care of themselves. However, it’s not only muddy conditions that call for surface tillage. Depending on soil type, long-term zero till fields can develop a rough

Compaction Many zero-till producers are beginning to realize that the frost they once figured would break up soil compaction isn’t doing the bang-up job they assumed it would. Lewallen said the latest generation of shallow working tillage tools are designed to address these problems. They get into the top layer to kill weeds, smooth out wheel ruts, break up shallow compaction, dry things out a little and warm the soil quicker than leaving trash cover on the surface.

“Matching our new tillage tools to those 500 horsepower and 600 h.p. tractors is also very important in what we do,” he said. “If you have a $500,000 tractor, you need to work it to the optimum level to make optimum use of your investment. If your implements are too small, you’re wasting the money you spent on the tractor. “Implements are getting bigger, but transport dimensions are supposed to be getting smaller. And implements travel a lot more than ever before, going from one field to another field on the same farm, so we have to make them narrower and keep them lower, and that’s a real challenge.” Shipping from factory to farmgate

is another consideration for engineers because today’s large tillage implements are too big to ship fully assembled. Lewallen said they need to be designed so that they can be manufactured in pre-assembled modules at the factory and then bolt together when they reach their final destination. He said this bundling system also reduces the number of assembly mistakes at the final destination. Sunflower 6650-48 Vertical Tillage The 6650-48 vertical tillage implement has a true working width of 47 feet, 11 inches, which gives farmers the capability of covering more than

38 acres per hour, according to an Agco news release. It folds into a transport package of 18 feet, two inches wide and 13 feet, 11 inches high. Saber Blades are installed with the typical Sunflower staggered 18 degree offset gang arrangement in a five section, six by six inch frame. Agco says the residue left behind creates a surface that is resistant to wind and water erosion. A hydraulic cylinder locks the hinge in the in-field working position. This permits the hinge to pivot only on the lower pivot point located close to the disc gang, which provides for a greater range of negative flex of the wing so the tool can close-

Properly adjusted tillage implements will produce a consistent, level soil across the entire width of the machine, leaving no ridges or furrows. Gauge wheels are important on flexible tillage tools in sloping or uneven terrain to prevent front-wing corners from gouging. When set correctly, these wheels should move slightly from side to side. Measuring between the adjustment bolts and setting both wheels the same is the final step in the field adjustment process. | AGCO PHOTO ly follow changes in terrain. “When it folds up into the transport position, it needs an offset hinge so it’s more compact. So the hinge transitions to the upper fold point. In the field, it transitions to the lower fold point,” he said. “The other thing we’ve done for transport is let it ride on our walking triple system. That’s a walking beam with two pivot points and three tires. It flexes more going over humps and bumps on the road. It really smooths out the ride.” Agco says this patented walking triple system is unique in agricultural implements. When encountering a bump, the lead tire works with the second tire to complete the first walking tandem. As the implement rides over the bump, the second tire gradually becomes the lead tire for the second walking tandem. As the second tire is elevated, a weight transfer removes the first tire from the sequence, and pivoting is then shared between the second and third tires. The system features greaseable tapered roller bearings. The 6650-48 also features: • 1.75-inch round stress-proof gang shafts • triple-sealed, greaseable trunnion-style gang bearings • offset C-Flex bearing standards • a maintenance-free lift system with a 5.5-inch lift axle on all hydraulic lifts Heavy-duty gauge wheels pivot on service-free, ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) material that provides lifetime lubrication. A long, narrow tongue permits tight turns and good field manoeuvrability. Convertible Category 4 and 5 hitches allow the 6650-48 to match any high-horsepower tractor.

clear-cut the entire width of the soil profile. The offset rear gang creates a feathering effect, which prevents ridgevalley profiles in the wake of the machine. Both sets of gangs ride on C-Flex bearing standards to absorb the shock that is encountered when striking obstacles.

Each wing frame is designed to match the cutting width of the tool, allowing wheels and wing lift mechanisms to be located near the outer limits of the cutting area. This ensures maximum control of the wing and level working orientation to the field. The 1436-33SW has a transport

width of 15 feet, six inches and a folded height of 13 feet. The 143638SW folds to 17 feet, 11 inches wide and 13 feet high. The machines have a maintenancefree lift system riding on UHMW plastic bearings, UHMW wing hinge bearings, heavy-duty gauge wheels that pivot on UHMW bearings, sin-

gle-point depth control mounted on the front for simple adjustments and a hydraulic depth lock. Farmers also have their choice of three finishing reels: 11-inch- and 14-inch-diameter flat-bar for aggressive clod crushing or the 14-inchdiameter chevron for soil compression.

Split-Wing 1436SW Disc Harrows Two larger split-wing models have been added to the 1436 tandem disc harrows lineup. The 1436-33SW and the 1436-38SW both have up to 600 pounds per working foot of cutting and slicing weight. True working widths are 33 feet, three inches and 38 feet. They both feature 20 degree gang angles with full-concavity blades for good residue-cutting ability in B.t. corn residue. The Agco release says the new harrows are intended to leverage the power of high-horsepower tractors to work more acres.

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — People who have been frustrated waiting for calves to finish eating may appreciate the contraption Grober Nutrition is using for its nutrition and management studies in Woodstock. Emily De Benetti of Grober Nutrition she said this is the second year the company has used the Forster Technik’s feeding system in its trials in the Development Barn on the Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show grounds. The brains of the calf feeding system is a computer program, “which allows us to individually manage our calves’ feeding programs,” De Benetti said. “We have days on milk managed, the concentration of the milk, portion sizes and a weaning program all installed on this program.” Weaning programs, including the graduated 10-day step down, are an important part of the computer programming. De Benetti said everything is gradually changed throughout the milk fed period to decrease metabolic upsets. “ The slow graduated process allows calves to come in often and get small meal sizes, which helps them stay full throughout the day instead of binge eating,” De Benetti said. The computer records information from each meal, which allows the milk-fed programs to be easily tracked. “We can see as a group where we’ve had ebbs and flows in intakes. What’s good about that is that we can follow disease trends and developmental trends with a group of animals,” De Benetti said. Grober Nutrition is conducting two distinct trials using Forster Technik’s feeding system. Both trials use nipples to feed, but there are differences in feeding methods. One system puts calves in group housing, and radio frequency identification ear tags activate meals. The computer identifies the animal when a tag is scanned and then delivers the corresponding meal. The second system puts calves in individual stalls and a shuttle travels along the Calf Rail to each animal. The Calf Rail is usually attached to the ceiling so the legs can’t be bumped, although in the Development Barn it sits on legs. A blue insulated milk line, which has a heating coil running through it, connects the feeding shuttle and the Forster Technik pump station, where concentration and temperature are controlled. It pumps milk to the shuttle, which also contains a secondary pump. “The secondary pump has a secondary membrane that regulates the flow of milk. It enables the computer to monitor how much the calves are drinking, how quickly they are drinking, and that information goes back

to the computer.” This system can be set to feed up to eight times per day. Grober Nutrition staff feed calves in the studies fives times a day. The feeding shuttle can also be sent manually to a specific calf if necessary. “Water gets flushed through these lines, and then milk gets flushed all the way down to the pump but not past the pump so that milk doesn’t flow,” she said. “It has to wait for the calf to suckle.” A beeper lets calves know it’s time to feed and the shuttle slides down the rail until it hits a magnet. This tells the computer to stop the shuttle and turn it to face the calf. “The calves have about two minutes to activate the pump before it is stopped,” De Benetti said. “Once the pump is activated, they have around eight minutes to drink their meal. If they haven’t finished their meal allotment in that time, drink faster next time girls.” The machine turns away from the calf when it is finished its meal and moves down the rail to the next magnet, at which time it turns to face the next calf. A nozzle sprays detergent and water on the nipple between calves to prevent contamination. The rail system can feed 32 calves, 16 per side. The limiting factor is the hose that usually reaches no more than 30 metres from the machine. The machine returns to the docking station once it finishes the feeding cycle, which is where the washing and rinsing cycle occurs.

AGRONOMY | WEEDS

Effective weed control begins in autumn; timing is key PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR

all is a good time to control perennial and winter annual weeds. In fact, for many weeds, it is the best time for control. However, timing for optimal herbicide control varies with the type of weeds are in the field. Dandelions are best controlled from

the middle of September until the end of October. However, it depends on the weather. Canada thistle is slightly earlier and should be sprayed before Thanksgiving. Foxtail barley and quackgrass are similar to Canada thistle, needing a slightly earlier application. Perennial sow thistle is also susceptible to frost damage and shuts down growth earlier in the fall. As a result, control depends on the weather. In an open fall, producers can apply herbicide later in the season. Before spraying, make sure that the targeted weeds are growing, with new supple leaf area.

Weeds cut off at harvest need time to accumulate new leaf tissue that can act as suitable surfaces for absorption of herbicides applied post-harvest. However, leaf surface area will still be only a fraction of what it was before harvest, even after waiting for three to four weeks of regrowth. As a result, glyphosate rates may need to be doubled or tripled to get the same concentration of glyphosate in the plant. Rain after harvest will wash off leaves and allow chemicals to absorb more effectively. If frost is predicted or has occurred, avoid application until the leaf condition of the targeted weeds can be evaluated.

October is the best time to control winter annuals such as narrow-leaved hawk’s beard, stork’s bill, annual sow thistle, both common and spiny, shepherd’s purse, stinkweed, flixweed and cleavers. Waiting until then ensures that all of the weeds that will emerge are sprayed. These weeds are easily controlled in fall but may be quite difficult to control if allowed to overwinter. Glyphosate is the preferred postharvest control product. The addition of products such as tribenuronmethyl (Express), tribenuron-methyl + metsulfuron-methyl (Express Pro) and florasulam (PrePass) will improve control on perennial weeds.

However, these products may limit the types of crops that can be grown the following year, including canola. Always consider spring plans before adding additional herbicides to the fall program.

ACQUISITION | FARMERS OF NORTH AMERICA

SASKATCHEWAN | DERAILMENT AFTERMATH

FNA says it’s ‘scrambling’ to make bid for CWB

Local residents have concerns following toxic train derailment

CWB ownership | FNA says it needs farmers to commit by Oct. 20 BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — They know it’s dreadful timing and seems like a long shot, but organizers of Farmers of North America’s bid for CWB say their plan is realistic. However, they said farmers need to get behind it now, within days, or the opportunity for a new generation of farmer grain company ownership will disappear. “By Oct. 20 we need to know,” Bob Friesen, FNA’s Ottawa-based representative, said at a sparsely attended meeting with farmers in Portage La Prairie Oct. 8. “We’re scrambling under the time line that we have created.” FNA is attempting to raise pledges from farmers to launch an official bid for CWB, which the federal government must privatize by 2017. Friesen said FNA believes CWB is likely to be sold long before then, so a

farmer-funded bid like the one it’s proposing can’t wait until winter, when farmers have time to consider issues like this. Friesen said it might be a last opportunity for farmers to get a stake in the prairie grain handling system. “If farmers don’t get it, someone else will,” he said. “It could be, who knows? It could be ADM. It could be Bunge. It could be a Cargill. It could be a Richardson.” Rumours are rife in the Winnipegbased grain industry about who might be interested in acquiring the CWB. Would a locally established grain company, global or Canada-only, try to fit it into their organizations? Would a global player not presently established in Canada see it as a way to get into the market? Would a private equity company see the CWB as a nice set of agricultural commodity assets to fit into their portfolio?

Would a foreign co-operative like CHS of the United States see CWB as a way to bring Canadian farmers into the fold? As one grain industry source said, “there are rumours about everyone, none of them based on anything.” Friesen said money shouldn’t be a problem if it goes ahead Oct. 20. More than $40 million has already been raised in pledges and more is coming in. As well, the FNA has a “strategic investor.” “They’ve got lots of money,” said Friesen. Only three local farmers attended the Portage La Prairie meeting, which was held in the middle of a busy harvest day for most in the area. One asked how likely a bid would be, considering that FNA talk about building a fertilizer plant and buying CWB but actually owns almost no facilities. Friesen said FNA had attempted to buy an export terminal in 2007 but was thwarted by the grain industry, which he said was desperate to prevent farmer ownership of grain handling assets.

CLAIR, Sask. — Eastern Saskatchewan residents who were caught up in a train derailment last week are asking questions about whether their animals, cropland and water have been contaminated. The Oct. 7 derailment near Clair, east of Saskatoon, forced people from their homes because of safety concerns related to a fire in some of the overturned cars. Twenty-six of approximately 100 cars in a Canadian National Railway train left the tracks, and six of the 26 were carrying dangerous goods. Of the six, two contained petroleum distillate, also known as Varsol, two contained sodium hydroxide and two contained hydrochloric acid. Two of the six caught fire after the derailment, which sent dark black smoke into the sky late in the morning. No contaminates were detected in the air as of late last week, and air quality was going to continue to be tested until cleanup was finished. Residences were able to return to their homes early Oct. 8. Jason Evans, who owns Clair–Side Bison, was worried about his herd of bison near the town and also about crop and hayland downwind of the derailment.

He was worried on the day of the derailment about the health of his animals and crops but sounded more optimistic after he returned home. “I don’t think there’s going to be anything, but because there’s such a strong wind … it’s not going to hurt to check. And they said they’re going to check our water supplies and stuff like that too.” Evans said he has checked his animals and they look OK for now. “A guy won’t know until maybe this spring, this coming up spring, if any of the cows are going to throw their calves and stuff like that. A guy will just have to keep his eyes open and keep watching them,” said Evans. Although everything appears to have worked out this time, Evans said he has concerns about future problems. “I know they got to have the railroad and I know that, you know, it is quite safe, it doesn’t happen very often, but it’s always in a guy’s mind. Its always there, its always a possibility.” According to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada’s monthly rail occurrence statistics, Saskatchewan had 51 non-main track train derailments from January to August. The 2009-13 average is 46. Alberta had 108, up from its average of 87. Manitoba had 61 this year, also up from its average of 41.

October more than pie in pumpkin capital Fall fair and weigh-off | Master pumpkin growers flock to Alberta town to show off their gourds

WHITE VERSUS ORANGE White varieties are called albino, ghost, Snowball, Casper, Lumina, Baby Boo and Cotton Candy. Depending on the variety, white pumpkins have a more starchy flavour.

BY LES DUNFORD FREELANCE WRITER

SMOKY LAKE, Alta. — A community in northeastern Alberta easily lives up to its reputation as the province’s pumpkin capital. Smoky Lake, with a population of slightly more than 1,000, swells many times during the first weekend of October as thousands arrive to take in the annual Great White North Pumpkin Fair and Weigh-Off. It is one of many worldwide events sanctioned by the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth as an official weighin site to find the heaviest pumpkin in the world. It started as a small event when Smoky Lake first began holding it 26 years ago, with a few local growers. However, it has steadily grown over the years, both in participants, pumpkin weights and spectators. The town comes alive with pumpkin fever, but the event is more than just pumpkins. Organizers also look for the heaviest squash, watermelon, long gourd and field pumpkin. Other events include an archery fun shoot, fun run, garage sales, a car

Another popular event is the pumpkin drop, in which a large pumpkin is dropped from a crane 60

metres in the air. This year’s pumpkin winner was no stranger to the competition. Don Crews of Lloydminster took first place with a 1,210.5 pound monster.

It was his sixth win, including 2006 at 1,029 lb., 2007 at 1,137 lb., 2010 at 987.2 lb., 2011 at 1,081 lb. and 2013 at 1,213.8 lb. However, it wasn’t his biggest pump-

kin. In 2012, he had to settle for second place with a 1,274 lb. specimen. That year, a new site record was set by Ray Beaudin of Coalhurst, Alta., with a 1,275.5 pounder, just a pound and a half more than Crews’. His closest competition this year was Brian Meyer of Goodsoil, Sask., who entered an 809.5 lb. pumpkin to take second place. Crews said he starts his pumpkins in his greenhouse early in the spring and then transfers them to his garden. He eventually sets what he feels are his largest pumpkins on padded pallets, nurturing his “babies” with care and attention. He doesn’t divulge his secrets to growing them so big, but did say it isn’t cheap, considering his investment in a greenhouse, heaters and cooling fans. However, first place brings him a nice trophy and $1,400 in cash. This year, a local business, CMS Logistics and CMS Equipment Rentals, matched that with another $1,400, giving Crews a total of $2,800 in prize money.

GRASSLANDS | MANAGEMENT

Stampede ranch promotes conservation OH Ranch | Calgary Stampede offers educational opportunities at a 130-year-old ranch protected by an easement BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LONGVIEW, Alta. — The unbroken landscape of the OH Ranch reaches from rolling grasslands to foothills to blue mountains. It’s a typical landscape in the Alberta foothills, and one that the Calgary Stampede promised to maintain when it was given the 8,000 acre 130-year-old ranch two years ago. Calgary businessperson Doc Seaman bought the working ranch in 1986 with the intention of preserving it. In 2008, he arranged to have the property protected under a heritage rangeland designation and conservation easement managed with the Nature Conservancy of Canada. When he died in 2009, local rancher and oilman Bill Siebens was determined to protect the land, so he bought it and donated it to the Stampede in 2012. The gift was worth $11 million. The Stampede has since developed a broad management plan to preserve the land and water, including an education component in which elementary schoolchildren may visit by appointment. A day-long field trip to a working ranch with cattle, horses and expansive grasslands is a unique experience for many city-raised children. Most know nothing of food production and have never visited a farm or seen animals up close. “We are catering to quite a broad mix of individuals,” said Sharon Lightfoot, the ranch’s educational co-ordinator. The Stampede hired Lightfoot, a former teacher, to develop a curriculum to mesh with the Grade 4 to 6 social studies and science curriculum. The children can study geography, water systems, land use, local history and cultural heritage. She worked with teachers, local historians and school boards while developing the program. It can be altered as each group visits to make sure children get a full experience. Teachers receive videos about the ranch so they can continue the learning experience in the classroom. School group tours are limited, but Lightfoot’s date book was filled to capacity when she spread the word about what was offered. Ten groups will visit this fall and 10 in the spring. The intention is not to disturb daily operations at the ranch, which is home to about 220 black and red Angus commercial cows. “This is a working cattle ranch, so we don’t want to interfere with calving season and so forth,” said Lightfoot. The OH is not a dude ranch or a tourist attraction, said Bonni Clark of the Stampede.

HISTORY OF THE OH • 1881: Mule skinner Orville Hawkins Smith and buffalo trader Lafayette French start ranching as squatters near High River. They buy cattle and register the OH brand. • 1883: Frederick Ings from Charlottetown buys the OH cattle and establishes his ranch on the Smith and French land. The ranch is named the Rio Alto, meaning High River. • 1890: Northwest Mounted Police establish a detachment on the Rio Alto in a log cabin near the main ranch house. • 1918: Walter Ings buys out Frederick and later sells the ranch, cattle and brand to Pat Burns, who immediately sells the ranch to a shipping company, Mayer and Lage. However, Burns buys it back 20 years later. • 1950: The Burns Estate sells the property to C.W. (Kink) Roenish and Bill Ardern. The name is legally changed to OH Ranch Ltd. Bert Sheppard is hired to manage the ranch and becomes a full partner in 1957 with Ardern’s son-in-law, Doug Kingsford. • 1986: The ranch is nearly acquired by the federal defence department for an artillery ground and training area. Calgary oilman Daryl (Doc) Seaman buys it to preserve it as a working ranch. • 2008: Portions of the ranch are designated as provincial heritage rangelands and placed under a conservation easement with the Nature Conservancy of Canada. • 2011: Bill Siebens, a Calgary businessperson and owner of the Tongue Creek Ranch, buys the ranch after Seaman dies.

Ken Pigeon was hired to manage the OH Ranch after the Calgary Stampede took over the operation. Their management plan includes protecting grasslands, planned grazing and improving riparian zones. The Stampede has also developed an education program where children in Grades 4-6 can visit the ranch. |

“This is a living legacy where heritage and tradition meets best every day practices. Often those things are not the same,” she said. “Managing the land, the ecosystems and the watershed are what ranchers have done for 100 years, so to have 8,000 acres in one parcel that is a legacy property really showcases that for the ongoing benefit of all Albertans,” she said. The Stampede also owns a 20,000 acre ranch near Hanna, Alta., where its rodeo stock is born and raised. The OH will be maintained as a

commercial cow-calf operation that sells cattle on the open market to offset costs. About half the land is deeded and the rest is crown lease land. Ranch manager Ken Pigeon said the Stampede wants it managed as an agricultural operation where the landscape is improved and the cattle herd expanded. He has worked at the Bar U Ranch national historic site and the Ya Ha Tinda Ranch near Banff, Alta., so he has experience meeting with the public on a working ranch. Two herds of Black and Red Angus were bought from local ranches, so the

animals were already adapted to the area’s grasslands and rough terrain. The ranch was analyzed and a management plan written before the new herd was moved onto the property. It is home to nearly 70 wildlife species as well as diverse plant life. Both native grassland and tame grass grows on the ranch. Overgrazing, spreading of invasive weeds and poplar encroachment have occurred on the lease. Canada thistle is a major menace. “We do have expectations of improving the land. I have that expectation

myself,” Pigeon said. The grazing plan is part of a larger management plan to protect riparian areas and the overall ecosystem. The herd could expand to 300 cows if there is enough grass. Replacements will be raised on the ranch. Cows receive the OH brand and are vaccinated and treated as necessary. The rough topography, which includes steep hills and outcroppings of rock, means much of the cattle work is done on horseback. However, modern farm equipment is used when needed.

Lameness is one of the most common health concerns in horses, but new technology that connects animals to a computer may identify problems sooner. Veterinarians have typically conducted a clinical form of evaluation to assess lameness, but some forms can be quite subtle, said Heidi Banse, an associate professor at the University of Calgary’s veterinary school who specializes in equine medicine. The lameness location unit, which was invented about 10 years ago, can provide a fast and accurate diagnosis. Horses are typically graded on a scale of zero to five with the lowest number meaning they are sound and five indicating non-weight bearing lame. Veterinarians can watch head nodding for front lameness and hip swaying for back foot trouble, but often a visual appraisal does not pin point the trouble spot. “Where people find it really useful is where horses have multiple limb lamenesses,” she said during a dem-

HEREFORD REGISTRY | CELEBRATING THREE MILLION

CHA holds auction for milestone Hereford registration numbers BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

One lucky registered Hereford will have six zeroes after its name in the breed registry book later this year. The Canadian Hereford Association will auction registry numbers 3,000,000 and 3,000,001 after the grand champion female class at the Ca na d i a n We s t e r n A g r i b i t i o n national Hereford show in Regina Nov. 28. The plan has already generated much interest among Hereford breeders, according to CHA communications director Brad Dubeau. “There is lots of interest right across Canada,” he said. “I know that there’s lots of discussion. I think breeders will come on side to participate.” Proceeds from the auction will go to the recently established Hereford Research Fund, with the goal of accumulating a nest egg for breed research. The CHA is Canada’s largest beef cattle registry, and the idea of auctioning off the milestone numbers was the brainchild of CHA staff. A plaque commemorating the two millionth animal in the registry hangs in the CHA office in the name of the late Keith Gilmore, who was editor of the Canadian Hereford Digest for 30 years.

Number 2,000,001 is held in honour of Fred Clark, former director of the Canadian Livestock Records Corp. “That was partly where the idea came up,” said Dubeau. Staff decided the next milestones deserved equally special treatment, and the idea for an auction was hatched. Once number three million is sold, the runner-up bidder will be offered 3,000,001 at the last bid, or the bidding will be reopened. Online bidding will also be available, courtesy of Cattle in Motion, which is a sponsor of the event along with T Bar C Cattle Co. and Agribition. Dubeau said the bids and funds raised are anyone’s guess. “We’re basically going to see what we can raise, but we’re hoping it will reach into a few thousand dollars.” Herefords born in 2014 are eligible, and if the winning bidder has already registered all animals, one of them can be re-numbered. The registration will be noted with a plaque for the owner and another hung in the CHA office. “It’s a neat thing to be celebrating,” said Dubeau, who added that the CHA will celebrate its 125th anniversary next year.

Third year students are also comparing the effectiveness of phenylbutazone (bute) versus Meloxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Bute is commonly used for pain

relief in horses from sprains, tendonitis, laminitis and other overuse injuries. Meloxicam is not licensed for use in Canada. The results of the U of C study are not complete.

HORSES | WINTER PREPARATIONS

Ensure horses have nutritious food, sufficient winter shelter ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

ooming cold weather can present a different set of challenges than does caring for horses during summer. Water Horses need access to clean, fresh water during winter. Snow is not enough. The average light horse, weighing 1,100 pounds, drinks up to 30 litres per day during summer. Horses that are primarily fed dry hay, which is often the case in winter, will need 60 litres or more. Horses would need to consume at least twice as much volume of snow to get the same amount of water, depending on snow density. It takes considerable energy to melt snow to body temperature, which would increase energy requirements. An insufficient water supply while feeding dry hay or cubes is a recipe for impaction colic because a shortage of moisture to rehydrate the dry

Nutritional requirements increase substantially during cold weather because horses spend a lot of energy keeping warm. High quality, dust- and mould-free hay is ideal because digesting this roughage generates substantial body heat. Owners should stock enough hay to feed extra during cold snaps. As well, don’t forget to provide salt during winter. Nutritional requirements of horses in the winter will vary with weather conditions, activity level, pregnancy status and age. Supplemental feed such as grain can be added as necessary, although these create less direct heat generation than hay. Slow-feed hay nets have gained popularity in recent years. They are designed to reduce feed waste and give horses a more natural way to eat. Rather than putting hay bales in traditional feeders, the hay nets have small openings that prevent horses from eating quickly. They “graze” the bale at a rate similar to pasture grazing. Less hay is wasted. The nets also prevent the respiratory issues that occur when horses spends all day with their noses in a rou n d b a l e i n ha l i n g d u s t a n d mould. Thick winter coats can mask body condition, so it is important to occasionally feel a horse’s ribs rather than just do a visual check. This will allow you to adjust for too little or too much feeding.

blanketing is a good idea if horses are in a wet climate where rain prevails rather than snow because their wet hair cannot insulate. Horses with thin coats such as some thoroughbreds or those that are clipped should be blanketed when outdoors. Now is a good time to wash winter blankets and fix holes, broken buckles and other points of wear. Regardless of whether horses are blanketed, they need to have access to shelter, especially from wind. Inspect pens, alleyways and other areas for hazardous items that could be covered by snow, such as harrows. Tidy these up before snowfall to prevent injury. Health and hoof care Talk about a winter plan and schedule with your farrier at the next trim. Hoofs tend to grow slower in the winter, but regular trimming is still necessary. Some people prefer to have their horses go barefoot in the winter, while others use ice-ball preventing pads under their horses’ shoes. Fall is a great time to schedule a wellness examination with your veterinarian. A head to hoof check may reveal early disease than can be managed before cold weather hits. Ask specifically for a dental examination and if necessary, have a float performed. Properly maintained teeth can reduce wasted feed and the chance of colic. A vet can also do a fecal worm egg check to determine if deworming is necessary. Body condition can be assessed, and any nutritional modifications can be recommended. There is no telling how long the last bit of warm weather will last, so take advantage of it to get you and your horse prepared for winter.

Shelter-blanketing There is much debate about whether to blanket horses during the winter. A general rule of thumb is that

Reliance on food safety at processing problematic: official Europe takes on-farm approach | North America may need to adjust processing systems and technologies to meet European trade requirements BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The approaches to food safety in North America and Europe are as different as night and day. Europeans believe in tackling the problem at the farm, while North Americans try to remove risks at the final processing stage, said Keith Wa r r i n e r o f t h e U n i v e r s i t y o f Guelphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food science department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Europe puts a lot of focus on farm intervention to try and keep pathogens from entering the farm and obviously being disseminated,â&#x20AC;? he

told a Canadian Meat Council food safety symposium held in Toronto Oct. 2-3. Large scale North American meat plants use a combination of washes, sprays and other decontaminants, but they have limitations. Organic acids, lactic, acetic washes are common in North America but not in Europe. Many washes and other treatments work well at removing E. coli, salmonella and other pathogens when used in combination. Some work better than others and some are ineffectual. As well, it is not uncommon for clean carcasses to

become tainted again once they are cut into pieces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year, there are new interventions coming on and the real ones making a difference in the industry are citric acid based washes,â&#x20AC;? Warriner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These interventions (that) we think work didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work at all. They were more like cosmetic.â&#x20AC;? New technologies are also emerging, but they must be approved and need to be cost effective for a company to consider. Government approval can take years. Meanwhile, new trade agreements with Europe are forcing processors to learn what food safety technologies

are acceptable in that new market. Chlorinated water is often used to rinse chickens in the United States, but the practice is not accepted in Europe because chlorine is considered carcinogenic. Chlorinated spray washes seemed like the answer, yet salmonella and campylobacter are increasing in the U.S., said independent consultant Ruff Lowman, who has researched systems in northern Europe, where on-farm biosecurity is emphasized. More feed treatments and vaccines are used at the farm level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vaccination is effective against salmonella in Europe, but vaccina-

tion in North America isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so common,â&#x20AC;? said Lowman. His research looked at how Iceland reduced the incidence of campylobacter by 90 percent in broiler operations. Fresh sampling found in 1999 that 80 percent of flocks were positive for campylobacter, which resulted in a campaign to reduce levels starting in 2001. Ultraviolet treatment of water and improved biosecurity was implemented and manure management received more attention. Simple things such as fly control in barns were introduced, but control must be diligent, he said.

FOOD SAFETY | E. COLI

Pasteurization of beef reduces harmful bacteria BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Spraying hot water on beef trimmings for 40 seconds has proven to be another way to get rid of dangerous bacteria such as E. coli 0157:H7. Alberta Agriculture meat scientists wondered what the treatment, known as pasteurization, does to the taste and smell of ground beef. Carcasses have smooth surfaces and are subjected to various treatments such as hot water pasteurization, but once they are broken into pieces, there is a greater chance of bacteria hiding in hard to reach places such as cut surfaces and trim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a quite a risk of contamination during the post slaughter handling,â&#x20AC;? said Zeb Pietraski, a meat scientist with Alberta Agriculture. He and sensory scientist Nicole Gaudette explained what happens to the beef and its resulting quality after it is pasteurized during a Canadian Meat Council food safety symposium in Toronto Oct. 3. The 85 C water was applied to different lots of varying red meat-to-fat ratios for 20, 40 and 60 seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A 40 second treatment was good enough to reduce the microbial counts without a negative effect on the quality of the product,â&#x20AC;? he said. The next step was to follow up on eating quality. Gaudette used a trained sensory panel of eight people to evaluate the odour and colour of the raw product. Another 100 tasters tried and rated the cooked patties for overall acceptability, appearance, colour, flavour, juiciness, texture and after taste.

BAKERY | STARTING FROM SCRATCH

Bakers proud of local sourcing Milling Saskatchewan grain | Couple enjoys personal contact with suppliers of wheat, rye and spelt BY TARYN RIEMER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Fresh from the field takes on a whole new meaning at this Saskatoon bakery. Bryn Rawlyk and his wife, Beth Côté, have been milling their own flour and producing artisan breads and pastries at the Night Oven Bakery since it opened in March. The couple learned their skills by baking and working in kitchens and restaurants across Canada. They learned about milling by talking to other millers and then jumping in, giving it a go themselves. Rawlyk said they wanted to open the bakery-mill because he had the skills and because Saskatoon is right in the middle of farm land. It would be easy to design his operation to match his passion for producing food from local, wholesome ingredients. “You drive 20 minutes in any direction from Saskatoon and you’re in the middle of a field. And so we should really focus on what we have around us,” said Rawlyk.

Talking to bakers in other cities, they heard that it was hard to get grain straight from a farmer. Rawlyk wanted to know what was going in his flour and be able to control it. The couple is also interested in organic and older grains — wheat varieties such as Red Fife and ancient grains such as spelt — which made having their own mill a must. “Not all flours are the same, from a baker’s perspective,” he said. “So, being able to control that product was important to me, and then also it was just exciting to call up farmers and use grain that’s from right here.” The bakery mills grain purchased from farmers from within a two hour radius of Saskatoon. They mill wheat, rye and spelt in their small stone mill, which is located in the bakery. There is also a larger mill, but they have not yet finished building all the parts. Rawlyk buys his spelt from Joanie and Norman Bromm of Tisdale, Sask. “We’re incredibly fortunate that I could call up 10 farmers and be like,

‘hey, could I get some grain,’ and they be like, ‘oh sure,’ ” Rawlyk said. Joanie Bromm said they supplied Rawlyk with spelt to try before the bakery opened, and he wanted to continue the partnership after the opening. Bromm said she and Norman are happy to supply the Saskatoon bakery because the more people who have the chance to try spelt, the better. Bromm wants people to know about spelt so they can inform those who have gluten sensitivities that this might be an option for them. Rawlyk said it took almost a year to fix up the warehouse in which the bakery is located. Rawlyk did most of the work in the bakery and on the brick and stone oven himself. “We built this all kind of ourselves based on, ‘it’s an old idea, but figuring it out as we go,’ because there’s no school to ‘this is how you build a nine foot brick oven,’ ” he said. “You know, you just have to figure it out.” The bakery starts the fire in its brick oven at three in the morning each day.

Baking at night was part of the reason behind the name of the business, but a book their three children enjoy called In The Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak also encouraged the name. Rawlyk said he mills flour twice a week, but it doesn’t take long to mill more if it’s needed. He said milling their own flour saves money, but for him it was more of an ideological motivation linked to his interest in whole grains, organic and local food. Building a wood fire bakery and milling their own flour was a complicated business model to explain to investors, he added, which is why he and his wife took on the task alone. The couple also buys 90 percent of their other ingredients from local suppliers. Rawlyk said they are hustling to keep up to the demand, which they had not expected. They hope to add sandwiches and soups in the future, as well as finish the larger mill and add a sifter so they can start milling their own white flour.

Monsanto spending (Reuters) — Monsanto has reported a smaller fourth-quarter loss and expects growth in the new fiscal year on sales of seeds. The quarter loss narrowed to $156 million from $249 million a year earlier. Executives laid out plans for investment in new business units in 2015 despite a challenging environment for global commodities. Profits will be affected by increased investments in new technology. It will pour $350 million into a new farm data business unit, Climate Corp, and other emerging businesses.

Falling crop prices haven’t hit prairie land rental rates yet, but if revenue continues to decline it will eventually take rates down from the high levels of recent years, say experts. | FILE PHOTO FARMLAND | RENTING

Farmland rental rates slow to respond to commodity prices Economist expects prices will adjust, but farmers with multi-year contracts will see margins squeezed BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Prairie crop receipts will be down this year, but it won’t necessarily be immediately reflected in the price that farmers pay for rented land, says a Farm Credit Canada economist. Money on hand is just one factor affecting prices, said Craig Klemmer, senior agricultural economist with FCC. “Rental rates are notoriously sticky,” he said. “They just don’t move as quick as some other triggers.” Factors that affect cash rental prices include Bank of Canada bond rates and local issues such as yield, quality and competition. Cash rental agreements are common, but many producers will be in multi-year agreements, meaning renters will have to watch their cost of production. “There’s a number of factors that would contribute to what a producer’s return is,” said Klemmer, who noted farmers may have locked in higher crop prices earlier in the year, providing them with a cushion. But average crop prices will be down. “It will tighten margins, definitely, and basis will be the big (factor), and that’s a local factor.” FCC agricultural economist James Bryan ran some cost of production numbers using the Saskatchewan Crop Planning guide as a base. The calculation showed that if crop prices were near $9.35 a bushel for canola, $5.50 for for spring wheat and $3 for feed barley, then the maximum that could be paid for rental on average yielding land would be $44 an acre and high yield land would be $68. If prices fell to $8.50 for canola, $5 for spring wheat and $2.50 for feed barley, then the maximum rental rate for average yield land would be $18 an acre and high yield land $38. Saskatchewan Agriculture found in a 2012 survey that rental rates in the province varied from $6.25 to $140.60 per acre, averaging $35.65. Statistics Canada’s most recent agriculture census found that slightly less than 40 percent of Canadian farmland was rented. A recent report about farmland values published by real estate com-

pany Remax indicated that farmland purchase prices have grown more moderately in the last year following several years of rapid gains due to high commodity prices. Hot spots remain in the country, most notably in Alberta, but farmland markets were forecast to stabilize in the future, at least partly because of weaker commodity markets. In some cases, regions reported a drop in sales volumes this year. “We’re so reliant on commodity prices; that controls everything,” said Wally Lorenz, a Remax agent in the North Battleford, Sask., area, which reported slower farmland sales over the last year. “It controls the value of land. It controls the rental rates that are out there.” He also said his market, which at one time had seen some parcels rent for as high as $80 to $100 per acre, is now seeing lower rates. “That in turn controls investors that come in and what they’re going to do with buying land because investors (aren’t) as prevalent now as they were a few years ago because they could get high rental rates.” Several American reports point to a slowdown in farmland value growth. In the United States, farmland prices in Iowa were down 3.4 percent in recent months, according to a U.S. realtor survey released last month. A report released earlier in the year also showed cash rents in the state had dropped about four percent. Klemmer said the U.S. is a harbinger for what happens in Canada. “Similar to the United States, we’re seeing downward pressure on margins in Canada and Western Canada, too,” he said. “We’re operating in the same operating environment as the United States.”

aking advantage of capital gains deductions associated with the selling of qualified farm property might be an appealing way for farmers to reduce their tax bills on such sales. However, the calculations surrounding these deductions are so complicated and detailed that farmers might get a lot less than they bargained for, including reduced benefit from their $800,000 enhanced capital gains exemption (CGE). At the heart of the problem is something called cumulative net investment losses (CNILs). These little and sometimes not so little items work to drive down capital gains exemptions. CNILs are largely forgotten until it is time to file a capital gains exemption claim. Something as simple as continually claiming interest expense as a deduction on investment income is cumulatively subtracted from a CGE claim. Allowable business investment

Learn how cumulative net investment losses will affect your capital gains deduction before selling property losses also grind down the CGE claimed in past years. Part of the problem is that interest and carrying charges are deductible for income tax purposes, but such deductions become a problem when calculating capital gains exemptions. Net investment losses have been calculated on a cumulative basis since 1988. A loss occurs if the aggregate of investment expenses is greater than the aggregate of investment income, but what happens if the cumulative total of some of those expenses must now be absorbed when claiming a capital gains deduction on the sale of qualified farm property? The result is that your CGE takes a hit. Some of those investment expenses include deductions for the cumulative total of interest and carrying charges on property that yields interest, rent or other property income and losses either from the property itself or leasing of property owned by you or by a partnership in which you are involved. Options exist that can minimize the impact of a CNIL. • As a shareholder, you might charge interest on shareholder loans to corporations as a means of offsetting investment losses.

• You can also reduce your CNIL exposure if, as a shareholdermanager, you take your income in dividends instead of salary. • Deferring interest payments to the following year will have a similar effect. A sole proprietor or active member in a partnership has another option. The interest on a loan is not considered part of the CNIL if investments are financed by taking distributions from the partnership and then replacing the distribution with borrowed money. Did I say all of this is complicated? The ability to maximize the lifetime exemption is also limited by the cumulative gains limit. It is a measure of the taxable portion of a farmer’s net economic gain since 1985 that is eligible for exemption. However, it is eligible only after deducting previous gains claimed for exemption and the application of CNIL rules from 1988 onward. I strongly suggest seeking advice on how CNIL will affect your capital gains deduction before selling the property in question.
