Alta. bumper barley crops a surprise BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Two weeks ago, Kyle Sinclair was telling Alberta farmers that storing barley might be a good marketing strategy. After all, many would have lots of bin space and the Alberta crop was going to be small, providing hopes for a post-harvest rally. Then farmers started harvesting. “We started to get calls from guys who hadn’t thought they had a problem with bin space, now thinking all of a sudden that they did,” said Sinclair, an analyst with CorNine Commodities of Lacombe. The problem for the market, Sinclair thinks, is that lots of farmers seem to have bigger than expected barley crops. “It’s a bit of a surprise.” Jim Beusekom of Market Place Commodities of Lethbridge said he’s hearing the same thing.

Farmers underestimated yields after a tough year

BY MARY MACARTHUR

Alberta farmers worried about proposals to eliminate agriculture’s exemption to occupational health and safety regulations want to work with government to try and get rules they can work with. “We want to get involved early in the process so farmers needs are represented, so it is specifically tailored to agriculture,” said Lee Markert, chair of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission. He made the comments after the Alber ta Wheat Commission, Alberta Barley, the Alberta Canola Producers Commission and the Alberta Pulse Growers Commission announced they would participate in expected occupational health and safety consultations. Agriculture minister Oneil Carlier and jobs, skills, training and labour minister Lori Sigurdson have said they want to remove agriculture’s exemption from the province’s Occupational Health and Safety Act. “I am very pleased that they are eager because absolutely we care very much what the people in those groups and the farm and ranch sector believe,” said Sigurdson. R e p re s e nt at i v e s f ro m f a r m groups met with Carlier and Sigurdson at the end of June to discuss new farm safety and employment rules. Alberta is the only province to have an agricultural exemption, and the NDP government is committed to lifting it.

Variable growth vexes Sask. durum crop Drought and then late season rain will complicate harvest plans as late flush of second growth makes a mess of fields BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The phrase “green is the colour” has taken on a new meaning in some parts of Saskatchewan this year. Normally used by Saskatchewan Roughrider football fans, the phrase is being used this year to describe durum crops across much of the province’s southwest. From Moose Jaw to Kindersley and most points south, producers are looking at durum fields with a late flush of dense, green second growth. “There’s definitely a lot of variability out there when it comes to crop staging,” said Jeremy German, lead agronomist with G-Mac’s Ag Team Inc. at Kindersley, Sask. “They say a half inch of rain after seeding makes everybody a perfect farmer, but in a lot of cases, we didn’t get a decent rain until the last week in July, nearly 60 days after seeding was completed.” Durum growers across much of southwestern Saskatchewan will be harvesting durum with two, three and sometimes four different stages of plant growth in the same field. Extremely dry seeding conditions in late April and May were followed by drought conditions throughout June and most of July. Germination was poor in many fields and plant stands were extremely thin. Many fields produced a vigorous flush of second growth when rain finally arrived in late July and early August. “There’s some fields where we’ve seen 30 percent of the crop coming up (in the first flush) and as much as 70 percent coming up later,” German said. “In some fields, the late stuff looks fantastic … but it’s still very green and now we’re racing against Mother Nature to beat that first killing frost.” For a good part of southwestern Saskatchewan, the first killing frost does not occur on average until the second or third week in September. In the Kindersley area, the long-

This field appears in fine shape from the air, but some producers are struggling with uneven maturity in their durum crops. | term average for the first killing frost is between Sept. 22 and Sept. 24. However, fields that produced a second flush of durum in late July are unlikely to reach maturity until well into October. “We usually call durum a 108-day crop in southwest Saskatchewan,” German said. “It’s pretty unlikely likely that those (late) fields will reach maturity before the first frost.” German’s advises growers to assess fields and determine what percentage of yield potential is comprised in advanced or mature plants, as opposed to late or immature plants, and make harvest management decisions based on those assessments.

For producers whose fields contain 70 percent second growth and 30 percent mature plants, the potential rewards of waiting on the second flush to come in is relatively high. But for growers whose fields contain 70 percent of potential yield in early emerging or mature plants, the potential benefits of waiting to harvest are relatively low. In either case, the decision to wait can carry a significant financial risk. If the weather doesn’t co-operate, growers who are already expecting reduced yields could find themselves harvesting that small crop with poor quality. “The biggest risk is losing grade,”

said German. “The longer you leave that crop in the field, the greater your susceptibility to bleaching … sprouting and some of the fungal seed diseases such as smudges and black points.” According to the Canadian Grain Commission, a lot of the early durum that has been harvested in southwestern Saskatchewan has been making top grades. Growers who abandoned the notion of harvesting late material were rewarded with a small but high quality harvest. German said many producers have opted to minimize risk by applying a pre-harvest chemical. In addition to drying down the crop, pre-harvest applications will

also deliver the added benefit of controlling late emerging weeds, which are common in many cereal fields this year. Swathing is another option. Before applying desiccants, producers should ensure that the p ro d u c t s t h e y a re u s i n g a re approved for use as a pre-harvest aid in Canada. Growers should also inquire about maximum residue limits to ensure they have been established for the products they are using. In some cases, MRLs have not been established for products that have been approved for use as a pre-harvest aid. brian.cross@producer.com

FLAX

U.S. firm claims success with non-GM herbicide tolerant flax Flax Council of Canada had backed out of project after initial collaboration, but is now interested in it again BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Flax growers could be planting herbicide tolerant varieties by the end of this decade, according to a company developing the product. “We have plants growing that are surviving glyphosate in our greenhouse currently,” said Dave Voss, vice-president of commercial development with Cibus. The company’s non-genetically modified herbicide tolerant flax project was originally funded in part by the Flax Council of Canada. The council announced in 2010 it

would pay Cibus $5.5 million to develop the trait with up to $4 million of that coming from the federal government. The goal was to commercialize the trait this year. Growers have long wanted a nonGM herbicide tolerant flax, which the council believes could boost yields by 15 to 20 percent. However, council president Don Kerr announced in December 2014 that the organization was pulling funding after spending $2.86 million on the project because it failed to meet “certain technical thresholds.” “We were at a point where it was

either fish or cut bait. We had to do it,” Kerr told the Agri-Trend 2014 Farm Forum Event. Voss has a different take on what happened. He said the federal government cut back on the grants it was providing to the council. Cibus was undeterred and carried forward with its project to develop herbicide tolerant flax using its patented targeted mutagenesis technology. “The project is looking great and we’re very pleased with it,” he said. Limited field testing is planned for next year. Cibus intends to submit the trait for

Canadian regulatory approval and enter the variety registration system once enough seed is available. Herbicide tolerant flax is on schedule to be launched in the United States in 2019 and Canada one year later. “We’ve been in conversations with several companies and they want to market it, but we have not signed an agreement yet,” said Voss. Cibus is also negotiating with herbicide manufacturers about becoming a partner in the project. Kerr said the council has been in contact with Cibus and has tenta-

tively arranged to visit the company’s offices in San Diego. He said the council will use the visit to discuss a “further action plan” with Cibus. Cibus has commercialized its sulfonylurea canola in the U.S. and hopes to launch the product in Canada in 2017. The company is also developing herbicide tolerant rice and contemplating using its technology in other cereal crops. “We have aspirations to work in wheat and barley,” said Voss. sean.pratt@producer.com

FARM GROUPS TO CONSULT ON ALTA. SAFETY REGULATIONS » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “We believe it’s very important for every worker in Alberta, regardless of their workplace, to go and be safe. We are wanting to make sure that is so,” Sigurdson said. Markert said farmers assume the worst when they hear that farm regulations are changing and worry regulations suitable for office workers will apply to farms. “I think it’s important that the ministry is very aware this is a situation that is very different from oil and gas and from any other industry in Alberta,” he said. “As a result of that, it is going to be more custom fit to farmers in Alberta.” He said he wants the new regulations to take into account the busy times on the farm, such as spring and fall. “There are still a lot of farmers who will feel it is something that will be … very disruptive and cumbersome and bureaucratic,” he said. Sigurdson said the government would strive to find a solution that protects both farmers and workers in their unique situations. “There are some absolute unique things in the farm and ranch sector like overtime hours that need to be looked at differently because at harvest and seeding, people are working long hours,” she said. “There are very specific things we need to take into consideration as we move forward to make sure these workers are protected.” Mike Ammeter, chair of Alberta Barley, agreed that farmers must be involved in the review process.

“When it comes to discussing farm safety, I think nobody knows my farm better than myself,” he said. “I can speak with the most knowledge regarding my farm.” The four grain commissions can have a powerful voice by joining forces, he said. Markert said exempting Alberta farmers from occupational health and safety rules could jeopardize Canada’s position in international trade agreements,. “When it comes to the aspect of social licence and social responsibility, this is something we have to be on top of if we are going to keep these markets open around the world.” Farmers, farmer organizations and the former Progressive Conservative government previously opposed Alberta farmer inclusion in health and safety citing increased costs. “I think producers will ultimately be concerned about the cost initially, but I don’t think that is what it is really about. It is about education and ability to provide a better work environment for Alberta farmers and Alberta farm families,” said Markert. “Maybe we have just had time to think about it and maybe it is not going to be quite as onerous as we originally had expected. Ultimately it will prove to be beneficial.” Sigurdson said updated farm worker safety legislation is a priority for the government and expected new legislation to be introduced in the fall session of the legislature. mary.macarthur@producer.com

BUMPER BARLEY CROPS » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“It certainly seems like it’s better than what most people thought it would be,” said Beusekom. “I’m not hearing too many people being disappointed.” While neither Sinclair nor Beusekom expects the western barley crop to be spectacular, coming in average will clash with expectations that many Alberta and western Saskatchewan crops would be stunted and low-yielding. Instead, many crops from the dry areas actually appear OK. “Guys were thinking the good areas would be average and the bad areas would be a roll of the dice,” said Sinclair. “Now guys are getting into it and the bad areas look average and the good areas look excellent.” Some crops are yielding more than 100 bushels per acre. That has Sinclair suggesting farmers now do some pricing of feed barley, since the hopes for a postharvest rally are fading. Today’s Calgary delivered prices of $205$210 per tonne might not be the harvest pressure low of the season. “You could be trying to get this price that you’re seeing now throughout the winter,” said Sinclair. Beusekom said he’s more hopeful of a small price rise after harvest, but with bigger crops out there it

might be only a $10 to $15 rally. The factor to watch now is the U.S. corn crop, which sets the bedrock for North American feedgrain prices, Beusekom said. Also, the condition of malting barley varieties and wheat values will affect feed barley values. Right now malt barley buyers seem to be hungry for supplies, so farmers aren’t dumping those crops into the feed market. And wheat quality in the western Prairies seems good, so some of the feed-type varieties might end up in the export market. However, weak overall wheat values are dragging much borderline wheat back into the feedgrains market, so there might be more pressure from there, Sinclair said. The problem for barley prices, Sinclair said, is that today’s prices could become the market’s new resistance levels if a bigger crop comes in. Instead of barley bottoming at $200 and then bouncing, that $200$210 level could become the top of the market, and the bottom at $175. “If it corrects below ($200), the floor (today) becomes the new ceiling,” said Sinclair. “It’ll be a bit of a shock because people were expecting it to stay above this level.” ed.white@producer.com

Hot dry weather across the Prairies has created ideal conditions for the poisonous plant jimsonweed to thrive, said Saskatchewan’s weed specialist. Jimsonweed, or devil’s trumpet, has been reported in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. “It’s ubiquitous across the Prairies,” said Clark Brenzil of Regina. “If you look hard enough, you will find it everywhere.” Farmers swathing canola or combining cereal crops started to notice the towering weed in their fields at the end of August. Brenzil believes a combination of hot weather, poor crops and deferred spraying created conditions for the weed to thrive. The warm-season weed needs soil temperatures of more than 20 C to germinate. Many in-crop herbicide treatments were completed before the weed seeds germinated and a second herbicide application may have been deferred because of the poor crop, which allowed the weed to further grow. “In most years it is not a problem. Generally it is a hot-condition-loving weed,” said Brenzil. The weed has been reported in wheat, barley and canola. Derrick Rozdeba, communications spokesperson for Bayer CropScience, said they are “stumped” by the discovery of the weed in canola fields. “Now it’s an investigation of

where this is coming from,” said Rozdeba, who encourages farmers to contact the company to help track down its origins. Jeanette Gaultier, pesticide use specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, said the weeds have been spotted in northwestern Manitoba, where it was also hot and dry. The weed was first believed to have originated in seed, but Gaultier now believes environmental conditions this year are ideal for the plant to thrive. “It could just be an environmental trigger,” said Gaultier. “It can take advantage of less competitive or late season crops,” she said. The problem could become an issue in corn and soybean crops, which are less competitive with weeds. Mark Millang, agricultural fieldman with Camrose County, had three plants chopped and bagged in the back of his truck. Two were found in fields and the third was an ornamental variety, related to the weed, but not the same species. He was on the way to confirm two more weed sightings. “We are doing as many field inspections as we can,” said Millang. Laurie Lehoux, administrator with the Rural Municipality of L o o n L a k e s a i d a re s i d e n t brought in a plant for identification that had been growing in their flowerbed. The plant had Lehoux stumped and she cut open the seedpod and tossed it in the garbage.

Then she learned what she had in her office. “Now I have to figure out what to do with it and not make a bigger mess,” she said. Lehoux doesn’t know if the plant is the weed, Datura stramonium, or the ornamental plant, Datura inoxia. “They didn’t purposefully put it in their flower bed, which makes me think it’s the weed,” she said. Both the ornamental and weed are highly poisonous, said Brenzil. Each year, there are reports of teenagers sent to hospital after ingesting parts of the plants, hoping for a hallucinogenic high. The seeds contain the same atropine compound as insecticides, which shut down the nervous system. Brenzil said seed growers should be concerned about finding the weed in their crop and should pull the plant before it goes to seed. “I think it is a concern if it is contaminated in grain.” The seed is slightly bigger than canola and can be cleaned with the right sieve. R o by n G e r ra rd , b u s i n e s s agronomist with Parkland Fertilizer in Wetaskiwin, said one of their clients found a few plants on the edge of the canola field and pulled it out. “She got pretty sick and was sent to the hospital with anaphylaxis shock,” said Gerrard. “It’s quite dangerous.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

Potatoes latest recruit in fight against cancer BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It’s a fantastic tongue twister and a compelling endorsement of colourful food: purple potatoes pack powerful cancer prevention punch. Experiments conducted at Penn State University have shown that baked purple potatoes suppress the development of colon cancer tumours in petri dishes and in mice. The results demonstrated that chemicals in the potatoes target cancer stem cells. Aram Vanamala, an associate professor of food sciences at Penn State, said attacking cancer stem cells is critical in disease prevention. “You might want to compare cancer stem cells to roots of the weeds,” Vanamala said. “You may cut the weed, but as long as the roots are still there, the weeds will keep growing back and, likewise, if the cancer stem cells are still present, the cancer can still grow and spread.” The Penn State scientists said a number of substances in purple potatoes, including anthocyacins and cholorogenic acid, suppress colon cancer stem cells. The researchers said baked purple potatoes could potentially be used in general cancer prevention and help patients in remission remain free of cancer. Based on the mouse studies, humans would have to eat one large purple potato per day to get the necessary dose of beneficial compounds. The scientists plan to test purple potatoes on other forms of cancer and evaluate its ability to prevent cancer in human trials. robert.arnason@producer.com

LAND USE

Grazing land wasted in oil company offsets: ranchers Oil companies are buying land to revert it to natural state and offset damage they have done in other parts of the province BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Alberta ranchers in the Fawcett and Flatbush area are angry that oil money is being used to buy pastureland that is sitting idle while they scramble to find other land to graze their animals. Shell and Suncor have bought 15 quarters of land in the area through the Alberta Conservation Association as part of a program designed to offset damage the companies have done to wildlife and biodiversity in other parts of the province. “The pasture is sitting idle and slowly it will grow back to trees,” said Fred vandeLigt, who tried to buy a quarter section he had originally been renting from a neighbour. “They’re paying top dollar. It’s like an oil company going into a little town and buying all the houses.”

VandeLigt originally bid $180,000 for the quarter near Flatbush, the top value he believed it was worth. The land was assessed and sold to the Alberta Conservation Association for $199,000. In a year in which grazing is scarce because of drought, vandeLigt believes the land should be grazed. He started feeding yearlings July 20. Ted Ford of Jarvie doesn’t object to the price paid for the land, but doesn’t think good grazing land should be left to sit idle. “The issue to me is, they are taking land out of production that is very good land,” said Ford, who ranches in the area. “They say they don’t pay over the appraised value. They may only pay the appraised value, but it is more than most people in the area would pay for land.… It is not prime land, but it is good land. If nothing hap-

pens it will slowly revert to trees.” Letting it revert to trees and sloughs is exactly what is going to happen to the 15 quarters of land in the area, said Todd Zimmerling, president of the Alberta Conservation Association. Over the past decade, the association has bought land in the area on behalf of Suncor and Shell as part of the company’s terrestrial conservation offsets. Unlike carbon offsets for emissions made elsewhere, terrestrial conservation offsets are designed to offset the impacts to wildlife and plants that have occurred somewhere else. Most of the property that the conservation association bought in the Fawcett and Flatbush area was bought with money from Shell. “As part of one of their developments in the Fort McMurray area,

they agreed they would offset the terrestrial impacts by purchasing land they can restore across the boreal forest,” said Zimmerling. Working with other conservation groups, the association will replant the land to trees, native grasses and shrubs or install ditch plugs to restore wetlands. “Part of the management plan was to restore wetland and forested land on some of those properties,” Zimmerling said. “That is the reason it has changed from having grazing regime to no grazing regime. The plan is to restore it to native habitat instead.” Shell is in the ninth year of a 10-year agreement to donate $200,000 a year to the association to buy land for offsets specifically in the Athabasca River drainage area. Next year is expected to be the last year that land will be bought with

the help of Shell in the Flatbush and Fawcett area. Suncor has also donated money to the association for the last decade to buy terrestrial conservation credits. Last year it donated $600,000 for land purchases, especially treed and forested properties. “In the case of Suncor, the properties we look for are forested properties,” ” said Zimmerling. “The more trees on the property the better to try to maintain the forest cover. In some cases, if it is not completely forested, we will reforest them,” said Zimmerling. The Alberta Conservation Association has title to 122 parcels of land across the province, which it owns in whole or in part. It also manages about 200,000 acres of crown land. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Pulse exports on pace for banner year Commodity experts predict huge volumes of lentils and peas to be shipped as India ramps up for ‘monstrous’ imports BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Expect another “monstrous” pulse export program during the first half of 2015-16, say industry analysts. “It’s going to be huge,” said Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research. Exports are on pace with last year’s record-setting program and he doesn’t see any let up for pea or lentil demand in the near future. “That has kept any seasonal pressure from affecting pea and lentil prices at all,” he said. Jon Driedger, analyst with FarmLink Marketing Solutions, said there is tremendous buying interest from India. “We feel confident that we’re going to see big, big volumes of lentils and peas get shipped out in the first few months of this year,” he said. “How resilient prices have been even once the combines have been rolling is a testament to the buying interest that has been underneath this pulse market.” The Indian Pulses and Grains Association says private traders have signed contracts for over one million tonnes of pulses for delivery over the next three months, according to an article in the Business Standard. That includes 400,000 tonnes of chickpeas and caspa peas from Australia and 600,000 tonnes of yellow peas from Canada, Russia and France. The article states that if that sales pace is sustained, India will import five million tonnes of pulses in 2015-16, up from 3.7 million tonnes in each of the previous two years. Penner said having one million tonnes of sales on the books by this time is a “monstrous” early season import program but he wonders if there is enough exportable supply of pulses to meet the five million tonne estimate given the disappointing Canadian crop.

Analysts expect the big demand for peas and lentils to continue for the near future. | “(Indian importers) are desperately trying to get any kind of peas and lentils they can as soon as possible,” he said. It may help that Statistics Canada found more peas and lentils in the system. It estimates there was 429,000 tonnes of pea stocks as of July 31, well above trade estimates of

100,000 to 200,000 tonnes. Year-ending lentil stocks were estimated at 365,000 tonnes, again well above trade estimates of 50,000 to 100,000 tonnes. Stocks were much higher than anticipated due to revisions to production numbers and usage estimates from previous years. “The size of those adjustments

isn’t enough to really sway the market,” said Penner. Prices tell the real story about supply with red lentil bids at 38 cents per pound and large greens fetching 47 cents per pound last week. “Clearly there is no heaviness of supplies,” he said. Driedger is highly skeptical of the StatsCan estimates. He believes

stocks for both crops are well under 100,000 tonnes. Saskatchewan farmers had combined 72 percent of their lentils and 85 percent of their peas as of August 31. That facilitates a brisk sales program, said Penner. “Peas and lentils get into the system faster than the wheat and the canola, so you have a bit of a window there where you can push a lot of stuff,” he said. There may also be less competition for rail capacity due to slumping Chinese commodity demand and a slowdown in the Canadian economy. India’s kharif or summer crop is off to a poor start because monsoon rainfall was 12 percent below normal as of Sept. 3. The pigeon pea crop is in particularly rough shape. “It looks like it is in real trouble. Acres are down from average and it looks like now the yields will be lower as well,” said Penner. “What that does is it starts to lift the whole tide of pulse prices in India.” Green lentils are a substitute for pigeon peas. How much pulses India imports in the second half of 2015-16 will depend on its winter or rabi crop, which is planted in November and December. Penner said the disappointing 2015 monsoon doesn’t bode well for soil moisture for rabi production but it is possible that timely rains at seeding could boost the fortunes of the rabi crop. His advice to growers is to avoid getting too bullish and to sell at least some of their crop at today’s high prices. “You don’t need to panic but don’t sit on your hands entirely and do nothing.” Driedger also advises growers to take advantage of the strong earlyseason demand and high prices because they could be easing back once the initial orders are filled.

World bean crops not meeting expectations

Analyst forecasts falling canola prices

Prices not expected to rise, say experts BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Bean crops are struggling in some key production regions around the world but don’t expect rising prices, says an analyst. Stat Publishing reported from the China Pulse Import and Export Industry Conference that there will likely be a 20 percent reduction in Chinese bean acres and an even bigger decline in production due to drought in the main growing area. David Streit, agricultural meteorologist with Commodity Weather Group, said it has also been dry in Mexico and Central America due to a strengthening El Nino event. China and Mexico are two of the world’s top-five bean producers. Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, thinks production problems in those two countries will not be enough to increase bean prices. China has become less of a player in bean export markets in recent years. “I don’t know that (the production cur tailment) is going to change the dry bean market all that much,” he said. Penner has been monitoring the progress of Mexico’s bean crop. He said declining acreage will be more of a factor than a lack of rainfall. Mexican growers reduced their summer crop plantings by about 10 percent compared to last year due to faltering prices. That is on top of a 30 percent reduction in winter crop production. Mexico grows pinto and black beans as well as a variety of specialty beans for the Mexican market. He forecasts production will be below the usual 1.2 million tonnes. However, a record crop in Argentina will offset any losses in Mexico. Penner is forecasting 600,000 tonnes of white and black beans, which is almost double the usual amount. The upshot is that Canadian growers should look to North American bean production for guidance on where prices are heading. “This year it’s going to be kind of steady and that’s really what’s going to set the tone, so I’m calling for the bean market to stay relatively flat,” he said. There might be some downside in black bean prices due to an increase in North American output and some upside in pinto prices due to a contraction in that class of beans but Penner doesn’t expect any dramatic fluctuations. sean.pratt@producer.com

Carryout stocks will grow as global prices for canola are expected to continue to fall BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG

China and Statistics Canada have given canola a stiff slap to the face, shocking everyone’s assumption that the market would meekly suck up whatever Canadian farmers could produce this year. “We’re going to have a burdensome carryout next year, which will be a shock to the farmer and probably the industr y,” said Errol Anderson of Pro Market. “Nobody was expecting that.” That raises the question of how low canola prices can go now, with important support levels recently breached and little reason to think that prices should soon rise. “It’s the timing, in terms of the psychology and the momentum,” said Greg Kostal of Kostal Ag Consulting, about the negative impact of the Statistics Canada finding that Canada’s canola stocks are much higher than expected. “It just feeds the negativity we’ve been concerned about, justifying the lower markets.” Statistics Canada found that rather than the 1.4 million tonnes o f c a n o l a a na l y s t s g e n e ra l l y expected to be in store at the end of July, there is likely to have been 2.3 million. That’s a massive difference because the trade was assuming the industry was operating with razor-thin stockpiles, but now it appears stocks have been comfortable. And with a big crop coming in most areas, canola stocks should be ample for next year. That is the opposite of what many expected just six weeks ago when the general expectation was for another year of too-tight stocks. “In mid-July it looked like we were going to have no stocks and buyers would be scrambling, but now we’re talking about a three million tonne carr yout,” said Anderson. After the Statistics Canada number came out, canola futures fell

beneath some key support levels and tested the $455 per tonne support level. If that level doesn’t hold in coming weeks some expect canola to bottom well beneath, perhaps at $440. The negativity that explains the quick drop beneath $470 is easy to sum up: “If last year’s crop could be that much larger, why couldn’t this year’s crop be much bigger than expected too,” said Kostal. Canola’s fall from favour with investors is occurring simultaneously with general market fear and bearishness coming from China’s economic slowing and financial markets selloff. Not only does that indirectly hit markets and cause investors to sell assets such as

canola futures, but China is a massive market for Canadian canola and now many are wondering if China’s hunger for Canadian canola will subside. Most analysts feel that food demand is stronger than demand for other commodities, so its actual canola consumption probably won’t fall much. “I’m not sure how much of the troubles we’re seeing are affecting Chinese consumers,” said Brian Voth of Agri-Trend. “That’s the level where it affects canola.” But Voth said part of China’s slowing is its decision to intervene less in domestic price supports for farmers, which could reduce Chi-

na’s canola demand. “Those are much more likely to have an effect on our agricultural commodities,” said Voth. Neil Townsend of G3 agreed. “The way the Chinese government has been altering the way it supports farmers could have an impact,” said Townsend. But there are few obvious triggers that could cause canola futures to break out of its bear market, other than in short term corrections. “Is this the low of canola?” pondered Anderson. “Probably not.” ed.white@producer.com

TRANSPORTATION

Grain shipments moving as expected BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The 2015-16 crop year appears to be off to a smooth start, at least when it comes to grain transportation. Grain deliveries to country elevators and export terminals are flowing smoothly, according to industry sources that monitor grain transportation. Vessel lineups at Vancouver decreased in late August and empty car order fulfillment by Canada’s major railways continues to meet demand to western ports, according to the Grain Monitoring Program. “So far this crop year, everything is moving really well and they’re keeping a pretty good, low inventory of

product out at the coast,” said Quorum Corp president Mark Hemmes, whose company runs the program. “Right now, we don’t see any signs that it’s going to be a difficult year.” In its weekly performance summary dated Sept. 1, the monitoring program said space at country elevators is good, producer deliveries have been steady and available space at west coast terminals is in a comfortable range. “Deliveries in the country so far have been actually really good,” Hemmes said. “We’re anywhere between 800,000 and 900,000 per week and grain companies, for the most part, are all getting the cars that they need. There have been some hiccups here and

there but so far, so good.” Many growers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are anticipating above average yields, while growers in Alberta are expecting a small drought-impaired harvest. From a shipping perspective, it means more grain that is shipped to Vancouver en route to Asian markets is likely to be sourced from the eastern Prairies. “For west coast movements, there’s probably going to be a longer length of haul,” said Hemmes. “That’s one of the things that we’re going to be watching closely is to see how this distribution pattern will impact shipping.” brian.cross@producer.com

HARVEST

Straight-cut canola becomes more common Benefits include time efficiency and higher yields, but not all varieties are well suited to the practice BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

More farmers are straight cutting their canola, according to a survey commissioned by BASF. Nineteen percent of the 400 surveyed growers straight cut some of their canola last year, up from 12 percent in 2013. Danielle Eastman, western herbicide brand manager with BASF, estimated three million acres, or 16 percent, of the canola crop will be straight cut this year. She believes half of the crop will be harvested that way by 2020 as more pod shatter resistant varieties hit the market. “There is a significant amount of growers that are really interested in straight cutting,” she said. According to the survey, which was conducted by FarmShift, twothirds of growers are interested in straight cutting their crop and 82 percent of those who have adopted the practice intend to expand the number of acres they straight cut. Eastman said there are a number of benefits associated with the practice, but the biggest is saving time. “Growers are becoming larger and looking for efficiencies at this busy time of year, and swathing is a really slow harvest management practice,” she said. Another benefit is higher yields because the crop is standing in the field longer than if it was swathed. “Growers will tell you that they’re noticing the kernels are larger and they are getting more bushels per acre,” said Eastman. She said straight cutting is a good option for growers in a year like this when some farmers are faced with thin crops. “We have been hearing that a lot of guys with these uneven fields and thin stands that they’re seeing this year are trying straight cutting canola because they see it as a way to even out the field,” she said. The Canola Council of Canada was contacted to provide its per-

Scenes like this might become less common in the future as more farmers opt to straight cut their canola instead of swathing it. | spective on straight cutting but declined to comment. However, in the Aug. 26 edition of its CanolaWatch publication, the council said there are a number of instances when swathing is the better choice: • Heavily lodged canola may not dry down enough for straight combining. • Some varieties are not well suited to the practice.

• It is not the best choice for late, uneven, weedy or heavily diseased crops. • Swathing is the better option if there is going to be hail, snow, heavy rain, wind or frost at harvest. • It is also a better choice for farmers who have older, low horsepower combines because straight cut canola does not dry down as much as swathed

canola, and green material requires higher horsepower to harvest. BASF sells Heat LQ, a pre-harvest treatment that when tank mixed with glyphosate helps dry down canola so that it can be straight cut. “The glyphosate helps the Heat really get into the plant and provide that systemic activity to dry down not just the pods but the stocks themselves,” Eastman said.

FILE PHOTO

The combination of the two active ingredients provides growers with perennial weed control and a way to control “gap weeds” that can’t be killed by glyphosate alone, such as Roundup Ready canola volunteers. Eastman estimates Heat was applied on 500,000 and one million acres of canola this fall. sean.pratt@producer.com

GRAIN MARKETING

Low-grading grain may be worth more to a specific buyer HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

t’s easy to listen to good advice. It’s hard to change lifelong behaviour to fit in with that advice, even if you accept it. That principle is on display right now with the discovery by many farmers that selling grain the old CWB way doesn’t necessarily work in the post-CWB world. Farmers who test their grain and

shop it around to many buyers are often discovering that low-grading grain, which is worth little as a bulk delivery to the local elevators, can be worth much more to other buyers. For the local elevator, the grain might just look like what the grade says it is. To a buyer wanting a specific set of specifications in the wheat or durum they buy, the grade doesn’t matter, but the specs do. Those are essentially different markets. This shouldn’t shock anyone, but it generally surprises people when they are faced with it for the first time. Part of the surprise comes with actually seeing the reality of something that the rational side of your mind believes exists, but that the emotional side has trou-

ble accepting. To find that the same grain can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars more to one buyer than another is hard to swallow, even if you understand why. But some of the shock comes from people not listening to advice. I wasn’t surprised last week when reporting on the massive spreads between grade-based and specsbased grain because I’ve been writing about that situation for three years. Analysts have been telling me since the end of the C WB monopoly that wheat is no longer just bulk wheat, but often now is valued based on specific qualities for which individual buyers will pay premiums. The grade marketing system, which was the basis of the CWB

days, still works with good quality wheat and durum. However, if a crop has minor downgrading features, basing the price on grade can overlook some of the crop’s true value. To unlock that value, a farmer has to go through the work and expense of getting each of his bins tested and then reaching out to multiple buyers to find which one, perhaps quite far away, sees it as a quality product rather than a discounted commodity. This shouldn’t surprise anyone because we’ve been reporting this situation for years. But for those who need to learn through loss, here’s a chance to learn a painful lesson that could make you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The farmer I described in my story last week believes his testing and s h o p p i n g a ro u n d m a d e h i m $500,000 more than he would have gotten if he had simply accepted the local elevator prices based on grade. And the adviser I quoted saw hundreds of her clients make lots of extra money from doing the same, but also said she saw hundreds lose out on those opportunities because they didn’t do that work. It’s hard to change long-term marketing behaviours to fit in with good advice, even if you accept that the advice is probably valid. But ask yourself this question: what could you do with a few hundred thousand extra dollars? ed.white@producer.com

CANFAX REPORT

French ministry puts soft wheat crop at 40.8 million tonnes

Fed steers prices were $1.88 lower than last week, at $179.48 per hundredweight. Fed heifer numbers were not available, said Canfax. Light trade was reported and bids eased over the course of the week. The weighted average steer price closed $1.75 lower and is the first time since December where prices have closed below $180 per cwt. The fact that some cattle have been carried over from week to week while others have intentionally been pushed back has led to increased marketing pressure.

PARIS, France (Reuters) — France gathered 40.8 million tonnes of soft wheat in this summer’s harvest, much more than the 39.3 million estimated last month that was already a record level, the farm ministry said last week. Harvest results confirmed wheat was little affected by heat wave and drought conditions at the start of summer and had retained strong yield potential, supported by favourable winter and spring weather, the ministry said in a report. There had already been agreement among traders and analysts that France, the European Union’s biggest wheat grower and exporter, produced its biggest-ever crop, but the farm ministry’s revised figure was above most market estimates ranging between 39 and 40 million tonnes. The new official estimate is nearly nine percent above last year’s production. The increased crop could add to the task for traders in marketing French wheat, after a slow start to the 2015-16 export season in view of ample supply across Europe. The ministry also raised its forecast for the grain corn harvest to 13.5 million tonnes from 13.2 million projected last month, although this would still be down 26.4 percent from a record 2014 crop following weather damage. “Drought and high temperatures in June and July penalized the development of (corn) crops, even

though rainfall in August has improved the situation,” the ministry said. Yields in the corn harvest would be extremely varied, with the yield for non-irrigated grain maize expected to be 13 percent below the average of the past five years, while the irrigated-yield corn would be four percent under the five-year mean, it said. Some grain corn badly affected by drought will be harvested as feed corn, while growers may also keep other grain corn for forage, it added. In its first forecast for this year’s sugar beet crop, the ministr y pegged production at 31.9 million tonnes, down 15.8 percent from last year. Sugar beet, like corn, suffered from summer heat and drought, adding to the impact of a reduced area after farmers planted less crops in response to high stocks from last year, the ministry said.

The forecast for the grain corn harvest climbed to 13.5 million tonnes , although this would still be down 26.4 percent from a record 2014 crop following weather damage.

CARCASS WEIGHTS Bigger cattle mean more beef in spite of smaller cattle numbers, and higher carcass weights have been a trend, said Canfax in its latest report. Fed cattle prices have been significantly higher than the marginal cost of adding extra weight, so larger animals are more profitable. Red hot feeder prices also prompted producers to feed cattle longer rather than gamble on the next set of feeders. U.S. steer carcass weights have broken records, averaging 905 pounds, which is 26 lb. more than last year and 51 lb. more than the 2008-12 average. Canadian carcass weights are also higher than last year but similar to 2013 weights. Current steer weights average 873 lb. compared to 845 lb. in 2014. Canadian steer carcass weights

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | SEPTEMBER 10, 2015

topped 900 lb. last month for the first time ever, hitting levels of 907 and 906 lb. in various weeks of August. In the last five years, carcass weights have increased 9.5 percent from their summer lows into the fall peak, or an average of 77 lb.

NON-FED CATTLE D1 and D2 cows traded from $135-$150, and averaged $140.88, up 95 cents from the previous week. D3 cows ranged from $118$139 to average $129.38. Rail grade animals ranged from $264 to $269. Slaughter bulls were up 49 cents to average $169.85. Domestic rail cow bids on load size lots trended sharply lower. Slaughter bull prices were fully steady. Western Canadian non-fed slaughter for the week ending Aug. 29 was over shadowed by the fed kill, down sharply to 3,670 head. Yearto-date non-fed western Canadian slaughter was down eight percent, totalling 186,728 head. Canadian non-fed exports to the U.S. for the week ending Aug. 22 eased modestly lower to 5,075 head and yearto-date totalled 174,896 head.

FEEDER CATTLE Feeder steer prices were up $1.71 and feeder heifers were down by 66 cents. Average prices were not provided for early September. Heavier feeders were generally stronger, while lighter feeders had

some lower prices, but this was mainly related to smaller lot sizes and quality issues. Producers continue to be actively forward selling calves and feeders given the strong prices and basis levels. Of the 26,700 head sold at auction, almost half sold through electronic sales. Calves have yet to hit auction marts, with cow and feeder volumes moderate. Heavier calves for September delivery continue to see a premium relative to deferred delivery, as they sell into a stronger fed marketing window. Feeder exports have been 4,300 head versus 7,400 last year, but since July 1 feeder exports have been 6,000 head higher. U.S. and eastern Canadian buyers were active in the market. Cow-calf pairs traded at $2,500 to $3,700.

CRAIG’S VIEW

ELECTION 2015

If issues aren’t discussed during election, then when?

his federal election, like many before it, has had scant discussion of agriculture despite it being responsible for seven percent of the country’s gross domestic product. It has become a fact of life that most of us have come to accept. We might feel disrespected over the slight, but somebody figured out a long time ago that agricultural issues don’t move votes. Even those of us who live and work in agriculture often cast our votes on other issues — for the leader, party or member of Parliament — rather than agricultural policy. Maybe that’s something we all should think about more before we head to the polls Oct. 19. Life is about relationships, experiences, interests and principles, and it is upon these general beliefs that we rightly cast our vote, usually for the leader or candidate who most closely matches our world and backyard views. However, that shouldn’t mean agriculture can’t be part of this. The difficulty lies in trying to discern what each party stands for. It is easy to get lost in the political spins, the negative ads, the scripted political events and the constant reporting about the horse race (who is in front rather than serious discussions about key issues), which makes it nearly impossible to come up with a clear picture of who stands for what. Agriculture has many hot button issues that could be addressed by the four major parties. To varying degrees, some parties have waded in on some issues, but usually only in general, broad ways. So the next time you’re at a political event, or a local candidate appears at

your door, ask him respectfully for a clear response to several key ag questions: • Everybody speaks in favour of supply management, but come crunch time at international trade talks, is it on the negotiating table? The repercussions of this question should matter to you whether you make your living in supply management or one of the export oriented sectors of farming. Whichever action the next government takes will affect your bottom line. • What will we do about the problems with rail transportation? Aging hopper cars need to be replaced, the railway costing review is due, service contracts between shippers and railways may be mandated and the railways want to do away with the revenue cap. • Where do they stand on the use of glyphosate? Public pressure is mounting to restrict its use? What about neonicotinoids? • What is their position on GMO labelling? What about the use of GMO seed? • Where does each party rank on the trading scale, from full speed ahead working for as many trade deals as possible to a go slower, more cloistered approach? • What is the plan for helping farmers during downturns? Many fear that past cuts will cause farm programs to fall short when the economy falters. There are certainly other issues facing agriculture at present, and a federal election should provide the perfect opportunity to press for answers.

FARM SAFETY

Grain engulfments are increasing in frequency right across North America and part of that is due to the fact that the size of grain storage facilities are increasing and most producers don’t recognize the hazards associated with moving grain.

Syrian tragedy may be turning point in election campaign CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

here are turning points in any campaign and they are often unexpected. Take the series of heart-wrenching pictures showing a three-yearold Syrian boy named Alan Kurdi in a red T-shirt and blue shorts lying dead in the sand on a beach in Turkey. His five-year-old brother, Galid, his mother, Reha, and eight other migrants met the same fate after the boat carrying them across the Mediterranean sea capsized. Only Alan’s father, Abdullah, survived. Finally there was a human face to

a crisis that has been going on for years, as millions of Syrians and Iraqis flee the chaos of their home countries. The world was stunned. Canada even more so after reports emerged the young family had been trying to get to Canada. Alan Kurdi’s aunt, Tima, lives in British Columbia. She had been trying to sponsor her other brother, Mohammad, and his family via a private refugee application. That application was denied in June because of incomplete documentations. The hope was to eventually bring Abdullah’s family to Canada, too. All of a sudden the refugee crisis in Europe had a Canadian connection and the Canadian government’s humanitarian response was under fire. The Conservative campaign went into bunker mode. Immigration minister Chris Alexander, who 12 hours before had blamed the national media for the government’s lacklustre response to the

crisis, suspended his campaign and returned to Ottawa to be briefed by officials. Former immigration minister turned defence minister Jason Kenney cancelled an immigrationrelated announcement. Prime minister Stephen Harper cancelled a planned event and delayed another to speak about the photo and its Canadian connection. With a lump in his throat, he told reporters the photo had struck a chord with him and his wife, Laureen, who reminisced about their own son, Ben, when he was that age. The prime minister defended Canada’s record, which includes a commitment to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees this year and another 10,000 over the next three years. The prime minister also reiterated his commitment to the mission against ISIS. Less than 2,500 Syrian refugees have actually arrived in Canada. So, what does this global news

story have to do with agriculture? On the surface there doesn’t seem to be much of a connection other than the Canadian Foodgrains Bank announcing it will start collection donations to help Syrian refugees. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank, which aims to eliminate world hunger by working with farmers in Canada and abroad, said Sept. 3 that its members are planning more projects to help those affected by the conflict. However, there is now the potential for a conversation about who has been allowed to come to Canada. Politicians are unlikely to break out into a heated debate about the reforms made to the Temporary Foreign Workers Program, but the impact those changes have had on Canadian farms and agribusinesses has been significant. There has also been a notable shift in policy, favouring highly skilled individuals to the detriment of refugees and low-skilled immigrants.

Programs like Express Entry do nothing for sectors like agriculture looking to bring in labourers and farm workers. Just ask the mushroom sector or the meat packing plants. A new report, titled Never Home: Legislating Discrimination in Canadian Immigration, released Sept. 2, found Canada’s immigration policy favours temporary workers over permanent residents. Ke n n e y h a s d i s m i s s e d t h e report’s findings as “complete rubbish.” Canada’s agriculture sector might disagree. There are no existing federal pathways to permanent residency for low-skilled temporary foreign workers. Processing delays are rampant, while changes to the TF WP have resulted in chronic labour shortages across the industry, an issue farmers want raised in the campaign.

Food labels give consumers final say

WP is there as election heats up

BY SAYARA THURSTON

n Canada, consumers and producers are used to terms like cage-free eggs, pasture-raised cattle, and other positive welfare attributes adorning products on grocery store shelves. These labels have appeared on egg cartons and other products for decades, aimed at conscious consumers who want to ensure animals have the chance to move. Globally, methods of production labels have expanded over the years to include the whole spectrum of welfare. And for good reason: labelling animal products with their production method, which includes telling consumers when animals have been kept in cages, has proven positive outcomes for animals, consumers and producers. For more than a decade, the European Union has mandated that eggs bear labels reflecting how birds were treated — marked as either cage, barn, free-range or organic. In the United Kingdom, total cage-free production has increased 20 percent since these labels took effect. And a year after some Australian areas introduced mandatory cage egg labels, several retailers reported cage-free egg sale increases of up to 90 percent. When a major Canadian grocer started voluntarily labelling all eggs by method of production — including cage eggs — there was predictably a boost in cage-free sales, but egg sales as a whole did not decrease. This indicates that labels give

MICHELLE HOULDEN ILLUSTRATION

consumers the power to vote with their wallets and they are voting for positive change for animals. All the evidence suggests that producers should be championing method of production labelling. These labels help producers better understand what consumers want. Polling shows that most Canadians say they would spend more to purchase animal products that come from more humane systems, but current labels are confusing and lack consistent and adequate information. Thus, consumers are groping in the dark for products that promote better animal treat-

ment, and producers, who stand to gain the market support they need to move to higher welfare systems, are missing opportunities as a result. Marketing research data tells us that labelling eggs from caged chickens predictably boosts sales of their cage-free counterparts but don’t hurt egg sales as a whole. So in supply managed systems like eggs, poultry, and dairy, producers have little to lose and everything to gain. In traded commodities like beef and pork, Canadian industries have the chance to shine on a global stage increasingly con-

cerned with transparency and animal welfare. The public doesn’t support farming practices that keep animals confined in cages and the best available science confirms that animals in cage-free systems have better welfare than those forced to live in tight confinement. Animals that can move and express natural behaviours require different husbandry practices, and many forward-thinking producers are embracing that change. After all, what industry has ever thrived when it refused to innovate or to respond to its customers’ demands? Producers are telling consumers the stories of where their food comes from, but this approach can’t work unless that story is in line with customers’ values. Canadians are concerned about how farm animals are treated, and this concern is increasing. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is midway through overhauling Canadian labelling requirements, and labelling animal products with method of production is on the table. Producers and processors should support the adoption of these labels as a way to help their industries innovate, provide animals a higher level of welfare, and to help their own long-term bottom lines. It’s one area where everyone wins. Sayara Thurston is campaign manager at Humane Society International/Canada

WHAT HAPPENED TO PEAK OIL?

Economic forecasts not always accurate HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ong-range economic predictions are always interesting, but more often than not they miss the mark. Rewind to a few years ago and remember what analysts were saying about oil prices. Oil was said to be in short supply. It was going to become so scarce and expensive that major economic adjustments would be needed around the world. Guess what. Oil is unexpectedly cheap and abundant and that seems to be the scenario for the foreseeable future. Ethanol production, particularly in the U.S., has been a major contributor

to strong world grain prices. At best, current ethanol production levels will be maintained, but the economics will be difficult with oil so cheap. There were many promoters of both sides of the border who thought ethanol had guaranteed long-term profitability. It doesn’t look like such a fun business anymore. Remember when the Chinese economy seemed unassailable. We should have guessed that such a rapid rate of growth would not be sustainable indefinitely. Suddenly there are warning flags in the world’s second largest economy. As a major market for many of our agricultural commodities, what happens in China could have large ramifications on market returns. Fortunately, there are counterbalancing forces helping agriculture. Who would have guessed that interest rates could stay so low for so long? It’s been a great time for farms to expand. Money has been on sale. The dramatic drop in oil prices has dragged down the value of the

loonie relative to the U.S. greenback, shielding Canadian grain producers from the full effect of softening world grain prices. If our dollar was at par, you can bet that canola prices would be a lot lower than $10 a bushel. And calf prices wouldn’t be looking so buoyant heading into the fall run. On the flip side of the coin, the low loonie is making fertilizer more expensive and it will also have an impact on new equipment values. How many times did you hear the s t o r y t o l d a b o u t t h e ra p i d l y expanding world population and the growing purchasing power of millions of people who now had money to spend on food? Farmers weren’t going to be able to keep up with demand. The future was so bright you needed sunglasses. The story isn’t recounted with as much regularity anymore. Economic and geopolitical twists and turns are complicated and regularly defy such linear predictions.

Civil wars, political strife, changing taxation policies, changing consumer expectations, unexpected trade barriers, unforeseen weather events and transportation bottlenecks regularly change the course of agriculture. Are the good times over in the grain industry or are we seeing a temporary lull in a continuing longterm bull market? There are many opinions, but no one really knows for sure. Analysts that correctly predict the future are often right for the wrong reasons anyway. There are some warning signs flashing. Should we take heed or just ignore them? Knowing the future would mak e a lot of decisions really easy. Perhaps the party will continue, but the grain industry boom of the past decade no longer seems to have quite the same trajectory.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

n May 1, just before the Alberta election that saw the NDP sweep to power, I posted a tweet with a graph supplied by the website iPolitics in which I said, “Saskatchewan now the most devoted Conservative voters in Canada.” Indeed, the graph showed that in Saskatchewan, the federal Conservatives enjoyed the support of 49 percent of voters, ahead of Alberta with 42 percent and Manitoba at 37 percent. Things have changed. The CBC poll tracker assembled by threehundredeight.com’s Eric Grenier now shows support for the Conservatives in Saskatchewan and Manitoba at 38.7 per cent. The poll tracker combines the two provinces. In Alberta, the Conservatives still dominate at 48.4 percent support. However, the three main parties remain in a statistical tie nationally. So we have a race, even in much of the Prairies. The Western Producer will be watching that race closely. We’ve made plans to travel thousands of kilometres throughout the Prairies and the agricultural regions of Ontario to check the pulse of farmers. Ma r y Ma c A r t h u r, b a s e d i n Camrose, will be on the lookout for key ridings, as will Barb Glen, who is based in Lethbridge. We’ve tasked Karen Briere of our Regina bureau with criss-crossing key agricultural areas to look at a variety of issues. Next week, she’ll scout southern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba to talk to farmers about what’s on their minds. The following week she’ll be in the Battlefords and Prince Albert. Then it’s off to Alberta. At the end of September she’ll be in southern Ontario, looking at the 40 rural seats that are typically Conservative, after which she’ll attend the Canadian Federation of Agriculture’s debate in Ottawa Sept. 30. Karen will look at issues affecting prairie farmers, including the effect the Trans-Pacific Trade Talks are having on the election in areas in which supply management reigns. Election night itself is a Monday, our production day, so we’re still looking at how far into the night we can keep our reporters at work and our editors at their keyboards. This election promises to be a long, grueling battle, and we’ll be there exploring the important issues. brian.macleod@producer.com

MARKETING MESS To the Editor; The prairie wheat marketing system is a mess that prime minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative government created. Harper, while he was head of the National Citizens Coalition, stated that the old Canadian Wheat Board had to go. The multinationals must have reached him, as he never raised a kernel of wheat and tried to transport it or sell it. There are several points to look at in his handling of the former

CWB. The dismantling of the CWB without a plan for something to take over the function that the former CWB performed. A) a strong entity to work with the railroad companies; B) a system whereby the r ight grade of wheat was ordered to be hauled to match sales; c) a fair system where the money from sales went back to the farmers. Harper thought the free market would look after the sales of crops, but he forgot the greed ethic of free marketers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they all wanted to get their own grain to market and we saw the result of that in 2013-14,

and again in 2014-15, whereby the bases were so high that it resulted in the biggest transfer of wealth from the Prairies to the multinationals so far. The original date for shutting down the CWB was supposed to be 2017. What happened? (Nov 10, 2014 WP). The new CWBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dayna Spiring stated that CWB isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for sale, they are just looking for a partner to take the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place, but they are giving it away for a promise that the new owners will invest $250 million in new facilities. Will it happen? And how come so little? The former CWB was worth a lot more than that.

They also have been giving farmers a $500 share for every tonne of wheat delivered, but the farm sector is to have only 49 percent of the equity and shares. That gives them no say. We have been told that the new owners will decided down the road what to do with the farmer equity. It looks like the government is trying to get another large lump of money from the prairie agriculture sector. It looks like Harper called the election so early so that the other parties couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get contributions after the dropping of the writ, whereas the Conservative party had been able to call in a lot of money from the multinationals in recognition for what the government had done for them. A letter was published (Aug. 18, 2015 WP) with a quote that the loss to the prairie economy from wheat sales in 2013-14 was $3 billion and the 2014-15 loss was more than $2 billion. This is due to the bungling of the free marketers. The system needs regulation. Harper is trying to get re-elected by creating an atmosphere of fear of what would happen if any other party came to power. For what he and agriculture minister Gerry Ritz have done for the prairie economy, the prairie agricultural sector should vote A.B.C. Bernard Von Tettenborn; Round Hill, Alta.

WHERE ARE ROLE MODELS? To the Editor; Of late the federal Conservative Party has been advertising malicious commercials on television against the other federal party leaders. I find such tactics extremely degrading to those who have been elected to represent their party as leaders. Nor is it a sign for good co-operation in the House of Commons. A sense of being on a battlefield comes to mind instead of working for the good of our country. The four people elected to represent their parties were chosen for qualities they demonstrated with abilities as leaders. They are people to be recognized with honourable intent and to be respected. This method of backstabbing, mudslinging and name calling during an election campaign, to me, shows very poor taste and only discourages some people to stay away from the polls on election day. This behaviour is not proper. Why are such devious techniques brought out during an election campaign? Even in the House of Commons certain individuals heckle members of opposite parties. Why? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand and appreciate such behaviour. If we want our whole country, and in the end, the whole world to get along, such behaviour is not conducive to improving or bringCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Yet,that same likeness is being projected now. What has happened to adult role-models? Norma Tibbits-Fefchak, Virden, Man.

SCHOOL FUNDING To the Editor; We need funding to restore and replace schools in the little towns and villages in the farming and ranching communities. The closure of these schools are literally driving families out of farming. Farmers are critical to our society and economy. With the eliminations of these schools, it makes staying in these communities nearly impossible. Farming is not for the faint of heart. In the vast majority of cases, new farmers are raised by old f a r m e r s.

If you are not raised in the farming/ranching lifestyle, you will not grow up to be a one. It is far too difficult, the risks too high, and the hours too long. The cost of operating these little schools are nothing compared to what it will cost Canada to lose these industrious families. Never gamble what you cannot afford to lose.

family’s attempt to sail from Turkey to the Greek island of Kos. News agencies that chose to run the photo of the child lying face down in the surf received backlash on social media. Some commentators said if the child were Canadian the news agencies wouldn’t have run the photo, evidence of the tendency to dehumanize those with refugees status. There were also critiques of the “social media activists” who shared the image because they were fooling themselves by thinking they are actually helping the situation from

the comfort of their keyboards. The image brought to the forefront Canada’s dealing with the Syrian refugee crisis. Some of my social media connections are not shy about their opposition to allowing almost any foreigners into the country to “steal our jobs and deplete our health-care systems,” but even they had to feel remorse for young Alan Kurdi, his brother and mother. Canada is one of the world’s wealthiest countries and few people will argue there was nothing more we could have done to support Syrian refugees over the past five years.

The already iconic picture has catapulted Canada’s system for handling refugees into an election issue. Have Canadian values been represented by the Conservative policy during the past decade of tightening Canada’s asylum system and ignoring the appeals from organizations that help refugees? Should Canada accept more refugees than it already does? Sharing images and stories on social media about the death of Alan Kurdi will not immediately affect the lives of the people struggling to leave Syria. There are sig-

nificant limitations to “social media activism.” But over the past few days, I’ve witnessed some great discussion about Canada’s immigration policy by friends and family online, which wouldn’t have occurred without the terrible images of Alan Kurdi. The use of the images by media organizations has helped prompt an overdue discussion about Canada’s responsibility to the world, as a country that has the wealth and power to help these refugees in a meaningful way. robin.booker@producer.com

FARM ACCIDENT

Sask. farmer, grandson die in grain accident Farm safety expert says tragedy highlights the dangers of working with grain; number of incidents rising BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A tragic fatal farm accident near Burstall, Sask., underscores the dangers of working with grain, particularly during the busy and stressful harvest season. Sixty-three-year old Dennis Becker and his 14-year-old grandson, Layne Langridge, died last week while emptying a dual hopper semi-trailer of grain on a farm about 16 kilometres east of Burstall

at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 31. RCMP would provide no further details. However, sources said it appeared one of the two people fell into the semi and the other tried to save him. Glen Blahey, agricultural safety and health specialist with the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association, said the number of incidents involving grain is rising. “Grain engulfments are increasing in frequency right across North America and part of that is due to the

fact that the size of grain storage facilities are increasing and most producers don’t recognize the hazards associated with moving grain,” he said. The problem with grain is it is a solid that behaves as a liquid once it starts to move, Blahey said. The larger the bin, the more the grain will move. No one should ever walk on the surface of grain unless the person is wearing a harness and lifeline and someone else is monitoring the situation. People die in bins when grain

walls fall on them or they become entangled in bin sweeps. They also suffocate in grain bags when they don’t use unloaders properly and the bags collapse. Blahey noted that it takes a 10-inch auger five to seven seconds to move six feet worth of grain. “That is the equivalent volume of a human body,” he said. “If I’m standing on the surface of the grain in the bin or on the truck and the chute is opened up, in five to seven seconds I will no longer be

on the surface of that grain.” If someone falls into a semi-trailer, the first thing to do is close the bottom door. Then, try to extricate the person from the top but only by following proper procedure. Blahey said if someone is stuck up to the shoulders in grain and people start walking around the person they will pack the grain more tightly and cause suffocation. They also shouldn’t try to pull the person out. Pulling an adult out would require about 800 pounds of force, he said. Instead, try to build a wall around the stuck person using plywood, boards or a strong plastic barrel with both ends cut out. “Then you start scooping that grain out and as you keep scooping the grain out you keep pressing that barrel down,” he said. Once the person is clear to the knees he should be able to start working himself out. Blahey said this isn’t always so easy; people don’t just fall through grain standing up. And in even a few inches of grain people can’t tell which is up or down and won’t be able to get themselves out. He reminded farmers to take five minutes at the start of a day to review what they plan to do and what they might encounter. Shutting down equipment before servicing it, stopping machines completely before changing drivers, and watching for overhead power lines, other vehicles on roads and road conditions are all common sense. Harvest can be an exhausting time of year and studies comparing exhaustion to intoxication show that being awake for 17 to 19 hours is the equivalent of a blood alcohol level of .05. After 21 hours, the equivalent is .08.

New drainage rules arrive Sask. legislation will apply to all drainage in the province BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Long-awaited new drainage rules were announced by Saskatchewan Sept. 1. | FILE PHOTO

FACT #1: Proven® Seed is the total, all-around package for success in canola and cereal crops. It’s NEW genetics and seed varieties. It’s also 25 years of groundbreaking research — plus leading agronomics, field trials and distribution networks. FACT #45: Proven Seed integrated all the way from R&D to the farm — through breeding, production, seed treating, distribution and retail. Which means quality seed you can count on. FACT #74: Proven Seed has over 25 years of continuous research in Western Canada. The CPS R&D team includes more than 50 dedicated staff in Canada and Australia with three research farms and 35 research sites across the Prairies.

Farmers and municipalities say they are curious to see how effective new agricultural drainage regulations will be as they are phased in over the next 10 years. The long-awaited new rules, announced Sept. 1, will bring all drainage into compliance, including works constructed before 1981, and will still require a landowner complaint before action can be

is put to the test by farmers to ensure it performs best where it counts — on large-scale, producermanaged fields. See for yourself at provenseed.ca/performance-trials. FACT #29: Seed production is a priority for Proven Seed. We work with CSGA growers to produce,

taken because there is no official monitoring. But environment minister Herb Cox said he expects that a simplified approval process and the ability for landowners to sign agreements with each other without obtaining easements will mean more farmers will follow the rules and result in less unauthorized drainage. He said the previous regulations were more prescriptive rather than risk-based and that bogged down the approval system.

FACT #10: Proven Seed set the bar in standability. New hybrids, like PV 200 CL, build on this world class standard while offering high yield potential and a non-GMO premium contract option with the Clearfield® production system. FACT #51: Manage your acres and harvest timing. PV 531 G brings strong yields, excellent standability and early maturity so growers can manage harvest windows without sacrifice. Suitable for the short growing zones of the Prairies, this Genuity® Roundup Ready® hybrid lives up to the name Proven Seed.

I7ş6 $ PROVEN )$&7 (that 25 years adds up to a lot of facts)

FACT #88: Clubroot is a potentially devastating soil-borne disease that causes swelling or galls to form on roots in canola, ultimately killing the plant. The next generation of advanced CPS-bred Brassica napus canola hybrids demonstrate high levels of resistance to clubroot pathotype 5X, and will mark a first in the fight against the growing threat of this disease. FACT #133: The Proven Performance Trials program is the largest retail comparison program in Western Canada. With over 200 trials in 2015, the Proven Seed portfolio

clean and test our seed to ensure the highest level of quality control. Through an accredited seed laboratory, we screen every seed lot extensively for disease, purity and germination — to give you confidence in your seed investment.

He also said he expects Water Security Agency staff will be able to deal with complaints sooner. A lack of enforcement is a longstanding criticism of the agency and its forerunners. An agency survey last year found most respondents wanted better enforcement and stiffer penalties. Ray Orb, president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, said those concerns are not specifically addressed in these regulations. “We are still hoping they’re going to go that route,” he said. Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall also said further details and policy development will determine how effective the new rules are. Other key changes include ensuring that mitigation of any impacts related to flooding, water quality and habitat loss are addressed during approval and enabling qualified persons, such as consultants, to help design higher-risk works. Two basins, the Souris near Stoughton and the Assiniboine near Canora, will be pilot project areas to develop and refine the policies. “We can’t deal with the whole province at one time so we’re picking these two areas because there are a lot of works in those areas that we know of,” Cox said. That doesn’t mean farmers in other parts of the province who have works or want approval can’t apply, he said. Cox said the WSA is still working on penalties for failure to comply. He said the concern about lack of enforcement should be eased by a less cumbersome system and requiring older projects to comply. “There is a substantial backlog in complaints that were received,” he agreed. Now, if a complaint is made, the WSA will be able to quickly check to see if the works were approved. Previously, staff had to inspect to see if the works were built before 1981. Ducks Unlimited Canada director of prairie regional operations Scott Stephens said the regulations are a good first step. However, that organization wants more details on how drainage effects on wetlands will be mitigated. Alberta already has a process in place and Manitoba is close to implementing one. “If this due process doesn’t either reduce the amount of drainage or compensate for the drainage that happens with restorations elsewhere, then you’re still going to have negative impacts that are passed on to someone else,” Stephens said. Alberta proponents pay up to $8,000 per acre for mitigation while in Manitoba the cost is expected to be about $6,000 per acre. Ducks Unlimited works to find producers who want to restore wetlands to help mitigate drainage by others. “It’s just figuring out what sort of magnitude of drainage there is going to be allowed moving forward and then finding the mitigation to deal with that,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

AGRICULTURAL ADVISERS

Farm consultants explore network services Tax, risk management, farm management and real estate specialists meet to talk about fragmented advisory industry This series explores how farmers, agriculture consultants and service providers are professionalizing agriculture by integrating the many skills required by today’s complex and challenging industry. BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Lots of farmers have been scrambling to cope with the increasingly complex and unforgiving world of agriculture. They aren’t alone. Some of the expert professionals they turn to for advice have been doing the same, and some feel they’ve fallen behind. “As advisers and professionals we maybe have not kept up with the rapid change of the agricultural world,” mused BDO taxation specialist Geoff Garland, during a roundtable discussion between him, risk management specialists, farm management specialists and a farm real estate sales expert. David Derwin of Winnipeg’s P.I. Financial, who arranged the meeting, agreed, noting that farmers need professional help for many aspects of farming, but often those professionals are broken-up pieces of a messy management pie. “It’s sort of done chock-a-block rather than being big picture,” he said. “They don’t necessarily know each other. It’s that ability to have that true network of people (that will help commercial farmers thrive and succeed in the future.)” Farmers have always relied on expert advice for certain key needs. Most farmers have hired accountants, agronomy advisers, management consultants and real estate agents at some point. But in recent decades thousands of farmers have radically increased their level of knowledge, education, training and management in an attempt to succeed in today’s competitive environment. And many want more from their advisers than piecemeal services. They are seeking customized advice for their specific operations. That’s why Derwin was trying to figure out a way to offer a more comprehensive suite of professional services that farmers might need. “There are a number of areas we just can’t address, that we’re not experts in,” said Joseph Alkana, a partner of Derwin, who held the meeting in his firm’s Portage and Main headquarters. “We just want to do what we do best, but we want to work out something so we have a number of people like ourselves who can really take care of other areas that are equally important.” Farmers avidly attend conferences and take professional development courses, but often they go without a comprehensive overview of their situation. “You go to the conferences and there’s little bits here, little bits there. There’s experts everywhere, but there’s no-one who’s all on the same page of the farmer to help them with this,” said Derwin.

Garland and Steinbach farm real estate agent Stacey Hiebert have noticed that sometimes farmers come to them with situations they want to address, but the issue has little to do with real estate or accounting. “I find that the first few meetings are more psychology than it is tax,” said Garland. For Hiebert, real estate decisions often come to him rushed, without having been well thought out. That’s a product of the real estate

decisions not being part of a longer term strategic management plan. Hiebert hopes to make farmers’ land decisions a more integrated element of farm management, considering the millions of dollars often involved. Terry and Gavin Betker of Backswath Management have been involved in that sort of advanced farm management planning for years, but as more farmers get more adept with management demands, agriculture itself demands more,

not necessarily leaving farmers better prepared for contemporary demands than their forebears. As farmers have increased their professional skills, farming has increased the professional demands placed on farmers. That makes it necessary for professionals who advise farmers to get together, Terry Betker said, and many haven’t yet realized they are failing to do that. “I don’t think that resource, that collective resource, has kept pace

with the needs of the farmers,” he said. “I think the needs of the some of these farms have or are outstripping what we in the industry have put together in terms of a co-ordinated approach to help them.” ed.white@producer.com

HARVEST 2015

Corn takes ‘roller-coaster’ ride in Ontario Excessive rainfall in June and July caused the variability seen in the province’s corn and soybean crops this year BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DRESDEN, Ont. — There’s little certainty of profit for Ontario’s corn growers this year, according to analysts with two of the province’s largest co-operatives. “I’d say right now it’s a losing proposition (for some),” said Frank Backx, a grain marketer with the Hensall District Co-operative. “It depends totally on your land cost.” Don Kabbes, market development manager with Great Lakes Grains, said farmers will harvest close to 2.1 million acres of corn this year, up from 1.8 million acres last year. Great Lakes, which is the marketing arm of Agris Co-operative and GrowMark, Inc., conducts an annual pre-harvest yield estimate, and Kabbes also scouted crops Aug. 28 from an airplane. “This year, I think we have rollercoaster corn across the province, and not in a good way,” Kabbes said. “I think overall Chatham-Kent is the best, the Garden of Eden. If you go to Essex County next door, that’s not the Garden of Eden. Everything else is somewhere in between. There are lots of holes.” Kabbes had thought the province’s average yield would likely approach 160 bushels per acre before he made his flight, but now he feels he may have been overly optimistic. Backx has the same impression. He said the province will be in an export position if corn averages close to 160 bu., but a net importer of corn over the next year if the average is in the low 150s. With a harvest of 160 bu., both Kabbes and Backx said the cost of land will determine profitability for many Ontario farmers. Farmers in the province pay around $300 per acre to rent good land for corn and soybean production. Rental rates can be significantly higher in areas where specialty crops such as processing tomatoes and sugar beets are also grown. Three million acres of soybeans were planted in Ontario this year, and Backx and Kabbes said estimating soybean yields is far more difficult than corn. The variability of this year’s corn and soybean crops is related to excessive rainfall in June and July across most of the Ontario. Crops on well-drained, sandy soil are generally doing better. Corn is also performing well directly above tile drainage, while plants are often shorter between the rows, especially in heavier soil. Backx said it’s been a challenge to price corn and soybeans. Some analysts were bullish in early summer, connecting poor cropping conditions to higher prices down the road. There was a summer rally, but now prices for corn and soybeans have fallen back to previous lows. Backx said corn prices may make a modest recovery once the North

Ontario farmers need to consider all areas of their fields, and not just the good spots, when estimating this year’s yield potential. American harvest begins, a repeat of the scenario that played out in 1993. He feels the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture corn and soybeans yield estimates, at 168.8 and 46.9 bushels per acre, respectively, were optimistic. In some U.S. states, such as Minnesota, farmers are on their way to harvesting 180 bu. crops, he said. In others, including Indiana, Ohio and parts of Iowa, farmers will be lucky to harvest 140 bu. This year, Ontario farmers harvested 600,000 acres of winter wheat and 130,000 acres of spring wheat. Winter wheat yields were surprisingly strong, but vomitoxin was a concern in some areas. Spring wheat yields in the 70 to 80 bu. range were reported, which is one piece of good news in what Kabbes described as a “cool, backwards” kind of year.

An infestation of bedbugs recently discovered in a Saskatchewan layer barn is not a common occurrence in Canada, says a poultry veterinarian. Dr. Jenny Fricke, poultry extension veterinarian at the University

of Saskatchewan, said only one of about 70 poultry barns in the province has reported the problem after workers hired to clean out Pedigree Poultry near Regina Beach reported bites and large numbers of the bugs. Clinton Monchuk, chief executive officer of Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan, said all producers have been informed that bedbugs were found and told to be aware of them. The insects have never before been reported as a problem. “I have colleagues in the United States who deal with far more operations on a much larger scale and the incidence there is certainly on the rise,” Fricke said. An internet search indicates even backyard chicken flocks may become infested. In the Saskatchewan case, Fricke said it’s likely bugs entered the barn on someone’s clothing because bedbugs are closely associated with humans. She said her recent “crash course” in bedbugs seems to indicate that populations are rising in both people and animals, and there is a lack of expertise in how to deal with them. Bedbugs have a tremendous reproductive capacity, she said. “One insect can double in number every 16 days in comfortable, appropriate environmental conditions,” Fricke said. It would take 34 weeks to have more than one million bugs. “The biggest risk is that heavy infestations can serve as an irritant to the birds,” she said. “They can impact overall bird productivity, so there can be decreases in egg production. You could have nest box aversion or aversion to certain places in the barn where populations are high, and, in certain cases, anemia.” James Glen, owner of Pedigree Poultry, did not return phone calls, but told other media that he tried spraying a bleach solution and spreading diatomaceous earth to rid the empty barn of bugs. Fricke said an integrated approach is best. Useful treatments include heat in empty barns and insecticides, some of which can be used when birds are present. “From what I understand, (bedbugs are) relatively easy to kill, but the problem is finding all of them to make sure you’ve had a chance to knock them out,” she said. Some farmers have asked about freezing and whether Saskatchewan’s cold temperatures would help control bedbugs. Fricke said that might help with bedbugs, but when she wants to save other pathogens in the lab she freezes them. “You might be preserving other pathogens you don’t necessarily want to preserve.” karen.briere@producer.com

MARKETING

Gluten free certification growing Businesses start to build markets and offer management protocols for authenticated specialty products BY WILLIAM DEKAY AND KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new partnership in Saskatchewan will help meet growing consumer demand for organic glutenfree oats in North America. Avena Foods in Regina and Mars ha l l G l u t e n - F re e Mi l l i n g o f Saskatoon are working together to offer oat products that are certified organic and gluten-free and produced through a certified grower network. The companies describe it as a ground-breaking marketing move. “Nobody else is offering the product as certified gluten free, certified organic,” said Dale Richardson of Avena. “Our product will go out as Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO) certified. It’s a much lower level of gluten.” Avena has produced and marketed certified gluten-free rolled oats, quick flakes, steel cuts, groats and flour for eight years. It said the expansion into organic gluten-free will not affect its existing glutenfree growers and customers. Marshall Gluten-Free Milling will handle the organic grower relationship and provide Avena Foods with certified organic and certified gluten free oats. Mike Marshall plans to expand its grower base, which now comprises prairie growers who are certified organic and qualify for certified gluten-free. He said there are not enough organic acres to meet market demands. He also wants to help conventional growers transition into organics in a more financially viable way. Doing so gluten free promotes good crop rotation and is more financially sound, he added. “Quite frankly, we want to change the industry. We would like our model to be the model that organics is used for because it’s a more sustainable rotation,” he said. “This is a closed loop system where it’s a consistent price year in and year out. You’re compensated for your performance.” The partnership includes agronomic, economic and environmental arrangements with producers, which includes pure seed, proper rotations, field histories, identity preservation and traceability. Marshall said he will also develop markets for all crops in the rotation that are non-gluten. “There’s more awareness now of people who are celiac or sensitive to gluten, but I think that is only a

portion of the market interest,” said Richardson. “I think people have continued to become interested in consuming gluten free because of the perception that it is healthy.” Wallace Hamm, an agrologist and organic farmer who is also president of Pro-Cert Organic Systems near Saskatoon, said certification will be similar to organics. “As time progresses, within two to three years on the farm, gluten-

free certification will be the norm rather than the exception,” he said. Pro Cert, which already certifies organic farms, has created glutenfree certification protocols that are similar to those in place for organic operations, which includes annual inspections and accurate harvest samples and follows the steps of separation, isolation, sanitation and certification. He said failure to clean bins, augers, trucks and combines can lead to gluten being found in any crop. “(Certification) guarantees that products leaving the farm have been isolated from glutenous products,” said Hamm. “The demand for quality gluten free — that’s really what is pushing it — and making sure celiacs are looked after. The future of gluten free is real and growing.” He said on-farm certification will reduce risks for processors and

consumers. Markets for products made without wheat are growing, he said, citing the one percent of the North American population diagnosed with celiac disease, which causes intestinal damage. For many, that means switching to a gluten-free diet for the entire family to avoid making special meals. In addition, Hamm said there are markets for those with wheat sensitivities that elicit allergic reactions. Thirty farmers are already certified in Saskatchewan, which he expects to triple in the coming year. “Plants love this, it makes risks they have with hot spots practically zero,” said Hamm, who noted processors already check incoming loads. “It nullifies the possibility of celiac people getting a batch of products with a high gluten content and suing them,” he said.

“As processors realize there is a better way, they will demand onfarm certification.” He said farms can be certified as both organic and gluten free, but most will be gluten free and farmed conventionally. The annual cost for an average farm for certification would be $800 to $1,000, but producers could expect to see a $2 per bushel premium when selling these crops. Marshall estimated about 80 producers from Alberta and Saskatchewan would currently qualify for gluten-free certification. “If consumers have the choice for gluten free and organic, the choice will be for double certified,” he said. Marshall said organic is a choice for consumers, but gluten free is not. “The only relief for celiacs is a gluten free diet,” he said. william.dekay@producer.com karen.morrison@producer.com

Farm girl lands mighty role on big stage Twelve-year-old Kaylin Poirier of Fir Mountain, Sask., turns heads in summer theatre production of Tarzan BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

FIR MOUNTAIN, Sask. — Broadway may call for Kaylin Poirier one day, but for now, the 12-year-old actress is content with her ranch life at Fir Mountain. Fresh from playing a young Tarzan in the musical of the same name at the Fort Peck Theatre in Glasgow, Montana, this summer, the Grade 7 student returned to her regular routine, taking the long bus ride to Glentworth Central School and tending to more than 30 farm cats. “Someone said I should consider Broadway, but no, Fort Peck is big enough for me,” said Kaylin, who has attended two week performing arts camps there for the last four summers. The camps taught her the ropes of theatre production from creating the set to acting on the stage. That successfully built on her many years of lessons in dance, piano and voice back home, she said. The Glasgow Courier reviewer had strong reviews for the young star: “Early in the production, Kaylin Poirier launched onto stage, showing obvious pleasure in performing her role as the younger Tarzan. She scrambled, monkey-like, inhabiting her character with abandon while avoiding anything overly cartoonish. Poirier’s performance is reason enough for theatergoers to take in this production.” Her parents, Monty and Bev, say their daughter is focused. “She is passionate about anything she sets her mind to. She will stick with it and within weeks has mastered a complicated sonatina,” said Monty, who cited her unwavering performance of Hallelujah at her grandmother’s funeral. Ranching is also something Kaylin is good at, say the Poiriers, who have a 300 head cow-calf operation. “Kaylin has got quite a love for animals,” said Monty. “She’s a

He called it a physical, high energy role in which she had to act apelike throughout. She did not disappoint with her acting, singing and dancing ability. “She stole the show,” Meyers said. “She was strong coming in and so willing to learn.” He praised her level of self-confidence and credited her parents for their strong support. He hopes to see her audition again next year. “Kaylin is such a team player, it wouldn’t mater to her if she played

the lead or was dancing in the ensemble,” he said. Kaylin was surprised, happy and more than a little shocked when chosen as Tarzan. “I thought I’d be one of the jungle citizens,” she said. Then came a thick script that proved a little intimidating. Monty described how he first heard that she had landed the role. “It was in March, just before calving, we had snow, and all of a sudden I hear a blood curdling scream from the house,” he said. After three weeks of rehearsals, the play opened July 31 and ran during the first half of August. During this time, the Poiriers stayed in the family’s trailer at Glasgow, about 140 kilometres from their 101-year-old farm that grows 2,000 wheat, lentils and hay. Kaylin was not paid for her per-

increased her interest in the theatre arts, noting she will attend the camp next year and audition again for roles there. karen.morrison@producer.com

COUNSELLING

Rapport key to successfully working with counsellor SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

After many years of frustration and disappointments, our son is finally going to counselling to try to sort out some of the problems he has experienced throughout his life. We are very happy that he is finally getting help. He is only 23. He has a lot of time to change things around and get going in a more positive direction.

The only problem is that he is not fussy about his counsellor. He has only been to three sessions but he thinks that is enough for a start. Something should be happening. It isn’t. He tells me that his counsellor does not seem to understand him and he would rather not go to any more sessions with him. We do not know what to do. Should we encourage him to stick it out with his current counsellor or should we shop around for a different one? I am not sure why your son is going for counselling. If he is going because he has been forced to go, either through a probation order from the courts, a condition of continued employment in his job

or because he is trying to please his parents, he might resent having to go and is using his disappointment with the counsellor as an excuse to get out of it. If that is the case your best option is to stay out of it and let him and his counsellor figure it our for themselves. Often as not when people sign in for counselling against their will, they will come around and begin to appreciate the support they find in the counselling office. You would not want to do anything that might interfere with that as a possibility for your son. If, on the other hand, your son has volunteered on his own to go for counselling because he seriously wants to make some significant

changes in his life and the counsellor is not meeting his expectations, you might want to listen to him. Research tells us that those who have a sense that their counsellors are in tune with both their feelings and personal concerns tend to benefit the most from counselling. The key to good counselling is not as much the distinct wisdom of the counsellor as it is the rapport the counsellor is able to establish with his clients. Things work better when everyone gets along with at least a modicum of respect for each other. Because your son is not comfortable with his counsellor, he might consider finding a different one. Counsellors are no different than are other people in our lives. Some

of them will connect with us, others will not. You might want to find one who can connect with your son. I hope that your son will talk about his misgivings with his counsellor and ask the counsellor to help him find a different resource. Most counsellors will do what they can to support their clients who want to transfer elsewhere. If your son’s counsellor absolutely refuses to help him and he does not appear to have a reasonable reason for doing so, you and your son need to seriously consider finding other resources for your son on your own.

PEPPERS

Peppers bring colour and flavour to everyday meals TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

eppers add more than spiciness and bring unique flavours to foods. They belong to the genus Capsicum and are either of the hot varieties, called chiles, or sweet peppers. The Scoville factor, created by American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville in 1912, measures the heat or spiciness of peppers. The bell pepper sits at zero on the scale and the jalapeno at 3,50010,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Habaneros and scotch bonnets are at 100,000-350,000 SHU but most peppers used in cooking are somewhere between the bell pepper and scotch bonnet. The Komodo Dragon pepper is said to be 40 times hotter than the scotch bonnet at 1.4 million SHU. Wear rubber gloves when chopping and preparing hot peppers because the residue on your hands can be painful if you touch your eyes or skin. Cooking peppers reduces their heat and spiciness along with removing the seeds. Eating dairy products such as yogurt or sour cream can reduce the heat in your mouth.

JALAPENO POPPERS 12 jalapeno peppers 1 pkg. cream cheese 1 pkg. thick cut bacon Slice peppers in half lengthwise and remove ribs and seeds. Soften the cream cheese and fill each half of pepper with it. Lay slices of bacon on a baking sheet and precook in a 350 F (180 C) oven until about half cooked. Wrap a

slice of bacon around each cheesefilled pepper and secure with a small wooden skewer. Grill on a medium hot barbecue until the bacon is crisped and pepper is tender. Do not turn over or the cheese will ooze out. Serve immediately.

The salsa (Phase 2) and canning (Phase 3) take about two hours total. Add 1/2 hour for cleanup (Phase 4).

Phase 1 Skin the tomatoes by blanching. Heat a large pot of water to boiling. Half fill a clean sink with cold water. Select about 30 barely ripe and five definitely under-ripe tomatoes. Score an X on the bottom of the tomato and then drop into boiling water for 40 to 60 seconds in batches of six or less. Quickly fish them out and drop in the cold water. The skins should peel off with minimal effort. Cut out big stem ends and roughly chop the tomatoes into one half-inch pieces. Slightly larger is OK, but smaller is not recommended.

SARAH GALVIN PHOTO

Place chopped tomatoes in plastic bowl or pail and mix in 1/2 cup (125 mL) pickling salt. You should have at least two gallons (8 L). Cover and let sit for three to 12 hours. The salt will suck most of the water out of the tomatoes and you’ll be pouring off three or four quarts (2 or 3 L) of clear saltwater. The end result is a thick chunky salsa rather than watery.

MEDICAL ERRORS

All sorts of mistakes can happen in the hospital HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I am due to go into hospital soon for knee replacement surgery. Some of my friends have been scaring me with stories of medical mistakes like operating on the wrong leg. How common are medical errors in Canada? I know the rate is high in the U.S.

If you take into account that the U.S has 10 times the population as Canada, the number of people who die each year from mistakes made by doctors, nurses

and pharmacists in Canada is almost exactly the same as in the U.S. In 2004, there were 24,000 deaths from these unfortunate causes in this country. For example, treating the wrong patient may seem unlikely, but it does happen. Patients sometimes have the same name and/or a similar address or age. My mother twice got the wrong medications delivered to her house because she had the same name as someone living nearby. I was called out in the night to see a patient who I thought I had already seen, so I was reluctant to go again. The nurse convinced me to go anyway, and it turned out to be a patient with the same name and a similar story. I apologized to the nurse. These errors can be prevented in a hospital setting by making sure the staff checks the whole name, date of

birth and bar code on your wrist band before any procedure is undertaken. Operating on the wrong body part can happen as a result of incorrect recording in the chart or surgical draping that covers up the marks that indicate the area to be operated on. Some people write on the wrong leg in large legible letters, “not this one,” but it is best to reaffirm with the nurse and the surgeon the correct body part and side of your operation just prior to surgery. Hospital infections can be serious and even lead to death. They may be caused by doctors or nurses not washing their hands. Sometimes medical equipment is not properly sterilized or is inadvertently re-used. You can ask the medical staff to wash their hands in front of you, if you have any doubts as to their

cleanliness. This problem is not likely to occur during the actual surgery because scrub procedures are thorough and other staff would probably notice if sterile techniques were not properly used. Surgeons still occasionally leave extra objects inside you by mistake, although this is more likely with abdominal surgery than a knee operation. Operating room staff is supposed to count all the swabs and instruments that are used, so that none are left behind. If you get unexplained pain or swelling and fever after surgery, this may be the reason. Chest tubes and feeding tubes look similar so that medications and liquids meant for the stomach may end up in your lungs instead. If you can speak, ask the nurse, “are you sure this is going in the

right tube?” Medication errors and serious side-effects of drugs are more common. Injectable and intravenous drugs should be double checked each time they are administered. Since computers are mostly used for prescriptions these days, there is now less likelihood of the pharmacist not being able to read a doctors handwriting. If there is any doubt, the pharmacist should phone the doctor and ask for clarification. Potentially dangerous drug interactions can also be prevented if the pharmacist is keeping track of patient medications. However, they may not be aware of non-prescription drugs or foods and supplements that may cause problems when interacting with prescription medications.

Young blood and innovation have breathed new life into the century old Cutarm Creek Farm. The Petracek family runs the Cutarm Creek Farm near Churchbridge, Sask., where farming operations have been passed down the line for four generations. Today there are three generations working the land side by side in grain production, seed cleaning and processing. Emil is the son of farm founder James, who is still working the land at age 87. Emil’s son, Ted, and his wife, Audrey, oversee the entire operation along with Ted’s brother, Ken. Ted’s sons Chad is the grain production manager while Brett oversees cleaning and processing. “When you get comfortable in s i t u at i o n s a n d t h e e c o n o my changes, you have to keep adapting to new situations. That’s where my sons have really benefitted the operation,” Ted said. “They bring new ideas and new initiatives to the operation. Our generation tends to get complacent, whereas the newer generation keeps up with the new trends.” Ted said it is satisfying to work the land with family, noting his father continues to help. “He’s always passing along words of wisdom from his generation and he has 70 years of farming experience to draw back on. It’s also great to see the deep appreciation the younger generation has for the land,” he said. Audrey, who handles the accounting side of the operation, enjoys managing the books and having the flexibility to schedule her own work days. She said work-

The Petracek family has been farming this land for more than 100 years. | ing with family can sometimes be a challenge, but the Petraceks have learned to work off each other’s strengths. “Our family’s motto is to always keep at something until the job is done,” she said. “From taking care of the marketing to focusing on value-added processing, we all bring something different to the table.” The key to the Petraceks’ longevity has been adapting to a challenging agricultural climate. James, whose roots reach back to the Czech Republic, began the family farm after immigrating to Saskatchewan from Texas in the early 1900s. In the beginning, it was mainly a mixed farm with cattle, grain, hogs and chickens but grain eventually became the main focus. When Ken and Ted joined the operation in 1979, they recognized the farm needed value-added processing due to poor grain prices of under $2 a bushel during the worst years. They built the first processing plant at the farm in 1980 and began planting lentil crops. “I remember seeing a story on Farmgate or another agricultural program about lentil production around that time. With the low wheat prices, we were looking for alternative crops,” Ted said. “The ’80s were very dry in Saskatchewan. We tried the lentils out and

they did quite well. Lentil processing quickly changed our farm into a specialty crop processor.” When the lentil crops began to decline in quality due to cooler and wetter summers, Cutarm Creek Farm turned to flaxseed. “Older generations noted that if

you fed flaxseed to animals, it would give them a shiny coat and there were properties in flax that nobody quite knew about. People knew they felt better when they ate it. It’s since been attributed to omega 3 and omega 6 oils,” Ted said. “In 2004, we decided to add cast

he Bushnell Trophy XLT Spotting Scope can be used for nature watching and sports photography when a clear image at high magnifications is required. The scope comes in a 15-45x magnification model with a 50 mm objective lens or a 20-60x with 65 mm. It weighs 32 to 42 ounces and is slightly more than 13 inches long. We tested the more powerful 20-60x magnification model with the 65 mm objective lens. It came with an adjustable shoulder strap, both hard and soft carry cases and a small metal tripod. A flip cover protects the objective lens while a removable cup safeguards the eyepiece. At the shooting range, we found the glass clarity perfectly suitable to clearly see even the fine details of .3 inch bullet holes at 200 yards.

Scope displayed some of vibration, but it was minimal and the unit was easy to adjust when moving from target to target. Fortunately, the spotting scope uses a screw hole of a size that is common to most commercial and professional optic mounts and tripods, which makes it easy to use alternative mounts and upgraded tripods. The glass clarity and magnification were excellent for observing nature from remote distances. Once set up, it was easy to get a good image of birds and animals during our time outdoors. We found the tripod provided in the kit to be too shaky and small to be effective in this kind of application, especially when attempting to watch birds moving from fence post to post, so we switched to a higher quality and taller alternative unit. In these conditions, it is good to know the spotting scope is waterproof and its glass coated to protect from varying weather conditions. This scope is definitely worth the money at around $260. The brightness and clarity through all its magnifications make it a good purchase. Kim Quintin is a Saskatoon outdoor enthusiast and knife maker.

AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH

Industry comes up with research blueprint The widespread support from stakeholders when developing the policy surprised the association leading the process BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A national policy for agricultural research was expected to be completed Sept. 9, ready to serve as a guide for the future. The Agriculture Institute of Canada circulated a draft of the policy last week, which was based on widespread input from producer groups, farmers, research groups, academics, agrologists and government officials. Eighty people met July 12-14 at a national conference in Ottawa, from which a summary and later a draft policy were developed. “The policy will serve as a framework and as a document to guide people in their decision making in the future in terms of research,” said AIC chief executive officer Serge Buy. “There is a need to have a common strategy on research and to have various stakeholders involved.” Buy said he was surprised by the good response that AIC received in its efforts to develop a policy and to do so through widespread involvement of those affected. A summary of the July meeting said a national body is needed to develop an overall research agenda. Greater input from farmers was a theme that ran through the discussions. “I think they’ve been ignored too often, especially when we talk about research, and I think that’s not healthy,” said Buy. “It’s not healthy for two reasons. One, they are the end users, in a way, of the research, and two, they often have to support the research through their own organizations … and as taxpayers as well. So they do need to be a little bit more involved in the discussion.” Discussions sought advice on three themes: • Balancing pure and applied research. • Interdisciplinary partnerships, collaboration and co-operation. • Issues in public-private partnerships. The focus on applied versus pure research has been controversial in some sectors and among researchers. Applied research tends to have more immediate results, while pure research has different goals and values.

“We do need to have applied research support because that’s really providing some short-term benefits to the sector, but there needs to be a balance with pure research that provides, maybe, benefits on the longer term.… You may not see the relevance immediately, but you will see the relevance in the future.” Buy said he expects a final policy will indicate the need for publicprivate partnerships (P3s), and also for P4s, which are public-pri-

vate-producer partnerships. Participation from a wide range of

stakeholders in agr i cultural research ensured the result was apolitical, said Buy. The policy will be directed to government in some respects, but it is meant to be a framework for all agricultural research. The policy has been released during the federal election, and Buy said he is hopeful it will resonate with party leaders. “I haven’t heard much said about agriculture during the election campaign,” he said Aug. 28.

“I’ve heard very few statements, so I don’t think our policy is going to change the minds of federal leaders, who suddenly will start talking about research in agriculture. “But I do think that when they are meeting with various groups and people on the ground, if there is an awareness about the policy, I think that the issue may start being mentioned and will potentially hit some visibility at the political level.”

100TH ANNIVERSARY

Research centre focused on flower power Agriculture Canada’s facility in Morden, Man., is still known for its roses, even though the program ended years ago BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

MORDEN, Man. — Roses are a complicated symbol, representing love, life, death, beauty, purity and passion. However, roses rarely represent agriculture and rural life, except at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Morden. The Morden centre celebrated its 100th anniversary last month, and roses were front and centre at the event. That’s because the centre was home to a major breeding program for ornamental and horticultural plants. The hardy rose program and ornamental and horticultural research ended years ago when the centre shifted its focus to agricul-

tural crops, but the breeding done at Morden is still producing new varieties. The Canadian Nursery Landscape Association will soon release a rose developed at Morden, a white and yellow rose known as the Oscar Peterson, which will become the newest entrant in the Canadian Artists Series of roses. Sharra Hinton, executive director of the Manitoba Nursery Landscape Association, said the Oscar Peterson rose represents a fraction of the research done at Morden. “The Morden Research Station, it’s played a huge role in the plants that we have available for our landscape on the Prairies.” Wilbert Ronald, who worked as a plant breeder at the research centre from 1965-82, said the ornamental and horticultural research

at Morden is still making an impact and well beyond Western Canada. For instance, the emerald ash borer, an invasive species from Asia, has destroyed tens of millions of ash trees in North America. Scientists are now evaluating the potential of an ash tree developed in Morden to determine if those genetics can pro-

tect and maintain the continent’s ash tree population. “The front line battle is being fought in Ohio, based on the Mancana ash, which was named right in Morden in 1976, and the two hybrids of it that we developed,” Ronald said, who now owns and operates Jeffries Nurseries in Portage la Prairie, Man. “They are the front line sources of resistance to Emerald ash borer.” Morden scientists also produced other fruit and ornamental trees and flowers, which have beautified thousands of homesteads and backyards in Canada: • The Goodland apple was introduced in 1955 and was planted on thousands of homesteads and backyards across Western Canada in the 1960s and 1970s. • The Prairie Cascade is a hybrid

Rapid evolutionary change seen in fruit fly Research sheds light on how crop-threatening insects can evolve to take advantage of new food sources BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — An entomologist has discovered that the genes of the apple maggot fruit fly are capable of rapid evolutionary change, which allows it to take advantage of new food that provides a safer haven for its larvae. Greg Ragland, assistant professor of entomology at Kansas State University, worked with a team of

biologists at several universities to look at how and why insect species evolve to become a threat to economically important crops. One theory has been that strong environmental changes, such as drastic seasonal weather shifts, can rapidly encourage different sections of an organism’s genome to change. They focused on the apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella, which historically laid its eggs in the fruit of the native hawthorn

tree. However, in the 1850s, a small group of flies was seen laying their eggs in apples. “Like many insects, Rhagoletis flies are heavily parasitized, mainly by parasatoid wasps that attack the larvae feeding in the fruit,” said Ragland. “Just like the flies, the parasatoids cue on specific fruit odours. The flies do this to find fruit to lay their eggs in (while) the parasatoids do this to find the fly larvae. There is natural variation among flies in the

odours that they ‘like,’ or seek out, and probably a few colonizing flies accidentally laid eggs in apples, which smell different than hawthorn fruit but are in the same plant family. The larvae seem to feed reasonably happily on apples, so the barrier really was probably changing the odour preferences of the fly.” He said the parasatoids don’t like the smell of apples and so seldom find the larvae inside. This gave the larvae a safe place to feed while the

N DISSOLVES INTO SOLUTION INSIDE THE GRANULE

Science smart. Apply ESN in the fall and its unique polymer coating safeguards nitrogen from loss mechanisms by releasing it at a timely rate controlled by soil moisture and temperature – perfect for winter wheat. And ESN is the only controlled–release N source available in broad acre agriculture, which makes it uniquely smart. Storage smart. Get ESN now and it goes in the ground not in your bin. And even if you do store it, ESN won’t set up in storage so it has a long shelf life.

Time smart. When you apply ESN before freeze up you’ll have one less big chore come spring. ESN is also convenient to apply. It’s compatible with no–till operations and it’s easy to blend. It even has a wider application window in both the spring and the fall. You decide when you want to apply it. Environmentally smart. By greatly reducing leaching, volatilization and denitriﬁcation, ESN protects the surrounding environment. ROI smart. ESN’s controlled–release matches crop demand, which can boost yields by an average of 5-10% – and even as much as 30%. That’s more dollars in your pocket. And that’s the best kind of smart there is!

parasatoids continued to feed on the larvae in hawthorn. Natural selection favoured fly development toward apples. Ragland said apples also begin to develop fruit earlier than hawthorns. Flies had to evolve earlier seasonality so that the adults’ egglaying time would coincide with the ripening of the apple fruit for their larvae. Apples are the most valuable edible tree fruit in British Columbia. Sixty percent of all orchard land is planted with apple trees, and the province produces 24 percent of the apples grown in Canada. Market production averages 96,600 tonnes with a farmgate value of $36.7 million. Apple maggots, which are a pest in most apple growing regions of Ontario, were first reported in the Pacific Northwest in 1979 and showed up in Alberta in 2005 and in B.C.’s Fraser Valley in 2006. They are also found on Vancouver Island and in the Prince George area. The pest has not been detected in the major fruit growing regions of the Okanagan, Similkameen or Creston valleys. Adult flies are five millimetres long with a black body, yellowish head and legs and white bands on the thorax. Their wings have black bands, which are identification markers from other related fruit flies. The research team sequenced the genomes of hawthorn and apple flies and then reared flies under short-term hawthorn-like and apple-like conditions. They found immediate differences under the short-term conditions. The genetic changes in the short-term experiment lined up almost completely with the genetic changes in the hawthorn and apple groups. The results suggested that many regions of the genome can evolve toward change in just a few generations, driven by environmental differences. Ragland said the differences in the flies between those synchronized with hawthorn fruit and those adapted to apples equate to two different genetic groups. Each generation of fly will build o n t h o s e d i f f e re n c e s, w h i c h bring about the formation of a new species. “We now have lots of evidence that evolution can bring about relatively drastic changes in the span of years or decades,” said Ragland. Their study focused on seasonality and timing, adaptations that could be achieved in a short time span. “(There is) much evidence for rapid evolution of seasonality in mosquitoes, squirrels, moths and birds, and more,” he said. He said the research shows that species are not static. Instead, they are fluid in the environment in which they live. A change in the environment can drive genetic change over a short time scale and produce a hither-to benign fly into a serious crop pest. The study was published in the scientific journal Ecology Letters.

VEGETABLE PRODUCTION

Ont. vegetable growers weather the weather Excessive rain and greater than usual disease pressure have challenged producers growing for the processing market BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

WALLACEBURG, Ont. — Ontario’s processing tomato growers have had to work their way through excessive early season rain and, in some cases, greater than usual disease pressure. Brothers Eric and Wilf Allaer have fared better than most. “It was early on in June when there was the biggest disease pressure, but our quality has been very good and our yields have been very good,” Eric Allaer said. “There’s a way to go. They’re not all in the factory yet.” Bacterial spot, speck and canker are an annual concern, and this year late blight was detected in numerous locations. Growers often spray weekly until the crop approaches maturity. The Allaers, with more than 400 acres of tomatoes, are among the larger growers in Ontario. The brothers also grow more than 100 acres of peppers, machine-harvested cucumbers that are shipped to the United States, corn, soybeans and wheat. Much of the labour for vegetable p ro d u c t i o n i s p e r f o r m e d by migrant workers from Jamaica. Many, like Dino Hamilton, who operates one of the two Pik Rite tomato harvesters at the operation, have received extensive training. “He’s one of our key guys. He’s a good man. He’s been with us for quite a few years. We have a few guys who’ve been with us for quite a few years,” Allaer said. Most processing tomato growers deliver to one of the three large canning plants in southwestern Ontario: ConAgra Foods in Dresden, Sun-Brite Foods near Leamington and Highbury Canco in Leamington. Highbury Canco is an Ontario-owned business that took over the old Heinz Canada plant. Most of the other processing vegetables grown in Ontario and Que-

bec are processed by Bonduelle North America, a subsidiary of the France-based Bonduelle Group. Ontario’s growing season has been described as cool and backward this year, but Al Krueger of Ontario Processing Vegetable Growers (OPVG) said there have been some good results.

He described the ongoing sweet corn har vest as being “fairly steady” and the earlier pea harvest as “reasonable.” OPVG chair Jim Poel said his processing pea crop just east of London was good, but he has heard other growers who have had challenges. “There are always challenges

with peas. They’re only in the ground for about 60 days, so they don’t have much time to recover if there’s a problem,” he said. OPVG is a marketing board that negotiates prices for 14 processing vegetable crops in Ontario. Some, such as red beets, have a total farmgate value of less than $1 mil-

lion. Others, including carrots, snap beans and onions, contribute several million dollars to Ontario’s farm economy. The four biggest earners are tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers and peas with a combined annual farmgate value of more than $60 million.

DAIRY INDUSTRY

Dairy struggles in post-quota era Milk prices have crashed since European Union scrapped quota system PARIS, France (Reuters) — European dairy farmers, who have been caught in a global market decline as they emerge from a 30-year-old quota system, may have little choice but to continue at full production and hope for a recovery in international prices next year. Milk prices paid to EU farmers are down 20 percent from last year at 45 cents a litre on average, leaving some farms operating below production costs and upsetting the plans of farmers and dairy processors who expanded capacity before the abolition of EU milk production limits last April. The elimination of output limits in the EU has contributed to world

oversupply just as demand has been curbed by an embargo by Russia, usually the biggest buyer of EU cheese, and a reduction in Chinese dairy imports. “The removal of quotas couldn’t have come at a worse time,” said Ian Macalpine, chair of the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers. The slide in prices has revived memories of a previous downturn in 2009, which saw EU farmers dump milk rather than sell it. Protests have spread across Europe this summer with farmers targeting supermarkets in Britain, France and Germany, the EU’s top milk producer and a supporter of the quota abolition.

“Europe is a great place to produce milk. You wouldn’t want to stop producing milk here,” said Kevin Bellamy, senior global dairy analyst at Rabobank. “But farmers will find it difficult to cope with the volatility.” Farm groups are calling for a new form of output regulation, while countries such as France are pushing for an increase in the public intervention price at which producers can sell into storage. The situation comes at a time when Canada is under increasing pressure to eliminate or amend its supply management system, which limits production and restricts imports in exchange for domestic price stability.

HORSHOLM, Denmark (Reuters) — Food ingredients business Chr. Hansen is branching out with products that could displace chemical pesticides as it looks to tap expected rapid growth in biological plant protection. The Danish company has a 140year history of producing bacteria and enzymes for cheese, yogurt and other foods, but recent global trends have served to accelerate its growth. From natural food colouring to probiotic bacteria, Chr. Hansen has fed increased demand for natural products and more western eating habits in emerging markets. The trend has helped lift core profit by 70 percent in the past five years, and the aim now is for its expertise in the screening of bacteria strains to be put to use in another growth market. The company’s plant health business is developing new microbes that can protect plants from pests and help them grow faster without the need for some of the toxic chemicals used today. Its first product, designed for sugar cane in Brazil, has worked as well as the best chemical alternative, said Chr. Hansen chief executive officer Cees de Jong. “In 2017 or 2018, the revenue in plant health will become meaningful; several tens of millions,” de Jong said. Group revenue last year was $873 million, and de Jong expects the company’s diversification will help it to scale new heights. “A few hundred million from Plant Health would make a very meaningful addition,” de Jong said, though he declined to indicate when he expected such levels to be achieved. The sugar cane product, Nemix C, is sprayed into the soil, but future products could be applied in various ways, such as being blended into the seeds or applied directly to the plants, the company said. C h r. Ha n s e n i s f o c u s i n g i t s research on two types of biological micro-organisms: • Biofungicides, which protect plants against disease. • Biostimulants, which increases yields by improving plants’ ability to take up nutrients. Chr. Hansen faces competition in the relatively new biological plant protection sector from industrial biotech company Novozymes and major chemical and agriculture f i r m s s u c h a s B A S F, B a y e r, Monsanto and Syngenta. “I like that in a way because it is a validation that there is something there,” de Jong said. Chr. Hansen estimates that the

A lot of the chemicals that are being used today can probably be replaced by more natural solutions. CEES DE JONG CHR. HANSEN

global market for biological plant protection is worth about $2.9 billion a year and is growing 14 to 15 percent a year, with a projected value of more than $5.7 billion by 2020. The hope is that natural products can eventually take a bigger share of the giant chemical pesticides market, which is worth $57 billion and growing by five to six percent per year, according to Chr. Hansen. “It is a huge field. A lot of the chemicals that are being used today can probably be replaced by more natural solutions, and there will be big benefit for humans and animals,” de Jong said. Chr. Hansen is not aiming to become the largest player but to carve out high-margin niches, such as in fruit and vegetable crops. “We are not going after the major crops, where GMOs are also often used. That’s not our cup of tea. We want to stay with all-natural bacteria,” de Jong said. The company’s strategy also includes more research in human and animal health. The human element involves the use of “good” bacteria from the body, while animal health research will focus on reducing the use of antibiotics in farm animals and promoting faster growth. “Those three areas — human, animal and plant health — will hopefully transform Chr. Hansen, but it won’t happen overnight,” de Jong said. The new research areas sit within the health and nutrition division, which is forecast by the company to increase sales by more than 10 percent a year for the next three years. However, some analysts remain wary. Chr. Hansen shares trade at 36 times the past 12 months’ earnings, while the multiples for rivals Novozymes and DSM are 32 and 18, respectively. “We do not see the options on future business areas justify the (share price) premium,” Alm Brand Bank analyst Michael Jorgensen said in a note to clients, adding that the prospects of the business areas are too long term and uncertain for such a high valuation.

Jersey producer proved official wrong FROM THE ARCHIVES

BRUCE DYCK, COPY EDITOR The Western Producer takes a weekly look at some of the stories that made headlines in issues of the paper from 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago.

75 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 12, 1940 Farmers of every â&#x20AC;&#x153;political faithâ&#x20AC;? from a 100 mile radius braved teeming rain and muddy roads to attend what was described as the largest mass meeting of farmers ever held in the Medstead area of northwestern Saskatchewan. H.W. Thomas disagreed when an Agriculture Canada official told a Canadian Cattle Jersey Club meeting in Toronto that there was no place for the breed on the Prairies. So Thomas set out to prove the bureaucrat wrong by placing each of his cows on R.O.P. test as they freshened. Seventeen of them qualified in the R.O.P., several with silver medal records.

50 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 9, 1965 Farmers in Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake St. John-Saguenay district drove more than 1,000 tractors on local roads and reduced traffic to a crawl in a dramatic effort to draw attention to their demands for government compensation for crop losses. They originally drove two abreast but eventually obeyed police orders to operate in only one lane. Slatted floors were touted as one of the newest features in beef housing. Professor F.H. Theakston of the Ontario Agriculture College in Guelph said the system, which was just being installed in Canada, had great potential for reducing labour required when managing manure.

vinced that genetically modified wheat would solve many of the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems. Ten years later, research continues on this elusive product. As New Orleans struggled to survive in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, American farmers faced a daunting challenge to export crops as the devastating storm shut down key river transport systems and sent trucking costs soaring. bruce.dyck@producer.com

AGRIBUSINESS

Love of farming led to career in animal health A circuitous career path led this senior Boehringer Ingelheim executive from a Saskatchewan farm to the board room BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Susan Blair knew from a young age that she wanted to farm. “I remember writing a school report when I was in fourth grade about wanting to go to the U of S (University of Saskatchewan) to study agr iculture and far m,” said Blair, a senior executive with Boehringer Ingelheim in Burlington, Ont. Blair, who spoke earlier this year

at the Advancing Women Conference — Life Skills for Leadership in Calgary, is able to relate with many women in agriculture, having grown up near Lanigan, Sask., on a grain and cattle farm. Like many prairie kids, she joined the local 4-H club at age 10, taking out a loan to buy her first 4-H steer when she was 11. “I learned the value of a dollar,” she said. “From then onwards, I was very involved in the 4-H Junior Hereford

Association and, when in my 20s, the Saskatchewan Hereford Association.” Blair bought grain land with the backing of her family while earning her bachelor of science in agriculture at the U of S and began her dream career as a grain and cattle producer. “I bought a few purebred cattle to begin building my own herd,” she said. “I also was able to purchase shares in the local feedlot, Pound-

Maker Feeders, which was my thesis topic while completing my degree.” Blair farmed in partnership with her parents, Wilson and Agnes Blair, and shared responsib i l i t i e s a n d e q u i p m e nt w i t h them. She felt she was achieving her life’s pursuit. Apart from cattle, Blair’s main crops were wheat, barley, canola and occasionally flax and oats. Blair bought land in 1983, at a time when land prices were high

and when the price of grain and oilseed were reasonable and yields were good. However, Canada was in the middle of a world trade wars by the mid- to late-1980s, which drove down the price of grain. Interest rates were high and there were years of consecutive drought. “I remember getting six bushel per acre barley,” said Blair. “Interest rates were in the teens and commodity pricing was less than half of what I had planned. I needed to find off-farm income for a few years, which meant leaving the farm.” Connecting with her university network, Blair enquired about opportunities in sales within the agricultural sector, specifically agricultural chemicals or animal health. Blair found a position at an animal health company in Ontario as a sales representative, covering a poultry, swine and cattle territory and selling vaccines and feed additives. In 1992, Blair moved to Alberta to cover a livestock territory with the same company, which allowed her to be closer to Saskatchewan and her family. “It was taking more years than I had expected for recovery with the Saskatchewan ag economy, so I continued my career in animal health,” said Blair. “Over the years, I had developed a strong interest in marketing and in other species areas of the business, so I moved back to Ontario to assume a marketing position with a small animal-pet portfolio.” In 2003, Blair joined Boehringer Ingelheim, a family owned pharmaceutical company. She has held several positions within the animal health division since then, including sales management, business unit management and leading the Wyeth acquisition. She is currently head of the company’s Canadian animal health business. “I am passionate about this industry and the products and services we offer: specialty pharmaceuticals, such as Metacam to advance animal welfare, and vaccines to prevent disease for cattle, swine, equine and pets,” said Blair. She is also a member of the Canadian Animal Health Institute’s board of directors. “Don’t be afraid to try new things or make mistakes,” Blair said. “Stay curious. Create opportunities. Building a career does not happen overnight. It is a step-bystep process that takes dedication and passion. Regardless of what we chose as a career path, how we respond to challenges and change has a huge impact on our happiness and ultimate success. I am a big believer in the value of lifelong learning and in there being learning opportunity in every challenge.” Blair also believes in the importance of mentors. “Having support and a sounding board can build both skill and stamina,” she said.

El Nino casts doubt on Argentina corn crop Farmers fearing the unpredictable weather system may plant more soybeans, less corn to keep losses and costs down BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — The El Nino weather phenomenon is expected to start dumping torrential rains on Argentina next month. The wet weather will push farmers to plant more low-cost soybeans and less corn despite concern over lack of crop rotation in one of the world’s main food suppliers. Argentina expects to get walloped by El Nino-related storms just as seeding gets underway in October. About a quarter of bread basket province Buenos Aires is already under water because of record August showers, and soil may not be able to absorb the rain ahead. This is an additional headache for growers already bedeviled by stiff trade controls and one of the world’s highest inflation rates. “They are likely to hedge their bets this year by planting soy rather than corn, which is relatively expensive to cultivate,” said local farm economist Manuel Alvarado Ledesma. Cheaper-to-grow soybeans have taken Argentina’s Pampas grain belt by storm over the last decade, raising concern that the lack of residual corn stalks and mulch left by other crops is robbing the soil of nutrient. Wheat that had been recently planted has been wrecked by flooding, and conditions for harvesting in December and January might not

This corn field during last fall’s flood in Argentina shows what many farmers fear lies ahead. With an El Nino on its way, many areas could become too wet to grow corn. | REUTERS/ENRIQUE MARCARIAN PHOTO go smoothly if forecasts of the strongest El Nino on record come true, said Anthony Deane of consultancy Weather Wise Argentina. El Nino, marked by warmer than usual air above the eastern Pacific Ocean, tends to increase rain in Argentina while causing dry conditions over the Australia-Indonesia archipelago and Southeast Asia. “It’s going to wreak havoc in northeastern, northwestern and

central Argentina,” he said. Deane said 40 percent of Argentina’s main grain belt is on high enough land to avoid flooding from the October through April El Nino cycle, and he expects areas that are not flooded to enjoy high production. By eliminating the threat of drought, El Nino could be net positive for corn farmers with access to high-placed land, said Martin Fraguio, head of corn industry cham-

ber Maizar. “Highlands are more productive, and thus in El Nino years they more than compensate for losses in the lowlands,” Fraguio said. “Droughts are equally bad for all areas, high and low.” Argentine farmers are expected to plant 6.72 million acres with corn, down 20 percent from the previous crop year, the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange said last month.

Reasons for the projected cut include low world corn prices and the exploding cost of seeds and fertilizers in a country where economists estimate inflation at 27 percent. Farmers also complain about the corn and wheat export quotas that the government uses to ensure ample domestic food supplies. The economy ministry can raise and lower the quotas throughout the year, making crop planning difficult. “Talking about climate conditions in a year like this, plus the uncertainty created by the export quotas, it’s like we’re playing roulette,” farmer Santiago del Solar said. “But if we plant soy and lose, it costs us less than if we planted corn.” Argentina’s leading opposition presidential candidate, Mauricio Macri, said he would lift the quotas. The front-runner ahead of the Oct. 25 election is Daniel Scioli, who is from the party of outgoing president Cristina Fernandez and has yet to outline his farm policy platform. “If Scioli wins and promises an end to the export quotas, farmers will probably plant more corn than they expected to in December,” said Alfredo Paseyro, head of the Argentine Seed Venders’ Association. “That would mitigate the expected decrease in 2015-16 corn planting area,” he said.

Fertilizer market holding steady: analyst

Baltic exporters gaining ground in wheat market

COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE

The relationship between fertilizer and agricultural commodity prices is in line with the 10-year average. | FILE PHOTO

WINNIPEG — Prices for nitrogen fertilizer and potash have weakened during the first half of 2015, but according to an industry analyst, the relationship between fertilizer prices and agricultural commodity prices is pretty much in line with the 10-year average. “I think we’ve seen some stabilization in fertilizer markets of late which is promising,” said Andy Jung, the director of market and strategic analysis with The Mosaic Company in Minneapolis. He noted the fertilizer market ha s s t ay e d re l at i v e l y c a l m despite recent crashes in financial markets and wild swings in the price of crude oil. However, at the same time he points out the devaluation of a number of currencies has put fertilizer import economics under strain in some geographies and likely contributed to some downward pressure on fertilizer prices in the past couple weeks. The price for fertilizer has been generally rising in Canada since last fall when the loonie began its descent relative to the U.S. dollar. However, Jung noted, that in US dollars, fertilizer prices are actually down from 2014. “They’re down from a year ago; a rough average of 10 percent,”

said Jung, adding that while the Canadian farmer was paying more for fertilizer than a year ago, technically, he was getting a better exchange rate for his grain. “It’s an inverse relationship with a number of moving parts,” he said. When it comes to affordability, fertilizers are still in line with their historical norms relative to prices for corn, soybeans and wheat. The affordability metric for particular nutrients is somewhat different though. According to information supplied by Jung, prices for nitrogen are relatively cheaper than average, potash prices are right in line with the historical ratio while phosphate prices are generally less affordable relative to the historical average.

Supply issues in a number of different countries and areas are impacting production in 2015. So far, availability hasn’t been an issue but that could change once harvest begins, said Jung. “If farmers delay purchases for too long there’s a big rush in season once the crop is off the field and you’ll get these localized shortages,” he said. However, with most crops coming off the field earlier than usual, the chances of that don’t appear to be great. One things producers should watch though, is the yields that are coming out of their land, said Jung. “Whenever you have a decent year for yields, you know you had a pretty significant draw on nutrition in the soil, which must be replaced or it will become a limiting factor,” he said.

Prices for nitrogen are relatively cheaper than average, potash prices are right in line with the historical ratio while phosphate prices are generally less affordable relative to the historical average.

HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — Top western European Union wheat exporters face an uphill struggle to win sales against cheaper rivals in the Baltics and Black Sea regions, traders report. “The Baltic states of Lithuania and Latvia had good harvests this summer and have large export supplies which are being offered very cheaply in export markets,” one German trader said. “Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan are together expected to export about three million tonnes more than they did last season after decent harvests this year. I think this will be taken off the EU’s export total.” The EU’s largest exporter France is being challenged by the Baltic region in its traditional markets such as Algeria. “For the moment, from July to September, it’s Black Sea countries (dominating export sales), then Baltic wheat from mid-September through November,” one French trader said. “We are at the back of the pack.” But the drop in Paris prices last week could help struggling French sales with aggressive French offers made in a wheat tender from Egypt. The second largest exporter, Germany, is also suffering from Baltic competition.

VEGETABLE PRODUCTION

Market garden directly involves customers Lois and Wayne Hazell use community shared agriculture to make a connection with the consumers buying their food BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LESLIEVILLE, Alta. — People who farm in west-central Alberta become slaves to the weather. Frost or snow can come at anytime, hail is a constant summer threat and dryness, which stunted this year’s crop, can also be a problem. Wayne and Lois Hazell were up against these challenges when they decided to start a market garden near Rocky Mountain House, Alta. “You can plan, plan, plan and then you have to adjust, adjust, adjust,” Lois told a tour group to Last Hill Creek Gardens Aug. 20. They inherited a quarter section of land in 1994 and decided to convert the former feedlot into a market garden with about 65 subscribers. The gardens cover two acres. In the Hazells’ version of community shared agriculture, customers can buy three vegetable packages of five, 10 or 15 pounds of freshly harvested vegetables for 11 weeks. They drop off vegetables weekly in Rocky Mountain House or Red Deer, but clients also pick up their bags of vegetables from the farm. The bags can include lettuce, potatoes, carrots, zucchini or asparagus. “The first few bags are little bit lighter, but as the season goes on it changes. We are more concerned about the variety. We try to get six t o e i g ht t h i n g s a w e e k ,” s a i d Wayne. “It is all about the weather as to how much variety we get.” They advertise shares in midFebruary so that they know by May 1 how many customers to expect. Many of the plants are started indoors to get a head start and are then transplanted.

LOIS HAZELL LAST HILL CREEK GARDENS

They are chemical free and don’t need chemical fertilizer because the gardens are located in part of the former feedlot corral. Lois has taken prairie horticulture courses, and have made adjustments after years of experimenting and learning from their mistakes. “It is not gardening anymore. It is vegetable field production,” she said. Added Wayne: “In order to have 350 pounds of vegetables in one day, you have to plant differently than a regular garden.” They use row covers to keep insects away from cauliflower and cabbage. As well, they recently added hail nets from Br itish Columbia that are suspended over large patches of delicate plants. They were hailed out last year, which meant that by week six of the season could offer only root crops to customers. They have learned what grows well in their area and plant more than 22 vegetables. They have staff to help with planting, weeding, harvesting and cleaning vegetables. “You learn fast. The big thing is, plant lots because you don’t really know what you are going to get,” Lois said.

SUNFLOWERS

Farmer proves sunflowers work in short growing season BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LESLIEVILLE, Alta. — Roger Bott decided eight years ago that he wanted a challenge, so he set aside two acres of his mixed farm and grew sunflowers. Sunflowers in Alberta are not uncommon, but the idea seemed out of reach for someone living near Rocky Mountain House with its short growing season. “Somebody said you can’t,” he told a tour group to his sunflower field Aug. 20. Most of the farm is the traditional barley, wheat, canola and pea rotation, but he has also tried giant pumpkins, corn and soybeans to see what might happen. Most have survived. He and his wife, Bonita, planted the first sunflower crop by hand on two acres in 2008. It did well so they expanded, and each year they

They do not plant sunflowers in the same place twice. “Wherever the sunflowers are, we will avoid that and go another 10 acres in,” he said.

The product is sold off the farm as bird seed. Customers may take a small bag or a 45 gallon drum full of black sunflower seeds. “Most people, if they can come to the farm and pick up something,

they love doing it as a farm outing,” he said. His pricing strategy is simple: he checks local retail outlets, compares prices and then offers his for a few cents a pound less. The Botts have learned a lot about sunflowers, even after losing crops to weather hazards such as hail or lack of maturity. The entire crop was hailed out last year, but he is optimistic about this year’s field full of nodding yellow flowers. He buys a Pioneer brand called 63A-21 that is adapted to his region. “Longer growing varieties are not for this country,” he said. This particular field was in canola last year, so there are volunteers among the sunflowers, but the Botts do not worry about canola seeds finding their way into an order of bird feed. “With this brand you have no

weed control options. We try to put it on as clean a ground as you can,” he said. He usually buys two bags holding about 200,000 seeds per bag. They go in after the wheat has been planted in early May to avoid frost. They are combined after a killing frost by mid-October. The plants are chopped up when they go through the combine, and the seeds easily fall out of the large heads. The leftover stalks and leaves quickly disintegrate and disappear into the soil. What little residue remains deposits a lot of nutrition into the soil, and Bott has noticed crops such as barley planted into the same spot the following year tend to thrive. The bushel weight is about 30 pounds, and his harvest yields 1,800 to 2,000 lb. per acre. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Sharing water key to future sustainability

European researchers say plans from 50 countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions fall far short of what’s needed to help reduce situations like this one from Singapore. The three-hour Pollutants Standards Index hit unhealthy levels of 100 on Aug. 20, according to the National Environment Agency. | REUTERS/EDGAR SU PHOTO GLOBAL WARMING

Emissions plans called too weak Many countries, including Canada, aren’t impressing researchers with their reduction strategies BONN, Germany (Reuters) — National plans for limiting greenhouse gas emissions fall short of tough action needed to slow climate change under an expected United Nations agreement, European researchers said last week. They said the plans submitted to the UN by about 50 countries representing 70 percent of world emissions are too weak to keep temperatures below an agreed ceiling of 2 C above pre-industrial times needed to avoid the worst effects of warming. The Climate Action Tracker, produced by four European research organizations, assessed 15 major nations’ strategies for the period beyond 2020 and found seven were

“inadequate,” including Japan, Australia and Canada. Six were “medium,” including those submitted by top emitters China, the United States and the European Union. Only Ethiopia and Morocco put forward plans that were rated “sufficient” contributions to limit warming to 2 C. The national plans are meant to be the building blocks of an accord that is expected to be reached at a Nov. 30-Dec. 11 summit in Paris. Many countries, including India, have not yet submitted plans. “It is clear that if the Paris meeting locks in present climate commitments for 2030, holding warming

below 2 C could essentially become unfeasible, and 1.5 C beyond reach,” said Bill Hare of Climate Analytics. Senior government officials met in Bonn recently for the second-tolast session of talks before Paris as they struggled to cut an unwieldy draft 83-page text. Almost 200 governments agreed in 2010 that a 2 C rise was the maximum allowable to avert the heaviest impact of climate change, including floods, droughts and rising sea levels. About 100 developing nations favour a tougher ceiling of 1.5 degrees. Tony de Brum, foreign minister of the Marshall Islands, said weak national plans would have disas-

trous impacts on people living in low-lying islands because of a rise in sea levels. “Our islands cannot survive in a world in which the temperature rises more than 1.5 C,” he said in a speech in Fiji. David Waskow of the World Resources Institute think-tank, said there were some re cent encouraging signs for stronger action, such as a co-operation agreement reached between Brazil and Germany last month. He said the Paris accord should include a mechanism to oblige nations to review their pledges at regular intervals with a view to strengthening them.

GLOBAL WARMING

Australia, New Zealand say targets too high BONN, Germany (Reuters) — Australia and New Zealand say they face unusually high costs to cut greenhouse gas emissions because of their respective dependence on coal and livestock. The defence came after criticism that they are doing too little to tackle climate change. More than 50 nations representing 70 percent of world emissions have submitted strategies to the United Nations for curbs on emissions beyond 2020, which are meant to be the building blocks of a United Nations climate deal due to be reached in Paris in December.

Australia, giving details of a plan issued last month, said its relatively strong economic growth, a rising population and dependence on coal for 64 percent of electricity generation made it costly to rein in emissions. “We think it is an ambitious target,” Australian climate ambassador Peter Woolcott told delegates at week-long talks in Bonn of a goal to reduce its emissions by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. NewZealand’sclimateambassador, Jo Tyndall, the only other developed nation representative at the same session, said her country’s dependence

on dairy farming and sheep was a big source of the greenhouse gas methane, which is produced by the animals’ digestive tracts. The New Zealand target submitted in July of cutting emissions by 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 “would represent quite a significantly higher cost to our economy” than action by many other countries, she said. Still, a Climate Action Tracker, run by a group of scientists, has ranked both countries’ plans “inadequate,” along with plans by developed nations such as Japan and Canada.

It has given a slightly better rating of medium to the United States and the European Union. The United States, for instance, plans to cut emissions by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025, five years earlier than Australia. A problem is that there is no UN mechanism to assess which nations are doing most, or least, to rein in global warming, which the UN panel of climate experts says is causing more heat waves, droughts and rising sea levels. Some nations want the Paris summit to agree on a strict set of reviews for every plan.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — The world must focus on how farmers, the energy sector and cities will share water if it is to achieve the United Nations’ new development agenda, a World Bank expert said. The world faces a 40 percent shortfall in water supplies in 15 years because of urbanization, population growth and growing demand for water for food production, energy and industry, according to a United Nations report published in March. The UN Millennium Development Goals, which had focused attention on the needs of poor nations for the past 15 years, included boosting access to clean water and sanitation. The Sustainable Development Goals, due to be adopted at a UN summit in September to replace the Millennium Development Goals, broadens water from a narrow access issue to a “fundamental rethink” of how it is managed, said Junaid Ahmad, director at the World Bank’s water global practice. “We’re headed into a perfect storm in which over the next 20 years we will see the demand for water growing significantly, driven by thirsty agriculture, thirsty energy and thirsty cities,” Ahmad said. “If we are to achieve these goals of food and energy security, sustainable urbanization and ensure service delivery of water and sanitation to citizens, we now need to figure out how water is going to be allocated across sectors.” Approximately 2.6 billion people have gained access to clean water since 1990, but more than 660 million still live without access, say UNICEF and the World Health Organization. Ahmad said achieving the new water goal and increasing access means not only building pipes but also fixing institutions and improving governance. Another challenge is putting a price on water, he said. “We are in a world in which we are trying to price carbon, but we do not know how to value water.” There is an assumption that water should be free because it is considered a human right, he added. “Free water is probably the most expensive water for poor people because whenever you give out free water, it’s captured by the politically powerful, not by the poor.” Other challenges include climate change, which has made the water supply patchy, and the management of ground water. “Ground water is the biggest source of stored water that we have, and yet it has been progressively abused,” extracted at a faster rate than it is being recharged, he said. More than two billion people still lack access to toilets, but Ahmad is optimistic that the new goal of universal sanitation coverage by 2030 can be achieved. “It took developed countries many years to achieve universal access,” he said.

Agriculture disaster support and firefighting increase spending BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Agriculture disaster relief and one of the costliest firefighting seasons on record and increased government spending added up to boost Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected budget deficit to $5.9 billion. Alberta finance minister Joe Ceci said the first quarter results show an increase of $456 million of disaster assistance, including agricultural drought relief and wildfire fighting costs, in excess of the $301

million allocated in the March 26 budget. The updated forecast is a snapshot of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial outlook from April through June. The updated forecast includes an increase of $1.4 billion in operating expenses, reflecting the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to reverse spending cuts in health, education, innovation and advanced education and human services. Revenue is forecast at $44.3 billion, $1 billion higher than previ-

ously forecast. This reflects a net increase of $497 million in income tax revenue this year, mainly due to the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s introduction of a graduated income tax system that takes effect Oct. 1. The forecast does not take in the continuing drop in oil and gas prices, the government relies on heavily for its revenue. The NDP government plans to table its first budget soon after the fall session convenes Oct. 26. mary macarthur@producer.com FINANCES

Extraordinary firefighting costs and declining oil prices have forced Saskatchewan into a deficit after the first quarter of the fiscal year. Finance minister Kevin Doherty last week said estimated expenses have climbed by $161 million. Revenue has dropped by $237.8 million. The result is a forecasted $292 million deficit at this point. However, Doherty said the government will balance the budget by the end of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This government is not going to raise taxes and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to run a deficit,â&#x20AC;? he told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to borrow more money and place that on the backs of our children and grandchildren.â&#x20AC;? Premier Brad Wall instructed ministers and crown presidents at the end of June to look at potential savings. There is no hiring freeze but Doherty said vacancy management is a huge issue because government spends 75 percent of its money on human resources. As well, some projects and initiatives will be deferred. Agricultural spending is not expected to change at this point. The government had pegged oil prices at US$57.15 in its budget estimates but has now revised that to $49.50. Tax revenue from nonrenewable resources is down considerably. On the expense side, firefighting costs are expected to be up $100 million, while the social services and assistance costs associated with the largest evacuation in the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history are up $31.6 million and protection of persons and property is up $29.4 million. The latter includes provincial disaster assistance funds for flood claims, including outstanding prior-year claims. karen.briere@producer.com

Myanmar aid called inadequate LONDON, U.K. (Thomson Reuters Foundation) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Floods in Myanmar caused by heavy monsoon rains and a cyclone have destroyed crops and killed livestock and will cause food shortages if more aid is not provided, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization said. About 1.6 million people have been affected and more than 100 killed since June, the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.

Cyclone Komen, which hit Myanmar at the end of July, worsened the damage caused by the unusually heavy monsoon rains, and flood waters have inundated a total of 1.4 million acres of farmland, the FAO said. The floods and landslides across the country have destroyed 972,000 acres of standing crops and 36,000 acres of fish and shrimp ponds, and drowned 20,000 cattle, it said. Relief efforts have been hindered by damage to bridges, roads and railways. So far $32 million has been provided for the flood response, according to the Financial Tracking Service, which estimates $100 million will be needed.

Drought model predicts $10 billion in damages LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Global economic losses from drought are likely to reach more than C$10 billion in the next few months as the El Nino weather pattern intensifies, broker Aon Benfield said. Total economic losses from drought in the United States are likely to reach the equivalent of at least $4 billion, mainly due to agricultural damage in California, Aon Benfield said in its monthly catastrophe report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we continue to see the prospect of El Nino becoming one of the strongest in decades, more and more impacts will be apparent around the world,â&#x20AC;? Steve Bowen, associate director of Aon Benfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catastrophe modelling team and meteorologist, said in a statement. The current El Nino weather phenomenon is expected to peak between October and January and could turn into one of the strongest on record. MARKETS

The 55-year-old co-operative, expects to receive 900,000 to one million 60 kilogram bags of arabica coffee this season, slightly less than the one million last year, Cocatrel agronomist Roberto Felicori said. Felicori said the region expects to harvest 30 percent less coffee

this season than it would have produced if not for the drought over the past two years. PROTESTS

France offers farmers aid following protest PARIS, France (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; France has offered its farmers additional financial help including tax rebates and investment aid after they drove 1,500 tractors onto the streets of Paris to protest against falling incomes and rising costs. French farmers, struggling with the effects of Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embargo on western food products and a slump in prices, say higher taxes and stricter environmental protection rules are hampering their competitiveness against European neighbours. The plan included a rise in government support for investment, co-funded by the European Union and French regions, to bring it to three billion euros (C$4.4 billion) over three years. The government will also freeze the adoption of new, mostly environmental standards, allow livestock farmers to postpone all debt repayments due in 2015, and will reduce their tax bills. Police said there were 4,500 farmers and 1,580 tractors in the protest, although the FNSEA put the tractor figure at 1,733. TRADE

Australia says kangaroo harvest sustainable SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Australian government is under fire for lobbying the California legislature to stop a ban on the sale of kangaroo products in the U.S. state, a restriction the industry argues would cripple exports of the marsupialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meat

and leather. Powerful animal rights and democracy lobbyists in California are angry about the way a bill was introduced in the California legislature, just days before the end of the legislative session, following extensive Australian government lobbying and financial aid. The A$200 million (C$185 million) trade of kangaroo skin and meat is an emotive issue. The Australian native graces the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coat of arms and is a major tourism draw, making it a high profile target for animal rights activists who oppose commercial killing. However, with a kangaroo population of about 48 million, more than double the human population, the animal is also considered a pest in many areas. Skins are popular with sportswear manufacturers including Adidas and Nike. WHEAT

Russia wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change export tax VLADIVOSTOK, Russia (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Russian agriculture minister Alexander Tkachev said the ministry has no plans for now to change its wheat export tax mechanism. Russia introduced the tax in July, intended to stop exports surging if the ruble dropped steeply. However, prime minister Dmitry Medvedev has ordered preparations for proposals on the tax regime, giving the agriculture ministry until Sept. 10 to submit its proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For now the market situation is unstable, for now the mechanism remains in place,â&#x20AC;? Tkachev told journalists. Tkachev also said that Russia would harvest between 100 million and 103 million tonnes of grain this year. Grain exports this marketing year are seen at 25 million to 30 million tonnes, he added.

Products up despite sales decline BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DECATUR, Illinois — Tight farmer spending hasn’t slowed the delivery of new technology for agriculture, which was in abundance at the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois. Nearly a section of land was taken up with 300 acres of machinery field demonstrations and 90 acres of booths and displays for about 50,000 farmers and other industry folks who attended the three day event. Six hundred exhibitors were also on site. Highlights of the show included a new mid-sized tractor line from Case IH that aimed at the livestock and forage industry, but large enough for field duty. The Optum, a MFWD tractor with two models, 270 and 300 horsepower, offered only with a CVT and ISOBUS 3 compatibility that lets the implements direct the tractor.

Optum from Case IH. Agco had several releases at the show. An all-black edition of its Challenger 875MT, the X-Edition, drew farmers. It is a fully loaded version of the machine with added creature comforts and in a limited run of 50.

Don’t set it and forget it Farm operators advised to check for grain losses every time conditions change BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It can be an onerous task to stop the combine and check for grain losses every time conditions change, but that’s exactly what operators should do, says Derek Rude of the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute. Rude, who looks closely at the fine line between increasing a combine’s productivity and maintaining acceptable losses, said operators should do this at l e a s t u nt i l t h e y l e a r n t h e i r machine well enough to know exactly what level of loss it produces under various conditions. “The economics show, in my opinion, that it’s worth the time to stop and check for losses,” he said. “We promote the use of loss pans. We think they are as accurate as you can get.

Rude said operators should turn off the chopper and spreader when using catch pans, or use more pans on the left and right sides of the machine if they have to leave them engaged. “When you first start out checking losses, it’s a little misleading because of the small amount of grain in the pan, but sometimes that little amount is a high bushel per acre loss,” he said. “So we really encourage you to quantify that loss with a scale.” PAMI makes a combine scale loss guide available online. As well, card calculators and apps for smartphones will translate the losses captured in catch pans into losses per acre and economic losses if producers know their operating costs. Rude used the example of a quarter section of canola where canola is worth $10 per bu. The combine, with a 40 foot header,

has a one bu. per acre loss at three m.p.h. and three bu. per acre at four m.p.h. The faster combine speed saves the operator 3.2 hours. He tallied the operational cost of the combine at $300 per hour, which he said would be roughly the total cost of a newer combine, including fuel, capital purchase and labor. “So, your loss in dollars per hour at three m.p.h. is $145 an hour,” he said. “At four m.p.h., it’s actually $585 an hour. So by going that extra mile an hour, you’ve increased your loss by $440 per hour. So for that quarter section of land, it actually cost you $2,360 to go that one m.p.h. faster,” Rude said. He said there are other issues to consider as well, including maintaining a grain grade, not only on this field but also on the other fields. However, he said the

example gives operators something to think about when they are setting the combine and ground speed. Rude said PAMI aims for a one bu. per acre loss, but there are other conditions, such as significantly dry canola, where a two bu. per acre loss may be as good as an operator can realistically hope to obtain while maintaining a reasonable speed.

PLANTING

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT COMBINE PRODUCTIVITY AND HARVESTING LOSSES We asked Derek Rude, project manager at the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute, about the top myths that persist about productivity and loss. Here’s what he had to say: there’s separation limits and feeding limits,” Rude said. “If you’re using all of that horsepower through the whole season in every crop and in every condition, you’ll be losing grain at some point.” Rude said the potential for losses is getting higher because of the increased horsepower in new combines.

Myth 1 - A combine’s productivity should be measured by how many miles per hour it can travel when harvesting. Rude said a lot of context is missing when combine productivity is thought of in that way. “There is header width, height to your crop, how high you’re cutting, what the yield is. There are many other variables to factor into the performance of the combine instead of just speed.” Instead, producers should pay attention to the amount of material other than grain (MOG) that goes through their combines. “You have to get the grain out of that MOG, so if yield increases, it doesn’t mean your combine all of the sudden has lost capacity. You’re still getting a certain bushel per hour in productivity, so that’s what’s important.” Myth 2 - More power in a combine creates more productivity. “In some cases, power may be a limiting factor, but in a lot of cases it isn’t. In a lot of cases,

Myth 3 - Keeping the machine full equals higher capacity. Rude said that is true only at significantly low feed rates and ground speeds. He said the loss curve tends to be flat until MOG is increased to the point where the separator and cleaning shoe’s capacity is surpassed and grain is being carried out with the straw and chaff. “At that point, loss goes up exponentially,” he said. “So the idea there are benefits to keeping the machine fuller and driving faster are not necessarily true.” Myth 4 - Combine losses can’t be that bad. Rude said just because a combine cost half a million dollars and its yield monitor isn’t detecting significant losses doesn’t mean they are not happening. Myth 5 - The losses are OK if producers can’t find significant losses on the ground. New choppers and spreaders can

spread over 40 feet, which can make it difficult to find the losses, especially with smaller seeds such as canola.

There are pros and cons for both row sizes BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Myth 6 - A combine can go the same speed with a larger header. “Capacity is all about feed rate,” Rude said. “If you’re going the same speed with a narrow header and you go to a wider header, it doesn’t magically gain capacity in your combine.” Myth 7 - The same settings for one crop are fine for the entire season. “Our conditions vary so widely even from the morning to the afternoon and back to the evening again, you should be adjusting your settings when your conditions change.” Myth 8 - The loss monitor accurately measures losses. Rude said producers need to ground truth what the monitor indicates. It is a relative measure. “So how much does three bars mean? It might mean three bushels per acre, it might mean half a bu. per acre. You don’t know. So it’s really just an indicator,” he said. “In our opinion, they’re not really feeding you much for information you can adjust your combine by.”

ECONOMICS

Small losses can add up over time Canadian farmers harvest grain from 72 million acres each year. Losing only one or two bushels of grain may seem like an acceptable loss, but it translates into hundreds of millions of dollars. Most producers don’t have a common answer for what constitutes an acceptable loss on their farm because it will change from day to day, field to field and crop to crop. For example, if unfavourable weather is on the way, it might make economic sense to speed up and incur more losses than would normally be acceptable because farmers could lose a grade on the crop if they don’t get it in sooner. Producers have to know the cost of the losses they are accruing before they can calculate a level of loss that makes economic sense on their farm.

Soybeans: wide or narrow rows?

Each crop and moisture condition that occurs throughout a day will cause machine losses to change. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTO

Planting soybeans in wide rows has some benefits, but it also has hurdles. Kristen Podolsky of Manitoba P u l s e a n d S oy b e a n G row e r s recently said that going wide for soybeans may not be necessary for many prairie growers. Being a soybean grower herself, Podolsky has some first-hand experience. “From my experience in Manitoba and from the field surveys I’ve conducted, if I had to put a number on it, I would suggest that 60 to 70 percent of soybeans in Manitoba are seeded in narrow rows. Those are seeded with drills, while about 30 to 40 percent are planted on wider rows with planter units, she said. Drill verses planter Planters have been shown to produce a better result in seed placement, which results in a better emergence rate of 82 percent average with a planter as opposed to 72 percent average with a drill. However, planters may have limitations when it comes to going through residue in no-till conditions, or having the ability to apply fertilizer and inoculant. Another big reason producers choose one over the other is due to the type of equipment they own. “Traditionally, we are a small grain and a canola producing province,” said Podolsky. “So, we’ve been adapting soybeans to our system and we’ve had air seeders and air drills on narrow rows. “With growth in other row crops, like corn and sunflowers, more producers have the choice of a planter to work with. And those are going to be in the warmer parts of the Prairies, in south-central Manitoba, primarily the Red River Valley. They are the ones who have the option. These are the areas where farmers have both pieces of equipment. We need to consider other factors, with yield being a top priority.” Podolsky said producers want to close the crop canopy and cover the ground to help maximize photosynthesis. “That happens quicker with narrow rows, especially in our short growing season — shorter than North Dakota and Ontario. “That being said, yields have been shown to be at least equal or greater when they are planted in narrow rows. “North Dakota has shown a two bushel yield increase with soybeans drilled with 10 inch spacing compared to 28 to 30 inches. Manitoba data, we’ve had multiple sites and when we compare wide and narrow rows, the yield is either equal or the advantage goes to the narrow rows.”

The use of a planter gives a 10 percent survivability advantage and, if the season is long enough and rains come on time (as they are generally this year), more space for each plant translates as a better return on investment. Wider rows mean less seed per acre. “So, 10 percent can save you $10 to $15 an acre in seed costs,” said Podolsky. “So, often that will offset a potential yield decline. Or, if you get the same yield, there’s a higher opportunity for profitability.” 15 is the magic number According to Podolsky, the ideal option when using a planter is a 15 inch row. “With that, we have the benefits of the narrow row and of the planter in terms of seed distribution. “That being said, drills with individual depth control coming in big, bridging the gap and giving no till producers the ability to get a more uniform emergence of the soybean crop, almost gives the planters a run for the money.” “At the end of the day, we’re aiming for the same plant population, the same live plant per acre — anywhere from 140,000-to-150,000 plants per acre,” said Podolsky. “To get that, the seeding rate does differ because of the survival differences.” She said an air drill, normally looks at about 200,000 seeds per acre, compared to a planter where some growers go as low as 170,000. The wider the row, the more time it takes for the canopy to close and shade the gap. That is a critical time, as weeds are very competitive with soybeans. Although weather and disease pressure are hard to predict, weed pressure is a bit easier to control. “Weed scientists are not fans of wide rows in terms of managing weeds,” said Podolsky. “Soybean crops are less competitive. When you’re going in with your herbicide, you might need to go in and make sure it’s done in a timely manner. Some growers have the option to till between the rows as well. “Another factor to keep in mind with soy is gentle seed handling and understanding the seed survival you’re achieving on your farm. “It’s important to know how many seeds you put into the ground and compare that to how many emerge. Then, try to identify the reasons for lower survival. “Ask yourself important questions, like, ‘should you be using a conveyor? Is it your depth control? Is it due to soil conditions or disease and insects (factors other than equipment)?’ “So, fine tuning the operation and understanding where the problem is coming from before you make an investment into anything else is critical.”

CONSIDERING THE BENEFITS

Making a case for adopting precision agriculture PRECISION HAPPENS

TERRY A. BRASE

ometimes from my perspective as a precision ag educator, I assume that every grower that knows about precision farming, does precision farming. Ten years ago, only a few farmers had heard the term, and fewer understood it. Now at 25 years into precision ag history, it could be considered mainstream and most farmers know what it is. There are growers who choose not to participate or incorporate the technology into their operations; not that there is anything wrong with that. These growers have made a conscious decision not to invest in the technology. The benefits of precision farming seem to be well established. Economic returns, environmental value, efficiency of land use, decrease of fatigue, and time savings have been well documented, though I’m guessing there are people that would disagree.

There are many reasons farmers might give for not using precision agriculture tools, but those who have not adopted the practices might want to rethink their positions. | FILE PHOTO This subject came up when talking with my brother-in-law, who could be loosely defined as a gentleman farmer (the gentleman part, not the farmer). He was surprised by my estimate of plus 50 percent of U.S. farmers that use at least one precision farming practice. I believed my 50 percent estimate was pretty conservative, yet he insisted that almost nobody does precision farming in his county, which will remain unnamed to protect the innocent county.

I visit this county on a regular basis and I have seen combines out in the field and applicators lined up at local retailers with GPS receivers on them. That may not mean anything because I have seen plenty of receivers on tractors and combines that are there more for decoration than for location. I am also sure that these growers read a variety of farm magazines and most of those have regular articles about precision technology. I am also guessing that these farmers hang out in a coffee shop

and talk farming, including technology. The point is these growers have had plenty of opportunity to learn and be aware of precision farming technology. So why do growers decide to not use precision farming? I hear plenty of excuses when I talk to growers that don’t use precision ag. When they learn I am a precision ag educator, they all feel the need to explain why they don’t do precision ag. Some say it’s too expensive. This reason is still around, but I don’t hear it like I did in the early precision ag days. Technology has become cheaper and high grain prices have provided some growers with means to purchase technology. When commodity prices drop, that will be the real test. Have growers learned what the technology can do for them, or will they once again say they can’t afford it? Another reason some farmers give is that it takes too much time. Any new device or technique is going to take time to setup, learn, and get used to. Many farmers are concerned about this and therefore will not attempt to start. When discussing precision ag with students in class, most of them will list time saving as a benefit. Long term, I would agree that precision technology is an advantage. However short term; time is more of a disadvantage because of the learning curve. I have also heard people complain with something similar to “darn computers, too much technology.” There are a lot of people out there that have phones smarter than they are. They are frustrated with the buttons, the screen, the apps and all the tools. In most cases, they are afraid that they will break something or accidentally delete a data file. The grower that is unfamiliar with computers and frustrated with a smartphone is unlikely to consider extensive use of GPS and guidance tools. Another reason cited is lack of support. Some older growers will tell me that they want or need somebody to hold their hand in getting used to the technology. They are afraid that there won’t be anybody available to help them after the equipment is installed. It should be noted that though this may be the case sometimes, most

companies have resources for supporting the technology. Growers often complain that if there was training available, they would be able to get started. However, many vendors and retailers do offer some type of training to make sure that their customers can use the technology. The problem is that often the training is in the form of a manual that needs to be read. No variability is a reason given by growers in specific areas and which may be valid. There are areas with limited variability in the soil and without variability there is no reason to use precision farming tools. But although variability drives precision ag, it is not the only reason. Guidance and auto shut-off systems are other uses that are not based on variability. I got the excuse of too small of fields or acreages when I was working with a college in California. With small plots and a large variety of crops (everything from strawberries to broccoli to grapes), they insisted that precision ag and GPS had no place. For any small acreage grower, more acres may be needed for investment cost recovery of a guidance or shut off system. If it doesn’t pencil out for small farmers to buy those systems, they shouldn’t. But the small grower doesn’t have to use precision technology in the same way as a large grower. It can still improve efficiency. These excuses can categorize into a couple of generalized reasons: Lack of interest — A grower that doesn’t use a computer, isn’t interested in analyzing his production and doesn’t like to find new ways of doing things is not going to invest the time or money. Lack of patience — A grower that doesn’t want to wait for results. Plug and play is the key phrase and I think of the Christmas present under the tree that says assembly required. There are few precision ag technologies that don’t require assembly or setup, training, and time to figure it out. If a grower decides not to invest, it is the grower’s choice; not that there is anything wrong with that. Terry A.

SOIL

CT soil scan outshines what microscope can do University of Guelph researchers build better tools to focus on the relationship between soil health and crop yield BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

What goes on in the soil at night might surprise a lot of people. It’s not the relaxing, sleepy scene some might imagine. Roots are forcing their way past rocks and a wide assortment of types and sizes of creatures from bacteria, to worms and gophers are on the move. It can be pretty chaotic at times, according to Richard Heck, a researcher at the University of Guelph in Ontario. “ There’s always something happening down there. We get a complete view from the perspective of a plow layer,” says Heck, explaining that the X-Ray CT soil scan has made the microscope virtually obsolete in many areas of science. He says he’s able to pick up more detail with CT than with any other analytical device. Heck is part of a group of soil scientists with members around world. Together, they used CT technology to take detailed pictures of what happens below the surface. Funding came from Agriculture Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Program, Ontario Agriculture and Grain Farmers of Ontario. “We’re closely examining conventional tillage, no-till, intercropping, different rotations and other management systems,” says Heck. “Not only as a single snapshot in time, but we do CAT scan samples throughout the year to observe changes in soil structure. “There’s wetting and drying, shrinking and cracking, freezing and thawing, tillage and compaction, a lot of forces and processes taking place within the soil at differ-

There’s human activity and natural activity.” The soil scan instrument is slightly different from the medical CT scan. In a medical machine, a person goes in and lays down. The machine spins around the patient

because they need the body to remain as still as possible. Soil scanners are called pre-clinical scanners. The sample rotates around the machine. It yields similar information as a medical scanner and produces the same kind of

three dimensional view, only of a soil sample instead of a human body. “The machine I use in my project work in Brazil is new and it’s state of the art. It works very quickly. The one I use here at Guelph is very

slow in comparison. It might take my scanner three hours to generate a high resolution 3D image. Heck says the scan allows researchers to evaluate the re-organization of particles that takes place within each particular soil. They examine the kind of pores that are created by human activity on the surface and scrutinize the nightlife below the surface. Soil biodiversity has become a buzzword in the past 20 years, as scientists and society develop an understanding of how microorganisms play a role in breaking down organic material and cycling nutrients. While most farmers realize that biodiversity is important for a healthy soil, Heck concedes there are still producers who view soil as nothing more than a growth medium into which they dump nutrients, seeds, water and crop protection products. “On the other hand, soil is more than just a bucket of nutrients,” he says. “Talk to greenhouse people who work with hydroponics and really simple growth mediums. They face big challenges in disease and pest management, and also in the timing of nutrient release. “As you degrade the soil structure, the amount of resources you need to put back in the soil to maintain yield increases.” Information gathered from the CT soil scan research will be used to develop soil quality indicators, which can be applied by Ontario growers in managing their cropping practices.

GRAIN STORAGE

Growers reminded to take steps to protect against grain insects BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers might find themselves too pressed for time during harvest to worry about proper grain storage, but even a few spare minutes cleaning yards and sanitizing bins can help. Brent Elliott, infestation control and sanitation officer with the Canadian Grain Commission, says growers should start by ensuring bins have been thoroughly swept or vacuumed before refilling. “Basically, you want to get everything out of that bin that you possibly can,” said Elliott “Maybe there’s a just little bit of residue left in your bins … but it’s probably enough for a couple of hundred insects to live on pretty happily.” According to Elliott, the most common insects that survive in stored grain — the rusty grain bee-

tle and the red flour beetle — are as likely to be found outside the bin as inside. Old piles of spilled grain in the bin yard provide a good habitat for the insects, who can then move into bins when the weather outside gets cold. Ensuring that grain is properly conditioned is another effective preventive measure. To reduce the chance of infestation, cereals should be stored at a moisture content lower than 14.5 percent and no warmer than 18 C. Grain temperature should be monitored during harvest and after freezeup. Grain that is augered in at temperatures of 20 C or higher is more prone to insects. Even when outside temperatures drop significantly, grain in the core of the bin will be well insulated and will retain its heat. “You really want to get all of your

grain throughout that bin down to at least 18 C, and we even say 15 C at times,” Elliott said. “At 15 C, you’re not killing any insects but they’re not reproducing and they’re not feeding.” During harvest, growers should consider running aeration fans at night to cool down grain. Additional aeration can be used during the dead of winter. Under the right conditions, winter aeration can reduce grain temperature to below 0 C, which can kill insects. “Our cold winters are a wonderful, wonderful tool, if we remember to use them.” Elliott said grain insects that have found temporary summer homes in spilled grain piles outside a bin will begin looking for warmer living quarters when fall temperatures begin to drop. brian.cross@producer.com

MANAGING MONEY

Program starts with good DNA Attention to genetics helps cattle breeders create a selection index and improve herds

Penny-wise production pays off Data collection vital to turning a feedlot profit BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Jim Lynch Staunton describes the genetics program undertaken at the family’s Antelope Butte Ranch north of Lundbreck, Alta., during an Alberta Agriculture information event and tour focusing on genetics and management Aug. 26. | BARB GLEN PHOTO

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

LUNDBRECK, Alta. — The cattle are DNA tested, their expected progeny differences analyzed and from that, a breeding program is developed. That attention to genetics allows the Lynch Stauntons to accurately select for desired traits in the cowcalf herd on their Antelope Butte Ranch north of Lundbreck. Hugh Lynch Staunton and later his sons Jim and Tom have been collecting data on their herd since the 1980s. However, the more recent ability to gather DNA data and accurately identify the sire of calves has led to a selection index they use to develop their herd in the desired direction. “When we started selecting specifically on performance numbers, we ended up getting average looking cattle,” Jim said while standing in a foothills pasture during an Alberta Agriculture genomics event. “They’re just ordinary cattle and we’re not going to get any real monsters. We’re not going to get anything really showy. We’re getting cattle that we don’t have to touch and can live on cardboard.” Breeding by the numbers can

have its drawbacks. Jim said it led to cattle that he deemed were slightly too small, which they remedied by tweaking the breeding program and bull selection. “I think that’s important, to have a moderately sized animal, but I think we just went too far. We’re going back in the other direction now.” The herd is expected to graze throughout the year and get at least half its needed nutrition from winter grazing on the hardy grasses along the foothills and eastern slopes of the Livingstone Range. Cows that can look after themselves and their calves while achieving certain weights and carcass values are the primary goal. “Mainly what we want to do is to continue getting a cow that you don’t have to touch, and something that will fit our environment and fit our market well,” said Jim. “(It’s) more important than carcass traits because I think as soon as you try to genetically get to hit some market, by the time you get there, the market w ill have changed. So I think it’s more important to worry about profitability on your own place, in your own environment, under your own management.” Tom, who is with Livestock Gentec at the University of Alber-

ta, told those on the tour that patience is a virtue when it comes to genetic selection. It takes time to see the results of a breeding program — at least two years to a first calf and then several years beyond that. “We do make tweaks to the selection index as time goes on, and the genetic evaluation is sort of revamped every five years,” Tom said. “The trick is that in tracking genetic improvement, you have to kind of wait, give it time, that five to 10 year time frame. And the thing is, we hate waiting to see if we’re making any improvements, so we have to be very patient when we’re using selection indexes.” Knowing the DNA and indicators from sires improves the quality of data by 50 percent, said Tom. Blending that data with female genotypic values could result in accuracy of up to 60 percent in the progeny. Quality of genomics information depends on the size of the population tested, the number of DNA markers identified, the number of animals with available genotypes and the integrity of the genomic records, said Tom. However, this data allows breeders to more accurately pre-

dict birth weights, weaning weights, yearling weights and back fat, while avoiding birthing problems and genetic defects. Larry Sears, who operates the Flying E Ranche near Stavely, Alta., has been collecting carcass data on his animals for more than 10 years. The data has resulted in 67 percent of the cattle in his feedlot grade AAA, compared to 54 percent five years ago. Sears uses IdentiGEN, the company that does genotype assays using DNA samples. His operation has had DNA sampled from calves and bulls for the past three years. “The DNA samples through IdentiGEN gave us some insight as to what the bulls were doing on any particular cow,” said Sears. The sire genetic information, when coupled with EPDs, has led to higher carcass grades in offspring. Sears also attributes improvements to low-stress weaning, getting weaned calves on feed quickly through the use of creep feed and applying implants at weaning rather than at branding. The latter is a result of advice that showed implants are better applied when calves are on a rising plane of nutrition. barb.glen@producer.com

STAVELY, Alta. — Pennies add up to big dollars in the feedlot business. At Leighton Kolk’s 15,000-head feedlot near Picture Butte, Alta., one penny saved on cost of gain, at 3.1 pounds per day, 365 days a year on 10,000 head, could mean an additional $113,000 per year. Kolk talked about his approach to feedlot information management Aug. 26 at an Alberta Agriculture sponsored session and tour focusing on data collection and genomics. “For our little operation, one penny cost of gain per pound, and we do 3.1 lb. a day through the whole population, if I can change one penny, which isn’t that hard to do if you pay attention to your rolling quality, your bunk management, your vaccination protocol, your hiring policy, whatever … If we stay full, 10,000 head at the home yard for 365 days, that pays somebody’s wages and then some. It’s the power of the little things.” Kolk uses several data collection programs, including one developed locally called Athena, to track animals from their arrival as feeders to their departure as fats. Information is gathered on vaccinations and implants, treatments, nutrition and health. Grid marketing is the focus, with efforts made to reduce any discounts from overweight cattle, dark cutters and those older than 30 months. The feedlot also seeks to attain any available premiums, such as those for Triple A or Sterling Silver programs. “If they like it, they’re going to pay more money,” said Kolk. He markets most of the animals to Cargill, which provides carcass data on every animal shipped. That allows the feedlot to measure its success and make changes where necessary. Carcass quality is addressed through improved pen flooring, more bedding to reduce hide tag, attention to animal welfare and emphasis on low-stress handling. “We’re really kind of into low stress handling of cattle,” he said. “We use as much cattle psychology as we can.” Experts on handling are brought in once a year to provide a refresher to the feedlot’s 20 employees.

For our little operation, one penny cost of gain per pound, and we do 3.1 lb. a day through the whole population … If we stay full, 10,000 head at the home yard for 365 days, that pays somebody’s wages and then some. It’s the power of the little things. LEIGHTON KOLK FEEDLOT OPERATOR

We’re not going to send them stressed and bruised and freaked out on the last day.” A review with employees and the veterinarian is also done each year before the fall calf run to examine mortality and illness in last year’s animals and seek improvements. Kolk said a program through Elanco allows him to compare his animal health data with other feedlots in the area to see if certain illnesses or conditions are more or less prevalent in his feedlot. barb.glen@producer.com

ith so much depending on the outcome, the choice of which antibiotic to use on their animals, or if one is necessary at all, is one of the most difficult decisions facing ranchers and feedlot owners. One article cannot hope to clarify every combination but a strategy that combines solid animal management knowledge and veterinarian advice should offer the best route. By reading the label, producers can find out which products have been cleared for which diseases. This provides information on what types of diseases and what organ systems the antibiotic will get into. Most antibiotics, especially the new ones, will need a prescription from a veterinarian. This ensures producers are aware of the conditions it is used for, dosage, method of administration and withdrawal times. Veterinarians base their decisions on whether to provide antibiotics on several factors. First, are antibiotics necessary or will convalescence be enough? If there is no bacterial infection or expected, antibiotics may be unnecessary, such as in cases of viral infections. On large mature cattle or feedlot animals, the meat withdrawal times need to be considered. If a condition becomes chronic, slaughter may be an option. If daily care is better, can we accomplish that? Or is the next best long-acting product the way to go? Other considerations are the ease of use with a syringe (especially important in winter), dosage

amount, safety of the drug, means of administration (subcutaneous, oral, intravenous) and cost of the product per treatment per day. The cost per day is really the best way to compare treatment costs. The longer-acting products cost more because they last longer. The upside is less labour and subsequently less handling and lower stress on the cattle. This may be nullified if other procedures or painkillers must be given on a daily basis. The main decision veterinarians and farmers make is based on the conditions, the organ system involved and the causative bacteria. From these three main things, the most appropriate first, second and third choice of treatment are made. These three choices might be made in a different order on different farms based on farmer preference, previous results or current research results. There is almost never a simple

one choice product. A few antibiotics are called broad spectrum, meaning they work against a wide array of bacteria in different organ systems. The older sulphonimides, as well as newer drugs like Nuflor, Resflor or Excenel, are fairly broad in their effect. Other drugs are for specific treatments, such as for pneumonia. The macrolide antibiotics are a class of drugs that get into the lungs. Drugs such as Zuprevo, Draxxin, Zactran and Micotil are all macrolides and are used primarily for bacterial pneumonia and only a few other things. Veterinarians may prescribe them for other specific problems, such as seminal vesiculitis in young bulls, but there will never be a label claim against these oddball infections. A veterinarians’ experience becomes valuable in providing an extra label prescription.

There are two big classes of bacteria; gram positive and gram negative. Clostridial infections, such as blackleg or anthrax are caused by gram-positive organisms. We were always told at veterinary school “p” for positive and “p” for penicillin. This older antibiotic is still effective against certain conditions and most veterinarians still use it on occasion. Diseases such as blackleg produce toxins and the animal succumbs quickly so prevention in the form of vaccination is the only effective way to prevent it. Proper dosage is also important. Twice as much as necessary will not be more effective and will only cost more and cause a longer drug withdrawal time. The safe rule is, if you double the dosage, you double the slaughter withdrawal. In specific disease entities, supplemental drugs such as painkillers, anti-inflammatory medications or appetite stimulants can be given in conjunction with antibiotics to quicken or improve the response. The selection of the appropriate medication for the specific disease takes thought. A major time saver is recording what products you use by either the active ingredient or trade name, and list the diseases it works well against, as well as the dosage. Have a first and second choice. This will help make sure the appropriate product is given, especially by new workers. Post drug dosage charts by the chute and have the slaughter withdrawal periods listed as well so drug residues don’t become an issue. As well, it’s a good idea to have epinephrine handy in case of a drug reaction with the appropriate syringes and needles in a treatment kit.

PED virus has evolved into different strains; signals need for strict biosecurity Scientists estimate half of all sows in the U.S. are positive for various strains of the deadly virus BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Different strains of the deadly porcine epidemic diarrhea virus have been identified in the United States and Canada. Swine veterinarian Dr. Egan Brockhoff of Prairie Swine Health Services said it is no surprise that the virus has evolved, and it is a signal that strict biosecurity in hog operations will always be necessary. Brockhoff gave an update on the North American PED situation during an Alberta Pork conference call Aug. 28. PED has killed millions of pigs in the U.S. and thousands in Canada. It is nearly always deadly to young piglets and reduces productivity in older animals.

“There’s no question that a significant portion of the U.S. herd remains positive,” he said. “We estimate approximately 50 percent of the U.S. sows are positive for a number of different PED strains. It appears that there’s approximately three PED strains and one delta coronavirus strain circulating through the U.S. sow herd.” Quebec, which has had 16 barns infected with PED since the virus was first found in Canada in January 2014, has also identified multiple strains. That said, Quebec has eliminated the virus in 11 of those 16 hog operations. Ontario is also steadily eliminating infection among its 84 affected premises, Brockhoff said.

The single infected barn in Prince Edward Island is now free of infection, and Manitoba is near to PEDfree status. He warned against complacency, particularly as fall and winter approach. PED favours cooler temperatures, and cold weather makes biosecurity more difficult. “The virus is still circulating, and we’re still moving lots of pigs back and forth between provinces and across the border,” he said. The number of new cases reported weekly in the U.S. continues to decline because of a better understanding of the virus, as well as vaccination and more attention to biosecurity. American producers have access to vaccine, but Canada can only use it in emergency situations.

“Canada still doesn’t have a licensed PED vaccine, but we do have PED vaccines that are available in the United States for emergency for pork producers,” Brockhoff said. “They are available in Canada as well.” However, veterinarians do not recommend vaccinating herds that do not have PED unless there is a high risk of infection for some reason. “We haven’t seen much of the vaccine used in Western Canada, and it will be our recommendation that we just hold that line if possible.” Dr. Kurt Preugschas of Innovative Veterinary Services gave an update on the use of dried porcine plasma, a feed protein additive that was the original vector for PED in Canada. “The feeding of porcine plasma

and other porcine byproducts continues to be a relatively high risk for biosecurity on your farm,” he said. Porcine and bovine blood products are made at the American Protein Co. plant in Calgary, which keeps separate lines for products made from the two species. Preugschas said all porcine blood products come from animals in Western Canada and all bovine blood comes from Alberta. Local supply from sources negative for illness reduces risk. However, he recommended that producers consult with their herd veterinarian about whether to feed bovine or porcine blood products to their animals. barb.glen@producer.com

One year after the Western College of Veterinary Medicine’s new building officially opened in 1969, veterinary students were eager to open the college’s doors to the public and share information about their new profession. Inspired by the annual shows at other universities, the veterinary students developed the concept for Vetavision — veterinary medicine’s version of a public open house. The new show, which organizers decided to hold every three years, garnered widespread enthusiasm from WCVM students who were determined to make the project a success. With the support of WCVM Dean D.L.T. (Larry Smith), the students chose Nov. 1214, 1970, as the date for WCVM’s inaugural Vetavision. The students’ leader was veterinary student Brian Svenson (“The Boss”) of High River, Alta., a member of the WCVM’s Class of 1971 and the college’s first Vetavision co-ordinator. Planning for the first show began in 1968 and soon involved the entire school body. Students organized activities, displays, talks and tours that would catch the public’s attention. WCVM faculty also contributed space, equipment, funds and advice — but the students made all of the major decisions since Vetavision was their brainchild. Through the efforts of Svenson and his representatives who had promoted Vetavision at veterinary conventions across Canada, the first WCVM open house was an outstanding success that attracted thousands of people and students from all over Western Canada. From the always-popular Kiddies’ Korral and tours of the microbiology labs to an impressive reconstruction of a rearing horse’s skeleton, Vetavision offered information and activities that interested people of all ages. But it was the students’ enthusiasm for their profession that many visitors considered to be the most impressive aspect of Vetavision. Always on hand and and eager to answer questions, the students’ knowledge and willingness to engage the public resulted in the success of Vetavision and cemented it as one of the WCVM’s most important community relations efforts for many decades to come. Forty-four years later, WCVM students are preparing to host the 2015 version of Vetavision from Oct. 2-3 at the veterinary college on the University of Saskatchewan campus. Visitors of all ages will have the chance to explore the WCVM’s facilities and learn more about all aspects of the veterinary profession through a variety of demonstrations, tours, talks, activities and displays. Organizers will also host a pre-veterinary night on Sat., Oct. 3, for high school and university students — Western Canada’s next generation of veterinary students.

Congratulating the Western College of Veterinary Medicine on 50 years!

ome days I think I’m about the oldest 45-year-old guy I know. Maybe I am. An “old soul” has been a common description of me, and I take it as a compliment. I’m certain that my “oldness” is related to my father being just shy of 49 years old when I was born and my mother was nearly 38. Having parents a generation beyond the age of the parents of most of my contemporaries was bound to have a soul-aging effect on me. But I’m feeling my age now because I look at the calendar, count back and realize I’ve been writing this Cowboy Logic column for 21 years. How’d that happen? On July 18, 1994, just a week ahead of my 24th birthday, Cowboy Logic got its first ink on Page 6 of AgWeek magazine. I’d been writing freelance news stories for AgWeek, and the editors asked me for something a little lighter to run on the editorial page. I had to be an old soul for them to give a 24-year-old cowboy free rein on 600 words worth of ink and newsprint every week. Kind of like leafy spurge, but

hopefully more appreciated, it spread from there. North Dakota Horizons magazine picked the column to run on its glossy pages four times a year. I reached Canadian farmers and ranchers with The Western Producer. I’m in the Capital Press out in Salem, Oregon, the Cattle Business Weekly in Philip, South Dakota, and the Nebraska Fencepost in Ogallala, Neb. Papers and magazines in Kamloops, B.C., Great Falls, Montana, and Boise, Idaho, have also dedicated space to Cowboy Logic over the years. It’s probably run in a few papers that never minded tracking me down to send a little remuneration for my words, and that’s OK. My mother wrote a column for about 30 years in our local weekly paper called Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch, right up until her passing. She wrote them out in longhand on a yellow legal pad, and I think she got $20 a column. Someone rather innocently asked her once what she had to pay to get that space in the paper. They figured it was like buying advertising. They were pleased to find out that she actually got paid a little for writing it. I’ve been pleased, too, that a handful of papers and magazines in the western United States and Canada have been willing to pay me for writing. Every dollar earned was welcome, especially the year I sold the steer calves for 62 cents a pound. The columns, and the speaking jobs that came from

them, helped skid the ranch across the thin ice of the lean times. I’ve always liked life best when it’s had a lot of variety. I had the variety of all that ranching entails from day to day, as well as communications work for a beef co-operative in seven states and two Canadian provinces, a sales career in animal health for a major corporation, 10 years serving as a state senator and two years as the minority leader, and a fellowship with a foundation that allowed me to study Norway’s oil development policies, travel to the old country and even helicopter out to a drilling platform in the middle of the North Sea. To say the least, my life has been blessed with variety. Now my wife and family and I are embarking on a new adventure as the appointed state director for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Agency. We’ll still have cows and horses, and the ranch will never be for sale, but I am stepping away from writing my Cowboy Logic column as I start my new work. I leave several hundred columns and three books of my past columns in my wake, a website to find them at www.cowboylogic.com and 21 years of good memories. I’m not going too far, so we’ll see you around. And if we meet on a gravel road, I’ll smile and give the customary wave from the top of the steering wheel. Happy trails, folks.

ANIMAL HEALTH

Researchers examine disease immunity in hogs Genetic markers in disease-resistant animals may help improve breeding programs BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Certain animals possess a superior immune system and rarely become ill, and Bonnie Mollard wants to find them. Mallard, an immune system expert at the University of Guelph, is part of a team of Canadian scientists working on a project to take advantage of livestock with excellent immunity. They are hoping to develop a genetic signature for that desirable trait. In July, G enome Alber ta announced a $9.8-million project to improve disease resilience and sustainability for pork producers. A long list of funders, including Genome Canada, Genome Prairie, Genome Alberta, PigGen Canada, Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency and Saskatchewan Agriculture, are supporting research to develop genomic tools to select and breed pigs with robust immune systems. “What we’re attempting to do is look at resilience across a number of diseases in the commercial setting,” said John Harding, a swine health expert at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and one of the project leads. Harding said identifying animals with resistance to a specific disease

is relatively easy because scientists can accomplish it with a small number of animals. Harding and the fellow leaders of this project — Michael Dyck of the University of Alberta and Bob Kemp of PigGen Canada — plan to evaluate the disease resistance of 3,600 pigs. Seven pig breeding companies that belong to PigGen Canada, an industry research consortium, will contribute animals to the project. Healthy pigs will be sent to the Deschambault swine centre in Quebec. Once there, they will mingle with pigs at the research farm that have respiratory and intestinal viruses. “There will be a resident population at that farm that have a number of diseases … just regular hog barn diseases,” Harding said. The scientists will monitor the pigs brought onto the farm to identify animals that remain healthy despite the disease exposure. Other scientists on the research team, including Mallard, have developed tests to predict which animals have robust immune systems and which do not. Mallard patented an immunity prediction tool several years ago called High Immune Response. Canada’s dairy industry already uses it to select cows with superior

disease resistance. Mallard and her colleagues will inject pigs with an antigen, which causes human and animal bodies to produce antibodies to fight the foreign substance. “They (the antigens) are not live and they’re not pathogenic. We developed antigens that are very safe,” Mallard said. She and her team uses blood samples to monitor antibody production and identify pigs that are high, average or low immune responders. Once those tests are done, the pigs will be sent to Deschambault to see if the predictive tool works in a hog production barn. “What we want to know, is do any of those tests predict survivability or performance when we put the pigs into this high challenged facility?” Harding said. “If (the test) is able to predict which of the pigs are going to get sick and which ones are going to be robust and healthy … that’s exactly what we want because then the geneticists can track back the genetic correlations.” The swine experts eventually want to identify genetic markers associated with resistance to a broad swath of diseases. robert.arnason@producer.com

Viterra to buy crushing plant

Quebec-based facility can process soybeans and canola with annual capacity of 1.05 million tonnes BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s largest grain company has finally become a major player in the oilseed processing business. Viterra has announced it will buy the largest oilseed crush facility in Eastern Canada for $190 million. The facility in Becancour, Que., is owned by a Malaysian company, Twin Rivers Technologies Holdings Entreprises De Transformaiton De Graines Oleagineuses Du Quebec Inc. The swing plant, which can process either soybeans or canola, was commissioned in

2010 and located on the St. Lawrence Seaway between Montreal and Quebec City. It has the capacity to process 1.05 million tonnes of oilseeds per year. Viterra president Kyle Jeworski said the facility extends Viterra’s reach. “It really expands our presence in Eastern Canada,” he said. The company’s only other eastern assets are an export terminal and sales office in Montreal and two port terminals in Thunder Bay. The sale also bolsters the company’s oilseed processing business, which up until now consisted of a specialty canola oil facility in Ste. Agathe, Man., which has the capacity to crush 350,000 tonnes of canola per year. It produces nongenetically modified expellerpressed oil. Competitors such as Bunge, Archer Daniels Midland, Cargill, Richardson International and Louis Dreyfus all own sizeable plants in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. “It’s a very crowded marketplace in Western Canada. That’s one of the appeals of the plant in Quebec,” said Jeworski. “We think it’s a very nice strategic fit rather than potentially putting another asset on top of a very, very competitive and one could argue overbuilt situation in Western Canada.” The plant is located close to markets for meal and oil in Eastern Canada and northeastern United States. However, it is long way from where the canola is grown in Manitoba and

Saskatchewan. Some analysts feel that was the downfall of Legumex Walker’s crush facility in Warden, Washington, which is currently for sale. Jeworski said that is comparing apples to oranges. Viterra’s new facility is a swing facility that is located near a lot of soybean production in Ontario and Quebec. Soybeans typically account for half of the plant’s crop volumes. They will also be bought from Ohio and Michigan as well as Saskatchewan and Manitoba as acreage increases in those two provinces. He said the plant also has more logistical flexibility than the Legumex Walker plant because it can ship and receive product by truck, rail and ocean vessel. That means Viterra can bring in product from its port terminal in Montreal and its two port terminals in Thunder Bay as well as by rail and road. Jeworski said origination is not going to be a problem and in fact will be the reason the plant will be more efficient. It has been operating “significantly below capacity.” “As long as the economics justify we will look to operate the plant at full capacity,” he said. “I don’t think there is any hard and fast rule for us of what we’re going to crush. It’s going to be the market conditions that really dictate that.” Viterra has no immediate plans to further expand its oilseed processing business. The near-term focus will be fully integrating the Quebec facility into its operations once regulators approve the sale. That doesn’t mean the company is done adding processing capacity. “Things like crushing make sense to us, so I would never rule out opportunities in the future to expand our presence on the crushing side,” said Jeworski. sean.pratt@producer.com

TAX POLICY

It’s all about timing when deferring capital gains

GRANT DIAMOND

isposing of farm property usually results in capital gains, which are taxable. However, it is possible to postpone such gains by deferring them if the farmer plans to replace the property in the future. The decision will be based on the timing of the acquisition of the replacement property. There are two types of property disposal: • Involuntar y disposition, in which the property has been lost, stolen, destroyed or taken over through expropriation or bankruptcy. • Voluntary disposition occurs when farmers sell or swap assets that are designated former business property. This usually refers to real or immovable property such as land and buildings. The timing requirement is different for each type of property disposal. To qualify for the deferral in an RENEWABLE FUEL

Biofuel plants close in U.S. CHICAGO/NEW YORK, (Reuters) — The closure of two ethanol plants last week and proposed sale of a third highlight the growing challenges faced by small producers located far from cheap feedstock supplies in the U.S. corn belt. Profit margins are shrinking across the U.S. ethanol industry, which produces about 15 billion gallons a year of the biofuel mainly from corn, as oil prices have sunk to the lowest in 6 1/2 years. Fuel use overall is slowing as the busy summer driving season winds down. The biggest producers such as No. 1 Archer Daniels Midland and Green Plains said they have benefited this summer from better-thanexpected fuel demand as low gas prices have boosted driving. And their plants are in the heart of corn country, where they can rely on ample supplies, sometimes delivered straight from farmers’ fields. But plants such as those in Wyoming (Wyoming Ethanol) and Virginia (Vireol Bio Energy) that suspended operations last week were built in the ethanol boom years of the 2000s when U.S. government blending mandates could justify the cost of having to buy rail cars full of corn from hundreds of miles away. That is no longer the case. It’s a difficult environment,” said Andrew Clyde, chief executive of Murphy USA, owner Hereford Renewable Energy in Hereford, Texas, which is also up for sale.

involuntary disposition, the property must be replaced either by the end of the second taxation year after the year of disposition or 24 months after the end of the year of disposition, whichever is later. The time is half that in a voluntary disposition: the end of the first taxation year after the disposition or 12 months after the end of the disposition year. To qualify as replacement property, it must be acquired for same or similar use as the original property and must be used for gaining income from the same or similar business.

The adjusted cost base of the replacement property will be reduced by the deferred capital gain when the new property is ultimately sold or deemed to be sold. For example: New Farms Ltd. has decided to change the present location of its farm by disposing of land, a building and equipment in 2015. All the assets are replaced the following year. Land that cost $30,000 is disposed of for $270,000 and replaced at $300,000. The entire capital gain of $240,000 is deferred. The new cost base of the land is $60,000 for tax purposes.

The building, which cost $50,000 and has an undepreciated capital cost (UCA) of $30,000, is sold for $100,000 and replaced for $150,000. The CCA recapture and the capital gain is deferred. The deemed capital cost of the building is now $100,000, while the UCC balance for CC A purposes is $80,000. Equipment does not qualify for the replacement property rules. Disposition of the property technically occurs only when the proceeds become receivable. Determining when a disposition occurs with involuntary disposi-

tions is a little more complicated. If the replacement property is not acquired in the same year as the disposition of property, the gain is reported in the usual manner when filing taxes for that year. When the replacement property is acquired after the year of disposition but w i t h i n t h e a l l o w e d t i m e, a n amended return may be filed to take advantage of the deferral. All capital gains must be recognized, but it is just a matter of when. Grant Diamond is a tax analyst in Saskatoon, SK., with FBC, a company that specializes in farm tax.
