Protein levels ‘almost off the chart’ for wheat, durum But it won’t translate into premiums at the elevator if all deliveries grade high BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Sky-high protein levels mean farmers shouldn’t expect much in the way of premiums this year, say analysts. The Canadian Grain Commission says the average protein level for all grades of spring wheat is 14.1 percent based on 1,100 samples. The durum average is 13.9 percent based on 500 samples. “Protein at the present time is up substantially over last year, and it’s definitely well up over our 10-year average,” said Dave Hatcher, a research scientist with the commission. The 10-year average is 13.4 per-

cent for spring wheat and 12.8 percent for durum. Hatcher said the sample size is one-quarter of what the commission expects to receive this year, but he doesn’t anticipate levels dropping as more samples arrive. It is the same story south of the border. U.S. Wheat Associates is reporting an average spring wheat protein level of 14.2 percent as of Sept. 25, up from last year’s level of 13.6 percent. The durum crop has average protein of 15.7 percent compared to 15 percent last year. Hatcher said the elevated protein levels are the result of timely rain during the flag leaf and filling stages of crop development fol-

lowed by prolonged hot and dry conditions. Kevin Auch, vice-chair of the Alberta Wheat Commission, hasn’t had time to check protein levels in his crops near Carmangay, Alta., but he expects they will be good. “I have heard of some guys in the area that have really high protein, like almost unheard of,” he said. Auch has spoken to farmers with spring wheat and durum protein levels in the 15.5 to 16 percent range. “It is just about off the chart,” he said. Some growers have expressed frustration about the lack of protein

premiums at their local elevator. The Alberta Wheat Commission tracks protein spreads on its website, and the spread for No. 1 CWRS 14 percent wheat over 13.5 percent wheat was six cents per bushel as of Sept. 2. The spread for No. 1 CWAD 13.5 percent over 13 percent was three cents per bushel. “It just kind of makes sense that if there’s lots of (protein) around, they’re not going to pay,” said Auch. “This is a bit of an anomaly. It’s pretty rare that most everybody gets high protein. That’s unusual. But you get a drought and that’s what happens.” SEE PROTEIN LEVELS, PAGE 3

He said farmers who can afford it might want to store their high protein wheat and durum in hopes premiums will strengthen, depending on what happens with wheat production in other regions of the world. “Just because there’s quite a bit of it on the market right now, it might only take a few months and that will change,” said Auch. “I’m not saying it will because I don’t know the future, but the markets can change fairly quickly.” Neil Townsend, director of G3 Market Research, said demand for high protein wheat does not tend to expand when there is more of it around. “(Customers) are not as interested in protein as we think they are,” he said. As well, they know that grain companies tend to over-deliver on protein in years like this. “If (the buyer) says minimum 13 (percent), they might get delivered 13.5 (percent) anyways in these kinds of circumstances,” said Townsend. He believes this year’s unusual distribution of high protein crops also explains dismal protein spreads at the elevator. “The one thing we’re seeing is these high pockets of protein are in areas where normally there isn’t high protein,” said Townsend. For instance, some elevators might not have much of a track record of paying protein premiums and may not have the proper infrastructure in place to reward farmers. sean.pratt@producer.com

INFRASTRUCTURE

Should Sask. scrap some rural roads? Report on rural communities recommends reducing municipal governments and abandoning some rural roads BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new report on the health of Canada’s rural communities says Saskatchewan should reduce the number of municipal governments in the province and rationalize its vast network of rural roads. Those measures, combined with the adoption of new technologies that improve rural communication, promote entrepreneurship and enhance the delivery of health care and education, will benefit rural communities in the province. “Some real or de facto municipal government amalgamation is long overdue (in Saskatchewan),” says the State of Rural Canada Report, released Sept. 17 by the Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation. “The (province’s) vast rural road network must be rationalized through upgrading some roads and abandoning others,” it adds. The Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation (CRRF) consists of

rural leaders, policy makers and academics who specialize in the study of rural issues. The State of Rural Canada Report is a 114-page document touching on key issues that affect rural communities across Canada. It contains three overarching recommendations: • A renewed focus on rural issues and policy development mechanisms by provincial, territorial and federal governments. • New initiatives that allow rural communities to participate in shaping their own futures. • Corrective steps aimed at healing the “historical trauma” suffered by aboriginal people. In Saskatchewan, the report’s position on municipal amalgamations and rural roads is likely to generate dissent. According to the document, Saskatchewan has more incorporated municipal governments per capita than any other province — a total of 781 local councils including RMs,

cities, towns, villages and resort communities. Together, those municipalities serve a provincial population of slightly more than one million people. That’s a ratio of one municipal government for every 1,323 residents. By comparison, Ontario has one municipal government for every 28,800 residents. Rose Olfert, one of two University of Saskatchewan academics who helped write the report, said rural residents in Saskatchewan are generally opposed to the concept of municipal amalgamation. But she argued that larger regional governments that serve more people would be less costly to operate, more efficient in terms of service delivery and better equipped to initiate large scale projects, which are often beyond the reach of smaller municipal units. “It seems likely that there would be more opportunities to reduce the cost of government if we had

fewer municipalities,” said Olfert, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan’s Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy. “We would all like our own local government, very close to us so we know who they are, we can see them and we can bring our problems to them and expect them to act. “But on the other hand, if we have so many local governments, it becomes harder for them to get together to do some of the things that you really do need a much larger population for … whether it’s a regional waste disposal or water treatment plant …. “ Olfert said smaller government units tend to present logistical and political obstacles that make regional co-operation more difficult. “With so many local governments and so many interests, that cooperation can be logistically difficult and extremely time consuming,” she said. Ray Orb, president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural

Municipalities, offered a different view. He said the problems created by rural amalgamations often outweigh the purported benefits. In Saskatchewan, there are programs in place to accommodate co-operation between municipalities, he added. “When you look across the country … there’s not a really good track record out there for forced amalgamation,” Orb said. “In some cases, it’s created a lot of confusion and I think some hardships among municipal councils and their ratepayers.” Orb also took issue with the notion that Saskatchewan’s road system should be rationalized. “We’ve got a road system in place that we really need, that’s really vital, especially to the ag industry.” Orb said rural councils have a good sense of which roads are under used and require less maintenance. brian.cross@producer.com

ELECTION 2015

NDP sets sights on Sask. ridings

Candidates vie for rural Manitoba votes

Redrawn boundaries have changed the dynamics in some areas BY ASHLEY ROBINSON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The federal election is tightening up in Saskatchewan. The NDP is sitting just behind the Conservatives in the polls, although anti-Conservative sentiment is splitting the vote. A p o l l r e l e a s e d b y Fo r u m Research Sept. 25 pegged the Conservatives at 40 percent, the NDP at 31 percent and the Liberals at 25 percent in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. “The numbers haven’t really moved very much,” said Lorne Bozinoff, president of Forum Research. “The three parties have been pretty much where they are the whole time. Maybe the NDP are down a little bit.” Joseph Garcea, a political science professor at the University of Saskatchewan, said the NDP has historically had a solid support base in Saskatchewan. “In terms of being within striking distance of the Conservatives in most of the ridings … generally the NDP do quite well and better than the Liberals,” Garcea said. The Conservatives won all but one riding in the province in 2011, with Liberal MP Ralph Goodale keeping his seat in Regina Wascana. However, the race between the Conservatives and NDP was close in several ridings. Conservative Ray Boughen won by less than three percent over NDP candidate Noah Evanchuk in Palliser in 2011. This time, redrawn boundaries put the Palliser riding largely in Moose Jaw-Lake Centre, where Boughen is not running for reelection. At the time of the last election, Boughen had been the mayor of

JOSEPH GARCEA UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN

Moose Jaw. The Conservative candidate for this election is Tom Lukiwski, who has been the MP since 2004 for Regina-Lumsden-Lake Centre. “(Lukiwski’s incumbency is) a double-edged sword,” Garcea said. “On one hand, he has government experience. On the other hand, there’s a lot of people who don’t like what the government’s done, and may not like some of the things he’s done, either.” The NDP candidate is Dustan Hlady, who is currently attending university for his teaching degree and doesn’t have as much of a profile as Lukiwski. However, he has worked with municipal governments and interned in the Saskatchewan legislature. The northern riding of Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River has always been a close race. In the last election Conservative candidate Rob Clarke won by less than four percent over NDP candidate Lawrence Joseph. NDP MPs have represented the riding in the past. Clarke is running for re-election, but in the past he has been criticized for not standing up for aboriginal rights, even though he

is aboriginal. Joseph is running for the Liberals in this election, which means former supporters may switch from the NDP to the Liberals. La Ronge mayor Georgina Jolibois is now running for the NDP, which means she may be able to garner support from both the aboriginal and municipal sector. Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar was another close call in the last election with Conservative Kelly Block winning by less than two percent over NDP candidate Nettie Wiebe. The redrawn boundary has sent Block to Carlton-TrailEagle Creek, which means no incumbent is running in the new Saskatoon West riding. R a n d y D o n a u e r, w h o i s a Saskatoon city councillor, is running for the Conservatives in Saskatoon West. “(Donauer) has a very strong network, you know, people who have campaigned for him at the municipal level, so he probably has a fairly strong team, but the NDP tends to be very good at organizing in that area as well,” Garcea said. He said the anti-Conservative sentiment has been a factor in this campaign, which may split voters between the NDP and Liberals. One of the ridings to watch for this is Regina-Lewvan. The Conservatives won quite comfortably in the last election with around 5,000 more votes than the NDP, but no incumbent is running there this time. “All you need is 2,500 voters to switch, let’s say from the Conservatives to the NDP, to, well, win that one,” Garcea said. “The NDP has a really good shot at that one.” ashley.robinson@producer.com

Conservatives, Liberals tied in latest polls BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

RIVERS, Man. — It was the midway point of the federal election campaign, and Robert Sopuck had already travelled 9,000 kilometres in his riding. The incumbent Conservative candidate is taking nothing for granted in his third campaign, and 55,000 sq. kilometres to cover means he has to stay on the road. He said he was among the five MPs who logged the most mile-

age in the last term. “That’s a stat I’m proud of, actually,” he said. Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa is a large riding in western Manitoba. It encompasses what was Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette and portions of Brandon-Souris and Portage-Lisgar. It is also tremendously diverse, with agriculture, forestry, commercial fishing, manufacturing, a dozen First Nations and Riding Mountain National Park. Sopuck, a fisheries biologist by training, says he has participated

in the entire range of the riding’s economy. He has farmed, had an outfitting business, was the provincial fisheries specialist and developed the province’s sustainable environment initiative. He describes himself as a rightwing environmentalist. “I’m very much not afraid to defend what we in rural communities do,” he said. Sopuck handily won the 2011 election with 63 percent of the vote. The NDP was second with 26 percent. Cur rent projections show Sopuck with 46.5 percent, followed by the NDP’s Laverne Lewycky, who held the seat from 1980 to 1984, with 21.6, and the Liberals’ Ray Piche, a former RCMP officer and small business owner, at 12.3 percent. Green party candidate and farmer Kate Storey had 6.1 percent. However, some might be surprised that Inky Mark, another former MP for the area who is a member of the Green party but is running as an independent candidate, could take 13.5 percent of the vote. Mark was elected in 1997 under the Reform banner, re-elected as a Canadian Alliance member and later as a Conservative. However, he was never a fan of party leader Stephen Harper and became an outspoken critic. More than four years after retiring, he’s back on the road, too.

said the man who came to Canada in 1955 as a six-year-old. Mark said he didn’t want to simply hand Sopuck this election win, so he came out of political retirement. “It feels like I never left the job,” he said. The Conservatives held 11 of 14 Manitoba ridings at dissolution of Parliament. Two seats belonged to the NDP and one to the Liberals. However, polls suggest the Liberals are gaining ground, particularly in Winnipeg where the party hopes to pick up seats. A Probe poll done for the Winnipeg Free Press found the Conservatives and Liberals had support of 39 percent of decided voters and the NDP had 18 percent. Liberal support had jumped 10 points since June while NDP support dropped five percentage points. Conservatives have 49 percent support in rural areas and the Liberals 33 percent. Overall, 17 percent of voters are still undecided. The poll surveyed 1,000 people by telephone in mid-September. Long-time Saskatchewan Liberal MP Ralph Goodale said support has been growing steadily and pointed to two byelection results. “We came within a whisper in Brandon,” he said of the 2013 byelection in which the Conservatives’ Larry Maguire took 44.16 percent of the vote and the Liberal candidate 42.75 percent. Just two years earlier, the split was 64 percent to 25 percent for the Conservative and Liberal candidates, respectively. Goodale also said the Liberals improved in the Provencher byelection. “There are gains to be made,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

ELECTION 2015

Prince Albert candidates square off Agricultural issues such as grain transportation important to constituents in this riding BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — Randy Hoback can look across the street from his campaign office and see a row of orange signs. If Lon Borgerson does the same, he sees blue ones. Neither admits to keeping such close tabs on the competition, but with offices across the street from each other, the Conservative and NDP candidates, respectively, could easily keep a sign score. However, it’s the Oct. 19 vote tally they are both worried about. On the “blue” side, Randy Hoback has his track record after seven years in Parliament and strong riding history to rely on. This is, after all, the home of Conservative prime minister John Diefenbaker. Lon Borgerson has a term as a provincial MLA, bright orange sneakers and more than 44,000 views of his YouTube song, Heave Steve (as in prime minister Harper), on his side. Borgerson senses a mood for change. “People want to see the Harper government gone,” he said. “If we don’t lose by a little, we’ll win by a little.” Hoback said people have been quiet during the campaign and that tells him things are going well, but he takes nothing for granted. “We’re running as if we’re 10 votes behind,” said Hoback during a mid-September interview. “We’re working hard to win.” The Liberal candidate is Gordon Kirkby, a former mayor and former MP, and the Green Party is running Byron Tenkink. In 2011, Hoback won with 62 percent of the vote, followed by the

Projections in late September showed the gap at 53 percent to 34 percent, with the Liberals at eight percent or more than double their 2011 showing. Agricultural issues are important in this riding, as is forestry and the public service sector for northern Saskatchewan. Farmers

busy with harvest hadn’t turned much attention to the election earlier in the campaign but both candidates identified grain transportation as a sore spot. “The level of service review is crucial,” Hoback said, referring to examination of the Canadian Transportation Act.

But he bristles at any suggestion that had the Canadian Wheat Board still been in place the backlog in the winter of 2013-14 would not have occurred. He said the transportation system has to work better in the future and the CTA review should set a course of action. Borgerson said farmers tell him grain movement should be equitable across the Prairies and they worry about Canada’s reputation as a reliable supplier. “There should have been something put in place to make the railways and grain companies accountable,” he said. Farmers also say they want guaranteed service levels for producer cars, and more transparency from grain companies. Borgerson noted it was a Conservative prime minister who set up the Canadian Wheat Board in the first place because farmers were complaining about greedy grain companies. But Hoback said the board never comes up in conversations because farmers in the riding are happy with marketing freedom. “They’re glad the long gun registry is gone and not happy at the thought of the NDP bringing it back,” he said. He said business risk management programs continue to be a concern for farmers. They want more crop insurance coverage for certain crops. Hoback said the Conservative government’s focus on securing trade access for grains, oilseeds and meat has been critical to Canadian farmers’ bottom lines. “The winner out of all of this is the farmer,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

PULSE CROPS

Lentil crops poised to make top grade Saskatchewan growers harvested a top-notch red and green lentil crop this year that will be easy to export BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Growers harvested a highly marketable crop of red and green lentils this year, says a major processor. Analyst Stat Communications has a preliminary breakdown of grades with 12 percent of the crop making No. 1 and 59 percent No. 2 in Saskatchewan where most of the crop is grown. Moose Jaw based processor Simpson Seeds believes that is too low. It estimates 15 percent of the crop will make the top grade and 70 percent the second grade, with the remainder in the Extra 3 and No. 3 categories.

“If you’re comparing it to last year, it’s a very huge difference,” said Elyce Simpson, director of marketing and business development with Simpson Seeds. “We had maybe one or two percent of the crop was a No. 1 last year and only 15 percent maybe a No. 2.” If the company is correct, the quality of the 2015 crop will be much higher the long-term average, with 85 percent in the No. 2 or better categories compared to the 10-year average of 74 percent. Red and small green lentils are in slightly better condition than large greens because they were seeded and harvested earlier. Simpson

estimates 70 percent of this year’s crop is red lentils. It has been a few years since Canada had a top-notch lentil crop to sell. There is low damage, good colour and few bleached and wrinkled seeds. Working with quality product makes it easier for splitters to do their job. In the last couple of years, lentil quality deteriorated during the final growth period in late summer and early fall because of a weather pattern of sporadic rainfall interspersed with dry spells. That rain-dry-repeat pattern results in a lentil crop that creates headaches for processors.

“The seed coat just kind of glues to the seed and just makes it a little more difficult to remove,” said Simpson. This year’s crop will be easier to split, but it will also be easier to export because the seeds won’t break or lose their coats during transport to overseas markets. “It just helps in terms of ease of shipment and your buyer on the other end receiving a sound quality.” Simpson said the quality upgrade won’t open up new markets, but it should help ease customer concerns about high green and red lentil prices. Customers felt prices would be

falling because of Agriculture Canada’s forecast of a 2.08 million tonne lentil crop, the second biggest on record. Simpson feels it could actually be 100,000 to 200,000 tonnes larger than that. “The fact remains that there was a huge shortage to fill, and while there was a good supply, we will likely export the majority of this crop this year,” she said. Farmer deliveries have been brisk, and so have exports. “For the most part, it’s moving quite smoothly,” said Simpson. sean.pratt@producer.com

Will fertilizer prices rise next spring? BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

FEED MARKET

It can happen if you just believe Market analysts say farmers cause feed barley prices to rise by thinking it will happen BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Barley growers appear to believe two things: • Western Canada is harvesting a small feed crop this year. • Prices have to go up. Their belief in a small crop might cause prices to rise, says one Alberta feedgrains broker, even though reality might be different. “It almost matters as much (as supply and demand), what the farmers’ mentality is,” said Jared Seitz of Agfinity in Spruce Grove, Alta. “They almost make it happen just by believing. If they all jump on the same bandwagon and they truly believe that prices will go higher, that’s usually what we see.” The western Canadian feedgrains market has been buffeted by conflicting notions of what manner of crop will be harvested this year. The early season drought in the western Prairies created the widespread belief that the regional feedgrain supply would be severely reduced, driving prices higher. Then reports from the harvest suggested many farmers in drought areas were harvesting near-normal crops, confounding expectations. Combined with ample supplies of U.S. corn, the apparently improving crop situation in Western Canada should put downward pressure on prices. However, much crop is still unharvested, and reports continue to be mixed about

FEED GRAIN SUPPLIES ANYONE’S GUESS It is still not clear how much feed grain will be available this year. The barley crop is not large but harvest weather problems might make available greater supplies of feed wheat or other crops. A new model-based forecast from the Canadian Crop Condition Assessment Program pegged the barley crop at just over seven million tonnes. If true, it would be the smallest barley crop since 1967.

the true state of supplies. The recent model-based Canadian Crop Condition Assessment Program forecast of the barley crop pegged production at slightly more than seven million tonnes, the smallest production since the 1960s. But the split between the amount that will be malting grade and how much will be feed won’t be known for weeks. Also, there is a chance weather could downgrade other crops to feed. Seitz said what farmers believe, and that’s because many farmers have shut the bin doors. Because they believe feedgrain supplies

are tight, they aren’t likely to sell or move grain until prices reflect their version of reality. “Most of them are confident that we’re going to see $5 (per bushel) barley again and higher numbers on wheat,” said Seitz. He has found little supply and demand justification for that view but has also witnessed farmer grain delivery “strikes” that have rattled buyers. “It’s something we’ve seen for a few years.” Buyers are “starting to feel a little exposed,” so farmer obstinacy is already becoming a factor. “Even though overall demand is down, they want to have some on the books,” said Seitz about cattle feeders. The biggest wild card is the wheat harvest, which was hit by a combination of weather factors. The impact on quality is hard to assess until the crop has been harvested. Damaged wheat often ends up in the feed market, and no one know how much of that there will be until the grain is in the bin and samples have been graded. “A lot of it comes down to wheat and how much will be available,” said Ken Ball of P.I. Financial. Seitz said farmers don’t seem willing to sell barley at today’s prices and might hang on to force higher prices later in the crop year. If they all hang on together, they might be able to pull it off. “It’s funny how farmers are a band of brothers that way,” said Seitz. ed.white@producer.com

It would be wise to heed the conventional wisdom that fall is a good time to buy fertilizer, says Farm Credit Canada. An FCC analysis of the major factors that influence fertilizer prices suggests farmers should buy before the end of the year. The model concludes that fertilizer prices will likely increase two to five percent from fall 2015 to spring 2016. “If you wait into the new year, it’s probably too late and prices (will) start to jump,” said FCC chief agricultural economist J.P. Gervais. “If there is any drop between now and early (2016), I think that would be a good time to buy.” Rising fertilizer prices at a time of plummeting natural gas prices and lacklustre corn prices seems counterintuitive. “The reality now is that fertilizer prices have decoupled from natural gas prices, and that’s been going on for a number of years,” said Gervais. Corn prices still have an influence, but it is not as pronounced as it was three or four years ago. He doesn’t know why natural gas and corn prices have become less important factors in determining fertilizer prices. “I don’t have an explanation for this,” said Gervais. Today’s real driver is the exchange rate as the faltering Canadian dollar makes fertilizer more expensive. Gervais said the lower the dollar, the more influence it appears to have on fertilizer prices. He holds little hope that the Canadian dollar will strengthen, given the excess oil supply on the market and the likelihood of the United States raising interest rates. “I’m not really bullish on the Canadian dollar,” he said. Dan Mazier, president of Manitoba’s Keystone Agricultural Producers, used to work at the Simplot fertilizer plant in Brandon before it was bought by Koch Fertilizer. At that time, fertilizer prices were heavily influenced by natural gas prices. Mazier is baffled why that relationship no longer exists when he is pricing out nitrogen fertilizer for his farm near Justice, Man. “I don’t get that part of the equation. The price of energy is down. It’s at rock bottom. So what else would be costing more to manufacture fertilizer?” he said. “The pricing is absolutely crazy, what’s going on right now. I don’t know how they justify $700 to $800 per tonne for nitrogen fertilizer and how they jack it up. I don’t get that.” Mazier understands how the weakening Canadian dollar makes inputs more expensive, but he wonders why slumping grain and natural gas prices don’t seem to matter anymore. “I’ve still got a sinking feeling that there’s some other thing going on.” He thinks it might have to do with industry consolidation. sean.pratt@producer.com

CONSUMER TRENDS

Sales from U.S. organic farms hit $5.5 billion Demand is steadily rising and the number of large farms certified organic increased by 15 percent over the last seven years CHIC AG O, Ill. (Reuters) — Sales from organic U.S. farms reached $5.5 billion last year, a 72 percent increase from 2008, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a report that highlighted the consumer trend toward such products. The USDA data, compiled through farmer surveys, showed that milk was the top organic commodity in 2014 with sales of about $1.1 billion. Sales of organic eggs, which are laid by hens raised without cages, totaled $420 million. Demand for organic food, from fruit and vegetables to meat and grain, has risen steadily in the past decade as shoppers have become more concerned about genetically modified products and chemicals used in the food chain. “We need a higher rate of growth in order to get close to meeting the demand,” said Laura Batcha, chief of the Organic Trade Association, after reviewing the sales data. Organic agriculture uses methods that avoid most synthetic materials, such as pesticides and antibiotics. Sales are geographically concentrated, with 10 states accounting for 78 percent of business in 2014, according to the USDA. California represented 41 percent of sales, according to the department. Nationwide, the total number of

Natural and organic retailers saw an increase in sales of nine percent, compared to 1.3 percent at conventional supermarkets. | organic farms dropped by three percent to 14,093 last year from 14,540 in 2008, according to the USDA. The decline came among farms that are exempt from government certification because they earn less than $5,000 a year from organic sales. The number of larger farms that are certified as organic rose 15 percent from 2008 to 12,634, the

USDA said. Differences in survey methods from 2008 to 2014 may have affected the count of smaller farms, said Troy Joshua, chief of the environmental economics and demographics branch of the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Also, some smaller farms have expanded into bigger, certified operations, he said.

The USDA said 39 percent of the organic farmers surveyed, or about 5,300 producers, said they planned to increase production in the next five years. Sales at natural and organic retailers rose nine percent in the past year, compared with a 1.3 percent gain at supermarket chains and other conventional retailers, according to data from Spins, a

market research firm that tracks data from store scanners. In May, Spam maker Hormel Foods Corp. said it would buy organic meat processor Applegate Farms for $775 million.

China’s faltering economy sends shivers in oilseed market MARKET WATCH

alk about mixed marketing signals. China is the world’s largest importer of oilseeds, and the market is always trying to determine how much soybean, canola and palm oil it will take. And because the soybean trade is so large, it tends to set the general

trend for other oilseeds. China’s long-term spectacular economic growth is slowing a lot, and that has all commodity markets on edge, fearful that an important component of world demand is about to collapse. After an average annual growth rate of 10 percent for three decades,

China’s economy grew at only 7.4 percent last year and some believe it will fall to less than seven percent in the coming year. On Sept. 28, China reported that profits in August at industrial companies fell 8.8 percent from a year ago. Will a slowing Chinese economy create less demand for imported oilseeds? The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that China will import a record 79 million tonnes of soybeans from all sources this crop year, up two million tonnes from 2014-15. Of that it expects 28.5 million will come from the United States. However, sales so far in the crop year are well behind last year’s pace. Soybeans that were sold for delivery to China this crop year as of Sept. 17 were 7.1 million, down from 16 million at the same point last year. A sigh of relief could be heard throughout the market last week when importers from China signed agreements to buy a total of 13.18 million tonnes of U.S. soybeans valued at about $5.3 billion at a signing ceremony in Des Moines, Iowa. Most the soybeans will be shipped in the current crop year, but some will be extended into 2016-17. The event coincided with the visit

to the U.S. of Chinese president Xi Jinping. And just to reinforce things, on Sept. 25 the USDA reported a flash sale of 260,000 tonnes of soybeans to China for delivery in the 2015-16 marketing year. That lifted soybeans 2.5 percent last week, but the trade will closely watch to see if the tonnes committed to in the signing ceremony actually are turned into real sales on the books. These promises of soybean sales won’t spark a sustained rally. They will only lessen the downward pressure on soybeans and if they fall short of expectations, could turn into a negative factor. The U.S. harvest is also a negative factor for prices while it continues, and the expectation of a record South American crop seeded this fall is another negative for prices. That is slightly offset by expectations of reduced palm oil production because of hot dry weather in Indonesia and Malaysia because of the strengthening El Nino. However, that same El Nino usually delivers good moisture to South American soybean fields, so how it all plays out in the end is far from clear. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

U.S. hog herd growth modest as profits shrink

FED PRICES DROP

(Reuters) — The U.S. hog herd grew four percent during the JuneAugust quarter from a year ago, a U.S. Department of Agriculture report showed Sept. 25, as the industry continues to bounce back from a deadly pig virus, analysts said. The increase was close to analysts’ expectations. They said hog farmers added to their herds incrementally as their profit margins teetered precariously in the red. “ The natural tendenc y is to expand hog production. Red ink slows things down,” said University of Missouri economist Ron Plain. The USDA report showed the U.S. hog herd as of Sept. 1 was up four percent over the year-ago level, at 68.395 million head, the highest for the quarter since the government began the data series in 1988. Analysts, on average, expected a 3.5 percent increase. The U.S. breeding herd was up one percent at 5.986 million head, compared with average trade expectations for a .2 percent increase. The Sept. 1 supply of marketready hogs for sale to packers was up four percent at 62.41 million head. Analysts, on average, expected a 3.8 percent increase, or 62.341 million. Pigs per litter, the category most affected by the virus, was 10.39 during the summer period, a two percent increase. It was the most for any quarter, breaking the 10.37 record set during the latest spring period. Record pigs per litter reflects industry success at managing por-

Investors and analysts agreed that the market may quickly absorb the report and turn their attention to more influential near-term market fundamentals.

Declining carcass weights in the United States indicated producers were current in their marketing, which supported prices. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$52.50-$53 per hundredweight Sept. 25, up from $50.50-$51 Sept. 18. U.S. hogs averaged $68.44 on a carcass basis Sept. 25, up from $66.94 Sept. 18. The U.S. pork cutout rose to $83.94 per cwt. Sept. 25, up from $82.90 Sept. 18. T h e e s t i m a t e d U. S. w e e k l y slaughter for the week to Sept. 25 was 2.276 million, down from 2.278 million the previous week. Slaughter was 2.090 million last year at the same time.

Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 1,423 sheep and 497 goats sold Sept. 21. Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $200-$305 per cwt., 55-to 69 lb. were $230-$255, 70-85 lb. were $212-$235, 86-to 105 lb. were $196$221 and 106 lb. and heavier were $186-$204. Wool rams were $80-$99 per cwt. Cull ewes were $75-$112. Hair lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $195-$218 per cwt., 55-to 69 lb. were $204-$230, 70-85 lb. were $205-$228, 86-105 lb. were $194$222 and 106 lb. and heavier were $180-$191. Hair rams were $77-$105 per cwt. Cull ewes were $78-$138. Feeder kids lighter than 60 lb. were $180-$225. Good kid goats lighter than 70 lb. were $220-$265. Those heavier than 70 lb. were $230-$275 per cwt. Nannies were $110-$155 per cwt. Billies were $130-$170. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 2,646 sheep and lambs and 241 goats traded Sept. 21. All classes of good heavy lambs sold steady to stronger. Light weight lambs sold steady. Good sheep and goats sold on a good demand at higher prices.

BISON The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$5.30 per pound hot hanging weight. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.25 with returns dependent on exchange rates, quality and export costs. Grade A heifers sold up to C$5.10 U.S. buyers are offering US$4.10. Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

Sharply lower U.S. cash prices, dropping beef cutouts, falling Chicago cattle futures, seasonally slow beef sales and heavier than usual American carcass weights pressured Canadian cattle prices sharply lower. Dressed trade was $7.50-$10 per hundredweight lower in a range of $280-$290 delivered in Alberta and Saskatchewan. There was little live trade. The Canfax fed steer average was $169.67 per cwt., down about $6, and the heifer average was $168.61, down about $10.50. Carcass weights are also increasing in Western Canada and while discounts for heavy cattle have yet to develop here, they likely will appear soon. They did contribute to the wide trading range. The cash-to-futures basis remains seasonally strong but weakened last week to -$7.49. Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to Sept. 19 was 41,079 head, the biggest kill this year. Packers have a comfortable supply and feedlots are under pressure to manage weights.

COW PRICES LOWER Alberta D1, D2 cow prices are within pennies of the lows set in early January, while Ontario prices are at the lowest levels seen this year. D1, D2 cows ranged $124-$142 to

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | OCTOBER 1, 2015

average $131.50 and D3 cows ranged $112-$125 to average $119. Rail grade cows were $250 to $255. Western Canadian cow slaughter is ranging from 4,000 to 4,500 head a week. That is a bit slow, and more cows are going to U.S. slaughter. In the past two years, D1, D2 cow prices rose from September to October, but that likely won’t be the case this year because of struggling fed prices and a weak trim market. Prices are anticipated to find an annual low around $118-$122.

FEEDER PRICES STRUGGLE Chicago live cattle futures posted new lows last week, and feeder cattle declined more than seven percent over two weeks. On a continuous chart, feeder futures were at the lowest levels since May 2014. In Canada, cash and forward calf prices last week fell $10 per cwt. and yearlings closed the week $5 lower. Saskatchewan steer calf prices appear to be at a slight premium over Alberta values, which reflects Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec demand and Saskatchewan’s freight advantage over Alberta on animals going east. However, there are reports in the yearling market of Saskatchewan and Manitoba yearlings going to Alberta. A few exposed heifers are appearing at market, which is unusual for

this time of year. Most exposed females are entering feed yards. Electronic sales have made up about half the total auction volumes in Alberta over the past three weeks. Prices for all classes of Canadian feeders remain above year-ago levels, but the U.S. feeder index is trading at the lowest levels in more than a year. This is affecting export demand.

BEEF FALLS U.S. boxed beef prices to Sept. 24 fell hard with Choice down US$15.65 at $214.85 per cwt. and Select down $10.08 at $211.62. Lower prices encouraged beef movement. The cutout has dropped $23-$30 in the last six weeks. Prices should improve in the fourth quarter once fed cattle supplies tighten and holiday beef demand appears. Weekly Canadian boxed beef prices to Sept. 18 saw AAA down C$6.76 at $292.13 cwt. and AA down $5.60 at $285.33. The Montreal wholesale price fell to $325-$328.

CRAIG’S VIEW

WATER DRAINAGE

Quick solution needed on Quill lakes flooding

esidents affected by Quill lakes flooding didn’t quite send the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency back to the drawing board, but they gave officials some new drawings to work with in the quest to address the problem. And it was wise of provincial officials to listen. Saskatchewan environment minister Herb Cox said a plan to divert water away from the Quills into Last Mountain Lake will not go ahead. Flooding from the Quill lakes, especially in the last few years, has created a crisis. It’s estimated that 85,000 acres of private and crown land are under water. Major roads, including highways 16 and 6, Grid Road 640 and the Canadian Pacific Railway line are facing a looming onslaught of water. The Quill lakes, which sit roughly halfway between Saskatoon and Yorkton, are considered near-terminal, which means runoff from hundreds of square kilometres flows into the lakes but doesn’t flow downstream, at least not in a natural water flow. It may find its own way over farmland, roads and a rail line. As well, the water is highly saline, so attempts to steer it downstream worry residents in the Last Mountain Lake area. There is evidence that the serious flooding that has already taken place is just a sign of things to come. Since 2004, water levels in the Quill lakes have risen by almost seven metres. Another metre and the lakes will begin releasing water into the Assiniboine River Basin, which channels water into Manitoba through Brandon, Portage la

Prairie and Winnipeg. It’s estimated that at that point, upgrades and property losses to farmland and infrastructure could hit $85 million. A report from Golder Associates released in January recommended berming around Kutawagan Lake and then building a system that would steer the water to Last Mountain Lake. It would not drain water from Quill lakes. However, residents in the Quills area want more land protected, and residents downstream objected. Five hundred people showed up at a public meeting, and 74 percent of those consulted opposed the plan. The Water Security Agency will look for another solution. A salient comment came from Rural Municipality of Lakeside councillor Kerry Holderness, who observed that “people downstream don’t want our water but I think they’re starting to realize that they might get it anyway.” That will force a needed compromise, though we don’t yet know what it will look like. To that end, the Water Security Agency said the exercise has been fruitful because residents offered useful suggestions for the agency to consider. Forcing a plan on residents was not the way to go. In such situations, the people most affected must have their views considered. But as much as residents will have to compromise, it must be done quickly, or the list of possible solutions will be short.

FARM MANAGEMENT

It’s essential that you (farmers) have another set of eyes look at what you’re doing, to take the emotion away from the decisions. Every other business that operates in North America has some kind of an advisory board or a board of directors or something that gives them another set of eyes that looks at what they’re doing.

TRADE DEAL

Supply management becomes hot potato among politicians CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

et another round of Trans Pacific Partnership talks are under way, this time in Atlanta, Georgia, as chief negotiators and trade ministers attempt to nail down a final trade deal. No deal had materialized at the time of writing, and talks among the 12 participating countries were just getting underway, with dairy and auto still sticking points. A looming American election and a Canadian election well underway means it’s political crunch time. Those close to the TPP negotiations have said a final deal needs to

be reached by January if the deal has any hope of being ratified. The federal Conservatives can attend, negotiate and sign a final TPP trade deal under parliamentary rules but can’t ratify any part of it until Parliament returns. Recent reports that Canadian negotiators are prepared to make significant concessions on supply management have dairy farmers fuming. The Americans have demanded 10 percent access to Canada’s protected dairy market, which Dairy Farmers of Canada has said is equivalent to $2 billion a year in losses. International trade minister Ed Fast has categorically denied those reports. Still, the American demand, which sources close to the negotiations have said was flatly rejected by Canadian officials in July, means the TPP has started to emerge as an election issue. An election as close as this one can make for some tricky political positioning.

Canada’s supply management sectors are worried their industries could be undermined by the TPP, while exporting sectors such as pork, beef and grain, argue that the multibillion-dollar trade deal is essential if they are to remain competitive internationally. The ex-porters insist that Canada cannot be left out of this trade deal. The Conservatives have long said they will uphold and protect supply management at the bargaining table while ensuring market access for export dependent farmers. “Prime minister Stephen Harper has made clear that he will only sign an agreement that’s in Canada’s best interests,” Fast said in an emailed statement Sept. 26. “Our goal is to secure an agreement that benefits all sectors of our economy, across all regions of our country.” Doubtful dairy farmers are not as confident, pointing to quota concessions the Conservatives made while negotiating the trade agree-

ment with Europe, where negotiators gave European cheese makers 17,700 tonnes worth of new quota access. The federal government has promised compensation if the industry is negatively affected, but details remain scarce. NDP leader Tom Mulcair has repeatedly asked Harper to uphold the system in the TPP negotiations, which he reiterated Sept. 17 during the French leaders debate in Montreal. Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe also demanded that Harper protect supply management at the negotiating table. Some 1,500 dairy farmers were in Montreal the day of the debate to demand the federal government defend supply management in TPP negotiations. Another protest was planned for Sept. 29 on Parliament Hill, with others scheduled across Ontario at Conservative MP offices. Meanwhile, the Liberals are

sending mixed signals about the TPP. In an interview with iPolitics Sept. 26, Liberal agriculture critic Mark Eyking said his party would not support a TPP deal that opens up the Canadian border to American milk imports. “If they (the Conservatives) have opened the borders to the United States milk in here, we are not going to be supporting this deal,” Eyking said. However, in an interview with Global’s Tom Clark that aired Sept. 26-27, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau refused to say whether his party would ratify or support the TPP trade deal if concessions on supply management are made, insisting he wants “to wait and see” the details of the deal first. “We have to take him (at his word) that he’s not put supply management on the table and we certainly hope that he hasn’t,” Trudeau said.

& OPEN FORUM WHEAT MARKETS

RYAN TAYLOR BIDS FAREWELL

Branding wheat may expand markets

Writer sought to give insight on farm life

BY CAM DAHL

hat do customers want when they buy Canadian wheat? Cereals Canada and the Canadian International Grains Institute recently commissioned market research firm LMC International to answer this question. Farmers should care about the answer because it will impact their future bottom line, and their checkoff dollars may be going to go to support the industry’s response. One of the report’s main findings is that Canadian wheat faces a significant freight disadvantage when compared with the rest of the world. This is not a surprise. Canada does not have a Mississippi River system. We don’t have our production areas clustered within trucking distance of our ports like Australia or the Black Sea region. It is 1,700 kilometres from the middle of Saskatchewan to either the West Coast or Thunder Bay. We can’t change our geography. We know that Canada will almost always be at a freight disadvantage and therefore a step behind in price sensitive markets. This means our wheat has to compete on more than just price. So what do customers pay extra for? The report found that the Canadian wheat brand is known for superior protein content and quality, consistency and cleanliness (small dockage and small amount of “other” grain). This is especially true for Canadian Western Red Spring wheat and durum.

All parts of the value chain must work together to find new uses and growth opportunities for Canadian wheat. | FILE PHOTO It’s good news that customers pay more for a branded product, but while our reputation as a consistent supplier is strong, it has taken a hit in recent years. Consider the transportation crisis of 2013-14. Canada simply cannot afford to see this crisis recur. The countries where Canadian wheat is differentiated (branded) are important to a farmer’s bottom line. These include long standing customers like the United States and Japan for CWRS and North Africa for durum. The Canadian value chain needs to take steps to ensure that we keep these customers happy. This is another point emphasized in the new research. Current action includes steps that have resulted in a recovery of CWRS gluten strength

and measures that will keep this key quality parameter at levels that good customers have come to expect. The report also tells us that these strong traditional markets for Canadian wheat and durum are not growth opportunities. This means that if the Canadian wheat industry wants to grow, we are going to have to do more than just preserve the good customers we have today. Growth opportunities include West Africa, South America, South Asia and the Middle East. The market research noted particular opportunities for Canada in West Africa and South America. Canadian wheat is not well differentiated in these markets, so Canada has some work to do before the growth

potential can be realized. Additional branding of Canadian wheat will happen by finding new uses for some of our traditional high-valued wheat classes. Can CWRS enhance lower protein wheat to deliver the quality of flour that West African markets demand? Can we better differentiate other wheat classes in new markets? For example, South America is receptive to Canadian Prairie Spring. How do we build the strong brand of consistent quality for CPS in South America as we have for CWRS in Japan? All parts of the value chain need to work together to answer these key market development questions, and the work has already begun. Team Canada, comprising producers, industry, Cereals Canada, CIGI and the Canadian Grain Commission, will be visiting West Africa this fall to help develop our brand through new crop missions. The answer to the question, “what do customers want?” will form the backbone of the development of strategic research objectives for the value chain. The ultimate goal of sustainable growth for the cereals industry won’t happen overnight. Accomplishing this goal requires commitment from every part of the value chain: crop development companies, exporters and farmers. The first steps on this path have already been taken. Cam Dahl is president of Cereals Canada.

SUPPORT POLICY

AgriInvest proposal not proper use of gov’t money HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

“

o you want a better AgriInvest program? One with higher matching contributions that allows you to better manage risks and invest in your farm?” That’s the preamble to a survey being conducted by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. Of course the answer is “heck yeah”. They might as well be asking if Santa Claus should bring more and bigger presents. While that will be the typical response of individual producers, there are many reasons why governments should not be doling out

more money through AgriInvest. Government direction to date has been to trim the program. Up until a few years ago, federal and provincial governments would match up to 1.5 percent of allowable net sales. The current level is one percent with a maximum matching contribution of $15,000 per year. So if you have $1.5 million in allowable net sales, you can contribute the $15,000 maximum and receive a matching government contribution. You can withdraw the money at any time, and there’s no restriction on how to use it. However, the government’s portion must be removed first, and it’s taxable when withdrawn. A resolution in the CFA’s policy manual calls for the contribution to return to 1.5 percent, and there are suggestions that the association is pushing for a much higher level. As well, the CFA wants to see the cap on matching contributions increase to $100,000. The survey asks farmers if they

have withdrawn money from AgriInvest and how they intend to use it. Buying land is grouped under the heading of farm investments, but there’s little doubt that any and all income tends to become capitalized into farmland values. Crop insurance provides support when yields are bad, and AgriStability is supposed to provide support when farm income drops dramatically. AgriInvest is supposed to help producers cover small income declines, but many don’t use it for that purpose. Raising the cap from $15,000 to $100,000 per year would mean a pile of money flowing to large operations. What public good does that fulfill? The CFA notes that AgriInvest account balances across Canada contain $1.9 billion. With the Net Income Stabilization Account program that pre-dated AgriInvest, account balances remained high even when farmers were protesting for billions in ad hoc gov-

ernment payments. As a producer, it’s great to get AgriInvest money and I’ll take it as long as it’s available. But the money is going to everyone whether they need it or not. How is that defensible public policy? What’s more, how can you advocate that more money be transferred in this manner? The argument that farmers are special and deserve this money just doesn’t cut it. Many producers intuitively know this and so do many farm organizations, but no one wants to say it. We’re conditioned to lobby for as many government handouts as we can get. There are many areas in which governments should be providing more support, namely research, food safety and environmental stewardship. No strings attached money based on your eligible net sales is not good use of resources. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

n Jan. 11, 1996, The Western Producer introduced Ryan Taylor to our readers. Or rather, we introduced our readers to Ryan Taylor. For that is when his Cowboy Logic column began a remarkable run of almost 20 years. Ryan’s folksy approach to writing about farming life became exceedingly popular with readers. The rancher and former North Dakota state senator called upon his many experiences with his family and farm labours to regale us with wisdom. I have written many columns over the years, for weekly and daily newspapers. I am very much aware of the effort it takes to prepare material and craft a column. To me, that Ryan’s column always looked so effortless and genuine meant he had put a lot of thought into it. His jaunty tales inevitably produced a smile on the lips of our readers. (Many of you told us so.) On Sept. 10, he wrote his final column. He is movin’ on. He will be missed on these pages. Dedicated readers can still access his previous columns by searching for his name on The Western Producer’s website at producer.com. Now, we’re not leaving it at that. We’re looking for a farming columnist to write about life among the grain, the weeds and the cattle. We’re not looking for someone to replace Ryan — his was an inimitable voice — but we are looking for someone who can keep readers interested with yarns about life on the farm. We’re looking to avoid politics, unless the story involves a candidate knocking on the barn door looking for a chat. If you think you’ve got what it takes, please contact me at the email address at the bottom of this column. --------------By the time this edition of The Western Producer appears in your mailbox, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture’s debate on ag issues will have taken place (Sept. 30). The participants scheduled were Conservative Gerry Ritz, the NDP’s Malcolm Allen, Liberal Mark Eyking, Bruce Hyer from the Green party, and possibly someone from the Bloc Quebecois. As of today (Oct. 1), The Western Producer will carry a link to the debate video on our website at producer. com. brian.macleod@producer.com

FINE PRINT ON MANURE To the Editor; On the website of the British newspaper The Guardian, author Yuval Noah Harari says, “Industrial farming is one of the worst crimes in history” and, “what makes the existence of domesticated farm animals particularly cruel is not just the way in which they die but above all how they live.” According to a headline on the Brandon Sun’s website, (Sept. 26), “Hog producers are upbeat about

(the) future.” Manitoba factory hog producers have reason to be optimistic. The agr iculture minister is working with the industr y to resolve a manure management impasse, but his “fine print ” approach, in my opinion, has the stench of undermining the Save Lake Winnipeg Act. First, it was too many hogs, now it is too few hogs. Is the problem too much slaughter capacity? Is it poor planning requiring lots of public bailouts (our tax dollars) and environmental pollution subsi-

dies? Any or all would qualify and be appropriate. The Manitoba Pork Council claims current regulations are too costly for the industry because an anaerobic digestor for a barn may cost $1 million. They’ve asked the minister to accept the cheaper alternative of building upgraded earthen storage structures (lagoons) to separate solids from liquids in manure. Former conservation and water stewardship minister Gord Mackintosh has said, “We are not prepared to weaken the Save Lake

Winnipeg Act and allow unrestricted provincewide hog production in Manitoba at the expense of the environment. “Any pilot project proposal coming forward from the hog industry to the province must demonstrate zero negative impact on water quality and include effective odour control measures.” Allowing additional earthen storage structures to be built would exceed the Kyoto protocol greenhouse gas emission targets the province has previously set in legislation. Manure stored in more of these cheap structures promises more nutrient leaching and increasing the danger of groundwater contamination. Pig waste is appropriately categorized and recognized as hazardous waste Kostyshyn should acknowledge this and respond accordingly. We all should know and realize that you can’t put a pr ice on clean, safe water. Previously, I asked “who is in control?” It is fairly obvious the province has relinquished its responsibility as it had pledged in June of 2011. The factory hog industry wants to operate as cheaply as possible, yet become environmentally sustainable by simply changing locations. How soon we forget. John Fefchak, Virden, Man

FAREWELL TO TAYLOR To the Editor: I read Ryan Taylor’s last and farewell column with tears in my eyes. He will be sorely missed and I hope he knows how much joy his writing has brought the WP readers over the years. I’ve been clipping and sending his columns to a senior friend in British Columbia to enjoy. I also bought his three books and perhaps there will be more in the future. I’d like to see his mother’s columns put into a book also. His down-to-earth sense has brought a shining light in a midst of daily turmoil on the newscasts. I wish him and his family all the best in their future endeavours. I also miss Joyce Sasse’s columns; they stopped without a word of explanation. Elaine Sloan Busby, Alta.

SOCIAL MEDIA

The dilemma of moderating comments vs. free speech PRODUCER ONLINE

ROBIN BOOKER

goal of the online team at The Western Producer is to increase reader engagement at producer.com and on our social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter. As a web editor, one of my tasks is to moderate the comments that are sent in, which is at times not an easy task. Some comments are easy to moderate. If it includes personal attacks, profanity, or spam, we cut it, while a comment based on an honestly held opinion, whether we agree with it or not, is allowed. Sometimes this laissez-faire policy can be hard to stick to. Earlier this week, I placed on our Facebook page a story about how Canadian negotiators may have offered to increase dairy imports into Canada during the TransPacific Partnership talks, but then a story commentator went on an anti-GMO rant and posted links to questionable websites. Had the story been about GMO technology, the comment wouldn’t have been so out of place, but this comment didn’t move forward the conversation about international trade and supply management in any way. This comment is an example of a dilemma that myself and fellow web editor Paul Yanko often face: should we allow a small number of commentators to derail important debates in our comment sections? As it stands, we will allow a comment about the globe-Earth conspiracy and how the world is in actually flat. Paul keeps a tin-foil hat on hand for such occasions. I’m concerned many of our readers and fans won’t participate in our online discussions because a few prolific commentators, who aren’t even involved in the industry, annoy them. However, the side of me that advocates for free speech believes anyone should be allowed to voice their opinion in the news media comments sections, which are important public forums. It’s not just the Producer that’s looking for a way to promote focused discussions in story comment sections, which will enable readers to increase their understanding on an issue. Some news agencies have implemented a Facebook authentication system to try and clean up their comment sections. The idea is that when commentators are anonymous, they are less likely to be civil because there is no chance their lack of tact can come back on them. Critics of the Facebook authentication method say citizens shouldn’t be forced to have a Facebook account to participate

in public discussions, which I think is a fair concern. Some news organizations have questioned the utility of even having a comment section. Last week, Sun newspapers told their readers they’re closing their comment sections on most of their online stories because the comments are often filled with “anonymous, negative, even malicious personal attacks, albeit by a minority,” wrote James Wallace, vice-president of editorial at the Sun. When social media and com-

I’m not convinced many of our perspectives have changed significantly since the digital revolution began.

ment boards first emerged, there was hope that citizens would use them to come together, share information and help overcome

the significant challenges we face as a species. Never before has there been so much information available, and all that is needed to access it is an internet connection and a cheap digital device with web capability. Yet I’m not convinced many of our perspectives have changed significantly since the digital revolution began. Digital media analysis has described how social media users often seek information and online connections that reinforce what they already believe and ignore

information and people that challenges their views. So our increased reliance on digital media may actually be a polarizing process because there is so much information to choose from, especially if we don’t challenge each other. Bringing it back to the Producer’s comment sections, if you happen to come across a commentator that claims the world is indeed flat, please feel free to scrutinize their opinion. robin.booker@producer.com

MILLING RESEARCH

Barley can be milled with wheat, say experts Researchers found a 40/60 barley-wheat ratio can be blended with wheat without gumming up machines or altering the milling process BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Flour milling is an ancient business, and millers harbour an ancient prejudice against barley. That’s something researchers at the Canadian International Grains Institute hope they can banish with results of a new study. They have found that hulless barley, even waxy barley, can be mixed into wheat at up to 40 percent and run through mills without gumming up the machinery. “We can show commercial millers who never milled barley … that you can treat it just like another wheat and produce a healthy barley without having to do anything else,” said Ashok Sarkar, CIGI’s head of milling technology and overseer of the barley blend research. Millers had previously backed away from mixing wheat and barley in milling, even though they wanted to produce flour blends,

because “millers were intimidated milling anything in their flour mill that they didn’t know.” Sarkar and fellow CIGI researcher Elaine Sopiwynk found that hulless barley, including waxy varieties, could be mixed with wheat at up to 40 percent without requiring millers to tweak their machinery or processes. Sarkar said he thinks the grain blend could probably be boosted to 50 percent, but that’s not a level they have thoroughly checked. Healthy additive Barley is often touted as a healthy ingredient for grain food products because of its high beta glucan, but the beta glucan is also seen as a risk to milling equipment because of the belief it could gum it up. Millers know how to make 100 percent barley flour, but producing it requires milling machinery to be reset, which is timely and

hurts mill productivity. The novel finding in the CIGI research is that millers can simply mix wheat and barley before milling without having to reset or adjust anything. “You can treat it just like another wheat in the mill, so any miller with an existing mill having done nothing to the mill can bring hulless barley and blend it (with wheat) and produce flour,” said Sarkar. The research was commissioned by Alberta Barley and Alberta Innovates Bio Solutions, which had previously supported a study that looked at boosting barley in human food products. That research showed barley could be mixed into flour at up to 15 percent without causing problems, but it didn’t greatly increase beta glucan levels. The research was shelved until Alberta Barley held a meeting with CIGI and other researcher and Sarkar suggested it be revived and

Now the researchers are preparing to present their findings to the world’s millers, many of whom operate in countries that like and use barley and buy it from Canada.

“I was hoping (the project’s results) would be good and it would work out,” said Sarkar. “Until you actually do it, you don’t know.” ed.white@producer.com

RURAL POPULATION

Committee created to boost Manitoba’s rural economy BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Statistics show that certain parts of rural Manitoba are booming. For example, the population of Steinbach increased 22 percent between 2006 and 2011, gaining nearly 2,500 people in only five years. The Morden-Winkler region in southern Manitoba is also prospering as immigrants and newcomers move to the region to take jobs in manufacturing and other enterprises. Those success stories aren’t typical as many towns in rural Manitoba lose people and struggle to sustain economic growth. To address the inequity, the Manitoba government has created a steering committee to boost the overall economy of r ural Manitoba.

Agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn introduced the Rural Economic Development Steering Committee in September to develop a “road map” to bolster Manitoba’s rural regions. Kostyshyn said Manitoba’s rural economy is in decent shape, but the committee will look at ways to build upon rural strengths and opportunities. The Association of Manitoba Municipalities encouraged the province to initiate the steering committee. AMM executive director Joe Masi said the government has issued reports on rural economic development in the past, but this study will take a grassroots approach. “They (the studies) were always government-driven … or from a government perspective,” said Masi, who will co-chair the committee. “When we discussed it with the

province, we said it really has to be driven from the communities and the various players.” The committee, which comprises business leaders and rural experts, will consider issues such as infrastructure, technology, labour and housing. It will consult with interested parties and release a strategy and action plan. Kostyshyn said one of the goals is to set up a “template,” or informa-

tion hub, to help new entrepreneurs in rural Manitoba. “It will provide them (businesspeople) with some kind of guidance and understanding … so they don’t have to go through a (long) journey of discovery. It will be all in front of them,” he said. “Through (the) Jobs and Economy (department), there are all kinds of programs that are available, whether they are tax incentives or apprenticeship programs…. What we’re saying is the province is prepared to work with any new emerging businesses and maybe there are some new programs that we need to look at.” Masi said smaller communities sometimes aren’t able to identify provincial programs that assist local economies. “What community (leaders) are saying is, ‘we (need) a better coordinated approach that brings

(government) departments into a one-stop shop approach.” Recruiting new employees is one of the primary challenges for rural businessess. Manitoba’s meat packing and beekeeping industries constantly struggle to fill permanent or seasonal jobs. “The farming families in the countryside are gone,” said Bruce Podolsky, a honey producer from Ethelbert, Man. “It’s all big farmers, so there are very few young people around.” Masi agreed that immigration and encouraging people to live in rural areas are key to economic growth. “You can have great strategies and different programs, but you need people.” The committee hopes to release a draft report by the end of the year. robert.arnason@producer.com

When Bill Tamminga saw a photo of an Ontario field bearing a political message, he decided to respond in kind. The farmer from Cranford, Alta., plowed one gigantic word into his wheat stubble field last week : Harper. The letters are each 150 metres tall and the word itself is 800 metres wide. A day later, he added a box and a check mark, signifying a vote on the ballot. Tamminga said he disagreed with the Ontario field message, which said “anybody but Harper.” He thinks prime minister Stephen Harper is the right man for the job. His brother, Jake, accompanied Harper on a trade mission, and that personal connection formed Jake and Bill’s opinion of the man. “He was highly impressed with (Harper’s) love for the country and for the people of Canada,” Tamminga said. “I really think he is the man to do it.” The precision of the word plowed in Tamminga’s field led to social media speculation that it was fake, created using photo software. “If that’s what people want to think, that’s fine. There’s proof out in the field. I think in the big picture, it probably made more publicity with people arguing about it,” said Tamminga. “My daughter said it well. ‘Dad doesn’t even know how to do Photoshop.’ It would take me longer to do Photoshop than to drive in the field.” He said the process took about three hours and involved the use of old stubble, cultivation lines and all-terrain vehicles to map out the initial word. Then he followed up with the cultivator. “It was rainy one morning so we couldn’t do potatoes,” said Tamminga about digging the crop he sells to McCain’s. The family also grows sugar beets, seed canola, fresh peas, timothy, alfalfa and grain. “If it does anything, I hope it encourages people to vote, and then I really hope they vote for the right guy,” he said. Tamminga lives in the Bow River constituency, where boundaries were recently redrawn. Seven candidates are registered there: Martin Shields for the Conservatives, Lynn MacWilliam for the NDP, William MacDonald Alexan-

der for the Liberals, Rita Ann Fromholt for the Green party, Frans VandeStroet for the Christian Heritage Party, Fahed Khalid for the Democratic Advancement Party and Andrew Kucy as an independent.

U.S. safety deadline not feasible: railways Installation of the system that tracks train location, speed and direction is to be done by the end of the year BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A looming deadline that requires all U.S. railway operators to install automatic train safety control systems by Dec. 31 is not realistic and should be extended, says Canadian Pacific Railway. CP chief executive officer Keith Creel told a Sept 16 investors conference that Washington’s decision to impose the deadline for implementating positive train control (PTC) systems will lead to industry-wide railway disruptions. If the deadline is not extended, CP will likely be required to stop handling passenger trains in the United States as well as trains that carry certain types of toxic chemicals, known as TIH trains. CP operates on 22,000 kilometres of track in Canada and the United States “I can tell you that we’re looking at an environment where if it’s not extended, we just can’t get it done. The technology isn’t there, ” Creel said. U.S. Congress mandated the installation of PTC systems in 2008. PTC systems use global positioning and track side transponders to monitor the location, speed and direction of trains. Implementation is intended to reduce the likelihood of fatal trains collisions and derailments. Creel said railways have invested billions of dollars into developing and installing necessary equipment. “We’ve been running flat out since this became an objective for us,” he said. “We’ve made some significant progress but because of the technology (that’s involved), we haven’t been able to implement and test … and make sure that what we’re doing is actually going to improve safety.” Other railways have also signaled their intention to suspend TIH traffic and terminate commuter operations in some locations before Jan. 1 if the deadline isn’t extended to avoid federal fines potentially worth millions of dollars a day. “Stopping passenger and TIH traffic, which is the traffic that

necessitates PTC installation, is the most responsible option,” Union Pacific Railway said earlier this year. “With 10,000 customers across nearly every industry relying on Union Pacific to deliver products, this embargo will have wide reverberations across the country.” Creel said the North American railway industry needs two or three more years to develop and test the PTC system and five or more to install the systems on all affected lines. “If the regulatory body does what’s practical and what needs to be done, they will extend (the deadline),” he said. Luc Jobin, executive vice-president at Canadian National Railway, said his company is making progress toward full implementation, but he said an extension will be required and “should be granted soon, we hope.” “We estimate that we have about $500 million or so more to invest in order to achieve the full plan for PTC,” he said. “So we’re making good progress.” Alex Paterson, public affairs coordinator with the Railway Association of Canada, said PTC technology represents “an extraordinary technical and operational challenge for the U.S. rail industry.” Implementation in the U.S. has been affected by significant delays in the development of several key technologies and components, as well as in the permitting processes for radio towers, he said. “U.S. legislators are actively discussing an extension of the … implementation deadline,” he said in an email. “However, if the U.S. Congress is not able to enact a workable extension … the threat of significant disruptions to freight and passenger traffic is very real, with potential network delays affecting the interchange of traffic among rail carriers throughout North America.” The association said Ottawa should not impose deadlines for PTC implementation in Canada until the system has been deployed and assessed in the U.S. brian.cross@producer.com

CROP PROTECTION

Neonic issue continues to rankle Ont. farmers A split was diverted within the Ontario Federation of Agriculture over the OFA’s talks with government about neonics BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

W O O D S TO C K , O n t . — T h e Ontario farming community narrowly avoided a further split over the neonicotinoid issue during Grain Farmers of Ontario’s recent semi-annual meeting. Delegates at the Sept. 15 meeting had an opportunity to drop their membership in the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Instead, they tabled the resolution. The GFO had refused to participate in earlier negotiations with government and industry to implement regulations intended to reduce neonicotinoid corn and soybean treatment by 80 percent by 2017. Members say the plan is unworkable. The OFA remained in the loop, which the GFO leadership said was a betrayal of loyalties and logic. “Ultimately, it was better to table something like that then to have a straight-up yes or no vote,” said GFO chair Mark Brock. Reporters attending the meeting were asked to leave the room before delegates discussed the resolution. Brock later acknowledged the split in the farming community over the issue. “It’s naïve to think, no matter what farm organization you’re talking about, that you have 100 percent support for any policy,” he said. Neonicotinoids had been used on almost all of Ontario’s corn crop until farmers were given the option to pre-order their seed without the treatment a year ago. Much of the soybeans planted in Ontario are also treated. OFA president Don McCabe said his organization supports the GFO position, but it was better to be part of the discussion. “If you’re not behind the doors, you’re on the table and if you’re on the table you’re likely to get carved,” he said. The OFA represents the province’s grain and oilseed and beekeeper sectors. Brock said the GFO felt blindsided when the provincial announced late last year that the restrictions would be implemented. The group had anticipated more discussion and consideration of its Pollinator Health Blueprint, which proposed a more graduated response to the issue. He said the GFO maybe should have been more proactive in how seed treatments are marketed. Having more options in choosing to use or not to use the technology is an issue, he added. “I think we need more choice. I don’t know if we needed choice in the beginning, but we do need it now.” Neonicotinoids came to the attention of Ontario’s farming community in the wake of a substantial bee kill during spring seeding in 2012. Many members of the beekeeping community now see the chemicals as a major issue for

their industry, and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency has concluded there’s reason for concern. Measures were introduced last year to reduce the level of neonicotinoid-laden dust that is emitted from pneumatic planters. The GFO has often quoted statistics showing an 80 percent reduction in bee kill incidents at planting time in Ontario, but troubles for Ontario’s beekeeping industry continue. Symptoms

similar to those at planting have been reported at other times of the year, and there’s growing evidence that the insecticides may affect pollinators at a sub-lethal level. Brock fears that other agricultural technologies, such as the use of phosphorus and genetic modification, will be unfairly targeted in the future. “Everyone understands this is the most serious issue this organization has ever faced.… It’s an issue

around our right to farm,” he said. “I get a little nervous around this discussion about social licenses because it sounds like you will need a card with your picture on it to be allowed to farm.” The GFO has taken legal actions to delay the implementation of the regulations. One argument simply calls for a delay, while the other says the regulations fail to meet the “absurdity test,” that their chances of being successful implemented are remote.

FOOD MARKETING

Big food system lacks consumer connection, local policies BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Local food production and marketing have been taking a beating since the 1950s, when expansion of the grocery industry combined with consumers’ increased access to car travel. Before those two major shifts occurred, just about every town had a farmers market and local grocery stores regularly dealt with farmers to sell local produce. William Ramp, a sociology professor at the University of Lethbridge, said even with those chang-

es, demand for local food remains strong and often exceeds local producers’ ability to grow and adequately market it. In fact, he believes most grocery chain store managers would like to feature more local food but are hindered by logistics, such as getting approval from a distant head office, food safety regulations, adequate supply and transportation. Ramp is completing a study of local food systems and gave a presentation on his findings Sept. 17. He and colleagues conducted about 30 interviews with farmers, agri-businesses and researchers

for the project. They found that many southern Alberta farmers who grow and market food directly to consumers

are optimistic that the gap can be bridged between producers’ need to earn a living and consumers’ understanding of how food is grown and their willingness to pay. Farmers one or more steps removed from direct contact with consumers are less optimistic about improving the general understanding about costs and production methods. “It makes sense to me that producers who are more in touch directly with consumers are going to forge relationships in which the consumers are going to learn more about what it takes to produce and

what a producer needs to survive in the business,” Ramp said after his presentation. He acknowledged that consumers who seek information from farmers are probably already informed at some level. “Nonetheless, if it were made easier somehow for a larger number of people to get in touch with producers … there would be more opportunity for consumers to ask questions, including silly questions,” he said. “You have to have a producer who is willing to keep on answering the same old, same old, same old, questions with another customer.” Producers who export commodities may have fewer opportunities, or perhaps less inclination, to discuss their operations and methods. “The problem with the way the big food system has gone, what they call industrial ag or export oriented commodity production has gone, is that progressively the consumer is way down the line,” said Ramp. His research showed that many food producers who market directly to consumers are run off their feet because of the dual demands of production and marketing. Paperwork related to a patchwork of regulations takes time, as does implementation of the rules. “I think that governments need to put the investment, and part of its money and time, into developing good long-term policy” for local food systems, said Ramp. “There has been too much seatof-the-pants policy making in all of the provinces, especially in Alberta under the previous government.” Ramp said some government policies are made in response to a specific event or scandal. The matter is addressed in the short term, but the longer-term implications are not well enough considered. “ We n e e d p o l i c i e s t h a t a re reviewed consistently, reviewed periodically and thought about carefully. That’s the one thing we need. What we also need in government is a rethinking of what policy is about. And it’s not about stopping stuff to keep us safe,” he said. “Policy needs to be thought of from the standpoint of the policy user and thought of in terms of how to make it easier for the user to do the right things.” Ramp said agricultural policy needs to recognize there are two large sectors: traditional, commodity oriented producers and those involved in niche, small-scale and locally oriented production. “There’s a need for good policy to protect and facilitate commodity production, especially people trying new stuff with commodity production. Large scale organic, for example,” he said. “There also needs to be a policy initiative directed at the smaller scale producers, producing a regulatory regime that works for them.” Other project findings included variable definitions of “local” when it comes to food and interest in organic production but not labelling food as such because of the regulatory hurdles. barb.glen@producer.com

VALUE-ADDED VENTURE

Family business offers unique rewards Camp offers visitors opportunities not available in the city BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

WOLF CREEK, Sask. — When Robin Exner and Barb Price were staff members at Circle Square Ranch in the early 1990s, they could never have imagined that they would still be at the same camp 25 years later. However, after their courtship and marriage, followed by the birth of their first child, the Saskatchewan couple decided to take on the job of running the ranch in 1998. Seventeen years later, Robin and Barb and their four children are the driving family force that keeps the year-around children’s camp and retreat centre running smoothly. “I look at it as a calling,” said Exner, executive director of Circle Square Ranch near Wolseley, Sask. “I feel like I grew up here because I was a camper here and then I went on to be a summer staff member, and even in high school and university I always came back in the summers to volunteer.” Exner serves as the general overseer of operations at the ranch and Price is an assistant, having served in a variety of roles from office clerk to kitchen manager. Eighteen-year-old Olivia runs the junior horse program, 16-year-old Morgan is a staff member, 14-yearold Tanner takes care of grass cutting and odd jobs and 12-year-old Nadine does canteen duty and housekeeping. Nadine is still fortunate enough to get a week off and become a camper like the other kids her age. With up to 650 campers and staff passing through the ranch’s doors each summer and numerous other groups visiting during the fall, spring and winter, Circle Square is a multi-faceted operation that requires input from the entire Exner family. “We feel a calling to do it and work with youth because we want to make a difference,” said Barb, who sees many children blossom during the summer camp program. The camp features one-week sessions for campers aged six to 18. Programming includes horseback riding, wall climbing, archery and water sports set in a Christianvalues atmosphere. Children come from across Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba and stay in stationary covered wagons, each containing eight bunks. The camp was founded 30 years ago by area farmer and pastor

RIGHT: Barb helps assemble pizza buns for lunch, while Morgan cuts carrots in the background. Norm Bonk. Operating on a costrecovery and donation model, the Wolf Creek Circle Square Ranch is part of a network of nine Inter-Varsity camps across Canada. The Exners find it a challenge to keep their private and personal lives separate from camp life. In the summer they are consumed with duties from 6 a.m. to about 10 p.m. “It’s like a family business because all of the kids are involved so, like farming, it can be all-encompassing,” Price said. “We try to keep some days off and we try to keep our personal belongings at our home because when you live and work here, the two

lives become intertwined.” Olivia said growing up at work and play on Circle Square Ranch has afforded her opportunities that urban living could not. “I feel older than my age because I’ve grown up here and there’s been a lot of expectations as the oldest of four,” said Olivia, who teaches children aged six to nine to groom and ride. Riding year round and buying and boarding only the quietest and best-trained horses has allowed the Circle Square Ranch to develop a program that is safe for beginner riders. The ideal horse for the Exners is a

gelded quarter horse that measures about 14 to 15 hands high, is eight to 12 years old and has had significant riding and training. “We look for family horses or 4-H horses that have been ridden but might not be getting used at home anymore because the kids who rode them have grown up,” said Robin. While Olivia said she sometimes longs for a summer holiday, she sees the value of life on the ranch. So does her dad. “ The kids miss out on some things being here, but they gain an appreciation for other things like the value of a good work ethic and

appreciation for the work that goes on behind the scenes,” said Exner. When camp recesses for the summer, the Exners host retreats, school classes and groups who rent the ranch on a daily or multi-day basis. Morgan said he sometimes looks forward to the end of summer camp season and the return to school in Montmartre, Sask. However, the dawn of spring is always an exciting time for him. “By the end of winter, I usually miss all of the staff because I like hanging out with them. It’s nice to have that break in the off season, but I’m always pumped when everyone comes back to camp again.”

FARM LIVING

ON THE FARM

Rodeo family ridin’ and ropin’ High school rodeos are the main focus for the Lockies BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BALGONIE, Sask. — Staying on task is the key that allows Lisa and Walt Lockie’s family to complete their farm work. It’s the time of year when life revolves around getting the chores done at home so that weekends can be spent at high school rodeos throughout Saskatchewan. “I’m all about routine,” said Lisa Lockie. “I have to plan every night of the week.” The routine starts on Sunday when the family empties the horse trailer after getting home late from a rodeo. Monday nights involve laundry and cleaning out the trailer. On Tuesday evening the family rides and practices rodeo events such as pole bending, barrel racing, roping and goat tying. Meals are organized on Wednesday. The horses, tack, food and clothes are packed up again on Thursday night, and the family is rodeo bound Friday. “When high school rodeo season is on, that’s what our lives are, and we have to be on that routine,” she said. The fall rodeos run for five consecutive weekends in August and

September throughout the province. Junior high school involves grades six to eight and senior high school is grades nine to 12. Spring rodeos start in May and run into June. Lisa and Walt, together with their children Shelby, 15, Tanner, 12, and Payton,7, live on land first homesteaded by Lisa’s grandparents. The Lockies moved into the brick farmhouse soon after getting married in 1997 and slowly renovated the now century-old property. The couple first met at a Canadian Cowboy Association rodeo in Saskatchewan the previous year: Lisa was running barrels and Walt was riding broncs. Rodeo and the relationships formed from it have continued to directly influence their lives. “Rodeo has opened so many doors for us,” Walt said. “Everything of mine is through rodeo.” They slowly built their 75 head Black Angus commercial herd because of a rodeo connection that allowed them to get cows on shares. Walt’s off-farm job is also a result of a rodeo contact. This time of year is particularly busy for the family. Between offfarm jobs and weekends spent rodeoing, there’s also hay that needs to be put up.

ON THE FARM

THE LOCKIE FAMILY Balgonie, Sask. “We have pretty big expectations for our kids during the week.… They’ve got to get all their stuff done during the week so we can go,” said Walt. “They have to help check cows, make sure there’s feed loaded and everything is done. We’ve always told them that if they help us, then we help them back. There’s a reward for their work.” Participating in junior high school rodeo was a natural progression for the family when Shelby started barrel racing in 2011. That year she won a saddle in the event. “We didn’t know she would do as well as she did right off the bat,” he said. Added Lisa: “I think the fire ignited in her at that point, and we just knew a lot of other families that had high school rodeod.” Now in his second year, Tanner is

competing at the junior high school level and was a season leader for goat tying as well as a Canadian champion for team roping. The Lockies look forward to their weekend trips, describing the organization as an extended family. “It’s a good bunch of kids and parents. It’s fun to go because you all have the same interests,” said Walt. “Everybody takes care of everybody else’s kids and watches out for them. It’s a good atmosphere that way.” Added Lisa: “All the families have stories just like us. A lot of them work off or they operate a ranch. There’s other common interests outside of rodeo too that we have with the parents and the kids have with other kids too.” In order to compete in the rodeo, students must maintain good grades at school as well as acceptable behavior. “I like the fact that it’s tied to their education,” said Lisa. “They know that there are scholarships on the line when they graduate from Grade 12.” There are also many opportunities for parents to become involved. Walt is a director on the Saskatchewan High School Rodeo Association executive board, and Lisa is an event director for pole bending. “We’re pretty deeply rooted helping out that way, and we really like it,” said Walt.

Students also have the opportunity to get involved beyond competing. Tanner is an event director for chute dogging, and Shelby is secretary for the student executive. Just like at home, the needs of the animals come first during rodeos. “On the road, the kids are responsible for feeding, watering and taking care of them, for sure morning, noon and night,” said Walt. Added Lisa: “I think that also teaches. The kids learn responsibility and commitment.” Rodeo participants are also required to help during the event, such as setting up barrels and poles. Events included chute dogging, steer wrestling, breakaway roping, tie down roping, ribbon roping, team roping, bull riding, barrel racing, bareback, pole bending and goat tying. “The kids learn so much in terms of technique, and there are people there to help them,” said Lisa. “It’s the values that they learn too that you can’t put a price on.” Walt said participants aim to win, but it’s not “cutthroat” aggressive. “It’s the kind of competitive that you have a good run and tell your friend to have a better run,” said Shelby. “Like you want to do well but you want them too as well.” william.dekay@producer.com

FREEZING AND CANNING

SYMPTOMS, TREATMENT

Summer flavours to savour, save for winter

Cushing’s Syndrome

TEAM RESOURCES HEALTH CLINIC

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc CLARE ROWSON, MD

s I write this column, I am in a race to preserve and cook as much of the summer’s bounty as possible before frost or spoilage hits. The last offerings from the garden and farmers markets can be put to good use.

Would you please explain Cushing’s disease. How is it diagnosed? What are the symptoms?

Herbes salees Many years ago I found herbes salees, or salted herb preserves, at the Millarville Farmers’ Market south of Calgary. I haven’t seen it since. It is made in countries around the world, but also has Acadian roots in Maritime Canada. One group of people insists there are certain ingredients that make herbes salees, including chervil, parsley, onions, carrots and celery leaves, all in equal proportion. Others use what is at hand and put together a variety of garden herbs. I definitely use some onion, whether it is finely chopped greens or the bulb, and grated carrots. Finely chop clean, dry herbs. Avoid using a food processor, which can cause excessive bruising. Place a layer of salt in a clean, sterile jar. Place a layer of herbs. Repeat with a layer of salt. Repeat with herbs until jar is full. Close jar and put in fridge for 14 days. After 12 to 14 days, drain any excess liquid. Continue to store herbs in fridge or freeze. Will keep for weeks in the refrigerator. Salted herbs can be used in soup, stew and sauces.

ZUCCHINI GARLIC SOUP Mature zucchini should be peeled to avoid a bitter flavour. Young tender zucchini does not need to be peeled. This rich, creamy soup is my favourite way to use excess zucchini. 1/4 c. 1 8 4 4 c.

unsalted butter 60 mL onion, sliced cloves garlic, thinly sliced medium zucchini chicken or vegetable 1 L stock 1/2 tsp. powdered ginger 2 mL salt and pepper Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add onions and garlic and gently saute until transparent but not coloured. Add zucchini and saute until soft. Add stock and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes. Cool slightly before pureeing until creamy. An immersion blender is ideal, but a stand blender can also be used. Fill only half full and hold the lid down tightly with a kitchen towel. Season with ginger, salt and pepper. The flavour improves if refrigerated for a day before serving. Reheat to a simmer and serve immediately. Garnish with edible flower petals and a flavoured oil such as chili oil or basil oil. Makes six cups. (1.5 L)

ITALIAN GIARDINIERA Drizzle this mixture of crisp vegetables with olive oil and toss in a few olives before serving. A few sliced hot chilies add spice. mixed vegetables chopped in large pieces 2 tbsp. kosher salt per per 4 c. of filtered water (30 mL per 1 L) Clean and peel vegetables. Chop in large pieces. Add to jar or a crock and tamp down without bruising vegetables. Make a brine with the filtered water and kosher salt. Heat if necessary so that the salt dissolves in the water. Cool brine before adding to jar or crock. Add enough to completely cover the vegetables. Place a piece of parchment paper, cut to fit, on the surface of the brine. Weight it down if necessary to keep the vegetables submerged. Leave at room temperature for a week or up to a month in a cold room until the flavour has developed to your liking. For long-term storage, put in jars, cover with brine and refrigerate. Freezing apples and pears While I was cooking with my cousin and his wife this summer at Emma Lake, we discussed what cooks used in the past to prevent browning of fresh fruit. Lemons were not common, and Sharon said she doesn’t like the flavour of the added lemon juice. That led me to do a bit of research.

Salt water was the answer. One source said that the bottom of the bowl should be covered with salt and then add water. I used a tablespoon (15 mL) of table salt in a medium sized bowl of cold water. Peeled and sliced fruit sat in the brine for a few minutes, was rinsed and then laid out on a baking sheet to freeze. There is no taste of saltiness. Pack in a freezer bag and store in freezer.

Spread vegetables in a single layer and roast, stirring once, 25 minutes. In same bowl, combine chickpeas, tomatoes, garlic, tomato paste and remaining 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) salt. Add to pan with vegetables in a single layer. Roast 10 to 12 minutes longer. Remove from oven and toss with vinegar. Serve.

Cushing syndrome results from excess levels of the hormone cortisol. It is produced in various glands, usually the adrenal that is situated above the kidneys on both sides, and the pituitary gland, which is in the centre of the brain. Cortisol also regulates the way fats, carbohydrates and proteins are turned into usable forms of energy. These glands produce other hormones that affect things such as blood pressure and the body’s response to stress. Cortisol may be added from outside the body by taking medications such as prednisone, often used for the control of chronic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Prednisone is also used for the treatment of acute illnesses such as severe allergies. Poison ivy is often treated this way. Women in the last three months of pregnancy also have increased blood levels of cortisol and may temporarily display some of symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome. Any problem with the pituitary gland, the nearby hypothalamus in the brain or adrenals can lead to Cushing’s syndrome. The most common is a benign tumour of the pituitary gland known as a pituitary adenoma. This type of tumour may produce an excessive amount of a stimulating hormone known as ACTH, which in turn activates the hormones in the adrenal glands. On rare occasions, some types of lung or thyroid cancer can also behave in a similar way. The most obvious sign of Cushing’s disease is marked weight gain, mostly in the abdomen, face and neck, while the arms and legs remain relatively thin. As the skin in these areas becomes thinner, there may be purple coloured stripes or stretch marks. Women may also lose their periods and grow facial or body hair. Blood pressure is usually high and sufferers feel weak and tired. Cushing’s disease is diagnosed by measuring the amount of cortisol in a person’s urine during a 24 hour period. If there is a tumour it will require surgical removal. If Cushing’s syndrome is a result of prescribed medication, the dosage can be reduced gradually or another type of medication can be tried. Prednisone must never be suddenly discontinued or the person’s blood pressure could drop dramatically, which could be serious and potentially fatal.

FARM LIVING

WINTER PROTECTION

Cosy blanket keeps plants happy IN THE COUNTRY GARDEN

ALBERT PARSONS

aking sure the plants in our gardens come through the winter without damage requires careful planning. Hopefully the first necessary action — choosing plants that are suited to your growing zone — took place months ago. If you have a lot of zone 3 and 4 plants in your garden and you live in zone 2, you will have to work hard at protecting them from winter injury. Even then, those efforts may not be successful. The most tender plants should be in sheltered spots, perhaps near a fence or south of a row of trees. Healthy, vigorous plants will come through the winter in much better shape than those under stress their entire lives because they are planted in less than optimum locations. Evergreens, particularly newly planted ones, are at risk of winter injury. Winter wind will increase tran-

spiration of moisture from the foliage when the plants cannot replace the lost moisture because the root zone is frozen. Strong winter sunshine can do the same. Erecting a burlap screen on the southwest side of an evergreen will shade it from the sun and prevent desiccation and sunscald, while a sturdier barrier on the north and west side will protect the tree or shrub from harsh winter wind. All plants benefit from going into the winter with adequate water around their roots. Wet soil holds more heat than dry soil, so evergreen trees and shrubs and perennials should be watered thoroughly before freeze-up. Wrapping the trunks of vulnerable trees with burlap offers protection from the sun and will prevent the bark from splitting. Some people plant tender plants against the south wall of the house, thinking this is the most sheltered spot in the garden. It might be, but the constant freeze-thaw cycle that is created in such a sheltered spot will significantly damage them during the winter. The goal is to keep the soil at a constant temperature and as high as possible. The best way to accomplish this is to have a good snow cover. Many gardeners erect snow

fences or use branches to catch snow so that deep drifts cover garden plants during the entire winter. This works well if there is significant early snowfall, but the weather often turns cold before there is significant snow cover. Mulches solve this problem. A thick layer will insulate plants and moderate the changes in soil temperature. This mulch, whether it is dry leaves, straw or another material, must be kept dry to retain its insulating ability. As a result, such mulches are often covered with a plastic or Styrofoam material. Alternatively, dry leaves can be placed into a large plastic bag and the bag can be placed on the desired plants to offer them winter protection. Dry soil or peat moss can be mounded over tender plants such as roses. A Styrofoam cone or some other material should be put on top of the mulch to keep it dry and prevent winter wind from blowing it away. Flax straw works well as mulch because its high oil content allows it to shed water and remain dry during winter. Wire cages can be used to hold mulch in place, but the cages should be covered to keep the mulch dry. Shrubs and small trees whose branches will be whipped by win-

Rake leaves off the lawn and use them as mulch to protect plants from winter damage. | ALBERT PARSONS PHOTO ter wind should be tied or wrapped with burlap. This not only protects the branches but also prevents cold air from penetrating to the crowns of the plants. Tender plants such as hydrangeas can be wrapped with burlap and the burlap cylinder filled with a dry mulch to further protect the plants. Perennial borders benefit from having a thick layer of organic mulch tucked in around the plants before freeze-up. Never leave plants in containers because frost will enter the soil from all sides, and the severe cold will kill them. Offer extra protection to plants located in raised beds or

planters for the same reason. If you must leave a plant in its pot, bury the pot up to its rim in the ground and then cover the whole thing with a thick layer of mulch. Getting our gardens through the winter in good shape involves a bit of extra effort in the fall, but when spring arrives and every plant emerges unscathed from winter’s wrath, you will be glad that you took the time to properly prepare your garden for the winter.

RISK OF ALCOHOLISM

Helping kids avoid abuse SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

My husband and I grew up in homes where alcohol abuse was significant. My husband is not in any way caught up with alcohol problems. I was not so fortunate. I am an alcoholic. I have been able to work through a treatment program and follow that with good support from our local Alcoholic Anonymous group. I have been sober for more than three years. My concern is our children. I have heard that alcohol problems are genetic and that our two children are at risk of becoming alcoholics. If this is true, what can my husband and I do to help our children sidestep what I see as a potentially huge problem in their lives?

You are correct that your children are at risk. Studies tell us that children who grow up in homes where alcohol abuse has been a problem are more likely to struggle with alcohol addictions than are other children. The problems the children inherit are likely related to a combination of both their genetic predispositions to alcohol and those life experiences they pick up watching parents struggle with their own addictions.

Children do not necessarily inherit the drive to have a drink, which is related to those life experiences such as going to parties or the bar. The genetic traits become an issue for them once they have a drink. They find themselves unable to stop drinking until they are intoxicated, they crave more drinks later on and they are willing to sacrifice rewarding personal and family activities to have yet another drink. You have two responsibilities as parents. The first is to help your children understand that they may have problems. They cannot assume that their abilities to abstain when alcohol is being served are as strong as those of other children. Their best policy is to say no. They will be better off for it. In the future, they need to do the same for their own children. It takes more than a single generation to challenge traits for alcoholism. Your second responsibility is to inform your children about good treatment programs if they do get caught up in alcohol abuse. Tell them how much your treatment program helped you through your problems. What you have done is admirable and certainly worth sharing with the kids. You and your husband do not need to be alone in this. Check in with your local Alanon group for suggestions. Many communities have programs to help children sidestep their parents’ addictions.

75 YEARS AGO: OCT. 3, 1940 Under the front page headline “A Grave Situation,” The Western Producer reported that the Canadian Wheat Board had accepted 140 million bushels of prairie wheat worth $70 million from Aug. 1 to Sept. 27, compared to 240 million bu. worth $120 million in the same period of the previous year. The paper continued its call for government assistance to farmers struggling to store the grain they couldn’t sell, but it also bemoaned the lack of cash flow facing producers. Poor wheat sales were the result of disruptions caused by the war. Federal researchers found that lighter seeding rates of crested wheat grass in rows produced the highest yields of hay and pasture in dry land. The research had been initiated as producers began reseeding cropland to grass because of the severe drought of the 1930s.

The first class of students at the University of Saskatchewan’s new College of Veterinary Medicine began their studies.

25 YEARS AGO: OCT. 4, 1990 The Alberta government proposed phasing out the Crow benefit over 15 years, which Alberta Wheat Pool claimed killed a compromise proposal that the government and the grain company had developed over several years. Farm bankruptcies were up 24 percent in Canada compared with the first eight months of the previous year. More than half of the farm failures were in Saskatchewan.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate brokers gather best data for policy making Information gathered from best sources L O N D O N , U. K . ( T h o m s o n Reuters Foundation) — There is no shortage of climate change information for a city planner looking to make a new building flood-proof or a farmer interested in trying out new drought-resistant crop. However, the problem is that often there is too much of it and it’s not easy to understand. “We pour this jug of information over people’s heads and hope it sticks,” said Roger Street, director of adaptation science at the United Kingdom Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP). So, as an ever-wider range of people find themselves dealing with climate change-related problems, putting that information together in a form that people can grasp and relate to is crucial to making good climate policy and decisions, argues an emerging group of “climate knowledge brokers.” “It’s profoundly confusing to know where to go to get decent climate information,” said Geoff Barnard, who helps lead the brokers group, which is backed by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP). “Who do you trust? Where do you get things that genuinely speak to what you’re doing?” Right info, right people

O-66-08/15-10406655-E

A Climate Knowledge Brokers “manifesto” report was recently released in London. Based on interviews with more than 80 users of climate information, the report aims to create a road map to make sure good information gets to the people who need it. “In the future, many more people will need to make decisions based on good climate information,” said Florian Bauer, head of “open knowledge” at REEEP. “(The goal) is to end up with people who can make informed decisions with the best, high-quality information.” Useful climate information pulls together data from the best sources and puts it in context, the report argues. It’s written in language the audience can understand and is crafted with an eye to what the intended user needs. “It’s no use just providing people with information if they don’t accept it and learn it, if they can’t use it. Then you have failed as a knowledge manager,” said James Smith, a strategic planner with REEEP. For example, an effort by the Humanitarian Futures Programme at King’s College London to deliver good seasonal forecasts to farmers

in Africa was quickly accepted in some countries, said Vicky Pope, head of integration and growth at the UK Met Office. However, in countries where farmers looked more to traditional knowledge than forecasts for planting advice, the new forecasts had to be paired with and put in the context of natural signals that farmers were used to consulting, she said. In Bangladesh, efforts by the International Center for Climate Change and Development to pass on good climate information to national planners have required more than just putting out data, said Clare Stott, a former researcher with the centre. Instead, it’s taken monthly faceto-face “learning events” with the country’s planning commission and making sure the information gets to the finance ministry, she added. Part of the challenge of creating useful information on climate change is that some of it needs to be created now for future users who haven’t yet seen climate affect their work and “don’t know they need it yet,” Bauer said. Another is producing information that focuses less on climate change and more on the effects it will have on a wide range of other areas, such as agriculture, water, health and national budgets. “Looking at climate change in isolation isn’t good enough,” said Pope. Bauer said demand for highquality, usable information on the effects of climate change is growing fast because “almost everybody is becoming a climate decision maker.” Added Barnard: “There’s a massive job out there to be done that we’re just starting on.”

COMMUNITY HERITAGE

Stories from pioneers provide village time capsule Alberta town project collects oral records from senior citizens about the challenges and triumphs of settling on the Prairies BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Talk to a senior and the hidden gems tumble out. Those conversations can often hold the missing details that make up a community. For example, Lana Black casually mentioned that her husband’s grandmother was late for a ship when she travelled to join her family in Canada. She missed the Titanic. The story of the family’s journey to Canada is now recorded and part

of the oral history of Holden, Alta. With a $3,500 provincial grant, the village hired Janet Nahirniak to record the oral histories of 10 seniors as part of the community’s heritage preserve plan. By recording seniors’ stories, the village hopes to gain an understanding of what the community was like in the boom times. “We want to capture some of their stories. What was it like in the previous era? We want to capture the stories of life in a small town before they are all gone,” said Katherine

Whiteside, the village’s chief administration officer. Built in 1909, Holden was once a vibrant rural community on Highway 14, east of Edmonton. Over the years businesses along Main Street have changed, buildings burned and rebuilt, children born, raised and married. Some stayed to make Holden their home. Now, like many rural communities, Holden is struggling to survive. However, Holden does have a surprising amount of older buildings in various stages of disrepair and

neglect. The village used previous government programs to create an inventory of the historic buildings and their uses and now wants to use seniors’ stories to bring those buildings back to life. “There are very few people left who were alive and know how the heritage came about and when it was a booming centre,” said Whiteside. Preserving the community’s heritage is also part of a long-term economic development program. Whiteside said it’s surprising how

many people return to Holden seeking their roots. Recently, a couple from Greece toured the village and a nearby farm where the man’s father and grandfather lived. “There is part of the community that looks similar to when their family was here. That is both sad and interesting,” she said. “The heritage is a draw for visitors who enjoy a glimpse of the past.” The village recently gave historic designation to a church built in 1915 by Norwegian immigrants. It’s the stories behind those buildings that the oral history project is trying to capture. Nahirniak said it is crucial for communities to record the stories. “The seniors are dying and their stories and memories and what was important to that generation is dying with them,” said Nahirniak. “We’re a province of immigrants. The stories are about perseverance and conquering adversity. This is where we come from.” Nahirniak’s first round of interviews asked questions based on what the community is hoping to record, but in subsequent visits the seniors were eager to talk about something they have remembered that was triggered by the first visit. “You get a richness to this. They become engaged.” The interviews are recorded digitally, and the village will use them for further historical research. The seniors will also receive a copy for their family’s records. mary.macarthur@producer.com MEAT COMPETITION

MANURE MANAGEMENT

German dribble manure technology debuts in Canada The Vogelsang unit is equipped with a knife and cutting screen, turning manure into “liquid gold” that can be applied to a growing crop BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — Manure application technology from Germany has arrived in North America. Ole Beckmann, international sales manager with Hugo Vogelsang GBMH & Co., said dribble manure application was developed in the late 1960s in Germany and is now used widely in Europe. Vogelsang developed the first dribbler bar in 1978. The technology caught the attention of Christine Brown of Ontario Agriculture and Bruce Kelly, environmental program manager with Ontario Farm & Food Care, who have been working with Vogelsang to introduce the idea to Ontario farmers. “This is the first machine here in North America. It’s on demo and it’s a new technology to distribute manure evenly, with reduced odour. We think it will allow us to put more manure on living crops with less runoff,” said Kelly. The equipment demonstrated at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock Sept. 16 was combined with a Husky tanker, built by Ontario-based Husky Farm Equipment. Beckmann said Vogelsang is also co-operating with Cadman Power Equipment, another Ontario company, to combine the manure applicator with a drag hose system. Seven of these have been sold in Ontario and British Columbia, he said. The Vogelsang technology uses rotary load pumps that remove manure from a lagoon and push it onto the field. “Here in Canada, top loading is popular, but where we come from, self-loading is the way to go,” Beckmann said. “You don’t need another machine, another tractor. One machine does both jobs. And you don’t need another tractor operator to load.” Once a tanker is loaded or a drag hose system set up, the manure flow is directed to a pair of distribution hoses that send it to the wings of the machine. A Vogelsang distribution unit, which comes with a knife and cutting screen, is located on each wing. These move the manure down tubes that dribble it onto the field. Vogelsang distributors are also widely used for injection manure systems, which place them in a vertical configuration, Beckmann said. Only the dribble technology locates the outlets to the side of the distributor. Hydraulics are used to fold up the unit’s wings against the length of the manure tank for road travel. Distribution can be adjusted according to crop needs, such as dribbling manure into growing corn. This can be accomplished by cutting off the flow to a given set of dribbler tubes. The configuration demonstrated

at Woodstock, with the tubes being a few inches from each other, is suited to dribbling manure on pasture, hayland and wheat. “Why dribble? Because you can go into a growing crop and give the plants the nitrogen and energy out of the manure when it’s needed,” Beckmann said. “We want to show people that it’s liquid gold that they have in their barn.” Vogelsang was founded as a saw-

mill in 1929 by Hugo Vogelsang, who eventually shifted his focus to agricultural tankers. His son, Helmut, developed a pumping technology suited to viscous fluids containing fibres and other solids. The Vogelsang family is still part of the company, which also markets industrial pumps and other components for rail, waste water disposal, biogas and other industries.

With commodity prices softening, Ole Beckmann hopes North American farmers will look for new manure technology to reap the most from the resource. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO

BENEFICIAL INSECTS

Beefing up parasites’ attack rate relies on diversity Researchers look for cover crops that would benefit natural predators BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

The world has no shortage of parasitic wasps, but Barbara Sharanowski, an associate professor in the University of Manitoba’s entomology department, says not all of them are working to their full potential. Parasitic wasps, or parasitoids, are beneficial insects that eat other insects, and one of Sharanowski’s graduate students is looking at parasitoids that attack cutworms. The student found 16 different wasps that attack cutworms on the Prairies, but some of them have low parasitism rate, so they are not as effective as they could be. Sharanowski and her team believe this is because of monoculture agriculture. “What we’re looking at is what kind of cover crops we could potentially provide to the wasps because they will feed on nectar and pollen from flowers,” she said. “And when they get that nectar and pollen, they’re much more effective parasitoids. Parasitic rates

Researchers are examining ways to increase plant diversity to provide food and habitat for beneficial insects, such as this parasitic wasp that attacks lygus bugs. | MILES ZHANG PHOTO and survival will go up.” Sharanowski said it might be possible to plant a cover crop that is also a cash crop, which would increase parasitoid productivity and increase revenue. “We discovered mustard is one of the crops that help one of the wasps that attack cutworms,” she said. “So mustard can be used as a crop that is then harvested and is a cash crop. We’re looking for those kinds of cover crops that can multifunction.”

Parasitic wasps have been shown to be sensitive to pesticides, which can complicate natural pest control, but ensuring diversity is key. Sharanowski said farmers who mow their shelter belts are causing themselves long-term pest management issues. “The more diverse we can create the agricultural regions of the Prairies, the more likely we’re going to have natural pest control occur,” said Sharanowski.

“So these predators and parasitoids can thrive in those kinds of conditions, whereas if it’s just crop after crop and nothing else — no edge forest areas, no natural flower areas around of tall grass prairies, et cetera — then you’re not going to have any sort of overwintering sites for these beneficial insects.” Only a limited number of chemicals are available for use on certain kinds of pests, and Sharanowski

said it has been documented that resistance is increasing in many insects. “If we don’t use these tools responsibly, we won’t have them for much longer,” she said. “So the goal is really for sustainable approaches for pest management or integrated, where you’re using some chemical control but you’re also trying to maximize ecosystem services provided by beneficial insects.” Sharanowski said it’s not necessary to eradicate a pest, only to keep it under the threshold of spraying by working with nature. Provincial extension entomologists, Agriculture Canada researchers and university workers are developing mobile apps to help farmers identify insects, weeds and diseases and forecast and monitor insects and diseases. “We’re looking to survey farmers regarding what needs they have when it comes to crop management tools to ensure we’re capturing the features that will be most useful for them,” she said. Sharanowski and team anticipate launching three apps for next year. Farmers are invited to sign up to t e s t t h e a p p s w h e n t h e y a re launched at www.mobile-ipm. com.

PA R I S, F ra n c e ( R e u t e r s ) — France will use a new European Union opt-out provision to ensure that its ban on the cultivation of genetically modified crops remains in place. The EU’s largest grain grower and exporter has asked the European Commission to exclude France from some GM corn crop cultivation, the farm and environment ministries said in a joint statement. As part of the opt-out process, France also passed legislation in t h e Na t i o n a l A s s e m b l y t h a t would allow it to oppose the cultivation of GM crops, even if approved at the EU level, on the basis of certain criteria including environment and farm policy, land use, economic impact or civil order, the environment ministry added. GM crops are widely grown in the Americas and Asia, but they have divided opinion in Europe. France had already banned cultivation of Monsanto’s GM corn, saying it had serious doubts that it is safe for the environment. Monsanto has said its corn is harmless to humans and wildlife. The opt-out process, which was agreed to in March, allows individual countries to seek exclu-

sion from any approval request for GM cultivation in the EU or varieties already cleared as safe by the EU. Monsanto’s MON810 corn variety is the only GM crop grown in Europe, where it has been cultivated in Spain and Portugal for a decade, but other corn crops are in the process of being approved at the EU level. One of them is an insect-resistant corn variety known as 1507. Its developers, DuPont Pioneer and Dow Chemical, have been waiting nearly 15 years for the EU executive to authorize its cultivation. The French request concerns nine GM corn strains, including s o m e f ro m S y n g e n t a , s a i d a spokesperson for the environment ministry. Germany also intends to make use of the new EU rules to stop the production of GM crops. The EC is responsible for approvals, but under the new rules, requests for opt-outs also have to be submitted to the company making the application. Monsanto has said it will abide by re q u e s t s f ro m L at v i a a n d Greece to be excluded from its application to grow a GM crop in the EU but accused them of ignoring science.

FOOD SECURITY

Malnutrition remains problem as obesity, diabetes increase Children who are malnourished fail to reach their physical and intellectual potential TORONTO (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Nearly one in three of the world’s population are malnourished, even as obesity spreads around the globe, says an international food security think-tank. Stunting, which results in children too short for their age because of a poor diet, affects more than 160 million children younger than five, the International Food Policy Research Institute said in its Global Nutrition Report. The number of hungry people in the world fell, but obesity rose between 2010 and 2014 “in every single country,” and one in 12 adults worldwide now has Type 2 diabetes, the report said. Adult diabetes is increasing in

185 countries and is decreasing or stable in just five. “Too often people think of malnutrition as just a problem of hungry kids in the poorest countries.... (It) has many forms and affects all countries, rich and poor alike,” said Corinna Hawkes, co-author of the report. “The coexistence of nutritional problems associated with extreme deprivation and obesity is the real face of malnutrition.” Two billion people are not eating the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals and thus face micronutrient malnutrition, while 1.9 billion adults are overweight or obese. Forty-five percent of all deaths of

children younger than five are related to malnutrition, the report said. In five large developing countries — Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Pakistan — 43 to 48 percent of children younger than five are not stunted or wasted, which means underweight for their age. Childhood malnutrition will have a dangerous impact on future development in those countries with fast-expanding populations because children will not reach their full physical or intellectual potential as adults, it said.

The sisters learned this year that hops don’t like wind and grasshoppers are attracted to the tender new hop flowers and leaves.

Luckily, grasshoppers only ate the bottom leaves and flowers, and the southeast wind didn’t last long. The hopyard is planted in a pasture on a quarter section of land once owned by the women’s family and is mostly protected by trees. The sisters bought back the quarter section in 2010, planted fruit trees and wondered what else they could grow on their rolling field. “We wanted to stay true to the agricultural heritage,” said FargeySmith. The idea for the hopyard began when Smith-Fargey’s son spent time in the Gatineau region of Quebec, where hops are grown throughout the region. “It was the seed of a thought that made sense,” Smith said. With the help of family and friends, the sisters chopped long larch poles from the nearby bush to use as braces for the wires that run 16 feet high across the hopyard. The hops were planted in the spring of 2013, and the hop bines wind their way up the paper cordage to the wires above. “It’s a unique crop. It’s a different way of utilizing the land,” said Smith, who lives in Calgary. The sisters also liked the diversity of hops. The hop plant produces more than just hops for beer. Chefs around the world also treasure the tender, white rhizomes that are dug out of the ground in spring. As well, the extra rhizomes growing off the main hop plant can be split and sold as starter plants to other hop producers, while the bines, or vines, can be sold as decoration in the horticulture industry. This spring, they shipped more than 100 rhizomes, or hops in a pot, to a brewery in Calgary to help establish a community of hop growers in that city. “They went like hotcakes,” said Smith-Fargey. Like grapes, the flavour of the hops is a reflection of the local environment. The sisters said Alberta

brewers want to use their hops, but they are looking for a consistent product and a steady supply. “Our purpose is to say it is doable,” said Smith-Fargey, who would like to see more hopyards in the province to fill the growing demand for hops from the craft brewing industry. “Our goal is to show the success of this venture for others producers who may be interested.” With no mentors, the pair learned by reading and trial and error. Finding the right variety for the region is key. The sisters will plant another six varieties next year to find the ideal variety for the growing conditions and the brewers. Next year they will begin adding organic fertilizer to the drip irrigation to boost production. Because they follow organic growing practices, the sisters had to learn what weight of paper to use to control weeds in the hopyard. The first paper was too light and didn’t control the weeds. Heavier paper applied this spring seems to do a better job. Hops are day length sensitive. They spend their energy growing vegetation before the summer solstice and set seed after the solstice at the end of June. However, the cones need to be mature and harvested before frost. Hops are sold fresh (wet) to local brewers, but they can also be dried, which is an art in itself to ensure the volatile oils in the hop cones are not damaged. The sisters plan to eventually build a oasthouse, or a drying shed, but are now using a homemade drying bed made from old screens that looks like a giant food dryer. It takes 10 to 12 hours of heat and air to dry the hops, which are then vacuum packed and shipped to brewers. An average hopyard will yield 1,500 kilograms of wet hops per acre.

ABOVE: Larch poles were cut out of the nearby bush to stake the hop bines. The hopyard has five varieties of hops on slightly less than one acre. RIGHT: Hops are the female flowers of the hop plant and are used to flavour beer. The yellow lupulin inside the hop cone is what is used for flavouring.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE After two harvests, the sisters don’t know what would be considered an average harvest of hops in their yard. Recent changes to brewing regulations have encouraged dozens of small craft and microbreweries to open in the province. The supply of hops is tightly controlled with

most coming from British Columbia and Washington. Brewers buy hops through forward contracts three or four years ahead of the year they are needed. Brewers are concerned that the growing demand for craft beer might result in a shortage of hops. “We’re stepping into that spot market. We will supply the gap,”

said Smith. Maltsters, brewers and urban gardeners visited the hopyard this summer for a field day to learn about hop production and get a sense of the industry. “It’s just a really interesting crop that no one knows anything about,” said Smith-Fargey.

Canadian brand easy sell in U.S. A producer of cold pressed canola oil says U.S. consumers think well of northern neighbour BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The president of a company that produces cold pressed canola oil near Saskatoon says many American consumers want to buy food that comes from the Prairies. “Safe food, a healthy climate and knowing where the food is coming from or produced … is very, very important to the consumer,” said Rick Pender of the Virtex Group of Companies, who recently attended a food show in Baltimore to promote the firm’s North Prairie Gold Extra Virgin Canola Oil. Virtex Farm Foods, owned and controlled by 110 farmers in northern and central Saskatchewan, operates a canola crushing plant north of Saskatoon. The farmers in the group, collectively known as North Prairie Family Farms, deliver Clearfield canola to the plant, where employees cold press the oilseed according to European standards and convert it to extra virgin canola oil. Virtex launched North Prairie Gold in March at a health food show in Anaheim, California. The non-genetically modified certified product was on store shelves in June. Pender said the extra virgin canola oil is sold at Federated Co-

op stores in Canada and at health food stores in the United States. Progressive Grocer, a food industry publication, recognized North Prairie Gold in September with its Editors’ Pick Award for best new products. Virtex said North Prairie Gold is unique because cold pressing preserves the oil’s “abundant nutrients” and the oil is a good source of omega 3 and vitamin E. Pender said the award will open many doors, but Virtex is also counting on its prairie roots. “Our marketing team is out of the United States,” Pender said. “They have indicated to us, from day one, make sure you (label) it as a product of Canada.” Pender said health food buyers want to know where food originates. Many U.S. customers think of the Prairies as a place that produces safe and pristine food, he added. “(We are) constantly talking about where it’s grown, how it’s grown, how healthy it is,” he said. “People (Americans) may not know where Saskatchewan is … but they know the Canadian Prairies.” Lee Anne Murphy, executive director of the Manitoba AgriHealth Research Network, agreed the Prairies’ brand is known in the U.S. and many other parts of the world.

WHAT IS COLD PRESSED? Cold pressing is a traditional method of removing oil in which seeds are not heated before, during or after the pressing process. Instead, seeds are mechanically pressed at a slow pace to limit friction and avoid elevating temperatures above 60 C. The colour, taste, and odour are much more pronounced. • Cold-pressed oils are usually sold in health food stores, and usually cost more than refined oils. They have a higher content of antioxidant (Vitamin E), which inhibits the absorption of cholesterol, and a significantly lower content of trans fatty acids. • No regulation protects the Canadian consumer against oils falsely labelled “cold pressed.” • “Solvent free” canola oil is also known as Expeller, first press, or pure press oil. The solvent called hexane is not used during the extraction process. Source: Canola Council of Canada

To leverage that identify, the health research network has developed a branding program called the Canadian Climate Advantage. Manitoba food products qualify for the program if they offer health

benefits such as disease prevention and if the food is grown in a sustainable manner. The network has applied the Canadian Climate Advantage label to about six of its food products, including pinto bean flour, milled flax flour and Snax, a puffy snack made from pulses. “Right now, it’s on our own test market products,” she said. “We will look for a company to go for ward w ith the … product. Whether they carry the branding is clearly a commercial decision for them.” However, she said branding prairie food is more than using images of open skies and green landscapes. Hard evidence is required to support a branding campaign Part of the research network’s mandate is to foster the scientific research supporting the idea that food products and food ingredients from Western Canada have unique and healthful qualities. “Most of the products we’re able to grow in the Prairies (such as flax, canola and buckwheat) … already have those inherit healthy elements we’re looking for,” Murphy said. “(But) I’m more of the conservative side that says, ‘prove it.’ ” robert.arnason@producer.com

F R A N K F U R T, G e r m a n y (Reuters) —Syngenta plans to sell its vegetable seeds business as it seeks to raise money for a share buyback, according to sources familiar with the matter. The company, whose main business is making pesticides, is under pressure to offer tangible rewards to shareholders after it turned its back on a $47 billion bid from Monsanto. It said this month it plans to buy back more than $2 billion worth of stock to boost investor returns. The company has asked JP Morgan to organize the sale of the vegetable seeds business, which could fetch around $2 billion, the sources said. The unit had sales of $663 million last year, representing four percent of group sales. Information packages on the unit, which includes a strong tomato seed business, are expected to be sent to prospective buyers as early as this month, and tentative bids are likely to be due before Christmas, they added. The vegetable seeds business is likely to appeal to other large agricultural chemicals groups, although sources said some of them may shy away because of antitrust concerns. S m a l l e r p l ay e r s s e e k i n g t o expand their product range may also bid, they added. In the seeds business, Syngenta competes with big companies such as DuPont, Dow, Bayer and Monsanto. Smaller competitors include Israel’s Adama, majorityowned by ChemChina, Australia’s Nufarm, Germany’s KWS Saat, France’s Vilmorin and Limagrain. Some smaller firms may join forces in a potential bid because of the size of the asset, one of the sources said. KWS and Limagrain have partnered in the past, merging their North American corn seeds businesses in 2000 to form AgReliant, the third largest player in corn seeds in the United States. KWS, a supplier of conventionally bred seeds, said in June that it would look at vegetable seed assets if Syngenta or Monsanto planned to sell them. The vegetable seeds unit represents a small proportion of Syngenta’s revenue, but it is the most profitable of its seeds businesses. It has gross profit margins of much more than 60 percent compared with 45 percent for all seeds last year. However, the need to raise cash for the share buyback has persuaded Syngenta to part with it, according to the sources. Valuation multiples in vegetable seeds are “quite easily” in the three to six times sales range, Syngenta’s finance chief said earlier this month, although industry bankers said the business was more likely to fetch a multiple of around three.

QUAIL MARKETING

Processing on farm gets birds to market Mobile slaughter trailer enables quail operators to process 600 birds a day to meet demand from restaurants and retailers BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

ARDROSSAN, Alta. — A quail farm is spreading its wings and adding a mobile poultry processing facility to the business. Arnie and Shirley Morris have raised quail for table eggs for almost 30 years, but they couldn’t find a way to economically process the tiny birds for the meat market. The cost of slaughtering quail at other poultry slaughter facilities was too expensive. After pressure from consumers and retailers who wanted the delicacy, the family bought a custommade mobile slaughter plant from British Columbia this spring that allows them to process the quail on their own farm. With buyers in Calgary and Edmonton, the family believed they had enough demand to buy the mobile slaughter plant inside a 28 foot trailer.

“If we can find 50 restaurants to take 50 birds a month, that would really work,” said Shirley. “The meat is very tender compared to other white meat, which made us think it will get off the ground.” Just like the birds, the small slaughter plant on wheels is a miniature version of large poultry plants. Inside the trailer are wash sinks, an office, washroom, vacuum packer, chilling tank, ice-maker and processing unit. The killing and plucking equipment is at the rear of the trailer. “It seemed to be a perfect fit,” said Shirley. A provincial meat inspector and monitors the family four days a month as they pluck, process and freeze the quail for meat. It takes four or five people on a good day to process 600 quail. With practice, they hope to increase production and increase the number of processing days. They raise 2,000

Son and daughter-in-law Dylan and Elizabeth Morris look after the processing facility, while another son and daughter-in-law, Conn and Juliana, raise quail eggs at their own farm near Kelsey, about an hour away. The eggs are sold fresh or pickled. Shirley and Arnie raise 15,000 hens at the main Ardrossan farm, which lay 10,000 quail eggs a day for sale throughout Western Canada. Another 3,000 birds are waiting to go into the egg cages, while male quail birds are sold as meat. The family has slaughtered quail to eat at their own table for years, but it has taken a few adjustments in water temperature and equip-

ment to set the new slaughter equipment for quails instead of chickens. “It is still a work in progress. It’s going a lot better than it was when we started,” said Arnie. Proposed changes to the poultry inspection system will soon allow trained staff, rather than provincial meat inspectors, to monitor the slaughter process. The changes would allow the family to move the slaughter dates, usually two days a week, to the weekends, when they can get more help to slaughter the birds. The family might eventually consider taking the trailer to area farms that need a facility to slaughter their birds. Many backyard poultry producers have no place to slaughter their chickens now that the province’s largest independent poultry facility in St. Paul has closed. “It is an opportunity,” said Shirley. mary.macarthur@producer.com

The farm collects about 10,000 eggs per day and sells them fresh or pickled.

COST REDUCTION

Railways adjust to bearish economic signals A drop in shipping demand has sparked layoffs and capital spending reductions among major rail companies BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s major railways are reducing workforces, downsizing fleets and altering spending plans in response to reduced growth prospects in the North American economy and lower demand for rail services. Canadian National Railway has issued layoffs to 600 train conductors and parked 200 locomotives,

executive vice-president Luc Jobin told a recent investors conference in Boston. It is also adjusting capital spending programs and dedicating fewer resources to capacity expansion and more to maintenance of its existing network. “We’ve really just tried to be very nimble in terms of adjusting to the reality we see for the remainder of the year,” Jobin said. Fleet renewal plans will not be

Canadian Pacific Railway has also adjusted operations in response to muted demand. CP president Keith Creel said his company is operating with fewer people, fewer cars and fewer locomotives. He said CP will have less Canadian grain to move this year

because of reduced carryout stocks and an average to slightly above average harvest. Crude oil shipments are also down, a result of low crude prices and reduced margins in the oil and gas industry. “We’ve got more locomotives stored … we’ve got fewer cars out on the railway and we’re using fewer crews to move the existing business, so we’ve adjusted our assets based on the demand,” Creel

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.

IT’S A PROVEN FACT (that 25 years adds up to a lot of facts)

said during a recent investors conference in Montreal. He did not say how many workers have been laid off at CP. The companies described workforce reductions and operational adjustments as short-term measures, adding that workers, cars and locomotives could be redeployed quickly in response to increased demand. Both railways expect Canadian grain demand to be lower for the remainder of the 2015-16 crop year than it was 12 months earlier. Creel said CP expects Canadian yields to be slightly higher than what was initially predicted. “We think it’s going to be about an average crop, maybe a little bit more,” he said. “I think Statistics Canada is (estimating) somewhere around 58 million metric tonnes, (but) we wouldn’t be surprised to see that creep up to 59 or 60 (based on) some of the intelligence from some of the grain companies that we do business with.” Creel said his company will benefit from a large, high quality harvest in Manitoba, which could result in more grain cars shipped across the Prairies to west coast ports. U.S. farmers are anticipating a large harvest, but early movements have been slow. American producers delivered old crop supplies in August to make room for the 2015 harvest, but as of mid-September, U.S. grain deliveries were behind their normal pace, influenced by a strong U.S. dollar, ample grain supplies and weaker global demand for U.S. grains. “The (U.S.) farmers are doing what you would expect the farmers to do: they’re sitting on that harvest,” Creel told investors. “Our intel says they’ve moved about 10 percent of what (normally) would be about 25 percent of the crop at this point. It’s going to move, we just don’t know exactly when.” Jobin predicted that the Canadian crop will be 10 percent below the five-year average. He said carry-in stocks were likely 12.5 million tonnes as of Aug. 1 and could drop to as low as 9.5 million tonnes at the beginning of the 2016-17 crop year based on current harvest estimates. Jobin said CN’s success at clearing a large backlog of Canadian grain from the 2014-15 crop year has reduced “a lot of the noise in terms of regulatory intervention” in Canada. brian.cross@producer.com

Deere increases threshing capacity Controls on the larger Dyna Flow shoe automatically adjust sieve and chaffer settings BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WAT E R L O O , I o w a — J o h n Deere’s 2016 combines didn’t get bigger when it came to horsepower, but they did get larger. The Deere S series has received a larger cleaning sieve and a new shoe drive system. As well, a beefier drive belt keeps the bigger grain processor running. The company says it has double the tensile strength of its predecessor and will last longer.

KEVIN RIPPLE

The Dyna Flow shoe on S series Deere combines is 12 percent longer and has management controls that automatically adjust sieve and chaffer settings and fan speed, to keep a more even layer of material on the shoe during up and downhill operation. | JOHN DEERE ILLUSTRATION

JOHN DEERE

Kevin Ripple of John Deere told dealers that their customers could expect a 13 percent increase in canola and wheat threshing capacity. “In crops like canola and wheat, where you can be shoe-limited, this gives farmers a big boost in performance,” he said. “It’s like adding another one and half hours to the day without running the combine to get it.” Deere’s Todd Verheecke said the added capacity on the 12 percent bigger cleaning sieve also reduces returns to tailings by up to 28 percent. “No small things in small grains and oilseeds,” he said. The width of the sieve had to remain the same, but it became 12 percent longer. Adding weight would be an issue for the design, so Deere used aluminum, which cut 160 kilograms from the previous unit’s total. However, adding more grain does result in more weight for the processor, so stronger bearings and pulleys were installed as well as a heavier structure to carry the load. Not every field is flat and even, so Deere put in a new system that manages the fore and aft movement of grain on the chaffer and sieve. Grain tends to accelerate over the

back end when a combine is running up a hill, which results in losses. It piles up on the front and

sent to tailings when headed down a grade, which results in unnecessary reprocessing, poor samples and plugging of the return. Jon Gilbeck, who heads up John Deere’s Harvester Works in East Moline, Illinois, said the ability to manage that puts more money in producers’ pockets. “It decreases tailings and load on the re-thresher. (It) automatically adjusts, opening up the sieve and chaffer automatically and slowing down that fan,” he said. “Downhill, it’s going to tighten the sieve and chaffer and speed up

the fan to (improve separation and rearward movement).” The shoe will add up to 1.5 hours in daily capacity, which will provide some sample quality and loss advantages. “The system can reduce tailings by up to 35 percent,” he said. “Losses can be cut by $32 to $64 per acre for those farmers who have land that rolls heavily.” The company has also added something that a few farmers have already done themselves: an air compressor. It puts out a steady 90 pounds per sq. inch and is driven

by the engine. “Onboard air allows you to leave the material from that field and that crop behind,” Gilbeck said. “Great for seed growers and for cleaning out during any downtime during moves.” mike.raine@producer.com

DATA MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Eye in the sky puts money in farmers’ pockets Collecting data and remotely watching over field operations allow producers to adjust management systems BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers Edge started in 2005 as a Winnipeg-based prescription agronomy company. However, in the age of big data and big international competitors, the company needed an aggressive growth strategy to stay relevant. Trevor Sherman, who manages accounts for the company in Saskatchewan, said it accomplished this goal by expanding services and the region in which it operates. Farmers Edge demonstrated its service at a farm show near Saskatoon this summer by installing its CanPlug technology in a Versatile tractor that was used in a seeding demonstration on the show grounds. “In the device is actually a cellphone, a GPS signal and a computer, so it’s collecting data from the tractor and some of the implements all the time,” Sherman said. The device can be installed in any of the major equipment brands, and he said operators will not notice it’s there, aside from the GPS and cell antenna on the roof. The plug automatically exports the machine’s operational data to Far mers Edge’s cloud-based FarmCommand data management platform, where farm managers can access the information in real time from their personal computers. Producers can see their machine’s travel speed and fuel consumption on a map, which superimposes legal land descriptions on the display. Seeders can also be outfitted with a CanPlug to track where and when product and seed are delivered in a field. A CanPlug is also placed in sprayers and combines, which allows producers to track and manage all of the field operations on their farm. Field and harvest data that was gathered by producers before they subscribed to Farmers Edge can be imported into the FarmCommand software, which allows the company to immediately have a longterm perspective on a field. All of the information collected and imported into Farmers Edge data management programs is then used by company agronomists to help develop farm management strategies on a farm-byfarm basis, including the creation of management zones and variable rate prescription maps. “We also put up weather stations on your land,” Sherman said. “So the goal is, we want to know your land, we want to soil test your land, we want to prescribe a prescription for your land, then at the end of it, take your harvest map and take all that data, including the weather, and say, ‘here is what you did, here is what happened with the weather, here is the outcome.’” Sherman said the goal is to learn from all information year after year to help producers make adjustments and become more efficient. As well, in-season normalized

difference vegetation index satellite imagery helps the Farmers Edge program be a real time decision-making tool. “Satellite imagery is part of the service,” Sherman said. “To do variable rate with Farmers Edge, it’s $3.95 an acre. That includes variable rate, building the zones, that’s soil testing the zones, that’s cam plugs in all your seeding equipment, your harvest equipment and your spraying equipment.”

The goal is … take your harvest map and take all that data, including the weather, and say, ‘here is what you did, here is what happened with the weather, here is the outcome.’ TREVOR SHERMAN, FARMERS EDGE

To capitalize on the move toward carbon sequestration, Farmers Edge allows producers to document and demonstrate best management practices. Alberta has a

carbon-offset program, which requires three years of detailed data for producers to qualify. Farmers Edge can supply this information, which has allowed

producers to recover some of the cost of the service. Farmers Edge has offices in the United States, Australia, Russia, Argentina and Brazil. An example of its growing international profile is its partnership with Dow Agro Sciences in an initiative that uses sustainability gains in agriculture to help offset the carbon footprint of the 2016 Olympic games in Rio, Brazil. robin.booker@producer.com

CROP OUTLOOK

Sask. soybean yields looking high BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

After 15 years of growing soybeans Kevin Elmy may set a yield record this fall. Elmy, who runs Friendly Acres Seed Farm near Saltcoats, Sask, began harvesting approximately 500 acres of beans Sept. 27. With 60 acres complete, as of Sept. 28, he was averaging around 45 bushels per acre. “We’ve been growing soybeans since 2000 and our average is 28 over those years,” said Elmy, who attributed the fantastic yields to ideal weather this summer and fall. Elmy said soybean fields around

Saltcoats look tremendous and most crops should yield well over 30 bu. per acre. Reports from late August and early September indicated that soybean fields in most of eastern Saskatchewan were in excellent shape going into har vest, www.producer. com/2015/09/soybeans-thrillgrowers-in-sask-this-year/. If the crop reaches its potential, there is a chance that Saskatchewan yields could equal or exceed soybean yields in Manitoba. Dennis Lange, Manitoba Agriculture farm production adviser in Altona, said yields in Manitoba could be similar to last fall’s average of 34 bu. per acre.

DECATUR, Ill. — Haying and forage operations don’t usually warrant tractors specific to that use, but Case IH aims one of its new machines at that market. The Optum isn’t designed as a single-use tractor but by adding an ISOBUS Class 3 facet to its LB3 and 4 square balers, Case has paired the new tractor to the baler. Recent profitability in the livestock sector has made most farm machinery manufacturers look to that sector for increased sales. The result is several new products for the animal agriculture area. For Case IH, it meant a new tractor line between its big row crop and fixedframe seeding machines, the Magnum, and smaller forage and row crop line, the Puma. Charlie O’Brien of the American Equipment Manufacturers Association said earlier this season that most of the companies that produce equipment for the sector have experienced solid growth in sales and as a result have been focusing research and development in that area. “They are being responsive, and with cropped commodities being down, and there being a lot (of new) machinery on the farm right now, companies are focusing on their strengths. That means new technology for forage and livestock,” he said. Jim Walker heads Case IH’s North American division and said the smaller tractor segment has done far better than high horsepower machines, so adding a new machine in this range makes sense. “Our (research and development) has been able to move its focus from engine emissions to features and products that serve farmers operational needs,” he said at the recent the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois. Dave Bogen markets tractors for

the company and said the new machine is “more than a higher horsepower Puma.” He said the Optum represents producers’ first look at what Case IH tractors will have for design and styling in the coming years.

The Optum will still fit with smaller air seeders, grain carts and planters, at 240 or 270 power takeoff horsepower (270 and 300 engine), but big balers and manure hauling and spreading are obvious applications for the CV T-only transmission equipped machines. The transmission will carry the machine all the way from creeper to 40 km-h. For roading, the machine’s new hydraulic brakes with antilock and reactive steering that returns the wheel to centre when released improve safety. At the rear end, the Optum has 540 and 1,000 r.p.m. p.t.o. speeds, as well as electronically governed versions of both. The back end, with the three-point hitch option, can lift 19,200 pounds and the front can lift 9,800 lb. A front-end p.t.o. is also available with 1,000 and 1,000E, aimed at the triple or front mower haying configurations. For producers looking for hydraulic heavy tasks, such as air

seeder or planter fans, the Optums come standard with 46 U.S. gallon per minute pumps. An optional 58 is available, but maximum flow on a single coupler is 37. The 4.75 class, suspended front axle, shared with the larger Magnum, can be outfitted with duals and relies on old-school outboard planetaries to get the power to the wheels. The fuel tank on the Optum is 166 U.S. gallons, 60 more than a similar sized Puma 240 and six bigger than last season’s Magnum 240, both about 270 h.p. Weight, without ballast, for the Optum is about 23,000 lb., versus 21,000 lb. and 16,000 lb. for the other two. The cab gets the AFS Pro 700 display as a standard feature, along with its precision agriculture tools. The tool also provides feedback on the LB334 and 434 large square balers, including density, moisture and miss ties. And most importantly for the pairing, an automated material feed control. The feed-rate control on the new balers will set the optimal speed for the tractor to make the best bales it can. “Up to nine percent more efficient. That is a lot bales in a day,” said Bogen. For growers who want control over the number of slices they want from each bale, slice thickness is factored into the ground travel speed and that is used to automatically set tractor ground speed. The tool allows inexperienced forage harvesting operators to be efficient and build more desirable bales, he said. mike.raine@producer.com

NITROGEN LEVELS

Fall soil test provides portrait of field fertility PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR, PAg

oil testing creates many options, but the primary reason most growers soil test is to take a snapshot of the nitrogen levels in their fields. This is because nitrogen levels can fluctuate greatly due to environmental and crop growth conditions from year to year. Other nutrient levels are important, but nitrogen is the largest contributor to yield and part of most fertilizer budgets. Nitrogen recommendations based on soil tests are most accurate when samples are taken as near to the time of seeding as possible. However, spring seeding on the Prairies is a busy time, and soil testing doesn’t always work out if it is a wet or late spring. The database used to create recommendations by the soil test lab are based on either spring or fall soil samples, and more than 80 percent of prairie soil samples are taken in the fall. That’s because it usually has the widest window for sampling and allows time for analysis and purchase of fertilizer when the price is at its lowest level. The factors that affect the differences in fall and spring nutrient changes also determine when one should start soil sampling at the end of the growing season. It is important to understand the issues that influence nitrogen soil test levels between early fall and spring seeding.

crop will not hide available nitrogen from the test results. Sampling depth should be zero to 15 cm and 15 to 60 cm where possible. This is especially true this fall, when variable rainfall might have resulted in nutrients showing up at varying depths. A zero to 15 cm depth is particularly important for accurate phosphorus, potassium, soil pH, percentage organic matter, zinc and other micronutrients that are tested only on the surface core. It can be unreliable to compare

year to year results if previous samples were taken at zero to 30 cm depths. Research has shown that the most accurate portrayal of the large fields is accomplished using management zones derived from satellite imagery, topographic maps and previous yield maps. Electrical conductivity mapping can be used to augment this information. The information can also be used to direct samplers to a location to either sample or avoid. The tools aid producers in devel-

oping a reliable composite sample of a zone. Grid sampling can be d o n e, b u t t h e No r t h D a k o t a research suggests that the grids should be no bigger than one acre to paint an accurate portrait of the nutrient reserves. At this size, the cost is generally considered prohibitive by most producers. Farmers who don’t do the sampling themselves should look for a reputable sampler who employs trained staff and who works with an established soil analysis lab. The lab should use a recommen-

dation engine that is based on prairie yields and conditions. One of the most important things farmers can do is actually use the recommendations when making their fertility plans for next year. Far too often, farmers take soil tests but then use the same fertilizer blends and rates that were used in the previous year. Why? That, I don’t know. Thom Weir is an agronomist with Farmer’s Edge.

Ideal time Fall soil testing and nitrogen application can start earlier than once thought. Studies done by North Dakota State University and Westco Fertilizers found few changes in nitrogen levels from September to October. Soil testing can begin any time in September, and fall banding can start in mid-September on well drained soil. On poorly drained soil, wait until soil temperatures are less than 5 or 6 C, usually by early to mid-October. Early sampling has its advantages: • Growers are more likely to use the test results to direct fall nitrogen application if soil test results are in hand and available soon enough to consider before hitting the field to prepare for next year’s crops. • Soil sampling before fall tillage will result in a more consistent and reliable zero to 15 centimetre sample core. • Fields are more likely to be sampled in the first place. • Regrowth, germination and second growth of the harvested

he Helle Fjellkniven from Homedal, Norway, has a nearly four inch long blade made from a carbon steel core laminated between two layers of stainless steel, which results in an 1/8 inch thick spine. The knife, which weighs slightly less than four ounces, has a stick tang that goes all the way through an attractive handle of curly birch that is slightly more than four inches long. The Helle Fjellkniven is designed to be an all-purpose belt knife. The drop-point blade has a Scandinavian style grind, which is short and flat. It comes with a leather sheath. The knife’s thin blade and “Scandia” edge makes it an excellent choice for processing game and light bush crafting tasks. The blade’s carbon core provides the cutting edge, which performed well in a variety of outdoor tasks. The polished stainless steel outer layers protected the core from corrosion, which combined the best characteristics of both carbon and stainless steels. The excellent factory edge retained its sharpness well and was easy to restore after much use. The curly birch handle was attractive to the eye and capped with a stainless steel bolster along its face. The handle was comfortable to use in a variety of grips and felt sure even when wet. Unfortunately, it is not long enough to be effective for those with large hands. Although a stick tang may be a traditional design choice, it is weaker than a full tang design, which limits the uses for the knife. The pouch style sheath is also attractive and matches the look of the knife. Of course, leather is difficult to keep sanitary after much use, and this particular sheath didn’t have a drain hole. Leather can also retain moisture, which would corrode even stainless steel if unchecked. The sheath did not come with a welt, but the shaping of the leather seemed to do an adequate job to protect the stitching from the blade edge. Its design and quality manufacturing make it a good match for the knife in the traditional sense. We were impressed when testing the Helle Fjellkniven. It did a remarkable job in processing game, bush crafting and camp tasks. The laminated steel blade and wood handle performed well. Our biggest problem was the relatively short handle, which may not be an issue for some owners with medium or small hands. Helle Fjellkniven is an excellent product for a reasonably moderate price. It is made in a traditional Scandinavian style and performs well. It has some shortcomings, but they are small compared to the overall value of the tool. We definitely plan on testing some of the other knife models that Helle has to offer with larger handles. Kim Quintin is a Saskatoon outdoor enthusiast and knife maker.

DAIRY GOATS

Cheese sales drive Ontario goat milk demand Demand for goat milk is strong but the meat sector faces challenges BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — Ontario’s milk goat flock could increase by 60 percent, which would bolster production and the number of young farmers entering the industry. “The dairy goat processing here has capacity in excess of 100 million litres,” Ontario Dairy Goat Cooperative general manager Keith Cummings said at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock in September. “We’re the largest of all the co-ops in the province (for goat milk). We control most of the milk in the province — 60 percent plus.” Approximately 250 producers raise dairy goats in Ontario, and total production is close to 40 million litres, which makes the province one of North America’s largest producers of goat milk. About 95 percent of the milk is made into goat cheese. The co-operative acts as the broker for 115 dairy goat farmers, who produce 22 million litres of milk a

The dairy goat co-op delivers milk from across Ontario to processors. The logistics of pickup and delivery are a major expense,

Cummings said. Among the growing number of producers are Jeff and Becky Smith, who supply milk to a plant at Hagersville, a short drive from their farm near Caledonia.

“My grandmother always said, ‘the money is in the milk.’ She was talking cows. I’m talking goats,” Jeff Smith said. “We had to make a call, either getting big into sheep, which wouldn’t

have supported it, or milk goats.” The couple works full time on the farm with 330 milking goats, which are the equivalent of 33 cows, and 400 acres of farmland. They say good husbandr y is essential to their success. Goats are intelligent but also vulnerable to disease. Clean water, good feed and an observant eye are essential to success. Terry McNeeley, a director with Ontario Goat, which represents dairy and meat goat producers, said the demand for goat milk is strong, but there have been challenges for producers focusing on meat production. “There are well over 200 dairy goat farmers in Ontario. There are many more meat goat farmers, but they tend to be small herds.” McNeely said the U.S market for Ontario goat meat has dried up since the BSE crisis of the early 2000s. It’s still possible to ship to the United States, but disease-free standards are required. Meat producers also face competition from the milk side of the goat industry because milk producers market their male kids for meat. McNeely said he been involved in both sides of the goat industry. He used to manage a large dairy but today keeps 100 Boer females as well as sheep.

HAY MARKET

Hay prices stabilize, down from spring highs Farmers facing a shortage may opt for pellets, greenfeed, alfalfa or lentil straw BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

After skyrocketing in early July, hay prices in Saskatchewan are no longer at astronomical levels. The spring drought in the western Prairies pushed online hay prices to record or near record levels in many regions the first few weeks of July. Sellers were asking $150 to $250 a ton for baled forage, depending on quality. Trevor Lennox, Saskatchewan Agriculture’s forage specialist in Swift Current, said the hay market is much softer now, particularly in western Saskatchewan. “I’m not seeing the hay really move at those (high) prices (anymore),” he said. “A month and a half or two months ago … it was…. There will still be a shortage in some regions … but the demand seen in late June and early July has certainly lessened.” Lennox said 150 to 200 millimetres of rain have fallen in most of western Saskatchewan since the middle of July. The moisture stimulated re-growth, and many producers in the region achieved decent hay yields in August. “Not only on the hayland but on the annual cropland, there’s lots of regrowth,” he said. “I talked to a producer this morning (Sept. 28) and he took a second cut on his greenfeed, which is very rare.” Jim Chaplin, a rancher and hay

producer from Fort Qu’Appelle, Sask., said online prices may have been high early in the summer but few hay buyers actually paid the premium. “I think there were a lot of guys thinking they were going to sell their product at an exorbitant amount,” he said. “I don’t think they (were) getting it.”

Historically, early in the year everybody has their hay (price) up fairly high. Just because it’s advertised for a certain price doesn’t necessarily mean that’s exactly what it’s trading for. NEIL MACDONALD RANCHER

Chaplin said he typically sells hay at five cents per lb., or $100 per ton. “There are areas in southern Alberta where there are shortages … there are areas in southern Saskatchewan where there are shortages, but I’m (priced) at five cents a lb., where I’ve always been,” he said. “I don’t think I’m out of line.” Neil MacDonald, who runs a custom grazing operation and raises cattle near Rockglen, Sask., agreed that hay prices may have been strong in early July but sales were weak. “Historically, early in the year

everybody has their hay (price) up fairly high. Just because it’s advertised for a certain price doesn’t necessarily mean that’s exactly what it’s trading for,” he said. “Talking with a number of people … from what I can gather there wasn’t a huge amount of hay that actually traded hands…. I believe there was hay that maybe traded as high as $190, in that range, (but) with hay prices that high … there were a lot of people that held off to see what this cattle market was really going to do.” MacDonald said producers faced with a hay shortage could opt for pellets or the greenfeed market. Online postings in Alberta and Saskatchewan suggest a fair amount of oat and wheat greenfeed is available. Chaplin agreed that cattle producers won’t pay a premium for hay when other options are available. “My son runs a big ranch up in Chamberlain, (Sask.). They’re doing greenfeed and straw, and they will manage with that,” he said. Lennox said greenfeed will allow producers to stretch their hay supply, but prices for alfalfa and other sources of feed will likely remain above average in Saskatchewan. “We’re definitely going to see more demand for the bottom end feed this year … lentil straw or cereal straw.” robert.arnason@producer.com

SUSTAINABLE BEEF REQUIREMENTS

Producers test McDonald’s sustainable beef requirements BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

McDonald’s Canada has released its requirements for sustainable beef production. The fast food chain has committed to offering beef produced in a sustainable way from Canadian farms by 2016 and has promised to fund the verification process for up to 300 participants. Only a portion of the Canadian beef served in 2016 will come from verified sustainable operations, said McDonald’s spokesperson Jeffrey Fitzpatrick-Stillwell.

“It will not be a huge quantity that has gone through all those steps,” he said. Eventually the corporation wants all its supplies to come from verified sustainable production units including fish, dairy, eggs, oils and fibre used for packaging. Scored on indicators So far, nearly 150 ranchers and processors have been testing the requirements in a pilot program, and 34 have been verified. Indicators are offered for calf-cow operators, fed cattle and processors.

The five indicator categories cover: • Natural resources, such as ensuring soil health, water quality, wildlife and plant biodiversity. • Community and people, which includes commitment to support local communities. • Animal health and welfare, mitigating-minimizing animal stress and pain. • Food, such as ensuring food safety and beef quality. • Efficiency and innovation, such as recycling and energy efficiency. The private verification company

Where Food Comes From will evaluate sustainable practices among participating beef producers, and professionally trained verifiers will score the indicators on a five point scale. A score of three or higher is needed on critical indicators, and an average of three or higher is needed for each of the five principles. The process will eventually be handed to the Canadian Round Table on Sustainable Beef. The roundtable has 42 members and 40 observers. The crops sector is developing its own sustainable requirements, and eventually all

sectors will collaborate to create indicators for all of Canadian agriculture, she said. Canada is testing the program, which starts at the cow-calf level. McDonald’s did not request feed from verified sustainable farms because the Canadian round table for sustainable crops has just begun, said Fitzpatrick-Stillwell. Eventually the company plans to take what was learned in Canada to its restaurants worldwide. For more information, contact infor@mcdvsb.com. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

HISTORIC BAR S RANCH

Century ranch relies on efficient grazing plan Family operation has changed with technology, but land and water stewardship continue to play role in sustainability BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

NANTON, Alta. — A lone deer bounces through the tall grasses and forbs before it disappears into a grove of trees ablaze with fall colours. Hawks drift overhead. “We’ve got lots of everything here,” said Clay Chattaway, whose family has been taking care of the Bar S Ranch west of Nanton in the Porcupine Hills for nearly 100 years. The historic ranch comprises 20,000 acres of deeded and lease land with shares in the Waldron Grazing Co-op to the south. It was awarded the Alberta Beef Producers 2015 environmental stewardship award to recognize the family’s nearly 100 years of dedication caring for the land, water, livestock and wildlife. Clay’s grandfather, Rod Macleay, bought the original property from entrepreneur Pat Burns in 1919, and it was eventually passed on to the Macleay’s daughters, Dorothy Margaret and Gertrude Maxine, who was Clay’s mother. The family has developed a keen sense of history, which includes Clay’s long-term project of writing his father’s biography. Maxine Chattaway was a talented water colourist and sculptor and along with her sister, produced the Rocking P Gazette, which they wrote and illustrated around 1923 to depict local news. The newspaper is now archived at the University of Calgary. Ranches in this area look like wide open spaces, but at one time the area had 60 homesteads, of which 54 were occupied. The land was not suited to cultivation and has reverted back to rangeland. “With the homestead regulations, they had to ‘improve’ the land,” Clay said. In his opinion, ranching improves the land, and there is no cultivation or farming on this place. These days, Clay and his wife Avril live on the property with three sons and their families. Morgan and Scott work on the ranch, while Chris works on reclamation and remediation in the oil patch but is available for major jobs. This is a modern ranch where the entire family pitches in as cow hands. Much work is done the old fashioned way on horseback, but there are likely Tim Hortons coffee cups in the truck. The family tracks their cattle’s performance using sophisticated databases and high speed internet. Electric fences have replaced barbed wire, and fewer people are needed to do the work. “Labour requirements here aren’t anywhere near what they were when I was 20 years old,” Clay said. “We used to have upwards of seven to eight people to do haying, and now maybe we need three or two.” Decisions are made by consensus. Record keeping is essential, and annual plans are required to

manage the large tracts of grazing land. Clay’s grandfather kept records in what he called a cattle log, and information is maintained to this day. The ranch is a verified beef cattle operation through Canada’s beef on farm food safety program, and an environmental farm plan has been completed. Clay’s father often said every year is a dry year and some years are drier than others. The area usually receives 450 to 550 millimetres, but this year rain was infrequent, so the forage crops are average. There was good subsoil moisture for an early surge of grass, but not much regrowth followed. That is when tried and true management comes in. The ranch is a commercial cowcalf and yearling operation, which turns out its own yearlings as well as purchased cattle on grass. If forage supplies are low, these cattle can be sold and the cow herd can stay intact. Feed management The goal is year-round grazing, but weaned calves are fed hay before turning out for the winter. “If we get the kind of winter we want, we don’t have to feed a cow,” he said. They use Beefbooster bulls on cows that weigh around 1,100 pounds or less. “An efficient grazing animal looks after herself, raises a calf, and the environment dictates that she is not very big,” Clay said. “Most people who ranch in this part of Alberta still ranch on the same premise that the cow has to look after herself.” The grazing plan is common sense. “The more places you can keep cattle off, the more grass you have got in recovery, and that is the basis of grazing,” he said. “People use the word rotation. It is a grossly over-used phrase. What it is in a ranching environment is planned grazing. You plan where to be and where not to be.” Electric fencing has tripled the number of fields on the ranch. There are an average of five herds, and each herd has 15 or more paddocks it can graze to allow vegetation to recover. In some cases, this allows for grazing multiple times. Each paddock is managed to leave plenty of cover and more than enough forage for wildlife. The ranch once used fences to keep cattle out of patches of larkspur and other toxic plants, but cattle are now either put into those areas before the weeds become poisonous or are moved through quickly so that they don’t eat enough to be harmed. The highest point on the ranch is 5,000 feet, while the main ranch buildings are at 4,000 feet. Springs throughout the high ridges are a blessing. The family has installed 18 to 20 off-stream watering systems, in which large tires from the mining

The gravity fed springs keep the troughs full of cold, clear water that does not freeze. The overflow runs into a nearby creek. “They still drink out of the creek, but they choose to drink out of a

place that is easier to get to like this,” Clay said. “We are at the top of the watershed, and if there is snow at the top of the watershed we get runoff.” Understanding the region’s ecosystem is part of a multigenerational plan based on sustainability

in which they take care to manage the land and water that was already in pristine shape when they inherited it. To view the Rocking P Gazette, visit ucalgary.ca/rocking-p-gazette. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

EFFECTIVE CASTRATION

Skill, painkillers, vaccine all part of successful castration ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

e now have many tools at our disposal when it comes to castrating

calves. The skillful use of newer techniques and non-steroidal anti-

inflammatories (NSAID) address welfare issues. Much has changed in the feedlot industry. For starters, feedlots no longer dehorn cattle. A few may be tipped and the polled bulls look after the rest. As well, cattle are not branded unless finance companies, border crossings or community pastures insist. And finally, feedlots really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to castrate. Quite frankly, it is not the place to get that done. Most cattle entering the large feedlots are bigger. These bigger older bulls usually have bigger tes-

ticles, so right away we have compounding problems. The bigger the calf, the more stressful castration is for the animal. For the good of the cattle industry and the entire value chain, producers must get much better at castrating on the farm. The smaller and younger the calf, the better, especially when it is still nursing. Rings are the easiest to do, especially when the calf is a day old. They cause the least amount of stress and producers are often tagging and vaccinating the calves anyway, so it saves a procedure. Growth in an implanted calf will be about as good as in an intact bull, and producers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about castrating them when older. Too many â&#x20AC;&#x153;belly nutsâ&#x20AC;? are showing up in Canadian feedlots. We must examine how these misses happen and what can be done to prevent them. Many producers may not even realize they are shipping steer calves with a retained testicle. Reviewing our castration procedures may help us discover where the errors are happening. When using bands at birth, a calf should be left, marked and rechecked later if a testicle has not descended. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to recheck once the band is released to make sure both testicles are still contained in the scrotum. It is a good idea to ensure that the people handling the calves can do so without an over-aggressive mother cow in close proximity. We do more things now to newborns, including vaccinations, so we must take our time and do it right, including castration. Older calves can be castrated with a knife at a few months of age during the traditional â&#x20AC;&#x153;branding timeâ&#x20AC;? before turnout to pasture. Make sure that the most skilled individual is performing the castration because the quicker the procedure with a sharp scalpel or knife, the less the chance of infection, excessive bleeding and inflammation.

If using the rubber banding method of castration it is important to recheck the calf later to determine if a testicle has not descended. | FILE PHOTO

Giving an NSAID such as banamine is becoming common and is money well spent, considering the other stressors on the calf. The antiinflammatories have come down in price and provide up to two days benefit. As well, younger calves require less product because they still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t weigh as much. Implanting will also provide better growth and should definitely be considered. Callicrate has developed a bander for three- to five-month-old calves that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t castrated with a knife. The middle-sized band is put on the same way as bands at birth. The technique is easy to use but it is important that calves have a tetanus vaccine. Tetanus is found in some of the 8-way and 9-way clostridial (blackleg) vaccines. I am most familiar with covexin plus and Tasvax 8. The vaccines should say tetanus on the label. All of this is important to do on the farm because it is a problem for

feedlots to buy steers and then find out they are partially intact, usually with one testicle. They pose a significant risk to the feedlot because they are more difficult to cut and are big and staggy looking. Quite frankly, the feedlots really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them. I found out most recently that a large feedlot in the United States will turn back intact or partially intact bulls if they are discovered at processing. Producers must work with their veterinarian to find the most appropriate method of castration for their farm based on age of calf, time of year and resources at their disposal. We need to aim for as close to 100 percent success as possible and use painkillers when advised. This will save needless problems down the line.

Canada Beef Inc. is making some major administrative changes after four years of operation. The research, market development and promotion agency has decided it needs to streamline its operations. A new manager will be hired to administer the $1 national nonrefundable checkoff, and current president Rob Meijer will handle only marketing and promotion. The agency was the result of a merger of the national checkoff agency, the Canada Beef Export Federation and the Beef Information Centre. Consolidations take three to five

years, and changes are often needed along the way, Meijer told Canada Beefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting in Calgary Sept. 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voluntarily, I am stepping aside as president of the agency,â&#x20AC;? he said. He will head up the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing and promotion division and report to a marketing committee, while the new manager will report to the board of directors. That position will manage administration and be the staff contact with Farm Products Council of Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this will lead to a great outcome and I am all for it,â&#x20AC;? Meijer said. It is hoped the new manager can be in place by next year, said Linda

Allison of British Columbia. She is chair of the national checkoff committee, a newly established group that will work through some of the upcoming changes as part of the national beef strategy announced earlier this year. The provinces have agreed changes are needed, including a single person to approach with checkoff and money distribution questions. Meetings have already been held. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is going to be a work in progress, and we are going to work closer with the provinces to ensure we are meeting the needs that they have as far as getting feedback with what is happening with their dollar,â&#x20AC;? Allison said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

CANADA’S OUTDOOR FARM SHOW

Expansion on minds of young Ont. cattle producers Despite high prices, some producers are holding back heifers BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

WOODSTOCK , Ont. — After years of stagnation, Ontario’s cattle industry appears to be on the rebound. Dan Ferguson, manager of producer relations at Beef Farmers of Ontario, said there are now just 275,000 beef cows in the province, down from 400,000 immediately before BSE was discovered in Canada in 2003. Ferguson said his organization has been conducting workshops geared to younger producers, who are often accompanied by their more cynical fathers. Judging from the overall interest expressed at these meetings, cow numbers seem poised to increase, he said Sept. 16 at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock. “We asked the question, ‘who in the room would consider adding another 10 heifers to their herd,’ and about two-thirds of the guys put their hands up.… Five years ago they would have been looking at cash crops,” he said.

Doug Bidulock, sales representative for Hi-Hog, demonstrated cattle handling equipment during Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, Ont. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO “We could increase the cow herd by a 100,000 in a fairly short time.” Statistics Canada reports that cow numbers have decreased to 3 , 7 9 2 , 0 0 0 i n m i d -Ju l y f r o m 3,831,000 in January. Pierre Charlebois, who keeps 40 cows in eastern Ontario, said he’s been holding back five or six heifers for the past couple years and is

BEEF EXPORTS

Mexican company urges Canada to produce more beef BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

If Canadians produce more beef, Mexico will buy it. Mauricio Usabiago Diaz-Barriga, a partner in the family owned food distribution company Susazon in central Mexico, said Canada needs a strategy to expand it current cattle beef herd. The Canadian herd size, now at around 13 million head, has been declining for nearly a decade. “Canada has more potential to play a bigger role worldwide in the beef industry,” Diaz-Barriga told the Canada Beef Inc. forum in Calgary Sept. 17. “We have a lot of ideas as to how you can sell more product in Mexico, but we have to start thinking outside the box on this strategy.” Mexico is already a major customer of Canadian beef, but an expanded product line could open the door to Latin America and the Caribbean, where the food culture is similar, he said. Susazon offers 300 value added food items through a large distribution network and owns 21 retail outlets, said Ernesto Usabiago Diaz-Barriga. It handles produce, poultry, beef, pork, lamb and fish. The firm was started in 1992 by three brothers who were educated in Canada and the United States. The family farms in the state of Guanajuato. Mexicans eat two billion kilograms of beef a year.

The imported product comes from the United States and Canada. “All the beef that is consumed in Mexican restaurants comes from the States and Canada,” he said. His company imports most of its beef from Canada because they have confidence in the system with traceability, rules on humane handling and pure European breeds that produce more consistent product. “In Mexico, Canada is regarded as a trustworthy nation. It is our job to promote that,” he said. The company has also sent staff to the Canada Beef Centre of Excellence to develop recipes for cuts that would be enjoyed by Mexicans and tourists. Most recently, Susazon launched a certified Angus beef patty containing 100 percent Canadian beef. Mexico’s culinary influences come from Spain, France, Argentina, Brazil and Peru. A large tourist trade and improving domestic consumption has prompted Susazon to design its products to fit a wide array of tastes. “We are always looking for innovation and we are always looking to do a better job with whatever we can get our hands on,” he said. The company also exports products to the U.S. to serve 50 million Mexicans living in that country. “They are looking for certain products they can buy in the States that they used to buy in Mexico,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

motivated by more than just price. “Keeping cattle gives me piece of mind. When you’re in the field, no one’s bothering you.” Tim Prior, owner of Brussels AgriServices, also feels there’s an upswing of interest in Ontario’s cattle industry. “There’s a lot of talk about guys getting into it, more than for a long

time. The prices are nice.” Jason Williams, a Saskatchewan resident and sales representative for the Tru-Test line of weighing and electronic identification equipment, was also optimistic. “We have the highest prices ever,” said Williams, who rents pasture at his farm south of Saskatoon. “The problem with extreme high prices

is that producers tend to want to sell everything they have, but there are more people retaining heifers.” Another equipment dealer, who did not wish to be identified because of his Old Order Mennonite beliefs, said there was an opportunity to make money finishing cattle when prices first increased, but now margins are tight. It’s the cow-calf operators who have the greatest opportunity, he added. “Calves are too dear. We need more cow-calf operators,” he said. Then, upon further consideration: “They do need the prices they get now to make up for the last 10 years of working for nothing.” However, Joyce Feenstra, a director with the Veal Farmers of Ontario, said it’s tough times for Ontario’s veal producers. She said the high cost of bob calves bought at a few days of age is a challenge. Veal producers compete in the market with beef producers, who can raise their animals to 1,500 lb. Grain-fed veal calves are sent to slaughter at 650 to 700 lb. and milkfed at 550 lb. “We didn’t buy any bob calves when they were $800. Our limit is $450. Now they’re selling for $400 to $500,” Feenstra said. “If it wasn’t for the risk management program, I don’t know how we could keep going.”

Making sense of the numbers This series explores how farmers, ag consultants and service providers are professionalizing agriculture by integrating the many skills required by today’s complex and challenging industry. This is part 6.

WINNIPEG BUREAU

TUXFORD, Sask. — Bartt Chute hates looking at some of this year’s production and profitability numbers on his farm. It’s break-even at best for a lot of crops when he includes fixed costs. However, at least he knows where he’s standing. He think that’s not true for lots of farmers, who have become accustomed to years of high profits and not having to obsess about the basics. Now that profits are disappearing from western Canadian grain farming, Chute thinks a lot of farmers need to get serious about studying their farms to see what adds up and what doesn’t. “If you don’t have those numbers, you’re flying blind,” said Chute, who operates a grain farm near Tuxford with his wife, daughter and son-in-law. “You just don’t know.” Chute is one of the early Prairie adopters of sophisticated farm marketing.

He became serious about pricing and hedging when he realized how much money could be lost from haphazard pricing and sales decisions. He and a few other far mers invested in the Market Maximizer company when it formed two decades ago. Since then, he’s been actively involved in his farm’s marketing, seeking out farmers across the Prairies to compare and contrast not just sales strategies but also profitability issues. His son-in-law is a professional agronomist, so he also has expert on-farm agronomic advice that Chute combines with decades of his own farming and vocational agriculture training from the University of Saskatchewan. However, in Chute’s farm office on this grey, windy day in late September sits Kim Gerencser, a farm management adviser from Regina who Chute hired to provide an even better understanding of his profitability numbers. As well, he doesn’t trust himself.

TOP: Bartt Chute says producers who don’t know their production costs are “flying blind.” | ED WHITE PHOTOS ABOVE: Farm management adviser Kim Gerencser says it’s good to have outside eyes examine profitability numbers and offer advice. “It’s essential that you have another set of eyes look at what you’re doing, to take the emotion away from the decisions,” Chute said. “Every other business that operates in North America has some kind of an advisory board or a board of directors or something that gives them another set of eyes that looks at what they’re doing.” Gerencser also belongs to the don’t-trust-yourself school of thought, having his own advisermentor to take a look at what he is doing. “You cannot consult to yourself.” Farm financial management advice isn’t as common or as popular yet as agronomy or marketing advice, but Gerencser, a former banker, thinks it is the next wave of advice in the ongoing professionalization of farming. However, he said a lot of farmers start to lose interest when they hear about what he does and the kind of analysis he offers. “Their eyes glaze over,” he said.

“That baffles me when you think about the amount of risk they’re taking on.” That’s not true for Chute, who is a numbers guy and wants to make sure his farm is set up right. He doesn’t want to leave his family in the lurch unexpectedly through some flaw in planning. “I want to get a better handle on the profitability of the farm,” he said. “I think there is a certain segment of the farming population that has been taking advantage of the high prices to invest in land and equipment, and I think some of them are maybe extended farther than they should be.” ed.white@producer.com

INTERNATIONAL TAXATION

New rules, new tax pitfalls on selling grain in the U.S. MANAGING THE FARM

PAUL HAMMERTON & DAVID TURCHEN This is part one of a five-part series on avoiding unnecessary U.S. taxes.

he United States has become an attractive outlet for direct grain sales by many Canadian producers since the dissolution of the Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk trading monopoly. U.S.-based grain traders are soliciting new business in Canada, and some are also investing in infrastructure and offices. The trend is expected to continue as Canadian producers seek wider markets and more attractive prices for their grain. However, farmers must be cautious as they explore opportunities with U.S. buyers Grading standards Grading standards in the United States are perceived as being less onerous than those in Canada, but the penalties for not meeting them are usually much harsher. TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Monsanto plans big data business CHICAGO/KANSAS CITY (Reuters) — With its shares trading at three-year-lows since it abandoned a $46 billion bid to buy Syngenta in August, Monsanto plans to offer its shareholders a new corporate vision: a future in big data. Monsanto executives are seeking to reposition the company as a business built on data science and services, as well as its traditional chemicals, seeds and genetic traits operations, chief technology officer Robert Fraley said. “We transformed from industrial chemical company to a biotech company, then to a seeds company,” Fraley said. “Now, we’re transforming again.” Fraley and others have met with 200 technology start-ups in recent months and identified five as potential acquisition targets, pending Monsanto’s testing of products they make, company sources said. Monsanto is seeking to provide services, software and hardware tools that use data to help farmers boost their crop yields by understanding what is happening with their fields. This includes catching shifts in soil chemistry, being more precise with their seed choices and knowing how they should apply pesticides in various conditions. Monsanto’s initial moves into the sector have had spotty results.

Producers need to be as sure as possible of the grade of grain they have before exporting directly to the U.S. Caution should also be exercised if forward contracting ahead of harvest, when quality will still be an unknown factor. U.S. federal and state taxes Farmers selling into the U.S. run the risk of incurring liability for both federal and state taxes. The bigger concern is with federal taxation. The Internal Revenue Service’s rules are more grey than black and

white. The more you do to comply with requirements, the fewer chances of tripping into a tax hole. Canadian sellers will encounter a lot of paperwork that must be filed accurately and on time or face potentially harsh penalties. The recent changes in Canadian marketing practices have coincided with much more aggressive behaviour by and on behalf of the IRS in pursuit of taxes and penalties for non-compliance against foreign nationals, including Canadians. For example, you can face penalties of US$10,000 as a company and

$1,000 as an individual for not filing the required paperwork on a timely basis, even if no tax is due. These penalties can continue to be imposed and back dated on an annual basis until all filing requirements are met. There is a tax treaty between Canada and the United States to prevent double taxation, but tax treaty rights may be denied in cases where filing isn’t completed on time. This means tax could be levied on the gross value of any sale at up to 35 percent of the total (or 39.6 percent for a sole proprietor), with no provision for allowing any off-

setting expenses. The key words above are “may” and “can.” The IRS might nab you, or it might not, but completing all the appropriate forms and filing them on time will provide peace of mind and security against needless financial penalties. Part two of this series next week will discuss contracts and the intricacies of what constitutes a U.S.sourced sale. Hint: It’s pretty much whatever the IRS says it is. Paul Hammerton, BSc, CAFA and David Turchen, CPA, CA, CPA(USA) are with MNP. Contact www.mnp.ca for more information.
