Farmers generally pleased to have a piece of the pie in expanded market access BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

They might have been a bit grudging about it, but most Canadian dairy farmers breathed sighs of relief when the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal was announced. Rather than being scrapped or crippled as feared by many, the supply management system was only crimped.

And dairy farmer leaders said they now believe they can see a clear path into the future, even if the path leads through darker terrain than they are used to. “This thing has finally been settled and we know where we’re at,” said Manitoba Dairy Producers chair and Steinbach farmer David Wiens. “The worst thing is to be left in the dark.” Alberta Milk chair Tom Kootstra

felt similarly relieved, with supply management preserved within the deal and only a small share of Canadian dairy production given to foreign suppliers. “I am relieved that a TPP deal was reached,” he said.“There was a lot of uncertainty about the future.” The news of the deal reverberated across the agriculture industry this week, and sector by sector the reactions were mostly favourable.

The beef industry quickly pointed out that Canada now ships about $100 million worth of beef to Japan despite high tariffs and it expects the business to grow as tariffs come down. Pork sector officials expressed relief, saying the deal now ensures Canada will not be shut out of key markets. RESETTING TRADE TABLE, PAGE 4

Safety net changes provinces’ idea: Ritz BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz says provinces wanted the changes made to business risk management programs in Growing Forward 2, and Ottawa didn’t stand in their way. He said he hasn’t seen any downside to the changes that took effect in 2013, but farmers continue to complain that the payment trigger reduction from 85 percent of five-year reference margins to 70 percent have made AgriStability unusable. At the same time, government contributions to AgriInvest were lowered. During last week’s national agriculture debate, the participants were asked if their parties would commit to BRM improvements. Marcel Groleau of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture said AgriStability and AgriInvest are essential to managing risk and allowing producers to reinvest in their businesses. “With the cuts that have been made, we can hardly say the farm community has the confidence needed to support and maintain these investments,” said Groleau, who asked a question at the debate. However, Ritz said the federal government didn’t vote for the cuts. “The provinces and territories actually have a vote; we have a veto,” he said. He said Ottawa chose not to exercise its veto because “we could agree with keeping our finances and treasury boards happy.” He also said programs are under review as they hit the midway point of the five-year agreement. NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen said the programs used to be responsive, but now farmers tell him AgriStability is “useless.” “These programs need to be responsive to the needs of farmers,” he said during the debate. “It’s time to redo it and start again.” Green party candidate Andrew West raised eyebrows among the other debaters and in the crowd of about 140 people when he said farm support programs are a burden on taxpayers. “The Green party encourages farmers to subsidize their own farms by diversifying,” he said, as well as focusing on domestic sales. Mark Eyking, Liberal agriculture critic and Nova Scotia candidate, said West and his party are way off base. Other topics debated by the four men, as well as Bloc Quebecois candidate Yves Lessard, included public investment in research, agricultural labour needs, how to attract more Canadians to the sector, biodiversity and social licence. karen.briere@producer.com FOR MORE ELECTION COVERAGE, SEE PAGES 16, 17

RESEARCH

New canola promises breakthrough Innovation is expected to make crop more competitive with soybean meal in livestock sector BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

M I N N E A P O L I S, Mi n n . — A canola breeder has developed a new trait that makes canola meal far more competitive with soybean meal. Until now, canola meal has traded at a 35 percent discount to soybean meal in markets around the world because of its inferior protein levels. Dow AgroSciences has spent the last 15 years developing a trait through conventional breeding techniques that significantly boosts canola protein levels. “We think we can change the value from being (65) percent of soy up to the range of about 85 percent of soy,” said Dave Dzisiak, commercial leader, grains and oils, with Dow during the recent Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. “It really is a step change.” He estimates 90 percent of the canola meal produced by North American crushers is sold into the California dairy market. Dzisiak said the over-reliance on one market is unsustainable, given the Canola Council of Canada’s

target to produce 26 million tonnes of the crop by 2025, which is almost double this year’s estimated output. “This meal has to find new markets. It all can’t go to California into dairy cows. So this will open up new markets,” he said in an interview following his presentation. “This will help keep canola really marketable.” The market for vegetable protein continues to expand. A recent Rabobank report forecasts global demand for vegetable protein will be 37 percent higher in 2023 than it was in 2013. Dzisiak believes Dow’s new canola meal can go head-to-head with soybean meal in hog and poultry rations. “The feeding trials that have been done to date really demonstrate that,” he said. And it can do so at high inclusion rates. “Probably in swine, for sure, we can replace 100 percent of the soybean meal,” said Dzisiak. The new canola meal has higher protein and lower fibre levels than conventional canola meal, result-

ing in a feed ingredient that has more digestible protein and energy. Dzisiak was unwilling to divulge the exact new protein and fibre numbers. The breeding process was long, arduous and full of dead-ends. “It was not an easy process b e c au s e n o r ma l l y w h e n y o u improve protein you take away from oil, and you can’t have that,” he said. The trait w ill eventually be stacked with the high oleic trait in all of Dow’s Nexera varieties. Field trials have found no yield or oil content drag in the trait. “In the course of the next two years we’ll be able to begin to introduce this trait into the industry,” said Dzisiak. However, the company first intends to run customer trials with major livestock feed clients to ensure there is a market for the product. Dow has received all the regulatory approvals it needs for the new trait, and select growers have already been producing the crop. “We’re all good to go there,” he said.

In the meantime, soybean protein levels have been dropping because breeders have been almost solely focused on yield. Farmers are paid for bushels rather than protein. “We’re now in a situation where protein is low, and in some of the export markets it’s too low,” said John Schillenger, president of Schillenger Genetics Inc. His company has spent the last 16 years trying to figure out how to increase protein content without sacrificing yield. “In college classes, I was taught that in improving protein you have to accept the fact that soybean yields are going to be lower,” said Schillenger. “We’ve broken that theorem and now have some very high yielding soybeans that are competitive in the marketplace and yet have 10 to 20 percent more protein in them than the nor mal commodity beans.” sean.pratt@producer.com FOR MORE FROM THE GRAINS AND OILSEEDS SUMMIT, SEE OUR MARKETS SECTION, WHICH BEGINS ON PAGE 6.

RESETTING TRADE TABLE » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Grains and oilseeds farmers, processors and exporters expressed optimism that the deal could be worth more than $1 billion, but cautioned that the fruits of the deal may take several years. In the dairy sector, Dairy Farmers of Canada issued a supportive tweet soon after the deal was announced, which said, “no negative impact and supply management preserved for the next generation.” But some dairy farmers were less positive, tweeting back: “In dreamland if you believe 3.25 percent giveaway is ‘preservation.’ ” “3.25 percent market access. How is that not a negative impact?” “Please send me 3.25 percent of your revenue to me. There will be no negative impacts.” In the TPP deal, Canada agreed to allow 3.25 percent of foreign dairy product imports, 2.3 percent in eggs, 2.1 percent for chicken, two percent for turkey, and 1.5 percent for broiler hatching eggs. Koostra said it will be difficult to convince some dairy farmers that losing 3.25 percent of the market is a victory, but he hopes farmers understand compromise was inevitable considering the immense pressure the government was under from countries like the U.S. and New Zealand. He hopes farmers realize they should have a few years of peace in which to build their businesses. And he was happy to hear Canadian international trade minister Ed Fast speak strongly in favour of supply management at the TPP news conference, seeming to offer it ongoing political support. While the TPP deal seems to save supply management for now, agricultural policy and economics analyst Bertrand Montel doubts it changes the reality of the system, which is one of concentration, consolidation and decline. “For the next 10 years maybe we will keep supply management, but we do not address any of the internal tensions,” said Montel. “The two (compensation) programs will only increase or exacerbate those trends.” Those compensation programs include $2.4 billion income support for farmers affected by the TPP and the previous Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement with Europe, covering 100 percent of the costs for 10 years and a tapereddown level for the next five years. It also provides a $1.5 billion quota value protection plan, which will compensate farmers who see quota values damaged by the TPP deal. Wiens said he needs to see more details about how those programs will work before knowing if dairy farmers will be fully protected, but he said he is hopeful. “I think it will go a long way towards that. But it’s not permanent.” And one thing Wiens, Kootstra and Montel all agree upon is that having more foreign milk pour into Canada will put more pressure on Canada’s already stressed dairy sector. “We’re not exactly happy about more market access being given,” said Wiens. ed.white@producer.com

TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP

Grain, oilseed sectors cheer Canola industry says improved access to Japan will mean $780 million in increased exports BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers, processors and exporters in Canada’s grains and oilseeds sector could see huge financial benefits — potentially worth more than a billion dollars a year — from the implementation of Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, say TPP supporters. But implementation of the deal could take as long as two years and many of the trade benefits stemming from the deal may not be immediate and could take years to be fully realized. On Oct. 5, Canadian trade negotiators announced that a TPP deal had been reached after a week of negotiations in Atlanta, Georgia. Details of the deal are still being disseminated but stakeholders in Canada’s grain and oilseeds sector were quick to applaud the pact, which will remove tariffs and address non-tariff barriers on a variety of agricultural goods including canola, canola oil, canola meal, wheat, barley, pulses, fruits, wines and processed food products. In the grain and oilseeds sector, Canadian canola producers and processors stand to make considerable gains, particularly in Japan, Vietnam and Malaysia. Japanese tariffs of 13.2 yuan (C$2.72) per kilogram on imports of refined and crude canola oil from Canada will be eliminated within five years of implementation, as will Vietnamese tariffs of five percent on the specified canola products. “This is a great deal for the canola industry,” said Brian Innes, vice-

The tariff reduction highlights as outlined in the TPP: • Canola oil and meal tariffs will be eliminated in Japan and Vietnam over five years. Currently, Japan buys seed, but has a 15 percent tariff on canola oil, protecting its domestic crushing industry. • Feed wheat will become duty free in Japan. • Wheat for human consumption will see tariffs fall 45 percent over eight years. • Tariffs on Canadian beef entering Japan will drop to nine percent from 38.5 percent over 15 years. • Tariffs on Canadian pork entering Japan will be reduced or eliminated over 10 years.

president of government relations with the Canola Council of Canada. “Improved access to Japan alone will mean up to $780 million in increased exports or the canola industry. “For canola growers, this means more value comes to Canada and for canola processors, it means more opportunities to sell canola oil to Japan.” Innes said the removal of Asian tariffs on canola oil and canola meal will deliver significant benefits to the Canadian crushing industry as well as the 14 commu n i t i e s w h e re l a r g e s c a l e crushing facilities are located. The deal also includes commitments from some of Canada’s key Pacific Rim trade partners to

reduce non-tariff trade barriers related to sanitary and phytosanitary restrictions, as well as agricultural biotechnology, specifically the approval and trade of genetically modified crops and products containing GMOs. Benefits for the Canadian cereal grains sector, specifically the wheat and barley industries, were still being assessed a few hours after the deal was announced. Among other things, Japanese tariffs and import quotas that are currently applied to Canadian feed wheat and feed barley will be removed immediately upon implementation of the deal, which is expected sometime in 2017. In addition, Japanese price markups on Canadian food wheat, food wheat products and food barley will be reduced by 45 percent within eight years of implementation. A Canada-specific quota will be applied to Japanese imports of Canadian food wheat products but details of that quota were not specified. For the Canadian barley industry, the TPP deal has the potential to boost exports of barley and barley products by as much as 150,000 tonnes or $80 million a year, according to the Barley Council of Canada. Improved market access for Canadian beef and pork would a l s o s i g n i f i c a n t l y i n c re a s e domestic demand for feed barley, the organization added. “For the barley industry and our members, the TPP is a big deal, and one that we need, “ said the council’s executive director Phil de Kemp.

“Over 50 percent of our exports of barley and value added products currently are marketed into TPP countries, so any deal that does not include Canada will be devastating for our entire barley value chain.”

CAM DAHL CEREALS CANADA

Cam Dahl, president of Cereals Canada, said it is premature to estimate the total financial benefits that the deal could deliver to Canada’s cereal grains industry. Nonetheless, the deal is critically important to Canada, he said. “I think for agriculture in general, this is very, very good news,” Dahl said. “We’re an export dependent industry and to have this kind of an agreement with 40 percent of the world’s economy is absolutely critically important… “If we had been left out of this deal, we would have been ceding some of our best markets like Japan to our competitors in the United States and Australia and we would have been ceding the potential in some of those key Asian growth markets to our competitors. That wouldn’t have been acceptable.”

Beef, pork producers cheer outcome of TPP agreement Some people expressed worry that supply management would be a sticking point that would force Canada to withdraw from the negotiating table BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Doug Gillespie didn’t join millions of others in following the live public announcement that Canada and 11 other nations had successfully completed the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. “I was out riding,” the cattle producer from Neville, Sask., said a few hours after the announcement. He had been busy, sitting on the back of his horse Sprocket, down in the bottom of a valley, with no wireless service, checking on his beef cattle. However, he was delighted when he returned to his house and discovered the deal was done. “It opens up markets and gives us sales for our product, so that should be very good for beef producers,” said Gillespie, who is president of the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association. The implications of the trade deal, which affects many nations on the Pacific Rim, were immediately clear to Gillespie: continued access to Japan, better access to other countries, the chance to build new markets and reduced reliance on the U.S. market. That view was shared by other cattle and hog farmers, who rely on export markets. Future markets seem a surer bet now that Canada has signed the TPP deal. “It’s very good news for the cattle industry in Canada,” said Larry Schweitzer, chair of the National Cattle Feeders Association. “We need to be in the fold with everybody else.” Livestock producers sounded

happy about their future export prospects, but the strongest feeling was that of relief. Many had worried Canada’s defence of supply management would get the country kicked out of the TPP talks or make the talks fail. If that happened, Canada might lose some or much of its access to the high-paying Japanese market, which buys $1 billion worth of Canadian pork and $100 million worth of Canadian beef a year. Australia has signed a free trade deal with Japan and is already able to sell beef there with lower tariffs. Canada also lost much of the South Korean pork market after other countries signed trade deals that lowered tariffs. It’s why Canadian Pork Council chair Rick Bergmann cheered the successful conclusion of the deal. “Based on what was announced today, the CPC strongly supports Canada participating in the TransPacific Partnership,” Bergmann said in a news release. He said Canada’s pork exports to South Korea fell by 75 percent after the United States signed a trade deal with it before Canada’s was concluded. John Masswohl, Canadian Cattlemen’s Association director of government and international relations, said avoiding a South Korealike situation was the cattle industry’s biggest hope for TPP, and it appears to have been achieved. “We’re all going to be on the same playing field,” said Masswohl. Canada presently pays a 38.5 percent tariff on beef sales to Japan. Australia, because of its recent trade deal, pays only 31.5 percent

on fresh beef and 29.5 percent on frozen. As well, the Australian tariff will continue to drop annually. “That disadvantage (for Canada) will get worse and worse and worse.”

JOHN MASSWOHL CANADIAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

However, the TPP deal will immediately reduce all signatories’ tariffs to 27.5 percent, which will drop to nine percent over 15 years. That leveling of tariffs is a big relief for the Canadian beef industry, Masswohl said. The industry is also happy to now have a hammer to hold over the head of South Korea, which isn’t part of TPP but may ask to join. “They’ll have to come to Canada,” said Masswohl. “When Korea comes to Canada … they have to offer an acceleration to match the U.S.” Tom Teichroeb, a director of the Manitoba Beef Producers, said he’s relieved he’ll be able to raise cattle with a few less anxieties if TPP is approved. Canadian producers need access to more markets instead of being pushed out of ones they already have. “It was so crucial for us to not miss this opportunity,” said Teichroeb. ed.white@producer.com

TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP

Opposition uses TPP deal as political fodder BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

When the 12 country TransPacific Partnership trade agreement was announced, it instantly became the dominant talking point on the federal election campaign trail. The NDP has already said it might tear up the deal, while the Liberals are waiting for more details. The deal was announced with just 14 days to go in the federal election campaign. It was foll ow e d i m m e d i at e l y by t h e announcement of a $4.3 billion package designed to mitigate the effects of both the TPP and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with Europe on the supply-managed sectors of dairy and poultry. Conservative leader Stephen Harper said Canada achieved virtually all of its objectives during the negotiations while giving up modest market access to supply managed products. “ The cabinet has already approved substantial assistance, some $4.3 billion over 15 years, to make sure that we protect our farmers against any revenue loss or quota loss and that is a critical guarantee,” Harper said. “There will be no losses in that sector.” Trade minister Ed Fast, speaking at an Atlanta news conference, said negotiators successfully protected the three key pillars of supply management although some thought that would be impossible. Opponents had criticized the Conservatives for negotiating during an election campaign. “It would be the height of irresponsibility for a Canadian government to abandon a negotiation like this and not defend the interest of Canadians, which is why Canada stayed at the negotiating table,” Fast said. After the Oct. 19 election, the new Parliament will debate the deal fully and then vote on it, Fast said. But NDP leader Thomas Mulcair vowed even before the deal was concluded that an NDP government would not be bound by the terms of a deal negotiated in secret. He said he would rip up

any deal that put family farmers at risk. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau issued a statement noting his party strongly supports free trade but the Conservatives had failed to be transparent about the negotiations. He said a Liberal government would hold a “full and open public debate in Parliament to ensure Canadians are consulted on this historic trade agreement.” The TPP was making headlines when the campaign began in early August but then faded behind other issues. It’s likely to be back on the front burner as the campaign winds down. At the national agriculture debate in Ottawa last week, during which dairy farmers protested the negotiations, the TPP discussion drew the most attention. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the government always said it would protect supply management and negotiators would never put it on the table to the point where the three pillars would be in danger. He said there is opportunity for supply managed sectors to benefit from trade deals. For example, under CETA Canadian cheese has unlimited access to the European market and the dairy sector could benefit from slaughter dairy cows and veal going oversees. But NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen said supply management should be retained whole. He said the government should never have put it on the table in the first place if it wasn’t up for negotiation. Allen said the NDP would also need to see details before it could decide if the deal is good for Canadians or not. “We won’t be trapped into saying yes (or) no based on what are they saying or not saying,” he said. “They need to actually give us some information to work with.” Text of the agreement won’t be available until it has undergone a full legal review. It’s not yet known if the details will be available before voters go to the polls. karen.briere@producer.com

Could El Nino spark Russian drought? Researcher speculates La Nina could follow El Nino, hurting crops in Russia and the United States BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MINNE APOLIS, Minn. — Weather history suggests next year could turn into a bull market for grains and oilseeds, says a meteorologist. “Some of the things happening now are kind of eerily similar to what we saw happening about six years ago,” said Corey Cherr, head of agriculture and weather research and forecasts with Lanworth, Thomson Reuters. In 2009-10, the world was at the tail end of an El Nino, which had resulted in three consecutive years of good crops in which supply exceeded consumption. “Then bang, things started to change,” he told delegates attending the recent Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. “We got what we sometimes do get on the back of an El Nino, which was a really severe, rip-roaring drought across the former Soviet states that knocked out a lot of the

wheat production and really surprised the market.” That was followed by two successive La Ninas, which brought a lot of heat to the Western Hemisphere. In 2012, it switched to what Cherr refers to as a La Nada, or neutral phase of the Southern Oscillation, which exacerbated the hot and dry conditions and caused mayhem with crops around the world. “We’re probably all still perspiring from that one,” he said. That series of events led to a bull market, which pushed corn prices as high as $8 per bushel in 2013. He believes there is a decent probability that the world may be heading down the same path, starting in 2016. It is already dry in Russia. Soil moisture conditions in the former Soviet Union are similar to what they were in 2009. Cherr said Russia managed to dodge the bullet the last couple of years when El Nino was struggling to develop. It started out dry both

years, but farmers eventually received the moisture they needed to grow a good crop. However, an undeniably strong El Nino is in place in 2015-16, which could lead to parched fields across the former Soviet Union. “Sometimes in these El Nino seasons, you see really severe drought set up across Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan and wipe out a lot of the wheat,” he said. There is also compelling evidence to suggest that the Southern Oscillation could shift almost

instantaneously from El Nino to La Nina midway through 2016. That has happened in five of the last 11 years following a strong El Nino. A La Nina could hurt U.S. corn and soybean production because temperatures tend to be warmer than usual. There is a strong tendency for corn yields to fall below trend line when nighttime temperatures are higher than 17 C in July and August. A below average Black Sea wheat crop followed by poor U.S. corn and soybean crops would be enough to ignite a bull run on grain and oilseed prices. Cherr said the yield-boosting impact of the El Nino that he believes developed in 2014-15 and strengthened in 2015-16 is almost done. It will still likely increase production of the soybean and corn crops being planted in southern Brazil and Argentina, but then its influence will be over. Grain markets will want to turn their attention to what follows.

CORN YIELDS WILL FALL IF JULY AND AUGUST NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES ARE HIGHER THAN

10C If the world does transition to a La Nina by mid-2016, there is a good chance it will be a strong event because of another weather phenomena: steadily increasing ocean temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere since about 1980. “All the water is really, really warm,” he said.

OILSEED PRICES

Canola growers welcome forecast for oilseeds Low oil content in this year’s crops and changes in the U.S. biofuel mandate could cause soybean oil demand to surge BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — A leading oilseed analyst is bearish about soybean prices but bullish about soybean oil prices, which is good news for canola growers. “If soy oil’s (price) goes up, that’s a huge boon for any oilseed that has higher oil content,” said Bill Lapp, president of Advanced Economic Solutions. He is forecasting a substantial increase in U.S. soybean oil prices from today’s levels of 26 to 27 cents per pound. “A 10 percent increase is possible, and I think there’s risk of an even bigger increase, maybe into the lower $0.30s, maybe $0.35 at some point during the 2015-16 crop year,” said Lapp. U.S. soy oil stocks are forecast to remain at historically low levels. The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts 1.78 billion pounds at the end of 2015-16 and Lapp thinks it will be even less. However, stocks have been a poor predictor of prices. In early 2007,

the United States had more than three billion lb. of inventory and the price was about 70 cents per pound. Today stocks are about half that and the price is less than 30 cents. That’s because soy oil prices are heavily influenced by crude oil prices, which have plummeted to about $45 per barrel from more than $100 per barrel a year ago. A crude oil recovery to $50 to $60 would have a big impact on soy oil prices. Lapp expects soy oil supplies to dwindle even more in 2015-16 because of low oil content in this year’s soybean crop and likely changes in U.S. biodiesel policies. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed changes to the advanced biofuel mandate, which by-and-large will be met by biodiesel production. An EPA decision to stick with its 3.4 billion gallon mandate for next year would substantially increase biodiesel demand and cause soybean oil use to surge because it is the feedstock of choice for most U.S. biodiesel plants. “That could force an increase of

more than 10 percent in the amount of biodiesel we need in the coming year and absorb a significant quantity of the (soybean oil) inventory we have,” Lapp told the recent Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. The U.S. Senate’s finance committee has also proposed switching the $1 per gallon biodiesel tax credit next year to a producer’s credit rather than a blender’s credit.

10% MORE BIODIESEL WOULD BE NEEDED IF THE EPA CONTINUES ITS 3.4 BILLION GALLON MANDATE NEXT YEAR It means biodiesel plants would be able to afford to pay more for the soybean oil they buy. As well, the credit would be available only to U.S. plants, which would stem the tide of imported biodiesel from Argentina. Again, that would be

positive for U.S. soy oil prices. Lapp was also bearish about soybean seed prices, largely because of the large South American and U.S. crops that will rival what was harvested in 2014-15. New crop U.S export sales are off to their slowest start in seven years with sales commitments for 32 percent of the crop as of Sept. 3, compared to the previous five-year average of 50 percent. “We do about 80 percent of our soybean exports in the first six months of the marketing year, so if we don’t catch up we could have a significant decline from a year ago.” The problem is the strong U.S. dollar, which is making U.S. exports uncompetitive in overseas markets. Lapp said the U.S. export program will be 100 to 200 million bu. less than the previous year if the situation does not turn around in a hurry. Record high global soybean stocks are another bearish factor. Argentina’s farmers hold 39 percent of world stocks, hoarding their crops in response to the government’s punitive export taxes.

Argentina’s general election will be held this month, which could result in new export policies. “You could see some dynamics there where Argentina suddenly unloads some of those soybeans,” said Lapp. Some analysts are predicting slumping Chinese demand because of the country’s faltering economy, but Lapp doesn’t believe that will be the case. He is forecasting 79 million tonnes of Chinese imports in 2015-16, up from 77 million tonnes last year. He is forecasting soybean futures prices of $8.35 to $9.10 per bu. for October-December delivery and in $8.75 to $9.50 for January-March. The good news is Lapp is longterm bullish on soybean prices because global protein meal demand has grown by 3.6 percent per year over the last 10 years while soybean and other oilseed yields have increased by 1.5 percent per year over the same period. “ We’ re g o i n g t o n e e d m o re oilseeds in the future,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

CATTLE PRICE OUTLOOK

Record heavy carcasses jolt cattle prices from record highs MARKET WATCH

FEEDER PRICES STILL STRONG Prices for 600-700 feeders are down $43 per hundredweight, or 14 percent from their record peak of almost $312 set five weeks ago, but prices are still near historic highs.

D’ARCE McMILLAN

n an historical context, prices for fed and feeder cattle are still excellent. Still, you couldn’t help but wince last week as the Chicago live cattle nearby contract fell US10.625 cents per pound, or almost eight percent. Prices fell about $13 over the last two weeks of September. The Canfax Canadian cash steer weighted average fell almost C$9 last week to $160.73 per hundredweight from the previous week. Alberta fed cattle prices are now below year ago levels for the first time since the spring of 2013. Feedlots can’t afford the high prices for calves and yearlings as the fed price falls, so feeder prices are also dropping. The Canfax feeder steer average fell $12.59 per cwt. last week, and the heifer average fell $12.33. As a result, some of the shine has come off this golden market, as it inevitably must, but there is not too much to worry about. One reason for the dropping fed cattle price is that feedlots in the United States and Canada are behind in their marketing, and carcass weights are getting to record high levels. It was more economical for feed-

lots to feed existing cattle to heavier weights than to bring in expensive replacements. Ron Plain of the University of Missouri said the average U.S. steer dressed weight for the week ending Sept. 19 was 923 pounds, a record high that was up four lb. from the previous week and up 36 lb. from the same week last year. The steer carcass weight in Canada was 921 pounds, up 44 lb. from the same time last year. Beef prices fell as more beef per carcass became available during a seasonally weak time for beef demand, and that dragged down cash cattle. The price fall of recent weeks is greater than what many expected, but a decline is not unusual in early autumn as market-ready cattle numbers rise and beef demand drops off from the summer. Traditionally, prices rise again in November as market-ready supply

producers. Fed prices in Canada are down about 10 percent in the past month, while U.S. prices are down 15 percent. Canfax believes a seasonal rally in Canada going into November is possible. The Chicago market is strongly technically oversold, so there is hope for recovery there. Analyst Kevin Grier of the Canadian Cattle Buyer said placements into feedlots during the spring and summer were below year ago numbers, so the marketings in coming months should also be below a year ago, reinforcing the idea of a rebound by the end of the year. However, the strength of the rebound will be weakened if packers are buying during this dip to fill up the supply they’ll need at the end of the year. The strength of the loonie will also be a factor, as will the pace of beef exports. U.S. beef exports in the last four weeks were 23 percent behind the pace in the same period last year, reflecting the high price of beef and the strong American dollar. Looking ahead to next year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture sees U.S. beef production rising 5.9 percent to 24.93 billion lb. It expects the annual average price for steers to be $147 to $159, which is a broader range from the current year projection of $152 to $155. darce.mcmillan@producer.com

INFRASTRUCTURE

Brazil’s new ports solving country’s export problems The country’s soybean and corn exports have increased since infrastructure was improved BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Brazil’s investments in grain transportation infrastructure are beginning to pay off. The country has long had the ability to produce huge corn and soybean crops, but it struggled to get those crops to overseas markets in a timely manner. Poor road and rail infrastructure and over-crowded ports slowed the pace of it exports. But that is changing, said Marcos Rubin, head of grains with Agroconsult, a Brazilian agribusiness consultancy. Traditional ports in southern Brazil exported 42.4 million tonnes of soybeans and corn from January to August, up from 25 million

tonnes in the earlier part of the decade. However, the real transformation has been in the north, where growers have shipped 12.3 million tonnes of crops from January to August, up from 8.6 million tonnes for the same period last year. That is due to three new projects in northern Brazil: • A river port opened last year in Miritituba in the state of Para. • Barges from that port transport corn and soybeans from Mato Grosso and other states to the new Panamax port of Vila do Conde, also in Para. • A little further south is the port of Itaqui, which recently doubled its capacity. The new investment in inland and coastal ports means Brazil is expected to ship a record 78.3 mil-

The country has made major improvements to its transportation infrastructure. | REUTERS/PAULO WHITAKER PHOTO lion tonnes of corn and soybeans this year, shattering the previous record of 69.4 million in 2013. It is also making it cheaper for farmers to get their crops to market. Soybeans from central Mato Grasso can break even at a $7 per bushel price in China using the new routes. Brazil is now the lowest cost shipper of soybeans, largely because of the country’s faltering currency, which has depreciated 87 percent against the U.S. dollar since July 2014. The landed cost for Iowa soybeans in China is $8 per bushel. A r g e nt i na’s i s $ 8 . 7 0 , l a r g e l y because of the government’s puni-

tive 35 percent export tax. “We used to be the highest breakeven in the market. We’re not anymore. Not with this exchange rate,” said Rubin. Brazil’s landed cost using the new routes is $8.40 per bu. when land rent is included in the calculation, compared to $13.50 for the United States and $11.30 for Argentina. It is why Rubin believes the first reductions in soybean acres because of low prices will be made in the U.S. rather than South America. “You’re going to be smaller in the market. The United States is going to lose share,” Rubin told the recent Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit.

It is the same scenario for corn, where the break-even for a farmer in Mato Grosso is $3.05 per bu. compared to $4.23 for an Iowa corn farmer. It is even less for a grower in southern Brazil, who has a breakeven price of $1.78. Rubin said the completed port projects in northern Brazil are just the tip of the iceberg. He knows of projects on the books that will double the capacity of the country’s northern ports. There will also be continued improvements and investment in the country’s southern ports. sean.pratt@producer.com

Currency devaluation helps Brazilian farmers

info@fmc-gac.com

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Brazilian soybean farmers are making money hand over fist. Growers are expected to average $117 of profit per acre in 2015-16. The profit is the margin over costs, but land rent costs were not included in the calculation. “We expect to have the largest profit on record, and that’s because of currency devaluation,” said Marcos Rubin, head of grains with Agroconsult, a Brazilian agribusiness consultancy. The Brazilian real has depreciated 87 percent against the U.S. dollar since July 2014, which has shielded Brazilian farmers against the decline in global soybean prices. In domestic currency, soybean prices are down 10 percent in the U.S. since September 2014 and down 22 percent in Argentina. However, they are up 24 percent in Brazil. “It has been two years that the North American farmer has price decreases and the Brazilian soybean farmer has price increases,” Rubin told the recent Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. Brazil’s soybean farmers have been making huge profits since 2010-11, which has allowed them to pay down debt. However, 40 percent of their crop inputs are paid for in U.S. dollars, which means the expense side of

the ledger has been also increasing. Rubin said the country’s growers will pay an estimated $36 billion to seed this year’s soybean, corn, cotton and wheat crops, up from $28 billion last year. “They make more money but at the same time they need more money now to keep the farm running. They need cash flow to plant,” he said. The problem is Brazil is in the midst of a financial crisis, and credit availability is restricted. Farmers are reinvesting their profits and taking out government loans, but they can’t get any more money from financial institutions. There would be a huge surge in Brazilian soybean acres if it weren’t for the credit issue. Instead, Agroconsult is forecasting a modest 2.5 million acre increase. Yields are expected to be good because of a strong El Nino weather event, which should provide plentiful rain for drought-prone states in southern Brazil. Agroconsult sees a record 100 million tonnes of Brazilian soybean production, up slightly from last year. Rubin said it is a conservative estimate that could easily rise by as much as four million tonnes. Farmers in neighbouring Argentina are expected to plant 52 million acres of soybeans, up three percent from last year. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

MARKETS WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS STRONGER Strong demand heading into U.S. National Pork Month in October helped lift cash hog prices in the United States. Consumer demand for low cost pork is solid in the face of what were sky high beef prices through the summer and early fall, although beef is falling now. There was some concern that heavy rain on the southern U.S. East Coast might disrupt heavy population centres and reduce meat demand. The excess rain did not shut down hog plants. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$53-54 per hundredweight Oct. 2, up from $52.5053 Sept. 25. U.S. hogs averaged $70.45 on a carcass basis Oct. 2, up from $68.44 Sept. 25.

SHEEP LOWER Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported that 1,158 sheep and 125 goats sold Sept. 28. Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $226-$275 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $230-$249, 70-85 lb. were $212-$237, 86-105 lb. were $194$219 and 106 lb. and heavier were $178-$203. Wool rams were $74-$151 per cwt. Cull ewes were $70-$118. Hair lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $205-$218 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $204-$238, 70-85 lb. were $200$234, 86-105 lb. were $184-$212 and 106 lb. and heavier were $177-$186. Hair rams were $77-$95 per cwt. Cull ewes were $70-$120. Feeder kids lighter than 60 lb. were $200-$235. Good kid goats lighter than 70 lb. were $230-$265. Those heavier than 70 lb. were $230-$275 per cwt. Nannies were $70-$135 per cwt. Billies were $130-$170. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 1,205 sheep and lambs and 104 goats traded Sept. 28. All lambs sold lower to last week’s holiday prices. Sheep sold actively at barely steady prices. Goats sold barely steady on a poorer quality offering.

FED CATTLE SHARPLY LOWER

COWS DOWN

The Canfax weighted average steer price was $160.73 per hundredweight, down $8.94 and the lowest price since August 2014. Heifers were $131.42, down $7.19. It was the first time since March 2013 that fed prices were below year ago levels. Dressed sales were down $10-$20 per cwt. from the previous week. Both Alberta plants were scheduling cattle for delivery for the first half of November. Slaughter has been less than the same week last year in four of the past five weeks. Weak consumer demand and heavy carcass weights, which are being heavily penalized with discounts, are weighing on fed prices on both sides of the border. In most years the basis relative to American cash and futures prices weakens in October. October will likely see continued weak prices, but the annual low is being set. Market-ready numbers should tighten into November, and consumer demand usually picks up later in the year, which supports prices. However, some worry that it might take longer than expected to clear the backlog.

Slaughter cow prices eased $1.50$2.50 per cwt. D1, D2 cows ranged $122-$138 to average $130, and D3 cows were $109-$125 to average $116. Rail grade prices were also down at $246 to $251. The slaughter bull average was sharply lower at $158.57 per cwt. We e k l y w e s t e r n C a n a d i a n slaughter to Sept. 26 fell four percent to 4,583 head. Weekly exports to Sept 19 edged up to 6,933 head to offset reduced slaughter. Rail bids on cows could fall $10 as harvest winds down, calves are weaned and auction volume increases.

FEEDERS FALL Alberta feeder prices fell sharply, down $12.50 per cwt. from the previous week. Harvest may have distracted some buyers from the market, but projected negative feeding margins were the major reason feeder prices have tumbled. Projected fed market losses for placing middle weight calves could be more than $300 per head. Calves 300-500 pounds fell $16-$19,

and 500-700 lb. were $13-$17 lower. Feeders heavier than 800 lb. were $4-$7.50 lower. Still, light calves were a little higher than last year at the same time, and feeder heifer than 500 lb. were $15-$21 higher. However, feeder and stocker prices could soon fall to below year ago levels, considering the weak futures market. Weekly auction volume fell 30 percent to 24,715 head. Weekly feeder exports to Sept. 19 fell 35 percent to 3,660.

BEEF WEAKER The Choice cutout fell to US$207.55 last week, down $7.30, and Select was $203.21, down $8.41. Weekly Canadian boxed beef prices to Sept. 25 fell for the fourth straight week. AAA was C$283.35, down $8.78, and AA was $272.58, down $12.75. This cattle market information is selected from the weekly report from Canfax, a division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

Yields in Argentina tend to be historically high during El Nino years. Agroconsult is forecasting 59.2 million tonnes of production, down slightly from last year. “I think we’re (also) being conservative on that number,” he said. Corn crop Brazilian farmers are expected to plant 14 million acres of first crop corn, which would be 7.8 percent smaller than last year and continue a trend toward smaller first crop corn plantings. Many analysts believe the much larger safrinha, or second crop of corn, will experience the same three percent expansion as the

country’s soybean crop. Rubin isn’t in that camp. “It will grow more. It will grow much more than the soybean market,” he said. Agroconsult sees 27 million acres of second crop corn, up more than 13 percent from year. That is expected to result in 85 million tonnes of total Brazilian corn production, which is much higher than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 79 million tonne estimate. Rubin believes corn exports could be as high as 35 million tonnes compared to the USDA’s 24 million tonne estimate. He did not provide corn production or export numbers for Argentina. sean.pratt@producer.com

CRAIG’S VIEW

CONSUMER SKEPTICISM

Being misunderstood ideal time for farmers speak up

here is a chasm in Canada between many farmers and consumers. The farmers don’t understand why so many consumers are wary or even contemptuous of the chemicals and genetically modified seeds that are considered valuable, even necessary, tools on so many farms. More consumers are taking an interest in how their food is produced, but they are often fed a diet of inaccuracies, misconceptions and propaganda as they delve into the subject through the internet, food media, chefs and celebrity selfhelp opinions. This irritates many farmers because they know the consumer is king and can dominate the discussion, even when misinformed. However, Mike von Massow, an associate professor in the University of Guelph’s College of Business and Economics, recently presented an alternative view at a Canadian farm writers conference. Von Massow recognized the frustrations in dealing with ill informed consumers, but he said consumers’ growing interest in food presents opportunities for producers to tell their story, forge relationships and have their efforts valued. He believes it is a preferred alternative to being taken for granted and ignored. Food has become abundant, safe and cheap in the decades since the Second World War, particularly in North America. Receding memories of food rationing and growing confidence in food security meant people did not need to think about farmers or where their food came from. As surely as flipping a switch would produce light and turning a tap would produce clean water, the public could go

to the grocery store and get whatever food they needed or desired. And that eroded the value of food production. Food became an undifferentiated commodity, and farmers, at the bottom of the chain, saw their incomes erode. To survive, they had to cut costs and get bigger to become the cheapest producers. Their political influence declined, further separating them from the wider public. However, as consumers rediscover an interest in food production, farmers can perhaps profit from the trend. The most obvious examples come from direct-to-consumer operations such as farmers markets, on-farm stores and identity preserved production. Direct relationships with the buyers create an opportunity to break away from the ups and downs of the commodity business and establish a more stable pricing process. Most grain, oilseed and livestock are produced for the export market but it is still important to engage Canadian consumer because their attitudes can dictate production procedures on all farms, regardless of whether they are domestic or export oriented. Consumers seek compelling stories in which they can believe. Farmers are believable and compelling when they tell their own story. They need to step forward at every opportunity to tell their story. Consumers are interested, they want information and if farmers don’t provide it, someone else will.

TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP

Opposition on attack as Liberals capitalize on trade agreement CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

he Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal has been finalized in Atlanta after years of negotiations, delays and an all night bartering session. Details were still emerging about the proposed trade at the time of writing. A final draft of the test is still in the works and has not been released. At first glance, Canada appears to have protected its supply management sectors, offering slight access to its dairy (3.25 percent), eggs (2.3 percent), chicken (2.1 percent), turkey (two percent) and hatching egg (1.5 percent) markets over five years.

Agriculture Canada said $4.3 billion will be made available to supply managed producers over 15 years for income and quota value support. An investment of $450,000 will also be made in processors. Dairy Farmers of Canada appeared relieved. “No negative impact and supply management will be preserved for the next generation,” it said in a tweet. DFC president Wally Smith said in a news release that dairy producers obviously would have preferred that no additional market access be conceded. “However, we recognize that our government fought hard against other countries’ demands and have lessened the burden by announcing mitigation measures and what seems to be a fair compensation package to minimize the impact on Canadian dairy farmers and make up for cutting growth in the domestic market,” Smith said. Meanwhile, new market access

and tariff reductions, notably on beef, pork, canola, wheat, barley and wine, were triggering high praise from agricultural exporters, who were worried Canada, and 90 percent of its farmers, could be left behind. Still, ratification of the deal is far from assured. With his party lagging in the polls, NDP leader Tom Muclair moved over the weekend to make the TPP a wedge issue on the campaign trail. The posturing continued Oct. 5 at a campaign stop in Sarnia, Ont. “If Mr. (prime minister Stephen) Harper’s secret deal does not protect supply management in its entirety, if it does not protect our manufacturing sector, if it does not protect your ability to buy your pharmaceuticals and your prescription drugs at a decent price, the NDP will not feel bound by Mr. Harper’s secret deal,” Mulcair told supporters. He said Harper must release the complete text of the deal before

Oct. 19. For his part, a visibly elated Harper said Oct. 5 that the finalized TPP agreement was a “tremendous deal.” “This deal is, without any doubt whatsoever, in the best interests of the Canadian economy,” Harper told a news conference. Ten years from now, if Canada is not part of the TPP, those looking back will consider that omission a “terrible error,” he predicted. He said the news out of Atlanta was the new “gold standard for global trade agreements.” Meanwhile, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, who over the weekend promised to take a long, hard look at the proposed TPP deal, said the Liberals would not ratify the TPP without proper parliamentary debate and consultation with Canadians. “We know that trade is important for jobs, good-paying jobs, and for economic growth,” Trudeau said during a stop in Waterloo, Ont. He said the deal must be seriously

considered, given several of Canada’s largest trading partners are involved in the TPP. With two weeks to go on the federal election campaign, which continues to be a tight race despite NDP support tapering, the TPP deal is likely to remain an election issue. Unifor, the union that represents most of Canada’s auto workers, has pledged to give the Conservative leader a rough ride over the TPP, arguing the deal will cost the sector 20,000 jobs in Canada, mainly in the vote rich region of southern Ontario. And, despite the sigh of relief from Dairy Farmers of Canada, it remains to be seen whether the reduced access and proposed compensation will be enough to subdue the concerns of Canadian dairy, poultry and egg farmers, who just days ago were protesting on Parliament Hill.

MOST SECTORS SATISFIED

Labour shortage should be addressed

Sky not falling with TPP deal

BY DAN MAZIER

hich candidates are talking about the labour dilemma in agriculture? The answer is no one, despite the fact that a recent change to the federal Temporary Foreign Worker Program has turned an existing labour shortage in the agriculture industry into a near-crisis that is not only affecting producers but also value-added industries. The TFWP allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers to fill jobs that are not being filled by Canadians. Many farmers rely on the TFWP, through its special agriculture stream component, because there is a small or nonexistent pool of local workers in rural areas. As any producer can attest, the farther away from a major centre, the harder it is to find workers. It’s also hard to find local employees because many would-be local workers do not like the seasonal nature of working in agriculture. The detrimental revision to the TFWP came into effect April 1. It stipulates that foreign workers, including those in the agriculture stream, must return home after working in Canada for a total of four years and must remain there for four years before returning. This is referred to as the four-in/ four-out rule, which has resulted in a drastic loss of foreign workers. A beekeeper I know was without three out of four foreign workers at the beginning of the season, which forced him to work extra long hours at a frenzied pace, something that

I stress that the four-in/four-out regulatory change does not take into consideration the unique challenges of employing people on farms. There is often a prolonged training period that can last multiple years, which means that just as some workers reach full productivity, they will be required to return home. This, no doubt, will result in huge costs for producers. In addition, a huge skills gap is being created as these highly trained workers leave. There is significant risk that the skills of these

specialized workers, which Canadian farmers have invested in, will be used by Canada’s trade competitors. As well, according to research by the Canadian Agricultural Human Resources Council, it costs $12,000 to bring one foreign worker into the country, and now this cost must be borne more frequently as new workers come in to replace those who can no longer stay here. Compounding the loss of workers and the expense is a change to the Labour Market Impact Assessment, a process that requires an employer to prove, before hiring a foreign worker, that a Canadian

worker cannot be found for the job. Producers are willing to do this, but the process is time-consuming and the change now requires them to go through the process every year instead of every two years, which is extremely frustrating. The meat packing industry is short 1,000 workers, and the four-in/fourout rule is made worse by a cap on the number of temporary foreign workers that can be employed. This year the cap is 20 percent and next year it’s 10 percent, which means plants with employee shortages are forced to reduce production, cutting back on the number of cattle and hogs they buy from farmers. Theoretically, temporary foreign workers can apply for citizenship under individual provinces’ nominee programs, but the federal and provincial governments only consider high-skilled workers for immigration, which excludes general farm workers, who are classified as low-skilled. Never mind that it takes considerable skill to run a half-million-dollar combine or supervise a 4,000hive beekeeping operation. Political parties and candidates need to take a long, hard look at these issues. Allowing temporary foreign workers to become citizens, and live and work in rural Canada may not only be the answer to the agricultural labour shortage, but also part of the solution to rural depopulation.

WINNERS AND LOSERS

Trans-Pacific Partnership deal could tip election HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ather than being an Achilles heel for the Conservatives, the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement appears to be a positive for prime minister Stephen Harper as the country heads into the home stretch of a long election campaign. TPP negotiations are into triple overtime as this is being written, and an agreement seems imminent. However, the particulars of the agreement are not known, and even if an agreement is announced, analyzing the details will take time. Canada is expected to make concessions on dairy imports from

countries such as the United States and New Zealand in exchange for enhanced trade access in other sectors. Our auto parts sector is also expected to be negatively affected. Federal politicians have long feared the wrath of the well-organized dairy lobby concentrated in Quebec and Ontario. Politicians of all stripes have tripped over themselves in previous elections and in between elections to pledge allegiance to Canada’s supply management system for dairy and poultry. So you’d think having TPP negotiations during the federal election campaign would have been a big worry for Harper. Instead, most of the population seems to understand that the nation can’t walk away from important deals with its major trading partners, and that any negotiation involves give and take. The true test is how the government compensates the industries that take a hit for the national good.

NDP leader Tom Mulcair, who has often looked prime ministerial during the campaign, comes across as opportunistic on this issue. Mulcair has pledged that an NDP government would not ratify a TPP deal involving dairy concessions. No matter the benefit to canola, wheat, pulse and beef producers, not to mention other huge segments of the economy, the NDP says it would treat supply management as some sacrosanct right. That makes for some great-sounding quotes on the election trail, but it’s just bad policy. For his part, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has taken a commendable stand by saying he will have to see the details before deciding whether a Liberal government would ratify the deal. Unlike Mulcair, he isn’t rejecting it sight unseen. How this issue will play out in the final weeks of the campaign is anyone’s guess. What’s in the deal will

become a major focus. For the dairy sector, having the deal come to fruition during a federal election campaign is probably an advantage. The Conservatives and Liberals are likely to come out with promises on how they will mitigate the impact on negatively affected sectors. During a tight campaign, the pledges of support are likely to be more generous that what they would get from a midterm government. As for the election outcome, Mulcair and the NDP would appear to have painted themselves into a corner. By currying favour with dairy producers and taking an intractable position, they risk alienating most other export sectors. TPP could end up an election win element for either Harper or Trudeau. For Mulcair, TPP could end up as one of the elements driving the party to a third place finish. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

f you look hard enough, will you find a dead rat in Canada’s version of the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal? Maybe, but the carcass doesn’t appear to be in the farming sector. New Zealand, which was one of the nemesis countries for Canada, pushed hard to allow its dairy sector access to Canadian markets. That was anathema to Canadian farmers who are protected by supply management quotas. The deal announced Oct. 5 between 12 nations covering 40 percent of the world’s gross domestic product is now being sold to citizens in each country. In New Zealand, trade minister Tim Groser noted that each country had to make some “ugly compromises” to get the deal done. He then offered up this gem as quoted by the New Zealand Herald’s website: “And when we say ugly, we mean ugly from each perspective. It doesn’t mean I’ve got to swallow a dead rat and you’re swallowing foie gras. It means both of us are swallowing dead rats on three or four issues to get this deal across the line.” It’s doubtful you’ll see prime minister Stephen Harper use such a colourful metaphor. The humdrum headline issued by Agriculture Canada says, “Government of Canada delivers new programs for supply management sector.” It might be spin, but it’s not dizzying. The deal opens key Asian-Pacific markets to Canadian beef, pork, fruit, grain and canola oil producers, possibly worth billions of dollars in the future. However, Canada had to surrender part of its dairy sector quotas. TPP partners will have access to 3.25 percent of the dairy market, 2.3 percent of the egg market, 2.1 percent for chicken and two percent for turkey. For this, Ottawa will provide 100 percent income protection for 10 years for producers and some protection for dropping quota values when they are sold. In all, the feds are providing $4.3 billion to supply managed producers and processors to steer them through the effects of the deal. No one has seen the final version of the agreement, so that decaying rat may yet be lurking in the text, but from an agricultural standpoint, the sky is still high and blue. brian.macleod@producer.com

CLIMATE CHANGE IGNORED To the Editor; We need new, major initiatives to promote industry solutions, and education to counteract climatechange. We have met none of our climatechange reduction targets under prime minister Stephen Harper. He voted “no” to climate change accountability, to implementation of the Kyoto Accord and refused to attend the UN Global Summit on Climate Change. How does he explain these actions to his children?

We need the group-inventiveness of Canadians and climate scientists to help reduce our emissions. Instead, this government used our money to promote tar sands and pipelines, while covering up how these increase climate change. They don’t allow climate scientists to speak to the public.

They “balanced the budget,” adding $160 billion to our public debt. A Conservative MP was convicted of election fraud. Harper responded with laws making it harder for people to vote.

ANSWERS FUDGED To the Editor; In the markets section (WP Oct. 1, 2015) there was a column headlined, “Will fertilizer prices rise next spring?” I stared at the headline, wondering what sort of person wrote such a headline. Young and callow, or old and cynical? If the latter, then it is a purely rhetorical question. When last did fertilizer prices fall in the spring? But what are we to make of the answers from J.P. Gervais, chief Ag. Economist at Farm Credit Canada, and Dan Mazier, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers? We all know that natural gas is a large component in fertilizer, and we also know that the price of natural gas has been in the tank for quite a while. Yet the best that Gervais can come up with is bafflement that low-priced gas makes no evident difference to the price of nitrogen. He makes an attempt at bafflegab by talking about the price of fertilizer “decoupling” from the price of natural gas. Dan Mazier also fudges the question. The answer to what is going on with fertilizer is evident with almost everything we buy these days If you buy gas at the pump, do you think the fluctuations are a result of supply and demand? If you pick up a tin of your favorite coffee, and the tin is smaller and the price bigger, how do you account for that? If the drug your well-being is dependent on suddenly goes up several hundred percent, is that an indication the market is behaving as it should? The truth is, greed is becoming unmanageable. We are slaying the miraculous goose. The world is awash in people looking for overnight riches. Why should fertilizer companies be any different? Greed is a terrible master. It is driving the need for more land, bigger machines, fancier vehicles and it is exponential. What was enough CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

last year, may not be half enough next year. That is one of the problems with greed. Once successful at pulling an exorbitant price out of something, an air of uncertainty is introduced. If the area of reasonable profit is abandoned, what should I charge? When greed is in the driver’s seat, the answer is “whatever the market will bear.” If I have all the power, as the fertilizer companies have, and the people who require my product must have it to continue in industrial farming, in such a world of greed as we now live in, what will the market bear? I think we are merely on the cusp of marketplace that will make the Roman Coliseum at its bloodiest look like a Sunday afternoon picnic. There is a very ugly process in place. About this time of year, like clockwork, columns like the one under discussion begin. Farmers are urged to stock up on fertilizer, “because it will be higher in the spring.” So they sell grain at a low price, or load up on cash advances, and buy fertilizer at a price that nets fertilizer companies rich profits. Then the people who either couldn’t afford to buy in the fall, or made the error of thinking Charlie Brown style that prices might be lower in the spring, sure enough, get severely penalized for not doing as they are told. It’s a process I’ve seen repeated several years now. It’s a dirty, shameful business, but it’s par for industrial farming. All I know, if living to the age I have tells me anything, it is not going to end well. Fertilizer is only one part of the picture.

INFO SUPPRESSED To the Editor: Who is served by suppressing information? Discontinuing the long form census means no reliable data collection regarding living conditions of Canadians. How then to create good long-term policy? Libraries at federal ag research facilities (like the stations at Swift Current and Lethbridge) have been closed. Librarians have been fired. Thousands of books, manuals, journals, and research papers have been destroyed. Valuable archival papers dating back over a 100 years are moved to neglected basement corners. This dumbing down of Canadians is happening as we enter a period of climate variability which has already caused political instability. This is precisely the wrong t i m e t o f i re l i b ra r i a n s, s e n d research papers and books to the dumpsters, muzzle scientists and decrease the knowledge base. Who is served? Not Canada or the Canadian public. The 2015 general election is a chance to change direction— both an opportunity and a responsibility for everyone. Stewart Wells, Swift Current, Sask.

here’s nothing like working at a newspaper when “breaking news” occurs. For journalists, it’s a little like overtime in a big hockey game — the pressure’s on and you want to do the best you can to help your team win.

The big story this week was the signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. I noticed something was up shortly after I awoke and checked out Twitter to see what was making news. Last Monday it was #TPP. The first thing I needed to do was let our WP Twitter followers know this landmark agreement had been reached. Easier said than done. I immediately started scouring the torrent of tweets using the #TPP hashtag, but I was having difficulty finding the sort of “credible” source for this news I was looking for. Lots of individuals were commenting, but I was looking for a

statement from, say, the Government of Canada, or its trade minister. I eventually found something from the “other WP” — The Washington Post. At work I had a quick chat with news editor Terry Fries and immediately set about finding a wire service story to post on the WP website. Moments later Karen Briere filed her first story of the day on the subject, and I was able to add our own reporting on the TPP deal to our site. Managing editor Michael Raine emailed some web-sized photos to complement our coverage. Throughout the day various WP reporters scoured their beats for

reaction to the news. Winnipeg reporter Ed White would gather reaction from the meat sectors and supply management folks. Brian Cross would be talking to grain and oilseed growers. Yours truly and the web team established a “one stop” page that would contain all our TPP coverage, including a Twitter widget that would gather any tweet tagged #TPP, and a Storify collection of stories from other news sources, images and social media comments. It was a fun game Monday. And I think the WP team played well. Keep your stick on the ice. paul.yanko@producer.com

While both the federal and Ontario governments maintain that raw m i l k p o s e s a h e a l t h h a z a rd , Schmidt wants its sale regulated. He views the farm-share arrangement as a way to abide by government rules. Farmers and their families are allowed to consume raw milk and members of the farmshare should have the same right, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The farm share members have basically invested into the farm. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a co-operative systemâ&#x20AC;Ś. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re completely part of the farm. They are decision makers on the farm.â&#x20AC;? Previously, there was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cowshareâ&#x20AC;? arrangement at the farm but court decisions ruled that this was simply a means to circumvent the rules. Jolanta Kowalski, spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), said representatives of at least three government branches were successful in their Oct. 2 investigation. No charges have been laid at this point. Schmidt said he and about 50 supporters stopped officials, who were backed up by Ontario Provincial Police officers, from seizing cheese making and milk processing equipment. However, records and computer equipment were taken; a pointless exercise, he said because he openly shares information on the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation. This is the third major raid on his farm, Schmidt said. It occurred after public health officials in York Region obtained a search warrant and seized a van belonging to the farm, according to reports in Toronto newspapers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a health issue. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a political issue,â&#x20AC;? Schmidt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have long pushed for open dialogue. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to change the health act or the milk act.â&#x20AC;? Schmidt said he has milk quality records dating back almost 20 years involving monthly tests for listeria, salmonella and E. coli. Others marketing raw milk may not be so prudent, he said. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why steps should be taken to regulate the industry rather than shutting it down. Schmidt said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weary of the legal wrangling over raw milk consumption in Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can drag me to jail if you want a court case,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To say it plain, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pissed.â&#x20AC;? Last year, a senior official with Health Canada who spoke at a symposium in Guelph, said consideration was being given to opening the door to raw milk sales. Raw milk is marketed legally in several European and U.S. jurisdictions. Schmidt said he milks about 30 Canadienne dairy cows, a heritage breed developed in Canada. They are kept on pasture for most of the year and produce, on average, 4,000 kilograms of milk a year.

HARVEST 2015

Grain quality erodes as harvest drags on It’s estimated that western Canadian farmers still had close to one-third of their acres in the field as of Sept. 30 BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There’s some good, some bad and some ugly in this year’s western Canadian cereal crop. Harvest is not over yet, but it looks like the crop will be all over the map, comprising a wide range of grades and quality factors. Daryl Beswitherick, manager of quality assurance standards with the Canadian Grain Commission, said the commission’s harvest sample program has now received 5,000 submissions, which is half of the 10,000 that are nor mally expected. The good news is that the vast majority of early red spring wheat submissions fell within the top two grades. The bad news is that later samples are showing a marked reduction in quality, with mildew and sprouting becoming more common as the harvest season drags on. “ We a re b e g i n n i n g t o s e e a decline in quality,” Beswitherick said. “We’re still looking at 80, almost 90 percent of the (samples) grading in the top two grades, but we really anticipate those numbers starting to go down. It’s estimated that western Canadian grain farmers still had close to one-third of their total acres in the field as of Sept. 30. Of those acres, much of the wheat will likely be downgraded to No. 3 or feed, depending on the extent of sprouting and mildew, Beswitherick said. “Mildew is becoming more prominent with the wetter weather that we’ve had in September,” he said. “We’re starting to see more threes and feed … and we’re also starting to see more samples … that have some green kernels and some fully mature kernels, where there was kind of two crops within a crop.” The grain commission is beginning to prepare composite samples, which will be used to assess the end-use functionality of the milling wheat harvest, he added. It should have a good handle on the overall quality of this year’s harvest by the end of October. Average protein levels of the CWRS samples submitted was around 14.1 percent as of last week. Kent Erickson, a grower from Irma, Alta., said harvest has been a challenge for most producers in his area. Some growers didn’t harvest a bushel of dry grain in September, he said. “If you’re looking at central and northeastern Alberta, you’re probably looking at anywhere from 75 percent left in the field down to around 40 percent or so,” Erickson said Oct. 1. “In our area, we’re probably closer to 50 or 60 percent done, but quality is all over the map.” In many areas, producers struggled with harvest management decisions, unsure whether they should swath, desiccate or wait for fields to mature naturally. “Anything that was swathed in our country on the cereals side is

just terrible,” Erickson said. “Guys with swathers tended to swath their crops this year, but (in terms of quality) it looks like that was the wrong thing to do.” Mitchell Japp, provincial cereals grains specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said management of uneven crops has presented a unique challenge this year. Many growers who were forced to choose between swathing and desiccating also struggled with timing their chemical applications properly.

“Any of the products (that are used) for pre-harvest management in wheat are (designed) for the end of hard dough stage, and anything that’s still green isn’t at hard dough stage yet,” Japp said. “(Those products) will dry it up, but it’s not the way to do it because it can create a marketing problem and not one that we want to see.” Premature fall applications of a product such as glyphosate on standing cereals can result in the accumulation of chemical residues

Glyphosate and desiccants should not be applied before the hard dough stage, when kernels have reached physiological maturity and moisture content in normally below 30 percent. “At physiological maturity, that herbicide won’t move into the seed any more, but prior to that it will, so it’s really important to follow (label recommendations),” Japp said.

This federal election campaign is likely Gerry Ritzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife had me 90 percent convinced not to run again,â&#x20AC;? he said of the current campaign where he is seeking his seventh term in Battlefords-Lloydminster. In the last four years he averaged only three to four nights a month at home and spent weeks travelling the world promoting Canadian agricultural products and working on trade deals. And, there are the death threats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a death threat by Tuesday itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a slow week,â&#x20AC;? he quips in true Ritz style. But there are things he wants to see finished, including trade deals, the country-of-origin labelling dispute with the United States and better grain transportation logistics in Canada, so the 64-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is back on the ballot. He sometimes is criticized for not getting back to ribbon-cuttings and local events but he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more important that he gets the funding that led to the ribbon-cutting. Plus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 hours one way back to the riding in northwestern Saskatchewan. He also is criticized for the money spent on his travel. He says just ask the Canadian Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association about the value of it, however. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CCA would tell you itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2,000 for every dollar invested,â&#x20AC;? he said. So he keeps on, despite the fact that jet lag hurts a little more these days, and he expects to be back on the government benches after the Oct. 19 vote. First elected in 1997, Ritz was named agriculture minister 10 years later. In the 2011 election he took 67 percent of the vote, followed by the NDP at 27 percent. Challengers this time include G l e n n Ta i t f o r t h e N D P, w h o stepped in after Sandra Arias dropped out in late September citing financial strain. Larry Ingram is r unning for the Liberals and Mikaela Tenkink for the Green party. Former NDP provincial cabinet minister Doug Anguish entered the race late last month as an independent. Ritz has been on secondary campaign tours across the country and said agriculture is in good shape. The issue most people raise is stability, he said. Farmers want to know what governments are going to do so they can build their businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We very much view our relationship with industry as a partnership,â&#x20AC;? Ritz said. AgriStability in particular always comes up, he said. People either want to see the business risk management prog ra m g o n e c o m p l e t e l y , w i t h enhanced insurance-based programming, or they are concerned it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go far enough to help them. He likens it to a tight-rope walk

trying to balance the interests of those who want governments to do everything and those who want it out of the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not promising anything,â&#x20AC;? he said when asked about possible changes to business risk management programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Changes to the business risk management suite are driven by votes of the provinces and territories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can be part of the discussion, part of the debate, we can certainly shape what that debate might be.â&#x20AC;? Specific agricultural platforms have been few and far between during this campaign but Ritz said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because any discussion of trade, the economy, infrastructure and other areas naturally include the agricultural sector and rural residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture is so foundational to (the) Canadian economy and rural development,â&#x20AC;? he said. Farmers tell him they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need specific agriculture platform promises, he said, but lobbyists and organizations do because they want something to hang their hats on. While Ritz said he is happy to return to a Conservative government cabinet in any capacity there are suggestions that he could serve as transport minister. He said he is anxious to see the final report of the Canada Transportation Act review but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect that until after the election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any of their recommendations will come as a shock to anyone, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been that inclusive,â&#x20AC;? he said of the review panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all know that many things need to be addressed. The railways have been the problem a couple of years ago and one continues to be.â&#x20AC;? Ritz doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apologize for changes and cuts to the former Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration in the last term or for his blunt talk. On the decision to transfer the federal pastures to the provinces: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the risk of getting more death threats, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to unionize c o w b oy s o n a q u a d r u n n i n g around in a pasture. Farmers themselves are great environmentalists.â&#x20AC;? On the Green party platform to support local, small-scale agriculture: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The price of oxen is going to go up because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need them to pull the plow.â&#x20AC;? On the question of whether his presence in Atlanta would have added weight to the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only 180 pounds.â&#x20AC;? karen.briere@producer.com

ELECTION 2015

Few expect big Liberal gains despite strong candidates Political experts say rural ridings on the Prairies still have a strong Conservative base, with the NDP gaining ground BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

CALGARY — Kent Hehr zips into a coffee shop in his wheelchair like the man on a mission that he is. The Liberal candidate in Calgary Centre has been given the job of defeating Conservative incumbent Joan Crockatt and is one of several the party hopes will increase the western Liberal presence in Ottawa. Hehr was a popular provincial Liberal MLA before moving into federal politics. “I thought it was important that Calgary have a Liberal in the next Parliament,” he said. “This has become a very progressive place over the last couple of decades.” Calgary was solidly Conservative blue after 2011, and the province didn’t send any Liberals to Ottawa. It was a similar story throughout the West. Saskatchewan and Manitoba each had one Liberal MP and British Columbia had two. Veteran Regina-Wascana MP Ralph Goodale said the chances of increasing those numbers are good, although he will most certainly remain the only Liberal from Saskatchewan. “I think there’s growth potential in Western Canada,” he said. “One thing that (Liberal leader Justin) Trudeau has done very well is his recruitment of candidates.” He points to Hehr, former Federation of Canadian Municipalities president Karen L eibovici in Edmonton West and a popular alderman, Amarjeet Sohi, in Edmonton Mill Woods. Projections last week showed Edmonton Centre candidate Randy Boissonnault, an entrepreneur, leading in a seat with no incumbent. In Calgary, polling results appear strong for former MLA Darshan Kang in Calgary Skyview. Voters there actually have a choice of eight candidates, including an independent, the Democratic Advancement Party, the Marxist-Leninist Party and the Progressive Canadian Party. Voters in Edmonton Strathcona can also vote for the Rhinoceros Party or the Pirate Party. In Manitoba, four Liberal candidates were comfortably ahead in the polls with three weeks left. Dan Vandal was leading in St. BonifaceSt. Vital, where Conservative Shelley Glover did not seek re-election, while incumbent Kevin Lamoureux is likely to be re-elected in Winnipeg North. The Liberals’ Terry Duguid was ahead in Winnipeg South, also where a Conservative incumbent chose not to run again. And in Winnipeg South Centre, Jim Carr could defeat Conservative Joyce Bateman. The Liberals were ahead in 10 B.C. ridings as of last week, all of them in urban areas. University of Calgary political scientist Barry Cooper said the numbers say one thing, but voters might do another. “I don’t really think that Justin Trudeau is going to have a breakthrough on the Prairies,” he said.

“Many people remember his last name and his father.” He said Trudeau hasn’t shown much command of foreign or domestic policy and displays a “lack of gravitas” in the way he conducts himself. Cooper said Hehr in Calgary Centre is the most likely Liberal winner in Alberta, but he won’t make predictions for Edmonton. At Mount Royal University, Lori Williams said Hehr is well known with a proven track record and is up against a “very conservative candi-

date in a riding that isn’t particularly conservative.” Former prime minister Joe Clark, who was known as a red Tory, represented the region at one time. However, Cooper and Williams don’t expect Liberal gains in rural prairie ridings. The Conservatives still have a strong base in those ridings. As well, they say vote splits between the Liberals and the NDP in urban ridings could still lead to some surprising results election night. Hehr said this election, following the Alberta provincial shift to the

NDP, is allowing people to vote the way they always wanted. “I get the sense that many progressives in Calgary were forced to join the Conservative Party of Canada (as candidates) because they felt it was the only way to get elected,” he said. It could be a more competitive landscape for all political parties.” Hehr predicted that he will win or lose by 200 votes. He also disagrees with Cooper’s assessment that people hear Trudeau and think of Pierre Elliott, Justin’s father and a

former prime minister who was unpopular in Western Canada. “In my view, since this election has started, Justin Trudeau is playing a lot better than he was at the start,” Hehr said. “I don’t get that ‘is Justin ready’ question as much anymore, and we’re a long way from the grievances of the past.” Goodale also said Trudeau has shown he has his own ideas by talking about resource development and getting exports to market. karen.briere@producer.com

Glencore in talks to sell ag assets The owner of Viterra wants to reduce its US$30 billion debt LONDON/TORONTO (Reuters) — Glencore, owner of Viterra, is in talks with a Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund and China’s statebacked grain trader COFCO, along with Canadian pension funds, to sell a stake in its agricultural assets, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

UBS analyst Myles Allsop has valued Glencore’s entire agriculture business at between $10 and $12 billion. Sources said Glencore is creating a separate legal entity for the assets involved, expected to be mostly those inherited from the C$6.1 billion purchase of grain handler Viterra in 2012, a deal which boosted its grain operations in Canada and Australia in particular. One source said Glencore was considering selling minority stakes to several parties but no more than 49 percent of the new entity. “They (agricultural assets) are a business that Glencore wants to grow, but that requires capital and Glencore doesn’t want to put the capital into it because of the balance sheet ... so they say let’s sell part of it,” said a source. It was not clear which Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund was involved in the talks, but statebacked Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co (SALIC) has been active in the sector, having entered a joint venture with U.S. grain trader Bunge Ltd. to invest in CWB in April. SALIC did not respond to a request for comment. China’s COFCO has also been expanding its agriculture activities, having invested $2.8 billion in 2014 via joint ventures with Noble Group’s agribusiness and Dutch grain trader Nidera, after taking substantial stakes in the companies. Two sources said Canadian pension funds and Japanese trading houses were also interested in a stake in Glencore’s agriculture assets. One banker said Canadian pension fund CPPIB is taking a close look at the opportunity. CPPIB declined to comment.

OPT OUT OPTION

Italy intends to ban growing of GM crops ROME, Italy (Reuters) — Italy has told the European Commission that it will ban the production of genetically modified crops under a rule that allows European Union countries to opt out of GMO cultivation. The country’s agriculture, environment and health ministers w ro t e t o t h e c o m m i s s i o n t o “request to exclude cultivation of all the GMOs authorized at an EU level from all of Italian territory.” An EU law approved in March cleared the way for new GM crops to be approved after years of deadlock. However, the law also gave countries the right to ban GM crops even after they have been approved as safe by the EC. Germany has sent a similar letter to Brussels, and Bulgaria also said it would opt out of GMO cultivation.

Hoop dance unites global family Performer uses up to 30 different coloured hoops to show how people of different races and cultures can work together BY ASHLEY ROBINSON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ROSTHERN, Sask. — When Teddy Anderson returned home to Canada from Rwanda in the 1990s, he had a tough time being nice to people. It wasn’t until he saw his future teacher, Ojibwa Scott Ward, perform the hoop dance that that changed. “I felt it was a way of moving past what I was going through. And so it was a way of healing,” Anderson said. He now travels the world spreading his message of understanding. “I believe that it’s kind of like my mission to help people, help teach people that we’re essentially one family … the differences we create are fabricated, they’re not actually real,” he said. Anderson performs the traditional aboriginal hoop dance at schools, conferences and other events, speaking about the circle and how everything in life is connected. “My understanding and the healers, these medicine men would use (the hoop dance) as a way to gain a deeper understanding of our reality,” he said. Growing up, Anderson travelled the world with his parents, who worked for the United Nations. Ward taught him the dance and at the age of 15, he was welcomed into the Ojibwa tribe. Anderson is a Canadian with Persian, English, Scottish and Nor wegian ancestry. First Nations tribes have been generally receptive to Anderson performing the hoop dance. “I explain how I’m honouring the tradition that was given to me and I have cultural permission to do this and I’m not hiding who I am. I’m not pretending to be someone that I’m not.” In Anderson’s performances, he begins with a song on the flute that honours the First Nation people and the history of the land. That is followed by a prayer in aboriginal sign language to explain symbolism. “I do two hoop dances with 30 hoops where I explain the meanings of working together as a global

He finishes by asking members of the audience to come and dance with him, followed by questions and answers. Last month, Anderson performed for students at Rosthern Elementary School. Jacquie Thiessen, a kindergarten teacher at Rosthern, said that the students enjoyed Anderson’s performance. “Sometimes kids hear the same message from teachers everyday but when it’s brought in, someone from the outside, especially someone with such skills like that, it really makes an impact,” she said. Anderson lives with his wife, a school teacher, and family in Victoria, where he earned a degree in child and youth care from the University of Victoria.

What I’m trying to do with the hoop dance is actually create a therapeutic space onstage where people can unload what they’re dealing with and process what they’re dealing with. TEDDY ANDERSON HOOP DANCER

“She loves (my work) and she thinks what I do is very, very important for the education world,” Anderson said. His degree taught him about therapy and relationships, which he uses during his performances. “What I’m trying to do with the hoop dance is actually create a

therapeutic space onstage where people can unload what they’re dealing with and process what they’re dealing with,” he said. Last year, he released his first children’s book, The Medicine Wheel Stories of a Hoop Dancer. “(The book is) really about teaching kids about whether you’re First Nations or European descent or wherever you’re from, we all belong to one human family,” said Anderson.

DANCE DETAILS Native American hoop dancing serves many functions. • It is a form of storytelling. • It provides a connection to the past. • It passes on knowledge from one generation to the next. Making dancing hoops is an art. Hoops were custom made, originally from reeds or willow branches. The colours of the hoops often have special significance to the dancer or his tribe. Hoop dance has gained a strong following internationally and is now performed by Cirque du Soleil.

Potato growers rebound from financial crisis Farm was forced to find new markets after potatoes were misdiagnosed with a disease that closed U.S. border to exports BY MARY MACARTHUR

ON THE FARM

CAMROSE BUREAU

FORT SASKATCHEWAN, Alta. — It’s Ernie Van Boom and Cecil Goutbeck’s 35th potato harvest and it’s going well. Fall rain meant more of the rich top soil comes in from the field attached to the potato than they would like, but workers with shovels and wheelbarrows clean up the soil where it falls from the conveyor belts. “We’re happy as everyone else that the weather is getting nicer,” said Van Boom, co-owner of North Bank Potato Farms. Grain harvest on the rest of the 6,000 acres was also well underway. “Before the rain, it came off really nice,” said Goutbeck. Like most farms, rain or lack of rain dictates the season. Potato harvest started Sept. 8 and if the good weather holds, the 570 acres of potatoes will be out of the field and into the storage bins by the second week of October. The soil clinging to the potatoes will soon dry up and fall off when air begins to circulate around the potatoes in the giant storage sheds.

ERNIE VAN BOOM & CECIL GOUTBECK Fort Saskatchewan, Alta. Potatoes and grain seem to be a good combination. The farm grows potatoes once every four years on the same land but sometimes the rotation drops to one in three years to ensure the potatoes are grown under one of the seven irrigation pivots. This year when the rain was scarce, the pivots ensured there was a crop for market. Van Boom said he sometimes takes their rich, black soil northeast of Edmonton for granted. A few years ago, the family rented hay land 30 kilometres away to grow potatoes and was disappointed in the yield. The soil is good for growing

are constant hassles with potato production because the soil infiltrates every bearing, chain or crack in the equipment. When Van Boom and Goutbeck took over the farm from Goutbeck’s father, they raised table potatoes but it became clear their soil was ideal for growing seed potatoes. Their seed potatoes are sold to potato growers in Canada and the U.S. “I married into potatoes,” said Van Boom, joking that he asked Goutbeck to be his partner in potatoes before asking his wife, Helen, to marry. Van Boom is married to Goutbeck’s sister. Goutbeck and his wife, Shirley, have four children and Van Boom and Helen have five children. North Bank Potato Farms is part of Edmonton Potato Growers, a potato co-operative of 10 growers. Most of the seed potato sales are made through the Edmonton Potato Growers, but the growers are encouraged to find and nurture additional markets. “The co-op allows us to be proactive and find more markets and be proactive and visit our own buyers,” he said. “They still want us to develop a grower to grower relationship.” Those relationships were tested in 2007 when the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said a small single potato cyst nematode egg sac was discovered in one of their fields. The American border closed to Alberta potato farmers and the industry was thrown into chaos. “It virtually put us out of business,” said Van Boom. The impact has lingered, even though 40,000 subsequent soil samples by CFIA failed to find a single PCN. The family couldn’t grow potatoes on land that once grew potatoes for two years. They were also forced to dump existing potatoes and scrub their equipment. “We lost business for two years in a row.”

Luckily they had just sold some land for future energy development and the money from the sale of the land kept the family afloat. “It hit us hard,” said Van Boom. With the help of Edmonton Potato Growers, the Potato Growers of Alberta and the Canadian Horticulture Council, the family found markets for new potato varieties. When PCN hit, they were growing four varieties for long established customers. After PCN, they lost their markets and started growing nine varieties for any possible market. They are now down to six varieties and have developed markets for the new varieties of seed potatoes. “We went through a lot of pain. There was a lot of risk taking. Some varieties worked and some didn’t.” A later analysis of CFIA’s disease management plan identified serious problems in how the federal agency dealt with the issue. Before Van Boom was married, he worked in a power plant and couldn’t see his life in a small house with a picket fence. “I wanted a challenge and the farm has never let me down,” he said. Van Boom’s son, Russell, and Goutbeck’s son, Keith, have taken over the grain business and next year plan on taking over the potato business. Van Boom said he never encouraged his children to take over the farm, but he is excited the next generation will bring new, fresh ideas to the business. “It’s a great time to give the responsibility to someone new,” he said. “I’ll still be here if they need me.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

Treat guests to curry rubbed Cornish hen with kettle chips, cream corn with pimento and cranberry, pear and ginger chutney. | SARAH GALVIN PHOTOS

THANKSGIVING DINNER

Skip the big bird; go small with Cornish hen TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

veryone loves the traditional Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, mashed potato and gravy but once in a while a change is welcomed. This Cornish hen recipe can be made for two people or 20, allowing a half bird per person. Serve it with kettle chips rather than mashed potatoes and gravy.

CURRY RUBBED CORNISH HEN Sun Brand Madras curry powder is considered the best. It has a flavourful punch without spicy heat. Remove Cornish hen from the refrigerator a half hour before roasting for more even cooking. Serve with chutney. 1 Cornish hen 2 tbsp. soft butter 30 mL 1 tbsp. Madras Curry Powder 15 mL Defrost bird overnight in refrigerator. When ready to roast, begin by cutting on both sides of the backbone with kitchen scissors and discarding it. Using a sharp chef’s knife, slice through the centre of the breastbone. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Dry skin thoroughly with paper towels. Blend butter with curry powder and rub it over the entire skin side of the bird. Preheat a cast iron skillet large enough to hold both halves over medium high heat. Place skin side down and brown as much of the skin as possible. Turn over and move skillet to the oven. Roast for about 30 minutes or until done, then remove from oven and tent with foil until ready to serve. Serves two. This can easily be made for a crowd. After browning, place halves on a baking sheet to keep warm.

CRANBERRY, PEAR AND GINGER CHUTNEY 2 c. apple cider vinegar 1 c. finely chopped onion

500 mL 250 mL

1/4 c. finely chopped 60 mL peeled fresh ginger 2 1/2 tsp. finely grated 12 mL lemon peel 2 1/2 tsp. finely grated 12 mL orange peel 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half 1/2 tsp. dried crushed red 2 mL pepper 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 1 mL 3/4 c. dried cranberries 200 mL 1 1/4 c. golden brown 310 mL sugar, packed 3 lbs. pears, peeled, 1500 g cored and cut into 3/4–in. cubes (2 cm)

Vaccinations and drug interactions HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Can you discuss drug interactions between vaccinations (flu shots, shingles, hepatitis) and medications? Which are ones to be concerned about if taken in combination? What could be expected to happen?

Most medications and vaccines come with inserts de-tailing possible side effects and drug interactions. This is one way that drug companies protect themselves from potential lawsuits. The ones that come with vaccines may say something like: “Before receiving this vaccine, tell the doctor if you have multiple sclerosis, a bleeding or blood clotting disorder, seizures, a weak immune system, if you are taking a blood thinner, or if you are allergic to latex rubber, eggs or sulpha drugs.” An interaction between a vaccine and drug has only been reported in relation to the influenza vaccine and four drugs, aminopyrine, phenytoin, theophylline, and warfarin, and with BCG vaccine for tuberculosis and theophylline. Some of these interactions are still not confirmed. The underlying mechanism is thought to be due to the vaccine as an interferoninducer inactivating the cytochrome P-450 enzyme system in the liver. This results in a slower drug metabolism and reduced clearance in the liver. Because this is a non-specific mechanism, it could occur with other vaccines. The clinical significance of vaccine-drug interactions is not fully determined. Available evidence suggests that adverse reactions to warfarin or theophylline are rare after flu vaccination so this should not deter physicians from vaccinating patients at risk from influenza. Physicians or nurses should monitor the response of these patients to medication immediately following vaccination in case an adverse reaction occurs. The minor problem with Prolia and vaccinations such as Twinrix for hepatitis A and B is due to the mechanism of action of any type of vaccine. As vaccines work by boosting the immune system, any medication that works the opposite way (weakening the immune response) will lessen the effectiveness of the shot. Immunosuppressant drugs are used in the treatment of auto-

immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis. They are also used to prevent rejection of organs that have been transplanted. Prolia (Denosunab) is an injectable drug given mostly to postmenopausal women twice a year as an alternative to the oral medications normally used to treat problems with bone density and those at high risk of fractures. It works by helping to stop the development of bone-removing cells before they can reach the bones and cause damage. It does this by suppressing parts of the immune system and so may cause

vaccinations such as Twinrix to be less effective. It may also affect the effectiveness of other vaccinations, but this has not been proven at this time. Blood thinners such as warfarin may also cause other minor concerns such as bleeding or bruising at the injection site, due to the affect on blood clotting mechanisms, but this is generally not a serious enough problem to prevent a person from receiving a vaccination.

Family opens hearts to Ukrainian sisters Girls fell in love with Canadian family and farm life BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

CREELMAN, Sask. — The young Ukrainian sisters had no idea where they were going. All they were told was that they were leaving their orphanage in Balta, Ukraine, for Canada. At the Calgary airport, Kym van Staveren waited impatiently, hop-

ing that her Saskatchewan farm family could offer Alina, 11, and Oksana, 13, a good home for the next six weeks. Kym and Marcel van Staveren and their two teenaged sons were participating in Frontier Horizon’s Ukraine Orphan Hosting program. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

“Alina’s eyes were so huge and she looked so scared. She would not let go of Oksana’s hand,” said van Staveren, recalling meeting the girls for the first time. They had lived in a Ukrainian orphanage for two years where their daily routine of school and chores left little time for anything else. “Our goal was to just do regular things with them because we wanted them to experience a family setting, to have fun and be free,” said van Staveren. Alina and Oksana enjoyed summer 2013 in Saskatchewan and meeting the extended families. The van Staverens operate a 13,000-acre grain farm with Marcel’s brothers, John and Vince.

The incorporated farm business, located near Creelman, Sask., employs three hired men and has an oil patch related side business. “Everybody was so nice to us and would hug us. Not many people do that in the Ukraine,” said Oksana.

Saying goodbye was difficult for everyone, even though van Staveren had planned to continue hosting the girls at Christmas and during the summer months. She knew adoption was the answer but realized a complex system of paperwork and approvals stood in the way. Eight months later in 2014, the van Staveren couple boarded a plane to Kiev, Ukraine, hoping their adoption plans could be realized. “People didn’t think we should go because the rioting on the streets of Kiev had just ended and the fighting started in Eastern Ukraine. Everyone was really concerned for our safety, but I knew we had to go and I just knew we were going to be OK,” said van Staveren. After visits to government offices to complete paperwork, the pair travelled to Balta to request adopting Alina and Oksana. The girls were pressured to refuse the request, but they were determined to go to Canada. “When we found out we could go, we were so excited,” said Oksana. It took another six weeks to complete the adoption process. After a harrowing trip home, which included many document inspections and questions, they all were back in Saskatchewan. Oksana and Alina along with their new brothers, Alex and Nathan, all attend school in Weyburn. Since then, the van Staverens’ neighbours, Clare and Wayne Vilcu, adopted siblings Oleg, 14, and Olya, 13, from the same orphanage. Van Staveren, who now works with Oksana’s Harvest Canada, a Canadian non-profit organization, says her family raises funds to improve conditions at the Balta orphanage. That includes money to install four water heaters, a washing machine and commercial size refrigerator and in future, new windows. “We find that this type of fundraising helps our girls emotionally. It was so hard for them to leave their friends behind, and to know that their friends are more comfortable means a lot to Oksana and Alina,” said van Staveren.

BARBECUE FOR 600

Gov’t thanked for handling BSE crisis FROM THE ARCHIVES

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

75 YEARS AGO: OCT. 10, 1940 Federal trade minister J.A. MacKinnon assured farmers they would be able to deliver wheat to merchants, wholesalers and suppliers as security against their accounts. The merchants would then act as warehousemen for farmers and eventually deliver the wheat to elevators in the farmers’ names. Earlier reports had suggested farmers would not be able to do this, and MacKinnon said he was clearing up the misconception. An “animated debate and lively discussion” at the Manitoba Horse Breeders’ Association’s annual meeting attempted to determine who was to blame for the declining

interest in horses, weak prices and other factors contributing to the unsatisfactory situation in which horse breeders found themselves. Some blamed breeders and others blamed farmers who no longer used horses on their farms.

50 YEARS AGO: OCT. 7, 1965 Leaf rust infection was heavy in prairie wheat, particularly in the Thatcher variety in Saskatchewan, according to the federal research station in Winnipeg. However, the disease developed a little late to cause maximum damage. Stem rust wasn’t a problem for farmers who grew resistant varieties, but losses were heavy in susceptible varieties. Researchers said farmers were fortunate to have suffered only moderate losses from the two diseases.

interest-free cash advances, but only temporarily. The government had decided the previous year to end the program. Grains and oilseeds minister Charlie Mayer had earlier argued against reinstatement, complaining that farmers who never used the program were now calling for its return. However, the policy ground now appeared to be shifting under Mayer’s feet. It was a hectic week of rumours, speculation and gossip as the grain trade tried to figure out if the Soviet Union was going to buy grain from Canada. A senior Soviet grain trader had met with the Canadian Wheat Board and government officials, but the board wouldn’t comment and no sales were announced.

10 YEARS AGO: OCT. 6, 2005 Canadian Pacific Railway asked the Board of Transport Commissioners for permission to suspend its Dominion trans-continental passenger service during the country’s export grain-handling emergency, but the board denied the request.

BAYER CROPSCIENCE

Expanded canola plant opens in Lethbridge BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A canola seed processing facility that is said to be the largest in the world officially opened Oct. 1 on the outskirts of Lethbridge. Bayer CropScience completed a $15.6 million expansion to its 2006 facility, increasing its building to 43,000 sq. feet and its bin storage and conveyance systems to a fiveacre footprint. The plant can now process more than 30,000 tonnes of canola seed per year. Southern Alberta is the centre of hybrid canola seed production in Canada, and the major canola seed companies all have facilities in the region. Al Driver, president of Bayer CropScience Canada, said one of every two Canadian canola fields grew the company’s InVigor brand last year, “and that’s the basis that we have built and expanded this facility.” Driver said Bayer’s initial facility, built at a cost of $8.4 million, was designed to clean five million acres of seed. Company officials wondered at the time if that capacity would ever be filled, he added. Now, about 20 million acres of canola are grown on the Prairies and the original plant size has more than doubled. “This facility will allow us to manage new traits, increase capacity,” said Driver. Bayer CropScience has also recently invested in improvements to its Regina plant, which produces Liberty herbicide, and last fall turned sod on a new wheat research facility at Pike Lake west of Saskatoon. The grand opening of the expanded Lethbridge plant was initially scheduled in June but postponed after harsh frost in Saskatchewan and Manitoba forced reseeding and thus major seed demand. The site now has 54 new bins, bringing the total to more than 160. Site manager Rob Southwell said the facility is now gearing up for the busy season of cleaning this year’s canola crop from the 250 contract growers. A workforce of nine full-time employees expands to 30 from now until the end of May, he said. Marcus Weidler, head of seeds in Canada for Bayer CropScience, said Lethbridge was an obvious choice for expansion. “Lethbridge is in the heart of the seed production area for canola. If you look around, the majority of all canola seed is produced here in this area, in rotation with other high value crops.” Crop diversity provides the needed separation for canola seed production, and irrigation availability removes a key variable. Weidler said the region may have reached its limit in terms of canola seed production and separation, so contracts are extending eastward and into Montana and Washington. That seed goes to the Lethbridge

plant for cleaning and bagging. The facility allows the company to better manage its InVigor seed varieties, which include those resistant to pod shatter and blackleg. The facility also conducts research into best seed handling techniques to minimize damage. “We kind of treat the seed as little diamonds,” he said. barb.glen@producer.com

CATTLE DEATHS

Ontario utility searches for stray voltage cause Ontario dairy farm learns that an in-ground steel barrier has reduced the ground current that caused calves to die BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

THAMESVILLE, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The largest electricity distributor in Ontario is trying to get to the bottom of stray voltage problems on the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dairy farms. A large crew from Hydro One and the firm Kinectrics settled in for a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work at Herbert Dairy Farm Sept. 30 to trace the source of suspected ground current. Supporting this evaluation were

members of the Uncontrolled Electricity Working Group, which comprises the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario and Farm and Food Care Ontario. Stray voltage experts Lorne Lantz and Lee Montgomer y, Herbert family members and the Electrical Safety Authority of Ontario also participated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have everyone agree to come on the farm at the same time is probably pretty good.â&#x20AC;Ś Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

working for a common goal,â&#x20AC;?said Bruce Kelly with Farm and Food Care Ontario. Patrick and Loretta Herbert simply want the problem fixed. They milk 30 cows but since 2008 have lost more than 40, usually in the weeks following calving. Their son, Charles, said the problem affects his future on the farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take over dead cows.â&#x20AC;? The Hydro One employees on site wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on their findings, but Lantz, who has expertise in the area, said the problem is most likely ground current attracted to the farmstead from the overloaded distribution system. He pointed to a meter he had

attached to the in-ground steel barrier installed around the barn earlier this year. It detected amps even though the electrical service had been disconnected. Lantz had recommended the installation of the barrier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The shielding is definitely doing its job,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Herberts are reserving their judgment but say there have been positive developments since they installed the shield early last summer. Five cows have calved since the shielding was installed and none have died. However, the somatic cell count of their milk remains high. Patrick Herbert hopes there will

be gradual improvement, and Lantz, who said he based his observation on other dairy farms where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked, suggested 75 percent of the cows may recover fully. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed that dairy cows are shocked by stray voltage in a substantive way because of their bulk and lack of rubber boots. The Herberts have also tested their water, changed feed dealers, consulted veterinarians and installed a Dairyland Isolater in an attempt to address the issue. The family said it had a record of delivering high quality milk before 2009. Somatic cell counts then started increasing and animals began dying.

NEW DELHI, India (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Hindu mob killed a Muslim man in India late last month over rumours he butchered a cow. The murder unleashed violence that police blamed on tension fuelled by politicians who seek strict protection of an animal many Hindus consider sacred. Many members of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s majority Hindu community see cows as holy, but beef is widely eaten by Hindus in parts of the south, as well as by members of lower castes and minority Muslims and Christians. Tougher measures to safeguard cows are often used as a rallying call by politicians seeking to win Hindu votes, sometimes leading to Hindu-Muslim riots. Mohammad Akhlaq, a blacksmith, died Sept. 28 after being kicked and beaten with stones by at least 10 men in the town of Dadri,

50 kilometres from the capital of New Delhi. A larger group had earlier gathered outside his home, accusing his family of secretly eating beef. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I screamed and shouted to tell the mob that we did not eat beef, and they should stop beating my father and my brother, but they pushed me away,â&#x20AC;? said his daughter, Sajida Saifi, who watched the attack helplessly. Akhlaqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son was taken to hospital with severe injuries. The murder triggered clashes between Hindus and Muslims in the town, and extra police were deployed to keep the peace. The rhetoric about cow protection had emboldened some people to act as vigilantes, said police officer Anurag Kumar, who is investigating the lynching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The incident is shocking,â&#x20AC;? he

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hindu mob felt they had a licence to kill.â&#x20AC;? India is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest exporter of beef and its fifth biggest consumer, but prime minister Narendra Modiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government wants a nationwide ban on cow slaughter and the beef trade, which is run mostly by Muslims. It has clamped down on the illegal trade of cattle with Muslim-majority neighbour Bangladesh, and two states ruled by Modiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party have tightened laws to protect cows.

FOOD SHORTAGE

Global hunger looms as drought ruins harvests in poorest countries LONDON, U.K. (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — At least 10 million poor people face hunger this year and next because of droughts and erratic rain, Oxfam has warned. The bad weather is linked to record global temperatures and an expected “super” version of the

evolving El Nino weather pattern. In Ethiopia, 4.5 million people need food aid because El Nino and long-term climate change have made the rainy season more unpredictable, according to United Nations agencies. El Nino, caused by Pacific Ocean

warming, leads to dry weather in some parts of the world and causes floods in others. This year, the phenomenon is expected to peak between October and January and could turn into one of the strongest on record. A scorching drought has already

ravaged crops in southern Africa. South Africa’s key corn crop has fallen by a third, and poor yields are expected to continue. In neighbouring Zimbabwe, where the corn harvest is 35 percent below average, the government blamed the drought-stricken

farm sector for a halving of its economic growth forecast in July. Harvests in Central America have fallen by as much as 60 percent for corn and 80 percent for beans because of prolonged dry spells linked to El Nino, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

WORLD IN BRIEF WEATHER

Drought strikes southern Africa JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Reuters) — A scorching drought that has cut South Africa’s key corn crop by a third is likely to continue into the southern hemisphere summer as an El Nino weather pattern strengthens, according to the latest forecast from the South African Weather Service. The forecast for the October to February summer period said the “likelihood of extreme warmer temperatures over most of South Africa is high.”

The current El Nino weather phenomenon is expected to peak between October and January and could turn into one of the strongest on record, experts have said. This could bring drier conditions to southern Africa, which is already suffering from drought. Zimbabwe’s government in July halved its economic growth forecast to 1.5 percent this year from 3.2 percent, blaming the drought-stricken agricultural sector. Dry conditions at the start of this summer could delay planting of the staple corn crop throughout the region, with ripples through the wider economy as food prices climb and the agricultural sector shrinks.

“I couldn’t go back to anything less than an Apache now. It’s a pretty nice place to do a day’s work in.” -Rob Allan, Davidson, SK

You have a lot of choices when it comes to purchasing spray application equipment: selfpropelled vs. pull-type, hydrostat vs. mechanical drive, rear-mounted vs. front-mounted booms. You can even hire a custom applicator to do the spraying for you. In side-by-side comparisons with competing brands and application methods, Apache Sprayers come out ahead. Let’s compare several differences. Easy on the wallet. Apaches are priced tens of thousands of dollars less than John Deere™ and Case IH™ self-propelled sprayers of comparable size and options. It is 34% more expensive to get a green sprayer with comparable capacity and con¿guration. %ut the savings don’t stop there. Lower operating costs, low service costs, greater fuel savings, and a higher resale value all work to your favor. Less weight

increases yield with less compaction. Apaches weigh 3,000 – 14,000 lbs less than other competing sprayers. Quality never compromised. Keeping the price down is a result of our manufacturing and business practices. Apaches feature a simple but rugged mechanical drive with no expensive wheel motors like hydrostat machines. We use as good as, or better, components. Power when and where you need it. Every 2016 Apache model has higher horsepower than its 2015 predecessor. And 90 percent of that horsepower is transferred directly from the engine to the ground, through Apache’s patented Powerto-the-Ground™ technology. Most hydrostat sprayers deliver around 70 percent power to the ground. Comfort and peace of mind. A premium heated and vented seat option, 360 degree view, an

Ocean sanctuary set aside WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Reuters) — Waters north of New Zealand are set to become one of the world’s largest ocean sanctuaries, covering an area roughly the size of France, with a full ban on fishing and mining, New Zealand prime minister John Key said at the United Nations. Called the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary, the area covers 620,000 sq. kilometres of ocean, encompasses a string of undersea volcanoes and is home to endangered marine life including whales, dolphins and turtles. The announcement surprised New Zealand’s seafood export industry, worth C$1.2 billion a year, and will prevent mining firms gaining seabed prospecting rights. “With no forewarning from government, the industry needs time to consider the full implications,” said George Clement, chair of industry body Seafood New Zealand. He added the ban would also apply to tuna, the fourth largest seafood export, according to 2013 data. The sanctuary legislation, tabled by the government for 2016, will also preclude all mining exploration and prospecting activities in the area. MARKETS

Russian nixes wheat export tax MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev has signed an order to cut a wheat export tax from Oct. 1 to a level previously proposed by the government. Russian wheat exports have been constrained by the tax, which has prevented exporters from fully benefitting from the weaker ruble and a large grain crop. The new duty formula is set at 50 percent of the customs price minus 6,500 rubles ($99) per tonne, but not less than 10 rubles per tonne, it added.

Protection for workers will increase with changes to U.S. pesticide safety standards. | FILE PHOTO

Pesticide protections (Reuters) — About two million American farm workers and others who work or live near farm fields will have more protection from hazardous pesticides under changes unveiled by federal officials in United States. The changes to the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard is designed to reduce the risk of injury and illnesses from contact with pesticides on farms and in forests, nurseries and greenhouses, according to officials with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Labor. “We depend on farmworkers every day... they deserve fair, equitable working standards with strong health and safety protections,” EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said. Each year, 1,800 to 3,000 occupational incidents involving pesticide exposure are reported from operations covered by the Worker Protection Standard, the EPA said. That range is thought to be lower than the actual number of incidents that occur, the agency said. The EPA said it is additionally concerned about low level, repeated exposure to pesticides that may contribute to chronic illness as well. U.S. farm workers, including migrant workers, commonly perform tasks by hand on pesticidetreated crops, such as harvesting, thinning and pruning. Additionally, workers often mix, load and apply pesticides. United Farm Workers president Arturo Rodriguez said the changes were badly needed for a population that is largely low-income and made up of minorities.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Input sought for revisions to poultry code of practice The current code separates meat birds and eggs layers, but changes will amalgamate the sectors and outline required practices BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Anyone who has an opinion on how chickens, turkeys and poultry breeding stock should be raised can now give their views to the committee that is revising the code of practice. The National Farm Animal Care

Council, which oversees code of practice updates, was to open the public comment period Oct. 5. Opportunities to comment will remain open until Dec. 4, when the committee will begin reviewing the information received. The code of practice for chickens, turkeys and breeders — meat birds, as opposed to egg layers — was last

updated in 2003. That code was used as a starting point, said NFACC general manager Jackie Wepruk, but the next version will have more clarity on practices that are required and those that are recommended. Industry groups decided in 2003 to combine the three types of poultry into one code, even though there are various production needs and differences among them. “While there are some individual differences that need to be addressed, there is enough commonality between the three that it made sense for them to do this together,” Wepruk said. The 15 member code development committee has had the peerreviewed scientific findings in hand since 2013, but the code development process was delayed until additional federal funding was approved. The committee has now developed a draft and public comment on it is the next step in the process. “We’re hoping that there’s going to be a high degree of interest,” said Wepruk. “The comments that provide constructive guidance for the code development committee are the most appreciated. It does make a

Every code that’s been developed through this process has taken into consideration the comments that come through this public comment process.” The committee is not given the names of individuals who comment, but submissions that come from a group are identified as such. The finalized code has a targeted release date sometime in June 2016. Wepruk acknowledged that animal welfare issues can be contentious and committee members are made aware of it at the start. In the case of meat birds, stocking density is an issue, as well as air and litter quality, lameness, cannibalism and euthanasia methods.

The scientific committee involved inthiscode,headedbyKarenSchweanLardner of the University of Saskatchewan, identified nine priority welfare issues: • male to female aggression in broiler breeders • feed restriction in broiler breeders and turkey breeders • feather pecking and cannibalism in broiler breeders and turkeys • air and litter quality • stocking density • lameness • lighting regimens • methods of euthanasia • surgical interventions in turkeys barb.glen@producer.com

CAREER FAIR

Alta. job seekers look at ag sector Layoffs in oil and gas sector spark interest BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The search never ends for people to work in the agriculture industry. A career fair at the University of Lethbridge recently drew a wide array of companies seeking employee talent. Twenty-five percent of the 80 booths at the fair were related to agriculture, many of them national or multinational companies seeking summer students for seed, agronomy and sales projects in southern Alberta. However, full-time jobs were also available and university students were paying attention, as were those laid off in other sectors. Seona Noseworthy of Crop Protection Services said the downturn in Alberta’s oil and gas industry is generating more interest in agriculture jobs. “Their loss is our gain,” she said while speaking to visitors at the CPS booth. Joshua Spies, a field biologist with

Syngenta, said he has noticed the same thing. “I’ve definitely seen people looking for careers for sure, in the agriculture industry, going back to the farm and things like that,” he said. “Agriculture’s been picking up the past couple of years so there’s been a lot of interest in agriculture, as you can tell by the booths here.” Interest, yes, but finding people to fill all the jobs, especially those involving on-farm labour, remains a challenge. Statistics Canada’s job vacancy and wage survey shows the general farm worker category has one of the highest vacancy rates within agriculture, as well as compared to other occupations such as health, trades and natural resources. “The agricultural labour market is shrinking annually and we are always looking for great talent,” said Connie Harder of AgCall Human Resources, which specializes in finding candidates for agricultural jobs.

Cheryl Loewen, left, and Trudy Elgersma chat while awaiting visitors to the UFA booth Sept. 30 during the University of Lethbridge career fair. | BARB GLEN PHOTO “There’s an overwhelming demand for people who are either educated in agriculture, experienced in agriculture or come from family farms.” Harder said she is aware of problems finding workers for primary agriculture but has found much depends on the candidate’s willingness to move and the location of the job. “A lot of times, agriculture companies at the grassroots, like feedlots and on-farm people, it depends on where they are. Loca-

tion is huge. Often it is difficult to find somebody who wants to work in the middle of nowhere. People who farm kind of on the outskirts of major centres often have an easier time.” Representatives from Monsanto, CNH, Richardson, Bayer CropScience and Dupont Pioneer said they’ve had good luck recruiting summer workers, some of whom later end up in full-time positions. Jessica Siemens, a sales agronomist from Richardson, graduated from the U of L last year with a biol-

ogy degree and now has a full-time position with the company at its Stirling, Alta., location. “The local educational institutions such as the university here, as well as the college, have been good places for us to look,” said Nathan Koppert of Dupont Pioneer. “But there’s always the challenge, once you get an application, to make the right choice and to select the right candidate for a long-term role.” barb.glen@producer.com

Limagrain has cleared another hurdle en route to establishing a plant breeding program on the Prairies. The French seed company has acquired a minority ownership stake in Canterra Seeds, a Canadian seed distribution company whose shareholders include 175 pedigreed seed growers in Western Canada. Limagrain paid $7 million for what is believed to be a 30 percent stake in the Winnipeg company. The acquisition was one of the conditions that Limagrain agreed to meet before establishing Limagrain Cereals Research Canada (LCRC), a plant breeding program that will develop new cereal grain varieties for Canadian producers. Limagrain representatives Cecile Cozened, Patrick Spadin and Thomas Jolliffe have also been appointed to Canterra’s board of directors. “We’re already deep into our search for a senior breeder, which will be the first hire into the breeding program,said Erin Armstrong, LCRC’s chief executive officer. LCRC will function as a joint venture partnership involving Canterra and Limagrain and will share the costs of setting up the program. “The size and scope of this investment, in terms of people and resources, is substantial,” said Canterra chief

executive officer Dave Hansen. Canterra will become the exclusive distributor of LCRC varieties in Canada once the first varieties have been registered. The breeding program will focus initially on developing and registering new wheat varieties but will eventually expand into other cereal crops. A base for LCRC operations will be identified in the near future, Armstrong said. LCRC facilities, including labs, offices and field operations, are expected to be located in the Saskatoon area. “Definitely before the end of the year, we hope to be able to announce who the senior breeder will be,” Armstrong said. The breeding program is planned to start next spring. Canterra has been field testing Limagrain wheat lines in Western Canada for the past three years in hopes of to identifying genetic resources to serve as the basis for Limagrain’s newest made-in-Canada wheat varieties, expected to be available to commercial growers in five to 10 years. This summer, Canterra also signed an agreement with Agriculture Canada and the Alberta Wheat Commission. It will see Canterra and the wheat commission contribute cash and resources to Agriculture Canada’s Canada Prairie Spring Red wheat breeding program at Lethbridge. brian.cross@producer.com

TRADE POLICY

Russia pushes local production to replace imports Some analysts say the protectionist policies of favouring domestic producers and manufacturers hurt consumers MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia’s drive to promote domestic products at the expense of imports is creating new opportunities for business, but the benefits are expected to take years to show. Participants at the Reuters Russia Investment Summit differed sharply on whether the strategy was beneficial or an example of misguided protectionist thinking. “Import substitution” has become a central plank in Russia’s response to an economic crisis resulting from the plunge in international oil prices and western sanctions imposed because of the Ukraine crisis. The trend is partly driven by the sharp decline in the ruble, which makes imports more expensive and helps the competitiveness of locally made goods. It is also being actively promoted by the government, which has introduced a ban on most food imports from the West as part of its response to western sanctions. Moscow is also promoting import substitution in other areas, such as pharmaceuticals and electronics, favouring local producers through procurements and subsidies. President Vladimir Putin said recently that there were 2,500 import-substitution projects, and the government planned to spend $38 billion to support them. “For us, import substitution isn’t a fetish. It concerns the most important technologies,” Putin said. “One way or another we had to do it ... but now we will have to do it more quickly.” Deputy prime minister Arkady Dvorkovich said it was only a matter of time before the projects brought tangible benefits, although it was too soon to expect large-scale results. “Import substitution is absolutely real, but it is all investment projects. They have various stages,” he said. “We will see a result somewhere in a year, elsewhere in two years, elsewhere in three.” Dvorkovich said international sanctions are always negative, but there can be a positive side to them. “Sanctions force each country to think about internal sources (of development) and operate more energetically for using its own resources,” he said. Russia’s food ban is certainly having the desired effect of encouraging more investment in products that Russia typically imported. Electricity and farming tycoon Dmitry Arzhanov said he plans to invest heavily in apples and potatoes to fill gaps caused by the food embargo. “From the point of view of agriculture, we see only positive factors,” he said. Before the food embargo, Russia largely imported apples from Poland, where apples have now been dubbed “putinki” (little Putins) in an ironic swipe at the Russian leader. However, Arzhanov said cheap Polish apples would probably flood back to Russia if the embargo were lifted soon. Russia needed to keep import

restrictions in place long enough for domestic producers to invest and turn a profit, which often requires several years, he said. “I’m not for counter-sanctions or against them. I’m for consistency.

If they have been introduced, then they will need to remain for a certain time.” Arzhanov’s concerns illustrate the likelihood that import restrictions may ultimately prove hard to

remove because of the domestic lobbies that benefit from them. This was of concern to Pascal Lamy, a former head of the World Trade Organization. He said import substitution policies rarely bring long-term economic benefits because they contradict the principles of free trade. “It’s a tiny and shrinking part of the market of ideas,” he said of import substitution theories. “But blaming the foreigner has always been a fundamental trick of

domestic politics: it has worked for centuries.” He said import substitution policies may well work in terms of boosting domestic production, but they do so at the expense of consumers, who end up paying more, and erode overall economic performance by distorting the allocation of resources. “In most of the cases I have known, import substitution policies have failed,” said Lamy. “They degrade the efficiency of their economy.”

AG NOTES HAVE FEED TESTED This year, livestock producers may use more unusual feeds such as canola, straw and slough hay to feed their animals, partly due to the hay shortage. Producers should test feed to ensure proper nutrition is provided to animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing the quality of the forage being used this winter is going to be critical to make it through on a short feed supply,â&#x20AC;? says Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist at Alberta Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ag-Info Centre. With many canola crops containing large amounts of second growth and not expected to be combined, crops are taken for silage or green feed. These crops need to be tested for the

standard nutrients: protein; acid detergent fibre; neutral detergent fibre; calcium; phosphorous; magnesium; potassium, and, sodium. This is no different than for any other forage. Yaremcio cautions to keep a particular eye out for certain nutrients when testing as they could have a broader impact on overall animal health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Additionally, canola is known to have the potential to contain higher nitrate levels, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fertilized more than other crops, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to check them.â&#x20AC;? ALTA. WHEAT COMMISSION FUNDS RESEARCH Wheat research in Western Canada has received a $970,000

funding boost from the Alberta Wheat Commission. The money, to be made available over a five-year period, will fund 13 projects that focus on agronomic and genetic improvements to the crop, according to a commission news release. The research will be done at centres across the West. Chair Kent Erickson said research investment is a key priority for the commission because it leads to new and better varieties and helps maintain Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitive edge in wheat markets. Projects will include studies on plant growth regulators, fusarium head blight resistance, soft white spring wheat variety development, gluten strength, fighting rust infection and other aspects of genomics and agronomics relating

to wheat. Funding for six of the projects will come through the Agriculture Funding Consortium, which comprises 13 Alberta organizations, said the news release.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Former Viterra head to take Ontario utility public Mayo Schmidt, who helped turn around a struggling Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, will now oversee Hydro One’s move to a public company BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Former Viterra president Mayo Schmidt will earn a base salary of roughly $800,000 per year as the new chief executive officer of Hydro One, the Ontario crown utility company that is selling a portion of its equity in an initial public offering next month. However, his total compensation package could rise to more than $4 million a year if certain conditions are met, according to a preliminary

prospectus filed with securities regulators in mid-September. Hydro One announced in August that it had hired Schmidt, the former president and chief executive officer of Viterra, to oversee the crown utility’s transition to a publicly traded company. The Ontario government intends to raise approximately $9 billion by selling off a 60 percent stake in the company. Schmidt’s compensation package has ruffled feathers among some Ontario taxpayers.

If he meets all of his performance targets, Schmidt in his first year at Hydro One will earn more than three times as much as his predecessor, Carmine Marcello, who earned $1.2 million in 2014. Last month, Ontario energy minister Bob Chiarelli defended the compensation package, suggesting that performance targets must be met before Schmidt earns his maximum compensation. David Denison, chair of Hydro One’s board of directors, said Schmidt is the ideal person to lead

the company’s transition. “As the former CEO of Viterra and its predecessor Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, Mr. Schmidt has an admirable track record of leading large scale business transformation and growth while generating value for investors employees and customers alike,” Denison said in a corporate news release. Over the years, Schmidt has held a number of key management positions at General Mills Inc., before being named president of ConAgra Grain Canada.

In 2000, he was named CEO of the financially troubled Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. A few years later, he became Sask Pool president and went on to spearhead a $2 billion acquisition of Agricore United, a $2.2 billion acquisition of ABB — the former Australian Barley Board — and renamed the new corporate entity Viterra. In December 2012, he oversaw the sale of Viterra to Switzerland based mining and agriculture giant Glencore Plc. brian.cross@producer.com

ENDANGERED SPECIES

Sage grouse denied habitat protection COMMERCE CITY, Colorado (Reuters) — A long-simmering debate in the western United States over the fate of a ground-dwelling bird reached a climax in late September as president Barack Obama’s administration denied Endangered Species Act protections to the greater sage grouse in favour of less rigid habitat conservation measures. Interior secretary Sally Jewell said the need to list the bird as threatened or endangered was averted by the success of unprecedented collaboration among state and local governments, scientists, ranchers and other private interests over the last five years. Jewell credited those efforts with significantly reducing threats to the sage grouse across 90 percent of its breeding habitat, staving off any immediate risk of extinction. “This is the largest, most complex land conservation effort in the history of the United States,” he said. The plight of the grouse, which is a key indicator species for the vanishing sagebrush ecosystem of the American prairie, has pitted conservation groups against oil and gas drilling, wind farms and cattle grazing in one of the biggest industry-versus-nature controversies in decades. The greater sage grouse is considered endangered in Canada, where fewer than 140 birds are left in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Conservationists say the U.S. decision does not mean the bird is out of danger. The U.S. announcement marked a turnabout from a 2010 finding by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that endangered species protection for the grouse was warranted but that other species were a higher priority. The conservation strategy implemented since then offers an alternative for saving the grouse while allowing activities such as energy development, mining and ranching to co-exist with the chickensized prairie fowl, Jewell said. The greater sage grouse, known for its elaborate mating rituals, once numbered in the millions but now number 200,000 to 500,000.

BETTER RETURN ON INVESTMENT, LESS WORK NEXT SPRING:

THAT’S SMART NITROGEN. Smart. It’s right there in the name: ESN ® SMART NITROGEN®. And ESN delivers beneﬁts that really matter to farmers – like less time spent in the ﬁeld and better ROI – because it’s all kinds of smart. Here’s what we mean: WATER MOVES IN THROUGH THE COATING

N DISSOLVES INTO SOLUTION INSIDE THE GRANULE

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

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

Money smart. N MOVES THROUGH THE POLYMER INTO SOIL

Buy and apply ESN in the fall and forget about potentially volatile spring N pricing. That’s a load off your mind.

Thanksgiving In Saskatchewan

Core values are a small set of vital and timeless guiding principles for a company. They are what support the vision, shape the culture and reflect what the company truly values. They are the essence of a company’s identity.

Tim Hammond owns and operates Hammond Realty, an independent real estate brokerage that specializes in selling farmland and agri-business properties located in Saskatchewan.

The core values at Hammond Realty are:

I grew up on a farm southwest of Biggar, SK. Thanksgiving has always been one of the most important times of the year to me. The harvest is typically done and it truly is time to give thanks for the crop in the bin. Family and extended family gravitate back to the farm and that means time spent together baking, playing board games and cards, putting together puzzles, or just sitting around reminiscing. There are also the family projects that we’ll all tackle together, whether it’s moving the cattle back to the yard or building an entire new garage. Thanksgiving is being grateful and spending time with family. From everyone at Hammond Realty we hope the time together with your family this Thanksgiving is memorable.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Brazilian nut breakers seek protection from UN ESPERANTINA, Brazil (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Sitting on the bare floor of a thatched-roof hut, Maria de Fátima Ferreira holds a babaçu coconut firmly against the sharp edge of a hatchet and cracks it open with two quick blows using a piece of hardwood. In just a few seconds, the nut, about the size of a large lemon, is split into quarters to produce six slender kernels. Ferreira removes them and grabs another nut from a straw basket at a workers’ co-operative in Esperantina, a small town in the northeastern Brazilian state of Piauí. “The babaçu is such a big part of my life, I can probably break it with my eyes closed,” she said with a smile. An estimated 300,000 babaçu breakers like Ferreira, living in some of Brazil’s poorest states, make at least half their income by gathering the nuts that fall from the palm trees and using everything they have to offer. Oil is extracted from the kernel, the shell is used for charcoal and mesocarp, a nutritious starch-like pulp under the shell, is mixed in cakes and porridge. The leaves of the wild tree are used for roofing. Over generations, the coconut breakers, or “quebradeiras,” have endured many threats to their way

of life, including deforestation, the expansion of agriculture and pressure from large-scale mining operations. Many live in settlements founded by escaped slaves in the late 1800s. Others are descendants of native tribes that lived in the area before European settlers began arriving in the mid-1500s. Nearly all quebradeiras are women and only a minority have rights to the land where they harvest the nuts. Their vulnerability has been worsened by the lack of formal recognition for their activity, which is not considered economically important by the government. However, these tough, hard working women hope the United Nations’ new sustainable development goals will help their fight for a federal law to protect the palm tree and give them access to babaçu forests, regardless of who owns the land. Under one of the planned goals to achieve gender equality, governments will commit to reforms giving women equal rights to economic resources, as well as allowing them to own and control land and other forms of property and natural resources. “Anything on the international agenda that will push the (Brazil-

Women want the right to harvest the babaçu nut, which generates income for hundreds of thousands of families in northern Brazil. | WARONWANT.COM PHOTO ian) government and Congress to pass the Free Babaçu Law will help us advance our cause,” said Francisca da Silva Nascimento, coordinator of the Interstate Movement of Coconut Breakers, formed in 1991 to help women fight for their right to harvest the babaçu. The women also want to be recognized and protected under a new agricultural investment push led by the government in the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia. Much of that territory is where the babaçu trees grow across 46 million acres, partly in the Amazon Basin in northern Brazil.

In 1997, the coconut breakers’ movement persuaded legislators in one municipality in Maranhão to pass a law granting free access to any property to collect nuts. The law is now valid in 13 municipalities in three states, and the quebradeiras are lobbying for a national law to be passed. They hope that push will be supported by a new map that charts the challenges to the babaçu forests and their livelihood. It was presented to Congress in August. “This approach of not wanting rights to the land but rights to harvest the nuts, which are seen as a nuisance by farmers, is incredibly progressive,” said Aurélio Vianna, a program officer at the Ford Foundation, which supported the map project. “The quebradeiras carry out a truly sustainable activity that is a great example of what the world wants in a post-2015 development agenda,” he said. The nuts are harvested only in the wild, meaning there is no need to cut down forests for plantations. With a small investment by cooperatives, the entire nut can be used to generate income for hun-

dreds of thousands of families in northern Brazil, allowing them to stay in their rural homes rather than moving to cities in search of work. The babaçu production chain is a way to reduce poverty, end hunger, ensure healthy lives and manage forests sustainably, among other aims of the UN’s sustainable development goals, Vianna added. The quebradeiras have learned over the past two decades how to add value to babaçu products to increase their income. However, improvements have been uneven across different communities. In some areas, the quebradeiras have organized into co-operatives and bought equipment such as industrial ovens and oil extractors to make production more efficient. These groups are able to sell babaçu oil and mesocarp flour to the government school lunch program and foreign cosmetics companies. However, most quebradeiras in poorer and more isolated communities subsist by gathering nuts and selling the kernels because they lack the equipment or knowledge to do more, said agronomist Alvori Cristo dos Santos. There is no comprehensive government program to support the nut breakers, though some have benefited from initiatives backed by state governments, municipalities and charities. Brazil’s special secretariat for women’s policies recognizes the need to do more, “We believe the quebradeiras are a great example of sustainable activity and we support them in their fight for better living conditions, but unfortunately the resources we have are scarce in the face of all the challenges we are up against,” , said executive secretary Linda Goulart.

DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Benefits from sand dam trickle down to entire community Project in Kenyan village provides water for livestock and households, allowing children to stay in school LEMISHAMI, Kenya (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — It’s a busy market day in the Kenyan village of Lemishami, and Letilia Lekula herds his goats to a dry, sandy riverbed with a stone wall built across it. The animals wait patiently as he pulls a wooden trough from a nearby thicket and then starts digging in the sand. After about five minutes, Lekula hears a splash. The sound is now so familiar to his goats that they circle around him as he scoops water from the hole in the sand into a trough for them to drink. For the pastoralists of Lemishami in Ol Donyiro ward, which lies 115 kilometres from the town of Isiolo in Kenya’s arid eastern region, the sand dam is a lifesaver. Built across the Raap River, the simple wall catches water and silt that flows down from a nearby mountain range. As sand accumulates at the wall, it traps water and holds it through much of the dry season. Months after natural ponds and rivers have dried up, the sand dam remains a reliable source of water. Only a few years ago, villagers could rely on the year-round flow of the Ewaso Ng’iro River. However, the river has now all but disappeared between March and August as upriver communities use more water for farming. The area’s rainfall is too sporadic to keep the river topped up. “It’s been dry for the better part of the year,” Lekula said. “The rain is unpredictable. Nowadays, it’s both very heavy and only lasts a few days.” Lekula’s village received the sand dam as part of the Isiolo County Adaptation Fund (ICAF), a threeyear-old project funded by the British international development department through the Londonbased International Institute for Environment and Development. The fund worked with communities in Ol Donyiro, which is classified as a water-stressed region, to understand the challenges they face. The communities proposed sand dams as a solution to their water shortage problems, and the fund constructed and rehabilitated a d oz e n s a n d d a m s a c ro s s t h e parched county at a cost of $50,000. The sand dam in Lemishami is so effective that the pastoralists no longer feel the need to move their households, or manyattas, every year in search of water. Children can stay in school and women don’t have to walk 30 kilometres to find water for their families. The sand dam doesn’t provide enough water for all of the community’s cows, which have been moved to more remote grazing fields, but the villagers can keep a few goats at home for milk and meat. “Now the manyattas and schools are settled,” said Lekula. “We have enough water for our households, school and goats and have enough time after watering our animals to buy food from the market.” Ol Donyiro has no substantial groundwater and receives only 300 to 350 millimetres of rain a year, said Junius Njeru, an engineer with

the water ministry in Isiolo County. However, the ward also has some fortunate geography because it is the endpoint for flood water coming from the rainy Nyandarua Mountains. Every time it rains on the mountains, the overflow brings water and silt down to the area’s dry riverbeds. Njeru said the flood water would normally disappear quickly once it reached Ol Donyiro, but now the sand dams that sit across some of the area’s riverbeds catch the water during the rainy season and hold

onto it through the dry season. The 1.5 metre high and one metre wide Lemishami sand dam holds 50,000 cubic metres of water, which

experts say should sustain five villages for three months. “Storing water together with the sand reduces the rate of the evaporation, enabling the water to last longer than it would have in an open area,” Njeru said. The sand also helps clean the water when it reaches the dam. “Sand acts like activated carbon in a normal water supply,” Njeru said. “The water comes down as muddy, but it’s filtered as it passes through the sand.” Lekula is grateful that the sand

dam has brought reliable water to his community, its livestock and the area’s wildlife. However, he remembers struggling to find water and fears that even the sand dam will run dry if it does not rain soon. Njeru said the pastoralist shouldn’t worry because the dam relies on rain from the wet mountains rather than the dry area around Lemishami village. “As long as the rainwater is flowing into the rivers from upstream, the sand dams will always have water,” he said.

Spreader applies four products at once John Deere’s self-propelled 425 horsepower fertilizer applicator is expected to be released next year BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WATERLOO, Iowa — John Deere has turned its attention to self-propelled fertilizer applicators. “Larger farmers like the bigger capacity of these machines, and there are more options when it comes to multiple products,” said Jason Beuligman of Deere’s Des Moines Works facility. “For those doing custom application, (a purpose-built applicator) can make better use of their assets.” Deere plans to enter that market with its own self-propelled applicator in the coming year. In the past, producers wanting a green fertilizer applicator were limited to ordering an optional New Leader fertilizer box, either 200 or 300 cubic feet, for Deere’s largest sprayer platform, the 4045. Smaller 4038 and 4030 models can accept the smaller unit. Beuligman said for many users, the four or five hours it takes to convert their sprayer to or from a fertilizer applicator is a time and labour issue. “ Fa r m e r s o f t e n w a n t b o t h machines in the same week, so conversion isn’t always a practical option,” he said. Some dealers have found a new life for higher-hour used sprayers by adding dry boxes to those machines, but specialized tools can offer greater productivity, he said.

JASON BEULIGMAN JOHN DEERE

“But nothing gets you over the acres quicker than a (floater),” he said. The company showed its fertilizer applicator prototype to its dealers at a recent machinery launch. It can’t call it a floater, which is a branded name for Case IH’s Titan applicators, but the term so well describes what the machines do that has become a generic name for these types of field tools. The larger version of the sprayerconversion boxes from New Leader have a pair of delivery belts, so variable rate of two products is possible. The smaller is a single product design. The new Deere machine can spread up to four products 105 feet using the New Leader G4 spinner. The prototype appears to have incorporated its 30-inch, No. 5 belt over chain, rather than a straight belt or linked chain feeder. The big, two-wheel drive unit makes use of the original equip-

ment manufacturer relationship with New Leader with that company’s 330 cubic foot box. In single product setups, the tank holds about 360 cubic feet of material when not carrying the New Leader Multibin insert. The Deere spinner spreader can variably apply up to four products: two major products, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and two micronutrients, or lowerrate materials. A 425 horsepower Deere Powertech PSX 9 litre engine powers an infinitely variable transmission and heavy-duty rear axle. Air suspension and a suspended cab smooth out field speeds of up to 25 m.p.h. “There is enough power to haul the machine over hills without running out of power, and the IFT will allow operators to slow up for those five and 10 m.p.h. turns in the headlands and then right back up to speed,” he said. The spreader unit is the first application tool to receive the company’s generation four Command Centre display, which is found in its biggest tractors and combines. A specialized control arm and modified, premium version of the sprayer cab round out the package. Deere said the machines are still in the testing phase, but it expects them to be released next year. michael.raine@producer.com

GRAIN STORAGE

Green kernels in bin present moisture, spoilage threat Even though large bins are equipped with temperature probes, growers should collect numerous samples regularly SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Tough grain and harvested cereal crops that contain an unusually high number of green kernels have the potential to cause costly headaches for prairie growers this year. However, proper monitoring and management during storage can help farmers safely bin cereal crops that come off in less-than-perfect condition. Cereal crops got off to a bad start this year across much of Saskatchewan and Alberta. Mitchell Japp, provincial cereal crops specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said poor moisture conditions early in the season hampered germination and produced thin plant stands in some regions. Significant rain in late July produced a second flush of late germinating plants that resulted in fields with multiple growth stages and uneven plant maturity. “Green kernels are going to be common in areas that had uneven emergence this year,” Japp said. Japp said it’s hard to determine how much of this year’s cereal grain crop will contain immature kernels. However, he said many growers are facing unique harvest and grain storage challenges. John Ippolito, a regional crop specialist in Kindersley, Sask., said the presence of green or immature kernels in harvested grain doesn’t necessarily mean growers will encounter storage problems. However, it does mean they should use extra care when monitoring, sampling and conditioning grain. “With immature kernels, the assumption is that those kernels will give up some of their moisture in the bin to the drier kernels around them,” Ippolito said. “They’ll lose some moisture and the (kernels) … adjacent to them will actually take on some of that moisture, so unless there’s huge amounts (of green) in the bin, it really is not detrimental to the safe storage of the grain.” Ippolito said the key to managing cereals with immature kernels is to sample accurately, test for moisture, monitor binned grain closely and keep grain cool using aeration. “Bins with immature grain are … the ones where we would encourage guys to do more monitoring, run aeration and … pay close attention to the relation between higher moisture content and grain temperatures.” Ippolito encouraged growers to reduce the temperature of the entire binned grain mass at the earliest opportunity. Ideally, aeration can be used during harvest to reduce the temperature of binned grain to 5 C or 10 C. Testing for moisture can also be a challenge on uneven samples. Green kernels can often contain 30 percent or more moisture, so it is critical that growers take accurate representative samples. Moisture test results are likely to be skewed unless a true representative sample is taken, which could

result in a costly mistake. Anecdotal reports suggest that moisture testers are less accurate when green kernels are present in a sample, but Ippolito said he hasn’t seen research to support those claims. Large bins that hold tens of thousands of bushels can also present unique challenges, he added. Some of these large bins are equipped with built-in moisture and temperature probes, which allow growers to monitor grain conditions quickly and easily from

outside the bin. However, those that don’t should be probed manually. Regardless of bin size, growers should always probe suspect grain frequently and thoroughly so that hot spots can be located and managed before spoilage occurs. “With the volume of grain that is in those bins, the centre of the bin often doesn’t get monitored properly or doesn’t get cooled off at the same rate as the outside does.” Daryl Beswitherick, manager of quality assurance standards at the

Canadian Grain Commission, said growers should take extra care this year when sampling. Ideally, every load should be sampled thoroughly as it is being binned. Growers should use a dedicated sampling device or sampling ladle when drawing grain. A ladle with reasonable holding capacity should be used to collect numerous sub-samples at regular and consistent intervals during the unload. Each sub-sample should then be transferred into a larger holding

container, such as a five gallon pail. The entire contents of the pail should be mixed thoroughly once the entire load has been binned. This procedure should be repeated for every load that is binned. Growers can also prepare a composite sample that represents the entire contents of the bin. For more information on how to do this, visit bit.ly/1L9adm4 or the grain commission website at www. grainscanada.gc.ca. brian.cross@producer.com

CANOLA STORAGE

Monitor heat, moisture to curb canola spoilage Canola can be harvested dry and relatively cool but once it’s in the bin, microbial activity continues and creates moisture BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canola can be tough crop to store. “Just because it’s in the bin doesn’t mean you can stop managing it,” said Joy Agnew, who researches canola storage for PAMI. The key to storing canola is to constantly monitor its temperature and condition and understand what the crop needs to stay sound in the bin. Canola is considered dry at 10

percent moisture content, but lower moisture content is recommended to help reduce spoilage. Most producers are targeting eight to nine percent moisture content before the crop goes in the bin. High temperature grain can also cause spoilage. It is often a combination of the two factors that cause the problem. Even dry canola needs to be kept below 15 C to be safe. Temperature and moisture content can be managed by blowing air

through the grain, but Agnew said there are misconceptions about this practice. One is that aeration is the same thing as natural air drying. Agnew said they are two different things. Aeration cools or conditions the grain, typically by using a low airflow rate of .1 to .2 cubic feet per minute per bushel. “The physics behind cooling or conditioning of the grain is straight forward,” she said. “If the outside air is cooler than

the grain and you blow that air through the grain, then the grain is going to cool.” Agnew said operating continuously for eight days at .1 cubic feet per minute per bushel is a good rule of thumb when calculating the length of time needed to run the fans to achieve cool air conditioning and equalize the temperature of the grain in the bin. Natural air drying doesn’t just equalize temperature but also removes moisture from the grain.

Doing nothing is no longer an option

Manage Group 1 and 2 resistant wild oats with Avadex® or Fortress® Denial is not a herbicide resistance management strategy. With increasing spread of Group 1 and 2 resistant wild oats, now is the time to add Group 8 Avadex and Fortress to your program and get a pre-emergent yield advantage. Avadex and Fortress herbicides work very well in min-till. Fall applications of these two herbicides will dramatically reduce early spring wild oat competition, allowing your crops to reach their full yield potential.

The airflow rates to achieve natural air drying are 10 times higher than for aeration. “You are targeting one to two cubic feet per minute per bushel to actually remove moisture from the grain,” she said. The air is able to dry when the air equilibrium moisture content is close to the target grain moisture content. Unlike aeration, there is no easy rule of thumb to follow when determining how long to run the fans because it depends on outside conditions such as temperature and relative humidity. “The general recommendation for both aeration and drying is turn the fans on and let them run continuously until you’re satisfied with the temperature or moisture content,” Agnew said. Fan control systems and strategies are available that may help producers run their fans and increase efficiency for aeration and natural air drying. For example, producers may not want to run their fans when high moisture content is in the air. Weather Innovations Consulting provides a forecast for equilibrium moisture content in the air called BINcast. The online model provides fiveday, site-specific forecasts of optimal times for operating fans by predicting equilibrium moisture content. Canola seeds are small, so the space between the seeds is tight when packed together in the bin. This makes it difficult to achieve a high airflow rate through the grain, and larger fans are required to dry canola than what is necessary for crops such as wheat. Canola seeds are still alive for up to six weeks after harvest. “So canola can be harvested dry and relatively cool, put in the bin and you think it’s safe and three weeks later it’s heating because there is still microbial activity going on generating its own moisture,” she said. Green seed often enters the bin the way it comes off a field, in localized pockets. These can result in hot spots in the bin that promote spoilage. All canola should ideally go into an aeration bin so that producers can blow air through the crop and control hot spots. “Canola with dockage or green seeds must go into an aeration bin, because that is really the only way to control hot spots,” Agnew said. “Canola with dockage and green seeds can almost be guaranteed to form hot spots sometime during storage.” Producers who don’t have access to aeration bins must check on their canola often and be ready to turn the grain to even out the moisture. Long-term storage requires that temperatures below 15 C are maintained well into the following season. Producers can cool their canola by running fans in the winter, but CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE care needs to be taken because any cooling action in the bin is going to dry the grain. The cooling should be done in stages rather than leaving the fans on and cooling the grain all at once. “Target about a 10 C drop each time the temperature changes so that you can cool a little bit further,” she said. Agnew’s research has shown that the grain should be left alone once it is cool. “Don’t turn it, don’t aerate it, just leave it,” she said. “This was a direct result from our study last summer where we had a bin that was turned, a bin that was aerated and a bin that was left alone. They all started off at about - 20 C, and the bin that was left alone was the most stable throughout the entire year.” Bin sensing technology is useful, but producers should be careful how much they trust their bin sensors because they will give only the average temperature in the bin and won’t pick up hot spots. Canola has high insulating capacity, and a sensor may not pick up a hot spot even if they are close to each other. “A sensor is monitoring about a bushel or two around it. Until that hot spot grows and affects that one or two bu. around the sensor, you have no idea, ” Agnew said.

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

While aerations bins work best for canola, they may not be available. Farmers forced to use conventional bins should monitor grain frequently and move it to break up hot spots. | FILE PHOTO “Cables for monitoring temperature are great, you just have to understand the limitations. In a 2,500 bushel bin with four sensors, it represents about two percent of grain in that bin.” Producers who want to watch for hot spots should track the temperature trend over several hours or days

rather than just looking at the absolute temperature value one or two times a week. A slight increase over a couple days may indicate a hot spot that is near one of the sensors. For more information, visit www. pami.ca robin.booker@producer.com

DECATUR, Ill. — Michelin has developed an app to help farmers get their tire inflation right. There’s more to tire inflation than going to four corners of a machine with a tire gauge and hose in hand, especially when trying to reduce soil compaction. Producers must first consider whether their tires are designed to run at lower pressures. The question is even more complicated for tractors with a threepoint hitch or pulling a trailer than for an articulated four-wheel drive because of odd tool and drawbar loading. That’s what Michelin’s app is for. The tire gauge might tell farmers what their pressure is and whether they are balanced left and right. Beyond that, what does the book say? Often it only speaks to basic tire options, and generally not the ones with which the tractor was shipped. Farmers who use Michelin’s app will still need the owner’s manual to get a few facts about their tractor and implement, such as axle loading front and back, required weight and the models and sizes of the Michelin tires being used. The app, which is available for

Apple and Android devices, is then used to photograph the tractor in profile. The software uses the image to decide how much weight is being distributed to each axle, and the length of the overhang is electronically measured from the axles. From this, it determines the ideal pressure in each tire based on a projected speed of operation. The app retains the tractor information, so the producer doesn’t need to re-enter the data with each implement if there are multiple tools, such as a three-point ripper, a manure tank and a grain cart. Producers with larger tractors will still need to turn to the book. The app is free and available on Google and Apple online stores. michael.raine@producer.com

GENETIC MODIFICATION

GLYPHOSATE DANGERS

GMOs expected to increase in EU

Suit claims Roundup caused health issues

Despite opposition from many countries in the bloc, many anticipate GM crop acres will grow PARIS, France (Reuters) — The large number of European countries opposing cultivation of genetically modified organisms may have given the impression the bloc is putting a brake on GMOs but w i t h n e w c ro p s q u e u i n g f o r approval and key countries leaving the door open, output is more likely to grow than wane. Nineteen out of 28 EU member states have requested opt-outs for all or part of their territory from c u l t i v a t i o n o f M o n s a n t o ’s MON810, the sole GM crop already approved for cultivation, or for pending applications. They were using a law signed in March giving countries opposed to the technology the right to seek exclusion from any approval request for GM crop cultivation even if strains have been approved at EU level. Although widely grown in the Americas and Asia, public opposition is strong in Europe against GMO crops. France, among the most vocal opponents to the technology and the bloc’s largest grain grower, has banned Monsanto’s MON810 corn since 2008, citing “serious doubts” it was safe for the environment. It was among the first countries to use the opt-out scheme to ensure its ban remained in place, followed by other large corn growers such as Italy, Hungary and Germany. Monsanto, which says its corn is harmless to humans and wildlife, asked that its 10-year clearance be renewed and seven new corn strains developed by DuPont Pioneer, Dow Chemical and Syngenta are in the approval process. Although it remains unclear how long it could take for new GM seeds to be available in countries that did not block them, farmers and feed producers have little doubt output will grow. “Romanian grain farmers will gladly embrace the genetically modified maize crops,” said Laurentiu Baciu, president of the LAPAR league of Romanian farmers, which unites about 60 percent of the Black Sea country’s acreage. “It’s common sense that any maize farmer, be it in Spain or in Portugal or in Romania, would like to reduce production costs and eventually reap a bigger harvest,” he said, estimating that GM corn strains under approval would boost yields by at least 15-20 percent. Portugal and Spain have cultivated MON810 for years with 320,000 acres in Spain last year, farm ministry data shows. In Romania, the second-largest maize producer after France, the area sown with GMOs has decreased in recent years but Baciu expects output to pick up. Environment campaigners have decried the EU approval system for

new GM crops and called for it to be reformed. Despite public hostility to genetically modified foods, Europe is one of the world’s major buyers of biotech grain. There are nearly 60 GM crops approved for use in the EU, mainly for animal feed. “These new strains will certainly find an outlet in sectors that don’t ban GMOs, especially in animal feed,” Stephane Radet, director of French animal feed maker group SNIA, noting that when grown legally GMOs could travel freely within Europe.

Reuters — A U.S. farm worker and a horticultural assistant have filed lawsuits claiming Roundup caused their cancers and that Monsanto intentionally misled the public and regulators about the dangers of the herbicide. The lawsuits come six months after the World Health Organization’s cancer research unit said it was classifying glyphosate, the active weed-killing ingredient in Roundup, as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” One suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles Sept. 22, names as plaintiff 58-year-old Enrique Rubio, a former vegetable farm worker in California, Texas and Oregon whose duties included spraying fields with Roundup and other pesticides. The lawsuit said Rubio was diagnosed with bone cancer in 1995. A separate lawsuit making similar claims was filed the same day in federal court in New York by Judi

Fitzgerald, 64, who claims she was exposed in the 1990s to Roundup when she worked at a horticultural products company. Fitzgerald was diagnosed with leukemia in 2012. Robin Greenwald, one of the attorneys who brought Rubio’s case, said she expects more lawsuits to follow because Roundup is the most widely used herbicide in the world and the WHO cancer classification gives credence to long-held concerns about the chemical. “I believe there will be hundreds of lawsuits brought over time,” said Greenwald. Monsanto spokesperson Charla Lord said that the claims are without merit and that glyphosate is safe for humans when used as labelled. “Decades of experience within agriculture and regulatory reviews using the most extensive worldwide human health databases ever

compiled on an agricultural product contradict the claims in the suit, which will be vigorously defended.” The lawsuits claim Roundup was a “defective” product and “unreasonably dangerous” to consumers, and that Monsanto knew or should have known that glyphosate could cause cancer and other illnesses and injuries and failed to properly warn users of the risks. The lawsuits claim the Environmental Protection Agency changed an initial classification for glyphosate from “possibly carcinogenic to humans” to “evidence of non-carcinogenicity in humans” after pressure from Monsanto. WHO scientists cited several studies showing cancer links to glyphosate, though Monsanto has said the findings are wrong. Postings on legal websites show that product liability lawyers have been seeking out plaintiffs for potential class-action lawsuits over glyphosate since the WHO action.

ANIMAL TRANSPORT

Assessing cattle begins at loading Weather conditions, distance to slaughter plants and type of livestock are all factors in safe animal transport BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO — More research is needed to figure out why animals get hurt or die during transport. Preparation starts at the farm and continues until the animals are unloaded at the slaughter plant, where auditors including Jennifer Woods watch to see if animals walk off the trailer in good shape. “Transportation cannot be fairly assessed at unloading unless it was assessed at loading,” said Woods. “The plant takes the hit on a transport audit when the problem probably happened back at loading. There is no accountability at that end.” She counts mishaps and also looks and listens to the animals. If they are vocalizing or leave the trailer in a sweat, she knows something went wrong. “The animals will tell you more about their welfare than anything else,” Woods said at the Canadian Meat Council symposium on animal health and welfare held in Toronto Oct. 1-2. She has been a certified auditor since 2007 and has worked with the American Meat Institute, which developed a livestock transportation audit for animals arriving at members’ plants. She also trains livestock transporters. When Woods trains, she asks the following: • Will an animal be able to walk off the trailer? • Would you eat it? • Would you like to see it on YouTube as a product of your farm? If anyone says no to any of these questions, the animal should not go anywhere. Canada has federal regulations that cover stocking density, length of travel and protection of animals. Codes of practice for humane handling also address transportation and a new transport code is in development. A Canadian livestock transporters course is available and about 2,000 people have been certified. They are taught proper handling techniques, emergency management as well as federal and provincial legislation. However, things can go wrong. Canada is in a unique position because of inclement weather, long distances, density and hard decisions about whether an animal is fit to travel. “They can also be the most challenging areas to audit because none of those are black and white. There is a lot of grey,” Woods said.

EACH YEAR, ANIMALS ARRIVING DEAD OR THOSE THAT MUST BE EUTHANIZED AT THE PLANT COST THE NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY

Transportation cannot be fairly assessed at unloading unless it was assessed at loading. JENNIFER WOODS AUDITOR

For example, bedding in trailers is provided for pigs, dairy cattle, sheep and veal calves. They tend to lie down and are the most vulnerable during transport and weather. If the bedding does not provide enough protection, some may suffer from cold stress, frostbite or death. Too much protection can cause wetness, fatigue or heat stress. In Canada, incompatible livestock must be segregated. Different species, sizes or those incompatible by nature should not be placed together.

Horned and polled cattle cannot travel together unless they have been socialized together. Bulls should not be mixed unless they have been raised together. Boars should be kept apart because they will fight. Horses can be tied up and that is considered segregation. Horses that are shod on their back feet have to be segregated from others. This applies to all horses, not just meat animals. Density must also be monitored. If animals are crowded, they can become stressed, get trampled or die in transit. Acceptable distance Travel distance in Canada is contentious. The allowable transportation time is based on how long animals can be off feed and water. Pigs and horses can travel for 36 hours while cattle can go for 48 hours unless the trip can be completed in 52 hours.

$131 million

Compromised animals should not be transported more than four hours, and then only locally for treatment or humane slaughter. Unfit animals, those with wounds, broken bones, bloat or advanced pneumonia, for example, cannot be shipped. There are more in-transit deaths among poultry than pigs and cattle and more deaths among dairy cows than fat cattle. However, death losses are not high, said Luigi Faucitano, a meat scientist with Agriculture Canada. He and other researchers are studying transportation problems that affect animal welfare and reduce meat quality. Pig losses during transport in North America are estimated at one percent in the United States and 0.7 percent in Canada. Animals arriving dead or those that must be euthanized at the plants cost the North American industry $131 million per year, Faucitano said.

A University of Guelph study estimated 32 percent of pig losses were due to transport conditions and 25 percent related to events on the farm. Researchers have looked at common livestock trailers and assessed environmental conditions like temperature, noise, vibrations and toxins as well as the effects of poor handling and mixing with unfamiliar animals. They found that pig welfare is reduced in three-deck trailers. The animals are unfamiliar with ramps so there is more use of electric prods by handlers. Modification of the ramp slope to reduce physical stress and ease handling was investigated and seemed to help. Flat deck trailer evaluation showed pigs were less stressed, less tired and had a lower body temperature when they arrived at the plant. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

WORLD CLYDESDALE SHOW WINNER

Ovation gets show’s top billing BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH

Western College of Veterinary Medicine

CALGARY BUREAU

LONDON, Ont. — Anderson’s Ovation may have been the prettiest horse at the World Clydesdale Show. A panel of judges cer tainly thought so and named the twoyear-old filly supreme champion of the show, which was held in London Sept. 29-Oct. 3. The filly was owned by David Anderson of St. Thomas, Ont., and the win was a jewel in his crown. Anderson, a lifelong horseman, added Clydesdales to his business a few years ago when he had an opportunity to buy premier bloodlines during a dispersal. He bought Ovation’s mother, Elegant Encore, who was pregnant at the time. Ovation was named world champion mare at the show, and the grand finale put the youngster up against a gelding and a stallion. “We are hoping for a little girl power today,” Anderson said before the show.

His father, Bob Anderson, started the farm a half hour from London 45 years ago. The draft horses live in Iowa, where Ovation was born. Four hours after birth, farm owner Robert Detweiller was on the phone to Anderson, full of praise, saying the youngster might be the best animal ever born on his farm. “He was right. She has never been beaten. She is a wonderful horse,”

Detweiller, who spent 11 years with the Budweiser Clydesdale team and now has his own farm in Iowa, said this particular horse stands out because of excellent body structure, intelligence and quiet disposition. “Her overall conformation from the time she was born was excellent,” Detweiller said. It stands 17.3 hands at aged two and will probably reach 18.1. “She’s young, two years old, and she is going to have another two to four years of showing, but eventually she will go into our breeding program,” Detweiller said. “If she never wins another class after this, it will be OK.” A win like this is nothing but good news, said Anderson. “It is a great marketing tool selling

your foals,” he said. He also breeds Percherons, and his grand champion mare was named supreme overall among 800 entries during the world congress held last year in Massachusetts. That horse also won the national title three times as well as the world show and was named best of show. “No one has ever done that before,” he said. The horse market can be volatile, but there is money to be made. “There’s always money to buy the top quality animal, as long as you stick with quality and don’t get side tracked,” he said. “I have ridden my whole life. I have bred, foaled, showed, driven and ridden. I have done it all.” SEE MORE RESULTS FROM THE SHOW IN OUR OCT. 15 ISSUE.

A bird’s eye view of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine after its eight-year “growth spurt.” Photo: Debra Marshall.

The sights and sounds of construction became a way of life for students, faculty and staff as the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) underwent an eight-year “growth spurt” that lasted from 2004 to 2012. The multi-phase project cost about $77 million with the bulk of the funding coming from the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan. The University of Saskatchewan and private donors also provided financial support for this historic endeavour. The infrastructure project included the construction of a new two-storey research wing, an expanded veterinary medical centre and a new diagnostics addition. As well, construction crews enhanced existing clinical, teaching and research areas by renovating more than a third of the original veterinary college. One phase of the WCVM’s infrastructure project—the completion of a veterinary diagnostics laboratory complex— brought together nearly all of the college’s diagnostics services. These lab resources were fully integrated with the WCVM’s new two-storey diagnostics addition that was completed in 2009. As construction wound down in 2011, the WCVM began a $2.8-million expansion to its equine performance centre that added nearly 1,000 square metres to the existing building. Heather Ryan and her husband, L. David Dubé, contributed $1.2 million toward the expansion, while the remaining funding was provided by the Government of Saskatchewan, Marg and Ron Southern of Calgary, Alta., and the WCVM. When crews completed construction on the Ryan/Dubé Equine Performance Centre in 2013, the WCVM switched gears. To help improve its students’ learning and working environment, the college upgraded its student locker rooms, completed a major makeover of its main eating area and renovated several of its lecture theatres to accommodate larger classes and electronic media. The WCVM’s library now has a 24/7 student learning commons with separate rooms for small meetings and exams, and later this fall, a new clinical skills lab is set to open in the veterinary college. After more than a decade of expansion and renovation projects, the WCVM now has modern facilities that are equipped with the latest technologies for clinical services, education and research. As Western Canada’s regional veterinary college begins its next half-century, it’s well prepared for the future. Visit www.usask.ca/wcvm/fifty-years

DIRECT MARKETING

Customer interaction key to ranch’s success Feedback from consumers at farmers markets and from restaurant chefs help producers improve product BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

CALGARY — Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranch has one huge advantage over many other farm and ranch operations, says its general manager, Dr. Terry Church. It gets direct feedback, on a regu-

lar basis, from those who use and eat its bison, elk and beef products. The ranch is owned by the O’Connor family of Calgary, which is also involved in three mountain resorts and two high-end city restaurants. The ranch supplies those venues with bison, elk and beef, and the

chefs provide quick feedback on quality. In addition, the ranch sells its meat at farmers markets, where customers can ask questions about the product and at subsequent markets talk about their level of satisfaction with what they bought. “A lot of my attitudes now about agriculture, food and so on, I actually had to shift,” Church told a group of Canadian farm writers on a recent tour of the ranch. With a background in commodity agriculture, including meat processing, feedlots, veterinary and academia, Church found the faceto-face interaction with consumers

valuable perspective to get that feedback. It really gives you a unique perspective of what the consumers are thinking.” As an example of how that differs, Church said when ranchers think about food safety, they tend to consider how livestock can be protected from disease and how the resulting product is free from bacterial contamination. Consumers, on the other hand, tend to focus on issues such as added hormones, antibiotic use and genetic modification in food. “That’s what I think consumers think of when they think about safe food.… We have quite a wide gulf.” His experience is in line with recent research by University of Lethbridge sociology professor William Ramp, who studied a small sample of producers and found those in direct contact with consumers were more optimistic that the rural-urban divide can be bridged. “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,” said Ramp in a recent interview. “I really think those faceto-face relationships work.” Church said he tries to bridge the gulf at farmers markets and at the ranch’s retail store, which has also allowed better marketing of livestock. The resorts and restaurants tend to focus on higher end cuts of meat, so in the early stages of the operation, only about one-third of the yield from each animal was used there. The retail store allows the ranch to sell more ground meat, sausage, jerky and lesser-known cuts. “That has brought us into balance with the animals that we market. We market somewhere around 70, 80 buffalo a year and 60 to 70 elk, and lately a few cattle.” Bison makes up 60 percent of meat sales, with elk meat sales at 30 percent and beef at 10 percent. Church said the ranch has put less emphasis on beef because there are many competitors in that field and it is difficult to differentiate product enough to gain much market share. barb.glen@producer.com

RESEARCH RESULTS

Jury still out on benefits of NSAIDs for respiratory disease ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

ovine respiratory disease continues to be one of the most important production diseases in the cattle industry. Most cases occur in recently weaned calves shortly after arrival in the feedlot. Preventive strategies for respiratory disease include vaccination programs, preconditioning programs and reducing the stress of weaning, mixing and transportation. Metaphylactic antibiotics may be used in high risk situations. However, there are still cases of respiratory disease in feedlot calves that must be treated. Feedlot veterinarians will design treatment protocols for these cases, and the standard therapy will be an injectable antimicrobial to treat bacteria such as Mannheimia hemolytica, which are part of the lung infection. However, many veterinarians will often recommend additional treat-

ments or ancillary therapy. A 2011 survey found that almost half of all feedlot veterinarians in the United States recommended some form of ancillary therapy for the treatment of respiratory disease, including drugs such as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like flunixin, that also help reduce fever. Other common forms of ancillary therapy might include antihistamines, corticosteroids, injectable vitamins, direct-fed microbials and additional vaccinations. However, there is little published evidence to show whether these additional therapies are effective. A recent research paper in the Journal of Animal Science examined this question in some detail. Researchers from Oklahoma State University designed a clinical trial to evaluate whether feedlot calves with respiratory disease received any benefit from additional therapeutic products along with their antimicrobial therapy. High risk calves that had been bought from multiple auction markets were brought into Oklahoma State University’s Beef Research Center and vaccinated with viral and clostridial vaccines. As well, pen riders gave the calves a respiratory disease score as they were pulled for treatment as well as

an injectable long-acting antimicrobial treatment (Zactran) as their primary antimicrobial treatment once they were identified as sick. The calves were assigned to one of four treatment groups and given antimicrobial therapy. Each calf treated for respiratory disease received one of the following ancillary therapies: flunixin (an NSAID), a vitamin C injection or an intranasal viral vaccination. Another group of calves received only the antimicrobial therapy and received no ancillary treatment. The sick calves were then placed in specific research pens allocated to their treatment group so that feed intake data could be calculated for each treatment group. The calves in this research study were classified as high risk and did not receive the benefit of metaphylactic antibiotics upon arrival to the feedlot. As a result, there was a high treatment rate of 66.5 percent and a high mortality rate attributed to respiratory disease (13.2 percent) in this group of calves. Researchers followed the sick cattle until slaughter and evaluated the risk of relapse treatments and mortality and evaluated lung scores and carcass characteristics. None of the ancillary therapies improved any of the outcomes in these calves when compared to the

calves that received only the antimicrobial. There did not appear to be any benefit of including these ancillary therapies when using the outcomes used in this trial. It should be noted that an NSAID such as flunixin was the most commonly used of the three ancillary therapies. Other research suggests that there is a significant and more rapid decrease in rectal temperature in calves treated with NSAIDs compared to calves that aren’t. However, this response is short lived, and few studies have been able to show a benefit of NSAIDs in terms of mortality or performance. The results have not been consistent across all studies, but some studies have shown that NSAIDs may improve clinical signs, and in some cases there may be some decrease in lung lesions at slaugh-

ter when NSAIDs are used. The jury is probably still out on the usefulness of ancillary therapy when treating calves with respiratory disease. This latest study could not show any significant benefits of some common ancillary treatments beyond the benefit of utilizing an antimicrobial. We are aware that NSAIDs may reduce fever more rapidly, which may improve the calf ’s recovery, but these results have not shown long-term benefits to date in terms of mortality or performance. It would be best to prevent cases of respiratory disease from occurring, but effective therapy is necessary when they do inevitably occur.

GRAIN TRADERS “A drink I took of the magic mead Then began I to know and to be wise, To grow and to weave poems.” — Odin, from the Norse saga Runahal, 1200AD BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Art and Cherie Andrews are wise about mead, about bees and about how to produce honey and honey products. If they weave poems, they kept that information to themselves on a recent tour of Chinook Honey Co. and Chinook Arch Meadery near Okotoks, Alta. Art is a believer that everything old is new again. Mead, also referred to as honey wine, is widely considered to be the ancestor of all fermented drinks and dates back at least 7,000 years. Art predicts a resurgence in mead production and consumption. He and Cherie opened the first meadery in Alberta in 2008, and two others have opened in the province since then. “It’s the biggest up-and-coming drink in America right now, across the border, and what happens down there is going to happen here next,” Art told a group of Canadian farm writers in late September. “I was the first one to stick my head in and start playing with this stuff. It sounds simple, doesn’t it? Honey, water, yeast, that’s all it is.”

It turned out to be a bit more complicated. He made 49 bad batches before he hit upon the right technique. Now Chinook Arch Meadery makes 13 varieties of mead, which it sells from its on-farm shop and in Alberta liquor outlets and wine stores. The Andrews make 20,000 litres of mead a year using honey from 200 hives. “The mead operation has certainly been a winner,” said Cherie. “I don’t think that there was any doubt. With alcohol, there’s bound to be a profit.” Chinook Honey Co. began as an apiary, which was a stress-reducing hobby for the couple, each of who had high-stress jobs in the airline industry. “Now, as you can see, it is our retirement job and it’s definitely led to some very interesting ventures, adventures, misadventures and definite learning,” Cherie said. The apiary led to the construction of a honey house and then to an extensive gift shop and meadery. Art was instrumental in persuading the provincial government to develop legislation allowing meaderies. That hurdle was jumped in 2006.

Art became the mazer, or winemaker in other wine parlance. He is quick to point out the differences between wine and mead. “Number one, grape wine has tannins that feed the yeast. Honey doesn’t really feed the yeast.… And you have to control your alcohol content. It’s a little harder to do that” with honey than with grapes. There are many types of mead, but Chinook concentrates on three: traditional mead consisting of honey, water and yeast; melomel, which has added fruit; and metheglin, which has added spices and herbs. Other types include cyser, which is a mixture of mead and apple juice, pyment, which is mead and grape juice, and braggot, which is a mix of mead, hops and malt. Two types of Chinook mead won bronze medals last year at a world competition in Boulder, Colorado. Tours of the honey business, meadery and shop are common. Cherie and Art have prepared a video about honey production and have a living, glassed-in beehive so visitors can watch the insects’ activity. School groups are frequent visitors, and the on-farm shop has a wide array of honey and beeswax products. And of course, there’s the mead. barb.glen@producer.com

ABOUT MEAD • Sometimes called honey wine, it is considered the oldest fermented drink known to humans, dating back at least 7,000 years. • It is said to have been drunk in ancient Greece, where it was considered the drink of the gods. • Mead is mentioned in literature, including Beowulf, Canterbury Tales and Tolkein books. • It can be sweet, dry or sparkling. • There are many types, including: • Cyser: honey and apple juice

NEW YORK/FRANKFURT (Reuters) — Potash Corp has dropped its $11.57 billion offer for German potash producer K+S , citing a decline in global commodity and equity markets and a lack of engagement by K+S management. K+S shares dropped 24 percent after Potash announced its decision. Potash wanted K+S partly for its Legacy mine, now under construction in Saskatchewan, but K+S considered the bid under-valued. Weak demand from China has pressured all potash company share prices lower in recent months.

EQUIPMENT SALES

Machinery makers smell opportunity as China’s farms grow BEIJING, China (Reuters) — The world’s largest makers of tractors and combines are finding a rare opportunity for growth in China despite a sharp slowdown in the world’s No. 2 economy. Big farm machines are in demand as the rural labour force shrinks and plot sizes grow. This demand could help offset weakness in North America and Europe, where farm incomes are declining with global commodity prices. The trend also contrasts with stalling sales in construction equipment and passenger cars. Driving this binge on bigger, more powerful equipment to till larger farms is a combination of labour migration to the cities, land

reforms and government subsidies, which is spurring consolidation of the country’s vast small landholdings. “Whether from the dealers or the financing side, everyone is skewing towards this angle,”said Alexious Lee, head of Chinese industrial research at investment bank CLSA. The average farm in China was smaller than a football field in 2012, but nearly 900,000 family farms had an average size of 33 acres, according to data from China’s agriculture ministry. While these family plots were less than a tenth of the average U.S. farm, further expansions in size are expected as Beijing urges more efficient agriculture and takes steps toward reforming land rights.

Several thousand state and co-op farms of about 8,500 acres each also need bigger equipment. Total sales of 100 to 129 horsepower tractors in China increased 38 percent in the first half of 2015 compared with the same period last year, according to Agco, owner of the Massey Ferguson brand. Overall farm equipment sales for Agco and others in China were flat through the first half of the year but long-term prospects look brighter. Asia-Pacific accounted for only five percent of Agco’s $9.7 billion in revenues last year, but the company, which recently opened its fifth factory in China, is targeting $1 billion in sales from the region before 2020 and expects its Chinese busi-

ness to quadruple by then. The slowdown in agricultural sales in the United States and other markets is probably too big for China to counter alone, although CNH International expects “significant acceleration” in the country overall, said Luca Mainardi, the company’s head of agriculture construction operations in China. “The main growth is from cooperatives, which have been growing rapidly in number the last five years thanks to Chinese government support,” Mainardi said. CNH sells tractors of 140 to 230 h.p. in China and just started producing combines there. Mainardi reckons there could be 5,000 co-op farms in China, with their number

growing by 15 to 20 percent a year. Subsidies, which can cover up to 30 to 40 percent of the cost of a tractor or give incentives for deep plowing, have also encouraged rapid gains in mechanization in a sector still dominated by the lower horsepower tractors and other machinery used on smaller farms. “There are a lot of subsidies, and with a bigger land area you get more efficiency and more income,” said Zhao Shuanzhen, director of the Gaocheng Zengshou Agricultural Machinery Service Co-operative in Hebei province. Foreign players now account for 80 percent of the high horsepower market, although they can expect to face greater competition from local counterparts in the future.

Definition of a U.S.-sourced grain sale might surprise you MANAGING THE FARM

PAUL HAMMERTON & DAVID TURCHEN

This is Part 2 in a five part series on avoiding unnecessary U.S. taxes

ore Canadian farmers are investigating cross border grain sales in the postCWB monopoly environment as they search for stronger prices. However, it is important that

farmers know how taxation authorities look at cross border sales so they can avoid situations where the U.S. Internal Revenue Service thinks it has a claim on some of the revenue. The IRS does not always calculate net taxable income the same way as the Canada Revenue Agency, which can be a problem. The current U.S. federal income tax rates can be much higher than in Canada, which means farmers could owe more money. Shipping grain across the border may seem straightforward, but there are many situations where the transaction could constitute what is known as a U.S.-sourced sale, which can be taxed by the IRS. One common misconception is farmers won’t be hit with a U.S. tax levy if they are paid in Canadian

dollars. This is incorrect. The currency used in the transaction has no bearing on it is subject to U.S. federal tax. A U.S.-sourced sale can be generated either by the shipping terms of the product or from the solicitation to make the sale. The solicitation could be as simple as crossing the border to get a grain sample graded and make the initial sales pitch. Grain sold on the basis of that seemingly innocent transaction can be counted as U.S. sourced, even if the farmer returns home, strikes a deal with an agent in Canada and is paid in Canadian dollars. Determining what constitutes a U.S.-sourced transaction is not straightforward. A clear, defined contract is key to enabling a successful transaction, and it doesn’t

matter to the IRS where the contract is signed. Farmers can sign a contract in a Canadian office of a U.S. buyer, but if the title to the grain is passed to the buyer in the U.S., it is considered U.S.-sourced and therefore taxable by the IRS. The good news is the IRS will abide by what is specified in a contract regarding passing title, or ownership, of the grain. In other words, if a farmer has a contract clearly stating when and where the sale is to be considered completed, the IRS will accept it. However, farmers need a welldocumented contract as evidence of intentions or face complex legal and regulatory scrutiny. This scrutiny includes determining the parties’ intent concerning where title passes and resorting to

COMMON SHIPPING TERMS • Risk of loss passes in the U.S.: The grain faces possible downgrade once in U.S. • Title passes in the U.S.: The grain ceases to be yours and becomes the buyer’s in the U.S. • Economic transfer passes in the U.S.: The balance of payment or final payment occurs when the grain enters the U.S. local commercial law and analysis of the parties’ conduct, the underlying documents, common usage of the traded goods and all the other surrounding facts and circumstances.

First in Innovation

Meridian Swing Augers Not all Augers are created equal. Incredibly strong: Meridian Augers offer continuous flighting for each flange section, ensuring you get a strong, durable product. We manufacture augers with the fewest possible connecting points in the tube, which means your auger will run smoother and last longer. Dual Flighting: The 160 degree swing hopper features our patented left and right flighting. Extremely Quiet: Our customers agree that Meridian augers are among the quietest on the market. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship results in less friction within the tube, which leads to long-lasting performance and ensures less noise pollution on the farm when moving grain. But don’t take our word for it, watch our testimonial videos to see what our customers are saying about our augers.

World Class Quality. Locally Made Relationships.
