Low oil price problems reach beyond jobs Abandoned wells could lead to tax shortfalls for many Alberta municipalities BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RED DEER — Rural Alberta is in for a rough future as bankrupt oil and gas companies abandon pipelines and wells and no longer pay their taxes to municipalities and lease payments to farmers, a surface rights adviser warns. Daryl Bennett, a partner in My Landman Group, said low oil prices and world overproduction have put many companies out of busi-

ness and more will follow unless prices rise. For farmers, that means oil leases won’t be paid and well sites and pipelines will be abandoned without being reclaimed and cleaned up. Rural municipalities that rely on taxes from energy companies could see their revenues dramatically drop. “Once you abandon a well, you don’t have to pay any taxes or linear assessments to the county. That will be a significant shortfall in

county resources,” Bennett told an Alberta Federation of Agriculture meeting. Alberta municipalities and counties receive two streams of oil and gas revenue: Linear assessment is money that governments collect from pipelines and power lines and redirect to municipalities. About $845 million of linear assessment now goes to counties. SEE OIL PRICES, PAGE 5

New hog barns could soon be built in Manitoba, after eight years of little to no construction. The weak loonie, combined with the repeal of U.S. country-of-origin labelling and relaxed manure regulations in Manitoba, have produced the right conditions for new barn investment. “There are barns that are going to be built. We talked to Hutterite colonies last week in Brandon. There’s a number of them seriously looking at … building barns,” said Andrew Dickson, general manager of the Manitoba Pork Council. An investment in new barns and hog production is needed because many of Manitoba’s hog barns are 20 to 25 years old. The life span of a barn is typically 30 years. “We should be building about 20 barns a year (in Manitoba),” Dickson said. “Over the next 10 years, we essentially have to replace most of the buildings we’ve got. That’s a $2 billion investment.” Companies, colonies and individual producers built only about four barns since the late 2000s because provincial regulations curtailed investment. The province placed a temporary moratorium on new barn construction in 2006. The government said inadequate management of hog manure was devastating the quality of water in Lake Winnipeg. The moratorium evolved into a ban on new barns or barn expansion in the eastern half of the province.

LIVESTOCK SAFETY

Producer recalls day gentle cow attacked “On this day I had no exit strategy because I didn’t think anything would happen,” says Sascha-Kate Marskell BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

It was the kind of day that cowcalf producers love: late spring and sunny, near the end of calving season. Newborn calves frolicked in the pasture, their dams keeping watch and chewing their cuds. The bright green of new spring grass was evident around the bale feeders and in many of the pasture’s sunny spots. Sascha-Kate Marskell of Longview, Alta., was checking the few heifers yet to give birth in her herd of 240 Black Baldies. Nearby she saw the gentle cow that had given birth a few days earlier. Marskell had given both cow and calf a few pats the previous day. That morning of June 28, 2012, she found one heifer that was starting to calve. She turned back toward the house with intentions to check again in a few hours. “Next thing, I’m down on the

ground. I landed face down and I could feel all four of her hoofs on top of me and just this blood-curdling sound,” Marskell said. “I put my hands over my head to protect my head and I don’t know if I blacked out or not.” Things went a bit hazy after that, but she managed to stumble her way back to the house, bleeding and bruised and without her work boots, which had come off in the assault. The cow that had calved three days earlier, the one tame enough to pat, had attacked, collapsing Marskell’s right lung and breaking all her ribs on the right side. Marskell also had scalp lacerations, a torn rotator cuff and a shard of hoof embedded in her left leg. No wonder, then, that after a shower, some Tylenol 3s and several shots of Scotch, she was taken by her partner to the hospital in High River, Alta., for treatment of multiple injuries.

Bruising on most of her body initially obscured the piece of hoof in her leg. One month later, it ulcerated.

SASCHA-KATE MARSKELL LIVESTOCK PRODUCER

“They drew that little back line and said, ‘you know, we’ll probably have to amputate from the knee down,’ ” she said. That didn’t happen, but she spent four months on intravenous antibiotics and still has nerve and tissue damage. What made a good cow go so bad?

“She was 1,740 pounds,” says Marskell. “She ended up going to Cargill.” In the meantime, she and her partner, Keith Poffenroth, tested the soil in the calving pasture, particularly in the area around the heavily manured bale feeders. They believe the results pointed to nitrate poisoning. “It’s the new grass,” said Marskell. “If (the cows) eat enough of that, then it’s just enough to set off that ticking time bomb, I guess, or to make them psychotic.” Marskell said she didn’t know about the danger it might pose to cows and people at the time of the attack. She wonders if that’s the case for other ranchers. “I really think that farmers should be educated that this stuff happens,” she said. “It’s real. We all know safe handling practices with any kind of livestock. You always know that if you’ve got one that’s always got her head up at you, and you’re in the

corrals with her, you’ve always got a hand up on the rail, and you’ve always got an exit strategy. On this day I had no exit strategy because I didn’t think anything would happen.” Marskell welcomes the chance to tell her story as a warning to others. However, the incident hasn’t dimmed her enthusiasm for either ranching or animals. “If you let fear beat you, you might as well quit and do something else, but if you’ve got a passion for the industry that you’re in, you’re always going to go back to it, no matter what challenges you’ve had in the past,” she said. “Being in the cattle business is so rewarding. With that, we all know it comes with a lot of work, and all the animals under your care are like your own and you just want the best for them. So sometimes you do let your guard down a little bit.” barb.glen@producer.com

BOVINE BONKERS? ERGOT POISONING?

Experts debate theories behind cow’s unusual behaviour BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Sascha-Kate Marskell believes nitrate poisoning was the reason one of her cows went temporarily crazy and attacked her without provocation several years ago, inflicting injuries that still bother her. Soil tests from the pasture where that cow and some of the other late calvers were held showed nitrate levels of up to .09 percent, which Marskell said was a dangerous level for cattle. Several veterinarians asked about the incident say they’re not so sure nitrate poisoning is the culprit. That condition doesn’t usually affect behaviour, and it kills quickly. “I don’t know if there’s a behavioral thing,” said Dr. John Campbell, faculty head of large animal sciences at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. “It kills them so fast that I’m not

sure. With acute poisoning, they get increased heart rate and muscle tremors and vomiting … but I don’t know of any behavioral aspect to that.” He said a condition called bovine bonkers, which is a form of ammonia toxicosis, might be the culprit. It can be associated with cattle that eat ammoniated feed, and although it can also kill cattle quickly, strange behaviour has been noted as a symptom. If the cow in question wasn’t eating such feed, another reason is more likely. “When I hear that story, I think it’s much more likely that you’ve got a cow that’s calved that has become different. I don’t think nitrate poisoning is that common.” Dr. Barry Blakley, a professor and toxicologist at the college, said nitrate poisoning was unlikely to cause such a reaction in a cow. He suggested other possibilities, including lead poisoning, low-dose urea, rabies or a liver condition.

Cows can turn aggressive when protecting their young. | “Maybe a cow that has just calved has got a little bit of a fatty liver and can’t quite handle the new change in their metabolic status, so maybe it’s a subtle liver problem,” Blakley said. And he provided one more idea. “There’s lots of problems with

FILE PHOTO

ergot around these days, and one of the symptoms of ergot poisoning at fairly high doses is hallucinations and bizarre neurologic signs. I would put ergot on that list fairly near the top as well.” Marvin Genno, a large animal veterinarian from Medicine Hat,

Alta., said the flaw in Marskell’s nitrate theory is that no other cows had similar symptoms or behaviour, even though they were presumably eating the same feed in the same area. He thinks aberrant mothering behaviour is the most likely reason for the cow’s attack. “At calving time, I sure see it in cows that calve and become really good mothers … boy, you’ve got to watch out for them,” he said. “I’ve been knocked down by an aggressive cow before, too, and mauled a little bit, and then they go back to the calf. And that’s definitely the typical way that it goes. They just want you away from there. But you do get some of those that are hunters.” The reason for the cow’s attack on Marskell may never be confirmed, but the bottom line is that cattle are unpredictable, particularly at calving time. barb.glen@producer.com

HOG INDUSTRY EXPANSION? » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Then, the province said new barns could be built if producers installed an anaerobic digester to treat manure. Hog farmers said the plan was untenable. Anaerobic digesters cost $1 million and weren’t effective at removing phosphorus. In 2015, the province backed away from digesters, saying a twocell lagoon system that separated solid manure was acceptable. It initiated a pilot project to evaluate the technology. “The two-cell lagoon is very doable,” said George Matheson, Manitoba Pork chair. The relaxing of regulations leaves cost as the biggest obstacle to new barn construction. Estimates suggest a barn costs $500 per pig place. “Say a person wants to build a 4,000 space feeder barn, that’s $2 million,” said Matheson, who farms near Stonewall. “Over (30 years) it would prove to be a good investment.” A Manitoba hog production company is moving ahead with such an investment. “I can’t give you names,” Dickson said. “(But) one organization has to build two finisher barns because they had a fire and need to replace the buildings.” Producers have also hesitated to build new barns because banks were reluctant to provide the necessary financing. That roadblock may now be solved. Dickson said Farm Credit Canada will finance 65 percent of new construction costs for farm buildings up to a maximum of $500 (per pig place) over 15 to 20 years. “That’s a big breakthrough.” The lack of new barn construction has compromised the viability of Manitoba’s hog processing industry. The Maple Leaf Foods plant in Brandon is capable of processing more than 90,000 pigs a week but it has slaughtered less than 75,000 a week over the last 18 to 24 months because of two few pigs in Manitoba. “Our Brandon processing plant … is underutilized compared to large U.S. plants and this is a consequence of diminishing hog supplies in Western Canada, although we’re mitigating this through increased shipments of pigs from Ontario,” chief executive officer Michael McCain said at the Banff Pork Seminar Jan. 13. “There have been very few barns built in Canada over the last few years…. By comparison, more barns have been built in Minnesota and Iowa alone, in a single year, than we’ve seen in Western Canada in the past many years.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Robot tractor offered to public Killarney, Man., inventor writes his own code to operate a remote-controlled tractor BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Provoking spontaneous applause from a group of farmers is not an easy task, but Matt Reimer pulled it off Jan. 20 during a speech at Manitoba Ag Days. Last year, Reimer used basic knowledge of computer programming to build a robotic tractor on his farm near Killarney, Man. Reimer told a crowd of about 200 at Ag Days that he’s keeping the technology open source rather than patenting his wireless-operated tractor and making millions of dollars from farmers. As well, he wants other producers to use his design and improve upon the technology. “I think farmers should be involved with this, whether it’s having input into what I’m doing or building one yourself,” he said as producers in the audience applauded. Reimer began working on a robotic tractor that is controlled with a laptop computer about a year ago. He was intrigued by the idea of using robotics on his farm and used Christmas money to get started. He bought a small device used to auto-pilot drones and then taught himself how to write the necessary computer code to adapt the technology for a tractor. “I’m not a technical guy. I don’t have a technical background. I just worked hard (at this),” said Reimer, who took free online courses offered by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Matt Reimer was a star attraction at Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon this year. In 2015, he invented a driverless robotic tractor that can be operated with a laptop computer. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO “It’s really a matter of effort…. In some ways it’s (like) learning a second language. At first you’re just learning a few words but eventually you can put together a sentence … then a paragraph.” After hundreds of hours of time and experimentation, Reimer refined the system and used the tractor during harvest to pull a

grain cart. “It worked really well for us … but I’ve done a lot of work fixing minor issues that make it a whole lot more reliable.” Reimer’s life changed when a video of the tractor was posted online. He became a YouTube sensation and requests flooded in from international media.

“I knew if I got my tractor to drive itself (next to) my combine … it would be big in the ag world. What I’m surprised (by) is how big it is elsewhere,” he said. “It’s really gone beyond ag. People are seeing the potential in other industries.” Reimer hopes other producers will use the open source technology and build their own robotic tractor, but that isn’t happening. Instead, farmers want to pay Reimer for his expertise. Reimer responded by setting up a small company called Reimer Robotics, which has one client. “There will be another tractor that I put together working out in the fields next year,” he said, adding he is charging $35,000 for the installation and service. “I’d love to say I’m going to work for free at this … but I’ve got to get paid for my time.” Ho w e v e r, R e i m e r d o e s n ’ t sound like a hard-nosed businessperson. He seems more comfortable with sharing and collaboration. “In some ways I’m sort of tossing it at the farm world and saying, ‘hey guys, I like farming. I like doing this. Is this something you want me to keep working on?’ ” Reimer said he is motivated by the technological challenge and the joy of controlling a tractor with a laptop computer. “I’m in this for the dopamine…. I don’t care about the money.” To see a video of the robot tractor in action, visit bit.ly/1N80PA5. robert.arnason@producer.com

IN BRIEF

QUICK FACTS • 450,000 wells are in Alberta.

AGRONOMY

• 186,000 are still active. • 82,000 are inactive.

Soybeans could reveal salinity problem

• 66,000 are abandoned. • 68,000 have reclamation certificates.

BRANDON — Farmers can be wrong when they think they suddenly have a salinity situation in their fields. They might have the salinity, but it might not be new. “When I hear people in the (Red River) Valley say, ‘I’ve never seen salinity before,’ I don’t think that’s so much the problem,” said Manitoba Agriculture land management specialist Marla Riekman in a session at the recent Manitoba Ag Days. The real problem? “They’ve never grown so many soybeans before.” Riekman said salinity can be a hidden problem in fields growing only salt-tolerant crops or forages, such as wheat, barley or sunflowers. Corn and soybeans can’t handle salinity, so when they get put into a rotation where salty water is rising, they can reveal the problem quickly. “You’ve got a very susceptible plant in a mildly saline system,” said Riekman. “It’s going to start showing up as a problem.” Riekman suggested farmers think about salinity control as water management. The problem comes from a high water table bringing up salty water, so lowering the water table is key. That can be done by planting high water use plants such as sunflowers or alfalfa in “recharge” areas where precipitation recharges the water table, and growing salt tolerant crops in the “discharge” areas, where salty water emerges. Riekman said it can be tempting to think that scraping off salty soil could fix the problem, but as long as water keeps rising in that area, the problem will recur. Tile drainage can help, but many areas have soils that don’t allow effective tile drainage. Surface drainage doesn’t reduce water flowing to the surface, just gets it off more quickly. ed.white@producer.com

• 37,000 are reclamation certificate exempt. • 695 orphan wells are waiting to be reclaimed. • 503 orphan wells are being reclaimed. • It’s estimated that thousands will soon be abandoned and orphaned.

OIL PRICES CAUSE ISSUES » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Monsanto and DuPont Pioneer are hoping to take advantage of the warming climate because they expect corn acres to jump from 300,000 to eight million in Western Canada. “I have to believe it (can happen),” Phillips said. “They (farmers) are saying, my God, the growing season (now) allows me to grow this.” However, he said future weather on the Prairies won’t be all sunshine and rainbows. Prolonged droughts are a possibility, and extreme storms are likely. “It is a good news situation, but I don’t want people … to think it’s all going to be la-la times. There are going to be challenges (for farmers) with bugs and weeds and water.”

Rural municipalities collect taxes from oil leases, batteries and other energy facilities. Municipalities receive 60 to 95 percent of their budget from oil and gas revenue. Bennett estimates that taxes in the M.D. of Taber, where he lives, would need to increase 350 percent if the linear assessment was lost. “I know the counties are starting to get worried. Some of these companies gone bankrupt owe $15 to $20 million to various counties, and these are small counties,” he said. Municipalities are required to pay the education portion of the tax to the provincial government, even if it isn’t collected. Al Kemmere, president of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties, said he is hearing concerns from many counties. Taxes are not being collected from bankrupt companies, but some active companies have also chosen not to pay taxes, he said. Bennett said the problem with abandoned wells will continue to grow. In November, Calgary-based Spyglass Resources was placed into receivership, which put the viability of its 3,500 wells into question. The company has no money on deposit with the Alberta Energy Regulator to reclaim any orphaned wells. Bennett said the survival of Penn West and Penn Growth is in doubt. A collapse of those large companies would add more than 10,000 wells to the abandoned list. “The big guys are abandoning wells and pipelines as fast as they can, and that reduces revenue.” Energy companies do not have to pay taxes on abandoned wells. “The tax revenue is one problem, but who is going to pay to reclaim the land,” said Bennett. “Due to last year’s situation, there will be thousands and thousands of wells that are going to be put into the Orphan Well Association.” The association’s $30 million a year budget isn’t enough to cover the number of wells needing reclamation. Under the present rules, solvent operators are required to pay for insolvent operators and reclamation. “The last person standing is responsible to reclaim anyone else’s assets.” Bennett said farmers are better off than municipalities because they can apply to the Surface Rights Board for payment if a company no longer pays the annual lease rent.

Prairies may benefit from climate change BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The eastern Prairies may soon be like porridge in a fairy tale: not too hot and not too cold. Right now, the eastern Prairies are 24 percent wetter than Alberta and 10 percent warmer, but the region isn’t as hot and humid as Ontario. If climate change plays out as expected, Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan may become warmer and wetter but not too hot or wet for growing crops, says David Phillips, the country’s bestknown weatherman. “Manitoba and the eastern Prairies is what I call the ‘Goldilocks’ of situations,” he told Ag Days in Brandon Jan. 21. “ It ’s a l m o s t l i k e y o u ’ re i n between. That’s clearly an advantage.”

Take the warmest season you’ve ever experienced and in 50 years that will be the coldest. DAVID PHILLIPS ENVIRONMENT CANADA

Other climatologists, including Danny Blair of the University of Winnipeg, have said that Manitoba’s climate may become similar to Nebraska in 30 to 50 years. “ Take the warmest season you’ve ever experienced and in 50 years that will be the coldest,” said Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada. Many experts think Western

Canada may be one of the few regions on Earth to benefit from climate change. Additional heat units and a longer growing season may make the Prairies more fertile. “Canada, on the Prairies, could become an agricultural superpower,” he said. Climate change may present an opportunity, but western Canadian farmers will have to adjust by adopting crops and technology appropriate for a warmer, wetter and wilder climate. Younger producers will need to take calculated risks, but they need to use the right information, Phillips said. “We shouldn’t be making agricultural investment decisions based on old data,” he said. “Don’t look back over decades of time. It’s really the current situation that’s more revealing about what we will see in the years to come.”

Better logistics overseas pose threat to sales Government support to increase land devoted to crops would also increase market competition BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The world is full of threats and opportunities for Canadian farmers, says a market analyst. Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftFi e l d C o m m o d i t y R e s e a rc h, recently highlighted a few in key consuming and competing countries during a presentation at CropSphere in Saskatoon. Some of the biggest threats come in the form of logistics projects around the world. China is spearheading the One Belt, One Road project, which is a railway that will travel the ancient Silk Road from China through Kazakhstan and the Middle East to Russia and then Western Europe. “That’s a key risk that we have in the marketplace,” said Penner. It puts China within striking distance of Black Sea region producers of wheat, corn and soybeans as well as minor crops like flax. “They will then have a freight advantage into China, and that’s a little bit of a scary thing and it’s already being built,” he said. China is also contemplating investing in a $10 billion railway project linking the Atlantic port of Acu in Brazil to a Pacific port in Peru, creating a more direct route for Brazil’s corn and soybeans to China. It would save $80 to $100 per tonne in transportation costs. “That’s a big deal,” said Penner. He also touched on the threat of converting land to crop production in the coming years. Russia has 100 million acres that could be brought back into production and that may well start happening because the government has set a goal of boosting grain production to 120 million tonnes a

year in 10 years from 105 million tonnes in 2015. Brazil has 250 million acres of pasture and other land that could be converted to crop production without knocking down a single tree in the rainforest. However, the big one is Africa, where only 10 percent of the 990 million acres of land suitable for agricultural production is being used. A big chunk of that could be growing crops in the future. “Now that’s not going to happen for a long time, but I think it’s going to happen at some point,” said Penner. Government policies could also affect Canadian farmers. China’s lucrative corn subsidy has led to what some analysts believe is a government stockpile of 175 million tonnes.

CHUCK PENNER LEFTFIELD COMMODITY RESEARCH

Beijing wants to limit feed grain imports until it gets rid of its own h i g h -p r i c e d s u p p l i e s.

That business could be at risk if the government expands its interventionist policies. Beijing is talking about decreasing corn acreage, which could boost plantings of soybeans, barley and minor crops such as dry beans. China has almost disappeared as a dry bean exporter. “They could be back as an exporter, and that has at times caused some issues in the dry bean market,” said Penner. China is also sitting on huge stocks of rapeseed oil. “The one saving grace in that case is they’ve been sitting on some of this stuff for so long there’s now concerns that the rapeseed oil has gone rancid, so they won’t be able to use it,” said Penner. Beijing no longer provides rapeseed growers with price support. Instead, it is now a provincial responsibility. Analysts believe the subsidies won’t be as lucrative, which will reduce acreage. “That could help us in terms of our canola exports,” he said. Argentina’s new government has eliminated export taxes on corn and wheat and is reducing them on soybeans. Those taxes causes growers to shift out of corn and wheat and into crops such as barley, chickpeas, beans, flax and canaryseed. “Now that they can grow corn and

NORTH AFRICA

Drought could boost durum BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Durum prices could receive a lift if dry conditions persist in North Africa, says an analyst. There was little rain in large portions of the region between October and December. “Morocco has some serious problems,” said Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. “They just have had a deplorable precipitation year.” It has also been dry in northwestern Algeria but northeastern Algeria and northern Tunisia are in better shape. Bruce Burnett, weather and crop specialist with G3 Canada, said the dry conditions have not damaged the crop yet because it is in its slow growth period. “The concern is that we’re in the period of time they should be making up a lot of their reserve moisture,” he said. The crop will need those reserves when temperatures rise in March. He estimates there is a 100 to 150 millimetre soil moisture reserve deficit throughout North Africa’s durum growing region. No rain in February would put the crop in jeopardy in March. Lerner sees no big rain in the forecast for at least the next couple of weeks. Burnett said Morocco is the first country to heat up, and it is in the most need of moisture. North Africa is the world’s second largest durum producing region behind only the European Union. Any shortfall would require imports from the EU, Canada, the United States and Mexico, which would be a welcome development for Canadian durum growers. “ Wi t h o u t s o m e v e r y s t ro n g demand pull, I don’t think there’s going to be much excitement in the market,” said Burnett. Durum prices are at a premium to spring wheat, but the premium narrowed last fall because of ample supply of quality Canadian durum. EU acreage is up 13 percent from the previous year. Growing conditions are generally favourable but Spain is dry. Desert durum crops from the U.S. and Mexico will be hitting the market in April and May. Seeding is down 34 percent in Arizona and 31 percent in California from last year’s levels but higher than what they were in 2014. sean.pratt@producer.com

CATTLE PRICE OUTLOOK

Profits to dip until 2019 rally: expert Analyst says an expanding U.S. herd and lower Asian demand will cause a continued price slide BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Cow-calf operators will make a lot less money in 2016 than 2015, but they’ll still make good money. That was the message from analyst Jim Robb of the Livestock Marketing Information Center in a presentation at Manitoba Ag Days Jan. 20. “Very seldom do we cover our total economic cost of production in the cow-calf business,” said Robb, noting that 2016 would see most U.S. farmers earn net profits for the third year in a row. The average U.S. cow-calf producer will earn $200 per cow per year above cash costs and pasture rent, following $300 in 2015 and $500 in 2014. Canadian producers should see about the same results, adjusted for the Canadian dollar, he said. Prices will continue to grind lower until the end of 2018 but then stabilize and set the table for the next rally, he said. An expanding U.S. cow herd and weak Asian demand have combined to reduce prices.

Asia and the rest of the world might regain some growth by 2019 and lead the market higher again, Robb said. Calf prices slumped in late 2015, and while Robb thinks they will soften further in 2016, it won’t be as dramatic. “We think the biggest price adjustments are behind us,” said Robb. “If I got a bid for my calves (for late 2016) that was $10 to 15 per hundredweight lower than 2015, I’d probably take that.” If a farmer was offered prices in early 2016 for fourth quarter delivered calves at the same price as in 2015, “I’d take that in a heartbeat.” There will still be a couple more years of lower prices, but nothing disastrous. “We see cyclically lower prices through 2018, but not a repeat of 2015.” The slow process of moving higher could begin by 2019 unless something significant such as a lingering world recession intrudes, he added. Farmers might want to soon consider expanding herds again.

PROFITABILITY DOWN, BUT STILL GOOD 2016 is likely to see a further drop in cow-calf profitability, but it will likely still be the third-best returning year in history for many farmers, says Jim Robb of the Livestock Marketing Information Center.

PRICE HEDGING

CANOLA EXPORTS

Consider livestock price insurance to reduce risk

Trade deal key for Canada Growers want China-Canada trade talks to put canola on equal footing with soybeans BY ED WHITE

HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

eef cattle producers owe it to themselves and their industry to give the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program a chance. I heard at Manitoba Ag Days last week that farmers should not take the program for granted. It relies on some government funding from Growing Forward 2, as well as a government guarantee if the program should fall into deficit. Continued government support would be easier to expect if farmers use it. Livestock production tends to be more difficult to hedge than crop production, so the WLPIP is a noble attempt to give farmers a way to cut some of their risk. It might not be perfect, but it’s worth at least trying out. However, it seems there’s a cultural challenge when working with fiercely independent cattle producers, as industry leaders and program operators keep noting. Crop insurance is standard for most crop farming, but livestock insurance is inherently trickier with more moving parts. It doesn’t help that cattle producers are also more likely to back away from anything that isn’t clear and simple. It seems cattle folk don’t like things that are too fancy. The problem is that any livestock price insurance program needs fancy engineering because

it will almost inevitably require the use of U.S. futures contract prices, a conversion factor for the U.S.-Canadian dollar exchange rate and application to the anything-but-simple cattle production system. Farmers have said they want cattle price insurance available to them, and the WLPIP seems to be a pretty good way of doing it. That’s what I hear from bright cattle producer leaders such as Manitoba’s Martin Unrau and Tom Tiechroeb, who urged farmers at Ag Days to give the program a try. Last year offered two lessons. One was that it’s fantastic to have price insurance when the market slumps, as it did at the end of the year. Farmers with coverage taken out in early 2015 did nicely when things went bad a few months later. The other lesson was that premiums can expand greatly in a volatile market, which also happened late last year. If farmers are hedging, they’re more likely to see the first scenario: insurance protection coming at a reasonable cost in the normal run of business and occasionally paying out nicely in a market rout. The second scenario will occur, but will be rare and unlikely to do more than temporarily disrupt a careful hedging strategy. Beef cattle producers, who generally say they want price insurance available, need to give the WLPIP a chance. As was noted a couple of times at Ag Days, it’s best to ignore coffee row chatter about temporarily high premiums during a bad patch and focus instead on the financial stability that a standing hedging strategy can provide. ed.white@producer.com

WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canada hasn’t come close to maxxing out the Chinese market for canola, says the vice-president of the Canola Council of Canada. As a result, a free trade deal that would give canola fair treatment would see Chinese demand spike for the oilseed. Soybean imports are now charged a five percent tariff, but canola faces a nine percent tariff. This discrepancy makes canola more expensive than soybeans for buyers, but a trade deal could

eliminate the differential. “For canola, this would be incredibly valuable,” Brian Inness said during Manitoba Ag Days Jan. 19. China already takes about 45 percent of Canada’s canola exports, but that trade pales in comparison to its imports of soybeans. China impor ts four million tonnes of Canadian canola but 75 to 80 million tonnes of soybeans from countries such as the United States and Brazil. Removing the tariff differential would give the Canadian industry $300 million more per year. “That doesn’t take into account

the amount we could grow the market if we could have equal access to soybeans,” said Inness. Canada and China have been discussing a free trade deal, which the canola industry hopes will resolve its issues. ed.white@producer.com

CHINA TRADE

Income growth should sustain import pace Although GDP growth has slumped, disposable income rose nine percent BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The slowdown in China’s economy is no cause for panic for agricultural exporters , says an economist. China’s gross domestic product increased 6.9 percent in 2015, the worst annual growth rate in a quarter century. Many economists believe the real growth rate is much lower than the official number provided by the Chinese government. Some believe that is a worrisome development for Canada’s agriculture sector because China is a top buyer of canola, flax, peas and pork. However, J.P. Gervais, chief agricultural economist with Farm Credit Canada, is not worried about China’s slumping GDP growth because disposable income in China increased more than nine percent last year. Disposable income is what consumers use to buy food.

GDP comprises investment dollars, consumer spending, government spending and net exports. Gervais said China’s GDP is slowing primarily because of a reduction in investment money, which he called a good thing because the rate of investment in China was unsustainable. “Investment has to slow down, and consumers have to gain more weight in the economy,” he said. Gervais said investment fueled China’s economy for decades. “(Chinese) cities were getting bigger and bigger and you needed infrastructure. It was easy to pick an investment project with a double digit return on investment,” he said. It is harder these days to find investment projects that deliver those kinds of returns. “All that low hanging fruit is gone,” said Gervais. It is time for the Chinese economy to begin relying more heavily on consumption as the driver of GDP

growth, which is what is happening. “The problem I see is we’re not moving fast enough away from investment. I see that as the risk right now,” he said. Gervais said China needs labour reforms to increase productivity and boost wages so it can sustain the impressive growth in disposable income. He said China will likely import less feed grain in 2016, but that isn’t the result of a slowing economy. Instead, it is because of China’s overproduction of corn spurred by lucrative support prices for the crop. Gervais is confident China’s feed grain imports will resume once it has chewed through what some believe is a government stockpile of 175 million tonnes of corn. As well, he believes imports of other food products will remain strong despite the slumping GDP figures. “They’re still going to buy pork. They’re still going to buy canola and buy more beef,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE LOWER The fed steer weighted average was $177.31, down $1.80, while heifers were $175, down $3.35. Dressed sales ranged $296-$298 delivered. U.S. packer bids were about equal w ith local bids and were not enough to send cattle south. Cattle futures were volatile, influenced by the wildly swinging stock market. The loonie swooned and then firmed at the end of the week to dampen the market tone. The weekly Alber ta cash to futures basis narrowed $2 to a seasonally strong -$7.58. Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to Jan. 16 was overshadowed by a large non-fed kill. Weekly exports to Jan. 9 were 4,099 head. Market-ready supplies should tighten modestly. The colder, snowy weather in the United States could lead to reduced weights, yield and grades, but the support to prices will be offset by limited demand. Cash trade did not develop in the U.S. Bids were US$128 per hundredweight compared with asking prices of $134-$135. Cash cattle in the U.S. Plains fetched $132-$134 in the previous week.

Last week, 550-pound steers saw a $37 premium over heifers, the largest steer-heifer price spread ever seen. Last year, the spread peaked at $34.50 in the last week in January. With this histor ically large spread, look for heifers to close some of the gap with steers in coming weeks. Steers 850 lb. set a high of $226 early this month but have since pulled back $8.50. January is traditionally not a strong month for heavier feeders. Stronger live cattle futures at the end of last week had little impact on the feeder market as prices trended generally steady. Bred cows were $1,500-$2,400 a head

BEEF LOWER The U.S. Choice cutout was US$227.67, down $7.49, and Select was $223.08, down $6.35. Demand is expected to remain slow, but the storms on the U.S. East Coast may cause supply interruption and affect prices. Weekly Canadian boxed beef to Jan. 16 was steady to higher with AAA up nine cents at C$305.58 and AA up $6.99 at $307.91.

COWS STRONGER

U.S. CATTLE ON FEED

Auction volumes have been moderate, but direct sales increased because some cows bought on speculation were priced and committed for delivery. Western Canadian cow slaughter totalled more than 7,600 head, the most since early December. D1, D2 cows ranged $105-$116 to average $110.58, up almost $1. D3 cows ranged $87-$105 to average $97.60. Rail grade cows were $214-$218. Butcher bulls rose $4.50 to $134.39, the highest level since late October. Butcher cows have rallied nine percent since the December lows, while bulls have jumped 13 percent.

The number of cattle in U.S. feedlots Jan. 1 was 10.626 million, steady with the previous year. The trade expected a one percent decline Placements were the surprise, with 1.537 million going into feedlots in December, down one percent from the previous year. The trade expected a 4.4 percent decline. Marketings in December were 1.475 million, up four percent.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS RISE Hog prices rose as supplies tightened and pork values rose. The hog price rose faster than the cutout, so packer margins narrowed. The huge snowstorm in the eastern United States on the weekend affected hog deliveries and might temporarily slow pork consumption. The stock market’s partial recovery helped to steady livestock futures. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$41.50-$42.50 per hundredweight Jan. 21, up from $40-$40.50 Jan. 15. U.S. hogs averaged $55.79 on a carcass basis Jan. 21, up from $52.77 Jan 15. The U.S. pork cutout was $75.29 per cwt. Jan. 21, up from $72.97 Jan. 15. The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to Jan. 21 was 2.329 million, down from 2.3 million the previous week. Slaughter was 2.317 million last year at the same time. The Maple Leaf Signature three

U.S. buyers are offering US$4.25 with returns dependent on exchange rates, quality and export costs. Grade A heifers sold up to C$5.60. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.10. Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

keep seeing comments from private analysts who believe Statistics Canada’s December production report greatly overestimated the size of the canola crop. However, the pace of exports and domestic use does not indicate worries about smaller supply. If we assume analysts are correct and assume the pace of disappearance continues unabated, then the year-end stocks could fall to levels similar to 2011-12 and 2012-13 when canola prices were $100 a tonne stronger than they are now. It was a shocker in December when Statistics Canada, based on a farmer survey, pegged the canola crop at 17.2 million tonnes, up about three million from its September estimate. At the time, the trade was expecting a number around 15.5 million tonnes, noting that much of the western Prairies were in drought early in the growing season. Analysts often point out the shortcomings of Statistics Canada, but I wonder if it really did over-estimate the crop size. Experience would say no. In the past three years, it turned out that the report in December underestimated canola production by an average of 640,000 tonnes. Statistics Canada had to increase its production number when the year-end stocks report came out showing much more canola around than would be possible if

the production number was correct. So, historically speaking, it is unlikely that Statistics Canada over-estimated the crop size. Still, let’s do a little math. The official estimate of total canola supply this year is 19.65 million tonnes (a 17.23 million crop plus 2.32 million carry-in.) Total exports are forecast at 9.5 million tonnes and domestic use is 8.4 million, leaving year-end stocks at 1.75 million tonnes, which is down from 2.32 million last year and 3.01 million in 2013-14. The domestic use forecast is spot on, considering the crush pace this crop year. The export forecast, which is up four percent from last year, seems conservative, considering that exports are running 20.1 percent ahead of last year at the same time. Let’s say that the production number is off by a million tonnes. That would take year-end stocks down to 750,000, and if the export total surpasses the current forecast, then you could shave several

hundred thousand tonnes off that, say 500,000. And, I should point out, there is almost no chance of them getting that low. Stocks were 707,000 tonnes at the end of 2011-12 and 588,000 tonnes at the end of 2012-13. Prices were stronger than $600 a tonne, and that was with the loonie near par with the U.S. buck. Of course, the entire crop market was a lot stronger back then. With prices of major crops tethered down by burdensome supply today, it is unlikely that, even with tight stocks, canola values could soar into the $600s. However, prices could rally to ration demand and maintain adequate year-end stocks, particularly if analysts are correct about the crop size. On the other hand, if Statistics Canada is correct, the pressure to ration demand will be less strong. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

CHECKOFF CHANGES?

CRAIG’S VIEW

Refundable pulse checkoff demands serious thought

askatchewan Pulse Growers’ mandatory levy is creating calls for change among farmers who now pay one percent of gross sales to a fund earmarked for research. As the last non-refundable checkoff in Saskatchewan and a rare remaining one in Canada, the pressure for change is going to build. But should it? It’s true that the pulse checkoff does not fall in line with what is happening in other sectors. But there are reasons why what works for canola, for example, may not work for pulse funding. A refundable checkoff, and the decreased revenue that follows, has potential to damage pulse research much more than it would in other sectors. Experience shows that when other checkoffs allowed farmers to opt out, they typically saw a refund rate of two to six percent. Canola, soybeans, and to a lesser extent, wheat, all enjoy greater research spending from private sector corporations, which recoup their investments through the price of the seed. Meanwhile, most of the pulse varieties that are available today were developed with grower funding. The sector’s dependence on the producer checkoff reaches far deeper than it does for other crops. Yet farmers who drafted and passed a resolution at SPG’s annual meeting earlier this month calling for the group to change to a refundable checkoff raise good points. A refundable checkoff would make the pulse board and executive more accountable, they say. As well, strong prices have led to what seems like an abundance of cash for the check-off fund this year. SPG raised $5 million more than budgeted, and that extra cash could no doubt find many uses if farmers were able to spend it on their own farms. But before initiating change, there are larger picture items to consider. Even if

SPG earned more money due to high prices, having money set aside for the leaner times that inevitably follow isn’t a bad thing. The checkoff is based on farmer gross sales, so when lentil and pea prices fall, the group would be wise to have a cushion that ensures research projects won’t be abandoned. As well, farmers who want to opt out of the checkoff to make SPG more accountable might find more effective ways. Typically, voter participation in director elections for any commodity group runs below 10 percent. Those who want to influence policy or direct funding could start there. Plus, in many commodity groups, a request for a check-off refund also disqualifies that person from voting, since they no longer have any skin in the game. Farmers wanting to influence policy would also be welcomed to put forward their names to fill one of the many board and executive positions that commodity groups normally have available each year. People who want accountability should seek a seat at the table. Short of that, there are many semi-regular meetings, in addition to the annual general meeting held during Saskatoon’s crop week, which many farmers could attend to press forward their ideas. In the end, only farmers should decide the future course for SPG check-off funding, but there are a few options: refundable or nonrefundable; payment based on gross sales or tonnage; and imposing cap limits on check-off earnings. Whatever pulse growers decide, it’s important that the decision not be an over-reaction to a single year’s riches. The pulse checkoff, which has been in place since 1983, is a major reason the pulse industry is one of agriculture’s great success stories of the past three decades.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

Ag minister’s chief of staff appointment raises questions CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

fter months of going without a chief of staff and instead relying on staff borrowed from Agriculture Canada, agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay finally hired someone for the highest ranking job in his office in late December. His choice was egg heiress Mary Jane McFall, whose extended family, led by sister Margaret, runs Burnbrae Farms. She officially started Jan. 4. Burnbrae Farms is one of the largest egg production and processing businesses in the country. The cur-

rent operation is home to farms in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia with a major operation in Lyn, Ont., about an hour and a half from Ottawa. McFall is no stranger to the agriculture industry. She is a former member of Egg Farmers of Ontario’s board of directors and worked as Burnbrae’s legal counsel in the 1990s before returning to private practice in 2000. McFall ran unsuccessfully for the Liberals in the 2015 federal election in the Leeds-Grenville Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes riding, where she lost to Conservative incumbent Gord Brown. However, it’s her close connection to one of the largest egg operations in Canada that is raising conflict of interest questions from several folks in Ottawa’s inner circle. Word of her initial appointment didn’t appear to trigger initial reaction from opposition parties or the agriculture industry, but in recent weeks concerns about her ability to

build a firewall between the minster’s office and her family’s farm have grown. In a Financial Post piece published Jan. 19, Carleton business professor Ian Lee called McFall’s appointment a “grotesque and flagrant conflict of interest.” McFall told the Financial Post that arrangements have already been made with the conflict of interest and ethics commissioner to ensure that her duties as chief of staff can be fulfilled “in an open and transparent manner.” Still, both Conservative agriculture critic Chris Warkentin, whose own extended family grows grain east of Grande Prairie, Alta., and NDP agriculture critic Ruth Ellen Brosseau say they have questions about how McFall plans to separate her work in the minister’s office from her family’s business. In a letter to MacAulay Jan. 21, Warkentin said McFall’s “grave conflict of interest” also puts the

minister’s judgment under scrutiny. “Given that Ms. McFall and her relatives have such a sizable stake in one of Canada’s key agricultural industries, this places her and by extension your ability to exercise fair judgment into question,” the letter reads. “Her past, present and future relationship with the company, including any expected ownership interest going forward, must be explained to the public.” Those explanations, Warkentin said, should come out in testimony at the yet to be named House of Commons agriculture committee as soon as possible. MacAulay’s office has not said whether he and McFall will appear at the committee, which is expected to start sitting in February. The opposition also has questions about McFall’s ability to advise the minister on certain issues, given how prominent questions around Canada’s supply

& OPEN FORUM MAXIMUM RESIDUE LIMITS

PULSE CHECKOFF

Growers must be conscious of MRLs

We voiced our opinion; what’s yours?

BY PATTI MILLER & BRIAN INNES

he Canola Council of Canada is continuing to advise against the use of quinclorac on canola because of ongoing questions about residue limits in one of our largest export markets. Until these questions are resolved, growers should use other options to control cleavers on their farms. More information about herbicide and agronomic solutions can be found by contacting a canola council agronomist. Growers who used quinclorac on canola last year should contact their local elevator or processor to discuss options. More than 90 percent of Canadian canola is exported, which means meeting the requirements of major export markets is extremely important to the profitability of Canada’s canola industry. One of the most important markets for canola is China, which imports one-third of the canola we produce. China has no maximum residue limit for quinclorac on canola and no history of accepting imports of canola in which quinclorac residues have been detected. There is also no MRL for quinclorac in the CODEX Alimentarius, which is the international standard-setting body that Chinese officials use when deciding whether imported products meet Chinese requirements. Data from the 2015 growing season confirmed that quinclorac leaves residues that can be detect-

The Canola Council of Canada continues to advise against the use of quinclorac on canola. | FILE PHOTO ed by today’s testing equipment: not just in canola seed but also in the processed oil and meal. Residues were found most of the time when samples were tested from canola fields that had been treated with quinclorac according to label directions. As a result, the value chain believes there is a significant risk to Chinese exports if quinclorac is used on canola. Progress has been made in the past year in clarifying international residue limits for quinclorac in canola. For example, Japan established an MRL in late 2015. However, the canola industry remains concerned about meeting requirements in China.

Meeting export market requirements is the responsibility of all members of the canola industry: • Life sciences companies who sell crop inputs • growers who use these inputs • elevators and processors who buy farmers’ crops • exporters and processors who must meet the legal and contractual requirements of importing customers It’s essential that every part of the value chain co-operates so that undue risk is not created for other parts of the industry. Risk is transferred from life science companies to growers when input products are sold to farmers and then to elevators and proces-

sors when growers sell canola with residue levels that are unacceptable in some export markets. The entire industry could eventually be at risk if our international reputation as a reliable supplier is compromised. For these reasons, life science companies that sell crop protection products need to commercialize them responsibly. Growers should use only registered pesticides that don’t cause concerns in export markets and use them according to label directions. These practices are integral to a profitable, sustainable and innovative canola sector. The canola value chain is committed to an objective and consistent approach regarding crop protection products of concern to canola exports. This is important to support continued investment in innovation. Through the canola council, the industry promotes a policy of responsible commercialization that respects the standards of our customers by not supporting the use of crop protection products that result in residues of concern to export markets. When crop protection products that lack MRLs are in use, they are evaluated to determine whether they pose significant risk to canola exports.

AGRISTABILITY, AGRIINVEST, AGRIINSURANCE

Time to evaluate risk management programs HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

s Growing Forward 2 winds down over the next couple years, decisions need to be made on whether programs such as AgriStability and AgriInvest are modified or replaced. To their credit, a number of farm organizations are seeking feedback on the farm income safety nets. For instance, the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan has a producer sur vey on its website. Unfortunately, as producers, we typically think about how the programs works for us and how much money we have received from them rather than looking at what programs are meant to accomplish. AgriInvest provides free money

every year with few strings attached. It’s no doubt extremely popular, but what function does it serve? In theory, it enables producers to set some money aside to deal with minor income shortfalls. In practice, the larger your net eligible sales (up to the cap), the more money you get. And you can spend the money chasing land prices higher if you want. The least popular program could be AgriStability. Before the payout criteria was scaled back a few years ago, it was a ticking time bomb for federal and provincial governments. The insured reference margins were getting so high that even a modest downturn was going to cost governments a pile of money. With the program changes, there’s an ongoing debate over the value to producers. It has never been bankable because it’s just too complicated and discriminates against producers with multiple enterprises that have less income variability. The cost for producers to stay enrolled isn’t large, but many have dropped out. If the next set of business risk

management programs does not include AgriStability, farm accountants are likely to mourn its loss more than farmers. The Advance Payments Program serves a useful purpose and now covers a wider range of commodities. Someday, when interest rates rise, it will be even more important. AgriInsurance, specifically crop insurance, is a mainstay of support for the grain sector. However, it is primarily production insurance, and support levels decline dramatically when grain prices drop. Producers complain about how unseeded acreage is handled and how the yield guarantees are too low, but most acknowledge that it’s important to have. It’s great for producers to have programs that guarantee they will earn a profit, but that isn’t a reasonable objective. Government programs shouldn’t mitigate all the risk. While it is reasonable for programs to support the industry through production and/or price disasters, it’s difficult to design programs that will cope with a series of bad years.

At what point does income support become an ongoing income transfer? At what point do income safety nets hinder adaptation and business restructuring? Should programs encourage young producers? It sounds like a worthy objective, but many young farmers receive a considerable amount of help from their families while others do not. What roles can and should private insurance programs like Global Ag Risk Solutions play? Should programs be designed to achieve public policy objectives? For instance, should producers be denied insurance for seeding canola on canola or lentils on lentils? We like to argue that we’re world class and big business, but we also like our hand-outs, arguing that agriculture is a special case. In the current fiscal environment, it would be best to have clear program objectives because governments will be looking for ways to cut spending.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

ach week, our editorial board meets to discuss the topic and position we’ll take for our Page 10 editorial. Last week’s meeting was particularly animated, as we discussed Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ pending decision on making its mandatory checkoff voluntary. It’s the only group left in Saskatchewan with a mandatory checkoff. Farmers can obviously do what they please with their money, but debating the merits of a voluntary checkoff is worthwhile in an agricultural publication, so we chose to address the topic. What ensued was the most dynamic conversation I’ve seen at the editorial board since I joined The Western Producer. (Granted, that’s only been about 16 months.) Bruce Dyck, D’Arce MacMillan, Terry Fries, myself and Michael Raine all chipped in. Our southern Alberta editor, Barb Glen, usually sits in, but she was out in the field, as it were. The principle that farmers should be able to opt out of a checkoff is now engrained throughout the Prairies. That’s as it should be. But as we bantered back and forth, the argument that this instance ought to be the exception to that trend, and that the checkoff should be kept mandatory, emerged as the one we believed would serve pulse farmers best in this, the United Nations’ International Year of Pulses. The argument is laid out in the editorial, but the foundation of it is that while other crops benefit more from private research, pulse crops research is funded more by growers, so check-off money is vital. Yes, pulses had a good year and millions more were collected than expected, but as the editorial explains, there are other ways to address that, just as there are other ways to address accountability at the pulse growers board. In the years to come, crop research will be the life of farming. There was a lot of jawing among us before we settled on this position, but that’s what an introspective agricultural publication should do. However, missing from Page 10 is the voice of farmers, so we would like to hear from you. Let us know what you think of checkoffs, whether they should be voluntary and whether you think boards such as the pulse growers and others are truly accountable. You can participate in the debate by writing us at newsroom@producer. com. brian.macleod@producer.com

I was so dismayed at the article in The Western Producer on Dec 24, 2015, about Christmas concerts. (“Where have all the concerts gone?”) I can’t believe that Santa and giving gifts is not allowed anymore, because we have other cultures in our midst. Slowly, our traditions are being eroded away. Why, I even remember singing songs about Jesus at school Christmas concerts when I was little — can you imagine such a thing? OK, he’s definitely not allowed anymore. But Santa, and gifts — come on. Our children love it.

We have a terrific country — free and beautiful. That’s why everyone wants to come here. But when they arrive, they start complaining about our way of life and traditions, and we change everything to suit them. I don’t call that too free. I am enclosing a quote from Sir Wilfrid Laurier written in 1907: “And we have room for loyalty, but only one, loyalty to the Canadian people. We won’t accept anyone, I’m saying anyone, who will try to impose his religion or his customs on us.” If we don’t stand for something —we’ll fall for anything. Verna Wright Hixon, B.C.

beyond snuggling. Even the people who posted the provocative images and graphics on #agdays16 would likely agree this was a trolling campaign. Most people understand what it means to troll when it comes to internet-based interactions. For those who don’t, think fishing where you have a baited line out behind the boat. Some definitions of trolled say you have to respond online to be considered trolled, but I think that definition is too narrow. As soon as you react to the troller’s post, they have you on the line. So if a post made you angry, the t ro l l e r ’s o b j e c t i v e h a s b e e n achieved, which in this case was to agitate and hurt anyone involved with livestock. Animal activism does have an important and constructive place in society as a whole, and in the livestock industry in particular, but this was not animal activism. Activism is based on moving toward a goal in a constructive way, and I didn’t see any sign that this trolling campaign was trying to achieve anything but to annoy others. People who compare modern livestock to the holocaust are not trying to be constructive. Of the people who attended Manitoba Ag Days and used #agdays16, I can’t imagine how any of their beliefs were changed by these malicious tweets. If these trolls were actually interested in learning and promoting animal welfare, Manitoba Ag Days would have been a great place for them to start because some of the more knowledgeable and informed livestock producers in the business were likely on hand. These tweets didn’t foster positive discussions, which brings to mind the other definition of troll — the mythological beings — but only in the sense that they live far away from people and are rarely helpful. The anonymity provided by interacting online can allow these trolls to become even more hideous because they don’t have to worry about social repercussions for antisocial behavior, especially when hiding behind a cyber pseudonym. Trolling is said to have failed when it doesn’t elicit a response. So when these trolls remain on the outside looking in at the online Canadian agriculture community that has been forged through social media-based interactions and mutual support, they will know their time has been spent in vain and that they should likely get a useful hobby. robin.booker@producer.com

Intensive livestock more sustainable: McCain Maple Leaf Foods president says pigs, poultry are most climate-friendly livestock in terms of greenhouse gas emissions BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. — It’s no surprise that Michael McCain supports intensive hog production. The president and chief executive officer of Maple Leaf Foods heads a company that produces and processes hogs and contracts other producers to supply pork as well. Besides the supply advantage, McCain told those at the Banff Pork Seminar that large scale production will help Canada meet its climate change commitments recently agreed to at the United Nations climate change conference in Paris. “A kilo of lamb produced on a British hillside farm can generate the equivalent of 749 kilos of greenhouse gas emissions, more than a passenger flight from London to New York,” said McCain. “That’s because this form of animal husbandry is so incredibly resource intensive. Scale agriculture, which efficiently converts feed into animal protein, is the path to feeding more people while reducing our environmental impact but we still have to do it better and we still have to do it smarter.” McCain didn’t give a source for his British example, and his statement that meat and dairy production accounts for up to 18 percent of global greenhouse gas production was questioned by Alberta hog producer and former Canadian Pork Council chair Jurgen Preugschas. He said recent studies indicate the greenhouse gas contribution of livestock is closer to 14 percent. “Fourteen percent is just as material as 18 and it’s just as much a cause for concern and action and attention to this issue by our industry at 14 as it is 18,” responded McCain, adding the pork industry must show leadership on climate change. “I see the misinformation every day that the enemy … of sustainability is big food, big farming, scale agriculture and the path to the promised land is the local farm, when in reality we know that factually, it’s the reverse.” In his speech, McCain said pigs and poultry are the most climatefriendly livestock in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and they provide three times as much meat as cattle. He said Maple Leaf has committed to reducing its environmental footprint by 50 percent by 2025 in the areas of emissions, water use and waste. The food company chief also outlined plans on the animal welfare file. “In our pork operation this includes transitioning all sows under our management to loose housing, converting a minimum of 37,000 sows by 2017 and accelerating conversion of remaining sows under our management.” McCain said hog industry conversion to open sow housing has been slow, so quicker, broader changes are needed to meet consumer expectations. The Retail Council of Canada has

set a 2022 deadline by which its members will source pork only from operations with open sow housing. However, the commitment is voluntary. McCain said Maple Leaf would meet the commitment, which he said would give it a competitive advantage in pork sales both domestically and internationally. He warned pork producers to become more transparent in their operations and be aware of threats from misinformation about their practices and products. “The vilification of wheat could

happen to fresh and prepared meat,” McCain said, in reference to consumers’ rush toward reduced gluten or gluten-free diets. He was also critical of the recent International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) that said red and processed meat is a potential carcinogen. “Aside from the complexity of trying to isolate the impact of one single food group and establish its causal relationship to a disease that often takes decades to manifest itself, the classification system of IARC places prepared meats in the same risk category as smoking or

exposure to arsenic.” He said eating two hotdogs a day for a lifetime increases the chance of getting colorectal cancer by one percent. However, the IARC study and other analyses of meta-data, as opposed to original research, cumulatively and often negatively affect consumer perceptions about meat. He encouraged producers to defend meat as a nutritious food and engage consumers to ensure information accuracy. barb.glen@producer.com

THE REAL STORY OF AG

“We take pride in knowing we would feel safe consuming any of the crops we sell. If we would not use it ourselves, it does not go to market.” – Katelyn Duncan, Saskatchewan

“The natural environment is critical to farmers – we depend on soil and water for the production of food. But we also live on our farms, so it’s essential that we act as responsible stewards.” – Doug Chorney, Manitoba

“The welfare of my animals is one of my highest priorities. If I don’t give my cows a high quality of life, they won’t grow up to be great cows.” – Andrew Campbell, Ontario

Safe food; animal welfare; sustainability; people care deeply about these things when they make food choices. And all of us in the agriculture industry care deeply about them too. But sometimes the general public doesn’t see it that way. Why? Because, for the most part, we’re not telling them our story and, too often, someone outside the industry is. The journey from farm to table is a conversation we need to make sure we’re a part of. So let’s talk about it, together.

Farmers identify red tape as top business hindrance The Canadian Federation of Independent Business surveyed members BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers continue to bear the brunt of government red tape, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. The 2016 report based on a survey of CFIB members found that 76 percent of farmers identify government regulation and paper burden as a serious concern compared to 69 percent of businesses in other sectors.

“This marks the fifth consecutive year that farmers’ red tape frustrations have outpaced that of the general small business community in Canada,” said Marilyn BraunPollon, CFIB’s vice-president of agri-businesses. “For all the photo-ops and campaign commitments made at the farm, Canada’s farmers have seen little relief from the burden of costly government rules and paperwork.” Red tape ranks higher than tax

burden and the shortage of qualified labour on the list of farmer concerns, making it the top priority for the CFIB. The federation is not pushing for deregulation. “Farmers don’t have a problem with legitimate rules,” said BraunPollon. “But when you look at the red tape of inconsistent information or confusing forms or rules that are outdated or rude customer service or getting the run-around, that’s what robs time.” She said the Census of Agriculture is an example of farm regulation that needs to be changed. The 2016 census has 18 fewer questions and can be filled out online. The federal government believes it will take 30 percent less time to fill out than the 2011 census. “The problem is it’s still being sent out right in the middle of seeding,” said Braun-Pollon. “The timing still stinks for producers.” CFIB said the amount of red tape varies by province. The federation rates the provinces based on how they measure and report red tape and whether they show political leadership on the issue. “Manitoba was ranked as the worst province in the country for red tape accountability,” she said. The province received a failing grade in the 2016 report, down from a D the previous year for failing to live up to its 2014 throne speech commitment to cut red tape for businesses. “That’s no report card anyone would want to take home,” said Braun-Pollon. She said the province’s one-sizefits-all approach to manure management dealt a devastating blow to Manitoba’s hog sector. Saskatchewan maintained its B grade. In 2013, it became the second province to pass legislation requiring it to report on red tape reduction initiatives. The province estimated it saved taxpayers $12 million in compliance costs in 2015-16, which was well above its $5 million target. “Saskatchewan really does stand out as one of the few provinces that’s making red tape accountability a priority,” said Braun-Pollon. Alberta received an incomplete grade because it is too early to pass judgment on the newly elected government. “But I can tell you this, based on what we’ve seen, it wouldn’t be a very good grade,” she said. The province received a D the previous year, which could fall next year largely because of Bill 6, the controversial farm safety legislation. “This is an example of a bill that’s going to add a whole bunch of new regulations and hit the Alberta ag sector extremely, extremely hard,” said Braun-Pollon. The CFIB estimates that regulation costs Canadian businesses $37 billion a year. Its members believe one-third of that is red tape that could be eliminated. sean.pratt@producer.com

Environmentalists target off-highway vehicles Alberta groups want these vehicles banned on public land along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Conservation groups in Alberta have called on the province to limit the use of off-highway and all-terrain vehicles on public land along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Such vehicle activity is affecting water quality and wildlife habitat and must be curtailed to avoid further damage, they said. In a Jan. 25 news release, the groups called on the government to ban off-highway vehicles from protected areas and those identified as critical wildlife zones. They also want trails in the west slope cutthroat trout habitat regions permanently closed and decommissioned and the density of roads and trails reduced to “scientifically defensible levels.” Kevin Van Tighem, a conservationist and author of the recently released Heart Waters: Sources of the Bow River, said two developments prompted the groups’ move. “One of them was the announcement of the Castle River parks, which were touted as being protected areas and yet they’re protected from pretty much everything except what they most need protecting from,” Van Tighem said. Alberta environment minister Shannon Phillips announced in

September that part of the Castle Mountain area in southwestern Alberta would become a provincial park and another part designated as a wildland park. Logging operations and new oil and gas plans were halted but there were allowances for various recreational activities within those zones. Van Tighem said he was shocked by the idea that off-road vehicle trails could become common in provincial parks. The other precipitating factor was the federal announcement of an emergency habitat protection order for west slope cutthroat trout, which is considered a threatened species. “We’re driving the remaining populations of cutthroat trout towards oblivion by failing to protect the landscapes along their streams from the kinds of damage that ruin the streams,” Van Tighem said. The Oldman Watershed Council and the off-road vehicle groups that were contacted for comment did not respond by press time. Van Tighem said there is a place for off-highway vehicles and ATVs in Alberta’s headwaters. However, he said they should not be allowed in sensitive areas. “This is not in fact an us versus them thing. There is plenty of room for off-roading in the headwaters if its designed properly and put in

You can build a trail that does not become an erosion problem, but that means you actually have to do it, and nobody in the Alberta government has ever taken off-roading seriously enough to build proper trails for these guys.” The Oldman Watershed Council has mapped the roads, trails and paths in part of the region’s Dutch

Creek area. These “linear disturbances” allow greater access to wilderness areas by off-highway vehicles. The trails become watercourses once they are travelled and erode soil into creeks, streams and rivers. Instead of soaking into the ground and feeding streams on a more gradual basis, water is able to run off, often carrying debris with it. “The headwaters, the foothills and the mountains are the source of more than 90 percent of the water that sustains our prairie economy,” said Van Tighem. “All of our irrigated agriculture depends on healthy headwaters, and most people aren’t aware of the degree to which they are being absolutely trashed by unregulated, unplanned off-road abuse.” Professional biologist Lorne Fitch, who has studied fish habitat along the eastern slopes, said he considered the conser vation groups’ demands of the government to be a “pre-emptive strike” to protect endangered native trout species. Habitat and water quality are vital to the trout but also to the two million people downstream who drink it. “It’s about our priorities for the eastern slopes,” said Fitch. “We’ve actually gone beyond the point that we can have everything in the eastern slopes — that in-

FARM WORKER REGULATIONS

Farm groups join forces to address Bill 6 in Alta. The unity shown in the new coalition is called unprecedented BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RED DEER — Alberta’s farm safety legislation has united the province’s agriculture community. More than 70 people representing 95 percent of the agriculture industry have joined together to develop a unified approach to the farm safety bill, otherwise known as Bill 6, said Kent Erickson, cochair of the Jan. 22 meeting. “The number one goal of this coalition meeting is we want to have one clear unified voice sending good clear messages to government,” said Erickson. Erickson said the joint Crop and Livestock Sector Working Groups want to work together to make proposals to the government about what health and safety, labour and employment regulations should look like. The group tried to find Bill 6 problems that farmers couldn’t accept. It wasn’t the farm safety aspects that farmers opposed, but labour legislation, he said. “The biggest areas of concern, as the entire coalition, are the detail around labour and employment standards.”

He said the government needs to accept that grain producers and livestock operators are subject to the weather. “When we’re in peak times, we are not able to manage the environment,” said Erickson. Alberta agriculture minister Oneil Carlier announced six technical working groups, of 10 to 12 people from industry, farmers and labour to work together to build a workable farm safety bill. Four groups will focus on occupational health and safety, one on labour and another on employment codes. Each group will be led by a mediator to help develop workable solutions. Erickson said the coalition will help solidify the farmer message to government when commissions suggest members for the roundtables. Coalition members stressed during the discussion that it’s important to have a safety association or group that could help farmers implement the regulations, similar to what exists in Manitoba and British Columbia. mary.macarthur@producer.com

CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM

Coalition fights to save historic research farm BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A coalition of scientists and heritage advocates are trying to save what may be the second oldest piece of agricultural research land in the world. The farmland isn’t in Egypt or in Iraq; it’s a 15-minute drive from Canada’s House of Commons. In 2014, the federal government ceded 60 acres of land from the Agriculture Canada Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa so that the Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital could rebuild. The federal government established the Central Experimental Farm in 1886, one of the five original research farms in Canada. It was designated a national historic site in 1997. The farm has 500 acres of land dedicated to research, but the 60 acres designated for the hospital are the most valuable. “Field No. 1 has been Field No. 1 since 1886. It’s probably the second oldest … continuously monitored piece of agricultural land in the world,” said Julie Harris, who runs Contentworks, an Ottawa firm that preserves Canadian heritage. Fifty scientists and concerned citizens, including Harris, sent a letter in November to agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay, environment minister Catherine McKenna and heritage minister

Melanie Joly, asking the government to reconsider the decision. In the letter, they said the 60 acres are irreplaceable and globally significant. The Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change has used research from the site for its reports. “The CEF has been conducting long-range studies on the effect of climate change on agricultural lands … which tie in to data from the meteorological station located on the farm,” the letter said. “The research cannot be transplanted elsewhere.” Research from Field No. 1 also helped: • develop Marquis wheat • create the first varieties of soybeans suitable for Canada • develop fusarium head blight resistance in wheat Harris said scientists need Field No. 1 to continue critical, longterm research. “At the moment, there are 21 agricultural research projects happening on that piece of land,” she said. The letter said the former government made the 60 acres available for the hospital for $1. The coalition agreed that the hospital should be rebuilt, but the history and science from Field No. 1 shouldn’t be sacrificed. It is asking the government to open the process and consult with all interested parties to formulate a ‘win, win’’ outcome. robert.arnason@producer.com

FARM SAFETY

‘All I could do was keep breathing’ Buried under several feet of corn, Iowa farmer describes harrowing story of rescue and recovery BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

RIDGETOWN, Ont. — “Get her done” is a mantra long familiar to Arick Baker. It’s also what led to the young Iowa farmer spending four and a half hours buried in a grain bin one summer day in 2013. “If we would have stopped and thought it through, this wouldn’t have happened,” Baker told the Southwest Agriculture Conference Jan. 5. “Today, I don’t like to take risks. If there’s a way to do things where there’s no risk, that’s the way to go.” His ordeal began as he was trying to break up pillars of corn inside a 68,000 bushel steel bin. He was tied off to a ladder with the rope secured around his shoulder and torso. “Dad whistled down to me when the bin was two-thirds empty,” he said. “We were shutting it off, and I decided to give it one last poke.” What the Bakers didn’t realize is that the auger at the base of the bin

had created an empty space, and all that was supporting him was a thin shelf of corn. The shelf let go, his father drove away and in an instant Baker was buried, with only his hand, still holding the rope, visible. He would have died in seconds if not for the dust filtration helmet and mask he was wearing. While not intended to protect him in this kind of situation, it provided him with enough space around his mouth and nose to breathe. “After a few minutes a kind of calmness came over me,” he said. “ ‘Hey,’ I said to myself. ‘I’m alive. if I was going to die, it would have happened already.’ ” Baker said his father’s initial absence probably also saved his life. If the older man had realized what was happening, he likely would driven his semi-truck into the side of the bin, and the force of the collision transferring through steel and corn to the younger man’s body would have killed him. Instead, a rescue team was called to the scene around 12 p.m. when

“ ‘Hey,’ I said to myself. ‘I’m alive. If I was going to die, it would have happened already.’ ” ARICK BAKER IOWA FARMER

his father realized what had happened. They assumed he was dead but then heard his muffled screams. One rescuer attempted to pull him out but only succeeded in detaching Baker from the rope. “The pressure was insane. They say my feet were under 900 pounds per sq. inch, my chest 450 pounds. All I could do was keep breathing.” Additional volunteers arrived. Using his hand, Baker indicated where his body was positioned and that he was vertical.

This allowed a few beefy rescuers to push down a coffer dam — a heavy duty, metal tube designed for bin accidents — over his body. A local fire station had acquired the unit only six days earlier. Meanwhile, grinders were used to cut holes into the side of the bin. Scores of volunteers shoveled by hand until the arrival of a bulldozer. Baker’s face was uncovered in about an hour, and he was out at 3:02 p.m. The next morning, nurses used tweezers to pull out kernels of corn pressed into his body and

clean him up. The following day he walked from the hospital. It took six weeks for his leg to heal where it was scraped by the coffer dam and burned by the acid from the corn. Baker still farms, but he now enters grain bins with a lot more forethought. He has given more than 40 presentations about his experience. According to the University of Illinois extension service, grain bins should be entered only as a last resort when dealing with flow problems. If they must enter a bin, farmers should take the following precautions: • Shut off the power to the auger and lock the equipment. • Wear a full safety harness that is properly tied off with a rope. • Make sure that at least one other person, preferably two, are present. • Stay along the bin’s outer perimeter and move quickly to the interior bin ladder or safety rope should grain begin to flow.

Curl up with a good (for you) book COUNTRY KITCHEN

DOROTHY LONG

ookbooks are always a great source of inspiration and often offer a new way to think about an ingredient or a new cooking technique or flavour combination. The following are five of my top picks for healthy cookbooks published in the last couple of years. Dorothy Long is a home economist in the agrifood trade and former greenhouse grower from Lloydminster, Sask. She writes a blog at prairiekitchencompanion.blogspot.ca. Contact: food@producer.com.

Weeknight Wonders, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company (2013) and written by Ellie Krieger, RD. Ellie is a dietitian, cookbook author and host of the Food Network show Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger. She also has a blog at elliekrieger.com. The Big Bite: This book tackles the question, “what’s for dinner?” with Ellie’s “usually-sometimes-rarely” food philosophy to help choose healthy, flavourful options. “Usually” foods are healthy choices such as beans, lentils, nuts, vegetables, whole grains, fruit, lean protein and lower fat dairy, which make up most of the ingredients in the recipes. “Sometimes” foods might be a bit more processed and less nutrient dense, such as white flour or dark chocolate.

“Rarely” foods include sugar, cream and full fat cheese, which if used strategically can add a lot of flavour without over-doing the added fat or carbohydrates. The Best Bite: Kick up pizza night with this pizza strudel. It was easy to prepare and looked and tasted gourmet. I like Ellie’s recipes because they are easy to prepare but seem sophisticated. As well, they hit that sweet spot of flavourful and healthy.

PIZZA “STRUDEL” 3 c. lightly packed 750 mL baby spinach leaves 4 oz. part-skim mozzarella 250 mL cheese (1 c. shredded) 6 sun-dried tomato halves 8 fresh basil leaves 1 large ripe tomato 1 tbsp.cornmeal 15 mL

1/2 lb. whole wheat 250 g pizza dough, thawed cooking spray 3/4 c. part-skim ricotta 175 mL cheese 1 large egg white Preheat the oven to 450F (230 C).

Finely chop the spinach and sundried tomatoes and shred the mozzarella. Cut basil into ribbons. Slice the ripe tomato into thin half moons. Sprinkle a work surface with cornmeal. Using your hands and/or a rolling pin, stretch the dough into a 10 x 16 inch (25 x 40 cm) rectangle. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Spread the ricotta along the middle of the dough, leaving a three inch (7.5 cm) border on each long side and a 1/2 inch (1 cm) border on the top and bottom. Sprinkle the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes over the cheese. Arrange the tomato slices and then top with the mozzarella and basil. Whisk egg white and brush it along each side of the dough. Fold the two short sides of the dough over the filling and roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll. Press with your fingers to seal the top and bottom firmly. Position the roll so it is seam side down (diagonally if needed to fit). Brush the entire surface of the dough with the remaining egg white and cut four one-inch (2.5 cm) slits into the top of the dough, spaced about two inches (5 cm) apart. Bake until the crust has browned and the cheese has melted and bubbles slightly from the slits, 14 to15 minutes. Slice into eight pieces using a serrated knife and serve. Makes four servings.

Get Your Family Eating Right!, published by Fair Winds Press (2013) and written by Lynn Fredericks and Mercedes Sanchez from FamilyCook Productions. FamilyCookProductions.com is a non-profit group that educates people about healthy eating. The Big Bite: This book is on a mission to help your family eat better. It is full of practical advice and a 30 day plan complete with goals, activities and recipes to help prioritize meals and encourage acceptance from family members to eat better. Recipes are easy and kid friendly in terms of flavours and in having your kids help in preparing the meal.

The Best Bite: Step aside, plain old rice crispy squares. Hello multigrain bars. These sweet treats are full of nutritious ingredients such as nuts, seeds and dried fruit and berries. I found them very sweet, but my taste tester kids loved them. I plan to try them again with ground flax and less agave.

MULTIGRAIN BARS 1/4 c. sesame seeds 36 g 1/2 c. chopped almonds 110 g 1/2 c. chopped dried 75 g apricots, apples or other dried fruit 1/2 c. raisins or dried 75 g cranberries 2 1/2 c. puffed rice cereal 53 g 1 1/4 c. rolled oats 100 g 1/2 c. almond nut 130 g butter, smooth and preferably raw 1/2 c. agave syrup 170 g 1/2 c. liquid honey 170 g 1 tsp. vanilla extract 5 mL

Adult: Preheat oven to 300F (150 C or gas mark 2). Adult: place the sesame seeds and chopped almonds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toast in the preheated oven for five minutes. Child: Add almonds, sesame seeds, apricots, and raisins to a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Add the rice cereal and oats. Toss to combine. Adult: In a large saucepan, whisk together the almond nut butter, agave, honey and vanilla

extract. Heat over medium-low heat for five minutes or until mixture is just about to come to a boil. Remove from stove. Adult and child: Pour saucepan contents over the apricot-oat mixture and mix well using large spoon. Child: Help grease the eight inch (20 cm) square cake pan with light cooking oil or butter (nothing too flavourful.) Press the mixture into the pan. Let stand for 30 minutes or until firm. Cut into one inch (2.5 cm) squares.

Steamy Kitchen’s Healthy Asian Favorites, published by Ten Speed Press (2013) and written by Jaden Hair. Jaden is a cookbook author and award winning blogger at steamykitchen.com. The Big Bite: Jaden includes many personal stories and moments from her life, including how she came to start her blog and the book. Not only do her recipes demystify modern style Asian cooking, but they also use ingredients and techniques that make them health and tasty. Several recipes are healthy makeovers of traditional dishes

from China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. If you have a favourite Asian dish, there is a good chance that a healthy version of it is in this book. The Best Bite: Dan Dan Mien is a spicy, traditional Chinese noodle dish. This version is toned down but still has great flavour.

The Slim Down South Cookbook published by Oxmoor House and written by Carolyn O’Neil, RD. Carolyn is a registered dietitian and well-respected food and nutrition journalist. The Big Bite: This book tackles the issue of obesity in the southern United States. The South has the dubious honour of being the most overweight area in the U.S. Although many healthy ingredients hail from the South, such as peaches, pecans, greens and sweet potatoes, it is also the land of fried chicken, biscuits, layered cakes and beignets. Carolyn has remade the southern classics in a

healthy way and has also interviewed chefs, lifestyle gurus and other cookbook authors for their tips on slimming down southern cuisine. The Best Bite: I chose a layered salad called Hoppin’ John featuring that famous and healthy southern ingredient: black eyed peas. It is usually eaten at new years for luck.

HOPPIN’ JOHN PARFAIT 1 c. 3 1 c. 1 2 cans 1 large 2 1 1/4 c. 1/4 c. 2 tbsp. 1/2 c.

uncooked basmati rice 250 mL bacon slices chopped sweet onion 250 mL jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced black eyes 15.8 oz 467 mL peas, drained and rinsed tomato finely chopped green onions, thinly sliced celery rib, finely chopped chopped parsley 60 mL olive oil 60 mL apple cider vinegar 30 mL shredded pepper 125 mL jack cheese

Prepare rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels, reserving one tbsp. of the drippings in the skillet. Crumble bacon. Sautee onion and jalapeno pepper in hot drippings for three to five minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in black-eyed peas and one cup (250 mL) water. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, for five to seven minutes or until liquid has almost completely evaporated. Stir together tomato and next five ingredients in a small bowl. Evenly layer blackeyed pea mixture, hot cooked rice and tomato mixture in 12 (7 oz ) glasses. Top with cheese and crumbled bacon. Makes 12 servings.

OATrageous Oatmeal published by Page Street Publishing Co. (2014) and written by Kathy Hester. Kathy is a recipe developer, cookbook author and blogger at healthyslowcooking.com. The Big Bite: There is nothing like a bowl of oatmeal to jump start the day. This book explores many variations on that bowl of oatmeal, but it also goes beyond the bowl and explores other creative and tasty ways to use oats. Recipes range from the standard oat fare of bars, crisps and cakes to the more unusual soups, stews and risottos. It also includes recipes for oat milk, dog treats and body scrubs. I love checking out cookbooks that use the healthy

ingredients grown on the Canadian Prairies. Kathy is vegan and takes a unique look at oats. She has come up with new ideas on how to use them. I love that. The Best Bite: I chose to make one of the soups because I was curious if rolled oats would change the texture of the soup. To my happy surprise, the oats thickened the texture in a satisfying way, mimicking cream based soups but with less fat and more fibre.

INDIAN SPICED TOMATO SOUP 2 cans 1 1/2 c. 1/2 c. 1 3 tsp. 4 cloves 1 1/2 tsp. 1 tsp. 1/2 tsp.

diced tomato 411 g water 355 mL rolled oats 48 g bouillon cube grated ginger 2g garlic, minced ground coriander 7 mL ground cumin 5 mL mustard powder 2 mL pinch chili powder, optional salt and pepper to taste

Cook all the ingredients except for the salt and pepper over high heat in a soup pot until just boiling. Turn to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the oats are cooked well. The tomatoes should be cooked down. Carefully pour the hot soup into a blender to puree or use an immersion blender. Add salt and pepper to taste.

SOUTHEAST ASIA

Laos attracting more tourists, but remains laid back TALES FROM THE ROAD

ARLENE & ROBIN KARPAN

e silently rose above the rice fields just before dawn, the only sound an occasional blast from burners on the hot air balloon. Our pilot made fine adjustments to the heat until our almost vertical ascent caught the high gentle breeze that took us slowly along the Nam Song River Valley. We looked down over the small town of Vang Vieng and the narrow strip of river flats, flanked by hills to the east and a backdrop of slender vertical karst mountains to the west. As the rising sun peeked over the horizon and washed a warm glow over the morning mist and pinnacle formations, it felt like we were drifting through a classic oriental painting. It was one of many memorable moments from our travels through Laos, the only land-locked country in Southeast Asia. Considered off-the-beaten-track not long ago, Laos is now receiving a lot more travellers because of its outstanding tropical scenery, a rich history, fascinating culture and friendly people. Like most of Southeast Asia, money goes a long way here. However, the most noticeable difference is the lack of crowds, with Laos having one of the lowest population densities in Asia. Vientiane, the capital and largest city, has fewer people than Saskatoon and is a world away from the heavily congested capitals of its neighbours such as Thailand and Vietnam. Travel guides often describe Laos as laid back, and we certainly did get that impression. Few people seem to be in a hurry. Even when we walked through markets geared to tourists, there was never any aggressive hard sell. However, this relaxed attitude has

its disadvantages when it comes to getting things done. Roads are in terrible shape practically everywhere, and public trans-

port is frustratingly inefficient. Fortunately, businesses dealing with tourists, such as hotels, guest houses and local tour operators,

Laos’s most popular destination is Luang Prabang, the ancient royal capital and religious centre at the confluence of the Khan and Mekong rivers. The entire town centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the staggering array of golden stupas, resplendent Buddhist temples with intricate artwork, along with 19th century architecture from the French colonial era. More than museum, these ornate buildings are working temples in this devoutly Buddhist country, where hundreds of saffron-robed monks go about their business. The colonial streets and river’s edge are lined with trees, flowering plants and inviting cafes serving excellent locally grown coffee. About four hours north, the small town of Nong Kiaow is nestled in a picture-postcard valley on the Nam Ou River. The few tourists that wander this far are usually here to explore the countryside. One day we took a guided excur-

sion upriver by boat to remote villages, where we hiked along rice paddies and through forested hills to a waterfall, eventually returning downriver by kayak. It was a fascinating glimpse of rural life amid spectacular scenery. However, what we remember most are the displays of old bombs in front of houses and restaurants. Laos has the dubious distinction of being the most bombed country per capita in the world. The United States dropped two million tons of explosives on Laos during the height of the Vietnam War. Close to a third of the explosives, especially smaller cluster bombs, didn’t explode, and continue to be a threat. Every so often, a farmer tilling a field uncovers one with tragic consequences. No matter how peaceful life seems in Laos today, we never go far without finding reminders of its tragic past. Arlene and Robin Karpan are well-travelled writers based in Saskatoon.

CLEAN, SORT AND DISCARD

An organized kitchen makes cooking fun TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

t’s a new year and a perfect time to organize the pantry, cold room and freezer by replenishing food stocks and cleaning out the old. A well-stocked kitchen is key to impromptu and easy meal preparation. Freezer organization I keep chicken carcasses, beef and lamb bones along with cuttings of carrots, celery and onion in freezer bags for a day of making stock. Pull them out and do it today. Your stocks can simmer while you continue with cleaning. If you keep odd bits of bread, make croutons and bread crumbs. Freezers free of ice buildup use less electricity. Begin by removing all food, turn the control dial off and leave the door open to melt the ice, usually about 30 minutes with an upright freezer. Remove water and clean the inside with warm soapy water, including shelves and the outside of the freezer. Pull a piece of paper through the door while it is closed to make sure that the door gasket seals well. The gasket should be replaced if the paper pulls through easily. Wash and dry the gasket carefully. Remove dust from the compressor and coils underneath the freezer. Turn the freezer back on and then replace food and organize by food groups so they are easy to find. Put a fresh box of baking soda inside to control odors. The proper temperature setting for a freezer is 0 F (-18 C). Keep a thermometer in the freezer to monitor the temperature. Kitchen storage Rethink where and what is in your easy-to-reach cupboard space and arrange by frequency of use. For example, I use my pressure cooker a lot but have always kept it in the basement storage area. My Chinese steamers are in the

cupboard but are difficult to pull out. I would use them more if they were easier to access. Match food storage containers with their lids and discard extra lids. Pots stored with their lids on rather than stacking are so much handier to use. Stack only pans that don’t have lids. Line the bottom of the drawer with a rubberized liner so that the pots and pans don’t slide around when the drawer is pulled open. Add inserts to prevent drawers from being one mass of gadgets. Use baskets, cutlery trays and wire baskets and declutter countertops. Next, clean kitchen cupboards and main floor pantry. Remove all items cupboard by cupboard, and wash shelves with warm soapy water. Making a beverage centre makes perfect sense. Keep all coffees, hot chocolate, teas and gadgets in a handy spot that is near the coffee maker. Make another spot to store all the baking ingredients. Spices, herbs, and salts are another natural grouping. Grouping pasta with rice and grains makes sense in my kitchen.

Stacking frying pans saves space, but storing pots with their lids saves time. | middle shelves and children’s items on the lower shelves so they can reach them. Use containers with tight fitting lids for opened packages. Make a shopping list for items that are running low.

How old is too old?

Tackle the fridge

Check the freshness of your spices and vegetable oils and expiry dates on all packaged and canned goods. Check for duplicates and empty packages. As well, discard or donate to charity any unopened packages that you never use or don’t like. Ground spices should be used within a year. Dried parsley and basil are low in flavour. Whole spices have a shelf live of up to five years. Vegetable oils can be kept until they turn rancid. The smell will be acrid and unappealing. Put half an apple or a fresh bun in a bag of dried out brown sugar to rehydrate it. Pasta, dried beans and lentils keep almost indefinitely. Store in a cool, dry place for best results. Honey and corn syrup can be kept until the flavour or appearance becomes unappealing. Flour has an expiry date. It is best if used within one year of milling. Some companies put dates on their packaging.

The refrigerator freezer compartment and interior are cleaned in the same way as the freezer. Discard spoiled food. Check expiry dates on all condiments and discard as necessary. Get serious with all those bottles of salad dressing, mayonnaise and ketchup. Do you really need all of them? Carefully clean rubber gaskets on doors. Remove all shelves and drawers and wash. Do not put cold glass and plastic pieces in hot water. Remove the grill at the bottom of the refrigerator and clean out the dust bunnies. Check the water filter and replace if needed. The proper temperature setting for a refrigerator is 35-38 F (2–3 C). Bacterial growth is more active above 40 F (4 C) and food freezes at 32 F (0 C). Return wrapped or covered food to the refrigerator. Organize so the healthy snacks such as cut vegetables and cheese, are on the bottom shelf within easy reach. Don’t forget to clean under the sink. A plastic storage unit with drawers is ideal to organize scouring pads, silver polish, cleaning rags and rubber gloves.

Make it handy Arrange items in the pantry by food group rather than by size. Seldom used items should be on the top shelf, most often used on the

Cold storage room Clean and organize the cold room by organizing jars of preserves and storing empty canning jars on a separate shelf. The recommended storage time for home canning is one year. After that, the flavour and appearance diminishes. The lower shelves are cooler in a cold room. Meal planning will be so much easier once the kitchen and food storage areas are clean, organized and stocked. You might even be inspired to carry on throughout the house.

Pasta, dried beans and lentils can be stored in a dry, cool place almost indefinitely

“Farming is just in a person’s blood, and it just stays with you,” said Larry. He and Evelyn were raised on farms and previously lived on an acreage near Hudson Bay, Sask. “There is no use being out here if you do not have an animal,” said Evelyn, whose farm is also home to a dog and cats. They exited a cow calf operation when life got too hectic five years ago and now buy and sell cattle during the growing season. “We were not able to expand as no one was selling land … so we decided we would stay here and keep on working,” said Larry, 62, a pipefitter. “I can make more money working out than grain faming.” Larry buys up to 30 cattle through an auctioneer in March when few buyers are looking for “grassers” and he can acquire them at a lower price. They stay on pasture until they’re sold in the fall, with Larry buying grain and hay and renting hayland as needed. “For what I can buy, I don’t need the headache,” he said of growing crops. The modest herd and land base are manageable for the couple. Evelyn works at a nursing home and manages the farm chores when Larry is away. They got into horse pulling after seeing competitions at a rodeo and achieved many top three finishes before they retired from the circuit a few years ago. Their training involved day-to-

Today they often give horse drawn rides with their Fjord-Percheron cross or Belgian-Quarterhorse crosses. Evelyn drives her miniature

horses in parades and plans to raise ponies for sale. Both keep busy with other hobbies, such as Evelyn’s sewing and Larry’s antique restoration and woodworking. His fall project was creating a new dining room table using his own sawmill. They have a trailer to whisk them away to nearby lakes when hunting or fishing season calls. “I like it here,” Larry said of country living. “We will carry on as is.” karen.morrison@producer.com

If you have some suggestions that might help, we would love to hear them.

IRREGULAR PERIODS

SPEAKING OF LIFE

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JANUARY 28, 2016

I am a married 41-year-old woman. I seem to be healthy, but my periods have been irregular and some have been missed for the last year or so. I am not pregnant. My doctor think I am going into early menopause. Can you tell me why this may have happened and what problems to expect. I have two children and do not plan on having any more.

Although the average age of menopause is about 51, some women experience it earlier. It is called “early” menopause if it occurs after 40 and “premature” menopause if it occurs before that age. Most doctors do not like using the term menopause in these cases because it sounds a bit scary. Instead, they call it premature ovarian failure or primary ovarian insufficiency. Your situation may happen for no particular reason, or it may be caused by inherited conditions. Autoimmune diseases such as lupus and thyroid diseases may be to blame, and your doctor needs to check you for these illnesses. Surgical removal of the ovaries will obviously put a woman into early menopause, as will damage

to the ovaries as a result of radiation therapy or some types of chemotherapy. Your doctor can check whether you are in menopause by doing a blood test for the hormone FSH or follicle stimulating hormone. Failing ovaries result in an increase in FSH from the pituitary gland because of an attempt to stimulate the ovaries to ovulate. Levels of more than 40 are significant and indicate you are in menopause. If you are in early menopause, you will probably suffer from the usual symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness and sleeplessness, but these can be treated with hormone replacement therapy. You may also be at increased risk of osteoporosis and therefore

thinned bones and fractures. You will need regular bone density measurements, and if they show signs of osteoporosis, you may need to be prescribed a once weekly or monthly pill known as a bisphosphonate to help put calcium back into your bones. Some women may get depressed or anxious at the thought of no longer being fertile, but as you seem happy with the size of your family, this should not happen to you. You or your husband will still need to use contraceptives for a while because it is still remotely possible that you could get pregnant until your periods have completely stopped. Clare Rowson is a retired medical doctor in Belleville, Ont. Contact: health@producer.com.

My first suggestion is to find a good marital counsellor to talk to about some of the difficulties you are having. You need to know that all marriages, the good, the bad and the ugly, are loaded with disagreements. The difference in good marriages is that despite the heated arguments, the relationship is enshrined in love and caring. However, you and your husband are investing your happiness in what each other is doing. You are not going to be happy unless your husband changes and gets you to the church on time. He is not going to be content until he can get you to draw back on your nagging. It’s not working, is it? Your best bet is to try working on your own selves rather than each other’s. Do you have to get quite so upset every time your husband is stalling, or can you learn to relax a bit more? The truth is that not everything in life is punctual. Being late for many of your social engagements is not at all distracting. However, other engagements are more demanding, and you had best be on time. In those instances, you and your husband need to figure out how you are going to get to where you need to be despite his tardiness. What would happen if the two of you sat down before the event in question and talked about the need you have to get to where you want to be on time? When you accept the fact that he is going to be late and that you are going to be anxious, you have some options. Maybe you should take separate vehicles. That might seem to be a little awkward, but it at least cuts down on the stress and lets both of you enjoy both other and whatever it is that you are attending. Please remember that we marry each other for our strengths, not our weaknesses. I did not see anything in your letter about your reasons for caring about each other. I am thinking of that well known poem: how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. It is time for you and your husband to do an inventory on each other’s beauty.

Farm group finds old cash Alta. Federation of Agriculture looks for more dormant bank accounts BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RED DEER — It may be the equivalent of checking under the sofa cushions for change: the Alberta Federation of Agriculture has found more than $4,000 sitting in a dormant bank account. As well, it believes more money can be found in dormant accounts across the province. Roger Buxton of the AFA said he knew there was money in an old Unifarm regional bank account but needed to wait until the past director, who had signing authority on the bank account, died before it could be returned to the parent organization. “The person believed the money was his and had planned to give the money to a local charity,” said Buxton, also a former director

with Unifarm and the Wild Rose Agricultural Producers, both predecessor organizations to the AFA. “I am sure there is other money out there,” said Buxton of Millet, who originally farmed in Consort, which was in Unifarm’s region 11. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t more money in region 11, but if you can’t find it, what do you do?” Buxton said. Unifarm was once Alberta’s main farm organization with representatives from individual farmers and all commodity groups. Part of the organization’s membership money was returned to the 15 regions and their districts to host farm meetings. Unifarm and its predecessor organizations lost influence as farm groups began to splinter in the 1970s and regions and districts

became less active. Finding more than $4,000 in one bank account has spurred the search for more money in dormant bank accounts, said Grace MacGregor, the AFA’s treasurer. MacGregor has since found $600 in two old Unifarm accounts in the federal government’s orphan bank account fund. She hopes more older members of the organizations or their children who know about old bank accounts will return the money to the AFA. It is a long-standing policy that left-over money should be sent back to the parent organization when a region or district dissolves. “It’s not really their money to do as they choose. It should go back to the head office,” said MacGregor. mary.macarthur@producer.com

SASK. AG HALL OF FAME NEW INDUCTEES Linda Braun, Robin Morall and Pat Beaujot will be inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame this year.

ew things are as important as a good source of illumination when it comes to being outside from dusk to dawn. Head lamps have become my first choice for personal light, and the Spot model manufactured Black Diamond Gear has performed well for me. This head lamp can produce light up to 130 lumens and project light up to 75 metres. The illumination is enough to make trail walking and working during black nights much easier. Head lamps are particularly useful because they free your hands and always light up where you are looking. As well, it has both red and white light emitters, which cycle independently to maintain night vision. Maximum burn time is up to 200 hours using the more energy efficient settings. I found the head lamp to be particularly useful when walking or working at night beyond the illumination radius of camp and yard lights. It is water resistant and continues to work in rain and snow. However, it is not waterproof. The unit weighs only 90 grams

and the head band is comfortable. I have worn it for hours without any discomfort and even managed to slip it on over different hats without any illumination or wear problems. The Spot uses three common AAA batteries, which makes finding replacements simple at almost any convenience store or gas station. There is a battery meter on the side of the headlamp to monitor its charge status. The head lamp has different modes, but I found using its main light emitter to be the most efficient. It is easy to adjust brightness by holding down the power switch once the Spot is turned on. The proximity white lights, red lights for nighttime, and strobe functions were nice features but I rarely used them for my general camp and work tasks. Reading service manuals in poor environments was particularly easy because the head lamp provided more than enough light and kept my hands free to flip through pages. Black Diamond Gear’s headquarters are in Salt Lake City, Utah. Its products are sold by retailers around the world and directly from its website at www.blackdiamondequipment.com. The Spot is offered in many colours and costs about $50. It is a good value when comparing features to cost and is well worth the investment.

BANFF, Alta. — Canada’s pork industry is paying careful attention to pending trade deals, but it is difficult to estimate when or if their benefits will be felt. Martin Rice, executive director of the Canadian Pork Council, said a dispute over the Comprehensive E c o n o m i c T ra d e A g re e m e nt (CETA) between Canada and Europe could potentially scuttle the deal. Canada stands to gain export access for 80,000 tonnes of duty-

free pork to Europe through CETA. That would make up only .5 percent of total European pork consumption but would require an additional one million pigs or more to service, said Rice. It would be a major boost to the industry’s production. However, issues surrounding the investor-state dispute settlement portion of CETA may delay implementation. “EU is not going to be a big import market for us for a few years, the way things are right now,” Rice told the Banff Swine Seminar Jan. 13. barb.glen@producer.com

PRE-HARVEST GLYPHOSATE

Grain Millers Inc. firm on glyphosate-treated oats ban Company says poor starch development reduces flour quality BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian growers selling oats to Grain Millers Inc. will be required to sign an affidavit prohibiting pre-harvest glyphosate. | FILE PHOTO

Grain Millers Inc. is standing by its decision to avoid buying western Canadian oats that have been sprayed with pre-harvest glyphosate. Procurement manager Terry Tyson told growers in Saskatoon that it will buy only oats that have been allowed to mature naturally, either standing or in the swath. Tyson said use of glyphosate as a pre-harvest management product disrupts the natural maturation process and negatively affects starch development, resulting in

lower quality flakes and flour. “Last summer, in 2015, we introduced our new policy on the use of pre-harvest glyphosate, in effect banning that practice, (but) we had already taken a large position in the new crop market by that time so we are (phasing in the) policy this year,” Tyson said All Canadian growers selling oats to the company are required to sign an affidavit that prohibits pre-harvest glyphosate. Grain Millers is headquartered in Minnesota but buys Canadian oats grown primarily in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. It takes deliveries at a collection facility in Yorkton, Sask.

The company’s decision caught many growers off guard last year and some producers looked elsewhere to sell their oats. “Suffice to say that there was a fair bit of controversy over that policy, and maybe more than we had anticipated,” he told the Saskatchewan Oat Development Commission’s annual meeting at CropSphere in Saskatoon. Tyson emphasized that Grain Millers’ decision to avoid glyphosate-treated oats had nothing to do with health issues or food safety concerns. “Our policy is about functional performance.” Tyler said Grain Millers began to notice quality issues in its processed oat products four or five years ago. The company first scrutinized its processing systems and then began to look at external factors such varietal characteristics, fungicide

use and chemical applications. It eventually identified a correlation between poor flake and flour quality and the use of glyphosate as a pre-harvest management tool. The correlation was subsequently supported by laboratory analysis of starch quality. “The early use of glyphosate as a desiccant really doesn’t allow the plant to mature,” Tyson said. “It kills the oat plant, and the results are comparable to an early freeze. “It doesn’t continue to mature like it would in the swath. That prevents the starch … from maturing, and immature starch makes poor quality flakes and flour.” Practices that affect maturation hurt beta glucan production, a key nutritional attribute to the industry’s health claim linking oat consumption to heart and cardiovascular health. Willie Zuchkan, an oat grower from east-central Saskatchewan and former chair of SaskOats, said the loss of glyphosate as a pre-harvest management tool will present a challenge. “It’s going to be an adjustment because glyphosate was very valuable for weed control,” Zuchkan said. “But if it’s causing a problem at Grain Millers, then I guess we’ll have to swath the crop versus trying to desiccate and straight cut it, or we’ll have to wait for it to be dead ripe and then straight cut it.” brian.cross@producer.com

Corn-fed program expands beef market share The Ontario program plans to go national as a way to attract more cattle and meet increasing international demand BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

LONDON, Ont. — The Ontario Corn Fed beef program is no longer regional or even national in scale. Sales to Japan, the Middle East and the United States are giving the program a global impact. The Ontario Cattle Feeders’ Association launched the brand in 2001 with just 25 cattle per week. However, almost 300,000 Ontario Corn Fed animals were sold last year, including to Japan’s Kinsho Markets, which used the brand to replace beef from New Zealand. John Baker, who looks after brand and business development for the association, said sales volume has increased 70 percent since the 40-store Japanese chain launched the program in May. Jim Clark, general manager of the OCFA, said Ontario Corn Fed beef meets 20 percent of the chain’s beef requirements, but the association has set its sights on 50 percent. “The Middle East has also been a good market and continues to grow,” Clark said. “Currently, 75 percent of the product going in the Middle East has been from processors in Ontario.… At times we don’t have enough product to meet the demand.” Sixty percent of cattle finished in Ontario are marketed through the Ontario Corn Fed program, which is sold domestically through Loblaw Companies Ltd. and independent retailers in Ontario. The Jan. 15 appearance of a Loblaws’ senior vice-president at this year’s Beef Industry Convention, following previous invitations, may be an indication of the brand’s growing influence.

SAL BAIO LOBLAW COMPANIES LTD.

“We’ve been into it (Ontario corn fed) for about five years now. We’re looking to the future … We’re going to grow it and grow it,” Sal Baio said. “It’s among the finest beef in the world.… It’s consistent.” Baio said the elimination of country-of-origin labelling in the U.S. has changed trade dynamics. “With the COOL program going, more and more (cattle and beef ) will be going south,” he said. More cattle exports to the U.S. could result in less beef for the corn fed program, although Clark said he would never suggest Ontario beef producers limit their marketing avenues. A second brand, Canada Corn Fed, has expanded the program’s reach. And Marie-Claude Mainville, president of Quebec’s beef feeders association, said most of the province’s feedlot operators would need to make only minor changes, if any, to meet the program’s requirements.

The new market would be welcome. Quebec’s finished cattle exports fell to 90,000 last year from 200,000 in 2008. Mainville said the decline has been caused by reduced government support and regulations that limit the size of feedlots. Beef Farmers of Ontario have also come on board with an ambitious goal to increase the province’s cow herd by 100,000, head, according to president Bob Gordanier. The plan supports the expansion of the cow-calf industry throughout the province, including northern Ontario, where land is less expensive. “There are challenges, but when I

JIM CLARK ONTARIO CATTLE FEEDERS’ ASSOCIATION

go up there and see the potential, I wish I was 25 or 35 years younger,” Gordanier said. “The land base in the north is grass and more grass.”

The Ontario Corn Fed and Canada Corn Fed programs rely heavily on calves and backgrounders from Western Canada, making it a national effort, Clark said. Almost 30 percent of Canada’s cattle are now processed in Ontario, and most of them are program animals. Gordanier said the initiative has benefited the entire beef production industry by opening new export markets and displacing imports, especially in highly competitive Toronto market. “It’s helped us hold our market share in tough times and it ’s improved our basis,” Gordanier

said, referring to the sharp decline in beef prices in recent months. Shawn Wilson, who works for Zoetis but was formerly a buyer for Tyson in Alberta, said most U.S. cattle feeders have been losing money for the sat 12 months. It’s only been since September that the problem began to be felt in Canada. “You guys (with Ontario Corn Fed) have bought quite a few cattle,” he said. “You have done a good job placing and selling cattle.” In both the past two years, close to 300,000 cattle have been marketed through the Ontario Corn Fed program.

Disease scouting, identification determine method of control

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t neglect scouting for disease: pathologist

New technology can get help diagnose problems to speed control measures

Despite low levels last year, expert warns fungi will return if conditions are right

BY WILLIAM DEKAY BY BARB GLEN

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Farmers who want better disease management should seek better information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diagnostics are a really important part of the disease scouting aspect as well as the follow up at the end of the season,â&#x20AC;? said Faye Dokken-Bouchard. The plant disease specialist for the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture discussed new approaches to disease management during CropSphere in Saskatoon Jan. 13. Proper diagnosis includes regular crop scouting and disease surveys to identify problems, as well as effectiveness of control measures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diagnostics can be everything from when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out in the field and looking at the plant, going through the field in the proper pattern, pulling up plants and looking at the roots to the foliage of the plants, flowers that are present and the seed, and seeing if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of place or that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look quite right,â&#x20AC;? she said. A diagnostic lab can do further testing of samples. She added that some labs can do a process called plating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plating is where you take a piece of the plant and put it on a growth media to grow pathogens. You can isolate the pathogens present using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology to confirm specific pathogens based on their DNA,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then you can know for sure.â&#x20AC;? Handheld phones have also helped in diagnostics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we can get microscopic images in the field,â&#x20AC;? DokkenBouchard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like having a dissecting microscope in your hand in the field. You can have it attached to the phone so that you can send a picture to a pathologist or agronomist who might be able to help you diagnose it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That (a clear photo) can sometimes help us do a diagnosis right then and there, or it can at least supplement samples. If you send samples to the lab you have photos to go along with it, it can be really helpful.â&#x20AC;? She said good record keeping and planning for the next crop are essential in managing disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing what you have in the field is going to be really important before you do anything about it. You need to properly identify those disease issues,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Dry conditions during last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing season in Alberta kept most cereal diseases at bay, providing a silver lining to a droughty year. Forecasts for 2016 are indicating another dry year, so low disease levels might again be expected. However, Alberta Agriculture crop pathologist Mike Harding said wheat streak mosaic and stripe rust

are two diseases to watch for in the coming season, and he warned against complacency, even if conditions are dry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of the take-home messages from 2015, is that even though in the majority of cases the amount of disease was reduced because of the environment, these fungi donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappear, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Clubroot spreading As for canola, 287 new fields were identified with clubroot last year, and it was found for the first time in the Bonnyville, Mountain View and Two Hills regions. The new cases bring the total clubroot infested fields in Alberta to 2,154. “In peas, root rots were still very prevalent,” Harding said. “However the incidence and severity was down last year, and the same was true for mycosphaerella blight.” Goss’s wilt, a corn disease first found in Alberta in 2013, is now in 42 percent of fields checked, including two in central Alberta. barb.glen@producer.com

The Canadian Grain Commission is moving ahead with plans to create a new class of milling wheat: Canada Northern Hard Red. The new CNHR class will come into effect Aug. 1, along with another new class, Canada Western Special Purpose (CWSP). The changes are an effort to modernize Canada’s wheat classification system and ensure that the wheat classes are well suited to Canada’s wheat marketing efforts. The CNHR class will include recently registered American milling wheat varieties such as Elgin, Prosper and Faller. As well, an additional 25 wheat varieties now in the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat class and four varieties in the Canada Prairie Spring (CPSR) class will be reclassified as CNHR varieties in August 2018. The changes are meant to narrow the quality parameters in the CWRS class and ensure that those varieties consistently meet the expectations of foreign buyers of Canadian wheat and end users, including millers and bakers. Varieties in the CNHR class will offer slightly lower gluten strength than top quality CWRS varieties and slightly lower protein. The commission will continue to assess the quality parameters of additional wheat varieties to determine if they should be reclassified. brian.cross@producer.com

CANADA NORTHERN HARD RED (CNHR) CLASS • takes effect Aug. 1, 2016 • basic milling quality parameters • lower gluten strength than CWRS • requires quality data for varietal registration • will include U.S. varieties Faller, Elgin and Proper effective August 2016 • will include 25 existing CWRS varieties, including Unity, Lillian and Harvest, effective August 2018

CANADA WESTERN SPECIAL PURPOSE (CWSP) CLASS

Photo selective netting gives fruit and vegetable growers something to smile about, says a provincial specialist in fruit crops. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s a win, win, win,” Forrest Scharf of Saskatchewan Agriculture told the Saskatchewan Fruit Growers Association’s annual conference in Saskatoon Jan. 15-16. The special netting helps control leaf size, stem length, plant height, rate of flowering, maturation and fruit size. Scharf said it’s particularly useful in areas that are hot, dry and windy, such as Saskatchewan. Israel has been developing the technology for 18 years. “They have looked at trying to conserve moisture and use technologies that support orchard production in areas typically too dry to grow anything,” he said. The protective netting is made of tightly woven plastic threads and held in place above crops using stakes. Each section of netting canopy is six by 10 metres and comes in red, blue, yellow, pearl and grey. The colours have different photo selective filtration capacities. “It has been designed so that it affects the wavelengths that come through in specific ways,” said Scharf. “So depending on the colour, it has an influence on the light that has passed through.” Red and yellow are known to enhance healthy growth. “If you have a plant that is challenged to grow vertically, for example, under this netting they’ve found it to enhance vigour,” said Scharf. “In Saskatchewan, haskap is one we would like to see grown under this kind of netting to see if it really encourages that rapid growth because it appears to grow somewhat slowly, or a limited amount and then stops in each season.” The colour blue modifies the whole spectrum of light and absorbs a number of lights. It blocks some ultraviolet wavelengths (UVA+B+G transmittance) and allows other colours to pass through. “Blue mainly causes dwarfing, so for example, apple trees that are vigorous growers may benefit from being under blue,” he said. Pearl coloured netting scatters light, which may benefit apples by minimizing pruning. It limits growth, produces more branching and develops better canopy structure. “Pearl is also supposed to increase fruit size and the dry matter content,” he said. Grey is similar to pearl and increases branching. Scharf said plants respond differently depending on their genetics. “I know they’re (Israel) using nets for peppers, and it’s highly successful,” he said. “It improves colour and quality of the fruit. That photo selective part improves the quality of the light,

and the process that leads to nice colour is enhanced.” Some of the colours provide shading, such as blue at 30 percent. “The sunlight comes through, hits the net and below that you’ll get 30 percent less solar radiation than above,” said Scharf. “You have less evaporation out of the soil, so you’re conserving your water resources better. When it’s less drying on the soil, it also modifies the soil lightly. There are micro-organisms that are probably better able to thrive in that more moderate environment.” Shading also scatters the light underneath, which reduces the plant’s vertical growth and encourages more branching. “Despite getting 30 percent less solar radiation, (plants) photosynthesize better and absorb carbon better and then that vigor is stronger with less light. The stomata on the leaves are more open under some of these colours. That means they are better able to incorporate CO2 so they can grow better.” Photo selective netting also repulses certain insect species and can greatly reduce some populations. “Red not so much, but yellow does due to the reflective light that comes off of it,” Scharf said. “That 30 percent that is shaded out reflects and insects don’t like that reflected light so they avoid that area.” The nets also achieve micro-climate control by moderating daynight temperature changes, diffusing strong winds and protecting against hail. “It has very good elastic qualities. Even with heavy hail, it absorbs that and protects your plants from damage,” said Scharf. “In Saskatchewan, normal protocol is you leave one apple every eight inches. People are leaving two because if you get hail, one protected the other and you still have a crop.” Studies have also found disease control benefits. “Part of this is due to the fact that some diseases are transmitted via rain splashing. The photo selective netting allows moisture to come through, but it doesn’t hit in the same way that it would if it was unprotected,” he said. “The wind is also greatly reduced in the interior of the canopy. That means that there’s less rain splattering and moving disease spores from one plant to another. Yellow and pearl are also supposed to provide some disease resistance to fungal pathogens, like powdery mildew, for example.” Scharf said the netting could also reduce damage from birds, particularly in saskatoon berries and haskap. The product is not available in Canada, but Scharf sees advantages for Saskatchewan’s fruit and vegetable market. william.dekay@producer.com

More gov’t investment in technology urged NAIROBI, Kenya (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Governments must radically rethink their technology investments, which are feeding wasteful consumption, driving inequality and worsening global warming, a charity that emphasizes the use of technology to fight poverty said Jan. 21. Contrary to popular thinking, it is governments, not businesses, that often invest in high-risk, cutting-edge research, only to let the private sector scoop up the profits from the resulting products, Practical Action said. A relatively small number of people benefit from the vast majority of innovations, which rarely address basic needs like health and access to food, water and energy, Practical Action’s senior policy adviser, Amber Meikle, said in a statement. “Take the iPhone — it is almost entirely dependent on technologies developed through government-funded programs including the internet, GPS, touch-screens and Siri (a voice activated personal assistant),” she said.

Calls heighten for antibiotic action DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) — More than 80 international drug and biotech firms urged governments to work with them to combat drug-resistant super bugs, which could kill tens of millions of people within decades unless progress is made and new antibiotics found. In a declaration at the World Economic Forum in Davos, they called for co-ordinated efforts to cut unnecessary use of antibiotics and support development of new ones, including by creating new economic models and investing in research. GlaxoSmithKline chief executive officer Andrew Witty said the difficulty of finding new antibiotics was highlighted by the fact that mass screenings of hundreds of millions of chemicals at GSK and two other large firms over nine years had yielded zero potential new drugs. Since new antibiotics will likely be kept in reserve for emergencies, possible new market models could include upfront payments so profits would not depend on sales volumes. Any use of antibiotics promotes the development and spread of so-called super bugs, multidrug-resistant infections that can evade the medicines designed to kill them.

Cold helps winter wheat LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — A drop in temperatures has improved the outlook for winter wheat in France, Germany and Britain, preventing crops from becoming too advanced and thus curbing the threat from pests and disease. Crops in Poland, where temperatures have dropped as low as -25 C at night, may have suffered some winterkill although the impact is not yet known. “I am taking a relaxed view of the frosts as most of Germany has deep enough snow cover to prevent significant damage,” one German grains analyst said. “The fall in temperatures following the unusually warm November and December is even welcome as we do not want plants to get too much of an advanced growth stage which would in turn leave them very vulnerable to frost damage,” the analyst added.

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE

Survey finds more CWD in Western Canada An examination of animal heads submitted by hunters determines that the disease is spreading to new areas BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A recent hunter surveillance program suggests the population of chronic wasting disease continues to rise and spread in Western Canada. Trent Bollinger of the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative said that of the 200 animal heads submitted for testing, 18 or about 10 percent tested positive for CWD. While final numbers are still being calculated, Bollinger said 90 mule deer and 90 white-tailed deer were tested. The rest were elk and moose in equal proportions. The positive results appeared only in deer and primarily mule deer, he said. “These are 200 samples spread all over Saskatchewan but it does appear to be increasing. What we had detected previously from the larger hunter surveillance programs in years past was a couple percent,” he said. “We have four new wildlife management zones so it has spread to new areas in the province.” However, Bollinger said the data in inconclusive because the free diagnostic program lacks enough funding to enable samples to be taken from specific areas and

tracked over time. “It’s imperfect information because there’s lack of funding to pursue this adequately, but the trend is that the prevalence is increasing, the geographic distribution is expanding into new areas and the effects on populations are unknown,” he said. The disease first came to light in Saskatchewan in 1996 in a farmed elk. It was then found in a wild mule deer in 2000. Numbers kept rising

and eventually spread into Alberta. The Saskatchewan environment ministry implemented a free diagnostic program from 1997 to 2012. During that time cervid heads submitted by Saskatchewan hunters were tested and yielded data on about 45,000 animals. Saskatchewan Agriculture started a scaled back program this fall. “With the budget that has been provided, we can only test maybe 300 head. In years past, several

thousand heads were tested from across the province per year,” he said. “We need targeted surveillance to really try to understand the prevalence and change in prevalence over time and the distribution of this disease.” Rising C WD numbers could hunting as it has in areas where the disease is established like Colorado, Wyoming and Wisconsin. “Hunting opportunities are going

to be reduced because of CWD and we currently have no clear cut method for managing it, or we’re not trying to manage it, or understand how we could manage it, and so it’s going to continue to spread and increase in prevalence.” Bollinger said Saskatchewan Agriculture has indicated it will continue the program next fall at last year’s level of funding.

Asian trade agreement said to be in trouble in U.S. BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

American participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership is in potential jeopardy, says an Ameri c a n f o re c a s t e r a n d s t rat e g y adviser. Bob Treadway said the outcomes of current leadership struggles in the United States to determine Democrat and Republican party presidential candidates will affect trade and Canadians should take note. The TPP is opposed by every candidate who has a legitimate chance for presidential office, he said. “(U.S. president Barack Obama) formed an alliance with the Republicans, who are all for this,” Treadway said about the TPP.

“On the other hand, if you have executives who are Democrats who don’t want to follow that and who are being driven by the anger in the United States about the shrinking middle class in that country, how will it play out? “I think odds are eventually, and I think its going to be at least a year away, I think the TPP gets approved in the U.S., but it could be touch and go.” Many Canadian producers and exporters are counting on the TPP to increase sales and boost production. Among those are beef producers, many of whom Treadway addressed in a speech during the annual Tiffin Conference Series in Lethbridge. In an interview before his talk,

Treadway said he was bullish on the future of the beef industry. “My feeling is that of all of the many segments of agriculture, this one stands to prosper even more, I believe, in the future. “I don’t think the consumer demand is going to slack off for red meat, red meat products, in the future.” Like many in the beef export business, he looks to an expanding middle class in developing count r i e s t hat w i l l c re at e g re at e r demand for meat. However, beef producers must consider the strengthening environmental movement and its potential effect on how cattle are raised in the future. Scientists have already produced a cultured beef patty in a lab and

although that experiment cost $350,000 per patty, Treadway said those costs have been reduced by 80 percent since 2013. In another five years, the cost could be as low as $4 per pound. “Will beef be produced over the coming decade in its traditional form and format, with an outdoor animal environment, with all the subsequent things that happen as a result of that, or will it go indoors? Or … will it eventually, at least some portion of red meat, be produced in an industrial environment?” Treadway said the advantages of industrial lab-grown meat might prove too attractive to resist, with its reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower water use and other environmental considerations. However, he said China is going

in another direction, by planning to clone 100,000 cattle and raise them in concentrated feedlots. “They eventually believe that they will scale that up to a million and probably put it in a very concentrated feeding operation, and you tell me what that looks like as compared to doing an industrial process that doesn’t involve creating that many live animals with those sorts of environmental impacts.” Treadway speculated that in the future, fast food burger chains might opt for industrially produced meat but there w ill still be a demand for beef produced in more conventional ways at the high end of the marketplace. barb.glen@producer.com

STRAPPING THE STRAW

OUTLOOK

Global grain supply to remain burdensome SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The International Grains Council expects grain supplies will again be ample in 2016-17. The IGC’s January report says large stocks will be carried in to the new year and prospects for production are little changed from the previous year. For wheat, IGC forecasts a slight reduction in global seeded acres. “While conditions for 2016-17 winter wheat have not been entirely ideal in some regions, global harvest prospects remain mostly favourable,” the report said. The organization tentatively forecasts average yields leading to production of 706 million tonnes, down about three percent.

However, it sees reduced feed consumption meaning global consumption will likely decline. “Some contraction is possible in end 2016-17 stocks, but inventories could still be the second highest ever.” IGC increased its estimate of 201516 year end wheat stocks to 213 million tonnes, up by five million tonnes due to a combination of increased production estimates for China and Canada and a slight reduction in expected consumption. However it trimmed its estimate of 2015-16 corn production by eight million tonnes to 959 million and lowered its year end stocks number to 196 million tonnes. Overall, global grain stocks at the end of the current crop year are seen at a 29-year high.

Canadian Pacific Railway will reduce its North American workforce by as many as 1,000 people this year in response to reduced freight volumes, lower demand for rail services and improved operational efficiencies that reduce labour requirements. In a Jan. 21 conference call with investors, CP chief executive officer Hunter Harrison said most job cuts would take place by the end of May. The company has reduced its workforce by about 6,500 people over the past four years, primarily through attrition. In 2015, the company’s head count was reduced by roughly 12 percent. “I think with some of the operating initiatives … and productivity gains … there are probably another 1,000 additional heads to come out, potentially in 2016,” Harrison said. “This is across the board — labour, management, everywhere.” CP president Keith Creel said productivity gains combined with lower demand for rail services has prompted the company to reduce costs. “Simply said, less demand, when you put that in conjunction with continuing improvements in productivity, must produce an environment where you have fewer assets — fewer locomotives, fewer cars, fewer people,” Creel said. As well, CP has almost 600 locomotives in storage, a reflection of lower traffic volumes and a sluggish economic outlook. On a full year basis, CP posted record revenues of $6.71 billion in 2015. However, its fourth quarter performance fell short of expectations, hampered by sluggish Nor th American demand for rail service and falling commodity prices. The Calgary-based company reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.72 in the three months

ending Dec. 31, 2015, slightly below analysts’ expectations of $2.76. The company’s fourth quarter operating ratio, a key measurement of operational efficiency, was 59.8 percent, identical with the company’s record setting performance the previous year. For 2016, Harrison projected double digit earnings per share growth and a full year operating ratio below 59 percent. The fourth quarter of 2015 presented its share of challenges to the North American railway industry. CP, which collects more than half of its annual revenue in U.S. dollars, benefitted from a weak Canadian loonie, but freight revenue was down in the fourth quarter and the economic outlook for 2016 is uncertain. Fourth quarter 2015 freight revenues at CP were listed at $1.65 billion compared to $1.72 billion in the fourth quarter of 2014. Net income for the quarter was $319 million, down from $451 million a year earlier. On the expenditure side, fourth quarter fuel costs were down significantly at $166 million from $255 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Freight revenue was down in most areas, but income from Canadian grain was up 11 percent in the quarter, suggesting that increased grain shipments have helped the company weather revenue losses in other sectors. Fourth quarter grain revenues were listed at $296 million, compared to $267 million a year earlier. Fourth quarter freight revenues were also up in the fertilizer and sulfur segment (up 18 percent), forest products (up 20 percent) and automotive (up nine percent). Revenues from crude oil were down 19 percent at $105 million. Canadian National Railway was scheduled to report its quarterly and year end earnings Jan. 26. brian.cross@producer.com

ANIMAL HEALTH

U.S. deploys new plan to control bird flu The new strain of the virus has never been seen in the United States, forcing the federal government to take action CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. farm and health officials are racing to assess the threat that a type of bird flu never before seen in the country poses to humans and poultry. They are using emergency plans drawn up in the wake of a devastating outbreak in birds last year. The federal government sprang into action Jan. 15 after confirmation that the virus had hit an Indiana turkey farm, alerting other states to the danger and putting workers who might have been exposed to the virus under surveillance. Last year’s outbreak led to the deaths of more than 48 million chickens and turkeys, either killed by the virus or culled to contain it. No cases were reported in humans. Strains similar to the new virus, known as H7N8, have on rare occasions made people ill, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state officials aim to reduce the risk of human infection. They also want to blunt the impact on the poultry industry, which suffered billions of dollars in losses in last year’s outbreak. Egg supplies shrank and prices surged to record highs. “ We a re h o p e f u l t hat a s w e respond very quickly to this virus, that we can get it contained and hopefully not see an extensive outbreak like we did last year,” said T.J. Myers, an associate deputy administrator for the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The government’s ability to contain the disease is far from certain, even if the response is fast. Officials have never dealt with this strain before, and wild birds are thought to spread the disease to farms through feces dropped from the air, making infections difficult to prevent. U.S. officials have taken to heart lessons from last year’s outbreak, when USDA workers could not always kill infected flocks fast enough to contain the virus. Workers are now trying to cull sick flocks within 24 hours of diagnoses, following a goal the agency set in the fall. Most turkeys at the infected farm were killed within a day, but it was 29 hours before all were dead, said Denise Derrer, spokesperson for the Indiana State Board of Animal Health. No human infections associated with the new strain have ever been reported, according to the USDA. Still, people who interacted with infected turkeys were quickly placed under a new monitoring plan developed in response to last year’s outbreak, said Michael Jhung, a medical officer at the CDC. The agency also plans to conduct lab tests and animal studies of the virus. Similar H7 viruses, which share the same surface proteins, have caused problems in people ranging from mild, flu-like symptoms to serious respiratory illness, Jhung said. “We know very little about this particular virus because we haven’t seen it, but we want to take as many precautions as we can to prevent any human infections,” he said. There is always uncertainty around any new strain of influenza because the virus acquires mutations passing from host to host. The Indiana flock appears to have

become infected when a less dangerous form of the virus in the area mutated, said John Clifford, the USDA’s chief veterinarian. Limited genetic data from preliminary diagnostic tests showed this H7N8 virus originated from North America, while last year’s strains had roots in Europe and Asia, government officials said. North American viruses have typically posed less of a threat to humans than viruses from the Asian avian H5N1 lineage, said Carol Cardona, an avian flu expert at the University of Minnesota. Viruses in the H5N1 lineage “are

super bad guys,” Cardona said. Still, outbreaks of North American viruses in Pennsylvania in 1983 and British Columbia in 2000 were “devastating and difficult” for poultry, she added. The new strain found in the United States, like these previous viruses, is considered highly pathogenic, meaning it is especially deadly to poultry. In Indiana, the USDA quickly deployed personnel and equipment to assist the state with culling birds and testing nearby flocks, said Bret Marsh, Indiana’s state veterinarian.

Marsh alerted other states about the new virus outbreak on an emergency conference call in the early hours of Jan. 15. “We realize that if it’s indeed of wild bird origin, they know no boundaries, so we want to make sure that everyone is properly informed,” Marsh said. Bird flu cost the U.S. poultry industry an estimated $3.3 billion in 2015 because farmers had to destroy infected flocks and halt production for months. Importers also cut back on trade in the $5.7 billion poultry and egg export market, and some have already limited shipments

because of the new outbreak. U.S. negotiators have worked with trading partners in the past year to focus restrictions on infected counties or states, instead of blocking shipments from the entire country, said Toby Moore, spokesperson for the USA Poultry & Egg Export Council. That could minimize the economic burden of outbreaks. Farmers have also strengthened cleaning and security practices in a bid to keep out the virus, with many requiring workers to change their shoes before entering barns and barring delivery trucks from getting too close to poultry barns.

BEEF MARKETING

Consumers rule on animal welfare, says university official argued that merging the three prairie wheat pools was the only way to increase market share. Joint ventures were already in the works, such as AWP and Saskatchewan Wheat Pool’s plans to operate an elevator together and an initiative to combine work at Vancouver and Thunder Bay, but Heasman said a merger was the ultimate step to make the ventures work.

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.

Bruno Schiefer, director of the University of Saskatchewan’s Toxicology Research Centre, said livestock producers of the future may be forced to raise their animals “naturally,” whether they liked it or not. He said naturally raised meat was what “his majesty, the consumer” would demand from producers. “They (consumers) speak in a rather convincing language — money,” Schiefer said.

75 YEARS AGO: JAN. 30, 1941 Everyone seemed to be getting along when representatives of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture met with the full federal cabinet to present its recommendations for a co-ordinated national agricultural policy and an immediate substantial increase in farm income. Prime minister McKenzie King said the CFA’s presentation “could not have been made in a finer spirit,” and agriculture minister J.G. Gardiner agreed that farm prices should be higher all along the line.

50 YEARS AGO: JAN. 27 1966

The Saskatchewan Cattle Breeders’ Association asked the provincial government to introduce legislation to prevent the foreclosure of mortgages on farms for the duration of the war and to stop interest payments on farm indebtedness until prices improved.

Federal agriculture minister Joe Greene had some explaining to do after blasting the Canadian Pacific Railway for what he called a boxcar shortage that was delaying grain shipments. CPR brass met with government officials in what was described as a frosty meeting, and

10 YEARS AGO: JAN. 26, 2006 Scenes like this became commonplace on the Prairies following the election of the federal Conservatives in 2006, which brought with it a concerted effort to dismantle the Canadian Wheat Board’s marketing monopoly. | FILE PHOTO finance minister Mitchell Sharpe didn’t appear interested in defending his cabinet colleague, saying it was not correct to claim that any part of the transportation system had broken down.

sub-marginal farmers and put their land back into economic use. Establishment of a Canadian dairy commission also made the government’s list of priorities.

25 YEARS AGO: JAN 31, 1991 The federal government announced in its speech from the throne that it planned to buy out

Don Heasman, chief executive officer of Alberta Wheat Pool,

Stephen Harper’s Conservatives came to power with a minority government, ushering in a new era of agricultural politics. “The West has wanted in,” he told a victory rally Jan. 23. “The West is in.” Canada’s fourth case of BSE was found in a six-year-old cow from Alberta. “The case of course was unwelcome but it is not unexpected,” said Brian Evans, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s chief veterinarian. bruce.dyck@producer.com

ORGANICS

More producers switching to organics Increased prices are part of the reason, but many farmers are interested in lower input costs and cover crops BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The allure of high organic prices has become irresistible for some growers. Industry representatives say 2015 was a fantastic year for Canada’s organic grain sector with the number of new producers jumping substantially. “I’ve done more inspections for new, transitioning growers in 2015 than I (have) in many years beforehand,” said Stuart McMillan, an organic inspector in Manitoba. “It is existing, conventional farmers (moving to organic).” C a n a d a’s o r g a n i c i n d u s t r y doesn’t have hard numbers to support McMillan’s observations because organic statistics are often unreliable or two years out of date. However, other people in the industry have witnessed a similar trend. “ I t ’s p r o b a b l y s o m e w h e r e between a 20 and 30 percent increase in the number of people telling us that they’re in transition

GLOBAL HUNGER

Drought rages in Ethiopia NAIROBI, Kenya (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Donors are not responding fast enough to an unprecedented drought in Ethiopia, aid agencies say. The agencies said more than 400,000 children younger than five are severely malnourished despite strong economic growth and big development gains over the last decade. Ethiopia is experiencing its worst drought in 50 years, and 10.2 million people, which is one-tenth of the population, cannot feed themselves because their crops and animals have died. “We’ve definitely been ringing the alarm since last summer, but I think, sadly, sometimes it takes pictures of children suffering to get people to actually take things seriously,” said Carolyn Miles, president of Save the Children in the United States, after visiting Ethiopia’s Afar and Amhara regions. One-quarter of the $1.4 billion needed to respond to the crisis has been pledged, the United Nations’ Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said, but most of these contributions have not yet been paid. In a malnutrition centre in the northeastern lowlands of Afar, Miles met a little boy who had been admitted for severe malnutrition for the second time in two months. “Sending kids back into a situation where they don’t have enough food to really stay out of severe malnutrition, some of those kids are really suffering,” she said. Ethiopia is the charity’s humanitarian priority globally. Africa’s second most populous nation has been hit by two consecutive failed rains, most recently because of El Nino, which is causing hunger around the globe.

(since January 2015),” Laura Telford, an organic business development specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, told an organic workshop held during Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon Jan. 21. An increase in the number of producers represents a turnaround for Canada’s organic sector, which lost hundreds of producers from 2009-12. “We think it’s between 20 and 40 percent of organic producers (on the Prairies) left in the three years of the recession,” Telford said last year. In 2014, industry leaders developed a strategy to win back the dropouts and attract new entrants:

promote the profitability of organics. Organic grains and oilseeds have been double or triple the price of conventional grains over the last few years, thanks to robust demand in North America. According to Alberta Agriculture, organic grain prices in December were: • Brown flax: $38 per bushel (364 percent higher than conventional) • Oats: $7 per bu.

organic is worth the effort. “I would characterize them (people transitioning to organic) as conventional farmers who have crunched the numbers,” McMillan said. “If you look at the numbers, even marginal cropland can make (for) a very positive bottom line.” The meeting room for the Brandon workshop was packed, another sign that conventional producers are considering the three-year transition to organics. “I think economics is the driver, but it’s not the only one,” Telford said. “There are lots of (producers) in

ORGANIC NUMBERS • Canada had 3,513 organic farmers in 2013. • On the Prairies, there were 279 in Alberta, 764 in Saskatchewan and 124 in Manitoba. • Anecdotal evidence suggests there has been an increase since 2013, but organic data is typically two years out of date.
